Say it was stolen, get a new one!

Faux123 for Dev!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
so, even though it's been available only through lg's own software update tool, you're saying someone else put this update out?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Helixdimension:
if you feel too burdened to read a thread that asks no questions whatsoever and simply forewarns then you should gracefully stay the hell away from xda before you come across a "redundant" thread asking a QUESTION--god forbid, and it be one that has been answered already(because that doesnt EVER happen 'round here!!!)

***thanks for the good intentions rayvenhawk!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
LG sent it via THEIR tool all I did was do a manual update via their tools & software, no rooting involved.

Granted it was my fault for doing it, but how many people used the LG tool to update only to get where I was? From what I saw online many people were/are in my boat so it's not just isolated to rooting/hacking/circumventing/or anything else of that nature. LG f'ed up and the customer gets the shaft because of it.

On a side note I did manage to fix it via another thread here, but the point of this thread was not asking for help but to let those who had reservations on doing to be aware that TMobile will void your warranty if they find out you updated in any capacity outside of their official OTA.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
That thought did cross my mind, but thankfully I got it up again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
How do you check the version you have?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
take off the back cover. it's printed right below the battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Now there's something be thankful for.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
OK thanks I have the dw version nice
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Mine says LGP999DW below the battery, however when I connect it to the LG Update tool it shows LGP999DWP. So the only way to find out which one you have is to plug it in....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
I was going to say the same thing! Mine says DW, but when I plugged it in it said DWS.

By the way, why would you tell'em what you did!

I have a replacement coming.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
the lgupdate tool is as whacky as the drivers on this phone. it doesn't matter if your phone is dw or dwp.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Common sense just isn't that common...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
what

the lg update tool is an official tool By LG made to update. LG personell tell people to check it for updates on their phone. i have seen them point people on other phones to this tool often. The lg update tool said an update for your phone is available it didnt say this is beta it didnt say prerelease. This is an official release by LG.

Noone hacked, noone got a leak.

tmobile can play their little games all it is doing is losing them customers.

doesnt matter if phone is working great or lousy we have all learned a lesson here regarding tmobile and lg ..what you do with that information is up to you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jland22:
When I plug my phone in and open the lg update tool, where does it say what model? All mine did was search and connect to device when opening saying an update was available but wouldn't let me see the info of update
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
same here

i didnt see where it said the phone version maybe it passed by quick.

i tried the update first time it stopped at 4% so i just force closed the updater and did it again and it worked. lucky i guess. probably shouldnt of done that :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
Actually mine shows LGP999DW but the LG Update Tool showed LGP999DWP so I don't know if the phone physically shows it or not.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
im sure it doesnt

its jsut they cleared the phones and put on the os again and added that nice little P to the end to show it was refurbished

which sucks since people only returned the phone because it was defective and now they are stuck with a model marked as refurbished which like a used car decreases resale value.

and it appears all they did was take returned phones place this new os on and sent them out again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rayvenhawk:
I saw no reason not to tell them, I told them I used the LG Update Tool (which I did) as a normal everyday user (which was a stretch of the truth). I figured with common sense LG and TMobile discussed this update....apparently I was wrong.

I do have a feeling that the tech was just blowing smoke because she was too stupid to understand what I was telling her. When I submitted the problem I was very clear on what I used and did, her first question was what website did I download the update from....I should have ended it right there but instead I corrected her and ended up pissed off more than I was prior to the chat.

But then again the stance they've taken with this phone has me partially convinced they would pull something like this just to ease their requirement to actually fix the phone. "TMobile to LG: Hey why not release the beta update so when customers eff up their phone, we can claim unauthorized software modification and void their warranty, no more need of this stupid update they are *****ing about. : LG to TMobile: Yeah great idea, and how about we exclude a version for the hell of it to piss them off even more causing them to circumvent it so they can eff up their phone that way too. Because fixing the OS for the G2x is just a huge pain in our ass, we have better things to do to screw people out of their money." (all this is followed by the obvious evil laughter and such.....of course that conversation sounded 100 times better in my head)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Black6spdZ:
Snap-on also makes a tool that will take the drain-plug off of your engine.. if you forget to tighten it after an oil change and cause a seized engine is it their fault, or the vehicle manufacturers? I'm sure T-Mobile's stance is that any update from them will be in-house or OTA... any deviation and they can't be held liable. I've said this once before on another thread.. XDA is a phone "hacking" site.. I seriously doubt any carrier endorses information found here. Even if it was the "official" update and utility.. would they somehow also be liable for every kid that attempted to update on their massively overclocked computer that froze half way through?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
not a comparison at all

this comparison does not make sense as to this situation.

Lg has an official update tool. they tell people on their forums to check that tool for updates for their phones. they do not say it isnt supported by the carrier. neither does the tool. The lg update tool has nothing to do with XDA. and LG is the manufacturer of the phone.

