    Oreo Update

    I've been waiting for Oreo to see better support with LastPass and the new AutoFill API: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-enable-lastpass-to-save-passwords-for-android-oreo-autofill/

    Is there an LG wireless charging pad?

    Not sure. The omars pad requires a micro USB, so I didn't even try -- I just picked up a QC 3.0 wall adapter.

    Screen wont turn on

    I have a "similar" issue, but it's much shorter, probably 15-30 seconds before I can get the screen to respond. Similar circumstances, double tap, fingerprint, it doen't come back on, just black. 15-30 seconds feels long when you are trying to do something. It typically happens after I was...

    Is there an LG wireless charging pad?

    Check out this thread if you want to make use of fast wireless charging, very few pads support the new standard in the V30: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/successful-fast-wireless-charging-t3687478 After reading that thread, I went with the omars 15w...

    Lg v30 Do most users change the launchers and Text Applications from the Stock applications.

    Google Messages, Nova prime (and even Google dialer). Uninstall/disable and hide in app drawer all LG and Verizon bloat. Prefer stock Android and the UI on my wife's Pixel 2 XL (plus I'm coming from Moto quasi-stock).

    Another Display setting to reduce blue tint.

    Every time I try to enable Screen Color Adjustment, I get "Accessibility keeps stopping X Close app", even after a fresh reboot.

    PH-1 battery life: Post yours

    Factory reset, no sim card, no apps installed, no google account associated with phone -- just connected to WiFi. Not sure I understand why Cell standby uses so much power when there is no sim card. Cell standby 832mAh Phone Idle 73mAh WiFi 18mAh

    PH-1 battery life: Post yours

    FWIW, I removed my sim, did a factory reset, setup as a new device, not even with my google account, installed zero apps, made sure phone was fully charged. I'm seeing almost the identical battery usage. Looks like 13 hours (whereas I was getting 12 with cellular radios and poor Verizon...

    PH-1 battery life: Post yours

    That's good to know. Is safe mode sufficient to rule out the apps? Before I factory reset, I'm trying safe mode and not touching the phone -- the battery has dropped 10% in a little more than 1 hour.

    PH-1 battery life: Post yours

    I uninstalled Messenger, put the phone in airplane mode and 6 hours later it's down 50% with no use at all. Something is seriously wrong. Same slope on the battery use. I'm going to factory reset the phone and see if it's any different. It's not worth the $399 I paid if I can't get 12 hours...

    PH-1 battery life: Post yours

    I'm getting horrible battery life, nothing like what has been posted here. Today, left home with 100%, maybe 4-5 texts and two 1 minute calls and it looks like 11-12 hours battery life. My SOT is 1:05. I purposely tried not to touch my phone to see how much I would have at the end of the day...

    Essential for $450 at Best Buy...

    Since I'm not a Sprint customer, I picked one up today for $399 (if you add a Cricket Wireless SIM Activation Kit and $40 refill card, the phone drops to $399, but the card/sim only cost $42, not to mention you can re-sell on ebay). Links for this are on slickdeals.

    Essential for $450 at Best Buy...

    Do you think it will go lower than $450 on Black Friday? A 128GB Pixel 2 is $750, which I refuse to spend, especially since the camera is not important to me.

    White or Black Essential Phone

    Can't decide, don't love the fingerprints on the black unboxing videos and not a white phone lover. Never put a case on any of my phones. Stellar gray coming "very soon" and "getting so close" according to Essential. Wish I knew what that means, before Christmas? I would hold out if I could...
