[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] JJ Chuckles:
My rooted KFHD refuses to detect my headphones. Music plays fine on the dual Dolby speakers(kudos Amazon), but when I use my headphones(both the around ear and in ear types), the sound still comes out of the normal speakers. I have rebooted several times, both with the headphones in and out whilst rebooting. This hasn't been a problem until an hour or so ago. In fact, the headphones were fine last night. It sounds like software problems which leads me to mention that my multitouch isn't quite right either. The mulitouch seems to go crazy when I ply Minecraft or GTA 3, among others. Anything you guys can tell me?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] ZTEBlade0:
I have the LG 4x for some time now and i am wondering how to go about with it. I have certain questions, maybe knowledgeable people can answer them.

-I bought the phone with the German 10c firmware. I am now thinking of applying the European 10h one. When i click "software update" from the phone, it says no update available. When i click it from the LG pc suite, it says, the 10h is available, but does not give more information on which 10h it is. I also have downloaded the firmware from the internet, so i am wondering which is the safest, easiest, most certain procedure, to apply the updated firmware. I still have not rooted my phone. And what i have not figured out yet, is, DOES UPDATING THE FIRMWARE MEAN FACTORY RESET? Or is it more like a software update, where it just updates things needed to be updated, not touching anything else?

-Is it possible, if i root the phone, to unroot it, using a reverse procedure? You know, if the need for using the warranty arises.

-It really bothers me, the new type of file system with this android version. I ve been using the 2.3 before i got the phone, which requires, just a backup with clockworkmod and a copy of the external sd and you re done. Now, i don't know which is the best method to backup my phone. ALL apps, except for a couply of offline maps apps, install in the INTERNAL memory of the phone, all game data, etc, which has nearly filled half my phones internal memory so far. I understand that the only solutions to this, are root, and Directory Bind, and one other app i don't recall the name now. So, thats two reasons to root the phone, moving apps to sd, and using Titanium Backup with root, for backup. So the question is, what other option do i have for backup, WITHOUT root?

Everything else works great, good hardware on this phone!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] L2Deliver:
All of your question was answered. don't be lazy
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ZTEBlade0:
Maybe they have been answered at some post in some thread, but i have no way of finding the exact post!

Why dont you help a fellow smartphoner and answer me here, if you know the answer?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mmm273:
1 - if you update via official SW it maybe leave data untouched and only update system

2- to unroot just reflash SW (via lgflashtool for example)

3- LGs backup app...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] skryptus:
You have a search feature in the forum, which you can use.

And the reason some of us don't answer questions that have been repeatedly asked and answered is that, if we do, we say that it's OK to open a thread to ask a question that's easilly answered.

But I'll do you a bit of a favor: I'll tell you WHERE you can find the information, and I'll even answer one of the questions (the last) since, regardless of having seen it asked and answered a few times before, I'm not able to direct you to the right place where this sort of question has been asked and answered.

If you want to update it through flashing the .kdz, you should find that information in the respective thread, as it not only refers the correct method, but also the consequences.

This information can be found, as it turns out, in the two possible threads for rooting the LG 4X (one for ICS and one for JB). I'll give you a bit more help, as the threads aren't in the same sub-forum - the one for JB is in the General Forum, the one for ICS is in the Development Forum.

Most backup programs don't care where you've installed your apps. That said, if you don't want to root your mobile, the only option you have is the LG Backup app. I'm not sure if it saves and recovers every bit of data (meaning the saves of your games and other information you may have configured into your apps), but it's your best bet for a root-less 4X.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ZTEBlade0:
It "MAY" leave data untouched??? In computers, this word is not supposed to be used, either it WILL, or it will NOT. So you re telling me it will be an unstable procedure if i update via the official Software?

Great. So you re saying too, that the only backup option a non rooted user has is not even to be trusted. If it will not save apps data, its useless then. What am i supposed to do, play all games over again?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mmm273:
No, i used maybe , because i only flashing via LG flash tool and it erase all data ... but i THINK official update MAY leave data ( like on xperias phones)

its hard to root it, make complete backup and then flash it ? if answer is yes, dont go to upgrade...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ZTEBlade0:
No, if there is a procedure, i ll follow it and root it, i am just thinking, that i read that 4.1 will have a DIFFERENT rooting procedure, so i was thinking to wait, upgrade to 4.1 and THEN root it.

I am now backing up for the first time from within the phone app, see how it goes.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ZTEBlade0:
Well, the backup is over, just about 1.3gb. Strange, the internal memory is full up to about 6.5gb. I don't understand WHAT exactly it backed up! It said it will back up "app data", along with other stuff (contacts, call log, etc.). I have no idea what it backed up from the Apps. Left more confused than before!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mmm273:
maybe that backup is justl ike you backup via CWM - backup system and data, and this lg backup tool make data backup... so you backup all of your internal storage to PC (before that make backup of contants and messages) try update , and after that run restore ...

or you can root, backup, flash, root again, restore...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] skryptus:
Official method leaves stuff untouched. It warns you it will erase the data, but from what I've heard, it doesn't. Although, everyone is advising for you to do a factory format after you update it, as it solves a lot of slowdowns and other possible incompatibility problems.

Please stop putting words into other people's mouths. I said I'm not sure. I myself haven't used the app. Other users have been mentioned having used it (but then again you'd know that if you went to the trouble of looking around a bit), so I think it would be a viable alternative, but I won't vouch for it and/or its abilities because I have no experience with it.

Point is, if you don't want to use root, you lose the ability of writing into the /data folders (and some times even correctly reading from it). If LG, by some bending of those rules, made it so you can, count yourself lucky. If they didn't, you can't really blame them - it's Google's OS (who IMO should have come up with a decent Backup solution a long time ago).
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ZTEBlade0:
I did a backup using the LG app. So it said it backs up "application data, contacts, etc". Ok. The size is just 1.8gb. The used space in internal memory is 9gb. So i don't understand WHAT exactly it backed up from the applications. Everything EXCEPT for the "sd data" of games?

