What is the point of these...I'm fed up and I'm leaving...threads? Really? Are you looking to be talked out of it? Do you want to be congratulated? I just don't understand...

If you want a different phone, get a different phone. Making a thread about it just seems...pointless.

...just like this post. :p

Anyway, sorry you had bad luck with this phone and better luck with the next.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
I just am looking for what ever insight I can find. Plus if no one was to show any kind of frustration or praise, other people wouldn't really know what kind of phone they are getting into. I don't know, something to vent some garbage out of my head lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
great for you. g2x ****s on sensation but go right ahead and get it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
my sentiments exactly. idc if u hate the phone, get a different device. i dont need or want to know lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hukkguai:
In regards to quality control, HTC isn't all that great either. I know we have tons of HTC fans out there and some flame will be thrown but as a Tmo retail rep, I encounter various phones that are defective all the time. If you want something that will probably not have issues, go with a Blackberry as their QC is great!

Just because you had a G2 that was working properly doesn't mean you won't get an HTC without problems. It does happen and in my experience I do see it happen quite a bit. I still remember days where we would have stacks upon stacks of myTouch Slides and 4Gs in our return piles that we would need to send back to corporate.

Not trying to dissuade you. Just wanted to put it out there that just because HTC builds awesome phones doesn't mean they are without their share of issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
Yeah I know HTC has its lemons, and I am really not trying to sound like an HTC fan, but usually the problems aren't as bad as this. I have had an N1, G2, MT4G, all had minimal problems like either dust under the screen or a dead pixel and that was mostly the N1. I was just picky with the G2 and pestered warranty. The MT4G was the same thing, except when I got it BNIB and it had a dead pixel that was the only time. All would always get replaced and have a 100% perfect device. With the G2x that hasn't happened yet. I am hopefully getting my replacement in a few hours, so it might be a lemon, or a perfect device that would convince me to stay with the phone.

I am hoping to stay with the G2x though because I really do like the functions it has, HDMI out is killer, the bezel and speakers are something I like, the curved edges, but screen bleeds and overheats are just dulling down the greatness of this phone.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] againareku:
I tried a Sensation today.....

Pros?

Lighter weight

Shape fits better in hand

Slightly smaller yet BIGGER screen

ACTUAL NOTIFICATION LIGHT

ACTUAL FM RADIO

Cal log splits calls [missed, incoming, outgoing]

Music player cleaner and more options

Clock's built in alarm has music as alarm option

HTC native flashlight app [with multiple led brightness]

Cons? Used it for 20 minutes so nothing obvious. I am definitely wondering how good the battery life is, how the MHL cable works for HDMI and how expensive the cable actually is, data speeds and signal quality, voice calling quality.

Noticed TEGRA Zone app installed by DEFAULT..which seemed weird...why does a Sensation have the tegra zone?

I'm feeling pretty mixed up right now. I do love my G2X..but in 20 minutes I came up with THAT many pros, and some of them are something no software upgrade can fix. GB or the fix won't magically add an FM RADIO hardware or notification light..

Getting a Nokia Astound tomorrow morning in the mail, seeing if the Iphone 4 t-mobile wednesday launch story on tmonews is real, and seeing what the upgrade/fix actually does and ends up fixing and ADDING to the G2X...then there will be quite a few choices...which I can't believe but two of them involve leaving Android [if I like the Astound and it does what I need it to do, or if the iPhone story is real and an iphone running on actual 4g is good enough for me]

Then again, the upgrade for G2X might just make it that much better...or I'll cave as well and leave for the SENSATIONAL heaven of having an actual NOTIFICATION LIGHT and FM RADIO [seriously LG, would it have killed you to spend $10 to make it so??]
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
Getting another warranty replacement . . . . Same issues as before, only thing that is better is the screen bleed is less crazy. Once I get the 3rd exchange they usually have a program where you are eligible for a different device. I will try then.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] anthonylokrn:
I'm done with HTC since owning the Evo. Worst phone I've ever had in quality control.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
I don't know about the EVO, but ever GSM HTC phone I have had has been pretty much awesome.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
I played with a Sensation. . .I think I am just going to stick with the G2x and keep getting replacements. . . .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
What was it you didn't like about the Sensation?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
Screen wasn't as good, and neither was brightness. I don't know, G2x felt a bit more solid, but Sensation felt more comfortable in the hands. Maybe when the bootloader is unlocked and CM goes on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
I felt just the opposite. Sensation reminded me of the N1 build and that's a good thing IMO. It's the smallest 4.3" phone I've ever felt. Felt just right in the hand. Things that bugged me about the g2x were BT connectivity. Not an issue with the sensation, A2DP out of the box (connected to my car as well). Locked bootloader sucks but I'll take reliability over speed anyday.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
Yeah that's how I felt, but I still have to wait until Friday to convince. It did feel really nice, but from solid I mean, doesn't feel hollow. Sensation felt like that some how.

