Yup, that's what am talking about. The download link in that page. It works with a phone in almost any condition as long as it's not in a boot loop and it can enter fastboot or recovery or just boot up the shell but not show anything. This similar to CS_Emergency in KDZ updater. But, I guess this tool is more reliable than the kdz updater since it restores everything to stock. Just as things were when you bought the phone.
[GT540 Optimus General] pepi74:
direct link, please.
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
link is below... read the guide it helps
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
I have flashed it many times in cs_emergency mode as described with no luck :\

Cool dude, got the LG software tool. I got this error after entering my imei number "the usb cable and your callphone are not connect. please blah blah blah" whilst in download mode.

Also the LG tool wouldn't detect my phone and by manually entering my IMEI numer into the box and booting the phone in 'normal' mode i could run the update.... Now i think this is where i wanted to be... its running the update as we speak.
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
ok so currently, LG update tool manager is getting stuck on 40% of the update which is 'Checking the S/W version...' Its been on this now for about 20mins... I will leave it over night and see where we get to... Not holding my breath though :(
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
Ye well i don't think it is that new. My uncle bought it maybe 3 months ago and only used it for 3 days he was over from the states. It had 1.6 installed on it. So maybe its not so bad:D

O plus i did successful install 2.1 on it before making it die :(
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
a new update, now after many restarts of the phone it finished checking s/w version and then sadly, even whilst using recovery just tells me i have the current up to date version... yawn:(

So i am now trying to kdz it back to v20b... lets see what happens.
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
Just try disconnecting and reconnecting if the updater gets stuck. It will solve it. What happens when you power on your device while holding home key? Try power+search and power+camera. What do they do? If any of them takes you to a black screen, you can proceed from there.

Btw. fastboot in phone=blank screen and recovery might show download mode. That's just fine. All you have to do is enter fastboot or recovery and try running the LG Software updater like I said.

I'd recommend trying a XP-32bit PC as well if possible.

Btw, don't worry about carrier locks. The latest for LG GT540 is 2.1 on all carriers and can be rooted easily.

[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
Hey dude,

So ye the LG software worked fine and it detected it, it just says there is nothing ot update as the phone is on the latest version.... :s So i assume the last time i got the KDZ to work i did it with the latest version of the software. Surly though the LG tool and then 'recovery' should be fixing my phone not telling me its up to date. I'm not trying to update it :s

So all of those buttons give me vibrations with a black screen other then volume that gives me download mode.... So this is correct

I feel what you guys are saying is fastboot should be working... doing adb devices and nothing shows up. Maybe i have no the right drivers installed :s i mean, i have run 5 different installers all from the usb_driver.zip so i beleive i have the correct drivers, just not a rom that has fastboot.

In fact on the LG Tool when it starts up and detects the phone it says i have V20E_00 installed.

[edit]

At home it wouldn't get past the download mode when updating to a different KDZ at work it worked fine... ont sure why though, still it means the LG updater Tool might work at home now. Or it might not detect the phone as its not got an offical kdz. I've got euro+fast on it now. Even though it doesn't work.
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
well guys i have completed the LG update tool sucessfully. But sadly it has made no difference.

So i have used this tool and we are back at the same point as before :s
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
got well now i am confident that the pc will connect to the phone 100% every time i'd like to make sure that the pc knows about fastboot if it exsists on my phone... So guys could you remind which checks i should make to make sure that the pc knows what fastboot is?
[GT540 Optimus General] torq1337:
How do you mean "pc knows what fastboot is?"
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
so are the drivers different from the files in usb_driver.zip?

or same thing said differently. Are the same drivers that are used for kdz and the LG updater used as are used with fastboot?
[GT540 Optimus General] lavero.burgos:
I told you and it is in my guide too, there are 2 kind of drivers one is the normal LG ones to your PC recognize your PHONE and the other drivers are for you PHONE be recognized in FASTBOOT mode. check the guide again there are the links and they work because i used them in my laptop windows 7 64 bits too.
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
You should run Recovery Phone, not the updater. Once this is done, everything such as Recovery and Fastboot is removed. The phone will return to factory software wise if the recovery completed successfully.
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
Ye this is the trouble. I go to Customer Support ¬ Recovery Phone and then it still came up with the same 'Phone update' on the the title of the program!
[GT540 Optimus General] jamiehutber:
i really don't want to but i think i may have to give in and take it back to the store. :( i thought i could beat this phone but i think it may have beaten me off :(
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
Yes but that software updater will proceed even if the version is latest. It's like the Repair function on most windows installers. It installs the latest version even if it's already present.

