[T-Mobile LG G2x] C16MkII:
Questions about the desktop dock. I want something to hold my phone while it charges on my desk, rather than leaving it sitting face up or down. So logically, the dock they have available is what I'd want. But is it? I want to get clear on what the dock can actually do. Really, all I need for it to do is be able to charge my phone while holding it and to be able to turn on USB storage since it'll be connected to my computer. Does the dock only hold the phone vertically, or is there a horizontal option? Might be nice to sit it on a flat surface to watch videos or something.

Oh, and most importantly, can it be used by a phone wearing the Body Glove case?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gohawks1:
The dock can hold the phone either horizontally or vertically but only charges it when it's in vertically. I don't know about the USB storage piece. As far as working with a case, I don't think it will. I was at a store yesterday and asked the employee if it would work with the case on the phone and they told me no.

I decided I'd be better off just making something or buying some cheap stand to hold the phone.

I used to not care with my Vibrant because the viewing angles on AMOLED were so great, but now with this phone the screen gets too washed out when I try and view it when it's laying flat.

Not sure if anyone is interested, but I just bought this dock.

Dock > http://www.amazon.com/SoundGate-M2-engineered-Blackberry-portable/dp/B001Q3M0NU

Video of how it works > http://youtu.be/gilKRJJy5sw

I got it for $15 with shipping and its verified to work with Droid X, which is heavier than G2x, so I'm sure it will work as well. I'll post pics asap in case anyone is curious about getting this type of dock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
If yes upload please.....dock looks so interesting.

People interested in a car dock, check out www.proclipsusa.com.

I got one for my G2x and it's great. Their system consists of two parts: a device holder (so you get the G2x holder), and a vehicle mount (you specify your vehicle make/model/year). So if you ever get a new car or a new phone, you only replace half of the system.

I also installed the newer Car Home app from Google which launches and exits automatically when it connects disconnects from my bluetooth stereo receiver in my car.

isn't that the kind where you have to stick it to some putty or something?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Do you have this dock???

Do you have this dock??? :confused:

Wow:eek::eek::eek::eek:

This dock has alot of features. I wonder about this part of the docks info ->>>

"It is even designed so if your phone is vibrating frantically it will still stay in place. The holder is able to do such a feat thanks to the special surface which is made from a high tech rubber material."

Do you have this dock??? :confused:

•Holds any phone or device in place - landscape, portrait and anything in between

•Sleek and stylish design

•Will power and charge any mobile phone

•Integrated two port USB hub

•Incorporates a 8 in 1 memory card reader

Desk Genie Non-Slip

This holder is designed to hold any device in position. It holds using a special material which grips the device. It is even designed so if your phone is vibrating frantically it will still stay in place. The holder is able to do such a feat thanks to the special surface which is made from a high tech rubber material. Your phone is held so firmly you’ll think it has been glued down – but there is no sticky residue on the phone or on the Genie. The Desk Genie can hold your phone in optimum viewing positions to read emails, watch videos and play games.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] h3ck:
Just got the dock, new phone should be in tomorrow. Will post pics asap. But as a preliminary, the dock feels super super sturdy and very solid. Definitely feel like it was well worth the money. Comes with great packaging and a picture instruction page.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
No, it has a "no-slip" material on the face...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVOb-RQSIOE

If you watch the video closely you'll see the desire does begin to slip off (00:39), he quickly grabs the phone.

Also, you can't do phone data transfer from the dock.

Looks cool but I think I'll pass.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ravingnoodle:
I ran across these desktop docks while looking for Nexus S docks, I pre-ordered mine and it's suppose to ship by the end of May according to them. They have two models. One which is just a regular dock and one that has an extra slot for a second battery.

I can't post links but if you go to 4u-mobi.com and look for the LG section, then select the Optimus 2X phone, you'll find the docks. It's about 26 and 31 dollars respectively.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rori~:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Grimm1313:
Looks like that should be proclipusa.com
[T-Mobile LG G2x] propain4444:
I was disappointed when it didn't launch the clock app, even though the "manual" for the dock says it will. My solution was to add a couple of rules to Tasker (if you don't have Tasker, get it!) to solve the problem.

