Just a friendly little anecdote for you. Do with it what you will...
I worked tech support in a call center for a large mobile provider and was terminated for posting on forums after they managed to link me to some posts I had made. They did this by monitoring network traffic in the building, which lead them to my computer since I was posting them while at work. I was fired for the content of the posts, although they were all completely harmless, such as your post. They felt I was divulging proprietary information.
For a long time I kicked myself for posting on the forums with my work computer, but really I should have been kicking myself for posting at all, from any device. In the end, just ask yourself if the risk is worth the reward.
Now, the bright side of this, 6 months later I landed a great job as a network admin for a great company.
Oh and about that company I used to work for, their name started with a T and ended with a Mobile.

well thats not very smart for you to do.....
do you really think im getting on this website from work...
im not DENSE like some people...

I think you're missing the bigger point here. As I said in the post, the conclusion I made in the end was that it really wasn't worth it to post at all, regardless of where I was posting. They could just as easily linked me to the posts using other methods, such as overhearing something, or someone tattling. Or maybe I became facebook friends with someone on the forums, and they reported me. There are plenty of ways.
Nevertheless, I did say to do what you will with the story. But seriously, consider the whole risk vs. reward part of it. What are you really getting out of posting small bits of 'insider' information? Probably not much. And believe me, I didn't think I was divulging anything proprietary, but it didn't matter what I thought. My posts were almost identical to yours. I wish someone had said this to me back then (even though I landed a better job in the end).
Anyhow, good luck to you. You probably won't get burned like I did, but as they say... **** happens.

Can someone explain why a rooted phone will not work with the OTA? Is having CWM also an issue? What do I need to do to prepare my phone before the update arrives?
I also do not understand why TMo would not publish the update on their site like they do with all the windows phones.

Absolutely right. I later learned that I wasn't the first to be terminated for posting, and I'm sure I won't be the last.
In my last comment I mentioned that I wish someone had given me this bit of 'advice' long ago, but come to think of it, someone pretty much did. I distinctly remember someone replying to me one day and saying that they know other employees had gotten in trouble for posting. I brushed it off just like this guy/gal.
Just trying to pay it forward

You need to revert back to stock for the update. This is because the update is designed to build on the stock OS, not whatever you have on your phone. As far as rooting it and leaving it stock, not sure what the root does to block the ota.

I can't be positive, but perhaps its not so much rooted as flashed with another ROM. I've heard of rooted phones being updated. I've not heard of cooked ROMs being updated.
But, I know nothing for sure.

I don't know if this means anything other than what it says. But I have tried to connect to get software update and it keeps giving me the old can't connect at this time message. Could it be that the servers on their end are overwhelmed with others trying to do the update if it is indeed out?
And another question...I am not a T-Mo suscriber. I use Simple Mobile. Would the update get pushed to my G2x or would I have to manually install it? Thanks

Thanks guys. I am running rooted stock and stayed that way on purpose so I could get the update. I also stayed stock because my phone runs like a champ. Never had a reboot and everything works as intended.

You are probably better off waiting a few days to let our developers get a hold of it anyway.

When there are 'Official' releases to multiple carriers, then each carrier would get a push, based on their own agreements with LG. If the phone is a regionally sold phone, also called unbranded, a push is made to them also. Most commonly, you see the unbranded phones get the update first, since the carrier testing does not have to be done.
But, in reality..it is all a crap shoot....so you're still waiting, no matter what.

Anyone have any solid information on this though? There are just too many threads of "I just heard the GB update..." with no solid ROM information or even a picture.

Yeah, most likely this is a false alarm. I just hope this long awaited update will fix the GPS (takes forever to lock). That's the only issue I have with mine. I don't have random reboots or overheating like others do.

So, I was wondering....where does one go to get 'solid' information? We're here in a community forum, using fake names. More than half of us can't vote, work in a burger king or in college. We all have a tendency to read and search and google/bing about the G2x.
I for 1 couldn't tell solid information from rumor. I will say this though...if the information you have, comes from Twitter, Android Police, TMONEWS, or anything with a 'Forum' in front of it....its a rumor. If your great news starts with, " I just talked to a TMobile CS...." its a rumor. If you just talked to your friend, who works in a store or is a TMobile CS agent, its a rumor.
You'll either get an OTA on your phone, and recieve the update which you can prove with a screen shot. Or you'll plug into the LG support tool and update, which you can validate again, with screenshots...
All else is rumors. Please post all rumors in the HTC Sensation forum...where they are living the dream.

[Q] X10 AirPad 7" Android Tablet

does anyone know how to root this device, and or have any custom roms for this?
I am sorry if this is on the wrong thread, I couldn't find the right place.

