new set of SIMS in WW all over India, someone try these and report. These sims have been reported to work on Samsung series phone like note 2 s3 with 4.3 and above versions of Android by our dear friend dr faramroze. according to another source these sims are exactly the same as Moded sims we talk about.

New G3 with better specs out before we could get one that's already available. http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-g3-cat-6-july-25-408262/

MI3

Stock as per my knowledge, 90% After KK, but I confirmed with a friend who never updated to KK, but his LCD had gone bad too. I STILL SUGGEST ALL TO STAY AWAY FROM G2. I'm 100% Sure it's a manufacturing defect, and LG is not acknowledging it.

LithiumCard Rechargeable Hyper Charger This item I bought for 55$ including shipping through Indiegogo crowd funding website. SPECS https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lithiumcard-the-hypercharger#description

Moto Stream Wireless Music Adapter by Motorola. Bought on the day it released by a friend for me. Cost 49$+16$(Shipping by friend) Specs http://www.motorola.com/us/accessories-headphones-speakers/Moto-Stream/moto-stream.html

Stay away from G2, it's got a major issue with LCD. Just through friend I have heard some 15 to 20 going bad LCD in just a day after selling. My G2 bought from Parin BNIB has gone bad, my wife's G2 a friend gifted me is used but works perfect and not sure how long the LCD will hold on.

Can downgrade anyway any combination. All work using the flash tool. The oriax tool works on KK for SPC.

Self-propagating SMS worm Selfmite targets Android devices A rare Android worm that propagates itself to other users via links in text messages has been discovered by security researchers. Once installed on a device, the malware, which was dubbed Selfmite, sends a text messages to 20 contacts from the device owner's address book. Most malware programs for Android are Trojan apps with no self-propagation mechanisms that get distributed from non-official app stores. Android SMS worms are rare, but Selfmite is the second such threat discovered in the past two months, suggesting that their number might grow in the future. The text message sent by Selfmite contains the contact's name and reads: "Dear [NAME], Look the Self-time," followed by a goo.gl shortened URL. The rogue link points to an APK (Android application package) file called TheSelfTimerV1.apk that's hosted on a remote server, researchers from security firm AdaptiveMobile said in a blog post. If the user agrees to install the APK, an app with the name "The self-timer" will appear in the app list. In addition to spreading itself to other users, the Selfmite worm tries to convince users to download and install a file called mobogenie_122141003.apk through the local browser. Mobogenie is a legitimate application that allows users to synchronize their Android devices with their PCs and download apps from an alternative app store. The Mobogenie Market app was downloaded over 50 million times from Google Play, but is also promoted through various paid referral schemes, creating an incentive for attackers to distribute it fraudulently. "We believe that an unknown registered advertising platform user abused a legal service and decided to increase the number of Mobogenie app installations using malicious software," the AdaptiveMobile researchers said. The security vendor, which claims that its technology is used by some of the largest mobile operators worldwide, said that it detected dozens of devices infected with Selfmite in North America. The short goo.gl URL that was used to distribute the malicious APK was visited 2,140 times until Google disabled it. That doesn't mean attackers can't create another URL and launch a new attack campaign. Giving its current distribution model the threat is likely to only affect users who have configured their devices to allow the installation of apps from "unknown sources" -- sources other than Google Play. Most users don't enable this feature on their phones, but some do because there are legitimate apps that are not distributed through Google Play. "The impact on the user is not only have they been fooled into installing a worm and other software they may not want; the worm can use up their billing plan by automatically sending messages that they would not be aware of, costing them money," the AdaptiveMobile researchers said. "In addition, by sending spam the worm puts the infected device at danger of being blocked by the mobile operator. More seriously, the URL that the worm points to [in the browser] could be redirected to point to other .apks which may not be as legitimate as the Mobogenie app." SOURCE

Could you please give the source of the above procedure. Just want to go through the OP to see if anybody got into trouble a after doing the above steps.

Requirements Phone needs to be rooted, How to root here Install Rom Toolbox Lite Run Rom Toolbox Lite, Select Root Browser Select system folder Select app folder Search for OmaDmclient.apk, then click and hold the file till it popups a secondary menu, in secondary menu select RENAME. Rename OmaDmclient.apk to OmaDmclient.apk.bak and press ok. Repeat the same for the below mentioned apk's Activation.apk SPR_Skyfire_observer.apk SPR_Skyfire_Toolbar.apk SprintExtensionProvider.apk SprintID.apk SprintTouch.apk Vtt-Sprint.apk Zone-Sprint.apk xtra_t_app.apk Reboot Phone. DO NOT INSTALL OTA OR UPDATE PHONE WITH THE ABOVE MODIFCATION. If you are on ZV7 or ZV8 and if you receive OTA its very very important to rename all the above apps back to original state and only then install the update.

Anyone got the lcd assembly for this phone ?

People on 4.3 Please try the build_operator=spr from SPR or any other these alphabet word. If there is a value in your build.prop, edit and reboot & see if data works.

Its very hard to separate the digitizer from the lcd

Hmmm we need to know if the data works on ZVC on OMH. DATA on any build below ZVC works without any edit.

One of our fellow member has managed to get data to work on 4.4Kit Kat on RUIM mode. Keep an eye on the forum for a upcoming tutorial.

object is infected by HEUR:Exploit.Script.Blocker.U

yeah bro !!! G2 digitizer dead, waiting for the LCD kit, On Nokia 6275

I have updated to 4.3 by following the link below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1iYdjtIjq0 GSM unlock works with this update. New icons, lot of new things. Will update in next post. If you are in custom recovery, download stock recovery (recovey.img) from the link below http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40850611 Use this recovery.img to flash using mobile odin lite from play store. Remember the update has to be placed in the external sd card. Use stock recovery, install update from external sd card, flash. Will take around 20 mins. IMPORTANT if you have any MODS installed, please uninstall it then flash MF9 firmware and only then update to MJA. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Use the KK unlock then use the build.prop edit & then you will be able to use it in US. So far only one person has reported this. Could not communicate fully. Can give it a shot. Sent from my XT1022 using Tapatalk

In sure he must have tried to downgrade thinking that might help. Sent from my XT1022 using Tapatalk

Stay on that do not update.Sent from my XT1022 using Tapatalk

I I suggest all to stay away from G2 as this problem of one section of LCD going completely dead has been reported world over. It seems this defect is only on Kit Kat and recently my phone also started having problem, horizontal section where numbers 1,2&3 are shown in dialer section does not register touch. Flashing anything other than ZVC also does not solve the problem. My phone bought from Parin was BNIB. my other phone which was gifted to me by a friend same G2 is still on 4.2 does not have this problem. What is the meaning of the above picture? Does LG already know that this problem exists? Or its a precautionary message on any LG phone which shows every time you reboot of the LCD is damaged. Sent from my XT1022 using Tapatalk

Very true, but it also depends on what it's connected to internally, Sony has Samsung screen in it. Screen is secondary, all depends on technology. Just a view. Sent from my XT1022 using Tapatalk

Due to personal reasons I won't be available for anyone via emails or phone. Please respect my decision. Had a fantabulous time with hacking phones. Will miss all. Parin bhai thanks for the initial support. Will call up if I need anything. And I still owe you some thing, will take care of it ASAP. Thanks all for everything.
