Hello everyone,
I started a petition for LG to allow moving apps to sd card since we have paid for the mobile, not for a confined space. it will be good if LG make it officially because not everybody can root their mobile, please sign this petition and share it with others so that we can have what we paid for.....
Its not much we are asking...IS IT?
here is the link

Odp: Petition for LG to allow moving app to sd (please sign this)
I think it's impossible, because it's a "feature" of ics that we can't move apps to sd. Only phones which had older system can it. Every new phone with android don't have app2sd. But I will sign the petition.

I'm pretty sure most phones with an OS after froyo has Apps 2 SD. That is why you see any app that doesn't include it seems to get a lot of flack on the app store.
ics has the feature of moving app 2 sd

its not impossible because, every single phone with ics supports this feature for instance take galaxy s2, it has got 16 gb of internal memory but still supports moving app 2 sd
its a locked feature by LG or they just was in hurry.
i really hate when my phone supports hd games like nfs, gta etc but i cant play them just because of low memory.
and please share it on your facebook etc and make it happen. thanks.
I use RemountSD. For me works perfectly, as does the external memory, an internal.

But it will need root! isnt it?
Actually everyone cant root their mobile because of some unrootable firmwares and downgrading method is so boring and not everyone can perform it. so this is the thing...have you signed the petition?
so many views but only a few signs...OMG....Do it ....Do it....:highfive:
The only reason I want to root this phone is its limit internal storage. And I found from information on the web that it's because most ICS phone mount internal memory to /mnt/sdcard. It prevent user to move app data to external sdcard that is usually mount to that path in early Android OS. So if you not root your phone you only have around 2GB available to use.
I hope that Google or LG come with a way to solve this issue in their next software update.
Because for now my model P768f cannot be rooted, I signed this petition.
I dont think LG will ever listen to this petition. Android phones run faster and flawlessly with internal memory as its working memory. External Memory Cards which sometimes could be too slow and buggy due to too many files, cannot be compared with RAM in any sense. The more files you store in MMC, the slower will be access time and function. With a single file change, the phone starts to rescan media files and that is time consuming. If you need phone badly for any work and if it freezes due to slow MMC you will curse yourself.
People buy phones as per their budgets and requirements. Buying first and complaining later for any missing feature is not the thing what a company will care about.
What we need the PETITION is, to be sent to LG, for JB and Unlocked bootloaders, all for JB and ICS for all phones and all L9 Variants. Everyone knows LG very well for their worst in customer support, locked bootloaders and too late updates (sometimes a year and more. like o2x).
I still wish you best of luck. Because we are from L9 community and should respect each others initiatives, I SIGNED your petition. I hope you signed the petition for unlocked bootloader and JB from LG already.

yes bro i signed the petition for the jellybean and the bootloader unlocking even i made my 14 friends sign that...you may be right regarding this matter. but there is no harm in trying...
i understand that we should not complain when we once purchased a product but locked bootloader is also something like that and LG didnt even mention of upgrading l9 to jelly bean so we all should not hope for anything.
moving apps to sd will save a lot of space and we will be able to play games.....if thats the case you told us about, how come sony, samsung etc have this feature even after having 16 gigs of storage. and i never seen s2 slowing down.
sure unlocked bootloader can be a big help...so that we can enjoy MIUI, AOKP and CM10 etc...instead of buggy LG custom software
Using the external memory to install apps and their data isn't an ics limitation, I have a tablet from Huawei running ics and Huawei made that option of using the external as internal available, the same thing with my Equiso smart TV running ics this device has a partition where you can install apps without using a micro sd card . It's LG's choice like many phone markers and the reason is what cmahendra said. This petition isn't right. It's like asking LG to change the skin they are using on Android.
Let's focus on jb and the bootloader.

LG have already released sources for most L9 varaints, also some roms already have unlocked bootloader. So my MAIN WORRY is that, WE DONT HAVE GOOD DEVS LIKE O2X who can actually work from source codes and make custom kernels and Roms from available resources

"Patience is the key to success" and no once can teach this to the people who owned Optimus 2X. We waited for long time for O2x to crack, will wait for some more time till L9 is cracked too.

Sup, I was thinking of buying this phone cuz I have a budget of 100$ to 200$....So I was wondering is this phone LG optimus P500 worth the buy.....I mean doesn't it have any problems or sumthing and howz the support from the company for this phone....
This phone is Ferrari for the poor, go buy it it doesn't have adobe flash and camera flash.

