I ended up voting with my wallet.

I just signed with Verizon and picked up a thunderbolt. Got LTE here in Milwaukee and pulling 20 mbs. Even in non-lte areas I expect I will be pulling at least 10x what I had one sprint. Never thought I would be happy with 400 kbps.

Back when I had the diamond and the tp on sprint, I used to burst 2 mbps. Then it dropped to 1500, then 1k, until finally 400kbps with the launch of the evo. I left when it hit a low of 150 kbps, 5 months later I try it again and it has a whooping 47 kbps...

For once, the slowest thing about downloading all the apps I use from the market was NOT the speed, but was the phone. I had like 6 downloads going at once (big downloads - Angry birds x3, tank hero, robo defense, hex defense) which lasted all of 2 minutes... I was like... dang... time to cancel home internet...
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Well no 4g in eau claire,WI so no matter who I end up with ill never see anything.over 2mbps... Unless I drive a hour away to the twin cities

[T-Mobile LG G2x] techboydino:
After only a single attempt at a warranty replacement I finally got word from TMO today that they will no longer swap handset's for screen bleeding issues. The rep told me that it is now considered a known issue and will not swap anymore phones because they know that the new one will have the same issues as well. I asked if she knew anymore information about it and she said the only thing that they know is that LG is working on a permanent fix.

I asked if that meant a new handset for those with the screen issue and of course she did not know but also stated that the fix/replace/repair is definitely a hardware problem and LG is expected to make right on it. So for now Ill deal with random reboots, shutdowns, and crappy battery until the update. I'm just curious on how they are going to remedy the situation. Hopefully a release comes out soon at least identifying the issue.

So if you can still trade in then by all means go for it. I have had two reps tell me now that as of the 24th, they no longer exchange due to screen bleed. I didnt push the issue on a new phone cause I like this phone and want to see how it all turns out now that LG has the ball.

I originally posted an article on the issue here at Gear Diary

Here is the new post that went live today. Bleed Article Pt 2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I'd be willing to bet T-Mobile and LG lost money on this phone...I know they lost money by letting me keep mine...HAHA
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brett_day:
I bet, this has been a huge farce for both companies, maybe both will come out of this having learnt something though..............yeah right!!!! lol

On another note I did speak with a CSR today her name was Nicole. She told me she could exchange for another if I wanted or she could offer me a nice discount on another phone. I rejected both, I was just trying to fish for information. So maybe the whole we are not replacing news hasn't filtered down to everyone yet, or you just got a rep that is tired of exchanging out G2X's
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 2Noob4U:
Ha... I've swapped out over 5 Mytouch 4Gs and the best way to go about it is through the chat on their website.

It all depends on the Rep. I read on the MT4G forum they quit swapping out phones for the screen issue with that phone... It's a wash. Depends on who you talk to and how their day is going apparently.

If at first you don't succeed... Call another rep... LOL
[T-Mobile LG G2x] N31N:
unless they notate the account and we get a sweet big red pop up saying DONT DO IT when you walk into a brick and mortar.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
It's really an easy fix.....they just need to limit the backlight output to about 45% of the current max.

The screen bleed will almost never be visible, at that new max brightness. Of course when outside, and you want to kick up the brightness to max....it just won't perform the same.

