[T-Mobile LG G2x] ktmrockstar:
All-

I'm hoping to get some input or advice since this situation has become more frustrating than I can explain. My first G2x unfortunately suffered from the screen bleed and random shutdowns. Since that time I have had 3 replacements (refurbs) sent to me all of which had similar problems. I was told by T-Mobile support that I should wait for Gingerbread and that would fix many of the problems I had experienced. Unfortunately, it didn't. Then, I was told by T-Mobile that I could no longer exchange G2x's but could exchange only for a G2. So, now my options were to keep my G2x that shuts down 5-6x a day or accept a G2 which I was told was comparable (not a big fan of physical keyboards). I went to my local store and they gave me a 'new' G2x that I was assured wouldn't have this problem and on the first day has already rebooted 2x. I really do like this phone but since I use it for work, it's important that I know it's on and working. It doesn't seem fair that's the phone I'm offered since the Sensation seems more comparable to me. Can someone explain to me how they were able to exchange this phone for a Sensation specifically? I'd love a working G2x if someone can help me verify if this is a phone that has had any hard or software improvements from the original release.

Thanks in advance-

Darren
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I wouldn't even bother trying for a Sensation... Just keep calling Customer Support until you get a Rep who will finally exchange you another handset. PATIENCE IS KEY!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
If they wont give you a sensation, then try for a Mytouch 4g slide. Its the only other phone thats comparable to the G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ktmrockstar:
Thanks Guys-

Seriously I really love this phone, so maybe I'll just stay the course until I get one that works well. What I had a hard time believing is T-Mo telling me that I had exceeded my number of exchanges and that I would have to either take a G2 or be stuck with this phone...WTF? Haven't seen this kind of ultimatum.

It sounds like it's best to keep calling until you get the right person...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slowpig38:
i have had 8 g2xs shipped to me, and i have paid the 20 dollar fee not one time. I just call in and say i am calling so i can get another G2X shipped to me. then i say that since i am within the first 30 days of my most recent G2X this one should be shipped free. works like a charm every time.

but after 8 G2Xs, i want a sensation, but i have never got a rep to offer me one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gmanhd2:
Did you try Gingerbread? Works great on my G2X! No random reboots or shutdowns on mine, try it out!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Have you tried walking into a T-Mobile Franchise store? Once you can show them what is going on, the response is much better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jabhome:
First, are you using the OTA update v21f? If yes, great. Next step, wipe the phone, do a factory reset. It really does do wonders for a lot of phones. After a wipe, I would then try operating the phone with OTA update without restoring any 3rd Party applications (at least the random ones - things like twitter, facebook, etc are liklely not causing any headaches). I would continue use the phone in a stripped down form for a good 12-18 hour period and see how it responds. If the phone seems to function properly at that point I would then and only then start to add back applications in the order of most importance. If the reboots return I would uninstall the most recently installed applications.

I know this seems like a bother, but anyone who has gone through the effort of trying four different phones can surely spend a day or two testing the hardware to insure that the phone is the problem and not some random application you are running that is tanking the phone.

Who knows, the factory reset may be all that is needed?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] lozfromcorby:
My market front page, the little circles with a right pointing arrow seems to be missing be all catagories except one, so I can't view app categories properly.

I'll attch a pic so can see what I mean. Anyone else had this problem, perhaps something to do with flashing roms?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] johanove:
I have the same problem, got after I cleared market data. Let me know if you fond a way to get them back!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] mr.nike:
Same here...

I did a factory reset but i still have the same problem
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] redukt:
same to me, kinda strange...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] drae52:
same here, got it after installing starburst rom

Clear all data in the app, then remove your google account, then add your google account back under account/sync.

I had a similiar problem yesterday with Movies not showing and that is how it was fixed.

I´ve tried to solve it few times. But take no effects to me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] Lumenii:
I didn't even notice it until now, but yes, my Market has the same issues. There are only two categories that work for me. I don't remember exactly which ones, but they're both the "top something" (top free, top paid, etc) type categories.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] redukt:
can anyone reproduce that?

thx in advance :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] bbeelzebub:
Hmmm. Odd. I've had it happen twice (I did a reformat in between fixes so it came back), both times the method above fixed it.

The first time just movies was missing, the second it was movies and books. Both times fixed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] cire253:
Same thing happened to me i called googles android market department and they said its a issue that is happening with the market and they are working on getting it fixed :-/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] HybridHB:
The movies section disappeared once i installed starburst. Last night when I went into the market, it asked me to accept the T&C and the movies tab was back. Seems like a server side issue to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] syypher:
Got one from the only thread I could find on screen protectors here on XDA. It was really bad. It did not fit perfectly no matter how many times I tried to do it. No matter how you place it one side will be a little too long (just a tad) so you have to actually manually cut the screen protector making it less attractive and not giving it as rounded edges as one out of a box.

