I enabled data roaming thinking they wouldn't catch on as I was on the Rogers network (didn't show wind away it showed Rogers) and I got the 450 dollar bill and they actually knocked it down to 200 for me. Also when I first got my g2x I had to get 2 replacements (I'm on phone #3) at no cost to me...

My only ***** right now is the fact I can't connect to wind away anymore for some reason... maybe I have a sim card error... any other calgarians having issues connecting in outside areas? (Canmore, Airdrie, Strathmore, ect)

I know my buddy has no issues... he's rocking the same phone same rom and kernel...

Anyways I can't really say wind has never given me anything especially compared to my experience with Rogers and telus in the past...

Edit: Does this make me Jesus??

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bladedwings:
All right so I've been running about 2-4 speed tests a day, and around yesterday afternoon my download speed went up to about 1.4Mb/s. It's been pretty stable since then (one test was 0.9Mb/s). It's still slower than the 2.5-3.0Mb/s I used to get constantly, but at least it's a lot more manageable now. I'll keep waiting to see if it goes up.

As for my ROM + kernel choice (Eaglesblood v2.8 + Trinity ELP)... I like it so far. It's only crashed once and I think it has been like three days I think. Also from reading the other users experiences, I think the crash was just bad luck, but we'll see if it keeps up. In any case, that's already better than the stock ROM that the phone came with. As for battery life, when I'm not using the phone the battery barely goes down. I left it on overnight once for about 8 hours and it only lost like 6%. However, when I'm using the browser, the battery seems to drain a bit faster than it used to. Of course I can't be sure if what I'm experiencing is due to the ROM, something else, or if it's actually not even happening and I'm just imagining it... so I'll use it for 3-4 more days to get a better feel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dakunclear:
ya i agree i found that tethering doesn't work properly right now with either ics roms the new weapon rom is a bit smoother he does a superb job of it.

if he does an ics rom later i'll end up using that as well since he is reliable for stability and having a rom thats good for battery life and smooth :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joeyxl:
are you getting random freezes with tethering? Thats what i get
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
Hey guys first post here. Has anyone tried Bluetooth to work with any of these roms?

My experience is as follows:

2.3.3 and below... Would disconnect and still say it is connected.

2.3.4 and above... No disconnect issues but microphone mute with Bluetooth headset does not work.

For GPS please try bloater to fix the GPS.Conf.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dakunclear:
No just works then randomly turns off so I think I'll wait for the next ics update to come out cause I use teethering a lot
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joeyxl:
Yeah i get that happening as well, the random freezes happen heree and there. Otherwise, really smooth ROM!

Try barnacle wifi tether. Works perfectly for me.

FWIW, I just did a speed test (in Kitchener) and got 1343 kbps. I do realize it's pretty late in the day, I'll try again when I'm on campus tomorrow and see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bladedwings:
I'm currently using the latest Eaglesblood ROM and Bluetooth works just fine for me. I haven't made a call with mine yet, as I just use it to listen to music, so I can't be completely sure the microphone works. I've never had a problem with Bluetooth, though, so I have no reason to think it wouldn't work.

Was your Bluetooth headset working with the stock ROM?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
Stock=2.2.2. Mute works but bluetooth has intermittent disconnects (without really telling that it is disconnected).

Anything above 2.3.3: Bluetooth works fine (mostly) but mute over bluetooth headset does not work. The button simply does not do anything (light comes on but no effect).

If you would just try to confirm (if yours works can you give me a nandroid backup :)).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dakunclear:
I tried it and it didn't work but I found another one that works so I'm happy now I wouldn't of even looked for an app had you not mentioned it lol

New to flashing and don't have the time atm to spend hours reading so need a bit of a quick start.

The wives Wind Optimus 2x has the usual battery issues. I tried the factory reload and battery condition write up but its still doing weird ****.

So I'm looking for as close to stock GB rom with stability and battery life being important.

If I go with a different rom does the phone still show Wind Home and Wind Away notification?

So what would be my best choice?

If possible can I get links to easier write up on flashing the phone with the suggested roms.

Thanks

[T-Mobile LG G2x] end user:
Well that's my own problem, since the battery issue is there I'm gonna have to get another phone any ways so I might as well try to flash and see what happens it before I fork over $400+ for a new phone.

If I'm gonna flash it and it works I might as well use the most stable/battery life rom there is to try it out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] linelock:
I ran WeaponG2x for a long time. It is stable and has decent battery life.

You will need to flash ClockWorkMod with NVflasher in order to backup your stock rom and flash the new one. I used This thread. I would suggest flashing 5.0.2.0. Please read the sticky in the developer forum before you flash anything.

All the custom ROM's I've tried display wind home or away.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
Yeah closest to stock would be weapon g2x it is a rock solid rom. But for performance and battery life you gotta give it to the cm 7 roms. Hellfire Phoenix is my daily driver and has been for quite some time.

