[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
Hi, I'm planning to buy a second hand lg g2 32 gb d802 international edition. I have the following questions:

1) Is it possible to root LG G2 32 GB D802 International edition (currently running android 4.4.2 stock official) and then regain warranty completely i.e. removing "ROOTED" from download mode and getting "UNROOTED" in download mode?

2) Any tips which you would like to give me before accepting the second hand phone? As in, checking download mode, checking status says unrooted in system settings etc.

I recently installed SOKP on my phone and all was fine till today when the media sounds were disabled and I can't enable them via the Sounds setting. Things were working fine till I installed Omni on dual-boot with Googy Max kernel. Is that the reason? If yes, how can I get the media sounds back without losing dual boot.

Thanks in advance.

Hello guys,

After reading lot of reviews I have changed my mind from buying Htc 816 to gionee mobiles. Around my budget and requirement I found gionee e7 mini a best suitable for me.

What I need to ask is about it's 1gb RAM. According to me it should be enough. I am not a hard core gamer. Infact my current phone don't have enough memory to run any of most games so I have been away from gaming since last couple of years. What I mostly use it for surfing, calling, watsapp,etc.

So is e 7 mini sufficient for these activities?

Also what is overall feedback about Gionee as a so called "Chinese" company. When Micromax's Canvas series was out, I read lot of god reviews but after few months it was turn table. So I don't want to regret by going after a Chinese brand. Your suggestions are more valuable!
[GiONEE Elife E7] adwaitk007:
Finally my baby is in my hands now!!! Took a long while to make this decision and Just hope it will not disappoint me!!

1st impression: wow! whatta master piece!! Looks a lot premium and once can hardly guess it's a Chinese mobile. I guess they are redefining the "Chinese mobile tag".

Most impressive thing to mention, they have service centers in almost each district on Maharashtra and I never expected this! Just fingers crossed and I will update my experience on this thread with my elife e7 mini
[GiONEE Elife E7] Ravikirancg:
if you are into flashing custom roms or want updates, dont expect any. good luck.
[GiONEE Elife E7] Indian Devil:
Updates for S5.5 is coming later this month or early next month, so to say don't expect updates is not correct.
[GiONEE Elife E7] Ravikirancg:
They have been coming for 3 months now.. It's almost time for the next Android version and we are still stuck on a version 2 and a half years old..

Not to mention all the custom roms and kernels that we have.. Thanks to them releasing the kernel sources..

Moreover they just released 4.3 for the lte version of e7 now. When they promised 4.4..

Sent from my E7
[GiONEE Elife E7] GTARaja:
thanks to them releasing kernel sources?? they released kernel sources?? btw any sucess of flashing the 4.3 on the e7
[GiONEE Elife E7] Indian Devil:
OK. I wasn't aware of the updates or promised updates for E7 but I have heard from a very reliable source that update for 5.5 is coming on 27th. He gave me a very specific date but I still take 2 weeks plus/minus.
[GiONEE Elife E7] Ravikirancg:
You gotta start understanding sarcasm mate! :p

And no.. It was quite useless.. It has the msm8974pro.. I don't think we can use it.. It did boot up once though.. But nothing much was working.. Extremely laggy. Probably it was clocked at 2.5GHz.. Not sure.. Needs more work nonetheless..

Eh! Nevermind.. Updates are good no matter what.. Then again any idea e7? I have never come across any news for its update..

Sent from my E7
[GiONEE Elife E7] GTARaja:
hehe...btw what abt cm..did u started??....im still downloading sources:eek:

Weather App and Messaging App

Hi ,I have updated my e7 mini to kitkat too..But the weather app doesn't update the temp for me.

Also sometimes I receive a message and when I open it from notification it's gone.

I also feel the battery back up has decreased a bit after kitkat update.Have u faced any of the issues.

It's surprising for such a great phone there are almost no users/developers on xda

Thanks

[GiONEE Elife E7] adwaitk007:
Hi,

Have you checked weather app settings? There is an option you need to turn on called "automatic update". it's working fine with me.

Also I have noticed improved battery backup. I am not sure what is wrong with your device.

