[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I've done disaster planning communications. Not that this is a "disaster," but the process is the same. Let's assume T-Mobile got fed up and reached some type of deal with LG for them to both own the problem and make T-Mobile and its customer's whole. Here's the process:

1) Mitigate further damage - pulling the phone from tmobile.com and stopping sales at its corporate stores falls in this category.

2) Develop a joint communication plan - that's probably what's going on now between T-Mobile and LG. There's been a couple of mentions of a press release or formal communication tomorrow.

3) Notify partners/insiders before the public - this includes Amazon, Wirefly, etc. If there's going to be a recall/stop-sale they're still selling it because they've received no formal communication to the contrary.

4) Manage internal communication - there will be terse and simple messaging given to all T-Mobile customer-contact staff that will be boiler-plated off the press release(s).

5) Protect your customers - some sort of e-mail or outcall program will be put in place to contact registered G2X users letting them know what's happening, why, and what their options are.

So, there's a lot to do behind the scenes and, if there is going to be a big announcement, pulling the phone off of tmobile.com is just the first of a multi-step process. What I described is the way things like this are managed at every big company and they should all be completed as quickly as possible once the first domino falls. That's not to say that T-Mobile can't mess it up. Press releases usually go out at 8:00AM Eastern time. Any of you with a mar-com background know the drill.

Am I the only damn person that is happy with their G2x? Judging by this thread, everyone seems to hate it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
I love mine. And I fixed the only issue I had (screen responsiveness) by removing Wave Launcher. I have zero complaints about the phone now.

No, Im happy with mine. Too bad it took 3 tries.

@barryh couldn't put it better... sometimes I feel most xda users have never seen a corporate decision or a real recall/hold

Nevertheless T-Mobile will put things straight soon enough
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I love my g2x, no issues I can't live with. Crazy how I love mine and people hate theirs... Hell my vibrant has rebooted a few times in the last week over my g2x lol....

All phones have bugs one way or another... Why did my vibrant reboot? why did my hd2 reboot? why did my nexus one reboot (all phones rarely happened but still ), are those also crappy phones with bad hardware? No

So if people get a reboot every now and again, who cares, they all do it every now and again,.especially being modded so much...

I had 3, 1st replaced cause I scratched screen, second dust and now third for.2 weeks. All were great and had no issues..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c_brown93:

G2X - No Worries

My G2X has been rock solid since release. Rooted it, still not problems. I have had one reboot since purchase. Every android device on the market has issues like this, i think it just comes with the territory with android. I almost expect it so it does not bother me. I have no screen bleed, no wifi issues, no gps issues, nd my battery is a beast! it will last all day with moderate use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c_brown93:
G2x is amazing. It may have minor issues, but there will never be a "perfect" phone. The battery makes sense. It is a dual-core phone. Of course it won't last as long as a Nexus S. LG will work on these issues. And most likely fix them with the 2.3.3 update. I know they wouldn't recall this beast of a phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I bought mine first day. Screen bleed was noticeable. Replacement had such minor bleed that I kept it. No reboots. Early CM locked up but that ironed out. Great battery. I love it.

I killed it the yesterday and it wouldn't even turn on. I had a replacement shipped out today but its backlight is horrible. Luckily I magically revived mine and all's well.

I'm gonna call and send the replacement back.

I went into a store and played dumb. The Guy said they had known issues and were issuing a fix/update.

Good news for me cause perhaps this will speed up the process but all in all I think its just an inventory thing.

LG G2x - CM7 2.3.4
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Actually dual core phones are supposed to have better battery life as each core can run at lower speeds to accomplish the same goal. Each core can run at a 1/3rd power and with 2 cores working on the tasks, you save time and battery.

Just had a chat with tmobile

Chat Transcript

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you...

You have been connected to _Michael T.

Brett Day: just wondering when the update/fix is coming out for the G2X

_Michael T: Hi Brett , welcome to T-Mobile live Chat. I’m _Michael and I will be happy to assist you. Please give me a moment to review your question.

_Michael T: Let me see if we have information about when the fix is coming out.

Brett Day: that would be awesome, thanks

_Michael T: Just a moment

_Michael T: Unfortunately, we don't have any more information about a software update at this time

Brett Day: okay, but I guess one is in the works?

Brett Day: are you seeing a lot of issues with this phone?

_Michael T: Yes, we do see these issues and one is in the works, I assure you.

Brett Day: thats great to know!

Brett Day: do you have any guesses as to how much longer it might be?

_Michael T: Nothing official, I would guess a couple of weeks. I wish I had more information to give you.

Brett Day: ok, thats cool. Thanks I appreciate it :)

_Michael T: Not a problem, is there anything else I can assist you with today?

Brett Day: no thanks, have a great evening!

_Michael T: All right, thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile chat, have a great day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] besthijacker:
What is the reason for all that? We already know from twitter that tmobile is very low on stock. In addition there should be update soon enough to fix software issues and gb will be out at start of the summer. All this QQing is really not necessary and only makes you a tool on internartz!

Good day to you all. We all can sleep well tonight.

