[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aldreth:
Add one more to the pile...

I also recently began having this problem, but my device previously worked fine.

I have tried Restoring to Factory V21Y with Mar 11 Baseband

Flasing a GB Based ROM & Stock Kernel

Flashing CM9

Flashing CM10

Entering *#*#INFO#*#* Phone Info and modifying frequency band (No Go).

At one point I was able to read the Phone # from the SIM card, but couldn't get a lock on Netowkr. I can visually detect T-Mobile and ATT in Mobile Networks.

I have tried this with 4G Enabled SIM Cards and older T-Mobile SIM Cards.

I have tried Simple Mobile, Straight Talk, & ATT SIM Cards.

I have tried using None APN's, the TMo/Simple Default APN's, and Modified APN's for Straight Talk & Family Talk.

No avail.

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I had the same problem. A new SIM card fixed it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jusser:
RE:

I gave my friend my old G2x because she was switching from AT&T to TMobile. She went to the TMobile store and got a new SIM card and her old AT&T number transferred to it. It works on her old iPhone but when I insert the SIM card on the LG G2x , it keeps saying 'no SIM card inserted'....do i need to flash a certain baseband on it and/or setup a custom APN for it? I am on the stock ROM thats rooted...

Any help is much appreciateed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Sorry for not replying until now but I rarely visit here anymore. My G2X had a bad Sim card which a new Sim fixed. I just had to wait until the network could authorize with it.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I'm strongly thinking about it as it is very tempting! Stock Android (soon to get CM7 which I'm currently using on my N1), bigger screen, dual-core, and HDMI-out (mirroring too). What do you guys think?
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Went to Tmobile store today and played with one. It felt solid and seemed to perform fast around the launcher & home screens. But it just didn't feel that much different than my N1 and I don't like the large soft button space at the bottom. I'm holding out for the Pyramid now rumored to be here June 8th.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
The Pyramid/Sensation looks absolutely amazing in terms of hardware; can't deny that. But HTC going the locked-bootloader route worries me. And the fact that Cyanogen himself bought a G2x makes it even more awesome. I love my N1 but I think I'm definitely going for a G2x, Sensation, or Galaxy S II this year.
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
Are you guys experience slow down on your n1? Cuz I am. My quadrant score on 6.1 was high running at 1113 MHz. Now its on cm7 stable release and the highest it can get is 1398. To back that up, sense preview isn't smooth anymore. Any idea?
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Agree, one of those 3 should be a super upgrade this year for me as well...
[Nexus One General] rori~:
Switched today :) ..this phone is a great update :cool:
[Nexus One General] tecz:
G2X seems to be cool,but I just ran out of money
[Nexus One General] garyo:
I'm most likely going to wait for the Pyramid/Sensation. Love HTC and that phone seems to be the first all-round upgrade to the N1. Gorilla glass, great display + GPU power to drive it, plenty of RAM + storage (compared to my N1!), good looks; only thing it's missing is the trackball LED. Why has everyone dropped the idea of a repeating notification system? I don't care about the trackball, but the light is very useful in meetings.
[Nexus One General] rori~:
I even care about the trackball..moving cursor is so simple with it..I honestly miss the trackball!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I've switched to the OX2, seems worthy:
[Nexus One General] crachel:
I'd consider the G2X if the 850 band was confirmed (? maybe it is/isn't, haven't checked in a day or two)

Currently, I'm happy with my phones, but I have a upgrade coming from AT&T in June and I suspect I will use it on a Galaxy S II (that is, if it's out on AT&T by then). This will be the first time in a while I've gotten to take advantage of an upgrade.

Edit: looks like no 850
[Nexus One General] Over Achiever:
I'm still holding out for the HTC Pyramid/Sensation ... I can live with the new HTC Sense for a few months before rooting the phone. Then when I root it it will be 1. like a new phone and 2. quite a bit faster. Kinda like a mini-upgrade to an upgraded phone!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
You're assuming you'll be able to get round the locked bootloader though.
[Nexus One General] wang1404:
He's an over achiever that's why lol: )
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
A) Because none of the phones coming out have multi-colored trackballs/trackpads. Actually, I don't think any other Android phone world-wide has a way to display multi-colored notifications. It looks like all manufacturers have dropped support for trackballs/trackpads in general (along with Google since they added the text selection features in Gingerbread). It's an amazing feature on the N1, but it's the first (and probably the last) phone to have it.