Basically, set up 1 rule that launches to clock app when AC power is connected... Then another rule to "Go Home" when AC power is disconnected (Power->AC->Invert).

So what is the best/cheapest way to use this phone as a GPS?

I like the idea of buying something specific for my car, but I'd like to use the phone horizontally I like the GPS like that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avezes:
I use the KiDiGi dock and tasker

I bought my dock on Ebay. It does not have a magnet (that i can tell at least); so, I use Tasker and set up a clock anytime the power source state is USB or AC.

I love the KidiGi dock

"Ebay Link to KiDiGi dock" was supposed to be a link but XDA does not want useful and helpful information like that from newbies like me ('til I earn some trust).

Goto Ebay and search for KiDiGi +G2x

I like it because it is a perfect fit and does not rattle free on vibrate. It is a vertical only stand with the USB adapter built in and an extra battery charger built in.

(no i am not the seller so I am not plugging this particular one. Shop around and get the best deal. At the time this one was best price, but that changes daily).

PS Tasker information can be found at:

well damn again they wont let me post links yet so use google to search for Android Tasker to get more information or just purchase it from Android Market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fiveseven808:
I have this dock! It's awesome but the power plug that comes with it burns out fast if you have the phone and the battery. The seller won't fix it for your either :\ I recommend a heavy duty 1a or 2.1a charger if you can find one if you plan on charging two batteries at once!

I have Tasker already set up so if it gets AC power and see's my home's wifi to launch the clock app :] works just as well as my old N1 dock! I'm just kinda sad I can't hit the home button and go back to the clock app~

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
When I got my first Android device I didn't sleep for 48 hours. I was on a 2 day tweaking binge. Seriously though, your going to love it and after you use it for a month or two you will never want to use anything else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reddragon72:
1 or 2 day tweaking? I've been unsing android for over a year on two different phones and I'm still tweaking :-) lots and lots of options! And I hardly ever get on my laptop or desktop anymore because my phone has replaced them. My phone has pretty much taken over the use of any other device, except for TV.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Koshuu:
Congrats! I'm sure you'll love it like so many of us all have come to. Welcome to Android my friend :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justaddwater57:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] samson_420:
My Nandroided HD2 is the same way. I can do 95% of everything that I can do on my PC. Even TV, there are so many things streaming now. As long as I am in town with HSPDA or even 3G I can stream video forever.

Not much not to like about these phones as long as they run good.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Oh, don't get me wrong. I am still tweaking constantly, just not for 48 hours straight with no sleep. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s00paSold3r:
is it suppose to come with a SD card??? I just opened mine and it was factory sealed but there is no SD card in the phone or in the box
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
No, I'm glad because I never use the ones that are supplied since there usually Class 2 cards. Go get yourself a 8gb Class 10 Transcend and you will thank me later.:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
I've never seen anything that says it should. I suppose it's become a common expectation now as even phones that have large internal storage have often still come with a small external card.

Honestly though, with 8 gig internal storage, what do I want with a 2gig card (what usually comes with these phones)? I'd probably end up replacing it by the time I used up the 8gig with a 16 or 32gig card anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kampf:
I picked mine up this morning, first to the local T-Mo store.

Got the phone, Skullcandy(blech) ink'd mic earphones (none included from LG), Body Glove cover, screen protector, and car charger for just over $550 out the door. The accessories were pretty much free!

Fast phone, even compared to the Nexus One with 2.3.3.

Now if I can figure out why it's not downloading my apps that I've got installed on the Nexus One...

[Windows Phone 7 General] cocochannel:
Sorry newbie question ehre and search is not giving me relevant results.

If the phone is unlocked and I update to NoDo, will it still be unlocked?
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
It will remain unlocked IF you do the prevent relock before upping to nodo.

Once on nodo, a hard reset will relock it and you'll have to revert back to 7008 unlock, prevent relock and then update to nodo again

Hey all.

I think this might be a general problem with Android, but before someone scolds me for posting in the wrong place, I'm trying it here first.

I own two SIM cards... one I use regularly, the other that I only use to go online. I use APNdroid (well, actually Elixir, but the method of operation is the same) to prevent my usual and expensive SIM card from connecting to the internet. However, when swapping one SIM card for the other, the phone goes online either way.