Btw, can you post a link the last kdz you tried to flash after which the phone went haywire?
[GT540 Optimus General] BlAcKDoZzEr666:
Hi my friend, i had the same problem for a couple of hours but i solved it, so:

I guess you know the tutorial to install the cyanogenmod 1.9.

load the rom euro+fast.kdz with the kdz updater, when says finished wait a minutes, if your phone doesn't load the OS, remove the battery, wait a seconds, put it. turn on your phone and conecct it to the pc. for any reason this will make that the pc required new drivers, if you have windows 7, will search on windows update (in windows xp i dont know..), wait for the drivers (modem driver is not necesary, you can cancel the download for this) when the drivers are ready disconecct the usb cable and remove the battery (to turn off), wait a seconds and now turn on the phone in fastboot mode (power button + camera button) conecct the phone to pc and proceed.. open cmd and do the comands to mount the system (cyanogenmod or whatever), here a little problem after instalation and reboot in recovery mode, this mode don't show me something, only a black screen, so.. once more to turn off the phone remove the batery and put it and turn on your phone, wait a minutes for the first load and enjoy!

well, my only problem is that there is not recovery mode (only a black screen), there is not LG logo and boot animation but the rest work fine! :D

someone can help me to solved this? there is a thread or is necessary to create one?

hope it helps and sorry for my bad english!
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
You won't get a recovery unless you install one. Probably you have entered fastboot.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNinja:
Running Vanilla AOSP Gingerbread 2.3.3, finally managed to get this thing to talk to the local network here at work (it's PEAP authenticated, TnT Lite won't see it).

Now I'm running into the issue of not being able to access local intranet sites with my browser. Instead if just takes me to google search. :mad:

Running Dolphin HD right now. Any ideas? I'd really like to use this tablet at work to access the local intranet. If it won't do it, that's going to be a problem.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
I would download the program ipconfig from the market and make sure you are getting the correct ip information on your network. Getting the incorrect DNS server can cause this issue. You can also downlond ping from the market and try to ping the internal web address. Just a troubleshooting step that I would starti with.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNinja:
I was able to ping it using the Terminal Emulator, so that is working at least.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgruendler:
Well...I am getting my Gtab deliverred via fedex tomorrow and will be able to test my local intranet sites with the same setup and hopefully be a little more helpful. I will keep you posted with what I find,
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNinja:
Ok, I was wrong, I can't ping. I was pinging a server that is exposed on the external internet (Oops). The internal-only servers are unreachable. The DNS servers, though, are correct.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNinja:
This is interesting.

From home I can access my work email through Exchange for Android, no problems. However now that I'm online at work and on the internal network, it doesn't work. I suspect it's because it's on the internal intranet now instead of trying to route to it through the internet.

I suspect that, while Vanilla 2.3.3 AOSP supports PEAP, it doesn't really support PEAP. :(

A large number of corporate networks use a proxy server; check into that.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNinja:

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNinja:
Got it working.

Now running VEGAn 5.11 and it connects just fine. Not having the issues with the email anymore, either. However some of the intranet sites only pull up if I know the IP directly, apparently the browser has a hard time with port redirection on the URL (it doesn't care for 'evolutionsc:8080' very much at all).

