I remembered reading a while back that you can't restore your backup if you go CM7. Do we have to flash official, root, cwm and then restore our backups?

-----If it ain't working, try something else. ------
[LG Optimus 3D] gismo918:
Is it still remaining the drain of the battery ?:confused:
[LG Optimus 3D] Meemo23:
It's actually not bad the new relase 20 is far better with battery its been 8 hours since i last charged it and i played plants vs zombies on it for an 30 mins made a few calls and texts. Still have 45 percent left... and my wifi is on when i am home and off when i go out as i have 1gb data allowance a month..
[LG Optimus 3D] Marcovecchio:
Does anyone know if we can now format the external SD card without bricking the phone?
[LG Optimus 3D] raskall:
Wifi hotspot?

Anyone knows if the tethering works in CM7 now? That alone is what made me install ThiaiZ 2.4. I have an EEE pad transformer with wifi only and need a hotspot while on the road.
[LG Optimus 3D] deox91:
Does anyone know what settings i have to use when i want to convert a 1080p sbs 3d video?

I've tried several settings already but the movie is not in 3d, i only see it side by side...

self recorded videos can be viewed in 3d..
[LG Optimus 3D] Meemo23:
Sorry your going to have to go back to stock rom for 3d because cm 7 does not support 3d fully yet.
[LG Optimus 3D] sgnao:
But, are there any significant difference beetween all these Nightlies releases?

Sgnao
[LG Optimus 3D] albert666:
I'm new to this rom, and I like it.. but I miss marked! Is there any way to enable it?
[LG Optimus 3D] Marcovecchio:
Just installed nightly 25. Among the bugs I noticed before, I can see the NITZ one is fixed: now automatic time is correct.

The other bugs (brightness slider, artifacts in quadrant 3D render, 3d camera, HDMI, and Theter), they´re not fixed yet.

EDIT: I meant wi-fi tether (or hotspot) don´t work yet. USB (wired) tether works quite well.
[LG Optimus 3D] albert666:
Another issue I discovered, was that the rom didnt display my contacts stored on my simcard. It was unable to read contacts from it. Installing another rom, contacts show fine
[LG Optimus 3D] johnko1:
I just made a guide for first-time users who want to install cm7.For more detail look on video's description.Also I will post a video how to gain root access

[LG Optimus 3D] tiggerbcn:
Hi good morning, I've been with these roms from several weeks ago and have found several people who have a bug with phone calls when we talk on the phone the sound of the other person can echo, or we hear perfectly but the other person's voice repeats causing an echo.

Have you found someone else?

This we have found several people who wrote in a Spanish forum and they all feel the same and different phone companies.

Sorry for my bad english
[LG Optimus 3D] charlo999:
Only problem i have with nightlies is battery. Only getting 8 hours max
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiv4m:
After much thought regarding the 911 issue with CM7, I have decided to downgrade back to 2.2. Although 2.2 is outdated, it has a better GPS, battery life, and working 911.

What I want to know is how can I wipe everything before downgrading back to stock? This includes all music and various files left around by me throughout the years. I also want to know what the best kernel for 2.2 is in terms of battery life or should I leave it as stock?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
format internal and external sd card under mounts and storage in recovery. Bali kernel
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RensoreK:
I don't think formatting will work because the recovery is updated and trying to install and older 2.2 ROM will complain about broken scripts in CWM. You may have to Odin back if I I'm not mistaken.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugartibbs:
sorry, and not just my opinion, when you start over start clean and odin to stock, 'ghost in the machine', its real
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
Since the op said

