We can play this dance all day long, the bottom line, YOU'RE WRONG!! at least about 1 thing.. Smartphones have replaced cameras, for many if not most people, minus the photonerds.

The N4 is a better phone on paper and I'm sure in general use, but again, built in batteries are weak, I don't care if it lasts all day with normal use.. Again, you aren't using it a full day taking pictures with it and during the day time many of these phones take great pictures, great enough that most people couldn't tell the difference.

As for expandable storage... please, 16gb wouldn't hold a candle to my music library alone, let alone the tons of other stuff I use.. Cloud storage is nice, but look at the terms and rules and watch how fast you will hate it..

Plan on having pictures or "other" stuff on your phone that violates the terms, they shut you down!

Many Nexus owners never made the switch, a perm. battery was a big negative for many.

The Iphone always sucked for the reasons I stated and I stand behind that. I would take the NoteII or GSIII over it anyday and so would most (As the numbers already show that)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
This guy has got to be trolling.. as you said. Numbers are proof. This iPhone you say is such **** happens to be the best selling smartphone of all time. Without it's non expandable storage, non removal battery and glass build. So.. yea. You're wrong. Also to top it off these options are preferences.

I'm a power user and I don't need any of these options. I listen to all the current albums I'm into plus some favorites that always stay in my library. I have over 85 apps installed as well as one or 2 big games like Most Wanted. I have over 600 pictures in my DCIM folder. A few ROMs and zips in my root. Your views of storage on a MOBILE device are flawed. You're he type of person to take your entire library with you. More often than not, you are the minority.

I usually get between 3.5-4.5 hours of screen on time that I can easily break up between my work time and whatnot. Usually at the end of the night before I plug back in my is still alive. So an extended battery is also a moot point.

I have no need for any of the options you're basing your self righteous opinion about what phone is best on. Now imagine the average person that doesn't even use their phone half as much as we do.

All that and I don't even use cloud storage or an extended battery! :D

You're beginning to realize how ridiculous you sound, right?

Hi there, just got a brand new LG Optimus 3D Max (p720h) and was lurking around to find out if I can remove my carrier's customs. I learned to root my device and uninstall some customizations using various tools around the market and forums like this.

I'm still struggling with some customizations like for example the boot image and categories within the app list, I think all my problems would be solved if I used a stock ROM, problem is that I can't find really any good guides for this device, I was able to find something on p920 but I'm not sure that would work:

tool here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27004883

KDZ here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=10 (very sloooow download)

So I want to know if I could use those tools and kdz files I found or if there's another specific guide for my device.

Offtopic questions:

1. I heard Icecream Sandwich upgrade is planned for my device, is that true? Any news on that?

2. Would p920 cases fit my p720? Specifically talking about those wallet-like cases.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtc276:
You can replace it if you ordered it from Google or send it in for an RMA with LG. Obviously, the easiest and quickest choice is just exchanging it for a new one. As far as I know, Google is very good about exchanges in the event of a hardware problem.

However, if you order it from a different source Google won't be able to do this. This happened to me with the Nexus 7. I ordered from GameStop and mine had some minor LCD light bleed which was mostly just annoying. Me, being a perfectionist, couldn't handle it. I didn't feel like waiting for weeks if GameStop didn't have a replacement available immediately, so I called Google not really expecting them to do anything for me (they certainly didn't owe me anything). They gave me the news I expected (RMA through ASUS) and I went on. Luckily GameStop allowed me to keep my defective Nexus 7 while I was waiting for the replacement, so all was well.

Anyway, that story didn't hold much relevance unless you plan on ordering from another source. But, yes, there are exchanges through Google and apparently they're fairly simple.

I do use TItanium backup, but I don't see why there would be an Odex file for an app that has never been installed. I found tons of Odex files when I searched with Root Explorer, but none that seemed relevent to the apk I'm trying to install.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4352545:
I think, without root, you can't view /data, but you can try.

If you can, the sms should be located in this .xml: er /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

Then backup it via adb, reflash your rom and replace the file with the backuped one.

If you can't access /data, maybe you can root/flash cwm to your phone too, if it's bootloped? (Phone specific, so I don't know.)

Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runingwild:

and how can i view the .xml file? (im not experienced with android..)

btw, its an Htc Desire S. yes its stuck in bootloop now :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4352545:
Connect your phone to your computer, start adb shell and type in su and then cd data

If you can view the directory by typing in ls you should be able, to copy the .xml to your computer.

ok thanks. i downloaded SDK, then installed ADB package. But now i click on Adb icon and it wont open. what am i doing bad?? :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4352545:
You have to open cmd.exe and navigate to the location, where the adb file is located.

Then type in ‘adb shell’.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runingwild:
when i type in adb shell, it says Error: device not found, while the phone was in the boot menu.

Is it maybe because im missing drivers? I googled a bit and now i have the driver i need, its .exe file , what should i do with this file? if i double click on it, i get an error message.

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4352545:
Yes, the drivers could be the problem or maybe (but I don't hope so) the phone isn't recognizable in this mode via adb.

If you're using Windows, go to the device manager and check, if there's a android thing with a exclamation, then refresh the driver of this, if it's possible. Simply via right click etc. (Of course, if the device is connected.)

And have you tried this here? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15585507&postcount=2

btw: Your phone seems to don't boot up since a few days, do you don't need it? Another idea is, maybe you can backup all your files via fastboot/download mode or something else, but you'll have to post this question in the device specifically forum, because it's different on phones.

Okay, one more time good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runingwild:
hello
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runingwild:
yes, in the device manager there is an android thing with a yellow exclamation. i clicked on refresh the driver and i get the window asking me where i want to get the driver from. since i have the driver in an Sd card, i´ll try that tomorrow.

well, i do need the phone, but now im using my old one. until i can finally fix this issue.

What did you mean with the Fastboot mode? when im in the boot menu, i can select Fastboot, but it wont help much, because it will just start the booting again (bootloop). but i dont know if this is what you meant with fastboot.

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4352545:
Okay, but you can also let Windows automaticly search the internet for the drivers.

About fastboot, I don't know if you can backup files with this. (Normally you can use this to flash boot.img etc.) And I don't know, how it works on your device, so ask in your device forum.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runingwild:
adb is not recognizing the device, so im giving up on recoverying the phone data. I tried a factory reset to fix the bootloop but it aint working either. So now i can only think of sending it to the Htc technical center, the phone is under warranty.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4352545:
