Honeycomb (3.0) is only availble for tablets, we will never see it on a phone, the next version we will see for phones will be ice cream sandwich (android 4.0) which will be available on tablets and phones.
 
when i finish an update,and instalation wizard said that "instalation is succesfully finished and that my phone will reboot",nothing happend. my phone stood still in Fastboot mode. i wipe out DALVIK-CACHE. please help. With clean install is same thing.all drivers are instaled.

If 3.0 is working on phones, it would need huge optimisation and it would not be great, when it was optimised.
 
I dont know if anybody else has this problem but after i updated, my phone doesnt vibrate anymore when i receive texts. Does anyone know how to fix this?

dudeman? or anyone pls i cant follow this instruction pls help me..ty


*** If your phone has the Android version 1.6 or 2.1 or 2.2 and want to have the new version 2.3.5 Gingerbread Android (v2 SwiftDroid CyanogenMod 7.1 M6) You can't use the update method in the intaller. you'll have to install complete installation starting installing fastboot rom on the phone, and then install 2.3.5 Android, for it starts from step 1 of this tutorial.

===Some users have told me they do not find the market in the app drawner. if you have the same problem, then go to this address in Root Explorer /system/app/ and looking for an app that says "vending ", just open it and install it, after reboot phone and the market will be on app drawner
 
I have successfully updated my phone from 1.6 (stoke) to Android 2.3.7
This is the best Article I found online, easy to go :)

Thanks :)
 
i tried by goin by the update method.. mine is updated to android 2.3.3 CyanogenMod 7. when i click on update it jus pops up a cmd prompt window, quickly shuts it down and says the phone is updated and it would restart, which does not happen. and when i restart it still showin 2.3.3. am i doin anythin wrong. as far as i have read, ppl with 2.3.5 are successful in doin it. so am i requireed to upgrade my phone first to 2.3.5 and then go for 2.3.7?
 
I wish the install instructions had been clearer for update :( i started downloading the file labeled Update, since I wanted to update, and that was apparently wrong, so now I have to wait a never downcounting 1200 seconds to download the file :(
 
After installing the 2.3.7 update, from 2.3.4, my phone seems to be stuck in airplane mode :s tried rebooting, but airplane mode just sticks on. The "mobile network" option at the bottom of that screen is also inaccessible :|
Any advice on that problem?
 
K, I managed to get it out of that cycle. But now I can't add any APNs, when I click "Save" nothing happens and it goes back to the list of APNs which is of course empty..... Dunno why these were deleted. Also unable to find any networks when I click Search for networks.
 
Guys...i've got big problem the part when instaling thr KDZ on phone...and it was going pretty well and stoped loading...i wasn't shore that it finished bebouse the phone didnt rebot...so i clicked one more button "launch softwarwe update" and it said it cant find phone...phone was on download mode... I pluged out phone from PC and try to power on phone but it stuck on lg logo...and won't go any furthure...heeeelp...pleasee :confused:
 
You need to put the phone in emergency mode, then put kdz in emergency mode also and you'll be able to redo the update. This happened to me as well and freaked me out for about an hour until I finally found a solution. LOL To put in emergency mode (not download mode but they look the same!) you have to first pull the battery. Next hold the volume down and power buttons and plug in your USB cable without the battery installed. It should then turn on and be in emergency mode.
