[T-Mobile LG G2x] ScooterG:
The one thing that sticks in the back of my mind about the NS is the NFC capability.

I played with the G2X in a T-Mobile store and I really like the device. I ran a speedtest on both phones and my NS came out on top by an average of .5 Mbps. So much for 4G???

I do like the screen on the G2X. It's one of the best out there. But I also like the SAMOLED on the NS. This part was a toss up for me.

Quadrant...well, they both finished at about the same time, but I don't take Quadrant seriously on the NS... *shrug*

Feel of the phone goes to the G2X. It's not as slippery and has a nice heft to it.

Look goes to the NS. Hands down.

Camera/Video Recording...meh...could care less

GPS: Nod to G2X...Samsung just can't seem to get this right.

Dual Core: This reminds me of when dual core came out for PCs. They were really cool...but nothing took advantage of it. We'll see here, but from using and opening/closing apps on both phones, this is a toss up for me. (I'm running a modaco/paulobrien ROM)

So, the one thing that is keeping me with the NS is the hope of some killer NFC capability in the near future. If it weren't for that, the phone whore in me would have been fondling a new G2X early this morning.

I was poking fun at you bud. Check the latest post where I actually *gasp* praise the G2X. ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
well i can understand alot of your points... and im not pointing fingers at you saying your the one trolling about your nexus s

i came from a vibrant... then a galasy s 4g to the g2x...(so i understand the whole amoled/lcd screen thing) maybe its just me but there are alot of nit pickers out there, and if i were to compare any of my phones together all would have strengths and weaknesses so for now ill keep my mouth shut but i just feel the G2x has been out little under a week and people are saying how they wish it did this and that... (develop your own phone if you dont like what you bought or ****ing sell it already)

it gets old fast.... thats all

i tried this one and got an error on line 7

i also tried several froyo roms and it always hangs at the splash screen after it successfully installs.

to be clear ive wiped data and cache everytime lol.

what could i be doing wrong?

Spl? And not sure what radio im on my phone has not haf service in over a year. How do i check that?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Power down your phone and then press

Back + power on

You will get to the hboot screen now, where the spl and radio informations are printed on top of the screen.

serial0

i cant find the spl
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
Are you rooted?

You have hboot 0.95.0000 -> that's the standard SPL. With this you will not have any chances to run a Gingerbread-ROM. If you want to install a Gingerbread-ROM, I suggest to first install the 2708/1.33.0013d combo (a link can be found in my signature), which gives you in addition 14MB of ram.

But first read everything carefully before starting to flash some zips ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmtdan:
thanks for the help! and yes i am rooted lol. i used the universal androot method to do so.

Im gonna follow your links and see what happens ill update afterwards :)

just wanted to let you know i finally got around to doing this and it worked great thanks for your help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] translux:
Would like to know if it's possible to reinstall the sprint wifi hotspot app after upgrading to CM7.

I know there is one that it's built in but work pays for the hotspot and I'd like to test and see what the differences are.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
If I'm not mistaken the sprint hot spot app only works with sense man not cm7. Try wifi tether from the market.

~ d3rk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Tis correct, but on the other hand, wireless tether won't work on CM7, and if you do use it, you'll have to reboot to get wifi working. He'd have to use barnacle tether, which doesn't tether 4G. If you need to 4G tether, you'd have to flash over to sense to use, or use the native teher or barnacle if on CM7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Ahhh. Got it! No wonder wireless tether never worked(only tried it 3 times). Thanks for your vote back in that other thread, I'd give you a vote as well man. You'd have more of a shot than I would.

~ d3rk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Yea, I tried it several times and that was the final break down conclusion; so semi hassle, it is what it is though. And thanks, but you'd have a better shot from being around longer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
What's the deal with it? I've seen this asked multiple times. Is it the wireless tether app that's not working or is it the actual rom/kernels?

