I want to flash stock LG firmware on LG G8 (LM-G820UM). I would first like to backup what is currently on the phone, just in case I want to play around with it in the future. I also want to lock the bootloader again. Could someone please point me in the right direction? How do I backup the firmware the phone currently has? When I search for firmware how do I find out what firmware do I need, which one should I choose and from where should I get it from? How do I flash firmware on LG phones? How do I make sure I have done everything correctly so the phone doesn't become a brick and how do I lock the bootloader again? Do I also need to flash any rom/s? I don't have much experienced flashing phones. Any help is appreciated .

When using the app I can't see where my files are stored on pc but when i look at the disk C the partition's size is decreasing but I can't find the storage file when it's sent and for a clearer view i changed the save to location to another folder but can't find the stuff that's being sent.

Phone: Samsung A12
PC: HP 800G1 TWR

Ok, this is really annoying. It's been going on for some time now. If I have my Bluetooth headset connected to my phone, everytime I end a call, my music just starts playing automatically. Sometimes immediately after I dial a number and it starts ringing, my music will just start playing automatically. Not sure if the person I'm calling can hear the music, but I definitely cannot hear the person with the music blairing. Then after I pause it and talk to the person, I hang up and the music starts again. I've tried to kill the music app. It doesn't matter which music app I'm using. I was using Spotify. I recently uninstalled it and now just listening to MP3s using either poweramp or Samsung music player. They all do it. Whatever app I use to listen to music in my car auto starts playing when I use my Bluetooth headset everytime I use the phone. The music starts playing automatically only when I have a Bluetooth audio device connected to the phone.

When I go to my Bluetooth options, I have the option to disable/enable phone and audio... I cannot diable audio/music on my headset because when I use my phone to make calls, I'm using the app sideline which I use voip which is using the music channel to make calls. I'm not calling using the android native phone app. I do this because my cell signal at my house is really bad, but we finally have rock solid fast internet.

I work from home, so this is super distracting when calling customers.

This cracked me up:

Hello,

I'm looking for a new mobile phone. It must have 10,000+ mAh, be under 6.5 inches, and fall within the price range of 200-500 euros. It should not have any technical issues.My current phone is the Blackview 10000 Pro (it's over 3 years old, and I was happy with that mobile). So, if you have any suggestions for what would be the best one for that price?

Thank you in advance.

Here is what I think about it so far,
It comes with 1 replacement, life-time warranty of 2 more screen protectors.

Putting it on:
1. Fingerprint sensor perfectly working.
2. mounting frame was very easy to use.
3. touch is slightly harder around the edges, but turning increased sensitivity to touch solved that.

Enjoy choosing your next screen protector <3.

Hello,

As a simple way to handle robocalls, I'm looking for an application that, without ringing, would answer the call/text message with a voice/text message "I don't asnwer calls/messages from unknown/blocked numbers. If you wish, leave a voice message or send a text message.", and hang up.

As a safety measure, a notification would still be a good idea just in case.

I assume those apps already exist: Which one would you recommend, preferably (ad-)free?

Thank you.

I found an app called ReadEra. It seems to do a decent job of dealing with a variety of formats and isn't huge. Can I move my Nook ebooks there? Can I also get that one I shouldn't have got from googoo drive?

I recently dumped googoo's crappy disservices and of course they keep sending "messages" in a vain attempt to get me to take them back. That ain't hapoening, but what can I do to get rid of their annoying garbage? Do I need a firewall or sonething else?

i have a Redmi note 9s with android 12 on it i want to buy a Redmi Note 12 5g but I don't know if it has android 12 on it i need to know as i am trying to restore all of my data on my Redmi Note 9s to that phone if I get it that is. i'm trying to use google to restore everything on my old phone

I'm in bed using my tablet. I turn its brightness right down. Next day, I go to the beach. I can't use my tablet, can't see a thing. I hopelessly/blindly try swiping down twice, or with two fingers, then stabbing where I think the brightness bar might be. I tried using my jacket to cover my head and tablet, didn't work. I could not use my tablet without going inside somewhere to be able to see just enough to turn the brightness up. Android itself should have something to deal with this problem. It doesn't it seems. But is there an app to fix it? Like, four taps on the screen or something (or some other simple not requiring any screen buttons method), to turn brightness up to full. Thanks.

I don't think I've ever seen a beta test go to a 6th beta, but here we are with the S23 Ultra One UI 6/Android 14 beta test and it's buttery smooth. Bugs seem to have been resolved and I'm confident that a final, stable release is just a couple of weeks away. A few nice touches with the UX, and I'm sure it will be a hit when it's released.

