I noticed the screen was off while it was charging, when I went to pick it up it turned on. But I can't tell if it turned on all the way. I think the screen went off before it finished booting. The screen is now off, and I can't actually tell if it's on or not. Putting it back on the charger did nothing.

No - you'd see it. I can't seem to load the update, no matter what I try, and I get the same symptom. I have to get it back to a low-level boot and restore in order to recover the watch. I'm convinced that this firmware update does not work with my watch.

Are you using adb for the low-level boot? I don't think in going to have access to that because of the RSA encryption key that adb needs to work.

Another thing: is the screen rotating through a series of low-level light changes? You'll need to be in pretty dim lighting to tell. If so, that's a boot loop. If not, then it just may be croaked.

Did you use the tool to install the ADB drivers? That's #1 on the menu.
If so, then you need to try the pin reset trick to get it to the bootloader. It's kinda tricky, because you have to catch it at the right time. I found that if you can manage to use a ballpoint pen to hold the rear reset pin down, then when the LG logo appears, you swipe from top left to lower right, you'll get to the bootloader. It's tricky, but doable. Once there, you should be able to run the recovery tool and get your watch functional again.
I did a reset and still cannot see any update... Now, my watch does not show any watch apps installed on my phone... Any way to fix this?

I can find plenty of info on how to force it into safe mode...or how to force it out of safe mode, but I'm looking to do neither.
I rebooted my phone today (because gmail wasn't syncing) and it started back up, to my surprise, in safe mode. It's weird b/c besides the sync everything was peachy.
I'd just like to know if there's any way to poll the rationale for it? Any log file I can cat? Any ADB command I can run? I'd just like to know what triggered it...this isn't a daily occurrence so it's not like I can just turn log-cat on and reboot. So I want to look at it now, while it's in safe mode.
Any help/tips are appreciated. All I can find in Google is how to get it in and out of safe mode.. NOTHING regarding diagnosis...
CM7...forgot which kernel. - JT's nightly #11 IIRC...I can get that info once I find his nightly kernel build page again, lmao.
Weird. Mine did yesterday too.
Haha, probably just a coincidence.
Either way, I'm REALLY surprised there's no info on this subject...
I mean either a flag set before shut-down or a status code on boot should stick it into safe mode...it shouldn't be hard to poll why. Something like that should definitely be either pollable from ADB, or in a log file some place. Seeing the lack of activity in this thread I decided it was probably a moot issue and rebooted into recovery, cleared cache and dalvik cache, restarted, it booted normally..
Though I'd still like to know for next time. Not only is this useful for people who actually give a ****, but it's useful to developers so they know of potential problems/bugs that exist inside ROM's. I'd be extremely surprised if there was **absolutely** no way to get it.

This happens occasionally with Amazon apps, when I try to install an update. It's also just happened again when I bought the Humble Bundle of apps, and it won't install when I try to push the install button once I open the .apk. Anyone know a work-around or have experienced this as well?
I will restart and post my findings.
For those who don't know what the Humble Bundle is, it's a bundle of four, great games, that YOU choose the price for. Read this article to learn a little more about it: Pay what you want for this Android Bundle
I couldn't install after reboot either...

Turn off screen filter.. it blocks the install button for some reason.
This is not a glitch with phone or whatever.. its the screen filter app..disable it and hit install and it will work

It's an app that just makes the screen more dim than even Android can. You can set a default dimming level too.
That's is a stupid, stupid bug too, but at least I know why and it's now documented here. Thanks all.
Has anyone had this problem more recently?
I've been experiencing it on CM 10.1 ROMs, and only a complete wipe and reflash seems to fix the problem.
It would seem that SOMEWHERE, I need to wipe some kind of data out, but I don't know what. I'm having this exact situation right this second. Can't hit 'next' or can't hit 'install'.
4/11+ CM 10.1.
I don't see that 'Screen Filter' application. Nothing in apps called that. Does it have a different name?
Thank You

Any persistant overlay may prevent usage of the "install" or "next" button when installing an app from the SD card, whether it's screen filter or HALO. Chat heads, Ninja SMS, floating battery stats, etc are all possible culprits.
This is a safety built into android to prevent an app from popping up an overlay over the required permissions list and showing a "safe" list of required permissions on top of the real list of persmissions that allow it to read your texts, pick your wallet, and root around in your underwear drawer.

