Hey All,
I'm S-Off, running SinLess GPE ROM, and neither of the shortcuts to take a screenshot (power + vol down, power + home) work.
The developer and others using this ROM say there's no problem, so I must have a problem somewhere else, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it could be.
And PLEASE don't tell me I'm doing it wrong, I had an HTC One XL before this and am well aware of how to take a screenshot, and honestly played with every combination and delay of button pressing possible before asking.
The only way I've managed to take a screenshot is by assigning it to "long press back," but that's not really a solution (it just tells me that at least the phone is capable of taking a screenshot!!)
Hi,
I just got my G3 today and entered 3845#*XXX# to switch off thermal throttling. I happened to see a test mode and clicked it. My phone reboots into a MiniOS with lots of options. First option is the only one which I can interact with using the touch screen and it is an automatic test of the touch screen. Volume keys do not work.
On pulling the battery out and powering on, it boots to the test mode.
Tried recovery (Vol- and power key) confirmed the prompts, the phone switches off after showing the little android loading logo, flashes the LG logo and boots into this test mode(MiniOS) again.
I thought the test mode will be like something that HTC and Samsung have, didn't expect it to be like that. Kindly help! I've been searching the internet but haven't found a solution to this. I spotted some other threads for another LG device that happened to automatically go into this mode but those tools and methods won't work here.
Thank you.
Edit:
I found a thread on xda for the G2 with the same thing that's happened to my phone. Unfortunately a solution wasn't posted there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535768
It's more accurately called the All Auto Test
Edit2:
In searching All Auto Test on Google i happened to come through a link which might have a simple fix (if I'm understanding the members English right)
It says to press the power key on the LG logo and a prompt will ask if you'd like to switch it back to normal mode. I'm gonna try this once I reach home. Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613404

Quoting the members post from that thread:
After 4 days with my LG G2 stuck in FTM All Auto Test FTM Mode, i dound the way to get out this f*** **** status !
Presss on normal boot menu and hold power button, then a popup will show up and ask you to confirm to switch from Factory Test Mode to Normal mode, just select ok, and
huray, it's normal again

I switched on with power key, left it when the LG logo came and hit power key again, but that doesn't work. It goes to miniOS again.
Unlike the G2 mentioned above, I don't have a notif bar on top and I don't see a wallpaper and navigation bar.
Okay, I figured it out. Thanks to member goldenfish
So what he means is when in ATT mode, only the first option is selectable by touch, to select the other options you hold power key and then tap the options. So there was an option which makes the device turn "MiniOS> Normal Boot". I did just that and my g3 booted *phew
It's all stock now tho, maybe because of the factory reset I tried earlier, but at least it's out of the damn thing!

Hi.
I am stuck in minios on my lg g3 d855 and can't get out using the instructions you supply.
could you please elaborate on what to do and what you mean by 'touch' while holding power.
I have tried everything and can't seem to bring anything up to touch, to be able to normal boot out of minios :crying:
thank you.

If your phone keeps booting to the miniOS, you;d see a bunch of options. Now when trying to open/access an option only the first one will respond to your touch. Others will just show a crosshair where you tapped on the screen. To open/access/activate other options you need to hold the power key first and then tap the screen. This will allow you to access a option called boot(which switches your phone from miniOS to normal boot)
I was stuck in this stupid mode messing around too. Thanks for the tip on how to get out!
Please help me

Another idiot stuck in test mode
I was in Europe and my LG G3 kept shutting off, so i got a new LG G3 855 while traveling.
Worked fine in Europe.
When i got home, i noticed i didn't have 4G showing, so, like a fool went and tried to become a techie......:crying:
So where i am ....
when i boot the phone, i see the LG logo, then it goes into a minios logo with 5 blue arrows.
After that wherever i touch on the screen is just a red circle with a + sign.
I have seen folks talking about getting into a minios menu but all i see is the red +
any magic out there?

You should be able to simply hit the Power button, but if you're on a frozen screen, press and hold the Power button, then select "Normal Boot".

Hi there -
Just got an LG G3 a few days ago and am enjoying the process of getting acquainted with it. One of the features that I really like is the ability to quickly launch the camera or the quick memo when the phone is off by long pressing the volume down or volume up buttons. The camera one is handy, but I'd love to change the other one to something other than the quick memo.
Was wondering if by chance someone might have developed a fix that would allow you to change the app that launches when long pressing the volume up and/or down. I'm guessing that I can't be the only person who's had this thought -- hopefully someone's thought of this who actually knows enough to make it happen.
Thanks!

I use G3 Tweakbox (in the Play Store). It lets you customize just about anything on the phone. You have to be rooted for it to work.
Hi, i just updated my phone to Nougat, and i miss the feature of long pressing the recent apps button that gives me a menu button (MM feature?). Is it possible to activate that again? It seems to be replaced with split window feature. In addition, in the display settings, in the buttons section enables the menu button. Does that only show the menu (three dots) button on apps only? (has nothing to do with the capacitive buttons on the phone?)
Thank you for reading this, look forward to a reply
Before Nougat:
Choose from the options: Always open recent apps. Press for menu, press and hold for recent apps. Press for recent apps, press and hold for menu.
After Update:
Display options - buttons- menu button
holding the button on the right to open up split screen is a feature of nougat.
I knew of the feature to hold the button down to bring up a menu, but im guessing it wasnt widely utilised, hence its removal.
There may be a way, using root, to change what the button does, but I wouldnt know how. Someone else probably does though.

Hey thats a bummer, i loved that feature! i not really fond of the split screen feature, its not really that useful to me.
Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully, ill flash a custom rom on this phone soon.
This is bull****! They could at least give us a choice of choosing what does the button do. Now I will have to install a custom rom to get back that menu button
Can someone who has a Twitter account describe this menu button issue to Graham Wheeler or Mo Versi ?
We`ll get a better chance of them fixing it then.
