Hi all,

Another happy Optimus 2x user here :) Currently running latest CM 7.2 nightly the link to which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362451

Getting awesome battery life and no sleep of death for a while now. As for the SD card problem shreshth is having, I would suggest trying to reformat the card making sure that you have a primary FAT 32 partition on it (and an ext3 or ext4 if you prefer). EASEUS Partition Tool is pretty handy to use. If the card is properly formatted, the phone should recognize it without any problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
the sdcard issue is not an issue. Cm 7 and roms based on it will mount internal sd to /mnt/emmc and the external to /sdcard. Like I said before, there is an option in cm to switch them like stock has it.

GPS in Tsugi

How does your GPS perform? I had issues on the latest Tsugi release with GPS in browser and 3rd pafrty apps. It was working fine in Maps and Navigations though. Switched to jboxer's P999 colorized from P990 for that reason, but now I am stuck with an upside-down FFC :S

Hey guys, I might be hopping over to the $29 monthly WIND Mobile plan pretty soon, so I'm looking at the handsets they have and I pretty much narrowed it down to the G2X and the Nexus S. I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 which is really similar to the Nexus S in terms of hardware, so I'm hoping that you folks could shed some light on some of the questions I have about WIND and the G2X :)

1. How's the reception with WIND Mobile? I live in Scarborough but I'm around Markham, downtown Toronto, North York, Richmond Hill, and Aurora quite often.

2. How are the custom ROMS for the G2X? I love being able to flash custom ROMS like MIUI and CM7, so I'm wondering if there are custom ROMS out there for the G2X that provides full functionality (ie. smooth video recording, etc)?

3. On my GT-I9000, 512 MB of RAM on 2.3.x Gingerbread seems to hinder the home screen smoothness and performance unless tweaks (scripts, LMK kernels, etc) are applied and even then, it's not always 100% smooth. Does the G2X suffer from the same issue?

4. Some of most impressive specs on paper for the G2X are the camera and the dual core processor, do they live up to the initial hype?

5. If anyone's has/had a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (and used the custom ROM or stock ROM with lag fix), how does the G2X compare with the SGS?

I'd appreciate any advice/input from owners of the G2X, thanks!

LG Optimus 2x on Wind is stuck

Help!

I rooted my phone with Gingerbreak. I downloaded ROM manager from market and backed-up the original ROM on my SD card. I installed ClockWorkMod Recovery.

I downloaded zip files of CM7 197 (cm_p999_full-197) and Google Apps (gapps-gb-20110828-signed) to my SD card.

From ClockWorkMod, I did a data wipe and then advanced Dalvik cache wipe. I selected the zip files and attempted to reboot.

All I got was the LG symbol with blue, slightly different from the normal LG screen. Power and volume down gives me "Android system recovery <3e> utility. Up and down buttons work but I cannot select any of the options: reboot, apply sdcard, wipedata/factoryreset, wipe cach partition. It appears to be Formatting Data, cache and misc.

And then nothing.

I need step by step instructions to get out of this and to install CM7 - and I mean step-by-step, please!!!

From what I have read, I may not have installed ClockWorkMod Recovery properly as I did it from ROM Manager - how can I fix.

I'm also on Vista which may be another kettle of fish...

Please help!

A hundred thousand thank yous.

Don't use rom manager, for anything, EXCEPT renaming your nandroid backups.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] radu242:
Hey has anyone had problems with HDMI cables frying your WIND store-bought phones? After researching the issue it's been mostly determined that the issue is with the faulty phone, not the cable. Although many people report problems with monoprice cables it's likely because so many people use monoprice cables. My cable arrived and I tested the fit (without plugging it into a TV) and it doesn't seem loose as people describe.

My phone was originally bought in August 20, 2011 (I bought it second-hand off Kijiji). Could the earlier batches be more faulty? Did LG give WIND a different batch of phones than T-mobile? Has anyone had their phone fried by connecting it to HDMI?

Thanks.

