[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I think the following is related to malayians so you have to use an indonesian firmware :

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/tool_mode_country_check.jsp?model=LGP970&country=MY

- you can flash firmwares anytime whatever the situation

- to flash a ROM (cyanogen, nova...) you need the custom recovery mod called ClockworkMod alias CWM (available on the market via ROM Manager app, or my kit)

- and for CWM, root access is needed

once phone is rooted and CWM installed, phone potential is extended to the infinite. you can then install a lot of useful apps of more and customize your phone.

I think the general goal of all of that, is to optimize and extend possibilities as far as possible and then you'll be able to say that you "truly own" your phone
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Thanks for clearing that up bro. BTW,would you recommend me using Gingerbreak to root my phone? Since i'm using an older firmware,it should be ok,right?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
no problem, blackjack should do it too. do as your feeling :D
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Thanks bro! Anyway,anything else I should know and do before I root my phone? Like should I do a factory reset,battery level 100% or something?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
2 steps : root, flash recovery.

know that you'll have to use an app to boot into recovery (ROM manager, anreboot, ezboot...) take a look at my thread for more infos
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Great! Cool bro,thanks! And sorry for the stupid question,but what are KDZs?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
firmware files are in .kdz format
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Ouh,wow,did that felt stupid,haha. So what you're saying is,after rooting my phone,I should get to installing ClockWorkMod Recovery,am I right? And the only way to install it is using the computer,connect it with the phone,and execute the UPK that you have provided in your download link. After that,I use the app,EzBoot,to boot into recovery mode,is this correct?

After that,what will I do in the recovery mode? Thankies again!:):D
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
all right. as I said earlier, the recovery mode extends phone potential in an easy way. many ROMs and mods must be did via recovery. in fact, CWM helps you flashing files, roms, doing backups/restorations and more. jump the step and see by yourself.

don't forget to backup before anything :)
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
By backing up,you mean backing up contacts and internal memory stuffs,right?

All right! Will root my phone as soon as my charge hits 100%! Using gingerbreak! Is the root reverse-able? I mean,can I unroot my phone once I root it?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
you don't need 100% battery as long phone is plugged. for now, blackjack doesn't have a reverse process. but gingerbreak, yes, considering the fact you stay on v10a/b. you may try with the new superoneclick. the most radical method is still flashing a firmware (so you'll lose all stuffs)

and yes, backup any saveable thing. although CWM saves all datas, more safety is more safe :)
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Sorry bro,can't quite understand you here. Flashing firmware? For what? I'm just gonna root my phone right? No need to flash,right?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
backup when it's needed, that's all. but it's not necessary for rooting
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Thanks bro llko,really appreciate your assistance! But can you please tell me what are these kernel and baseband thingies? Searched for them on google,didn't understand it,haha.
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Sorry for the double post,but I need to ask llko someting. Bro,I rooted the phone already,much to my delight,haha! So,what do I do now? Can I remove the apps that came with my phone? I think I don't need these car home and app advisor thingies. Waiting for your guidance,haha! Also,where do I remove these apps? Can't find any options to remove them.

Thanks again bro!
[LG Optimus Black] zzynxx:
Use titanium backup bro. To remove app :D
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Titanium backup? Ain't it use only for backing up apps and configuration and stuff? I saw this one app on the market,root explorer. This isn't it?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
If you just want to remove app, you can use simple app AntTek App Manager.

-CMIIW-
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Bro redy,if I use ClockWorkMod to freeze my apps like SNS,emails,maps,weathers,car home and such,things that i dont use,will it be ok? I mean,just freeze them,not uninstall them from my system. So far,i think I'll just stick to stock ROM until a proper Cyanogen ROM is out, Is this ok,in your opinion,your honest opinion that is. Thanks bro!
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
sure, this what I'm actually doing, waiting for a stable CM ROM.

for apps, you may also uninstall manually by yourself with a root explorer. stock apps are located at /system/app. Careful with that, you may damage system and corrupt the boot process
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
So,for the bloatware,do you freeze them or uninstall them? Like SNS,Maps,they always appear on my task manager kill list,think it's draining my battery. So,do you recommend me to remove them using your ClockWorkMod or freeze them? :)
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
some processes are only loaded in memory, they will work on background only if you solicit them. they don't drain anything until they're used, but widgets. uninstall them (simply delete apks) if you want a clean system and more space
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
But,by removing these .apks,when Gingerbread update comes along,I won't be able to install it right? So,I have to flash my phone again to restore it so it will be able to receive the update?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
True that but u can find another thread about that ;) just look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1378567 Search sometimes helps :D
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Ok,now I understand. What app do you guys recommend to use for deleting these .apks? Apps like ES File Explorer but specializes in exploring the .apks of the phone,right?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
I'm using AntTek App Manager to freeze or uninstall apk from my system. Freezing is just disabled them from loaded by system, but the main app still exist. I also have few app that frozen.

