LG should have mandated what can or can't be sold like Apple does. Apple doesn't blame anything on the carriers, they tell them what they are going to get and the carriers either fall in line or get left out. It works pretty good for them so far.
[G3 Accessories] droidkevlar:
LG doesnt sell 100+ million phones each yr for them to do this. Carriers put their rules in place and if the phone manufacturer wants to play, they have to agree.

Mixed Up Covers

i pm'd the cellphone-parts seller on e-bay, and she said that some of the 2 pin/NFC covers were accidentally mixed in with the 4 pin/wireless charging covers --- that's why some peoples' orders got screwed up. i have a white VZW cover arriving on Friday, and am assured it will be 4 pin. so, i guess we'll see.
[G3 Accessories] xgman:
same here tomorrow so yes we shall see.
[G3 Accessories] huskerkate:
shortly after i got the message explaining the mix up, and promising i would get a 4 pin cover, i got another message saying that "our warehouse has a stock error on the part you purchased; however, we should be able to receive the new shipment on this Friday. We will ship our your package immediately after the new shipment arrives." grrrr.... i'm tempted to cancel and just order this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rear-Cover-...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2592a1252c

[G3 Accessories] junkinmytrunk426:
jeebus theres some greedy people on ebay charging over $130 for this cover. lol
[G3 Accessories] xgman:
I think that is really a place holder listing. I think the same guy has it for $35.
[G3 Accessories] iazybandit:
Its a place holder. Sellers jack up the price rather than end listing and relist. By ending listing and relisting, it lowers the selling limit that is allowed. So by jacking up the price, it doesn't affect their limit.
[G3 Accessories] krazykevy:
I received my black wireless charging back yesterday and it works flawlessly. My G3 utilizes TMO's network and I have no issues using my Tylt wireless charger now that I have the correct charging back.

So this back wont work on my AT&T LG G3? Even though it says so in the listing?
[G3 Accessories] iazybandit:
None will work with AT&T regardless of who and where you buy from. They only work on Verizon, Tmo or Sprint. Even if it worked on AT&T, it would work on AT&T only. Not all. There is no wireless charging that can support both QI and PMA. It's one or the other.
[G3 Accessories] 08BlackWRX:
Damn ok... pretty lame AT&T
[G3 Accessories] iazybandit:
Only option for AT&T users is to go to AT&T, buy a $60 Quick Circle case, rip off your old NFC sticker on the battery cover, rip the sticker off the Quick Circle and place it onto your battery door. That is the only way right now to do it for AT&T users.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDarkLegend:
hello xda members and developers :)

i have a question in my mind ... is there any android L rom for our i9505 ???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shencez:
Okay let me run through a couple of scenarios so that we can understand the main issue here. I flashed my i9250 GNEX phone with the linaro OMNI Metal's new update.... with a broken volume up button manually through CWM. Upon rebooting, the phone shows the starting logo and then gets to the updates eventually ending up with the: 'Android is upgrading... Starting Apps' screen. It's stuck there and I do not know what to do next.

I went to the shop to try and fix the volume button but for some reason I could not get into the recovery by holding the vol up, vol down + pwr button. THEY MIGHT HAVE NOT FIXED IT, but then again... how we're they going to test it anyways when the phone can't even boot up right?

They told me to sideload adb and flash the original stock image using a micro usb (they have this microusb that gets the phone to the download screen) so get to the update/download screen -> but I do not have that USB that allows me to do that now...

Any ideas on how I can revive this phone?? It's really a good phone and though I have the Nexus 5 now.. I still think about the Galaxy Nexus a lot... =/

Please help me T_T

:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
I understand your frustration, this happened to me a couple months ago after doing a custom update. I don't remember the exact solution, but I have some solid ideas. First we have to get into recovery.

Hold volume up + volume down + power to do this. (Using one volume and power just goes to Odin download mode / last resort of last resorts)

When you're in recovery, do a nandroid backup since well be trying a bunch of stuff, permission fixing, formatting.

After a nandroid try:

-fix permissions through recovery

-wipe cache and dalvik cache through recovery

If those don't boot you, try wiping data (NOT sdcard). If this doesn't work the problem is what's installed to /system..and we'll go from here.

We need to get into recovery first and sequentially try the things I listed. Let me know if this is now possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shencez:
Sorry I forgot to mention that I can't boot into recovery using [vol up, down + pwr button] (sorry i didn't include vol down before) as my power up volume rocker is broken and not functioning. I just need to be able to get into recovery but not possible with the up rocker not functioning.

Is there any other way to get through to recovery by side loading? The phone can't get past the android is upgrading screen... so, I'm lost. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
OK that makes sense, sorry I must have missed that. Have you tried booting the phone in safe mode? To do this, turn the phone off, then hold power to turn it on. Once you see the Google logo press and hold "volume down" until the phone has fully booted. Once the phone is booted, you will see the "safe mode" logo and can stop holding "volume down." If one of your apps in /data is causing the boot issue, this will get you into Android.

I see in the first post that you don't have a USB cable to attach to a computer? If this is true, we won't be able to adb, fastboot, or Odin download to push a ROM to the phone. Most people have this cable since it also attaches to a usb wall charger. Without it, there's maybe one last sketchy thing we can try, which would be to take the phone apart and electrically short the volume buttons to get into recovery. Even though the volume button is broken, the connection is still definitely there. The button just doesn't work or is disconnected.

