[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
I'll be damned...

In an attempt to preemptively find out what I would need to return the accessories I ordered for the phone just in case I took the plunge and returned the phone, I was on hold with T-Mobile...

And while on hold, I grabbed my phone - and SURE ENOUGH - LOCKED UP HARD!

So, I guess this just made up my mind for me - I'll be returning this phone to point of purchase. Just need to use NAND to restore the stock backup , reflash stock recovery and unroot...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ikm19:
I am planing to return this phone too..

It seems the phone shut down completely for no reason, sometimes the screen doesn't wake up even tho phone is running in background.

So far i have tried to run completely stock with no apps installed no sync nothing and i was getting battery like 6-7 hrs.

I guess that was not acceptable for me.

I might have to wait till HTC Sensation comes out. What you think guys ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Slappy00:
Mine works fine, no problems at all, yes the screen bleeds a bit, but I can deal with that.

awesome phone, much better than my atrix
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jalshah05:
+1 Mine also works amazing... and a lotttt better than atrix.... :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
That's where my money is going...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prod1702:
my understanding is the sensation is locked down that's why cyan isn't going to get it. Which also means no dev support.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
The MyTouch 4G and G2 were locked down too... Unless they are going to lock the bootloader?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
HTC announced an update to the Sensation in Q3 that will include a NFC chip to match the features of the SGS2. I'm also guessing they'll increase the amount of RAM in the phone to make it more competitive. If the 2.3.3 update makes the G2X stable I may keep it until later in the year. If the Sensation comes out before they update the G2X I'll get Sensation. I need a phone that's consistently dependable and in that regard the G2X is a mess. I can't do custom ROMs because I travel globally and everyone I've ever used has always given me problems registering on foreign networks so CM7 is no silver bullet for me. It's a shame too because the G2X hardware (bleeding screen excepted) is pretty slick and it's really fast when the planets line up and everything works. Sigh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
I got screen bleeding, but it's minimal and it's not enough to annoy.

However, it has 2 issues:

wifi setting FC when connected.

cannot read ogg vorbis tag.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
The SGS2 and Sensation are going to be the two "it" phones for the rest of 2011. They're the flagships for Samsung and HTC and are going to be wildly popular worldwide. With the number of people buying them, there's no way they won't get dev support. Devs develop for what people are buying. Also, part of the challenge for the devs is cracking whatever latest and greatest security is thrown at them. It's part of the thrill. No dev is going to stay married to a single device - the playing field is too fluid. Even the pitiful Atrix got dev support. Every phone has it's 15 minutes of fame.

Once the Sensation and SGS2 are on T-Mobile, the G2X will become a bit player especially since the price is the same (at least for the Sensation). LG had an opportunity to crack the high-end market but both the O2X and G2X are really pitiful showings quality wise. I never signed up to be part of their QC process - especially at $499 retail. I for one will never buy another LG phone and will stick with HTC and Samsung in the future.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] almostinsane:
I just sent mine back as well. Couldn't stand the reboots/power off/screen bleed and battery time.

After using my Nexus S again I can't tell the difference with the dual core int he G2x. The Nexus S feels just as fast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
You know

You know the sensation and the G2X is the same thing more or less, except for the qhd display and maybe some other small disfferences.

All the described issues are software issues which will easily be fixed with a patch. If you recall the iPhone4 kept restarting as well and although it was a hardware issue noone rushed to return it who knows maybe its the same problem with the wifi and cell shortage on the G2X, put a plastic cover around it see if it helps. There were also battery problems at the launch of iphone 4 and were fixed with an update patch.

I Dont know, the G2X will be my first android. For me, the sound of stock sounds better than Sense but the qhd sounds better than the WVGA but the 4" screen sounds better (to me) than the 4.3" but the sensation has dual flash but the G2X is not locked but the Sense has LED notification but but but but but but but..

There always is a but :) IMO They both will be good phones! but I too am debating returning the G2x and waiting for the sensation as I said on a different post I can wait for software updates but screen bleeding is hardware and thats a problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrCes:
I for one love my g2x.My phone never rebooted, i have no WiFi issues and the only thing i do have is some minor screen bleed issues on the top and its only noticeable in when my screen is max and in the dark while looking at a black image.I love HTC but i like the vanilla android look better.so i'm sticking with the lg g2x till the quad core phones come out next year.

Anyone got any other advice?

what controls the GPS, is it the radio or kernal?

i have tried

3 or 4 radios and matched RIL's (now running the lastest radio and RIL)

am now on my 4th differnet ROM (now running leedroid v3.01)

i have tried Fasterfix and gps status app's

my phone is not in a case

nothing seems to make it better sometimes i get a fix within seconds other times it takes 10mins or longer if at all, before my last OTA update upto 1.8x my gps was great no problems
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Radio controls software (the software -> hardware partnership), Kernel the hardware.

Is this the same for all apps (Maps, GPS Status, My tracks etc.) or just Maps?