It's already rooted for you.
It just went on sale today so it's a bit early for custom ROMs to show up, but I'm sure they will.

Seeing as how I manage the Airpad program at X10 I'm hardly impartial. Hopefully someone else can reply too. But about the stock -- We have 3 shipments arriving this week and next week.

Its a shame i don't see anyone trying to port CM7 to this.
I would buy it for sure then

I have to ask why. You haven't even used it, how do you know that the stock firmware isn't great to begin with?

I assume he just really loves CM7

Airpad questions
Does anyne know if the mini-usb is really an On The
Go compatible port, meaning it can act as either client
or host usb port? I have an OTG mini m to a f adapter.
Does it auto recognize it or does it need an app like
the NOOK color?
How does it handle USB host port (a f) flash drive
mount / dismount? Is there built in support or do
you need to issue the commands from an ADB shell
or a terminal shell?
I'm interested in being able to backup all the
partitions (regions), would I just do DD's for each
/dev or is there a tool / app to do that? Something
like clockworkmod recovery's nAndroid backup
/ restore functionality?
Does it boot from the microSDHC like the NOOK
color?
thanks

Kev.. I have a very important customer who fell in love with the Airpad 7 and wanted all his field inspectors to have one. He also ask me to custom develop an app he needs in the field. ALthough I have been a software developer for over 30 years, I have never develop for a device like Airpad. Is there a resource you can point me to for developers? TIA..

If it's already rooted, why doesn't Titanium Backup work? It displays a message that it could not acquire root privileges.
Attempts to use su from a terminal screen yields a message that says that UID 10067 not allowed to su.
So, is it rooted or not?

NO ANDROID MARKET but not horrible
Overall the tablet is pretty good for the price. Just picked one up and am posting from it now. I am VERY disappointed in the lack of the android market and i hate the amazon app store. Limited selection and emails me for every free download because it is a "purchase"(lame).
Good little ereader and web browser. Much more useful with the apps i copied from my other android devices using root explorer. Battery life could be better but as an appliance around the house, we are always close to an outlet so it isnt a concern for how we are using it.
The gTablet with CM7 is still my primary tablet for on the go. It is heavier and more cumbersome than the airpad but having my google services is more important on the go.
I will primarily be using this tablet for my home automation controller, at least until cm# is ported or they give me android market access

Hi Kevin. Quick question on airpad. I'm in BC Canada and can't get amazon.com on this device and I also can't get access to the android market. All I want is access to a netflix app for streaming to my TV. I managed to download the slideme app store but they don't carry netflix. Any ideas? Thanks rgk123

Because it is stock android, which means no BS and for most people that is enough.
@elias, the only option you have if you want ICS and don't want to root is to wait for the official OTA which should be rolling out soon. Once you have ICS from the OTA you won't be able to roll back to GB without rooting (someone correct me if I'm wrong on this one)

I think that has very little to do with being a power user. NeXus phones have always been developer based phones made to mod, root, and hack. People that buy these phones, for the most part, buy them because of that and not because they want a vanilla android experience. Of course there are roms out that can get you close to that but I would venture to guess that if you took a pole of neXus users 99% of them want a custom experience, not a vanilla one. So for me to ask why someone would buy a Nexus and not root it is probably a question that a lot of people would be interested in. And nice side ways attempt at a jab with the comment about people spending to much time here. People that are here enjoy their time here. Enjoy learning. Enjoy modding, rooting, hacking. But I don't expect some one with a stock development phone to understand that. You have your hobbies we have ours.

That is definitely why some people choose a Nexus devices, but there is also a large amount of people who choose them for "quick" updates and a stock experience. It is the only way to achieve those things. Some people probably also choose the Nexus S because it is a really nice, smaller handset with an awesome screen.

Don't forget, some people got them because best buy was giving them away for free.
Not me, although I did get mine for free, I got mine for "fastboot OEM unlock".

