Weird little issue
I'm glad you started this, I'll post this here then. I got a Verizon v20 about 2 weeks ago. Whenever I dial a call, whether on the standard dialer , True Caller or one or two others that I tested, once it starts ringing the speaker immediately comes on. It's a quick fix (toggle the speaker off/if using bluetooth, toggle bluetooth on). I don't recall this happening the first few days. I've checked what I believe to be every possible setting on the phone and each of these dialer apps, and I can't find anything. I spoke to Verizon to ask if it is more likely an issue with the phone itself or a Nougat bug, and they have no clue. It's not a big deal, just very annoying. TIA...

I don't know, I don't own the device. But based on your description, seems to me like a buggy device. Report a bug. Many other issues have been captured like dialer freezing suddenly, speaker getting awfully loud and all.... It should be a software bug.

I've got a major issue that started out of the blue yesterday..when I dial and make a call it takes a good two to three seconds to even register call is made, as a matter of fact it doesn't ring anymore, it goes straight to dialer screen and shows this swipe to unlock call options thing and I can't get it to stop. I've formatted data, factory reset everything, flashed stock system img and it keeps coming back, I've Google searched it and others have this issue on other lg phones but no solution has ever been posted..hopefully someone can help me out because I really don't feel like relocking my bootloader, flashing stock recovery and going to a tmobile store over the next few days to try to exchange it just to get one with the unrootable update already loaded on..uggh..so frustrating..h918 version

Hey guys, can I buy T-Mobile lg v20 and being it to att without any issues?
It looks like band 17 is not supported on T-Mobile version and i read att uses that band exclusively. If that's the case any problem with LTE?
Thanks

I've been trying to get a Verizon v20 to run on T-Mobile. My Verizon moto z play has no problems. But the v20 either can get data to work and no voice or vice versa. If I get both working ,it only works a few minutes then the signal goes to a x and no signal at all. Did the apn stuff bit no luck. I remember had to root the verizon g2 to work this way with a certain Rom. Anyone been able to get it working?

It won't auto-connect if it detects low network bandwidth. Also, auto-connect won't work if the existing network password is changed or tampered with. Another case is that somebody might be blocking you from his/her network (unless it is your own network! LOL).

I am seeing a lot of great themes popping up for the Lg V20. Big thanks to all the designers. I am starting to research tutorials for how to creat my own theme. There is a tone of information out. I am not asking anyone to create a turorial for me but i was wondering if anyone could recommend one for me to check out that will work with nouget and the lg build in theme selector.

Other than LG app world......you can go to Google app world and search for LG home theme. Than you'll find the majority that works with the V20, rather than searching thru a bunch that wont work.
When I was looking for custom themes, I found out that they call LG V20 launcher the LG home.

Sprint's new emergency alert system on any 4.1 NS4G roms

I was playing around with some different aosp roms the other day and I thought since the new emergency alert system Sprint was so kind to give us in the 4.1.1 ota update is such a great new feature to have maybe I should try to get it to work on a rom other than the OTA. Well, it turns out it 'just works' by default!! The app will not install the traditional way, but if you copy it to /system/app and change permissions to rw-r--r-- it works! The menu shows up in system settings>wireless & networks more> cell broadcasts

I thought many people may find this useful. I haven't tested it on any other carrier' device or any other model other than nexus s 4g (d720)...I would assume it should work on all devices in the sprint network, though! Please report back with any success stories from other devices
For those wondering what it is, because I had no clue about this:
http://www.fema.gov/commercial-mobile-alert-system
FEMA wow, no way is this coming near my phone, eff that
YAY! Now I can be informed via Klaxon that rain sometimes causes flash floods. If you use this, keep your phone on mute or people in theaters and conference rooms will hate you. Personal embarrassing experience talking here.
I would be okay with it if you could shut off the alarm. Trust me, it's nothing like any other notifications else that exist on your phone. I want to know about Amber Alerts, and very severe weather events, but this appears to be all or nothing. Imagine the chaos if everyone had this on their phones and they all went off at once, which I assume must be the intent. Talk about shouting fire in a crowded theater. Not well thought out, but neither is FEMA.
for the record this was on an epic 4g touch, i assume the same behavior on anything else unless the federal govt is building device specific apps

did you not see the screenshots I posted?? There are toggles for different types of alerts. And you can turn notifications off, as well as test notifications. Also, if you don't like your alarm notification, just change it. We live in a world where rooted phones are possible and you can do these things It's as easy as swapping ogg files!
no, actually i did not, thank you for calling my attention to them. apparently pictures get cut out when i access xda from behind a firewall, literally looks like there's nothing there on pc, but tapatalk on my ns4g has them. Maybe they are getting it right, I will have to take another look at it. When I found it on my nonrooted e4gt, it looked nothing like this.

