LG OSP (On Screen Phone) on the Nitro

Soooo......
Has anybody tried this little nifty feature LG has given us? I think it's a neat gem that LG has included on their phones, allowing us to control our phones on the PC via wireless, bluetooth, or usb connections. As you can see in the screenshot, it looks exactly as though you are on your phone, except you control it using the mouse and type using a physical keyboard. This way, you can leave the phone charged somewhere away from the pc, and yet you still can do things on the phone when necessary, or reply text messages or browse through files.
I'm sure there's many more things we can do with this, I just have to research into them Let me know if any of you have been playing around with it.

Something interesting, I can use the feature to control the phone to take pictures remotely. Unfortunately, you cannot see what you are taking a picture off until you actually click on the trigger an a sample is shown to you (first screenshot). Apparently, it doesn't support moving images (like live picture taking, or video recording, or playing videos), but at least for now, you can use it as a remote trigger
And just to show you guys some more screenshots, here it is on the browser.
Oh and btw, the image doesn't do justice to the size of the on screen feature. Of course it is being compressed and resized since it's uploaded here. To give you some sense on how big it is, here is a screenshot of my whole screen (1920x1200) with the program running somewhere in the middle of the screen.

Very interesting. I've never seen that feature on any youtube review, or anything about the Nitro on the net.
The screenshot in your first post, is that how your phone looks like exactly? Is that Go Launcher with ICS theme? What folder app are you using? Thanks!

No no, it's real ICS running LOL! Could u imagine if what I just said was true? haha...Yeah, it is Go Launcher with ICS theme on it. I was bored and decided to use the ICS theme.
The folder app is called Application Folder

Lol ICS today would have made my day!

Looks great. Where do you get it?

You can download the pc software here
(If link is still dead, download it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ac1a5bj1tg25d2j )
The website is this: http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/LG-P930.jsp under resources, look for On-Screen phone under Downloads. (Apparently, LG has undergone a site reconstruction and in the process removed the link to OSP, so unless they decided to put it back on the site, you will no longer see it there)
Once installed, the program will guide you on how to get it working, but basically, on the phone, you want to go to Setting > Connectivity > On-Screen Phone Settings.
Enable On-Screen Phone and set your password.
This program seems to be a bit finicky at times, and you can lose connection to it and not be able to connect at all for more than a few minutes. I'm sure there will be updates in the future.

aquiariuz,
Your link isn't working for me and I can't find the OSP stuff on the LG website at all. Any other info?

OSP
Anyone using this noticed if it eats up ram or slows down your phone? I am hesitant to try it out.

It looks like LG has pulled the download from their site since you posted the original link. I can't find it anywhere.
I even chatted with an LG rep earlier and they couldn't provide it. Actually, the idiot thought I was asking about a phone update and kept telling me their wasn't an update for the Nitro at this time.
Aquariuz... can you provide the file here?

Just downloaded from this link: LG_OSP2.0_Setup_2.0.05.20111012.exe
22.4mb file

link
Try this csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/MOBILESYNC/GO/QOSP.2.0.08.20120130/LGOnScreenPhone/AutoRun/LGOSP_Setup.exe

Sorry for the late reply guys. Got home really late from work tonight.
So it seems right after I posted the thread, LG decided to revamp their site and changed the whole structure and layout of it. I'm guessing they probably had temporarily removed it from the site and has yet to re-add it back. I don't believe something is wrong with the application itself since actually On Screen Phone software has been around for a while and available on almost all LG phones.
Anyways, since the link is now down, please use the following link, I've uploaded the copy I downloaded:

Mdkrush, like i've mentioned, this is something you use when you do not want to be handling your phone, like when it is charging somewhere across the room, or you'd rather type your sms/IMs using a physical keyboard rather than the touch key, etc. Obviously it will eat up Ram and slows down the phone a bit, that is just normal when you are technically making the phone stream itself onto your computer monitor.

