I havent noticed that anyone here wrote about
Froyo FRG83 - Android 2.2.1 Beta-Release [06-11-2010] from neopeek
it needs ext2 partition
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FD0Y3LPR
You can find more info on this link
http://www.neopeek.com/en/forum/Son...o-FRG83---Android-221-Beta-Release-05-11-2010
I used it today for a long time and everything was so fast and i had no problems accept for:
-sometimes it will and sometimes it wont charge
-in market when downloading app i have to cancel and click download again in order for download to start.
-other small issues like battery status.
I had apsolutely no crash. I made and recieved 12 calls today and 3 sms without any problems. Havent tested battery life but it seems OK. Market works, Wifi,...etc.
its uses sp3dev zImage.
This is first port of android that is accually usable for everyday work. I used it all day without any major problem.
We are very close to fully working version. Thanks to everyone.
You should definitly try it if you have not.
thanks!!!!
downloading now...

Dont thank me...im just messenger.
before launching haret in WM i enabled Wifi. Not sure if its important or not but i did it anyway to be sure.
P.S. Headphones work, no restarting...etc
Use this calibration file

Use this calibration file

10x
i'll try it right now
10x
What makes that build more usable than previous ones?
haven't tested it yet, but most other neopeek's buils are fast ans have no problems except little ones you are mentioning in first post.
How is battery life in that one?
Lets put it out this way. I tried them all and this one is best so far.
Battery drain is slow becouse it uses sp3dev files i think. Havent still tested full battery life time but i think its great. Will test it later.
Its been on all day and no restart, no crash, no lag, no slowdown.
I made and recived 16 calls and 5 sms till now without any problems.
Most of other ports do eventually freeze, restart, crash or slowdown. But this one still works perfectly. In combination with good battery time its best port so far.
So far we had ports with stability but bad battery time.
And lately we had ports with good battery time but other stuff was not good.
This one combines it all (good stuff)
Wifi works, headphones work, calls work, its very fast.
Sometimes you have to wait minute till download from market starts.
There are other small issues. I think bluetooth dont work.
But for me this is so far most usable ROM.
P.S. I installed Launcher Pro.
The issue with market (to need to cancell download and start again) is something usual on all devices so don't worry about that.
Battery consumption is about 9-10% per hour with 3G network and little usage.
So we have about 10-11 hours of use with this ROM.
Hmm... I tried to install it following this tut : http://www.neopeek.com/en/forum/Que...-tosWheresWhens---All-right-here!?lang=en#525
But... it seems that INSTALL.exe install everything in a folder, not in my ext2 partition ... oO
Did u use this way to install it ? denyboy
EDIT : Ok , ext2 wasn't set as primary ..
couldn't connect Wifi (wifi connected but doesnt find my accespoint :/) + cant share connection everything else seems ok

have you tried turning on Wifi in Windows Mobile before starting haret.exe
I got it working. So, if I have to reboot the device, I have to get into WinMo first and run Haret everytime?

great
this is the fastest build i ever tested. but still i have some problems:
-battery dosen't charge more than 70%
-gallery sometime crashes
-wallpapers dosen't fit, the image i crop form the wallpaper si more smaller than the screen resolution
is good at:
-battery life time via 3g or wifi
-dosen't heat the battery
-neocron test 18.7 fps (faster the Xperia-Xdandroid-X1 4.11 v2)
-very smooth animations
-browsing is fast
-market is working
-media player works greate (untill now)
-has file explorer
ill keep on testing
after I installed npkinstall,my phone reboots,and then i hit haret,exe,boot screen shows up,and then linux says kernel panic-not syncing....unable to mount root fs,,rebooting in 7,,6,,5,,sec. anyone?thx

Check again if you ext2 partition is "Primary"... It must not be "Logical"
I had the same issues solved by that
where can I edit that?thanks
just wondering will my action destroy my phone? eg. in term of speed / battery life etc.
1.removing battery when phone hanged
2. constantly changing mod
3.entering xrecovery
4.always enter xrecovery
5.reviving your bricked phone
will my phone die slowly from my actions?
No way. Also you can always use PC companion to fix the bricked phone.

