I have been very pleased with my G2x.. light screen bleed.. no reboots, freezing... over all a bad ass phone. Battery life for me has been great, comes off the charger at 6am used throughout the day (wifi, 4g, texting, phone calls, YouTube and so on.) Then it gets put back on charger at 10-11pm with 15-10% left to spare. Guess I got a good battery too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] greengoldmello:
I see no issue with your post.

I also have problems with this phone..and the main one is the HORRID battery life. It makes me angry every time I get on here and read about good battery life being experienced by others because that means I have a faulty phone. It lost 20% battery in about 35 minutes of browsing with HSDPA+ and gets very warm.

Unfortunately it seems that i am not eligible for a warranty exchange because the phone is from Asurion, and I am not the original owner..smh
[T-Mobile LG G2x] peacekeeper05:
Seriously do people need to create a new thread that has basically the same topic as the others posted earlier. If you don‘t like the phone then return it problem solved.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Eh...people can talk...it's what forums are for. No one makes any of us read these posts. I've had no problems. If I did I might be starting threads about it too...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Castle5665:
I envy you. My G2x is off the charger at 7am. Back on by noon at the latest and is in the red by 5pm again. Calibrating has had no change. I may factory reset again but with so many other issues, I don't see the point.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I like chalk.

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel
[T-Mobile LG G2x] greengoldmello:
Exacty the issue i have. I guess ill just have to file a claim and get a new one to see if thats what the problem is
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SuperDeform:
After reading this.thread makes me feel like this.phone has no.use at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] @RichyRich:
Our of curiosity, what do you consider the sharing of your opinion in a thread you feel holds no relevance? Seeing that you, by your own actions, are actively bumping the thread for others to view and comment on; thus 'cluttering' the forum of 'unnecessary' threads about issues that have 'already been discussed'.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
are you running stock with all the bloatware

Sent from my G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] UnseenMaster:
This is the 3rd day I've had my G2x. The phone finally rebooted on me while i was browsing the web. Later on it rebooted again while charging.

Decided to come on XDA to see if anyone else was having this issue. Sure enough i found this thread. Sitting here at my computer desk I realized I had this same issue on my Nexus One when I had Froyo. After I updated to Gingerbread I never had this problem again.

Don't take my word on this, but i believe a gingerbread update will fix MOST of the issues (random reboots/freezing/slowness) people are having with this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
After reading all of these horror stories I realize how lucky I really am. My G2X has been the most responsive/most stable mobile device I've every owned. Everything "just works". Wifi and 3G data is super fast, games run super smooth and I've never seen Launcher Pro and ADW so smooth and so fast. I have had the device since day 2 and haven't had any problems with it. Especially the problems I've seen posted on these forums. I might give the G2X to my wife once the SGSII variant his Tmobile since I want her having a stable device and MY G2x is super stable. The Sensation is no upgrade to it (except the aluminum body) but the display doesn't look as good, has a processor that uses more power but is still slightly slower and won't be able to even store 2 of my Game Loft games on it's measly 1GB of App storage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
I think that beef people are having with this thread is that there are already tons that say the exact same thing. I understand that some of you got buggy phones, that sucks... I am one of the lucky ones that seems to have a good one. These forums are a place where everyone can speak freely but it is kind of a downer to see new threads of people saying how much they hate this phone, just like it is probably a downer for all of you that have a crappy model to see forums if people who have no reboots or are getting 24 hours of battery life... There is room for all of us... Just look for a thread that is along the same line of what you want to write about and jump on the sh*t...

Either way this phone is an absolute beast... Give it a month and it will be devouring most other phones...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
And be nice... don't scare away new devs...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:
People make too long of posts based on emotion. State problem, opinion... but unless your looking to change the phone or fix it, what's the point. Wait for update? Then do it. Wait or replace. Huge long posts... ha I like chalk as well
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Discusbass:
Just saw this. Looks real too! http://forum.androidcentral.com/asus-eeepad-transformer/88744-transformer-3-1-update-here.html
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idiotbox37:
engadget is reporting that an over the air update will come out next week some time. most likely to conincide w/ the slider announcement.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HWLmRAC:
just the US version, right?

or is it possible to flash a US SKU over a WW? thought this would not be working?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Not advised for official ROMs, for custom you can flash it anyway you like. Though I think using CWM and flashing this should work... You end up with CWM recovery and an unrooted ROM. Correct me if I'm wrong...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
im in US i shall flash this and hope it all goes well.. since its an official firmware this wont break my update checker right?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
done. worked perfectly.

theres this tiny black thing blinking on my wifi icon on 3.1....what is it.

seems to be little up and down black arrows like elevator buttons.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cowballz69:
so all we have to do now is wait for the dock firmeware update next week?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
I think the one pushed via OTA will have a higher build number
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cowballz69:
tells u if something is downloading or uploading, so u know at all times if data is beng used
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
oh sweet. is that a 3.1 thing?

