The pin issue could be a series of things. If you're using a fingerprint and it asks every time, perhaps a third party launcher could be the cause. If anything other than pressing the power button or double tapping *specifically the status bar* (with the exception of the stock launcher) turns of the screen, fingerprint is disabled. Or perhaps if you mean you don't use a fingerprint and you don't want it to lock up every time your screen turns off, look at the bottom of the Lock Screen Settings and uncheck "Power key instantly locks" and increase the "Lock timer" setting.

Thank you.
I had set the fingerprint but I stopped it. Now it asks me always for my PIN I set in the beginning.
I don't want the PIN!!! I want to unlock without PIN. I can't find the setting of this.

Because of Korean version, the firmware has no all the languages. Is there any tip to add language (No the keyboard, I mean the system).

And the last thing is the GPS that takes too long to lock.

Thank you for your support.

Languages are the first option in Languages and Keyboard. Once you add another one, tap and hold a language to prioritize what language to use. Under Lock Screen in the Settings, the first option lets you change from a pin to a swipe to unlock.

Thank you again.

The pin is been removed.
There is no Greek language to add.
Is there any other way to add other languages?

Not really, but I saw it in the languages when I looked. I wouldn't think different variants don't have all languages. If that is the case, I guess me having the international model would explain.

Thanks.
Maybe an international firmware port for all the models would be good!!!!
Please tell me. Your GPS is fast locked? Mine not at all!!
It reminds me some old Chinese phones!!!

My GPS works just fine. Could just be because I'm in America. Not sure if it's a lack of reception to gps satallites or a bad gps sensor in the phone. There is a workaround for adding a language if it's not showing up on the phone, but requires doing some adb work. If you're not very familiar with abd look up a guide on how to enable usb debugging, how to get adb, and how to use it. Get this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wanam

and enter

adb -d shell pm grant com.wanam android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION

in adb. Now select the language in the app and it should be available in the phone's settings.

File System Change Interupted... now TWRP won't load

First the system failed to mount, unknown error 150
Then I decided to attempt to change the file system
While the file system was changing, the phone fell and battery dislodged
Now when I attempt to boot into recovery, all I see is the TEAMWIN splashscreen

Just picked up an unlocked LG V20 US99610f Build Number NRD90M. With a quick google search, I was able to locate information on unlocking the BL and root method. The links to the sites are below. Can someone confirm these methods or suggest better sources? I'm coming from a rooted Droid Turbo and Nexus 6p and completely new to this device and want to be certain of these methods before modifying the phone. (TIA)

I have lg h990ds. I have blocked app notifications for some apps. Sometimes i get notification sound but no notifications appear. I don't remember which apps I've blocked

 

[dgattenb]

go to fingerprint and security and tick unknown sources ... that in the stock rom

Since two days I can't do anything on my external SD card. I delete it, I format it, I restart my smartphone. I remove it and I plug it back in. I can delete on there what I want. It tells me in the same session it's empty, but when I restart everything is back on there. PLUS I can't copy anything on there since it seems to say to me

"Das Gerät reagiert nicht mehr oder die Verbindung wurde getrennt."
=
"The device doesn't respond anymore or the connection got separated."

What can I do to fix that?

Have you tried plugging it into a PC via a Micro SD adapter and seeing if it is accessible from there? It could possibly be something to do with the partition table on the SD becoming corrupted, if so, the best option would be to use Diskpart and completely clean the device and rebuild the partitions.

Reference to the above method: https://fossbytes.com/how-to-repair-corrupted-pen-drive-or-sd-card/

Worse case, the SD might just have failed. This can happen, although slightly uncommon, everything has the potential to fail and I've had quite a few give out on me over the years. Although the question isn't strictly to do with the V20, it is a difficulty one might encounter while using any device.

K, I plugged it into my PC via Micro SD adapter. I had access. I changed the name of the adapter and formated it and all. Restarted my phone and my phone and the stick contained the same files. I tried to format it via CMD, but I get this error:"Error in DiskPart: The system can't find the mentioned file. You can find more information about this in your systemhappeningprotocol (??? don't know how to translate that properly).

Is the SD card already broken? I used it almost 2 - 3 years now. Can I write SanDisk to get a new one? A other dude did that as well and got a spare one.

Hi there,

You used the Diskpart method, correct?

The steps go as follows:

NOTE: DISKPART CAN DAMAGE YOUR SYSTEM IF NOT USED CAREFULLY, FOLLOW THESE STEPS CLOSELY AND IF YOU'RE UNSURE ABOUT SOMETHING. DON'T DO IT WITHOUT FINDING OUT FIRST, I (WELKWO) AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU WIPE YOUR COMPUTER'S DATA AND PARTITIONS OR FOR ANY DATA LOSS/DAMAGE IN GENERAL. THIS ADVICE IS DISPENSED IN A "AT YOUR OWN RISK BASIS."

1. Open a administrative Command Prompt window.
2. Type diskpart into the command line
3. Upon starting, type in "lis dis" without quotes and select the disk that matches the size of the SD card in question by typing "sel dis #" and replace # with the dis number to your SD Card.
4. type "clean" and wait for the command to finish. Then type "create part prim" and then "format fs=fat quick".
5. (Optional) Type "assign letter=Y" (Replace 'Y' with any mount point you'd like.

If all goes well, the SD Card should be fixed. In addition, I'd also back that up by running a chkdsk command by exiting diskpart and opening another administrator command prompt. Then, type chkdsk -f X: (replace 'X' with the mount point letter you gave the device above.)

If the above fails, it is more than likely that your SD Card finally gave out on you through so many years of hard work.

That's basically what the tutorial said and I did it as well. I reproduced the error therefore
Also: Using yellow on a white background isn't that beneficial to read. I know I can select the text, but I'm kinda lazy in regards to that stuff. XD

I hate to throw in the towel but it seems like it may have died on you, did you try chkdsk? Or is it even getting a mountpoint when you insert it?

No access to it. I'll write SanDisk now. Thanks anyway.

Question: how can I reassign the double click volume down to quick launch a different camera app? I'm not impressed with lg's auto mode in their camera but the modded google camera v4.4 with hdr+ is great.

I'm rooted with an unlocked bootloader.

Thanks in advance.

Soni am having this issue with my ATT H910 running WETA. I attained root a few days ago and flashed WETA. Being the flasher I am, I finished AOKP and wanted to try it out. I wiped like usual, but i think I had a bad download. I restored my WETA backup and rebooted. When I get to my start screen it asks for my password like normal, but my password is incorrect. The only way to pass it is to wipe the ROM and start from scratch. I have to do this every time. Has anyone ran into this and if you have, how did you fix it?