then havent u stick on to a particular rom? based on ur preferences?
I have tried almost 10 ROM's but i finnaly stuck with GingerDX. I will try out the ICS ROM when v004 arrives to see if it is better
I bricked it once but i dont notice any performance degrades or anything so i dont think it kills the phone slowly

no 1 maybe.. i dont know about the other..
i tried
cruzt - sadly has a long load time(5secs ) each time u exit an app (used it only about an hour )
DX - currently using has a few prolbems - the market is damn slow/lag ..app FC - eats lots of memory - a little laggy every now and then ...
i tried DX since many said it's good ...i have froyopro in my phone but dont know wether to install it or not ...

since u've tRied almost all,give it a shot too,for me froyopro is indeed stable and gud for everyday use
how much does froyopro differ from DX? as my experience goes , DX is certainly unstable in my book and feels more like a beta

It depends upon you what is your preference. Gingerdx is gingerbread whereas froyopro is froyo. Ginger bread has some limitations an the roms are not so stable yet. Froyo has been tested and is best for x8.
I have tried almost every ginger rom availabe on xda but am using linuxperia from last week. Is quite stable with alfs kernal. Make a opinion for your self and try to stick with a stable rom.
Sent from my X8 using XDA Premium App
oh...but for some reason my xrecovery cant open with DX ..can i install froyopro with cmw ? or should i install xrecovery again?
darn it , for some reason DX keeps on saying your app ain't respondin ...even the camera has this problem ..it's stability is bad...

Not able to agree with you ...
GingerDX is stable and smooth for me (no mods like "let's pretend Gingerbread turned into a Ice Cream Snack", no overclock, no other ****ing-around-with-it-to-get-it-deliberately-unstable). Market 3.2.6 works as great as somehow possible and I NEVER experienced the market throwing a FC. Camera / Barcode Scanner works for me without a problem as well.
Battery life is also acceptable ... 2-3 days under normal circumstances ... a whole lot less if I happen to play "utter retard" and leave WiFi or 3G enabled 24/7.
I think the majority of GingerDX users will tell you the same.
That being said ...
YOUR experience entirely depends on your usage. If you mod your ROM to death (just because you can't resist installing each and every mod or tweak that pops up in the "Apps & Themes" section) you better expect bugs and instability to happen. Same goes for installing tons and tons of apps. At the end of the day it's a _phone_, it's not a personal computer where 50+ apps "to get things done"(TM) are the norm.
Also - better keep in mind that we're talking about custom ROMs here. While the devs do a great job in delivering the best solution there's always the possibility that the sources, out of which they build their ROMs, contains bugs or glitches.
If you want something STABLE you need to stick with the stock ROM (which, in my experience, was a lot more crash happy than Froyobread or GingerDX).

>.< i guess it's my personal experience only.. probably it's my phone's bad ..still is 50 apps considered too much ? is freezing apps able to smoothen things out? still xrecovery ain't usable in DX for some weird reason

50?
Let me count (excluding the ones coming with ROM) ...
1 - 3G Watchdog
2 - AirDroid
3 - Barcode Scanner
4 - ClockSync
5 - Google+ / Messenger (all the same thing)
6 - gReader
7 - Google Docs
8 - IM+ Pro
9 - KeePassDroid
10 - Maps / Lattitude / Navigation / Places (all the same thing)
11 - Market (just mentioned because I flashed the 3.2.6 update)
12 - Google Music
13 - MX Video Player / ARMv6 Codec
14 - Pogoplug
15 - Root Explorer
16 - SMS Backup+
17 - Titanium Backup
And that's it ...
44,43MB free memory (at an uptime of 1 week+)
In short ... the more apps you install the more background tasks you may have running eating up your free memory ... and as we know funny things start to happen when Android runs low on RAM.
Hi all!
After being for a long time a neopeek.com thread only,i've choosen to post the kernel here too..
Please note that i'm using codesourcery's toolchain 9-2010
If the kernel fails at booting
Please check this startup and this haret
Please change
Code:
set INITRD_OFFSET 0xSOMETHING
to
Code:
set INITRD_OFFSET 0xA00000
in startup.txt
If you don't have the line in startup,add it,it must be anywhere before "boot"

