[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nineismine:
no problem, I am a bit of a newb to android (the atrix is my first droid) so wading into this from very rough directions was something of a guessing game for me. While trying to figure it out I was really wishing someone had outlined the (admittedly simple) steps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CESAROX:
Hey guys, I'm thinking about finally rooting my G2x but I have a question that I really need answered before I do so. Do any of you know if I will be able to redownload the games I bought from Gameloft? We all know their stupid strict policies and I don't want to have dished out $7 per game (3 games) for nothing...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Soldi3rxx:
Use Titanium Backup from the market place to backup all yours apps and app data then each time you flash a rom you can restore them no problem. Also you MUST do a nandroid backup just in case you flash n your not happy with the rom you can restore to exactly where u left off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CESAROX:
Gameloft does this verification process when you start up a game though and I don't know if they will block me from a Titanium backup. Don't get me wrong, I've rooted my fair share of devices (mytouch, mytouch 3g, cliq, cliq xt) and I've never had a problem from the android market but I heard Gameloft will block you from the game if you are downloading from a different device or redownloading between a certain time period. I don't mean to be redundant, but I feel that's BS if I'm a paying customer. If I have the same #, they should understand that my phone is ever changing. Especially since it's an Android phone...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Soldi3rxx:
I agree with what your saying and I'm sry as my knowledge stops here because i havent tested that out. Al li know that everything i've downloaded from the market place worked fine for me on any rom ive flashed
[LG Optimus 2x] olle0047:
Hi! I was wondering about the general build quality and the durability of this phone!

I have had several HTC phones thru the years, S710, Touch cruise, G1 and hero.

With all of them i was very satisfied with build quality and what falls and dents they could take without being damaged. BUT THEN i got the samsung galaxy s, and build quality sucked, now it have broken on its own twice and i broke the screen twice. So i am now tired sick from samsung and their crappy build quality.

My question therefore is: Is this thing built more solid then the SGS? Is the regular TFT LCD better for my (ab)use?

Thanks for answers and sorry if my english is a little glitchy :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
excuse me sir, but the type of the display has absolutely nothing to do with how strong (durable) the phone is. only the glass that PROTECTS the display matters. samsung galaxy s and lg optimus both have gorrila glass (good stuff for resistance against scraches) i think htc hero also has it.

not sure how you managed to destroy it so well though :)

but on the general lg optimus 2x build quality is MUCH MUCH better than galaxy s, much more solid phone, samsung feels crap.
[LG Optimus 2x] olle0047:
Great! Wellmy problem has been that the screen inside the glass broke, both times the glass was intact. On other devices like a itouch 1g the glass broke but not the screen on the inside and it was still useable.

Well, firstly the screen died altogether while i was holding the phone trying to surf the web. No problem samsung took the phone in and replaced the screen. Next abouth one month later my touch buttons died, a little more of a hassle getting samsung to take the phone back this time. A couple of phonecalls and contact with samsung themselfes and they took it in for repair, kept it for 3 weeks and it got back fine.

Then i dropped the phone between one and two feet onto concrete floor, yes i admit this is my fault, but i feel this is something the phone should have managed. Especially since i had a gel cover thingy around it. This time i changed the screen myself, no problem. Then i got on my bike home from work about one month ago, put my phone in my pocket, and altso my keys. Got home and the inner AMOLED was broken again.

Might be that im not carefull enough with the device, but i feel its just a bit too fragile :/

But thanks for the answer and i will probably buy one of these, they go real cheap around here now :D

Only around 500USD wich i think is pretty darn good for this device.
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
you are one unlucky ole' chap must i say :D
[LG Optimus 2x] pmcguire:
The metallic band that surrounds the phone scratched far to easy. I have a few marks in there and I keep it well protected. I hate to see what happens if this was dropped onto concrete.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I think it's pretty well built. Feels solid, doesn't creak, weighty but not too heavy etc
[LG Optimus 2x] Stikkontakt:
I thought it was plastic. Why do you think it's metal?

Build quality seems good though, no noise and everything seems tight and in place. Only thing concerning me is the battery cover. What happens to the clips when removing it 100 times? I'm afraid it might get a bit loose.

I haven't dropped it yet, so not sure how it handles such things. Corners on the glass seems ok protected..
[LG Optimus 2x] pmcguire:
I didn't say it was metal, I said it was metallic (ie looks like metal) :D

Either way it's very weak and marks easily leaving black marks in it. Really unhappy with my phone and hope to get rid ASAP.
[LG Optimus 2x] Stikkontakt:
aah.. :)

Well, painted plastic does scratch easily in general. Not easy to avoid..

I don't really care though..
[LG Optimus 2x] franssu:
They should build the whole thing with Gorilla glass, it wouls be smudgetastic but indestructible and unscratchable.
[LG Optimus 2x] Jossermuntjewerf:
not a single scratch on mine.... have it fot 2,5 months now....
[LG Optimus 2x] gregy74:
Build quality is good, but this metalic plastic is really bad.
[LG Optimus 2x] akyp:
Same here. Looks as nice as the day it was unboxed. :) I am usually careful when attaching the USB cable, though.
[LG Optimus 2x] olle0047:
I ended up buying the phone :)

So far i am very satisfyed, very good build quality. Fast and snappy with CM7 #49.
[Verizon Droid Charge] frogdod:
I had no idea

when did this happen?

I thought i was stuck with .mp4's

anything else i might have missed?

any other formats i can get to play on here

.flac? maybe

tell me something about my charge i dont know! please

THANKS
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
You can play .flac files w/ a compatible player like poweramp.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATI-AMD:
I currently have lightning rom 1.3 i noticed that although i assigned the correct ip address, gateway ...etc and i ticked on the static ip option, it doesnt pick up the static ip but assigns one as if the static ip was not selected. Any solution regarding this issue?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Number ten:
Yes, I noticed that too. Have you found out whether it's a bug?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] johninga:
I did the above in order to flash new custom ROM. I now have a problem that the camera does not work with 3rd party apps . . . I have performed factory reset - no help. Will flashing a new ROM help . .??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zubat4u:
Yes, this is the only way. Or flash a stock rom again
[HTC EVO 3D] marinos2000:
guys do you know if this phone will be able to play tegra 2 games ?
[HTC EVO 3D] hdad2:
I guess chainfire3d is an app that lets you spoof the chipset id so software for a certain chip will run on any device. Haven't tried it yet, but it may be what we need. Games may run like crap but only time will tell. App is in the market.

The app requires root and s-off so no way to know for sure until the phone is released and the community finds full root.
[HTC EVO 3D] marinos2000:
do you know when it will be release in europe ? (greece)

i hope it will play tegra 2 games because is good games :)
[HTC EVO 3D] ryudo423:
This is also a big concern of mine. Im a bit of gamer, so I would love to have the tegra games. I have heard the dual core should help them run smooth.
[HTC EVO 3D] LearnIIBurn:
The Adreno 220 GPU should be able to handle some hits I would imagine. It's too bad games are being developed that only the Tegra can handle that are so fun. Kinda taunt us by putting it in the Market and slapping "Tegra 2 only!" on it. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
Chainfire 3D does allow that, but requires root access, :(
[HTC EVO 3D] intx:
Once we get root we will be able to run them no problem.

my Epic 4G ran all the tegra 2 games at full speed and looked great
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HannoSLM:
Hi everybody,

I have a request to make the phone switching on process, by holding the power button for at least 3-5 sec. Now when it is barely pressed, the phone starts ... especially during flights, it is not nice :)

thanks in advance for the tips
[Milestone XT720 General] Trapple:
Hello guys.

First of all i want to thank xda - developers for this great forum.

Its the best one ive founded and i am very glad to use it.

I have a modified milestone xt 720 with custom firmware v4 kahlpower.

I also use setcpu to increase battery lifetime.

I try to prevent wasting ressources so i created a profile for setcpu:

If my display screen is off, my cpu will run with 125 Mhz min and 250 Mhz max conversative.

If the screen is on my cpu has 550 Mhz min and 850 Mhz max. conversative.

So when i am phoning my milestone ist very slow , because he jumps from 125 Mhz

to 550 Mhz and the other way round due to the photosensor ( lichtsensor).

I searched various of topics including this issue but did never find a solution ..

How can I disable the photosensor or prevent my phone from getting dark while telephoning ?

