That's weird as I'm on my 5th s3 since 6-21 and this has been normal behavior on every one regardless of rom. The S2 did the same stupid shiit. Its almost impossible to turn these on while plugged in and shut off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] riku-vomoto:
I usually use freeg3 from Clark, but I flash about every ROM when they are updated to try it out; I use TWRP to flash them all. My phone is infected with anthrax, but It was before and after it. I even tried flashing the stock .tar from odin :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xblackvalorx:
When the screen is black, simply hold the power button in until you see the Samsung logo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
I just confirmed again that my phone doesn't do that. With the phone on, I plugged into the charger. Power off, wait until the green battery icon appears. Hold power button, phone boots normally.

I'd guess somewhere along the way you acquired a wonky bootloader. You could probably try just replacing the bootloader, I know there is a way to do that but I'm not sure how. Probably someone else could quote the procedure off the top of their head. If not, I would guess a full odin to stock would fix it also.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaseBroyles:
My phone does this too. Sometimes it shows a charging battery, sometimes it vibrates, and sometimes I even see the Samsung logo, but it always refuses to turn on while it is plugged up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
My phone doesn't do this. It looks to be a hit or miss on if your phone will do it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
Or it could have to do with a particular flash that has corrupted the boot loader. People need to be clear what roms they are on, and if they have ever tried to go back to FULL stock through Odin to fix this. Until they have reflashed the Stock Bootloader, there is no way to know what's going on.

Hi, it appears that LG has released ICS for the P925G. Has anyone been able to update. How I found out is I did a phone recovery and at the end it asked to click on continue to update to ICS, unfortunately I keep hetting an error that it lost connection to the phone. Can anyone try and let me know if they were successfull ?
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Send me with a PM your IMEI and i will tell you if it has ICS or not
[LG Optimus 3D] Voyebanm:

Message is sent.
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Received and checked.

No ICS yet , only http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WEBSW/LGP925G/ARGSDB/V20c_00/V20C_00.kdz
[LG Optimus 3D] Voyebanm:
Then why is it giving me the option to upgrade ?
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Probably the update script is changed in order to provide ICS upgrade (when available) but the server right now has no ICS in its repository (unless they use a secondary procedure which i highly doubt).
[LG Optimus 3D] Voyebanm:
The things is it went all the way to the end preparing the installation and just when it is about to install it lost connection to the phone.

Anyway, Great Job on Porting ICS for all of us to use, I appreciate your time and talent and hope that will not let any inconsiderate ingrate make you give up on us all.

THANK YOU.
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Thank you for your nice words.
[LG Optimus 3D] xhanzyx:
hi! the same thing happened with me.. i lost my imei so i was doing a restore with lg mobile tool and at the end it came up for me too if i want to update to ics or not. so i choose yes downloaded a file but was same size as the gb file and when the process is finished its asks me again if i want to upgrade and boots gb up when i start the phone.. oh and btw i installed xbsall's ics port and now i cant make or recieve calls and lost my imei once when i tried to put a different bb.. is there a way to put a bb on ics without deleting the imei?

oh and im from canada with rogers owning a LG P925G with v20c bb and running win vista32bit..
[LG Optimus 3D] schubeir:
Hi,

Have you updated the LG PC SUITE to the ICS VERSION?

The earlier version did not support ICS. Please try after updating the LG PC SUITE version. Maybe we have something here!!

All the best, we are all waiting with bated breath!

schubeir
[LG Optimus 3D] xhanzyx:
i tried installing the new pc suite and it said my device is not supported.. i tried with the update tool again and at the end of the process before it would download anything it said my phone is up to date.. so i guess no official ics update for p925g yet..
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Have a look in the Ported ICS baseband thread if any Canadian user posted what baseband he is using.
[LG Optimus 3D] Voyebanm:
on my wife's phone, I use BB V20A which works well. I also tried V18A but preferred V20A. I am in Ottawa, Canada
[LG Optimus 3D] shroomun:
@voybanm what did you start with n her phone? I tried it with 18a and it did not work fr me. If you got the time for a fellow o-towner could you put the path you took.

