Any way to increase resolution on youtube from 720p to 1080 or better?

 

[Sbrown3791]

I have a question, and please beware that I am a complete idiot when it comes to technology, so if someone can help me, please talk to me like you are speaking to a kindergartener!

Ok I've had my phone since the first week of December. Have never had any problems communicating to anyone - call, txt, FB, msngr, etc. For the past couple days, I have 1 contact who can txt me, call me, I can call him, but he does not receive my texts. I've tried another site like this, but nobody answered me. While this is not dire, it is extremely frustrating as we are not able to drop what we are doing at work to call the other. I've tried everything (I think) and truth be told, I've pushed so many dang buttons I probably have this whole phone out of sorts. Oh, we are both with Verizon. We both have android devices. Any suggestions, ideas? Thank you!

Do you have to have a lock set up on the lock screen in order to be able to use finger print sensor? I want to use the fingerprint login for specific apps - Lastpass, bank etc. But I don't want to have my phone locked with anything more than a swipe. It seems whenever I disable locking on the lock screen, it also deletes my fingerprints. Is there a solution to this limitation?

Question.. I am on Team Devdigitel's rooted stock ROM.

Anything we have to specifically back up in TWRP before making customizations? Flashing mods, changes for system UI, etc. Is the backup and restore process the same as it was with my galaxy? I ask because LG seems to be doing things so different lol. Thanks

V20 boot

Hello, I have a v20 and its rooted, when it boots it gives me the " your phone can't be trusted" screen. I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of that screen without unrooting?

Hi, I just ordered an unlocked H990DS from Australia. Of course it will come with that region code. LG-firmwares .com doesn't have firmware for my region.

Does the region affect the performance/bands or anything of the phone, or only which languages are available?
What other effect would having the wrong region firmware have?
thanks, Edwin

I think it would generally affect the bands and the language but im not entirely sure. What region are you thinking about putting on it?

Is there a way to set the wide angle camera as the default camera so that 3rd party apps use the wide angle rear camera instead of the current primary?

V20 from tmobile (h918) not working with cricket sim

Hi everyone I just purchases this confirmed unlocked device from ebay and I'm not getting any service on cricket. It works when I tried with an Att sim card, or a foreign sim. I changed all the settings and still no luck. It's strange because when I put my cricket wireless sim I no service (it shows that it is searching for service) but the phone shows I have voice messages and the settings page shows my phone number. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

[eslonim]

I think it would generally affect the bands and the language but im not entirely sure. What region are you thinking about putting on it?

Language English, but bands I would like optimized for Israel. Does anyone know for sure the effect of regions on LG phones please?

I am doing that, and quite happy with the results, using Finger Security.
