[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dropvisor:
apply to all?

Ah...10-4, tho...would it still not apply tho, due to the fact its a general question that applies to all phones and not just the s3 even? Not that I'm arguing your point Cuz I do see your point, but its a gen question applicable to all variants. But if it does need to goto the intended forum, how would I do that. Thanx
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Well, kernel is specific to the hardware of the device. Simplistically, it communicates between the applications and hardware. So, yes, it would vary with phone version. To stay on topic, this means on my I9300 I cannot use a kernel from any of the variants you mentioned.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dropvisor:
kernel question answered

OK...perfect. I don't know why I was having such a difficult time with this one. Either way, thank you very much. Like I think I mentioned before, in the tn updater it brings up that KT kernel. I'm thinking maybe that wasn't changed when it was ported over from the Sprint version. Maybe, maybe not. I just now actually came across the Verizon version of it. Thank you for your help though, very much appreciated. Hopefully this may help someone else out to, who is still learning the ins n outs of this 'stuff' lol. Take care
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DGpro:
Hi guys this is my first time posting although I've been reading these forums for quite some time now :D

First of all i'd like to thank all the devs that work so hard for this phone. We all appreciate it immensely. :good:

Now down to business.

I've started a petition for LG and T-Mobile to release an update for the T-Mobile G2x (LG-P999).

I know this seems pretty useless at this point but hey its better to try then do nothing at all :P

I'd really appreciate it if everyone here could show there support and spread this around.

Petition: wwwchangeorg/petitions/lg-and-t-mobile-update-the-lg-g2x-lg-p999-to-android-4-x

Please also visit the lg forums and voice your opinion.

supportlgforumcom/lg/topics/g2x_owners_reply_if_you_want_android_4_0_ics_for_our_g2xs

Were bound to get noticed eventually. If it fails at least we kinda tried to put a thorn in LG's side xD

Thanks guys, please no negativity, im just trying to help us all out after all.

(BTW had to remove periods after www, change, support, and lgforum since im noob and can't post links :P)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
There is a difference between negative and realistic. IMHO it would be a waste of time considering nexus 4 and EULA for the g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DGpro:
I think doing nothing is more of a waste of time. It's really not that hard to just go and comment at least on the lg forums.

If you go to the lg forums you will find a this written by an LG employee:

RyanLG (Official Rep) 4 days ago

"Nope, those are just the crickets from another thread I recently posted. There is not much else to add to this 160+ comment thread that has been of popular topic for the past year. All I can say is the Thrill finally received a software update to fix many of it's previous hardware and software issues. Nobody saw that coming in a million years and what do you know, it happened! And ever since the complaints have subsided substantially about that particular device and the praise for it is at an all time high. I fully understand the complaints and frustration from all the G2X owners, you deserve some sort of resolution. The best thing you can do at this point is let your voice be heard whether it be here, but more so to LG customer support, the carrier or anywhere else. I will escalate this thread to the top with hopes of some sort of resolution. A similar process benefited the Thrill, so who knows."

What he said is what im doing, trying to get people to voice their opinion about the phone.

Also what he said about the LG Thrill gives me some hope.

If you don't wanna sign the petition i understand but at least go to the official lg forums and "complain".

It may be a long shot and will probably never happen but why not try at least, like RyanLG said, "who knows"?

Maybe just maybe if we get a lot of people to show their frustration and support for an upgrade a miracle will happen.

Won't know for sure unless we try is all i'm trying to say :angel:

Also, since development is practically at a stand still what else is there to do?

Rummage through xda forums everyday hoping for something new? x.x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bulletblitz27:
Maybe we can reach out to other developers with lots of experience to look at the radio problem or build Hackfest roms? We basically only have Maz left and we can't expect him to do everything for us.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] towelboy:
Maz is put through maintaining a gingerbread kernel on top of a new project that some users wanted, fixing bluetooth calling. There were some other projects maz had set put to do also. Such a nice guy but lets look at this situation realistically. This phone is a 'sunken ship'. :o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DGpro:
That'd be awesome if we could contact other devs to help with the ril issue. Problem I see there though is that I'm sure many of those devs are working hard on other projects. Plus, the ril issue is something that is really difficult to resolve (if even possible?) and Idk if more devs would even be of help at this point but nonetheless the more devs working on this phone the better.

I agree maz is super awesome! To me it seems like he's the only dev currently doing anything. Im using his latest beta kernel and my phone is not only snappy but also has awesome battery life so much props to him.