~ d3rk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
The wireless tether app works, just not on gingerbread. So it'll work on sense roms. And you need a netfiler enabled kernel as well. But on sense, you can use it just fine, on CM7, ect, it hangs on the starting tether, back out, then it starts with errors, then you have to reboot to get your wifi working.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] translux:
Hum I'm connected with the CM7 tethering app on 4g as I type this now.

It's works perfectly for me.

I wonder if it's due to the fact that I pay for the hotspot service?

I also did the gps And vvm fix.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
What I think is going on is, it says you're connected to "4G" but when you run a speed test it doesn't get 4G speeds that it would on your actual phone. Its been a debate for a while now. That's what people mean when they say 4G tethering doesn't work. You should speed test 4G while tethered, the test it on phone only.

~ d3rk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
That's correct, you can be on 4G, but it'll only tether 3G speeds.

I've tested it myself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] translux:
Speed test using same app and same pop EVO is the hotspot IPad is client

EVO 3.80 Mbps down 1.18 Mbps up

iPad 4.0-2.8 Mbps down 1.00 Mbps up

Also no issue with using wifi after tethering.
[Thunderbolt General] HawkStream:
I just got a TB... Why would the put the USB port on the side so you can’t use the kickstand?? This makes no sense to me. If you are using your kickstand you are -

a. probably using it on a desktop, counter, etc. where you are going to be able to plug it in....

and

b. watching videos like movies that are going to drain the battery quickly!!

Why the H would they not put it on the other side so you could have the USB plugged in and the kick stand out at the same time? It makes the kickstand practically useless. Plus if you are watching movies with the kick stand closed it covers the speaker and muffles the sound.... wow not a good design.
[Thunderbolt General] squeeze:
My kickstand locks in place pretty good which allows me to use it with the USB facing up.
[Thunderbolt General] HawkStream:
That works if you don’t have a case. But I have a rubber type black case and that adds enough weight that the kickstand won’t stay open.

The question remains? How could they have missed that in the design?
[Thunderbolt General] infamous702:
It was no design flaw my friend...HTC clearly wants you to buy their docking station
[Thunderbolt General] IISiDeK1CKII:
QFT.

Why the hell else would they do it? Kind of silly to even put the kickstand there at all though. I'd rather not have it (and it be in the way of my speakerphone muffling the damn thing) then have it and not be able to use it while not charging.
[Thunderbolt General] Robertus:
The kickstand works that way, flush against a table in upside-down mode, as long as you have a charging cable plugged in. It adds just enough extra support to help out the kickstand.

Have you tried it with the charging cable plugged in? Works for me. I don't have a case, but I do have a heavy 2750 mAh battery and it still works this way. Would be better still if HTC had used a stiffer spring. I'm also going to get a down-angle microUSB cable so it looks a little nicer without the cable sticking straight up.
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
You can do what we did with the Dinc: get a business card holder and dremmel a spot for the USB cable to come through. Only costs like $3-5.
[Thunderbolt General] zx12dak:
Yea, I thought the same thing but with it on the side you can stand it up and use it for an alarm clock plugged in.
[Thunderbolt General] jamesfrom818:
Simple. They thought charging in the portrait orientation was more important than the landscape orientation.
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
This is just silly. There is nothing wrong with the design. The kickstand is there for portable use with battery. When charging, it's expected that the user will use a charging/multimedia/car base, where the holder provides the charging connection.
[Thunderbolt General] HawkStream:
Yeah because everyone has one of those... :rollseyes:

And like I need one more thing to carry back and forth to work every day... Oh wait... let me guess... I should buy 2 charging stand so I can leave one at work??!??! That does sound better than just putting the kick stand on the proper f’ing side!!!
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
That's your choice. Maybe if your eyes weren't rolling up in their sockets, you could find one. Maybe if you were doing work at work, instead of watching videos on your phone, you could afford one.
[Thunderbolt General] pcm2a:
One of my favorite things I do in meetings is pop that kickstand out and stand it upright. All the Evo jokers bust out their Evo, try it....and it falls over.

