These posts make me laugh so hard. Ive owned a few Android phones and every phones thread section is riddled with posts like this. Either *cry* HTC wont unlock their bootloader never buy HTC again or *cry* Motorola wont unlock their bootloader never buy Moto again. Or *cry* this *cry* that.

With so many different hardware configurations software configurations and models from all the different venders. Fragmination and slow updates/no updates will always be a problems with Android.

If updates are that big of a deal for you then buy a "Nexus" phone and you will get your updates. If you dont like that solution then most US carriers allow you to upgrade to a new phone every 12-24 months. And most smartphones range from $100-$300 which is not really that bad.

But stop crying because Nvidia wont give you sorce code. Or LG doesnt make good enough stock roms for you. Or HTC/Motorola wont unlock their bootloaders. Do your research before you buy a phone to see if it will be upgradeable by the CM team

I got the G2X and sure the stock 2.2 ROM wasent the BEST out there and i had some random reboots. Nothing to make me go online and cry like a baby though.

Ive put CM7 on it and other then slow GPS lock on. All the problems are gone. I do have some screen bleed but unless i look at my phone from a 170º angle i cant see it so its not a big deal.

If you dont like LG then fine sell your G2X and buy a Samsung HTC Motorola Pantec Nokia or Apple and go away.

Im tired of signing on here and every other thread or post is "*cry* ill never buy LG anything ever agan." or "*cry*Ill never buy Nvidia again"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
You are absolutely right.

I always say, you buy the phone on what it CAN DO, not what you're "hoping" it can do in the future.

You buy a Nexus for a high end phone that ensures you updates and open source. If you don't buy a Nexus and go for something else then that's on you if it doesn't get supported.

It sucks that LG won't update the G2x, but I knew that coming into the phone. Now I just know for sure that my next phone is going to be a Nexus, or at least a phone that has a Snapdragon or TI-OMAP since they release their source.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dserber:
The only problem with your rant is that not all carriers offer a nexus line phone to purchase.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seangprice:
I thought there was a GSM model available? I know T-Mobile doesn't offer it officially but you can buy the Nexus off contract ....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Danishswag:
Last time I checked (admittedly a month ago and I didn't look that carefully), a GSM Galaxy Nexus cost like 650-750 dollars. When phones are released in the US, they tend to cost a fair bit less even when unlocked.

Even though there seem to be no plans for tmo to get it anytime soon, a guy can always hope.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:
I wonder how they ever got ICS to work on HD2 so fast....Its funny because phone is Windows-based to begin with and its already running a pretty much fully working ICS.......great phone and great devs !
[T-Mobile LG G2x] churd83:
Bump for permission :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krolla03:
which is why my second solution was that most US carriers let you upgrade every 12-24 months.

And theres the option of switching to a carrier that does.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:
I buy phones based on support from CM team and Miui, and of course XDA.

ALL phones in stock form suck and manufactures either dont fix issues or simply too slow so you can NEVER depend on them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Chance Ill:
Wrong. LG & T-Mobile just pushed us aside. Plain and simple. We can argue the reasons, but in the end, ( Which T-mobile & LG has already declared for our beloved G2X) it really doesn't matter.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rbern144:
TMo SUX

"I don't think there will be any official ICS from LG or Tmo considering the g2x is already discontinued."

This phone has had bad PR since day 1. I bought this phone on release day, 4:20. Called T-Mobile a few week ago to get a replacement, because of the random shutoffs and battery issues. They told me my warranty was up as of November. My question to them how does 1 year end before 365 days ends. What a bunch of __________. They even tried to tell me to wait till LG sends put an OTA, the last time I tried that I ended up with a brick. I started to ROFLMAO! When she said that.

If you are tired of signing on here, then very simple don't sign in! Im gonna say whatever i want to say LG SUCKS BALLS, NVIDIA SUCKS BALLS, i didn't know how much until i got this phone, if you are one of those people that wants to make lemonade out of everything life gives you then be my guest! I will get a g nexus as a matter of fact ill get 7, one for every day of the week! The hell with it ill get a nexus for everyone that has a g2x and boycotts LG/NVIDIA! LOL

NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cervantesjc:
Well this depression is not that big of a deal, i undusted my little trusty vibrant and installed a fully functional ICS ROM, and i love it.

