[LG Optimus 2x] hidequick:
Hello I am new to android and the lg optmius 2x (p990) is my first ever android phone. And I am having some trubles with it.

I am looking to unlock it am I able to do this by "rooting" the phone to make it sim -free? it is curently LOCKED to fido (canada).

or what is the most simple way to unlock the phone? i have bought an unlock code but i get smome sort of neckwork error when i enter it making the phone still locked.

Thank you for the help and i am sorry if this is were it would not be.
[LG Optimus 2x] Pascalone19:
Strange that give you an error, I did it with a friend's phone and it worked perfectly! Once we bought the code and put it all went smoothly!
[LG Optimus 2x] hidequick:
Yes

Yes i bought the code punched it in the phone quickley read out a message and rebooted i poped in a new sim card nothing happend tryed another one still nothing no clue why..

the phone has never had a fido sim in it could this cause a problem? or is there a way to check if the phone is unlocked by not using a new sim card?
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
So are you saying you can access all features of your p990 but not the cellular network? i.e. you can access wifi and run apps but cannot make or receive phone calls?

If so, it sounds to me that you might have an issue with baseband/RIL. Try installing GETRIL from Google Play and see if you have a matching RIL for your baseband. If your phone is rooted, then you can use the app to update your RIL.
[LG Optimus 2x] hidequick:
Nope that did not a thing it said it was all good and i even still clicked update and install then rebooted and nothing.. i may just have to call LG on this one

What kind of Quadrant scores are you getting with your ROM?

I have the Hell Fire V1.3

On SimpleCM9. :x I/O is a lot slower. Nonetheless, I love vanilla ICS so I'll be sticking with it.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Here is mine. GedeROM v1.55

Lol, your I/O score is boosting your score. XD
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] TommyGun$:
BTW I should have mentioned that I was OC @ 1200
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Here is mine on gedeROM v1.6

The Linaro code seems to help a bit.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Goth_:
I get 3610 On Energy ICS CM9.

As requested.

GedeROM 1.55, OC'ed to 1.2 GHz with performance governor.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Did you modify it in any way?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] airmaxx23:
Not at all, for some reason my scores are always very high with this Kindle.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Looks like it's your I/O score.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] King_Stannis:
I'm at 3468 running hellfire's 1.3 and the new Hashcode kernel. Oc'd at 1200 with performance governor.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] serx7:
Holy I/O Batman I mean airmaxx. On my Kindle, Gede seems to yield better Memory subscores (3400-3500 vs 2000 on other CM9 ROMs). Hellfire seems to yield (much) higher I/O subscores. However, across all CM9 ROMs I've tried, Antutu seems to be pretty consistent, in the 6100 range for my Kindle.

Curious what Antutu you get (?)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluefoxox:
Is it possible to upgrade the flash player for the laptop dock (webtop) on a rooted Atrix 4G using the stock ROM?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pricka:
maybe... you can
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exwannabe:
The main issue you have is that the apt-get database (webtop is ubuntu) is totally hosed.

Go over to the dev sub forum and look into the "webtop to sd card" thread (there is also another thread on just "fixing" webtop in place but I forget the title).

There are also other options if you are more ambitious. "Full debian on webtop" or the "Gentop" mod have complete replacements that let you upgrade everything.

Word Miner is for anyone who enjoys scrabble, scramble, boggle, words with friends, crossword, spelling or any kind of word puzzle games.

Currently in Word Miner you can play 2 seperate spelling games, each gives you it's own rewards that can then be used in either game. Only from a combination of these can you find precious Moonstones.

== GEM VEIN ==

Gem Vein is a timed spelling game. You must drag letters from your tray up into a grid. Once placed they cannot be moved. So place them wisely.

Attempt to spell words both horizontally and vertically. They must be at least 3 letters long. However, 4 letter words will score a 2X word bonus and 5 letter words are a 3X word bonus. So it's to your advantage to spell longer words.

Unlike scrabble, letter combinations that do not spell words can be placed. They just won't give you any points. When the time runs out the game will calculate and reward you a gem based your score.

== GOLD RUSH ==

In Gold Rush random letters start dropping into a grid. You can move the letters around as much as you wish and try to spell words.

