Sorry i'm sure this has been asked before but i just want to make sure i don't brick my phone.

Is there a root out for locked boot loader phones with a bootloader status = unlockable when i checked on my phone
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamsmth663:
yes there is a root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784900

bootloader unlock is only if you want to install a custom kernel

in your case you can unlock the bootloader if you want to run CM/ASOP.

if you want to stick stock absed roms, dont unlock boot loader use the easy root method in the link above.

Ello.

Can anyone tell me how to upload my phonebook from my XDA to my Parrot carkit.

There doesnt seem to be any way to send the whole phonebook to the kit...

TIA for any help
[General Accessories] Dave G:
it should do it automatically, but if it doesn't try using this

http://www.jetwaremobile.com/index.htm

it adds loads more functionality, I've got a HTC Wizard (which is an XDA Mini S) with a Parrot CK3100, without that extra bluetooth installed you cant see the battery strength or signal strenth on the car kit. You can also use it to specify which contacts get transferred over.

[General Accessories] MrNasty:
Ah thanks for that DaveG...

I've dloaded the trial version to see if it works for me...

TY
[General Accessories] Dave G:
it should work, and if you've a CK3100 I dont think theres a need to buy it after the trial. Its mentions it somewhere on the website. I've been using it for months and its never expired anyway
[General Accessories] MrNasty:
What an excellent program...

Thanks Dave for your advice....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] doodan:
Hello,

Recently updated Android to 4.1.2 from 4.0.4 and it now drains the battery about twice as fast.

Also features that I regularly used have been removed (stopwatch, shortcuts for mobile data and wifi).

I found this site had firmwares: sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=10

is that site legit?

Is it as simple as downloading the firmware from that site and flashing it with a utility?

Just worried about bricking etc...

Cheers!

doodan
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
No. You cannot downgrade once you've updated, you are stuck with 4.1.2

Ok, that sucks choad!

Thanks neo.ank!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dredd90:
Hello,

So I bought a G3 the day before yesterday and yesterday was my first day with it, and for that first day my phone had shutdown twice on its own. The first time was when my phone was lying on the bed and doing nothing, it had around 50% battery and was not hot or anything.

The second time was this night i don't know when, i have put my G3 on the charger and went to sleep i woke up and it had shutdown.

I didn't made factory reset when i got i from the box which i will when i come home from work and hopefully this will fix it, but does anyone have a problem like that? If is something serious i will be disappointed to return the phone.

p.s. My previous phone was galaxy s2 and had this king of problem only with custom roms and kernels, but i have not put anything on the G3 yet, except activating the developers options and had switched it to ART and the first time the phone had shutdown i thought that the art was the issue and switched it back to dalvik, the second time though was on dalvik.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkx:
I have the exact same problem. The past few days when I go to bed and wake up in the morning, the phone has shut itself off. I haven't rooted or installed any custom roms.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I would advise you both to take a factory reset, only install apps you need for a few days and see if the problem persists, if it doesn't install your apps back one by one as it may well be a particular app causing the reboots.

If you still get reboots after the reset and with no apps installed then you may have to take the phone back to swap it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dredd90:
Yes as I said in the first post the factory format and hard reset will be the first thing that will be done as soon I am at home. About the apps i have pretty much basic apps (facebook, messenger, soundcloud, etc) all from the market except smashhit of which i have the apk and installed from the internal memory.

Except those apps I have 2 mp3s and some wallpapers and nothing else, becouse when i got my phone it was late on the evening and i had no time to do anything else. So the phone is pretty much out off the box and I was verry frustrated when the secound shutdown happened, becouse i tought the first was from the ART runtime.

Anyway today I will have more time to spend on the phone and we will see what will happend.

p.s. The phone does not reboots, just shuts off.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Is it definitely off or is the phone just stuck on a black screen? It is quite common on some devices when something is not quite right for the kernel to be unable to wake the phone up, the phone is still technically on but stuck in deep sleep.

does holding the power button for 2 seconds turn it on? or do you have to hold it for say 7-8 seconds?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dredd90:
It is definetly shut down around 2 seconds(the normal time to hold the power button to turn on) it turns on and work perfectly and does not show anything suspicious in its behavior, it's super fast, not laggy and etc, may be a little high on ram consumptions but with this havy skin i think it is normal or could not be normal idk, the ram consumptions go from about 1,2GB the lowest i have seen to up to 2,3 the highes i have seen.

