O2X noob needs help. :)

Just got myself an O2X. I know that it is not the best dual core phone, but this is all I could get in India for my budget. It's a great phone except for the lack of RAM.
My questions are :
1. Is the CM7.1 fully functional?
2. Does anyone face SODs(Sleep Of Death), i.e. sometimes when my phone is in sleep mode.. it sometimes does not wake up!! I have to take the battery out to switch it on!! But that happens only once in a while.. I'd appreciate any kind of help!!!
3. How much space do we have for storing apps and data? i.e. How much space does the /data have?
4. What are the best tweaks/ways to conserve battery?
Thank You..!

1. FM Radio is missing
2. Some do, some don't
3. 1.5GB on /data
4. Use the phone less

@Rusty thanks.. but how do I fix the SODs?? Will flashing CM7 help? ..or should I get my phone replaced??

Unknown, I don't seem to don't suffer with them.
But there is an effort going on with some kernel stuff to sort it for CM.

Does anyone know the cause? :/

Someone please suggest what I should do to get rid of SODs!! I am very disappointed I spent 24K Rupees for this phone which is defective!! :'(

Unlikely a new rom will help (I flashed FR19 but still had the same issue).
Best thing is take it back for an exchange. Some handsets suffer some don't.
Hope you get an handset that doesn't once exchanged as people without the BSOD (sadly I'm not one of them and mine is being 'repaired' at the moment) say it's a great phone and they're more than happy with it.

Have never had screen of death. Used the phone for about 20 minutes before going custom rom and kernel so I can't say if it's hardware related or not.

I just hope it is a software issue.
And.. when I go to get it replaced.. how am I supposed to reproduce it??!!!? It happens very randomly!!!
Can someone who suffers from the same issue throw light in this regard?! Please!
I am freaking out!! :'(

I seem to be one of the few who had a device like that, which healed. It used to spontaneously reboot, die while charging, all the usual stuff.
I can in no way promise this will fix it for you, but you should at least try to run an update via the LG Mobile Update tool (not an OTA update, not Smartflash.) If you're already updated, flash an older baseband, and run the (LG Mobile) update procedure again.
All I can say is that after I did that, the phone has been rock solid, running exactly the same firmware as before the update.
I repeat, this could very well be, and probably is, a coincidence, but as long as you have 30 minutes to spare, it cannot hurt.
Good luck.

Thank you so very much for showing me some hope!!!
I CAN SPARE A WHOLE DAY TO GET MY PHONE FIXED!!!
I will update to Gingerbread.. if the update is available.. or whatever new update is available..!!
I pray to God that my O2X gets healed!!
The update won't erase my data, right?
I just saw on the bill that goods once sold will not be taken back or replaced!! So.. If I were to get a replacement I'd have to use my warranty!!

One more Q.. which version of CM7 is fully functional and stable..?

Gingerbread isn't available yet, but that's beside the point, after you've done the update you can install any rom you like.
The update WILL erase your data, including the internal SD-card. Backup first.

Far from it, you're free to do whatever you like. If you want to see if there is a magic fix in the LG update tool, you'll update the official ROM using that first, and install your rom of choice later.

You should probably read the last 4-5 pages of the forum, that'll give you a good impression of how CM7.1 has been recieved.
Prerequisite is a rooted phone, which you can do with Superoneclick. There are many paths from there, but the easiest is to download ROM Manager, from there install ClockworkMod, download CM7.1 to your sdcard, boot into ClockworkMod and install CM7.1.
There are a ton of threads with information, how-tos and FAQs, search and you will find.
Good luck.

I'd recommending getting rid of bloatware first before trying other ROMs as it us the least intrusive way if I may describe it as such.
Install Android Assistant and find which apps are running in the background that you don't need at all. I found that must LG bloatware is useless and persistently running in the background. freeze things like Car Home, antivirus, LG email, sns and unwanted widgets.
Car Home used to be a major problem if I remember correct.
root your phone using super one click and install systemapk manager and use it toFreeze the unwanted apps and widgets.
I found that doing this improved battery life and stability.
If it doesn't work you can easily reverse by unfreezing and even unroot with super one click.
I'd recommend trying this to see if it makes your phone more usable.

oh and go to the LG Service centre and tell them about it....tell them it happens..or just write them a mail..ur warranty will not be nullified...if **** happens, we always have consumer forums..

