I don't think LG or T-Mo or anyone else should even be calling this premature release "Gingerbread", Is there a legal definition of what constitutes 2.3.3?

What we have here is a half baked steaming pile of code.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
The android camera compresses photos a lot more than the LG one did. From what I can tell, the pictures start out the same quality, but lose it all when compressed. There's definitely a noticeable difference.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CaliLove310:
I did, always do for a clean install. Only problem I was experiencing is the camera force closing when opening. When it would work, it would freeze in the middle of recording a video, or by trying to change some settings like turning flash off/on. Clearing the Camera app data did nothing for the force closes. After it force closed, when opening the camera app, all I would see is a black screen. I could see the UI but nothing else. A reboot is the only thing that fixed it, until I wanted to use the camera again.

Yes, you have to unroot the phone in order to avoid any and all of the issues some members are referring to up to avoid bricking your phone.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
The devs need drivers that are correctly written by the manufacturer. If this is a final update this phone is practically dead already... and so is LG's reputation as a smart phone maker.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mashix:
We should just give them hell cause their lazy and don't want to give us our updates/fixes just like that lawsuit..then they came out with this mess? and half the people don't even have the half-baked GB yet. :/

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ingjald:
Same here. I've been waiting for the official Gingerbread update for the last 55 days or so, meanwhile trying everything (including Cyanogen) in the hope that the reboots would stop. I installed the official update today, and my phone rebooted during an important call.

I really want to like this phone, but a phone absolutely must not reboot randomly. It is just not acceptable. I know that the Sensation 4G might not be as fast as the G2x, but I value stability over a slightly faster phone. This was LG's chance to fix the G2x, and they failed. I'm just glad I bought it at Costco so that I can still exchange it.

" I've been waiting for the official Gingerbread update for the last 55 days or so, meanwhile trying everything (including Cyanogen) in the hope that the reboots would stop. I installed the official update today, and my phone rebooted during an important call."

I don't think I've ever had either of my G2xes reboot randomly, but I don't doubt the reports. Given that they seem to happen on various different ROMs I have to wonder if it may be a hardware thing, or since many report reboots on replacement phones too, perhaps it's certain apps or combos of apps.

I have to manually shutdown/restart the phone at times when the phone/wifi/gps radios stop randomly for no good reason. Sometimes I've had to do this often, other times weeks go by when my phone is basically acting near perfect.

So strange!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pdxmatts:
My thoughts exactly :o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ingjald:
I don't think it has anything to do with apps. When I first installed CM7, I had my first random reboot before I had reinstalled any of my apps (not that that's an excuse for the phone rebooting, anyway--no non-root app should ever be able to cause the phone to reboot; also, the apps I have are the same ones I had on my OG Droid, which had no problems).

I agree that this is probably a hardware problem that a large portion (but not all) of the G2xes have. If the reboots were something that could have been fixed in software, I would have expected that either CM7 or the official Gingerbread update would have done so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nazzza:
jacob how you can be sure about that?

I'm at my 3rd G2X.

I had gps problems on my first one, rebooting problems on the second one, the third one reboots only random.

I had original rom on all 3 the phones. The second one was rebooting so much that I sent back before I installed anything, so if its an app problem, are tmobile apps causing the rebooting.

BTW, I'm not able to install the update. I'm following the instructions, at about 30% of the first step (analysis) the update stop because "my phone has no update" WTF?????

this has been the worst phone I ever had

Dude search the forums a little, just put recovery back on your phone via nvflash then restore a backup or if u never had any in the first place just throw xboarders 2.3 3 ota rom on your phone and flash it u will attain root and keep the same baseband, it is a pure stock rom from the update go to development its the only way to get root and a pretty easy way, I just wanted the baseband so I flashed the ota then wiped data and threw cm on my phone well I had abackup, I restored it and bamm I had cm and new baseband;) anyways for the peeps that don't know u have to be stock recovery and doesn't matter if ur rooted to get the update i was rooted

Man either you guys are a bunch of cry babys or I got really really lucky with my g2x. In the 3 months Ive had it, its rebooted itself once, never slowed down on me, rarely even gets reset or turned off, and its been pretty much the perfect phone. I'm still running it as it came from the factory, minus rooting it and its performed flawlessly. I have a HTC Evo 3d also, and the g2x blows the 3d out of the water.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] JonEk@t:
What a ****ing joke. I've held off all this time on installing a custom rom for nothing. I checked if I could download the ota this morning and was pleased to find it available. The download finished in about 20 minutes and I got the verifying software package notification. Then nothing. The notification hung there for over an hour until I finally powered off, did a battery pull and restarted. Now when I check it tells me I'm up to date, which I'm not. Now I have no way to apply the update. Looks like I'm flashing today anyway. :/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I've seen some posts that behavior in the OTA ROM vs LG ROM is different...i.e. I flashed the LG ROM and my keyboard wouldn't add a period when I double tapped space but it supposedly did on OTA ROM.

