[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Yesterday was the worst day of my life. I arrived in Philly from Vegas after my birthday. Go to my truck and it will not start, after midnight so I decide to get room ($69.00 dive?) next to lot. I get up to face the music, go to Photon and I have $640.00 in Bank of America. Cool lets do this. Tow, few hours, starter is shot. $300 and some change. OK, put it on my card. Declined! Do that again. Declined!

I check my bank account again. -$6344.50!! WTH. I call them, they tell me Domestic Relations put $6900+ hold on my accounts for Child Support! They gave me a number to call and they have yet to return my call!! I needed to get home and find some papers as I wanteed to be ready. I took the $40.00 I just happen to have and took $25.00 train (2 hours) from Philly to Central PA. I get on train and plug in phone as I have been on it ALL day. I play with Laptop, put it away. Play with phone, put it away. 5 minutes from my destination, I decide to get ready.

I then did something I have been telling my daughter not to do for YEARS!!! Quit taking the phone in the bathroom and you would not keep drowning them!!! I forgot the Photon was in my pocket. I opened my belt and he came STRIGHT out!!! I tried to slap it back towards sink with no luck. I tried to grab it in the bowl but it kept going!

I physically just started to cry (everyone asked, I was too ashamed to tell them). I could not call anyone to get ride home, don't know their #! Took cab home to the tune of $15.00! (It was actually $19.00, he cut me some slack).

Get in the house to use internet. Although I had Comcast for 3 weeks, I had to regrister all my devices to use TV's and Wireless. 45 minutes later, I get them to send out e-mail to let everyone know I'm home.

I just filled out the claim form.........I feel lost and dumb. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Good to meet you, I am probably the biggest competition you have for the dumbest guy in the world. :D

My advice to you:

Buck up, **** happens, let it roll. ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] wisconsinated:
before you fill out a claim next time you drop your phone in water, try letting it sit without the back cover and battery in, in a bowl of uncooked rice, sometimes that does the trick to dry a phone out - i've heard at times the phone actually boots back up after a night in rice
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Then you can cook and eat the rice! See: Day better already.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gollyzila:
That gives a whole new meaning to dirty rice.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
No, you don't understand. I could not get TO the phone. It went stright down the toliet into tank below. There is/was only 2 ways to retreive that photon. Someone could attempt to shove my skinny black a** down that same hole into tub of s**t and pi**. OR Dismantal that rail car, remove the tank and cut it open. hence the tears of pain because I knew neither was an option! (But no one else can get that data either!)

Oh well, I pay $8.00 a month for the insurance and I'm anal about doing backups (3:00AM every Monday!) The only real downside, had SanDisk 32Gb Class 2. I might look for class 6 or faster if I hear good reviews!
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Sorry to hear that Man. Hopefully insurance comes through quickly so you can get a new phone and not have too many issues. And I've heard good things about the class 6 cards.
[Motorola Photon 4G] wisconsinated:
>< i bet your toilet never gets clogged
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
Legally, a bank can only put a hold on an account with a court judgment. Go to your bank and ask for the order. If they refuse to give you the order, they must revoke the hold (you must give them time to reproduce the order though, depending the state, its usually a few business days). If there is an order, it will say the exact judgment amount (the banks usually hold twice the amount the judgment requires) and who to pay it to.

Also, certain funds are exempt from any kind of judgment (varies from state to state) like social security, SSI, workmen's comp, etc. If you account contains those funds, they must release those funds (and only those funds) back to you.

Also, some states like New York have EIPA, a minimum account balance an account must have before a judgment can be used to hold it. In New York, that is minimum amount is 1740. Go find out if your state/county/city has any such laws (not all states do). If they do and you are under the minimum amount, ask the bank to immediately unhold your account and cite the specific minimum balance law.
[Motorola Photon 4G] deedscreen:
Oh my gosh. Wow. Yeah, I agree with xTMFxOffshore, dude if you don't have insurance now, get it. Lesson learned.