Me and my Mum have to same phone, same store, same month. Both have different issues.
With 7.1 i can't make phonecalls longer than a minute or so or the phone give BSOD, my mum's works fine but the sound is horrid. Same software. Might try new BB&RIL, but every phone seems to be a lil bit different

Thanks, bro!
So.. I should just go to the LG Service Center with the whole box and ask for a replacement, huh?
And what do I do if they deny replacement or say that I'll have to use my warranty? :-\
Oh... one more thing. How long will the replacement process take? Will I have to stay without a phone for weeks??! :-\ :-(
Also.. they will give me a sealed pack as a replacement, right?
Sorry for all the questions. But do answer 'em patiently.
I am just curious and excited to get a phone that actually works well! :-\ :-(

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini SM-G730A downgrade to older android firmware? 2.2

i have a s3 mini phone that has a very new model (g730a) that looks like nobody else on the internet has. there are no threads on this entire forum about this model number, and i am trying to downgrade the stock firmware, 4.2.2, to a very old firmware, 2.2 (froyo), is there any way of doing this? (this phone was bought from an at&t store) how do people even downgrade? where do they get their downloads from?
if there is "no way" of me doing this easily by downloading something, how can i do it myself?
really need some help with this, thanks!

why would you want to downgrade?

i just think froyo looks cool, and i see it still functions with the play store and that. i've heard of cyanogen mod or whatever it's called yet don't know what it is nor how to use it. i am brand new to this android world. was told that this site had everything

Device was not here when froyo was so you will never be able to downgrade. It came with jb, so that's what you will have.

Try the "one-click-root" that someone posted in general. It might work. Then you can take a look on what's inside, and maybe have a recovery built.

You CAN install any android version that is older that you want, but it isn't created for the device. So somebody would need to develop drivers for it to work on the particular version of android.
Short answer: No you can't do it
Long answer: It can be done but a skilled person would need to develop drivers to make it work.
In this day and age creating drivers to downgrade from 4.1 to 2.2 it's not worth the time it takes.

Factory Unlocking
Has anyone successfully factory unlocked the S3 mini SM-G730 att. Or even paid for an unlock code?

This is a G900F firmware, I already have one of those (this download isn't complete yet, so not sure if it's the same one). From your PM's it looked like you had the SM-G900G model? Relooking now, even though you claimed G, your firmware about page says F. Silly, we could've been further than we are now yesterday, if not for that mistake

Ricky's PMs were titled "[S5 SM-900G ROOT]". I realise now that that meant SM-G900. However, there will be SM-G900x models where x is almost every letter available in the alfabet. As such, it looked to be two different models

Impossible to say. Quite likely models A, B and C will be compatible with eachother, as well D and E, but then A, B and C won't be compatible with D and E. (example names, not real models). As is the case with the other S and Note models.

This is the dump of the S5 G900F variant...is correct?

since you just left the Samsung world, ill let you know about nexus roms.. nexus roms always have complete source, no hacking needed. what that means is that they all are stable and efficient. unlike samsung, that doors not provide full source. oh, and cm is not as popular on the nexus as on other devices, just for the fact that anyone can create a stable rom, not just your basic cm.

easiest way to root and unlock is the right way, not a toolkit. its a nexus, google makes it easy to unlock and root.
1. fastboot oem unlock, will unlock your bootloader
2. then you flash twrp recovery
3. then you flash supersu in your new recovery
4. then reboot, with root.
5. takes about 3 most minutes, if youre slow.
that way you actually learn something instead of using a toolkit and not learning anything.

ok, i gotto stop you quickly.. all US nexus 6 are exactly the same device, no matter where you bought it. theres no verizon section for it. it will run any rom or kernel listed here. and to root, just follow the instructions in the stickies..
1. unlock your bootloader
2. fastboot flash twrp recovery
3. flash supersu in your recovery
4. boot up with root

All of the US N6's are the exact same no matter what the carrier is. So all the methods for unlocking at rooting are the same. I am on Verizon as well, and coming from the Droid Turbo, this was most definitely welcome news. The easiest way to go about unlocking the bootloader and rooting would be to use the WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit. There are many YouTube videos that can walk you through the process but I personally recommend the ones by Root Junky as those are the ones I used when I first got my Nexus and was unsure of the exact process. Welcome to the community!

i recommend rooting the first time properly, it doesnt take longer. but using a tiolkit, you wont learn a thing, so when the toolkit messes up(and they do), you wont think that your phone is bricked, because youre clueless about fixing issues. once you know how to do it properly, then toolkits are fine to use.

Lost me but I can concur. If don't know what you are doing the toolkit is fastest way to brick your device. Been there. Done that. If didn't have fastboot would be wearing the T-Shirt.

the post above mine.. i got quoted, but all he posted was L. lol?

Thanks guys love the layout of the phone but hate the size. Will the 2015 Nexus 5 be closer to the size of the Galaxy S5? I'm thinking of taking the 6 back and waiting on the Nexus 5
