Good Luck!

Hi there,

I can't imagine what you must be feeling with your new toy out of order. I haven't hit your problem before, but I ran into a video for your issue though, and it seems fairly straight forward. hxxp://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-tutorials/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/

Good luck

I've had my black HOS for about 3 weeks now and since then it had a distinctive rust odor.. I know it has to do with the micro-arc oxidation thing..but is it normal to have that kind of smell? I wouldn't call this a severe "issue" since it isn't affecting its normal functionality and aesthetics.. not even a scratch. Anyone else experiencing this?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
I also used to have a "rust" kind of smell, but found out later that it was the smell of the recycled box.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
You guys are lucky. Someone early on pointed out that the grey anodization smells like hair...Never looked at my phone the same way again
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
I can't say I smell hair... However, I work in a machine shop and deal with anodized parts and different types of metals... So I could be used to it. :p
[HTC One S] Wirelessgirl:
Jeez, thanks a lot guys! Now I keep smelling my damn One S! LOL! Yes it's smells rusty. I'll call him Rusty. :silly:

I can't wait for my Cruzerlite Persona TPU cases to come in. I hope they don't smell bad either. LOL.
[HTC One S] shadowch31:
Can honestly say I've never once sniffed my phone?!?!?!?! :D

Okay now I have an well I cant smell anything really.
[HTC One S] PulpzillA:
sounds like your One S has bad BO. time to give it some lynx for Christmas!
[HTC One S] Wirelessgirl:
Neither have I until now. :eek:

heyy fellow skyrocketers

Iv been trying to make my own boot animations. after finally finding a proper software to create an image sequence. i still cant get it to work.

im using virtualdub to turn an .avi into an image sequence.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHvcBga2ino

i am trying to take each clip out of that video and make 5 separate boot animations.

i will take you through my steps

1. put the .avi into virtualdub and specify the start and end times.

2. rotate 90 degrees

3.resize to 480x800

4.export as image sequence

after i package up the zip and everything it doesn't work just black.

it did work ONCE but the size was smaller and i got excited thinking i got it andi ended up deleting that zip... now im back to 0.

if anyone can help in any way it will be greatly appreciated. thankss!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] FluffyRabbit:
There are two parts to a typical boot animation. Part0 and part1. It display 0 to 1 and then loops part 1. Within the bootanimation.zip you also have a desc.txt that gives the size, the speed, and the parts.

So your typical hierarchy looks like this.

bootanimation.zip\
part0\
--FileXX.jpg
part1\
--FileXX.jpg
--desc.txt

The images are in chronological order by number and sequence with each folder starting at File0.

The desc.txt looks similar to this (This was PA's)

720 816 10
p 1 0 part0
p 0 0 part1

Again, it goes, size then speed. The rest can be explained here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852621
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rts91:
sorry i didint make it clear but i am aware of all these steps. but there must be something i am doing wrong.

i am attaching the boot animation i made. maybe that helps,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
You are renaming it to "bootanimation.zip" right? Only asking because of the file you attached above, but I'm sure you just changed that name.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Radarscratch:
From looking at your file structure and desc file it would appear correct. A couple things though. The file name should be bootanimation not tok. Not sure of that is the issue.

Im assuming you are rooted and havea rom that supports boot animations.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Radarscratch:
Did you get it working, or did you give up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:

[Nexus 4 General] spotsbimmer:
I stopped by a Verizon store today with my N4. A Galaxy S3 was on display with Speedtest loaded, and it was on 4g LTE. Time for a side by side shootout! I figured it would dust my N4 pretty badly but to my surprise the N4 pulled 11.4 mbps down and 3.4 mbps up (I'm on T-mo prepaid). The S3 was only clocking 8.5 mbps down and 6.6 mbps up. Since most of my phone's activity is consuming and not sending data, the download speed is paramount.
[Nexus 4 General] crachel:
There are so many variables at play with regard to speed tests: network congestion, background apps, Speedtest itself, etc that a single test while standing in a store is completely worthless.

Further, we have several threads dedicated to comparing various devices against the N4 (and a few speed test threads). Please make your comments in one of those.

Why is it that I havent seen much splashscreen/splashscreen related threads for the One X?

Is it not modifiable? I've made tons of Splash screens for the Inspire before here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1108403

And I want to do that again for the One X and serve my fellow One x community .

Is there a guide/tool to do so?

Im not sure if it will be the same.

