WOW, i will not be buying LG TV's anytime soon. First LG product I ever owned is this G2x. I get warranty on everything I buy because you never know what can go wrong. Warranty has saved my butt on more than one occasion.

The things that make ya go hmm....

Lol, wow the irony!

Haha wow... go figure..
Maybe that's why gingerbread is taking so long..

I have the top of the line LG Blu-ray player as well from about 2 years ago, the BD-370 and it reboots every time I put Avatar in the damn thing.
that being said I've owned a lot of LG devices and only had problems with the blu-ray player, my G2X has ben pretty damn solid.

If you notice he's using a Cable remote. Probably programmed the remote wrong so it was sending the wrong codes to the TV.
Plus he's using the "All-off" button, which sends on-off codes to multiple devices, which could share the same code with the TV. I have a Harmony One and know the efforts of getting a remote programmed effectively.
I just can't blame the TV. What about if you walked up to the TV and hit the power button? It would probably work. Also, LG's have a MAIN power switch at the bottom right next to the buttons where you could do a manual power down... no need to unplug it.
The guy just seems like a noob and doesn't know what he's doing thus makes me believe he was the problem.
I have a 55" LG and it works fantastic (not saying my fantastic TV speaks for all).

Very interesting observation. But who walks up to the TV to turn it off anymore? That's so 1986.

I have an LG Infinia TV and Blu Ray player and it's the best picture I've seen in any TV set! No problems here!
Just on the G2X!
....

I have an LG TV an love it. Not a single issue and like it better than my brother in laws Sony with the same specs. Now the Vizio I owned for about a week.....that is another story. It did randomly turn itself off, did it about 5 times the first week. When I returned it to Sams Club, the guy said the electronics manager had the same issue with the same model. Looked it up online and seems it was a common issue with bad soldering. I have also heard that TVs sold at Walmart and Sams Club are assembled in Mexico and they use things like plastic screws and little solder to try to make it cheaper, where at other stoers they are the same parts but assembled in Japan or elsewhere. My lesson was to never buy any TV from Walmart or Sams, or a Vizio.

LG TV's are BEAST will admit this youtube vid is prety funny hahaha
Idk all blu-ray players except for the ones with wifi/updates have been having issues playing back the newer kinds. And the G2x is their first attempts in a smartphone market, and I'm loving mine. I have a 50" plasma 240hz refresh rate with a 3,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio.

Isn't bit to offtopic?. Moved to the OT forums.

that would be annoying, esp after paying 2K

oh god, i hope my LG netbook don't start turning off and on by itself

lol very funny!

I fail to find it amusing, but that's just me.

System reboots during audio playback

I've been experiencing weird issues mostly during Spotify audio streaming as well as during playing local files and a video once. It will play music fine for a couple songs then it will stop all sound yet show that it is still playing. From that point generally if I skip to the next track it will hard reboot. I tried a factory reset already but it hasn't helped. Anyone know my options here? I'd return it but I dropped the phone about a foot yesterday and the glass cracked near the volume buttons, it doesn't go over the screen but it's enough that I couldn't return it now.

My wife was complaining about something similar today, except hers didn't reboot, but she also might not have tried to skip track. Just to mention though, Spotify dropped an updated version to the play store today. Perhaps that might fix your issue?

You're not the only one. A friend dropped his on Saturday and got a crack all the way across the back/home/menu buttons. I thought these things were supposed to have Gorilla Glass on them... Anyways, you could always go to AT&T's website and purchase the insurance since you're still in the 30 day window, for $6.99/mo, and then pay the $125 deductible to get a replacement...

Unfortunately it has happened during a video, during Spotify (multiple versions, found a list of many old APKs on their forum) and also during Pandora so I'm not really sure what to do but wait and hope someone with more knowledge points me in the right direction.

I'll probably just leave it the way it is since it doesn't actually affect the glass. If I ever figure out how to add a warranty I'll probably do it now so I can replace it once I'm fed up with looking at the crack. Thanks for the suggestions!

