There are several great chess options, as I'm an active online & computer chess player.

ChessGenius is excellent, a highly regarded program for PC, PPC, & SmartPhone versions, + others. Richard Lang the programmer is one of the true pioneers of computer chess & some of his programs have beaten the best players in the world. There is a trial period, but the cost is very small & well worth it. (ChessGenius is not a PPC client for online chess.)

If you search around on PPC software sites you'll find any number of chess programs for PPC. There are also Free chess programs for ppc out there as well.

Go to ChessGenius website & download v.1.9 for PPC.

http://www.chessgenius.com/

For online, you need a chess client for PPC, that works with a particular chess service. I use both ChessClub.com & FICS, the best known & largest. ChessClub.com also pioneered bringing the chess world to the computer. Their PC chess clients are fantastic. ChessClub.com is not real expensive, but is oriented to serious players. GrandMasters play & hang out there too.

http://www.chessclub.com/

FICS (Fast Internet Chess Server) is the major Free chess service available. The pc chess clients are good.

http://www.freechess.org/

There are inexpensive PPC chess clients you'll find on PPC software sites, but I use a client called: ChessThinker

http://www.geocities.com/thechessthinker/index.html?20077

This is free software developed by chess programmers, that can run various chess engines. You can play chess against the computer chess program within OR play online with ChessClub.com or FICS! (You need either a paid account CC.com or free account with FICS) It is the only chess client I know of that can do this.

In addition, it happens to be the best of any PPC client I've ever used (have tried many!). It works with all Windows PPC phones. The interface is versatile & perfect for the PPC.

Good Luck & Happy Chess Playing.

Everything seems to be running OK but I'm not sure what could be causing this.

I'm rooted on the latest update btw.

Any ideas?

Looks like a theme problem have you installed any themes or anything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wp4jot:
That same thing happened in my S6 Edge. I use a photo from my gallery as a home screen wallpaper. I fixed it by entering the wallpaper settings, selecting the same photo and adjusting it to hide that white area at the top of the photo.

It happened in my S6 Edge in the stock firmware and theme.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eallan:
Thanks for the response, I think mine is a much bigger problem though.

It's a "glitchy" white, sometimes it's not white and it's also affecting the notification pull down, along with the lock screen and keyboard.

Hello, thanks for reading, i bought a refurbished D800 and everything works ok except for the screen wich gets some blueish spots when i press it ( here is the thread i created about that: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/help/blueish-pixels-touch-screen-t3102299). The screen is pushed up (showed in this thread's attachments), i opened the device but im not sure if the battery is inflated or not (if it is i guess thats what got the screen glass pushed up). Also the device when its in my pocket mostly reboots itself sometimes over 5 times, it gets hot. What do you think?, thanks!.

PS: Im using BlissPop LP.

(halfway down the page)

Made replacing my LCD a nightmare.

Worth every penny.

Problems are gone and the phone is back to normal both physically and literally
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RainQC:
Sorry to wake this tread up .

but you say you brought a D800,

But on what i see on the pics , you got a D801-D803 (T Mobile or a canadian G2) on the speaker module

be aware if you play with custom rom
[Nexus 5 General] peachpuff:
You'd figure that a phone with a bigger battery, better camera and a bigger screen would be better than the n5... but you'd be wrong.

The software on the phone is simply garbage, i can't remember the last time i've seen this much lag on a phone, perhaps it was with my captivate 5 years ago.

LG still hasn't released lollipop for my model for whatever reason, so i have to rely on cm/aosp roms. Since there's only a handful of dev's that support my model the choices are pretty slim, oh and 5.1.x is completely broken for my model due to some modem issues.

The g2 forum is newb central, every day around 5 people brick their phone, yes every day. Since there's around 6 different model's of the g2, people think installing a rom from another model is going to work, it doesn't.

Im glad i didn't sell the n5 after getting the g2, i can't imagine using a non-nexus phone ever again.
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
I was thinking of a FREE UPGRADE to a lg g2 but this changes my mind...

So u get a btr cam and super battery at the cost of lag free experience.dont knw if thats a good deal or not
[Nexus 5 General] Masteryates:
Yes I agree regarding the Dev scene on the G2 vs N5. :highfive:

I'm not so into modding and roms so for me, having the battery of the G2 makes it better than the N5 even though the phone only runs at 70% speed of the N5.

I'm actually glad that LG have been slow with Lollipop as there early builds are based on 5.0.2 which is too buggy IMO. I'd prefer to get L in a few months that is based on 5.1.1. :angel:

For someone who is into modding, roms and speed, I'd say stick with the N5. For more simple users and noobs, the G2 is a great DD that has good LG firmware and that fantastic battery, (without having to nurse it.)

