Just as we should hold people accountable for sub par posts.

The amount of people wanting to trash companies and sue them is making me sick. It's appears people have no concept of money and where it comes from and how bills are paid. It's all the evil corporations fault. Good grief. If your phone is broken, return it. It's not that hard.

Only a sheep would keep a broken phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I don't get the Sensation users continuing to post in this forum. But it still happens.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I have a Sensation 4G and a LG G2X. In fact, I'm getting a replacement G2X tomorrow.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Well in that case, fire away!:D

but do it from your G2x;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I would but it's reset to factory waiting to ship back to T-Mobile. I'll do it from the replacement G2X as soon as I get it, update it and set it up all over again. I really do like the G2X but I need a phone that works all the time, not when it feels like it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
yeah that's why I sent it back 5 times already, I guess you would just bend over and accept the fact that no matter how many times you return you are going to get a defective device back. So you'd be one of the poor saps that ends up using a 2 year upgrade and $250 to get a G2x then in the end end up with a G2 from back in October.

Concept of money?? really!?? Yeah, I bought my phone with an actual paycheck that I earned. Maybe if my daddy bought me the phone I'd be less upset but I had to actually pay for it myself, maybe that's why I have such a problem relating to your opinion, that and it just sucks altogether.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
:rolleyes: So you could not get six different phones to work the way you want? Hmm...

Did you ever take a minute to think this may not be the right phone for you? Just saying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Seriously?

Guess what, after he decides this might not be the right phone for him he will still be stuck here trying to make it work. They wont let him return it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Seriously. Very Seriously. Six phones? Really? Six Phones?

First off, I would not ordered three through six. There are other comparable phones available. If I buy a product that does not do what I envisioned it would, back it goes. It's not that hard. I have to shake my head and wonder why people would put themselves through such troubles when it is completely unnecessary.

just swap it out for the Sensation and then he could complain on that forum about all it's short comings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Nospin:
Please be civil guys. No need to call names, or personally go after other people.

The gingerbread ota for the original G2 is going out today. HTC specifically mentions "Task bar that turns green when connected to google services". HTC took the time to release a finished product, whereas LG did not. That is all people are angry about. Everyone here has a point, and they are all equally valid. So stop.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
First off, I didn't "order" three through six. I worked within the warranty options that TMO and LG gave me. They don't want to switch a G2x out with the newer Sensation, they want to give you a G2. Sorry, but that is unacceptable to me. Not that I'd want a Sensation, I bought a Vanilla Android phone for a reason. It's settlers like you who tell LG it's okay to **** over there customers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I had intended to abandon this thread because it is pointless, but you insisted on spouting off.

I have not "settled" for anything. I am able to make the phone work the way I need. I am sorry you are not. Android as a whole is crappy software. Google is a crappy company, but my wife wanted an android phone and I wanted a new toy. I was aware there would be challenges and a learning curve. I knew this when I made my buying decision.

I would suggest contacting Tmo again, but first work a little a your negotiation skills. You have been unable to get six different phones to work and have been unable to work with Tmo for a successful resolution. I think I see where the problem is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Frank29:
I can't believe there are some of you trying to censor different opinions.

“Friendship that insists on agreement on all matters is not worth the name. Friendship to be real must ever sustain the weight of honest differences, however sharp they be.”
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
If you think google and android are crappy. You should abandon this thread, this section altogether. "spouting off"?! really? Are you a grandfather that can't find the prep H this morning?

My negotiation skills got me my upgrade back. I'll use that at a later date to get a new phone. Still doesn't change the fact I paid for a phone that is defective and still want it to be made right. Corporations hope for fools that will just move on to a different phone with no concern for things being made right. They bank on it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
LOL. Down with the corporations! Socialism for all! Kids are funny.

Not a grandpa yet. My oldest is only 15. That damn well better be far into the future.:D

At least you got your upgrade back. I hope someone makes a phone in the future that will meet your needs. peace bro. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
+1 on that! Good quote.

