Same result as above

I believe you will find that this is still the tot file not the kdz. I have hope, but I wonder if the energy and time (ie money) will be devoted to the next release "Android L" and not for any incremental updates.

Yeap, been there before, these at .TOT files unfortunately....

Anyone still on this thread?? I am looking for a d852 dll file for lgup. I've googled it but strangely can't find any. I figured someone on xda would have it.

Hi Folks

Well, I did my hard reset yesterday... and it didn't all recover as it should.

It failed to start most of the Orange customisation and I had to manually enable the Extended rom and run those programs there :(

Also the text messaging has gone a bit wonky! I don't know how to put it but when I try and send a text message it wants to send it via email. I know the SMS is setup, but I can't use it. I suppose this means I don't actually have SMS setup :(

Any suggestions before I speak to the Orange Support People. I figured you'd be more knowledgable than most of the call centre bred lot :cool:

TIA for all the help ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] xvanwaart:
Do you really want people to have an Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) for helping you???

for real now...

Had the same problem when recovering my Tytn with a Sprite Backup file, the SMS-folder had been replaced by a folder called IRM-root or something... problem was solved by using SPB backup... I heard this can be solved by not having Sprite backup restoring the mail boxes but in this way, your messages won't be recovered.

:D I meant "Thanks In Advance". I've been using that for years ;)

Hmm. I was aiming to get this as a fresh install, so haven't used SPB Backup to recover the files on the drive... If I ran it now to recover it would proabably cause more damage than good because of the different setups. But I shall look into that.

Thanks

Sorry about that, but as you can see I can't actually send any text messages. Tmail is running but doesn't seem to do much...

Reference: Monthly Minutes

For those that asked, the lower section that reads "Monthly Minutes" is a program called "Phone Dashboard" by Hudson Mobile Technologies. It's available through PocketGear and the like ;) Has been invaluable and prevented me from stressing and worrying about my usage. As it is I'm waaaay underusing my 3000 landline minutes a month and 550 cross network mobile minutes :D Thankfully!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elwyn M3100:
I'm thinking there is something different between 2003 of which he's testing on and the 2005 of which I have. I followed it through to delete all the databases, messages, attachments and the like but when I restarted poutlook (Pocket Outlook) the 3 other messages that were in there previously were still there.

This ARCSoft cab file is reportedly "not a valid program" :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elwyn M3100:
Spoke to Orange today. After over an hour on hold :( :eek: went through the basic messaging systems (ie, check the voicemail/text messagin numbers they use). I did explain I couldn't even get as far as that section of sending a message but she didn't seem to grasp that. Advised to delete all messages and then switch phone off for 15 minutes.

Done that, but the update that was supposed to come hasn't arrived.

Then again, ActiveSync has now keeled over :(

I am doing well...:cool: I have not sworn at them yet...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
You did remember to turn off the advanced USB functionality after the hard reset.... sorry.....I'll shut up now.!!!!

You realise there are, just at the moment, 3 or four folks (and dozens of the unknown out there) waiting to get the answer to this problem i.e reconstruct the messaging setup. There is very probably somebody around here that knows exactly what to do...if they would be good enough to let us know.

Sorry it's not working out - worth another hard reset??

By the way I got the word mobile problem you had. Googled it and dozens of folk had it but the only solution was a hard reset - which I did and it worked. Unfortunately my full sytem backup was done at a time after the word mobile problem started (Unbeknown to me!) and so it was useless to recover the system...damn. Learned the lesson - take periodic backups, keep a few going back in history and also perform a few routine checks before doing the backup. Otherwise I find Spb full system backup superb, keeps all my customisation settings, all installed programmes, tweaks etc., everything in fact.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elwyn M3100:
Yep, disabled all of that /before/ I did the hard reset....

Indeed. It's not a common thing but when it happens it's pretty annoying. Considering the hassle I had last time to get the operators' customisations to work even after the hard reset I'm not sure if that is the fault or what...

I had to open the ExtRom myself and run the files in there before I even got anything Orange like working...

Although it might be an idea to hard reset it and check the messaging works before going any further, although I seem to recall it looked pretty messed up back then as well!

We'll see. I'll try and get is sorted this week... Somehow!

I did fix that fault with a Hard Reset :D

I do have some SBP Backup Files here, so I might see if I can restore that level and go on from there.... Oooh :cool:

Thanks for a detailed reply! It's people like you that add a bit more stability into these forums!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elwyn M3100:
Right, I've got some backup files. SO the choices are:

1. Restore & not be able to use WORD as the templates are snafu'd

2. Don't restore and can't send text messages :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elwyn M3100:
Well. An update.

