[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wewoapsiak:
Hey guys, long time tinkerer of android but I'm new to Samsung devices and apparently my S3 was more fragile than my G2x when it comes to bricking. I was testing a theme and fat fingered some buttons in CWM and think I messed up emmc or some other mounts. Phone won't start up in recovery mode nor download mode, so I know I'm screwed.

Since I'm new to having to JTAG and the use a jig, I don't really know which to do. Supposedly the jig takes you straight to DL mode, so I could use odin to reflash the stock firmware and such, but would that work for a hard brick like mine? Since it's $8 vs $60 I'd like a little more info on it than I can find.

Looking at using this service.

Thanks,

wewo
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
Currently, or last time I checked, a jig won't work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Yup no screen equals no fix other than JTAG. A jig would work if the screen at least came on. The service your looking at is the best around, can't go wrong. Fast turnaround too. Like four days or something. Sorry bout or paperweight best of luck in the future

Thanks guys. Looks like my shiny rock is taking a trip to Texas.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Proho:
Hey, everyone. I just joined these forums because it seems to be a very large network. I am thinking about purchasing a smart phone. I have two options as of now, and those are the G2X and the G2. I don't care if it has a physical keyboard or if its touchscreen, as long as it works fine, I don't care. Specs-wise, I LOVE the G2X, it seems like a nice budget phone. After doing minimal research, I came across countless threads in various forums of G2X users complaining that they were getting overheated batteries, two crashes a day, etc.

These threads were from a while ago, so I was wondering if they found a solution to this.. I know a little about rooting and custom ROM's, and I will probably do that, and get ICS on my G2x/G2. I love the looks of the G2X and how it works, etc. The only problem is I don't want it to crash. I then started looking at the G2.

I like the G2 as well, but its a VERY old phone. It still has 4G, but I am a little concerned about the hinge. The battery life seems great and all as well..

Bottom line is that both phones are very great. I prefer the G2X since it is newer, faster, and has a lot more features. Only problem is that people KEEP saying that it crashes or that LG sucks. I was thinking about picking up a used phone off of Ebay or whatever.. Can you guys tell me what you think? I REALLY want the G2x, but if its gonna crash, I will go with the G2. Like if the solution to the problem is as simple as rooting the phone and installing CM9, I will go for it.. PLEASE TELL ME ASAP!

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vipaman:
If the crashes the bugs r worrying u then I suggest u stick with the g2 rather than the g2x......but if u want to tweak our phones and suck every single processing power out of it go for the g2x.....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Proho:
Haha, thanks for the fast reply... Well, both for me.. I want to tweak the crap outta it, and the crashes annoy me haha! Is there any known cause/fix for the crashes? I will do anything to fix them because the G2x seems like a GREAT phone!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] guitarist5122:
If you don't car about the ffc or dual core processor, go for the G2. It probably has a fully working ics rom and nearly fully work jb rom simply because it doesn't have a closed source processor like our g2x. When I was looking to buy a used phone off eBay last year, I would have gotten something different if I had known the processor was closed source. Gb roms are fine for me, gets the job done but come on. gb is 2 generations old. We will never have the same stability on ics or jb roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Proho:
Ughh, haha. I love the specs on the G2X. I agree, the G2 is a very old phone, but that doesn't usually bother me. The dual-core processor is what really gets to me. Seems like a great phone actually, and it may be too late to go for the G2, its very old. I will only be using this phone for 5 months before purchasing a newer one, so G2x or G2? And have you experienced any major crashes? I want to make it as bug-free as possible, so what ROM should I go for? I really appreciate it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rtotheichie:
The G2x has a plethora of awesome, stable ROMs based on GB. If you really want ICS, though, it comes with some bugs on our phone. I personally don't think they're a deal breaker, as I use mine as a daily driver on ICS, and I rely on my phone due to my chosen profession. However, it all depends on how much you can put up with. ICS on G2x means no video recording, very unreliable video playback, occasional data drops, and potentially no Bluetooth calling depending on what Baseband you're on.

What is does come with, however, is an amazing set of devs that made this phone bearable.

Hope that helps
[T-Mobile LG G2x] solidbau5:
Buy a used phone

Can you pay for a phone outright? Or are you just going for the free options?

Swappa.com has a bunch of phones that would work for t-mobile, and you can switch to the value plans or even monthly(no contract) plans when you bring your own phone.

I wholly endorse buying a phone out of contract, I've done it for years and it's saved me money in the long run(used phones) while still swapping phones every year.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Proho:
Thanks a lot, rtotheichie. I appreciate your reply. Seems like all of the complaints I have been seeing are from a while ago. According to you, the dev team has now released many stable ROM's to make the phone "bearable." I need video recording and playback, so I would like a ROM that is very stable.. I would rather have no video playback than crashes and reboots. I guess I will go with the G2x then. If all these ROM's really fix the problems, I'm gonna LOVE this phone! Should I go ahead and purchase it on Ebay? Please tell me beforehand. I am in a tight situation and can't be wasting money on junk that doesn't work well..

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Go for the g2x its the better of the 2 phones, ics on this phone is gimped due to lack of drivers that lg or nvidia wont release. Still tho our devs have done an outstanding job on these ics roms.

Personally ill only use gb roms since there the most stable, cant go wrong with cm 7.2 stable this phone is still beast!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Proho:
I'm new to android and don't know much about custom ROM's, etc.. I would prefer ICS and a stable ROM... I have been hearing that Hellfire Phoenix has very good releases. Still, the main problem prevails.. I don't want crashes/reboots! This is a great phone, and hopefully custom ROM's can take care of the crashing issues! Can anyone else tell me if they still have problems with their G2X?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cricketAC:
g2x for the love of the hardware

G2 for the love of the software

Which one makes you more involved in a phone?

