LG is sending out a maintance upgrade for the g2x to correct all the software glitches that have been causing rebooting etc. this update will hit middle of may..SO, everyone hold tight, LG G2x will reign supreme, no need to replace
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Izzydroolin:
Do you have an official link, post, pic, or proof? I prefer to build my hopes on company made promises.:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Amd4life:
Is this based off the stock 2.2 rom?

Why not just fix the 2.3 leak and release that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Luthien1:
i went to tmobile store today amd multiple store managers at different stores comfirmed that LG contacted them and said a maintnance update is coming out within a couple weeks, to fix all the devices.....I believe this to be true based on probability 3 different managers from 3 different stores told me this, when i was trying to exchange the device.....i got it exchanged and my manufacturing date is 4 /26/11, anyone else have one made that late
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
LG is retarded. I was calling them because of a headphone compatibility issue and they guy didn't know what the g2x or the p999 was. This was a rep in LG's mobile accessories department. I told him I was embarrassed for him.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] e30jean:
I was at a local store just yesterday after work asking about the camera issue, and there was no mention of it. I've made multiple calls to t-mobile customer service line and same deal there.

Any details on the fix, what issues it will resolve etc? My camera basically takes pictures/videos but the screen goes DARK and you can't exactly 'preview' anything. Same deal with any other camera app from the appmarket or barcode scanner apps as well.

Store mentioned other customers have reported the same thing, but no resolution yet...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Luthien1:
the weird thing was i had to go to multiple stores because almost everyone was out, but not saying anything to any manager, the one said LG sent them a message that a maintnance update was scheduled for g2x in midmay to fix rebooting, freezing, and all other glitches. So i went to another store, and i said NOTHING about it, and then to my suprise, the manager there said, dont worry we just got notice that a maintnance update is coming out midmay as an ota update to fix g2x. Then i called another store, and the lady manager there said yes i heard that too... at that point, i was so happy, because folks, i didnt say anything, so how did all of them know.......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] freakboy13:
Weird.... I have absolutely no issues with my g2x, and honestly I am not going to do any upgrades unless it the official gb release. My only gripe is the BS battery drain issue, which I wish people would stop making excuses for.

"If Satan lived in heaven he'd be me.... "
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
If they operate like any of the companies I've worked at, the managers probably go to monthly or quarterly regional meetings. I'm excited about the update though. Thanks for the tip for sure. Hopefully our devs can roll this into their ROMs fairly easily. I can't wait to see what future OTA updates can do!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
there is a report about an lg o2x update online. i've seen nothing about the g2x so far. hopefully these reps are not mistaken.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
Yes Thats my date and I have very minimal screen bleed and only one reboot so far and the phone works great. I ordered a replacement to see if I can get less screen bleed and I got a 4/28 one with much worst screen bleed that u can see during the day so Im returning the new one and keeping the 4/26 one which rocks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Luthien1:
The o2x is a UK phone so I don't see how they could mistake.....the supervisors are confident its coming out very soon....guys I would hold off on flashing until this is straitened out...my GPA was messed up after flashing.hence my return even after I went back to stock and hard reaetted........g2x forever....hopefully morfic can get us a kernel which increases our ram......like he did on vibrant.Nordic I love you man you have a fanclub with the most loyal g2x owners
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Whats gpa?

Oh you meant gps.. Woops
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I've never had less than 60mb of RAM free at any given time. Not sure a RAM hack is needed on this phonee.. Seems to handle its memory wonderfully.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Yeah, I don't understand the RAM concern either. Seems to be a small obsession with this guy; he started another tread whining about how "handicapped " the phone is because it has so "little" RAM. I really think he just doesn't understand how Android allocates memory...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thephoneguyusa:
My G2x was fine no reboots or freezing. Then I flashed Eagles Blood and I was getting frustrated with the keyboard lag so I reverted back to stock from my nandroid back up and now I have had one reboot, it has frozen when coming off the charger twice now. Kinda wish I would have never flashed a custom rom.... I am hoping this is legit and everything gets patched and is ready to rock again!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
lol, you put too much faith in customer service. people were actually sent replacement g2's for their g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MN_Bug:
UK Version

Hey everyone, thought I'd register to chime in.

The UK version of this phone was released with its own LG skin so it makes sense that LG would release a patch to correct their own custom made skin (the problems that people seem to be having in the UK are reported to be much much worse then the G2x).

