[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synt3k:
If you are on a Mac, you can sync your iPhone via iTunes to the standard Mac address book, called Contacts. Select all (command-A) and right click on any highlighted item and Export to vCard..

Create a Google account if you don't already have one, and open Gmail. Go to contacts, then import from vCard. Select the vCard and all your contacts will now be in your Google/Gmail account.

During the initial setup, Android will ask for your Google account and automatically sync your contacts.

I'm sure you can follow the same general principle on Windows with Outlook or whatever they use these days to accomplish the same thing..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisaLania:
When it comes to backup iPhone data, most of you would think of iTunes. But sometimes iTunes may refuse to work or you just don't have a computer at hand when you need to backup iPhone urgently. Apparently, in these cases, you can't create an iPhone backup with iTunes. Now you will begin to wonder whether you can back up data of iPhone without iTunes. Indeed, there are several iTunes alternatives to backup iPhone data out there. So U can find a third party iPhone backup tool, for example, iPhone Data Recovery. This data recovery program for iPhone enables you to backup iPhone data and recover them, including photos, contacts, notes, videos, messages, bookmarks, etc. You can use it to export the data from iPhone first and back them up on your Mac or Windows system easily.
[Asus Transformer TF700] 3DeX:
From what I have read, the answer is no but I have some more questions so I guess Id ask anyway.

Transformer was very expensive and I have more than a year of warranty left. On the other hand I would very much like some of the features that require root. What action is possible to roll back? Unlocking, rooting or flashing a custom rom? I need to unlock the device before I can root it right?

I would use a number of features that rooting allows, but my main desire is to be able to use keyboard dock and mouse or even a gamepad as game controllers. Only program that can do that (joy2touch) requires root. But if I had root I guess I would try Cyanogenmod too because I can only see people praising it for how greatly it improves experience.

Also, there is lots of information around here but its still not dumb enough for someone who just wants to root a device but has no idea where to start (its pretty confusing). So sorry in advance for possibly asking obvious questions.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
If you just want root to use joy2touch, then your warranty is still good. If you unlock your device, then your warranty is voided...:) you can find more information about unlock and root here.

Good luck..:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] 3DeX:
Yes but, there is rooting for either unlocked devices or devices running ICS or lower. And whatever rooting for JB I found (im running newest OTA) is only for unlocked devices as well. As I understand it, rooting does not void the warranty but unlocking does? Does that mean im screwed? I dont even know the difference between unlocking and rooting...
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
A rooting is allowed you to access your system files so you can modify them as will. A unlocking is allowed you to install custom rom and recovery. Someone else may have a better explaination for you.

No, you still can root your device if you have a bootloader .8 or earlier. If you have the latest bootloader, you can downgrade and root it..;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Rooting exploits a bug in the kernel, not in the bootloader, so it's the ROM/kernel build 10.6.1.14.8, not the bootloader build. But it's always the same on locked devices anyway. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] 3DeX:
Uhm... you are confusing me even more. So is there a rooting guide that doesnt involve unlocking, can be reverted or doesnt void warranty, and works with newest stock OTA?

To my knowledge I dont have any kind of bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Thanks _that. What I meant is the latest firmware from Asus.

[MENTION=4646622]3DeX[/MENTION]

1. Download the Asus firmware 10.6.1.14.8

2. Backup your personal data and everything that you like to keep to your computer or your external SD.

3. Make sure that your battery is full so it is not shutdown during the installing process..

4. Unzip it once because there is another zip file insde it.

5. Copy the second zip file to the root directory of your internal SD.

6. Reboot your tablet.

7. After reboot, you will see the downgrade notification in the lower right corner.

8. Click on the downgrade notification and follow the instructions.

9. During the installing process, Do not try to turn it off. It will reboot by itself when the installation is completed. It may take 2 to 3 minutes..:)

10. Use motochopper to root your device.

Good luck.. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ams71188:
I looked all over and didn't find anything regarding this problem on here, or anywhere else online.

Rooted my infuse awhile back, added clockwork mod earlier today successfully. Shortly after, attempted upgrading to jelly bean and fudged it all up.

My phone just shows the Samsung logo upon startup and stays that way for awhile.

After trying to hard reset (holding down the power and volume buttons), the screen that shows up is the attached picture. Its all jumbled and weird.

I can't get into download mode.

