when you plug your phone into your PC and you're in bootloader does it say "USB" on the phone?

edit: you on a tmobile USA phone or international one?
[HD2 General] samuel79:
uk t mobile unlockd when i try'd it in my frends pc it says it dectects the procsser but wont install hardwaare but it dont have activesync on it /running xp
[HD2 General] orangekid:
You don't need activesync on it since you are running from the bootloader. The only reason you would use activesync is to get it into bootloader mode.

does it say USB on your phone in bootloader when you connect it?
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
task29 erases everything except the HSPL...

so...after task29...

flash your stock ROM and done!

OR

if you want to use a custom ROM that INCLUDES a radio, then flash the ROM and done!

OR

if you want to use a custom ROM that DOES NOT INCLUDE a radio, then flash the chef recommended radio and ROM and done!

i have a feeling this "omega" ROM you speak about might not include a radio. this would be mentioned in the thread of the omega ROM...read and proceed accordingly.

Also, when 2.3.4 upgrade arrives, will I get a notification through my phone or do I have to connect my phone to Kies every day to check?

How about: About phone -> Software update -> Check for update

Hey ppl I extracted a few splash screens from a Das Bamf thunderbolt rom. Thought they were too cool to keep to one phone haha. I only put one into PG32IMG so far but theres 2 more i plan on doing. I didn't create these so I'm not taking any credit for the splash screen image itself and I am posting with permission, from a member of Team Bamf... Hope you guys enjoy. Whoops first time ever posting something for download as always download and install through bootloader and at your own risk.

This is the best little how to do i could find. There's also tools that will splash images for you and push em to your phone, but they come out blurry at times. I didn't like the way they looked, but if you look around for splash creators I'm sure you'll be able to find em.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Adjmal Lotun:
Hi all, I've been very interested with XDA-Developers since i bought my LG P500. I'm currently having an issue with video playback on my phone. Here's a quick rundown of my slightly tweaked phone:

Stock Froyo 2.2 rom v10a

Franco kernel v18.1

Rooted phone with superuser,rom manager,titanium backup,root explorer etc..

And here's my problem:

I wanted to get rid of the buggy stock video app on my froyo,and use one from the market.So, i took precautions and made a backup of stock video player 1.64 using TBackup, deleted the stock vid app using TB itself, then installed a new video app from the market (actually i installed a few..). But when i try to play a video stored on my phone/sdcard with my new vid app, it causes a 'force close' error for all the different vid apps.

I then thought i might hav made an error deleting the stock vid app. So i tried to restore it using TB, but when trying to restore, it remained stuck on the 'Restoring App' and kept on and on trying to restore. I even needed to restart my phone for that to stop, and of course the stock vid app was still not restored.

I tried another workaround: using root explorer, i gained access to system/app folder on my phone and tried to install the stock system video.apk in it, with R/W. still nothing.tried changing the permissions as well, still nothing. I am at a loss here friends, and do not intend to flash a custom rom for the moment [i.e. until i try the official gingerbread rom and see for myself if it is good enough, else, either mik's 6.6 or noejn's rom..] So please, help me guys on this one to get my stored videos working again on my stock froyo rom..

Thx.:o
[Optimus One, P500, V General] digkong:
Have u tried rockplayer universal version.. and make sure that the video is not above the resolution of 680*320
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Adjmal Lotun:
No i havent tried rockplayer, but i'll give it a go, even though i'm pretty sure the outcome will be the same. Also, the video i am trying to play is one which i recorded with my lg p500 camera itself. That video was playing fine before i removed the stock video app.. Now no video stored on my phone is playing. On the other hand, my youtube app streams youtube videos just fine..

I think maybe i am gonna hav to look for a system dump, extract the stock vid app, and somehow try to shove it into system apps using root explorer..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihir287:
I think that's the way to go. Get hold of it from somewhere, from a nand backup, or from a stockrom.zip. Plus the stock rom is not deodexed, so you'll need the apk and the odex file as well. Or you could simply perform a factory reset.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Adjmal Lotun:
As it is, there is no odex file for the stock movie player app in system/app folder. Can anyone please brief me as to how I should go about restoring my stock vid app on my lg p500 and get my vids to work again?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Adjmal Lotun:
Do u have any idea where i can get an odex file for the stock video player app? i cant seem to find one anywhere.. I've also got a nand backup, but they r all img. files.. how should i go about extracting the apk and odex files i need from the nand backup?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
Just try this enable USB debugging than use TB to restore the app.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Adjmal Lotun:
Still doesn't work even with usb debugging on. TB wont restore it at all.. It's like stuck in a loop while trying to restore the stock vid app.. Can anyone send me a link where I can download a system dump of froyo 2.2 for lg p500?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] gkarthik16:
Regarding the TB restoring issue, I face it every time and I've totally stopped trying to restore. I got fed up :D

Have you tried flashing the addon packages for void forever ROM? There is a package which has the stock video app I suppose. Try flashing it through CWM.

