Is there a sidesync variant for LG? - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Hi there,
I haven't had an LG since the old slider phones but since the note 7 was recalled, here I am.
Can anyone tell me if there is a sidesync variant for LG? Or can sidesync be side-loaded successfully to the V20? I really enjoyed using that feature more than I knew before I bought this phone and would like to have that functionality back. Helps me multitask when working, lol.
Thanks!

Galaxy Tab 7 as a phone?

Hey all,
I am considering purchasing the Samsung P6800 Galaxy Tab 7.7 Plus Android 3.2 WCDMA Tablet Phone w/7.7" Capacitive - Grey (16GB) to use as my primary cell device. I would be getting the European model, so whether or not I could use it for calls is not an issue. However, I am a bit concerned that carrying around such a bulky device and a bluetooth headset to boot would be a bit much. So the question is: Should I use it for calls? Has anyone tried this before? Does anyone who uses one of these on a regular basis have anything to say about its bulk?
Thanks!

Please post your questions in the right forum, you'll get the response you need. This forum is the Galaxy Tab 10.1, has nothing to do with the 7.
it can be as a phone, but it may be a little big. Sometimes it's not convenient.
*Chokes* $655?
*Wipes eyes* I hope I'm reading that incorrectly.

The speed of this tablet is amazing, I have yet to find any lag, I seen some people complain about Samsungs touchwiz as being slow and buggy, I found that out on my Galaxy S4G, but that is not a problem as I use Go Launcher Ex, a free launcher on the Android Market, and by far IMO the best launcher there is, so do not let touch which stop you from getting this tab.

LG Apps on Note 4?

I currently own the LG G3 but after a lot of research I am thinking of switching over to the Note 4. The only thing that I would really miss about the lg is the quick remote app. I have used many remote apps but it is hands down the best. I have extracted the apk file and installed it on my girlfriends S5 to see if it would work on samsung or not, it did not. Is there away to get this app to work on the Note 4? I know that it comes with the Samsung smart remote but my LG has been way more successful than my girlfriends Samsung at accessing any and all tvs, surround sounds, etc.
EDIT: I probably should of posted this in the android apps and games thread. If a Mod would please move this I would appreciate it, thank you and sorry.

MHL Adapter or Miracast or Chromecast?

Hello All,
I recently bought a Tab 4 8.0 (T-337A). I just wanted to know does MHL work with this? Or Miracast would be a better option?
I also have a Note 5. So an all round performer would be preferred. But the main goal is to connect the Tab 4 to the TV.

Ive been personally using chromecast and its good, havent found anything bad about it, my best 35$ ive spent you can put your tv show etc on chromecast and shut down tablet and watch it.
But i heard there are limited apps. And with Miracast you can just about do anything. For $20 more, you can get a lot more out of it isn't it?

There is also option to show real time device using but on my phone kt just crashed and rebooted phone, havent tried on tablet. It was beta test of it so google is developing real time streaming to tv. Also ive heard about miracast that it has pretty noticeable delay. Ive used chrome remote control and it has no delay between my PC and tablet, so i belive that google can make chromecast faster than miracast. At this moment miracast is better but it might change when update comes official and not a test.
Ok Cool! Thanks for the inputs!

afaik the tab4 is not mhl capable.
I think 10.1 is MHL compatible. But have not been able to find anything concrete about the 8.0. That is why i asked before getting anything.

Oculus and Gear VR on LG V20

We've got two Gear VRs and no Note 7s. Is it possible to run the Gear VR on the V20? Our V20s are T-Mo. Will we be able to root and spoof the build.prop phone id as an S7E to get it to run? How about sideloading the Oculus app?
I've tested and the V20 fits into the Gear VR nicely. The USB C engages correctly.
Does anyone have any info on this? There must be less of others with useless Gear VRs after returning their Note 7s.
The form factor and "Detection" of the Gear VR software would be your 2 hurdles to get over with using the Gear VR. At this point I am selling my Gear VR 2016 model.
if the v20 fits, you might be able to run Cardboard apps or view youtube 360 movies...the gear vr will then just be a overgrown google cardboard
I've got a rooted Note7. When I try to log into Oculus, it refuses to allow it. However, if I change the phone type to an S7 in build.prop, it logs in fine. I'm hoping we get root on the V20 and I'll be able to do the same trick.
It seems like there's not much action on rooting, however. Does anyone know why, or is it just too early. Supposedly the T-Mobile V20 is bootloader unlocked.

It's not just the build.prop. The Note 7 was shut down by Oculus due to the recall. The Samsung premium phones have detection software that the V20 doesn't have. Whether that can be ported or not remains to be seen.

Do you think that detection software is outside the Gear VR service and the Oculus System Driver? I've got TB backups of both (and all other Oculus/Gear apps) and hoped to sideload them, then change build.prop. Of course, can't test any of this without root.
I've tried watching 3D SBS movies played via a standard player with the V20 in the Gear VR. You can focus, but the aspect ratio is off (stretched vertically) and parts of the video are off to the side. We'd need the Gear VR player for that to work.

That's above my pay grade but I think the Gear Service will have to be ported to the V20 for it to work. As some else said, you otherwise have Google Cardboard.
I still have my Note 4 which I was planning to dedicate to the VR. I have to get over a "network not available" issue.
Any updates on this? I got a new gear VR headset but sold my s7 edge and just got the LG V20, jw if there are any updates on if this works or not?
Thanks
Have you tried these things using the LG VR headset. I know its compatible with the V20. Maybe it can be used to run some Oculus software. I would LOVE that.
It works a little bit. Just use Google goggles app. Doesn't look crisp like it would a galaxy s7 edge/note 7

No I didn't yet.. From what I've heard, not many people like the LG VR headset because there are very limited apps right now.. Not sure of the validity on that, but I've also not really looked into it..

One plus 6t and Galaxy S3 frontier compatibility

Hey everyone I've noticed a lot of questions in forms concerning compatibility with the S3 frontier and the OnePlus 6t however a few months old. I currently have a Samsung phone that I want to change out to the OnePlus however I don't want to give up the functionality of the smartwatch in regards to Samsung pay etc. Is anyone using a non rooted OnePlus and the S3 frontier with full capabilities?
I have the g3 Frontier. Once I downloaded the Samsung software, everything works, including samsung pay.
One plus and s3
Awesome now is there anything that you can't do with the watch and a OnePlus 6t or does it have full functionality? did you download the Samsung pay app from the play store or did you have to find a special APK what. Also what about Samsung health?
