LG V30 - round blue icon with circle around stick body

Hadron
Where is the shortcut? If it's on your desktop the usual way is to press and hold until either a menu comes up or you can drag it off the screen (usually to a bin at the top) - precisely how depends on the launcher, and I've never used an LG so don't know their interface.

If you can't remove it (but can remove other icons) that may mean that they have decided it's so important that you don't get a say, like Google do with their search bar and clock widget. In that case the solution is to install a different launcher and use that instead.

If it's somewhere else you'll have to provide more information. Shortcuts in the notification area can usually be edited, but you usually need to pull the slide down all of the way and then either look for an edit button or a context menu (3 dots), again depending on the manufacturer (as they all change the software to some extent).

[SOLVED] Alarm stopped sounding

Unforgiven
MoodyBlues said:
Never mind! Other sounds stopped working, too, like the clicking sound I have set when I'm typing, so I pulled an old trick I learned from window$ users: reboot! Problem solved. Thanks anyway! :D

In an Army troubleshooting training thing they taught us about the LCU (Lowest Cost Unit). First troubleshooting questions were "Is it plugged in" and "Did you reboot it?" :p

Glad you are all sorted.

Rooting Blu studio phones

ocnbrze
yep i just checked over at https://forum.xda-developers.com/ and there are no threads for your phone. xda is the place to go for all things root. this means that there is no community of devs for your phone.

just remember no devs=no fun

even if you can root the phone, there are no devs to develop a custom recovery. a custom recovery is a very important tool for root users and without one, i would highly NOT recommend that you root the phone.

if you plan on rooting a phone, do your research first over at xda to see if there is a community for that specific phone.

i think it might be carrier dependent as i do not have this option with verizon. i think att is the same thing.

Yeah, it looks like another example of service providers messing with the software. Just pure control freakery, corporations deciding they know what you need better than you do. US carriers seem to be the worst on the planet for this too.

One reason I never buy carrier handsets. And in answer to the question addressed to me, no, I doubt that paying off the phone will make any difference.

Occasional glitch

markdoc
I had a strange occurrence happen a few times and I thought it was me. I didn't hear my phone ring, but a spam blocker app said I missed a phone call. How could I miss a call when my phone didn't ring. When I checked my recent call list, they were on the list, the calls that didn't ring. A few days ago I found 3 or 4 articles describing exactly what happened to me. Its a reported glitch on the Pixel 6 Pro. Unfortunately, the last time I checked, Google hasn't stated when a fix was being released. So if it happens to you, its your phone and not you. (◉‿◠)

Orbic Maui wiht Straight Talk Sim - Your phone needs a SIM card

puppykickr
Why would you order a Verizon SIM when you are a Straight Talk customer?

None of this makes any sense whatsoever.

Gee, I tried to use an outdated device that is not from my chosen provider, and then put in a different SIM.
It won't work, but I don't know why.

So I bought another phone that is not from my carrier, and put in a SIM not designed for it and it still won't work.

I just cannot figure out what went wrong, but I will gladly spit on anyone trying to point out the obvious.

Get text off a broken phone and put on new phone

I have an LG Stylo 6 that I demolished the screen on. It still turns on and I was able to borrow another Stylo 6 to navigate to allow transfers so it would pull up when I plugged it into the pc. I tried to do debugging the same way but it was too many steps for this half working zero visibility phone. I use my old text heavily for work. I really need them on my new phone. I figured I could get them off phone to computer and then switch. It seems there is only a free option for samsung, not lg. My new phone is a Samsung A52. There are paid apps but I do not even think they would do what I need so I hate to try. It seems like this would not be that difficult but it is. I tried the samsung switch. The one on my computer needed updated which did not work so I uninstalled it. Then I added all that was left in the world to add (similar) which was samsung mobile switch and it did not work either. I tried droidkit, dr fone, data recovery, and a couple more that I forgot the name of.

What is so frustrating is that my text have always transferred over via google account but did not this time. Neither did my image gallery (only google photos which ( do not even use). So I lost my neatly organized gallery folders of thousands of pictures. And my text did not transfer. Some stuff did transfer. I do not know if I turned a setting off the phone by accident at some point or what. I did try to find an option that would allow me to add that setting for all devices and maybe it would then back them up. I couldn't even find a setting to save text on one device, much less 2. Asking google did not help either. The text where on the text app that automatically came on the phone which I assume was LG messages or maybe just a standard on most droids. It was not on google messages or whatsapp. Also I did not have google chat selected (I heard it saves them). I have ran out of options and my job is a nightmare. Any ideas or not to difficult ways to do this?

If you're referring to SMS text messages, "SMS Backup and Restore" is a great app to do it