B) But it doesn't matter because XDA members have found alternate methods of notifications :D (ie using the backlight on the buttons, or a few pixels on the screen, etc)
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
The HTC Dream, G1, had a multi-colored notification light that wasn't implanted inside the trackball. And it was awesome. It can't be that hard to bring that tiny little multi-colored LED back, but apparently no one really cares. Cause it would still be in HTC phones today. Or I guess it could have been removed for aesthetics.

I honestly don't know why the G2X doesn't interest me. It is incredibly fast, it runs stock Android (which I don't like), and it is on my carrier. But this device simply doesn't manage to spark my interest. I guess compared to other device coming out this year it simply isn't that impressive. The Tegra 2 found in the device isn't that great in comparison to the Adreno 220 found in the HTC Sensation and Exynos found the Galaxy S2, it also has a sub-par screen and an unnecessarily large bezel.

The only reason for me to get this device would be the developer support, but then again, even if Cyanogen himself doesn't have a device doesn't mean it won't be graced with CyanogenMod. Ehhh, I'm pretty sure I'll be skipping this. However iff it is the only thing good on T-Mobile when my contract is up I might have to get it.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Explain?!

It's an IPS LCD as used in the iPhone 4.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Actually, quite the opposite. The 220 is just barely, barely faster, and in some cases (3D) the 2X pulls ahead. Check out these benchmarks from Anandtech (and note: these are for a 1.5 GHz Adreno 220 whereas the Sensation will be 1.2 GHz):

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4243/...mance-1-5-ghz-msm8660-adreno-220-benchmarks/3

(The above 1.5 GHz test device is also not battery optimized at all, so performance may be even lower once HTC tweaks the real 1.2 GHz device to take that into account.)

Either way, it's at least a 200-300% improvement over the N1. I'd love to buy a G2x but will if and only if my N1 sells well on eBay (will list it this weekend, any takers? :))
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Having an IPS screen has barely anything to do with color reproduction, it more so benefits viewing angles. Which aren't even a problem with AMOLED, Super AMOLED, or Super LCD as is. The IPS LCD screen compared to those listed above is only decent. Washed out compared to the others with blacks that can't even compare to AMOLED.

SAMOLED - SLCD - IPS LCD

And this is before Super AMOLED Plus~

Yes... and you posted the only result that put the Tegra above the Adreno 220. In all others, it clearly came out ahead. Though that 1.5GHz clock might really account for those differences. I doubt even underclocked to 1.2GHz would it make the Adreno 220 less powerful than the Tegra 2, but who am I to say?
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
1) Need an AT&T 3G compatible device

2) Strongly prefer a stock Android device that receives its updates from Google.

The Nexus One is the only device out that fulfills both of my requirements.

I wouldn't mind a Nexus S if the AT&T band version ever comes out :-\
[Nexus One General] UCFJake:
I switched from n1 to G2x on Wednesday and it is amazing so far now that I have a working unit. My first one froze/rebooted over 20 times in 24 hours each requiring battery pull to reset. Since getting this new unit last night I have had zero issues and that's through two recharge cycles (where the crashes happened most frequently).

I really miss text editing with the trackball but surprisingly not the notifications. The expanded internal memory and speed increase on everything make this the substantial upgrade I was looking for.
[Nexus One General] crachel:
its out in white/black

[Nexus One General] wintermute000:
For me add 3.) Major update to N1 CPU performance.

In Australia, the only carrier with a network worth a damn uses 850 GSM so thats mandatory. And I'm not spending big beans to upgrade to a device that is just my N1 with a die shrunk CPU and a better GPU (I don't play games often, android GUI isn't even HW accelerated at present). Hence if I drop requirement 2, SGS2 is the only feasible option at present for me, as the atrix has the locked bootloader + motofail issues. What were they thinking with the Nexus S and Desire S (as in how pathetic they are as an upgrade for Nexus and Desire owners).

