Was at best buy for 2 hours yesterday. Nobody could figure out how to get my g pro connected to a tv. G pro isnt mhl compatible either. This has to be a joke. I called lg. They said it connects wirelessly but only with a smart tv. Tell me this isnt true.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Sharpshooterrr:
G Pro isn't compatible with MHL, and TV out will work only with a SlimPort adapter.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jeffhesser:
miracast

It is compatible with miracast... that's a pretty popular standard.

I've got a Vizio with home media app on it. I start that app then open smart share on my optimus and I can see my videos, pics, and music folders from my phone on the tv screen. It is all wireless. Best feature I've seen on a phone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] capnoob:
Success at last. The adapter has arrived after 30 days and it works as promised.

Things I like about this adapter:

1. No lag like MHL adapters.

2. No dedicated power requirements (you don't need to plug your phone into power for the output to work)

3. full 1080p with great color and sound

By way of explanation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq21oMYEt9Y

[LG Optimus G Pro] paleozord:
I also have a Slimport adapter (slightly different model from yours) working with my Optimus G Pro, and had a quick question for you regarding a comparison observation.

If I connect my OGP to my 1080p HDMI monitor and miror the screen, I can then play videos either through the stock player or a third party one like MX Pllayer fine, no noticeable lag or stutter as you mention above. It plays smoothly on both the device and large screen at the same time.

However.. if I select and launch the stock Video Player first (rather than the video file itself through file manager etc), and then load the video file that way through its app interface, it will give the message "Video is now playing on the external screen", and indeed it sends the video feed to the monitor while leaving me free to do other things on the phone like web browse or whatever, while the video continues playing on the monitor. So it maintains two different independent screens - one on the phone and one on the external monotor - rather than mirroring the two identically. Great feature.. except that in this mode the video shown on the monitor lags and stutters quite noticably, and plays at a far lower framerate than it does when just mirroring. I'm using the same video file in both cases to test, and the results are very different depending on mode used.

Can you confirm whether this is your experience as well? Pick a video file on your phone, andf first load it through file manager, selecting the stock video player when it asks you what to play it with. That should give you regular screen mirror mode. Then close down and exit, and instead load the video player first, and from within its interface select the same file to be played, which should produce the external/second screen mode as described above. Do you notice a very obvious difference in framerate/playback between the two modes?

If not, I may have to try your version of the Slimport adapter....

Thanks!

Is there a functionally lockscreen from 4x or optimus g working for the Cm10.1 rom?
[HTC Rezound] Sheldor1967:
Or SuperStock as the case may be...

I S-Offed about a year ago and hadn't looked back. Classic Flashaholic story...My wife never knows how to use my phone! I have bounced all over but spent the most time on Newt's XxX rom because I loved the Camera mods. Recently though I flashed the latest update and thought I would revisit Stock, or at the very least MicroMods SuperStock. I needed a little modification.

I gotta tell ya. I truly respect all that is being done with JB and Sense 4 and 4.5 Roms...but it is soooo nice to be running something that is so smooth. The interface is smooth. The Apps lists update in no time at all...I am on the Stock battery and can have almost 2 hours of screen time but still have 50% battery left! It's amazing..

So, if you haven't done it in awhile, you may want to remind yourself why you bought this thing in the first place! :D

Happy Flashing!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ACampingNoob:
I created a thread for this for SlimBean but I've found the issue is more widespread than that.

I'm on the RootBox 4.0.1 stable for I747 with the kt747 kernel.

The camera app doesn't pause after you take a picture when confirming if you wish to save it.

The preview in most cases is skewed if you rotate it and/or swap cameras.

When I take a picture with Camera JB+ it reboots the phone.

I have cleared everything recommended, reflashed the rom and kernel, and nothing seems to work.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bruce Lee:
Have you tried a different custom kernel or the stock kernel the ROM comes with?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ACampingNoob:
Yes. The camera Skew issue appears in the stock kernel as well for SlimBean and RootBox.

The no-pause after taking a snap picture appears in every kernel as well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bruce Lee:
Have you tried going back to stock to see if its a hardware issue?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ACampingNoob:
If it works at any point, it's not a hardware issue. When you go to recent apps and remove it, it temporarily solves the problem.

It's a known issue with many roms but nobody seems to have taken notice.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nomadadon:
Hello,

. About 3 weeks ago I got an S4. That makes me the 4th of 5 people I know with them. The first three all have cracked glass. I thought they were just abusing their phones. Last night at a concert my phone slipped out of my pocket while sitting. It fell a foot and a half. I am now the fourth to have a cracked screen. A foot and a half. I will save you the stories of what my Motorola Droid and DNA took without any damage at all. I just paid $600 for this phone, I'm not paying $200 to get the glass replaced.

The 5th person is my wife. She accepted the S4 on performance recommendations. Hers is not cracked yet, but she only got it 2 days ago, we'll see how long it lasts. Why yes I could buy a nice case like an otterbox to protect the phone, but then why would I buy a thin, lite weight phone? Why didn't Samsung just use some real material such as gorilla glass instead of the cheap crap?

I am truly disappointed in this product.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whiteout7942:
The S4 has gorilla glass 3, the latest release of gorilla glass. Did any of these people you mentioned have cases on their phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Balsta:
Cheap crap? You realize they used Gorilla Glass 3? I've dropped mine caseless with no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] alephnaut:
Hmmm maybe Gorilla Glass 3 is the windows vista of glass! My first s 4 had 2 scratches on it right out the box...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkok:
accually gorilla glass has been tested, not with just phones, and they're prone to be anti-scratch, but they are compacted and thinner then most cellphone glass screens, so even if it is gorrilla glass 3, i might not scratch as bad, but since its compacted glass, and slightly thinner, its prone to crack and break easier(under circumstances), hence why its a thin phone, some smartphones are thick cause the glass and parts, to make a compacted phone its almost taking the risk of becoming fragiler the thinner it gets, like mica, but more expensive lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CC268:
Otterbox Commuter Case....sweet as colors and really nice case, get yourself one!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheStrokerace:
That is very interesting. I am wondering if yours is some of the early run phones? Up here in Canada, I haven't heard of any cracked glass yet. And from what I have seen, the S4 has a metal ring around it or is in a metal case now something like an Iphone style. I am wondering if the clearance are too tight and that caused it to crack. We may see a second gen phone if this is the problem and more have the same issues.

Now for the other post about scratches. Ya, I have a very slight scratch on mine. I don't by all of this damage, scratch resistance glass. Although I have an S3, they say that they tried scratching the screen with a key and it didn't scratch. A key has dull edges and aren't always in a pocket with a phone. Mine was scratched with a piece of paper. As that is all that was in that pocket.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Nomadadon:
Still fragile

As I said, I know 5 people now with S4's. All have damaged screens from minor issues. The only one that doesn't is only 3 days old.

I had a case on it but have to get a new one because the case doesn't fit with the QI charger receiver in it. Mine fell 1.5 feet, I was sitting in a chair at a concert and it slid out of my pocket. 1.5 feet, gorilla glass should be able to take that without issue, but that is definitely not the case with this phone.

If I wanted a big, thick phone from an otterbox I'd have bought a big thick phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
i know 4 people with S4's who have had them since launch, and none of them are broken.

one of them even just uses the holster shell case.

then again, i don't think any of my friends are really irresponsible with their $650 pieces of technology.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wardoc22:
Lol it is gorilla glass.

Even so, gorilla glass is just glass after all. Glass is brittle, it will break upon shock.

