I think I need some help. My battery is stuck on reporting around 84% and upwards. it never shows anything lower than 84%. It just shutoff on me and then claimed that the battery was dead. I plugged it in to charge and sure enough, it once again displayed 84%. My phone is rooted and the boot loader is unlocked and I'm running twrp.

Anyone with the H961N variant? I'm wondering if it has any chances of root. Also I'm not sure if I can apply for the LG promo with this variant.

Tmo H901 here. I seem to have this really annoying problem where my WiFi will disconnect randomly, especially when the screen is off (the screen is almost always off when I have this issue, but it has happened once or twice with the screen on if I'm not imagining things). I don't know how helpful or relevant this is, but a few times I've caught the WiFi notification toggle turning off and then back on after turning the screen on, even though I didn't touch it. I don't know why it happens, but has anyone else run into this? My connection to my router is perfectly stable, as no other phones have ever given me this issue, so I'm thinking it must be related to having the screen off. Any suggestions on a fix are greatly appreciated.

Looking for video of sound playback of this phone. Worried about the speaker tjat i keep hearing about. I dont need it to be like the g4 but people are saying they cant even hear phone ringing and was wondering about alarms sound as well. Did anyone see any comparison of the G4 vs V10. Hard to tell in store what it really sounds like.

Super noob needs help
I searched and read all the rules, still can't find an answer, so I hope I don't get in trouble for posting these questions. I'm using a T-Mobile v10, not rooted.
1) I accidentally uninstalled lg health. I'd like to use it, but can't find an apk to reinstall it. Tried searching LG smart world but that constantly crashes on me, saying the service is unavailable. Does anyone know where I can find one? I also tried just installing a booter for the app, since it doesn't look like the app is gone completely (it still shows in my app manager) but my phone will not install that either.
2) This is a result of my first issue - I am finding t impossible to boot this phone into recovery. Every method I've tried based on searched doesn't work ( volume down and power button through the lg logo display, volume up, both volume buttons...) What is the best way to do this?
3) Anyone else's Smart World app constantly crash?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks! It's my first LG, still figuring out its nooks and crannies.

Hi sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but I have a V10, model H962 and the volume buttons don't seem to be working properly. Specifically, the volume down key, it always seems to trigger the recent apps menu. Volume up work fine, but the only way to turn the volume down seems to be pressing volume up and then using the on screen volume slider. What am I missing? Thanks!

I've had an annoying issue after the Marshmallow update. I'm on stock and not rooted.
I use the LG Music app and since the update it seems to take a whole to load my music files, or at least read them when I want to browse the albums within the app. After a few seconds it grts better but it's rather annoying. Oddly, there are no issues with other music apps or even during playback, just during browsing. I tried formatting my SD card (still using it as portable storage) but the issue persists.

WM_6.5 for Hermes 8525

This is my first cooked ROM, a challenge I took up from 'Josh' and a regular customer for whom I flash....

Everything works smoothly with the OS. However 3G DID NOT WORK before or after the upgrade on the device we tested (a radio issue??)
....if anyone has it working, plz let me know which radio you have.
Applications such as TouchFlo, etc., are installed by using the Device Updater. I like this feature the most, as it leaves the ROM itself 'lite'.
Applications outside of the Device Updater repository I recommend:
HardSPL_v7
IMGChangeFont
SIPConfig Tool
CommManager3G
Touch Cube
Directly download the blue ones, others will be attached below.
THIS IS A BETA ROM - PLEASE POST ANY ISSUES..... I WON'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND.... AND PLEASE USE HardSPL v7 TO AVOID BRICKING
and TO FIX BAD BLOCKS !!!
HERE'S MY ROM (updated link)
Thanks to everyone who made this possible and especially to 'Josh' for his kitchen.
Sweet, another chef in the kitchen...
Will try out soon..
Just one thing though, you will probably find this post moved to the WM06 thread as that is where all new roms are found.
Cheers...
WOW Congrats on the new rom sir!!
I get following on download link
This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector's Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.
This limit is reached.
To download this file, the uploader either needs to transfer this file into his/her Collector's Account, or upload the file again. The file can later be moved to a Collector's Account. The uploader just needs to click the delete link of the file to get further information.
i've a problem........it's all ok but camera doesn't work!!
camera
The camera worked on our test device, the 8525. Is that what you installed it on??
Please give more details. Can you bring up the application? Have you tried taking a photo by pressing the center joystick?
The regular customer I have also had trouble operating the camera until I showed him he could snap pictures by pressing the joystick.
I can only tell you what worked for us.
PLEASE NOTE, YOU NEED A NEW PHONE SKIN FOR VIDEO CALLS. You could try this one. Let me know if it works.

