[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbG33K:
After messing up my Email app, and resorting to flashing the Stock ROM and now reinstalling all of my apps and games again, I'd really like to create a Backup ROM for myself, should things mess up again down the road.

How do I go about making a complete Backup for my G3? I think I'd prefer it be a full ROM backup, so I don't have to reconfigure anything at. Keeping my settings, contacts, games (saves), ringtones, notification setting, etc.

What's the best way to go about doing this?

Thanks in advance.

but no custom recovery has been written yet

This makes sense if there's a custom recovery environment available, but my Korean F400L has none yet. I want to install the Xposed framework, however the forums say it's wise to have a Nandroid backup first. Am I stuck in a waiting game until CWM exists for my model G3? Or are the many folks using G3 tweaksbox doing so without a Nandroid?

or with Titanium backup: backup all system apps and user data

if softbrick, factory reset phone, then restore from Titanium after re-rooting?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alqoshi4life:
My phone (Sprint variant) doesn't have an unlocked bootloader yet so I can't make a nandroid either. But I'm comfortable with using Xposed and have a few mods installed, including Tweaksbox. As long as you don't make font changes or change boot animations, you should be fine. Tweaksbox is pretty straightforward and I haven't had any problems with it.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chorba69:
Hello everyone!

I've been searching the internet for opinions, watched lots of videos about lg g2 but I'd still like to ask y'all guys about this phone because I may root lg g2 if I buy it and flash cm11 because I'm a big fan of that rom.

What I wanted to ask is; Is this phone really so great? It seems really fast, has good camera, great batery life etc.

Second, is it worth flashing cm11 over stock kitkat rom? Are there any big differences in performance etc?

Third, is there any better "all-around" phone than this one? I mean, I'd buy this phone for about 230€ in eBay and I'd like to know is there anything better than lg g2 for that price?

Next, are there any knows problems with g2? For example, heating too fast, freezes, buttons not working or something similar?

And the last question; Is it possible to make qslide feature compatible with all apps? I mean, I'd be using Chrome and Whatsapp mostly, and maybe Youtube sometimes but I've read not all apps are compatible with qslide.

Big thanks

Cyanogenmod is not good on the g2 all cyanogenmods fault but we do have a few aosp Roms and there good I'm running a ROM called Mahdi ROM it runs great very little bugs

sent from my T-Mobile LG-VS980
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prowsterz:
1) It is a great phone (fast, good camera, very good battery life, excellent screen etc).

2) The stock KitKat ROM has advantages over CM11 such as QSlide. Honestly, I think it would be better to flash the Cloudy G3 ROM which is a port of the LG G3 ROM over to the G2.

3) For this price, there is nothing better. You could go on websites such as buysku.com and get a chinese phone but I would not recommend it. Also, you still would not find a phone better than the G2 on there. This is better than the Samsung Galaxy S4. You found it for 230 euros. That seems way too cheap unless it is second hand. Remember, you will want to right variant for your country. If you are in the UK for example (and other countries), you will want the D802.

4) There are not any major problems I have come across. The only negatives would be that the speakers are not very loud. It does heat up but only after a long time of heavy use and that is the same with lots of phone such as the Nexus 5.

5) No you cannot use QSlide with other apps. However, if you flash the G3 ROM (it is a fairly simple process), you can have Split view which allows you to have 2 apps open side by side. These apps can by any apps of your choice e.g. Whatsapp, Youtube, Games.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chorba69:
Exactly what I wanted! Big thanks mate!

I was few hours ago in one of the phone shops and spent some time with G3 and wanted to ask about the split view and you answered my question already hehe. Thanks

I live in Germany. Should I get D802 version?

And abour the G3 rom, is it as smooth as stock rom?

Also, to flash it I have to root with ioroots and flash custom recovery? Could you please give me a link with guide for both?

And, is there a big chance of bricking the lg g2 when I do that?

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prowsterz:
Yes you will need the D802 (probably 32GB too).

The G3 ROM is smooth with no lag or bugs. It is the stock rom from the G3 so still has the LG features.

You need to root it with ioroot then flash twrp recovery. Then flash the Cloudy G3 1.2 ROM or the Optimus G3 ROM. You also need to flash the kitkat baseband zip. I use the optimus g3 rom by the way.

