Yep. Only ARHD is 1gb as a zip. I'm just confused as to why it unpacks to so big.

Ok, thanks anyway. :)

i tried to do the "scan whole device" thing with Titanium Backup and it still didnt work. I might have to completely wipe the whole phone :crying:.

Would i have to re-unlock the boot loader and re-root?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
What was the result of "detect", didn't it give you two locations for the backups:confused:

In either case, you won't need to re-unlock or re-root, worst case you format your sd-card (ie internal storage) using recovery. Don't forget to backup your pictures, music, etc to your PC first.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidakid:
Nah man all I get is "there's no backup location" but yeah I'll just super wipe everything. After I back up my music etc.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xephrey:
Hello friends.

Sometimes when I want to listen to something or watch a YouTube video using the handset's speakers, the volume slider has two positions: all the way down or all the way up. Both positions produce no sound. I use my MW600 most of the time via Bluetooth, but when I want to hear sound from the phone itself, I turn off Bluetooth. Does anyone know what this is? It's been an issue for a while now. I use ARHD 4.3 Google edition.

Thanks.
[Focus General] roblathkill:
I bought a Samsung Focus for a friend, unlocked it and it works like a dream down in Mexico on Telcel. Liked it so much that my OCD kicked in and I bought 2 more. 2nd one is unlocked and traveling Europe with my senior parents. It's that easy.... Great little simple phone.

So. Focus #3 has been a bear. It's a Version 1.4 and it's still locked. No big deal, I can handle that later. The issue is that it was in a drawer for a year or so, and it was never updated. It's on W7. I cannot get it to update like the others. Through Zune. I get Error 80004005. After hours of scouring these forums and trying the solutions, no dice.

I have tried Windows 7 Uploader v.7.21. It goes through the motions, but doesn't go back to 7004. I then tried Ver. 7.05, and it says the 4K rom is not a retail ROM.

I'm out of ideas. Suggestions on how to flash this back to a point where I can then upgrade to 7.5? The phone is basically useless without the update. Maybe the posts are old and there are better/newer solutions?

Any help / direction would be appreciated.

Best regards,

Rob

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guyinlaca:
I got the Droid MAXX yesterday and the phone is amazing except that I notice the signal strength varies wildly depending on how its held and other factors. In one location half a block from the tower I'd have -57db 1x strength and 5 bars and if moved 5 feet it would show -79 db 1x and 3 bars. The same thing happened in the middle of an open parking lot. I'm wondering if I got a bad phone or if Verizon phones always fluctuate 10-20 db when moved. I've dropped no calls or had any data dropouts but such fluctuations concern me. By the way at -57 db speed test results were 45-55 MBps, at -79 db they were roughly 15-20 MBps.

Edit: when comparing to a Galaxy s4, the maxx does maintain better rf though it fluctuates a lot more. Perhaps the maxx refreshes signal reading faster than the GS4?

Hi all just purchased jasjar. and have a funny problem.I use pocket player with file caching and visulisations on full.the spectrum analyser works ok on mains power but sluggish on battery power.

does the jasjars cpu scale down power on battery power?

Also the total memory is supposed to be 128MB rom and 64MB ram.

All see is total storage 43.72 and program 47.93 this seems to me to be less memory than my PDA2K which is storage 62.88 and program 62.89 and spectrum display is not sluggish on my 2K on battery or mains power

Whats going on??
[General Topics] AlanJC:
The program memory isn't an issue for you, it's purely for running apps, wheras on devices running WM2003se or older, the RAM is split dynamically between storage and running.

I *think* the JasJar has 128MB Flash ROM which is split into 32MB for the OS, and 16MB for the Extended ROM, leaving you with 80mb pure storage.

The XDA 2, 2i, and 2s for instance have 128mb RAM only, and while this is split 50/50 by the OS, you can adjust the slider manually, and install more than 64mb worth of stuff, although the less run space you leave, the more work the device will have to do if you run multiple apps, and the more slow down you get.

As for the speed, yes, on mains it will not scale the CPU, on battery it will, and you should have a speed option in the power settings for normal or turbo, or words to that effect. All PPC's with the 520 and above CPU's have had this so far, so seems unlikely this device would not.

So I recently came across the problem that when I try to send an email, the email app doesn't start to suggest emails from my contacts... It worked before and I didn't change anything. All of the settings are in the correct position to allow filling, but it just doesn't... Am I the only one with this problem? It's driving me insane, because I can't seem to find a useful query to use in Google that comes up with a useful solution.