[EDIT]: Sorry I didn't notice that you're using 2.2. I don't think the void forever addon pack would work.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Adjmal Lotun:
I've finally found a workaround for this problem guys.i downloaded a vid app called mx video player as well as it's associated codec addon from the market.my stored vids are working again as long as I keep both of them apps on my phone..

The pair of them (app + addon) are quite heavy though, anyone knows a lighter equivalent by any chance?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bhawan:
One solution

install busybox from market, run the app and click install, its shows status- done which can give u R/W access to system partition and the install vm heap tool. set vm heap size 48 MB. then install mobo player and then mobo player codec from then market. go to the menu of mobo player tick mark soft decording option. and ur phone can play even 720p videos. Its lag but its can play. Use XVID4PSP convert software for best playing for P-500

There are enough nice themes and apps to make you think you have sense installed..but i want the real thing...

I know i asked before but want to get more on this subject...after all its only a software launcher??

And since it seems the evo3d gets rooted next week or so, i really want to hear possibilities:)

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 3D] Mooks:
Omg...

sense is not just a theme or a launcher, its a total change of android.

the evo 3d IS NOT the o3d so the rom from htc is more or less useless!

if you whant sense then sell your o3d and get an evo 3d and stop asking fkr a useless port.

youl'll see if somebody is bored enought to try a port but till then it's useless to open such a thread.
[LG Optimus 3D] borgqueenx:
Hmmm okay..i dont have either phones its just that sense is a + for htc evo3d.
[LG Optimus 3D] Mooks:
mhm... why? i mean sense is nice but it doesn't has anything what the o3d doesn't has.

in fact the hardware of the o3d is much better and you'll see in a few weeks there are tonns of nice customroms for the o3d :)
[LG Optimus 3D] borgqueenx:
You said it. Sense is nice. So nice that its a selling point for me.

The optimus's cortex 9 and apparantly better 3d view are sexy as well. But the design of the phone sucks imo, doesnt have a notification led and the resolution is fair, but not great, also saw better 2d photos and videos on youtube coming from the evo3d.

So im having a hard time, like i also said in other topics^^

The evo3d gets root as well next week probaly, so you cant convince me with the custom roms, unless it can make the optimus run sense3.0.

Also its stopid that everyone here tries to get me to the optimus side, and at the evo3d forum everybody says their 3vo is better. I knew thiswould happen but it makes making descisions harder. Im glad some people saw both phones and at least now i know the optimus3d does got a better 3d screen.
[LG Optimus 3D] altec1000:
You will see 2D more than 3D. Sense is a selling point for you so buy the HTC EVO 3D.
[LG Optimus 3D] borgqueenx:
Yeah...but still i wonder if i wont miss the optimus 3d capability, wich is better.

I wonder how much it is better though..i dont care about a viewing angle. I do care about clarity.
[LG Optimus 3D] Mooks:
if sense is really a must have for you, you should buy the htc because it will take some MONTHS to port it to the o3d and maybe it would be still full of bugs.

you could make it yourself a little bit easyer to decide through a professional way:

first of all make a list of all the attributes of your favorite phone for e.g.

processingpower

ui

style

price

camera

display

storage

connectivity

community

support

battery

and so on

sort them by giving them points.

now choose wich phone gets what attributepoints.

and you'll see what phone has the most points!

if its to hard to decide between two attributes you can compare them to all the other attributes;)

i hope this will help you:)
[LG Optimus 3D] altec1000:
He wants both and doesn't want to choose. Which will end in not buying one of them.
[LG Optimus 3D] jonytk:
For all the noobs, 3d is just for bragging, don't worry about that, I end up playing the 3d games with low 3d settings... and i have the o3d, that said, i would love a sense ui but i think the developers should do it with the 2.3 !

Both phones are nice and fast, maybe battery is the most decisive aspect.

