[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
wow... nice dock.. and checking the sized.. the G2 is significantly smaller than the infuse.. this should actually work.. hazaaaaa. Did anyone buy this yet?

You can always return it to amazon with no issue if it doesn't work eh?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gggirlgeek:
Why not one of these universal ones on ebay? Link to my search: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=un...+cradle&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

Particularly this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/UNIVERSAL-DESKT...689784?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2ec60c78

They are soooo much cheaper and I would think reception to the cell tower (4G Internet) would be less likely to be interfered with if none of the rear surface area is covered. With my G2 I noticed that my connection speed and number of bars was a lot lower when I laid it flat on a table. When I either propped it up on the table, or held it flat with just my finger tips (basically leaving the back uncovered) the connection was fast and strong again.

I like this idea too because I can place it anywhere in the room for best reception and run an extension cable to it to keep it charged, while using the the 4G with wifi hotspot on my PC.

I wonder which is best as a homemade tripod. At those prices I could buy 1 of each and try them all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mumbojumbo01:
Any update on this one Huntman? Dont know if you got this ordered or not... just curious
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Well, I just purchased it. Used the super saver shipping (5-8 days@no charge) so I guess we'll know in 5-8 days.

I'll post pics and final judgement as to whether or not it works...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dylanear:
I have the official LG desk and car docks. The desk is not fancy, but it hold the phone up, you just have to plug the power cable in if you're placing the phone in the horizontal orientation.

The car dock is great, solid, great fit. But I may remove the magnet that tells the phone to go into "car mode", since generally that's not helpful to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dn3g3l:
can the car dock be mounted to my dashboard? i don't like sticking to windshield.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
anyone pick this up yet?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
I got it today... and it is sexy!!!

Now for the low down:

-Yes, the phone will connect in (w/o a cover on only)

-there is a gap though on either side, maybe a 1/4" at most

Even w/the gaps, I can still place it on it's side and the phone stays connected,

although, since it's being held up by the slim-usb connector, I can't see it being

good for the phone.

Now for the bummer (well, kinda) to get full functionality of the dock, you have to DL 'Samsung Home Dock' app from the store. Now, since it's free, you wouldn't think it was so bad, until you find out itlooks for the specific samsung fingerprint in the build.prop in order to install (to DL from market as well, I just took the apk file from xda.) So, now I need to find a build.prop that will sneak me through this little speed bump. Shouldn't be hard, just not enough time to search it out tonight.

Fortunately, the speakers on the G2x are so bad ass, even w/o the addt'l speaker built into the dock, it still kicks it out.

I'll get pics posted tomorrow after work.

Over all, considering our options, I think it's a winner!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mumbojumbo01:
Were you able to get the samsung home dock app working?

Any pics you were able to take of it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Sorry, been swamped w/work. I've tried some customizing in the build.prop, but I don't have the experience to figure it out. So no go on the samsung app just yet, but I haven't given up.

As far as the pics, I've just got to UL to my computer to post them. Will do tonight.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
Doesn't Mugen Battery offer one specifically for the O2x/G2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
Here are some pics of the dock, with and w/o my G2x in it. I want to apologize for the fingerprint smudges that are all over it... Who am I kidding, all that proves is how much I love this phone and use it.

Anyway, on w/the pics.

Dock itself, sans phone[obviously]

rear view of dock. here you can see the built in speaker, speaker line out and the mini usb [power] connector.

A good [but very smudgy fingerprint-tastic] view of the phone in cradle.

This is a close up of the gap.

To be fair, as I've said in a previous post, I can set it on it's side while the phone is in and it doesn't sway at all due to how far in the usb connector fits. Still, I have to think it wouldn't be healthy to place it on it's side w/o some kind of cushion. I'm in the works of forming a silicone slide to custom fit it. Once I have time to do it right that is. I'll post pics after I'm done.

As far as getting the Samsung Desk Home to install, I still haven't figured out how to properly modify the build.prop to recognize it :confused: . I've got a post in the modding are of xda for assistance. The last thing I want to do is somehow brick my phone for a dock app [although I would LOOOOVE to be able to use that line out w/my google music beta as an alarm!] but no response yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knux11:
y not just get one of the docks expansys sells? made for this phone, and cheaper.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypmatize:
yeah what knux11 said...

