[T-Mobile LG G2x] GilesK:
got mine day 1 coming from a Nexus One overall I am very happy with the phone is a decent upgrade from a Nexus One.

I do have bleeding from the top of the screen, quite noticeable with a black screen but i can live with it. I have the wifi/4g problem sometime where both come on at same time i just turn wifi on and off until it corrects itself, i figure when the phone gets updated or I get C7 it will be fixed.

It also locked up on me one night when i plugged it into the wall charger had to pull the battery. Not sure might have been 1 off.

But im going to keep the phone as I do like the way it looks and feels and it is super fast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NexVision:
I've had mine since April 5th and I have no screen bleed and have had 3 lockups or crashes. I am unable to determine what caused them so. I just pulled the battery and rebooted. For those of u with random reboots this has been addressed by T-Mobile and has been identified as a software problem which will be fixed via ota very soon. We have been instructed to not replace phones for this problem as the new phone will suffer from the same problem. As far as phones go and I've owned android since the release of the g1. This phone kicks ass plain and simple and will only get better once we get cm7 on here. Most people suffer from the placebo effect plus the recognition so they post things to get attention. You can see this by all the people who post they have a problem then 10 minutes later that they made a mistake. People see a problem and assume they have the same when alot of the problems I see posted on the forums lately are people just not knowing what they are doing, how to use there phones, or how to read the forums for known tips and tricks. But they are special and require a direct answer since they lack the rational thought to apply what they read to there own problems.

Also for those with what they call the wifi/data problem this is not a problem it was done by design in a attempt to have all proprietary apps that require data via the network to continue to work while on wifi. Apps like my account and messaging without issues while set on wifi.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] royale192:
I have had mine since friday. no major problems yet, wifi N router concerns, But that i think is 2.2 fault. my cappy does the same thing will not stay connected. but thats aother post. so far i love the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
I only had one lockup so far.

LCD backlight leak is pretty minimal so it's not even an issue.

The real problem is the phone is unable to read ogg vorbis tag.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] electric33l:
When I got the phone, it had minimal issues (fast battery drain, etc etc), however this was remedied with a quick factory reboot and root explorer deleting extraneous apps. This is the best phone I have ever owned, and coming from Symbian S60 (Nokia n85) the issues seem trivial.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
I'm sure you've had several threads on this, but should I return my Galaxy S 4G for the G2x? Is that big a boost in performance? I love stock Android, hate Touchwiz, but the Galaxy S has an amazing screen. Also, does the app Wiimote Controller work with the G2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dj75728:
Huge boost in performance. The G2x works like "butter" as many have been saying. G2x's screen is amazing, some are saying it's one of the best on the market right now and even outshines some of Samsung's screens. Wiimote does not work YET due to LG adding in their own bluetooth stacks into the phone instead of the more common ones, however it's generally believed that a ROM (Probably Cyanogen) or a software mod will fix the issue. Hope this helps!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Thanks a lot! I'll probably be picking it up today.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yogi3:
LOL... I though I was the only current SGS4G person thinking about the switching to the G2x... plus it looks like this phone is getting more love than our phone from both the developers and LG I just read a story on engadget.com about LG showing love to the G2x something Samsung ain't doing for sh!t...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Yeah, that's another thing. There's almost no support for this phone from T-Mobile, Samsung, and the modding community, with the G2x having all of the above.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
honestly... touchwiz is so lame id rather have an iphone than a sgs4g... its pretty much the same software only the iphone has better hardware than the sgs4g lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
not true the sgs4g is not even close to iphone... better screen just for starters and at least t-mobiles network can handle the sgs4g

but YES it is better.... i traded my SGS4G the next day..... (well sent it back to order the G2x)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cyberchuck9000:
The G2X also doesn't feel like this:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
HAHAHAHAAH

yeah the SGS4G and the vibrant felt like plastic kids toys.... the G2x feels like a tank

and ive had mine for almost a week

NO reboots

NO data problems

NO screenlock death

minor bleeding but its only @ 100% brightness and in a dark room
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fairwaytrader:
I exchanged my Galaxy S. for the T-Mobile G2X. Yes, the screen is a big change, the Galaxy has a much better screen. But after about 10 days, I've forgotten the difference and was really enjoying the speed increase of the G2X. If you think you can get over the change in the screen, go for it, if you don't, you better stick with the the galaxy S or wait for the galaxy S II coming out soon.

Jesus that's really good. I'm getting 5.2 down and 2.1 up
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Super good number and very consistent too
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
Very nice. You must be right next to a tower?

