Just in case you are wondering this is completely safe. You cannot mess your phone up using this. Its just a testing platform

Cool! I can't get the light sensor to test.......
I wonder if my ghost armor is letting light through....wouldn't the light sensor be one of the ones nest to the ffc lens?
Any test I can perform to see why i'm getting the error when trying to do a software update?

You're not the only one...how the heck do I enter ALPHA in dailer?
does nothing on mine, maybe because I'm running custom ROM (FreeGS3)
Thanks for this. I actually used this to show a Verizon employee the dead pixel my brand new Galaxy S3 had. We used the touchscreen test mode to circle the area with the dead pixel. It showed up nicely on the white background.
I'm still unclear on what the light sensor is testing.I do get a reaction. It flashes black/blue, zero/one.....but what is it doing and how do I test the light sensor here?

Did they replace it? I was under the impression they don't warrantee against dead pixels, which would infuriate me.
The proximity sensor on this phone has much better range than my old phone. In good light, with a piece of white paper, the prox sensor would consistently get tripped at 9cm (3 1/2 inches)!, which is almost double my old phone's.

You have to put your finger directly on the light sensor (directly to the left of the front cam) for it binary flip from 1 to 0. It doesn't show gradually reduced sensor values as you approach.

The initial floor employee would not acknowledge the problem. He kept saying "oh they won't see it and I'll get fired, etc". I remained calm but continued to press him about it, but he wouldn't budge.
I got frustrated and after arguing with him on a different route (the 14-day exchange period) he even refused to acknowledge that Verizon obliges themselves to a 14-day return. I pressed him more on it before he finally went to talk to a manager, and said "oh right we can do that". I was grudgingly going to pay the $35 restocking fee out of frustration.
Eventually, after he fumbled with the computer system for a good 20 minutes or more, he got the manager to look at the computer. The manager then asked me to see my phone, and I put it into the hardware test mode and showed him the affected area. He made a quick call to another store, as he was wondering if they had any similar problems (he said one person's phone had a damaged back plate out of the box).
After he saw the dead pixel he confirmed that I could swap it out for free. I apologized for making a fuss over a single dead pixel, but he assured me I didn't have to explain myself, and that he would have done the same thing had he paid for a defective device.
So, yes, I did get them to replace it, but only after an hour and a half of waiting, arguing, more waiting, etc.
Thankfully my new Galaxy S3 seems fine.

i'm on my 3rd evo with camera problems. first one was taking green pics, 2nd one had blotchy looking pictures on the left hand side (cameras weren't even close to being centered), and now in the middle of the day, bright and sunny out with no cover my pictures come out really dark.
is this normal? i haven't played with the settings at all on the camera. i'm ready to throw in the towel but am past my 30 days.
here's some pictures that i took today:

Can you see the vulture? this is in broad daylight, hot as hell outside, sunny florida! and that is a wood fence, not a peach one.
can you see him now?
and this was taken at my friends house.... even though my friend wishes it was, his grass is no where near this green.
Check your settings > Image adjustments. You can adjust the exposure there. Also check your settings > ISO. I took mine off of Automatic and put it on 200 for outdoor shooting. Seems to work pretty well.
Finally check the magic wand and make sure that No Effect is selected.
I have the same problem. And I tried all the image adjustments. I called Sprint about it last night and they said it's the first they've heard of it, even though I've seen other people here complain about it.
They gave me a ticket number and told me to take it into a store.
I sent an email to HTC about it the other day and I have yet to get a response.
It's a problem. I have an email from HTC claiming that I'm far from the only one with this problem and it effects ALL EVO 3ds. It is a software issue they are working on but no ETA on a fix. Because of this, Sprint is allowing me to return my phone today with no restocking fee and I can get the photon next week and have a new 30 days to try that rather than take the EVO 3d back and then be stuck with the next phone since they only do the 30 day swap once....

So I guess it's not the first Sprint has heard of it. HTC told you it was a software problem? So I guess it wouldn't make sense for me to take it in. I'm outside of my 30 days so I guess I'll just wait until HTC comes up with a fix. The only thing I'm worried about is the fix will come after we have s-off and they will sneak something in to fix that if ya know what I mean.

I'm not having the issue so the potential may be there but it is not affecting all EVO 3Ds.
Have you tried using another camera app like Vignette to see if you still have the same issue? I know that the other camera apps can't take 3D pics but they still work for 2D pics.