Unfortunately there's no such thing as perfect fone. All of them have bugs, faults and other annoying stuff, so you'll just have to go with a model that you actually need.
O1 is a good phone and doesn't have any major problems.
What I mean is that whether the phone gets spoiled quickly, And I know it's has no camera flash but no adobe flash .....Anyway that's for all help!!!
The lifetime of phone will be pretty good same like the z71 varients.

It´s really a great Android Phone in the mid-class. And with croms you can get a really good phone placed even in the segment of Desire in performance. However, it doesn´t have adobe and camera flash.
I think Qualcomm and Adobe have announced that Flash will be optimized for the MSM7x27, the processor included in our Optimus One, so maybe it will have Flash soon
Yep, it is a great budged phone with pro features.... also there are workarounds for adobe and camera flash....
1) for adobe flash: adobe said that it is working in a optimized version of flash for msm7227 chip (armv6 cpu) that our phone has.. but if you want flash desperately right now you have two browser that can handle it: Skyfire and Puffin (it uses cloud computing to view flash websites)
2) The camera flash: there are plenty pocket flash lights and if you search well you can find a flash light that has better leds than many phones, also there is a accesory that is called Universal camera Phlash
It doesn't have camera flash, but you can easily take pictures for cheating on exams . And someone else said it very well, there are good if not great developers , who have this kind of phone.
Thanks every one for the great advice and one last question....since i like to experiment my phones with a lot of apps and roms.....does this phone have many roms for me to try out with....and don't worry about that thanks

What about the dust getting under the screen problem? Has it been fixed by LG?
Do they just clean it and give you every time or is there any permanent fix for the problem?
you are asking owners of p500 so we will say it's worth And I agree with them
About the dust - cleaning is for free if you have warranty (definetly in EU), but i haven't heard if LG did anything with this issue in newest series
(sorry for my english)
So you mean to say that the problem still exists in the latest phones too?
Also you said that they will clean it. I want to know whether that problem gets fixed after visiting the service center once or should it be taken to the service center time and again to clean it?

Someone said they put somekind of cover underneath the screen at the service center, so the dust doesn't build up anymore. But I don't know for sure. It was posted in the thread about the dust.

The Japanese version doesn't have NFC, only Japan's long-established equivalent.
Anyway, I love the phone, but I can't wait until some of the geniuses on here come up with an easy way to root it.

Negative. Just tried to scan my edy but no joy. My nexus S grabs it fine however. Cannot wait to dump this stupid docomo rom and get a vanilla one on. That or just go back to my Nexus S.
またSC-06DはNFCを搭載していないので、「Android Beam」を拡張したデータ転送機能「S Beam」も利用できない. Yep, no NFC.
SamMobile has a rom out for SC-06D. As soon as the DL finishes gonna give it a go since I tried the I9300 and it just black screens.
i seen that but i was pretty sure that was just the stock rom...which is really helpful if a bad rom is loaded and need to go back to stock...ive downloaded it too and keeping it to the side for emergencies....
The ability to root and throw CyanogenMod 9 on docomo's Galaxy S3 are the two most important factors in whether or not I will buy it in the next couple of months. Can you please keep us updated on your progress, wtfusernameistaken?
Hi all
Just registered to join in on this thread.

My honest opinion is that the phone sucks. No NFC, annoying uninstallable apps, battery gets quite warm, camera is meh, Kies is basically iTunes with a different layout. I went back to my nexus S and passed the S3 off to the wife. Tried to get a galaxy nexus but it would seem that it did so bad in Japan that they liquidated their entire stock 3 months ago. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next dev phone.
The rom on sammobile is in fact the stock rom, but good to have in case.
Your first sentence had me dying. Lol I guess that sums it up, though. I guess I'll start preparing to buy a One X, though I think I'm going to attempt to get the AT&T version and have it unlocked, as it seems that model is more liked than the international version. I don't even play Words with Friends, so Tegra 3, Schmegra 3 for all I care.
In my opinion this is a beast of a phone...nfc not there..it maybe just no unlocked..the screen is great..the 2gb is a major factor...the fact it'll be one if few phones to receive the jelly bean update..even the little tv tuner which I'm sure the statewide doesn't have..the massive support for it...the camera is great, even though some might choose a third party app...people are judging the phone after a few days of use...the real beauty and love affair comes after extended use...having all this potential and being a root and or custom Rom away from unleashing it is mouth watering...already my s3 out performs my s2 in every way...and it can only get better...every day I find or notice something about this phone that makes it more and more awesome...give it a chance and don't be so basis guys...

