[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cdmoore74:
Very disappointed to still see people with this problem because I took my first one back for the same issue. I could easily go up into Samsclub/walmart and cherry pick but I wanted to hold out for a better deal and I refuse to buy off ebay/online. I was thinking about a retina mini but after going from a Note 2 to a iPhone 5s I'm starting to have Android withdrawal pains. Note 3 is a better phone but I want a stock experience with quick updates. That leaves the Nexus 5 which I'm thinking about using as a mini tablet. Before you ask I'm stuck on Verizon.

If only that Officemax 20% deal came back I would pick up a 32gig.

I called to get another RMA for my tablet when the Kit Kat update came out. I just sideloaded it and it has really helped my screen issues.

I might not have to send it back.

I'm going to give it some few days before I cancel the RMA.

I actually digg the Sony album. It looks nice and it works quite well. Quickpic is good though (used it as my primary gallery app back on Gingerbread).

Hi,

Ive upgraded my blue angel to WM5 (Patch 3) and installed all the other patches.

My bluetooth is version: 1.13 and i am getting weird problem.

When i use TomTom5 via my bluetooth gps everything is fine and no connection problems. As soon as i turn on my bluetooth headset tomtom loses connection to the gps unit. If i then switch off the headset - tomtom starts recieving gps data again.

Does ajnybody know how to get the bluetooth headset icon to display in the today screen as in WM3

Hi people,

I've tried to search both in google and forum about this but to no avail.

I've got a HTC Sensation previously which i've rooted without any issue. However, when i tried to help a friend to root his Sensation XE, the power button malfunctioned only at the HTCDev's unlock bootloader menu where i have to choose yes to root the phone.

May i know if anyone encountered this problem before and any remedy to it? He's thinking of ditching HTC for samsung which i hope not if i can show him how much better HTC can be with a rooted and custom firmware.

Please kindly advise.

Thanks!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjfan82:
Hello fellow XDA'ers,

I recently purchased the LG G2 and this is my first android phone. I'm coming from an iPhone 5 (for a multitude of reasons that are not applicable to this thread). I wanted to start this thread for people like myself who have no idea on how to install a ROM on an android device. There are various ROMs being released (verizon and ATT) and I would love a general walk through on how to install. Can anyone experienced point me in the right direction or offer any advice? Thanks in advance!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antinorm:
There aren't really any custom ROMs out for the G2 yet, just a couple of debloated ROMs (stock, plus root and minus carrier bloatware). Better ROMs will come, but it will be a little while. The G2 is just too new right now to have much out for it.

For a beginner, a few things you should keep in mind before rooting or installing a custom ROM:

* Be absolutely sure that what you're doing will work on your device before you do it. For instance, don't install a recovery image for an AT&T phone on a Verizon phone, unless you want to turn it into a paperweight.

* Read instructions carefully before you do anything. You should at least have some idea of what you're doing, so that in case something goes wrong, you'll at least have a chance of recovering. Don't just blindly follow instructions and hope you don't brick your phone.

* This *will* void your phone's warranty. If your phone dies after doing this (whether it's related to this or not), and you try to do a warranty exchange, they'll respond with something that is the same in English, Italian, and Spanish -- "No." On a related note, you are taking some risk by doing this. You could possibly mess up your phone. You could do things right, and an over-the-air update could conflict with what you've done and then mess up your phone. This is a risk you assume, not the developers of whatever you're trying to do.

* These forums, as well as #lg-g2, are for help. If you're not sure about something, ask. It's better to ask than to lose $600 because you incorrectly assumed that something would work.

Overall, rooting and ROMming your phone does give you more control. Just know what you're getting into.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
There is risk involved yes, but it doesn't just straight up void your warranty in every situation. Depending on the carrier you are with and their RMA process you can get a perfect replacement with no hassle every time, and the carriers that do give trouble still have a small chance of going ahead with a replacement anyway depending on the tech you get. Many times for certain hardware issues it wont matter if you are rooted or not and you can still get a replacement as well. But choosing to unlock your device and do custom software for it you do have to accept responsibility that you could do something to break you device and that is your fault, not the manufacturer.

(skips these couple sections of text for just custom recovery and ROM install)

As for specific instruction, I cant really help much there. The instructions didn't really work well for me in the TWRP thread on XDA for installing, as there is nothing available when using Goo Manager, despite what that retarded thread says. I found better info on Rootz Wiki through a Google search on what to do, and even that was a bit wrong and I had to use some common sense to do things the right way. That common sense only comes from knowing how to use the command line and knowing how ADB commands work though, someone new to the process wont know that for themselves.

