Hi All!!

How can I check for android and apps like youtube updates in the LG Optimus One??

Thanks !!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raylgo:
Check the Market for updates for your downloaded apps. It should be under the Downloads tab.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nakamashi:
Thanks for the answer!

And if I want to check for android versions updates?

Because the LG Optimus One don't have the option "Check for updates" in the "About Phone Menu".
[Optimus One, P500, V General] raylgo:
I'm not sure about that but the LG PC suite said that my phone was up to date... Maybe someone else can help. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rockstar_7:
yep.. its possible to check for android updates... and you can do this..

by starting up the "update notification" app in the main apps menu ..

However, its pointless to check as the optimus one has no updates yet..

My optimus one (is a middle-east model called p503) has v10_c or something.. and

Eugenes Froyo That Doesn't Brick (Odin)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
if you do decide to use odin, make sure and at least try to disable voodoo beforehand. (It saves alot of trouble, it is however; possible to use odin without doing this, using froyo that doesen't brick... but I would not recommend it unless its your absolute last resort.)

I would try simply disableing voodoo and see if that fixes it.

Today I tired to flash a new ROM on my phone (captivate) and to say the least, it did not work. I tried to revert it back to factory using the ODIN3 One Click Downloader. That did not work. It recognizes the phone in download mode, then when I choose either master clear or start it just hangs. I left it plugged in for like an hour on each mode. I tried restarting the computer. I searched Google, the vibrant, and this captivate forum. I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions? Thanks everyone!

So I am a proud owner of an Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (I9000M). Recently I've installed a rom, Doc_V9.0.1_BUJP8 and everything works fine, except the internet.

I can still use apps that needs to connect to the internet, but when it comes time to vist some web pages, it doesn't work.

Anyone have a solution?

[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] cmccollough:
Anyone here use one of those cordless charging pads where you can simply place your phone on the pad for a charge? I am looking into purchasing one and would like to hear about anyone's experience with them.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bluegizmo83:
So far as I know, no one makes one that is specifically compatible with the HTC G2/Desire-Z...

You can still use most of them, but they will require to device to be plugged into the G2/Desire-Z and then for that to be placed onto the charging pad, which kind of defeats the purpose of "wireless charging"
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] cmccollough:
Oh i didnt even know they were made for specific phones, that sucks. Well, thanks for the heads-up.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] bluegizmo83:
Ok well let me re-phrase that... The charging pads or mats are not made for specific phones. But the accessories you must buy to make them charge wireless are. For example, to wireless charge a Droid X on the PowerMat, you have to purchase a special battery cover/door for the Droid X. For the true "no wires" effect on any of the wireless charging mats out there, it requires buying a special battery and/or battery cover, if they make one for your device. No one has made one for the HTC Desire-Z/G2 yet that I'm aware of.

i have one

I have one(Power Mat), use it for my HD2. Works very well. Seems to help with battery life, as it seems to charge better a little bit slower. takes about 45 minutes longer the charge my hd2, but lasts hours longer since i got it. Still waiting for a powermat battery cover for my g2, but havent seen one yet. Got mine at walmart for 80 bucks, i think it was well worth it. very easy to charge, dont have to worry about plugging it in all the time, as you just set it down, and it charges.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ZombieUsr:
Does anyone know if the HD2 battery could fit inside the G2...if that's the case, you could mod it to fit. Like the Evo battery for the G2
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ChaoticEko:
no, its different. Besides, its isnt the battery that make the powermat work. Its an aftermarket battery cover. You still use your stock battery. The battery cover could not be modded to fit either, as it is completely different in size.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ZombieUsr:
Ah that sucks...thanks...was hoping it was an all in one cover battery.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Kalandros:
"Wireless" yet there's a wire into the wall.

How do you charge your phone when you're talking on it?

Hold the mat up to your head?

When they have the ability to use EMF to wirelessly charge your phone,

All you'll need to do is be within the vicinity of the charger.

That's wireless.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardcoreplur:
Bump... =)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djca:
It's probably due to the colon. It's not an allowed filename character in Windows systems since it's used as a drive letter separator (e.g., C:\). The space should not be a problem.

Alright, so I rooted my droid and couldn't figure out to unroot it, so I Googled it and found out how to get the 2.2.1 OTA. I followed the guide on Droid Life and now I'm stuck in the bootloader. I'm totally lost...But I can tell you exactly what the boot loader says:

Bootloader

30.03

Err:A5,70,70,00,1F

MEM_MAP Blank

Service Req'd

Battery OK

OK to Program

Connect USB

Data Cable

That's it...All I really want it to be completely unrooted with 2.2.1 on my Droid X. Can somebody please help me/point me to a guide that could help resolve these issues?