Great rom.
I tried playing around with it and for some reason it wont work.
Idk i really want to have this feature but for some reason i cant figure it out.
Lets just review.
I move the apk to /system/apps.
Then fix permissions to rw--r--r.
Reboot
Fix permissions in cwm.
Reboot check settings?
Is there something im missing?
Try accessing it from Messaging app. Hit settings.
If I can find some time this afternoon I will flash RBJ and see if I can figure out what's up
I will also look into it also but not for myself, lol. I hate the alerts.
This works on today's port off rasbeanjelly for ns4g by rustyjay. I used root explorer to move the apk to system/app, changed permissions to rw-r--r--, and rebooted. No need to go to cwm.

Awesome, thanks for this!
It shows the settings in messaging but doesn't show in wireless network settings where I can pick the different alerts.

I'm curious about the benefits of rooting these days. I use to flash custom ROM's back in the day of the original Motorola Droid, and then after a stint with an iPhone 4, then Verizon-adulterated Samsung phones, I'm finally back to a rootable phone with the Moto X Pure. I have experience with rooting but it's been quite a while, so here are my questions:
What's changed?
Is Xposed as necessary as it used to be?
Are custom ROM's as stable as stock?
Will Marshmallow render a lot of the benefits of root useless?
I've seen some people refute the benefits of rooting since android has evolved over the years. So I was hoping some of you would be able to chime in.
the moto x pure has a curved back. when set flat on a table, does the phone rock back and forth when you try to type on it?

A bit yes. Its not terrible, but by because the curve it will tip from side to side / up and down (this is without the bumper or any case on). With the bumper on, its about the same as without.
Does anybody know if it has video out?

so yes, it does? that's a shame. i wonder when manufacturers will stop overlooking this phone ruining flaw
I asked a while ago in the topic, but I never got a response.
I recall reading that the SD Card might need to be in some special format to use in some special way.
Can I have it as a straight fat32 formatted card so I can use it as straight storage and view it on computer normally?

Phone ruining FLAW?? How is it a flaw?
If you want a flat phone you have several options in the market.
That "flaw" is one of the things us Moto guys love.
-Funk
okay, how about these. I find I am REALLY missing the toggle switch for a "mute/vibrate" setting. I know you can hit the volume and STOP notifications, but I want a quick setting to move the phone to vibrate and still receive notifications. Any third party way? It's already burned me going in to a meeting when I first got the phone and having that insane ringtone go off. Scared the crap out of the people next to me. Thought the joint was haunted.
I didn't think I would miss wireless charging as much as I do, is there a third party solution? Is the back removable by someone (like me) of limited skills and ability? Also, I am digging the Moto notification screen (trial and error). If I am in a "trusted" place, (so it won't lock), I swipe up to access the notification(s)? right or left to dismiss? down to the lock screen? Or up is dial pad?
On Verizon, anyone have visual voicemail working? I keep getting an error.
so far I am liking the phone, I have the screen crackle, miss the HD calling from Verizon with the built in video (guess we'll never get that?). Thanks for the help

What does your APN look like? Go to Settings-more-cellular network settings-access point names then click on whatever is in there. Mine says

APN nxtgenphone

apn type default,mms,supl,hipri,fota
apn protocol ipv4
bearer unspecified
Also in the menu on the APN page you can try and reset to default option.
I have noticed that there is a new Messaging app icon. Is the app itself unique? And does someone mind posting an apk if possible?
Thanks
Is anyone else having problems taking pictures from their moto x via their moto 360 app? The app loads on my watch when I open the camera but pressing the shutter on the watch doesn't do anything. Any thoughts? For now I'll build a tasker profile to do this, but it would be nice if it would work how its intended to.

Yes it should, you just need to check which bands your carrier uses and check them against the available bands on the phone.

