Hello my friends, it has been awhile since I've posted. That is because my phone is being a smeg head. It says I was here last on the 17th but that was just to download the vmplayer real quick and try that to see if it would work...it didn't...let me explain. Probably about 5 days or so before that one afternoon I was lying around in Tapatalk and I noticed some updates going on but didn't pay them much mind. One was the Holo launcher. I have never used that, as I use the TSF launcheer. Anyway, when I closed out of Tapatalk what the heck, I didn't have a launcher at all!! I couldn't go anywhere or do anything!! So, ok I thought, I will just run a nanroid...HA!! It didn't let me do that...I don't remember exactly what it said, I should have written it down, something about the path from E not being a good path or something like that. The more I try to remember the worse it is (i hate brain cancer) Then my laptop was/is dead due to the power supply ac connector being burned in the fire and the bf finally brought his hunk of junk over. Well he brought it over for about an hour on the 17th and then again and left it tonight. I'm telling you I have become so discouraged because I don't know if the problem is my phone, 2 different bad sd cards, this crappy computer or if I'm just simply overlooking something so basic because I can't think right anymore. So back to my story. So, I couldn't run the nanroid backup. At this time I start thinking about all the music and pictures I have and start to panic. I go ahead and copy the files over even though I'm pretty sure I have them on my computer I can't remember for certain. Then I decide to just do a factory reset. I hadn't downloaded any drivers or the LG update on the bf's computer at this stage. I should have, I should have just ran the updater from the beginning. However, I did not. I chose to just go into the settings and do a factory reset. Now, actually I have done that before, wiped my card, partitioned it then run the updater, so I didn't really do anything different. I didn't wipe my card though. So I did the factory reset and I'll be danged if when I went to put in my info, now I didn't have a keyboard either!! I couldn't get one without putting in my info!! I was stuck. Even though my sd card wasn't even 2 months old I thought maybe there was a problem with it. Why was apps just disappearing off it? System apps too...I had made the TSF launcher a system app and my keyboard a system app and i moved the normal system keyboard to a user app. I left the Holo launcher in my system. I put the gingerbread keyboard in my system also, so there should have been 2 keyboards in my system apps. Ok, so no keyboard, no launcher. It was time to run the updater. I downloaded the drivers and the updater tool first...but it was like I just hooked my usb cable up to the cat or something. It in no way detected my phone was attached. Hmmm, so that's when I decided to check my sd card. I downloaded the mini wizard partition tool that I use because it has an option on it that scans your sd card.....and I kept getting that error message when trying to do my nanroid restore. (i was saying earlier backup, I meant restore) well it said I had a "bad disk". I thought ok, that explains everything. Why I had the problem in the first place. However, I bought another sd card and the updater still didn't recognize my phone...that's when I even tried the vmplayer. Then I'll be danged if that partition tool didn't say that sd card was bad too...I thought no stinking way. I told the bf that it had to be this hunk of junk and he got all butt hurt. I just now put that card in his phone (my old admire) and snapped some pics of my cats and they saved to the card fine and i move some apps over to the card and the back to the phone with no problems so that card isn't mucked up. I don't know why I can't get this to recognize my phone. Now it could very well be something so plain looking right at me, but I've been having a rather hard time of things lately...chemo is kicking my rear end hard and it gives me big time chemo brain fog. Or, my phone was in my room during the fire and maybe there was some kind of damage that just didn't show up at first....or maybe this computer is just all the names I've called it. Either tomorrow oh, I guess today, this afternoon or Monday, depending on when direct deposit hits, if no one here has any good ideas, then I'm going to buy a new phone. I don't know, probably the Motion. This phone is still under warranty. Oh I forgot to mention, after I took my files off and I checked the sd card and it said it was a bad disk, it wipes it and now when I turn the phone on it just does the LG screen and that's it, it goes no further...but it wasn't, because there is no launcher, but at first it still had the boot animation, but not now because of nothing on the sd card. Oh, I think I'm going to at least buy a power supply for my computer and I have all the files and everything I know I need for my phone on my computer. If I can't get it going from that, then I'm going to go buy another phone, send this one in and then I guess sell the one the send me back. I don't know I have a daughter that might want it. I'm not sure, she's an apple lover...grranna
I am back in action!! HA! Well, I'm not sure why I had such a problem in the first place but I did manage to get a power supply to my computer tonight...well I didn't notice the time just now, I should say last night...a computer I take care of and keep up to date. There was nothing wrong with my orginal sd card, now the second brand new sd card that he bought at metro a Kingston brand is a piece of junk, it doesn't work at all, but mine does and with my computer I had no problems running the updater. I just rerooted and now I'm re installing my apps. I'm rather glad I was able to fix my phone. Yes a newer faster with a longer battery life might seem nice but I happen to like my phone just fine 
he's actually working on an update for #2 and I'm sure its gonna be awesome.
