[Galaxy S II General] misterright321:
thanks i think :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] desire888:
OMG what an epic question!!

This is the first time I have laughed in 3 weeks. I laughed so hard I cried.

Thank you!

PS also thank you for asking this question. I never realised there was a hole there for a cord in the first place!
[Galaxy S II General] desire888:
Oh no!! My abs are sooooo sore from laughing!!

Maybe a line that Mr Chow could use in Hangover Part III !
[Galaxy S II General] unleashed12:
Epic question.Epic thread. Epic Responses.

Anyway, I believe he's talking about that hole that samsung made on top left side for lanyards and such. Aren't you supposed to pass the string through the hole once, make a loop, then pass the whole string through that loop and then its tied good?

If that helps at all or is even remotely close to what the guy asked, I'm happy to help.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] arvindm:
You made my day with that first sentence my friend :p
[Galaxy S II General] fred_up:
The idea is that you put the loop of the lanyard (string) through then feed the loop over the rest of the lanyard and then pull the lanyard till the loop goes down to a knot.

If as the OP says, it is too tight (give me 5 minutes to stop giggling) then a simple solution is to get a piece of thread, loop it through the lanyard and then feed the much thinner thread through the hole, and thus pull the lanyard through.
[Galaxy S II General] misterright321:
everybody thanks for the help and i'm glad that i make people laugh ;)
[Galaxy S II General] cue_32:
The subject alone made me laugh, the content is even better!!

Don't mind us OP, it's not that we're making fun of your english translation... but with a screen name like yours, you shouldn't have this problem AT ALL.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
You guys are just mean. OP, after sliding the loop through the external hole, you need to hook it around the little post that you can see in the pic you posted. When you put the battery cover back on it keeps the loop in place around the post.
[Galaxy S II General] commodoor:
@op

i think if you put it something like shown on the image it won't come of. I tried to get it oud but it's really hard. I'm not 100% sure if this is the way, but you can give it a try.

[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
If you look at your phone, it doesn't work that way.
[Galaxy S II General] commodoor:
How do you mean it doesn't work that way? I know how it usually been done but this one made me curious.
[Galaxy S II General] royadams91:
no hole is too small! :D
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung, in their never ending quest to be different, doesn't put two holes in the phone so that you can slide the loop through and knot it. Instead, they have a single hole and a peg on the inside of the phone that you slip the loop over. Why? Who knows.
[Galaxy S II General] Steffe2:
Guess they were jealous over Nokia doing it before them (Nokia 5800 had it too) :)
[Galaxy S II General] NatTheCat:
Its a better way really so you dont have a knot showing on the side of the phone. Quite simple really. I hope arkala dint help you tie it.
[Galaxy S II General] skibadee:
Every holes a goal :P
[Galaxy S II General] Gustopher:
This is an extremely juvenile thread - shame on you all for being so childish.

Of course, none of this would have happened if Samsung had made a sensible attachment - say a standard frottaging pin connected to a pair of felching loops bosomed off into into a standard offset flange-mating.
[Galaxy S II General] daraj:
Been trying since yesterday.... Its actually not bad...

Pics later.. :D:D
[Galaxy S II General] desire888:
Obviously the designers at Samsung have never tried the other hole ;-) lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] beast6228:
Well I ordered a G2X the other day and finally I received it. It came with Gingerbread 2.3.3 from the factory. (worked flawlessly) Keep reading.

After a couple days I wanted to try out CM7 on it. So, I rooted the phone by using NVflash and doing all that good stuff, then I flashed the phone with (Gingerbread OTA 2.3.3 Rooted flashable zip v1.0.0) I couldn't get root with SuperOneClick so that was my only option. Well I got root and that's when the fun started.

