Losing my mind! Help please! - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It started on my G2 on the stock rom. No alarms but the alarm icon is still in the notification bar. I rooted and installed Malodus and it came back. I installed carbon, there it was. No matter what rom. I can't find an app that causes it. If I open Clock app it goes away instantly but comes back again.
Now guess what. Bought a new G3 and there it is. What the heck?

Heres the other weird thing. I used Xposed module on the G2 and even that wouldnt hide it. I'm pissed off that its following me from phone to phone.

From your sig I see you use the Verizon variant, maybe it's a Verizon thing? - Seems they do all sorts of crazy stuff to their firmwares.

Thanks Jay. I will try it if I decide to root. For now I'd like to stay stock.

Quick update. I logged on to Google and deleted all app data then factory reset my phone. So far so good on the icon.

disable sd card notification in notification pull down

Keeps giving me the option to unmount with the icon in the toolbar after a reboot. Whats the best way to do this. I am rooted with xposed installed. Didnt want to install something that might screw something else up though. I tried to search but maybe i didnt describe it right.
The xposed module called notify clean helps.

Yup, the best thing is that it can hide specific notifications, not blanket block all from an app.

It works! Didn't have sound for a bit, but it's up and working now.
As for professing love in a manly way, it's a lot of fumbling my words and kicking the dirt and I stare at my feet. Oh, and I possibly offend you unintentionally.

LOL! I'm just happy with that thanks in the OP. :laugh: :good:
Thank you for this i like the GPE dialer instead of the sense one
I still use ExDialer, but would love to switch to GPE if I could get the same look out of it... black with dial-pad taking up less than half the space and at least 3.5 contacts from Call History showing at the top (plus swipe contact row right to call or left to txt).
Is any of that possible with any mods?
Thanks for this!
It's working for me with one small problem. The keypad doesn't seem to work in-call. Is this a known problem with a workaround?

My keypad works just fine during calls? What's your setup? Maybe try wiping app data via settings>apps>all and choose phone then clear data.
No dice. I had messed with trying to install GPE Dialer before finding this mod, so tomorrow I'll RUU and try it fresh to see how it goes.

Are you rooted? I'm running non-rooted stock Dev Edition ROM. Flashed the zip but new dialer does not show up. Still have Sense dialer and cannot find the GPE Phone icon in app drawer. I can see in the app in all Apps but no way to open the app.

I am rooted yes ... If sense still shows up means it didn't flash right... Or maybe disable sense phone app in settings>apps and reboot see if it shows up.
I'm having the same problem on Viper.

Keep in mind, it was buggy for me for about 5 minutes. Been working fine since.
I'll install one more time and give it a few hours. Is there any chance this is a problem for me because I'm on Verizon? Are dialer/phone mods like this carrier/radio agnostic?

McAfee

How in the hell do i get rid of McAfee on my LG G3 without root. I got my G3 today and i didnt know anything about this stupid McAfee app.
Its sucking my battery dry! I want rid of it guys.
Uhm, your phone came with McAfee? Without root, I don't think it's possible if it's bloatware. If you installed it yourself, then you would go to the app drawer, then drag it to the top of the screen, where an uninstall box would pop up.
Apparently it came with McAfee to stop unauthorised factory resets or something. But its sucking up my battery and i just want shot of it mate
Well that's really stupid, it needs to be up to the user to factory reset or not. Well I did some Googling, see if you can go to Settings>Apps>All Apps (You'll probably need to swipe right to get there), select McAfee and click Disable. I'm not on the stock rom anymore so I don't know if that's there, since some companies remove that option, but it's the same thing as Freezing an app.
Source: http://www.howtogeek.com/120599/6-things-you-dont-have-to-root-android-to-do-anymore/
Yeah McAfee is really annoying but i rooted and debloated it myself .
All sorted now fellas : flashed stock rom (which was a pain in the arse by the way!) lol soft bricked my phone once or twice until I figured out that the LG flash tool DOES NOT like USB 3.0! So I flashed stock, rooted using some devs script (thanks btw) installed twrp using flashify, installed root explorer and got rid of that rubbish McAfee lol