Hello every body ,
When I tried to download the link http://rs717.rapidshare.com/files/211502307/wm_6.5_hermes_v1.zip ,
It seemed to me it is impossible to download the file through Rapidshare (I think there is a problem in the servers of my country ), could any one help to download it from another filesharing website instead of rapidshare, please , please please .
error (270)
When I start upgrading my Hermes withis ROM it goes to 1% after that an error appears
(error [270] : update error the image file os corrupted . please check your update utility ) , I don't know is it from the bootloader or ????
Please help me guys ...
Great Job!
Okay, I just want to tell you that I'm having the time of my life with this new build. You have done a fantastic job!!
Good. I am happy to hear that. If you have any suggestions for future builds please let me know !!
Do you have 3G working?? BTW If anyone needs VoIP in a country where SIP is blocked, I have a good IAX softphone that works over 3G using the GSM codec. I working on setting up some Asterisk servers and will be able to offer termination/biliing soon
This is great! Today i installed wm 6.5 on my SPV M3100 and everything works OK. Right now I am using device update to install more applications. This is cool stuff..
Thanx for your coocking...
Great Rom.
Works great but having turned off and then had dinner went to turn phone on and the htc screen hangs.
Trying a hard reset.
Fingers crossed as this really looks great.

If your screen hangs you may have bad blocks on the drive. Try upgrading to HardSPL v7 to fix them, if you haven't done so already...
I bought my TyTn more than 1y ago second hand and i've been running Schaps Theme 2.54 ever since without even knowing it and I am trying your ROM as the first upgrade ever done by my hands. so far so good, everything went smoothly and I must say it's an excellent piece of work and that i'm absolutely loving the WinMo Black theme.
However, i have some comments/questions:
1 - after boot, upon getting to the PIN-dialing screen i just get the top bar and no keyboard nor buttons image, i have to type my SIM PIN by guessing the numbers' spots on the screen. is this normal, and if not how can i circumvent it?
2 - configuring the Today screen Titanium item - is there any possibility to remove some items and/or reduce the font size, or will it be necessary to take it to the kitchen?
Once again, thank you very much for this piece of work
update: after further insight, i found there's no Office or PDF reading support, correct? i'm asuming i'll have to downgrade to a 6.0 ou 6.1 ROM, correct? also, how do i get rid of the damn startup splash screen? currently it runs the carrier's logo, but i just want it to never show again
Hey...
Use IMGChangeFont for changing the font and size.
There are tutorials somewhere in one of the forums for writing config files for Titanium. I haven't messed with it much... you are pretty much on your own if you want to remove items, but it CAN be done.
You can download Office here if you can't find it under Device Update.
Regarding the SIM PIN keyboard, I don't know what to say, except to try using the sliding keypad or do a hard reset, then try again.
The splashscreens are called welcomehead.96.png and can be swapped out by renaming them .. is Windows Mobile 6.5 the screen you are referring to?
well now that i've placed a picture on the background it does look nicer. i actually just wanted to remove some of the features which i do not use, but it's ok anyways.
got the office download, will install asap..thanks for the link.
regarding the splash screen... before the Windows Mobile 6.5 shows up i get a Vodafone image. it was there even before i flashed my TyTn with this ROM and i'd very much like to remove it permanentely.
thanks for all the help.
ok...look at this post if you want to try changing your vodafone screen
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
interesting tho, I upgraded my friends vodaphone Asus p525 and afterwards the screen was gone. i didn't do anything but run the ruu. needless to say, he was happy that he didn't have to look at it anymore.
good luck
ok, i'll try and see if the Vodafone thing becomes history but for not now i got these here doubts:
- is it possible, and if so how can i configure the VJCandeaLite to turn on and off with a press of button and not be dependant of keeping the assigned button pushed?
- there's some stuff I personally don't need, nameley Live Search, MSN Money and Windows Live. since i have no use for these i would like them removed cause i'm picky with this stuff. does it imply just a registry tweak or taking the cabinets to the kitchen?
and one n00b question:
- how do i install the Office suite? and also the two programs you deemed necessary - CommManager3G and Touch Cube - what use do they have actually?

