[T-Mobile LG G2x] seamonkey420:
i'm still a fresh new owner of my G2x (got it yesterday). but i've already thrown on 3 custom roms and have decided to stick w/the mcr GB leak (2.3.3) since its more vanilla than CM7. CM7 is just WAY to much extras i don't care for; i wish they had a kitchen sink option like paul's MCR roms do. i love being able to pick and choose what items and tweaks.

anywho, i've been an android owner since the N1 dropped and must say that it almost seems like its more people tinkering with an OS and parts they shouldn't be or don't understand. permission changes on a system file can cause your phone to do some crazy things, i've done it a few times myself (get in a boot loop by renaming a system sound or font, etc)

the G2x's hardware specs made me drop the full off contract price on it. i'm just hoping we see the GB roms mature even more, hopefully once the official GB hits; we'll still have some devs w/one that will update their roms. :)

sure would love to see a Honeycomb port. this thing has the specs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
yea i cant say enough about my g2x, i really have no problems other then minimal screen bleed and it dont bother me cuz i cant see it in everyday use!....i have no random reboots or sod, i absolutely love the power of this phone, **** the other day i was playing with my wifes mytouch 4g and remember that thing was fast and held its own, i remember when i had one i thought damn this is fast....the other day when i was done playing with it i gave it back to her, and thought to myself damn hun your phone is a turd compared to mine lol....my point being the mytouch 4g was a very fast phone and this phone just digs in its ass! i love everything about it i will definitely say it is the best phone i ever had and i aint going nowhere.....

dark times for everyone :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Another satisfied G2X owner right here. Got mine off some guy on Craigslist before I'd read about all the issues people were having. I think I only kept it stock for maybe 1 day before rooting it and flashing roms on it. I've been using it for over a month now and I haven't once regretted buying it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Have you tried the Ultimate G2X rom?

It has been my daily driver for a couple of weeks now and I have had absolutely no issues with it. It's based on Froyo so all of the hardware works as it should (no wonky battery issues, HDMI works, GPS works, etc). It has a very nice dark theme to it (I never liked the light colored stock Froyo), and is very snappy and responsive.

It's a very nice rom indeed. Very fast. Very stable. And everything works.

FWIW
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
Very satisfied G2x owner here. All around the best cellphone i have ever owned.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bdkinney:
+1 for the Ultimate Rom. I've been using it since the day it was released with zero issues. But...Faux's Rom is starting to look VERY interesting...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
I've been a pretty vocal complainer about this phone. I've gotten four. But my complaints have mostly been about the lack of real support and communication. It sucks that LG and Tmo put us all in this position.

I'm getting the Sensation tomorrow. I got the upgrade price. But I'm only considering it a bridge phone until the bugs get worked out of the G2X. When I thought I only had the option of one phone, I HAD to leave for the Sensation. In my case I initially chose the G2X knowing about and comparing it to the Sensation. Sensy is indeed a great phone, but side by side, we all know the G2X is just.....well, better!

But my cell phone is my primary communication device, I don't have a wired home phone. I've had reception issues and it has been too buggy to use the basic features. Not having a choice I was forced to move to the Sensy.

But being in this position, with both phones, changes the equasion. I get the luxury of waiting for the update. I've now decided to request a fifth one after all.....just because the screen bleed IS definatively worse on this fourth one. But if they refuse, I still feel like the screen bleed is a non issue in everyday use. But it appsolutely screams at me when I turn the phone on....

I truly believe that all the other issues will be fixed with the updates(s).

I've spent the last two days putting the phone back where is was before my reset last weekend. I've had no reboots all week, but my data has been giving me fits. I've missed not playing with it this week, so couldn't resist putting it all back. Supposed to get Sensy tommorrow.....have such mixed feelings. This sucks....got two beautiful phones and so conflicted and angst-ridden. I guess I can think of worse positions to be in LOL.

Happy Fathers day to my fellow fathers. And all you mothers for putting up with us!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
There is no doubt in my mind that the G2X is snappier and more responsive than the Sensation within the UI but in my mind there is plenty of other things that go into making a phone better. Yes, I care about speed and power but when the ONLY difference in speed I see is in the UI, it's not a big deal in my opinion. The G2X's display does have better blacks but the Sensation has better colors, sharper text, bigger display and a brighter screen. When both phones are in direct sunlight, it's not even a close race. The Sensation wins hands down.

