[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bernardoko:
I have found this thread, but is about SGS3.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1882467

I can't find what kind of display we have in our W I8150.

In every tech spec says:

Maybe someone can explain what type of display is in the phone.

And what Theme is best for battery life, Dark or Light?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vklexer:
i think this goes only for amoled since leds light up when they need to. Our wonder has tft lcd, so this doesnt work for it if im correct
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] thearif:
That is true. Our phone has an LCD display which requires a constant backlight on all the time when the display is ON. However LED displays such as AMOLED used in higher samsung models, use individual backlights (LEDs) and only lights up the pixels that are being used whenever you see something on the display. So for black colors, LEDs are OFF so you get great BLACKS...

So it does not matter whether you use light or dark theme in galaxy w. It will use same amount of battery even if everything is black on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] bernardoko:
TNX :good:

Finaly I undestand that is no mather Dark or Light theme, so I'll keep my Light theme.

I just checked my phone using "eMMC Brickbug Check" by "Vinagre" (available on Google Play Store) and it turns out that I have an insane chip.

Screenshot attached.

I know that Android 4.1.2 is supposed to fix this issue as it somehow prevents from phone to go into "Sudden Death" but still that doesn't change the fact that the chip in my phone is faulty. Plus people with Android 4.1.2 XXELLA still are experiencing brick bug!! There are tons of posts all over the internet to prove that. I have just 2 months of warranty left and sure my phone is working fine now, but there is no guarantee that it will continue to do so even after the warranty is over. What happens if my phone dies after it's out of warranty? I'll be screwed, right? What do you guys think I should do? Would Samsung Care acknowledge the result from an app & change my chip or offer me a replacement?

Please help me ASAP. I'll be very very grateful to you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
No, they won't fix it as there is nothing wrong - yet.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
absolutely nothing you can do
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:

Thank you for your prompt replies. I guess I'm just a sitting duck now. :'(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
The fix for the SDS is not in the Firmware but inside the Kernel. So you could use the newest Firmware but if your Kernel is not SDS Fixed then you still can have the SDS easily. I`ve seen a lot of cases where people used a firmware that they thought is safe but if you ask them what kernel they used you often get a reply that they used some outdated kernel like Siyah 1.8.6 which has not the Samsung fix for the SD included.

I don`t know of any solid case where a Sudden Death occurred where people were using a fixed Kernel.

Also sometimes you have cases where people first experienced the Sudden Death Syndroms like a lot of freezing or sudden reboots and then they decide to come to XDA and afterwards they flash a fixed kernel in hope that this will fix the problem(s) but then it`s often already to late. If you already have the symptoms chances are good that your phone will die anyway.

However if you know a case where the user had no symptoms at all and were using a fixed Kernel then please post a link to it because such a case is of big importance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
firmware includes the kernel
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Yes, but many people flash custom Kernels after they flash a Sammy Firmware.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
Well, it is true that many peoples are removing their car security and safety devices.

so what? There are two alternatives:

1. They know what they are doing and what, therefore they are considering the risk;

2. They are do not know what they are doing. In this case, bricking their phone is hard, but only way to learn.

The choice is yours, boys and girls.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jprentzas:
I thing that you can buy warranty time but I am not completely sure about that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winol:
first, that your phone has the faulty chip, does not imply that our phone is going certainly going to die, if that was true, there would be millions of dead devices around the world, and that is not the case, as many things of life, it is a matter of luck, if its going to happen it will, if not, it wont, many users reported the issue at 5 or 6 months of use, if you pass this time period, chances are at your favor, mine is 6 months old, at the 2nd month I became aware of the sudden death issue, and flashed a rom and kernel with the fix, now, I think m PHONE IS OUT OF TROUBLE, i HAVE 7 months left of warranty period, so, dont torture yourself, use your device, and think of the best
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
From all that I've read about SDS you can hopefully avoid it altogther by using the latest firmware, even with the old firmware it seemed to happen more often to those who charged their phones overnight or got them too hot - although some failures seemed to be totally random.

