[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kb cool:
I would get a replacement LCD,digitizer, frame combo and if i managed to muck something up during the DIY repair process? I would then send the phone off to LG for free warranty replacement "IF" still covered. It's not like they are going to tear the phone apart and investigate. Don't ask me how i know this! :D
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kickoff:
In Budapest the repair costs at LG Customer Center ca 160 USD (incl VAT). I had it twice....
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technoboi:
My screen isn't "damaged" like others with shattered screen but it went crazy on me. First it started jumping without my doing anything...I flashed it to stock and even fully factory reset. The issue came and went but essentially it still existed. It then started to blank out completely almost "signing out' like a grainy TV rendering using the phone impossible. I can still try to boot and hear the start up cue (so I can back up data etc) but that's about it.

I am now on a Samsung Galaxy Young temporarily (oh the horror I hate this phone). I have been researching Ebay for the RIGHT replacement screen for my D802 model. I notice lots of sellers selling models for the Verizon/Sprint variants and I think there is a difference with the "Flex" cable. Some sellers make note to say "short flex cable" which I think fits the D802 and D805 Latin America version.

I think I am going to get the following one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G2-D802-...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2338ae799d

I bought mine online and I actually live in Jamaica...so sending to LG would be costly and quite tedious. A local repair shop says if I get the part they can replace the screen for $3,500.00 JMD (or $33.00 USD). I think I'll take this root. I want to sell this soon enough in time for the Sony Z2 or the G3...it's so sad that after spending $599.00 on this device in October 2013 I have to spend so much on this now...never had this happen with any of my previous flag ship models.

Thoughts?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petwussy:
Hi, I found a place that would do the repair cheaper, but they are not in cooperation with LG, so I would loose warranty. Lets say there is someone else wrong with the phone will the LG Service people know that I have had the screen replaced by someone else than the "official" repair-company?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graphicnature:
Just got the phone back today. Took an account extra week because apparently ntly their fax machine doesn't work. They never got my payment. Anyway. Full refurbished. $167. Everything is working great.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kspanks04:
What all was wrong with your phone?

I'm thinking of sending mine in for a screen replacement, but I've got scratches on the back camera lens cover that I need replaced. If its only $15-$20 more to have the phone refurbished, sounds like a good deal.

Another question...

My phone sat in a very thin pool of water from a spill on my nightstand months ago; The only noticeable damage was condensation in the camera. I dried the phone in rice and everything was fine. But I've heard that tripping the water damage sensor will prevent LG from repairing your phone. Is there any way to check for this before I waste my time sending in my phone? Any thoughts on this???
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diamond12:
Just a word of caution. I got my G2 refurbished from LG a month ago (for $153 BTW, T-Mobile D-801) but I don't think they sent me back my old phone. Instead they must have applied my IMEI on a refurbished phone. The reason I am saying this is:

I received a carrier locked phone but my phone was unlocked

I received a phone with a JDI screen but my phone had the LGIT

I received a phone with KK but I had flashed JB on my phone before I sent it in

My phone did not have the IMEI sticker in the back but the one I got does
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
IMEI follows the phone. They can't apply the old IMEI to the new phone.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diamond12:
But how/why would they relock my phone?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
They gave you a refurbished phone, so now you can go unlock this one?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diamond12:
Well I did, and the same code that worked for my original phone worked for this one, since this phone has the same IMEI as my original. So the conclusion is they either relocked my original phone (not sure if this is possible) or they copied the IMEI of my original phone to a different phone that was locked.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
Wow. I don't know what happened. Maybe someone else more technologically advanced might be able to shed some light.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakemyster84:
Thought I would add this, I just sent my G2 in for repair, it fell out of my pocket and I cracked the screen. I just got the repair authorization form from LG today and they want $356 for the repair cost. It doesn't even tell me what the refurbished price would be. So of course I call and the department is closed that can tell me why it will cost so much. Guess I have to call back tomorrow to find out why.

I think I am better off buying a phone off of swappa if they really want that much to fix me phone.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jal3223:
Let us know what they say. The repair friendliness of this device is the deciding factor for me buying it with all of the display issues popping up everywhere.

