Personally I think the G2X looks better in all cases. Sure there is some bleed on the complete black, but to be honest, I am probably not the only one that uses their phone in normal lighting, every issue I have seen posted regarding bleed problems are in a pitch black room. Hardly a situation that I would even come close to on a daily basis.

I think the G2X is great as is across the board. And I am coming from a Fascinate (Galaxy S phone).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
Well done Ravin! Thanks for that comparison.:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
wierd

in the pics the 2 screens look on while the third is black. i dotn see it like that maybe its just the way the camera pics up the bleed. But i think this is back to the old plama lcd arguments. my blacks on lcd and phone are black enough for me maybe i have my mind convinced they are black :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] x-ravin:
Well you're right, OLED is off when it's displaying black, that's why it has a massive contrast ratio. The camera isn't lying in those pics.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bakron1:
I have used both the NS and the G2X and I prefer the G2X over the NS. I sold my used NS the day I bought the new G2X and I am not looking back.

I haven't had any of the balcklight bleeding issues everyone is talking about and the speed of the phone is superior to that of the NS. The phone feels more solid in my hand then the NS did, the build quality to me is allot better then the plastic NS.

I haven't rooted mine yet, I will wait until a stable release of CM7 comes out and then I will take the plunge. I think once a nice stable ROM is released and the recovery flashing issue are resolved, allot of folks will make the switch.

Do you know what I take away from this? Seeing that 3 different high profile Android devices, all have the same 4 buttons, but they're all in a different order. Why can't someone say 'lets standardize on a single order for these buttons'?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
The sad thing is the NS doesn't even have the same layout as the Vibrant...same company!

Can you restore a backup from rom manager in ra recovery ? I flashed ra and rm won't flash back to cwm it says I have cwm 3.0.0.5 but in recovery its ra 2.3 I don't care to go back to cwm i didn't care for it it never worked for me but my first backup was with rom manager I would like it back...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dom085:
No, you can't flash an AmonRa backup with ClockworkMod or vice versa.

You're just going to have to flash Clockwork back, flash your Clockwork nand backup, flash AmonRa, and then backup with AmonRa and delete your Clockwork backup.

Or cut your losses, and just delete the Clockwork backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
No, you can't use backups from different recoveries.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
That sucks ! So you can't just move the file to the nand file? also can you rename nand backups from ra in a file manager or will they not work if you do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
Well I only wanted it cause it was the stock rom but I could just get that from this site so I guess its just wasted sd space... lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Negative on all of the above. They are not interchangeable at all, no matter what you name them. As someone else suggested already, use ROM manager to flash back to clockwork. Then restore your backup. Once its restored, flash back to amon ra. Create a new backup with amon, then delete your clockwork backup. It wont take long at all. (As was already posted, just agreeing that is the easiest way to resolve you're problem)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
I've tried to flash cwm it says I'm on it but when I flash anything I go right into recovery and I'm in ra any idea why that would be?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smurph82:
I guess you are trying to flash from the Rom manager. You can try this. In the rom manager at the bottom it says Flash Alternate Recovery, which is Amon-RA. Click that let in install Amon-RA again then go back into Rom manager and try to install clockwork recovery again. I can not find the Clockwork recovery image so if anyone knows where you can get the actual image file to flash manually then that may be the next choice. I have found on my sd card a Clockwork recovery image v3.0.0.5 by it is not zipped.

Also Amon-Ra says that you could do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026.

via terminal app or adb - (Make sure your rom contains flash_image!!)

Copy recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img to the root of your sdcard

start the terminal app or launch adb

su(press enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img(press enter)

reboot recovery(press enter)

Now the above is for his rom, but you should be able to replace recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img with a clockwork recovery image and it do the same thing. I have not tried this so do it at your own risk. If you try the rom manager with no results and can not find a flashable clockwork-recovery.zip file then I cnapost the image file i have for you to try but I don't promise anything. Maybe someone else has a better idea.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
i'm running a stock 6.5 unmodded and locked TMOUS hd2. when i first got the phone, videos ran smoothly. but weeks later, the videos became choppy. i dont know why. i turn off 3g, wifi, and set brightness to 20%. i also disable all tasks in the background. but videos still play choppy. why is this happening and what do i do to ply videos smoothly?
[HD2 General] Hamsn:
Are you playing the same video you played before, otherwise the problem might be with the file encoding. Moreover, try reinstalling the video player (if it's not the default Windows Media), or alternately, try another media player (like TCPMP).
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If the video files are stored on your micro SD card and the SD card is old. It might benifit you to malefactors back up copy of your SD card on your computer and then reformat it using Fat 32. If reformatting does not help you then maybe thecplayer you are using is not such a good player to use with the video files you are experiencing problems with. The TCPMP player the other member posted above is a good player that supports a kids of video formats that the Manila and Windows Media Player do not. You can find the TCPMP layer her on XDA.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
hey t-mag. i think its got to do with the video encoding. i say this cuz a couple of movies play smoothly off the sd card while a couple of others dont. so it could be a matter of re-encoding those movies that arent smooth.

