[General Questions and Answers] blisk:
My sdext somehow became corrupted. I had to run the command in terminal:

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

However replace mmcblk0p2 with the one applicable to your phone.. it could be different although I think unlikely but you could end up formatting the fat 32 partition. I ended up formatting my sdcard to FAT32 first then made the partition and did it via the alternative recovery, not clockwork. I think it depends on what partition was created first.

The command mk2fs formatted and fixed the sdext partition. Afterwards did a restore (using the old recovery 2.5.1.4 and a backup made with that recovery) and it worked.

Unfortunately I still have a md5 checksum error on my very latest backup with the latest clockwork recovery and the old 2.5.1.4 recovery. I'm back on cyanogen 6 as the one made right after flashing 7 is gave me the md5 checksum error.

I believe there might be issues with the new clockwork 3.0.0.5 on restoring backups made by the previous version (which caused the corruption in either the sdext and/or the backup file itself) and/or issues with the cyanogen 7 nightlies making proper backups on the previous version of clockwork. I don't have any other cyanogen 7 backups to test this theory nor do I have the time with a test tomorrow. Could just be back luck. I'm just glad I finally figured it out and have my phone back to the way it was.

Will backup more often for sure...

Is it possible or i'm stuck with 3.4.2 based?
[Defy General] m11kkaa:
I never tried this but I don't would do that.

UK and Finland ROM's are much better and keep in mind, that the China-ROM could break your flashlight.
[Defy General] Viceroy_N:
I'm having the same request here.

Im on:

Android Version: 2.2.1

Build: 3.4.2-117

I flashed the UK rom because I was previously stuck with an endless boot loop issue.

I can't stick with the UK rom because I won't get 3G here in Canada.

Am I able to flash to Chinese 2.2? From there I can probably get some custom roms that are based on the T-Mobile rom.

Also, I can't seem to get my System Rocovery to work anymore. I hold volume down and power. I get to the screen with the android fella and the warning/exclamation thing. Before all I had to do was tap the bottom right, but that doesn't seem to work anymore.

Please help :(
[Defy General] rcauinian:
Upon seeing the warning/exclamation thing try pressing the volume +/- together. I hope this work....
[Defy General] Viceroy_N:
It works great. Thanks!

Anyone know if the China 2.2 ROM is newer than the UK Build: 3.4.2-117?
[Defy General] SteveChou:
no you can't

the UK/T 2.2 is higher than CN froyo.
[Defy General] Viceroy_N:
Thanks.

From UK/T 2.2, Am I able to flash to 3.4.2_145-003 and load Pays-ROM Defy v3.2 Froyo (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943258)

[LG Optimus 2x] DJ Palmis:
Well and there is another LITTLE difference: I read (some weaks ago) that Skype will support TEGRA2 devices..

It is an important news for me.. Samsung has a custom SoC..
[LG Optimus 2x] aze2:
yep, but 2 version are come, Tegra 2 and Orion
[LG Optimus 2x] gaolinde:
i think o2x losing either in term of design or hardware spec.
[LG Optimus 2x] Digital1325:
Out of the 2, I'd go with the SGSII hands down.
[LG Optimus 2x] stefh:
Samsung has no HDMI... Something I really want on my new phone. The optimus does output 1080p, while the Atrix only does output 720p.
[LG Optimus 2x] VistaX:
SGS2 is better, but I've heard prices up to 6000 NOK (about £600). It's very expensive, and the LG Optimus 2X is much cheaper.

And when are the SGS2 coming? April? May?
[LG Optimus 2x] altemirx:
stefh

SGS II has HDMI in microUSB connector
[LG Optimus 2x] Gnuig:
I also would like hdmi on my next phone, and like that the 1080p output works on the o2x out of the box.

Will the sgs2 also output 1080p via microUSB?

I really wan't to use this feature to share movies via hdmi, so maybe the o2x is the better choice on this point?
[LG Optimus 2x] Polluxus:
SGSII is supposed to have MHL technology. With this protocol it's possible to output 1080p over a usb-to-hdmi connector. But we have to see it in action first to be sure.
[LG Optimus 2x] span_01:
Do you think the RAM will be an issue on the O2X? It's only 512MB when the SGSII has got 1GB?

