I have a feeling if anything was remotely close to being released, there would be another leaked rom and there hasn't been. So, yeah.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phaet2112:
The forum mod post is a bit old- this is tmonews response to a slow news day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
a month out from when. that's how the trick the stupid consumers such a us. saying it will be a month out. you didnt see us crossing our fingers behind our backs meaning a month out from the summer of 2012.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jr2002ws6:
Well, I've been patient since launch day... and I am now a member of the X-G2X club. Good luck to the rest of ya'll waiting!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gubidi:
Why do you guys still care about this update? Being on XDA, most of you probably rooted, so why not install CM7 while you're at it? It's very stable and fixes a lot of issues with the device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Because if we have the official update, the developers here will probably have access to hardware drivers that function in gingerbread, which MIGHT allow us to get functionality of stereo bluetooth and high def video mirroring through hdmi, among other things.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
Because none of those roms is 100% functional and still exhibit the same bugs as the stock rom. There is no GB kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
children...

u think CM7 is smooth ?? is it your first android man?

u will see performance from CM7 after 3 weeks when u will get official update....

Now it's just FAKE 2.3.4....why? go ask Morfic or Faux123, i didn't have a time
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gpmartinson:
Yea cm7 is great and all but its truly not there fully...a2dp gps and sdcard amongst the most obvious issues.

Really the value of a STABLE gb rom is that a lot of the drivers and system stuff can be moved to a modded ROM. It will be great for all the ROMs when LG gets this out!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
finally first one !!!!!!!!!!!!! +1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phaet2112:
www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/carriers/t-mobile/topics/t-mobile-discontinuing-g2x

Note the mods reply and the number of builds/revisions they are going through. There is work going on for the update, and they also have to update the 2x at the same time, while launching the 3d and updating the G slate. Stock rom has worked well and GB will be welcome with its better battery mngmnt
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derekmclaren:
Where can I get the 2.3 update for the g2x? It has to be somewhere on this site. Please email me if you know where to find it or if you have it! Dmclaren2@gmail.com thx
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
Assuming LG uses alphabetical designation consecutively, that means there have been 25 revisions since launch, and 8 in the past 2.5 weeks. And they still can't come up with an update they feel is worth releasing.

Seems time to give up on this phone, call it bad hardware or whatever, and move on.

Oh, and I don't want to hear that the update works great, they just want to make it even better. If they could get it stable at all, I have to believe they would be falling all over themselves to get it out to the public, instead of continuing to take this kind of a beating in company image.

I personally think they are fixing the hardware of the phone because it can't be fixed with software updates. That would expalin the re-launch comment. Brace yourselves for the T-Mobile G2x 2.0 in the coming weeks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derekmclaren:
What about the HTC sensation? Good phone or no cuz of sense?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
sorry man wrong Thread
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
I don't know about their revision naming scheme, i.e. what constitutes an increase in revision number. And I don't think you do.

Usually more revision means more bugs fixed and better QA testing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
So what happens to the people, that have the first phones. We're stuck with a terd in our hands and we have to like it???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
This is a quote from a post on the tmobile G2X forums:

"So yesterday I went to the Tmo store to get another phone (HTC Sensation). The store rep told me that LG has officially discontinued the G2x and Tmo has sent out an internal message that they will no longer sell or support this phone. In addition, current customers will not be given any refunds. Exchanges for the G2x will ONLY be the My Touch 4g -which LG claims is comporable.

If Tmo sold the phone why cant they recall and warrranty thier product!"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
because it hasnt been discontinued....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
even if we get an official update tomorrow(holding breath for that) that doesnt mean everything yall little hearts desire(gps,a2dp etc) will automagically be fixed. prime example the vibrant with its long overdue updates some people were still and alway will be complaining about the gps among other things.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
If this is all true and tmobile is throwing us all under the bus then that is the worst bit of PR I have EVER seen from a company... **** LG and tmobile both...

