[Epic 4G General] ddialogue:
What was the end result of this? Did you get it sorted out?

My Epic started showing this same behavior yesterday. Not recognized in ODIN, ADB, Mass Storage mode or downloader mode. Tried three cables (two Samsung and one HTC) and four different computers and the result is the same: charges but not detected as a USB device.

Bad USB port on the Epic?
[Epic 4G General] goodpup420:
same problem for me

started having the same problem here after flashing back to stock ec05 from the new mtd cm7. im using the blackberry cable but it wont recognize my phone in odin or anything. i did everything correctly to get back to ec05 so i tried updating ota to gingerbread and it didnt fix it. only blessing is everything is stock so i can just take it into sprint but id rather not have to

maybe i'll setup soemthing with JPsoft.com's take command to automate it..

since it does batch file like ftp usage.

either that or tasker...

i'm a little disturbed at all the clutter on my sd card from various aps though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagercrow:
I love this phone, but t-mobile sucks. I can't take the ****ty service anymore. I've had more dropped calls in the past 2 weeks than I've had with Att, sprint, and Verizon over the past 10yrs.

I originally thought I'd be able to use att towers, but we all know that isn't yet possible.

Not sure what carrier and phone to go with now. hmmmm....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikett26:
What is Tmo's coverage map look like in your area? If it was bad to begin with, then you should be expecting this coming in.

If not, then you may just have a bad device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
not sure about dropped calls, but T-mobile signal coverage does suck :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
You meant to say Tmobile sucks in you location because it doesn't suck in mine (Baltimore) but you know who's service does suck in my area. ATT and Sprint. My wife's iPhone gets multiple dropped calls though out the week and there data speeds suck. Sprints WiMax is laughable and always gets static on the line. Tmobile however has insane 4g speeds where I live and I average 8mbs DL and 3mbs UL in and around Baltimore. Not to mention I haven't had a dropped call since I can remember. I don't even remember the last time I went without service. In the end there is no point for me to pay more and get less. A post like yours is all subjective depending on where you live and in the end, this thread is idiotic. Nobody wants to hear you high about carrier service in a forum dedicated to a device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ScooterG:
Try here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagercrow:
It shows as covering everywhere. I wouldn't have gotten the phone if the coverage maps were accurate. I get 3g att coverage on my company phone when I have 0 signal with tmobile.

Driving my kids to school 8 miles away I have NO service for 80% of the drive, never had issues with any other carrier. I can pretty much count on ONLY getting service if I'm at or near a city center.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kirdroid:
In my area I have great t-mobile coverage and I had att before which was very bad.

So go for the network which works best for you. No point in cribbing here since I guess no can help you. All it does is a flame war.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagercrow:
I'm just frustrated cause I like the phone so much. Don't need to get your panties in a bunch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] big_d093:
I get great service in my area (Indianapolis) with T-Mobile 4g damn near all day hardly ever drops to 3g and 4 bars everywhere I go..NO DROPPED calls ever I've been with T-Mobile since 2005
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Androidfreakz:
After being with att, Verizon,and sprint, T-Mobile is by far the coverage for me on my area of Dallas TX, I sit at 1 bar with Verizon in the house if I'm lucky, sprint is always no more than 2 and att is the 2nd best for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thunderstruck!:
I'm having a fair amount of problems with lost signal, and all I did was upgrade from my Nexus 1. Still live in Chicago, still drive the same routes, but before where it was not an issue it is now. Which forces me to conclude it's either SW that still needs improvement, or hardware a la Apple's infamous antenna problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
sprint=over priced/behind the curve (4g?!?!?)

At&t = big bill/****ty network and customer serivce (in my area... i was a customer for 4 years)

verizon= jacked up plans/high prices no customer loyalty or service..... (good service tho in my area)

T-mo= great customer service/decent service (my area) and i got a free g2x from them so suck it

/thread go get a trac phone

stop making useless threads how your gonna get better phones/service NO ONE CARES rant about it on your myspace page

KTHXBYE
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
I love your threads today...Stop making me laugh. It hurts when I laugh.

I have to say though that I think the I'm leaving posts have their place. If I'm researching a potential phone, I'm interested in disgruntled customers and their rants. They helped me decide on this phone for instance.

While there are a few(I'm leaving posts) for the G2X, there are not that many. And when someone is leaving for a bs, unenlightened, not ever gonna be satisfied reason, it's usually pretty apparent. But go to Androidforums and see all the complaints about the Indulge. There are legions of users who are unhappy. If one person is detered then the people who've posted have helped.

