[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dacian:
I'm not sure if anyone else has notices this or if it's just me. I have the deodexed OTA for 4.2. Just last night I noticed I can't find the Google drive app icon anywhere. It's not in the app drawer and it is ladle labeled as installed and I can access it by the way of the widget but that's it. I tried reinstalling it but no go. Anyone else having this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mentose457:
Strange. Is the apk in/data/apps or in /system/apps?

OTA = over the air. I was unaware that Google OTA'd a deodexed update. Kewl.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dacian:
Quite obvious it's the custom ROM based on the OTA, but I do enjoy the many ways sarcasm can be misused and from time to time I forget them. It is people like you who do a great service to the people of the internet.

But back to the topic, yes it shows up in the settings as a downloaded app but it does not show up in the system/app directory. But Google Play shows it's installed, I have the widget, and the app loads.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mentose457:
Clear cache and data. Who knows it might help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dacian:
Well I gave it a shot. I cleared cache and data, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it refuses to make an icon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yumfoods:
This might not have anything to do with this but Google might be diddling around with Drive itself. Just tonight I tried accessing (on my stock 4.2 GN) a shared company Drive spreadsheet that I just updated on Sunday and Drive was making it difficult for me (I.e., not recognizing the Google account and some other things). When I finally cleared it up (by logging off/signing in a few times), I was able to access and view the spreadsheet but not edit it (which what I need to do).

If it's any consolation, I wasn't able to edit it on the company iPad that's there for that purpose.

Again, it may be unrelated (and I'm still learning here) but in case that helps...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BackInA88:
I added Google Drive under Web Storage in X-plore and it shows up and all my stuff is there.

I am running MMuzzy's 4.2 Verizon build.

Where did you get the widget?

Steve
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dacian:
The widget was just Google's widget that is added when you install the app. I remembered I had "add widgets to desktop" unchecked through Google Play so I selected it and reinstalled the app and it put an icon on my home screen, so that fixes my problem temporarily, as the icon is still missing from the app drawer and does not show the app in my system menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK00230:
Don't you guys think that Drive should be a built-in app? It should be a natural part of the Android ecosystem. I don't think there are many people who don't use Drive, so it'd be more convenient to just make it a built-in app. This could bring in more support for it, too.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattsnowboard:
Has anyone use the TF201 on an airplane with closed, but not noise-cancelling headphones?

I've found that it's not possible to get the volume up loud enough on my Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones to be able to hear dialog in movies. The headphones are great, but even with a closed design they are just too quiet at the loudest volume to really hear well on an airplane.

Has anyone used a portable amp with the prime that you would recommend? I've done a quick search and it seems like a lot of amps need a digital input. I'd imagine that I'd just need a simpler analog amp that takes a 3.5mm input. I'm looking for something cheap to just help on an airplane. Any recommendations? The cheaper the better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] abraham.ramirez:
Check out of the fiio e line. They have some portable amps that use the 3.5mm connection. I have a fiio e6 and i like it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mattsnowboard:
Have you used it on an airplane and does it seem to give you enough of a boost to overcome the background noise? I think I got confused when I saw the fiio amps because they photos show them hooked up with a custom connection to an iPhone for example, but now I see they just take a 3.5mm input.

And they aren't too expensive so I might just try it out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NRGZ28:
I have the same model headphones.. a Prime.. a Fiio amp. The cheapest one... And they work great! Makes them much louder :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
using windows phone 7 on my hd2 you could increase these volumes from the rom. Is there nothing like this in android?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Don't know if you tried any of the apps on the play store. I use volume + app. Works great. Lets you go above the stock volume levels for both the internal speakers and headphones. There are other apps out there to boost volume as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NRGZ28:
Of course.. but you need to be running a rooted/custom ROM. You can usually mess with the audio configuration files in the /etc folder for whatever audio amplifier chip is in the device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] seeknom:
I use an app from the play store called "equalizer" to accomplish what you're looking to do, works perfect:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5zbWFydGFuZHJvaWRhcHBzLmVxdWFsaXplciJd

Just do a custom setting, and instead of doing a typical EQ curve, just boost every slider by the same amount and this will give you a volume boost.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DarkMinax:
I have these ... quite loud. Powered by 4 'AAA' ...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibsdroid:
Short version - is it possible to copy files from my phone to my PC using fastboot (or perhaps adb)? The cyanogenmod WIKI for fastboot, among others, imply that you can (under the section Examples -> Manual Nandroid Restore it says "Make a Nandroid backup, and copy the folder off your SD card to your desktop."). Sorry I'm not allowed to post the link due to being a new user, but this is what it says:

"Make a Nandroid backup, and copy the folder off your SD card to your desktop.

cd ~/Desktop/path/to/backup/

fastboot flash userdata data.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot"

If it is possible, is "flash" the correct command to be using? The description of the flash command when you run "fastroot help" implies it writes data to the phone, not from the phone to the PC... Unfortunately almost everything I search for around the flash command is examples showing how to load ROMs etc, I can't seem to find anything else that points to it being used to backup data...

[UPDATE] - From what I understand you can't copy files off the phone using fastboot commands, but can using adb - so a few questions:

- Does anyone know why adb wouldn't see my device (when I run "adb devices") but fastboot does (note that I'm on the fastboot screen)?

- Does adb require debugging mode to be on?

[UPDATE-2] - Still can't get adb working, suspect it's because USB debugging isn't enabled (though not sure how I can check?). I did try using fastboot to erase the /cache partition in case the lockout data was stored in there - but this didn't work unfortunately. Looking likely I'll just have to wipe it with fastboot oem unlock :(

Long version / background info:

Using a Samsung Nexus S with Android 4.1

The other night someone down the pub decided to try to unlock my phone, and apparently got the pattern wrong so many times it's now requiring me to enter my Google account details.

Fine, I enter the username / pass, only it says they're wrong - I know they're correct because I've just confirmed they are by logging into Gmail. It says they're incorrect so quickly that I suspect it's not even connecting to the web to check. The icons at the top imply there is signal, but it looks as though 3G / data is off, and there's no WiFi icon even though I'm sat next to my wireless router. I can't find any way to re-enable WiFi / 3G without first unlocking the phone - which requires a net connection. So I got into Fastboot Mode and selected Recovery and the device looks as though it's doing something (deleting all user data I assumed), but when it starts up it's exactly the same - which implies the user data hasn't been erased.

Then I installed fastboot, and the drivers for the Nexus S.

When I run "fastboot devices" I can see the phone listed, however bizarrely "adb devices" lists nothing.

"fastboot oem unlock" seems to work (the phone prompts me to confirm I want to give root access & delete all user data). I haven't done this yet as I want to see if I can save my data somehow using adb or fastboot commands.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] premsrj:
For adb to work, your phone must be booted and USB debugging enabled. In your current situation, as far as I know, a factory reset is the only option.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
The phone is either in ADB mode or in Fastboot mode. It can never be in both ADB and Fastboot at the same time. ADB requires the phone is up and running, Fastboot requires the phone is in bootloader mode. ADB requires debugging turned on.

If you unlock your bootloader, you can boot the phone using fastboot and your own recovery image using "fastboot boot myrecovery.img" (notice, no flash keyword here). Booting your device with this recovery image, you can do whatever you like and the image permits, e.g. running ADB and copying files. You'll need this recovery image, though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibsdroid:
Thanks, I did try fastboot with a recovery image, but it currently doesn't work because I need to unlock the bootloader (which will wipe all data anyway). Sounds like I will need to just wipe it :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] confussed geek:
Facing same issue.

Is there anyway so I could copy userdata.img to my pc and then delete gesture.key file (I am running Lollipop) with NO USB DEBUGGING ON in Fastboot mode.

