[LG Nitro HD] tnap1979:
thanks V@no for some understanding...

if it wasnt for the fact the LG has put me thru so much BS, i might be happy with its hardware, but is just not as friendly as a HTC or Samsung....

htc's and samsung's i know i can recover from super easy, not have a bunch of hassle and be able to come and go quick and simple from any type of custom rom i want...

i still havent figured out if this device has a fastboot mode or anything other then recovery and download mode... ive wanted to find out how to mess with ics... but it refuses to let it boot, and where as the nexus or even my old atrix for that matter have ics, my friends gs2 has ics, and our device has been " promised " ics... but ive heard tell of lg not holding up there end of the bargain on some devices..

might also help if LG was a lil more DEV friendly with their devices as well...

HTC even gives the chance to unlock your bootloader just for that purpose

now i know that the lg p930 does have an unlocked boot loader, but the filesystem seems to not be user friendly to CWM

which makes it difficult for some work to get done if you happen to make mistakes in code or whatever

You've definitely proven that you have the attention span of a 12 year old. We all know about one developers' attempt to make ICS available, yet is unable to do so as he is nearly the only developer that works with LG devices. In other words we won't get an ICS ROM any time soon, as he is putting focus into other LG devices. Now if you also notice, he is working on a ROM for the AT&T Nitro HD, not the Bell Optimus LTE. Where does that leave us Bell users? Dumping the phone up on for-sale websites in attempt to recoup what we lost after LG screwed us with the release of the 4X. Yes, that's right, LG released their quad core phone with ICS on it... hmm...

Now you may love the IPS LCD that this phone offers. That's all fine and dandy, but when you have a $500 device in your hands, you'd expect to have some manufacturer and developer support behind it. One developer and a lack of initiative from LG to release the update has pissed off quite a few of us. We're already into March (Q2) and ICS has not been released as LG stated. As tn stated, LG devices and LG themselves are not friendly to the developer community.

I have a Bell Optimus LTE using kernelpanics rom and I have had no issues to speak of. So I'm confident that the CM9 release for the nitro (whenever it ends up releasing) will work on my phone.
[LG Nitro HD] Billy Madison:
I must say that LG's marketing is 2 blame in this poor situation. It's been 1M pieces sold in 2 month BUT it could be 3M to 5M if they have it in shops in india, china, europe and c.i.s.

P880 4X HD is gonna be available only in summer, way too long to wait. LG is digging hole for themselves, they give up market share to samsung Nexus and Note and HTC, & Xperia S

Nitro is a perfect piece of android, way better then Nexuses & other amoled s*1t and poor LG makes nothing to spread its popularity
[LG Nitro HD] tnap1979:
i agree whole heartedly, the lg p930 is amazing hardware, with crap all for proper dev support and lg's track record does not help them in this matter at all...
[LG Nitro HD] vodovodo:
well... this phone is as stable as an iphone !

coming from a galaxy kingdom " S S2 note" i can honestly say i always used to flash custom ROMs for a couple of hours but at the end of the day when i go to sleep i have the original one again for stability most of all

at least for the first time in so long i don't waste hours on flashing and restoring data and finding bugs and so on ..... till it end up restoring my backed up original rom and settings !

sure custom roms have their ups and downs but..... the phone is stable guys !

it doesn't have the crappy touchwiz or the need of lagfix ... etc

deploating fixed the lag and the battery..... what else do i want ?! since its not sense UI from HTC nor MIUI or even a worthy and heavy tweaking then i really cant see the need for Devs or to flash our phones !

but thats just me... someone enjoying one of the best screen there is on the rarest high end phone with a quality specs

BTW: anyone else tried playing MKV on this phone and galaxy note ?

trust me u will be surprised
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
is your lg gets really HOT when using gps and car charging?

or playing game and car charging? the freaking phone get really hot and it would STOP charging! you know you will run out of battery cus the freaking phone stop charging when it' HOT!

