Flash disabled - Greyed out and X through it... - LG V20 Questions & Answers

Subject line says it. Anyone else experiencing this? I can use a non-stock camera app and use the flash fine.

Do you have HDR on?

I may have. But since posting earlier today, I updated my phone to 10f. What I find now is that when in automatic, I can't turn it on. I find that interesting.

Go into settings (the gear icon) make sure hdr is set to auto and the flash function should return.
Its literally the only function that greys out the flash icon. I am on 10j if that matters.
If that doesn't work I'd clear the cache for the camera app and restart your phone. (App info > storage > clear cache)

This! I was having the same issue, and I would switch to Manual mode when I wanted to use the flash. I then Googled the issue and found someone mention the solution in a V10 forum somewhere.
*You can use the flash when HDR is in either Auto or Off, but you cannot use the flash (as it's grayed out) when HDR is On. Quick & easy solution!
SwiftKey'ed from my LG V20 via XDA Labs

Yup. HDR was on. That was the issue.
Thanks everyone...

In some countries no shutter sound is not avaliable in the app like here in Sweden.
Usually the camera sounds are stored in system/media/audio/ui and there you can delete or rename the ogg file to silence the camera.
But I think the sounds for this camera is incorporated into the camera apk itself, because I can't find them in system.
Tapatalked.
Can someone that has the option to silence the shuttersound post their LGCameraApp.apk & LGCameraApp.odex?
Thanks.

Here in Norway "no shutter sound" is not an option so I use tasker to turn silent mode on when the camera app is in foreground.
Just to add on this one:
As disabling the camera sound in (custom) camera apps didn't work I simply renamed the "camera_click.ogg" file in system/media/audio/ui and now I can enjoy a nice and silent camera
Damn can't delete sounds. Hmm

you need RW permissions. using root explorer is one way to accomplish this.

Yes I know that
The sounds don't appear in this folder. They are baked in the camera app itself.

hmm works for me. thats how i used to do it on my gnex too. however, i'm still trying to figure out how to disable/remove the sound for the focusing. it beeps when you "click to focus".

Did you do this on an LG G2?
I haven't rooted my phone yet, but it seems that other people aren't able to find this file.
Just tried the Mobile Hidden Camera app from the PlayStore.
Seems to be able to take pictures without sound but because it's a "Spy" app, I can't see what is within the frame before I take the picture and can't tell if the camera has finished focusing or not.
This has been the only success I've had and it's definitely far from a permanent solution...
I'll think I'll keep it for the few times where I may have to take a picture without sound.
Use Tasker
Set up a profile that when the camera app is open, silent mode is turned on.
Works nicely.

Sorry what's Tasker?
Do I have to root my phone to use it?
Does your camera sound turn off when you set the phone on silent without Tasker?
Setting my phone on silent/vibrate had no effect and using Camera Mute from Glen on XDA didn't help either since I think the sound file is built into the camera app.

Tasker is only the greatest app available in the play store. Not free, but totally worth the money.
Yes, my phone does NOT make a sound when it is set to silent. If yours does not, then Tasker may not be able to help.
On my D801 renaming camera_click.ogg doesn't do anything.
Setting the phone to silent does nothing too, I had used a custom app designed to emulate the Tasker command that others used. No avail.
This is incredibly annoying! I'm in Canada, there's no shutter law, don't understand why i can't disable it.

Same here lg - d801v11b videotron
i have the d802, even in silent mode the shutter sound is still being played.
i installed a third-party camera app (cameraMX) and guess what? no shutter sound. you can disable it in the app's menu.
same goes for camera zoom fx i can't hear a thing.
didn't try out more camera apps though. they're enough for me.
here is d way to remove camera shutter sound permanently(rooting required)
Hi folks..
Inorder to remove d camera shutter sounds u have to root your phone..
Once rooted install the root explorer app in it..
Then head to / > system > media > audio > ui folder..
Select the music files whose name has "camera" in it and delete them..
Thats all!
Note: I recommend u to take the backup of those files before deleting so that u can restore them whenever u want the sound back..
Hit "thanks" if I have helped you..!!!

Does Lightflow work on this device?

Hey everyone! Got my G2 today. Got it rooted in like 5 mins. Almost done setting it up. One thing I can not seem to make work is Lightflow. It's kinda weird I've done everything I normally do. It's set up the same way as my Nexus 4. LED is enabled. I've tried unchecking all the stock system LED'S etc. Stock works. I've Googled it already and it doesn't seem like any kind of known issue. Accessibility is turned on. Root enabled. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I love Lightflow.