-CMIIW-
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Thanks for replying bro! Appreciate it! So,you uninstall and freeze your apps based on your preferences? If you don't mind,can you please tell me what apps you have frozen or deleted? Thanks! And if you don't want to share it,it's fine,I understand completely. :)
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
well it is done by preferences but mainly on needs. so, disable or delete what you don't need or/and you'll never use.

[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
llko,,i tried turning freezing apps that I didn't use,like SNS,Maps and whatnot,but my battery life is still kinda weak. Any more optimization I should know about?

BTW,what ROM are you running? Stock? Modified? Thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I'm on stock 10E with the Quasar kernel.

you won't save that much energy by freezing 3 apps. for that you'll need "true" optimizations.

example : flash Nova ROM (which is already so optimized), then tweak (build.prop...) and underlock to 800mhz with CPU Master or SetCPU.
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
And what are these kernel thingies? Can you explain it in a more noobish way? Thanks! and what are adb?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(computing)

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html

please do more research for question like that. limited assistance :D
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Ahh,sorry bro,I took advantage of your kindness,won't happen again,sorry bro.

So,flashing a custom kernel is like flashing a ROM right? You just have to install ClockWorkMod recovery,boot into reecovery mode and then,this is where I got blur again,haha,sorry bro!

So,how's your experience with the Quasar kernel? Any good? BTW,do you think it would work with my stock V10-a?

Thanks bro! Would stop asking for definitions and start asking on more subjective matters! :)
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
for quasar see this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1190604

and yes, to flash any zip file, boot into recovery > install zip from sdcard > choose zip > apply

done
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
So,if I were to return to my stock kernel,I'll just have to do a nandroid recovery,is that it? The recovery I done before I flash my kernel,right?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
right.

man, all your questions were so logical, are you sure that you're a noob ? :D
[LG Optimus Black] Laier94:
Haha! I'll take it as a compliment bro,thanks!

Nah bro,this is my first time doing this sort of stuff. Although,I am experienced in basic computing stuff,formatting Windows,basic computer programs. So yeah,that might've helped a little with me understanding these smartphone jargon.

Basically,

Flashing=Formatting

Rooting=Administrative Account

Well,kernel I don't know though,haha.

Thanks bro llko for guiding me,really appreciate what you've done. Thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
no problem dude. just see the kernel as a heart for the system. it drives the system, like system32 for windows.
[LG Optimus Black] Tigrul:
hello guys. i got a problem.

I had installed cm7 that I was not happy and i wanted to return to the stock rom.

I did all the steps required to install the official rom ( wipe data , wip cache e.t.c ) everything is installed perfectly with B2CAppSetup or KDZ FW UPD without errors, but the phone starts, LG logo appears on the screen and then reboots over and over again. I tried the original versions of software from luivit.altervista KDZ V10 A / B / C / D / E / F / G and official update and emergency recovery without success. all do the same. I do not know what to try.

I looked for a solution to a few hours on the internet but without success. Does anyone have any idea?

I repeat: firmware is installed without any problems or errors but when p970 trying to start , appear LG logo and restarts again from the beginning.

sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance.

anyoane can help me ?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
did you try hard reseting ?
[LG Optimus Black] Tigrul:
I managed after all sorts of attempts with this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1275315

Everything is okay now.