so this lg is not reliable! i switched back to my old phone samsung skyrocket! no, my skyrocket never get hot like this.
[LG Nitro HD] 8mileroad:
First off, how does me saying, basically, "stop *****ing and be patient," make me have any sort of lack of an attention span? We're all frustrated about this phone but most people who frequent here have seen enough *****ing. It's our own damn faults for buying this phone anyway. However, the phone goes a long way when you wipe the internal storage and let the battery break in. It's pretty snappy with GO Launcher and I get a full day of use now. The only problem is the lack of devs, but we've heard this a million times now. Just 21 more months to go... hopefully we'll get ICS by then.
[LG Nitro HD] vodovodo:
it does ?! is everyone else noticed this heat thing ??

i am sorry i never noticed any heat from this phone ! and this is someone always setting on an airplane watching movies and playing games for hours and using a portable charger as well !

on the other hand..... i used to suffer from heat with the galaxy S2 the international version. sometimes it was so HOT i couldnt even make a phone call from it
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
probably portable charger doesnt output that much power, that why it' doesnt overheat.

but when i using car charging, the LG does overheat. i also have samsung skyrocket, it never hot like that.

Hi - I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S II X T989D that is locked to Telus, I am finding out websites to get it unlocked.

But wanted to know if there is a rom or such out there that will provide the T-mobile Wifi Calling app so calls can be made over wifi and not come out of the bucket of minutes?

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] ebfortin:
Since having Android ICS on my Asus Transformer, and recently with CyanogenMod 9 on my Galaxy S, I noticed that from time to time, at boot, Android display a counter with the mention "Optimizing Application". I find it pretty strange.

Can anyone tell me what it is? Is it some kind of "native compilation" of darvik bytecodes? Something like ngen on the .NET Framework?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3bs11:
When I backup my app data using titanium, does it delete any old data and save the newer data over it or does it create separate files for the backups each time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Believe if you have the PRO version, you can have multiple backups for a single app. If you have the free, it overwrites.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3bs11:
I have the Pro. Is it set to overwrite by default?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'm sure it is. That'd be a big memory waster if it wasn't. Very few people would actually want this feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
Don't have my phone beside me; but in Preferences you can set the maximum number of b/u's. Once you reach whichever number you set it to, it will begin to overwrite. As mentioned above, it does mean more space taken up, but there's an option (defaulted to "on" I believe) that backs up the apk once only, so you're not using even more space by continually backing up huge apps, but are backing up their associated data.

^a little long winded, when I'm tired I suck at explaining **** efficiently or even using periods instead of an explosion of commas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3bs11:
Yeah I actually only want one backup for each app. Thanks for the feedback guys

My friend has an HTC Sensation that he rooted and tried to put an ics rom on. I tried to help him as I have rooted 3 different types of phones and installed several custom roms on them. I updates the firmware and that broke the phone. I fixed by running the 1.50 ruu. Unlock with htcdev and installed cwm. Can't get s off or get roms to boot. Please advise.

[HTC Sensation] status_six:
Unfortunately htc.dev only unlocks part of the bootloader and you can't flash radio.img or boot.img to the device. Revolutionary will not work on htc.dev unlocked device, and roms may not boot unless official htckernel (boot.img) is used.

Solution is to run your ruu again, and start over using the thread posted above. If that fails there is a way to recover the device, I'll find a link and post it.

OK yes try to relock - its part of the guide posted above. Its a bit of a process but shown to work!

So I finally got the virtuous rom to work by using adb to flash the boot.img and that rom is working. Can't get the bootloader to lock back so I can root with revolutionary or use an ruu. Frustrated.
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
OK so you have bootable rom and working recovery? Next you need to flash the 2.3.3 rom according to the instructions in the guide posted above. This will downgrade and relock bootloader, you should then be able to s-off & root.

Hey guys. Im running the 02/23/12 nightly.

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing lower-than-par headset quality. I'm very particular with my music, and i listen to a lot of the same songs repeatedly, so i know exactly how they are supposed to sound.

Forgive me, I'm not too keen on audio lingo, so its difficult for me to describe what I'm experiencing: sometimes it sounds like the volume is fluctuating. One may even say that it sounds like my phone is having a difficult time when there is heavy bass and heavy treble at the same time.

Regardless of my ****ty explanation, has anyone else noticed a difference in audio quality since using the new nightlies?

