Unlocked Model is getting Android 10 as well - LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers

I have the LM-G850QM model number and I have an OS update going.
Some details.
April 1 security
Dual Screen Firmware
Fingerprint reader is still bad
Microsoft Beta Launcher is all sorts of screwed up, but the second screen generally respects the "Default" launcher if you have Microsoft Beta
Desktop mode seems to be included but I haven't gotten to play with it much beyond plugging it into a dock quick.

Got the Q and the Q freezes up on me

I tried the Q on the in the NY store and was sold the moment i put in on. But now that i start to play around with it I'm experiencing some issue's. First and foremost is that I installed a new watch-face (world-timer) to add timezone support and it seems to freeze every now and then after that. How can i troubleshoot watch freezes and how can i uninstall the watch-face ? - i really want this to work.
Remove it from android wear
To uninstall a watch face find it in your phone's apps and select uninstall just like you would for any other app.
The Founder and Tag are the only Intel Wear devices out right now so there are some compatibility issues with certain apps and faces. I'm not sure if this is the case but keep it in mind.
Are you using the 1st Gen FossilQ Founder? (None swappable wrist bands)
What build number are you on? (Settings -> About -> Build number)
I believe the latest is M1D65G with Android wear 1.5.0.3686357 with Android version being 6.0.1.
If you're not on the latest then updating should help with the lag issues as when I first got this watch it lagged a lot but after many updates it has gotten better!
Hopefully we get Android Wear 2.0 as now the new Fossil watches have snapdragon processors and this version has the Intel Atom chip.

Chrome tablet mode for samsung devices

for everyone that lost tabs with the chrome update on april 25th 2016 By per app settings in xposed, here is a link to the last version of chrome that works on SAMSUNG devices. yes, i know tablet mode still works on htc and lg devices but whatever google did on their end for compatibility on samsung devices has us all screwed up.
chrome arm 49.0.2623.105 for 5.0 (but 4.1 version also installs on my 5.1 and mm builds)
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...se/chrome-49-0-2623-105-android-apk-download/
hope this helps people that have been stuck using firefox or opera just to have tabs. it sure kept me from jumping from my note 3 and 4 to the lg v10 or nexus 6.

What's annoying you about the yoga book? (android)

Just got mine today, and am liking it so far. Few small issues I've run into tho:
The placement of the power button is exactly where I hold the device when I've got it folded to tablet mode and am using in in Portrait orientation and it's plugged in. (Quickly discovered this trying to set the device up while charging after first getting it! If it's not charging, I can easily hold the side with the power key at the top, but when it's charging, I prefer to hold it with the charging cable coming out the top.)
There's no way (that I've found) to set the keyboard, onscreen or Halo, to dvorak. I can readily enough install a different onscreen keyboard (switched it to gboard, in fact), but I'd expected to be able to remap the Halo keyboard readily as well. This might be a deal breaker for me, I'm not sure yet.
Halokeyboard...
Halokeyboard supports only one touchpoint. I just want to play Dos games using emulator like dosbox but because of this limit I can't play my vintage games.
the Basic software Note Saver is definitely too limited, some better native software will be welcome. the second webcam on the keyboard side is useless,
I'd like a bordless larger screen for the same tablet size ,
coming from remix os i must say they handled the windowing alot better. for example every application can be windowed and every window can be resized. Although pen input on non-full screen applications can be unpredictable e.g. touch point offset so i can see why lenovo adopted a stricter windowing policy. hopefully nougat will improve functionality.
Not being able to change the default app
I've got 2 of these in the house, I use the Android one and the wife has the windows variant. Both are flawed in their own way, Notesaver on Android is awful, looks fine when writing but pixellates horribly when exporting and Windows cannot take notes when the screen is off, which I use a lot on the Android version. I'd love to be able to change the default app that the hardware button launches to Onenote (or even Squid or Inkredible). I realise this would probably kill the screen-off writing which is very handy but currently we have 2 very similar tablets, that can't even share notes between them without major issues.
Netflix offline isn't compatible... It's Android... How is it different than a 2 yr old $hit$ung 10in android tablet... ?
* No gamepad support
* No OTG ethernet support
* Halo keyboard very sensitive, just brushing past a key is enough for it to engage
* Won't fit in my 10" tablet holder
I bought the Pixel C and the Yoga Book as I couldn't decide on one or the other. I decided on the Yoga Book but not being able to use a gamepad, no ethernet support, and it's inability to fit in my awesome tablet holder w/bt keyboard is really starting to bug me.
I still have the Pixel C sitting in a box ready to be sent. Now I'm having second thoughts. Should I send back the Yoga in favor of the Pixel C?

