[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skadebo:
Because iOS is the lead platform and it's not worth the money to put additional effort into optimizing for hundreds of combination of hardware running Android. This is where iOS is more awesome than Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ECOTOX:
Yea ik T.T I just don't like to admit it ... Gameloft makes games I wanna play but they're lazy bastards :| really wish android wasnt considered the ugly step child they gotta pay some attention to by some of the lead developers. Makes you wonder how long they plan looking at android that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skadebo:
Like any industry we're going to see a consolidation of suppliers. For internals I'm thinking Samsung and Qualcomm, (Texas Instruments has dropped out, right?). For screen resolution I think it's still a crapshoot, hopefully we'll have settled on 1280 x 720 (OH HAI NEXUS 4 with your silly 768 width resolution, I thought Nexus was the reference. Will the reference change every year? That's nice).

But yeah, once everyone's on Samsung and Qualcomm silicon then maybe it'll be slightly easier for the devs to dev on Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ECOTOX:
I suppose, but I see this mostly happening with big names. Smaller companies seem to have less problems but it's too much for the likes of Gameloft and others? The zenonia games for example I've had no problems with since my G1 back in the day. It's run on every device and every OS that I've had no issues. I don't think it's a matter of " difficulty" it's a matter of laziness. I will say in regards to hardware that I wouldn't count nvidia out so much :P I'm not a fan of them but I think that nvidia, Qualcomm, and Samsung will be the big three (sad to see Texas instrument go :c) Intel and AMD don't have much chance in the space outside of maybe tablets, I don't see them doing well in regards to phones. Though I would like to seem a dual core AMD APU with a radeon Chip in my phone or tablet :P

Edit: my opinion of laziness would also stem from the fact that Nova 3 hasn't worked on my GNex in almost two months since the last update and Gameloft has yet to fix it. The fact that they manage to break support then just don't fix it is ridiculous. No communication on the matter or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skadebo:
By difficulty I really means time and money. One thing I've learned since working in QA on mobile projects is that developers aren't lazy, management jus doesn't let them fix things due to the money involved.they would rather put money towards a new game for more sales while maintaining some semblance of quality, at least that's the idea. Some go for quantity of games over quality but in the long run they'll hurt themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Agreed. That's why in this day and age u only have respect for some game developers. My list would go towards valve corporation as they still provide free dlc and bit releasing games that aren't done. My second goes to blizzard entertainment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Steam on Android needs to happen soon. And I mean "real" Steam.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
Pretty sure android is the top platform.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Too much hardware differentiation from a dev standpoint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ECOTOX:
I know the individuals themselves aren't lazy :P I don't blamed the employee I blame the company they work for. Gameloft needs to get it straight that quality will earn them loyalty and in the long run five them better revenue due to a better reputation. Like Valve for instance, I'd buy any game they made in a heartbeat because I know the company as a whole provides quality games and customer support. Favoring a given platform in the mobile space with how it's evolving isnt gonna be the way to go. Companies need to look at the mobile space similar to the desktop/laptop gaming space not like consoles. Phones/tablets are closer to desktops/laptops in function and need to be treated as such. That's just my opinion c:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ECOTOX:
In regards to games the functionality between devices isn't much different then how it is with everyday PCs. You got gaming rigs, low end laptops, etc. With single, dual, quads, some only support up to SSE2 instructions, some have GPU with steam core or the old pixel/vertex processor type. The mobile space is no different than regular computers in that regard. The processors are mostly ARM based or arm compatible which due to dalvik isn't a concern. GPU all have support for pretty much the same functions with some difference in things like supported texture formats. There really is no excuse as the mobile space isn't bringing anything radical to the table.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
What would be considered "real" Steam? Valve making a source engine for Android and allownig devs to use it? ... hmm now that I loudly pointed that out, it is a pretty nice initiative if a source engine was made. I saw ports of CS and Portal 2 (which VALVE told the developer to take it off and the dev stopped the project) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e9JhE9miOg
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ECOTOX:
I heard rumor valve was considering it somewhere :3 steam that is

And I'd love to see a source port to mobile c:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] lgogfool:
I decided to get this phone over the S3 for a multitude of reasons, but one thing that has bummed me out is that I can't do the mod to use inductive charging. Is there a chance a case could be made to plug into the bottom of the phone to do this? Or any other way to crack the phone open and mod for wireless charging?

