[LG Optimus Black] cartus:
Did You update via lg program? Does it wipes everything (i.e. programs, settings like a factory restore) or just updates the soft and everything else stays the same?
[LG Optimus Black] villunder:
i just updated 2 hours ago . The LG software update just update the firmware, without wipe.

But indeed i made a factory reset , just to be sure ...

Everything seems to be fine until now , just a little bit battery hungry ... about 10 % in 2 hours ... without wifi, 3G and sync on .

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

I got to correct what i said earlier about battery consumption. It is much worse...

In fact i am beginning to regret the upgrade i made.

Anyone else has the same huge battery drain ?!

[LG Optimus Black] andeld:
Is the update worth? And after i flash this update, could i use the phone on the Cosmote? I have it unlocked at the moment but was branded on Orange. I've seen that after the update the battery drain is faster than on Froyo.

I have 2.2.2 at the moment and it's working just fine. :)
[LG Optimus Black] vion77:
for me the battery is ok better than froyo! :)

my problem is with video recording lags and fps! :D
[LG Optimus Black] andeld:
I updated to 2.3.4 official, version V20f. Well, i didn't tried to rec a video but i will do it now to see if you're right. Other than that, i find this update very fine, the battery life is ok and is a lot smooth than 2.2.2.

Thanks a lot for the info! :)
[LG Optimus Black] mister_mv:
I also made the update. All looks and feel better, but I have 2 main problems:

- battery keeps me only 12 hours (before, it was about 24-30 hours)

- gallery keeps crashing if I open it and there is a new picture added. If I make a restart, it will open, but if at some point, there is another picture added into the gallery, it crashes again, until the next restart.

Any ideas why?
[LG Optimus Black] andeld:
Try to make a factory reset after the update.
[LG Optimus Black] mister_mv:
I was afraid of that. Just too many settings and apps that I didn't wanted to make them or install again :)

Anyway, I finally did it and for now all seems to be working good, so thank you.

I'm glad that this helped you! :D

how is the in-call sound quality? i had an optimus one which had perfect audio quality in-call and now i got the OB which seems very low volume compared to that.

[Galaxy S II General] DreadPirateDan:
Totally agree with you there big boy. A good example of why this is so : My Motorola milestone 2 can get pushing up to 3500 running cyanogen mod 7. A work mates galaxy s on darky rom can only get around 1900-2200.

Yet in real life performance for speed, responsiveness, game performance his galaxy s absolutely dominates my ms2.

But all the same, it's part of the android fun just trying to push those scores as high as possible for simple kicks :D

Looking forward to testing out my gf's s2 with this when I get home, thanks for the tip OP

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You can add the line in your System/build.prop file;

ro.carrier=wifi-only

You can copy it to your pc, then edit in notepad. Save, and copy it back.

Then reboot the tablet. This will tell your tab it is a 500.

or

You can run a 500 Rom, but, you may or may not get GPS.

[Acer Iconia A500] metpolds:
@Moscow..... With respect not such a good idea to use "notepad", on saving files it often screws up the formatting and new lines. Much better to use "Wordpad" or "Notepad++"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ThaChez:
heeey all,

this NOOB has got into a bit of pinch and hopes there is someone out there that might know the cause of it.

Last saterday a friend of mine rooted my Nexus.

After al that stuff was done, ive installed all my apps again including skype.

now here is the problem:

Before it was rooted it had all the contacts that i also have on the normal skype for PC.

After the rooting, i had to sync my contacts again, but this time i didnt get the contact list thats also on my normal PC, but instead i get contacts that are in my phone list.

I have also tried clearing the cache and reinstalling it up to 3 times, but still the same effect

I have tried all the 3 syncing options and none will get me my normal contacts as it used to be before it was rooted.

