How is CM7 working now? when I had one, it would drop data, boot with no data, and the battery drivers were all screwed up...how is it now? Have a lot of the mistakes been corrected from the original G2x's that were shipped? (reboots, data drops, etc)...??? Any help would be appreciated. Tired of this Single core phone, and found a good deal on a G2x.

Mine is working great.. Came running 2.3.3 with no problems. I rooted and left stock rom for awhile still no problems. Then flashed faux123's oc/uv kernel ran fantastic. Tried a few different roms and settled on triggers 8/22 2.3.5 rom with faux123's oc/uv kernel as my daily driver with no problems so far...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bjlefebvre:
Running the CM7 nightly on my G2x for past two days. Haven't noticed any problems. Been stable, battery life is good.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
The APN Issue is still there, but it no longer drops data. Battery life is AMAZING now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enoch861:
I couldn't deal with the piece of **** iPhone 4. I came running back to the G2x. Ive kept it stock so far and it's amazing!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I've been running MIUI. WiFi Calling isn't working yet (which sucks) but I'm using Faux's 4.2 Kernel and getting great battery life and very little issues.

With Faux's kernel, WiFi will sometimes fail which requires a restart, and sometimes using USB Mass Storage will lock up.

Sounds bad, but aside from WiFi calling not working, the other issues are pretty rare.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Slappy00:
Also running MIUI, runs great, some FC (music player) but mostly its pretty stable, my favorite rom thus far.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] muzicman0:
Just picked it up...it is currently running Warrior rom...is it any good? Seems ok so far, but it's only been 30 minutes or so...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
hahahahaha warrior??? im pretty sure u mean the weapon rom:p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] muzicman0:
yep...not sure why I typed that...anyways...know much about stability of that rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
yes one of the most stable roms, it is based off stock 2.3.3 but imo way better with the edt tweaks such as lockscreens and battery configurations, very fast and reliable
[T-Mobile LG G2x] formeforfree:
By the way. Has the reboot issue been fixed if i flash the newest weapon?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] swuln:
I'm running jboogies 2.3.3 right now with fauxs 1.3 kernal ... Its his first g2x rom. I guess he usually devs for motor but I haven't had any problems .... Fits has a real good kang out right now with some awesome lockscreen rings... but he's not posting here so you have to Google for it...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
For me, I had absolutely no reboots at all on the newest version until I went and flashed Faux's OC/UV kernel. To be fair, my battery life is plenty better, just a little unstable. Weapon by itself is amazing.

EDIT: Forgot to say I came from 2.3.5, so I came from a complete wipe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trilero:
Hi, this is my first post in this forum, and I have installed the rom "Dlev7 1.3" from Dlev7 for my samsung galaxy s 2. and after installing it I realized I had no APNs in the list where should aparecer.hice wipes and all appeared, but I have neither the spare parts, or the BLN control, or the MOD Jkay. so I have no shutdown CRT, and you do need something more. Why are deleted?

Now I'm looking to return to them and not do it, just do not want you to remove the unlock screen appears an application. (when I had the mod Jkay).

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
Yoi need to look and ask your questions in Diev thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
There is no problem with the dlev rom 1.3. If you are installing it for the first time , you have to make a full wipe installation method, else you will have problems.

Also posting this in the dlev rom thread would be appropriate....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
I'm sure he would post in the dlev rom thread, but seeing as this was his first post he can't .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trilero:
Yes!!

Well, I took the zip of the rom, I searched the applications that I had disappeared and I have reinstalled,

Thanks a lot
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shortbus-Driver:
I have a Verizon samsung galaxy s Fascinate and im just wondering....just how much of the internal parts are compatible,like for instance... the camera w/flash,the ffc,speakers ect. The screen is about 3/16 longer so that wont work...hmm or will it ...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oxirane:
I feel like you'd need a totally different ROM than anything out there to just run that kind of frankensteined hardware... I'd say don't try it unless you don't care about possibly killing two expensive electronics.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pantsaregood:
I constantly read posts about "WP7 is so behind in features," yet I don't really see what's missing.

NoDo brought copy and paste, and managed to implement it in quite a functional way.

Mango is bringing a more developed task switcher and background agents. The freedom of Android isn't there, but the multitasking/dehydration implementation is at least as functional as that of iOS.

Mango wasn't originally going to support it, but ICS exists within Mango.

Where are the major missing features, exactly? The browser doesn't support Flash? Neither does iOS. Microsoft and Apple seem to want Flash to die, and Google is probably covertly on board with that.

Xbox Live integration works just as I'd expect it to. Office Mobile is perfectly functional.

Skype isn't available yet, but will ultimately exist in the form of a highly-integrated app. IM+ definitely is buggy at the moment, so WP7 needs to catch up for users of most IM clients.

