[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan450:
Getting into download with the battery in is not strange or mean something is broken, also I did not know that those little stickers were water markers...mine however look the same as yours?? Have you tried putting the phone and battery separately into a container of white rice for a day or 2?? its supposed to remove all extra water that may be present.

As a side note

When I'm on cm7 my pc doesn't see my phone but odin will still work...I'm using vista home edition using the samsung drivers...but I know some folks have had to use the generic samsung drivers or the ones used for the nexus s...but that's more for people on an mtd build...at this point I'm really just thinking out loud...maybe it will spark something to try..?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
those water mark indicators look normal. I believe they turn blue when wet.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmon77:
I didn't see anyone mention this, if I missed it I'm sorry, but I've heard that Odin does not play well with any usb cable other than the stock one that came with the phone. I don't know how to tell the difference, but that may be something to look into.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
I have used a Blackberry Usb cable and Odin saw my phone....

I have 7 64bit and the Samsung drivers work fine.

You said that when you connect the usb as a drive in the rom it works?

Also a trick that once worked for me is take a small peice of paper and fold it a few times to clean out the GUNK in the usb port on the phone.

it will come out looking black!

then pop the battery

plug the phone in to the usb

and hold volume down button until

then see if odin shows it.

Silly question i also thought while typing: Are you using a usb 2.0? I know that is a silly question but maybe try a different port, or a powered usb hub....Just some ideas good luck!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copkay:
Yup, those are water markers, but I've recently learned through some google-fu that they look that way when they're GOOD. I just assumed red Xs meant bad. :)

I've tried the generic Samsung drivers, haven't attempted the Nexus S drivers, though.

Gotcha. :) Thanks for that, good to know.

I have heard that there are differences in cables, and I've tried two, but neither are Samsung. I've ordered one off of Amazon that claims to be OEM, but I'm not exactly confident that's what I'll get. Will be worth trying for sure.

Yes, when plugged in through the ROM, it's recognized as a drive, Odin even pops up the yellow box. Download mode, not so much. I'll give the USB cleaning thing a try; I might have some alcohol tips or something around here.

And yeah, I've been sure to use USB 2.0 on both computers I tried it on.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, they're all very much appreciated. :)

I'm almost positive you need to use the samsung brand cable..at least I've seen warnings of it and never dared to try odin with my old blackberry cable although I still use it for car charging, but that's all...I would venture to say the cable is more than likely the culprit, or possibly a dirty usb connection like a previous post mentioned

Here is the lawsuit in full, as filed in California, with a case number assigned.

http://litigationuniverse.com/LGG2xClassAction.pdf

Some lucky XDA posters got to be quoted, I would guess they were contacted first, and won't be surprised by the Depo invitations, if this thing makes its way down pike. Pages 6-9. I think it gets tossed quickly FWIW

There is another thread which talks to this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16665913#post16665913

but I thought I should put up the original documents, so when you hear about it, you have a chance to see the actual thing. Remember if you own a G2x you are a member of the class.

Snippet of the brunt of the argument

NATURE OF THE ACTION

1. Plaintiff brings this action against defendant LG Electronics MobileComm

U.S.A., Inc. ("'LG" or "Defendant") on behalf of those who purchased an LG P999 G2X mobile phone.

2. A defect in the LG P999 G2X mobile phones causes the phones to randomly freeze, crash, or shut down completely, rendering the phones inoperable and not fit for their intended purpose. The LG P999 G2X mobile phone also suffers from a defect that results in its screen "bleeding," or causing backlight to leak from parts of the phone's screen.

3. Defendant knew or should have known of the defects prior to selling or placing the LG P999 G2X phones into the stream of commerce.

4. Defendant is aware of hundreds (if not thousands) of consumer reports and complaints about the power-off and screen bleeding defects plaguing these LG mobile phones.

5. The defects result in the inability of Plaintiff and Class Members to use their LG mobile phones for their intended purposes.

6. Defendant has harmed Plaintiffs and other Class Members throughout the country by manufacturing and selling defective mobile phones. LG has failed to remedy the harm consumers suffered and has earned substantial profits from its unlawful conduct.

mine works fine, this is probably people just installing bad apps or hacks. wait for a LF software fix, the phone is fine, or do what I did, use CM
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Tattooed5150:
Mine work just fine as well but there are very few who actually have a good working G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
I wonder how many people have signed up for this? I have two g2x that exhibit "sleep of death", and I work with a guy who has NEVER downloaded an app, and has had a few SOD. I paid some $ for this phone - I shouldn't have to load CM, and I want the features I bought to work (a2dp doesn't work on CM, if I loaded it). And oh yea, a phone (which doesn't work during SOD). This suit is not baseless, but I wonder if there are possible negative side effects of this suit...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
I thought Factory restore and/or a replacement battery were the fixes http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097395

I did do a factory restore on mine early on, when under 2.2 and that did seem to cool down the phone, some suggested that it did not recognize the battery as the correct size, and went about overcharging, and undercharging, essentially destroying the lithium battery quickly. Heat kills lithium batteries, more than anything. Next is running them down below 20%
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
What are you basing that statement off of? Would love to see some proof of that claim that very few people have working G2X phones.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Define working.

