[LG Optimus 4X HD] MrBC:
Hey guys, and girls,

I am due to pick up my 4X in a couple of days and I was wondering is there anything I need to check on the phone before leaving the shop.

My One X, which will still be my main phone, had a few issues when released. We had a checklist of things to check just to make sure the handset was in top order before we left the shop. Is there anything like that I should be wary of. I don't want to get home and sudden find out that x or y is a common fault with the handset and a quick check in store before I left could have saved me a headache.

Cheers.

EDIT: I know this is a question and has grounds to have been posted in the Q&A section. I thought since it was more a general question I would post it here. But if the mods wish to move it over to Q&A that is cool :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] colts187:
I had zero problems with mine just remember the phone comes with two smart tags. Some people try to sell them with one or none and take one for themselves.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Hidden92:
I don't know about any problems with the device that could be checked in store (actually I don't know about any problems it could have)

The only thing that you could possibly check is that if you press the border and the center of the back (and also the place where your fingers will be) slightly it should not feel like there is a little gap between the back and the phone (not a big issue but I nearly went mad about this with my 2X)

I still wonder why there isn't a third one for sleeping mode.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MrBC:
Cheers, if all goes well I'm hoping to pick it up tomorrow. I have wanted one of these since they were first announced. I'm a little bit excited to say the least :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dante501:
Well I personally think LG makes great phones besides their bad software but actually with their 4X they made a pretty decent job out of the box. And they 4X is a great phone. And since LG has so much a bad reputation. Their phones are way cheaper. The LG 4X is better then the One X and in par with the S3 screen wise I would say the one x has the best then just barely a difference the lg 4x then the s3 outside in sunlight I would say 4x one x and s3.

But this one is a new LG. The Optimus G. Well this is a pretty piece of hardware. http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-g-officially-official?style_mobile=0
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Dr.Paul:
The 4x is *not *better than the one x or the s3 - please stop the fanboy nonsense. I know because I have both of them and the 4x. and the galaxy nexus, which is the best of the lot.

On the positive, the 4x is very fast. Faster than the one x and the s3 in many operations. Where it falls down is that the software is sometimes flaky, particularly the camera software, which is awful. As is the stock email client. But the rest is actually pretty good and I love the form factor.

Lets not forget that the one x was flaky when it was released too so hopefully lg will fix things very quickly.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MrBC:
I have always loved the look of LG phones. The Prada to me is one of the nicest looking phones and UI's of all time. Just a shame about the Prada name on it.

And I gave never really owned a LG before, the 5 days I had an Optimus P350 does not count as it was just a temporary phone that I gave away after.

As what phone is 'better'. There is no such thing. There is only a better phone for you. What I demand out of a phone and what the person beside me demands are two different things. My good lady for example is still rocking the P350 stock. While it is perfect for her it would drive me up the wall. She won't even let me root it lol
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MrBC:
A bad stock email client is not good for me. Perhaps the one from my One X will work in it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dante501:
Newest software update fixed the camera issues pretty much. And think about it. The 4X is like a 100 bucks cheaper then the one x and even more cheaper then the S3 and u get a great phone. And removan\ble Battery and memory unlike u do with the HTC ONE X and i had all 3 phone s the S3 the ONE X and the 4X i kept the 4X i mean i was able to sell the S3 for 650 Euro for the 64gb version i Paid 1 Euro on contract lol the ONE X i was able to sell for 400 Euro Paid One Euro. I wouldnt had get that for the LG 4X, so no brainer to sell them and keep a great phone. Didnt like the ONE X the non removable battery is bad. The battery is bad it sucks and not being able to swap it is just bad. Android isnt Apple so what the hell i got rid of it so fast. The 4X has 2100 baTTERY LIKE THE S3 has. and removable if u wanna pop in a different one. And since there is root now on the 4X u can use that LG app that allows to select the 5 core that is made to save battery if not used instead using 4 in idle it is i think a 400 mhz 5 core i get great battery life out of it. On paar with the s3 and even some. The ONE X so bad Battery life just bad.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MrBC:
I can't root it. As much as I would love to I need to keep it as is. At least while I give it a good test and review. Once that is done, then we will see :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] WillySonicteam:
In the LG 4X the camera is bad in this aspect, but can change the software with some programing. In the Optimus 3D,2X, and more, the camera is bad,and have a software created by the developers.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MrBC:
How is it with 3rd party camera apps like Camera Zoom FX, any idea?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] MrBC:
And I have it. It is very nice. Cannot wait to play with it more