Granted LG has NOTHING to lose here... Tmobile puts in an order for X number of phones and LG produces them after receiving their money... Tmobile ****s the bed realizing that the phone they ordered completely sucks ass, stops having LG produce phones and tells them to try to fix it. Meanwhile LG has already made their money from their initial production and is still producing the O2x and instead of telling HTC to produce more sensations because tmobile needs them to give us a comparable phone swap, they tell us all to **** off and offer us the tons of MT4G's that they have in stock...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Your right. I owned a Vibrant. It was a wonderful phone once rooted, but the GPS was definitely a hardware issue. The G2x looks to be just software issues. I only have random reboots and overheating issues when using certain roms. The GPS works excellent once its locked in. The Vibrant's gps was really messed up. It kept recalculating. The g2x GPS doesn't recalculate, it just takes a little time to lock. The only hardware issue I think the g2x has is screen bleeding and that's it in my opinion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
You guys are right...the g2x will probably always suck for you, and will never fill the gap in your soul. Get rid of it and buy another phone, and pretend that it is the only perfectly working device in the world.

It's your money and your happiness...take responsibility and deal with it.

You guys astonish me. If $500, or even $1000 was going to determine whether I was going to be happy or miserable, the choice would be easy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmandros:
Great point. I suffered with the Behold 2 for a year plus if you didn't have that piece of crap you don't know how bad a phone and support can be. Maybe my expectations are low but by comparison the G2X is tremendous. I'm stock but I updated recovery so I can backup. I am getting 24+ hours of battery and reboots only once a week or so. I am very happy with the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
Exactly ! We all got same phone....its our phone, but Lg can deceive only those people who don't know about phones,....... but not for those who from - xda development...we are not just a users....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xargon321:
is the o2x having the very same issues? or is it just the g2x revision because the hardware is difference between the two not much but enough so somethings work and somethings dont. but if it is the hardware even just the g2x you can bet that they will offer replacements. there would be a unholy Crap storm if we found out that they revised the hardware and didn't offer replacements.

also pointing out that they went threw a lot of software revisions. so what? its probably like cm7 nightlys, they add a little here and there and make sure it plays nice with everything else.

also the mod on lg forums said "I think "months" is an exaggeration...I'd be really surprised if it was more than a month out." no where in there did he confirm that its less then a month out he would be surprised if it wasn't but not confirming it at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derekmclaren:
I have 2.3 on my g2x, how do I root it? I had my lg Rep come in and do it for me, can I just use the old superoneclick like I did before?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Um...What?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
So you quote part of the statement. You quoted a somebody, who walked into the store. You didn't quote the LG moderator response. Me thinks you like to stir up trouble....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derekedw:
Guys,

I work for a software company and I can tell you that 2-3 months to move into a different dev environment is nothing. People don't quite understand the move into GB. It's even harder for LG.

Work with Google on getting fixes/updates

Work with Nvidia on getting fixes/updates

Incorporating those into their framework

Release

Test

Report Issues back to Google/Nvidia

Rinse/Repeat.

You guys are just too impatient. The stock ROM on this phone works just fine. If you're getting reboots, I ask you to restore to stock, data wipe, and don't install any 3rd party apps for 2-3 days. See if it makes a difference. Then see what apps you're installing that cause your reboots. As far as the screen bleed, mine isn't bad, but I see it on an all black, backlit screen, but that's more of a hardware issue. Sit tight until the revision is out and then get a replacement.

Having had the Samsung Captivate, I can tell you I went thru similar pains, but it was much worse with Samsung. LG is in growing pains and will learn from it. Be patient. It's their first Android super phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
um...the leak? and i would think u would have to be rooted for him to install that....hmmm so wait ur not rooted now so how do u have gingerbread????!!! wait and u did say lg rep.... hmmm i smell bull**** or screenshots please:D...then if it is the real deal u have to root and throw it into a zip package for us at xda;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
We are not impatient, LG was impatient in releasing the phone too soon. Hardware like a dual core processor and a front facing camera were intended for a newer version of the OS than FroYo. It is absurd to maintain that we as customers have benefited from the full value of the phone as it was shipped. In this case a software update is both expected and required, and so far LG has failed to provide that required update.

