[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I decided to try to update to GB because my G2X rebooted while on the charger, clock night mode turns off and the screen locks, and wifi is ok but resets sometimes. My phone is stock 2.2 with stock recovery but rooted.

I turned off all programs on my Windows 7 32 bit laptop, turned off anti virus and turned off Windows firewall. The updater ran ok, checked the phone environment and downloaded the update. Then at 4% when the phone is supposed to download into software update mode, it just sat there staying in Android. After the update failed and it told me to remove the cable and remove battery, etc., I just shutdown the phone, did a battery pull and turned the phone back on. I then canceled the update.

My phone booted back into Android no problem. I tried to boot into recovery using Quickboot but that just rebooted the phone back into Android. My questions are as follows:

1. Did the update change anything on the phone or did it fail before attempting to change anything?

2. Why did it fail to boot into software update mode? Do I need to try another USB port or another computer?

3. Should I use the alternate method on a Windows XP machine that people use when their phone is soft bricked?

4. Should I just install CWM recovery and use the pre-rooted zip of GB with the old baseband?

5. Or should I just forego the update for now and see if another update is released?

Try reinstalling everything, and restarting your computer. It worked just fine on Windows 7 Ultimate x86, and x64.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skye206:
My update went the same way but everytime I retried it got a little further so I just retried it over and over till I hit 100 percent
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I just tried to run the LG update program on my XP machine but I got a runtime error (see attached). Anybody know what this means and how to fix it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Does anyone know why it just sits there on 4% and never boots into the software update mode? Can I just run it and then when it fails manually boot into software update mode? Or is that risking a brick?

Finally got it updated

Used Windows 7 32bit.

The update progressed very scarily.

I downloaded the drivers and reinstalled them directly from the update program. I then used a different USB port then my previous attempt, unplugged all other USB devices, and shutdown everything running on the computer I could including Avast andti-virus and the Windows Firewall. This time when I plugged the G2X into my computer a lot more devices installed than last time (first time only 2 devices were installed, this time about 8 to 10).

During the first download of the firmware I canceled it because I realized I left the micro sd card in the phone and the instructions on the website say to remove the card. Then I also decided to unroot the phone and remove all programs that require root access. Since the phone would be unrooted after an update I decided I didn't want superuser in the system if I couldn't use it, and after the update I would be unable to remove it since the phone would not be rooted.

Then I ran the program again and this time the phone booted into software update mode. It started pushing the update to the phone and at 5% the phone disconnects from the computer and reconnects (does this three times during the update) but the software doesn't see the phone and tells me to unplug the USB cable, remove the battery, reinsert the battery and turn the phone back on. But I heard the computer reconnect to the phone so I decided I would just remove the cable and reinsert it. This worked and the update started over again. This time it went past 5% and then reset the phone connection again at 46%. It then slowly completed the update resetting one more time at 76% and when it reconnected it went back to 75% but then progressed to 100% and rebooted the phone.

It now has an updated baseband and Gingerbread 2.3.3. I am leaving it unrooted for now and just use it stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
I do! It's installing one of the THREE usb drivers that it installs over the course of the upgrade. Mine got stuck at 4% for just a second (at which point I about **** my pants), but then I saw a Win7 notification pop up that it had just installed a USB driver, and then it proceeded to do the update.

So maybe the failure mode is the LG updater not being able to install a USB driver?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brdma:
Is there any significant reason to update to get the newest baseband and then flash CM7? Or is there no benefit from the new baseband?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
July 15, 2011 baseband has more reliable wifi and much better GPS lock. After the scares of getting mine updated finally, my G2X has had no issues in the 30+ hours since the update. No reboots on charger, no sleep of death and everything is working as it should.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dive_junkie76:
I have been trying to delete photos on my tab all day and unsuccessfully doing it. I have heard doing it from Google and Picasa but I don't upload my photos on there. I have long pressed on the photo and it doesn't give me an option to delete it just to select and ok with the check mark in the top. None of the photos were taken from the tab but were imported via bluetooth. I can't even delete screenshots. Anyone else have issues with this or know how to fix it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jye75:
So long pressing doesn't give you a trashcan icon at the top right of the screen? (just to the left of the menu dropdown for rotating and cropping)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srfslr:
long press the photo, see the trashcan at the top right, tap the trashcan, it will ask you to confirm delete. You don't drag it to the trashcan, you tap it. Took me a couple tries to realize that.

Dear All,

I have recently got a new gts2. This is my first time using and Android phone. So may be you can guess that I am pretty naive and amateur in terms of all the technical stuff.

I have some questions that I would like someone to answer. (Although the questions might be very silly and simple for some).

What is lightening rom?

Should I flash or stay on what I have

How do I change to lightening rom (the procedure)

Which one is the best

What is Kernel and can I flash any kernel?

my android version is 2.3.3

kernel is 2.6.35.7 - i9100xxwkdd (dont know if this helps)

gingerbread.jpkg2

A detail reply would be really appreciated.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Theonew:
1. The name of the rom. Called this because it is claimed to be fast as lightening.

