I know it's just a phone, that doesn't function as intended. But others on here will actually defend the phone, if you say one bad word, towards the phone or that it has alot of known issues, people will call you, arrogant, stuck up and stupid, acting like nine years old's, in the peocess, throwing mindless insults at each other, for essentially a stupid phone.

I do understand all phones have bug's and issues, that nothing perfect, especially right from launch. But this phone has more serious issues that need to be addressed, that making the phone unreliable, due to it's random lockup's and powering off randomly. It was to the point that almost everyone sold theirs cheap on eBay and Craigslist and that T-Mobile pulled it off their site!! My issue is the way LG is going about and handling the whole situation or lack of, sure I say. And the biggest problem is the lack of communication, any updates we receive so far, has been thru T-Mobile guessing and hoping LG will make thing's right.

And we wonder why companies get away with what they want, due to people actually keeping a known defective product and actually defending it like if it was a living person? If the phone had started acting up within two weeks period, I've would have returned it that day, and bought a different model, or held off in buying the phone until they work out the bugs. If we all did this, LG might have taken notice and worked harder to fixed the issues, as they are losing alot of money. Now they could careless!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Every G2x customer sold their phone? Not so sure about that. I do agree the lack of communication is disappointing. I will reserve judgement until the update is released. My phone rocks. No issues. I would like better battery life, but apparently android just sucks regarding battery life.

I understand some have had a few legit issues. My first one started rebooting every 15-20 minutes and I returned it. It was just a couple times at first and then got worse and worse. I walked in, had the tmo kid turn on the phone and made him watch it until it rebooted. This was after the 14 day peroid. They happily gave me a new phone. I guess I am just lucky.

im ready to go http://twitter.com/randypiacentin1 LETS DO THIS!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
They tried this with the Vibrant and it went nowhere! Your wasting your time, the G2X only been out 3 months. It took 6 months for the Vibrant to get any sort of update.

Different companies, but I'm sure same results. I'm guessing by end of Oct. We should have something.

By then I'll have the Hercules and will have moved on to different problems. Why? Because every phone has issues, some worse than others.

Not saying it's ok, but it is what it is.

....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
I don't know you.

But I eBayed one from Puerto Rico and its working perfectly. If you don't believe others, why should other believe you?

Can't you accept there are some....wait for it......*gasp* perfectly working G2xes out there?

This is the same shti happened in Tmobile HD2 forum not long ago.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] retropcdos:
You are lucky then, as I 've on my third one already, all three of them having the same issues, the fact of the matter is, I am not the only one, I know people that had it exchanged upto as high as nine times already, for different issue and most being the same issues. Some of which is hardware related issues and not just software. And no I am not talking about just the screen blacklight bleeding thru, I am talking about the charging circuit defect and HSPA+ modem or CPU/GPU overheating, that the reason why the phone reboots when talking on it for awhile, or weak signal, or when charging, or heavy usage.

If you sent it out to LG for repair you more then likely get a different phone back, if it was just software issues, they would just reflash the phone and you get the same phone back!!

To be honest not sure what the problem is, but does seem to be a problem with the tegra 2 chipset or 4G modem causing the overheating to the point the phone get very hot and yes I am running the latest CM7 and still have the issues, granted not as bad, as less resources are running, but notice when you actually start using the phone more heavily. And notice the issue after about two weeks of getting it replaced and not right away.

Maybe it's because keep the phone on and never turn it off or talk on it alot, but it's a phone!! It sure be design for that. I also have HTC sensation and have yet to have any major issues with it, or had to power it off onces. I actually liked the LG G2x better then the HTC sensation, when the G2x works, due to the fact that HTC Locked the Bootloader, which sucks. and the G2x has better hardware overall, has a Wolfson Audio Hub Audio DAC with better audio pre-amp and better ULP GeForce GPU 8-core GPU, faster 4G modem. I really wanted to like this phone and pretty much held out like everyone else has. But how long is reasonable, for them to fix the issues?

And not being biased against LG in anyway. I also have a LG G Slate tablet and haven't had any issues with it. To be honest rather them take longer to get the update right, then rush it, all I asking is that they communicate better, or recall the phone, if it does have hardware issues. Denying that there even a problem with the phone is a very bad sign and not offering a refund or exchange for different model and just replacement of the phone, makes matter worst, especially when it's been replaced three times already.

And no I don't expecting the petition, to work on it's own!! I plan on also taken any necessary legal action, to get LG to correct the problems. And going to think twice about ever buying another LG product and tell others to do the same. And if I do take any legal action, it going to be due to, lack of updates, major defects, making the phone unreliable and poor customer service and lack of communication, on the issues. If you can't use the phone, as a phone because it unreliable, then what the point? It's a $500 dollar fancy toy!! I had to replaced the G2x with a HTC Sensation, due to random lockups while calling. Still have the POS LG G2x, because I am going to hold LG responsible for this device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mannyg78:
I'm out. Mine works great. No problems. Good luck!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweeklulz:
mine works perfectly.. good luck with the petition
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
Sure there are perfectly working G2x. And for those with those perfectly working phones - why are you here? This is only for those with G2x that aren't perfect.