Buy that.

Problem solved.

I've been running MeanRom ICS. I wanted to give the sprint stock version a try. What's the best way to do this?

Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Oh, read the forums, I think about a gizzilion boot loops, problems, issue's
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Well since you can't update ota if you are rooted, just find a stock rooted rom and flash it just like any other rom. As you SHOULD know from reading, you can't run the new kernel without the new hboot, so update to that if you want to use the new kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] sonza:
The 2.4 version I do believe was based on the VM leak. His newest 2.6 version is based on the latest Sprint release, and works just great. I have been running it with no issues.

If you have S-off , you can upgrade the hboot and kernel to the latest. If not, you can leave the kernel and hboot you have and just flash the rom.

Just and idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Jxeift:
I have a question about flashing and interesting modification to my Samsung Galaxy 5, if possible without having to flash the Rom itself.

Anway, does anyone have the 14 toggle power control system for the notification bar? I have searched but came up short.

Your help is appreciated!

Sent from my YP-G70.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
I'm not totally sure about this but I think you have to flash the rom to get those toggles. I remember when I deleted the APK file for the original status bar and tried to install the another different status bar, and it ended up just disappearing lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
You can try copying all of the apk's in system/framework and app/systemui.apk from a rom that has it to your device, but if that doesn't work, then no.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
If so, which kind?

Trying to find one as transparent as possible. I was actually thinking of getting this and just cutting it (cause it is cheap).

http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=11212&cs_id=1084310&p_id=8336&seq=1&format=2
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Personally, I wouldn't try cutting a screen protector in order to make it fit, especially when there are protectors specifically made for the TF700 that aren't much more.

I remember trying to cut one before and it was not easy - It ended up looking like crap - it seems that when you cut them, the edges sometimes don't stick as well.

You should be able to find TF700-specific protectors on Ebay for a few bucks.. If you are just looking for a clear protector (instead of anti-glare), they will all look just fine (you don't have to worry about transparency - they'll all be completely transparent).

Now, anti-glare is a different story - there are huge differences in quality that will affect the screen clarity. Usually, with anti-glare, you get what you pay for (but there are exceptions).
[Asus Transformer TF700] dirran:
Avoid cutting to fit

Yeah I second not cutting to fit. The edges never seem to come out any good and it usually just looks really dodgy.

Transparency shouldn't be to much of an issue even with the cheap protectors. While there aren't many accessories around I am just going with some cheap protectors off ebay. Just upgrade later if you aren't satisfied.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Anyone using one they really like and could recommend?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mykew:
I'm using Poetic Profilm. Pretty cheap and great quality. While it's actually a clear screen, I find it reduces glare significantly. It is also heaps better for fingerprints than the natural screen. I only got 1 bubble on the edge of the screen cause I missed a piece of dust when I was cleaning the screen... very easy to put on. All in all i'm very happy with the covers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
FYI - if you want to get that piece of dust out, here's a tip - use a piece of scotch tape to lift up the corner with the dist speck and then use another piece of scotch tape topick up the actual piece of dust. Then just lay the protector back down and the bubble should be gone.

I've used this method a few times and it works great...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Diogenes5:
I use the ACASE transparent 3-pack film. I had good experiences with them in the past. Their Film is 3-layer Japanese PET and it feels very nice to the touch and durable. I also got a screen protector included with a recent skinomi purchase but I am happy with my ACASE screen protector so I'll just keep that in storage.
[Asus Transformer TF700] PlayYourPosition:
between the ACASE, Poetic, and Skinomi - how do these all feel to touch? Are they rubbery like some of the smart phone protectors?

I want to go anti-glare and reduce finger prints but I don't want the yellowing effect or a rubbery to touch feel.

Appreciate the feedback all
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Usually, with Anti-glare, it actually allows your finger to slide better than it would on the naked screen. That is certainly the case with any I've used (including the current Poetic anti-glares that I'm using). They give a much better finger glide than the glass screen - no rubbery effect at all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] PlayYourPosition:
What I'm trying to compare is the touch/feel/no-prints I have on my Matte screen protector but the downside is, it degrades the screen significantly. So I'm a bit more willing to deal with some prints to keep the screen as beautiful as possible.
[Asus Transformer TF700] coleburns:
Is the Poetic a wet or dry apply?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Poetic is a dry system - no residue if you decide to remove it...

Well, after a week or two of having the Poetic anti-glare protector on my TF700, I finally decided to remove it.... I was fine with it until I saw how nice the naked screen on my new Nexus 7 looked in comparison.

I must say, the anti-glare *did* ruin the TF700 display - it's such a beautiful display - I was wrong in keeping in "hidden" behind that anit-glare protector!! :)

Actually the best phone is maybe the HTC One S, or if you don't care about beauty and quality, the GS3. I won't suggest you the One X because of its short battery life but, without this bad point, this is a great smartphone too. The most important is that you should test the smartphone and feel it in your hand before buying anything, just to make your own feeling and opinion.

Review for "Gelaskins Enamored Owl Samsung Galaxy S III "

Hellur everyone, as you can see the gelaskin is pretty much a sticker that goes onto the body of your phone, be aware that with the gelaskins you dont get a screen protector so youll have to custom cut your own.

It took me at least 45 minutes to put this on, i dont have any fingernails so it was rough to apply it to the phone correctly

But all in all it smooths out easily and looks freaking awesome. Gives your phone a unique look and feeling.

I would rate this higher than any other phone skin, gelaskins customer service is also pretty reliable and awesome. Great place to get a phone or tablet skin.