Is it really dreaming to want a stock android device with a dual core or super clocked (like A8 @ 1.5Ghz or like) chipset and 850Mhz 3G? Why can't more manufacturers use quad band like SGS2 or iphone. I would be all over the HTC sensation on launch day if only it did 850 (yah I know its not stock, but its HTC so I give it a pass lol)
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
No notification light.....whatsoever.... Also, why have the ginormous space on the bottom and not have a trackpad or trackball. Also the camera protrusion in the back is annoying, not to mention the overall plasticy feel to it.

My coworker bought one...I'm going to skip the g2x for now,
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Wow, long post but good read.

I have an upgrade too which is why I'm looking for a new phone. My 2 year contract ended in March, so I'm thinking if I DON'T get a new phone, I'm losing the opportunity cost of the discounted phone. If I really don't like it, I can just re-sell and get the Sensation. I take good care of my phones, so that shouldn't be an issue.

That's one of the big draws for me and a feature I think would be more useful than it would seem at first. However, I don't think the Sensation will have HDMI mirroring. Where did you hear/read that?
[Nexus One General] crawler9:
Hmm... I'm not sure where I got that idea originally. A quick Google tells me I was wrong. At least in a sense, I was wrong. The G2X will support high definition HDMI out via MHL (? I'm not exactly sure what this is, but it sounds like it allows video out to TV as well, in high definition. I guess I'll have to do a bit more reading on that.

It seems that MHL will allow video out via the micro-usb port and will be 1080p quality video, so I don't think either really has an advantage over the over. I read this on another forum and don't know a whole lot about it yet, so I'd recommend looking into it a bit yourself too.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Prepare to be blown away. Check out this video (starts at 12:15):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYULrpSFu6g&feature=player_detailpage#t=737s
[Nexus One General] crawler9:
That's pretty awesome. Here's a video that shows how MHL works. It's not in use yet, and this video isn't as exciting as the one you posted, but it shows how it works.

MHL Explained
[Nexus One General] Estimated Prophet Hawk:
Although the hdmi out/tegra II are exciting features and I would like a bigger/brighter/higher res screen, I just don't see anything that replaces the two things that really make my N1 experience exceptional. Those are the trackball, which I use for everything and the stock dock which is an incredible feature that no one else (but apple) seems to embrace. Even apples docks are plug-in style, while the N1 has the nifty inset copper insets to connect to the dock.

Why oh why won't anyone come out with these things?
[Nexus One General] bigmout:
Slashgear reports the Sensation will have full HDMI mirroring, but you have to buy a dongle.

http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sensation-hands-on-12145489/
[Nexus One General] worker1:
I think you should do it. It's great.
[Nexus One General] Cookiekaikai:
No way I am getting the G2X. Not interested in any Samsung/LG device. HTC FTW
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
HTC are obviously good, but if they stick with this signed bootloader malarky, they'll start lagging.

In fairness to both Sammy and LG, both the NS and X2 are decent, well built handsets.
[Nexus One General] player911:
LG is awesome. Instantly rootable, already got CWM Recovery. lG just released the source code for the kernel and away we go.

The new Htc Sensation benchmarks aren't real world plus clocked at 1.5. That test was a free run on the CPU. I wouldn't expect the adreno to beat the tegra 2. Plus Nvidia already has developers pushing mobile graphics and already have Tegra2-only games. Your not going to see Samaung or Qualcomm doing that. Plus everyone should know about the graphical driver problems with Qualcomm and HTC. Graphical aspects are always half-assed.

I'm not sure how well those screen comparison pics are either becausenlots of Sammy and nexus S guys say the G2x is brighter. It's definately brighter then the nexus one. And I love the working multitouch... Fantastic.

CM7 is already on the phone and being finished up. Recommended buy.
[Nexus One General] crawler9:
Went ahead and got it today.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
For those of you who have this bad boy... Do you still have Free wireless tethering?
[Nexus One General] tr.slate:
I wouldnt recommend the g2x until they get their screen issues under control. I got two, both with lcd screen bleed pretty bad. They were both made at the end of march/beginning of april though so maybe if you give it a bit of time, lg will correct the issue.
[Nexus One General] bigmout:
Well, it's official. No AT&T bands for the G2X. Boo-urns!

