What is TEP? Does the warranty carry over of im not the one who originally bought the device? The guy bought it in september i think.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NaeNegriTech:
It sounds like liquid damage to me.

Look really closely inside your charging port for anything green/white, especially toward the very base of the pins. Also, look at the charger itself for any green/corrosion on the pins. If you find any, dip a toothbrush in some denatured alcohol and scrub your charging port.

Works like a charm.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toobz:
Ok so after cleaning out the charger it seems to charge better, but it has a different problem too. It doesnt stay off. Every time i try to power down it automatically turns itself back on. I want to root this phone before i switch my service over. Is it safe to root this phone if it doesnt turn off and stay off? And would a coroded charger port be the cause of it turning itself back on?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Make sure the device is usable first. A corroded charging port could definitely help in bricking the device, by not completing a full flash during installation of software.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] merriman02:
hi all,

n00b here so go easy !

im having similar issues to the OP, with the phone constantly telling me that charging has been paused , voltage too high , even when the phone is not charging.

my phone has just been returned to me from a warranty repair for a faulty button and camera , it took almost 2 months to have it repaired by samsung.

i really cant face not having my phone for another 2 months if it needs to go for repair again.

how much would it cost to have the usb replaced on the phone if i was to bring it to a standard phone shop ??

thanks in advance guys.

p.s. i wouldnt risk trying to D.I.Y. it as im really not good at that kinda stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Are you activated on another carrier? Or do you not have TEP?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NaeNegriTech:
That's very odd. I've seen liquid damage cause the phone to stay powered on constantly, but normally doesn't have anything to do with the charging port.

Pull your battery and leave it out for a few hours to fully reset the internal battery and see if that does the trick.

Did you use Denatured or Isopropyl alcohol to clean out the port? If not, you may have damaged something.. It doesn't take a whole lot of alcohol to clean out the port, just a dip into the alcohol with a toothbrush and a lot of scrubbing.

Regarding this being a widespread issue, I don't know if the port is more susceptible to liquid, but I have seen this issue four times over the last month and a half.. (Mainly with the Galaxy Nexus) Cleaning the charging port has resolved it 100% of the time for me and I have not heard back from anyone saying the issue returned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] toobz:
OK so for some reason the charging works and the phone is able to shut off. Now I have a new problem. My e4gt will charge when plugged into the pc, but the pc doesn't recognize it. I want to root my device, but the computer will not recognize it no matter what! I tried uninstalling the drivers, reformatting my phone / sd card, restarting the computer, reinstalling the drivers, and i just can't get the computer to see the phone. What can I do? This is driving me insane.

maybe try using odin and reinstall a stock el29 rom see if that helps in any way?

Hi I have lost the original music player because I flashed the BEATS edition......

but I would like to restore the old one, anyone can help me?? I have no idea

where can I find the original music apk.....thanks!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Pull it from system/app of another rom. Then pop it back into system/app. That should leave you good to go. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:

[HTC EVO 3D] MSK01:
So, I've fallen out of touch with the forums since I got this fun. And now that I've finally decided to get around to rooting, I have no idea what is going on.

All I'm sure of is that if I have a certain Hboot, I can't root.

What's Hboot? How do I tell what version I have?
[HTC EVO 3D] wloftus:
you understood wring... you can root in ANY hboot....hboot is the program that is loaded when the phone is off and you hld volume down and the press power...if you have hboot 1.5 and you unlock and root... you only gain access to boot system and data partitions...if you downgrade to hboot 1.4 then unlock and root you gain access to all partitions... to tel what hboot you have have the phone off and then hold in the vol down button and press power...should be a mainly white screen and at the top itll tell you what hboot you have
[HTC EVO 3D] MSK01:
Alright, thank you! It says I have Hboot 1.5. Does that means if I root it I will not be able to flash custom roms?
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Yes you can flash any ROM/kernel on Any hboot. But since you are on hboot 1.5 you cannot change kernels without using PC.Even though you are unlocked you cannot wipe certain partitions too. For hboot 1.5 you have to use PC to boot recovery to have full access to modify certain partition.You cannot update radios with hboot 1.5 and you will void warranty if you unlock it with www.htcdev.com . And Not all recoveries work with hboot 1.5

And If you dont want all these trouble, I suggest you to simply downgrade your hboot to 1.4, which can be unlocked using www.revolutionary.io. With this method , you will be able to flash radios/ROMs/Kernels and everything right from your phones recovery/bootloader without the need of a PC. All recoveries are compatible with hboot 1.4 .

