[T-Mobile LG G2x] TimTim12:
I'm replacing mine too, but I'm going to ask the customer rep tommorrow if there's any way to go in store to arrange the exchange so I can make sure I don't get another phone with a bleeding backlight problem. I'm surprised that they didn't catch this somehow?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Let us know what they say.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] msid:
I originally ordered mine online and just called to get replacements. The rep said - and it is on the return form - that you can only return/exchange through the channel you purchased. Or, if you are a new customer, you could cancel and then go to a store and sign a new contract - and get a new phone number.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TimTim12:
Customer rep said she'd escalate the issue, and that once the issue was assessed, they'd make sure to check for the issue in the replacement units, so she said they won't be sending out faulty units. She said I was the first person to comment on it, so I'd recommend that more people call in to T-Mobile to make sure they address the issue. I'm surprised so many people are having this issue! Also said that it has to be sent through the warehouse and I couldn't exchange in store.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SPD7:
I have some minor bleeding but nothing irksome. I checked it on full screen apps, not startup.

I'd replace it if it was guaranteed no leaking I guess but not going to go nuts over it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
Can someone post a picture of this bleeding?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VICosPhi:
I think any screen that's not AMOLED is going to have backlight bleeding because that is the technology behind LCD

The only screens you'll see with ZERO backlight bleeding at corners is AMOLED or SUPERAMOLED
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jimbo831:
I agree VicosPhi, but this looks pretty bad and beyond what would seem acceptable to me:

You guys are waaaaay to critical. What's next the box has corners? Phone doesn't taste good when you lick it? Can't use it as a vibrator for your girlfriend because it's the wrong shape? Doesn't respond like star trek computers? Doesn't warn you when you're going to fart? Can't turn it on vibrate and cut chicken with it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I totally agree, people expect too much perfection sometimes... Getting mine tomorrow regardless of the issues, ill find my own issues..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xguntherc:
seriously air, this is a video playing on my brand new $500 dollar phone. look how bad the top corner is, this is in every game, every movie, ever black screen. That is not over critical, this is a hardware manufacturing issue and needs fixed, replaced ASAP.

I do NOT have this issue, even in the slightest bit on my Nexus One, my HD2, or my MT4G (only the N1 is AMOLED), my brothers droid, and his wifes droid X doesn't have it. I see you guys point where you say we are expecting to much, but look at my phone? tell me that is not to much. I want a black screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dj75728:
I've got it too. It's not too bad on mine though. Barely visible on bottom corners, top-right is worst. Still not too bad though. Not bothersome.

Does anyone know if this is the sort of thing that gets worse over time or anything? I don't think mine is a big enough deal for me to want to switch it out (ordered online), unless it's going to become a bigger issue later.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xl DIGITAL lx:
Wow that looks very bad. Mine is not that serious and I don't think I need to worry about it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] naszero:
Wow, that looks pretty bad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xguntherc:
yea mine is the worst I've seen, I'm about to take a photo showing the app called DRAW! that is a blank screen with the G2x next to my MT4G to show the difference of how a black screen should not have bleeding. hold on.

yea mine is bad.

*Edit I cannot, I repeat I CAN'T adjust brightness settings on my G2x, or the screen timeout, they options are both greyed out. Anyone else with this issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Ill retract my statement that is pretty bad. I will say though, not every unit will be perfect.try another and it may be better.... This phone won't be perfect, none is...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SupremeC281:
are yall gonna be using the phone with a blank screen? :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
all LCD screens have some backlight bleeding... some gets bad... and proven to get worse over time if the brightness and backlighting is high on a TV now does that mean it will get worse on a phone? im not sure.... many people say that you can get rid of it on some phones with the "dead pixel app"

after taking a closer look at my phone (as shown in his picture my is almost as bad but not noticeable without a black screen bit of bleeding in 3 corners mostly left bottom)

i will be calling tmobile to see what they can do (most likely an exchange)

ill post what they say on this thread... but im sure ALL LCD phones/tvs/monitors have SOME TO LITTLE back light bleeding as stated its just the technology of the screen....

its really sad to see a devise as promising and exciting as this one get so many problem threads but a SMALL community!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xguntherc:
OK, using the app called DRAW! the entire screen goes black and you can draw and write whatever you want. Check out the difference.

