Hi all.

Few things about the Galaxy S3 im wanting to know..

1.) Has the phone got a good developer following, are there a lot of support for the device?

2.) Will the Galaxy S3 eventually receive the Android L update?

Thanks!

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greentag:
My niece's Nook had the 99% bug with stock Nook HD ROM. I was tasked with fixing it, and figured why not put a custom ROM on it.

I tried Carbon ROM first, now I'm on CM 10.2.1. Both ROM's exhibit the same behavior. She would go to a website with pop-up ads and flash images and the thing would reboot by itself. With Carbon ROM she couldn't even play app store games, but CM seems to have fixed that at least.

I tried Dolphin and Fire Fox and both would allow the thing to run those websites or flash based stuff without reboots. After a few hour though it would reboot again...

I saw another post with the same symptoms, so I have looked. I have Googled the heck out of this issue and see no fix.

Here is the other post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2778338

Any insight would be appreciated, thank you :)

Since flash mobile has been deprecated, you get what you get. It is highly temperamental. Blame Apple, Adobe or whoever but there's little you can do about it unless you want to give Adobe billions to support flash mobile again or just uninstall it.

That said, the device may still reboot with or without flash installed.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greentag:
It's gotta be a narrowed problem seeing as how there's not 500 posts with the same issue, it doesn't seem widespread.

I can only assume that the stock HD ROM blocks it entirely somehow unlike AOSP.

I know on the old Nook color you could have stock and just remove the B&N UI and have it look like AOSP, but I can't find a similar option for the Nook HD :(

his ROM has a LOT of potential. It's beautiful and smooth. But I wiped /data before install and followed all the steps but I am having a problem with systemui force closing after trying to change the wifi, battery, and signal icons. This happened every time and I tried multiple times. Even after fixing permissions it had problems. Am I just being an idiot? Or is it an issue?

I have been trying most of the day today to root my phone, however though I have been able to load CWM touch with much success, I am still getting FC from SuperSU and Super User both. I have followed all instructions to the letter. Even unzipping the Current Knox workaround. Still getting a FC on SuperSU. So I assume that my phone is not rooted. What could I be doing wrong.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red7s:
Hello,

I was following this thread here in order to flash my new tab 3 but for some reason I am having an issue at step 10. I can't seem to boot into CWM when I try and do it the way the thread says, I just end up getting a black screen(after the samsung logo)

Is there a specific way I can fix this, or is it user error?

If I go into recovery manually(after the device powers on) It goes to the stock recovery)

If it helps, this is the version of CWM that I'm trying to flash. I tried it with both versions of Odin 3.07/3.09

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panther-Stu:
Hi everyone,

I have a Xperia Z1, and have installed a new locker, unfortunately when I unlock it, it then goes to the default lock. On my other android device I can go into security and goto screen lock, and set it to none. However on my Xperia I don't have a none option.

Any Ideas on how to remove it?

[G2 General] tiguy99:
Took my G2 with Optimus G3 ROM to Best Buy to compare how my 1 year old G2 works against the new phones.

Needless to say the G2 didn't surprise me at all.

Speed:

It was just as fast and fluid compared to each and every phone I listed. In fact with the G3 ROM my phone opened menus quicker than the G3 itself with no lag!!

Screen

G2 is brighter than each phone listed with the exception of the M8. Quality and clarity was better than:

Note 4

S5

On par with:

IPhone 6 plus

M8

Not better than G3 only bc the icons/ text are sharper on that phone due to the resolution respectively.

However, the G2 screen was much brighter, more colorful and having a slightly better viewing angle vs the G3 on display.

I was disappointed the G3 screen was yellowish compared to the bright clear color on my G2.

I was expecting it to blow my phone out the water. Not so.

In fact this G3 was the 2nd display unit I saw which suffered from the yellow tint of death. Really hope LG gets that in order as I hope the majority of units on the market don't fall in this category.

Take your G2 to Best Buy and compare for yourself!

The Note 4 test will be the one you find surprising. Was also hoping that screen would blow this one away...not so much.

On your phone and on the display unit, go to

www.att.yahoo.com.

Set brightness to 100% text size to 100% as well. Grab an employee as a witness and have fun showing them how your year old G2 makes the new screen look bad.

Oh yeah the G2 brightness is higher vs the Note 4.

It only won on viewing angle category.
[G2 General] albsat:
People buy phones because they are new and they can. G2 is good. Others as well good.

But the issue it's not whether people can buy what they want or the others are good or bad.

Best phone I've had
[G2 General] vishal11in:
I completly agree that it is the best phone to have. I am some how pleased moving from s2 to g2. The only thing which sometime bothers is the ram management, phone starts to lag if you keep or accidently leave chrome open. This lag can be well experienced when tying. If lg can release some update for only ram management then this phone will rock for few more year like galaxy s2 did
[G2 General] bayuadhi069:
I have to agree as now G2(D802) with cloudyG3 is my main phone and G3 (D855) as my secondary phone. G3 screen drains too much to be my main, but its still a great phone so i keep it anyway.

moral, not all g2 screens are made equal.

I have an iPhone 6 plus as my work phone and I can say that it is sh@t. Only thing I like better than my G2 is bigger screen. Bigger screen that has burned in, seriously wtf.. Already asked boss and he ordered Note 4 for me. Will see how that one holds up against my G2. My next phone will probably be Nexus 6 if I decide to leave my precious G2. I am interested to see how will LG G4 look, but if it will have locked bootloader then it will be a no go for me. Anyway G2 is still a great phone and I don't see any phone released this year to be much better.