The chance of bricking is very small. Make a nandroid backup in the custom recovery so if you do brick it, you can go back.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .NetRolller 3D:
T999 is a completely different device from the I930x line, based on a dual-core Qualcomm SoC (instead of the quad-core Exynos found in the international models). Go to the US/Canadian Galaxy S3 forum for support.

IIRC the T999 is lacking support for some or all European 3G bands, which is why you are not seeing a 3G signal with it.

Hi,

I am upgrading from an iPaq hx4700 to a tytn, and am wondering if it is possible to get RS-232 serial data out of the mini usb cable. I have installed a serial GPS reciever into my car and it would be nice just to use a single cable to plug into the bottom of the tytn as I do with my iPaq.

With Regards,

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Drifter:
Unfortunately the TyTn has no external Com port as the Hx4700 has.

The mini usb section only supports usb and nothing else.

Except for the extra audio connections but that has nothing to do with the usb connection itself.

Phone Spc code options....???:cool:

OKAY.....so Ive spent days, and hours trying to unlock my sprint samsung galaxy s4 L720PUBNC6 BUILD/ android 4.4.2 to use for straight talk. I had an S3 and pretty much have all US S3 variants mastered. I was able to get in to service mode by dialing *#0011#. I pressed back, key input"Q", and key input "000000" waited about 15 seconds. I used the instructions from this post to change the settings, but nothing happened. I used several others post from various forums to try, and get the MSL/SPC code. MSL reader, and get my MSL apps did not work. regionlock away did not work, and neither did SAMIOTA hidden menu app. If you download MSL utility.apk it will give you your SPC code. The question now is what options to change? I still get the invalid sim message, and so far no service. I did get a breakthrough of sorts....my phone tried to set up on ZACT Mobile. which is apparently sprints version of a prepaid network. If someone can help figure out the options needed then we can master this device, and move on to the S5.

If you changed the original IMEI that's exactly why you are experiencing problems.

Anything but the original one assigned to the device will most likely cause problems. Even if its from another device that's the same model.
[HTC Desire S] htcfixme:
Hi,

hoping someone can give some advice as I'm running out of ideas. Essentially what happens is that my Desire S powers off whilst I am using it, mostly whilst I am navigating through the phone or using any kind of App (not always immediately, but always after a few minutes). I can power it up again afterwards but it will not boot up all the way & instead powers off again. However, if I connect it to a power source it will power up all the way again and it also doesn't power off whilst I use it and it is connected to a cable power source. So far I have:

- Bought a new battery

- Placed folded paper on battery

- Done a Factory reset (everything is stock, phone hasn't been rooted)

Through all of this the problem has continued. Another weird thing that has been happening whilst all this is going on is that the phone seems to have issues keeping the date & time synced. It sets the date to some day in 1980 & time is also incorrect. I have to manually set the date & time as it doesn't correct itself over time.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] kapster:
I bought this headset and so far its been good for the price. It was like 25 shipped on ebay. Only gripe is that it can only do volume on the headset, no back/forward.

It works and sounds fine on my 8125, however I do hear slight crackling throughout songs. Im sure i could help it with some tweaking.

But my real problem is that it doesnt seem to work with my dongle. So im calling out anyone who has a pc850 and a stereo headset. What do you use to connect through bluetooth, "Audio Gateway" or "Audio Headset". My jensens only allow me to use audio headset. When I connect I start to hear static on the jensens but thats it, no audio is passed, even though the status shows good signal. 0 bytes are transfered and received.

However, when I connect in headset mode, I do get the prompt that a high quality audio connection has been found, and the message "the next time an audio player is opened, audio output will be sent to bluetooth. So its quite confusing. First I dont know which connection to use, then I can only use one, 'audio headset'. then it seems it works, then I get no output.

Looking at a review of the ht820, i think the reviewer used Audio Gateway, which is why im asking.

to test i have been using windows media player 11 and some mp3s, wavs, avis. also are you suppose to hear audio through your speakers once the headset is connected? because I do and i thought that was odd.

Just to throw this out there too, one, and i mean ONE time i tried to connect, It was actually sending information, but it was the ring you get when someone is calling on the headset. also I could see info being transfered from pc to headset through the status page.

Also to note the dongle works fine with activesync and the 8125. which is great because it would be useless at this point if that didnt work.