Where's the big problem in WP7? It was certainly behind upon its release, but now it seems close to feature parity with the two major platforms.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
I too don't understand where the THIS IS AWFUL posts come from. But there are definitely limitations. But look, there will be with any platform.

I personally want avi support, DLNA (I have Play To, but it only works with W7 desktop), HDMI out, and tethering. I'm not sure if Bell will support the tethering yet, but I hope they do.

I came from Windows Mobile, so a platform that -just works- is the most important feature to me. Wp7 owns in this category. My wife's iPhone locks up about once a week. Her display looks bland and old. I find wp7 just sleek and beautiful and it works. All the time. Exactly like it should.

As for others, who knows. The general public has never exactly been a beacon of intelligence.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Well...in fact there were only a handful of features missing that I expect in a smartphone. The most used is turn by turn voice guided navigation. And I expected the Bing search to provide that function when I bought my HD7 on launch day.

You should have seen my reaction when I figured out, after searching and searching for the Bing nav, it actually didn't have it. I was dumbfounded. I literally believed MS was trying to pull a fast one with WP7. It actually took me a long time before I would believe MS didn't include the Bing nav they had in WinMo 6.5.

Beyond that mind boggling event, I knew about pretty much the rest of the common stuff that was missing. But I believed MS would quickly implement those features. That's what everyone on here and throughout the media world was saying.

WP7 has actually proven to be the exact opposite of what it was suppose to be.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pantsaregood:
Turn by Turn in Mango is annoying, given it expects you to tap after every direction, but I don't understand how it is a valid complaint.

"There's an app for that" is always a valid fix for Android and iOS. Why is it that, when applied to WP7, that it makes the platform horrible?
[Windows Phone 7 General] jake2046:
iphone & android had the same problem when they first launched...took them a few years for the OS to mature.

WP7 is only about a yr old....practically still a baby and it almost matured to the level of the aging droid & iphone. Give it time...it will be on par or surpass them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hboos:
I can see four major problems why a lot of the general public will pass up on WP7

1. there aren't enough apps

2. apps are pricey

3. mango still isn't here

4. hardware is just not on the same level as the android flagships (and may not be with the upcoming iPhone)

for 1-3, you could argue that these things will get better but how reasonable is it to ask your customer who wants a phone now to buy something incomplete and wait for the updates that will eventually come?

and while WP7 runs really well on last gen hardware, many people just want what's best.. best processor, best screen without really understanding what the benefits are..

For me personally, I love WP7 but really don't like the lack of flash support (can't watch iPlayer which you can on iOS and Android) and the fact that navigation is pretty useless.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Basically, for myself...and a lot of others as well...when you expect something about a product and it doesn't turn out, it pisses us off.

I and many others who kept up with the media presentation of WP7 news long before WP7 was launched expected it to be MS's "iPhone". What that means is, MS would release a mobile OS that was as good and reliable as iOS and MS would take full and complete control of it for updating and implementation...just like Apple with their iPhone. And this is incredibly significant because it was understood and rationalized that this would alleviate all of the updating issues with all handsets on all carriers. MS would set the specs for the handset makers to strictly adhere to and MS would develop all of the software and updates for all of those handsets.

The fact that the launch phones are identical in "system" hardware further reinforced the understanding that MS would be controlling WP7 exclusively. I and others believed it. And this is what was flooding the media sites.

Everything that was believed about WP7 in the beginning has turned out to be false in reality. MS dared to release a featureless smartphone and then completely backtracked on all it was understood they would do with it. Many, many were burned by MS. I don't expect a damn thing from MS till I see it in reality. I felt like MS was loaded with a bunch of arrogant, lying, lazy bums who would say anything to get what they wanted.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
I personally think that the only place Windows Phone is really behind is hardware. For the average user, the software is there as of Mango, but there are so many better hardware choices out there, that no matter how good the software is, it fails to lure in customers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toza:
IMO I think that the main problem is that WP currently misses some simple features, that are included in almost 80% of "dumb" phones. :rolleyes:

For example, there is no way to set a custom ringtone for calls/sms (i'm talking about official releases, and by that i mean NoDo), no way to add new accent colors for live tiles, only 2 themes (dark/light), wallpaper only available on lock screen, no save contact to sim card, no bluetooth file transfer, etc.

I think that those things are producing a lot of discomfort for some users, who previously had some other smartphone (iOS, Android...) and therefore they get annoyed when using WP7 device. As it is a new platform, these things will be surely dealt with in future and I think that's nothing to worry about. After all, think this way. If MS wants WP7 to survive on the market, they have to step up to Android and iOS in any way possible and as soon as possible.;)

I hope that some of those things will not be anymore on to-do list when Mango comes out! So, let's see what Mango has to offer!:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
I'm pretty certain MS didn't make it this way on accident. It was very intentional.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Damnzel:
I agree! The first thing people notice when given my phone to play with are the few accent colors to choose from. For me personally, only 3 of them even come into consideration, but I can live with that...What really annoys me is the missing compass-integration into bing maps, even android 1.6 had that as I remember. Every time when I'm in cologne and get lost once again, I have to check the direction I'm actually heading to (by usually walking the wrong way):mad:.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toza:
Yes! That is what I'm talking about. Everyone first asks about simple things when they tryout the phone. To be more precise, everyone expects from a ~200$ phone to have those simple things integrated by default, and when they try WP, the first thing they notice is that those features are missing, and then come the problems.;)

No advance feature can "shine" when the simple ones are missing:(

There used to be a saying: "Details make great things, but they can also destroy them.";)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Exactly.

Nobody would expect a modern car to be without an air conditioner or or any of the other common features. Anyone buying a smartphone these days expects the smartphone maker to compete with the other companies who are selling their smartphones filled to the brim with features. For a company to even dare to introduce a smartphone that is ass-backwards on features (has none of the common ones), is a slap in the face of everyone. For that company to expect no complaints is like burying their heads in the sand and shunning reality.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jake2046:
you can get the accent color if you hack it...you know like most of the android users do to their phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I don't know how many times it's been stated that the TBT GPS is the way it is because of Licensing issues. Yeah it sucks, get over it. Why did Bing Nav for WinMo have it? MS must of had the license to use it, but it has since expired. Read up on how licensing works. Also, 3rd party apps count too & they exist. Like has been said, how come it's such a big deal for WP7, but with iOS/Android, "there's an app for that" is okay? Enough with this double standard. As for customizing, it's possible with "hacking." BTW, far more do it than XDA'er like to admit, a lot more. It's pretty commonplace. Most people, if they can't figure it out on their own will get a techy friend to do it for them. BTW, there's 4+ Mil XDA members. That's a pretty large # of hackers/lurkers/etc. looking for a way to tweak their devices nevermind the "guests" that never join or all the other sites. Ok, done & out...
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
WP7 didn't have turn by turn voice nav when it was released because WP7 couldn't do turn by turn voice nav. It wasn't capable.

Who exactly would MS get their Bing nav license from?
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
It did, Garmin Streetpilot was/is available in NoDo. There were/are various other marketplace apps for TBT Navigation. "There's an app for that," enough said.

Who, no clue, but many have stated this in multiple threads. I'll look into this more later. Admittedly I am going by what has been said, so I will investigate this on my own & see what I can find.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
When was NoDo released?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
What's missing?

Users , plus the other stuff they mentioned.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I'm glad someone else notices how much iPhones lock up. They have a lot of problems that seem to go unnoticed. Unresponsive apps, random reboots, lag, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I've never experienced any of this you mention on my iPhones. But I also have never jailbroke them. My iPhone 4 is the most reliable and efficient phone yet. It isn't as smooth and elegant as WP7. But it's smooth enough to make it my main phone...boring main phone, but main, nonetheless.

-----------------------------------------------

Also, in regard to the qualities of WP7, I have to make an amend to my claim of horrible sound quality...for my Focus, anyway. I've done a side-by-side with my Infuse, Cowon D2 and Inspire. I'm wrong. Plain and simple. NoDo must have helped it some kind of way on the SQ because the last time I listened to music on my Focus was before NoDo and it was certainly not high-end. But I now concede that the SQ is okay.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
iPhones barely lock up. Apple's App Review Process is MUCH stricter than anyone else's. You're completely blowing that out of proportion. WP7 launched and for months the Marketplace was crashing all over the place. There's no way Apple would have let that sit that way for that long.

Maybe you're talking about a 3G/3GS running the latest FW? App quality in the App Store is higher than in Android and WP7. Developers tend to support that platform better. The versions there are typically higher quality, with more features, and with prioritized updates compared to other platforms.

MSFT was supposed to free us from that, remember, but turned out WP7 users hack their phones just as much as iOS/Android users for exactly the same reasons. It's turning out not to be much different. Remember all the threads leading up to WP7 release where people were laughing at Android users saying "have fun waiting forever for a FW update, LOLOLOL!!!" Well, there you go. 4+ months for non-factor NoDo and forever for Mango. 1 Year for the first mentionable platform update. Seems like lightning speed to me...