Sorry you had such a bad day.
[Motorola Photon 4G] radrian92:
So I was gonna shower last night and I put my clothes on top of the toilet and i wrapped my mopho with my shirt. After I forgot and I pulled my shirt and my photon went in the toilet :sniff: I quickly grabbed it and took the battery off. Pat dried it and left it over night in bag full of rice. 12hrs later after much prayer and luck it turned on and its running like new :cool:

Quick question: should I just keep the phone or should I go ahead and file an insurance claim? I've been wanting to cancel tep since I'm really careful of my phones :rolleyes:.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I'd run it for three or four days then see what happens. I had a similar issue with my old phone and ut worked for about two days then it died.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Ryan92394:
The moral of this story is dont stick your **** where it dont belong.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
My wife walked into the pool with her evo this summer. Bag of rice did not work cause the battery increased to about 2x its size. even with my battery I had no luck. I made her suffer with her old pre for a bit and when we ordered the ins replacement it arrived the next day (on a saturday no less).
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I heard (and seen) class12 cards, but I also here that, depending on what your doing, class6 or even 4 is faster than 12?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
OK, this is Jacked up and I'm still pissed. When I originally saw this Tuesday AM, I saw $6338.50 to Domestic Relations. When I called bank, they more or less told me exactly what you stated.

Today, I see 2 legal order fees, one for $100.00 and $135.00. That $6338.50 is now Debit/Hold 11/01 in a "Processing" status, meaning it will get released, likely monday night, after the required processing time has expired?

Im on the phone with them now. agh................
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
I am looking for a music player with a good graphical equalizer. I have yet to find one that works without flaws...

(Running MIUI ROM)

MIUI stock music player:

Sounds good, equalizer is satisfactory, but you can't tell it what folder to pull music from. It just reads the whole phone. It has a setting that you specify minimum file size for, but that's crap. Should be able to just tell it where to find music and only load that music... It also skips/cuts off etc A LOT!

PlayerPro:

This player has a really crappy equalizer. The only positive I can think of about this app is the ability to use SRS enhancement in HTC phones that have it. This one skips/cuts out music more than any other app I have tried. No matter what happens, screen turns off, like 5-20 rapid cutouts. Quality of playback is poor. Accessing certain features are a pain and needs to be able to be accessed from Menu button while in the player, not just the main screen. But the cutouts for anything happening to the phone, browsing for the next song, volume up/down. Minimizing, screen on off. Huge/a lot of cutouts in playback.

PowerAMP:

This was probably one of the better apps. Great equalizer, very direct navigation to whatever you need. But this player also suffers from the cutouts when locking/unlocking or interacting with the phone. This app does have that Buffer setting, but even set to huge (725ms) it still suffers from these cutouts. And the update that came out today.. well that just screwed it up even more...

UberMusic:

Smooth, looks pretty, can tell it's a complete rip from Zune so I know how to navigate it at least. Cutouts while navigating the phone weren't nearly as bad, or didn't happen. The problem with this app is that it doens't have an equalizer. I googled, and found out that Fede (many may know him from that scam app LPP) promised to implement an equalizer. That same dev also promised a re-write of LPP be the end of 2010 and look where LPP is at.. completely abandoned for this music app. With that history I won't buy his music app until the equalizer is implemented. But based on what he's shown with LPP I don't see that happening for 932750923 years.

WinAmp:

Loved it on my computers since middle school... But for the phone, the cut-outs are almost as bad as PlayerPro, and it also has a pretty crappy equalizer.

Anybody else know of a good/smooth music app, with no cutouts in music playback and a good equalizer?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
have you tried any of those one a Non MIUI rom? Reason I ask is that there is APP issues with any and all CM based roms including MIUI. Main reasin I ask is I do not have this problem with any of the music apps you mentioned, short of the MIUI as I have never used it and never will.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
I only used LeeDroid prior to flashing MIUI and the stock (Sense) player did everything I needed it to without problems.