A version of Android freaturing FFC video chat with GTalk was released by Google before LG released the G2x. Five months later it's still not possible to use this function on what was supposed to be a flagship phone with both LG and Google's name on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
is there any nvidia based phone that has "real" working Gtalk featuring FFC video chat? What I meant for real is "not hacked" version.

Besides, I have working Vtok (Gtalk video chat client) with working FFC.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
That's just the thing. It was a very broad and far-reaching claim. Each person has there own expectations, and each person looks for different features. I don't think any one of us can just claim that most of the people who bought a G2X got a non-working phone. Mine works perfect for my everyday usage.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
I thought the Atrix had it? Was it on a hacked rom then?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
I assume it worked on the Nexus S FFC, but that's irrelevant now, we are only talking about LG in this case.

I purchased my G2x fully expecting it to support this video chat function without any hacks or work arounds.

I also expected the phone to have at least basic functionality right out of the box, I am unwilling to wait patiently for 3 or 4 months to get my $300 + phone working.

If there had been no threat of a lawsuit I believe we would still be waiting for an "update".

LG should not be let off the hook here, and Google should be watching carefully.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Nexus S is not using nvidia.

Was the g2x or even optimus 2x advertised to have a working Gtalk video?

Why all the hate and blame goes to LG and T-Mobile is off the hook?

Even the update was denied T-Mobile when LG has been doing their part.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Yea I noticed the Nvidia part after I posted. Not sure what possible difference that makes, LG is still the only party responsible for the end results.

If you actually believe the part in bold then we have zero common ground.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
Well, "working" to me would be: when my wife pulls her phone out of her purse, it is actively a phone; not a brick she has to pull the battery on, and wonder how many business calls she missed. I don't think that is too much to ask (who, me, bitter?).

I had seen the above quoted battery thread, and see that some people had +1 week success, to off to TMO chat I go...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
That is just silly stupid, certainly LG was going to release 2.3, they said by Summer, long before the lawsuit. You are like a protester wanting a best buy store to open up, and then when it does, thinking that you caused it.

If you look at the leaked official ROM video on youtube, it also was missing the camera,

which I do have a ***** about

, that was about 7 weeks before the release, so you can spare me the causal relationship of that, to the lawsuit too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Claim to believe whatever puts you in good graces with your client, but be careful... honesty with yourself is a skill that is easily unlearned if not practiced regularly.

Eventually there will either be a settlement in the public's favor or the process will result in full disclosure of facts and communications surrounding the case. I can wait out a chance to say I told you so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vapor311:
tom can attempt to defend lg all he wants. You only need to know one simple fact...until this class action lawsuit hit the table....we got nothing. Once it did...we got a mediocre update to resolve some issues. It isnt perfect it was rushed and not complete. LG recognized the level of boiling water they are in and acted promptly to try and calms the temp. Dont flatter yourself tom, your a fool talking out his backside. LG is in the wrong for a faulty product to some degree. Customer satisfaction is always the end result and there is a LARGE number of unsatisfied customers who wish to seek that satisfaction. So either you're one of them or you're not. Clearly the latter. Which means you have no business here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
There are a bunch of idiots who bought these phones without adult supervision, you likely being one. Anyone with issues claimed needed to simply return the phone and go to a different make and model. Even if they did a first return, they had plenty of time to cancel.

Babies cry, and those are customers too. One guy returned 4 phones because his customized ROMs failed where his stock ROMs worked. He is an example of a customer who is not satisfied.

My phone does have a resale value, and the lawsuit claims that every phone is defective, not a portion of them. So I am involved these this lawsuit is supposedly representing my interest and that of everyone who bought the phones. It maintains these were inherent defects. Beyond vapor you seem vacuous also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vapor311:
Sadly Tom my issue with you is you're one sided period. Every one of your post says look at me I'm right I'm right I'm right. Sadly you're wrong. A good portion of these phones have issues. All? No. Some are working fine. Do we have a solid number?no. LG is at fault for releasing a faulty product with knowledge of it's issues. They should and will be held liable. I am confident the wording of things will likely change. They usually do and get proposed again. LG will pay up,fix software and offer some compensation for those who truly do have issues and need it. So why are you fighting so hard against it? Yours is OK? Great. Then we don't really need your input. There are plenty who do have issues and do need LG to make things right and they aren't. The phone has a 1 year warranty they are NOT even honoring. So please Tom. If you don't have something to lend to this your just making waves in a boat that's going to go forth and make LG give redemption for releasing a faulty product with knowledge of its issues. If you doubt they did? Don't. This phone was released over seas the same issues reported and neglected there as well. LG needs to step up. Period.

