[T-Mobile LG G2x] Authenic:
I wonder is it fine to change a motherboard of the phone? My Lg G2x stuck on the hard bricked which i have tried many different way from every forum that i can find especially from Xda Development. Now, I consider on changing motherboard. Can anyone tell me if i buy a motherboard and replace it will the phone still function correctly? Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] headshot21:
I think that's a bit extreme and I'm not sure a good idea, but then again I'm not an expert. There is a topic in the G2x area named something like Guide to restoring phone from unknown baseband or something like that. U try that one? Worked for me. Just follow from step one.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abc20000:
Hello everyone,

I am considering purchasing this tablet and had a quick question that i couldn't find the answer to. If you flash this tablet with a custom rom will it loose its s-pen functionality. (Pressure sensitivity for example)

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arjag:
Android 4 and greater has native support for the pen including the pressure.

Pen works properly in the preview CM10

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abc20000:
Thanks for the response, sounds great!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
Also, future versions of Android will natively support multiwindow multitasking so all apps will have that capability not just a limited few like today.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsiPhiDan:
However you would lose all of the apps that are optimized for it (due to the TouchWiz removal), correct? Is that even a big deal? I seem to be reading that they're bad anyway.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
As the topic states, how do I remove the shutter sound when taking pictures? Putting the phone in silent mode does not help. I am on the latest ics retail.EU rooted. And also for video recording please

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mewan:
im having the same problem and its annoyinggg...i tried using the rom toolbox build.prob editor to edit the line [ro.camera.sound.forced] from 1 to 0 hoping that it would work but nope..no luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kevintstephens:
Open up the camera app. Press the menu button (at the bottom of the phone). Press the gear on the menu that opens up. This is the camera settings menu. Scroll all the way down to the bottom. There is a setting there called "shutter tone". Just unchecked the box next to it and that disables the camera sound.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nnaatthhaannx2:
Try the following things:

-Download a different camera app (I don't use the stock one, mine is much faster, but I forgot the name)

-Check if all the sound levels are all the way down. Settings --> (device) sound --> volumes (Music, video games, and other media)

-Double check that you have the shutter tone unchecked under the settings in the camera app (the very last one)

Works on my Verizon Razr Maxx on ICS just fine, no sound.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dave5777:
So easy if you are rooted. Use root explorer or es go to /system/media/audio/ui and delete or rename camera_click.ogg
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
there is no such setting
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
thanks, that worked :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
but that ****ed up the sound of the phone.... any other solution?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jazzone:
Guide for XT910 ICS uses

You have 2 be rooted.

1. Go to system/build.prop

2. Edit build.prop (I'm using Root Explorer)

3. Go to ro.camera.sound.forced=1

4. Replace 1 and put 0 ( ro.camera.sound.forced=0)

5. Save it

6. Reboot

7. Now go to camera settings, and switch of the sound
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dave5777:
Xda needs to split the RAZR sections XT910/XT912

XT912 has no "ro.camera.sound.forced" in the build.prop

So on XT912 you can rename the camera_click.ogg to camera_click.ogg.bak and have no audio issues.

With the XT910 they force it in the build.prop.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jazzone:
I do apologise for any inconvenience. I didn't realise there is so many difference between them.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dave5777:
No worries, XDA really needs to make 2 separate sections for the RAZR. Someone can easily brick there phone by following instructions for another version.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nnaatthhaannx2:
Do you see a little notch in the bottom left?

If so slide it out! (to the right!)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
i already did but there is no such option to remove shutter sound from the stock camera menu
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jazzone:
There is no way to do it on stock ICS.

You can enable this function by editing build.prop file if you are xt910 user or fallow dave5777 if you owning 912 version
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nnaatthhaannx2:
Slide it out, and you get a bar of controls. Go all the way to the left, and press the gear.

Scroll down to the bottom of the list, and uncheck the last one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
I can confirm that this method works for XT910 ics :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] The_macik:
Thank youuuu!!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sircody:
Setting is hidden...Look for the Thread here Titled Found Hidden.....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jazzone:
There is another, simplest way to edit build.prop

You can use free app called: build.prop Editor. I didn't test it yet, but my mate recommend me this app as the easiest one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sircody:
This involves just go to app on phone and change setting....Smart Stay is the App that watches our eyes to turn screen off if not using the phone.

Hardest part is if you can't get into app, Load the Smart Stay Lite App. it just adds on to the app you already have...

Look at the Price of the App that is On our phones.....&169.00....LOL....Crazy
[Motorola Droid RAZR] leandrpf:
Worked in my razr i. Thank you. And, if want mute video record can do the same with VideoRecord.ogg file.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] VILKKU42:
Thanks

for me it was shutter.ogg
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RootAndRun:
In camera options there is no shutter sound checkbox.

