Bumping this because my Aristo does the same. Will update apps automatically only when plugged in. I see no options in power settings. Power saving is not enabled. Could it be my carrier? Otherwise, it looks like an Android thing.....

Not in any of them that I can see. The others are xml layout, but the contacts is Time New Roman and all smashed together. Difficult reading.....although they may be old files, as the messages one is texts from a couple years ago...hence not relevant.

I use a regular wash cloth sprayed with a mixture of Trader Joe's green cleaner and ammonia. I wipe the whole phone down every time it comes back in the house, paying special attention to nooks and crannies like the lens area, have always used this, and all has been well. By the way, according...

My last phone died, and sync was not on. I think it was on Ice Cream Sandwich. It was not rooted. I was able to access the internal storage, and found various xml files at App_Manager > App_Backups > xml . (note image) Ny new phone is an LG Aristo, 7.0 Nougat. On activation, it updated with an...

Yeah, I guess so. I think I've done all I can. I found LG Bridge, and it won't recognize the phone. I bet the folks at the store use the same thing. It shows up in My Computer because the device is seen as 'portable media player'. So something is really bad off.

Yeah, not rooted. It seems I got all my contacts and that stuff, though at least some of that is clouded (not sure about some things because I don't really want my stuff up and about - I'm pretty nerve-y about security). The media stuff I don't care about, as the important(-ish...) stuff is on...

Screen is out. USB power is out. Battery power is available only through jamming in my old LG Leon battery the right way - which has been repeatable three out of twenty times. When done so and it's on, USB file access is possible through My Computer, and I've manually grabbed everything that...

I need to start taking people out at LG. Well, thanks for confirming that.

My old Samsung had a feature where I could in situ remove words from the library. The K7 is so ******* stupid it doesn't have this, or it's hidden deeply somewhere. (The K7 s obviously made for dumb *** kids, who have no english capacity, and will suggest net speak or just the wrong word or the...

The Leon is a weird beast. It doesn't list ALL apps installed in the apps section. Also, in App Update, it lists only about five, which are stock apps - calculator, that dork-*** ****. Youtube, Google, my text app, Eveything else - nada. So I have to manually update most of them. Is this wrong...

Seems to clear whatever cache that I can't do manually, and has restored my phone to original performance. I leave my phone on 24/7, and haven't turned off my current LG Leon LTE since I got it several months ago. After a month or two, it started to get slow in general UI navigation. Functions...

Kinda solved - I was able to delete the files by putting the drive on an XP machine, setting share on, 'others change files yes', and then I had to delete the files manually, as it wouldn't delete the whole folder. I guess pulling out a drive without unmounting - I never unmount flash from a PC...

Necro - cos I can't delete the files. Not while in the phone, not while the SD is connected to my PC. (Perhaps because it's not rooted? I haven't decided whether I want to...) It's almost seven gigs of space! It's an LG Leon.

I swear I changed it to AirDroid. Did now. Thanks for the response Diddy. Didn't know about Wifi File Explorer. I have Wifi File Transfer....and for some reason thought it only worked with my old Samsung. Neither came up in the Playstore search I did on my new phone...less I look for 'em...

Never mind. LG has some tool for this that doesn't work with my phone. I found AirDroid, which works within IE. Kinda wonky, but it works.