G2x is cool but sucks more

I had to hard reset my phone day two after buying it. I lost a bunch of texts that I was transfering over to save since I had never owned a smart phone before I did this via sim. after I finished the last few texts I restarted the phone and got a boot loop. I had yet to even download one program.... grrrr. I lost very important texts to me as the phone did not copy to sim but moved to sim..... ever since I have not had to hard reset the phone but every single day it is locking up, stalling, freezing, rebooting on its own and just plain not being reliable as a phone. Sure it had light bleed I could care less it is very unnoticable during normal use. I was under the impresstion that after GB all the major issues I have and still have even after rooting and putting GB on it would be fixed. I would love to test out other roms but at this rate I would rather just get my money back from tmobile and go back to my old samsung Gravity .... sure it rebooted every now and then... maybe once a month... but fuc*en A man my G2X reboots every couple days and unlike the gravity it needs me to try and use it before it reboots. It could be locked up and frozen for an hour and not reboot but when I try to use it all of a sudden it does.... how do I know this because I use it as a clock too and have watch the time not update for an hour and then I get a text or a call and it reboots... making me miss my call and/or waiting for the damm slow boot process to finish.... Smart Phone huh... yeah right more like dumb phone. I would love to get my money back and go back to just minutes and text but because I believed LG and the GB update would fix things I am stuck with a pos phone that does not work any better with the GB update. I hope LG gets there as* sued off of them.

ps I only registered so I could add to this post

Can someone please tell me how to change the text color in the notifications bar on gb. Thanx in advance.
[Verizon Droid Charge] gunnermike:
systemUI.apk

status_bar.xml or status_bar_ongoing.xml
[Verizon Droid Charge] GrainOsand:
Im not sure if its been changed for gingerbread as the only GB port I have done is steel blue, which didnt require me to change notification text color.

With that said, try System/framework/framework-res.apk/res/layout/Status_bar_latest_event_content.xml

If you want to change color of browser and market downloads you need to edit a couple .apk's they are DownloadProvider.apk and SecDownloadProvider.apk each .apk contains one xml to edit.

Good luck.

So it looks like our Samsung phones may actually get much better now!!!

http://www.telecoms.com/31956/samsung-hires-android-hacker-cyanogen

Samsung hires Android hacker ‘Cyanogen’

While some device vendors are stockpiling patents, others are hunting down talent, as competition in the mobile handset space heats up. It was revealed this week that Samsung Mobile has hired one of the homebrew market’s most notorious and successful Android hackers, Steve ‘Cyanogen’ Kondik.

Kondik is best known as the creator of the CyanogenMod for Android, an after market customized firmware bringing new features and functionality to the Android platform.

There’s no information yet on whether Samsung is interested in CyanogenMod, or more in Kondik himself, but the programmer and hacker has said the move will allow him to use his talents in “the real world,” while development of CyanogenMod continues as usual.

The Cyanogen firmware caters to more than 40 different Android devices and brings such functionality as native theming, Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC), an OpenVPN client, USB tethering, and claims increased performance and reliability over official firmware releases. Kondik has on occasion received input from Google on the development of the platform and as of mid-July it had been downloaded and installed on more than half a million devices.

Hey Guys :D

I bought my sensation from Saudi Arabia, which makes it ARA I suppose?

So, now I have:

- Software Version: 1.34.45.1

- Android Version: 2.3.3

- Baseband Version: 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3

- Build Number (Don't think it's relevant anyways since it's the same as Soft. Ver.): 1.3.415.1 CL79935

So now I'm confused since I found 2 files with the same name but different sizes:

Ace Category: 378.67 MB

Pyramid Category: 105.89 MB

The thing is, I thought that I should use Pyramid, but it seems that the one that is mostly distributed online is the Ace one as it is pointed here:

RUU ARABIC_1.34.415.1

What do you think? Which one should I use? Or I shouldn't use any of those files? :D

If I install a wrong one though, will it continue, or give me an error? 'Cause I'm really confused by now :D

Thanks alot ;)

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
Ace its a completely different phone! The sensation is the htc pyramid. Flash the ace rom and you'll end up with nice little brick.

Thanks for your reply :D

my problem is, that both ace and pyramid have the same name which is:

They just have different sizes..

The one posted here:

Is the one available in ace category on shipped-roms.com while it is posted in the thread as a sensation RUU.

See why I'm confused? :D
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
HERE

The smaller file is NOT right, but generally you should go by the name of file, not necessarily the category it's in on that website. It was probably just uploaded to the wrong section. I don't use that site since coinflipper sold it. Its wack!
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Thank you, but this is the same one posted in ace category.. Are you sure I wont brick my phone? xD
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
I am confident, but use it or don't. Its the risk YOU take.
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Thanks alot :)

Just to know, if I install the wrong one, will it get bricked?
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
First of all that is the right download. Secondly since this is an ruu and not a zip file the install will simply fail if its wrong, but the possibility of a brick exists, as always. You've got to keep in mind that bricking can still happen when flashing the correct files too if the connection is interrupted or files are corrupted.