I installed CM7 on it, seemed to run fine, looked fine. But simple me, I wanted to go back to Plane jane 2.3.3 So, I did all the usual stuff (backing up, wiping data, formatting caches), then I ran OneClickRecoveryFlasher...and restored the phone with LG-P999-V10f.zip (supposedly a stock flash for 2.2.2)

well it all seemed to work fine apon finishing. It booted fine, ran ok. However now I have some really bad problems. The major one is that my wifi doesn't work worth a damn now, the connection is highly intermittent. I can't use the market to download apps because it dies out often, along with anything else network related. (browsing works 5% of the time) You catch my drift. My other android phones have no trouble with anything. Now here where it gets weird, I supposedly restored my phone back to stock. However, the phone reports a proper android version 2.2.2 which is what I flashed it to. However it shows kernel 2.6.32.9 Baseband is July 15th 2011. When I use LG's phone update tool it says I am running V21E which is Gingerbread 2.3.3 ...but that's not true because it is actually 2.2.2

I have no clue what to do, I am stuck. I just want to either have a stock G2X running either 2.2.2 or 2.3.3
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
You are probably going to have use Xboarders ROM then flash the unroot.zip he has in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158513.

See if that works to get you back to 2.3.3 completely stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
It says that because it checks the baseband to see how recent it was, that's why it thinks you're on v21e.

As of now, there's no way to flash back to the old baseband, since people don't include the baseband in their ROMs, as that can cause a whole host of problems. The solution is to do exactly what tidewaterns said, that just gives you a little extra background info.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] beast6228:
I am going to give this a try and see what happens, I will post results. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] beast6228:
Well I tried the slimmed down version of Xboarders's rom and it seems to be working well so far. I originally installed his Stock OTA rom and that's when I started having problems. Oh well. thanks guys for all the help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Crash course about root and roms: Superoneclick roots the rom you have in place. Flashing xboarders rom didn't "give you root" for the other roms you flashed, it is simply one rom out of many that is pre-rooted by the dev who packaged it up. When you flash it you have a rom that is rooted. If you had flashed CM7 (another rom that provides root access to its system files) then you'd have had a different rom that was pre-rooted by its dev.

Are you catching what I'm saying? Flashing xboarders rom didn't "give you root" any more than CM7 "gave you root." Root is built in to those roms.

If you want to restore to an unrooted stock rom browse the threads in the development section. There are a couple of stock nandroid backups posted that you can restore via clockworkmod recovery and then you'll have a stock unrooted rom. You can even do that and still have clockworkmod recovery in case you want to flash a different rom to your phone again.

And PLEASE remember when flashing from one rom to a different rom, WIPE WIPE WIPE data, cache, dalvik cache, then flash rom, then fix permissions, then reboot. This will save you SO MANY headaches.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] beast6228:
I learned something new :) Thanks for the info. And yes, this last time when I installed, I wiped and formatted just about everything I could possibly do, including fix permissions..seemed to do the trick. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Sweet! If you're simply updating to a newer version of the same rom you can probably get away with just wiping cache and dalvik cache and then flashing. Its just when you switch to a totally different rom that you need to do a full wipe. Gives you a clean slate to start with.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] beast6228:
I'm curious about one thing though. What would I accomplish by using Nandroid and flashing a bin? I see there is a BIN_LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0.zip file that is available for this phone, although I have no clue on how to install Nandroid. Anyways, wouldn't flashing a BIN be the ultimate way to restore the G2X?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalesh:
I have an Xperia Arc, which was purchased from ebay.in. It was brand new and I had the native Android 2.3.2 when I got it. It didnt had any issues expect the battery draining problem, which was there with all phones.

Later when the official update to 2.3.3 became available in India, I upgraded it to 2.3.3 and the battery problem got resolved and I was really happy...After sometime, I noticed that it had become a bit slow. I thought I would do a factory reset. After factory reset, it became faster, but I had a new problem. The mobile phone started to turn off automatically by itself... If you keep it away for sometime or leave it in a bag, it will be off when I take it back.

I searched the forum and net for a solution. I came across some posts which asked to do another reset - to erase the content on SD and to do an update with SEUS. I did that also. Still the problem persists. Then I came across a post mentioning that it may be an issue with some apps. So I did another reset and erased all content on SD Card. And installed the OS again with SEUS. Still the problem persists.

I also tried keeping a piece of paper in between the battery and shell. That also didnt help...

If anyone can help me with a solution, please help....
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
I was going to say that it sounds like a loose battery but you've said that you've already tried putting a piece of paper there.