Mytouch4G on the left, and the terrible G2x on the right.

even look at the boot screen, that is not right, no QC should let that through. It doesn't matter if we will be using our phones with a blank screen, I don't wanna see that while I'm playing games, or watching a youtube video.. would you? I should not have to.

http://yfrog.com/h3vbojxj
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jimbo831:
Have you tried turning down the brightness?

I am surprised at this because every review I read talked about how amazing this screen was. The biggest thing I notice in your comparison picture is that the MyTouch 4G seems to have WAY better contrast. The black is blacker and the white is whiter. The black on the G2x is very much lit behind and the white is almost off white or cream.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
That's what I'm saying reviews don't mention it, maybe some just got bad ones...

And every phone has issues on launch... People seem like they expected perfection.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SPD7:
Is this a product of the curved screen?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chong81:
My buddy and I went through 5 different sets of O2x, and all of them had noticeable backlight bleeding at the top 2 corners. It especially stands out when showing a black screen in dark surroundings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] galaxyjeff:
I wouldn't keep the brightness up too much. Every phone has an imperfection. You will have to learn to live with some bad things. It is manmade. My iPhone 4 has a slightly dimmer screen on the top near the earpiece but it's not really bad and other people have the same problem. You'll probably just get another phone with backlight bleed if you exchange it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prod1702:
I would say get a replacement. I work for T-Mobile and the G2X in the store has no bleeding at all. Phone works great. I had to wait until today to order the phone should get it in a few days. If mine has the bleeding it will be replaced right away since i know there is a unit that does not have the problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xguntherc:
I've read many are having this issue, but many are not.

I'm going to the T-Mo store today

[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheoSqua:
Yeah it's not like that on all of them. Mine has very minor bleeding, but only like 1-2 millimeters. Definitely manageable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Mine is pretty much the same:eek: , I've tried exchanging mine 3 times and the replacements were even worse so I kept mine. I am going to wait for awhile and exchange it through customer service.

I just received my replacement phone in the mail... it was refurbished with VERY noticeable backlight bleeding even during boot with sun shining on it! My original one wasn't that bad... this one had a had yellow hue in every corner... A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE! It also came with other issues but oh well I'm getting another replacement
[T-Mobile LG G2x] katiepea:
obviously this is a pretty known issue at this point, i got my gf a new g2x the day it came out to replace her ****ty nexus s that she hated. noticed some discoloration at the bottom of the screen in menus mostly, yellowish hue. pointed it out to her, wasn't aware of the problem at the time. she's not so pedantic about these issues as me, and i wasn't entirely sure it wasn't part of stock rom at the time. as the weeks have progressed she's been telling me it's getting worse and the backlight is now bleeding on black areas.

again, these are her observations which says a lot to me because typically she wouldn't even notice something like this... i get lcd bleeding on my tv that drives me insane and she can't even see it.

i'm surprised LG hasn't said anything officially. i dunno exactly how widespread the problem is, but she ordered her's online and uses the phone as a business communications tool so she's really hesitant to just keep playing the shipping game. i told her maybe just return the online one for a full refund and go to a store.. sucks regardless. anyone saying people are too overly critical... the phone is $500, issues like LCD bleeding tend to worsen over time, besides mentioning that a $500 device should in fact be pretty perfect and not have noticeable defects out of the box, if you don't make sure you get a good one, then your return window closes you're stuck with either a bad phone or playing the return game until you get one. asking that your device is quality is not being overly critical, i doubt anyone here wants their phone to have faults.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheBigSaxon:
I don't if this is unique to my phone but my bleed diminished quite significantly after the first couple of days of use.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ceroglu:
Just recieved my 4th replacemnet from t-mobile today. I got so happy when I noticed the build date being 4-28. But the phone has worse bleeding than any other phone I tried so far. I called T-mobile to get another replacement but I was told that I cant do anymore replacement and I should go to a store a pick up myself if I wanted to. This really sucks, as much as I like this phone but I cant really stand to the bleeding. I watch a lot of media and it is terrible to have yellow light coming from the corners! I might just have to return this and wait for the sensation or SGSII. LG please stand up and do something about this!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Takiwaki:
There is an article on engadget about bad lg screens also on ipads. I can link it as I do not have enough posts yet.