So i would do a firmware update, then a factory reset, to have the new firmware installed, CLEAN, then restore my backup. Right? So after the factory reset, it will have wiped ALL applications, deleted them from the internal memory? Is that correct? So i would use the 1.8gb restore, and what will it give me from my 9+gb applications (games, etc) that i have now?

Or, do i have to COPY all "sd data" files from the internal memory to PC, and restore the 1.8gb backup AND re-copy the "sd data" files of games and applications, back to internal memory?

Is there a way to watch CPU or I/O demand of applications on the android. It's pretty obvious when one app goes rogue, but what if you phone isn't totally slowed, but something is off. Any way to help identify which apps. require the more resource to then consider removal?

Do you expect people prove that they have done hours of searching on the site before posting a question?

BTW, your search suggestion didn't even address my question.

My question has to do with rogue applications that slow down my phone, I'm not looking for applications that drain the battery.

I'm assuming the apps resource utilization:. Memory, CPU, Network or other is the root cause. Some apps could potentially cause

phone sluggishness without killing the battery; constant network pinging or other buggy behaviors.

For example: I've learned that the issue may have to do with android memory management, in general it's apparently slow.

This would make sense because I've loaded quite a bit of applications on my phone by using link2sd. I was expecting a performance boost now that I've moved the majority of my applications off of the phone and freeing up internal phone storage. However, this hasn't helped.

I'm not just looking for apps, but also suggestions or tips and tricks on how to figure phone performance issues...

Mike

Now had you made your OP such a post then my reply may have been different or I wouldn't have replied at all, but even so, Android isn't new and searching is going to give you better answers by reading what's been posted before which you seem to have been doing, which only takes you so far. Have you tried build.prop or init.d scripts to try and speed things up?

Noticing a few problems. With the new pac

Cm10 themes don't stick for the status bar. Switching menus causes colors to default green.

SD card randomly unmounting. I have reverted back to cm7 due to this. SD card never has problems on cm7.

And dpi changing only works in Landscape.

Quick question, any chance we can get a contacts app with facebook fix integrated?

I'm in the same boat as you in regards to the dev. forum. I had a small issue as well and I'm not sure if it was just me or what. When I flashed PAC3, I used the goo.im app to find the appropriate gapps for the phone, and it (several times) found the 4.1.2 version from October 2012. This caused the process, com.google.startup (I think) to crash as well as the setup wizard. The only fix was to pull the battery, boot into recovery, and start again with the 4.2.2 gapps in his thread. Maybe a quick note in the OP about not using goo.im or fix for goo.im to find the correct gapps would be helpful. I figured goo was third party so its probably not an issue Chilly can fix.

All that said. I've been DDing your roms for a couple of months now and they work wonderfully. No lag of death, good battery life, and all the features as advertised. As soon as I can post in the dev forum I'll be sending many thanks your way. I very much appreciate your dedication to the dinc2!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] FordNate:
In order for a theme to stick it nerds to be aokp as well as cm10.1. Try the cobalt themes. Sticky real good.

The SD card issue is easy. Its the read ahead speed set at boot. Make sure set at boot is checked. Worked for me.

FB doesn't like open source platforms so much. They like to stick with sense. I know sucks to be us. As far as I know no way to get em yet.

Don't trust goo its in the op which gapps to use n even has a link.

Hope this helped.

I just wanted to let people know what was going on because I do some app development and am pretty well versed in the world of android, despite the fact that I've never developed roms or anything like that. I've read everything in the thread and it was just a bit unclear that goo might not do the job, and for others that don't realize to grab the gapps from the op, I just wanted to clarify. Thanks again for both of your great work and dedication to this device! :highfive:

I plan to change the smartphone, and I have some ideas on my next smartphone I want to choose and I solicits your opinion on this choice, I wish to have constructive answers please.

I want a smartphone that is either Xiaomi MI-2S or the the samsung galaxy S3.

Your opinion?

Thank you in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
Go for mi-2 if you want to be stuck with miui, as xiaomi didn't released kernel sources. S3 will give you more freedom in roms to choose from
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] radnou974:
But level performance the mi2 is more strong than the Samsung galaxy s3, and more low level of price.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
maybe it is, but you can't install anything else than miui on it, because there is no other rom for this phone... why don't you try nexus 4? it have really great dev support (better than s3) and is cheaper than s3 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hsay:
Nothing beats nexus 4 yet! But unfortunately its availability is extremely like low

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
And there's no cm10.1, aokp or anything other than miui... If you love it, then go for it. I'd rather save up for something else, or wait for nexus 5 (should be out in 3, 4 months)

*edit: not that I have something against miui, specific-wise mi-2s is awesome phone, but the fact that xiaomi is holding back on kernel sources, is preventing any serious development, and this me no gusta...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] huzaifasays:
Yeah true, The development for Nexus , S3 etc. is much more vast and great ROMs like Parandroid, MIUI, CM10 everything is available. :thumbup:

why don`t wiat and buy galaxy 4 or samsung galaxy nuxes ???

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] F4uzan:
Yeah, but it's really closed source. I like MI2S is because the price, you can overclock a Nexus 4 to get processor performance like MI2S.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] radnou974:
but with no tweak you get better performance as a nexus 4 overclocked, which can be broked.

So if i compare the Nexus 4 and the Xiaomi MI2-S without hesitation i take xiaomi.

Well, it's your choice. You won't regret MI2-S, it's cheap, fluid of features, blazing performance and also, PRE-ROOTED !
