Dear Omni ROM team,

ever since waiting for my upgrade to Android 4.0.4 on my LG Optimus 3D, I was wondering, how the community would treat such devices in the near future.

Why is a 2011 smartphone already considered "old" and why not ? The Optimus 3D is no exception here and I hope I can start a discussion about this matter here.

On my Optimus 3D I can run (nearly) any app, without problems, without frameloss. I can take photos in a good quality, I can listen to mp3s, use it as flashlight, I can use youtube, facebook or use it as a navigation system. It tells me about the weather, I can recieve emails and sms and in the end I can use it as phone. Just like any other smartphone. :)

I have to admit, I dont have OctaCore, I dont have 4 GB of RAM and I cant use the android PS2 emulator above 12 fps. :p But that is okay to me. Maybe adding a lighter to smartphones would be a good idea. Or a knife, or a screwdriver...

Im not one of those "Hey, I got the newest Android Custom ROM on my device, how about you ?" guys. But for sure I dont want to be the last guy on earth using 4.0.4. Also, I wont buy a new device, just to have a newer android running.

For example, I maybe think of the day that I want to download an app and it will throw out an error ala "You need Android 4.4 to run this", while I know, that my device is still able to run that app / still powerfull enough to run that app.

I just recieved a LG G2 from my provider today and already decided to sell it on eBay. It wont recieve Android 4.3 and probably around march 2014, LG might introduce Android 4.4 for it. Might...sounds just like the story of the Optimus 3D to me. Sounds just like the story of most other smartphone brands out there.

Google claims, KitKat "was made" for devices with 512 MB RAM. Hey, I DO have that ! :highfive:

So why cant I use it ? :crying:

I know, it will never come. Neither from LG, nor from Cyanogen. Maybe as OmniROM ? I dont think so.

But why is that ? Is it "just" the huge variety of different smartphone models that makes development teams concentrate on the "newer" ones only ?

Are there just too many different smartphones around...too many to cover them all with custom roms ? :rolleyes:

Why even include a function like OTA into smartphones, if a smartphone is already considered "old" after 1 year and beeing forgotten ?

It happened on the notebook/netbook/laptop market already. 10+ year old devices running on WIndows 7. Linux, Mac OSX and even Android (x86) made it into the PC sector.

Even the HTC Dream has a higher Andorid version then mine now. And it (nearly) works perfect. :p

I can see Optimus 3D development coming to a stop soon on xda. I try to understand why, but it is not easy.

What are your thoughts ?
[General Omni Discussion] doctor_droid:
•Lack of proper documentation .. (similar to galaxy nexus)

•Lack of a dedicated device maintainer(must for omni rom :p)

• that time developers now shifted to newer devices

• optimus3d was never a flagship ..hence never got any real attention..

•too heavy :(

•dedicated device owners who got lg g2 decided to sell g2 instead of o3d :D
[General Omni Discussion] itsmemario:
I hate LG for that.

You dooo like the Optimus 3D *magic hand gesticulation*

Switch back to the Optimus 3D...if you ever had one. *magic hand gesticulation*

It is still very powerfull...*magic hand gesticulation*

In terms of weight ? o_O

[/QUOTE]

Im not that dedicated owner who got lg g2 and sold it. *magic hand gesticulation*

:( ... ;)

Maybe LG will re-think about their update policy next year... x'D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightfire:
I have seen it posted that the phone volume control doesn't work. I just ordered a tdk a33 and was hoping this is something that can be fixed via software. Is there any software that will do this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
in general try not to start a thread if there is already a discussion on the subject...

since posting in another thread, i have seen that there are bug reports for this... there is a problem with the bluetooth policies... maybe the fabled 4.4.1 update that "is coming soon" will fix it... maybe not.

in the mean time, i plan to try to come up with a fix this weekend. but it would need root if i'm able to do anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightfire:
OK, The other thread was in accessories and I thought that a thread in Q & A was more appropriate as a question for specific software that might work.

I don't want to root.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremyglass:
Hello all,

I hate to be posting in this sections but I am having a problem with one of my S3 (s). The phone all of a sudden started boot looping and will not stay on recovery or download mode for more than 5 seconds. It will not show the battery icon when plugged in or get past the 2nd Samsung icon. The phone was running MOAR 6.1 and was wiped before flashing and working perfectly for about a month. I am wanting to know what my options are as I have searched this forum and have not found a solution yet. Of course my 1 year warranty expired about 7 days ago :( which I was told when I was calling in to complain about the phone dropping calls and getting hot while charging.

The only thing I am concerned about is if I take it to a Sprint store the phone will get to download mode and shows "custom" in the binary field and flash count of 1 which I think will tell them I am on a custom rom....

Thanks in advance
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremyglass:
I attempted to odin the phone back to stock but it restarted an 1/8th of the way through and now get the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Klies and try again.

What does this mean exactly?