UPDATE: my youtube app, im not sure if it shows at 720 p or 1080p but i did a lonely island video thats 1080p and it didn't even skip. Testing the web-based version now.

UPDATE 2: seems the web based one in 720p is fantastic 1080p not so much. This does for both stock browser and dolphin beta 3.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cowballz69:
youtube fixed finally??, hows the web browsing scrolling, i heard its even smoother
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Discusbass:
if youtube is fixed, fine. But i hope the browser typing laaaaag is fixed.

Hate trying to post in forums with this thing lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ConstantineXVI:
Easier install method if you don't like fiddling around with the power button:

1) Make a folder called ASUS/Update from the root of your microSD card

2) Drop the .zip in there, rename to 'US_epad-user-8.4.4.5.zip' (not sure if the renaming is totally necessary)

3) If you're doing this on the Transformer itself, eject and remount the SD card. If on your PC, just plug the card in.

4) Click the update notification, it'll start the updater on it's own.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lehaman310:
Anyway to do this without a SD card and on internal storage? I don't have one available.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
does your TF has to be rooted? I am not rooted but I do have a sd card
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dagrim1:
Ooooh! Downloading...

Does this wipe everything and leave you unrooted? Or is root kept as well as apps+settings? Now at Prime 1.3r2 (WW)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
It doesn't need to be rooted
[Eee Pad Transformer General] coolgus:
my question too, is there any way to update without a microSD card ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
create the folder and dump the file inside of the folder (via pc) and then insert the card into the TF and click on update notification and it will begin flashing? Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sasha101:
it got detected then when i cliked it, it went into the android with the exclamation point. What does that mean??
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
Noticed some good things:

1.) When long pressing screen and changing wallpaper....now you get a representation of the main screen area and the app drawer and such, so you know what it's going to look like....very nice!

2.) Battery usage: this has been fixed, now doesn't have the red radio signal area showing...now it only shows wireless usage and other stuff.

3.) When dragging app short cuts or widgets, the home screen now shows the grid used....very nice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] martabakeju:
for those with missing gmail widget, do you have more than 1 gmail account setup? I do and its missing.

I also find typing in xda is still very slow
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hurrpancakes:
The home screen grid was there in 3.0
[Eee Pad Transformer General] leeharo:
is there any option for proxy setting on each Wifi access point and are they working on most of the apps? cuz i rmb they mentioned about that in the google android 3.1 highlights..

I need that for connecting to the internet in my uni. campus..so hope someone would help and try to figure out if they really enable this setting

thanks,

Harold
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SmithersJ0nes:
Updated in the UK using the reboot method, no issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetuk99:
same here as wouldn't update the other way... working great... youtube hd works nice and smooth now... browser seems smoother to..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bbilko:
I tried the rename method at first, and although it seemed to flash, it changed nothing.

I will try this version now
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Alwyna:
I've got the UK Version and tried it with renaming and rebooting. I don't get a message where i can update to 3.1...

I live in Germany and changed language to German, anyone an idea?

Edit: fixed, at least kind of... had to rename it in WW_xx

After this i did became the message... now there is an Android with an exclamation mark inside a triangle. After this it reboots and says the update has canceled...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bbilko:
Flashing using the original method worked, but left me without a gmail Widget...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SmithersJ0nes:
Same here. Not really as big an issue for myself as it is for others as I only use it for the Market notifications.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sfetaz:
Anyone with a usb gender changer able to see if any usb devices are working through the cable on 3.1?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cliffr39:
To all those having Gmail widget missing problems, this is what I just did and it appeared.

Root users Move /system/app/Gmail.apk out to /removable/MicroSD (your card)

Non-root users may work to just copy instead of move

Make sure Settings - Applications shows it is not installed, if it is still (was for me) click uninstall.

