Can't access it from the market.

My number is ported through google voice.

What give? Am I missing something?
[HTC EVO 3D] Buff McBigstuff:
IDK what to tell you, I have it. I used it to text before I even activated the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] kccasey:
I have a 3D now and I was able to download it just fine. Works good on EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] lopezpm:
working good here too, try rebooting your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
Yup, same here. Works great.
[HTC EVO 3D] minieod:
i noticed this today also

i got my phone yesterday and downloaded it fine

i got my moms today and its not there in the market :(
[HTC EVO 3D] xanadu1979:
Wait, what? Can anyone else confirm this? I know it's probably something that will get resolved pretty quickly, but I'm going to have a major problem if I can't have my google voice app for even a day. I guess I'll just not activate the phone until someone posts that it's definitely in the market.
[HTC EVO 3D] kingakuma:
google voice is in the market on the evo 3d i just downloaded it right now
[HTC EVO 3D] land2634:
When I searched for it, I couldn't find it either. I had to find another Google application and at the bottom of that app's page, click on "View other applications" to see other apps developed by Google.
[HTC EVO 3D] cholepuree1:
i just 'pushed' it from the android website from my desktop. it's there. it works.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Same for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] whatsleft4her:
It shows up in my market
[HTC EVO 3D] erikivy:
In general, when I can't find a known app on the market, I go to [u]www.appbrain.com[/u] , find the app and install it with the QR code. DON'T create an appbrain account and it will show you everything, not just the apps that it "thinks" are compatible with your phone. Here is a

direct link to GV

and here is the actual QR code if you don't want to bother with all that clicking. :)

Oh, and if you don't have a scanner installed yet,

this is the one

I use.
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
Why is all of my texts coming through Google voice? I hate that. Anyone know how to stop it?
[HTC EVO 3D] mahalocat:
BUMP -

I tried to uninstall then Reinstall Skipping Integration....still getting texts via Google voice in lieu of Handsent

HELP
[HTC EVO 3D] mahalocat:
HELP

Ok Now I deleted google voice and Im getting NO text messages
[HTC EVO 3D] SITH16:
Ok. From what I have read you have to log onto Google voice on a pc and on the upper right you click and disable text in that. That is how u disable this. I hadn't tried it yet since I'm not at my pc. Let me know if it works.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
Samsung... LG. They wanted to enter the superphone battle but really had no idea of what they were getting themselves into. The time is over where you can just release a phone and not update it expecting it to just continue to sell.

HTC has been dealing with Android for awhile and definitely understands this concept. Many of their phones are receiving Gingerbread while many others have had announcements about updates. HTC stated a phone wasn't going to be updated then a day later had a change of heart. Days later an announcement was made with details of the update.

Communication and promptness is what is going to make or break these companies. Samsung had a big success with the Galaxy S but no one can deny they failed with updating the device once issues arose.

LG definitely wasn't ready to have the "world's first dual-core" smartphone when they didn't even have a competent engineering team to put out good software. And now that same software team is taking forever to get it right.

Were we too naive trusting LG with a phone of this stature?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
samsung was ready. I mean look at the sgs2 now. Even with not updating like you said they had mad success. Even those who said never again still want the samsung. It also is the least buggiest device on paper out there looking at the forums.

LG yes. they came in like DEEERRRP, but Samsung knew what they were doing. ****, sgs 4g lmaoooo. They may not be cool how they do it, but they know what there doing and make a good product or people wouldnt be wanting a sgs2 so bad.

Only issue they had was gps, and yes poor updates but thats just them saving money and time and sending it out on a whole new device thats the same as the last with the update. lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
LG did it right with the hardware but screwed up the software. It happens. Google has yet to work with LG, which I think is next in line.

Samsung, HTC, Motorola have all had turns with google and learning the ins and outs.

I think the next Nexus phone will be LG... that will bring them up to speed like the rest.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I've never had a Samsung Android phone before so I can't speak to the past. But the SGS2 has already received three ROM updates and four camera firmware updates in six weeks. 2.3.4 is expected by the end of the month to address an issue with the Android suspend process chewing up battery. It's for non-branded phones though and once the U.S. carriers get involved all bets are off no matter who manufactured the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
G2x was rushed out, to get the "first" tag.... It should have went out with 2.3. Saying that LG can not support the phone is way way way too early. IMO they are trying to make 2.3 release be a complete package, as bug free as reasonably necesssary and possible. Tons of updates are equal to one really solid release, some may prefer lots of updates, while most want a solid release, without the need of tick tacking.

