And frankly I dont get why nvidia is doing this.

I dont think that any of us will ever buy an Nvidia chipset mobile device ever again.

Dont they see that?

How arrogant are they?

Kal-el seems to be amazing in terms of performance and efficiency.. but who cares...

I'd rather get a device which is not as good, knowing that for the next 1-2 years i'll have custom roms with updated OS.

Seriously??? I think both got fault but I think LG's fault is more serious because the latest Kernal has already been released by Nvidia but don't know why LG is not releasing it with the GB they release with 2x...
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
Seriously, you bought the first dual core phone in the world with a chipset made by a company who's never been in the phone business before (nvidia) made by a company who's never made high end android phones before (lg) and you expected everything to work flawlessly? Have some patience, lg has announced that they will release ics and nvidia has done a lot more already than I had expected (they are actually communicating with arcee about releasing stuff they don't have to release.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Well it looks like they're finally getting their act in gear, so all is not yet lost.
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
Agreed. I am slightly hopeful about this turning into a good phone :p. I just think that both nvidia and lg have fewer android-developers than what would have been optimal. This combined with the fact that they needed to release the device fast has lead to some frustration.
[LG Optimus 2x] technofan1:
I love the phone.... it has enough power, a beautiful IPS screen and is just the right size for me. It now has Gingerbread and ICS is promised. What's not to like? My missus has the iphone 4s and it was twice the cost I paid for my LG. I wouldn't swap mine for an iphone or any other £500 mobile just yet as it does all that's required and looks to have a rosy future with ICS.:)

Pete.
[LG Optimus 2x] HerrKuk:
Agreed

Take a look at SonyEricsson when they first relased Xperia.. First update from Donut to Eclair, it was even worse then LG. And dont forget how they locked Xperia bootloaders, damn people hated that company :D But now, a year later they actually help you to unlock bootloaders, are pretty quick with updates. And they even made dualtouch to X10, just because people demanded it.

So yes, companys can make 180° turns

So dont throw away your awesome piece of electronic, you are going to regret it.
[LG Optimus 2x] barmyman:
i saw a g2x forum, and in the ICS project thread Azuscee wrote that CM team has fully working ICS for g2x(which is 2x actually). So i think they have fully working test build for 2x also...so don't worry, we will have CM9 officially.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It's not fully working, the camera is a no-go.
[LG Optimus 2x] ThePigletWhisperer:
OMG..

Just saw the news from nvidia...

The trouble they would go, not to release the source code, is amazing..

I wonder why
[LG Optimus 2x] xalix:
So much frustration and problems with all this .... when I had the N95 8GB, `problem` was only about Garmin and some other small non-essential apps ...

everything else is working well and I had no need to change anything .....:rolleyes:

ps,,,, My wife will go crazy because I spend more time with phone :D

Zorica: Halid , can you please bring me a jacket ?

Halid: Ok Zorica , just to do nandroid restore and flash other kernel ... I fell in fck bootloop :mad:

[LG Optimus 2x] manasgirdhar:
Is anything on the O2X working??
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I think that everything bar the camera is working.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sckank:
So everything is working, except camera, including all features? Even hardware acceleration?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I think so.

Carrier IQ seems to be on all of the android carrier roms. Some of the custom roms have an opt-in option. There are some posts in other forums. I figured that I would show this to the photon users.

anyways ciq doesnt appear to be on this phone.. my best guess? its a global phone.. other carriers prolly dont want tracking metrics being run thru their network back to sprint.. ;)

thats just my take on it all tho
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
But it does have an ad service apk which does almost the same thing. Ever notice random ad text messages or crap in the notification dropdown. It was the first thing to go in skinnyrev0
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
sprintzone? yea thats common across devices tho
[Motorola Photon 4G] fortinj1354:
Sprint zone is technically not advertising though. It's designed to "provide important sprint information" though yes, most of that involves advertising for carious sprint services and partners. There is a setting in sprint zone to turn off notifications.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
Fox News