This evening I did a reset. SPB Backup had been performing backups every twice a week for most of December ;)

I ran the latest one.

I restored everything but the files.

It did it and not only do I now have text messaging back properly :D but I also DON'T have the Word bug. This was where templates had been overwritten for creating a Word doc.

I kinda worked out that of the two it was better to have text messaging than word files working :D I can get around word files. Text messages are, um, different. Don't think I can survive without them :eek:

Thank you all for your help. I am now happier with it. Well. I have to reinstall a lot now, but hey ho!
[T-Mobile LG G3] s_special:
I keep getting these messages. Anyone have any idea to fix this?
[T-Mobile LG G3] xxmilmanxx:
I got the same message today but I know exactly why I did. Something changed or modified your google play services app. I am running ZoneROM - 09.17.14 - D85110M - DeODEX with G3 Tweakbox (the latest that was pushed out today) and decided to try one of the themes that the developer warned us may or may not work lol. Needless to say after a reset I got that message. After I uninstalled the theme and set is ALL back to stock and gave it another reset the message came back.

The only fix (that worked for me) was to dirty flash the rom and wipe dalvik cache and chache afterwards. Hope this helps!:good:
[T-Mobile LG G3] s_special:
Yeah all this started after I installed the latest g3 tweaksbox and messed with the themes. I restored to a nandroid backup but the issue continues. Wtf this is crazy
[T-Mobile LG G3] s_special:
This doesn't make any sense. I flash back to a much earlier backup and the popups come right back once i try to update apps in the Play Store
[T-Mobile LG G3] bblanski:
I am getting them to. Didn't switch anything up that I can think of..
[T-Mobile LG G3] z34370z:
I started getting this message when i switched to the google keyboard. Switched back to lg keyboard and it went away.
[T-Mobile LG G3] s_special:
Ok is definitely the Google play services update is to blame. I did a factory reset. Everything was fine until I updated the Google play services plug in again. Instantly the popups returned
[T-Mobile LG G3] dragonsofcp:
I had these issues until I disabled "Disable Location Consent" in xposed. It does not play nice with the new play services yet.

[Verizon LG G3] improvius:
I am getting really frustrated with the auto-focus "feature" on this phone. Is there any way to disable it so I can actually focus on what I want to take a picture of? Some sort of macro mode would be super helpful. Is there a setting somewhere that I missed?
[Verizon LG G3] stetsonaw:
Do you have the options on the screen when you take a photo? Otherwise, just tap on your target to take the picture with them/it in focus. Otherwise, use the Magic Focus feature to adjust focus after the picture is taken.

Aside from that, to do manual focus, you'll have to use another app, like Focal or any other camera app.
[Verizon LG G3] tu3218:
Put the camera in the mode where the shutter is on the side. Then you just tap on whatever you want to focus on in the screen, it focuses than you hit the shutter button.
[Verizon LG G3] stetsonaw:
Oh yeah! Derp!
[Verizon LG G3] jfriend33:
Idk. But u must try focal app for more difficult shots. It gives tons of exposure zoom and filter options.
[Verizon LG G3] improvius:
Okay, I finally got it. Thanks very much. At first I was never leaving it in "option" mode, I would always go back out of it before taking pictures. I totally missed this until you mentioned it.

To clarify in case anyone else is unclear:

-click the "3 dots" button at the top of the camera screen to open up the options mode.

-In addition to the various mode, settings, etc. buttons at the top, there will also be a shutter button at the bottom.

-In this mode, the shutter button will take the picture, and touching anywhere else will create a focal point.

I went all through the pdf manual and didn't see anything at all about this.
[Verizon LG G3] vinzarka:
Too dark if i have even a bit light in front of camera

Still cant find a good option to make a photo when i have even a bit light towards me. It shows totally dark at the shadow part. Exposure doesnt go as i want. Does it have also a Manual Focus?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but if you tap the three-dot so that the options come up, wherever you tap on the screen I believe is where it'll focus on, then use the camera button at the bottom to take the picture.
[Verizon LG G3] vinzarka:
I know what u mean but still doesnt make a big difference about focusing when i want. And i meant...exposure. If there is a tree in nature and is sunny weather and under the tree is dark coz of shadow...and i want to focus exposure in that dark part...coz there is a flower or a rabbit...this exposure doesnt work. I dont mind if the tree becomes overexposured. I hope u understand me. Thank u for replying.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If the manually choosing where to focus in the stock camera app isn't doing the job, I'd try a third-party camera app. It sucks it won't use the laser focus but there's a chance a more professional app would do the job. At least if you buy a good app you can test it right away and refund it quickly (limit was 15 minutes but it might've increased again - I can't keep track). Good luck! I'm sure we'll all appreciate your findings if you experiment. You're welcome!
[Verizon LG G3] vinzarka:
I tried some 3rd part apps but still not satisfied. Too many unnecessary options and fake sometime. Anyway...thank u a lot. Hugs and enjoy ur time.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
Looks like the battery problems are gone, at least for me and my SGH-i257M, Canadian, Rogers. I got a full 7 days from my last charge. I used to get 2 or 3 days.

