[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
Sorry to say, but I think LG needs Fedex to verify the phone was never delivered. They might think you are running a scam to get two phones. Just a thought, and I am in no way saying you did anything wrong or that it is fair to you. I feel bad for you and hope it is settled soon.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cipher77:
no, no...i totally get that aspect. they're putting in their due diligence.

totally get it.

however, since it was lost while with fedex and they have no tracking history of it getting beyond the point of their local warehouse everyone involved knows there was never any customer contact.

so, i had that solidly in my court.

oddly, i received an email from lg this AM saying they received my device YESTERDAY at their facility and it is about to be tested and repaired.

welllllllllll, since i was going to call anyway....

i called. again.

except this time i took the redditor's advice and called the spanish call center.

like he/she said...they speak perfect english and are located in the states.

not sure any of that had anything to do with anything...but, it's worth noting.

also, they were a LOT more pleasant to deal with.

i suppose the spanish speaking call center receives a lesser volume of calls leaving these guys a lot less jaded???

at any rate...i have a promise of a call from LG on monday or tuesday.

the plan is to send me a new device and they'll take over the issue with fedex.

as of today's call...they're hoping i'll have a new device in my hands by the end of next week.

i'm not going to hold my breath - i've had other CSRs tell me "they'll call me back."

however, the new RMA email seems to indicate that they are, in fact, making progress in moving this forward for me.

fingers crossed.

there are always more interesting things going on in these threads...but, i'll update as things move along.

thanks everyone for even bothering to read about these escapades.

xda rocks...OG evo and onward!
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
A very cool feature of prime IMO is unlimited cloud storage for photos. Even cooler I have fire TV and can use my cloud photos as the screensaver.

But I only just started with prime and today I went into settings and there was a vague warning about having a rooted device (security reasons.)

I get that if the wrong user had root privs on your device they could wreak havoc but I've used rooted devices with other online storage services and never got this message. Is there something I'm missing or is this amazon overstating risks to keep the ecosystem strictly amazon? I'm not overly concerned but if anyone has thoughts please share.
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
Some manufacturers don't matter if you root your device. Amazon does, and that's why it's advising you not to root it. FireOS is Android at heart, and the recommendations for Android apply to FireOS. Always be careful not to do anything reckless if you're rooted or you could mess it for real. If you're going to tinker with the phone, make a backup first.

If you're careful, everything's going to be alright.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
I fully understand the potential risks involved if I do something reckless with root privs. That's not really what I meant. Its the message within settings of amazon photo app "Using a rooted device is not advised and may expose your information to 3rd parties"

That I'm afraid to say I don't get? What is amazon suggesting? My understanding is these pics are being stored on amazon servers which in reality should be more secure than any home network I could secure.

I'm not too concerned. Its just the first time I've seen a message like that and it doesn't make total sense...maybe if there were a security breach I might fear the personal info amazon has of mine might be at risk but how does my rooted phone factor in? Or for that matter my rooted kindle fire or both rooted fire TVs? Or my computers, which I obviously have root privs on?

Don't want to make a mountain out of this. I guess inquisitive. On the other hand, you shouldn't be too careless with personal data...
[Amazon Fire Phone] sergio687:
I think it's because there're some methods for rooting that come from shady sources (I mean Kingroot), and they might come with backdoors, security vulnerabilities and other nasty stuff. When rooting it's always recommended to check it comes from a trusted source.
[Amazon Fire Phone] KLit75:
Well that makes more sense. Thanks. Like most others I used kingroot but went through that long tedious process of getting rid of it and using supersu.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasiq224:
I am having some serious battery drain with my Galaxy S5 G900F.

The problem only occurs when i am connected to mobile data. When i'm on wifi, I get about 5 hours screen on time. But when mobile data is running (like when i'm not home) my phone drains like 1-2% percent without the screen even being on! and it gets really really hot even if its just in my pocket! I can probably get about 1-2 hours screen on time with data enabled, which is really bad. I'm wondering if there is any known wakelock hat only runs with mobile data running...

I really need help. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lummujaj:
All devices in lollipop have this issue. The sulution is to get back at 4.4.4 ... its called "mobile radio active" ...aplications keep using data even after you close them. Example check fb viber chrome. Check connection time.it shows the exact time you where in data plan. So i really suggest you to get back at 4.4.4 like i did. Bcoze i use 4g/lte 80% of the time

Xperia is running LP 5.0.2 and I have installed GFmgr 1.98 for lollipop on the Z3+ and have updated firmware from R350XX... BOA2, BNG2, BND8 using Odin as suggested on the various forum/posts located here on xda. The GF mgr starts up fine, however, I cannot get GF to pair. BT finds the GF but cannot pair.... I've read that other ppl have had this problem but could not find a post for their similar question. any help you can muster would greatly be appreciated. btw, I've spent the last 2 nights search xda various forums and have downloaded many apk's and firmware but to no success.

you dont need to code

if you want root, you must do something, that isn't hard to do

download the rootedsystem.rar

unpack it

copy it to internal storage

put phone in download mode (turn off, plug in usb cable while holding up)

open cmd in adb folder (download LG_Root.zip or something like that)

type ports.bat

type Send_Command //./COM* (change * to the number shown by ports (second))

type id

type the command for H955

wait till # is shown

type LEAVE

have you unrar? the .img is ca. 3,7 GB big

then you did that and it doesn't work, then dump the System with this code:

and copy it to your harddrive and try to open it with ext2explorer

[LG G Flex 2] Le_Zouave:
It use a recent version or winrar.

I have winrar 4.20 and it didn't work like you. But the newest version is 5.21 or 5.30 beta.

I was too lazy to find a working version of winrar so I tried 7-zip and it didn't work too.

But lastest stable version of 7-Zip is 9.2 dated from 2010... The beta is 15.06 and is quite recent.

Short story, you can decompress with 7-Zip 15.06 beta.

Nothing to do with linux, but I guess your rar software on linux is up to date.

I understand why scene groups use a very old version of winrar.

[LG G Flex 2] lyphe:
You do need to update to 5.1.1. You need STOCK, NON-ROOT 5.0.1, then update to V6 5.1.1, then V7 5.1.1, then use the tutorial to root V7.

[LG G Flex 2] Alex_XV6700:
First you have to flash back to stock (if you are on ZV5 flash ZV5 tot)

Then you have to take the OTA updates first. You have to be on ZV7 to use rootedsystem.img (zv7) for your device.

You dont need (zv5) system.img to recover your device.

If you think you can mess up just leave the rootedsystem.img on internal SD of your Flex2 and that will help you recover in case anything gets messed up after rooting.
