[Q] Camera Save To SD - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My camera app, keeps asking me to save to sd it happens randomly.
I always save to sd, but after a few days it would ask me again.

I know on older versions the G3 would keep asking me my preferences for default apps, you could try updating if possible. I'm on 5.0.1 version 20F and it doesn't happen anymore.

Ah okay, well that's true I guess. You could always dig around and see/ask if there's a way to fix it, someone may have accidentally or intentionally fixed it or patched it in a custom ROM, anything's possible, it seems to be just the phone not remembering on reboot your preferences, which most likely comes down to a single file that has preferences stored somewhere.

[Q] Need help ASAP unlocked R800x is auto updating!

Currently 35% downloaded. Is there any way to cancel the install phase? I was not prompted and cannot stop the download. I hope others aren't next, I tried various tricks when I first rooted to break my communication with the OTA update but obviously that didn't work.

Probably too late now 20 minutes later, but you could always pull the battery. That will buy you a little time. Then you could fastboot boot the recovery from the dev forum, access your phone with adb, and delete the update application apks from the system.
Quick uodate, I was able to postpone the update with the remind me later option I was given. Luckily it asked me at some point but my issue is still there, how do I get rid of this uodate pest? Renamint the ota-certs.zip file isn't enough because I did that a while ago.
I will try that when I get home. Is this system updates apk something I can get to from root explorer? I would love to end while I'm still at work.
Thanks Mills! I used Titanium backup to back the system-update.apk to my SD and then removed it from internal. The option to update disappeared in Settings. I out it back just to make sure I fixed it, the update option reappeared so I removed it again and now it's over. Thanks so much for helping me in the clutch. Felt like my phone had a bomb strapped to it. Oh and in Titanium I deleted the app data just to be safe and remove that update. Hopefully this info gets around so no one else is surprised.

Looks like I was wrong, the phone updated while I was busy at work and is now not turning on. With my lady at home expecting anytime I was in a catch 22, do I turn the phone off and try and help it's safety or do I do what apears to have worked. Well I had faith in what I did and now have to revert back to a crapberry. I'm calling Verizon out on this one, there is no good excuse for me to HAVE to had updated and it shouldn't be a complex procedure to say no to any updates.
Mobile Care is the app to delete or freeze on a R800x to prevent ota updating.
Thanks a MILLION for that tip markcyst. I unbricked my phone so now I will be deleting "mobile care".

U can try to reinstall the latest update available for your tablet using LG Suite by clicking update even if no new updates are available I think!
U have the Verizon lte one! I don't know what is the latest firmware for yours, but it should work normally! I don't think you'll lose any files if u don't factory reset, but I'm not sure about this! You'll lose root if you were rooted when u upgrade recovery using LG Suite!
If u are rooted, use titanium backup for backup and easy restore.
And if u have root working for your tablet, then flash a custom recovery if u don't have one and find the latest uploaded LG official KitKat firmware in the development sections and flash it!
Does it happen when you are using a chromecast? When I use play music through the chromecast I was having a similar problem. I am on 4.4.2 with a v500

If this starts to occur and you recently did an upgrade recovery, you should have also done a factory reset after wards. Having recently upgrade recoveried in the LG Tool, I had a nasty loop of system ui has failed that I could only fix by also factory resetting the device.
Incidentally this does seem to occasionally still occur when I use the physical volume buttons with my chromecast.
I have this using chromcast. I have found an easy fix! Just say "ok google "(if u have enbaled it everywhere) and it fixes it!

New update?

Is anyone else getting prompted for a system update? I'm rooted so I don't want to install. Update is 154.6 MB.
UPDATE: DO NOT install the update if you don't have stock recovery. You will end up in a boot loop.

Installed update
Hey guys I just installed the update and it broke my root :cyclops:
Were you able to root again?
Apparently it's D85110m update. So it's updating from D85110c to m. The person that I saw that updated hadn't rooted so no clue on the rooting thing.
Count me in the group with system update notification. I got rid of it by installing xposed module GravityBox, going under status bar settings - ongoing notification blocker - Google Play services (picture looks like that of update) - reboot.
I don't know what other notifications this may block, but for now, it gets rid of that. Also of note, I would NOT take the OTA. Usually it breaks root and/or bootloops you.
HELP
So in my half awake brilliance, I installed the update. My phone is now boot cycling to the TWRP recovery. Any ideas?

I haven't tried to re-root yet. I was rooted with stump root earlier. Stump root doesn't work again because it thinks that my phone is already rooted. I'm going to do some light battery tests before trying to root again, this time with purple drake.
Maybe i might restore the slimkat alpha and hide there until this gets sorted out
I decided not to update to fear my bootloader/root so I tried to extract this with file manager and kept crashing. I can only post the name of the file but above users are correct contains 10m from 10c hopefully devs can find out exactly what's in the update. b1847cae892006ffa11c6822a408fe8528142a54.D85110c_00-D85110m_00_update.zip