At the very least there should have been mature and fully working hardware drivers for the OS that the phone did ship with. Not to provide working drivers for the shipping OS some 3 months after the device went on sale also amounts to abject failure.

If you LG apologists would just stop polluting the boards with your repeated defensive posts...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
How dare you bring maturity and reason to a thread of this type. What were you thinking?

Kids today believe they deserve instant gratification. They feel entitled. Their rights are being crushed or some such nonsense. People are acting like they did not have a return period or the government forced them to buy the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ingjald:
Maybe I was just really fortunate with my OG Droid (froze up only twice in 18 months and never rebooted), but what makes it acceptable for a phone to randomly reboot once a week? If my computer were randomly rebooting once a week, I'd be tracking down and replacing the faulty piece of hardware, not shrugging it off and saying "well, it's a powerful machine, so it's OK".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rhinology:
Sorry, can't agree with you.

I also work on software, specifically, OS-level software for phones. So I totally understand the cost and pain. But, TMO/LG made so many mistakes in execution and communication:

1. Releasing a phone that has hardware issue (screen bleed), and unacceptable software issue (fairly frequent reboot/freeze). What did their test team do?

2. Using vague terms like "soon", "by summer" to lure customers. Later when issues are reported, they dodge, deny, or continue being vague - totally inconsistent.

3. Working blindly with drivers that don't come with source code; not being paid; supporting multiple devices from different manufacturers - CM team still beat LG to deliver a stable Gingerbread build.

I can even forgive TMO/LG for #1 and #3 if they have done #2 right. But they just can't.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Lol at luring customers. If a customer is inquiring about an upgrade, then more than likely they already own the phone. How would being vague on an update lure new customers?

Mean old tmo, tricking us like that. They just lied about the update to get suckers to buy the phone and then keep it.:rolleyes:

Myself...If my phone did not work I would take it back. It's not that hard to do and makes way more sense then some folks here. Why the hell would someone keep a broken phone? Pretty silly if you ask me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
That would hold a lot more water if HTC and Samsung hadn't launched phones with GB in less time than it's taken LG to migrate one. And don't forget it's been six months since the O2X launched in Europe with the same problems. Samsung's also moved half there Android line to 2.3.4 in the past two months. It's even harder for LG because they made it that way. If they had the right people or enough of them they wouldn't be in the situation they find themselves in. I don't feel sorry for them, they made their own bed so to speak.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CESAROX:
Coming from a Cliq XT, you can imagine my woes about waiting for an upgrade. With that said, I don't understand why everyone is so pissed off. I'm still on stock and haven't rooted and my phone works great. I'm waiting for GB to come out until I root because quite frankly the people that say they've rooted are the ones complaining the most. If you can't wait, sell it on Craigslist and dish out the $50 more for a Sensation. Then start this process all over again with a different device since there is not a single phone on the market that is flawless...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Exactly! +1 million
[T-Mobile LG G2x] btate0121:
so a rep came in and just happened to have 2.3 on a usb thumb drive? can you clue us in on the update process? did you also happen to have a computer to transfer the update to your phone around? is the camera app the same as stock android or is it the LG one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dkb218:
If what you say is true derekmclaren, then you USE to work for T-Mobile. But as T-Mobile nor an LG rep has the update yet then I call phooey on you!:mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
A lot of us originally thought of this phone as the new badass superphone / next generation N1 replacement with Tegra 2 and stock Android. I know I'm coming from an N1, so my expectations are high.

The reality of relying on an up and coming but unproven manufacturer for all of my superphone needs is hitting home with LG and the G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
You know, I'm ok with LG reps or TMO reps having stuff we haven'e yet. One of the perks of the trade. If a rep walks into a store and shows off something....well, I've seen that happen before. I considered myself lucky to see it. Of course my reaction was....when can I get it.....but the reality is I didn't expect it right then...but I knew it was coming.

Alot of jobs have those unexpected perks. But to come online and tease about it...instead of helping, answering questions, being a part of instead of disruptive, that's just not cool.

