Where did you see that statement from LG saying that wind didn't sell enough phones ...

I need that for a small claims court action against LG and WIND.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
Using CM 7.2 stable right now, and pretty impressed with it! Though I am experiencing the sleep of death issue every now and then, which is annoying when you use your phone as an alarm clock and show up late to work over it. :(

Tested out the CM 10.1 nightly earlier and was blown away by the life brought back into the G2x! I'll be switching over right away once they get RIL fixed. The no calling, texting or data is a deal breaker right now, especially when I pay $40 a month for unlimited everything. Right now it'd be pretty limited. :P

Depending on the future of the G2x here with regards to getting JB properly supported, I may be able to postpone a phone upgrade and not worry about getting a Nexus 4 or S3, this may do fine for another year or so!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
For anyone who might be interested, bestbuy and futureshop have a boxing day sale on the koodo Samsung Galaxy s2 x, you pay $50 up front with a new activation (with koodo) and $150 goes on the tab, but you get $100 gift card, so in total you only pay $100 for the phone and it works with wind/ mobilicity if you unlock it.

Note: you can cancel your new koodo plan the next day for minimal charges

Edit: obviously you'd have to pay the $150 from the tab if you cancel your plan

Hey guys this is my first post so sorry if I piss anyone off.. I've never installed a costume rom before and I'm kinda worried I'll brick my phone. I'm using the LG P999 or the G2X as some refer to it as, on Wind. Just wondering if anyone can give me a step to step and what would be the best rom for the phone. I'm not completely handy capped when it comes to this stuff so I promise helping me wont be a big pain. Thanks guys!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] B@je:
1st off you bought a lemon so to speak I have the same phone and I just bought a brand new sealed in box gnex for $230 and all I did was put my wind sim in it and now I couldn't be happier.

Now if you want stable you will need a gingerbread ROM, CM7 is the staple. We have ICS and Jellybean ROMs but there not stable and hardware acceleration and video recording is not working. If you can live with that then go for it.

First of all you need to root and install a recovery check out this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

Then search the development thread and look for any ROM /kernel you want and flash it.

If you have any more questions feel free to PM me. Too luck

You can get cheap cases in Vancouver at the Night Markets. It's nice to be able to try them out in person instead of ordering off the interwebs for something you have to touch all day.

And cables/chargers/accessories are always cheap at DealExtreme

Did you pick up the Micro HDMI cable already? Does it fit well? I've got mine from Monoprice, but the micro-hdmi side fits loose, so I can't move the phone around when I'm connected to my TV, so it's not very useful. The mini-HDMI cable I got for my camera from Monoprice fits fine.

I've bought from DealXtreme in the past as well, but went with Monoprice as it's shipped from the US instead of China...maybe I should of went back to DealXtreme.

WiFi with Miui 1.8.19

anyone running this rom and have some hold ups with the Wifi? I had some slow connections with this rom and don't want to go to the 1.8.26 since it is not stable. Is there a fix for this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Thanos1:
Very nice speeds. Have you been getting this performance since the beginning or only lately? WIND needs to seriously increase their UPLOAD speeds though. A decent upload speed is needed for video chats:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sei911:
Hi everyone. Mobilicity user here. I have both Nexus S and G2x. Both are great phone except G2x battery seem doesn't last as long as Nexus S. Data speed for both phone on Mobilicity netowrk constantly hitting around 3Mbps(Down) and 1Mbps(Up) on multiple locations, it seem that is the max for now on Mobilicity. Affordable great phone and plan, I'm a happy user.

I already have the cable but only used it once so far. Cable seems to fit fine on my phone, didn't notice loose connector issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jumran:
I received these speeds since the beginning but I only signed up with Wind around August 14, 2011. The data speeds seems to vary by time of day or other factors. One day speeds are great, next day they are terrible at the same location.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smoothmoose:
I haven't had any issue with the wifi on jface MIUI 1.8.19. I mean sometimes things might slow down, but is it your wifi connection, or the site you are accessing? I mean things are not always fast on wifi even on my laptop.

I do have issues with the cellular radio disconnecting, at first I thought it was the dragon kernel, but now it's just happened again on the base kernel (which I think is from CM7 with some RIL changes). I'm curious if other people are running the latest CM7 and having cellular disconnections.

It's not that bad as it's happened once in the 3 days and the normal reset get's it back up. I might also be CPU tuner or Juice Defender that is messing with my radio. Not sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smoothmoose:
Cool. Let me know if you test your cable again on a TV. Try to move the phone around like while playing a game and see if the cable comes loose (not violent Wii style movements of course ;-) )

Another Wind user here...just wondering if any of you have tried basebands other than June 05 that came with our phones?? Also, anyone figure out how to improve GPS lock time? It takes forever...

