Might be humpped? (G3 --> z2 device upgrade) - Moto Z2 Play Questions & Answers

Ok, here is my situation.
Backstory: I am a private investigator. I have had a LG G3 for about 2.5 years. I have used the G3 for investigative photos and video in that time, using the "Locked files" section of the gallery to store the confidential photos and videos. I had the vast majority of the content saved to the SD card when I locked the files.
Fast forward to about a month ago: The SD card slot on the G3 stopped working. X_x
The screen on the G3 started randomly cutting out a couple weeks later, so I decided to update the old phone to the new z2.
Seeing as I no longer have the ability to read the SD card on the G3, is there any app or desktop program, or a gallery app for the z2 that would allow me to access the locked files?
I have to be in court in 2 weeks with the photo evidence of this chick cheating on her husband, so he doesn't have to pay her a red cent in alimony.
I will also post this in the G3 forum as well (x-post)

If it requires a separate pin then you could find another g3 to borrow. If it encrypts the entire card, then it is tied too the phone.
Next time use a cloud service like Dropbox or Google photos to back them up automatically. The phone had to be disposable at any second without losing anything.

Did they downgrade multi-window in kitkat?

It says they only let 2 multi-windows now.... DIdn't before you could do 3 or 4?
Before that I could do as much multi-windows as I wanted? Why did they make this change? Is this a downgrade?
Or am I just imaging things? Was it always 2.
Also, Polaris Office 5 sucks it has so many glitches (document not supported, but it opens manually, doesn't free draw save for ppt, etc.) . I want the polaris office that was included in the original note 10.1.
Also, wtf google Why did you take the external SD card away...
There was a reason why I bought the 16 gb ones.
It was always 2 from the factory. You can root and enable 4 though.

So you use the cloud... Google wants to own your info, not just allow you access to it....
The bullsh!t line about security is ridiculous...
The cloud is not the answer. Download and upload speeds, data charges, file sizes and security issues. Just a few concerns. I use cloud storage and am in the process of reducing it. Trust Google? Hell, that is akin to demanding you trust the government. You cannot.

I agree about the cloud not being the answer. I also agree that taking away a feature people relied on, even made purchasing decisions based on (16GB vs.32GB), for no truthfully explainable reason, is pretty crappy. But it's time to move on. The hobbling of external storage first came to light last December when the SGS4 GPe received 4.4.2. That's six months ago. Since then, nothing's changed. People's choices are:
Leave Android for another OS out of contempt for Google
Stay on 4.3 forever
Root and install a fix
Adjust the way you use the external SD card and come up with new ways to do things
Trade your 16GB devices for one with more storage
***** endlessly to strangers on discussion forums about how crappy Google's decision was and how your life has been ruined
Even with six months having passed, every day, on every forum I view, there's another new thread started about "why can't I save to external SD?" It's getting kind of old. So people need to pick one of the above and move on. And those choosing option 6, no one here can help you and answers to any and all questions you might ask have been posted dozens of times. F'd up external storage is Google's "new normal" and they aren't going to back down.
P.S. - I chose option 4

Someone should tell Samsung.
This really isn't the catastrophe it's being made out to be. Video, games, and pics take up the most storage space. They can be stored and played off the external SD card. Most large apps allow you to move them to external SD too. All Samsung's apps (Video, Music, Gallery, My Files, Samsung Link) have universal access to external storage and can be used to manipulate files saved there. Any app can create its own sandbox on external SD and save/edit/delete files there. What's been lost is every app having access to everything on external storage. It's a pain in the a_s but there are work-arounds that aren't that onerous and most people, especially consumption users, will be fine.
4. root and SDfix
The only acceptable solution is to root and run SDfix from playstore.
I was forced to do that after kitkat OTA upgrade on my Note3 and external SD write was crippled overnight.
My Note10 is still on 4.3 rooted, but when I go 4.4, root+SDfix will be first on the list right after the upgrade.

