[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieldp1990:
Just instale a safe firmware. not MG4 AND MF6.... i am on XXEME2 ITS THE BEST.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
MG4 is perfectly safe, it is a BTU firmware intended for the UK, it works extremely well and it is the users of this forum that don't know what they are doing that make it unsafe... It's as simple as that
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Mustard:
I9300XXEME2 does not show up on a search for UK BTU on SamMobile, only I9300XXEMG4 (July 2013) and I9300XXEMB5 (February 2013).

Does I9300XXEMG4 change much compared to the previous build??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieldp1990:
It have to be BTU? remember the BTU MG4 changes your imei for ever...... so its a risk to flash it. thats why i did not flash the MG4 and flash a earlier version not BTU XXEME2, its sooo nice..

Hi There,

I want TWRP v2.6 for my Qmobile Noir A9. Currently using TWRP v2.5

Qmobile is a Pakistani equivalent to Myphone A888 Duo (Philippines), Wiko Cink Peax (French), Intex Aqua Wonder (Indian), Fly IQ443 Trend & Mobistel Sygnus T2, and Q-Smart Miracle Magic. [Tinno Mobile].

Its a MT6577 device, with 1GHz dualcore processor, 512mb Ram, PowerVR SGX 531 GPU.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] Patbach:
So this morning I decided to get myself a new ROM on my optimus 2x. After 2years with CyanogenMod7, I was starting to get more and more problems, so I went for it... my 2nd lifetime rom installation.

I thought I understood it all good.. decided to go with ParanoidAndroid CM10 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2097807). I followed pengus's instructions thoughtfully.

1. Copied the ROM .zip, the gapps .zip, and the kernel .zip.,

2. Factory reset, clear cache, dalvik, etc..

3. Booted the phone in recovery, and installed the 3 .zip package in the order I just mentioned (at step1)

After rebooting my phone would keep booting with a new and fresh version of Cyanogenmod 7.. for some reason. I remade the operation a couple times and it would always get my in cyanogenmod (wtf?). Now, after a couple hours of messing around, I installed back nvflash and tried other loaders : cwm 5.0, cwm 6.0, twrp 2.5.0..

Eventually after the usual clear cache / factory reset, unpacking zip files, my phone stoped rebooting in cyanogenmod7, but then it would just get stuck with the "LG" logo forever....

Now, I've taken my ENTIRE day off trying to figure this one now. I've been at it since 8hours more or less, and now I'm expecting calls and I'm out of phone. The whole experience has been very frustrating.... and I'm out of solutions here..

Hopefully this is just a newbie mistake (cuz I'm still kinda newbie in the whole rooting experience). Plz help...:(

something I don't understand :

when using twrp 2.5.0 as recovery, after I did a full wipe, and fresh installation, just after I click reboot now. it says that it appears my phone is not rooted, and that I can click yes to install SuperSU.. sometimes I click YES, sometimes I don't ... both action don't change the fact that my phone gets stuck at the LG logo.
[LG Optimus 2x] Patbach:
So turns out I had a gingerbread partition and was trying to install an IceCreamSandwitch version of android.

With All-In-One-Toolkit, I was able to fix the partition and all.... wow all my day because of this ;(

Check this out, don't hold your breath for a Chromecast anytime soon.

"We are shipping Chromecast orders daily. Chromecast orders placed prior to August 3, 2013 are expected to ship within the next two to three months. Customers will receive an email notification when their Chromecast ships.

Only applies to orders shipped from and sold by Amazon.com."

[Google Chromecast] rekh127:
Well amazon was letting you order them the whole time. I bet the ones placed last week ship much sooner thant the ones placed today. Also I wouldn't be surprised if they're overstating it to look good when they do ship. However maybe I shouldn't get his hopes up...

