[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
In my opinion, since you're concerned about where your apps and widgets are located, pay more attention to what it says under "Manage Applications".

I agree that it's a little backwards to use the USB Storage monicker to refer to two opposite situations, but as long as your applications are showing up in the right place in the "Manage Applications" dialog, you should be in good shape.

If you're really worried about it, un-mount and remove your micro SD card and make sure all of your apps and widgets still show up in "Manage Applications" - if they do, you're in good shape. (In my experience, you usually have to get an application that moves apps/widgets to the microSD.)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashish16:
(duplicate)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashish16:
All of my apps are installing to the microsd card. I have to manually move them to the phone storage after they install. I thought that the phone storage was always the default. I want to fix it but I can't find how because every time I search for it I get the opposite, people wanting to move from phone to microsd and set that as the default.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Perhaps as a test you could try removing your microSD card and trying to install an app. See what happens, and maybe an option will come up to change the default install location.

I have no idea if this will work, but it's something to try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashish16:
Installed two apps. Without the microsd card it installed to the phone. But right after that I installed the microsd card and it reverted back to the USB storage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Something else to try, if you have access to ADB, is this command:

adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

(see this page for reference on that command).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashish16:
Thanks I'll give that a try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashish16:
didn't work, but when I tried to use adb i didn't get the usual "shell started" display. The phone is in debugging mode, I even restarted. The shell worked fine once, and now it won't work at all.... ugh.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashish16:
I even tried "setInstallLocation 1" to force the phone instead of auto. I am going to try "2"

*So far no good, should I restart after I set install location.

** I've tried everything. I even installed an app that sets the install location and not matter what it still installs to the USB Storage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
try rebooting to recovery mode (if you have CWM) and starting adb from there like this:

adb root

adb shell

and make sure you have the # prompt, not the $. If you get the $ prompt, you can try using "sudo" before the command.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashish16:
There is no CWM for KF1 yet, but I will try your commands in recovery.

*Update: ADB didn't work in recovery (no CWM yet), so tried while in debug mode. sudo didn't work, but got the # prompt with su. Tried to set the install location and still no luck. The applications still install to the microsd card.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashish16:
At this point, I think my only option is to reflash the ROM (without the microsd card installed).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Sorry I couldn't offer a better solution. Hopefully the reflash will fix things. Just make sure you Tibu first, and your restoration shouldn't be too painful.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hashish16:
Thanks for taking the time to help out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
I'm on Cognition 5 Beta 2 (that is based on the Leaked i897uckf1)...

There is an option under Menu/ Settings/ Applications/ "Preferred location"

Do you have this option ? If so, ur choice is there--- "Internal memory"

Not sure if after u choose that option u would have to reboot for it to take.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcylcruzin:
It doesn't matter whether you had a microsd card installed. I removed microsd +sim before flash and also ran the adb shell from command prompt... didn't seem to make a difference.

Let me know if someone finds a fix for this!:confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piburglar:

[LG Optimus 3D] Mooks:

it's really hard to brick a phone...

read the guide for flashing via pc and it will work again.

i'm not shure but think the o3d has also a downloadmode (volume down+power)

if the downloadmode also doesn't work it's really ****ed up:eek:

but as i said i'm not shure if there is a downloadmode...

edit: ok sorry... at the moment there is no way to update the phone via pc without a running os. sorry but you'll have to w8 till there is a way. (like odin from samsung)

[LG Optimus 3D] knzo:
Flash KDZ or use LG's recovery to go back to normal. Boot it up on download mode for this.

This is what happens when you start flashing crap from 2X.

Probably since partitions are different, you've just formatted what you shouldn't have.
[LG Optimus 3D] lilatommy:
tnk everybody but it don't go in download mode! or maybe i wrong something....how should i try to go in download mode? with key combination it don go! please help
[LG Optimus 3D] knzo:
Try this:

1. Remove battery

2. Press volume up

3. While it is pressed, insert the usb cable

Should enter download mode I think.

If it doesn't, try the same thing but with volume down.

Afterwards, you can let go of the key, and go to LG mobile tools and on the menu click recovery. It'll ask for your IMEI, put it there and press ok. Wait for the process to finish.
[LG Optimus 3D] lilatommy:
but...KDZ is a us odin is for samsung? this is the first lg i have...maybe the last too
[LG Optimus 3D] lilatommy:
I try but after i inpout emai and product code, the download never start and a error messege appear
[LG Optimus 3D] knzo:
Try to flash a KDZ then.
[LG Optimus 3D] lilatommy:
how to flash a KDZ? what sw do I need?
[LG Optimus 3D] lilatommy:
I've try to flash a kdz but the problem is the same than before. the pc don't see the phone. I've try without battery pushing vol up and plug usb but it begin to feel the phone andg give error message sound continuosly like a loop. if i look the hardware in PC proprity it appear snd disappear with the sound tha i told before. it is like if I plug the phone 1 time for second...the pc reveak and reject it...I'm in a **** situation
[LG Optimus 3D] knzo:
Did you install the drivers?
[LG Optimus 3D] lilatommy:
yes of course..as I wrote on first message I've had allready root the phone with oneclick when everything happened...so the pc was allready pared with the phone...I really don't know what to do! that's a bad day for me
[LG Optimus 3D] lilatommy:
Non abbandonatemi vi prego
[LG Optimus 3D] lele344:
Spero che tu sia piu fortunato di me... ti spiego in inglese se no mi cazziano.

