Are you sure the port is worn out, as opposed to just getting pocket lint in it which stops the cable engaging fully? Maybe try cleaning it carefully with a fine probe (e.g. a pin, but be careful to keep away from the contacts).

Personally I'd not attempt this. If you've genuinely managed to wear out the port in one year that suggests that LG used a very shoddy part, and so it's unlikely that any replacement will be as bad. But if you really want to you'll need to know what to do with the rest of the USB-C port's contacts: USB-C has 12 (pairs of) contacts, while microUSB has 5, and I don't know whether you can just leave the rest floating. I found a discussion of fitting a USB-C connector to a USB-A device here, but that's the opposite way round to what you want, and I'd think it's the easier one as the device doesn't have the extra lines.

Yes it's worn out. I blew on it and tried it again and its worn out.

I'm just getting tired of trying to keep the cord in.

But, this isn't my only option. I seen that I can add wireless charging but since my port is worn, I might just get a new port and then add the wireless charging so I won't have to keep plugging a cord in the port.

Hi. My LG G4 speech to text feature just stopped working. The microphone icon is still there, but when i attempt to use it, the 'tap to speak' screen pops up as in the past but now it says 'try again'. I took in in to my T-Mobile store; they confirmed all software is up to date. they are stumped it seems. Said maybe the software no longer supports that function...doesn't sound right to me. Any suggestions??

I've no experience of 3 (my son uses them, but I never have), but this sounds plain silly. I'd be tempted to try escalating, ask to speak to supervisors, or customer complaints about the poor service, maybe tell them that you are not getting the service you are paying for and consider their inability to remove restrictions you never asked for to be a breach of contract - I'm no expert in this stuff, just thinking what might get their attention. Telling them how many times you've been told it will be fixed, if necessary taking it to the media (it's amazing how many intractable customer services problems get solved when they get a phone call from say The Guardian rather than a paying customer, i.e. when it might be about to cost them other business through bad publicity).

But what has changing your browser got to do with the "my 3" app? Surely you can use any browser you like, and change the default browser just by clearing the defaults for the current one, waiting until something opens a web link then telling it which browser you want to use instead?

This happened to me on a Samsung Galaxy S8Plus (running Pie) yesterday, after having installed a recent security update on Friday. I tried making calls but they never connected, or so I thought when I abandoned the calls. What happened this morning is that I tried dialing *611 to get tech support, but seemingly it failed so I put the phone down. Apparently the call did connect without my knowing it and VZW support got the call, the CSR listened to background noise and decided to call me back to see if something was wrong or if it was a buttdial.
So, I spent nearly two hours with VZW tech support walking through comprehensive troubleshooting. Finally, tech support issued me a new SIM card which I could pick up at a local retailer. An hour after the new SIM was installed, the post dial delay has disappeared, outbound calls now connecting in 2-3 seconds again. Definitely something with VZW but they said nothing about problems in the network. Sigh. At least I didn't have to do a reflash of the whole phone.

That is a great read, really helps. I thought since it worked with DH 5 that the device must not support DH 14 but if I understand correctly I can raise the DH group to maybe 19 and it should work?

Click to expand...

Well, I'm just assuming it will work given how dated DH 14 is at this point. Note that primer article is from 2013, which predates the release of those 'problematic' Galaxy S7 phones (early 2016). So my assumption is based on supposition for the most part.
Another clue to this puzzle is I rely on Signal Private Messenger as my texting messaging app, which also uses ECDH -- which I recall was working fine on an even more dated Galaxy S3 back in its day (released in 2012).

Why not? There should be something like a plus sign. Maybe a screenshot might help.

Let us know how you like the switch!!

If you want help the first step is to tell us what the problem is...

("Network unlocked" generally just means "not locked to a particular network's SIM cards", and so is not a problem).

Maybe if you tell us what the "hidden menu" is called it will be easier to answer.

Two common hidden menus are "developer options", which you unlock by tapping repeatedly on the "build number" in the software information, and the "Testing" menu which you access by typing *#*#4636#*#* into the phone dialer. If it was something else you were thinking of I'll need more information.

It depends what launcher you have. In most cases a long press on an empty spot on the desktop will do it. Otherwise go to the app drawer and try a long press on the app you want to create a shortcut to.

When the update comes?

ahh i see - go you - cheers

Dear all,

I have Gboard keyboard app installed on my Android 5.1.1 (Sony Xperia Compact Z1). In my country (Czech republic) we are using qwertz keyboard layout. Gborad works fine with this layout on mobile screen, but the problem is that when I connect HW keyboard (bluetooth or usb), it is switched to qwerty and I can't change it.

How can I solve this problem?

Best regards

"Device Maintenance" is a Samsung feature.
https://www.samsung.com/au/support/mobile-devices/about-device-maintenance/


Supposed to be a cleaner and optimiser, although quite frankly I think it's really snake-oil, and is no better than Cheetah Mobile Clean Master.
Apparently Device Maintenance is actually Qihoo 360, which is another Chinese snake-oil app, similar to Clean Master.

The app it's complaining about is Google Now or Google Search isn't it, a system app that comes with the phone? I don't suppose there's anyway to disable this feature?

Here's a list of 24 apps infected with Joker malware.

They've already been yanked from the Play Store, but if you're using them or have them installed, it's best to get rid of them.

Yes forget about the update, the phone is still good for making calls or texting, and maybe some limited apps running...

Even if you update your phone, it won't be able to run the newer apps as it doesn't have the necessary hardware power.

Lies are everywhere and with such abundance, it becomes difficult to find out the difference between the right and wrong. Absolutely everyone can cheat, but you must be thankful that there are certain options which can help you avoid being in this messy conditions every time. i really thank hydrahacking01 @ hotmail dotcom for brilliant and safe investigative services.

It would really help if you could edit or repost your code using tags to preserve the formatting. Use [ code ] and [ /code ] - but without the spaces

I assume the error is happening here?

I'm curious why you're creating a new String instead of just using

Yeah, I've done a bit of checking and can't find any official software newer than 4.4.3 for that model.

In terms of custom software (which requires you learning how to unlock and root the device), if you are prepared to give up the HTC interface and apps then over at XDA I've found one unofficial build of CyanogenMod-12, which is based on Android 5.1. The developer has long since stopped supporting it, so it would be take it as you find it, and make sure you know how to restore the original software if it doesn't work because there will be no fixes. 5.1 is also pretty old, so I'm not sure I'd think it worth the effort myself, but that's the only thing I can find that's newer.

Find some one with the unlocked version and have them send you a copy via google drive flash using odin

You've gotten useful information here. Thanks to everyone. Heartfelt condolences on the death of your father.

If you're confident you can fix it and it doesn't cost you more than $30, go for it if you can find the parts. Since this phone was priced at under $100 in 2017, I would just get another phone.

You can probably get this same phone used in good condition for what it would cost you to fix it.

Ok. Thank you very much for the advice. I think I should opt for a new phone.

The warranty is a genuine concern. Other stuff it depends on whether these things are important to you (e.g. I personally wouldn't give a damn about Samsung Health or Samsung Pay, but for others these might be vital. Actually as a matter of principle I will never use a manufacturer-specific app because the purpose of those is to lock you in to that manufacturer).

I would always recommend anyone thinking about rooting to do their research first and ensure they understand what it involves, the pros and cons, as well as exactly how to do it and how to recover if it goes wrong, before they do anything. And I speak as someone who for many years would routinely root my devices, replace the ROM, even modify the system partition table or the bootloader, so not someone averse to fiddling.

But in this case I don't think it matters, because the option AFAIK isn't available.