Lets just all hope that LG/Google can give us the best of both worlds for the N5 (2015.) :cool:
[Nexus 5 General] migueldbr:
Well that's just not true. I have owned a G2 before my nexus and it works perfectly(just flash optimusrom). The battery life is like 2x the nexus. You do need to search a bit before flashing roms because it's quite harder than the nexus 5. I sold it only because I didn't like the software, no buttons on the side, design and lack of updates when compared to the nexus 5. check optimusrom thread for example and you can see lots of people love the rom. And performance is good. But if you want the latest android versions you can forget about it yeah.
[Nexus 5 General] bryst1:
Thanks for the feedback. Was considering g2 but I tend to want the latest builds. Seems like things would lag behind if I used the g2.
[Nexus 5 General] capt_f0r3st:
I am thinking of selling my nexus 5, and buying g2. Mainly because of battery life (or just only for battery life). Other things like camera, are good enough for me. But I wont sell n5 for the money I needed for g2 (not even used one) so maybe it is just waste of money. G2 battery really attracts me, but n5 has better developement support. I have dilema now :D :/
[Nexus 5 General] migueldbr:
Nexus 5! I was like you, always wanted the best battery, but not anymore. G2 UI is so ugly you will be frustrated. Stay with your nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] peachpuff:
The battery is great no doubt about that, camera too, but the software isn't. Haven't tried any kitkat rom's simply because they look awful compared to lollipop, even the g3 roms look a bit dated.

Having the latest builds is definitely nice, i can't imagine lg will update the g2 to 5.1 or higher. 5.0 will probably be the last build it sends out.

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/nexus-5-lg-g2-battery-swap-t2513133

I'll be doing this as soon as my battery comes in.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Actually it gets about 16% less battery on WiFi and only 12% less battery on LTE when both phones are used in an identical fashion. The N5 battery is 23% smaller than the LG G2, so on these connection types it can be considered more battery efficient than the G2.

More details and direct comparisons between these "sister" devices can be found in the N5 Anandtech review.
[Nexus 5 General] prakdaddy:
Respectfully I disagree. I had the VS980 for a year before my Nexus 6. Rooted as soon as i could and flashed Mahdi ROM and loved it. For Lollipop I flashed Blisspop - also very impressed.

It took less time than I thought to get used to the buttons on the back - I actually miss that layout on my N6. My only real gripe was that the sound was never loud enough.
[Nexus 5 General] rob ben:
I love mine. Had it since the first month or two it came out. Cloudy 3 ROM and nova launcher. I have zero issues. But to each his own I guess. if bhavent feltvtge need to upgrade either, and I used to every few months.
[Nexus 5 General] zerosum0:
IMO the N5 took rooting mainstream, which is good and bad. It's great because of the support but there are so many people who brick their phones and want instant help. My first phone was a 1g. I got the first iPhone and jailbreaked that. Thought it was great... Then Nexus 12345...No 6 though. There is something about this phone. I've even got a spare! You don't need more than this spec wise. Who needs quad hd etc. I've sent off for a zeno with 3*gig of ddr3ram and 4600ma battery 48gig storage for £240but I won't root it. No phone beats the N5 for rooters. It's bomb proof. I was offered a G 3 for this and turned it down

SENT BY ENTANGLEMENT
[Nexus 5 General] migueldbr:
True, but nexus 5 idle drain is worse than the g2. Believe me, the g2 has much better battery life if you are not using your screen like 8 hours a day. I had one and it's a big difference really. Anyone that has used both will tell you the same. And the g2 has a bigger screen also. My friend has a g2 and he does 6 hours sot easy over 2 days with terrible cell reception and I do 4 hours over 2 days with excellent cell reception

Check this post of when I had the g2( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57231200&postcount=3416). I know I was only using 2g,it was a test to compare it with a friend of mine. Still, the N5 does not even get close. 44h uptime with 4h25 sot and still 39% left

And if you check out endurance ratings from gsmarena the lg g2 has 50% more battery life than the N5 and it only has 30% more battery capacity. And without counting the slightly bigger screen on the G2

http://blog.gsmarena.com/lg-g2-battery-tests-are-done-here-are-the-results/

http://blog.gsmarena.com/nexus-5-grinds-through-our-battery-test-routine/

Not to mention talk time on the g2, it obliterates the N5
[Nexus 5 General] insanespain:
Jeez, I can't disagree more. I've been using mine for a couple months. LOVE it. I'm on official lg lollipop and I have zero reason to root and rom. It's fantastic. They didn't over-do the ui, and this lag you speak of is non existent. I couldn't be happier. I have a D800
[Nexus 5 General] peachpuff:
You missed the part where i said i didn't get the lollipop update, still stuck on kitkat, which is horribly slow imo. Cm12 runs great though but 12.1 has modem issues, and betting that lg wont update it after 5.0 is not something i want.
[Nexus 5 General] laofan:
Speaking from my experience with G2 and Nexus 5 for more than 6 month, G2 is by no means slower than Nexus 5.

