I'm eligible for my first upgrade from my Dinc. Should I upgrade now (if so to what?) Or wait it out?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
I like this phone, but people are saying the gs2 is the best phone they ever used. Ugh!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Touchwiz. Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
another one of of these threads? :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dumbkkid:
Its Samsung... don't like so much.

Touch wiz

I believe no tetra games either.

Besides it being 1.2ghZ I don't see much difference... much rather keep the g2x. No one knows if cm7 would even be on it. Lol

Samoled looks artificially vibrant. It looks like neon colors just bursting on your eyes imo

The g2x also looks better I think...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] profresh:
If you like this phone keep it. End of story.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tangyoulei:
Leaving the over boosted size aside, IMO, the biggest issue of sgs2 is there is no guarantee that it will be on t-mobile. Plus you are very likely to be forced to wait 3-4 months to see in the US market...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
They need to get gingerbread out fast so I can see if they fix any of the issues I have.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AdamHart612:
Just buy whatever you like more? I'm for sure picking up a GS2 when they drop here, I couldn't care less the carrier etc. But then again I'll probably swoop a Sensation (Evo3d more likely...) too.

Ahhh...the joys of off contract purchasing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] h3ck:
I was in the same "dilema" because I wanted to wait for Samsung Galaxy S 2. Here was my final Pros for G2X and Cons for Samsung GS2 that lead me to go with G2X.

Pros for G2X:

---

> Tegra Processor (means Tegra zone, means future potential for Playstation support)

> Stock Android (Means higher likelihood of updates, faster device, with no UI)

[I reasoned that 1.2GHz with more RAM but Touchwiz was probably equivalent to 1.0GHz with a little less RAM but stock android, not scientific at all btw, just conjecture and uninformed estimation]

> Easier to root/mod, in case I decided to fiddle around with it in the future

> Build quality is long lasting and much more professional/sleek/awesome

Cons for SGS2:

---

> Samsung Updates are Non-Existent, GS1 just got Froyo about a few weeks ago, still no gingerbread

> New Touchwiz is nicer, but a nice piece of crap is still crap

> If I purchased I would immediately mod the phone to get stock/vanilla android (so in essence why go with it only to revert to stock)

> Build quality not as solid as G2X from what reviews say

> Final reason I decided to not wait... If history is any indication, T-mobile got the weakest iteration of the first Galaxy phone (no flash, missing features, etc)... I wouldn't be surprised if we get a T-mobile version that is missing some of the awesome features that we held out for.

The G2X is here now, is a great and fast phone and will be as powerful as the Galaxy S 2 out of the box, especially in everyday use. Aside from the defects that are being talked about, I think G2X is the better choice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
G2X

I would go with the G2x as well. Because it's stock android, t-mobile did a good job of staying out of the way here, plus touchwiz doesn't upgrade a user experience enough to be a game-changer. A lot of people believe it makes a phone worse. Beyond that, the G2x looks really nice, feels solid, and works really well, or at least should once the update comes. I say go with what you want, list your own pros and cons, watch some review videos, and make an informed decision based on your preferences, just like anyone else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ChrisHeel:
Yes, this is my first stock Android phone and I have to say I much prefer it. Although my only comparison is HTC Sense, which I didn't care for. I really liked what I saw of the GSII, but at some point you have to buy a phone instead of always waiting for the next big thing. Figured I'd buy the G2x now and I'm pretty okay with that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
because G2x is a google phone and will be updated a lot. samsung has a nice screen but that's about it. i've had 2 vibrants. nice but nothing compared to this phone. i wouldn't want to have to deal with samsungs bull**** again after it took them 8 months just to upgrade to froyo when froyo came out near the same time as the vibrant. plus you have to deal with people from india when you call support (like dell). nothing agains them but they ones across the ocean couldnt give 2 ****s about assisting us im my experience. kept getting the run around and reffered back to tmobile when tmobile is who said i needed to speak with them!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
reasons? You really need reasons to not buy that hunk of plastic?

-Samsung

-Touchwiz

-No updates... EVER...

