Hi,

as someone said the battery cover ist hard to remove here is a little HowTo:

First on the bottom you lift up the cove till the first click. Then from there you use your finger nail or similar and slide carefully between cover and device to almost the top of your device. do this for both ways from bottom to top and it releases real easy.

The phone seems to deliberately reset WiFi settings.

The WiFi on my campus uses the 802.11x EAP with PAP as 2nd phase. But the latter constantly resets itself. Whenever I enter the settings pane for this Access point, the option is reset to none.

Any workaround for this?
[LG Optimus 2x] cynop:
i have the same problem. Bought the phone on friday, first noticed it while playing around with google sky. Verified it with the accelerometer test from the hidden menu. I'll try and return it in monday. Should i speak with the store i bought it or directly with LG?

uploaded a video with the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9J9hx8g6Xs

second video with the problem in google maps. there is another phone [i think a nexus one?] for comparison http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjKijFIWC30
[LG Optimus 2x] chong81:
I can also cause the pyramid in accelerometer test to spin around by itself while the phone is in portrait mode and held still. Could this be a common problem across all optimus 2x handsets?
[LG Optimus 2x] Hitchi:
Can't get current widget running with values displayed
[LG Optimus 2x] cynop:
well, at another forum i participate, almost everyone that has bought the phone is affected by this. But they claim that the accelerometer in the nexuses and in the Desire , Galaxy S , Blade all behave the same way, so it's not a bug, rather it's because the sensor is very sensitive. I'm not convinced though. Seems more likely that it's a bug. Hopefully a software one
[LG Optimus 2x] dalgia:
I am pretty sure I have the same problem with the accelometer, because the google sky map is spinning around like crazy..

How can I access the hidden test menu?

flash video playback

I have a flash video playback quality problem.

After 2 days without restart, my phone has an issue to play flash videos with youtube app, or on any flash website. While the video downloading playback is awful. When the video downloaded, playback become fine. It looks like a performance problem.

Just soft reset helps :-(

I'm on stock, non rooted, untouched v10-b.

Did somebody recognize this problem?
[LG Optimus 2x] hbls00190:
Anyone noticed that the notification bar sometimes "misses" an icon..?

Example, I've got 5 icons on the left hand side, 4 icons on the right and the standard date. There is a gap between them of about the width of one icon.

If I receive a text, or an email, I get the vibrate and noise, but looking in the notification bar, there is no email or text icon. If I pull down the notification bar, I can see the notification in list for an email or text, just no icon on the main bar itself.

It seems that I don't get the "+2" icon. My phone will only show "+3" or higher. This means that one icon disappears off the left and you won't see it or know about it unless you pulldown or get another icon added.

Rooted phone, but running stock rom with no changes to the framework at all.

I tried to send a sms that failed. Now the com.Fsecure.browser is popping up every 5 seconds with a message that a large number of sms are being sent with option OK to continue or Cancel to abort. Regards the choise (or even do nothing) the message pops up 5 secs. later.

I have erased all sms, rebooted, tried to kill the process just to see it starts after 30 secs. Even when shoting down all data communication it continues.

Any idea how what to do?

the Gallery has problems with rendering the pictures... if bigger pictures are loaded for example 8MP, and you zoom in in the gallery, you can see a ghostly effect on the right side of the picture... you can try it out, it's easily reproducable, it was tried out on multiple devices... however pictures taken in 5MP doesn't seem to be affected... it looks like to be a gallery bug... there's no workaround yet afaik...
[LG Optimus 2x] pf:
@nuri58

Do you need F-secure? I have rooted, than bought Titanium Backup Pro and froozen all the apps I don't need yet. Frozen, not deinstalled, therefore I can reactivate them any time I want.

Freeze F-Secure and the problem should be solved.

And if you do this with all apps you don't need (yet), you will recognize much more free RAM and a noticable faster LG OS :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Nuri58:
I haven't rooted, but I rather solve the problem. The fact F Secure is warning must be because the system is trying to send this, so where can I stop that?
[LG Optimus 2x] pf:
Sorry, without Root I do not know how to stop it.

If you root, you can install DroidWall and there give each app the permission to use mobil data oder wifi or not. Take F-secure out of the list and this could solve the problem. But DroidWall needs root permission.

Someone already got WhatsApp (whatsapp<dot>com) working on their Archos Gen8?

I have downloaded the apk for Android and installed it on my Archos 70, but I get an error that the application does not recognise my Archos (or something similar).

It seems that it doesn't work on a WIFI only device, GSM module is required I think.

Maybe someone has found a workaround for this?

