[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v8code:
all android phones from I think 2.2 on came with hotspot so long as your phone isnt locked by the carrier. Most carriers remove it unless you pay for it so you either buy a sim free phone or flash a rom.

[HTC Desire S] gunstar3035:
So the Miui roms...it has grown on me. I think I love her...but time will tell.

But every time I press the bottom buttons...like home, back, etc...that damn haptic feedback haunts me...ruining my experience with her...

WAT UP WITH THAT???!

Please help me turn this off...its annoying and I hates it. Hates it long time :(
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
e too, couldn't quite figure where to switch it off in the settings...
[HTC Desire S] gunstar3035:
The worst part is I figured out how to turn it off like a week ago. Why can't I remember?? It must be buried within some menus :/

[Motorola Droid 3] Cameron6472:
I don't know if it's just my phone or if all Droid 3's are like this, but no matter what flashlight app I use, there's a delay (about 2-4 seconds) before the LED turns on. Also, the strobe function in some apps does not work with this phone. After a certain point, the flashing fails to speed up. It's maximum speed seems to be a 1/2 second delay between flashes. A friend of mine owns an HTC Desire (running CM7) and it turns on instantly and strobes correctly (pretty darn fast!). Any way to fix?
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
I'm pretty sure it's a software limitation somewhere, I have the exact same problem with the LED notification light, and when I ran CM7 on my droid 3, it helped a little, but not too much..

I have the same thing. And some apps don't work at all
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homeygomey:
Hey all, I’m pretty new to this, have been reading throughout this forum and others for weeks. I got a few things I would REALLY appreciate some help with.

I have a SE ARC lt15A running 2.3.3 with 3.0.1.a.0.145 firmware. (I’m in Canada, phone is with Rogers) I bought it locked and unlocked it as I used it for a recent trip to europe no problem there.

It seems very slow like when I press the button for my contacts it takes about 5 seconds to open, so this brings me to where I am now, I’d like to put cyanogenmod on it and get rid of all the pre-loaded stuff.

Do I need to update the firmware before I put on cyanogenmod?

If so I can’t seem to get FastBoot to recognize phone.

But I can get Wotanserver to recognize my phone, there are different firmwares but none from Canada, can I use another region firmware on my phone and have it still work on with my carrier?

I don’t know if this matters but I was trying to flash firmware earlier and phone stopped working, was able to restore it with SEUS, can that lock my phone again?

Could be that i missed a thread that answers my questions, if so would appreciated being pointed in right direction.

Thanks again
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hunteres:
mate i have the same issue. the thing is that once we (you) bought the phone locked the bootloader is locked and it cant acces fastboot - even if u got the unlocking code and even if uwill flash debranded firmware. there is no way to do so now. all u can do is root it and get rid of some bloatware. - yes root it without unlocking the bootloader. check out android dev section and DOOM'S version for windows! perfect and easy.

thats the only thing u can do so far - the same as me. just wait.

thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] homeygomey:
What's doom's version for windows? Can you point me to it? Is it better/easier to use than Gingerbreak?

Also can i update the firmware with a different region without screwing up my phone/provider? Is it possible to get 2.3.4 on a branded phone or do i have to wait for SE to release it for my region?

Make a backup of your ROM with PC Companion or Update Service then flash the latest firmware and root.

You can flash any arc firmware onto any arc.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] *wishlist*:
I was surprised how perfect the fit was so I had to post. No interference with any buttons. Not loose or tight at all. Best of all, IMO, no bulkiness. This forum has been very great in helping me decide on accessories for my new phone. Don't know if there is a way to get it by itself, but hope it can help. I am not allowed to post pictures in this forum yet but I posted them on PPCGeeks Epic Touch 4G Accessories forum. Will update this post with pics once I am allowed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aquaholik:
Yes, it fits perfectly with tpu case on or probably any case that is not too thick. I like it so much I ordered several to mount it at home and at work using the suction cup and disk. I got the $5 on Ebay that has all the mounting option. Without the phone and just the vent mount, it doesn't block the vent much either and it is easily removable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KaliS-Pugilist:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ayman86:
awesome fine. i, too, have the 255w. though i use the dash mount. so its the perfect find for me, since thats what i wanted. gonna try it out.

[LG Optimus 2x] steelfractal:
Would you buy lg again if there where to update the O2X GB/ICS within 2/3 month's
[LG Optimus 2x] ULJ:
If ICS within 3 months. Then maybe.

But I don't think that ICS will come at all.
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
No, never again.

Not even a quick update to ICS would make me consider LG again.