Thank you anyway.
[7 Mozart General] poolielad:
Not sure how to word this lol... I am looking for app to use my phone data on my laptop, my mate as a Nokia and he as one called joikuspot.... just wondering if there is one available for this phone, without doing any major mods to the phone??
[7 Mozart General] majkeljj:
As I good understand you would like share you cellular internet to laptop, so you need "internet shering". It is avalilable in the newest HTC update 7740. Connect you phone to PC open Zune and check for update. If you have 7740 installed and don't see internet shering in Settings I don't think you will find any software for this.
[7 Mozart General] bazza155:
You need the latest firmware. Its not 7740 that allows it.
[7 Mozart General] poolielad:
I have just updated to to latest software but still cant find it..
[7 Mozart General] Lukariello:
Hi friend.. can you share with us information about your OS.. you can find in Settings ->information

Maybe u can receive better after that! thank you

Luca
[7 Mozart General] poolielad:
OS version:7.10.7740.16

Thanks for any help
[7 Mozart General] Lukariello:
Usually telephone companies for Branded cell release an update (is not a firmware update) that add toy your Setting menu the voice "Internet Sharing" so you can share your connection via USB or Wifi as hotspot.

For me.. (i have Unbranded cell) 1 month ago Zune show "HTC update available".

Try via zune or try to call your mobile Op. if not you have to Flash your phone with Custom Rom (on base have Internet Sharing)

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
VZW is sending me a new Thunderbolt because of a small audio issue I was having with my phone. They told me on the phone if they detect water damage on my old Thunderbolt once they get it back, then I will be charged full retail.

Obviously I do not want that to happen.....thing is, I spilled part of a beer on my phone about 3 weeks ago. Immediately after it happened I took out battery and wiped the whole phone down.

It has worked fine since then besides the very small audio issue I recently started to have but this was just barely a week ago....I would think if it was cause of the liquid damage that that would've happened earlier.....

Anyway, is there any way they can tell if it has had water damage besides the battery sticker (Because I am sending them back the bare phone, no battery, no cover, no sd, no sim--just the phone)? How are they going to check? Should I do the rice trick just to be safe?:confused::confused:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderStick:
They probably won't look farther than the sticker. If they do, they could look for corrosion or residue around the main board.

Rice won't fix that
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
Yes but like I said they are just getting the phone back, not the battery, cover, sim card or sd card--just the phone. So since the battery will never leave my house, is there any other way they can tell?

As far as corrosion, wouldn't I notice my phone not working properly? Cause like I said, ever since the spill it seems to be working just fine....
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
There is a sticker on the phone itself. It is on the back right side of the phone near the top. Kind of hard to see, but rest assure Verizon knows it's there. If you have insurance, now would be the time to use it.

Check out the attached pics of where the sticker is. Sorry it's blurry, my camera is old and crappy :p
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
Underneath the battery, correct? What should the sticker look like when its dry and what should it look like when it has had liquid damage?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
If they take apart the phone (or even just remove the back housing) then it will be very easy to see liquid damage, if any exists. I just replaced the screen on a thunderbolt a couple days ago, very easy to remove the back and take a look. If you want to check yourself, just get a torx 6 screwdriver, a thin flat head or knife to remove the "void" sticker and take a look for yourself before you find yourself on the receiving end of a $600 bill. Check YouTube for a video on taking it apart, it's very easy though.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
How does Verizon check though? What are they going to look for?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
Corrosion, internal liquid indicators. I don't think the T'bolt has any internal stickers, but some phones do.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
OK I do not see the sticker you are talking about....snapped a few pics with my work camera, what do you think:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
It's on the side of the phone. You'll have to tilt the phone to see it. It's white with red spots on it. If it got wet, its completely red. That will be the first thing they look for.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
I stared at my phone for nearly 15 minutes and cannot find any stickers that are white, red or white and red. I don't see anything. I got my Thunderbolt on launch day (3/17/11). Is it possible the launch day Thunderbolts are different somehow?

Let me know if you need me to upload more pics, I can do that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
Well, mine has a sticker there. Perhaps yours didn't come with one, or fell off at some point, but after looking a bit closer to your picture, I don't see one either.

Either way, specially since it was beer, they will be able to tell if anything got in there. Rice won't get beer out, it'll be sticky either way.

I personally wouldn't take the chance.

If you have insurance, now would be a good time to use it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
Nothing is sticky at all and the phone works fine. Are they going to completely take the phone apart??
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
If they suspect anything they will. Did they mention anything about water damage? What was originally wrong with the phone?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
A small audio problem that is like teeny rattling I hear when other people call me
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
There is no sticker on the Thunderbolt, I just talked to Verizon. They go by judging the prongs that the battery hits and if they are corroded, then they charge full retail.

