I had the issue where it force closed as soon as I opened it and clearing data didn't work. There was actually another entry on my phone that was causing issues. I think it was in data\data. I deleted all youtube entries (searched with root explorer) then cleared Dalvik and downloaded and installed youtube from market. Worked fine after that.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccpharrell:
Same here, same thing happens to my visual voicemail, neither will work until I power cycle. Then they will both work fine for a while, then randomly stop again.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elrey75:
There are three different errors, "not available in your country", "not available on mobile devices", and "there was a problem while playing, Touch to retry" that last one is the one that makes the youtube app unusable.
[Streak 5 Accessories] briansj:
Bought a 3rd party data/charging cable for my Streak and I noticed that it took 2-3 times longer to charge that the Dell cable. Anyone having this same issue?
[Streak 5 Accessories] roubroeks:
Yes, experienced the same thing! If the battery is low on power the charging goes relatively quick but charging slows down after >65% recharge. I also noticed that the cables did not charge the Streak via my laptop's USB. I also noticed that a Nokia telephone charger (5V 500mA) charges more quickly compared to the stock Dell charger (5V 1000mA).

Go figure!
[Streak 5 Accessories] SamSHUN:
same here,

I heard that some cable is made to be for the purpose of data transmission,

while other is for charging.

not sure if this is the reason.
[Streak 5 Accessories] rebski:
This is a curious issue. I bought the 3ft cable from ebay seller ewwtnet and see no such problems.

I had assumed that all of these cables were from the same manufacturer but perhaps not.:confused:
[Streak 5 Accessories] carhigh:
I got two 6 foot cables off eBay and they work just fine in the house. The car I use a real car charger and not the USB adapter/data cable method.

I noticed the Metal Sense skin was for some reason omitted from the DInc2. Does anyone have a Metal.apk that works?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
nope but if found can u attach the apk.

prolly one of the cleanest SenseZ skins ive seen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] finitybeyond:
Hopefully someone with an IS can be kind to extract and post the Metal.apk from /system/app
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Newt:
I have one if you guys want it

You guys get rooted and I will build you a rooted stock rom

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Deleted member 2776902:
I can only hope. I've used your ROM's, top notch. My Incredible's USB port just quit working today. Took it to VZW, and of course. Out of warranty. So I have to buy something else at full price. Lucky for me, my friend got an Incredible 2, brand new condition with a 32GB SD card. Said he'd sell it to me for $400. So I may be joining you guys over here soon :).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] finitybeyond:
Thank you so much!

Hopefully we can get a permanent root for Inc2 soon. I replaced my first Incredible with an Inc2, and I love this phone. Now all we need is root and some good roms
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Newt:
hate to see you leave brett
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Deleted member 2776902:
I'll probably still be here, until I can afford a replacement. Figures that the USB port would stop working (besides charging) just a week after the one year warranty expired. Which means I'm stuck being stock. I ran the RUU and S-ON to take it to Verizon for a replacement. Forgetting it was just out of warranty. And now I can't root, can't run Unrevoked. Sure, I can temp root with Z4root. But where's the fun in that? No ROM's etc. This sucks :(.

But, once I have the funds. I think I'll just jump here to the INC 2. The thunderbolt is HUGE, and there's no 4G here anyway. At least until the end of the year or 2012. By then I'll actually have an upgrade anyway. Hopefully we'll see a permanent root, either here or for the Incredible S.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Skruffy Jew:
So htc just bought a Dinc 2 and I'm itching to root it, I know there's a temp root for it, but since its been such as long ass time since I've rooted my Dinc OG, I forgot what to do. So I have three annoying questions, one: how do I temp root it and/or where can I find this info, two: is there an eta for a perm root and if so, anybody working on ROMS, and three, help lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Newt:
Brett havebyou tried a different cord my wife will only charge with her cord but if I use mine and get it just right I can get it to work...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Deleted member 2776902:
Yeah, its the same cord I was using. I've used different cords, different computers. Took it into VZW with their confirmed working ones. Didn't matter. Even hboot doesn't recognize it. Usually it would say "HBOOT USB PLUG". So, something hardware related. At least it charges. I'm considering just keeping it as is. Unfortunately I can't root now either. Permanently that is. So it'll just stay stock. At least we know we can expect Gingerbread for it OTA.

