I have it in hand, ask away. - LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers

I know what it's like to have a million questions that can't be answered because no one has it on display and no one can get their hands on one. Well I'm holding mind, just grabbed it right now. If you have questions I can answer them.
I also have an iPhone XS Max and a Note 10+ so if you want me to compare things such as screen brightness or speaker loudness, let me know.

hi @seh6183 ,
I'm updating my (foss F-Droid rc8 ) DeviceInfo app , with multi screen metrics reporting; can you give a try and post resulting G8X json (renamed with additional .txt): the app doesn't connect to internet, and the json (~Android/data/com.xda.kalturadeviceinfo/files/*.json) does not include any private data or ids.

So i just got mine and in the revuew videos it kept saying something about some type of 3 finger gesture to swap screens. Is there a setting somewhere to toggle that? I haven't figured that one out yet aside from the new floating bar for it

Nope, no setting, just use 3 fingers and drag from the right to the left of the screen (right screen) and whatever is on the right screen will transfer over to the left screen.

I really hate how you can't use the blue light filter on the dual display. Anyone find a workaround for that yet?

No. The closest approach I could find wasn't automated.
Settings > Display > Screen colour
Apply to Dual Screen - On
Then, I think 'Web' is the least harsh with blue light of the preset profiles.

No Twilight does not work. It only shades the main display and does nothing to the secondary display.
You can split apps by 1/4:3/4 or 1/2:1/2 ratios on the main display but on the secondary display you can only have one app (the recent apps button is greyed out. When you're not in split view on the main display, the recent apps button is normal).

LG had a really good thing going with this device and then just didn't follow through as usual. In many ways it's superior to something like the galaxy fold so it had a lot of potential.
I mean they couldn't even get the keyboard right of all things. Their software always falls soooooo short, it's so disappointing. I hope they don't wonder why their sales are always in the tank.
This coupled with the hardware flaws is just the nail in the coffin. I will say though that the phone itself when outside the case is actually a very nice piece hardware wise. I wish the dual screen case was as polished as the device itself. That coupled with a polished software experience would have been the ticket.
This really could have been the device to put them back on the map, so it's a shame they blew it.

It sucks because I was using it on T-Mobile. It has full coverage with bands/wifi calling etc.... Can't look pass that screen.

Anyone change their dpi?

I changed my dpi to 280 to get a little bit smaller look to things. The issue I'm having is the lockscreen does not fill up the full screen anymore. I know there is a correction thing built in with the LG settings but settings is not one of the there, only downloaded apps. Anyone know a way to fix it? Using The Base Rom.

To fix the lock screen go into lock screen settings and change image to something else then change back to the image you want and it corrects this issue

Tablet mode would be awesome. I have no idea how that whole system works without messing something up. I noticed that with the 280 dpi the camera app would not keep the pictures I took. The shutter worked but never saved the picture.
Thank you for the tip on the lockscreen image. I'll try it and see what I can figure out with the camera.
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Yea the camera app needs to be run at 320 to work flawless, if you change your dpi to between 190 - 204 that turns tablet mode on, its sweet I suggest try it, but install a 3rd party launcher 1st otherwise it's a real pain to install 1 after but possible lol I had to do it that way because in tablet mode home launcher crashes and DOES NOT WORK lol, found out hard way

Sounds excellent! What do you recommend for the camera? I've got a two year old so quick pictures are a must for me.

My wife says she can't rearrange the home screens.

Now she's at work with her new phone and I'm at work with my old Note 2 so I'm of no help. From my Sensations days I asked her to pinch to zoom to bring up home screen preview and rearrange them there but she said that is no good. The little screen to add another home screen page she says she can drag the home screens around but can't rearrange them. Is there any special trick to rearranging the home screens on the HTC One?
I have the same problem. I've been told that it can't be done with Sense 5.

I can help. Just open the app drawer, long press on the app you want to remove. Drag it up and it will load back in the drawer leaving a blank space. Then drag the app you want to replace down to the blank space on the dock.

