[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HareyCarey:
I am not a big fan of what I have seen of blur, but I haven't had first hand experience. I can say, from a beginner-level end-user standpoint, that Motorola's stuff isn't that bad for everyday call/text usage. I understand they are a pain to mod because of the bootloader, but I heard they announced no more locked bootloaders. I wonder why the went with a 1ghz clocked dual core instead of 1.2ghz dual core to better compete with the 3vo and the s2? Or is it just that efficient that it doesn't need the extra speed?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunstar3035:
Yeah I wasn't trying to come off like a jerk. I guess IMO buying anything other then a Nexus device for me would be stupid.

I just really like stock Android, I don't want to root or run custom Roms, and like to add functionality myself. I also like getting updates first. I should have said all that.

But if someone wants to buy an HTC or whatever and have their flashy UI and widgets more power to them, but its not for me.

Sorry if anyone took what I said the wrong way...I can be kinda blunt.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
I ran an Atrix and 3D side by side and the Atrix beat it in linpack and quadrant, so the 1.2ghz isnt necessary apparently.

Here's a good review of the Photon which is dropping Sunday

http://androidheadlines.com/2011/07/motorola-photon-4g-review.html
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
I just got home with my new Photon. Im very impressed with it so far. Amazing radio and screen. Ive had full bars since i left Best Buy and my Nexus would generally have 0-1 bar everywhere.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You don't have to keep bumping your thread back up to the top to try and convince us to switch to a Motorola phone.

Thanks, but no thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cteneyck:
You don't have to be a d bag either. There isn't a forum for the photon
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeyinid:
I still have my nexus dude. But alot of people are having the same issues as me when it comes to it. Im just trying to let people know there is an awesome new phone available for sprint people. If you have a problem with me pm me about it and we can figure it out, no need to publicly be a douche.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tspx23:
I called a T-mobile Rep today about the "Screen-Bleeding" issue that many people are facing. It's not a deal breaker on my phone, just wanted to see if there was anything that could be done about it. She redirected me to LG saying a fix would be coming in terms of a software update. (clearly she did not know what she was talking about as this is a hardware problem)

Anyways, I asked the LG rep about the screen-bleeding issue and if there is ever going to be a fix for it. He said "No, the problem is there with all phones not just ours and we cannot offer replacements." I asked him what the t-mobile rep meant about a software update coming later this month. He said T-mobile has been saying that LG will release an update soon to their customers for a while now and it has nothing to do with what LG really plans to do. To his knowledge he is not even sure if LG is planning to release an update.

On a side note, surprisingly on my second call to t-mobile they decided to replace my phone, really odd considering I purchased my phone off craigslist. I did have to pay a 20 dollar warranty/exchange fee however.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Before anyone goes all batty over this statement, remember what we know:

-T-Mobile support staff and apparently their retention staff do not have a consistent statement around updates/upgrades. This is evident by the variety of statements we have seen reported here.

-LG is a big company. They have been very vague about what is up next for the G2x. Though we can be fairly sure an update is coming, details about fixes etc, have mainly come from the T-Mobile people mentioned above, and rumors created by us and other forums, to include the Tech Paparazzi.

-There have been many reports of an update out in the open. Nothing is confirmed by LG, but, we have visual documentation of its existence.

-Screen Bleed is indeed a hardware problem and it is not unique to LG.

-Many of the current, hot new phones have been experiencing very similar problems with reboots, screen bleeds, death grips, WiFi failure.

-There appears to be a consistent story among all companies where there are reports of problems, along with reports of no problems.

While we would love to hold T-Mobile and LG accountable for issues with any phone, most likely, they will fix what they will fix and move on. We'll argue for awhile, Mr. Clown will shut threads down, and eventually in a few months we too will move on. For me, I have a relatively problem free phone, I would love to see it loaded with the newest of the new. To my friends and partners in crime on XDA who have problematic phones, I hope the update will bring relief. I know the answer is going to be somewhere in between.