First g2x rebooted constantly. Froze up on charger. Required battery pull.

New g2x hasn't rebooted yet. Same SIM card.

My guess is that if yours reboots you got a dud and should exchange it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
The same happened to me. First phone suffered from reboots.

My replacement is fine but I still haven't root it, so I blamed it on the root process.

Is yours rooted?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
To counter your point..

Original G2X - rebooted a lot but then removing apps, software changes have made it more stable. Usually go 3+ days without a reboot

Replacement G2X (sent back) - rebooted just like my first one so i didn't even bother removing apps. SAME BATTERY AS ORIGINAL!

I also think it's mainly the battery which is what you're seeing by getting a replacement. I think some batteries don't charge properly so there are times when the voltage drops too much to sustain the phone causing a lock/reboot. I've been monitoring my phone and the more I think about it the more I realize most of my reboots happen after I had taken it off the charger at 100%. I can use it without charging it and it never reboots. Also battery monitor widgets,etc. cause reboots which all comes back to a bad battery or horrible battery driver which CM devs have already said existed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
After months of being in denial about the same problem which has plagued the O2X since launch, a couple of weeks ago LG Europe acknowledged the problem publicly and said it was software.

http://translate.google.com/transla...alligevel-problemer-med-optimus-2x,lid.15324/

Here's the post on the O2X forum that discusses the problem in gory detail. Interestingly, it says the Atrix is having a similar issue which could certainly point to the processor.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1041546
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
The rebooting is a software issue. The only time my phone rebooted was when I installed an app (Fring). After I uninstalled it, no issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
Neither were rooted. Also, rooting in and of itself is incidental; it would not affect the issue as rooting does not change any of the kernel files.

Very interesting. This corresponds to what I experienced, and I think you may be on to something here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aim1126:
I guess I have been one of the lucky ones. I bought my phone on the 22nd and have never had a reboot or lock up happen. Also my lcd bleeding is pretty minimal. Im still exchanging my phone for a new one because the little black piece of plastic that covers the camera just fell off one day plus I have a dead pixel on the screen that driving me nuts.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
It is not the root process. I thought the same thing the first night after I rooted. The phone would not stay on for more than 5 minutes. The store rep did not believe me and tried his sim card and sure enough after five minutes sitting on the counter it turned off and only by pulling the battery was he able to get is re-started. Some of the phones are screwed up. Swap it. My new one is running great except for the battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
good to know
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
Are you serious with your response to my comment? That was unnecessary as I was being serious and many people can say the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
Oh. Sorry. It just seems that on a lot of threads where people post about problems they are having, you jump in say you don't have any issues and to uninstall something like Fring that works fine on every other phone, so I thought you were trolling.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rhinology:
Although I often manually reboot the phone. I haven't seen one single auto-reboot or freeze, before or after root. So I don't think root is the cause of auto-reboot.

All bloatware are there and running, sometimes I manually close CarHome and TeleNav after reboot, sometimes I forget to do so.

From what I've seen, auto-reboot does look like a hardware problem. To be more specific, those devices are defective.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rhinology:
Just jinxed myself. Right after I replied to this thread I saw first freeze. After pulling battery and putting it back I saw "System Checking..." upon booting, and many force closes after boot was completed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
Just offering what worked for me. If that's not the case then just return your phone. You can keep getting a new one or listen. There's nothing wrong with the phone that a software update probably wouldn't fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] almostinsane:
I think its HW. If its SW it doesn't explain why one phone would reboot and a replacement would not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
+1

Someone explain how the first phone reboots and the replacement does not ( same apps, same usage).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
My 2nd phone has no auto shutdown yet, but I am using new sim card. My ex G2X was using the old sim card.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
My week old today G2x, 4/11/11 build, has never rebooted by itself. The only problems I'm having are flaky behavior switching wifi calling on and off automatically and some back light bleed.