As others have said, this was the wrong section for this, but I will not harp on that.
I also want to apologize for a very poor showing from our community. Sometimes this forum is an embarrassment, especially in juxtaposition to other Linux communities. There are a good deal of very arrogant people here, who just cant seem to help jumping all over the new guy. Im surprised no one called you a noob.
With all of that said, I want to agree with your posting above. Speaking as a system admin for a mid-sized company, your reasoning for owning this phone is the exact reason why it has been handed out to every employee here.
Now on to your question. Because of the age of our phone, the development community behind it is very mature. Not the users, but the tools. It is very hard to brick your phone, in fact you might say you would have to go out of your way to truly brick the device. You might get a soft brick, but even that is hard to do and is still easily fixed via ODIN.
As others have said, there are very easy to follow instructions on unlocking and rooting this device. These are not really hacks, as this phone was meant to have these things done to it. I do understand the hesitation, though after the first time you go though doing it, you will wonder what you were so scared of in the first place. You can always give this thread a try, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250583&highlight=one+click+root
to make things easy on yourself. After you get it rooted, familiarize yourself with making a NAND backup in the custom recovery first thing. This is basically an image backup of your device allowing you to jump back to safety should you do something wrong during a custom rom install.
Here is the way I look at it. If you have your phone rooted with a custom rom and it breaks and you need to return it for some reason, then ODIN will flash you back to stock and you'll have no worries about returning it to Sprint. If you some how destroy your phone to the point where not even ODIN will have access to fix it(AKA your phone goes swimming), then Sprint will not have access to the device either and will have no clue you rooted it. What some of these knuckleheads are poorly trying to get across to you, is that the phone you own, wants to be rooted.
Good luck and welcome to the community.

[4.0] Problems (ME865/MB865/AT&T)

Let me share some first :
1. I just found that the rom can't run NFS Shift smoothly, at least in the racing part but not in the menu part.
2. I can connect my home wifi with 72Mbps (it reports...) but no data transfer after few seconds.... I'm still checking if there is a fxxxxxx guy using wifikill targeted on mine phone...
My phone is ME865 using the China leaked rom.

These are perfect examples of why you should NOT run the leaked firmwares. We have been doing this for 7 months now, and I have seen 3 different firmwares released, and EVERYTIME we get leaks people want to run the latest firmware and have issues and want help because now they can't easily get back to the way their phone was before.
YOU WERE WARNED by all of the devs in here.
Let this be a lesson to EVERYONE else in the Atrix2 forum.
Now, I know these issues don't seem so bad, but there may be more things to uncover yet, that are not working correctly.
To all Atrix2 users who read this: DO NOT INSTALL THESE LEAKS!!!!
Us devs will figure out how to get the ICS updates to the correct phones with (hopefully) some fixes to the issues BEFORE they are released to the public, but you have to give us time to do so.
I will say this now:
If you PM me because you did this, or if you post asking for help because you did this, you will end up on my ignore list!
These leaks are not supposed to be run by end users, yeah you!!!

hey , don't be so angry...
To be honest , I think this leak is too far better than the 2.3.5/2.3.6 roms.
I have never got any problems of the Class 10 SD card problems now, which is the most important thing.
I seldom play games and I think that's exceptional one.

I am not angry, I also NEVER once said that YOU asked for help.
What I am doing is trying to get everyone to understand something here. Myself and the other devs that have been here for a while are getting very tired of seeing that someone had an issue, that they caused themselves because they installed an update that they were not supposed to, from cheesecake. I am trying to get everyone to listen to reason here, and your post about issues that YOU find from installing an unsupported update, was a perfect example to use.
You have to understand that us devs do this in our free time, and we give you all 100% free support. You tell me where else you get that from.
So We have to keep everyone here doing their thing with their phones, and it seems that the ONLY thing most people listen to anymore is a little kick in the pants.
If you took some offense to my post, well then you prolly deserve some of that...
My job as a dev in here, is keep everyone from screwing up their phones.
Just wait till I am not here anymore, or that I do decide to ignore your posts, or PMs...
I know EVERYONE is VERY excited about ICS, but come on guys it will be a month or less before the official stable release comes out.

You have to understand that us devs do this in our free time, and we give you all 100% free support. You tell me where else you get that from.
So We have to keep everyone here doing their thing with their phones, and it seems that the ONLY most people listen anymore is with a little kick in the pants.
If you took some offense to my post, well then you prolly deserve some of that...
My job as a dev in here, is keep everyone from screwing up their phones.
Just wait till I am not here anymore, or that I do decide to ignore your posts, or PMs...
I know EVERYONE is VERY excited about ICS, but come on guys it will be a month or less before the official stable release comes out.

It's ok. I can't agree you more. We get all of you devs free supports and all the works are great. Someone did ask for help because of the leaked roms and some others issues/threads/posts/questions you don't want to hear/see/read. I'm sorry for all of the impolite /bad feeling you feel.
Therefore, I won't talk about anything about the leaked roms in this sections from now on. If you want to , you may delete those old post which you think it may lead the problems. For the development section, if there is a mircale I found something it may help , I will translate/forward it as before.
and believe me , sticking a red color thread which prohibits something may help. It's not about the freedom of speech. Cheers.

