Quadrant scores should only be 20% of your basis for speed, a test drive is still more reliable.

I am concerned if you still felt that CM7 was slow though. A stock CM7 (coming from a full system wipe) should be quite snappy.
[LG Optimus 2x] 4eftetercel:
I'll have to look that up , see what it's all about, thanks for the quick replies.

I looked at Owain's cm9 kang build, the bugs were the only thing that made me think twice about it, as long as I have a good backup so if something gets messed up I don't want to spend hours fixing it again. Are there any builds that have less bugs ?
[LG Optimus 2x] 4eftetercel:
When I installed cm7 I rebooted my phone and it got stuck at the LG loading screen, so I did a factory reset. I have never had cm7 working on my phone before. If you could provide me with some good instructions, and what things to install. I would love to try to do it again as long as I know I'm doing so properly. Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
What you say is a bit puzzling for me. Doing a factory reset will not "uninstall" CM7, so I think you never had CM7 installed to begin with.

First things first. What's your Android version right now, is your device rooted, do you have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed, which version?
[LG Optimus 2x] 4eftetercel:
I have android version 2.2.2 . My device is rooted. And i no longer have clock work recovery installed.
[LG Optimus 2x] LarsPT:
Okay so I guess if I were you I would start by getting Titanium Backup and backing up the most important apps.

Then install ROM Manager app and install CWM. Then update that to rusty's 5.0.2.7 version. Boot into it, do a full nandroid backup so you don't have nothing to worry about if anything goes wrong. Do a dalvik cache wipe and a full factory reset. Get temasek's latest kang and flash it, easy :D
[LG Optimus 2x] rktdi:
Temaseks Kang.

Enough said. It is fantastic.
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
The steps here are pretty straightforward, you can follow these:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-cyanogenmod-7-1-rc1-rom-on-lg-optimus-2x/

It's a bit old though.

I'd recommend:

CWM 5028

CM7.2 RC kang

Gapps for 2.3.7

(All from Temasek's mediafire folder.)
[LG Optimus 2x] 4eftetercel:
thanks , looks pretty strait forward.
[LG Optimus 2x] 4eftetercel:
I have just downloaded cwm 5028 , temasek's cm7.2 as well as Gapps. Will procede with the flashing of all of these tomorrow. Any more advice on things i should make sure to do regarding this would be good! I will do a nandroid backup before hand.
[LG Optimus 2x] langhaardack:
Did you do the Titanium Backup thing? TB is an app worth buying (~4$), it backs up all your apps and the apps' data so you dont have to get all of them back after a full wipe. If you want to you can use SMS Backup + to Backup SMS-conversations and call logs.

For a fresh start I would nullify my device with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1555404 or manually format cache, system and data at least once.

[Defy General] aerismel:
Hello everyone. I had bricked my defy, and it didn't turn on at all. Long story short I used the mcgyver hack to make rsd lite detect my phone so I could flash a stock sbf. Now my phone turns on, and works normally, BUT, it has to be connected to the mcgyver cable to be on. The battery is not charging, whether I use a wall charger, or usb charger. Even if I leave the battery connected for a few minutes to the mcgyver cable it still doesn't charge or anything.

I was wondering if there is a way to make the battery charge again, so that the phone works with the battery (without having to be connected to the mcgyver cable)?

The wall charger I have is the following and it is original from motorola: http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSXPfMQe-RB4uwco7GzcX9c3kTAncu5a_C-xO-c1YZQyCKkkkyycw

I ordered a wall charger like this one: http://m2.sourcingmap.com/smapimg/e...usb-output-for-motorola-droid-bh5x-86853n.jpg so that I can charge the battery directly.

I don't know if that can make the battery charge again, but any suggestions are greatly appreciated on how I can make the battery work alone.

By the way, I have only rooted my defy. I have android 2.3.4 installed, but haven't installed clockworkmod.

Thanks in advance for your answers!
[Defy General] pranks1989:
did you consider the fact your battery might be broken?! Try checking with a multimeter if you have one
[Defy General] cribb:
sounds like a broken battery. You could also try cleaning the connectors on the battery with a rubber, in case they're dirty or oxidized for whatever reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dextroamphetamine:

How can I backup my phone to a flashable zip from adb shell?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hbar:
Hey guys :)

I just installed the leaked AT&T ICS (the CWM version that's been posted), and so far everything's generally great.

However, ever since I upgraded to ICS, my phone has been downloading data like crazy over WiFi. Oddly enough, this has happened on my phone before as well when I was using GB, and I believe it also occurred then right after a reinstall.

