Can I do this from the Xoom market app now?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

The particular file you have will be tied to the market until the update later today, so you can comment without buying

Hi guys, much water under the bridge since we released the app, and its working better than ever! Weve added previews, format selection and share menu integration!
Please visit the thread in the OP to get the app!

I'll buy it for sure right now.... but is this even possible without root?
Sent from my HTC Evo

Universally like our app, no, its not possible without root.
Some manufacturers have used the same general backend for their own screenshot functionality, including samsung. But generally it all depends on the quality of the adb implementation.
We use our own method to read the video buffer, but its a brute force solution (which is why we need root).

Guys, im about to roll out a big update for SER with nice new features. Please be ready to test it at your leasure!

If you ever release a solution that doesn't require me to tamper with my device and possibly void the warranty let me know. I wish the market filtered root only apps out.

Right... ill be sure to remember this post you made.
In any case - you can unvoid your warranty by unrooting at any time. I would have thought you would know this, having registered in 2009.
Also, there are no non-root screenshot apps.

What's the difference between Screenshot ER and Screenshot ER 2?

I only said possibly, but I was sure there were one or two apps out there at least for other devices that didnr need root. It doesn't break my heart, I use ddms for screenshots thank you anyways for your hard work.

For some reason Google suspended SER, so I've made a new package name and launched it again. There is no difference, apart from some bugfixes since the last version.

Hmmm... So what happened if we paid for screenshot er.... We need to buy the new version again? Cos I believe the original version won't be updated?

ATM its all up to Google. I will send anyone who has their original order number SER 2.
As you may or may not know, theres almost no direct support for the android market, so i cant say with certainty that they will eveentually restore the original SER.
It was probably one of our competitors flagging our apps. Bastards.

Hmm.. that's not very nice :/
Where should we sent the original order number to get our copy of SER 2?

Our market email please.

Well it's been a few days and no response..

New firmware update currently being tested. Expected release within two weeks.

News regarding the coming firmware update for the O2X.
LG Denmark confirms that the update is ready by next week or next week again - that is week 23 or 24.
- "The update is imminent, and are ready in one to two weeks, " says LG's Danish mobile manager Morten Aagaard to Mobilsiden.dk.
He explains that the update is currently being tested on all operators' networks in Denmark to ensure that it works one hundred percent - the same testing is currently also being performed in other European countries. When the update is a joint European release it must be released simultaneously in all countries.
"Therefore it is hard to say when exactly the update comes. It's fair enough that people get angry, but the update must of course also just be working, "says Morten Aagaard.
Source (in danish): http://www.mobilsiden.dk/nyheder/opdatering-til-lg-optimus-2x-udskudt-igen,lid.15776/
Soruce (english, translated): http://translate.google.com/transla...ing-til-lg-optimus-2x-udskudt-igen,lid.15776/

so let us hope that they can keep their promises this time

Well, it is still the newest statement from LG that we have at the moment.
But in general, I think every manufacturer should have a "I will believe it, when I see it" section. HTC, Samsung, Sony Ericsson to name a few. The list is long

haha, thats right, but iam lucky with my slick n.31 rom, very fast and stable, got no freezes or something.Iam anxios, how the devolopers will improve the new LG rom ^^

They probably are not sure they actually located the rebooting problem. Since it is (almost) impossible to reproduce the reboot they need such a long testing time, with no indication at all it will fix things lmao...

well. im not having any reboots...
what i want is gingerbread

I think we can believe them, that they try... it can't be easy to identify, and cure such a random thing... we should let them test it... no one would be satisfied if the just released a patch which won't help be patient people, LG knows he has to care, unless people won't buy their future stuff... they'll fix our problems

They will try it..and when they will see the first reboot or second then its time...!Update is ready reboots is working fine!let the update be released in the whole world... LOL
lets hope not to face something like that again for some fellas here with reboots problems...!

Here's a thought for LG, network operator's testing will only go so far to "break" the firmware.
IMHO, send the test firmware to the top 20 most chronic "battery pullers" on this forum. If they can all run it for a 2 weeks with no problems, it would certainly be a big improvement in stability.

Good news. If without any solution, probably, we need to change to use another mobile.

Official Gingerbread is out! (Update: News leak, not officially out as of now)

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...&set=a.454136132706.248744.96991262706&type=1
Half an hour ago I spotted this post LG Mobile Singapore posted on FB, I haven't tried it yet, but it's definitely believable (as we could even bring it to the stores for the update).
I'll try it when I can, not really able to do it at the moment.
Any Singaporeans tried it yet? Is it available in other countries? Is it working well (i.e. does it still have heating up and BSOD issues like in Froyo)? Is the kernel updated? Is anybody able to dump it for the benefit of developers if it's not out for other regions yet?
Note: I'll answer the above questions myself if I can do it before anybody else does it, however till then, may there be kind souls to help! =D
Edit: Sorry, it's just a little leak from some itchy fingers. It's not available as of now.

What's the kernel version?

omg. they deleted their post. seems like a leak. gona try to update now.
edit 1 : seems like its fake. some users update it and say it was 2.2.2

The FB picture guide is definitely still online, follow my link in the first post.
I'm going to try now, if it doesn't appear I might just call LG to ask.
Edit: No updates available. Oh well. Seems like it's just a little leak from someone's itchy fingers. At least we have confirmation that it's coming soon!