Thank Zeus for the forums. An educated consumer is a powerful one. You have to have a lot of opinions to make an informed decision. Even the redonkalous ones LOL.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cnraghu:
I drive between NJ and PA around 70 miles to work everyday. Never dropped a call even while on drive all the way. Tmobile coverage is very good. It sure hops between 2g and 4g, but that is due to the software. AT&T is not at all good in my area.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
8 miles to school!!! damn. Must not be in the city

Tmobile works well in the cities but not so much in-between. I travel and it sucks sometimes. Airports are the worst. ALL AIRPORTS SHOULD HAVE GREAT COVERAGE ON ALL CARRIERS... but they don't. With AT&T and Tmobile I'm often left with little to no cell signal. Verizon has the best coverage and is the most reliable. AT&T is second with Tmobile last.

90% of the time I am within the city and get great 4G data speeds and a reliable network.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ejhyun:
I am always amused by how people are so easily affected my the media machine. BMW is the ultimate driving machine, Verizon is the best, Mercedes never break, blah blah blah...

I have Tmo in SoCal...I've had ATT, Sprint and Verizon. I would not trade Tmo's customer service for any or all of the other 3's claims. Sprint and ATT's data speeds are laughable here. Verizon is good but not worth 3x the price. ATT I think spends all their time trying to make their automated phones menus more torturous. The last time I needed to call ATT, I spent 2 hours calling number after number and never got my issue resolved. I cancelled all my ATT services at that point...took nearly all day to do it but boy do I feel good about it now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blestsol:
Same in baltimore with good service.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Do you feel better now? :rolleyes:

I live in Kansas City, location of the Sprint World Headquarters, and can't recieve a Sprint signal in my house.

Do you have a point?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] N1user:
Try complaining to AT&T for not carrying the G2X...problem solved.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jeffreynew23:
Tmobile is great in my location and wifi calling will not go against minutes pretty soon. You simply cannot beat that at all .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
I'm activated as of this morning. So far so good. I really am liking what I'm seeing in this phone!

Really, if you have issues, it's all a crapshoot with these companies. All of them. They are just too big.

It's like it has to be a perfect storm...the right issue, told to the right rep (knowlegable), in the right mood (got lucky that morning),with the right attitude (yours). Mostly though, the experiences with these huge companies are not pleasant. But if you are in the right, that helps a lot.

I've found that if you have a legitimate gripe, are polite and persistent, you can usually get what you want. Usually.

I have to say I have had three different really bad experiences with Sprint, so they don't count...they are just bad. (LOL?) Never ever again. 3 strikes they're out.

Edit..And I also can honestly say that metropcs's customer service has always been good. Tough to get a live person, but they shine compared to Sprint and considering they are a low bidget operation. If they get some good phones and fix their 4g issues I'd think about going back. Can't beat their business model.They're having technical issues w/ their 4g right now.

But I can usually get what I want if I'm in the right.

Look at all the people who are talking about being on their third and forth and even fifth phones. This sounds like good customer service to me. I see people absolutley out of their minds on LGs own site screaming about how LGs promises are so empty and token. But jeesh this thing has only been out for a few weeks. It takes time to develop new software. These same whiners would be out of their minds if LG released a buggy update! Seems to me they are doing he right thing so far.

Read the posts at LG. They're comical. LG says we're on top of it, update coming SOON. And people are just jumping all over it. How dare you say we're on top of it! ha ha! Less than 4 weeks old. Poor LG, can't win for losing.

On a side note, I've been trying to sign up to their forum since friday. I just cannot seem to sign in. Opened three accounts w/ 3 diff emails. and none will work. The definition of irony, I want to sign in so I can defend LG, and I can't! Oh well... (2nd edit) Had an email from mod...was using my username to sign in instead of my email...it did say "username" LOL

Anyway, the screen bleed is the only issue I've seen that can't be fixed easily.

I definately see it on both the phones I got. As it is now, I can certainly live with it. It's just not that bad IMO. I have only noticed it on the opening black screen. If it was worse....? I don't know. But I know that I have the option to return it and if it gets worse, it's on me. I do realize that some are worse. But many of the pics I've seen are at about the same level as mine.

My bottom line? Quit whining. There are worse options. This phone is sweet. So far, I like my reception, wifi works good, surfing speeds are nice (have yet to try speedtest), no resets (barely used it though), automatic communications from tmobile have been timely and helpful. Youtube videos play better than my cheep hp laptop does. Kewl.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] busab:
I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile last week (hard not to after being offered a free G2x). So far I really like the service. I live in Greenville SC and I get a good 4G signal everywhere I go. No dropped calls as of yet.

