[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yekollu:
Hi... Until a couple of weeks back, the battery on the phone was amazing, it used to last a little more than 24 hrs (with data always on, wifi on every now and then, 2hrs video apart from regular songs and whatsapp) but from a couple of weeks the battery was draining very fast, it would last only 14 hours or so..

Yesterday, i made a factory reset. Installed the apps one by one and was monitoring the battery drain...The culprits were Facebook and SWYPE beta...

Without swype beta on my phone, i have 90% battery left after 3 hrs 43 mins of full recharge...

Have others been experiencing the same problem? Is there any work around?

I miss SWYPE :(

ATTENTION: PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

It has come to my attention that under certain circumstances when the Kindle HD's get stuck in a bootloader bootloop the information on the "boot0" block of the internal storage can be ERASED and RESET.

This partition is special and contains ALL of your device's hardware specific information:

- Wifi MAC address + Encoded Secret for registering w/ Amazon services

- BT MAC address

- Serial #

etc

FOR BACKING UP THIS PARTITION:

adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0block.img"
adb pull /sdcard/boot0block.img

Place the "boot0block.img" file with the other files that you backed up in the original instructions for safe keeping.

FOR RESTORING THIS PARTITION:

(do not do this unless you are absolutely SURE that your boot0 block got wiped out -- hopefully you never need to)

This is done via adb from your PC while the device is in TWRP recovery or in the Android OS (not fastboot):

cd <your safekeeping files>
adb push boot0block /sdcard/boot0block.img
adb shell "echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro; dd if=/sdcard/boot0block.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0;"

THIS FILE IS UNIQUE TO YOUR DEVICE AND CANNOT BE REPLACED OR REBUILT FROM ANOTHER DEVICE. DO NOT SHARE IT WITH ANYONE AS IT CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DEVICE USED BY AMAZON DURING REGISTRATION.

Hey guys I'm about to buy a new LG Optimus L9 P760 phone in the next few days and I need some feedback opinions about it. I'm asking especially those who owned it or owns it. Basically the phone has only 4GB internal memory but you can add a microSD card. From what I've heard you cannot move applications on the SD Card which means your phone will be able to handle only about 2.30 GB of its 4 GB capacity. So that's a worry for me because I cannot install the things I want within only 2.3 GB. So my #1 question is if there's any possibility to move the applications in SD Card without rooting, because that's the only way you can move them.

#2 question: Can a LG Optimus L9 P760 run the newest games, like Asphalt 7, NFS MW, PES 2013 or FIFA 2013 without lag?

#3 question: Is the 5MP camera good enough to take clear pictures? Because I'm about to use it for taking some pictures here and there. I had a Xperia X10 mini phone and its camera was good enough for me, I liked the pictures made by them.

Thanks.

Hi?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
You can move apps to SD after rooting.

You can probably run all those games after rooting and overclocking.

The camera is descent. Other phones take better pictures.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] julian_noob:
Hey,

I'm about to buy LG Optimus L9 tomorrow but I need some question answered.

1. Can you move apps to SD card without rooting? Like updating to a newer Android OS?

2. If I root, does it affect my cellphone warranty?

3. If I try to root, is there any chance of destroying my phone's software and make it useless?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
1. Can you move apps to SD card without rooting? Like updating to a newer Android OS?

I believe you can do this with the latest firmware update(Jelly Bean).

2. If I root, does it affect my cellphone warranty?

Nope.

3. If I try to root, is there any chance of destroying my phone's software and make it useless?

Nope. We can only soft-brick the device. No way to hard-brick it.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] julian_noob:
Hey,

Thanks for the time you've spent answering my questions. I have one more question: what's soft-brick and what's hard-brick and what's the difference between them?

I'm looking forward into buying the phone tomorrow, it looks like a good piece of business given the price proportional to the specs the phone has.

How do you rate on a 1 up to 10 scale rate your LG Optimus L9 performance?