It's incredibly annoying because whatever the phone's downloading, it seems like it's using a lot of bandwidth because any other internet-related activities I try and do take *forever*. I've rebooted the phone several times, tried stopping every service that I can, and turned off all auto account sync stuff. It's been several hours since I installed ICS, and it's still going.

I'm going to let it sit overnight and see what it's doing in the morning, but even if this is only a temporary problem it's REALLY annoying. Especially since if it's not done doing whatever it's doing by morning, I won't be able to use cellular data on it because I only have the 200 MB plan and don't feel like losing my entire volume for the month because I can't stop my phone from downloading.

Any ideas as to what's causing this? Like I said I'm pretty sure this isn't an ICS-specific problem because it happened under 2.3.4 also, I just want to be able to shut down whatever's doing this excessive downloading. And I'd love to know *what* exactly is being downloaded that's it's taking so long and using so much bandwidth.

Thanks for any help you guys can lend :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
If you do switch to data to let it pull it down, you can use the data usage in the settings to see what app is doing it. My Data Manager (free in the Play Store) can also monitor data, on cell data and wifi. That would also tell you what app is doing it.

I would guess you either have a ton of data in your Google account, such as contacts, calendar, Gmail, or you have an app that is trying to sync data down. I'm guessing you are restoring apps, then notice the data draw. Think about any apps you have that may sync data back and forth. If you sign into your Google account at initial set up, it should (depending on settings) automatically download and install your apps. But, that should be apparent, you should see the downloads as it does them app by app.

All that is based on guesses of what I would consider "normal" behavior after installing a new ROM.

Good luck tracking it down. :thumbup:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Settings > Data Usage

Check what is using it, and listing what APKs you added might help.

Or avoid all that and use the native ICS data monitor. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hbar:
The weird thing is that I hadn't really done anything to the phone when it started using all the data. My Google account doesn't really have much in it (don't have a ton of contacts, don't use it to back up apps/etc.), and I think the only things I'd done app-wise were updating a couple preinstalled apps (Facebook and Maps, I think), but I hadn't installed anything new yet.

I installed My Data Manager, but it looks like it's already done whatever it was doing. Though, even now the download arrow is constantly lit up on WiFi, but I think whatever it's doing now has something to do with the network I'm on (dorm room) as I've noticed almost constant non-zero download bandwidth being used on my desktop as well when it's on the network. If I turn WiFi off now it isn't constantly using cellular data any more, so thankfully it looks like it's finished with whatever it was doing and the constant WiFi downloading is a network, not phone, issue.

On an unrelated note, I was going to reinstall a tethering app, but figured I'd give a try to the built-in tethering first (don't have a plan). On GB it wouldn't even let me start up the tethering without a plan IIRC, but under ICS the tethering not only starts up, I can even connect my laptop to it. Unfortunately I couldn't get internet access on my laptop though, so I'm guessing there's still a restriction on it. Just found it interesting that you can actually enable the tethering without a plan now.

But there's a more serious problem, however. Is ATT clamping down on third-party tethering? I used to use Barnacle WiFi Tether, so I went to install that from the market. Well, Play tells me the app isn't able to be installed on my device because of carrier restrictions (lame). No problem, I figure, I go to their website and download the apk from there and manually install.

Well, when I try and start tethering using Barnacle, it says "WiFi: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on transport endpoint"

Does this mean I'm screwed? Will any third-party tethering apps work? To be honest I'm not really into trying out 5 million different ROMs on my phone and don't really mind TW at all, so I'd prefer to keep it stock. But I use my phone overseas and need to be able to use tethering, and if ATT is really clamping down on third-party apps then I'll be installing a completely stock kernel once one's easily available.

Thoughts? Anyone else experimented with tethering on UCLC2 yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hbar:
Well, never mind regarding the tethering stuff - I'd still be interested anyway to know if ATT is trying to actively prevent you from using it in ICS, but I just flashed the SHOstock2 ROM and I gotta say I'm blown away. Even after using it for a half hour I'm pretty sure I'll never go back to stock again (I'm sure most of you would say DUH to that), has everything I'd want in a ROM and nothing I don't. Default tethering works right out of the box too, so I don't even have to worry about installing another app.

Only kinda weird thing is the data indicator keeps switching between H+ and 3G (I'd post on the actual ROM thread but I don't have 10 posts yet...). I'm only on the 200 MB data plan so I switched it to the wap.cingular APN, but even after doing that it still switches. Data seems fast - and I'm not one to be super-concerned with data speeds since I'm mostly just checking e-mail - so it's not a huge deal, but figured I'd mention it anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
The data switching is normal. The device idles on 3g to save battery and kicks up to 4g when it needs the speed. Stock roms hide this behavior by showing the 4g icon even on 3g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
I never thought to press the menu key in there, there is no indication there are more options. By default it doesn't show wifi data, but on my TouchPad running CM9, that's all it shows. Guess I shouldn't have assumed the ICS wouldn't be without menu use fragmentation like every other android version.

