RishiGuru, 19 Apr 2022Good to know bro... however can you kindly elaborate the steps .. I seem to be a bit lost on h... moreGo to Settings/ Apps & Notifications/ App info.

Click the 3 dots button in the top right, and select "Show System". This will show system apps too.

Scroll down to find 2 "Software Update" apps, one with green icon, other with blue. You can't do anything with green icon app, but you have to "Force Stop" the blue icon app... Click it, select force stop. That's it.
I did this about 1 month back, I didn't quite see the software update notification again ever since. Hope it helps. Cheers bro. :)

And yes, one more thing, your message about E80C and E50C is spot on. Initially I found E50C better, but over time, E80C as you said, grows on you. Simply best way to describe it. Thanks for suggesting them too. 80's music never sounded the way it does now.

      Shazam, 17 Apr 2022Anybody please recommend some good wired earphone for LG G8x . I have shortlisted some earpho... moreLG's QuadDAC shines with high impedance earphones (above 50 ohms). In other words those that are difficult to drive with regular smartphones. When QuadDAC senses high impedance earphones it opens the flood gate and you feel the real driving power of the QuadDAC.

      The SoundMagic E80C is one such product with 64 ohms impedance and for me gels very well with LG G8X. Others may vary. This is the best earphone SoundMagic makes. Period. The E50C may sound more musical in comparison to the analytical & natural sounding nature of E80C, but over times the E80C grows on you. It is able to retrieve details which E50C cannot. To my ears on E80C the lows, mids & highs are on perfect harmony. Others may vary. It also comes with a decent mic & 3 button control.

      The last E80C I bought was on Oct, 2021 for INR 2.7K at Amazon India. It was Diwali sale period with great discounts. Generally retails for INR 4K.

        I have shortlisted some earphones & iem like Moondrop Spaceship, Soundmagic E11c, Final E1000 & Final E2000CS but i am so confused.
        I would appreciate the recommendation of earphone having overall balanced sound with decent mic for attending zoom classes.
        Budget under 3k INR.

            JoeBazz01, 22 Mar 2022Please...Does anyone knows when Sprint LG G8X would receive android 11 update?Yes, but, you will need an active SPRINT SIM Card with SPRINT Data enabled, since Sprint lockdown their own devices for be updated on their own network, not Wifi and not generit carrier. Thats the main problem with SPRINT devices.

                Well, regarding that, I managed to do something without rooting. I just force stopped the "Software Update" task through built in task manager, with blue icon. There are 2 of them, only one can be stopped, which I did.
                Since then no update notifications are coming, and all else is fine too. I hope it helps.

                      Hi guys,

                      My LG G8X has some issues. Some apps like Twitter, my banking apps and chrome will not function like there's no data on the phone except I turn airplane mode on and off. Apps like WhatsApp and Instagram rarely do this but most times, the apps on the phone just act like there's no network connection. I'm running Android 10. Please anyone with a solution?

                            RD, 02 Mar 2022Hi which vivo phone that has good audioVivo NEX S is the best, as it comes with Cirrus Logic CS43199 HiFi DAC with native DSD playback capability. An ultra rare feature where the raw DSD64 files are decoded at the hardware level inside the DAC using DoP as a mode of transmission inside the phone. The headphone amp stage is also quite good through audio jack, three Analog Devices SSM6322 headphone amplifiers are in play here. In India, the NEX S comes with full GMS support with Google Playstore inbuilt.

                            Not all Vivo phones are available in my country, but I also have their 2015 released Vivo X5 Max till now. X5Max had stellar audio quality courtesy the holy trinity of ESS Sabre ES9018 + ESS Sabre ES9601 + Texas Instruments OPA1612 op-amp combination in a phone. Audio was heaven on earth back then on this phone. Still is. I listen to this phone even today, it has the level of resolution & detail which was unheard back then. Unlike NEX S, it lacked the juice to power proper sized cans, hence best options were to stick to good earphones.

With the advent of differently abled flagship phones sans headphone jack (thanks to Apple to start the trend) our choices are far and few between.

                                        The only phone I can see in our country capable to challenge G8X on the audio front in Asus ROG 5. Native DSD playback capability on smartphones is a ultra rare feature. Only two companies successfully implemented it LG & Vivo. That too on selected flagship models.
