[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FreddyFresh:
I contacted the company that sold my phone, got the number for Samsung Support, they redirected me to the company "Mobilbyrån" which will re-install and make sure my phone starts working as usual for 45 £. All thought i could done it with a jig on my own, but i rather trust a professional company to do this for me in exchange for my warranty (billing only guilty if warranty denied).

According to "Mobilbyrån" or translated "Phone Agency" this is a ordinary errand and that it's highly possible that this will go on my warranty that is still guilty for atleast 8 more months.

Solution for my problem would be to:

1. Build a Jig to hardware boot the phone into download mode

2. Enter Odin and push a new rom inside (preferebly a stock (android))

3. flash kernel (could be done before 2?)

4. Profit
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spike1985:
I guess there is no way, even for Samsung, to find out if there was a third party Rom etc is installed as device refuses to do anything. You are only f*** up if they are still able to read out current data somehow... but 45£ is really a fair deal...

send from my SGT with Overcome...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Che62:
Sucks to hear that about your phone. I have a similar model and I managed to CM7 working. I followed a tutorial on this website and I semi-bricked it too at first although I've never had the same problem as you regarding Odin not being able to locate the phone.

Can you tell me the steps you took in trying to flash CM7 on it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Che62:
Also, refer to this topic to see if it can be of any help: clicky
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FreddyFresh:
It was when i were to use Odin the second time.

I managed to flash the speedmod kernel into the original Android ROM (stock). I also managed to install one of the zips that were to be installed throught recovery. But after this (when connecting to Odin) and this was the step where only one of the checkboxes (F.Reset Time i think).

So i made this and the Odin 1.7 told me: "Failed" or such. And i then got paniced, i disconnected the phone since i was so frightened something had gone bad, the phone was turned of and i reset the battery (in and out) and started the phone to notice that image (as told above).

Now i thought: Yeah, lets just reset the phone throught recovery and were kind of happy by the thought of it. So i tried to access it with the 3-btn-combo but as i just remembered is that in Europe this is patched to be removed.

So i thought, lets send a adb shell to the phone throught Android-spk and i connected the phone and sent the command: Adb wait-for-device, nothing happened and the phone couldn't be found by above said softwares.

So i thought: "Hmm... this isn't good"... So i started googling for what reason this could be and i believe it's called "Semi-bricked", that is "Almost" bricked phone.

So i were sad, called Samsung Tech support and they told me to contact "Mobilbyrån Stockholm" who were a tech repair support, they wanted either 45 £ or my warranty insurance if i wanted the phone fixed. I thought... yeah right, so i sent my phone to the company and i am now waiting for what they are about to do with it.

I suppose a jig would work, thought no one i know got one and i have poor skills at constructing electrical or related components so i put up a thread (like this one) at Sweclockers.com and found a guy that had one which he could lend for me, super, just have to wait and see what happens.

I suppose this "Jig" method could work, but will the computer really notice my phone as a device? It doesn't do that now, thats why i am asking.

At all moments i used Terminal for Android phones (throught market: Android Terminal) by sending commands (since 3-btn-combo didnt work):

> "Su" <- needed for Superuser allowance for controlling the phone

> "Adb reboot recovery"

> "Adb reboot download"

And the phone starts with this picture:

Also, in that correct order.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
Since the Galaxy Tab 3G was already released and reviewed, it was easy to be sneaky a gimp the wifi version later since it probably wouldn't get re-reviewed again by most.

With the Galaxy Tab 10.1 being released as wifi first, they can't be sneaky this time. So I doubt the wifi version will be gimped.

[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Mine has only rebootet 2 times in the 6 weeks I owned it - and my battery easily last 2 whole days with max 2-3% drain during an 8 hour night (still running stock rom with only change being using the GO launcher)

I still signed the partition though - for supportive reasons. :)
[LG Optimus 2x] sacredsoul:
Wow? Stock kernal too? I guess so. Do you use any stock rom fixes? Rooted? Haha sorry of the out of topic discussion, just too curious.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
nope - not rooted, no fixes, no titanium backup, no freezing of stock apps - nothing custom at all - except for changing the launcher to the GO launcher

Did the same for my sons O2x which did have frequent BSOD and a few reboots, but since using the GO launcher he's had no major troubles either.

Im not using any of the LG widgets either. I Use Fancy widget as clock/weather widget instead.

I beleive some of the issues may be caused by memory leaks in combination with some unknown factors and by not using the stock launcher or widgets Im less prone to hit those combinations. Also the GO launcher has a manual taskkiller in its appdrawer that lets you see running apps and free memory and kill running apps - I do that every once in a while when it feels to run low on memory instead of manually rebooting.

Not saying this is a cure or anything, only that in my case it seems to help me avoid reaching whatever combination of rogue app / memory leak that cause the reboots and both my O2x are reasonably stable. Mileage may vary and it may not help others.

In any case the software certainly does have some issues that needs to be fixed by LG - I have witnessed it, and therefore I also signed the partition.

We respond in a somewhat sparse 'at all: how far from the Dual dell'Optimus we paid attention to the complaints of users switching off the appliance and software blocks and other discomforts, something we are very sorry but that fortunately only affects a minority of users. By monitoring the signals are working and testing an improved version of sw to be distributed by May.

