[T-Mobile LG G2x] whealy:
The manufacturer gets a financial “ding” when phones are returned. They get to have a say so in what is an appropriate exchange unfortunately. To me, if they have a fix for the issue and you don’t upgrade it would be your issue. But them saying we are losing too much money on this issue, we now declare that we will fix it (with no completion date in place) to prevent exchanges is deceitful. There really needs to be federal regulation that covers this. To me, these circumstances mean there should be a refund as opposed to an exchange if they want to take this approach. They have rendered the phone useless and have admitted that it is a design issue and not a hit or miss manufacturing issue. The problem is there is no down said to their declaration that they are working on a fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
**** if there was an update to fix it i would jump all over it lmao. all i care about now is what lg is gonna say on the 1st of december. i hope they tell everyone that the g2x will get ics and that it will fix rebooting issues lmao
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Deleted member 2747343:
the only problem is i have screen bleeding everything else can be fixed with a custom rom but this screen is so ugly.. 5 bleeding spots on the corners... :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
yes sounds like BS, about the only thing I am sure that LG told T-Mobile is that the customers that are returning 10 phones for a screen bleed issue. LG would basically be saying, you are having customers abuse the warranty.

This guy seem to have messed up his phone by not knowing how to root his phone, flashing the over the air ROM, through the LG provided program might help.

He might need to have the his dad the account holder call up T-Mobile, he should at least try the stock phone and remove the EB rom, or try BAKA ot Tengi

I think he is part of the OccupyLG .... power to the techno-noobs
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
Need to reread the Facebook post. It states December but no date. The way LG works it could be the end of the month if at all before they let anyone know about the update.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] batcheze:
I just went through the warranty exchange dance with T-Mobile. While I was able to get a sensation the only phone they offered my wife's g2x replacement was a sidekick 4g....totally not a fair replacement! Single core and 3mp camera....crap. so I took the g2x and rooted it and fixed it myself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
There is a fix. Its called CM7 or weapon.

My phone hasn't reset by itself or locked up in months. The stock rom is garbage. Why does everyone torture themselves by forcing themselves to stick to garbage?

LG G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Asus Transformer - 3.7 Revolver OC/UV
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
yeah they use to trade it for a sensation 4g but i got real pissed and called them and told them i have other issues with my phone and they replaced it for another g2x which is ok with me cause i like the phone just hate the phone shutting down and having to pull the battery all the time. it gets old. ive had a few g2x's before and didnt have this issue even with the stock rom. but them trying to give ur wife a

POS sidekick 4g is a joke. that phone is ugly and looks like a kid/teenagers phone lmao.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
i did put cm7 and it still didnt work. ive tried a few roms and nothing worked. also i dont overclock the phone since there is no point cause its already fast as it is. its the device since ive had other g2x's and never had this problem. its getting replaced tomorrow so no big deal. i would never stick to garbage lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redfarsi:
You can still get a new phone, just not with that excuse simply because they will send you a replacement phone and you will still have the issue, which will lead to you wasting customer support time.

Try another excuse to get a new phone, I bricked mine because they wouldn't replace it in July due to terrible screen bleeding.

Also, have you tried WWW.cyanogenmod.com?

Edit: I see you tried cm. Are you still on the old baseband then?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] substanceneil:
I have always found escalating to a manager or just trying again with a different rep results in a different story. I have on my 4th g2x and this one is finally working to specification.

You might consider trying a ROM based on the leaked 2.3.4 LG build. I am using Tsugi as my daily driver. There are still a few bugs to be worked out, but over-all this ROM is smoother and faster than 2.3.3 or 2.3.7/CM based ROMs. I think LG probably worked out a few kinks themselves for the 2.3.3 --> 2.3.4 update.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Honestly I keep half-hoping something will go wrong with my phone so I can warranty it with a clear conscience.

See.... day 2 of ownership, I was at the junkyard under a car... phone slipped out of pocket... I stood up.. girlfriend was trying to say something and pointing...

