[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
These are my opinions.

-Screen: Yes, some bleed more than others. I think this issue has been blown way out of proportion as it seems the majority of users have to manipulate screen brightness, environment and content displayed on the screen in order to show bleed.

-Data: I only have 2G in my area. When I'm out in 4G areas away from home, I just set the connection to force 4G data and it's smokin' fast, never drops.

-GPS: Most of the time it locks on instantly for me on any Froyo ROM. Sometimes it takes about 60 seconds. If it looks like it's going to take a while, I usually close Maps, open GPS Status & Toolbox to refresh the AGPS data and it'll lock solid again. This should be fixed as soon as Gingerbread drivers are available.

-Battery: Battery is up to par with other Android phones in my opinion. Seems better on any tweaked out Froyo or Gingerbread ROM.

-Integration: I don't use social network/contact integration so I can't even touch on this. Don't know how and not interested. Sorry.

-Build Quality: Good weight, doesn't feel cheap. Generally accepted that it has Gorilla Glass. I have a couple extremely light scratches on my screen, so it's probably a good idea to get a screen protector if you care about such things. I just haven't touched a screen protector I like so I don't use one. I've taken the back off about 15 times and there is now one spot on the phone that if I squeeze, it creaks a little bit. Can't tell with normal use and still feels solid.

-Speed: Stock ROM is a little sluggish but with a couple flashable mods, maybe a kernel, this phone is super fast. I don't even feel the need to overclock. Currently running EaglesBlood Froyo 1.05 with faux's froyo kernel at the time of this writing.

Hope some of this helps you out.

Edit: And with an unlocked bootloader, just flash recovery and start crackflashing away. Love not messing with bootloaders.

Add Randomly REFORMATS to the list. My phone has reformatted itself randomly three times now since i've had it. stock. Once it like forgot it had an OS and just kept looping itself and then installed the OS randomly. Badass phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
I can atest this also has happened to me. LG has a class action suit against them, you should all file your complaints.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k00zk0:
I made a thread about this because it could give insight as to whether there are deeper hardware issues that could lead to some of these software instabilities;

The 3.5 mm audio jack has very audible noise/hiss on it when the amplifier is turned on (up to 1 second after any sound finishes playing, such as after the tone you hear when changing the ringer volume). This should be completely inaudible if the circuit itself is designed properly and everything is shielded where it should be, and if the components related to power supply/filtering are working properly. If someone could test this (takes 5 seconds) with their good and faulty phones, stock or modded, it may demonstrate something.

More: non-reboot bugs. On pressing the power button to unlock the phone today (3 days since factory reset, 1.5 weeks since buying) the unlock slider is missing, except for the white triangle pointing to the right. Sliding it makes it appear and play the animation, and it appears next unlock.

Another random: Holding volume down until it is vibrating non-stop and then powering down the phone causes some apps to show and do random things after the power down animation plays, before the screen suddenly blanks.

I still urge owners of variably configured G2x's to test for the presence of noise as described in my thread- if LG has hardware problems instead of all software, not everything is safe by modding the ROM. Perhaps the noise is shoddy software coding. The DAC and opamps used here would not create that, only the circuit design.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mafioso:
Wow I was going to buy G2x. Can anybody answer about 4G data part who use it on regular basis? Is it really not reliable?

I was thinking of upgrading from HD2 to g2x mainly because of 4G and front camera, but if 4G is not properly working on this one, I have to select some different phone then..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thatwasntit:
I've got a Droid X(Froyo 2.2.1) phone that, after being deodexed using xUltimate, suddenly has problems running Google apps. I don't get any options for adding Google accounts; the Market app crashes immediately after launch; the phone keeps asking me on reboot to accept Google's location services, etc.. I've successfully deodexed a Droid X phone before and didn't get these problems.

Looking at the logcat output for the Market app crash, I found this:

After clicking "Agree" on the Google's location services terms of service prompt, I see this in the log:

Has anyone else seen this after deodexing? Would deodexing via a zip file work better?

Thanks in advance,

Raj

Never mind - I got it. I was able to deodex via a zip file that I'd found.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cervantesjc:
Have anybody noticed that when you download certain type of files on the phone the file type is incorrect.

Itried and download the widgets from the O2x on the general thread and they all downloaded as .txt instead of .apk and same for the backlight notifications the patch for deoex on the development section is corrupted everyone I download it.

Anybody else having this problem?

[Desire HD General] FiveInline:
So i'm using google maps/Latitude on my Desire HD , and it take quite some time to pinpoint my exact GPS location, but its too often some kilometers away from where i am.

For example my house, its almost always showing that im way off from where i really are, so i started up my good old HD2 with WM 6.5, and it took the HD2 5 SECONDS to get a correct gps fix!?! why is my Desire HD struggling with this?

The HD2 also have something called Quick GPS where i can download satellites from the internett, i havent found anything like this on Android Marked.

