I got mine in May and had to endure some random reboots and battery pulls (about 2-3 times a week), but rooted and later installed CM7 RC1. Problems solved, but after I installed my apps it slowed down over time. Went back to stock everything, used LG updater, bricked it, but followed the unbrick guide with success and got GB (did all that just for the baseband). Flashed rooted OTA with some mods, and so far, I'm really happy with the device.

i'm using eb 2.3.5 and have had great success. the htc sens. only "looks" better but after i added eb 2.3.5 and added go launcher, i can customize my phone look to however i see fit which is great for me!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nraudigy2:
I have an almost perfect G2X with screen bleed that is very hard to see unless completely dark. It's great for games and voodoo sound, other than that, Galaxy S2 has this beat at everything else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g0dsgreen:
I've been happy since the gbread update. Phone stopped randomly rebooting and no more battery pulls.

Great phone. No complaints whatsoever. Feel bad for those that had issues with theirs cuz its a beast of a phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] osugsxr:
Im tempted to jump back to the g2x from the sensation. Have an offer of g2x plus $140 for the sensation. Like the sensation but prefer the stock android look/feel. Would most likely jump over to iphone (if its released on tmobile) and buy it outright to unlock it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
I love my G2X! Had a long road here, but this phone rocks! Mine is problem free and does everything I ask of it. I did not like the Sensation near as much.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] michaelstigers:
Well, I've had a long battled toad with T-Mobile and Google / but through all my Android phones (mt3g, mt4g, sg, n1) my g2x has been the most stable (after exchanging it for one that didn't have the bad battery and MB that overheated)

I'm a Cyanogen junkie, but currently on eb 1.08 / time for a slight change

Anyways just back from the eb install have lots to update

Bbl!

Just got this phone yesterday :) After reading all the horror stories on this forum i was kinda hesitant, but my phone seems to have none of the mentioned problems. Loving this phone!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] khaos12:
I completely love mine. Between Eaglesblood and Weapon, its great.

It has no more issues than most smartphones nowadays do
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sei911:
Got my phone a week ago and flashed a debloated OTA 2.3.3. Battery life is suck for first 2 days (probably used too much) but after a couple days of use and recharge it is great. Battery life is about 60-70% after 12 hrs with little surfing/market/email/SMS. About 2-3%/hr this phone is consuming during standby only. No reboot, it's running solid and stable for me so far. GPS/Location app/gadget/service kill the battery fast, turn it off/uninstall if you have battery problem. Overall I have no regret on my purchase at all. <3
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cwsmall:
It's been a good phone for me. No issues like others have had. Only issue I have is that development seems kinda slow and not many devs seem to be developing for g2x. I think these roms are not perfect, so I thought maybe things would progress a little faster. I do like and thank the devs that are here. I guess I'm spoiled from my hd2. I just recently went back to it. Just to see how development was with it. Its still going strong. What a beast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eXoNeraTeD:
I loved mine until I fell victim to the CM7 Vanishing APN issue! It only happened after a reboot. Sucks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jolo86:
Love my G2x! Had CM7 loaded on it, just reloaded stock GB rom for AD2P. Picked mine up for $99 in May. Best phone I've had in a long time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Legendus:
I love my phone too. I just wish I could root it. It sucks that no one has answered my questions. =/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mister Hat:
Maybe you should goto the Q&A section and find the answer from the many questions like yours, because I know what your question is. HOW DO I ROOT MY G2X ON GINGERBREAD?

I love my g2x I just wanna be able to root it and i can't. No one will answer my my question...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] se1zure31:
I had mine pre-ordered a few days before it came out. I got it for the $200 new contract price because my wife had a sidekick and they were killing the sidekick data/servers so we got a nice hook up on that. The only worry about the phone I have is when Ice Cream Sandwhich comes out. Other than that I think this is the best phone out there (I don't like huge phones, 4" is the perfect size").
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
There are some pretty prolific posters that trash the G2x in every way they can, daily, repeatedly daily. (Hi jrwingate and Vapor311 + just a few). Forced to use the G2x at gunpoint, and while there phone may work now, the sky is falling on others, and will fall on again everyone soon....the end is near. I own a G2x but it sucks, what, yes mine works, but let me tell you......