Under my foot was my phone. I was standing on it. 260 lbs of me, phone, limestone junkyard dirt.

Thankfully the phone didn't break, but there are two very noticeable scratches on the bottom of the screen... enough so that I couldn't exchange it for a Sensation 4g under buyer's remorse, which I was about to do due to signal issues...

Thing is, my phone doesn't seem to have any of the problems that people report having. It is otherwise the perfect G2X... except for the scratches.

So.... it would be nice if you know, the volume rocker quit working, or the speaker blew, or something ... so I could justify telling t-mobile to swap it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] byt3b0mb:
i had random reboot issues too, even with custom roms, and what i found fixed it once and for all, was to format both internal and external storage - then flash cm7 or whatever rom you want to use, then add your data back to the storage. no more reboots whatsoever.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dameon87:
The problem is that regardless this does not fix the issue for everyone. And while we are a specific group of people on XDA; what about all the other people out there that just use stock? Not everyone reads xda, or downloads and installs custom roms, mods, etc. We are a very small portion of the users.

I for one had a random lockup last night on CM nightly 201. My phone overheats to the point where it is hot to the touch, and I have to pull the battery.

Granted these don't happen very often; it's still a very large problem.

Not trying to be an ass, but people do need to stop "just accepting" the way a phone was released, when it clearly has major issues. I can understand if LG were actively developing and releasing patches, etc. But they aren't.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
Random rebooted do happen to me. Its rare but they do happen on cm7 nightlies.

Ay night I.charge the phone. Next morning sometimes I have to pull the battery to make it work

It helps that I reboot the phone every 24 hours. Used to care if my g2x could run 200 plus hours like my g2. Its not reliable. GPS locks are slow.

But, despite all this the phone is fast. Just live with it. Only problem bugging me is lock/freeze on overnight charging.

Other than that it it rebooted its because I messed around other it too much. Not defending just accept that the phone has issues

Also like you, I do secretly want my phone to go kaboom!!! So I can exchange it for something else. Sensation, maybe mytouch 4g slide. Don't feel like pissing customer reps off for a silly little exchange. Chances are.might get a worst phone with real issues.

I hope ics fixes whatever issues are left. Cm7 is great. Still a fast phone better than some HTC devices.

But I digress.......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NeKr0MAtiK:
Question about your signature pic.

s10shane, I see the download speeds of about 26mbps on your sig pic, are those your actual speeds? If so, how are you achieving this? I've tested my speed for the past couple of days with the same speed test you're using (speedtest.net) and never achieve anything greater than 215kbps. I'm using a G2x on stock GB 2.3.3.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
+1 This

Thats the proper steps for moving to CM7. If you don't, then you carry garbage with you and the problem moves across roms.

CM7 updates EVERY SINGLE NIGHT so just because you tried it once doesn't mean it won't the next day.

Also, I agree that NOT EVERYONE hacks their phones and the general population bla bla bla. While this is 100% true, it doesn't apply for people here in the forums. People that have SIGNED up and visit here, are smart enough to know there is a fix and something can be done about it.

Ultimately, LG should fix these things but I don't think coming here and complaining will fix anything if you just shoot down everyone's suggestions. Some people are hell bent on staying on the stock software and instead of using KNOWN true methods of fixing the problem, they continue to torture themselves and others. Anyone on this forum who still has reboot issues have no one else to blame but themselves </harsh>.

Tips for correction:

Make sure you factory default (several times), clear cache, and format SYSTEM. Flash CM7 and GAPPS then do it all factory default, clear cache, and format system again.