This one looks really nice :D

But I am not sure if this was available when the thread first started...:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
This is what I was talking about -

http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...usb-desktop-cradle-with-2nd-battery-slot.html

Seems perfect to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypmatize:
yeah that is the one... cheaper at mugen too :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
No dealing with wobbliness either since its fit to the phone. It can charge spare batteries to. Plus it looks nice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knux11:
does anyone have these in stock? of the places i've found, none do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypmatize:
I just ordered from mugen it says it should ship on July 8th... hopefully it is sooner then that (it kind of sucks that it says in stock before you go in the cart :(:mad:)

I'll keep you guys posted
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dn3g3l:
ordered the mugen one. does anyone know if the screen will stay on automatically when connected to it? or will i have to download an app to do that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mumbojumbo01:
Would like to know if the Mugen one puts the phone in dock mode - turn on the clock etc... ?

Also is it possible to put it in horizontal mode?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
I don't have wobbliness. Sure there's some space on either side, but not that much. Hell, I could just put a straw on either side if I wanted. That mungen one isn't that different than the model specific dock tmo sales, meh. If I wanted bland, I would've gone that route. I don't mind modding, hell that's what I love about the android OS.

Plus, if I can get that line out and built in speaker working by getting that app to work, I'm way ahead of that mungen.

I'm not dissing it, but middle of the road, plain Jane styling ain't my thing. Again, if it wad I would be sporting the latest iFad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypmatize:
All that and you are not dissing the dock that mugen is selling? I wonder what you would say if you were.:p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypmatize:
Just a quick update... I ordered the dock sold by mugen yesterday and I just got an email saying it was shipped :D

I guess they were not out of stock
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knux11:
yep, me too. same thing. except i ordered it today and a few hours later it was shipped.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
What? I just said I felt it was a bland dock. I could break down the reasons why I don't like it, but it's just my opinion.

I like to have something that is more than just a glorified charger, or at least look good doing it. The mugen doesn't.

I don't need a spare battery, should my usage ever be an issue, I'll get an extended battery that doesn't require a new, larger cover. They've got some reviewed on this very forum that talk about extending life to over 30 hrs. I'm way to lazy to have to not only remember to grab an extra battery for the day, but to have to worry about switching it out!?! Fuhgetaboudit!

Now on this note, I will say I have a solar charger, but I love hiking and camping so that's always in my car to use any time I get the whim.

So there you go, The mugen [or whatever] isn't for me, no one will ever look at it and say, 'wow, that is slick!' Maybe you'll get a 'that's really practical and I bet easy on the wallet.' I paid $15 more and I get the same practicality of the charger, the possibility of external speakers [should I get the samsung app to work, but if not, I won't be heart broken] and the about as close to a piece of art a desk dock will ever be. And yeah, I have gotten several comments on it. But that is what I like, I want the whole package, if I wanted blah, I would get a rock to prop up my phone while it charged.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knux11:
plus, It's a great conversation piece.

"Hey nice dock. put on some music from your phone."

"i can't. the speakers on the dock don't work"

"oh. i hate it when my stuff breaks."

"it's not broke. it just doesn't work with my phone"

"why not?"

"because it isn't made for my phone."

"then why the hell do you have it?"

"it looks cool. and it was more expensive."

"that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard."

j/k.

oh, and the one on amazon is 50. the mugen one was 21 for me. little more than 10 bucks difference. I actually bought 2 docks for 2 different phones and still paid less than the amazon one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dylanear:
It's made for smooth surfaces, big heavy duty suction cup. I have a self adhesive disk to add a smooth surface to a dashboard or whatever, but I can't swear it came with the LG holder, I may have got that with my old iPhone/Tom Tom holder. Generally i'm not keen on mounting things to my windshield, but in this case it works well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dn3g3l:
got the muguen dock charger yesterday. ordered exactly a week ago. works well but my phone doesn't go into dock mode? i have to do it manually. is there a way to do this automatcially?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knux11:
got my dock today. of course i don't have a g2x anymore tho. and they included an asia power plug, and only an asia one. WTF?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
It requires a magnet of some sort in the dock for the phone to recognize it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dn3g3l:
thanks. what about the fully charged notification popup, is there a way to get rid of that? i'm actually using this as my clock in the room and the stupid popup blocks the clock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Forgive my ignorance, but if I simply install a magnet into the dock, will it auto switch to dock mode?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
That is an answer I don't have. I would bet it's a little more complicated than that though. Magnet strength, location, polarity, etc.

