seriously..... WOW.. I'm not freaking out or anything. but I paid $500 for a device that has an issue. and I know LCD'd do, I have TV's and computer monitors with this issue and it is minor.

but I've used the Droid, the Nexus One, the G2, the Droid X, the Vibrant, and the Droid X, and the EVO and NONE.. NONE had anything even close to this.

maybe 10% of it at most, but nothing as bad as my picture... I understand a little bit of bleed, and will be ok with that, but mine is enough for a replacement IMO. oh and many are saying they have the phone with NO leakage. so as much as we shouldn't be too unhappy, if some don't have the issue, why should I have to have it!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icy56:
Honestly I'd rather have a screen that bleeds a little and looks great rather than an amoled screen that RAPES your battery. Just saying
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Maybe yours needs replacement. But in general, all your past phones weren't perfect either, no phone is perfect. The Droid had limited memory, the Nexus One had a wonky touch screen, the G2 had the hanging hinges, the Droid X had motoblur, etc etc. People will always find some flaw to complain about.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TimTim12:
I would agree with you if there were N1s without wonky touch screens, G2s with decent hinges (perhaps there were a few), Droid Xs without motoblur, etc. To me, it's the idea that there are G2xs without the bleeding (and ones not as bad), and I also happened to get a G2x with heavier bleeding than I'd like. Judging by the amount of people who don't have problems, and considering that this is a forum that attracts people who are peculiar about their phones, I'm fairly sure that my replacement won't be anywhere near as bad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericc191:
These kinds of threads are common whenever a new phone is released. I think the worst one ever was the G2 and hingegate. However, it's still helpful to get an idea of how widespread certain issues are. Do we need 20 threads about the same thing? No, of course not. But to complain about people saying there's something wrong, in their opinion, with their phone is just stupid.

Ive had alot of,problems with them...they offered a free,phone of my choice.... Not because my contract was up....

[T-Mobile LG G2x] karnovaran:
I suspect the amount of bleeding is roughly the same across all G2xs, but some people are just less sensitive to it. In fact, I had never even known what LCD bleeding is (and I've owned 5 Android phones the last two years) until this G2x drama began. I decided to inspect my devices and sure enough my Nook Color has some bleeding at the bottom. I never noticed it before, but I bet many of the disappointed G2x'ers would have. Some of us just aren't sensitive to it. Kinda reminds me of the 'dust under the screen' paranoia with the N1.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zaventh:
ROFL. It's hard being first... =/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
what the hell guys. now you all gave this perfectionist something to look for. :D

i used adw to hide the staus bar and set my background to solid black. it does show for me in the top right corner moreso than anywhere. on my default home screen, i have the weather clock from beautiful widgets running. i have to really strain to see it. if i slide over to a screen with nothing but black background, it's clearly visible. but only if i put the phone in a dark spot, like under my desk. it's still visible though. but not like it's blinding. even with 2.3 and a black status bar, the icons would hide it,on my phone at least. am i going to return it? no. but if i heard tmo considered this an issue and lg had phones with no bleeding and were willing to replace them? then i might. this phone might get sold in a year if the merger goes through because no way am i going to att. so for me, i can live with it. i did notice it in my camera app before this thread was started. but didn't think it was that big a deal. it's not like it shows while playing videos. and i haven't noticed any problems with pictures taken.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I agree all LCD's have some bleeding, my old G2x had it bad like posted in the other screen thread. I noticed mine immediately after turning it on, on the initial setup screen, on darker background, while playing games, and watching a test movie.

Coming from a N1 with absolutely no bleeding, I chaulked it up as normal for LCD's. After reading some didn't have it, I went to the store and looked at the display model and bought another one.

Comparing the two is night and day. So all I can say is return it if they won't swap it out. The original was purchased online and the second one was tested at a store with a 14 day return policy attached. Getting a refund on the first one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ko0l:
Yes large lcd monitors and lcd tvs have screen bleed largely due to the tech, but its piss poor for a small 4" lcd display to have screen bleed as well.

You don't see screen bleed on any other lcd phones such as htc desire hd, xperia and the iphone. Do a search on this forum and the only phone that have screen bleed problems is this phone.

This is NOT a common issue on tiny lcd screens.

People saying this is common and should just accept it is just making lame excuses up for lg.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cashyftw:
I understand both sides of the story here

Your side: Yes I understand this is super annoying, and it's a KNOWN issue so why didn't someone make 1 Thread about it, and just comment in the thread.

Everyone else side: Okay I would understand the bleeding screen if it were lets say 2008 or so, but it's 2010 and were really having problems with the screen? Seriously? It's not like they didn't know, they merely didn't care I'm guessing.. Another thing that makes me wonder, is why if they are making (they being lg) iPhone retina screens, couldn't they bump up the display a little?