LG is essentially relying on pure Android.....if the G2x is not ready for primetime, then Android itself is not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
Incorrect. LG's abomination is not pure Android. It's been proven that they heavily modified the build and just made it LOOK like stock. So again, it falls on the shoulders of LG to get it right.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Who rushed them?

And how did that work out for them?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Please do not put Samsung in the same league as LG. One year ago I would have said, yea sure, go ahead but not now. They just made the worlds most powerful Android device ever made and there getting involved with the DEV community. They have already released 3 updates for the SGSII which is 3 more than LG issued for the G2X. The SGSII has the least amount of bugs out of the new dual core phones being released.

Samsung just joined HTC at the top. LG just replaced Samsung of the Behold II days.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kookoomang:
I might be wrong but why did they come out with naked 2.2 froyo?? im guessing cause they wanted to release the phone as soon as possible because if LG could come out with a dual core phone im sure LG knew that other competitors will be coming out with one soon. Also look at them right now they handed out couple of G2X w/ GB to tmobile employees for testing, why couldn't they do that earlier. I guess they figure "hey lets release the phone w/ 2.2 Froyo and figured it would be "safe"". But i guess that was a big mistake.

As far as im concern my phone works perfectly
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dorksturhh:
in my opinion, yeah LG brought out an unstable phone

but then with the developers roms and kernel, my g2x is the fastest and smoothest phone i've ever experienced with.

im not saying that LG was perfect, but its because of them & developers that i have a phone that rapes any other phone on the market :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
The Atrix is dual-core on Froyo with the same Tegra SoC and hasn't experienced the issues the G2X has so you can't blame Froyo. The Sensation and SGS2 are dual-core on Gingerbread and don't have similar issues either which would mean dual-core phones can work successfully with any newer Android version. So, anecdotally, all fingers point to LG's software and/or hardware decisions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrharvey:
The whole reason I bought this phone was because it was a very powerful, stock android phone. It had all the right hardware. I knew that because it was in the G series it woiuld recieve crazy dev support and I was sold when I heard cyannogen would be making a rom for it. Its unlocked and flash happy. Honestly I didnt care then and dont care now what the phone was like when it was released. I bought this to tinker and tinkering I am doing lots of. If I wanted a locked down phone with a laggy UI i would have gone with an HTC or motorola phone. At the time i had no clue HTC would unlock the bootloader but has that even happened yet?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cashyftw:
If htc was so prepared they would of unlocked the bootloader, which they didn't.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Huh? How does the reversal of a corporate policy have anything to do with the timing of the release of one of a dozen new phones they'll come out with this year?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
What did they do? If there's already a thread you can just point me to it, I'll read through it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] againareku:
If anything, it would make more sense to think that HTC is incapable of producing solid tech. And quite honestly, it shows. The G1 was a horrid pieces of hardware [note I said HARDWARE, not software] that only stood out because it was the first Android device. The MyTouch was and is slow and clunky even after official upgrades and custom ROMS , where as the Cliq XT [which at one point was WORST PHONE EVAR!~!! according to most android fanboys] is absolutely blazing on its CM7 port considering its a 600mhz processor. And don't get me started about all of HTC's subpar Winmo phones that plagued T-Mobile for a long time [probably why smartphones didn't take off for a while til the iPhone and Blackberry]

On the other hand, LG is more than capable of producing a high end piece of mobile electronic. Considering they have a long history of computer hardware, also applicances and commercial technology. If you think a SoC based Android phone is complicated, please take a look at service manuals for a modern washer or a 3D HDTV. LG has the assembly lines, the manpower, and the R/D to develop a top class mobile device. And the G2X is easily the best designed phone on the market. I'm sorry so many people have had so many issues, but a fully working G2X is miles ahead of anything offered by HTC or Samsung.