Thank you: your advice worked for my version 81.5.39001.XT890.Retail.en.GB 4..0.4
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
What's the difference between these builds of ROMS?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EXPERIMENT:
Don't know about the current build of miui, but aokp and cm10 are essentially the same. They each have a few different features. You should just try all of them to see which runs best on your phone, and which features you prefer.

X
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
Miui is probably the most unique out of all of them...but in a simple way...there is no app drawer, everything goes on the home pages, and also its a mostly white theme with orangeish highlights for the text and borders

All are nice...its all personal preference...try them all and see for your self what's different and what you like best
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdav07:
Sorry to ask an ongoing question but i just picked up a nc with racks triple boot on it. It seems to only boot in cm9 can anyone help me update it since its the 3/25/12 update sorry but i cant seem to find anything. Thanks for any help at all
[Motorola Droid X2] alias747:
Yep, crazy.

I called them up and they told me that the X2 was no longer made so I could have a "similar device", the system told him the 2 closest options were the Droid 3 and the Incredible 2. I was assuming from the beginning that I was going to end up with an Inc2, so I simply asked, "What about a Nexus?" He said, "OK, Let me check on that". I was shocked to even hear him say he'd check on it but I was still totally expecting to be shut down. He comes back on the line and says, "Yeah, we can do that, let me check our stock". Takes another minute and he comes back and says "Yeah, we got that in stock and we will send it out to you, overnight with Saturday delivery". And said it would come along with a SIM card, wall charger, car charger and headphones. I couldn't believe it! :victory:

I was still a little doubtful, I was thinking that this was all too good to be true and I would end up with some other phone at my door today. NOPE. It was a brand new Nexus with everything he said. Awesome!

Not sure if anyone else will possibly get the same treatment I did, but I guess it never hurts to ask. haha :good:
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Nice!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] RyanThaDude:
That's awesome! I'm loving mine and I'm sure you'll love yours, too!
[Motorola Droid X2] alias747:
Yeah coming from the X2, which is about the worst Android phone I have come in contact with, the GNex is a world of difference! Glad that you got out of this junky pile of crap phone too :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Mickyyy:
Alright alright, go easy the x2 isn't that bad. Try owning a Samsung intercept.

Then you would appreciate anything else lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Congrats dude! You must have a horse shoe up your @$$ cause that doesn't happen every day. Welcome to the club!!!!

ECLIPSE!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] Drunkula:
I almost hope my 2nd Bionic will die as bad as the first one did. Would like to land a gnex, too! Envious...
[Motorola Droid X2] alias747:
Haha yeah, have you heard of this working for anyone else?
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Nope, not until reading your thread.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
I, for one, AM NOT jealous of ANY of you nexus or S3 totting people. I know my patience will pay off big time. You see, in just under a year a new slew of phones will arrive with a more mature Snapdragon architecture or a Tegra with LTE... And then, there will be a nexus with Key Lime Pie out! And then, I can be happy with that for 2 years.. You are going for a phone that already past its prime! While I can continue to enjoy Jellybean on my Dinc2, same as you, I realize that down the line the next phone will be better suited and more future proof than the Gnex.

Bottom line, I guess we should pick when to enter the game and at what cycle of the year to upgrade for the best future-proofness and fun to be reaped from our Android purchases!

Anyway, since this Nexus is a free replacement, I agree that u just don't caya!
[Motorola Droid X2] alias747:
Really? I sense a bit of jealousy in your post... haha

But yeah, as far as I am concerned, the Nexus is still the 2nd best phone offered by Verizon right now. I wouldn't touch any of the stupid Razr variants and the clear best phone is the S3. Besides, like you said, great phones will be out next year, the Nexus just needs to get me through about a year and I am due up for renewal. This device will get developed on for a LONG time. Whoop!
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Suit yourself. I am really NOT jealous. It may seem so, but that is because I am kinda sick of people saying over and over and over that they got a gnex and they are lucky. I am happy for them, but at the same time I am not jealous. I may have been jealous back in June or so. But now, getting a Gnex is not a big deal as I know the next Nexus is gonna come soon. Plus part of the point I am making is to let people understand what they are getting themselves into. Yes, Gnex is cool, but at this point even a VZW Gnex is having OTA troubles... Troubling for a nexus. Plus with the next nexus coming soon, the timing to get a gnex is not great. Think of it this way. The number of "new" major OTAs that the gnex will get will be lesser than that for the next guy as it is already down its support cycle. It is at its middle or actually probably past its peak. Plus the Gnex has some known issues and I am all together not so enthused to get a Gnex when I know a few more months of wait and I can get a much better phone. And a phone that is fresh in its software support even from Google...