^ From MartyLK:

It's been stated by Mini-MSFT (Microsoft Manager blogging anonymously) that the people in Microsoft working on WP7 are completely out of touch. I believe it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Well, to be fair, that's what I thought of MS about 4 or so months after the launch of WP7 while suffering through the long wait for an update. Since NoDo I've had a change of heart about them. But I still don't trust them. That Belfiore kinda turned me off by that seemingly arrogant tweet he made after Sep. 15 when everyone was complaining about not receiving the Mango update. He mentioned something about it not being Fall yet. But he may be a decent guy, I don't know. His tweet just rubbed me the wrong way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Oh comon now. Some anonymous blogger claiming to be a MS manager states something and its fact? Even if he is a MS Manager, you will always have jaded folks in any company who have different perspectives and outlooks on things. I wonder if he's even on the WP team itself. I've met many of the WP team since I live in the area of MS headquarters, and I have not met one who is out of touch.

They know what they are up against, and they are the only ones doing something completely out of the box compared to the rest of the industry. If you don't like their direction thats fine but give me a break.

Thats like saying the Windows 8 team is out of touch. Yet they have, along with the WP team, created what is to me the next generation of touch interfaces. So long palm pilot miniature desktop. Let Apple, Google and the rest of those playing 'monkey-see monkey-do' have fun with that.

And yes MartyLK, Joe Belfiore is actually a really nice down to earth guy. Tweets and text in general can come off how we each perceive them since emotions are harder to convey that way, as is context.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Mini-MSFT can be trusted. His infromation form the inside has been confirmed by many people who worked for Microsoft.

Your opinion is useless by comparison.

Don't care about Windows 8, TBQH. That OS is 12-15 months off. This thread is about Windows Phone 7, which was released almost a year ago.

Also, the Windows 8 and Windows Phone teams are not the same, so it's not even comparative.

Yes, Joe is a nice guy. Doesn't change a thing. Charles Manson was probably nice, too...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
wow...Nice comparison. If I ever needed a reason to stop taking you seriously.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
I knew WP7 was a work in progress when it was released, I've had it since December with no complaints...and with the updates I'm getting, I'd be on the 3rd or 4th generation iPhone by now.

definitely true! very true. less than a year old and it is picking up some serious marketshare.

---------- Post added at 08:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

But the truth is, mobile devices is evolving faster today than it was last year and the year before.

Online storage via dumb phone? What is that? SIM contact storage? Who needs that when all your contacts can sync over the air from your emails?

Custom ringtones? Wasn't that just a "trend" when I was 16 years old?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Mini-MSFT is a great resource, and seems very credible indeed.

That being said, I wouldn't read too much into it. Basically you can replace the word MSFT with any big corporation name and it'll be true still, apart from some specifics that may vary, but to the same result.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Yes, the comparison was overblown purposely to display how dumb comparing the Windows 8 team to the Windows 7 team is. Sort of a "see what I did there" type of thing.

The Microsoft Windows Team has always been way more sensitive to consumer feedback than the Windows Phone team seems to be. They look like they have a "this is what we're doing, deal wit hit" approach to things which is driving or keeping lots of people away from the platform.

I didn't expect you to get that, though, and my expectations in this forum are quite low XD

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

No other big corporations matter. This is the WP7 forum and the only corporation we care about is Microsoft (who develops the platform) and to a lesser extent it's main competitors (only to the extent of where they are competitively and what innovation is going on in the industry that may affect the adoption of WP7 as a platform among consumers).

There are whistleblowers everywhere. We don't care about many of them because in many cases their information does not directly (or even indirectly) affect us.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I said what I said not to denigrate other big corporations, but rather to point out that you can't really derive any future product characteristics from such information. If it mattered, all big businesses would have gone the way of the dinosaurs long ago. Yet they manage sometimes to pump out decent (and sometimes even cool) things. Miraculously. Jobs would call it magical.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toza:
I see it this way (my point of view, probably many will disagree):

Online storage = privacy issues.

SIM contact storage = more control for user to decide where to store contacts.

Sync contacts online = privacy issues.

Custom ringtones = When you need to change them, you need to.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Yet another wp7 is crap thread, well i don't think so, my ipad on the other hand reboots itself every other day for no apparent reason, even the so called genius at the apple store couldn't work it out. From hence forth I am abandoing XDA developers, it is troll heaven, there are plenty of more informative and useful wp7 forums out there.

Bye bye!
[Windows Phone 7 General] nachmore:
Of the list of features you mentioned Mango brings custom ringtones for calls, but none of the others. All of the features above seem like power user features, apart from the accent color for live tiles, which is kind of trivial (I'm not saying it wouldn't be neat, but I am saying that it seems trivial to knock a platform for not having that).

The 2 themes and wallpaper are platform design decisions, which obviously not everyone is going to love, but it does enhance the whole Metro way of doing things and reduces clutter etc. The point being to bring your info to you as quickly and as cleanly as possible.

It sounds to me that if this is the list of gripes against the OS, WP is in a very good place :)