EDIT: I don't want to just check it because the LG warranty clearly states it is only for the original purchaser of the phone. I have the original receipt, but it (obviously) does not have my name on it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] joey jeremiah:
Hey folks.... First time Android user here. I'm actually coming from an iphone 2g (You read that right). So I have a few questions.

First off, from my understanding the Wind Optimus 2 (p999) is almost the same thing as a g2x? And some people brick their phones because they confuse the p990 with the p999?

What is a baseline?

What is the best way to back up this phone before rooting it? (I am just scared of it bricking).

What is the best way to root this phone? What is the best way to unroot this phone?

How can I avoid bricking my phone when I am rooting/flashing/updating the kernel? How do I unblock?

Any additional tips/things I should know about? -- I know you should turn off all firewalls and antiviruses cause it messes up with the drivers.

HDMI:

How does this work exactly, can you play ANY movie on your tv or must it be in 720p or 1080p format? What sort of video files can it play? And is it suitable for say, watching any sort of video at a friend's house (Say you downloaded Degrassi Junior High episodes--in AVI-- and wanted to play it on your friend's tv)

Battery Life Questions:

Anyone try out any extended batteries? There is a cheap 3500mah one on ebay for about $20. Yay or nay?

Please note your ROM, kernel and apps such as juice defender.

Idle time: x% per hour (battery life used)

Wi-Fi: x% per hour (battery life used)

3G: x% per hour

Youtube: x% per hour

HDMI-output: x% per hour

Is it possible to underclock without affecting the performance of the phone or damaging it? (The wind dude told me that you can damage the phone if you underclock it and run certain intensive apps). It auto adjusts correct? I want to use the latest kang rom and kernel and there's a way to set it to "auto" without affecting performance right? i.e. CPU is at 300 MHZ when black screen and then it's set to 1000 MHZ when playing an HD movie.

How does SKYPE video calling work on the different ROMs compared to the stock ROM?

Lastly, how does it compare to a Nexus S :)? Specificially the AMOLED screen vs the Gorilla screen. And the phone call quality and volume? Those are two of the complaints I hear most about the Optimus 2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dakunclear:
i don't know i wouldn't underclock but thats me the super amoled is much better screen and its a google supported so it always gets updates which is nice but i like the phone none the less but i'll be buying the new galaxy nexus when wind puts it on sale just for the bigger screen :D not sure about skype but i would imagine it would work fine considering there are other similar apps that work well that are similiar.

go back in the posts i put a big thing on how to root your phone and everything it will help you all the way and if you brick it or get stuck on the lg logo there is instructions there to show you how to use nvflash :D

happy androiding :D

btw doesn't matter the if the video is hd or not it will work but make sure its the right format since the phone only allows certain video formats just look that up using google cause i can't remember off the top of my head

the phone is the g2x it wasn't allowed to be called that cause of tmobile so they just named it the samething as the rest of the worlds optimus 2x so make sure you get the right roms or your screwed

who wants to upgrade your lg optimus 2x

tired of 2.2 or 2.2.2 android? let me know if you haven't figured out how to get to 2.3.4. message me and I will set up a thread if there's enough people or I'll just message you.

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 AM ----------

if you brick your LG optimus 2x or like some who have there phone stuck in a reboot loop you can fix it by taking the battery out to make sure its off. put it back and hold the power button and the volume down, yes the volume down not the up and do this at the same time. so power and volume down for about 15 secs and you should be okay. I was.

Why not cm7? Can you explain the benefit of installing 2.3.4? Also, after flashing new baseband, can i reflash cm7?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
You don't need to update to the new baseband. I haven't and everything works fine. On T-Mo G2X they had the original baseband, so they updated to the better one. On WIND, there isn't much difference between our original and the new one.

As for 2.3.4 leak vs CM7, CM7 has all the tweaks in the CM Settings menu and is based on AOSP. 2.3.4 is stock LG leak based. You can make as many compiled code tweaks you want, but there is no source code available, whereas CM source is available. Yes you can reflash CM7 after updating baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joeyxl:
Hmm, so doing different RIL versions don't matter, as our Basebabd doesn't work with any?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SL:
What he is telling you is the June 5 baseband and the July baseband is very similiar. Makes no difference whether you flash the july baeband to your phone or stick with the June 5 baseband.

