[LG G Flex] Battleplan:
Almost at two weeks of ownership and have been evaluating if I will be keeping the G Flex.

To begin, I wouldn't consider myself to be a hardcore phone junkie, but I like to upgrade every year or so, and my wife has always enjoyed my hand-me-downs. I don't root/flash ROMs, but that's primarily due to a fear of bricking my device, but I have considered doing so, particularly with my last phone (Note 2) primarily because of the absolutely RIDICULOUS amount of software bloat. I like Samsung, and the Note 2 was great, but holy cow....so much bloat!

Regarding the G Flex (on Sprint), I would like to try and dispel this recurring, rampant notion that the 720p screen is substandard. I just don't get it. I have shown my device to all of my friends and they are surprised when I tell them the screen is "only" 720p. The colors are vivid and the display is sharp. Video looks better on this device than on any other device I've used, which the curve definitely influences. Everyone who has watched video on the phone agrees...the curve, while subtle, definitely improves the viewing experience.

Speed is excellent. No slowdown or stuttering yet, but there is a weird effect when web-browsing sometimes...for a split second new pages will be very blurry (text in particular). Odd, and the only strange behavior I've noted thus far.

Keyboard is great. I used my Note 2 for over a year and CONSTANTLY had typos...even when I was trying to be careful. Capture is much better with G Flex and I need to correct far fewer mistakes. Back buttons are easy to use and are perfectly positioned, although are unwieldy to reach when I have the phone on a charging dock. Not a big deal by any stretch.

I absolutely LOVE the multitasking features. Clicking a link in an email will launch split screen, showing your email in the top half, and the other content (eg web browser) in the lower half. Why all devices don't automatically have this feature I'll never know.

Antenna strength seems comparable to my Note 2, or perhaps very slightly worse. Call quality is very good, earpiece volume is fine, and the speakerphone is sufficient for me.

Also, I have never had as many comments about a smartphone before as I have had with this. Multiple times in less than 2 weeks folks have said..."OMG...is your phone CURVED?" or something to that effect. It is, without question, a looker in the appearance department. The phone is dead sexy to look at...Samsung needs to take notes from LG's designs lately.

In all, I've been TRYING to find reasons to shoot down this device, but all in all, it is a great upgrade from my Note 2, although the lack of SD card capability was a drag. I have a couple more days to decide for sure, but thus far the only compelling reason I have to return it would be that LG devices don't hold their value like Apple/Samsung. I tend not to sell my devices though (my wife gets 'em when I upgrade), so thats not really an issue for me either.

Great stuff so far. And sorry for the long post..just trying to lend feedback for folks sitting on the fence.
[LG G Flex] :
I love my g flex but....

So far ive loved my device until about a few weeks ago...thats when it all started. Im running completely stock,no root, 4.4.2 and it runs great but ive been getting a signal reboot and data not connecting very often. Its a pain. I went to att and they seen no problems with the coverage or data. I been getting it daily now and it seems a phone reboot solves the problem. Its becoming a pain in my buns. And it sucks cause im stuck with this phone unless i pay it in full or warranty it. Other than that the phone is very awesome. No problems beside what ive mentioned. Will probably warranty my phone this coming week.
[LG G Flex] xqae24:
I'm not sure about not getting warm and hot. My G Flex gets all burning with me especially near the camera area especially when I'm playing intense graphics games. The uncommon resolution also makes it not available for many apps to run on, like themer.

Well other than that i think it's beast
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] nafayazhar:
My Xperia TX wont turn on after android 4.3 update.

The phone worked perfectly for one day after the update but it wont turn on now.

The phone stucks on the screen which comes after the SONY logo and the XPERIA logo,the screen on which different colours come and flow away.

what do i do ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mdc1983uk:
Your going to have to reinstall the update with repair option on a computer.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
As soon as the XPERIA logo disappears, keep "Vol down" pressed until it boots into Safe Mode. If it does, then it might be that you installed some app that is not allowing it to boot. If it still doesn't boot, and if you have a recovery, you can wipe /cache, else you'll have to do what was suggested in the previous post.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] paulr81:
I just got my new M5000 yesterday, bought off Ebay.

It was sold as unlocked - but the phone refuses to accept my sim card for some reason - tells me invalid or missing sim. And yes, my sim works fine on another telefone. I have tried another sim from a friend in my M5000, and that works fine. Does anybody know if the M5000 has some limitation as to what sim cards it accepts?