I didn't put this in the accessories section since modding might be an option. :)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] GuestX0011:
the case option is possible using an induction coil but care would have to be taken to make sure the proper voltage and amps are flowing through the coil before plugging it into the bottom of the phone. If you can solder it should be possible to mod it directly into the phone. I put up a quick design for a case using my autocad but I haven't had time to do much of anything besides xda read/reply...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] arhoover:
I'm curious about this too. I looked in the service manual and found a similar power point used in other mods for the touchstone. Has anyone tried to mod in this way yet?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
what is the reality of this for our phones?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] aero449:
From the pictures posted in this forum for the disassembly to get to the battery, our phone does not even have the same contacts as our sister phone (Nexus 4) to accept a wireless charging coil. Wireless charging would have to be added to this phone by tapping into the USB port either internally via a hardware mod, or externally with a low profile USB port and a charging coil integrated into a case.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
hmm.... well, I guess that makes sense since pretty much nothing else on this phone is the same as the nexus 4, except of course that LG makes them and they both have a glass back.

I could swear that somewhere in XDA I had seen someone do a mod like this to the AT&T version and now I can't find it. I need to cut the lucid dreaming apparently.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Akop87:
I was able to put the coild and little magnets in the back of my phone case... so now it sticks to my touch stone... I have not soldered any wires to 5v or grnd on on the phone at all.. That is beyond by ability currently i will look into it. Looks like the nexus 4 has simple prongs already there (for the orb) but they did not include those prongs in the optimus g sprint or att. so either me or someone that is far more skilled will need to figure out where those points should connect to before doing so.

Sorry guys didnt take picture i was a little early to work this morning and did it at my desk before work started. took about 30min. (remember no wiring just simply put coild and magnets in my phone so it at least sticks to the touch stone in my car)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
If you somehow got this to work i would be thrilled. I want wireless charging BAD...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ink-red-ible:
Hey Guys i got it to work, i read this a while back and bought the touchtone and the pixi cover with the inductive charging... it took me about half an hour, i used my s line rubber cover to attach the coil and the little magnets, i used a micro usb tip to attach it to the phone, its not perfect but it came out pretty good. if you want pictures or anything just let me know
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ink-red-ible:
Heres some pictures
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
That's awesome! Any chance you could upload a video of it actually charging. Not that I doubt that it does, I would just like to see how the whole set up looks with phone and charge and everything.

Thanks for putting that together!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] j4g3rb0mb3d:
Take no offense to this, because I'm really not trying to be rude, but that looks terrible. But if it works for you, that's all that matters.

Anyways, I'm trying to get the palm inductive charging coil working internally on a bad esn LGOG that I have. I haven't had time to take it apart, but it is on my to-do list in the near future. I still have my old pre, a spare back cover, and a touchstone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ink-red-ible:
Sure! As soon as i get a chance ill record it, most likely this morning, thanks

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

You know what? I completely agree with you, it does look bad, if the cover were plain black, you would only see the micro usb conection... but the ideal thing is to find a connection i side the device, if you find anywhere i can plug the power wires i will, i also have a spare OG with a bad esn...

I think that if we follow the same fitment guidelines as in that N4 tutorial, we should be okay. The internals look very similar. We'd probably have to tap into the USB port's power for it to work, as we don't have the Qi charging coil.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ink-red-ible:
okay i saw the webpage and it is doable, i just bought a micro soldering iron tip and a kit to open the phone (again) carefully... now if you could somehow tell me on the micro usb which two are the power pins so i can solder the two wires there and then to the coil, with that ill make it in a day... i made my little prototype in half an hour or less. Thanks!!!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] j4g3rb0mb3d:
That I don't know, but that's something that I'm guessing that is standard throughout the micro usb standard. They all should be the same across the board.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ink-red-ible:
ive searched but i still cant find where to connect the two prones
[Sprint LG Optimus G] j4g3rb0mb3d:
Alright, I think I have it figured out. You'll notice that the dude from the Nexus 4 tutorial soldered his red wire onto the side of a black diode labeled "A/W". After taking apart my spare LGOG, we have that same A/W diode (it's microscopic), but it's angled a different way. I think if you solder the positive wire on the the pin that's on the side of the A/W diode facing the battery, and then ground the negative wire onto the exposed copper plate that's next to the screw hole (and right next to the A/W diode), this *may* (no guarantees) work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ink-red-ible:
I Guess i did it!!!! i soldered the two wires to the tiny diode and then to the palm coil that i just got today in the mail. everything works but there's something hard to do and that is fitting everything in there, i already tried and had no luck the thing has a little back belly lol.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] j4g3rb0mb3d:
Awesome news. Pretty cool. I wonder if the same thing would work with a Qi coil. Qi is probably the way to go because it definitely has a thinner profile, and plenty of OEM's are coming out with charging bases for it. You also don't have to align any magnets for it to work.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] etalocohc:
Any pictures? i am keen to try this with a qi coil (hacking a S4 charging pad) however would need more details so i dont blow my phone up
[Sprint LG Optimus G] piotrus22:
yes very keen to see if you can do this with Qi and Ink-redi-ble's pics on what he soldered to get it to work!!??
[Sprint LG Optimus G] piotrus22:
bump bump bump can we get some more info on this inkredible?? or anyone else that got this to work?

