[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBirdOfHermes:
I've been looking around eBay and I came across the 3500 mAh battery for the Defy+.

Has anyone tried this, and if so, what are your opinions? 3500 mAh is a massive force of battery life, even though I am sure the parts are not that quality from looking at the 8~10$ average eBay price.

So should I get this battery to serve me as an extra/backup one?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mavasilisk:
It will be actually much much lower mah then its mentioned for 8$ believe me.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBirdOfHermes:
I understood that.

Anyway, where I can buy another decent battery for backup? ^^ I love my Defy+ and I'm going to stick to it for a while, better get myself another battery.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowbal:
I have one. Not sure about the total mAH but the battery seems at least better than my old stock battery. No one makes a good case for a Defy with the extended battery. I've resorted to running the phone naked. I might get some gaffers tape to add some protection.

Also keep in mind your water resistance goes away with the extended battery. Not a big deal if you are careful. The bigger battery combined with a battery saver to turn off data/wifi when screen is off allows the battery to easily last more than a day.

Edit: I changed back to my old OEM battery. The extra bulk made the phone too annoying to carry. There was extra battery life but the meter did not reflect the upgrade so it was hard to gauge. It's annoying to be running at 0-1% for a few hours because it could die anytime.

UPDATE: Phone has been resurrected. Thanks to mainly Pain-N-Panic as well as a few other who helped.

Turned out I just had to flash the stock ROM on my phone about 20 billion times before it finally worked.

BUT now, Anytime I make a call, It makes a loud static clicking sound. Any help?

So I flashed Eaglesblood onto my phone using ROM Manager, which bricked my phone.

I immediately began looking up how to unbrick it.

I found the tutorial by TGA Gunnman to flash CWM and followed it verbatim. > http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

Successfully installed APX drivers, as well as successfully flashed CWM onto my phone.

At first I was getting bootloader errors, which i discovered by putting the battery in while running the flash worked.

My phone is unresponsive to pressing the power button as well as putting it into CWM recovery mode.

> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248644

also tried doing that one, and my phone booted up to the LG logo screen, then crashed. :P

If anyone could please help me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Well the first thing you did wrong was using Rom Manager to try and flash a ROM. You should be using clockworkmod recovery. Do you have CWM installed on the phone? And when I say installed, did you flash it via NvFlash?

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

Also, you have update the drivers once you download them. Turn off your phone, hold the VOLUME DOWN AND VOLUME UP button (without holding the power buttong and then plug in your phone while holding them. Once your computer makes a noise or shows a pop up signaling that it recognizes your device you can let go of the buttons. From there you should see an APX icon with an error exclamation mark. Right click it and select install drivers. Select choose file from my PC. Click on "have disc" and select the APX drivers. Install them. Now you should be able to see the files on your phone. I recommend flashing CWM with NvFlash, follow the directions HERE: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847. Did you make a nandroid backup of your original ROM? If you did, after you flash CWM with NvFlash, boot into recovery by holding down the VOLUME DOWN button and the POWER button. I would do a full wipe then choose backup/restore. Go to the restore folder and restore your original ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
To be honest im not sure what you mean exactly. I did download an app called clockword recovery mod, and before i installed Eaglesblood, it said "do you want to save your current ROM" or something like that and i checked it. Update, I installed all the proper drivers to where my computer will detect my phone. When i run the flash recovery program on my computer it runs through several steps then says failed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Re: Help!! Phone hard bricked and wont boot

Are you using NvFlash? I think the problem is that you used rom manager. The app rom manager is not a proper installation of clock work mod recovery. You have to use NvFlash to properly install cwm

---------- Post added at 07:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 AM ----------

When you hold down the power button and the volume down button while the phone is off, does it boot into cwm? If so, select backup/restore and then choose restore. In that folder, if rom manager backed up your rom you should see a file with a bunch of random numbers.....that's your back up. Select it to restore it. I recommend doing a full wipe before u do that though
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
I've followed all instructions very carefully. This is the message I get when i run the one click flash.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Have you correctly installed the APX drivers like I explained in the above post?

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------

Also, try cleaning out the USB port in your phone with a q-tip. I've read other people having success with this strategy in getting their PC to recognize their phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monte666:
Take your battery out to do apx and nvflash I think that's were your getting a error sounds weird but that's how it works

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
This. Make sure your battery is out of your phone when installing drivers. However, if your phone has installed eaglesblood, you may need to install the modified ICS ADB drivers. You should be able to find a download link for the adb drivers in the eaglesblood thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
Ok well this is what has happened since last post, I got APX drivers installed, I got CWM recovery installed into my phone, but now my phone will not boot on or boot into CMW
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ApriliaM3:
I suggest you don't create any more threads regarding this matter and also refrain from using bad language anywhere, including the title of your duplicated threads.

Creating more and more threads is not going to help with anything so they have all been deleted excluding this one.

You already have people here that are trying to assist you but if you don't provide the step-by-step of what you did, their help is only guesswork.

Try using this. Just make sure you have a gb rom in your external sd ready to flash afterward.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
Sorry, noob here. What do you mean gb rom and how do i go about putting it on my external sd? my external sd is completely blank no files do i have to make a certain file name or path for it to read it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Gb means gingerbread. Its the stock format for the g2x's rom. Since you can't boot the phone, download gb rom (weapon 2.3.3 is an example or Hellfire but they also make an ICS so make sure you don't download that one) on your PC and move it to the external SD with while viewing the files on your computer. Then proceed to thread that twitch referred you to and carry out the fix then flash the rom from your external SD with CWM on your phone. Hope it works man

After reading the thread that twitch sent you, that should work. Just make sure to follow the directions closely. Any questions just ask
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
The method you posted failed. I flashed my phone, but when it rebooted, it showed the LG logo then crashed. I held volume down and it went in S/W Update not CWM then crashed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
UPDATE: my phone booted completely then crashed!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
That's weird man. Have you removed rom manager, the application you used to flash eaglesblood? Delete it from your phone completely by plugging it into your PC and deleting the file. After that, try the process again and let us know what happens
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:

Now all you need is the baseband fix and you'll be good to go, glad you got it running. If you have the March 2012 baseband you gotta flash the new baseband fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Good to hear man! Glad you got it running. Yup, all you have to do now is download and flash the base and fix. What rom did you end up flashing? Eaglesblood? That's what I'm currently so if you have any questions about it feel free to ask
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
I flashed the stock 2.2.3 cause i dont know how to flash anything else, as you can see i completely effed up my phone last time.

Would you mind explaining how i flash the new baseband onto my phone? I read and downloaded the baseband i need but i still don't understand how i flash it onto my phone it just says do it without an explanation ha. I downloaded the app GetRIL and it says i have the 21e baseband and i need the 21Y baseband. do i downlaod a program to do that? and also can i install eaglesblood onto my phone by putting it on my SD card, then putting my phone into CWM, and extracting it that way?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Yes that's how you flash a rom. What baseband was your phone originally on before you did anything? 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
well im geussing 2.3.3 cause thats what im on now, and when i click check for updates, it says phone is up to date. So, i flash the new baseband using the SD card, CWM, extracting method? as well as eaglesblood?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Pretty sure that you do not need to flash the new baseband for eaglesblood. I was on 2.3.4 and had to flash the baseband fix zip file so calls wouldn't be messed up. You have to download the eaglesblood ROM and the gapps (Google apps) from the eaglesblood thread on your phone. From there do a complete wipe in cwm, directions for the wipe are included in the first post of the eaglesblood thread. From there go to your SD card and flash the rom. Immediately after flash the Google apps. Then reboot. The first time it will take a while so don't freak out. If I were you I would do a lot more reading and research before you try and flash again.....this way you don't end up in a crappy position like last time.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strra:
I've seen people saying they have their Nexus 4 on AT&T's Prepaid GoPhone service at $50.

I was wondering the best way to go about doing this.

Do I go into the store and get a GoPhone SIM with the $25 Monthly Plan (250 minutes, unlimited texts) along with the $25 1GB data package?

Or do I just get the SIM with the $50 Monthly Unlimited Plan? The AT&T rep I spoke to said that I would only be able to access mobile web via a feature phone with the $50 plan.

Thank you guys for any help.

-Randy
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
I am also curious about this. I am probably going to do the $25 plan plus a 1gb dataplan for $25, coming to $50/month. However, I want to know the best action. I've heard that you have to give AT&T a different IMEI because they don't integrate well with N4 (although I think that is only for LTE; so you don't have to for HSPA+?) Sorry, I'm kind of new the whole mobile development scene, and I'm switching to the N4 so I can start developing for and tinkering with Android (plus, it's an amazing device).

