[T-Mobile LG G2x] 2Noob4U:
I plan on running CM7 on it. I ran CM7 on my MT4G. Really liked some of the new Sense ROM's Evil D was posting up, but I always go back to Cyanogen. It's like your old girlfriend that won't go away.

As far as light leak. Is there any particular place it's bleeding from? Just asking... My last run of phones hasn't been so great. I want to make sure I don't get another problem device. Although, I just read a post in here about the Sensation not being so great either.

Funny. Every phone I've owned comes with some defect
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 2Noob4U:
That's hilarious! I'm just trying to upgrade myself to the next quad core phone... LOL
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brett_day:
again for the bleeding it varies by each G2X. I am fortunate and have hardly any bleed, only place on mine is in the top right hand corner and it can only be seen on a completely black screen. Other G2x screens are so bad that light bleeds around the whole screen.

As for flashing roms, I have not flashed another rom yet but I have rooted. All current roms have the same issues as stock for the most part because they use te same drivers as stock. Until LG releases the update with newer drivers the issues will remain in cooked roms. You will love this phone though. If you get one with just slight screen bleed and no other issues hang on to it. Even though the G2X is flawed at the moment it still wipes the floor with any other phone out there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
I think the bleeding business is overblown. You'll notice it in pitch black darkness on a black screen. During normal use i dont notice a thing.

Sent from my HTC Vision (G2x in disguise)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Totally agree, I barely, just barely notice bleed from the corners on a black screen in a totally dark room other wise I see nothing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 2Noob4U:
Good to note. I'm pretty happy about TMo trading my device for this one. Looks like the root procedure is much easier than any device I've ever rooted. (G1, Magic 32A, Magic 32B, Mytouch Slide, or MT4G)

One Click is about as easy as it gets. I'll let you guys know on Friday about the screen bleed. I read that the newer devices aren't as bad... Not sure if there is any truth to that, but I'll know Friday
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 2Noob4U:
Bleeding

Well I just got the G2x about 2 hours ago. (Yes it's already rooted w/ clockwork and I did a nandroid) That didn't take long at all.

I was checking out the screen and I am getting a little bleed up in the left corner of the screen. I haven't noticed too many bugs either, but I've only had the phone on for about an hour. I won't be waiting around with the Stock ROM either.

Looks like CM7 is still RC for this phone. Which is good news, but what ROM (So far) has the most stuff working? Kernel?

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread at all. I've been trying to read as much as I can.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ciaphuas:
Both mine and my wife's G2x has been flawless
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Add me to the flawless list. No qualms with mine at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
I have both (MT4 and G2x) and G2x is much, much better.

Battery on MT4 can go from full to 5% in 3 hours!

My G2x works fine and I don't encounter the reboot/shutdown issue much.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GideonX:
I'm actually experiencing the opposite.

The battery on my G2x is dropping while I watch it. I've wiped, reloaded, wiped, reloaded, wiped, reloaded and it's still dropping. Battery stats are always wiped as well, something is just chomping away at the %.

I'm currently using my backup MT4G running RG, I did 14hrs on one charge and that's with a 3.5hr conference call and heavy data usage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] allthrottle:
There has got to be data use issues causing the battery on the g2x to drain so quickly. Mine is on cm7 rc1 and I've had out on wifi with no sim in it and mobile network off. I've used it a fair amount and it's currently at 91% left after 21 hours.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbolt_droid:
I was tired of my gps not working with the dreaded spinning circle so i decided to to try to fix it on the cheap. Take a little piece of aluminum foil and jam it between the 2 gold conductors on the right side of your bolt when the bolt is upside down looking from the back. This helps conductivity between the actual gps and foil amtenna on your battery cover. It now takes me 4secs to get gps lock with 10 satellites with gps test from the market. Hopes this helps you too!

