[T-Mobile LG G2x] jbbxwolf:
I just tried it online and they are allowing me to buy the phone off contract as well. cancelled at the last minute cause I already have my on-contract g2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
@Divinedark, you heard the wrong thing through the wrong grapevine. Sorry bro. Your inside source has been proved wrong. I also called T-Mobile and told them I was interested in buying a G2x off contract but only if I were able to get a unlock code for it right away. They said it wouldn't be a problem. I guess you should just go ahead and remove your post since it's false information.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AuroEdge:
I've called Tmobile custom support on multiple different days and they said they would not offer up an unlock code for a non contract phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
They did it for me and my Vibrant back in July and I wasn't on contract. Did you word this wrong because if you purchase a phone through a upgrade and are under a contract they will not give you a unlock code since you do not own the device. If you aren't under contract and you purchase the device at retail price then it's all yours and they will give you a unlock code. Whether or not you have to be a T-Mobile customer is a different story.

If you have to be a customer then just purchase the phone retail and sign up for the cheapest plan possible. Ask for a unlock code which you will get within 3 days and then just cancel your account.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AuroEdge:
I did not word this wrong. I was very explicit about wanting to buy the phone, without contract, and that I am NOT a customer of T-Mobile. Every answer I received was very candid about the fact that their policy is to not give out codes and that they do have a SIM subsidy program for those who are T-Mobile customers. I will add with a grain of salt one might get lucky when they call up customer support and find a representative who does not know the current policy and unlocks your phone. Not likely.

I am going to take a chance and go through a website and pay $14.99 for it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nomisunrider:
Customer support does not provide unlock codes. The Sim Unlock Team does.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
They have always unlocked devices for me but I guess it's because I am a T-Mobile customer, just not locked into a contract with them. My Vibrant being my most recent device I got unlocked. Just called customer service and they emailed me the unlock code 2 to 3 days later.

Thats kind of childish on there part. There not losing any money by giving you the code since you paid for the device in full. They may have made a little bit of money off you actually. I'm sure they didn't have to pay LG $499. Like you said, your best bet is to pay a 3rd party $15 for a unlock code.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lionsson:
I got great news I just called T Mobile and was upfront of what I was wanting to do with the purchase of the G2x and they said as long as you buy it at full retail price, they said they have the options under their policy to give out unlock phone code at the moment of purchase. So I'm thinking of buying the G2x and than buy a phone on contract with AT&T that has good resale value and sell it, and in a way AT&T is subsidizing my G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
If you don't currently have a contract with AT&T, one has to ask. Why the hell would you want to go into one? If your in a area where T-Mobile has service, they have less dropped calls and faster download speeds. Every phone I get through T-Mobile has been better call wise and data wise than my Wifes iPhone with AT&T. We live North of Baltimore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Divinedark:
I stated nothing as fact... bro... I was merely stating that in another of the AT&T threads, someone who said they worked for T-Mo was told just what I wrote. It seems very location specific. Some people are being told they will sell them one, some are saying that they'll sell it, but not give them the code, and some are saying they're not being offered either. So, there you go... bro... :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Must be something new...

It has always been T-Mobile's policy to only give unlock codes to current customers who have been with them for at least 90 days and have a good pay history. This is something new if they now allow non customers to buy a device and obtain a lock code. Since the unlock codes must come from LG, I highly doubt anyone would be provided with a unlock code on the day they buy the phone.

Could be some CS reps looking to up their quotas by giving less than accurate information. Get it in writing before you buy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
So you saying some stores aren't giving you a G2x if you aren't under contract? I think you just worded it wrong. You probably meant they aren't selling them to non-T-Mobile customers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Divinedark:
Yes. That's what I meant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Ok because in your initial post you said they weren't selling them to "non-contracted customers".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lionsson:
First let me tell you I've been with AT&T/Cingular for 6 years and had over half a dozen different phones including the iPhone 3gs, in my location AT&T is king when it comes to coverage and speed sorry it's just the way it is in my location. Second when I was a iPhone user I too had many drop call and poor singal, and for the longest time I was trouble with this dilemma until I bought a Nexus One and that's when it hit me, Apple had intentionally program their software to save as much battery as possible without realizing the consequences this would bring to their customers.

Just ask you self why is it most of the people complaining about poor network are iPhone owner?