- SIM1 is in the phone, APNdroid has data disabled

- I turn off the phone, insert SIM2

- After using SIM2, I switch back to SIM1

- When the phone has started up, SIM1 goes online immediately, despite the APN setting having been wrong before using SIM2.

Is there any way I can stop this from happening? Going online with SIM1 costs me a fortune and going into settings to disable data through Android is quite tedious.

Cheers

Hi guys, im the developer of Kilsswitch, an app that turn off the screen of your device when the case is closed.

You can find the apps thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988126

Ive been meaning to get some feedback from people using the more obscure devices, so if anyone has the app or participated in the beta a few weeks back, id like to hear about the results!
[Adam Accessories] isolated_epidemic:
This is fantastic. I didnt even know I was looking for this. It works exactly as its supposed to. Im using Vegan 5.1.1 and a SwissGear slip case from Walmart.

And as a bonus the Adam's light sensor is perfectly placed to be used a power "button" of sorts. GReat work!
[Adam Accessories] ftgg99:
Great! What sensors are you using?

Also, i will release a new version by weeks end which integrates a new function - you will be able to run Killswitch using a day/ night schedule. I know this doesnt sound important, but it is.

ATM Killswitch is a hack - i built it for myself knowing full well that low quality sensors on many devices will have problems registering events in high-sensitivity environments (at night, for example, when ambient light levels can be low in peoples homes) .

My galaxy tab is an engineering sample with an excellent light sensor which works perfectly even when light levels are low, but many consumer products have really weak sensors that cant differentiate between low light levels.

For this reason i always recommend an activation delay of 6+ seconds to ensure redundancy.

With the schedule feature, Killswitch will allow people with weak sensors to disable some functionality at times when they know their sensors are not up to psr.
[Adam Accessories] the3rd:
Any way to provide apk? Market is always flaky on mine.
[Adam Accessories] isolated_epidemic:
I'm using the ambient light sensor at 1% sensitivity. I don't think the Adam has a proximity sensor. I don't have a use for the accelerometer sensor as I don't place my device facedown but can confirm that it works, and well I might add.

Full disclosure, I pirated your app to test, but will be buying it tomorrow on payday, for my device and the 3 others that I manage in my family. Thanks for the hard work, this is extremely useful.

Edit: Bought 2 copies so far. 1 for myself and 1 for the wife.

Ah, so a pay for app, I checked and also no demo. I'll try it once there is one, thanks for the effort.

15 minutes is more than enough to try it out - just put your finger over the light sensor!

Ive been considering a demo, but it would have to be seriously restricted or time-limited... hardly a demo.

Hi,

I have followed all the steps in the rooting Galaxy Tab for N00bs thread and got the message from the superoneclick that my tab had been successfully rooted.

edit.

After much fumbling about and doing it twice I think it has worked, It is not clear to a new user if you device is rooted or not as the guide just ends saying 'your device is rooted'!

It took forever to boot up again and it appeared that all my apps had vanished but eventually they came back. Seemed very slow.

I got an app called rootchecker that tells you if it has worked or not - and on the second time through it worked! Magic! Now hopefully will get titanium backup working now! Also hope to get the thing unlocked from O2. Then get a good custom rom. Errr, how exciting what else?

On my new G2x I cannot adjust the screen brightness, the option is greyed out and does not work in settings. I've tried rebooting twice. The only way I was able to lower the brightness was to use the widget and select the different levels (or auto, and auto didn't seem to work)

also screen timeout delay, is a setting I wish to have to choice to choose, it is also greyed out on my stock G2x. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this or if they are able to adjust theirs?

follow the initial steps when you boot up from fresh

Like from when the phone is factory reset?

I have an LG 2X (basically a G2X) and skipped the start up part because I didn't have my sim activated (thus no internet or anything on it). My plan was, root the phone - which I've done, unlock it - waiting on the code, and then activate the sim and go back and do the set up stuff once my phone was at set up.

However now I see the brightness is having the problem described in the first post so I'm wondering if I should: factory reset (can I do this after it's rooted? should I unroot first?), should I unlock the phone or will the factory reset lose the fact that it's been unlocked? If I unlock should I factory reset after or can I just install a rom, will a rom fix this issue?
