How can i root it?? the most safe and tested way......
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wntrequinx:
Perhaps someone out there has a suggestion for what i can do to fix my phone...

Ok, so I rooted my Dinc2 last spring, then that phone died, and i got a replacement Dinc2 and rooted it. It was working fine until it apparently heard that i got an iPhone for work, and now Google won't talk to me.

Or more specifically, i can't get my phone to connect to Google servers. I can't add a new Google account, sync my e-mail, connect to YouTube, or pretty much ANYTHING involving Google, at this point.

In searching for a solution I've seen various instructions from "delete/clear data/cache for Gmail' (now it just says "waiting for sync"), to 'do a factory reset' (um... not if i can help it)...

One suggestion i saw involved removing the Gmail account and re-adding it... unfortunately, i can't add a different one, so therefore i can't remove the one that's already been added.

I've also seen suggestions to edit your hosts file - and I am running the Magnolia 2.1 ROM, so it has an ad-blocking hosts file (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=509997) . I figure that could be the issue, however i can't change it.

You see, after Gmail started acting stupid, i was trying to get into Google Play to re-load/update/something the app, but Google Play also wouldn't connect, so i attempted to refresh that by un-installing the updates (thinking it would auto-upgrade back to the google play, but with a fresh install)... so now i have Market, but it won't connect to the google servers.

What does that have to do with the hosts file? i dont' happen to have a terminal app on my phone, and now i can't install other apps, because, well, Google.

I suppose i can check out the Amazon appstore for a terminal app, but at this point, i'm over my head as far as deciding a good course of action from here, and was hoping someone would give me some advice (or a solution, other than re-installing my nandroid backup that's a few weeks old...) *twitch*
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Try relaxing gapps, then clear cache and dalvik... If that doesn't work, wipe data completely.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wntrequinx:
Hmm...

Ok, so gapps is the google apps package -- er.. how exactly does one relax it? i don't really know what i'm looking for, or what i need to do once i find it... i tried clearing the cache and dalvik, without touching the Gapps, however no luck.

Sorry i'm such a n00b... :confused:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
He meant reflashing. What rom are you running?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] prototype7:
Haha, sorry, reflash. Latest swiftkey beta isn't the best :p

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

OP says magnolia 2.1
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
Yes it does...totally missed it. And I think a gapps reflash is the most likely fix too, but what do I know?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Boon Booni:
Have you tried a different rom?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] casseer15:
Make sure background data and always on data is turned on in you're settings
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wntrequinx:
Re-recovered the whole thing...

Thanks everyone... reflashing makes more sense... :silly:

No i haven't tried a different rom, this one worked fine for 8 months - then i had to move it onto a new phone - which (once i got the tacoroot to actually work) was also working for two weeks even after i swapped phones, and did a recovery restore of the whole thing...

then it stopped working for some reason.

So, i gave up last night and did a recovery restore - but just a cache wipe/davlik wipe and restore didn't work -- so this morning I did a factory reset and then the recovery restore and it seems to be working again... hopefully it will keep working...

Now all i need is to restore my sms that i backed up before trying the restores...

I'll be back if it stops working again...

Er... i thought it was working... at least now Gmail and Play don't instantly crash when i try to open them...

but after 5 minutes, gmail still hasn't gotten any new mail....i'll try removing the account and re-adding it... *sigh*... this is how it all started the first time it broke...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wntrequinx:
Yeah, I did that much --

The issue is that the phone won't talk to Google... as in, Google play can't connect, adding a new Google account to the phone can't "establish a reliable connection", manually syncing gmail does nothing...

and, apparently, flashing GApps didn't help...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
You did a clean flash, or restored a backup?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wntrequinx:
Arg...

Sorry for misunderstanding you on the reflash!

In any case, here is where i am - tried recovering the ROM + Apps (using a recovery backup) to what used to work the beginning of Jan... didn't help - in fact gmail and play crashed when i tried to open them.

Did a factory wipe and recovered again -- this time they open, but they still do not connect...

Flashed the GApps... still no connection (but also no crashing - so that's something)...

Where i am -

Internet works (can get to www.google.com and searches work)

Google search bar works

Gmail just sits there

Google Play tells me connection timed out (regardless of how many times i "retry")

Google maps works fine

Accounts & Sync - "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"

Add New Account - Google - (sign in to existing...) hangs for a good LONG while then says "Could not establish a reliable data connection to the server." (and in smaller print) "This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Costumer Care"

:eek: x 1000

Other errors: Activity Google sign-in (in application Google Services Framework) is not responding (force close/wait)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wntrequinx:
Both - i did a restored backup after a factory reset (which got it so i could open the google applications that had previously been crashing), then i downloaded gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip and installed it... which didn't help.

see my response to Prototype7 as to where i am at the moment as far as errors...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
You're on a different rom than me, but try this:

Go to Manage Apps, find google services framework, clear data.

then go to google play store (or market), clear data.

Reboot.

If that doesn't work, I really don't know what to tell you.

It doesn't sound like you have done: factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system: flash rom and gapps and start from scratch setting up your rom. Only restore the minimum from titanium, especially until you have figured out if it is running stable.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wntrequinx:
thanks...

The Manage Applications / clear google crap broke it the last go round -- (well, clearing data didn't, but reverting to market from play screwed it up)... so i think my only hope is start from clean rom and don't do any Titanium restores of any Google-made apps... especially since all my titanium backups are from after the issue presented...

I guess this means i can pick whatever ROM i want now... since i have to start from scratch anyway... maybe i'll finally go to an ICS one...

*sigh*
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Redsmurf:
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is actually listed by Mozilla as a supported device for Firefox OS....

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Firefox_OS_build_prerequisites

... with one important note:

Does this mean our SGH-T989 will not be compatible? Has anyone actually tried Firefox OS with our model?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RXDriv3r:
If someone tried it, there would probably be a thread on it somewhere. About it working on our devices, just take a step back and think, can we run i9000 roms? Our phones and the i9000 are pretty different and I doubt Mozilla would go out of their way to get a t989 and do the work themselves, since our phone isnt International and only sold in a handful or markets. Can it be made to work on our phones? Possibly, with a knowledgeable Dev doing the work, and even then who knows.

The OS as a whole seems to be still in a "beta" form so its not ready yet for the consumer so I doubt anyone would do all the work to port it over to have a half assed OS on their phones, but possibly with time, when the OS is good to go for the market someone will do the leg work to port it over to our phones, but I probably wouldnt hold my breath.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] don728871:
Still to this day android is still a beta imo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
Is

not clear enough? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RXDriv3r:
You could say that. I personally think it was beta back in the Gingerbread days, and ICS was a huge improvement and JB is the topping to the ice cream sandwich lol, imo JB is like rc, its a finished product, it can only get better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icenight89:
Then sooo were iOS 1,2 and 3 lol. You guys just say that because even in the 2.x days android was faaaaar lagging behind iOS in both the software AND hardware requirements. Jellybean was the first rendition to properly render GUI elements using the GPU (ICS started it, wasn't complete though) hence the notorious "android lag.". IOS was smooth from the start, powervmr :).

That being said, I personally dislike Apple products, go figure
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ooshi:
don728871 said that Android is still a Beta. In a sense, that is true. It's a work in progress that will probably not end. Ever. In that sense, it is still a beta as it also takes in data and user submitted reviews about their issues, likes, dislikes and the such to make it better and better and better.

Now, for Firefox OS, I'd consider it more of a pre-release alpha. They've got the concept down, they've got a working-ish OS for the most part but yes, like you said, it's a half assed ish OS for the most part and probably, nobody would use this as their daily driver until a stable beta (after extensive testing, updates and stuff) is released.

So for now, nothing to expect here. Let's move along shall we?

Wait a sec, let's look at iOS.

Now, yeah, people say it's lag free. True-ish for the most part...

but let's look at it from another perspective. Has iOS 6 changed in any way?

Yeah, I guess in optimization and whatnot but come on, what OS has changed so dramatically?

Evolved in such a way that it's already awesome but it just keeps getting better and better?

That, as we all know, is android. From Cupcake, we've come a long way to Jelly Bean.

That was 4 years ago. Took a while...

Now knowing how other OS's evolved,

it is now safe to assume that Firefox OS isn't going anywhere far for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] secretdude0:
Excellent point! Android Evolution has been gradual and drastic ... but still, when it did pick up, it was different. I think if Firefox OS can include a captivating element right from the start, it can make an impact. However, I don't see it being too radically remarkable.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Z_Black:
I am on my mobile, and haven't seen relevant threads as of yet. I'm sure they exist and if so, a link to them would suffice.

I currently am on AT&T using a Galaxy Note. I am going to be dropping my contract soon and switching to Ting for service. I am assuming this is the best Optimus place since ting runs on the sprint network.

The 3 phones I'm considering are the Note II, S3 and the Optimus G. I've heard great reviews about the Optimus and have never owned an LG phone which peaks my interest.

Do any of you have thoughts among those 3 choices? I've come to this place to more or less persuade me this direction and I figured no better place! But honest feedback would be appreciated.

I have no problems rooting and romming and enjoy doing so. General usage is primarily data and camera use of course. Talk and text is minimal. Not much gaming is done, but more productivity type stuff between my day job, photography business and schooling. I do enjoy high end hardware which is why this is on the list.

Any feedback or being pointed in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TheMrVIP:
Get the optimusg!

I actually owned the S3 prior to owning the Optimus G and i can tell you Im pleased. Battery life right about the same if not better than my S3. Photo quality is good and the quad core processor really makes a difference in performance. Im happy with the Optimus G ad you will be too im sure.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Xiutehcuhtli:
I like the "wow factor" of the phone, if you can call it that. Everybody KNOWS the S3 and the Note II, so as a result I end up with a lot of people asking me what phone I have. It certainly doesn't hurt that the phone build looks and feels more premium than any Samsung device I have ever held. The performance is easily the best of any phone I personally have owned and LG is promising to support the phone. Samsung, IMO, does not do this well enough. It's fast, sexy and there is a reason that it was chosen as the basis for the Nexus 4.

And let's be real honest here, being able to call your phone The OG tops anything any other phone can offer.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] shook187:
I've owned both the GS3 and the Note 2 (look at my history) and I have to say this phone simply rocks over the two. The screen quality and the build quality simply blows alway anything currently available.

Im not sure if you're familiar with sprint phones but the only phone that comes close to the LG OG is the EVO lte. But even then the LG is better simply because of its processor and 2GB of rams.

Get this phone (especially if you have LTE in your area) it won't disappoint you.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] kc_exactly:
I would wait a few months.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Z_Black:
Thanks for the comments so far everyone! I would wait, but I'm making the jump next month and need a device since I can't bring my at&t note over. I considered buying a cheaper phone to tide me over for a bit to see what else comes out and when, but I don't think I am patient enough to do that lol. So I figured I'd just buy a pretty recent phone with good hardware. I'm usually about 1 year behind the curve for brand new devices so the Optimus G fits right in line with my usual habits.

I haven't been on the Sprint network as of yet. I've been with at&t for a long time and through their cellular one, cingular and back to att type days. There is definitely not any LTE in my area from any provider. (Central Oregon Coast) but the basic coverage for 3g and such is pretty even across the carriers from my asking around of people who use them. Ting uses the sprint infrastructure and allows you to bring sprint devices over.

Am I mistaken in thinking the sprint OG does not have a microsd slot? I'll be picking up the 32gig version regardless and I don't use to much storage so that's not a deal breaker, but good to have in mind.

Sounds like this may jump to the top of my list at this point. Still have 3 weeks or so to decide.

Thanks everyone so far! If there's any other thoughts or quirks or comments, keep 'em coming if you want. Appreciate it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
You won't regret it I promise. LGOG is the way to go.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] javskies:
good choice! the lgog unfortunately doesnt not have an sdcard slot unfortunately. as for the coverage, be careful. there has been discussion that this phone has worse signal than some of the other recent phones such as the galaxies. so just keep in mind that coverage may not be as good as others in your area.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] junglizste:
I'm also considering the Optimus G. I have an S4 now. But I'm tired of being raped by AT&T, so I'm headed over to TMobile for the $30 plan, as I almost never use talk minutes.

I know I could take the S4 over to Tmobile, but I'm also tired of worrying about a $500 breakable non-waterproof device in my pants.

I can grab an Optimus from Amazon for $235, sell my i337 for about $400, pay my early termination fee and come out pretty much even while saving $70 a month... and having unlimited data.

Any thing I should consider before making this jump?

*edit

looks like LTE might be an issue.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] spiral6:
LTE works fine for me, but I'm in a big city (Houston, TX), and I find the LGOG one of the more flexible phones, with its easy rooting and unlocking (FreeGee), and awesome sharp camera. Battery life is good... needs about one charge a day for me. For the Sprint version, it has 32 GB of internal, but no external. AT&T version, 16 GB of external, but expandable to 32 GB.

The amount of community development is amazing, and this phone can run some of the major roms with little or no problem, like Cyanogenmod and MIUI. You can even convert the phone to a Nexus 4, as it was based off this phone and manufactured by LG as well.

Forgot to add that the camera is 13 MP on Sprint model, unsure about AT&T model.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisnamestoolong:
Okay, I am either losing my mind, or there is something seriously wrong with the Youtube Android app. I have a Nexus 10 running CM 10.1 (have also run PA and stock) as well as a Galaxy S3 running Beans (previously CM10). On both of these devices, Youtube can't seem to reliably play for more than 4 minutes at a time. Furthermore, any time I try to seek forward in a video, the player crashes. Finally, every time I click a Youtube link from another application, the video will not load; I have to go to a different video and go back to the one I was trying to watch. Is everyone having these problems? Is there anything I can do to help alleviate these issues? I was planning on using my Nexus 10 to watch online lectures on Youtube, but it will be of little use for that if it can't play more than 4 minutes of video and I am unable to seek to my previous location!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevDoesStuff:
