[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leviwhite9:
We all know some of us have it, and it's annoying at the most. Right now, my N10 has it pretty bad. I can still return it to Walmart but that's a pain. I was wondering if anyone has tried to fix it, or has? I haven't opened up a Nexus 10, but I'm sure I can.

HI guys,

Yesterday I flashed the .85 baseband to my Ray with Flashtool 0.9.9.0. Everything worked fine.

But I experienced some FM radio issue (I don't hear the radio, it worked before flashing (with .77 baseband)), so I would like to flash back to .83 or to .77 baseband.

If I try to flash the .83v2 baseband with Flashtool 0.9.9.0, the app will crash. (And the OS give me the Error sending to Apple window).

If I try to flash the .83v2 with Flashtool (Version 0.9.10.0 built on 2013-01-07 08:07:36) (I downloaded it today from the latest osx link from uploaded.to), the app will not crach, only show some "header error", and not flash the device.

If I try to flash the .77 baseband with the latest app (what I mentioned above), the app will crach again.

At every attempt I unchecked the wipe options, and I used only the baseband flashing (so I checked the "Exclude FOTA" and others, except the "Exclude baseband").

Is there anybody who has experienced this issue?

(OSX 10.7.5 with Java 1.6.0_37 64 bit)

Thanks!

I am switching from a nexus to an S3. my wife has an s3 and I can't stand touchwiz. I know there are some roms built to be similar to the stock jb on my nexus, but is there any way to get the official ota stock/vanilla jelly bean on my s3? Basically I want to know if I can make my s3 like my nexus, without having to worry about using a possibly unstable launcher or rom? Thanks ahead of time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue6IX:
stock ota jellybean is touchwiz on the s3. Samsung doesn't offer anything else.

If you want aosp (vanilla android without carrier BS) it's nexus or nothing.

The only way to get vanilla android on anything else is to build it yourself or hope someone else has.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] UnrealZoidberg:
If you want a vanilla android experience on your GS3 on the stock rom you could try a different launcher, such as Apex or Nova Launcher, as they are closer to the stock Jelly Bean launcher than the Touchwiz launcher. If you are comfortable with rooting you could install Cyanogenmod, which is AOSP Jelly Bean with a few useful tweaks. There is a stable version of Cyanogenmod 10, which is android 4.1.2 that you could try, or there are nightly builds of Cyanogenmod 10.1, which are based off of the newer android 4.2, but are not entirely stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TXI Kaze:
There's a stock AOSP ROM in the Original Development section. Has some issues but Joelz is getting everything smoothed out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingrichards:
okay everybody here's the deal I do not want to go back to using iPhone however I work with a client that use iPhone and specifically I message and client is in Switzerland so the I messages free sending from my at&t phone is there any app on Android that will be able to send out text internationally like Imessage which is free?

also without the other party having to install any application the client is old guy and NOT willing download any app to receive

...trust me I tried lol

again I do not want to go back to iPhone please help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] feerlessleadr:
I'm assuming you just want text messages and no pictures, but you can give google voice a try. You will have to give your client a new phone #, but at least all of your messages will be free.

I'm not 100% sure that texting an international # is free, so you may want to double check that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingrichards:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ImYourMacDaddy:
Ummmmm...this should be an obvious answer, but here it goes anyways.

Google doesn't support or offer iMessage. So either your client downloads an app or adds a service which will work with your Android phone, or you go back to the iPhone. Easy as that.

I'm shocked nobody has said Google+ messenger. The Google+ application is available on iPhone and the messenger app that comes with it is very much like iMessage. You can even do hangouts which are the Google Equivalent of Facetime. This is absolutely your best option as far as I'm concerned.

I totally missed the part in the OP that specified that he wouldn't install an app.. Disregard this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
If the client is unwilling to add an app to speak to you then his business must not be worth the trouble. Either that or you can pony up for international messaging charges and write Em off come tax time.

Hi,

I bricked my phone and I can only boot into download mode. I need a rom which I can flash using odin. Is there a way to use odin to install roms in zip format or do I need a rom in .tar or .md5? If so, could you give me a link for a rom in md5/tar format.?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Jb leak here.

Don't worry, you're not bricked yet.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slepax:
Thanks, but just to make sure I understand this right (I have the same problem) .. this will put the stock ROM on my phone, then I will have to root again, and then use CWM to put a custom ROM?

Is there a rooted ROM that can be flashed using Odin? I'm not too pick on JB or not, it will be replaced anyway.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
No need to flash stock rom.

Just flash Siyah kernel (.tar) via ODIN (This will give you custom recovery) then wipe data and flash custom rom of your choice. It will come pre-rooted and with its own custom kernel which you can then replace with Siyah again or other kernel of your choice.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
when u have problem like this the best way is to flash a 'Stock ICS v4.0.3' firmware on ur phone using 'ODIN' to have a clean flash and booting of ur phone:)

then u can simply flash the tar version of 'Siyah kernel v4.1.5/5.0.1' again from 'Odin' in dwnld mode to automatically root ur phone and install latest CWM recovery, which can be used to install the custom rom of ur choice:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
He has no need to do that. As I said above all he have to do (If they want custom rom) is flash kernel like Siyah via download mode then flash custom rom in recovery. No need to flash stock unless thats the rom you want.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
he wanted to flash via odin, let him do that.

Or not :)

I don't know what to put here...any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
And that is exactly what has been advised. What's your point?

The user only has access to download mode so is assuming he has to use download to flash rom. It sounds like he isnt aware that he can easily restore his recovery via flashing a kernel. It also sounds like the user wants to use a custom rom otherwise he would already know that he can flash stock via download.

This is why its been advised to flash kernel via download instead of rom. That way once he has his recovery back he can simply reboot into cwm and carry on where/how he wishes like for example flashing his normal/preferred rom via zip like usual.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Read this thread again and see if he can actually perform a kernel flash just to get to cmw so he can go flash a stock rom.

Here's the answer: yes he could.

now...wouldn't it be better if he flashes a stock rom, take a long breath as he realizes he's not bricked (read the topic) and then flas a stock rom when he's sure about giving it another try?

read beyond the words kid, beyond the words :)

Hey guys figured maybe someone was having this issue! I recently tried this to patch the issue. I went into apps and cleared the cache of the youtube app and cleared the data as well. To my suprise youtube loaded faster and didn't stutter and buffer at all! So my question is does that work for you guys? And could this just be a caching issue? Please try this and see if it makes a difference. Im have 25mb download usually and about 5 up and shouldnt notice any bufferong issues in theory, so yea please try and keep me posted ... thank you hope this is an easy fix!!

I noticed that newest games lag a bit on my gnex. For example, Death Dome is a great game and it doesnt lag in gameplay, but it is terrible in menu and while loading. It gets 2-3 seconds lag. Other game that lags in Vice city which should be a joke for gpu. Even on medium settings i get frame skips and 20 FPS. Dragon Slayer worked pretty well, actually. Got only few frame skips on it. and Most Wanted also works perfectly. Is it normal? I'm running Xylon rom with Purity kernel. Other roms dont work well with my phone

[Motorola Droid RAZR] eddieb1983:
I've been thinking about updating manually to JB because I want to experience project butter and the other things that cone with it. My question is, is it worth it to side load it before the ota is released again? Does anyone know if we'll be able to get the new jb update if its different?

I use my Bluetooth, wifi, and gps a lot so I'll need them to be reliable as they are now. I don't need root at this time and I am not currently rooted.

Any thoughts? Is it faster and smoother?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jhall8:
I loaded 4.1.2 manually on Dec 25. It's made my RAZR much faster and smoother. I've used Google Now quite a bit. If this is not the final version of 4.1.2, we will not be able to install the official OTA unless Motorola provides a patch.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eddieb1983:
But I thought this was the same build that some users got from Motorola ota. They won't be able to get the final build either? Surely they'd release a build that would also work for them too?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jhall8:
It was an OTA, but released by Moto in error. It may not be the final build of Jelly Bean.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eddieb1983:
My question is though, and nobody may know this, but if they is a problem with the builds from December, will the next update install on the ones who got it early?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jhall8:
The official OTA will install only over the 211 build of ICS. That is why a patch would be needed for those on a non-final build of JB.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eddieb1983:
Ok. Well with that being said, i probably should just wait for the official final build then.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jhall8:
That's a good plan, since the OTA will be out this quarter.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bikercr:
As for myself, I've got 7 months left on contract. By upgrading via side loading last month, I've preserved possibly half of phone's remaining life (in my possession) for a MUCH improved operating system. If there's any defect in the leaked Jelly Bean, I haven't found it yet. My recommendation is to go for it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Terri M:
Right now I've frozen the updater file using Titanium Backup. I received the OTA on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 yesterday and all I can say at this point is I don't like it at all! My Dolphin Browser crashed on me and I cannot stand the new Google search. If there was a way to undo the update on my tablet, I would do so in a heart beat!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] just lou:
I'm the opposite. There's no way I'll ever go back to ICS. I love JB. FWIW, I have 3 devices running either 4.1 or 4.2, and Dolphin works fine on all of them.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jemmy Ducks:
JB's UI animations and transitions among applications are noticeably smoother most of the time. Although others might find it useful, Google Now seems a bit gimmicky to me, although not as annoying as Siri. Unless you root, you will find that using your phone as a free WiFi hot spot is, for now, lost, until utilities like FoxFi catch up to JB. Not much else is new. That said, I would install JB again (rooted). It's not a huge improvement, but it is an improvement.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kayslay21:
Did anyone see on our AT&T variant forum that they found a way to flash all Nexus 4 partitions, (bootloader, recovery, kernel, and system) to convert your LGOG to a Nexus 4!!! I am so waiting for them to try this out on our device so I can do it and flash N4 ROMs from then on
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
Just saw that thread. Lol, there's a team working on it for us too but that is insanity at its finest. Looking forward to that in the future!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kayslay21:
I cannot wait, the N4 has a bunch of roms, mods and everything else I want to get my hands on lol this really makes me happy that I got this phone
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Veritass:

[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:

[Sprint LG Optimus G] turtle3:
Finally.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Someone in that thread said all we would have to do is change the partitions to Sprint and it should work. Which seems weird, but i guess it could work. But their device is the GSM and ours isn't...? So who knows. But I have a feeling xboxfanj will have something for us soon.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] GuestX0011:
Well unless the SOC's are similar or the drivers are multipurpose and it already has the CDMA drivers built in.. which I highly doubt we could use it but..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kayslay21:
Yea I was very tempted to try something lol but I'll hold off, I don't think everybody understands how big this is tho, this opens up the door to so much more with this phone, ROMs, MODs, newer versions of android, etc... This means we'll have the best nexus phone now :p
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
I did it before rohan on the sprint variant and it is mostly working, but I don't plan to release it. Flashing all n4 partitions is not a great idea and could brick your phone. Cm is coming. Just waiting on the Korean jb source.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Not even if we sign releases? Lol. I knew you've been awfully quiet for a reason.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jblazea50:
Unless everything works like update PRL/Profile, LTE, reading all 32gb internal sdcard, etc., I wouldn't recommend going the N4 route.

