[Captivate General] TRusselo:
yup jig is your last chance..

now the other day i bricked and the jig wouldnt work either unitl I found a trick that helped my jig work. this worked FOR ME in my situation. not all.

remove battery count to 5 and replace battery

DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS

put in jig. download mode!!!!

if i touched ANY button the jig would not work. worth a shot.

jigs are about 8$ on ebay or can be made with a few resistors for a couple dollars. (or whatever currency you have in Belgium). there are many threads on how to make them in the captivate forums on xda here. just make sure not to touch the resistors with your fingers if you make one. use tape to hold it.!! good luck buddy!
[Captivate General] zebra363:
Thanks a lot!

I will buy a JIG on eBay then.. It would be safer!

We are using Euro currency in Belgium :p. So, a JIG is approximately 6 €.

It's a cheap price for this kind of tool! But by the way, HTC has much more solutions to unbrick their devices.. :mad:

How can I move time in status bar, wh using fontchanger some fonts cut off the very right side. I have root explorer, hoping I can use this to maybe shift it to the left so I can see the last digit in the time. I am also using ACS SyndicateROM frozen if that helps to help me find it or if it matters on any rom. Any help is thanked, I'm new to android theme/ customizing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
I'm pretty sure the status bar clock (and the rest of the status bar layout) is to deep in the Android system to modify other than removal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
So I have been inspecting their forums since they went on sale in the UK today via Phones4u.

They are having tons of trouble rooting and they can't play Tegra 2 games.

Quadrant scores are around 3000.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ananthb:
Maybe unlocked bootloaders will come back, but this is the exact reason I bought the G2X. I imagine a powerful, open device will get a lot of developer support. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nomisunrider:
You have a source for the "locked bootloader" info?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Evofusion:
The battery life seems to destroy the G2x battery life, from initial reviews that I have seen.

Also the Samoled+ display looks amazing and blacks are truly black hehe.

Here's a link to a nice review of the phone

http://www.jrin.net/2011_04_24/samsung-galaxy-s-2-in-depth-review

All in all it seems to be a solid phone, but I still love my G2x

Edit: I love it because of the developer support it will have, the screen isn't that bad I really love the colors and the brightness, and tegra 2 of course, there's plenty of +'s for the G2x as there is for the GS2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Amd4life:
so when does this hit the US?

my g2x is troubling with the battery, bleed, reboot issue
[T-Mobile LG G2x] demo23019:
Lol the point of this thread?

The phone hasn't even been officially out for a day

Of couse it wont play tegra games it needs a tegra gpu for that.

And quadrant is total BSnot to mention sgs2 is clocked at 1.2ghz were gx2 is only 1ghz

Sgs2 is better than g2x in hardware not to mention plays pretty much every video format no prob
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jree:
I don't think they can play tegra2 games because the euro one comes with a exynos processor or some reason to that affect. But whatever, thats just one downfall of that beast of a phone. Lets hope Sammy has fixed the GPS and lag issues right outta the gate. Secondly, they just released the phone so I assume its going to take a little time to get the phone rooted. I was about to go and buy the G2x but it wasn't that impressive when i was at the store so now I'm impatiently waiting for the Sensation and GS2.

Hopefully by the time the GS2 releases, the G2x will have all its bugs fixed and I can compare all 3 at once to see which one I like the best.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
I guess Mali in Exynos is another new platform for developers to learn to make games for.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
I can't imagine the gs2 havning better battery life. It has the same size as the original galaxy s. With dual core and a bigger screen I'm sure it sucks the battery down. Not to mention what a battery hog amoleds are....I get great life on my gx2. Right about 20 hrs with normal use
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Evofusion:
Please tell that to all the people who are losing 10%+ every hour while the phone is idling...

My G2 with its 1300mAh gave me much much better battery life than my G2x currently does, but I just know that this is software related and hopefully (fingers crossed) CM7 will fix this.

Its my only gripe right now with the phone, that and the bleeding, but I plan to change my phone out at a later date for a new one, $500 outright for the phone I expect it to act like one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Amd4life:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] XPLANE9:
I'm pretty sure the Galaxy S2 already has been rooted and the bootloader comes unlocked. And for tegra games, it has a mali gpu, not a ULP so of course it will not play them.