I guess it's possible this is a MIUI problem. Such a shame... smoothest/fastest and most customizeable ROM I've ever had on a phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
IT has its good points i am sure, but until they stop crapping on everything android stands for I just cant bring myself to useing it. Sorry I couldnt be more help
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
I use powerAMP and have used prolly every rom made for the inspire. With a few exceptions. I don't have your issues. ./shrug

As for Your Miui claim, You have only used Leedriod and Miui. You may want to check out a few other roms. You claim fastest smoothest and have only tried two things.

Thats alot like claiming MCdonalds is the best berger when you have only tried MCdonalds and Burgerking.

Truthfully there are alot of burgers out there and you would be "missing" out.

FYI MIUI is not the fastest/smoothest.....lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
I used many ROMs on other devices. Tried MIUI back then and it was also the smoothest for me there, just couldn't deal with the facebook issues, the camera issues, the GPS issues etc etc it had at the time.

Can you recommend another ROM that's as small and fast/smooth as MIUI?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
Try Absolution. I too am an advocate for miui but flashed about 3 weeks ago and haven't gone back!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
If the reason really is due to MIUI being based on CM7, then I think this ROM would give me the same result, no?

I'm willing to give it a shot this weekend though. I don't see any screen shots in the thread for the ROM though, (and no place holders like I get from blocked content [at work, ha ha] like other pictures) could you post an SS of the notification pull down? I've grown to really like the 2 page system on MIUI...
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
I am currently using whats in my sig. And I don't have the issues you are having. With the music player. (power Amp)

Its also better, IMHO then MIUI. Its got just as many if not more customization options and you don't have to look at an IPHONE want-to-be interface.

I Also found Gingerbeast to be great and then Ninja. Granted I only like AOSP roms for the most part.

I have never had GPS or Facebook issues on any rom I have used. Can't say about the camera apps as I am not into pictures. Don't use it at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
Thanks tweaked.

So music playback is smooth/continues even when you lock/unlock or launch an app etc?

And can you tell me if the notification pulldown has the 2nd page for toggles?

Yea, I really did not like the iPhone wannabe launcher either, but I use an alternative launcher...
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
Was referring to smoothness, battery and overall experience. No prob here using proamp or mixzing. Coredroid also very good Rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] tweaked:
Sir, Download and flash Absolution. You will be amazed.

The pull down does not have the 2nd page for toggles. But you can add as many toggles as you like to the top.

I just tested it and it does not Glitch when I lock and unlock the phone. Even on Bluetooth.

All this tho and I bet the issue isn't the rom you are using. You prolly just need a full reset. I have found that sometimes I just have to Completely Wipe the phone and then install from scratch to get rid of little annoyances that pop up. I used Miui for about 2 weeks and never noticed what you are experiencing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lordpipa:
Glad to help another one!!! Now enjoy Absolution and thank the Devs, because without them this will not be possible!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
I will give Absolution a shot this weekend. But as for a bad flash, I don't think the ONLY people that responded to my comment agreeing that there is a problem would also have a bad flash. Not one person said they didn't experience this issue. Must be just a MIUI thing.

Thanks for the info!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ajm786:
Well, MIUI is based on CM7; I'm having this exact problem with CM7 (latest build). As a matter of fact, I've always had this issue, and it's very annoying. I also have a problem with the sound cutting to mono when listening on a headset, and it's highly irritating, because the only way to fix it is to unplug and replug the headphones.

I wonder if a full clean wipe will fix this. I'm really thinking about giving it a shot, but the issue is that I'm going to be stuck with one of two options: either a Sense ROM or a CM7 ROM. I really love CM7, and have no other issues with it than this, so I'm wondering if it is indeed worth it to switch to a Sense based ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
I know I won't be going back to sense.

