I've had this a couple of times already. Usually just turning the screen off and on a couple of times does the job (the issue seems to be with the driver, also on various custom roms). Just try it after each off-on cycle, most of the time it takes no more than two or three tries, though there are exceptions.
[Acer Iconia A500] prodigi1:
Thanks, but it has been rebooted many many times since it's demise.

Decided to skip sleep tonight and keep plugging away.

I found an update.zip recovery file for an a501. Figured I can't do much worse so I went ahead and ran it.

It froze at about 95% but.........

Good News:

The tablet is responsive and touch panel works again.

Bad News:

It boots straight into system settings and although you can open the settings menu, nothing actually launches.

Decided to try all of the old update.zips and still everything fails.

No more ADB response.
[Acer Iconia A500] cruise350:
When you originally unrooted your device did you revert back to the stock recovery or did you leave cwm on your device?? If you left cwm on your device that may be the problem with the update.zips and OTAs.
[Acer Iconia A500] prodigi1:
You are sooo right. I've never gone back to a stock rom before and I completely forgot about reverting to the stock recovery.

As a matter of fact, I was on Civato's Flexstriker 3.2.1 rom with the new CWM before I reverted back to the stock rom.

Well, at least we've determined my stupid mistake, but now the question lies: "How do I get back to any working rom?"
[Acer Iconia A500] prodigi1:
Here's an update. I did find an update.zip file that also begins to load but does not finish. It stops at 95% still.

I will attach the photos in case someone notices something otherwise I am at a loss. In addition to all of the above, I tried everything I could to get into APX mode but nothing. I am willing to try almost anything at this point, so all suggestions are appreciated.

Something I noticed was the recovery for the a501 was android with gears spinning in the body. The recovery I have now is a package with an arrow. The recoveries are different. The current update file is Acer_A500_1.145.05_COM_GEN1

So this brings me to a question: Can I put Thor's 1.6 CWM back on the a500 and at least work from there? I do have my original backups and thought I might be able to get somewhere that way.
[LG Optimus 3D] zizouth:
Hi,

I was attracted by the features of O3D, I bought it and trust the date provided by LG for upgrade.

Unfortunately, with the dates announced by LG for ICS (September 2012 at best) is the straw that broke the camel!

I even tried my own builds upon the rom without success, as LG provided virtually no sources ..

I decided to exchange my O3D against a galaxy SII, its cost me nothing ... and I was surprised to see that Samsung has already publish ICS beta rom perfectly usable as daily use. I use now CM9 and is perfect, in short I am no longer frustrated:).

I encourage every member of this forum to do the same thing, for LG understands that we must not take these customers for idiots!

Wish you best for 2012, goodbye all++

PS: ICS is very very beautifull!!
[LG Optimus 3D] sak500:
Nice good for you. I'm getting frustrated with O3D as well. After the initial awe of 3D is over it's just plain slow even with some custom roms. AFter GB update it sometimes has missed out calls and it doesnt ring, camera still takes ages to come up. Less and less updates from LG and list goes on. But i wouldn't change it now since Galaxy SIII is supposed to be launching this quarter or other phones with quad core. So might as well go for something better.
[LG Optimus 3D] wesam32003:
U r right but i'm not waiting the ICS rom so i'm gonna stay with LGO3D
[LG Optimus 3D] exceleth:
Oh guys, I got rid of my O3D as well, but not for GSII, for the mighty Galaxy Nexus..

As a loyal Nexus One user once, I have really missed the Nexus experience, and I must say, LG really really sucks big time.

You have to experience the zero lag experience of this phone, especially the zero lag camera shutter is amazing. You click, and bamm, you have your photo taken, and back to shutter mode in absolutely no time.

And ICS rocks of course.

What a loss with O3D..
[LG Optimus 3D] omgomg:
I would not exchange it for a SII, it's not a worthy trade.

But my patience with this handset has reached its limit. It has been a torturing experience using this phone so far, and it has all been due to the constant MAJOR bugs LG adds to its ROMs.

It's unbelievable we get the ghost calls and sms on a V21 ROM, and the loads of problems previous ROMs had before make us expect nothing positive from LG.

I'm hugely disappointed by LG and though I'm sticking with this phone for a while more until I decide what to buy next, one thing is for sure, LG terminals are a no-go.
[LG Optimus 3D] CliveEP:
Cool, you pays yer money, you makes your choice.

I on other hand have just gotten rid of a Samsung product - the galaxy tab - due to woeful support and buggy software. You think lg are the only ones to delay and pre-release software?

The s2 is a great phone but the optimus 3D is fine for my needs, and ics isn't stable enough yet so I can wait. I bought the device knowing it was on froyo so I can't say I'm too aggrieved!

Good luck with your S2!
[LG Optimus 3D] 314:
Isnt the SGSII much more expensive than the O3D (At least in Australia. Prepaid O3Ds go for ~$400 while prepaid SGS2s go for at least 550.)

I don't actually like the look of ICS - It looks too simple. I also don't see why people want ICS so badly, Quite alot of apps don't support it, and there isn't much new features that cant be done better by Non-ICS apps.

