Well, the bleeding on mine was noticeable when running a GB rom with the black status bar. That's what made me decide to exchange mine. Was a huge issue? No, not really. Did it piss me off every time I looked at the status bar? You bet.

All that being said I guess it's best to mention I paid retail. If you got the phone for a great deal (like the one costco is offering) then I'd agree that it's not worth exchanging unless it bothers you.

Fortunately the one I've got now has been pretty good to me so far. I've only had it lock up once and I just restored a backup via clockwork and went on my way.

Full retail price @ tmo... I'm still within my 14 days.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
If u bought for full price you get 30days... If u buy it online/phone.. U get 20 days
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
What???? 14 days in store 20 days from a phone Rep. For a refund I mean.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wendellc:
Keep it , I doubt its noticeable during normal use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Funny thing a lot of black task bars have a light effect already modded in to look shinny and light up at the top. Now if we see any natural light its a issue? Lol cracks me up.

Honestly op I'd keep it. Doesn't look too bad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strikerx312:
yea op just keep it, mine looks close to yours and it really doesn't bother me
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Camille68:
It's actually 30 days in-store for a refund. I also purchased mine at retail and the receipt says 30 days.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
Def keep it. Mines similar, you'll barely ever notice it over time
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yglup:
Ya'll do realize that the screen is actually IPS, the same as the Ipads. Just wondering.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Naw ..............your crazy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] boldfacelies:
Mine looks like that. You get over it quickly when you realize you wont use pitch black screens often enough for it to affect you.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Castle5665:
I'm not sure how you all get over poor quality. There should be zero bleed as is the case with so many other devices. I was 5 seconds away from upgrading from a SGS Vibrant when the guy behind me showed me the G2X he was returning....again. Wow! Sorry but that is a deal breaker.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
LOL!!!!!!! You think the phone wasn't worth it. From a store and a GUY who showed you his?

Was this store pitch black?

Did you cover your whole head with a really dark garment?

Because I call BS.

the bleed is not noticeable in light.

I sold my vibrant happily for the g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
I enjoyed reading the great advice on this thread.. My screen bleed looks just like yours on the top corners. I considered returning it today, and I thought.. "Why? I don't notice it at any other time except when I boot up... in the dark." Then, I considered how I may end up getting a buggy device. I currently have great battery life.. and it's running fantastic. It's merely cosmetic and is not found unless I literally look for it. I don't even use Draw... I only installed it to see the bleed. Without installing it, I wouldn't have noticed it... lol.

I decided to keep mine around 2min before I read this thread... and the advice just helped solidify that I was making the correct choice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Castle5665:
Yeah?...and I was happily ready to do the same. Yes I did see the bleed in three corners on his black screen that wasn't even close to true black. They looked like spot lights on a stage. I looked at 4 other G2x screens in the store hoping it was an isolated problem. It wasn't. My Vibrant screen kills the G2x The specs on the G2x are great but the downgraded screen won't do for me. You ready for a gingerbread update with the black bar? Enjoy the spot lights.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Not an issue with gb. Plenty of roms to check it out. And I HIGHLY enjoy this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
To be fair though, your vibrant screen kills EVERY screen out right now. That's why Samsung still has a hold on the tech.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gimiento:
I just got my g2x and the bleed is about the same as the OP's. I find it annoying, I'm definitely of the camp that these gadgets should be free of manufacturing defects. But am not sure what I will do. So far it seems i have good battery life and am not suffering any reboots or anything so the unit is decent. I'm not going to make any decision though until i can find a windows machine to flash NVflash and try out some other ROMs. Going from CM7 on a nexus one to 2.2 on the G2x definitely distracts from the 'wow' factor of the phone though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Madblaster6:
Honestly most people who come here will have bleeding. This is my second phone and I have to say you can barley see it on 100% brightness. My first was horrible but nothing I couldn't live with. I returned it because it had rebooting issues.

Sent from my g2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashman3000:
i have the exact same amount of bleed as the the threadstarter's pics show, no reboots, nothing else. In fact, if i didnt find out on this forum about the bleed, i would have been oblivious to the bleed, even then, it doesnt bother me one bit. I am 100% happy, this phone is the bomb, i just messed around with my brother's droid 2, that thing sucks compared to the zippiness of mine. i just love it even more now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] abowmedia:
I'd probably return it. I returned 4 and went through 3 cases before giving up. They are right though, you probably won't get much better. This has been going on since the O2x, and LG just refuses to respond. At this point reps are telling people it's not covered under the manufacturer warranty, so if you're planning to keep it and do a factory return later, scratch that plan.

I personally noticed the bleed causing desaturation in the corners on the games and videos. 2 of the 4 I took home were tinted yellow, and you could see the difference in colors in broad day light with 2 of them side by side.

I spend a lot of time on my phone, so for me a defect like this was just to glaring, and every time I turned the phone on I got angry about it. And I totally noticed it in day light at 30% brightness. Unless I was in direct sunlight, I noticed it everywhere. Shame, I really wanted a Vanilla Android to replace my N1.

If you can over look it, that's cool. Phone seems fast, but I hate to commit 2 years and $200 to something that irritates me every time I turn it on.

As for whether any of them are perfect, I hear claims, but no one has made with a photo yet, so i seriously doubt there's a single one in existence that doesn't have the bleed. Pretty sure most LG tv's suffer this issue too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] abowmedia:
The bleed is noticeable in the light depending on the unit you get. All the ones I went through were all visible unless it was outside in the sun at 10% brightness
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Me and my wife have had 6. I have 3. Friends or co workers with them none have even noticed it. So that's weird.

Official ROMs all around the world doesn't have 2way record support, Only chinese unicom roms HAD call record from line support with a nice button in dialer to record the calls you want. Someone figured out and extracted some libs and made a patch (only record support) its available in the above link, it works with any official rom and its integrated into barebones and pays rom.

Barebones Rom 1.5.1 includes the chinese libraries + Chinese Dialer with record button, to record directly from the line.

Pays rom includes the chinese libraries but no record button in dialer, you have to download any call recorder from market.

If you dont intend to use barebones or Pays or China rom, you have to install that patch or you wont be able to record anything no matter what call recorder you use, noone will work.

My goal is to have the original stock 347 back. I seem to be getting close. I would stay with either of the above if the button lights would stop flashing. I am comfortable with fastboot, streakmod recovery, superuser procedures etc. I seem to be having the problem with combinations. If someone could advise the best course of action step by step I am sure that I will have the "so that's what I missed!!" epiphany.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warez71:
I have a Nandroid backup (supposed) of 347 that is not my own. I received my Streak last Wednesday and after a successful Root unistalled Dell stage (still kicking myself). Long story short, I have been trying to restore it to OEM without having made a back up of any kind. I have it running on 315/315 but the flashing buttons are troublesome. As Android modification is fairly new to me (I am well versed in iphone, xbox, PSP) it has been somewhat nerveracking trying to put everyones experiance into a viable fix.

Navigating the forums with the xda app isn't the easiest so all I can suggest is flashing the 351 or 354 recovery, followed by the respective update.pkg.

If you're sure the nandroid backup is complete, install streakmodrecovery or clockworkmod, whichever the back up was made with, then run restore.

So I have pre-ordered my Flyer here state-side at Best Buy (seeing that I work at one)... And just checked the inventory system today and it appears that the tablet is showing an in-stock date of 5/22/11 or this upcoming Sunday!

So I hope that my store gets one, because I'm the only one that has pre-ordered

P.S. This would be the 16Gb WiFi only version of course!

And sorry if someone already posted this!

Best Buy today announced that the Wi-Fi only version of the HTC Flyer™ tablet launches on May 22. All Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile standalone stores, as well as BestBuy.com, will have the tablet exclusively at launch. The HTC Flyer is a fast, portable, light-weight tablet that integrates the immersive and highly intuitive HTC Sense™ experience and enables content including videos, music, games and more to be easily accessed and enjoyed. The addition of the HTC Flyer to our tablet lineup gives Best Buy further opportunity to help connect customers with the mobile technology that best meets their needs."
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] F0l3ert:
Is there any word on how much each Best Buy is getting?