Thanks for the links guys. And thanks for updating Aquariuz. However, I'm not able to get it to detect my phone.
Also, does the phone have to remain unlocked? Or can I lock the phone to avoid having the display drain the battery?
edit: I got it working and learned the hard way that the program is simply a display for the phone. Unfortunately you cannot lock your phone and still use it on the computer. It only shows EXACTLY what your phone is doing. Anyone know of a way around this?
I ask because when I'm working in the field I sometimes use the SlingPlayer app while having the phone on a signal booster. Even with the phone hooked up to a charger it still drains faster than the charger can keep up. I guess it's because of the HD display on this phone? Or maybe there's a problem with the battery/phone?

Do you mean having the phone's screen off while using OSP on the computer? Unfortunately it won't work that way Allstar. When you unlock the phone in OSP, it also awakens the phone. Like u said, it shows exactly what your phone is doing.
My only suggestion is having the brightness on the lowest to conserve energy. It will not affect the brightness on your computer though.

I've thought the same thing about turning the brightness all the way down. Unfortunately the screen still Burns a lot of power.
I wish there was a way to keep apps running and turn the display off.

The only company I know that does that is Nokia lol. I remember having one of their smartphones connected to the computer, and I can almost do everything the phone can do via the computer. It was awesome lol.

Well I guess if I can just tether my internet connection to the laptop I won't need to run Slingplayer on the phone. You can tether with the phone locked right?

Mi Band and Tasker - Help populate this post
1. Tracking Mi Band with Tasker using time log-file
The process for this is two-fold: create a profile that notes when the Mi Band is disconnected; then create a task runs, logging each time to a txt file.
Step 1: Create profile monitoring Bluetooth
- Create new profile > State > BT Connected
- Click the magnifying glass to show a list of currently connected devices
- Select the band (probably called "MI")
- Click the "Invert" box (so that it monitors when it's disconnected rather than connected).
Step 2: Create task to log times
- When you exit from the profile, it asks for a task to run - select "New Task"
- In this task set an action to Write File > select a text file to write to; under text type in "%TIME"; tick APPEND; tick NEW LINE
That's it. Now the text file will begin to be populated as the band is connected/disconnected naturally through the day. If ever you discover the band missing, you can track back to roughly when it happened - not foolproof, but better than nothing!

Thanks for sharing! Very useful since downloads from the original site cost experience.
Btw, did you try installing that? I tried the Notify version, but it keeps crashing at launch. Luckily I had a backup of the previous version and data, so I was able to restore to 1.2.631 which works well on my stock, only rooted Nexus 5.

Mi band step counting very inaccurate
Am I the only one or the step counting is very inaccurate. While sitting down It has measured 500 steps....is it just mine or is this what usually what happens

It's not just you... i feel that is using the hand movement to count steps... so if you are sitting down and move your hand like a pendul it's like a step... i think this is the power of a 13$ fitness band... maybe in time it will be better... i have mine for about a week but i wasn't paying attention until u brought it...cheers

Thanks for the reply! I have tested while walking and the app records accurately but while sitting down it also records movement as steps!!!

This is the point: if you use it as expected, the count (both in steps and in meters) is very accurate. While doing anything else involving many hands movements, the band often detects steps though.
A partial solution is not to wear your Mi Band on the hand you use most. Some have tried wearing it on the neck as well, but I think it's too cumbersome.
I'm afraid we'll have to settle for the poor accuracy this band features, it's still a pretty useful and well made gadget for the price

But they say the band is designed to be worn 24/7 so they must have known that people do indeed, walk about......
If this can't be fixed and the band will miscount steps when driving / sitting it makes it's entire purpose useless. And if so, even at $13/£20 this piece of junk is overpriced.

I wouldn't necessarily call this a piece of junk, it works exactly the same as any other pedometer. They're all based on movement, they can't tell if you're running our if you're just moving your hands wildly so it has to make an intelligent guess that you're walking.
You could spend over a hundred dollars on a Fit Bit and you're going to end up with the same results. I wore both the MiBand and a FitBit on my same arm for 2 days and at the end of each day the step counters were within 100 steroids of each other. They were both working as intended.
Maybe you have unreasonable expectations of what a pedometer can do, or maybe you just don't like having to wear one on your wrist, either way you could have spent a lot more money and ended up with the exact same result. So I guess it's good you only spent $17 instead of over $100 on something else.