I've always charged my batteries in an external charger, have power saving mode on and point an A/C outlet at the phone if used in the car windscreen to navigate. As a result it is always cool to the touch, electronics hate high temps - even 10 degrees higher than 'normal' can halve the lifespan of standard components, the memory chips in these phones are far from standard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikhil18:
If you are too scared of SDS you can hard brick your phone and then give the phone to the service center so they will replace the insane chip free of cost
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
Lol, far from standard? :P

Anyways, thank you for your reply but that's just a workaround, not a fix. I'm planning to keep this phone for another 2 years and if the chip is faulty, there's a very high chance that it'll fail sometime in the near future and I can't afford to change the whole motherboard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
If you use a Kernel with the fix then the chance is not very high. In fact until this day I haven't seen a solid case where a S3 with the fix died all of a sudden. While before the fix devices were dying left and right.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
no, that's a felony
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
I was always wondering, isn`t it also a kind of felony to reset the flashing counter via Triangle Away and then to play dumb if you get your phone hard bricked some time later?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
if it was your fault and you claim it bricked by itself, then yeah, that's also insurance fraud, which is a felony
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
Yeah I thought so too,

haha I know so many cases here at XDA where people bricked their phones and many people just advised them to bring it to the service centre and to play dumb, so that they say that suddenly their phone wouldn't turn on.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
Couldn't agree more with both of you. It's a felony, everyone is aware of that, but lots of people still do it, because at the end of the day, all they want is their phone back. Fully working. :)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] jtragna:
EDIT: LG HAS PAUSED THE UPDATE DUE TO POOR BATTERY LIFE AND APP FORCE CLOSES...

It should be arriving soon according to the page! Here is the pic,

IF ANYONE HAS RECIVED THIS UPDATE PLEASE POST THAT YOU HAVE RECIVED IT...

PEOPLE WHO HAVE RECIVED THE UPDATE PLEASE TELL US IF YOU WERE ROOTED, and share all the new goodies that come with it :)

According to Mars11_, T-Mobile is updating by manufacture date.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] melcali:
Even though our p769 was at the end of the line of other L9 variants, for a phone that was just released at the end of last year, 4.1 came pretty fast. Good job LG. Sucks for HTC One S owners on T-Mobile:(

Personally, I went to the software update screen on the phone and it is not coming up that there is a update available...
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] melcali:
Usually they release it in waves so servers don't crash. If anyone can provide a manual download link that'll be cool...

Not to sound like I'm complaining but.. kind of amusing how we're happy with a version of Android that's been out for almost a year already. I'm glad to see that LG is providing a pretty quick update for a non flagship device. Can't wait to try some Google Now action :)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
If you receive this update please upload the zip file for everyone else before applying it. The file should be located on the internal SD.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] isaiahhhhh:
I called T-Mobile and got in contact with a tech, according to them the roll out begins tomorrow and, if this guy knew what he was talking about, people with straight talk sims will also be getting the OTA update.

LG themselves say today. It shows in the image, today's date and prerequisites.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] isaiahhhhh:
I'm guessing that given the update is specifically for the T-Mobile L9 variant T-Mobile decided to push the update back a day, I don't think LG can control when it goes out over T-Mobiles network.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] donk165:
Congrats guys, this means pretty much all L9s have a 4.1 update now. I'm sure P778 will be next.

Hopefully more revisions come out for the P768, the V20A is our only version and it's bloated.

LG support is wrong, we already have a few confirmed updates. I doubt they'll pull the update once it's already rolled out.

Correct, any way I can properly prove it to you that it is here I will do what I can... I am still going to attempt to figure out what I can do with the OTA. I may downgrade and then root and OTA just to get it

i wish theres a way to unlike ur post. i hate this feeling.

could it be i deleted all the bloat tmob stuff ?

hows the new version ? is it also bloated ?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] SovereignKnight:
Sounds like this update isn't even worth waiting for. Besides.. The boot loader will be locked, and we will lose root, memory swap. I'd rather have CM 10.1 since it's going to offer all the bells and whistles that T - Mobile could never in a thousand years offer us.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Mars11_:
How do you know the bootloader will be locked?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] EPayne123:
The new OTA is just as bloated as previously

I did find this, but when you click on it, it says you're not allowed access.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] EPayne123:
Its the URL that is attached to I believe the PDF of the OTA. I have the OTA URL that I believe is linked to the OTA but am being denied access even though I am positive it is rolling out lol due to HAVING it

I'm tempted to just root the phone and forget about the update, that guide is interesting to follow since all of the steps are spread out over several guides.