Sounds like someone is jealous of the SGS2 specs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Well the CM team already said the battery driver was haywire. My chinese android tablet was like that, it would say it was at 15% within minutes, but would run for like 4-5hours.

CM7 is almost among us and hopefully you guys will get a more accurate reading. My battery life is amazing. Heavy use and I get a 20% warning around midnight (8am-midnight). This is also under the assumption that you know the phone is new and I can't put it down. This is with a PUSH exchange, Gmail, Facebook/Twitter LP widgets, gaming, and normal phone use.

Of everything, the battery is the last thing I can complain about.

Comparing the phones here are things I don't like:

No HDMI port (separate attachment)

Lack of a dedicated Search button (I use this religiously)

No Tegra 2 which I suspect will be really big when it comes to gaming.

Those are just a few things I notice hardware wise. Software wise I don't know.

The locked bootloader is a drag. Rooting shouldn't be a problem as we've had rooting capabilities on the N1. I'm sure just like with our G2x phones, it should use the same exploits.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
Even if the battery driver is wonky, it still is lasting only 9 hours for me, in real world time. It's fully charged because I leave it charging all night when I go to bed. So from full charge, no matter what the reading says, to dying and shutting down after 9 or 10 hours is real.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vitaminxero:
Looks like the SGSII people are happy so far. Dunno what you're LOLing at.

I'm just happy P990/999 is cheaper =)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I'm not sure what is being done differently. Have you tested it on a bare bones stock config (right out of format and setup)?

The is one thing that I think is so weird how there are lots of varying problems across the board. Like some people have greyed out options while others have bad battery life.

Here are my About Phone info. Maybe we have varying software loads:

Your battery drain is easily fixable. Get "wheres my droid power" from the market (It's Free) and see what is eating it. I've had 2 issues. One was yahoo mail for some ungodly reason it was eating my battery like mad. I FC'd it and its been fine since. The other was Wifi calling. Even though it was disabled it was eating 5x the battery of any other app, ALL THE TIME. I froze it out (luckily I don't use it often) and I have had 0 problems since. I am nearing 15 hours today w/ 3 full hours of display on games/surfing/what have you plus about 30 min of phone use and a couple of five minute or so speakerphone calls.

Eh thats good to know. That deserves a "Thanks". I typically go into #*#*4636*#*# and look there but it isn't that helpful.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
My battery is fine. Guess I got a better one than you. I take my G2X off the charger at 5am and it doesn't need to go back on the charger until 7pm with moderate use. With heavy use it still lasts until I get home from work at 3pm. Much better than my Vibrant did.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
galaxy s-2 is a beast

gret phoen 2 downsides.

1) gaming is not as fast as the tegra (but im sure good enough) and of course no tegra games(until someone figures out how to make it work)

2)this is the biggy- the mhl connection has some cool specs to it including charging the phone through hdmi. but no devices(tv,steros etc) have this capability yet so you cant hdmi mirror and charge at the same time currently and wont be able to without buying a new device.

Hopefully someone will come out with a box to place between tv and phone to do this charging rather than having to buy new tv's :)

other than that i think this is the best speced phone coming out. but am happy with the g2x and dont think that there is anythig glaring that says oh damn wish i had that one. i think both devices are awesome.

I'm still content with the x2, but Engadget released it's review of the SGSII and said it's pretty awesome.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jree:
I didn't want to be the one to say it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kampf:
There are several reasons that the SGS2 will have better battery life overall than the G2x.

Tegra 2 runs both cores at the same clock speed at all times. There are no independent clocking mechanisms like those found on most, if not all, other A8/A9 dual-core ARM chips.

AMOLED only uses the pixels that are turned on. If you're displaying a the home screen on an AMOLED display, with a black background, only those pixels displaying colors other than black are using energy. SAMOLED+ is even better because it's full pixels, not PenTile.

I was going to nab the Sensation, but I'm compelled to wait for a comparative review of the two or three most important phones this year: G2x, SGS2, and Sensation.

Vlad's review on engadget is pretty much what I hoped for. He really did give valuable feedback on the phone, something I wish Myriam would have done better for the G2x review.