Thank you so much!!
[Droid X General] gmenfan83:
well pull your batt and see if it will boot up if it will not it and you never flashed the leak or took the ota as of yet then you can still use the 2.2 sbf and then once you get going update with the .340 ota and you will be unrooted on 2.2.1,here is the 2.2 sbf with instructions if needed

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...droid-x-2-2-full-sbf-leaked-download-now.html

[Droid X General] nval148:
same problem

i originally did a sbf on my dx coming from encounterics beta 3 and i sbf to froyo. i upgraded to gingerbread and tried to root my phone again. the root didnt work so i tried to sbf again and im stuck at the same error screen. ive tried many different sbf files and it always brings me back to the same bootloader screen... i dont know what else to do is there even anything to do?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I believe that you will have to SBF to .621.
[Droid X General] DRaulie2003:
When you say you upgraded to gingerbread how exactly did you go about it...if you took the ota upgrade then you're most likely on .621 and you'll have to use the .621 SBF file but if you used on of the methods where you flashed a zip file or two in CWR then you should be able to just use 1KDS's Linux SBF method and you should be up and running again. But if you did do the ota and are running .621 then DO NOT by any means use any other SBF then the .621 SBF or you'll be back in the same spot you're in now.
[Droid X General] NType3:
Please bear in mind, there are different SBFs for 30.03 and 30.04 bootloader version. Be aware of that when you download the .sbf file.

[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:

Though you can get a free acct at soocial.com, download the winmo cab to have it back up your contacts, then sync them to your live account so they will auto download to your new wp7 device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
no. the new process is that you upload all your contacts to an exchange supported server/cloud such as Windows Live (Hotmail), Gmail, or your own private one. Then you sync your phone with the exchange server and it pulls down all your contacts that way.

So reading the Beat Buy FAQ, they make it sound as if there are two different versions. A SIM locked one for $199 with two year contract from T-Mo and an unlocked one for $529. I believe this is misrepresentation but wanted to hear your thoughts.

personally id get the T-Mobile version for $199.99 bc im pretty sure a unlock code method will come up somehow and if it doesnt, then u can just ask T-Mobile for the code and get it in a week or so.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshtac:
Hi,

I dont know for sure -- but my guess is all the Nexus S phones are unlocked.

According to this thread, the Nexus One was unlocked with a contract:

talkandroid.com/android-forums/nexus-one/3426-subsidized-nexus-one-carrier-locked.html

I wouldn't take the Best Buy FAQ as gospel. For example one of the question is:

The answer is no, but then they go and say there is locked and an unlocked version. Did a 10 year old write this or what?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mactagonist:
there are no locked nexus s devices just like there were no locked nexus one devices. Some are just sold with a contract.

KIT SKU: 000000610214623829

UPC CODE: 1021462382

TGT 170-5910

Made in China

Came with 2.2.1

Also inside the battery cover to the side of the P/N I have a A

I think the MFG date is encoded in the serial number. But you have to have there code to know what it is. I know when I worked for Compaq the main boards serial number had the location date rev and serial number. We used letters to represent the different months etc.

Maybe some others with a bad display BLACK can compare to my details.
[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
I also wonder if the camera button could be a indicator? Some have reported the camera button being a slight bit different in height and texture. I can't compare at the moment but I will and get back. It seems to me when I got the last one with a bad display I really noticed the camera button was sticking out more and the texture on top of the button felt more coarse than the one I have now.
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
We could also take a look at the SYSTEM INFO in the Hboot (vol down + power). I have the "bad" screen with:

I think it may be more of just the first batch.??
[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
I have a good screen: Made in China.

Here is what's in my System info.

I currently have both made-in Taiwan & made-in China myTouch 4G.

The one made in China definitely has better screen compared to the one made-in Taiwan.

I'm going to go to the store and get it exchanged today.

Some info on the ones I have:

Made in China:

- color: black

- rooted: yes

- shipped version: 2.2.1

- LCD version: LCD-SO-C2

- FCC off center: yes

Made in Taiwan:

- color: plum

- rooted: no

- shipped version 2.2 (now is 2.2.1 after OTA update)

- LCD version: cannot check (I think it only shows if your phone is rooted)

- camera off center: yes

Other than that, other things look and feel the same to me on both phones including the buttons.

Sorry to be an echo in here, but it looks like it's definitely a matter of LCD-SH-C2 vs. LCD-SO-C2. I already posted my details here on XDA, but here are my comparisons...

Bad display...

Good display...

LCD-SH-C2 on the left side of the pic, LCD-SO-C2 on the right...
[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
@shlongwoodian you are correct I think the evidence of this is now more than sufficient. So If you want to know if your device has the bad screen for sure, root it and check the system info in hboot.

It's a shame there is no way to tell from the box.
