[G2 General] finbaar:
I owned a G2 from August 14 to Feb 15. I enjoyed it but mainly ran custom roms. Now after 2 years and lots of other phones I have another G2 in my life. So some thoughts on it:

The screen is still good even in the era of 2k AMOLED.

It still sets a high bar for screen to bezel ratio. It is a lot more compact than my Honor 8 that has the same size screen.

I flashed the latest Lollipop stock ROM and it runs fine. The SD800 was a fine SoC and it can handle most things.

However the black G2 is still a shiny sweaty fingerprint magnet. It doesn't feel premium in anyway.

Should I keep it? I think I might as it is a decent spare phone to have kicking about.
[G2 General] zizuka:
Sounds like the only thing you dont like is the "fingerprint magnet". If it bothers you that much then sure change it.

I've had mine since 2014 and im keeping it. Still enjoying its performance, battery life, features (double tap to wake/sleep & rear keys) and overall size.
[G2 General] finbaar:
The one thing I miss from a "modern" phone is a fingerprint sensor. I love the back buttons though, I enjoyed them in the G3 G4 as well
[G2 General] rdlegy:
I had a g2 for about and year and broke it's screen and sold it broken. I tried other phones after that mainly xiaomi's and they were great, but 2 weeks ago I found a cheap G2 that was in new condition and for 70$ I bought it. After so many phones this one is my favourite and was always my favourite. It is a very good phone and is as good as the mid ranged phones from these days.

The only thing that it will need is a new battery and is good to go. Even tho it is a 3 year old phone I can get through the day with one charge and 3 h SOT mid usage.

With a new battery it will be at least 25% better. I love this phone and for the price you can't get anything near it
[G2 General] albsat:
I keep using it over 3 years. I replaced the battery with a no brand name. I could keep it till its death, if there was an option to add a sdcard. It doesn't obviously, so I will substitute it, till I have free space no more.

If possible : I wish it was possible to replace the sim slot with a hybrid slot. This kind of mod would give at least another year of life to this phone, by adding a sdcard storage.
[G2 General] particleman14:
I've been using this model since it's release date and its still super solid. I've gone through 2 G2 and its so nice because they are only around $100 to replace them if I need to for whatever reason. good battery life and screen are still great on this phone. running apps and general browsing doesn't really feel much slower than other phones.

The only thing is the 32gb onboard memory runs out quick and no sd card. What i did to get around is have a otg usb key chain to keep extra files on if I need it. not the most elegant solution but the usb drive is so small its barely protrudes from the phone when plugged in. I replaced the battery and SOT times are 4+ hours no problem.

I will keep this phone for a long while or until maybe SD 900 platform comes around. I've also become used to the back buttons and I wish other phones would have it as well.
[G2 General] flyinjoe13:
I love this phone so much that I actually own 4 of them. My wife and I have them and I bought two spares that I use to play with (custom ROMs and theme testing) and as backups in case either of ours break. The only thing that will drive me away from this phone is when new ROM support stops. If it ever gets to the point where developer stop supporting the device, then I will move on. Until then, it's G2 for me.
[G2 General] tekweezle:
This is a good phone for the money.

[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] IRoN MaN9:
Guys some one please explain to me the difference between these 3 builds of Android 7.1.1 for galaxy note3

I know that aicp and rr roms come with different options, but want to know which one are the base rom? i mean which one the main android os that the other devs take and modify on to create roms for our devices?

Thanks [emoji4]
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] rahulkheria:
Lineage os is the main rom
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] GtlsGamr:
Right now for our device RR and AICP are based on lineageOS. Unfortunately RR 5.8.1 was deleted from AICP thread for some reason.
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] IRoN MaN9:
I assume RR 5.8.1 deleted because tincho5588 announced yesterday there's new building of lineageos rom
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] IamVaibhav:
No its because payne was not the official maintainer for the rr for our device and yet he released rr rom. I guess that's what he told!!

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

And your this post is soon going to be deleted as this forum is for android development not polls and discussion so better delete is soon?
[Galaxy Note 3 Exynos Android Development] IRoN MaN9:
Maybe, but what's wrong if the main dev. Of RR not committed to his post! Let's others dev do the job instead of him.

Anyway about this position i can't delete it hope manager do that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Saiyajin:
Ok guys, i've a really huge problem: the speaker and the microphone of my wizard don't work anymore. Don't know why - there was no impact on the phone (it didn't fall out of my pocket or so). The two speakers on the sides are working sometimes but the one for calling doesn't work. Even the microphone doesn't work anymore - no one can hear me and I can't hear anyone. This sucks!