I agree with his statement. But if you feel there is a need, go for it.

Looking to Unlock Phone

Hi, I just got my Optimus 2x, bought it online, and was wondering if anyone here could recommend a good online unlocking service or one in the GTA area. I want to be able to use my phone when I go the Caribbean this summer. Please list prices if you can.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
Hi all,

For those of you who are annoyed by how long it takes your phone to switch back to wind home network after losing service, and if you haven't done so already, go to settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> network preferences -> WCDMA only

note that selecting this option will most likely cause your phone to lose service when you're out of the wind coverage area instead of connecting to wind away, which is usually rogers for me, because most other companies use GSM.

Haptic Feedback Tweaks

Does anybody know the haptic feedback vibration levels in WIND's Froyo OS? I have rooted my LG G2X and installed Cyanogenmod 7, and I've been endlessly, as well as hopelessly, trying to discover and match the vibration levels with WIND's.

I really like the " short and quick feeling" when I press on the capacitive buttons on WIND's FROYO OS, compared to Cyanogenmod's laggy, sluggish response when I press on them.

I was able to compare them as my mom and I have the same phones, with her phone not being rooted, and I can seriously say that the overall feeling when pressing the back button or typing on the keyboard is much, much nicer (unless it's just me).

THANKS:)

Messed Up Radio/baseband WIND G2X

Hello EveryOne:

I have been using this G2x as my second Android phone ever, the first one was HTC Aria..But before and for long years was Window Mobile man..LOL;)

I have changed the ROM after rotting and unlocking ,started with CM7 stable then moved on and have tried every ROM on this G2x android development forum.

The problem is, i have noticed after changed the stock ROM, that i can't receive international SMS anymore..:confused:,however i can send and receive delivery report(of course on tweaked Tmobile Stock ROMs only, as any CM7 ROMs or based ROMs having an issue for delivery report).

I have searched a lot here and there, till found one mismatching (incompatibility) between baseband (M660A...Jun 5) and RIL, even getRil software gave 4 options ,none of them matched with my baseband..

Have tried to change the baseband, of course failed..Tried every possible way..whether KDZ way or LG updater..

The only hope left for me, is that some one can give me the correct RIL for such basband:D

Thanks afor your time and have wonderful day..;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] G2XPerson:
Hey meniaway,

Have you checked GetRIL in the past few days? I just ran the app and it recognizes my stock Wind sourced unmodified RIL/ROM as "LG-P999-AWC-V11h". I'm assuming that it's available for download.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
If you can get into recovery then flashing any custom rom from the dev section should also give you root access, but if you don't want a custom rom and just wanna get back to the wind stock, then i think someone posted a nandroid backup of the stock wind rom somewhere on the forum, just download and restore that from recovery, check this out

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bladedwings:
Hey everyone, first off I'd like to say that I'm a big fan of this thread since it's helped me learn a thing or two about my phone. However, I'm still a big fat noob when it comes to all this stuff, so pardon my lack of experience.

From advice given on this thread, I've tried both Eaglesblood and MIUI. After deciding to stick with MIUI, I noticed a few issues I had. On the 2.20.10 version released by whitehawkx, I wasn't able to tether via USB or Wi-Fi, so after messing around a lot and failing, I downgraded down to 1.12.16 and that fixed the problem. I was fine until recently I decided to pick a custom ringtone, but it just wouldn't work and whenever I'd get a call, it'd just go to the last stock ringtone I used. So after looking into that online, people either never got a response, fixed the problem by moving the .ogg file into a certain directory, or downgrading back to an earlier version. Since the first didn't help, and the second didn't work, I'm trying the third option. I saw that the author of this thread is using 1.8.19 by jface, so I decided I'd try that one. However I can't find a downloadable ROM for an earlier version anywhere.

I'll keep looking for a solution, and I'll even re-read this thread in case I missed anything. I found several links to MIUI versions, but either the links were broken, or they didn't have anything before 1.9. Still, though, I'll keep looking.

EDIT:

I updated to the latest 2.2.24, which fixed the Tethering issue I had with 2.20.10, and then I read from another thread that setting the ringtone in the themes menu, rather than the settings > sounds menu , fixes the problem. I'm good to go now.

Sorry for delay, was busy midterm exams"Computer Programming":o

Ya i used this application, even it was me who first emailed the developer about this missing RIL, later on thanks to him it was included in the list.

Nothing changed, i think there's something wrong with Android OS itself, as i was using Windows based cellphones before"Like Xperia X1", there was no problem whenever use any custom ROM...

I'm thinking to ask for trade in Kijiji with any other Windows based cellphone may work with WIND...I had bad experience with Android so far .

I just purchased this G2x on last Jan 23,2012...So hope to find as new as mine.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Weapon is based on 2.3.3, works with WIND's baseband, is very stable, good battery life, easy to use, and has recent updates. I've been using it for 5 months without any problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Weapon g2x has awful battery life compared to the cm based roms (Hellfire pheonix, eagles blood) I wouldn't recommend weapon over Hellfire pheonix I would suggest trying other roms though. I ran weapon a long time and constantly had issues with my call quality and hanging up the phone... also I couldn't UV nearly as much as I can using hfp, or turn out good benchmark scores for that matter.... just my opinion though...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
According to your last post you have been running weapon for 5 months.... in the last 5 months I have flashed and tested almost every rom/kernel in the g2x forum... I can honestly say that weapon is neither the most stable or the best for battery life. I was a firm believer in weapon... before I tried something different. Not to mention the cyanogenmod settings which I could never go without now that I have them.

Pin it to Win it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I also tried many other ROMs and kernels but I kept going back to Weapon and I haven't had any problems with it rebooting, etc., except when I overclocked my phone to 1.5 GHz and played Angry Birds which heated up the phone and caused it to crash. I run it at a max of 1.2 GHz and no undervolting although I could undervolt it. I also don't keep it running data or wifi when I don't need to use them and I use a battery management utility and run the display lower than maximum and I use the phone moderately, not continuosly although it is in standby to receive calls and text messages. So far, I am satisfied with Weapon over the others.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bladedwings:
Well you guys have different experiences because you guys are different people with different opinions on what you want. There's no "best" ROM; there's only a ROM that you like better than another.

After doing some more research, I've decided to try out Eaglesblood v2.8 with the trinity ELP kernel for now. I'll probably use it for about a week to see how it runs (battery, crashes, etc.) and then try Weapon afterwards to see how they comapre.

Also unrelated to the current discussion, but has anyone experiencing really slow data rates with WIND? I know it's not a ROM issue, so I'm thinking it has something to do with WIND. I've gotten between 0.15-0.25 Mbps down for several days now. I've looked around but not very many people have had this issue, and people that have didn't really get an answer. So I'm just wondering if anyone here has had experience with this and if it'll get better on its own or if I have to do something before it does.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dakunclear:
ya i don't seem to get that issue but on with what you were saying eaglesblood is good i ran their version of ics but i found hellfire sandwhich more stable i just went back to weapon g2x v3.0 cause i was having issues using wifi tethering just kept cutting out but i'm sure the gb rom of either will be really good :D where do you live cause here in calgary i have no issues with data dl speeds

This is what led me to think it's not a problem with the ROM.

I'm in Waterloo and I've gotten the same crappy data speeds you're experiencing, it's definitely not a ROM issue, my brother's in Toronto as well and he has slow data speeds too.

And what do/did you guys do to fix this? Just wait it out?

Didn't really fix it lol, I mostly use wifi so it's not too big of a deal for me, but if you want you can run zeppelinrox's 3GTurboCharger script and install one of the data speed fixes. You can find the script here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021

I tried this before and can confirm that it enhances data speed, at least for me, but not by much. There are detailed instructions on how to run the script if you don't know, and if you need help I'll be glad to.

I'm pretty sure wind just has weak coverage in our areas, but can't beat their prices that's why I love them.
