After some time searching I only found a root procedure for this model, but nothing else, and of course not information about firm model exchange or replacement.

the rooting method u have give me works but my recovery still dont work to bck up rom so its not the way ive rooted it. what cwm have u got on urs
[General Questions and Answers] zedonetx:
i dont have cwm. i use titanium backup. plus i dont backup or recover whole phone. i only backup apps through titanium backup. I Format phone, and re-install backed-up apps to phone.

For battery,

install 'Go power master'. in app, go2 smart section, u will see 'close wifi n mobile data when screen is off'.

So it won't drain so much. As you see, it is lasting 1 full day approximately.

Plus, if you have rooted phone, you can even use smart cpu feature in this app. Using less cpu's when screen is off. Try it.

Press and hold vol - button and power button. Wait until LG Logo see at the first time, keep press and hold the above button. After the 2nd LG logo is coming, release only power button. You'll see the green android logo. Congrats!! You come into the suck recovery mode by LG.

Choose wipe nv partition, wipe cache partition and reboot. If your VU doesn't boot normally, try to wipe and factory reset your VU.

I think this is the best solution you can do...

Please feel free to contact me if you still confused...

Hello, As you I so much want Jelly bean update for the VU P895.

Is this way will work on P895 version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGKuxtwzwIo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Or are there any news from LG? They say the device will get the update in the first quarter.

What about custom ROM? isn't here any developer that can develop a Jelly Bean ROM for this device?

Problem with P895

Hi, could anyone help me?

My problem started with my phone rapidly heating up in my pocket, untouched and no processes running in the background. Frightened I decided to turn my phone off, to cool down.

After that the phone worked normally for ~ 2 weeks or more and then, one sad weekend the phone started working really slow and only Youtube worked (no other app would even start) and after a short while even Youtube wouldn't work. I decided to restart the phone, which took ages and was a bit weird: the prompt which says "Restarting your phone" kept on loading and loading until the screen went black.

I thought that the battery had died, so I ordered one and replaced it, in vain.

I have tried the LG Mobile Support Tool but since my phone doesn't even turn on, the program doesn't recognize it.

Before this, I updated my phone to V10F which too, was problematic. I downloaded the update and after a restart it started updating, but stayed at 5%. The update stayed at this percentage as long as the battery ran out, and miraculously after charging it went through the whole update and the phone worked normally.

So, I beg all the smart people at this forum to help me if they can!
[General Questions and Answers] wkobaint:
Have you try start your phone on download mode??

Open LG support tool first. Press and hold volume down button and than connect it into your usb cable.

LG support tool will check your phone driver, wait until finish. If your phone has been connected, go to option and than choose recovery option. Before that, please select your country and language.

Hopefully this is can solve your problem.
[General Questions and Answers] SteamyBunghole:
Hi, thanks for your help but when I try to connect in download mode, windows does recognize that something is connected but prompts that it is in a fault state which means that it is not recognized. The LG Mobile Support Tool doesn't respond in any way, and I don't know what to do anymore... Is there a log which would tell me what happens when I connect the phone to my PC?

Trying to install a fresh .kdz wouldn't probably help either if nothing recognizes it nor anything with the R&D Test Tool?

The device is probably not under warranty because i've replaced the digitizer glass on it myself.. :(
[General Questions and Answers] wkobaint:
Did you install new usb driver for VU? I think, windows can't recognized your VU because no suitable driver found. My clue, reinstall existing usb driver and than try again step by step.

In your cases, you must flash your VU with online mode.
[General Questions and Answers] SteamyBunghole:
Yes, I did install the driver via the german LG site, but no success. Please explain what you mean by 'online mode' ?

PS. I'm not sure but I think I managed to persuade the store to replace my phone even though I have replaced the digitizer glass myself, but we'll see :)
[General Questions and Answers] wkobaint:
You must install LG usb driver first. And than, recovery your rom using LG mobil support tool.

Don't forget to connect your internet access (online mode).

No support from any developer for this VU P895

That is not possible, because the LG Mobile Support tool doesn't recognize my phone.

I get to the stage where LG Mobile Support Tool is analyzing my PC but soon pops up a prompt saying it cannot recognize/see my phone...

I guess the phone has become an expensive paperweight, and since the store hasn't replied to me I guess it will just dust on a shelf somewhere. Thanks for your help anyways :)

The device seems to be in APX mode, since plugging it into the PC prompts an error saying "Device drivers could not be installed" and the device's name is APX. Could this problem be solved somehow with NVFlash?
[General Questions and Answers] DomiakaSnakez:

Gesendet von meinem LG-P895 mit Tapatalk
[General Questions and Answers] wkobaint:
There is some conclusion in here. First, your computer operating system problem, 2nd, your usb cable, 3rd, try to setup manually your usb connection mode on your phone hidden menu.

For the 3rd option you can dial on your phone using 3845#*895#

And than choose module test - usb mode selection.

Hopefully this is will solve your problem...