I wouldn't said it better, Devo7v.
I am more than happy with mine and after a lot of testing, I find it pretty accurate. More than my previous 100euros sony smartband.
In another subject I recommend the smartband strap for the Mi band core, it fits quite well (I go to the pool with that setup) and I find it classier for a man.

What exactly would we be limiting here?
I have the same issue. Personally I don't think it's the cause of my battery issues though but I'll rather knock off all the possibilities before standing behind that claim.
I have a feeling yfbc and myself have an awake time that accounts for a good chunk of time. But everything in BBS and WD are saying that things are fine. Best part is that the totals in the wakelock sections don't even add up to the total awake time. Ghost wakelocks ?

LG G4 H811 Kernal 3.10.49 Build LMY47D Software H81110d
Is anyone else having a problem getting their G4 to go into Download Mode?
Mine simply will not do it. It boots into the T-Mobile screen and then the home screen.
(I know how to go into Download Mode. I've owned G2 & G3 with custom ROM's.)
I've even tried other volume/power button combinations, to no avail.

I had issues before too. What you're suppose to do is hold the volume up button ONLY.
And then plug in the USB. You do not touch the power button at all to boot it back up. It should turn on, on it's own after plugging in the USB.

Thanks for your response Spartan268, but that is exactly what I did. I only mentioned the Power button because I also tried that possibility. I had a G2 and a G3 with custom ROM's and custom recovery. So I was aware of the documented method used to go into download mode. But it doesn't work.

This (Energy) Control Widget
This widget is afaik stock. At least it is on my Nexus 5. Haven't found it on my LG G4. I really do like it. How can I copy it? I do have root and Titanium Backup. Now I just need to know the name and back it up & restore, right?
Anyone any idea on the name or how to find out?

What about
Code:
adb shell reboot download
? Something else that I have tried many times and works but you might not be willing to try is using a one-click root method for the LG G3 (on G3 general thread) . It will not root the G4 or affect it in any way but will manage to put the G4 into Download mode.

Android 5.1 doesn't give user installed apps write access to the SD card, only apps that were pre installed on your phone can write to the SD card. You can give some user installed apps write access through document provider, but not all apps offer this option.
I wonder if we converted user installed apps to system apps in titanium backup if they would then have access to the SD card?

It used to work before, so not sure what happened, probably on google's side I guess? Also yesterday I went and emptied my trash on photos and it let me delete some more pictures. I also remember the app asked me to give it permission to write to the SD card when I installed it.

SDFix in the Play store will grant everything write permission to the SD card. I'm not sold that it's a good idea yet, but I'm using it for now.
Did Google Photos get an update? It may be a problem in Google's end. I've been noticing a lot of their apps are updating frequently.

I'm pretty much settled on my upgrade being the G4 and I should be able to pick it up on Friday.
I had a play about in an EE store on Monday and one of my niggles is the notification pull down. It's hideous. I like my notification pull down to be pretty discrete and minimalistic.
Is it themable and how configurable is what appears there? Do I have to have sliders for brightness and volume?

You can turn off the brightness and volume sliders. But I don't know of options for theming, etc. At least not on my Verizon model.

Samsung's Good Lock

Pros: You can almost get it looking like stock android (which is why i'm keeping it), Notification layout is nice.
Cons: Battery dies faster, Widgets/Apps Tray layouts are useless for me. Recent apps layout is worse.

Tried it......for 5 minutes i prefer being able to use samsung themes like 'blue and black AMOLED' theme. Good Lock does not have a black option in routine options

Hmm . I like it more. Haven't had any battery is issues yet.

Only issue i encountered is it doesnt easily explain Uninstall.
1. You can just drag drop the Icon from the AD to uninstall and
2. You cannot find the app in Applications to Uninstall
3. You have to go to settings and uninstall from there.
4. Once you uninstall, remember to Restart your device as soon as possible.
5. If not restarted, your power button would stop working and the only way to get it back is by a Hard Reboot (Power + Volume Down).
Hope this helps people looking in to this.
Other than that, had no Battery Drain Issues and it worked fluidly. Did find the "Ignore Repetitive Notification" that I dismiss without looking in messages Annoying and sadly, if by mistake I did say so for specific ones (Work Email and Whatsapp), it stopped showing the message notification all together.