[Q] Optimus 2X or 3D?

Hi,
LG gives me the possibility to change my Optimus 2X to a O3D for free.
Would you do this or would you stay at the 2X?

What? How?? :O :O

The CPU or SoC is more efficient than Tegra2 and It has the industries best GPU I think, I'd take it.

In Germany, LG gives this possibility to all customers, if you ask them. They do it because they don't know, when GB will be released for the 2X.
But it's only for Germany, I don't know, if LG makes this in other countries, too. Maybe you should ask LG.
I'm waiting for the reply from LG and in a few days, I'll send my 2X to LG, if nothing goes wrong.

They won't even give us a brand new device as a replacement here! So, I don't see why they would give us a BRAND NEW AND MORE EXPENSIVE device as a replacement! :/
But then, no harm trying..
Will ask 'em.

I was offered this here in the UK but declined as the O3D is chunkier and heavier and I prefer the O2x hardware. Now running GR4 and very happy with it. Not a single bsod or freeze so far and very snappy response

Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium

Strange they would change your phone due to not having Gingerbread, as the replacement also doesn't have Gingerbread.
If CM builds were further along, I'd probably consider it.

But the O3D has nearly the same hardware than the Nexus Prime, so it'll be one of the first CM9 smartphones.

I wish I could ask them but the danish customer support site is down for maintenance :/

Kick up a fuss, contact Warren Lewis who is the LG Mobile UK head and be a pain in the ass. I'll PM you contact details of one of their Service Managers. She was the one who offered me the swap. My worry is that you might end up with a refurb O3D though...

Camera, sound etc. should be the same (except display and some other minor things), too. One of the CM devs said, the O3D will be one of the first CM9 devices because of that.

Thanks. There doesn't seem to be much love around here for the tri-band S4. Guess people have moved on to newer phones, or more people have the single band S4.
I haven't seen any indications of this actually being pushed yet. There's nothing on Kies yet either.

Yeah I know. Just wishful thinking on my part. I swear I don't think this has actually started rolling out yet. I've scoured the internet and I haven't seen one report of anyone getting it. Nothing on sprint's forums, nothing on androidcentral's forums, nothing here, nothing anywhere. I'm so spoiled by xda posting the links like the same day an update is released. The last update for the single band S4 was posted here almost immediately. Again, no love for the tri-band S4. I may actually have to wait for Sprint/Google/Samsung to push it to my phone...

I'm in Memphis, which is kind of middle of the country, on the Mississippi river. I don't really think location has anything to do with how they roll the updates out. I've always understood it was by random serial number selection. I don't know if that's true or not, but it sounds reasonable.

Yeah I remember the sextape leaks. I've had the SII, SIII, and both S4s (single and tri-band). So I remember flashing several leaked builds on my SIII particularly. It's painfully obvious that hardly anybody has or cares about the tri-band S4 around here. The single band still seems to get some support, but I guess there just aren't that many people that have the tri-band version. Plus a lot of people have moved on to the S5, which I'm going to do myself soon. I figure this will probably be the last update the S4 gets, and NG2 was probably the last update for the single band as well.

"Biggest" change is International WiFi calling. Also HD Voice Icon - which I don't need. I can tell when I'm using HD Voice because it sounds TERRIBLE. Sounds like it's using the lowest possible bit-rate and the worst possible compression that they can still call audible (NOT intelligible) speech. I can't believe how horrible it sounds. I can't believe they are making such a big deal about downgrading the voice quality. I guess they think if they advertise enough about how great it is we won't notice how TERRIBLE it actually is. I literally have a hard time understanding what people are saying when HD voice is active. It sounds like they have a pillow over their microphone. It's stupendously bad. Call quality used to be one of Sprint's few strengths. It makes me wonder if anybody in charge has a clue. I even called and got someone in tech support to ask about it and before I could even finish my question he said "it sounds pretty bad doesn't it?" VOLTE can't come soon enough... And they'll probably find a way to make that sound terrible too.
I know in THEORY HD Voice should sound better, so maybe it's just Sprint's implementation of it that's lacking. And maybe it's just bad where I live. I haven't had any experience with it anywhere else. But my experience with it where I live has been really bad.
I'm not the only one who's not thrilled about "HD Voice":

No I haven't gotten it yet either. I kind of understand why google takes so long to push their updates out, and then I kind of don't understand it either. When windows has updates, they are available to everyone immediately. When Apple updates iOs, it's available to everyone immediately. If they can do it, I wonder why google doesn't/can't do the same. I mean google is a big company, surely they can make their servers robust enough to handle the load of people downloading updates if Microsoft and Apple can. I know part of it is we are on a wireless network, but Samsung could at least make them available in Kies right away. That would take that traffic off of the wireless network. And again, Samsung surely should have the resources to handle the load of people downloading updates. It's so frustrating that they take their sweet time pushing out Android updates. It's the same with their own products. I have several Nexus tablets in my family, and it takes forever for them to get updates too.
Anyway, I will let you know when/if I finally get the update.
