Is there any better setup for maximum battery life?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sharksanks:
First day with the phone, and so much grief. Never did I expect it.

I am able to transfer music etc from the PC Suite in mass storage mode, but i can't transfer contacts. The sync in progress bar comes up and its stuck there without moving. Then it says ''no response from the phone''.

Deleted usb drivers using usbdeview, and re plugged the phone, but no relief.

Was having other trouble with a 4gb SD Card ''preparing SD Card, checking for errors''. Will be trying to return it tomorrow, i think its corrupted.

So put the original 2 gb in it after a factory reset. 2gb card working but cannot sync contacts from pc to phone. is there any other software, way?

Beginning to wonder if i should have bought this phone.... Haven't slept a wink.

Trying another factory reset with the 2gb card in it - Which surprisingly was the only things that works! I can sync contacts, but i think this is a really irritating way. Im gona have to do another one after i get a 4gd SD.

LG Software developers - do ya'll think we like to spend our lives solving your puzzles??!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zecanilis:
The new LG suite software has a warning to you turn on wifi or 3g conection, before doing the sync.

Have you done that?

Cheers
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sharksanks:
Hmmm. I haven't got that warning, and ive checked that the PC suite version is the latest one. anyhow, i never leave it on, so maybe that is the cause

Hello, just bought mine and is very happy with it, considering i bought this to replace my iphone 3gs. pretty much a downgrade, but a new ground nonetheless since its my 1st android phone.

now, people having problems syncing, ive been trying to figure this out since yesterday. heres what u need to make sure to sync contacts/mail/calendar:

-make sure u have 3g/H signal on top of your notifications.its network dependent, u might have to adjust it on settings, network, mobile network, access point names. choose one that gives u 3g signal

-make sure 2g only signal option is unchecked

-make sure your phone is visually on. adjust your screen timeout on settings, display, timeout setting and put it on 30 mins so your phone doesnt sleep.

try syncing it again.

hope this helps.

LG Optimus P500 Outlook sync issue resolution

Hi All,

As suggested in this earlier thread, I was able to resolve the outlook sync issues. Though it might sound weird, you need to have the wi-fi or 3G data turned on, for you to be able to successfully do a sync. I kept the wi-fi on and was able to do a sync of my contacts and calendar, though there were some repeat entries in my calendar. I will have to work that out!

Here is what you should be doing:

Connect you phone to the computer

Ensure that you aren't switching on the mass storage

Keep your wi-fi or 3G data turned on

Launch LG PC suite IV and start synching.

There is an update available for the PC sync suite, which i downloaded today. I am seeing an improvement in the performance of the application, when I switch between contacts to messaging to calendar etc., The latest version is 4.2.46.20101118.

Hi all,

Houston we have a problem:D

I'm having problems connecting my phone with PC Suite. I was able to cennect it in "mass storage mode"and instal PC Suite from it, but i can't connect phone with PC Suite. It starts loading and then the error comes out saying either; "device cannot be opend, it's beeing used by another program" or "not responding". If I then press OK, it throws me into the LG Air Sync, with the same errors.

I tried what @xeboslavvb said, but only with 3G, cos i don't have wi-fi(yet:D).

Need help, please:) It's my first smarthphone so i might be missing something obvious.

tnx
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thegost4u:
Well, you can use MyPhoneExplorer instead, so easy and fast :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mustang993:
So i can use it to sync phonebook, update to 2.2.1 etc. It wont "hurt" the phone?

I'll try it. tnx

I would still like to have PC Suite working, so if there are any ideas...

edit:

LOL, i don't know what is wrong with it. I instaled MyPhoneExplorer on computer, connected the phone and then in the MyPhoneExplorer another error " Connection to phone could not be established:No device attached to USB"?

edit2:

All I had to, was to connect the phone to the backplate USB port, the front one only worked in "mass storage mode"... :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thegost4u:
First, download Myphoneexplorer to your pc(website) and your phone(from market)

then open the program on your optimus, it will give you 2 options:

1-Wifi(Working if your pc and your optimus on the same router)

2-USB(should set Debugging Mode to ON)

select which connection you prefer, then press connect on PC program (you have to select that you're connect an Android phone from tools)

Tadaaaa.. connected

sorry for long post, but it could be useful to noobs :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mustang993:
Tnx, but like I said, all i did was connect it via. "backplate" USB port and it worked. :)Don't know why...

