Wrong swction, general would be a better section.. google swype website and it gives you instructions there, nothing g2x specific....... did you try looking before posting this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] luckycook82:
Swype is pre-installed on the G2x, just hold down in the area you want to type untill a box comes up that gives you options, one of the options is to change input method. select that, then select swype. Please, read your owners manual
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stefan.buddle:
Yup it is....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] inpherno3:
owners manual? what in the world is that? xD
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stefan.buddle:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
cant open that

thats blasphemous next youll want me to ask for directions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Evofusion:
Yep I was bummed out about swype then I remembered about the input options lol d'oh
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Yup. Pre-installed.

I downloaded the Gingerbread Keyboard from the Market since I'm used to CM7.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] luckycook82:
I don't know what it is, I just saw it in the box. I'm a married man, you think I have time to read a user guide, it was more of a joke. But I'm glad you found your swype.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tbjason:
After installing a custom ROM my swype has been lost.

Anyone know how to add the swype keyboard back to custom ROMS?

Hahahah I'm sorry but you guys are funny Hahahah
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
Joining the swype beta is a good idea even if you're using a ROM with swype built in; beta is newer and is a lot better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Also, in the market there is a keyboard called T-Swipe Pro. It is a great swipe type keyboard and can do swipe in Thai and Japanese if you want also. It works great for English also. You can try it for free from the Android Market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] speedy00002:
I have swype pre installed on my phone. I was wondering how you update it on the G2X. I join and did everything it said but thought i read somewhere you can updated it if its been per installed. do anyone know if this is true or what?

Anyone having a problem with text messages after nodo? All my messages after nodo have started a new conversation. I updated my Phone with nodo before the ATT update, and then updated it again when ATT pushed(didn't rollback, it just prompted again).

yep, happened here as well. I did the same you did. I didn't think much of it. old messages are still present.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssewk2x:
Hi Everyone,

Since our wonderful Froyo roms came out, I've noticed that the bootup sound has vanished, and essentially been removed from the kernels. I've been trying to figure out a way to kludge it back in, but I haven't had any luck.

I looked at what the CM roms have done for this, and it appears that somehow they have a "stagefright" command line utility that lets them play mp3 files from shell scripts. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a similar utility that works on a touchwiz based rom (like Superclean or Blackhole). I even tried to "borrow" the binary from JT's CM6 beta, but no luck there - when run, it complained about not being able to link, which I suspect is because a bunch of libraries are different between the two roms.

So I'm asking if any of you developers might know how or be able to build a stagefright tool like the one that appears in CM6, but so that it will work on a TW based rom? If I could get ahold of that, I think I can make boot sounds work again.

Thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmlhodge:
Have you tried to odin the stock eb01 zimage? I know for a fact that supports it.

You can find the stock md5 file in adryns ec01 thread. And you can extract those files and use heimdall to flash only the zimage.

Not sure if it still supports it after flashing a different rom.. I'm away from my computer or ide try it. Also if you have voodoo enabled make sure to disable it before doing anything.

@Bin4ry nice work mate :D

Will you be looking for other ways to root the play that doesn't involve flashing with fastboot commands nor unlocking the bootloader. Just a simple app with one click to root the play. It's not that i don't know my way around flashing/modding, been doing this on my last three mobiles. I just don't wan't to mess with my play nor install any custom roms (getting it next week). I just wan't root to change small things and have more access :)

Well i hope you do look for other ways :D

[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
I've been doing this same process for about 2-3 years now, and thought I would share. Basically, I'll buy the latest and greatest phone for Tmobile, and almost after a year (usually sooner), I'll call customer service, tell them I'm not happy with the phone, or bored, or really like a new one coming out, etc, and ask them politely if there is anything they can do since I'm not eligible for an upgrade and still inside contract.

Every time I've done this, they have always said, sure, you've been with us for a long time now, and they just replace my existing contract with a brand new one, and give me the upgrade price. I'll end up selling my old phone for the price of the upgrade, so basically I get a new phone each year and don't have to spend one dime. Well, I just called and did the same thing, and they are going to sell me the LG G2X for 260 w/ tax, and I just sold my Vibrant on Craig's list for 260. Should get my new phone Thursday.