G2x bugs me by the HW defects.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Screen bleed are the only hw defects I know of. The rest is whacky software bugs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Yeah, I completely agree.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
Every replacement I have has dust under the screen, along with screen bleed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
You are the first person I've seen complain about dust. Not dogging you. Just saying that I had not heard that one yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pinhead:
You are not the only one. I bought my G2x the first day that it was available on T-Mobile and really think it was the best phone I have owned. These devices get so much nicer every few months...it is amazing. However, I couldn't rely on it. We all have read about the problems and I couldn't deal with them any more.

I forced a store manager to concede that the phone was simply bad. He watched it reset on him while he was trying to prove that nothing was wrong. This was only a few minutes after he pulled the battery because it was frozen when I walked into the store. once he finally admitted that he had no idea if or when an update was coming I asked him what he would do for my situation.

He asked that I wait until the Sensation was available and he would switch the phones for me. Yesterday bring morning he did just that.

The G2x is certainly faster but the Sensation is without a doubt a better smartphone. I could do without Sense but the battery life and the stability are worth it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
I have decided to stick with the G2x. Tegra 2 > 3rd Gen Snapdragon. The HW on the G2x feels much more premium over the Sensation. Feels solid, and I love the tapered edges on the left and right side. I will deal with the screen bleed issue, and replace until I get a perfect G2x. . . . Quality control with the LCD is the only issue, and the issue isn't even that bad. It affects nothing with the phone, its only a visual defect. Although annoying. lol Frustration got the best of me and clouded the beauty of the phone.

I love CM7, and the dev support on the G2x is still strong. I will probably have this device until Nexus 3 comes out with the rumored Tegra 3.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nuBex86:
Isn't it rumored LG will be making the next Nexus too? Haha =/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
Its going to be a qHD screen I believe. I hope they use the same technologies as they used in the G2x. I LOVE the screen on the G2x. Its probably one of the main reasons why I love it, along with the dual core processor, HDMI out(dedicated port), and the great camera!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
attttt a boy tito!!!! yea bro i love my g2x i too have a little screen bleed and think everyone else does to, but so what??? really who cares u basically see it at boot up and maybe youtube on some flicks but it doesnt bother me, i know some peeps have it worst but you know what i come to the realization that u cant get a new device as soon as it comes out, there will always be a few things wrong at launch, i know most people like me cant wait lol, but u gotta give it a few months then the company gets feedback from its customer and fixes it, but like i said as far as the g2x goes i think its ahead of its time by a few months atleast and u know how a new phone can be yesterdays phone real quick lol. but i love it, the way it plays the coolest games like ex. im playing playstation 1, gran turismo, dude that **** is sick and it plays it no problem the camera on this thing is beautiful very close to the sensation, to close, il admit the sensation has better 1080p but the g2x if u think about it plays that very nice, and man the overall speed of the phone is just sick, like there coming out with tegra 3 rite? how much faster can u possibly open an app or fling the app drawer? or use the launcher, im sure it will be fasteer but i guarantee u wont be able to tell the difference, and another thing i love about the g2x is its beautiful ips lcd screen i mean it is just gorgeous, i had one of those ****ty tmobile anti-smear screen protectors on and said eff it i took it off it looked like **** it made the phone look all grainy, man it looks so crystal clear and the colors are awesome i had it off for 2 weeks now and i do not have one scratch on it this gorilla glass is awesome, yo straight up.....i effin love my phone!!! and now that cm7 fixed battery and data this thing is ridiculous......... lol sorry so long bro:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
screen is amazingly beautiful i still look at it and think damn that **** is niceeeee!!!! never gets old
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
You must have looked at a Sensation that uses that Sharp display which is not as bright or colorful. The AUO display is much brighter and more vibrant when sitting next to my G2X. It's basically luck of the draw which display you get but when you see the AUO display in person you will know it. I have never used a phone and that just doesn't go for Android devices that was so visible in Sunlight. The first Sensation I had used the Sharp display and it was lacking in the contrast and brightness department. It would also wash out at slight angles but the Sensation I have now which has the AUO panel is probably one of the best I've ever see. The blacks are dark and the colors pop almost like a Super AMOLED only sharper with less fuzziness.