Ps: Idk, not starting anything, just explaining my point of view :D

I've been learning PHP for 6 months now, know Linux but don't know Java, and love my Wildfire/Android OS. So I think this is a great idea! Only thing is I don't NEED to learn PHP. Just want to. So perhaps for maximum fun with my Wildfire I should probably pick up a Java book hey? :)

i.e. is something like PHP on Android worth pursuing?
[HTC EVO 3D] jgutz20:
Alright, so with what i've seen so far.... the Evo3d only has a microSD slot and does not come with the card like the Evo4g had? Or will it be coming with one of these cards? the Sprint site simply mentions the slot. Kind of disappointing, and hopefully they will ship with 16gb if they ship with a card at all.

Also, one "missing" feature was the kick stand.. i basically never used it, although when not sleeping in my room i use the "nightclock" app and kickstand it up to use as an alarm clock, works great! i would rather have that space used for extra battery or llighter overall weight

I just upgraded from a Nexus One to the G2x, and I have a few dumb questions about the transition.

1. I've had the phone on for a couple of hours now. I don't think any of my Market applications have installed, although most/all (haven't checked in detail) of my paid applications are listed in Market as "purchased." Should I be concerned? Will they auto-install, and if so, how long is that likely to take? Any way to speed it up?

2. Is there any way to port over my SMS history from the Nexus One?

3. Is there any way to make wifi-calling "sticky?" It doesn't seem to turn on automatically when I power-cycle the phone, and I didn't find a setting that would make it auto-start.

4. This one is just curiosity, but I noticed that when I power on the phone, immediately after it registers on the network, the provider is listed as "T-Mobile," but after a few seconds it changes to "T - Mobile" with spaces around the "-". Does that mean anything?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smitty24:
I use an app called SMS Backup and Restore. From the n1, i did a backup, then copied the XML file it created to my new SD card. Went into the program and changed the folder path (since the internal memory has its own SD card) then added /_ExternalSD/ to path and restored the XML to keep all my texts from my N1

Also, your purchased apps are linked to your Google account. they wont auto download, but they should be listed in the market for reinstall.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
Thanks for the tip! I'll pick that up and give it a try.

But I have to individually download all the free apps? Oh, well, I know what I'll be doing with my [previously] free time tonight... :p

Thanks again for the help.

I am coming from a Mytouch Slide to the G2x. The MT3GS definitely needed a screen protector. I hear that the G2x has gorilla glass and doesn't need a screen protector but I saw in the T-Mo store they were selling them. Should I get one? Is it needed on the G2x? Thanks in advance!

The anti-smudge screen protectors sold by t-mo are terrible. It actually looks like theres oil on the screen from the protector. It looks like tiny little specks of color all over the screen. I hate it and just want to tear it off lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kampf:
Good point on the Gorilla Glass. It's shatter-resistant but not so much with scratches. I got one installed because it was close to being free.

This protector is also really good at being oleophobic (fingerprint resistant).

I would just protect it because it can still get scratched/dented. You should get the 'XtremeGuard' protector. Its like a zagg invisible shield without the orange peel effect. Plus, its only 4.75 for a fully body :). In addition to that, I have a TPU case. Oh yeah, I have OCD for keeping my tech stuff protected.

[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
So I'll be coming from a S***sung Craptivate after it killed its own memory, resulting in not having enough room to load a back-up or a fresh ROM after a full wipe. (Phone is actually in two pieces, divided straight across the center) I had the phone flashed with a rooted deodexed and lagfixed ROM (Paragon RC6) and undervolted and stock clock speed (1ghz). I also had a different launcher, text based icons, widgetlocker, basically nothing was "stock" about it, but that was out of need, to fix the shutdown problem, the crappy GPS, the crappy sound, the crappy speed, the crappy lag.. etc etc..

I will be buying a Desire when it is back in stock locally, hopefully with tomorrow's shipment. But I have a few questions...

How much different is everything about modding this phone? I've read the guides and the stickies, and liking the Ingersol ROM (with just a battery notification mod, would like it to be white and turn red below 15% instead of the crazy colors it does.)

I only have 3 questions really... but one or more may become more. Please bare with me.

1. It looks like to root I'd have to DOWNGRADE.. what does this downgrade affect, or is an up-to-date version flashed after the root?

2. Can anybody tell me what HTC Sense is all about? Is it the launcher? It seems like a combination of apps already out there but from HTC (Flip to silence for example). What do I lose by going with a non-sense ROM? Also I take it using Desire based ROMs don't use Sense? But why would people want to use a ROM based off a different phone altogether?

3. Gingerbread ROMs (CM7 and the like) were buggier than all hell on the Captivate. Sure it looked good (but that's theming) and was supposed to be fast, but all over the Craptivate develpment forums was posts about widgets/apps not working, not refreshing, or force closing constantly with 2.3.3. A lot of the phones functionality was lost too, like the ability to take pictures, or use it for social networking (Facebook not working..). How do the 2.3.3 ROMs take to the Inspire?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced!
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
You need to downgrade to get unknown sources back. HTC sense is basically a theme that designed for there phone if I'm not mistaking. The gingerbread themes here are very smooth and good. You will encounter bugs but that will always be fix from the developers
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
It only enables the exploit to get S-OFF (think recovery 2e from the Captivate, vs 3e which required signed update.zip's). Once done, you don't have to worry about it again. There are plenty of stock based ROM's like TPC or dilligaf for you to choose from if you so desire.