-horrible dev support

-did i mention Samsung?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] orells:
umm, SGS II is like months... MONTHS away from a US release. Why return this phone now and wait 6 months for the SGSII when you can buy this one now, and sell it down the line when the SGSII comes out, by then the demand will be just a great with all the support that this phone will have recieved
[T-Mobile LG G2x] i23mix:
The SGS2 looks like a really awesome phone and I may upgrade to that if it ever comes to T-Mobile. Having said that, I am happy with this phone. It does more than I need it to and already has great developer support. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the SGS2 will be out late summer to early winter if you can wait that long. I would keep the G2X and wait to see if the SGS2 is worth upgrading to. Also, by the time the SGS2 comes out, something better might be unvieled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ryukou:
The SGS II see nice, but the G2x is a fine phone. I brought my last saturday and until today I don't have any issues with it. This phone is solid, have the right size, it's stock android and dual core. What more we can hope for this phone for me it's great. I read that few people have issues with the G2x that's ok can happen, but we can prejudiced the phone just for that. Just my 2 cents. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hanged_man:
i got g2x but return it after 10 days of use, 1st unit suffered from rebooting problems and same for backlight bleeding. 2nd unit was a bit better but the backlight bleeding was still there and the terrible battery life was unacceptable.

i'm a big fan of stock android and owned htc g1, nexus one and htc g2 and loved them all and despised my brother's samsung galaxy s but after checking out the reviews and videos of sgs2 i got to admit its a better phone in terms of battery life and screen, the only downside is the touchwiz, hopefully we'll get cyanogenmod support but i strongly doubt it, anyway i can install LauncherPro and half of the problem is solved.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
If not for anything else, I wouldn't return and wait because you have no idea when the SGS II is coming out on T-Mobile. Personally, I'm a big Samsung fan. When I had AT&T I had both Blackjacks, and the Captivate, so most likely I'll pick up the SGS II when it finally comes out for us, but it's silly to just return your G2x wait it out that long. While I'm not a huge fan of stock Android compared to TouchWiz, it does hold true that this phone (G2x) will most likely get the best support of the two for upgrades and what not. It really pissed me off that soon after I left AT&T, they finally released the Froyo upgrade...Samsung is terrible about making statements then going back on them. They said Froyo would come out in October, then December, then it finally came out like what a month or so ago? I don't know LG's history for updates or how quick T-Mobile gets stuff out as I just got on board with them a week ago, but based on what I've heard, you're far better off update and support wise with the G2x than the SGS II. Plus the G2x has the Tegra processor, which is just friggin' sweet! SGS II has Samsung's processor configuration, no Tegra to be found. GSMarena did a comparison of the 2 phones, and they both stood up to each other well, especially on the benchmarks. The only real advantage the SGS II had from what I read is the screen offers more vivid colors, but it's still the exact same resolution (800x480).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
According to a Tmo tech SGS2 is currently being tested on the network!

Yeah, I know! What do they know, but thought I would share!

If true, my guess is it would be release around August or so!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
i think tmobile is going to water down the device. i hope now they are know for that in some cases.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LhamaBR:
Recently I left my HD2 at repair to replace the digitizer. Now, at every incoming or outgoing call the screen goes black and don't get back. The buttons still works, but I have to pull the battery off and reboot the phone, so it works again. It was happening before I left the HD2 to repair, but now it happens at every call.

Is it a software or hardware problem?

I'm using the Typhoon CyanogenMod v2.2 (Android 2.3.2) and Radio 2.15.50.14
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voncrane:
Do a CWM backup, reflash ROM and do a "data" advanced restore...so u have ur apps n settings back.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
I had this problem too. If you just wait a minute does the screen come back or does it remain black? I did a complete reset, that means task29 and reflashing everything. That should work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] LhamaBR:
Even if I wait the black screen continues. I will try a reset.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tobiascrystal:
Mine did that when I set the max "screen off" frequency in setcpu to the lowest It could go. I think it was because the phone was trying to do to much, running all the processes to make a call, and just got stuck on stupid. After raising the max I haven't had that problem again.

Well sort of, I also found that my phone isn't a fan of the UV kernels, if I try to OC them with setcpu I get the BSOD when my phone goes to sleep or I make a call.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
Yup, that is something to look at too, completly forgot. Mine doesn't like UV kernels either. Sometimes it just reboots. If you set the frequency to 422Mhz or something like this it should go perfect.

Also to add confusion to the mix: I tried taking a backup of nothing basically, and then restoring that and it worked fine. However just none of my 3 nandroid backups takin off my old device restore on this device. Is there a coorelation?

There has to be a way to flash back my nandroid backup...right?

Maybe my bootloader is locked, thus stalling on the boot.img?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigues:
Hi Folks,

I have a T-Mobile Nexus S (guess that makes it a i9020T) running CM7 7.0.2 and with the radio manually upgraded to KD1. What is the best way to upgrade to Android 2.3.4? Is it safe to downgrade the radio to KB1 and the system to GRI40 and go from there? Or is it better to wait for a new version of CM7?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gasparzim:
Flash 2.3.3 stock, or use a 2.3.3 nandroid backup then upgrade, otherwise I think it won´t work.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigues:
But wouldn't that also downgrade the radio? I'm worried because on my previous phone (Motorola DEXT) a radio downgrade would be a sure way to brick the device. Is it safe on the Nexus S?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si_NZ:
I've downgraded/upgraded the radio countless times to get a feel with each version.

