Yeah thats where i got the rom to my ally. Very good stuff but no froyo. I will have to wait till verizon does the official update. For now velocity will do the trick. It is actually a very good rom. The stock 2.1 was making me go hulk on it.

I'm in the same boat as OP. I and my girlfriend both have the LG Ally...(she won't let me root hers yet..
That's beside the point. What I really want to know is why XDA doesn't have a forum for this phone. It's been successfully rooted (through adb and with one click method), it has a few descent roms, and a custom recovery. Android forums has a section for this phone, but I honestly like XDA better, simply because there are more devs here. Plus, I think with it's own forum here, the Ally could have a lot more potential, and a ton more support. I just wish I knew where to go to "officially" make this request.lol

Well really losing hope for froyo on my ally. Guess i will have to wait for an upgrade from verizon

You will get no sensible replies to your request.
You have given us nothing to go on. NAND/SD build? Have you deleted any system files/folders? Have you turned on silent mode?
There are just too many potential causes to try and diagnose your problem via this forum if you can't provide more detail than you have.
It will be quicker for you to just reflash whatever it is that you flashed in the first place and try again.

Alright pimping i reflashed it and nothing is happening and that should of fixed it. I just got this phone 15 days ago. I dont get it.

If you've tried different Android ROMs and then tried a WM6.5 ROM and it still doesn't work then it's a hardware issue. Flashing a ROM means that no software issue can carry over into the newly installed ROM, so it's not software.
If you bought it new then get it replaced/fixed under warranty (if not too old). If you bought it 2nd hand then I hope you've got either an understanding seller or a bit of cash to get it fixed.
The fact that it worked briefly, once, suggests a loose connection. One thing to check is whether or not you get audio when you use earphone/headphones. If you do then the ear piece is definitely knackered.

Blank screen through HDMI.Help needed.

I have an Atrix 4G, AT&T branded, but i use it in Europe (unlocked). I have a HD dock. When I'm trying to connect the phone over HDMI (with ot without the dock) blank screen appears on the tv. I'm using the right input, i tried with an LG P990. The phone askes me if i want to use the Entertainment Center or (occasionally) the Webtop. Have you got any idea how to fix this?
System version: 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.Us
Webtop version: N_01.77.37.P
It is an unrooted and unmodified phone. What could be the problem? How can i fix it? Thanks for your replies.

Did you use the same cable with the LG P990? Also, have you tried bypassing the dock by plugging straight from the phone to the TV.

i have tried with the LG's cable and the motorola's cable as well. Also i have tried to connect the phone directly to the tv. Same appears on the screen (blank, nothing).

If it never worked, I would guess it's a hardware issue. The only other thing I can think of is do a "clear data" on the webtop app, but I've never done that so do it at your own risk. Anyone else have any ideas?

Camera not working anymore?

So yesterday I accidentally dropped my phone in milk. I picked got my phone out of it almost immediately, and dried it off. I didn't really think much of it, because everything was still working properly. Today, I tried to use my camera, but when I hit the camera button, the camera app FC'd. I reopened it and I got an error saying "Can't connect to camera". I thought maybe something happened in the ROM, so I restored a backup from about 2 weeks ago, and I got the same message.
Currently, I've got the phone in rice, just in case. Is it possible that the milk is what is causing this? If so, is there any chance that I can fix the camera without sending it in? (I don't have insurance)
The only thing that's keeping me from thinking that the milk is what's causing this, is the fact that everything else is working normally on the phone. I've called people, texted, games, everything is working fine, but the camera.
I'm running Zips most recent build, and my backup was IceColdSandwich. In a few hours when I take my phone out, I'll try a GB rom, but for now, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Yea, MOST of the time, but NOT always, you can go into the phones settings, then into Applications, select the 'All' tab, and find the Camera on the list. Clear the cache, also clear data...that usually works. If not, maybe fix permissions? I always try those methods. But I don't care for ICS so I don't know if its the same as 3.5.....but try that.

Have you tried flashing just a camera? You can go into the Apps and theme section and there is a thread with a few camera packs that you flash in recovery?

