Ho Ho Ho!

PLEASE VOTE (JUST CLICK ONE)!!! Everyone here gets a vote, regardless of status as expert or noob ;)

(mustering my best HAMLET voice..) "To Linux, or VoIP, THAT! is the question"....

I've been out of the scene for a while (working 2 jobs all this year). So I have quite a little collection now of phones, I've been building up. I consider them all

WIFI only "TOYs" now

, and will probably never reactivate them for cellular use (unless I brick my HTC One, currently on CM 10.2, aka, 4.3.1)

My best available toy at the moment is an ol' (Toro) Vzw Gnex, and I'm dying to tinker with it.

I have access to a PSTN accessible/working Cisco CUCM server (v.9) inside a Firewall where I work (and even better WIFI there, albeit on a different VLAN), which I could set it up for VoIP with (purely as a testing/learning tool), but I'm also seriously considering putting Linux on it.

Thusly, dear friends, which is nobler then?...

(1) To go the VoIP route, and use WIFI + a VoIP client?, and can'st ye offer any advise on a client I should use (other than Jabber, duh)?

~OR, Good Fellows~

(2) Shall I go the Linux route?, and can't ye offer a humble servant any link (or some tips) on installing a very FAT (inclusive) Linux server, with package mgmt (aka, Ubuntu Touch seems rather slim for my tastes)??

Ado, ado!,

~Paul

I am very sure it has been brought up in the i527's infancy, but it is now 3 or 4 months old. So why is it there is no forum designated specifically for the i527?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shadow1179:
I belive stuff that works on the i920x works on i527/527M as well I am currently running CM11 that was made on an i920x device as well as my recovery is from there as well

**EDIT** seems I am wrong the i527(ATT version) has a unique boot loader my apologies
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] captemo:
I appreciate it but AT&T is different and there is a bootloader issue. But it is the sifting through all the other versions of this device that makes it difficult. If you ask me, it is also inviting the person who is categorized as the newbie to flash incompatible files and brick their devices. I know better, but it is still possible. Who is to say someone labels something wrong. All it takes is one to blurt out, "hey, this will work on Joe Blows phone", and its all over.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shadow1179:
For sure just after I posted here I noticed the talk about boot loader.....theres too many different damn models of the same phone its brutal there should be just one model of each phone and be done with it no confusion no compatability issues or anything but I guess that would make it too easy for us lol

I think the i527 got root, right?

You could try to install the the recovery image with terminal commands

su

dd if=<path to recovery img> of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

reboot recovery

if everything worked well, flash cm
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Yes, we do have root.

Will this bypass the locked bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bhaskell:
"get bent"! LMAO

Glad to see another NOTE 1 user over in the Mega forum... I think we are all hoping that if we get the bootloader issue fixed and start getting some development going, we might see a dedicated forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Grarak:
I don't know

But it's worth to try
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dparrothead1:
Nope! I know you are good at this, Grarak....any other suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Grarak:
typ in

ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

or download partition table from play store and gimme some screenshots in advanced menu

and did you typ in the correct path to recovery image?

[Moto X Q&A] bmsimon:
I'm thinking of buying the moto x since Motorola decided to offer the $150 discount again. Since I use Straight Talk, I'll be buying the unlocked GSM version. My question is this: can I still unlock the bootloader?

This site https:// motorola-global-portal.custhelp. com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215 says that for the US versions, only the Sprint T-mobile and US Cellular versions can be unlocked. It doesn't say anything about the unlocked GSM version of the phone
[Moto X Q&A] Rhiannon224:
T Mobile is GSM SIM unlocked. The bootloader can be unlocked.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
Return it for replacement. Definitely not normal. Especially that hot. This phone stays cooler than my Spectrum. I get no sound static or audible noise less I'm on call, ect. Sounds like voltage leak, and into the speakers. Never uncomfortable at ear after an hour of games. Demand a replacement.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
I already made a thread about the noise. The last lg phones have it. All nexus 4... you can check the threads...

And also this one. Once heard cannot be unheard.

Some ppl do not hear it. Some ppl do not wanna hear it.

What I read from N4 the intensity of the noise can differ...But am not sure about that. Mine n4 from us had it. And a brand new that a friend bought few week back from eu the same...

But a replacement won't do a thing. No one said oh, New device fixed it. Max they did. Oh, it's better. They also said that the issue can become worse in time.

It's just the quality control sucks in the dept from lg...