I have yet to travel with this phone but considering that would only account for around 2% of my total usage its kind of moot point considering how much im saving a month compared to Verizon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] piztol44pete:
i cant be 100% sure but i think it's the device and not the service. I have great 4g coverage where i live and i kept getting data disconnects all the time, i returned my phone and now it's been working great for the past week. i would recommend you try exchanging it first before moving on. especially if you love the phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vukis:
Hi. My girlfriend`s stock desire eats battery as hell from time to time. I managed to find the culprit- it`s facebook keeping wakelock. Do others experience this? BTW we are exiting facebok app not by pressing home button, but by pressing back. And this issue doesn`t happen always. How to prevent this? Maybe some autokiller may help? What do u guys think?

All facebook sync in settings is turned off
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzumagos:
wierd i guess

how about in-app settings in facebook? try switching sync off there too
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You said, this issue does not happen always. Can you reproduce this problem yourself? Do you do special things when this issue happens?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vukis:
It is turned off..

No special things when this issue occurs. I just launch facebook look at main feed list then hit back twice (first for go back to main screen with facebook icons and second to exit application).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Look up, which applications and/or services are running in background. Updated facebook on newest version?

Is wifi/3g always on? Wifi and mobile network are real battery killers.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vukis:
Its on mobile network. But *#*#4636#*#* -> battery history partial wakelock shows facebook active all the time. So i doubt it`s a network fault.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Kill facebook by yourself:

Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>choose facebook>press "force stop"

If problem not solved, see what happens when you uninstall facebook completely

I am seeing widget locker priced for $1 on Amazon and was thinking of getting it but I would first like to know if there are draw backs with my phones wake time and battery life? I use CM7 and MIUI as my roms. Any feedback would be appreciated.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I had a few issues with slow wake times, but only occasionally. When unlocking to LauncherPro it would sometimes take 5+ seconds - no problems with ADW Ex or any other launcher/app. All of these issues were prior to the update that included themes, everything past that worked great except widgets and CM7 theme chooser.

I'm not using it at the moment as I realized I rarely would launch anything from it & I'm happy with the MIUI lockscreen. It's worth the full price, and definitely worth a buck. MIUI has the only lockscreen that I don't think is ugly, so next time I switch roms I'll definitely install it again.

I think you should get it.

Widget Locker -> Settings -> "Five Second Rule"

"Widget Locker delayed by five second rule. This is due to pressing the home button less than five seconds ago. Check settings -> Five second rule for Help."

Personally I love it, You can add applications, Widgets(!!!!), and separate settings to your lock screen. You can also set an alternate background on it from the rest of your phone. And there's actually an entire thread with a whole bunch of different sliders for unlocking.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=968613
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Actually it wasn't the five second rule, I had the root bypass option checked and it usually happened after the phone had been asleep for more than 30 minutes. Plus the five-second rule has to do with loading WidgetLocker, not with unlocking. The problem did not happen with any other launcher or when unlocking to any other app that was already open, just to clarify.

I never had that problem on the newer versions. But I also haven't ran LauncherPro in a long time, so I cannot say if the problem persisted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I like widget locker but I too would get hiccups so I eventually just did without it. Btw using it on cm7 either freeze or unistall theme manager. They don't play well together.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdogg:
I bought widget locker and just got tired of the unlock wake time and sometimes unresponsiveness. It might work a lot better on your phone, but for me it became too much of an annoyance. I would also encountered the previous lock screen pop up and quickly turn back into widget locker screen and just became frustrated and reverted back to CM7 stock lockscreen..maybe lack of user knowledge on my part, but did not have the time..you might have a different experience.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowledge561:
Widget locker works great on my phone. Only problem was with my poweramp lockscreen widget. That, widgetlocker, and my phone lock would hiccup.

I really like the idea of widget locker alot, but like alot of others have said it would have lag when opening to launcher pro most of the time.I really wish it played better with my setup cuz its definitely worth the price.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGraphix:
I had it for a while too. I don't use it any more. I stopped because I had some lag time when waking the phone. I'm sure I'll use it again. Maybe the problem is fixed now.

Widget Locker works great on my CM7 rom ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saulhaul:
I've used both MIUI and CM and haven't had any problems with Widget Locker. They developer has been really good about emailing when I had questions too.

For a buck how can you go wrong? I have to break myself of the cheapskate thought a lot of times. I feel like making app purchases is life or death, but will spend money in other areas with much less caution.