Now I just need to find a browser that can handle JIRA without formatting issues. :D
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodwardxda:
I seem to be having the same problem but I honestly don't know how to update the proxy settings for my work network (which does use a proxy server). I'm using Vegan 511, anyone know how to specify a proxy server for the network connection to use? I can't find anything in the wireless&network settings area.
[HD7 General] f1uid:
Hi

I've been using HTC phones for years now, always been on O2 and I've always used my various flavours of XDA to connect my laptop to the internet. I am at this very moment using my Polaris via bluetooth to connect to this forum with my laptop, that is my problem.

It it the one function that the Polaris does that I can't make my HD7 do. Am I missing something here? Surely the HD7 can do this, it is a pretty basic function of a phone so I reckon the problem here is the user.

I am currently having to swap my sim card between devices whenever I need to connect to the net with my PC.

I little help here would be very appreciated.
[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
Actually, at this time I dont believe there is any way to tether the HD7 to a PC and if I remember correctly, I believe at this time the bluetooth on the HD7 only works for a headset and nothing else. I may be wrong so Id do a bit more searching but I believe this is what I have read and heard...

Hi

I've used XBmod WP7 ROM and the in call volume is far too quiet and people have a hard time hearing me on the phone (no Sound Enhancer can't make the caller volume any louder) and I was just wondering is this a problem that all WP7 ROMs share or is it just XBmod's ROM or is there a way to boost the caller volume? This is the only thing really stopping me from going to WP7 full time.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JonnieLasVegas:
I've only used the original DFT rom & the Twilight rom. In the original it seemed louder than in the Twilight rom. I have to use headphones on calls or I can't hear much of the conversation. But I love this rom other than that, plus I don't feel like re-loading all my apps. Wish it was a little more simple to re-load them like on winmo. But don't get me wrong, I love WP7 & the Twilight roms, I just need to figure out how to fix this on my own, I think.

From what I've read/heard though, most roms are too quiet in-call for me especially.

Anyways this is answer to your question,

Q - How do i increase the in call volume, its set to max (10) but is still too quiet?

A - Change this reg key : HKCU/ControlPanel/Volume/MaxinCallUIVolume from 10 to 15 (15 is loud enough for me, be careful going much higher)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JonnieLasVegas:
This does not work, have tried it. It won't make the volume any louder. It just makes the increments smaller but DOES NOT change the volume. Just because it's a sticky doesn't make it true, lol.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hardik1us:
It does work.... I have tested it and thats why I am suggesting...Just not because it is sticky...I am using frantic ROM
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] JonnieLasVegas:
I've tried it as well & it has made no difference in the Twilight rom. Many others have said the same. Glad it works for you, but it doesn't for many of us.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] whombeartoe:
It doesnt work...it just makes the increments smaller, but the max output is still the same. I went as high as 30 and its exactly the same. Can anyone say placebo effect "hardik1us"...

[Xperia Arc General] winnerzero:
I've just installed an alternate home launcher on my arc but everytime i press the home button it simply goes back to the stock launcher. Previously i used to get an option after pressing the home button to choose which launcher i want to use but now i've lost that option. Is there a way for me to get that option back? Thanks in advance.

thanks for the reply. actually i found out how to get that menu back again...u simply go into the Home Launcher application via Manage Applications in Settings and press Clear Defaults. Then the next time u press the home button that menu will come back up again...hope this helps someone else.

I can't really comment on this since have not go the arc yet but you can install Home Switcher here and see if the option comes back or you can clear out the default launcher.

Are they really that necessary? I had my hero for a while without one and never had a problem. I'm just saying, because I got the invisible shield one and now it sucks. For a couple months its cool, but after a while they just make my screen look ****ty. Peeling off one corner. And it looks like when I first attempted to put it on particles in the air, dust, etcetera stuck to it. There's no avoiding that. At a certain angle you can see the little particles. Its really lame I think I'm about to Peel this crap off.

Does anyone use on?
[EVO 4G Accessories] nebenezer:
The evo screen is much more durable than the hero screen was.

