[LG Optimus Black] no14me:
NOVA is " Excellent High Quality Display" and save energy

Good performance to play game. I played some game you say and feel smooth

Camera is good too. but have litte dark.

GPU ~ Galaxy S ( PowerVR SGX530 vs 540)

We have nice custom ROMs

we will get ICS, but the biggest issue is LG. Yeah. LG is King of delay :))
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
the phone is great, will get ics and as they said run games smooth

but if you'll use it for the coming years, go for a dual or quad core phone

but still, this phone is great :D

i sold my optimus 3D(had a good offer) but won't sell my Optimus Black :)
[LG Optimus Black] robin.raven:
I think ICS LG OB finally not get officially, and I think that is not something to look forward from LG just look how badly ICS works with the new model LG Optimus L5...: (

LG OB are yet to be excellent especially display!:)
[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
It WILL get official ics

[LG Optimus Black] srik73:
The Phone is full value for money. Very Sleek, Stylish, light weight and an awesome display. Average Sound

LG promised official ICS. This time the delay is from TI who supplied chipset for the device.

But better than all these is the Community support. We have an amazing developer community here :)
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
Compared to the l5, this is twice the price and much more powerful

Robin.raven
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
This phone is really good, and the best for its price.

The screen of OB is excellent, and it's the brightest screen you can find today

The only disadvantage is the hardware, which is nice but not the best (1Ghz single core)

But if you look for the best smartphones nowadays, buy Samsung Galaxy Siii or LG 4X HD.

Just as the title says.I flashed back to stock last night, because I was having GPS issues, and camera problems.

Now I can't turn off the email sync. I get emails every hour about. This **** is killing my battery...

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mgawelek:
I have the headphones plugged in to listen to music and the phone speakers still play notify sounds and rings. I would like those to only be played in the headphones only when they are connected. I am using the headphones that came with the Samsung galaxy s3.

When in a work environment this is not ideal.

thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kt_coder:
I'm having the same issue! I haven't figured out what's wrong yet... It is quite puzzling.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] manny05:
I think it's a good feature incase we forget to unplug the headphones. I like it. But usually ill put my phone on vibrate to avoid this when I'm in public.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] SnakeEyez:
Yup this is a big annoyance, every phone I've had played the notifications inside the headphones except this one. Anybody find a solution yet?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] poppienutshell:
it's neither the rom u r on nor is it the kernel that is causing this. It's a problem in the google codebase. Apparently it's an enhancement as claimed by google. Beats me why.

There's no real fix so far. The ticket raised in google code has been sitting there for over 2 years with no response. I think asking here is pointless, believe me I've tried. I even had pple confidently telling me that it's normal for ALL phones :rolleyes:

So as long as google doesn't fix this, we can only depend on the various workarounds out there.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Narcistic:
Probably a patent stopping them from fixing it..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stan.s:
Or they want a couple bucks per install. That's the real issue, unlike classic ip such as ctl alt del which is a IBM patent, they charged in the penny range. Everyone wants to be a billionaire.....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] southy1978:
Does anyone know if this issue is fixed in JellyBean ?

Also, there is a Tasker workaround that basically mutes all notifications and then plays a media file when it detects a phone call or SMS:

Tasker Redirect Ringer to Headphone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] shades333:
Its actually a defect from samsung. My gf has this issue and I don't. Samsung told her that her phone was defective and to return it. I had her try my headphones and it still won't work. She will most likely return it since she uses the headphones all day at work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TWO515TY:
I will co-sign that this is a Samsung issue since I observed the same problem on the original Epic (Sprint Galaxy S) and also heard other reports of people with the same issues. None of my HTC phones have had this problem, so I'd have to point the finger at Samsung. I can't remember how we ended fixing it, but I think it may have involved reflashing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] demarcmj:
Yea. Never had this problem on my Incredible. This is one of my many annoyances with TouchWiz... right up there with the non-centered icon for the app drawer and the lack of lockscreen audio controls (in the standard lock screen)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] soul1992:
Im using beats headphone and when i put it in my mini the left audio has a minimal sound only not like d other one it has a big sound... what should i do...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] D1358531:
Is it just with your mini, or have you tried your headphones with something else?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] soul1992:
Yeah i try it on my lg optimus black and its working... what should i do....
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] D1358531:
Hmmm, I don't know...could it be the rom your using?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] soul1992:
How about you do you xpercience such situation lije that..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] genieass:
Just maybe that you are pushing it in too much or too little.

If I may ask....which rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] soul1992:
Im using a stock rom.. Chocobread 3.2
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] speed_bot:
did it have any water contact the plated part.if yes dry it for a dew mins....and try rotating the point when plugged in the device...it works when my stock headphones malfunction...if thes don work its a fw problem.................narrow down all the changes you made from the time it was working.....u will come to know the issue
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] BigTx:
It may be the headphone Jack of ur phone.