The Optimus Black is supposed to be the new NOVA screens....I have not bothered to check to see what the bleed complaints are over there. Switching out the G2x to the NOVA screen as an undocumented upgrade would not be out of the question.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I've heard the Nova displays are supposed to perform good in direct sunlight but Vlad from Engadget said it falls well short of performing well in direct sunlight.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] techboydino:
This is totally YMMV with the reps. She had to take some time and look it up in the "knowledge base" and said that she learned something new. It may have just been me but the rude chat representative and now the rep from the phonecall said the same thing. I guess it all depends on how much you push. I was most happy just to know that now it is seen as a legitimate issue by both TMO and LG and am waiting for the resolve.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yglup:
I just got one swapped out yesterday. They gave me free overnight shipping too. This is like the 5th time, if its not free I guess I'm confident ill get to keep it. You see I learned during my call yesterday that they now charge five bucks for using warranty, that's a change in contract, 30 days to reject the new changes. Even still, I'm on my 5th G2X, completelly unacceptable!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechnoHippie:
See this is an example of why t-mobile sucks. They've sold phones that THEY KNOW ARE DEFECTIVE...and won't replace them. I understand it'd be stupid to replace them with another G2X - but they should a) give us our money back or b) exchange it for another phone like the sensation or mytouch4G. The fact that they don't is probably grounds for a lawsuit. If anyone is interested I'm thinking of filing one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
Luckily for me, I only had to swap mine once to get a phone without backlight bleed. Even on max, it's hardly noticeable. My first one was horrible, even below 50%. Now, the wait for an update begins.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DEFNUB:
im getting a replacement but there charging me 20 bucks to do so! i got the shiz end of the deal
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
Or they could directly seal the screen to the glass like. In the iphone and galaxy s lineup
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
They are offering the mytouch 4g for exchange. They hard one to get them to do is the exchange to the sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PrettyPistol555:
Offered a g2x or sidekick. Guess I'm getting another g2x...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Please look at the date of the last post before reviving dead threads.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PrettyPistol555:
People r still having to swap out the phones, so it is still relevant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
no... nobody cares... its one thing to revive on that is weeks old its another to revive one that is 6 months old...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
Agreed.

You're rude all over the G2x section. Why so angry? :p

Not necessarily. If you bring up prices in asking for a replacement (i.e. I paid $180 for my G2x and Sensation is now cheaper) they'll frequently feel pressured into sending you one. My brother swapped his out for a Sensation, claimed the Sensy had overheating problems, and got a replacement MT4G Slide. :p

When I popped that response into the google narcissism translator, this is what it spit out: i wanted to post something that offers zero value to this thread, xda, or anyone else in this world. As a matter of fact, I wanted to post something that has zero value for a single thing on this entire earth, outside of puffing up my ego. I'm so thankful I have avenues such as the internet to sharpen and feed my narcissism. I'm so full now.. I'm so happy. I feel great. Wow, it's like a drug. I hope someone argues with my stance so I can keep getting fed....

[HTC Inspire 4G] KingVaroon:
This morning while trying to install calleridfaker.apk onto my phone i accidentally was able to unhide the "unknown sources" option on my HTC Inspire 4G.

Here is exactly what happened:

1.> I downloaded the .apk from 4shared.com and put it onto my sdcard using a USB connection.

2.> Then I opened astro file manager (you can download this from the market for free), went into the "sdcard" folder, found the .apk file and hit install. A message popped up saying installation of 3rd party apps has been disabled for security reasons, please go to settings to change this.

3.> I hit the settings button on the pop up and it took me to 'settings->applications', and there it was right on top, "Unkown sources: Allow installation of non-Market applications". I hit the check mark and everything was good to go :). I have rebooted my phone twice since then and the Unknown Sources option is still there.

P.S. This is my first post on xda-developers. Sorry if this was already known but I felt like I needed to share this with the world. Just trying to help :).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
First, welcome to XDA. :)

What probably happened is your unrooted phone got the "silent" update from ATT that enables sideloading.

In any case, go root your phone anyway... :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] swatcop1:
Yep, ATT has allowed/opened this option and has pushed this update to the inspire approx a month or so ago. So enjoy the new feature and welcome to xda.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DPLOY:
I still do not have it (North Florida) - so annoyed as I install from Dropbox...
[HTC Inspire 4G] zuriken:
I didn't get it until last night. Better late than never. :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
You're going to have to take matters into your own hands, probably, if you're tired of waiting... Call up ATT and have them push it on the spot to your phone.

...or root.
[HTC Inspire 4G] devind4207:
Good luck! I have been trying to get this pushed to my phone for a week, Att tech support has been completely useless. Will be rooting phone this weekend.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Hmmm. That's interesting. Others have reported it as being no longer than a 10 minute process. I guess it just depends on who you get on the phone or something.
[HTC Inspire 4G] KingVaroon:
Damn, I thought I had discovered something cool :(. Thanks guys for telling me before I went around making a fool out of myself, telling everybody I had "discovered" something. Lol :).

