ATT advanced messaging - LG V20 Questions & Answers

So when i first got the v20 i was having many issues with this. Called att and they said because it was only on beta to turn it off. I turned it back on a few days ago (not to let me knos when they read tho) and all seems fine. Anyone else with issues? Or something i should know? Thanks!

Im on Tmob and had issues on a few occasions as well, 1 app I confirmed broke Adv Messenger twice for me. Both required a factory reset (once not rooted,once rooted)
Today I updated (I don't allow any updates on any app so it was easy to spot what I did) LG SmartWorld to peek at themes..it was my 1st time ever opening it and a few minutes later my Adv Messenger broke again (after weeks & 2000 successful text from the 2 factory reset). This time I had TWRP backup and did a simple restore to fix it.
This is just a heads up that it could be an app thats breaking it. If it hasnt been tried, go for a factory reset* and hopefully you have a LG Backup or TWRP (if rooted) that was created when things were peachy to make the restart easier.
*dont do a factory reset from inside Android if rooted, only from inside TWRP.

Market Downloads Quit Working

I apologize ahead of time if there is a thread on this, I couldn't find one off hand.
Just installed Fresh 1.1 on a friends Hero, and installed Task Panel. I ignored any system apps from auto kill, but downloads quit working after a while. I had this happen once when I first got mine rooted, but don't remember what it was, any droidians know the fix?
Uninstall task killer
Sign into Gtalk
toggle wifi if you have it on.
I have this problems at times. The easiest fix is to go to Disable and then Enabled Backgroud Data. If that doesn't work, then just turn your phone off and back on.
Found this, but there was no solid response with how succesful it was...

Download a free app (anything works) it should now download without a problem (mine did)
Now boot back into recovery and restore your most recent backup.
Reboot and now market seems to work (well atleast for me it did)
Now this happened cuz i almost bricked my phone trying to get the market to work in the 2.1 ROM I am not sure if this will fix your issue but it is worth a try as it fixed my market problems.
By the way mine would load but the apps would hang at Starting Download and would never pass that.
I found out the hard way that Google talk and the market downloads are tied together.

What to do to reset my phone - newb question

OK, I've been having miscellaneous and very annoying problems with my phone ever since I updated to 2.2 OTA (I wasn't rooted before, I am now as of just a few days ago, and still running stock 2.2), so I want to wipe the phone to get it back to "factory" 2.2 and start over. I've already backed up my installed apps using Titanium, and I also installed AppBrain, so it should (if I understood the product description correctly) be able to download any non-purchased apps as well.
My question is, should I just do a Factory Data Reset (settings, privacy, factory data reset), or should I do something else in place of or in addition to that?
Ok if you have not done any flashing of any roms then I would unroot via however you rooted and do a full data cache wipe and factory reset ....if you have flashed roms or just want to be safe you can always reflash the sbf using these links and instructions

Thanks, I actually just bit the bullet earlier today and did a factory reset. Some of my widgets didn't reload correctly for some reason, so it took me a while to try to remember what each of them actually were...but other than that, after I re-rooted and restored everything via Titanium Backup, it seems to be working OK. Hopefully the various problems I was having before the reset won't come back!
Well since most of your problems were more than likely 2.2 related then they may come back but let's hope not .....maybe you should look into a good asop rom or.some of the others and you will more than likely experience far less problems if you go with a nicely built rom