Looking over this thread for the newest info it looks like pretty much everything in this video should be correct and the download link for installing root should have everything you need:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y45SXPRb31o&feature=player_embedded

http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lg_g2/root/ioroot6.zip

That gets root access on your device. You may or may not even want to do that. That installs root into your ROM you are currently running (stock), but you want to install a custom ROM and your custom one probably already is rooted to begin with. What you most likely want to do is just go straight to installing the drivers to connect your phone properly and use ADB to send ("push") files to your phone, then use something called "Loki" to bypass the locked bootloader and flash a custom recover to your phone. From there you can install ROMs perfectly easily. You can follow this guide in the link, but it doesnt give you links to the phone and ADB drivers you will need:

http://rootzwiki.com/news/loki-bootloader-bypass-twrp-recovery-come-att-verizon-lg-g2/

Right now there is not really anything but Clean ROM available, which is the stock OS that has a bunch of the "bloated" and unnecessary LG and ATT system apps un-installed. It cleans things up a lot and gives you a much better experience. In the future hopefully we will see some AOSP based ROMs that have a lot of the good features like "knock on", and those ROMs will be best since they dont have any of the bloat that the LG ROM has, and the AOSP based stuff gets a lot better mods to them and offers far better customization and tweaking.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjfan82:
Thanks for the info! I did not know that a most ROMs come rooted. So basically, I would not need to root then install a ROM?

I have an AT&T G2 so I would be installing the Clean ROM posted in the developers section. I would love the opportunity to debloat the phone and it seems like this is the best option currently. Enigma, are you saying that the knock on and off feature does not work with this ROM?

Hello everyone,

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shea-bird:
Put your phone in USB debugging mode under developer tools...hook up the micro usb to your phone and move the zipped ROM to the root of your internal phone storage.

Or enable wireless storage via the notification drop down, you can now approach your device via Wi-Fi lan and upload whatever (it makes your device into a network drive)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaza:
Hi there guys.

So I just rooted my SGS2 for the first time, due to the fact that I wanted Tasker to be able to toggle my lock screen on and off as a function of WiFi and/or 3G antennas. However, this is quite unstable without root, and as I understand it the performance should somehow be improved with sudo rights. So I flashed to Siyah on my Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and with it came "CWM", "STweaks" and "SuperSU". As I launched CWM it asked for sudo permissions which I enabled. However, Tasker never did the same thing and I haven't experienced any improvement in the stability of my screen lock.

I tried reinstalling Tasker with no luck. Is there anything I'm missing here?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
You should contact the devs of Tasker about your issue. You can also try the beta version (don't know if its still available) to check. :)

So I use my car head unit to listen to Google play music. When playing a song the song info shows up fine for the first second then it changes to unknown then after a little the song info cones up again.

Does this happen for anyone else?
[G2 General] bri315317:
I have the same problem in my car. If I pause play back it shows. Start playing and us unknown. Using Google play music. This worked fine with my S4. Not a deal breaker for me but would like a solution.
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
Is the s4 running 4.3? Bluetooth meta data seems fixed in 4.3 but might still not work in 4.2.2 on the g2
[G2 General] Wkd1:
Same with my G2 with my aftermarket Sony BT stereo. My Rezound and Note 2 work fine with it on Google Play Music. I'm hoping it's just an update that needs to be sent.
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
I dont use Play Music, but I do use Slacker and Pandora.

On my Gnex, track information was never working until Android 4.3. My G2 acts the same way that my Gnex did on 4.2.X - you see "unknown" for track, album and artist.

I dont see it working correctly on the G2 until 4.3 is on it either. No fault of LG, it looks like bluetooth is something Google messes with every OS update, "fixing" and "breaking" stuff at the same time.
[G2 General] bri315317:
4.2.2
[G2 General] TruEastSydeBoi:
This also happens for me! I haven't really noticed it with the stock music app. But it definitely happens when using slacker or Pandora. The only thing to help it is to leave my phone plugged in so that the screen stays on since I have that set in developer settings. Then it will update without me having to pause and replay it to send the data. Also the Pandora app control mode in my pioneer xbh5500 doesn't connect with the phone app. So I have to stream it through pure Bluetooth mode. Which is quicker, just I can't thumbs up or down and pick stations through the stereo touch screen.
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
This is the one thing that Ive always missed in my car being streamed from the phones. But I put most of the fault on the OS, and the rest of it on the fact that I think its impossible to ensure that every piece of hardware implements it exactly the same. At best its a crapshoot and eventually the puzzle pieces fit and it starts working.