[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Anyone care to comment? My two questions are whether the 512mb ram is an issue, and whether anyone has gotten backlight notification working on this yet.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Backlight notification has been working for ages, and I doubt 512MB RAM will be an issue, a lot of people are reporting around 200MB free at boot.
[Nexus One General] needmoregigs:
As others have said, I'm waiting on the HTC Sensation and the Samsung Galaxy S II to drop before I make my final decision. I hope the SGS II has the AWS band once it comes to the US just to make the choice all the more agonizing.
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
lol - you've been on the fence about this for too long Paul! :D

Just go for it... I can assure you from personal experience you won't regret it...
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Well, my Optimus 2x looks nothing like that on that angle... I suspect the one pictured is a dud phone or a photochop.

And really, who uses their phone at 160 degrees anyway?

It that a test image/app I can find somewhere?
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
I think you should perhaps use one for a while longer before reaching (and expressing) such conclusions.

* There's no empty space at the bottom, just have a look at the service manual, it's full of stuff - no possibility to include a trackball.

* The extra distance the capacitive buttons are from the screen are a major windfall in gaming compared to the Nexus - I now almost never hit one unintentionally during a game.

* HTC Sensation buttons are actually so close to the bottom of the phone that my thumb can not reach them naturally (also contributed to by the Sensation's wide body).

* It feels solid, not a confidence inspiring metallic feel like the Nexus but equally, noting at all like a Sammy or Sony which feel like toys.

* Slight protrusion of camera was a design master-stroke by LG - although I wonder if they know it - slightly tilts the screen toward you when lying flat on a desk and most importantly the curved surface under the lens acts as a stabiliser for the phone (against your index finger) when holding the phone.
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
512mb is an issue, but of course it's no different an issue as with the N1

My backlight bleeds, but no worse than my N1

It seems that a lot of people just like to send devices back, inconveniencing themselves and LG and complaining about it.

I've only seen two screenshots of really bad bleed - bleed that I would consider returning something for. I can only see mine on a back screen and that's not a typical usage scenario.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Haha I've already committed in mind to upgrade, but my phone hasn't sold on eBay. Had to relist it haha

Although now that the Galaxy S II reviews have come out, that one seems even more amazing...
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Where did you actually use an HTC Sensation? The release date that's rumored for sometime in the summer hasn't even been announced yet. How do you have one?
[Nexus One General] bigmout:
I'm now leaning toward the GS2 for the same reason. I just wish they'd get rid of that fake chrome plating on the bezel.
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
At work, as the Pyramid. I work for Vodafone here in Europe.
[Nexus One General] Lightning N1:
I made the leap and absolutely Love the G2x.

It feels great in your hand and I have been waiting a long time to find a phone that would feel as good and solid as the N1.

No doubt the Sensation will feel good (built well), but I think it will just be to big IMHO.

Already running CM7 (GRj22) 2.3.4 w/GTalk video calls on the G2x.

Switched from AT&T to T-Mobile too (Win Win) at least for a while:(
[Nexus One General] neozengar:
I am deciding right now.
[Nexus One General] Lightning N1:
Go for it, you won't know until you play with them:D

But

From Twitter this morning, Pual O'Brien from Modoco (He got his SGS II this morning):

Paul O'Brien ✓

The SGS II is the anti-Sensation. SGS II - ultra light plastics, so thin... Sensation = aluminium unibody tangible build quality...

and

@PaulOBrien

Paul O'Brien ✓

If someone handed you a SGS II turned off you'd think it's a display dummy... it's so light!

However:

@PaulOBrien

Paul O'Brien ✓

Hate to say it, but the general speed and responsiveness of the SGS II makes the O2X look a bit embarrassing. :-/

I guess that does not make things any easier does it:D
[Nexus One General] ericc191:
I upgraded from a G1 and returned it for a Nexus One off Craigslist for $200. The picture you see here is not from mine. The G2x I had was a nasty brown color coming from the top two corners. I exchanged two times and all three phones looked like ****. LCD bleed is a major issue for the G2x.
[Nexus One General] xxsashixx:
I don't get why a lot of people are ditching their N1s. Mine is pretty much still brand new and is still working like a champ.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Not everyone is ditching the N1 ;) at least not yet :D
[Nexus One General] josemedina1983:
Great device but I'm waiting for a Nokia Windows 7 device if I don't get one I'm for sure getting the Next Nexus that google brings out on the holidays or sooner.
[Nexus One General] crawler9:
My Nexus One is still in mint condition. It just felt like it was time to upgrade.