just to let you guys know, known issue with faulty lg panels

I am returning mine for a refund as I am tired of the reboots, bleeding and also if you guys wana start checking in bright light specs of dust under the screen.

Coming from a g2 I can wait a couple more months for something better without faulty manufacturing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kirdroid:
Here is the engadget article

http://tinyurl.com/5urg4au

Even though my lcd bleeding is minimal...it still sucks to pay $500 and have hardware defects. With all the dev support on this phone it sucks not to have this phone.

I don't know what lg can do abt these issue on existing devices...atleast they can own up and address the issue on new devices....in that we can exchange for new one.

Hi guys, i've been searching for two days now and i simply cant find how to restore original live wallpapers...

I installed gingerblur 1.3 few days ago, its a great ROM but i eventually got motorblur launcher (kinda liked moto widgets resizing) and some of the bloatware apps (really liked the social ones, qoffice and others) back

I also would like to restore the stock LWP, specially the "vortex galaxy", could anyone post a link to the stock atrix 4g live wallpapers apk files? I would really appreciate that...

Hey guys, I have a brand new Atrix... this is probably a noob question, but I think I'm doing something fundamentally wrong:

So when I connect the phone, I choose "None" mode.

I started the command prompt, but when I run "root.bat" it says "Reconnect your usb cable, or check setup, adb isn't running properly". What's adb?

Can someone please post a real step-by-step guide to deodex the Bell Atrix for noobs? Mine is brand new...

[Thunderbolt General] daniel178:
Hello all,

Lately (meaning, the last couple of days -- perhaps 3 or 4), my phone has been unable to get a Verizon data network connection for a certain amount of time (4G or 3G). WiFi works fine. However, anything else doesn't work, say, for a few minutes, or a hour or so. Sometimes, a reboot will fix the problem, but sometimes it won't.

The odd thing is, the "4G-LTE" icon is displayed and shows activity (up and down arrows blinking), yet I can't browse the web, update the weather, update Facebook, check email, etc., etc.

Does anyone have any ideas? Running BAMF 1.3.2. I am in the middle of NYC (plenty of 4G service). Yes, Mobile Network is enabled in the Settings. Tried a battery pull as described above AND a SIM card pull. Still no fix.
[Thunderbolt General] ktez:
I had a similar problem a few days after I got my Thunderbolt. I was still on stock yet. I ended up going to the Verizon store and they did a hard reset to fix it. It sucked because I lost all my data but since it was new I didn't have much on it. If you back up everything with Titanium Backup it shouldn't be too bad tho, factory reset is under "SD card and storage" in the settings menu.
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
There have been many problems with the TB and data/network problems as of late. I believe it to be because of this new 4G rollout that is coming Thursday, plus the fact we will be seeing an OTA quite soon they are propbably preparing the network for that, thus giving all of us all these weird problems that we have been having.

(everything above is just rumor and based on my 100% factual opinions :D)
[Thunderbolt General] t3ch7:
You are describing the same problem I'm having and I also live in NYC. But, I have no problems getting data when I force the phone into 3G mode only.

I notice the data connection problem even though the 4G symbol is up when I don't have cell reception for a while...like being underground while on the subway.

Turning the phone off and on or rebooting seems to fix the issue. I'm thinking the phone has handoff issues with whatever tower is near by.

Anywho, I did the "data fix" by changing the EVDO setting from eHRPD to Rev. A. I dunno if that'll do anything.
[Droid X General] Sirschiz:
All.

