I have been experiencing Sleep of Deaths at random times using default kernel. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wkpark:
Im not related Nvida nor LG.

this ODM/NVRM tegra kernel 3.0.8 is just brought out by me for personal purpose.

feel free to feedback to me at the original posting ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
Is this during charging? If so you need to check off the "Do not Sleep during charging" boolean. It's under Settings -> Developer Options -> Stay Awake
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Up the voltage on the undervolting settings the kernel comes with. Some phones are really picky.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Maybe, my phone was just sitting at my desk and then just no signal. I didn't drop it or anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hesher:
where can I find these voltage settings?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
Use an application like SetCPU or Pimp My CPU. I use CPU Master (free).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hesher:
In all of these apps, it does not let me put the voltage higher then the default. only lower... any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
On a T-Mobile SIM, on the back of it, where the gold chip is located, does anyone else have 3 vertical lines going about 3/4 of the way through the chip? From top to bottom...

I do, I've never noticed it, looks like grooves made by the contacts from the slot that the SIM fits into. Like it was smooshed.

Someone check please!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hidden_dragon:
Yes...that is normal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Then I am at a complete loss for words...I haven't done anything to the phone that would cause this.

Is there a default T-Mobile APN that I can view? I'm going to try and create a new one and see what happens.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hidden_dragon:
It should be epc.tmobile.com. Here's a guide too: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1976
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I added a new one, shouldnt I be able to AT LEAST select the other APN's on the list? I know I used to be able to in the past when I would use a Simple APN. But right now, once I enter the APN screen, I can only hit the check box, nothing more.

Even after adding the new TMO APN, I cannot edit or even select the other two APNs.....still no signal by the way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
All i can suggest is do a clean wipe and flash the stock rom. I think there's still a link for it in that thread for flashing the July baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
I already stated that apns can't be edited in 1.4, its an issue. Did you try the nullifier and reflashing without the new kernel like I suggested in my last reply?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Did that twice.

I guess I didn't see you're other posts. The only thing I can think of is that my SIM went bad, which is not even a month old!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Rereading my post it came acrossed aggressive, not intended. My boss thinks I should be working instead of on my phone so the post was rushed.

Have anyone near you with a T-Mobile phone you could swap sims with?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Unfortunately no! All these a-holes with their Iphones, haha. Engineers seem to swear by Iphones!

I took everything out of the phone and I'll wait for a few minutes. When I get home, I have WIFI, I'll try to test it out again but I don't know what to expect...

If my SIM failed, WIFI will NOT help me, correct? But if my SIM is good, and I get a signal with WIFI only, does that mean that something is wrong with my phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Did you try a different RIL and a battery pull already? If so and if it is SIM related try flashing a stock ROM. Stock ROMs update the SIM settings better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Do you have a cell connection? Not data just cell tower. If wifi won't connect and cell tower isn't connecting either then your ril may have been jacked up somehow or the actual radio hardware on the phone may have crapped out. Easiest way to test it would be with another sim card. They're free if you have a problem with your current one, stopping at T-Mobile on the way home might save an extra trip later.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
How would I be able to tell if i have a cell connection, and what is cell tower? Sorry I'm not too familiar with a lot of the terms.. I can't call 611, I cant connect to any WIFI because the ones I am picking up are password protected.

I have a friend who manages a TMO store, I'll head over tonight.

Running GetRIL now and it seems to be getting hung up. It says that the RIL is Initializing but nothing is happening...The database isnt updating either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
If you have a cell but no data connection you can make calls and text without issue. You're wifi seems to be working since you can see wireless connections around you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Oh alright I gotcha, but no, no cell or data. I'm doing another factory reset, not sure why I'm doing this, but maybe something will happen.

I loaded up HFP a little while ago also, same problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Interesting, perhaps the local T-Mobile network is having a problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
This has happened a couple of times, but when i start up my phone, even just now after a data wipe...My APN's would be there, but neither would be selected, this was NOT like this before I installed that kernel.

I'm running HF ICS 1.4 with the stock kernel, again. I'm giving up now until I talk to T-Mobile later.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hesher:
Could someone please answer my question about how to increase voltage? All the CPU apps that I have tried do not allow me to increase, just decrease.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Do you have a nandroid that you know had working apns? You could jump to that, although flashing another rom should have the same effect technically.

Sorry you're not up and running, hopefully things get settle for ya and you can be zipping along with some ICS goodness soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Is your kernel able to have the voltage be increased?

