[myTouch 4G Accessories] ivanh3:
So I am recanting my statement that the case is tight on the phone. That is only a "half" truth. Actually, the back half of the case is okay, but the front half of the case is not tight...at all. When I hold it I can actually hear the front part of the case moving against the phone (as well as see it). This is the exact opposite of my Seidio slide on iPhone 3GS case which perfect. Very disappointed in this case.
[myTouch 4G Accessories] dot_dot_dot:
Just got the Seidio case today

It seems to fit very tightly be much sturdier than the in-store case. Love the combo of a strong, hard case and a little bit of soft grip. I have no idea if it'll take a 'punch' like a gel case, but it seems resistant.

Wish there were more options between this $30 case and the .99 ones on amazon. This may be the best case available for the mt4g right now, but I don't know if it's worth $30.

Only real complaint is that it smells weird--can only hope that fades with time. :)

Hi fellow LG WP7 users!

Just wanted to let you guys know that new free apps in the LG app store are available now. Enjoy!

New apps:

Cocktail Flow

Doodle God

Color Sprouts

envision for Basecamp

Krashlander

Colorize

Weave

Talking Ragdoll

Mobile Sommelier

Mr. Hat and the Magic cube

Network Setup
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Thanks for the heads up. I can confirm the apps are available in Canada as well.

Wow, LG really knows what they are doing with their apps. And RIGHT on time too. 60 days after launch. I wonder if this will continue. Also, seeing how the last round of apps still remain, here's hoping any new apps won't replace the old ones.

I am really not regretting buying and keeping this phone after all, even if the buttons are still a bit wobbly. If LG comes up with a phone with an IPS panel like they are doing with their Tegra2 based Android phones, but with WP7 on board, then they will have another customer...again.

PS: The total worth of the apps is around 30 dollar US...Respect LG, respect.
[Optimus 7 General] ruckstar:
That's awesome! I was actually considering buying Cocktail Flow, Doodle God and Krashlander. That's 3 quality apps right there!
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Well here is the bad news. After installing all the apps, I have discovered a sad truth. Not all the apps are up to date. The corresponding paid version in the Marketplace for an app, let's see Weave, is several releases ahead. Same with Cocktail flow. This was my initial fear as well. LG is basically offering these apps AS IS and probably will not update them past the 60-days offer. If the apps are not tied to the original developer, then basically we are screwed with no updates, and have to stick with out version 1.0 apps from LG. Nothing against LG, but if you promise something, then do it right.
[Optimus 7 General] ruckstar:
You're right. This issue should be brought up to LG if we want a chance of getting updates. They probably won't do anything about it unless people make it known that it is important.
[Optimus 7 General] gergolovebsz:
Hi! I'm one of the developers on Cocktail Flow. The current version in the LG appstore is indeed not the holiday version: this has to do with some issues with the process of getting them over to LG behind the scenes. However I can assure you that the app will soon be updated to the current version (and to other versions that would come out through the 60 days period).

The first update will still probably take some time, but after that there should be shorter delays between the marketplace and the LG store update.
[Optimus 7 General] xdapants:
Nice job! Easily one of the best looking apps on the platform.

Do you know what the plan is after the 60 day period? I assume they'd be removed from the app store, which in turn probably means no more updates. hopefully you have info to the contrary. :)

Thanks for the info, LG hasn't communicated how this works very well so far.
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
Thank you for the information. If only LG was so transparent in communicating with consumers. Cocktail Flow is one of the few apps in the marketplace that is just amazing to LOOK at, and even more impressive to use. I had it purchased before LG put it up. Amazing, and has gotten me some praise on my mixing formulas nowadays (Hehe). My question for you is whether the updates will stop after the 60 days, or will it be tied directly to your actual app...because if it is the former, that is kinda...a downer...
[Optimus 7 General] elektryk:
What happend to this apps? Two weeks ago they were available to download in LG marketplace, but now they arent.
[Optimus 7 General] bullmoose20:
+1 My device was reset after entering a pin incorrectly and now that I am trying to reinstall, these apps listed at the top of this thread are no longer on the marketplace. What is going on? Older LG apps are showing, newer ones are showing but not all of those are there:

Cocktail Flow - NO

Doodle God - NO

Color Sprouts - NO

envision for Basecamp - YES

Krashlander - NO

Colorize - NO

Weave - NO

Talking Ragdoll - NO

Mobile Sommelier - NO

Mr. Hat and the Magic cube - NO

Network Setup - YES

Any ideas?
[Optimus 7 General] A Dustman:
I know some of the apps said "60 days of free download for lg handset owners" so they probably took them down because it's been 60 days.
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
This is what I was afraid of. As of now, the free apps that were off Marketplace (not the LG developed ones) are no longer available, possibly new ones are coming.