I've often wondered about this so it'll be interesting to see answers from ppl knowledgeable about this.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppriyank:
Hello all, before i get started with my issue, i'd like to mention that I did perform search and all and didn't help.

Now with that being said...I have strange issue going on...I wanted to get my vibrant back to stock, so like usual I fired up my odin put the pit files and tar files in...put the phone in download mode connected my usb calbe...Odin detect it. My win7 64-bit gave me an error message saying that USB Device Not Recognized.

This was odd, because just last week, i odin back to stock in order to get SGS2 ROM from the EDT website, and everything went smooth. Another odd thing is that when my phone is up and running, i can connect it to the PC in mass storage mode, and am able to transfer files and everything, but somehow ODIN does not detect it.

Now i uninstalled the drivers, re-installed them (YES THE CORRECT 64-bit ones), didn't help, so i did a fresh KIES install (for the drivers), and even that didn't work.

Can someone with the knowledge please inform me what i should do next, in oder for me to Odin back to stock?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
make sure u have usb debugging enabled and then plug it in to pc and turn off pc and reboot and when its off and it then doesnt find it then try to going to device manager on win 7 and try scanning for hardware changes. And if that doesnt work uninstall all the drivers with something like revo uninstaller so it gets every file removed then reinstall and hopefully that works!!

Good luck
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
wait, you said ODIN did detect it... so I assume you have a yellow COM # in ODIN.

Should work fine then. what am I missing?

Also, I have noticed I need to use the USB that came with the phone (one of my cables doesnt work) and I also can not use ODIN with other USB devices plugged in (my webcam prevents ODIN from working, will constantly hang).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppriyank:
Sorry, meant to say, ODIN "DOES NOT" detect it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppriyank:
I do have revo uninstaller downloaded, i might give it a try. The debugging mode is enabled, and i tired the turn off pc method as well. Hopefully the revo method works, but if it doesn't then is there any other way? And what might have caused this problem. Like i said, i odined back to stock just last week, and didn't change anything on the computer or phone.

BTW, i'm at work, and i installed the driver and downloaded odin, pit and tar files for stock, and even at the work pc, its not detecting my phone.

Does that mean, the phone itself has the problem, and not the drivers?

I'm mad confused right now :(

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mj56gt:
I have a similar problem with USB access to the phone which only started to occur recently. The only difference is that I'm using a Mac computer, but I've also tried a Windows system and a different USB cable, rebooting the phone and the computer several times already, all to no avail. I just flashed a new ROM (Bi-Winning) and in the process it included factory reset, but that didn't help at all either. During rebooting, it does show success media scanning for both internal and external SD cards. Battery charging with the USB cable is fine, but under the Ongoing tab of the Notification Bar, I no longer see the following two items (/Settings/Applications/Development/USB debugging has always been ON): USB debugging connection, and USB connected.

Very frustrating and desperate because I can't directly copy files from and to the phone. I don't know what else to try since there is not supposed to have a driver issue with Mac. Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
OP, what rom are you coming from? If it was a gingerbread rom, real 2.3.x, then you need to install the usb drivers from the latest android sdk in order for Odin to recognize download mode.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ interesting, never considered that. I always hear people have issues coming from GB, trying the Galaxy and Nexus S drivers with no luck... I never had an issue but I aslo have the SDK setup... guess that could be the reason.

Is there a zip of just the drivers so people do not have to install the SDK?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
I haven't seen them packaged anywhere as a separate set of files, I installed the drivers by pointing the device manager installation to my sdk folder and letting it run. I remeber reading that in one of the CM7 threads we had going before team hacksung took it over, that in order for odin to recognize, you have to have the nexus s drivers installed, which are really just the driver files from the latest sdk.

It worked for the other gb roms we currently have as well.

Thank you, will try it once i get home, and will report back on it if it works.

EDIT: just installed the Nexus S drivers, and now odin recognized my phone, GOING STOCK as i type this. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THE HELP!!!

