Can you email me a screenshot? (My favorite way is to use adb: adb fbgrab /storage/gb.png and then adb pull /storage/gb.png.)

Is it fine in portrait?

Did you change your DPI setting? (I don't think it would make a difference, but you never know.)

The keyboard works great with my Archos 43. Thanks! I think I'll be using it from now on. :)

Hi,

I'm using skype video on a nexus S. Using front and back camera I get a video out resolution of 320X240 (you can check by enabling technical call info in the settings and then turning the info on while on a call via the menu button). I think the limitation is due to the processing power of the Nexus S since Skype automatically adjust resolution based on internet speed and cpu load.

I would like to know what other users are getting, especially SGS2 users. Note that video limitation can also be caused by the receiving end so make sure you call someone with a fast computer. Netbooks are almost maxed out decoding incoming stream at 320X240 and encoding outgoing video.

Have fun

Also as in from india does India getting too much defective pieces ? or its just with some people when it comes to India ..

waiting for your suggestion ..!
[LG Optimus 2x] Bebob_NL:
Based on *my* experience I would not buy this phone again. It's unstable (over 60 recorded reboots since I bought the phone on April 18) and lacks proper support from LG (why does this not surprise me?). In my opinion, LG, again, fails to deliver on it's promises and keeps on spreading lies on whether or not an "update" fixes the reboot problem. I don't see this phone last for more than 2 years of intensive use, let alone 4 years. In that case, go for another brand although I won't start suggesting specific models.

FYI: I'm an experienced Android and used nearly every ROM available to remedy the problems I experienced.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mason.:
Personally I think this phone is great. I hardly get any reboots or problems.

Install CM7, Paul's Modaco rom or the latest stock release and you'll be fine.
[LG Optimus 2x] anshmiester78900:
Well ok thnx
[LG Optimus 2x] anshmiester78900:
So mate u haven't got any problem like this before ? i mean the phone is all ok for ya ? rit ? :eek:
[LG Optimus 2x] snuffler:
I'm also a happy owner of the 2x, that is however because I was able to buy it at less than half the retail price from the company I work at. As a lot of people already have mentioned the phones hardware is really good and by flashing custom ROM's like cm7 or Modace the phone becomes "ok" for everyday usage. However for a smartphone valued over 500€ it is way to buggy to stand up among its competitors in the same price range. Seriously; I simple cannot understand why anybody would buy this phone instead of, for example, the SII or the HTC Sensation. The 2x is a nice phone, no doubt about that, but I would seriosly save a couple of bucks and buy one of the other phones I mentioned = better hardware and working software + working customer support. (btw the camera is also lousy compared to the SII and Sensation - even with the HD mods...)

I'm not a LG hater, and I'm really happy with my 2x - seriously most people are still pretty much amazed by my phone when I'm toying aroung with it running cm7 with SPB Shell 3D, clock@ 1,5ghz, dsp manager etc. but yeah It seriously cannot be compared to a Sensation or SII
[LG Optimus 2x] N0r0:
I haven'd hat any reboot both with stock rom and custom roms. In my opinion stock rom was quite well usable except the battery drain. But Paul fixed it quite good, which makes it possible to charge the phone every second day with reasonable constant usage :)

kind regards
[LG Optimus 2x] SpikeNansid:
I cant compare to a Sensation or a SII since I haven't touched them but for me at this stage the LG is SUPER. Hope you made a good choice and that you are happy with it!
[LG Optimus 2x] vladutz9:
you buy't

I am a new user of this wonderfull phone. i have waiting a lot of time this phone because is like samsung s2 on the performance but on a price much afordable. On this phone you pay only the hardware and software of the amazing android but on the HTC and Samsung a 10% you pay the logo, the brand. good luck and from my experience i recomend't

I have it from the early begining and used only with MoDaCo ROMs , had no problems. Would buy it again.

Actualy I believe that most of the problems other have is because of basebands version incompatibility with instaled RIL...
[LG Optimus 2x] zobodoor:
I like my LG 2X. To me it has the best spec for the price range and good ROM from Paul and CM7. But if money is not a problem, get galaxy S2.
[LG Optimus 2x] anshmiester78900:
Thnx for replies guys . n yes money is the problem thats y im thinking of buying this phone .!!
[LG Optimus 2x] anshmiester78900:
So this problem can be corrected ?
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Cm7 with o2x is WIN. Gone were the days of reboots, freezes etc. Latest update to cm7 was the gps. Lockon within seconds even in a room.
[LG Optimus 2x] el_liberator:
This phone is great, with a custom ROM, Modaco FR19 Fear Edition 12.1 for example, it's very stable, fast, and autonomy is good :D
[LG Optimus 2x] JoBuz:
Also for me money was a issue and after reading about lots of problem with BSOD with the O2X I was beginning to think about the ZTE Blade. But then O2X dropped a bit in price and last week I bought it. I am really glad I did! I have not experienced any BSOD. I'm running CM7 and am very glad that I've got this really nice looking piece of hardware!
[LG Optimus 2x] bullyfrog:
If you had asked me 2 months ago, i would have advised you to give the 2x a miss. Reboots, overheating, poor battery life (due to overheating) random shutdowns.. sigh, coming from an N1, this phone was a huge letdown.