Also, to everyone who hasn't gotten the 'silent update' yet, I usually tend to get updates whenever I hook up my phone to my PC as a 'Disk drive'. Would explain how I got it trying to sideload. Might wanna try that out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well, I don't think hooking it up to your pc was anything more than a coincidence, as that silent update was OTA. There's nothing that physically connecting the phone to a pc would do to initiate an OTA update via ATT.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lyphi:
yeah , i haven't gotten he update either...i'll be rooting this weekend
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
I know ATT used to push the updates out for all phones when you rebooted your phone. So if you never turn your phone off and on, that might be the reason for not getting the update yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nismax:
Thanks i was looking for calleridfaker for long time couldnt remrmber name of it. Thanks

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
Anyone run into this? My wife has had her TB replaced once already. Today it went to puk lock without her doing anything. She went to make a call and it was puk locked. Had her pull the battery and it's fine for the moment. Seems like the TB has a mind of its own.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
I take it no one has had this happen.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] what25:
I think you may need to call VZ to get a puk unlock code. This can happen on GSM devices (had it happen to me on my Nexus One), and I had to call T-Mobile (my provider then) to get a puk unlock code.

I think its a characteristic of the SIM card, since the T-Bolt uses one.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
The device puk locked, but did battery pull and it's fine now. That's what is wierd about it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hksg:
It does not really matter anymore, as the PUK code can be found in the My Verizon page. It happened to me, I unlocked, and was good to go.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikec86:
You can log onto my Verizon and get your puk code also....
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hammer4203:
I know. She never did anything to make puk lock though. Pulled the battery and it didn't ask again for the puk. That is what bothers me about it. Is it possible the sim card is bad or is it just one of the many anomalies of the tb?

[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
Anyone know if the 3D has different LCD manufactures, like the EVO 4G (EPSON/NOVATEC) ?

I ask b/c i just replaced my phone due to it randomly freezing and the new one seems different. Maybe its just me, but the first one i had seemed like it had brighter whites.

both phones are HW002.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
I'll check my dads and my girls E3D's to see if I notice any difference. I'll post back soon.
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
cool, thanks,, im very curious.. i hate it when i start doubting my own eyes lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] DZLRULZ:
My 3vo has a noticeably purer white display than my wife's. They are both from the sprint pre sale. Hers looks like a warmer color temp than mine.
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
I effen knew it.. darn it LOL.. i knew something was up.. i prefer the brighter white!
[HTC EVO 3D] DZLRULZ:
I picked the brighter white before I activated them. Interestingly when I compared to my Evo 4G the 4G looks red! Flipz, of Fresh Rom fame mentioned that the color temp was warmer on his 3vo in his review compared to his 4G. Pretty strange.
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
well, looks like im going back for another return.. i cant be happy knowing this now lol
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
can you post up a picture with auto brightness vs max brightness with both phones side by side for me?

really appreciate it.

Thank you,.
[HTC EVO 3D] masbirdies:
Big difference on my phone between 50% and max brightness. The whites are dingy at 50% and brilliant at 100%.
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
I did notice the same thing.. what bothers me is that at auto or anything less than 100%, my previous evo3d looked as white as my current evo prob @ 80%.

this to me literally will equate to battery life.
[HTC EVO 3D] DataDork:
bump... if someone who has multiple EVO3d's can post up the screen differences, i would greatly appreciate it.
[HTC EVO 3D] DZLRULZ:
I assume you mean both 3vo's side by side. Unfortunately my wife works the opposite shift so hers isn't here.
[HTC EVO 3D] aalopez10:
Ok so i have search mostly every where online for a very slim cover.

Search eBay , amazon n most of the covers are all bulky n huge n makes the phone very heavy or look double its size.

Love the weight n how small the phone it feels on the hand without a cover , evry place like best buy n Sprint got ugly colors n very heavy covers that makes the phone super heavy also.

Anyone can direct me when online or anywhere I can find a very slim cover???

I just need something to cover the phone from scrathes etc but feels super slim on the hand...
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
If you just want something to protect it from scratches, why not put an invisible shield type skin on it? It'll keep it the same size and protect it from scratches. TPU cases do not add too much to the size, but certainly more than a thin piece of plastic.
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuck_IV:
Either a TPU case or take a look at the Case Mate Barely There case. That may suit you.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 88ls1blazer:
ok guys, watched the n00b disclaimer video, and of course I searched high and low, but cannot seem to find a thread on this. Both my wife and I have VZW droid 1's. I take very good car of mine so it has been flawless, unfortunately, her screen appears to be dead (only lights up, no response to touch screen, will not display images) She has USB debugging turned off so I cant access the phone from what I can tell. My question here is can I simply put her motherboard in my phone and get her information off of it? maybe turn on usb debugging while its in my case?