If you lack Japanese skills I would be hesitant to root. Some of the warnings that come up will not be in english. Not to mention that all the development on the root was done by Japanese and the "documentation" will be as well.
This is my first Android device (and my first post )
I found the amount of Samsung and Docomo apps really ridiculous.
I want to get CM9 onto the device, so I can have a completely clean slate with no remnants of all the shovelware. As I'm new, I don't know how yet, but I've found several guides and videos and such for doing it for other devices, even the other versions of the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately I haven't found too much specifically for the Docomo Japan version, so I'm a little hesitant to try anything just yet. Is there anything that makes the Docomo device different from other Galaxy S3's, anything I should look out for?
One thing to note for anyone else who bought it here in Japan at Docomo, by default they automatically sign you up for a ton of their crap, iChannel, BodyMo, etc., and each one costs monthly. They're very easy to forget about. If you go digging through the "my docomo" site, through the customer support stuff, eventually you'll find the options to cancel each of the stuff they signed you up for. They really do make it hard to get to.
Hello,
I have a Note 2 and my girlfriend has S3. Regarding to the problems which have been coming for the past a few days I started to be really really afraid. We Have just bought the S3 and the Note 2 is roughly 1.5 month old. So I don't want to sell them as they will cost only half price of what we paid. We also really love the phones, everything is super as long as they keep running.
However the more I read about all these Sudden Death and SDcard issues I started to wonder if our datas are safe? I mean not trusting Samsung for the build quality is another thing, looking at your phone like it has cancer and is going to die any time is a whole different story. This is even hunting me on my dreams for the past few days. I mostly play games and make drawings and back them up daily but my girlfriend is using her S3 for job purposes too and has valuable data on her phone. In the beginning I was planning to buy an Sdcard to expand and secure the phones memory so we could have just gotten the card if the phone was broke but then I found out SDcard problem threads. After a while I am sure anybody would be giving the reaction "Come on Samsung, another build defect.. Make the phones from paper already!!"
But still, we do not want to sell our phones by losing money and to be honest we do not think we can find any other phone with these specs. Maybe Nexus 4 but no exp. memory and no FM radio is a no go for us. Sony Yuga in the future maybe but "when" is still a question at this moment. Like I said it is hunting me in my dreams because she asked for Sony Xperia ion and I bought her S3 and she loves it but I would have felt totally responsible if anything happened to her phone and she lost her data.
So, I just wanted to know what do you guys are using your phones for and are you feeling your data is safe enough in your internal or external cards. Do you trust your phone?

I trust my s3 and love s3. 1st u store your contac on google account , and u save ur all data in ex.sd card and every week u just copy/peast ex/sd card on ur pc. so even ur ex card is break after that u not lose ur data any way and u use ur data also other dives. sorry 4 my English.
I myself use my S3 for everything. Work and play. With the SD and security issues, I really don't know now how I should really feel about my smartphone. I don't really change phones so often. Simply because I don't have that much dough to shell out just to keep up with technology.
Warranty still is existing for another 7-8 mos, but that doesn't make me feel at ease. Samsung staff here in the Philippines aren't all that knowledgeable and courteous to talk to. I've had my fair share of experience with them.
People like me think and research hard to make the "best buy" out there, only to be bugged by a thought that anytime, your hard earned money might go waste. With or without warranty issues, we don't buy a flagship phone that randomly acts as if it wasn't made by one of the biggest, trusted phone manufacturers out here.

Hey guys I'm about to buy a new LG Optimus L9 P760 phone in the next few days and I need some feedback opinions about it. I'm asking especially those who owned it or owns it. Basically the phone has only 4GB internal memory but you can add a microSD card. From what I've heard you cannot move applications on the SD Card which means your phone will be able to handle only about 2.30 GB of its 4 GB capacity. So that's a worry for me because I cannot install the things I want within only 2.3 GB. So my #1 question is if there's any possibility to move the applications in SD Card without rooting, because that's the only way you can move them.
#2 question: Can a LG Optimus L9 P760 run the newest games, like Asphalt 7, NFS MW, PES 2013 or FIFA 2013 without lag?
#3 question: Is the 5MP camera good enough to take clear pictures? Because I'm about to use it for taking some pictures here and there. I had a Xperia X10 mini phone and its camera was good enough for me, I liked the pictures made by them.
Thanks.
Hi?
You can move apps to SD after rooting.
You can probably run all those games after rooting and overclocking.
The camera is descent. Other phones take better pictures.