As for how one phone reboots and others don't, it could be software or not. In order to really know for sure you would have to be absolutely certain you had the exact same apps installed in the exact same order, be in the same location at the same time and under the same conditions and loads.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
That could be the cause, since my previous phone suffered from reboots and I was using the old SIM. I started using the new SIM since day one with this phone and still no reboots..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booch137:
Seriously, I've had this same sim card since I signed up with tmo 5-6 years ago and I'm getting 6Mbps download. Factory freak sim card?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
lol, i have a new sim, and have yet to see 6Mb/sec anywhere.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pookeee:
i had that same problem and even opened a maintenance ticket with tmo.. And eventually they realized my sim was only a 3g sim and not a newer 4g sim.. It all sounded like B.S. to me until i ran speed test..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booch137:
According to everybody and their mother on this site, my sim card shouldn't even be capable of 3g speeds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Get a new one. I had one that was 8yrs old and they said it would not allow me to get 4g. A new one came w/ the phone?

I was having probs w/ data movement and they gave me another new one.. so now I have 2 new sims. Are they good for anything? Thinking about pitching one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dougstoner:
Same here. I thought, how could a sim card make a difference, but it did for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
But how old was your previous sim card, for the folks that noticed a difference?

It's difficult to understand considering Tmo's 4g isn't even real 4g.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Last time I got a new sim was when I had my SDA. Since then, I've had the same sim in my SDA, G1, N1 and now G2x. Just ran the Speedtest.net app by Ookla, and am getting anywhere between 4725/1100 to 8175/1753 kbps. I don't think I need the one that came with the phone just yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pockjam:
I work for T-mobile, I have been in the business for 10 yrs total (4 with Verizon). Every customer I put into a 4g phone I replace their sim with the new ones, why??? Because on the rare occasion that I didn't or one of my reps didn't, the customer WILL make a return trip due to signal and data connectivity issues. It's a simple and easy thing to do, I'm sure someone will dispute this, but hey, don't listen to the guy who's been doing this for a decade. When you upgrade, activate new service or buy the phone outright, WATCH THE REP WHEN HE OPENS THE BOX, THEY COME WITH A NEW SIM CARD, THIS IS YOURS, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO IT. No matter if you ask for it or they quietly sneak it away (many sales reps are either lazy or not properly trained), they have to scan them on the receipt, trust me have them activate it, they made new ones for 4g phones on the so called 4g network.
[LG Optimus 2x] VistaX:
Does anyone know why LG has so many different ROMs out there? I've just watched the video tour from Mobileburn of the LG Optimus Black and that ROM has a hole other widgets and a complete different way to add new widgets and shortcuts.

Also the LG Optimus 3D has other widgets, i.e. these.

Will LG melt down all these differences into one Gingerbread ROM this summer?

Edit: Look at this video also, from LG Germany. Seems more smooth, and with a better ROM than our O2X has.
[LG Optimus 2x] VistaX:
Bump!

Anyone know why LG have made the Optimus Black ROM better than their flagships, O2X?
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
To sell it better? Who knows... :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
They spent longer on it would be my guess. The OB has been known about for as long as the O2X, but is seeing light of day 2 months later...
[LG Optimus 2x] Kag:
Usually flagship phones have more attention due to the premium you have to pay for the high end hardware.

It is difficult to complain if your phone costs 50 dollars. That's why expensive phones usually have more attention.
[LG Optimus 2x] VistaX:
I'm just watching phonedog's review of the LG Optimus 3D, and the software looks so much more finished in the browser, with widgets, with weather and finance apps etc.

Wonder what LG is doing...
[LG Optimus 2x] bemon:
The Optimus 2X stock firmware, is really awful, full with crapware (f-secure, ...), too much lags, it is not usable. Samsungs stock firmwares are MUCH better and stable.

I hope LG will fix the 2X stock rom and I can not believe that the optimus black firmware is better than the 2X stock rom (notice, I never had an optimus black in my hands) :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Foetsie:
Can't see much difference in interface???
[LG Optimus 2x] Vidroid:
Hopefully this means that they will be capable of finally making an excellent rom for our device as well.

Hi there

I was pretty surprise to not see any O Black section!!

So I'm going to post it here :

Can any one from you test my Notification App ?