My HD2 still works great. Never had a problem with it. Those who had problems were the kids coming from Android and Sidekicks and didn't realize that while Windows Mobile wasn't perfect out the box, there were minor things you could do to fix it. If I could put this 4G speed in my HD2, I'd dump Android and never look back. I still think its a better OS than Android or the new Windows Phone crap.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hockeymandan2828:
I'm on my 5th one.. Some how ALL of them have had problems! My newest one, the touchscreen is rather unresponsive, and the speaker sounds like complete garbage. Whoever I talk to sounds like a muffled robot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
I think ebay is a good place to buy these phones. Because if you find one from a reliable seller they're not gonna sell you a rebooting phone because they don't want bad feedback. I got mine off of ebay. Literally not one thing has happened. It's perfect.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] whoamanwtf:
This phone is amazing.. you can recall yours to my door if you want, Ill give you a Vibrant! haha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] amlaria:
same, i can give you guys a fascinate if you want to trade for a true crappy phone... no issues with my G2x other than me crashing the phone a few times with trying to hit 2ghz overclock, tho nothing CWM recovery couldnt fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blktalon:
I would never recall this phone, and if they didn't recall the damn original Cliq you'll never see them even talk about this phone.

Have a bit of perspective, for goodness sake.

I like the G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
That is a good one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Randyc2800:
Yep, I love mine. Rooted with stock GB. Sure, it has a bit of screen bleed, so what? Not a big deal. If you are so unhappy, I'll trade you my Nexus S, and a Vibrant for your crappy G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Randyc2800:
I, and I'll swear to this on a stack of bibles, have had zero problems with my G2X. I guess I have been lucky so far, and I'm knocking on wood now.....(short pause to knock on desk), and I would not trade it for anything currently on the market. I have had a G1, which I still have, a MT3G slide that had speaker and sound issues and was replaced under warranty with a choice of a Vibrant instead, which I still have, a G2, which was a good phone, but not great, which I sold, a Nexus S which I still have and love, and the G2X. I prefer the G2X over them all, with the Nexus S coming in at second. All phones were rooted.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k00zk0:
To anyone stating their phone has no problems, yes it does.

LG did not follow simple instructions on circuit design.

Audio chips are supplied with instructions and diagrams on implementing the chip into the rest of the device so the specifications on the chip stay true. With every G2x there is very audible totally unacceptable noise from the output. Not cause anything is faulty but because they either didn't understand, didn't care to make it right and cut corners, or ran out of time to optimize the layout, and pushed it to market too fast.

Let alone, the battery life. Even if it works for most people and gets them though the day, it is IMPOSSIBLE to obtain the stated spec no matter what you do with the phone. I would bet that if an OS was coded for it that did absolutely nothing with any of the hardware during standby, it would not last 430 hours through standby. The talk time is quoted as 6.8 hours but in actuality it is two. I would accept 4 or 5 hours, thinking my intense use of the phone is what is not letting me get this "up to 6.8 hour" time, but when it is 30% of the spec, something is very wrong.

Forget the phone for a second. With a million proofs of this phone's realistic specs, why hasn't LG removed the lies from their specification page? It's the least they can do instead of play ignorant or flat out lie.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wu_wei_lion:
That line works with everything. Good usage. Sha-ZAY-um.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Randyc2800:
All manufacturers lie about standby and talk time. And as far as "very audible totally unacceptable noise from the output", what are you talking about? Yes, I do have that problem, but only when my girlfriend calls me. Not the phone's fault at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] antoniouslj:
After seeing all these "I'm leaving" threads, I'd like to do a little experiment. It's quite obvious some of you bought the G2X thinking it would be the perfect phone, void of any major flaws.

I'd like to compile some data and find out what device the G2X replaced for you and also if you are bonified happy with the G2X.

For me, I came from the Nexus One (which I still have and that is now collecting dust), and I am very happy with my G2X. My particular device has difficulty maintaining UV while sleeping and also has some minor backlight bleed, but I am still very happy with my purchase.

BTW, the reason I posted this thread in General, is because all the "announcement" threads are also located here.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
I came from the nexus one as well and am happy. Only froze on me once, no reboots and you only see any screen bleed if in a dark room and a black screen. My only complaint is my data seems to lock up after using it a bit and I have to resort a minute or 2 before it works again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] antoniouslj:
I had that problem occasionally with my Nexus and also with the G2X now. I think it's more of a problem with tower load than anything else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I also came from a Nexus One.

