[T-Mobile LG G2x] ergibson83:
I can confirm this does work. I am one person who has experienced every problem each person has expressed when attempting the update. I got that crazy status 2010-3015 error, couldn't find phone error, no communication error.

The trick is using mode XP if u have windows 7. I disabled the LG modem driver in windows 7 so Mode XP wouldn't have to fight with win 7 when the phone would USB connect/disconnect.

The above method works but it is VERY touchy as mentioned. I almost ended up sending my phone to LG but I kept with it ...reflashing stock recovery via nvflash in mode xp and letting the LG mobile tool download drivers and installing them is what caused my app to no longer freeze when connecting my phone.

I spent about 8 hours trying to fix my phone. Its possible but u must be patient and persistent. As long as your comp can recognize your phone when u plug it in, i promise u can debrick it. Ill post my steps when I get to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ttxcsabby:
okay here is the trick***

i was getting that error 3012 over and over again... and i saw ergibson83's post about disabling drivers for the lg on windows 7... what i did was this.

when you are running kdz using xp mode on windows 7 ultimate and it begins the IParam count to 100, keep your eye on the usb connectivity. Up top of the screen of XP Mode, you will see the usb tab. when you hear windows 7 trying to grab the device, go up top and reattach the LG Modem and it will continue the count.

Around 50, it did it again.. so i clicked reattach for the second time. Then it reached 100 and i was golden!

now i have beautiful gb running flawless :)

Hope this works for those running XP Mode.

i have windows 7 how can i get it to xp mode plz help

[T-Mobile LG G2x] unknowners:
After a week with the same problem and intensive google search, did this:

Booted into XP downloaded "mcci r firmware update driver for mtk.exe" installed the same (does not install in Win7 environment). started the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN tool and using the update start in the main window managed to update successfully to Gingerbread, now I need to get out of T-mobile's clutches and get cyanogenmod..Any suggestions. Hope my workaround helps.

Before this success I tried everything possible including a visit to a LG Service centre in Chennai who did try sincerely to help but could not. The past week was really frustrating which I do not want to list here but my request is don't give up.

I subsequently checked with LG Service centre telling them I succeeded and described the way I did it. They said they also have XP with the firmware updated and tried it out of 2 different PC's but could not manage the update. Then I tried recollecting what I did try differently and I could see this may be the trick that enabled it to succeed. Before I tried the firmware update. I tried the tool clicked on Phone information in the main indow (both in Win 7 and XP) and then clicked on update start at the bottom of the subsequent window. The tool did collect information and went all the way extracting files rechecking EMEI upto MTK start when the tool kept crashing and failed to update.It is only after this failure did I try the firmware update and running the tool when it succeeded.

Thank my stars I did not format my XP partition which I wanted to last month but did not find the time. If only one person is benefited by this post I would be most glad

Thoughts

http://m.engadget.com/default/artic...id-ios-and-window/&category=mobile&postPage=1

I thought this was the biggest plus for WP7.

However the business side of me says smart move Microsoft. The user base of WP is too small to let this integration go unnoticed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
If it works like WL currently works, there's really no point. Sure, WL will do some stuff. But it just isn't as integrated as it could be to gain a lot of following.

I remember Hotmail from a long time ago...in the early 2000s...that I used extensively. Hotmail was the main online email account. I had a lot of info stored in it...lots of mails, contacts and all kinds of stuff...and MS claimed they were doing some kind of system maintenance and everything was lost. My whole account, all accumulated files, mails contacts...everything...was gone. I stopped using MS services from that point. I felt they were trying to manipulate people into paying for the non-free service.

I have a MS email account, but it isn't trusted with important stuff that I can't cope losing. It wasn't me only. A friend I know that used Hotmail suffered the same thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
Seems to intergrate only your contacts, photos and messenger (no office, music and other things stored on skydrive), it also would be restricted to an app not the same as it being intergrated into the phone.

[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
whoa.... He didn't say anything about Gmail or gogle services in that post. Relax. He had a bad experience and holds a grudge

That's his prerogative.

Btw, I've also had a hotmail account since 2001, never had an issue.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eric12341:
in other threads he has. he would always tot that his Gmail would instantly sync his contact info while windows live wouldn't ni matter if he edited it or not. I haven't had such an issue on my hotmail account but u can kinda see the undertone that was hinting that Gmail would handle this better.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Ok one more thing :

Nokia Maps now on Android and IOS. Thoughts ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Nokia Maps has simply made their mobile maps site compatible with Android and iOS browsers, that is all. So yes, its not anything earth shattering, but Nokia Maps are simply now compatible with their browsers. We're expecting much deeper app-based and possibly even OS-level integration with Windows Phone, so it'll be a different experience with Windows Phone.

Also, the Windows Live integration on other platforms is only an API. Someone still has to build these apps for them, so they aren't available yet till someone makes an app, Microsoft is simply opening up Windows Live to be more accessible on other platforms. You still get top-notch integration with a Windows Phone 7 device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
there was no mention, or undertone of gmail in the entire thread, until you did. giving a persons personal experience isn't being a fanboy, or depreciating another service.

where did you pull that out of. anyway ?

hotmail account since 200x, but changed to omg-alternate-service and enjoy it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nosun27:
I haven't really looked into it much but this sounds like a good idea. If the right tools/apps are developed, it can allow for a seamless experience no matter what devices you're using. Moving from one platform to another won't require a change of services. The SkyDrive stuff should be interesting, could allow it to become a better alternative to other cloud storage services.