Thank you.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] silentecho13:
Right now, I have a temporary Belkin flip case that has a locking button. I'd ideally like a case with the following:

•No seals (no magnets, no button, just a flip panel)

•Covers the whole phone

•Preferably in white

•PU/Leather would be nice

•Not $5000000 (call in the Ebay links!)

•Functions as a stand

Anyone have any suggestions? I have a case coming out of China right now, but it doesn't work as a stand and it does have a magnet. I'm not too concerned about the magnet issue until I see it for myself, but I just realized how much I use the stand function of my current case.

Thanks guys!

I currently am using the incipio lgnd and love it. Takes a bit to get used to. It's build quality can't be beat and I feel a lot better with this on my phone when it's in my pocket.

The only time I dislike it is when I am laying in bed and typing. Holding the phone with my pinkies while typing gets cumbersome after a while.

And I have had zero issues with the elastic band. Just a few days to form a new habit of taking it off to open the flip.

my phone cant read my contacts in my simcard,i cant import my contacts to the phone?what could be the problem?how can fix this?
[LG Optimus 2x] asmerito:
Try to use another phone to export contacts then send them with Bluetooth to your O2X.
[LG Optimus 2x] danny_bru:
any other suggestion?
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
Which ROM are you using? I had the same problem on CM10 (posted it here). The problem was not only with the contacts, but with accessing the SIM card in general -- my phone number was not recognized in "About phone" summary, and my voice mail access number couldn't be retrieved from the SIM, and had to be configured manually. I don't recall fixing the problem -- it just went away when I got off CM10. My guess is that it might have something to do with the wrong BB or mismatched BB and RIL, but it's just my thought that I can't substantiate... I never had this issue on stock or stock-based custom ROMs, GB or ICS.
[LG Optimus 2x] danny_bru:
currently im using nova hd ics 4.0.4 and before using 2.3.7 cyanogenmod,it had the same problem,what stock based rom are u using?
[LG Optimus 2x] 60nine:
try some other contacts related applications from playstore...
[LG Optimus 2x] danny_bru:
same result,cant read the contacts in it
[LG Optimus 2x] kt-Froggy:
Right now I am on V30A official (rooted). Previously I was using Stefan's V28E-G, and even before that I was on different versions of GB stock-based ROMs by Carburano (DjangoManouche), Stefan, Flix123 and AtomicMod from MoDaCo. For GB ROMs, I mostly kept V20S BB with the matching RIL.

Like I said, never had this problem on any of the ROMs except CM10...
[LG Optimus 2x] ROBMK:
Hi! are you still fighting with this problem? If you have any solution would you please share it with me? I have experienced this issue since I first time tried custom ROMs. I have tried CM7 stable,some CM7 Kangs, tonyp's paranoidandroid ROMs(both ICS and JB) and now I'm on CM10 latest nightly. oh, and first custom I tried was JMCyanbreadMod , but installing that went wrong and got bootloop-->panic(I was a COMPLETE NOOB back in those times...:D)--->lots of wipes ,resets and formats. Maybe that has something to do with our/my problem?
[LG Optimus 2x] XBK:
the same problem here, tried with jellybam 4.1.0 and CM 10.1 and can access my SIM contacts
[LG Optimus 2x] Byteater:
R: [Q] optimus 2x cant read sim card contacts

All the cm based roms have this problem. I don't know exactly what causes the problem since I am not a developer but i think it's drivers lacking caused. Maybe the sim driver of stock rom can't be used in cm, or it's just a bug.
[LG Optimus 2x] strugalovic88:
U can use 3rd party apps like "SIM contacts" by needom studio or "GO contacts"... it would show all your sim contacts on every rom..

Hit thanks if this helps!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xj220gt:
Hello all.

This guide will help you if you have:

A phone that will not turn on unless you plug it in and even then only an LG sign shows up followed by either blank/ rapidly flashing red light.

to my knowledge, what happened to put the phone in this state is the battery died while you were flashing a rom or something as such and the phone got confused on if it should be in charge mode or not.

being that the phone has a sealed battery, it is not as easy to pull out the battery as it is on other phones.

Fortunately for us, it is not difficult at all to unplug the battery!

REQ: torx screw driver that will fit but NOT STRIP the screws at the bottom of the phone.

Small phillips screw driver.

**I suggest charging the phone for a good 10 minutes before starting this. just to make sure it has a charge.

Step 1: unscrew the two screws at the bottom of the phone CAREFULLY!