Don't expect the same patch to be released for the G2x because there is no LG skin on it. The patch for the G2x should be an android update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pinoyclass:
I had major battery drain issues phone was lasting only 6 hours and I ended up doing a factory reset and now my phone can last all day! I can unplug the phone at 2am wake up at 10am and use the phone , fb, gmail, web browsing, and youtube all day and still have 40% left by midnight.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Even though the G2x is not running LG's interface, I'm pretty sure LG still has a hand in the updates. Just like T-Mobile will also have a hand in the updates.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VICosPhi:
Grade point average?:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
That is nonsense. LG has tons of crappy code in the G2x, it's under the hood where you can't see it. Just ask the devs. So any patches that are released will be coming from LG to fix their bad code. It may not be the exact same patch for both phones, but there's not need for it to be an OS update for the G2x as you are stating.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Luthien1:
Its a patch......duh, not complete os update just patch....i didnt imply gingerbread up grade
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
If you go here:

http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp

Enter LGP999DW in the search and it shows an update as being available. From what I understand, it won't go through yet. It is in their system though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning Blue:
It took me three different reps to actually order the G2x for me, the first rep said "sorry we don't carry the G1 anymore but we can get you the G2", the second rep said G2x but put an order in for the G2 and the third rep finally fixed it all.

I think it needed a different name tbh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
it has said that on their site for a couple weeks now. i noticed it about 7 days after i got the phone the day it came out here in salt lake on 20th of april
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Luthien1:
Bdkinney ..ram and amount of it is very important, considering advances in smartphone technology, thus as computing power increases ram should increase with it, because they can do much more then before requiring more ram, for example multitasking......dont be dumb
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
Just the Tab?

Are you talking about the tab the says software update?? I believe this tab is available no matter what phone you search....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Dumb? Really? You understand that this phone has half a gig of memory right? And we are running vanilla Android (almost)? So, no Sense/Blur/TouchWiz bloat. You understand that Android only frees memory when necessary...holding APPs in memory after you've exited them; and freeing that memory only when it is needed? You understand that 512MB or less is the standard developers are using when they write an app, Right? The phone has plenty of memory. Would a full gig be better? Of, course it would. But your hand wringing over the "limited" memory of the G2x is just silly. :rolleyes:

I have eight gigs in my laptop but I run nothing that requires more than one. This is a phone...a very, very good phone but still a phone. AND IT HAS PLENTY OF RAM. If you aren't happy with it then take it back and wait for something you "think" you will be happy with. But please stop whining about the frackin' RAM. And don't call me dumb while you wear ignorance like a crown.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericc191:
I think there needs to be a middle ground here.. yes 1GB would be nice, however 512MB is just enough for the time being. I do believe that all future high end smartphones should come with 1GB of ram, though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Agreed...and they will. I know my next phone will have 1GB as a minimum. But all-in-all I'm good with 512MB at this point in time...a full gig would have been sweet though.

@Luthien1...see RAM can be discussed without hysterics...or name calling. :D

WOW! This thread has gone off the tracks....I apologize for my part in its derailment...I'm done here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DeezNotes:
If it had 1GB, someone would want 2GB. The question is, does it work? The answer is yes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Nortisan:
Has anyone else had major issues with receiving an insane amount of duplicate texts? I don't know big it's an app I've had installed that's causing it to glitch out, or what. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mightywonton:
i did the same thing. everything is running so smoothly + with the new adw launcher ex update.

the only thing that bugs is the video chating. =/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
When it's not frozen :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seanathan:
To back up what the original poster said, I heard the same thing. This was from T-Mobile employees at the location here in the Scottsdale Mall. They told me next week. If the phone still has the issues after the update they will swap out a new one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Luthien1:
Lol yes we can indeed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
The link didn't come up like the page I was on, but yes, if you go click on software update and put the model number of the phone in the search, it will show an update as being available.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] t0ny0:
am I the only one who cant see anything about an update on their site??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I just got an email from my Tango Beta program that they released a new version that works with our G2x's... so hopefully that is something we can put behind us.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Luthien1:
After analysing other threads folks tghe g2x is the most develepor friendly device ever..im sure all devs will flock to this like candy to an adult...sensation will be locked.....noone buy...we got best phone ever, period omg im so happy
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
really? can you just be positive and stop belittling people? everytime i see a post from you your acting like youre better than other people. why post at all? its just a thread and it's someone looking to give information to others in hopes it will help the community. most people here are not programmers and everyone wants to contribute as best they can. if you can't say something good then just don't. no need to dis everyone in the thread or the one who wrote it. i hate people that do that (not saying your a bad person, im sure you're not). lets all just be cool :D

p.s. he was defending himself. id be defensive as well. some people aren't very nice/understanding on this forum.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seanathan:
Well said. I completely agree. We are all here to help eachother. No need for poor attitudes. Doesn't help anyone or help the subject.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aironeous:
It's ddr2 ram

look at the specs on amazon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Look, if I came off like I thought I was was better than or belittling, it wasn't my intention...