So, is the HD2 simply better on GPS, or what?
[Desire HD General] goofylad:
i find this too before the update when my DHD was standard (think it was about 1.74) i had no problems with GPS since i got an OTA update from tmobile to 1.82 or 1.84 my GPS went to completely useless, have since modded the ROM, kernal, radio and RIL but still having intermittant problems, hoping that its resolved soon!,

i have tried GPS status and reseting my AGPS and redownloading but still nothing sometimes my lock is within 10secs sometime 10mins
[Desire HD General] FiveInline:
yeah, sometimes (not often) it pinpoint my excact location at home, but usually it cannot! annoying, specially when i know the HD2 do not have this problem!

:(
[Desire HD General] djamorpheus:
On Market download Fasterfix and GPS status. In fasterfix, select europe (or wherever you are) ntp pool, in gps status, hit Menu and go to Tools and select Manage A-GPS state, reset and download. Go outside with gps status open and you'll get fixes :) enjoy. btw desire hd sucks for gps in the house unless you're really close to a window.
[Desire HD General] FiveInline:
that didnt help on the google location att all. the arrow in google maps is following me when i turn around, but still its off by 550meters (added my HD2 so i can see exact distance)
[Desire HD General] djamorpheus:
does wifi position you correctly on google maps?
[Desire HD General] Mr_JMM:
Sorry, I'm using XDA app and can't see sigs. What ROM, network etc. are you using??

As a general rule, there is nothing wrong with the DHD for GPS. This will more than likely be a network customisation or ROM issue.

Downloading GPS Status app and using that to see how many satellites are detected is a good suggestion too.

[Desire HD General] uros0104:
Try flashing a new radio, I use 26.08.03.07 and I get a fix in about 10 seconds...
[Desire HD General] Va_Alexander:
Yes you're right but only if you're outside without any clouds and so on... I get fix faster with latest radios but not as fast as iphone.. The real solution is not to turn off GPS when it is fixed but then the battery will go off quickly because when we lock the phone the GPS stops searching.... Simply HTC should think better about it and solve this problem finally!
[Desire HD General] FiveInline:
Using Revolution HD 3.6 with Radio_12.41.60.19_26.06.04.14_M

I'll try a new radio. today att work even outside with NO CLOUDS what so ever, it took a loooong time before i got a fix.

my mom got a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc with Android 2.3.2 today, and it got the location spot on in a mather of seconds!

EDIT: Radio_12.35d.60.140fU_26.08.03.07_M_Test is now Flashed! i'll test it tomorrow!
[Desire HD General] FiveInline:
New radio is working great!!! I now get gps lock within 10 seconds! How can it be such a big difference?
[Desire HD General] Va_Alexander:
I think HTC changes somehow the algorithm for processing GPS signal. I flashed yesterday latest for GB radio and it is also big difference... So we can only guess why HTC need so much tries to make it good...
[Desire HD General] FiveInline:
I was a little fast on the trigger there!

It seems that i still have trouble, strange, becouse it worked like a charm earliger today, then i started to drive home from work, and suddenly now GPS lock att all!

So, new Radio again!:(
[Desire HD General] FiveInline:
im now on Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 with Android Revolution HD 5.1.0 with Gingerbread. so gingerbread rom+radio.

i now got lock instant even inside. so i'll test it today and report back. seems promising so far.

Aside from the HTC Incredible 2 and the Samsung Droid Charge coming out tomorrow, are there any other phones that will be released within the next week or 2? I'm asking because I have until the 8th of May to exchange my current Thunderbolt phone for something else through Best Buy Mobile. Was planning to pick between the 2 tomorrow but of anything else better comes out by the 8th i'd like to wait on it.

Not anything besides those two coming out before the 8th as far as I know. Except for that new Casio android phone.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigmille:
Hi all,

I'm going to play with the Xoom at Carphone warehouse tomorrow. My main concerns are the overall ergonomic and screen quality.

If I'm happy with the Xoom, I'll buy it for £130 and 5GB of data per month for 24 months with Talk mobile at £25p/m.

My main concern is I never used Talk mobile before and would like some input about there data coverage in the UK please? I'm located in north London area.

Many thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allnutts:
It uses vodaphones network so coverage seems quite good! I get 6mb download speed in my house (knowsley 10 miles from Liverpool city) yet barely get a phone signal at all on my android phone! Downside is Vodaphone have an 'adult content control' which stop you from accessing some. Completely innocent sites and talkmobile told me they can only lift it after 3 months! I've not been able to access some news sites either... I wouldn't mind but even if I was looking for porn, why would I have to wait 3 months? Does that make any difference? Will the xoom have cleansed my muddy soul by then?? ;-)

Anyway back on topic... its been great signal for me so far... even got gprs on a campsite surrounded by hills in Wales...

I apologize in advance if I missed any granular detail, And You follow this steps at own RISK.

The Goal of this post is to give logical order to the perfect spl issue.

All the credit goes to each and every person/project/page mentioned in this post.

I have not developed any of the methods mentioned :)

I attached the SuperOneClickv1.8-ShortFuse, the other files can be found of the respective websites.