Possible Quality Control issues with ZTE Axon 7

Pros:
beautiful screen and overall a nice phone, got headphones with pre order. and am excited about the prospects of a new flagship phone.
Cons:
Camera stopped functioning today, it was delivered at 4:10pm July 27th, it is now 5:05am July 28th as i write this. Customer service is closed and i've already gone through wiping the cache, formatting and factory resetting the phone. removing my sim card and SD card.
formatting again, clearing the cache on the camera app
then resetting the phone and clearing the cache and reinstalling.
i even went so far as to stop google from recovering my downloads from the playstore to be on the safe side and insure that the phone was completely stock out of the box.
and i got "Unable to connect to camera,Camera has been disabled because of security policies or is being used by other apps" the phone and the flashlight are not functioning. and installing 3rd party camera apps doesn't fix the issue.
Will follow up if ZTE is able to give repair steps that don't result in mailing my phone back to newegg.
Other Thoughts:
Would not recommend to anyone at this current time, as this same issue plagued another phone of ZTE's called the ZTE max and seems to have followed to their newest flagship
if anyone has a fix for this sort of issue please let me know otherwise ill do a write up based on what ZTE provides to me later on today

Do you think it's possible that you revoked its permission to use the camera? I would check the app manager.
Other possible solutions I found:
* Turn off OK Google detection from any app
* If you can boot into a recovery mode, wipe the cache partition
* Turn off face detection smart lock
* Make sure camera shortcut on the lock screen is enabled
* Remove any Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account you might have setup

I haven't revoked permissions although i did check again. i formatted the phone a total of 6 times and had it bare bones. however when the camera doesn't work neither does the flashlight. so a tail tail sign in the past has been if both dont work. an RMA is needed. hopefully ZTE will be able to help sort this out so i can amend the post content to reflect their customer service.

I looked up the error message and it seems to have something to do with device policy. This app should be able to change the camera policy.

Let me know how that goes.
It didn't work but.
I hope its resolved relatively soon as well.. i wanted to post pictures so people knew i wasn't just slandering the phone or anything. i have tried different camera apps. but they dont work. nor does the Flashlight feature in the quick launch. i looked up old threads on similar issues and saw people doing things from disabling security certificates (all of them manually because the clear option was greyed out.) and i spent about 20 minutes doing that while on hold with newegg since ZTE was closed. hopefully this issue will be a fluke and it wont be the same with the second and third phone i have coming.... one tomorrow and one tuesday because that would be disheartening.

Gee, read the ZTE USA forum and it seems there are several random issues plaguing some users, and not small issues, hopefully software based and will be remedied with updates. I will do a wait and see approach before I order, I'm in Australia and will have to use a post shipping house, as not being released here, so quick if any warranty maybe problematic. Will want to make sure everything is honky Dory before committing to a purchase. Maybe back to opo3 if not resolved.

Did you get the problem camera/flashlight resolved?
Thank you
The only issue with this phone I've read about is the dust inside the camera lens. I have some particles there but I don't think it affects the picture quality yet.

And the broken OIS (incredibly common) and the lack of an antibricking measure in place and the screen dying because it didn't like your hand's humidity... ZTE replaces the phone with all of these problems luckily. But when they have stock.

I am having a problem getting my OP5 to work

IF someone could take time out of your busy schedules I would be most grateful and could make it up to you
I got the OP5. I used it one day, yesterday. Today I am sporadically able to get on the internet, most of the times not. I started getting a KEY icon in the status bar
I googled and searched to see it has something to do with an APN or VPN I don't know what they are, I am sorry
I tried to read how to do it but got intimidated on different ways, one manual one another way, on each site. Many ways
I tried to work it out with OnePlus Service. Their service has a lot to be deserved. The first guy didn't know what it was. The second was, I sent a screen shot, he said he'd talk to level 2 and call back
45 minutes later, I got an email saying "Thanks your issue has been solved" I tried to call back, to no avail. Closed
If anyone could walk me thru it, here, private messages, email I would be most grateful. I have lets say a few health issues and parents I need to reach, and have no land line
I don't want to return the phone.
Thank You
Eric

Are you in the US ?if so which network ATT or T Mobile ? have you installed the OS update that they pushed out today ? oh and the best way to contact OP support is via the CHAT app. you shouldn't have to monkey w/ the VPN settings. UPDATE: they are about to push out a 4.5.3 hotfix update.

Have you downloaded any battery saving applications,? Doze, etc.
I would start uninstalling 3rd party apps, starting with the most recent ones.
I am on Tmo in the US. I got an update yesterday but none today. Who are you with. Any problems. Do you think it is that APN problem?