Actually, I let all the negativity I was seeing get under my skin and responded in kind. Certainly I wasn't dising everyone in the thread. I was in complete agreement with the guy you quoted me replying to...so???

I do my best to give information and support the community. Seeing disinformation and negativity in these forums just kinda got to me and I let myself become part of the problem. :o

Anyway...I'm not defending my actions...just explaining myself. And I try to help people with the little knowledge I do have. I just have a low tolerance for what I perceive as misinformation (not that I'm always right-I'm definitely not). So, if you see me getting a little scorched earth feel free to smack me around a little...I'm a big boy and I can take it.

Sorry if I hurt you sensibilities...really.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] datboycuong:
I heard from a guy who works at T-Mobile that he heard from another guy that works at a different T-Mobile store that he knows a guy who works at a different T-Mobile store that he saw a guy at a T-Mobile store talking to another person that works at T-Mobile that he knows there will be a G2X update.

When asked who that person was, he said it was a customer who works at Sprint, who thinks that all T-Mobile 3G displays H.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spunix:
Yes,

I get this ALL the time, only way to fix it is reboot. It was happening to me right away b4 I had a chance to add any apps. I just rooted the phone and am working on figuring out if I'm keeping it vanilla until it's patched or if I want to go with a custom ROM.

My known issues:

Battery Life - fixed by turning off BT / GPS when not needed

WIFI/Data Connection - often need to reboot phone in order for internet to work

Turns Off - occasionally will turn off on its own
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
its cool. you're definitely being more understanding than most people here are sometimes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
sounds like tmobile and lg's strategy to keep your phone instead of exchanging for sensation lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Nortisan:
Hmmm... when I would reboot it would just continue again as soon as it was fully booted up. I'm really hoping that the patch will fix this. It makes me wish I could still be using my Nexus One.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Keeping GPS off saves no battery unless some rogue application is using the GPS without your knowledge. However, having BT off when not needed definitely will help your battery.

@All: please play nicely. Thank you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spunix:
Was at the mall today. Just missed the LG rep by 5 minutes. I was complaining about internet issues with the phone and the sales lady said the rep just informed them a software update was coming out very soon for the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 299792458:
Was at Tmobile today....was chatting up with a sales guy who was also a G2x owner. He said the same....update coming soon. He wasn't told exactly when but he thought next week.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Buy the sensation. Done.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
These folks are probably just repeating the same rumors that are circulating around here. I'd be surprised if they had any actual hard additional information.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VisedMonk:
Except that htc locked the sensation bootloader down just like they did w/ the thunderbolt, and allegedly encrypted it, too. Good luck with that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Luthien1:
Wow thread got big..im happy i helped some peoplee..until tge patch, try to be carefull of flashing a buggy rom......but after its team whisky bionix.......what do u think the patch will fix or look like...anyone any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] briscool:
they're probably just telling you what you wanna hear..bullshitting to make a long story short ahah

G2x Fixed

Just got my G2x with 2.3.3 and so far working great

---------- Post added at 03:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 AM ----------

To all that are having problem with the G2x I just sent back one that had 2.2.2 And t-mobile sent me one that has 2.3.3 and so far its working great so hopefully this help to get hopes up for thos that like the G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
T-Mobile doesn't send out replacements thru warranty anymore, at least that's what they told me and said LG is handling all warranty replacements. So your either lucky or something fishy is going on here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
I got my replacement G2x through T-Mo...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Homeuser66:
Ok, can someone clarify? Did this patch help out the issues with these phones? I am looking to get either this (G2x) or the HTC Sensation 4G and I am still undecisive at this point. I was told, the G2x still has issues and only a one manager at my local store has said, that the phones are now coming out with the lates OS. I am looking for some first had opinions here...any takers?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Bonehead move alert:

Dang this is a reply for a different thread, heck I am gonna leave it up here anyway.

Essentially the G2x problems of note are history. The phone is fully functional yet some may not like its performance in certain areas. One area is the screen if looked at in the acid test scenerio of full brightness in complete darkness, with entirely black screen, trivial amounts of screen bleed can be observed. Nobody has ever been able to take a photograph of the screen bleed with a non-entirely black screen in any type of normal lighting. Some OCD users can not tolerate this an the phone is not useable to them.

The screen itself is excellent, its H-IPS, which mean the IPS glow is white vs purple. The viewing angles are as good as they get. Some prefer the AMOLED +, others like the higher resolution screen in the Sensation. The text is best in the Sensation, then G2x, and then AMOLED Plus. The Sensation screen has narrow viewing angles, but some say its outside in sun performance is excellent. Sensation has a LCD lottery, with 3 different vendors, with advocates for each being best. There have been problems dust under screen, which would be warranted, and some with touch responsiveness, look at the Sensation thread for their issues, they got them, every phone does. FWIW nobody complains about the outside performance G2x which is certainly very good.