If my phone were to be confiscated, is it possible to wipe it so that if they were to hook it up to a monitoring system to see any and all activity (such as if it were turned on and when, if calls were placed, messages sent, games played, etc) they wouldn't be able to check?
[Droid X General] SysAdmin-X:
Yes I believe there are programs that allow you to remotely wipe the phone via a text message
[Droid X General] btucker2003:
...and...?
[Droid X General] zwade01:
Thanks for the reply, I didn't know you could do that. I really just want to know if I wipe data/cache via clockwork, will that erase any info leading to discovery of the use of my phone.

Basically, I work a job regulated by the federal government and they are extremely stringent on cell phone use (zero tolerance, even during lunch) but most everybody uses them. If something stupid happens, even if it's not my fault, they will confiscate and check my usage. If used, heavy fines are in order. If someone I'm working with makes a boo boo at work, can I wipe before the feds get their hands on it to rid my phone of its usage?

[Droid X General] Olson-clan:
Just know that information stored on a memory card will leave a trail behind much like a harddrive. To completely make it non-retrievable you would need to "scrub" the memory card. There are software available but it would mean you would have to remove the card and run it through the "scrub" via a computer. All that being said, they would really have to work to restore the erased information and I don't know what lengths your employer is willing to go to to catch you.

Last night after i did my nightly backup, i noticed that i couldn't exit the menu. After i did a backup, no buttons will work. I had to do a battery pull. I did three different backups, having to do a battery pull each time. Menu works fine, until i do the backup. It even says backup complete. The 3rd time i deleted the nandroid folder before running the backup, yet the problem is still there. I'm using the org HBOOT 0.76 eng, AMON_RA 1.8.0, CM 6.1.1, Zendroid kernel. Only thing i can think of is re-flashing the recovery and formatting the card. Anyone had this happen before???

Yea i do, i keep only the last 4 though. Just thought i would update this in-case it happens to someone else. To fix this, i had to repartition my sdcard in recovery, then reinstall my ROM. I guess what happen was when i installed the ROM on the new sdcard, without partitioning the new sdcard, it installed it wrong. This was causing the error.

Sounds like something is over-writing your recovery. "The moving over writer having writ moves on."

So start with all new "stuff" (os, recovery,downloads)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aph:
The recoveries are not very good about telling you what the Nandroid error was. You should run it via adb just as described:

adb shell

nandroid-mobile.sh -b (or I think -r for restore?)

Then you get a much better idea of what's going on. Happened to me once because my battery was too low to do a backup; recovery didn't tell me why, but running it from the shell did.

Ok so i am pretty confused, i have rooted my phone. But not got S-OFF because of it being pvt4. Does this mean i cant flash a custom ROM?

I really wanna flash this

Also, is it essential i have to make a goldcard?

HTC Desire 2.2 (Rooted) On TMOBILE UK with PVT4 and HBOOT 0.93
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Is your device PVT4 old (20000) or PVT4 new (40000)?

Read this thread to find out how to check this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853583

You shouldn't have any problems rooting and flashing custom ROMs if your device has a PVT4 20000 erasesize. Use unrEVOked v3.22, safe and best successful method so far.

If your PVT4 has an erasesize of 40000, then i know of only of certain number of ROMs that have been confirmed to work with this type of device - Oxygen, LeeDroid's, ReflexTSenseHD, and MIUI.

You should not have a problem flashing any of these custom ROMs with the modified CWM-AlphaRev Recovery 2.5.1.3, which you must install with unrEVOked if your phone has an erasesize of 40000

As you were originally branded to T-Mobile, you will need to create a Gold Card only if you want to revert back to your original stock ROM (i.e. later on for warranty reasons). You should be able to find your original RUU by searching shipped-roms.com.
[Desire General] :
Thanks for the detailed reply!

