Guest BK2FUT Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 ...and I thought buying from Carphone Warehouse (UK) was a good idea. Since it's an unbranded phone I thought that as soon as LG got it sorted it would appear, but it seems like Carphone Warehouse people are getting the long wait... Frustrating. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest he6rt6gr6m Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 It's really not that big-a deal. I'm using the same unbranded type CW hand out, and have installed the Baltic ROM, which has been working superbly. Mountain out of a molehill, some people...

Guest AerospaceMango Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) It's really not that big-a deal. I'm using the same unbranded type CW hand out, and have installed the Baltic ROM, which has been working superbly. Mountain out of a molehill, some people... True, but then I seem to have got a lot of system notification bars come up since I went to the Baltic.... That didn't happen on 1.6....so I'm waiting on the official to see whether that is a feature of 2.1! PLUS, I get a lot of "forced restart" on a bundle of apps..... This should change with the Offish build, I would hope! EDIT* And, of course, once the offish build is in, I'll be doing the root and Apps2sd stuff....to make life easier!

Guest he6rt6gr6m Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Not had any of those problems personally, but that probably varies from user to user. I consider myself pretty light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest new123 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 UK Carphonewarehouse 2.1 Is out. You can either get it via the LG support tool if you are still running original 1.6 and havent flashed. Or you can downloa the following ROM and manually flash. http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW..._00/V20B_00.kdz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NeoStar9X Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I've been trying the LG Support Tool for the past two days with no luck. Each time it says my phone is up to date with 1.6. Maybe it knows I'm checking from a US based IP address even though I'm setting the country to the UK? I keep feeling I'm doing something wrong. I see that there are updates for the phone and the tool is showing my model is and currently version yet still get it's up to date. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything and still get the same result. I would rather not flash the device to be honest. Getting to the point where I just might end up returning it (unlocked version). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting to the point where I just might end up returning it (unlocked version). Like you I waited until the update was officially available on the LG update tool before upgraded (saturday just gone). I updated and everything was fine apart from something Ithought was a problem but it wasnt. Ive since flashed my phone (using the refernence thread in this forum) and its a piece of cake. Ive tried a couple of roms and now im back on the cpw 2.1. I can confirm that it is identical to the orignal LG official update. Dont worry - just do it!

Guest NeoStar9X Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Okay a question. This is the one thing I haven't tried. Does a sim card have to be in the phone, or at least have been in the phone, in order for the update tool to work properly? I've never actually taken my sim card out of my current phone and placed it into the new one. Wanted to test it out first and was hoping I could just update it. Now I'm starting to think perhaps this is my problem. However being in the US not sure if this would cause any issues as I'm using an AT&T sim card. My phone currently says firmware 1.6 but software version v10c. Would that version number cause any issues? I've been rethinking just following the guide here on the forums but want to try every other wary first. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the Baltic and the CPW are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NeoStar9X Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Was thinking the CPW if I was going to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AerospaceMango Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) Was thinking the CPW if I was going to do it. Well, crack on with it then!!! It's really easy if you follow the directions. http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540...ference-thread/ This is the thread to follow! In 20 mins (max) you will have a stable 2.1 Droid!!!

Guest NeoStar9X Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks for the help but going to be sending the phone back tomorrow. I could flash it but that I even have to when the official tools don't work when they should (nothing seems to be wrong with my system or even work computer when I tried there) is just frustrating. Rather just wash my hands of the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
