No, the original Desire is also getting the update, but without the latest Sense 3.0 .
[XPERIA X10 General] ImS0Raw:
Yes but they announced it much earlier then SE did :p So SE is actually very fast developing, only they annoucned to late :p
[XPERIA X10 General] hon kin:
Well, LG P500 and Incredible S has it too ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] holcken:
Correct, but it's not released yet. The statement wasn't about future updates.

It was about what devices that already got the update.

As he said, they were the slowest to update it... And so far - as I wrote, only

two other got the update. And obviously, a couple more. But not that many.
[XPERIA X10 General] kemmo123:
don't even bother. j and z will have cm7 sorted before most of us can even get this update...
[XPERIA X10 General] aR_ChRiS:
As a matter of fact, the GB roms here can run perfectly. However the devs here need the sources from the official update to complete the camera.
[XPERIA X10 General] DooMLoRD:
where did u see the LG P500 official final GB update?

i am not talking abt the leaked version... has the update officially started rolling out?
[XPERIA X10 General] Mr. Clown:
Please refer to the title of the thread and quit the offotpic rant.

Third time here, don't wan't to come again and clean nonsense posts.

Thanks,

I think none of gb ROM is perfect right now all have different issues ... Not talking about camera.. Have to wait for official release ...
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
I'm just wondering,

Since this OP has not been updated forever, and the same questions are being asked, and the fact that this thread moves too quickly, it's almost impossible for the average user to keep up with all the updates and details.

Making a post about what we know about the GB update in this thread will lead almost nowhere, since it will be drowned in pages of useless info again.

I'm willing to make a new thread accumulating all we know into one, new, topic, but I don't want it locked because this is THE thread for all GB news.

I just think this thread is too cluttered and useless, mainly because the OP is NEVER updated and it's impossible to keep up with the pace of this thread.

Anyone else a bit taken back by the drastic price drops on the G2X? Not in a good way... I feel like the G2X could be the Vibrant all over again...

"The best technology never makes you think about it. It's just always brilliant."

- LG G2X Amazon Page

I'm sorry but with all the problems this phone has against it (similar to the Vibrant): Overheating, Shotty Network/Data Connections, Reboots, Lock-ups it seems like T-Mobile is readying for another magic trick. Granted, from what I've gathered reading these forums certain problems (mentioned above) could be completely unrelated. I personally feel that the poorly tinkered network/data connect software T-Mobile f***ed into this phone coupled with the completely separate battery issues are reeking havoc on the phones in a variety of ways.

Just a thought.

As a past Vibrant user (unfortunately) I felt compelled to report the similarities arising again... and all the Vibrant base got [after their woes] was a ****ty Froyo update and the Samsung Galaxy S 4G releasing swiftly via T-Mobile.

I really thought the Vibrant must've been a fluke for T-Mobile, as it was my first leap into the smartphone & Android markets (came from a flip phone, no txts or data). Seems I was wrong in my judgement for trusting them with a second/different product. Don't get me wrong... This phone is great (in theory) but so far it is dragging with bugs and this leaves me torn... =/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
Your looking into it way way to much..... All phones on tmobile go on a quick sale... I bought a vibrant for 250 starting my contract in august.... a month later I buy one for a add a line for my brother for 50 bucks..... Its just the tmobile way... A droid x is still 200 in my area.... And a epic 4g is 150
[T-Mobile LG G2x] S0NiX0928:
Hm... perhaps. I'll think it over a nice bowl to cool the thoughts down a bit lol, 4:20 is coming a little early this morning I suppose.

I guess I just want a phone that works [ultimately]... Seems like the T-Mobile way is to release half-assed, beta quality products (at least in these eyes, I understand experiences vary). I went along thinking T-Mobile was a great company until I jumped on the Android bandwagon. Guess one can't get too butt-hurt over a company acting as soulless as they do sometimes... it's in their nature. =/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hoostie:
Coming from a vibrant I see where u are coming from. It was the biggest pile of a phone I have ever had. It was also my first android experience after being an avid bb user.

I do see some short comings in my g2x but I hope things don't get bad. I also despise Samsung as a company and blame the vibrant fails on them. It seems ateast to me they push a product hard and never support it. They did the same thing on a TV I bought. After there lack of support on the vibrant I will never own another Samsung product. I just hope the g2x is not the same way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I respect your point of view but I disagree with you.

I come from a Galaxy S 4G and this phone is way better and faster.

If you are experiencing those kind of issues, I would advise you to exchange it. I haven't really experience those kind of issues and the only real problem to me has been data disconnecting.