This is just my opinion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lionsson:
I just bought the G2x and I misunderstood what the rep explain. This is how it's going down, I bought the G2x and in the store they started the process to getting a unlock code from the Sim Unlock Team I was upfront what I wanted and since I bought it retail price they said it shouldn't be an issue getting a unlock code. they even verified if it with the Manager and even called someone above the store manager to make sure it was ok. Right now I have to wait from 1 day to 2 weeks to get a respond. I don't know if I can wait for that long so if someone has a reliable way of unlocking it I would appreciate it. I will try to wait until next Wednesday for T Mobile because I want to see it with my own eyes, if you will, that this is real.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lionsson:
Just got my Email from T-Mobile Sim Unlock Team and it worked, but I have bad news I called Tmobile and LG and had extensive conversation with them, basically came to the conclusion that the frequencies are there but the software is not configure to work with AT&T's 3G network until and if the merger is fulfilled. And even a Tmobile advance support hinted that this was done for their business purposes not because the phone wasn't capable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RubiconJoey:
So if I bought the phone used and called them up and claimed I bought the phone for full retail to get a sim unlock code..would they know any different? I know it could be easily known if they wanted to, but do they even check?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dhanu:
I found this site selling unlock codes for $3.

unlockg2x . com

[I can't post links, since I'm a new member]

Anyone familiar with the site? Just wanted to check if it's a scam or not

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
It is probably legit. I can get you an unlock code for $5.00 paid via PayPal if you want a guaranteed reliable source.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dhanu:
Thanks. My phone is still on the way :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dhanu:
ok, I gave them a try and purchased a code. Received the code after about 40mins and it worked.

Now if I can just find a $3 unlock code for my HTC Sensation...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
HTC codes are much more expensive. They run around $30 to buy.

So after I botched something... I don't know what I did, I was trying to follow this:

on my WiFi Xoom.

Well now I'm stuck and can't get my WiFi to turn back on, it just says "Error" under it and doesn't allow me to do anything.

Any recommendations?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldsworthy:
The same thing happend to me! I had to go out and buy a new xoom. I ended up takeing the non wyfi xoom apart and now I have a extra battery!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aronslusa:
Oh god no, lol.... I've returned far too many things to BestBuy....

::EDIT::

Talked to BBuy Customer Service. Told them of my problem for the most part and they held aside a new Xoom for me after Geek Squad checked it out.

Back to a new, locked, non-rooted device and I think I'll keep it that way for a while unless there's some MAJOR advancement in technologies where I absolutely NEED to root it for some ub3r crazy stuff.

You can lock/ delete the post at will.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joen1ce:
I had done the same thing. Likely, all you had to do was insmod /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko to get it working again. That's what I did.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aronslusa:
Thank you much! I will keep that in mind for next time.

I'm going to stray away from rooting, as mentioned, until the files are released from Motorola to relock and what not.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahotz:
I have experience the same issue after flashing version 1.4.0 of tiamat. i tried this on my wifi xoom and it says insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko' failed (Exec format error) . Do you have any suggestions?
[G Tablet General] danny_extremex:
I got my G-tablet from TD about a month back, flashed to Vegan Tab 5.1 as soon as I got it. She was sweet :) Very very fast, I was just showing off in college everyday LOL. Tried a 1.4 Ghz ROM yesterday but I restored stock partitions today, put in the stock 1.0.1 and sent it back to TD. It had a stuck pixel from day one, and I tried almost all those stuck-pixel fixer apps, let some run overnight but none worked. TD did not have replacement tablets to offer me and the wait time for a new replacement tablet right now is about a month. So I'm just doing the return :(

Thinking of ordering one from Amazon for the same $299 but I think I'd just give it a month, see if Viewsonic comes out with an IPS/AMOLED screen sporting baby soon. I never really had a problem with the screen though unlike a lot other people. Maybe I'll just be getting another G-tab. Let's see how it goes!
[G Tablet General] irishrally:
I just got my gtab last friday and I couldn't be happier with it. Can't be beaten with tegra 2 16gb flash for $250. Sure the screen isn't great but I'd take the gtab + $400 with a crappy screen over the Xoom any day. The dev support for the gtab is just amazing.

Anyway, best of look with your decision. If they had announced the Asus Transformer for the US and for ~$400 then I'd say wait, otherwise the gtab is a no brainer for < $300. The gtab is future proof for another year.
[G Tablet General] pqrs:
i was just in my local td and they had a pile of gtabs...;)
[G Tablet General] davidukfl:
i got my tab on friday. I also have 2 dead pixels. I'm gonna try one of the pixel fixer apps to see if that works. If not i can probably live with them, they aren't to noticable
[G Tablet General] danny_extremex:
Exactly and thanks! The G-tab is future-proof and the devs working on it are amazing. Tegra-2 and Tegra-2 3D are the way to go. You got yours for $250? Nice! I got it about the same time that woot put it up for $299.