Step 2: with your nails carefully pry up the back cover (inspect the phone carefully and identify the back cover from the rest of the phone.) off starting from the bottom of the phone.

Step 3: peel back the blue tape on the connector and remove the two screws.

Step 4: carefully pry up the connector from the top.

Step 5: plug back in and try powering on. By this point you should know if it worked and you can start putting the phone back together.

This guide is not the best (My first) but if you have any questions send me a message.

Good luck with your phones!

One of the first official LGOG teardown! Looks easier than expected..

@exemplarmusik sent from his LG - E970 ya dig?!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Fission_Chipz:
Awesome job, man. should come in handy for me at some point I am sure. I am curious though, those internals look identical to the Nexus 4's (as I guess we should expect) and I know the battery is glued down with the Nexus 4, so is that the case with our LGOG as well?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xj220gt:
Yeah. The battery is glued in. I dont see an issue replacing it though. maybe a heat gun to losen up the glue and you should be good.

And yeah, it is very easy to open up.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cclark1894:
This would have helped me last week. Oh well, got a replacement device and a free LG headset for my trouble.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drwario:
Yeah the name in system info is even mako just like n4

the best phone ever
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
I think it would only say that if unlocked, then you have N4 bootloaders.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
I had this fast flashing "brick"-like issue, but after I let my phone cool, I just held power and vol-up and my phone went straight to the boot loader.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deleted member 5006141:
Damn, I didn't think it'd be that easy to take it apart. I wonder if it'd be possible to stick a Qi wireless charger pad in there, like the Nexus 4.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Pony Express:
First of all, thanks for the guide. :good:

Here is what caused this to happen on my phone:

(black screen, flashing red light)

With phone off and charger plugged in you should be able to press power for a couple of seconds and it will show the charging progress. When you unplug the charger and press power you should see nothing unless you hold it long enough to power up the phone. Problem was that no matter how long you waited after unplugging the charger you could press power and see the progress ::what::

That causes the battery to drain, completely if left alone for a couple of days resulting in, you guessed it, black screen and flashing red light. After leaving it plugged in for 4-5 hours it regained a full charge and was fine.

This did not occur when phone was on while charging. Needless to say, I exchanged the phone. Hope this helps. :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] t0dbld:
Don't assume you have any other pictures

I was considering trying to steal the signal amplifier and the filter from this and put in n4 ... and chance you got any shots of those in the optimus g ?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] tiltman71:
I still cant get mine to turn on, I unhooked the battery, still nothing. I hold the power it goes to the lg screen then nothing. I can hold power and volume up and nothing happens. Does anybody have a idea, I want my phone back.

HELP!

My phone somehow will not turn on or charge! I have tried multiple chargers and outlets, and my phone will not charge or get the red light signaling that it is... There is no damage to the phone other than a small crack done a couple months prior. This happened very suddenly, the phone just ran out of batteries then stopped charging... is it possible to find the same battery as this and replace it?? My phone company said LG would not accept it because of the small crack on the front screen corner. Any help would be very greatly appreciated, really dont have the money to buy a phone off contract...

My phone is same yours. you plug and unplug somes times untill red light flash then push power button. goodluck
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Akop87:
Wow looks like there are connectors on the back to go to the inside of the back cover... I wonder if this is compatiable with the orbe!... if not it should be easy to use old Palm Touchstone parts to make it charge wirelessly.

I have the sprint version I am hoping it has the same connectors... You guys see the two prongs on the back cover adn the metal places they attach to??
[AT&T LG Optimus G] SnowLeopardJB:
Those prongs are for connecting to the antenna in the back cover, not a wireless charger.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] thistimearound:
I could use some help guys, if this thread isn't too old. I've searched high and low to the answer here and nothing is working. I've tried download mode, fastboot, recovery, reset, holding power down, plugging it in and unplugging it. I've pulled the plate off of the battery, tried LGNPST, drivers, etc. No go on anything.

The phone is still dead, and will not turn on. The best I've gotten is a solid red light after holding the power button for 15-20 seconds. Then after about 3-5 seconds it resumes flashing (alternating between the red light and the key buttons). If I continue holding the power button down it will repeat this, showing solid red and then reverting to flashing.

I can not get the screen to display anything, not even the charging animation, and none of my computers will even recognize the device. I've been messing with it all day and I'm stuck. If anyone can help me, at all, please do. I hate going to Sprint. Anything but that, please.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] duckfart:
me too.

