[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Download GetRIL through the Play Store and run it. If the baseband doesn't match, install the GetRIL recommended one then reboot your phone. If that doesn't work, install the V21Y kdz update using the following method:

If you have the V21Y baseband installed, try this: http://s3.amazonaws.com/lgforum.com...cking and Popping Audio Issue).pdf?1337877028

That's a hyperlink to a pdf from LG which contains a hyperlink to its V21Y Gingerbread update utility which works with Windows 7. I tested it and it works.

1. When you run it, after the update window appears, open Windows Task Manager with Ctrl-Alt-Delete and locate the program named "Download Window" and right-click on it and click on "Go To Process".

2. Right-click on the "SmartFlashTool.exe" process and click on "Open File Location". That will open the folder "All-in-On" where all of the files for the V21Y Gingerbread update are located.

3. In that folder there's an application named "LGUnitedMobileDriver...". Run that program to install the drivers then, after the drivers are installed, close the "Download Window" which first appeared on your computer's desktop.

4. Run the "SmartFlashTool.exe" program located in the "All-in-On" folder you previously located and opened through using Windows Task Manager.

5. Follow the instructions in the pdf file you accessed when you first started this process ( http://s3.amazonaws.com/lgforum.com...cking and Popping Audio Issue).pdf?1337877028 ).

If that doesn't fix it, it is probably the WIND SIM card which can go bad like mine did. I went to a WIND store and where a working SIM was put in my phone and my SIM was put in another phone which proved that the SIM from my phone was faulty. They gave me a new SIM which solved that problem.

Here's the hyperlink to the LG G2X allinone V21y update which is meant to fix V21Y sound problems but it works to fix other problems with V21Y too.

Here's the instructions for use:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Baseband:
Thanks for that. Tried it after going back to V21Y baseband. Problem still exists - cannot receive sms, cannot make outgoing calls. Incoming calls are fine.

I wasn't able to use the smartflashtool inside the directory - kept asking me to reconnect after pulling the battery out.

I then tried with the all in one tool, which went through but gave me this error in between, don't know if it is significant.

MDMWebdloadCPUSBConnnected

Response is NAK

We can't notify dload status CP to AP

It is not a SIM card error either since I tried it on my old phone. Calling and texting works fine on that phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Did you install the drivers first?

Run the software as administrator?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Baseband:
Yes, I had another version of the drivers which I removed before installing this.

I think I tried running as administrator, but I might be mistaken.

What is the difference between running the Smartflashtool inside the directory and just running the program?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Running the Smartflashtool from inside the directory is always better than running it from a shortcut.

Your phone phone must be setup so that the phone's usb port is set to USB debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging selected).

You should use the usb cable that came with the phone.

Right-click the Smartflashtool icon and set it up to run as Administrator.

Read the following:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1834852
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Baseband:
I shall try running it again as administrator sometime.

The log messages I got from using the shortcut were exactly the same as the one in the post you linked to.

Could this mean that it is not a baseband problem, but is an issue with something else? The lingering doubt for me that I screwed something when I accessed the hidden menu and tried to set SMSC.

Audio is clear when someone calls me, says out of service area when I call someone and they pick up.

I've it set up pretty much like wind stock now, I'm planning to go their store and try if it might work with a different sim card.

Update: Got a new sim card and calls and messages are now going through. Still works after installing cm7 nightly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I previously suggested replacing the SiM card as a remedy because, after trying virtually everything else, that's what fixed a similar problem with my phone. If it happens again, taking the phone to WIND to test the SIM card is the first thing to do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Baseband:
Thank you, I should have done that earlier.

My friends were suggesting it as well, I didn't do it because I wanted to keep my warranty option (even with the $150 deposit). V11h kdz never works for me, and I didn't want to take a custom ROM/Baseband to them. I finally took the v21y baseband restored with a WIND nandroid.

Turns out my phone has liquid damage, and would not have qualified for warranty anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyComputerDoctor:
I am trying to figure out how to push local changes I have made to my AOSP "Jellybean" branch on Github. Basically, I forked CM and made local changes which seemed to compile and function correctly. Now I want to push those changes back to my Github Repository. The branch I have synced in called Jellybean.

Things I have already done:

- Created my SSH Keys and configured in Github

- Initialized the Repo

- Synced the Repo

- Made local changes (which can be reverted if necessary)

- Complied and tested on Galaxy Nexus device

Now that I have the commits (I will be making more), how do I commit the changes using Repo command? or do I use the Git command?

