[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
poor LG support on the hardware, no removable battery, no external sd card, what apps are written for quad core?

my LG G2x has 512 ram and its plenty (sure, i wish it was a gig, but i dont miss it)

and as far as hardware, i guess i should go easy on LG, after all my experience with LG is on a G2x with an nVidia Tegra2 chip and nVidia has been the stubborn one when it comes to releasing drivers and updates (well, ok, a combination of LG, nVidia, and T-Mobile). but since i never have any issues with Samsung and T-Mobile that only leaves the other two and i havent been thrilled with either of them thus far

I'm sorry to say I started this form and I'm going to buy a nexus 4 lol too bad its a LG hopefully its updated

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:
I love my current Nexus, but 720p IPS display and wireless charging are tempting....I dont care about CPU or RAM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dylanear:
The first and foremost reason I don't want to by the LG Nexus is it's made by LG and LG and T-Mobile F-ed me hard on the G2x. I will not feel good with myself if I supported them after that. Someone punches me in the face when I try to do them a favor (buy a new untested flagship phone for full retail at launch) I do not buy them a beer next time I see them.

The screen and the price are tempting. I really like what Google is trying to do with the Nexus line, I just can't in good conscience support LG after the way they screwed G2X buyers. The new relationship shows that LG probably does want to get their act together and figure out how to support Android devices. But you don't move forward by forgetting who you've screwed and doing nothing to make things right. LG needs to make a really discounted offer on the Nexus 4 for G2x victims.

The lack of SD slots on Nexus is a MAJOR downside, especially when they offer no decent internal storage options. Data is expensive up here in Canada, paying for bandwidth to stream content I own from the cloud is beyond stupid to me when flash memory is pennies a GB. Then add to that the lack of a swappable battery on this latest Nexus, add in LG's horrifying past and I think I'll pass.

LG is counting on all G2x owners on forgiving or forgetting, I will not forget. Someday, if I've seen a long history of improved support over several years I may take them off my "no buy" list.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I feel your pain.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DankoFGL:
I don't know, but... i actually WANT to pay 300$ for the nexus 4, remember that the hardware, finish, looking that LG uses on phones are AWSOME... the G2x is by far the best build phone i had ever, and i pass thru nokia, xperia, samsung and motorola...

so, the incredible build quality of LG and the direct software souport from google?... have 3 or 4 more android versions direct from google? on a incredible device that not will be obsolet in a year or two?... i think, f*ck the pass with lg actualizations... i want it for the hardware... for anything else google will mintain us happy...

and actually i preffer to pay 300 dollars for an LG phone with google actualizations that +600$ for the new galaxy premier...or 500$ for an HTC One x...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dylanear:
Don't get me wrong, while the lack of a SD slot and removable battery keep it from being an acceptable daily driver for me, but it is no doubt a really sweet looking device for the price. If I'd never bought a G2x I'd probably have ordered a N4 the day it showed up on the Play Store. I'd want to consider buying one just for hacking, testing ROMs, IF it wouldn't support a company that has basically STOLEN from me. So while I think the user experience of a Nexus 4 will be DRAMATICALLY better than the G2x has been, that's not the point. This is a moral issue, a self respect issue, I don't like doing business with companies who blatantly screw me. No matter how much they improve their products. So a used Galaxy Nexus will probably be the phone I get for hacking. Still a great device and they are showing up pretty cheap lately.

It's people easily forgiving this kind of super crappy behaviour that let's companies screw customers with impunity.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DankoFGL:
I don't think that lg owns me something, becouse the galaxy s for example never get an ics update, and its a device totally capable of moving it, even jelly bean has been ported to galaxy s without any trouble, so maybe a ics source code relase would be better if LG do, but this device comes.with froyo, and after that upgraded to gingerbread, so even samsung and motorola have lacks of updates, the atrix and defy are very poqerfull devices and they never get and ics update, correct me if im wrong...

Its true, the g2x and 2x are devices complety capable of runing ics and jelly bean without problems but its not the only device that lacks of updates and lg is not the only company that letvthe devices become obsolote fast....

You can't excuse LG because Samsung never updated a phone that is a year older.

Galaxy S release date: June 2010

G2x release date: April 2011

Plus all the source needed for solid ICS and JB ROMs for the Galaxy S were released ages ago, LG is just doing that now.

