[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
This.

Who sold me my phone? Tmo.

Who is my contract with? Tmo.

Who's logo is on the phone? Tmo (along with LG).

Who decided that the G2x was good enough in its present form to make their flagship phone? Tmo.

Tmo could have said "No, this phone is no where near ready for market, we'll pass for a few months". But they didn't.

Of course it's LG's fault the phone itself sucks; they make the thing. But it's Tmo's fault for offering it to me as a commercial product that was "ready" and being more than happy to take my money for a bunk product.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
When Tmobile puts there name on a device, they expect the manufacturer to actually do its job by testing the phone. LG half assed it so its LG who needs to fix it. I can see it now if Tmobile decided to test all of its phones delaying the release by weeks or months. Then people like you would start complaining about the delayed releases.

Start writing emails to LG and tell them to assign more engeneers to the G2X GB update. Tmobile sure as Bell isn't going to waste money by hiring engeneers to fix every phone they put there name on. Tmobile is the provider of a cell service. Not the manufacturer of the devices it allows run on its network. Lastly, if you think for one second, Tmobile doesn't have a contract with these manufacturers that states they will fix what needs to be fixed then your not living on the same planet as I.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brdma:
I'm happy to agree with that, but we both know that is smoke and mirrors. In the end, it is still up to LG to produce a quality device with quality software.

The only people that have a real gripe with TMobile (in my mind) are those that switched from another carrier specifically for the G2X, and we've already seen examples on this board of folks being allowed to break their TMobile contract because of this. Again, TMobile doing its job. I would be one of those people (switched specifically for the G2X), but I've got a problem-free phone. Everyone else was already under contract with TMobile, and will have the option of choosing another device to replace their G2X. Again, TMobile doing its job.

I would try to fault TMobile for not predicting these issues, but LG has produced some decent phones in the past, and the G2X still boasts the best hardware of any phone on the market right now (yes, better than the Sensation). This is not just a flavor of the month device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
All phones that T-Mobile offers are essentially "house brands". T-Mobile says "we offer the following phones for purchase and use on our network. They meet our quality standards and are ready for the market. We are ready to put out name behind this phone."
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
Last I checked T-Mobile isn't offering any alternative devices. Also, you need to head to law school before making such blanket statements as to whether T-Mobile has done their job.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Yea I agree. If LG gave the update to Tmobile for testing, Tmobile would have the update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
When all is said and done T-Mobile and LG share liability here - T-Mobile, as the seller, marketer, and brand is going to have to make customers whole if there is not fix - it is then T-Mobile's job to go after LG for any sustained losses.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Except?? How about VERIFY. And do their own damn testing. It's called Due Diligence.

No, I'd be happy because I didn't have a phone that shut itself down several times per day. Neither LG nor T-Mobile is paying me to be a beta tester...

Tmobile is the provider of a cell service and sold me the device, branded with its name, that it allows run on its network.

FTFY
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brdma:
The premise of this thread is that TMobile is not doing its job. Why wouldn't you offer to send him to law school? Something tells me that it is because you like what he is saying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brdma:
Then call TMobile, get yourself a new phone, or get out of your contract. That is where your phone carrier comes into the scene.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
lol i was thinking same thing i was like:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
Both lg and tmo are to blame!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brdma:
Fence-sitters not welcome! This thread is only for those willing to spew out illogical monkey banter.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Agreed. I'm making that point exactly. T-Mobile is NOT blameless by any stretch of the imagination, and their trying to redirect blame to LG is pathetic.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
what can I say
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
BTW, I'm obviously not blaming you avetny or other non-decision-makers at Tmo. It's just a HUGE per peeve of mine when a company blames their "subcontractors" for their failings.

I used to work for a bank who's online bill-pay software sucked. When people would call and complain about some issue, our CSRs used to say "Oh, well that's not our fault, it's Company XZY that we contract to to run our Bill Pay software".

F that! It's branded with the bank's name, and the bank offers it as their service. That's the opinion this thread was started to convey.

PS - Awesome Epic Fail image there. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Different analogy. You sign-up for cable service with Comcast. They provide you with a Motorola cable box to access their content that they bill you every month for. The cable box reboots in the middle of pay-per-view movies and other premium content. They start issuing Scientific-Atlanta cable boxes to new customers instead of Motorola's. They tell Motorola customers for months that "a fix is coming." The bill keeps coming as usual but you're not able to enjoy their content uninterrupted. Who is your beef with, Comcast or Motorola? What would you expect them to do for customers that were effected?

