[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
I don't understand the loyalty some people are having to a hunk of plastic. It's a prime example cognitive dissonance over a $500 purchase. It's a flawed phone, regardless of whether it's hardware or software flaws.

Since I left it for another phone, I haven't had to make a single excuse for my new phone. That's what $500 should buy you, the happiness of not having to give excuses as to why your phone does this or that or why you have to turn this off for that to work, etc.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Amd4life:
imo, if the unit has issues, which it does LG should just man up and fix it, those that got early failed unit, should get replacements

I paid full retail for mine, and tried to get a replacement, and they acted like they had never heard of any of the issues.

Tmobile is a good company customer service wise, but the early batches were just not up to par for $500 electronics

and that new $50 restocking fee for smartphones is also not very cool also

I wish I had the luck like some of the people here who were able to trade in two and three phones till they got a good one
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
I got a replacement when the "factory reset" would not solve the problem (problem with stock camera and EB leaked GB generic camera - dark photos without constantly upping the white balance and very dark screen on barcode scanner and other similar apps).

However, I am now going to return the new unit, as I got the original going OK, and reinstalling some apps like purchased GPS program is a hassle,, and the original unit is only 1 month old. The issues with other scanner apps may be an issues with the unit (same on replacement), but they all work OK on EB 1.0.4 so going to stay with it.

Wish I could ship off to someone who really needs it, but am running up against their 7 day return policy (tomorrow it has to be shipped). It also came with a prepaid UPS sticker for the return.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
This is actually a known issue involving the brightness level. If set wrong, it causes apps that use the camera to look dark.

How many threads are you going to make about this? You're a moron.... Read my post here:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
I thought that might be the case, but the exposure setting always goes back to default (O) when I exit the cameras. For some reason, I have the RB camera and the apps working OK, but the replacement unit not.

In any case, I would have thought the default settings should work OK and that it should take a low setting ro screw things up. Strange.

Hello.

I am having trouble rooting my LG P990.

Android 2.2.2

Kernel 2.6.32.9

Build FRG83G

LGE Version LGP990-V10b

I have tried SuperOneClick 1.7 and the latest version (1.9.1).

Failed after trying to install Busybox.

I have also tried Z4root 1.3

I have also tried the method explained on Cyanogenmod Wiki

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=LG_Optimus_2X:_Rooting

and have gotten stuck at the command

/data/local/busybox cp /data/local/su /system/xbin/su

I am returned this error:

can't stat '/system/xbin/su': Not a directory

So yes. I have checked other threads. Does anyone have any good ideas on what I should do next to get this phone "permanently" rooted?
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Try installing Pauls clockwork. No preroot required, it uses psneuter to create root. After that push busybox and superuser.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
SuperOneClick also uses the psneuter exploit, so if one works, they all should.

I use SOC v1.9.1 yesterday on my phone (as I briefly reverted to stock for some testing), and it worked first time.
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Well, he does not state that the exploit dont work..

I have never had problems with soc either..
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
PSneuter roots successfully but the entire thing fails when i cannot seem to install busybox

Checking for busybox

Copying busybox (/system/xbin/)...

cp: can't stat '/system/xbin/busybox': Not a directory

OK

chmod busybox (/system/xbin/)...

Unable to chmod /system/xbin/busybox: Not a directory

OK

Installing busybox (/system/xbin/)...

/system/xbin/busybox: not found

FAILED
[LG Optimus 2x] reidar.ostrem:
Well, have you tried installing busybox any other way? If you are not comfortable with adb, i think you can install busybox from titanium and see if titanium gets root at the same time ...
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
Skipped the whole thing and used CWM. =P

Used Paul's CWM. Replaced the .img with one for cyanogen.

Followed the rest of the steps here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=LG_Optimus_2X:_Recovery_and_CyanogenMod

Now running CM7.1Nightly10

[HD7 General] homer.web:
If you’ve used the unofficial ChevronWP7 updater tool and then received a 80180048 error message in Zune, you have a very easy solution for that, at least if you are a HTC HD7 owner.