Step 1 :

MAKE A BACKUP :)

Step 2:

see http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Magic_(32A):_Rooting_(6.35.x_radio) - Preparing the device option 1.

Use SuperOneClickv1.8-ShortFuse to get shell root access

run SuperOneClick.exe

Click on : Shell root

If success full continue

Step 3:

http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/amon_ra/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

>adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard

>adb shell

>su

>flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

Step 4:

http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/magic/SPL/update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip

>adb push update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip /sdcard

Step 5:

>adb shell reboot recovery

Reboot into recovery and select "update from sdcard" and select "update-hboot-1.76.2007-signed.zip"

Congratulagtions :) the perfected SPL is now a thing of the past

You can now use the Fastboot method to flash the new radio as mentioned by Cyanogen or the RadioswitchGUI.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoninja118:
I'm rooted running debloated/debinged EB01 with SC 2.9.2 nonvoodoo and nitsuj's Gingerbread theme. I have been running SC themeless for a while now and never had a problem, but recently flashed over a theme and now none of my widgets will update i.e. music, clocks, feeds, weather etc. I've tried reflashing SC and then the theme a few times and still no solution. Could it maybe be the theme thats stopping the syncing? Won't work with auto-sync on or off and most widgets won't even manually update... I just remembered that I read it was not necessary to wipe cache/dalvik before flashing theme, just do it right over superclean... Maybe this is the cause?

The new Community ROM has a lot of Gingerbread theming in it. I flashed over SC 2.9.2 without a data wipe and have been running fine so far. My last data wipe was a couple of weeks ago.

[General Topics] MartyLK:
Although I enjoyed the data speed of T-Mobile, I am glad I am no longer paying a charge to them. This business with their future phones is a sign of how un-serious they take their consumer business. And because of that, they do deserve the lack of business their decisions will cause.

Not producing phones that will fully function of AT&T's 3G/4G service is just pure willy-nilly ignorant and T-Mobile needs to feel the heat of their ignorance. The so-called "super phone" coming to T-Mobile, the HTC Sensation, will be a no-seller because of how T-Mobile chooses to conduct their business.

Interesting. i wonder what they do when and if the merger goes through, what then ? do they run to platforms and try to merge over 2 years ? That will totally toast them in business and will lower market share........... Yeah..... What is their plan ? :rolleyes:
[General Topics] N8ter:
Yea, I'm thinking of switching back to AT&T as well. Will get a phone that works as long as I need it to, and much better network coverage. Data speeds aren't that big a deal to me, as long as it's around 2mbps download 1mbps up I'm more than content...

And I can still get a 4GB data plan with an iPhone if I go back...
[General Topics] djdanska:
Not too concerned here. 2 of my 3 t-mobile devices fully support at&t's 3g and 4g bands. Just my hd2 will need to be replaced, and that's years away. Not worried.

edit: And phones are planned many months if not a year (or more) in advance. The at&t - t-mobile merger most likely wasn't even in the outlook when they made that phone in the first place.
[General Topics] Step666:
Well, that's assuming that the merger goes through.

And even if it does, it's not T-Mobile themselves who produce the phones, they can only buy what the manufacturers are selling.

Plus you seem to be confusing ignorance with short-sightedness.
[General Topics] TheMan42:
MOD EDIT :Keep cool, no need to be rude.
[General Topics] tmotechsupport:
+1

Why would you invest extra money into adding a whole new radio into a handset if there is no garuntee that the merger will go through? The next complaint/answer would be "tmo's handsets are sooo needlesly expensive". Probably because someone thought it was a good idea to put unecassary hardware in a phone you probably wont even remember when (if?) the merger goes through.

I get calls like this all the time, if the service doesnt work for you i completely understand- Please find another service because getting the same whiney call day in and day out costs t mobile that much more money keeping an unhappy customer.

Let me be clear id rather handle 10000 calls about our coverage and service then silly reasons like this, you dont need to justify your reason to leave a carrier.. just leave.
[General Topics] TheMan42:
To be honest, that came off a little strong, but I still feel it was justified. The Original post should be re-read, then see what was more flame-bait. My statement was the truth, it was "ignorant". Ignorance isn't an insult, its simply stating the the post has no merit into what T-Mobile is doing with their products.

T-Mobile still remains a competitor to AT&T, why would they start to have manufacturers incorporate further frequencies in their devices that support the competitors products? I don't see AT&T doing that with their products, nor Verizon or Sprint.
[General Topics] mikzfan:
Interesting. And maybe of interest to me. Someone from t mobile has been hard on my heels to switch from sprint to t mobile. She countered every advantage i thought sprint had: pricewise, 4g coverage etc. If I did not switch yet, cause I am a creature of habits and stick to sprint cause: it is what I started with.

[General Topics] Product F(RED):
Actually Sprint and Verizon both work on the same 2 frequencies. We're allowed to roam on Verizon as much as we want, included in the plan (there's no hard limit, but don't overuse it), and Verizon customers get to roam on Sprint.
