So ... just went on lg website and was confused why the g2x is no longer listed in the smart phone tab. In fact the only place its listed is when you click "all phones". Its weird because all other phones pale in comparison even the " new" revolution ( single core snapdragon) is like a total step backwards. Any thoughts why? Me personally, I love my g2x and will probably keep it for the length of my tmo contract.

"If Satan lived in heaven he'd be me... "
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
It's still on the site though. That's a pretty wild assumption to make just because it's in a different category than you'd expect.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
I highly doubt LG is secretly discontinuing their flagship phone a few months after launch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
I don't think they will discontinue their greatest phone.

business is business, release it, let it stay in the limelight for a while then move it other so something else can get attention. All about the $$$
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordIzod:
That has been like that for a while now. When I first went to LG's site to look at the phone back in mid May it was hard for me to find it on their site. I'm not sure why it is not listed in the Smartphone category unless it is just an oversight by those who manage the website.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
Perfectly said. With the giant like Samsung Galaxy S II around the corner, once the SGSII is released it will age the current phones dramatically.

LG has to keep up with the times...particularly in the design department. You hold up the G2X against the HTC Sensation and even the SGSII (although it is simple it is very elegant) it makes the G2X look like grandpa.

It's all about the $
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Personal preference I guess. Rather have my G2x over either of those.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
What's so amazing about the SGSII that we don't currently have on the G2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.frankm:
OC to 1.7 ghz.

Bigger screen.

I was thinking about grabbing a gs2 when it hits here. Depends on what the T-Mobile flavor ends up being (Hercules?) But only if its a significant difference between that and their international version.

Next phone I'm gonna end up getting is probably gonna have a quadcore. I think im future proofed enough.

@OP T-Mobile also took it off their website "Supply restraints." and there was also a leak from tmonews that it'd be going up in price to 300 on contract.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
...1.5 Ghz stable...up to 1.5 Phones Only for benchmarking
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.frankm:
Antutu benchmark has 1.7 ghz gt-i9100's.

Oh and they have neon (?) - assumption.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] estarmer:
If anyone thinks LG won't drop support of their flagship phone, you should look at what they did with the Expo (Monaco) when it was released.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
I checked their website. It flashes the G2X when you open their Smartphone screen, then disappears. If you go to All Phones - it is there.

Maybe they are trying to tell buyers it is not "smart" to buy one right now as a smart phone - lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derekedw:
Samsung sucks and you're a fool if you give them business...galaxy s was a joke and sammy will find a way to screw up the sgs2 and rip off their customers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Daveheelga:
Yesterday, a t-mobile employee told me that they weren't going to offer it anymore. Said they were going to discontinue it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
By Tmo rep you mean a CSR that you got on the phone?

They don't know **** from brownies.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] freakboy13:
Well it doesn't look good for the g2x. This is kind of an update to my original post. My woman's phone finally went suck-mode. It will now, not stop re-booting itself or do the screen freeze. At least 8 or more times a day. So I call tmo, which in itself was disappointing trying to charge me 20$ restocking fee or whatever they labeled it. Not to mention the Rep tried to play dumb saying tmo was unaware of the 'big 3 " issues. She later admited they did know, they just weeny ready to make it official. Anyways long story short I finally get the fee wave and she's about to tell how long the back order iswhen she says " oh... looks like its been pulled.

Me: the g2x?

Tmo Rep: yes. But don't worry you'll still get yours.

How can a company be allowed to

A. Either deliberately tell there employyees to decieve the customers on information such as known problems or issues or

B. Have such an incompatant workforce where each employee makes up their own answers.

I'm gonna go down with the ship I guess. I'm never gonna trade myg2x in. Untilled it starts messing up which I hope is never.

BTW the womans phone is pure unmolested stock no root.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
They won my heart back after there recent move which showed just how much they want to be involved in Android development. I think right now Samsung has the best display technology out there and in my opinion they make the best looking LED's and LCD's. They also managed to squeeze more power out of a dual core mobile CPU than anyone else has and if you remember, they also managed to squeeze more power out of a single core mobile CPU (Hummingbird) than anyone else. They have there problems just like everyone else. I haven't seen a perfect phone yet from any manufacturer. I don't know about everyone else but I have no problem supporting a company that is going to give a SGSII to the Cyanogen team so they can start developing for it. It would be stupid on my part to write off the company who sells more mobile phones per year than anyone else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
Who would of thought that Samsung would have gone from goat to hero so quickly. It wasn't too long ago that people wanted their heads for froyogate. However atm, they are the most dev friendly company out there. I would have no problem supporting them in the future. That being said, one of my colleagues owns a SGS2 (on the AT&T network) and while on paper it's a beast, in reality I really couldn't discern a real difference between the sgs2 and g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
I still don't see why anyone is saying that the SGSII is so much better than our phone. They're both dual-core. The SGSII screen is nicer, obviously, but that's where it ends I think. I never overclock my phones. They're phones, no computers. We don't need the extra power when they're already dual core and most programs are made for single core phones. Yes, it's fun to play with but in practicality it makes no sense. bleh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
One of the biggest places you can tell a difference in power between the G2X and the SGSII is when playing HD Flash Videos. The reason for this is because the SGSII is the only Android device so far that has a hardware accelerated browser. Other than that, I really don't see a difference when playing games.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Yea, both UI's on each device are just as snappy but I do think it speaks volumes that Samsung laid a skin on top of Android and optimized it to the point of it being as fast has stock Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] techboydino:
With this being said I like the G2X. Big fan of Sammy after the Vibrant (hardware wise) and disappointed no branded SGS2 for TMO. Focusing more on hardware here is what I see from the specs as advantages.

