[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
The OP is right - if the phone can't do the basics it's pretty much useless no matter how fast the processor is. In his situation, when Wi-Fi dropped, the phone should have failed over to 2/3/4G. To have a slew of calls, e-mails, and texts not make it through means the phone was off the network entirely.

We're all big boys and girls and know that no electronic device is perfect. The G2X is just plain erratic. The problems are intermittent, not consistently repeatable, and can screw up using the phone for basic communication in the process.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are a mess - especially the way they interact with the 2/3/4G and the different apps loaded and pre-loaded on the phone.

Here's my list of issues:

1) Wi-Fi loses signal even though the task bar indicator shows full strength.

2) Apps turn on 2/3/4G even when Wi-Fi is enabled.

3) Wi-Fi Calling enables itself randomly shutting down all other data. If item 1 occurs the outcome is what happened to the OP - the phone's off the network.

4) The task indicator's always showing 4G whether it's connected at 4G or not and the signal strength shown isn't accurate - sometimes it's optimistic sometimes it's pessimistic.

5) The Bluetooth profile appears and disappears randomly and doesn't show at all if Bluetooth is turned off.

6) Wi-Fi won't connect to anything less than a strong signal but will hold the connection if it weakens. If you try to connect to a weak signal it disables the profile of the device it's trying to connect to.

If you look at the post count of the people that are having connectivity issues they're fairly senior members and have owned a lot of high-end phones. I've played around with two demo units at two different T-Mobile stores and most of what I've detailed above is repeatable. If you aren't a heavy Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or outside connectivity user and/or don't depend on your phone's reliability for business some or all of this may not matter to you or you may not experience it. But, choose to accept it or not, this phone (and not my particular unit) has some serious stability problems.

I like the phone and I'm sure that because of the severity and quantity of the problems that there will be an update soon. That's the reason I'm keeping it. If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that T-Mobile needed something newsworthy to show they're still viable as a stand-alone entity after the AT&T acquisition was announced. They rushed this phone to market to generate buzz and it shows.

I've had no issues with this device but my post count is pretty low :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Out of curiosity, how do you use your phone? Are you using Exchange push? Wi-Fi calling to make and receive calls from foreign counties? Responding to Twitter and Facebook posts on behalf of a 10K person company? Connecting to a Cisco Bluetooth conferencing speaker system to hold multi-party conference calls? Do you average 8GB of data (not songs and movies) a month? Is your average monthly bill over $300?

I don't mean to be *****y, but after playing with three random samples of this phone I find it hard to believe that there could possibly be a perfect specimen out there as the majority of this is caused by software and we're all using the exact same ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Your radio must have failed completely since voice calls and SMS don't require a data connection to Tx or Rx. I seem to have no problem connecting to weak WiFi signals. I never leave WiFi enabled unless I'm browsing or downloading so I can't speak on the long-term effects of staying connected to an AP for any length of time.

These seem like software issues to me so I wouldn't worry about it too much. There will be an official update soon and probably a good amount of roms to come. For now, I suggest toggling WiFi on only while actively using data.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
If you need all this from a phone, you should not be an early adopter.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
I'm a business owner so I push my device pretty hard. Exchange push, plus multiple other push accounts through K-9. Wifi calling placed and received from China, although I prefer normal network for that. I definitely pushing at least 5gb/month and my monthly bill is atrocious.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Irishdoom:
I don't know why you'd be using a just-released phone with such a laundry-list of business requirements, either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Yea the lovely iphone couldn't do MMS or exchange for 3 years. They still don't have a native Facebook app.

Anyway, I replied to this thread before but it was lost to the server being funny.

But what happened is quite logical and working properly. WiFi calling and WiFi Sleep policy are both set a default setting which saves the most battery. Using them both in tandem would require set and testing, which obviously wasn't done.

So really you can not blame the phone for the WiFi shutting down after X period of inactivity and WiFi Calling going stale.

I average about 6-7mb a month of pure data (I don't download anything on my phone except a rare occasion) in addition to what I use on WiFi. It is working great for me. Sure I'm not tethering a Cisco Bluetooth Speaker, but whatever.

I've used WiFi Calling on my Nexus One and it seems much more stable then I'm used to. WiFi calling is not a cellular repeater and depending on traffic may impede performance.