Mine look super gold though and appear to be okay imo......
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
That's really odd. I had a sticker there... The replacement I just got has one in the sale place too... Of course the Verizon rep didn't even know what a bootloader was... Go figure...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
Can you post a picture of your sticker so I know what I'm looking for? Maybe my new tb will have one.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
You probably just damaged the earpiece speaker, which is pretty simple to replace and would only cost a few bucks. I can't say for sure, but I imagine the earpiece speaker is the same one that's in the EVO 4G or HD2.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrocker23:
The phones do have stickers, it is located right next to the two gold prongs on the upper right corner of the phone.

If your that worried about a full charge for the phone and since this issue may be related to the beer spilling on it, just use your insurance and pay the $99 deductible. Its better then getting hit with $600 charge.

Sometimes when liquids are spilled on a phone, it could take a little time for it to affect a phone.

Good luck

Edit: Make sure you select Galaxy Nexus 4G_LTE under device profile

What's new:

Data statistics are now fixed

Random FC/Reboot after shutting off tether should be fixed

WPA2 issues should be fixed.

THANKS SO MUCH!

This is from my laptop tethered...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bocaJWho:
From the development thread (can't post a url yet since I'm a newb) there seem to be a few bugs:

Widely confirmed is that total data use since last reboot is reported, not session use.

Some people have reported random reboots after shutting down tethering.

Mixed success in setting up a secure wifi connection.

All that being said, I am incredibly happy to see development on the LTE version moving ahead so quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aatrek:
I'm getting this message when running it, and then a force-reboot. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Does anyone else have the problem where your phone restarts after stopping the tether?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidHam:
My wifi tether keeps crapping out after about 10 minutes with security on, works fine without security. Is this a known issue?

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

Am i the only one losing connection? I just downloaded ~300 mb of a file and then I see a message on my phone saying "Wifi tether has been granted SU permission" and it shut off. Is it something to do with the screen off settings? Or my SetCPU being clocked at 350mhz when screen is off?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djones722:
This happened to me today. I ran it for the first time today. Once I turned it off, my phone started the cycle with the Samsung startup screen. Once it was back on, I had no data connection. I thought the tethering app busted something, but it turns out VZW is/was having a massive 3G/4G data outage at the same time.

Anyone else have this restarting issue? I'm probably not going to run the wi-fi tethering app again if that's going to happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGotTheRuns:
Works great here. Thanks!

What about dual booting to boot muti roms
[LG Thrill 4G] rdannar:
You would need custom kernel or custom recovery.
[LG Thrill 4G] bzzybfrm313:
Like doomed or thrillz kernal? What else would i need, want to have selfkang on dual boot
[LG Thrill 4G] lastdeadmouse:
Actually, you'd need a custom bootloader. Not custom like someone already made it. Custom like custom.

Sent from my almost cm7 p925
[LG Thrill 4G] rdannar:
No, not a custom bootloader, but a recovery that is custom. You can change or add a script that manages what rom is booting. I have made the roms for x10 and doomlord made the recovery to for them on a locked bootloader. And the init of kernel needs to,be tweaked to match both roms
[LG Thrill 4G] lastdeadmouse:
That does make sense. Sorry was speaking from my many years with Linux and bad :).

[LG Thrill 4G] romasalah:
I HAD AN X10 BUT DOOM haven't made a dual boot recovery for us..you meant boot manager?
[LG Thrill 4G] rdannar:
zhidzu made the main one for everyone to play with and a few of us used it/tweaked it to make dual roms when camera wasn't working well on gingerbread roms. z made it easy with the chargemon script (doom is a master of scripts) that could be tweaked to do all kind of things

Their was a miui one. Superaosp. Cm7 one

Z is da man of x10 world... But doom did a lot too with ramdisk, scripts, reboot widget, kernels, Boot menu, and more

Is anyone else noticing that their "permanent" notifications are randomly disappearing?

Specifically, I'm running LBE privacy (an app that blocks other apps access to phone ID, location, contacts, etc.) And the notification icon disappears after awhile. I think the app crashes too at that point.

Additionally, I have several tasker notifications, and after awhile, the notifications disappear, even though tasker is still running and the notification task is still running.

Everything worked fine on my Atrix, and I don't know if this is a bug with ICS or the nexus. I have the LTE version and have it unlocked, rooted, with cwm, but everything is stock otherwise. I'm not running any task killers.

Anyone else seeing something like this?

Anyone?