I also like that I can stand it upright and charge it at the same time.
[Thunderbolt General] Blacksheep427:
Just admit it folks. Even HTC makes design flaws and errors of judgement. 1400 mA battery...?
[Thunderbolt General] dacre:
I agree, I thought (and still think) the USB port placement and orientation of the kickstand is a major apparent oversight... it was one of the first things I noticed when I got the phone. I thought, "Whoa, that can't be right!" I thought I had opened the kickstand wrong or something, hahahaha.

However, not saying it's not a flaw, I think it's definitely a flaw, it does work when plugged in upside-down. Even with the extended battery on, mine still holds up upside-down.

Still though, REALLY? I can't believe they didn't think of that...

And nobody has a desk dock! (Except for the person who will surely post right after me who does have one and feels it necessary to chime in. :P)
[Thunderbolt General] andybolt:
Definately a poor choice for usb port placement... upside down is not the solution, and upright messes up the widangle for porn!
[Thunderbolt General] kierandill:
And correct me if I am wrong, but the HTC dock doesn't accommodate the extended batter, either. Right? Or should I buy a dremel tool the same day?
[Thunderbolt General] JasjarMan:
so you can buy the extended battery. End of story, move on, you can't do anything about it so why talk about it.
[Thunderbolt General] kendive:
Be happy it has a kickstand at all... Never had them on any other phone.

I only use mine for charging in nightstand mode setting vertical.

Don't need to watch movies on my phone that is what a laptop or TV is for.
[Thunderbolt General] Blacksheep427:
Makes sense to me. No pun intended. I don't need video capabilities nor do I use it that way. I also do not normally combine charging and using the kickstand.

kendive, I sent you a +1 for making the most logical post on this so far, IMO.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kflanegan:
Hey Everybody,

*Posted this up in the LG forum for the Optimus 2x. Wondering what thoughts you all may have as well.Thanks!

Well I've had my Nexus S since March 23 and I've really enjoyed trying out various roms and tinkering around with the Android OS. (I came from an iPhone 4 on at&t.) Now I feel like I'm at a crossroad trying to decide what phone to stick with for the next year or so. I have till the 23 to return the nexus to best buy. I bought unlocked and if I do decide to switch I'll do the same with the G2x. How many of you are coming from the nexus s on this forum and what made you want to switch the most? I'm primarily concerned with the battery life on the G2x and updates either from LG or modders. The things I don't like about the nexus s are 3G data speeds (2.5-3 down and 1-1.5 up in my area, Birmingham, AL) and 1 day to day in a half battery life. What would you guys or girls do in a similar situation? Can anyone comment on the "4G" data speeds in this area of the country or in general on T-Mobile? I've read various reports of speeds from 5-9 Mbps down and your average up. I also hope the 4G won't kill battery and we'll have a killswitch when not in use. I'm sure most have seen the mobileburn video, she seemed to put down the nexus s screen in favor of the G2x. I find that hard to believe seeing how awesome the samoled screen looks and how black the blacks are. Anyone who's seen the G2x in store that can confirm the findings she had? Thanks for any help anyone can offer up!

Currently running CM7, 1.2 Ghz, NSCollab 1.0.18
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:
Lg, you won't have to beta test android, and you will get more features out of the box most likely.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
the nexus s will always get first hand on new version of the update, i chose the nexus s because it contains no junk.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mysterioustko:
I think you can make an argument for both phones either way. The differences I really see in the phones is that the LG has 4g, a dual core processor, hdmi out, and records 1080p...whereas the nexus S has NFC, gingerbread, sip calling (feature of gingerbread).

I don't see the G2X having 4g that big of a deal to me considering that I regularly get 3-6 megs download speed on my Nexus S. I compared it with a friends Galaxy S on 4g and we pretty much always got around the same speeds ( so I don't really see the 4g speed being a big difference maker...it just sounds good).

The G2X has a dual core processor...well I don't have any speed problems with the Nexus S at all. The phone runs perfectly fine and doesn't slow down, so yeah dual core sounds good but at the present time I don't think it is really going to be truly taken advantage of and is thus overkill.