Dark Glass TWO ​
PLEASE make sure to thank the developer for the dedication to his ROM​
Please do not clutter the Development thread with non development-related chatter​
FAQ​
Q Why a special Q&T Thread for a specific ROM??
A The bigger a ROM development thread gets, the greater the chance that posts are being placed in this thread that are not related to the ROM development itself, e.g. problems with flashing, installation, bugs, things not working etc. However this is understandable, it's not according to the guidelines of XDA for Development sections. Therefore the main goals of the ROM specific Q&T threads is to avoid this cluttering of the original develpment thread with these OT posts by redirecting the posters to the ROM specific Q&T thread and also to relieve the developer from answering these post, so he can dedicate his time to developing.
Q How to move my post to the Q&A/T thread?
A Copy the text of your post in the dev's thread, got to the Q&A/T thread and paste it there. After having done that, go back to the dev's thread, edit your post and change the text into: moved to Q&A/T thread, preferably accompanied with a link to this thread.
Q When I'm asked to move my post to the Q#A/T thread, do I have to do that?
A When you're asked to move your post, there will always be given an explanation by the OP of the Q&A/T, e.g. your post is not development related (f.i. SD card problems, etc), so please be so kind to move your post. If you want to help the dev to keep his original thread as clean as possible from OT posts, then the answer is, of course, YES. Although we cannot force you to move your post, it's highly recommended to do so
Q Where can I download this ROM and How do I install?
A You can find the link to download and installation instructions HERE. Pay close attention to this post, everything required for a successful flash is listed right here. If you fail to follow the instructions or meet the requirements for installation, you could run into some problems.
Q What are the known issues with these ROM's?
A See post #1 of the Developer's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2375835.
Q How’s battery life?
A I see this question asked repeatedly across all ROMS. Honestly there is no way to give you an answer based on a ROM. There are too many variables in question and results vary from user to user and device to device. Battery life is going to depend on age and condition of your battery, your use habits with your device, installed apps, tweaks, settings, etc...
Q How do I...
A Ask your questions and report your issues in this thread. You will receive a response and hopefully get you back up and running this ROM to it's fullest
Explaining the purpose of our Q&A/T threads for specific ROM's to posters.
"Hi dear followers of this ROM,
in this post I will explain the goal of this specific thread created for this ROM with the permission of the Developer of this specific ROM.
This is a statement made in the Q&A/T template thread:
"While our forum has slowly been morphing, the one area we would like to keep original is Development
The goal is to alleviate the OT banter that occurs within any rom. While the XDA forum continues to grow, we need to help users work within the guidelines created by XDA. Over the last couple of years the average rom being created, has become a free for all chat thread. There tends to be much infighting and mod/developer cleaning.
The idea of this template is to create a Questions and Answers for each rom. This is in no way asking for Development to be moved here, rather any and all conversation that is non Development related to your conjoined Q&A."
This means that non-development related posts, should be posted - with the permission of the Dev - in this thread. What are the most common Off Topic posts, that should be posted in this Q&A/T thread?
1. Battery life related posts
2. Will this app work with this ROM
3. SD Card related problems
4. How do I dowmload and install this ROM, etc, etc
Hope to have given you enough information,
kindest regards, Kuzibri
Thank you very much to kuzibri to open this thread for questions and problem solving, thank you very much to all the people who work and are awaiting my posts, I hope to give all the support necessary one in this thread, as you know I'm in my third year in university and this time consuming me! I hope to help everyone! and stay tuned to my Twitter for more surprises!
Greetings! JoseGalRe

NFC draining battery
Hey guys,
might be dumb, but NFC is DRAINING my battery. I go to turn it off and it won't shut off. I've tried it probably 20 or so times. It's really a killer when my phone's not doing anything. Any suggestions?
Google voice/voice search is down, but that's not a huge problem.