EDIT: OK nevermind, odin detected my phone, and when i was trying to go back to stock, the odin froze at gathering pit files...i let it sit there for good 35-45 mins, and it didn't do anything. So i did the unthinkable, i pull the plug and now odin does not detect it and my phone does not turn on, when i turn on the phone, it has a ol' skoo cellphone with dotted lines connecting to a computer looking picture with "!" in the center? WTFF!!!!!!!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
no, phone will be fine.. any other usb devices connected? Using the cable that came with the phone? Both have caused odin to hang on me. Using the latest odin? Verify the md5 of the files?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipnotiq:
trigger 3.3 beta (sweet) hows the rom?:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
OP, you're almost there. Launch odin, load your pit and tar files, boot the phone in to dl mode, and try to start the flash as quick as you can after booting to dl mode. Sometimes waiting even a minute to start the flash after booting the phone, will cause it to not flash. The screen you are seeing is an alternate dl mode screen. Persistence, patience, and rebooting dl mode in between attempts, you will get it, I have faith.

Edit - verify the md5 also, as s15274n said above, that should always be done with any rom or odin package download.

[LG Optimus 2x] ageloskalp:
Probably you had a nandroid backup from the stock and then (after flashing modaco) you tried to restore the stock nandroid backup.

This cant be done because of the ext3-ext4 convertion.

You must convert ext4 to ext3(install this zip from recovery before the restore http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/2x/r1-backtoext3-2x-unsigned.zip) and then do a nandroid restore

or

flash an original stock rom(from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035041) through smartflash(with this procedure http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008070)

Hi,

Today, I had self reboot after a recieved phonecall. the other side ended call and my screen stood black and then rebooted.

I had similar problems before, either this would happen or screen just stood black until I pull out the battery, but I was pretty sure it was because of Roadsync.

I allready explained everything here:

This time I didn't recieve a mail and I wasn't looking mail or something when this happened.

I have this:

E15i

2.1-update1

M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-534004015

2.6.29

SEMUser@SEMCHost #1

2.1.1.A.0.6

ZD Box task killer reports this applications when my phone is on, and I believe it's all that's active (but it doesn't show SE included apps):

Alarm Clock Plus

Tasker - just installed - no profile added

XDA

ZDbox

I also have Roadsync Exchange and Gmail syncing all the time.

Did anybody experience something similar, and what could be the problem,

SE android, apps, syncing, hardware ...?

It's very important for me to have reliable phone, so I would like to solve this problem.

I can't recreate problem, and it only happend second time since I upgraded software a few days ago.

So if somebody has the same problem please post your experience, maybe we'll come to conclusion easier together.

thank you!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dare-Devil Inside:
Are you living in stone age dude?

First of all, if you dont want custom ROM (wich I suggest you)

ROOT YOUR PHONE, second install System app remover from market, and remove all stock apps that can be removed. (Dont touch gapps).

You can easily find isntructions here on this very forum, it's sticky!

My opinion is - install some custom ROM - try Elelinux or Floyo v0.20 by Racht. Much more stable and faster than stock.

I had same problem like you. Now it's gone. :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kulen:
Well,

I have had HTC Touch Cruise for a few years and I could throw it away a month after I bought it if there were no XDA and custom ROM's.

So, no I don't live in stone age, and I'm not new on XDA and (or) with custom ROM's

The thing is, as I said, I need phone to be reliable, because of my work.I can't play with it, root it, test ROM's or so, because I'm on call support, which includes weekend and night. so I need to catch some time to play with it.

Until then I must use stock ROM, and I'm just gathering information about X8.

And to be honest I want to use stock ROM for some time until I get familiar with phone and android and I'm sure all hardware is ok.

If this is not android problem but, let's say, Roadsync (or hardware or something else) problem then it could happen on custom ROM's too.

so it would be nice to find out what's the problem, if possible

Thank you for your answer, and please tell me more details about problem you had.

did you just have custom reboots, or freezes or what?

did you use Roadsync or any other Exchange mail?

did you try to find out what it was before you installed custom ROM?

thank you
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dare-Devil Inside:
I didnt use any of it, my phone rebooted frequently. After calls too. And it was running in a background.

So, you want reliable phone...

You must root to uninstall these apps. Try it. Its maybe a solution.

Install custom rom without overclock if you want REALIBLE phone. Belive me.

I'll post you all things you need, it will take an hour of your time.