I recieved this error when I tried to install security update 7392. So I downloaded the latest official image for my phone from this site and flashed it to my O2 DE HD7. After that there was no 80180048 error during the update process and phone has now 7392 build.

You can find at least 16 branded ROMs for HD7 right here: http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=783

Yes, but after this your device is no more unlocked. So it´s the question, what you prefer, an unlocked device or the new update.

i got a used Galaxy S 4G today and i see that have Vibrant ROM...this is Possible?

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] golmar88:
NO! This is not possible. Though the phones are close, they are not the same. Only flash what is in the Galaxy S 4G forums. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
The Vibrant file system is different from the SGS4G. Vibrant Roms don't work on the 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mmcq:
Could be flash?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
The only Roms that can be flashed for the 4G phone are on the Dev Page Here. Your choices are: Stock DEODEXED KD1 [Root][EDT][5.4.2011]. Stock DEODEXED KC1 [Root][Einherjar Dev Team][4.21.2011]. ][STOCK UVKD1 - FLASHABLE] T959VUVKD1 Zip File. T959VUVKB5 Stock + Root. T959VUVKC1 [LEAK] 100% Stock. Deodexed KB5 Enhanced archive. You will have to use ODEN or Hiemdall to flash these ROMs. Read the DEV page to see if you want to try one of these or wait until CWM is working and other ROMs become available.

[Xoom General] zehkaiser:
I'm pretty disappointed in the Xoom so far. My Droid X seems to perform better than it, despite it's single core. Is there hope for the following issues? I don't want to return my Xoom, but I'm just a tad upset spending so much on it...

These are the problems I'm having:

Slow downs using YouTube app

Slow downs on home screens and app drawer

Poor browser performance on all browsers (speed, display, text input)

Video recording and playback is choppy/unreliable

Bluetooth tether to Droid X is hit and miss (WiFi works fine)

Volume buttons are darn near impossible to use (lol)

I realize these are all software issues, and CAN be fixed, but does it seem likely? I know the G1 still has development going on and just want to get the most out of this mammoth.
[Xoom General] gnackattack:
I hate to say it, but I think there might be something wrong with your XOOM since I have experienced none of those problems. Perhaps it needs a factory reset or something?

I definitely agree regarding the volume buttons though, very frustrating to use! Thankfully you only have to hit either one once and then you can control the slider on screen.
[Xoom General] p2flol:
Only problem I have from your list is youtube HD playback. Rest is perfectly fine.
[Xoom General] aholstenson:
I've found the Xoom to be sluggish at places, even after factory resets. I do think it's a software problem as my O2X (same Tegra chip) isn't slow at all.

Overall it feels like Honeycomb was a bit rushed, and that some things could use a bit more performance tuning.
[Xoom General] xkatmai:
I think this may be some issue with your device hardware. I got no such slowdowns on my xoom. I concur sometimes youtube hd playback can be sluggish, but it depends on the wifi you're connectrd to speed.
[Xoom General] omnia1994:
mine works fine except hd videos in youtube. disable the hd once u can n it will be fast. u can try a factory reset too
[Xoom General] nebenezer:
one question: How long have you had your xoom?

The reason I ask is for the first couple days after i got my xoom I was AMAZED by how much slower it was than my EVO. After a couple days though it seemed to smooth out and pick up speed.

Overall I'm less impressed with the xoom than I expected to be but I would recommend to any new xoom owner to reserve forming any opinions about it until it sees at least a couple days use.
[Xoom General] zehkaiser:
I guess I'll ride it out for a few more days. I've had it about 4 days. I'll likely go play with a display and see what I get.
[Xoom General] chbennett:
Have you flashed a new kernel? The latest tiamat kernel is (in my experience) smoother then stock (and has SD support). But the main thing is wait a few more days for the slowness to stop.

Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.
[Xoom General] jayq:
also you might want to take it back and exchange it i had a bad power button and a few of the problems you have stated in your post so i took mine back and exchanged. Second one worked great and fine so i decided to keep my xoom and root it. :)
[Xoom General] scsa20:
Never had any of those issues listed either. Might want to try the Tiamat kernal and see if that helps out.
[Xoom General] jiwengang:
Maybe a lemon. Go back to exchange it. Mine is working kicking ass.
[Xoom General] zehkaiser:
OK, so I installed the 1.4.1 Tiamat kernel and wiped data. She seems to be running much better now. The typing in web pages is still a little slow, but I no longer get repeated letters when typing quickly. That was a big problem. I'm much happier, but some things are still a little slow. Looks like things could get better. Thanks for the help. If it's still slow next week after no wipes I'll exchange it as suggested.
[Xoom General] tinpusher:
I noticed the same thing. I rooted as soon as it was available and even with OC it just wasn't smooth. I couldn't get a single live wallpaper to run without slowing the Xoom to a crawl. Then last night I flashed the latest Tiamat kernel and its like a brand new Xoom!

I was going to go back to factory to see if that was the issue, but instead I tried the kernel first. So the two things I did was flash Clockwork recovery and flashed the Tiamat kernel (which cleared cache and Dalvik cache). Whatever it was, its awesome and I have been downloading all the live wallpapers just cause I can!
[Xoom General] mobius999:
Mine was a little slow as well and seemed to balance out. Still not as smooth as my Evo for video though, which is depressing. I really expected to see updates by now to fine-tune things.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
The silicone cover from Moto completely resolves the volume button issues by making them more prominent and easy to find.
[Xoom General] minhqp107:
This doesn't sound anything like a xoom to me. Mine has been running very smoothly from the moment I first turned it on. I even tried to OC to 1.5Ghz but then I changed back to 1Ghz cause it was unnecessary. Maybe you should ask moto to check if there's anything wrong with ur xoom or even get you another one .

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] golmar88:
I have seen this asked quite a bit around here lately. Thought I would put this out there for reference. Let me know if you have better ways/I have it totally wrong.

FIRST METHOD (easiest/most common)

1) Power phone off

2) Plug USB into computer

3) Hold vol up + vol down

4) Plug USB into phone while still holding the vol up and vol down

5) Yellow /_\ (triangle, Downloading, Andy shoveling, Do not turn off Target!!! symbol)

Your now in Download mode

SECOND METHOD

1) Power phone off

2) Plug USB into Computer

3) Plug microUSB into phone

4) Hold pwr + vol up + vol down

5) When Batt icon goes away, release pwr, still holding vol up + vol down

6) Yellow /_\ (triangle, Downloading, Andy shoveling, Do not turn off Target!!! symbol)

You should now be in Download mode.

THIRD METHOD

1) Power phone off

2) Pull battery out

3) Hold vol up + vol down

4) While holding vol up + vol down, plug in USB cable into the phone

5) While still holding vol up + vol down, put battery back in

6) Yellow /_\ (triangle, Downloading, Andy shoveling, Do not turn off Target!!! symbol)

You should now be in Download mode.

FOURTH METHOD (adb)

1) Enable debugging on your phone (Menu>Settings>Applications>Development>)

2) With phone on, plug USB into computer and phone

3) Open cmd

4) Type in "adb devices" (not totally necessary, but I always do it just to make sure everything is good), making sure it recognizes your device

5) Type in "adb reboot download"

6) Yellow /_\ (triangle, Downloading, Andy shoveling, Do not turn off Target!!! symbol)

You should now be in Download mode.

If you have CERTAIN GB bootloaders it changes the the way you access download and recovery.

Download mode = vol down + pwr (NOT - vol up + vol down + pwr)

Recovery = vol up + pwr (NOT - vol up + vol down + pwr)

Like I said, let me know if any of this should be changed. :)

*Edit- Changed steps 4 & 5 in "THIRD METHOD", per comments.
