Whats up guys,
I bought this optimus G(at&t) few days ago on craigslist but never bother testing it.
now today i realized there is no sound from earpiece during phone calls. even if i turn on the speaker still no sound..The other person cant hear me either..
Then i tried using skype , and the calls are working absolutely fine both on earpiece and speakerphone..
So i feel like its some kind of software issue because the hardware itself is fine.
does anyone know how does warranty works on phones bought on craigslist??
or anyone else faced similar problem.. (i already did a factory reset , it did not solve the problem)
i am 100% sure this phone is not 1 year old..
(i dont want to root , that will be my last resort )
If you don't want to root, you may want to try to reflash stock firmware, as it may be a corrupted/tampered with file. I'm on mobile, so give me a few and I'll edit my post w links to help you find the right info on how to safely do so.
Be warned, this will most likely wipe all data on internal memory so save anything you don't want to loose to PC/sync w Google.
*edit*
Here is a link to tsilenzio's lngpst guide. It has links for all the files you will need along with instructions on how to reflash stock firmware.

And here is jhoopes517's guide to lngpst on windows 8, just in case you have win 8. All the same files will work as far as I know, just a slightly diff procedure due to the newer windows.

There is another guide to lngpst to stock, just skip the rooting part and start on #2.

oh well i didnt see your post...
well i went to AT&t store, they refused to honor warranty.. They said they honor only to original owner..
then i called LG they said it has 7 months of warranty left. So i just sent the phone to them..
Its all good, good to know lg honors 2nd owners w warranty.

Hello everyone, i hope you can help me.
2 days ago i bought a LG Optimus One / P500h
I loved the phone, my first android.
But when i received my first call, the person talking to me couldn't hear me. I called her back and she didn't hear me. So i got this microphone problem. Sometimes it works and sometimes not, i don't know what's the problem, i'm thinking to try to get my money back (it's a used phone i bought from a guy of the work) but i wonder if i can fix it or make it better somehow.
I need this help until tomorrow because it's the day i'll see him, if i can fix it, i'll try.. but if i can't i'll have to give it back :/
I think its a network signal/hardware problem ..so none tricks would work!

Have you had this problem on the stock kernel, or just with perseus?

I'd find it hard to believe if anyone doesn't have this issue on their Note 2. All 3 Note 2's in my family have exhibited this problem since day 1 of ownership of each device. I've also read about people reporting it all over various forums.
I'm sure some people will suggest that their device doesn't have any crackling at max volume, but who knows. I'm chalking it up to that's just the way it is and either get a different phone altogether or get used to it

Yeah I feel ya. I am dismissing it as just the way it is because there's no way my family alone has 3 lemons. Not possible. Especially considering all 3 were purchased from separate locations at separate times.
I wish I could get lucky though like the deniers and get a special little snowflake device, sheltered from the harsh defects of assembly line processing.

After my last bad experience with Xperia zl and after reading how other people have experienced issues after rooting their note 3 I was wondering if rooting has any adverse effects on the phones functionality. What are cons of rooting?
There's bit of lag on note 3 which is really annoying for such a beast.
Any advice would be much appreciated thanks

root it, that is all.
Forget what everyone says about problems, Even if you were to brick this thing it can be restored to stock through odin. I have been screwing with this thing since it came out and my team has done quite a bit to it. Ones even working on a full rom atm.
Just do it!

If you use the CF-AutoRoot method and follow the directions step by step (perhaps also remove SIM-Card and SD-Card before setting the phone in download mode and running Odin) then you should have a flawless experience, it took me less than 10 minutes out of the box and I was rooted and ready to go.
Chainfire and QbKing77 have put together comprehensive guides on rooting the Note 3 for just about every provider. Just make sure you choose the correct .tar file for your phone model.
Root your device at your own risk. Using this root method sets current binary and system status to custom. Additionally, it will also trigger the KNOX warranty void status. The KNOX warranty status change is permanent, and a service center may deny warranty based on this flag – even if the other flags are reset correctly. The KNOX flag being tripped may also prevent certain Samsung KNOX features from working (enterprise security features).
If you're worried about the losing your warranty, wait for a KNOX workaround, or a potential TriangleAway update.

Not sure if you're referring to my suggestion. The reason I recommend removing the SD-Card and SIM-Card is to prevent the chance of ODIN wiping any data from them. An old habit but prevention is the best solution. Bricks are no fun.
Also remember that restoring does not work with the note 3 yet so nandoids don't work and if u do a restore, u will not be able to Odin back to stock from what I've read. I will wait until all the kinks are worked out

If you bought the phone retail you should have 14 days to return the phone. The Black Note 3 that I picked up from Best Buy on Friday was an upgrade from Sprint. I tooled around with it, rooted and installed a customer recovery on Saturday and tried to install a ROM yesterday. Things went awry and I ended up with a brick Black Note 3 and rather then waste time trying to unbrick it I returned it to BestBuy this morning and exchanged it for the white model.
Some might argue that it's not cool to do that because the phone will be relegated to pre owned status and Sprint/Samsung will have to write of the depreciated value of a two day old as a loss.
I don't care though because I signed a 2 year contract with Sprint and they'll screwing me for a lot more and for a much longer them then I could have ever screwed them.