CHANGELOG
V12
642200 MHz now runs with 200 Mhz AXI and AHB clocks
Fixed a small issue with AXI and AHB clocks,them weren't set properly
PLL clock is now mantained after panel blank-unblank
V11
Added some scaling steps,642200 MHz and 100800 MHz
Last frequence(642200) runs off PLL3,making a small speed bost
AXI and AHB are clocked at 160 MHz for PLL3,when making it higher the phone became unresponsive and slow
Default governor is On demand if you don't use my new rootfs
Kernel uses now 642200 as default max frequency
CIFS is back
V(R) is now default I/O scheduler,however you can always go back to No-op
Worked a bit on Kovksy battery meter,should be a bit more responsive now
V10
EXPERIMENTAL,Topaz should boot now
Kovsky battery fix,now is being more precise
Reverted to the old way to handle clock,doesn't bring more performance,could make the battery last a bit more
V9
EXPERIMENTAL,EXT4 support
Kovsky battery fix,now is being read properly
CIFS is being built as a module
No-Op I/O scheduler
Small but useful change in the way cpu handles clock
V8
Partially fixed kovsky battery meter
Now battery discharges and charges,is just bad calibrated
DISCLAIMER:
If your phone(or SD-CARD) burns,explodes,or does unexpected things when using my kernel i take no responsability.
BUG LIST
Camera not working on X1,that's a common issue,pheraps it's time to backport from alex's .35
Class 6 and above sd-cards don't work well on blackstone
Bundle
Since ext3 is bringing good results and since everyone is saying good things about it
I've decided to make it more noob friendly.

NOTES FOR DEVELOPERS/CHEFS:
You need to update /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script to make the build working with ext3
Change all the format and mount lines to ext3 instead of ext2.
Example
Code:
format("ext2", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2");
has to be
Code:
format("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2");

well, I've tested your V10 Rom with an EXT2 rom which is SenseDroid V9 and it's amazing
but two issues:
1. Wifi doesn't seem to work for some reason even when turned on in winmo
2. There is this weird sound that comes from the speaker every few seconds
Other than that ... The kernel is great and fast and I love it ...
I hope I have helped and I'm sorry I'm new to all of this and I'm trying to learn as much as I can ... I hope I don't bother you with my questions and reports
Hello Midnight,
nice to see this kind of topic here, I think many X1 users didn't find it at neopeek's site in Blackstone, Topaz (etc) section. Hope you will get better X1 feedback here.
I've tested V9 and V10 kernels on Jerrytan's Honeydroid with EXT3. I think both have slightly higher battery consumption than old Ygge's Turbo kernel.
Battery reading is still in both kernels literally "jumping" around the right value and it is changing several times per minute. But in V10 it seems a little bit better.
And as it was already said there is a strange sound comming from phone speaker in V10, when phone network is used, like when you put phone near some speaker.
I didn't tested wifi.
Thanks for your work and good luck in further development.

Is the speaker bug present with xdandroid kernels?
Wi-fi worked with V9,so something is wrong build side..
I dunno about the Xdandroid kernel as I have never used it ... I just downloaded the files and over wrote them on a Turbo kernel and changed the start-up file to yours ...
The speaker just does a sound close to the one when u put ur phone next to the speakers like it was said ... but it's coming from the speaker of the phone itself ...
Well, I'm gonna wait for Jerrytan's new EXT3 Rom ... hopefully this week and I'll further test your kernel and give u more feedback ... thanks for your efforts
I've never used xdandroid kernels too. But the speaker sound is messy only in V10, in my case V9 was fine in this matter.
And I forgot to mention that the phone speaker is always on...
WOW!!!Tnx dear Midnight for this awesome release.........
I'll replace it with V9 ASAP
and one question.....randomly,when I press my X1's power button to check the clock or sth,My device screen get back and it dies,I forced to reset my device by pressing the reset key to make this issue solved..........
Is it solved in this Kernel??