Fox News just reported on CIQ and that they "say" they do not capture keystrokes but some tests have proven this incorrect. They may be capturing alot more then we think. so, that being said, we need to make sure to block or remove CIQ from android builds if present.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
Fox news huh...lmao
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
HAHA I remember the excellent treads on the Epic forums. The guy who shall not be named :p
[Motorola Photon 4G] duncanbyy:
I just found "Data Collection 1.0" on the phone. Look at the permissions, very scary looking just like CIQ. And there are "Data Collector Service 1.0" and "Data Collector Provider 1.0" to go with it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Its already been confirmed that the photon doesn't have carrier IQ
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
stop it and see what happens. you lose your connection to google immediatly and even then the service stops. ciq is a service taht cant be stopped so easily

idk why everyone is freaking out....this has been on the phones FOR A WHILE NOW!!! it's like injecting yourself with poison, nothing happening for years, then someone walks up to you and says, yeah, poison can kill you, then you go nuts....come on people....
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Its cause now we're aware of it. That's like you bang a hooker, get an STD that has no immediate symptoms like the silent killer syphilis, then 1 year later you get a panel and it shows positive. What's not to understand? People had some sort idea that Google was keeping location based stats but many didn't know all of our keystrokes were being monitored at such a deep level hidden in our phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
Yeah, apparently Sprint blatantly reports using it now:

http://www.sprintfeed.com/2011/12/sprint-fesses-up-and-admits-to-using-carrier-iq/

There's also a video of a dude using logcat to see everything the IQ service does, including text message contents, unencrypted https results... the works :(

Glad this phone doesn't have it then.
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
i already knew that when i had my Evo 4g, it was explained in full detail like it is now...and that was about maybe 2 years ago now...that's all i'm saying, the info was already out there but no one said a thing...now a no named vigilante says something and everyone's nickers are in a twist, i think it's a little funny, but shows that no one is willing to actual KNOW their "smart"phone, it's like buying a use car...do a little reading and research, i know everything i said might come off bad, but i mean, if the info was there in my case, 2 years ago, and i knew about, i'm sure if anyone just took a minute to read online they would have know a long time ago....that is all...
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Again, the root/hack/mod community and the general public is like 1000:1!

Many around XDA and the underground community knew something of this but I mean how do we compare to the general smart phone users? Once the general users find out and it gets to the masses what you think is going to happen; exactly what's happening now. This thing is going to be HUGE. Carrier IQ's technology is going to be investigated thoroughly to make sure they're not violating our privacy within the constitution. (Which I believe they are). I'm calling it right now; CIQ will go to court to defend themselves (I'm sure someone will escalate this to the supreme court), they will lose, and it will be removed from phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
oh i know this friend :D but the real question is....will we be compensated for our loss???? (privacy)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Lol. Compensation would be nice but I doubt it. I'm just sitting around watching this from the side line. ****s gonna get real :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
class-action anyone? >.> :P i value my privacy at/around 700 dollars a day ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ghsthntr:
Um....everybody knew about it like a year ago on the EVO/Epic when they identified it and started removing it from ROMs. Sprint uses it to track stuff like when the phone or network doesn't work right so when you call in with dropped calls or slow data or something they can figure out if your phone's radio is jacked or their towers aren't working. The biggest problem anybody really had with it that wasn't a paranoid tinfoil hat wearer was that it could be a bit of a resource hog sometimes. Should they provide an opt-in? Probably...Is anybody that is smart enough to understand what it is also able to root their phone and install a ROM that removes it? Yup
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
Oh this is gonna be wayyy bigger than your typical class action. I can see this all the way to the supreme court. Senators are already getting involved...
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
You clearly aren't that bright are ya? 0_o

Everyone? Everyone as in the 100,000 underground phone savvy individuals or the 10 billion general everyday smartphone users who just know how to make calls, text, and send emails? Its also just not on sprint its EVERYWHERE on MOST phones. Come on dude lets use our brains here.

You get the point, or maybe you don't. I'm going to assume you don't based on your post.
[Motorola Photon 4G] k4mjk:
The thing is somewhere in the fine print on a contract or when you agreed to use your phone you gave consent to the software license. Google is in the information business anything google helps them get more information gmail google voice and chrome all send info back to the servers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
actually googles are when you use location services etc... carrieriq is just that CARRIER based..

just as a protip to everyone cm7 doesnt have it, nor does any of the nexus devices