I look forward to the dialog this thread will create based on first hand conversation with both companies....let the rioting begin....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tspx23:
Yeah definitely agree seems that there is a lot of hype rumors created from the t-mobile side to get the release out to the customers to keep them happy. Don't think it is that "pressing" for LG to really push out any update and to them they don't really care, but are just doing so to fulfill their contract requirements with T-mobile. But come on the leak has been out for two months and still LG hasn't pushed the update out to T-mobile. Sure hope it will come soon!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] melinton:
Honesyly I don't even ccare about the update anymore. I just rooted and flashed nightlies on my phone and everything is better. Our devs Here are better then their engineers it seems like
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ramirez3805:
But for real.a software update that was released in december..........
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adevilfish:
AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

why does every joe blow feel the need to post every conversation he has with a clueless phone rep?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Its one thing if the problems you listed are experienced by the minority but its another when the problem is as wide spread as the screen bleed issue on the G2X. I think out of all the phones recently released, the GSII is probably built the best in terms of major wide spread issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Triune:
If you don't like it don't read it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Eh they have some nasty issues too. Nasty Yellow spots and other screen issues. They do seem to have the least amount of "major" problems. My G2x runs flawlessly these days. So it would be between yellow spots or screen bleed.

I honestly think that it is just the Nvidia hardware. I have a Asus Transformer and it also has the Sleep of Death issues (won't wake up). Just like the G2x, a custom rom and kernel fixed it as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Hmm, not exactly. The banding on the left 1/4 of the screen can only be seen on a solid grey background, at 10% display brightness, in the dark, and by taking a picture of the screen. You can't see it with the naked eye. To the anal retentive, it's huge. To the 97% of the forum that haven't even looked at the thread on it, not so much. There's been other display QC issues but nothing horrible considering how many have been sold.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Can we just post in all caps on the main page "CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS KNOW LITERALLY NOTHING"?

Would probably save a lot of heartache.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paparasee:
Thanks to some of the guys that helped me out with answers in this Post I have now got the TF.

As advised, I got one with a serial number that begins with B6 :)

Came home and tried to set it up ... Wifi was required and so I enabled it, but no luck ... refuses to find my home SSID. Turns out that I have to go to regulatory domain and change the number of channels to 14.

I am in brothers house as I have come to Australia for holiday. It is here that the above problems arose. He tried to help by attempting to change the channel he uses to a different one, but :( he can't remember his setup password.

A search on xda reveals a number of guys having problem with the missing option of setting Regulatory Domain. Anyone knows how to get around this trouble?

On my Nexus S I have a custom rom that has the option to set Regulatory Domain, but don't think it was there originally.

Thanks for any help/ advise.

PS ... I have 3.1 on the TF :)

[Thunderbolt General] oakdog8:
I searched through the rooting thread, but that only said it was ok to root the phone after installing the latest update from verizon. Now that my phone is rooted, can I still apply the updates verizon pushes down?
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
No no no NO!

You will lose root.
[Thunderbolt General] Beastclaw:
You wouldnt even get the updates Verizon pushes. You could manually flash the RUU's and you would loose root or you could just wait until the ROM you use starts basing their future versions off of the updates which wont lose root.
[Thunderbolt General] emsrider:
If you look on the TB forum sites you will usually be able to find the update for rooted phones to if you are not using a custom ROM.

[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
After a ridiculous snafu on Sprint's part involving upgrading my wife's HTC Hero to a Nexus S, which has resulted in a long winded complaint to the BBB concerning Sprint's idiocy, I encountered a problem with my phone. In the upgrade process, the dumbass as the Sprint store decided he needed to deactivate my phone for a few mins to do some voodoo magic (?) and then accidentally reactivated it to the old Hero, rather than my Epic (I was not at the store when this all went down). Needless to say I was unable to reactivate my my phone by updating the profile even, so I spent an hour on the phone with Customer Care trying to get my Epic working again, and SOMEWHERE in that whole process the CWM backup files and the CWM folder the resided in on my SD card were erase. I had done a factory reset right after a backup this morning since the EF02 ROM I was running, which was just the basic deodexed with the screen off animation and overscroll flashed in, would force close every time I tried to go to Settings > About Phone > System Updates. So back on factory EF02 I was and though the System Updates worked I couldn't get the profile to update since the MSID got all messed up. The Customer Care rep had me perform a RTN reset from the dialer, but that is about it, and now all my data is just gone... I'm trying in earnest to recover the back .img files, but am having little success so far (trying TestDisk on my Ubuntu laptop). I took a raw image of the SD card immediately, before trying any sort of recovery efforts, so if anyone has ANY advice, tips, trick, or ideas for me to get my CWM .img files back, I would love you for forever.
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
cant be much help,

but i recommend you start using titanium backup to backup stuff so u can go from phone to phone :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
I figured the backups in CWM would be good enough, but I guess not...
[Epic 4G General] machx0r:
Not directly related to solving your problem but will prevent it in the future... Make a backup and/or remove SD card prior to giving to tech (same applies w/ the hard drive in your laptop, ps3, toaster, etc.).
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
I had the phone and was walking through this with the Sprint Customer Care rep on the phone, and there was nothing I did that should have had any effect on specifically the CWM directory on the SD card... just doesn't make sense.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:

[Epic 4G General] ecooce:
Sorry to hear that, but wht I do is make 2 nand backups when I do a backup, save both on the phone, and then save those 2 on my pc.