This new version:

- will bring several improvements to the stability of the product

- fix a bug found with the e-mail synchronization

- solve problems of sporadic non-reachability in the network coverage and redial

As for the Gingerbread goal is to release in the summer. We are the first to have the interest to communicate more precise dates when these are:)

This is why the advice is do not trust too many rumors.

Bye:)

[LG Optimus 2x] velbaek:
For me, the best thing they could you, is to release a froyo rom, and get rid of all their crap. Their launcher is sh***t and laggy, and for me it really destroys the user experience. Think they could save a bit of their image by doing so.

I find it sad that you have to install a custom rom, to get a decent user experience.

But for me, i think this will be the last LG mobile i'll ever spend money on.

I wonder why the techradar guys wrote that the reboot and freeze petition has been widthdrawn?

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...ptimus-2x-black-screen-of-death-claims-955294

Even though LG would release a new firmware, there is no way to fix hardware related issues with software.

LG has two choices:

1. refund the money if the customer is not happy

2. replace the phone with a working one

Why should the user try and fix the phone and risk to brick it using their more than questionable software upgrade app?
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Propably paid off by LG

Someone should post replys on tech radar stating that no updates for these issues has yet been released and that the petition certainly has not been withdrawn.
[LG Optimus 2x] StardustOne:
Oh that would be quite lame, yet from what I experienced so far I would not be surprised if LG is desperately buying the reviewers opinion.

I was wondering anyway, why so many sites had praised this product without even warn the users. If reviewers praise LG produts in the future, I will not believe a single word of what they say.

First dual cpu phone and the first one who got an online petition with over 800 voices to tell them what to do to fix the issues. And no one from LG is listening.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Problem with reviews is they only have the phone a few days to do some quick testing, and often its pre production phones where any issues noticed are promised to be fixed before release by the manufacturer.

But when they finally do get released to customers, some times many issues still arent fixed and customers doing more longterm day to day testing find alot more issues that reviews didnt reveal.

Optimus Dual delay in updating the end of May.

released by LG in the Box on Thursday, May 26, 2011 at 14:01

.

We regret having to announce that the software version expected by the end of the month - in order to solve the instability problems alleged by some customers - has been postponed for several weeks. Troubleshooting is taking longer than expected because of the systematic nature of the anomalies reported, involving only a part of owners of LG Dual Optimus. Many customers have found the solution to instability in fact known (and reset the product off the phone is charging) with the upgrade to version V10b, we recommend that in any case to make. We also recommend that you reset the product to the factory settings using the menu "Privacy" after the upgrade.

However, we are aware of the hardships that some of you are trying with our product. All resources are stretched to the limit of LG to release a best software as soon as possible, but at present we have to move the deadline for issuing the second half of June. We will do everything possible to bring forward this date. We apologize again with all of you who have given us confidence when you buy LG Dual Optimus.

More news on the software release will be released on the official media, or the Facebook fanpage "LG in the Box" and "Italy LG - Life's Good"and the official blog LGBlog.it.

Well here is the Cyanbread theme from CM7 that some of you may like, but noticed that the Checkboxes and the Radiobuttons for MDPI are well a little not so nice looking, I found an APK wich had fixed checkboxes, but not yet the Radiobuttons, So I changed those and TBH they look nice. Its sharp and eye candy on the Hero now.

Just replace the old Cyanbread with this one and set the permissions correct.

Reboot choose and be happy.

[General Questions and Answers] tuxpengs:
I have a golf course mapped out in Google Earth. In Google Earth, my rulers and whatnot are set to yards. Once I save the KML file and have my web developer put it onto my website, I can use it in my GPS on my Android Phone. It works great except for it shows distance only in feet and mileage. I have worked with my web developer to come up with a solution, but have had no luck. We are importing it into the standard GPS application on the Android OS. I want to work it this way so my golfers don't have to download a third party application. I am wondering if any of the following are possible.

1. Is there any way to change the scale that the GPS shows through a variable or other method?

If we could have it go from miles, down to yards at a certain distance and then feet at a certain distance to a place, it would make it ideal.

If not, can we adjust when the scale switches to feet, because currently, it stays at .1 mile down to 500ft. I need it to show feet from around 2000 feet.

If we need to run some sort of patch on the gps, it may be ok if it is seamless...can we patch the current GPS software to behave the way we want it.

I really want this to be web based for simplicity's sake, I don't think this should be that hard. It's looking more and more like we may need to use an actual custom app instead of the standard google gps. Any direction anyone can point me in would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aasoror:
I remember reading that v08 works better on most ROMs.

I wanted to check the ROM Manager capabilities, it asked me to install CWmod to unleash its powers. When I confirmed, v2.5.1.8 was installed, which did overwrite my v08 (installed since day one).

First thing to notice is now the 3 birds VS splash screen is gone :( (not sure if that a side effect of v2.5.1.8.

My questions are:

- is there something particularly bad about v2.5.1.8 ? I have CM7 installed, anyone experienced problems with this combo ?

- how to revert to v08 ? by reinstalling it ? (the recovery folder and the update.zip) ?

- would reverting bring back the 3 VS birds ?! or there is something that got corrupted in the process of CWmod installation ?

Any insights are welcomed,

TIA