Applications run just as fast, if not faster on the Sensation. One of the only games I play religiously is HomeRun Battle 3D and it is in fact smoother plus looks a lot better on the Sensation.

When you finally get to use the Sensation you will realize that the only thing the G2X does better is a speedy UI. Everything from the camera to the contacts app is inferior.

In the end, I wish I liked the G2X better since I paid retail price for it and even though mine barely had any bugs, the Sensation is still the all around better phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I can't speak to the differences in the screen because I've only used the G2X in everyday situations. I do know that I have no trouble reading my screen in sunlight.

As for the different UI and different camera, etc that you mentioned, I think you're overlooking the fantastic hardware that makes up the G2X. I'm not knocking the Sensation because it may be a better solution for some. But I am very very satisfied with the G2X. Many of the roms that are out now have ironed most of the issues and made this phone extremely reliable. I don't have any issues with mine. And I can flash any camera, homescreen app, etc I want and customize to my hearts content.

My point is its a great piece of hardware that has some buggy software from the factory. Iron out the bugs and this thing flies.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daganb:
I have had my phone for about a month now, hated it at first but have slowly gotten it to the point of stable and fast.

Running CM7 builds for two weeks now (since the bugs have slowly gotten worked out). No reboots or issues, data is fast, battery life is good and everything is just "snappy".

I have given up on LG support for this phone, I won't be buying another LG phone again. Rushing this product to market and abandoning it shows that they hold the consumer in contempt. Hardware and build quality this phone is amazing, software support is terrible.

If LG was smart they would release their source for the phone and allow the true experts (rom cookers) to have their way with perfecting it, LG's software team isn't worth the paper their over sized paychecks are printed on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Flashing all the camera apps in the world won't change the actually camera. When I said camera, I meant it as in hardware, not software. If you want to talk software than I can tell you, I think the G2X camera app is better than the Sensations. By the way. My G2X really didn't have any bugs at all except for some minor screen bleed. I thought it was a pretty reliable phone if you ask me. I know I'm keeping mine for a little bit so I have something to hack until HTC unlocks the Sensations bootloader. Lastly, I didn't really have any problems reading my G2X in sunlight either but it doesn't mean something else can't look better.

[Thunderbolt General] mdunn1066:
Does anyone elses tbolt click a little when pushing on the sides of the phone, the edge around the screen? Mine clicks and creaks like its sticking to glue or something but not staying stuck... should i exchange it?
[Thunderbolt General] Pzyborg:
Do you have the extended battery?
[Thunderbolt General] mdunn1066:
no phones stock i just got it yesterday, hasnt been droped bumped anything, and it creaks if i press down on the screen when its laying flat on a desk.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
Mine does that right around the volume rocker. I'm not worrying about that or the slight light leak from the bottom. It's not rebooting itself, so I'll see how it goes.
[Thunderbolt General] sir2545:
Yes, exchange it!! I just went through that with one. Sometimes it wouldn't do it, like when it was hot and when I tried to replicate the issue in the store I couldn't so they wouldn't give me a new one. Finally I put it back in the box for a day and it started popping again. It was like the screen was loose or something.
[Thunderbolt General] scottthreet32:
My phone creaked with extended battery then i got the extended battery case and creaks went away might have to do with tighten fit
[Thunderbolt General] TangBaby:
Seems like the tbolt has major software and few hardware issues. I'm glad I got the Mytouch 4G instead.
[Thunderbolt General] Pzyborg:
How does that help the OP? Or did you just want to do a MyTouch 4G ad? Lol Before you go blowing MyTouch's horn, check this out...http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/05/t-mobile-mytouch-4g-review/.

My Thunderbolt only creaked when I bought the extended case. Exchanged it for another one and it stopped creaking. Three days later it was creaking again. If I put my regular case back on, no creaking! I've learned to put up with it.

Thanks for the input, im going to head into the verizon store when i have time on monday. I can easily replicate it because it does it i would say 90% of the time, and even if i cant replicate the screen part, the edges all around the screen do it constantly. I got a lemon :(
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
Wouldn't hurt to show it to them. My thing is just that there seem to be a lot of phones with rebooting issues that I don't think they are exchanging, asking customers to wait for the update that is supposed to fix it...