If you wish to downgrade here is the link ----> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1547695

NOTE: To downgrade 1.5 hboot to 1.4 with the method in the link, you must be S-ON.
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
Yes you can root and flash rom's on hboot 1.5 and flash kernal's but you will have to use the GUI app from the market or you can push the kernal using your pc or laptop
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
Or once you root get 4ext. Which now allows you to flash custom roms without the need of a computer to boot into recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] witiko92:
Hey there, how's your day going? :)

Now, this is not a can-it-be-done kind of question, because the IP Webcam app already does just that - it exposes the audio from microphone via http on localhost:8080/audio.wav and .ogg for anyone to access.

The thing is that the app also does a pleyhora of other things - most notably video streaming, which makes the app one hell of a bad boy when it comes to battery consumption. And not only that, the audio streaming - as implemented - is severely delayed and the format / compression used can't really be adjusted to alleviate that issue, which in turn renders it impossible to turn the droid into a remote microphone (which would be an awesome thing to do :rolleyes:).

And since I don't think the author has ever released a source code (I stand to be corrected), I'm asking whether there is an app dedicated just and only to audio streaming (obviously couldn't find any, hence I'm asking) or whether I'll have to act a dev once again. :D

[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedysilwady:
Hey everyone. I have a couple questions. This guy is selling me a g2x for 130 but says the simcard wont read at all anymore...idk if its software or hardware related but I think its a good price and maybe an easy or cheap fix, right? Also i remember hearing a lot of software issues on this phone but Im assuming root has solved them all by now right? i appreciate your input guys thanks!

UPDATE:

Thanks everyone I bought it. It looks like its almost brand new. only a faint scratch on the screen otherwise it looks flawless inside and out , no water damage, no abuse. It looks like its well taken care of. I verified the IMEI is NOT blacklisted, the phone reads the SIM and shows T-Mobile in the APN, however the notification bar has an Invalid SIM message rather than displaying T-Mobile. I have searched XDA and determined it has what is called "Baseband Corruption", I am unsure on how to fix this as I have read that flashing roms doesnt solve this issue as the RIL is not flashed with custom roms. Anyone have any suggestions? Does LG use anything similar to ODIN (a program used by Samsung phones to reflash every partition)? I think if LG has some kind of software to reflash every partition maybe this will fix the baseband corruption and make the phone usable?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
If it's not reading any sim cards I bet it's water damaged and would stay away.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedysilwady:
Wouldnt that be evident though if i checked the water indicator?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] princeasi:
Even if it's reading the Sim card, stay away froma g2x period! It had the potentials of being a great phone, but the bugs will eventually become frustrating to deal with, i.e. the browser bug, camera zooming bug, no lg camera app which takes full advantage of the camera functionality, and so on......and don't dare even entertain the thought of going back to Froyo, unless you love going through random restarts and boot loops which leads to a hard resets.

I'm just sayin!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedysilwady:
Are those bugs gone after rooting it though?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] princeasi:
No, rooting doesn't solve those problems.

I'm just sayin!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedysilwady:
Ah so its hardware im assuming? i was hoping.flashing an AOKP or CM9 rom wouldve solved it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
Another reason it may not read the Sim, is that it has been blocked for some reason.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
not all of them have the bugs, would I recommend this phone over the SGS II probably not, would I recommend it over the Sensation or Amaze 4G probably... This guy seems to have something against the G2X lol.

"the browser bug, camera zooming bug, no lg camera app which takes full advantage of the camera functionality" I have no clue what the Browser bug is, camera zooming bug never heard it, No LG camera app whoopty dooo! The Aosp camera and apps from the play store are fine, just install the ICS camera app from the play store is great. I think the phone is great!

Now when it comes to the SIM card slot no recommendations besides what has already been stated..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedysilwady:
Ah so a non-LG rom would solve those issues then.

that was my other thought, not sure if its feasible to get it unblocked by taking it to a cell phone repair place or rooting it. He swears up and down theres no water damage and that i can check the indicators. He said his cousin was using it and it stopped reading the sim outta nowhere.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] princeasi:
the bugs doesn't appear to be hardware, it's software. Originally the g2x came with froyo. After many complaints about the random restarting and GB release date. Lg rushed an update which was supposed to have fixed the restarting issue in gb. Only to give us a half baked ROM, missing the camera app which decreased the quality of the camera, whereas at one point the camera was one of their marketing ploys to sell the phone. You can try installing other roms, but there will be a give and take issue.