SGSII / G2X:

GB 2.3

1.2Ghz / 1.0Ghz

SAMOLED+ / IPS (negotiable but nothing beats out Samsung's Screens IMO)

4.3" / 4"

1GB Ram / 512MB

2MP FFC / 1.3MP

1650mAH battery / 1500mAH

HSDPA 21 Mbps / 14.1 Mbps

Bluetooth 3.0+ / 2.1+

.90oz lighter

Same size exterior (by the numbers) but thinner.

*kanged from phonearena
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
And which of those specs are noticeable in phone performance besides the screen? 1.2/1.0 isn't going to run any currently available apps any better. Screen size is a personal preference I think and the .3 inches is actually bigger than I want. The Evo is a behemoth. That battery matters but we can easily get an aftermarket. The download speeds don't matter because at those speeds we're not really downloading any files that would warrant the slightly faster bump. Also, with a 5GB cap those speeds are a detriment more than anything. Bluetooth I can't speak for because I don't use it for anything other than file transfer or controllers and that's rare.

I just really, really like this phone and it sucks to see so many people jumping ship for the next best thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
Ummm... I for one definitely notice the glaring **** up LG made with 512MB of RAM (with about 340MB userspace depending on the ROM) - a lot of my apps that run in the background get closed constantly because of Android trying to free up RAM to keep things smooth and I get a lot of lag. I pretty much consistently have only 20-30MB of my RAM free for use and my apps get closed as a result of it.

As for the device itself... I run mine at 216 min/1500 max every day and I don't have any real issues with it. The battery life sucks, even undervolted to stock voltage at 1400 (yes my processor is THAT good - it needs about 50 more mv to hit 1500 than it uses stock at 1000) but that's to be expected since both cores are ALWAYS sucking power even though one is hardly ever used.

As for them discontinuing the device... I highly doubt that is the case. Once the bulk of the community found out about the discontinuance, T-Mobile would be getting a lot of calls demanding the Sensation or whatever high-end device is out at the time because of ______ issue with their G2x. Most likely T-Mobile pulled it to wait for LG to fix the issues and release a Gingerbread upgrade with the fixes necessary for the phone to be acceptable out of the box.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
That part I agree with and overlooked it I guess. Apologies.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I can't really speak for the GSII in terms of running apps faster but I can tell you from personal experience that apps can get faster. 90% of the apps I use run quicker on my Sensation than on my G2X. Google Maps for instance loads almost twice as fast on the Sensation than on the G2X.

Don't take people leaving the phone so personal. People always leave phones for the next best thing and that's how the cookie crumbles. Different strokes for different folks. Some people love the G2X, some people just like it and some people hate it. I for one like it but I just like the Sensation a little more. I am hoping I can LOVE a device once the GSII/Hercules hits Magenta.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
Well, There is. Our g2x is capable of playing any big 3d game out there while the sgs2 can't :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] techboydino:
Im not jumping ship, I love my G2x. I'm just pointing out some differences. But I do think that most of those things are quite noticeable. I personally don't care about the FFC, but better is always nice. The screen is a huge difference. SAMOLED is noticeably better IMO when side by side and SAMOLED+ should make even more difference in daylight and color. Ram, data speed, and larger screen are all on my top list of things that matter. They are unchangeable core characteristics of the device.

The SGS2 is physically the same size overall, just has a larger screen fit in the same amount of space. Who wouldn't want that along with a slimmer shell?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Not because the GSII's CPU/GPU isn't capable. Its because some developers havnt optimized there games to play nice with Exynos.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maikel16:
Hello,

My desire hd's volume button broke.

So I wanna go back for warranty.

I still have a stock 2.2 rom rooted. I backupped it before I flashed a custom one.