So it makes sense to wait to get a new phone IF you are doing so buy using up an upgrade. However, I agree in ur case as u got it on insurance, this won't matter to u...
[Motorola Droid X2] Zues532:
Bull**** you aren't jealous. You made a thread (here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1586153) in April specifically about how you were so excited to get a new phone and get away from the X2. In fact you told people in the thread to directly lie to the Ascurion (multiple times) in order to get a different device.

You bashed the Samsung Fascinate, then the D3 for the locked bootloader and no confirmed (at the time) ICS, and then lauded the D Inc2 because of the unlocked bootloader and ICS.

You would have **** yourself if they gave you a Galaxy Nexus.

You're probably just pissed that your constant complaining and lying didn't get you any further than the OP who just happened to stumble into this kick ass replacement.

Edit: Almost forgot. I think it's hilarious that you're trying to bash the GNex for the lack of OTA support from VZW. I can't remember the last time I actually waited for an OTA. LOL
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Ah, how I pity you mere mortal. Read carefully. I asked no one to lie to anyone. I asked no one to call "Asurion". I don't even know who they are. I asked people to call to VZW as WE are within our god damn rights to request a different phone if the one we have doesn't work as we are within the 1 year warranty. I scammed NO ONE. I just allowed people to get a problem solved, in the fairest and most just manner in the light of how VZW and Motorola are ripping their customers off with subpar products.

And neither there do I specifically talk fondly about the Gnex. I never told people I got a gnex nor did I tell they will get a Gnex with this process....

So, before you start spewing foul language at me, without being provoked, slap yourself real hard on the face so that you knock yourself out and avoid typing a ridiculous post. Anyway, I suppose it was my mistake to make a friendly comment on a random thread. I apologize to thy greatness, you won't be seeing me here anymore!

Plus I am NOT bashing the Gnex. I see a LOT of people on the Dx2 forums that constantly praise their Gnex and I just said, it is great but "meh" I can wait for the next one that will be coming round the corner. I only said that in light of this info, there is no particular reason to go the present gnex IF you can wait for the next one, that will mostly be better than this is every way...

Long story short... Take some things on XDA at face value. Stop investing sooo much g-damn emotion into a inanimate object...

Ah screw it, you pissed me off sufficiently to say the next line (I hope you enjoy it)

Gnex is utter crap compared to iPhone 5 and iPhone will always rule. And Apple will ultimately destroy Android to make possession of Android illegal...

I hope that makes u super mad. :D :p
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Okay let's be honest here the nexus isn't nor hasn't nor will it be the last phone that Verizon HDS back updates from.

As far as the next nexus goes. Who knows when it will be here. Nothing concrete yet. Even if it does come out soon, most if not all of us previous X2 owners got it free of charge. I mean it's simply really. I'll write you a mini guide right meow.

-Unlock X2

-dial 611

-wait to hear the words "main menu"

-press 00

-tell Verizon rep that your phone is suffering from random reboots, lag and poor signal.

-explain that when texting someone the screen will freeze up completely but if you keep typing the message after 20 seconds or so it will catch up And the entire message will be written up in a half a second

-explain to them that it suffers from reboots during calls (my x2 did this all the time) and ask them politely if they could call you back if your call gets disconnected. Feel free to disconnect the call if you want the added effect - wait for the callback and tell then sorry it rebooted. This happens all the time

-tell them that the phone lags while trying to play games, multitask or navigate the menus/app drawer

Now tell them that you have been online independently researching these issues and it would seem that x2 users worldwide have the same issues and they are not specific to your device. Make sure you help them to understand that these are issues due to poor coding from Motorola and no amount of x2s they send you will ever solve the problems you are facing.

Make sure to explain to them what you use your phone for. For example if you use it for work and you can't have a phone that constantly reboots during calls because then it becomes an issue w/ your employer.....blah blah blah.

Just make sure you go into the call being as nice and polite as possible. If they detect even a slight hint of anger frustration or sarcasm in your voice they will not help you.

If you followed all of those steps correctly - you have just been offered a new phone model! Congrats

[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
You've been through a LOT!!!! Impressive.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
I hope there is no drama man! I will just retreat from hot button issues like Nexus and all... ;)

Anyway, since when did DX2 forum become a Gnex forum or a S3 for that matter!? I wonder if we ex-DX2 owners are pissing current DX2 owners... hmm...
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Nah, its all good. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I could care less unless its a whyphone lol. Either way, it made for some good lite reading.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Lol,gnex past its prime...Lol lol lol

Sorry, i found that hilarious :D

Congrats to OP!