I've been developing code for almost 35 years, and to restrict me from posting to a developers forums until I post 10 posts in other forums is frankly ...

silly ... not to metion useless.

What's to prevent a 12-year old with TONS of time on his hands, to post 10 times in one day and circumvent your restriction.

Whereas, serious developers, like me, are interferred with and hampered.

Wow.

My friend, this has been covered time and time (and time) again. If you've developed code for thirty-something years, you have the skills and the nouse to help ten members in the Q&A thread. Then you can post in a Dev forum.

Press and Hold Vol-down + 3D button

Press the power button until you see the LG logo, then release it

Continue to hold down the Vol-dwn & 3D buttons until you boot into recovery!

[LG Optimus 3D] Meemo23:
It's hold volume key down and power button.

So hold volume key down and then power on button, Let go off the power button when you see the lg logo and keep holding the volume down key untill screen goes blank and bingo cwr hehehe...
[LG Optimus 3D] shollywood:
Even easier way. Go into ROM Manager and press reboot into recovery mode....

Yeah but if you get a bootloop you can't access Rom manager and then you need to do the hold volume button thing to get to recovery ;)

BRICKED DESIRE HD!!!!​

Oh dear i done something really really stupid.... i was trying to change the color of my phone dialer screen by modding the com.htc.resources.apk in system/framework! Well anyway i had it all worked out & i was gonna do a lil tiny change using a modded .png i made one mistake & BOOOOM.... force close, lagg, lagg more force close & plenty more lag! Anyway it was a brick.... or a soft brick! panic set in that id screwed up my phone, i couldn't connect via usb to my pc or do anything, then my device shut down, then just kept bootlooping! could't do a thing so i tried recovery mode but could't do much still bootlooping.

So anyway here is the steps i did to recover -

1. Turned off (pull battery if needed)

2. Take out the SD card & put into PC via an adapter

3. Loaded my Custom Rom zip to my card (i used LeeDROID)

4. Put back my card in the phone

5. Turned back on & entered recovery mode

6. Wiped Cache (not a factory reset)

7. Entered Advanced mode & wiped Dev Cache

8. Flash the custom zip file (i used LeeDROID)

9. Now reboot!

10. Now the most important thing.... Wait.... wait & wait (it should take a few minutes)

Now it will rebuild your rom & most importantly your framework!!!! ;)

& if everything went ok your phone should be working again :D

Now i hope this worked for you & if it does please leave a comment & click the thanks button :cool:

now if you want ..some thanks clicks ...try to do something creative..

this thread is something usless....

hundreds of times we do a wrong flash and the handset becomes unusable (semi bricked)..... and then we re-flash the rom and everything comes back to normal..

you should be thankful to the people who introduced the recovery mode ... instead of that you want the thanks button clicks .... waoo... i am proud of you..

[HD2 General] AngelDeath:
I'll help you bump this, cause I just ran exactly into the same problem. I have two HD2's, One has a bad screen and using mtty I check it and it was clean no bad blocks, the one thats been working all this time with no issues, not has about 5-7 bad blocks. Using android, it prevently USB syncing to work, and if I download something from market, it reboots the phone, which I know its cause of these bad blocks locations.

I tried mtty and task29, neither has removed the bad blocks or fixed them, and have found nothing else in a whole days search on how to correct them.

I would love some help on this too!
[HD2 General] elojo_8:
i have a similar problem i have bad blocks in htc tilt 2 but when i put task a2 dont executing nothing.
[HD2 General] silverwind:
That was the reason why I am now using SD Android instead of Nandroid. I suspect the Nandroid flashing that has caused bad blocks on my HD2 :rolleyes:

Nothing you can do :(

Some says that if your bad blocks are below 10 and can run OS, that is fine and considered normal.

I just hope that there is a tool that can move the badblocks into a location in the NAND cluster such that will not fail any flash attempt.

Cheers