For me, I had hdmi out on my evo and never once used it, so that is a moot point for me.

1080p recording in my opinion is another one of those things that just sounds good to have. In reality it really isn't any more useful than standard def recording. On my EVO and my Nexus one I could record in 720p and all that really resulted in was much larger video files. I'm not sure I even saw a noticeable difference in video clarity than in standard def.

Eventually the G2X will get gingerbread I'm sure, but in the meantime I would miss having SIP calling as I do use it. As for the Nexus S having NFC, that's another one of those things that sounds good, but until it is actually put to use in the real world it isn't very useful.

All in all I don't see enough difference in the G2X to warrant me taking back my Nexus S (I'm still in my return policy) and paying more for the G2X. I just don't see what I'd be paying more for.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matridom:
I don't get caught up in the speed war. 3g or 4g, for 99% of what I do, I don't think I would see a difference, both are fast. Tethering might be impacted, but it's something I rarely do.

Hardware wise, both phones are blazing fast. So in the end, it comes down to software, pure google or lg's framework and update schedule

I other the google experience, unpolluted by anyone.

I'm still on the fence. No 4G in my area. My Nexus is plenty fast. I'll have to play with one.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeze[iT]:
For me the g2x would be less then the nexus s. 529 vs 499. I figure if im paying roughly the same price why not get something more technologically advanced right?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
in terms of hardware.. yes, in terms of software... no

and hardware isn't that far off, you're losing Super AMOLED
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
You could always return the Nexus S. Get the G2X. Then decide. If you liked the NS better, you can return the G2X and go buy the NS again or keep the G2X. Whatever you decided to go with.

I looked into the Nexus One forum once and they were calling the G2X the TRUE NEXUS 2 PHONE. Yeah, I was like O.o? They really need to get their minds out of the gutter. I saw an unboxing video and the G2X still had some T-Mobile apps in there like the App Pack, Telenav, and some other ones. So it's not even a "true Google experience phone" per say.

You could also wait for the HTC Sensation. Now, that is the phone that I would be willing to give up the NS for, but I wouldn't since I like the NS and will be keeping it until another Nexus phone comes out.

I suggest trying both since you have that option and decide for yourself. You're money, you make the call.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Agreed its preloaded with N.O.V.A. too. But I give props for making "stocklike" ROMs as their stock.

And it won't necessarily mean it'll have top of the line updates either.

Look at the G2, WOOOOOH its stock! where's gingerbread? Yeah. thats right. (Not counting CM7)

IMO: Galaxy S II > HTC Sensation > LG G2x

I personally dont like G2x's bottom. It has WAY too much room.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brrip:
Let me start by saying that I really love my nexus s, it's fast, and with cyanogenmod the battery life is awesome. The screen is great, but coming from an AMOLED phone before this, I don't get the hype.

That said, if I were to make a decision about a phone now, I'd go for the LG. With the tegra 2 chip, the phone is plenty future proof. Nvidia seems pretty serious about taking the phone market with apps specifically for the tegra 2 chip. I know there's no point in playing the ghz game, it's endless, but if you can do it for free (nearly) then I don't see why you shouldn't go through with the swap. ;)

Part of the reason I bought my nexus s was stock android, but cyanogenmod offers battery life and all the awesomeness of stock.

i think if it was totally safe motorola would have been the one to do it and brag that they have the fastest tablet in the market with a 1.5 - 2.0 Ghz Processor. if you want you device to last, leave it with the stock speed, this thing is pretty fast as is, and if you do have to overclock i think the max would be what others have said 1.5. there is no other benefit, and i doubt you will notice any difference. other then your battery lasting 2 hours and your web pages loading a second faster (not important), and maybe apps opening a little faster(won't notice) and then your device getting hot as other have said, which can bcome an issue with other things on the the motherboard becoming hot. and in the next few months you'll end up with a Motorola DOOM
