[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark.r22:
Hi everyone, I just flashed the new paranoidandroid v1.1 ROM but my phone is stuch on the purple ics symbol. I've tried reflashing the firmware to 4.0.3 XXLPB and flashed it twice, still stuck. Then again from 2.3.6 XWKL1, still nothing. It then goes into kernel panic upload mode. Both firmwares were rooted and i flashed via CWM. Any ideas guys? I would really appreciate the help or some detailed step-by-step instructions.

Cheers,

Any news for linaro update on P920? Hahaha I know just wondering
[LG Optimus 3D] Masinac:
As I know Linaro optimisations are submited to CM and awaiting approval, if CM team approves it will be integrated in every CM based ROM and all CM supported devices will get great speed boost.
[LG Optimus 3D] Trekfan422991:
Or we could port linaro

Thats the spirit.

They are being merged to the ICS branch only, ie it will not be in Gingerbread devices.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehackersz:
My phone got crack at the front housing just beside the screen at the both side. I went to the Samsung outlet yesterday to ask for the warranty repair and that guy told me that crack housing is not cover under warranty. He told me, if I want to replace the front housing I need to replace the motherboard too because the front housing is attached together with the motherboard. He also told me the price is around RM700 = $250. My question, should I brick my phone so they can replace the front housing ? My phone is white colour and the crack is so obvious.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawgirlval69:
the motherboard is screwed to the frame...the flex cables unplug easily and the screws remove easily... i can take it apart in 3 minutes... so someone is feeding you a bunch of bull****... no i wouldnt brick it.. i would report them to samsung.... someone is trying to pocket some $$$$ as for the cracks..that should be a warranty if there is no obvious damage that caused the cracks... again id contact samsung and ask someone there and report the shop that stated this to you...

When my Galaxy S2 (S II) has been locked and is supposed to be asleep, it flashes the lock screen for 5 seconds or so once every minute, and then goes black again. I have had to charge it twice a day.

Last night, I charged it to 100% and unplugged it just before bedtime and left it overnight with WiFi and GPS switched off. In mid-morning next day, BetterBatteryStats showed these numbers --

... other processes insignificant.

Are these times normal? What process displays/flashes/wakes the screen? I can't trace any app that might do this, except perhaps Noom Walk.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rudds1972:
I tried to update my G2x yesterday via the LG updater tool. Long story short, it froze on the S/W Updating screen and neither T-Mo or LG support could assist in getting it fixed.

I read that it was pretty hard to brick the G2x so I decided to give it an all out effort to resurrect it, especially after the T-Mobile tier two tech support told me there was nothing that could be done, if what he had tried didn't work, the phone was toast. I am just a woman who is more technical than the average woman my age, but I don't mod my phones much in general. I tweak.

I will list what all I have tried, as much in order as I can recall since starting this Friday at noon, don't laugh! (oh the phone is currently working, only 3g and with this Wind ancient looking version)

Flashed CWM on phone (tried all versions at some point in the process)

Totally cleared phone

Tried KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.exe to flash V21E_00 and V21Y_00 Neither would work

Flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 Worked, looked beautiful, wifi but no cell service, no baseband, no IMEI

Flashed kdz WIND V11h - everything working but only at 3g

I thought if I got back to something that would put back in a baseband and my IMEI, I could find my way back to the most current update. I can't seem to flash anything new though.

I've tried this :http://xdaforums.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=1149

and this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25321356

Both awesome and helpful posts but I can't get anything other than this V11h!!

Help! And thanks! And I am sorry if this seems ridiculously easy, I think my brain quit working about 6 hours ago!

Oh, my question is, how do I go about getting it at least back to where it was? (Never updated from stock, March of 2011)

I'm by no means an expert -- an advanced amateur, maybe :) -- but I'll do my best.

What exactly were you trying to update when you bricked the phone? You said you were using the LG updater tool, but what exactly were you trying to do? Was your phone already rooted prior to the attempted update? Had you made any modifications to your phone or were you running stock? That may help us get to the root of your problem.

Are you still able to get into the S/W update screen using the directions in the PDF you attached? (Ie: if you remove the battery, hold both volume buttons, and then plug in the USB, does your phone turn on and go into software update mode?) If you can get it into this mode, you should be able to flash the stock TMobile ROM using NVFlasher as in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

This may get you back to step one, and you can try again. Or maybe at that point, someone more knowledgeable will come around with better advice. :)

Good luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rudds1972:
Thanks for your quick reply!

I was trying to uh...update to 2.3.4 Gingerbread to hopefully help resolve some minor but longstanding issues I had had with my phone. Mainly, the random reboot and powering off I was really getting sick of.

My phone was not rooted prior to this. I was running stock.

Yes, I can still get into the S/W updater screen following the instructions in the .pdf I posted.

And funny you should post this thread: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1056847

That is where I originally started when my phone first froze. I have tried to flash to stock using the NV flasher right before I posted the original question. It didn't do a thing and that's when I threw my hands up and decided I needed help!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dorkknight:
heh... I can totally relate to throwing your hands up. I just started tinkering with my phone a couple of months ago, and the first night, I spent from 10:00pm until about 5:00am just trying to get Cyanogenmod installed. It was frustrating, but after a lot of reading and re-trying, I finally got it to work.

Okay, when you run NVFlasher, do you get any messages at all? Once you click one of the buttons to flash the phone, I believe a DOS window should popup showing you the status of the flash, whether there are errors while flashing or if it completed successfully. If there are errors, be sure you have the proper APX driver installed, which should be included with the NVFlasher package. What OS are you using on your PC? Windows XP? 7? When you have the phone plugged into the USB and the S/W update screen is showing, you should see "'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery" listed in your windows device manager.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rudds1972:
lol...10pm to 5am eh? Sounds like me, I was (sounds crazy) noon Friday until 2am Sat and started up again around 9am and well...here I sit at 3 am my time, with a few breaks thrown in!

When I run NV flasher, it all goes smoothly. It looks totally complete, no errors. And I am familiar with the errors, the first few hours I had nothing but errors and dead ends. I have the proper APX driver for sure, I thankfully, run XP on this computer. And yes to the "'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery" listed in your windows device manager. "

Scratching your head like me? I don't want to do Cyanogenmod again, which is what I am tempted to do, thinking now that I have the baseband back, the cell phone service would work. I really just want my phone back the way it was, albeit, updated..ok, so not exactly the way it was!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Currently on phone, so no links. But in other lg device forum on xda there is the "offline updater method" of kdz flashing. It tricks lg updater into using a custom kdz and not to check online. Look for v21y.kdz and use that. Its 2.3.4.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] beccadevin:
If you can get it working with the old wind mobile rom all you have to do is use the official lg tool from their website and it will update to the latest version for you I had the same problems you are talking about and the only thing I could get to work was the lg offline update tool and flashing the old wind mobile rom after i got that working just went to lg and used their program and it updated me to new baseband an 2.3.4.

This is what you will have to do. It took me a while to figure it out. But when you have the programs and files you need all downloaded and setup it works without being online. It worked for me once I figured it out. I had to read it a few times and do some searching for all the files but they are out there. If you do not find them via this site Google it. Good luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rudds1972:
Done! Thank you all!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dorkknight:
Awesome! What finally worked for you?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rudds1972:
Hmmm...can I even remember?? My brain is still swimming in downloads and error messages!

I had tried the offline updater earlier, but the "Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs" file never would load, I kept getting an error on line 25. I downloaded it all again from other links, and this time I thought it would go through but I kept getting an error at line 70 something.

I finally read "instruction.docx" (the steps that the vbs file was going to have me follow) lol

I turned the windows enabler to the ON position.

I also disabled my LG modem first as I had read that on the .pdf file I posted earlier and it had allowed me to get Wind on there.