I've not seen any SODs recently..
I don't know if this helps, but:
The sound is active when data connection (EDGE/GPRS) is used. It stops right after a phone call and the speaker is off for a while. But it starts again after a while, maybe 2-3 minutes and the speaker is on again.
I don't know if this is kernel related, but i can't recieve mms messages. The truth is, that I didn't test this with other kernels cause I don't usually use MMS.
I've also tried V9 ... the hizzing sound is less frequent but it's always on when I'm using internet mobile as mentioned before ... V9 is very fast and stable. with an EXT3 rom it was working amazing ... I think it uses a bit more battery than the Turbo kernel but with the option to charge from Android itself ... I don't mind that as I mostly carry a charger around if I'm going out for long ...
also, there's a second of black screen after you press the power button ... the hizzing sounds stops once the screen is off ...
The other only problem I see so far the battery meter but u are already working on that in V10 ... Thanks so much for the great efforts

Hey dear friend,tnx for ur reports....
But I hear hizzing when I'm not using internet too!!
I have pressed the power button several time to sleep and wake up my device to check the hizzing....no changes!
I say tnx dear Midnight again
super fast and stable.....But the battery drains so fast for me,maybe 5 6 hours(in less uses than normal use)
speaker hizzing,and still I have to turn speaker on for incoming call to hear my friend voice[I don't know how this issue is solved for somebodies]

I don't have data connection,so i can't test this..
I can't see why this bug is present..
about battery drain,uhm..,trying to fix it..
I get an incoming call....that was OK....strange..
seems that it sometime happens.....
tnx Mr boss
Thanks so much for replying ... I hope all these issues I report don't bother you ... I'm just trying to help improve this kernel
another issue I realized is that sometimes when the screen sleep for about an hour, it doesn't seem to wake up and when I slide the keyboard I see the lights when means it's working but the screen never wakes up ... is there a way to solve this? this testing with an EXT3 rom and V9 of your kernel

Panel collapse doesn't work as it should,and i guess that the CPU throttling isn't working well either
Can anyone tell me if this battery life is nice?
15 seconds of Wi-Fi,1 hour of games,3 or 4 10 minutes calls,30 texts made the battery go from more or less 80(Can't remember the exact value from wm) to 50 in android in 4 hours?
EDIT:Can anyone with the speaker bug provide me dmesg and logcat when you hear that sound?
I recharge my phone after about 7 hours[78% to 20% and then It got off]
that was not bad for an android ROM for me,But u lost just 30% for 4 hours of hard working :-o ......I mean gaming and voice calling and texting....But my phone was just in standby and I seldom used it.......maybe about 30Mins
well, this battery usage sounds good ... 4 hours with using the phone and 30% only sounds good ... this means the phone can last for about 12 hours when fully charged ... but could u please test it with more wifi usage as this will test the battery more as u know how android likes to be connected to the internet all the time whether wifi or 3G ... but 1 hour of games should also test the battery ... so, I guess that sounds good ... great job man
about the dmesg and logcat ... I hope someone with experience can help with that ... perhaps we will get more feedback when Jerrytan tests it or makes his SenseDroid an EXT3 Rom, cuz many people use that Rom which will provide more testing for the kernel ... I probably can't help cuz I don't even know what these mean, let alone get them I'm sorry ... also, I'm gonna be using winmo more for the time being with an old EXT2 Rom sometimes as I have too much studying to do ... so, I wish I can help, I'm sorry ...
but in 3 weeks time, I'll be done and hopefully do my best to help with everything ... Thanks so much for the great efforts