And of course there is always gonna be another awesome device soon. Well, an awesome nexus that is ;) and ice already started saving for it. Soon as it drops I'm buying that bad boy!

So off course if you can wait, and can afford it, then wait for the next nexus. Or just get yourself a nexus 7 to hold you over. Either way, everyone should experience a nexus device of some kind :)

Just saying. Love the x2 for introducing me to Android and this awesome community, and in the process showed me what the nexus line is. Love Android. Any Android. Android FTMFW all day over any iDevice.

Sorry lol, I'm just trolling my old stomping grounds lol.
[Motorola Droid X2] metaphysicalgx2:
Since this is my first X2, verizon's warranty department told me that they (and asurion) could only replace my device with the same device.
[Motorola Droid X2] chewybang:
Just to give you guys a heads up, I called Asurion after I was fed up with my phone. Just like OP, they offered me the DINC2 but I asked if they could give me a Galaxy Nexus instead. They put me on hold while they asked and, sure enough, they said they would send me one right away. The customer service rep was surprised they would do that.

Sounds like all you have to do is ask and they'll comply.

I posted this in another thread where the same thing happened. Just want to let others know if they want to upgrade a bit.

Sure, GNEX is not the best phone but it's a LOT better than the DX2. At least it will get me through until next year when better phones are out.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Let the games begin!

I'll see all you x2ers soon!

Lol lol
[Motorola Droid X2] twitish:
The ocean swallowed my DX2 today and they are sending my a Razr. Guess we can't all be lucky. Oh well. RAZR isn't all that bad.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Gonna try tonight wish me luck!!
[Motorola Droid X2] s.morgan0310:
This wont work with me being on Prepaid will it? Since you can't have insurance on prepaid.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
So lost my phone and they are sending me a RAZR.

Since its a 4g does my plan change?
[Motorola Droid X2] twitish:
Got mine today and no it doesn't. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
How do you like the RAZR compared to the x2 thus far?
[Motorola Droid X2] twitish:
Its confusing finding any ROMs at first due to the GSM/CDMA, but I'm currently installing CM10. Definitely recommend updating to the .215 build as well. PM me when you get yours and I'll send links. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
You asking how he is liking the 4gLTE, amoled screen, better battery, better cpu, better gpu, no skipping music?

:D :D

Don't forget guys, Eclipse ICS on that bad boy!
[Motorola Droid X2] twitish:
Definitely saw Eclipse, but I want to try CM10 first. Eclipse is my backup just in case. :P
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Yep, yep, and yes. I can't wait to see how this phone run.
[Motorola Droid X2] alias747:
Cool! Glad that my post helped another X2 owner out. So glad I am done with that phone... But on the inverse side, while the Nexus is an awesome phone, the battery has left much to be desired and be prepared to lose some signal quality. I can make calls the same as my X2, that's no issue. But the data is much slower. At my house, where I used to get well over 1Mb down speed on my X2 I can only get like 300-500kb down... The antenna sucks on this thing. I still love it though. Have fun!
[Motorola Droid X2] Juice3250:
Is this thread dead? Has anyone tried this recently? Getting a replacement phone through assurion?
[Motorola Droid X2] UstesGreenridge:
get my Nexus in the morning. I asked the rep if I could get the nexus, she went to ask someone, came back and bam, Nexus next day..

..so long DX2!!! xda devs made this phone, screw Motorola!
[Motorola Droid X2] Juice3250:
I will be upgrading on 8-11 to the S3 for free. I still have unlimited 3g so I will be losing it uprading to a 4g phone. I told VZW that I was bummed that I'd be losing it and they said if I used the upgrade on my third unused line, which I'm cancelling, I would keep it. I've heard that if I call them back after I activate the new phone and tell them I want the unlimited back, they'll give it back to me. I highly doubt that, but I will certainly give it a try. I really wish that they had 3g plans available that you could select for a 4g phone. Because, honestly what's the point of having superfast speeds but being limited with it. When I was discussing this with the service rep, she basically told me to connect to wifi as much as possible to avoid going over 2gb a month. What's the real advantage then of having limited 4g over unlimited 3g? Faster hardware is about it.

Anyways, I digress and am bound for limited data on a S3 come August 11. My X2 has been a good first smartphone, albeit with definite limitations. I am currently running on CM7 till my upgrade and am very satisfied with its speed over stock or any other custom rom.
[Motorola Droid X2] Uzephi:
I had an x2... Now on a Rezound with unlimited 4G. Verizon doesn't differentiate between 3G and 4G data, it is just "data plan" when I "upgraded" I got a "pre-owned" phone which renewed my grandfathered plan instead of updating to the "tiered" limited data plan. I don't know if Verizon still has this loophole though. Worth checking out ;)
