You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Facebook contacts not syncing has to do with the API that Facebook uses, and yes the other companies have bent over for them.

An Ad-blocker will stop you from seeing the ad, but it will NOT stop the app from making the call to a server for the ad. Your battery will still drain.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
There are certain rules everyone needs to play by when using Android's sync API. Facebook never played by these rules. So Google added exception for Facebook. Facebook never conformed to Android standards and google removed the exception they had granted Facebook.

It's been 2 years and Facebook hasn't still played by rules. All these OEM's put the exception back in and that's the reason sync works.

Yep exactly what I was saying. Google isn't blocking facebook from syncing, if they were then friendcaster, sync.me, or haxsync wouldn't be able to sync your contacts. Facebook just doesn't play by the rules and never have.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luiseteyo:
I dont think it is a good idea to make a facebook launcher. Fb is quite enough inside our life to dominate our launcher also. They would success even more if they had a fast simple fb apk, but we have that crappy thing...

Otherwise, fb is great, and I can't understand how can somebody say... "people still use fb?" when it is the most used social network in the world.

I am sure almost all of u use facebook. More, or less, but I am sure u do.
[LG Thrill 4G] h4x0l2:
Alright, so here is my experience updating to the ICS Official update from a rommed/rooted Gingerbread LG Thrill

I ignored the warnings, I didn't use clockwork recovery... more or less just to see what would happen. Long story short, it bricks.

To fix the brick, in case you did this too:

Get the Drivers

Use the LG Support Tool

- Your phone must be on/connected

Click: Customer Support --> Recovery Phone

Let it update.

You might need to restart the phone a few times before it will be connected to the LG Support tool (at least I did)

All works fine now, Running ICS.

-Edit: Root will be gone
[LG Thrill 4G] pollutedmuse:
didn't brick, but...

I used the tool I think it is somthing like i-B smart flash tool ext- you paste ap file and cp file and press start, really simple. Flashed prerooted

Ics, works but phone will constantly shut down. My goal is the 3drom, which the failed rom is a prerequisite. Thanks

Hey everyone,

Long time follower but first poster on this particular forum, am on the cusp of ordering a nexus 4 but slightly concerned about some reports concerning the colour calibration/washed out status of the screen. Just wandering if anyone here who has purchased/seen a RECENTLY bought nexus 4 and can report on whether this issue has been fixed/improved at all?

It's the only thing that stopping me from purchasing as I'm used to the saturation and 'pop' of my 4s and don't want to trade down so to speak.I have a nexus 7 and the colours are very washed out so I'm hoping it's at least better than that. I know of course about the display control app etc but I don't really want to root to be honest.

Thoughts?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luiseteyo:
I don't have any colour calibration issue. Anyway, with some apps, like franco kernel updater u can modify the color / gamma settings of your screen :)

Buy it... trust me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
You don't realise the screen is washed out until you either compare it with another phone or calibrate the screen and see the true potential of the display ;)

@OP, some people said that things got better with the 4.2.2 update but if I were you I would definitely root and install a calibrated kernel.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbeebe24:
To be honest the screen was completely unacceptable to me when I bought the phone. Rooting and installing kernels with color/gamma control definitely changed my mind. I know you don't want to root, but the phone is awesome in every other aspect. Of highly recommend buying it and installing a custom kernel as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
If you're coming from the 4S, or Galaxy phone with an AMOLED screen, and especially if you can't stand the Nexus 7 screen.. you will not appreciate the Nexus 4 display.

However, if you are not opposed to rooting and tweaking the display then you're good to go.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manu4204:
seriously bro buy it

the screen is superb even in low brightness setting and it looks beautiful

trust me you wont regret buying it :cool::cool:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paddylaz:
Ok thanks guys - will have an extended test in store tomorrow and come to a conclusion. Still uneasy but all this custom kernal stuff as it's a bit above my intellectual pay grade but I love the look of the nexus so maybe I'll force myself to start learning/experimenting outside the comfort zone so to speak.

Thanks again
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Freddowar:
Hello,

my phone's build.prop sais:

...

ro.build.target_operator=TMO

ro.build.target_country=DE

ro.lge.swversion=LG-P880-V10h-NOV-19-2012

I bought the phone from a store in Greece and not from an Operator and i use it with Greek Op... When I bought it, about a month ago I did an OTA update to the version 10h...

My questions are:

1) Is it safe to do a manual update with an Euro Open Version or a Greek Version for v20a or i'll have to stay with TMO (which i think it means T-Mobile)?

2) Will that change the operator in my phone and what other changes are made (except from the s/w version changes. for ex does it change the target_country?)?

3) From the store i bought it they said that I have full waranty from LG Hellas for 2 years. If I can and do the update to the Euro Open or Greek V. will I loose the waranty?

4) If I can do the manual update can you provide me a link with the steps to do it?

Thank you very much!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Freddowar:
anyone??? please i feel so idiot that i cannot update it!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hpnxfox:
go to this link, it will open white page, in adress bar after "=" sign at the end just put your IMEI number and hit enter, copy info WITHOUT you phone IMEI and paste here

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=

Regarding your questions:

1. It is safe like you do this with ota or lg tool, every flash have risks

2. No change

3. Yes, and no, if your currently phone software is online aka http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15 and you can download it and flash it then you have no worry about warranty, but if isn't and if you flash v20, and in the meanwhile you need to use your warranty..then you cant go back to latest stock software for you phone and maybe you have problems than..because you cant use recovery phone in lg tools for reverting to stock for two reason: Obviously there isn't jet JB for your region otherwise you would not post these questions, and second if you update manually to v20 only way to reverse to stock is to use different method (downgrading) also included in link above(problem if you dont have matching v10h software if you have some branding apps included). Or you can wait official JB for your phone's region. So check that you can download from internet your currently stock software.

4. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36676469&postcount=1 look here for methods, i use it all including LGFlash tool (this method is not in the list) and never had problems..
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Wenque:
1) Software-wise it is safe. It is also possible to go back to LG-P880-V10h-NOV-19-2012 if you want to later.

2) It won't change your operator. Also, your phone should remain linked to Greece (or perhaps Germany as that's in your build.prop) and T-Mobile by IMEI.

3) I don't know whether the T-Mobile version has additional software installed, but it seems likely. They should be able to tell that that software is missing. If you don't have any specific T-Mobile software on the phone they probably cannot tell the difference after you go back to LG-P880-V10h-NOV-19-2012. Of course you can be smart about it and make a CWM-backup + Titanium Backup of ALL your apps so you can restore everything after reinstalling LG-P880-V10h-NOV-19-2012. In that case they cannot tell the difference. Note: You need to then also remove CWM and root after the restore before you send it in for repairs.

4) I preferred this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069723.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Freddowar:
thank you both!!! very much!!!!:D
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Wenque:
Fortunately, the rom he has is standard, so he just needs to worry about potential extra apps. Root+Titanium backup should cover that, as he can reflash->root->restore all apps+data with Titanium Backup->remove root.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hpnxfox:
Agree! :)

Tried searching, couldn't find it.

I tried to do the OTA update, but phone didn't find it. I want to run the search again, but I am getting the 'wait 24 hours' message. I know there are workarounds for this to be able to search again, but the only one I was able to find said to navigate to "device management" in settings > general > applications. My phone doesn't have an option in there called "device management." What am I looking for/where do I need to go to clear the cache to be able to search again before tomorrow?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jakmal:
just chenge the date one day after and that do the trick:D
[AT&T LG Optimus G] tcozman:
Conversation with LG support

I had the same issue and contacted LG support. They said they found an issue in the OTA update and needed to resolve it before distributing to some Optimus G phones. This was after waiting for the support rep for a while because he said he had to talk to his manager. He said we will receive the update notification as soon as it is available for our phones. Hopefully he's right. I don't want to wait 21 hours and 2 minutes to search for the update unsuccessfully. Here are some pics just in case from my phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gsrrr:
jakmal is right. But for future reference, you can clear data/cache for "com.lge.lgfota.permission" and com"lge.omadmclient" to get around the 24 hr limit for the updates.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdock:
I have been just clearing data for lge.omadmclient and it lets me re-check every time.

Changing the date forward comes with its own set of annoyances :)

I hope what tcozman says is true, but it sounds to me like standard cs-rep runaround speak for "we don't have any way to know why you haven't gotten it yet." The update is coming from AT&T, not LG, anyway.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] twvance:
Jakmal's method worked and I'm downloading currently.

