i thought this was the thread with the metal polisher method, thats why i said i did it. I removed the scratched layer and under it is the saphire glass, which is now clean. How can there be no stickers on the phone??Thats the only way to know if it was really open(other than the obvious damage in case it is poorly done). Why do you say there are no stickers that void warranty?
[G2 General] tiguy99:
With the G2, literally the back cover is snapped in place. It easily comes off with one of those flat case remover things you get on eBay free with a pack phone repair screw drivers.

Afterwards, all that's left is removing the silver screws at the top and the one black screw in the top middle.

That entire plastic cover inside can be lifted up and removed. That's the part with the camera lense and rear buttons.

Swap in a brand new one.

As you do this, you literally encounter 0 tamper proofing items that would trigger a warranty repair.

In fact the G2 is one of the easiest and forgiving phones to work on as most things can be repaired without any evidence since there are no warranty tamper stickers unlike other phones.

When I use font installer as a standalone or within ROM toolbox, as soon as I select a font, the app closes on me. I have tried reinstalling both apps, and many different types of fonts.

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SIII running AOKP 8-20-13 Nightly build.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Some of these apps have CM specific or some dependencies. So that probably an issue with you being AOKP.

Try some of AOKP's own fonts.

Just discovered Carrier IQ logger in the official LG ROM. Found it by searching for an app that turns on my GPS randomly and discharging my battery. After removing it, the battery life is so much better. Have much less respect for LG after that. Life is Good when you carry manufacturer-infused spyware in your phone? What a BS...
[LG Optimus G Pro] vivebatu:
How did you remove carrier IQ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
I used this..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17612559

The app is free on XDA and the pro key is on the play store for like 99€, and its.worth every penny.....

make a guide if you don't mind please. I tried that app and it bricked my phone.. also LG didn't put carrier IQ in the rom you probably have the att version.

How to remove Carrier IQ

That's the one I used too. It costs just $1 in US. You can also use a free version, it will report dll files from system/lib that belongs to carrier IQ which you can delete manually, but using the application is easier and safer.
[LG Optimus G Pro] G0bl1n:
I don't think it's the AT&T, my daughter has Samsung Galaxy S3 from AT&T and it doesn't have the carrier IQ. Unless Samsung was against it when making the deal with ATT...
[LG Optimus G Pro] G0bl1n:
Samsung Galaxy S3 from AT&T doesn't have it, so I don't think it's Google or AT&T.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Emmanuel2000:
are you trying to say that the AT&T G Pro doesn't have Carrier IQ? when did we start talking about the s3? also yes it is AT&T Allowing Carrier IQ in the phones as they stated in many websites. and yes My AT&T E980 does have Carrier IQ.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cynosure4sure:
can't be a google thing coz no carrier IQ in Korean F240 model.....maybe US thing?
[LG Optimus G Pro] liamR:
I have International E989 version and no CIQ Logger was found, maybe it's not LG or Google that insert it in other versions.
[LG Optimus G Pro] vivebatu:
Guys it does not matter who put ciq on the device.. Most probably it is AT&T as they have a direct interest in doing so... However what is important is to know how to remove it.. Whoever has been successful, can he make a step by step guide and post here please? Also does the treve app work on the e980?
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
I used logging test app... by TrevE it's free on his sight, there is a pro key on the play store. That I bought.. the App is fairly simple to use. And it appears to have worked some residual files remain so some CIQ checkers still may say you still have CIQ. But the ones that go into detail tell me. Some CIQ files remain but CIQ is inactive.

Here is the link TrevE's sight

http://androidsecuritytest.com/

The CIQ checker I used is voodoo CIQ checker.

Following your advice I downloaded the app and bough the key. Sure enough CIQ is there, turning on my GPS every thirty minutes, which wears down my battery (particularly indoors when it keeps it on and searching for the duration of my time within a building). I'm just a bit nervous of taking the step of automatically removing CIQ using the app. I trust the app and the developer 100%; it's bricking my phone that I'm worried about!
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
For me it worked, with no I'll effects, my GPS has not came on once after I removed the CIQ, prior to removing it seemed like every time I would wake my phone up the GPS would be on and searching. there is always a chance altering any system files that something could go wrong... hence why I always have a backup on my phone and on my lap top...good luck.

[LG Optimus G Pro] vivebatu:
Thanks very much.

