[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] INSINFO:
My former T-mobile Phone edition was unlocked with a code provided by T-mobile. It seemed to work. I placed a foriegn card in and the phone asked for th unlocking code and it was accepted. For fun, I bought a cingular sim chip, but the phone (although sometimes does pick up the networks), it say's "no service". Do I have to reflash the radio to something more generic? I am going to Canada then Europe, I'd like this to work while away with prepaid GSM cards....I appreciate any help. Thanks, Phil
[General Marketing & SEO] andretti1977:
Hi everybody, i would like to validate an idea which is not a mobile app but a service that could help mobile developers in promoting their apps...or at least i think it could!

So, this is the idea: i would like to create a promocodes service.

It would allow mobile apps (but even web apps) to call the service to verify promocodes validity so that developers can easily integrate the service within their apps, and have a gui to create and manage all the promocodes (with analytics about usage). I think this should help developers promoting their apps: dev could give promocodes away to blog reviewers or as a sort of bonus for another app or for other services to users.

I'm honestly asking your opinion about this idea and would like to know what do you think about it. I would be very gratefull to hear anybody's opinion, so please, post a reply and give me feedbacks!

Thanks in advance.
[General Marketing & SEO] andretti1977:
Just to clarify: my idea is about a webapp which allows to create/generate custom promocodes, not to use the ones that is possible to require to Google for paid apps. I think this could be a useful service for developers.

As an example, you can create a free app where features and functionalities are unlocked using promocodes (suppose permanently using specific promocodes that you give to a blog reviewer for example so he can have a full app at no cost, or just temporary unlocked as a trial period for common users). When the user decide to buy the paid-version of the app, he can still buy the paid-version from the PlayStore or permanently unlock the free version, directly from the app using IAP apis.

I think that it could help engage more users, also in games apps where user buys virtual goods, because you could post special promocodes on blogs or somewhere else, to give them free goods so to let them be interested in having a look at your blog or somewhere else where you can drive a different way to promote your apps (tips and tricks, promote other apps and so on...).

Do you think it could be a useful service? Would you use it?

Please, leave me a feedback, even a short one but i'd really like to see what people thinks about it.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I know that the ads are important to developers to finance his projects. But sometimes are very annoying, covering a high percentage of the screen, and appearing one time and another recurrently making the experience of the app very bad. In that cases are anything that cant remove the intrusive ads? I try Lucky Patcher and the discontinued module of framework exposed but didn't work with expansible banners.

In that link you can find an example of apk that i'm talking about simplysmartapps.net/apks/Free%20Soccer%20Streaming.apk Thanks for youre answers

I have now owned the G2 for only 2 weeks and it has been out for nearly 7 months. I have never been more excited about a phone since owning a Note 2...

I have owned 5 devices (Note 2, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Moto G, Optimus G, Galaxy Nexus - in no particular order.) in the past year and none of them have ever gave me the wow factor that the G2 has given. I believe I will own the G2 until it be breaks...

With this year's release of new flagship devices, do you find yourself wanting to upgrade?

The point of this thread is to ask you guys, "do you always upgrade to the next best thing, or do you use your device til it breaks.?"

This is the first time I have felt that a device will suffice for the next few years...

I really haven't been this amazed by a phone that's for sure...Just like you I have owed many phones this one has impressed me in every category.I believe I will keep or try to at least for 2 years.
[G2 General] noob999:
I usually keep my smartphone for at least 2 years because that's the time you're usually bound to your carriers contract over here in germany, after that you can get discounts on new phones if you prolong your contract

I wouldn't exactly say i'm a smartphone nerd although i like to play with custom roms and stuff but i was really excited to get the G2.

I had the old galaxy S Plus before the G2 and of course that's a huge difference. But the only thing i really needed the G2 for was the better camera and gaming performance, for everything else the S Plus with CM 10.2 was good enough for me and my wife is still using it.

I guess i'll keep the G2 for at least 2 years because i can hardly find anything i don't like about it except no sd slot and no changeable battery but i don't really need that since i got the 32 GB version and the battery life is good (if you don't play game a lot that is).

[G2 General] robin786:
I'm satisfied with G2 too. Maybe the 1st device I didn't try to root & install custom rom the moment I bought it. I used to be attached to Samsung phones so G2 is the 1st break for me. Well, I'm glad I made the break!

About not changing the phone, well that depends on how LG rolls out updates in future. I might just get fed up & change to other brand if support for update is scarce like now.

Sent from my LG-D802
[G2 General] AlwaysLimey:
Tbh the G2 is still the best phone on the market, including the HTC M8 and SGS5. There really is no reason to change unless you simply want to. Nothing that has come out this year is worth any out of pocket expense. Perhaps when the Note 4 is released this fall, then maybe.. if you like Samsung. Even then, I think we have reached a temporary lull in smartphones where anything new is a very, very slight improvement. I wouldn't switch until something blows me away, and nothing so far has.
[G2 General] force70:
As crazy as this may sound to some I honestly dont know how anyone can

A) have only one device at a time

B) hang onto to it without at least upgrading to something else after some time.