I've loved my Vibrant, and had no issues really with it, (minus some weird gps issues every once in a while), but I'm a gadget geek, so I always gotta have the latest and greatest. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone in the Vibrant community, (dev's too), as my Vibrant experience has been great. I'll miss that beautiful screen, but I think I won't even notice with the raw power of the GX2. Anyway, just thought I'd share my story, since I had no clue tmobile would even do this for you. I just called up randomly one day and asked to see what they would say. Tmobile has always done everything they can to keep me as a customer. :cool:
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
I thought this was known? They just add +2 years to your contract
[Vibrant General] JMillion:
Yea depending who u speak to. Some r willing. Some aren't.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
I've done this so much, I though I was the only whos done this lol
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
No, the difference is, they basically tear up your old contract, and replace it with a brand new one. ie... if you had say 1.5 years on your contract, and they let you upgrade, your 1.5 year contract would be gone, and you would have a 2 year contract only starting today. So, I should technically have a 3.5 year contract, but only have a 2 year contract.
[Vibrant General] samnada:
Please let us know how the GPS is on the G2X. I'm also seriously considering an upgrade, but I've been reading mixed reviews on the G2X GPS, so am waiting for more user reports. (Don't mean this in any way to detract from your decision. I really hope the G2X has a perfect GPS.)

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] Haxel:
I can understand the "stick it to the man" type attitude, but what a prickish way to go about and purposely do this.

Buy the phone outright if you want new phones all the time. You end up spending about the same in a years time frame. (At least with TMO).

AT&T... well they don't have a "non-contract" rate that's cheaper. I'd have a less irritated opinion then.
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
So does this work for someone with t-mobile for 6 or 8 months? I would guess not.
[Vibrant General] MTC44:
If tmobile is willing to do it, and the OP isn't deceiving them, why is it wrong?
[Vibrant General] David111jr:
thanks will try soon:D
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
I've never been deceptive with them. my gps has always wondered and taken a while to lock, even with the fix. I simply told them I wasn't happy with the gps, and wanted to upgrade. The time before that, I said I was tired if my phone. They said they wanted me to be happy and no problem.
[Vibrant General] david914:
I wonder if Sprint would allow this early upgrade if I say I'm not happy, that would be awesome :-)
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
Yeah, they have let me upgrade before only having a phone for 8 months. I actually got my vibrant last august. Again, I'm not telling people to do anything deceptive. Just call them up and see If they can do anything for you.
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
Will do. Should get my phone tomorrow.
[Vibrant General] Longcat14:
So, if I call them up and say

"I'm not satisfied with my phone, the problems with my phone (I have had 2 replacements so far, GPS problems everytime), and Samsung not supporting the phone, is there ANY way you guys can help me and give me an early upgrade?"

And if the rep is nice enough, he will allow an early upgrade?
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
Exactly. Be honest with them, and of course polite. They still make money off upgrades, so not like they are losing money. The worst they can day is no.
[Vibrant General] Longcat14:
Alright. Only problem is, I've had this phone for 2 months (got it during the "free" upgrade special), but I'm VERY unsatisfied with it honestly. I hope that doesn't impact anything.
[Vibrant General] tKoHaXoR:
I got this phone the same way. I am most likely going to upgrade once something better hits the market!
[Vibrant General] OmniNut:
My brother has had the phone now for a day and I've been tinkering with it since he's new to android. GPS works 100%, absolutely fantastic. Using GPS Test I got 12 satellites within 3 seconds and 12/12 locked and all the gps readings are litterally off the charts with 200+ readings. Accuracy is consistent @ 3-10 ft accuracy - mostly at 5ft accuracy. Hope this helps anyone that has doubts on the GPS on G2X because it is NOT a problem :).
[Vibrant General] intruda119:
Didnt know this was anything special. This is all cool if you dont plan changing companies because if you do leave with you new phones im pretty sure theres a etf. Why would any company care what phone you get, your still locked into a 2year agreement. After 1month-or a year, when you get another phone, your still locked into a 2year agreement. Im pretty sure Tmo and Sprint will do anything possible to satisfy there custumers.
[Vibrant General] vinterchaos:
i've been doing this for years now too, not anymore though i'm jumping ship!
[Vibrant General] nickdog670:
i would do I would do this, however my parents made my account off contract and dont understanding how paying 500 dollars for a phone is cheaper then paying 200 dollars on contract so I need to stick with my vibrant...
[Vibrant General] Longcat14:
Well, I'm going to try to get an early upgrade after school. I will still use mt Vibrant, just not as much.
[Vibrant General] dougstoner:
Just got my G2X, so if anyone is interested on impressions, gps, screen, etc, let me know and I'll either just post it here, or pm you.