I know it's alot of work, but she has a lot of information stored on the phone and needs it out of it.

Any help would be appreciated. Also, if anyone has any idea what is wrong with the screen let me know, i looked at all the cables and they seem perfect. it seems like most people that have dead displays still have touch, but this has nothing, could it be simply a software issue and have nothing wrong with the hardware?

Thanks in advance guys!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] mystichobo:
Your motherboard swap should be fine.

I bought a broken droid off ebay exhibiting your issues, all it took to fix it was unplugging and replugging in the display cable. I then switched the motherboard with the one from my milestone and it worked fine, and without issue :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alhart345:
I have been trying to figure out email as it runs on Honeycomb (prior to purchase, but this is an interesting question I hope). What I want to do is ditch my computer running windows Live Mail, where all the emails are saved to my computer, and replace with a slinky new tranformer. I realise that a tablet is mostly an online tool, but it has heaps of memory, and I travel too much and still need to access old emails.

But, I cant seem to locate good information regards how the email app operates. Or how others such as K-9 work. So the question is; Do the emails reside on the tablet, can I place into folders, backup locally etc more or less as I do on my PC?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sassafras_:
To my knowledge the stock app stores them as entries in an SQL database. You can backup the whole lot, but probably not individually.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jonitfcfan:
Having set up my personal e-mail on my TF I've not been able to setup new folders with the default client, I can't find any option to do this. Also it appears as though a copy of your e-mails is downloaded onto the TF and stays on the server unless you enable the option to delete a message only when you delete it from the Inbox. It'll also only download the first 25 messages the first time round, you'll need to hit the 'load more conversations' button if you want to get more to display.

As for your existing e-mails I'm guessing that they are stored locally on your computer and are no longer available 'in the cloud', is that right? If so that will be a bit tricky to get them transferred over to your TF. If those messages are still in the cloud however you shouldn't run into any problems setting up your account on your TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
By default POP3 email servers should keep the emails on the server (until it is too old by server's auto-delete definition) and you should be able to download your old emails on your transformer (unless you deleted them from your email app on PC, which will cause it to tell the server to delete it too). There's a reason why I started using Exchange instead of POP3.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alhart345:
So am I alone in wanting offline email, archiving etc? Really the only person desperate to replace notebook with tablet, but needing solid productivity from email?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sassafras_:
Why do you need to archive your emails? If you need to back the lot of them up, you can. Using a root explorer, you can browse to the /data/data folder on the device and copy the email client folders located within (I believe com.android.email and com.google.android.gmail) to whichever storage medium you like.

Unfortunately you cannot back up or copy individual emails.

sassafras
[Eee Pad Transformer General] alhart345:
I run a business, when visiting customers, vendors or travelling I am often without internet access or it is too slow to be good for much. But I need to access old emails regularly, and email is the central tool for managing my workload. So I sort my old emails by activity in folders locally on my notebook and often refer in meetings to past actions, prices etc. Pretty typical business/corporate action. I may be asking too much of a tablet at this stage, seems most people use it to augment their PC, not replace.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
I think storing much locally goes against how Google and Apple view tablet devices. They view storage as a cloud based resource. So emails and documents are stored on their (or your ISPs) servers and accessed from the mobile device. This ensures that your data is constantly backed up and accessible from any device you have, phone, tablet, netbook, etc.

The downside is that this data is in the cloud so access assumes that you have a connection.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
I suspect that part of your problem is that you are using your email folders as a "CRM" database, whereas you'd probably be better off if you could actually move to a true CRM solution. This may be easier said than done if the data volumes (i.e. your email "database" is large) but will probably provide a much better solution in the long run.

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lexxon87:
I haven't used the stock Android email app since Android 2.0 and my OG Droid, but I'm rather sure that the GMail app will only locally store the most recent emails, either by date or by number, not sure which. My personal email only goes up until the 23rd before it has to 'load conversations', which I believe is grabbing them from the network.

There is a degree of offline email with these recent conversations, as I've typed up emails off-network and they send as soon as I hit Wifi (or 3G in the phone's case). But nothing like the Outlook-level of Offline email. There is GMail offline for PC, so it is possible Google will bring it to tabs eventually...who knows.