I assumed he was planning to odin
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiv4m:
Yep thanks for the help guys. Now I'm on the process of getting Bali on here as a kernel but I don't know which one to pick. The reguler release or the UV or undervolt release.
[HTC Amaze 4G] menacke:
I have just updated my stock amaze yesterday with the wifi calling update. The problems is that I received the wifi calling but gave up my wifi connection completely. Now it will not turn on and just says error. I tried a factory reset to see if the problem would disappear and t-mobile cant even figure out what is wrong with it. They called HTC to resolve the issue and I am supposedly going to here from her within 72 hours from them to resolve the issue but no wifi now is a big problem. can anyone help with the issue?
[HTC Amaze 4G] arodhr13:
I have an issue like this but I have wifi that works but when I enable wifi calling I can receive calls but when I try to make a call on wifi its just dead air like I said I can receive on wifi just can't call out. I called Tmobile and they said the same thing 72 hours and I should get a call or another update they took my imei and some other info saying they will push the update to my phone. We will see
[HTC Amaze 4G] menacke:
Well this is my third day with the problem and still no call or update and this is sorta what I expected. It really sucks but I'm thinking about going to tmo to see if they give me a new one under warrenty

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G
[HTC Amaze 4G] alrosal:
Are you rooted?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Are you rooted?

Do you have QuikSense 2.x.x installed?

If so then you need to flash the kernel and that will get your wifi working again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] FSean:
My Wifi is all but useless since update - My nexus S pulls down 5 megs per sec - the AMAZE is less than 1 on WIFI at home.

Holy crap.
[HTC Amaze 4G] menacke:
no im not rooted i was stock but i went to tmobile store and showed them the problem and they sent out a new phone the next day and i didnt even receive a call back so thanks for the help anyways.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
I don't know why I am sharing this here.

I have just listed my G2x on Amazon and Craigslist.

This phone continues to drop the signal. I am getting calls dropped (is there ANYTHING more annoying than dropping a call - especially when it is an important one?!), signal lost and everything that comes along with it.

NOTHING (nothing!) should overshadow this issue with the phone! Not dual-core, 8MB cam, ICS or battary life.

What isn't clear to me is WHY others are accepting this.

Perhaps though, this is is the reason that the G2x (despite being a phenomenal phone on paper) barely sells online and is hard to sell in general.

Perhaps we (the people who even care enough to join forums and so on), represent the minority.

Goodbye G2x!

I am back to the Vibrant (sadly :(

:mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2xkid:
Dropped calls has nothing to do with the phone. Its your service. Good riddance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
what do you mean it's my service? I am using TMobile. Before this I had the Vibrant - never dropped calls at my house. Now it's happening all the time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g2xkid:
I'm on T-Mobile and have maybe 4 dropped calls since April.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Probably because it isn't as widespread a problem as you're thinking it is. I'm on T-Mobile as well and my G2X gets great signal and call quality.

Not saying it's not a real issue for you, just saying its probably not a widespread issue for the majority of G2X users or I'm sure there'd be about 30 threads about it, all created within about a day of each other and all saying the same thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
You are prob right about that. I don't know how to explain this then. Driving me crazy!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Do you have the newest baseband and a new SIM card?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Get a replacement from T-Mobile or get a loaner of another make/model of phone for T-Mobile and test its connectivity. If you know of any other T-Mobile customers with the same phone and/or a different phone, phone the same numbers from the same location and see what happens.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
What's a baseband and how do I check to find out???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
The baseband controls the phones wireless radios. Go to Settings > About Phone > Baseband version, should say MARCH or JULY somewhere in there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
THANKS! My wife has the Vibrant! she is NOT dropping calls at the house at all.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jufjufjuf:
Baseband deals with the radios in the phone, go to Settings>About Phone

Then post the Baseband Version

EDIT: Too late haha

Sorry to here about your problems anyway, never experienced any of them thankfully :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Thank you

JULY 15

is that good ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
Yeah, the July one is the better one. I would suggest a replacement phone and/or a new SIM card. I have never had a dropped call on my G2x, so it must be a bad phone or SIM card.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
I never knew it could be a SIM issue. I WILL CHECK THAT OUT !!!! Going to the TMobile store right now!

Will update.

Thank you all
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
IT WAS THE SIM CARD INDEED !!!!!

