Google Pics Missing Feature? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

So I have a pixel3. My mom has a galaxy s8. My wife has an LG v30.
My mom and I have the option in Google pics to "add people or pets" to an album to make a smart album (or whatever it's called). It works great.
My wifes v30, which has the same version of Google pics as my mom and I, is missing this option. When she goes to create an album it just has "add pictures", not the "add people or pets" feature.
I can't figure out why. Any thoughts??

What firmware is she running, what variant model does she have?
Some carriers remove features, but this would be strange to remove.

Here's what hers looks like. Again, same version of the app. I can't fully uninstall because it's a system app but I uninstalled the updates and reinstalled them. Same thing.

She's on build OPR1.179623.026. Version VS99620f
It's a Verizon phone.

I have that Verizon phone and frakensteined over to OPR1.170623.026 US99820e with Photos version 4.5.0.220874418
I have the pets and people feature.

It's probably partly because of the pixel configs in my mod. There's even configs in I'm not sure of what they do. Seeing what pixel features can be ported. It also means we get features sooner since Google always give the pixel first access

Also my wife has the pets and friends feature in Google Photos and her phone isn't bootloader unlocked and rooted. She's on US998 on 20E, but she's total stock.
Guess Verizon doesn't like pets and friends?

FWIW, I have the people and pets feature, as well. US998 -> VS996 phone, running on Total Wireless (Verizon MVNO)... Photos app v 4.5.0.220874418

I don't normally use Google photos, but this morning I tried it, and I do get the "automatically add photos of people and pets" screen the ChazzMatt posted earlier. I'm on stock Verizon.

This feature can't be removed by any carrier or OEM.
It was my understanding that when it popped up on my device, it was a feature that Google is testing. Which means a server side switch.

Just to clarify, last week my Google play store showed up in pure white. No green AT ALL.
After a factory reset, I can't get the all white back. Wish I could but again, it's a server side switch.

If you remember, when Google first pushed it, black people accused Google of being racist because they got tagged as monkeys and apes.
LMFAO as if an algorithm could be racist.

Samsung DIVE

Has anybody tried to activate Samsung Dive on their Note? I created the Samsung account but I don't see any options to activate the remote control settings on the note, even though it says in Samsung's site that the options will be enabled automatically when the Samsung account is created.

To be honest, the feature doesn't work very well even for non-AT&T versions. I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 wi-fi and I was never able to let DIVE find my tab at all. Another crapy buggy feature from Samsung.

I came from a windows phone, and microsoft has that feature enabled for all their phones just by going to windowsphone.com and signing in with your live id. and before that, on windows mobile, i had my phone setup with creeper and it got stolen and i wiped it remotely but before i wiped it, i sent it a couple texts telling the thief where he was and that if he didn't return it i was going to call the police. the next morning the phone was sitting on my desk...
I used that Windows phone feature to locate/spy on my kids iDevices have the similar functionality. Not sure why Google left this one out?
DIVE was left out of the i-717 because AT&T offers their own called Mobile Locate and surprise...they charge for it! It is an add-on to the phone insurance.

Really, no love Cerberus?
You can snap pictures from the website control panel with the phone's front camera and have them emailed to you, or record audio from the mic and send that.
You can make it so any SIM put in the phone that isn't the current SIM will only call a phone number you specify.
You can wipe whatever you want from remotely and track the exact location of your phone at all times.
It is AMAZING!

i looked at it but for a reason i can't recall, i went with the "Where's My Droid" app instead.
wish i read this thread earlier, woulda saved me from registering at Samsung's lame Dive site...
I saw Cerberus on Twit.tv and think it is a great option. I'd love to know if any of you Note folks tried it. I don't have a Note... yet.
Cerberus is one of the first things I install on a new phone. If you are rooted you can install it into the rom and it will survive factory reset. It blows away anything else out there right now. You can record audio, video, have it call a number, take a picture, snap a screenshot. Remote lock / wipe. It is just amazing.

No I don't have a Verizon LG. I'm attaching a snapshot from the video linked above (at 4'07"). It shows the Verizon folder from the app drawer, with "Caller Name ID", "Cloud", "Isis Wallet", "My Verizon Mobile", "NFL Mobile", "Setup Wizard", "Slacker", "VZ Protect", "Voice Mail", "VZ Navigator". Don't know if this is the real final version but I'd think it should be close.

Bloat shmoat. If this is a 16gb model, Verizon can choke on the phone and the bloat on it
I remember when my Incredible couldn't hide or uninstall all that bloat (without rooting). I hope they don't yank out the wireless charging like they did with the Note 2... As far as I know, they aren't pushing the droid brand as hard as they were a couple years ago so I have high hopes of an untouched version.

I haven't seen any reliable websites join in and claim this. But even if those rumors are true, switching the back will fix it. With the Verizon Note 2, the only way to get wireless charging was to solder the parts to your phone - not just simply put a tmobile back on it.

Not sure where the article is now. But LG stated that Korea and US varients would not come with Qi charging. Its still built into the phone. Just the korea and US phones will not include the back with charging built in like the international version.