I don't have 3G,wifi still uses a lot of battery,I don't think it will last more than 2h with wifi on..
I'm going to upload the kernel..
my wifi was off today,except that for 10 mins that I would check something on internet........
BTW,If my wifi be turn on and I don't use it[just it be connected to my modem]it will drain my battery so fast??
u meant a new kernel,ha?
Ok firstly I'd like to say I just rooted my phone last week, this was my first time doing it. I decided to do it to get rid of various problems (I was led to believe rooting fixes everything). Some of them went away, some of them stayed, and new ones came up with the rooting.
I was coming a stock LG Optimus 2X P990 with Android 2.3.4 (had been updated because the phone was originally older 2.2.2 I think.. I'm not sure), and rooted to Nova HD Rom (ICS 4.0.4) using this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1508492. Oh also, I'm using SPB Shell launcher.
Problem #1 : Signal interuption. This one is probably the worst problem I have. I rely on my phone a lot as I don't have a ground line I need it to catch all my calls. About 2-3times a day I'll check my phone and I'll have no network. Sometimes the signal bars are frozen, they don't flutuate as I move to different areas. Sometimes there's an X on the signal logo. Either way, where I go inside/outside.. my phone can't get network. At first I tried to activate/de-activate 2G, turning on/off airplane mode to somehow reset the damn thing, but it just won't pickup. Then I tried a reboot, after the reboot.. still stuck at no signal. Then I finnally found how to fix it.. a full power OFF, and back ON. That's right each time I peak at my phone and it seems to be doing this, I need to make a complete shut down to wake his ass off.
Problem #2 : Battery drain. Well after days of reading on the subject apparently rooting my G2X was gonna improve it's battery life. Result is : no difference. I've bought a bunch of apps to try and keep track on what's wrong (BetterBatteryStats, Battery Monitor Pro). Just this morning I unplug my fully charged phone at 7:00:AM, and by 1PM (6hours later) it was done. There was about 1½hours of awake time, and about 50mins of screen on (perhaps half of this was using my 3G internet with various apps), no SMS or Calls. Usually if the phone is kept sleeping it can last about 24hours, do you guys think this is normal battery drain?
Problem #3 : Phone Clock off? Last week I was woken up by my alarm in the morning to find out I was about 40minutes late. Only happened once so far. I checked to see if I had set my alarm incorrectly.. nope, then I saw my phone time.. It was was OFF by 40mins... WTF? I went in the options and everything was fine... "Automatic date & Time" checked. I unchecked/checked it, and it didn't fix it, I had to reboot the phone for the time to come back to normal. Now hopefully that was only a one time problem, only now I have to live with the stress every morning my phones time might be wrong and I'll be late for work.
Problem #4 : Seriously where the hell is my FM radio. I use to listen a lot of FM radio before I rooted my phone , this is a feature I enjoyed. After rooting the FM radio application was gone, I said what the hell I'll just get another app from google play. NOPE, not a single FM radio app (that works). I tried a bunch of stuff, read on the forums and searched google for like 3hours and couldn't believe how much work I had put into such a simple thing.. this is so infuriating. The next day I kept looking but was never able to get anything working.. Oh and every where I look people say "lol why use FM radio when you can stream 1gazillion radio with given apps or whatnot". DAMMMMMMNN CAUSE MAYBE I DON'T HAVE INFINITE DATA PLAN? (In fact I have only 500megs/month). Seriously I'm so mad about this.
Problem #5 : Can't copy MKV files?! . I swear to got now that I rooted my phone each time I try to do something, something ****S UP. I just wanted to plug in my phone and copy some episodes of a serie I watch. Each time I tried copying the files : BAM "Windows Explorer has stopped working". So after another 2hours or so of trials and errors I figured the damn thing out . If I try to copy anything, it works. If I try to copy a *.MKV file, explorer crash. A solution I found is renaming my files to *.****YOU and then copy it and rename it back to MKV after it's done copying. Then I wondered, what if I rename a txt file to mkv, will it crash when being copied? Nope won't crash. So it's not just the extension? But why does it work if I remove the mkv extension.. oh good god how the hell am I supposed to understand anything.
Problem #6 : Can't play that MKV file?. Hey I finnally copied my file, the next day at work during my break I open my phone to watch it and.... well I realised there wasn't any video player included in my ROM, so luckly this time I found apps on the market that could play it. I used MX Player. Oh alright time to watch it? NOPE The video is all laggy and skipping frames like hell. Also audio is off and about each 10sec it mutes as if it was re-syncing the sound. Later the next evening I wasted another couple hours figuring this one out. What comes out often : they say use Dice Player instend! LOL Funny! The damn app won't even open my file!.
Playing with my phone I opened an APP I've pushased : System tuner pro. Looking at the CPU stats I noticed the first CPU was at 1.01Ghz, and the second one was at 216mhz? What the hell? I thought isn't that suposed to be 2x1ghz dual core?. So I cranked up the thing up to 1.01Ghz just like the other CPU, opened MX Player and already my video was almost watchable (a definitive improvement). I went back in System tuner pro, and overclocked the damn thing (even tough I had no idea if it was safe to do so) to 1.4ghz on both cores. Another significant improvement, this time when set this way I could watch my video! And the app onlyl reports a 5Celcius increase so I guess it's fine.
My only problem/question about that is why does each time I reboot my phone does the damn thing turns back to 216mhz? In fact why was it set to 216mhz in the first place? Considering all the problems I have and that I reboot my phone about 10times a day, I can't just go in system tuner the re-set my CPU settings each time?
Hopefully you guys can help me.. I'm exhausted I''ve been searching this forum and the web for the last couple days, I have like 1000tabs open in chrome. Btw this forum is a goldmine for information but damn it's a lot of reading.
Thanks in advance for your help
First, I'd like to say that I admire your keenness to detail in writing all of your issues down. Thing is, most of the problems you have are mainly because you flashed a modified ICS ROM. ICS roms by themselves are in beta stage, meaning there are some things that people compromise in flashing them (such as the missing FM radio), and you flashed a modified one, which might be the reason for certain power saving features such as your 2nd core down stepping to 216MHz.
Thing is, most of those were discussed in the NOVA ICS thread.
I would recommend flashing the more stable ROMs. Temasek's CM7, DjangoManouche by Carburano, Nostalgia by Topogigi (Froyo ROM) are the ones that pop-up in mind.
For a panic button, you can do a smartflash and it will restore all partitions to stock LG (wiping all user data of course).
Anyway, read the threads carefully. The opening posts and the last 5 pages at least. In order to get a feel of user experiences with the ROM.
Goodluck and happy flashing!