Think I'll just gu buy an MP3 player if it comes down to that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wingrider78:
Hello, my wife and I both have Vibrants and she has been having battery draining issues for the past week or so. She obviously says she didn't do anything or put anything new on the device. I have installed the same ROM on both phones and other than apps/games, they are the same. We have Axura 2.3.1.2 and a battery meter mod installed.

I have tried swapping batteries between our phones, didn't fix the issue. Swapped back to original batteries.

Ran through the wipe battery stats, fully charge, wipe stats in recovery, fully drain till shuts down, charge completely without interruption. Still has the draining/shutting down issue

She mentioned having issue with updating her Facebook app, so I uninstalled that this morning and she continues to have her device drain very fast, shut down periodically, unable to restart without a battery pull.

Would reinstalling the rom help? what are some other options I can do before wiping clean and starting over in hopes that solves the problem?

If you need any other info, I will be glad to get it for you.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaintfm:
What kind of battery life are you getting? For instance, what's your idea of poor battery life? Also, what does your wife use the phone for?

You may want to simply try a different ROM. Axura hasn't been updated since March. The most recent Froyo ROMs are Toxic8 and Zendroid.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
I am using Toxic8 with the Bali 1.2 kernel and Juice Defender Plus, ... and getting 30+hrs with music (mp3 and streaming) all day long, some surfing, a lot of XDA. Sleeps over night and JD+ kills radios from 12-6am so nothing is sending data btwn those times eating up battery.

I just rebooted today to make a back up JIC but my uptime was approaching 300hrs. Heard good things about Zendroid too but I'm on Toxic8 and like it quite a bit.

Is she watching vids (video player or Tubes) or listening to online music/shows all day? Is her Facebook/ G+/ Gmail set to auto-sync? She must be running something that you are not to get the off balanced battery power like you say.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
had a similar problem on project v, turns out that sync was getting stuck on my picasa and wouldn't go any further, unchecked for it to sync and problem solved...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DLeeHarley:
LG Announced today thru PC Mag that we will be getting I've Cream Sandwich for sure. Probably by the end of November. Good news.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
Well I dont want to sound mean but, didnt they promise Optimus 2x gingerbread for a year now? So I will believe them when I see it done! Other than that Great news to look foreword to.

BTW, CM will have it out for us before LG will!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sinister.dexter:
Probably with less problems, too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Remember Gingerbread when it was released... the Dev Community had it released on all phones before any phone manufacture did.

You forget to think that ICS will go through a few revisions before reaching a stable version that will be ported to other phones.

BTW... link?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pcchameleon:
probably the end of November 2012...lol :-(

"LG Mobile

‎[LG Official Statements on Ice Cream Sandwich OS Update]

LG firmly denies the rumors that claim LG will not be providing the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) OS update for the LG Optimus 2X. These rumors are NOT true. LG is currently in the process of planning the ICS OS update for the LG Optimus 2X as well as other LG high-end smartphones. Detailed information on the ICS OS update schedule for specific models will be announced, once the ICS OS is publicly released by Google. Please stay tuned for more updates from LG.

Thank you very much."

straight from their fb page! So the p999 will definitely be getting this update, which who knows maybe it will be a better experience than 2.3.3
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
ummm..... the O2x gingerbread update is out and available via the LG updater.;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
Should be out By Summer based on the 2.3.3 for the G2x.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
Nothing in that particular article about the end of November. Oh well, I believe in cyanogenmod.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
Honestly, if LG reads this thread they'll think we don't even care if they release it or not. Come on guys, I for one love the fact that LG is stepping up to the plate to update the phone for us.

Whether it was due to our complaining, the hate posts on their FB page, our forum, Google pressure, or just the social responsibility of LG, it's acceptable by me.

I'm grateful for it and enthused by it. Anyways, back to the fact, it'll probably take them a while to release it, probably by like next April, but it's still an update.

I take back my post on their facebook page now. They seem like they care after all, even if they are slow, it's not like they've been huge players in the mobile industry as far as I know. So let them gain some momentum here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Don't worry. LG is not reading this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] clninja:
who cares?