LG we want 2.3 !!!!
[LG Optimus 3D] dunngh:
I would like to try Sense on the O3D. For me it isn't a choice between phone, but a choice between Sprint and AT&T. Sprint doesn't have service in my area so... That being said, I am only choosing this phone now instead of waiting for the next Nexus because I don't want to wait anymore, 3D gives bragging rights to non-geeky friends, and there is no guarantee the next Nexus device will come to AT&T. I trust that developers will create oodles of ROM's incuding Ice Cream Sandwich. I hope.
[LG Optimus 3D] Mooks:
well in fact the o3d is faster than the evo 3d. the processor is a little bit faster and with the dualchannel it's much faster. all the test are showing, that the o3d ist even with 2.2 faster than all the other phones with 2.3 ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] snowing:
I agree with you. O3D with 2.2 is already faster than other 2.3 phones. Also the UI is very clean and useful. It actually got all the missing features from samsung touchwiz. For myself I am happy with it. I have used htc desire and aria as well, sense is good and useful, but use up too much resource. So unless a launcher is designed as a general launcher like golauncher, I would not have great hope in a ported launcher for specific brand. As there are specific codes within those launchers.

So, I was bored and sitting in class, when I decided I should add my D3 to my laptop as a bluetooth device (for file transfers down the road).

After I established a connection, I figured out you can tether through bluetooth.

Here's how (for Windows 7):

1) Press Start

2) Open "devices and printers"

3) Enable bluetooth on your phone

4) Click on "add a device" in the top-left of "devices and printers" on your computer

5) Establish a connection.

6) Find your D3 in the list of devices

7) Right click the phone's icon

8) Hover your mouse over "connect using" so that "access point" pops out to the right of the menu

9) "Click "access point"

10) INTERNET
[Motorola Droid 3] elcapitaine:
just found this out too...

is there any way for verizon to figure out that youre doing this (other than the obvious 'if youre torrenting and pulling huge amounts of data they'll know')
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
I don't know if they can or not. I've pulled over 15gb of data this month (on my Incredible before I switched to D3 2 days ago) using the wireless tether app. I know they can't with that, so maybe this works the same way.
[Motorola Droid 3] imnotmikal:

No offense, but it's people like you that caused Verizon to implement data caps and the new tiers in the first place.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
It was just that one time, lol. The internet in my dorm went down.
[Motorola Droid 3] Abradax:
They offered unlimited packages then get indignant when someone uses more than a couple hundred megs.

They put the new tiers in place PURELY to make money. They know as people start using netflix and spotify/pandora they will use more and more data. They could have beefed up the network, or charged people so much money that people won't be able to use the features they bought on said phones.

They went with option B.

I didn't see this post before, I've been trying to get Wifi Tethering to work on my SIM Based (3G) Droid 3 on Telstra (in Australia).

I tried everything, new ROM, wifi tether hack, tether market apps but nada. It would connect to Wifi, but either NAT doesn't work, or something like that is stopping data from passing "through" the phone.

This morning I thought maybe I can get Bluetooth tether to work with my Asus Transformer (unrooted).

After pairing, and selecting "Internet Access" in the pairing options on the tablet everything works! Awesome. I was so close to sending this phone back.

All I need to do now is work out how to fix the CRAPPY battery life! (and figure out wifi tether when I have more time).

[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
The technology has been around a while, its greedy carriers that have been blocking it. It makes no sense with metered data plans, x GB is still x GB whether consumed on the phone or on a tethered computer. We are surprised the Droid 3 and other Droid phones can bluetooth tether for free without root. Why would I pay for wifi tether when bluetooth is free. I'm not sure what the speed limit of bluetooth is but I get full 3G speeds.
[Motorola Droid 3] Mibuix0r:
Mine is extremely slow on my work laptop compared to when I use the mobile hotspot. Is this normal? It's a work laptop and they still force me to use windows XP could that have something to do with it?
[Motorola Droid 3] The-Captain:
Is this free without any rooting/hacking?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
When I use it, it's just as fast as normal 3G speeds.

Also, above poster, yes, it is free and only requires you pair it with something.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
BT 2.x can reach around 1MBps, which is more than enough for GSM/GPRS/EDGE and even plain UMTS connections. HSPA connections are faster, the XT860 is rated for 14 Mbps, the XT883 is "limited" to 10 Mbps.

Practically I haven't get past 5MBps with my droid 3 but 5Mbps is still 5x the BT speed.

In short is still nice to have the BT tethering working out of the box, but should be used as a temporary/emergency solution
[Motorola Droid 3] SrulDog:
me too (there must be several thousand of us by the way) i got an hp desktop though ;)
[Motorola Droid 3] Mibuix0r:
So bluetooth can actually support the full speed of 3G. I wonder why my bluetooth is slower than my mobile hotspot then?