Follow the instructions on using nvflash properly and flashing cwm to your phone. (You will need the correct drivers on your windows machine) and once you got that part under control you basically have an unbrickable phone to start crack flashing everything you so desire. Try out a stock based Tom (like weapon g2x, or bionix) and a couple cyanogenmod based ones like Hellfire Phoenix or eaglesblood from there you can decide which works better for you.

Yah I read through that whole thread but I must be getting old. I guess I'm gonna have to install windows on one off my laptops.

I guess I'll do this in steps first before doing rom flashes.

Root the phone first if I have a stock install (froyo)?

Install the One-Click NvFlasher ClockworkMod
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
You got it man, nvflash installs your clockwork recovery very deep so if you f*ck something up ypur cwm is always there :) and if not nvflash it again and no worries.

you don't really need to root the stock rom cause you will be flashing a rom with root access baked into it. So you can skip that step.

Even if you run a virtual machine with windows XP or 7 you might save yourself the time and effort unless you have 5 laptops sitting around.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bladedwings:
All right so I've heard that the new V21y firmware(?) fixes some GPS issues and I am potentially interested in making use of that. However, I've also heard it requires a stock ROM(?). I'm familiar with flashing all that business, but my general knowledge of what each ROM entails is a bit underdeveloped. So if anyone can help me figure out which ROMs are compatible(?) with this firmware, it'd be a big help. Also you'll notice question marks inside parentheses; those are just there to indicate I don't know what I'm talking about when I said the preceding things, so if I'm not making sense, feel free to call me a noob, explain what's actually going on, and then finish it off by calling me a noob again. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DupleX01:
Greetings, until date the only ROMs compatible with the new baseband are either the stock V21y that it has came bundled with or user kwes1020's rooted V21y stock ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1602798

Other ROMs are technically working with this new baseband, except for one "insignificant" :-) issue: no working voice calls, just static sound for both party of the call.

According to the discussions around the new ROM/firmware differs in so many aspect that it will take a while till the developers of other ROMs going to make their ROMs working with it, if they have the will to do so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bladedwings:
Thanks for the quick reply and info. I think I'll put up with the faulty GPS for now just because I love CM7 EaglesBlood. Also partly due to me getting kind of tired of flashing new ROMs. I will, however, be keeping an eye on this whole V21y thing and maybe I'll change my mind.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
That "one "insignificant" :-) issue: no working voice calls, just static sound for both party of the call." may be acceptable to those who just want an Ipod Touch type of device.

Warranty replacement

So recently (last Tuesday) I tried to use my phone's hdmi output to play a movie on my TV, needless to say I was on an ICS rom, Genesis to be specific, I know it was a stupid move to try and use hdmi on ICS especially since video playback is not completely functional at the moment, but I figured WTH, if my phone breaks I'll finally get it repaired which I've been wanting to do for a while. Anyway, "surprisingly" :eek: the phone heated up like crazy and drained battery in a matter of seconds, since then, and after flashing all three basebands that I have V11h, V21e, and V21y, my phone's been getting really hot while charging and then discharges very quickly, I'm talking 60% in an hour!!! I know for a fact it's not the battery. Today I finally took it to a wind store, after reverting back to stock, to get it sent in for repair, but wind doesn't do repairs they just give you a new phone :D which is great too. This brings me to my current experience, battery life seems a lot better with the stock rom and the GPS took literally a second to lock and was very accurate!

I guess the last batch of G2x's was manufactured with more care.

P.S. I am not, and will not, be responsible if anyone tries to do what I did and gets stuck with a dead phone and no way to replace it for free. I know there's some special people out there, so this disclaimer goes to you.

P.S. (again) if anyone does get their phone replaced with wind please share your experience with the replacement :)

edit: I did also try different roms with the different basebands, it was most likely a hardware issue, or a persistent bug, and by no means am I encouraging people to kill their phones on purpose to get a replacement, if you want to do it I can't stop you, but be careful, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A NOOB

Question about Wind SIM Tool

Hi,

I've had my G2X since October. Rooted and flashed CM 7.1 after the first week (really hated the stock ROM). But one thing I've missed is the Wind SIM Tool that would send me updates on airtime usage via text (I'm on pay before service).

Does anyone know if there is anyway to get the Wind SIM Tool to work with CM7?

Basebands

Hi Wind Mobile friends,

I am still a relative noob when it comes to Android technology. Can someone please explain to me what a baseband is? Is there a different one for Wind as opposed to T-Mobile? Am I to understand there is a new one vs. an old one?

I flashed ICS ROM AOKP. Someone told me to run getRIL and it says RIL/baseband doesn't match. What is a RIL, and should I replace it using that app?

Someone please help me make heads or tails of this.

Also, for all you folks posting your speeds on the Wind network, what tool were you using to measure them?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] barqers:
Hm, okay I'll answer in order:

1. From my understanding, phones use basebands to communicate with the network towers. AKA Wind uses the AWS 1700/2100, so does T-mobile. Hence, the two phones/networks are compatible. Upgrading your baseband version on your phone is simply updating the software on the phone that allows the phone to use it's antenna to communicate to the towers. The newest baseband apparently fixes some bugs in the code.

2. RIL I'm not too sure what it does, or what not. But it you're using GetRIL you can easily just click "download" and it'll match the baseband and RIL for you. I believe that the RIL is at the OS level, and it's how the OS communicates with your antenna, whereas the Baseband version is at the hardware level (kind of like a BIOS for the antenna, know what I mean?)

3. Do not use the latest baseband with ICS, as many reported no voice calling using it. Wait til it's reported fixed.

4. Usually most people use the speedtest app found here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsIm9yZy56d2Fub28uYW5kcm9pZC5zcGVlZHRlc3QiXQ..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BriskT:
Thank you for your quick response. Are the problems people are having with the new baseband in ICS due to the baseband itself, or the method for updating it? If I flashed back to Stock Froyo and then updated the baseband, would I then be able to flash ICS again and have it work? Or will that be no good too?

Nope, it's a no-go :(

[T-Mobile LG G2x] DupleX01:
It's	LG update tool issue. It's forcing to update itself to prevent using Kdz method. However, can be deceived using a fake server.

Please, follow the instructions in this thread to setup the fake server, then use the regular Kdz method. Will work like a charm even on Windows7.	Make sure when you start the Kdz, select your preferred kdz file, then "read phone information" and on the popup choose "start upgrade".

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1473781

Please be aware, that you only have to follow the instruction until step 8.

The rest is for a different handset. However, if you wanna update your baseband as well(better signal/wifi) follow this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1332350

If you only want to update to GB without updating your baseband, then simply choose any ROM from dev section. Install CWM recovery via nvflash method (dev section a well):

CWM. Just "install zip from SD card"

Just FYI, this is already in Gummy2.0, so if you're on that ROM then you are on this kernel.

Overclock is not enabled by default. The kernel allows you to oc up to 1.4ghz with voltage control or a similar app. If you don't like it don't use it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
The way the changelog is phrased it seems like it's overclocked by default, not only that but when I started up Voltage Control for the first time the advanced section was up to 1400, general was 1000mhz though. Overclocking confuses me.

This is so awesome! Finally the colors look correct instead of way oversaturated !!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Agreed! Also, according to what imnuts' said(unless I'm misinterpreting) that's not even the full Voodoo Color, so we can look foward to an even better version in the future :] Voodoo Color was made for Super Amoled and not SAmoled+ so that's why he can't just copy it over.

I streamed Netflix and Media Hub over hdmi on gc gbe 1.92 rc 2 with no problems
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
FYI about Voodoo Color: the color-correction only kicks in at 100% brightness, so if you're like most people and leave auto-brightness on, don't expect colors to look better because the calibration won't be in effect.

Super AMOLED+ also has much less of an inherent blue tint than Super AMOLED did, so I'm not even sure the difference is very noticeable at full brightness.

What would make a definite difference are the text sharpening enhancements (the Charge still applies an overly aggressive sharpness filter, much like the Galaxy S), but since text is far more accurately sharp on the + to begin with due to the loss of Pentile I can't really tell if that's active in this kernel.

So, bottom line: Voodoo Color was made for the screen on the original Galaxy S, and ours is a good deal different (and improved)... so don't expect it to make a huge difference like it did on the Fascinate. If/when supercurio makes a new Voodoo Color implementation specifically for the Galaxy SII, then we may see more of an improvement (but again, never as much as with the original Galaxy S because our screens are just better to begin with).
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
It's a huge difference. Colors went from oversaturated to balanced. White looks white instead of blue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Steve.G:
So just curious, I flashed this kernel and voltage control still says it's incompatible with my kernel. Also, when using any cpu app, it still shows my max as 1000mhz.

Hello,

When I run adb shell, it reports back with a "$,"even though I do have root. I'm running JoeyKrim Stock With Root ROM. Odexed...

I do have superuser installed with the latest binary, and latest official busybox. Terminal emulator even detects that I have root.

Basically everything works as it should, except adb. Anybody know what's going on?
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
When you type adb shell, does it immediately report back with a $, or does it pause for a few and then report back with a $? If it pauses for a few seconds, look down at your phone during that time. You may be being prompted with the super user request prompt, where you need to hit allow. I'm not sure why you need to do this sometimes, but I've had it happen before. If you don't look at the phone and hit 'allow', then it times out and doesn't give you root access. So type 'adb shell', check out your phone and see if your prompted, if so allow it, and you should be good. If that is not the case, then I'm unsure what could be causing it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Thanks, I'll test that out. I have a pin set on superuser. Maybe that's the issue.
