[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadproducer:
soraxd,

Workaround...works pretty much flawless on my S3 with ICS.

Install Widget Locker. You mentioned that it was not as fast as your stock lock screen. On my old retired HD2 and my 6 month old S3, W.L. is actually faster than stock. The key thing is that you have the settings maximized...which include disabling the stock lockscreen from withing ICS/JB settings. (I can give you more info if it runs slow for you) I just set my wife's new S3 with the same configuration and it works perfect. I can unlock and relock W.L. pretty darn quickly...no delays at all.

Then in W.L., I use a simple Iphone style unlock to slide and have that at the bottom of my W.L. screen so my thumb can easily reach. I have many widgets on the screen. (agenda/last caller/clock etc) Then I use a free app named Invisible Lock Widget. You drop this widget into W.L., and you LAYER IT OVER all other widgets except the slide to unlock. (This is one of W.L.'s coolest features)

First off, W.L. should be set for 10secs time out...so less chance of your leg re-triggering it in the first place. 2nd thing, when your leg triggers the screen because it has turned on due to a notification or what-have-you, then Invisible Lock Widget actually re-locks the screen. It's that simple. Sometimes I press the menu button to turn my screen on to look at the time, and 2secs later I click the screen and it quickly and easily turns off thanks to I.L.W. Once you get used to it, you will find it is very convenient and efficient. Like I said, it's a work around and also has other benefits.

Widget locker can be set to suppress the "power button long press menu" if it gets triggered in your pocket. It cannot suppress the "low battery" warning popups that show up above W.L. but the dev might be adding that. (I requested it) I have a Tasker workaround for that. If your running Tasker, I will share that with you. It works like a charm. With all these little workarounds, I no longer do the "Pocket Launch thing".

Good afternoon.

could you tell me where I can find a rom that fully supports the Nexus SlimPort 4? I test too but cyanogen bug with SlimPort .... thank you
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alessa:
no solution?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kishke:
I just got my slimport adapter today before going to uni, I plugged my phone to it and to my TV and at quick 1 minute glimps everything was working great.

I'm using rootboox.

So through his works rootbox vanilla?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kishke:
Yes

How does Slimport work properly with cyanogen mod?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukrkoz:
So I finally have JB installed as of yesterday.

Of course, during flashing, I chose wrong setting, and now when phone starts, it does not have dropping down jelly beans, and I kind of like it.

How do I get back into those settings, to have them raining down? I am referring to the very initial settings that one has to complete, BEFORE JB ROM will flash.

Start up is very boring now. And I turn my phone off every night.

Also, under OTA update it now says "invalid ROM" and "error fetching update info. Invalid ROM (jellybean....) & device. Is this of any problem to happen any time soon, or I need to fix it somehow?

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
To change options just boot into recovery, wipe both caches and re flash this time choose the options you want. Also I believe the updater is messed up right now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukrkoz:
Oyts.. That's a lot of work for start up screen. I'll let it be as is, it's not that important. Resetting all accounts and such - not worth it. Thanks, man, you've been saver for 2 days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
The other option for boot animation is to just pull the file from the zip and place it in /system/media
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukrkoz:
Ahhh.. I can try that. Reckon, I can even do it via PC. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukrkoz:
Hmmm... Now that I haver calendar back - I really want to get that beans drop. Backed up phone, just in case. I tried to open JB Zip though, on pc and on phone, and it won't. How do I get to the boot animation? Use 7zip? I just restarted phone, and boot screen sucks. But I really do not want to go through entire re-setting process.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukrkoz:
Ok, got the file opened on PC. Found boot animation. Have phone hooked up and opened. Nope, can't find system/media folder neither on "phone" nor on "sd card".

Guess, will have to come back in few hrs and re-set phone. sucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
You cant access tthe root of your phone like that. Put it on your sd card then on your phone using root explorer put it in /system/media or from your computer you could adb push it there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukrkoz:
Simply re-flashed with JB. I turned guidance video, so was a bit smarter in choices this time. Those beans are really nice. My last concern is - apparently, JB ROM did something to the sound on the phone. It sucks now. I'll fool with Apollo, maybe it'll help some.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] alarmo:
Beans Town in the next Jellybean update can you fix the (bluetooth volume too low problem with the Galaxy Note 2), I have the Perseus Kernel and the audio settings in STweaks work perfect for the audio but does nothing for the Bluetooth volume.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukrkoz:
Well, though it's hijacking a thread, but does JB have issue with BT volume? As I just ordered Belkin BT adapter for my Camry, but am returning it, as it sucked bad with JellyBeaned phone. I mean - yes, it was very dull and low and pretty much left channel only. I am returning adapter, but what a surprise - maybe it's not its fault?

Come to think about it, I rented Camry with BT integration 2 weeks ago, and same phone rocked with it. The difference was though, I was on stock phone then.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danibri82:
Bluetooth works fine in my 2013 Mustang GT. Even with the top down it's loud and clear enough. It does have integrated Bluetooth.

Sent from my Galaxy Note II
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukrkoz:
So, in my case, must have been that Belkin adapter. Danibri, you are on JB ROM, right? As concern is not with phone, but with how BT operates with JB ROM phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danibri82:
Yes, running JB, Build 11. I don't do anything with the eq after tweaking with the S- Tweaks. Now that I think about it, I have yet to connect my phone to the car via USB. It's always been over Bluetooth. I mostly have been using Pandora, Spotify, and Google Music with it. Also have used the Google Nav with no issues. Reminds me, I really wish Google Music and Spotify were supported apps in Ford Sync so I'd have better controls and interplay.

Sent from my Galaxy Note II
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukrkoz:
Thank you. I am running TuneIn radio and am very happy with it. My both cars don't have BT integration. I tried Belkin adapter to full failure.

S tweaks, hah? I'll look into it. Planning on buying new head unit with integrated BT in a few, maybe that'll fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danibri82:
next time I'm in the car, I'll try tune-in and see how it goes. I have Sirius so I hardly even listen to standard FM radio anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukrkoz:
Tunein is online radio. Not FM. It's not a question of radio, it's question how BT works with JB. Only reason I stick with Tune in is because of FrenchKissFM and because it proved itself to be most reliable radio I tried.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] danibri82:
I am more than fully aware of what TuneIn Radio is. I've been using it for probably longer than you've been on XDA. :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shreyasaditya:
Hey

i spilt water on my phone, a samsung galaxy nexus i9250 and i did the mistake of charging my phone after a few hours.

Now the phone doesn't charge at all. But everything else works perfectly without any problems. i have to remove the battery and charge it using a wall charger and put it back to use the phone.

i opened up the phone and found out that the IC socket on the main board which is used to connect the Charging Port Flex Ribbon and the connector of the ribbon is burnt.

i ordered the charging module off ebay, but its of no use if the socket on the motherboard itself is burnt. (6 pins of the socket soldered on the motherboard)

I just wanted to know if its fixable and if it can be fixed, can someone tell me where i can get the part.

I live in india where the phone wasnt released.

Thanks in advance :)

Hello,

I had posted this in Frequently Asked Questions about the LG Optimus 4x HD but got no help so I post here for a last try.

Just followed all dexter's steps in this thread to flash CMW

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2180138

but I got stuck here. Tried to read 34 pages of the thread but still couldnt solve my problem:eek:

My LG was rooted and unlocked.

Any help? thanks

[LG Optimus 4X HD] AlderCass:
The error message says it all: no such file or directory. Change /mnt/sdcard/ to /storage/external_SD/ :)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ekiong:
Tried and still not such files and directory :( thx anyway
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Bogeyof:
Are u sure, u have copied the neede files to the root of ur SD-Card? Seems not... U have to unpack the zip-files for CWM and copy both files to the root of ur SD-Card... After that the commands should work...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ekiong:
Omg I already did

Look pics
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
I needed to allow SuperSU access before I be able to do it...

