[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
It makes perfect sense to me. Unless you can see the future, which nobody can, how do you know which phone will have more OTA updates? Nobody knows this information when they buy a phone. For all we know, LG may have turned a corner and is now totally committed to frequent updates for their flagships. We just don't know.

As far as dev support, two new roms just popped up on the AT&T version in the last couple days. I'm assuming it won't be as much as a Samsung device, but it's already moving pretty good.

I know I really sound negative, but I can't tell you enough how I wouldn't recommend a Samsung phone. I'm only doing this to help people because I've owned a S3, Note 2 and S4. Samsung simply hasn't optimized their software for Jelly Bean and it shows.

I bought the S4 on blind faith figuring it had great specs so how can it lag right? Boy was I wrong. That thing was a stutter and lag monster and no custom rom or kernel completely took it away. Touchwiz just simply isn't optimized. Folder enter and exit animations were terrible as were entering and exiting some apps. And there was homescreen UI lag too.

Anyways, the choice is obviously yours, but I would whole heartedly recommend the G2 over the Note 3 unless you need the bigger size for some reason.
[G2 General] barondebxl:
Nobody can know which phone will get updates first but i think you are missing the point here. Which device between the Note 3 and G2 launched with the very latest version of android? Exactly. That tells you which OEM is more on it. I'm not saying that the G2 wont be updated in an acceptable timely fashion but its good to give credit where credit is due. From the looks of it, samsung does a better job at getting software updates asap and i think it is more than fair to say.

Now i have owned pretty much every flagship phones since 2010 ( HTC, Samsung, Apple and LG), no joke, so i am very well aware of each oem strength and weaknesses and i agree, samsung's touchwiz UI really isnt as optimized as it should be with the exception of the note 2. The S4 lagged like hell, S3 was ok for me but still and now i am seeing reports from the note 3 forum as well as in some reviews that the note 3 has occasional stutter and stock web browser hang ups which the G2 does not suffer from at all. So i understand what you mean.

PErsonally, i think i have made up my mind and will go with the G2. Why ( if anyone cares), because the G2 is lag free, has about the same exceptional battery life as the Note 3, much more affordable, can go toe to toe with the Note 3 in terms of specs, really intrigued by the back buttons, owned the G pro before and had a really great time with it and the G2 is similar but with more features and more power and last but not least, because im getting tired of touchwiz. After owning the Galaxy S1, S2 tmobile version and international version, S3, S4 snapdragon and octa core version, note 1 and note 2, touchwiz has barely changed and has become almost tacky to me. I need something different and it looks like the G2 is exactly what i need now.

Edit: sigh...i ordered the note 3. Thats how confused i was between the 2 devices. Oh well, if i dont like it at least i can easily sell it and get the G2 much cheaper.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsnarayan10:
Hello guys,

I use Galaxy Note-N7000 and the issue with my device is ever since I upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.2,my device has slowed down,I am now starting to think its because of Note unable to handle Jelly Bean.I even tried factory resetting and re-installing Jelly bean a couple of times,but it hasnt helped.I also see RAM consumption being very high with only a few apps on my device.

What could be slowing down my device?I was told Kernels speed up our devices,will it work?If so can you guys recommend me any good kernels and steps to install them?

I would really appreciate any help,guys.Please be kind:)

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
That's normal. Whether use ics or higher than 4.1.2.

It will always lag.

To flash custom kernel do it via Odin or root Your phone and install kernel from cwm.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slacker9:
Hello All, I have been looking for a way to root my AT&T HTC One X, but I am getting conflicting information. The reason I would like to root the phone is to enable tethering and remove the bloatware. The phone is sim unlocked and I am using it on a carrier that has free tethering/Hotspot unfortunately there is some sort of lock by AT&T that is preventing me from tethering or using my phone as a hotspot even though I am using a non AT&T sim card. Some information I have seen in threads are that the bootloader has to be unlocked before rooting, some said it doesn't have to be. Anyways here is the specs of the phone I have. Maybe someone has a solution that I can use...

Model

HTC One X

Android Version

4.0.4

HTC Sense Version

4.0

Software Number

2.20.502.7 710RD

HTC SDK API Level

4.23

Kernel Version

3.0.8-01558-g7f75e5b

root@ABM009#1

SMP PREEMPT

Baseband Version

0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L

Build Number

2.20.502.7 CL79936 release-keys

Ok so that info is exactly how it is written on the phone

Amy help will be greatly appreciated...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vang2k:
Yes you would need to root your phone and unlock your bootloader to be able to remove bloatware/tether. To root your phone and unlock is very easy. If you like using HTC Sense roms I don't remember if they have tethering enabled. I am currently using the CM 10.2 rom and it has wifi hotspot and tethering capabilities. It's lightweight and free of bloat. All the answers should be easy to find in the stickies.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You need to post your hboot information, the Android information is irrelevant to unlocking/rooting. To get into hboot do this:

Power off phone completely.