Two matters to think about:

1- If you reset your phone, there is no way to install the apps again, even if you downloaded it before. This is due to the fact that the xap files are not stored locally on your computer or anywhere when syncing with Zune. iTunes stores an app on the synced computer no matter what, even if the app has been removed from App Store.

Basically, if you have the apps, don't delete them, until someone figures out (or at least shares with us) how to extract xap files.

2- If you have the apps right now on your phone, then the apps are STUCK with their current version, probably forever. For example, if Weave updates their app to version 2.5 or above, you are stuck with 2.3 ANYWAYS. I voiced this concern early on if you look back at the earlier posts in this thread.

So, we should either petition LG to bring back the apps, and disallow new installs, which I believe has more to do with the Marketplace's structure than LG. OR, get Microsoft to tie our apps to the Marketplace equivalents.

Also, Microsoft should adopt Apple's model of backing installed apps through its Zune software.
[Optimus 7 General] bullmoose20:
OK. So are there other ways to grab the XAP files off the LG phones using TouchXplorer or Advanced Explorer? This way we won't need to wait until LG or MSFT figures out what they are going to do?

So far, I have not had any success with either of the above tools, but that could just be me, or maybe there is a device specific tool for the LG Optimus line of phones?
[Optimus 7 General] elektryk:
I think it should be implemented in MarketPlace. Normally when you buy app, you have it assign to live acount. To solve it, they need to make an option to assign a free application OR make an option to add a "prepayed" (or free for some group of users) option to some application and some device id (ie from LG). IMHO MarketPlace architecture does not allow any of this solutions now.
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
My biggest hurdle right now is that I have to hard reset my phone, which is the only solution to get rid of the 8000FFFF error in Zune Update. This means I won't be able to back it up on my PC. So somehow I need to grab the apps before that. Heh.

Interestingly, some of the apps we downloaded from the LG app store ARE actually tied to our live accounts, which you can check using the app purchase history in the Zune client. However, the apps listed are ONLY the permanent, LG developed or endorsed ones (eg. QR Reader, Metro Scanner, etc).

None of the Marketplace pulled ones are there. So there is no record of it whatsoever.

It is as if the developers just handed LG their xap files and LG submitted them (which is almost exactly what happened), and then when you install, it is like installing a homebrew xap...

So I won't feel too bad for pulling the xap out of the phone (when I figure out how).

UPDATE:

Upon further inspection, it seems the 60-day offer apps WERE tied to the live accounts, but completely disappeared after being pulled from the Marketplace. Something similar happened with Twin Blades (the zombie killer nun game), which I still have installed, but there are no trace of it on my account.
[Optimus 7 General] Lpedraja2002:
I read about the Twin Blades game and it was pulled out of Marketplace supposedly because it was too violent and Microsoft had a no Mature game policy, that's what I think I read. Mango will supposedly have a rating system and supposedly we will start seeing more mature games.

Although I've read that Twin Blades will be released soon with the blood change to green.

[Droid 2 Global General] boomertwo:
It seems my notification light is not working regardless what I do. Has anyone else had this issue after rooting and loading the fission rom?

I'm able to reproduce it as it happened both to my phone and a family members phone. I returned to stock rom by SBF and still my notification light doesn't work anymore.

Anyway idea's on how to fix this? Is it possible that our current rooting process breaks the notification light? I have also already tried booting into safe mode to make sure it wasn't an app.
[Droid 2 Global General] botnryan:
mine works just fine running fission.
[Droid 2 Global General] boomertwo:
Well unfortunately mine is not working at all in either stock unrooted or rooted forms. This only started after I rooted the phone. Please don't tell me Motorola added a new "feature" that breaks the notification light if the phones been modified.

I would really like to figure out how to fix this :(.
[Droid 2 Global General] boomertwo:

[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
Notification light only works with screen off, you know that, right?

Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL
[Droid 2 Global General] boomertwo:
Oh I know that. Light will not work with the screen off. I've sent my self several emails to test this. I also have events in my calender at 9:00 a.m. 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. which should also be triggering the light and never do. And no I'm not sitting there with the screen on waiting for it.

Every time I sent my self and email I waited to hear the sound notification and then waiting 2 minutes after yet still no light blinks. I think finally turn on the screen to clear the notification from the bar.

Even my facebook notifications which should trigger the light don't either. So far for the last week I've had no notification lights at all no matter what I do.

Right now I've SBF my phone back to stock and have left it unrooted and I'm still not getting any notification lights with the screen off.

I'm not stupid and know that the screen must be off.
[Droid 2 Global General] anothadave:
possibly the LED is broken...these things happen. it may or may not even be related to the rooting either could of just coincedently broken at the same time. since youve returned your phone to stock and it still doesnt work then that seems the logical conclusion. not sure if someones found a service mode yet where you can test the LED, thats the next thing to try.
[Droid 2 Global General] boomertwo:
That is a possibility but I find it quite unlikely that both phones would have broken notification lights at around the same time.

Is there any applications out there that allow you to flip on the notification light without notifications? I've seen some applications that allow you to change the color of the light if your phone supports but.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] crazykiddo:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarlosTheJackal:
Having a strange problem with my carrier name & hoping to try & get an answer. I think I know why this is happening but I'm not 100% sure.

Well its hard to explain (I have attached some pictures to show the problem) but will it always displays "T-Mobile" even when I'm not connect to T-Mob directly or when im on Airplane mode.

I think this is due to the fact that its running the Stock G2 ROM & when i conect to anything other then T-Mob (Airplane mode, T-Mob & Orange Single sharing etc) it puts the Name there. I have noticed when im using T-Mob only it only displays The T-Mob name once, So I'm thinking the phone must look for what is being displayed & if its "T-Mobile" it merges it/doesn't display it or something.

Well what I'm after is a way to get rid of the extra "T-Mobile" name. Its just a small problem but its annoying me! I've search for how to edit the carrier name & I think I'm on the right path BUT I've got stuck at editing the file as there is no "T-Mobile" listed anywhere in the eri.xml.

Any ideas? :confused:

before this current configuration i almost always got between 3 and 7 ma in standby.

problem was i had huge battery drain whenever i actually used the phone. with my current setup i can actually use the phone and have it last but suddenly in standby it loses about 17ma. i have tried flightmode and even then it loses that much and ive messed with different setups in setcpu for screenoff setting.

any ideas? i always see posts about 60ma in standby but this seems unique and annoying

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pratyush_gamer:
The new firmware provided be SE will not let you to get root access.......In a solution try to flash it to the custom ROMs.........The to install custom ROMs you need Bin4ry Flash Tool.....Download the Flash Tool from here and then use below steps-:

Pro: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=826455

Mini: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825664

In order to use the flasher just try these steps:

1)Download SEUS and Pc Companion and connect the phone with them at least once (just connect)[Forget this if you done it already]

2)Make sure you have the latest java installed on your pc.

3)Download the flasher from Bin4ry (Just make sure you've downloaded the mini and not the mini pro edition).

4)Download from the same thread a Generic 2.0.A.0.504 FW and put the folder with the .sin files inside the flashtool's directory.

5)Run the flashtool, press flash and then choose the name of the folder, where the .sin files are in.

6)While the phone is off, keep the back button pressed and connect on usb until the green light is on.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
So, today i tried to update swype to the latest beta by just downloading through the website, and of course it came up with an error.. I knew it was going to happen, since swype is already installed, and is locked unless you are rooted..

So i rooted, and i made the stupid mistake of deleting the app using Titanium Backup (backed it up first using the program), and removing libSwypecore.so from system/lib (backed that one up by copy and pasting to flash card)...

Now everything i try doing winds up with a FC... The "Update to newer version of Swype - Here ya go.." thread didn't seem to help...

May some generous being please send me their swype.apk from system, or could they tell me what i have to do to get the latest beta to work? :) That would be very muchly appreciated :D
[Continuum General] dfgged:
If you can provide where the apk is, I would be more than happy to pull it and upload it for you.
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
Yes, i can :) It is in /system/app pretty sure it is called swype.apk

Thank you so much dfgged, especially for the promptness!
[Continuum General] dfgged:
Well, lol, I found and uploaded it a minute before I saw your post!