I was doing the LGNPST and it was stuck at 67% for 15 min so i unplugged and the phone did nothing so I turned it off from recovery and nothing. no power only the power flashes red for a few seconds after pressing.

I am out of town now but if I can get it to turn back on I will send it back since I just received it today.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TangoXray:
Unfortunately, my phone is now completely unresponsive. I have had it plugged in to the original wall charger for over two hours and still no power. If i hold down the power button for about 15 seconds while plugged in the red light will blink once every second until i let go. However, if I unplug it and do the same the light will not come on. I'm about to disassemble my brick and see if the battery pull will help any.

Any success stories in detail would be appreciated. Plan B is to send it off to Mobiletechvideos.

Edit: Moving on to plan B....thanks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ewcrider:
I did this trick a couple weeks ago when my phone stopped responding. Could only get flashing light while plugged in, and no response when not plugged in. Eventually while plugged in I could get to the bootloader, but could not get to recovery. This fix worked for me, though it may not work for you. You will need a T5 torx (star) screwdriver. Good luck.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] omarvin:
... the same here, anyone found a solution? :crying:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TangoXray:
What happens when you plug it in to a computer?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] omarvin:
I hold the power button for 12 seconds, the sound of the windows warns that something was connected, going 3 seconds sound that something was disconnected (even without pressing button) in this short time the PST program can not connect, nothing appears on the screen and can not apply any ROM in download mode

I removed the battery, a charger was adapted to try a small charge, I tried several ways and so far, nothing.

I need help, here is hard to find anyone working with JTAG

TKS!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TangoXray:
You're hard bricked. I'm sure your computer recognizes the phone as "qhsusb dwnld" or similar. Mobile tech videos ships international.

Issue was not with Phone :)

I had the same issue.

phone was just not ready to boot.

after connecting to charger, it just flashed RED LED notifications..

nothing was happening to it.

i did everything i could but nothing worked.

finally, i just changed the charger (Adapter) and it worked for me.

i believe, there is some issue with LG Travel Adapters (Chargers)..

THanks everyone, i m using my phone normally becoause of you guys...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] elgl:
Thanks, I had the same problem where the red led was flashing while on a charger and not powering on otherwise. When it was just plugged in to the charger it would show the lg logo a couple of times. But opening it and unplugging the battery fixed it, thanks again! :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] i6941:
same issue,will try
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Screw_E975:
Problem fixed :)

The problem, that the phone doesn`t charge is the left screw from the conncetor in front of the battery - when the screw to tighty screwed, the phone doesn`t charge.

After the change of the battery, screwing the right screw normaly, connect the charger - then you see the STATUS LED, then comes the left screw - screwing the screw at the point that the STATUS LED switch off - a little bit return the screw and the LED is switching on - that`s all - then put the adhesive tape on the connector.

Simply finished :good: .

Sorry for my broken english, but i think you`ll understand it.

Had the same problem, in my case it was the charger causing the problem, the phone started charging once I changed the charger.

I need help!!

Ok so, i was wonderiong if you can help me with a situation going on with my Lg G3

Basically, i was at a pool party and what im aware of my phone did NOT fall into the pool, but water fell ontop of it, not much i might add. So after that like about 30min-1hour later i go to check out the phone, and it dosent turn on. So im thinking to myself ok maybe more water fell on it. So i put my phone in a bag of rice for 4 days, and untill yesturday i go and try and turn it on and nothing. Not a slash, no LG logo on it nothing, now the back of the phone is rather humid so i go and charge it. I leave it there for 2 hours or so and nothing. So the next day comes (today) i re charge with a new charger new location new everything. So i connect the phone first with my laptop (I have a chromebook) and so once i connect it to the charger and a red LED light comes up, and its there for like about 1-3 minutes and then its gone. I tryed to turn the botton but then the back of the phone to where like the camera is, it gets humid, so i diddnt want it to explode or anything so i put it around my AC so it can "cool down". I might add that this is not a brand new phone, its a used phone my aunt brought it around last december (2014) and i just got it recently about like a week ago, she told me that the phone was basically brand new i told her what happened she tells me its strange because that never happened to her before so i dont know. If you have more/any questions about the phone ask me and im glad to answer, please please please if you can help me, i bought the phone from her myself and i spent alot of money, and i dont want it to go to waist so please if you can email me back.

Thank You.