as you know, i'm a newbie. when i go into file explorer and click to play a movie off my sd card, a program plays it in full screen by default. whats the name of this program? i know its not windows mobile media player.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
That is the Manila video player, don't ask where you can find it on your HD2 as I never found it when I was running Win Mo, believe me I looked lol. If it is the encoding then re-encoding may just fix them. But like a I said in my last post the TCPMP player is great, I never found a video it would not play, and it has a full screen mode as well. If the file you are trying to play is a file in Windows Media format it will automatically open Windows Media Player to play the video and not the Manila player. You can open non Windows Media files to play with the Windows Media player by opening Windows Media Player and selecting open file then find the video you want and open it. Or you can go to freewarepcketpc.net and search foe file extension for Windows Mobile File Explorer. This is a add n for the defualt File explorer that adds the properties option and the open with option to File Explorer if you long press a file.

Currently Running Jt's Awesome CM6.2 Beta, (Quick thanks to Everyone Involved in bringing this to Us) :)

I Have a Personal Issue and wondering if anyone feels the same or could lend me a Helping Hand in getting it fixed.

My Question, Relates to the Black and White Preview. I gotta say that as much as i tried to like it, Im just not a fan of the Black and White.

I cant seem to get good looking pictures specially in dark or low light areas. where I cant see what Im shooting.

I tried Looking at the Settings and those were only for flash/contrast/Gps/zoom.

Switching the Camera Apk from the one in EC01 Rom, as well as an ASOP one but that did not thing, well it actually just removed the camera link from the launcher and App drawer

Once again this is a Personal Preference Issue/Question, that I Figured I'd Bring up, just in case anyone felt the Same way...

Its Not meant to Bang On Anyone Related to this Awesome project :cool:

Thanks in Advance.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retepdgp:
I'm right there with you, and with all the hope everyone has in JT, I'm sure he'll fix that as well as the camcorder issue. What I never understood (Unless I overlooked it completely), was the camera didn't have a 5MP camera option, correct me if I'm wrong.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonblade02:
Yes, I hope Jt will get them fixed soon enough as well.

In regards to the 5MP you are correct, i didn't see an option either, which means its already set to 5, or its lower, which would explain why sometimes the pictures come out extra grainy.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragonblade02:
Now that EDO1 came out, hopefully there some good stuff in there so that we finally see a Full CM7. But only time will tell :)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikeyrokschicago:
I just want to put this out there. I purchased the black Speck Candyshell today along with my G2X and will be returning it tomorrow. This case will literally scratch if you wipe your fingers on it. Don't even think about putting it down on a hard surface. This case would be perfect if it didn't look like complete garbage after having it on the phone for 5 minutes. Stay away from the Speck Candyshell in dark colors.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
Could you please take some pictures of the phone in the case? From a few angles?

Wondering how the fit looks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] suhailtheboss:
im also wondering about the scratches, if you could post pics of those as well!