Original Post>

"Absolutely ****ing ridiculous. Hey T-Mobile, guess what logo I see when I look at the front of my phone? YOURS! Quit blaming what is essentially a contractor of yours and own up!

If I lived in an apartment with a busted furnace and complained to my landlord that it still hadn't been fixed after a week, would I accept a reply like "Well, the contractor I use sucks and can't get his act together, so be mad at him."? **** no! It's YOUR responsibility to get this **** fixed, Mr. Landlord/T-Mobile, I don't really care who you rely on to get it done.

My contract is with T-Mobile. Not LG. Get your act together T-Mobile."

<Assemble Nomex, Gloves, Boots, Fire Suit>

<Flame ON!>

I have lurked this forum since I first purchased my G2x, which has had NO PROBLEMS since day one. I'm not a Dev, though I started my tech career on IBM029's and system 360's, I do now my limitations, and I'm not a programmer.

That being said WTF is going on with all the whinning about this device, fer Christs sake it a Bleeding Edge product, if you are an early adopter and you expect the product to be stable and rock solid you need to double your meds, it ain't gonna happen people! There's a reason most businesses won't implement technology until the first set of patches are released.

Quit your whinning, if you want stable buy a two year old phone, better still get a 'berry! I can't tell you the number of time's I hit the Bozo button reading stuff like this. The distributor IS NOT responsible for the maufacturer's product, and if you think otherwise you need to renew your subscription to High Times

<Flame Off>

<Nomex Off>

The members of this forum who contribute common sense and great products make this site the absolute ****z!!

Seriously
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
you know why people !!???!!!!!!!!!

JUST thats why!

LG is just a

LOL
[T-Mobile LG G2x] airborne3e9:
i would compare this to any of the nexus phones...google doesnt build the phone but they put thr name on it...if a nexus phone has problems, slow updates, whatever, we blame google not the company they choose as the manufacturer...this is the tmobile g2x...not the lg g2x...if T-Mobile wants to have branded phones they need to be held responsible if their phone has problems...not pass the buck.

just my 2 cents

they should definitely be upset with lg and on there **** daily/hourly till this is resolved ...but that should be behind closed doors not put on blast on fb cause there upset that the phone they accepted as there flagship device is a buggy *****.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Well you need to check harder. Multiple people including MYSELF got alternate devices. If your not happy with Tmobile or the G2X, then BYE. Cya! There is multiple other providers with plenty of phones. Now either do one of 3 things. Bring the right information the next time you want to tell me I'm wrong, stay on Tmobile and get you G2X replaced or go to another provider and get a different phone but please stop *****ing over something you know absolutely nothing about. Somebody doesn't need a law degree to figure that out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
wooooooooooh!!!! lol made my day:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
hahhah that guy is UPSET !lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
FYI, I have an MS in CompSci and work as a software engineer (C, C++), so I am not some random dude with unrealistic expectations for perfect tech. /flex If we deployeda product for a client of ours that acted like this phone, we'd deserve to be laughed out of business...

There is a world of difference between a product which is not "rock solid" and a product that shuts itself down 25% of the time I connect it to an AC charger (within minutes), starts getting really hot, and won't restart without a battery pull. Especially a device which I expect to be "always on" and does not warn me in any way when it has shut down.

I must have come across as SEETHING WITH RAGE, which I am really not. Just screw T-Mobile for saying it's LG's fault for the delay. It's T-Mobile's fault for offering a faulty product to me and taking my $ as if it were not faulty.

PS - Good for you for having a non-retarded phone. Not being sarcastic, I wish I were in the same shoes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
yea bottom line guys is they should have absolutely done more qc, but didnt and wanted there product out asap, now we the consumers suffer, and yes its not fair, but there really isnt **** we can do about it...and that my friends is the ****ed part of all this mess.........
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
shoot i forgot what this thread was about

most official statement yet "there has been no official statement" :)

it is kinda disheartening when they dont even insure that they mention the correct manufactures. im betting htc has that fixed on the facebook much faster than we see this update :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brett_day:
This is not even an official statement. This statement has come from some Facebook page created by a nobody who was having a rant on the Facebook page they created. Why believe this nonsense if it is not an official statement?