Yeah, the data switching on a custom ROM is normal. Just showing you what the phone actually does. It can save power by reverting back to the 3G vs H when you are idle. The first thing most custom ROMs add is tethering on the built in method. If the leak let you start it up, I'm guessing its incomplete. I would bet att does the same in ICS as GB and has an app to check your account before letting you turn on tethering. Att can detect tethering on the back end too, so if you are caught they warn you first, but you can end up being put on the tethering plan if you keep tethering.

Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hbar:
Ahh, thanks for the info on the data switching, never knew about that!

I don't use tethering in the US, but I do overseas, which is why I was concerned about ATT blocking tethering apps. However, I realized it's probably not an issue anyway because I'm guessing that tethering wouldn't be blocked with a non-ATT SIM card. Anyway, SHOstock rocks, so it's all good :)

Also good to know that ICS can monitor WiFi traffic by default - didn't think to hit the settings button on that screen. I gotta admit, that's one huge interface design flaw of Android. There should be some kind of indicator on the screen when there's a menu available, really poor interface design choice to have to hit the menu button randomly to see if any menus are there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] monsieurtalbot:
With new ICS developed devices, most don't include touch buttons... The Nexus for example (using on screen buttons) only shows a menu button when a menu is available... :-)

Cheers.

ALSO- I also noticed what appears to be constant "spurts" of Wifi data usage as well (at least according to my Wifi status bar indicator)... It doesn't seem to affect my Mobile Data, and every data monitoring App (including stock ICS data monitoring) doesn't show the culprit, which leads me to believe that we may be dealing with a system app that is accessing data in the background almost constantly... But only on Wifi. Maybe a location service, or something to do with Syncing? I say system because not even stock Data Monitoring is recognizing an app using data...

Another reason I say this is because I pointlessly wiped my device and started over due to this... "bug"... Only to find that running stock CM9 (with no installed apps) my Wifi indicator still led me to believe my device as downloading spurts of data constantly.

I haven't been able to narrow it down, and am hoping that the issue is fixed in a future software update. - But it is more than likely not an app, just an ICS/CM9 bug.

UPDATE- Just checked a Samsung Epic 4G running CM9 and the bug isn't there... So, it's something specifically within our device and ICS... Again, maybe a System app or Kernel bug...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
I'm not sure I see the purpose. I've tried both Juice Defender and GreenPower, and those both are capable of extending my battery automatically by managing the radios (at the cost of untimely notifications), but everything in GO Power is already built into the phone (except for estimated time remaining).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Go Power Master aims to take the time consuming setup & micro-management out of the process by handling most of everything for you.

I used it for a few days but it wasnt for me.

Personally, I use Tasker and Battery Widget Pro.

Tasker (something like $8 on the market) gives you all the functionality of Juice Defender and GreenPower but it also gives you MANY more options than any other app of this kind (automation on your phone). Tasker isnt specifically for saving battery power, its about automating process for you so you dont have to think about it and if you think about it, some of the things you do may be for the express purpose of saving battery life but could also be for other purposes.

One of the MANY automated Tasker scripts I run automatically turns off nearly every radio on the phone when I am more than 200 feet away from the house. Another automatically turns the phone ringer off when I place it on my inductive charger (when its on the charger, I dont want phone calls because I usually will be sleeping).

However, Tasker comes at a huge price, first it is fairly expensive for an app but the bigger issue is the learning curve. Yes, there is a ton of documentation for it but essentially, every task you create is a small logic gate and if you are not familiar with basic programming or have a good grasp of basic math and minor algebra (greater than, lesser than, etc.), you may run into some difficulties getting it to do what you want it to.

Battery Widget Pro tells me EXACTLY what is going on with my battery, sometimes killing me with TMI (too much information). When I see something out of the norm with regards to battery life, I can tap the battery widget and see exactly what has been going on since the day I installed the app (it lets me go back as far as I want to see battery information).

Hi Experts,

How can we copy video files(.mkv) larger than 4GB in size to memory card?

By default its FAT32 and its having a limitation that it wont allow files> 4GB,i tried formatting to NTFS but our phone wont read that format.

Please help
[LG Optimus 3D] johnroberts:
you cannot copy files over 4gb to a Fat32 formatted drive

Fat32 limits the read/write capability of the drive to small file sizes. Files of 4GB and larger can only be copied to NTFS formatted and maybe other linux type (ext3/4) formatted drives.

No way around this..