I was able to do the upgrade! But lost my imei everytime, but I'm coming from v21e n promethius
[LG Optimus 3D] Voyebanm:
What I did is: I went back to V21E from XBSALL guide then Followed this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27912354&postcount=1 to restore my IMEI : You will need at least the 2 files LG IMEI.part1 and LG IMEI.part2

Follow

Restoring IMEI

1.	Connect phone by USB

2.	Activate USB debug mode

3.	Enter 3845#*920# in dialer if that doesn’t work try 3845#*925#

4.	Select Port Settings -> Select CP Image Download

5.	A new device should appear at let it install

6.	Open Tutty and select serial protocol. Click on open

7.	Type AT if response is not OK, change port number (it is possible that when typing you don’t see any letters)

8.	Type at%imei, it should display a dummy IMEI

9.	Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x where x,x,x... is your orginal IMEI number (found under the battery of your phone). It should response IMEI WRITE OK

10.	Reboot phone
[LG Optimus 3D] LyghtSpeed:
Do you need root at all for the imei recovery or the ICS update directly from lg?
[LG Optimus 3D] xhanzyx:
Hello everyone i sent a email to lg asking about the update this was the response i got yesterday:

"The original upgrade announcement was a general statement issued from headquarters. Each country was responsible for evaluating its product line to determine an upgrade schedule based on the individual market needs. As such, each smartphone is reviewed on a case-by-case, and country-by-country basis to plan and roll out OS upgrades.

Based on this evaluation and LG’s renewed focus on innovation, the Optimus LTE will receive the ICS upgrade in late summer. All LG smartphones released in 2012 come readily available with ICS OS, including the LG Optimus L7 and Optimus L5."

Well im kinda disappointed..
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
So according to them there are 196-200 countries in the whole world and only Korea offers the ICS upgrade.
[LG Optimus 3D] LyghtSpeed:
Why not all the thrill/ O3D owners go on Lgs facebook, and spam them saying

"ICS FOR P920/5"
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Already done plenty of times in the past..

Send from my NXE4+ P920.
[LG Optimus 3D] SedyBenoitPeace:
hahahah these stupid answers! It will be a nonsense release ICS in the late summer! When probably there will be Android 5(or a newer version than 4.2)! hahahha i don't care about official ICS! Thanks to you and other modder now we have a new phone! F**k LG!

I'm going to be gettting a 32GB Nexus 7 to replace my current 16GB, can I do a full backup with TWRP on my 16GB and then restore it on my 32GB?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesertHawk:
I think it would work. How ever it could fail on restoring /data. Its good to keep a backup if APKs and also in the SD card folder called Android/Data.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
I would like to see someone verify this. Some problems that have been reported seem to indicate the rom image knows how big it's device is.

If you restore a 16GB image to a 32GB device - and lose 16GB of storage - you will have proved it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robber95:
Hi friends, here's my problem:

I really enjoy "Standard" screen mode in our Notes.. until I want to see some photos in the Facebook app. They're totally oversaturated, that's so ugly. I have to change that mode to "Natural". I don't want to do this manually each time, so... is there a possibility to set a profile in Tasker (or any other app), which would change screen mode when launching/closing Facebook?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robber95:
no help?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarionCast:
There's currently no way to automate this with Tasker. Sorry. Why not just use Natural all the time? I used to dislike Natural when I first switched to it (after using Standard for the first two weeks I had my Note II) but it has eventually grown on me. It looks nice even if I'm just browsing the UI or playing games. Of course it looks very nice when looking at photos and watching videos.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Maybe there is a way to create a shortcut for it. But it isn't probably possible to do it automatically.