Sent from my N1. My G2x must be charging.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
For me, the digitizer made me rage once to often. It was curtains for it then :D
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
Digitizer spaz and screen size were biggest reasons for me. Keeping the N1 though for sure.
[Nexus One General] crawler9:
I'm getting extremely tired of backlight bleeding. Any level of bleeding is unacceptable for me. I use my Nexus One to watch movies while lying in bed... so while a lot of people don't mind the bleeding if it's minor, I see it every night when I use a G2x. I'm waiting on my 4th G2x to arrive. If this one has any issues... I don't know. I might roll back to the Nexus One and wait for something better. I might give it a couple more tries. We'll see.

So if you were to skip the G2x, what would you get (T-Mo is a must)?
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
HTC Sensation in a few months on tmob ;)
[Nexus One General] player911:
I made the switch and I love it. The hardest thing was going back to LCD but I'm happy as a clam. CM7 is still wonky (only 3rd release) but I feel right at home.

Screen bleed is mostly minor at best aside from a few rare occasions but whatever. The problem is the backlight is super super bright. Running on lowest setting compares to nexus one which at the default level it isn't visible.

The beveled screen (rounded sides) feel fantastic. The feel overall is a very solid phone... good weight.

I miss my trackball when typing but they are a thing of the past now.

Phone is fast and we should be getting an official 2.3.3 upgrade soon because its already being sent out for review.

It is already rooted with custom roms and kernels so we're good to go.

sent from LG G2x: CM7 2.3.4

http://MiiWiiChat.com

http://SnapSiteAdmins.com
[Nexus One General] crawler9:
It is bright. I love that! Easier to see in the sun too. But even at the lowest brightness levels, if I was in a dark place, bleed was visible on all of my handsets.

It doesn't have quite as solid a feel as my Nexus does... but I like both. The beveled screen is awesome.

Going back to my Nexus now, even though I was only away for little while, I find I barely ever use the trackball anymore

Is it definitely going to be 2.3.3? No 2.3.4 love here? Sadness...

Yeah, that's awesome. Easy access no matter what with NVFlash and no fugly lock icon.
[Nexus One General] kampf:
I did. 6 days later I returned.

Sensation should be a much better replacement.
[Nexus One General] bpm2000:
man i was ready to jump on 2x but all these issues are making me look towards the Sensation, and maybe even SG SII
[Nexus One General] Deathwish238:
I've been hearing nothing but good things about the G2x. No hassles for unlocking/rooting, stock android, great screen, good build...what else do I want?

If it had 1GB RAM and Dock Pins it'ld be perfect.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mkooner:
Just wanted to let you know I got my Asus transformer today, within 3 days of my order date. I ordered it off eBay from an twain merchant, he had it listed for $799 on Buy it Now, but i got it for $599 using the best offer button. That price including all shipping and I wasn't charged any tax or import fees. So anyways just let you all know if you want to buy one you can get it off eBay for $599 US including shipping and tax, and i got mine in 3days of the order!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neotekz:
or just wait until tues and save $200...even if you did order today it wouldnt come before tuesday anyways
[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
umm... release date is under 3 days... i'll take my warranty, thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dulanic:
I'd feel so stupid.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] juanaraya92679:
FYI I think square trade gives you better warranty than Bestbuy and you don't have to buy it in the U.S.. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RMXO:
True but if with BB, you can go to any store.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dan76:
and no guarantee you're getting the release version; it could be one of the CES earlier release models with the original hardware home button on the right and the hardware orientation lock switch. Who knows which firmware also.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neotekz:
you guys are planning on buying the extended warrant from bestbuy or where ever you get it from?

i think the T3rry1 was referring to manufacturer's warranty
[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
correct

warranty =/= return policy
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TimmyM:
Just called my local Best Buy, Said they are getting them on the 24th except they are closed for Easter but will have them on the Monday the 25th.