Pay attention to your phone, when you give the command "adb shell", if Superuser/SuperSU don't ask permition.

Its just a idea...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ekiong:
I did it in recovery mode and tried it in terminal app aswell, but nothing happened with "cat /mnt/sdcard/recovery-6028.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p1"
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AlderCass:
Looks like the path to your SD card is different to mine. Try replacing /mnt/sdcard/ in the original command with /sdcard/ , ie:

su
cat /sdcard/recovery-6028.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
sync

su
cat /sdcard/unsecure-boot-mmcblk0p2.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
sync

Also no need to get aggravated, none of us are being rewarded for helping you here but we're trying to help anyway...

*edit*

ooops didn't look at all the screenshots. The last one shows your SD card path actually is indeed the same as mine. I'm all out of ideas then.

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

Did you do it in recovery mode from the start? When I did it it was when the phone was just switched on normally into the main OS.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Where the hell did you found that path /mnt/sdcard/....... ???
[LG Optimus 4X HD] x0BlackTeresis0x:
Tutorial CWM

Dude forget what they say everyone tells different way, read here what i writeto you and make the steps like me.

1. Unlock Bootloader and get SU Permissions

2. Go to PlayStore download SuperSU and than start give permisions to it to update Binary , than go to Setting in SuperSU and install in System

3. Reboot Phone

4. Copy the 2 IMG data to root from SD and rename recovery-6028.img > recovery.img & unsecure-boot-mmcblk0p2.img > boot.img

this to IMG data must be unpacked from RAR(Zip) from Dexter.

5. make sure you have Unknow Sources and USB Debug Active , and also make sure that Superuser is replaced by SuperSU after reboot

6. Go to PlayStore and Download Android Terminal Emulator

and give in Terminal

Type "su" without quotes and than accept the permissions from SuperSU after that give in

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

cat /mnt/sdcard/recovery.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

sync

IF YOU USE UNSECURE BOOT tha use this

su

cat /mnt/sdcard/boot.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p2

sync

Hope it helps and youv got it run :):laugh:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] AlderCass:
It's in the system root for me, it's a symlink. Though it didn't work for me in the cat command, which is why I suggested using /storage/external_SD/ instead which did work for me. It looks like the OP has the files in the right places, and the hash in the command line screenshot implies that SU is working correctly, so I'm all out of ideas now.

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

Little bit arrogant, we're all trying to help here, so I hope for your sake your way works for the OP ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ekiong:
Sorry man, just had a bad feeling :D.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tried and looked like I'm typing in word lol, nothing happen, still android system recovery, not CMW.

Need CWM to wipe battery status, battery goes down to 93% in 1 min after full chagring.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Remove micro sd from the phone.

Stick to the guide, pay atention to the phone screen behavior soo, keep the screen always on, in case of SuperSU ask for permition...

Copy and past the command lines from the post, like that you'll be sure that you don't miss write the path.

And like I use to say, be creative :)

Good luck !
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ekiong:
Still no such file, I give up :angel:

Thx every one
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
You tried this? Only the path changes, but... I ran out of ideas.

Like I told you, be creative. Change /sdcard/ to /sdcard0/... don't know man...

"01. You must have Root access (https://mega.co.nz/#!0opzyBjS!DSoW-CaTRi49JcW58yvwCCEug4hz6VmnevdJ1prcdpE)

02. Extract both *.img files somewhere

03. Copy those files to your phone (no matter if internal or external storage, I used /sdcard/Unlocking/ so below commands will contains my directory)

04. Run terminal app on your phone or adb shell from PC while you have connected phone

05. Run those commands:

su

cat /sdcard/recovery-6028.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

sync

su

cat /sdcard/unsecure-boot-mmcblk0p2.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

sync

REMEMBER!

If your folder is different than /sdcard replace it in those commands above!

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] wakeupneo:
I just wanted to pass on my experience with a 900/1900mhz device on the Australian Telstra network (900/1800mhz) for any other aussie's thinking of buying a US model to save some cash.

