[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
The stock brightness solution leaves a lot wanting. The minimum brightness is way way too high.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whynottoday:
Try lux app ?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
Its brighter than the Moto X 2014 and I think my Nexus 6 ( I haven't compared it yet) however it's still easy to see in direct sunlight for me YMMV
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathan118:
I hope we'll see an increase in max brightness in a future update. Hopefully it's just a matter of pushing a little more voltage to the screen. It's not unusable...but using the phone yesterday in the car, a little bump in brightness would have been welcome.

Auto-brightness is fairly worthless...so investing in Lux and learning it.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakunclear:
Thanks lux is pretty awesome for dimming the screen well try brightness later. Since its super bright and hot day I'll check out brightness with lux on
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakunclear:
Visibility is a bit better with lux turned to max

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Javi:
Hi Gurus,

My MDA Compact 3 has been ported across, so now it's my main phone. It seems that if I have some reminders that I haven't snoozed, and the phone requires a soft reset, then it'll go into a soft reset loop.

It'll reset upto 5 or 6 times, the alarms will go off, if i try and dismiss them it doesn't help, but eventually it'll come back to life. I've done a hard reset (last week it reset for 3 hours - I switched it off) and gone through and re-installed everything - it even happened when I had no software installed.

I love my phone, but it's flaky. Anyone know of a solution

thanks,
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] skid:
Try MemMaid - removes duplicate and hung notifications (as well as other utils).
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Javi:
Tried that - MemMaid was one of the first things I installed. Deleted duplicates, but each soft reset - either after a backup or otherwise seems to re-generate more duplicate notifications.

When you say other utils and hung notifications - which are you referring to that i should use please...?

thanks for the prompt reply - I'm currently in another soft reset loop for the last half hour - am getting really frustrated with this phone
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Gajet:
What do you have installed?

Because this isn't normal behaviour. My MDA C III has only ever had one lot of reset loops, when I installed "s-k tools" I removed this and it never happened again.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Javi:
ok, here's the list - I've used all of these concurrently on my M600/WM5 which was my last phone. I bet you tell me it's one of these programs that are dodgy - please help - My phone's been soft resetting all afternoon, I'm now in the process of hard-resetting and rebuilding everything. by the way, what's s-k tools please?

[G2 General] MixXx2005:
Please admins do some cleaning here. A lot of tutorials is very bad ripoff of another tutorials.

I my case I can not find one logically structured tread with general info about G2 flashing, SW versions and so on.

A lot of people try to make a money, by giving wrong information an later ask money for help to unbrick others phones. This is just terrible!!!

I AM ANGRY DUE TO BAD TUTORIAL I BRICKED MY PHONE REAL BAD.

Please ,clean or make new rules for comment rights, to help other not brick their phones!!!!
[G2 General] Ganjax:
Hi

I think problem is not tutorials, but people who used first random tut.

Im sorry you bricked your device, but root G2 is really easy and install twrp.

For root u can use DP Tools from android g2 section, and twrp u can get with autorec from playstore.

That's all, if u wanna use customized roms, u will need install Jelly Bean bootloader, it support kitkat/lollipop/aosp roms. LG G2 is unbrickable by software, every state can be repaired. So, search tutorial for you to unbrick device and use my steps to have full unlocked device and feel free to mods and roms :)
[G2 General] Godra:
I just unbricked my G2 after 6 weeks so ask if you need anything to help you.
[G2 General] MixXx2005:
Nope. G2 community is so bad. No one give solutions, only ask for money , even steel credit card date. I love the phone, but the community is just terrible.

It is quite often that I found solution tread, first tree pages of comments are "nice work" , "good job" and so on , after fifth page real users actually give negative feedback. Now I am reading tread with 77 pages. I am in the middle and I still do not understand is it safe to use tutorial. And there are a lot of treads like this. XDA should give some rating possibility, to delete treads with wrong or not working properly solutions.

I am very disappointed in XDA.
[G2 General] Ganjax:
So, you mean u dont understand anything. I bricked my device few times, and i had no problem to recover this without any pay to anyone ;) i know how to install cwm, rom, bootloader, how.. If you said we need pay for everything? Open your mind, if u are too lazy to read easy tutorials ;)
[G2 General] MixXx2005:
I can provide you with tons of treads in G2 sections, that is outdated or do not work from the begging.