Is the price based on the carrier btw? Has anyone with Verizon gotten a screen replacement from LG?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd2_iFan:
How do they find out the phone is rooted?

My g2 got bricked. Its not even turning on or getting charge. I have sent it to LG.

I think they wont be able to find out that my phone is rooted in my case coz the device isn't turning on, no black screen nothing its like full DEAD.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
I don't think they care if you're rooted, to be honest.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Diamond, what did they refurbish. All those points are explainable pending on the restaurations.

Kitkat is newest os so default procedure.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesgz:
Go on eBay and look for a LCD that has the Glass and Digitizer.

And carefully just swap it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightHarvester:
Rooting only voids the warranty. It has nothing to do with insurance so there's no need to worry about it when sending a phone back to the insurance company.

Actually, I used my insurance and replaced a G2 I cracked the screen on as it only cost me $90 to do it that way and I never sent the broken one back and never got charged. ..

I don't even worry about unrooting if dealing with Verizon. The few times I've had to deal directly with them I told them I root all my devices since I develop on them. No one cared.

Guess there's a chance of talking to a prude though, but seeing as I have insurance I never really cared.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
To anyone here who bought an LCD replacement from ebay, is the quality the same as the original? Or slightly different? Is it IPS?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enigmafied:
From what little I have looked at mine, sure looks identical.

I am having an issue though where it seems like the digitizer does wonky things just after bootup.... All kinds of random touches seem to be happening. May have to do with antenna cord causing interference with digitizer re: the youtube video guide that I watched. He added some electrical tape to one set of transistors. That has not seemed to fix mine however.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karstensson:
Hi!

I have sent my phone for reparation for a broken digitizer/smashe screen, but the lcd is fine.

The company told me that they had to change the screen, digitizer and battery. Therefore i wonder if it is a lie or realy neccesary?

Can just the digitizer be replaced or do they really replace the screen aswell? The battery i know is a lie.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
Kind of hard to diagnose without actually seeing.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karstensson:
It was a 15 cm drop, so its only one big scratch that made half of the screen unsensitive to touches. Everything else is fine.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
Could also be things like the battery overloaded at one time, so the battery bulged. That's why it's hard for an internet diagnosis. Similar to trying to figure out what's wrong with a car without checking everything.
[HTC Rezound] AdmanAbou:
When I got my Rezound, it came with an OEM extended battery. It has pretty good life, but I've always had trouble with reception, especially 4G. I've read elsewhere that extra solder on the antenna terminals will fix that. Has anyone ever tried anything like this? Does anyone know which terminal does what? Any recommendations on what kind of solder? I work at RadioShack, so I have a big selection here and someone to solder for me.
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Some of the extended batteries had really crappy backs (e.g. Hyperion). I love that battery, but I use the regular extended battery back so the antennas work. Might want to fish around for an extended back on ebay.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Antennas are very complicated to say the least....a solder could damage the signal altogether...but as he said get the oem back cover...i had the one that came with extended battery and it was crap and would barely pick up wifi...i tried many tricks...bought copper paint and even aluminum tape and still no dice....i have one and it works flawlessly
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
I would only try this if you can order a spare, that way if it fails you dont loose the phone. you can get some cheap ones of ebay.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Also you know those antennas for your carrier that cost alot of money so you get better reception around the house or wherever you put it...i learned how to build one and will more than likely write up a guide on how to do so
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
Looking forward to that! I would like to be able to send/receive texts/calls out at my house.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
Just note it requires a little programming knowledge but ill do the best i can in the guide...sorry some of my stuff is taking a bit i just want to ensure the best stability
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
Quality first, completely understandable. :)

Yes, when using the default Email proggie, (not gmail), I can't seem to get push options for my gmail accounts either.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emtownsend:
I've searched, and found decent hits, but I have not found anything recent telling whether or not my S3 can output via MHL to HDMI.

I have an aftermarket dock that is "supposed" to work with the S3, but so far, nothing. The screen blanks when I plug in, but no video appears. So, the monitor is getting some kind of input, but not the correct input. Are there specific ROMs these days (late 2013) that specifically DO or DO NOT offer MHL capability? Are they 4.2.1, 4.2.2 or 4.3 specific? As I type this, I am installing CleanROM. I tried HALO (non TW), and BoneStock but no joy. I read on several posts that TouchWiz is needed so I am concentrating on that for now.

