Costco kirkland in WA state. I bought it for $399 + no contract pre paid plan. Then called tmobile the next day for cancelling the no contract plan. First time the csr said I have to return the phone in order to cancel the plan and costco should call and confirm the same. I called again after sometime and this time they just canceled my plan without too many questions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Shaolin Style:
damn, I just bought my G2X at the tmobile store on saturday for $200 (after $50 mail in rebate)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrTeel:
Hey Iceshark, thanks for all the info. I am going to go to costco and get my $50 back! I just have a quick question for you. I don't really like the g2x all that much. I kind of want to get the HTC sensation now that more information on the phone has arise (going to be released June 8th). I was wondering, could I use my g2x until June 8th then once the sensation is released go to Costco, give them back my g2x and get the sensation(under the 90 day exchange/return policy)?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Paul22000:
Haha, you should never ever buy phones from your cell phone carrier. http://wireless.amazon.com/ or http://www.wirefly.com = huge savings. :cool:

G2x is currently $79.99 at Amazon. :eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aldo37:
You're pretty much the first person that has managed to get them to sell you the phone off-contract here at XDA. Many people tried in the previous Costco thread and had no luck. I have had NO luck in 4 Costco's I've gone to in socal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shopcity:
Very tempting.......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
EDIT: I'm stupid. Cost is $149 in store, with $50 mail-in-rebate (so total price is $99), is you upgrade your phone with no plan change (and are eligible for upgrade).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kirdroid:
Yeah I had mentioned this in the original costco thread as well :-)

May be they sell tmobile phones with pre-paid plans only in WA state?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thunderstruck!:
Which coupon book-I have the one for 5/17 to 6/5. I have to get there tonight, but don't want to waste gas and time if I can't get the discount.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JBrixx:
T-Mobile's got a 20 day (30 if you're in CA) "buyer's remorse" period where you can return the handset for "any reason."

You can Google the "T-Mobile Handset Return and Cancellation Policy" to see it for yourself..

Might be something you want to explore so you can take advantage of this deal
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Shaolin Style:
yeah, i spoke to the tmobile people, they said i could return it no problem. now I just got to find someone with a costco membership
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Paul22000:
Or order online at Amazon etc
[T-Mobile LG G2x] billiybob:
not true

You can get your moneys back for any phone purchase within 30 days of purchased. The phone has gone down to 50 plus tax as of today. Make your way over there before next week Thursday price will change on the 24th. Whatever she told you was incorrect. Just take your original receipt in and have them write the new discount code on the back of ot. Take it to membership and your good to go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ocubio:
Thanks OP! I was able to get $100 back for 2 phones @ Costco, it was easy, the Kiosk gave some number and the cashier did the rest. I got mine for $200 because I didn't want the unlimited data plan, so $150 is a lot better!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Paul22000:
Yeah just checked out the Costco website.

It's $50 for new 2 year contracts.

Still $150 for 2 year upgrades. And then a $50 mail in rebate.

Grr.

I'm waiting for sub-$100 up-front cost for 2 year upgrades...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordIzod:
Does anyone know if you order online from costco.com and need to return/exchange the phone can you just take it into the brick and mortar store to do the return/exchange, or do they make you ship it back to them?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] t0ny0:
Thanks again, did that and got my $100 back from costco (for 2 phones), since I got the phone for $149 a little while ago.

You are the man!!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
Not battery life.

Today i noticed my battery meter has been sticking, any way to fix that? It'll drop 20% upon reboot.

Today i noticed that my battery would spike up from 95% to 100% while charging and not go anywhere in between,. Is that normal? Battery calibration app kept going off early, and then as soon as it hit 100% i unplugged it without calibrating it, and it dropped to 99%. Happened twice in five minutes.

Also, instead of using clockwork recovery, i use Battery Calibration app to wipe my batt stats.

What mV should i be on?

One last thing, how do you bump charge? And is it really that unsafe?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creccaj1:
I noticed this yesterday, I had my phone plugged in and it was at 94-95% and 2 minutes later it was at 100%.

To bump charge, once your phone is at 100%, unplug your phone power it down then replug it in. Once it shows the green LED meaning 100% charged boot your phone up and keep it plugged in. Might go back to being orange saying its not 100% yet so let it get to 100%. Unplug it and replug it back in a couple times until every time you plug it in it shows green for 100%.