If you want a phone that isn't as fragile as these new smartphones, you might want to get one of those old Nokia phones that has plastic screens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dansan382:
i love how people cry when they drop a phone and it breaks.. like what are you expecting? I know it has gorilla glass but that doesnt mean it wont survive everything. you forget its GLASS.... it is insanely fragile and can be affected by many many factors that will cause it to either survive or not survive even the smallest of drops. temperature, humidity, height, weight load behind it, fracture point and the list goes on.

it is glass, it will break, dont be surprised when you drop it and it cracks. but yes gorilla glass should help reduce them but you have no idea what kind of stress factors went on in that glass.

remember, cars have airbags, have made car insanely safe for people yet people still get injuries and even death from car accidents. airbags cant save you every time. same goes for gorilla glass.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nucher:
Here is a video from Samsung showing the S4 endurance test. http://youtu.be/K4f9gQ7b6Gg There is a thread in the Verizon S3 forum that was similar to this one. Some people said the phone was bullet proof, some said it was fragile. I think it depends on how the phone lands on a hard surface as to whether it breaks or not, hence the discrepancy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
Not sure I agree with the perspective, since a lot of folks are not engineers, or may have had more resilient phones (once with less glass) before this. Case in point, the S3 handles drops better, but a relative point and both will crack on a hard surface and if the impact is an acute angle (a corner). The more surface glass and less bezel, the more likely a display crack when kinetic energy needs displaced (a drop).

On top of that reality of physics, Samsung have gone way out of their way to pimp how tough the S4 is lately. Perhaps giving some consumers a false sense of security, along with the Gorilla glass misnomers (assumptions it will not crack).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
Has there ever been a phone releases without people complaining about how weak it is? I read the same things about my galaxy nexus.

Sometimes they break. It happens. I've dropped mine from shoulder height without a case... Only a nick... And do you know what that means?

Nothing. It means absolutely nothing. With such a small sample size I am unwilling to make any sweeping claims about all S4s. Unfortunately I may be in the minority.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] a.demarco:
same here... mine fell out of my pocket and cracked instantly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Settaz:
Wait so because your glasd cracked all of a sudden all s4's are fragile and break easily? No, it all depends on how you drop it. If you drop any phone face first it'll crack.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kack:
lol thats funny because i broke it. and admit that its no big deal but when all the people are saying well ive dropped it like this or like that and its fine, well good for you but you are eventually going to break it. and if glass being fragile is an ignorant theory i concocted then i should be a millionaire because it is a fact that it is fragile and brittle. so i dont need your diatribe. have a nice day.:laugh:

Fragile? yes.

This is my third Galaxy with Verzon. I had a Fascinate, practically bounced it off concrete with no issues, though when it took a fall off a cliff, the bottom of the screen chipped, but the OLED panel was fine. I had it replaced by insurance at the time, before they upped the deductibles. I've had a GS3 for a little more than a year, and while always in a Rearth Ringke Slimlite case, it's survived plenty of falls with no issues. I got my Galaxy S4 off ebay 2 weeks ago. The one I received was defective with the capacitive menu & back buttons nonfunctional, and the seller was able to replace it. I got the replacement 8 days ago, and have been using it since.

Today, I was underneath my car doing some work with the GS4 in my front pocket. As I leaned forward to sit up, I heard a 'pop' from my pocket - and took the phone out to see no cracks in the glass, but the screen wouldn't come on. Upon further inspection - while the glass is pristine with no scratches on the surface, the screen panel UNDERNEATH the glass has cracked!

How on earth does this even happen? It wasn't even dropped, the screen tries to come on, but is unable to display anything. There are no external marks on the phone, I had put it in a Rearth case as well - and just realized some of the original plastic hadn't even been removed. Since I didn't get it from VZW, I'm not sure how I'm going to go about replacing it. I've contacted Samsung, and they suggested sending it in as a repair, but they advised that it's possible they would charge me (up to $180 or so) for the repair. I can't help but think that something was either overtightened or some defect caused the screen to be under more pressure than necessary causing it to crack due to the heat?