Part of the reason I posted this here, is because I knew the good people of XDA will start a brainstorming discussion.

My other SIM card was very bad looking, and it is now changed to a NEW one. The TMobile representative said that I MUST change my sim card when she saw it.

I AM VERY HAPPY I posted my situation here!!!

No lost calls (did a 20 min call to test it) for now - but obviously will check on that more to confirm

THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR HELP

(and thank you not for the guy that decided to send me a message saying "U think we care"?!)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vmartinez39:
Nice to hear that. Despite the other issues with g2x, I never had dropped calls. Speaker could be better but for calls, phone is reliable.

Another happy g2x :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
(:

thank you!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
UPDATE: The dropping of call continues! Just drop a call 5 times (!!!) within an hour. This morning as well.

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
1. Are you running the stock firmware?

2. Has this issue continued from the time you purchased the phone up until now.

3. Does the issue appear to be location specific? The reason I ask is because you stated it was working after the SIM was replaced then come back 24 hours later saying you had problems again.

4. Have you tried contacting T-Mobile customer support? They most likely won't be able to solve your issue if it is a problem with your handset (beyond trying a SIM swap, they will have you try your SIM in another known working handset typically, to isolate your device) but they will be able to rule out issues with your account, the network, etc.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jayroam:
I haven't seen anyone suggest it, but has the OP tried to do a factory reset? That would be the next thing I'd do. After that, I'd go ahead and try and get a replace from t-mo
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
I WISH I could show you this thing: I always catch it "red handed"! For a split second (sometimes more) the signal will be lost (I will see the little "x" on the signal bar), and then come back again.

I would take a snapshot but not even sure how to take screenshot (:

I was using the stock rom. Then, after yesterady, was under the impression that all works well, flashed to CM7 (i mean - why not?). But now I will flash (AGAIN) to stock to see if it's ROM-related.

I am getting reaching exhaustion...

I do apprecaite this thread and all the members who take the time to write. I know it's not always easy. Thanks

PS - my wife has the vibrant. No dropped calls around the house.

Today, in total, i had (and I counted), 8 dropped calls!

Since I bought this phone from an acquaintance I assume TMobile will not talk to me (i'm on the pre-paid plan). But this phone does have warranty from a 3rd party (i think).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
If you have T-Mobile service, they are obligated to troubleshoot your service but not necessarily your device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
They never really help. Just cancel me by saying - "everything seems to be fine. You may get disconnected of signal is low."
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
That seems a bit out of character, I wonder if they outsourced prepay like FlexPay is now, unless you're on FlexPay.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
So i called again and now this guy wants me to give him my sim card number (long number) and my IMEI number.

But i am thinking - how is this eve related to the signal issues?

is he right? These can be related?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donutman:
I have this problem also. Makes me want to get rid of my g2x as well. Along with the dropped calls and losing signal, data speeds are inconsistent and battery life is horrible. I've tried everything but exchanging or updating the baseband. Rather upgrade than to deal with those. Sucks because i do like this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
SAME and SAME again!!! love it - hate that it's doing it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Swap sim cards with your wife's vibrant and test them for a day. See if the problem moves.

Also make sure your not using WiFi Calling. Its great but not stellar.

If the problem stays with the phone then you have a defective handset. I rarely had issues on my G2x. Replace the phone using your warranty.

-sent from temp HTC Rezound waiting for Galaxy Nexus
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Just returned to Stock Rom! Will try your advice. Really appreciate your help and time on this! Thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Any reason to beleive this has anything to do with the "NETWORK MODE".

Under Settings--Mibile Network Settings --- Network Mode

One can chose

GSM/WCDMA AUTO

WCDAM only

GSM Only

Perhaps chosing GSM Only should have any effect?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
There have been other threads on this issue. The g2x is fine if you have great signal. However if you have marginal signal, it tends to lose signal frequently when other phones do not. I have spent a lot of time troubleshooting this personally. While sim cards and such can be at fault it does not absolve the g2x of any issues.