FYI: I had a brief fling with LeeDroid and the GPS was perfect.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goofylad:
its basically for anything that uses GPS

runkeeper

navigation

gps status

location

ect......

just tried reflashing the radio latests + the latests RIL + leemod kernal, used fasterfix then reset the AGPS data via gps status got a fix within 5seconds will see how that goes not hopefull as its nearly always the same great to start with and then it takes ages again, even if i reset the agps data

Can you run ANY 2.2 or 2.3 apps in Android 3.0? For example, do they have the same Android market?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timtlm:
Yes, for the most part, the same apps show up in the market. They still work, but aren't optimized for the tablet's screen space.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
They don't use the same API's that the Honeycomb apps can use, but I've seen some apps for froyo and gingerbread that look good on the bigger screen. Android is similar to webos in the way that apps can scale themselves based on screen size vs the iphone apps that are made for the smaller screen or larger screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quietas:
Some apps, like Pandora, lose no functionality and work just fine, but have images or fixed pixel sections which don't scale correctly. It's the same on a 2.2 based tablet as well though.

I want to play around with framework-res.apk but I keep getting bootlooped. I heard that I can fix the problem without having to flash the whole ROM and consequently losing my data. How do I only flash system.img?
[Xperia Arc General] Blagus:
Via fastboot, same way as you root phone with Bin4ry's image.

Or with FlashTool, flash only system.sin and loader.sin.
[Xperia Arc General] hellocng:
Do I extract the system.sin from the .ftf file? How? I used Gingerbreak to root so I'm not familiar with Bin4ry's method.
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
I did this myself... you need to get the ftf file for your rom and open it with 7zip or similar.. then extract system.sin and loader.sin put them into a directory. load flashtool. and create a new package in there containing these two files, then use flashtool to flash them to your phone... reboot..done..

Can i flash the system.img from a ROOTED o2 arc file after I have flashed the stock unrooted o2 image (FTF) onto my arc first.

I have a locked bootloader. So I am trying to find away of flashing a pre rooted system image via flashtool after upgrade via the latest 145 FTF.

No..you need unlocked bootloader to use fastboot flash..

Saw this app on my twitter timeline (@CallipH). Seems very interesting. I for one am very cautious about the permissions a new app, or even an update requests. I can see this being useful, but I can also see it causing a lot of bugs since the apps may geniunely need the permissions requested.

Looks like it has some other goodies included in the app as well.

Off Topic

I've generally been on the XDA App lately, so signatures pass me by. Can you actually get Fat Tire in NC now? When I lived there (up until '95), we didn't have good beer. And if so, you need to be on the lookout for a better brew from Breck, 1554. Its a brussel's black ale, but has no bitterness to it at all.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
I was emailing New Belgium for years to change distributors, and they finally reached out. I almost daily see their delivery truck now. Heaven. Yes, 1554 and Mighty Arrow are amazing beers too. Fat Tire, prob b/c an amber is just sooo good to me though.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Br1cK'd:
Good news! Now I know if I visit back to nc, I have a chance of finding some good brew. My last trip out there, I carted a case of each with me across the country, lol.

I do stand corrected, getting my microbreweries mixed up here. In between New Belgium, Breckenridge Brewery, and Bristol Brewery (which is right around the corner from my house), its a wonder anyone out here in the great rockies gets a damn thing done, lol.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cpittman:
Living in lodo definitely has its perks. I know take my fair share of micro brew tours on foot.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Raleigh NC and the surrounding area is a mecca for local breweries and the quality of beers amazes me. It seems like every couple of weeks I hear of a new brewery popping up. Love it.

In short, don't worry about carting beer next time you come to beautiful NC :)

Permissions denied is excellent. Haven't had an issue yet, but I'm also very careful what permissions I freeze.

Yes, I was meaning in the sense of "it's a sign, ooohhh". Return whatever they send and get a different brand.

Re comment about sanDisk cards, I've had the best part of 20 SanDisk cards go through my phones, friends phones that I've sorted etc. and not a one has failed or even hic-cupped. The only reason I've got some Kingston cards is they were reported as having a better success rate for goldcards than any other (although again, where I have used a SanDisk for testing purposes or desperation they have worked but if for someone eles I still get Kingstons just for the sake of continuity).

hello,

since the leaked Froyo Updates the screen is a little bit darker then before. Is it possbile to increase the screen brightness on froyo roms ?

Maybe this seems to be the reason Froyo saves more power then Eclair.

any ideas ?

thanks
[Defy General] chm0dvii:
Just go to settings/display/uncheck auto brightness and move the slider to your liking.
[Defy General] a4e5h:
i have already moved the slider to maximum brightesns - but it not as bright as before with Eclair.

[Defy General] marius410:
Is there someone who has already found a real solution? The thing with the brightness is very, very bad.

The screen goes dark after the vibration on boot progress. The kernel is load before, isn't it? Then normally this should be no problem to increase the screen brightness for the devs?

In hope, greetz from Germany!

or use ledefy
[Defy General] liox:
How you can set this value after boot? Is there any init folder from where you could run a script?

download terminal emulator and run this command, this should fix the brightness (it did it for me) providing that your phone is rooted!

Right, but I won't do that each time after I rebooted my phone.

Great! Works fine....there's a way to auto execute this command on startup?

I don't know how to execute this command on startup but i'm using the ledefy app (ledefy.com). There you can set the increase brigthness fix and autostart on startup.

Furthermore it will give you a nice battery icon in the status bar with 1% steps and various other fixes... :)
[Defy General] a4e5h:
ledefy does not work on CM7

becaus every time i switch of my screen, the brightness will be decreased to the CM7 default brightness. If i switch on my screen i can increas brightness again with ledefy.
[Defy General] starbright_:
What exactly does this line?

"echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/als"

Is it setting backlight fix to a MAX or is it increasing the range of control?

If it is increasing the range - is it works for automatic or manuel or both?

What is the default value to go back?