I do suspect there are odd/missing bluetooth profiles though. But lucky for us the kernel was already released so it will get fixed by the great developers here if not by Tmobile/LG themselves.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Adequately tested, there should be no problem. The G2X is considered an "Enterprise Class" device which means it's recommended for National and Multi-National accounts. I had one of the first HD2's and G2's and didn't use them any differently and had no problems with core functionality. There's a big difference between quirky behavior and not being able to function as a phone which was the complaint posted by the OP.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Wi-Fi Calling is terrific and a feature that sets T-Mobile apart. I used it heavily on my G2 and it was pretty reliable. There is no setting to make it default to "on" yet out of the box it enabled itself and it's randomly enabled itself a couple of times when the phone's been up for hours. It hard-locks the 2/3/4G data signal to off so if the phone's drops Wi-Fi it's basically off the network. The app's supposed to revert to 2/3/4G in the absence of a Wi-Fi signal when you have the setting checked as "Wi-Fi Preferred" which it only does randomly.

So, if in the middle of the night, Wi-Fi Calling enabled itself on the OP's phone and then lost the Wi-Fi signal it was basically off the network. I've seen Wi-Fi Calling enable itself on my phone and the two in the store. I'm assuming it's the same version of the app that's on the G2 so, again, there's something flaky with LG's implementation of Wi-Fi, the 2/3/4G radio, or both.

I'm only belaboring this because of people saying "it's your phone" or "it's got to be hardware." This phone has issues with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth that need to be corrected.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] DannyBiker:
Well, I guess it's all in the title, isn't ? It might sound like a strange question but there's a ROM I'd like to try but I don't like its theme. As it is CM7 based, I thought I could just apply a stock theme through ThemeChooser.

Or maybe I could extract the theme .apk from a Cyanogen rom ?

Question for you all. Is the HDMI port on the Asus Transformer micro or mini HDMI? Nearly all the online reviews I've seen say it was micro HDMI but the Asus facebook says mini HDMI.

Just trying to buy my HDMI cable ahead of time and didn't want to buy the wrong cable. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HideYoKids:
Based on the pictures, looks mini to me..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
the tigerdirect bundle is transformer + mini HDMI cable so I assume it's mini.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dt34:
Meh, figured as much. Was trying to be anticipatory and bought a micro HDMI instead based on all the online reviews saying it was micro. I'll just order a mini this time, at least monoprice cables are dirt cheap.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czm:
Its mini. I bought a cable for £2 from Amazon. Works perfectly.

[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
Ive had my Vibrant since its release on July 15th, this is my second device because a few hours out of the box it just bootlooped.

I love it, and i love the dev community thats here for it, but im tired of hearing people complain about stock updates that their not gonna use. "samsung doesnt update their devices", "This is my last samsung phone"...Are you serious? Why complain when you've had an awesome dev community since the start. People know their not going to run stock but the complain anyway. Imo, I think people are just jumping on the Samsung Hate bandwagon. This is an awesome phone and community, And our Vibrants still murder more than half the Android Comp on stock 2.1, you guys saw the youtube reviews right?.

Why dont we give more praise instead of more ungreatfullness because this just sickens me.

"AND IM NOT CRYING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLES CRYING, IM SIMPLY STATING THAT ITS VERY UNNECESSARY TO CRY WHEN YOU DONT HAVE TO"

PLEASE EVERYONE FIND YOUR FAVORITE GREAT (DEVS/THEMERS & AND GENERAL HELPFUL PEOPLE) AND PM THEM A THANKS FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK
[Vibrant General] dpaul007:
Agreed. This is my first android phone and will be keeping it for a long time. Devs have been awesome, but you will always have people who ***** and complain. It's just the nature of the beast.
[Vibrant General] Abu-7abash:
Well said. This is a beast of a phone when run on custom roms, and our amazing devs are doing some great stuff to double the performance. Kudos to them. But some people simply live to whine and ***** around in their daily life let alone an internet forum.

Love this Vibrant and this great community behind it.
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
One of the reasons i think sammy doesnt update is because they dont stand a chance vs our dev field so why bother you kno?
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
wait what? I'm sure as hell you know why we don't have a stable gingerbread rom.
[Vibrant General] Mdtolic:
I love my Vibrant also. My phone does EVERYTHING that I could want a pocket sized computer to do; and it does it fast and it does it on a beautiful screen. The folks who have taken the time and energy to mod this rad device are plain and simply: awesome. Thanks to everyone at <TW> and EDT (my favs) for tweaking my phone in ways that I never could. Thanks to all who have worked on this device and produced a dozen + other ROMS. And thank you to the new Devs who are willing to continue tinkering with their own, hard earned, phones for the benefit of us all.