I think you completely misunderstand me here.... I am just trying to keep others from doing something that they can not recover from (not everyone knows how to put their phone into fastboot and apply the fxz). You should post these things, and it is good that YOU put this here....
I am just trying to keep other users safe from themselves so to speak.
ICS will be here soon enough. I was just using your post with pre-release issues, as an example to others, and again the other people in this forum only seem to listen if is in DARK RED, and says WARNING WILL ROBINSON!!.
I have absolutely no hard feelings about you or anything in this place. I am just trying to keep everyone focused on what they should be focused on.

Let me share some first :
1. I just found that the rom can't run NFS Shift smoothly, at least in the racing part but not in the menu part.
2. I can connect my home wifi with 72Mbps (it reports...) but no data transfer after few seconds.... I'm still checking if there is a fxxxxxx guy using wifikill targeted on mine phone...
My phone is ME865 using the China leaked rom.

Wait a second.... you're telling me you're running the China leaked ROM on your AT&T phone?
I wouldn't mess with that mate.
Running a ROM that wasn't designed for you phone just seems like an accident/brick waiting to happen. Good luck though!

[Q] Any way to turn this into a tablet with WiFi only?

This was my wifes POS Phone till I upgraded her to a SGSIII for Christmas. Now I have a device that would be perfect for my daughter if it weren't for the pesky phone option and Sprint bloatware. Are there any roms available that strip this phone to bare bones with no radios except WiFi? Haven't been able to find any and it might not be on the top of the Dev's todo list so if anyone is up to a ROM that will make this device at least usable because as a phone it SUCKS, but for a kiddo it would be a great toy with some of the game apps. Thanks in advance, and if I missed a ROM that does exactly what I'm asking in the mountains of pages in the Dev forum, please use only a small flame as I'm old and have a cold LOL.

A tip: when asking for help you might want to avoid talking trash about a device we users enjoy using.
My advice, 'the device sucks' and is a 'pos' so why bother doing anything with it. Go buy yourself, your kid or whoever an ipod and move on.

Lol why should we help you? One of the most stupid threads here

Man, what a way to request something.

Uhh why not just turn mobile networks off n wifi on. And take the time to root your pos so u can delete the bloat.

What he said. Yeah it wouldn't be a pos if it was rooted.. It's a little beast!

Sound like a troll

Best investment I've made with android was this device.

Just hate HTC. Have since the TP2. No appologies for that when they make life just such a pain in the ass. Even cringed when the wife chose it but cest la vie. I'm not going against the boss. Maybe I'm just stupid but I've tried rooting but its a 2.3.4 and every option this thread gives me doesn't work for some reason or another. ShiftRR doesn't run at all saying ADB is at fault but I can ADB into the whole phone myself no problems, ShiftySonOfA almost works but creates a boot loop that thankfully is repaired by doing an --undo, Quickroot seems to work but then unroots the phone just as soon as it reboots. Trying to do it manually using the info on here gives me exactly the same boot loop as the ShiftySonOfA.BAT file does and trying to update from SD using a PG06img.zip I got from a rootkit fails. I can't help it if I'm a Samsung fan. Their goal in life isn't making their users stress out over their phones by daring to think they can do better than they can. If its too much to ask that my RAM isn't more than half full just with OS and bloatware because this phone refuses to root then so be it but even if its miles below my Nexus it's still MILES above any iPoo device.

Then throw it out and go buy a portable media player, or better yet send it to a dev who would put it to use and go buy some type of portable media player.
Edit: and to anyone who actually wants to try and help this guy, does this really seem like a person we need to deal with in our little speedy community in the future?

ROFL Speedy community. Half of you are talking about swapping out to Photons and the other half are moving to One X's. yes I've read an awful lot before posting a question. Guess I'll be getting absolutely no help here. Not that there is much help available for this device when all the links are broken and the ones that are working, don't work for their intended purpose. Feel free to delete the thread MOD I'll stay where I'm welcome, in the Samsung sections.

Happy to see you leave, please don't come again.
Edit: and you couldn't have read to much or you would have been able to root it. Well then again, you were calling your recovery touchwiz in another thread soooo... I'm guessing you have some trouble grasping things at times.

Well its probably been a while since you researched how to root, because if you done that more recently or even looked at my sig, you would have already rooted that shift. I posted it here and in 3 other well-known forums so its hard to believe that you haven't found it.

Samsung sections?! Have fun! I don't see how you'd be welcome there either. Also I hope you enjoy your screen burn in Galaxy Nexus - http://cdn1.sbnation.com/imported_assets/895626/4731866441_f37348315f.jpg . Ugh Buh Bye