At the moment it probably wont matter too much but I can imagine games coming out in the next 6-12 months that could cause a RAM issue. What do you think?
[LG Optimus 2x] TotallyEpic:
Samsung Galaxy S II - €699

LG Optimus 2X - €499

LG Optimus 2X is definitely the best bang for your buck, and if your a gamer, LG Optimus 2X is the one to get, as there will be a crap tonne of Tegra exclusive games. Yes, I am aware that certain models of the Galaxy S II will be getting the Tegra chipset, but all we know right now, that is region specific.
[LG Optimus 2x] flipim:
why everybody says that Optimus 2X is better?? Because that benchmarks? Thats irrelevant...

Also that Benchmark arent multicore... And Galaxy´s GPU is 4 core... Against Tegra 2 Cores.
[LG Optimus 2x] t3alc:
LOL, where on earth have got that idea?

Galaxy is using 2 cores and nothing els.
[LG Optimus 2x] maxnik1:
He meant that the GPU is quad core. The CPU is dual core for sure.

Edit: Nevermind, link was already posted. I'm blind :P

Here are some benchmarks on SGS2 and O2X:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4177/samsungs-galaxy-s-ii-preliminary-performance-mali400-benchmarked

Something that is giving me a hard time is not the actual performance, I think performance will be great on both phones.

The size however, the O2X is almost as big as SGS2 and SGS2 is actually thinner! SGS2 also packs a screen that is bigger so if I'm gonna get a big phone I might as well get the biggest screen...or? I dunno, I think O2X will be my purchase in the end :P
[LG Optimus 2x] Spoo76:
Ugh. to many dual cores to choose from

First i wanted the, LG 2x, then the atrix.

now there is the samsung and HTC dual cores.

I loved my G1 and my Current N1 but i really like the idea of the Nvidia game support with the Tegra 2 chips

I want what i think most want. 1gig of ram, 8 gigs storage minimum, SD slot, a great 4" or bigger screen,quality rear camera, a front camera,LED flash, and LED notification with HDMI out. I'm sure I am missing something...

I don't know if i like the HDMI via USB. I dont see the battery lasting through a full length movie when hooked up to a TV and would rather not carry around a media dock or adapter for power and HDMI. though i would have loved a laptop dock like the Atrix for $150 if it worked seamlessly with a rooted phone ( on Tmobile while im dreaming lol)

[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
I also like HTC for build quality, but it doesnt seem like they're coming out with any new phones at first considering that they just announced the incredible s...
[LG Optimus 2x] epdm2be:
build quality seems indeed rather flimsy on the LG.

I've seen photo's from the back cover. It's with those flimsy plastic click-on lips. They break off when you open the phone 2 times.

My acer Neotouch S200 also has this "pry-to-open-click-on" cover and already most of the tabs are damaged. I opened this phone just twice. Once to put the sim- and memorycard in and once to remove the SD-card to insert it in a card reader.

Seeing how flimsy the SGS's backcover was I decided not to go that route. Especially considering that the SGS was the most expensive android device in its time. I fear that this LG is along the same path.

Has anyone some real world experience with the LG's durability?
[LG Optimus 2x] londahl:
The HTC Desire has the same kind of "pry-to-open-click-on" backcover.

When i first got mine, my toughts were exactly the same, but now, almost a year and hundreds of openings later, not a single tab is damaged.

It's all about build quality i guess, and the Desire is proof it can be done. Just hoping LG will deliver the same kind of quality.
[LG Optimus 2x] raijinshou:
But SGS2 has no Tegra Zone, LGO2X has Tegra Zone ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] aze2:
not in the final product (i've read that on iengadget)
[LG Optimus 2x] player911:
The Galaxy S 2 uses its own Exynos DualCore processor and the OX2 uses the Tegra Dualcore A9 + NVidia Graphics.

I would think that going forward that the OX2 would be more compatible with Honeycomb drivers and stuff being that it is in the mainstream.
[LG Optimus 2x] Toss3:
Don't know if you guys know what Tegra Zone really is, but it's basically just a compact android market consisting of games that are optimized for the Tegra 2. These games are also available on the android market so you won't be missing out on anything by opting for the SGSII.
[LG Optimus 2x] sebkn:
It's actually just a showcase app, and not market. it presents games that are optimized for tegra 2 and a link to download it in the market.

I have already ordered Optimus 2x. thats definetly the best phone for the price. the tegra 2 chipset is better than orion and it will be more games optimized for the tegra 2. when it comes to ram, i think you would never use the whole 1gb that the SII has. 512 will be enough :)

In norway the Optimus 2x costs 749$ on preorder.