My Saviours!
I would just like to give a hearty THANK YOU for this thread.
I have been bashing my head against the desk trying to figure out WHY the hell I could not press the install button.
I have Twilight installed that dims your screen based on time of day. I followed the directions of turning it off, and look at that, it worked.
So what have I learned today?
There is ALWAYS an asnwer for something to not work as normal. It is a matter of asking the right question to find that answer.
I am experiencing various problems that seem quite strange.
When I plug my charger into my phone, nothing happens.
Usually I'd get the charging tone instantly, but it can take upto 5mins until registering the charge now. Its also the same with USB connection to pc/laptop/console.
Whats worse is that when I remove it from charge/usb , the galaxy still displays the charging icon or 'connected as media device' stays in my notification bar?
Only until I reboot it goes back to normal but most of the time I can't even get to boot animation because it just shows the charging screen!
I charge my phone every night to 100%. If I turn my phone off, then back on, it'll either show me the charging boot screen symbol - or when I do manage to boot up successfully my battery drops MASSIVELY. It was 49% earlier, I rebooted and I had 8% left!
Im worried that my connecter may be damaged also as I dropped my phone whilst on charge and bent the charge port (not the phone port)... but there is another issue which isnt related to my battery which is my brightness/display problem.
If I let my phone screen turn off itself it turns off but then comes back on and stays on until i lock it manually using power?
If I cannot get this problem sorted do you think a wipe and re-flash would rid me of these annoyances?
Thanks!

Hey,
it listen like a battery probably, but u can first check if it's system related when u do a factory reset (BACKUP before).
If this won't help, try to change battery (maybe a friend have same phone).

kindly provide details on ROM/kernel etc in order for other members to help you out.
First you need to see what is eating you battery. though you have other issues. You can try reflashing the firmware with fullwip/factory reset.
1. install cpu spy and see whether the device is going to deep sleep properly. if not try the following. enable aeroplane mode, power-off, power-on, disable aeroplane mode.
2. you can install BBS and GSam battery monitor to see which application is consuming more battery
3. dont install new apps, monitor the device after flashing & installing above mentioned apps.

I don't see why they wouldn't...it is the same Android Wear isn't it? (aside from a few extra apps here and there)
Working on a app uninstaller too. I know this isn't supposed to be a standalone device and this stuff will probably only be in the rom I am working on. It's all new to be but I'm enjoying messing with it. ?
I think wear does need an uninstaller. Some wear apps dont show in the launcher of your phone, only in the apps list on play (where they can get buried easily) or worse on the apps tab on the phones settings menu.
As it stands if you have a problem with your phone you cant do anything with a Wear device. So if that app is malware, or otherwise borks your phone and/or watch, tough.

Yes! It will be great a "night" mode. I sleep with the watch, and I want that:
- the screen must be off
- it must change to on (but dimmed) with a touch, double touch or something similar, but not with the movement of my arm
- it must be easy to activate/deactivate this "night" mode
It will be a very useful utility!

Real shame that dev support or really much users for this phone is so slim. It's such a good phone.
Anyway, I think it's another real shame that it's extremely difficult for me to find a way to remap this dedicated Assistant button on this phone. There's so many other ways in which to summon GA that I don't need that button to do it. I can be used for so much else.
Samsung folks have that awesome dev to remap their Bixby button. I wish someone could do the same here. There's clearly no root method for the LG V60 so there has to be another way to do this. Something that doesn't involve the skills of an Android developer.

I installed this and got it working great. You might want to check to that when your phone is connected to your PC that you have the USB debugging set to "USB charging" and that you authorize the connection on your phone when running the app on the PC.