UPDATE: now on the 7th beta and it's even smoother, faster, better!

UPDATE: now there's an 8th beta rolling out!!!

UPDATE: this is getting crazy - 9th beta is smooth and fast! No real bug fixes, but mostly optimization. Rumor has it that Samsung is trying to get the stable release rollout done by the end of the month.

In Google Maps on my Android, I know when I click on a place on the map, it shows lat/long in the search bar. But how do I COPY the lat/long?

All the forums I have read seem to have old info. They say to click on the lat/long values to copy. But when I click on the lat/long (that is now in the search bar), it changes to the address. Some of the old info also says to swipe up to see more data but again, that area now shows the address, not the lat/long.

I bought a used Toyota Corolla Hybrid 2020. The previous owner apparently replaced the stock display with a tablet that runs Android. The connections seem fine (power, stereo, BT, Wi-Fi). But the UI is clunky, there's no access to the Play Store, and in general the OS seems unofficial.

How can I wipe the system and replace it with a legit Android OS, preferably Android Auto? Is it possible through a connected phone/computer (via BT, Wi-Fi, maybe USB)?

The current system's info is:

• Model: V8AUTO-MX6Q
• Android version 4.4.2
• Baseband version Unknown
• Kernel version 3.0.35

Thanks!

How do I turn off the icon that is in this image? Every time I open a photo or view certain apps, I get this Share/Google Lens search button. I can't find in the settings where to turn it off. It's very annoying.

Hello,
I would like to set my phone, to automatically decline all calls, if the phone is connected to specific bluetooth device. Is there some settings to do this? or can someone recommend me an app that would allow me to do this?
thank you

I currently have a Samsung Galaxy tablet that I would like to upgrade if possible, also have an android 7 cell phone that reads MASON on the back of it and it doesn't seem to have any kind of browser or even a download store. So I joined on here to hopefully gain more knowledge about my devices and ways to maintain them and more.

I ordered a brand new phone, an UMIDIGI G1 Max, and everything was perfect, until it briefly lost contact with the 64gb SD card I had in it. The card contained about 46 GB of music and cartoons. Once the phone rediscovered the SD card it said it's capacity was only 2 GB and all of its contents had been replaced with a single ISO file titled ABCD.iso. I have tried four different cards from four different brands and I've gotten the same results on all of them. Two of them were new and two of them were cards that I've used reliably for several months without a problem. Each time, after mounting the card, the capacity is listed as only 2 gigabytes and, whether it was empty or not, after formatting, there still exists the single .iso file titled ABCD.iso. I have not tried a factory reset because I only discovered this problem after creating about 150 links contained in folders on my homepage that I use for work, and the thought of having to redo it all again makes me sick! I searched high and low online for information about this particular situation, but all I can find is a ransomware virus by a similar name. I want to stress that my situation is not the ransomware virus titled ABCD! Although this may be related, this is something different than the ABCD ransomware virus. I appreciate any tips or insight you may be able to provide.

It seems to me that inflation is alive and well in the food industry. I thought it might be interesting to track the increases in foods until we all starve for lack of buying power.

Today I did a bit of shopping at my local market. On my list was ground beef. I was shocked when I saw the 85% lean that I wanted was $7.99 per pound. There was a row of 96% lean that was $9.99 per pound! It seems like it was just last week that the burger I wanted was $6.99 and a couple of months ago $3.99. We are in trouble my friends.

Post your recent jaw dropping shopping experience so we can all cry together.

I discovered yesterday that my phone is not only ancient, it no longer has the caller ID block option. I wanted to make a call and remain anonymous and the option to turn off the ID was gone from the list.

After talking to a salesperson at a Boost store I was informed that my Android 10 OS was 3 systems behind the times as Android 13 was the stuff now.

Motorola does not support this phone anymore and I am concerned with safety, although all I do with it is play games, (I used to get phone calls when I was working now the phone has not rang in over a week), no steaming and no banking or other personal business.

I go in to the Boost store today for some info on a new phone and a "retired person" plan that sounded real good over the phone yesterday.

Will report back on the deal zone !

Samsung have started rolling out the One UI 6.0 Beta test firmware in the U.S.A. to unlocked Fold5, F946UI, devices that have signed up.

Build = F946UIUEU1ZWJ2

Download = 2739.42 MB

Security patch = 01 October 2023

N.B. Because beta test releases are not certified, you will find that things like Google Wallet, banking apps, may not work until there is a stable release.

Notification says Serial console enabled, performance is impacted.
I've tried 12 and 13, browser looks like this:
