[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spawne32:
Apples are built with an entirely different philosophy, when you buy their product you are cradled with software and design support at the expense of having no freedom with the device whatsoever. Android, and essentially linux which is its base, whole purpose in life is customization, especially on the user end, hence why open source support is so huge for android phones. You are right though, jerkwad carriers and proprietary hardware take alot of the fun out of all of it for the expense of profits, thats why I love the fact that google came out with the nexus line of unlocked phones, its basically a jab at all the carriers and their proprietary phones and software saying, we can do whatever we want, because its our right to, we designed it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
At this point it seems like android was made for people that will pay top dollar for unfinished products.

Excuse me and other sensible people for wanting a fully working device. My iPhone 2g and 3g both worked and I could still modify them quite a bit. Even my sister's galaxy nexus had big mms problems that Google never fixed.

LG is terrible....

I too swore never to buy another LG device and silly me I got a Nexus 4....

I still cling onto my G2X and use it as media device. I have DROID TV and have like over 20gigs of shows I need to watch and finish. Also I connect my phone to my TV and watch it there. Don't use it much as a phone. Mainly because whenever I watch my shows it would interrupt and got very annoying.

I still love my G2X. Right size, great screen, never needed screen protector. Battery is terrible and Nexus 4 is just as bad, I mean could be better but isn't.

But who's to blame. Honestly, if CM10.1 gets calling ability and work I'll come right back to this device. Main reason I don't sell it or dump the phone is because I paid full retail price for it and still refuse to accept the loss. Because thats what this phone has been. A loss. I mean seriously.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Nexus 4 really that bad? Unlocked and off contract for $350 is a steal in my opinion. That's only $100 more than a used galaxy Nexus.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adamiscool:
Eh, I decided to get the new One from HTC. It just had too much promotion to not get it. I love the G2x, great build quality for sure. I was able to get the One for $99 by switching to Sprint, and I decided to go ahead and send in the ol' G2x to (hopefully) receive the $100 gift card. So, essentially I payed next to nothing for the phone itself, but I will have to eat the cost of cancelling my T-mo account a few months early, but I'll also be able to get a discount on the plan because of corporate discount through work. It was just too enticing not to go for it. I know it's not a Nexus, but I am positive the hardware will be more than capable enough to run several more Android versions in the future. I believe the G2x just won't be able to handle much more than jelly bean. I think it's mostly the lack of ram, but I'm going to remain subscribed to this forum and check back on occasion. If it goes past jelly bean, I won't be surprised if those future versions will be running barebones/ultra slimmed down versions. I also have an old school G1 still, but bricked it trying to get the system to see SD card as usable ram to upgrade. Still wish I could get that thing to work...

Everyone that I know that has the nexus absolutely loves it, i havent heard a single bad thing about it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
Same here.

I might be picking up a Galaxy Nexus dirt cheap to tide me over till my upgrade.

Although, I really don't have anu bad blood with my G2x.

First smart phone, does everything I need it to do, and I've only ran into a couple games that won't run on my G2x due to being pre-4.0.x OS, and I just play them on my tablet running BakedBean 4.1.2. Still a good phone for me after 15 months. Solid build, I don't care too much it doesn't have ICS/JB, with 512MB total, and after carveout for GPU, sitting at <400MB, the experience of ICS/JB on this device isn't going to be anything stellar over GB as GB didn't have as large as memory usage requirements as ICS/JB.

Just saying, does it really, really matter that much guys?

Not to me anyways.

Yeah, I agree with the most of the people here regarding software updates between iOS and Android and I honestly LOVE android, but the software updates are slow.. if Google could fix up the fragmentation, they would be closer to #1 on my list. The only other complaint is apps in the Google Play but that's not really a big issue. I'm glad at least I wasn't the only one who was having problem with my G2x.

I have only been introduced to the world of android rooting and Modding for the last month. This is my first smart phone. I got bored of it and found this website. Read about the advantages to rooting and flashing roms for a few weeks and finally did it. I'm more than satisfied with how my device is performing compared to stock. It's faster, better looking, and just plain more fun to use. I would love to see a fully working ics rom though. I love the interface and crisp feel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluenote73:
Blaming LG is only partially right. It's primarily from being on a crap AWS carrier like t-mo, wind, etc. The p990 got it's update, no reason p999 wouldn't with just a few tweaks except they didn't even care that much. Anyways, blame is on the carrier. Keep in mind buying your next phone.

Was wondering if we could have a port for this. I know there are other ways to sync with controllers but this seems to be the most simplest way to do it. Please see the link below.

thank you xda .. i bought a dualshock 3

i will try to keep this post as short as possible..

thank you team xda for your hard work and research.. seriously.. thank you very much guys..

because of you guys.. i safely rooted my note 2 (N7100)with philz touch recovery method(altho i am still on stock rom build N7100XXUFNL1)..

and after rooting my phone..

i realized the actual potential of a device like the (N7100) Galaxy note 2.

back to the point..

Sony dualshock 3 and the NOTE 2 is the most awesome combination(note 2 for its display size and specs and sony playstation for being sony playstation..lol )

i connected dualshock 3 with note 2 via standard usb cable(one i used with my old seagate hard drive).. of course also using the standard generic otg cable.

now.. games that natively detected the dualshock 3 controller(without installing any other apps for key mapping or touch mapping or any mobile gamepad apps for rooted devices etc.)...were as follows..