EDIT Just noticed they've removed the sentence "Chrome cast orders .... two to three months" from the page
[Google Chromecast] NyPlaya513:
I had placed a order for one when it has JUST become soldout on amazon since I was the idiot forgetting how google stuff sells like wildfire. My friend had made his order that night around midnight. I got a notice on the 30th from amazon that mine had shipped and thanks to my prime shipping it may show up today(saturday) if not monday the latest. His on the other hand had not shipped yet as of Friday.
[Google Chromecast] omgjoz:
I ordered mine on July 25th, just received an email with the expected delivery date of August 21st... Crap.
[Google Chromecast] xuser:
I guess orders dropped significantly when people saw they had to wait 2-3 months, so they removed it. I think the time window they stated is still accurate.
[Google Chromecast] mikera67:
Ordered from Amazon the 26th, just got email saying August 20th, sigh
[Google Chromecast] Znomon:
here is my chromecast update from amazon. Ordered July 29. expected delivery Aug 21st
[Google Chromecast] Gordo1603:
I ordered one from amazon this morning and the estimated delivery date is Aug 21
[Google Chromecast] omgjoz:
WTH?? I ordered min the second day it was on sale, at least I'm eligible for the Netflix rebate.
[Google Chromecast] cdinz:
Ordered on July 24th... and estimated delivery is Aug 21st... 1 month wait... :(
[Google Chromecast] Rusticus:
I order mine the 24th from Amazon. Got an email 2 days ago that said it would be delivered on August the 6th.
[Google Chromecast] daraldf:
Mine was ordered on the 24th and will arrive on the 5th
[Google Chromecast] yahoowizard:
I'm sure the 21st is the latest it's going to arrive, and they probably gave the date to everyone who ordered it regardless of when they ordered it, and the August 21st date is only for the people towards the end of the queue. Either that, or that's when their second batch of Chromecasts are arriving. Lets hope it's the former.
[Google Chromecast] greenmonk:
I ordered mine on July 24th, and it's supposed to arrive today (Aug 5). I guess I was one of the lucky few to get the Netflix deal as well!

I've been waiting for something like this for a very long time, since the Nexus 7 has no HDMI out, and I've had a few Google Play movies that I would like to watch on the big screen. I've been using AirParrot with my 2008-vintage MacBook and Apple TV, and the video playback for Hulu and other websites is pretty poor. I'm really interested to see how Chromecast does.

Updates tomorrow.
[Google Chromecast] evelbug:
Over the weekend, I got an e-mail with an estimated delevery of late august. Today I got another e-mail with no delevery estimate. :(

I got mine on the 2nd, haven't got code yet.. email support today. U?
[Google Chromecast] omgjoz:
I also received an email from Amazon today that took away the estimated date of August 21st. What a bummer. I must have just missed the window because when I went to buy it the estimated date was the 5th. I did receive an email saying I qualified for the Netflix code... Weird. Hope I actually get one!

Must be an joke?!
[Google Chromecast] maDIEmG:
I just woke up and saw that Amazon had the Chromecast back up with prime option so I went ahead and ordered it and I also talked with support about the product and they couldn't give me anymore info besides the 2 - 3 month window.

Edit: Just to add I also asked if Orders placed now take priority over order placed after yours and they said no, but that maybe cause they didn't understand maybe.

[Google Chromecast] sic0048:
No offense, but I do have laugh a little at all the people that decided to buy from Amazon to save the shipping costs (Amazon Prime) only to find out now that they won't get the devices until October. I bet they wish they bought directly from Google now. Of course I'm being smug because I bought from Google on the 2nd or 3rd day it was out (ie I didn't buy on the first day) and already have my device. But truth be known, if the shoe was on the other foot, I'd be pissed too......
[Google Chromecast] gabriel_hart:
Ya... I ordered from Amazon about a week ago. Had an estimated delivery date, then none, then I got the Oct - Nov email today. Just placed an order from the Play Store. 2-3 weeks is worth the few extra bucks over 2 1/2 - 3 months.
[Google Chromecast] NexusIncarnate:
You guys are funny. Ask people who ordered the Nexus 4 or Nexus 7 at launch how long it took for them to receive their devices from Google last year when it said they were either in stock, or available in 2-3 weeks. I'm sure you can find the threads with 4,000 pages detailing the horror. :)

Amazon says Chromecast not delayed per WSJ

Per WSJ (at a blogs.WSJ link XDA will not let me post) Amazon is now saying the emails were in error. They will be sending a new round of emails out with new shipping information.

I ordered 8/4...initial delivery target was 8/21. Got another email today saying 10/17-10/31. Bought one off eBay for Tuesday delivery for an extra 30 bucks. I am not a patient man.
[Google Chromecast] luckychef28:
Yeah, I'm going to believe the WSJ report that the October shipping email was a mistake. It just didn't make sense that Google would ship in 3 weeks, but Amazon wouldn't for up to 3 months.

