[T-Mobile LG G2x] chisleu:
sensation is a POS with POS reception. Grip of death issues make wifi weak to unusable. skinny screen makes landscape the only way you can keyboard, but then wifi goes out.

Lots of great ideas put into something with ****ty implementation. My g2x has 2x the reception of my sensation. I'll never buy an HTC phone again.

EDIT: BTW, it got lower reception than our motorola cliq's, by 1-2 bars all the time, but if you picked it up, it lost another bar. Moto cliq would have 3-4 bars at my house, or my dad's house, where the sensation had 1-2, and if you picked it up, it became 0-1 causing dropped calls. Horrid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SNOWBALLLLL:
What kinds of problems have you guys encountered with the G2x? And is it true that it has more dev support than Sensation?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] saotua:
I don't have a Sensation but I came from Mytouch 4G, which is a great HTC phone and still wish if I could trade my G2X to get the MT4G. I got this G2x as a replacement for my MT4G (insurance) about 2 weeks ago and i went thru 4 times of exchange due to reboot, auto turn off problem. G2X forum doesn't have much dev support (you can always check and compare between forums to see).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1278780

Good luck with your choice.

btw, G2X doesn't have build-in LED, which is a big - for me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
If u plan on rooting, go with the g2x because it was my first android phone too and it was easier to start of with since it is easier to root. Sensation u can root but it has more steps to it. My phone only rebooted once.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Ohh btw if u use GPSa lot go with the sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SNOWBALLLLL:
Thankds for the info so far.

Is the screen bleed on the G2xs a common problem? What about the dust under the screen of the sensation?

EDIT: And what other androids should I consider other than the SG?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
+1 on this.

The G2x is an amazing phone, but it's going to be outdated pretty soon, sadly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SNOWBALLLLL:
Im trying to get a phone off craigslist for cheap. Found a couple HTCs and G2xs. Doubt there will be an Amaze when its released. Looks great though :O
[T-Mobile LG G2x] duglas:
I have a g2x and a Sensation. The Sensation has a bigger screen, g2x wins hands down everything else.. the Sensation does not even have reception at my house, G2x and even Mytouch 4G have 2 bars, G2x feels twice as fast and the battery lasts longer..

My only small beef is the buttons are in a different order on the G2x and I really love the HTC Sense lock screen and weather Widgets.

But to me the G2x is a better phone..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Coco hime:
Just a warning if you use bluetooth stereo for like your car or headphones, it'll only work on the G2x on roms based off the official 2.3.3 rom. So you won't be able to run CM7 or MIUI without losing bluetooth stereo support.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Man of La Mancha:
I love my G2x (mine has no problem), and the recent Gingerbread update seems to have solved issues in most case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
With the Galaxy S II's coming out to major carriers, and the Nexus Prime weeks away... I would wait.

But seems like you need a quick phone now.

I love my G2x. We have working CM7, MIUI, and lots of custom roms. Since the Sensation has been unlocked, I'm sure they are starting to pick up some stuff too.

Most people think the development has been slow, but we have LOTS of roms... the problem is that nothing new has come out to develop. We have the latest CM7 builds based on AOSP 2.3.5, we have the latest MIUI, and we have several stock-based roms. What more can you ask for?

New G2x's come with Gingerbread out of the box so they typically work better then the original outlook (boinked software). My cousin has a new stock GB G2x and has no issues with it (came from an iPhone 4). The Sensation also has/had some pretty major issues out of the box with their touch screen not being responsive and dust under the screen (hardware problems). I don't think you can fix a boinked Sensation with a bad touch screen sensor with custom software.

The G2x can be a beast if you want it to.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyleco:
I have a .mmc file for my carrier. Basically, it is all the settings of the phone such as MDM and MIN and all the 3g and MMS settings for my phone. It's supposed to be used by Samsung PST software, but when i hook my phone up to the computer in download mode, Samsung PST says Change to DM Mode, then after a few seconds, says "Failed to recognize device status in DM Mode". Flashing software using Samsung PST works, but this does not. I believe it is a problem with Samsung PST Software.