I would think that it would be bad for the battery if you do this every day, but I can't give a definite answer for that. I use Battery Calibration to do that too, but between today and yesterday after I flashed over the new CDMA/LTE radio leak from the Radio thread my battery life hasn't been great. Considering going back to the stock radio.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necosino:
I've noticed similar things on my bolt and even my dinc. To counteract this, I stopped looking at the battery % and got battery left instead. This app tells you how much longer your battery will last in hours rather than %. I no longer freak out about my battery life, %, or what others are getting; I've never been happier.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creccaj1:
Sounds like a good idea especially for me lol. I noticed this morning that my phone was 56%, down from 74%. 18% drain over the time span of like 6-7 hours or so while I was sleeping. Not sure how good or bad that is, but for me it was just like wow.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
You're being anal. Don't worry about it. Your phone is working fine. The battery level will appear to jump around a bit, especially when going on/off charger, or rebooting. Search around if you feel a need to know why.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msgnyc:
mini is faster, but I prefer the ui for HD better.

Just sliding my finger right opens up all my bookmarks and I do have many.

Aside from that, I'm not really sure of the differences.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eSZee:
I only used the mini and noticed that it lacked the address bar. So every time I wanted to type in an address, I had to open a new tab then enter address and even then it would just show the google result for that address. Now that I think about it, skyfire has an address bar but also just goes to google results. Maybe I'm missing something?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I chose Opera Mobile. Not because it was the fastest (it isn't), but simply because it was what I was most familiar with from the days when I had an LG Incite. I should try out some of the other browsers however, especially Firefox Mobile since I use Firefox on my laptops. The sync capability alone would make life easier.

I'm of the belief that speed isn't everything when it comes to a browser. Compatibility and ease of use are far more important. But, that's simply my point of view.

I've noticed that a fair number of people have downloaded the source files for my ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1025113) and figured that maybe we should start a Cooking question thread.

[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] clt11111:
can you give us the OEM Packages

of gw825v and the language is simple chinese thanks
[eXpo GW820, GW825 IQ ROM Development] trueg:
Well the answer to your request is not that simple.

First, LG doesn't break their OEM section into packages. In comparison, HTC is very good about separating their OEM section into packages (separate folders containing all of the files and registry settings for the one application/service). This is necessary for them because they have dozens of devices and they are fairly good about releasing updates.

On the other hand, LG has very few devices and they are not very good about releasing updates. Instead, LG simply dumps all of their OEM software into a single folder labelled OEMMisc.

If you are asking for a copy of the OEMMisc folder for the GW825V, then you can download it from here.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/95xijms97iuexfc/GW825v_OEMMISC.zip

If you are planning to cook your own ROM and you follow the instructions here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=671136

You will end up dumping the ROM anyway and you will have your own copy.

If you plan on cooking, I suggest you work on doing the dump yourself. I should be able to help you with any files you need.

Here are the build versions for the official ROMs.

GW820 v10d - 21749

GW820 v10g - 21749

GW825 v10c - 21868

GW825V v10d - 21891

We can worry about changing the language once you can successfully build a working ROM.

- HID Support for bluetooth keyboards.

- Gingerbread OS

- Stock Romming

- New Theme Creation done thanks to deathbringer6

- Bootanimation

Samsung has announced to release Android 2.3 update for their various Galaxy devices. Devices like Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Ace/Gio/Fit/mini will get the Gingerbread update in the coming weeks via Kies.

The upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread will bring lots of new features and improvements like faster performance, powerful graphics and improved user interface.

Although there's no clear timeline about other devices, Galaxy S' Android 2.3 should be available in UK and Nordic countries anytime soon followed by other regions.

Thanks for this rom. I installed it yesterday, and it''s really fast and smooth. Only problem I experience is that I can''t play video''s online (youtube, TED via app as wel as on the web page).

[LG Optimus 2x] peewster:
Well this is the final release :), i have a busy live with kids, wife, work :-P... So maintaining 1 rom is more then enough for me.

download the GAPPS package, copy them to your phone (unzipped) and move it with Root Explorer to /system/app

Notifications bar

I would love that shortcut bar to.

Still nothing. -.-