//Damn got a HD crash, lost my private key ==> No upgrade possible ==> New App on the market :(

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.c...tification.Fr

Wondering if it's working on O Black

Thx
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
1. Your link doesn't work

2. What does your app do that this one doesn't?
[LG Optimus 2x] goulloux:
Well I can rather tell you what it doesn't do :

Consume battery.

The one you mentioned consume too much battery for me. On the first versions, the phone was never in sleep mode. Now the situation have improved, but the phone still doesn't go to sleep when you have a notification.

So I decided to do my own. It doesn't impact the sleeping mode. The only power drain will come from the led being ON.

Well, haven't figure out this one yet, guess if I do I'll be rich :D

Other little feature I added : a resume window to access directly to the message when you wake up you phone. Will certainly make it a little bit sexier ^^
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Since it's a free app you perhaps should start a thread...

But I downloaded and tried it with SMS and GMail... default = 2, notification = 10

When I get a new SMS/GMail notification the lights go to 10 once, then turn off totally, and then only come on (at 2) when I interact with the phone. So no blinking... just one flash then off. This isn't the design intent is it?

If you don't want to start a thread, perhaps you can just PM my if you like.
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
Cause LG needed to release optimus 2x fast that is why they used the 1st, unpolished version of the LG home UI instead of the the new one.

remember optimus black and optimus 3d was released 3-4 months later.

i actually have both optimus 2x and optimus 3D and i can say that the newer UI feels more snappy than the O2x's. . and it has better widgets and apps too..

i do feel that the gingerbread update will bring us all that. since optimus 2x afterall is their flagship device.
[LG Optimus 2x] mike-o2:
In Germany both phones were released in early April.
[LG Optimus 2x] xenover:
In my opinion:

Optimus Black - Nice, sleek device but not as fast as the 2X

2X - Speedy (When using custom firmware), FUTURE PROOF (that's a major plus) but could have been a bit smaller in size for a 4" screen.

Optimus 3D - a dying fad device with calibration issues on launch
[LG Optimus 2x] goulloux:
Thx for testing, so you are right, the light it should stay ON when you receive a sms or mail. And turn off when you wake up your phone or read your mail from your computer.

I guess you have an Optimus Black ?

I did start one for the optimus 3D => link

Guess we can continue on this one.

I just checked for Evo value and it said "up to $179". I think they are going for about $100 higher on eBay. But I guess if someone doesn't want to sell on eBay the RS program is a decent option.

Hello,

a few weeks ago i have flashed my HD2 to android, a week later or so it get stuck at the second HTC screen (after the mGADLR screen, also can use the mGADLR bootscreen.. it shows up for a split second and its gone).

Also tried to hardreset but it did nothing (even nog went to the screen where it should say 'warning and shiz'. Another attempt at trying to flashing it back to the official ROM failed, formatted rom, renamed .nbh file and stuff, put it in my mobile, pushed the Vol. Down button + power off. Nothing happend...

Anyone knows what to do?

4 turn you phone on with the volume button down, you see an 3 collor screen

5 plug the usb cable in your phone

6 follow the steps with ruu

I know there is Fring and Qik, etc., but I need to be able to make calls to Skype. I'm not too familiar with the API for cameras in 2.2, but is it difficult (or worth it) to get this to work for the DInc2? Or is the device specificity hard-coded and compiled in the apk and better to wait until the official release?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] finitybeyond:
Oh I see. I'm guessing this is also why apps like ooVoo cannot support all devices with FFC's at the moment and probably why Skype with video is being delayed for so long?

Does that then mean that developers for apps like Qik just make sure to keep up with all the custom FFC APIs as new devices come out?

WHILE i was flashing my galaxy s, my computer shut down! when i tried to turn on the phone it didnt want to start.

I STILL have access to the download mode when i try several times the vol down, home, and power button combo

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoobProof:
1st-why the hell would you like to downgrade your phone to eclair?

2nd-use a full rom with repartition -for example js8 full or jpu- with odin and 512 pit. make sure that your computer doesn't shut down again :D

note: while your computer shuts down while you were flashing boot.bin, sbl.bin or param.lfs your phone will be worth paper weight. so be careful.