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emtownsend:
Found my answer. My dock was defective! CleanROM works great and I suspect the others may too. When I get the new dock, I'll try them out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] glman1:
Sorry to revive an old thread, but adapter are you using? Does it still work? I'm currently searching for an adapter for my S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emtownsend:
The dock does not work for the S3. The retail dock does of course. I've since swapped phones to a Note 3 and that one DOES work with the dock. I know you can use the red MHL cable with the S3 successfully., if that helps.

The only way to solve the bootloop after restoring cwm backup is doing restorecon.

It also could be done via aroma file manager, but it is the one of annoying and uncomfortable way :(

Is there anyone who can make an update.zip to do restorecon?

Can any give me a EFS folder ? or IMEI backup file ?

Or ROM backup ?

Model - LG optimus P920
[LG Optimus 3D] p-vlad:
So.. EFS folder contain the IMEI of the phone, so I do not think s.b. want to give his own IMEI to s.b. else

Better tell us what is the problem you have and how you get this problem.
[LG Optimus 3D] ebhathiya:
After some accident my phone got bricked. and i try every thing to fix it.

after few tries i manage to install CWMR and after that i install CM rom. but i can't install any rom beside that. If i try it will stuck on LG logo.

And My efs folder is gone and no backup.

to do this ( http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=27912354 ) i need to go to Stock rom. But because of that Logo thing i can't do that.

And one more thing This is the worst phone i ever seen.. And It bricked when restarting. I lost my IMEI in SGS and in SGS2 within 2hr i got my correct IMEI without any problem.

:(

If any one can give me a correct EFS folder I can give my phone IMEI and S/N to create it.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] eclipxe:
All -

We know there is an issue with not all notifications going to the Gear.

We can solve this with Android 4.3 and new notification access APIs.

I am working on an app for the Gear to do this - I will keep everyone updated on this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] TeamPowerstroke:
Awesome thanks

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xManMythLegend:
The notifications API would give the Gear access to the content so it can actually be displayed or is it to mirror whatever is in the notification bar ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] alexymwu:
Great!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jeshter2000:
Awesome!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jeshter2000:
How are de developments going???
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sepiroth887:
Let me know if I can help, have not developed android apps in a while but have 5+ years of java on my back. Very keen to see this one working!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] polstein:
Is there a published ..something.. about this issue, because I'm only getting a small fraction of sms/email, which is the most important thing for me. Hoping you can do better then Samsung!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
There is an app called Pebblify which is exactly what the gear needs.

You choose which notifications to push to the gear, and it pretty much sends exactly what is in the notification bar to it.

That said, I really like the gear notifications now which I can push a button on the gear and pull my phone out of my pocket and go straight to the message.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sepiroth887:
Yup, but I guess thats doable. It really is only a matter of figuring out what type of guesture is used there. Maybe nfc proximity? not sure.... anyways once thats figured out, sending the intend should be trivial.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gshaw1967:
In the gear manager, settings, then select notification, you can select which notifications appear. I have turned off Google+ and GMAIL. I don't use gmail, because I have several email addresses and only want one place to check. But the email app works great and sends most of the email to the gear. Hope this helps!

Gear Head
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Not quite the same thing. Check out Pebblify in the market and you will see what I mean. You can have any notification from any app pushed to the Pebble verbatim as it appears in the notification pull down.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sepiroth887:
That is only part of the equation. The native notification app is just too limited. Ultimately I want to see the same notifications I get on my phone, and the ability to jump directly to the item when clicking the notification or using the gesture.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gshaw1967:
Yes, I agree with that as well, but to be fair you are comparing V2 Sony to V1 Gear. The Gear will get there also, remember the Sony didn't have that out of the box either.

The Gear's 3rd party software is just starting!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sepiroth887:
Hence I want to see it eventually. But from what I played with so far with the gear none of the features I mentioned are out of scope for a decent notification app.

I dont expect it to be release over night though or even with all the functionality I would like
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xManMythLegend:
The notifications are really a huge drawback on this beautiful device.

I turn off messaging notifications and use sms popup and it won't show up on the GG. Google Voice is a no show.

