Get my unlock key from LG, and then attempted to unlock the bootloader and I got this error: Any idea what the problem could be? I just got the phone from swappa and it looks in such good shape that maybe it could be a refurb? Thats my only guess. I already did this on my other US997 with...

Ive owned some great devices for cyanogenmod/lineageos, and ive owned some terrible ones. Nexus phone ans oneplus have been the absolute best - recently the LG G6 (US997 version) has been terrible. Looking at devices out now - the only phones that have official support for 15.1 that are...

Can I use the nexus player as an android "desktop" and attach a keyboard and mouse? Have this thing sitting around collecting dust. I'd like to root it and do some stuff with it. I was thinking attaching some wireless gamepads and emulating classic games. I wouldnt mind attaching a keyboard...

Really miss this feature, loving everything else about oreo. Is there anyway to enable this? Am I gonna need a different kernel?

My mother said her phone died on her and wouldn't turn back on (nexus 5x). I got it to turn on, but it would get to the 4 dots and then freeze up. Booted into twrp, and the same thing, it would work for a while and then freeze. I tried formatting the partition, but once I typed "yes" it would...

Both are currently the same price. Both bootloaders are unlocked and have twrp. The H870 already has an unofficial LineageOS rom, the US997 does not. Getting rid of LG's ****ty OS and putting something more stock is pretty important to me. I was leaning towards the H870 before because...

Just picked this phone up. StockOS looks OK, but Ive always used a more stock-based OS, and am hoping that well at least get one or two really popular/supported roms. Since only a few versions of this device are bootloader unlocked, will we get support from lineage? Im hoping eventually.

She says it died a LONG time ago and the phone has just been collecting dust (no chance on using warranty). Im new to this device and subforum - is this a common problem with the note 5? The cheapest Ive seen for a replacement screen is like $200 and for that much shes probably better off...

Before rooting/removing ads etc, I want to use the phone for a week or so stock so Ill have a baseline to compare it to. Would it be OK to let the phone update fully while using it? I know with some devices (Amazon kindle) if you update it to a certain point, then there is no going back and...

On the verge of getting a new phone. I can deal with 2GB of ram if the cost of a phone is 180, and maybe even 240 for the 4gb version. Once I get up to spending 230 for 2gb and 300 for 4gb, I think there are better phones that arent too far away in terms of cost. Does this phone look like its...

So I gave this phone to my mother a while back. It was working fine for a while, but when she said it was slowing down a little I decided to update her rom to something a little newer. She was previously on a 4.1 version of AOKP, about a month or so ago, I updated to the newest 4.2 version of...

I was hoping to get maybe a little longer out of my gnex, considering that IMO i dont do very taxing things, and when i bought it - those things seemed to work fine. In the past few months, i started using google music - and the phone is simply too slow to keep up. Besides that, all i do is...

Probably gonna sell my phone, but ive owned it long enough for them to send me the unlock code before i do. Ive never done this before - right now im running a custom rom, will this make a difference? Will it "stick" if the phone is every reflashed? I only ask because i see phones on ebay...

Just wondering if the differences in the two are normal. I owned a SGS2 for a long time, and the battery would sometimes be just awful. There were days when it would drain 1% on standby, and then days when it was like 5-7% on standby - which is pretty bad for not using the phone at all. I...

I have a gnex, and i like the ability to scale if i want to. My friend wants me to put a custom rom on his phone, I recommend either AOKP, since ive used that before, or what im using now, which is paranoid android. Which would you recommend for this function?

Could someone point me in the right direction of how to get back to completely stock - without root? I can only find the guide to revert to stock with root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432 And im also confused on what would be considered "stock" now since im pretty...

Went to pop my sim into my old captivate, and it would not recognize it. Upon further inspection, i realized that one of the metal contacts popped off, and that's why it wasn't working. Is there anyway i can fix this, hopefully a somewhat easy solution? I was thinking maybe solder? I...