I am reading these in terrible english written treads for straight two days and still nothing that wort been read!

As a matter of fact I am not a noob or total beginner ether....
[G2 General] Ganjax:
You show u are, if no one before cried about G2 section ;) everyone can mods, but not u, why? We should ask just u, this is not freakin magic
[G2 General] wulsic:
So what doesn't work? Most of the things just do work normally but you need ofcourse to have the right bootloader version/modem just like on other devices. English isn't the main language for everybody so their English isn't perfect and so is mine but your's isn't 100% correct either. But they do contribute to the community and that breaks the barrier of languages.

MixXx2005 I don't know which threads you are in but I never had anybody ask me for money or steal credit card date? There might be people asking for money or idk exactly what all but that might be going on in the background especially. As some people brick their phone others want to unbrick it and ask money for shipping/not trying to destroy it. If you want to do it free then you have to do it yourself probably. The G2 community does give solutions but there were already so many Q&A threads or people who all ask the same question/don't read properly the threads that some people just don't react anymore.

I had read many unbricking/root tutorials when I just came to this community several months ago already and everything worked fine. Also the hardbrick fix method worked fine for me.

Btw if somebody steals your credit card date then why did you gave them it all? If you have those kinds of problems or want to report something about outdated content then just react on the thread, Contact the OP, and or in cases of scams and those stuff contact a moderator. Moderator and members don't always have time to check or everything is alright so people need to report the problems.

So about "I AM ANGRY DUE TO BAD TUTORIAL I BRICKED MY PHONE REAL BAD. "

You really have to read carefully for which G2 variant is was meant, it doesn't matter if you are experienced or not experienced people also make mistakes just like that I hardbricked my G2 after I left myself on an unrooted rom with no download mode and recovery.

If you can say the problem you have like what kind of bricks, more details then I could might help you for free. The thing it might only costs is time but that's worth it if you fix your brick into an working G2.

I will try to reply asap but school and some other stuff in life might make me forget this so if you have a question please quote or mention my name as I would only then receive a notification about it.

EDIT: I read your thread now about your qh_usb brick and I read the tutorial. The tutorial isn't misleading or whatsoever there could have been an issue due to drivers/binaries and or communication between your device and fastboot itself. The tutorial was also meant for if you had the same message on your screen.

Btw in which mode are you? QHUSB_BULK 9006 or 9008? About the exclamation marks do you have the proper drivers for it? You might need to install the drivers manually with device manager. If you can mention which mode then I could perhaps help. Maybe not immediately but I could probably help you to unbrick your phone :).
[G2 General] MixXx2005:
Thanks for your replay.

After all day of reading tons of useless information finally unbrick my phone. Now it is fully functional again.

I will explain why I am mad.

1st after official update my phone start to act weird (now i know what caused it, and it do not matter), then after I try to flash stock FW I stuck at LG logo. I found two different tutorials and both of them showed contradictory steps, I decided to follow one of them and like I said get error and booting till LG logo.

Next due to bad tutorial I erase all partitions with fastboot. But in the tut. was not said anything about proper way to do it. So after that tut. I get real brick. Still everyone can brick their phone following it.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/mega-tut-how-to-fix-bricked-lg-g2-t3055033 (3. step - how can I know that I should modify provided code with my .img file path? Where is something said about it?)

Then I read FAMOUS "LG G2 is UNBRICKABLE NOW! [FIX REAL HARD BRICK]" . After that I tried to short out test pins. Again I found contradictory informations about test point locations.

To get any life in my dead phone ,I try them both, and luckily I did not damaged eMMC.

There are a lot of wrong information how you should act in different situations in these topics, and these things can permanently destroy your hardware and there are no highlights or any warning about it.

So after qh_usb brick win 7 was unable to detect drivers, but somehow randomly after several hours of search, I found correct Qualqomm drivers, after that the device manager showed connection with 9008 mode brick. Then after I read whole

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830/page42

5th page before end ,give me right tool to fix my phone. tons of contradictory info there - truly TONS.

I can give you treads , where people do not give right topics, but instead give their FB and later ask for money.

Also I can give you proofs about those who said that they will help you for free in TeamViewer and quietly install keyloggers.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830/ (read this tread , somewhere in middle of it, there are a lot of proofs)

It took me around 15 h with intense bulls*it filtering to get my phone in order.

