[LG Optimus 4X HD] Chrsp:
I've spent the best part of all morning trying to flash v20A, and I don't know what to do anymore.

I've tried both the method which uses LG official software, and an LG hack so that you can update using the official lg pc suite, and tried all morning, following all instructions to the letter, and it never worked. Then i tried the other, the regular method, using the update tools, and again I followed half a dozen very similar tutorials to the letter, each time trying the same thing, and it still never worked. The phone is fine, it is showing the S/W Upgrade, the drivers are installed, and yet, every time I get stuck here:

This has been going on for more than an hour, and I've tried tons of times. WIndows 7 64-bit. DOn't know what I'm doing wrong can someone help me please?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
For me one thing worked perfectly:

LG PC Suite has something like a recovery for our devices

built in (somewhere in Extras or Tools or smth. like that).

It downloads and installs the latest official V20A for your device.

Try it and report back :)

EDIT: If the tools always get stuck on unpacking kdz try reinstalling them (+drivers)

and download another V20A.kdz. Maybe there's something wrong with them.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Chrsp:
Can you please give me the link to the best drivers :) ? And the best link for the kdz file, to make sure im getting the best there is and that they really work! :)

Hello again! I just tried again, I used the drivers from this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php? p=38907170&postcount=1450

and for the kdz this: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGP880/ANEUBK/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz

It's still not working! still stuck there :(!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
Did you try to reinstall your LG Tools?

And you can find your latest (working) kdz + drivers here:

[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Did you install "msxml"? Look like the tool can't unpack the kdz...

Search for updates in windows update, re-start your PC.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] k00zk0:
I hacked this together with a Galaxy Nexus originally, but it would apply to almost any device. Looking to apply the same idea to a sgs3 now...

I ordered some cheap extended batteries from fleabay. Wanting to avoid using the big back cover, and wanting to keep a case on the phone, the only way is to not use the back at all, and simply wear the case over the battery!

Here it gets questionable: I peeled the sticker off the entire outside of the battery, and noticed there is a mm thick plastic sheet on both sides of the two-cell package. Easily peeling these off, you're left with two cells stuck together, bordered by a plastic frame that extends the length and width of the battery to fit the battery bay snugly. This border was now thicker than the two cells themselves, so I gently cut this material off, leaving only a bit at the top where the contacts are, as this black frame stabilizes the PCB to the battery cell. Since the battery will now move around within the battery bay, some material of some sort should be used to pad it to the edges of the bay, I actually carefully glued strips of the original black border on, cut down so they don't extend the battery's thickness as they do with the labels removed from the cells.

What you're left with is a protrusion on the back of your phone only a few millimeters larger than the size of the standard battery and back cover, but extended battery run time. I now wrapped a TPU case over the whole thing, noticing the edges of the case were pulled off of the frame, so volume buttons wouldn't line up. Taking the trusty blowdrier to the case (oh digitizer repairs) it was heated sufficiently to allow the case to be pulled hard against the corner of a metal desk, stretching the back out slightly. This was repeated until the back of the case fit around the extended battery snugly.

What are you thoughts on this?

Mind you, be extremely careful when cutting material off of the battery, as the first one I tried to modify (cutting the plastic border frame thickness down) was totally unknowingly and invisibly pierced by my razor blade, making one of the cells stop working. A faint smell of lithium battery leakage gave it away. Keeping sharp things away from the (very thin) metal cells and not bending the bare cells will ensure the battery works as it should, capacity wise.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mauer1:
Well my only concern is the safety of it all. Do the plastic sheets you cut off actually serve a purpose? Such as heat dissipation or something to that effect
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JK100:
cheap china extended battery with commuter otterbox

I have done this mod also and haven't had any bad side effects. I peeled off the stickers and used my dremel to grind down the plastic on side off sides of the battery. I then cut the silicone in the otter-box so it would give me more room, with the battery cover removed and I then put the hard outside cover on. Its already snug with box but it feels good now after few weeks of use. ill post a pic of battery a lil later. But yeah its cheap way to get extended battery power with slim otter box cover instead of defender or buying the 60$ battery
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockfreak:
hello guys ,i want to ask if someone can explain this to me.

Nexus 4 records videos at 1080p in mpeg4 with 12Mbps

Movies we download etc are 1080p in mkv with 3-6 Mbps

The question is why do movies in mkv look so much better ??..is it a compression/container issue ?

Thanks !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Because the camera is crap..IMO.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockfreak:
besides that looking at the info from the 2 videos, theoretically nexus recordings must look better.

but i'm pretty sure i'm missing something significant in this comparison that's why i asked if someone who has more knowledge on this, can give me an explanation ...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
The camera lens, and light sensors are no where near the quality of Hollywood cameras. The bitrate supports the quality but the camera can never deliver it. Its like the megapixel fight with still cameras. A 3 megapixel camera with a great lens and iso sensor can completely blow away a compact 14 megapixel camera with only so so hardware.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockfreak:
thanks man ! i guess we can blame the crappy lens for this one :) ...i think this explains why s3 or htc one x videos are looking way better despite having a lower bit rate than nexus 4 videos ....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kekinash:
Exactly the lens and camera sensor quality is more important than the pixel account. I saw to many cheap 14 mega pixel cameras pictures that are worst than good 3 mega pixel pictures took with good old cameras. My Nexus 4 doesn't beat my old Pantech Element pictures...On the PC you see the differences.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alangrig:
You cant compare. Such type of compare is irrelevant.

