[T-Mobile LG G2x] zenstrom:
I'm not sure why anyone is surprised. Aside from some random T-Mobile CSRs (who never know what they're talking about) saying that it would be released on the 15th, T-Mobile and LG have consistently stated that it will be released 'by Summer' (June 21st.) The mods on the LG forum have stated that the rumors of it coming out in the middle of summer are wrong and that all signs point to it being released at the end of June at latest.

Calm down and wait until Tuesday. If it's not out then, go ahead and rage. Like it or not, based on other Android phones, this will likely be our last official update... let's give them the time to bug test so they get it right and our awesome ROM developers can work with a stable set of drivers.

As for all of the people *****ing and saying they're leaving for the HTC Sensation: fantastic—nobody cares.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seanathan:
Zenstrom I agree with you. I'd rather have them take their time figuring out the update rather than have it be rushed out and still buggy.

It's ridiculous that people are going to threaten to leave to the Sensation. Like LG is really going to reach out and say, "ohh no no please don't go." Fact is if you are jumping ship for issues on one phone you will probably do the same with that new phone eventually.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
Isn't it same as leaked version?

If so, I wouldn't update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
They should go spend some time on the Sensation forum. Will make you love your G2X long time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
@OP, Harold Camping much?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Does this confirm the zombie apocalypse is on for October 21st? I am so down with some zombie killing. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TurboTsi:
Do you really think the problem is hardware related? Do you not read these posts about replacements and them still having reboot issues? My phone reboots too but I know getting a replacement and sending this one back to get refurbished is not going to fix the problem. If people have been having the same problem after using replacements then maybe just maybe it could be software....

Tired of seeing posts about people doing x amount of exchanges of possibly good working hardware to just end up with the same problem. Wait till the update comes, if not by the 21st then be upset about it and contact the bbb and attorney general and the president about how much lg and tmobile sucks and there should be a class action lawsuit or whatever it is you guys want.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
kind of ironic...camping had a stroke the other day. punishment?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gubidi:
I think this tweet from LG means a lot: "GB for the #G2x is probably not coming out today. We are working with @tmobile to release an update by summer. Stay Tuned :)"

Them saying probably instead of flat out denying it tells me that the update is now in T-Mobile's hands instead of theirs, so there is no incentive for us to tweet to them. We should instead be asking T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
They've been saying that a lot. Mentioning T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jr2002ws6:
I've been lurking the forum for a while, so I absolutely knew that the problem was software related. I first wanted to hear this from T-mobile directly. Secondly, I wanted to see what the chances were of being able to get another mobile device (since I have insurance on top of the warranty), considering they are now telling customers that pretty much every stock G2X is "defective" from a software issue.

I sincerely hope that whenever they do release the software update that it fixes these reboot issues. They are going to have a mess on their hands otherwise.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Castle5665:
I would agree. At least to to the point that most of us with the G2x won't get a fix any faster by complaining or threatening to move to another device. It will be out when it is out. Whether it be a day, a month or a year. For those of us with no choice but to wait....that's the bottom line.

However, my complaints have not been leveled at t-mobile or LG in the hopes of forcing an early fix. They already F***** UP.......again. Small bugs at launch are to be expected as they have always been. Flaws that constantly choke the device are something different entirely. Some of us are lucky, many have not been. I've had three now and no luck yet. If I can't get through a single day without random reboots ending client conversations for me, there is a huge problem. One that I refuse to believe was unknown to them before launch. Assuming they have any quality control at all.

I prefer to jump to newer devices assuming they are constantly improving them in both build quality and technology. Unfortunately, at this point, I'm waiting for a fix that will make my G2x worth the money and the time I've put into it.