When I get my replacement I'm going to try the phone based update but if not I'm definitely flashing the rooted OTA ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
How sis you get the update? Did you have it check for updates, or did you get a test message. In either case, was it OTA from TMo?

I have a disaster with LG Updater, and do not want to go anywhere near it again.

Also, w.Were you rooted or not?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Was looking for an option that said "decent... but will never buy a phone from LG again" but it wasn't there.

In lieu of that, I chose "amazing but...never buy another LG smartphone". New baseband seems to have improved (placebo?) but both LG's and T-Mobile's attitudes about this ordeal were less than favorable.

CM7 is stable enough for me so far so I'm good.

<edit>

Though maybe I should have chosen "horrible" since the OFFICIAL update soft-bricked a whole bunch of phones, mine included.

Well I have a replacement for the G2X that the LG Upgrader bricked.

It is running stock right now, but when I check for updates, it insists my 2.2.2 stock is still the latest available. The ROM sounds very unimpressive, but I am hoping the new baseband improves overall connectivity (and makes the AT&T data bands available - remember that TMo BS - that should have been a class action?).

If I ever get it, will nandroid it for when they come out with 2.4 (in my dreams) and reload CM7. Hoping 2.3.5 fixes some of the bugs still floating around on 2.3.4.

I believe that is the tool used to check and download software upgrades. Phone is running ok otherwise but still on 2.2... Any ideas??

Wow after reading all the fiasco that has been going on with this update I think ill stick with being rooted with faux123's rom. I was debating to load the stock kernal but since I'm running 2.3.4 ill stick with it. If any of y'all are questioning whether to root or stay stock I'd advise you root. The developers here have fixed the screen bleed by adjusting the dpi, over heating issues fixed, random reboots fixed. Just root and leave the crappy written LG stuff behind!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] randyschwimmer7:
I was rooted, and while the phone was sitting on my desk here at work, I just got a message across the screen that said there was an update for my phone from T-mobile. I clicked on the update, and it took about 10 mins. i didn't touch my phone or anything. I made sure to just let it do it's thing. Then it took a while after it started back up, and then it was good to go. All the aps and everything were exactly the same, just some new looks with the main tool bar on top.

I also don't mind the camera that everyone is complaining about. Don't know what the big difference is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ingjald:
You found us out. Clearly, we all come here to complain about problems with the phone when secretly we actually love it and have no problems with it at all.

It was just a big conspiracy to make the G2x look bad, despite the fact that we all own and use one, because we don't want anyone else to know the joy that is ownership of a G2x, and because we want to make the developers run around in circles trying to fix problems that aren't really there. Furthermore, we clearly want to make millions of dollars by getting a refund or replacement for our obviously perfect and defect-free phones. Yep, that must be it...:rolleyes:

Hey all, last night just before going to bed I checked for the update and it FINALLY said yes there was an update for Gingerbread, but as it was really late I decided to do the deed this morning. Now when I check for the update it says what it's always said "Current version is the latest version" Do you think that it'll come back again? I'd really like the OTA instead of the LG update.

OTA never came had to do manual update. Now it looks like we need to find the new bugs to fix with another update. 2.3.4? The camera app does suck, i agree now with the others. When i click the settings menu and scroll it gets jumpy. Why aren't the icons at the top turning green? It always looks like my google account is not synced now. That's dumb. I'm only going to buy Nexus branded phones from now on. Nexus 3 can't come soon enough.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
I'm pretty sure that this feature just simply isn't included in the OTA update. It still syncs with google servers just fine, the icons just don't turn green. There may be a post here about changing the icons, if so I'll edit this post with it.

EDIT: There's a "ROM" that is based on the OTA update with a few tweaks (root, working icons that change from white to green, etc.) and you can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