I'm on T Mobile and have never had a problem w/ T Mobile and OnePlus (and I've owned EVERY model they have put out). You should not have to touch your APN settings at all. Currently your OP5 should be on Oxygen OS 4.5.2 and they are pushing out an update tomorrow (4.5.3) but I don't think either update has anything to do with your issues. I assume you have your T-mobile Sim card in slot #1 correct ... it will tell you that information under settings> SIM & NETWORK SETTINGS. Below is a screen shot from my OP3T, but the OP5 looks the same. Make sure the Mobile Data is turned on as shown. When all else fails....just do a factory reset and start over. Make sure you are somewhere that has WIFI if you have to do so, makes set up much easier. And again, I only ever have to go to this settings when setting up a new phone if I want to turn on VoLTE, all the other settings are factory set.

most probably a wrong vpn setting. Try gong to settings>more>vpn and delete any vpn listing if there are any
Jerry, Alan.....thank you. Jerry my settings are exactly as they are in your pic. I found that Lookout has web browser protection on and when I take it off, it works...sort of. I have used Lookout on many phones and this wasn't an issue. Many say Lookout and similar is not needed?
Well when I went to the VPN setting, a Lookout icon was there, I deleted it.
But my email is not working and I'm not sure how related. TypeApp I cannot set up my account and log in. I was able to log into K9 which I don't prefer, but regardless, I am not getting notifications.
Thanks a lot for your help. As I believe I stated in my post, I am well aware that when people volunteer to help they are taking from their personal time.

Lookout ? I haven't heard of that "lost my phone" app I'm YEARS, haha. Didn't know they were still around. Android has "lost my phone" built in now. Ya don't even have to turn it on now. As for "email" apps...I have always just used GMAIL app. Sounds like you are just having various app setting problems. If you mean actually HEARING notifications ... Make sure your notifications slider is not turned to the middle "do not disturb" setting. The slider of course is on the left side of the phone. It has 3 different positions.
If does look like app incompatibilities. I am able to get online uninstalled Lookout antivirus. I don't need one? T-Mobile has given us Pro for years

Samsung Galaxy A9-6 Help Needed

As'slamu Allekum (Peace to all of you)
I've recently bought Samsung Galaxy A9-6, it's totally genuine nothing have been altered, and after using a month or like so I've started getting that annoying screen, every time i receive a call or missed call it shows up saying caller ID, I've formated my cell once and it had gone now its back again and its hell of annoying,
things I've done
1-I never install apps out of play store
2- I never install any caller ID App (as it doesn't work in Pakistan yet)
3- I've formatted my cell and installed all apps (which i always had on all my Android devices but this problem never occurred)
4- There is no such Caller ID app in bloatwears or apps (in settings section)
5- when i click the links on that screen it takes me to a website page which is whosthat dot com
6- I've Googled it and it says DU caller ID (although I've never installed it)
Info about my cell
Samsung Galaxy A9-6
Model: SM-A9000
Software version: 6.0.1
Baseband Version: A9000ZHU1BQE1

Hey buddy I think I have solved it, it's a theory which is working till now, I had once visited TrueCaller online portal from my Chrome browser on my cell, although I had given consent for my Microsoft ID i think i had enabled some sort of notification thing or so, previously I had removed true caller web site in settings from my chrome, now again last night I formatted my cell and installed fewer apps but I haven't synchronized my chrome bookmarks and till now the cell is working fine, just a theory might be wrong but it has been 12 hours my cell is doing fine. test it and then let me know, please. I'll let you know if this theory fails.
thanks

I do not have this problem but I've experienced similar things in the past when you get very annoying adverts that prevent phone from sleeping whilst it's connected to a charger.
It usually come with an application. UC browser is very notorious for this. Turning off notifications from such apps could help.

Hi!
My mom met same problem at xiaomi redmi 3.
Solved it today, but have no garanties that it solved forever, but i hope.
I'm sure that it's connected with Caller DU, because if you press "private policy" in window after call, it opens page from DU caller's site.
Then i just install that f**in DU Caller, turn off all of it's features and then delet it and now i have no annoying popup messages.
just in case, sorry for my english

I had never installed any caller app on my phone still I started receiving those popups and in privacy policy, I read the email address, emailed them and luckily within few weeks they replied but was not sufficient as they didn't tell me the root cause neither the solution was helpful, so i checked all apps one by one and bingo, it was chrome, just didn't restore chrome bookmarks after factory reset and everything came okay