I use it as a simple phone with perhaps a few calls each day. Occasionally, but not every day, i use the internet to check weather, do a search or find a location.

Not rooted. KitKat 4.4.2

Battery Doctor with most automatic options disabled. Location, BlueTooth, MobileData and Wi-Fi are turned OFF unless i am explicitly using them. Updates only by Wi-Fi which i turn on occasionally.

I have disabled all but a few of the built-in Apps as recommended by the CleanMaster AppManager, only keeping the ones that i need.

I have a 12000 mAh PoweRocks for trips where no plug-in is available. I get 5 charges from it before it needs to be re-charged. It needs about 12 hours plugged in to recharge. So i should be good for the best part of 6 weeks away from a plug-in.

Apps: NoWallPaper, BatteryDoctor, CleanMaster, S Planner, SmoothCalendar, TWN, CMBrowser, Banking, MyRogers, TapaTalk

That's really impressive result. I can last 2 days at the latest providing that I turn flight mode on for the night. What ROM are you on? Stock?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
KK 4.4.2, not rooted, stock everything. I typically get 5 days, occasionally 6. I got seven that one time. It loses 3 %age points overnight. I have not tried flight mode. I am thinking now of uninstalling BatteryDoctor and CleanMaster to see what happens.

My phone received an update several weeks ago, well after the KitKat update. I did not keep track of the date that it arrived. I feel like i am the only one in the known universe that received this. I asked about it on all of the S4 mini forums and no one even replied to my question.

Anyway, it was after this update arrived that the battery performance improved. It updated more than 170 Apps and said it was for "increased stability". That is all i recall about it.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
Network mode is set to GSM/HSPA/LTE (auto connect). Mobile network type is LTE. I do not change these settings.

Like i said previously i leave virtually everything turned off unless i am specifically using it - mobile data, wi-fi, vibration, location, bluetooth, GPS, etc.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
Right now i am at almost 6 days on this charge and BatteryDoctor reports 54% battery remaining.

I neglected to add what may be an important piece of info in post #1. Several weeks ago, i did not keep track of the date but it was well after the KitKat update, my phone received a large update. It updated more than 170 Apps, said it was for Increased Reliability [or something similar]. I posted a note about this on each of the S4 mini forums with no response on any of them. I feel like i am the only person in the known universe who received this update.

Since this update my phone has never dropped the network, and battery life has increased dramatically.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedromms86:
mobile data off is the key to 6 days battery

in my case i use for work, so cant turn it off, last only 1 and 1/2 day or 2 days max

Hi

I'm trying to flash my S2 (GT-I9100T) with the 4.1.2. stock ROM with Odin but windows doesn't even detect it. When plugging in, it doesn't make the USB connected tone. I have tried using several ports and cables, and installed Kies as well. Odin obviously does not detect it as well.

Is there any way to fix this or install stock TouchWiz 4.1.2 via CWM or something?

Thanks in advance

Hey, I found this on YouTube and thought it was worth a share.

Looking good for our OPO :)

[YOUTUBE]vU5zOJfS6KI[/YOUTUBE]
[ONE General] mynameisjon:
That is just stupid.

This whole "bend gate" is stupid.

It's a phone, not a tank. Stop sitting on your phones and trying to bend them.
[ONE General] zephiK:
Thats the thing though, people are not purposely trying to bend them. On the iPhone, people are just having them in their pocket and are most likely wearing tight pants that are causing the their iPhones to bend.

But anywho.. the purpose of this thread is to see how the OPO would do and not about iPhone "bend"gate
[ONE General] Kerjifire:
The thing is, the bending is occurring without people sitting on them, it's in their front pocket. Even I can recognize that when it is in my front pocket while driving, I can feel my jeans and my body physically pressing against my phone. This is only being noticed due to the large phones which have come out recently. Which is why I take it out whilst driving. But for some reason, people still keep it in their pockets. Granted, I understand if the phone is bending it is on the user, but then again a phone costing in excess of $800 shouldn't be bending so easily as reported.
[ONE General] mynameisjon:
I highly doubt people are getting their phones bent if they put it in their front pocket.

