LG G8s not charging via wireless - LG G8 Questions & Answers

Hi,
my LG G8s is not charging via wireless anymore :/
I am on the latest update provided by LG (android 10). I already tried two different wireless chargers which worked flawlessly before. I did a factory reset a few days ago. After the factory reset wireless charging worked. But it stopped working again. I think it stopped working after I did app updates for all the apps which are preinstalled. There is also an app device health services from google which has something to do with the battery. I tried to disable (get it back to stock status) but that didn't help.
Do you know something that could get me back on wireless charging again?

Nevermind. It's working again. After only charging via cable since the problem occurred it miraculously works again. Of course I tried every two days or so, but it didn't work. Well now it does again. Don't know how. Didn't change anything in the settings or something else....

[Q] wifi disconnects after 10 sec. when battery is bellow 70%

Hi All.
Having a weird problem here with My wifi om my new galaxy note 8 (n5110). After updating to latest software version i loose wifi connection after about 10 seconds but only if battery level is 70 or bellow. If the charger is plugged in wifi works perfectly again. What could be the reason for this?

I assume you did not do a factory reset after doing the firmware update to 4.4.2
Once you do that it will clear your settings for the 4.4.2 to operate properly. You will need to sync your settings, via google / samsung cloud or kies.
Google should download your apps once you complete the initial setup, so be sure to complete all the setup when the screens are available.
Some apps may need to be restored from backup or installed from where ever you got them.
Thank you very much for your reply sir. I did a factory reset after the update, still the same behaviour. Tried resetting again with no change.
After a third restore, the problem seems to have solved itself.

WiFi on the G3 headaches [SOLVED]

I just got an LG G3 last friday (Black Friday) on T-Mobile (got tired of Sprint). Anyway for the most part this phone has been great. A minor glitch with a game (possibly from porting it's data over from my S3). The main problem I have is with the WiFi.
First off WiFi calling sucks. If I don't have 3 or more bars on my WiFi connection the call gets fuzzy. During one call that was clear it just randomly dropped. So that isn't cool.
Secondly, if I connect to a WiFi network at home or work or where-ever and then go somewhere else and come back or go to another place with a network I want to connect to it won't connect at all. It will show all the networks and give me the option to connect. But instead of connecting it will try to connect for a long while and then just give up. I cannot get connected again until I reboot.
I have tried the suggestions found on this thread (and other places): http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/lg-g3-wifi-issues-t2829811
No luck with those suggestions. Which include the following:
Turn off and back on the wifi radio.
Disabling the "wifi signal is weak" option.
Disabling the battery saving for wifi.
Forgetting the network (my network list was automatically imported from my Google account).
Installing the "WiFi Manager" app and enabling the 5GHz channels (US) and changing 2.4GHz channels to "Complete".
Made sure that "Internet unavailable" option is disabled.
Made sure that "Keep Wi-Fi on when screen is off" is set to "Yes".
Disabling NFC.
Disabling BlueTooth.
Disabling Wi-Fi calling.
I don't have problems with a weak signal. So I am perplexed. My Samsung Galaxy S3 worked just fine on these networks. Restarting always seems to allow me to connect again. But I shouldn't have to restart every time I want to connect to WiFi.
All of my other wireless devices connect just fine in the household (a PS3, my fiance's Moto X, my old S3, MacBook Pro, Lenovo Windows 8 laptop, an HP running Ubuntu 14.10, and another Lenovo running Ubuntu 13.04).
Why is an older model phone doing so much better than the G3? Both phones are rooted (old and new). Does anyone have a fix? My phone is currently running LG's factory rom "D85110m". That is with Android 4.4.2 (my old S3 is on a cyanogen rom of the 4.4.x series as well).
Please help me fix this. Otherwise I might return it for an S5.
Thanks!
**** Update ****
Per my below post, it seems I have fixed my problem. I ended up doing two factory resets, unrooted, and did a final factory reset to fix the problem. Then I switched to the PurpleDrake method to root it the second time (and it worked really well without any issues).
Good luck everyone!
**** End of Update ****
Try to factory reset the phone. I don't know what version you are on but I assume its 10m