Not sure what could be the reason.
[HTC Desire S] stonedandhappy:
When I use CWM to back up my Rom does it back up any modifications that I have made.

I am running Virtuous Unity 1.31 but I have also installed the keyboard without arrows and Blue Unity theme.

Will these modifications stay in the backup or will I have to reinstall them again if I have to reinstall my Rom.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
yes,they will all stay

when you do a nandroid backup everything in your phone except your radio,hboot & recovery get saved

so if you restore your backup it is exactly like how it was when you made the backup
[HTC Desire S] stonedandhappy:
Good to know.

It's a pain in the ass having to reflash them on the 2 occasions I had to reinstall my rom.

[XPERIA X8 General] kimpoy1994:
You managed to paste it in your system folder so I'm assuming your phone is rooted and have recovery installed, so revert to your latest back-up via Xrecovery
[XPERIA X8 General] josip-k:
Or easly,copy launcher pro app to the same folder and delete w8 launcher.

if your X8 is rooted you could use adb from your pc... It's a command line but you cand do everything using it!

[LG Optimus 3D] Zirowe:
Hi, I had a bricked optimus 3d, after the installing the cwm recovery I couldn't turn it on, it would always go into the cwm recovery, no mater how I turned it on.

So I followed johnance17's unbrick guide on an xp pc, and I was able to flash the v10b fw.

Everything went like you described it: the counter reached the 100, I waited about 6minutes after that to turn it on, after that it would go straight to the android factory recovery (the one with the blue letters), and to phone won't boot up.

So I made a factory reset, than reboot, but nothint happened, then factory reset and wipe cache partition, than reboot, but I was still getting the recovery.

Then I made a factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe nv dynamic partition, and then reboot, but the phone instead of rebooting turned itself off.

I turned it on, but it said, that the battery was almost empty, and needs a recharge (strange, because it was fully charged).

I pluged it on the charger, and the sign of a totaly empty battery was showed.

I left it for a couple of hours and the hole night, but the empty battery sign was still there.

I tried to turn on the phone, it booted up normaly, everything was ok, the phone was working again, but the battery was completely empty.

I bought 2 original replacement batterys, but the result is still the same.

The phone is unbricked and operational if the charger is plughed in, when I unplugh the charger, the phone says, that the battery is empty, and turn itself off, and will not charge.

So, can someone help me what went wrong, why won't any battery work?

Why won't they charge?

I think that it has something to do with the last item I wiped, the nv dynamic partition, because after that the phone hasn't rebooted, but turned off.

What sould I do?

[LG Optimus 3D] freez76:
I was able to flash 10b without brick, but but had battery issues like you described. I thinks its a flaw in the build. I just installed King_3d_rom_v1.2 ROM which is in the developer section of these forums and it works well and has apparently solved my battery issues. ...probably worth a shot! (Good Luck!)
[LG Optimus 3D] dnardz:
I tried to flash King_3d_rom_v1.2 ROM but still, battery is still at zero(0) level.

@freez76, What ROM were you using before resolving your battery issue?
[LG Optimus 3D] freez76:
Did you do a full wipe before flashing (cache, data, dalvik)? I was on 10b when I was having battery problems. I am now on 10d with King and not only its my battery working again, but its better than it was on the May version of the stock ROM. ...I should also point out that I am on a developer version of the phone.
[LG Optimus 3D] modernbruce:
I have same problem to you. My first rom is LGP920-V08i-APR25-2011. I upgraded it with V10b_00.kdz. However the O3D turned off after booting. If I connect with USB cable, it is working well. but battery level is zero. Do you have same firmware at the first time???
[LG Optimus 3D] Zirowe:
Yepp, I've unbricked it by installing the v10b fw.

Tried the kingdom rom with wipeing everything, but still the same. :S
[LG Optimus 3D] modernbruce:
Have you backed up original rom??? I didn't..... So I didn't use o3d until now... If anyone has the old rom,. pls post it... Thanks.
[LG Optimus 3D] dnardz:
@freez76

Is the 10b fw you had with battery problem the one from Fabio's post? When you flashed it, did you wait for the O3D to restart itself after reaching Param 100 in kdz_updater?Would it be possible for you to upload a backup copy of your currently working ROM (King) and share it with us who are having battery problem?...Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus 3D] modernbruce:
@freez76

I hope so.... Pls Help us freez76... Thanks
[LG Optimus 3D] freez76:
@dnardz

Yes, it was the 10b update from fabio's thread, but the update was from gpx. From what I remember the update took awhile, but eventually completed normally. However, the battery seemed completely messed up after the first discharge.