Good to hear it got sorted out
If you want an even more fluid experience, I'd recommend checking out some of the custom stock-based ROMs like CloudyG3 and ChupaChups ROM for an even better experience!
Thanks my friend! I have to admit, ive only got the 16gb (2gb) model. Stock rom is getting laggy etc. The only problem with 5.0 is (stupid I know) but I have my phone on silent 99.9999999999999999% of the time because I hate announcing to the world that someone's calling or texting me (defeats the object of a loudspeaker, I know, ive been grilled for this over on the Note 3 forums lol) but when I set my alarm to go off for work in the morning, I have to have my phone on loud otherwise my phone alarm won't go off, then I'll be late, then the boss will grill me etc. Its easier to stick with 4.4.2 because my alarm sounds whether my phone is on silent or not lol
How does AOSP look on a qHD display? Is their any 4.4/4.4.2 AOSP roms?

Where is it?

Color balance issues and a few others

I finally got my new OP3 but I've noticed some color shifting when tilting the phone. Is this normal? Also I need help with something else. I want to completely remove lockscreen wallpaper on oxygen OS, so that it shows my home screen wallpaper. I'm rooted and I've tried deleting the keyguard wallpaper files, but all it does is show me a black screen unlike on the OP2. Can someone help?
1) there is no colour shifting on my op3, do you have a tempered screen guard on your phone?
2) when on oxygen os launcher long press on empty area of your home screen and select the lock screen wallpaper from there. its annoying that everytime you have to switch to oneplus launcher to change lockscreen wallpaper.
Isn't it possible to straight up get rid of it? I remember doing it on the OP2. By uninstalling the keyguard wallpaper file in system/users. But it keeps coming back after a black screen... And about the color balance, it only appears if I tilt my phone, which I read is a common problem with AMOLED screens all over. Can you confirm?

The only way is to set the same wallpapers for homescreen and lockscreen, there is no way to get rid of the wallpaper so you'll have to do it manually.

I'm not seeing any colour issue when i tilt my phone also i dont have any lag on my phone. I'm on stock rom and kernel. I clean flashed the signed rom via twrp and flashed supersu after it. I didnt go through the initial setup process.

Double press power button to launch camera

Okay, call me crazy, but I am positive that that shortcut was not present before. I have the latest security patch, no root, no bootloader unlocked, no custom rom. I double pressed it and the camera launched. I don't know if it has to do with hiding the stock Sense Home screen via adb. I don't know what I did. I don't find a setting or anything in the entire system.

Viper10 has had that for a couple of months now. It's not the first time that HTC has had "inspiration" from what custom ROMs are offering.

Well, Nexus phones have had that for a while, Samsung too (with the home button). I just find it random that it randomly appeared on my 10, no mention of it anywhere.

Now that you mention it, I remember someone on the Viper10 thread requesting it, and saying it was available on Nexus. I have never owned a Nexus phone myself; only Nexus tablets; but the new Pixel line is certainly intriguing.

It's a nice feature, fastest camera shortcut, imo. Somehow, I am the only one to have it naturally. I asked LlabTooFeR on Twitter and he doesn't know about it, said it could be a "bug".

I don't know. It randomly appeared.
But Like I said, I hid the Sense Lock Screen for it to be replaced with the AOSP Lock screen. (no root, no boot unlocking, no tricks, no hacks)

Thing is, it works on any screen, any app. I'd tie it more to the Lock screen if it only worked there, but nope. Works everywhere. I can record a video to prove it.

Anyone successful with getting this to stock rom?
I have only tried some apps but don't work
Yeah, I read it somewhere, it's one of the effects of disabling the HTC Lockscreen. Having the stock Android Lockscreen enables that double press shortcut.
I have a question too though, does the fingerprint scanner work on the Stock Android Lockscreen?
Question: how do I disable this feature?

EDIT: That's where to do it on the Pixel devices. I don't remember exactly where on the HTC 10, but it should be something similar (my 10 is dead now, so....)