Hold volume down and then hold power, so you're holding them together.

Let go of power after a few seconds, but keep holding volume down until it reaches the white screen with text.

This is your bootloader. Please post the first five lines you see at the top of the screen.

You can use tethering on Sense ROMs, as long as they're not at&t based.

PS. Questions go in the q&a section, I'll ask for this to be moved for you.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] _cheh_:
Hey Guys,

i've a x10 mini pro with naa's miniCM Rom and of course his kernel.

But what i don't understand is why the hardwarekeyboard, especially the blue button and the layout (i need a german qwertz layout) dosen't work by default.

In an other thread i found a working solution with a zip i needed to flash. now my keyboard works as it should do, but i don't understand what the problem was.

And because i'm a nosy person i would like to understand what the problem is.

Is someone here able to explain it to me?

(An other reason for my question is, that i tried an other keyboard (called minuum) which i really liked. But when i installed it and set it as default, my hardware-keyboard stopped to work correct. So i need a workaround so i can use both the [link "h t t p://minuum.c om/"]minuum-keyobard (@admin: if it's not allowed to post likes, please remove it) as a screen-keyboard and my hardware-keyboard (with the correct layout and with blue (and the other 'special-key-button') )

Thanks :)

Explain more what you did. You say you did the rc2 update, but to what? SD install or emmc?

And you say boot logo when trying to boot to stock emmc. You still have stock on emmc? That tells me you had CM10.1 on SD. And you flashed rc2? That is for emmc. And what does the boot logo look like? Describe it.

I allowed CM10 to initiate its own update supposedly on the SD card and the next thing I knew I couldn't access stick anymore. I tried the 8 failed boots a couple times to no avail, but on a whim I tried it again yesterday and suddenly it worked. I've got everything back the way I want it now.

Apparently I assumed that the update notice from cyanogenmod was for the OS I was actually running in hybrid mode. I won't make that assumption again.

I tried to reset the whole thing and format everything one by one including /bootdata, /system, /cache, /emmc and /data. Now I know of course the NOOK won't start. I also tried to restore the NOOK HD+ by my backup of stock rom. All the flashing process went no problem, but the NOOK HD+ won't start. Now I can't see anything when I start the HD+ without SD card.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Then it is possible you go bit by the emmc trim bug. Look at verygreen's CM10.2 thread to read about.

Edit: I see after re-reading your first post that you had the no boot problem before you formatted /bootdata. So the emmc brick issue sounds more like what is wrong.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randansto:
Thanks a lot for your help! Before I formated /bootdata, I messed up the NOOK HD+ by wrong CM package (cm-10.1.3-RC2-hummingbird). when I start the nook without SD, I still saw start picture and words for a few second, and then they would became blurred and screen turned black. After I format /bootdata, the screen has no reaction at all. For those eMMC brick issue, I didn't use any CM10.2 version before 8/15 nightly. I only used CM10.2 version after 8/30 nightly. Will it still trigger this bug?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You might try reflashing plain stock. That puts more boot files back on emmc than CM. You can get it at my HD/HD+ CWM thread linked in my signature, item 6.

The reason I thought emmc bug was how it acted, not what you were running.

Edit: I'm curious, how did you manage to flash a hummingbird ROM zip to your ovation? That is not supposed to be possible because of safety assert statements in the ROM zip.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Ok, the reason you got it back was the stock ROM adds two more boot files than a restore would do.

Always boots into CWM...

I hit a similar issue today, where the Nook HD+ will only boot into CWM.

I was using an old 10.1 build, from June 30, 2013. I decided to upgrade because of the constant reboots.

I selected the 10.1.3 RC2 build. As usual, nandroid backup, wipe data/cache/dalvik, install ROM, install GAPPS.

I found this thread, and decided to go back to stock via item #6 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2062613 , as stated above. Wiped data and cache just in case.

Reboot into CWM continues.

An EMMC trim bug was mentioned above. Does this mean I have hit that issue? Is there recovery from it?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you have the emmc trim bug there is no fixing it. But based on your description, I don't think you have it.

Did you flash the CWM to internal memory? And that is what it boots to, rather than a bootable SD? If so, you may have to PM me with your serial number and I will make a repair zip for you.

If you are booting CWM from SD, what happens if you take the SD out?

I re-flashed 10.1.3 RC2, GAPPS, and the recovery (was not sure at this point if I had rewritten it...), removed the microSD card, and it booted into CM without problems. :)

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MossyTC:
Thanks for the reply leapinlar, I think I have it sorted.

This is what I did: I turned off the power, plugged in the charger and it turned on. I wasn't expecting anything different to happen, but it booted into the stock rom, but was stuck at 99% for ten minutes. I guessed that '/data' had not been wiped correctly, so there were lots of files that it was trying to cache or index. I turned it off again, and did a factory reset using the stock nook method (which was not possible previously because of the boot loop).

I am now in the process of installing other rom again.

Thanks for your time.