I love this phone. Mine is rock solid. Kinda feel bad for everyone who seem to be having so many problems with theirs. Although I can't help but wonder if the problems are actually that widespread or if its a very vocal minority.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] anthonylokrn:
I came from the HTC EVO and I am very happy with the G2X. The G2X, in my case, only have a slight light bleed at the very top corners, other that, everything else is bugs in the software that will eventually get straightened out.

The EVO...was definitely the worst phone I have ever owned based on physical quality control.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] antoniouslj:
Believe it or not, but that's the first time I've ever heard someone say that... Did you try multiple devices and get all lemons, or just settle with your first one? I have several friends that have EVO's and love them... given they aren't what you'd call geeks though. Maybe the EVO really was too mainstream to be accepted by geeks like us.

On that note, maybe the G2X can also be placed in that category, albeit at a slightly higher level... in other words it takes the geekiest geek to enjoy the G2X despite it's flaws.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
I came from the Dell Venue Pro...a Windows Phone 7 device. Not new to Android...having had the Cliq, My Touch and the Nexus One...I ordered my N1 about 2 minutes after the site went online that day

I am still very happy with my Dell, and WP in general. But I am estatic about my G2x. No buyers remorse, no regrets
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Kagerusui:
I came from the G1 lol.

Huge improvement however the g1 had way better GPS and battery life.

I've not experience any crashes our reboot but I did experience a few "battery overhear" issues

[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
Came from the HD2 running CM7. I loved that phone...and now I love this one. I've only had two reboots...both times shortly after plugging it into my laptop (connection?). The only other complaint is the the scuffs and the small chip out of the glass from dropping it three times. Stupid me, I had no case or screen protector; and the concrete isn't kind. Anyway...I love it!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] antoniouslj:
You know... I remember when I got my G2X and I tested the GPS on the stock froyo rom. It locked in seconds... I'm thinking the GPS problems will all be fixed with a new set of drivers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaydilla:
WOOO! Thought I had a problem phone since I was not getting any data and after tmobile removed all data connection, and re-added, all is well again. This is coming from not getting ANY data the last day.

This phone is now the beastziLLa I thought it was. No issues here other than battery life which seems to be random on my end (pretty much no drain overnight, but does typically last the entire day for me).

Great phone! (coming from a rooted/modded HD2 which I still love and dont know what to do with it, anyone looking for an HD2?)

Peace!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] witeboy07:
I came from a mytouch 4g...but had a hd2 for a while...and so many other phones...g2..cliq2...sidekick 4g...but this phone seems to be what I was looking for...I'm a phone person so ill soon get the sensation ..

But I still love this phone..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brett_day:
I had a MT4G which was an excellent phone, never had any issues with it. Despite its flaws, I love my G2X equally though.

Just realized we're from the same city! Wow...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] darbear5610:
I came from the G1 too. Ran everything since CM5 to Froyo By Laszlo. Too bad the dev's test phone blew up. He could have kept the development going. Right now I'm on my 2nd G2x, because my first one had a screen defect...and a dead pixel...and GPS issues...and random reboots...It pretty much sucked.

I desperately needed a replacement. But I wanted to give the G2x another try because I like the G2x overall. I'm not quite liking the Sensation yet, even with the features it has over the G2x. The date number for the broken one was 5-06-2011, and my new one is 5-14-2011. My replacement certainly works better, but I don't think I can flash ANY of Faux's kernels onto it. I haven't tried Trinity yet though.

Other than that, it works perfect. GPS works, Wi-fi, no reboots. So far 5 hrs off the charger and it's at 71%. It's a toss-up. You have a chance to get a good one or a bad one. But if you get a good one, it's a keeper.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] qinstaller:
I came from whats in my sig had that phone for 2 years and loved it Bought my g2x on launch day. Totally happy with the phone I did get one replacement 6 days in due to major screen bleed. New one has it in the extreme top corners but nothing I cant live with. I have had 3 reboots but the phone was full operational by the time I picked it up so again nothing I would complain about. I didn't have much hope for battery life as battery technology has long since been behind the curve in advancement. I average with features turned off and moderate use (look at news 2 or 3 times a day the occasional youtube video search for wire schematic, constant texts from the wife) about 11 hours. Now with all the features on GPS, wifi, and such and the same moderate use about 6 or 7 hours. but if I add in an hour long charge sometime around mid day everything is perfect. It's a bad ass phone, I am happy with my purchase and with the Dev support I see roaming in here I will probably sport the G2x for the next 2 years lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brett_day:
That is so cool! What a small world! Nice to have a neighbor on here :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vertiginouz:
I came from a G2, loved that phone because of the easily removable battery door, hardware keyboard, and LED light. However, I am very satisfied with my G2x even though I miss those three features.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] itslinx:
My previous phone was the Nexus One. I was EXTREMELY happy with that phone. Best phone I have ever had by far. Before that was the G1. That phone eventually got slow and sluggish and the Nexus One never did. It was smooth from day one up until the day I had it a week or so ago. I don't really regret selling it since I technically got something better, but i'm not sure how much more I like this phone right now.