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

I've done that Nvidia flash thing when I first rooted, I know that created a backup but I don't know how to retrieve it. I really hope I didn't fry this thing, it was brand new for $200.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Nope. I was thinking 2 things when I made that post earlier. At stock kernel settings you can only undervolt. I was thinking of it being UVed more than stock. I believe faux has a SV version of the kernel as well as the UV version. If the voltages are what's causing the lock ups then switching to the SV kernel may help.

Sorry for that confusion. Glad you asked cause I forgot to correct that.

That would suck, its probably the sim card, no reason to assume the worst just yet lol. Oh and when you do get up an running make a nandroid for emergencies.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hesher:
I am using the default kernel that comes with 1.4 and experiencing SOD's. Should I change my kernel? If so, which do you recomend?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
The default kernel is fauxs cm UV beta5 if I'm not mistaken. You could try the cm SV beta5 and see how that works for ya.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/1654-g2x...oofeb-14/page__st__270__p__509807#entry509807

Thats the kernels.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hidden_dragon:
Good advice. Also, Faux is not supporting any of the non-SV kernels since they affect individual phones differently. First thing I did after flashing this rom and installing SetCPU was to change all of the voltage back to 0.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
It's a forward ported CM9 kernel I believe. I didn't check the link thiugh. Use it, anything is better than faux's IMO.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] hesher:
Thanks, installed it. Hopefully i wont get any more Sods
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jblah:
just thought i would share a boot animation with you all

DL Here
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Looks awesome. Installed, excellent job.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
+1 awesome
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluenote73:
1) Messing with your APNs is useless if you don't have any cell service, so forget about data for the moment.

2) What you describe is suspiciously like what I've seen people say when they have f-ed up their baseband by flashing stuff meant for O2X.

What does yours say in about phone (or wherever it is in CM9 .. I went back to GB because I need stability and video decoding etc)

3) if your partition table is screwed up (related to #2) then reflashing a rom won't fix it.

I'm not particularily educated about the above but if you didn't just win the unlucky lottery at the same time as you flashed a kernel thats mainly for O2X then I would say it's something along these lines. You will have to look at flashing a KDZ in some fashion or another I think and/or repairing your partition table. at least you should know what to start searching on if any of this rings a bell.

EDIT: Did the cell service on the phone work at all after your kernel flash? Because I can imagine a circumstance where, you're using wifi, and don't even notice no cell service...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hitman818:
Can anyone tell me how to install the new bootanimation? Do I just replace the default bootanimation in system/media with the new one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Yes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hitman818:
It seems there is a bug with google play. I cant install any app, it says that there's an error. I used aokp and this rom and they both have the same error, so Im guessing its the play store.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Gilligan87:
Has anyone gotten full functionality out of Voodoo with this ROM? I only seem to be able to use the amplifier; no EQ or bass boost show up in anywhere in Voodoo Sound or Voodoo Sound Plus.

Could this possibly be a kernel issue? I am using whichever one came with Hellfire Sandwich about two weeks ago.

Also if anyone knows anything about making DSP manager cooperate in this ROM, any kernel that might make it work alongside Voodoo, etc. I would be eternally grateful ^_^
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
Voodoo only ever had the amplifier for this phone. Use DSP manager for EQ's and such.

Sent from Narnia
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Gilligan87:
Good to know.

Unfortunately DSP Manager does nothing at all in my phone's current state. Tried cranking bass up to max and messing the EQ all over the place; nada :confused:

EDIT: DSP Manager just magically started working! :eek::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::eek: It has insisted upon doing nothing at all for the past two weeks, and when you reply, boom, magic.

Mechanic's effect, what what? o_O
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Caliyork:
I was getting that problem, too. If you've got titanium installed, use it to wipe play store data. If not, go to manage apps in settings and wipe data from there. If its still a no go after multiple wipes, reboot into recovery, wipe data and reflash gapps. If every combo of all those things fail, try flashing the gapps from march 4th. Market will update itself eventually in that case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
When I went to the T-Mobile store, my sim card works in another phone...they seem to think that my IMEI was banned.

I guess T-Mobile does that to people who haven't paid their bill, they deactivate the phone. Right now I'm on wifi but I still can't use the phone, only email and internet, probably text too I haven't tried.

I guess T-Mobile will ban an IMEI
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Yea paying the bill is the sure fire way to get service. Was going yo ask but didn't want to offend.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
No no no....since this phone was used when I got it, the IEMI was previously registered...I had simple mobile for a while then went to T-Mobile about 3 weeks ago with this device.

According to the manager at tmo, the original account holder for this device when LAST REGISTERED, could be responsible for the IEMI being terminated.

Services closed for lack of pay hits the SIM, this is hitting the device.