And I have accepted that this phone is a sunken ship but I will never lose hope :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xenoletum:
The phone is 2 years old at this point in the States. The end of life of the device through T-Mobile was January 2012. The hardware was pretty much a prototype version of the current Tegra 2 platform, and we'll never know the proper way to code for it. The RIL issues will never get fixed, nor did they have a shot to be fixed. If you're still on the device, you're either like me and too poor to afford an upgrade, or somehow stuck in a deal for the phone. If you used an EIP through T-Mo, you can pay it back early instead of monthly and get yourself a new one on the plan.

In the end it comes down to knowing exactly what phones are going to be popular for developers. Nexus devices and the Galaxy line are where you want to be if you want good support. That's where all the action is and will be for some time. The HTC One shows some promise, but with AT&T locking the bootloader, that's one less carrier brand that can be unlocked.

Pick wisely and don't bother with this stuff. Getting your hopes up will only cause you more anger when the truth comes around.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mbamg:
"The hardware was pretty much a prototype version of the current Tegra 2 platform, and we'll never know the proper way to code for it."

Interesting. Are you saying that the entire Optimus 2X line of phones was not based on the Tegra 2 platform used on other phones, but rather an incomplete prototype (probably because they were rushing it to market), or that this is only true for the G2X (aka P999), hence the differences between it and the other models?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KryptosXLayer2:
Is everyone still in contract from the SIII or something? I remember the forums blowing up with discussion of when the SIII was going to be released, all the retailers carrying it and when they picked up their pre-orders, etc etc.... What's up, XDA, are we all asleep at the wheel here or is this phone just not going to be a success like the SIII was? I hate seeing a good device not being appreciated, but man, I'm hearing crickets chirping over here!

Hopefully when it releases, we'll have a ton of development just like there was with the SIII, but we're not even seeing root yet for the I337 - we had root a week before the I747 was released, and I rooted that sucker the day I got it home, launch day! I'm telling you, it's almost not worth having if we can't root it or there won't be anyone theming the S4.....

What is UP, XDA?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hamzer11:
You may be right about the contract thing. If most people picked up the S3 in June (I believe), they wouldn't be eligible for upgrade yet. I'm feeling the same as you are about the hype but it will pick up once the phone is out and available. The other thing is that many consider this a Apple style "S" iteration of the phone. Software tweaks mostly so if you recently put down for the S3 and/or have the option of getting the S3 at a very low price, more people might lean that way. Specially if you consider how much development there is already on S3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KryptosXLayer2:
Yeah, my upgrade isn't available since I used it on the SIII, but I'm stealing one from another account I manage and the authorized user on, so you're right, but isn't it a good thing that Samsung is coming up with new tech sooner than later? I just hate that this is being looked at a negative thing, to update the phones faster than once a year....

God, isn't that the worst thing possible, for the S4 / SIII to be compared to the iThing 4S / 4? I don't see the S4 being just a slight upgrade to the SIII, I think there's a lot of redeeming features that made me want to upgrade.... I see your point and have heard the same thing about the S model update, but I'm happy that I'm moving up from the SIII, there's a lot left to be desired on the SIII

Oh well, #firstworldproblems, haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TemporaryTester:
I think my upgrade comes comparatively early, since I'm on an ancient, grandfathered, 18-month upgrade cycle per two-year contract... One of my other lines got an S3 at launch, but they are not eligible to upgrade to the S4 yet.

Meanwhile, I'll be happily burning my upgrade this June.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RTBee:
I agree, there doesn't seem to be as much hype this time around. But I know a lot of people jumped on the S3 and it could be a contract thing. That's what happened to me. But I had decided back then that when the time came (and that time is now) I'll be adding an additional line. That way I can get the S4 (for contract price) and then next year when my S3 is up, I can upgrade to the S5. It basically costs around $10/mo for the ability to trade up each year. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KryptosXLayer2:
That's quite a bit of money to spend just to get a new phone every year, but I hate it when people tell me how to spend my money, so I'm not gonna do that to you - I just manage a bunch of accounts since no one knows a damn thing about phones, and switch out upgrades so I can always get a new phone when they're available, I have two upgrades to use right now if I wanted to, but I like saving one in case of an emergency.... you know, someone drops their phone and doesn't want to pay the full $600+ for a replacement!

I just saw this come through on Twitter:

Overwhelming Demand for the Galaxy S4 Causing Inventory Issues with Samsung

pretty interesting read, nothing special, but at least it isn't this disaster I'm over here thinking it is.... there were only TWO pre-orders at my local BBY! The girls there told me that a lot of people have come in asking about it, and when prompted to make a pre-order for only $50 that they can use later on something else if they don't end up going with the S4, they all declined - cheap bastards!! Here I go again shopping out of my own wallet..... :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fix-this!:
Ive said since day 1 i dont see alot of hype for the s4. I do think development might be better on the international models.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SysAdmNj:
Less hype hopefully means more available on launch day. I just tried the htc one and didnt like it, didnt wow me at all. I was going to stick with my nexus 4 until the nexus 5 but then read google will soon anounce the new nexus 4 with different radios and no signs of a nexus 5 so I believe for now s4 will do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] geoldr:
Yep definitely not as much hype. I bought my S3 off contract, and now the S4 I am getting on contract. Just gonna walk into the store on the 27th and pick it up, seriously doubt they will be sold out, or even a line or anything close.