The day an OFFICIAL announcement comes down the pipeline from either LG or T-mobile then I will have a gripe if it is not to my liking, I bet by Friday we have official word from both camps.

At the end of the day it is LG's fault that the phone has hardware and software issues. They create the hardware and they make the drivers to make the thing work. T-mobile has nothing to do with shoddy craftsmanship, it is however their job to satisfy their customers.

It is ultimately LG's fault for the crappy hardware, but T-Mobile should have had more testing done on their "flagship" device. T-Mobile needs a punch in the neck for selling and supporting a flawed device, and for not communicating with us in regards to what is going on, however we are all waiting on LG now, even T-Mobile is waiting on LG. Until LG creates new drivers, and addresses hardware flaws we are stuck, and no amount of yelling and screaming at T-Mobile will solve anything.

Now if T-Mobile does truly have the updated GB software from LG running on some test devices I would make damn sure that the thing works 100% before even thinking about releasing it. T-Mobile cannot afford another epic screw up like they one they have on their hands now, especially seeing as it could have been avoided with proper testing in the first place

The update will come when it is ready. If you do not like the G2X, try to exchange it, sell it on craigslist, do whatever you want with it so that you can get another phone, there is no point *****ing and moaning about it in forums as it will not solve anything.

Just remember that if you leave to get a different phone, you will be taking a HUGE step backwards. When GB does finally come out it will dominate every other phone, heck even though it is flawed right now, it is putting others to shame. Sit tight, things will be put right soon enough.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
There, that it exactly how I should have worded my original post. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I agree. Tmobile sold it. Tmobile looks at a ton of phones and selects which ones it wants to sell. Tmobile selected the G2x because it is a sweet phone. Tmobile made an agreement to sell. Tmobile put its name on it. Tmobile released it and sold it to its customers. Tmobile should be held responsible for either refunding or swapping it out for a like model.

They obviously know there is an issue which is why they did a soft pull. I understand that under normal circumstances the 14-day/30-day exchange window policy. But to start charging restocking fee's to have a known-defective phone replaced is

stealing

. Now some of us are out of the return window and seeing the matters getting worse, what are we to do? Just get screwed?

I understand that LG is the one that actually makes the update. We also know Tmobile has it testing in the field. So in my head, LG is probably already done with their part. Seems now we're just waiting on Tmobile to OK it.

I can tell you one thing though, for simple profiting, I almost guarantee the OTA update won't be available to existing users until AFTER Tmobile gives the OK on the update and LG starts producing Stock-GB handsets that are shipped out to the stores and made available for purchase.

Mine works great btw. Not to rub it in but just so readers know my standpoint. I'm not looking to get my money replaced or offered another handset, but in my opinion, under the circumstances, this is what I feel would be right.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
You're oblvious and it's pointless to even try to explain all the issues with your so-called options.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
Anyone who is suckered into paying a restocking fee or any other type of fee for either a replacement g2x or a new device is a fool.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
my next device... will ABSOLUTELY be a nexus device. I love HTC.. i am starting to loathe LG... but neither one of them are timely with updates.. even on devices with a "google" experience (ie.. no custom UI).... *sigh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
guys this last part is so true even tho this phone is flawed it still puts alot if not most phones to shame hands down, and if tmobile and lg get this gingerbread update rite,....wow forget about this phone will dominate for a good while guaranteed, we have great hardware, just need the software, heres to hoping lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I'm obvious with what. You told me that Tmobile wasn't replacing the G2X with other devices. I told you that statement is wrong since I myself got mine replaced and got to keep my G2X. I know of others who got the same deal and I know even more who got there G2X replaced but had to send it back. It is Tmobiles fault for selling the device in the first place but that is not what the title of the thread says. Its LG's job to update it with firmware. How long do you think it would take Tmobile who didn't develop the software to begin with. In the end, its nobodys responsibility to update the device but the manufacture. Now, it is up to Tmobile to make the customer happy and replace there broken device with something else. By the way, the Facebook post you quoted is not an official word from Tmobile. Lastly, if you want to talk about Tmobile carrying the device in the first place then make a thread on it. I was responding to a post that had to do with Tmobile blaming LG for a Gingerbread update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pinhead:
I must agree. T-Mobile liked it enough to put their name on it. It is past time to step up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
I thought it was. My bad, :mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
i knew something wasnt rite when i seen htc lol, cuz they definitely would have fixed it or not let it get posted like that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordIzod:
Um yeah, this thread should be deleted. It's pretty obvious that the FB page is a fan page and not an official T-Mobile page.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brett_day:
The first part was true too about this not being an official statement from LG or T-Mobile ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] Take05:
Does anybody have any info on when this cable will be available? I was also wondering if anyone knows if I can play the 3D Movie from my phone on my 3D T.V. with this cable.
[HTC EVO 3D] rtmeikle:
I don't have a 3D tv, so I can't test the 3D aspect of the cable, but I have tested the HDMI mirroring.

