it never fell, and i only use the pen very very rarely

how come it got this scratch i don't know

is there a way to get it off
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrew0811:
i don't think you can remove scratches from screen, i have tried many different ways, btw it is a good idea to post a screenshot.

I went to the ghost armor kiosk last week to get a custom full body put on my phone until the official ones arrive. I am going tomorrow morning to get the official one put on. Which do you guys suggest? Clear back or Matte? I'm undecided. I know I dont want carbon fiber. BTW I have the pebble blue version
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
Since this model is new, i assume all facts are new too.

- SAFE mode is started by holding

Vol+ and power button

at the same time at startup.(adb shell is enabled, nothing is running(single user mode?)

- FIRMWARE upgrade mode seems to be

Vol-

with USB cable connected at power-on.

- APX mode is started by holding

Vol+ and Vol- down at the same

time at power up(when pressing power).

* since we do not have a bootloader.bin yet, it will be hard to try anything. can we use htc onex bootloader.bin?

* tegra3 is also locked with a SBK, which we do not have either (i believe).

-Battery mode

Turn off mobile. attach USB cable to pc and mobile. turn on mobile.

- adb reports shell not found and some root details?

im still digging into the fastboot mode, so information can be extracted on the rom rel. etc.. maybe someone already knows?

ill keep this updated, if i find out more.

Do you have APX drivers for 4X ?

I read that Asus will release NVFlash for Asus Prime.

Do you think it will also work for us?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dexter_nlb:
I believe they for a fully working apx mode since prime got a full recovery using apx mode?

Nothing happens. Nothing shows on screen. When i hook it to computer, it makes a noise that it found some device, and in device manager shows as APX, instead of as modem or anything else....
[LG Optimus 4X HD] jaob22:
Bricked. APX mode only

Did you find how to fix it?. I have the same issue after a failed upgrade using LG mobile support tool.

No SW upgrade mode, no screen or leds activity, no nothing. When is connected to PC, APX device is recognized. I found some drivers and the APX device is displayed now as "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices". I'm stuck there. I was looking into NVflash utility but after the command "nvflash --sync" only get "unknow device found"

Can anybody help me please?.

How can I get into SW recovery mode or something that shows some activity from the phone?.

Thanks and regards

i guess not much can be done. sent mine to the service center and got it back 3 days later fully functional. i guess it's easier to restore for LG since they have all the tools and magic keys.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] myshu2006:
Hello!

just happened to me.

apx mode you solved anything?

one can solve?

Thank you!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
NVflash doesn't work, at least after upgrade to JB.

Before give your devices as bricked, try to enter in S/W without battery a few times and after with battery on.

Sometimes stressing the device have some results.

But the best you can do is take it to service.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] jaob22:
Thanks gingerboy92. I follow your advice and my phone is in a LG service center now. Hope they can fix it.

I think that's the only safe way to recover it. Looks like Tegra 3 devices have security keys that are unique for each processor and without them you can't go further.

Amigo ruedaslocas, I tried many times to do what you say, unsuccessfully. Thanks anyway.

What do you think will we see 4.1 on our devices ? :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qqtyin:
Probably yes, as we saw ics, will come 4.1
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sivra:
Well, altough it should be possible I think we could have a bit of a problem with Jelly. If I'm not mistaken in Jelly CPU works in conjunction with GPU to draw interface and that is how it was possible to lock it at constant 60 fps.

Our phones have noticably slower GPU and CPU than for example Galaxy nexus and I doubt it would be possible to lock it at 60fps. And even if it is possible to achieve that kind of performance it would hog a CPU immensly and drain battery like crazy when in use.

This is only a theory :D, don't take it for granted.

Apple is going to destroy itself with all this. Human curiosity is going to be their downfall. When one person goes after another person gossip happens. Well same thing with companies. And cuz of human curiosity iOS users will switch over to Android to find out what the big deal is. Apple is almost self destructive. I left apple iOS devices because of their take it or leave it attitude.

Why don't you make the thread in the Galaxy Nexus forum instead, where it's a lot more relevant? We'd be swimming in threads of Apple lawsuits if we discussed every single one. This isn't an all-things-Android forum, this is the HTC One X general forum.

And yes, I know Apple has a lawsuit against this device. We already have a thread for that.

Here's what's stupid about this injunction, They're suing Samsung based on SOFTWARE. The Gnex is Pure Google and Samsung isn't responsible.

Does this mean that Google and their huge litagation team will step in?
[General Topics] _MetalHead_:
Hopefully this will prompt Google to finally step in and give Apple a swift kick to the nuts. Unfortunately, Apple has umpteen billion dollars and literally nothing to spend it on so no matter what Google fires back at Apple with, they'll just hire more and more lawyers until they get their way.
[General Topics] Sully6789:
God I hope so. Its time for Google to put a stop to this BS. I understand what apple is doing going after the OEM's in hopes to deter them from using Android. But its just getting out of hand now. The Gnex is in no way similar to an iPhone. They're just going after the most threatening device to them just like they already tried with the GS3. Its pathetic really. Apple did not invent EVERYTHING.

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/story/2012-03-28/cnbc-survey-apple-products-us-homes/53827254/1

I won't blame judge for doing her job. But, Samsung keeps pushing buttons even after so many lawsuits (S-voice - really?). It is crappier than Siri. Google Nexus is a target because it is made by Samsung. Eventually, Google will become party to the lawsuit and things will heat up once more. I won't entirely blame Apple for doing what they are - it is all about business, they are not charitable foundation. It is still legal to sue your competitor if you believe they are stealing intellectual property - doesn't really mean they really are. But, it is a good business tactic. It keeps Samsung's margins low i.e. less money for them to invest in engineers and more money for lawyers. Half of the android vendors are anyways paying Microsoft $5 - $15 per device. They may also just want to add Apple to the list and pay them some money to go away.

[General Topics] mistermentality:
Actually on this occassion apple can't sue. Although apples patent is very broad in its range and can effectively be used to cover other types of glasses display googles was specific to a wearable display with finger control.

Had google not been so specific then apple could sue. As it is apple will bring out their version and the world will no doubt think apple came up with the idea and that google copied it but at least apple can't sue this time.

At least in theory :)

"Google’s patent is very specific to Google Glass — it’s for a wearable display with an integrated finger-tracking input sensor. Apple’s on the other hand, seems pretty broad, covering a variety of head mounted display technology implementations."

http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/07/apple-patent-hud-display/

google patent:

very specific, clearly done to protect a real product

apple patent:

comprehensive, clearly done to be used against competitors

basically apple acts in two ways:

1) they obtain patents for something invented by others

2) they obtain patents for all the ideas they won't carry out, this is just wrong and i can't understand why US patent system and courts say it's ok.

For example, let's say apple has been granted a patent for the time machine, of course just the idea, long time later someone else will invent the time machine, then apple will lawsuit and rob them. Scienze fiction? just because of the time machine, all the rest already happens nowadays.

Patents expire, so time machine maker needs to travel forward to when the patent has expired, then make a mint sayin "you mad bro?" to Apple. Especially if he also goes back in time and buys Apple stock, selling it at a high to pay for his time machine business.

[General Topics] djricekcn:
Didn't Samsung kind of start all this though? I mean, they did sue Apple all over the world and now Apple is doing the same to them...that's why I think it's directed to Galaxy Nexus only and not the other Nexus or Google devices that isn't Samsung.
[General Topics] lykos:
Nexus S is made by Samsung. Samsung also has a whole lot of other phones. They obviously targeted the Galaxy Nexus to spite Google. Also, Apple started the war with all the patenting they do on products they never use or they stole from others.
[General Topics] mistermentality:
It was apple who started it actually because Steve Jobs vowed to destroy android and this is how he planned to win.

Also it is not just directed at Samsung but HTC and aimed to bring down android.

Here's an interesting link detailing a lot of apple lawsuits over the years http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc._litigation you'd be surprised at just how many they have, they even sued a school once because its logo included an apple.

Taken from the wikipedia article linked above (thanks to mistermentality):

"those cases include sellers of apples (the fruit), as well as many others' less unassuming use of the term 'apple'."

To all the apple's fanboys:

do you realize that you, along with the company you worship, are getting totally, absolutely, hopelessy ridiculous? can't you really realize that?
[General Topics] Asperity:
They're abusing FRAND because they aren't offering these patents under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms. Motorola is asking for 2.25% of gross sales of the iPhone. I don't believe they are allowed to charge whatever they want for "payback." The royalty itself can certainly apply to previously sold devices, but the terms must comply with FRAND (Source).

In regards to FRAND video codecs, Motorola sought a royalty of $22.50 per device from Microsoft when the average FRAND patent royalty fee is a mere $0.02. This is why Google and Motorola are drawing anti-trust investigations. (Source).

Motorola has gone so far as to contend that FRAND obligations are non-binding. (Source).
[General Topics] xdaid:
So, 2.25% is an abuse while banning the best products of the competitors for minor (alleged) infringements is right. hmm weird.
[General Topics] Asperity:
I never said this, so please don't put words in my mouth.
[General Topics] xdaid:
well ok you're right but:

A against B, i say B is wrong and no comment on A. What will the other people understand?
[General Topics] Juoin1001:
TBH I don't really know much about how the whole patent system works. However to me, its starting to sound like a "if you can't win the argument, start using profanity" type of situation. I seriously doubt Google has 100% originality. But I am definitely sure Apple doesn't and yet, they haven't gotten sued for many things they "stole" probably cause they mostly stole from lesser companies with no way to fight against such a giant.

The reason I think Google isn't suing Apple back too is because it wants to prove it is the better company. At the end of the day, regardless of whether Apple has their way and becomes the world's only manufacturer of everything or not, history will show Google as an honest and righteous victim.
[General Topics] xaccers:
They can charge what they like for back pay as both Apple and Microsoft were caught in breach of the patents.

Of course neither of them want to pay now they've been caught so they're trying to reduce their bill by pushing that FRAND terms should be back dated.

This is a ridiculous view as it totally fails to penalise Apple or Microsoft for their illegal activities.

Let me ask you this, if someone steals your car and then gives it back to you a year later, would you expect that to be the end of the matter or would you expect them to get punished for stealing your car?
[General Topics] Phican:
Really hope apple falls. I dont see how apple can get away with stealing ideas, and then stopping anyone else from using similar innovation in a different approach. APPLE...THIS IS CALLED COMPETITION, INVENT SOMETHING NEW.
[General Topics] mistermentality:
The frand allegations are based soley on two companies who refused to pay their original fees so when they were forced legally to do so but still did not motorola did ask for a higher rate as recompense.

If motorola made a habit of doing this or were being unfair to others who do pay what is required then those other companies would also complain, but they have not, which shows the only reason microsoft and apple have done so is because they got caught "stealing" and need to find a way to avoid paying what they owe.

[General Topics] Asperity:
Well, the less intelligent individuals or those who are biased against B will infer what they want, but obviously in the context of your comment, it's apparent you do not agree with B's position, but hold no opinion on A or that your opinion of A has already been spoken. Much in the same way that you can't make software idiot-proof, I cannot make my comments idiot-proof either, sadly.

I don't really feel the need to restate what's already been stated in this thread regarding the abuse of non-essential design patents by Apple. It's been covered plenty.

Your example is pretty poor. Criminal vs. Civil crime, my car hasn't been committed to FRAND licensing, physical vs. intellectual property...

No, they cannot charge what they like. You need to understand that the SSOs (in this case, the Wireless Consortium) are inherently anti-competitive practices. It awards a company's invention the title of industry standard and, in essence, monopolizes the use of that technology until some new standard is created. FRAND terms are what allows industries to participate in these activities without the scrutiny of anti-trust/competition laws in their respective jurisdictions. As soon as you allow FRAND licensing to be punitive, you've undermined the entire non-discriminatory provision of FRAND licensing, and you risk invalidating the entire practice of SSOs at the hands of government judiciaries.

Contrary to the vast majority of the responses in this thread, the answer isn't to screw Apple, or let Motorola charge whatever they want for their industry standards patents. The answer is that we desperately need patent reform. We have obtuse, convoluted, and vague patents being awarded, and judges who are so out of touch with technology imposing costly injunctions on companies. At the end of the day, it's every consumer who pays the price. Whether you buy Apple or Android, we are paying the price.
[General Topics] Juoin1001:
Definitely true. We need patent reform, it seems as though companies can patent everything and anything they want nowadays.

However, these sort of changes do not happen over night, or even months away. This will need to happen years from now.

So we are still left with the current situation of Apple suing everyone else and everyone else suing back. Since you seem quite informed on this topic, what would you suggest be the most appropriate method to resolve this? :o
[General Topics] xdaid:
OFF TOPIC:

This is theory but the real life is a bit different, you are not taking into account the context, if you jump into this kind of discussion, where people talk about A vs B, it's expected you take a position, tipically you agree with A or with B. Your "B is wrong and A....." is a bit atypical in this context. It's not so surprisingly if people may infer you go for A.