The common refrain "Why don't you just move on?" bugs me about as much as "Just flash a new rom" does. I've said it a thousand times...I chose this phone (and T Mobile for that matter) based on it's great capabilities. I get scolded constantly by the people who have good ones. All anyone that is complaining wants is a working phone. They know they're out there, you guys tell them constantly LOL.

I keep my Sensation as a spare, but I don't "like" it. I'm sure I would if it was all there was, but I did not choose it. It is trouble free. But I signed a contract with Tmo that I have to pay to get out of. I promise...I can afford that. But I don't waste money like that if I can help it, you know? Most people however can't afford the crazy price it costs to get out of their contract even if they wanted to. So what does that leave for a choice if Tmo won't "give" them another? Selling your phone and either buying another different used one or paying full price for an off contract different one. What's that? $300-600 if you want to stay in a "smarty" phone. So most people can't just "walk" away or "move on" from their G2X.

Some people me included can't just flash a rom on their devices like the majority here.

Myself, I would freak and likely meltdown (literally ha ha!) trying to figure out any problems that could happen. I envy those of you who find this easy.

I've rooted and unrooted each and every one of the five I've had. But I probably read those directions 1000 times. And watched the videos dozens of times. I'm not kidding here. I have the brain cells needed, but I have to really think hard about it and read read read.

I must have read how to do the initial backup needed to flash twenty times...guys I'm intimidated by the process. Scared ****less really. And I'm smart. Plus technically it does void your warranty, (I know....rooting does too)

which IS an issue for some.

My long winded points? Some can't just move on and some can't just flash a rom.

And let's all just do a Rodney King.......Why can't we all get just get along?

Edit And for me right now it's all moot. My fifth refurb has been perfect. I am still mad at LGs ongoing lack of communication, but I have a good phone. I just mostly like to hear myself type. Voice of reason? LOL
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
Actually Libertarian, where your ideals seem to lead more towards fascism. "Trust and follow the corporate interests, soon the crony-capitalistic nature of our society will make them the true rulers and you will have a headstart at being the most complacent sheep you possibly can." Not down with corporations, up with corporate responsibility. The free market can do anything if the individual guides it in the right direction and accepting sub par products is the opposite of that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I think you are confused about the definition of fascism.

So at this point after all that has happened, what exactly would you like LG, Tmo and Google to do? The vast majority of people have no issue with the G2x. How would you respond to a bunch of people that modified their phone, violated their warranty and messed it up? I have no interest in fighting with anyone. I am curious how you would deal with the issues if you were in charge.

I fully understand the crony-capitalistic nature of our society. I saw the other day that wealth of our elected leaders increased 3000% while in office. I am considering running for something!:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
be responsible consumers, inform other consumers to avoid the device, sales fall, LG sees the one thing they pay the most attention to, revenue, fall and they act accordingly to stop the bleeding. consumer protection routes like the class action lawsuit that's been filed will add to that pressure. What you DON'T do, is tell the only form of regulation in a free market, the consumer, to be silent and not complain about it.

and fascism as in a totalitarian rulership brought on by the state and corporations colluding together to control policy and the people. For example Goldmann Sachs and others destroying the world economy then taking jobs at the white house while no one goes to jail while paving the way for the next great bailout.

Hey all,

Anybody having issues with JD not syncing gmail apps correctly? It seemed to work for a little while and then...kerplop.

I've been toying around with it for the past couple weeks using default settings, custom settings, etc. on both me and my wife's Continuums. They are both rooted and using Adrynaline's ROM.

I've uninstalled, deleted settings backup, reinstalled on both phones...rebooted...all the normal stuff.

Occasionally it works but usually not. I've shortened the schedules and widened the sync time window. No dice.

Anybody had similar issues?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] altwizard:
Hey,

Like many of you , I was forced to send my docking station back to asus for replcement becaue it never charged .

I got it back after 4 days - They told me they did not replace it , instead they switched it on . They told me there is an internal switch in the dock that was off , preventing the dock from charging.

I was careless enough to mis place the service reciept that mentioned "Dock switched off" ...

Anyhow - has anyone else heard of this "internal switch" ???

background - i bought my dock and transformer togther, the dock failed to charge even once - when i instlled a dual battery widget - it told me the dock was on 14% percent charge and draining , all the time... and the red light kept blinking once it reached below 14%.