FYI the other gold conductors on the top are for the antenna for 3g and lte...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenjeans:
Can you take a picture of what you've done? Curious to see it, and this could probably be improved upon as a 'hardware hack' to improve reception and gps...

Also, grab the speedtest.net app, and do a few trials with and without. Does it make your data go faster?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbolt_droid:
It ain't pretty but it works for me...:D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenjeans:
Haha, slick!

The foil on the left in that picture might not be doing anything, as its about the same size and shape as the foil that's built into the cover (painted black). Nice work though, I'll try this out myself and see what happens.

Do any speed tests?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D623:
Tried this mod and walked outside and still **** gps.. can't even get a lock lol.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenjeans:
Try something better than foil, aluminum is not an ideal conductor....You know those $.99 stick on gold foil cell booster things? I wonder if one of those, modded to contact the contacts on the case, would make a difference.

I'm having similar problems, SD card won't mount when in phone either in recovery or normal.

The SD card can be seen when in a USB reader in the PC

I've followed your instructions below and they exectued OK, but I still can't see the SD Card.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rob.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluNoze:
Aha - sorted it myself! :D

I checked out another SD card and it worked fine. So I put my (broken) SD card into my old Hero and it was recognised OK... Strange I thought as I expected it not to work.

As it was visible from the Hero, I was then allowed by ROM Manager to Partition it. Can't remember exact values but it was approx 512 & 0.

Once this had been completed, and although it had problems mounting on reboot to perform the partition, it seemed to work.

After re-installing it in my Desire I was able to use the SD card both from the phone and recovery.

Thinking back, the problem arose when I flashed the EXT4 Align Flashable.zip as part of my planned move to InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+ STABLE. I'd flashed the EXT4 zip, but my SD card was not then visible to flash the ROM.

Perhaps someone more knowledgeable might correct me, but I think I should've partitioned my SD card prior to flashing, but there was little info on this procedure.

Anyway, hopefully my fix may help someone else out there and I'm now running my planned aforementioned ROM.

Cheers,

Rob. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
Hey guys, I've had this phone ever since it came out. I've been using a HTC Desire Z because it was more stable.

I need a replacement but it's been so long, whats the best route to go if I need a replacement? It's been more than the 14-day for TMobile and 30-day for the LG warranty? I have been told to wait for the update but I have no idea, I was going to sell the phone and get a sensation but I would probably lose $200 dollars since G2x is going for 300 on eBay.

What do you guys think?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Are you wanting to replace it due to software bugs or hardware defects? If its just software then I'd keep it. The g2x roms on here are VERY stable.

[HTC Desire S] chancooluk:
Hi Guys,

I'm having issues with my Desire S disconnecting from my car randomly after a call has been placed (it doesn't happen everytime). Only the phone part disconnects and not the media part, i have to turn bluetooth on and off on the phone to get it to re-connect and the car doesn't realise that the phone has disconnected itself.

I used to have issues with bluetooth on my old desire which would disconnect after a few seconds, it was the main reason i sold it. I've had no bluetooth issues with any other androids that ive owned/own (Optimus One, Moto Defy, Sony Ericsson Xperia X8/X10Mini, ZTE Blade).

Has anybody else had bluetooth issues, or know of any fixes?
[HTC Desire S] WibblyW:
Problems, yes - fixes, no.

Even had to pull the radio fuse to get the radio back a couple of times. I think the DS Bluetooth implementation is rather broken.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
I recently "unrooted" my MyTouch 4G because I found out I had the bad emmc chip and didn't want to "brick" the phone before I got my replacement from T-Mobile. Since I've unrooted the phone, I've noticed that the battery life isn't nearly as good as when I had it rooted running Royal Ginger 2.1 (was running it since the 2nd day I had the phone, the battery life was pretty good on Royal Ginger).

