first off have you installed anything in regards to sound(mods, apps....) if you have uninstall them now!!!
second off if you have installed apps since last audio uninstall them if that does not work go into recovery and do a factory rese(backup apps first) do NOT install apps after wipe and check if audio works if it does it was one of your apps if not bring phone in for repairs
you go in to recovery by turning off phone and holding power and vol+ until you see the lg logo then release a second and press BOTH buttons again and hold then chose factory reset
edit: beccause you did to try swapping it if they allow that otherwise it needs to be send to LG repair

I'm having same problem.
Can you send me default build.prop file or factory reset is necessary.
Also, did you later manage to modify build .prop without loosing sounds?

What lines did you mess up in the build prop? I'm having the same problem. Happens when I change my LCD desnsity to 530 with Root Browser. It's happened twice. When I tried to overwrite my build.prop with the one provided below it soft bricked my phone and I had to flash stock rom from my computer.
Thanks

Guys,
Any time you make edits to the build.prop make sure you take a copy of the original so you can revert back if something gets messed up.

This has happened to me also. I edited the build prop with Root Explorer and it has messed up sound settings.
I had changed the value for Multi window for all apps.

Hey Guys,
Could someone please provide a new link to their working build.prop file?! Preferably stock.
The link above no longer works!!!
The same happened to me while editing the build.prop file
Thanks in advance

Lock Sound

When i first got the phone I could hear a sound when the phone locked. However, after i updated to 2.3.3 (it bricked half way through(pc companions fault ¬_¬)) this was gone and i just updated to 2.3.4 and it still isn't there...Was this removed :
If so, is there a way to restore it?
EDIT- Also facebook seems to be chewing up 30mb + of ram now...I've tried removing anything related to facebook from the phone via titanium backup and then installing fb via the market but i get the same thing...
u would have to root ur phone,extract the attachment and put these into system/media/audio/ui and change the permissions to how the others are
This worked for me!! And u will have to turn it on in settings/sound/screen lock sounds
ENJOY!!
Just checked system/media/audio/ui and the audio file for locking still seems to be there "lock.ogg" ... So i'm guessing its just not incorporated into the system or is disabled somehow...
you could just use widgetlocker. that has lock and unlock sounds plus tons of lock slider options
Yep ended doing that

[Q] Camera not working

Hey gus,
today my Camera suddenly stopped working properly. When i try to use dual mode or start taking a video, the app suddenly crashes.
I already tried a factory reset. After that I could not even find the app installed, it disappeared. When I reinstalled it (backuped the apk before reset) I got the same issue: dual mode and videos not working. The phone was rooted and I used the camera mod that sets the 1080p framerate to to 60 fps, but the camera worked properly until today. In addition to that the media profiles xml should be original again since I did a factory reset, so this should not be the problem.
Anyone pls help me.
Maybe someone can upload his/her camera files so I can try installing another apk? Its possible I got a damaged apk or so..
When you change something in protected area i.e. system you change it for good. No matter how many factory resets you do it would stay the same. Applying camera mod involved modifying mediaprofile.xml that is in system/etc folder. Only way to fix it would be to grab the stock mediaprofile.xml and put it back in the system/etc folder.

I guess I'm not the only one having issue with the camera mods. I changed framerate to 1080p60, but got worse results and the phone got stuck on the boot screen. Had to use the flashtool to go back to stock. If your phone boots, restore the xml as previously mentioned. Im curious, which version of the G3 do you have?
Thanks for your answers
@enaybee: could you please upload your original file? I just dud a backup of the apk, forgot the media profiles.
@garykl: Got the german 16 GB version from 1&1

Here you go media profile xml
Thanks man, now I just need to reinstall it as a system app, can you explain what i have to do? I put it in the priv-apps folder and etc folder, rebooted, but nothing happened
Just grab the mediaprofile.xml and place it inside /system/etc directory with the help of any file explorer that gives you access to system folder (requires root) like root explorer or es explorer. Make sure stock file replaces the modified file. Reboot and that should take care of the issue if it was only caused by the mod.
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I already did this with es explorer, set the permissions to rw r r and rebooted, all files are in the right folders.
Still no camera app
Maybe it doesnt work because we got different phone versions?
I checked the model number and it says D-855
Edit:I dont know why, but suddenly the app appeared in my drawer. Problem solved, thanks alot for your help [emoji106]

"Unfortunately, Camera has stopped." message, please help!

