[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srt99:
i believe you have gt-s5830

but the ROM you are trying to flash is made for gt-s5830i/c/m

the assert getprop lines are provided to make a safer installation..especially for newbies who don't understand the difference between different device models..

this updater-script is for GT-S5830I/GT-S5830C/GT-S5830M so with that lines it will check in build.prop if product name matches...

if "ro.product.device" and "ro.build.product" are found to be one of the above then installation will continue..if not, then installation will be aborted to save your phone from bricking by installing a ROM that is not for your phone...

still if you want to try this rom then extract the zip, go to META-INF/com/google/android

you will find a file "updater-script"

open with notepad++

and delete these lines:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5830c" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5830c" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5830C" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5830C" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5830i" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5830i" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5830I" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5830I" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5830m" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5830m" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5830M" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5830M" ||

getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-S5839i" ||

getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-S5839i");

save it, zip it and flash !

that's simple, if u have the Cyanogenmod BEFORE install any 2.3.6 based rom will get you this error,

1st = use odin to restore your stock rom

2nd = now you install the other one =)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] skwieradee:
hi there, search option is unvailable at the moment so I wasnt able to search for an answer to my question, hence new thread.

Is this possible to connenct some external memory to Nexus 7 like pendrive (via usb adapter) or memory card to usb adapter?

thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Kenneth196:
Pick up a USB OTG Cable and get a flash drive (flash drives are preferred over actual external hard drives, unless the hard drives has external power).

Buy the Nexus Media Importer app ($3 or $4, cant remember).

Done!

If you only need to read to it, then having the USB drive as NTFS is fine. If you need to write to it as well, it'll need to be Fat or Fat32 (keep in mind, it's a little tougher to format anything over 32GB to Fat32. Usually need a 3rd party program)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] skwieradee:
no root required?

thx for an answer
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Kenneth196:
If you use Nexus Media Importer, no root required. If you are rooted, you can use Stickmount (free I believe).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter_dk:
Hi everyone!

I've had my LG G2 for a week now and I'm mostly pleased about it - except for the camera's slow autofocus. It often takes 3-4 seconds from pressing the shooter to actually taking the photo. Only exception is in full daylight where the camera is good.

My old galaxy S3 is lightyears faster than this. I've contacted LG support and the told me to uninstall all other camera apps, force stop the lg camera app, clear data and try again, when that didn't work they had me do a hard reset which didn't help either. Finally they told me to return the phone for a servicecheck but I'm quite sure it's a software-issue. Plus the phone is rooted and they probably won't like that :)

How many others are having these problems and can someone confirm they have a G2 that doesn't take up 3-4 seconds to focus when not in complete daylight?

Cheers,

Peter

Everyone without an 8mp cam app.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whittikins:
In the Development forum, Jishnu has a camera mod that improves things. He also said an update just went out in India that speeds up the camera launch and focusing, so maybe that will come out soon.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter_dk:
So you're saying using an app with 8MP changes the phones ability to autofocus? I've tried the nexus 5 camera - same result. Which app are you using?

Resolution should only matter in regards to how fast the camera is at storing the picture after the picture is taken (and the G2 is plenty fast).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter_dk:
Hey whittikins - that's great news!! I don't mind waiting for an update...just as long as it's coming :)

I've actually already tried the mod, but it didn't make a difference - I guess it's maybe mostly for shooting video and not still pictures?

Thanks,

Peter

I'm just going to say he meant a real camera... This phone is 13MP anyhow. And, you are right.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jondrix22:
+1 same problems here,slow autofocus and too long obturation time making blurry photos of moving subjects (child, eyes,....)

I also come from a galaxy s3 and for sure there is a difference....

I had a chat discuss with french lg team, saying to use flash........

the guy says to try other camera app from play store but he was pretty sure this will not help...

They did not give any reason to hope....

The mod 2.5.3 mentionned might help....but need root,

Furthermore conclusion is not that clear that it helps for indoor pictures of moving subjects...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashN2u:
LG is aware of the issue. They have said a software update will fix it. Customer service probably isn't allowed to acknowledge it.