The minimal sound you hear on the "dead" headphone is probably caused by induction in the cable.

Now my friend having the same problem here.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] henderjr:
I purchased a cheap QuantumFX FM Transmitter recently. I just want to be able to listen to some audiobooks from my phone in my truck which doesn't have an aux input. So I hooked it up the other day and my mp3 audiobooks (or any other mp3) is super quiet. Can barely hear them at all and that's if I absolutely blast the volume to 100% on my phone and truck. But then I decided to try Pandora and it came through fine at regular volume levels. Doesn't make sense to me. All work fine using headphones. Anyone know why that is or have a potential resolution? Thanks

i tried to flash a rom and when it finished it turned off and now it wont turn back on. i have tried going into recovery and going into download mode and nothing. do you think a usbjig will work? or can i return it and just say the phone wont power back on?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fcortes626:
update: if i plug it in to my computer i can hear the notification my computer gives when i plug in a usb device but the tome is different. its like a deeper tone.

anyone?????
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zonly1:
So, you can get into recovery or no? Maybe look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27850974&postcount=7
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fcortes626:
no. i cant get into recovery nor into download mode. the screen shows nothing at all and the phone doesnt vibrate. i did the tmobile chat and she said they might need to exchange it but would take 7-10 business days. i didnt tell her it was rooted tho. i was hoping the usb jig would unbrick it. i have an old usb from my other phone. i already cut it and stripped it but i need a 300k resistor and radioshack doesnt open in 1 more hour.

i just checked device manager and if i plug in my device it shows QHSUSB_DLOAD with a yellow exclamation.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fcortes626:
update: i installed some drivers i found online and it now shows as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (com7) in device manager but odin wont recognize it still
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fcortes626:
so after doing the live chat with samsung and they wanted me to send them my phone to check it out and i had to wait 6-10 business days i went to my local tmobile store the guy tried to turn it on tried charging it and said to go back on wednesday because thats when they get them. so i am stuck with a loner phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zonly1:
That's a bummer...just curious...what ROM were you trying to flash?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Lantek23:
I didn't know there was roms to flash yet
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] avataranjie:
Then how'd it get bricked?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dasistsparta:
So how did u brick it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Radsolutionz:
worst case, take it back to tmobile tell them that it got really hot and turned off and wont power up. they wont check anything. just get a new one. and DONT FLASH ANYTHING UNTIL YOU READ UP ON IT! we are all using the Rooted stock rom. just chill out for now... ROMS WILL COME. this is the hottest phone on the market...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ECrispy:
I thought Samsung phones were unbrickable. Is this sort of thing common or was it a bad unit?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] wiser212:
Use the jig. I made one with parts from Radio Shack and it works on the S3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Hunt3r.j2:
You are wrong in this case because he hard bricked it, which is why he only sees the QHUSB_DLOAD mode.

That requires special software in order to flash, and we don't get access to it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fcortes626:
there isnt

i tried the cm9 fro international and changed the buildprop and bootimg

odin wont find my phone

flashed an international rom

yea i went yesterday and just said it wont turn on. he tried it and plugged it into the power outlet and nothing. he just said they dont get their shipments until wednesday(tomorrow) so i guess they will exchange it. good thing it was on warranty still. im guessing samsung wont be able to tell it was rooted since they cant access it and they will just reflash it and sell it as refurbished or something right?

i was going to try it but it didnt work out lol. all the pins fell. i also read it wont work with devices that have a blank screen

yup. i got qpst to see it but i dont know how to use that software so ill just wait until tomorrow. it was just some videos and pics i wanted to pull from the sd card. oh and i noticed the back cover was scratched so i want a new one lol. mus of happened when the tmobile guy got it out of the box and set it on the counter cuz i had a zagg cover all arround it.:mad: but oh well. i was the first to brick the s3 lol and that was the first phone i ever hard bricked. lesson learned haha
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Evocm7:
An unbrickable phone does not exist. The closest to unbrickable as you can get is an iPhone. But it can be bricked if you try hard enough I'm sure. Strapping an m80 to my iPhone seemed to do the trick as well
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TRusselo:
unbrickable phones do exist, almost all samsung galaxy phones are capable of getting the "unbrickable mod" which is a hardware modification that enables the phone to be re-flashed without working bootloaders. but unbrickable out of the box, no.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] fcortes626:
isnt the captivate unbrickable?

i read somewhere that there are some phones that boot from the sd card first and that those are unbrickable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Evocm7:
I believe there are some that are very difficult to brick such as a setup that boots from sd like you mentioned. Regardless of how difficult it is to brick, there is always some idiot out there that will do the impossible
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] yokozuna82:
i am on stock ICS rooted unlocked and now s-off i recently flashed a kernel not only did the kernel not take, event though recovery says it did but indicated by setcpu (set cpu max shows 1.2gz) but now my wifi doesnt work, im using the same sd card i used when doing s-off could this be the problem
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Boot sector is screwed up. Fastboot flash an unsecured boot.img, then try to reflash whatever kernel you were trying to flash in recovery.