Did you try looking up "locale select" on the play store? That might help, but it could be the language missing from the rom.

Hmm I think Jose or CM/AOKP/PA removed the languages because there would be too much. They should at least have kept Arabic and Urdu. I don't know why they remove the major languages and leave the small ones. -_- ... lol

I have no problem in my Amaze4G, but that one if they have them and think they are the tweaks they affect, please do a clean install and configure the following tweaks to:
Vertical Sync set it to ON
Batery Saving Tweaks set it to OFF
Normalize set it to ON
Kernel Tweaks Set it to OFF
I think this is affecting both the purification and hot restarts, I will continue checking for that in the next version these tweaks do not change the system!

Automatically restart while trying to switch on bluetooth

after restart bluetooth toggle status is in switch on..
and few more bugs are there..

[Q] Lenovo A588T numeric keys for text

I just recieved a Lenovo A588T and it's a pretty good phone if you overlook the 512mb RAM limitation.
But my problem is when it comes to the keyboard, I can only use the physical keys to type numbers, even though the keys have letter imprints, so one would assume that typing is possible with them.
The phone came with AOSP keyboard so I think the seller may have flashed a international keyboard to give me a hand, and the phone language was set to english.
I've tried many keyboards that include options for hardware keyboards to no avain, even null keyboard and with all these I've only been able to type numbers.
Is there anywhere I can find a flashtool and the original ROM for this phone to check if the seller flashed an English keyboard?
How can I type letters using the hardware keys?
Also, there's a button on the top right that depicts a house and a heart, no idea what it does, if I hold it down on the homescreen it asks if I want to activate "easy mode".
Thanks
Ok, I flashed the original firmware using SP_Flash_Tool and an official ROM provided by lenovo, now I have a keyboard called Sogou Input Method wich does respond when I press the keys, but I can only use the spacebar on the screen and the predictions are terrible because it's intended for chinese input.

Totally off topic, but I'm having trouble finding pretty much anything about the Lenovo A588T. Seems like I can't even find any official Lenovo site listing it...
I'm wondering: Did you try or manage to root your A558t or get the Google Play Store working on it? I tried installing Google Play Services w/o root as an APK but it keeps crashing. Haven't had any luck with root either, I tried iRoot/vroot which was listed on lenovosj.com but it's not working.
Hi,
I have recently bought a Lenovo A558T and am also not able to use the qwerty keyboard but I am also a bit slow on computer matters so I didn't fully understand how you actually sorted out the problem.
Could you run me through it again on a blow for blow basis (treat me like a complete idiot) ?
Thanks
Mike
Are you in the US?
Which carrier do you use? From what I can tell, only 2G will be available in the US. I'm seriously thinking about getting this for my mom though. The current phone she is using is running Gingerbread...
What experiences do you have (other than the keyboard)? Did you root it?
Regarding the keyboard, since there are some software keyboards which simulated T9, I would think it shouldn't be difficult for them to add support to a physical keyboard which is providing only numeric keys as input. That is, their software may not work yet with a physical keyboard, but it would seem like it would be a good selling point for their T9-like input if it did support a physical keyboard... Maybe if you ask one of them nicely? For example, there's "(EvenBetter)NumberPad Keyboard", but I noticed it hasn't been updated since 2012!