Others that had problems either, wait for it, wait for it, fixed them, or just moved on.

You have android forums duplicating each other an then sites like TMOnews which read the boards, and post "original news" on the concerns, with the standard...T-Mobile has yet to respond. Those "stories" are then brought back an posted here, rinse and repeat, and echo.

After the 2.3 update and driver fixes, the G2x is the easiest phone for LG to put 2.4 and 2.5 on. Very little effort to put it out, trivial for LG to keep on supporting the world's first dual core. You have to believe FUD if you think LG is such a corporate wanker, that they will not let their engineers grind out some updates.

Worse case they pay some XDA developers a 100K to do a complete port of 2.4 and 2.5 over. How hard would that be?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Nobody's G2x works correctly. This can easily be established as indisputable fact. Every example in circulation has parts and features that don't work correctly or at all because the manufacturer failed to provide functioning firmware.

There are some owners who are easier to please than others, but no one is in possession of a G2x that is 100% functional.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Going to have to politely disagree on this point. Mine is fully functional. There isn't one feature that the phone is designed with that doesn't work. There are a couple 3rd party software applications whose developers don't support the G2X, but as for the phone itself mine works. Every part of it. I'm currently running a stock-based Froyo rom (Ultimate G2X 1.0) and with it my phone is 100% functional.

I am curious as to how you figure your claim is an indisputable fact, if you don't mind me asking. Its a very far-reaching claim you make to say that it is fact.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
Yes sir, as always I appreciate the decorum with which you disagree.

One only has to glance over the specifications and feature list briefly before encountering something that is listed as present but instead is missing or not functional on the LG G2x. I am not speaking of 3rd party applications, but instead basic phone functionality as well as 1st party (LG's) software applications. I do not intend to detail them again here and now, but I am confident that you are already familiar with at least some of my concerns.

I'd like to give this a rest if I could, but instead I will continue to provide a needed counterpoint to what I believe is an obvious agenda put forth by certain XDA members. Even if other more innocuous members are simply rationalizing their way to complete satisfaction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalization_(making_excuses)

I also intend to pursue this legal process to its conclusion, either individually or as a class, so we can all rest assured we will have some sort of closure eventually.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jose makalolot:
Not again. How about making a thread again that says how you hate the g2x?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] seangprice:
I'm not rationalizing or justifying my desire and fondness of this phone but I have yet to find a function that does not operate as designed or advertised. I know there was a misprint about the GSM compatibility with other radio bands but that is hardly an issue for me. While I was with AT&T I used an HTC Aria, loved this little phone and had no issues. I spent a good part of a year flashing all sorts of ROMs and kernels just like with this phone and I have found the G2x to be very stable and enjoyable.

If you dislike or hate your G2x, fine, but your disdain and dissatisfaction will not change my outlook on my purchase or MY satisfaction with this phone and frankly I don't care.

Good Day
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Like I said mine is fully functional so you're claim is invalid. I have no hidden agenda in telling you this. Its not intended, nor was it ever intended, as an argument. Just sharing the fact that my experience is different than yours. I suppose that fact makes my statement contradictory to yours, but not argumentative. So thats my experience. Take it or leave it. If you think I'm rationalizing well then I suppose its pointless for me to counter your claim any further as you're convinced that you're right and I'm clueless.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jkusmc:
My wife and I both love our phones. Aside from the lock screen glitch, our phones have given us no other problems what so ever.

These phones are pretty easy to trade off or sell, so I don't see why people devote their lives to coming on this forum and posting how much they hate their G2x. If it doesn't work for you, get rid of it and stfu. It sucks that LG seems to ignore the bleed problem etc etc, but I promise you that if they do/do not fix it, your constant *****ing on XDA developers will have no part in their decision.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chuck24:
Absolutely love this phone. Coming from a vibrant I have a lot to thank for this one. Currently running Hawx 2.4 with blue glass theme and also faux kernel... this phone is badass. The only this I hate is the minor screen bleed. But hey.... nothing is perfect right??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Spyvie you have lost it. AKA So now every G2x is undisputedly not working?? GMAFB

Come on bashful (double entendre...get it???) please do share what is broken on every G2x phone, that you want to purse as part of a class.