Format /system, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik, then flash 2.3.4 full ROM, you should be good to go.

Or you can restore a 2.3.4 nandroid backup found in the dev section.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gasparzim:
2.3.4 is not using an older radio version, I think...

But I did a manual update, went ok; the only thing I had to do was set the correct APN settings.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj1171:
Hi all,

So this issue started really becoming annoying on my Fascinate with 2.2 but for awhile now, it's had this issue where I won't be touching any of the capacitive buttons on the bottom but the phone will start vibrating and acting like some of them are getting pushed. Now with 2.2, it's even more annoying because that sometimes makes it so when I go to turn off the screen, it takes a screenshot and makes the camera sound, sometimes at awkward times! :eek:

Anyway, are other people having issues with their buttons or have I dropped my Fascinate too many times?

And is there a way to disable the screenshot thing in 2.2?

Thanks!

PS. I should mention that I've been on a lot of different ROMs and had this happen, so it's not isolated to a specific one...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlgorithmX:
I've had the same problem on every rom including stock. It seems to only happen when I have a poor 3G signal, never happens while on wifi.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordanzink:
yeah it happens to me.

to get rid of the screen shot (i found out cuz it straight pissed me off) you go into system/app and delete screen capture.apk (not the exact name but it has screen capture in it)

that well help with that
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danwanna:
I've had the same problem on multiple ROMs with and without WiFi connected. It seems to be my search button that gets triggered the most.

I haven't noticed it happening for the last few days with my current setup (Comm 1.2 + ED01 + Xtreme Green) but it was very random so that probably doesn't mean much.

I do notice that it happens more when my phone is in the media or car dock as well.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt1134:
****ty touchwiz glitches lol
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj1171:
Yeah, it certainly is worse because of touchwiz but I'm pretty sure if I recall, last time I tried something non-touchwiz, the buttons still acted flakey...

Also, I have had bad signal where I am today and I swear the buttons have been worse than usual @AlgorithmX

so annoying/weird
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOTK:
+1

I've narrowed it down to poor 3G signal as well. I was out in the woods at a Retreat recently and had the capacitive buttons pressing themselves problem. As soon as I entered an area with strong 3G signals, it stopped. Now that I am at home with full 3G signal, I don't get it at all.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj1171:
Sooo obvious question: why the hell would 3g reception affect the buttons?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoenixPath:
Do you guys use mini info? I've noticed that it only seems to occur when I have that installed...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drose6102:
yea this happens to me all the time in a bad service area, bouncing around from 3g, 1x, and no signal. Running the evil fascination 3.4.2 with OTB 1.3 kernel. I don't think my setup is to blame i noticed this with the last superclean in the same bad service area. Not using miui info either
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJHunterx:
I had this problem as well but it never really seemed related to signal. It would sometimes happen on different roms and kernels I would use, but not all of them. I haven't had it happen while being on ED01 and the CommRom, so I'm not sure.

My other guess is that it might be the softkey press lagging and then pressing seconds after touching them.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtualvenom:
I had the same problem with the back button. It happened across all ROMs and even stock. I exchanged the phone out and the new one never did it. Then i dropped that one and broke the screen and had it switched again and that one doesn't do it either.

I got mine in early october I think and just today it started doing it so bad it made the phone unusable. it took me 6 tries to get into the xda app.

the issue started recently, and right now I'm in school and its never done it in here before.

I guess it may be linked to the recent connection issues? it has definitely gotten worse, I can't even watch a youtube video now.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzrdisi:
Have always had this issue. It certainly seems to be more noticeable in weak signal areas. I relate it to like a computer freezing up and storing commands and then when it unfreezes a barrage of button presses is released further screwing up the queue for the CPU. (And obviously causing other issues, like "stuck" touches)

I've always found that on this phone when the radios are switching on/off or to another type of service. 3g/1x the phone lags out pretty good.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HKReeves:
I have this problem since 2.2 update. It seems to be a known problem for samsung galaxy s. Other vibrant (I9000) seems to receive softkey firmware upgrade to fix the bug.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SOTK:
That's a great explanation and I think is near the mark. I think the phone lags in poor signal areas and stores up the button presses. Mine hasn't done it once now that I'm at home in a major 3g area.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgorrell:
Do you have a link to more information on a firmware fix for other galaxy s models? I had my phone replaced under warranty because of this and now the new one is doing the same. It's really bad in low signal areas. Verizon said it's a hardware issue the first time around.

I think it may also have to do with third party chargers. Are others with this issue using generic chargers? I read an explanation somewhere that the screen is caused to short out due to increased charge rates.
