I don't think they ever released Android 5 for that model.

In a nutshell, my root was never intended to be used on any update build other than B20. Any newer update make the system buggy. If you want the update, you will need to abandon root.

I ran the BAT file for aboot-install now when I press vol down + pwr it says it wants to factory reset, there isn't any way into recovery mode now? I try to let it boot but it sticks at LG screen and never boots. How can I fix this? It doesn't seem there is any way into recovery anymore. If I say yes factory reset, then it launches TWRP and resets, but it doesn't let me stay in TWRP it just reboots the phone. I'd like to restore my nandroid but I don't know how to get into recovery now

Is that update Google's August patch? That screen cap shows the 'Applied' date, today, but it doesn't state just which update was actually installed. Verizon's site indicates the last patch it released for the V40 was June:

It was the August Security update. I read about it in my Google search for LG V40. I tapped "check for new system updates" on my phone and Viola. Totally on the level, no special downloads.

Hello to all,

I've been, for several days in different sites, looking for a way to monitor when a network change occurs without success so far. This is show with a Toast message when the phone changes from 2G to 3G, 3G to LTE and vice versa.

I found that is needed to use TelephonyManager, Connectivity Manager and Broadcast Receiver.

So far I have the below code that shows the changes when phone is in WiFi, without connection or mobile data, but once is in status "Mobile data" is not reporting the changes between 2G, 3G, LTE anymore.

Is there a way to detect in the moment that occurs the mobile network type changes?

This is a Utility class code that I have so far working for android 6.


Thanks for any help.

Nice one! Thanks everybody for the help.

Hello Brian566. Saw your response about finding sent e-mails etc which helped Orlando. I have the same problem but don't know where to find phone message logs. Can you help please

I think your assumption that all seniors have smartphones (and know how to use them) isn't realistic.
... plus it's a 'convenient' bias to ignore all the people who just don't even own a mobile phone. That can include a really wide range of the population -- could be a funding issue, could be a matter where some intentionally opt not to tie their lives around them. But whatever the case, if this museum bases its admission on a) owning a smartphone and b) having to allow personal contact info to leak out of their phones, that will be something of a drastic filter on attendees. Personally if encountered this kind of situation, I'd just turn around and go elsewhere as I'd find A to be puzzling but B to be a no-deal issue.
Anyway, that legibility issue is a major stumbling block. I think using something like a tablet is the next best option though. It's not perfect solution but there isn't one, there a just too many facets to people in general. What about having volunteers or interns manually type in attendee contact info at the entrance(s)?

Has this problem been happening on a long-term basis or did it just start happening recently? Have of you just restarted your A20? That alone is will fix any number of glitchy problems.

If it's been a long-term problem, try installing this 'Glasswire Data Usage Monitor' app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glasswire.android&hl=en_US
and use it to track down just which app/service is uploading so much data.

Do you have anything like the Google Music app set up to upload your music library into your online Google account? Or a BitTorrent app?

Yes I ran through my Downloads folder, looked through Chrome downloads as well just to make sure and I didn't find a thing strange or unusual. I cleared Chrome downloads to be sure and any Downloads device folder items I deemed unnecessary. Unfortunately, this hasn't resolved the issue so far.

Maybe I should just back everything up and go full factory reset? I haven't been using this new device for long so I should be able to get everything restored fairly quickly.

Not sure if we're just referring to the same thing using different terminology or if it's just a matter where you're averse to doing maintenance tasks in you're Settings menu. Deleting unwanted files in folders is not what I suggested previously (that's the result of the problem, not fixing the problem), I still think it's a matter of cleaning up the Downloads app itself, it could also be a matter of looking into the Chrome browser app, or it might indeed be tied to the Youtube app, and then see if that makes any difference. If you can solve things by addressing just the actual source of the problem, it might not require trying something more dramatic as a Factory Reset. There's obviously some kind of glitch that's prompting that file to keep being downloaded. Try going into the Settings >> Apps menu and use 'Clear data' on the Downloads app first. If that file keeps automatically downloading, then do the same on the Chrome app (note that using Clear data will wipe settings and config files for the app, although if you have your Chrome browser app set up to sync with your online Google account it will just get restored once you log in again). If the problem is still occurring, do this on the the Youtube app.

Yes sorry, it's PIE, not Oreo (I get confused with these stupid desert names of OS systems).