I bought 2 O2x the day they were released, with an initial promise of gingerbread at release. It has since taken them almost 1 year to release gingerbread and during all this time I have furthermore had a product that beside lacking a promised gingerbread also has been fundamentally defective beyond repair - namely being cursed with random rebooting and many bsod's dayli, and a defective implementation of the operating system causing various other operational issues such as lag, memory leaks etc. which havent been fixed with the froyo updates that has been released.

I usually replace all my mobile technology atleast once a year, so basically I have had a full year paying for 2 phones which never got to the state of operational ability which it should have been in before ever being released as a product. Paying full premium price for a product that was never more than an alpha product, and a product which because of this also reduced its new sale value to half and its resale value to 1/4 of the price I paied - and having the frustration of owning a product that never even made normal production value during its normal lifetime with me.

So no matter what LG might do in the future they cannot make up for the loss I made during this year, both in terms of usability value, frustration and finansial loss.

For me, this means never LG product again in any form or shape, ever.
[LG Optimus 2x] rjpa123:
No. No. No.

Not, because LG don't keep their high-end mobile phone update schedules.

Not, because LG is constantly one step behind in terms of android version releases.

Not, because LG software development teams are literally inadequate.

Yes, LG mobile phones are the first to "dual-core".

Yes, LG mobile phones are the first to "3D".

Unfortunately, their post-sales support is pitiful.

I do not forget the fact that my 2X was the most expensive android device on the market when I bought it. I spent my hard-earned money to buy the current flagship android device and I deserve better post-sales support from LG.

If it not for Paul Obrien, XDA, Cyanomod and a few other gifted contributors to the Android dream, I would have turned into a Mango or an Apple by now.

LG's public relations (or lack thereof) is even worse.

Yesterday, I read "No ICS for 2X".

Today I read "Maybe, we're still testing and also depend on partners".

Tomorrow I will (probably) read "The 2X sales do not justify the R&D for an ICS port".

I am (probably) not alone in saying LG sells high-end hardware with low-end support.

I will continue to invest my two cents on Android and open technologies.

Definitely not LG.
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:
Yes, as long they keep their bootloaders open...
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
probably not, unless they radically change their support and strategy.

i dont have any hardware problems with my device but from what i read i might just got lucky.

if it was not for xda i would probably have sold that thing after a week because with the original rom its almost as slow as my old wildfire... and i got a new device to get a bit more speed.

however im running cm for about a hundred builds now, there were some frustrating times but now im happy with the performance and stability that this rom brought to my device. thanks to all the developers for the huge effort and nerves of steel:)
[LG Optimus 2x] markop90:
Another high-end device? No more.

Low/mid-end device? Yes.
[LG Optimus 2x] orlox:
well, optimus 2x is a high end device with a low/mid price.

Yes I would buy lg again if theyll have open boot and low price but never on launch day again :)
[LG Optimus 2x] helldroid04:
YES!

as long as XDA lives! ^_^
[LG Optimus 2x] blakki73:
Yes, but i will not suggest it to nobody. It's a brand for who wants to radically mod his phone.

Inviato dal mio LG-P990 usando Tapatalk
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I would. This is their first major phone and they're still getting used to it all I think.

A lot of people ran with the whole never again Samsung thing, and look at them now, they got it sorted and everyone loves their phones and speed of updates.

I'm sure LG will get it right in the future.

Edit: Within 3 months? No, I will still have the O2X then I'm sure. I'm not rich enough to swap £400+ devices at will.
[LG Optimus 2x] rottenpenguin:
Maybe, but not so early. I would buy it only say 3 months after launch, when there will be enough feedback on the internet to assess all its bugs and hardware defects. And if I was to decide between two comparable phones, I would definitely not choose LG.
[LG Optimus 2x] brezzo:
Only if the device has decent custom roms, because the LG software is pretty rubbish imo.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
Well, LG has struggled alot but I still do think nvidia plays some part in this.

For a while I felt LG was treating customers like a baby was treating dipers.

Edit: Maybe I will buy lg again if they can turn everything around. They should get a second chance like everybody else.
[LG Optimus 2x] Zlatan_61:
Like somebody said, I wouldnt buy an LG on release for the full price, but I would buy one if it had a lower price than other comparable phones.

For example, I bought the O2X in August for 60% of the price of a SGS II (O2X was 3100 SEK, SGS II around 4500-5000).