I have gone through "unpacking and packing .img files"http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/ref-unpacking-repacking-stock-rom-img-t1081239

But it is out of my knowledge range can anyone get through it and explain me the same.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYSE:
Hi! I am in the same situation... ADB not working, only fastboot... Any way to save my data? Do I need to unlock bootloader to install a stock recovery? Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oneplus8TPinFinder:
Hi - I am in exactly same situation as well. I am using Oneplus 8t. Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks
[LG Optimus G (International)] joncwchao:
In Canada, I am unable to get my Rogers LG-E971 to connect to Bell's LTE network. Talked with Bell technical support and they said that the phone is not reporting LTE capability. I even messed around in the service menu (use 971 instead of 973 or 970 in the code) and enabled the bands that bell uses, still no go. I can't even return the phone now, because I had to unlock it to try it on Bell.

Bell sells the LG-E973. I bought the Rogers because Bell will not sell new phones without selling/renewing a plan along with the phone.

So, to sum up, don't go buying a Rogers Optimus G hoping to get LTE to work on Bell (or Telus, I assume) after unlocking. You'll be out your $700 because shops won't accept the return if the phone has been unlocked.

Edit: Forgot to say, I get 4G HSPA speeds (pulling 15Mbps down on speedtest compared to 30Mbps down on a friend's iPhone 5 LTE connection) on Bell.
[LG Optimus G (International)] cpus456:
Confused

i got the g for rogers aswell.. are you saying that rogers doesnt provided lte?

my signal says 4g... thought that meant LTE??

and your right.. i get 14mb down.. is supposed to be 30???
[LG Optimus G (International)] joncwchao:
from speedtest videos, it's supposed to have an lte icon when it's on lte. you can check which network it's on by checking settings->about phone->status (or something along those lines, i don't have the phone in front of me at the moment).

You should be able to get LTE on rogers, if you're not you need to check your coverage at http://www.rogers.com/web/content/w...nsumer_Wireless_Eng-_-Network_0909-_-coverage

My personal issue is just that it's not compatible with Bell LTE (as far as I can tell).
[LG Optimus G (International)] dpvu:
4G is HSPA+ not LTE. If you're on Rogers and not getting LTE with the Rogers phone make sure you live in an area with LTE coverage and that you have not accidentally disabled it in the mobile network settings.

As for the Rogers version not working with Bell LTE, maybe once the bootloader is unlocked it will be possible to flash the Bell radio and have it work?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Joyok:
I think this is because the rogers optimus g's LTE runs on the 2600mhz band only, as far as i know, so far, it is the ONLY phone in the country that runs on the 2600 band currently. The upside is that you practically get your own private "highway" and you should see significant speed advantages as long as you are connected to roger's network. The downside is that it not very compatible with other networks.
[LG Optimus G (International)] joncwchao:
I read this, but most of the articles I'd read said that the 2600MHz band was supposed to be a joint rollout between Rogers and Bell. Sigh.

The possibility of flashing the radio is still pretty far off unfortunately. This phone's going on craigslist; I'll just have to wait till people actually have the Bell one in stock to get my new Optimus.
[LG Optimus G (International)] cpus456:
just called rogers

i had the sim from my iphone4 installed.. thats why it was saying 4g

went to put the lte one in that they sent me and its too big!! they sent me the full size one ...grrrrr!!
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
In korean version of the G, HSPA+ shows as 3G and LTE as 4G.

I believe ive never seen the LTE icon on the G.
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
i have a rogers 971 OG in winipeg aka no lte, shows as 4g therefore probably hspa+ im guessing lte might have a lte icon???

cant really test from where im at
[LG Optimus G (International)] theMaDHakkeR:
I'm in toronto and mine has an LTE icon.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
Here the korean screen.

But it obviously depends on the provider/phone version.

The LTE icon probably shown only for providers which dont support the full version of LTE, just the internet/data.