I wouldn't mind jumping the border this weekend to get one if theres no shortage. :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] glitzbd:
More Information

So yeah as jwiskowski posted it is official 22nd is the launch date! So I have some rather interesting news, my store has 3 Flyers on order. However they are not listed as in-transit (meaning they will be on the next delivery truck). So it appears that they will probably be drop-shipped just how they did with the iPad 2. So basically that means the UPS delivery person will bring them with regular store deliveries, and being that UPS doesn't ship to us on Sunday... I think it'd be safe to say the stores will have them by Saturday, but clearly they can't sell them until Sunday!

F0l3ert the only way to check this would to be to call the nearest store to you state-side, give them the Flyer SKU (2390524) have them plug that into RSS (the inventory system) and see what they have on order. If they are nice they shouldn't have a problem doing that haha

Oh and the stores on order number is usually excluding their demo unit so that should be an accurate on-hand count (meaning ones they can sell).

Hope to see y'all soon with your Flyers!

Oh and here is a link to the Engadget article outlining the launch details - click here!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Thanks for the tip. I called a few stores around my area and they are all getting about 8 units each. They said it was going to be a free for all on Sunday.

I also called to check if I could change my online pre-order to a in-store pick-up, and they couldn't do it since it wasn't actually shown in-stock at the stores.

Might be an interesting Saturday night / Sunday morning to figure out how I can pick one up before my trip next week.

Can you provide the sku for the pen?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys!

I was attempting to flash to stock GB to use a custom ROM. While Odin was doing it's thing, it just stopped at a point and wouldn't move. I waited almost 30 minutes before deciding to pull the USB plug and try a second attempt. Now I can't get back into download mode. All I get is rolling blue, red and yellow text, a recovery menu that doesn't allow me to select anything.

It looks like I"m in "manual mode"?

The last line, in red text:

E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)

I can't access download mode or recovery in any of the old methods. When I plug in the phone while the screen of blue, red and yellow is up, Windows will recognize the phone, but there will be no option to mount and Odin will not recognize it.

I've just ordered a JIG, which I'm hoping will get me into download mode, but I'm not sure exactly how a JIG works and whether it'll help me or not. I was told in another post that there are other ways to get into download mode, but he never provided any details.

Has anyone else ever seen or experienced this with their device! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've got a 1010 Captivate and I'm using the DesignGears leaked Froyo (I know, it's ANCIENT)

But this ROM gives me near or above 3Mbps download speeds.

I just installed the latest Continuum today and struggled with 4 different modem files, switching bands to 850/CDMA, "automatic" band selection and other settings and I could NEVER pull above 1Mbps download.

I reflashed to Elciar and then the Froyo leak and BAM -- 3Mbps again.

What the hell is the deal here? I REALLY want to use a custom ROM but my download speeds are crippled like Timmy.

FWIW, my upload speeds on every ROM I've tried (Cognition, Firefly, Cont) have been GREAT, at or above 1Mbps. Obvioulsly, the Froyo leak not being 'H' enabled caps me at 384Kbps but that isn't my concern.

Why, oh why Captivate gods am I forced to use an OLD Froyo leak.

I've also tried other 2.2 ROMS in the past but now I'm beyond frustrated. I JUST WANT TO USE A CUSTOM ROM and have my download speeds be normal.

What could I possibly be doing wrong??

I've tried multiple modem files, multiple bands including automatic. It just doesn't make sense.

[Captivate General] Jemack:
Believe me I wish I could help but here is where I am. I have 2 captivates, one is just a back up, and I have been running cm7 for months on my main one. No issues with speed at all. Flashed jvh on my backup and tried it for a day or two here and there. The overall slowness in data speeds compared to cm7 was enough for me that I flashed my back up back to stock. Question for you.....have you tried cm7? initial install is a lot easier now.

By the way....never did a speed test on jvh....real world use left absolutely no doubt to me it was too slow for me.
[Captivate General] avs420:
I don't have broadband at my current location (Cricket EVDO) so I often tether my phone since I'm still grandfathered into an unlimited plan and so far AT&T hasn't caught me so download speeds are pretty crucial for me.

I'll try CM7 tomorrow. Too tired to spend another 2-3 hours playing with my phone. Thanks for the suggestion!