Anyway about the shut off think yes defenetly 100% sure it is off, it happend again a while ago and i thoght the same thing may be it si deep asleep even i had chacked the weather 10 min ago and call myself from a friends phone and the operator said that the phone is off or i am somewhere without network covarage.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mandrive:
i got same problem. it turn off it selft and black screen even battery still 70%. rmust remove the battery to restart again, ealy bad. huft
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
If you have to remove the battery to get it to restart then its not actually shut off, its just stuck in deep sleep! which is usually caused by a bad app.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dredd90:
Yes if you have to remove the battery the problem is different, i just have to push the power button and it boots right away after it have shuted off by its self........
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddioj:
i didnt have this issue with my 855. but i did a factory reset after i got the phone just for the hell of it

did you have any luck with the problem? I have the same issue, performed a factory reset and restored, hopefully it will fix too..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Winglet80:
Hi all!

I have and have had the same problem and think I've pinpointed the problem to Google Search but can't 100% confirm it yet. I didn't do a factory reset when I got the phone and it shutdown during the night. I did a factory reset, made sure it got enough time to update everything properly. Problem was gone and worked fine. HOWEVER, the phone kept asking me which home screen I prefer at random times when I hit the home button. With random I mean like 4+ times per day. I searched the net and found a threat saying that a guy with a G2 solved the problem by removing Google Search updates. So I decided to do just that and get the factory version back and the questions disappeared but guess what, the phone shut down the following night.

Any takers or might this just be random? Note that it was working fine for three days with the updated Google Search and shutdown the first night after the downgrade.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dredd90:
So I did hard reset and so far so good the phone had not shutted down itself, and I updated everything which need to be updated (mentioning this for the guy with the upper post). So far so good I will keep you in touch if something goes bad...

I suggest take it to your dealer and get it replaced asap. I've seen lots of returned phones(my job at XXXXXXX company ) with the same issue, and as long as the defect is reproducible the dealer will give you a new phone. If it's outa replacement period then they'll probably repair it.

I have owned my G3 for 14 days in that time it has shut down 8 times without warning, it also has an issue with reading the SD memory card.

I have taken about 200 pictures on the phone about half are now unreadable and refuse to open, despite being OK when first taken.

Great phone let down by poor support.

Desktop software not yet available.

Wireless charger not yet available

A few software issues

Shuts down without warning

Come on LG please sort these issues and the G3 is a winner !

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blame_vrs:
My first LG G3 had the same issue. I received it last week... After the first "switch-on" and restoring all my apps I inserted the SD card (phone was switched off).

After booting I saw that it couldn´t read most of the pictures, videos and mp3 files.. After putting the SD card back to my PC I realized that more than 400 pictures, a few videos, and some mp3´s have been destroyed! (I had no issues like this when the card was in my SGS3...)

The file extensions of the pics and vids were changed and the whole meta data was gone.

My first G3 had also the shut down issues.

Now I got a new LG G3, which can read all the stuff that remained.

Unfortunately I´m still not sure whether I have a phone with automatic switch off function again or not, because I received this replacement phone on Wednesday this week...

I have written to Lg Italy

Good Morning! My name is Andrea and considering the purchase of the new G3, like any good user and the prospective purchaser of a product, I did some research sull'Lg G3 D855 and although the net there are some good reviews on the G3, however, are worried about this inexplicable problem that many owners of the G3 are experiencing. As I think you already know, unfortunately I learned that the G3 D855 suffers from sudden shutdown or "hibernation" without the possibility of awakening, if not with the removal of the battery.

It will therefore be understood that, without a finding of Lg and a press on this issue, the problem encountered by many owners of the G3, keep away from purchasing those, like me, is in fact quite skeptical in buying a product that has this type of problem.

Add me to the list.

I got my G3 on the 27th June, I had it 5 days before it started randomly cutting out. I called o2 who said I had to factory reset and see if that cures it. After 5 days running it with nothing on it it cut out again. I called o2 back who said they'd send me an exchange which I just got on Thursday 10th July. I've used it as much as possible to try make it cut out and tonight while listening to music I double tapped the screen to unlock and the music stopped and a black screen.

The only way to get it to turn on is to leave the battery out for a while or plug the charger in. Either way I'm not happy with this phone, I never had a problem with my old nexus 4 which I used for 18 months.