The SII is estimated to cost around 1100$ when it's reliesed in over a month...
[LG Optimus 2x] kingzero666:
You can already pre order the sgs2 on amazon germany for 600€. If you compare both amazon prices of the sgs2 and lg2x, it differs in 100€. Which i think is ok if you consider that the sgs2 has a bigger screen (4" - 4.3"), more ram (512MB - 1GB) and more space (8GB - 16GB).

[LG Optimus 2x] jastonas:
well... sgs 2 was supposed to have tegra 2 but apparently it will have the oxynos cpu. Did that change again? What is your source of information?
[LG Optimus 2x] Corey@rabbit:
I would love to see someone prove this, All i keep hearing is "unconfirmed" on cpu.

Dont know how the carriers all around the globe work, but the only way I will be able to choose which of these two beasts of a phone I will get all comes down to which phone is CDMA and not GSM.

Either phone will last me the very well for a year + (I get an upgrade every year) So Im not worried about a phone having to last me 2 yrs and miss out on the latest and greatest.
[LG Optimus 2x] jastonas:
gsmarena which is quite respected... says it has orion cpu

Returning the O2X

I got the O2X Monday, and after a day spent with it, I decided to return it.

It's cheep plastic back doesn't resemble much quality feel. The camera is poor, high weight, plastic & plastic all over. I don't like the front with that big space for the touch buttons. The GS2 is almost same size. I also hope the SG2 will be able to wake on pushing the front button.

My only concern is witch phone will be most supported by the developing community (and cyanogen)(?). I heard rumours that devs don't fancy Sammy to much. I don't know nothing about it, have never had a Sammy phone. I'm on N1 now, and I'm a crackflasher...

Other thoughts on the O2X is:

-poor gps (?)

-poor battery (?)

-red-ish white colours (compared to AI4)

-a very tiny power/wake button

-fatty-fat

-Android 2.2 (!)

(?) = not fully tested

[LG Optimus 2x] olavjunior:
As I said, the (?) was not fully tested. I'm aware that battery life gets better in time. Still - it's only 1500 mA compared to 1650. And the gps sensor was poor compared to my N1. But that might be a software thing, wich could be resolved by mods, I don't know...

I know the sammy is plastic as well, but I'm afraid I would break the back cover after a couple of months on the lg.
[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
My LG 2x is merely a stepping stone for me. I WANT the SGS II :P. IMO the LG 2x is a complete letdown for me.

I am getting fed up with the random shutdowns, or that the lockscreen goes nonresponsive so pressing the power button etc does not do anything >_<. Basically sitting at the black standby screen and only recovers by repeatedly pressing the volume and power button.

Furthermore the 2x only reports me having around 100 Megs of free ram, while my old Desire could at least get 150 megs ram free when it was "off the block".

So I am moving to the Samsung Galaxy II the second it hits the market where I live. I do however opt for the 32 gig version over the 16 gig one, as well as hope that Samsung decides to ship the Tegra2 version to europe and leave the Orion version on the US market :P
[LG Optimus 2x] spawndk:
Plastic ? If anything is plasticy its the SGS and SGSII - the LG are very litle plasticy imho. feels very solid - and definately less plasticy than your N1

Fatty-fat ? - My LG are the same thickness as my Iphone4 - I guess that is fatty-fat to then. Dont want it any thinner than this. To me its not an essential quality being thinner, just makes it feel more fragile and uncomfortable to hold.

Poor GPS ? nothing wrong with the gps on my LG - works just as good as my Desire and Iphone 4

Poor camera ? nothing wrong with the camera on my LG

Poor battery ? my LG last almost 2 full days of normal use, my HTC Desire and my Iphone 4 only ever last 1 day with the same use. You cant judge battery use from one day spent with it. And certainly not the very first day of use. Batteries allways needs a couple of charge cycles to perform.

Redish white ? I assure you white will be more reddish on the SGS Amoled than on the IPS of the LG- and it isnt reddish at all on my LG, not even in comparison with my Iphone 4

Tiny power/wake button ? wtf. are you talking about ? its just a button, it isnt tiny at all and I have no problems using it. How big does it have to be for you to be able to hit it ?

Android 2.2 - yeah, so Gingerbread didnt get ready for release, so what ? how many other phones on the market today have an official Gingerbread ? Only the Google Nexus S - nothing else. LG will release Gingerbread for the O2x as soon as its ready - and its not like the phone is useless untill then. Get over it. Lets see if the LG or the SGSII gets gingerbread first shall we ?