Let us know if the safe mode gets you booted and whether or not you have a USB cable to connect your phone to a computer. I just want to double check about the cable cause if you don't have it. Our last resort attempt would be to short the broken volume button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shencez:
Thanks for your reply once again, I tried what you said about holding the vol down button once I see the google logo. However, the animation screen just comes up and goes back to Android is upgrading... optimizing apps 1 of 1.. starting apps... then it stops there as usual.

The USB i was referring to was the USB dongle which is similar to the ones like the hdmi cable. I have the usb cable for connecting to pc and may have to try the adb way to resolve the issue. Any steps on what I could do at this point? I've never flashed via adb in this situation so I may need some guidance.

Once again, thanks for you help very much appreciated. :)

UPDATE: I tried ADB REBOOT RECOVERY and I ended up with this error message. Attached is the photo to see it. 'error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog n your device.'

Update II: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522401

This thread... I finally found what I need. a USB JIG. Where can I find these???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Sorry for the late reply, but glad you found a good thread link to this problem. I'm not sure what that guy means by USB jig, but I'm guessing he rigged up something to short out "volume down" when powering it on thereby getting to Odin mode. If you can get into Odin mode, by pressing "volume down" and "power", you won't need to do this. Let us know if you can get there. You'll see "Odin mode" in tiny red letters in the upper left corner.

Here's a good walkthrough (w/ mysid and yakju ICS images): http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/12...d-cf-root-insecure-kernels-step-by-step-guide

Maguro Odin Firmware Images:

takju: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/takju-jwr66v-factory-c2ef855e.tgz

yakju: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/yakju-jwr66v-factory-ad817ccc.tgz

(Here's another one in case: http://androidadvices.com/update-galaxy-nexus-official-ics-404-firmware-odin/2

..and also... http://www.theandroidsoul.com/update-galaxy-nexus-to-android-4-0-4-using-odindownload-mode)

Make sure you download and flash the right firmware image. International devices aka (maguro) use "yakju" and the USA ones like (toro,toroplus) use "mysid", I think "takju" is for engineer samples. By flashing this you'll temporarily downgrade back to 4.3, but then you can boot, download a new ROM. Forewarning, this will reformat the entire device but is probably the last reasonable option at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Update to original problem: 'System hangs at the end of boot sequence when it says "starting apps" or "finishing boot".'

I ran into this problem finally, again, and I'm pretty sure that what's causing it are incorrect/misconfigured permissions on the /data/data/* directories for each data app. This is likely caused by dirty flash upgrading or incorrectly fixing the permissions. TWRP "fix permissions" might cause this too or fix the problem, seems like a gamble each time, so use with caution as a last resort attempt to fix a non booting android with this problem.

The best thing to do is restore the /data partition from a previous back up point. There's no easy fix for this, but there is a script you can run to try and reset the permissions and fix the "end of boot hang" issue. It's similar to the one TWRP uses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shencez:
How do I use this? Sorry. I probably need some steps for this :|
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 7175:
Hi shencez, does your problem still persist with the boot hanging? If only you could get to adb, we could totally fix this.

Anyway, for anybody wanting to run this, here's generally what to do:

The script needs to be downloaded or pushed via adb to android:

> adb push "windows or Linux path to file" "path_to_android_directory"

(e.g.: adb push C:\fix_permissions /fix_permissions)

Then make sure it's executable with:

> busybox chmod +rx

/path_to_android_directory/fix_permissions

(e.g.: busybox chmod +rx /fix_permissions)

The script uses /sbin/sh, so make sure that exists or do:

> cp -a /system/bin/mksh /sbin/sh

Execution:

> /path_to_android_directory/fix_permissions

(e.g.: /fix_permissions)

You should get an output like this:

./fix_permissions.sh 2.04 started at 08-10-2014 13:01:04

./fix_permissions.sh 2.04 ended at 08-10-2014 13:01:04 (Runtime:0m0s)

Swype came installed on my phone, so it's all I really know as far as keyboards goes. It's always worked, but not sure what happened, but when I press the microphone it says "Unfortunately Swype has stopped working" and only option is to hit OK and it closes.

Any ideas what to do?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ariel7978@gmail.com:
When this happens to me, I navigate to Settings - Apps - All (scroll to the right) - find Swype. Scroll down and click clear data.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] yuppicide:
Thanks! That partially solved my problem. While the microphone button works now, clearing the data made Swype look totally different and I can't find a way to get it to look like it did. Is there a spot for themes or something somewhere? I would like it to appear as it did when I bought my phone.

There's a settings icon on the keyboard.. when I go in there it brings up "HTC Sense Input Settings". Maybe it's not using Swype? Not sure how to get it back on. If I go into Settings, Language & Keyboard, I can find Swype settings. It says it's using Classic theme.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ariel7978@gmail.com:
Go back to where you found that Swype was using classic theme and tap it. This will take you to where you can change your theme.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] yuppicide:
It's set as classic. I tried to change it to Silver then back to Classic no luck. The keyboard doesn't even look like any of the themes shown, so I'm guessing it's not using Swype. Not sure how to get it back.

Lemme reboot the phone and see what happens.

Not working.. it definitely is a different keyboard.. because I can't "swype" to type words.. just not sure how to get Swype to come back as default for everything.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ariel7978@gmail.com:
Ok..... Open up a text message and get to the point where your HTC keyboard Pops up. From there, swipe down from the top of your screen where it shows what applications you have running. You should see "Choose input method." Tap on that and you should be able to change input method to Swype.