I have a huge amount of dirt/dust under my screen in the top left corner. It's starting to get hard to see it, and in the day time I can't see that part of the status bar. I keep in pocket but with the charging port on bottom. I don't know how it keeps getting there, but it does consistently. Does anyone know a way to clean in out? Or somewhere I could get it cleaned? I don't have a contract/warranty. It is an inspire. It seems they are similar and the desire HD forums have a lot more people and develop then the inspire on. Thanks!!!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vercus:
I've ran into this problem on my DHD - so, the only easy resolution is to change the screen & sensor glass module (you can buy one on ebay) - or you can find some warranty center - they could repair it for some fee (probably - they will also change the screen & sensor glass module - but rather much expensive (warranty center did changed this module for me)). Also, you can try to disassemble the screen & sensor glass module, but u'll likely destroy the sensor glass or the screen or both the screen and sensor glass - besides, u'll need some special equipment, like industrial heater and so on.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cliff1:
Thanks for the reply. I'm going to get an estimate and go from there :)

I can't for the life of me find the setting that controls text commands. Where you send a text to your phone like #alarm# and your phone goes off. I found it before but now I can't find it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
Pretty sure you need an app for that..

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Markor13:
That sounds like the app "Where's My Droid" If you lose your phone you can text it a special code that you made and it will sound an alarm or it will show you where your phones at on Google maps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
Plan b and prey, as well
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] motohip:
It was in the settings and it disappeared or something after I flashed an upgrade but the feature is this there. Try texting yourself #alarm# and your phone will go off. I didn't have an app. My phone will still respond to the commands but I no longer have a way of changing the settings.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I just tried it and all i got was a text. No alarm went off.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] motohip:
That's so weird. My phone will set off an alarm. I wish I could show you guys. Try #lock#. Make sure you use the # symbol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
There are no built-in text commands. Not on stock ICS, Touchwiz ICS, or Jellybean.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] motohip:
I'm not crazy, my phone has these features, I just have no way of changing the settings.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
I didn't say you were. But give it a Google. I did and nothing came up and there was nothing in the press release or unveiling of the S3 that showed any of these features. And they sure don't exist on my phone.. or anyone else's here..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] motohip:
Lol I know, I'm questioning my own sanity at this point. I googled and googled and nothing came up. Our phones can be controlled remotely through Samsung dive. Does anyone have an original firmware S3? I remember the menu looking exactly like the motion settings with toggle switches and about 5 commands.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
There we go. Samsung Dive. Are you in Canada? I don't believe Samsung Dive works in the US.

T-Mobile offers prepaid Unlimited Data... They offer $2/day unlimted everything if its only a couple day trip (they have $30-70 unlimited plans) ... I know Simple Mobiles used to offer 10 (for 10 days) unlimited everything but their even slower then edge..

An aquaintence of mine has the S3 and I didn't ask why but it looks like the phone was dragged behind a pickup truck on dirt road.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
LOL then it probably was, the screen is very durable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hypertek:
The screen can break pretty easily too, already got a crack on mine from a small fall out of my pocket when i had crouched.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I've always had a screen protector on every one of my phones due to the fact I always carry them in a pocket. I tend to use an Otterbox Commuter case when working in the field (I am in the military) and a slimmer case like the Spigen Modello for normal every day use. So my phones tend to be scratch free... your mileage may vary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OnceAMatrixMan:
I will not answer this - to superstitious - I might jinx myself. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekrhino:
The screen is not very search resistant. I somehow managed to get a very small scratch on mine. And I tried to take care not to man handle it before I got a case and screen protector on it.

There is a YouTube video where the Samsung is put to a drop test at waist height from a two positions and the screen broke.

So the guy blew up the phone..lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] muschelbec:
I came from a Droid Razr and while they said the screen used the new gorilla glass, I still was getting scratches on my screen. When I switched to the SIII I wasn't gonna take any chances. I got a moshi brand screen protector for mine. Kind of expensive but it adheres via static so no bubbles, very smooth tracing, and very good protection.

Bottom line - They're expensive but worth every penny. We use them on our display iPads at my store and even crazy kids haven't scratched them yet.

Link is at moshimonde .com under film protectors. (Can't link yet. Still on a new account)

Galaxy S3 has Gorilla Glass 2, so I use it without any screen protector.. but I am thinking of buying one hearing news from you guys...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonytownsend:
I took off screen protector (curved crystal) It scratched to easy I think what would scratch this is putting it in your pocket with change or keys. Or setting it flat where there is grit or fine pieces of sand. But this screen is pretty scratch resilient

Does anyone recommend a screen protector that makes it easy to slide your finger across. Most seem to be tacky and grip to your fingers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hulk0069:
Believe it or not the Verizon screen protector works pretty good and it feels natural.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arre2dee2:
Yeah I'm gonna have to recommend going with a screen protector if you're worried about the screen, with that being said every time I buy screen protectors I never end up not using them because I don't care for the way they feel and I find air pockets that always seem to build up over time very annoying.

