    OBD2 reader for your car - cool!

    FWIW, my vehicle tossed the Check Engine Light (CEL) earlier this week. :( So I went to Amazon and found a Bluetooth On Board Diagnostics II (OBD2) reader. They are pretty inexpensive. This is the one I purchased to use with my LG G2...

    Help Verizon LG G2 Service Menu

    LG G2 Service Menu - LG Cell Phones Blog This doesn't work for the LG G2 on Verizon. I have found another post where using the dialer and: ##PROGRAM980 send then 000000 for the service code did get me into a special menu, but not the one I was looking for. Evidently, people on other carriers...

    Help In-Call Volume using a HandsFree BT Receiver in a Car

    Does anyone know of anyway to adjust just the in-call volume and boost it when using BT? I am now using a car other than my '02 Accord with Sony BT3900U car radio... The Sony did an excellent job of connecting via BT, coordinating audio when streaming music from Pandora or TuneIn, getting...

    For those of you wanting to experiment with BT audio, but maybe you don't have a BT Car Stereo, or maybe you don't have a portable BT Speaker... I have had good luck with this device when used with my LG phones, but also my HP Touchpads (running CM), in addition to an Apple iPad: Bluetooth A2DP...

    Help What Build to Load?

    On one of my Touchpads, I installed the August 8, 2013 build of CM10.1, the one with the working BT for the keyboard. Did the BT keyboard just not work with previous versions? On a TP I just revived, I installed CM10 12/16/2012. In some ways, I like it better than the 8/8/2013 build. I think...

    Help Had to Go to the Doctor

    The thread on Tweaks and fixes is closed. Thought I would post a summary here relevant to resurrecting a TP that wouldn't boot as someone else may be late to the party. The TPs are excellent devices. Purchased a TP 16GB w/WiFi only model that was stuck on the white triangle www.palm.com/ROM...

    Looking for a GenieWidget (Lite News Reader)

    One of the only things I miss about my LG Spectrum is that I could side-load GenieWidget and use that as my news reader. It was a really lite reader, and didn't force me to create accounts. I still use it on my HP Thinkpad running CyanogenMod 10.x. Question: does anyone familiar with...

    Screen Issue: Flicker / Illumination Level Changes

    Cannot find the post I read on this, as it was occurring to someone else. Had my unit since just before Thanksgiving. Love it, except the screen will from time to time start flickering, changing illumination level by 5-10 percent or so. Did not do this out of the box. Noticing it more and more...

    G2 and Skype? Alternates?

    OK G2 owners... Anyone using Skype on this platform? My previous experience with Skype on my LG Spectrum and also on an HP Touchpad running Cyanogenmod 10.2 have been pretty bad. Device lockups, sound going out or very low-levels or video freeze... even on a very good internet connection of...

    Spectrum on VZW, Compatible with Sprint?

    When my upgrade date comes up (end of Nov), I may give my phone to my son, who has a very inexpensive plan with Virgin Mobile on the Sprint Network. For 2G and 3G, I think the phone he currently has (Moto Triumph) uses the same frequencies as the VS920. Of course, the VS920 also has LTE...

    Help HP Touchpad Fully Charged Won't Turn On

    This one was a newly experienced behavior. I keep my TP charging on a wireless dock. The thing is excellent. No physical cycles to the USB port for charging!!! If you have an HPTP but you don't have a wireless charging dock, consider one. Anyway, so I pull the TP off the dock, and go to wake...

    Help Sync Google Calendar Between Phone and Touchpad

    :hahaha:Might someone help me determine what I need to do to get my Phone's calendar (LG Spectrum running ICS) sync'ed with my HP Touchpad's Calendar (running CM10)? I do not know what feature I might have disabled or set incorrectly... This is probably some stupidly easy thing to do, yet...

    Help Manipulating CM10 Settings

    OK, I have CM10 loaded on my Touchpad. I have a Properties editor loaded. Does anyone know where the setting for shutdown due to low battery resides, or is that a custom feature placed in the CM10 build to save our TPs from the "Sleep of Death"?

    Root Now that I'm Rooted, What Can I do?

    OK, I've rooted my stock ICS for the Spectrum. Downloaded Android Tuner. Lots of good stuff. I've been playing mainly with CPU Mgr and the Gov settings for CPU1 and 2. I'd love to know if someone has some good reading that might accompany this tool and the many settings that I could...

    Until Desert is Served, This Program might satisfy

    Fast Burst Camera: OK, I downloaded this from the Market yesterday, and I think it's pretty cool. You might want to check it out. There is a free version called Fast Burst Camera Lite. There is another version that costs 3.99 and adds some features like being able to turn off the shutter...

    JuiceDefender - LGS is a Battery "Sipper" now

    This is for others that might wonder if expecting more battery life from their LG Spectrum is a possibility. I downloaded JuiceDefender - Battery (the free version) from the Market, and enabled it and kept the default settings. This phone seems to be a battery "sipper" now. Battery run-time on...

    Root CPU Governing Mode

    I used the advice I read elsewhere here, and on my other Android phone, changed from OnDemand to Conservative. It seemed to improve my battery run-time. I used CPU Master Free, but I think even if I select "Set On Boot" it isn't persistent. I'll have to experiment. What are other people using...

    LG Spectrum on Verizon - Solid?

    I'm considering a contract phone with Verizon. No interest really in rooting it. Just want to make sure calling / reception on 4G and 3G/2G where necessary is solid. I understand from what I have read people love or hate the SW layer ontop of Gingerbread. If I get this phone was planning on...

    Root CM7, Nightly 177. Can I apply Dalingrin's Overclock Now?

    Running 177. I have noticed that when viewing web-based video that running CPU Master and setting the NC to 1200MHz and On Demand really makes the video smoother. When I originally rooted, I installed Clockwork Mod Recovery and Nightly 177, but did not install Dalingrin's Overclock Kernel...

    Root Nook Wont Play Certain YouTube Videos

    OK, I'm running a fairly recent nightly. Things going pretty well, except I can't play certain YouTube videos. One for example is Honey Badger. I didn't choose it - a friend of mine did after I rooted his NC. Then I go to see if the same behavior exists on my NC, and sure enough, it won't...