I'm just going off what they told me...I'm hheaded to sprint not to turn the phone in...good thing is if I don't like the photon, I can always come back to the EVO. Just hope they fix this issue and the black screen issue where the phone is still on but screen won't come on. My 3rd 3d and they all suffered the same exact issues. Could be bad batches just in my region. Who knows.

let's all return our evos!
I e-mailed HTC about this issue and this was their response:
I understand you have a green tint on your pictures that were taken with your EVO 3D. HTC is aware of this and we are working toward a resolution. However, we do not have an ETA of when this would be resolved. You may clear the data from the camera application. This may help resolve the issue. This may be done by tapping Menu from the home screen then tap on Settings> Applications> Manage Applications> All Tab> Camera> Clear Data. When you clear the data from the application, this does not delete information saved on the SD card. It will reset any settings you have changed within the application. Once this process is complete, power off your device and power it on. Once the device has powered on test your camera application. If the issue is not resolved, rest assured that we are working toward a resolution. You may check htc.com or twitter.com/htc for update information as it becomes available.
great so who knows if it'll ever be fixed. i seriously thought the problem was fixed after i got this 3rd phone and then it starts showing up yesterday. i miss so many good pics of my 1 year old son cause of this.

Lol no.
I haven't really had any problems with my camera. If you have a green tint, try adjusting the white balance.

I actually spoke with them on the phone about it too. There are different levels of this issue. Some get green tint on every picture whether they use flash or not, some as in my case just get it when they use the flash. We went through all of the adjustments and nothing worked. They assured me that it was an issue that they were very aware of and that they were working on a fix, just couldn't give an ETA.
So I was using my prime inbetween finals today..
So I was using wifi kill to get back some bandwidth on the school network..... (i have used this same app before on the prime worked fine! NO. Reboots intact this was my first ever reboot..)
Then when I am done downloading my file and exit wifi kill bam instant reboot then I let it do its thing for Atleast 5 minutes... Nothing but the asus screen..
So then I wipe data... Try to start nothing
Try loading recovery kernel I get the dead android guy with the exclamation mark.. Then it reboots and loops again. This time I waited 20 minutes..
Now all that is left to do is try unzipping the firmware onto a micro sd and trying to flash the recovery kernel from that...
Of course we have no ADB because of the fact it needs asus sync to work and the tablet needs to be on for that to work... And of course the bootloader is locked...
My prime was perfect for the almost 1 month I had it
No reboots no screen bleed gps worked fine.. Wifi was fast and range was good.. Nothing just perfect!

Dang, sorry to hear that. Did you still have the overclock applied while this happened? Anything else you can think of that you did or added to prime after rooting? running any extra scripts other than overclock?
Maybe try killing the battery to do a reboot like that. so old processes or whatever cause it will more than likely be killed. What kind of file did you download? seems like the file or app you used has something to do with it since it happened immediately after.
Good luck getting it up n running. Keep us posted.

No I have ran the apps (wifi kill almost every day) before and the file was a harmless playstation 1 rom zip
Overclock was not applied........ I have changed nothing in the system files except for throwing in a better GPS config file but I have shut the prime off many times before this... Hell I even left all of the bloatware!
the only thing else I can think of was that I was listening to music VIA headphones.... then all of a sudden it started playing over the speaker even though the headphones where plugged in....... it was really weird.... I forgot to mention this part as I almost got in trouble because other kids where still finishing their Final
Because this was the first time I had used headphones in it........ never check that before.....
One thing you could try would be the pin hard reset........not sure which pin hole to use but look it up.....might get you out of your boot loops.

Good post, OP. It proves karma is real, and that people who are pr!cks get what's coming to them.
ARP spoofing (what Wifikill does to disrupt other connections) is an old man-in-the-middle attack that can be used for wiretapping. IOW, it's ILLEGAL and you can be prosecuted. Would that happen? Probably not, depending on where you use it and how vigilant IT is.
But what will happen is that if you use it on a regular basis--or if you publicize it on forums so more dweebs like you can get their paws on it to get their "whoa cool" kicks--IT will get annoyed from all the complaints and will trace you down. Hope you like long vacations, because for a work or school setting, you will be somewhere else after they get done with you.
Edit: For those who have their Internet connection disrupted by twits using ARP spoofers like wifikill, there are Anti Netcut for Windows, and Wifi Protector for Android. Protector is a paid app, but the author has made it free here on XDA. If you use a hotspot, this is a must-have.
I've not used either, but from Wifi Protector's blurb below, you can pinpoint the attacker's IP and MAC, and report it to your admin.
For those putting up a public hotspot, better routers have a "client isolation" setting. Enabling this setting should defeat many MITM attacks. If your router doesn't have this, get one that does.
ARP attacks aren't new, and there are ways to bring the attackers to heel. The people likely to get hurt most are the mom & pop stores that don't know how to protect themselves, like these folks.