Hi,
On my LG G3, camera displays the unfortunately camera has stopped message. I cannot access the camera using this application nor through any 3rd party applications. I can however access the front facing camera using snapchat but not the rear. I have tried the method of clearing cached, data then force stop it and reboot. This does not solve the problem. I have also rebooted the phone in safe mode to determine if it was interference from any 3rd party applications however even in safe mode I got the message, which leads me to think maybe a hardware problem. Can anyone offer some advice?? The device is not rooted. I go on holiday next week and was looking forward to taking some good pictures with it too!
Regards
Ajay
did you make any mod for the camera ? like video quality or bitrate ?
if you did your problem is with the permission of the files you changed. it happended to me too.
i decided to reinstall everything since a wipe didn't solve the problem. later i discovered that i forgot to chance the permissions. so the reinstall was unecessary...all i had to do was give the right permission as was stated in the post about the camera mod.

cse should have fixed it for sure
Do you have a 3rd party flashlight app installed? I had a similar issue and backtracked my installed apps a bit. I removed apps that I knew had access to hardware (removing each one at a time and rebooting my phone after each) The 3rd try was my flashlight app. After rebooting, the camera was back to normal. Also... the front camera likely worked because it doesn't access your camera's flash. Just a guess on that last part mind you. Hope this helps.

but a cse flash deletes all apps which he had done and still no luck, seems like a hardware issue to me
I agree. A hardware issue possibly caused by an app that isn't talking the camera flash's language. Just saying... I had the exact same issue less than 12 hrs ago. I see your point though.

Jishnu Camera mod help

Hi all, so I got the G3 last friday, rooted it Tuesday and had a blast until last night when I tried the camera mod and ended up breaking my camera(apparently).
I replaced the following stock camera files with the Jishnu modded files:
media_profiles.xml
mix_paths.xml
LGCameraApp.apk
LGCameraApp.odex
Camera broke. And by broke I mean, when I start up the app, I get the toast message "Unfortunately, the Camera has stopped". So I reversed the above process and its still broken. Permissions are all rw-r-r as instructed, they are all in the correct directory on the phone. I rebooted several times, and even once the camera uninstalled itself over reboot!
Please help me resolve this as the camera was one of my favorite things about the phone, coming from the Moto X.
Thanks in advance,
Mark. The. Shark.

Your best bet is probably just to flash back to stock. You could try making a backup with the LG PC suite so you can restore your settings and such.

Hi,
I don't know where you downloaded the mod, but you should only have 3 files in the mod for it to work.
There are 4 files on your phone though.
Copy the files like the mod says and change permissions.
The files you need to copy from mod to phone are :
media_profiles.xml
camera_config.xml
LGCameraApp.apk
Then delete this file otherwise it won't work :
LGCameraApp.odex
Now reboot and see your new camera in action.
I have uploaded a copy of the one I use here > https://www.dropbox.com/s/llzkf38jku8848o/Jinshu Camera Mod G3 v2.zip?dl=0
Enjoy

Cannot save screenshot, try again

has anyone else run into this? i've found threads from various other phones on this, but none of the fixes ive tried have worked - delete /sdcard/pictures folder, clear data for quickmemo+, nada
as soon as i take a screenshot, the notification "saving screnshot" is stuck in my panel and cannot be swiped away. the screenshot actually saves, but a toast message comes up saying "Cannot save screenshot, try again".
SOLVED: DO NOT DISABLE CLIPTRAY
I'm having the same problem.
I've gone and unfroze everything and that didn't work so I factory reset this thing and still no luck.
edit: Extreme you rooted? I am rooted but I originally could take screenshots.

I have this issue too. It's definately a systemui issue as Force closing System UI clears the notification.
It started happening to me after root, so guessing it's something to do with the system ui in that image.

Ah didn't notice which variant you were on. Though it's still an issue with system UI somewhere though. Tried everything can find, centering folders, unfreezing apps, etc.
well, reroot/flashing the rooted systemimg did work. ive gone back and disabled all bloat again, and screenshotting still works. no idea what changed
edit: andddd i broke it again. it was working fine, did a whole bunch of restarts after blocking a few apps taking screenshots along the way. eventually screenshotting broke again. unfroze a few apps that i froze in Titanium and screenshotting is still broken. i am so confused

holy ****, good call. i did disable cliptray. i guess screenshot on this stupid ROM writes the screenshot directly to the cliptray, so when its disabled, it cant write it to the cliptray, and thus the persistent saving notification..
There is a nice app which should be used with option B, this preserves screenshot funtionallity.