But my problem is when it comes to the keyboard, I can only use the physical keys to type numbers, even though the keys have letter imprints, so one would assume that typing is possible with them.
The phone came with AOSP keyboard so I think the seller may have flashed a international keyboard to give me a hand, and the phone language was set to english.
I've tried many keyboards that include options for hardware keyboards to no avain, even null keyboard and with all these I've only been able to type numbers.
Is there anywhere I can find a flashtool and the original ROM for this phone to check if the seller flashed an English keyboard?
How can I type letters using the hardware keys?
Also, there's a button on the top right that depicts a house and a heart, no idea what it does, if I hold it down on the homescreen it asks if I want to activate "easy mode".
Thanks

It looks like this is the only topic on this phone on XDA. I guess it's as unpopular as it gets.
E-Chan42, was your issue resolved? How is your current experience with this phone? Liking it? Hating it?
Anyone else anything to share? I'd love to hear your feedback!
Same problem
I have the same phone and using here in the US and I have the same problem with the keyboard. Since the number keys don't work as letters the lower bottom half of the phone is basically useless. I have searched all over and found only this thread so I guess I'm out of luck.
Yeah, sorry I've taken my time to respond, but here's what I've been trying with this phone.
I reinstalled the official lenovo rom with the keyboard app they ship it with. I CAN use the keyboard to type but it's a huge waste of time, because I can't activate non dictionary input and the sugestions it gives are pretty terrible. To the point where it recommends he'j'lo before hello.
I tried another keyboard https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nyanya.android.traditionalt9&hl=en wich promissed t9 input and cycle key (like press twice the 2 key for b, thrice for c) but for some reason it doesn't work correctly on this phone, and only outputs the desired keys when you type at a snail pace.
So, to anybody considering this phone, consider another optionor develop a keyboard app.
Anybody got any idea on how to get this working? I'll upload a couple of pics so you get the general idea of what's going on.

I was thinking on trying to get my hands on a Samsung Galaxy Golden ROM and extract the keyboard apk, probably it will have international support but I can't find one anywhere
If you don't mind me asking, where did you find all your info (The official lenovo rom, etc)? I just received the phone and while I do like it a lot I would love to use the keyboard, even if it's snail typing.

Yeah, sorry I took my time, but I've been hella busy, here's a link I uploaded to mega with all the stuff related to this phone, flashing software and ROMs included https://mega.co.nz/#!mkAUHabD!ADPmm3AJzI0fIrLgIaS-AWJj51OtjPWXAfhqa-cA6bc
If anybody wants a mirror just ask
I've taken the time to write down my experiences on how to flash the device with a stock firmware by Lenovo, root with SuperSU, CWM recovery and Google apps. You can read it here: myrl.net/article/43
As for the keyboard, the best app I found so far was indeed the one @E-Chan42 already suggested: Traditional T9 Keypad IME - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nyanya.android.traditionalt9
Getting it directly from the Google Play store doesn't work however as the phone is not listed as supporting this app. Try to google for an apk (be careful where you go) or compile it yourself from the official source code: github.com/Clam-/TraditionalT9
Unfortunately I can't directly link to outside URLs and I just spent about 10 minutes posting this due to ****ing unreadable reCAPTCHAs. Thanks xda-developers!
That tutorial is spot on! I finally have my CWM backups back! I'm so happy!
Do you have any experience with the a588t dropping calls as soon as they're dialed? I can't get mobile data running either, my service provider is correctly displayed on my statusbar as well as my signal strength.
confirmed IB2K7 methods,
you will need to manually enter APN settings for carrier, I use cricket that piggybacks on the AT&T network and have not had a dropped call.
Yeah I set my APN as soon as I powered on my phone, still I think it's strange I my phone identifies my provider's name but can't dial out, same happens with every SIM card I've tried for different companies
Make sure your IMEI numbers match the label on the inside back of your phone. I fixed mine using imei tool from youtube watch?v=c_SRdyZ7DAk but there are a bunch of different methods
Thanks! That really worked! Somewhere along the lines of so much flashing I lost my IMEIs
Hi ya,
I've just received my A588t and having the same problem re-numeric only on keypad ! Did you ever manage to sort it, so the keypad functioned for letters as well as numbers ??!! Have to say it's doing my head in trying to get it to work !!! Kevin
Is there any new updates in regard to this? I just got the phone myself and found this thread. It's quite annoying to find that the keypad isn't fully functional.
If ever I wanted to make it work, do I need to do everything that IB2K7 said? When I got the phone, it's already in english and I could access the play store.