[G2 General] jagman96:
Does anyone think these crazy deals on the G2 means something is inherently bad with the G2? Maybe the networks are giving up on it or something else is coming out soon? Maybe this means there will be more out there so better dev support? I'm not sure but my wife and I are getting each getting one tonight.
[G2 General] dougxd:
You'll be happy you did. This device is fantastic!! All those reviewers out there crapping on this phone are sharing each others medications or something. They need to use it for more than 20mins.
[G2 General] oadam11:
Yea. Its a great phone. You won't be disappointed with it
[G2 General] fr8cture:
No, I don't think something new is coming out I think they are not selling as much as an iPhone or Galaxy phone. People have no idea what they are missing.
[G2 General] steve.messer84:
Just got mine

I just got one yesterday, and I am damn glad I did. Love this thing already!! P.S. Price drop can mean more people picking one up too.
[G2 General] fr8cture:
Doubt it, I was told by multiple Verizon employee's that they we're selling more samsung and apple devices. One store didn't even carry the G2 for that reason.
[G2 General] jagman96:
Well then that very well might mean more dev support as those who are buying it are probably our type ;).
[G2 General] brucipher:
My android progression has been: HTC Thunderbolt, Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr Maxx HD, and now the LG G2. This phone is AWESOME! Best of the bunch. I've seen the S4 and HTC One, and I think this phone is better than them (although I do really like the HTC One form factor). As you can see, I have no brand loyalty :). Hopefully these low prices will get lots of people buying the phone and make it a lot more popular than it is now. It deserves to be in as many peoples hands as possible!
[G2 General] ars0n:
Verizon is doing this to keep its customers. The g2 is identical to the nexus 5, they know this. Anyone with half a brain knows this.

So, have people jump ship and go to sprint or att for 150 dollar phone?

Or they can stay on verizon, get the same phone for 50 bucks.

Verizon knows how to do damage control, they arent that stupid.

There will be a new line up of phones for 2014.

I dont know about you guys, coming from a 2 year old galaxy nexus, I sure as hell could not wait till 2014 for a new phone and This g2 will def last 2 years easily as long as no hardware malfunctions occur..
[G2 General] WhiteZero:
Except they are not identical. They are similar. :silly:
[G2 General] xRazoo:
Isn't the rumor that some of the price drops are occurring because of the upcoming release of the White Version of the G2? At least for Verizon.
[G2 General] djarmin76:
Just my two cents but it could be that LG is trying to push more units out and lure people with its price point. LG doesn't have a reputation like Samsung and Apple. They have invested a lot of money in advertising the G2 and I really think they are just trying to get peoples hands on this device. I fell in love with the G2 this way and I initially had the intentions of going sg4.
[G2 General] curly9:
This phone is amazing and so many times of thought about trading it for a note 3 and said no because of litteraly everything about it. When I want to trade nothing gets in my way. The more people they can get the g2 in peoples hands the better chance lg might not ditch the phone and support it.
[G2 General] desantim:
Best phone I've owned hands down - I've had many many phones, been a pretty big power user, had iPhones, Palms (Bold and Pre), and now all androids from HTCs, Samsungs, to now LG, Loved the S3, Note 2, and was ok with the S4, but thing thing is the best I've had by far and away out of any of them. I gave up on the S4 mainly due to the locked bootloader and the inability to run AOSP roms on it and may never be able to after the OTAs.

I am so glad I got this phone. You'll love it.

psst.