I'm just sayin!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedysilwady:
Ive never been one to use any android phone stock, so rooting will help me there. Im just worried about the phone's IMEI being blocked and maybe impossible to unblock? Its a good price for $130 if theres no water damage and I wouldnt mind paying a little extra to fix the SIM issue. Im still debating whether to pick it up or not. I told him Id meet him in three hours so I am weighing my options
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
Try it with yours maybe his sim card just craped out I've had that happen, and I've had mine rooted and flashed from day one and never had one issue
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedysilwady:
He said he tried it out with his and his cousins sim card. So I dont know if mine would work either. My fear is that maybe its imei is blacklisted on t-mobile and thats why it wont work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Even if it is blacklisted, wouldnt it say when u insert your sim in? Ive seen black listed phones when u insert ur sim in it will tell you to return it back to the originally owner. Id say go meet the guy up and try, if not, I have no clue what the fix would be.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] princeasi:
Congrats, for solving this mystery. I mean I did elude to the fact of staying away from g2x phones :rolleyes: hmm let me guess, you seem like someone who likes to use pictures of monkeys as a profile pix!

It's been posted by me and many others on the lg support forum, many times. google it!

smarta$$ dipsh!t comments like this, is what start flame wars control your words!

I'm just sayin!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedysilwady:
Ah, okay I will definitely look out for that. And actually the guy told me he didnt try it with his sim card because he has AT&T. The phone is his cousins and it stopped working with his cousin. i will meet him up and try to see if it works with my sim. If theres nothing on the water indicators, no blacklist message, and no missing contacts on the sim reader, then maybe its the sim reader or some dust thats causing the issue and can be replaced.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
But all of those issues you stated are only on LG stock based ROMs. Custom ROMs such as CM7 don't have these issues.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
You can't preach about not being a **** by being a ****.

G2x is great phone with the right ROM/kernel.

If the phone does work, go on a flashing spree and find what you like/works best. I was getting fed up with the CM9 EB rom, and went back to CM7. But the EB AOSP rom works great minus the few standard ICS problems.

Good luck, let us know how the meeting goes.

My apology "if" I've read your comments in the wrong context, but it appears that you were being a wise a$$. I've seen you on here plenty of times as a cool person and in this situation, your approach to my reply towards the OP was belittling, but anyways no hard feelings......the OP made an informed decision based on the information provided by us xda fellows, and that's what matters to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedysilwady:
Oh damn, called T-Mobile and they said that the IMEI is actually blacklisted after all =[
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
You guys can settle your dispute elsewhere.

As for the OP: For lg phones you use a tool called nvflash to put cwm on our phone. After you have cwm everything else should be easy since u seem to have flashed before. Have you tried looking on eBay for Amy g2x sim parts. I haven't looked yet because I'm not home but if I find anything I'll let you know
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedysilwady:
Thanks bro I appreciate it, but I dont think theres any use in it. I called T-Mobile and they did say it is infact a blocked IMEI. I had checked some websites and inputted the IMEI and they said it was clear before I called T-Mobile but I cant argue with them ...Idk what to do now...

Oh no :(

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The IMEI is only blocked by T-Mobile not by other carriers. U.S. carriers don't cooperate and not part of the EU or any other blocked IMEI lists. You can use it on AT&T (Edge data only) or sell it to someone in another country but be honest with them they cannot use it in the U.S. on T-Mobile. I'll give you $50 if you send it to me in Thailand.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackpbj:
Wow. Since when did T mobile start blacklisting phones? I know Verizon and Sprint have been doing it for years but the GSM carriers(ATT and T-mobile) never did it before.

One of the things that attracted me to T-mobile was the fact that sim cards are pop and play. I like to change phones frequently and to do this while still under contract i need to find good deals on slightly used phones ie- My G2x was used. The only reason why I stuck with this phone so long is the fact that i am waiting for a quadcore phone.

It makes it easier not needing to worry about blocked imei's like I used to when I was with Alltel(esn). i remeber buying a v710 on Alltel for $250 bucks that turned out to be stolen and lost out on my money.

Tmoblie already has a weak phone selection and now this. Thank for the heads up, i have to be more careful now.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedysilwady:
Thanks everyone, i appreciate all the concern its nice to see so many nice people in the g2x forums compared to some of the other phone forums here. i got an offer on it for 75 from a cell phone buyer. of course i was honest about the problem. Changing the IMEI is NOT illegal in the US but it is in the UK. I tried spoofing it but no luck. Spoofing isnt the same as cloning it. Im shocked you can block IMEIs on Tmobile now. its like verizon and sprint with esn blocking. Still trying to figure out what to do. Its a damn shame too because the phones in excellent shape and really snappy even ompared to my previous HTC Sensation on ICS.

Are you in the us? I bought a stolen phone before and t mo told me even if it was stolen it could still be used. I called several different stores and talked to several reps and they said t mo doesn't blacklist phones in the us. This was in 2010 at about this time so things could have changed.