Haha so am I. Thanks for the help though, I appreciate it.

Ya it definitely sounds like you nuked a critical component of the camera. Definitely lucky it didn't fry any of the other parts. If you've tried doing a factory reset and completely wiping your disks, don't think there's anything else you can do other than sending it in or attempting to fix it yourself which would require quite a bit of skill and probably some soldering expertise.

I'm using the same rom as you and the same thing happened to me at one point. I managed to fix it though by clearing camera cache, disabling and re-enabling it, and then clearing the dalvik cache and fixing permissions just for kicks. One or all of those things fixed it for me. Try that maybe?

Alright. I'll try it haha. I've been given new hope because the flashlight is working now, so I'm hoping the camera might start working again.
One question though, what do you mean by disabling it and re-enabling it?

When you go to clear the app cache you'll see a button next to the force stop option that says disable. From my understanding its basically like turning off the drivers for the camera. When you re-enable it (same button btw) you reactivate the drivers and it will communicate with the camera again hopefully.
If I'm wrong about any of that someone can correct me. But it still worked to fix my problem anyways

If you do plan on doing that make sure to search the general threads. I saw a really good video there once with someone walking through how to properly disassemble this phone.

Alright, I'll try to find that. The website that I'm ordering the camera from apparently sends step by step instructions.
I guess that's one thing I enjoy about iPhones. They come apart and can be repaired very easily haha

Hope?
Okay, so I randomly tried opening the camera again today, and to my surprise, the app didn't force close or give me the message saying it couldn't connect. Nothing was appearing though, so I didn't think much of it. Then I remembered in Zips build you had to turn force preview on, so I did. Nothing happened, but I tried to take a picture, and the screen turned green with a weird little brownish area in the middle.
I'll upload a picture of it later if anyone wants and thinks maybe they can help me figure it out a little more.
The fact that it's working all of the sudden makes me think it might just randomly go back to normal. However, it might not.
But the fact that the camera is actually turning on now, that means that if anythings broken, its the camera itself, right? Not the hardware around it?

Hmm, upload a picture. My camera started taking those glitchy looking photos before it died on me. If you hadn't mentioned the green and brown detail I would have forgotten.
I'm not saying I can give any more suggestions than I already did but if you're getting the same problem I had then maybe you can categorize this back in the realm of software issues. Better than a hardware failure at least...

Here it is.
But I tried to change the megapixels of the camera, and it "died" again. So I have no idea what to think anymore lol

So, the MyTouch 4G has shown several camera issues; from a black screen to FCing when opening the app. It seemed to be like an update issue to the newest GB but even stock phones that hadn't been updated were also having issues. If anyone has anymore info on this subject please reply here or PM me. I am very interested in this issue as I have a coworker witht the same problem. It has also been shown to reoccur after people think they have "fixed" it with a factory reset or such.

Windows 8 Desktop Freezing Issues

I installed Windows 8 yesterday and it was running fine. All of a sudden about an hour ago it froze but I could still move the mouse. I couldn't click on anything though and had to manually restart. Now I can't open any metro apps without it freezing every time, it takes longer than usual to reboot after manually shutting it down, and my documents, music, etc. Folders are gone. If I can even get to the desktop it'll freeze two minutes later. It is literally unusable. I'm pissed off because this is supposed to be final software from Microsoft and it's worse than Alpha software. How can it be released like this. I've read of other people having the same problems but none of the fixes work for us.

Yea, I installed it on a fresh partition dual booting with Windows 7. I did a Google search of the problem and it seems those who have it can't fix it. I had to wipe the partition and install it again. So far so good.

I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked. It's not like I did anything to make it happen either. It just did all of a sudden out of no where. I think it's maybe a driver problem but Toshiba, for me, hasn't made all their drivers Windows 8 compatible. When I go into control panel and hardware and devices it shows a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. When I got to troubleshoot it it can't find the driver. I manually installed the drivers from Toshiba's site the first time because the sound was crackling but when I had to reinstall I just installed what Windows Update suggested.