I posted a few times over the past couple of months complaining of problems with animated gifs and call quality but now another problem as surfaced.
First of all, animated gifs are STILL broken unless I use Textra. The work around is nice but still not a solution.
Second, call quality STILL sucks. I had hoped a replacement would fix the problem (faulty parts) to no avail. I've tried unselecting "Advanced Calling" as well as "Voice Enhancement" with no success, either. Callers are still complaining that I sound a mile away and sometimes sound garbled.
Third, over the past couple of days I've been getting an "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped" error repeatedly. I've tried rebooting with no luck. I googled a solution and everyone says to uninstall Google Play Store's updates - also with no luck.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY PHONE? I swear it's possessed. Is this an LG problem or Verizon? The people at the Verizon store have no idea what's going on and I got no where when I called Verizon, too.
I'm beyond frustrated. Someone please help!
I have the same problem with voice quality. Same exact thing you speak of; mile away from the phone and garbled. I also got a warranty replacement and same problem. I have even done a factory reset, did not install any apps and still have the same issues. It seems to be interment with no known location that I make or receive a call to be the problem. I am just waiting to maybe get an early edge upgrade and jump ship. I use my phone more for talking than texting in a given day. I had the same problem with call quality on the G2, this will be my last LG phone.
I've tried a factory reset, too. I wonder if I ***** enough if they'll let me get a different phone.

Update:
I got the lollipop update this past weekend and over-all my phone is running much smoother. I'm no longer having sound issues while on the phone, nor am I getting google play service errors anymore.
However, I am STILL unable to receive animated gifs. WTF!!!
I'm still here and still having gif issues and call issues if anyone has a suggestion.
I've tried disabling "OK Google" from any screen but that hasn't helped. Friends are still complaining about my call quality to the point where they're now harassing me for not getting an iPhone!
I'm still receiving broken gifs in anything other than Textra.
???????
I gave up on LG a while ago due to the call quality problems I was having. Same complaints as others, people say I sounded under water, far away etc. The net is full of complaints. See the archives. My company gave me an iPhone all unlimited so I'm using that. It works fine but I do prefer Android devices. I know one thing, I will NEVER purchase another LG phone again. And I will never purchase any phone through a 3rd party like Best Buy because it just adds another layer of complication when it comes time to get things fixed.
It was confirmed by those using the international version that LG put the smart screen option back after the omission of it on the G4. I do not have the option on my V10 under any of the settings.

Sucks.. I knew it.
Kind of bummed. One of the main reasons I bought this was on the good faith that it had Smart Screen. After using the phone for the past 6 hours, I won't say its a deal breaker, but its definitely disappointing and I have no clue why LG scrapped it, unless they were sued by Samsung and have no choice.

The only thing that MIGHT be the case is that it is enabled on the international version and not others. The Verizon G4 for some reason had the smart screen app installed but didn't actually work. Never could figure out why.. If someone saying the function was working could post a video or something to confirm.. If it is working maybe we can port it over once we obtain root.. @wolfgart said it was there, maybe he can post a video.
Just decompiled the lge framework res and it allows me to enable it. Same as G4, but without a properly working wise screen apk it won't work. I didn't see the apk in the korean system pull either. Once we have root I'll test this one Ive modded. It should give us the option in settings to use it, but like I said doubt it will work without a new apk built for this device..

I don't have the phone yet so can't say for sure, but I think you're talking about something different..

I'm talking about the setting that detects your eyes and keeps the display on.

The only thing that MIGHT be the case is that it is enabled on the international version and not others. The Verizon G4 for some reason had the smart screen app installed but didn't actually work. Never could figure out why.. If someone saying the function was working could post a video or something to confirm.. If it is working maybe we can port it over once we obtain root.. @wolfgart said it was there, maybe he can post a video.