[G2 General] martindar:
Have to disagree about the statement above (the g2 is identical to the n5) I have both and the g2 is much better than the n5 -front facing camera 2.1mp =back camera 13mp both better, sound quality much better, battery life is much better, not charged the g2 for three days and its at 13% and the design and quality on the g2 is, well its designed !whereas the n5 looks functional in comparison but then you are paying more for the g2, anyhow enjoy your phones, if you put the phones together and compare them the g2 just looks better, I think this phone is the best on the market right now

but that's just my thoughts.
[G2 General] prog19:
Here in Brasil we had a huge huge price drop on g1 and nexus 4. I am pretty shure that g2 will see a price drop too. I bought a 4 and my lady a g1 and both are much better phones than any other from the same price. Gere in Brasil ppl pay for brands, so i think lg has done this to put the hardware on ppl hands. The g1 kicks the S3 butt Real hard, but in Brasil Thierry keep buying the nexus line. People pay the same money on galaxy s3 mini or grand duos, or galaxy mega and dont even eye the specs of g1

[G2 General] djarmin76:
I agree. The thing is that the 32 GB Nexus5 is only 50 dollars cheaper than an off contract G2 currently on verizon. Apparently the verizon version is unlocked and can be used on other carriers as well. I just think hardware wise you get the most for your money with the G2. But I am bias too because I think the whole "google experience" getting kitkat first on a phone is so overrated.
[G2 General] fr8cture:
An average consumer wont even know what a Nexus 5 is. Especially a verizon customer.

How are you getting that battery life? I'm getting the same battery life out of my G2 as I did my s3 with 3 hours screen on time..
[G2 General] crashN2u:
This is it. They have a great phone and they're yrying to capitalize on it. Grow their market share.
[G2 General] evangelionpunk:
No. I believe they are attracting people using their price point for what really is top notch hardware and even the stock 'bloated' rom is not too bad on this model so converts and iphone swappers bla would be easily able to get accustomed pretty quickly in its use.
[G2 General] MidnightHarvester:
Heh.. Sorry XDA app users... Wasn't thinking about anyone quoting it at the time lol..
[G2 General] mikey123:
Man you guys are really making me want a G2. I have a Note 2 right now that I'm still happy with but all of these positive comments are really something.
[G2 General] evangelionpunk:
Go to a store, play around with one and then see what you think?

Remember though it does not come with an spen as the note 3 does but I can tell you without a doubt the G2 is a better built unit unlike the note 3 (with its tilting wobbly home button, gap between chrome - screen and other little things that some have stated)
[G2 General] player911:
Price doesn't mean anything. I've seen all sorts of Samsung's be given away for free days after launch. Carriers don't make money on phones, they make money on plans.

[G2 General] SKyRocKeting727:
Maybe due to low sales of the G2, they probably need to get rid of some piling up shelf space for maybe New inventory since the holidays are among us. I've yet to see anyone with a G2 besides myself, this phone is Amazing...just need people to actually consider it. I think the rear buttons are a big turn off when people see it. A lot of People don't like big change...that's a fact. For sure, the g2 will be one of the phones that will be heavily discounted during the holidays.

[G2 General] ac29593:
The LG G2 is the sleeper phone of the year. Best phone out other than the Note 3, but could be best for people that don't care to have the s-pen.

Price drop proves it's a sleeper. I bought mine for full price, and thankfully returned it to the store within my 14 day trial to take advantage of the Amazon two day deal which let me buy it for a penny.

The phone was just as good when I paid a penny as it was when I paid $200.

I could have bought the note 3, owned the note 2 and loved it, but still went with this phone.

The phone is awesome.
[G2 General] thecycleoflife:
The only way the price drop is bad news to me is because I paid $199 for it on a 2 year contract back when it first came out. If I had waited until now to buy it I would have saved myself some money. But as soon as I heard about the G2, I couldn't wait to retire my Droid X2 as quick as possible.

For those of you sitting on the fence about whether or not to buy this phone: JUST DO IT !!!!
[G2 General] fr8cture:
The money is justified.
[G2 General] SKyRocKeting727:
I left my HTC One because I got the G2 for a good price and who'd knew that I would fall in love with it more than I ever did with the One. :) it is worth $199 easily. Don't have buyer's remorse because other people got it for cheaper. The opportunity arised and they jumped on it. You win some, you lose some...