Here is the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PUM15QCO

And it was no trouble!
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
oh, haha.. Well, thanks again!

Sweet, it worked! haha..

edit:

If anyone wants to know how to install the latest beta from the swype website, just follow these steps:

1) BACKUP Swype.apk from /system/app (lol :P) and libSwypecore.so from /system/lib/ and libSwypecore.so from /system/lib/SCH-i400

2) Delete all of those

3)Download the installer from your phone, and run it.. From there, you are set :)

I guess my phone just didn't like it that i didn't like libSwypecore.so from the SCH-i400 folder..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nphaibk:
wm 6.1 is lite and fast but the scroll (contacts, options...) is really bad.

Could anyone let me know if it is possible to make scroll as smooth as in wm 6.5?

Thanks in advance :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ayyu3m:
what is the build / rom version you are using.

i m using my own build rom as in signature. and i must say compared to the roms i have tried from the forum, my scroll is so much smoother.

of coz i dont use sense 2.1 or 2.5 in my rom as the RAM is more important to me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nphaibk:
Thanks, Ayyu3m

I tried 6.1 20764 (stock rom for europe, downloaded from htc's website). There is no scroll (scroll bar is not finger friendly)! I also want pure wm, not sense, and no break effect (if scroll never stops if you don't touch it again).

I have to use sys from 6.5 21899 (com2, because I like start button on top-left). Of course, scroll is smooth, but it uses much more resources (ROM, RAM) and performance is not as good as 6.1.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] shantall1664:
hi... nphaibk

i try use sensor scroll ad it fit me..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nphaibk:
Thanks, actually, I've never used the scroll (the circle and the button). I always use the screen as main input method.

I am trying to find if possible to combine advantage of both 6.1 and 6.5
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DavidTiger:
Would also like to know if there is someway to have a better scroll in 6.1

as the transition from 6.5.3 to 6.1 you can notice the difference :(

I prefer 6.1 for speed and space while still using Sense 2.5 for CHT :cool:

To have the scrolling as good as in 6.5 would make the ultimate ROM for the diamond ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nphaibk:
Do you know which part/package in SYSs is responsible for scrolling?

and what is HTC scroll package responsible for?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ayyu3m:
actually its package in OEM and mainly set in EXT\{Device}

HTC_Scroll_(Version Number)

There are a couple of other packages like

Smart_Touch

HTC_Framework

....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nphaibk:
I have changed only SYS packages from 6.1 (original, 20764) to 6.5 21899 and unchecked all EXTs (HTC scroll, framwork, touch...) but the scroll still works perfectly as normal in wm6.5

I think scroll must be in SYS packages. Google gives something like Physicengine.dll. I could not find this package in 6.1 (SYS/Shell), I cooked the one from 6.5 (21899) by simply copying and placing in SYS/Shell but no scroll effect was observed in the cooked ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ayyu3m:
and which kitchen might you be using. maybe the scroll and framework packages have been duplicated there in SYS
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nphaibk:
I use OSkitchenZero http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=628948.

I imported a stock ROM (downloaded from HTC's site), sys 20764. In this kitchen, we have three categories:

- SYS: all window mobile packages

- OEM: device driver packages

- EXT: all extended packages (for apps such as camera, photos, sense...)

My test is like this:

1. exclude all "useless" SYS packages (indicated by the kitchen), exclude ALL EXTs (I saw HTC scroll, NO HTCframework) ==> the ROM works well, fast and stable, but NO scroll effect (of course, apps such as camera, album don't work)

2. based on the kitchen above, replace all SYS packages from 21899 (also exclude useless packages) ==> the ROM works well, stable, a bit less responsive, but scroll is smooth (everywhere, contacts, menus, ...)

3. I checked, there was no scroll, framework in SYSs (21899)

So, I concluded that the scroll must be in some packages in SYS
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ayyu3m:
and how abt the OEM packages. diamond by default has the scroll included via the OEM packages and is independent of SYS build

SYS build is just the M$ side of Windows Mobile

Its OEM build / folder that includes all the drivers inclusive of scroll, g-sensor...etc...

so even if you remove EXT...scroll will still exist...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] nphaibk:
Nop, I did not touch OEMs (I think they are for drivers..., which belong to HTC devices). HTCscroll is in EXTs and is dis-selected.