Thanks Wolfgart, we all have that setting. The LG G3 under Display's advanced tab had a setting called Smart Screen that made the front facing camera detect your eyes and the screen would never shut off until you looked away. Samsung has a similar feature, maybe the sued LG or something, the G2 and G3 had it, the G4 and V10 do not.

Yeah the feature isn't for unlocking. I'll give you an example if you don't mind. Set your phone screen to time out after 30 seconds. Then don't touch the screen or do anything for that 30 seconds and see if the phone turns off. With Smart screen, if you just stare at the phone you can set the screen timeout for 30 seconds and it will never shut off until you look away and in 30 seconds it shuts off.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I actually did not see it in the ATT version either. I know sometimes they omit it from different carriers but yet to see it on any US version....Its a useful feature for reading!

I swear Samsung must have sued them. No reason to leave it out of the G4 and V10.

I tried everything to get this working on the G4 with no luck. I always got error requested preview size 960x720 not supported in my logcat. It could be something to do with them going to 64bit. There is no lib for the wise screen in 64bit, but the camera libs and media libs are 64bit. I don't think they got sued over it, I just think they can't get it to work on 64bit yet or the changes they made to the cameras don't allow the size needed. It's the only explanation I can think of.
Tried it on the V10 and got same results.. No go unless someone smarter can figure it out.
Guess I'll have to try Screebl pro

SMART SCREEN [Smart Stay + Smart Widgets]
Check out Smart Screen it has Smart Stay which does not use camera and the best part you choose the apps which should use this feature...
Its time to forget the legacy Smart Stay

Is there any way to create keyboard shortcuts? Like I type in [email protected] and it would automatically change that to my email address? I can see how to add words to the dictionary, but not to make shortcuts.
How does the battery in the cam plus module work? Ive seen reports saying it doesnt work except when using the camera? Why would this be? Also tk bay said ipyou can not charge your phone with the cam plus module on? How dumb could lg be?
Not a question but eagerly hoping they can update one of the apps used for rooting without a PC to root my phone as I don't own a laptop at present.

Got another one: Can you disable the "Beauty Mode" on the front facing camera permanently? I want the slider to always be at 0. Really, really annoying for people who have freckles or stubble.
Anyone tried updating their h860 variant to this version? This is the first update i am getting since owning the phone for almost a month now.

The CamPlus Module is specifically meant to be used with the Camera App on the phone. There is a switch on the module that allows quick access to the Camera app. There's a Shutter Button, as well as button for taking videos.
You can charge the phone with the Module installed. The module has it's own battery and I've discovered that the module may charge the phone momentarily. With the Cam Plus Module installed on my G5, with a solid LTE Signal, I can get close to 15 hours of use in a day.
1. Any one facing serious lag with chrome?
2. When im trying launch recovery with hardware keys it asks if its ok to wipe everything- this is the way to recovery?
3. The fingerpring sensor sometimes not responding at all even when the display turned on.

1) Nope, i'm using Chrome dev and is smooth
2) Yes, lg's stock recovery only performs the hard reset, and it's the same on the other LG devices.
3) No problem with the fingerprint scanner, maybe a faulty device? Try to unlock the screen 4-5 times with the fingerprint and check if it works correctly

If it's so rare then there is no reason to worry about, it could just be a "stability" problem of the "young" software, or it's just you that put your finger in a wrong way, maybe Try to re-add the fingerprint or to add another one and See if things are different

Ok
The problem isnt that the finger isnt recognized , its like the sensor doesnt recognize the touch

The touch? You mean that if sometimes if you put your finger in the sensor the phone doesn't viber (which means wrong fingerprint) and no led appears? Well, that is sue strange, never happened to me, but still if it's so rare probably there is no need to worry about, if the problem get worse then it could be an hardware issue

Ok thank you!
Has any experienced mediocre Wi-Fi speeds? On my AT&T G5 I'm getting 18Mbps down and 6Mbps up compared to 48Mbps down and 6Mbps up on my Nexus 6 on a speed test at home. At work I get 110 down and 80 up on my G5, my Nexus 6 will get 240 down and 105 up. It's basically half of what my Nexus 6 will get on average. Anyone know what I need to do? Some weird setting I need to change?