Am I screwed or what?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ejness:
Nope. Not screwed at all. You need to flash gingerbread bootloaders. Do a search and you shall find the procedure.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] murdercake:
As the post above says, you need Gingerbread bootloaders. To expand on that, and to get you to where you need to be, take the battery out of your phone and put it back in.

Now that it's off, boot it into CWM: hold down both volume buttons along with home and press the power button. The second you see anything come on the screen, release the power button but continue to hold everything else. Continue to hold these until you see a solid colored background which is CWM.

It may still look very messed up like the picture you posted. Hopefully you'll get a somewhat legible CWM (You should.). Navigate your way to installing the right zip if you have it on your phone. If not, plug in your phone to your computer and go to mounts and storage -> mount USB storage and transfer the right zip onto your phone.

If this fails miserably, do what you can to try to get to download mode. If you do all the right things, chances are it will go into download mode, and at this point it doesn't matter if you can see it or not. If you get here, and ODIN recognizes your phone, you might just want to follow this and start over -- [ODIN][UCLB3] UCLB3 Unbrick - Return to stock.

If you get the Return To Stock going, all you need to do from there to get a more recent ROM going (ICS+) is to get Entropy's CM9 running, which will ensure you are on ICS, enabling you to install Jellybean. If you get this fixed, I recommend CM10.2, Slim Bean, or Beanstalk. Once you get those up and running, you'll love it. The only thing you will have to do (after loving your new phone) is to thank the awesome devs or (even better) donate to these guys that do lots of work for no money.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ams71188:
I appreciate the help. Unfortunately I don't get a legible CWM at all, just what you see in my previous photo. Also, my computer doesn't recognize the phone when I plug it in.

From your help, I understand how to get it working after I can get into the phone's system. I guess my problem now is getting the computer to recognize that its plugged in. It seems going into the CWM (holding volume and power) just keeps giving me the same screen. even if I scroll blindly and try to pick options, nothing happens.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ams71188:
Thank you! I will attempt this when I get home from work and see what happens.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xTristinx:
I bought a used broken nexus 4 in hopes of repairing it. The phone itself gives a red light that changes depending on the USB cord I use. Upon plugging it in I must hold down the power button for more than 15 seconds to display the red led. With the original cable the led stays on solid for approx 15-20 seconds where as my s4 cable causes the device, after holding the power button for the same amount of time, flicker on and off. This action is dependent on whether or not I hold the power button down after the initial 15 seconds where as the solid led scenario it is not dependent. Another weird quirk is when plugged into the computer it gives me the error that I must reconnect the with the original cable vs displaying it as a USB input device with my s4 cable. Last but not least the battery does have a tear in the foil. I'm guess this is what is causing the problems. I was wondering if I changed the battery if it would fix it?

[Verizon LG G2] synplex:
So Ive been calling around since I've heard that most store might not have the device on the 12th, but sure enough the Verizon corp store by me in South Florida got theirs TONIGHT! I drove straight there and got to power on their demo device for the first time and play around with it. After begging the manager for about 10 mins he told me he could not sell it until the 12th, he would hold one for me either :(. So I guess I'll have to show up Thursday Morning to pick one up. They said they had more than 5 so I hoping that number is closer to 10.

The Phone itself was amazing. Felt solid in hand and the smaller metallic buttons on the back were easy to reach and were clickie enough. The screen was a little larger then the s4 and the overall size was not much larger then the s4 (my ex-phone :p). Camera app was super responsive and general speed of the phone was amazing.

Cant wait! :victory:

UPDATE: Posted Pics with Case!

You have just pissed people off for not taking pictures, checking storage, detailing the differences from other g2's and many other things. Expect to be pressured to go back by tomorrow morning ;)
[Verizon LG G2] lennyspicer7:
Considering no one has seen a US version or the back of the Verizon version in real life, I have a couple questions. Could you go into a little more detail about the button differences on the back vs the international version? Do you think it looks better or worse? Was the version you saw white or black? What about texture and feel - glossy like the GS4? A picture would be great! :D
[Verizon LG G2] cron912:
I've had mine (AT&T) since yesterday, and its pretty freaking sweet! The more I use it, the better I like the buttons on the back.

Sent from my LG G2
[Verizon LG G2] synplex:
I didnt even think to take pics :silly: since the store was closing and they wanted me out. But storage I can Confirm it was a 32GB Model in black.