Go to /removable/MicroSD and install Gmail.apk from there. Now I have the widget again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Discusbass:
Did you get it to work?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sunnyd71:
No matter what I try, I am having the same issue. At least I know I'm not alone.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Alwyna:
Nope... tried also booting with Power-Button and Volume-Down. Still no progress... every time i try: Android with Exclamation Mark in a Triangle... which means the Update has canceled...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadowjin:
Im having the exact same problem! whats strange is when i change the name and re-mound my SDcard it recognizes it, starts to update, stops and displays the (!) picture, reboots and says firmware installed but still on 3.01.

When i remove the SDcard and remount again after it failed , it doesn't see the firmware. In other words i have to unpackages the files again and re-name.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sunnyd71:
Ditto, even get the Upgrade complete message like you but no changes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krash183:
anyone with the gmail widget please tell me version of the gmail app you have..... mine is missing and says 3.1-124046
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
Can anyone offer any solutions to all of us that can't get it to update........followed instructions to a T .......even tried the power off and boot method nothing works.........no update icon appears in notifications and when I did the power up method only the andbot appears with the exclamation in the triangle.........ANYONE???????
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cliffr39:
I have the same version number. See my post just above on how I got it to appear. Good luck
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rafal2006:
i have the same problem with the download from this forum then registered at androidcentral download the original file and follow their op worked first time
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krash183:
not rooted and i cant uninstall system apps or name or delete..... i copy and pasted and replaced but no widget
[Eee Pad Transformer General] johantheolive:
Yay another quirk. Anyone have their widgets disappear sometimes after booting.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] xc4330:
if i flash this official unrooted rom , can i go back to recovery mode and flash any other rooted roms?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jamieyates79:
I've got the same issue at the moment. I've tried both methods of updating and get the same results for both. Very annoying :(

I'm trying to download the update again just in case it was corrupted in some way.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] martabakeju:
I can't uninstall gmail for some reason. I think we can't uninstall system apk
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bobcatuk:
I get the same, no matter if I re-name the file ww or us, it still just shows the exclamation triangle and wont update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Discusbass:
im on ww version. Just placed the zipfile in sd and booted with volyme down and power.

Worked well!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JMQUINT00:
i thought we were getting movie rentals on this update? Anyone seeing movie rentals on the market after 3.1?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
We might be getting them after Google updates the Market. I've seen the new interface at Google I/O and it includes the movie rental feature.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JMQUINT00:
The xoom got it with the 3.1 so I was just asking
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jcarrz1:
are usb gender changers working for anyone? and on what stuff
[Eee Pad Transformer General] the_gunner:
Adhoc Tethering?

Can someone please test whether Adhoc wireless tethering works in 3.1? Someone with a Droid 1 or other phone that only does Adhoc wireless tethering.

TIA - the_gunner
[Eee Pad Transformer General] andyxover:
I was told the gmail widget causes the machine to freeze at times during boot up, and that's why they removed it. So might not be very wise to add it back yourself. I just use the email widget for now, the only problem with it is there's no search with your inbox
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krash183:
got it back baby! widget back

downloaded the 3.0.1 update from asus. flashed it.... got a lot of errors and force closes.... went and saved the older gmail apk on the microsd while on the 3.0.1 firmware. reflashed the 3.1 update.....no more errors or force closes..... reinstalled the older gmail apk and booya got it back. at first the widget wouldnt work but removed it from the homescreen then re-added it... perfect now. except it wont resize since older gmail apk

now if someone could upload their gmail apk with 3.1 that has the widget... i think that qould work!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tcjaym:
The same thing was happening to me so i downloaded the file again but on my PC instead of transformer and then put it on my transformer and don the power down method and it worked perfectly
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rockcrawler:
Same version as you and I still have my widget.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] sunnyd71:
I'm registered there but at the thread

hxxp://forum.androidcentral.com/asus-eeepad-transformer/88744-transformer-3-1-update-here.html

only see the multi-upload link. Am I missing something?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
When I updated my unit the dock was updayed without any message. You have to have thedock plugged in to get the update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krash183:
repost sorry
[Eee Pad Transformer General] slajeune:
For anybody with the exclamation point error, try this file:

http://www.multiupload.com/B3N1MYVM98

It's the untared zip file. This one worked for me while the .tar one gave me the exclamation point error.