SD card stopped writing

So this started Friday morning but I didn't know what the issue was. I use my SD card for caching music from my All Access Google Play music subscription, and I was actually streaming non-downloaded music at the time, and everything stopped working, and I kept getting errors about not being able to download. Didn't think much of it. Did the standard Routine, reboot, didn't work, so I cleared cache and uninstalled updates on play music and the service was working again and I didn't think about it again until I tried to take a picture later in the evening and got this in the gallery instead of the picture
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3418912&d=1437899706
Again I just did the standard stuff, rebooted, cleared cache and data to the gallery and camera app, but this time nothing was working. I finally decided to change my save location from my SD to my internal storage, and my pictures started saving again. So I connected the dots to what happened with Google Play Music earlier in the day, and checked my downloads, and nothing was downloaded anymore, option to save to SD was grayed out. Naturally I tried to format with the card in the phone, and it acted like it worked ok, but still showed I only had 11gb left of space, and still wouldn't work with anything. So I stuck it in my PC, and windows errors every time I try to format it. I tried with the default windows 8 formatting tool, I've tried with third party tools, same thing, won't format. Card appears to be read only now. How does this happen? It's the free 32GB card I got from LG with the extra battery and charging case I got for buying a G4 before June 30th. In fact I've only had this SD card for maybe a month. Is this some lolipop permissions keeping me from formatting it or is it hosed? I remember reading something about Google changing permissions on the SD with kitkat, but I also read they changed back with lolipop. I also read that LG didn't seem to notice they changed back and kept things the way they were with kitkat. If that's the case how do I take ownership of the whole card so I can format it?
I've had the same problem!

I have no idea of the answer yet but if I find one I'll let you know. But this has happened to 3 different micro sd cards in my LG G4! I don't think it's an android issue I think it's an LG g4 issue. But I'm going to investigate further. Brand new sd cards working fine for a few days then rendered read only and unable to format even on a laptop!
This literally just happened to my 32gb card received with the bundle. Any update?
I had the same issue with a A-Data 128GB UHS-U1. After a month of usage it wouldn't mount on my phone. After trying to format via various means (Disk Management, Partition Magic, SD Formatter) I found my card was set to read-only and nothing would change that. I've had very good experiences with A-Data before so I chalked it up to a manufacturing defectand filed a RMA on the lifetime warranty. Ive got a spare 16GB popped in to see if it's the phone doing it (Also A-Data)., I hope its not the G4 because I love the phone. But if it is I'm not wasting another SD Card and buying another phone.
Sounds like a corrupt sd card somehow.
I have the same issue with a SanDisk 200GB Card as discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/phone-upside-screen-off-t3227335
So it's the G4 that is killing the cards?
It's one of 2 things: Either manufacturing defects (which seems more likely) Or a G4 issue (In this case I would expect the issue to be more widespread then the low number of posts). The solution for some seems to be repartitioning the SD card, in my case though it reverts back even after the partitioning, SD Formatter indicates its stuck in read only.
It can also be some of the cards don't work well with the heat the G4 generates. On mines, it doesn't indicate read only but it seems I can't format or write to the card but I can delete from the card fine... I just tried SD Formatter and it basically shows what's attached, I thought only full size SD cards had the write protect switch, is there any software that can make the card write protected or not?

That's the exact same error message I got with SD Formatter, You could try with using partitioning software to see if that works, it was a no go for me. Regarding the heat, that could be an issue too, compared to my previous phone, the G4 runs really hot.
Any Partition software you recommend at it seems MiniTool Partition Wizard doesn't recognize etxfs as a filesystem. The G4 does run pretty hot, so much for the claims of the cards claiming to be resistant to everything...
I did try the Windows Disk Management Tool, but even that can't fix it. Well to be fair, no phone runs as hot as the G4 from my experience, guess LG still makes crap...
Has anyone tried the sd card fix floating around the g4 forum...it's posted at least once in the threads by micromod777 in tmo g4 forum...also to those with unlocked bl have you tried formatting in twrp?
Happened to me too. (SD from promo) I had to replace it. Nothing can be done about it. SD is trashed.

LG aka Lucky Goldstar had always been a low-end brand. The only reason I've switched from Motorola is because of the microSD slot and the removeable battery. Samsung's are more for looks too..

Got a link to the sd card fix?
Some good news, A-Data notified me that they be replacing my micro-sd no strings attached. Sad news is that I'm tried of hardware issues on Android devices. I considered the Moto X Pure and the Nexus 6P, but being a Canadian, I'm getting royally shafted by exchange rates, ended up getting an iPhone 6s.
Same exact issue here with the 32gb card I received free from the promo.
I got ahold of LG and they replaced it. I bought a much nicer sandisk uhs 64gb card while I waited and when the replacement came I put it in the wife's gs5, that was 3 months ago and it's still working so hopefully it'll continue to work

I really think there was something wrong with the previous firmwares. My play music would wipe at least once a month and reading off the card was always sluggish. Ever since the 81010o update everything is fine, and I can take my card out and reinsert it and play music won't delete my music. Unfortunately I believe the previous firmwares were killing cards too