Yes, it does work. However, it took a while for me to figure out the proper configuration. You must leave the G2's stock LED notifications enabled, but disable all the individual apps/notifications (incoming call, missed call, etc) except for the one labeled "Downloaded apps" (make sure that one is enabled/ticked).
In Lightflow's settings, have "root mode", and "Run in foreground" enabled. Seems that "Nexus 5 force LED reset" is enabled by default, so I left that alone. "Reduce wake" is optional...seems to work either way.
For some apps to work properly (Like Facebook Messenger) you must have "Accessibility Services" enabled for Lightflow as well.
I think that should do it.

This seems reasonable enough. The only question I have is that I don’t see a "downloaded apps" option under the LED settings "see screenshot" is it located somewhere else?

Smart Settings on Verizon

I looked for smart settings on my Verizon unit and couldn't find it. Looks like Verizon removed it.
Here is how to get it back.
Download QuickShortcutmaker from the market
Open it and scroll down to smart settings.
Open the smart settings dropdown.
Now press the first smart settings drop down.
This will create a icon on your home screen.
That's it.
Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk
Awesome! Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for this suggestion. Most Smart Settings cannot be used without the My Places feature active, and that has apparently been disabled by Verizon as well. Any workaround suggestions?
Perhaps try Llama? It can be found in the Play Store
I would be very interested if one of the tmobile phone owners have an apk of my places, and could possibly post it.
Sent from my VS995 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Attached are the APKs. One of the app itself, the other is the engine. Not sure if you need the engine or not though.
Appreciate you posting that, unfortunately it said that they are corrupted. Both files are only a handful of kilobytes each which cant be correct

Those were pulled with titanium backup. Not exactly sure where it is in the system files for a direct pull.

I recommend MacroDroid. Much better than Smart Settings. Smart Settings is terrible by comparison. Verizon did you a favor.

No, unfortunately Verizon verified that they did indeed REMOVE My places functionality from their version, so no it will not auto-locate your home location after 5 days, either.
IMO, they are trying to force you to use more data. Most people turn their wifi off when they leave, and turn it back on when they come home - Smart setting will do just that. So, why would Big Red not want you to have it? Because when you have to do it manually, you'll forget to turn it back on when you get home... and when you do that, you'll use more data. my *theory*.

Or people will just leave WiFi on...because it doesn't use that much battery when not in use. This isn't a conspiracy to get people to use more data. Sounds like carriers have to pay for certain features on phones and Verizon didn't want to cash out for some less useful features. Plenty of other apps out there that can turn your WiFi on and off automatically.

Hmmm... most people I know turn it off, but to each his own. But when that is intentionally disabled along with FM radio, along with Google In Apps Search shortcut (by which you must do an internet search first before just searching for something on your phone...) - a pattern seems to be emerging... but let's give Big Red the benefit of the doubt, right? Let's forget about the lawsuit about them asking Blackberry to disable bluetooth so you couldn't transfer files, or the similar lawsuit about the same kind of thing with Motorola...
No... Nothing to see here... Move along, people, move along...
Any luck with this?

Phone won't go into deep sleep.

Just got the update to nougat earlier this week and was hoping it would solve the high android system drain but i've noticed all these wake locks and honestly i'm not familiar with wake locks so if anyone can help me out here. My phone wont go into deep sleep.

Oh I've already tried that. I also cleared my cache from recovery and from the settings
For battery drain there are few known culprits
1. Disable chrome
2. Disable Gear vr service if you don't use.
3. Disable all other bloatware
4. Disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning
5. Disable Android and Google (both) report diagnostic report from setting
6. Location to battery saving or off.
7. Smart features off.
I'm sure excess drain will go irrespective of what wld shows.

Have the chrome that came pre-loaded disabled but I use chrome dev. Disabled gear vr. I kept other bloat enabled that's under the hood, heard if you disable some of that stuff it could cause a bigger drain. Diagnostic report is off, location is on battery saving, I use smart stay and smart alert, have smart capture off.

Apps Not Running at Boot

Hey guys, i have a small issue here with my apps.
Some of the apps like Tasker and Gravity Screen do not auto start on boot since i rooted my op5, i have selected them to run at boot.
My profiles on Tasker don't switch until i turn the screen on, even some of the apps like TB which i run on schedules during the night are not working.
Its like when my screen is off, all background activities stop, however WhatsApp and similar apps are working fine.
Could anyone pls guide me to a possible solution.
I know this is a strange request since mostly people ask how to stop the background activity, I'm asking the exact opposite.
Appreciate your help.

You don't need to turn off battery optimizations for those apps. Just simply turn off OnePlus's "Advanced optimisation" feature and it should work without turning off the battery optimizations for those apps.
You can do that by going to Settings -> Battery -> Battery optimisation -> Three dot menu (⋮) -> Advanced optimisation -> Turn off.
You can also pinned these apps in recent apps section.

I am not sure about this specific app, but some apps don't work correctly with Oreo yet. Try to check if it is compatible.
I personally use Betterbatterystats and haven't had issues yet.