[Vibrant General] eagles20015:
Does being on a family plan affect this in any way?
[Vibrant General] BlackHoleDroid:
I tried calling them several times and they just say "youre still on contract and already upgraded 9 months ago, so we can't do anything." What do I do??
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
You should stop calling back quite so often & give it another month or two.

From what I've seen, the TMO reps generally type in a quick blurb about their call with you in their system. If you wait another month & call them back still complaining that you're generally unsatisfied with the phone, it might show that you're sincere rather than just annoying or trying for a cheap upgrade for no reason (by calling them constantly).

I'd consider this except I'm off contract & want to see how this whole Tmo/AT&T merger plays out. I don't want to be in a contract if/when AT&T takes over since I want my options to be open (unless Tmo makes one hellava nice offer in which case AT&T would have to adhere to the conditions set by Tmo or cancel my contract for me).
[Vibrant General] Longcat14:
Yeah, I'll probably be trying this with the LG G2x.

I've only been in my contract about 3 months, but I hope they give me it, that is unless we get Gingerbread on our phones, then I'm fine for another year. xD

That's the exact problem I am having. Problem is, that file is not in my sd card!

How do I find out what rom I'm using? Its not in setting.. about phone.

I can you my phone is rooted using unrevoked, and I have never changed any rom or thing like that... its just been unrevoked (the latest one) and that's it... then I just install apps. So, the default rom?

And the difference between my problem and the one you posted is that All APPLICATIONS CANT BE installed, not just some... but it's the same error, exactly as it appears on that link above.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter1979:
What program are you using to view your SD card? As the article suggests, use Root Explorer to search for the file. You may not be able to see "hidden" files using other explorers. Root Explorer is the default ninja app. ;+)

As far as "what ROM," if you've only used unrevoked, yes, you're just on the stock "default" ROM, albeit a rooted stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snake411:
I was using esfile explorer and I did select the option to view hidden files but that didn't show me everything, apparently. I know this because I connected my phone to my pc, view the files from there and then I found this stupid file that causes this error.

I didn't have root explorer and obviously couldn't install it because of the issue in was having.

Thanks for the help everyone! Much appreciated.

I bought a Verizon 3G Xoom in the US and took it back home to Denmark. Now, the 3G doesn't work of cause, but on top of this some app (like Good Tech for Enterprise) won't run because they think I belong to the verizon network (that don't allow Good Tech).

So long story short. I don't need 3G and I would like to lose the verizon stigma. My xoom is already rooted. Can I run the Canadian wifi fireware on it?

The user successfully flashed Canadian firmware on a US WIFI version Xoom. If you read this thread:

the user accidentally flashed 3G firmware on a WIFI and it seems to me that it worked until he tried to unroot it again.

Why would you state that its not possible?

its a LCD SCREEN! chill out... yes some peoples are worse than others... let me ask all of you who are *****ing about it a question...

HAVE YOU EVER OWNED A "BRAND NEW" LCD TV?

i have a 3 month old 52in toshiba and guess what..... back light bleeding....

i am sorry you didnt read into the phone and understand its technology and bought it under the pretense it would be the PERFECT phone.... but get real!

want a fix to it?

TURN YOUR BRIGHTNESS OFF "AUTO" and put it about 1/4 of the way

still mad?

get a refund....... LG will not send you a new one thats any batter than your current.....

(called tmobile and they have a few complaints but will not issue a new phone till it becomes a larger problem....)

honestly the phone is what i want out of it....(and many people are satisfied)

i give it 4.5/5

just because of the bleeding... if you didnt read into the phone or read people *****ing about it on 2x forum then sorry again for your loss send me the ****ing thing and ill ebay it...

i know this is a section about "general ****" but come on if you are so pissed you have a few option and let me point them out so you stop the spam threads (i know im not helping by making this only feeding the trolls/spammers)

options:

TAKE IT BACK AND GET YOUR MONEY BACK (send it back to tmobile if you bought it online/on phone)

DEAL WITH IT (its a great phone that has alot of developmental support behind i, your loss if you turn away for a older phone)

GET A DIFFERENT PHONE (tmobile offers 14 day returns......... enough said)

SELL IT ON EBAY... (bet you can get profit out of it if you got a spare phone to use)