The version of skype that ive downloaded is 2.6.0.95

i hope there is someone out there who can help me with this problem, im getting pretty pissed of about it

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rbtrucking:
Should I format it for the phone or just leave it as it is? It is a brand new card. Reason I ask is because I had a SD card from my old evo and I didnt format it before putting it in and I ran into trouble like random reboots and force closes. I know this one is brand new and its a completely different ball game thats why I ask.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
You shouldn't need to do anything with it. HTC phones are little special as they use the SD for quite of bit of sense stuff.

This is probably a stupid question but I like using the pin lock but I hate that you have to tap ok after you enter it. Is there anyway to take out having to tap ok or any apps you guys prefer to use.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
How can I have a lockscreen and pin I have been trying to figure this out, like one of the default ones on black final vahalla and not one from like launcherpro which resets itself when you restart your phone, kind of different question i think but also similar don't wanna make another thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Kinda off topic here, but I wanna voice my opinion on these types of "security locks". I find them to be absolutely useless.

Reason: When you Odin a ROM over, everything gets erased. I'm sure everybody has friends who have phone knowledge. They can just get a friend to Odin any ROM over and your locks are gone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] reddd123:
I know but I want to prevent someone from going into my phone and viewing my texts and facebook, and I know that person has no knowledge with phone software or anything only way for him to get in is to know the security lock, as I want the pleasure and look of the lockscreen + security lock if its possible right now you can only have security lock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
To better put my question I want a similar pin lock to how the iPhone is you just enter the 4 digits and it unlocks without hitting ok. And do t say go buy an iPhone cause I don't want one just the pin lock
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I think this is the second, third??? time you have asked this.

Here you go. There is always more than one way to do things. This is one way. I use Go Launcher Ex as my launcher. There is a lockscreen app that can go with Go Launcher called GO Locker. GO Locker gives you the option to have a lockscreen and pin.

I had this issue also. However, I bootlooped my phone this morning messing with my bootloaders against FB's recommendation and had to start fresh with everything - Bootloaders, ROM, kernel (i.e. no more gremlins) - and have not had the issue since.

You can start with fixing permissions. But I am assuming my issue was caused by gremlins.

i bought my SG2 around the time it was released and gave my sim card away because i figured id just keep using the one i had..well, as you all know you need the new sim cards to be able to use wi-fi calling

i called and went to 2 different tmobile stores and they are trying to charge me $20 for it..

i have a new tmobile sim card that my friend gave me from his mytouch4g..the # on the sim is TM9703

can anyone tell me if that one will work? im currently running jug v3.69 which is android 2.3.5 so i dont have the wi-fi calling feature yet..but will upgrade my rom if it works

and if you use wi-fi calling on your SG2 but have a different sim card model please post that one so i can try to look for that one as well

thanks in advance

I have the same problem, yet I dont think wifi calling is that useful when it still uses your munutes unless you have unlimited, again, it sounds like pretty cool feature yet its useless, do you really use it or relay on it? Just a personal thought and point of view, theres a couple apps such as viber that use the feature of wifi calling but free, the only thing is that the other user needs viber app, and wifi

no..its not something i rely on at all...its more something i want in case i ever need it...i know that it uses minutes...i live in ny and went to school upstate...sometimes i go back up there and visit friends..reception may be an issue depending on where i am...some of my friends live in the boondocks lol...also its very useful if you have ever experienced being in a basement that gets no reception
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kseries88:
I was in a similar situation as you; I called up t-mobile to check and they said it was not. They said my SIM card was not up to date to use Wifi calling feature but they said a t-mobile store would give me a new SIM card for free if the t-mobile rep put it in their system that I had an old SIM card. Basically when you call t-mobile just ask them if you had the new SIM card and if not could the t-mobile rep give you a new one if you did an exchange at the store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gfaughn:
I'm not sure if that's a gba Sim or not but you can get one overnighted for free to you if you call Tmobile, I've heard through other people as well that the stores are starting to charge people for Sim cards even if the notes state issue for free.