Whoever held this device before me could have screwed up their T-Mobile account, leading them to cut off the IEMI registered to that person...weird I know.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
My mistake, I understand and knew that. I know that if you pay off the balance on the previous account or pay for the phone thru T-Mobile they'll unlock it.

Oh and yes I stalk this thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Pay the previous balance...that is the biggest crock I've ever heard. I need to talk to them tomorrow and make sure this is exactly what happened. I was looking up the symptoms of the IMEI lock and I'm supposed to get an error stating sim not capable or something like that.

In my notification bar, I got No Service at the bottom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
They offer the balance payment to sway people from canceling accounts then starting new ones with old phones. This is all speculation though, just what I've heard.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
damn I'm really curious now, I wonder how they justify me paying someone else's mistake.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
I'm sure they word it nice and fancy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I'll probably argue my way into something in my favor. I'll report back, can only do online chat with them at work.

Alien is on...nuff said!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yourwhiteshadow:
wanted to mention this the other day, but got a little bit busy. i've been experiencing the following problems:

-after talking on the phone for like 15-20 minutes, the phone gets super hot, and a 20 minute phone call will drop battery life from 97%-80%

-Wifi calling works really well now, except, both in wifi calls and regular cell tower calls, people tell me that my mic is low.

running on the stock kernel that comes with the ROM, if it means anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] estylo:
I'm getting a lot of random shut downs and when some1 calls me, when I click to answer...it just keeps ringing and ringing until the person hangs up or Voicemail.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Redownload the ROM then wipe using the Nullifier (link in my sig) and reflash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] da-pharoah:
so this is unrelated to your post lol but glad to see another HD2'er in here.. That was the best dam phone of my life with the dual boot!!! But I do love the G2x, but it would be dam nice to have dual boot!!!

Do it I dare you!!

and yea for sure TOG get at me im running it right now as a matter of fact...

I didnt see you post this and if so I missed it but what kernel are you using?

and which voltages do you want to increase??

yes but make sure your permissions are correctly looking like a backwards 7(rw-r-r--) or it wont work... Use a root file explorer and sure they look like this:

x x o

x o o

x o o

and then you will be good

how often do you reboot your phone? and did you use

The Nullifier

before flashing???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Caliyork:
Try using GetRIL in the play store to help with the mic volume issue. I've also heard reports that the right RIL plus the July baseband helps with battery life. In addition, you can try flashing a different kernel with some underclocking settings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] netsecdude:
Is nullifier better then the g2x scrubber? I wouldn't think so,but haven't looked at the scripts.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Bull****, My IMEI is blocked...this is what TMO has to say:

I'm at work so I cant call them, but supposedly a supervisor cannot help me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] timmyjoe42:
Why would they block an IMEI number instead of the other user's sim card, unless the device was stolen? Sounds like it's time to unlock the device and switch to another provider.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
I have no clue, I got this phone like 3 months ago! Why would the person wait until now to do something like that, if he did report it lost or stolen.

I'm looking up how to unlock the phone, I guess there are also options to change the IMEI.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Ouch.. that sucks. But from what I have seen you do get better response from calling them vs the chat on-line.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
The only thing is that I can't do that while here at work, maybe on lunch though...I need to speak to a supervisor, this is bogus.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
I think they'll block phones when people fail to complete their contract too (and don't pay the cancellation fee). It's kinda their version of repoing. Sucks that it ends up screwing you over.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Yea, but HOW can they possibly justify doing this when someone else entirely is using the device? I can only relate this to one thing; if you buy a car for cash privately, then all of a sudden the repo man comes and says the car is behind on payments and is being taken to settle the debt. haha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
Basically, yes. I'm not defending them, but their logic is that that is their phone until you complete the contact. That person basically sold you a stolen phone. T-Mobile is hoping you'll go after him and get him to settle his bill in order to get the phone reactivated.

The only difference between this and buying a car that's up for repo, is I'd hope you'd ask for a title on a car....otherwise, yes, the repo man is coming for you ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Crazy crap...I'll see what happens, but im not expecting much. I may just end up buying another phone haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Yep . That sums it up --- unfortunately, for stevew84

So glad I bought my phone outright and signed up for a value plan 'cause anyway I was going to void the warranty for sure :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
I wonder if the previous owner made an insurance claim on the phone and it just took a while for the insurance company to flag the device as lost/stolen?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
When you buy a phone off the street, but then you give Tmobile the IMEI and register it to you're phone number...shouldn't that be good enough? Why would they still cut it off after that?