There is no need to flash the phone again if it's already English and has Play store installed. The only reason I did this was because mine didn't have Play store installed. So far I haven't found any better solution than what I've written before:

Amazfit Bip 2 gets FCC certification
My AMAZFIT BIP has an issue with GPS: after several automatic A-GPS updates, the GPS doesn't work anymore.
I installed a mod firmware and it started again to work fine until it received a couple of automatic A-GPS updates.
I'm wondering if a firmware that doesn't allow the automatic A-GPS update might resolve my problem! is there a firmware like this somewhere?
Are there any other solutions to this problem beside the mod firmware?
Is there a website that you can see all the data on a larger screen, similar to the Fitbit webpage? I would like to be able to see the heart rate and other data on a larger screen. It is all sync'd online, so it is unusual for there to not be a url you can log into with a web browser to see the same data.
bricked BIP
hello guys!
newbie here and need help
so I updated or tried to change the Chinese firmware to an English one with App notify and fitness ..and after the first file update the watch stuck in a black screen but when I tap on the screen few times it enters timer mode and starts working with heart measuring green light. I tried to connect again and again using gadgetbridge and MiFit .. but did not succeed ... any idea,, ??
my phone detects the watch but I can't click yes connect cause I cannot see the green box on the screen.
what can i do now to fix it?
thanks
Hi,
After changing watch face today I've noticed that Bip still shows 2018. I went through all the settings on both my watch and MiFit but couldn't find anything to change the date. It shows right date/day, just wrong year.
Hi, I've just bought this Amazfit Bip.
I was disappointed because the battery doesn't last 2-3 weeks as it is claimed.
But only 1 week for me with seconds shown on the screen and backlighting activated when you shake your whilst.
1) I'd like to change the sensitivity or the way when the backlighting is activated with you whilst position. Do you how can I do that?
2) Do you know how can I prolong the vibration when the watch is alarmed?
3) Is there a way to select a new time alarm by watch?
Thanks!!

2) The app doesn't connect to the watch. I tried to restart the phone as it is suggested..
3) I didn't find the feature. I'm looking for setting the alarm by watch independently...

Maybe since I set for secs showing on the screen the watch drains the battery a lot. It can't last for over a week..
Is there anyone that in these conditions tha it can get over a week?

1. Just turn tilt-awake off. It's pretty useless since the full watch face always shows.
2. Can't change the vibration length you can change the type.
3. Not unless a future update changes that. Unless you use 3rd party app "Notify & Fitness for Amazfit" (nice features but not consistent enough to replace the Amazfit app)
I bought the Amazfit BIP Lite and I am wondering if it is possible to change the amount of vibrations from 2 to 1 in the Amazfit Tools app?
This doesn't seem to be possible with the custom patterns?
Hi!
I have owned my Amazfit Bip for almost two years, working beautifully. However, last week this annoying problem arose: the watch constantly stars a running session all by itself. No matter how many times I close it: it just stars a new one a few seconds later, rendering the watch almost useless. To make things more poltergeist-like, even if i'm able to switch off the watch, it turns on automagically.
Also, the button is somewhat unresponsive: I must insist pressing it before it shows the options to stop the running session.
Anyone else with a similar problem? Is this a hardware issue?

Question Screen mirroring broken

Hi as you can see in the title my phone can't find the tv for screen mirroring. Please help me solving this because I'm going crazy
I've tried all the basic methods but I can't even find my TV. The strange fact is that through the YouTube app I find it immediately and I share videos but I can't mirror the screen.

Go to settings -> connected devices -> connection preferences -> cast.
You'll see your TV. If you are connected to live tv or set top box, go to home and you'll be able to connect. And do ensure your TV is capable for casting.

But you didn't mention troubleshooting steps.. nevermind, I'll stop wasting your time and go back to people who actually need help.
I Need help i Just wanted you ti stop being arrogant. By the way the steps are.
1) quick settings toggle for mirror 2) not finding TV 3) go to the screen of your screenshot 4) still finding nothing.
You need to use a Chromecast dongle if you want to cast direclty to your TV.
The cast from Youtube works differently since its based on the App installed on the TV.