Movies are captured with professional cameras like RedOne at 4k resolution without heavy compression in raw format, further being processed and compressed by professional encoding softwares and so on...

Nexus 4 uses commercial consumer compression algorithm on the way, thus the output result is obviously worse.

That's is one of the major differences.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluefirex:
Hey everyone,

I have some really weird problems with my GSM Galaxy Nexus. It goes crazy since wednesday. EVERY app I start takes several minutes to finally be usable, the phone itself needs many minutes to boot up, the UI is laggy as if you were running Windows 8 on 300 MHz and it randomly reboots.

I tested:

Cyanogenmod 10.1 (Nightly)

Cyanogenmod 10.1 M3

Stock 4.2 without root

(Stock 4.1 with root) - works now but randomly reboots after a few hours

The stock ones do work for about 2 hours then the problems begin. On CM the problems begin after booting for the first time.

What can I do?

EDIT:

Because my phone hats me it deleted ALL my data. Now I don't have backups from TWRP, Pictures, SMS, etc. GREAT. Why do I even unpack stock images and flash them manually so data does NOT get lost... -.-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluefirex:
I still can't get 4.2 to run. Stock 4.1 runs pretty good but ANY 4.2-ROM just keeps crashing or rebooting.

So, Google search led me to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1896161

After looking in the zip and seeing that there was nothing life threatening, I went ahead and flashed it over hatka (with Xperia launcher keyboard and walkman installed prior. It actually worked to my surprise. Some of the widgets came up in current Xperia launcher that is included in hatka but not Timescape. The launcher in the zip works and so does Timescape with that launcher but the launcher seems to be off center and shrunken on our screen, which makes sense since it is a port for a phone with a higher resolution than our HOX. Seems like this would be a simple fix for someone with skill in the department. Anyways, I'd live to use the Timescape widgets. Anyone care to port it the rest of the way or point me in the right direction of how to do this myself? Like I said shadvance!simple since it's 90% done and just needs the resolution corrected. Thanks in advancea
[One (M7) General] Gunner86:
Anybody else seeing that even if your phone is plugged in it will continue discharging if you are using it?
[One (M7) General] t0mke11y:
Isn't this always the case? My understanding is that the phone is always powered by the battery and not the plug. If your using the phone and using more power than the charger is supplying then the phone will discharge accordingly. Could be wrong but that's always how I thought it worked.
[One (M7) General] Gunner86:
This is the first phone I've had that discharges when being used and pluhed in....
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
What's your battery life like? You may have some issues with software maxing out the CPU.

Anyway, the One X battery can run out when using navigation software and on car charger (maybe 0.5A).

What are you using the phone for when it is discharging? Also, are you using stock AC charger or car charger?
[One (M7) General] Gunner86:

[One (M7) General] ScudMuffin:
I ran into that when I was using a under rated charger or just plugged into a USB port. Official chargers (or equivalent) didn't have that problem it was slower if I was constantly using it while charging, but it did it.
[One (M7) General] skr_xd:
Playing games, navigate, heavy tasks - looses percentage.

Browsing,messaging, mailing,etc - The battery charges.
[One (M7) General] Absolut`:
Mobile charging.

I believe this is correct. Whenever I used my Lumia 920 for gps+music on a cheap car charger, it would always discharge faster than it would charge. This is because 1) 12V-car/usb chargers charge at a slower rate than AC chargers and 2) some cheaper car chargers output even lower than normal USB charging rates.

Shopping for a new mobile/car charging solution for my Asus TF300T (gonna use for GPS.. tethered to my HTC One) and my HTC One, i ended up getting this multi-use charger. Initially, i was going to get this high power charger just for usb (which is the first charger on amazon i've seen to output 18 W / 3.6 A), but wanted a more unified solution that I could plug both my One and TF300t into. Because I'll be using the tablet for GPS+music, I can tuck the phone away charging at a tolerable rate. Oh, a direct 12v car charger to HTC One will charge the fastest if that's what you're looking for.

Hi,

Just wondering what other peoples experiences are ....

If I turn my HBH-35 BT headset off, or go out of range it takes ages for it to bond back with the XDAII, the first calls made don't go to headset and the little bubble 'bluetooth headset is on' does not appear.

After about 5 mins it bonds and the bubble pops up even if not in a call !!!!!!!!

I purchased 2 XDA II's and 2 HBH-35's at the same time and the other set works fine ! and I don't think any settings are different!

Any thoughts ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Zer0:
Well. I heard that there are two versions of the HBH-35, revision R1A and R1B. The following quote was taken from http://alphanet.zoovy.com/product/HBH35 in reguards to their stock of HBH-35's. (Where I bought mine, and have no problems with yet.)

"All headsets are Revision R1B. The R1B revision is an improvement over Revision R1A, which has a higher defective rate than Revision R1B"

Maybe you got one of each in your order?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] fishmedia:
Ahhh ....... well both of them are R1A :(

Hi guys, need some clarification please

Have had my M7 for a few weeks now. I unlocked the bootloader and 'perm rooted' using the toolkit. It still has the stock rom on it.

I am trying to remove the root but I have read conflicting information.

1. I have managed to relock the bootloader (shows RELOCKED and TAMPERED) so does this mean I cannot put a stock ROM back on to unroot it? Do I need to unlock it, put on stock ROM and then relock it?

2. I looked at Mike1986's stock ROM but it has issues with installing paid apps. So, is there any other ROM I can use to return to stock?