Now that I have flashed many ROM's I have come to the conclusion that EB 1.04 is the best and not many disconnections since I settle.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blestsol:
As far as the price drops go..yeah im kinda mad. Im off contract and payed 530. 300 cash and 230 on my bill. But its annoying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Are you still able to return it?

Then just buy one off amazon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icecicle04:
it's still 509 on amazon without a contract tho
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hazard99:
I just paid 499 off contract...

If its a contract price I wouldnt pay to much attention to it. I feel they discount the phones to bring it more customers!

Oh well I guess thats not so bad.

- can i unroot my phone?

- So after root I can remove T mobile apps and start up logo?

[Defy General] mpiekp:
You can flash without root, but lose downgradability.

Read the post carefully first before flashing.

To root use superoneclick, it works on all eclair and froyo roms.
[Defy General] cute_kayani:
what flash will do? and what the diffr b/w flash and root.

After update why ppl downgrade :p
[Defy General] rbeier1221:
Rooting is simply giving you full admin access to the phone. It does not in any other way alter the phones system. Flashing is installing a completely different build onto the phone usually for upgrade purposes.

There are some people who find the upgrade to be buggy or unstable as compared to the Eclair build. This has especially been the case when upgrading with a leaked build that may not be fully tested. That is why one would want to downgrade.

Also, if you're region is not officially updated yet installing an update can void your warranty.
[Defy General] cute_kayani:
so after root will i get OTA froyo or after root same message appear your device are up to date :)

so kindly tell me the procedure of rooting or give me proper link of that thread.

And plz advice me i will go for it or not.Currently i dnt have any issue with my cell.
[Defy General] albertocalle:
No, you won't. If you just wanna upgrade to froyo, you don't need to root. You just need to flash a froyo rom.

I never tried z4root but superoneclick has never failed me.
[Defy General] mpiekp:
Yep, thought OP was from a different continent, shame there has been no later eclair releases for europe etc. As even if you revert to official build, surely they expect the original rom, if you need to return one.

so how to check that my cell from T Mobile USA or UK ?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
slide out the left menu in stock camera app.. option in there to change shutter sound.. 3 sound options and off..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maidguitar:
Nope, there's no off option in the stock app, and silent options in apps like vignette don't work for Japanese market phones. It seems to be forced at the rom level. Anyone rooted on a Japanese arc that can relay whether custom roms get rid of the shutter sound?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
that's odd.. I got this on my uk one.., did not think they were that different!..

Sent from The Arc!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirak:
Could have to do with different laws.

In some countries it's forbidden to take 'silent' pictures.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
That's just weird!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
exactly it's forbidden to take pictures without a sound.

try this:

Go to "/system/media/audio/ui" there are folders like sound1, sound2 and sound3. go in the folders and remove the "camera_click.ogg"

of that didn't work go to "/system/media/audio/camera/sound*/ and remove "shutter.ogg"

Hope this works, good luck
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkmonkey1984:
Or in case it crashes, rename a silent .ogg file and replace, so it will still play just it will be silent. might also be a idea.

Hiya, back with an update, just rooted and tried this with an on-phone explorer, and it says it doesn't have privileges to modify the sound file. Do I need a better file explorer or try this from the ox when I get home?

Thanks for the help !

Edit: permission type is -r- or something , says system files are read only
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gl2k1:
Yes, it's work in my case :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sexy101:
so did you delete the sound file or replace it with a silent one? Also what program did you use to delete or replace the file?

Don't you guys worry about probably breaking the laws of your country? :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maidguitar:
I've done it. First, I rooted the S0-01C, then got all the ADB drivers and such working on my PC. Remounted the /system in rewriteable mode using this guide here, http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/2...stem-partition-in-read-write-mode-in-android/

then went to the /system/media/audio/ui directory, and replaced camera_click.ogg with an empty ogg (opened notepad, saved as camera_click.ogg) using root explorer. Vignette is now completely silent.

Thanks for all the help!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proliant:
Use Root Explorer

Rename /system/media/audio/camera/sound3 to /system/media/audio/camera/soundx (or anything you like) ;)

Rename /system/media/audio/camera/sound0 to /system/media/audio/camera/sound3

Then select sound3 as the shutter sound in camera.

This is for HK rooted model LT15i 3.0.A.2.181

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adriancristina:

You have to live with the sound then unless you can turn it off in the camera menu.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taaviu:
Rooted users can delete system/media/camera click sound file :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adriancristina:
maybe someone will modify the firmware in order to have this stupid turn off shutter sound
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glaudrem:
Spanish arc let you mute camera sound without rooting...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leroy:
Its quite an old thread so it is worth pointing out that this is due to laws in some countries where it is illegal to take a picture without a flash (to make people aware if they are having their picture taken).