Just fyi, my data speeds on Wind have been largely inconsistent like many of you but when they’re good down is 3.5-5 Mbps. Upload is nearly always less than 1 Mbps but sometimes close to 2. Downtown TO, near Front&Bathurst/King West. So far I'm Glad I chose Wïnd over Mobi, faster data and larger coverage area :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smoothmoose:
If you know how to flash a new baseband let me know. That said, I believe all other ones are T-mobile specific and I'm not sure how it would handle the switch from 3G to 2G (we would switch from Wind to Rogers).

As for GPS, did you try changing the SUPL server I suggest in my first post on this thread?

Greetings from the city where the men have abnormally GIGANTIC penises!

Hi there, I'm here in this thread to share my experience(s) as a Wind Mobile user with the LG Optimus 2x P999.

Lets start by answering a couple of questions asked by a few people here using the Wind Mobile network. Some people were asking about updating to T-mobiles Gingerbread version & some were asking if it the baseband was compatible with wind (since wind has not ****in released their 2.3 yet :mad:). Me personally, I said ****'em, & I did just that. I used the kdz method & installed T-mobiles stock Gingerbread 2.3 (which BTW sucks ****) & with that came the baseband update. Later I just wiped everything and flashed EaglesBlood 2.2.2 Froyo 1.05 (which BTW is the most stable & most lightest rom EVER released for this phone). The baseband remained the new one & didn't downgrade itself. Here are the instructions if anyone is curious: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1183168 .

Currently I'm on eaglesblood 2.3.5 2.0 but using faux's 0.4.1 kernel because the stock awesome FAST kernel by Morific was causing my phone to heat up pretty quick & the battery life was BAD. All is working in order now although sometimes I crave the older EaglesBlood 2.2.2 Froyo 1.05 for its stableness but quickly realize that EB CM7 2.3.5 2.0 has more features, better system colors & better benchmarks.

Phone works like a charm w the new Baseband.

Someone asked me if using the new radio lets one switch from Wind to Rogers on the fly. I tried testing it and was successful at getting a roaming signal from Rogers but couldn't make a call. It might be because Wind doesn't let you make roaming calls while in the home zone? I remember someone telling me that. Does anyone know if theres any truth to that????

Just to let everyone know who may be interested in doing the same thing... I normally have my phone set to use the Wind Network only (dial *#*#4636#*#*) and have my phone set to WCDMA ONLY mode to avoid roaming charges.

If someone else could answer the question about switching between Wind & Rogers on the fly please let everyone know, thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smoothmoose:
Thanks! Great info. I'm pretty sure Wind does block calls when your phone accidently switches to Rogers when your in a Home zome. Though it isn't 100% as I have gotten roaming charges before when I was in the middle of Toronto. I am curious to see if the you have any issues when you are actually roaming outside of a home zone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wbkang:
I flashed the kdz file of the tmo gingerbread to get the latest July baseband. Seems to work fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
You notice any difference? And how did you flash it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noobletsausecakebbq:
No, the g 2x and the o2x are same aws band phone. Just differebt branding
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Actually they are not ALL the same phone. There was 3 versions released LG Optimus 2x p990, LG Optimus 2x P999 & G2X. The G2X & the LG Optimus 2x p999 are the same phone (almost) & the LG Optimus p990 is totally different. People are confusing these 3 for the wrong one & ending up w bricks. The LG Optimus 2x p999 is a later version of the G2X which was buggy as **** but yes these 2 are the p999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aceofserenity:
Just curious, what are the differences?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
the Optimus 2x p999 doesn't appear to have all the hardware bugs the initial batch of g2x's had. It's just a later revision of the same model.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noobletsausecakebbq:
But we are talking about WIND o2x, which is the P999 and g2x is also p999. P990 is from another part of the world)

fully functional miui - working data on wind

I've seen only one post about this and I haven't been able to find it again so I could give credit where it's due and figured I'd include it here. I love the miui roms but hadn't been able to get data working on any of them except jface's 1.8.19 but it had it's own problems that took me away from miui.

Again, credit belongs to someone else and not me for this.

I flashed 1.8.19 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158037) and booted up the phone as per usual. Once the phone settled in, I rebooted to recovery, cleared cache and dalvik cache and flashed 1.9.9 and later 1.9.16 from whitehawk which is in a different forum..google search whitehawk miui and scroll down 5-6 sites. after the flash was complete, i fixed permissions and rebooted the phone and data is now working with wind.

hope this helps.

New to WIND and Android with my G2x

Hey everyone just wanted to say Hi and thanks for all the posts so far with some good info.

I just switched from Robbers to WIND and got the G2x, so far had NO problems like have been posted before with rebooting, freezes, shutting off while charging, etc.

Gotta say the battery life is quite bad (I used to be on iphone 3gs which would at least last a whole day except under really heavy use) even with Juice Defender running.

Love the screen but I keep going to press the iphone home button to wake the phone! Wish the G2x would wake to lock screen with the buttons on the bottom.

Gonna wait out the 14 day return/exchange period with WIND before messing with rooting and stuff just in case anything happens.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
Probably a good idea. I'd say in terms of battery life i have MIUI 1.9.23 and Trinity ELP kernel installed. So far so good! I was experiencing horrible battery life the past couple days. Hopefully this will be a good start.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yourmoms:
So I wasn't able to wait the 14 days..