BTW, I have already contacted WhatsApp support via email, waiting for their reply...
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrulri:
WhatsApp needs GSM because your mobile number is your login credentials/identifier: no GSM -> no identifier -> no WhatsApp

edit: to get around the missing gsm problem, they would have to implement real credentials (phone number + password) so not everbody can just type your phone number in his whatsapp and send messages as it he were you.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zinloos1:
Did you get that to work? Because I would really like to be able to whats app with my normal mobile number..
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
He wrote they have to change this in the application;)

Im sorry but i think they wont doing it, just because one archos user want it.

(nearly) all other android devices can "handle" whatsapp because nearly all android devices are phones

(so gsm module is included;))
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zinloos1:
Hmmm that sucks... Because I almost always have WiFi so it would save me like 10 euro per month. But there are way more Tablets like Xoom, how do they do it? Or does the Xoom also have an data plan? Maybe there are some hackers who can fix/crack it?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
Yes the Xoom has an data plan;)

You can try mjoy.com, its pretty the same;)

Hackers would have to change the apk, and thats much work;)

sorry, but i think no one will do this
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zinloos1:
Thanks for your answer. I live in holland, and does Mjoy.com mean that I can text anyone anywhere with my Archos (WiFi) and my normal mobile number? That's crazy. thank you.

EDIT: But do I get the message's on my mobile phone or on my Archos? Because if I get them on my phone it is rather useless.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
You get the messages not on your Archos, you get them on phone;)

Because mjoy should actually use on phone (on your archos you have to change user gent to iphone;)) but then you need a data plan:D

yes i got whatsapp messages on both my HTC click and arhcos at the same time ; its fun though to chat using two devices :D
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zinloos1:
But that would mean that you have only ONE whatsapp on two devices? Or are they different from each other?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vantoman:
it's the same whatsapp as it uses the same phone # , the same contacts , the same mesages and the same status

you have to take a backup from a working whatsapp because whatsapp needs a cell phone # to authenticate .

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vantoman:

Here is a guide for the ipad:

http://henstudio.com/apple/2011/02/10/how-to-get-whatsapp-work-in-your-ipadipod-touch/

and on this page the describe how to change the app that it doesnt require an actual telephone:

http://help.crabncow.org/home/whatsapp-for-ipod-touch

Since whatsapp uses phone numbers instead of user numbers you can only use the same one as on your phone, or use a second number. Iam not sure if the app checks for am sms message or just registers the phone via internet connection.

The thing is, they already had a working whatsapp for the ipod touch, but removed it again, i really dont have any idea why they would do this. (maybe network carriers only support whatsapp as long as the users need data connection plans...)

Would be convenient if i could also use it on my player, since my phone has symbian i cant use the backup and restore option.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ray1234:
Just to bring some hope to everyone...... my Archos 101's speakers are dead and it's currently repaired under warranty. I got myself another tablet called Novo 8, it's on 2.2.1 Android and no GSM (and even no bluetooth).

I went to market and installed the latest (3 Aug version) Whatsapp, to my surprise, Whatsapp did not complain that it didn't recognise my device. It went on and asked me to input my phone number, of course it can't verify via SMS because the tablet does not have phone function, although my phone did receive the SMS. Another surprise! It said it can't verify via SMS and said it will give me a phone call - so it did, and a computerised voice said the 3 digit activation code. I input the code and there it is, Whatsapp is activated!

Is the latest version of Whatsapp able to support tablets already? can someone with Archos 101 try the latest version (mine is still under repair)? otherwise it could be something with the settings of my Novo 8 tablet, which I'm sure can be adapted to other tablets to enable activation on tablets.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ray1234:
To answer my own question - no, it still can't install on the Archos directly. You have to restore a previously installed version via Titanium to make it work.

The Novo 8 Tablet I got has somehow got a phone rom (or at least it is recognised by Whatsapp as a phone), although it hasn't got any GSM function at all.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakthehairy:
WhatsApp can be installed on Archos101 directly. The only thing is that you need a portable phone number. For example i use the phonenumber of my USB GPRS modem and it works great!! The backup method does not work anymore; WhatsApp does not accept two APPS working with the same phonenumber.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakkrith:
I had tried install Whatsapp on my Archos 101. It could installed but when open this app I had found "END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT" screen. After click on "Accept" button an alert message appear ""We can't identify your device. Please turn off the phone..."

I also had that problem. It's working now. I've installed version 2.6.7381 (downloaded it somewhere .apk - whatsapp(dot)com). Installed this on the archos 101. When I start it I get the error of 'not supported'

I made a backup from my phone of whatsapp with titanium backup. And restored only the data on the archos. I also tried app+data before but that didn't seem to work.