Btw HSPA+ arent related to the 4G, so basically its a cheating and should be sued :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Haze028:
I dont think the possibility of flashing a different radio is as far off as you think
[LG Optimus G (International)] amrando:
Hi all-

I have my E970 working on Rogers, and yes - that's one of the reason I've stuck to the AT&T phone. I suspected Rogers would f*** the consumer somehow as usual. Then again, I still have no Wifi hotspot capability until a ROM update removes AT&T's block.. :silly:

How exactly does one access the service menu to enable or disable various frequencies? I had asked about changing the baseband radio support because the AT&T 700mhz support is useless here in Canada, as the spectrum auction hasn't even run yet. It'll be 18 months or more before a provider has any support for it. But I could use 2600mhz support, or 1800 or 2100mhz support for roaming on vacations.

The band all GSM North American Optimus G models should have in common is the AWS band - 1700up/2100down. The E970 also has 700mhz, the Rogers E971 2600mhz and Telus/Bell E973s ??? (most websites claim 1800mhz, but this seems odd since neither actually use this frequency for LTE).

On the E970, HSPA+ service shows a 4G icon. :rolleyes:

On LTE service it shows 4G LTE, even though the speeds are nothing alike. HSPA+ Here in Alberta is typically 1-4Mbit, the LTE speeds so far are nothing to write home about either, averaging about half the claims I see from Rogers users in Ontario or BC - typically 15-30Mbit downstream and 8-12Mbit upstream in various parts of the city.

Here's my Speedtest.net samples from Rogers LTE over the weekend, check the attached screenshot. The speeds seem all over the map, but are all in the same areas of the city, downtown and northside.
[LG Optimus G (International)] joncwchao:
Service menu can be accessed by typing 3845#*970# into the dialer, where you replace 970 with the model number of the phone (Bell is 973, Rogers is 971). From there, ->LTE-Only->Modem Settings->LTE Band Selection. Checking the items seems to apply the settings immediately.

If you're getting 30Mbps then that's pretty good, here in Vancouver Rogers seems to top out around 50Mbps with good weather and everything. If you ever get more than half the claimed speeds you're probably standing in a testing lab.

Haze08, I've seen that the American models are unlocked now, but they still have to do the work on the Canadian ones, then someone would still have to have the inclination to figure out the differences between Bell and Rogers models, then figure out a safe way to flash the baseband, then test if it's safe to modify the baseband of one model to make LTE work on a different network. That assumes that it's possible; it could be a hardware issue that can't be fixed by flashing the radio. I'm not even convinced there'd be a demand for figuring out how to make the Rogers model work on Bell, seeing as how the Bell model is starting to trickle in stock. All these factors add up to me not holding my breath that someday the Rogers model will be able to connect to Bell's LTE network.
[LG Optimus G (International)] theMaDHakkeR:
I'm just hoping to get the bootloader unlock and stock 4.2 with AWS 2600 LTE support for the Rogers E971. I like this phone and really don't want the hassle of changing it for an N4. This phone phone is simply better in every other way.
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
How old is your Bell SIM? When I upgraded to an LTE device on Telus I needed the new SIM card. Without it, your device likely will not report LTE capabilities to Bell. If you look at the Galaxy S3, the SGH-i747 is identical for Bell, Telus and Rogers, and all support LTE and there are no issues bringing unlocked phones between the 3 carriers, so it doesn't make sense that the Optimus G itself would behave like this.
[LG Optimus G (International)] joncwchao:
The sim card I have is a Bell LTE microsim, and it's getting LTE on my new LG-E973.

To clarify:

Rogers LTE microsim + LG-E971 unlocked = Rogers LTE connection

Bell LTE microsim + LG-E971 unlocked = NO Bell LTE connection

Bell LTE microsim + LG-E973 bought from Bell = Bell LTE connection
[LG Optimus G (International)] suerspud9:
hey

do you know if the E973 (bell) would work on rogers LTE?
[LG Optimus G (International)] joncwchao:
Unfortunately I would have to pay to get the E973 unlocked and buy another rogers sim (I sold mine already), so I don't have an answer for you. Sorry.
[LG Optimus G (International)] suerspud9:
no worries, thanks for posting your other results!
[LG Optimus G (International)] dpvu:
I believe FreeGee also SIM unlocks the phone so you wouldn't need to pay. I would try it but I don't know anyone with a Rogers micro SIM.
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
Sorry, but this is incorrect as far as I know. SIM locks and bootloader locks are different, although they often show up together like in the case of Sony phones, which are carrier locked, and then bootloader locked at the request of the carrier without the ability to unlock.
[LG Optimus G (International)] allen mcbrisket:
will bell/telus version work on rogers LTE network?

