[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdwagner:
I know this is sarcasm, crossed with a political statement, spliced with some frustration with newbies. But for me it comes off as a dig at the OP.

The nvflash discussion has been had elsewhere, however as an android modding newbie, following Roebeet's NV flash tutorial (due to his constant encouraging) has made mucking around with my Gtab 10x more enjoyable, knowing that I have a way to easily start from scratch. And it's near impossible to set up nvflash in a hurry after you have soft bricked.

Josh, the tutorial above is excellent, and it will certainly get you to where you want to go. But if you hit one of the gtab landmines (trying out 1.1 to 1.2 for example) nvflash will be your best friend.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
On the contrary, I stand behind 100% what I said. Like I said before, I fix computers as a side job to bring in an extra dollar or two to go out and party... I mean to pay my bills. Most people, when it comes to computers and gadgets, like to whine more than they like to enjoy their machines. I'm sure apple's got a whole division specializing in dealing with whiners since they already got an army of whiners.

Whiners have nothing to do with being a newbie or not. It's got to do with the spoon-feed-me attitude. Over the months, I have seen complaints about the gtab by dedicated whiners. Everything from "it's .3 lb heavier than the ipad which makes it too heavy!" to "why you no give me honey!" Frankly, neither VS nor this community is properly equipped to deal with whiners. Why not send them to apple and let it be apple's problem?

I'd like to think I'm a resourceful person. When I see a problem, instead of complaining I try to find a solution. I see the gtab as an investment. So, instead of just watching videos on it I have incorporated it into my daily work. I crinch in pain every time I see people whine before they even tried to find a solution. So, why not send them to apple?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdwagner:
I don't mind it for the true whiners, but since you post this everywhere it looks like your trying to fend off any and all new users who have questions. The subtext of "get an iPad" is 'you can't handle this and we don't really want you here.'

That said, your post above went above and beyond to help out the OP. Your a mystery to me goodintentions ;)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
okay thanks a lot. i read in the clem+calk ROM thread that some people used CWM, the most recent version, not the .8 version which i have been using. is that correct? or should i use the .8 version?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
so all the steps say to download this stuff to your sd card, but i cant actually access my microsd card from CWM. i can only access the folder called SDCARD which is actually my internal memory. should i still download it there? is there another way to access my microSD from CWM? is it okay to leave it on the sdcard folder which is my internal drive?

thanks again!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Your sdcard is your internal space. The microsdcard is called sdcard 2. Cwm only access your sdcard which is your internal.

well this title says it all... I dowloaded beast gameloft games like dungeon hunters 2 and Asphalt 6 and download all the data and they just return to homescreen after video.. it's not a free memory problem or a graphics issue... I'm running cracked and uncracked version of the apk's but no luck can someone port some games over or tell me how to run these games or any help really.. btw I can play some games like dungeon hunters 1

[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Should i give it another go? I have 12 days left from purchase date and ive been thru 3 devices all with diff issues or old issues plus some. Im pass irritated. Never dealt with this with any device. Im bout to throw in the towel. Think ima get a.full refund tomorrow. Sucks because I actually like the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
If you're that irritated and you think you should get a full refund then you should get a full refund. Not sure why people love to make posts asking what they should do lol. If you're not happy with it, then you're not happy with it. If getting a refund is what will satisfy you then do that. It isn't divorcing your wife, it's refunding a phone. It really doesn't have to be hard at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
something that would make me happy is a fully functional g2x. honestly a refund wont make me happy. because now ill be forced to use a blackberry until i find a device.

and i make post because sometimes i like 2nd opinions. im sure im not the only one stuck between a rock and a hard place with this device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashman3000:
Well, for some divorcing is easier than parting with gadgets they love ;) ...but seriously, as long as you don't have any backlight bleed issues, y don't you wait n try out the cm7 or other roms and hopefully the gingerbread update will fix a lot of sw issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
i have very minimal backlight bleeding. in two corners but real minor. not like my 1st which look like the whole screen was bleeding through.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kadenstern:
I don't see how people are so unhappy with the phone. I have backlight bleeding as most people do, but it doesn't bother me at all. The screen is plenty bright for me, crisp enough for me, definitely fast enough for me. And I've owned quite a few phones, this is by far the best. I would exchange the phone 5,000 times before I picked another phone on T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
did you pay full price or get a contract. yeah this is the best phone but everytime i turn around its something software wise thats making the phone less of a powerhouse. never had so many hiccups with a device and i've owned plenty. personally im tired of constantly running to the tmobile store to get a new one and it has the same things wrong with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
Agreed I think ill just keep returning g2xs till I get one that isn't as bad as my last 3.... Charlie you should do the same I mean the HTC sensation looks retaredly close to all of there phones and the sgs2 Will have some Samsung flaws... don't give up.... fixes will come and once better more stable roms/kernel's. Come out you'll fall in love with the phone all over again just like I did with my vibrant!

