[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eury23:
^^^Did the intelligent people arrived as OP said? Jesus I feel bad for OP and all the responses he was getting from people who clearly just wanted to make it sound as a stupid idea when it is not. He is a simple scenario were OP suggestion would works great:

Someone steals your phone or finds it (it could happen to the best of us), you found out between minutes and inmediately grab a smartphone from your friend to activate your security software. While you do this the thief has no way to shut down the phone without a password and probably can't access it because of a pattern. He will have no way to turn the phone off (if it doesnt have removable battery) which gives you a lot of time to find your phone.

You can obviously locate him via GPS to up a certain area, which can become smaller if Wifi is used.

If you think you are in the same room as your cellphone you could make it ring loudly.

You can activate sound recording which automatically uploads to dropbox.

You can use face detection so the phone throws a picture of the person. (No one in your apartment complex know you guys right?)

Maybe more uses but the reality is that, security apps right now are a joke when the person can just turn it off normally. While long pressing the power button obviously would turn it off I honestly think there is a huge % percentage of people completely unaware of hard power off, specially people who may steal your phone, they would probably just go around with the phone on ignoring the calls.

At least I do really feel this would be a nice feature for security apps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I use uXylon ROM for this purpose. It has the option to disable reboot menu and power off menu in the lock screen. So when I long press power button in lock screen, all I get r the ringer/vibrate options. Very handy and ensures functional use of my cerberus and androidlost app.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockworkmodsucks:
I am trying to convince my dad on the S4 instead of the S3 as our contracts with Sprint are up in June. I've already told him of all the differences in the two phones but what would be a difference that would be the selling point for him? He is coming from a HTC Evo 4G so I mean either would really be a big upgrade. Quad core vs dual core, 1080p vs 720p, Android 4.2 vs 4.1, new S features, etc.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Tell him that it has a much better screen with 1080p resolution, it has a bigger battery and show him some vids about the features like smart pause or air gesture. People go crazy for those :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j510:
Not too sure depends if hes even interested in his phone like that. And if not atleast youre getting the s4 right? For one, better battery life. hope it works out tho
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockworkmodsucks:
I will definitely be getting the S4 no worries about that. I've already mentioned all that to him. I guess he will have to use them in store and see why the 1080p screen on the S4 is just that much better. He actually doesn't like the fact that the phone watches you when watching video. lol

Hello Everyone,

I am not sure if I have been racking up massive GPRS bills by not turning it off after browsing with IE. It was pointed out to me by a friend who has a XDA1 as he always disconnects after using GPRS. I am now shutting the phone down after browsing. I have read the manual and it has no mention of closing GPRS down after browsing either.

Am I worried about nothing or should I be doing something different.

Many Thanks,

Lance

[General Questions and Answers] iamashwin:
Worried what will happen to your mails after you die Google has a solution :laugh:

Google has found a way by launching inactive account manager page that can be used as a "Digital Will". Google is asking people what they want to happen to their digital photos, documents and other virtual belongings after they die or become incapacitated.

An "Inactive Account Manager" can be used to pass information on all websites of google like Google Drive, Gmail, YouTube, or social network Google+ to a particular person after a long inactivity (or after death ). You can even set it to delete all data.

In account settings page, Google gives people the option of sharing their data with a trusted friend or family member, or having their account deleted. It even lets people specify how long to wait before taking action and sends a notification before the

"timeout" periods are ended. :rolleyes: (but if you see that mail then i think they will not delete the account and then you have to wait for another long time for it to be deleted )

Finally, Google gives users the option to effectively "burn" their account, wiping all materials from all Google properties - including public Youtube videos, Google+ profiles and Google Voice extensions.

Users can choose 3, 6, 9, or 12 months as the timeout period and Google will send a notification to the secondary email address one month before the period is set to expire.

If that time passes, any trusted contacts will receive a personal email explaining that said individual had left them the data, including instructions on how to download it.

It is a good way to dispose off your email with too many spam's but the minimum time limit is 3 months so happy waiting.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonAshman:
Hi,

I'd like to know if there's any way I can remove an specific app from the Play Store list, without uninstalling it. Or if there's a way to remove this app from the apps that are checked for updates.

The reason is that I have a Motorola Defy+ and I like the stock music player, which is just fine. There's an update called Tune Wiki which is, in my opinion, pure crap. So in order to install updates of all my other apps I have to install one by one, because I can't choose the option "update all" since it would update the music player too.

Hope I was concise and clear. Thanks in advance for your help.

can anyone give me a very precise instructional on how to flash this without using a computer? super noob here. I have 2.3.3 and a micro SD. CWM is installed. yes I Google's before posting... still don't know what I'm doing.

First off, did you NVFlash CWM or install it via ROM Manager application?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Pretty sure he initially installed via rom manager but then flashed with nvflash. If I'm recalling correctly from an earlier thread the op made
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
I couldn't remember. I get everyone confused when trying to help so many people lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
Although, just thinking, without a PC how is he going to use NVFlash?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adamiscool:
Yeah, there's no way. Unless he did use a compy to at least nvflash, then just download a rom using mobile browser onto SD card, grab a kernel, gapps if needed, and flash as usual. Done this several times using only phone, but of course the computer MUST be used for nvflash, otherwise, OP, you'll have nothing but problems.

You would know if you've used nvflash because you would have downloaded a small application to your PC, taken out the battery, pressed volume up/down simultaneously, installed APX drivers, etc etc...it's a pretty unforgettable experience.