Wow. I didn't know that even existed. Buying one tonight. Thanks!
The Halo keyboard is mostly okay for me, though it's never going to replace a proper laptop for typing (I'd hate to try to write a long report with it), but the thing I dislike most about it is the touchpad. It's pretty terrible, so I rarely use it. It's also much too close to the spacebar so it's very easy to accidentaly touch the touchpad while typing and move the cursor somewhere where you don't want it to be.
I cant figure out how to run a proper linux distribution (assuming it's possible). Can't even find a way to boot from USB (if any succeeds please let me know :crying: ) .
I'm getting random reboots all of a sudden on my Android model. It used to do this with an older update, but stopped when I installed the Dec 9 update until today.
Anyone else seeing the same?

Can confirm, but for me it got better - I think when installing the December update.
I've discovered a new problem-my password manager, Lastpass, which ties into the accessibility settings to work, keeps getting disabled! (android version)

I was getting the same problem too. A question in the Lastpass FAQ suggested disabling battery optimization for the app, which seems to be working so far. Hopefully it'll stick.

I like mine alot except that the left top corner tablet portion's pressure and touch is really really bad And there are couple areas (around f keys) where things get slightly wobbly when drawing.
Btw do not get me wrong but people who use online password managers must be out of there minds!!! They were already hacked, I cant believe that no lessons got learned there ;( Use whatever you want but saving your passwords to cloud just defats the whole purpose of security.

While I agree there's a certain amount of risk with services such as LastPass. Using a strong password and two factor authentication goes some way to mitigating this. I use LastPass and have it configured so only my devices can access my account, any other device is automatically rejected. Plus each time I do log in on my authorized devices, I still need to grant access using an authentication app on my phone. You can also encrypt individual accounts within LastPass using a separate password. So even if your account was compromised, these login details would not be visible.
No two finger scrolling on the touchpad, and the scrolling solution they use is bad because you can't continuously scroll with it
Minor annoyance is if you're trying to do a capital letter you have to hold shift like a traditional keyboard and not like on a Android on screen keyboard.

I think you must have done something wrong. because bluetooth gamepads also works with mine. I'm using a Steel series free with good results

Problem with P20 lite and Android Auto app

Hi
First time post in this forum - hope someone can help me.
Just getting back to driving after lockdown and have noticed a problem with using Android Auto app. My P20 lite connects to the cars Infotainment system using USB cable via Android Auto app. I use this for navigation using Google maps, I also use Telegram for messaging, and VCL or Spotify for music.
When Android Auto loads, the Launcher function, which allows you to choose whichever app you want does not work and you are stuck with whatever app you last used. The area where other app shortcuts should be displayed is blank. One time in 10, it will work normally. My car is a 2017 Skoda Octavia estate with a Bolera head unit. Here are the things I have done so far to try to remedy the situation :
1 Replace the USB cord (twice)
2 Update the head-units firmware /software to the latest version
3 Update all phone software - Maps, and all other software to latest versions
4 Tried 2 other Android devices* both worked OK
* ( Google Pixel 3a with Android 11,Samsung S2 tablet with Android 7 and my P20 running Android 9)
5 I have also disabled most Huawei apps and the Huawei ID - anything which ad the ability to work over other apps or had the ability to write its own settings.
Now I'm out of Ideas. Any help much appreciated

Android tablet help

have this kids tablet pbskd7200, it looks like it's from 2020.
We bought it used as a gift to one of my nephews, it was complete, pretty much open box quality, but it's running a full fat Android 10 instead of Android go edition.
Judging from the specs this tablet should be able to run Android 10. Every app, game, including settings all crash and default to home screen (I disabled all pbs apps via adb, also all useless bloatware)
I tried everything to fix this, my last hope is to find a older version of Android, but I can't find any guides or roms to flash. Or a light weight one
Would be great if someone can send me a link to a rom or guide to do this. Oem is unlocked from the developers settings.
please share screenshot of phone info