[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Definitely cm7, nightly support started back up about a month ago or so

What does that mod do? I'm not looking for anything fancy, i just want it to sound the way it should...like it used to when i was on the old CM7, and on froyo

[Vibrant General] Woody:
I have noticed the past few updates Supercurio has put out that they have made the sound almost "wavy " if that makes sense. I just reverted back two builds ago and all is back to normal. Think he is recoding Voodoo app to integrate free and plus into one app and something isn't gellin too good. I know exactly what you are talking about and it is hard to pit it into words. Pretty sure it isn't exclusive to CM.

You're a bloody genius, the revert version you sent me resolved the issue. "wavy" - HA! that was a PERFECT way to describe what i was experiencing, and it was ruining my life. thank you for bringing meaning back to my exisistence.

my wife was telling me it was probably all in my psycho head...WOMEN!!:rolleyes::rolleyes:

(i mustve casually, and coincidentally, updated voodoo shortly before/after switching to the new nightlies, which is prob the reason i was led to believe it was a ROM issue)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cgibsong002:
Just looking for some opinions here. I currently have a Samsung Focus which was my first true smartphone. I've used a bunch though including the S2 and the iPhone 4s. I honestly think windows is the best OS out of the 3. But the 2nd gen of windows phones don't have much to offer above the focus, so I don't see it being worth it to grab a new windows phone. Also the weak marketplace is a killer especially when my friends are constantly usings apps like ptt and various *** 'with friends' games.

But I had every intention on probably sticking with a new Windows phone until I heard of this phone. Just because it offers something regular phones don't.

Advice? I'd also like opinions on the size. Not how it feels in your hand, I could care less. But how it fits in pockets, the weight... whether or not you can carry it around like you could carry your old phone.

How's the music integration? Zune wasn't fantastic but I quite liked it. I use my phone every day as my mp3 player at the gym. Does it function well? And back to the last question on size... could I fit it in a pair of gym shorts? (not cardio)

How much better is browsing on it? Do you find yourself using the internet much on it, or still always using a laptop if you have it? I thought I'd be using it all the time with my focus, but with the 3.7" screen i never do unless I'm not around a computer.

And are there any integrated bonuses that this phone has that the SII or other similar smartphones don't have? (aside from the notes app).

Thanks a lot guys. I don't expect you to answer everything but just looking for as much advice as I can get.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blazablaz:
Its a big phone, if you gonna wear it with gym shorts, depending on the activity it could slip out of you pockets. Phone is super light, easy to fit in pockets unless you wearing skinny's. Besides the s pen options, internet looks great on it, i use it often.

Music is like any other android, but i use power amp which i recommend. As far as advantages....SIZE...the screen is just bliss and typing on it is just great for big or little fingers. Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jev3gs:
I went from a Samsung Captivate to a Focus and now the Note. Honestly you might be dissapointed with the Note. Not because the phone is bad but the Windows Phone 7.5 is just soo smooth. When I used the Focus that phone never crashed, battery life is awesome and everything it did it did well.

The only knock on Windows was the lack of app support. I really missed the apps and games that I had on Android that is why I went back. In the end I might go with Galaxy S2 or Skyrocket. The only reason I will leave the Note is that it is difficult to work the phone with one hand.

If you get passed that and the size the phone is great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cgibsong002:
Yeah I'd use it for weight lifting only, so I won't be running around or anything. I weighed my focus and its over 5 ounces and supposedly the Note is about 6. So as long as it physically will fit in my pocket I think it should be ok.

What do you mean by 'aside from the pen options internet looks great'? Or were those two statements unrelated.

I definitely noticed the lack of 'smoothness' when messing around with the Galaxy 2 compared to my windows phone... and this is one reason I believe windows is superior... or at least has the potential to be. But there are so few things I actually do with my focus aside from text and listen to music. Screen is too small to browse, no apps to mess with. I also love customization and miss that factor with windows, so that might be fun to have an android.

Also I'm not a traveler or on the go user, so using with one hand shouldn't be an issue.

Can you guys fit the phone in all 4 jean pockets? Or only front, only back?