MODERN COMBAT 4 : ZERO HOUR,

MODERN COMBAT 5 (this game detected dualshock 3 as native gamepad in Xperia devices..mobiles and tablets.. and all keys were correctly mapped to its respective controller buttons)

apart from that..

if you have the sixaxis controller app from playstore..

i give you my word.. any game is configurable..and that too very easily..just take a screenshot of the game and load it into the sixaxis controller app..map the respective dualshock 3 keys on your touch screen.. and save profile.. thats it.

i played gangstar vegas and NOVA 3.. and the dualshock 3 worked flawlessly on both usb connection and wireless(all connection instructions are provided in sixaxis controller app help menu.. so cool.. )

in short.. the dualshock 3 + Galaxy note 2 (or similar awesome devices) + sixaxis controller app = almost any game in playstore and emulatore etc. ... playable..

the touch mapping is very easy and i dont know how but thank God the SELinux Enforcing did not interfere with sixaxis controller's access to UIinput.. it was like magic.. coz all other apps except sixaxis controller failed to access UIinput..

anyways .. moving on..

the dualshock 3 controller is original.. purchased from authorized sony center.. for 2990 bucks in INDIA......

and it is UNDOUBTEDLY the most awesome alternative to any other controller out there.. the original is well built.. sturdy.. AND IT HAS NO LAGS AT ALL..EVEN WIRELESSLY..

for this price and these possibilities .. all hail sony dualshock 3.. even without the gameKlip.. its still the smartest choice.. if ya feeel ma drift..!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Have you tried looking up the error codes it gives?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stereo386:
No don't know where and how
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Reboot your phone and see if it still is happening (I'm assuming you've already done that).

After a bit more research, the original error is

relatively common and has a simple solution

(see post #4. All you have to do is remove your google account (in settings), then open the play store (it'll give you errors about no account on the phone). Then you can go back and re-add your account. This should clear the original error code.

The second error code probably is due to the fact that you're on 3G. According to other users, sometimes the play store has connectivity issues over 3G (especially is the service is spotty). And apparently it's a known issue on the

entire continent of Australia

(look at "Downloading, installing and updating apps" and "[#7041453] Australian users: errors 927 and 495"). Others have reported that this error goes away when connected to wifi.

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szaby59:
Well, if your phone doesn't even turns on or enters to download mode with the 3button combination it's hard bricked.

Probably corrupted pbl and/or sbl which means the jig will not work.

Send back to samsung if it's still under warranty or ask someone who has JTAG and upload the bootloaders to the nand, this will bring back dl mode - a JTAG repair will cost approx. 30-50 USD.

Hmmm, It seems to be when I plug my phone into the computer it makes the USB connected sound and stays like that, but after about 5-6 seconds it makes the disconnect sound. Does this mean anything at all?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szaby59:
It confirms your bootloader is corrupted.

I guess it will show an "U8500 USB ROM" in device manager when you connect the USB cable.

That's because the phones internal rom (I don't know what exactly called) tries to load the primary bootloader but it can't find a valid one.

The boot process of Ace 2 and I guess for a few other Samsung devices:

Internal rom -> PBL -> Search for valid SBL -> Loading SBL -> SBL Checks if any 3key combo or JIG/UART/charger/etc connected ?

NO -> Normal boot, loading kernel, etc.

YES -> Charging, Download mode or Recovery mode (depending which buttons are pressed or device is connected).

Or something similar, but the point is you should NEVER flash bootloaders, if one of them gets corrupted you can't recover your phone with the usual tools.

I doubt it can be recovered, but try this:

Pull out the battery, connect the phone to the PC (Odin should be started before) press vol_down+home+power and reinsert the battery (still hold the 3 buttons!)

See if odin detects the phone.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitchpeep:
No luck :(, I think I might send the phone back to the place I bought it from and act dumb.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitchpeep:
I plugged the phone into a different usb port and it said U8500 USB ROM then it says no driver found. Does this basically mean Ive screwed the boot? IS there any other way than JTAG to fix?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorset:
Hi

There is a trick that in most of cases can fix bircked phones!

Just remove battery and wait for a minute , then hold vol. down + Home + power button and ask someone to place battery while you are holding buttons!

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitchpeep:
I think your pretty much screwed unless you take it to someone who J/TAGS or can revive hard bricked devices, a usb jig will not work. I have learnt my lesson now, to always read the comments at least 10 times before flashing any rom, that goes for stock roms too :P.

How big should this be? What is the benefits or drawbacks to a bigger Rom:slot to a smaller?

If I choose the maximum size of a Rom slot wich is 3Gb, does this mean that 3 GB is all I have to install my apps, store pictures and everything else?

I just got me one of these from a local store here in the Philippines. I regularly use a UAG Scout and I must say that this is pretty slim compared to the Scout. A few more things to note:

Lip is only about 1-1.5 mm thin

Drop protection is only a 2 on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the highest

Will only allow you to charge with the cable that came with the phone - anything bigger wont fit.

The jack of my aJays one+ fits

Power and volume buttons are covered.

Personally, I wouldn't use this case on a daily basis - it's more of a "for the home" kind of case. I'm still going to use my UAG - Scout especially if I know that I would have a tough and busy day ahead.
