[Acer Iconia A500] The Odom Project:
My only question its- why? I haven't noticed the color being off on mine, have you?
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
If you put your tab beside a calibrated monitor you will. But I'm not suggesting the tab 'should' be perfect - they do have a tendency to err on the cool side of things with green or red being the lesser of the gamma.

I would like to have control over the RGB but it's unlikely anything will ever be available. I'm dubious of that app linked to in the OP - though I'm sure it work.

No, not "off." I just wanted something to increase the saturation of my screen, by increasing the levels of the RGB pixels.

[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
Starting from yesterday (before never got this issues) if i try to connect my lg dual to my pc (USB) ,just nothing happens as if I had not connected anything....(also adb doesn't find deviced)

My pc doesn't find any new devices attached or nothing else..just work the battery recharge.

Inside the rom all working as normal,with root explorer i can see both sd card's ecc...

I have tryed different pc's with different windows os but nothing change (all pcìs with lg united driver installed)

Also i have tryed different rom's like miui or cm7 but nothing change

any idea? what can i do?

EDIT: I think is USB bricked or something like that....Could NVFlash help me?

UPDATE 09-09-11: FIXED BY LG ASSISTANCE after 3 weeks....(electronic part broken)
[LG Optimus 2x] crime_of_heart:
try with another cable. if no success most probably usb port damage at the phone.
[LG Optimus 2x] stevvie:
As silly as it sounds check the mini USB port on the phone for fluff. I had a similar thing and it turned out to be a tiny piece of tissue in the port.
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
i have just checked the port and it seem all ok,nothing strange...

tryed different cable and no luck...
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
try another computer,also make sure you have the drivers installed correctly, even if you think you have , try uninstalling then reinstalling

It's definatly NOT BRICKED
[LG Optimus 2x] snuffler:
I'm having the exact same problem, really pissed off!!! Tried almost every rom available, wiping data/cache, fixing permissions, installing new drivers, different cable, reflashing kernels, different RILs, tried to connect my old htc legend running cm7 to the computer (which worked just fine..) Really I'm seriously considering throwing away my o2x and getting for example an SII - I'm simply tired as hell of constantly having to flash different roms, kernels, RILS & basebands and yet still always experiencing random bugs. I just want a phone that works. Crappy LG... :(
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
I have just tryed on a different pc,7 x64,removed the lg driver,rebooted,installed it again but nothing change....When i connect my device to pc,the pc doesn't find anything new like as my device is not connected to the pc usb port..

i'm happy that isn't bricked,but now i really don't know how to try....

as u said ,really same situation...
[LG Optimus 2x] Kag:
1. Try powering it off, remove the battery, hold volume down and plug the cable in see if it goes into flash mode. See if the PC detects everything from there, if it doesn't your port might be damaged.

2. Try going into Development and set USB debugging

by the way you should post such stuff in general not dev
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
1.yes,go into flash mode but pc doesn't detect my phone

2.already active...

so,the usb port is damaged....:(

[LG Optimus 2x] vladutz9:
are you shore that this will work? If i pas to windows will work tambien ? Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Try this.

1. Plug-in phone to PC.

2. Select reboot from power button and when it reboots, press & hold volume down key to software updating mode.

3. Your PC "should" detect and install the drivers, if nothing goes wrong.

4. Once all drivers installed, unplug from PC and pull battery.

I hope it works for u.

Good Luck :)
[LG Optimus 2x] zeb crs:
I have the same problem. Under win 7 it does not detect my phone anymore.Running Slickx - G 5.0.It hasn't recognized it for a couple og revisions so I guess it not the Slickx's fault.

The usb connection works fine under cwm so there are no hw faults.

It has to be some windows usb error that mesesses up.
[LG Optimus 2x] TastyTorge:
same error here....cm7
[LG Optimus 2x] gasgasgas:
people should wonder how is that a lot of guys are having the same problem at the same time, I guess that all usb port got broken automagically

Windows is the worst operating system ever, try a linux live distro before wasting time sending it to assistance.
[LG Optimus 2x] fredmode01:
For some reason, I've been able to connect my phone via usb since friday evening.. I was able to charge it, but nothing more (and usb was working the day before !! charging AND transfering files !!)

Here's what worked for me:

download LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.2.exe

Now connect your phone with USB Debug Mode: ON (before connection)

Reboot in recovery, some drivers should be installed, but not all of them.. when you're asked if you want to search them elsewhere, say no

Usb still not working.. but it's close..

then launch LGUnitedMobileDriver(../..).exe

Usb still not working.. but it's closer..

deconnect and reconnect your phone.. some more drivers installation.. and..

Both sd cards reappereared for me !!

I trully hope this method is going to work with someone else
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
just to inform that i'm still waiting for LG....now 2 weeks have passed since I sent the phone for repair :(
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
on my work computer it depends on the usb ports i use for it.

only the ones directly from the mainboard (without hub) work.

my guess is port usb ports with insufficent power or so.
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
UPDATE:

LG fix the issue on my phone and sended it back to me today.

They said that they have repaired a broken electronic part...

Now work everything...