That's exactly what I'm actually doing - getting used to Natural in daily use ;) And that's almost done, but such an option in a future update of Tasker would be quite awesome ;) Thanks for answers.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Iyokuu:
I told myself if the iphone 5 wasn't jailbroken by this year I was switching back to Android, but the problem now is that I'm on Sprint. Which to my knowledge doesn't have too many viable options. ( I strongly dislike the S3 because of it's crappy screen being easily broken). I had the original Droid, but it was for Verizon and I'm pretty sure I can't put a Droid 4 or my own on Sprint now. I've read this Photon Q 4G is the equivalent or better than the Droid 4, but I want to be sure I'm making a good decision with this. I like the QWERTY keyboard for things like emulators being played easily and stuff, but if it's low end then I would be welcome to other suggestions.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] UnicronAlpha99:
Can't speak to the Droid 4 as I've never seen or used that phone. Not to open an iOS vs Android debate... but i'd sooner have Richard Simmons give me a Tabasco enema then own an iPhone. If you want an iPhone, get an iPhone.

The Q has a great keyboard, nice display, and SnapDragon s4 1.5ghz dual core with 1GB of RAM. There is no lag with switching apps and mine has really good battery life. It does not have a huge dev community like some other phones, but the stock rom has very little wrong with it, and you can get a good deal through BestBuy or Costco. I love the Android OS and admittedly am a huge fan boy. There is nothing wrong with ios if you don't care about the phone being stuck "as is."

Just my thoughts.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] dpwhitty11:
The Droid 4 is a glorified Droid 3 with LTE... It uses year and a half old hardware.

The Q uses the brand new Snapdragon S4 chip, while the Droid 4 is using an aged OMAP 4. The performance differences are night and day. I'd say it is a similar difference as going from Tegra 2 to Tegra 3, and the S4 > Tegra 3.

I don't really understand your comment about the GS3 having an easily broken screen, though. I had one for a good 3 months and wasn't too careful with it (dropped a good amount of times), but it never got more than a bump in the casing. It's a very capable phone.

As for iPhone/Photon Q debate. I'm major anti-Apple (have owned countless iPods in the past, but nothing more) and recommend almost everyone who comes to me to get an Android phone. I point older folk, less tech-savvy people, or hipsters to iPhones.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Iyokuu:
Thank you both for the reply, but I think you misunderstood my first post. (or I didn't word it right). Anyway, I already own the i5, but because it isn't jailbroken decided to go back to Android. The only thing I needed to know was about the Photon Q 4G. I love Android because I feel in complete control no matter what, but with an iphone I know I'm always limited. I don't hate or love one more than the other (yet), but I've been reading the Q runs on equal terms with the GS3 and such as well. With a low dev community that's a medium sized let down, but do they at least have custom kernels to change the look and theme of the phone like the old Droid had?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Coucher:
The dev support on the Photon Q right now is a bit of a letdown if you come from another platform that had/has very active development.

I came from the Epic and that's the exact case. Going from having lists of ROMs, kernels, tweaks, hacks, and mods to almost nothing does make you feel like you're "losing" something, but then as you dive in and begin using the Photon Q, you start to understand why.

Straight out of the box, at least for me, the experience is better. It's smoother, quicker, and just all around better than my Epic ever thought of being. Battery life is considerably better. My Epic was custom kernel'd, overclock/undervolt and had what I thought to be pretty good battery life, but I still carried a spare battery in my pocket for those heavy use days. Seeing that the Photon Q had a non-removable battery concerned me, but the battery life is so much better it hasn't been an issue, and we all know how it is when you have a new platform, you can hardly put it down so all the days have been heavy use days and I haven't once thought "dang, wish I had a charged battery in my pocket I could swap".

Your last statement is a little off... There are to my knowledge two custom kernels for the Photon Q, however a kernel has little to nothing to do with customizing the theme/look/feel. Just skimming the custom kernel threads it doesn't seem as though they have all the wrinkles ironed out on them yet, so I'm still on the stock kernel because honestly I just don't feel a real need to change.

There are a few simply UI mods out there right now, but nothing yet in the realm of a full on theme.

There's a few little things here and there about the Photon Q I personally don't like, but it's mainly just visual stuff like the turquoise percent bars and overscroll, full charge notification/popup, etc.

