Hi hi.

Funny. I didn't check my serial, but I'm sure I lost it, too as I get the same system message that my device would not be registered.

Anyways. I just now revert back to cm11 because it offers more that I like than the stock rom does. I like the LG keyboard and the lock screen where the touch of a finger reveals part of the home screen. Otherwise, I like cm11 better except that I hate that notifications and quick settings are separate.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] redcrash:
Hello,

I'm just suffering also from zero S/N, but I'm wondering whether I can get this S/N from the box (which I still have). So I'd like to ask two questions to the forum.

First is for m.crespo, my box seems to have two serial numbers, one labeled as S/N and another labeled as CSN. Would you (or someone else who still have the box and a S/N) mind checking which of the two is the value shown in the Serial number field?

EDIT: Ah! It's also on the back of the tablet! :D

Second, is it possible to change somehow the Serial number for those who have root access?

Thank you very much!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] m.mcrespo:
now strange the number tablet show its different values in box.

Anyone have an issue with ext as card on this build? I have a 32 th SanDisk and it reads it fine but will not write to it.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nsmart:
This is a 'feature' of newer Android Versions. You can read about it here -> http://www.chainfire.eu/articles/113/Is_Google_blocking_apps_writing_to_SD_cards_/

You can fix it by modifying /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml and adding

<group gid="media_rw" /> to the section <permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

-> reboot needed.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Duffman14:
Article seems a little out dated. I know kk treats the sd card differently but I have no problems with the same card on 4.2 or on Mahdi which is KK. I also have no problems with my GS3 running KK. Is this an LG issue? I tried that fix and it didn't help.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] AlexanderKgr:
There is an app at play store.fixsd which works flawlessly...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Maybe in the latest leak LG corrected Google's nonsence but in the first leak sd card is read only and editing platform.xml solved problem.

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] nsmart:
I can't really say why it is not working for you, but I am on the same rom (KOT49I.V50018a) and applied this fix successfully a few days ago. I used solid explorer to edit platform.xml and after rebooting the device I was able to save/delete files to external SD with solid explorer.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Duffman14:
Sounds related to the issue I am having.

Go to the settings in Titanium, preferences, backup folder location, detect and change it to the internal location.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
interesting. when i switched the folder to internal, I noticed it said "This folder isn't writeable" to my whole external card. weird.. oh well
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] spsantos:
Hi.

I´m thinking to flash this rom but i have a doubt.

Always i want to update an application by LG actualization center i have to do this:

FIX:

Method 1:

Use Flashable zip to toggle between EU and US build.prop

It will detect what build.prop you currently have and swap it.

Note: If you have made any other changes to your build.prop, they will be lost using this. Use the other manual method instead.

Or only have to do the first time and since them no problems.

Thanks.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papperlapapp:
Hi there,

I managed to root my Xperia Z1 using firmware 14.2.A.1.136 with the help of DoomLoord´s stock kernel FW-136_v01.

Upon what code is this kernel based? Is this a stock Android 4.3 kernel or does it contain Sony code? Is it based on Sony kernel code? If the Sony kernel is open source, after all...

I ask, because the original Sony kernel has some security features that might get lost when using a stock kernel without Sony extensions.

So, does DoomLoord´s kernel include Sony code or is it a "naked" stock Android kernel?

Thanks for any hint!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegahanggara:
1. If you use 136, then use V7 for more features and more stable.

2. It is based on Sony Stock Kernel.

3. Flashing custom kernel need unlocked bootloader, which mean you'll lost your DRM key. This is Sony security which you meant, this is not kernel issue, it's just something you get from what you do (unlock bootloader = lost DRM key)

If I missed to answer your questions, let me know.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papperlapapp:
I did not find a version v7 for the 136 firmware on his website.... Do you have a link?

Well, on the Sony website I found a paper that says Sony added security enhancements to the Linux kernel, precisely some kind of runtime control mechanism that is not part of the standard Linux kernel. Thus, there is actually some kernel enhancement by Sony to their Linux kernel. This is why I asked, if DoomLoord uses the Sony kernel source these enhancements will be part of his kernel. If DoomLord does not use the Sony kernel source, these enhancements will not be part of his kernel.

Besides, does it require a kernel change to root a device?

Thank you!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crzykiller:
Ok i've been recently having this problem with my UPTestEX KDZ flasher or whatever you call it. When i wanted to return to stock, I chose my KDZ and pressed normal web upgrade and then Upgrade Start. This brought up a little window with the country and language selection and clear update data registry or whatever it said at the top.

