The easiest way would be to look at the user agent string your web browser sends out. It is different than that of the browser on your handset.

Other than that, they really can't tell. They just guess based on usage.

I hope that's not all because my browsers are set with desktop user agent.
[LG Optimus 3D] rgunara:
Has anybody from Rogers been able to upgrade their firmware through the LG Mobile support tool. I am still on v10c and when i try updating it is giving a message that i cannot update my model
[LG Optimus 2x] L1qu1d:
Hello all!

I recently took advantage with a fido promotion they offered me the LG Optimus 2X for 49.99$ (used fido $) and I upgraded.

Now I managed to root it no problem using the SuperOneClick program, and it works great.

Now I wanted to ask, the phone feels bulky, no not he physical part just the os. It seems to be preloaded with some of the fido apps and the gui when swipping panels or screens from side to side feels lagged even with out any widgets running.

Some of my questions:

1)Is the bootloader locked and does it matter?

2) would I benefit from flashing the rom to stock LG (unbranding it or w.e its called)

3) are there any good custom firmwares or roms (not sure what they are called even with the arc I'm new to droid)

4)I noticed its running 2.2.2 Froyo, with LG planning to move to 2.3.x Gingerbread, are there any massive improvements? Should I not get my hopes up for gingerbread?

5)This isn't a question its a pre Thank You for your answers, and patience with me:)
[LG Optimus 2x] punyategar:
1) nope, not locked. never had any bootloader hacking in here.

2) i personally like the stock rom especially V10d. versions between countries might differ. its just the lg launcher, it lags and of a lower version than lg opt black's one.

3) haven't used any costum rom. currently on leaked V20e european. cm7 and miui have problems with ussd codes, mounting flash drives (int and ext) on pc (linux, windows), not sure what else.

try to use costum roms based on stock roms. its basically "improvements".

4) ggb, sept or oct, who knows? improvements, im on leaked v20e. im not sure what's been improved from the froyo version. :p. things just work generally. i notice unmounting micro sd on ubuntu & win 7 is faster. unmounted in < 1 second. mounting still takes a while though. ggb is going to be released.

5) not exactly top gun in here. its just pretty basic. have fun.
[LG Optimus 2x] MikuSE610:
1. Don't bother with the bootloader. It doesn't prevent us from having fun.

2. Yeah, Unbranded roms are less bulky, they don't have ''too many bloatwares'' but unfortunately some bloatwares are really there.

3. Some leaked V20x roms are pretty good. I'm at CM7 it's great too.

4. Don't make your hopes high on 2.3 via LG.

5. You posted in the right section, so It's alright. :L
[LG Optimus 2x] L1qu1d:
Thank You both for the very detailed and easy to follow answers, my last question would be, when I switch between screens from right to left in the widget section (not sure what those screens are called, the home screen?) Should it feel, not so smooth? It doesn't really feel laggy, I can't quite explain it feels like its not "smoothed". Is this the style of swipe? Or is something hindering my LG?

Now, is it worth flashing it or will I still see that jittery swipe?

Again Thank You very much!
[LG Optimus 2x] Jan_Jaap:
I started flashing my LG 2 days ago and it's running a lot smoother now. Especially the lock screen, unflashed there is like 1-2 secs of lagg before the lockscreen pops up after pressing the power button but with custom roms there is no lagg at all.

So far I've upgraded to the latest baseband and tried a couple roms. I like BlazingDragon (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1053108) and Slick2x with a HTC Sense Theme

Theme = http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1091727

ROM = http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1214935

I think it's definately worth to flash this mobile because LG is lacking updates and I don't like their stock apps ;) Good luck!
[LG Optimus 2x] L1qu1d:
is it worth to Flash or should I just wait for LG's Gingerbread????
[LG Optimus 2x] huibuh0815:
Hi,

you don't have to flash your LG to get rid of the lazy, buggy launcher ;)

you should go to the market and try some other launchers like e.g. adw or go

i bought the adw ex and replaced the lg launcher with it - everything is really smooth and fast - even if i have only a small amount of ram left :-)

another thing i can recommend you is to root your device and remove all the stuff you'll never need (try: root uninstaller from the market) - even this step will improve reliability and smoothness.

in general: i tried different custom roms (CM7, MoDaCo, MIUI, Thanatos and so on)

- some are really fast and smooth (e.g. CM7) BUT features like e.g. a2dp will not work

- others are not that fast (e.g. Thanatos) BUT everything works as on stock

i will stick to the stock based ones, you will have to decide yourself :)

cheers,

huibuh0815
[LG Optimus 2x] italoxp:
1) Nope, it's not locked. We're free to have fun.

2) Yes, since the last Stock rom leaked (v20e) runs Gingerbread instead of Froyo, as the one that comes with the phone.

3) Yes, there are a lot of custom roms. You should try out for yourself to see which one you prefer, but I suggest you use MIUI (Google it =D)

4)Like I said above, we already have a stock running Gingerbread. And yes, we have performance improvements.

5)You're welcome =D
[LG Optimus 2x] L1qu1d:
Thank You guys so much! Very helpful and thorough forum!