Greetings all, hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday

I have read over this thread and others like it and still havent quite found the answer I am looking for haha

I'm a rogers customer but the LGOG I can get would be from Bell.. will I get LTE?

I think I am able to, just not the 2600 mghrtz? am I correct??

Any help regarding this is greatly appreciated and again a safe and happy holiday to all!

Many thanks in advance
[LG Optimus G (International)] ramblo:
I'm with fido (same LTE as rogers minus 2600 for now) and i can confirm bell is compatible for LTE (I believe on 2100 band).
[LG Optimus G (International)] reflame:
I am with Virgin (Bell) and cannot get LTE since Rogers only uses 2600. Hopefully we might get all the bands like the Nexus 4 once a modded rom comes out that does this.
[LG Optimus G (International)] iEthos:
wrong ...

HSDPA+ is 3.5G

4G is half of LTE

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 AM ----------

Nexus 4 has DC-HSDPA it is 3G fastest speed eqivalent to 4G ..

So 4G is useless because it is early these days and 500mb of internet in here UK costs 35 pounds .. insane people there in EE network..
[LG Optimus G (International)] aydn:
Can someone confirm if the E970 (ATT) or LS970 (Sprint) can truly access LTE on Rogers 2600Mhz? Neither seem to have 2600Mhz posted on LGs spec site, though I'm not positive what the LS970 actually has:

" Technology: CDMA

• Frequencies: 1.9 GHz CDMA PCS,800 MHz CDMA

• Data Transmission: EVDO Rev. A, LTE"
[LG Optimus G (International)] gbssengo:
Believe it or not, I have the Rogers E971 and I have full LTE on my Virgin Mobile network...
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
Yeah I'm pretty sure the E971 can do Band 4 AWS LTE even though it is not listed in the specs. You can test by going to the service menu and selecting all LTE bands and then unchecking all and just re-selecting band 4. Takes a few seconds but you will get LTE as long as there is LTE reception in the area.

However my observations are that the OG will not choose LTE unless the signal is strong enough based on side by side with my Note2.
[LG Optimus G (International)] reflame:
What speeds are you getting? How did you enable Bell's band?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Mryella:
I'm also from Winnipeg on rogers using e971. I recently traveled through Regina and Calgary both have lte and can confirm the symbol changes as for the bands I'm not to sure
[LG Optimus G (International)] bigystyle84:
Sorry to bump this old Thread - But is this true?

I'm about to buy my wife a Optimus G from Rogers thats unlocked for $250 to use on Virgin Mobile, which uses all the same bands as Rogers except LTE is 700/1700 rather than Rogers 700/2600

Worse case is HSPA+ only - which we can live with fine - but if I can get LTE working I would

Does changing the bands in the Service menu work? Can anyone confirm this for me ASAP?
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
Nope.

[LG Optimus G (International)] jayandcourt:
lte on virgin

how did u manage to get lte on the virgin with the rogers optimus g
[LG Optimus G (International)] bigystyle84:
He's lying - My wife has a Rogers Optimus G on Virgin Mobile and it does not work with LTE - Virgin does not have a 2600 MHz LTE band - so only HSPA+ works, which she is fine with anyways. (She doesn't even know what LTE is)
[LG Optimus G (International)] jayandcourt:
ya thats what i thought i have tried everything and it has never picked up lte and sadly enough i had a data issue where it wouldnt stay connected for long after u booted the phone and if i disconnect from wifi my data wouldnt come back
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
Bell also runs LTE on the 2600mhz frequency but not as widely as Rogers. Doesn't Virgin use Bell towers?
[LG Optimus G (International)] phoenix_rizzen:
Bell has the option to use 2600 MHz, but they don't.