Most custom launchers already have the functions of the ICS launcher, most with extra features as well.

Cyanogenmod pretty much has Swipe to dismiss notifications.

Swype is much better than the ICS keyboard imo.

Face unlock and the better voice input engine are pretty much the only things custom apps cant add to GB/Froyo (Neither of which has much use. Face unlock can also be unlocked by a photo.)
[LG Optimus 3D] exceleth:
Thats why I have turned back to Nexus Nation. No need to worry about the crap that manufacturers put in their firmwares. Pure Google, Pure satisfaction ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] MABManZ:
To each his own, I guess.

ICS would be nice but I'm in no rush...heck I don't even see any difference in Gingerbread from Froyo (except better camera quality which is not even because of Gingerbread)

Phone works great and I love the 3D so I'm staying put
[LG Optimus 3D] Evil Slayer:
yeah...we all know that galaxy sii come with better support and software in both community and from factor...but still i have the 3D and at least cm7 is coming and the current roms are good enough...and im willing to wait another 9 months or so to get my ICS

so i'll stick with the optimus 3D for now...i would choose it over galaxy SII any day

but its a matter of personal taste and preferences :)
[LG Optimus 3D] Bigstone78:
The price of O3D has been dropping in the online stores lately (around 300-400 euros atm), and I've been thinking of buying one to replace my Nokia N900. But reading these posts makes me think it's not that smart, even the price isn't that bad.

I really like the N900, but I think I need a new toy. And 1080p video recording. And no, I don't want to buy SGS2, as even my boss has one. :)
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
No thanx. Have had a SGSII before O3D and I like O3D better.
[LG Optimus 3D] nahedd_h:
O3D is the best of the best

I had used many mobiles including Sgs2 , and i can say with full open mouth that optimus 3d is the best among of all
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
So am I. Wait for my next ROM version. What I can say is that a new phone was born.
[LG Optimus 3D] winb87:
O3d roms ftw.
[LG Optimus 3D] cool_recep:
I would change for Evo 3D
[LG Optimus 3D] jimakos29:
Why change it with a p[hone as sluggish as hell, full of bad quality hardware and crappy 3d? just because of the custom roms? Bottom line is that (almost) no custom rom is as stable as stock ones any brand you go see. Sure i like custom roms too just for the freedom of choosing but srsly evo3d? I've seen it in action with a hell lot of custom roms (my brother has one) and it is not half as good as o3d. My bro is so jealous of my o3d that he keeps asking me to swap phones
[LG Optimus 3D] Barracuda77777:
Was going for SGII, but after trying Cyanogen Mod I happy with this phone again, Zero Lag.

Just for fun I called LG, I knida call them every week for fun to tease them.

thinking about it now I should have taped the phone calls and put them out on you tube. very funny stuff.

Last call to LG:

me: when will Gingerbread for Australia will be released?

Op: it is has been released already

Me: really?

Op: yes

Op: you do this, then you do that. (installing software on the computer for the update)

me: can you please ask your tech guy please?

op: okay give me 2 minutes

after 10 minutes on hold

op: oh I am sorry but I made a mistake, the gingerbread will not be released for another 3 weeks.

me: another 3 weeks? why???????

op: they are doing final testing to make sure it is 100%

me: oh, so it the same as froyo where they tested and it is still buggy????

op: foryo???? what is Froyo???

me: you are kidding, right???

op: LG uses Android and the delay is from Google and not us, and the problems with the phone is because Android is Buggy

me: Thank you for the information, have a nice day!!!!
[LG Optimus 3D] Evil Slayer:
i said it earlier and i say it again...i can't wait :D

and as many would disagree...actually i still think its early to give up on this awesome device :D

---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 AM ----------

wow...that bad huh! X)
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Hahahahaha very good indeed, gonna start to do the same.
[LG Optimus 3D] ThiaiZ:
Like I said before, you guys will see me here until 2013 of course if the world doesn't end in December :-), so if everybody give up or not ThiaiZ ROM will still be rolling out. Instead of buying another phone this year, I am planning to buy any Windows 8 tablet if they really become real.
[LG Optimus 3D] rebelwarrior:
What can i say our o3d is UNIQUE and galaxy sii is just another dualcore smart phone I'd say one of many
[LG Optimus 3D] nahedd_h:
You are the best man . keep your good hard work
[LG Optimus 3D] charliegaz94:
3D No Thanks!

I got my LG Optimus 3D the first week it came out! I loved it. I showed the 3D off to all my friends!

...That got old very fast -_-

Eventually the Gingerbread update was announced and a month after the release date I finally got it! Immediately Rooted it and got rid of ALL the 3D Features! I even found a tutorial that show how to turn that stupid 3D Carousel button into a CAMERA BUTTON! <3

Very Happy with my O3D, wouldn't trade it for the world. Runs Custom ROM's pretty slow. I just use the stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 software (minus the LG crap and other bloatware).

Amazingly Fast Phone! Can't wait for ICS! :D
[LG Optimus 3D] MABManZ:
Good to see you are happy but I don't get how 3D photos/video loses it's appeal over time...I always take video/photos in 3D and I'll play every game using the 3D converter if it's supported and runs fast.
[LG Optimus 3D] XxKillerKev7xX:
Hey guy's I am just here to express my opinions not sides lol

So I got my Optimus 3D in september and I was really loving it showing 3D off to all of my friends it became really old really quick, then I heard GB in november I got really excited then november pasted and then december etc.. Its BS there skipping the GB updating and going to ICS in Q3 of 2012 I got sick of LG and waiting I decided I was going to cell my phone for the S2 and be much better off faster CPU,Screen,GPU etc.... and I am currently in the process of selling my phone for 350 and getting the s2 at 400. I am super excited and know I wont be let down I suggest that you guy's do the same as LG does not support there products they just cash in money and make you deal with the phone and cant update for 2 years. I seriously hope you guy's take this into consideration and I hope you guy's have a good 2012.

XxKillerKev7xX OUT OF THE LG SCENE PEACE! **unless my s2 deal doesnt go down well**

p.s Got really tired of the the baseband **** couldn't get rogers working on GB

Hope u guy's are cool peace

[LG Optimus 3D] quarlow:
So glad I took back my Thrill (att branded optimus 3D) for the GS II. Best decision I ever made in mobile devices. My battery lasts all day, my Bluetooth headset works every time, people comment on the thinness and lightness of my phone vs thick and heavy, I can use my phone one handed without hurting my hand, if I don't like the ROM I'm on there are countless more, people still complimemt the screen, and this one doesn't provide headaches. The 3D was borderline, definitely first Gen tech, narrow viewing angles, nothing that wasn't shot on the phone ever played viewably. Samsung has their act together, LG (like a lot of the xda community) is trying to forget this phone, and move on.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
Are you sure you just didn't have a bad phone? My bluetooth devices always work fine, it never hurts my hand using it single handed, the 3D effect is great and anything filmed in true 3D always blows people away when they see it on the phone.

Viewing angle is better than evo 3D but still not brilliant I agree but still fine for watching films.

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] quarlow:
In the Thrill forum there was several people, and on other forums too. It was with stereo Bluetooth headsets. It would work for a week after flashing a new ROM (at the time we only had one), then the connection would drop randomly. You could be in the middle of a call, or listening to music, heaven help you if a call came in while listening to music, in that scenario the phone answers the call, doesn't route it to the headset, or speaker on the phone, then freezes so you cannot end call, requiring a battery pull. The times it dropped connection you had to turn off headset, turn off Bluetooth, turn on Bluetooth, turn on headset, sometimes repeat this process several times to regain connection or reboot. I didn't see anyone comment on the Thrill forums to say they didn't have the issue, when specifically using a stereo Bluetooth headset. This would happen to me several times a day. But if I flashed back to stock, or did a factory reset and reflashed the same ROM it would work perfectly for a week. It did this like clockwork 3 times, and I finally returned it on my last day for exchanges. At the time I didn't know about att's policy to let you try a new device after 3 returns. Had I known I would have tried a new phone, but I didn't want to be stuck so I jumped. Plus I wasn't the only one having that issue. The GB update may fix it, but here we are 3 months later, GB over a year old and att doesn't even have a date for the update. Overall I'm glad I jumped.

As far as hurting my hand, the weight of the phone literally made it so I had to use the phone two handed while I was lying in bed (browsing the web, watching movies, etc), or my hands would ache. Maybe my hands are just weak...lol.

I tried several SBS 3D movies and they all looked the same. The 3D effect was there, but there was a "break" in the middle of the screen, where the 3D effect didn't line up. It was like my eyes were spaced incorrectly, I couldn't find a distance that holding the phone would eliminate this (another issue some others seemed to have). Anything shot with the phone didn't have this artifact. I saw someones Evo3D and the 3D on the Thrill seemed better. But, that isn't much consolation.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[LG Optimus 3D] mistermentality:
Ah I have stock uk gingerbread optimus not thrill version so some problems could be rom related but was just asking as I have had no problems using mine.

I think thrill must be quite different as my countries version is great watching 3D. I know software can make a big difference as camera app is awful and yet if I use a different camera app the pictures are so much better.

I don't understand why manufacturers don't just release one version of a phone rather than regional variations. I can see what you mean about weight though, its fine for me but if I watch a long film I tend to prop phone up as it would probably be awkward for me holding phone so long too.

Glad they didn't make optimus the same size as a galaxy note though lol

Dave
[LG Optimus 3D] coolfi:
Having had the phone for a while and tried both gs2 and o3d, I can understand why some of you are frustrated with this phone, sadly I have to agree with the support part is quite dismal from LG you would expect alot more from them especially on a flagship handset, broken promises and lagging behind updates, and not to mention lack of new 3d content on lg-world.

However the phone itself is brilliant and if you can bear late updates and poor support this phone really is the best of em all.

What we need is better boot-loader maybe from community so it can't be bricked, and if the drivers issues can be solved then the support from community is most likely will be better. We can also do with 3d ui rather than a part of it.