Well yes, I too have the notification bug. It shows "unread count" even if there are no new unread SMSs. I asked to their service center and they said it's "operator's issue. not ours" lolz! dumbass!!

Anyways I am working on a custom ROM and soon it will be available here. ;)
[GiONEE Elife E7] koolsk:
Yea I turned on the automatic update..Now it's updating.But compared to other weather apps it really shows different temp..Anyway it doesn't matter..I think for a few days my battery drain was kinda unpredictable or sometimes it would come down rapily all of a sudden..But now I think it's way better :)..No compaints there...lol@operator issue..It's definitely a bug.Even Gionee India tweeted they were aware of this issue..It's a great phone.Really sad to see almost no developers on XDA...At least we have you :D..Also are you able to root after Kitkat update?
[GiONEE Elife E7] adwaitk007:
Hi,

I found a temporary solution for the message bug.

1.Go to settings>> apps

2.Roll over to "All apps" tab

3.Find Novi launcher>> clear data

4.Find messaging app>> clear data

5.Reboot your device.

##########Caution ##########

By clearing the data of Novi launcher, all folders you have created will be gone and you will see all of your apps scattered. So you have to take the pain to re categories them.

By clearing data of messaging app, all settings will be restored. You have to again customize them according to you.

###########################

Though this is not a permanent solution, still you can get rid off that irritating message count notification.

Regards,

Adwait

Gionee E7 Mini battery issue after kitkat update

Hello Everyone,

Im having a Gionee E7 Mini and everything was ok before the kitkat update. After the update a considerable amount of RAM was free and device became much more smooth to operate.

BUG WITH KITKAT for Gionee E7 mini

Hi,

The issue of unread message is not "operator's issue" rather issue with the "KitKat" version of OS for Gionee E7 mini. The version of OS have a bug which hides some messages which in turn remains unread. The solution I found to get those message is backing up of Inbox and restoring (option available in Message).

Also there is a bug with this version of OS i.e. the battery gets 100% charged in 10-15 min and drains out in next 1/2 day.

The permanent solution I found to his issue was to revert the OS version to previous version.

This can be done through SERVICE CENTER or though the same method as upgrade with ROM and Flash Tool.

use rootgenius to rooting on kitkat and philz touch for recovery (files attachment below)

Rooting step:

1. download Philz Touch

2. extract and put recovery.img into root/sdcard

3. install rootgenius (data connection is needed, so use wifi or mobile data)

4. open rootgenius app; you will find two box in chinese language, tap on right box

5. tap the green box

6. wait until done, if it done the green robot will cry

7. tap back and tap green box once again, wait until done

8. reboot your device

9. to make recovery, install mobileuncle from playstore

10. open the mobileuncle app, go to recovery update and choose recovery.img from your sd card

11. reboot to recovery mode, if philz touch is working, it's done.

12. reboot system

13. done.

i hope this steps will help you to rooting your device :D

Its a Lollipop themed rom build on 4.4.2 sorry for the confusion .....Have exchanged e7mini for Mi4i and it is super advance phone and cheaper then E7mini
[GiONEE Elife E7] Flyagaric:
No ti's not - the price is actually incomaprable. Mini costs around 90-100$ now, while Mi4i way around 200$.

BTW. Would never changed my regular bigger E7 for Mi4i. And the smaller brother E7 Mini is for my daughter.

I doubt I can get a better phone for 90$ for her, even though it only has 1GB RAM. I am not crazy enough to spend over 200$ on my daughter's phone.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NerdyNoob:
Here's the deal: I bought a Nexus 7 on September 2013 and got another one on the 26th May. A day later, rumors that the Nexus 8 is going to be released on 25th June.

Should I get rid of the my Nexus 7 and wait for the 8 or continue using the 7?

Thoughts on the rumored nexus 8 with a 64bit processor and Android 4.5?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Rahul721:
If you want to sell it I think now would be the time since when the Nexus 8 releases you wont be able to sell it for as much. Google always improves the next gen of their devices by a lot. Also I'm guessing that Android 4.5 will be the first android to fully support 64 bit

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] brett_day:
I just purchased my Nexus 7 the other day knowing full well that the Google I/O was right around the corner. Knowing the Nexus 8 is right around the corner did not bother me.

