Hey guys

I have a serious problem with my Xperia ZL that's driving me nuts... Everytime I try to use any app that needs mobile data access, my 3g works fine fot about 30 secs, then it disconnects (the 3g symbol disappears from the top bar) for about 5-10 seconds and it reconnects again until the cycle starts again.

This whole thing started since I tried to root my phone. The process went wrong and I had to flash the phone with Sony's recovery app, but my 3g never acted as it was before.

Do you know what could be going on? Or should I ask for a new phone?
[Sony Xperia ZL] melquisedec:
I have a similar problem. Even in 2G modo. But my time off is bigger

[Sony Xperia ZL] Goring:
Hey there, sorry for the delay.

Finally I was able to fix this. It was a company's problem, not mine. They adjusted some parameters here and there and magically, my 3G worked properly again. So maybe you should just call your company and talk to a tech guy, tell him that you did every test out there and that you're absolutely possitive that it's their problem =)

Best!

Hi people,

My LG G2 theme settings suddenly went missing when I restarted my phone, all the themes settings are gone. Don't even have the button for the themes.(Normally will have the themes option when you go to the display settings) I can't even use the knock on normally as if it's not the default launcher.

Need some help please.

Thank you.

How do you locate your downloaded themes? and the original LG theme...

I have tried to access via file manager and deleted them all but still no luck...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rippernet:
This is generated by the optimus theme installation that updates part of your default basic theme.

The update of the theme generated an error because the theme is not compatible.

When you restart the phone the damaged theme is applied and this caused the issue you explain.

How to solve?

It's easy. Go to system settings > general > downloaded apps. Click on basic theme and choose uninstall updates, than restart the phone.

The problem is solved.

Hope it helps.

Sorry, I know this is a simple question, but I don't have my device yet. Does the Stock browser for the LG OG Pro support full screen mode in which the user can hide the status bar and url input?

Nobody's using the stock browser and can confirm this after nearly 70 views with a simple yes or no? :confused:

I personally don't use the stock browser, but I looked at it for a bit and found that you can indeed hide the status bar. The address bar will also hide when not in use. You have to go to settings, labs, and select full screen.

Hi all,

I just installed CM7 on my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5839i. Everything is working fine except downloading apps, every time I try I get the error "App could not be downloaded due to an error (429)".

I tried this fix:

1. adb shell

2. su

3. mkdir /cache/download

4. chown system:cache /cache/download

5. chmod ug+rwx /cache/download

6. chmod a+x /cache/download

but ADB tells me that the filesystem is read-only when I try to make the download directory in cache. I've been searching for a way to fix this for hours but can't find anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey,

A while ago I flashed ARHD 20.1 on to my phone. I thought I would update the firmware to 2.24.xx but ran into a waiting for devices issues during the adb command. I've tried numerous tests on trying to get it to work but have been unsuccessful. Lately I've tried again with the latest firmware but I suffer from the same issues sadly.

I'm following Vomers guide for firmware flashing. I've done this previously so I don't know why this issue is occurring. If anyone can help, please do!

I've attached a picture to show the exact error. At the end of the error it usually states 'device not found'.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalki1:
well is not that thick . i dont think is good for electronic music since is very treble oriented ... theres a mod you can do to increase volume because the sound doesn't go loud to power certain headphones

The LG G2 is thin sounding:good: but with really good clarity :cool:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nismology:
I'll take the clarity, because the other stuff can be fixed with an EQ. This is the first phone I've had that completely eliminates alternator whine with the phone charging and just goes to show the lengths LG went to to isolate the DAC. That plus Viper4Android equals a superior listening experience in my eyes (or ears).

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamisgood:
I'm using the UM Merlin customs with the LG G2.

As an audiophile, I regularly compare players to see which has the best compatibility with my customs and I'm stoked to have found the G2. By far, it has the least background noise/feedback due to EM interference in a phone. Using in-ear monitors, you can hear the processor and other internal components and generally there was a bit of noise coming from my S3. With the G2, such noise is virtually eliminated. The G2 uses the wolfson 5110 DAC which really decreases the noise and increases the soundstage, balance, and clarity tremendously. I would say the audio quality on this device is comparable, if not, greater than the Cowon music players I have used in the past.

Truth be told, the only reason I chose this phone was because of the audio quality. Hearing is believing.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cggorman:
Nice IEMs. I've been trying to settle on a custom for a while now. Still wearing universals (SE535 at the moment). I'll probably pull the trigger in 2014. Thinking 1964s or UMs.