I now have a connection through my phone (acting as a hotspot) and I can send messages and receive them on the archos. I haven't tried it at home through my local network.

[Nexus S General] NAZology:
Two of my work colleagues came up to me this morning and were curious to why I had called them. One colleague received a call yesterday evening at 10:30PM and the other received one at 9AM this morning. Keep in mind the call my other colleague received at 9AM this morning was when I was sitting at my desk.

My call log shows nothing in regards to calling these people.

Is anyone else having this problem or have heard of it?

Both of their names begin with BR. Not sure?
[Nexus S General] avetny:
??!!! OH ****...did u install some of this apps?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=976913

it's maybe laggy, maybe Malware

if it's gonna be again, just flash it to any custom rom (IF U DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, try to wipe everything, do the factory reset+(if i was you) erase USB storage too)

or

type this on the dial pad

*2767*3855# (it's gonna delete everything !)

or

Manual method is to place the phone in Restore Mode (Power off (shut down phone), Vol up + power on )

Factory Reset then Clear Cache (it's gonna delete everything !)

2.3.X+ was immune to those apps.

ok, so did you try to wipe everything? after when you find your "Phone is Making Random Phone Calls"?
[Nexus S General] NAZology:
I'm new to Android so I just want to confirm I should do the factory wipe?

I don't know anything about ROM type etc...

I don't really have anything " saved" on my phone. A few APPs, I mean literally two or three.

My only concern would be the contacts but those are synced with Google so I shouldn't have any issues. As far as texts, browsing history, photo's, none of that stuff really matters to me.

Should I do the wipe?

I pushed about 36 hours before the device shut itself off. Medium to Heavy use (lots of browsing, some games, all around tinkering and playing in numerous apps), and a decent amount of that was standby.

Over-all, I'm very impressed with it and it has completely replaced my laptop (sold it before I got the Xoom, actually). I was actually having a hardtime leaving it off the charger because of how used to I am having to plug my devices in after a few hours of heavy use.

I did a real world test for my xoom this weekend. I used it as i "normally" would. when I wanted to do things, I just did - browse, played games, etc. I used it saturday night to show pictures of a new house to lots of people. Basically, how I would use it if I wasn't specifically testing battery life. Long story short, i went all weekend without charging. Charged fully at 4pm Friday. plugged in Sunday at 11pm with 20% or so still left.

with all due respect that's not accurate. A more accurate usage of batt life is 'display usage'

I get about 7 hours batt life. I was at least expecting 9 hours
[Xoom General] wang1404:
9 is a little too much i'd say. It really depends on what app you use and how much power the cpu takes out of the battery. For example, simple web browsing and apps aint gonna run on 2 cores. Gaming on the other will though. And real life usage is really what matters.

Hi,

Has any of you tried to change lcd density in build.prop?
[LG Optimus 2x] Aduck79:
Tried it myself after successful root.

Setting it to 210 really sharpens things up.
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
lower density is nice but it does give u problems with some programs
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
tried with lcd density changer from marked... dosen't work ??
[LG Optimus 2x] Aduck79:
Didn't know about that app, changed via Root Explorer.

About some apps having problems with lower density, as far as I can see it will just make them "smaller". I still like it better with low (210) lcd_density.
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
would you post a guide on how to do it with root explorer
[LG Optimus 2x] Aduck79:
Use this on your own risk :-)

Quite easy:

1. Root your phone using Superoneclick

2. Install and start Root Explorer

3. Go into /system and tap "Mount R/W"

4. Long press build.prop and tap "Open in Text Editor"

5. Change ro.sf.lcd_density from 240 to 210 or lower (the lower the more zoomed out)

6. Save & Exit

7. Tap "Mount R/O"

8. Reboot phone
[LG Optimus 2x] dk_iceman:
That was easy enough... thans

mine was rooted already :D
[LG Optimus 2x] heroddaji:
Just curious, why u want to have lower density.

Will it make text or image less sharp and nice?
[LG Optimus 2x] Aduck79:
Well, I don't think that it actually gets sharper, but since you zoom out it looks like it, and you can have more Widgets and shortcuts on the homescreens. This can be achieved by using eg. Launcher pro by adding an extra row and column.
[LG Optimus 2x] beejizzle:
Uhm, crap!

I did "mount -o remount, rw /system" edited density in /system/build.prop and then "mount -o remount, ro /system" and rebooted now it keeps looping on the bootscreen, now and then it boots to the homescreen for maybe 2 sec then back to bootloop.