I have been using cloudy g2 on Kitkat, cloudy stock, and Mahdi rom on sprint and at&t G2 most of the time. They are all very good and almost never lag.

Mahdi rom is at least as fast as nexus 5 in kitkat.

And speaking of lollipops builds, issues are everywhere in all phones, Samsung,htc,lg, moto. While people are reporting issues, a lot more people are happy with their phones.

At last, I don't know what makes you feel good to look down on people who bricks their phones and call them newbee. Aren't you a newbee when you just new here at xda? And you are still crying like a baby when the rom you use sucks and you don't know what to do about it.
[Nexus 5 General] peachpuff:
I tried cloudy's g2 rom, but kitkat just looks so archaic compared to lollipop. Every 5.1 rom is broken for the d803 g2, nothing i could do about it. 5.0 roms ran just fine and buttery smooth, but coming from 3 nexus phones i want the latest and greatest build, not something from 6 months ago.

As for the newb comment go check the help section in the g2 forum for your self, i've never seen this amount of bricked topics since i joined xda, its not funny just sad.
[Nexus 5 General] laofan:
Jeez,I got your point now---look down on G2 section makes you feel good.

You don't like g2? Leave it or complain it in the G2 section, stop picking bones in nexus 5 here. Attacking other phones or section doesn't make you look good. It doesn't make any other phone owner look good either.

5.0 on g2 is working great and then you are complaining 5.1 is broken in G2. I guess if you use nexus 5 again, you would crying for the poor battery life and camera, and even the "Memory leak".I know how complainer works.

As for the help section, why does it bother you to see people asking questions about unbricking phones? You are not their parents, they are not your responsibility. Go and have a life!
[Nexus 5 General] peachpuff:
You're hopeless.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Unless most of your usage comes from talk time or 3G usage, 2x more battery is a big exaggeration.
[Nexus 5 General] migueldbr:
Lol I didn't say exactly 2x the battery life. But flashing a custom rom and kernel improves the battery even more.

Hey guys Im new to the developing thing and I need a help because I'm really confused at the moment. So basically, I have Samsung Galaxy S II LTE, SGH-I727 Rogers version, and it has android version of 4.0.4. It's rooted with a cyanogenmod9. And now I want to upgrade it to cyanogenmod 10 or even 11, but i guess first i have to get the android version 4.1.2 . So I'm curious if i do a software update, and upgrade it to android version 4.1.2 will I loose my root?? and will I be still able to root it to Cyanogenmod 10 or 11?? Or i don't know, maybe you might suggest me something useless in order to update my old phone.

Thanks,

Hi Guys

I have got a very strange problem.

I have been running LVSV (23-04-2007) firmware for more then a month without any problems. But 3 days ago my Hermes just stopped vibrating with no reason. I didnt install any new software, everything was installed on a day one. I tried to play with settings ( triggered vibra off and on etc.) Just no luck.

So now i am not sure if this is hardware or software problem. I dont want to reflash it just to test this thing. My question is, is there any way to test vibra somehow to identify whether it is software or hardware problem ?

did you happen to drop it? or throw it in a bag? if your handy with small screw drivers take it apart and check the motors...

No, i didnt drop it. I am very carefull with all my phones. I dont want to open it as it would void my warranty. I will probably flash an original telstra's firmware and will send it to our supplier.

I was hopping maybe there is some secret command which i can run for example from the bootloader to activate the motor. ;-)

Hi

My iphone 4s suddenly stopped recieving cell service, wifi, bluetooth all at. the same time. It will only work when plugged into a wall outlet...so the usb to a desktop will not let itunes be used, nor will the computer recognize the phone.

So no wireless at all, and corded only works with wall power, hence no itunes. There is no sound and the date is Dec. 31, 1969 as well???

I have tried Apple and a repair shop...somehow some leads were broken on the board. Apple actually made the phone worse according to the repair guy with the microscope.

Apple tried jamming in a new battery and broke a few more leads on the back of the board that he could not access. No water damage, no drop damage...cold solder? not sure.

I did not backup....to icloud or itunes....I did not backup, I did not back up (head banging against wall)

Ok so I have information stuck on the iphone....I have tried the higher voltage usb offered on the macbook pro laptop to no avail. My last ditch effort is to jury-rig a 32pin connector cord to usb, with a soldered in dongle to the wall cube. So the cord would look like a Y....the iphone to <usb, and cube/walloutlet.

COULD this work? WIll there be anyway I could fry the usb port on the desktop or fry the desktop itself? Anyone ever rewire a usb cord, I think there are power, ground a data and a thread.

Any help would be appreciated....thanks!!!