Thanks

Trapple
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Hi go to settings and click inti display their are different time setting for your light to stay on.
[Milestone XT720 General] Trapple:
There are no settings

i want my display while I am telephoning enabled ( on)

the sensor is the issue , which sets my display on and off
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
I think there are proximity sensor settings in the build.prop but I've never tried changing them.
[Milestone XT720 General] ndempist:
if display goes on i think the phone would get hot and power consumption will up.

btw your face would feel hot isnt it if the display not getting dark while you are on the phone..

use speaker phone or a bluetooth headset if you still want it :D
[Milestone XT720 General] Trapple:
is there an aplikation to open this data ?

maybe you got a link for a tutorial or s.th. like that ?
[Milestone XT720 General] Trapple:
:D i dont want to use them , its to bad to handle xD

I think there must be another solution

Hi guys!

I now have the HD2 Core Droid Desire HD GB V2 RV and i want to instal the V2.1.

But after downloading it, there is no DAF, no manuals and neither the zip file. There are 4 folders named: boot, META-INF, Sd and System... so...

How can i instal/update the new room??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

All Core Droid ROMS are downloaded as a RAR. file.

Extract this and you will see instructions plus the zip file you need to put on the root of your sd card.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ljjehl:
at this moment, the Coredroid 2.1 is a barebones zip. You need to go to the CoreDroid forum and read around. There are a lot of stuff there. I have a tut in my sig....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

I looked on the [OP] for installation information and there was nothing.

If, as you say there is no longer anything in the download,it must be kinda hard for a noob to install this... :rolleyes:

Dear all Members, I am a fresh coredroid member.So, Let me know how to install "HD2_CoreDroid_Desire_HD_GB_V2.1​_Release_Version.zip | 294 MB" on my HD2?There is no DAF.exe and just have 4 files "boot,META-INF,sd,system" after extract from rar.Plz guide me how to install that.I'd love to install that Rom.

http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Q.E.D.

@aungpe

Hi,

I think you downloaded a "ZIP"

This should NOT be extracted.

Go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).

Then go to install zip from sd card

Choose zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card,using a card reader)

After installation,reboot.

Give it time.

Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.

:)

Put on a kernel with Voodoo sound and download the voodoo sound control app. Otherwise poweramp and winamp are both good.

Any reason for this ?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFK_Matrix:
I have had not problems with Go launcher until wednesday when my copilot icon disappeared then the next day 2 other icons disappeared which is weird. Luckily I had done a Go Launcher backup so it was easy to fix but I might email the dev for the app and let him know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowlesy:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PpJoe:
Im having the same problem too on KE7..

Its not a big deal but its kinda annoying when suddenly some icons went missing.

i've found 2 temp solutions for it..

1) if in portrait, switch to landscape once or twice, it should return to normal.

2)if point 1) didnt work..backup the Go launcher config under preferences,n restore the config when when icons missing again..:)

N other this little bug, the launcher EX is a fantastic app!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reyza:
I get the same. Shortcuts disappear. I just restart the phone and the icons come back
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
That's what I do... I just hope they fix the issue soon, it's a great launcher.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vairn:
Wow, I had the same happen to me today, while at the super markeg my wife took the phone to take a photo, of our daughter and the 5 buttons at the bottom gone and 5 pluses were there instead. They came back earlier when the app updated though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
I had a little bit of flakey behavior with this one too, not just here but on the N1. To be truthful as time has gone by all the big players (LP, ADW, GO) have become more and more similar in their features and functions and to me it has come to a few simple things, with ADW I get a little hitchiness in the launcher, not big but its there, with GO I get a little bit of assorted things as described, with LP I get no issues and it works smoothly. With touchwiz I get no issues and it works smoothly.

I had been using LP but thought I would beat around the stock launcher and see what could be made of it and truthfully I like some of the things touchwiz as a launcher alone does. It used to be that when I switched back and forth between launchers I felt like I was doing something new and different, rather than the same old thing which had grown boring. Its one of the reasons I switched in the first place, to spice things up. Nowdays though the big three feel much the same, I know I have switched because of the little differences but it feels like using the same launcher. With TW I feel like I'm doing something a little different, its nothing major but its there. I like that. I like the home screen slider that allows me to slide from one far screen to the other or any screen instantly with one hand. No need to pinch and pull up the overview or swipe across. The only real fault I have with it is that you cannot define rows and columns and other basic setup items that would greatly improve my ability to set it up the way I want. I had been hoping that someone might step in and offer a utility that allowed that. So far changing default home and sorting the app drawer alphebetically is covered if you're rooted.