I believe so yes. But if you are truly bootlooping, I don't believe you have many (if any) other choices than wiping clean and starting fresh.
I'm all stock so I upgraded.
It is in fact D85110m
I've only had it up and running for a few minutes and I already noticed two things.
- There is a slider feature added to the lock screen to instantly open the camera.
- I didn't think the phone was sluggish or laggy out of the box but I immediately could tell it runs smoother now with transitions between screens/apps. e.g. There used to be a bit of lag when opening the Recent Apps. Not anymore.
We'll see how it goes.
The IR blaster works better for me now. I guess the update made it more powerful somehow.
if you have twrp installed or have modified /system you should not take this OTA. if on twrp things will get weird(as evidenced above..) and if removing/modding any default files in /system the zip will most likely fail.. as it checks for all original files first before the OTA update gets patched in.
as for the twrp issue.. I can only assume that it's due to the update/phone expecting stock recovery... and not getting it. there are flags set in the phone that tell the phone what mode to boot into... since you dont have stock recovery the phone is confused. check out this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
the fota and misc partitions are tied to this... try to zero out fota first. if that alone doesnt let you out of twrp... you may need to wipe misc. be sure to backup any partition to computer(dont just save on phone sdcard.. never know when it could get wiped..) before erasing anything.
as for this update(10m)... anyone taking it should be careful that the bootloader/downgrades have not been locked/blocked. I'll be waiting for others to take that risk first before even considering taking the ota.
*update* can confirm update is safe.. bootloader is not locked.. still rootable.
as for root... I doubt purple drake is blocked.. but is possible. I'm very sure Stump is still available as an option(tho app may need update).
if you got the update and dont want to take it.. and want the notification gone you should be able to use a file explorer to delete the update zip from the the /cache directory... as well as rename the LGFOTA.apk file in /system to LGFOTA.apk.bak.
I can also confirm that disabling OTA updates in the hidden menu works. the moment I set it back to "on" (i set mine to off day 1) and rebooted the update came in.
d851 hidden menu > wlan test > ota setting > off > reboot (if you have been notified of an available update do NOT reboot until you have deleted the ota zip first)

[SOLVED] Marshmallow SD card write access

Hi, I have tried a Cyanogenmod 13 on my M8 dual sim and it installed and run fine.
Well, until I tried to install my gps offline navigation apps.
Without full access to the sd card they will not install.
Is there any way enable write access?
Titanium Backup worked with a setting change and ES explorer also has access. But how?
Formatting to internal is not an option.
I am back to Lollipop for now.
Thanks.
Some navigation apps makes Problem with write access
Er? Isn't that what I said? So what's the solution then?

Write privileges need to be granted on a per-app bases now. Try going into Settings>Apps, finding the app in question, and go to Permissions, and see if you can toggle "on" the Storage toggle.

Hi, I would give that a try if I could get the app installed. Problem is that the app will not install as it say it cant find the sd card.
I may try installing via Titanium Backup then fixing after.
What I was really hoping for is a fix like "just let me give access to everything because its my phone"

This sounds like a problem with the app and its developer, more than anything. The app apparently hasn't been properly updated for the requirements of Marshmallow, a version that has been around for over 5 months; so the app developer has had ample time to do so.

Such a hack would be a bad from a security standpoint. The very point of app-by-app granting of permissions is to prevent rogue apps from accessing permissions and data that they aren't supposed to. Compartmentalization is a good thing.

I can see that for 'average Joe' but for me that should be my decision, thats why I would never use a locked non rooted phone.
Still looking for a fix. I am sure it will come soon.
Otherwise happy to stay on (unrestricted) lollipop for now.
Hi,
so the greatness of XDA does it again.
on Cyanogenmod 13 Marshmallow on my M8 dual sim
loaded ExtSD_Fix from twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/fix-extsd-fix-v1-0b-2016-01-18-t3296266
and also XInternalSD from Tasker from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-disablesignaturecheck-t2789267/
and full access and control of MY SDcard.
Not sure if I needed both of these but, hey, its all working fine now.

Very unusual "system data" storage behaviour!

I have a completely stock phone & I was using nova launcher from day one but I turned back to the default launcher today and noticed a strange data in the 'shelf'. It was showing that I have low %age of storage left. At first I thought it must be a bug but then after some time I checked the storage in settings and thereafter confirmed this using the app "DiskUsage".
Could anyone help me out here? Kindly have a look at the screenshot I'm attaching.
In short, System data is using 27.3 GB of storage!!!
I suspect it may be due to the flash that I did some time back when I returned to complete stock from a rooted OnePlus 3. Though I followed the official website instructions.
Thanks guys for reading this message & I know someone out there will know about this as I'm not that lucky to encounter a completely unique bug :good:

Latest build should fix this.. If not do a clean install and stay on the latest build. Also if the issue persists try to move to EXT4. F2fs still has loads of weird issues..

Well, I got my latest .5 update yesterday and sadly it didn't solve it so I guess I have to format my phone again. Man, that's really a pain in the A. By the way, is this a common occurrence in OnePlus 3 software?
As far as ext and f2fs is concerned, I don't remember manually formatting my phone to f2fs so I guess it was nougat update which did this!
Thanks man!

Don't know... I haven't seen this issue yet..
hmm, I'll wait till the O update for a clean install as setting up few particular apps (mostly banking & two-factor authentication) is really a boring/huge task for me, plus few apps have just NO backup solution like the now-defunct but awesome keyboard Fleksy, Adguard user filters. I really think Android needs a good global backup function to sync basic things like android settings, SMS, Call logs.
Meanwhile, if anyone know a solution which doesn't include formatting the phone, please do tell me !

I dont really have a clue about titanium backup. Used it once way back when I had Galaxy Note 1.
I remember, it's UI was very complex and had a big learning curve but despite all this, isn't titanium backup a root only app?

Sorry to break it to you but even Rom Settings Backup is root only
but thank you for telling me about this app, may come in handy if I go back to root.
and yes, I did know about the SMS and call log backup, I'm more concerned about the few specific apps like Fleksy keyboard app.
Thank you for your reply.