Seriously, only with the release of the .22 baseband and the latest kernel (less than week old) my 2 months of headaches seem to be finally over. But as there are already dual core alternatives out there today, if i were to buy a phone now, the o2x would no longer be my preferred choice. However, if you're only concerns are about instability issues, LG seems to have finally fixed it.
[LG Optimus 2x] LanceAmr:
Hmmmm. For the time being , i dont recommend u buying this phone as it has problems with the official software. If u wish to buy it . Get it when the gingerbread is released or a very stable Cm7 which is not far away . I‘ve been using this phone bout a few months and love it for its speed , gaming and sometimes music which is when im using cm7 but what i hate is the pc suite they provide me and the lack of support they gives . This phone is my second android . My first was the x10.it had the same hardware issues but the pc suite was great. Could reformat/upgrade my phones w/o worrying . So yea. It depends on u . If u like it , get it.

[LG Optimus 2x] sauliux:
Yes. most of the problems is fixed by updating software.
[LG Optimus 2x] sid1712:
Yep, everything is perfect. Heck, i'm running stock 405 baseband and its running like a charm. Even 720p mkv High profile movies with with Moboplayer. If only it had Voodoo Sound Mod :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Zillasaur:
To be honest. I don't have much of the bsod and the rebooting problems. Since begin May had about 3 bsods.

After rooting and freezing most of the bloatware it works great.

I'm really dissatisfied with all the unnecessary apps that I don't need and won't use. Also that freezing all the bloatware fixed my bsod problem and still having to wait on 2.3. This isn't a solution, but a work around.

But as this is my second Android I'm really happy with its performance.
[LG Optimus 2x] anshmiester78900:
Ohk guys thnx a lot for ur replies :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lord_KuK:
Hi !

Do you know if it's possible to use a Jap keyboard with (in my case) an Eee Pad Transformer bought in Europe ?

I'm wondering if the Android in this Jap version has something different to handle the Japanese keyboard layout
[Eee Pad Transformer General] whirleyes:
Mine is ok. Only keyboardd is lagging
[Eee Pad Transformer General] whirleyes:
A few guys at Japanese Q&A site tried the standard keyboard. They report that the keyboard layout remain as Japanese. The keyboard layout must be hardcoded inside the firmware. I have read somewhere here that you can change that file if you have root access. In your case I think it will follow your firmware layout. I'm not sure.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Lani Kai:
Man, I'd love to get my hands on one of those. As it stands, whenever I want to type in Japanese I have to remove the Transformer from the dock and switch to a different on-screen keyboard and use that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] whirleyes:
I've made a CWM package for fixing the layout of Japanese dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ilcontegis:
Why Japan is always the last everytime?

Why the whole world has the 3.1 and japan doesn't?

Any news about a possible update? I bought the transformer for my partner and here in japan (the foreigner version is overpriced) and as it's not my toy I do not feel confortable to root and everything (as I did for my N1 and her O1).

Any hope for an update? I am really pissed off!

:(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] The-Original-Ki:
@ilcontegis: Same with me. The rest of the world will probably get 3.2 and we will still be stuck on 3.0 here in Japan :((
[Eee Pad Transformer General] The-Original-Ki:
@whirleyes: So except for the Japanese input with the dock, everything else is working fine with prime 1.5?

If you find a way to get the Japanese input working, please let us know. I want to install prime so that I can get 3.1 of android, but I don't want to give up Japanese input..

Really wish they would hurry up with a stock update
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ilcontegis:
Same here :)

I will wait a bit more, let's say 1 month...if nothing comes up I will root. It is really annoying because the 3.0.1 is pretty laggy and I know that the 3.1 is a REAL improvement for the transformer!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] whirleyes:
@ilcontegis : I've waited enough before going to Prime 1.5. Just to make sure there's no initial defect. For me, root is a must. So I don't mind upgrading.

@The-Original-Ki : The input is now working. But hankaku/muhenkan/kana key is not functional. I have to use CTRL + SPACE to switch between kana/roman.

You'll need FSKAREN.apk, libkaren.so & libhwr_u_jni.so files from original rom. If you plan to upgrade just make sure u have the backup of data & system partition. It will be handy.

Hopefully they release JP 3.1 soon so that I can fix the hankaku button with the files from it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] The-Original-Ki:
Thanks for the update whirleyes.

Yeah they are way too slow getting the JP update out. Seems like other countries are about to get 3.2 already.

I might wait for the 3.2 to come out before going the custom rom. I don't want to have to go through the process twice in a matter of days.