I ordered the MHL adaptor from T-Mobile's website. Look under the "data" accessories for the Sensation.

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Addons/Accessories/Default.aspx

It was $19 plus shipping. I tried a few local T-Mo stores, but nobody had it.

Anyway, I tested it last night. You need to have a charger, a normal HDMI cable, and the adaptor. The adaptor plugs into your phone's USB port, and then you need to plug the adaptor into your phone's charger and into the HDMI cable running to the TV.

You'll get full HDMI mirroring, meaning whatever is on your phone's display is on the TV. I only tested for a few minutes, but when I first attached it, there was a portrait view of my phone's screen up on the TV. I then tested both Netflix and HBO Go, which both flipped the image to landscape, filling the TV screen. Quality was pretty good with Netflix, and only adequate with HBO Go.

Hope that helps!

Rob
[HTC EVO 3D] wrxlvr:
Anyone tested a non-MHL micro-USB to HDMI? I don't need charging, just want to display to a non-3D set.
[HTC EVO 3D] rtmeikle:
No such thing. Must be plugged in to charge in order for the HDMI out to work.
[HTC EVO 3D] nunyabiziz:
Show me a non-MHL micro-USB to HDMI adapter/cable.
[HTC EVO 3D] wrxlvr:
What a crappy setup. I MUCH prefer the Evo 4G way. With this I have to carry my charger, the USB cord for the charger, a full size HDMI cable, and this adapter? LAME.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
You know there's a search button right? There are about 20 threads loaded with MHL information.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hved999:
Hey guys, I know one of the major cons about the Nexus S and NS4G is that there there is no notification LED light. I was wondering if the bottom function buttons (back, menu, search, and home buttons) could be used as notification LED. Could any of the Developers do anything with this concept? or Maybe even use the camera flash LED.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerbeck24:
Yeah we already have this. It's called BLN support. Back light notification. Need to be rooted, have the BLN app and have a kernel that supports it like netarchy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hved999:
where can I get the app. Is it on the Market?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerbeck24:
Yup just search BLN and BLN control will show up. There is a free and pro version. Pro version includes blinking and some other features.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximilian Mary:
You can find netarchy here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rikardo1979:
hmm, what about this :)

BLN control - Pro or BLN control - Free

;)

enjoy

:cool:

works fine with Matr1x kernel too ;)

or if u have an SAMOLED version u can try NoLED whats nice too.

But as I said, only for SAMOLED not S-LCD !! cos its ruin your batt ;)

Hi,

Just converted to android from iphone.

When listening to music via earphones, im noticing the volume isnt that loud even when ive turned it up to the max (15).

Ive seen other posts explaining how to get into service mode and amend some volume settings, but this only applies to in call volume. Im looking to increase the volume when listening to music.

The current volume is def too low.

[General Questions and Answers] madmaximillian:
seriously this is the phone that is apparently the 'best of 2011', yet it has such a huge glaring bug like this? To shock new buyers who were told this phone was great?

This is a dealbreaker. Volume on a phone matters. Why hasn't a solution been offered, or rather why is this such a concealed ill-discussed problem?
[General Questions and Answers] josealejandro93:
I don't think it's quite a bug or Samsung's fault. I've been using original Ipod earbuds from the Apple Store and they work like a charm. But when I try to use some sony headset, the sound is all noisy and it's quality sucks. I think that there may be a problem like drivers or something on how the signial is sent to the terminal. :)