Here's the deal with new hardware.....especially new devices with new technology....they fail, a lot, and until Google/Asus/whoever makes the device get all the kinks worked out I would stay away. First batches of new products always have issues.

Look at what you use your tablet for now? Does it do everything you need it to do? Does it do those things well? For me browsing the web, streaming from my Plex Media server, listening to music, playing the occasional game, and using the tablet in my car are all handled perfectly by the N7, no extra power needed for that :) The N7 will be able to keep up with most tablets and will be able to run almost every app for a long while yet :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] downwiththebanksters:
I agree, my 2013 was a big improvement in every way from my 2012, but even with an 801 anything the new one brings to the table can only be an incremental upgrade. If it is an HTC boom sound-like array it might sway me, but I'm really happy. They say it will no longer be bargain basement pricing too, which was/is nice.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] masri1987:
exactly, unless it's a huge upgrade in terms of specs and design, it will just be another baby step

I think this is the most posted comparison question ever ... ever ...

This thread exists like 200 times here already...

And bumping S4 with G2 , when there is G3 out? Thats not a real bump...

I would understand if you had S2, or maybe even S3, but this is a small bump for big hassle to G2...

Either go with G3 or wait for something better?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maritus1:
Since when do you not loose you're warranty after rooting your Lg G2?

Why should it be any different compared to a Samsung Galaxy S4?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenix96:
The diffence is following:

root s4 = knox warranty bit in bootloader will be setted to 0x1 and you cant set it to 0x0 so they can always proof that you rooted....

root g2 = i dont know on g2 of such security where you can proof that phone was rooted

If i get tomorow the chance to get a brand new g2 32gb for 380€ then i am soon a g2 user too cause i cant wait for OnePlus One invite... waited 1month now.... and after saw the g3 announcement there is no huge difference to g2 so why pay 200bucks more :)

Cheers
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
Thank you xenix96 for answering that. That's exactly what my reply would have been. Samsung has too many security mechanisms and LG doesn't. So, that's one of the reasons I wanted to switch.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
LG G2 is awesome.

Easy to mod, hack, Xposed. This is the first phone I've EVER used where the Stock Rom experience is amazing. Since the Nexus One, I've always ran CM or AOKP. But now I just Root and run Xposed for a few Center Clock, Icon, Battery tweaks.

Honestly out of the S5, M8, and Z2, the G2 is a perfect combination of screen, physical size, battery, features.

That said, the G3 will be out soon that has a slightly bumped up CPU (same CPU just revised [800vs801]) and a slightly larger screen (5.5 vs 5.2) and a higher resolution. Sounds nice on paper but the larger screen and increased resolution and slightly overclocked CPU will only dampen battery life, which is where the G2 is king of the world.

The G2 with a 1080 screen and a pixel DPI of 480, the screen is just fine. I'd rather have the additional battery life.

I didn't like the s5 the m8 was to tall and camera was poor to me the z2 well let's just say I had the z1s and didn't like all the bezzles nor the fact there still on 4.3 on the z1s.

Correction: LG G2 has 423 dpi.

Anyways, I totally agree, anything beyond 1080p is not required. Even the difference between 720p and 1080p isn't noticeable during normal/daily usage. Battery life is something which is much more important.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
I know, right? Battery life is simply superb. Around 4 hours of screen on time, with 1 hour of voice calls and still 50% battery remaining. My previous phone, Samsung Galaxy S4, would have completely drained out by now.

Awesome, I got mine yesterday!! :) And I'm just loving it.

That doesn't mean there is no rootchecker at the bootloader. There is, but it's not as persistent as Samsung's KNOX and it can be reset by flashing a stock ROM.

I actually exchanged my Galaxy S4 with some guy I met on OLX(you might have heard of it). So, it's kind of second hand. It's 32GB variant and colour is black. Brand new is available on Amazon.in for around Rs. 35000.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saurabh_goyal93:
Yeah, exactly! Currently, there's no way to beat Samsung KNOX on Android 4.4 KitKat ROMs. Just because of KNOX, I'm never going to buy a Samsung Device again. I just cannot live without rooting. Changing the dpi of the phone is very important to me.