Seems to me like you simply just desided not to like it no matter what. Fair enough - I think the SGSII are plain ugly, just like the SGS were, its cheap Iphone clone look and its thin plastic doesnt impress me the least bit. Never has. And the software development from Samsung never did either. LG on the other hand has really stepped up with O2x - design and qualityfeel are great, despite the plasctic cover on the back, hardware choice are great. The software are a litle immature still, but the phone are only just released - if you beleive the SGSII wont have software issues when this gets released you are naive. The SGS has had lots of issues and the SGSII will have its issues on first release.

Samsung galaxy s 2 demo phones featured on youtube vids are pretty laggy and can't even play a game smoothly... yeah i know its demo and software is not final so its too early to compare.
[LG Optimus 2x] peacekeeper05:
Lol! You tested it for only a day and decided to return it because what? Its plasticky? If there is one company that manufactures phones with 100% plastic, its samsung. And now you want a samsung. It just doesnt make sense. Fat? If this phone is fat then i dont know what thin is. Gps was very good and screen is a lot better than any other non amoled android phone. Haha... funny!
[LG Optimus 2x] olavjunior:
lol, I see I stirred up some feelings here :)

Sorry, it's not fatty fat, but slightly thicker then the iPhone 4. And Samsung seems unbelievable thin. That's the reason for my impression of thickness.

I've never had an Samsung phone, so you might be right - maybe I'll return it after a day as well. I'll have to see. Plastic is ok as long as it's built in a quality manner. But really, you loose me when you claim that my N1 is plastic. Really? Are you living behind a stone?

Camera:

And the camera stutters even when filming in 720 if you pan. Pictures are gray, and not very vibrant. I'm pretty sure the GS or the Experia is better at this.

Red whites:

This is a manner of taste. I compared it to the fabulous iPhone 4 display, but there's nothing that beats the iPhone display. But I'm not buying an iPhone even though.

Power button:

I'll miss my trackball wake, and hopefully the sg2 will get this feature on it's square button. LG simply can't get this feature obviously.

Android 2.3:

Yes, you might be right. Just for now it's a drawback for me going back to 2.2. I really hope Samsung has learned something from it's previously galaxy. But hey, it 'll prob. have issues. That's why we flash!

GPS:

I couldn't get the lg to connect to the sats even when I left it in my window for 10 minutes. Getting flashbacks to the N95 times (:eek:). N1 connects very easily. But prob. this could be fixed with some tweeking, I didn't mind investigating much..

Returned it because I can't keep it forever and still get my money back. It was indeed a difficult choice. Maybe I change my mind after I've held the SG2. But to day, I have to say it's pretty breathtaking ...

;)
[LG Optimus 2x] dagrim1:
-GPS is working fine here

-Battery is lasting 1-2 days which is at least the same as SGS.

-No issues at all with the colors here (coming from a SGS with amoled screen). K, black is not as black perhaps but never had the feeling I went to a lesser screen.

-Tiny power/wake button. Indeed missing a home button to wake the phone up but the size of the power button is fine imo.

-Fatty-fat? Might be thicker compared to the SGS2 but the SGS2 is bigger in length and width.

-Android 2.2? For now yeah, but an update to 2.3 WILL come in time

Build quality is fine as well, feels solid and good. Compared to the SGS it doesn't feel as plastic at all.

It's all in the eye of the beholder of course but imo you're too negative about this phone...
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Uh, it looks like I'm the only ex-SGS user who HATED the central button and is looking forward to good, old 4 capactive buttons set...

[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
I have opened my LG countless number of times so far and the backcover at least to me seems to be just as rigid as the one used on the Desire. I think the lesson for today is "Use the proper amount of force, not to little, but not too much as well" :P.

At least as far as I can feel and test the quality of the backcover is on par with the HTC Desire.

Samsung said themselves that they can't make enough Orion chipsets so there will be 2 versions of the SGS II, one with Orion and one with Tegra2. And whether one model will be available here and there will most likely be a geographical seperation and not carrier related.

[LG Optimus 2x] MeX_DK:
I paid around ~630 Euro's for my LG 2x and is willing up to ~800 Euro'es for the SGS II in the 32 GB version if its on par with everything else sent on the market at its time of release.

How can you get that high. I have a taks killer running and I normally hover in the 90-100 Mb's available area at all times.