I thought of a software problem, but even after the third different rom I've had the same symptoms. I'm thinking about disassembly the phone with the service manual.

What do you guys think? What should I do? Anyone experienced this?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Falker01:
Had something similar

Speakers weren't working at all so i had to use my headset:mad: . 3 minutes later I got furious and took the phone and headset and repeatedly plugged and unplugged it to and from the jack.

it actually worked somehow, i was able to use the speakers again:D

I guess my actions caused it to short itself back to normal
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wassup:
You can easily replace it for about 5 bucks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Saiyajin:
Well, i'm goning to take the phone apart to fix this - maybe the contacts to the speaker are just corroded. But I have to say, that the phone sucks! Nothing's working like it should.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Socekim12:
I'm having this same problem, it happens for a while then it fixes itself. anyone find a solution?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] DaltonResearch:
Fix

The contacts that switch between the headset and the internal speaker/mic are most likely not making a good connection. You can take it apart and clean them/replace the jack.

Another (much easier) approach is to put some dielectric grease (auto parts stores carry it, it's used to keep spark plug boots from sticking to spark plugs or coil packs) on the contacts of the headset jack (the part that goes into the phone) and plug it in and out a dozen times. This will usually fix it for a long time. I've fixed several Wizards this way, and they haven't failed yet.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bobcfg:
I just had this exact same problem for the first time last night, I was playing a computer game on my desktop and a plane flew over head and my wifi internet went out and my phone did exactly what your talking about.

It was just weird that it all happened at the same time. I can hear anything out of the speaker except for when someone is calling or i get a text.

Thank god i found this post, I will try doing something crazy or maybe cleaning it out.

Be checkin' back!

Very smooth rom and the only 7.1.1 with working night light
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] manfio:
smooth, stable and super fastest rom...

the best nougat rom for flo
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] GuestK0063:
Just trying it out, looks pretty smooth and nice for now but I have one question, I've seen that on few other devices CarbonROM supports signature spoofing, but not on flo. Can it be added in the future to this tablet too?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] Fgtfv567:
I really do love this ROM. It's never crashed on me, no major hangups. It's super fast and fluid, but I have a couple of minor issues with it.

-YouTube 1080p60fps gives me audio, but all I see is a black screen.

-Watching YouTube at 720p60fps (not lower resolutions) and doing any type of scrolling, be it the comments or split screen, will cause the video to pause until scrolling stops (audio is fine). Hell even tapping the screen stops the video a little bit.

-Opening multiple subreddits on top of one another in Slide for Reddit causes major amounts of stuttering.

So is this a raw performance issue? Can other people with this ROM check for these issues too? Do other ROMs have these issues? I'm thinking about trying Resurrection Remix just to see if such problems exist just for this ROM or for my tablet in general.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] shrinivasanp:
Somehow the WiFi on my Nexus keeps disconnecting, does anyone have any idea how to repair it ?

Otherwise it is indeed a very good ROM.

Regards
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] poad42:
That's probably a hardware issue WiFi works fine on mine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] shrinivasanp:
No, it is not.

I have tried all the ROMs, WiFi works in all of them without problems !

Anyway, I have installed Validus now and there is no problem !

Regards
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] poad42:
Lol, both ROMs use the same sources, and I wouldn't have released the ROM if WiFi didn't work properly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] shrinivasanp:
I am sorry, I am a noob as far as these ROMs etc., are considered !

The problem may very well be something with my Nexus or the router or something like that.

Once again I am sorry.

Regards
[Nexus 7 (2013) Original Android Development] coremania:
Very nice Rom, stable and fluid.

It's los kernel but it would be nice to add dt2w in the next builds. I know glitch and elemental got it, but on stock it would be nice too, thx

NFC and Bluetooth aren't really working for me. Not sure if hardware on my used tablet went bust or if it's a kink that needs to be worked out in the ROM

Both work fine for me. Was it not working on previous ROMs ? Also you sure you clean flashed?

I've done a clean install with pico Gapps but don't have an app drawer button. Am I missing something?

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't realize it was the TINY arrow that doesn't seem to be working for me in landscape mode. To be clear, drawer opens in portrait but not in landscape.

