@ puppykickr,
I hope I'm not the puppy!

I haven't used the V20 in about a year. I upgraded to the V40 because the usb-c port was not working any more, and the Play Store was glitching to the point where it was unusable, so I had no way to get new software or update existing.

I was having the same problem with the usb-c port of the v40, and tried cleaning it out. It worked! So I did the same with the V20, and that works now as well, so the V20 is already looking like a viable 2d phone for secondary purposes.

Firing the V20 up for the first time in a year?, it seems the Play Store is working again, no idea why. I just ordered a wireless charging receiver for it, so the V20 is looking very attractive as a backup phone.

Does it matter why I want the update to 8? You not only get the enhanced features, but also a lot of security updates, which would be reason enough, but I also want whatever goodness they've baked into new versions of Android. I've had Android phones since 2.7 Gingerbread and my V40 is running 10. Personally, I find lots of valuable changes besides new features, including tweaking the OS for more speed and better battery life. Some apps are worst off for updates, but I've never had that experience with the Android OS updates.

I don't even know if this is possible. AFAIK, the only resource for Android 8 that is guaranteed to work with my LG-H910 model of the V20 is coming from AT&T. I imagine there are other custom ROMs (if I'm naming that correctly), and would be more inclined to risk it with a secondary phone like my V20, esp since I'm not that tech savvy or inclined and would be up shit creek without a paddle if my V40 bricked on me. (speaking of which, I see Android 11 is supposed to work on the V40, but T-Mo hasn't done the work. I'd be very keen on that).

Thanks for weighing in.

like i said, there are others that might work. try them and let us know which one you like better.

Perhaps an app like this might work for you.

There are others to try as well.

Stay strong buddy! Life is definitely hard due to the pandemic. But we'll get over it soon — I am hoping!

I was not getting notifications for calls or messages even though every checkbox was on.

I could see the text message notification icon blink for a second, phone call was not even doing that.

Solution:
Settings/Apps
Click 3-dot setting menu (upper right corner) and select:
Special Access
This opens another menu that lists types of phone controls. I selected Notification Access.

It is here that I was able to look uncheck apps that were taking over my notifications. The culprit was Clean Master (I use it to clear memory and cool the CPU). Once I unchecked it, I started getting notifications back.

Anyway, hope this helps. Maybe you know the menu where I found it. Very frustrating. It started on my older phone and the setting carried over to new phone so glad I at least got it working.

Note: I went into other Special Access control menus like Change System Settings and made sure certain apps didn't have control. This is much easier than going through each app.

I created a channel for your game. Best of luck and thanks for sharing.

We can do anything with software besides move physical objects without intervention. Synchronization of audio phasing is just not perfected yet. It can be done across any version of Bluetooth devices with a latency output app. Any brand, any model as long as you are able to stream from any generic built in Bluetooth output (without special apps for output). Think about it, we are only changing the phase of 1 audio channel output to synchronize. It is sad this day in age that there is nothing available to do exactly that. Since a mic is built in we should be also able to automatically synchronize by using an app. This is for an immediate position of where the app is used. I would agree if we were speaking of different size speakers and acoustics of a room and the synchronization properties, but for a basic phase delay app this should have been available for at least 3 years now....Will the real software developers please stand up. lol

Hi Unforgiven. I got my answer on another forum. I had to remove FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK when I started the Activity.

AFWall+ will do the trick.

Possibly 'precise volume control' app. I think it allows you to create profiles (very detailed) then use tasker to change profiles of the app at correct times.

Can I start a station from my phone? Would I make money? I bought thousands of tracks. Paid for them. Surely I can share them.

You can probably start a podcast from your phone. .

i am trying to use the lgup to reflash my phone. i cannot get past the google verification page(forgot my password and google locked my account. does anybody know of a way to wipe my phone so I don't have to go through the google verification and start fresh?

did you do a hard reset? if you did then you have tripped FRP (Factory Reset Protection) in which you will need the account info that was most recently used before the reset. unfortunately, AF frowns upon discussing how bypass FRP.

the simplest way to reset your phone without tripping frp is to do a factory reset. this is done from your phone's settings.

maybe try these suggestions from google

In general it's best to avoid purchasing a device not intended for your home market, particularly because it will likely not have the correct radio bands (this is a hardware issue that cannot be fixed) but also because there may be other issues with compatibility and there will almost certainly be zero warranty.
That said if you are seriously considering such a purchase here is a good site where you can check to see if it will at least work on your network-

You won't see the whole screen. I did it with a PocketPC and I had to drag around a lot to see the whole homescreen.

Phone screens are to small for full emulation.

I have an app which downloads simple text files from my website using HTTPS. I have been testing it on emulators for every version from API18 onwards, and on real devices running API18 and API28. It works fine for API21 and above, but for API 18 and API19 it fails - the download just hangs.

The app uses DownloadManager, but I have also tried some code using HttpsURLConnection, with the same result.

I have read some old stuff that seems to talk about problems with HTTPS on old Android versions but it wasn't clear what the issues were.

Can anyone help a novice developer to understand the problem, and tell me how to download using HTTPS on Android version API19 and older?

these young ladies are badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think anyone makes those anymore @Milo Williamson. The smallest I could find was 32".

No i didnt try it . Will it help if do?

Regular dongles can't do both at the same time, you need a special device for that.

I found this company with several USB and Ethernet adapters that claim to be able to charge a device and provide a wired internet connection, but they are expensive and only lists some tablets as compatible.
