[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Agreed but this obviously isn't Samsung. We've already had an update and have NO reason to suggest we won't be getting more updates.

NVidia and LG have closed drivers but that doesn't stop development. Everyone labels LG as being a bad manufacture based on bad experiences with Samsung.

While I would like more "openness" around the device as a whole, I do ultimately blame NVidia. Even on Desktop Linux boxes, NVidia is hush hush.

IMO, looking at LG or any other manufacture, it doesn't really pay-off to release source code within the first year. You have to think that manufactures have to warranty the devices for a year and people boinking their hardware over some poorly self-compiled driver only costs them money.

I predict we'll get an official ICS upgrade and be shut down. The question is if we'll get a new kernel or if they still pimp that Froyo version!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
ICS cannot run on the old kernel. It will have to be a new kernel, and more than likely, a new baseband also (as Qualcomm is continually updating the baseband code to finetune it, so there is no reason for LG not to improve the device with a baseband update also).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
I've long figured that while there was a small chance LG wouldn't release ICS for the G2x there was a much bigger chance they would.

Here's my logic: The launch of the phone was a disaster from a PR perspective and left a lot of people considering other manufacturers for their next phone. As a result LG has a lot of ground to make up in terms of consumer trust. In terms of repairing their reputation releasing ICS for the G2x would go a long way to rebuilding the trust they lost. As long as LG's beancounters determine that the money put into developing ICS for the G2x is worth it LG will do it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Lets just hope its not a half ass build like the gingerbread build was...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Why do people on this board whine about this phone so much? There was nothing wrong with the Gingerbread build. It is a very stable and fast stock Android build. If you don't like it install one of the custom roms based on it or CM7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
1. There is a difference between whining and making a statement

2. Check the sig. 2 steps ahead of you :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
I've noticed that. Personally I like it. For non-root users it's relatively bloat-free and it's vanilla Android. And if you have root and don't like it you can easily switch to another ROM. I'm looking forward to LG's ICS because it won't have Sense or Motoblur or ant BS on it. And I look forward to trying out CM9 when it's available as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I'm actually really intrigued as to what Sense can do with ICS. Now paired with HW acceleration, Sense won't be as bloaty anymore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmj2012:
True that. I'm a bit of a minimalist but I wouldn't put another guy down for likin' some extra mojo on his phone.

:confused: trying to update my rooted nexus one, but it dose NOT go well for a few times. it got a following message;

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

how can i fix it?

thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
When you say rooted do you mean there is a custom ROM installed? If so then you won't be able to update with an update file you will need to do is with a whole ROM file such as passimg. So check out passimg (look at my sig) then you should be prompted for an upgrade as soon as you boot up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykom:
no, my one is just gingerbreaked. im trying to update it to 2.3.6 or 7.

thanks,
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Rooted phone won't update.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykom:
you may or not update rooted phone. we all know that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykom:
you may or not update a rooted phone. we all know that. i don't need this kind of reply. let me clarify my question.

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signarure verification failed

Installation aborted.

what do these message mean? and can i fix it?

thx
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The message is self-explanatory.

The file doesn't pass signature check.

Which means - it's either corrupted or wrong.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykom:
what you say is what the message say.

it won't be a solution.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You're not asking the right questions :) we're only trying to help :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gablu:
Once u rooted ur phone, U can't simply update the OTA version... neither manually..

Now to update to the latest android official, U need to "UNROOT" ur phone first and then u'll get what u want. How to "unroot," Read 'Dude Random21's' Signatures.

U can't have an official android and custom ROM running simultaneously on ur phone :-)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The solution should be obvious:

Download the correct and non-corrupted update, and apply.

You're not giving any information about your error, besides the error itself, and expect the forum to help you. For example, if you're doing it through custom recovery which you installed instead of the stock Android recovery - it won't be able to read Google original update files, since they have different signatures, and you'll need to turn off the signature check in the recovery. On the other hand, if the message appears on stock recovery - it can only mean a corrupted or wrong download.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykom:
what obvious? you don't decide what i think. i would. please don't bother yourself. i think that i got a right rom update, and no corruption.

however, i agree that there is NOT enough info. please take a look at a screen shot. it has not received new autoupdate recently even when it is not rooted, so may try to get it manually.

what ota or any rom update anybody recommend? and address to get it.

thanks,
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
The reason is that you are not running stock Android. Your carrier has a custom version on there, so you will have to wait until they release an update for your phone (or you can use the PASSIMG method to possible get you back to stock Android).

