I read today on Pulse that Google music is only allowing 4 device de-activations per year. What that means for us every were installing a new rom and using Google music, most of the time its seeing our device as a new device because of a new rom. They are only allowing 10 devices and once you get that full you have to deactivate one to add your new rom....I changed my rom 3 times last week alone.
Anybody have an idea about a work around for this?
This was just an FYI for anybody that didn't know.

As fast as it sucks, it gets better.
Google changes mind about device deactivations
Unofficially NOTEd
It's like using a banking app, back up data in tibu and you won't need "re-install" or activate the phone again. If I backup my banking app and restore it, I don't need to verify my device.
What if they tracked the deactivated devices and only allow 4 re-activations per year?
What if...
Let's wait to see what they decide to do. They are trying to figure it all out right now.
For a very limited time, google is allowing you to deactivate all your old devices while they upgrade their system. Good luck guys

That's only if/when you restore apps WITH DATA, which is generally not a good idea when you're switching out roms and kernels.

I wish Google would just grab the phones IMEI number and log that. That's a constant that does not change.

SO i just got a GSII for xmas and I want to pass down my old phone to my children so they don't bug me to let them play with my new phone all the time
Can anyone create a rom package for me that would allow them to only get on wifi, play games, and surf the internet?
If not can anyone give me some instructions for how to disable calling and data all the time?
Thanks,
when the phone is deactivated it can no longer make calls or use data. It will only be able to use wifi to do everything you need. Its like an iPod now.

Deactivated phones can still dial 911... That may be an issue for some people.
I know on the Eris forum, someone came up with a script to disable the CDMA/EVDO raidio and the dialer app.

Miui or touchwhiz is ideal for a children. Cyanogenmod is too advanced and or ugly looking.

You can also put a PIN on the phone functionality. Not sure if this only applys to GSM phones, but under security - there is a Set up SIM card lock.

easiest way to do it would be to deactivate it and then either use a custom launcher to hide the apps, or get a locking app and password protect the phone and whatever else app. then you don't need to have a custom rom or anything and you still know the password if you did need to access those apps in an emergency.

You have to switch versions to get it set up so it won't be in any ROM most likely. They could include a script executable to get the job done but that's about it.

it's likely that it won't, because when google wallet gets updated, it's pretty much useless. system will recognize the model of your phone and carrier and you'll be blocked immediately. If this incident happens, people will blame the developer that it doesn't function properly.

We ran into this on the GS3 on AT&T. We had a flashed installed, but then if you pulled the update down from Play it would hose Wallet. It was a simple - don't update Wallet and you had no problems.

You could stick it in there but it would be worthless. You have to edit the build prop while adding your cards then revert back to the original. Wouldnt make much sense to include when you have yo go through this anyways. Just flash the zip its the only extra step.

Have you flashed Google wallet with different rom builds or totally different roms before?? It's not as easy as just simply flashing a couple files like on the S3 and editing the build.prop back, and your done...? I have already had to re-do my wallet and it has been a TEDIOUS experience... I think everyone that has done it a few times could tell ya but it's just different somehow, I think they stepped up security or something with this phone it seems... I can follow a guide to a "T" and it will do something different than my last flash... This has got to be one of the mods that makes me not wanna change roms so frequently like I used to... Don't know what the deal is though? I finally got my current Beans 4 setup ( and fully functional ) with the wallet mod, s-pen sound mod and Perseus kernel so I am happy, but the wallet mod was the longest and most tedious part of upgrading roms IMO. It's a must have for me seeing as tons of places use it around my location and it just makes things simpler. And you never have to worry about forgetting your ( back pocket ) wallet! While I don't really think that it could be included in a rom, I think that there has to be a better way than what it is now...

Then you'll soon or later run into compatibility issue. It may work for a few weeks, but may not work afterwards. It seems like current google apk recognizes our carrier and model via build.prop. The only way to make the google wallet to work as of right now is by temp. changing build.prop to nexus and switching it after overwriting the legit apk with modded one.....and this is not an easy process. So developers can't just integrate the wallet in the rom......it won't work. lmao

Hopefully the physical Google Wallet card and Google Wallet apk to go with get released in the near future so we don't have to deal with this nonsense anymore.
I dicked with the Google Wallet setup and my ass was had man, I screwed up right at the end trying to get the build.prop file to edit properly and when I screwed it up, I got the neverending boot cycle, effectively bricking my device. It sucked ass and required a ton of shenanigans to fix. FML

If one was using the stock ROM but had it rooted, updating would presumably deroot the device, right? Or would the update fail?
I meant Q-slide was suppose to be working with other apps, like the whole browser not just certain videos, and it was suppose to work with other apps natively. In the notification bar there was suppose to be a Q-slide bar under the brightness bar and you could select apps to play over your current app.

Dude I NEVER had that option since I took the phone out the box at the AT&T store. You're saying you had that to begin with? I find that very odd....
So I did some searching around to see exactly what Q Slide is SUPPOSED to be and I think you must have this feature confused with something else or another phone all together. Even on various videos and LG's own website, Q Slide is used to watch VIDEOS and use apps at the same time. It says absolutely nothing about having 2 different apps on top of each other at the same time. I think you are confusing yourself mate.

Based on your experience is this normal that i don't have it yet?
I don't remember when exactly they started rolling out this update. I think it was earlier this week - I remember reading an article about it and checking and I already had it. I wouldn't worry if you don't have it yet. There wouldn't be any harm in installing the apk though if you want it sooner for some reason.

I thought it was earlier last week... either way I'm not worried about it. Just curious to see how long it will take. Read somewhere that disabling verizon apps stops you from receiving OTAs... if that was true I assume it would be VZW OTAs not google.
Play Store and individual app updates are not VZW controlled. They'll roll out when pushed by Google for your device. Verizon updates are disabled by most ROMs as a lot of times they break root. If you're still stock, I'm not sure you can disable any apps that would block Verizon OTAs.

Nothing specific just trying to see how long it will take to receive the 4.1.10 update. Figured by now it would have come.
4.1.10 was a bug fix for the bad battery drain in location services. If you're getting high battery % in your battery stats with google services or android system good chance 4.1.10 will fix that

Not sure. From what I've heard it takes google around 3 weeks to push it out to all phones. I'm inpatient, if there's an update for my phone I track it down and install it myself. Its been around 2 wks since it was released, so I'd give it 1-2 more wks if you're testing it.