And the most annoying thing , is that this all, what I describe previously , could be done in 15 min, if there would be ONE normal tread.

If all other/bad/misleading treads would be deleted, then my troubles would not been started in 1st place.

But like I said before this G2 community is terrible from beginners point of view.
[G2 General] bender_007:
Ok here is one thing

1. before doing anything search ( I agree that you will find a lot of outdated threads -- not useless but mostly outdated)

2. There is a help section with people who will understand where the error is and try to help you out

3. Most of the people here ask a question, solve the issue and just write: "fixed", without writing how and possibly contributing

Honestly, If I were a mod I would just delete their useless threads, always thinking of themselves

There isn't any magic tool that will fit everyones needs, people who are new just click random

I hope you fixed the device
[G2 General] MixXx2005:
Thanks, everything is good now. But I disagree - there are a lot of wrong and often contradicting treads and a lot of people that make their salary due to this.

I think admins should ban a lot of users here and also implement some kind of tread and user ranking. Because there are also people that do not know anything( I my point of view, they are just helpful fools ,that do not understand what they can cause with their misleading information) ,but they tried to help by just posting random s*it they were hear somewhere else. And I as desperate beginner can make much worse brick by following the advice.
[G2 General] Vihru:
What proofs of keyloggers? I read it but didnt found anything..

[G2 General] bender_007:
I don't believe this happened. There would be more people involved in such opinions then.

Tbh the thread name of yours is kind of embarasing for people who create free stuff for everyone.

If you have any issues with any user on xda there are mods and admins and you can report them.
[G2 General] robogo1982:
Odd.

Because I always found a solution for every problem I had, got an answer for every question. Even the most ridiculous ones.

So I disagree that the community is bad, quite the contrary. Every bit of info is here. You just have to read and understand what you've read.

And people here are nothing but helpful (most of them, at least).

:)

P.S. as long as your G2 boots up, it is not bricked and it can be salvaged.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urielejh:
Hi all,

it's been a while since i started following you and 'till now i haven't had any issue at all.. over the last few days i started experimenting with my N4.

As of now i keep in unlocked, rooted with stock kernel and.. no custom recovery. Bad thing is i've done some crap steps, other than not having a recovery:

1 after unlocking/rooting, i uninstalled some pre-build apps (korean/pying/imeikeyboard/exchange..)

2 everything seemed fine

3 today i tried sideloading 5.1.1 and, of course, it gave me error "couldn't find 'koreanblabla'"

4 i deleted those apps from the ota

5 it passes the apps check but failed upon signature verification - no surprise, i was expecting this.

Now, how do i have that - modified - ota signature ok?

Wipe is not an option, i'd rather buy a new phone lol

Installing those app neither, i'd wanna stick with "my way" : F

I've found these.

jhshi.me/2013/12/02/how-to-create-and-sign-ota-package

source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/sign_builds.html

BTW, along with overclock.net - and reddit lol -, that's one of the best communty driven portal.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariesgodofwar:
Due to the way 5.0+ does signature checks, if you are even just rooted with stock recovery and no other changes, you have to unroot and revert to stock to install the OTA. It now checks the whole partition and will error if even a byte is out of place. You can either do that, or just flash the images directly, which I find to be the easiest.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viktorlj:
Why you don't use factory image and edit flash-all.bat. Remove -w switch and flash. You will lose root and recovery but all apps and data remains.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urielejh:
whatwaitwhat?!

what will that do? :eek: is that similar to windows' refresh?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viktorlj:
Yes, it will install complete system without wipe. But you must edit flashall.bat and remove -w switch.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urielejh:
what if i reinstall those uninstalled apps? will the integrity check be ok?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viktorlj:
If you decide to use factory image there is no integrity check.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urielejh:
mmm
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariesgodofwar:
No, because you had to be rooted to remove them in the first place. You have to be unrooted to use the OTA, it has nothing to do with those apps. If you replace, you will just get an error at a different part of the OTA sideload process.

Use the images, as another poster said, you can remove -w from flashall to prevent the wipe (I prefer to always wipe to ensure a clean install however. I don't have anything which I don't backup or can't reinstall quickly)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urielejh:
ok, guys, think i'm done.

using Nexus Root Toolkit i've flashed 5.1.1 update without wiping.

Thanks. pity that i didn't make it the hard way lol