I disabled my firewall and anti virus temporarily also.

I opened the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe set it to "3GQCT" and "EMERGENCY" and chose the V21y kdz

I hit "Normal web upgrade test"

Then start upgrade or something and the LG updater tool opened, it found my phone, I think I pressed Start upgrade or whatever again, waited, held my breath too long, passed out, woke up VOILA! DONE! :D

That is a VERY rough translation of what I did, I have had so many trial and error attempts and variations of settings, files etc, that I don't know what really finally worked! But thank you for your encouragement last night, because I was really about to give up for good (thus the last ditch "when all else fails ASK for help" post) and throw not only my hands up, but the phone across the room!

Now I am finally getting around to re loading my apps and all my settings, ringtones, etc etc etc. I don't know if I now love or hate my G2x!

Thanks to everyone for their replies! And everyone else who posts here and helps so many novices like me!

No luck installing the March 2012 baseband

What does "disabling the LG modem" mean?

I have a Wind P999 phone with the V11h base band. Of course, the LG updater tool says that I have the latest baseband.

I tried updating using the KDZ tool but that did not work. for me.

I tried pushing a T-mobile Stock Rom too. It did not updated the baseband. LG tool still says I have the latest update.

I have also tried the hack of using the LG Updated with a local shttp server. But even then, when I pressed the "Normal web upgrade test" and "Start update" nothing happens.

Am I supposed to get some feedback while the upgrade happens? How long does this process take?

I am using Window 7 Ultimate 64-bit. All antivirus disabled.

Anything else I could try?

BTW, I have been able to revive a bricked p999 T-Mobile phone that I got from Ebay. it has the stock T-MObile Rom with the March 2012 baseband and software version v21y. This Wind phone is just testing me :(

This is YOUR thread specifically for NEW Evo LTE Owners or Members that Came From Another Device or Operating System to the Evo LTE...

I know quite a few members/friends that have migrated back to this Forum and figured a thread to "introduce" or "re-introduce" former Samsung, LG, Sony, Motorola, ore even iOS users back to the HTC way of life... Especially since compared to other UI's, operating systems or even the OG Evo Sense version is alot different and sometimes hard to adapt to.​

2. Is there a way to disable Sense and use the default ICS launcher?

No. That would be nice, but I've found that the newest version of Sense is not so bad! At least not as bad as it was on the OG Evo!

HTC removed the default launcher starting with the second froyo update to the og evo, they never explained why but honestly when you have teams working to make a whole new experience for android and people are just switching back to stock it does tend to screw with the people who spent hundreds of hours pouring over code and trying to design something that can stand out in an oversaturated market, and it shows that they atleast try to listen to their customers, sense is pretty scaled back and streamlined compared to the older bloated mess that just added on top of what was there to try and keep up with and anticipate customer demand

I am wondering is there is any way that we could control the focus of the camera manually "not like touch to focus" like when we do zooming instead of it will change the focus so it give us stable focus on that point!!

I hope my idea is clear!! :confused:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] optik19918:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mixters:
I think he meant that instead of zooming while pressing the volume up and down buttons, that the camera should refocus, like it does when you tap the screen.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krabappel2548:
You can use the camera button to focus ;)

I take pictures on manual mode all the time and that means pictures in low light with less noise :D

About the focusing, just press the camera button a little bit and then your phone will focus, if you don't like the focus just let the button go and try again while holding the phone slightly different with light source etc, then you can really make nice pictures :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ahmedoxo:

I've used some phone from Japan, mainly from Sharp, and all of them have manual focus. It's extremely convenient, especialy when you need to capture something in close distance, like die-casts. They run on customized Symbian, so IMO, Symbian has some driver/libs to support manual focus

I don't know if new Android phones sold locally in Japan can manual focus or not, since I haven't had a chance to take a look of them. But I think Android platform can support that, because the stock Gingerbread ROM on Optimus 2X has manual focus.