I used a zagg on my evo for several months but after seeing how much it was taking away from my "viewing pleasure" I took it off and haven't looked back. I actually dropped and cracked the corner of my evo a while back and before I sent it back I TRIED to scratch the screen with keys, knives, razor blades, rocks.. I literally couldn't scratch it. I'm sure a diamond ring would do the job but at this point, imo, no screen protector is worth the money or detracting from screen clarity.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DjKurt:
I had an invisible shield for months and was able to live with it until it just got too nasty to look at... Had it off for a couple weeks now and can honestly say I should've saved my money and left it on the rack... just my .02
[EVO 4G Accessories] JustRuin:
I've had an invisible shield since september, and had best buy install it. It looks great, but it feels weird to the touch. I was really paranoid about the seen getting ugly, but from what I've read, there's really nothing to worry about. My friend got rid of her shield after she ruined it, and she's pretty happy with it bare.
[EVO 4G Accessories] housry23:
So to add to the OP I would also like to ask those of you that go bare, do you keep your phone in your pants pocket? Does it get scratched by keys, change, etc. when taking it out or putting it back in your pocket? The reason I ask is because I use InvisibleShield and when it starts to look like crap I pay the $2.99 shipping and they send me a new one as long as I send the old one back within 60 days there are no other charges. I am on my 3rd InvisibleShield on my EVO now, but I would seriously consider going bare if it is truly that hard to scratch the screen. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Cares:
It is truly hard to scratch the screen. I've had a bare screen on my Evo forever and I can't imagine it otherwise. Dropping it and cracking the screen is another story :P
[EVO 4G Accessories] KB112:
Bare since day one and zero scratches. I carry my keys in a different pocket tho. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] majorkillin:
I would recommend the Realook screen protectors. You can hardly tell it's even there. You have to be really careful when you install them. Smallest piece of dirt under them will really mess it up. I got my EVO at launch and just recently added the screen protector. I had a few scratches but nothing major.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ausch30:
I just bought a couple sets of these

http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Screen-Protector-for-HTC-EVO-4G-Pack-of-2/5497913/product.html

I've had a screen protector on my EVO since I got it on launch day. I had the Zagg on there for a little while but I hated the way it felt and it started to turn yellow after only about a month. I had several other protectors I bought from Sprint and such but when I got my Commuter case I put the Otterbox protector on there and I've had it on since. My Otterbox protector was starting to get a bit scratched up so I was looking for something to replace it. I got an email from Overstock telling me that I had $10 credit so I went to look and see what they had. The protectors I got had a very good rating and I have to agree, these are the best I've had on my phone so far. They are very smooth and clear, good stiffness and thickness on the plastic so I think they'll hold up well. Best of all, only $5 for 2 of them, you really can't beat that price. I don't know if you really need a protector but I'm ultra paranoid and I just like the security of knowing it's on there.
[EVO 4G Accessories] CrippleB:
I use one for sure but it does take away from viewing. Pretty scratched up now so I will probably replace. Not looking forward to installing and trying to get dust free, I am very picky so it takes me much time to get it right.
[EVO 4G Accessories] PsychoFox13:
I did buy the Zagg Invisishield, however I never installed it. I just couldn't get it right and ended up making the screen protector look like crap.

Needless to say, after 9 months of having no "shield" I did finally get a small scratch. This is after bouncing my phone off of pavement, blacktop, hardwood floors, and carpet. The scratch is unnoticeable unless you're at the right viewing angle, and you can't feel it unless you actually search for it with your finger nail. My phone does have 2 cracks (Power button & volume down rocker) and the corners are pretty chipped. :P

Gotta love that Gorilla Glass.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ausch30:
I'm pretty picky as well. I had a couple chunks of dust under mine after installing it last night and I just used a piece of tape to lift a corner and another to get the dust out, worked great. Installation with the protectors I linked above took about 15min.

The EVO doesn't have Gorilla Glass
[EVO 4G Accessories] aksharpatel417:
wow that pretty good i might get one if you can get as many as you want only have to pay the shipping thanks. I have one on now but it is peeling at the corners and there are so many air bubbles i hate it i am going to go bare or buy one of these