Although all that could be completely wrong as I really didn't read the blog post. It just sounds like a good idea
[Windows Phone 7 General] naplesbill:
I have had a Hotmail account since I beta tested the MSN Internet service in the mid 90s. My Hotmail is @msn.com. I have never had an issue with lost data that I didn't cause myself. Besides, now you can use the Outlook connector and store a copy of all your mail, contacts, and calendars locally.

I also find it rather foolish to dwell on the past. Things change so rapidly that holding a 10 year old grudge against one company could mean missing out on something really great. I have issues with Apple, Google, and Microsoft. I also have devices based on all three OSs. They all have good and bad points but I am willing to overlook the bad for the most part.

What I will not do is walk around with blinders on, thinking that any one of these systems are supremely better than the other. This simply isn't true. Nothing can be all things to all people.

I think the WLM integration is a positive change, and shows that Microsoft is learning from past mistakes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
One of these mistakes being the limitations on Zune pass availability. If they'd made Zune pass widespread I'm not sure people would care today about Spotify reaching the US.
[Windows Phone 7 General] SuperSport:
If I noticed correctly, it's the exact same integration available on our WP7 IE9, isn't it? I tried accessing the Nokia Maps site with my Focus, and it seems to work fine. I have not tried with my Android yet, so don't know if there's a difference.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Android and iOS display a more 'mobile' optimized version of the site. I've only been able to view the full Nokia Maps website on Mango (which works just great as well).
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I like Hotmail but honestly it's the only service I used which has constant problems with showing embedded pictures in emails. Refusing to show them actually. On Wp7 it happened in 30% of cases. Also problems with attachements. For me Hotmail is not reliable but I wonder if it has anything to do with my location - Poland.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
That's my point/question, is WP losing the little exclusives it has?

Nokia is supposed to save WP with its map service, but Nokia is making its service for everyone.

WLM and Skydrive is going the same route.

Netflix is on all the major players.

What's left Zune pass and the metro UI?

So I get to keep the same tmo contract for the next year and a half or two even after the acquisition finalises.. I like my 70+ /mnth plan with 5gb data on TMO... When the contract ends, then I'll be on ATT, i don't mind the 2gb data limit since I don't go past 2gb every month anyway, i think it will cost more too especially two years from now or a year.. Att might raise the monthly plans...

I like sim cards..

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Das_Negros:
Nice stated xriderx66....but there is still one thing though. There is a possibillity that the merger may not happen. Yeah there are commercials stating that things will be great when they combine the 2, but nothings said and done. I hope they don't merge; i have heard so many horror stories about AT&T customer service and how T Mobile's is the best so far. I have been with them for about 6 yrs...love their phones and my data plan...2000 minutes $99 bucks....I just don't want AT&T to f*ck it up.As long as there are peeps here to help me make my Vibrant better than what it was I'M COOL !

well a petition is nothing to the companies, we can get 5 thousand people to sign the petition, but they don't care because their coustumer base goes in the millions, if we manage to get a million or two (VERY- screw very this is impossible) people sign the petetion, then MAYBE just MAYBE, its all money.

If ATT doesn't buy TMO maybe some stupid company like Metro will (LOL metro can go suck my 3.7 incher)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJcastaldo:
I have been with T-Mo for almost 7 yrs.. Honestly I know a few friends with Verizon and the plans seem very restricted and the 3G speeds are rediculously lame and from what i have read the LTE network is not much faster than T-Mo's 4G (Super 3G what ever...) and Sprints data speeds are just a joke. My buddy gets only about 5 - 6 mbs on full 4G bars. Same as my 3G Vibrant and way slower than my G2.. So honestly im just going to stay with AT&T-Mobile..

On another note.... My brother and sister have AT&T and they have a similar plan compared to mine and the price is not far off.. :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skeetermac:
I think all of you are right to a degree....i feel like a whore cause i have been with all of the cell phone carriers except sprint....lol, but I can attest to this....they all have a way of bending you over the counter and giving it to you, spit or no spit they leave you with no choice cause they have you locked into a contract, and unless your Joe fricken Rockefeller you cant get out. I have been with T-mobile most recently and if this merger goes into effect it will be just like the cingular/AT&T disaster...the prommise of better service and all the other yellow brick road action....prommising you **** they cant back up....and just when you think it cant get any better they up the anti and jack the prices or throw in some extra clauses into the already long as hell 1700 page contract agreement that no one has the ADHD patience to look through.

If this **** keeps up we will be back to pigeons and smoke signals in no time.

I strongly agree to what xriderx66 said....it is, was, and always will be about the Benjamins, the all mighty fricken dollar....and that sums it up to this, we can ***** and complain....but in the end the man with the biggest wad of cash gets the last word.

just glad to see that some of you have a plan. As for the guy with the phone delema....WOW!!! its one thing to get on the forum but, your addition of phone choice in a forum titled "So where u guys going after merger?"....REALLY?....given my opinion means ****!....you come in here and jump topic and then want to call someone a **** cause you don't like the out come of someones comment?.....I rest my case....lol