Really hope a 3rd party app can address this massive shortcoming as it appears Samsung has no intention to.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jeshter2000:
Please enlighten us how development is going??
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sepiroth887:
Hmm i would like to know that too. If what I read is correct, an app on the phone that subscribes to the NotifiactionListenerService should receive all or a limited set of notifications on the phone. If a companion app on the gear can communicate with the app ( not sure how the new BT stack works :( but I guess it could be in the form of writing to a Parcel, receiving it on the companion app, and pushing the notification content to the screen..... ) it would allow all notifications to display and not just the ones the Gear Manager allows currently.

I will start experimenting a bit with how the gear and phone communicates and how an app could possibly either hijack this channel or create it's own. It would be great if anyone who has more development experience in android join in to see this through.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] eclipxe:
I didn't get Gear yet, but will keep you guys posted
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xManMythLegend:
/\ That sux =-( .

Hopefully soon =-)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sepiroth887:
ok... i spend a few hours playing around with the GearManager notifications. After decompiling the GearManager apk. (Thanks to whoever posted it) I managed to find an .xml file containing all the entries for active apps from the notification settings page YAY! GREAT!

I added Facebook messenger by it's package name and lo and behold! it showed up after adding it to two files:

notification_result.xml and notification_result_for_sending.

Now don't get excited.... it turns out thats not enough.....

After looking closer at the notification_result.xml file it seems the custom apps ( e.g. Evernote) do seem to specify a diffferent package which seems to be specific to the watch and might contain a custom provider for correctly formatted notification payloads.

Well I didn't quite give up yet so I pulled the Notifications.apk and NotificationsService.apk from the gear and decompiled them too....

This is one thing I found there:

public static ArrayList ShowAppNamePackage = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(new String[] {

"facebook", "twitter", "googleplus", "googlenow", "googletalk", "googlemail", "email"

}));

public static ArrayList ShowOnPhonePackage = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(new String[] {

"phone", "message", "cmas", "sms", "mms", "email", "facebook", "twitter", "accuweather", "googlemail",

"googleplus", "googlenow", "googletalk", "mobilemysingle", "wallet"

}));

public static ArrayList SupportDetailView = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(new String[] {

"message", "cmas", "email", "mobilemysingle"

}));

seems the Detail view support is hardcoded for at least the preinstalled apps.

After a bit of browsing around it seems the remaining app details are in the sqllite db on the device which I have not yet tried to read.

I will probably continue and figure out if it's possible to register other apps without having to rebuild the GearManager or the Notifications apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sepiroth887:
quick followup, rooted the gear and pushed sqlite to it, turns out the FBMessenger entry is there.... so not sure why it's not getting the notifications.... will continue investigation

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

seems a deadend... unless someone builds a notification service on the phone that can use the Android 4.3 notification listener and translate this into a proper provider for the gear it seems no easy workaround is possible :( sorry....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xManMythLegend:
Thanks for the effort and posts.

Is it weird that all those services would be in the Gear APK to begin with ?

I cant read the code properly so assume its just there to make the pop up that sends you back to the phone ?

Is there a DEV section to G.Gear ? We really should pull someone in and see if theyd have interest.

Are there any other APPS on the market that use the Notification listener ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sepiroth887:
I guess the services are there to provide at least some basic apps with support for the gear. I can't confirm it because I never wrote anything using the Samsung SDKs but I think the payload sent to the device can either contain additional text or not which would correspond to the posted code. In case of Gmail for example it will not come with the email content hence it's hardcoded there not to display anything else.

That might just be really shoddy coding on samsungs part though because evernote or easilydo seem to display a little more info without being referenced there. My guess is that this behaviour is set somewhere else too and just in the code for convenience and because it's preinstalled anyways so always present.

I have seen no dev section so far and I'd be happy to move my posts over there actually and get more input from folks because my experience with Android is rather limited.

I would assume there are few apps using the NotificationListener yet but if i understand it correctly all apps broadcasting notifications will produce those notification events that an app using the Listener can consume.

The idea here would be to have and app listening for notifications (selected or all) >>> send them on to the gear.

My current effort is to actually decode what evernote did to make it work. but I might do better finding some other app that is a little simpler....