Did find the "Ignore Repetitive Notification" that I dismiss without looking in messages Annoying and sadly, if by mistake I did say so for specific ones (Work Email and Whatsapp), it stopped showing the message notification all together.

You don't have "System UI" With the Good Lock Icon as high drainage in your battery stats?

Sorry, forgot the * on that. It was mostly visual. Coming from the S6e, the S7e is substantially better due to the much bigger battery, but with a Wireless charger at work, didn't see "major" drain issues.
Although, when the Power Button stopped working yesterday, I almost called Tmo and thought of returning before the Hardboot fix, as this is a System UI App.
Just wondering, did you have AOD on? I did have that off. Doubt it would make a difference, but the Good Lock is a Lock Screen, and since my Nexus 1 days, I remember them always being a Drain.

They just posted a new version and they took care of most of original people complaints, the only thing missing for me right now is the Quick Connect feature that it seems that the only way to get access to it is via Original Notification shade. If the fix this, for me will be a keeper, for sure, I've been keeping it expecting for an update and now I can say that they are 90% where they should be with this.
In general, a very good update.

Yes I do, not all the time but once in a while, very handy, easy and quick way to connect my devices to my Samsung 4K Smart TV. Best of all, with that, I can see the TV content on my Phone.

I use this as well for my Samsung 4K TV! I actually find myself using it more and more lately. I've run around the house a lot while watching a program and being able to send it to my phone to view while I'm in another room is great! I recently was watching a friend playing a game on his TV, I did a quick connect while I was sitting on his patio with another friend, and was able to keep up with the story-line while on his patio. What's weird is that I didn't get any lag using quick connect but when I tried a simple screen mirror i got lag as well as quality downgrade that was very noticeable.

This is the only problem I've been having so far with Good Lock. That and the horrible app switcher..

For me I would like them to add a private mode toggle.

That and sync!

I want to be able to actually choose black, and customize more options such as the lockscreen and recents. I don't like the new recents but I can't leave good lock and give up the stock android icons and drawer

I can't find the app in the app drawer. I visited the Samsung Galaxy Apps store and it said the app is installed. When I clicked on the Good Luck app, the only option is to update the app. Can someone plz help?
Edit: NM. Figured it out.

It comes preinstalled on Tmo I believe (or at least it installed itself after a while). I am having issues installing the latest version of Good Lock. Phone keeps restarting and reverting back to stock systemui. RIP

That's weird. I just updated to the latest version and it's been really smooth with no issues that was there with the previous releases. Maybe try the typical uninstall reboot reinstall? Or if you disabled some apps that could be causing some instability.

Yeah, I installed the first version of Good Lock and it was fine. Uninstalled it shortly after until the next update.
There is no way to uninstall the app from the Galaxy Apps store; the only option is to update it. My Apps does not show Good Lock as installed. I've tried clearing cache, re-enabling all my disabled apps, rebooting several times without much success. I am not the only apparently as several others are having the issue and posting about it on reddit. Hopefully this can be fixed with an update. Don't really want to factory reset to get Good Lock working.

I have no issues uninstalling from my device. I just go to the app drawer tap on the icon and it gives me the option to uninstall. I see what you mean by not being able to delete from Galaxy Apps though

Question Issues Keeping Background Apps Running

Anyone else having issues with keeping apps running in the background? I have a couple apps (one for doorbell camera and one for outdoor security cameras) that will only stay active for a short time and provide notifications on my phone when motion was detected. I can open one of the apps after not getting any notifications for a long period and then I will get all the notifications that never came through.
I have done all the normal steps of making sure the battery optimization was turned off for these apps and turning off all data restrictions with no luck. I had several go around with TCL support and exhausted their possible solutions. The same doorbell app worked fine on my old Pixel so I am pretty sure it isn't the apps.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I tried the beta 3, but my phone was not listed with the CU regulatory Number, whatever that is. I cant go back to 11 and I dont know if ill be able to go forward. But it did solve the notification issues.