Connect usb cable, the telephone start automatically.

Press and hold power button to shutdown the telephone (ca 5 seconds)

Press Power button and volume up (hold the key for 10 seconds).

You can hear the usb sound from your operating system.

Repress power and volume up for another 10 sec.

You can hear usb sound, don't remove finger from two buttons, waiting another sound.

Now you can use lg software to try to restore the original firmware.

The problem for my telephone is the "upgrading firmware" page don't start... any time I power up the telephone I see the upgrading firmware page but the progress bar don't move.

I hope you have more lucky

This is a little guide on optimus 3d, for reset to factory settings

Get updater if you don't have go here http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe

After the installation start the updater and follow these steps.

1 Install the correct drivers

2 select the top right option and select your model phone from list “LGP920”

3 after the drivers are installed extract the battery and shut-down, then while holding volumUp button insert the usb cable in to pc.

4 Once your pc finds the phone let it install the drivers

5 Once done your phone will display “S/W Upgrade”.

6 now in the updater go to >support go to >select disaster recovery.

7 before recovery starts enter imei and serial number of the phone.

Wait until the process finishes and everything is completed, remove the usb cable insert the battery and start normally.

Hope this helps.

I need your help. I have my Optimus 3D rooted and CWM recovery installed. This morning I wanted to uninstall games and social apps that came with OS. I used root uninstaller. Mistakenly I uninstalled LG Home.apk as well. Now my phone is stuck at LG logo screen when i restart. I have a nandroid backup and if i manage getting in to CWM recovery I can restore the backup. I don't know how to get in to CWM recovery. Is there way to get to CWM recovery mode using any button combination.

Many thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus 3D] hefonthefjords:
Turn it off. Press and hold volume down + 3d button + power button. Release power button when you see lg logo but keep holding the other two. This will boot you into CWM.

It took me a few tries to get it right cuz its awkward as hell to press all three of those.
[LG Optimus 3D] smohanv:
It worked. Million thanks to you...

This combi button guide should be available as a sticky note in this forum so that it is easily accessible to the bricked LG 3D owners. When i was looking for the solution this morning most of the advices were to reflash official rom though the user may have said that they have CWM flashed.

Once again many thanks.

Yep, extended battery from Verizon/Moto fits quite well in the dock.

Those blue and purple snap on cases though? Not so much. The screen will barely slide and basically gets stuck if you have the extended battery. Doesn't matter though, my gf thought I might want one but turns out we gotta take it back since it doesn't fit.

I have the extended battery, the verizon case/holster, and the dock. While the verizon case DOES support the extended battery, its very difficult to fit the phone on the dock (with the insert removed) while in the verizon case with the extended battery. It says right on the box for the case that its compatible with the dock and the ext. battery but it took me several minutes to get it to fit, and even then, it felt really tight like it didn't want to sit properly in the cradle. This pisses me off.
[Motorola Droid 3] tliebeck:
I have both and it works. I will say that the docking station is a bit of a let down compared to the original docking station I used with the Droid1 and 2.

It's not weighted.

The phone doesn't slide in/out of it nearly as easily as the Droid 1 / 2 setup.

The USB port is for charging only, it's not a passthrough if connected to a computer.

Wouldn't buy it again.

[Droid X General] Maratu:
I have been running stock everything since I got the phone last year. I even was patient and did the OTA for gingerbread. I have had no problems at all, but that changed this morning, and I hope someone here can help me out.

I was using my phone normally, checking mail, texts, games between work and what have you, when suddenly while texting in the stock text app, with the stock multitouch keyboard, the key board froze on the screen. I tried to back out, close the keyboard, go back to my message, but it wasn't having it. Then I tried to go home - the keyboard stayed on the bottom half of the screen (portrait mode) and the top half filled with what would have been the bottom half of the screen. Couldn't touch anything. Hit home again, I got the display of my seven pages, but when I touched one the keyboard stayed and did the same thing to each page. Nothing on the screen worked. Couldn't access settings, menu, what have you. I tried rebooting (thankfully I could touch the power off menu.) Upon restart, everything seemed normal, but when I went back into messaging, the exact same thing happened. I decided then to play around a bit. This happens in landscape mode as well, except upon switching to portrait, half the keyboard just gets cut off and the other half of the screen just goes to black. Sometimes I can get the settings screen to pop up, and if I change the keyboard to Swype, and THEN reboot, everything will be back to normal. Using swype for everything does work, so that's a temp fix. This happened with the stock keyboard in everything I tried -gmail, talk, texting, G+, Facebook, etc....

I could not find anything pertaining to this in the DX forums, so please if any one has any ideas let me know. Thanks a lot!

It was like it needed a "reboot" for all the new features in GB to replace the old.
[Droid X General] Maratu:
I seriously can't believe it's this unstable after all this time : (

I will try and install a different keyboard first, before flashing. I think if I do flash, I'm gonna go with a rooted version and start cooking up some roms. It's unacceptable to have the "official" phone to be so much worse.