i was planning on buying the black or grey candyshell case tomorrow.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikeyrokschicago:
The fitment is great! No lie there. Unfortunately I'm at work until 330. When I get home I'll throw the case on and take some close up macro shots.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brian6685:
I am using the speck case and I love it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Wotornot:
I'm using the black\grey speck case with no issue and I quite like it, the other options in store were a joke...the body glove and circle ribbed one. I could suggest a case for your case in case it gets any other life threatening scratches. Sad part is I'm serious...its a case, they arent supposed to look like sculptures untouched, lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikeyrokschicago:
Ridiculous. I never stated that the case was never supposed to get scratched. However, I will not accept paying $38 for a case that looks like complete garbage after only 5 minutes of use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Wotornot:
Just exactly how long is your 5 minutes in my time? My case has been all over stepped on by pups, outside on furniture chilled by this crappy WA weather and in and out of my pockets back and forth. My case looks good...then again I will always be happier to have any character nicks and scrapes on my candyshell...so thats not even relevant. And ridiculous is hardly the word. Stating a phone hard case is garbage after 5 minutes, now thats ridiculous.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikeyrokschicago:
Look at you. Why are you trying to argue a moot point? Lol. I'll have pictures to support my statement.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
I purchased this along with my G2x. T-Mo had a promotion going to buy 3 accessories or more and get 30% off each of them so I took the bait. I do have to say that the speck case does scratch VERY easily as mine has not been dropped at all and only placed on my work desk and it does have substantial scratches on it already. The other thing that irks me too is that my headphone jack doesn't fit into my phone with the case on so I had to rip the rubber out of the headset hole and it doesn't look to good but at least I can plug my headphones in with the case still on. I don't care that the case is scratched up as that is the point of a case--to take the damage instead of the phone. Just my 2 cents.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikeyrokschicago:
Here are a couple photo showing fitment as well as the scratches sustained to the case after being on it for 5 minutes. I'm sorry if this issue seems trivial to some but I'm not down for having my phone in a case that looks like **** after a couple minutes. Imagine what it'd look like after about 2 weeks. The hairline scratches seen were a result of a wipe down with a micro fiber towel. There are two scuff marks that were a result of placing the phone on the table.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] djxcee:
A case is meant to get scratches.. you must of had keys in the same pocket with the phone of something.

Unfortunate there's no case for a case out there either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] suhailtheboss:
hmm

well i purchased this at work today regardless of the thread starters issues. I work in a tmo store, and got it for pretty cheap so i figured theres no harm in trying it out. better than buying something i cant see first online. g2x should be on my doorstep in the morning, then i'll throw the case on and post up some more info.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikeyrokschicago:
Not the case. (Pun not intended) All the swirl scratches are from wiping it with a micro fiber towel. The two scuffs were from placing it on my desk at work. Regardless of the scratches, the molding around the volume rocker was cracked. When I went to the T-Mo store to return the case, I checked other cases and found that the case I had was the only one with the cracked rocker. All issues withstanding, this case is not worth $38 IMO.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fzsrv:
Got the Speck case and love it. Makes the phone feel solid. And not as slippery! Only issue I had was I had to modify the opening around the headphone jack. Actually cut the piece separating the headphone and the HDMI port. Now I need to find something to smooth out the rough edges.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Purple Drama Llama:
Speck cases do scratch easy. My sister has one for her iPhone in purple, and after 2 weeks of use it looks like it got ran over by a car, fell down a mountainside, and got chewed by wolves. Quite disappointing, considering how attractive (imo) they look. I still buying one for my Atrix. Lets see how it works being black... the most blemish showing color in the world :D

Wish they would make something white.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Rather my case looks like it went through all of that rather than my phone :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikeyrokschicago:
Try a dremel with a fine sanding bit to smooth things out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Diceman4:
Then get it for $19.99 at http://www.wirelessground.com/t-mobile-g2x-speck-candyshell-black.html I just got mine in the mail from them today. Fast delivery and half the price of TMO... I don't know why you would shop at the retail TMO store when you can get **** for way cheaper at 3rd party discount shops for the exact same thing...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikeyrokschicago:
I would not want this case at $5. It looks like ****. Reason I'll pay retail is because I don't have an issue paying the money and can not stand waiting for **** in the mail. Clearly, $34 isn't the issue when buying a $500 phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andonnguyen:
If you do decide to buy from wirelessground.com,

You can use one of the three coupon codes too:

springdeal

off15

freeship

Personally I did the off15 (springdeal gives the same 15% off too) with usps priority shipping, and it came out to $23.91.

If you want to get it for $19.99 use the code freeship and choose the standard shipping method.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] notnice564:
i have a speck candyshell my self and back is already looking just like your black case, i have the grey and purple .but we get cases to protect our phone from getting the treatment the case is getting. if thats the case get a case for your case to keep your case from scratching .

***damn all these cases i feel like a lawyer lol smh***
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
Exactly what I was curious about. That shiny plastic looked like it would scratch easily. Thanks for the update.

Kudos.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Purple Drama Llama:
My cases have a dual purpose. Looking good, and protecting.