Ok good, it does seem draining the battery to 40% or lower can lessen the life span of it, so I'm still confused why so many sites and forums still suggest that, but it could be that it's just misinformation and it then in turn gets spread around.

I'll just leave that alone and not bother with draining the batter then and just deal with the issue in hopes that somehow it gets fixed in a newer update.

The last thing I want is to do a factory reset. I've customized so many things that took a long time (most of which I've already forgotten) and wouldn't want to have to start from scratch as I did last year when I upgraded from a Blackberry 9360 to the S9 (you can tell how overwhelming that was). In fact I'm still not sure about 80% of this phone so don't want to add more issues with the reset. My friend actually did that and she said it caused her more pain than the drain was and ended up not noticing any difference. So there's that risk too...

That does not work. I´m trying to get in touch with sigmakey so that they explain to me how to install huawei usb com 1.0 driver. its the last step to get that above software working

I'm not sure about your device, but try this as this is for most Samsung devices, if your device has that feature

Here is his app

[Game][Free][4.0.3+]Earth in Danger - A completely original physical action game

Sorry, got it a bit misspelled ..

my mum took away my phone and changed the password, i have some... things that i would never want her to see. last time this happend i just deleted the password and got super suspicisous. i need a way to get on without getting rid of the passcode. thanks to all!

But as far as I know, we can get into a locked Android phone without password, but without intact, impossible, unless you can get one phone password recovery tool to get back the password. Or, you can try Eelphone Android Unlock to remove Android phone screen lock, and reset one new password for it???May not good idea.

my s8 plus did the same exact thing when i put a tmobile sim in it. Its a Verizon phone that i have on att straight talk. i put a tmo sim in and now i get the tmo logo even when my att sim is in it. Weird.

Please suggest me any app by that i can fill my Indian Visa Application form.

Today I had the same app open numerous times and noticed the screen went gray. So I just hit the back button on my phone (LG v30+) and it disappears going back to my game. Since it was the only app I was using throughout the day I just figured the app was having issues. Later when switching between messenger and that same app I notice an app on my list called Stories is open, with a gray screen. Then I notice this apps icon was that of the app 'coin flip free'. This happened a few more times throughout the night. I deleted coin flip free. Sure enough as you'll see in the file I'm sharing, it isn't done happening. This time using Facebook as the name, as Facebook is loaded. Can anyone tell me if they've heard of this happening or why its happening? I've seen no reviews of the app with this issue other than my own but, will continue to scroll through them. In the meantime I'd appreciate any help.

Side note. The fact it shows I'm typing this in Gmail is unrelated. That's due to me going straight to writing this after clicking confirmation.

Thanks in advance!

Simple do like an app uninstallation disk cleaning up , I use SD Maid and sometimes use CCleaner. It should help out with the problem.

Since the update the screen does not go black yay.

I do owe a record company, started oh around thirteen years ago, a little hush hush project that not even the internet, will ever discover that, we make our own music, all the proceeds goes to charity Make A Wish, of where we make them smile by having private parties with our band, we do have around oh 30 lps on hold, we will get to them...

My ultimate dream job would be an independent writer company call it "Penny and Ink" for those who, are independent writers around my area that can come up ,and just chill with me, and have a nice atomsphere to it, to whatever music they want to bring, to give them ideas. So we can have a building sort of near by at the heart of town, and so whom does not have access to public transportation can just walk home, that is pretty close by the interstate, to give them ideas - I will have the center focus around my huge monster called "eyes of the machine" - That has focused on the play particale of people struggling with PSTD, and the horror of war itself while fighting off different nightmares. I have started it off as like a tribute to fallen war heroes around oh twenty years ago or so, and just spin it off in different books..
And print them all off a copy whenever the need for them to read itself.
But they can do whatever they ever wanted...

Just no more food serivces - had my neck and soul twisted to an indie place also for the same lenghtwire as "eyes of the machine"...

Welcome to Android Forums, Lilyflynn!

Is it strictly the black heart you're referring to? Not the red...thing underneath?

Is this a screenshot from someone else's device, or is it yours? If this is on your device, pulling down on the notification should indicate what app it's from.

Something similar happens on my phone and it is very annoying. So far not able to fix it with the recommended actions. Hope you get this resolved.

Think I figured it out. Go to app. manager, Samsung internet, uninstall all previous updates, wipe app. data, restart phone. I did this and so far it is working. No more bit.ly or other wierd pages loading on their own. Hope this helps.