Better to just wait for AOSP based roms once JB source is released.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Sign me up. Haha.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
I trust my man xboxfanj, he always kept my epic in better than new condition with his ROMs. If he says not a good idea, I will take his word no matter how depressed I become.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
As soon as the Korean jb sources are out, cm10-10.1 will be fairly easy. I highly recommend waiting until then. It should be very soon.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kayslay21:
Yea I feel the same, even tho I would rather turn my phone to a nexus 4, if he says its not a good idea then I'll take his word also. That definitely caused some major excitement in the community tho, I couldnt stop looking at xda to see if we got a thread to do that with our phones lol
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Sorry to disappoint you guys, but I would feel guilty releasing this when I know that the repartition could kill your phone. I know the phone has been out and you guys have had to wait awhile, but you've waited this long, why screw your phone up when legitimate cm is close. With korean 3.4 kernel source, we will be able to have cm done fairly quickly. It's not up yet but will be soon. Also, I have some exciting stuff planned for after cm (sense, miui, and whatever else you guys want).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
Hey, xbox, with the source would it be easy to port the Korean version of 4.1 too? I am not knocking CM. I just don't see what you gain.

I only ask because it might be a few months before we get updated from Sprint.

Thanks
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
I am a little disappointed, but that's ok. If I had bought the Nexus 4 I probably would have rooted it and flashed a bunch of different ROMs anyway, so ultimately I'm exactly where I would be.

That said, I am a HUGE fan of CM ROMs and can't wait to see what this can do with anything the team produces.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
Three more things, why didn't they flash the 16 gig version for At&t? Is it hard to change it to 32 gig for us? And as I have been around for a bit now. Why not go this route and flash nexus 4 firmware? Yea, it might be a daunting process for a few. But, every cm Rom I have had the prl and profile had to be updated separately and then you had to flash back so that is nothing new(except galaxy nexus on Sprint). We would also be skipping 4.1 to 4.2 which we might not see otherwise until May or June(wow, it rhymes).

We already have the source from Sprint for our phone. We have the modems. We have the Mako source. CDMA will work. LTE shouldn't be that hard. Plus, no more waiting for sources. Well, that is my two very cents.

And another thing....if we have the 4.2 source from Google and the 4.1 source from LG(soon) could we update ourselves to 4.2 with LG software that is built into the firmware?

5 bucks the the dev who can answer that stuff. Thanks

[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Unfortunately, we can't make it 32gb since tots can't be unpacked and repacked yet so we can't just change partition map.

2. Mako kernel works on the Canadian variants but not USA, and it won't even log so we don't know what to change.

3. No we can't update lg software to 4.2 without rom source which only aosp provides.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] tomkins:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldnt doing the nexus 4 transformation thing allow for quick updates beyond just 4.2, just as quick as updates for the nexus 4. I understand that the korean jb source will drop soon, but when the next version of android comes out, wont we be stuck in a similar position without any way of updating the phone?

I know we have great devs who work very hard, Im just trying to figure out how long this phone will last with strong developement when there are impossible hurdles that no devs could overcome each time a new version of android comes out.

I guess my question is, i notice that phones similar to the galaxy nexus and nexus s get cm updates at the same time those nexuses do, will it eventually be the same for the lgog or will we always be stuck behind waiting for kernel source from LG?

Thanks to anyone who can answer this rambling question thing;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] genaro12543:
Korean kernel will allow going past 4.1.1 well worry about 5.0 when it gets here...
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kMogs17:
Yeah the thing is that we have no source for the kernel at all right now. Once we have it we will be able to update it far quicker without needing anything from lg. once we get the initial source updates are far easier to accomplish
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
We have source.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MTsol:
I really want to do this conversation but I can't find anywhere to confirm that I'll actually be able to use Sprint service like calls, data, etc. I am in no way a noob to flashing or anything like that so if anyone could guide me in the right direction in a pm I'd appreciate it.

Also I do work for Sprint so I am in no way worried about a bricked device.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jblazea50:
Wow, AT&T devs figured out how to get the N4 conversion to read 16gb internal space from the 8gb. They pretty much have everything working including LTE, external SD, internal SD, NFC.

I would love to convert mine if it was possible to have gps, data, calls, lte, 32gb internal card, etc. I wouldn't think twice about the conversion.

Regretting getting this phone since LG is taking so long to update software and source so devs can get AOSP.