Hey,
I'm about to buy LG Optimus L9 tomorrow but I need some question answered.
1. Can you move apps to SD card without rooting? Like updating to a newer Android OS?
2. If I root, does it affect my cellphone warranty?
3. If I try to root, is there any chance of destroying my phone's software and make it useless?
1. Can you move apps to SD card without rooting? Like updating to a newer Android OS?
I believe you can do this with the latest firmware update(Jelly Bean).
2. If I root, does it affect my cellphone warranty?
Nope.
3. If I try to root, is there any chance of destroying my phone's software and make it useless?
Nope. We can only soft-brick the device. No way to hard-brick it.
Hey,
Thanks for the time you've spent answering my questions. I have one more question: what's soft-brick and what's hard-brick and what's the difference between them?
I'm looking forward into buying the phone tomorrow, it looks like a good piece of business given the price proportional to the specs the phone has.
How do you rate on a 1 up to 10 scale rate your LG Optimus L9 performance?
// Apparently the rooting will invalidate the warranty of the phone.

You are welcome.
Soft-brick is recoverable by us.
Hard-brick is only recoverable by LG.
I rate this device as a 6. That is only because I am picky and the P769 model has so many software issues right now. But with CM 10.1 it is a little better. Battery life is what I like the most.
If you un-root the device before sending in for any kind of service the warranty will be honored.
If you send it in rooted LG will decide if they want to honor the warranty.
Well I'm yet not decided what to buy, I've got to choose between LG L9 and Xperia Arc S.
Oh and by the way, in what case you risk to hardbrick the phone?

I used both phones and between them much better is LG for me. In arc s just camera is better. Performance is bad and with only few apps and no games I felt that my phone is slow. Next thing arc s doesn`t have official jelly bean update and to unlocking bootloader may be not possible (deppends when phone was produced). Imo lg is much better choice.
well hardbricking lg p760 is impoosible. in theory you can hardbrick your phone when you unlock bootloader and try to install custom ROM, but in lg p760 case you can only softbrick your phone as people here say so no worries here.

Haha, worries solved, thanks for enlightening me. I'm going to buy my LG Optimus L9 P760 tomorrow. Is a root totally necessary?

I'm not sure about moving apps to sd without root, but in android development thread there people write guides how to make it work so problems can happen so root may be necessary. remember that unlocking bootloader you lose warranty not rooting (but still you can try send your device to lg in case something will be wrong with your device after unlocking bootloader. Sometimes they don"t care about it).

So there's any chance to root my device so I can unroot it if something happens and LG honour their warranty?

As far as I know rooting with locked bootloader don't influence warranty in any way. Just root lg using method for locked bootloader but even if i'm wrong unrooting is quiet easy and lg will honour warranty for sure.

Just brought my LG P760 home, I am really satisfied with its design, I'm a bit cautious about using it, haha. So for the first time do I have to format the battery, like use it until the phone turns off itself then charge it for like 8 hours?

Nope. That is a myth started by people that do not understand lithium-ion batteries. Enjoy your new phone.
Hey guys, is there any way to make the phone play music louder? I believe the standard power is not enough for me.

After you will get root access which will allow you to install custom audio modifiers which will blow you ears. You may get twice as loud sound if you set it properly. Also amazing sounds effects as dynamic bass. Many settings for various headphones, earphones. It's called viper4android. I'm on my phone right now so I'm lazy and I won't search for it. I may give you link tomorrow if you will decide to root also I prefer to get Cwm also for backup. Dunno how to get cwm with locked bootloader but if you will unlock bt im open for help.