I did everything correctly through the Tmobile store when i signed up, just brought in my own phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Good point. Raise it when you talk to TMO. i.e. They should have told you that it belonged to someone else when you signed up, and refused to sign it up under your name then, not now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jblah:
push come to shove, just take a hammer to the phone and collect the insurance and force them to give you a new one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] netsecdude:
I thought that this forum was for trouble shooting hellfires ICS?? Not trying to be an ass, just saying. I've posted a few questions and they never seem to get answered because of rants like this taking up the forum.

:D

My question was:

Is nullifier better then the g2x scrubber? I wouldn't think so,but haven't looked at the scripts.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Damnit it sucks that I cant call these people right now! I'm talking to another person online and im giving him sh!t, but he isn't budging.

I brought up the fact that I registered the phone while in store, but he said that nothing would pop up and no flag would be raised bla bla bla.

He keeps telling me to go into the store and buy another phone, this all seems like a big stunt to get people to buy more devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
Well not to be an ass also but nullifier questions should go in the nullifier thread. To answer it though, yes its better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Last thing I'll say about this subject, but please tell me how in the hell this makes any sense...

So they can't see who the owner is based on the IMEI, but then when the previous owner calls in, with a phone number, this IMEI shows up....Why can't I just call in and say i owned the phone, I've changed numbers, here is the old IMEI, find out the number for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] netsecdude:
Someone mentioned it on this thread. Just wondering. Plus I'm not going to ask the person if his product is better than the other. I already know the answer to that question. That's like asking HellFire if EaglesBlood has a better Rom. I would rather ask other people that's used both. Thanks for the info
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Found this...

1. Connect phone by USB

2. Enter 1809#*990# in dialer

3. Select Port Settings -> Select CP USB

4. Start hyperterminal, in COM settings select same port like in devide manager -> LGE mobile USB Serial Port, 115200

5. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number

6. Type at%imei, it should display your current IMEI

7. Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x , where x,x,x... is your orginal IMEI number

8. Reset

i'm never test it but if you have lost IMEI you can try this :)

mattfigaro

Are these commands with command prompt in windows?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
They do 2 different things essentially. Scrubber just performs the wipes you would manually do. Nullifier does a low level pass restoring the phone to the state it would have been in before T-Mobile/lg installed anything, a paper weight basically. Except cwm is still present. Much more effective.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Nullifier is a low level format of the partitions which writes 0's across every block, which is why it takes forever. Think of the basic difference as in Windows format.

Scrubber= Quick Format

Nullifier = Full Format (although it actually does more than Windows.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
1. Take look the developers signature, that should tell you something

2. The answer to your question is there in that thread second post. Decide for yourself whether you want to leave your data residue though not directly accessible via regular tools the forensic tools can recreate your data (format) or wipe the data (zero fill or random data fill - nullifier)

Q: Why not just format everything?

A: Because a format isn't intended to erase data, though to a degree does so. This script is intended and will wipe out the data and leave a clean set of partitions for a ROM to be installed to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] x0xhellx0x:
yes nullifier is 10 times more better sorry did not get to answering you sooner laptop had been down
[T-Mobile LG G2x] menting:
if you have a twitter account, try to tweet to @TMobile regarding this

they might have someone that has the authority to resolve this for you contact you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
haha, alright! I'm going to try this.

Also I was looking up that it is POSSIBLE, though not likely, that the IMEI number can change during flashing certain things.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] netsecdude:
It's all good. You mention scrubber in your instructions. That's all.

Thanks wgrant, overground, kesara and x0xhellx0x for the technical / confirming. I'm a System Engineer so I appreciate the info on the technical differences
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
The OP is old and Hell hasn't update the bits in a while, plus the nullifier is new.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Hey if I wanted to run my phone on AT&T, do I have to unlock it? Or is it already unlocked since its rooted and all that good stuff?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hidden_dragon:
While your phone is rooted, you will need it to be SIM unlocked if you want to be able to use it on another carrier's network.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
So I'm technically screwed with both Tmobile and Simple, right? I could interchange their SIMs with no problem since Simple uses Tmobil's signal.

Where can I find info on SIM unlocking?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
Also note that G2x will be restricted to GPRS data speeds (no 4G) on AT&T network because of the frequency bands
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stevew84:
Thats fine...But man ATT and Verizon are so damn expensive. I think it might just be better for me to first fight with TMO, and im thinking of calling in a pretending im the previous owner and seeing where that gets me.

If that doesn't work, I need to get another phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sleejay:
Does anyone know if the invalid sim / wifi calling will be fixed on the next release?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
I doubt it. Wifi calling works for me, but it's still really hit and miss.

There's really not enough info out there about why it's broken with some SIM cards and not with others.