Those are some amazing speeds.

Kudos.

[Xoom Accessories] s.t.s:
Noreve make some of the nicest cases I know (for phones) so quite excited to see them release this one.

It is basically like the Moto Portfolio case as far as I can tell and they are saying it will be in stock on 30th April which is a nice and firm date, whether they hit or not is another matter.

Its a little pricey and I can't decide if the PDair series might be nicer for a similar sort of cost.

Anyway just thought I would share the knowledge as I am still tooing and froing between case choices.
[Xoom Accessories] BlazinGTI:
Thank you for this! I cant tell if this case has the appropriate charging cutouts. Also looks expensive, any idea if they ship outside the U.S.?
[Xoom Accessories] s.t.s:
It certainly appears to since it is really only held at the corners. I am not sure it is worth it but from my experience of their phone cases I can vouch for their quality. They ship worldwide or at least many places, definitely uk and Europe and Australia

you live and learn ... at any rate you live
[Xoom Accessories] myv6mustang:
that looks exactly like the new official moto portfolio case
[Xoom Accessories] Kalavere:
Has anyone bought one of these yet? I can't find any videos of one on YouTube. I can't decide between PDAirs white ugly(ish) stitching or Noreves corner-holding case. The Noreve case looks far prettier to my eye, but I don't think I like the plastic that shows when the case is being used to prop up the Zoom, that and currently it's ~£75.

Decisions, decisions. I am off to NYC at the end of the month and I want a nice case for viewing the Xoom on the plane. If anyone knows of another professional, smart looking case I'd love to hear of it. :)

*Edit* Okay, I just spent £98 on the Noreve with fast shipping. Probably about £35 overpriced if you include shipping but meh. ;)
[Xoom Accessories] waynebike:
same gripe for me as the moto case; why couldnt they just cut a hole for the charger!
[Xoom Accessories] s.t.s:
Very interested in your experience with it so please keep us posted.

Ten days later, still no case, 3-5 days delivery is what I was quoted when I paid $32.50 for express delivery... Money well spent. :rolleyes:
[Xoom Accessories] Kalavere:
As a follow up, I have e-mailed them today and got a response, after waiting ten days I have to wait another ten days before I will receive it! I paid over $30 for delivery and it will take three weeks to come! What an absolute JOKE, so now I have a $160 case I can't take to New York with me, the whole reason I bought it. And I'm not buying another cheaper one, ~$200 on cases is rediculous. I am so pissed off with them, I don't recommend them at all as far as getting your product in a reasonable timeframe goes.
[Xoom Accessories] nervouschimp:
it has already been 3 weeks since i placed my order, and it still hasnt shipped. after looking at all the other available xoom cases, this is the only one i want... so i wait. i will post photos, and my impressions when it arrives.
[Xoom Accessories] nervouschimp:
Just an update for those of you that might be interested in the Noreve xoom case. They are apparently having production issues right now, with a lot of new cases coming out all at once.

I'll just add to Kalavere's warning that the Noreve case cannot be recommended at this point.
[Xoom Accessories] Kalavere:
Aye, apparently they messed up the production of the Xoom cases. I got an e-mail from them to say something of the like which is why I now have to wait 3+ weeks to receive mine. I'd steer well clear at least until I get mine which will be sometime before the 6th of June I am told, not that I'm even in the country to receive it, *grumble, grumble...* :rolleyes:
[Xoom Accessories] Dogmann:
@Kalavere

Surely at this point unless you still really want it you could ask for a refund although they do make nice cases they are expensive IMO and in the past I've tended to use PDair whose quality I have always found to be excellent. So far I just have the Motorola gel protector and am not sure what else I'm going to get yet but am considering an easel type stand and a neoprane case as have seen some nice ones on E-Bay and it works out at under £20 for both.

[Xoom Accessories] Kalavere:
Well I came back from the States yesterday after a week or so away and I still hadn't received it, 28 days later...

I e-mailed them yesterday and demanded a refund, as they will only refund after a 30 day period has passed and you haven't received the product. :rolleyes: I got a response this afternoon with a refund. They also had the cheek to respond to my English e-mails in FRENCH. I won't buy another product of theirs again, ~£100 for a case direct from the manufacturer is overpriced, and they are rude and incompetent.

I was forced to buy the official Moto Xoom case from Carphone Warehouse before leaving for the US, and I think I'll be sticking with this one, cheap and it works. I don't use a case at home so it's only for transporting it.