Will switching to the Sensation be a good move? From what I've heard, I'd be rolling the dice again and I'm not much of a gambler......nor should I have to be when it comes to this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] msage:
I must be one of the lucky ones, I've had absolutely zero problems with this phone (minus a little screen bleed) and I've had it about 2 months now. Part of me is apprehensive to take the update in fear that I may end up with problems I didn't have before lol. I also don't want to lose the LG camera app, everything I've read seems to suggest it's been replaced by a stock camera app; not cool.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
dude they would be stupid not to incorporate that lg camera app into the gingerbread build its so nice, it would def be a downgrade. idk if they are halfway smart they would keep that camera app there, theres so many options, well i know the gingerbread one has just about the same options but the lg cam is de3f more crisp and clear.....it would be wise to keep that, let me tell u something i think if they make it the regular ging camera i probably wont switch, gingerbread aint really too different then froyo in my opinion actually i find myself rite now switching from fauxs and cm's rom, back to ebfroyo 1.0.5 cuz its just as quick and i have the stock lg camera, which by the way i hope will soon be incorporated into there builds soon? maybe? lol idk anyways the new eb froyo 1.0.5 looks just like gingerbread! and it is superfast.....i know a little off topic...lg plz keep the stock camera app!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] drumsforjs:
+1 on that I'm comming from a mytouch 4g and my g2x so far flawless thanks to God. Yea mine has like minor screen bleed but I'm not picky on that don't like being a girl on the screen bleed. Overall I love this phone its fast most likely I'm going to run a custom rom since I love faux work (mytouch 4g he is awesome over there) so it will come just wait people grab a custom rom if you don't want it that's fine if you don't like waiting sale the phone get something to your liking.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
That is a little harsh. It is a shame so many have had issues with 611. I believe expectations may be a little high. The kids answering the phones for a pitiful $8 an hour are not going to be experts in all things. I have had nothing but excellent service. It could be possible that they have not been told a date and are sick of people asking for something they do not know. I rely on this site as my best source of information.

There is an update coming. The young posters here need to learn a little patience.

Side note. Played with the Sensation for about 30 minutes yesterday. You can keep it. Yes the form and shape is beautiful but the screen sucks in comparison to the G2x. That combined with a weak cpu compared to the G2x makes me happy I did not jump ship and swap.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I haven't played with the Sensation yet, but I do follow the forums. Aside from it being locked down with no key... it has lots of bugs which are way worse then a little screen bleed and a slow GPS lock.

Glad I marked the Sensation off my list a long time ago.

Luckily my G2x has been running fantastic with no issues aside from minor screen bleed (which is normal). I loaded CM7 #50 (stock kernel) last night and it just screams.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DECIM8:
I don't think T-mobile is doing itself any favors by being closed mouth with any REAL information regarding the impending update. The misinformation that their technical support seems to be spreading is not helping either. Putting out a press release stating where they are in the process of releasing the update would do wonders for their PR right now. I am not saying a firm release date, just a progress report. Yes, I realize if they tell us that the update is still months off they may have a mass exodus on their hands and they don't want to do that. The longer they go with no information though people will just begin to assume the worst and it is bad for them anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DebauchedSloth:
I doubt T-Mobile knows. They are probably waiting on LG who is probably waiting on NVidia.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
I don't think thats the way it goes. From the support side, most are contractors. The front lines we deal with are usually the $8 an hour people, designed to answer, deflect or escalate all calls within ~720 seconds. They run mostly off script. Embellishment is discouraged. They are usually informed of new releases after the fact....instead they are supplied with ..how to troubleshoot xxx. On some releases...the BIG ones, they may receive some training...most likely within 7 days of release. Ambitious ones read forums like this for their information. In the case of the GB information, the ones that give you a date are probably reading that information off of xda or similar.

This is a methodology that most Mobile Operators have adopted. Front line agents....How to trouble shoot xxx problem, in xxx seconds....NOT how to troubleshoot the G2x.

So when I hear " This is what TMobile support told me about the GB release", I know they are making it up, or throwing our words right

back at us....

And remember, this is not about your 200,300, 500 dollars to them. Its about corporate bottom line. Anything they confirm, or deny becomes actionable to them...legally. Anything that is reported unofficially by our friend the Tmobile guy, is hearsay or, unconfirmed information that was released without any official notification or structure....in short.....they talked about it on their own without any factual knowledge from TMobile.

