Emergency alerts and video camera - Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers

Ok so if I get an emergency alert it stays up until I go into app settings and force stop it. When I restart it it makes the loud tone every time.
Also my camera doesn't give me the option to take video. I looked at another girls g5 and there was a bottom right next to the camera button.

In that screen shot your camera is in manual mode and that's why you don't have the video option. Switch to auto and you will have the video option. (three dots in the upper right)

Oh lol... Thank you. Any ideas on the emergency alert issues?

Not really, it's been awhile since I got one but if I recall just viewing it made it stop. Have you tried clearing the data/cache of the emergency alert app? or maybe a full system cache cleanup. Stock android recovery can do that. But really no clue if that would help or not.

Ok thanks. I feel kinda dumb now. I'm so used to stock vanilla Android. So ready for root.

I was looking for a way to force lte so I installed notification toggle and added the 4g button to status bar. Didn't do what I wanted, but when hitting the 4g toggle it brings me to this screen. Tried setting the preferred network type to lte only and toggling the radio but still had 3g as soon the radio turned back on. IBM want able to get to this screen any other way though. Anybody know anything about it or what the other options in there do?

Idk anything about your question but your first picture you may want to take down it has your IMEI number and phone number in it.

I can't say with enough certainty what you should/shouldn't change there.
But I would recommend you blackout your personal info before posting screen shots.
ie: IMEI,Phone #,etc
Not saying any xda members would be malicious, but that info can be seen by more than xda.

You can force LTE but there are some down sides.

Compass orientation off in new GMaps?

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Ever since updating Google Maps to the new version with the new UI, compass orientation is always wacky while in 3D mode. See the screenshot below to see what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what it looked like immediately after tapping the location button twice. Even worse, the map doesn't even pan in the direction the dot is facing half the time, but instead moves in the opposite direction.
This doesn't seem to be a problem while in navigation mode, but it is nonetheless annoying.
Apologize if someone already posted about this but I couldn't find one. I've only tested on Rootbox, but I've used many ROMs in the past and in my experience that has never made a difference.

Yep you are correct, mine has been the same. For example completing a whole roundabout before we even get there. Moving to a field even though we're on a marked road. Moving sideways whilst driving forward. Very weird!

as you can see image quality is not very good. My wife galaxy Ace did batter Picture. Second photo was taken by front camera and is much much better.
Try to reset your camera app settings or use an alternative app to check if the problem is with hardware or software.

Try cleaning the camera lens.

EDIT: Wait, do you mean that the picture is small and low quality? If so open the camera press the settings icon, scroll down until you see 'Resolution' then set it to the highest. Then scroll down and set the image quality to superfine.

Contact pictures not showing on screen for incoming/outgoing calls.

So I have upgraded my Note to MM. I now have a problem that my contacts pictures do not show on the phone screen during an incoming or outgoing call. If I minimize the screen the pictures shows. When I maximize it does not. Any clues? All I get is a white screen with the buttons.
Does anyone have any clues how I can fix this? I have cleared cache and also factory reset but all to no avail. Help!

Seems there may be a couple bugs with MM. My signal switches to 1x quite often too. Hmmm....

Well here is what I've found out. Apparantly this is a known issue per verizon.
Only fix at this time is to re pick your contact pictures then it works.
Just wanted to let everyone know.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA-Developers mobile app
Same..
Same thing here since the update. I hope it gets fixed, as it would be really annoying to have to reset ALL my contact photos. I wish it didn't drive me as crazy as it actually does I think I'll start with my favorites. Please help if anyone finds a fix.

N5 opening links in messages

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get my phone to stop opening links in the stock messages.
Rather than open it up in chrome (my preferred browser) it opens in a window inside messages and I have the option at the top to open in chrome if I choose.
Where is the setting to change that?
It opens up in a screen like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Currently, I don't think there's a way to change this other than hitting "more" then choose Open in Browser. I saw a thread on this a few months back but never saw a solution.
I thought mine didn't do it until I changed something. Idk I can't remember

For me, it started with the MM update
Ah, that's it! That's when it started. I didn't realize that until now. Thanks

It's not opening in Samsung browser. It's opening using "Android System Webview"
Freeze android system browser and the stock Internet browser.
I tried freezing that stuff but it didn't work.
