[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dud3me:
The title is a bit misleading: I'm getting the phone for my brother. I placed an order today cos he's avid on getting the find 7. However, since he probably won't root it I feel that Lg G 3 would be the better choice. I mean he only knows about the Find 7 because of me.

He really likes to play games with high spec requirements (modern combat etc.) and wants to get the best specs for that reason. He would only be able to get the 16gb version of G3 with less ram and he'd need to get the phone on a contract for it to be in his price range. The contract isn't really an issue, though.

I'd personally get the G3 just because it's a lot better size, but he really seems to want that 3gb of ram and it's his money... How much memory does the 16gb version have reserved for apps btw? Does it have unified storage?

I'll probably cancel the Find 7 order tomorrow just cause I know he probably won't root it and it's a lot easier to get the G3 then to order FInd 7.

I hope you guys can give some insight to this phone and how it has been for you. And even give straight up advice my brother. :)

PS I know these threads are annoying, but he's been saving up long time for the phone and I don't want him to make a mistake.

Edit: Meant to post this on the Q&A section!!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chacho_2me:
well..for my side...i would go for LG G3..i trust LG...so choose LG G3 if you have some spare extra cash..otherwise...go oppo...still LG G3 for me is the best choice.. especially you would install the xcam mod...WOW..simply wow!!!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidInsanity:
Xcam mod? Thought That was just for g2?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaliKot:
Well having worked at Oppo, (although we only carry the 7a here) and choosing to go for the G3 afterwards, I can say that the main feature you want from the Find 7 would be the VOOC super fast charging. It charges from 0-full in roughly an hour while the G3 has to charge for like 2 1/2 hours or so.

Other than that, I feel that the aesthetics and size definitely go to the G3 as well as the camera. Its a toss up between the screen and sound quality.

Another thing is that the Find 7's colorOS firmware only comes with Jellybean while the G3 already comes with Kitkat.

What's really great about colorOS are the screen off gestures which you can assign to launch apps, the camera, play music and adjust the volume without even opening your phone as well as the gesture panel which you can assign to do the same as well while you're using the phone

I wish the G3 had those features too sometimes but it has alot of strong points with its stock firmware too
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chapruk:
IMO G3 is not good for high end games.. i get a lot force close when playing heavy games that run smoothly on my previous nexus 5..

i dont know about find 7.. but for now G3 software is bad.. i hope xda developer can unlock the bootloader and make a good custom ROM.. so i dont waste my money on this bautiful phone..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jph8tr:
What "heavy games" are force closing? I've had the G3 for several weeks and have yet to see one force close.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chapruk:
im using D855(10j) playing brave frontier with all effect on and it getting force close almost everytime..
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lossah:
There should be an app that allows you to change volume while device is sleeping tbh. Or? Sounds possible to me, but maybe not. :p
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
The G3 is underpowered for a QHD. You'll notice it in games and intensive CPU/GPU applications.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jph8tr:
Good news/bad news. The good? The game ran flawlessly on my G3 without any force close, though it's not my cup of tea. Bad? You may have some other issue with your phone. Possibly something you've installed is interacting with the game(s)? Are you using ART, it's still beta and can have issues with some apps? I didn't have any issues running it, but switched back to Dalvik after rooting because xposed doesn't play with ART. There are differences in our G3's , I have 3gb/32gb and we have different radio frequencies but that shouldn't make a difference here. In my experience, custom roms/kernels add function, speed and battery life but more often than not at the cost of stability. Waiting for a custom rom to fix your stability issue might not be the best strategy. Good luck squashing your bug!!!

On line reviews have shown that frame rate can be affected slightly with some games, but I've yet to use an app or game where this was noticeable in real world use and most of those same on line reviews have stated the same. Every game I've played has run fine and looked good...every one! QHD may have an impact, but "underpowered" is a bit of a stretch.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
I was a bit "over the top" with "underpowered". I would say the 801 is at its upper limits in rendering all the pixels. The screen is also using a lot of power and creating more heat which is causing throttling which in turn is causing performance issues(see Samsung's new QHD display tech which uses less power). The 2/16gb model which we have in the UK is pretty horrible to use, a lot of redraws,lag and stutter.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xRamz:
I got the 16/2 model. I find it's good. Greenified most apps. Always have about 500mb-800mb free ram. Using apex, kept in memory no redraws. Running 10j, ART. I like the phone :P
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcanexvi:
This is true. If you crank the graphics in BF it does indeed crash out. A lot. Nexus 7 does it too though not quite as much as it's lower res than we are but higher than 1080 on the same platform so it struggles with the maxed effects/drops.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crumplet:
Hello I recent decided to try another custom rom. And I seem to have a problem. How to I give all or most of my internal storage to the rom installed via SS? Here is a screen shot. Seems my internal storage is split in 2 I want to feed my three gig some of that unneeded eight gig that's just sitting there... Do I need an unlocked boot loader in order to have that option?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crumplet:
bumping
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
I don't understand your question...