Sense is more than the launcher, it is a complete rework of the Android framework, like TouchWiz, but nowhere near as craptacular. It is actually useful. Any HTC sourced ROM will originally have Sense in it, but some HTC ROM's that say "no-sense" have a good chunk of that removed and are more like AOSP Android, but not quite all the way. Then there are other ROM's like CyanogenMod, which are based on actual Google AOSP code and have NO HTC software in them. It really is your choice which to use. I tend to flip between them. My personal favorites are CM7 and RCMixHD 5.9.4. I would flash them both to see what your preference is.

They work perfectly, with only the minorest of troubles that tend to be app specific, like the Gmail word wrap issue(which is not even a big deal at all). I haven't used a Froyo ROM in weeks.

And finally, welcome from another former Craptivate user! You will be MUCH happier with this phone.

:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
Thanks!

In terms of stability, "snappiness" (at 1ghz clock speed), and resource consumption/management, is there a noticeable difference between Sense based, and AOSP based ROMs?

I'm also looking for decent battery life. I understand that screen on time and brightness, along with reception are the biggest consumers, but do one of the above based ROMs seem to do a better job of managing power consumption?

I am pretty weary of flashing a GB ROM just because of the numerous compatibility issues that I witnessed on the craptivate forum..

On the RCmix ROM, does it come overclocked by default? It says to use SetCPU to adjust it, so I'm assuming it runs at 1.0 ghz right off the flash? That ROM along with the theme with the white notification bar icons seems to be what I'll be flashing first. Thanks for the helpful information thus far!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tjb433:
The only thing about sense that really eats battery is the constant data usage of the HTC sense account, if you don't set up an account, your battery life should be rather good. As far as the gb roms they are all working very well, and you will find a small bug here and there, but all the major roms are very good daily drivers.

Most of the roms here have numorous tweaks for stability and snappiness, and you would probably be pleased with any of the major ones. I would say there is more difference between stock sense and tweaked sense than tweaked sense and no sense as far as performance goes. I ran stock for all of a few hours when I got this phone, and have been on a few roms with and without sense, and all of them have been very snappy and smooth.

Any of the major roms that support clock speed adjustments will use setcpu to adjust it, you can run at basically any speed setcpu lets you(within reason, and check the rom post for exceptions and recomendations) I currently run at a maximum of 1.5ghz on miui and my battery life is just as good as it was running 1.2ghz on android revolution.

And last but not least, don't be afraid of gingerbread here, most major bugs have been worked out and 90% of the problems posted about are due to the installer, not the rom.

Welcome aboard!
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Just an add on note:

Gingerbread sense ROMs do not have overclocking right now. But really they are so butter smooth especially when compared to a captivate. RCMix5.9.3 has no compatibility issues I have found.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Is there any gingerbread non sense Rom ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
MIUI and CM7 pop to mind. Those are AOSP sourced.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Those are gingerbread? I thought they werent.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Yes they are. 2.3.3.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pside15:
Yep they are GB. There is also Ultimate Droid, which I am using now. This is the best ROM I have used so far, but all of them have been rock solid as far as performance goes. I don't think you will find a bad ROM on here. You will recognize some of the devs from the captivate forums.

As for my battery life. I have been unplugged for just over 15hrs and I am down to 21%. That is with 2 push email accounts, 3 hours streaming rhapsody, 2 hours mp3 music, 30 mins of calls, and about 1 hour of browsing/gaming. It also helps that I am on wifi for 90% of the day.

Have you tried Phoenix
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Xaviier my man u may post,but a lot of times your information is short with not much Info.lmao buddy cm7 is pure gingerbread and miui. And htc sense is they user interface...meaning its the over lay on top of android. Without the ui, it would be pure vanillia.sense pretty much makes the experience of using the layout of android a lot more customizable with exclusive sense Widgets,sync options,even that beautiful clock. Kinda like how ur cappy had the touchwiz interface,just a lot better.

[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
yeah its good. IM currently using the ultimate droid
[HTC Inspire 4G] GTIVRon:
Are there any benefits of going with the GB version of RCmix versus the Froyo version? Basically I don't feel comfortable flashing an OS not designed for the device so I'm leaning towards the Froyo based version of that ROM.

Thanks agian for all the help. Really looking forward to this phone. Using a S***sung Mythic for the time being, I can't even type on this phone...
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
It all depends what theme goes with you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pside15:
I've gotten better performance out of the GB ROMs I have used. I believe that ROM is based off the leaked GB for the Desire HD which is the same thing as the Inspire, so you shouldn't have any worries about it not being designed for this phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pside15:
Yea, the UD ROM is really good. I've been on it for the past week or so and it is running like a champ. Making it really hard to switch to something else.