[Vibrant General] mugenfiji0327:
Yeah and you 2 are probably some of the whiners he is talking about. If you don't have anything positive to contribute to his post then don't comment. He made a very valid statement. I haven't been a member for long, but I have seen many threads that were either titled something about never buying samsung again or whining about not getting stock updates. So unless you have something constructive to contribute to this thread then don't come in and bash him for just trying to point out that the phone is awesome and that people are worried about stock updates when they don't even use them
[Vibrant General] Master&Slave™:
Disagree. This post has to reasons. To get people to see how great their phone is and to get them to be grateful for all the hardwork here in xda.
[Vibrant General] VICosPhi:
Agreed, the phone is great and still can be considered in top 5 phones out there. However I will like stock gingerbread for the sake of GPS drivers and Voodoo Kernel.
[Vibrant General] regP:
I never said his statement was invalid. I'm simply pointing out that threads like this often turn into flaming etc. People posting hate threads are a problem on this forum. People replying to those threads with flaming is also a problem. People posting thread that are prone to start flame wars are also a problem. Threads like this pop up all the time and more often than not it ends up being a flame war. I agree with the OP. People should take the phone for what it is or stfu and leave. But making this forum better isnt just about shutting down flamers when they start crap.. its also about not feeding their raging and/or posting things that invite them to start trouble. Constructive enough for you?

If you haven't been here for long than maybe you have yet to see the pattern. And maybe you should at least thing about what I said in my initial post before resorting to insults. While your at it, I invite you to find a single post of me whining about anything. Because I promise you wont.
[Vibrant General] CrazyCharlie:
When Samsung releases updates then our devs can tear them down and make them better. Without that source code it's very difficult to make the custom roms that are so friggin awesome. This is why we don't have a totally stable and working 2.3 rom out yet, and we probably won't until Samsung makes the stock 2.3 upgrade available.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Haha, nice man.
[Vibrant General] I Phone Killer:
thanks for all the hard work yall saved me when i somehow erased everything on my phone and was stuck in cwm
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
I, personally, have nothing to hate on the phone about..

We all complained for 2.2, but knew that our roms that we already have are FASTER and BETTER, when we did get 2.2 stock, no one used it, it was used by devs to probably put a few things in their roms, but after that, its gone.

The GPS sucks, i get it, thats their fault, they made a mistake, other companies have before as well (Apple with their antenna) I don't use GPS i have a GPS so i use that instead of my phone.

Besides that, i can complain for probably... no flash for the camera, but thats it.

MY phone is PERFECT, with the devs all that hard work, and i'm talking about the REAL devs, not the fags who theme and call themselves devs.

(no offence to themers at all, themes are themes, and are not meant to be a full rom, with the exception of Jellette's Bi-Sidekick ofc, it had to be a new rom even though its a theme)

I, Thank you all developers for sticking with us through the hard time that Samsung has given the devs by not releasing the source code, etc.

Thank you.

Just a wee note to remind people to keep it friendly. It's becoming a bit of a habit having to close threads like this because of childish and inappropriate behaviour.

[Vibrant General] JIH10:
Agreed! Good points!
[Vibrant General] chirantan.f:
people complain about updates cuz without sammy updating, we dont get all the drivers, see thr GB situation, devs can only do so much, but without GB source for vibrant we cant have working GPS on any GB ROMS, no matter how good a dev is, so yeah sammy updates come into the picture even though no ones going to use them.
[Vibrant General] SamVib:
Why I'm complaining? Because I have every right to do so.

With Samsung releasing updates we can have a updated base to work with. That means developers can release stable Gingerbread Roms. Think about Bionix GB, Tigger 2.3.2, and CM7 w/ GPS.
[Vibrant General] leocreo:
This obviously isn't their first phone but the first series where they attempt to take on every market. If something can go wrong it always will, but as a competitive product its a great start. Can only imagine how they build on this with the Gen 2 cycle.

I agree, it is; but Sprint used to get me 1.5+ Mbps EASY. That was up until Fall 2010, AFTER I bought a EVO in June and extended my contract. I had no reason to complain about Sprint then, I do now. For the sake of keeping things simple, I wont be making sudden changes until at least June. Gives time for:

A) ETF to come down.

B) Free up my other lines on other carriers.

C) To see if Sprint actually does anything soon.

There's nothing ridiculous about complaining when you sign a contract while there's good service and then a couple of months later getting about a third of what you used to get. At least I have no problem potentially/eventually paying a ETF and switching, some people can't afford the fee or paying higher prices so they are stuck in that bad situation.