I agree, phooey....some people, you hope, will never reproduce.

Some random dude shows up at my job trying to sell my coworkers a supposed "iPhone 5" and they really believed him. No one bought it but I laughed my ass off. I'll give him credit for showing up with a teardrop shaped phone. I think if i hadn't laughed so loud, somebody would have purchased it.

Ok cool just wait till it gets released dumbass. If it wasn't official I would ask how to root that version. Haha stupid ass
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
OK Derek ...based on your 12 posts I'm sorry for assuming that you don't know what you're talking about. It must be nice being the only person to have the official gingerbread update that we all lust over...I'm sorry for doubting you.

(All sarcasm)

go troll somewhere else ****tard. If you don't even know what the kernel is how in the **** are we gonna believe you?...I'm sorry son, but that is the leaked version of gingerbread. Nothing more nothing less
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
He probably rooted your phone for you artard and then put the rom on ..it doesn't take long..if you don't know how to root how do you know he didn't do it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] p8585:
The one he posted has a different software version and baseband than the one that leaked here
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
True...but the mod in the LG forum said that they are constantly updating their test roms and based on how he explained it that version is 20-30 versions old...hence not an official build but a newer test build than the one leaked in may...I never said it wasn't gingerbread I said it wasn't the OFFICIAL gingerbread build
[T-Mobile LG G2x] javolin13:
build.prop edit maybe?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kangxi:
How about you just post it for us. Even if it is an older version, a leak is better than no leak. Seriously, the G2x is really slacking in the leak department.

It was so exciting having a Vibrant and having leaks come out every week. Then when keeping track of Android news, hearing how all these phones are getting leak and official versions of Gingerbread.

Anyway, the point is, just post it. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] derekmclaren:
If it was a leak my phone would already be rooted, also would have to be rooted if he put a rom on it you doucher. He said its the new official Gingerbread. But I'm sure you know more then an LG rep

That means it must have been a properly signed UPDATE.ZIP file.

It also means he had to transfer it to your phone, either a URL or on an SD card or emailed it to you...

You'll be posting that file right away won't you????? :eek::D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
an lg rep has pointed out that there are newer test versions than the one you have. you probably have an official test build of gingerbread not the official final build of gingerbread...if thats the case you wouldnt need root imo..... if you have an official version, sweet thats awesome share the love. if your not gonna do that, then quit posting and bragging. no one cares ya little ******
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
I'm going to weigh in on this whole controversy about someone having the "official" gingerbread update for the G2X...nothing I say is official obviously but just my thoughts after looking over a few things. First of all, it looks to me like that build has an updated baseband which indicates it is in fact newer than any ROM/leak currently available. Secondly, not to insult derekmclaren, but he doesn't seem like the developer type or even someone who would have the knowledge to root his phone...his Android skills seem to be genuinely...sub-par. Therefore, I don't think he would've flashed or modified any kind of ROM on his own (I know it sounds insulting, but I'm backing you up). Anyway, my final thoughts are this: the build derekmclaren is running probably isn't a "leak" per say, but it's also probably not the official gingerbread build for the G2X. There simply hasn't been enough time or news generated about the subject for an official build to be out there already. I think that derekmclaren may have a test build of gingerbread that has been circulating around LG support techs and other workers, but has not yet been leaked to the public (until now perhaps). Again, I could be completely wrong, but just my thoughts.

P.S. The rep wouldn't have had to root your phone to install an unofficial update. It could have been either a signed package or it may have been in the form of a flashable binary file (like clockworkmod recovery with NVFlash).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
Ummm that's exactly what i was saying
[T-Mobile LG G2x] drumsforjs:
OK if this is the official ( witch I'm taking with a grain of salt) gingerbread update or the recent test build out there once you root your phone post up a link with the zip file of the rom let the devs for the g2x like faux, evil, birgertime, killerface, doniqcc, xboarder (I'm pretty sure I missed some sorry). Take a look at it and get this whole thing straighten up. :D