So damaged are you, can not just change phone models? Hmmmm
[T-Mobile LG G2x] adampdx:
I love my G2X. I'm coming from a Sambung, yuck. The Vibrant was a p-o-s for sure. I like the feel of the phone, the speed, the HDMI is way cooler than I ever expected, and the internet is so fast. I think my favorite part is the video chat, even though I don't use it much. For a long time I wanted to get the Hercules when it came out, but after my experience with the Vibrick, I don't think that's going to be happening. I have a feeling that I'll be jumping ship when this merger goes through, and I do believe it will be going through. Big Blue is too big to let Tmo squeak away because of some pesky government interference.

The one thing I will say about this phone...I should have known better than to buy another product with an Nvidia processor. I had the Viewsonic Gtab and liked that, but all of the controversy over Nvidia not releasing source and drivers was enough to drive me bonkers. Now the same thing is happening here. *sigh* Maybe when Google starts making the new series of Motorola phones, I'll go that direction. Can you imagine? A whole series of Nexus phones? Yes.

Unconditional Love- My New G2X

The G2X is the Bomb, baby! I've had mine for a month, and it's absolutely flawless. For me, it's the best Android handset I've seen.

It has an elegant, classy design and has awesome horsepower under the hood. It's perfect for work, and for play. The Tegra 2, is indeed, a Beast!

Before buying, I read all of the reviews for the G2X and as well as other newer Android handsets. I'm a T-Mobile customer by choice, and did not consider other carriers handsets, though I did read those reviews too. Spare me your merger predictions, I've heard em.

I've had phones with HTC's Sense, and Samsung's Touchwiz. I hated both of them. I wanted a Android phone, and not one slowed down by HTC or Samsung's gimmicky marketing front ends. Been there, done that. No more Android training wheels for me.

I'm aware that the G2X had problems with it's initial software release or perhaps it's initial manufacturing run. I absolutely believe those who have or have had issues with the phone. Unfortunately, that hardly makes the G2X unique in the world of Smart Phones.

I'll say it again. Every function on my G2X works perfectly, as advertised. It has never rebooted. It has never ran warm, and there is no other Android phone on the market that I would rather have.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
For someone who has only had this phone for a week, could u tell me what exactly happenned with nvidia and the drivers? They just flat out refuse to release the source and never will? Or we are just still waiting? I hear you on the vibrick. I don't think they ever produced one working gps in all the millions of phones they made.

If its on 2.3.3 you dont need to root search the forum about setting up cw nvflashrecovery. It gives you step by step instructions on how to do it. jusl DL. Most roms are prerooted like triggers rom place it on your phone prior to doing the recovery. Once your recovery is done acsess it and do your normal procedure make a backup and follow the roms inst. on flashing

It could definitely be worse, but yes this is on the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to development. Ohhh what i would do to go back to the fun of getting my first android! So much excitement and learning!:p I thought the Galaxy S 4G had the lowest level of development on xda for a high end phone, but i think we have beaten them by losing so many dev's in the last few months.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
Got my G2x three weeks ago..and so far im loving it! I've been playing around with different ROMs and kernels for about a week now..from CM7 with Faux123 to Weapon G2x 2.5 to now EB 2.3.5 V1.9. So far i love the EB out of all them tho, but i think im guna try a few others to see which one fits my needs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Darkseider:
After switching to Dragon G2X kernel v1.1.1 and OTA 2.3.3 I could not be happier. The device is stable, fast and a pleasure to use. Thank you to the devs that make this happen on not only the G2X but all the other devices out there!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] renerize:
I love my g2x haven't had any issues hardware wise, one of the most powerful phones out there right now with lots of rom options to choose from. So far miui & weapon g2x have the least issues with my phone. Actually there is no issues so far with weapon g2x 2.5 only it shows that I always have a new voice message.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] linux_user9:
G2x is smooth like butter, after you "root" it and put a stable rom on it!

I love this mobile

because

the work the developers have put in on it! I had to return my original G2x, which was running Froyo, and I received one with stock Gingerbread. I rooted, then rom'ed it and now, I love it. Currently, using Gb 2.3.3 by Xboarder tweaked v1.2.2.

Here's my post for those of you wanting to root/rom your G2x running stock Gingerbread (warning it's for linux users only)...

Is there a theming tutorial for windows 7. It's only for windows xp and vista.
[Motorola Droid 3] JRowe47:
I've had several annoying things happen since getting the phone, but overall it's been a great experience. Here's some of the things that are bugging me:

If I leave wifi on, bluetooth audio streaming skips for a second or two whenever a new wifi network is detected. Really annoying when I set up in my car.

The camera has a blueish, cooling tint, and nothing in the settings seems to fix it. I'm having to 'shop all my pictures to bring out the colors correctly.

If I take several pictures (more than 3) and then sleep the phone while the camera is still on, then unsleep, it goes bat****. I've had everything from total unresponsiveness, to green checkers, to complete green screen, and consistent repetitive, unending shutter noises.

The "Gorilla Glass" is scratching - I'm getting nicks and dings and tiny scratches from pocket change, whereas my friend's had a droid incredible for over a year and its screen is flawless. I'm thinking this either isn't Gorilla Glass or it's a bad batch. I'm debating returning it because of this, might just get a screen protector.

Bloatware, lack of root. I've been lazy and avoided installing a launcher (bleh, ok, installing adw now :P.) Still, I paid good money for this, I expect a little love in return. Foisting off this crap on me isn't a great way to build brand loyalty.

Battery Life varies dramatically. Some days I'll be out taking hundreds of pictures over 4-5 hours and only use 40% or so - other days, I'll take a few dozen and end up using 90% of the battery in less than 2 hours. Definitely some wonkiness behind the scenes.

I'm not unhappy with the phone, overall - it's responsive and the HD video and camera have both served me well. It's just not all that it should be. Root will solve everything except the Gorilla Glass issue.

Feel free to chip in on other problems - it'd be nice to have a focused discussion to reference things wrong with this phone, once we have root.
[Motorola Droid 3] mikenius:
Gorilla Glass sucks... i have the same... after 2 weeks of keeping it safely in my pocket completly alone... I have scratches... one deep... and few small... the worst is that I can't give it back or exchange it... I live in Poland and bought it from Amazon... ;/

Motorola Sucks... even if I love it! It's my 12 Motorola... maybe the last one??
[Motorola Droid 3] joshwest:
well i may be wrong but i dont think the droid 3 has gorilla glass... if you go to gorilla glass's website they list the phones that come with it and the only Motorola devices that come with it are the Droid x2 and the xoom.

Well i will agree Motorola does suck right now but.... they were just bought out by google so, google will start making Motorola phones. i have a feeling they will only get better now, and actually might be worth buying.

I have to wonder about gorilla glass QC myself, my DINC looked like I had taken sand paper to it after about a month.
[Motorola Droid 3] JRowe47:
Maybe there's some sort of significant variance that has somehow escaped their notice. I've seen a droid incredible dropped on jagged rocks, gouged at with a pocket knife, poked with keys, and nothing happens, but I've treated my d3 like a baby and it's got a bunch of dings. Nothing that affects the usability, or that you can even see without tilting it to the light in the right angle, but it's definitely not living up to the GGlass hype.

The d3 specs show GGlass.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
The screen on my D3 is flawless (no screen protector). I had an Inc before the D3 and didn't have a screen protector on that, either. Nothing could scratch my Inc, and I kept that in the same pocket as my keys. Same with my D3. I've had it for over a month a half now and it is still in perfect condition. Hell, it took getting punched (hard) with an emerald to scratch the glass on my Inc. lol