It was steady red when i plugged it in for charge, however it never charged.

I sent it to asus where there were several ppl with similiar issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
Yeah, there is an internal switch inside the keyboard that turns it off and on. It's on the edge of one of the circuit boards. I saw a picture of it in a thread, but can't find the thread now. Which is a shame, because I've been looking for that thread for about a week now. If I find it I will also let you know.

I also had a dock that wouldn't charge, and just RMAed it a week ago. I had completely forgotten about the switch.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mwbarb:
I also had a dock (B40 version) that stopped charging so I RMA'd it to the Grapevine, Texas location. It has been almost two weeks since I sent it in and the repair status currently shows:

Waiting-[WB7] Wait for Technical Support From ASUS

It has been like that for almost a week now so I'm hoping that I'll receive a new unit or get an update soon. This is truly disappointing that we have to deal with such flaws like this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tera Tike:
Bob Smith42 did alot of modding on the keyboard and fount the internal switch.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OSNPA:
I have been collecting some great qHD-formatted wallpapers from around the net. They are 1080x960 resolution. If I open them in the gallery app, it will only let me select a small portion of the picture to display. Is there a way to embed these images such that they show up in the Wallpapers section and I can view the entire image as a wallpaper?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjmoreno:
This is how I do it.

Long press on the home screen, select Wallpaper, select Gallery, select the picture you want to use, long press on the picture (a edit square will popup), stretch the box so the entire picture fits inside it. Save the picture as wallpaper and you're done.

I had exactly the same (Dropad A8X) - and many with us as I read on the DX forum and other places ... however, I managed to flash new firmware ...

Here is the description:

Great thanks to Adam and especially Rebellos for his fantastic hack.

Please read my story completely as I was just to impatient and messed it up after all (if any one can be of any assistance as how to go further :).

However, the method lets you flash new firmware using Odin or Adam's One-Click tool.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BoiRomeo:
Well im planning on getting the phone as soon as it drops this Wednesday, however i couldnt help to notice how the phone is build with a HTC Sense Expresso 3.0 build, which honestly sucks. coming to think about it...

-no customization of lock screen

-no 4 icon shortcut at lock screen

-boring black and white customization screen

-only 5 home screens

-no HTC Hub with extra themes download capabilities...

those are the big things i kinda noticed with this HTC Sense build. even though its 3.0 and what not, it doesnt offer that much customization as the HTC Sensation 4G..

it should have the regular HTC Sense 3.0 stock built, no skinned 3.0..

anyone think the same way? share your thoughts :)

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Akujin:
Who had the bright idea to make it impossible to remove contact suggestions in sense without root.

Also T-Mobile contact sync ignores you when you click the checkbox off to not sync so T-Mobile is basically stealing all your contact information without asking you.

I feel like I have a rocket engine in my pocket running a pretty ****ty stock build.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BoiRomeo:
thanks to everyone who has replied to the thread, greatly appreciate it,

anyways

-they call the expresso build phones "stalkers" down where i live because wheather yu ask it to or not, it will sync facebook contacts and all their info into yur phone..

-and UNCLESPOON are yu implying that they will like release an update of some sort?

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CJ_:
I think he's talking about S-OFF.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Yeah I'm just referring to the fact that the devs here on XDA are awesome and with S-OFF coming we'll be able to overclock and run a fuller version of Sense 3.0 and I'm not worried about it at all!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BoiRomeo:
oh yes! the guys down here at XDA are truly incredible when it comes to all that good stuff and yeah ima wait for them to come out with something like that, i wish i could help somehow though....

either way, thanks guys!

-has anyone with the MT4G Slide have any reasons to why keep the HTC Expresso Ui build?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BoiRomeo:
oh guys i have read and seen that devices that are retail (which i guess means bought at the store and what not) are all S-ON

theres no S-OFF for retail devices, i think HTC lied -_-

so without that...theres no custom ROMS? :((
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
Someone will S-OFF this bad boy like they did with the G2, give it a week.