Hopefully its not like the Note 1 launch. I came in day 1 of release and they were like what is a Note? We haven't heard of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KryptosXLayer2:
Hah, I hope not, but by now, if they don't know what the 4th iteration of the Galaxy line is, they probably shouldn't work in a mobile department.....

Good luck finding one on launch day, but if you do, post your results and let us know how many your store had in stock - I don't think stores are getting tons of them, but not many people pre-ordered, so you might be right!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] geoldr:
Eh I actually changed my mind about going to the store. I'll just order it through the phone. :P I seem to be pretty busy this weekend and I am in no rush to get this one. Its prtty much same thing as my s3!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KryptosXLayer2:
Don't say that! Or at least don't let the iSheep hear you say it! This is NO "Galaxy S III S" damnit...... :p

Stop necro posting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
I'm not necro posting - I am contributing my opinion to a thread that either hasn't been touched or I had relevant input. The only attempt to necro post here was your reply. Thanks anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ~wolverine~:
Obviously trying to up his post count.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
You have brought back multiple threads that were dead for at least 2 to 4 months. Regardless of your input, it is necroposting.

Your post that brought this back had no valid information. You have contributed nothing. Congratulations on outing yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] j510:
Well everyone here does say search instead of creating similar topics. Now the same people are contradicting themselves by saying not to post on an old topic. The irony
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Lol

His post was completely unnecessary. It was not asking a question, it was not contributing any new found or valid information, it was completely pointless.

Yes, use the search function for finding information. Doesn't mean one needs to post on a old dead thread. When we say "don't necro" we mean don't bring back anything that is a couple months old. When we say don't make a new thread involving something that has been said, we mean don't post a new thread that is answered in any of the stickies or within the first few pages. The other day, there were 5 posts on the first page with people asking if they could put a custom recovery on MF3 and 5 more about people bricking by trying to put one on MF3. Do you understand?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
You can't be serious. There is a difference between "searching and reading" and bringing back old threads just to post something in them that doesn't contribute at all. Even posting information into an old thread with a resolution to a problem or a valid update is OK, but this guy added nothing to a thread that was just speculation (but appropriate for that time) to begin with.

How did FourPointedFreak's post in this thread seem necessary or helpful to anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] j510:
You act like this thread was necessary to begin with. Hype on a phone? cmon now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
It's weird how that works isn't it, irony indeed.

The problem here is, this thread wasn't posted looking for information or needing help. It was a thread asking complete opinion. Regardless of when it was started or when I replied, it was not locked/closed and I was adding my opinion. Therefore, I was CONTRIBUTING to the thread and the desired information they were seeking.

That's not necro posting. That's me finding threads with stuff I have an opinion or input on.

What if someone had just bought an S4 and wondered why there wasn't as much hype. They get on the XDA forums and search to maybe find an answer. They see this thread and notice someone else wondering the same exact thing - difference is, they don't know if it's changed. My reply would give them their informative answer that the hype and build of the S 4 fanbase has grown, JUST BY ME COMING BACK AND ADDING MY INPUT, I care.

Thanks though.

By the few of you 'attacking' me and saying i'm necro posting and not contributing to the thread - you have totally gone astray from the topic posted and have made this thread totally irrelevant now. I put in my opinion, as the original post asked for. You guys have now ruined the thread and it should be locked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Bottom line. Necroposting is spamming. The topic died 4 months ago. You have brought back multiple threads that were dead. They were dead for one reason or another. When you bring a thread back, that is clutter. Those threads normally have no relevant information from the start or are no longer relevant to current events. Honestly this is one of those threads that really has no relevant information. Your input gave absolutely nothing to it or any beneficial information to anyone on the forums. Stating the obvious is less than useful in every way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
This thread was looking for an opinion. You can't say my input had no benefit but it's my opinion. That's exactly what an opinion is.

I don't understand what you're failing to understand - if the thread was 'dead', it wouldn't been locked/closed, or deleted. It still being there, I saw it on the very first page of the discussion board and decided to add into it. That's not spamming if I am still ABLE TO POST TO IT.

lol you've made this irrelevant now, so hats off to you.

I just wanted to talk about the lack of hype over the S4 and it's been turned into a debate over necro posting and opinion. Seems kind of asinine in my OPINION!