I initially bought this with the expectation that GPRS probably wouldn't work, but I figured this wouldn't matter that much as long as the phone did.

Anyway, after a call to Telstra, they told me it should still work fine on the 900mhz band so I setup my account for access to the network, put in the details and hey presto! GPRS!

I did however discover a missing component. The support guy was walking me through the process and asked me to put in the proxy information....huh? Not there! Is this something that has been removed from the developer rom or is it just the Australian XDA that has this extra tab in the connection settings? Luckily Telstra also offer a non-proxy connection so I was able to get around this anyway.

:lol:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
My expected behavior: Open app (like a file explorer) >>> turn screen off (or time out)>>> turn scren on >>> file explorer should be still open

observed behavior: Open app >>> turn screen off >>> turn screen on >>> always back at home screen of launcher

IRRITATING!

edit--- see below...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabeakster:
Solved--

Derp... it's my all my own fault... warning... super genius at work.

I had created an automatic sequence of sequences that occurs when the screen goes off. Part of which included checking wifi status and then disabling wifi if I wasn't at home. But it would enable wifi, if I was at home, AND launch GrooveIP app AND then return to home screen so I wasn't turning my phone on to see the GrooveIP dialer.

Oh, yeah... I remember doing that now... lol.

Work-around achieved. And it all works. Yay.

And in other good news I got my SDK (in particular the ddms) working for my Nexus 4. Apparently I had a total of 3 Android SDKs installed on my PC. I had forgotten about one install. The one that I forgotten about was the one that I kept updating when I updated. And one that I kept launching ddms from was not getting updated and so it was derping with the N4.

So, Double derp on me... all fixed now... :laugh:

I for one had a love/hate relationship with my Thrill. Loved it at first....hated waiting for the updates....but over all the phone has been GREAT! I rooted, but kept the stock ROM. Just froze some bloatware. Recently updated to ICS...LOVE IT! I would like to root again to get Tethering and to re-freeze apps, but so the solutions I am finding are too convoluted for me. I want something as simple as it was to root with GB using Megatron Exploit.

My contract is up in a month. I am definitely considering the Optimus G. Not a fan of the S3 form factor. Feels like a toy and don't like the rounded edges.
[LG Thrill 4G] the ManaWhoney:
I love my Thrill but LG and ATT seriously upset me when it comes to updating. And the tools necessary to to modify this phone are ridiculous. Not so bad now that I have tinkered with things, but it look a long time to figure it all out. This phone would be junk if it were not for the few brilliant developers we have that took the time to work around LG's crap. I will probably never buy an LG phone again. I want something with over the air updates and I want to purchase it from a company that actually concentrates on the phones that are already out. Don't even get me started on things like cases and invisishields which you can't even find anymore at places like Best Buy, etc.
[LG Thrill 4G] bigjonnyd:
Never never never!!!!

I will never ever get another lg phone. The device itself is not bad, the issue is the service from lg themselves. Its nonexistent worst support ever. Im def going to another company when my 2 years is up.
[LG Thrill 4G] frankslan:
I don't think I would probably go with a samsung s3 or s4 maybe a nexus. I would like to have an sd card though so the nexus probably wont happen. I dont even know what phones lg have out so I do like this phone though plus for a 100 buck and no data plan can't really beat it.
[LG Thrill 4G] M3wThr33:
I've never seen such a laggy device. It's bizarre.
[LG Thrill 4G] Sharings:
They really had no say so in what happened with ICS.

Part of it was AT&T's wrong doing by cutting the contract with LG for a while. They had to renew it before any decision to release another firmware/software was developed.

Sorry I thought you were just copying and pasting from the guide you were folowing. I guess I was reffuring to the entire root procedure but its no big deal

Its telling you exactly what is happening, phone didn't take the flash of the new engineeging bootloader, probably the emmc didn't cycle, try running command again, if its the same outcome double check your radio version as that can cause this or can you post all info from your hboot screen here