The tab was sweet and responsive. I just couldn't get over the stuck pixel. It was one of the annoying blue/green/yellow pixels that you could see clearly. Think I'll order one soon enough from Amazon (as soon as my refund's been processed) :)
[G Tablet General] danny_extremex:
Yeah it's bad they don't have a store here in NY :( TD.com says the G-tab is only available in stores
[G Tablet General] danny_extremex:
Good for you if they're not noticeable. But you can always exchange it for another!

I'd recommend you try JScreenFix and alternate that with some of those rapid color changing videos you find on youtube. Good luck! Hope it works for you :)
[G Tablet General] davidukfl:
yeh I'm running jscreenfix right now. I'm not sure how long to run it for before giving up.

If anything I may just make a nandroid backup, exchange this one for a new one at office depot, then restore the backup. We'll see. Now that I'm using the tablet more I'm starting to notice the pixels more. lol
[G Tablet General] Vendemiaire:
It seems that folks using jscreenfix for stuck pixels have had to run it for a wide range of times. Some report only 10 minutes, while others have had to leave it running overnight for a few days.

But, it's a cheap fix to a very annoying issue.
[G Tablet General] wskks806:
sears

Officedepot on web 299.00 I got sears to price match office and then got another 10 off 289.00 out the door.
[G Tablet General] Skyyblue:
Keep an eye on woot.com Many users did get their gtabs from woot. I got mine about a week ago when a week before that woot was having a wootoff and sold it for $279. + $5 shipping.

It had been up twice so keep an eye it make come around a third time.
[G Tablet General] davidukfl:
i flashed my gtab back to stock last night and exchanged it today for a new one. No more dead pixels :D
[G Tablet General] FireWingWS6:
So I hadn't had mine for exactly 24 hours and already it had 3 dead pixels. I was extremely bummed about this. I had JUST started downloading all of the Rooting stuff. I go to turn it on and boom, they were there. I had just got home from work and not even 1 hour before, the screen was perfect. Thank god I waited at least a day of full use to make sure there weren't any defects!

For the time I had it, I loved it. Even though the stock OS was just absolute trash, I still had fun with it. Great product for the price I got it for.

So doing a return via Amazon and will be waiting for the Transformer. I prefer ASUS Build quality anyways.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
I love my Transformer, but the build quality appears to be all over the place with this initial batch. Hopefully the next batch with have better QC.
[G Tablet General] JustMeToo:
Woot has the tab for $280 again, if you're still in the market.

Hey, does anyone here know why the app mvideoplayer isn't working correctly with jt1134's Cyanogen 6.2 Beta port? Like I can't play a whole bunch of videos (mkvs, avis, etc.) I just want to know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just something that isn't supported in the port just now. It works fine in Superclean 2.9.2, but that mod drains my battery life:( TIA!

Edit: Never mind, I just got the free moboplayer from the app store to play videos now (seems to work). Have to use the software decoding option though.
[Droid Incredible General] TokedUp:
Anyone try this app on the Inc? It does make the SD card read/write much faster. I was wondering if it was bad for the phone or the card to do this. Seems ok so far and the app was free.
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
Yes, I've tried it on my Inc. I'm running CM7 with Chad's incredikernel and the app didn't make any difference for me, regardless of what I set it to. I also tried manually adjusting the read_ahead files, in the off-chance that the app itself just wasn't working. I still haven't been able to achieve any performance increase.

According to Chad, however, my lack of a result is normal given my setup:

From what I've read, the effectiveness of this method also depends on the card you're using.
[Droid Incredible General] 06stang:
Works great for me on Redemption Rom. No waiting to load thumbnails and phone feels a bit smoother

[Droid Incredible General] TokedUp:
Yeah, been using it for a few days now and its a lot better. I would recommend this app to anyone with a larger SD card especially if you have a lot of stuff on it. its FREE!
[Atrix 4G General] rsjyns:
I looked everywhere for this problem didn't find a topic so here it goes.

I LOVE this phone however I'm having a problem; text input disappearing or not showing up at all when trying to enter information. When this happens calls don't go out and I can't do anything network related. I've tried to type things into to other places as well to no avail. The only hope is resetting it everytime, and it can remain working correctly for 5 min or 5 hours, until it freezes again. I'm stock with the latest update, also running widgetlocker and launcher pro with various other minor apps. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix? thanks
[Atrix 4G General] rsjyns:
Still happening, I guess no one else has this issue?
[Atrix 4G General] Djordjije:
I second you. I have the problem as well when text disappears suddenly as im inputting, and I can't see what I type, until I click send. This happens especially while I am on the Skype app. The only way to get it to work is to leave the conversation and step back into it.