Camera corrupts pics/vids when storing to SD card

When I take pics/videos and the camera is set to store to the SD card, it will often corrupt the images. The bad part is that the thumbnails that it shows in the camera viewer are fine, but when you use Gallery or any other apps to view them, they are corrupted. I 'solved' it a while ago by saving to the internal storage, but occasionally it will revert to SD card storage and I'll loose pics until i notice!
First question- are the corrupted files recoverable?
Next, is there a fix? Just random answers showed up on Google- usual factory resets/wipes which are iffy and temporary.
Or, is there a way to keep the camera set to internal storage?
It's just <expletive deleted> to buy a phone with the best camera on the market and then not to be able to rely on it. I've lost so many irreplaceable shots It's EMBARRASSING to show up with the best camera and leave with the worst (zero) pics, or have people ask you to use your fancy camera for their priceless shots and then later have to tell them their memories are lost.
The current card is a Samsung 64GB EVO Class 10, but I've tried 2 other ones.

I would be so upset if this would happen to me, I understand how you feel.
Sorry to be the one bringing the bad news but recovering/repairing the corrupted files would be really hard (I tried it with some corrupted photos I had a year ago).
In my case the photos were accidentally deleted then recovered with recovery software.
I just recently got my G4 and I didn't try yet saving any photos on the SD card.
How often does it happen for you? Every 10, 100 pics? Totally random?
Have you always had this problem? Is your phone rooted, unlocked, have you done any changes like that to it?
What you can try is activate the option to save the RAW files along with the .JPG so maybe one of the 2 files would survive.
Then you can check and delete the RAW files if the .JPG files are ok.
Wiping the phone with a factory reset would be another thing I would try.
As a last resort, send the phone to LG for servicing. Hope you find a solution.
Generally when it does it, it corrupts them all, so you lose ALL the pics from that event or whatever, not just a few. Just to make a liar out of me, today when i tested it, it did 1 good, 1 bad, then 4 good.
It was 'fixed' for a while after the initial incident as i simply didn't put an SD card in it. Until I put in one about a week ago, then at some point the camera started writing there and I didn't notice until a day later after I went to upload some pics from a party the night before.
It was a stock phone when it happened, but last night I rooted it to attempt to recover the thumbnails (they seem vary large as you can zoom in pretty far), I looked for them but couldn't fine them when unrooted. They weren't in the .thumbnails folder nor any other place I looked so thouth they must be in some protected folder that required root. But from the rooting or time passed, the thumbnails disappeared from the camera.
Wiping may fix it for a while, but I don't know if it comes back. It's not unique to me, according to Google, but those that have wiped say it starts corrupting again. And the thing is, they look fine in the camera app so the only way to tell is if you switch from camera to gallery or another pic app.
I wouldn't mind shooting in RAW but RAW only works in some manual modes, another big disappointment.
I was thinking of switching camera apps but it's not clear if the other apps support things like the laser focusing.
I bought it from ebay so not sure about the warranty, and if they'll do anything with an intermittent problem. They'll probably take one good pic and call it good

It is always better to save the photos/ videos in phone memory and copying them to memory card in regular basis.so you are swtting internal storage but still it is going to memory card after some time?
is the setting in stock camera app is really changing to memory card in settings?
Didn't quite get that, but I set the stock app to internal and it has switched to external SD. I haven't intentionally changed it to SD, but I can't say for 100% that it wasn't an accidental button press. If it was an accident or bug, net result is the same- at some point I start loosing pics and don't find out about it until later.

I do not use the LG gallery app as I don't like how it is sharpening the photos. I always use Quickpic, it's better, way faster and free.
Have you tried a factory reset or reflash an original LG OS image if you are rooted?
Maybe your phone has a hardware problem, can you call LG and ask what your options are?
What is the exact model of your phone? What are the 1st 3 digits of your S/N?
LG phones made from June to August are prone to the boot loop problem, maybe this is something else...

Retrieve data from LG Quick Memo for a non LG device?