Now since KitKat came out for my Telus D803, i wanted to restore to stock and get the OTA but now when I press normal web upgrade, instead of the little window popping up I get the LGMobile Support Tool and nothing else happens... I have changed nothing in any of the settings. Does anyone know why it does this?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matty491:
Hi everyone, I currently have a samsung galaxy S4 I9505 phone running android 4.3. I upgraded to 4.3 via Odin not via the inbuilt software update. Im wondering if it is at all possible to downgrade to 4.2.2 because with 4.3 their has been an introduction of a lot of bugs to apps such as Chrome and Spotify. These bugs have since been really getting annoying and the only time I didn't have to deal with them would be when I was running 4.2.2.

Alternatively can anyone tell me if upgrading to android Kitkat for S4 would potentially fix these problems?

Any help will of course be greatly appreciated and even if no help can be given thanks for taking the time to read this post.

First impressions

It looks like carbon fiber and you do feel a slight texture.

It goes on easily with plenty of flexibility to line up with every cutout on the phone.

It can be reapplied in case of misalignment

It can be gently stretched to form a perfect fit around all four sides while still lining up with the cutouts

The sides surprised me by being slightly harder to line up than the front and back.

I may have gotten lucky with the front and back but they lined up perfectly on the very first try.

I did not follow any instructions

I did not remove my matte plastic screen protector

I did not remove the cutouts for the back or menu buttons

My dual layer case even fits if I ever need a little more protection.

Cutouts all line up perfectly for me.

Capacitive Buttons respond just fine while being covered completely

Makes the phone feel less slippery in my hands

Colors in my opinion work very well together.

Feels like it will stay in place unless I really choose to move it.

So far after just 24 hours I'm definitely impressed with the quality in materials the fit and the feel of this product. It was much easier to install than I had anticipated. It looks and feels much nicer than I ever imagined.

Thanks to Weston and Slickwraps.com my phone is now better protected, less slippery, and looks very unique

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kangal:
That Sedio case is pretty good, its VERY protective yet much smaller than Otterbox and etc etc.

In fact, Otterbox is a pretty crappy case from my experience.

I like that case also has a sturdy kickstand, something I look for in all cases for phones that are 5+ inches.

Just wondering, do you like using the phone with the case more often than just the skin?

I was contemplating on using a skin + kickstand4u. And maybe a thin, plastic bumper too (you know for "just enough" protection, as slim as possible, and kickstand).

Have you had any experience with this?

How often do you use / want to use a kickstand?

Cheers

Kangal
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 954wrecker:
I use the case 99.9% of the time. I rarely use the phone without a case it's just too slippery and too unprotected for my taste. Kickstand use is rare for me but it's nice that it's got one.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kangal:
Wow, thanks for the update.

I changed my mind. I was going to do the same thing.... but have a (stick-on) kickstand on the back.

The stick-on isn't secured too well to the phone, and the extra layer of slickwrap on top would've sufficed.

...

But the problem is that it kinda gets slippery like you said.

And the 3M wrap doesn't absorb shocks, so a drop of the phone can cause (nicks) damages.

I've got a Matte-textured Black case that adds heaps of protection, and has a useful kickstand as well.

It does add girth, which is unwelcomed.... but its a worthwhile trade off.

Though it feels a little oversized for even me.

I think my minimum phone size is 5.2 inches, and maximum is 5.7 inches.

And ofcourse shaved bezels.

Optimum for me would be about 5.3 inches, with bezels like LG G3 or even less.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Back when I was floundering around (no, I mean really floundering around) with ADB and such I had a bunch of stuff installed and somehow went down the SDK rabbit hole with my laptop (WinXP). Now when I plug in my Nook it wants to install it as an Android Bridge Device. I humored it once and then found that I could not use the regular USB file transfer mode. That was a non-starter. So I removed the Android Bridge Device from the Device Manager and thought I had cleaned up all vestiges of the mad experiment on my laptop, but with Windows, nothing is ever truly "cleaned up", it seems.