// Apparently the rooting will invalidate the warranty of the phone.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
You are welcome. :D

Soft-brick is recoverable by us.

Hard-brick is only recoverable by LG.

I rate this device as a 6. That is only because I am picky and the P769 model has so many software issues right now. But with CM 10.1 it is a little better. Battery life is what I like the most.

If you un-root the device before sending in for any kind of service the warranty will be honored.

If you send it in rooted LG will decide if they want to honor the warranty.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] julian_noob:
Well I'm yet not decided what to buy, I've got to choose between LG L9 and Xperia Arc S.

Oh and by the way, in what case you risk to hardbrick the phone?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Deleted member 2530995:
I used both phones and between them much better is LG for me. In arc s just camera is better. Performance is bad and with only few apps and no games I felt that my phone is slow. Next thing arc s doesn`t have official jelly bean update and to unlocking bootloader may be not possible (deppends when phone was produced). Imo lg is much better choice.

well hardbricking lg p760 is impoosible. in theory you can hardbrick your phone when you unlock bootloader and try to install custom ROM, but in lg p760 case you can only softbrick your phone as people here say so no worries here.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] julian_noob:
Haha, worries solved, thanks for enlightening me. I'm going to buy my LG Optimus L9 P760 tomorrow. Is a root totally necessary?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Deleted member 2530995:
I'm not sure about moving apps to sd without root, but in android development thread there people write guides how to make it work so problems can happen so root may be necessary. remember that unlocking bootloader you lose warranty not rooting (but still you can try send your device to lg in case something will be wrong with your device after unlocking bootloader. Sometimes they don"t care about it).
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] julian_noob:
So there's any chance to root my device so I can unroot it if something happens and LG honour their warranty?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Deleted member 2530995:
As far as I know rooting with locked bootloader don't influence warranty in any way. Just root lg using method for locked bootloader but even if i'm wrong unrooting is quiet easy and lg will honour warranty for sure.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] julian_noob:
Just brought my LG P760 home, I am really satisfied with its design, I'm a bit cautious about using it, haha. So for the first time do I have to format the battery, like use it until the phone turns off itself then charge it for like 8 hours?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kevev:
Nope. That is a myth started by people that do not understand lithium-ion batteries. Enjoy your new phone. :)

After you will get root access which will allow you to install custom audio modifiers which will blow you ears. You may get twice as loud sound if you set it properly. Also amazing sounds effects as dynamic bass. Many settings for various headphones, earphones. It's called viper4android. I'm on my phone right now so I'm lazy and I won't search for it. I may give you link tomorrow if you will decide to root also I prefer to get Cwm also for backup. Dunno how to get cwm with locked bootloader but if you will unlock bt im open for help.

Hey guys it's me again,

I'm writing this on my phone as I bought it for a few weeks already and I like the phone.

Now I have a few questions I've encountered during usage of this phone:

#1 - I usually play a game on the phone and use the Internet so it barely stays on stand-by. Basically the battery life goes between 6 to 13 hours. Is it right to stay this time?

#2 - So when I was charging the phone, turned off as the battery was empty, it usually showed me the battery icon and a yellow triangle with a rounded arrow rotating. Until today when in the same situation, it was only the battery icon without triangle. What does it mean?

#3 - Sometimes when I press the lock screen button it takes a caption of the screen and I have to press the menu button while I'm on the main screen to make it lock again. Why is that happening?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] donk165:
#1 Battery Life is pretty much dependant on how you use the phone. If its in use a lot, it will go down quickly.