XDA was not the only place that info came out about the update on lg's tool.

this is just another sidestep from tmobile to get out from under supporting this phone. tmobiles actions regarding this phone have been atrocious and contiune to be period.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Black6spdZ:
The whole G2x fiasco has been a big mess.. will this be the last product rushed to market with tons of problems.. I doubt it. The point I am trying to make is that with almost any device, updating firmware, BIOS, etc there is a real possibility of a bricked device should the update be interrupted for whatever reason... and when that process fails who clicked the start button to begin it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
better

This is a better analogy but still not pertaining. many people didnt interrupt or have the update interupted other than a rumor of lg's site not handling the load. there was no reason anyone shouldnt think that updating from lg's tool(well other than it was a lg product) was a problem or would cause one.

Its not that the product was rushed or that it had problems its the way tmobile and lg have handeled it which in my opinion has bordered on criminal. Tmobile has shown to be a disgusting company as far as i am concerned !

You know what the difference between tmobile and a carp is. one is a bottom dwelling scum sucker and the other is a fish.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
Aside from the standard Google Maps, are there any good GPS systems to go along with this phone? Should I just rely on Google Maps?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Google Maps should come with the built in Navigation and it works very well IMHO.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
Pre-render? Can you have satellite view pre-rendered?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I spent the day driving around in a roughly 25 miles radius, to put the gps of the device to the test. I used google maps as it came pre-installed on the phone and this was my first full day with it.

Gps works as a gps, and functions even with wireless and cellular service disabled. (duh, but had to check it wasn't getting location via 4G)

Worked extremely well, and the radius to my location only raised above 10 meters a few times. Generally speaking I feel comfortable in saying it'll peg the phone to 10 meters through gps alone pretty consistently.

This was at speed in a vehicle, and on foot through parking lots and such. Even though it said to within 10 meters, I found that on foot it pegged the phone to about 3 feet. (1 meter) I could tell this by coming to and crossing roads marked on the map, and being zoomed in gauging how far that road actually was in front of me)

Using GPS only for location services, I lost reception whenever I entered a building, but sometimes it would find it again. Some of the buildings I walked into have enough electrical interference that cell phones don't get reception, so it was a good run of places to test it.

I got a handful of errands run in the process, so it was a pretty win situation.

For an out of the box solution, i'm impressed. It did much better then my year and a half old bottom of the line garmin nuvi 255w. Granted I bought that as the cheapest one I could find at the time, so it's no surprise this phone has a much more advanced gps functionality.

One of the reasons I purchased this device was to replace my GPS. When I bought the GPS unit I wasn't sure it would be worth the money at the time. Since then i've capitalized on having it by getting a job that entails a lot of running around to different locations, and a GPS unit is a necessity for the work. I've been looking to get a better GPS unit then a low end model for a while now.

I'm definitely on the lookout for other GPS capable map apps to use for navigation - what's better and why?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
I'm excited to finally try Satellite imagery on my next trip. Most coverage areas certainly cover the traveled highways, so it should be very interesting.

Now if I can just find that pesky windshield mount!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
After a few days of heavy usage, i'll say that using google maps in satellite view for gps navigation in a vehicle absolutely chews through battery power.

Not too bad with regular map view.

Also, more time spent on foot gets me to reasonably often within 4 meters on foot in the more populated areas.

I've been intentionally not using my car charger while doing all my running around, it's giving me a good guage of how much battery it eats. Car charger is a necessity if using satellite view.

Edit:

Is there any way to download the google map database for offline browsing? I know you can pre-cache map data using the google labs option in the maps app, but can I download something like my state, for instance, and access it offline?

Is there a way to turn on app ads in a custom rom or at least for one app? There is an app that I have that in order to become a full version, one has to click on an ad. However, because I am running a custom rom, continuum to be exact, the ad will not pop up. Can this be achieved? Of course if the only way for this is to work is to use a custom rom or stock rom that allows ads permanently then I doubt it is worth it.

Hye Folks.. im newbies from Malaysia,pls help me to update gingerbread.. im using Atrix AsiaRetail.. i cannot update Gingerbread using OTA or MSU.. its tell me your device is up to date..

i also attach my system information.. plz give me a solution.. thanks all

Version .4.3.10.MB860.AsiaRetail.en.03
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OngPangTau:
You can't get the Gingerbread version at this moment. Be patient now because there are also many users in Malaysia who are using Motorola Atrix (non-4G) too.

Those threads that posting the latest Gingerbread SBF file(s) does not suit our version in Malaysia. You might not be able to flash "these" firmware into your Atrix too. Correct me if I am wrong...

If your Atrix is still not rooted then keep it as it is (if you want to have the OTA update later BUT YOU REALLY NEED A LOT OF PATIENT).