The phone is also powering up when the battery is being inserted and nothing being pressed??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gullzway:
Sounds like your power switch is bad. Mine had the same symptoms, local shop replaced it for $20 today and it works fine now. Not sure on the partial Odin flash.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightstaar:
Hello,

I'd like to preface this to say I've searched through this and other sites but have not found quite the same problem. I also apologise for the small wall of text. I just want to post everything that seems relevant.

Several weeks ago I unlocked my phone and flashed the latest stable Cyanogenmod. This has all gone fine. I decided today I wanted to try something else and settled on TeamAsylum's 4.4 rom.

Downloaded a whole bunch of stuff and was a little confused as the flashing process seemed a bit different and I didn't fully understand it. I booted into Clockwork Recovery and inadvertently flashed the raw kernel from here, which I downloaded in my searches earlier thinking I needed it. I rebooted the recovery but now I get nothing from the phone. No lights, no display, no vibrations.

I have tried a reset (Power+Volume UP). I have tried using SUS and Flashtool but both get to the same point and stop (hole Volume DOWN and plug USB in). Nothing happens after this. The only thing telling me the phone is alive is when I plug it in, Windows makes the detected sound. If it's plugged in when I hold power+Volume UP it repeats the detection sound as if the phone is trying to boot over and over.

I realise I have ****ed up by flashing the kernal of a different phone. I'm hoping someone can help me or guide me in the right direction.

Thank you.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaZieLRaH:
Try this:

Open flashtool

Hold volume up and insert usb cable( you will enter fastboot )

then select fastboot and flash a good kernel for CM.

let me know it this works
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightstaar:
Hi,

I tried what you said. When holding Volume UP and inserting cable, literally nothing happens. I don't even get a sound from Windows detecting it.

Whilst trying this several times though I did notice if I press Power the phone seems to stay on for 30-60 seconds. If I press Power and plug it in, Windows will make a sound. It will then make another sound after 30-60 seconds as if the device has been removed or turned off.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaZieLRaH:
no clue then sorry can't help
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scifan:
Just for giggles, check your device manager to see if you have an unknown device... (you may need to install the fastboot drivers...) I've bootlooped my phone a couple of times while putzing with my phone... And can normally get back into flash mode and fast boot mode...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightstaar:
I did check this. There are no unknown devices. I did install the Xperia Z/fastbot/flashboot drivers from the flashtool folder. When it does make the detection sound Device Manager does 'reset' as if something has connected as well, although I can't find the device.

Most other similar issues have an LED or some type of display and generally are responsive to flashmode. :(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey63:
Note1 boot partition is the XZ's SBL3 (bootloader) partition. So you have effectively flashed a Note1 boot.img to your bootloader. Phone will never boot again once bootloader is hosed. Sorry about your loss:(
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
Shoey is right, your Z is toast now, sorry; the only solution here is to replace the MoBo, and that costs a pretty penny.

But why did you download stuff from the n7000 forum? Didn't everything said there sound unfamiliar and therefore suspicious enough for you

to double-check which forum you were in exactly?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightstaar:
I thought as much. I dun goof'd :(

Thanks for your help.

[MENTION=4406720]chasmodo[/MENTION]: Well I started in the N7000 thread and downloaded all the stuff and copied it to my SD card. I then realised I was in the wrong forum and switched to the relevant thread. All the stuff for the N7000 and the Z were both on my SD card, so it was just a stupid mistake really. Everything on both forums sounded a little unfamiliar. As I mentioned I was a bit cofused on the TWRP section. I should done more research before proceeding.

Do you think there is any use for the phone now? Do you know of anywhere/anyone I can donate it to for spare parts or something?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
As I said, you can get it fixed by replacing the MoBo, but I don't know how much that costs in your country. Google a little, contact someone, get the info and then decide what to do.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightstaar:
I did have a look around and had trouble finding a main board in particular. I contacted Sony as well and they said it was quite expensive to replace.

I contacted my carrier and it appears getting a new phone is a lot cheaper than anything I've looked into so far.

Thanks for your help.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Filou31:
Like many of you, I have been disappointed to see ID Caller not working well on Imate.

I have found a way to make it work almost 100% of the time.

Before posting this solution, I have been experiencing it for 1 month now with no noticeable issues.

Just put two shorcuts pointing to "IA_CID_Startup.exe" and "PhotoContacts.exe" in your startup directory "\windows\startup"

Then Soft Reset

After Soft reset wait for PhotoContacts.exe to load all your contacts and you are ready to enjoy ID Caller

Several things to watch out :

If the trick don't work at first, just soft reset until it works

Never make close "IA_CID_Startup.exe" and "PhotoContacts.exe". (they should always run in background)

If you are using programs that really close applications, just make exceptions for these two.

That's all.