This is just from the first page of this subforum and all these are seperate issues that people are having with this phone. The more and more I hang out here to try to convince myself that this is a phone that will replace my Vibrant, the more this forum has convinced me to wait for the GS2.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wondercoolguy:
Lets be fair the week before this review when they reviewed the G2X they called the G2X the best smart phone. Now they reviewed GS2 and its the best phone in the world, Next Month it will be a different phone....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
You didn't have a galaxy s did u? Even with brightness all the way down and using as much black as possible the display was the biggest battery killer always. Amoleds might not use any power to display blacks but they make up for it displaying every other color. I have never gotten better battery life than I have with my gx2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jree:
I have a Vibrant right now and its battery life is awesome and I use my phone religiously. To the point where I think I'm developing carpal tunnel from using it so much. No mid day recharge but I definitley have to recharge it every night. No black wallpapers, brightness turned all the way up, and I do use live wallpapers. The Axura, Nero, and Trigger roms are badass.

OK, my last guide sucked and wasn't detailed.

Here's another go.

Now, your going to need CWM installed, this:

http://www.mediafire.com/?bb7o66282bqfp6q

and a backup up of your first rom.

Remember the Backup!

Backed up?

Now go into CWM.

Go into Mounts & Storage.

Format system/data. There is a backup, right.....?

Now download this: http://www.mediafire.com/?kw3lrshy2umet7e

Now flash that. Boot into it and follow these instructions:

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Factory_Mode/Skip_Out_of_Box_Experience

Skipped it?

Now root it by flashing the first file you downloaded.

It should now be rooted. Now download this:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20480343/eclair-to-dual-boot-flashable-v0.2.zip

and this:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20480343/prep-dualboot-0.1.zip

Flash prep-dualboot-0.1.zip.

Now flash the eclair-to-dual-boot-blah.zip.

Now reboot holding the home button. Should boot stock.

Did it boot?

Yay! Stock on dual boot.

Now erase system.

Restore just data.

And restore system.

Like start advanced restore, and restore data.

So I can't do this trick with CWM installed on the phone?
[Nook Color Android Development] AidenM:
You can, but once you get back to a normal OS (after getting the dual boot) reflash cwm.

But why do it on a phone?

And, you need CWM. Just need a bootable cwm card.
[Nook Color Android Development] Eddog4DROID:
I followed up until this:

Now erase system.

Restore just data.

If your 1.2 dualboot is rooted. Use NookColorTools and goto Settings, then scroll down and choose I believe is the 2nd or 3rd wifi option from the menu. That should take you to the initial setup up screen where it setups your wifi connection before registering.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjisherwood:
So I'm creating this thread to track availability/delivery of the 32 GB version of the Asus Transformer. I pre-ordered the 32 GB version from Amazon 3 am CST on the 26th, and my order indicates the following.

"Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date. You can cancel at any time."

I haven't heard of any 32 GB availability as of yet and thought it'd be good to see when people actually start getting their hands on these units. I've seen on sites like CDW an estimated availability of May 14th?

Please add any info, links or dates you've seen as to when the 32 GB Transformers might start shipping.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jelster:
Same deal for me. I'm giving them two more weeks to ship, which I think is beyond a reasonable expectation for a model they say launched. If it doesn't come in by then I'll cancel and just wait for the newer tablets coming out in June/July.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ZaelFaroe:
I am in the same boat. Ordered from Amazon at 3AM EST. Keeping my fingers crossed that these exist and just didn't go out with the first batch. If I can just get it within a week or two I will be happy, three to four weeks I will be slightly disappointed at the wait, and anything longer I will probably move on to Samsung.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjisherwood:
Yea I'm given it till May 13th or thereabouts to get it out. Hoping its just a matter of Asus actually delivering them to amazon/other retailers, similar to the dock at the current moment.

I'd maybe cancel and go to the tab if it has a price somewhere in the same ball park as the transformer. Any other tablets out there that will be coming out in June/July that would compare - samsungs is only one i know of at the moment unless there is some google/nexus tablet annouced at Google I/O.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jelster:
Samsung, Google and Amazon are the ones I hear about. Of course only the Samsung is solid. Dell I suppose but they seem to be way behind the curve so far. Sony will probably be very late to market and overpriced, nothing new there! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jelster:
Not many replies, could we be seeing a substantially lower demand for the 32gb?

Does this bode well for us? I mean if demand is low and Asus knows it they may focus on the 16gb and leave us hanging. Alternatively they may push out a bunch of 32gb in the knowledge they'll still move and do so at a more profitable point.