- If LG does eventually put out an upgrade... it wont be untill Summer if that soon

- It will most likely suck like their GB update did.. ( froyo kernal? cmon )

- Before an official release... you STILL wont have drivers to make the phone function correctly because of NVIDIA

this is why i switched to a SGS2 hercules ....im done with LG and NVIDIA ... G2x had great potential... but i am done and will no longer buy from either company when it comes to phones
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Psyrecx:
It's too bad ATi never made a phone and never will, I would have bought one if they did. Unfortunate thing now is that AMD killed ATi, otherwise it probably could have made a phone that would crush the Tegra 2, just like they do with desktop/laptop GPUs. Anyways, I knew this would happen, apparently I was one of the only people that could spot that the other facebook response from "LG" was a fake :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
You obviously never owned a SGS Vibrant.... still running Froyo 2.2 forevermore. Every company does the "shove it out the door and fuggedaboudit shuffle"...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zPhreak:
If it used ATI drivers you'd be better off with NV and froyo kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] clninja:
Actually i did own a vibrant....ditched it for a g2x so i got back 2 back screwed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] S0NiX0928:
You and me both sir.

Sent via my LG G2x with CM7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DLeeHarley:
Why stay Here

I don't understand the people who post they are finished with LG and/or the G2x and has had enough. Trade it in for another phone that they say they are happier with, works better than and all that but stay here in the G2x forum to complain. If their new phones are all that much better why aren't they in their NEW forum helping others and such.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
LOL True that!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2xkid:
Im with u 100%
[T-Mobile LG G2x] clninja:
Some of us still have a g2x as well. I switched for a sgs2. My wife has a g2x still.

But yea i agree with you...those who no longer have posession of a g2x have no business in here

my man, actions mean more than words.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
regardless of the intention eh?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xali:
The forum should check what phone you have and kick you out if its another one, or at least make the xda app interrogate you LOL
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ProjektSUN:
I'm surprised that more people aren't up in arms over the marketing of the G2x as a 'dual-core' phone, yet there's currently no way to use the second core. Is this false advertising? I think that LG has an obligation to its customers to release ICS in order to fully take advantage of all the hardware features they claim.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] besthijacker:
but, they already have your money.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
PCMAG? r u guys kidding me? these are the same guys that said the iphone 5 was gonna have a metal back. NEWS FLASH there is no iphone 5 & the 4s has a glass back. So take this w a grain of salt :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
LG officially said it on their facebook so its real, we are getting ics, we dont know when though..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZeroT| Demented:
"We" are not guarunteed to be getting ics the o2x is but we most likely will
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tdizzle404:
I think that LG could give a **** less about g2x owners. They are going to learn from their mistakes and keep making new phones for new customers that have no idea about their software issues or lack of support.

Like someone already they got our money.

I think their focus is on new phones and new customer's.

I would love to see ICS on our phones but will not hold my breath.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
o2x is the same as g2x... even if they decide that somehow magically the g2x isnt good enough for ics but o2x is than the devs will easily port it over for the g2x..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I don't know all the fuss is about. The G2x was out little over a month and already had an update. Sure it wasn't as timely as we wanted but we got one regardless.

I can't see how people can compare the G2x to the Vibrant. I'm pretty sure we are being taken care of. Its not even out yet and people are freaking out.

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
This is completely false.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
It's gotta be using both cores, but maybe not as efficiently as possible, to get Quadrant Standard scores as high as it does being a stock device. Other 1Ghz device I have had couldn't even get over 900 on Quadrant, but this sucker with stock kernel gets 2400 to 2500 consistently. That all can't be just because of the GPU. I don't think the second core is being wasted; it is being underutilized though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Zeeshan.Mukhida:
Update

Optimus 2x will be getting ICS.

I don't doubt that G2x will get it. If not, the mods will port it over for G2x.:)