As you are near enough, I would suggest that you wait to see the Hercules which is the Galaxy S II. You can probably see a version of it from another carrier already, look up the release dates.

G2x is fastest in graphics, the GSII is fastest in the OS. As the G2x runs the OS as fast as possibly needed by a human user, I think the G2x can fairly be viewed as the fastest of the phones.

The Sensation has a pretty GUI, some love, others hate.

G2x is generic android, apply the options yourself.

I like the build of the G2x, the outer metal rim is nice, something which other similar phones like the Revolution don't have. The G2X is perfectly balanced, put your finger in the middle and it is level. Some think the Galaxy II and the Sensation are too big for a phone. Nobody complains that the G2x is too large.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Homeuser66:
Not sure what you meant by that, but thanks for your information. It was helpful!

I just signed up and I was browsing the forums and came accross this post, and instead of starting a NEW thread, I just posted here as IMO, it was kinda related, but I again, thank you for your reply.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
How long ago was this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grigoriisi:
cant wait hope will fix the issues
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Homeuser66:
I've decided to wait till Oct, only a week or two away till the Galaxy S II (Hercules) comes out...I'm gonna go with that one..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bjlefebvre:
I don't know. That phone is supposed to be gargantuan in size. For me, anything past 4 inches starts to tip the scales toward the cumbersome side.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Homeuser66:
I'll wait and see..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
Galaxy S2 has fastest graphic chip (Anandtech SGS2 review and Nenamark 2) in smartphone and also fastest Android phone out there. The only one out there that can do 1080p Adobe Flash. G2X's LCD screen is very hard on your eyes compares to SGS2's SAMOLED+ screen. I can't play games as long on G2X as SGS2, though G2X has access to Tegra 2 optimized games. For everyday use SGS2 is better device with better battery. G2X is great for games and music with Voodoo Sound app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Homeuser66:
I know...That could be a good selling point for me...But I hear the G2x still has some issues that this patch didn't fix yet....From what I hear anyway...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
Mine 2nd G2X doesn't have reboot problem and very small screen bleed can only be seen in dark room. I am one of those lucky people that has an almost perfect G2X. G2X is a great deal for a phone this good. Not just Tegra games but you get a lot of games from Gameloft too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Homeuser66:
Oh...Still indecisive....lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
This is from may guys. Gingerbread has come and gone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Homeuser66:
What's your opinion? You seem to be using a G2x.....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
ME? :p

I got the g2x a month ago. As with any android phone i ever had (i have had about 15 of them since android came out), it's standard protocol to wipe the stock os off and put cyanogen on. Which is what i did the first night i got it. I LOVE CM! Let that be said, but just like samsung phones with the touchjizz interface, those pesky proprietary drivers seem to really screw things up. Long story short, after getting REALLY tired of all the little quirks in CM:

1. Com.android.phone almost always crashes when I start my phone

2. Camera is busted(fixed)

3. Going from wifi calling to mobile network causes signal bars to go stagnant and not update till a reboot (bet yours does it too you just never noticed)

4. Su 3.0 can update in market but cannot update in system after installing latest nightly.

5. Market closes when installing gapps when using 0828. It will show the list of available apps then close, presumably cause it us updating to 3.1.5 and the market updater is not frozen.

6. Pandora will randomly forward to another song. Have same version of Pandora on my other phones and this never happens.

7. Wifi still disconnects after long periods of sleep even if policy is set to never.

8. Speeds never go over 2 to 2.5 Mbps EVER even on full signal hspa+ networks. I get 5mbps on stock even in low signal area.

I really think most of those problems have to do with tegra 2 driver source not being available. I have went back to STOCK 2.3.3 and just removed all the bloat and garbage myself. I have NEVER had a random reboot, sleep of death, etc. I really think those problems are a hardware problem. When i got my g2x it had 2.3.3 pre-loaded so obviously it is a newer one.

This is the first and only phone i have EVER used where the stock rom was the best across all fronts. Performance, battery life, bugfree, etc. Kinda crazy if you ask me. Stock roms are known to be garbage usually. I believe all the problems with this phone that people have posted, but i think they are just screwed and no update is ever gonna fix it. I just got lucky and got a fully functioning model i guess lol.

Unfortunately the dev community for this phone RELATIVE to other phones is pretty much dead in the water. And i believe thats only because so little can be done with this phone's roms. People who defend and say our forum is active have obviously never used other popular high end phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Why anyone would be thinking of getting a G2x with the Amaze and SGSII coming out in the next month is beyond me.

Once they hit, this G2x is gonna see be retired. This phone should've never been release. No matter what rom I used, still reboots at least twice a day. Just give me a phone that works. Man, I miss Windows Mobile!