Still being sold at local T-Mobile store

The local T-Mobile stores here in Baltimore Md. are still selling the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
HIGH DEMAND! Pffff!

More like they ran out because so many people exchanging the phone! That's why they ran out! Tmo is full of it!

Better have an update out Asap!

Maybe by T-Mobile doing this some of these winers will sell their phones and move to another forum? Could be a win/win situation for us that love our G2x's!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jurassic5:
Guy I know works for LG mobile (i know, sounds like another internet forum "friend of a friend of a friend story"...but he really does work for LG mobile),

he says T-mobile's selling the stock they have, but all further inventory will ship with Gingerbread and software patch already installed. He says they're looking to re-launch in the 1st week of June. LG was gonna send out the software patch ahead of the GB update, but T-mobile wants it to go out together, he's not sure why. Also, it seems as if the LCD bleeding issue has been solved (looks like they were able to pinpoint the specific plant and get it fixed...)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Good news. Hopefully it is that close.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mikea3000:
If thats the case then why did tmo put out 2 separate tweets yesterday that a patch is coming soon and gingerbread by summer??

"T-Mobile plans to update the G2x to Gingerbread by summer."

"We are working with LG to deliver a software update, which we expect to offer some performance enhancements."
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SaHiLzZ:
Which may conincide with the June launch in Canada for the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
First day of Summer is June 21st. They said the GB update would be out BY summer, aka by June 21st.

And if they are having a lot of problems, it would make sense to release the fix asap and just include both (Fix and GB) at the same time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
I'm almost positive this is all revolving around stock issues. Before they pulled it, a t mobile Rep at a store told me they had stopped replacing them because it was a confirmed software issue and they're running out of handsets. Also if you look on sites like PC mag, t mobile responds with the same as everywhere else about stock constraints, but also noted the need to work on the software update. The only thing that bugs me is why some have the problem and some don't ... because for it to maintain being software that would mean that a good amount of phones were maybe flashed improperly, or something.... still confused about that sector of reasoning, but I think I speak for a good amount of us that have had maybe one reset, not wanting to deal with returning, and don't want one that hasn't had a hardware fix, if applicable. Puts me on the fence. I don't like the fence
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
This is what makes my head explode; why the problems aren't constant. I think most of the issues are running on Stock Based roms and kernels.

Funky battery driver could be killing the batteries too and causing the OS to freak out and reset. The big thing everyone is really looking for is an updated Gingerbread Kernel/Drivers that aren't wonky. Hopefully it is only days away.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
Yea I can't say much until I get the update. I am really excited to see this baby work even faster response wise, when its already blazing fast as well.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] xenoletum:
Keep in mind that since "everyone* is replacing this phone" then "everyone" must be posting here about their issues.

Judging a reaction based off of comments on a forum and a few news sites isn't a good enough sample, and any statician would laugh you out of a room for claiming that. This phone is selling, and its selling phenomenally. Every T-Mobile Rep that I've talked to in stores have told me that they can't keep the phone in stock. The four times I have called customer care with questions about billing and such, they have told me that I was lucky to pick the phone up since they can't keep any in stock to sell at all.

People aren't going to be happy and demand perfection on everything they buy. Some people wont have any problems with anything because they know no device is perfect. The G1 had its flaws. SGS had its flaws. SGS2, Sensation, EVO 3D will all have their flaws. People will complain regardless.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bhagiratha:
My SGS2 came in yesterday, pop in my tmobile SIM and BAMM .... picked up within seconds! ... It shows edge in the notification bar and I'm pleased. I can stream music from TuneIn Music player without hiccups, Stereo sound and as good as if I was on 3G.

On a side note, this phone is really light! It's no joke when the reviews say so. I have never felt a phone as thin and light as this Sgs2. It is also smooth as butter:D FAST and screen is sharp, clear and beautiful. Very pleasing on the eye. I put on an anti-fingerprint screen film, but it cuts on the brightness and clarity. It will do until I can find a clearer film.

I am more than happy with this new purchase. For those on tmobile USA, put your mind at rest ... it works very well.

Cheers!

I'm looking to do one, but curious to what was said by T-Mobile on ETA.

Not sure if I should wait or just do it! I have all issues previously posted.

I've had them stock and with custom roms!

Just frustrated!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I had to use my G2X SIM in my SGS2 for two days while my AT&T account was getting set up. I wanted to slit my wrists. If you're pleased with EDGE that's fantastic. I wouldn't want to leave anyone with the impression that it's even remotely acceptable for everyday use. What's the sense of having a high-end phone with low-end network connectivity? Unless you had to get rid of the G2X right away or are planning to switch to AT&T down the road you would have been better off getting a Sensation or waiting for the Hercules.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mightykc:
Well I received my replacement phone today. I popped in the battery and powered it up and the screen bleeding issue is way worse than my original phone so now I need to send it back in. I may wait a couple of weeks to request a new one based on the rumors I'm reading on here about the problem being fixed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mightykc:
I called on 5/25 to do a warranty exchange. Received the replacement today and I'm sending the replacement right back. The screen backlight bleeding is worse than my phone.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dachinaman:
My wife works for T mobile in tech support and she told me that T mo pulled the phone because they are waiting for LG to put their software patch out so until then THEY cant even order the phone from LG to sale but they do have phones for replacement but they are from first couple of batches so your best bet would be to wait until the patch before u do an exchange or take the risk of getting a phone with same problems
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I think they are flushing stock to prepare for 2.3.3 phones.