Haha, I'm totally a newbie in rooting thing, so I may need to spend some time researching a few things here and there.
Hey guys it's me again,
I'm writing this on my phone as I bought it for a few weeks already and I like the phone.
Now I have a few questions I've encountered during usage of this phone:
#1 - I usually play a game on the phone and use the Internet so it barely stays on stand-by. Basically the battery life goes between 6 to 13 hours. Is it right to stay this time?
#2 - So when I was charging the phone, turned off as the battery was empty, it usually showed me the battery icon and a yellow triangle with a rounded arrow rotating. Until today when in the same situation, it was only the battery icon without triangle. What does it mean?
#3 - Sometimes when I press the lock screen button it takes a caption of the screen and I have to press the menu button while I'm on the main screen to make it lock again. Why is that happening?
Hello !
I just ordered the 16gb version (no 3g) for about $320 (a lot more expensive here usually). It's one which apparantly was sent back and got a general maintenance. Got it from the German Sony outlet online store. Obviously the first thing Ill do will be checking for errors and sending it back if its not alright.
I will be travelling to asia for about a year as of august and thought it was pretty fitting so I just ordered before they're all gone...
Now I'm wondering a few things!
Will I be able to connect via 3g with an internet dongle like the huawei E137 ?
Can I connect my 2.5" external hdd without additional power? I read almost everywhere that it doesn't work on all the tablets, but I also think I read that the sony usb port is more powerful and can stream over hdmi without additional power. I know that ill need an OTG usb host cable. It's a Samsung s1 mini with 120gb.
The bigger question is however which updates I should install. I read a few threads on here (very confusing with all the sony tablets being in one place...) and couldn't really come to a conclusion.
I don't really play games, except Id maybe like to play some N64 stuff on an emulator. I mainly want to use it to browse the internet, do hostel bookings etc. and watch movies.
Im sorry if these have been asked before, I couldnt find an answer :/
No you can't connect to 3g. Not sure about HDD.
Note: should have got a xperia tablet z

Second that. Probably better value down the road seeing as support for this will be abandoned soon probably... if not already.
It's not possible to connect to the internet via surf stick?
I've seen videos on youtube where people do it with other android tablets. Is that a xts specific problem?
the xperia tablet z is exactly twice the price :/

The tablet does not have the drivers to run the dongle. The STS has this issue too. Since the XTZ is made by the Sony Mobile team, and not the Sony Vaio team, it most likely will support dongles... IMO it would be worth paying extra for the XTZ because of the much higher standards the mobile team has, its unlockable bootloader, high res screen, etc.
Hmm alright, too bad...
Could it be possible someday? With it being able to root now?
I really don't wanna spend another 250€, I can live a month in India with that money :/
I had a look a the tablet in an electronics market here and I think the display is more than enough for me.
Guess I'll have to live with tethering then.
I'll see if a 3G dongle works with the Xperia Tablet Z.

Instead of a dongle, use a wireless mobile hotspot device. Most are small enough to fit in your pocket, better than having a dongle hanging off your tablet, and there is no hassle with loading device drivers. I don't know what is available in India or Asia, but I'm in the USA and I use a Sierra Wireless Overdrive Pro™ 3G/4G Mobile Hotspot through Virgin Mobile.
XTS root, then you can also use a 3G dongle Since there's a free app in the Market "UMTS MANAGER" Try yourself and also works on 4.1.1 with root.
Unfortunately, USB hard drives consume a lot of electricity - are alternative USB sticks it should be paid to the format ... NTFS is otherwise only with root with the help of the free app "Paragon NTFS & HFS" so you can then mount ...
That sounds like some good news!
I'm still not quite sure whether I should send it back or keep it (hasn't arrived yet but is in transit...would the galaxy tab 10.1" be a better choice? its about the same price here).
Is rooting it risky? Is there any danger to it? Will it be possible with every device or could there be regional differences (mine will be german I guess)?
If I'll be able to root it, that means I can use all the apps there are basically? What about alternate ROMs, will that be possible?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm kind of new to the whole topic, though I did root a smartphone I had
Come to think about it, I could use that as a mobile hotspot maybe... Though I'd have the same problems with being dependent on a second battery :/
I think if I'll be able to root it and it'd be able to use all those customized apps that make software things possible that sony tries to forbid or hasnt enabled at least the XTS would be a good choice for me since it's so cheap.

Rooting isn't risky - it's what you do with the root which is.
When you root a phone, you place a su binary file in the /system partition.
If your a new to this, you WILL brick your device. Don't mess with system files before asking here first :fingers-crossed:

If you read here first before firing off crazy commands its prob safe to root, having said that after you do the risk of bricking is high bcuz no custom recovery and boot loader is locked so you cannot just flash a Rom to fix it. If you are not in love with Sony for whatever reason, and depending on what you plan to do with the tablet, I would either save $100 and get a nexus 7 or spend extra $100 and get nexus 10.

aaaalright you guys. thanks everyone!
sending it back...too bad tho, just got it yesterday and it looks pretty cool. thats not the most important thing for me though.
im leaving in 2 month for my trip, so ill wait another month and see if anything happens on the market. maybe ill get a nexus 10. I had a look at the 7 but its too small (htc one x is pretty big already).

Thank you for helping us say NO to sony by voting with your wallet, hope you find something that meets your needs.

If the Z has the same type of support as Sony's previous 2 forays into the tablet market, don't bother buying it!