Think I'd get odd looks if I got a 4 point chest harness and secured it right in the center of my body? :D or is it not that big..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Really? You come to a Note forum and ask if you should get a Note. What is your expectation? Think we will all tell you NOT to get it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vcolassi:
Hell YES! Even without ICS on this phone it crushes everything. Pending you know how to mess with it a bit with a root/overclock/rom yada yada yada. Ive already gotten into 5 convos with people about it since ive gotten it last week. And all 5 after getting it in their hand said they want one :D.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cgibsong002:
notice how others gave useful info and answered some of my questions ;)

i'm not necessarily looking for you guys to decide for me but i had a few key questions and also was wondering if there are any main points i'd be missing leaving windows, or strong points i'd be gaining going to the note.

also i watched a video where the guy was using the stylus for writing and his finger for everything else. i'd imagine you can use the stylus to click on anything you could with your finger, right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
My opinion, the primary reason to move to the Note from the Focus is simply if you want the larger form and access to more apps. As you know, the Windows OS is very efficient and functional, aimed at getting the job done with some flair but not having to constantly fiddle with the the UserInterface. It is quicker and if you like it, I'd stick with it.

My college son has owned the Samsung Focus for over a year now and he really likes it...so do I. In fact on my prior Samsung 4'5" Infuse I often used the "launcher 7" app on my 'droid to simulate a windows phone. I'm playing with it now on my Note.

I can't carry my Note like my prior phones. But that is ok with me. I do put carry it in my front left/rear pockets but when I get it the car it comes out and sits in my car. But that's ok.

Gym shorts? it would probably fit but I certainly wouldn't exercise with it...although you could job/run with it using one of those armbands.

Browsing? I use the browser all the time, it's great. Rarely use my laptop.

The pen is cool...and I use it often to take notes, draw ideas, etc. However, I think an update is needed (and supposedly coming) to help smooth out the interface.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidal:
+1

This is the best phone ever and Android is the best OS, period.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Chief Geek:
Opinions on size? Nothing but good, here's the highlights to spare you some time:

I have beg hands, fits me perfectly. Wife has tiny baby hands, she can hardly hold it.

You feel a little weird holding it to your head the first day or so, after that you dont notice.

Splitscreen...oh yea, one of my favorites. Go to landscape and some of your comms go split screen. Email is way easier when you have the lest on left and preview panel on right. Same for you text message screen. Theis is a great way to skim through.

Usability - The white model is a little slick on the back, can cause to slip out of your hand. Solution is a case that most use, but if your like me and like the naked look most of the time then the easy solution is full body skin. I applied a "armor Suit" which is a wet application. This typically leave a grippier almost rubber like feeling left. Awesome for the back, I can lay mine on my flat hand and almost stand it straight up and down before it slides. Some don't like the feeling on the screen but I don't mind it at all and actually prefer it now.

Pocketability- Easy, very easy actually. It's a very flat phone so I carry in back or front pocket with no problem at all. Folks that may have problems would be women who typically have smaller pockets on jeans and slacks and guys who wear skinny nut huggers.

Everyday use - Every app seems easier to use. Games are a blast since you have more room to use virtual sticks without covering most of the screen up (some awesome games on sale right now for $0.50)

Accessories - Suprisingly alot for as new as it is. Lots of metal back plates (got a green one on the way), leather cases, holsters, things of this nature. It helps that the international version has been out a little longer and there are accessories such as the dock that work perfectly fine with out AT&T version. Plus generic slips and pouches made for the Dell Streak 5 often fit our device, sometimes with very slight alterations. Generic batteries, docks, and chargers are out too. Most of these accessories are cheap. I bought a silicon cover, full film protector, 3 batteries, charger, and metal back cover, all for under $40 off amazon from several vendors and thats with shipping.

Development - It's quite slow at the moment, but it almost always is. We're all waiting for ICS (Ice Cream Sandwhich) wich some say is coming soon and others say its not. The phone functions fin with Gingerbread, it's just most of us Android addicts demand the newest OS by any means possible. It'll pick up, it always does.

hope this helped some!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cgibsong002:
Draw something was what initially gave me the idea for the phone :D Then I started looking into it and now I'm really thinking I'm going to get it. I definitely have to go into my local store first and try it out and put it in my pockets, etc. Hopefully I can get a deal too.

I actually hope ICS doesn't come out for a little while. I like change and being able to mess around with new updates. So since this will be my first droid it'll leave me plenty of time to mess around with it, then when ICS comes it'll feel like a whole new phone once again.

And with some android devices, can't you actually load windows 7.5 on it?