Are you having the issue all over or certain programs?
[Atrix 4G General] rsjyns:
All over. Can't send a text or call out. Other programs work just fine, but anything that needs inputted text doesn't work
[Android Themes] wrapkgb:
So I have a bit of a request due to my lack of patients/skills/knowledge with photoshop... Would anyone be interested in making a CM6 throwback theme for the theme chooser? I have tried and tried and have finally given up lol. I guess theme'ing is not my thing. Any ways I loved the look of the CM6 status bar and notification drop down and thought it would make a sweet theme... I hope its not just me that thinks its a good idea!

I see a few apps in the market for scanning for wireless networks, etc. But I don't see any that show that they have the ability to list out nearby wireless clients as well.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endrus:
Today I received a replacement digitizer from China for my broken HTC Desire and I replaced the screen.

However it did fit perfect, I have a problem with the touch screen. Only the top right part of the screen is sensitive and the rest is irresponsible.

All the other functions of my phone is OK or at least seem to be OK.

I dismantled the device again and double checked the connections and I realized some difference between the electronics of the touch screens such as:

Original: Synaptics 940-663-1R1

Replacement: Synaptics 940-682-1R2

Has anyone have a similar experience or know a cure for that?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phr057:
Hey everyone.

I just wanted to start this off first with a hello and I'm glad to be part of this community! There are some great posts and tutorials here!

Let me preface by saying that I am be no means a green horn to technology, but I am a complete newbie to modding my tablet and may need some assistance:

I recently purchased (read about 2.5 weeks ago) a GTab off of Woot and instantly wanted root and install a custom ROM. I took all the precautionary steps and read a number of articles before setting on Cyanogenmod 7 (w/G Apps).

I followed the tutorial in this post to a "T":

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

Everything went smoothly until the reboot process to do a first time run on the new ROM. I got stuck at the birds... :( . I had run a NANDroid back-up from ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 to the external SD card prior to flashing the ROM and went back to restore it and try again. Unfortunately, I must have run the back-up to the Internal memory as the back-up was completely gone from going through the SD Partition process. So now I am sitting here with a semi-bricked GTab.

I went through all of the steps again just to see if I skipped a step or something, I did not. I still received the same result. When connecting the Tablet to my PC there is literally no other files or directories, only the ROM folder that I had to put the builds in.

I have tried to going through all of the steps with another ROM (Vegan) and I was met with the same results. From there I moved on over to NVFlash to try to rebuild the original software. Again, I read and re-read all the instructions to do this but I can't seem to even get this to work. I keep receiving this error when I try and use the BAT file:

I have the APX USB driver installed and I don't see any devices with an exclamation point. One thing I have noticed is that each set of directions is telling me to boot to APX mode. When I follow those instructions, I still get shot to CWM; I do not get a black screen like each article says.

I'm at a loss on where I should go from here. I'm afraid I now just have an expensive glowing piece of hardware capable of showing three birds and that is it. I also read through the article(s) about the locked bootloader, but this confused the hell out of me. I have no clue how to check what kernel I have or if this could be the reason why my GTab is screwed.

Any suggestions or articles I may have missed in the forums that I can be pointed too? I think I have hit all of them with the forum search though.

Please let me know if I need to provide anymore information.

Regards,

-Chris
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumdumdude:
When you try and boot into APX mode are you holding Vol+ and Power? That combination boots into recovery mode which will send you to CWM.

In case you have overlooked it (doubtful from what you say) try using Vol- and Power to boot into APX mode.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qynt:
I'm still a novice too, but it seems you may have the wrong USB drivers. I could not get Win 7 to recognize my G-Tab. Check http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1030042 in his post he has a link (uk) for drivers which worked for me.

There's a great bunch of people on this forum so I'm sure one of the "Pros" will have an answer for you.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pqrs:
i guess ive been lucky because everything always works when i try on my gtab...

but what id do if i were you is download a rom, put it on the external sd card, insert said card, hold down vol + and power and install the rom!

i assume youve tried that? i dont use my pc at all generally, i just download to the tablet. but its easy to put a rom on the sd card from your pc if you have a card reader...

sorry if im of no help... but thats what always works for me!:D