After you log in to myatt, if you hover over the myatt menu, and then wireless, there's an option about mobile insurance. If you go there, it gives you the option to add insurance to eligible devices.

I did a factory reset and installed only Spotify and the reboot occurred in 5 songs and was accompanied by a loud high pitched sound that persisted until it finally rebooted. Looks like I have dud.

Might be worth seeing if you can get it fixed under warranty for that issue Ewen disregarding the damage...

Yeah you're right, I contacted HTC first (haha) to see what they have to say about replacing it even though the glass is cracked. If it ends up being 200+ to get it fixed I don't know what I'll end up doing. Sucks because other than the audio reboots and the crack this phone is my favorite android phone ever and I've had a lot of them.

Similarly, I've listened to Pocket Casts and Spotify each for hours on end without issue, so it definitely sounds like an RMA is the best bet. Good luck

Thanks, it's in the box and ready to ship. Hopefully there is some development going on by the time I get a working one back, it kinda surprises me there isn't more interest in this. It's the first Android phone that felt right in my hand, was decently quick, easy to get to stock and had great battery life.

HTC One Remote not working with any hardware

I have been playing with the HTC One Remote for a few days now. No matter what I do I can not get it to work with any of my TV's, Cable Boxes, or Receivers. I am not sure if this is a app issue or a hardware issue. I am not sure how to make sure.
I have put the remote to the Phone and it states the phone learned the function. But when I try to use it on the TV it still will not do anything.
I still have a week to return or exchange the phone. Is there a way I can find out if this is a hardware issue or not? I have done some searching and seems like this App is hit or miss. Did see there is a update coming. It will be after my return period.
Thanks for any help

I just saw somebody post a similar problem with the s4 remote and it was resolved when they cleared the cache on the remote app. Maybe try that?

Can you see a red light (from the IR blaster) when you press a button, say, mute?
You should be able to see it, otherwise it could be defective.
Also, as Blue1k asked, what are your devices?

I just got a hold of someone else HTC One. I tried it in my TV setup and it worked great. So it my phone. So at least I found it out before my 14 days where up.

As I said earlier, you should be able to see a red light. It goes on for a fraction of a second, but it's there and clearly visible.
Well, at least you found it out in time!

Got a new phone. Loving this APP!

[Q] Return my Chromecast and buy one that I can root?

I got my Chromecast just a few weeks ago and I'm a Best Buy "Reward Zone" Member. Being a Reward Zone Member gives me up to 60 days to return purchased items back to the store....with a receipt, obviously. When I got mine, it was quickly automatically updated and I was never afforded the opportunity to root my Chromecast. Do ya'll think I can package my Chromecast back up and return it to Best Buy and purchase another one that is HOPEFULLY still running the original version that allows for it to be rooted? Basically what I'm wondering is if I return my Chromecast back to my local Best Buy retail store and buy another one, will the "newer" one that I pick up still be running the original system that they initially shipped with that enabled for users to root it? I'm asking because I really have wanted to root this thing, but just never have been able to, due to it receiving the automatic OTA shortly after using it for the first time a few weeks ago. I wouldn't think that the more recent Chromecasts would come shipped with the newer OTA's already, would they? I'm just hoping to pick up another one that I can actually root. Ya'lls thoughts?

Why?
The number of unrooted devices is truly tiny, so developers for it are fleetingly few. Also there's no significant advantage to being unrooted.
Couple that with the infetesimal chance of getting an original release device from Best Buy begs the effort.
I don't mean to be unduly negative but such little chance for such minor gain, again, why?

I think you mean "rooted"

Thank you, correct, rooted.

I think that if you can have a rooted chromecast, it's a good thing.
I do admit that at present there are no advantages to being rooted.
But the future is unknown.
Example : what if google decides to never permit the general developer casting apps like fling or allcast? Theoretically, developers can totally rewrite the chromecast firmware to be the device they want it to be. However it will be very difficult or impossible to install such new firmware on an unrooted chromecast.
So the only benefits are unknown future imaginative features which google may never allow.