What does this have to do with the original question asked... Also if your to lazy to unbrick this phone which is only about 10 clicks and 10 minutes long then that's not very impressive to me. A lot of respect is lost in this post.. I may not agree with sprints prices but still that's not cool

It has a lot to do with the original question. The question was whether or not to root and the answer mitigated the danger of having a root gone bad. It had nothing to do with being Lazy. I wasn't able to fix the phone in 10 clicks or 1,000 clicks and I spent much more than 10 minutes trying. After trying to flash the firmware didn't work I began to run out of idea's but it didn't stop me from trying. It's a new device and I wasn't able to locate many resources to help my guess it they haven't been created yet.
I said it's not something I normally do but I justified it because of the 10 years of repressed anger I have towards Sprint. I'm still annoyed at having to pay a monthly surcharge for having a smartphone beginning in 2010 with the HTC EVO 4G. And despite Sprints marketing the phone as 4G I never got 4G with that phone. Then there was the mismanaged OTA ICS update from Sprint. I could make a list of things to complain about to Sprint but there is no recourse after you sign the contract because you have no leverage.

My local stores here in Phoenix say they have it in stock.
Had the GN3 about 4 days now, rooted on the first with CF-AutoRoot, easiest root ever and no problems yet. Still on the stock ROM but will be flashing TWRP and Freeza's DeOdexed Stock ROM this weekend if nothing else is available by then, gonna start ripping out the bloatware.
I upgraded from the Galaxy Epic 4G and boy what an upgrade it was, the GN3 is insanely powerful.
Just be aware that the development on the SM-N900P is growing quickly but has yet to solve some important issues being investigated;
* Nandroid backups in TWRP not recoverable, CWM is not recommended for recovery (not sure why)
* Some users are having issues with Titanium Backup, though I haven't used it or experienced it.
* KNOX binary counter cannot be reset once triggered, It breaks your warranty and it shows your device as being rooted/custom. It is currently considered permanent. Modify your Galaxy Note 3 at your own risk.
* WiFi Tether apps bring up a Sprint Hot Spot notification with only one confirmed workaround. (Wifi Tether Router, a paid app)
* Only Stock Odex/DeOdex ROMs available at the moment, developers are working hard to clean up the Samsung/Spring mess and implement solutions for the problems listed above.

Good info, thanks. I'm not planning on flashing anything at the moment as it's way too soon. I dont use wifi tether much but I will fool around with some other tether mods that I use on my Note II and see if that works. Other than that all I want to do right out of the box is root the thing and de-bloat it... for now

Had mine for 4 days now. Still uprooted (this is killing me. . Usually root my phones seconds after taking them out of the box) but see people with serious issues after rooting so I am holding out. I have had issues with phone call quality which has been discussed places. Not sure what the issue is. . Mostly use my phone for texting and Web stuff to be honest. . Only noticed the problem when I read about it and made some test calls.

If you're having the call issues like some others are I wondered if you have another device with Sprint that you can do some test calls on and see if the problems is there also? I haven't had any issues here with my Note II. Problem for me is I am planning on trading mine in at Radio Shack and if the Note 3 turns out to be a huge piece of crap then I'm screwed cause my Note II will be gone. I read that someone is going on his 4th Note 3 cause of the call issues but isnt sure if it's Sprint or the device yet.
So is there anyone who has a Sprint Note 3 that has no issues whatsoever with it?

I will be returning mine before my 14 day period is done. this is a great phone but there are some issues with the hardware or software don't know which. I also drop my phone calls all the time. This is a known sprint issue that they have to fix. Half the time it won't even stay connected to my air rave. This is truly a beast of a phone but I think I would wait.
On a side note I've never had these problems with my note 2 I will be reactivating it until they come up with a solution.

I've not had any problems with my GN3. Calls connet fine, wifi stays connected when I use it, great sound quality, I've read about some issues people have had but it sounds like the majority of them could be contributed to Sprint service and not necessarily the phone.

See that's what I'm thinking too. I have the Note II and have not had a single issue with it but I am reading about all of these Note 3 issues and the more I hear the more it sounds software related. Calls sounding like **** on Sprint but not while roaming or not Wifi calls etc... That;s definitely not hardware. I hope Sprint and Samsung fix it before they both look like total idiots and everyone takes their phones back.
I've had zero issues with mine so far and I'm on day #5. I still haven't rooted for the reasons others have stated. I did order my phone online from Sprint though because none of the retailers here had the black phone in stock. I went from the HTC One to this and couldn't be happier.

How much is their Note 3 though?
After having to use my wifes SIII last night because I dropped the same call 4 times. I took my Note 3 back today with the intent to wash my hands of it for now, my Sprint guy said it's gotta be a hardware issue. So I let him replace the phone. I am having the same issues! Dropped calls that are digitized. It so happens that the Sprint product rep was there today and when I mentioned it to her she looked at me like I had lobster claws coming out of my head. This one is gong back as well! Going back to my Note 2. Errrrrrrhhh!

Same here no problem whatsoever and I'm stock rooted .Had the phone for a week already .
Hey all. So I have an S5 and I love it...minus one thing. The mic seems screwed up. Ppl calling me say they hear really bad reverb, echo like distortion, and sounds like the audio if you try to stream video over a dialup modem. Going through tests with Tmo tech dept and proving that Bluetooth works just fine points us to a problem with the mic. So, Tmo is sending me a new Samsung Galaxy S5.
Here's the deal, I'm on stock but I'm rooted. I'm also on the first firmware. ..not the one with bad speed or the new #6 one.
For replacement I had to verbally agree that my phone wasn't water damaged, cracked, etc., which would void warranty and I'd be charged $170. Rooting wasn't an option that they asked me.
So my question is should I worry about it? I was planning on wiping the phone so none of my apps are on it, but now I'm wondering if I should do the ane6 (? Don't remember name right now) which will remove root and then do a factory reset.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

No, I wouldn't be. Don't bother updating or anything, just flash the stock tar with odin and sent it back. But as a disclaimer, don't blame me if they do check.