With my Gnex, 4.1 in my car would show a menu button but thats it. 4.2 would show a menu button and "Unknown" for track, title and artist data. 4.3 now shows all of the data (but there is another issue introduced that causes the phone to reboot on re-connection)

AFAIK there have been 2 full re-writes of the bluetooth stack in Android 4.x, so clearly Google wont leave well enough alone or realizes its an issue. While Im sure LG stuff on top of that doesnt help, I dont think the bulk of the issue is with LG as much as it is with the OS underneath.

I am unable to stream music by spotify with a successful pairing in a 2012 mustang. What gives? I'm almost ready to return in this pos
[G2 General] mapex99:
Interesting. The bluetooth pairing seems spotty on my Toyota Venza 2010 (it will just all of a sudden pause and not pass the song names to the receiver). We did rent a Hyundai and it seemed to pair and run without any issues. This is really frustrating, about to return the phone too...
[G2 General] checkride:
I have to admit that I was making a fool of myself. I restarted the car and it now functions as intended.
[G2 General] illyfilly:
it is weird since the information is send fine with the stock music player.

now using dogcather for podcasts, the head unit says bluetooth paused but is playing the audio and the volume controls don't work on the headunit.
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
My understanding from it is that the stock player(s) will work because they were written by the same folks that wrote the bluetooth drivers for the phone (LG, in this case, Samsung in the case of my Gnex). But Slacker, Pandora, etc. probably conform to a different standard, since they cant possibly write the app to work with every different brand of bluetooth device.

And again, add on top of that the fact that Android OS might not be implementing it correctly, and you have a fuster cluck of a moving target.

I do believe it will be corrected, eventually....after 2 yrs it finally got working on my Gnex with 4.3, and I think the G2 will get 4.3 someday so we should see a fix.
[G2 General] illyfilly:
Damn it gets annoying to hear life is good whenever I turn my car on
[G2 General] illyfilly:
And with podcasts it shows up as device is paused buy it is playing and there is no volume control
[G2 General] Eluse9:
I'm even weirder. I have a Panasonic head unit and sometimes it shows a ringtone from someone who called me yesterday, sometimes it shows a song that was on Slacker 4 days ago, and so on. I mostly listen to Slacker or Google Play Music.

My GNex never showed anything even after 4.3
[G2 General] mobilehavoc:
Thank you all for reporting this. I have a HTC One running 4.3 and I use BT a ton. It all works perfectly and I've been thinking of getting the G2 but given these issues I'm definitely not getting it.

Definitely seems to be an issue with G2. On my HTC both on 4.2 and 4.3 Play Music sends proper data to my car and stereo Bluetooth. Controls work perfectly too
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
What app are you using? Try Pandora or slacker and see if it still works
[G2 General] lattiboy:
I'm fine with the quality and don't care about artist info, but it WON'T AUTO PAIR.

I have to manually click my car stereo icon from the bluetooth menu to initiate pairing. After that, it works fine. Not exactly a deal breaker, but man is it annoying to remember.

Also, Viper4Android is pretty incredible. I had no issues with the sound quality coming from an S3, but after Viper I can never go back. It's that good.

Try deleting your phone from your car and vice versa and then add it. Maybe you missed a pop up.

Awe Yeah!! I am now able to activate Microsoft Voice Command 1.5 via a Bluetooth headset on the imate KJAM! I press the talk button on my Bluespoon AX2, audio transfers to the headset, Voice Command starts, I say something... Voice command does it, and I can hear it in the headset. Press the talk button again and the audio is transferred back to the device. If I press it once to initiate Voice Command that makes a call, I have to press the talk button once to end the call and again to end the audio gateway.

Here's how you do it:

In the Windows folder there's a file called sddialer.exe. This is the Voice Tags program currently activated by a Bluetooth button press. All you do is copy voicecmd.exe to a temporary folder, rename it to sddialer.exe and copy it to the Windows folder overwritting the original. You might want to back-up the original sddialer.exe just in case.

After there, all is well and Voice Command functions as above!

WOo Hoo!!!

UPDATE: An easier way is to use a registry editor and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand/

..Then change the path value to:

\Program Files\Voice Command\voicecmd.exe