Thanks, Paul

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumsy:
Hey, with all those out-dated guides I got a bit off track ;/

I've got motorolla defy red lense(in which i flashed mb526 cm10 a few months ago and it worked fine.. except phone goes blank when talking and nothing I do responds.. probably approxamity censor disfunctioning).. anyhow I tried flashing slimkat and it made my defy brick (phone stuck on M logo) , tried wiping cache and data through stock recovery no use, now I flashed following sbf DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf

which ended up bricking my phone even harder D: (pushing the power button ends up showing bootloader and code corrupt battely low can't program message) [which probably means I flashed an irrelevant sbf with cg not compatible with my phone)

my bootloader is 9.10

oh and I have this nandroid backup back when I had stock rom (but can't recover it since I can't go on custom recovery)

any help would be appreciated!

in the meantime I charge the phone, I guess the idea is to flash the relevant sbf with relevant cg but how can I find one, and is the country of the sbf really matters?

thanks.

edit - apperantly the phone can't be charged I don't know.. it's connected to the computer/wall for quite a time and nothing changes. I don't wanna do the mcgyver method and lose my usb cable for it ;/

considering I flashed an incompatible sbf, and when connecting to computer it shows white led (when wall it won't show it will automatically open bootlader with the error.. (err A5,69,4E,00,f1), the white led ensures me the battery is loading? how can I see progress ;/

I have galaxy ace plus with a LI battery 2.7v (same as the defy) but it's bigger, should I try connecting it or it can ruin things up?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgreed:
BEFORE flashing (not flushing :)) your phone you MUST read carefully the reference which you surely will find in the Defy area. ALL your question was mentioned and solved here. You DIDN'T have a bricked phone and with patience you could fix it. Have a nice lecture!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumsy:
well, I searched all over the place for hints and all I see is MacGyver and get another battery, but all posts are really really old that's why I'm asking here...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
McGyver still applies to the low battery problem.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumsy:
Yeah, I know, but I don't have a cable I can spare, isn't there any other thing I can do?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pgreed:
You DON'T need a USB to USBmini cable. Is sufficient USB to USB cable (~1EURO) at which you cut a jack.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumsy:
I took my old mp3 cable and it worked :) even though I was sceptic. Anyhow my defy is noticeably slow now before flashing a Rom and after (slimkat) and my antutu dropped from 4990 to 4300 :(
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stoku:
Did you overclock your phone before? Maybe your OC setting is now default. Im using 1200mhz@62vsel with slimkat 3.0 (dalvik) and it's very smooth and stable. Only don't remember my antutu score.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumsy:
by overclock you mean just changing the frequency in settings? :x

maybe the rom I used (cyanogenmod) before came with default oc?

I think mine is now 1000mhz..

what governor should I choose?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stoku:
Yes, the frequency settings in Aero Control or recovery. You can try to set 1200mhz if your Antutu score is important, but you should get much more points on default settings than 4300. I've got 4740 on the clean SlimKat 2.6.

The default governor (interactive) is recommended and works fine for me.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mumsy:
I don't care that much about antutu it's just that it's slower than before.. and antutu is a way to show it.. i guess.

maybe the 4900 antutu was a good day for the defy :P anyhow I'm glad I could "revive" it and fix the annoying problem with approxamity censor that was on cyangonmod.

Thanks alot for your help :)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tranzy:
Because i'm having bluetooth audio problems with numerous carkits/headsets i found out that going back to stock 4.1.2 resolves this problem.

The way i do this now is:

1. flash hboot 1.44

2. restore downloaded nandroid backup via CWM stock rom 1.29.401.12 for HTC__E11 (M7 CWM Nandroid Backup / CID HTC__102 / 1.29.401.12 (DE Unbranded - Thanks to FordSierra88))

after restoring touch doesn't work but use a USB Mouse

3. flash stock 1.29.401.12 recovery

4. fastboot oem lock

5. install RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.7_Radio_4A.13.3231.27_10.31.1131.05_release_310878_signed

I have a feeling that i'm taking a sightseeing tour with this approach. Can i do this quicker???

Maybe via Guru reset? or RUU.zip? I understand that my CID must be stock and no Custom recovery installed and bootloader locked?

Again.. my goal is stock rom including OTA's. I stop installing OTA's after the one in the picture.