Since you are not running stock Android (verified by seeing your build number... official builds from Google use a 5 character Build Version like GKW74), you cannot use the official updates files from google. They will show that the signatures do not match, because it isn't able to update a non-Google release.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykom:
;)thanks to bassmadrigal,

that is what i was guessing. so now i have a choice.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] seh6183:
Why am I having such a hard time getting this t work? I use my phone to take all the videos I need and just want to play them back on my tablet. I have tried for hours to get it to work and can find nothing. I want to use the movie studio app for honeycomb to edit the videos as well. Anyway around this?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] juliano76:
Welcome to the club. GTab cant play 1080 video made by sgs2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] seh6183:
If I record in 720 will they play just fine? In the meantime how do I convert these 1080 videos down to 720 so I can add them to a movie im making?

I'd prefer to convert them right on the tablet but can use handbrake on a comp if I absolutely have to.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] the-bink:
Handbrake will always solve the issue, as you can convert to whatever codex/container you want. But why not something like youtube (private video) to do it for you, upload from your SGSII and the video stays online, not consuming any storage memory on your Tab or SGSII?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] seh6183:
I was trying to get the videos converted to so I could upload them into movie studio. I converted them but they wouldn't upload into movie studio. If I take videos with my phone in 720 mode they upload into movie studio just fine.

As per the title, I understand there is a nice looking Reader built into the S2's Touchwiz UI, based on Kobo.

Is it possible to side load my own non-DRM epubs, and do they show with the proper covers in the UI?

(Currently got a Desire HD, and love the built in HTC reader, but the Desire is looking very clunky now.... )

Thanks for any advice...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xda_n00b:
Put your ePubs in your internal/external memory card.

Then open Kobo, press the menu key and select Import Content.

[HTC Rezound] gerodive:
What's the deal with HTCSense.com? It was announced as a huge distinguisher ansd selling point for HTC phones, but nowhere has it been mentioned with the Rezound. I can't seem to register the device on it either, though the site is still up and apparently fucntional. Anyone else have this issue, and why has this not been addressed by HTC? Have they dropped support for the site on new devices or something and just not told anybody? I for one would love the ability to remote wipe, lock, ring and locate without fees or 3rd party apps. Why did HTCSense.com just seem to fall off the face of the earth?
[HTC Rezound] Apsalus:
Sense.com is still going strong. Verizon just decided that it was not in their interest to allow their HTC phones to access it. HTC's HUB is off-limits to us too. Very nice of Verizon, don't you think?
[HTC Rezound] gerodive:
Hmm...

Yeah that's not okay! What's their motivation for this and more importantly, how do we circumvent it?
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
Motivation - $$$$$$$$ , control.

Sent from my HTC

LTE 4G Rezound
[HTC Rezound] gerodive:
Can we somehow access it if we have a rooted phone?
[HTC Rezound] Sleek69:
That's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe we can enable it on custom sense-based roms.
[HTC Rezound] aostl:
You can. I had it on my thunderbolt
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
I can't believe Verizon did that. I was wondering why I couldn't access skins. HTC needs to step up and give us this option.
[HTC Rezound] BB88:
I'm not a EVO 3D user, and I can only tell you that none of the functions on HTCSense.com work for me as of today.
[HTC Rezound] not2gutta:
Bit confused, you can go the HTC's website and download additional skins??

and sense.com bring me to a foreign website...:eek:
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Try htcsense.com plain sense can get you something completely different. lol

So what's the big deal about that site? I read something about tracking your phone, backing up data and skins and ringtones. Is that it?

Is HTC Hub part of this?
[HTC Rezound] RED ZMAN:
Oh goodness, is it time for another petition? LOL
[HTC Rezound] erishasnobattery:
To my knowledge, no Verizon (or any US carrier, for that matter) has ever enabled the feature. Most likely because they have their own utilities that do the same thing.

Hub is enabled in my ROM, and I think others, but I don't believe it has any support for xhdpi, meaning wallpapers are too small and skins look ridiculous.

[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Ya I'm almost positive the sensation 4G had htc hub
[HTC Rezound] nerdydesi:
Its a real shame that Verizon is blocking HTC-Sense. You'd figure they want to block it so they can push their own competing services to you instead. But as far as I know, they don't offer services such as locating your device, wiping it remotely, etc. I believe you have to buy insurance through Asurion to enable those features. Ah, so Verizon would like us to shell the extra cash for Asurion insurance where they'll get a bit of commission off of that?

Good old greedy Verizon. :mad:

So has anyone been able to enable the features of the website with rooted HTC phones and custom roms then to bypass our evil American carriers? :)
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
There are apps you can do remote wiping, calling, etc. of your phone. Cerberus, avast! and others. Some free, some pay.
[HTC Rezound] erishasnobattery:
Look up two posts. It's in all the sense 3+ BAMF Roms as far as I know.