Anyway. When you exchange it. Let me know if the new device is better.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kabloinko:
I was expecting the store to replace it with a new one on the spot, it was only a week old. But since they couldn't "reproduce" the problem they had to send it to the service center. It's nice to know that at least I'm not being super annoying and complaining about things that are "normal". I did wonder why no one complained about the top part getting hot. I have hats, don't need an ear-warmer!

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kabloinko:
I did search for similar threads but found nothing that matched my issues with noises during idle.

I am soo glad to hear that I'm not the only one with the issue, or that I'm imagining things! I don't have much hope of the new one being better, which I told them at the store. If it persists with the new one I'm returning it. I was contemplating getting the Nexus 5 instead of the G2. I didn't notice the sound on the Nexus 4, but maybe it was fainter than on the G2. So does the Nexus 5 also have this issue?

If it gets worse with time I'll probably end up getting annoyed at some point.

I'll let you know if the new one is better. but that won't happen for at least 3 weeks. I'm guessing a month and a half with it being xmas and all that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Search in the N4 threads for static noise.

Btw, sometimes it's harder to hear, depends on the environment.

I bet N5 has the same issue...

As said, many do not wanna hear it.... And some even can't (doesn't mean it's not there...)

Btw I am fighting with myself too. If I should claim warranty or let it be... But sometimes it's pretty annoying. Mostly in calls in the silent periods. And sometimes I do not perceive it.

I got the g2 in hope that the n4 bug will be fixed.... One thing though in N4 it was worse.

Edit: some theory I remember. Said to have something to do with the data transfer. So in N4 they made "fixes" with tasker for calls with data WiFi Off during call and on after etc.

Btw if you really can hear from that far you really can have good hearing or really defect device... I can hear mine only ear next to it. Same as N4
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kabloinko:
Oh interesting, found lots of posts on the N4 board.. guess I didn't use the magic combo of words to get any relevant hits when I searched before I posted.

Yeah, the guy at the store definitely didn't even want to hear it. It's also hard to prove the sound is actually there. I mean how do I prove that I can actually hear the noise? I dearly would love to be able to keep this phone and live with the noise, but not combined with the top part acting like a stove. If I can't convince the store guys that there is something wrong with it and LG won't hear of it I guess I'm looking at a Samsung instead :/
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sktr021:
:confused:

Um, actually I exchanged my first device with a new one and it is gone. I was super sensitive to the sound although my cousin and the best buy guy could not hear it. I was exactly as OP described. Totally gone.

The one difference in the two phones is the first one I received needed to receive updates out of the box and the second one already had the updates. So i'm assuming the first was from an older batch of phones.

PS THIS IS A VERIZON DEVICE!!!!

OP I would suggest swapping it out. It doesn't hurt to swap it out and get a new one. If it still does it your only out a few minutes of time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
That is actually good news. If it's really gone. Am bit skeptical, coming from countless threads, and some devices on my own in N4.

Well another thing I remember was that some ppl reported like you over the N4. Issue gone. And then few weeks after a re-post. "It's back"

Let's hope that does not happen though.

How long you have it already?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sktr021:
I mean the screeching noise on my first device was constant. From the time I got it on day one. I just thought maybe it was me, or it was just something kind of temporary etc.. My girlfriend even made jokes about how I was getting old (im about to turn 25 lol) and its just my hearing. As soon as I got the second device it stopped. I was told it is probably a resistor or something like that making more noise than it should. I dont know.

I've had the second device for about two weeks or so.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kabloinko:
This sounds encouraging... so maybe it will be fixed on mine when I get it back? Store would not hear of just swapping it out for a new one on the spot so I'm stuck waiting.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
usually when you hear hissesbits bad reception, but sometimes its bad simcard and rarely some hobbyist or secret agency listening in. Try elimination apps also, some could interfere somehow when trying to setup a tap

try different sim/network just in case, note different sim will erase some stuff

I forgot the obvious, liquid, damp environments like shower can break microphones or speakers or cause previously isolated components to leak into another
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Yeah. No. That what we spoke of, is well documented and reported in N4.

Allegedly it's a shielding issue and as someone said the speaker or some other part is picking up static etc.

(Continued with data activity)

As said it's also on idle when screen of, phone sleeping....

The showering would make sense if they would do it by default in LG factories :D

Same goes with aps.

But there are 2 issues that are reported for G2. One i think is the call quality for Verizon I think that maybe can be fixed with a software update.