[YOUTUBE]Sr-lEnPwzAw[/YOUTUBE]

It took 100 PSI to bend it.

The only way it'll bend in the front pocket is if you're obese and you're still wearing tight pants.

Also if you're paying more than $800 for a phone, I'd think you'd put a little more effort into caring for it.
[ONE General] Kerjifire:
If you've ever had a large phone and small pants pockets, you'd know that when you place it in your front pocket, you can feel it being put under a significant amount of stress. Particularly when sitting. Eg. . Being larger than the phone in the image, I find the OPO also pushes against my body whilst sitting which again places stress on the phone. The Iphone 6 Plus, is equally as large, if not even slightly taller. So personally, I find this test very valid and applicable to my uses of the phone. Personal opinion I guess.

Also, the test you're showing doesn't actually target the fundamental point of bending for the iPhone, around the volume rocker housing. And yes, people definitely should be taking care of their phone better. But then again its a phone, its designed to be used and not looked at. I guess some people like using their phones by placing it in their pockets like me.
[ONE General] mynameisjon:
Every structure will have it's weak points.

People who bought iPhones, bought it because of aesthetics. So you trade off a bit of rigidity for slimness.

I get what you mean regarding the front pocket, but generally I make sure the jeans I buy have pockets that are deep enough to accomodate my phone. If not I send them to a tailor to extend the pockets another 2-3 inches for about $2 a pocket.

I disagree with your point on "it's meant to be used and not looked at". Phones these days are marketed partially based on their aesthetics.

People who treat their phones like beater cars should expect the phones to be beat up.
[ONE General] Kerjifire:
True but then again people are too lazy to get their pockets extended :P

My words didn't come out right. What I was meant to say was that phones aren't bought "just" to be looked at. They have to have some sort of function otherwise you wouldn't carry it around or fork out money for it. For guys, we don't have handbags to store our phone so it is often the pocket which is the easiest method to carry our phones. Hence bend gate :)
[ONE General] Setting.Out:
I actually have a bag now, not purely for the phone, but for the fact that my jeans were not comfortable filled with the random items I needed for the day.. I laughed at myself at first having a "man purse" , but honestly I love my bag now. I used to have a car to keep most of my items in, but now I rely on public transport and a bag is essential.. I have put my phone in my pocket on occasion, but even with deep pockets it is uncomfortable and looks more silly to have a huge rectangular bulge, and silly to risk damaging it.. People should pay more attention and care to their things and not expect compensation for carelessness..
[ONE General] gerciolisz:
What if those all opo digitizer issues was caused by little bending in pockets and some things in digitizer can broke from it?
[ONE General] ebrandsberg:
most of the "scientific" tests I have seen have been using a test apparatus that provides solid stability on each end of the device and then applies an equally balanced pressure on the middle of the device. The videos that I have seen with an iphone bending has been applying unequal pressure on the edges of the phone, i.e. generating torsion on the chassis of the phone. Even the consumer reports scientific test shows that compared with many larger phones (which are likely to experience larger forces just by nature of their size), the iphone is significantly weaker than many comparable phones. Per their own article "Both models were weaker than the LG G3, the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3". The reality is that Apple through their own products has trained their users to an expectation of strength:

HTC One (m8) and Apple iPhone 6: 70 pounds, but note, the HTC one has a curved back-surface, which may result in deformation faster than a flat surface due to test methods, so it may actually be much stronger overall in real-world situations.

iPhone 6+: 90 pounds

iPhone 5, and others (in the 5.5 inch category): 130 pounds (this is nearly 2x the reported strength of the iPhone 6)

As such, apple consumers may have gotten use to the 130 pounds of force on a smaller phone, and feel that the new phone is inferior. It is, as compared with earlier products. It is not as strong, and due to the larger size, much easier to bend vs. the earlier models, due to larger stresses under similar conditions.

The reality is that if a person can tolerate physically deforming a metal object with their hands, it is likely too weak for daily use. The test methods also probably make the objects under test appear much stronger than they really are under real-world conditions. Cars are tested with offset head-on testing as they can be much more destructive than a direct head-on, as the pressures are not symmetrical. Same with phone deformation. Show me a test of each phone with the phone mounted at the corners, and the pressure applied in the middle, and I guarantee to you, the results will show a much lower pressure to deformation.
[ONE General] Haffa:
