Just got this, only took a couple days and really cheap. It has a good range but not so great through walls. Very small and convenient

Wondering (as I was looking at these today as well) if it will auto pair after it powers down and repairs with the last thing it was paired with?
Want to get this setup in my car and for the price is great.

About 2 weeks ago my GPS would connect really slow. Today when i tried to use it wouldn't even connect. I tried wiping the caches and the SD card. I use Waze for my GPS. Anyone else experience this?

there's a fix in the general section that addresses this issue. Apparently it's a hardware issue where the tabs in your phone don't seem to make the connection to the antenna. the fix points out which connectors to adjust but requires you opening your phone. I've been experiencing this issue as well. I find massaging the top back right (when looking at the phone) seems to help but it's only a temp fix. I'm debating if I want to send the phone in for an RMA for that and a weird sim issue I've been experiencing.

Opening it isn't that difficult. Just follow the instructions and be gentle on the prongs when you pull them up.

Just go to the drug store and get an eyeglasses repair kit. The screwdrivers in those are generally small enough and the whole kit costs less than $2.00 US.

I bought a husky multi tip "jewlers" screwdriver from Home Depot, best $10 I spent. Got the philips/standard one and the torques one. I use those to tear everything down. I say invest a little and keep em for years. But that's just me, I tear lots of things apart. If you want I can get you the husky product numbers off them.

2 sec GPS lock and no more sim issues plus 3 month warranty extended onto my phone. I'm fairly content, couldn't get anyone to give me any sorts of discounts on a Note 2 but I still love this phone.
Had this same problem - flashed a GB radio - everything is now working perfectly.
Just an FYI.

The past couple of weeks I noticed that every once in a while my phone would be in drive mode for no apparent reason. Well last night I realized it was the magnet in my nexus 7 case that was causing it. If you place the magnet on the back of the optimus g it activates driving mode. Don't know if there are any car accessories with magnets but was wondering if it could be programmed to open a different app. Don't know how useful it would be but just a thought.

I set my phone on my Bluetooth hmdx jam speaker ant it has been doing that since this phone came out.
Old this was discussed like December if I recall. We came to the conclusion that it was a ditched peripheral from lg for a ditched car accessory

I just loaded SnowJB and it doesn't seem to do it anymore. Only worked on stock ICS it seems. This ROM doesn't have the drive mode app so that's probably why. It was annoying so glad its gone.

Does not work on snow job but that's OK.

Ya
U might have been shocked to see this app free after u purchased it lol
I have purchased long before and already used alot so no regrets. Also I got with offer from sygic website. Rs 1500 for 2 licence. Also each licence you can use in 5 different device. So it was just negligible price.
But one good reason to believe this free is
When i have see option to purchase from sygic app, all other countries have price tag but for India it shows get free from play store.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I can't find a paid version on mention of a trial or the app asking me to pay for it. I guess they really made it free.

Not very, why not just get a wireless charging dock and a wireless charging back cover for your s4 and cancel the replacement?

I agree have someone fix it or look on YouTube for a step by step guide. MDK is too valuable to loose! That's why I'm so careful with mine, I've gotten so used to aosp I couldn't go back to touchjizz.

as myself previously having a MDK S4 rooted in all AOSP glory and having to get a replacement and stuck with safe strap now. you really really want to keep your phone and fix it yourself. This phone is a POS when not AOSP.

Well not true. There are wireless connection methods used everywhere with this phone: I happen to use Hyperdrive Rom's FTP transfer to connect my MDK S4 to my home's wireless network, to transfer files between phone and computer. You can do everything you need to wirelessly: charging, and file transfers!!
You don't need to fix anything, just buy the wireless charging thing, and do wireless file transfers!
Plus we've got removable batteries. I've got two spares and an external charger/dock. I just rotate the batteries while charging isn't available.

Oh, good point. Well, I guess if you need to use one of those things, you'll have to replace the USB port, or lose your MDK. Sucks, but I'd go for replacing the USB port any day. It's a good opportunity for learning more about how phones are put together, too.
UPDATE: Ordered the part from Amazon, got it in about 2 days. Took about 10 minutes to swap, and that was only because I was having a hard time putting the super small screws back in. Everything went well and I have a working usb port and kept MDK!

Also beware of this before you buy:
I purchased this product because my Galaxy S4 USB port stopped working. I installed the replacement part and so far so good - my phone charges again! I initially had a microphone problem (which others have mentioned here), but I was able to resolve it by removing an orange / amber colored piece of protective tape that was covering the microphone port / hole.