I have tried about 6 roms in the last 2 days. LOVED MIUI 1.9.30 but it's not stable enough. Too many bugs to use every day. I am pretty sure once that rom is more developed it will be my main rom.

For now I am using Weapon 2.6 which IMO is the best of the roms right now. I haven't tried CM7 but with so much not working on it I figured what's the point.

I haven't tried any custom kernels yet but I have some downloaded just have to flash and try.

I wondered if anyone else on WIND has this problem - If I move into an area with marginal or no signal, the phone will drop to WIND away which is rogers. However it will not go back to WIND HOME once I re-enter the signal area. I have to manually go into the network settings, search and then select home. To try and stop this I have chosen to use WCDMA networks only, no GSM. So now I don't drop to rogers, I just go straight to emergency only and I still have to manually search for and select WIND if I want to send SMS or make a phone call.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smoothmoose:
Nope it changes back to wind home for me on miui.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yourmoms:
miui strikes again!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
Depends on which rom u use. Miui port by Whitehawx is the ****! but still has a few bugs. Weapon is second best. The best rom for our phone right now is EaglesBlood 2.3.3 & not 2.3.5 which is based on unfinished code at the moment & is buggy a tiny bit. If u do use this rom make sure u download the lockscreen bug fix zip & flash it after.

In 2.3.3 u can goto Wireless Networks/Mobile Network Settings/Network Mode & set it to "WCDMA ONLY". Then scroll down to "Network Operators" & select "Automatic". BOOM! u will nerver roam to rogers & after losing wind signal it will automaticlly go back to wind again. So to recap there 2 settings u must change in order to get what u want.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
Why do you believe Eagles blood is better than weapon 2.7?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
(1) Cuz of the way D implemented the GPU to take over for some of the tasks the cpu was doing before by default. Its almost like having a 3rd core. OS/Phone is more responsive & faster. Pictures & graphics are totally effected by this in a good way. Don't get me wrong I love Whitehawkx weapon especially 2.7 :cool:

(2) Cuz all the bloat is removed

Eaglesblood 2.3.3 1.09 is light & is totally based on OTA+coding improvements. The GPU thing is win win too, as i've already said.

Some other roms have bloat removed only to have different bloat added.

See for yourselves!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
Thank you! Ill check it out for sure :p maybe it'll give me some decent battery life.

Sent from my LG-P999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dave778:
I am also using fauxes 0.1.3 kernel to get better battery life + it makes it somewhat faster because of the use of mounting as ext4.

Then I got setcpu & set it to min 216 max 1015 (down clocking it by 100 mhz) to save even more battery. LG default is max 1015 anyway so nothing is really lost.

Am also using Screen off animation zip (by Xboarder) to fix wallpaper before lockscreen bug.

Try that setup & let me know what u think. This is by far the fastest & most responsive rom I have used. Way better than stock 2.3.3 gingerbread. God bless the maker of the rom, "Don"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
I'm trying it out now! Gonna test it out, see what my battery life is like. Thanks again :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dakunclear:
hmmmmm ill have to try that when i get my desktop back from futureshop lol that could be a week or so. im with wind and in calgary i get about 4mbps and .5up on average and who ever said they get great battery life with stock is insane i get through 70% of my battery going to work for an 8 hour day lol so its crap if i use it a tiny bit heavier ill go home with about 10% left oh well

I got about 28 hours with display on for 3h 15mins, played samurai II for about 40 minutes, and other various games and texting/calling.

Good enough for me, although I'm investing in an extended battery.

bump for this, ill post it if no one else does by the end of the week. would do it now but i need my current setup and i dont feel like wiping it clean to just get something someone else could take 2 minute to get. also if someone could check the sysfolder/etc and see if wind uses a suplcert like tmobile that would be great.

oh i agree i spent a few hours last night updating to cm7 works much better only issue i had is some how i bricked it along the way and had to sit there for another few hours getting it to work then it said that my internal sd wasn't mounted so i spent another few hours figuring out how to fix that lol all in all i got it to work and i've noticed a 50%+ increase in my battery life and for those of you who have never done this its easy if you get yourself into my spot just message me ill walk you through it all :D

new update i've gone and switched over to weapon which seems to be a bit better on my battery i might try eaglesblood sooner or later but for now ill keep at for anyone looking to update their wind lg o2x(aka g2x)

Hi guys

I'm on WIND and I got my g2x about 2 weeks ago and since rooted it and flashed a few different roms onto it.

The problem I had with a lot of roms was that the internal sd wasn't being read by the phone. I don't have a removable sd card so i wasn't able to take pictures, listen to music, etc.

Right now I'm stuck using the latest WeaponG2x with the "CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.5 which I got using SuperOneClick to root.

So, is there something I'm doing wrong? Do I need to update my recovery?
