[Q] VZ Navigator on LG Spectrum?

I'm considering buying the phone because i loved the phone's light weight and crisp display. But, a reviewer(for pocketnow) said that the VZ Navigator always crashes and makes the phone almost unusable until he reboot it. So, I wanna ask if this problem occurs in every Lg Spectrums...

So just uninstall VZ Navigator? I mean, I don't know why all these carriers slap their own navigation on top of the G-Maps one.

Well.... Maybe I should.
But I don't like installing a custom launcher or jailbreaking the phone.
I received an message from a reviewer works for Wirefly, saying that his LG runs VZ navigator smoothly. So, maybe that's just his issue.

I don't mean any offense by this at all, but if you're not going to root (jailbreak) your phone, you're pretty much on the wrong forum. That's all we do around here.

I have a reason for that;
after i use the phone for a month, i will bring this back to korea, where LG provides excellent customer service. But they don't take care of handsets bricked by rooting. So, I want to root it at least 1 years after I bought the phone.

Before you do anything to your phone, would you please make a screenshot of Settings -> About phone (scroll to the bottom)
I'd like to make sure our unbricked phones have the same data there.
Screenshot can be taken by pressing at the same time power button and home button, the images stored in /sdcard/Captured Images/
(first time I see a linux with spaces in the filenames..go figure)

My Galaxt S3 isn't charging. Help please!

So about two weeks ago, I switched to iPhone because I'm giving my S3 to my dad. I haven't used it since then so I fully expected the battery to die. However, when I went to charge it today the LED at the top left isn't lighting on and I get this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
.
Whenever I try to plug in the battery while it's connected with the USB, the red LED pops up for 3 seconds and then it goes away.
Any ideas guys? Please help me.

I did see it. But we don't have the same problem.
My phone won't even get to the boot sequence and I know it's not a brick of any kind because the phone was working fine before I switched the iP5. I left the phone in the glove compartment of my car for a week or so, is it possible that could have messed with it? The phone was inside of the box and everything so I can't imagine it got too hot.

Well did you try the suggestions there? Keeping the battery out for a while and then putting it in and trying to boot?

Yeah I did but still no dice.

couple of things
Try a different battery
Try a different charger
Sometimes extreme heat and cold (from a glove compartment) can ruin a battery or the phone itself. Extreme temps are hell on phones. It's probably a good idea to remove the batterty and keep it inside if phone is being stored. Also, some chargers to go bad...had it happen. Anyway, you might have tried these things already. Good luck!:good:

[Q] where can I find this face?

I saw this face on a website and have been looking for it. Anyone know where I can get it?

Wow, that is really well done! I'd prefer the green to be blues/purples, but still.. that's probably one of the cleanest and most functional faces I've seen yet.
Is it even real, or is it just a concept rendering?

You can find it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ddroid.aw.watchface.mf02
I've bought another watch face from the same author and it's amazing!

Thanks for the link, I just bought it, lol... I think I've spent more on watch faces than I have on apps now.

Thank you also. Just bought it!!!

awesome watch face but definitely looks like your battery life is going to be drastically reduced by this face

Since my 360 seems to turn on whenever it feels like (minor hand/arm movement) this face is affecting the battery life a bit because it stays on longer than other faces. I've asked the developer if there's a way to change the delay to a shorter time, but haven't heard back yet.
I sure hope Motorola or Google clues in and gives us the option to turn off the auto-on feature. I'm not a lazy ****, it's easy to double-tap the screen or press the button if I want to turn on the display.

I have to wonder all these faces which are purchased, what is the lifespan of them. When newer screens with higher resolutions come out. Will we have to buy the watch faces all over again?

The developer has a number of watch faces for the 360 and the other watches. I have tried several of his but everyone has been a battery hog. Like mentioned they are extremely sensitive then stay on way to long. Also they will display the night mode for about a sec before going to the normally full color. This also seems to be big complaint then reading the reviews. There have been a couple of copies that have been posted over on facerepo of his but I have not seen this one.

Faulty Screen need advice

Hi there brought this second hand Nexus from well known auction site. Fully aware of it being faulty, after finally switching on (power ribbon cable was loose) the screen switched on usual google popped up but once fully loaded it becomes fragmented. There are tears on the screen as I touch it.

I went into bootloader where the screen loaded up as normal
As you can see there is no glitches with the screen loading this up. I then proceeded to do a stock flash from 5.1.1 to 5.0.0 to see if its just a corrupted rom. No luck still the same.
Has anyone come accross this problem and know what is the fix? Before I tear this nexus apart for spares for my other nexus or even plug the screen to test on another ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated

When you flashed the factory image, did you flash all of it including kernel? I would try to get into TWRP and install a ROM to see if the problem persists. (You can boot into TWRP without installing it if you want to keep it stock recovery)

Display issue - not sure what the problem is

I had my phone plugged into the charger and when I turned it on I got this screen. When I reboot, I don't see the boot up screen logo , it just takes me to this screen and I see this big block of white. Any idea what the issue may be?

Try forcing a reboot by holding voldown+power. Let me know if it doesn't work.

Unfortunately its the first thing I did. It doesn't boot with the samesung log, instead with a white screen as above but I see some of the text behind it (like asking for pin number etc)

Will it go into the boot menu?

nope

That really sucks... sorry to hear this. Happens on the S series phones apparently too.
A loose display ribbon connector... maybe.
Looks like a blown display.
Did it recieve any hard impacts?
Always use a good case like the Zizo Bolt.
If so and it was me I would replace the display or order a new N10+ N975U1, they are still available. Almost all of these are loaded with Q.
Personally I refuse to run Android 11 or higher.
If you don't object to Android 11 you can find them used for about the price to replace the display.
Samsung simply doesn't have any other flagship phone that I would buy over the N10+ including the S23U. I have a known good US vendor that sells new ones for $650 which is about twice that of a used one. Bought one from them about 14 months ago. Pristine in the factory sealed box. He buys up unsold lots. The last manufacturer ones were factory loaded with Q.