I ordered a replacement because I thought I screwed mine up by clearing dalvik cache (it froze and wouldn't boot). The replacement had bad bleeding. I called and told them to take it back. I eventually got mine to boot anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dameon87:
For anyone who doesn't already know this. You can get a G2x via Radioshack for $100 still. That's how I got mine, and my wife's. (Will be here Tuesday :D)

I know you can still buy them from other venues but I still think Tmobile is clearing its stock of the 2.2 editions for the upcoming 2.3.3.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CambionEris:
Plugged in the external antenna directly to the port, wasn't incredible impressed with the signal gain but my signal seemed really bad last night without it so I figured with the weather I wasn't going to be able to use it at all.

But now i'm in town and I have barely any signal. I'm 10 feet from an AP and my wifi is only 1 bar.

Any ideas? I have that rubber protector that goes over the antenna and serial port off, but it doesn't make sense for that to really have any effect. I'm thinking it is still trying to use the external antenna even though its not plugged in?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Noticed any difference after rebooting the phone? Not sure if you are referring to the 3G/1X cellular signal and/or wifi signal on the Eris - is your VZW's PRL roaming list up-to-date (do a *22899 OTA)

Sometimes, it could be a cell tower outage issue in your area/location?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CambionEris:
I'll try the *22899

I rebooted it, I was referring to both the wifi and the 3g/1x. Wifi did actually get a few more bars of signal in the building. But when I got back home and plugged in the external antenna again (nothing left to lose) I get 2 bars on 3g.

Talked to verizon and they sent me a new phone. I was pretty happy about that. I bought the phone used and left my insurance active hoping I could sneak it through. She said I didn't have insurance on it but she pushed it though as a warranty repair. I just payed for the overnight shipping. I'll try and do a factory reset on it when my new on shows up just to get some peace of mind. I'd still like to know wtf before I got plugging the antenna into the new phone. Seems like maybe the internal amp is blown? I can't imaging that happening and the radio still functioning at all. But maybe it tuned down the radio power from the extra gain on the radio and is still stuck there.

Just weird man. Talked to the company that I bought the antenna from he said he's never heard of that happening and he's been around for a while.

Ive tried un installing/rebooting etc etc, but all i can get is phone is not connected.

i have also tried another program called RSD lite, but that will not see my phone either, when clicking on show device, nothing happens.

but i can view my phone in my computer, transfer riles to and from it, and a window pops up when it plugged in saying MB52.

why wont any of the update software see it?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wciesiel:
Hi all,

I am not sure what subforum to post it so forgive me if I've chosen wrong...

I have an unlocked HTC Desire HD bought in Europe (Poland in particular). I am currently in US for some time and to my surprise it does not work with AT&T GoPhone SimCard I hoped to use it with. The phone says "no simcard"...

Does anybody here knows what's the reason? Is there a way to correct it (load a different ROM onto the device?)? Or - if it's impossible to fix with AT&T - what are my options for finding a prepaid (I won't be here for a year to justify signing on for a full year contract) card that will work with this phone and have some decent data plan?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mash23:
Poland uses GSM network and usually in US they use CDMA so it is not possible to use your DHD in US if the carrier uses other network than GSM because the 2 radios are completely different. Not sure if this can be changed but doubt it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wciesiel:
I don't think this is a case.... This phone is AFAIK the same phone in technical terms as HTC Inspire being sold in US. This is a quad-band and is working in US with Polish sim-card in roaming mode (with horrendous prices of course). So this is something with a sim-card and/or radio-software compatibility. I would push for the first one as the phone is saying "no sim-card" signalling problems with recognizing it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firething:
Hey :)

i think your problem lies in the frequencies used by european phones, arent the same as in us... on my old HD2 you could change the freq, but afaik its not possible with android phones... check this chart http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

hope u solve the prob.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wciesiel:
Once again - I am afraid it's not that simple...

Once again - I am afraid it's not that simple... I believe the incompatibility is somewhere at the either sim card (being rigged in some special way by ATT) or radio software. The HTC Desire HD is a quad-band phone accodring to it's specs (I've checked at the GSMArena . COM). I've seen reports on the internet that people managed to run GoPhone simcards on unlocked HTC android-based phones. I just kind find any information about what might be wrong (incompatible) with my handset :(

Thank you for your replies anyway - hope someone will have other ideas what to do, otherwise I am stuck with $20 "phone" I got with my gophone card ;) which is making me upset while having a proper phone not working...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wciesiel:
RESOLVED!

I managed to google out the information that ATT is somehow locking the GoPhone simcard to the phone it was bundled with. I had to call Customer Support to get it unlocked which they did. Now my Desire HD is properly working with data plan accessible :)

Thanks for anybody who was trying to help me with this.

Regards!