Previously I had a Nexus One (unrooted) running Gingerbread and the battery life was very good. I'm hoping the new mytouch I receive from T-Mobile has the good chip. What ROMs are the closest to the standard android OS (i.e. like the Nexus One/S)? Also, is there a chance that the bad emmc chip correlates with battery life?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLikeAndroids:
Cyanogenmod 7 and Faux's Nexus AOSP Gingerbread ROMs are good.

Stock Android on the MT4G front what I heard has better battery than sense ROMs.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camalus:
That's called sense. Its like a fat chick on a tricycle. Its going no where fast and needs a hell of alot of energy to get there.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
lol yep, sense is a battery whore. sure it has some great widgets and looks good, but at the cost of battery life. if you want AOSP, try out Faux AOSP rom. its just pure awesomeness! also the kernels have a lot to do with battery life as well, as they have many tweaks to get great battery compared to the stock kernel
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
Okay. Thanks for the information. So faux's soap is basically stock gingerbread (like it's on the nexus s/one)? If so, I would imagine it is fairly light and very good on the battery.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
AOSP ;)......and yep, its just like on the Nexus' but better :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davemw2:
How would one know if they have the chip you are talking about and how would they go about getting it replaced via T-Mobile?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
read this thread for some insight on the good/bad chip.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1081243

so far, there is nothing you can do about the fail-pu error or cache errors caused by the bad eMMC chip. T-mobile will charge you a price to replace the phone because its still bootable. Im not encouraging this, but you must brick your phone to get a replacement....

now back on topic :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwilliams05:
I think the auto fill took over and put soap instead of aosp. Lol. I actually put the faux rom on my replacement device (which has the bad screen and chip). T-Mobile is sending another replacement because I told them about the bad screen on the new replacement they sent. This rom makes this mytouch 4g feel just like my nexus one but with a lot more space. Thanks for the info. Hopefully I don't brick this device before I get the new one. I did sign up for the extended warranty, which the guy told me covers any T-Mobile phone you use (whether you bought it or got it from someone else). The only requirements for getting a warranty exchange are no water or physical damage. That was part of the reason I took the chance on rooting this one.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
awesome! just remember when reverting back to stock using the stock PD15IMG.zip, you must be on the stock radio. flash the stock radio before anything else, then you should be good to go with reverting back to stock to send it in

I rooted my phone about a week ago. Things are going smoothly but I keep reading all these horror stories about people bricking while running Gingerbread ROMs. Im running BAMF 3.0 RC3 with the MR2 radio. Do I really have anything to worry about? Im not one to experiment with different kernels, etc. I'm really starting to think I should un-root before something goes wrong.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbledsoe:
People who had never rooted their phones have had bricks too. But it's always a possibility when messing with things you are not supposed to. Plus what are you more likely to see the hundreds of people who's phones run flawlessly or the handful who have some flaw with theirs. I was worried too but I'm now starting to lead towards it not being a radio issue but just a hardware failure. Maybe for peace of mind though you should unroot or revert back to froyo till something guaranteed stable comes out.

If you don't flash anything new, you should be fine where you are. You're probably more likely to brick trying to unroot than sticking with what you have now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoso3319:
Agreed - you're most likely to have problems when you're flashing a Rom/radio or rooting/unrooting. People haven't been having problems with the current GB radio from what I've heard
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RunNgun42:
Your phone wont just up and become a brick out of the blue one day. Bricking occurs while you are actually trying to flash a new rom or something like that. Since you successfully flashed yours, you should be good to go for life now. Problem for you is if you somehow break compatibility with future software because your phone is no longer stock, you may have to unflash/unroot which could then cause you problems.

The only reason for me to root is so I could have free WiFi hotspot, which is a convenience thing really. I dont mind wired tether at all. Well I realize I only need to tether like 3 times per year, when I'm on vacation or something. And even then most hotels offer free wifi anyway. So it was really serving zero purpose for me. PDAnet can fill in the holes and at least I have the peace of mind knowing my phone works the way it was meant to. Bloatware? Meh, I can ignore it. Thunderbolt seems to ship pretty clean.