Bottom line, if you really have to buy this case, avoid buying it directly from Noreve like the plague.
[Xoom Accessories] nervouschimp:
I've had the noreve case for a couple weeks, and although it is very well built, it has a very negative impact on the xoom's wifi radio. It cuts my signal in half and web pages take forever to load... or don't load at all. As soon as I take the case off everything goes back to normal. Its weird. Xoom wifi.

does any body know if the screen backlight is one big light or composed of lots of smaller lights (for each pixel for example)?
[GT540 Optimus General] tejasjadhav:
I've finally found a solution on how to change the Russian profile names to English.

METHOD 1: (NO FACTORY RESET REQUIRED)

1. Download the attached profiles.xml

2. Copy it to the /data/system folder (Overwrite)

3. Reboot

METHOD 2:

1. Edit the build.prop file in /system folder. (Open in text editor in Root Explorer).

2. Search for the lines ro.product.locale.language=ru and ro.product.locale.region=RU.

3. Change them to ro.product.locale.language=en and ro.product.locale.region=US

4. Save the file

5. Reboot into Recovery and select 'Wipe data/factory reset'. Reboot.
[GT540 Optimus General] JackG256:
Thanks :) And the profile.xml fix works.

[GT540 Optimus General] tejasjadhav:
Thanx for testing!

I used Google translate and edited teh profile text manually. But this seems a much easier way. Will test by replacing profiles.xml
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark_Vortex:
Pardon me for not posting this in the development thread, but this is my first post in the forum.

I'm running Warm Z twopointtwo on my Incredible (running the 4/23 nightly currently though this problem occurs in all versions) and I'm having trouble using either Wifi File Explorer or WebSharing to connect to my PC wirelessly to transfer files.

Searching the forum revealed someone had the same problem with Myn's original twopointtwo ROM and the problem carried over.

This is my only gripe with this ROM so I'd love to get it fixed. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any input. This forum has been invaluable to me during the ownership of my HTC Incredible.

EDIT: Seems the same problem exists on Nils' Business Sense Z ROM as well. Is this a problem with all Z ROMs?
[Nook Color General] electrikjesus:
Using cm7, I find many issues stem from apps trying to read from SD. is there a way to resize emmc to a smaller size and increase the size of internal storage? or are they on a seperate physical storage?

Thanks :)
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
If I understand correctly, what you are asking is it is possible to have CM see the WHOLE 5 GB as internal storage, rather than .998 GB and a mount point at /mnt/emmc?
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
well i would like to know that.
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
Agreed. This would make a lot of things work nicer, if not better. The Nook app comes to mind first off. Lots of apps can't t see that mount point at /mnt/emmc.
[Nook Color General] painter_:
Could it be that the apps are written to store data to the mount point /sdcard?

There is a app in the developers area to swap /mnt/emmc and /sdcard. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034939

I have not tried it so can not tell you how it works.
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
Yep, already looked at that...defeats the purpose of the idea...to get access to the FULL capacity...of BOTH the internal and SD card.
[Nook Color General] painter_:
Let me get this right, you want to join the capacity of the emmc and the sdcard as one mount point. Like a strip set?

I do not think that it would wise or even possible.
[Nook Color General] EverythingNook:
i would like to know if its possible to use all the 5 gigs for apps and stuff.
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
No, no. If you look at the way that CM7 uses the EMMC card on board it "splits" it into storage(the way a phone sees it in android) and a mount point that is like an SD card. The problem with this is that some apps are poorly written and can't see that mount point at /mnt/emmc. So you end up with certain apps not being able to access roughly 4 gigs of onboard storage.

The sdcard is seperate and handled correctly.

What the idea is here is to get the "phone storage" size to be the whole emmc and not just.92Gb(some limitation of android/CM7?). So you would end up when you look at the storage option in CM with Internal storage reading something like 4.9 gig instead of .92 gig and have no mount point at /mnt/emmc. All apps should be able to see the full capacity of the EMMC card and the external SD card this way.

Edit: sorry if I seem to ave threadjacked you electrikjesus. You just asked a VERY good question.
[Nook Color General] Solarist:
I would be happy even if there was a nice way to mount the emmc as /sdcard and then mount the actual external sd card as /sdcard/external_sd, similar to how my Captivate handles is. This would at least allow both to be access by all applications, and not just those few that will allow you to access parts of the filesystem besides /sdcard. Is there any reason fstab couldn't be modified to this?
[Nook Color General] electrikjesus:
I figured that you all would pretty much take it from here ;) You know exactly what I was asking. Currently EMMC is a huge waste of usable space even if I resize it for DualBoot, I still have a good 2gb left over that could be used to increase the internal storage of my Daily CM7. I use the DB for honeycomb tests.