Has anyone gotten a good screen protector for their Transformer yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] AcIdC0R3:
I get all my screen protectors and skinz from Phantom Skinz. The one for the TF is very good and fits just right. Once you place it on there and the bubbles have dissipated there is still a clear protective cap sheet that you pull off. Once you do that you can't even tell that it's there. The glass of the TF is a major fingerprint magnet and with this skin they wipe right off. Also there isn't any orange peel effect with the Phantom Skinz. You also might consider the Chromatics to give it a sleek look to it. I bought the carbon fiber white and it looks siiik.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Ellerbestyle:
I have an SGP and it is awesome.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] chatch15117:
get XOskins. wait a few days to getthe bubbles out.

its a water based application but IMO, better than phantomskins,zaggs, invisible shield

its ALOT thinner @ 2mm, just becareful applying, do not stretch the rubber, and slowly Squeeze all the soapy water out with a light rag. i had mine placed really well, except i got a little piece of hair stuck under the screen. Oh well, it can never ever be perfect
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] carrrnuttt:
This is the one I ordered: http://amzn.to/ormCyH

The one thing I hated about the TF101 is how badly it attracts smudges and how much glare it has. ^ That thing did the trick, plus it makes it easier to glide my finger somehow.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] lacrossev:
I bought an SGP Ultra Fine (matte) and the cut is as great as it is on the other devices i've bought it for (evo and epic)

Might be a little bit on the pricey side compared to some of the other offerings but i much prefer hard dry apply screen protectors over the soft wet apply ones, or even soft dry apply ones
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] aufbau8:
I read on the forums sometimes ago that there was some sort of chemical/cleaner that you could apply on the transformer's screen and it would greatly reduce fingerprints (but the screen would still be glossy). Anyone recall what I'm talking about?

I have been using the Clear Freak screen protector and I am very happy with it. It is the anti reflective cover.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] lacrossev:
Here are some shots of the SGP Ultra Fine (matte) installed on my TF. The fitment is just about perfect with a tiny gap on the right side as i've installed it, could have made it even less noticeable by moving it towards the right a bit more, as it is right now its sitting right up against the left edge.

I tried the skinomi protector but as i am a flicker the grippy surface for a lot of the soft type screen protectors left a lot of streaks from my fingers in addition to making it hard to flick. The texture on this is extremely fine making the surface very smooth. The last shot was my best attempt at illustrating the slight loss of clarity you get with this and any kind of matte screen protector. It is noticeable but over time i got used to it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jadesse:
Where did you get it installed at?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] xun3:
Hi, I've had good success with the great shield anti-glare screen protector. For $13 (with shipping) you get 3 of them.

The matte finish is very fine, and it doesn't distort your colours as much as others that I've used. I had an official Nook Color for my Nook Color (when I had it), and the quality was comparable.

The only issue is that the measurements for the height of this protector are precisely the same as the screen, which makes it impossible to align correctly. If it's not aligned correctly, you'll get bubbles on the edges, or some lift off. I have only one spot, which is where the camera is, however, I have a RooCase that covers it up, so I can't see it flaw.

Other than that, it's a great price and it's very good.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] SilverZero:
I got my TF from somebody used and they had put a Zagg on it. The receipt was still in the box - $30. And he totally screwed it up. Several bubbles (a couple of large ones) and terrible orange peel. I really can't stand the Zagg protectors. Not only do you risk water damage (very small risk if you have common sense, I know - but not all Best Buy installers really have that much care for your device) but they are fairly "sticky" because of the rubbery finish on them. I got a cheap protector for my Evo on Ebay over a year ago and it's still perfect, that's what I'll be shopping for now for my TF.

IMHO, the only use of a protector on Gorilla Glass is for smudge/fingerprint resistance. The high-end protector market is raking in a lot of unnecessary money. Totally just my opinion, of course.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jtrosky:
I just received and installed my SGP UltraFine anti-glare protetor on my Transformer... Very nice. Mild pixelation effection on white screens, but the glare and fingerprints are reduced greatly. Even when the screen does get some marks on it, wiping with a dry cloth cleans it up very easily.

Plus, it allows your finger to slide across the screen better than the naked glass does. Big improvement!

FYI - I originally bought (3) $5.99 anti-glare protectors on Ebay and they were actually too big - the edges wouldn't stick properly. It was a total waste of time and money. The SGP went on perfectly the first time. It was easy to work out any bubbles.... Great product. Granted, not cheap at $25 each, but well worth it in saved frustration with the cheap ones!

I have the sgp anti glare works great finger prints. But it does hurt the picture quality

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jtrosky:
Interesting, I actually think it improves overall picture quaity (with the reduced glare). The only time I notice it is when I'm on a screen with a white background -- even then, it's not too bad and you get used to it pretty quick.