Never give up dude.... :D
[General Questions and Answers] SteamyBunghole:
If I hadn't made it clear earlier, my device will not turn on and the light which should turn on while charging, doesn't.

So naturally, i can't dial anything :D

The only life it shows, is when connecting it to the PC my PC tries to install drivers but fails at it (it cannot find any). The PC recognizes my phone as "APX" .
[General Questions and Answers] wkobaint:
Oh ****...

Only two options:

1. Flash using nvflash

2. Sent to LG services center
[General Questions and Answers] SteamyBunghole:
And with that flashing I need help. I've managed to find the program but not the drivers nor a guide to help me out.

Are you familiar with the flashing process?
[General Questions and Answers] wkobaint:
Trully I never flash my VU using nvflash.

Maybe you can try using P990 toolkit (microsoft windows base). I was root my VU using this toolkit couple months ago. This tool have many option like nvflash, bootloader, etc.

You can search on this forum for "LG P990Toolkit". Happy hunting and fight bro!
[General Questions and Answers] SteamyBunghole:
I really don't afford the device to be repaired by LG themselves, i think it'll cost more than what I paid for the device..

I had no luck with the toolkit, NVFlash didn't recognize/find it after driver install, and the Android Debug Bridge did not find it.

I tried to reinstall the drivers but it didn't help.

I tried to connect it to another PC to see if it still was in APX mode, and sadly, it wasn't. Now it's just an "Unknown Device".

It seems to be obvious that the device is fully dead. Although I had hope for it I'm going to call this case closed :D

I'm going to drop a thanks for you, even though the device could not be revived :)

I asked a friend of mine who is working for Lg. He said it is very hard to get an update for VU. Because it didn't sell many as other models as Nexus 4 and G2. Less selling means no update,or late update.

rooting the p895 is easy and safe, but we need the unlock the bootloader to develop roms, kernels, recoveries. So here's my advice in the LG's official website there online support chat for every country. Asking for the unlocking the bootloader procedure is no harm :). I'am already asked to UK LG Support but they told me that i am contacting from another country so they are unable to help me. I've already compiled a CWM recovery for p895 but i could'nt even try it because of the bootloader.

Hello, I'm an owner of LG Intuition (VS950), which seems like a similar phone to the VU. How is the GPS working on the VU? On my phone (still running ICS) the GPS signal is lost whenever 4G is on and data is being downloaded. So, GPS is terrible!

I was wondering if any Vu owner who is rooted could post a GPS system file here, so I can try to see if swapping it will improve GPS.

The file is this: System/lib/hw/gps.default.so

Hello everyone, a few days ago I sent an email on the LG unlocking the bootloader and just today I received a call from them. I explained to them that the problem relates to the bootloader and I've already done the root, but of course without unlocking the bootloader you can not do much to improve the situation of the LG P895.

Software bricked p895

Yo all!

Got a dead Vu here. I recently loaded Clean Master, which I think installs an applet that stays running in the system to monitor the device and give easy access to Clean Master's functions. While changing the brightness level, the screen died and the hard buttons did not respond. A long push of the on-switch and the system booted, but at the end of the boot (after LG's musical phrase) the screen died again, buttons unresponsive, presumably because the Clean Master applet loaded. Plugging in a charge cable does not light the buttons to show it is charging.

I can boot into the spartan recovery system, but there is nothing that lets me start the device clean (without wiping everything I have on it). I have gambled on wiping the cache and the NV partition, but it did nothing.

A USB connection with a PC shows all the files I have on the phone, but that only gives me access to the sd-card.

Any suggestions? Can I do anything that doesn't require me wiping everything? It's taken me ages to get what I wanted on the phone. I guess I can offload it all, do a factory wipe and then replace all my books, data and music. But is there a simpler solution?

Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] dimdimdim:
a bit more info

hello, guys!

got a bit more info on LG P895 bootloader unlock from USA LG Customer Care Center. I did request them on the point and this is what they answered:

"Thank you so much for contacting LG Electronics USA!

We can understand how excited you must be about getting a new OS version in your phone.

Due to the availability of new models this phone might not be receiving android OS 4.4 or higher.

We understand you are concerned about unlocking the phone’s boot loader but Due to a corporate agreement with all USA carriers we manufacture phones for, we are not allowed, and we have no permissions to unlock the boot loader of any LG USA model. By there is no intent of the carriers to unlock the boot loader for their models.

I am so sorry to have to disappoint you in this matter and I truly wish I had a more favorable answer for you."

so there is a bit new view on the subject: LG says USA carriers block unlocking bootloader for the phone (VS950 in USA if I'm correct). this is all due to the Millennial Act, I think. all the rest market besides USA, I think, can't get bootloader unlockeв mainly for this exact reason.

and second point is that the carriers are those people users in USA must call in order to get bootloader for LG P895 unlocked.

so, please, call your carrier and demand unlocking bootloader or you will shift to another phone and carrier!!!

and, if the quantity of calls to the carriers will be huge enough, maybe, they will release 2012th device at least!

I think, the contracts under the devices were bought are finished already.