It is on 10m. Do I need to unroot before I do the factory reset? I have never had to do one before.
So it appears that doing a factory reset does not fix it. I guess I am taking it back and having them replace it. And I will demand it be a brand new one since I just got this phone a little over a week ago.
SOLVED!!!!
Ok, so I finally got it fixed. Albeit accidentally as I didn't expect it to be fixed at this point.
Here is what I ended up doing:
Two factory resets.
Unrooted the phone (via these instructions: http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html).
One last factory reset at T-Mobile store by me (because they forced me to).
The wifi did not start working correctly again until after that very last factory reset that I did. The unroot process also does a factory reset. But, and this may be key, it downgraded my phone to 10c from 10m in the process. I then did an OTA to 10m after the final reset.
I unrooted it because T-Mobile's diag software detected it was rooted and said that made the warranty invalid. And after I unrooted it I took the phone back to the store and demonstrated the problem to the employee that sold me the phone in the first place. He tested it for about 10 minutes and came to the same conclusion as myself. He then had to go to his manager to approve the replacement.
They got out the new phone to replace it with then the manage told me that he was required to have us to one more factory reset. So I went into the settings on the phone and did one last reset. And for some reason, since this point, the wifi problem has gone away.
I think it is possible that something I did to the phone caused the problem in the first place. But since I did so much to it in the first few days (rooted and installed a ton of apps) I am not entirely sure. My two current theories are it was either caused by this malware infected flashlight app I installed that kept popping up the Play Store to install a particular app. Or it was caused by the rooting method I used.
The original rooting method I used was "Stump Root". So the second time around I used the PurpleDrake method. This is a tiny bit more tedious, but very effective and it didn't seem to break anything. Further, when I installed TWRP I made sure that I grabbed the recommended image for it that is specifically for the US T-Mobile LG G3 device and installed that using Flashify.
After I got it safely rooted I tested the crud out of it and it seems to be working fine.
One last thought. It is possible that somehow Titanium backup caused the problem when I restored text and call logs. But I seriously doubt it.
Anyway, if anyone has any questions for me about this please shoot me a message. I am more than happy to help.
Thanks,
Patrick

AndroidAuto not working post April security update

Have been using AA past 6 month it's was flawless post April update it got broken treid with several cables . No help even reseted mobile to factory settings and tried with only ANDROID auto app installed no use. Also tried resetting the car unit still android auto not launching was able to charge only mobile
work fine for me with april update
Having the same issue with my Pixel 2 since the June update. Have tried everything except resetting the phone and nothing works.
I've had this same issue since last Sunday, after taking June update on Saturday. It had worked fine up to that point as well.
I've downgraded AA, tried multiple cables, USB debug on/off, manually swapping USB configuration and a factory reset. Stock Rom, no mods either.
Same result every time, as though the head unit doesn't recognize the USB connection. Oddly, I'm still getting battery charging with the connection though.
Head unit recognizes other devices immediately too.
Anyone have any luck getting this resolved?

TMobile Losing Signal

I recently got a P3XL from B&H. It was Android 9 out of the box. The first thing I did was unlock the bootloader. Then I fully upgrade to Android 11 with May and rooted with the latest Magisk (v23). I want to use it as a secondary WAN for my home internet using USB tethering. I installed a battery charge app to keep it at 80% and set to auto USB tether in developer tools. Everything seems fine, but it loses signal every hour. Only a reboot is able to get signal back. I tried toggling airplane mode, mobile data, disabling all battery saver options, clearing network, clearing cache, and changing SIM. The data seems to last longer when I uninstalled Magisk, but It still goes out. My Nexus 5 has been going strong with this setup for years. I also tried using Automate to reboot when it loses signal, but sometimes the phone justs shuts down after the reboot command. Next Ill try: factory reset, flash image (if uninstalling Magisk left stuff), change line SIM, check mobile data when not usb tethered, convert to eSIM, or make a keep alive script. Any other suggestions is appreciated. I hope I dont have to exchange/return it. Thanks.
I recently picked one of these up and I'm having trouble with dropped signal as well. I have to airplane mode to get any signal at all when it happens. I'm thinking about flashing the factory image with the radio to see if that helps, did you find another solution?

Where did you puchase yours?
Swappa, I'm looking at a OnePlus 6T instead.
I finally got it working. I think my issue is the long use of USB tethering. On the latest Android 11 and 10 images, it would lose signal after an hour or so. Signal is restored when I disconnect it from USB. It works as expected with the latest Android 9 image. Mobile signal was still connected overnight with USB tethering enabled. It sucks that it will be two versions of Android behind. Im not sure if it was a security month patch or the baseline that nerfed USB tethering, but I dont plan to try each Android 10/11 image. I sent feedback to Google and hopefully it will be fixed by the final update for this phone. Ill try it again when the final image is released.