What I am wondering is if anyone is familiar with .mmc files for android. How can push this to my phone?

Software or command line, doesnt matter, I have access to windows or linux. I just need this on my phone. I am on a small local carrier and rooting my phone and flashing has deleted the info in the phone.

Taking it into my carrier is not an option as I have tried and they do not know how to fix it.

Can anyone help?

Suggestions of another section of the forum I could post this in where it might get some more attention/more knowlegable people on this subject.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kain144000:
'K, so'm new 2 android hacking, but I'd like 2 make a framework-res.apk that includes StarBurst's MotoBlur x-itions here, SAShady's CRT Off animation here, & Gingerbread's Overscroll & MotoBlur Orient8ion animations when they become available. How would I go about merging the MotoBlur x-itions w/ the CRT Off animation, as they're both framework-res.apk files? Also, where mite I extract Gingerbread's Overscroll & MotoBlur Orient8ion files, is it from a stock Gingerbread framework-res.apk & MotoBlur (possibly Photon 4G) framework-res.apk? &, how would I know which files 2 extract? Are there any particular s/w tools that I need?

Thnx.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
That's going to be a bit of work. I just went through the learning process of decompiling, modifying, and recompiling .apks myself. I don't have the most efficient method down yet, but I can get you started.

First up, are you using an odexed or deodexed ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kain144000:
Thnx 4 the help.

I'd really dig a link(s) to these resources. &, I'd b usin' the Stock ROM, which I'd imagine is odex'd.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
EDIT: Man do I feel foolish. I just typed out way more than I needed to, thinking framework-res.apk was odexed. *sigh*. Oh well, I guess I just started the tutorial I was thinking about posting.

This won't be too hard:

Pull your stock framework-res.apk from /system/framework/.

Gather the other modded .apks

Decompile each of the .apks (luckily framework-res.apk doesn't rely on other stuff, so decompiling is easier)

Drag the modified file(s) from one of the decompiled, modded .apks to the stock one overwriting the old file(s)

Repeat for each mod

Recompile the new uber-modded .apk

Push it back onto your phone

Decompiling

You're going to need Apk Manager for decompiling and recompiling.

Place the .apks you want to decompile in the 'to be modded' folder of Apk manager

Run the script in the Apk Manager folder

Enter 22 to 'Set Current Project'

Pick the .apk you want to decompile

Enter 9 to decompile (no dependencies)

Repeat 3-5 for each .apk

Recompiling

(In Apk Manager) Enter 22 to 'Set Current Project'

Enter 11 to compile

Enter y (this is a system app)

Enter y (I haven't been able to get it to work when I answer no here)

Follow the prompt and delete the files you've modified from the 'keep' folder

Go back to the command prompt and press a key to continue

As for actually finding the changes, you're on your own here. I guess you can look for files with different sizes/modified dates or try to search the forums to see if people mention what they had to change for the mod. If two mods change the same file, you're going to have to open the file and make both sets of changes then toss it into the .apk.

Pro tip: if you have Eclipse set up with the Android SDK, you can go to Window > Preferences > XML > XML Files > Editor and check "Split multiple attributes each on a new line" so that when you hit Ctrl+Shift+F while looking at the messy decompiled .xmls it will instantly format it into a more easily read form. <--This is why I love Eclipse

If you don't know how to push the file back into place, it's a bit of a pain without a modded boot.img that allows you to use 'adb remount'. Copy the .apk somewhere on your phone. From command prompt (with phone plugged in):

adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /wherever/your/file/is/framework-res.apk /system/framework-res.apk
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot

Unless you have CWM and know how to write/reuse an update.zip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kain144000:
Thnx, Sycobob. I'm just afraid that there'll be an overlap in overwritten files. But'll c.