Hi, why are you in hurry to upgrade to Nougat, my H850 have lost over 12 hours autonomy since i had it.
Can anyone please check if hotspot still works with latest firmware 10m on h860?
My hotspot used to work flawlessly but after the update all I see is after I start it it would show that it's on and the icon top left shows 0 connected but when I search for it on my other device, there's no wifi and within those 10-15 secs it automatically switches off.

Hi rjpaul,
I have seen great reviews on split screen, extra doze (data saver) and battery life.
Though, I am afraid of some of the negative comments about the new operating system.
By the way I noticed google is following alphabetic orders in operating systems
J K L M N: Jeally bean; Kitkat; Lollipop; Marshmallow; Nougat
Maybe the next operating system will start with O letter.. probably they would name it "google Omlet" haha lol.

Haven't tried that. There was a fix for the g4 where you download quickshortcutmaker on the playstore and you could re-enable it that way but that didn't work this time around.
I'm on the Verizon G6 and they did in fact remove Smart Settings. I'm not surprised to see them do this. I am tempted to get upset at this, then I think, how much functionality would having those settings really bring me and how much would I really use them. I know that tasker and other apps such as Macro Droid will replicate these things. I found out how to replicate them on my G4 and I rarely used them nor found them super helpful.
Ya I know it sucks and I probably wouldn't use that much either but I like to have the option.
http://www.androidcentral.com/here-are-things-verizon-lg-g4-doesnt-have-other-variants-do
Here are the features removed from the LG G4 a couple of years ago. It would be useful to know what Verizon disabled in the LG G6 before purchasing carrier version or waiting for unlocked version.
Verizon has a (bad) and long history of modifying phones they sale. Same thing happens to Samsung's devices. My S7 Edge didn't have a few features Samsung had on their international model. Not really surprising to see they screwed up the G6 as well

[VS996] Capture+ Screenshot App missing after Oreo OTA Update

Hi everyone,
Somehow, I lost the Capture+ app after Verizon's last OTA update to Oreo. I absolutely love using the app for taking screenshots. Would someone be so kind enough to post the APK file for me, if at all possible? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much! ?
Volume down + power button gives you screenshots. Has always, and still will.

Well, I'm on TMO, and I don't recall seeing that app on my H932, but on facebook they have figured out a way to prevent screenshots while on facebook.... maybe that app can bypass the browser/facebook restriction....
I don't have that app either on my US998 and never did. But you don't need it. Volume down plus power button (at the same time) will take screenshot.
I think I have a capture thingy on my phone. It's a four corner square with a pen or pencil inside it. I'm on Verizon vs996 with 8.0.0.

On initial setup make sure you enable app drawer (it's not the default choice, instead ALL your apps on desktop is default choice).
Nova launcher, custom icon pack, install Blokada from F-Droid for ad blocking.
Enable Developer Options, turn on GPU rendering. Also, set all animation transitions to 0.5.
For right now, keep all camera settings on auto until you are sure. On selfie camera, turn down to zero all lighting and fleshtone adjustments.
I have screenshots of all my settings. I can upload them somewhere maybe this weekend.

Thnx, ChazzMatt. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the unlocked boot loader. I'm already missing getting into some of my apps that require root, specifically, Moaab, Titanium Backup and Root Explorer.
But, I will get over it, and, who knows, maybe someday someone will root it? Probably not, but maybe.
Unfortunately, I can't get the finger print reader to recognize my fingerprint. Apparently my fingerprint is somewhat worn away. It will work on others fingerprints, just not mine.
I bought a nice little Incipio case for it and screen from Verizon. Apparently, this LG is not a big seller here in Flagstaff, so they don't carry much in accessories for it. These were the only ones theyhad for it. And, he had to look for several minutes before he found them. He said they only sold about one LG v30 a month.
Nice phone, I really like it. Thanks for your guidance on it.

One trick you can use for fingerprint sensor is to "add" another fingerprint, but still use the same finger. That way you can get even more angles of the same finger. I have both index fingers (both hands) added as like 4 different fingers.

I don't have that app either on my US998 and never did. But you don't need it. Volume down plus power button (at the same time) will take screenshot.

It's not really an app I don't think. It's just a tile in notifications tray. You have the same version phone as I and I have it
Chazz, I've tried that many times. My fingers do not register, but others do (6 year old g-son, daughter in law, worker at Verizon). I've tried thumb, forefinger, etc, of both hands. It just won't click on my fingers, so now I'm using face recognition, not as safe maybe, but it does work.
Thnx for the suggestion.
OP, Galaxy princess, did you ever find the capture app?
I just downloaded the v30 owners manual and it does reference the capture+ in it a few times. I am on Verizon Oreo 8.0.
Pull down the status bar at the top of the phone and you will see it there.
Also with the screen off, click the volume up button twice to open it up.
I did try those two on my phone and it did work. If you've already found it, then please disregard my post.
I had the same issue after I deleted the app called QuickMemo+. I added it back through Settings, General, Update Center, App Updates. Once it was installed again, the Capture+ icon was back when I swiped down.

This is why people have to be very careful removing "bloatware". A lot of useful stuff is interconnected.