Sent using Morse code.
[HTC Rezound] Apsalus:
Sense.com and HTC Hub comes standard on all of AT&T and T-Mobile's HTC Android phones the last time I checked. Yes, VZW's stance is probably "use our stuff instead."
[HTC Rezound] qudwis:
there was a rom i think..

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

there's no custom rom that has htc.com, but

bamf rom has htc hub app that u can try.

u need an account to use.

the problem is that there's nothing to use

for sense 3.5 i think.
[Thunderbolt General] jumpman1229:
Anyone have the HTC Hub apk?
[Thunderbolt General] miketoasty:
HTC Hub extracted from Bamf Forever 1.10. Although it says HTC Direct, I installed it, and it is HTC Hub.
[Thunderbolt General] jumpman1229:
Thanks so much! :)

EDIT: It says application not installed. Any idea why?
[Thunderbolt General] nbdysreal:
Jump, I'm not sure if it matters, but what version sense are you installing this on. If its from band 1.10 that is sense 3 if I recall. Might be installing on a sense 2.1 ROM?
[Thunderbolt General] jumpman1229:
I'm running stock GB with Sense 2.1
[Thunderbolt General] nbdysreal:
Yea, i figured. He gave you the hub from sense 3.0. My guess is that is your problem. You'll have to get clarity from a dev or someone who has dug into the hub, as i haven't much. I recall when the bolt first was rooted and dev's put hub in it, one said it had to be "enabled", so might be more work than just installing the apk. Good luck.
[Thunderbolt General] jumpman1229:
Ahh. Thanks for the help dude

Awesome news but should be in the general section.

...fighting ninjas at night. Talking about this and that.
[LG Optimus 3D] destroyerpl:
Good news but as we know LG, official ICS will be with 1 year delay as GB?
[LG Optimus 3D] uit.edu:
Use ICE cook while waiting Official ICE ^^
[LG Optimus 3D] visualizer2k:
Well it says december this year, or lets see. I am counting on it. :)
[LG Optimus 3D] MadCobbler:
It says December is when they let us know when we will get ICS, they will probably say December 2012 :D
[LG Optimus 3D] destroyerpl:
Wants to say "I like it" ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] hoangtu2410:
I thought so, too, maybe December 2012

Good news for us i think i will not sell my 3D to get a i9100 anymore.:D.This topic should be mooved to General section,until wee see some facts.

no use if they release in dec 2012....

Dec 22/2012: LG just released ICS for Optimus 3D...

*boom* the world ends :D
[LG Optimus 3D] anwoe:
Why dont they just say March or April.. instead they will have people hyped in December for nothing just like they did with GB ...

LG Life aint that good!
[LG Optimus 3D] ilmancr:
glad to know that mate...but i'll be much happier if i know exactly the time...:)
[LG Optimus 3D] vladutz2007:
It say's december this year.Maybe Lg will do a good thing finaly us :)
[LG Optimus 3D] Tactics119:
Great news. :D
[LG Optimus 3D] Urabewe:
Like I said over on Thrill forum. We are all a bit bitter with LG around here but, I am going to give them a chance and hope for a first quarter 2012 release.

Hopefully arcee hasnt given up on us also. Truth be told, I am happy with GB right now and just knowing that LG has ICS coming at some point is good for me. I am sticking with this phone for the duration of my 2 year contract and I am the type of person that usually keeps a phone until it breaks or it has been so long the tech is unsupported so I can wait.

...fighting ninjas at night. Talking about this and that.
[LG Optimus 3D] visualizer2k:
I second that, if you see the reasons that took to bring gingerbread so late: New Video Editor, Radio enhancements for increase in network speed, 3D framework (not piece of cake).

I give full credit to LG to provide us good features at cost of some time.
[LG Optimus 3D] mineshrai:
Optimus 2X, Optimus Black, Optimus 3D and Optimus LTE are the eligible candidate to get Ice Cream Sandwich. The exact time schedule will be communicated in December......:)
[LG Optimus 3D] kriptikchicken:
Ironically, communication companies are sometimes the worst at communicating! :p
[LG Optimus 3D] arniman:
I love LG. Now I have Optimus 7 and Optimus 3D and they are Mega cool. My previous phone was HTC Desire.
[LG Optimus 3D] typhex:
I am pretty happy with gingerbread. And I don't care if lg is updating to ice cream sandwich or not. Because I am sure that we will have ics from cyanogen in some month
[LG Optimus 3D] visualizer2k:
Nice, but personally I do not believe it will be 3D cyanogen.

And there is no point using ice cream sandwich without all 3D features that this mobile stands for.
[LG Optimus 3D] omgomg:
I'm happy now we've gingerbread. Phone works pretty well and most of those nasty bugs were ironed out.