In my experience, the drops happen during the handoff from edge to 3g and back to edge. If you gave a strong signal the phone will stick with it and thus no drops. If the signal fluctuates however, phones are designed to "hop" to a stronger signal before the old signal is lost. That stronger signal can be another band or the same band on another tower. What is supposed to happen is that the old signal isn't supposed to be dropped until the new signal can be established. On the g2x this handover appears to fail in certain conditions.

If you lock the phone to GSM only you might get fewer dropped calls since that would prevent attempted shifts up to the 3g signal. I honestly found fewer dropped signal events even when forcing wcdma. That would depend on there being sufficient signal at the locked bands of course.

I can personally say, having actually been a T-Mobile tech in the past, that the problem IS the g2x. That doesn't mean there aren't sometimes other issues, but this phone definitely has problems.

Personally, even though I still owe on this phone via the value plan, I plan to get a different phone as soon as I find a new job and can afford to. Dropped calls defeat the purpose of a phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
ASTONISHING, educational, amazing response!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH !!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ridearoundsolo:
Another loser posting a pointless thread, NO ONE CARES that you don't want the g2x anymore
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
What are you calling me a loser for?

Did you not noticed how productive this thread was? I learned a lot from it, and there were serious conclusions that came out of it. and THIS is why I have posted it.

How old are you?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I noticed that the G2X is sensitive to where you hold your hand, just like the iPhone problem. I found that if I hold the phone with my left hand with my thumb on the left edge near the top, the signal strength goes down. I also found that if I put the phone down on anything metallic, the signal strength goes up dramatically. Also, I changed the network settings to WCDMA only and connectivity improved. I am with WIND in Canada which uses the same network frequencies and AWS that T-Mobile uses. Try what I've done and let us know if your phone behaves similarly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
I just noticed something very interesting. I had my WiFi turned off all day. I just got back home, and turned it ON. When I did, the signal got lost!

PERHAPS THIS ENTIRE PROBLEM STEMS FROM A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE WIFI AND THE CARRIER SIGNAL?

I will not keep my WiFi off and see if I get any disconnections. This is interesting!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiaraTheDragon:
where you located ill trade you a droid x2 :P
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Nope! It still happens. Never mind.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
How much are you selling it for? I may be interested...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Just PM me (:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Godspeed123:
ya i would say the service is your problem..not your phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] XMarinE:
I have followed your post and say in my case it was the phone. I replaced the sim, flashed the baseband, updated the RIL ect..only to find out it was a defective phone? I had the July 15 baseband, Android Gingerbread, Unlocked, and multiple attempts at trying different ROM packages. The problem with mine was weird. The "invalid sim card" issue. An x appeared near my bars with no signal...but then again sometimes it would connect? It was a hit or mis issue. I couldn't nail it down to one test or the other because the defectiveness was never consistent. It's weird because I ordered an unlock code from Ebay, waited a day and asked the guy where was my unlock code and he sent it....the weird part is the invalid sim error started the day before I got the code? I don't know if that had anything to do with my issues or not but this was kind of weird? This made me wonder if the unlock code was the issue, but how could it if the phone had the issue before it was physically unlocked? The bottom line is I did an online chat with support and within 5 minutes she said I needed to have a replacement device sent because it was defective. I was thinking to myself, how much and they won't replace a phone that I bought from a guy on Craigslist a few months ago? To my surprise...she said I was covered and they would send one for $20 USD, which was for shipping. Guess what, they sent one and it's working fine...as of 10 days and counting. So in my opinion, all of the try this, try that might work but you'll probably end up getting another G2x or different phone? I have 2 phones...thank goodness...One on a Straight Talk plan $45 Unlimited using a rooted AT&T HTC Inspire 4g...love the screen size, hate the sound and mic. And my Tmobile G2x...fast, cant wait to see if ICS has a better camera and more stable OS phone. Check my posts if you want to see if any of the replies I received can assist you in tracking down your issue, but if you ask me...you need to replace the phone. All of my phones nuances were mentioned above and I repeat, G2x that was unlocked, rooted, ROM and Stock...with 2.3.3, CM7, Froyo 2.2.2, flashed baseband, Update with GetRIL, new smaller gold area SIM, and sim used from another T-Mobile phone. All to no fix on the issue! I also tried the Straight Talk sim (AT&T) which worked in the phone without any problems being unlocked. You could try to unlock your phone and use an AT&T sim or Straight Talk sim from the Nokia E71 only and be trouble free if you like the phone? That was not my case since I have a full T-Mobile plan. I hope your end result gives you satisfaction whether you keep the phone or not...I like mine and if it decides to take a crap again...fool me once, shame on me...fool me twice, shame on you and I'll look elswhere for maybe a HTC Sensation or Nexus S??? Good luck my friend and sorry for the 1 hour quick reply!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
That's a very informative response! I appreciate it very much. I think that these answers help everyone as they are forever here if someone needs them or looks for the same issue. So thank you!!!!