There is a thread over in the Sensation forums that has a picture of two Sensations next to each other. One with the Sharp panel and one with the AUO. Even in a picture, the difference is immediately noticeable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
that sucks tho bro u gotta gamble and see which one u get, idk y a company would send a great screen out and a less inferior one u would think they would've been the same
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
LG did the same thing, it changed screen providers to see if they can fix the issue with the screen bleed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
A lot of company's and a lot of phones have wen this very route. I am not even begin to know why but my guess would be supply. The phone manufacturers want to pump out the phones but the display manufacturers can't keep up so they just ask a couple company's to make the displays. It's not that the Sharp sucks, it's just not as good as the AUO.

To answer the question that everyone is thinking as they click on this thread... Yes, I am a noob.

Anyway, I downloaded the Android Kitchen and installed it on a Linux Ubuntu Virtual Machine on my Macbook using VMWare Fusion and i watched a video from theunlockr, but all it really let me do was add in apps, change the rom name and give it a few features but no visual customizations... If i posted a link of the "My ROM" no one would be able to tell a difference in the rom i planned on starting from.

Let me know if there is a different way to create that is actually making ROMs or customizing the ROM in it's entirety instead of small unnoticeable features, let me know if I'm just doing something wrong in my Android Kitchen and let me know if theres an easy way to develop ROMs on Mac without Virtual Machines. (The last one isn't a big worry because linux is very lightweight and runs fine on my computer but please help me on the other two questions)

Thanks in advance,

[Galaxy S I9000 General] juicyhusk:
Ok this is what happened, my first i9000m I played around with a lot of roms, perfecting, upgrading, everything was perfect, I know what I am doing when it comes to flashing, etc.

I am almost 90% sure the problem started when my internal sd card started causing problems. I got random restarts, files missing, weird and random fc's, so I used clockwork to backup, and i was also copying files from my internal sd, to my external.

I had insanity installed, and I think just upgraded to GB, or it was around time when 2.3.3 started coming out, I rebooted to recovery, and int sd said didn't exist, or could not mount, something like that

I tried a lot of methods listed online, using odin I flashed a stock jvb using odin, it finished successfully, rebooted, and recovery came up and did the usual upgrading, etc, but it would not go through due to int sd problem.

I tried a bunch of stuff, then one night I let my (not so smart) friend look to see what I was up to, he ended up using odin to flash a custom VIBRANT rom, usually my phone starts with animated i9000m screensaver galaxy s, but this said samsung vibrant, anyway I was angry, the phone rebooted, now it will not power on, or do anything at all.

Also, before the wrong rom was flashed, I bought a 301k resistor jig from ebay to force in to download mode, that worked great until after the incorrect rom was flashed.

After this I was VERY angry, so angry I went out and bought a new i9000m, haha

My Galaxy S fetish has been restored, and my phone works great.

So... here is what I have been thinking, and reason I posted this thread...

I have ead about jtag's, etc and wondering is there anything I can do to fix my broken i9000, especially seeing how I have a working phone exact same model here with me as well.

So can anyone out there give me idea's, etc... anything??!

Thanks in advance for reading this!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] juicyhusk:
I also wanted to add...

A few months ago I bought a SIM card reader/writer/cloner

-USB to RS232 adapter

-Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 chip.

-Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port

Maybe I can make my own uart?

Optional Mods

GPS fix hopefully for European Users-needs testing

Data2extInstaller thanks to Sibere, Droidzone, ( I just repackaged it so no need to toggle the verification )

**For data2ext- One Fat32 partition followed by one ext4 partition 2GB or smaller (1GB is optimal). Flash 2.1,not the apps2sd version. Boot once to make sure to flash was ok but do not sign in or install anything, power off, wipe dalvik cache, and flash Data2extInstaller.zip and reboot.

Hi...

I just installed the rom on my phone and everything went well... The first bug I see is I don't have acess to all apps in the market... Like Inrix Traffic.. I get the message it doesn't exist...

Thanks!

My bad. Trying to edit the build.prop while watching the game. New V1.0 zip is uploaded and a new link provided. v1.0 app2sd fixed and uploading now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks man, will give it a try right now... does it have FM Radio included? Thanks once again!
[Nexus One Android Development] IceNova:
i'm interested in something like this since geo quit doing his thing... i am curious however if it is possible to get t-mobile theme engine to work your rom... CM7 spoiled me xD
[Nexus One Android Development] tagme:
Nice!!

