My phone doesn't appear to have LG AirDrive, so I don't think LG Bridge is compatible. I wonder if there is another way to reinstall. Maybe through Verizon?

It occurs on both email apps, "Gmail" (both email addresses there), and "Email" with my work (Exchange Account) email. In the original post, the image shows the red Gmail label at the top, as well as the bluish @Email label below. Both have jumbly stuff.

The $50,000 prize is part of the Guitar Center email. The "secret ingredient" is from the Smith Brothers email, the "top 3 tips" is from the Facebook email. So - doesn't appear to be extraneous. I also noticed, when jumbled, clicking on the notification isn't opening the email app.

Yes, it appears to happen in Safe Mode too.

It is an LG V30. I think what I have is different than what's in that other thread. What you're seeing here are my email notifications, not ads. Sometimes they look jumbled. Sometimes they look somewhat normal. I can often swipe up, then down again and that straightens them out. Funny, I waited...

After updating to Android 9, I often (not always) get this mess. Any idea what's going on here? Excuse the redactions.

I ended up disabling the "always-on" feature. I wasn't using it much anyway. As far as the issue with the alarm snoozing itself -- turns out that was an option within the alarm app that allows a flip of the phone to activate the snooze. So I turned that off. Been fine since then.

Just had the V30 for a couple of days, but twice the flashlight has inadvertently turned on while in my pocket. The "always-on" screen has an option to swipe the battery percentage to the left, revealing a bar of six icons, one of which is the flashlight toggle. The interior of my pants pocket...

On Verizon, this update installed a program called AppFlash as a system app. https://www.verizon.com/support/lg-g5-update/ I've heard some bad things about it, so I went into app manager and disabled it.

I tried this Tripp Lite USB-C to HDMI cable, but I can't get it to work. I went into the developer options and "Select USB Configuration" to MTP. When I plug the phone into the cable, a notification comes up to address USB configuration. I choose File Transfer. Then it tries to connect, then...

I got that 360° Camera as part of a promotional deal. I finally got around to trying it out. It's pretty cool! Here's the office lobby: https://flic.kr/p/MwFU5y You can click/drag on the photo to see all angles. I got the Cam Plus module, but I never use that. The battery/charging cradle is...

Anyone heard anything new on this?

It works. It doesn't appear to say the words "Fast Charging" though. I just put it on the charger at 62%. In 15 minutes it went to 84%. That seems pretty good, I guess.

This charger, with this Aukey cable results in regular "Charging" and Ampere app shows roughly 970 mA.

I went with the Tronsmart because it has Quick Charge 3.0 coming from the USB-C port. The Aukey has QC 3.0, but from the USB-A port. I have been mostly going with USB-C to USB-C cables. I have just gone all-in on USB-C, plus some USB-A to USB-C cables are manufactured incorrectly, so I have...