If I restore that, and then update to official 2.3. Will it then unroot and go back to factory ?

Or how do I unroot ? And get S-on ?

Anyone help pls, I'm going back to the store tomorrow :).

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Flashing your custom ROM will not remove ENG S-On, S-Off or Unroot.

Read jkoljo's Thread here: [TOOL][VIDEO] One click Radio S-OFF, SimUnlock (Easy Root & S-OFF Guide)

To go back to S-ON:

Flash stock ROM - Make sure it's named "PD98IMG.zip" & place on SDCard

Boot Bootloader & it will check for the PD98IMG.zip file, and ask if you want to install, Yes. Follow the promps. After boot.......

Temproot using Visionary

Use my tool, do Stock CID and S-ON (enter brand CID if you had a branded device, see second post)

Enjoy your factory-state phone

Just follow his guides exactly, and you will be right. Flashing the RUU will remove root, restore stock HBOOT, Radio & Recovery, but does not remove S-Off, so that's why you use Visionary for temp root & use the tool after.

When done, don't forget to remove Visionary & Superuser

Hope it work out OK.

EDIT: Didn't read your post properly. By flashing your backed up stock ROM, I pretty sure you will still have the HBOOT, Recovery, Root etc. Can't yet find a stock 2.2 RUU that will remove those (when flashed).

Maybe you'll find the answer in one of jkoljo threads.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Found the answer your looking for

Instructions on how to restore branded backup, and do s-on
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmh:
Just flash a stock 1.32 RUU, then run radio s-off tool to go back to s-on. Just as described in the thread linked to above :-)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maikel16:
Hi,

Thanks for the guide.

I used factory reset and it's back to standard now. It's unrooted etc, but clockworkmod is still on it.. And also s-off, but I'll do that with your tool. How do I get clockworkmod off ?

Thanks in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Factory reset will not remove root.

It's jkoljo's tool (didn't mean to mislead at all), I meant to show that I took the instructions from there and added some important / extra info.

Please read the link on my previous reply, has the info / steps you require. Plus related info in my 1st reply.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maikel16:
Thanks guys, it all worked out! I got S-ON now and fully factory state.

Cheers for the help!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
No problem, don't forget to also remove the 'evidence' from the sdcard (PD98IMG.zip) , but in theory, yours is a hardware fault and not void warranty.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maikel16:
I cleaned my sd card hehe, but they give me back my sd card anyways. And there's also a software problem. When I turn it on from standby, the screen stays black and the buttons light up.. Also had this on a normal desire and then I bought this. So I'm wondering what they'll say now..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roboMr.Burns:
I noticed that before. I just remove the battery and reboot my phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
If the above post, battery pull, doesn't work, it could be that the proximity sensor needs calibrating. Leppie has a tool / app in xda, not sure if require root though.

[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
so for me the biggest disappointment next to hearing short battery life on this phone is lack of the option for 1080 recording.

Is it possible for what we know are amazing rom dev's to add 1080 recording or is it a hardware limitation (couldn't possibly understand why it would be)
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
I originally was in your same boat.

It's possible to add it, but probation glitchy. That's probably why they removed it. The 720p should be true hd by now though.
[HTC EVO 3D] vinterchaos:
you win
[HTC EVO 3D] Cubfan99:
I actually PREFER 720p for file size and overall performance of the video. Most people can't tell the difference when viewing. This is a small gripe, IMO. But the fact that they lied about it being a typo is pretty large.

What these phone manufacturers NEED to focus on is 720p at 60fps, which should be an option for buttery smooth video.
[HTC EVO 3D] mmace:
the Desire launched with 800x480 video and they eventually upgraded it to 720p

they may do the same with the Evo 3D from 720p to 1080p
[HTC EVO 3D] Alanmw86:
I can see your POV and benefits, but having the options always nice

afterall if you can record in 1080 no one says you cant still record in 720 to keep things down in size if thats what you want.

but small gripe? I disagree, it was stated to supposed to have it, most if not all of the superphones coming can do it (TMK), and when you have a monitor with a resolution thats over 1080 you def CAN tell the difference between 720 and 1080

Hey guys, I just got my S2 yesterday and I upgraded from the Galaxy S.

My issue is Swype. I don't know if I'm the only one or if everyone has the same thing but on my Swype on the bottom row it has the following functions;

Tips, 123SYM, EN, -, , Space, full stop, record and enter.

The thing that is driving me nuts is the EN option because I have turned off all other languages but English and the button is still there which makes the whole bottom row more squashed. Does anyone else have this function there as well or is it just me?

He never updated the rom since he got the phone, last year.

Normally, I'd just backup everything and flash an official ROM via Odin, but that is not what my dad wants.