I also noticed that you mentioned you have a G2X? But you also mention having a P990. If you're on a G2X, you have a different forum section my friend. This forum section is specifically for the O2X.
Flashing an O2X ROM on a G2X may result in softbricks.
(Please disregard my advise about ROM choices if you're have an LG P999 G2X, those are all intended for the LG P990 O2X.)
yea my mistake when I typed G2x.. I meant O2X.
Thanks for the advice.
If I change my ROM will it wype all my user data again? (sorry im a newb at this)
The ROM itself might not. But I highly recommend you wipe your device since you're moving from 1 version of android (ICS) to another (Froyo or GB).
I'd recommend you CM7 (not CM9) based ROMs but since you need the FM radio, they have none AFAIK.. but you can try stock based ROMs that are still in active developments by the dev. Usually they worked just fine and will fix most of your problems.. again, don't use CM9 based..
Now for the network that is constantly disconnecting in background, this bug is actually introduced (at least for me) after the GB update (i assumed because of the changes LG has made to the baseband). There's no surefire fix for this problem.. try different combinations of basebands and RILs.. stick to whatever works for you
For battery, if you're in constant mobile network, 24 hours standby time is incredible IMO.. our battery is just too low in capacity to make it last any longer than that.. my only advice is minimize the number of apps in your device, because some of them always stay in RAM doing god knows what..
Good luck

Yes it will wipe them.. for baseband changes too.. so if you have apps that you'd like to preserve, back them up before flashing anything.. Titanium backup will do the trick, but some instability issues might appear if you choose to just backup and then restore everything up.. so choose all your important apps and leave the rest.. this way if something is wrong with the rom after restore, you can at least pinpoint which app is causing it

CM7 has a working FM radio since late last year.
Just an FYI.

Oh great.. that means you wouldn't mind using CM7.. i just don't bother checking for working FM radio app since long ago
why not try Temasek's kang build? I believe it is still the best stability wise..