2. If you're satisfied with it, then stay. If not, then change.

3. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1095274

4. No answer. Reason: Different people have different opinions/preferences. I may not like one which you may like.

5. Did a quick search and found this: "An operating system kernel is the piece or pieces of software that is responsible for servicing resource requests from applications and the management of resources. A kernel has facilities to receive resource requests and grant access to resources such as allocating space for a new file or creating a network connection. To generalize, kernels use a system call (or syscall) interface to handshake with applications."

No you cannot flash any kernel. You have to flash a kernel made specifically for your device.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Whitechapel420:
Hey guys,

So over the weekend I hacked my original Droid and put Cyanogenmod 7 on it (the stable one). Now I'm trying to get the WiFi Tether app working. I downloaded and installed the WiFi Tether beta found off the Google site (I can't post a direct link since I dont have the 8 post requirement). I set up the SSID name and a WEP password, but it's not broadcasting. Neither me nor my roommate can see it. I even tried connecting to it manually through my laptop just incase the SSID wasn't being broadcasted for whatever reason, but no luck there. I looked through the settings and it literally looks like there isn't much to set up. I was wondering why this is happening? I'm rooted.

When I pressed edit under the menu, then under settings and selected "(Re)-Install binaries/configs", I received the following error: "Couldn't install file - /data/data/com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether/bin/dnsmasq!" I fixed it by stopping the tether and then clicking it again, it said the install was successful. I'm on a Windows 7 machine, my roommate is on a Mac. Neither of us could see the SSID being broadcast even after I installed the binaries/configs.

Someone recommended I try Barnacle. I did, and same result. No errors or red flags, says it's broadcasting, and neither of us can see it. I hardly doubt this is an operating system issue, I believe something's not going right in the apps.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] itchykingkong:
Hello Guys

I have a problem outlined in this thread, however nobody seems to know the solution to it.

I've gone through some other treads on difference devices and one thread suggested to replace the sim card with a new one. So i went to the 3Vodaphone store and had the SIM replaced, however the same problem still exist.

I called up 3's tech support and was told imported phones are not supported.

so I am thinking it might be the radio, which is causing the "3" network to reject connections to the Flyer, but! my flyer recognise telstra, optus and vodaphone networks just fine. I want to try different radios to see if i could get my Flyer to work on "3"

i would really appreciate if someone could enlighten me on whats involved to flash a new radio on to the flyer ?

and my questions are :

1) how to identify RUUs from the file name ?

e.g. RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_HK_CHT_Wifi_2.27.1302.31_Radio_ 20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_205140_si gned

is this RUU Wifi only ? or 3G as well ?

what about

RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.23.405.3_R_Radio_20.3504.30.08 9BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204108_signed

what does WWE stands for ?

2) what tools and processes are needed to flash a different radio specifically for the Flyer ?

Regards

Steve

[Off-topic] chester04:
So Apple is suing the pants off of Samsung in Europe, in Australia and possibly everywhere else. That’s because it claims that (1) Samsung stole the look and technology of the iPhone for the highly successful Galaxy S II Android phones, and (2) Samsung stole the look and technology of the iPad for the rising tablet stars, the Galaxy Tab 10.1/8.1.

But that doesn’t stop the two from being the best of friends when it comes to other business matters.

Utilizing data from “teardown” research firm iSuppli, The Economist reports that the iPhone 4 is 26 percent Samsung. At least in terms of components. According to iSuppli’s reverse engineering data, Samsung supplies three key components for the iPhone 4: the flash memory ($26), DRAM memory ($11.60), and the applications processor ($8.08).

Apple doesn’t do any of its manufacturing, leaving the dirty work to its Asian partners. Manufacturers in fact earn just a pittance compared to what Apple earns, which is an estimated $368 per phone (!). Apparently, that money is tribute money for Apple’s design, marketing and engineering prowess.

So despite the lawsuits and legal wranglings, Apple needs Samsung, and vice versa.

The question now is who needs who even more?

Because the iPhone has captured over 19 percent of the global market, Apple is a lucrative partner for Samsung. On the other hand, few companies can deliver quality components in volume the way Samsung can, so Apple will be hard pressed to find another supplier who can fit the bill the way Samsung does.

Besides, Samsung’s components business unit is separate from its consumer electronics units. So they probably couldn’t care less about what the other is up to… unless the CEO steps in.
[Off-topic] majorpay:
You should qualify that with "for now." Once all these chip manufacturers like VIA (via HTC :)) and Samsung are done playing with Apple's lawsuit frenzy, I'd fully expect repercussions (especially if it hurts their stock price). Don't expect a board of directors to sit idly by while Apple (their customer) tries to crush their corporate value.

Two options:

1. Port the source of another kernel to work on gingerbread. May have more bugs.

2. Wait for HTC to release the source for their gingerbread kernel and we'll have a more stable base to build custom kernels. Chad already mentioned working on gingersense once the source is released.

Essentially after the source is released a custom kernel will be released soon after.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
this is a rom.zip that you flash in recovery to do this you press the power button and press reboot and then recovery...if your phone is off then you hold power and volume down to gte into hboot then recovery once in recovery you press wipe data and cache then you do this 3 times......then you press install zip from sdcard and you find Inc_Gingerbread_Official.zip and then you wait until it installs then you press back and then you press reboot recovery and youre done..no radio included just a regular rooted rom