And aside from any Android updates, LG has never made this phone solid and bug free on any version of the OS!!! They OWE ME A PHONE THAT WORKS. PERIOD. The Bionic and Galaxy S3 I've been using since the G2x are SOOOOOOO reliable compared to the dropped calls, flaky data, random reboots I've gotten on all >4< G2Xes I've had.

LG started out making all sorts of promises about updates, T-Mobile convinced me to keep the phone past the return date, with reps saying things like "It's our flagship phone, it'll get updates that will fix that for sure." I've been lied to and stolen from as far as I'm concerned. I will not forget it.

Danko, I just noticed your in Venezuela, did the G2x get sold there? Or a P999 branded as an Optimus perhaps? Is there mobile service that uses the AWS bands down there? Or do you use it on more typical GSM bands? I thought that AWS was only a T-Mobile USA thing until I got to Canada and found Wind and Mobilicity use the AWS bands too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cricketAC:
I can reply on behalf of Danko. Of whatever i read via his post. He is using GSM 2g bands with a data speeds of 240 kbps or so MAX. I feel for him thou. His phone chuggs out worse battery over 2g with cm7 plus the speed itself makes me cringe. I get 256 KB/s not kbps and yet it seems too slow. =(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DankoFGL:
256kb/s is more than 15mbps so i feel.that is a litle high, i think that this phone max can get 12mbps or a little more on 4g and youre right, my last battery stars were close to the 10 hours over 2g and normal use, its better but isn't enught for me, 240kbps is a little slow to me, i can use tapatalk, whasapp and navigate without problems also see non-HD videos in youtube...

The version of my phone that was sell here in venezuela was the 2x and movistar bring it at a little high cost, so i've only see two of them... and one g2x plus mine....

hello!!

I recently bought this 80g9 8gb

at start the usb worked very well.

now whrn I want to connect my 3g stick - the light is blinking, but nothing more happens u the same is for external hdd - light comes on but I cant view the files. usb debug mode is turned on..

I don't kbow what else to add - but if any1 can help me with this - please help

P.S. - I also tried the ''reset android'' and '' full reinitialization ''

Which Firmwareversion? Which 3g stick? Did you try to connect a camera on the USB 3g port?

[Gen9, Gen10 General] trevd:
Hi There

I assume you're connecting to the Full Size USB Port at the back of the device. It sounds like you've got damaged "Data Tracks" on the internal connection, It's unfortunately not a particularly uncommon problem. I've just had a second one fail on me!

Here's a post with a similar, if not the same problem. If you're inclined to do a bit of hardware hacking you can fix it yourself, This Archos Fans Post explains the issue and shows a fix ( with pictures ). However If you've only just bought it I'd probably just return it and in all honesty, as a general consumer, upon returning it I'd probably get something different. Which is a unfortunate recommendation because they're not bad devices just kind of let down by their build quality.

Hope that helps.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Aizix:

OMG OMG !!! O.O

thank You soo much --- that [ "archos fans" ] post is exactly what happened to me

[Asus Transformer TF700] cserba:
Hi all

so i have some questions that i will order with numbers:

1. after jelly bean update my tablet was a little bit laggy so on asus official webpage they told me to make a factory reset. I did it, it was better, but when i went to gallery my factory wallpapers were missing. Can anybody just upload them for me?

2. i am not sure, that after i was using an apex launcher or the JB update but when i want to set a custom wallpaper on my homepage it doesn't appears. After this i uninstalled the launcher and tried setting wallpaper again but doesn't worked.

3. after the update my tablet is a little bit confused when i want from it just some elementary tasks. is there any cure?

Thank you for your help :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
I thought I'd order some smart tags to see what the first decent NFC apication I've come across can do.

Initially I was pretty impressed. Turn on NFC, wave the phone near a tag and Smart Connect pops up asking what you want the tag to trigger. Each event in Smart Connect has begin and end actions - begin is triggered by NFC detecting a tag and end is handled on the phone when you stop the event (there is Smart Connect item in the notification bar to make this really easy.)

So far so good, it's all really easy and slick to use.

The only problem is that the NFC detection only currently works if the phone screen is unlocked and on. This means if I want to leave a tag in the car to switch on my BT and start my navigation app, then I can't just get in and swipe the phone near it... I've got to unlock the phone first! Niggle!