My appologies if the fix is somewhere through this wonderful maze of knowledge. I have recently updated to a donated version of Liberty 2.0.1. I love this ROM. I have also themed to the amazing Epic Blue theme. Running Launcher Pro Plus with very little other mods or tweaks. My issue is that everytime I apply the theme, my Market app breaks. I can no loner find it in my app drawer and the short cut on home screens is there but doesn't work. Then I try to reinstall it via another theme or by file manager it still will not install. I'm still rather new to ROMs, but have technical knowledge. Any guidance on how to reinstall the market app will be appriciated. Right now the only way to get it back is to really store a backup or wipe everything and really flash which as you all know is time consuming.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
If you go to settings > applications > manage applications, is it in the list under all?
[Droid X General] Sirschiz:
Thanks for the reply. No. That's strange right? Its now where. The only thing I can think is its because I have a custom icon for it on the dock using launcher pro plus. But, if that where true them all apps like this would act the same right?
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Im pretty sure the marketis not installed on your phone. I have two ways to get it back:

1. Using root explorer, go into one of the themes and copy the market app into /system/app. Then install it

2. Google search 38 themed markets. It should be the first site. Download one, and flash it in CWM.
[Droid X General] Andy_How2Droid:
Hey man, stetsonaw from DF (aka the creator of EpicBlue).

It seems you downloaded my OLD version of the theme, which breaks markets, that WAS in the Liberty Toolbox.

Here's what you do.

-Install Liberty without wiping data (wipe cache and dalvik cache)

-Verify the market is now there

-head over to DF and grab my new and more epic version of the theme (google EpicBlue Liberty, you have the discontinued one, grab the proper one for your X)

-make a backup

-install theme

oh, and take two, call me in the morning ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexxon87:
Hi all,

So I'm a bit confused about the radio. I flashed new basebands on my Droid 1 all the time, so I'm familiar with the idea. But I mistakenly flashed BAMF 1.5 directly after the manual rooting process, rather than the radio (which at the time apparently was missing the LTE portion of the update?). I tried to install the newly-fixed version that includes the LTE portion, and Clockwork is unable to install from the zip. Am I missing something? Or maybe there's a way to boot to the old "white" menu where there's a few different options, rather than just Clockwork recovery?

Thanks for any help. If I don't respond tonight, I fell asleep.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BotsOne:
You need to boot into the bootloader and flash the file from there, not from recovery. The file must be named PG05IMG.zip and be located in the root (not in a folder) of your sdcard. Turn off the device. Hold volume down and turn it on, you should get the white screen. pick the top option (bootloader) and then wait, it should recognize the file, ask you to push volume up to confirm, and then flash it. After you reboot, delete the file from the sdcard, and then you can resume flashing roms from CWR =)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexxon87:
Aah, OK--a bit different than how the Droid worked, where I remember applying .zip files with radios through SPRecovery (and maybe Clockwork too?). I'll do it this way after/during work, since the file is already on the SD card. Thanks!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Never used ultimate droid, but I would still recommend CM7. Its stable, fast, clean, lots of mods, themes, ect. Also, everything works. I've never had a problem on it, gps included.

Thanks teh roxxorz you always help me out I appreciate it. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
WImax is 4g. Tether is built in here: Menu>Settings>Wireless and Networks>Tethering no need for the wireless tether app. Although I think the Barnacle Tether app works.

CM7 has always been good to me too. Favorite ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
No problem man, and my pleasure to help. :)

Wifi tether, you can access the native hotspot from under wifi settings under hotspot and tethering; you can configure it as you wish, also can be added to your notification power widget.

WiMax = 4G, that's just the technical name for it, as its "wimax" technology. So if you hear wimax, they're talking about 4G. Also if you hear wimax rsa keys, those are your devices person 4G keys, which if lost, you've lost your 4G, permanently. Verizon's LTE, is 4G, but under a different LTE technology that is expanding.

Does that help? :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
As said, the wireless tether app WON'T work on CM7...so you'd have to use the native app. Barnacle tether does work, but again, same as the native.

Wireless tether will only work on sense roms, if you really needed to tether 4G speeds.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgeigel:
Yes that helps a lot thanks :)