Thanks A LOT!!! :D
[Nexus One Android Development] MarkDenver:
It is possible to get it working but it is a lot of work and modifying many .apks from source for all the redirections to work properly. There are many CM7 ROMs out there with this feature built in so I am not going to spend the time doing it. Also, the Gingerbread stock launcher would not handle it well and I don't plan on changing to ADW or LauncherPro. I do plan on customizing the look of this ROM and am open to suggestions. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] wind0zer:
[APP] Spirit FM Radio (real radio TI/Broadcom) - xda-developers is similar to miui and htc sense radio because it has RDS aka text-info of station/song name. BTW is there a pull-down notification power widget for N1? I found notif-pw-widgets for desire hd and evo - not sure if they will work on nexus though. I hope to try out Go Launcher Ex. I think it's free on the market. Adding famous htc sense LWP and nexus S microbes LWP would be nice addition to STOCK.
[Nexus One Android Development] MarkDenver:
The FM Radio is dependent on the kernel and until I find a custom kernel that i am happy with or build one myself, there wont be an FM Radio included in this ROM. I am working on implementing the power widget and if it doesn't break the build it will be included in the next release. I am trying to do as many things as I can without diminishing the functionality and stableness of stock ROM. Microbes Nexus S LWP is already included in this ROM.

Facebook sync

Hi!

App2sd fix work perfect! I have another bug... Facebook won't sync at all... I have the option to add facebook in accounts and sync but when I select it, nothing happens...

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus One Android Development] miguelm75:
does it have trackball wake and Polish language? if not, will you add it in future? could be very nice :-)
[Nexus One Android Development] MarkDenver:
Ok thanks for noticing that, I never would have. I think it is somewhere in the source code Google is trying to block Fcebook because "they collect data and keep it to themselves for advertising purposes and they don't use the Google API for contacts". I will work on it when I get back into town tonight.
[Nexus One Android Development] miguelm75:
one more question: what about battery life and which kernel do you recommend?
[Nexus One Android Development] MarkDenver:
Yes Polish language is included. As far as trackball wake, I am not a fan because it always wakes up in my pocket. I can try to implement it though for you guys in the next release. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] miguelm75:
great :-) thank you.

dev, may i use this mod: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059423 and this kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1031908 with your ROM? probably yes, but want to be sure :-)
[Nexus One Android Development] MarkDenver:
I assume you can, I have not tried Tiamat's kernel with this ROM yet, but let me know if you get SOD's because I was getting them when I used it with a different ROM. I have not tried that mod though so please let me know how it goes. Remember undervolting your phone to a high extent may cause erratic behavior so be careful and good luck. Please post feedback.

Can I upgrade from 1.4 to 2.2 without reinstalling apps and settings?
[Nexus One Android Development] MarkDenver:
Uninstall Market updates in Settings/Applications.
[Nexus One Android Development] Toobie:
But the 2 finger zoom in the galery isn't included in the 1.4 or?

I installed the 1.4 modded yesterday and I cannot zoom in the galery.
[Nexus One Android Development] MarkDenver:
No I haven't updated them yet, will be coming soon.
[Nexus One Android Development] alou2:
Hi Mark,

just wanted to thank you for this simple yet brilliant ROM.

It adds just what I needed to the already excellent stock 2.3.4 like trackball wake (after killing my power button once, it is a life savior... although HTC did a great job by repairing it in less than a week, including postal deliveries... impressive), or notification power controls.

My battery life also seems longer, and I don't have to wait 3 seconds before people can here me answering the phone (isn't that a crazy bug ??).

Well, thank you very mucho !!! ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Toobie:
The difference between the 1.4 and the 1.4 modded are only the notification icons & the batt percentage ??

I do not like the green gmail icon :/

Wil the 1.5 come with the zoom fix?

Than I can wait ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] MarkDenver:
Yes and the launcher and a couple themed things is the only difference between 1.4 and 1.4-modded. V1.5 is uploaded, I know the OP is kind of confusing but read the changelog and it will explain. I am not that organized so updating 3 diff builds and keeping it clean is difficult. :) Will update V1.4-modded when finished.
[Nexus One Android Development] Toobie:
Perfect!

I flashed the 1.5 yesterday evening.

Everything seems good so far.
[Nexus One Android Development] kuljit55:
Mark will this ever get a FM radio kernal, or atleast could you point me in the right dierection to a kernal i could use with this rom thanks

The v1.4 patch doesn't work with the 1.5 mod.