[General Questions and Answers] colhavoc:
Hey

I'm looking for an Android application that I can install on my old Galaxy S phone that will allow me to remotely control it from my current phone and take and record pictures, activate a microphone, play a sound, live stream from wherever I want, but on a secure connection. Is there a way to do this? I would love to set it up so I could use it to see who is at the door, and maybe cause a little scare by playing a sound on them if they don't expect it, lol.
[General Questions and Answers] colhavoc:
Really? There is no app to turn my Galaxy S into a web camera?

You use the phone as a camera, and can view what its recording on your computer. Uses a LAN to connect so the computer and phone must be on the same WiFi.

Looking for all the apps you guys use to touch up/edit/filter your images with and save in their native resolution?

So far I've found the following will use the full 8MP on the One X when saving,

Aviary

Pixlr-o-matic

Perfectly clear

I enjoy the wealth of filters PicPlay Pro has, but sadly it won't save in native res (highest is 1224x1632). BeFunky Pro doesn't either.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessicahll:
Hi all,

My friend's T-Bolt is stuck in a boot loop on the white HTC screen. Some Googling has shown that this is not a new issue, but many of the methods to fix don't work on her phone. I've managed to fully boot it up only once in the week I've had it, while it was plugged into the charger (and once I unplugged it, it shut down). I don't believe it's a battery issue, because I'm able to pull up Hboot while it's on battery.

I tried doing a factory reset from the Hboot screen: bootloop

I tried entering recovery: bootloop

I have downloaded PG05IMG.zip from Android Police, moved it to an SD card, then booted into Hboot; it loaded it and everything, but when I boot it it bootloops again.

When I plug it into a computer, guess what it does? Bootloops.

Any other suggestions? I had an old DINC I was able to give her but that's like a step down from the TBolt, so if I can fix hers I would rather do that. I have a DINC2 of my own that I've rooted, so the process is not foreign to me, but I am definitely NOT a programmer.

Hi to all

I just wanted to share something with you guys. I keep my I9001 in silicon protective case, and in the past couple of days (it was very hot outside 40 C ) I had two or three restarts, which never happened before, and I noticed that my battery drains very fast. I took it out from a protective case, opened back side and the phone was very hot ( smelled like something burned) After that I kept my phone out of a protective case and battery life improved significantly, and no more restarts,,,,

So if you have similar problems try this

dude...your clip image in your sig is f*cking hilarious! I crack up whenever I see it.....

The sh*t people come up with.... :laugh:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ergibson83:
So can someone give some background on this update? I did a backup to my extSD card and it doesnt backup the applications. I also see a 'blobs' folder when I look at the backup folder in root explorer.

Whats the difference between .dup and .tar in the advance backup options. Any info would be appreciated.... thanks!

So after doing some digging around, I found out a bunch about this new version of CWMR/CWMTR.

First,

You may notice a 'blobs' folder when you do a backup. Don't panic, this is now part of the backup process.

Second,

You may find that your backups are completed reasonably faster after the initial backup and your backup folder for that particular backup is also significantly smaller as in under 100mb smaller when it used to be close or even over 1gig.

Touch Recovery does not make a "full backup" anymore. It only backs up what has changed since a previous backup, and keeps track of the changes in a clockworkmod/backup/blobs folder. This is pretty cool because its designed to save on space and speed up the backup process. So if you look at your 'blobs' folder, its size is going to be HUGE. Thats where all the files that once made up your HUGE zip backup are located.

Hopefully you guys find this info a little more helpful....because I had a ton of questions after seeing how this new version created backups, etc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] makavelicruz:
Thanks for the flash-able dude. For some reason I could not do it thru terminal emulator it kept saying permissions were denied whenever I put the code in
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrnook:
ooooo, you don't want to do that. The Odin flash-able image is ONLY flash-able through Odin. If you want, you can extract the recovery.img file from within it, and use THAT file to flash via Terminal.