CM 7 is Gingerbread
CM 9 is ICS

CM 7 is a fantastic phone, but it has 2 big problems:
-huge battery drain, specially when you enable Wifi!
-sporadic BSODs...specially when the phone is on charging...
Sadly i had to remove CM7 because i use a lot Wifi...i flashed Topogigi's nostalgia now..good rom

Which both are solved to about 95% by using etana kernel.
In short CM7 is the most feature complete ROM without sacrificing performance on our phones.

Just to give an update I have changed my ROM to a CM7 based rom like u guys said. Temasek's kang build
Problem 1. Signal interuption : problem is definitly solved.
Problem 2. Battery drain : definite improvement, battery now last at least twice longer
Problem #3 : Phone Clock off? : Didn't get the problem again, so solved.
Problem #4 : Seriously where the hell is my FM radio. : Well I got an FM radio app, but I can't make it work. It doesn't pick up the stations..
Problem #5 : Can't copy MKV files?! : Well this is solved yes and no. If I manage to make my computer detect the damn phone, I can copy whatever I want to. Thing is for some reason I can't seem to be able to plug my phone into Mass Storage mode anymore. It worked a couple of times and all of sudden even tough I didn't change any drivers, my computer just doesn't see the phone anymore. I get a "USB Composite Device" with a yellow "!" mark in my device manager.
I tried a bunch of stuff in the options, rebooting the phone and/or computer, nothing worked. I decided to try reinstalling the rom, and boom right after I pluged it in, the USB Mass storage mode worked. Once again after a couple of times it started doing the same thing (yellow "!" mark in my device manager), and no new drive being detected. This time I'm completly clueless on what's going on, and I have no idea what I can do about it.
I'm currently copying files using Samba Filesharing over Wi-Fi, but sometimes I'd prefer using my USB cable, and I just can't...
New problem!!! : I had my phone at work yesterday and pluged in my headphones to listen to music, start my music and the sound was playing in both my heatphone and phone speakers. I tried unplugging/replugging the headphone, now the sound only worked on the phone speaker. Looked up every phone option possible regarding sound or headphones.. couldn't find nothing. I did a reboot on the device, and bam fixed everything. Couple hours later I re-open my phone for music, same problem occured. Had to reboot the device for the sound to be back in the headphones.
Most problems are fixed, I Guess I'm satisfied, but damn can't everything just work...
JuiceDefender Premium will make it that your device loses 1% every 10 hours if screen is off.
Stock 20Q from LG is free of bugs and full of functions.
Might be a stupid advice,
but you do know that you need your headphones plugged in for FM radio? (they are the actual antenna)
In the settings you can also set your region (e.g. North America or Europe), since the frequencies differ a bit (e.g. Europe uses 0.1MHz 'jumps' and some regions 0.2MHz).

yea I know all of that don't worry.
The FM radio app is pretty buggy, today I made it worked. Once the app was started with the station selected, I hit the home button then I pulled down the tray and click on the FM app from there. All of sudden I started hearing sound.. it had worked.
Turns out the app is also the source of what is messing my headphones up. When I close and re-open the app, the sound will come out from the phone speaker, and that messes up every sound from the phone then on.

That FM radio thing is a bug that I haven't heard of actually. When you have the opportunity (or maybe on the next build #94, I'd suggest a full wipe then reflash).
Hi Guys,
i updated my OB three days ago and all fine
but i noticed now that haptic feedback doesn't work
and i already checked it in settings !!!!
it was working good in froyo.
another Q,
how i put OB silent when it rings for a phone
call ???
is there OTA update for OB ??
Does your phone vibrate on any other occasions?
To mute your phone when somebody calls you, you have to press the volume down button.
yes it viprate normally when phone call and
message and go keyboard vibrate feedback .
Well I guess you could try reinstalling the update, but first double check your settings.
And if you feel brave and are prepared to move to something better you could root your phone and install a custom ROM.
i think the haptic feedback is working well
but it is very very weak feedback not like
before when froyo is installed !!
can i controll it to high it up ??!!
For me it has always been weak.
I have never seen a setting in custom ROMs or stock for haptic feedback strength, but I believe that there might be a possibility to set it's strength somewhere in the ROM configuration files.