It's great as far as the look of the phone. It's a fast phone. But the GPS not working is a huge turn off right now. I don't use it a real lot, but I use it a small amount at work when driving. The GPS was extremely slow and sluggish the few times I tried using it. It would sometimes take a little while for the GPS to start as well. Aside from the GPS, I haven't really had any other issues. It has restarted a few times that i've actually seen, but that isn't a huge deal to me. The battery life has been pretty good.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tooter1:
I gave up my G2 for this G2x and, I haven't had one problem with it.

I do miss my G2 but, my wife has one now if I want to go back to it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I wonder what makes the difference between phones because my G2X has had no problems with GPS. The stock rom would lock within a couple of seconds. Now I'm using Ultimate G2X rom and it still locks on within 10-15 seconds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
came from the mt3g (go figure) had the G1 before that lol... I guess I was really in need for an update... I like the phone its fast I dont have much issues except the battery likes to overheat, and minimal screen bleed. So I like the phone, but still prefer HTC, I'll be heading that way soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gamefreakgcb:
I came from the Nexus S. I'm a flash-a-holic....well, I was a flash-a-holic, custom ROM's won't let me play my Plansts vs. Zombies on the G2x. My biggest disappointment is the screen by the way (I sort of knew that coming in). Am happy with my purchase so far, but waiting for the SGS 2.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Came from a Galaxy S 4G. Some things I miss like much better screen, native .mkv and .avi playback without skipping, and the much better sound with the Voodoo sound mod. Other than that, the G2x is better in every other way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jaydilla:
Yep, Ultimate rom is the most stable. Everything works without issue (on my end at least).

Anyone having data issues, have t-mobile completely remove data and re-add it. Solved all my data issues although no guarantee it will solve your issues.

Peace!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gimiento:
N1, love the g2x. Though I miss the form factor of the n1, wish g2x was same size screen smaller form. And I really really miss trackball notifications. But it was a good upgrade.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
since late november of 2010, i went from a MT4G to a G2 to a G2x. the G2x hardware, screen is superior, and honestly the SW bugs have not bugged me a whole lot and after seeing 2 of the same pics on the screen side by side on the MT4g (wife uses it) and my G2x its night and day, it was a pic of a green wedding cake and hers it looked army green looking and on my g2x it was a nicer green color. i gave the G2 to a friend and he loves it, i do like it but in daylight its useless, and looking at that screen compared to my g2x, i simply cannot go back at all, i have not even thought twice for any reason other than the hardware keyboard and even that isnt bugging me too much.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] anthonylokrn:
It was indeed the first one from launch. Radioshack could not set any aside for me to do an exchange so they were always out of stock.

HTC says 7-10 days turn-around time once they receive it for warranty, which I could never do it since I can not be without a phone for that long.

Since I now have the G2X, I shipped my EVO to HTC for warranty right before the 1-year warranty was up. Shipped on 6/3, they received it 6/6, and it is now still "processing" as of 6/16...there goes the 7-10 days turn-around.

For all I know, my EVO had horrible light leakage and two hot/bright spots on the screen. The rear battery cover squeaked and did not sit flush with the body. Sense is a pos UI (lucky we had CM7), and WiMax was completely pathetic.

I think HTC, overall, used 4 different LCD screens since launch. Took them four tries to get it straight.

None the less, I'm back with a GSM phone and will probably never go back to CDMA. Easier for me to borrow a phone if needed.

Well I had the sgs 4g for bout 4 days then returned that for the g2x. Had the HD2 since release before that. Great phone sold it to an xda member and never looked back.

I did have to return my g2x 5 times before getting a good one now. So ya I'm very happy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] drumsforjs:
Coming from,

Evo

Galaxy s

G2

Nexus one

Mytouch 4g

And I had all of them withing 2 months talk about finding and hitting the sweet spot with the g2x. The moment I held it in my hand I was like yup love at first sight its her LOL. My g2x has only minor light bleed that's it and its from March 27,2011 I guess I got one of those lucky good ones. But other than that I love this phone freaking fast coming from all those phones this phone just hit the spot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hiryuu:
Upgraded from a G1 and I am very happy.

I do have slight screen bleeding and occasional problems with rebooting/disconnecting network but I'm hoping the Gingerbread update will help... if not I'll probably try to get a replacement.