[Sprint LG G4] Kujila:
My G3 died and Sprint gave me a NIB G4

G3 LS990 has lots of custom roms and support, and this whole forum section looks dead

Am I on a dead-end phone with this new G4 LS991?

Am I doomed to use OTA forever?

How can I get the bootloader unlocked for TWRP?

I was running Android 7.1.1 on my G3. I don't even see anything like that for G4?

Did I just get completely and utterly screwed over by getting this phone? Aka, is it time for me to ebay the phone I have had less than an hour and switch off Sprint?

Let me know what you can, thanks guys!
[Sprint LG G4] TheMadScientist:
what firmware is ure g4 on?

rite one u can root locked tight bootloader no twrp no more

but again if rite firmware u can root??

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

either way it is dead

no development at all left

other than one crappy rom im working on
[Sprint LG G4] klurrant:
1) Yes development is pretty much dead for the Sprint G4, for at least a year maybe and no telling how long more, probably ever.

2) Secondly, you should be aware that the LG G4's high rate of hardware problems (LG and all the carriers are aware of this too.). Called bootloop. Try temporarily reactivating with sprint and tell them you want another handset you would be happy with.

How to flash this stuff ? There are no .img files for system and vendor... Has anyone tried flashing this ?
[Shield Android TV General] pendragon666:
I just came here to tell you that this post saved my life twice. If you flash this with TWRP you can get your system back aftera brick. for me the nvidia method does not work, so this is the only way i managed to fix my shield. TWRP will give you erors but just reboot and you are saved.

Any chance of getting a full 5.2 image since I can't update ?
[Shield Android TV General] dcarter33:
THANK YOU

:good:
[Shield Android TV General] sammarbella:
I'm waiting to update my Shield TV 2015 16 GB to 5.2 , this little update is not like the full OTAs we got before (5.02/5.1).

I unlocked My Shield TV 16 GB bootloader and flashed TWRP and got root on 3.1 (MM) then it upgraded to 5.'2 and 5.1 without problem.

The 5.2 full OTA rooted image will be available soon in the Nvidia SHIELD Developer OS Images site:

https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-developer-os-images

I can wait a few days more...
[Shield Android TV General] pendragon666:
Yeah, but i can't get that method to work, it tells me the data is too large when flashing system.img
[Shield Android TV General] SimonTS:
What has this got to do with the OP? Start your own thread for your topic, don't jump on someone else's.
[Shield Android TV General] guardiman:
Hi,

could you explain in more detail how you flashed the OTA through TWRP?

Thanks in advance!
[Shield Android TV General] pendragon666:
Well, you just flash twrp and then the recovery image. You can find how to get twrp onto shield fromnvidia shield zone. It's a fan site with good tutorials.
[Shield Android TV General] guardiman:
Hmm curious, from your previous post I got the idea you had flashed the PUBLIC*.zip or some content from it inside twrp. so you are saying you took the recovery image file, flashed it as if a zip install file and it unblocked the shield, right? (just confirm if this is it and if this works you are getting a big thanks!)
[Shield Android TV General] pendragon666:
Well, i flashed the link from the first post. It failed, but it fixed my shield. I wouldnt recommend doing this. It was my last ditch effort before i realized that the nvidia tutorial for recovery is wrong
[Shield Android TV General] guardiman:
Well the link submitted in this thread is for the non-pro so I can't really use it, but the method you use is interesting because it would be my only way out of the stuck nvidia logo.

My Shield Pro 2015 has been stuck in nvidia logo for a long time. I tried to throw at it all images from nvidia dev and non-dev up to 7.0.1 using the nvidia method as described in their webpage.

I get to recovery and flash successfully all files but the nvidia logo still stays. I can boot TWRP and even browse the disk contents, so I wanted to flash an OTA PUBLIC*.zip in TWRP like you did, but there seems to be none available.

I found a possible compatible file here but I have no idea if it is compatible with my shield pro and even how to flash it like you did.
[Shield Android TV General] yuseigachi:
Hey guardiman have you been able to fix your shield pro? If it still hasn't worked out, then maybe I know a solution. Let me know.
[Shield Android TV General] guardiman:
Hi, yuseigachi

No, I haven't. The shield is still waiting for some available time to try a hard drive replacement. The thread leading to this option is here:

https://xdaforums.com/shield-tv/help/nvidia-shield-tv-pro-2015-stuck-nvidia-t3780927

If you have an alternative option to try, I'd be more than happy to go for it ;)