Am I alone?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
i don't get it...how has no review shown this at all?

when you go home, the phone lags out for like 2 seconds. you can't switch screens..it's like it's unresponsive for a second or two before it starts chugging along. this wasn't shown in any video at all.

try it with keyboard up or without..you'll notice it with keyboard, because when you hit home, it takes like 3-4 seconds for the keyboard to dropdown and go away..that's bc it's like hung up when you're going home.

anyone else notice this? other than that, this phone rocks.

*edit*

the issue is def launcher redraw. when it's redrawing, it doesn't allow you to switch between homescreens or open folders, and it's a delayed response if you attempt to. hopefully our devs can do a modded launcher that won't redraw, or we can get some kinda bulletproof launcher script going.

VIDEOS:

of course when i went to film it, i couldn't get it to do it. took forever, but i finally got something. it isn't the 100% frozen issue, but it shows it getting caught mid-home screen because it's trying to redraw the launcher.

**NOTIFICATION DROPDOWN LAG SOLVED**

and here's the super annoying notification dropdown lag on the lockscreen (this happens when youre on the launcher and you unlock..if you're in a settings menu and your phone locks, and then you hit power and do the dropdown on your lockscreen, it WON'T lag like this..it will only lag if the last place you were was the launcher. wtf is up with this stupid launcher? lol)

turns out that you CAN NOT set a homescreen wallpaper to NON SCROLL, or else you get this annoying lag. as long as you set a wallpaper to SCROLL, then it won't lag at all. makes absolutely NO sense, but yeah. just tested.

had to lay down the law on their asses. bunch of douchebags lol

anyway, doesn't happen everytime...any of you use swiftkey? when youre using the keyboard and you just hit home, it stays up for like, 3 seconds or so. it's getting caught up somewhere with the launcher perhaps.

ha i should've known it was swiftkey! bah.

i remember when i got the gs4 there were reports of swiftkey literally lagging down the phone by just being installed, even when not in use.

i LOVE that keyboard, but damnit, they really need to optimize it correctly!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBMC:
Have to agree about SwiftKey. It lags on my nexus 7. It is absolutely frustrating on my gnex. Seems to run fairly well on the nexus 4 and on the s3 with aokp.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
eh just uninstalled swiftkey and it made no difference. it's like when you go home, wait a second and then start scrolling, or else you'll notice lag. i'll just stop trying to be so speedy on my phone :P
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBMC:
A phone with these specs shouldn't lag. I sure hope the bootloader gets unlocked so aosp can be installed. That made a huge difference on the s3. I personally haven't gotten the phone yet. I am trying out a nexus 4 on t-mobile. Unfortunately, I get no signal in my house. So t-mobile is a no go. I was hoping this could be my next Verizon phone, because my gnex lags terribly. Using this nexus 4 is spoiling me quickly.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah man, sorry I gave you an early approval that SwiftKey was working smooth. It does most of the time, but I have major lag when the keyboard is up and I hit the home button to get out of Hangouts. It takes up to 5 seconds at times. :banghead:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
yup! so it's a combo of swiftkey and i'm thinking the launcher perhaps. i now wait a second before i start moving around in the launcher, or else there will be much lag and delay.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
I have always loved SwiftKey and exclusively use it, but I don't want to get rid of this phone just because of it. You have any other keyboard suggestions?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkestred:
I think you'll like it. Highly customizable. I type fairly fast but when I lay the phone down in landscape and type like I'm on a real keyboard, I fly. Thumb keyboad actually laughs at me begging me to go faster.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisexv6:
This issue just crept up in the Gnex forum/thread. Swiftkey being installed and enabled causes lag at times.

BUT there are a couple fixes you can try: 1. disable the stock keyboard (under Languages and Keyboard, just uncheck the Android keyboard choice) and/or 2 (if rooted): freeze/uninstall the android keyboard in Titanium Backup. Basically make it so that the OS doesnt have to think about what keyboard to pop up.

Im also further wondering if Swiftkey, as an app, is getting "killed" once its idle for a bit so it literally has to restart before letting you type. Something like System Monitor might allow you to prevent it from getting killed/memory collected.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
I have a feeling its all with LG's UX. I have gotten lag here and there and its kinda disappointing with the specs of this phone. I've switched to Nova and its running alot better.

