Flaky bugginess and all.

I chuckled.

True that! FF18 got old real fast I had to roll back to EL29. Breaks my heart that Jelly Bean has been released and we are still struggling to get a solid ICS update I did read reports thought in in android 5 google is considering an update model similar to windows and to bypass carriers and allow the pushing of updates directly to device. This should solve our fragmentation issue but who knows...

All software always has bugs, by the time we even get FF18, Samsung would have had over a month to whip up a patch.
The only thing that really bothers me is the scrolling. It's horrible.

Okay negative nancy, now you're just inviting crummy luck to come our way. lol

Who cares about Touchwiz, it's all about AOSP

We SHALL convince them to release source with our jedi mind tricks.. (That sounded way better in my head..)

Tell me what I'm thinking right now?

lmfao

Your thread title fail(s)... :good:

I'm on [UPDATE][KERNEL][ROM]tFF18 with FF18 repack with AGAT recovery 0.2.1 rom with ff18 modem and its a big improvement over other roms/modems I've tried.. Net speeds are up from around 1.5 mbs d/l to almost 3 mbs and I get 3-4 bars on the phone signal instead of 1 maybe 2.. And I'm in the mountains of Tn.

Not 100% accurate, yes T-Mobile pushed out their update sooner but they only got 4.0.3 while we are getting 4.0.4. :good:

Has sprint or Samsung Announced a fix?

The title sys it. I was curious if they had said anything in regards of a patch or fix for the Ics ota update. I went stock ota for a few days and went to sprint to see what they would say. The tech handed me the phone back and said root it.

not entirely sure what is wrong with the new OTA but I have also have problems with the new update and when I took it to sprint, the tech said the same thing "you should root it". I told them I should but it's not my fault of hardware or software issues and after some talk (I know the guys at the store), they helped me get a replacement. Hopefully the replacement doesn't have any problems too.

I haven't heard of any of the other SGSII phones having issues.. Only sprint.... Seriously, I hope they are working on fixing everything and releasing a jeallybean update.. Cuase for them to push out a buggy 2 month old FF18 as the final product is pretty sad.

The story is coming from Samsung directly. You think sprint is going quick to get jb out to us when we were the last to get ics? I'll be very surprised if they update us at all.
Sent from behind you.

a fix for what? If you don't like the ota run one of the fine, bug free ff18 based roms like blue kuban or goodness. Try cm9 or aokp you don't like those. The only reason you have a "buggy" ics build is because you choose to. That said we didn't see all of these complaints when people were running the ff18 leak, the only thing that has changed is the people running it... furthermore why are you posting on xda asking for a patch? Go to sprint users or sprint forums if that's all you're concerned with and want to complain, they'll listen to you there, I thought this was the place where we solved our own problems... not that I think there's anything wrong with ff18.... now flame away instead of spending the time to search and figure out why you're having the issues you're having when plenty of people are running ff18/ff18 based builds without difficulty or issue

I've ran all ics ROMs my phone just don't get the bandwidth with any of the modems released. I went to ota so I could see if they had an answer for why I got **** download and upload speeds. I can't go in there rocking rujs blu Kuban saying hey my phone won't get a signal anywhere here's my phone and fix it. I miss the roms but I can't get any signal I tried different kernels modems scripts and even garbage off of the app market to improve my signal. Sprint is well aware of it. I posted on xda because people seen to get answers and everything else before people find out. Im not asking a question for devs to fix it im asking the community in the xda q&a section. And it's for our phone correct? So that's why im in the xda forum asking the question.

LG8 update 3G speed increase !

The new sprint update has made my 3G a little faster ! I was getting like 0.23mbps down and 0.10 mbps up. I ran a speed test after I updated and check it out ! Almost 2mbps down woo! lol I'm used to AT&T speeds but I switched to sprint because my job gets a 23% discount for us .

If you are rooted flash a custom rom that has it built in already such as Clarks Sonic Rom. I think Freeza also has instruction on how to upgrade if you are stock.

Thank you! I searched for Freeza update to LG8 and found the thread. Much appreciated!

Same here my speeds increased after the latest Sprint update. Though I noticed I'm on ehrpd instead of evdo now, might be coincidence, not sure. Didn't know they were upgrading the towers yet here in Central Connecticut.

There was a thread floating around . You just manually update it . You get file and put on ext SD card and boot into recovery and apply update .YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE ROOTED.

[Q] roms?

Seems like the Att version already has a clean ROM, and touch recovery.
Wondering why the sprint versions a little behind

Maybe we need to step up if no one else will. I wish I knew what I was doing more... I am doing the newbie guide in my spare time.. who knows, in another ten years we might have a rom.

I've got the Canadian version, and other than bloat apps and some carrier settings are they not the same phones for the most part? I might be talking out of my ass here, but should the devs not have too much trouble porting a custom Rom from one variant to the others.
Also, it really hasn't even been two weeks since the phone hit the market and it is already unlocked. I am making the assumption that all the variants will be getting some custom Rom love pretty soon. I'm sure it takes a bit of time.

CA stands for California and I did a little research and this is what I found.
"According to an article in the business section of my newspaper, written by Dana Hull of mercurynews.com, the California Energy Commission on Thursday will consider adopting the nation's first energy-efficiency standards for battery chargers. The Commission staff says that these new regulations could (eventually) save the state as much as 2,200 GWh per year. The new regulations will cover every form of battery charger, from cell-phone chargers to industrial-sized chargers and would go into effect by January 2013. "
EDIT: Also with the 2nd LCD thing, I have no idea what that means but I googled it and found this. Seems to be people talking about enabling the 2nd LCD, like I said I have no idea. BUT I did read a few updates for other phones that enabled the 2nd LCD is getting them ready for Jelly Bean.

I checked the sources a few days ago, and zv9 does differ from zv8. I am not a kernel dev, so I'm not sure really how or how much, but I'm sure we can get someone who knows more to take a look at it.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app

I can confirm that stock v9 is unrootable meaning if you think you might want to unlock your bootloader and use custom roms its best to do so from v8. If you already upgraded to stock v9 and want to root and unlock you can use lgnpst to downgrade. This is what i did, the instructions for lgnpst are in the dev section. Theres a stock rooted v9 rom up right now so thats the way to go, plus you can get rid of bloatware.

To get the OTA System Settings -> System Updates ->Update LG Software.
I rooted ZV8 but left the bootloader locked, enabled supersu survival mode then ran the OTA. I was able to keep root.
I pulled the OTA Zip it has a boot.img and radio.img in it. The kernel and radio version appear to be the same though.

Post the boot.img from V9 please

Probably just wait for a flashable zip since i have a unlocked bootloader and rooted. It is better then flashing the zv9 stock rom and loosing all my apps messages and settings plus pictures... Don't have the time to really do a one and done backup but for now I can wait for a flashable zip
