Yes. I have tried wifi, 3g. Still no connecting.

I have read thet people have problems with galaxy 9300 and skyoe. But cyanogen solved problems for them. For me not :(

I have even tried chanogen jelly bean. Still not connecting.

Internet is ok. Strong and good signal. Strange.

Maybe someone has anh ideas?
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
Mmmm The Optimus Black is a phone classified in the upper mid-range phones, sporting 1Ghz and a very nice and sleek design and a brilliant screen!

BUT.... I own an Optimus Black since this February, replacing my broken Motorola Defy which i adored...

In the beginning it was just amazing! First thing I did was updating my OB, enjoying the 4" NOVA screen, and sleek design!

Everything was alright but, you know, a phone is boring without rooting and flashing!

There's the problem....

LACK OF SOFTWARE SUPPORT

... I mean.... Even my old Motorola Defy had a super stable CM7, MIUI, Mokee, ICS and other super cool roms when I bought my OB...

In the beginning I though the Optimus Black was more popular than Defy! But where are the devs...

I realised how popular the Defy is, so many users... which means so many devs!! ((

It is undeniable to see that the Defy forum have 1000s of devs, all helping each other, pulling out roms from their imagination...

Without sounding selfish, It is sad to see our community being small, compared to the other popular phones.

Today I checked the defy in development section, and they already ported stable CM9, MIUI v4, Mokee, and even CM10, AOKP and CM10!!! WTF...

However, I think the real culprit must be LG who delivers horrible software support...

An ICS coming probably next year..... OR NEVER

An incomprehensible laggy software on a 1Ghz device....

No significant response to customers' demand...

Make empty promises...

They prefer to make new customers, and leave existing ones behind, however, do they have an idea how important existing customers are?

We are the one who create and alter the reputation of LG. New customers are not unlimited... There is a boundary...

In other words, not caring about us, existing customers, will downgrade their reputation, and new customers won't exist for them...

I think the Optimus lack will be the last Lg phone I'll ever buy....

Lg is supposed to keep us satisfy with their OWN product as long as possible, by providing software updates...

It should look at Apple, who, though being a quite greedy company, at least provides software updates to older iPhone/iPod models!

By doing this, it shows how supportive it is for their existing customers, and new customers will say: "Wow, I'm sure to use my iPhone for at least 2-3 years!"

LG seems to be the greediest company....

Damn how I miss my Motorola Defy

One thing for sure, I probably won't miss my Optimus Black

Next will probably be a Nokia, Motorola, HTC, well anything else except LG -__-

Well that's what I wanted to say... I really wanted to share my feelings about LG and stuffs... Sorry if it is an inappropriate place to do it xD

There are points where I may sound unfair or selfish, but hey it is my opinion... We may discuss about it, but don't flame me...
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Just a short question: Why did you buy OB then? You could have looked into the forum even before buying the phone... And why didnt you rebuy a Defy, if it was soo good? We all know, how bad LG software support is :p But I think the main problem is, that only few ppl got the device and can contribute to it... Why dont you learn more about android yourself and try to contribute as well? Wouldnt that be a point to begin with? Plus we simply got a "bad chipset" or at least it is hardly supported by TI :/
[LG Optimus Black] ontour:
I think its not a bad chipset but bad supported one by TI..

They want to sell the OMAP 4/5 chipset, that's understandable in TI's point of view.
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
i bought the OB because it looked soo good and was the cheapest I could find for such quality... Eh.. rebuying the same phone.. My dad would probably say "U mad!?" lol If I was allowed, I would rebuy the defy definitely...

I am not disliking the Optimus Black at all, but only the creator behind it...

Learning more about Android... mmm maybe it's possible for me since I'm in holidays :) Maybe coding, etc....

But it will take so much time before even helping expert devs xD

True that TI sucks! So many things don't work well or is unsupported by TI :(

If only OB had a Snapdragon... lol we would get Sense lol...
[LG Optimus Black] SoulExertz:
Yea. Agreed. As we stirred up trouble here, TI has added 2 more devs into 3630's development and increased its speed of fixing compatibility issues
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
Oh that's rather good news! :)
[LG Optimus Black] recl:
all phone makers suck at software updates (only 10% of the market has ics). the difference is made by devs or lack of them in this case.
[LG Optimus Black] SoulExertz:
So lets stir up more trouble!!!
[LG Optimus Black] cathaclac:
lets troll their HQ for more support on our device
[LG Optimus Black] CChowprince:
I believe our OB is promising since there are so many awesome developer in our community.

agree with me ?:laugh:
[LG Optimus Black] wessyh0:
Very well said.. I think my next phone will be a Nexus device.
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
well well gentlemen, its technology and we are humans with wants that's why some might find that ob sucks

if you just sit and see about each and every phone, also think about your beloved ob's capabilities and what you loved at first...you'll find it pretty good again ;)

sometimes i think about just updating blah blah then i say to myself...its a phone dude!

not a console, not a tv, not this and that...it serves its purpose (youtube, facebook, HSDPA, skype......................) :p

if we see well, by flashing everytime (though its fun) we just dont use the device for its intended purpose

i still want updates and new stuffs though :p

---------- Post added at 06:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:20 PM ----------

me too :)

either samsung, htc or a nexus :)
[LG Optimus Black] OptimusCrack:
well.. guess that means LG listens, even if they mostly dont respond.

This is my first lg product and im pretty happy, but I just cant for the life of me figure out why they wouldnt optimize battery performance themselves... it seems so.. lazy
[LG Optimus Black] chatian18:
Just wait for d final release of ICS til dec.
[LG Optimus Black] conquesoextra:
I think that the OB its a very good phone, its cheap, light, fast and very customizable...

However, the battery sucks!!
[LG Optimus Black] il1cit:
You say in the title that OB sucks, and yet the only thing you complain about is the lack of support by LG, and consequently lack of stable shiny roms :eek:

That does not make a phone suck.

It still works above average with GB and some custom roms, that give it a really good performance and battery life. As you also say, it's a mid-range phone, and for that category and quality/price ratio, I believe it's one of the best phones out there.

Don't get me wrong, I'd also wish we had more support from LG no doubt. I just don't think it's fair coming here stating that a phone sucks, just because it doesn't have the roms you like.
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
A phone with a lack of software support or inferior OS makes the phone quite not worth buying! What will be a phone without a good OS/rom?

Take example; nokia phones with Symbian S60.

Because of the inferior OS, many people say these phones sucks, and they are not wrong...

The software also represents a major part of a phone's quality.

Another example: HTC HD2 has a tremendous amount of roms, even extending it's OS support.

yet having an inferior hardware specs than OB, I find the HD2 a great phone, not only because of it's huge software support, but also for it's stable rom, making the phone just even better..

It is not about the roms i like personally, but it is about satisfying ALL OB owners...

The battery life of the OB can still be improved by much, IF LG showed software support by optimising the OS for the OB.

Agree that it's one the best mid-range phone for it's quality and price, but just far away from the elite ones (Galaxy S/Xperia Arc,Nexus S,etc)

Moreover having TI processor makes the OB even less appealing for devs and LG...

Of course my arguments may not be the ones you'll agree with... since it's my opinion...

So according to me, the software determines whether a phone is good or not.. You may not be of the same state of mind as me :)

I appreciate that you show strong arguments for saying why the OB doesn't suck, this will keep a balance and prevent bias or any conflicts, as my objective was not to create bias, but to show my opinion about it, AND to allow other users to express themselves about it :)
[LG Optimus Black] il1cit:
Are you seriously comparing Symbian with Gingerbread? That's not a real argument, sorry. If Gingerbread was as bad as Symbian I would be the first to toss my phone out the window.