Thanks ...I just downloaded and flashed a new ROM and now it works ...thanks
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Can anyone answer me these 2 questions? They're just eating away at me right now and its making me so confus.

1) Why does each Android device need to be individually updated to the latest OS? I mean they say its because the hardware is different on each device but look @ desktops and laptops, there are so many variable hardware parts yet every time Windows updates the old hardware is compatible with the new OS and updating is a breeze. Why is this so different for Android?

2) Why do manufacturers feel the need to lock phones down so much? For example, the only thing holding us back from having a functioning ICS ROM is the RIL, which Sammy refuses to release. Carriers and manufacturers alike get so much hate for always lagging on updating our phones to the latest OS, but if our phones werent so locked down they would never have to worry about updating a phone again because the dev community would take care of all of that for us. And if they decide that one of the 3rd party dev releases should be released OTA instead of forcing us to go online and do it ourselves then they could contact the developer and compensate them for their work so they could get permission to release it. They save time and the devs get money for something they normally do for free. Win win from my perspective.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
It comes down to drivers. Computers are a mix of parts that weren't necessary built to work together in the exact combination, so all of the manufacturers provide drivers to make their parts talk to the OS in a common language. Android phones have this too, but the drivers aren't generally available to us a users; they're only provided to the manufacturers, or written specifically by the OEM, and may be under various types of NDAs or close sources licenses. Android as an OS isn't written for a specific phone or device combination (save for the Nexus releases) and does not include the drivers, so it's up to the OEM to compile it with all the drivers needed to run on a particular piece of hardware. Without those drivers, the OS won't work with a particular device.

As for the RIL, it's my assumption that it's under a closed source license provided to the OEM. Samsung has been pretty open about things, so it's more likely it's Qualcomm/VIA that has the controls in place and completely out of Samsung's hands.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Reilly1812:
Shrike is dead-on with drivers. Lockdown is also a support issue. Support a couple hundred desktops where every tom **** and harry can do whatever they want? Service packs, patch Tuesdays. fun fun fun. lock it down and only deal with apk's that don't work or don't play well together. manageable chaos is the goal.
[NFC Hacking] JamesR913:
I am wondering if it is possible to use my HTC One X to unlock a door. I have looked on instructables.com and seen some how to's using rfid and arduino but they all had a key fob to unlock the door and I want to minimize what I have to carry not increase it. Does the android phone send out a signal that could be used to unlock a door or does it only receive?

You need a special lock that is currently only for hotels
[NFC Hacking] Zanith:
There is an ongoing discussion about getting the phone in emulation mode (so it can act as a card). When this is done it will be easy.

The locks are not exclusive to hotels, but are used mostly simply because its easy, cheaper, and gives them the ability to track if customers are in rooms or not.

A quick google found this code.google.com/p/nfcdoorlock/
[NFC Hacking] AsrMatt:
My company is currently beta testing the use of NFC to unlock doors at several college campuses. Our test bed has been a group of students using iPhones with a special case containing the NFC chip. It looks very promising since a student is less likely to forget a cell phone than an id card.

Hmm. Well either the poster above me wrote that article I read over a year ago or relayed it. Yes you would need the lock to be able to interface with your nfc device.

This lock can easily use RFID Tag

And is cheap and adpatable to any door.

Only problem, I don't find a way to use the phone NFC as a myfare card (which is the protocol of the lock)

you can find this lock on "bt security" french website.
[NFC Hacking] Nizda1:
Actually on kickstarter right now there's a project for basically very cheap Home automation and you can buy or make cheap addon devices. There using a mesh network interface from their base station and will be incorporating nfc by launch. The promo video of their product shows your phone alarm going off to wake you in the morning, then the blinds roll up and your coffee machine turns on. Just like issuing a Tasker command, except for the addon devices that for example your interface with the coffee machine is built into an outlet plug into the wall and your device interfaces directly with it via an arduino style product.

I t will be great when you can buy off the shelf NFC enabled door locks (with a mechanical backup of a key of course) along with car doors. IDK much about the tech yet as I don't live in a SUPER metro area but with good enough security It will be great to have more and more NFC devices. I would like to be able to buy a coffee from a dispenser just by flashing my phone. So although my phone has NFC I have yet to use it thous :crying:
[NFC Hacking] drumz0rz:
I don't really think this should be as cost prohibitive as people make it seem. I was thinking of building a door lock that uses NFC powered by an arduino. It would require a custom app on the phone, but using encryption and one time passwords, I think it would relatively easy to create a secure door lock.

The biggest hold up with electronic door locks is the need for a fail-safe backup, usually a key. Keys are easily picked in mere seconds. Electronic locks that have key fail-safes only act as a convenience not a level of added security. I'm envisioning a lock without that problem, but I won't go into too much detail because I really want to build one myself.