Can someone clear things up for me please?

I tried flashing Guru_Reset_M7_1.29.401.13 and ticked everything stock. Ended up with touchscreen not working and noticed that i was still on version 3.62.

I will download the zip you suggested. I takes a while to download so i will report back.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yeah that's normal, because the touchscreen drivers were updated in 2.xx (and not backwards compatible)

you just need to use Step 2:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip <- yes TWICE

fastboot reboot-bootloader

all done, no need to mess with anything else (tampered, unlocked, S-Off), everything back to stock 1.28 and you can take OTAs to whichever version you want, or stop at 1.28

recommend you stay s-off

Do i need to flash the hboot 1.44 and do i need to lock the bootloader for this to work?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tranzy:
I'm at work. So i will have to download this at home later on. But i need a working phone now. So i decided to give the RUU.exe file a go again. (It worked before) but it failed this time. The only thing i did was flash the 1.44 hboot again and now the rom installed nicely.

I guess the RUU.exe needs the 1.44 hboot after all? Is this correct?

Sorry but i'm fairly new to this all and i'm just trying this out following your guides and that of other. Trial and error method
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yes correct, the RUU.exe needs a separate hboot downgrade first (if hboot is 1.55+), to allow the RUU to work.

on the other hand, the ruu.zip method does not.

End result is the same.

Hey all so I have a note 3 rooted with xposed framework. Wondering if a module exists to do any/all of the following

-Make the font of the items in the notification shade smaller so I can see more

-Change the font of the items in shade to resemble font of nexus 5 or similar

-Get rid of word "ongoing" and "notification" I don't need to see the titles and would rather have the real estate back

-Possible to minimize the indicators up top vertically? Wanam can removed the indicator bars and text but the tile is still the same height which doesn't help.

[General Questions and Answers] KingEB:
Hi there, just wondering if anyone can help with a small problem I'm having after flashing a new ROM - {ROM}[T][STOCK][JB 4.3][UB&LB][9.2.A.0.295] Official Firmware - Rooted&Deodexed 18/02, by DaRk-L0rD. My problem is that when I first turn on my XperiaT, I usually have no service on my phone - i.e- I cant make calls at all. The phone works fine for everything else, but I have to manually go into Settings-More-Mobile Networks and after a few seconds the phone picks up the signal and the bars appear. If I don't do this it will just sit there for hours not getting anything! I've tried entering the Phone Information menu through *#*#4636#*#*, and setting the preferred method to WCDMA, and I've made sure that in the Mobile Networks settings that is also the preferred method, however it seems that if I reboot the phone, or the battery dies and I switch it on, it randomly forgets these settings and I get nothing. If I try to enter the Settings-About Phone-Status screen when I've no signal then I get force closed, but when I have signal it opens no problem and my IMEI is there and is correct. Also, sometimes the little red missing SIM icon appears alongside the red x on the bars, although this doesn't happen all the time.

It's a small issue because it only happens maybe 80% of the time, and it's not a big deal going into settings and reactivating things, but it's a bit of a hassle at this stage.

Previously I used "[ROM]XperimenT 3.5[T/TL][9.1.A.1.145][Locked & Unlocked][23/09/13]" by TiMiN8R without this issue so I know that the phone/sim are actually ok as it only started immediately after flashing the new ROM.

You can see from my three screenshots that I have no service for two minutes, enter the mobile networks menu, and finally after being in that menu for a few seconds up pop the bars!

If anyone can help me out I would really appreciate it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] boland3:
So I was backing up my data to my computer's hard drive and I left the SD card in the computer. No big deal, right? Wrong. My phone (rooted Razr with Batakang) refuses to start up. Tried mounting and unmounting, system off, power button and vol down, nothing will save it. I can get to Matt's utility just fine, but from there the phone will not start up properly on stock OR rooted rom.

Please help, it is like a boot loop when I leave it alone.

:confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] boland3:
UPDATE: I flashed Batakang to the same ROM slot where I think I had it before (It won't let me switch slots) and it is working but I guess I lost everything I had into the oblivion. Id like to get some of my app information like saved texts, etc back but I guess thats all gone.

I had that ROM so perfect, it is such a shame to see it go. If anything good comes out of this, hopefully people reading this will be made aware that it is possible for a battery death while SD card is removed can SERIOUSLY screw up a rooted phone somehow. Never would have guessed.