If that doesn't work for you, drag the other app down to the app you want to replace and it'll make a folder on your dock. Then just remove the app you want gone. Either way, it's more steps than it should be but you'll get the result you want!

No. You dont drag it TO the drawer. You drag it FROM the drawer TO the taskbar. After, of course, dragging the icon you want to replace FROM the task bar TO the drawer.

It makes sense to me. What didnt make sense on my S2 was to first create a shortcut on a homescreen panel and then drag it to the bottom task bar. Thats two steps. With the One, its one step. From the drawer to the taskbar.
Thank You for these tips. I have been trying to figure this out. I will admit some of these things are strange coming from the Nexus 4 but I can deal with them for this awesome phone.
So when I drag it as per the screenshot. It does add the app to the drawer but then you can not remove either of the apps and this thing is pissing me how

I've got a few more screenshots that will hopefully help from here. Once you've created the folder, click on it to where it brings the two apps up. Then long press the app you wish to remove and drag it to the drawer.

That seems like a setting you wouldn't want to mess with.
Just because a setting can be changed, doesn't mean it should be.

If anyone wants to get qslide out of the notification tray, I found a guide on androidcentral that worked.
To remove qslide from your notification tray...
First, pull down the notification tray, then in the quick setting at the top, scroll to the right and look for qslide. If you have it, toggle it and qslide will go away. If you don't have it in quick settings already, select edit and add it in. Then go back and toggle it, then return to settings and remove the qslide toggle. Qslide will be gone like it should be and we will have world peace!

U talking about thermal throttling that when it gets a certain temp, it dims they display? This can be turned off in the service menu ....
Open dialer, and type 3845*#800# I always turn off thermal throttling that dims ur display when phone gets over 100 degrees. Do this by going to High temperature property off, and thermal deamon mitigation off, and enable them both...
That is the code for the at&t version. The 800 between the #'s is the model number, so Verizon guys would insert there model there...

Can't get one handed function to work

Has anyone had issues getting the one handed (smaller screen view) working? I am stock unrooted and I have checked the box in settings to allow one handed access on all screens. I've watched all of the videos about how to make it work by swiping from off the screen edge and off again in one motion without lifting your finger and it still won't activate. I'm running nova launcher and I tried in the browser and several other apps with no sucess. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to make sure you have it turned on. When I got my phone, on Saturday, by default it was off.

Likes/Dislikes Verizon Galaxy Note 3

I have literally had my phone for less than a few hours. But I thought it would be a great idea to share likes and dislikes.
Little bit of background, I am coming from a Note 2, so most of my likes/dislikes will be catered toward the upgrade from the Note 2.
Likes -
Mostly Everything LOL,
the screen resolution
the vibrant colors,
super fast,
the plethora of options,
blocking mode finally works,
no wifi nag notification,
wifi toggle works.
Dislikes -
The internet browser no longer sync with google,
can not use multiple lock screen widgets w/password or pattern lock,
4x4 grid on touchwiz (will be switching to nova).
I will update my list once I get to fully dive in. But so far 9.9999999999/10
I had mine for about an half hour. The best thing so far to me is the settings screen is 1 menu instead of 4 tabs . Sometimes its just the little things
Loving mostly everything, but again have only messed with it for a short time.
Only gripes so far is font sizes and in general DPI is just way too big and obnoxious. And lag when typing on the keyboard.

Agree with pretty much all of the likes so far, which is mostly everything about the device. My 4G speeds seem to have improved too.
Some nitpicks:
-new S-Pen feels much cheaply made than Note 2's
-Flipbook keeps getting activated when I hit the home button and accidentally brush by the screen
-Screen brightness range is WAY TOO SMALL (minimum brightness is too bright)
Several complains: desktop view does not stay on. I do not see the Note 2 developers options. I cannot remove the Verizon bookmarks as I was able to do before and restore from a save.
I think u have to tap on something in the menu 7 times to get dev options to show up. Saw it in a review somewhere