How to troubleshoot logs of a bootloop failure

I've had my Note 4 for a while and after a few Lollipop update incidents I finally after a lot of hesitation decided to root my phone (with the TWRP bootloader) and disable the update notifier. Since then, I've always stuck to the latest stock version of KitKat 4.4.4.
Since I've rooted my phone, I made the following modifications that require root priviliges: I installed XPrivacy mod, YouTube AdAway mod, NoSafeVolumeWarning mod, PlayPermissionsExposed mod, and CrappaLinks mod for the Xposed framework. I also installed Titanium backup to freeze/uninstall the updater and AdAway. After XPosed was installed I had to change a line in /system/build.prop to 'ro.securestorage.support=false' to make 'S Health' work again. I did that with the 'FX' app.
That's it, I had made no more modifications and the phone seemed to work quite well for a month or so.
Two days ago I decided to try out Instagram, I've been quite wary with social apps but figured Instagram shouldn't hurt and everything was fine. Then I installed a bunch of dating apps, I started with Match.com and Tinder. Tinder didn't work because it required FB and Match didn't work because it refused to, probably because of denied permissions with XPrivacy so I gave up on them and uninstalled them.
But I also installed OkCupid and Motesplatsen and enjoyed playing around with these apps. They didn't seem to interfere with XPrivacy and worked rather fine. Motesplatsen was rather intense with sending me notifications of girls who watched my profile and sent me (rather strange) messages whereas OkCupid was rather calm.
Then something strange happened.
Yesterday I started noticing that the battery was draining considerably faster than normal during normal day. It was almost empty whereas it usually is half full after a full day, I also noticed that the phone was unusually warm. I forgot to put it on the charger and woke up today with a dead phone. I put it on charge and after about an hour the battery was full again.
When I tried to turn on the phone it was stuck on boot loop. I first tried disabling XPosed by "touch /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/disabled" using the 'terminal' tool in the TWRP bootloader. It didn't help. I tried flushing the cache/dalvik cache but it didn't work either. Then I did a total factory reset, but that didn't work. I noticed that during boot, the phone froze so hard that it doesn't even respond to button pushes. I had to take out the battery to reboot (that's one reason why I never will buy S6).
So then I decided to flash the phone with stock KitKat once again using Odin and that finally restored the phone.
Now, here's one of my questions, how can things go so bad with a phone that not even a factory reset will fix it? We're talking stock firmware here, albeit it is rooted.
What boot logs could be worth looking into when such a thing occurs and what is the easiest way to extract them? The terminal tool in the bootloader seems promising, plus I saw a 'copy log to SD' option which I neglected this time.
I'm puzzled, does anyone know what happened? I made no root modifications in the process of installing these apps and they don't advertise themselves as needing root privileges. How can a seemingly inconspicuous app directly from Google play **** a phone up like that?

[OT]Got official ota marshmallow (didn't captured)!!!

Yesterday I got official M ota on my Moto G 2 Lte (Xt 1078 - Brazil)!
Just updated and everything was ok, no reset was needed.
Some tips:
- Can't activate System Ui Tuner:
In the developer options I turned off animations. Just restored the default option (1x) in all 3 animations, restarted
the device and voila, I could activate the System Ui Tuner (holding the cog icon). After that, disable the animations
again did no mess.
- Igo stopped working:
Just uninstalled and reinstalled the app (without delete the files), and it's working again.
- Greenify stopped showing black screen while hibernating apps (screen flickering):
Needed to give it permission to overlap other apps (in Settings > Applications > Advanced (cog wheel))
- Smart unlocker stopped working:
Works on the "Universal version"
A factory reset is always a good thing when you do a major version update, and reading "Just uninstalled and reinstalled the app (without delete the files???), and it's working again" lead me to think a factory reset should fix all your problems. Sad thing you can't backup your appdata or you will end in the same situation, not sure but mostly possible.

But the only problem I had was the app Smart Unlock that isn't working in 6.0, I found the solution.... everything else is fine.
Factory reset is a last resort, because if I do it my bank app will require an activation in the bank, and I don't want to go there...

For banking app, Take app+data backup using
Titanium (if rooted)
Helium (even without root)

Thanks for the advice, but my device isn't rooted and the Helium backup doesn't works for my bank (it has a #@$ seed for code generation, just Titanium can backup it, but I didn't rooted it).
I won't worry about it, because didn't reset it and it's working flawlessly....

Question (Solved!) My Phone(1) won't auto rotate. Help

Tried toggling the switch not helping. Reboot also didn't solve. Anyone have any idea how to fix?
Update:
Ok. After my 2nd factory reset, auto rotate is back working!
What changes? First time setting up phone(1) and after 1st factory reset; i went with restore from old phone.
2nd factory i decided tp setup new and not restoring any data or config from recent back-up from old phone.
My old phone is a Pixel 6 Pro btw if it matters. I noticed by restoring from old phone, the glyph switch on notification quick panel is not there, but by setting up anew without restoring, it is there.
Did you try to do factory reset? That's the last step before writting to support i think (in this case)
Manually make it go landscape i.e in YouTube will rotate it, and move back the phone to portrait will rotate back the display.
But from portrait to landscape won't auto rotate. I guess I really need to factory reset it. I'll update again the outcome

I'm from Malaysia. So VoLTE/5G restrictions were the issue.
Yeah I know I can root which I did or install Hentai OS ROM and relock bootloader but I'm too old to still manually flash update using PC every month. Haha