I see those two processes listed, but when I open them, the option to clear the cache is unavailable. Were you suggesting that I clear through TiBu? I'm still stock and therefore can't use TiBu. Just for future reference, is there any other way to clear the cache of those other than TiBu?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] tcozman:
Well setting the date forward worked to search for updates but it says my device is up to date. Twvance do you have the same issue?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] twvance:
Sorry to hear that it didn't work. Mine found the update and it is at 66% as we speak...er....type.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flukester69:
Anyone know why? Is this because of the bootloader on 4.2 that Adb is able to see it. I plug in my 4.2 Nexus 7 and it's detected etc by the system. The 4.1 device is not really seen. I can see the composite device but no portable thing saying Nexus 7.

It's been a while since I flashed up to 4.2. Do I need the bootloader on there first or can I just nuke the N7 and flash a rom and worry about the bootloader after? I'm figure the Adb I got, something like 1.0.31 or something can't talk to older 4.1... That's my guess.

I am using WUGS too and did the driver test. Works perfectly on my 4.2 N7 but nothing at all on the 4.1 N7...

Hi guys, after browsing through this forum I unlocked my xda 2 (many thanks:)) and have now tried my 3g sim card in the phone and it works fine. So far as I understand, I will effectively have no on air content e.g. gprs connection, gps wap, or any of the 3g stuff. Can I do either of these things: alter the gprs settings so they work with 3g... or using pocket internet explorer, dial up to a provider such as freeserve...

Many thanks,

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] junglejim:
I unlocked my xda II with the software available on this forum. I then simply put the 3G simcard in the phone and it worked... comes up with the O2 network. However Three have now said that they have built in measures to stop this working now.... although I'm not sure whether this is true or not (I've tried 3 3g simcards in my unlocked xda2 and they all work and two of them are less than three weeks old). Now I've never heard of it happening to an XDA 2 before, but there are rumour that putting the three simcard into a 2 or 2.5g phone can physically damage it. Anyway, I've had no problem, so give it a try if you feel brave (I take no responsibility :D ). (BTW you don't get 3G content... and I couldn't get GPRS working! so its a phone only).

Cheers,

[General Questions and Answers] Aessaya:
Hello, esteemed xdadevelopers, xdausers and other various xdamembers.

I've been on the lookout for a new phone (as in fresh new, not second-hand new, like my few past devices). I don't need a fancy top-of-the-line phone, but i'm looking for a decend phone that'll last me at least a year, preferably two, so an active modding/developer community for the particular phone model is a big plus, 'cause i don't like to be stuck on stock forever. I'll be picking it up from a local cell phone operator, so the supply of different models is quite limited here, they mostly have samsung devices and a few other manufacturer devices.

So far i've managed to narrow the list down to three devices:

Samsung Galaxy S II (I9100)

Samsung Galaxy S II Plus (I9105P)

LG optimus L9 (P760)

I seriously can't decide on which is the one for me. S2 has established a great and very active community, which results in a very high likelyhood of getting some nice new ROMs for the foreseeable future, whereas S2+ is a new device which may (or may not, knowing Samsung) receive some software love from the manufacturer, but it doesn't even have it's own forum section yet. L9, on the other hand, is a worthy runner-up and is down-right beautiful phone to me (also has the biggest battery, which is always a bonus).

Please, post your opinion on the above devices, input from their respective owners is highly appreciated! And yes, i intend to at least root it right away, slap on some custom rom if possible (you can suggest some of your favourite rooms along the way). While I'm not interested in other suggestions, such as SIII, SIII mini (those are fugly to me, no offence) or random chinese crap, you can try to advocate for a device of your choice if it has similar specs and/or is in the same price range as the above devices, but, above all, i prefer devices with as low roundness as possible. Chocolate bars ftw, soap bars suck.

p.s. nexus 4 is not available at my country, nor i'd be able to buy one any time soon.

Thank you for your time.

update [08/04]: i picked up a shiney new SII.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ama8812:
I have recently purchased the Xperia acro s, and while the display is certainly nice, I have noticed that colors - most notably grays - appear very warm. White areas of the display appear pure, but light grays look yellow or brownish and mid and dark grays have a reddish tint to them - a significant departure from the more neutral tones on my Xperia active and computer monitor. I have attached a photo to illustrate what I am talking about.

I was wondering if fellow owners of this device could tell me if this warm color temperature is a characteristic of the display of the acro S, or an oddity of my particular handset. Thanks in advance :)