I dont really care about the warrenty thing etc, and i could always do that later i guess.

Ill have a check now on what it is.

So will apps2sd still work etc?

EDIT:

Ok, i have checked and i have 2000! YUPPEEEE!

I have already rooted with unrEVOked, does this mean that i need to again? i also have clockwork
[Desire General] MasDroid:
A2SD+/Data2SD will work fine for you and since you are already rooted, you will not need to re-root or reinstall clockwork either. Flash away in confidence :)
[Desire General] :
Awesome, do i need to make a partition to do a2sd? and does it matter i dont have S-OFF?

Cheers for the help man
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Yes you will need to, all custom roms require this prerequisite really. You can use Rom Manager to achieve this, it allows you to create up to an SD-EXT size of 512 MB for dedicated app data space. If you require a bigger EXT partition use AmonRa and flash with unrevoked, or use GParted - there are plenty guides on the forum on how to do this.

Yes, you dont need s-off, unless you want full root access to your phone.

Edit: sorry for the delay in replying... still trying to get use to swype.
[Desire General] :
Not too bothered about full root tbh, aslong as i have a2sd.

Cheers for the help mate
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Then you are good to go after you make your ext partition :)

Just backing up my SD card now, the only thing i will miss is the sence clock :(
[Desire General] MasDroid:
I don't use that clock anymore, nor do I use sense UI... I'm a fully fledged miui convert ;)

If you want the sense clock, search the marketplace for 'sense clock widget', there are many variations - customisable too :)
[Desire General] :
Yeah ill have a look, i might look at some other options too.

I <3 the clock though, its actually one of the reasons i got an HTC lol
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Well if that's your thing then by all means, go for it :)
[Desire General] MasDroid:
I totally understand where you are coming from though... I used to love sense ui and everything it had to offer but once I tried miui, I was amazed at how good it actually was/is, running out of superlatives for it :)

You could also give the DHD roms a go (ported from Desire HD), as they include the cool new sense features.
[Desire General] scorror:
Sorry for hijacking the thread, I've read the discussion so far but I have a question, it seems SeanBond did not debrand b4 rooting and went ahead to install a custom rom. Pls can I do same as I'm presently using a O2 branded phone, do advise me
[Desire General] MasDroid:
No need to apologise and its good that you are making the effort to ask before a mistake is made, so i appreciate that.

He did debrand by using unrEVOked - it does not require you to use a Gold Card for it and provides you with root access (software root) to the phone. Only when you want to return to stock rom, you then you will need to create and use a Gold Card before running the appropriate RUU. If you want to create a Gold Card, use the one in my sig below.
[Desire General] scorror:
Thanks. Do I need to create a gold card first b4 installing a custom rom or when I want to return to stock. Or if I'm on custom rom it's possible to still create a gold card thereafter
[Desire General] :
Yeah i didnt make a goldcard.

Was pretty easy, flashed right from ROM manager.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
You have two options here.

If you are branded and want to root in order to install a custom ROM, then you either create a Gold Card to unlock the phone's CID, just use unrEVOked, which does not require the creation of a Gold Card and provides you with root access to your phone, thus allowing you to flash custom roms, custom kernels, and custom radios. I don't know the full workings of unrEVOked, but it bypassed your phones CID lock feature and does not require you to create a Gold Card.

You

only

need to create a Gold Card if you want to return to stock rom as you were originally network branded.
[Desire General] :
How do they know? there is nothing visual that shows its branded?
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Software branding, for instance, when you boot the phone, it will show your network carrier splashscreen, like T-Mobile, or 02, or Orange. Also, their own icons will also be visible on the homescreen, for example.
[Desire General] :
Yeah, like the tiiinnnyy "W'n'W" on the internet icon for "Web 'n' Walk"
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Yeah... that 'crap' :D