On the first level, once you create a word that's at least 3 letters long those letters will be scored and then removed. If you have enough letters scoring at the same time you may be rewarded with a BONUS BLAST. In which case several random letters on the board will also be scored and removed.

The game does speed up over time and bonus blasts become harder to achieve.

Every level will require more letters scoring before they are removed. As soon as the grid is full, the game will be over. If you score enough points you will be rewarded a precious metal.

== EARNING GEMS ==

As you earn gems from playing Gem Vein you can use them in all games.

Each gem has a different bonus. Some allow you to score a letter instantly (thus freeing up a grid space you may want to drop a better letter in). Some gems will transmute the ore on a tile to a better one, thus make that letter worth more points.

When you break a gem, don't worry, that gem isn't gone forever. It'll still be available next time you play.

Some gems require more taps than others to break. Look at the little number in the lower right of the gem once you've put it in it's socket, to know how many taps are remaining.

== FINDING PRECIOUS METALS ==

Every time you earn a precious metal in Gold Rush there is a chance a new tile in both games will be infused with it. The more precious metals you unearth, the higher the probability one will randomly appear.

Don't forget that breaking some gems will transmute tiles to a better metal, and give you a greater bonus.

== MOONSTONES ==

Moonstones can only be earned in Gem Vein by scoring 1000 points.

They can only be used to unlock future games and have no function within game play.

In order to reach 1000 points you'll need to play a combination of both Gem Vein and Gold Rush, earning both gems and precious metals.

Each will allow you to score the bonuses necessary to achieve this feat.

Good luck!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] libihero:
i dropped my flyer and now i have a couple of verticle lines going straight down the screen. im still waiting to see how much it'll cost to repair, but if its too much, i will probably just buy a new tablet

i thought the flyer was great, especially with the stylus, but seeing how it is losing support, i was wondering if there was any other 7 inch tablets out there that had the same quality stylus support as the flyer?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] j510:
Yea the EVO view tab
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] libihero:
Something that is gonna be supported in the next year with at least ICS :p
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jprednik:
One problem we all have;

when devs update the SW by 0.0.1 we all need to get one. Hmmm really?

Fu*k all the upgrades as long as device is doing what u need for ya. I love Flyer and wont cry ower ICS, wich is already old and off date by JB. Blah. Updating new devices to be able to load up lates OS doesent look smart anymore specially with costs of devices... and obviuslly mine payment at work.

Looks like all this upgrades r onlly to push u to buy new devices. 500€ for phone this days... I mean common. Flyer was what 600€ or even more when came out...

Blah...

I love HC Leedroid rome 4.3 with Holo luncher now.

So on the end, buy ICS compatible device today and stay out of JB suport tomorow. Run to the store for new one. No recesion in the world i would say :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Samsung is having great success with stylus integration based on the Galaxy Note, which is getting ICS updates. They are about to release a series of tablets with stylus, I would look at those.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cmunho:
I got a Note recently to replace my iphone. I hardly ever use my flyer now. The Note obviously has a smaller screen, but does have a higher resolution.

So, my flyer is now for sale ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] libihero:
haha i WISH my flyer could last me the next five years, but if i have a choice with a device that is no longer going to be supported or upgraded and a newer device, i have to go with the newer one :p

i know the galaxy note is great, but i want something that is wifi only :(

by surfing online, it really seems that the flyer was a one of a kind tablet with its stylus.... its so sad that it didnt sell well and htc is giving it a cold shoulder
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
The next set of Samsung tablets will have pens so don;t cry about Flyer.

HTC's poor sales record has been noticed by Microsoft. MS does not want HTC to build its first Windows 8 tablets.

I am on EL29 just rooted w recovery will I still get OTA updates?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Yes but it will fail to install
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
How did you root if sfhubs I suggest you go back and read his thread quite Andes tools to check OTA compatibility for upgrades. All info needed is there for you and a Google search would of helped you out as well...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ewmccraw:
Such a helpful response....spelling, not so much.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Just rooted no other changes it will not fail. You will lose root by taking the OTA and at this point rooting the OTA will be the same as flashing the OTA manually, so not really a point in worrying about it. No one knows for sure what date we will get what, but EL29 was leaked days before it OTA'd for example.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Spelling is ok but thanks for your response. Voice talk and quick submit button was the victim but once again thanks for your kind words

Edit:

by the way what I was trying to say sfhub has tools that check your OTA compliance and his methods of rooting do not mess you up for taking an OTA but honestly why are you taking an OTA anyways... my bad had to ask, it is your choice...