my qi charger is in the mail and pencil solder so i'm ready to get to work!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Apolonico:
Any pictures? It is very interesting.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] killerskincanoe:
Sad this thread didn't go much further it was really getting interesting... thinking of looking into wireless charging as well. and would love to know if any of you have progressed in your journey to achieve wireless charging with our LG OG's ?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] piotrus22:
ha. yeah dude i did. was so excited to try it out i cracked my back getting it off. looked it over, got the parts just need a micro solder trip. but haven't attempted because the glass is cracked so i want to limit the amount of times i take it off. didn't know the new one would be $60! :(

anyway not sure if i'll do it anyway since the moto x came out I might just sell it...

but the part you have to solder it to is TINY. so it's not an easy job - PLUS i tried the pre-coil for a touchstone AND the qi pad and they both cause the back to bulge. (without a cracked back that might be fine, but it's not an option for me now cause the glass is being pushed out...)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ink-red-ible:
Sorry!!!!

I am very sorry i abandoned the thread guys! i ended up selling one of the phones and the other one had in a drawer until i gave it to a little cousin to play games. I pulled it off with the qi coil but closing back the device was really hard plus i could not fit the magnets. Now if somebody is still interested and willing to add wireless charging the best bet is qi which will fit credibly well, just get the cheapest one available and solder it to the diode shown in the guide posted in page 2 of the thread the same diode is used on the nexus 4 and the optimus g. SORRY AGAIN!!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjn37:
I bought a GOgroove SMARTmini AUX A2DP to use in my car. I have successfully paired it with my phone but when I play audio it still does not go through the GOgroove.

If I look under bluetooth setting I see the device as paired but if I click on the icon for the device, the only only options are "rename" and "unpair". What do I have to do to route my sound through bluetooth?

I am running Jelly Bean 4.2.1.

The bluetooth device also paired successfully with my iPod touch and I could play music from my iPod to the GOgroove.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Tap the device name in the "paired devices" list (not the settings icon) to connect to it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjn37:
When I do, nothing happens. How do I know it is connected? I suspect it is not connected because my bluetooth device turns off after a couple of minutes. It is supposed to stay on if it is connected to a device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
When you tap the device name it immediately say "connecting..." and then say "connected". If it is not I would suggest un pairing and pair again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjn37:
ouriedt designers

It does not say connected. I tried un-pairing and pairing again, same problem. It seems like this bluetooth receiver does not work with my phone. I am going to find a different Android phone to try it with.

I'm going to try this fix for A2DP

Looks like sample rate is missing in the at a2dp line in the "audio_policy.conf"(/etc) line "sampling_rates 48000" and the 44100 needs to added before the 48000 with this "|" symbol and it should look like this "sampling_rates 44100|48000".

After changing the sampling rate reboot your device in order for it to take effect.

Edit file with root explorer text editor.
Before:
sampling_rates 48000
After:
sampling_rates 44100

Will report results

Hi all. Just a FYI, if you just bought your tablet or are thinking about getting one, GameStop is selling the 32GB for $299. I bought mine a couple of weeks ago from Best Buy and was able to get $50 back.

I'm not sure how long the GameStop sale is, possibly through tomorrow, but if you bought in the past few weeks in store it might be worth heading to the retailer and asking for a price match.

Here's the link, just showed it to the guy at the Customer Service counter.