Our phones have 16gb,4gb is reserved for the system,4gb for apps and 8gb for other stuff.

And we can't change that...

Sent from my Razr XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crumplet:
So if i install a custom rom on stock slot will it take full control of my whole internal storage?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] welder73:
Yes,it should.

Maybe you have a few backups of the roms or something else takes up memory,I suggest that you format it...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Brainscanner:
Hi folks,

I've really been trying to find the information I'm asking for. So please just tell me if my questions have been asked before :-)

I'm using the unbranded Tytn with Eplus (ger). The device itself works and I wouldn't change anything about the software if it wasn't for Active Sync. I sometimes have to end it with the Task Manager and start it again before it will sync anything. He doesn't even connect to the Exchange server. Sometimes there's the message "waiting for network" (or similar, own translation). Sometimes there simply NO message at all (where he usually says "looking for changes", etc.

Finally he claims the host is unreachable - other applications (Pocket IE, e.g.) don't see a problem getting their packets out.

This is great with Push Mail. As far as I can say he gets his problems when I'm moving (driving car, even when going to the other side of a building): He changing the cell phone masts. He loses his connection and is uncapable of regaining it.

Does anyone know this problem? And if, is it fixed by any update? I'd say since it seems to be an application-only problem upgrading the windows rom should be enough, shouldn't it?

And how can I use the rom from Vodafone with my original extended rom to keep my provider settings?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:
First of all try the EXtROM unlocker to make sure it works on your current ROM or look for your ExtROM on the Wiki.

If you can unlock your or if your ExtROM is on the Wiki then you can just update the windows ROM. When the ROM is updated and you go through the initial setup, wait for it to say it will install some additional programs. Hit soft eset before the timer counts down to the install of the ExtROM to stop it.

Then use the ExtROM unlocker and delete all the stuff in there. Then put your ExtROM contents in there. Next, either run the ExtROM stuff manually or I usually do a hard reset and let the device do it automatically.

If that doesn't fix your connection problems I would suggest exchanging it for a new one if possible.

I also like the fact you refer to your TyTN as a 'He.'
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] slimsaturn:
Mine is a she...anyways though

jokinawa I thought we could have the ext rom initiate itseld unless the cabs were signed with htc's thingy? unless this has change recently. Oh how I would love to try the south africa rom with a cingular ext rom and some goodies...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jokinawa:
hehe

I use the Imate 1.20 ROM with the Softbank ExtROM that autoinstalled after I replaced them and did a hard reset. I also did it previously with the HTC ROMs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] slimsaturn:
then it should work fine since all those cabs came from the carrier. but i meant for say installing ms voice command
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Brainscanner:
Reference:

I think since its capabilities to frustrate his owner this devices definitely have to have a soul. Or are at least living somehow.

Okay, I have to admit, "she" would be more appropriate in this case, but...

I'm still used to the update procedures from my old Qtek 9090, where the rom, radio and ext were in 3 seperate image files and where you could just delete those you didn't want to be upgraded.

I wasn't sure if I would have had all the Vodafone stuff and couldn't reverse it. But you seem quite sure that their individual stuff is in the Ext I'll have a try tonight.

My Ext can be downloaded from the site. So I can skip extracting it.

By the way: I the ftp server sometimes down? I couldn't connect yesterday from home. Now, from work, it works fine and fast.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Brainscanner:
No, didn't really work. I've got the impression that it is a little bit more reliable, but what is a push mail service that can't provide at least 99% availability? If I have to look at my phone every hour to make sure Active Sync is still doing what it is supposed to do.

I've not heard of many people experiencing this problem, but since it is only Active Sync (other programs don't have this problem) I don't see what I would get by having the phone replaced... ? :rolleyes:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] crios42:
Mulitpart question. I have a L720, rooted. I wanted to install Philz and the OTA update. Here is my question. Can I install Philz (and then backup), unroot, install the OTA and then root again? Will Philz affect the OTA install or unrooting, etc? I haven't seen any questions that specifically address these series of steps.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] anees02:
You have complicated questions so i don't understand you... But you may want to unroot and take NG2 update.

You have to be official in your Android and your recovery then after that you can take the NG2.