If you don't care about the Gingerbread update then you may proceed with the rooting. You may refer to this link: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=578771&d=1303829207

Not rooting a company phone, it is my phone but i connect to my work with it for emails, contacts, etc... but to take your method of thinking... Perhaps we should'nt root our phones at all since verizon does not approve of it.... :rolleyes:

I'm curious to know how the app checks whether the device is rooted. I see similar behavior with the new Android Market on my rooted Nook Color; Movies just don't show up, but I don't get a SuperUser request, or anything indicating the app is checking for the ability to gain root.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dalrym05:
Are you sure its rooted? Rooted? Rooted?
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] altimax98:
I bet that the app can scan the installed apps and check for SU. I would check the permissions of the app and see if there is anything odd. If your running CM7 i thought a little while back they introduced the ability to block permissions for apps. Might start there.

[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
My 4G data speeds are usually around 6mb/s in my area but they just dropped to 300kb in my area. I called customer support and confirmed there are no outages in my area nor am I being throttled. I have already pulled my SIM to no fix. Anyone have any other ideas?
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
Heavy usage straining the network in your area? I have seen some random speed drops in my area, either my phone is connected to a farther tower or the network is getting hit harder at that moment. Thats what I chalked mine up to at least. Speeds returned to normal after a little while.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Its been going on for 5 hours.
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
It is very normal..I usually got a dowload speed at 8mb/s in las vegas,but only 4mb/s in orange.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
What do u mean its normal? I have got 5mb/s in this location (at work) for the past year. Now all of a sudden my upload speeds are completely normal and my download speeds are hitting less than 100 kb/s. I don't see anything normal about that. Not to mention, everything was fine for the first 2 hours in this location.
[HTC Sensation] alejate76:
What apn settings are you using to get such high speeds? I'm lucky to get 2mb down .5 up on ATT with bell version phone
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
I got that sometimes as well..Speed test same location sometimes a got 5Mb/s,and sometimes got 300Kbps.I don't know why either.May be many people use t-mobile's network and download something so you get pretty low speed.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Ok, it is now 12:30Am where I live and the speeds have been the same for 6 hours. I know this tower hasn't been crowded for 6 hours straight with people downloading things when it hasn't been crowded in the middle of the day for the past year. Something is wrong and I promise you, it is not due to people downloading on the same tower. You don't just download over 5mb/s every single day for the past year and then 300kb/s the next day. Sorry but it doesn't happen . Especially during off peak hours at 12:30 in the morning.
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
Impossible no, implausible yes.

While you might not have an outage in your area perhaps they are doing maintenance and cut a few towers down transferring the load around to surrounding towers. This does not signify an outage as you have not lost service.

Anything on your phone calling out for data in the background?

Does the phone still register 4g or has it dropped to 3 / 2g? Have you rebooted the phone? Disabled / re-enabled data connection on the phone? Are you using an application or website to gather your speed data? have you tried both to see if just an application or website is mis reporting?
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
Is anybody else use S4G?What's his speed?Or you back up all your data and do a factory rest,test it agian?
[HTC Sensation] Jimx2:
Yeah, Mine's always like this ): I don't know if it's the phone or the network in my area.. sucks
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
It is still registering as 4G. My upload speeds are normal but download is not. I have restarted the phone multiple times, I've pulled the SIM, I've switched to WCDMA only and back to auto again. I have been using the Speed Test app to test the speeds and they are right because web pages are taking minutes to load. I am on my works WiFi right now which is fine. Those speeds are normal.
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
Personally I'd wait it out. If speeds are not back from a week from now, I would most definitely contact customer loyalty. Tell them youre unhappy with the service, etc and you jut purchased a new phone. maybe you can get out of contract or maybe they can look into your problem to a further extent.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Yea, I just hope it doesn't happen when I go home in the morning where I also get speeds greater than 5 MB/s and my house is about 15 towers away. If it happens, then we know its a problem with the phone. I don't think Customer loyalty can do anything g for me being I am not on contract and they just recently gave me a free Sensation while remaing off contract. They also let me keep my G2X so they have done more than enough. I just want a replacement if there is something wrong with it. Hopefully there's not.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
So you've done everything except call TMO. You might see what they have to say.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Nah, I called them when I first noticed it to see if there was a outage in my area or if I was being throttled. I already said I called them in a previous post.
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
Weird, I wonder if they could be throttling you on accident and it had not shown up in the system yet or whomever you asked about the outage was not looking properly.

Anyone else you know with the same phone or 4g device that can test and see?

Outside of pursuing phone problems and Tmobile issues in your area I'm outta ideas :(
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
(UPDATE)...... My phone is perfectly fine everywhere else and I am now back at work where I am on the same tower I got these slow speeds on. I am chalking it up to a problem with this tower since my phone is fine everywhere else.