You can ONLY flash a *.img file the Terminal way.

You can flash custom recovery three ways:

*.img flash-able via Terminal

*.tar, *.md5 flash-able via Odin

*.zip flash-able from within custom recovery

Good luck!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jellydroid13:
I think he meant that he wasn't able to use just the img so he had to use the odin tar.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybrnook:
Confused?

He commented on my post of the Odin package. Which was not meant for terminal flash.

If he is trying to flash the xxx.tar file in terminal of course it will fail, he would need to extract the recovery.img file from within and use that file to flash via terminal.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jellydroid13:
ahhh I see it now. My bad i thought he said odin zip not flashable zip. :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crackmulah:
i decided to just flash this from ROM Manager, worked fine.

Im wondering where the USB Mass Storage or whatever it was called is now though. I havent seen it at all on the SGS3.

i really need this as my phone will rarely connect to my computer using Android File Transfer, I need a good way to mount my SD Cards to my Mac.

Anyone know how I can fix Android File Transfer, or Mount my SDs to my Mac, or how to get USB Mass Storage in CWM?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] makavelicruz:
I apologize for the confusion, I actually was trying with the .img file thru terminal emulator but it wasn't working for me. I believe when you first put up the thread you didn't have a .tar file for odin, or maybe I overlooked it. That's when later I skipt a few pages down the thread and I noticed you posted a cwm flashable file, which that is what I was commenting on. :D. Nevertheless, big thanks for this :)

When using the dd method the recovery should be permanent correct? I have used the dd method twice and it works fine when I do the frist reboot recovery. However as soon as reboot and try to go back into the recovery it goes back to the stock recovery instead of CWM

I am running the T999UVALH2 build.

(sorry for the double post of this question I realized i posted in old thread.)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] celeox:
I have used this and i have no issues at all. It reboots right in the CWM recovery. I have gone form older one to newer one and from TWRP to this newest one and no issues at all.

I am on FreeGS3 Release 6 and have the latest mod for the radio T999UVLH3. Only thing I can think of is do the reboot after entering the code, not sure if that is the issue though.

If I helped give thanks.

So if I backup to my external SD card I would select backup to external SD card under backup and restore menu? I did that just wanted to make sure that's what I needed to do for reassurance. The only other question I have is what is the blobs folder it created in the clockworkmod folder on my external SD card?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jellydroid13:
Yes to the backup to ext SD and go back 2 pages for the blob question.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MacTheRipperr:
Okay so my main concern with this new blobs method will it erase it delete the files that I eliminated or will those "blobs" stick and just keep on stacking consuming more and more memory? Anyone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jellydroid13:
I think there is an option to clear backup space. You might want to see what that does.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] v12xke:
Backup Mode

In v6.0.1.2 you can also change the backup mode from the default DUP to TAR. Once in TAR mode, the backups created are "old style" without using the blob folder. The new incremental backup method definitely has its advantages, but because I change ROMS, I want everything in one folder. Yes the folder is bigger, but everything I need is in that one folder in less than 8 files. Once I switched back to the TAR method, I deleted the blob folder and haven't looked back. The old style works best for me, but your needs may be different. Thanks to Koush for giving us choices!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jellydroid13:
Good to know thanks bro.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jph1282:
How do you switch to that mode? I prefer everything in one folder too. Like my xoom does.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yuugotserved:
noob question :P

for the non touch v6.0.1.2, is that the same as the one in ROM mananger when u first flash recovery? i have that version when i selected GS3 (T-Mobile). there's also an option to flash CM Touch in ROM Manager, but i vaguely remember reading someplace to not flash it from ROM manager directly? is that true?

and the three links (jenkins, xda, dropbox) in the OP under "Download" + the file in attachment are all the same?

im stuck between this or TWRPs. which one do you guys like better?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jellydroid13:
Imo I like cwm and you have to pay to flash touch with Rom manager. And yes all the downloads are the same.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rgl12miami:
Jellydroid13, do you know who created this version of recovery?

The date that appears in the name of the backup got nothing to do with the actual date (is 1970: I can't
