The_Chemist Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 The crackling voice quality is fixed in ZV8. I have read that the crackling voice is fixed in ZV8 on these threads. I'm patiently waiting for my ZV8 to come along (This is why I don't play games of chance - I'm always a donator not a receiver). I can build a computer, and I have no problem whatsoever repairing Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometers at work, but I'm afraid to root or install the updates to my phone. I'm afraid I'll "brick" it! Go figure... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get how the conversation turned into advocated for a root/brick fest on your phone? Don't worry the ZV8 firmware will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostkilla1388 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Well i finally picked up some 4g on my g2 today, had a -114 and pulled 3.5mb down and same up. Looking forward to more (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericdabbs Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I use the Wanam Kit for 4.4. Yes Wanam Kit is fine for Nexus 5 because that uses stock Android just like how this Xposed module could be used for CM/AOSP and the description say sits for Nexus 5 4.4+ stock Android ROMs. However I assume Jonathanm1978 uses the G2 with LG stock rom. In this case the Quickboot app is a much better option if you need a quick reboot and recovery option instead of looking around and installing random modules just to find this one feature that he needs. I personally use the Quickboot app to launch into TWRP recovery and works great. I love the G2 Xposed module because it has features that are specific to the G2 that the Wanam Kit wouldn't provide. Besides we are using the 4.2.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I meant was that I wish I knew how to load the ZV8 update myself NOW instead of having to wait for it. My phone is one of the cracklers I'd be afraid to try and load it like you and the other experts on this forum can so easily do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My phone is one of the cracklers I'd be afraid to try and load it like you and the other experts on this forum can so easily do. If you are not rooted, you don't have to worry about these other methods since you These other methods involve flashing the ZV8 update using TWRP recovery since they don't want to have to flash back to stock firmware and redo settings just to take the OTA. I personally updated to ZV8 using these other methods via flashing a zip file in TWRP recovery so I don't have to flash back to stock firmware since it will take a lot of time and effort to redo everything. If you are rooted, it is not advised to take the OTA update since it may cause issues when the stock OTA update tries to install on something that is rooted. It is advised to flash back to stock firmware and be unrooted as if its a brand new phone and then take the OTA update. But at the same time this is why people on this thread and on XDA are looking for ways to flash the new ZV8 firmware update without needing to flash back to stock firmware to save time.

mrrogers1 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Wondering... Can current G2 owners who also used an HTC EVO4GLTE compare RF numbers. It's my understanding to expect better numbers from the G2, was curious as to how much better. Thanks Um.... yeah, the EVO LTE is a dog of dogs when it comes to RF performance... the worst name for a device that had such troubles with LTE. Lol I did have EVO LTE and my wife currently uses a EVO LTE and side by side, my HTC One and the LTE, One was much better than the EVO LTE and my G2 is even better (in my comparisons) than the One. I don't know why or what device people came from (maybe they had Note 2's or something) that the G2 isn't performing up to standards but real world, the G2 has been great and definitely a HUGE step up from the EVO LTE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanm1978 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I'm not rooted at all, so hardware is the only way I can do anything right now. By the way, the G2 has a fresh PRL, from 55016 to 60657. I'm not sure, but if I remember right, the iPhone PRL matches this doesn't it? Wasn't 55016 the PRL iPhone had also?

blakebaa Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I received the update for the second time, today. Once last week, and now at about 6:30 this morning. I am rooted, so that might be the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LG-LS980 (G2) using Tapatalk Current (from what I have seen today) is 55017. You saying you got that 60657 today? I got 55017 today. EDIT! Just updated my buddies phone, who has the software update on his G2 and yes, I see, PRL just went from 55016 to 60657. Interestingly enough, I do not have the software update yet and no amounts of PRL updates will bump me up past 55017.

digiblur Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Software on the phone doesn't drive the PRL version. It's based on the device type and account type combination. 55017 is what residential account LTE world phones get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone needs to pull it with QPST. It's easy on that phone. Put it in diag mode and hit read. That rl0 file is the PRL. Send it to me.

KD8JBF Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I was rooted when I tried the update...twice...and no go. I force "side loaded" the update after downloading and it loaded successfully, however, I was "Un-Rooted" again. I just had to run the ioroot again and all was good in the world....
