[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bobarune:
It does that to tell if you have root. It's so it can put the unsupported device flag at the top. It also checks /system/app/ for a Superuser.apk to tell also.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aliwho:
If ANYTHING asks you for root that doesn't need it/that you didn't want it to have/you didn't request, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS deny permissions.

Wallet will function fine without root.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Veereihen6:
So what is the outcome here? I just rooted using the method that zedomax posted, and got the "unsupported device" notification. I denied superuser privileges to Wallet when it asked, but what exactly is happening when it says "unsupported device"?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Nothing. It has just detected that you're rooted. If you tap on "More info" on the unsupported device banner, it tells you more info about it. Even if you deny su perms, it still knows if you have su. It's only asking to check if su exists.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wlpywd:
do NOT give wallet root! you'll get unsupported device, then if you flash another rom or unlock/lock it or unroot or any other changes after you give it superuser/root permissions, you will brick your NFC chip with secure element error! the only reliable fix for that so far is sprint is replacing your phone with another.

heed that wise man's advice! NEVER give superuser to anything that doesn't require it!! especially most especially WALLET

----

it says "unsupported device"because wallet isn't supported on rooted devices, that's why it checks for root. this is on purpose because google or sprint won't warranty or troubleshoot or insure or give you support or help or even a sympathetic ear about wallet on unsupported devices because you are dealing with MONEY and FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS. if your

phone is hacked, stolen, or lost, and you loose money from someone spending your stuff, your only protection is whatever the credit card company will give you if you can convince them. THAT'S why it checks for rooted devices. just so you all know
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Even if you deny su, it still will show unsupported and know that you're rooted. By the su prompt coming up, the app knows you're rooted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blars:
Please don't post misleading info...allowing or denying root privileges to google wallet has nothing to do with bricking the secure element of the NFC chip.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wlpywd:
only after you do something else rom/root wise. without clearing data and saved info and settings.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alucardunit1:
So for some one like me who rooted allowed it to have permission, thinking that unsupported device was bad cleared my cache and then unrooted thinking this would fix this issue. Apparently not, so who has a fix or a thought of one?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
There is no need for a fix. Google Wallet works just fine when rooted, ignore the message.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yunjing7:
I'm sure everyone knows that you should always wipe everything before installing a new rom... If they don't then they deserve what happens to them..

I however am having an issue with the "initializing your device"... Its been sitting here for an extremely long time, and is annoying. -- Any ideas anyone? I've done research and some people have said its down and some have said its up, etc... So if anyone has a for sure answer that would be much appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
The for sure answer is that google wallet is currently not working correctly on our device. Google is aware and is working on the issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
good to hear. Cuz last night I finally rooted and unlocked bootloader. I did clear settings in wallet first. But now it just sits on initializing and won't continue. :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yunjing7:
Thank you much. Was there any eta by any chance? If you know that is. I as well rooted the device and never had Google wallet active till after, then all of a sudden I get that initializing stuff. So I got a little freakish when I saw some posts, lol.. :-(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mtg981:
I'm not trying to be mean, but you are so wrong that you should Not be giving advice. NFC chip breaks ONLY if you DO NOT reset Google wallet BEFORE you flash OR even do a plain factory reset on an UNROOTED LTE.

Read the sticky in the "general thread". It explains all about the Google wallet and the NFC chip.
[HTC Desire S] xREDavidx:
I've flashed a lot of roms on my phone and on most of them led buttons (home, back, search... at the bottom of the phone doesnt light up when you navigate through phone...can someone tell me why is this so and if you can fix it somehow by your own?

Sorry if this thread is already up, i havent seen it...
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
They aren't meant to light up in normal use. They are only meant to light up when the room is dark.
[HTC Desire S] kirri_le:
Can you tell us what is your current ROM please?

I had the same problem in CyanogenMod9, when I turned off the autobrightness. Somebody tells that it's because of sweep2wake function. By the way, when brightness is auto - everything works fine.
[HTC Desire S] xREDavidx:
As far as i remember, on stock rom, those buttons always lighted up, and on my last 3 roms now they never did. I'm currently using Primos-s, but before i had Runny sense 3.5 rom, and didn't work too. i find this thing very annoying because i have to blind guess everytime... I have auto-brightness turned on, and still these buttons neve rlight up, even in dark.
[HTC Desire S] johnrangoo:
In some Roms like Endymion which I use there's a tweak for the brightness at which the buttons light up. In stock they only lit up in complete darkness. Hopefully it works the same in Fallout ..

Tapa2 desire s
[HTC Desire S] xREDavidx:
I'd be very happy if they light up only in darkness, but now they never do...hopefully, on the next rom i'll use they will work :)
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
As mentioned above, some ROMs have implemented tweaks so they will only light up in very dark conditions. In my opinion, this is even better.

Try another ROM.
[HTC Desire S] xREDavidx:
I will flash another rom in next few days so hopefuly everything will be ok. Thanks for helping me.

This is a silly question but is the code name for the EVO 4G LTE supposed to be JEWEL or JET?

I thought I'd seen JET on Sprint doc leaks but everyone here calls it JEWEL.

[LG Optimus 2x] Big-Blue:
Good afternoon, XDA-developers-community!

I'm in posession of the LG Optimus 2x (called LG Optimus Speed here, p990) for over a year now and I've also been using custom ROMs for quite a while.

Since sometime around January I've been using the Nova Custom ROM which worked like a charm, but updating it gave me another bootscreen lately, around 2-3 weeks ago.

The red-eyed droid reaper bootscreen seems to have replaced the second part of the LG logo and booting takes awfully long now. First there is the LG logo, then the reaper (for about 30 secods) and then the usual boot starts, showing the CM9 bootlogo.

I am fairly concerned about this, as it not just reminds me of BSOD/brick, but it also seems to have slowed down boot. There also was no way to remove it, I tried another update, full wipe, boot logo change etc..

If anyone could state what's wrong with my phone I would be grateful, if you need more info just ask and I'll provide it.
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
i'm not sure about what's causing the boot to slow down, but i believe the reaper image is from the kernel you're using. I may be wrong, but I'm guessing it's Harsh's kernel. Or whatever else is default with the nova rom.

---------- Post added at 03:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 AM ----------

you can check which kernel you're using by going into settings-about phone-kernel version

Search the forums according to your android & sense version.

For example "icons ICS sense 4.0 Sensation"

Simple as that. :)
[HTC Sensation] jy_ventura:
Okay cool thanks :)
[LG Optimus 2x] japmsn:
Hey guys, I've been reading around but prefer to ask directly in case there's something I'm missing.

What I did was:

* Root with SuperOneClick

* Installed Rom Manager

* From Rom manager installed CWM

* From Rom manager selected Boot to recovery

=>

stuck at LG logo

Is there any other option besides flashing a stock rom with SmartFlash? Also does it really matters which version I flash (I had stock froyo, can I flash stock GB?).

Thanks in advance, I'm about to freak out :o

_EDIT_

This post worked for me :) a big thanks to all who came in here to help.
[LG Optimus 2x] Cice96:
Try to reboot in recovery by press power button+volume down.
[LG Optimus 2x] japmsn:
Thanks but nothing happens, also tried removing the battery and doing it again but no luck :p
[LG Optimus 2x] Cice96:
I think the only solution possible is to restore the original lg rom.

This will erase all your internal sd card data and all the app.

1) download the rom you want to restore from here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1035041

2)Download smartflash program and drivers from here:

-http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=mf/?ebwer79kx5abx61

-http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=mf/?ebwer79kx5abx61

3)Run smartflsh proram

4) Pull the phone's battery off and connect it with the usb to the computer then press volume down, install the drivers if necessary

5)In smartflsh select the rom copy D/L tab and be sure that normsl mode is selected and erase cal is NOT selected.Select in cp bin the rom .fls file and in ap bin the .bin file then click start.
[LG Optimus 2x] japmsn:
Thanks, yeah I think that's the only solution, in fact I've been downloading a stock rom for a while now. Just don't know if that's the one for me, I'm downloading this one:

EURO OPEN

BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20q-EUR-XX-JAN-24-2012-0

and I had froyo v10a :confused: would that do it?
[LG Optimus 2x] Cice96:
These roms are all gingerbread stock roms.
[LG Optimus 2x] japmsn:
Okay, that's good. I'll try the one I'm downloading, if i get no service or something I'll fix that then, all I care about now is get it booting :)

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
is your device still rooted...can you get access to the CWM with power button+volume down button...then u can flash a rebuild of V20q by Flix...or you can try other stock ROMs like Django Manouche 1.2 ROMs.or the one which is just released by Civato...these stock ROMs have all the things and look like Stock but with more performance related tweaks.
[LG Optimus 2x] japmsn:
As stated on third comment after Cice96's suggestion, I'm unable to boot into recovery. If you mean after I flash with SmartFlash I'll try but doubt I'll still have CWM.
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
Tried nvflash cwm? Search for the thread by Rusty! In dev section.
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
friend,

are u able to enter the recovery mode or not...I see the post 3 and i think u have no access to CWM or recovery...is that right?
[LG Optimus 2x] japmsn:
I'm looking here, is that what you mean? Can I flash that with nvflash even with my phone in this state?:confused: That would be awesome as the rom I was downloading was corrupted (dam freakshare) so gonna have to try again.

I'm not able to enter recovery/CWM mode. Even if I press the combination of keys the phone won't move from the LG logo.
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
What kind of O2X do you have?

If it's SU660, try doing home-vol down-power to get into recovery.

---------- Post added at 03:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ----------

also, you need to keep holding down the buttons until you get to the second LG logo
[LG Optimus 2x] japmsn:
Thanks for answering aragorn7, I already fixed it with this post.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stong98:
I have been having a problem with using 2 bluetooth devices simultaneously and was wondering if there is a problem with my phone or bluetooth devices or if this is normal/expected.

I have bluetooth in my truck (2012 GMC 2500HD) that only works for phone calls. I also have a bluetooth adapter that I plug into the cigarette lighter for music. The adapter is capable of playing music and working for phone calls, but I have the headset profile turned off in my phone for that device so only the headphone profile connects.

On their own, each device works fine, but with both connected the vehicle bluetooth continuously connects and disconnects. Has anyone seen this before? How can I go about troubleshooting and fixing this so I can use both?

I have a stock GSM Nexus on 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] morbidz:
In my Camry I use built in BT for phone calls and plug in a BlackBerry Gateway into AUX port to stream music. So 2 BT devices are connected at the same time.All is working well, meaning when music is playing and the phone call comes in, Nexus switches to the correct BT device. The only issue I'm having is that sometimes I have to manually connect to the Blackberry gateway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stong98:
Thanks for the reply. I was kind of afraid of that. Unfortunately it seems like it is the vehicle bluetooth that is the problem, the one that I really can't replace or do anything with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckydude:
i have the same problem with my KIA CERATO Car

i went to service center , they changed the car audio player & them problem solved
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stong98:
Thanks for the feedback. I will do some testing with other bluetooth devices and my wife's iPhone to see if I can mount enough evidence to convince the dealer it is a problem with the truck and not my phone.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] splinters69:
Just received a new Xperia Ray locked to Orange. I have tried both the software update service and PC companion but both say my phone is up to date on 2.3.4.

The sony site says an upgrade is available for the phone (I even followed the link and upgraded my wife's Arc-S last night) but directs to install PC companion.

Orange suggest using the update function on the phone but none of these are updating; they all say I have latest firmware.

I checked the SI list and my code isnt there (well, not entirely) its SI 1254-3795.5

That last bit after the hypen doesn't relate to anything in that list.

Any idea how I can get it updated without rooting? Although there is a bit of Orange shovelware on there I would like to lose.

Phone was bought on 10th May from Orange online.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KristianKenneth:
ICS 4.0.3 has been distributed to all ray a month ago. A new ICS 4.0.4 is rolling out but there are numerous people claiming their SI number are in the list but update service says they have the latest firmware. I for myself has that problem. This must be a problem from sony server.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] splinters69:
Is there any way of getting the firmware and flashing it legally?

I presume from the Orange shovelware I mentioned that I am going to have to wait for Orange to release an update (complete with more of their stuff I dont want)?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] splinters69:
Just found this on the Sony support forum:

Even if SI numbers are added for the cell phones, updating the phones will not be possble, as Sony Xperia Support team Member Johan, said that there's some problem with the server, and so people runining GB currently will not be able to update using PCC or SUS. We need to wait, for the update to resume again, and all the problems with the servers removed.

Looks like patience is needed or I flash manually...:eek:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Or if your phone is branded, the operator might have blocked the updates for your phone. Then you have to contact Orange.

I've got the same problem with my Orange UK Ray, my issue is that's it's on a contract through work so I'm not sure I'm allowed to update the software unless I use the Sony website.

I contacted Orange to find out if they have a date for ICS on the Ray, they quoted "end of the year - more likely December rather than November"! I'm desperate for ICS, does anyone know if I void the contract if I upgrade to ICS by flashing the Nordic software?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chrispele:
I have an Orange UK Xperia Ray and got bored of waiting for ICS so I flashed mine to a stock 4.03 Central European firmware, which then updated to official 4.0.4 through PC Companion. This was a couple of months ago but Maps / Navigation is not as stable as GB, having frozen a couple of times so have mixed feelings. Flashing different firmware to the one it shipped with invalidates your warranty AFAIK...

If anyone has a copy of the UK Orange FW for SI 1254-3795 in .ftf format I would appreciate it for the stability and warranty, seeing as an official update is on the horizon.