Some of you act as if LG has never made mobile phones, yet they've made some of the best and some of the most innovative devices before the smartphone craze took off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
The first statement kind of contradicts your claims in the second statement, don't you think?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
not sure where thread are

But i can tell you first hand.

this rom is the same rom pretty much as the overseas version which has the lg skin on it. they changed the png files to be stock android and removed the settings additions.

all the hooks and java are in the framework files at least the ones i looked at. have tons of stuff that is not froyo 2.2.2 source.

this explains why both phones have similair problems.

themes cause tons of bootlopps and freezes and reboots if not done correctly. and thats probably the cause of the reboots. since this is a themed rom.

with rommers they put out an update to fix a problem. the companies seem to always try to fix everything before releasing than on top of that they are bringing a whole new os and froyo and GB are quite a bit different. and with tmobile i imagine they told them to get a working gingerbread rom on it and they would buy the phones again.

Hope this helps some.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
i think your right

and i hope you are hardware wise. it appears its the software that they are having problems with. and although they all continue ot be quite i would bet a company like lg made some changes after this debacle.

lets hope.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Worked great, the got a lot of press for being the first dual core, which is why they rushed.

The sales have been so strong that they ran out of the phones. Negative press is pretty much on this site and similar, which probably reaches about 5% max of the buyers.

They released with 2.2 which gives most a strong belief that 2.3 will solve a ton of issues whether or not I have experienced them.

The G2x will always be part of the against other phones, as part of the benchmarks, where as the Sensation will drop off.

So did it work, I think so.

Looking forward to 2.3....if it introduces problems I will be very upset.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] againareku:
Not really, I have a fully working G2X. The only place I've heard of non working G2X phones is online and from customers at T-Mobile stores. From personal experience, and owning a fully working G2X, nothing else is on the same level.

My only gripes with the phone are simple: no notification light, the most vanilla call log app, and the fact that the phone is brown.

Part of me what to thinks it has to do with apps...honestly. I was messing with the different flash light apps. after installing tiny flash light, I started getting reboots. I uninstalled it and no reboots at all.

I'm using Droid Light because while it may only stay on 2 minutes, it has NO reboots and is super light as far as apps go. Made by Motorola, works flawless on G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
A lot of people make that same statement when responding to others that are having issues. I don't think anyone intends it to but it comes across as meaning one of two things:

1) You doubt that others reporting issues really have them or that it's just a small percentage of people trying to make a big deal out of a small problem.

2) As long as yours is working nothing else really matters.

Just looking at the commonality and number of different people with different levels of technical knowledge and different expectations posting you have to conclude the O2X/G2X problems are far more widespread than the handful of issues effecting other newly released phones. It's great that there's a bunch of people satisfied but judging by the number of former O2X people getting the SGS2 and G2X people getting the Sensation you can't just dismiss the phone's issues as minor.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] againareku:
There's people here who exchanged the phone 5x over screen bleed. Yes, there's problems, but I think as a whole, it's blown out of proportion. I've seen one bad G2X, but people insist it's widespread so I have to believe them. Take for example David from Tmonews, obsessed that there's a conspiracy and the phone was pulled..

yet I can still upgrade to it, I can still call in and add a line to get one, I can still go to my T-Mobile store, and I can still go to the third party dealers But according to him you can't find it ANYWHERE online on the phone or in a store.

Also, lots of the favorite apps end up killing the phone. The G2X/O2X notificatio app people love here drains my battery and gives me the reboots. Same goes for TinyFlashlight which causes reboots and battery overheats, yet DroidLight by Motorola works flawlessly. The original Backgrounds app FCs and stalls, yet Zedge works like a dream. Apps like "Better Keyboard" and "Adobe Reader" never mess up my phone. and surprise surprise those apps get updated almost every month and if a few dozen people complain about a bug it gets patched. If a small time dev like Better Labs can do it, and a goliath like Adobe can do it, why isn't EVERYONE doing it? People should lose their app market license over it but they don't. At this point, I'm only trusting Google, actual software firms like Adobe, and the high echelon of the ROM scene to put anything on my phone..even multimillion dollar companies like Gameloft can't get this stuff right and quite honestly it's embarassing.