To us, its our Money. To them, its about accountability. They are most likely willing to accept you thinking some of their people...are....not helpful, as long as you end up happy with the update and continue to buy TMobile products. If you watch across the different forums, with different companies, with different phones....you see the exact same thing happening to each of them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
People need to relax and find something else to complain about. You have 3 choices:

- Wait for the update

- Root and install a custom ROM

- Try to complain and get another phone

It is up to you but if you do not want to install a custom ROM or get another phone THEN STOP YOUR COMPLAINING AND WHINING!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DECIM8:
Discussing confidence in a company supplying a much needed fix to their product isn’t whining. I could ask you to stop making posts that whine about people whining. We could go back and forth all day. It might be amusing if your willing to try. :D

BTW, just to clarify, do you want me to find something else to whine about or stop whining all together?

I apologize for my rudeness ahead of time, I am having a weird week. ;)

Sorry but it's still not working on my Arc. When I choose "reboot into recovery", it restarts again but nothing, just "Sony Ericsson" in the screen.

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] depulle87:
since there is no feedback yet, here is some :

version : XperiaRebootOptions_v1.3.0.apk

phone : Xperia ARC

everything working fine, but only after deleting older version and after that install latest version.

It wil not replace an earlyer version but get mixed up, android sees only one app and the app does not detect my device.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] babygau:
I already got recovery boot image from here, and the software is succesffully installed but the option: reboot into recovery doesn't work, any help?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
are u sure u selected the proper Device Model (in the device detected screen)?

also if u have selected that...

then connect ur phone to pc and execute the command via adb shell:

adb reboot recovery

that should get ur phone into recovery... it it doesnt then u dont have the correct working recovery...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] babygau:
Yes, I could boot into recovery mode by fastboot but what I want is reboot into recovery mode without connecting my phone and going through fastboot mode, bcoz the software have that option, but when i choose that, it's defective, only reboot without entering into recovery mode.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
dude u need to have full working recovery in ur kernel (boot.img) not the temporary recovery loaded by fastboot....
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] xtacy!:
Please don't take it as criticism but do you think you could come up with a different icon for this app? I think this app is great but I do feel that its icon could be better.

If you feel that I'm out of line, I do apologise.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
no issues buddy...

we are working on getting this app on Android Market... it should have a full UI/graphics overhaul...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] babygau:
is it possible to flash only boot.img from freexperia rom, bcoz i'm using rooted stock rom, and it's working smoothly, so i don't want to replace it but kernel.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
i think it is possible... i have talked to jerpelea abt this and he said that the boot.img from CM7 FreeXperia ROM will also work on stock ROM...

but after flashing that kernel please check if u have wifi working (camera too)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] NeoCream:
Is it already possible to add CWM as a recovery option?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
i think so... though i havent flashed the latest CM kernel on Arc yet...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ZaWoK:
Thanks, the default firmware does not have this option.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
Which option?

sent from FreeX10_beta4+CM6apps
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] shadin:
And now, this app work with DooMLoRD's kernel....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172885

Thank you!!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
ofcourse it will work with it ;)

it will also work on CM7 kernel since my kernel uses recovery from CM7-kernel-ramdisk...
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] OTOGY2002:

Great work DooMLoRD
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Kalram:
Hi,

If I only have a root enabled stock rom, without any kind of recovery, can I still benefit from the "single reboot" option of this app?

I'm not sure I'll install a recovery on my Neo, I want to buy the app but only if it can reboot my phone :)

(Of course I don't expect fastboot and boot into recovery to work, again I just want regular reboot!)

Edit : Thanks, bought it, it works, that's a nice alternative to modifying system files :)
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DooMLoRD:
yes it will work..
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Nimche:
Just purchased it today to support your project. I see a dozen of option are coming in the near future.

Good job
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] matteh80:
Yeah. Bought it, really like it. Good work!
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] Nimche:
I am not even sure what that download mode is but I don't have it on my Xperia arc...