My last Question is I managed to use Root explorer, and I wanted to delete somethings/ apps (icons and applications, widgets etc) from the folders and it's telling me that it is read only and that I'm not allowed?

I already rooted do I have to do something specific? Like I want to get rid of anything thats twitter or facebook or whats app cuz I dont use em

Thanks again!
[LG Optimus 2x] huibuh0815:
Hi,

I don't know the app root explorer but i think it's just showing you all the contents on your phone. If you want to go a safer way, try the app "root uninstaller" - the one with a yellow icon in the Google market.

Then you will be able to remove Widgets, sns (Facebook/MySpace/twitter) and other stuff you don't need.

By the way: you should install the app "superuser". This will grant other applications root (rights).

Hopefully that information helped you on your way :-)

Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] MikuSE610:
I suggest using Titanium backup for deleting apps and whatever. It's just one click. You can either freeze or just delete them.
[LG Optimus 2x] L1qu1d:
Thank You!

I already have superuser, it was installed when the phone was rooted:) but I will definitely give root uninstaller a try!
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
1/ Already answered :)

2/ No need to flash to do that, just install Titanium Backup and uninstall (or better freeze first to test if it is safe to remove them later) the bloatware easily... Titanium Backup is one of the very few app that must be bought....

3/ Two main streams for ROMs (speaking only of GB based ones): CyanogenMod (opensource, community maintained, AD2P doesn't work, HDMI is not perfect, no FM radio app, but HID bluetooth support very good, nightly updates, fast, overclocking built-in), and Gingerbread leaked ROM (non-opensource, no source at all, AD2P and FM radio and HDMI are working, HID bluetooth managing not good, the ROM I use is as fast as CM as it was heavily modded with specific kernel, specific ext4 filesystem,and few other add-ons see in developpment section).

4/ You can already have Gingerbread...See above

5/ You're welcome

Hi all,

I coudn't find a solution within the dev thread and I'm allowed start post in there :(

After isntalling that ROM I can't start WLAN. There es only the notice "Error" within the Wireless Settings. I have downloaded the ROM two times to check again if there is something wrong with the zip file but everything's in order.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

[Thrive General] scottschop:
Hello,

Kind of a newb, I'm going to be purchasing a Thrive, and I want to install an app that isn't approved for the device yet. Its called Navionics, its a marine charting application. I've read other forums and someone said they extracted the APK and side loaded on to the device and it worked great.

Now to the question, how do you do that?

Thanks in advance.
[Thrive General] dalepl:
You have to download it with a device that is approved and copy it off. The only other way is if someone will provide it to you.
[Thrive General] scottschop:
Ok, so I can download it to my vibrant, move it to the sd card, load the card in the thrive then launch it?
[Thrive General] dalepl:
When you select it, you you get a dialogue that says install. Install it and it should be added to your apps.

Anyone know of any other MIUI builds besides Trips? He did good, but core functionality is still missing from the ROM.

If there aren't any other attempts going on, then can another dev take on what seems to be a monumental challenge and give the community a proper MIUI build? Preferably one that doesn't need to be tweaked for the American devices as well?

I've been up and down miui.us and MIUIandroid and can't find any proper news on even a beta. Makes me wanna sell my phone and get a MT4G again lol.

Hi people.

I am having a strange problem related to phonecalls. It seams that I am loosing connection very often.

Its happening as a silenced phonecall. I cannot hear or talk to person on the line and vice versa...

Sometimes the call stops, sometimes not...

I am using LeeDroid latest release 3.1.0 with the newest kernel 3.3.0 and with the radio 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M.

I am living in Serbia, and I suspect that the radio installed on my Sensation is not proper for my location.

Any clues.

Wirelessly. What is the fastest way folks have figured out how to do this short of removing the memory card and putting it into your PC?

Tried emailing ....... Attachments too large....

Seems like Android still hasn't figured out a fast efficient way to get photo's from the phone to your desktop...

sucks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Plug your phone into your computer and select mass storage on your phone. Then access your phone on your computer and your photos from your camera should be in the DCIM folder.

Try to Google your question and you will find many pages that will help with your problem.

http://www.wirefly.com/learn/how-to/how-to-transfer-files-and-music-to-an-android-phone-using-usb/

I said WIRELESSLY...

thanks anyway.

I also said FASTEST....

Also Google+ limits you to 8 pics...

Also..tried Picassa too... SLOOOOOOOOW

The problem here is that despite having 4G on this thing...photo transfer wirelessly is still obscenely slow.

Selected 10 pics from my gallery to upload to Google Docs at 10:45am......over an hour later and it's just now finishing the 5th photo...

You did not say wirelessly originally . You should GTFO if you can't be friendly to people who try and help you with questions that you should be searching for on your own anyway.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fluidj:
Had you left the "you should try Google first" out of your reply, I would have considered it a fairly friendly/helpful response.

[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
This part of your post indicated to me that you were under the impression that there was no way to transfer photos in a fast way in the Android OS. I was pointing out that there is a fast way to do this and that search would help. You also mentioned pulling your SD card out; you should almost never need to do this...