For a first outing, this is still good so hopefully Sony will offer the ability to use tags without unlocking the phone at some point in the future.

Just thought I'd share in case anyone else is thinking of making a purchase.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Id Arcanum:
On sgs3 it was the same as far as I remember and some custom roms had option in settings to work while screen off. Hopefully, for you, it will be ported/done for Xperia T also :) (aokp had that option and some other cm10 derivates)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] yesyesimanoob:
If you want to take better advantage of NFC's potential, I'd recommend buying some generic tags and downloading NFC Task Launcher from the Play store. Generic tags are cheaper, has higher capacity, and NFC Task Launcher can do a lot more than Smart Connect. Combine it with Tasker and you can do some seriously cool ****.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vid200:
Where can you get generic tags, any link maybe?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nickola:
If my phone could trigger actions without being "under my actual monitoring" (On and unlocked) in reaction to NFC tags, I 'd consider that quite unsafe.

At least, there should be some kind of restriction system, like : you can trigger actions only on this particular list of "declared secure by the user" tags.

Maybe the software Yesyesimanoob (what a funny user name, sorry) speaks of can do it, i don't know.

Nickola
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
Had a bit of a scare when my mate who has an SGS3 swiped his phone near one of my tags and his NFC task launcher detected and reprogrammed my tag so I couldn't use it.

Luckily Smart Tag Maker on the Play Store can fix them but it's a bit crap if just anyone can reprogramme them.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] yesyesimanoob:
I get mine from tagsfordroid.com (US). I don't really know international sources well enough to suggest a reliable one, sorry, but the tagsfordroid.com ones are just rebranded "Mifare Classic" tags, so you might want to look for that. They have about 700+ bytes of usable capacity, so you can put more on a single tag than the Sony ones (48 bytes).

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Not sure about the Smart Tags as I don't have one, but NFC Task Launcher can make a generic tag read-only, so once you've programmed it, no one (including yourself) can reprogram it ever again.

---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

You have to be rooted to get NFC to work while the screen is off, and that's only available for certain devices right now, with a custom APK. Maybe it will come to the Xperia T eventually, who knows.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
Agreed that blanket access for all tags would be bad so some sort of control would be required (e.g. You can enable certain tags to work without unlocking the phone - such as the Blue (car) tag.)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] niuzhd:
It is really cool but I have no idea how can it be used to make me convenient because before you scan the nfc tag, you should open your screen and unlock it.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] yesyesimanoob:
Works best when you want to trigger multiple actions. For example, when I get into my car, I swipe a tag to activate in-car mode, which involves:

- Maximize media volume

- Lower notification volume

- Activate gesture media controls (via a Tasker profile, or alternatively you can try the app Wave Control for this)

- Activate SMS reader/auto-responder

Swipe the same tag again before exiting car to disable car mode.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
Are you using Smart Connect or NFC task launcher? (My smart connect doesn't switch the options off when you swipe a 2nd time.)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] yesyesimanoob:
NFC Task Launcher. It has an option to create a "switch", which will alternate between two series of tasks each time you swipe it. Of course this means you're writing more data to the tag, which the Sony Smart Tags are probably too small to contain and hence Smart Connect doesn't provide the option.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
In case anyone is interested, I worked out how to write protect my Smart tags so they can't be hijacked by anyone who wants to write to them.

First, you need to read the existing content. (I used NFC Tag Writer by NXP, as it allows you to copy the content straight to the clipboard.) I then used NFC Writer by Tagstand to write the same content again but with the write protect option set. I had to write the content twice to be able to write protect - first in the normal way (no option to protect) then again via history with the option to lock in top right of the screen.

I've now locked all mine so they will always be the correct IDs for SmartConnect.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dragon_76:
It's called "Turn NFC Off". It's built into every Android with NFC.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nickola:
Not exactly. If NFC is OFF (and it definitely is on my phone), there is no reaction to any smart tag.

What I meant is, that there should be a possibility to specify a list of "user tags", the same way you can declare a Mac Addresses list on your WiFi access point/ISP router.