By Greg Bensinger

Amazon.com goofed, which should be good news to people who ordered Google's Chromecast video-streaming device.

The company said late Thursday that emails it sent to customers who placed orders for the device had “an incorrect estimated order delivery of late October,” an Amazon spokesman said.

Amazon’s earlier emails said Chromecast may not be delivered to customers until as late as October 30, much later than the mid-August update in prior messages to customers.

The company said it will send around new emails with updated shipping information.

“We are actively fulfilling orders and all customers who placed orders prior to August 7 should receive their orders in the coming weeks,” said the spokesman, in an email.
[Google Chromecast] Tikal769:
I ordered mine on July 27th and was told August 21st for delivery.

Then i get an email saying i should expect it in the middle of october :confused:

But this morning i get this email.....

"Dear Amazon.com Customer,

Thank you for your recent Chromecast purchase. Earlier today, you received an email indicating an incorrect estimated order delivery of late October. We are actively fulfilling orders weekly based on customer order date and all customers who placed orders prior to August 7 should receive their orders in the coming weeks and into mid-September. We will notify you as soon as your item ships and apologize for the confusion.

We hope to see you again soon!

So theres still hope out there

I can laugh at those that bought from Google Play and had to wait. I bought from Amazon on announcement day and had 3 of them the NEXT day. I also bought one from Google Play at the same time but it didn't come until the following week.
[Google Chromecast] Mr-Glass:
I just cancelled my Amazon order - I have been hawking the BBuy website.. In our area trucks deliver Thursday and Friday - Picked one up today at BBuy - sweet thing was - I got home and had an email from them for the 3 months Netflix.. Bonus...

Got mine from amazon yesterday. Ordered it after everything was soldout
[Google Chromecast] evelbug:
Did you find it available in store on the web site, or did you go into the store and check?
[Google Chromecast] Mr-Glass:
On BB website it shows Sold Out Online however there is a link that says "Check Stores" below.. Almost all of the stores will say Unavailable, but when they get it - it will say In Store Only - the worker at BB I originally talked to told me to watch here in STL Thursdays and Fridays because as soon as they scan items received off of the truck the Website is updated with In Store Only - Hope this helps... Edit - I did call to verify they had one however before I drove over..
[Google Chromecast] evelbug:
Thanks, I've been checking the BB web site in hopes that it shows up at a local store. I wanted to order from BB originally, especially since I have a gift card for there, but they sold out before I could.

I had to go to the store myself. Website can be a hit or miss. Good luck!

[Google Chromecast] michaelg1030:
So physical best buy stores are still getting stock. This sounds a little odd. Where are these devices coming from considering there is zero inventory anywhere? I wonder if these are returned purchases or something.
[Google Chromecast] Mr-Glass:
I know the one I received was not opened at least, it had the Google protection labels in tact- also the guy from BB said their store got 8 total this time, and the person before me picked up 5 of them.. perhaps they were returned from an online order - but I really doubt it..
[Google Chromecast] TabGuy:
Like a lot of multi-channel retailers Best Buy keeps separate inventory in their distribution centers for Internet and stores. The stores got an initial allotment and it appears that they waited to see the sales velocity at each store before deciding which stores to replenish.

Ordered mine from Amazon on July 27th. Order is still showing mid Oct to early Nov despite getting the "shipping in the next few weeks" email

Anyone venture to guess when my Amazon order might ship?

I ordered 25th. It said my order would arrive October too until earlier today. Not it says the 16th of this month.
[Google Chromecast] ImagePree:
Picked one up yesterday at the local bestbuy after checking their website and received the 3 month Netflix deal.

Of course, the Amazon order was promptly cancelled before I even walked out of the store.

Just checked again this morning and it looks like a lot of the local NYC bestbuys have them in stock. However, it's only available at the store.