Thanks guys, I need a good anti-glare screen protector. This helps alot!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] narikki:
i just received my martin-fields one, reuseable and washable! will find out how it is, although its probs the more expensive ones..
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jtrosky:
Yeah, they all claim that they are re-usable, but I'd like to see you try! It' virtually impossible to remove and re-apply a screen protector properly...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] narikki:
well i put it on last nite, and.. i stuffed it up and it was soo dusty underneath! hahaha

so i actually pulled it off (took forever by putting tape into the corner then slowly lifting it) then i washed it, let it dry and put it back on like 10 mins later after a serious cleaning session (both on my tablet and using tape to get all the rest of the little dust particles off the underneath the screen protector)

seems good so far!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jtrosky:
I'm impressed! To be honest, I've never even attempted to re-use one becuase I figured it would be impossible to clean...

Good job!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] karmacop:
Has anyone found a place in the UK that sells the SGP or similar decent quality screen protector? Amazon sell some but the reviews are crap. :/
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ddv2005:
How you install SGP w/o bubbles? I think that is impossible for dry installation. Best installation that I found is w w w .youtube . com/watch?v=qjK7cuk1_iM . And it have so many bubbles.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] de_gijbels:
I can only say i really like the asus with the non mirror effect.

It isn't cheap but does the job in the sun and it fits perfectly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] jtrosky:
Agreed 100%! The SGP anit-glare protector makes my Transformer so much better... I NEVER need to clean the screen using a liquid - I just wipe it off with a dry cloth and it comes super clean, super easy. Plus, no glare!!!

Well worth it.

Hi all,

Im rooted and running viper rom, with netarchy.

the bottom lights (home, menu, back, search) never turn off, even when i press the power button and put the phone to sleep. The lights dim but never turn off. I have tried led hack, and screen filter with no luck. I tried going back to my nandroid backup of stock and it still the same. Is this a hardware problem? obviously a battery pull leads to the lights going out but as soon as i reboot its the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

thanks again
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
haven't heard of anybody having this issue and i'm also on netarchy's kernel with stock rom and haven't experienced it.

i think you're on the right path, load up the stock rom and stock kernel, if you still experience the issue, it would appear to be more hardware related and i'd take it back to sprint.

if you don't experience the issue then you know it was probably triggered somewhere along the lines of customization. i'd customize again step by step checking along the way.

if you're technically inclined and feel adventurous, i'm pretty sure the backlight leds can be controlled thru the sysfs space and adb shell.

/sys/class/leds/button-backlight

all the control files are in there and you can experiment echo'n values to see if it turns them on/off and/or controls the brightness ...

best of luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Look in the market for an app called covedesign. It will allow you to turn off the bottom lights. Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pacoppes:
Problem: After pairing the phone, I got randomly connect. Almost always not connected, but off and on, linking and unlinking, managed to connect.:mad:

Solution::)

The problem is the internal application BluetoothPbap.apk which is used to check permissions when transferring contact list from phone to car. For whatever interferes with communication.

The detected when installing the Rom 10.2 DarkyROM Resurrection.

As you can see not install this application and therefore the Bluetooth link to the car I asked for a confirmation of the PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile). And it worked perfectly possible to do all the tests always got a call from the hands-free, which the previous version of ROM 2.3.4 JVQ hung up at the slightest.

Was doing tests add applications to that detected when you install the above confirmation PBAP BluetoothPbap.apk asked to link and from there all errors when calling handsfree.

So I suggest a package in the ROM that ye may have quiteis this application. It's simple:

1 - You have to have the mobile root.

2 - Install the file explorer. Root explorer.

3 - Switch off Bluetooth and reboot.

4 - Launch Root explorer and go to the folder: / system / app.

5 - Click on "Mount R / W" at the top right.

6 - Select the file and move it to BluetoothPbap.apk eg / sdcard (it may erase, but just in case we move it, this way you can undo the change).

7 - If another file BluetoothPbap.odex also move.

8 - We got out and reboot.

Now we can link the mobile to the car and we will not ask for confirmation of PBAP.

Thus this application is not loaded and you will see there is no communication problems.

NOTE: Of course you are sending the list of contacts to the car, but without prompting. Sorry for my English Google.

Thank you all.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgsshedden:
also try a simpler fix: alter contacts on the phone so that the display is "phone numbers only" then when the bluetooth connects it gets just the phone numbers it will use

Yeah.. was at breakfast with a friend and tried to install the new scottrade app so I could sell a stock that was tanking.. wouldn't install cuz outta space.. tried deleting a couple programs and still wasn't enough room. I coulda used the web browser and logged in but that is always a pain.. I've done it a few times in the past .. just really painstaking yet possible. Anyway I waited till I got to work and sold the stock. Bottom line.. if the app woulda installed like it would have on any other phone I would have lost 2,500 less.