LG put out a sweet phone that just falls on its face unless you are willing to fix it. The G2x is a hackers dream. It sucks you have to hack it to make it bearable but that is the cards we've all been dealt.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
thats the speed of my pc internet not my phone lol. the fastest speed i got on my g2x was about 5-6mbps because i was in a 4g area.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] coreycollins3066:
LG was responsible for that lousy update to Gingerbread that froze my phone in the white update software screen. They know they are creating crappy software for the phone. They should put out a good firmware upgrade instead of rejecting phone exchanges. They apparently have lousy customer care. But hey, what can you expect from a bunch of South Koreans.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
Thanks to those bunch of south koreans you (and I) got one of the finest pieces of hardware in our hands... so careful with the RACISM gringo malagradecido!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
well i got the g2x replaced no problem and i just traded my g2x for a mytouch 4g slide.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kharnage:
I called them yesterday and they're sending an exchange in the mail already. I don't know why you couldn't get an exchange. The only downside is that I have to wait 10 days for shipping.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
enjoy that mt4g slide... aside from the camera the specs on that phone stink, especially with no development.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
they wouldnt exchange it at first because i was *****en about rebooting and the phone shutting down. i had to come up with something else so they would replace it. but idk why u have to wait 10 days for shipping. mine came with ups 1 day shipping. lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
well the hardware specs are the same as the sensation 4g and the camera is pretty badass plus the keyboard is kinda nice. the phone is a bit small for my liking but its all good. i see it this way. at least my phone is more dependable then my g2x was. i dont have to worry about rebooting or the phone shutting down when it feels like it. no roms fixed it so i was like **** this im sick of it and decided the mytouch 4g slide is good enough for now. plus i got a straight trade for a new mytouch 4g slide so that was a plus for me. as for development there isnt much here either plus all i care about is ics. so im sure someone will get it working on the mts4g like the CM team. thats the only rom i care about having.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Development has only slowed down to a crawl until ics releases, then this place will be flooded with new roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kharnage:
Wait really? Is there a way to change it now? Right now it just says processing order. What did you say to get them to ship it one day?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Every time I had my MT4G exchanged (which was like 5 times) they always tell me to "expect 7-10 business days" for shipping. But then the phone always shows up within 48 hours or under lol. So beats me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kharnage:
Does your thing say processing information though?

I called and found out why it's going to take me 10 days. I don't have insurance on my phone so they send it ground shipping and not air.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
Oh ok that sucks. I have insurance so they send it next day shipping.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kharnage:
It's alright (: I actually purchased a different phone from T-Mobile using the 2 year contract I sold that, purchased a Nexus one, sold that, got a G2, sold that and got a G2x. I got the phones from Amazon so considering they're actually replacing a phone I did not purchase from them is pretty cool.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
dude i only bought 2 phones from tmobile and ive had at least 10 different phones over 3 years lol. tmobile always replaces my phones that i never buy from them. i always get my phones from craigslist. i just trade phones with other people. as long as the phone is under one year old they should replace it cause they all have a 1 year manufacture warranty lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
Well I just got another g2x plus some cash for that crappy mt4gs lol. that phone sucked pretty bad

What gives?????? Lmao
[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
Lol the phone was way to slow for me and the screen was way to small for my liking. So far I haven't found a faster phone then the g2x out the box lol.. but I'm sure the g2x will get ics first. Lol also u weren't lying when u said the development was dead for that phone lmao

[HTC Desire S] mikkelm40:
Hey,

EDIT!: I restored one of my backups with ROM Manager (Which still could restore ROMs? O.o) and i got my root access back! =)

Sorry if theres already a thread about this somewhere which Google haven't been able to find.

About a month ago i successfully rooted my phone using revolutionary. I tried out a few ROMs and ended up with MIUI 1.11.25, and suddenly i lost root access. Im not sure when this happened, it might have been when i updated from MIUI 1.11.18 to 1.11.25, which i did a couple of days ago,(I wiped dalvik cache and flashed with ROM Manager since the buildt in updater didn't work) or when i tried to update Busybox with an app from the market... :/

Weird thing is, Superuser runs perfectly normal, while almost every other root app i have tells me i need root access to use the application. I tried updating and installing the Su zip file (Binary?) and updating Superuser, but it didn't work :(.

Another weird detail is that root checker says "Congratulations! You have root access!" While ROM Manager can't run fix permission.

Should i reflash my ROM or a backup? Or is there some weird simple fix to this (Please!)?

Im not a wiz at rooting so if your able to, please put it in simple words ;)

Thanks,

Mikkel

The Purpose of this Thread is to provide how long it took for you to get your GN phone from the time you got notification it was going to be shipped until actual delivery. This will then archive all shipping info from all suppliers in one thread

Please provide in this Manner:

An Example :

From Phone4you in UK to USA Shipping notice Nov-16... delivered Nov-22

If you had a customs issue then post this way :

From Handtec in UK to Trinidad Shipping notice Nov-16... Arrived in customs delivered Nov-22 released and deliver Nov-24

This will help everyone get an idea of how long are the real shipping times and hopefully lower anxiety.......;):cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Manacit:
Handtec (UK) to West Coast US

I got the tracking # yesterday the 29th, but I didn't think it would ship until the 30th (today). Handtec paid courriers to take my package to the nearest FedEx airport, where it actually shipped out the 29th, and is out for delivery now. Check this timetable out:

It'll end up arriving about 24 hours after fedex picked the package up in the UK!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Q.Entity:

Can I use Chevron to unlock my device?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiliyo:
it means you need to swipe up the lock screen and enter your password (pin)

you can't deploy apps when the screen is locked

you will also need to unlock your phone (if you haven't done so) using a developer account, or chevron's wp labs

[Xperia Play Accessories] typikal82:
just an FYI

I think this link should work for us Verizon customers http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=refineByPhone&phoneId=5643

basically you can get

The SE Dock (DK300) for $14.97 (its $30 on Amazon)

The Silicon Snap on Hard Cover for $9.97 (I could never find it on ebay, and this one is not like the cheap plastic ones you get from there)

Also the OEM battery cover is $10, not sure if thats a deal but I saw it's $18 on ebay. Mine is all scratched up from sliding the phone on my desk and countertops over the past few months, it doesnt even say XPERIA anymore, just XPEP

And FREE 2 day shipping.

I already got my stuff in, the boxes are all Verizon branded, not SE OEM. The dock had a $29.99 price tag and the hard cover had a $24.99 price on it, lol. Guess it's on clearance.
[Xperia Play Accessories] ozzmanj1:
Awesome, thanks for the heads up. Been thinking about buying the media dock. Do you know if taking the online ad with the online price into the store they will match their online price?
[Xperia Play Accessories] typikal82:
When I first saw the price I tried going to the store but no one had any of this stuff in stock. Free 2 day shipping is fantastic though.
[Xperia Play Accessories] netizenmt:
Man I appreciate this post. I immediately went and ordered the dock. I had one for my LG Ally and I used it every day, so this is a great deal and a great time to buy.
[Xperia Play Accessories] Spectre51:
Just curious....did Verizon not include the dock when u got the phone? Only ask cause I got one with my AT&T play. Sucks if they didn't.

Sent from my iPhone 4s
[Xperia Play Accessories] netizenmt:
Nope - Verizon packages together the phone, the battery, the USB cable, the charger end and a cable to allow non-Sony Ericsson headsets to work with the play. Of course, since I got my Play free with a 2-year contract renewal, I can't really complain.
[Xperia Play Accessories] 91ludesit:
Thanks, I bought two!

Got my dock today, and it works sweet! Good deal at 50% off, I would never have paid full price for it.
[Xperia Play Accessories] TProfit:
Ordered mine today, supposed to get it in 2 days with free shipping. This will be the other part to one of my xmas presents. Bought the Xperia Play as a gift (12 year old boy). I'm having fun playing with it till then though lol... Wish it was dual core and beefed up specs and I might have kept it for myself. :D
[Xperia Play Accessories] netorino:
Is it possible to buy without being a verizon customer? Do I have to use a number or can I just buy from there and ship to a US address? I might get someone to bring me something if they're still doing free 2 day shipping :)

Thanks