&, what d'ya mean by upd8ing the archive, is it signing? Also, I'd thought all of the E4GT partitions were ext4. Didn't even activ8 my E4GT, 'cause'm still tryin' 2 get my TP2 repaired, so I can flip it. :) Maybe u can help me w/ another Q - I've been lookin' all ovr 4 info on android OS, &'ve been able 2 find what each partition is, using adb cmds, but cannot find, 4 the life of me!, a glossary of sorts on all of androids system files, a la "framework-res.apk is..." I really wanna get n2 android hacking/modding w/o havin' 2 use an app 2 make any & every change that I'd wanna make 2 the OS. Comin' from WiMo, I was very familiar w/ the registry, exploring & hacking it, but there's no real equivalent n android. Also, do go here & vote 4 my Brushed Aluminum Barely There Case with Kickstand suggestion. We're already n 9th place. Thnx again 4 ur help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sycobob:
System packages don't get signed. By updating, I mean dragging the file into the WinRAR archive which automatically replaces the existing file in the archive, therefor updating it.

All the partitions are ext4. This is where my newbishness shows, I have no idea why I have to use ext3. /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 isn't the correct path either, but it works. In one of ptfdmedics posts he uses the same options. If I use the 'correct' mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /system it doesn't work. *shrug*

Also, I just realized something I missed in my first post. If you modify an .xml the resources.arsc in the .apk needs to be regenerated. This is done when you decompile and recompile the package. I'll be editing my previous post to reflect this.

As far as a glossary, I have no idea where to find one. I would mind having access to something like that though. If you find something, please post it.

EDIT: don't worry too much about overlap. I'd imagine it'll be easy to find the changes you need to make, then you can just copy+paste the relevant lines. Pro tip: if you have Eclipse set up with the Android SDK, somewhere in Window > Preferences > XML > XML Files > Editor > Check "Split multiple attributes each on a new line" and when you hit Ctrl+Shift+F while looking at the messy decompiled .xmls it will instantly format it into a more easily read form. Adding this to previous post.

Hello

I have a Unlocked Alcatel ot-980 Android 2.1-update-1 mobile phone

The problem i am having is that the touchscreen dosent always work well actually most of the time. I have currently got it working somehow and has been for 2 days now but when i next charge it i dont know if it will still work. When i connect the charger the phone switches off then back on for a min then off again, and so on randomly. And sometimes this makes the touchscreen work for about 5 mins after charging but as i say i have got it working for a few days now! Ive opened up the phone thinking loose connection and thats not it everything looks fine!?! Also if it helps when connected via usb the phone does nothing apart from switch off. Im happy to open the phone and use a soldering iron im just unsure why its doing it?

Have tried:

opening up - loose connections

hard reset / reload

plugging headphones in and out quick (worked once)

plugging into charger (works sometimes)

plugging into usb (works sometimes)

I know the touchscreen itself is ok as when it does work its perfect and if i try and calibrate when screen doesnt work it doesnt register any touches.

BTW its resistive touch! and been like this 10 days after purchase :S

Thankyou!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PJ_DnB:
I can say that resistive touch is almost never good.

Try using that screen with a stylus..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rhyz:
I am currently using a stylus on the phone, im pretty sure theres a power problem with the phone what that problem is i dont know.

Im currently charging the phone and its doing what it should always do (show a battery meter charging) It hasnt done this basically since ive had the device! Very wierd i have a feeling problems are going to be ok for a little while before it goes silly again!

Thanks for the reply!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rhyz:
Well phone is charged and everything is good :o so not 100% i have a problem know! Well i know i do with the ammount of trouble but everything is good know ...

I want to root my phone, but from what I read, the XTC clip is for unlocking the sim card, that I simply called Verizon and they unlocked mine while I was on the phone with them.

So, back to what I want, Root, what do I need to accomplish this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ExNight:
You need more research. Xtc clip uses the sim card slot to obtain s-off through the hardware to allow you to install a rooted rom

xtc clip does radio s-off, the sim cable simulates an engineering sim. it just so happens that a result of that is full sim unlock as well.