The "perfect' G2X thread here makes sense. Maybe should take it a step further, a list of every single app installed, pinpoint the common apps among buggy phones, the ones on "perfect' phones, etc....it's Windows 95 with dll conflicts and driver crashes all over again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Black6spdZ:
Can we expect EVERY android app on the market to work on every android phone?! Hell no, the hardware between them is growing wider every day and not all coders have the same programming skills. This is especially true of the newer multi-core cpu's. This EXACT same transition took place on desktop PCs many many years ago.. just give it a little time. I think when optimized GB roms come around this phone will be very hard to beat.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Laggy UI...Your going to love my video I'm posting tomorrow. I'll give you a spoiler. Its of locked down laggy HTC in which I managed to get Sense not to boot up in the background while using ADW. The phone went from having 200mb of free memory to over 360mb of free memory and it shows within every aspect of the phone, including the UI. The UI is now instant just like it is on my G2X. You really can't get a UI any faster. The video definitely shows the potential of the device once the bootloader is unlocked which should be by the end of July.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
This phone has been distributed around the world and has been experiencing the same problems since its launch. Interesting you focused on the LCD bleed. From what I've read, and the reason I returned my G2X, is that the lack of reliability is the biggest problem.

There have been no production shortages anywhere in the world. The G2X just launched in Canada with Wind under a different name. Engadget and Tmonews are both questioning why T-Mobile's pulled a newly released phone for over a month. With no apparent supply shortage and no additional comment from T-Mobile it's a valid question and not a witch hunt.

Oddly, the same apps don't appear to have killed phones people used before or after the G2X. The Atrix doesn't seem to have issues using common apps either using the same SoC.

I only post this to bring this thread back around to the questioned posed by the OP asking whether LG ready to become a player in the high-end smartphone arena. Whether anyone wants to accept it, no other dual-core phone on the market be it on the same or different SoC, running 2.2 or 2.3, has anywhere near the issues of the G2X/O2X. And the fact that LG's had six months to figure out a solution and hasn't definitely makes the OP's original question about whether they were ready a good one. And why, with all the pressure from users and the online media, has LG just delayed 2.3 until Fall for the O2X? Nine months to develop a working build of Gingerbread? Sorry guys, something's not right in LG-land.

I am trying to unroot. I used the 2-step method guide but didn't know that using Unrevoked3 actually also used Unrevoked Forever so I skipped step 1 and just flashed the pc36img.zip in step 2. Everything ran perfect except I did more research and realized I should've ran the s-on tool because I am still s-on. :(

Is it still possible to apply the unrevoked_forever_son.zip using the stock recovery?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
No....you will need to root all over then flash the s-on tool again and then flash the pc36img.zip. shouldn't take much time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aagbulos:
Thanks for your reply!

Okay I know how to do that but I think I have another problem...because I panicked, I updated to the latest OTA thinking that would automatically unroot me but still says "s-on"

FYI - I did thus because I'm trading in my EVO for the 3D.

The guy at Target told me the phone just needs to be in excellent condition and working to be able to trade my phone in...

Should I even worry at this point?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Ouch. If you took the ota there's no going back. Check bootloader to see if its s-on, if its still s-off you might be in luck to flash another recovery and s-on again!!! Check!!

Id say yes give it to them with s-on at least you don't want something getting traced back to your account.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im0rtalz:
S-ON is unrooted / locked bootloader. I'm a bit confused here. Isn't that what you want it to be on.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aagbulos:
Oh oops...I meant to say it's still "s-off"

Darn keyboard autocorrect!

I'm trying to get it BACK to "s-on" because it's currently "s-off"

Sorry for the confusion.

Do I have any options at all? Thanks for helping out guys!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
If it's still s-off just flash amon RA in bootloader and then boot to recovery to flash s-on. You are lucky! Flash the pc36img.zip version.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
I hope it works dude! Enjoy your 3D if you get it!

If it doesn't work its because you have the ota gb radio and you will need to downgrade it to the 11.19 radio from froyo then s-on should flash.

Remember you need the 11.19 radio to flash s-on. Its also flashed from recovery.

Ok thanks for the tips!

One last thing before I give it a go...I'm only flashing the pc36img.zip file via bootloader. The other zip file is if I was pushing the file using adb, correct? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't want to mess up any further lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Yes that's the recovery. Just flash in bootloader no need for adb. Once you get recovery up delete that pc36img from your sdcard. You will need to grab that 11.19 radio and flash that in recovery then reboot. Once you're back to bootloader go back in recovery then flash the s-on (after the radio).

It should be very easy and wont take that much time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aagbulos:
Cool. I will do that. Glad you were so helpful! I sure hope the 3D phone lives up to its billing...I came from MikG 2.1 and that was a killer Rom. I do know that the developer aamikam is getting that phone too and is going to cook up a Rom once HTC release the unlocked bootloader update.