I am rooted but have not installed freegee and cwm yet, so cannot backup my current setup....I know a backup is important , but if not, can this procedure be considered safe? Did you see any abnormal behavior (boot up issues, system issues) after doing this? Also , any significant change in battery life?
[LG Optimus G Pro] killerskullz:
I've seen no adverse effects except a significant increase in battery life due to the GPS not turning on anymore. I did not backup at all, as there is nothing to delete! You just uncheck a few system processes using System Tuner, reboot, and then CarrierIQ should be not functional anymore!
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
G2V4 installed and no carrier IQ detected..problem solved..lol..:cool:

The carrier IQ is put by the mobile company in this case at&t. Not lg or google. I know this cause i work for tmobile and we do the same. That's how we control your usage of minutes, the data speed reduction or overage, and is how we bloq the tether. Your cycle every month and other stuff i won't talk about. And its how they charge you.
[LG Optimus G Pro] View92612:
Thanks. that was really easy. The situation is worst in bad weather when it takes a long time to get GPS working....The phone would keep blinking...

It's nice that the rooting method doesn't even require a wipe. Much less hassle than other phones. System tuner is also very easy to use to fix this problem.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Proz00:
just 10k have carrier IQ

10g is fine checked with logging app test and

[LG Optimus G Pro] dginsd:
I found something regarding carrier iq, if you install a launcher like nova, and on your home screen long press to make a shortcut, and select activities, then android system, then select IQ agent settings. This will set it as a shortcut, select your new shortcut and you will notice that it is turned off by default. It appears AT&T doesn't use this.

What is it that triggers the VPN to connect? As I understood it it was trying to connect to a private IP - however, if I use ActiveSync to connect to 192.168.10.16 it doesn't try and connect. In fact, it rarely tries to connect even if I goto Connection -> VPN and try "Connect" - it just makes a GPRS connection, but doesn't even appear to try and connect to the VPN.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adonker:
perhaps the active sync program isn't triggered to connect through VPN when connecting to a "excluded" adress, and all the other programs are?

I was attempting to go back to stock in an effort to Get the update that just dropped. I have rooted, flashed, gone back to stock, rooted and flashed again prior to this with no problems.

I have been running JoshBeach's JellyBomb with no problems.

In trying to flash the stock .tar, it failed, I cannot get it to complete a flash, and it will only boot into emergency or download mode.

Should I try running CF Auto-root again?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] grimloktt:
So, I recently upgraded from Jelly Beans 21 to version 22. Sometime during the conversion I lost 4G. Since then, in an attempt to regain it, I:

- Wiped cache, delvik cache, factory reset and restored backup of 21.

- I installed a fresh version of 22.

- I checked preferred networks and made sure it was on CDMA/LTE

- I talked to Verizon who wants me to try to factory reset the phone, and if that doesn't work, is talking about sending me a new phone?

Thoughts?!

My claim to fame... First custom stock kernel for the blaze 4g. Heh.

I still have my blaze (in addition to a Nokia Lumia windows phone). And I'm still really the only custom stock based kernel dev for this phone. Too bad I left the kernel in a high battery draining state. I've been meaning to get back to that so I can give it to my kids as a game phone.

Maybe I'll make a short comeback.

I'm stuck with stock based myself because the phone is our home phone (for babysitters to use for emergency). I live in an area where only Verizon and Sprint get coverage, and I rely on WiFi Calling, which I don't think has been figured out for AOSP.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zwitterion:
I've read various threads where people discuss that the use of an AOSP-based ROM resulted in poorer radio performance, and some saying that this persisted even *after* flashing back to stock or other sense-based ROM. The latter is what is keeping me from trying out any of the AOSP-based ROMs available. I don't want to irreversibly worsen reception, because I really, REALLY hated dealing with that issue on my Galaxy Nexus.

Any thoughts?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
I ran PACman for a while before switching to Bonestock...I never noticed any difference in reception. I ran a few speed tests before, during and after PACman and they were are fairly similar.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brucekr:
Isn't the radio flashed separately from the ROM? I flashed tons of roms with my s3 and never really noticed a difference in reception.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
Go under about phones and look at the signal strength in there and bet sense or aosp it will be the same. Never go by the bars as you can make them read whatever you want them to.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Zwitterion:
There have been several folks who, after flashing an AOSP ROM, can't get cell service (only data) when reverting back to stock. It's not just s question of bar deception.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mtva24:
I've experienced reception issues and lag w/ AOSP roms. The phone is just designed for Sense imho...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] BreakingVZW:
I've noticed signal strength dings on some aosp roms but not all oddly enough. I do seem to get the best signal on sense based roms though (GPE roms and the like).
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
You need to remember that AOSP roms are hacked together for phones that were never meant to run it. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from flashing those roms since that's up to reach person, but no AOSP rom will ever run as good as a Sense rom. It's just the nature of things.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Satava:
I've yet to see any sense rom run better than a nightly, let alone a stable build (from a pure performance standpoint)

As far as the OP- Signals will be within 0-5db depending on the rom, and that's only because we're on a CDMA device with a closed source RIL.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dspcap:
I love aosp roms, but I tend to agree with you.

With my s3, I noticed a difference with my signal in certain places using aosp vs stock rom. But with the One, I haven't noticed a signal difference.