Personally, I consider ICS as a bonus, something unexpected, but at the same time it's something that increases my brand loyalty (which I never had before) to LG.

It's a good move, very welcomed.
[LG Optimus 3D] KurdX:
What good is gingerbread when they removed the function to connect a bluetooth mouse/keyboard? That is STANDARD in gingerbread but apparently LG thought they can remove that and f**k everything up for their consumers. If they wont include that in ICS i'll flush my O3D down the toilette.

HDMI-Out without the ability to use a bluetooth mouse/keyboard? Seriously..
[LG Optimus 3D] froewis:
I am sure that v21a isnt the last ginger update that our phone get. Maybe we got BT HID support before we get ICS so we may havnt to wait years for it =)

Sorry for that bad english...
[LG Optimus 3D] cyclonmaster:
Hooray, but no hooray. Most likely release date will be after android 4.1 or 5.0 released. Just look at GB release as an example.

LG...huh!
[LG Optimus 3D] exceleth:
This is a fresh start chance for them. And they are at the same timeline as all the other companies now : zero. If they learnt their lessons, they may even be the first to rollout ICS. Time will show.
[LG Optimus 3D] Demonface:
Well hopefully they recieved all of the complaints and they should probably release ICS first in order to get a bigger customer base. Well as you said Time will tell. It really doesnt matter because I might end up keeping this phone for longer than 2 years. So i have plenty of time to wait for the updates.
[LG Optimus 3D] Urabewe:
That's pretty much my position GB is just fine for now, I am going to have this phone over 2 years so ICS at some point is good enough for me.

Maybe it is true, maybe LG has seen the light and realizes to stay competitive they have to be quicker on updates. We will see very soon.
[LG Optimus 3D] un4seen:
Actually, corporate world doesn't work like that. Unless there is some real pressure on them, execs won't care or probably even know that some people are dissatisfied. Just look at htc - it took many criticisms from major portals for them to unlock bootloaders, and they only did so on very few phones. Motorola still doesn't ship phones with unlocked bootloaders, still ignores customers and still delays or cancels updates even despite the ****storm that happened with Milestone.

And, since O3D doesn't have any real community that'll put organized pressure on LG to fix GB and release ICS in time, we can count on delaying releases as long as they can. We can reasonably assume that ICS, if released at all for O3D, won't be here until next major version of Android will come for other devices. I just hope they'll fix GB soon.
[LG Optimus 3D] dinoric81:
LG have already said that the Optimus 3d is getting Ice Cream Sandwich so why is there still doubt about LG releasing Ice Cream Sandwich for it and what is wrong with Gingerbread.
[LG Optimus 3D] cyclonmaster:
We have been stuck with Froyo for a long time. They said they will release GB soon, but reality is not soon enough.

No doubt that ICS will be the same. In their term soon=1 year or more.
[LG Optimus 3D] Demonface:
They said they would release ICS so we just have to give them some time.Probably this time they would release it earlier then the other companies. But all we can do is wait and see what happens.
[LG Optimus 3D] dinoric81:
Lets just wait and see what LG say when they announce the upgrade schedule for Ice Cream Sandwich this month. Then we can moan if it's too long a wait.
[LG Optimus 3D] mugenex:
Lg problem with manufacture is they dod not invest in software development which smart phone is truly about. Samsung know it that why they spend $50 million in software department, in addition, samsung, htc, and motorola are willing to release kernel with xda to improve and time frame for update faster. Lg and sony ericsson is lagging in update in the time frame. After SE loss consumer faith with xperia X they try to win consumer with all the news relate to update. Lg is lossing the battle ground b/c they seem not invest in U.S market with update. They will sone realize that once they are loss U.S faith. They need to work with XDA period.
[LG Optimus 3D] 0space_monkey0:
agreeing with mugenex....

If LG wants to see a boost in its phones, open up to DEV.
[LG Optimus 3D] dinoric81:
You have to remember that most people that buy phones don't care about putting different roms on so I don't think there would be a boost in LG phones.
[LG Optimus 3D] Beriaru:
Why not? You're thinking in only one direction: from vendor to developers, but LG could use the code from the developers to improve their official builds.

Wouldn't be amazing if the update to ICS from LG were CM9+Real3D with source?

I bet it would be a hit in every blog related to Android.
[LG Optimus 3D] mugenex:
It is not about putting different rom on the phone, but to able to have a faster time frame update. Every phone release, it doesnt matter apple or nokia, the phone always have bugs that is where developers come in to bring update faster. Many manufacture are still focus on release hardware as much as possible but smart is different. Sofware should be first. Period