Based on your answer (and others), I have come to realize that my only choice is to find out if this happens with a different G2x, and so in the next two weeks I will be looking for a replacement phone. I will then come back and update this very useful thread.

Again - thank you very much!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I am on my 4th G2X which I got within the first 15 days of when I started my cell phone service with that phone. The previous three G2X phones had hardware problems including one with no network connection. With that one, I tested it with a SIM from someone who has the same phone and it didn't connect either but my SIM worked in their phone. The CSR at the service providers service depot couldn't get it to connect at all either with replacement SIM cards, hardware reset, etc. so I got a replacement which had a different problem, the screen went black when the camera was used so I got another replacement which kept shutting down randomly so I got another phone, the one I now have which has a bit of screen bleed but, otherwise, works well except if I overclock it to 1.5 GHz which crashes it but it runs fine at 1.4 GHz. Also, the phone I have now seems to have better radio sensitivity, it shows more bars than the others did from the same locations.

So, why did I write this? To confirm that it could be the phone and/or the service, and you should thoroughly test any replacement phone, without modifying it, as soon as you get it. Good Luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Thanks for that!!! It seems that LG needs a lesson or two in the making-phone department....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
That I could agree with. My phone was manufactured in late August, so it came pre-loaded with GB and theoretically free of early device issues. However, it even has debris under the "back" button. If it was under the display portion of the screen I would have returned it, but under the "back" button I could deal with.

As far as phone or service, it is true you should troubleshoot all avenues. I may try an exchange for my signal issues, but I wouldn't hold out hope.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
A major updated:

I think we can all learn from my lesson - hopefully this thread will not die without anyone noticing this update:

After buying another LG G2x (today) (for sake of the integrity of this thread - both my G2x's were bought used, but in FLAWLESS condition), I must amaze you all by letting you know that the issue continues!

That is, the lost of signal still takes place!

Amazingly still, I also bought a Galaxy S II. I have been using it for two days with absolutely astonishing signal strength! No dropped calls, full bars, and so on!

I think my case is a living evident of the lack of ability from LG to create a solid phone! PHONE! Not a android device, or a media device. Above all else this is meant to be a PHONE!

I am so very sad to depart from my second G2x (because I love this device in so many ways).

After keeping this thread clean from slang, I must throw in the last comment (with much humor of course):

This phone sucks!

(:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seangprice:
I'm glad you found a phone that meets your needs. I've been using the G2x for six months issue free and I'm very happy with my choice. I do not however agree with your final statement. I believe Samsung makes sub par products. Enjoy your Sammy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
It is unfortunate that you've had such a frustrating and expensive negative experience with the G2X. One can tolerate only so much. I hope you are able to get a decent amount of $ when you sell your G2X. Good luck.