I am attaching a link to my wiped fresh backup (which will need to be unzipped) of my o3d with KingROMv1.2 installed. Its the same restore backup method that gpx used. Just a note, I am using CWM 4.0.0.9. Please check your version and update if its not the same. I hope this helps....Good luck!

[LG Optimus 3D] dnardz:
Sad to say,it didn't work also on mine..:( i think i'll try to flash 10b again,..then apply the June update as Freez76 did, and then update using King's rom.otherwise we'l have to wait for an official flashing program ang maybe a gingerbread rom to come out.by the way im also using prototype model.
[LG Optimus 3D] jhonnyjhonny:
I am using prototype model too, and I got the same problem, I was stuck in cmv, after unbrink i am having problems with battery, but in my case, the problem is worse, i can't use the phone even with usb or using the charger, i will try other ways to solve this problem, i will post results later, if anyone has a suggestion, please, help us!!!!
[LG Optimus 3D] Zirowe:

Who can fix system app about battery??? Thank you...
[LG Optimus 3D] jhonnyjhonny:
Did anyone manage to solve this problem?

I read in other page that if you downgrade your phone to it's first rom, and then reflash to a new rom it could fix the problem, my problem is that the first rom was a v08a, and i can't find it anywhere. My o3d turns on with usb or charger, and when the android recognizes sd card, it freezes, I can only use KDZ to flash.

Can anyone try this?

Using Root Explorer: data>system> and delete file batterystats.bin and see if it works.

I will try this new v11a and see if it can help.

Please, someone help us!!!!
[LG Optimus 3D] dnardz:
Same here with me...can't find a fix for the battery NOT charging problem. I've flashed all .kdz and CWM ROMs available in this site but none of them helped...If we could only find a .kdz file of our first firmware like v08a, we might still be able to fix our phones.

[LG Optimus 3D] snellie1972:
I had a similar problem my phone was bricked after cwm recovery install so i could remove cwm recovery but then the phone was stuck on the firmware update screen.

So i sent the phone to a service center of LG but they sad to me water damage so i took the phone to a great guy who was telling me that he could fix but three or four weeks later he told me there was no way to fix the phone because the bootloader was gone.

So still i had a bricked phone and nothing to loose so i desided to give it one more try

I used the tread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1244490 with a normal USB cable and no it did not work i was getting the error ¨NO AP PATH FOUND¨ so i tried it again and it failed after 19%.

So i was stuck again and as i wildcard i tried to use the LG pc software to do an emergency recovery.The first time without the battery and the reovery stopped.

Then i put the battery in en started the recovery again then went to get a cup of koffie en watched some tv.

After awhile i went to look at the computer screen en de recovery was finiched but my phone had a black screen so i removed the usb cable and took the phone in my hand turned on the phone and layed it down at the cabinet then i saw the LG logo and i was inspected to see the firmware update screen again but no the phone started normal as it was brand new out off the store.

Using this method from LG i have no problems with the battery so you could try the do the recovery that way.

Hi To All !!!

I got the same problem without doing anything to my phone.... I just came back from work tried to set the phone on charge and it was not charging through the plug. The only way to charge it not is to connect it to my laptop through the usb to charge... I am so disappointed with LG because i just bought my O3D 5 days before.... :(
[LG Optimus 3D] Urabewe:
OK guys, are all of you able to charge through laptop but NOT wall charger? I had the SAME problem it wasn't the phone it was the charger itself, it would power the phone bit not charge it. I exchanged the charger (probably can't for free now cause of past 30 days) and all is fine now. If this is your problem then your phone is fine it is the charger. If you can't get the charger replaced by LG or your cell provider then go out and look for either a car charger with wall adapter or a new charger all together. Hope this helps.