Hey ewmccraw did I spell everything right? :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ewmccraw:
I may have misunderstood your response to the OP, but I felt like you were rebuking him a little for not using google search first as opposed to just posting the question. I apologize if I did. It's just a little pet peeve of mine when that happens. After all, it's just the internet and that's the whole purpose of a forum. You know, free discussion and all that....again, sory if I missunderstud (see what I did there?) ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I get it that its a forum and no prob but that does not mean you forget everything that got you to this point and that would be the search function. I will suggest using the search function as well as providing an answer... No prob and I think you spelled discusion wrong----(see what I did there) LOL
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DroidManIc:
Thanks for the answers. Well the reason I wonder is because once we get ICS source and ROMs start getting built won't it be easier to flash ICS ROMs instead of having to switch around different kernels/ recoveries to flash and risk of brick will be lower? And I just didnt do a ton of searching because I been busy posting is faster.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
No problem man but why rely on others doing your research for you. Actually if you put your question into Google you could of found your answer even faster... Jus Sayin'

Happy Flashing my friend!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DroidManIc:
No offence dude but I don't post so ppl can do the research 4 me, I post so that ppl that already know the answer can help out. Thats what the Q&A section is for. Thanks though.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iphonedownload:
Sorry, I have been searching for a while now and just don't have the answer. I used TWRP to load AOKP-38 on my Fire. Now I want to load the google play store and get the netflix app, but I'm not sure how to install the apk. I have it, and I put it on the SD card at the root thinking I could install it that way through the install function of TWRP, but that has to be a zip file, and I am just not sure how to do it. I've been searching but I'm getting worn out and no answer. I read about side loading possibly, but not sure what that is. I saw mention of that in the fire beginners thread, but I still don't know anything about the procedure. I'm on a Mac if it helps to know for any help.

I was previously on the Modaco rom so this was all kind of done for me since I was still using the stock fire interface.

Please tell me how and thanks for helping me install it. :) I'm borderline frustrated since I haven't been able to solve it myself, and I just wanna get Netflix on it and watch some Top Gear UK. :)

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iphonedownload:
Thank you, I've installed the rom and it works of course though it looks like I'm back to stock. I did like the other one however, just wanted the google play store. Was I supposed to reset EVERYTHING and wipe clean like i did? I screwed that up. What was the proper way to keep the ROM and install this?

I lived with stock ICS for about 10 days. I really prefer it to GB, but there are nuisances as well. Like everything getting stuck for about 10 seconds sometimes.

Do you think moving to a third-party ICS ROM would be a good idea? Which ROM is usually the best?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehackersz:
Cassie literom or cm9 nightly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
ICS... I don't think any wow factor in there.. I have been using ICS since its release. Now am in custom ICS... Here are the main concerned for me. (may be still I didn't figured it out a soution)

1.Social network??? No Facebook support for contacts and calendar (third party works good but what is the meaning of smartphone?)

2. Text to speech???? I couldn't find talk back and couldn't setup navigation speech guidance (being a big headache)

3. Smooth????.... Ahhh no.. Not comparable to windows 7.5 or some other low end HTC devices (like wildfire S exampe)

4. Speed??? Yes ofcourse... I can feel the difference.. But I am not a rocket launcher to be perfect in micro seconds in everything.. GB is not less in this.

5. Performance??? I don't think they have used real potential of the processor and graphics

6. Additional Features???? Where is it... Where is it... Where is it....

7. UI??? I can vote here..

8. Memory handling.??? I have used number of apps in GB and I never I got once that am running out of memory...

9. Safety???? OMG.. Definitely no wipes.. Till a bug fix.

10. User friendly??? I don't think anything has improved form GB.

These are all my perspectives... I'm not a skilled user or developer.. Definitely developer may have the fix for these.. But I feel a major update should satisfy a normal person like me. That I don't find in the update and setting up something should be smart and effortless.