The only sad thing is that a phone that is a year older than the g2x and is not as powerful has a running ICS rom.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] nycelitemaster:
First of all i said g2x, which falls under optimus series.. tmo ended life doesnt mean lg will not support.wind runs same phone, other few companies uses same fone. Read carefully.. i have been on xda long nuf to distinguish stuff.. and i am developing bunch of stuff for p999.. currently running my own rom, hence i know the diff.. and i do have confirmation from lg to see an update as promised.

As much credibility as I'm sure you have, I'm still going to take the stance of, "I'll believe it when I see it".

It's probably the only way to not be "depressed" about it.

How exactly did LG word it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Well CM9 is only kang'd right now... even on the Galaxy Nexus... and it only adds the notification toggles.

As a previous G2x owner I'm surprised its not ported yet. My tablet has a port but too buggy ATM. When CM9 starts officially spitting out nightlies you guys should be in business again. I remember seeing videos of the G2x running ICS CM9. I wonder why they don't release that source for devs to play with?

I think its a matter of time. But LG is the one to blame here. T-Mobile got burned on that deal just the same. They made a sweet phone but couldn't keep it afloat.

I consolidated 2 cell phones and upgraded through work for the Galaxy Nexus to save money. They pay my cell bill now.

ICS is cool but really looks VERY similar to CM7 lol. Just download the ICS CM7 theme and enjoy. GPU acceleration doesn't really change much. I don't notice much of a difference outside of the settings and whacky moving menu buttons.

Just hang tight.

Android central had an article saying the G2x was voted one of the top 5 worst android phone of 2011 :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redfarsi:
Your right but I believe t-mobile and other providers allow you to upgrade a phone like 1.5 years into your contract. Also, US is a very heavy consumer nation so manufacturers probably expect like 90% of people to switch phones within that two year period, so they just push out new phones and don't look back.

That site can suck hairy balls too. This phone is beast, its the companies like LG and Nvidia that screwed over the g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Lol, you're funny.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 95Z28:
I just verified with T-Mobile last week and Guy told me if I want something before 22 months I might get a very minor discount, but basically on my own.

Which is actually OK, my phone already does more than I require, and I'm old school in the fact that I still prefer my laptop for heavy duty work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
Out of the two groups I know of working on ICS for the G2x (CM9 and another separate group of devs), neither have the audio working as of yet. This is one of the primary reasons that we don't have access to a build of ICS for the G2x at this time, as a phone is basically useless without the audio (for the purpose of being a phone). Also among the list of things not working is the camera. These things are being made far more difficult as we have no access to pre-existing ICS drivers for our hardware, or source code for the headers/drivers. Without these, all ROMs for firmware past 2.3.3 has had to have some pretty involved mods made to it just to make things work that are necessary for the function of the phone (this included 2.3.7 for CM7). We may see the G2x go the same way as the Vibrant (T-Mobile US' variant of the Galaxy S), as CM had to drop support for the phone due to the inability to get 911 working.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] loganmc10:
Wait a sec get your facts straightened out friend, it was just the Galaxy S Vibrant, T-Mobile's version, which had support dropped, all other Galaxy S variants are still supported.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Calm down. Was an easy mistake to make.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JDenson77:
MYSpace??? For Real???

Really you still use MySpace? And you want someone to come to your page and listen to your lame ass music? Thats almost as lame as someone *****en and moaning about not haveing ICS on a G2X.... Also lame even creating this forum in the first place.... some moderator please do us all a favor and come and shut it down. I wasted Ten min of my life looking for something useful, because someone has a hurt boo boo..... By the way can I get an ETA on ICS rom please =)

I am depressed about this phone. Not just ICS but everything with this phone was suppose to be great and it simply wasn't. I am done with this phone very soon.

It looks like I am getting the new Samsung-Glaxy-S2 Super-AMOLED-PLUS-720p-HD-Blaze-full 42 Mps-4G. Or at least I think thats the full name of it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kolyan:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackpbj:
I was only half joking. Tmobile is getting a new GS2 variant called "blaze". and guess what? At&t is getting ANOTHER GS2 skyrocket called "skyrocket hd". which has a 720p screen like the Galaxy Nexus. So i guess there is a galaxy s2 that has a 720 screen after all, lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
... What?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
This type of post is a great example of what is wrong with the G2x forum. Why are you so butt hurt that someone made a blog site? Close down the forum? WTF is wrong with you? News flash boy wonder...You do not have to log on here. You don't like the site then get the f*ck out. Good grief... There needs to be an age requirement or at the very least a maturity requirement. Hopefully an XDA mod kicks your whiny ass to the curb.

To the guy with the blog...It's a little rough around the edges, but I commend you for trying. Thanks for sharing it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Exel:
Gosh, this forum is almost better than watching some ABC Family TV show. Grow up, guys. If anyone can make ICS work, it's the CM team, and any dev with some knowledge can most likely join the team and help out. Now as for users, we all need to learn one very small but important thing, patience. CM7 for the Vibrant was indeed dropped, after months of devs trying to find a fix for the e911 issue, someone finally did. That phone had the worst support ever from Samsung/T-Mobile.. moral of the story is, hang tight, be patient, devs are smart, they know what they're doing, this phone has great potential, LG just didn't come through for it, that's not to say devs won't, either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] keefer7:
ICS isnt really much to be depressed about i had it on my vibrant and it really wasnt much yea its ok but the roms we have for G2X are so much better IMO

not going to say if it come out i wont get it yea i probably will but i can wait till then and wait for a stable release of one

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subratamm:
Hi pals

Phone had 1.6 with o2 branded rom.

I decide to upgrade with QDL Tool, everything went fine in upgrade process.

Now phone not goes further dell logo, a black screen appears.

1/2 min later if i press power phone runs ok. but each time i start phone hang at black screen.

later upgraded with O2 stock rom with stock recovery, but problem remain same.

[B]Streak_319_12792_21.pkg + recovery.img [/B]

also tried to upgrade with retail stock rom

[B]Streak_351_15609_00.pkg + recovery.img [/B]

After all procedure phone condition is still same, after a dell logo only black screen for a long time.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurdo_kolene:
Can you go into recovery or fastboot mode?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subratamm:
Hi,

Yes, i can access both mode by pressing respective key. even phone turns on runs ok, just after dell logo comes a black screen which make unknown delay to turn phone on.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurdo_kolene:
Like i suspected, you don't have a bootanimation or you have it replaced with a non-functioning one, hence the black screen upon boot.

You can download the stock Dell bootanimation from here

place it in /system/media and everything should be ok.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subratamm:
as i said in my earlier post, phone works fine.

as you may know, if you flash a phone with QDL Tool a very colorful dell logo u can see.

i ve another Streak flashed with same tool working fine.

The difference between those 2 handset is

Upgraded 2.2 From using QDL Tool to 2.2 = Working Fine

Upgrade 1.6 O2 From Using QDL Tool to 2.2 = Black Screen

Hope my made my self clear.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurdo_kolene:
If you have ADB (haven't used QDL, so i don't know if it depends on having ADB), hook up the streak, have the screen on and on the PC type

adb shell bootanimation

If the screen turns black briefly and then lights up again, refer to my previous post.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subratamm:
Tried this, everything works as u said,

When i put this command on CMD i can see a very colorful logo.

any other solution ? idea ?

You should work on your English skills or offer it in multiple languages.

Choose what you want: Transformer 16GB, Transformer 32GB, Transformer Prime 32GB, or Transformer Prime 64GB. Find a store that carries it, online or locally, buy it. There are separate docks for the Transformer and Transformer Prime and you will need the correct dock; the GB's don't matter to the dock.

Anyone have (or willing to download the free) The New Yorker app apk for Kindle Fire from Amazon App Store?

5 device login limit with New Yorker App

By the way, discovered that my problem logging in had to do with a login counter that tracks the number of devices you can use with your print subscription account. Well, I'd plugged in my print subscription info on a number of Kindles, including two of my own (one replacing the other I returned for display flaw) and one for a friend and two Android devices I managed to copy the apk to to run the app. On all of my own devices I'd done factory restores before remembering to logout of the New Yorker app, so apparently their subscription server believes I'm still logged in on those devices, which explains why I couldn't/still can't login on a new device. Fortunately my roommate offered up his subscription info and I can login with that - and I'm now aware that I need to logout if I wipe any given Android device on which I'm running the app.

I emailed New Yorker customer support and Amazon as well with no luck getting them to reset the "device count" as described on their help FAQ. They ask me to call and I haven't wanted to be bothered doing so but probably will at some point...