If I were buying a top of the line Android for the full price (shortly after release), I'd go with Samsung or the Nexus (not a big HTC fan).
[LG Optimus 2x] kemmo123:
i started flashing rom's on my xperia x10, i did my research and bought the optimus 2x outright as an upgrade. it was so cheap for a dual core handset, and with the knowledge that i would root and flash cm7 strait away i am still very happy with the purchase. that being said if i was not a root user i would have thrown it through lg's front door ages ago. im still not sure why people complain about this phone, when most of us here on xda use custom firmware anyway. who cares about lg, the tireless efforts of all the dev's here mean that we can have a truly personalized phone without being owned or restricted by google alone. it makes me pitty iphone user's all the more... cheer up folks, the O2X is pretty sweet...
[LG Optimus 2x] Supupa:
story of my life.

no seriously, i did actually have the x10 as my last phone and got my O2X for a bargain :D
[LG Optimus 2x] droweed:
I'd buy again if they keep their word and provide a timely update to ics, if not, screw them, I still have cm and other custom roms :)
[LG Optimus 2x] omiblack:
i will.

Open bootloader, no warranty void for root, great prices?

Who can give me that?
[LG Optimus 2x] mooondark:
I will if they put ICS in a decent time ...
[LG Optimus 2x] Shadowchaz:
If the phone hadn't been a bit buggy out of the box i never would have found xda... :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] BUFUMAN:
Never again fu LG!

fu LG support!

fu promises all the fu ing time!

[LG Optimus 2x] Ph4nt0m_:
This is my 3rd android phone and I like it very much. Before that I had HTC Hero and Samsung Galaxy S.

LG doesnt have the best support for sure, but HTC isn't much better and I don't like their sense at all :) Then there is Samsung... Just remember how much time they needed to get first S to work as it should... Yes there are differences in generations of all 3 phones but in some views I can compare them. In general I have the best experience with 2X if I compare the phones as I bought them (out of the box). Then there is huge difference in built quality... And samsung is far far behind of all competition. I can say that there are better chipsets in LG. GPS and WiFi is much better on 2X and I believe Samsung didn't make much progress here.

One more thing, is 1Gb of RAM and 1.2 Ghz CPU (S2) really worth 200€ more? I wouldn't say so. If you are one "benchmark maniac", overclock this phone to 1.2 Ghz and see where it leaves overpriced S ;)

I would say support is the only "bad" thing about LG. But hey, if you are XDA user, you have modified your phone for sure ;)

I am sure I forgot some things but I think I made my point...

So at the end, I would by LG again.

I apologize for grammar mistakes but you should all understand what I want to say :)

Restoring S-ON and HBOOT 1.02 firmware with the restoration of the American

Liberty_downgrade.img in the fastboot.zip

Install the driver fastboot

Liberty_downgrade.img image is complete, and nothing more needs to be done!

1) Copy of the archive folder fastboot, such as the root of drive C: \

2) Run cmd and type:

cd C:\fastboot

3) After the return to the default firmware from backup, or in case of emergency swing RUU from HTC Aria and install (Warning: This information will be deleted!)

4) Enter the hboot and switch mode fastboot, before connecting to your PC via USB cable.

5) Enter:

fastboot flash hboot liberty_downgrade.img

and press Enter

With the device, do not do anything! Do not reboot, not disconnected from the PC!

6) Run the RUU again from HTC Aria. At the end of the installer will complain about the error device ID, you can now go in and admire HBOOT labeled S-ON and release HBOOT 1.02

No, but I know how to remove those.

High level, not for noobs, and certainly not step by step noobs will look for:

install cwm

update the mainver in the misc partition to 1.11.111.1 from cwm (dump/hex edit, reflash required)

back up the current ROM with cwm

relock the bootloader

make a goldcard

flash an aria RUU with a 1.02.1002 hboot.

run revolutionary

Hi there,

I have a HTC Aria with Hboot 0.57 and S-ON. I rooted this a while ago and I've been running the Liberated Aria ROMS 2.1 and 2.2.

I want to take S-OFF, but it seems like the only way available is for me to install the official ROM update from AT&T and then use Revolutionary to re-root it and take S-OFF.

Can I use this method for going to Hboot 1.02 and the AT&T official update? and then use revolutionary?

If not, what should I do? (also I have difficulties accessing a windows computer, I primarily use GNU/Linux. If there are instructions for it, that would be swell... I know revolutionary has a linux version, so all is good there).

Thanks

Andres
[HTC Aria Android Development] drumist:
No, you should not use the method described in this thread. Unrevoked does not modify the HBOOT or give you S-OFF, so the instructions in this thread do not apply to you.

To update to HBOOT 1.02, the only thing you need to do is run the RUU to update your phone. Since the RUU is only available as a Windows executable, you can use this alternative method to install it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18541475&postcount=145 . This will erase all your settings from the device, so make a Nandroid backup first if you want to save them.

Once you have completed those steps, you can then use Revolutionary on your device. If you made a backup, you can restore it after Clockworkmod is reinstalled.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zeubea:
