[T-Mobile LG G2x] sclui56:
As much as I believe most CA are waste of time & $, I surely hope this one gains some traction for a bit longer, not so much for monetary reasons but companies such as LG & TMO are expected to exercise some corporate responsibility, unfortunately, it sometimes does take a potential hit to the bottom line to wake someone up. I am glad it was done.

Background – Upgraded from G2 on 04.20 at reduced price (not full upgrade price), unit was sluggish, random reboots, shut down to a drained battery while on AC, heat, short battery life). Corporate store exchanged for another unit on 04.27, similar symptoms and reported to store, store wanted to exchange for a 3rd unit (the one I still have now) on 05.05.

Nothing really changed much and was told it might be the battery, so TMO sent me a replacement battery and charged me shipping on 05.28. All this time I was told of a soon-to-be-released patch which would be the be all & end all, though no one officially acknowledged “known issues”.

By 06.15, I could no longer deal with having a handset that cannot even perform its basic functions in a reliable manner, so I ended up getting a Sensation (am still using it without issue) on my dime and hoping one day the G2x will be patched.

When the half-baked G2x GB update was released towards the end of last month, I used the LG tool and did the update. This update process is so last decade IMHO, and did any of you notice the amount of drivers loaded. Upon factory resetting the G2x and wiping the phone+SD memory, I was using the G2x without loading much of any apps. While the unit is performing slightly more stable, shut down and reboot persisted so I simply tossed it aside.

BTW, my daughter loves to switch phones, so she swapped the SIM from a SK4G, factory reset the G2x and tried it for a day. She is now back to the SK4G because the G2x lagged, froze, and shut down on her without much interaction from her. And she was running similar apps she had on the SK4G, an inferior handset in comparison to the G2x, right?

I have seen many G2x users argued that most of these issues could be fixed by using independent ROM’s, or that the users simply loaded too much or incompatible apps which resulted in a choked G2x.

My point is that if the apps and ways I used my Android devices did not cause any significant issue in the past on other units (N1, N2, G2 and now the Sensation), why should it cause problems on the G2x. BTW, my G2x is completely stock. I should not have to flash the unit in order to use it successfully. What if I want to run stock out of the box?

The way TMO & LG are handling this device is truly unbelievable and irresponsible. I suspect the fault of the handset can never be corrected via S/W alone, it might have something to do with the H/W integration and/or design. And if the skills do not exsist internally,do what most companies do - go recruit some talent.

I don't dispute there are behaving units out there, but there is also a large amount of units suffering from wide range of issues, at least a lot more than most recent handsets. Just for kicks, I factory reset my G2x 2 times in succession last night, set the unit up again, not restroing any settings and used a fresh GMail account, the darn thing rebooted on me without me doing anything , the only reason I knew was the bootup animation sound as it was sitting on my desk.

To top it off, TMO continues to give these POS away and the moderator over on LG thought it was such a fnatastic gesture, what are they thinking? This is way beyond denial. The sad part is that I really want this unit to perform, it feels very good in my hand, but I suppose my desire far exceeded LG's.