Japanese Keyboard : double consonant issue

Hi there,

I'm in Japan and considering buying a Transformer. However, as I was trying the hardware keyboard, I was disappointed by the fact that when I write in Japanese something like "motto" ("more" in Japanese) it will not change automatically into hiragana (japanese alphabet) the whole word (I should see something like もっと). It will show the first "t" in roman alphabet (something like : もｔと). So I will have to press the space key to change it to full hiragana (もっと). This looks like a systematic double consonant problem that does not exist with the Iconia, as I could compare.

Do you know if there is something that can be done concerning this issue ?

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Dam
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wallslide:
I have a Japanese version with a Japanese keyboard. I've already rooted and installed prime and then an overclocking kernel on mine so I'm not 100% sure if this will work in your case or not but... I installed Simeji (a popular Japanese input method for android devices), and when I use the hardware keyboard, everything works as it should. Supposedly Simeji updated recently specifically with regards to compatibility issues with honeycomb.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kisaten:
Finally a thread about the Japanese TF. The 2chan threads are a bunch of garbage for the most part :/

I'm waiting for a way back to JP firmware before upgrading to prime. I'm liking FSkaren over simeji because it has handwriting input for kanji (I'm still learning Japanese and so if I don't know the yomi, handwriting helps.)

It's too bad that gingerbreak doesn't work on the 3.0.1 JP firmware otherwise we'd have a pure root. Does anyone know how to use NVFlash well enough to make a NVFlash stock restore? That would help a lot in case any JP TF users need a warranty repair (my first TF had a faulty latch on the dock and crackling speakers).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dam:
Transformer keyboard and Simeji

Thanks for your answer ! I heard about Simeji that I used on another android (it is this app that is also used on the Iconia as far as I understood). I will try this soon !

It looks a little small compared to the other region updates.

Any chance you can post the file for us who are not rooted yet? (Asus doesn't have it posted on their site yet and my office doesn't have wifi)

Somehow I think that you may not be able to restore to stock with it if it doesn't have the files for the restore partition.

3 more hours till I can leave T_T
[Eee Pad Transformer General] whirleyes:
It's a patch files. 70Mb is a lot because of patching from honeycomb 3.01.

Just finished restoring. With a little modification to the update script, I've manage to do it.Now I'm back to JP stock rom.

Already missed the root :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kisaten:
It makes sense that it's small being a patch file.

My main concern is the recovery partition not being recoverable until a full firmware file is released.

If I take the tablet into Labi or Yodobashi, the first thing they do is try to do a system wipe; but if CMW comes up, then it's no good. If I reflash the blob from a WW/US firmware, they don't have FSKaren or the JP localization in the rom. Even if you add the update after, won't the recovery rom will still be the wrong one? (so if Asus checks they'll know you tampered with it)

Which is why I'm interested in an NVFlash method to restore our TF (like the US and WW models have)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] whirleyes:
The blob inside the update includes the recovery partition. CWM is wipe off.

I'm back to stock now, but cannot connect to wifi.. It keep say "Obtaining IP".. I need to figure it out...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kisaten:
That's good to know, it's a strange thing that the wifi isn't working though. I updated to 3.1 normally and my wifi works although I had to forget my router and find it again (the wifi was dropping out to 0 a lot before but after I forgot/re-added it was fine <- could be co-incidence).

Which method did you use to root by the way? I'm interested in getting fskaren backed up before putting prime on (So I guess NVFlash is no good). Especially if I can save the update and use it to get back to stock (since it should be stored in the cache, but there is no non-root access to it :/)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] whirleyes:
Some suggestion. Install CWM via NVFLASH. Then update it to solarnz CWM. Then backup data & system partition.

Backup also the 3.1 update files in /cache (dlpkgfile) . But you need root first to see the files inside this folder.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] whirleyes:
The wifi problem fixed!! The folders/files permission is broken because I restore old 8.2.3.13 filesystem before updating to 8.4.4.12.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ilcontegis:
Hey guys...

Why my Japanese transformer does not get the update?

How did you do the update? From the asus site there is nothing......

Writing in Japanese : problem with polaris

Hi there,

I tryed Simeji and FSKAREN with polaris.I found the following problems.

With FSKAREN there is the double consonant problem : "motto" (more in japanese) will no write もっとbut もtと if you don't press again on the space bar:mad:. It is a problem with all double consonant and is very time consumming. Iit is a faulty implementation I think.

There should be no problem because in other application this problem does show.

With Simeji there is not this double consonant problem but it will not recognize double kanjis verbs such as kakikomu (to write). So you write kakikomu, in hiragana then you press the space bar to get the kanjis but nothing is happening. Once more it is a problem only with Polaris.

If somebody has found a solution please let me know. I don't know if we sould adres the problem to Asus or Polaris or FSKAREN. I mean it was not baked th eright way !

Cheers,