I bought 5 devices in 2013 all of them outright...still have 3 of them (G2, Note 3, S4)..and so far this year these have my attention:

G3

G flex (if it had sd card support id have it already)

G pro 2

Z2

and thats so far and its not even april yet lol..probably end up with 3 or more new ones this year even though I had wanted to slow down a bit...but whats a guy to do lol?

Theres guys who go through alot more devices than me around here though...u know who you are!

[G2 General] Azurael:
Just got a G2 today. Since I immediately installed SlimKat on it, it's pretty much identical to the Nexus 4 its replacing but with a bigger screen and better camera. Progress marches on. Before that I had a One X running AOKP and before that a Motorola Atrix running CM10. As Android gets better, the hardware it's running on seems to matter less and less with each new phone for me... The G2 is nice though. Battery life and the contrastier LCD really swung it for me vs. the Nexus 5. The only thing I don't like is that it looks sorta Samsung-ish... And I have an irrational hatred of Samsung.
[G2 General] rkennison:
I got the G2 a few weeks ago because I dropped my S4 and the screen shattered. I used my son's upgrade, so I can still get the G3 in a few months ;) I'll give him the G2 when it does.
[G2 General] Chris_n00bz:
Neither S5 nor M8 is attractive enough for me to upgrade from my G2. The only regret I have, since I just bought it 3 weeks ago is how I missed the buzz of One Plus One. Had I known it earlier, I might will wait for its release before buying this monster. LG did well with this phone and I wonder why the demand for G2 is quite low. It's a well rounded device and cost me less than an S4 here in my country (we don't have carrier contracts here and purchase the phone outright).
[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
Perhaps if the new One had had a better camera, I might have been compelled to switch. But for now, I still think the G2 is the best phone available.

[G2 General] Henkiestyle:
I used to be a big fan of physical keyboards. Due to my large hands I could not get used to typing on a touchscreen without mistyping constantly. Unfortunately after the Desire Z there haven't really been any options to upgrade and it was just getting terribly slow and impossible to work with. After trying dozens of ROM's I decided to finally make the switch to touch only. Mainly cause the top of the line devices are touch only, and I figured if I'm going to upgrade I might as well get the best I can get at the moment.

Fortunately screens are getting bigger these days and I must say I am quite impressed with the G2. Compared to the Desire Z, this device is a breeze. So responsive and quick. And the larger screen helps me getting used to typing onscreen, in fact I might even be able to type faster now than I could with my physical keyboard.

That plus all the features this device offers makes me believe that I will stick with this until either it gets slow or MUCH better devices are available.

I went from Samsung Innov8, to HTC Desire Z, to this G2, and I've never been more content with a phone!
[G2 General] robogo1982:
The G2 is my first device I run fully stock (the Desire and Hero are not counted here for different reasons). I only have root (restoring apps and removing bloat) and I absolutely love it. I love the programmable IR, the camera is decent, ample storage (32 GB), great screen...

It's damn near close to a perfect phone for me :)

Guys I too have had a lot of phones over the years.... THE ONE being the best of the lot... I had flashed it with Venom's ViperOne... it got me addicted but I finally got bored with the phone (dont know why I get bored to early with everything) but I have used it for almost a year. Now I am looking forward to buy LG G3 but it wont come to my place before june (if it is launched in may), So I am planning to try out LG G2 (I thought m7 was the only best android out there but LG G2 too is). Now my question..... Which is the best custom rom for LG G2 I can install with the maximum tweaks similar to ViperOne. (hate AOSP roms).

Does the pim.vol file contain info on Notes or is there another database that might need to be rebuilt.

Huawei Mediapad stock ICS 4.0.3

Only real mod done Xposed Framework but no modules are active.

Any 3rd party app I try that uses the Google maps for it's map function won't show any maps in it.

Yet Google maps itself does. the Google is at version 6.6.

I know there's a newer version but when I update to that, when I try to open Google maps it shows a screen

that has a button "accept & continue". When I click it it shows a notification saying it can't connect to network yet everything else CAN connect to the network.

I don't really care whether the google maps works or not but I need it to work for where I do use it in the 3rd party apps.

Has anyone heard of this problem? Or has any kind of idea of what to do?

Just use "OSM" you ca download it using the F-Froid store. In my opinion google the maps ap is really crappy. OSM provides online + offline maps so you wont need a internet connection after downlaoding the maps you needs.
[General Questions and Answers] LunaEros:
The app I use the most that uses maps is Waze and that has it's own map system but I do like to use other apps that use the google map service.

How would that F-Droid help? It looks like it uses some other kind of system. The other apps I use look like they call the google service.

[General Questions and Answers] LunaEros:
Well I uninstalled the Xposed Framework and tested to see if that was what was doing it but it isn't.

So I put it back in.

[General Questions and Answers] LunaEros:
Ok LS.xD, I did a little more looking at FDroid and from what I've seen it looks like it's kind of a separate market for apps.

If I were to install it would I still be able to use Play store?

And if I install it and find tha open street maps will that replace the ggogle map api service for 3rd party apps?

If it does and I eventually find a fix for the google api and decide I'd rather go back to that will uninstalling it return control back to Google?