I flashed the stock NAE tar file 2 times until all became official then i could take NG2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] crios42:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
okay sooooo.....my big bro age 21 got the Verizon S3 which came with 4.4.2. He got the Verizon one, cause he said "I'm gonna be smarter then you and get the best coverage with 4GLTE".....so long story short he wants me to root it and to give him Philz recovery cause that's what im using on my Boost S3. He also wants me to make him a custom splash screen; so basically i got him root with TowelRoot and "disabled" Knox with SuperSU. Now I tried to flash the D2LTE Philz through Odin and it failed, so i did some research and apparently the bootloader is locked.....so i saw there was EZ-unlock but it would Hard Brick if you use it on 4.3 or 4.4.2. Some people on the Verizon S3 Forum Have said to use SafeStrap on the locked bootloader, but idk since he wants all of his memory and stuff and SafeStrap creates partitions and doesn't really let you install over the stock rom slot. I have no idea if it will flash the custom splash screen i made for his Verizon S3. So my question I guess is will SafeStrap work for the custom things he wants me to do to it???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It won't work the same way, all your information is absolutely correct though. Good thing you read everything before you started flashing things.

You only have access to 2 locked bootloader roms. You can flash them right over your stock rom in Safestrap. Safestrap won't partition your SD card unless you tell it to so just don't create a rom slot. You can't run any other rom on the phone. Unfortunately, you definitely can't flash philz recovery because it requires an unlocked bootloader.

I'd say just root, install xposed, and see what you can do to debloat and customize the stock rom. That's all you can really do at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
thank you good sir/madam but will i be able to flash the Custom Splash screen with SafeStrap??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Yes, make a nandroid first. It won't do anything worse than soft brick if it doesn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
[MENTION=5181150]BadUsername[/MENTION] thanks again :) i will try this soon and report back so i can make a splash screen thread here for Verizon S3 your welcome to check out my Boost S3 Splash screen thread to see how the ones i make look :) link in my signature :)

hi everyone, my lg g pro came briefly in contact of water, after quickly drying it, every thing was working normally as of before except during calls when i'm using headset, i hear a background static noise and i still hear the person at the other end but mixed with whistling and cracking, the thing is the static noise disappears when i use it normally without headset or when on speaker, also no noise when i listen to music or surfing the net though headset.

what i did i opened it, cleaned the inside including the motherboard with isopropyl, still the same problem.

please any help of any kind will be appreciated, as you all know the headset use is crucial and it's getting really annoying.:(

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonyrewind:
Hello

I have a Problem with getting any Recovery working on my HTC HD .

Some Background Info:

A Year ago i Rooted my HD without any Problem and Flashed [MENTION=3382363]Mustaavalkosta[/MENTION] CM on it .

I run very smooth for 9 months without a single Problem , i Flashed all updates and never had a issue.

Well around 3 Weeks ago the Phone suddenly Shutdown overnight , and the next morning when i tried to Power it up i was Stuck in a Bootloop , i could not enter into Recovery anymore to flash CM again .

So i Downloaded a RUU and installed it , after that the Phone worked again with Ace Sense 3.0.

After letting it run with Sense for 2 Days i Rooted it again without any Problems , all went smooth until i tried to enter Recovery to Flash CM again .

Problem :

Whenever i try to Enter Recovery the screens turn Light gray like it is trying to enter the Recovery and after 3 sec it Restarts itself and Boots up .

I have no Problems with Flashing different Ruus and Sense Rooms and they run Good , but i rly hate them and i want CM back on my Phone :(

Attempts to Fix it :

I flashed every version of 4Ext, CWM and TWRP including the unofficial ones From Mustaavalkosta's Thread without any Success .

The Strange thing is that From all the versions i tried i had Success with 4Ext 1.0.0.0.5 but it seems to old to Flash the CM rooms (i get Status7 error)

Well over the last weeks i tried everything i found to fix it but nothing helped and im getting frustrated with it , bcs i don't want to use Sence Rooms and i need to use the Phone for another 4 Months :/

Some Hard/Software Info :

I use aahk2 v2.15 to root the phone and i works like a charm (i rooted it atleast 1 time with every different PD98IMG all worked like a char but didn't solve the problem )

I use Fastboot to Flash the Recovery and i don't get any Error while doing it .

After Rooting it i Have the following Bootloader

**Unlocked**

Ace PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.85.2425

Well i Hope some one can give me some more Ideas or maybe has a fix for it since i want to get back to CM Badly :/

If More Info is needed pls write it and i will give it .

Cheers J.R

Hiho Thanks alot for that sugestion .

I Updated the HBOOT to 2.00.0029 but still the same thing tested with twrp 2.7.1 , CWM 6.0.4.8 and 4EXT 1.0.0.6 RC 3 none worked :/

The Strange thing that i dont understand is that 4EXT 1.0.0.5 RC8 works like a charm can do wipes and everything it just dont let me install CM ,

tested with cm 10 and 11 get Status7 with bothe -.-

Well would be nice if someone got more ideas \o/