I bought another Chromecast from BestBuy on Friday and it still had the original firmware. This BestBuy had been sold out of Chromecast already, so this was probably their second or third shipment. So it's definitely possible to get an original firmware Chromecast, although there is no guarantee.

I'm not for sure, likewise for anyone else, when Google will be shipping these devices with updated firmware, so I'm gonna take my chances and get another one soon. And the reasons mentioned in the above posts are the main driving factors for my decision. If I'm going to spend $35 of my hard earned money, I'm gonna get every penny out of it that I can. Being locked down like Google has us now, was not in my plans when I first bought this thing.

You must not allow the chromecast to connect to a wifi ssid / network which has Internet.
In my case, I had an old asus (dd-wrt) router laying around. I powered it up with nothing plugged into it. No rj45 cat 5/6 cables connected. Switched my phone wifi to this wireless ssid network. Ran the chromecast app, it found the chromecast, set up the chromecast to use this no Internet network by selecting it & typing in the router's password. After setting up the chromecast, the app shows the firmware version as being 12072.
If you allow the chromecast to connect to a wifi network which has Internet, then it will quickly auto update to a firmware version which can not currently be rooted.

The rooted firmware bin files from tvall have the auto update function disabled.

I just got my Chromecast a couple of days ago and have been reading several threads. I connected it to WiFi with no Internet and found that it still has 12072. Is there any way ti still use Allcast or Fling if I use one of tvall's images to disable updates? I found a previous version of the Chromecast apk and installed Allcast B4 but Allcast just comes up with a blank page. I thought it might be possible to stream local content with no Internet access.

Technically, I'd say that you would be able to, since it wouldn't be using the internet to stream the video. I'm FAR from an expert on all this though...lol

You had better do it QUICK, and I mean SUPER-HUMAN QUICK !! lol You're probably up the creek if it's been on for any decent amount of time. As far as I know, as soon as you turn it off and whenever you power it back up, it'll install that automatically downloaded OTA that it has already downloaded behind the scenes and stored on its memory. This is what *SHOULD* happen...just what I've heard by things I've read on here.

Nope, my first Chromecast installed the auto-OTA and each following update after leaving it plugged in, so I just went and got another Chromecast a few days ago. I ordered the recommended OTG cable from Amazon.com this past Thurs or Fri night. It's scheduled to arrive here at our house sometime around the end of this week(Thurs-Sat) sometime. After it gets here, I'm gonna root it before playin around with it. And if you're wondering, YES, the 2nd Chromecast that I got is STILL sitting in the box, just waiting for the OTG cable to arrive. It's too tempting to take it out and play around with it, but I know I had better just hold off till that cable gets here, otherwise I'd be just throwing that money that I spent on the cable down the drain.

Any ideal of which OTG cable from amazon to get? I see them from 1.00 to 10.00. I don't want to spend more than I have to.

Anyone else getting a notification about a mobile dock update available?

As the topic says, I'm getting a mobile dock firmware update notification, long press on the notification says it comes from Asus Services, so it seems to me to be totally legit and nothing abnormal, but I'm hesitant to do it since I've never on any of my other transformers received such a notification before.
Anyone gotten this? Was it a good update?
Thanks

It's legit. I haven't seen any source code but it fixed the totally messed up battery stats for the dock for me....

So I RMA'd it, as not long after this post the keyboard dock stopped charging, and the update wouldn't go through.
They sent it back to me, still broken. Called them back, I'm getting free shipping to them this time, and it will be "expedited" maybe, and this time, they are going to investigate if it is "unrepairable" ....
Why the hell does a company that can make such great products have to fail so damn hard? Asus is really not doing well with this tablet, and I strongly suspect they need to fire their entire service department.
