I've got the Motorola motoactv gps watch. Best watch out there and works great with the N2.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mottyengel:
Thank your lucky stars that you and i are having this conversation then. I'm guessing you havent ever updated sync? They put out an update a while back, (before i bought my car, so i didnt have the option) that took that away. Any SYNC system that is up to date brings you back to line in EVERY time you turn off the car. imagine that for a second. The reason they did that, was because some people complained that they would get into their car and music would just start playing, so instead of spending time to recode it system to let you choose a default, they just force line in on you. and nothing is being done to change this.

So, to sum up, if you ever get the urge to update the system, dont.

Thanks for the heads up. Mine is a 2009 Edge and I did an update back in 2009 but haven't done once since. I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it, eh?

I backed that just the other day. My car has bluetooth, but only streams calls and not audio. Planning on plugging it in to my AUX port to stream audio. The female-female adapter is pretty nifty.

best a2dp with noise cancellation over the ear

as the title says, I'm looking to improve my audio experience via bt over the ear. I has to be a2dp (streaming audio) and good noise cancellation. My current Moto Elite Silver is great but noise cancellation is so-so, some people hear some whistle at times. I spend a lot of time driving and need to use bt over the ear.

What are you experiences/suggestions/advise? Appreciate... :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LittleRedDot:
I have a jawbone era and I'm impressed. I owned the moto Sliver for a yeat amd while it was way more comfortable, it didn't offer that dio quality that the jawbone has. I initially bought Bose new bt headset but I wasn't impressed at all, except that it was comfortable.

I do have some problems with my jawbone that are all user error (i think), but once I get the sorted I'll be happy.

After flashing a new ROM my phone will only boot properly using "c:\fastboot fastboot boot boot.img" on the PC .... If I boot holding the power button the HTC screen saying "This build is not for ...." loops.

Does anyone has a solution to this?
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
Did you flash the right kernel? Your command seems wrong.. It's fastboot flash boot boot.img, not fastboot boot boot.img

[Nexus 4 General] Jeffery.Lenz:
The purpouse for this thread is purely informational to see what other peoples experiences have been in the repair process involving LG

I am not really looking for stories of how LG (or Google) simply replaced your phone, but rather out of warranty cases, what you had to do, how much it might have cost out of pocket and for what repaired.

This is so others like my self know what to possibly expect.

My story:

I picked up this phone on Craigslist for $30 already knowing it was bricked, in hopes that I might be able to reserect it. upon finding out (after money was exchanged) that it was done not just while trying to root but that he believes that the wrong file was used when his "friend" was trying to do it i realized that it was probably the wrong boot loader so many have loaded by mistake. After figuring out my only solution based on my research was probably a JTAG service I decided to give LG a call, and told them what was up. asked if I could send it it and get a quote to re-flash it. unfortunately when i got it the rear glass was already cracked and i was upfront about this. upon inspection they said they wanted to replace the entire housing including the LCD as well as the main board. I was unable to get further details as to what was wrong with the board, but they only wanted to replace the LCD due to a scratch on the front. I tried to just have them replaced the board but it was an all or nothing deal. Soooo... not having $181 laying around for basically a new phone with my old battery I had them ship it back.

Additional Information: upon having my unit shipped back to me I discovered it to be shipped back with no padding other then the shipping invoice in the very thin box and a non-padded plastic envelope. I contacted LG as I was concerned about additional damage to my phone that I might not be able to determine till such time as I might be able to send it back when i can afford the repairs they informed me this was standard shipping whether my phone was repaired or not, I told them the box had been crushed on one side and I was told they would make a note and send it to their service center so a change in packaging could be made if it was deemed appropriate.

Parts LG would like to have replaced for the aforementioned $181 (USD):

Battery cover (with glass)

Mainboard

LCD (including digitizer and front glass assembly)
[Nexus 4 General] rubiconjp:
LCD replaced, $140 total.
[Nexus 4 General] jaggyjags:
Only 40$ more and they include a new mainboard? Sounds cheap.

I won't hesitate paying 180 and get a totally new phone. You can always sell it after and earn some dollars, considering you just payed 30 for it. It's your only solution, buying a mainboard and a screen would be much more expensive.
[Nexus 4 General] threeclaws:
So you paid $30 for the phone and for $181 ($211 total) you will essentially have a brand new n4? Outside of the shoddy return packaging I see no issue with this.

To be honest though, if you can't afford a $180 repair bill you have other priorities that need addressing just sell the phone for a profit (you'll get alot more than $30 on ebay.)
[Nexus 4 General] jaggyjags:
Maybe, but for a phone with broken glass and mainboard, you can only use battery and some other components which not usually break. Will be impress if you get more than 50-60 dollars and then discounting what PayPal and eBay charges...

I'm really impress they only charge you 180 for a full fix. If I were you I will just wait until I get the money, then fix it and sell it.

As of my experience, I had my screen replaced by LG due to a white pixel, (didn't have RMA choice). They did not charge for it and sent it back in 4 working days.
[Nexus 4 General] Jeffery.Lenz:
Worth it.

I do recognize the value here. trust me :) . I plan on getting it repaired as soon as I have funds as I would love to be able to use it. Just have to sell my spare phone (Atrix HD) first. At the end of the day, the only real complaint I have is that the LG service center has an all or nothing policy. The rear glass is broken (i have a nice TPU case that hides it) the LCD and digitizer is fine, just has a scratch on the screen (I can deal ith that), I just want the Mainboard replaced but they will either do all of it or none of it. I understand why, they want to guarantee their product. just a bummer for those that might not have quite that much cash on hand for such things. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] jaggyjags:
I actually think they are not charging for the main board, that will explain the price. If it hasn't got any signs of physical damage they usually repair it free of charge. I had my Gnex main board replaced after a sudden death having no warranty, bills or anything.
[Nexus 4 General] fone_fanatic:
Have you followed the return to stock guide using fast boot to re-flash stock images? I had a scare when returning mine to stock and followed that guide and got it back to life.
[Nexus 4 General] Jeffery.Lenz:
Trust me I tried every thing I could. I ended up selling another phone I has lying around and shipped my N4 off for repair. Should be back by next week. according to the invoice they are replacing basically everything but the battery. Looking forward to having it back :D

Attached is the form from LG, with the personal info changed of course.
[Nexus 4 General] icecicle:
LG recieved mine on the 22nd and charged me 140 to fix it . . still haven't received it back or anything haven't even heard from them since they called me telling me the LCD is damaged I'm just hoping i get it back by saturday.. I didn't get a detailed email from them or anything either but i noticed it took them 9 days to send you one so i guess patience is the key.
[Nexus 4 General] icecicle:
So I just got mine back and there's a yellow blob on the screen and its really annoying what do I do ? Call Google for an RMA or call LG again
[Nexus 4 General] Jeffery.Lenz:
If you received it back from LG for service I would call LG again.
[Nexus 4 General] Jeffery.Lenz:
Back and good as new.

I have received back my N4 from service. had to call 3 times to figure out what was going on since there is no reliable way to check online. was told on Wednesday to call back on Friday to get and update and hopefully tracking information. then received an email stating it had been shipped on Thursday. It was shipped back 2 day service (FedEx) and got it on Saturday. I have all ready rooted it and got it up and going. It looks new from top to bottom. over all I am pretty happy with the service turn around time. But (recognizing I am a bit impatient) I felt like I had to be more involved with keeping up with what was going on then I would have cared to. Status updates are important to me when it comes to such expensive items.

:cool:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sixaidee:
I was on the phone with my girlfriend, when suddenly my device rebooted. I attempted to call her again, but it rebooted again even before the call screen loaded. Afterwards, my phone endlessly rebooted when it finds signal. I tried re-flashing with Flashtool, but it didn't work. Apparently, this occurs when it is on GSM mode. Is there anyone who knows how to fix this?

NOTES:

My bootloader is unlocked (warranty void)

SIM card works fine on other phones
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sixaidee:
UPDATE

Everything is fine on WCDMA mode, but when 3G signal is lost and it reverts back to 2G, the bootloop happens again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] anthonythangaraj:
May be the issue with the your Network IC. Cause I faced a similar situation. When the Airplane mode is enabled, Phone works fine. But When it is disabled, the phone reboots.

Not sure this issue is related to you or not:). Just a suggestion :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] sixaidee:
Well, damn. Everything just got worse - it reboots even when on airplane mode. It happened while I was playing Minecraft. Now, the phone reboots every time, regardless of signal or anything. I guess I had better replace my beloved phone. :crying:

Did you try to reflash stock firmwire with flashtool or maybe a custom Rom? That usually solves things....

I have a question though. Cause i have random freezes, lock ups but not frequent and the only

way to get out of it is to reset the phone or yank the battery out and turn it on again

But is it NORMAL? I dont have many apps installed just 3 games from the play store.

Thanks :)

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadive.ri:
I recently got rid of my Droid X2 and bought a Droid Razr Maxx HD. I have the OS update to Jelly Bean 4.1.2. I like that they removed most of the Moto blur crapware but one of the few widgets that I used was the social networking widget. I don't want to put the Face book app on my phone and used the widget to get updates. Is there an app that does the same thing? I basically wanted to pull updates when posts are made on Facebook by my friends or pages that I have liked.

Thanks

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
I loved nova too. Unfortunately kevin made it impossible to theme or mod nova by outside devs. So he has turned his back on people that have promoted, used, and modded the app to match full themes. See the nova thread for further explanation... but in the end it comes down to the android community and since he feels that he can't help those that have supported him for years, I can't see myself using his app until it's rectified. Apex is better I believe anyway. Same features as nova without the bad attitude...

The best rom is the one you will like it best. Try roms to know what you w will like most
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rickav:
A stable, popular choice is Omega ROM. They offer an abundance of customisations and looks barely different from the Stock ROM (unless you customise it, of course). This ROM can, however, slow your phone down ever so significantly.

In my vague opinion, Android Revolution HD is very similar, however, this ROM specialises in removing most bloatware while still maintaining most stock features. Doesn't have many customisation options, only improves the speed/smoothness of the Stock ROM.

Following on from that, the ROMs begin to get more interesting... NOTEorious Prime & Jedi X ROMs are some outstanding ones which venture out a bit further from the stock ROM. They still have the same features, but they are more extravagant; such as 4.2 camera and multi-window for all apps. If it's customisations you're looking for; I'd look into these ROMs in more detail.

Finally, and inevitably, comes Alliance ROM. First off, let me make it clear that I am completely biased towards this ROM mainly because it's the one I'm running currently and the one I've stuck with for far too long after flashing all varieties of ROMs. This ROM has unbelievable amounts of customisation, looks stunning and runs smoother than Bill Clinton. If that's not all, you still have stock features like s-pen, glance view, multi-window etc as well as kick-ass OTA (over-the-air updates) which lets you pick and choose exactly which updates you want and when as well being compatible with every kernel for the Note 2. I'll stop before I pass out from its untouchable flamboyance.

So there you have it... As many others will tell you, test the ROMs to find your favourite but here's my opinion and here's to hoping you find it helpful.

Cheers...

why this is not f**king working for me ...?!? :D

ok, had this problem and dont know wheres here the problem

1. i hate bbl (=buttonbacklight) so i disable it with Mini-Ultrabrightness mod and all was fine!

but after changing kernel to kappa kernel (1.6) the bbl was very bright AND NO way to disable it...?!?

---> edited hw_config file like here = no changes

---> flashed Mini-Ultrabrightness second time = no changes

---> make a script with value echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current / and also tested values for 1 button etc.. = no changes

before it was no problem changing the bbl, but after usig kappa kernel the bright backlight persist, even after flash diffrent kernels :D

..... MY QUESTION IS: anbody knows whats happenning there?? or haw to diable bbl with a diffrent (safe :D) method??

it would be really nice.

thanks. and SFBE (=sorry for bad english;))