Hey all,
Let me start by saying that after searching a bit, I've come to the conclusion that there is no way to run the LG Quick memo app on non LG devices.
Here's the story:
The LCD-Digitizer on my G3 (D580) suddenly died. When the screen displayed, but was just unresponsive to touch, I was able to work around it by operating the phone via USB OTG cable and mouse. But suddenly, it stopped even displaying anything, which is frustrating because I took excellent care of it (no water damage/shock damage, always had it in a rugged case with screen protector). Anyway. I've switched over to a Huawei Honor 8, IMHO the most affordable flagship.
What I miss most from my G3 are the notes that I know I synced to an email address in the LG note app. Any ideas on how I can view those again without access to my G3? I can't afford to repair the screen because the part is so expensive!
Am I the only one with this issue? I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks!
Even though I never got a response, I figured out my own workaround and I'm so relieved that I'll pay it forward.
The solution that worked for me:
If you had the foresight to sync your memos before you lost screen functionality, then getting them back is as simple as walking into a T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon store and using an LG device on display (or borrowing a friend's). I didn't really think about it, my syncing was more like dumb luck than foresight to be honest, but ANYWAY
Sign into the Quick Memo Plus app on the LG device that you have access to and use your backup/retrieval method of choice. I can confirm that LG G3, G4, G5, and K10 have Quick Memo Plus but there may be other LG devices that will do the job. The only reason that this is an issue is because LG Quick Memo Plus is an app that will only work on some LG devices. It's not available in the Play Store and even if you have the apk, it will not install on non-LG devices. (Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong, it has something to do with odexes and the LG framework)
Once I was able to view my memos, I went through them one-by-one and copied the most irreplaceable ones to an email draft. Took a few minutes but it was worth it. Be sure to sign out of the display phone/your friend's phone before you leave and be sure that the notes are not viewable even after you sign out. I know that even after I signed out of Google, the memos were still viewable on the display phone, so I had to select them all and delete them from that phone.
I hope that this helps if anyone finds themselves in a similar situation.
Sent from my FRD-L04 using XDA Free mobile app
Instead of hand-copying memos to an email, you can export the entire note collection and email that. It exports to a .lqm file, which is only really openable with QuickMemo+, but it's also in plaintext, so you can open it with a text editor and see your notes. This is a good idea only if you have several dozens of notes you want to recover just need to store the text.
LG QuickMemo+ issue with using other devices
I've been scouring the internet for something that'll let me log into QuickMemo+ online or another app. I came across this & I'm glad I didn't have to spend countless hours looking for a solution! Thank you so much! ??
Why just dont use google keep... That problems is enougs reason not to use anything specific to LG. Like lg backup etc...
Can anyone here pls provide instructions for how to send my entire notes?
I have an LG G7 & I'd like to keep my QuickMemo+ notes for the future in either my gmail or a google type app in case my phone dies. I read the instructions provided by someone in this thread but I am not a techie so they were missing a few "steps for morons" lol that I need. Can anyone dumb it down and write it out more fully? Thank you so much!
Here are some basic instructions

So what you can simply do is extract the .lqm by 7zip or winrar or any app of the sorts you will get a couple of folders which are images, drawings, videos and audios. But what interests us is the memoinfo.jlqm which you can rename the file and changes the extension into a .txt so it'd become memoinfo.txt which can be opened with almost any text viewing app. Now there will be a lot of "garbage" but within the "garbage" the text that was in the memo will be there. And that's it if you want the text but I don't know whether or not the photos or audio files are saved normally or in a proprietary format. Hope this helped.

Hey all,
Let me start by saying that after searching a bit, I've come to the conclusion that there is no way to run the LG Quick memo app on non LG devices.
Here's the story:
The LCD-Digitizer on my G3 (D580) suddenly died. When the screen displayed, but was just unresponsive to touch, I was able to work around it by operating the phone via USB OTG cable and mouse. But suddenly, it stopped even displaying anything, which is frustrating because I took excellent care of it (no water damage/shock damage, always had it in a rugged case with screen protector). Anyway. I've switched over to a Huawei Honor 8, IMHO the most affordable flagship.
What I miss most from my G3 are the notes that I know I synced to an email address in the LG note app. Any ideas on how I can view those again without access to my G3? I can't afford to repair the screen because the part is so expensive!
Am I the only one with this issue? I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks!

Galaxy S9 Unique Problem/Troubleshooting

,
Hello everyone,
So I have (had) a Galaxy S9. A lady friends dog bit it (no b.s), and broke the screen touch input. Gradually the entire screen turned black. So now I have an S9 with no possibility of seeing or touching the screen.
The worst part is the screen broke WHILE IN maximum power save mode. Which means the USB can't be used for anything other than charging.
Making matters even worse, I had a 64gb SD card in it which had very important pictures and other valuable items.
I can't use the sd card on another phone because it says it has to be used on the original device (unmounted).
Does anyone have any ideas of what to do with getting my phone reset, get the info off, get the SD card data off etc.? I was quoted $300 for the repair.
I also have numerous, and I mean numerous, website/app logins using Google Authenticator. I can't access the Authenticator codes without the S9, and I also have A LOT of cryptocurrency wallet addresses on the Authenticator, and of course the key to access the Authenticator is on the SD card ?*
Sorry but I never knew the SD card would be specific to a phone.. because if the phone breaks or is lost forever what do you do?
Buy a new screen