All in all, it's the best phone out of the box I've had. I'm usually VERY mod happy, but this one really is done almost 100% right stock.

If you got this phone, I highly doubt you'd regret it. Especially coming from an iPhone 5.

Does anyone have a copy of the AOSP dialer. I tried to extract and install it into Wicked manually but no luck. I want it because I adjusted my LCD density and the Samsung dialer is off centered. I know with the AOSP dialer for some reason it is less affected by the density change.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] g12345:
So since I have switched to this phone from my previous Galaxy Nexus, randomly during the night Slacker radio will start itself even though I had not used it that day. Ill take my phone when leaving for work and slacker keeps it awake 100% of the time. I will usually notice around lunch when I have unusual battery drain, and its the culprit with 100% awake time. I do not use / have enabled the caching functionality so I am not sure what is causing it to start itself. This has happened on both Jedi and Clean ROM, clean installs on both. This has never happened on my previous android phones. Anyone else encountered this / suggestions for a fix?

Thanks!

My phone was perfectly fine today, I used it all day without a problem. the battery was at 2 percent so I turned it off until I had access to a charger, about five minutes later. I plugged it in and no response; no vibration, no battery charging animation, pressing power button doesn't do anything, holding power button doesn't do anything. Tried taking the battery out while leaving the charger in for a minute or two, then reinserting the battery and immediately hitting power (per someone's instructions I found on an older thread) and same deal, no response. Tried letting the battery sit out for a few minutes and then put it back in, plugged the phone back in, no response. I have not recently dropped it or spilled anything on it or anything like that. I'm running a cm10 nightly from a couple weeks back. I've tried three different chargers in four different outlets, as well as trying the two that had usb connectors in different usb ports on my computer. Nothing. I have no idea what's going on, I was texting my friend and playing words with friends, that's about as intensive and complex my usage got today. I don't have any weird kernels or undervolting or overclocking or anything like that, just cm10 with a few core apps and one or two games. I'm really f****d if my phone won't work, I'm currently out of town for a few months so now I have no way to really contact anyone. I'm really hoping someone reads this and knows what the hell's going on, the threads I was able to find about people who had a problem similar to mine were resolved in booting into download mode and flashing a stock rom via odin..but of course I can't get into download mode, honestly it seems like it must be a usb problem because my computer doesn't recognize it and it won't charge anywhere. I would seriously appreciate anyone's help right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Don't write so much. No one will read it. Take a deep breath, take the battery out, take 3 deep breaths, put it in. Let it charge 15 minutes, it'll seem like a life time. Should work after that.

If you are trying to get into DL mode by just hitting the power button it won't happen. lol Try this. Pull battery, plug phone into usb cable, plug usb cable into computer, hold volume up AND down, reinsert battery. That will bring up DL mode. Report back if that works or not to further diagnose the problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hechoen:
If you can't get into DL mode via my instructions above it could be your battery or the USB port. If you can take the battery to a store and have it charged. Then boot up and plug it in. If you still get nothing your USB port is most likely shot. A good repair shop can swap them out fairly cheap.

Well thanks for the advice guys, I think it's probably my battery. I took it to the att store today, they hooked it up and told me that the phone has no water damage but the battery apparently does. I'm assuming there's nothing wrong with the usb port because before they did their diagnostic such and such they told me it was most likely either the port or the battery..so I can only assume the usb port's fine. Just ordered a new battery per their advice, figured I'd go with the extended 3850 mah with the larger cover included. Never bought an extended battery so I guess it can't hurt to try one out.

Has anyone dealt with out of warranty repairs for stuff that was your own fault? I think I broke my microphone due to water damage when applying my wet screen protector. I contacted Google and they said they will send me a replacement and I can send them my phone but it says if LG finds out that it has been through user fault I might incur charges up to the full price of the phone. I am not sure if they will add more fees because I accepted a replacement. Has anyone send in their broken phone and received a replacement? How much did you have to pay for your issue? Or should I just contact LG directly and send in my existing phone and have them send me it back?