I'm sure all of us have wasted $1 on more frivolous things, like a double cheeseburger.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patelkedar91:
Hi guys... I was running MIUI the April 29th/30th build or something. Stock everything.

Today when I was charging it... I started charging my Evo at 8% and it was stuck at 8% for quite some time and it still said "charging."

Then it died and I tried another charger. I would press the power button and the white Evo screen would flash for a second and then die.

Tried another charger and same thing.

Now I can't even get the white Evo screen to flash and nothing happens when I press the power button.

The phone isn't charging and it won't even boot up with or without the battery in there.

I can't get to recovery/bootloader... or anything.

Does this have anything to do with the CM7 problem a while ago? Any simple fix?

This is the only time I've ever had problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Sounds like your battery died. I would try a new battery before anything else.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
Dude that sucks hope it was just your battery a bad one. Running SBC kernels can spank a battery if you were a heavy user nothing to worry about tho batterys are cheap to replace. Some people have issue like that from not wiping right when flashing kernels such as SBC ones and copying over the other one without wiping.

Plus I seen someone else have this issue using miui on there forum. I have no idea what it is but people been trying not to freak about it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
It could be your battery or your charging port - if it's either of those, a fully charged battery should boot you up. You most likely still have a recovery, you just can't get to it because you don't have enough power. If you were charging from a computer, try charging from the wall instead.

If it's your usb port, Sprint should replace your phone for free if you have insurance. I'm not sure of the policy without insurance, as they seem to keep changing stuff like that.

My Evo + xda Premium App = This post.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patelkedar91:
Thanks for the replies guys.

I'm hoping it's a battery thing. Someone elsewhere said that a battery boost was needed because the battery is completely dead or something. I'll just go to Sprint tomorrow and check it out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If you were charging through the computer, the phone could've discharged faster than it was charging. I bought an external charger and three backup batteries on ebay for about $11 with free shipping. It took a couple weeks for it to get here, but I'd suggest getting something similar. I charge my batteries in the external charger and just swap them out when they get low. Now I really get to use my phone & not worry about battery life :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patelkedar91:
Yeah... I remember that deal. I didn't really think I'd need it, but now I wish I jumped on board.

Also, would it hurt if I change chargers? I left my main charger elsewhere and used some spare chargers that my friend and I had. Those didn't work.

Either way, I'll see if it's the charging port or the battery. Hopefully it's the battery.

Luckily I can send/receive texts through sprint's website. I'll have to do that to communicate tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patelkedar91:
I just went to Sprint and got my battery boosted. It works now.... incase anyone else runs into this problem.

I'm sorta' blaming the SBC kernels...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
It's NOT the SBC Kernels. Even HTC recommends not draining the battery fully and says wait til you're below 50% to recharge.

thousands and thousands of people use SBC kernels with no problems. Just because you're in the >1% that has a problem and happens to have an SBC kernel doesn't mean it's the kernel's fault.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patelkedar91:
I did drain the battery fully... then it died completely.

However, I probably shouldn't have pointed fingers to the SBC kernels. I've just heard of other cases on XDA with a similar problem and I may have been quick to accuse.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I doubt it was SBC, it's fairly common for the battery to get moody over being drained completely.

I blame mass hysteria for you blaming SBC kernels. Glad you're back up & running :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
That draining the battery thing = bad! :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njonas01:
Great

So glad it was just a battery issue!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrJunpei:
I seem to be in the same boat. I guess I'll bring my battery to sprint asap and see what's the deal. I'll post my reply to tell you what happens but basically the samething has happened to me

I got to the show and it wasnt the one that did the repairs but they said this is really common and refered me to a spot in the city. Gonna head there a bit later and tell you the results
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mikeyinid:
This is a little update to the mostly stock ROM I posted when we first got the NS4G. It is mostly the same, I updated the kernel to matr1x 1.2ghz cfs kernel. Its been working well for me. It is deodexed/zipaligned. It has dreamsforgotten's Quick Panel mod, so huge thanks to him for the time he put in porting it. I removed any apps that can be downloaded from the market, I think g-mail and voice are newer than the ones that came on the phone.

Here is another small update. I updated the market, tweaked a few things, and added the matr1x cfs kernel by mathkid95. It is oc'd to 1.2 at boot so setcpu is not needed.

ROM v.0.1.1

ROM v.0.1.1 w/Matr1x 1.4 and smartass

This new kernel still boots at 1.2, but it has a 1.4 slot also. It is also bfs.

No sd card, like its not mounted? Try a reboot and see if that helps. My phone has been doing that since I rooted, before I even put this on it. A reboot helped.