Cheers,

Stephane.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
Tried that as well but alas no cigar
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sunnyd71:
Thanks but no luck with that either. Can you try to extract that zip file and see if you get a CRC error? I do with every download and assume this is the problem. The tar extracts cleanly normally but I do not know if the tar even has a CRC.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadowjin:
same here.. both methods dont seam to work.. i even used the download mirror from Android Police.

btw ive even done a full system reset and same issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
Frustration!!!!!!!!!! :s
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
which country are you in ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
It's obvious you need to untar it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sunnyd71:
I downloaded the zip file on a remote machine and it unzipped cleanly with no CRC errors. So our issue is that the download is becoming corrupt. I'm trying to now figure out how to get it from the remote machine to mine without corruption and then testing the theory.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadowjin:
Anaheim California, USA
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
This update leaked is only for US versions... so if you do not have a US spec transformer, you should not be flashing this.

people should read before they act.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
Maybe it has something to do with the naming of the zip? I did try just update.zip but to no avail.......... its almost half past 3 in the morning here in Sydney ...... I've been trying everything for the past 6 hours still **** outta luck
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
Yeah I thought as much ........ damn I guess we will have to wait for the official release
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
Strange......... the released zip is for us tf's did u get urs from abroad?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadowjin:
Nope United states.. even has the sku as US on the Tablet
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sunnyd71:
Ok I figured out the exclamation mark error! When downloaded at home, the zip file will give CRC errors if you try to extract it. You don't need to extract it but the system does when updating and this is why it failed. Test your zip file to check for corruption.

Downloaded it on a remote machine, extracted fine with no CRC errors. Dropboxed it to home computer, no corruption. Installed and working.

Here is a dropbox link for the download:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3411513/EP101_SDUPDATE.zip

EDIT: Also to add on, TAR files do not contain any CRC checks so it extracts the zip fine, however that zip is corrupted and unable to be extracted on a PC or the Eee Pad. I don't understand why there is corruption in any of those downloads since TCP is a reliable protocol with error checking but it seems to be the case here. I'm unsure if downloading from my dropbox link will help, perhaps an ftp download would be best? If so I can upload that for the others with the error. Let me know if that is needed.

Edit 2: I have a non-US TF and it worked fine now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] yohanpra:
No idea bro .......... mines a stock tf no root but got it shipped from china........can't get the update on my tf ....... guess cos the zip is for us machines
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadowjin:
yep !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This method worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks dude!!! I would buy some beer for figuring this out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the US version.. worked perfectly no more (!)

update 2: I used a MicroSD card, followed his instructions, (did not change the name of the file) and used the power off than reboot method .
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ls3mach:
Rooted with 3.1. This thing is awesome. I am going to try some overclocking, but not sure why I need to.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mootmoot:
Those of you with an SDcard but no microSD card are in luck. Follow the original renaming instructions (renaming to US_epad-user-8.4..4.5.zip) except don't place the file under ASUS/Update on your SD card. Instead, put it directly in /sdcard aka the transformers internal sd card. Reboot. See the update triangle! Click. Wait. Enjoy!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eugene_saz:
Just updated mine tf to 3.1 from tw (taiwan) fw to the leaked us.

Everything went smooth - happy with it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cliffr39:
You did WAY more than I did to restore the widget. All I did was use the gmail.apk that was already in /system/app .. copy it elsewhere and installed it. But here is the file for you to download if you want http://www.multiupload.com/24Z4FQRGLV
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jamieyates79:
Thanks. I'm downloading from Dropbox now to see if this works.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krash183:
nope still not workimg no idea whats wrong
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jamieyates79:
The download from Dropbox hasn't worked for me either. Still getting the exclamation symbol and the 'System updated failed. (12)' message when it reboots :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ClevelandBrown:
Same here.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bobcatuk:
Same Here .
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadowjin:
Based on your Flag in your profile im guessing your in the UK? The drop box only has the US version of the update..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadowjin:
UK or US? the update is US only.. everything else might or will not work. For me..(in the US) i kept getting the exclamation untill his drop box method. I just put the file without changing any names in my MicroSD card, powered off, held down power and Volume down, than up after it indicated to press up and it self installed.

update: I didn't extract the file ,i just dropped in in the MicroSD. The Transformer extracted it for me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bobcatuk:
im in the uk, i shall wait for the official asus ota update :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tone503773:
I got that also the first time I tried to update what I had to do was

1. Download the .tar file

2. Use root manager to go inside the .tar file and extract the file named "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip".

3. When it says Extract Complete choose Go To Extracted (you now have a Extracted folder on your internal memory)

4. Go in to the Extract folder and rename the file you extracted "US_epad-user-8.4.4.5.zip"

5. Copy the newly named file on to your SD card

6. Eject your SD card and reinsert, it should recognize then.
