[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
Thanks to the CM team for a great rom and faux for a nice kernel.

It's my first official day with this device and so far i'm impressed. I haven't notice too many of the bugs yet because well.... I just haven't had it long enough, lol.

I'm going to tinker with GPS today and some other things and will report back if anything crazy happens!

Thanks again to everyone involved in the rom(s)/Kernel(s) on XDA!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Soldi3rxx:
Is anyone having a problem with the ffc? I was using Fring video chat and ooVoo (btw theres a update that allows video chat now) and on both apps my ffc is sideways (90 degree angle). I flash trinity15 kernel so IDK if it could be the kernel or the rom? Any help would be nice. Thanks in advance. :confused:

1) You installed it.

2) It's hidden in system/app : to find you must reboot 8 times then look in the system/app directory. IF you cant find it still, install via market.

3) If you do a full wipe on your phone, then log in and change your XDA username to myheadisinmyass, you can use GO launcher.

I attempted a thread search with no results. I flashed this 7.1 build today and absolutely love it. One question: Google Maps...I installed the google addons and it appears, by version number, that I have the latest Maps, but I do not have the option for navigation. How do I get navigation back?

In past releases (G1) we were always able to update the apps through the Market. That didn't seem to work this time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sauromir:
Anyone having any weird signal issues? I've notices that my bars keep disappearing, even when I'm in an area that I should have full signal in. Sometimes putting the phone in airplane mode, and the turning airplane mode off fixes it. But, sometimes I have to do a full reboot to get my bars back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] the00guy:
Yes, I was, and as such resorted to flashing my stock rom back. Too many glitches like that sill.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CapMor:
My mistake on the navigation issue. Just a few more clicks on this version to get to it. Rom is awesome. No issues yet

Guys, this is really driving me insane and make me just crush this phone :mad:

The stock email client on CM7 just stops syncing all my 5 pop/imap accounts. I notice that email client just has the top icon showing a sync, but it never completes. All the accounts have the top icon showing sync but just won't complete. Its stuck in an infinite loop.

I Turn Airplane Mode

I Stop the email client on running services

I even deleted everything from both internal/external SD memory. I didn't wipe the phone. I'm ready to just give that a try, but that means losing and migrating all my stuff into the new ROM.

The ****ing mail client just acts like it syncs but never completes. I have to reboot the phone and on bootup, the email notification just flood. Its driving me insane and pisses me off. I have the same ROM CM 7.1 RC1 on myTouch 4g and that phone is solid. Email just works.

Is there any way to force close the email client or restart the email service without rebooting? Please this is the only thing that I just can't take anymore. Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks again
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jroyalty7:
All I can offer is that my email accounts... yahoo and gmail... as well as Facebook all sync with no issues. No idea what's up with urs but try wiping cache and dalvik, reflash rom.. maybe newer nightly then rc1, flash g apps, fix permissions and reboot. Hopefully your good to go then.

In theory, shouldn't the android 2.3 that comes with the nvidia developer toolkit be able to be decompiled for the BT goods needed to make a2dp work?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] snwboardn:
I am going to try and flash something else, I lost my APN and I cannot get it back... Removing the battery, doing a permission fix, in both Rom manager and in Advanced Recovery... I can't get data or incoming phone calls.

All of my APN settings appear to be correct so not sure what happened.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wewoapsiak:
No. It's closed source proprietary stuff. Arcee posted a while ago that Nvidia gave him some pretty expensive stuff to work on this stuff for us, but the a2dp issue still lives on. If it is out there, they know about it. They bug Nvidia every so often asking them to give them the goods, nothing yet.

Battery overheats when using GPS/Google Nav

Is anyone using GPS on Google Nav on their 7.1-RC1 phone successfully?

For me, after about 15-30 minutes, the phone gets really hot and a Tasker alarm tells me that my battery is overheating.

Today I was able to get the alarm to go off just by running GPS Status for 45 minutes straight.

Our friends at T-Mobile support say:

But they also say:

So my question to you is:

Is anyone else having this problem?

Can it really be fixed by a software fix?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
If TMO or LG are confirming it as a software issue, it's probably a good bet that it can be fixed by fixing the software. While it is *possible* they'll discover it to be unfixable, I doubt that will be the case.