What's your source for Wolfson info? When I was researching, I only found reference to the Wolfson in early rumors. The later, more confirmable info I gathered pointed to a Qualcom DAC. I haven't yet seen a proper teardown with BOM.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredr33:
Excellent, but...

The sound is excellent with a good set of earphones, but the bundled "improved" Quadbeats 2 are pure crap, never seen anything worse (atleast my Quadsbeats 2)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertigo06:
I've been wondering this too. The only headphones I have are a pair of iPhone earbuds that my wife isn't using anymore. The sound isn't bad, but the volume seems much lower on it than my S3. I was wondering if the quality of sound is dependent upon the type of headphones you're using.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mashinac:
Same here
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cggorman:
So many variables here that it's cumbersome to discuss on a forum. To say that sound quality depends on headphone type is at once wholly true and woefully inadequate. :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamisgood:
JH has just opened preorders for the 12 driver Roxanne which I might be looking at (in the near future) once I test run it.

I have yet to see a stripdown as of yet, but various sources point the DAC to be the wm5110. Until there is a full strip, I doubt it would be possible to verify but it is quite likely as there is definitely a significant reduction of noise.

I think the sound quality is very impressive. A world apart from Nexus 4, at least. I'm using Brainwavz R1, and the sound is comparable to what comes out of my Macbook Pro. High volumes are no problem, and with some tweaking in V4A, I got it to be just like I wanted it. In my book, by far the best audio performer on Android. I still have a slight preference for the iPhone 5S, and it's on an even playing field with iPhone 4.

After having a note 3 for 3 weeks and moving onto the g2 i gotta say the audio quality on the g2 blows away the note 3 with headphones, bluetooth in the car...

The external speaker sounds great and the phone earpiece speaker compared to the note 3, WOW sounds very, impressive. Calls are,extremely,clear ans natural and the speaker gets LOUD! I had to turn it down. A first for me. The note 3,earoiece speaker was very muffled and low,volume.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nismology:
With V4A tweaks this is hands down the best listening experience I've had on a mobile platform. I've owned both an Epic 4G and Droid charge with Voodoo sound (original WM8994 badass listening devices) and the GNex with the Noozxoide mod and this is on another level. The level of noise reduction is unmatched. Just test out almost any other phone and plug the car charger in and you will hear some interference related to the alternator. With the G2 this is completely eliminated along with any discernable background hiss or CPU noise. Truly incredible.

For rooted users I highly recommended the modification posted in this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2482750

It does have a Wolfson!!!

Reached out to lg seven times and asked what the DAC inside of the lg g2 is and they said it has an integrated Qualcomm wcd9320 and a slightly modified or tweaked Wolfson wm5110 that uses less power than it would if it was a standalone. Seems like overkill. But three reps gave me this response. Two said just Wolfson, and one didn't know. I even called HQ and was put on a waiting list and they confirmed the Wolfson DAC was included in all models of the LG G2. This is no joke. Try Malladus kernel and use fauxsound to boost the loudness and see the true power. I was surprisd as I thought the Wolfson wasjust a rumor.

I am no sort of an audiophile but if you asked me, with V4A and a decent pair of headphones this thing rocks. After 2 weeks of owning a new pair of JVC HA-FRD80-Z IEMs I dared to compare the sound quality with the bundled Quadbeat 2 and believe me if I say that it's beyond comparison.

Hi guys, I have sent my phone off for repair to HTC as i have had WI-FI issues basically since I bought the phone last year,the wi-fi disconnects at weaker areas,whereas the other phones i have tested work fine..I have only recently realised that thi was a manufacturing issue after reading reviews online.So I have decided to send the phone off for repair, a week later (today) I get a quotation from HTC of £187! Bear in mind I still have warranty on my phone..HTC initially did not state the reason why I have received the charge,they just claimed that the work required was caused by the damage that isn't covered by warranty. So i went onto HTC chat and spoke to someone called Wioleta,she eventually told me that I have installed "unauthorized software" on my phone. Now I PROMISE YOU guys, i have not done any tweaking on my phone for a long long time...before I did install a ROM rooted my phone etc, but i had to set everything to default settings as i have sent the phone off before because of a different issue ( coloured lines on my phone - if you guys remember), I have done the procedure correctly and HAVE NOT been charged by HTC for the repair,so it was done free...ever since the repair I have not done any modifications to my phone or downloaded any illegal software...So I would like to know why they said i have done this and is it possible that they could have done this?? I have attached a picture of what Wioleta has sent me on chat...I think there is a mistake somewhere because i am innocent...and I have already sent them a complaint about it, but I really need my phone back... please can somebody give me some advice on how to tackle these twats!