Just tried mine again and now it isn't clicking...

Maybe make sure your battery cover is properly on all the way around. HTC really could make better battery covers.

Yes, you are sponged. As suggested try a different cable. You can also try pulling the battery out, plugging the phone into the comnputer andtry to get into download mode, then try to Odin it. Some people have had success this way.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bubbashrimp:
Yes, this is another one of those annoying "reboot" threads. My HD2 has had lots of problems trying to run WP7. I've had multiple reboots during multiple tasks. It made the phone unusable for a bit.

I finally have a stable ROM that at least allows me to make calls and use the phone - as long as I don't try to access the Internet more than a minute or so. If I access the Internet for more than that minute or so I end up stuck in a reboot loop.

Removing the battery, waiting for a few minutes, and replacing the battery and rebooting the phone solves the reboot loop issue.

I don't know if it's the radio itself, or the particular radio version I am using, that is causing the problem. Calls are not a problem, as I mentioned. I really enjoy WP7, and would like to be able to fully enjoy it without experiencing this dodgy Internet access experience.

FWIW, I have tried several different sd cards, which I know have been identified as being the culprit in a massive number of cases, but nonetheless experience this same problem.

Cheers,

Bubba

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdoctor:
I am buying a New SGS 2, the seller has told me that its factory Unlocked, but I have my doubts that he has De-branded the phone and selling with the name of Factory Unlocked.

Can someone tell me, how would I know if the Seller has Sold me a Debranded phone or a factory Unlocked one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Debrand means no branding on the phone splash scrre apps etc .

Factory unlocked presume its not sim locked to a network will work with any sim card .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty warrior:
correct me if im wrong

branded phone = sim locked and apps+ splash screen etc

factory unlocked =phone as is
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
I think the OP means that he suspects that the seller has bought a branded phone, eg from o2 then used a guide to unlock and debrand.

If this is so, I dont personally know how to check this myself, but I presume you can tell by the imei or by how many stickers are on the box (how many imei stickers, o2 normally have 2)

Also ask for proof of purchase?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdoctor:
lol.. you are the only one who got my question right.. He cant provide me proof of purchase since he is a Re-Seller himself and would consider that as his market secret.

There must be some way De-branded can be differentiated from Factory unlocked ones..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
AFAIK, only by IMEI, and then only if you actually have a valid IMEI database, which is about as likely as this guy selling you an actual unbranded phone (by the sound of it).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
How much is it mate?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamanote:
If I understand it correctly debranding requires the use of Odin to flash an unbranded ROM, so all you'd have to do is check the number of flashes in download mode... I think?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] em0hawk:
I have experienced some weird behaviour when connecting my TF to my PC.

I deleted some files in File Manager HD but when I plugged it into my PC the files were still showing in windows.

Also I have a folder called downloads on my TF, Plugged into my PC it showed 2 folders called download. One was empty so I deleted it through my PC, then when I unplugged my TF both download folders were gone including what was in them.

All this is with the TF internal storage. Anyone else seen this sort of thing?

TF is all stock, no root.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bithir:
The file systems on linux are case sensitive - so what you saw on your PC was probably two different folders, but with different case used in creating them.

I.e. under android/linux the following are different folders:

Download/

download/

Under windows share, those might both look like 'Download' in windows, hence the confusion.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] em0hawk:
I don't believe that was the case, plus that doesn't explain why I deleted files on the TF then plugged it into the PC and they were still there.

Killer mobile have just updated their Total Recall app for android and cleared out a couple bugs, this now seems to work just fine for me. It also has the option to record in 3gp, wav, mp3, amr, plus you can auto upload to evernote or e-mail out through gmail.

Call quality is pretty good, only downside is it will not work with blue tooth head sets, correction it does work and record but you cant hear the person your talking to but the recording comes out fine lol.

Ill try the other one recommended here and see if its any better on the quality side but best thing for me with TR is you can set it to prompt at the end of the call to save or not so routine calls or family ones can be deleted without taking up space, you can also use as a dictaphone with a instant record button widget and remote sms into it to record when you have left it in a room and want to know what's been said if your feeling a little paranoid lol.

Maybe I need kernel supporting it (I use Speedmod)?

alternatively you can try MIUI rom which comes with build in call recording. =)