As the OP I followed through and just placed the orders for me and my wife. She is upgrading from a 5 year old dumb phone to the G2 for free ($30 upgrade fee + $30/mo for 2gb +$8/mo warranty). I am upgrading from the RAZR Maxx for $449. Still not a bad deal. I missed out on the Amazon $199 deal by 30min. Oh well. I can't complain. Same price as the 32gb Nexus 5 but in many ways better :).

In Canada, Bell had a pricing error that sold this phone for ~$450 (after tax, in Ontario) that required some finagling with the reps. Had this phone gone at that price point, though, imagine the kind of market disruption :cowboy: (It might have killed Nexus 5 though)

[G2 General] superandroid2011:
Here in Brazil G2 was one the most cheapest Flagship ever launched.

And just today, you have on best shops (yes, price in Brazil is very high):

G2: U$ 700.00

N3: U$ 1020.00

S4: U$ 810.00

As for myself, I bought a G2 and found it to be incredible, but because of a few flaws (GPU fall below my exctations, some color banding, onscreen buttons and only 16GB model available) I returned it and kept my S4 waiting for S5.

Maybe on 29's Black Friday if the price become even more attractive, I mean U$ 500.00, I could buy one and sell my S4 for around U$ 600.00 and actually make some money and still wait for S5.
[G2 General] toughcookie:
The price drops are because of the holiday and a aggressive push to get people to choose the G2 over the S4, Note 3 and iPhone. My dad got a s3 for $50 last year around the same time.

I like your thinking. That was exactly what I was trying to do; buy a used LG G2 for around $400 and sell my S4 for $400 and come out even. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one listed on Craigslist so I had to pay the full retail price. At the end of the day, $225 out of pocket expense for the LG G2 off contract. I'm giggling right there with you. :D

[G2 General] ghodzilla5150:
I have to concur with all the positive notes about the G2. I bought this phone a month ago and I still think it's AMAZING. This is without a doubt the best smartphone I have ever had (HTC EVO, Palm Pre, Motorola Photon, S3). I was debating between the Note 3 & the LG G2 and I am glad I picked the G2. Coming from the S3 I thought why not get a Note 3 but I went to a Verizon store and played with the G2 and was just blown away. The Speed, Gorgeous Screen, Size etc. etc won me over. I Rooted the phone in no less than 5 minutes (after reading how to do it) and those I show at work are really impressed with the phone.

If yiou have an upgrade just get the LG G2 , you won't regret it.
[G2 General] hellot1M:
The LG rep told us before this phone came out or anyone knew what it looked like that they have spent more money on this device for marketing than any other device in the companies history. She said they will constantly have deals and promotions for every carrier. Dropping price randomly or bundling with something and contest for free g2's. Hell just in our company alone there are 3 different contest going to win a free g2. First 100 employees to sell 5 win one. Next 100 get entered into a drawing. And first employee to finish all the trainings for the G2 win one. LG is going all out on this thing.
[G2 General] EGBTMagus:
This.

LG wants to start growing and they know to do that they need to be aggressive in price because Samsung and Apple have such a strong brand awareness. This is how LG plans to break through that strength with a strong aggressive pricing. This is just the start, the device has dropped to $99 on AT&T and will be $0 Down on T-Mobile again before the end of the year. You can also expect Sprint to run a promo on it before the years out.
[G2 General] wokka00:
I called in to VZW about the price drop today within 14 days of upgrading to the G2. The CSR was happy to notate the account, but I do have to go back to the original store I bought it at since I didn't do it online or on the phone. Not a big deal, but good to know they'll do the match. Just make sure to notate the account when you call in.
[G2 General] KB112:
Well damn, I just bought my Sprint G2 at BestBuy yesterday for $100. I looked today and they are giving $50 giftcard if you trade in a working smartphone. I did this deal to get the 5S about 3 weeks ago and they just said it had to be any working smartphone with no water damage or cracked screen.

I guess I can just go back in and have them re-do the transaction? I'll take a $50 discount if I can get it! I have a couple old Blackberry's etc laying around that still work. I traded in a working 3yr old Palm Pixi for $100 off the 5S. I'm assuming this will be fine.