So different versions of the roms will have different settings.....some will not allow to turn off the sound. The only way around this, currently, is to root and replace/delete the shutter sound
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtdc:
Running the sound introduces delay, no matter how small it is. And that's the reason I want it with no sounds, to minimize shutter lag. For the law related, its best to always just get permission from people who you want to take pictures of. Its better right, and they will even pose nicely for your shot.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jepehd:
Hi all,

Just started using activesync towards Exchange server and had to enable the phone lock to get it working (due to Exchange server security policy).

Activesync works great but overall phone usability has decreased considerably when I have to type a 6 digit PIN code everytime I want to use the phone for calls, check calender, run appl etc.

Is there any way to

1) Limit need for password input to only reading mails using Outlook

2) Make sure I only have to type PIN if I havent used the phone for an extended period? Right now I need to type PIN everytime the phone has been in standby..(despite 15 min timeout setting in security lock settings)

3) Cheat phone to accept 3 or 4 PIN code instead of the default 6 PIN.

4) Bypass exchange server policy and remove need for PIN completely (keeping activesync working of course)

Any advice will be highly appreciated!

Best regards

Jens

Update: 08/22/2011

CWM 4.0.1.5

Changelog:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/commits/gingerbread
Also changed the Init logo. You should like it :P

This brings you up to date.

DOWNLOAD

Internal: http://krylon360.com/file_host/G2x/nvflash-internal-08222011.zip

External: http://krylon360.com/file_host/G2x/nvflash-external-08222011.zip

To flash, use NVFLASH.

I am using Chris's nvflash script from the original cwm. I modified it to flash the new recovery image.

Instructions

Power off phone

take battery out

hold vol up and down and plug in USB

You wont see anything, but it should mount

(If you get an error USB Device not found after running the script, unplug from pc and phone, and redo it)

extract file

type ./flash-recovery.sh and enter

once you see .img sent successfully, unplug usb and put bat back in

hold vol down + power, once you see the 2nd logo, let go

OLD!

This is the newest version of CWM compiled from Source. Along with this comes some much needed changes.

1st and foremost: I am not responsible for any bricks. Know what you are doing before attempting this.

New Version Changes 06/16/2011
Reverted back to Yellow Color Scheme (this was causing source not to sync)
What ever else changed with the source
This is just to bring you guys to the latest CWM Source.
New Host :)

Changes:

Red font (Much like Voodoo Red CWM) to show EXT4 Support

Able to backup and restore both ext3 and ext4 without any issues

(restore ext3 over ext4 and vice-versa)

EDIT: 2 versions now avail. These instructions are for the Internal SD version only

CWM now mounted to Internal SD. Brought back flashing from Internal SD due to request.

External SD is also mounted, however at this time, unable to flash from both internal and external.

If you would like your old CWM backups, be sure to copy over the Clockworkmod folder from your external to your internal sd.

External version instructions.

There aren't any. Flash as you are use to with the 3.0.2.7 Yellow recovery

To flash, use NVFLASH.

I am using Chris's nvflash script from the original cwm. I modified it to flash the new recovery image.

Instructions

Power off phone

take battery out

hold vol up and down and plug in USB

You wont see anything, but it should mount

(If you get an error USB Device not found after running the script, unplug from pc and phone, and redo it)

extract file

type ./flash-recovery.sh and enter

once you see .img sent successfully, unplug usb and put bat back in

hold vol down + power, when you see the BLUE LG LOGO, let go of the buttons. There is no more ANDROID logo.

EDIT: 05/24/2011

New Update.

Updated 2nd Boot Logo, now no longer Blue LG

Fixed USB Mass Storage option. Now mounts to the PC when selecting.

Reboot option is due to a kernel issue on stock. If you have CM7, this works though.

Please excuse my ignorance! In layman's terms, what benefits will I see over the original cwm recovery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krylon360:
you can now backup and restore ext4 based partitions.

This also give the option to have the latest cwm, and gives the option to be able to flash from internal sd if you happen to have a small microsd, anotherwords if you have only a 2gb microsd, go for the internal version because that will give you more space for roms, kernels, and mods, and backups.

Lots of discussions here in XDA about it but I believe it was available in haykuro, cyanogen and jesusfreak builds. It allows two separate filesystems to appear on the same mount point. I'm not sure what issues exist with it today but maybe some of the kernel hackers could comment?