Anyway I've given up on using NFC.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] updateing:
Smart Tags are much more beautiful than general ones...But may I ask how much u spent on them?I found them very cheap in local stores and thought that they were not original ones.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dragon_76:
NFC doesn't serialise chips. Any "user tag" could be cloned, passive devices being much more difficult than active. RFID, and NFC by extension, were designed to be simple. The fact that companies or individuals have chosen to use the technology in a way that may compromise security is irrelevant to the technology. Its biggest security feature is that it requires physical access within just a few centimetres, and it requires one device to be "smart" and know what to do with any information in a tag.

You can always put a little tinfoil hat on your phone to match your own...

To be honest, I never pay much attention to Smart Tag until I saw this thread, LOL
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
Sorry for the delay in replying... Not checking XDA much at the moment due to the uncharacteristically amazing weather here in the UK!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Olburgs:
Or just get some paper ones and print something nice on them. Also I tried it in the past. I am not really using it anymore.

It is too annoying at the moment. The distance to a tag and a constant unlocked screen is too irritating.

However I do use the SmartConnect software to set my profiles when it finds a Bluetooth connection / WiFi signal or charger.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nidzo80:
I find them practical especially in car.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cmajetic:
is it possible to program the official Sony tags with the nfc apps from the market or only with smart connect? because I'm getting some official tags...

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Nidzo80:
I'm using NFC Task Launcher :good:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
I used the NXP Tag Writer app to program the tags in permanent read-only mode to stop anyone from reprogramming them again. That app is from the patent holders for NFC tech and is really feature rich.

Hi There emuX,

I have a Blue Sony Smart Tag and somehow I erased the info it had.

Is there some kind of way you could read your smart tag info and post it here so I could get my smart tag back to it's old state.

Now everytime I read it it just say that it is empty :(

Thanks in advance!!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] memuller:
Hi All,

Actually I started reading various forums and info about NFC tags and got to learn that the sony smart tags are configured with URI codes for each coloured tag:

For the red tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/2/smarttags1

For the blue tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/1/smarttags1

For the white tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/4/smarttags1

For the black tag: semc://liveware/A1/1/NT1/3/smarttags1

Then to write this URIs I download the App NFC_ReTAG_FREE, and to my surprise it comes with the option for "Write smarttag for sony devices", so it was even easier!!!

Put the blue tag option, and wrote it to the smart Tag.

It's back to normal :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] emuX:
I see you've found a fix but thought I'd reply anyway... I did the same thing and used Smart Tag Maker from the Play Store to fix them. Then I made them read only via the method I posted early in this thread.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] memuller:
Yes!! I think i'll do the same as you did, so I don't accidentally erase them again. Thanks Dude!!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] EVoorhees:
Yeah, maybe the ROM or root isn't sitting right. Have you tried wiping the cache(s) or re-installing/downloading the ROM's? If those aren't the case then try and OEM lock the phone and re-root it again. If that doesn't work, then the camera might be funky. :eek:

"Can you let them know that all of the stock videos came colored too, and when i play a youtube video, the entire app turns colored like the cam"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brymaster5000:
Is there a settings that is on that is causing this? If not it could be a hardware issue.

I think one way of telling for sure is to get rid of the HTC unlock and fully root to see if it has to do with how the phone is handling the flashing of the ROM's. If it still occurs, then I would guess hardware.

I'm gonna see if running the RUU will the problem. That way I know if its a hardware issue or software
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danlk2:
I attempted to flash a Liquid Smooth rom yesterday. I rebooted into the bootloader, and chose recovery mode. I wiped all cache, then installed the zip. I followed this by installing the gapps zip immediately, which I think I shouldn't have done.

When I rebooted it, it was stuck on the liquid smooth screen for a while, I know this is normal, but when it sat there for an hour and fifteen minutes I knew something was wrong. If I hold down both volume keys and the power button I can reboot into the bootloader again, but when I now choose recovery mode, it gets stuck on the google load screen.

Can anybody help me out?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Plug the N7 into your PC before you boot into the bootloader.

You were correct to flash gapps immediately after flashing the ROM. Maybe the ROM didn't flash correctly because you only wiped caches. If you are coming from a different ROM you will need to do a factory reset. If you didn't back up your apps and don't have a nandroid, then you might want to wipe caches, format system, and reflash the previous ROM and try to boot in and backup your apps. Might not work but worth a shot if you got stuck where you are now with no app backups.