I actually really like the Verizon screen protectors too. Don't really like how they don't curve to the screen but they feel pretty good and with a cooperate discount are only $10 for a 3 pack. $10 to pretty well keep scratches off the phone is a no brainer to me. I read countless reviews on this phone, saw how many people did scratch the screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anonimouse9:
Scratches EASY

Gorilla Glass my ass.

My phone dropped face down, slid about an inch on polished wood floor in my home.... nice long deep scratch.

I even tried to find what caused it, maybe bad luck with a pepple on the floor or something.

I'm pissed. No weight pressing down, and it still scratched.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johndyz:
I too had a screen protector but that got scratched easily so I've been playing with it naked ;) I use seidio surface holster combo and i've only placed my phone on flat surface. I occasionally have it it my pocket (when i'm too lazy to put it on my holster - don't judge me... LOL). Also, i love the feel and smoothness of bare nakedness.

I never used a screen protector on my HTC Evo 4G or 3D and never had a scratch. My Galaxy SIII had little micro scratches on it within a few weeks. :-\

I can't stand screen protectors. I keep a "right pocket only" for my cell phone. I have a couple tiny scratches though. Don't know what from? My Thunderbolt/ Droid X came away with good use and no scratches. I think this new gorilla glass is a joke. Seems like everyones screen is scratched/broken from a drop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TehPersian:
I'm currently using the Spigen SGP ultra nano series screen protectors. They don't offer much protection but they are very clear and they slide a lot better under your fingers than the stock glass surface.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xxx420:
I'm so torn on this issue. I haven't gotten my s3 yet. Coming from an iPhone. I had a Verizon screen protector on it for a while. Then I got tired of it and took it off. Screen looks brighter, clearer, and even has less fingerprints without a screen protector. Also, I haven't managed to get even a single tiny scratch on it unprotected. So I wonder if I really need one for my soon to be purchased s3. Is it my careful handling that's kept my iPhone screen pristine with no protection? Or is it that the iPhone screen is somehow more durable and scratch resistant? I just don't know.

S3 does not contain Gorilla Glass at all . Sammy has confirmed this as well . Verizon has typos on their site . To make a long story short , I dropped my phone from about 12 inches into the grass . The phone cracked and I was really upset so I called Samsung . They confirmed that the s3 does not have it . The only one that does have it is the international version .

That said , I called Verizon back and told them they were advertising specs on a phone ( that I bought and was a selling feature ) that wasn't true . The best they would do was an in house insurance claim . This is b.s.

Compared to my old iPhone 4s it is very scratch resistant.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
This does come with gorilla glass 2. The thing is, gorilla glass isn't a shock absorbing glass. How I figured this out? I got an old Droid Incredible 2 (wasn't mine, but my friend's broken one), which has gorilla glass, and I dropped at chest height flat on the glass. The thing cracked like crazy. Now I also tested it with my old LG phone and the thing also cracked as well.

Gorilla glass just uses a gel exterior that prevents scratches appearing easily. XDA actually has a video on how gorilla glass works. You should check it out.

Whoever told you that only the international GS3 has gorilla glass 2 should be fired for wrong information. The international model and the US models have the same design.

The gorilla glass 2 is actually pretty fragile (international model also broke easily too). There are some drop test videos of people dropping the GS3 (international model) and the glass cracking upon impact.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huedawg:
Your right , Verizon and Sammy both said it does not come with it .. Maybe you should share your information with them ? It doesn't contain gorilla glass 2 .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dave_k605:
I've always hated screen protectors, all previous phones I've had had no scratches...I did with each device try a screen protector here and there for a few days but always taking them off.

With the gs3 I ordered best skins ever and the screen protector has been on since day one, I honestly can say as a hater, I'm now converted.....as long as its best skins ever.

Very good install lines, little to no drag, I haven't noticed and clarity issues, looks and feels like it's not there. Oh and it somehow is very resilient to hand oils/smudges.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
Yup, holding it up to a light I can see a few little scratches.. nothing noticeable, but they're still there! The screen does scratch easily seeing I've been religious with keeping this thing clean.. still naked, getting the Otter Box in a few days :)