And then there is this. It's static noise, crackling, etc which can be heard "anytime". It's feint, but there. Where it's annoying for me is in the silent parts of a call, when no one talks and my ear is near the device.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
actually just get a glass, or look at the mirror when you showered and how much condense is on it. then think, could that condense form on/in phone, you'd be amazed ;) your microphone/speaker etc etc

Sonys strategy should be copied by all phone manufacturers
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sktr021:
Where did you get it and how long ago?

When I spoke to Verizon they said that it is considered a manufacturer defect and that it would be absolutely no issue switching it. He also said they weren't receiving many complaints about this issue.

I purchased mine at Best Buy and they swapped it out (after 3 days) without any questions at all. He just said no problem and switched it out.

I would pitch a fit if they won't work with you. It wouldn't even hurt them as it would be sent back to LG as defective anyways.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kabloinko:
I'm in Sweden and got mine at a normal electronics store, the international version and not operator branded or anything. I got mine Dec 16 and went back to the store Dec 21. The guy at the store first wanted to do a warranty claim but I called bull**** and stated DOA since it was not even a week old. I was in that store for an hour trying to just explain what the hell was wrong with it. They claim they couldn't just switch it for a new one since they couldn't reproduce the problem. I don't know how the hell they expect to reproduce the problem with a soundsystem pumping in store (no chance in hell of having as good hearing as at night or when it's just quiet!) and listening for it in a soundproof room seems kind of moot too. My apartment is not soundproof nor is it isolated from radio interference or even in a particularly hot spot for cell reception.

I'm guessing LG Sweden haven't heard so much about this since they probably haven't sold as many of them over here. I'm emailing LG to hear what they have to say for themselves. I am in no way backing down on this. if I get it back and the service papers state nothing done and nothing wrong (in which case the store will make me pay the shipping fees) I will void the purchase. Will see if they try to fight me on that too. I'm bringing big brother to the store next time, he gets... loud.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kabloinko:
Update:

I was just in the store to get my phone after getting an email that said it had gotten back from the servicecenter having been repaired but the DOA claim was denied. The repairshop had added little to no info on what exactly they had repaired or why the DOA had been denied, I asked the woman in the store for clarification and I stated that the fact that the phone had been repaired it clearly showed that it was DOA. She went back to check and came back and questioned why her co-worker had even sent it in for repair in the first place as it was de facto DOA and their routine is not to send DOAs for repair.

I never did found out exactly was what wrong with it, I got a brand new phone and an apology right there on the spot. I'm about to charge my new phone now so I can't say if the new phone has the same sound issues or heat problems yet. I'll come back and edit this post with the results, just for future reference.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
yeah if you edit it I won't get a notification. Just reply normally :) and thanks for the info
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kabloinko:
Have tried it out for a little while now, not enough for it to get hot, but I can confirm that the persistent noise from the top of the phone is present in the new one too. Even tried disconnecting electronics that might interfere (cordless phones, wifi dongles, computer, speakers) but no change.

As for call quality, the voice quality is definitely better, no tin-can or garbled speech, but if both sides happen to speak at the same time it gets a bit choppy and cut off.

I'm going to post a question on LG Sweden's FB page and see if they have the balls to answer or simply ignore it and call it a feature most people can't hear. I'm curious as to what exact part in the phone is making the noise.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Just as I suspected... it's present on every device...(maybe environment dependant)

Ppl just do not hear it or do not wanna hear it :)

Don't expect a fix. N4 never saw an acknowledgement....

[Moto X Q&A] VegasRooted:
Same Issue...

Same thing happened to me with a 32GB Sprint Moto X that I just received two days ago. I have already used the Motorola website to unlock a 16GB model bought directly from Sprint, and I also used it to unlock a 32GB Sprint model that I bought from the MotoMaker site a month ago...but this Moto X that came two days ago (bought from MotoMaker during the $150 off promotions) is showing the same "device not eligible for bootloader unlocking" message that is mentioned in the OP. I have read that this has happened to a few folks, and might be due to Motorola not having that specific phone (IMEI) and/or unlocking code added to the system yet, especially if you just received it? (In other words, some who have received that message have later been able to unlock, they just had to wait for some period of time?) If that is the case, I would imagine that it would be more common right now with the flood of Moto X's that they had to crank out after the $150.00 off promotions.

Who knows...hopefully with the passage of time you will be able to unlock eventually.

Cheers,

VegasRooted
[Moto X Q&A] shloho:
No. I also followed qbking and it didn't work because his method gives you two spaces. Follow Motorola's instructions and you'll be good. That's what happened to me.