Please vote (1-unusable, 2 barely usuable, 3 adequate but not great, 4 good, 5 awesome) Ive had this phone for about a month now, and i love it, but the GPS for me has been awful. When i first got the phone, it would work - but not great, sometimes not locking, losing signal while driving...

I was planning on bring my SGS2 to the repair center, since its been giving me so much trouble lately, unfortunatley i dropped it in water before i could get there :( As far as i can see there are 2 water indicators on the phone - on the phone itself to the right of the battery, and also one on...

Ive had my phone for about 2 weeks now, and the GPS is basically unusable. It takes up to 5 mins to get a lock, and sometimes it just never gets one. Even when it does, its not very accurate. Ive read somewhere that the upgrade to jellybean caused this, and ive been running JN since i owned...

Let me start off by saying, at the moment, my battery is fantastic. Right now im over 9 hours off the charger and im only down 20%. (from 95 to 75%) (first image attached) (betterbatterystats dump at bottom) Yesterday the same thing - after almost 5 hours only down 13% and for the day i was 21...

Friends got this phone and hes tired of waiting for ICS. I told him id put a custom rom on there, but i want to make sure its stable because i dont want him to have many bugs. Which ROM should i go with? Im guessing he would probably prefer a samsung based rom over a AOSP rom.

Battery life started off OK with this rom, now its just awful. After 8 hours today, im now at 16%. I have cpuspy installed, and betterbatterystats as well, but i dont know how to interpret them (wake-locks and such). Rom is shostock v1.9.4 stock kernel Barely used the phone at all today let...

If im running CM7, am i better off using siyah or entrophy's kernel? I've read siyah recommends entrophy. I mainly want to OC to 1.6. Possibly Undervolt. Whats the difference between the two?

Coming from a captivate, im now running cm7 with the kernel that comes with it. IMO the rom runs super fast and is really stable, to the point where i dont even know what benefits would come from changing to siyah. So why should i even bother? Is the battery life better? phone faster...

Love CM, but not being able to choose my SD card as the default location is annoying. My internal SD is filled up with podcasts, and all i want to do is just save it to my huge sd card. why wont it let me?!

Was flashing a phone from stock to pinnacle. Long story short, the blue line across the bottom was about half-way when the cable was removed. I cant get back into download mode by key combo now. I will try my jig when i get home. Am i screwed :( I know the only way to really do any...

Im coming from a captivate, so i used to make sure i was at 100% when i would flash a new rom. Does it matter with this phone? EDIT: just went through with flash. Went from CM7 to MIUI, no problem there. I was at about 50-45%, flashed unnamed, and now the phone is at 15%. now im worried...

Noticed that sometimes no matter how careful i was about swyping the correct word, it would come out wrong. I checked "show complete trace" in swypes settings to see where i was messing up, and i noticed something much worse than my own mistakes. Sometimes, my swype sensor goes nuts for no...

Im coming from a captivate, and from what i remember, some roms were brighter than other when i selected auto-brightness. So far I've tried stock and a few different builds of CM7 and both seem really dim. Dont get me wrong 80-90% of the time i prefer it this dim, but i find myself just...

When i use an AOSP rom, my battery life takes a huge hit, particularly when the phone is in standby. On a stock rom, I get maybe 1% drain per hour in standby, with CM7 im getting 3-5%. Ive read that some people actually get normal battery life, so if thats true, then its gotta be something im...

Coming from captivate, i used to have to one-click back to stock before i could do anything. Do i have to do the same here when going from a AOSP rom to a i777 rom? FYI whenever i flash I ALWAYS wipe data/cache/dalvik cache (and sometimes battery stats) Also does any kernel for the i777 work...

--------EDIT------------ trying to troubleshoot S2 right now, if you want to help me go to my other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375803 ------------------------ Been debating for a month or so whether i should buy the SGS2 with a contract for free, or import the...

So i use dolphin HD as my main browser, and whenever it updates i have to set as default all over again. Id rather just remove the stock browser, as i never use it anyway, but will this end up giving me problems? In addition, there are other apps that i dont need, and would also like to...