I guess what I'm (and I think the OP is) asking is, which GoPhone plan to sign up for, and do I just walk in to the store with my Nexus 4, say "I need x GoPhone plan for this phone", pop in the sim they give me, and I'll have access to full HSPA+ speeds? If not, do I just need to change the APN (if so, to what)? If not that, do I need to give them a different IMEI to get access to HSPA+ like I've heard you need to do for LTE?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I just walked into an AT&T store (corporate not an authorized dealer) and asked for a GoPhone microsim and they handed me one for free. The rep then said that they could port my number over and set up my service for me if I wished or I could do it myself. I let them setup my service, the $25 monthly plan + $25 1 GB data plan, took him about 10 minutes to get it all setup and the number ported over. Once it was all setup and good to go the store manager walks out and says to me that my phone won't work with that data plan as it not for 4G phones (meaning LTE). I showed him my data was working just fine and said the Nexus 4 isn't a 4G phone anyways. He said it was a fluke that it was working but I knew better from the threads in here. It's now been 3 weeks and I've had no problems. The APN settings I used were the default ones already on the phone after I restarted it with the new microsim card in place (they are listed in the other thread linked to below).

GoPhone discussion in General Section:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2195150&highlight=gophone

The $25 monthly plan is the third one down:

http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/plans/prepaidplans.html

Data packages are right below the monthly plans; 1GB, 200 MB or 50MB. That's all that's offered with these plans.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
Wow, thanks for the reply; that's exactly what I was asking (and hopefully the OP. I feel like I kind of hijacked his thread if he didn't gain anything from it). When you bought the service and had them set it up all up, you had your Nexus 4 device there with you and had them do what needed to be done on it? Thanks for the link too.

I have to say, one of the reasons I'm excited to go to prepaid is the service I get from cellphone companies/representatives. About 2 weeks ago, before I even decided to go with the Nexus 4 and prepaid service, I walked into an AT&T store to inquire about how that all works, and if they could work with a Nexus 4 and everything (I was ignorant, I like to think I've learned from browsing these forums). Anyway, the first thing they tried to sell me was post-paid service for like $90/mo. I then said I wanted to try prepaid. Without hesitation the woman helping me said "Ok, that'll run $65/mo". That is their most expensive prepaid plan, she didn't even lay out the options of the other plans. I then said I found on their site online that there are these other plans like the $25/mo plan and I wanted to add $25/mo for a gig of data. She then said "Yeah, you can do that." then walked over to where the prepaid plan info things were hanging and handed them to me.

If you're still reading this unnecessarily long post, I guess the point I'm trying to make is: I'm browsing for info here and asking for a lot of advice on here because everyone here knows what they're talking about. Even if the people working for AT&T know what's going on, I feel like all they're trying to do is sell me the most expensive plan and not outlining options (I get it, it's their job; they're salesmen, but still). That's a big reason why I want to go to prepaid. If I catch them signing me up for stuff or all-around jerking me around, I can tell them to buzz off and take my business elsewhere.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I walked into the store with my phone, said I need a microsim for the GoPhone plans. The guy handed me one and said he could set it up for me if I liked. I said I wanted the $25 plan + the $25 data package and if he couldn't do it for me I could do it myself. He said it was no problem setting it up on my phone. It was the manager who later came out at the end who tried to up sell me into a higher priced plan but I showed him my phone was working just fine with what I had and I walked out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
Ok, thanks, I feel more confident walking in there now. Appreciate you answering my questions. My phone is in the mail and should arrive tomorrow. Today, I'm going to walk in and see if they have MicroSIM cards on site. If not, I need to order one or maybe try Radioshack.

There is a way to do this with a free software. Download & install the free Remote Display Control application from MS. You can find it at :

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/default.mspx

This application is similar to PcAnywhere. You see your XDA screen on your PC while the XDA is connected to your PC via ActiveSync. Simply navigate to your SMS Inbox and create and send the message. Presto!

Hope this helps.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Qman:
This is a great tip and thanks for posting it but $9.99 isn't a bad price for such a Cool program. 8)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] k_kirk:
Qman, thanks. I must admit having seen this posted somewhere earlier on so much as I'd like to I can't claim credit for the idea!

I agree with you in the price of CoolSMS being reasonable at $9.99, especially if it allows one to compose SMS while the XDA is not yet connected to ActiveSync to be sent at the next ActiveSync. This is one thing you can't do with the solution I posted.
