    Thread Graphics Artifacting

    I've got a D801 (T-Mobile) and over the past month or so, I've been experiencing pretty severe graphical artifacts. It usually consists of multiple purple and green horizontal lines, about a pixel wide, all over the screen (on both the image and any accompanying text content). It is often...

    Post [ROM}SlimKat-xt907-[Unofficial]

    Been getting random reboots during music playback. Happens with PowerAmp, N7Player, and Pandora (all that I've tested). No set time interval - I've had it reset multiple times in 10 minutes as well as run perfectly for 30-40 minutes. This was also an issue with the last ROM I used...

    Post [ROM] [4.4.4] [V500] Mahdi-Rom 2.9 Final

    This looks like the error you get if you're not using the latest version of TWRP. Make sure your TWRP is updated and try flashing then.

    Post Restored Firmware but now stuck in a bootloop

    Same issue. Unfortunately, the reason why I was restoring the firmware is because I'm trying to get it RMA'ed for a hardware issue - the volume up button is (nearly; I can get download mode to function occasionally) non-functional. I thought it might be buggy software, so I tried a different...

    Post Is Newegg good ?

    Newegg is usually fine, though they do like to re-sell returned items from time to time (especially for exchange replacements), and their return policy blows (they force you to pay shipping - about $12 - and won't ship you a new item until they receive and process the old one, which takes about...

    Thread Glitchy Side Buttons

    Anyone have issues with glitchy power/volume buttons? My power button occasionally doesn't work properly (turns off/reboots the tablet when held down, but won't put it to sleep/bring up the power options menu) and the volume keys go haywire from time to time, raising the volume when nothing is...

    I've tried that, but it doesn't work. When I release the power button, then press it and volume up, the tablet just turns off. Also, download mode has stopped working for some reason. I'm holding volume up and volume down while inserting the usb cable, but it just tries to boot rather than...

    Post [RECOVERY] [TWRP 2.8.0.0] [v500] [9-11-2014]

    Any way to get into TWRP if I'm stuck on the boot animation? I think I forgot to restore my boot partition when I flashed a new ROM and restored my data, and it's stuck. I know I can restore back to stock and start over, but that's a pain I'd like to avoid if at all possible.

    Post Any problems with G Pad? Nexus 7 or something else?

    The non-unlockable bootloader isn't really an issue since it's been bypassed with Loki, which gets used for everything that needs to get by the bootloader. The yellow-toned screen is an issue for some people, but not others. It can be balanced out with screen tweak apps if you do have a...

    Post VOIA LG G Pad 8.3 Premium Standing Case - Black with Pic

    Good to know - I mainly get screen protectors for reducing fingerprints (I have oily fingers, so without a protector, my screen looks like garbage after a few hours of use), so the GearMaxx one wouldn't work for me. I'll give The Evecase ones a shot.

    There's an even easier way that just uses the LG Mobile Support tool linked in the OP of that thread. Put the pad in download mode with the tool running, then click Options (on the top right) and Upgrade Recovery. That downloads the firmware direct from LG and installs it automatically. You...

    Post [Q] LG G Pad 8.3 stuck after flashing CMB 4.4.2 ROM

    Your best bet would be to restore the factory firmware and start over. To do this, follow the instruction in this thread. The only change is that to enter Download Mode on the G Pad, you hold volume up and volume down while inserting the USB cable rather than just volume up.

    Post [Q] Is my GPad bricked ?

    Follow the instructions in this thread to flash the stock ROM. The only difference is that the button sequence to enter Download Mode on the G Pad is to hold volume up and volume down (not just volume up) while plugging in the USB cable.

    Post Screen protectors

    I pulled it out today, and it's almost fixed. However, there's a dead row on the screen at about where the 5 key sits on the calculator. If I push anything in that row, it registers the touch in the row below. So if I push 5, I get 2 (or sometimes 52), and so forth. I'm pretty pissed.

    Screen quality seems to really vary. Mine had horrible light bleed when I first turned it on, but it went away after about a day. My screen is only ever so slightly yellow tinted, and I don't have the blue line. Your second con sounds like you got a defective one. Mine is pretty smooth (some...

    Post Just got my G Pad

    It depends heavily on your individual screen. For mine, I just needed to bump blue to +7 to get it looking the way I wanted it to. I originally tried the same settings as joshuadjohnson22, but my screen ended up looking purple. I don't remember what he had for Screen Adjuster, but the...

    Post Screen protectors

    Thanks for the tips. Can't turn it off because the screen refuses to register touches in the center, but it's just about out of battery now, so it should be turning off on its own soon. It's currently in its bag of rice in a warm spot, so we'll see how it turns out.

    That's what I did as well, but my screen appears to be thoroughly borked. It's registering touches when I'm not even holding it, and I can't even turn it off because pressing the on-screen confirmation buttons does absolutely nothing. My best guess is that some of the application fluid got...

    I would be extremely cautious with any of the screen protectors that require water for application. The G Pad doesn't seem to be sealed very well, and (as I said above) I managed to get some water under the screen despite following the directions exactly.

    Post [Q] What will I miss by not getting the G Pad Google Play Edition

    My non-GPE doesn't have a noticeable blue line (or bad yellow tint, or strong light bleed), so it's not guaranteed that the GPE will have the same issue. Could have been a bad batch of screens.

    Post [Q] What will I miss by not getting the G Pad Google Play Edition

    That's what I thought, but the page in the play store lists NFC as one of the features. Of course, it also doesn't list GPS, so it could just be a typo. Edit: It was a typo. The page did originally say that it had NFC, but that's been removed now.

    Post [Q] What will I miss by not getting the G Pad Google Play Edition

    GPE has NFC. Edit: the Play Store page originally said that it had NFC, but that has now been removed. Must have been a typo. I imagine the dev support will be more or less cross-platform given that they're on the same hardware, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    1. Mine charged while I was using it last night. Wasn't paying attention to the numbers, but it did go up. It won't charge faster than it drains while connected to the computer though. I would expect the clean ROM on the GPE version to use less battery, so you'd have even better luck with...

    Mine appears (to me) to be pretty white. Next to my phone, it looks rather yellow, but objectively, my phone is quite blue. I threw the Screen Adjuster app on to see what I could do with it, and I set it to Blue +7. Anywhere past that, and it started to look too blue. Still looks yellow next...

    Yup, that's exactly what it does. it takes a screenshot and allows you to edit it, then gives you the option to save it to the gallery or the Notebook app. Pretty sure you can run it out of the notification bar as well.