[LG Optimus G Pro] nnotis:
I finally may have found a site that sells replacement back covers for the OGP. While the E980 back looks fine, its cross hatch design is much less appealing to me than the Nexus 4 style the other versions have. For anyone else interested, here's a link:

http://diggloving.com/black-battery-door-back-housing-cover-case-for-lg-optimus-g-pro.html

Unfortunately, the pictures only show the inside. So I can't be sure which pattern is present on the outside. Also, the F240 has an antennae while the E980 doesn't. I'm not sure if that changes the shape of the back. Can anyone confirm if this is so? Hopefully one back size fits all variants.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
I was looking at some on eBay the other day. There`s a few on there as well.
[LG Optimus G Pro] aygriffith:
I just ordered the LG Branded one (carrier free) for the E986 from a eBay seller in Spain. It shipped for about 26 bucks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] quailallstar:
Got the same exact one from Spain. How long did it take for yours to arrive?
[LG Optimus G Pro] aygriffith:
I'll let you know but other than a ship notice from eBay I don't have it yet. It listed 2 to 4 weeks and if it's anything like other internationally sourced parts it will take at least 3 full weeks to arrive. I'm a little less than a week past the purchase point right now.
[LG Optimus G Pro] quailallstar:
Got it! I ordered mine on Friday. Thanks...
[LG Optimus G Pro] nnotis:
I just got mine in the mail. Unfortunately, one of the little flaps that snaps it to the rest of the phone doesn't line up. Presumably this relates to the slightly different design of the F240. When I have some time, I'll try cutting it off and gluing it where it needs to be for the E980.
[LG Optimus G Pro] quailallstar:
Ahhh that's a little disappointing :( Post pics pre and post modification please.
[LG Optimus G Pro] aygriffith:
So you specifically bought an F240 door? I wonder if the ones on eBay marketed as E988 doors have the same problem. Any chance you could take that pic from the site linked above and circle the out of place tab in the picture and post it here? I'd like to compare it to the eBay door pictures.
[LG Optimus G Pro] aygriffith:
I received the new E986 rear battery cover and mid-plate today to put on my AT&T E980. As far as I can tell everything looks like it should line up appropriately on both parts. I'm waiting for a new front glass and frame to show and I'm replacing all three simultaneously.

Be advised for consistency sake, the mid-plate is very clearly labeled E986 in etchings. If that bothers you don't order the part from the Spanish distributor. Also the battery door at the top is labeled "G Pro_1 >PC< SY2" where the original E980 door is labeled "SY3" I think. That may be as simple as the very different pattern on the door.

Let me know if there's any other questions. I have midterms the beginning of next week in my masters classes so I probably won't swap the parts till mid late next week. At that point I'll pretty much have a new phone.
[LG Optimus G Pro] nnotis:
It looks like E98X back covers are the way to go. See the attached image for how the F240 back doesn't line up. I started hacking it up with a box cutter. I've almost got it to fit right. I believe it also lacks wireless charging support. I remember reading that the F240 doesn't have it out of the box. I don't currently have a wireless charger to test it on though. Finally, there's "4G LTE" written in the middle. The one posted above doesn't have that, and looks better to me eyes.
[LG Optimus G Pro] aygriffith:
It looks like there is not a wireless charging coil on that door for the Qi charging system. I'd return that one and order the door off of eBay out of Spain with the LG logo. It definitely has a Qi charging coil in it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] quailallstar:
Just got the back cover I ordered from Ebay in Spain. Snaps on just like the AT&T one and looks to have the wireless charging as well but don't have any way to really test it.

By the way I'm loving the LG cover which has the same patterns as the Nexus 4. The ATT one looks more yellowish and bland in my opinion when compared side by side. Now onto taking the plastic off this new phone, SIM unlocking, Rooting and ATT debloating! Happy the exterior has nothing else ATT-like on board.
[LG Optimus G Pro] nnotis:
I also just got one from Spain. It's definitely the way to go. It fits perfectly and has that excellent Nexus 4 look.
[LG Optimus G Pro] quailallstar:
Happy to hear!!

Bought the one being sold in ebay from Spain (for E986) l. I recieved it here in Philippines exactly 3 weeks from date of purchase. I own an AT&T E980. I confirm that it snaps on perfectly. Also has NFC & Wireless charging (though I can't test coz I dont have a Q charger).
[LG Optimus G Pro] markusrussell225:
LG needs to seriously consider selling various designed back covers for their phones. The Moto-X personalization strategy seems like a great way to stand out among the competition. I want a snap-on wood back for the G Pro to get that OEM factory finish look, but a decal skin is all I can settle for.