Welcome to XDA
Power management destroyer of worlds
Developer options>standby apps
All buckets should show as active otherwise power management is enabled!
You can't change that setting here. If you can change a bucket state and get it to take (close Developer options/reopen) then again power management has been enabled.

One method I think is working without upgrading to Android 12 is to disable the "Smart Manager" app via adb
You can download sdk platform-tools and run command
adb shell
pm disable-user com.tct.onetouchbooster
You do lose out on accessing some battery options, though, since it's integrated into the app, but I don't mind it. Hope it helps

I have an unlocked T810S that I'm using here in the USA with Cricket Wireless (an AT&T MVNO). My phone has Android 11, and the notification issues are driving me crazy. I don't yet see any updates for Android 12, so who knows when I can get that.
I saw what @rickywangca did, and did something similar. From my Linux box:
Code:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.tct.onetouchbooster
And that uninstalled the "Smart Manager" application. I'm happy to have that thing gone, but I still have notification issues that I can't figure out.
For the apps in question, I added them to do "do not optimize" battery list, but that didn't seem to help. One app is configured to give me a daily notification, but I almost never receive it. I actually got the notification one day and was surprised.
Any other tips or ideas on dealing with the notification issue? Do I need to clear something else out related to the onetouchbooster "Smart Manager"?

Is global power management active?
Developer options>standby apps, all buckets should show as active otherwise global power management is active. It will cause erratic behaviors. It's not needed or desirable, it never did work well. It can not be disable here though.
Example: how its controls appear on a Samsung N10+ in Device Care, battery, it's usually a little buried but it's there. You'll find something similar to this. It's part of the core Android system.
These settings will cause trouble...

This T810S TCL 20 Pro 5G is an awesome phone, but the lack of notifications drives me crazy.
I looked at my Developer Options, trying to see something similar to what you have on that Samsung, and I see these, which appear to be inactive.
"Adaptive notification priority"
"Adaptive notification ranking"
But when I go to my Inactive Apps list, I see a variety of different "App standby state" values. It appears that I can change some of them here to have the different values of:
"ACTIVE", "WORKING_SET", "FREQUENT", "RARE", "RESTRICTED".
Which value should I choose if I want the app to stay active and send me notifications?
Here's a screen grab of what I see:
Oh how badly I just want to receive notifications from my applications, to make my phone fully functional. I get notifications from certain apps like gmail, telegram and facebook, but not from apps that I want like the LG ThinQ app, and Lightning Pro.

In general...
Power management with the bucket states and all of that is a native Android service. Part of battery management. You can't disable in Developer options but you can tell if it's active there. You can use it to verify that you have disabled though.
Samsung modifies their UI heavily. The settings they use may be similar to other brands, Pixels being the "purest" version of Android. In Pixels the controls for that are in battery care in settings, I think (I never owned a Pixel). Terms like Adaptive battery or Battery saver may be the ones thst switch it on/off. Verity it then with the Standby Apps status.
There is a way to set exceptions to Adaptive battery and that may work too. I never used it or if I did it failed to work properly in one way or another... it's been years. I ended up turning the whole mess off and using other methods to increase my SOT.
The best way to learn how your Android works is to play with it. Go through all the settings and play with them when you have time. Like a game, it's sort of fun. Do Google searches for specific issues; it doesn't have to be that specific model or even brand. Androids are similar across Android flavors and OS versions to a greater or lesser extent. Learn by reading about them. That's all I do and eventually track down the issue. The more you do this, the better and faster you get at it. Find/get the tools you need to better understand what's happening like a logging firewall, battery trackers etc.
I see you have social media and sales apps installed. I never do this. If I need to access them I login to them through Brave browser only.
They tend to consume excessive battery and are multi vector security threats*. They can also cause problems by changing hidden user settings which could have global consequences. You are what you load. At the very least not having any trashware makes troubleshooting easier and yields a better running Android. Disabling the questionable app when not in use is another option I sometimes use if I really need it.
*Just because it's on Playstore doesn't mean it's safe. Any app that updates outside of Playstore could download a trojan payload to what appeared to be a safe app. Any app that has internet access is a potential security threat. I firewall block all that don't absolutely need it and don't update any unless there's a good reason to.