At any rate IMO unless you are a launcher fanboy start checking out the rest of them and see how your performance with your setup is, if its good and you have no issues you're done because the difference between them as far as function,form, and features has become very little. Also consider giving TW a go, it really isnt too bad once you remove all the wiz and use it strictly as a launcher.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFK_Matrix:
I think you may have just swiped the 5 buttons at the bottom of the screen mate. There is a setting in Go Launcher to have around 3 bars at the bottom of the screen. If you make it so its only 1 then you can't swipe it and get those +'s.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
lol Good point Matrix, the buttons are swipable so you can add more shortcuts there. I can see how someone could accidently swipe over and think he had something screwed up when the shortcuts were "gone" and only the pluses where you would move new shortcuts were showing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flowlance:
Same issue here. Icons sometimes disappear when restarting the phone. Restarting again brings them back though
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vairn:
@matrix, Yup, looks like it, woo new feature, now i have 2 bars with the same icons... Hehe
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord sargent:
So I was trying to go from serendipity 6.4 to 7...

I was following the directions on the serendipity site, got to the point where it was supposed to be flashing the new boot loader and gingerbread. Odin sat on "zImage" for about 15 minutes before i decided for some reason that it was frozen and that unplugging it and trying again might help...

now the only thing I can get from the phone is a black screen with red and green dots when i try to get to download mode.

any suggestions??

Elliot
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
zImage is the kernel. This should recoverable

Did it get passed boot.bin and sbl.bin? If so you've got the new boot loaders. vol down and power to get to DL mode. Since odin hung and was disconnected before completion the image for DL mode might not even be on the phone. Try that combo (or better yet a jig) then whatever screen it boots into hook it up to odin and try flashing just xcals gb kernel. If it's not in DL mode it will just hang on "setting up connection."
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord sargent:
Got it to what is now just a white fuzzy screen (not giving me the black with dots anymore) and the computer doesn't recognize im plugging anything in. about to head to radio shack to source a jig.

Assuming im not completely water-headed, there should be a screenshot of my odin attempt, for your viewing pleasure...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
if thats the first fail, then the bootloaders were never flashed so try the old button combo... switch usb ports first of all no matter if you try the next peice of advice or not anytime odin fails you should swap usb ports(always making sure its on the back, no hubs or front ports)...open odin, hold volume buttons and plug in usb chord on your phone...

a jig is always a good idea... i made mine before i ever flashed anything so i knew i would have an out if things went sour.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord sargent:
finally got it to download mode, but now im frozen at "param.lfs" after "firmware update start"...

Thank you so much for the prompt help studa, I really appreciate it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Hmmm...not your day huh? If it's frozen you have no choice but to disconnect. All the damage has been done. When you disconnect now you will most likely get the "clay" screen: phone....!.....pc and like I said before the download mode image might be missing. But this should still be recoverable

What version of odin is that? The earlier versions tend to freeze up more. go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=979133 don't worry about the firmwares just at the bottom there is a few versions of odin. 1.7, 1.81 and 1.82 try one of those.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord sargent:
Fortunately, I am apparently allowed a few more tries... it keeps letting me go back to download mode after it inevitably freezes at either "param.lfs" or "zImage"...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord sargent:
I tried with 1.82, still no luck...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
umm could be the usb chord...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lord sargent:
ouch.... a usb cable.... but on the other hand, you are now my hero!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryanpl:
Here is the problem...

Both when long pressing power button - and short pressing + taping on a POWER OFF button - the phone doesn't turn off :( It just shuts down, vibrates and then restarts. Didnt have this problem before - just noticed it today.

I use official I9100XXKE4 rom - never rooted the phone and never used any custom ROMs.

Any idea what causes the problem ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryanpl:
Just hard formated the phone using *2767*3855# method

(WARNING - THIS CODE FORMATS YOUR PHONE AND ERASES ALL DATA)

... and nothing :( still reboots instead of turning off.

I just long press the power button - wait for the menu to appear - the tap on a POWER OFF text - the phone informs me that this will Turn Off the phone - I tap on OK - and ... it doesn't turn off - but jus restarts.

Very strange :( I am on a train right now - and wanted to save sme battery for the final part of the trip - but looks like because of this problem - I am not able to turn off the device. OK - i phisically removed the battery - but it's not the solution of the problem for future I guess :(