Love CM, and enjoy trying out new roms/builds on my phone regularly. I just bought a SGS2 on ATT about a week ago, and after a few days running stock, i am now on the newest CM KANG build. It runs great, but my only concern (sort of) is battery life. When flashing CM, or any non i777 rom on...

So I just got my new SGS2 on ATT a few days ago. I normally like to use the phone stock, without rooting or anything for a few days before doing anything, so i can base my performance off that. (battery life, speed, features, etc.) I am sad to say this phone is horrible stock. The first...

Ok so for the last few months, I have been switching between roms, looking for something with good battery life. Every rom i tried, the battery life often was awful (10-12 hours light use) until pinnacle came around. With pinnacle, the standby drain was around 1% per hour, and it just kicked...

seriously considering getting this phone, but the one thing that makes me second guess is reading peoples accounts with CM. The captivate is an awesome phone, with great hardware, but unfortunately for me, it sucks when using any other rom but a captivate based build. Im running CM7 nightly...

Wanted to give CM a shot again, getting the same results as the last time i tried it. My results with pinnacle 1.2: Everyday I leave for work at 630, and when i leave at ~3, depending on how much i use the phone, im usually at 70-80 percent. If i dont use my phone at all, and am in an area of...

trying to make sure i follow the instructions exactly to make sure my install is perfect. So far I: -used odin one click to go back to stock jf6. (i didnt have to disable voodoo right? i think using odin one click completely wipes it, so no reason to disable lagfix) -rooted the phone...

I get awesome service with pinnacle. Im ready to give CM a shot again, but would like to use the same modem, if its possible. If not, whats a similar modem? (prob a dumb question) My dad lives near the beach, and with pinnacle, my phone works like it does anywhere else. Last time i used apex...

Been on pinnacle for a while now. Its been the most stable/battery efficient rom i have used so far. This will be my go to rom for the time being. The problem is im kinda bored, and i wanna try something else out. I want to give cyanogen/miui a shot again, but the battery life i had with...

My sisters blackberry is crapping out, so i picked her up a fascinate for 70 bucks off of craigslist. I myself have been using a captivate for the past year and a half, so i know the process of flashing cant be all that different. My main question is which rom i should put on there. I want...

Im unfamiliar with the names of new roms, and want to try a new rom out. In the past I have used CM7, MIUI, apex, etc. I am currently on Pinnacle 1.2 and I love it. From what i understand this is a KH3 rom, and was a official captivate rom, and this is why my battery life is so much better...

I have been waiting a while now for the SGS2 to come to att, but now im thinking i might just be better off with the international version anyway. Right now im using a samsung captivate. I like that the phone has so much community support, but sometimes wish i had the i9000, because it gets...

I've had my captivate for over a year now, with mixed results. Honestly i love the phone, and if i could work out my issues, probably can go another year without having to get a new phone. My biggest problems are the battery, and the bugs. When i bought my phone my battery life was ok. When i...

I have flashed my phone in the past, but now I read something about some people not being able to go back to JF6. I plan on installing Apex, and i dont want to mess this phone up. If i do try with one click flash back to jf6, am i risking bricking my phone? (I have a jig btw, but i know...

My girlfriend just got a nook, and used it for about a week stock. Recentli I flashed phiremod, which she really loves, but wants to go back because she can't read magazines like she could with the stock software. * So basically I'm looking for a custom ROM that is a rooted and modded version...

I have a few minor gripes with this phone, but no more than I'd have with any new android phone. My battery is awesome. There is so much development and support for it. The screen is beautiful. Its fast. Best looking (even with my case) The next phone I buy is gonna have to really blow my...

So i have a captivate that has a broken usb port, so i need to flash it back to stock so i can exchange it. I already flashed JH7 OTA, so now i just have to remove root. I have the galaxy one click root program, but since i cant do it via usb, i placed the unroot file on the phone and...