Gingerbread is not an

inferior

OS (like Symbian), it's just outdated.

Of course software is very important, who said it wasn't? That's why we all love Android ;) My point was that just because OB doesn't have the last shiny version of ICS, doesn't make it garbage.

It still has a very good mobile OS and very good specs, regarding its price. So it can't suck, sorry :)
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
Hmm.. Honestly i find Symbian Belle FP1 as efficient as Gingerbread... I would fall for a Nokia Pureview 808 anytime xD

True though... it's not garbage... Maybe I should replace the word "sucks" by another weaker word lol
[LG Optimus Black] il1cit:
Now I accept the title, and it is in fact not that great that we perhaps won't have ICS.

As for Pureview... THAT CAMERA!

EDIT: This is just amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21XUNO-_-0c
[LG Optimus Black] Cedlad:

[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
I know the camera is just..... Gosh!

This will be inevitably my next phone! Even after 3 years!! xD

Even Symbian Belle runs so smoothly on it :)
[LG Optimus Black] TheGripper:
You would probably fall for 808 just because of its camera...just sayin'
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
I really like it's design, amazing battery life and Symbian Belle, just sayin' as well xD

Lol no I really like the phone as a whole, not just because of the camera, well.... the camera is a major point to like the phone xD
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:

[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:

[LG Optimus Black] maliyose:
Just read on modaco news that our ob will get ICS from LG
[LG Optimus Black] Cedlad:
Dude, LGE Sucks.. if Roms Creators on Xda (ob) team up, they will finish ICS in 2days. And they will work on JB.. :)
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
Not all of them but they are teamed up
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
For me it's very disappointing to see how inferior is the OB compared to the new phones released like: S galaxy s3, HTC one x, they are 1000x times better than the OB.. I paid $900 for the OB 9 months ago when I bought it. :(
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
Mobile Technology is advancing sooo fast nowadays... Very frustrating..

I also bought my OB 9 months ago but definitely not for $900 lol I bought mine for $295! xD

You should have bought another phone for such price 9 months ago...

There were still very good phones at that time!
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
I paid less than $100 back in december and now my contract is over, thinking of changing phone soon
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Wow how did you pay all that for it ? °° I bought it for 150€ (my dear Samsung Wave 1 had just been stolen).
[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
I guess they are not on a plan but prepaid
[LG Optimus Black] Cedlad:
The price is nothing compaired to this device i bought mine at 1,700 SR. At christmass. And now it's 75% cheaper.. no LG For me.. not about the price.. but over all man..
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
well different countries have different rates...mine it was $400(it actually was for my bro, i had O3D) and at that time gs2 was $800
[LG Optimus Black] il1cit:
And how much does S3 or One costs there? :o Here, they are totally incomparable phones! You can get your hands on a new OB for around 150€, when One X is around 530€ and S3 is around 600€.

OB is a mid range phone, those are out of its league... and price range.
[LG Optimus Black] DioXCodec:
Well, different countries vary.... at here China rocks. I get any phones @ $0 with my Plan.
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
Account disabled lol
[LG Optimus Black] theaks30:
well that was to be expected
[LG Optimus Black] Tokool:
I agree with everything you have said, I do really like the OB (decent quality phone and good value for money) but the support is terrible and I am sick and tired of promised updates that were never delivered. I have updated my rom to Zeus, and I am very happy to have got rid of all the bulkware from LG and t-mobile. This gingerbread ROM has no lags or unnecessary software, although I appreciate it's not the latest like ice-cream let alone Jelly bean. The processor works efficiently with this ROM works efficiently, which is sufficient for me.

I also agree that it would be nice to have a larger developer community but I guess that goes with the popularity of LG phones. I have always owned LGs but this is probably going to be my last one too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdoblo:
I have been debating whether to flash Cyanogenmod and am looking for user experiences.

Is it smoother? faster? use less RAM? Battery life?

Would be good to have some benchmark figures comparing stock and Cyanogenmod 7, 9 and 10.