#2 The yellow triangle is just basically saying "the device is charging, but doesnt have enough charge to switch on yet"

#3 Sounds like you must be accidentally holding the volume button while pressing the on button. (Volume Down + Lock = Screenshot)

This is Awesome Note app that comes pre installed in all new GNote series (Note II, Note 8.0), tested on GTab 2 7.0'' but i should work on GTab 2 10.1'' too. :laugh:

TIP: To see all folders, you'll have to edit and delete some to fit to your screen. do it by pressing folder button in the bottom. :good:

Screenshot:

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?6bb99a6sb9uzzmt
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] kt-Froggy:
Looks very nice, too bad it's unusable on 7" GTab 2... Looks like the problem with the screen resolution, as some elements are beyond the screen boundaries, and I couldn't find the way to make it work. You can neither see all the folders on the left, nor all the content on the right, whether in portrait or landscape...Might be good on 10" (don't have it, so can't test), but definitely not on 7".
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] Narciso Neto:
I agree with you, its made for a 8 inch tablet... But its totally usable, and it looks better in lanscape. mode.

:good:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] kt-Froggy:
Actually, it's not, at least not for me... What I mean is that when you scroll through folders on the left, it's not a smooth scrolling, but one page at a time, and the "page" is larger than the screen. And even if you remove some folders to eliminate the need for scrolling, you have to keep their number so small that it fits our screen. So, you can't select certain folders, no matter what you do - the app just hides them beyond your screen boundaries. Look at the screenshot example: there are 4 more folders at the bottom on the left, and no way to get to them. And one more item on the right, also out of reach.

It's only usable if you have a very small number of folders to fit the screen on the left, and a very specific number of content items on the right. Kinda like a crippled demo version, I'd say... :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] Narciso Neto:
Yeah, I noticed that right now that you tell me...

in portrait mode you can reach:

-My Idea; My Diary; travel Journal; Shopping; To-do; Aniversary; My Calendar; Work; Recipe; Thoughts..

By rotating to landscape you can use Email/Print... so we can't reach Scrap and Study folders...

But by pressing folders button, in the bottom... you can edit the order or delete folders that you didn't use!

It will look like this...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] kt-Froggy:
Yes, you can do that. But that's what I mean by "crippled" version - you can't use the full intended functionality of the app, you have to always keep in mind the limitations and work around them. The usability depends on your tolerance level for the annoyances, I guess... :) But it's a great app, for sure.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] Narciso Neto:
Yeah, you right... i think i have a high level of tolerance haha

but i hope Samsung include that to 4.2.2 update! :)

LOL? So everyone thinks that i9500 gpu is worse than adreno 320...Check out this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZegbcFRsMsA

As far as i am concerned, the difference between the two GPU is much insignificant than the difference between the two CPU. As you talk about future proof, you should know that game with a lot of AI are very CPU hungry, and the power of the A16 in the i9500 will crash the A9 qualcomm snapdragon.

You said yourself that you need a faster phone, well in every domain, the i9500 is faster than the i9505 except the insignificant GPU performance.

Talking about overclock, you know that galaxy s4 suffer from overheating whether i9500 or i9505, trying to overclock the gpu while the machin already suffers from overheating issue will destroy your device for sure. Ok let's imagin you can do this. Who knows that Samsung will not release new patch or software so that I9500 can activate all 8 cores so that it can gain a huge performance and have efficient battery.

After all, people buy what they like. Just give you my own opinion, hope that can help you deciding.

I've been using the same case as you since December, and have indeed dropped the phone quite a few times. Fortunately, my screen survived. You got really unlucky there.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
LCD cracking is pure luck. It all depends on which part took the impact. Your phone will most likely survive if it falls flat on a flat surface. If the corner hits, it'll most likely break.

I have seen phones survive 6ft drop and also seen broken phones from a 1ft drop.

First open it up and disconnect-reconect the digitizer plug from the main board. Maybe it just moved a little after the crash.

Those plastic slim cases will not protect your phone, at all. At most, they provide a grip to your phone and prevent scratches from everyday usage.

Was nice cuz I ended up with a more solid phone, has the little nubs and all (it's a rev 10 though). Pretty much like getting a brand new phone and I was only charged like $160. Just make sure to back up your pics and stuff to your PC prior to sending it in, in case you get a new phone. I was quite happy.