The plastic back felt more solid then the s4's plastic back. It was glossy, not super slippery. From what I've seen in pics of the international version, the back button are differently smaller and metallic feeling but it provides more room for wireless charger pads.
[Verizon LG G2] synplex:
I'll try to go back tomorrow and take pics.
[Verizon LG G2] lennyspicer7:
I guess I should have said "reviewed a US version" :)

Most stores probably got theirs in drop shipments today or tomorrow.Seems like a lot of phones and tablets or delivered at the last minute.I am going to call the closest corp store tomorrow to see if they got theirs.All attention will be on the anticipation of the new iphone preorder and launch.The G2 and the Note 3 will get put on the back burner.

I have to give it to Apple though, to be able to launch a phone and have it out to all carriers in 10 days is something I don't think any of the Android manufactures will ever achieve.To much fighting over exclusives and who gets to launch it first,

They let me look at it hold it and buy it but I can't turn it on, activate it or take it home until 10 am Thursday when they open.

I plan to get a quick case so it doesn't matter if it is a finger print attractive material or not.

Battery life

Any word on battery life with that big battery? It's down to the HTC one or G2 for my upgrade from GNex.
[Verizon LG G2] chrisexv6:
While I dont mind Sense, I think the HTC is "too old" in tech days versus the brand new G2. Plus I think on Verizon, there is a better shot of being able to root/unlock an LG than an HTC (or Samsung) at this point.
[Verizon LG G2] WizeGuyDezignz:
I've had the phone since yesterday on AT&T, and the battery life is simply superb on this phone so far. Get the G2 bro. Newer tech and better battery life.
[Verizon LG G2] lumpysherman:
Thank you!! With a battery that big it has to last a while, even on VZW LTE.
[Verizon LG G2] a4udi98:
I also got a chance to test this phone out in the VZW store. The biggest drawback for me was that the boneheads at VZW put the security device right on the back near the power on and volume buttons. Really doesn't help when trying to figure out if they're comfortable to use or not.

Other observations:

- double tap screen on is great, I doubt I'll ever use the power button.

- when i compared to the htc one (other phone i was maybe gunna get) having the button on the middle of the phone seems better. Think about it this way: to operate the htc one (power button top left) you need to hit it with your index finger behind the device and then move your hand lower on the device for comfortable resting position. This is 2 hand positions. On the G2 even if you use the power button, you can reach it from normal resting position. Considering the bumer of times you hold you phone this seems optimal. (or maybe this is just specific to how I hold the phone)

- I could see the back buttons being useful if they can be activated for the remote control app. Power on, channel/vol up down, etc

- The plastic isn't great, but what can you do. I'm a bit concerned about cracking and chipping around the headphone jack (similar to the speaker ports on the HP TouchPad if anyone can relate)

Anyway, I ordered mine via the 30% coupon and got the folio case. With my 25% corp discount and NJ tax it came to $222 total and I'll be picking it up at the store on Sat. (Gotta swap out with my pops so I can keep my unlimited data!)

I went into my local corporate store to check out the LG G2 and I loved it. The guy that was there to help me wanted to know if I was going to get it and I said not at the moment but just wanted to check it out. He then mentioned that if I know that the Galaxy Note 3 is coming out soon and I was like "yeah I know but don't really like huge phones" he then said that they have the new Droid Series too i said "I do but had a Motorola phone before and want something different". My whole point is Verizon does not seem to really want to help promote this awesome phone, but instead all the mainstream phones.
[Verizon LG G2] Darkestred:
No kidding. I was asked how i heard about it and i while i was there i was talking with 3 ladies that worked at the verizon store. They were saying the LG rep was there the day before prepping the employees.
[Verizon LG G2] eighty1:
I agree with this. About a month ago I was in a Verizon store looking one of the fat super wide LG phones Verizon had and I asked why they dont get the flagship LG phones. He went on to say that basically Verizon and LG dont have good relationship so they could care less and dont really care about pushing LG phones. Yesterday I called my closest Verizon to see if they were selling it yet and he had no clue what phone I was talking about and looked it up and said, "oh, it comes out tomorrow I believe. Really??? So today Im walking into Verizon to pick it up and and the employee that usually helps me was walking out for lunch and I stopped him and asked for him to sell it out to me and he said, "what phone? I didnt know it was coming out today." He goes to back to get it and comes back out and says, "Oh I didnt know we had one on display either." The display model didnt even have the pricing and spec sheet under it or the name of it. Long story but its amazing that they have no desire to push this at all or know anything about it.