I buy SOO many cases for my phone its ridiculous. My last phone (Nexus S) I had only for a month so, I never really got to buy cases for that but before that (Nexus One) I bought pretty much everything available. I love Incipio, Case-mate (Torque case was AWESOME!), Otterbox, Seidio is my go-to for the most protective with the rugged and low profile cases. But, my favorite has to go to either Incipio, or Speck. Incipio has a lot of quirky interesting cases and speck has their patterns & shiny plastic that I love. I make desicions upon which phone to buy based on cases. So far, the Atrix has about the most available. That's why I went with it :D The only thing with more would be the iPhone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DrowsyMalice:
Stop saying case!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Purple Drama Llama:
Wow, you sure like to use the word case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Wotornot:
Couldn't possibly have been said that many times without a purpose I mean...the op made this thread due to a "case" being scratched. My intentional overuse of a word could have been commented about in a timely manner....or there can be two back to back posts a day later...whatever works for offtopic posts I guess, lol. Anyways ontopic, I still like this candyshell. So far its durable and not a royal pain to hold with ease or slip into and out of pockets. No real issues with the finish or freddy kreuger gashes from wiping it off yet...but I'll keep you posted!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andonnguyen:
Yeah the reason I went with this case is because of the plastic finish. Having full silicon cases in the past, I can tell you it is a pain taking it out of your pocket, and another pain trying to get all the lint off the case haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cbbplanet:
Try TPU material cases. Similar to silicon but surface is like plastic. Its a hybrid of plastic and silicon. Best thing I love about is that even if you drop it, the case absorbs some vibration from it and you won't have to worry about scratch or cracks on the phone. It's also smooth when you take it out of your pockets, no lint.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zachalak:
I bought this case so I sure hope its a good one... Still waiting for it to come in the mail. My question is: Does the case make the phone bulky or does it keep it pretty slim?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikeyrokschicago:
Definitely bulky.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] suhailtheboss:
so i've been using the black candyshell case for 3-4 days now

it does exactly what i need it to do

easy to get into/out of my pocket

protect the phone

look good

things i'm disappointed in:

it does scratch easily, but this isnt a big deal for me. better my case is getting scratched than my phone.

the my 1/8th audio plug in my car no longer fits because of the shape of the headphone hole on the case. once again this isnt a big deal, i have a mini 1/8th inch plug which i can use, but its just a pain that i have to go locate it in my house somewhere. haha.

overall i'm a big fan of the case, its definitely a bit too expensive, but luckily being an employee i got a decent deal on it. if i actually had to pay 40 dollars for this case i would have probably bought something else online instead.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kflanegan:
Very quick shipping!

To each his own but I ordered mine on the 21st and used the freeship coupon and just received mine yesterday the 23rd. First-class was certainly fast enough for me! Btw, I'm in Birmingham, AL and the package was shipped from Glendale, CA.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andonnguyen:
Looks like I wasted a couple of bucks then. haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] electric33l:
I've had the case for a while now, also purchased from WirelessUnderground. So far, scratches or anything. My only complaint is that it's a little too hard to pull it off the phone to access the sd card and stuff, so it won't be a permanent fixture on my device until I get CM7 and all my music on my card. As for bulk, i don't find it that noticeable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] F0rgiven:
Just purchased it with the freeship code. I'll let you guys know how fast it gets here, and what i think of it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
The stock USB cable also doesn't fit right with the Speck case. It will engage but if you look closely, it forces the connector downward slightly putting stress on the micro-USB connector. Solved by using the USB cable from my Vibrant, but just thought I would throw it out there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] short/y:
I picked up the Speck case when I bought my G2x on launch day and was never really happy with it so I returned it on Saturday. My main issue was that it added a lot to the size of the phone and made it difficult (for me) to hold and work on for long periods of time (> 20 minutes). Second, my pinky wrapped around the bottom of the case right where the hole for the USB cable was and it rubbed a bit too much for me.. Third was the issues with maintaining a microUSB connection. I have 6 or 8 different cables and chargers and found that most of them had trouble staying plugged in.

I like the protection the case afforded but the other issues were a deal breaker for me so I returned it and am picking up a silicone gel skin case. I've had one on my Nexus for a little over a year and find it to be great protection without adding any bulk or weight

Oh, one other issue with the Speck: with it installed, many people thought I had an iPhone! :)