Also, not necessarily lag, but whenever I unlock my phone the bottom home buttons awkwardly appear appear. Anyone else notice this?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamezr:
WOW....Mine does not do that at all. This phone is faster than my S4 so far. I have had no lag at all and the battery life is amazing.

I have the Verizon version completely stock. The only minor complaint i have is the overall sound volume seems kinda low. Otherwise this is going to be my daily driver from now on.....
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmill75:
MAYBE a quick stutter here and there, but certainly not what I'm reading on here. 3 or 4 sec lag? I have never experienced anything like that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamezr:
Are you rooted? Do you have any apps frozen with Titanium Backup? Have you tried a factory reset? The lag you are describing is not normal. You might have a defective unit.....
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
for the most part, a quick stutter due to launcher redraw is not a bad device lol it seems that the only advice on XDA now is people telling anyone that any small problem warrants a return bc of bad hardware...no wonder the guy at verizon gave me such a hard time to return it due to a dead pixel :p

unfortunately, i was cursed by having the ability to literally see any lag/framerate drops that other people never seem to see. i've had it since the incredible days, and whenever i'd ask others about it on xda, i'd get like 1 guy who would agree with me. hell, the only person who agreed with me consistently was wizeguydesigns because he's just as bad as i am lol

ok so i'm pretty sure the thing here is launcher redraw. from my post on android central:

"the only lag i've found on this deals with the launcher. when going home, or unlocking the phone, if you attempt to change home pages left/right too fast, it will lag out..the launcher refreshes almost every time you come back to it, it seems, and while it's refreshing, it doesn't allow you to move pages, or open folders. however, double tap to screne off still works, so it's some type of launcher issue.

for example, i have my calendar widget on my second screen. when the launcher refreshes, you see little circles bc it's gathering data to refresh that widget. whewni shut the screen off and turn it back on from that screen, i'll notice it doing that, and while it is, i can't switch home screens, and when they finally move ( a delayed response) it's a bit choppy. seems to me the issue here is launcher reload. hopefully we can fix it somehow iwth root. i remember in the galaxy S3/4 days, they always said to drop the dalvik vm heapsize to like 128 to help with launcher reload...but i don't wanna do that because i can't nandroid yet w/o a backup, bc i know if you mess that up, you can end up in a bootloop."

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan409:
I am having the exact same problem when unlocking my phone. When I unlock it the soft-key background is off then it comes on for about 2 seconds and I can't do anything until it goes off again. I noticed that if I want to open any apps while its doing this I have to double click on them to open them instantly. That also makes the soft-key background disappear faster. No problems with the stock keyboard though.

EDIT: I found the problem I was having. It was being caused by Beautiful Widgets. I had to turn off (in general setting) Unlock Animations. No more backgrounds coming up behind soft-keys and apps open instantly after unlocking.

But yeah man, my first smartphone was the Incredible and I remember you and I going on about the lag and people thought we were nuts.

Well, here we are years later and I'm still super sensitive to lag lol. However I don't think I'm having your issue as much on my AT&T variant. I just opened my calendar, hit home and immediately started scrolling with no problem. Am I doing it wrong?

The lag I'm a little more bummed about is the delay after opening the sms app and clicking on conversations. It takes a little while. Even clicking on settings has a delay before you get to the settings screen. Other than that, things have been mostly fast and smooth.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crooke356:
Google 'Gram' (graphic ram). It's a feature LG introduced(?) with this phone to help save battery. Sounds like this could possibly be your culprit or at least in combination with some app or setting. Just a thought.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
guys do me a favor and help me try an experiment, if you've got time. so anyone who uses calendar do this: setup the agenda widget on your screen.

now go and do a bunch of stuff, and then hit home. notice your agenda widget, which last time you saw it was full of the appointments, now have the spinning circles signifying a refresh in the widget? that's the launcher redrawing. now, when this is happening, try to flick through the screens. you can't. it's dead in the water for a few until it fully redraws.

on stock android, even while redrawing you can flick through screens.. because stock JB launcher redraws all the time on my nexus 7. but it does it a hell of a lot faster than the g2.

that's how I first noticed it. it redraws maybe 8 out of 10 times when going home. that means the phone is killing off the launcher and it has to be pushed back into memory. there must be a way to lock it into memory to refrain from redraw.