I am not having this issue, but I don't often use the GPS functionality, and when I do it's only for a few minutes at a time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] servion:
I've been having this problem on mine since I got the phone, however mine will even heat up and shut off without the gps being on, it seems to be only when its really hot out so I assumed it was a heat issue (i.e. in the glove box, I'll pull out the phone and it will be off). I am planing on flashing this RC1 tonight in hopes that it would have fixed this issue..

Can anyone recommend an app to monitor battery/cpu/etc temps to see if it is indeed overheating, or perhaps a log file somewhere that would tell me why it shut down?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jroyalty7:
You leave your phone in your glovebox while its blazing hot out!!!??? That's your answer right there your phones over heating and shutting down.... bad idea to leave your phone in a glovebox at all yet alone summertime
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
I have to say, I find it difficult to imagine anyone intentionally leaving their phone out of arm's reach.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] servion:
Indeed that is an extreme case, however it does it when its in my pocket and I'm out and about, as well as when I'm in the car with the a/c on full and its out of the sun... seems to happen more often when its warm out in general.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Colombia81er:
Well im here having the same issue with GPS it will never lock to a signal. Then other issue that i been having and its driving me nuts is that i cant have a consistent data network. Calls work fine all the time but my data will drop so i would need to reboot phone almost 4-5 times a day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] InsightGoalie:
I was having my Nexus One reboot due to heat from this exact thing. I work in a secure building and can't bring in my phone. Well, I can drop it off in a cubby in the foyer, which is what I'm going to start doing. Now my Nexus is totally wonky and I'm researching which phone to replace it with. I was hoping to hold off for the SGS2 or even the next Nexus.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
Phone finally works as I want.

The email hangs/stock email finally syncs and doesn't hang any more. I just went ahead and WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE WIPE

I wiped everything

SD External/Internal

Cache

Personal Data/Personal Wipe

I wiped all data as much as possible. And looks like the constant updates on nightly updates were possible cause. Or just didn't wipe correctly when I started using CM7.

Officially my phone is stable. Only issue is GPS lock. Takes 5 mins to lock on my phone. But I hardly use it. Other than that will stick with Stable/RC. Email syncs are too important for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iinokturnolii:
when will this will be getting an update? hopefully soon?!?!?! BEST BATT. LIFE!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
RC1 will never get an update. When another RC is released, it will be RC2.

Also, single punctuation marks usually suffice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
Is Faux's kernel work with this?

Sorry I answered my own question and had a noob moment.

No. the opposite is, in fact, the situation.

Do I need an external SD card to flash this rom? Everytime I try the cwm screen keeps saying waiting to mount SD.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
If you have an Android smartphone, spring for an SD card...you can get an 8GB for as little as $10!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] milkoo:
I just bought the phone yesterday. So I need a SD card to flash the rom? I thought there is an internal SD card.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
That has nothing to do with the rom. You will want to NVflash with INTERNAL support.

2.) My GPS isn't working at all now. Any ideas

3.) Anyone know who to change the ME contact info that seems to show up under text messaging?

Does stereo Bluetooth work on this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Gr33nbl00d:
Please correct me if im wrong:

1) The libaudio.so is proprietary code this means Nvidia or Broadcom owns the sourcecode.

2) We can not use the libaudio.so which was supplied in the original G2x or P990 system because of the new Kernel and its maybe also a copyright problem?

3) Only solution is to get the sources or to get an updated libaudio.so for the new kernel. (Which may be available if LG releases the 2.3 update??)

4) Other solution we could reverse engineer but i saw Austen (cvps dot org) tried it already for the droid and i think he found out it is nearly impossible. No matter i think i try for myself... ;-)

5) Third solution totaly crazy could never work... We could code an adapter for the current kernel but this is crazy maybe we have to use virtualization to emulate the old kernel ....ahhh forget about it...

We need to bring in the dev's that contributed to reverse engineering the broadcom chips for Linux.

AWOL APN and Twilight (Time) Zone

Got the same issue, plus one.

I think the time zones are messed up in RC1. For instance, the options are GMT-06:00 Central America and GMT-05:00 Central Time. Now, I don't live in Central America, but I do live in Central

America

, get me? I live in CST. That's GMT-06:00 CST. "Central America" gives me the right time difference (i.e. -06:00), but it messes up my calender by setting everything an hour earlier (which was just awesome this morning for my alarm when I was just shy of being late for work). If I choose "Central Time", which I am in, but CM7 says is -05:00 (which is actually EST, rather than -06:00 like it should be), it has the correct time and my calender is fine (for the moment; I've only been testing this theory for a few hours). I'm an idiot. :rolleyes:

On a similar note, if I attempt to manually set the time (not the time zone), it hangs and I get "FC (or) Wait" option prompt over and over until I press FC. But when I return to the menu again, whatever I was attempting to set the time at is what it is, luckily. Then, I've just set it to automatically detect after that. Just thought that was strange as it happens every time.

Problemo numero 2 is that I, too, keep losing my APN settings (and thus my data connection). I've used every APN backup app on the market anyone is going to suggest and it restores it beautifully, but after a reboot...gone baby gone. I've tried to manually add it, but it won't stick. Tried fix_permissions and all.

I'm really at a loss here because that's a deal breaker for me (obviously, being that a smart phone is built for data). Any suggestions would be appreciated.

For now, I'm probably going to just continue to run my rooted stock Froyo until I get these couple problems fixed. Don't get me wrong, it's still an RC and I get that. I mean, other than those two things, CM7 is looking to be absolutely awesome. I think it's the best yet, IMO. Just hoping to get a fix for the APN problem definitely and perhaps a fix and/or explanation for the time zone thing. Thanks again to anyone who's got some ideas.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
my_former_self, CST is -6 GMT, however we are currently in CDT, which is only -5 GMT, GMT does not change with daylight savings time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] my_former_self:
Aha! I knew there had to be a reasonably explanation for that. Sweet, thanks. I mean, I got it to work and all, but knowing the "why" is always better ;)

Any advice on the APN problems? Like I said, I tried various APN tools from the Market and even pushed via ADB other ROMs apns-conf.xml files with no luck. Even when I get a connection, it won't stick. One reboot and gone baby gone. Just perplexing that it is so hit or miss on the APN issues. I mean, it's not a personal configuration problem; it does this straight off a fresh wipe and flash. As opposed to wipe and flush which sometimes can stick :D Heh heh...too far?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] the00guy:
I really can't wait for this rom to be finalized. I can't stand this stock GB anymore.

G2X Stuck in Boot Loop

So, I'll go ahead and post the first problem on the thread. Just flashed RC1 from Stock ROM on the G2X. I've had the device rooted from the first day via 1-click. Installed CM via RM ver 4, and had previously flashed CWM through RM. Ran a back-up, wiped/factory reset, wiped cache, flashed CM 7.1, but now i'm stuck in a boot loop on the CM splash screen. I'm also unable to enter recovery by holding Vol Dwn+Pwr. Suggestions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McFroger3:
Since there is a lot of CWM questions being asked, I will ask one of my own. If you flash CWM with RM, does that updated version support EXT4?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
I flashed over nightly 61 via rom manager and no issues. I had a lot of questions answered about rom manager, CWM, and NVflash reading this thread. Its cool how you can use rom manager to access CWM (orange letters) and when you manually boot into recovery using volume down, you get the modded recovery with EXT-4 support (red letters).

Just to clarify, i think the only thing you cant do via rom manager is create a nandroid copy of a rom that has been partitioned as ext4 You should be able to restore an ext4 nandroid though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McFroger3:
Did you flash CWM the first time by using NVFlash? Also, I always do a wipe of /system too when changing roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sunzoje:
having problem with missing apn list and time not displaying to network provided value even it is checked.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McFroger3:
Did you manually set your time zone? That has been an issue with the G2x gingerbread ROM's since the start. Also, for the APN issues, just give it some time to connect, I find that sometimes after first boot it takes a bit to get the APN's.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
Just use rom manager. When your rom of choice finishes downloading you will get a prompt box before it flashes to do a full data/cache wipe, check it and click ok and your all set.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] McFroger3:
This is what I do, its a pain in the butt and may be unneeded, but has worked for me.

I do this 3 times.

Wipe data/factory
Wipe cache
Wipe Dalvik cache
Format /system

Also, to find the Format /system, go to Mounts and Storage in CWM. Careful tho, Format /sdcard is right above it so pay attention.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sunzoje:
yeap...manual time zone setup solved the problem, thnx. still having missing apn list problem; even after reboots and waits, not able to get lists back.