If you really have that many problems tell T-Mobile and they will give u some sort of retention
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kadenstern:
I paid full price. What issues are you having? Either I don't have them, or they're not that big of a deal to me. I got a bad HDMI cord that friend my phone so I have a replacement coming, and am only getting about 6 hours max on my battery now, and I'd still use this everyday, as is, then go back to my MyTouch 4G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I say that you should keep it. It is a great phone, and I am very optimistic about all this issues getting resolved. the most annoying to me is the battery drain. I would like it to at least last for a day with basic usage, like Phone calls, text, web-broswing, games. I mean i use my phone a lot, but my SGS4G seemed to last longer than this one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
i wanna hang in there but its a b****.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
battery last 6hrs tops even with setcpu. constant signal fail. cant do any browser downloads. minimal screen bleed which doesnt bother me. had some reboots.

i honestly miss my mytouch. i gave it up for this phone and im starting to regret it. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
the phone is great dont get me wrong but jeez. it just seems like its one thing after another. i never returned a phone so many times to run into more issues. im glad the only hardware issue is minimal. software issues will definitely be fixed i know. its just aggravating because of the money i put out. i paid retail for my nexus s and my mytouch and didnt have one issue with either. and this phone is suppose to be better. i cant tell right now. besides the speed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kadenstern:
Well if my sister doesn't want my MyTouch, I may have one for you lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
ill keep that in mind. im doing some shopping around for one now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
well just unrooted and put back to stock. ill make my decision in the morning whether if im doing a full refund or taking the plunge and getting another g2x.....decisions decisions

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
The date floating around for the Sensation's release is June 8; that's only five weeks away. If Gingerbread's not out before then and it doesn't address some of the phone's flakiness, I'm getting the Sensation. The screen shots of the baseband in the Gingerbread preview thread show it to be the same that we have. Maybe LG can correct some of the issues via SW but I'm thinking some of the problems are in the radio which may not be fixed via the update. I like the G2X but constantly dealing with connectivity (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 2/3/4G) issues is getting old.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
God I love this phone and I have 2, no issues.....

Had a n1 and vibrant still and this kills it....

This forum seems crazy to me cause I think this phone is perfect..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dmattox:
I feel your pain charlieb620. I purchased this phone and was disappointed by the number of software(?) bugs I encountered. As I posted on T-Mobile's forum, I returned the phone, but they charged me a restocking fee (wtf?).

As BarryH_GEG said, some of the issues might not be software and I didn't want to be stuck with a device to find out its a radio issue.

I hope you have better luck getting a full-refund for this buggy device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I travel - a lot. One thing I've observed with the other T-Mobile phones I've had (HD2, G2) is that different parts of the country interact differently with the phone's radio. I don't know whether it's from acquisitions, partial changes in technology, or different tower configurations. I had to get rid of the HD2 because T-Mobile stopped updating the radio and data no longer worked in Southern Texas or Louisiana. The G2 was a bit weird sometimes in the same areas but worked flawlessly at home. When people are in different parts of the country or travel a lot to different T-Mobile markets their experiences may be different than yours. It doesn't mean they are hypochondriacs. There's enough posts complaining about connectivity issues (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 2/3/4G) to convince me (along with my personal experiences) that something very real is wrong with the phone. Especially when we're all using the same ROM and radio.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dacaveman:
I had several issues with my G2x. It would need a battery pull every hour or so. I put the eagles blood rom on the phone last night. I haven't had a single issue since. My battery life also improved. I would try putting a rom before returning it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Im running eagleblood now. Ill give it another day or two
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Thats the main thing for me. It constantly drops to 2G. But eagleblood is helping as far as battery life somewhat. If I decide to return ill contest the restocking fee. ur not taking ten dollars from me for your crappy device
[T-Mobile LG G2x] okplaya:
I'm in the Philly area and I'm not having any issues dropping to 2G if that means anything. I think the phone is pretty cool.

In general, it seems that folks have unrealistic expectations for cell phones nowadays. I'm okay knowing that every phone will have flaws and that something bigger and better will always come out shortly after. That's just how the game goes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icecicle04:
yea i got 2 days left for my 14 so im going for a full return today just because the one i just got Fridays wifi's not working anymore idk why i tried roms and restarts but i get the same unable to connect message . . but I'm going to use my v360 (sucks so bad) for a week then buy it again cause after the 14 days i'd have to start calling tmo and have them send me a new phone n all that i just don't wnna have to go thru with all that so hopefully after hell week with my moto and the new two weeks imma get everything will be fine cause i can't go back to a different phone at this stage now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Feel your pain

i sold my mytouch . bought a bb tour for $50 used that. bought a g2x had problems day one took it back that was ok till i notice flickering and screen bleed too that back and now this one is doing ok now that i flashed a new rom. before my battery was draining fast and i was barely using it. now i have setcpu and eaglesblood and im getting faster speed transitions and better life.

im still gonna eventually trade this for the sensation. unless they port over the rom. i know the g2x is pretty much early in the rom game. only been out for almost 2 weeks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I understand. I have two days left on my return period. The damn phone has trouble down loading simple email. No 3g. Horrible messed up battery. Long list of major issues. Is CM7 going to magically repair all the major defects with this phone? Why do companies keep releasing half baked crap phones?

Anyone?

I would hate to be stuck with a useless paper weight. Had to go back to my HD2 for email. Say what you want about windows, but at least it functions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
give eagleblood a try. helped me give the phone a couple more days. im sure cm7 will cure alot of issues. im honestly waiting for a new radio. hopefully with this gingerbread update itll fix some network issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] luce.douglas:
I've followed all the Psx4droid tutorials and have used it on my other android devices and it works fine, but the same psx images and same version of psx4droid don't load on this phone. I'm using the same bios that works on my other devices. Any get this working?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rich2thad:
I have it but wasn't sure how to use it so I haven't yet

I have been stuck on my n64oid
[T-Mobile LG G2x] luce.douglas:
Fpse has great support for it, couldn't get psx4droid working at all but seems like fpse is better anyway. I used fpse on my htc hd2 before I put android on it and it worked great on it too. Does n64oid work well on the g2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
N64oid plays Super Mario 64 flawlessly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] superevo89:
There is a N64 emulator on the market? :eek: I don't see it in the market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
The Dev removed it, you'll have to do some searching.

I couldn't get psx4droid to run but fpse runs resident evil nemisis perfect

damn talk about a classic. i was kinda hooked on zenonia for a few days but im gonna have to look into this!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
It's glorious! I do wish I had the version of psx4droid that I had on my nexus back in the day since it didn't have sound delay.

The latest beta on zodttd's site has around a 1 second sound delay. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
aww bummer. im gonna need fei's combos to match the sound. lol ill post if i can find one without the delay.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] superevo89:
Anyone know a good website to get psx roms I tried the usual roms sites and it's always the wrong file type like a .7z when I need a .bin .img or .iso type.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
I found a download of v1.7, but I can't get my iso to load up on it. I think I have a bad iso.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I thought someone posted a link to psx4droid that worked on the G2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
I can't get any game to boot, I get a crash no matter what BIOS I use. What older version is everybody else using?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
I had it working on the new 3.0.7 beta version.

I haven't been able to get the older version 1.7 to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
ok so i got my copy of xenogears and i found an older copy of psx4droid 1.7.it plays but goes from 60 fps to around 45-50 while doing anything remotely graphics heavy. i.e rotating screen while running on world map. im gonna try 3.0.5 or any other version to see if its better.

edit: correction version 1.1.2

just tried 3.0.5. doesnt even load at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
What about sound lag on 1.7? Was it there?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
ok so after trying a bunch of different versions of psx4droid i couldnt get any to work however I did come accross one that works almost flawlessly!! give FPse a try. ill post a vid in a sec of it running. my bad in advance for the shaky/crappy camera. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
it sure was :(

I have this app as well, but I think my image file is corrupt.

P.s. You have a PM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
no prob. although this IS pretty awesome i think i might just buy xenogears on psn and call it a day lol. i mean i COULD hook up my phone to the tv thru the hdmi out but that seems like a bit much.ill have to look into some more suitable ps1 games to play :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
I like to play on the john or in the airport, so these emulators work wonders!

I actually put in enough hours to get a 100% completion on FF7 on psx4droid.

Breath of Fire 3 is a good quick rpg.

Vandal hearts was a fun strategy rpg. (never tested this one on the emulator though.)

If course calevania SoTN will always be a classic.

wow thats quite impressive! i imagine ill be putting in some work as well. 2 words....chrono trigger or should i say final fantasy chronicles :D

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ansleyj44:
So I am primarily a mac user (yeah, yeah) and have been for years. I haven't used anything windows in 10+ years, but I just got a netbook today that I've upgraded to windows 7 ultimate. I have flashed several roms, but never flashed back to stock mainly because there isn't as much out there on heimdall and honestly didn't want to bother with bootcamp.

I guess I'm wondering if anyone has used ODIN on a netbook, or if it would be inadvisable to do so?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
The fact that your computer is classified as a netbook is unrelated to whether or not Odin or Heimdall run. It's usually just a matter of USB port quality on both the PC and the phone itself.

Nonetheless both Heimdall and Odin should run fine in Windows 7 on your netbook.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FreydNot:
I always use my Acer Asprie netbook when I need to use odin. It is running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit, but I'm sure Win 7 Ultimate will work just as well.

I prefer to use my netbook over my several windows desktop computers because it is very portable and the battery will run for many hours. Consider it a built in UPS. If I lose house power during a flash, I can rest assured that odin will continue working on battery power.

It's also nice to be able to continue using my main desktop PC while odin is doing it's thing by my side.

You can rest assured and odin to your hearts content.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poxxy:
I use ODIN on my Win7 ASUS netbook every time and it works like a charm.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lidroid:
do you ensure you have installed the driver correctly?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seedofchaos:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
This happens to me too, that's why I usually end up back on a sense ROM. Do you use a lock screen widget? Im thinking that might have something to do with it. I wasusing no lock, and it was doing that real bad, I removed the widget and wake up seems to be behaving normally now.

Edit: I too am using a savage kernel, I'll flash a different one and see if I still have the problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Try turning these on. Go to settings, then cyanogenmod settings, then display.