As for it still using your minutes , that's just a matter of adding the free wifi calling feature to your account. That's free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bongostl:
Call in. When prompted why you are calling say, "Cancel my account".

Tell the operator who picks up your story.

They will mail you a free sim card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ebatr8:
False we do not overnight sim cards, sim cards go usps only so no overnight. Also they may or may not give you a sim card if they tell you no its because they don't have to. The only way they have to get you one is if you go show a store that yours is defective its worth a try to call but don't waste your time trying multiple times you may just have to pay for one, or you could try taking that new one you have to a store n telling them customer care sent you the wrong one then maybe they will trade it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
swapping at the store is a genius idea..that never occurred to me...however, before i do that im just trying to see if the TM9703 one will work or not..no sense of trading in a working sim for another sim

thanks for all the responses...still hoping to hear from someone with the 9703 or a different working sim
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ebatr8:
Wish I remembered lol I know that we can tell from the picture on them because they changed the picture starting with those ill get my new sim card out I haven't used it yet n will let u know in a couple min I have like 5 of them laying around
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gfaughn:
False. I've overnighted all the Sim cards I've replaced for a few weeks now. that'd be the easiest for this guy.

You're welcome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ebatr8:
The one that came with the gs2 is a tm9177 has a pic of a guy and girl either taking a pic of themselves or watching some hilarious video on a phone lol :P so I don't think the one you have is right because this is the same one that came with my amaze as well. If you go to the store if they don't see an order in your account and tell you that just tell them you ordered it through sales that the Rep told you the ones for prepaid will work and thats what you received. They probably wont but just incase they are that thorough they can't look up orders done through sales only customer care.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ebatr8:
Customer care has either standard mail through there shipping method which is free and the 19.99 one which is priority mail which can take 1-3 business days depending on where you are so you are wrong. The only departments that have overnight directly is sales so you are mistaken if you think customer care has overnight or that he would even get it without paying for it, especially due to the fact that there is quite a bit of outsourcers who prefer to have people get mad then go outside of standard policy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gfaughn:
Then I suggest he get transferred to tech care. We have option to overnight for free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nashwing:
Got mine overnighted from customer care with no problems. They said mine was an old one, and they'd send me a new one, no charge. I did speak with an 'american accent' CSR.

Hope the OP got an idea on what to do though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Evofusion:
Kind of off topic but wifi calling does not use minutes when you add "free wifi calling" to your account. Essentially you can talk all you want over wifi calling but you have to make sure either you or a csr adds the free wifi calling to your account otherwise they do charge.

Edit: not charge but it uses minutes if you don't have the addon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
i think im gonna call them and explain to that i gave my sim away not knowing that it was gonna be needed and see if i can get a free one

if that doesnt work ill just go to the store make up some story about how they shipped me the wrong one (the mytouch4g one that i have) and demand that they swap it for me if they dont want to

thanks for all the suggestions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tspx23:
Yeah they tried charging me twenty bucks and i went off about how their quality of customer service sucks lately and that I never knew it required a "special" sim card for wifi calling. Got one via priority mail for free :P.

Slightly off topic...but just bought my phone from Amazon and I've used the same sim card since I got my first phone in 2008...is there any reason besides the wifi calling that you would benefit from using the new sim card it comes with? As far as I can tell I've had no problems...

See amazon botched my activation or something and said that when I got my phone I would have to call T-Mobile to complete my activation...since I already would have to finagle with the sales department to get the data plan on my line locked in for two years rather than the line I used for the upgrade credit, I figured I would just "play dumb" and say that I just put in the old sim card and it worked so I figured I didn't have to call in case Amazon or T-Mobile fuss about it in the future...I'm a longtime member with immaculate accounts with both companies so I figure I will be fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdiddy_ub:
i heard that the new sim also allows you to save more contacts..500+ opposed to the 200 you get with the old ones

i assume that most people just save their contacts on google...so it doesnt matter
