Don't worry!

I have been a super fan of LG's devices for about the past year, and i also "freak out" when i see the lack of love it recieves, not only from stores, but reviewers as well. What little attn it gets, the reviewers "dog it" big time.... But, i am beginning to believe that despite all the lack of carrier/reviewer support, their products are becoming so good that "slowly but surely" they are going to rise to the top.

Because like you mentioned, the LG Optimus G, the Nexus & the LG Optimus Pro have barely gotten a "raised eyebrow" and yet they kept "trudging thru the cell phone wasteland" and despite ALL the competition, they have designed and delivered (to ALL 4 carriers no less) this latest product, which i believe to be "the best smartphone available today"....

I know the Note 3 is about to be unveiled (or already is, i no longer keep up with Sammy) but quite frankly, even with 3 GB of RAM that phone will still stutter, wheeze and lag...why? because i believe they have YET to optimize Touchwiz to work on Jelly Bean, they seem to have ceased "dedicated software development AFTER ICS (which to me their SGS III was there finest work- Google "Jellybean ruined my SGS III" you'll see the zillions of miserable posts)

What i love most about LG these days is that they seem to be conscious about the consumer's pocketbook while still turning out good quality, high spec'ced devices, and their UI is soooo amazingly customizable, it almost makes Custom Roms completely unnecessary (oops, am i allowed to say that here?! lol) i mean, it has onboard icon customizing for goodness sake...don't like the folder? change it...the color of the folder? change it...the placement of the "always present app draw button? move it!...doesn't matter...LG lets you do it- and all without slowing down or stuttering one iota!

I just keep "spreading the word" how GREAT LG Devices have become, (to anyone who will listen....lol) and i am hopeful they will prevail. I know i am sure doing my part...lol

Ms D

P.S. That's what i'm talkin' 'bout: FINALLY a fantastic review with NO "buts" or "whining about plastics" ...lol Someone finally brave enough to tell the truth: LG G2 Review http://androidcommunity.com/lg-g2-review-20130914/ via [MENTION=1422446]Androids[/MENTION] Go Cory Gunther!
[G2 General] burningembers:
The store I got my G2 at had it posted at $579.99 but it only cost me $540 as well, without Next, I just paid full retail. Not sure if that was intentional or not.
[G2 General] clovis_ll:
I got that 540 price off contract. No NEXT no installment plan whatsoever. I just bought the phone and switched my att sim with my current plan.
[G2 General] zounduser:
No, they don't knock the price down. The reason some are paying 540.00 and others 575.00, is because of the ATT next plan. If u are a ATT customer then u will most likely pay the lower 540.00. However, I am not a ATT customer, I payed the "next" price for the ONE and the lg og pro. 540.00 for the ONE and 400.00 og pro. When I went to pick up the G2, they said I wasnt supposed to get the "next" price on the 2 previous phones and they charged me 574.99 for the G2.

So........some stores probably don't know they aren't supposed to give that price. All I can say is enjoy it while it lasts. Lol.
[G2 General] spdwiz18:
This is my first LG phone and love it so far. My wife has the LG opt g pro (I think that's the name) and I didn't care for the skin on. So I went to 3 stores to play with this one. First 2 had no clue. Third walked me straight to it. Awesome customer service. And I feel in love with the phone. My favorite thus far. 32g and black. And definitely has a better WiFi radio then my st.

[G2 General] nickn850:
You didn't understand what I said. The price defaults to 540 at the register. They should have marked it back up but didn't.
[G2 General] Gasaraki-:
I walked in to a Verizon retailer a day before launch, asked them if they have the LG G2. THey said yeah but they can't sell it till tomorrow. They showed me the phone. They asked me why I want the G2, and not the S4... I told them and came back the next day to buy it. The guy asked me "you still want the G2?" I said yes. The G2 is underrated and not marketed enough.
[G2 General] milestide25:
It was very clear based on the SKU number I gave her that I was speaking about the LG G2. This same girl attempted to answer my questions another time on the chat that day. She was a moron and knew almost nothing.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyfl:
Oh dear this is quite embarrassing

I had a one x that broke a total of 7 times that htc eecided to give me a htc one for the trouble.

Turned the phone on for first time today and all it does is constantly bootloop. Tried factory reset from pressing power and vol down. Dosent help. Any ideas ?

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edepot:
The Flash is probably screwed... Try reflashing to stock...

You need to relock your bootloader and flash a RUU.zip which is the stock 4.1.2.

[YOUTUBE]8FTQBxSSiA8[/YOUTUBE]
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyfl:
The phone is fully stock and the bootloader is locked..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
He's been spamming every post with that video, ignore it.