Bye Bye
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] efayes:
thanx man! ur solution solves the case...but consume a little bit of memory...hehe! but it works...

i've found out a easy solution 1 month ago...

U can use Memmaid to adjust the startup program sequence... 8)

Put "poutlook" at the top...and put IA_CallerID at the bottom....letting both have enough time to load...and it works with me....after every soft reset.... :P
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] stevedebi:
I'll try it, but all I did was rename poutlook.lnk to aapoutlook.lnk and IA_CallerID.lnk to zzIA_Callerid.lnk - no need for memmaid
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zerimar:
for me, caller id has always worked as it should using photo contacts pro without any of those tricks or hacks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perceptic:
First of all, I am rooted and S-On. Although, with my problem, I am essentially unrooted as superSU will not flash via TWRP. I get 'Unable to open zip file'. It isn't a problem with the zip as the MD5 is okay. When I try to open the superSU app, I get 'The SU binary needs to be updated' and it pretty much renders it useless as no apps can get root access until I update.

I am new to HTC devices but from what I understand, S-On shouldn't affect this right? I'm just not sure what could be causing it. Thanks

Someone please tell me how to make my rezound work on straighttalk
[HTC Rezound] blu422:
What's the status of your rezound?

Like is it rooted s on/s off pure stock or what

Also straight talk gsm or CDMA
[HTC Rezound] leozdad:
Pure stock from the store.. Up to date with all updates
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
What Straight Talk option... CDMA or GSM, the procedure is very different and of varying degree of difficulty...

CDMA (Verizon/Sprint) - need a donor ST phone, and clone the ESN/MEID, plus tweaks in the radio settings. Unlocked or S-OFF and root required, 3G data possible, no 4G

GSM (AT&T/T-Mobile) - Edge (2G, around ~220kb/s) data possible out of box with no changes to phone except change radio mode and add APN setting. 3G/4G possible on AT&T only with pretty in depth modification of radio settings and some prop.build file edits, this is still in the works for a walk-thru, this also would require an unlocked bootloader or S-OFF and root.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
if you want i can guide you on how to get straight talk working via a sim card and get 3g and very soon to come 4g....i too use straight talk and am developing on enabling 4g for all carriers....if you go with a sim there is a very certain sim card you have to get
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
[MENTION=5037435]REV3NT3CH[/MENTION] are you making a guide for it? It's going to cost me over $500 to switch to my own Verizon contract so I may switch to ST until I save up enough money.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
with the sim card method?
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
It'll be on Verizon towers so...? In not really sure.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
The method to move it to Straight Talk w/Verizon towers is the relatively the same as moving a Rezound to PagePlus, follow that tutorial except substitute a Straight Talk 3G smartphone (instead of a PP phone) as a donor and program the Rezound accordingly.

If AT&T has service in your area and you are not comfortable with the heavy modifications required to do that, I would recommend moving to GSM service... get a Straight Talk AT&T GSM SIM and go from there. AT&T is recommended over T-Mobile as the frequecies used for higher speed data on T-Mobile are not compatible with the Rezzy.

Why is it going to cost you $500 to get out of your current contract? Honestly, unless because of service coverage you are forced to Verizon, drop them completely... A good GSM smartphone with HSPA+ can be had for well under $150 used, a new Nexus 5 will set you back $350, and a Straight Talk/AIO Wireless/AT&T Go Phone SIM card will run you $45-$60 per month, saving $40-$60 per month, easily paying for the phone in a just a few months.
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
Well I'm getting off my parents line and getting my own. Considering my lack of credit, Verizon is going to charge $400 for a security deposit, along with the first months bill. If I want to buy a phone that is on there too ($199 but I'll get $100 back). I have considered a gsm company, but up here in the mountains, Verizon is basically monopoly. All the other carrier's coverage is hit and miss.
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Actually, for that kind of money I would look at some of the ZTE, LG, or Samsung phones that Straight Talk has that are CDMA (Verizon) based, for under $200 you can get ST phone that will just work (sometimes using Verizon ST on a flashed phone isn't the most reliable for all services) with Jellybean. ZTE are not the best phones, but they are not crap either, a friend has the ZTE Solar and loves it... Plus you will still save $50/month over a traditional VZW plan.
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
We just don't have many choices here at our Walmart. I think the beat phone I've seen for ST that would work here is the S3
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
www.StraightTalk.com

The S3 is nice, but at $399 its a little steep, although you might be able to get one on eBay for around $320 or so. The ZTE Solar is $179 online, 4.5" display, dual core 1.2ghz, 768MB ram, and JB 4.1. Not super impressive, but acceptable.

EDIT: Nevermind... it seems the Straight Talk ZTE phones are all GSM, not Verizon based, it has a SIM card when I looked at my friends this morning. Guess I was barking up the wrong tree the whole time. :/
[HTC Rezound] tmanschuette:
No problem, I appreciate the input! I wish st would get the S4 already ;)