Adam wasn't trolling you at all. From what i can see everything he said was in order to help you. You can't do anything until you nvflash cwm onto your phone. End of story. And you still haven't made it clear if you used nvflash to install cwm onto your phone from your PC

Adam did not mean anything derogatory by his comments, don't misinterpret an experienced user's comment as negative feedback.

Now on to your topic, i do not believe you can upgrade your baseband without a computer. I would use lg's upgrader tool to do that. I don't know much about it as i was originally on 2.3.4 however i know theres a sticky on it somewhere. Check all the g2x forums and their sticky sections. You will definitely need a PC to do it

[T-Mobile LG G2x] adamiscool:
Yeah sorry not trolling, just trying to get an idea where you are with the phone. What exactly are you trying to do? Upgrade to 2.3.4 stock using the LG update tool? I'm thinking you should just download v10f from this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048274

The v10f should be the 2.3.4 if I'm not mistaken, and should be flashable from cwm. Make sure to use the instructions provided on that thread. It's a stock nandroid backup, so you have to use the backup/restore menu in cwm. Not sure you have to use a PC (you might be able to do the extraction it talks about in the instructions using androzip, not sure though)...

But what is your ultimate goal by doing this? Cm7 with the right kernel works so much better.

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Thanks Adam I'm going to save nandroid back up on my PC since i lost mine. Probably a good idea to have a stock 2.3.4 hanging around anyway
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adamiscool:

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
I looked at the HTC One, but I am really thinking about a Nexus for the upgrades. Google having it's line was just the next logical step as the poor experiences spread out across so much hardware brings down the Android name, and I want the update ability over "newest hardware".

It really doesn't matter till November when I'm available for an upgrade and what's offered at the discounted rate. I'm not one of those suckers who will pay $400 for a new phone. I got this phone for $80 new after rebate and renewal contract.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
this Guy ^ says I'm on ignore list then replies to my thread -_-

anyways. my ultimate goal is:

right now I have an extended battery pack on my phone which I'm supposed to be getting 12+ hrs of usage but I'm only getting about 5 hrs due to poor design?? I've heard 2.3.4 is the best battery usage wise and I suck at flashing (ask pain n panic) last time I tried flashing a rom I bricked my phone 3 seperate times and had a very hard time unbricking it.

-my phone is super laggy on occasion even on Max overclock

-my battery life sucks shambalamba ding dong

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adamiscool:
An extended battery may not necessarily ensure good battery life. If it was cheap, it may be a worse battery than the original. Also depends on apps you have installed (whether there are rogue apps, or wakelocks going on...I actually have very little knowledge about those two things, but see them mentioned often). I can get 12+ hrs with cm7 and mazout's 323 kernel.

Have you created a thread about your trying to flash a rom and having it brick that you can point me to, or explain how you've had such bad luck with trying to flash.

Ok, so i'm attempting to flash CM7. Can yall give me the order im supposed to flash?

2.download Gapps?

3. in CWM do i click recover or install to for flashing CM7, and which order Gapps first or CM7 first

idk anything about flashing

and how do i make it to where my apps dont get deleted when flashing?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Sorry man but you gotta go read some stickes. You don't place a rom in the backup directory of cwm....that's where nandroid backups are stored. You place the rom zip on the root of your SD card. You have to do a full wipe, data factory reset, cache, dalvick cache, format /system under mounts and storage. Flash rom zip from SD card. Flash gapps. Reboot. This is a rough draft of the information you should know before flashing. Please review the stickies in the dev section.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1274998

Read them already, its not specific as to where i put the ROM on my sd card, and where i put Gapps. Could you englighten me? was i correct by putting them in the SD card folder under a new folder i named ROMs?

and SD card: are they refering to external or internal?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
and do i put the Kernal in the same folder as well
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
It does not matter where you put the ROM or gapps on the SD card. You can put them in any folder or even the root of the card as long as you can navigate to it.

Formatting system is a good idea... use cleanup tools (nullifier, cleanup batch) only if you have to. Scrubber is good as it does the data, cache and system (I believe) in one shot.

It says Can't open Cm-7-2-NIGHTLY-p999.zip (bad) installation aborted ??????

Bad copy of the zip file. Try re-downloading.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ImDarkmatter:
I just downloaded 5 different CM7's and tried them all AFTER wiping delvick cache wiping daa mounting system etc... all said bad install aborted
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Depends on which version of cwm you're using. I was using 4.0 something and SD card meant internal because that version did not support external SD card use. I'm on 5.0 something now and SD card means the root of my external SD card. You don't need to make a folder called roms. When you download anything on your phone it should go straight to the root of your SD. Placing it on root of SD makes it much easier to find in cwm

---------- Post added at 06:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

Ummm get the latest nightly from get.cm

If it still says bad install try reflashing cwm with nvflash
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adamiscool:
You don't need to mount /system. Formatting it is ok, but try without mounting.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] adamiscool:
It's mostly just you're unwillingness to research and read, research and read. None of us started as geniuses (and I am certainly still far from one). Downloading and flashing roms, kernels, etc. only takes minutes. Learning the proper way to do things by reading everything possible in order to ensure getting it right the first time will take much, much longer. I recommend you spend a few hours researching everything you can about this phone. Probably ditch the idea of doing everything using only the phone. PCs really make things a lot easier. Please stop expecting everyone to hold your hand through every little step. Sorry man.

So you have flashed CWM using nvflash and when you try to install any ROM you get an abort...