Now am planning to go back to GB if I couldn't solve all these.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thameera:
There aren't any known drawbacks in these ROMs I hope? Heard that not everything worked alright with the early ICS ROMs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thehackersz:
Current CM nightly works for me in every angle.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
CM9, always go for AOSP. So much advantages over TouchWizzed roms - especially if you look at performance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyanv:
I have seen some developers using CM9 rom as base I think... Do you prefer anything particular?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
For me i swear by CM9, it`s solid, fast and most issues (should they arise) are solved within a couple of days (nightly`s). You will loose the S-pen options but there are apps in the Playstore for that.

AOSP/AOKP is also solid and fast but is more costumizable as for UI, but less updates .

I guess it`s best to both try them out and decide what suits you best.

Asylum. Totally lightweight, can be tailored into anything you want, smooth as silk and quick as a lightning.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thameera:
Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm going to try CM9 first. But it seems Galaxy Note isn't listed in the cyanogenmod.com supported devices list. Where can I get the latest ROM for Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thameera:
Thanks! One more question. Will following those steps wipe everything currently there is in my phone? Like all the apps installed and data in the sdcard?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chintamanijaipuri:
It will wipe all the apps..

Data on SD card will be safe..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thameera:

[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
My father works at a top call center for Sprint. He handles early upgrades for customers.

This is what he told me when he got off work:

Sprint is now doing "early buy-upgrades"

***DEPENDING ON HOW FAR OUT YOU ARE FROM YOUR ORIGINAL CONTRACT ENDING*** you pay a fee + the cost of the phone (nationally advertised new customer price, i.e. $199.99 for the Evo LTE).

Example: I asked my dad, I'm 10 months out from my contract ending, how would I go about obtaining the Evo LTE.

Response: If you're within 3 months, $45 early buy upgrade fee. Since you're 10 months out, $95 upgrade fee. This early buy upgrade fee is billed to your account. The cost of the phone, ($199.99) MUST BE PAID UPFRONT. No billing hardware device costs to the account.

In other words, for me (10 months out), it would cost $95 (billed to account) + $199.99 for the Evo LTE (paid upfront).

EDIT: In other words, you're essentially paying a scaled fee to reset your eligibility. Of course, if you choose this option, your contract resets, and you won't be eligible again for another 22 months (as usual).
[HTC EVO 3D] benthe1:
I've heard about people doing this but they didn't say anything about having to actually buy the phone right then and there. Hmmm...
[HTC EVO 3D] G.Newton:
My father told me Sprint STOPPED billing hardware/device costs to accounts. Too much fraud was occurring.

Example: bill the Evo LTE to account, pay early termination fee. You keep phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] dgomez720:
what people have to remember is that, NOT EVERYONE IS AVAILABLE TO DO SO. this is for select customers (of course, the majority will be eligible, go figure). You need to call and verify that you are available to do so, if you are, you have to make sure you don't have to go through telesales. If they tell you you are, tell them to put notes into your account letting retail stores know that you have chosen this option otherwise they will look at you like your an idiot...just saying. I was a tech for Sprint for a while. I have had to deal with customers all pissed off because some information was lost on the way through word of mouth.. ITS ANNOYING not having all the facts. plus it speeds up your process within the stores... food for thought :cool:

[HTC EVO 3D] RuckusDecay:
It says to buy out the contract if your between 18-20 you'll pay 100 which gets biilled and pay upfront the 199.99 for the smart advanced phones non advanced is 50 so....which basically $300 but if u sell your phone then surely it would cost u maybe 150 give or take

For that price you can go out and Buy a Design or EVO 3D on boost mobile straight up. And have a decent phone with no contract and cheaper bill and it would only continue to go down every 6 months if you paid your bill on time. If you step back and think about it. Its really crazy the things we all do just to get these new phones.......digital heroin

This makes no sense what so ever.. you could loose your plan which sprint will no loner honor. Also extending by two more years? Whats to say a better phone wont come out by the time your contract is up? I'm just saying if you want the upgrade it makes sense to buy it rather than add 2 years.. just my two cents.