We'll either have a way to flash it with the S-off bootloader or we'll have a ENG S-OFF bootloader, or something like g-free
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CJ_:
And HTC will unlock the bootloader with an update in August or September anyway.. probably around the same time as the Sensation.

[Galaxy S II General] Gilgehmesh:
BGR has a new post that has photos of what they believe to be the AT&T version of Galaxy S II with a slide out keyboard. It also includes a couple of benchmarks; Linkpack and Quadrant. I can't believe that AT&T would do this... looks like I'm not getting the AT&T version...

oh my GOD thats ugly!! good thing i live in the UK, no carriers changing my device :P
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
Looks really ugly, it will just add to phone's thickness.. and even the camera looks weird in those photos!
[Galaxy S II General] Gilgehmesh:
Electricpig notes that the Linpack benchmark is about 18.6% higher than an unlocked Galaxy S II (58.544 MFLOPS vs 47.606 MFLOPS)... leading them to suspect that they bumped the CPU from 1.2 to 1.4. However, Quadrant doesn't seem to show much improvement (3056) but then again, Quadrant isn't the most consistent benchmark.

is it just me or does the phone seem smaller than a international gs2 across the front of the screen? did they drop it down to 4"?

If Sprint also drastically changes the design then they have lost my purchase.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's another pic...
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Corporate users love keyboards. They are also a prime target for LTE. Going this route kind of makes sense if this is their first LTE phone launched. I'm glad I got the unbasterdized version. Remember, the Z/R got FCC approval on AT&T's bands too. Maybe they'll carry that one also as their more consumer oriented version.
[Galaxy S II General] spanishfry:
i'm not convinced this is att's official (or only) sgs2. the layout is completely different: camera placement, bottom physical button for instance.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Does this...

Or this...

Look like this...

SGH-i897 is the model number for AT&T's SGS1 so the model number for whatever phone's in the first post uses the same naming convention. Last round, Sprint got the keyboard. This time it looks like it'll go to AT&T.
[Galaxy S II General] spanishfry:
damn, you're right. our only hope is this is not AT&T's version.
[Galaxy S II General] diomed:
My biggest concern is that AT&T will screw with it so much that we'll need special developers for it. I think I would lose my mind if I went to flash a super duper kernel and it blew up in my hands.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Thank goodness I got the unmolested version of this device. Leave it to US carriers to take something amazing then ruin it.
[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
The horror.. The horror...
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Even if they left the majority of the phone as-is, you'll never be able to flash international ROMs due to the different radio(s). I'm sure devs working on it will be able to re-use a lot of what's already been developed but the phone will be too different to share s/w with other versions.
[Galaxy S II General] L Eric:
I just got really dissapointed really quickly. Im fine with having four buttons but the slide out keyboard is almost the point of being useless
[Galaxy S II General] jlt220:
that is entirely untrue...

The captivate for ATT can use international sgs 1 roms with a kernal that rotates the screen correctly the only difference is that the FM radio didn't work on the captivate as there was no FM radio.

ATT world phones use the same international frequencies as international phones. i currently have an internationall sgs2 and am using it with att with 4g.
[Galaxy S II General] kirdroid:
keyboard not for me.... Good that I got the international sgs2 :)

Also the Samsung galaxy R kinda looks nice and solid, even though lower specs and slightly thicker.
[Galaxy S II General] sentinel79:
I'm not sure how I feel about this. Its like they didn't want to release a phone thinner than the iPhone and maybe this even dissolves them of being liable and possibly being sued for selling it as-is. I'm not trying to be a fandroid or anything but I can't help think the ongoing legal battles between samsung and Apple somehow effected the outcome ... disenchanted ... but still optimistic ... would be nice to get new dimensions and weight of this bastardizes phone.
[Galaxy S II General] rockky:
Big plus is that it's alegedly equipped to access Att LTE.

This data connection really has me teetering on selling it.
[Galaxy S II General] RMXO:
I had buyers remorse when I first paid nearly $700 from Expansys USA but that went away after a few days of using the phone. After looking at that picture & it ends up being true, I'm really really really, yes, really glad I got the unmolested international model.