I can just abort the attempted ADB device installation each time, of course, but is there a way to be done with the entire process once and for all?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] jxcorex28:
I have been using gophone service for the last year or so and it's so epensive. My mother on the other hand has been paying 45 bucks for unlimited talk/text. I pay 60 bucks a month for a 2gb data unlimited tet/talk package + 2 gig's of add'l data (80-90 bucks total a month)...She just got this 45 dollar package that contains 4 sim card's (2 micro/standard sim cards & 2 nano sim cards). Well I got her phone working (it wasnt hard, it's not a smartphone)..I used a micro-sim card, inserted it into the slot...The phone tells me to reboot so I did..I expect to see bars or something but nothing happens. I than went to the apn settings and it has att, att phone, att broadband, att lte, straight talk & straight talk.mnvo...None of them work and all of them are forcing me back to the 3g selection instead of LTE preferred...How can I active a sim card that isnt showing me the right apns to give my phone (lg optimus g e970) data ? I really have no desires to go back to at&t go phone service....ST would give me 2.5 gb of high speed data + unlimited data/text for 45 bucks a month (a big difference in money)....once you use up the 2.5 gb of data it switches to using 2g data for data....when you use all your data with gophone, you have to buy another 1gb data package (10 bucks)...I dont have wifi....
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
You may wanna be concise in your description of issues. Too much unrelated stuff mixed in, my eyes are losing track

Try this:

MMSC: http://mms-tf.net

MMS PROXY: mms3.tracfone.com

MMS PORT: 80

MMS:80

Authentication type: PAP

APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri

Also you may need to call straight talk to activate the sims
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jxcorex28:
yeah that apn was already included, I selected it. I went back to the mobile settings menu and selected LTE as preferred than pressed the back button. I went back to mobile settings and it was on 3g...No bars, ...I guess I do need to call ST just to activate the card...the pack my mother got contains onlye 1 service pin card but comes with 4 different sim cards (all with different serial numbers)...I really thought Id be able to stick the sim card in my phone and it show me if I actually get 4g LTE service on this phone thru ST...I didnt want to pay the 45 or 60 bucks for a plan for it to not work than have to pay an additional 60 bucks for ATT go phone service. When ST did not work...I did check the compatibility thru the straight talk website. It did say the phone was compatible with the e970. If you have a 4g LTE phone, wouldnt you want 4g LTE and not just 3g or HSPA+
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
I'm on straight talk too. You get att 4g lte with straight talk on this phone

This isn't a shared plan, you and you mom can't both use one 45 dollars plan. If your mom use a dumb phone she can use the All You Need plan through straight talk, which is even cheaper than this.

Also don't get too excited, the 4g lte you get through straight talk isn't gonna be as fast as att customers.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jxcorex28:
Im not sure Ive ever heard that before, but thanks for the heads up...I guess Ill stick with att go phone. So why did you choose straight talk and not att go phone ? the only reason I was thinking about getting ST was b/c of the 2.5 gb's of data given to the 45/60 buck plan and the fact that you still have data when you've used up the 2.5 gig's...With att go phone, you get 2 gb's with the 60 dollar plan...You have a choice of buying an additional 1gb package of 10 dollars...So say tommorrow when I get paid...Ill end up having 4 gb's of data...but all of that data is a constant speed, there is no cap on speed....I watch what I download, dont usually download anything over 10mb's when using data....Ive watched porn a few times (streams) but im not sure how much data is used to stream a short clip or a continuous stream....I know FB is a huge data hog, so I try to limit my time on FB...There is wifi around my neighborhood but I only use it when Im downloading roms
[AT&T LG Optimus G] optimusv45:
I had go phone long time ago. It was expensive so got rid of it for virgin mobile. Their beyond talk plan is 35, 300 minutes was not enough anymore, also tired of cdma phone so switched to ST. With ST you still get 2.5 gbs of data and unlimited 2g data after 2.5 is exhausted. The saving is what's real, man. Looks like you also work, so I'm sure you understand this. Prepare myself for an hour on the phone with ST retards if your switching your # over too

I stuck with at&t gophone....might do the switch later down the road..no idea, start college in may...do minds focused on that and everything
[AT&T LG Optimus G] emepher:
It is here. I compared my ST speeds to two coworkers AT&T LTE phones last month. (Yeah, we're reeeeaaal productive some days.) Using the same servers, my speeds were nearly identical to one S4 and we were both a hair faster than a Samsung Note (3?) that we borrowed for the test.

All three were much faster than I was getting with a T-mo SIM for Simple Mobile, whether on LTE or or not. I'm leary of anything at Walmart, and I did have issues signing up and porting my number, but I've been happy with my three months on ST, especially after seeing more consistent coverage when travelling. I was mostly happy with T-Mo's network before I had an LTE-capable phone, but I'll stick to ST/AT&T.