Unless you wanna go digging around and try to fix it, and risk HTC saying whatever you try to do to fix the bootloop is what caused it, I'd say call HTC.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyfl:
Yeah I mean ive factory reset it and still no dice. I just wondrr is this a common problem with new ones ? Its kinda ironic that I would get sent a spanking new flagship to redundant a phone that broke 7 times and the new one dosent even boot out the box. Im actually quite sad and fed up. So speak to htc then ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoryTallman:
I feel your pain. I haven't heard of it happening before, but there has been many quality control issues with the one.

Yah I'd call them, the first step to trying to fix it would be either unlocking it, or s offing it, and you run the risk then of saying you're the reason it bootloops...

Sorry there's no easy fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
My first droid was a Motorola Droid X. Moved on to the X2 and then the nexus. I'm not 100% positive, but I think the X came out in 2010. Both the X and X2 were EOL by VZW pretty quickly. Which I thought was odd especially since the X2 was the first dual core phone if memory serves me correctly.

Anyways my dad was telling me he got notified about a system update today. I told him there was no freaking way Verizon sent an OTA to his phone. So it was booting and when it booted back up I saw that message. (Picture attached.)

So the Droid X just got what looks to be an OTA kernel update. I honestly never thought that phone would see any kind of OTA, ever again.

So what do you think this means as far as an official 4.3 or possibly KitKat OTA from Big Red for our phones? I posted a topic in that phones forum, but I figured I would post it here and see what you guys thought about it and if it means maybe we will get an update. Just something to discuss. If I'm breaking the rules mods feel free to lock this. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExodusC:
I don't think this belongs in the Galaxy Nexus forum for one, but there's absolutely no way it's even a 4.3 update, much less Kitkat.

Motorola long ago confirmed it wouldn't even get ICS, correct? Motorola during that time had a terrible habit of releasing phones that were practically EOL'd at launch (I know, I own a Droid 2 Global).

I can say with 99.9% certainty it's probably a small patch that does something like close exploits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
Yeah that's about all it does. Looks like it's a couple days old, too. Just got pushed to my dads phone today is all.

I just posted this here because our phone really wasn't updated that long ago by Verizon but a lot of forum members I see in different topics seem doubtful the Verizon nexus will ever see 4.3, let alone KitKit. I understand we're talking about kernel exploit patches vs operating systems here, but if they'll update a phone that old (just a patch or not) is there maybe hope they are working on our phone still? Maybe just wishful thinking? :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ExodusC:
Well, it would be on Motorola and Google to make the updates for the Droid X2 and the Galaxy Nexus, respectively. Verizon's only part is in their "extensive testing" that delays everything to ensure phones aren't doing something to screw with their network (but of course, Apple is exempt from these testing regulations, I guess they're somehow more trustworthy than Google).

So, it's not really Verizon potentially updating the Galaxy Nexus, it's Verizon accepting and pushing out Google's update (hypothetically- we don't know if they will bother updating the toro devices to 4.3+ or not).

This means that Motorola would have to make an update and submit it to Verizon, and considering they have already said the device will not be updated past Gingerbread, I don't think that will happen.

That's why I really only advocate getting onto a GSM carrier and buying an unlocked Nexus device from Google to anyone I know who expects timely Android updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
The Verizon galaxy nexus will eventually be updated. Likely after the next update so WiFi auto connect isn't broken. Right now it is and that's a major issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] warchyld77:
If I wanted a phone that is basically uncustomizable I would've gotten an iPhone!!! Waiting on developers sucks.. I'm sorry I appreciate the work but everyone ran from this s4 issue. Hashcode is the only one man enough to keep working on it but still no roms or able to thoroughly use safestrap. I'm about to sell my phone and get the Note 3.. you suck verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ajgates92:
Why don't you do it then if you are tired of waiting.. Surely it can't be that hard right?... Kick rocks. The developers here are badass at what they do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Just a friendly suggestion to the OP. Take it to Verizon's forums and ***** and whine. Here @ XDA, we both appreciate and have patience with the developers for what they have done and continue to do for us.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bfmetcalf:
can't wait to watch you get that note 3 and have it be locked down too, if you have verizon, it will be locked down, I don't understand why folks think that the Note 3 will be any different than this phone. Also, if you're sick of waiting do some research and start developing, otherwise take rants like this to a blog and leave the rest of us that _actually_ appreciate the work alone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mattevt:
To whom is this post directed? If you are mad at the developers, then you are being an asshole. If you're just letting off steam about Verizon's policies, I don't think this is the place to do it.