I already some LG mid phones, like LG LII, L4 and recent F3. But never had a top one like G2. Really like it, great features that indeed makes difference and to me a phone its better if has tecnologies that makes difference. Im really satisfied with it but in my opinion Moto X and now Moto Maxx are the best because of that A.I. that in all moments makes special.

[G2 General] finbaar:
I was sceptical about the back buttons but now it would be hard to have a device without them. My phone is running CM11 M11 and I love it. I don't see the need to switch devices until later in 2015 when 64 bit is available (and yes I know that 64 bit doesn't mean much) as the G2 competes with the current crop of phones in a way that the S4 and M7 can't.

[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Despite the vertical shift addition to OIS along with the IR ranging, the G3 seems like a downgrade from the G2, G3 has lower contrast and a more power hungry QHD screen. Thats why I upgraded to a Xperia Z3, I hope the G4 goes back to power efficiency and a better screen.

Samsung makes good hones but AMOLED just kills it for me. With my usage severe screen burn is garaunteed before my contract would be over.

My dad has the M8, HTC has the best UI and Speakers of all android phones but the Ultrapixel is not that great.

The G2 is a better overall phone because of the screen to bezel ratio, good audio like the others and its the most cost effective.
[G2 General] MohamedYousri:
using the device for 4 months now, price range is around 450USD got it for 380USD which is a good discount after my Note 3 was stolen

So far no problems, every thing is smooth and runs fast, 5.2" screen in that size !! great job LG

no major lags or anything that could drive me crazy, Smart Stay is working very good not like at Samsung :)

Great support from the community , AOSP , G3 Ports , MIUI what else do you need from it :D

i intended to replace it with G3 but after trying G3 Ports and announcing that the official lollipop is coming with the new UI so i decided to keep it and use it for more long .

until there is a new killer feature in the other phone i don't think that we need to upgrade , 2.3 to 2.5 to 2.7 GHz in processor doesn't matter that much u can't even tell the deference in daily use

Thanks LG for this awesome phone
[G2 General] scottyd035ntknow:
As of the time of this post T-Mobile has started offering factory refurb G2s for $208. Financed with a new plan/upgrade it is appx. $9/mo and still one of the best phones out IMO.

I had a G3 on VZW after my VZW G2 got stolen. G2 was the best phone I ever had, G3 never felt as fast or snappy and honestly was a little too big. Both were debloated rooted stock roms. G2 just WORKED. Finally dumped VZW and went back to a trusty G2 on T-Mo. Like a breath of fresh air. Factory refurb looked NEW out of the box and functions like new. Also the non VZW versions of the G2 have a MUCH better power/volume setup on the back. Lollipop 30b on it on first power up. Rooted, Adfree, debloated and its way faster than my VZW G3 is. I know the G2 vs G3 hardware specs... Dunno, the G2 is just plain better. You can also get them NEW on Amazon for around $225 now IIRC at least the T-Mo version.

Oh, and the wife got an iPhone 6... honestly its not bad. Typical iPhone, bigger screen, she loves it... $27/mo sucks when she could have got a G2 as well but that was one of the prices I had to pay to convince her to leave Verizon. "Everyone has Verizon aren't the other services really bad?!". Yeah... I'll pay them off shortly anyway.
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Used to say that when I had Verizon lol

Thanks for the update.

Even with its issues its still a great phone
[G2 General] elite001mm:
I had a g2 on Verizon and loved it but the digitizer eventually crapped out on me for some reason. I bought a used HTC m8 to replace it mostly because I get bored easy and wanted to try something new. The M8 is a great phone but the G2 still can't be beat for value. I miss that screen since the m8 screen is smaller but it "looks" just as good. M8 beats the g2 in battery life though. Rear camera is a little disappointing on the m8 but front camera is really good. Much better than the g2. I don't miss the g2 too much but its an amazing phone

Sent from my GPE HTC One M8
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Thanks for the comparison! I agree...if LG made a better digitizer many of us would have kept it longer.

The G4 is tempting but I'm still holding onto mine for a little while longer
[G2 General] scottyd035ntknow:
I actually think the digitizer is pretty good honestly. I mean for what it is. And I'll probably rock this phone for awhile, I had zero plans to go to a G3 until someone walked off with my G2 and VZW was doing $0 with 2 year commitment.

Like I said, I never liked the G3 as much and honestly it was a little too big as well. Using it with one hand was a chore as it is right on the edge of "phablet" size. Wife is happier with the smaller iPhone too. Took one look at the Plus and was like "no". The Plus actually has the same 5.5" screen as the G3 but the G3 is physically MUCH smaller. Co-worker was raving about how nice it was that the screen on his 6 Plus was big but not overly huge like the Note and I pull out my G3 and am like "glad my G3 has the same screen as yours but is not unnecessarily huge". That's probably the best moment I had with the G3 actually.

edit: Just checked Amazon and it seems that all variants of the G2 are around the $225-$250 mark but they also all have low stock warnings. "Used" ones by LG are in the $140 range. Like I said, T-Mobile has them factory refurbished for $208 and the one I got looked brand new. Buttons on the back were obviously replaced, not a mark on it anywhere. Most likely they just took the guts of a used phone out and put them in a new shell.
[G2 General] gummybear00:
I have the note 4 and frankly it sucks. Samsung software is so bloated it's running like 30 services in the background.

The g2 on cloudy g3 rom runs much smoother than the note 4. Battery life is also better due to no qhd screen and the phone feels better in your hand.

I'm hoping Sony sells the device on their US site to buy directly rather than through T-Mobile. Anyone have any input? Then again, maybe I'll wait for the Nexus 6/X or whatever.