Also which version is better/ what are the differences between 7, 9 and 10?

If I was to flash it, how do i save my current ROM in case I want to go back?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
Try it out bro for better results :P
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tampin:
CM9 or CM10 is much smoother than stock rom for my S2 phone. Unfortunately the Jabra mono bluetooth 3 headset is not working well with CM9/10. However no problem with old Nokia bluetooth 2 headset. For now I am sticking with ICS stock rom as I need the bluetooth headset function.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdoblo:

[Nexus 7 General] jezebabe:
So I pushed the 3 pin part onto the mains AC adapter. Now I want to disassemble it again to pack into it's box for travelling. The thing won't budge!!

This type of adaptor normally has a lug somewhere that you need to press to disengage the country specific part but I can't see one anywhere.

So can anyone put me out of my misery and tell me how to take it apart again?

Many thanks

[Nexus 7 General] compact_bijou:
Push it the other way ?

No, seriously :)

The 3 pin bit pops off fairly easily with a click, no catch to release, nothing to push.
[Nexus 7 General] jezebabe:
Really? I have pushed as hard as I dare without breaking it in the opposite direction to the way it went on and it doesn't move. No click or anything.

Thanks for the reply anyway. I will have to leave it on outside the box :(

[Nexus 7 General] compact_bijou:
Can't see that there's anything to break, it's just a tiny hump of plastic which prevents the 3 pin plug bit sliding off.

Try tapping it sharply with something whilst the plug is resting on the edge of a table or something, iyswim?

Gently mind, don't smash it !

hello there devs, i got a problem here, i preatty major one. I just finished building my CM7 for my Mini done some tweeks to the build but now i can check or uncheck anything in settings. I cant turn on/off background data, cant turn GPS on.If i check an option and i scroll down lets asume, the option will uncheck itself. Have anyone encounter this issue before?
[Android] lithid-cm:
Is it officially supported by cm?

yes it is...the rom works, but i only got this problem, i have to reset the device to disable background data.

aaa, nice answer...anyone had the same problem?
[Android] lithid-cm:
Yea it is, if you did it right, you wouldn't be having issues. I have no idea what you did to build your rom. You have posted no details. Some people shouldn't be doing this, either, go into more details about your setup, or deal with that fact that its broken. You could remove your "tweaks" maybe that will fix it for you.

i gave you all the details...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] humphster:
Without looking I upgraded my Note N7000 from Gingerbread to ICS XXPLY which is a version with the dreaded brick bug. Not only did I install it OTA but I was having problems and actually did a hard reset yesterday. The phone is running fine but I have read that it's best to return to Gingerbread until the problem is resolved. Does that seem to be the consensus?

I'd appreciate your opinion.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p107r0:
it all depends on how you feel about ICS, the brickbug itself should not happen under normal usage, only when you try to fectory reset / wipe operations,

so without doing those the only time you should be careful is when attempting to flash new ROMs (which may require you going with additional intermediate GB / safe kernel flashing - the safety instructions are always in the ROM thread),

the only thing I'd suggest - should you decide to stick with stock ICS - is upgrading to a newer version, like recent LRG (reportedly LPY was the worst ICS ROM in terms of battery life and performance)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Not only lpy, all ics stock roms having this bug. If you are worrying abt wiping you made, just find 'emmc brick bug' from market n scan device, if it nit damaged, then it shud pass.

If you are happy with ics then you can stay on it, but avoid wiping/reset.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] humphster:
Got Brickbug

I downloaded the app and ran it. The "Verdict" was the the emmc chip (VYLOOM) is known to have the brick chip.

As I understand it, however, you are advising to go back to gingerbread or leave it alone.

I like ICS but not more than having my phone.

Thanks for your reply.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chickentuna:
i say keep ICS and just download a safe kernel if ur into flashing custom roms.

You can stick with the stock kernel if you want just refrain from doing a factory reset