That said; if you have ME7, try returning it under warranty and see if you can get MDK. That worked for me. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] warchyld77:
First of all, I said Hashcode who is a recognized developer is the only one working at this and I appreciate it. Verizon sucks and developers have ran from working on the bootloader. As far as everything else is concerned I was just saying that I thought we'd be father along by now and my opinion is my opinion don't read it if you don't want to. I never said any developers suck so get your facts straight and responding to all you other guys comments is pointless.

Hi Everyone,

OK, I am completely new to using tablets and android (and XDA! :D) but I recently bought an Android tablet and although I put AV s/w on it I seem to have caught a bug. The problem is that, apparently, my settings app is now malware and it seems the only option to resolve it is to uninstall my settings application. Understandably I don;t want to forge ahead and do this because then I cannot manage my device. Anyone got any suggestions or can point me somewhere that could help? I have trawled the internet for an answer but haven't found anywhere reporting the same thing, so far. I am flummoxed and getting very frustrated. Also, any recommendations for malware prevention apps? Ta.

Thanks for taking time to read this. Sorry if it's in the wrong place!
[General Questions and Answers] immortalneo:
You do know you should provide more details like which phone, which firmware, what antivirus app, etc. ;)

But the simplest answer you would get is to stop using antivirus apps. Because most of them are hoaxes or give false results. There is nothing wrong with your settings app. I suggest you uninstall the AV app first. :)
[General Questions and Answers] BlankScreen:
It's not a phone, it's just a no-mark tablet (Tabtronics, if that makes any difference).

Seeing as the last several days (maybe a week now) it has had serious performance issues -- crashing, rebooting itself without my initiating it, not turning on for long periods, notification messeges telling me apps don't work when I have never tried to use them -- I'd say this is not a false result. And the AV (Avast) is the same brand I've been using on my desktop for years and has always been fiine, and I've had no problems with it until the last week.

Seems odd that the assumption here is that there isn't a problem, when there are a shed load of articles online stating how vulnerable Android is to malware. Unfortunately I can't find any that tell you where to go/ what to do in order to get rid of the bug. :crying:

Anyway, thanks for the reply. :)
[General Questions and Answers] immortalneo:
Here's a good discussion that might interest you:

As for the issues you have, I would attribute it to either a rogue app or low memory. Try uninstalling any apps you recently installed. Also, try clearing app caches, freeing memory etc. See if that helps. :)

Hi! I bought this phone with Android 4.1.1

Baseband version: P770.W12.22.SPV15.P15,2013/03/25 18:35

Build Number Lenovo P770_S127_130510

It is a good phone, but it seems to have a chinese rom/firmware and google play services are missing (Instead are a lot of Chinese app).

I want to root the phone and to have installed google services. I need to remove chinese app.

What do you reccomend, to flash entire firmware, or to root and install google services?

Please help me how!

I tried to follow instructions from:

Another thing is that when I press Power and booth vol buttons it doesn't happen nothing. When I press Power+Volume Up it shows a screen with a chinese text menu with 4-5 lines.

What can I do?

please Help me!

I recently installed the Xperia Carbon Rom to the HD+ and did a full wipe and cache cleanup through CWM...or so I thought.

Today, as I was looking through my storage settings, I noticed that I only had 3.68 GBs of storage left in Internal Memory...I haven't instaled anything, and am using the barebones rom as it is.

I hooked the Nook up to my PC and found that EVERYTHING from my prior rom was still in internal memory....everything.

My question is, is there a surefire way, script, flash, or otherwise, that I can wipe my Nook HD+'s internal memory without damaging the device or erasing the recovery partition?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You must be talking about your media files on your internal sdcard. Those are not wiped with a "full" wipe in CWM. It saves your media files. If you want to do a 'full-full' wipe, including your media files, go to mounts and storage in CWM and choose 'format data and datamedia'.

I guess I'll have to try that later...I guess I got used to the old Nook's way of formatting.

Hey,

Wondering if anyone could help me figure out what's going on.

I flashed illusion 4.3 the other day and started noticing the phone over heating while using YouTube which its never done before. Flashed back down to the previous version of illusion 4.2.2 (clean install, clean wipe etc.) And its still over heating where as it didn't on that version before.

I didn't want to post about an older version of the ROM in the illusion thread so that's why I'm here.

I read about undervolting as a solution but I've never done that, I'm wondering if anyone could suggest an app to do that and their settings. Also open to flashing another kernel(I'm on the stock kernel that came with illusion) if that is a possible solution.

Any suggestions welcome.

I got my mda pro some weeks ago. Now i had a strage issue as I hard reseted the device: it showed some items in the controlpanel menu, that were not there before like: GPS settings, Contrast...

On the next reset they were gone again.

Does anybody know, how i can unhide them again? Is there a registry entry? a key combination?

thanks in advance

removed the redirect value there,

powered off, waited 10 seconds, held power and hit reset,