If you do let me known if you are successful and I may go ahead and just downgrade, root, get OTAs and bam

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Lanzeelus:
I've been lurking around here waiting for people to start getting updates in mass, and I finally got the update. I'm not home at the moment so all I have for proof is a screenshot. If I can help in any way without rooting, I'll be happy to once I get home, since I can't download the update till then. I have fast boot and adb on my laptop, so I can use those if you need me to. Other than that, I just cleared data on Google Services Framework and checked for updates all day and it eventually worked. If you're growing impatient waiting, it seems like the updates are gradually rolling out now.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
Someone grab the zip file for this OTA and post it. It should be on the internal or external SD storage.

You will need to do this before installing the update. The file will be removed after the update.

I think people have been reporting it being located in the cache partition and needing root to get it.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] BrandonCormier:
If I am not mistaken you can pull from cache using adb. It's "adb pull /cache/update.zip" I think.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
Using root explorer I went to /cache/fota/ which has a dummy_for_cache.txt file in it.

Go into Apps in Settings and find it under all, open it up and click "Clear data".

Are you rooted? If not can you copy the .txt?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Nathan.7118391:
Yeah been doing this since Monday! I have ready several posts and I'll combine them here

1. Go to System settings/apps then to the all tab

2. Find Google Services Framework

3. Forcestop the app and press ok

4. clear data/clear cache is applicable

5. go back to system settings

6. down at the bottom scroll to about phone

7. Go to System updates and click check now. . .

Another way I've read is:

1. Clear your Google Servies Framework like mentioned above.

2. Go to your dialer

3. input *#*#checkin#*#*

4. Wait for the caution sign with an exclamation point in it saying check in succeeded.

5. Check phone for update.

Hopefully this may work for you, Good Luck!

Well, it supposedly helps. I've done it with multiple updates before on my Nexus 7 and previous Nexus S, and it seemed like it works. Although you don't NEED to do it, as you should get the update eventually. If you're desperate enough, you'll try it sooner or later. I've done it tons of times, and there are no harmful effects as far as I know.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Lanzeelus:
I have the update downloaded but not installed. I tried to pull update.zip using adb as suggested, but no dice. It says "remote object '/cache/update.zip' does not exist". If anyone wants me to try anything before I install it, guide me. I would like to avoid rooting, as I've seen that rooting this is NOTHING like my Nexi.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] telepheedian:
It might not be named update.zip. Not sure if you can pull the whole folder or if there's a way to verify the name of the .zip or otherwise grab it. Double check your pull path against the other ones posted in this thread, and try using * as a wildcard.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Mars11_:
Do you have a file browsing app like ES File Explorer or something?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] mderuelle:
So i think that its really weird that the only people getting update are not rooted how would they be able to tell if were rooted
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Lanzeelus:
I tried: "sudo (I'm using Ubuntu) adb pull /cache/*" and same result. I'm trying to see if I can check the folder somehow.

Tried ES File Explorer, couldn't even get to the root folder. Used eFile and I got to the root folder, but it doesn't allow me to open the folder. I'll try Root File Explorer next.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Mars11_:
Are we sure it's in the cache folder? Have you checked anywhere else?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Lanzeelus:
I wouldn't know where to look. I don't know my way around the filesystem at all. However, it looked like the LG Viper's ICS update was stored there too, so I'm definitely guessing that's where it's at. If Root Explorer gets me nowhere I'll search around more.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Mars11_:
I think it's stored in /cache/fota/ but there's also /data/fota/ though I can't access either of those without root with a file explorer.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] mderuelle:
Can u back up all the files on the phone then pull it
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Lanzeelus:
Nothing. I'm almost certain I can't access anything in that folder without root. That's what Root Explorer is telling me. I tried a logcat, but the link was long gone by the time I did it. If there was a way to delete the update and redownload so I could try and get the link again, I could do that. Other than that, I don't think there's much I can do.

At the very least, I can check if the bootloader is unlocked when I do update it.