Sent from my NookColor
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
Yep, I understand it perfectly...just never would have thought of actually asking about it:o

anywho...heres hoping that one of the devs or someone with some knowledge of the subject will chime in.
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
bump bumpty bump. Did we get lost in the 1.2 flood or what?
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
Really would like to see this happen as well, as it's kind of silly to have such a low amt of space for Apps and then a bunch of space kind of hidden that some may never even know about.
[Nook Color General] jericho831:
couldnt agree more - bumping my apps to the sdcard is a pain - Id like to have that unwasted /emmc 5 gig slice for something..
[Nook Color General] dabiddabird:
I have been looking everywhere to find an answer to this very question. Would love that extra space for apps and what not.
[Nook Color General] 12paq:
I use emmc to store all my music. Then point my music app to that partition. PowerAmp sees it just fine and I have the rest of my partitions freed up for more important things. Call me silly but I thought that is what it was for, to store data.
[Nook Color General] 360Razir:
12paq, this is exactly how I want to roll....I want my music on the 5Gb EMMC partition. I have PowerAmp already loaded. What is the best way to transfer my music from my PC to the EMCC of my NC?

EDIT: Nvm....figured it out...easier than I originally thought.
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
Nope..you are both getting and missing the point. What if I want to store epubs there and my reader app of choice can't see anything but the "internal" storage or SD card. That's roughly 4 gigs of unusable space for me then. It would seem to me that from a compatability standpoint, getting all this to be seen as "internal storage" would be optimal.

Some apps just can't see that mount point, mostly those that were designed with typical phone setups in mind.
[Nook Color General] dung8604:
I understand what you're saying... maybe we could start a bounty for resizing emmc for more app storage?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] eval-:
NOTE 1: I have only tested this on 1.5.7 from AT&T.

NOTE 2: It could **** up your device, use at your own risk. Mixing a Telstra shared library (v2.2.2) in our ATT 2.2.1 system is an ugly hack

... but, it fixes Skype.

Requires: root. adb. smarts.

You can do the following steps, OR, apply libaudio-new-cwm.zip in CWM...

1. adb push libaudio.so /data/local/tmp

2. adb shell, su, "mount -o remount,rw /dev/null /system"

3. "cp /system/lib/libaudio.so /system/lib/libaudio.so.orig"

4. "cp /data/local/tmp/libaudio.so /system/lib/"

NOTE: Next steps cannot be skipped if you are using "Root Explorer" or some other method besides adb to copy over your old libaudio.so:

5. "chown 0 /system/lib/libaudio.so"

6. "chgrp 0 /system/lib/libaudio.so"

7. "chmod 0644 /system/lib/libaudio.so"

(sets mode to -rw-r--r--)

Enjoy your audio apps! Reboot doesn't seem to be necessary, the audio services crash and restart when the library is copied over. Hopefully we'll finally get a proper fix for this from the next OTA update.. you may want to return libaudio.so ("cp libaudio.so.orig libaudio.so") before you apply any OTA, so your system is virgin.

WARNING

This mod can cause a boot hang if you do it wrong. If you wanna be safe, please do the following (hopefully except step 3 ;)):

1. Have Tenfar's CWM installed first!!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1019143

TO GO BACK TO OLD (BROKEN) 1.5.7: Copy libaudio-recover.zip to /sdcard

TO USE NEW WORKING (TELSTRA): Copy libaudio-new-cwm.zip to /sdcard

2. Use CWM to apply new libaudio (or return to stock with 'recover.zip')

IF something happens and you want to recover your original (see NOTE below for non-ATT 1.5.7 users):

3. Start CWM, navigate to "Install zip from SDCARD" and "choose zip from internal sdcard" and pick libaudio-recover.zip from within CWM (to start CWM: pull battery after hang and then plug Atrix to a wall charger, NOT a PC usb hub and re-insert battery) This will bring you back to the old, non-working 4.1.57 libaudio.so.

NOTE:

If you are not on AT&T and 1.5.7 then copy your original libaudio.so into the libaudio-recover.zip and recompress libaudio-recover.zip (using 'deflate' [usually the default] setting ONLY.) Then put it in /sdcard before you tinker...

Or better yet, use CWM to make a backup of your whole system which you can restore later... trust me, you won't regret it!

But so far, most have no problems with this mod... PM me if you do!