LOL so you think because some frivolous lawsuits get filed and Al Franken starts pontificating clearly the Supreme Court MUST get involved!
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
When did I say must? Of course its going to begin in the lower courts maybe even stick around at state level with the many civil cases that are going to happen but I said I COULD see it getting that far since it COULD be violating our rights. If enough individuals and individuals with lots of money take carrier IQ to court and don't feel like justice was served what do you think is going to happen? If enough people appeal for a higher court where do you think its going to go? **** Al Franken thats not the point and YOU'RE completely missing it. Frivolous? Yeah may be frivolous to your ignorant ass but I think the other 10 million NOW aware smart phone users may beg to differ.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Htc went too far yes, but all carriers can track internet usage. In fact every internet provider can. Every time you use a search engine your being tracked. How do you think google knows which results to put on top. If they didnt track it they wouldn't know what to put first. Thats how search engines work. Android tracks app installs for research so app devs can see what people want. There are laws that limit info that could steal personal info. Unless you plan on running tor networks all day then you are being tracked. No rights have been violated by most manufacturers, except htc, so chill.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Btw skinny removes tracking apps
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
I think I know how search engines work..bro. You are yet another individual that has no clue what's going on with the carrier IQ fiasco. Carrier IQ is tracking a bit more than just your traditional location and search history/results. I understand you make roms and whatnot and that's cool and all but this may be beyond your head lol; unless you have some hidden legal experience which I'm pretty sure you don't but thanks for the reply. :)

You are on the photon forum, now unless you used a tcpdump tool, i provided via leak, or ran some proxy tools to route all incoming and outgoing data for analysis(which i did), then removed offending apps(which i did via skinny), then stfu. "Carrier iq"on isnt on the photon, we have some ad software that tracks location, apps and browser history, sprint can do that server side if they wanted but its harder. Now if you want to disprove me ill give you all the tools to prove me wrong. Insulting someone without knowing there background is stupid. Some of you know im in law enforcement, based on my work here you may be able to guess what i do. So is that qualified enough for ya.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ghsthntr:
If your aunt had balls she COULD be your uncle! asshat
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nerorising:
I think it's safe to say that no matter the device or carrier, that Carrier IQ is relatively easy to remove/block--when and if present. So for the sake of board unity, can we all just take a breath, and agree to disagree (Without the need to verbally bash one another)? After all, the carriers themselves do enough bashing--though their form of bashing comes monthly in the form of our bills.

So here is a question you guys, not carrier IQ nut tracking none the less. In a 2006 article the FBI was able to remotely listen in on cell phones even if the phone is off. This type of hacking has to be closer to a hardware level. Anyone have any ideas how that is done?

P.s. don't by a phone without a removable battery if you have anything to hide.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
They can do it only on phones that are on but the screen is off. This is done by dailing the phone with a special access code. Or by hacking the mic and setting up an upstream. Going to airplane mode is all thats needed to prevent this, or go somewhere with no service. Now listening to conversations isnt done on the phone side, you can use a cell scanner, cloned phone, or tap the carrier.

Wanna keep secrets, dont use cell phones; or buy a cheap old phone and use prepaid cards. Phones that can be cloned are preferred to change serial numbers.

This may not be a timely response. But i just tested this out on my nexus. I have a thinkoutside stowaway Bluetooth keyboard and i sucessfully synced. Steps taken

1. Put keyboard in pair mode (ctrl+ blue fn key + green fn key) green light in top row of keyboard will begin flashing slowly.

2. Hit search for devices on nexus screen under Setting-> Bluetooth. Keyboard will appear with keyboard icon and mac address.

3. Click device on nexus screen.

4. You will be instructed to enter a passphrase on the keyboard. Passphrase will be displayed on ur nexus screen. Hint: the pass phrase is 4 digit number so dont forget to use the blue fn key to type as there are no dedicated numbers on the stowaway keybaord. I had to repeat step 3 and 4 twice as the first attempt said incorrect passphrase even tho i had enter it correctly.

Hi,

I've found some kind of issue with Bluetooth and Internet Sharing.

Bluetooth starts and finds other devices as well as other devices find my phone. But whenever try to connect my phone says: device not supported. I've tried connect with Htc cha cha, Samsung galaxy s2 and Sony Ericsson xperia. Everytime the same, my phone after provided pin number says: not supported.

The other issue is with Internet Sharing. When I try to connect to shared connection everything looks ok. But then I get a message on my laptop: no internet access. When I click troubleshooting it says device (my phone) is blocking internet access.

I don't really know where is an issue. There is no any settings on my phone I could change about the issues.

Has anyone got similar problems?

i might have had the same problem; it would'nt allow me to 'internet sharing' with the data plan i had (i had the middle plan; $25 month), i had to call ATT and upgrade my data plan to the $45 plan. Needless to say i was pissed, i really cant afford the more expensive data plan. i am now looking for a hack to do this from the middle data plan. what makes me even more mad is that i was able to do the internet sharing with my old phone, the ATT Tilt 2, with the middle data plan. again, i'm looking for a hack to solve this problem.
