It totally depends where you live. Here in Denver Verizon is king, but T-mobile has faster data speeds than Verizon. Sprint and AT&T aren't very good here. On VM most of the time data does not work and I can sometimes call out when in buildings like Walmart, Target, etc. The Optimus V was an excellent beginner phone to using Android and I love Android because of it. But I need a reliable data connection for work so VM has to go. I refuse to pay Verizon's insane monthly prices and I'll never use them. AT&T claims to have spent a few million on network upgrades here recently so I don't know if that's helped anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
Oh, I totally understand it depends on the area. I'm just saying from my personal experience, Virgin was awesome.

And I think AT&T has the same kind of prices as Verizon. A few weeks ago, I was looking at all the carrier's websites to see how they compare in prices with the same or equivalent plans. For the same data and same amount of minutes, Verizon and AT&T were both $109 for what I would have needed. Sprint was way cheaper than both with T-Mobile being $10 more.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Superorb:
Yup, monthly plan fees are outrageous. I will never sign a contract again. $109 a month for cell phone service? Are they crazy? Why the hell do people pay that? Places like the UK pay less than $20 a month for service. I know there's less area for the carriers to cover, but there are also a lot less subscribers in general too. And, everything in the rest of the world is GSM and you own your phones, no contracts.

Some people need to learn how to budget. My family of four has a monthly bill of 120
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
I'm currently spending my summer in Lebanon, and you need to see how people buy their phones here... They don't care about the price... My cousin dropped $900 on the iPhone 4 when it first came out. God knows how much they'll spend on the iPhone 5.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Superorb:
$900?!?! What?! Does money grow on some tree that I'm not aware of over there?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
Sounds like your family of four is either sharing two phones or only one person of the four has a smart phone.

My next phone will be the Galaxy S Blaze Q so long as the specs are decent. So sick of the touch screen fad. People either forget or never experienced the pleasure of a physical keyboard.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Yeah same, people over there pay 350 for a vibrant. My cousin bought a 4s for around 1100 because he really wanted it. Since ur gonna plan on spending ur time there. Buy a bunch of vibrants or captivates for like 100 each and make some profit. Then buy the "good" international phones they have that are better then the phones here. U should bring me back a note 2 ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Superorb:
I absolutely had to have a physical keyboard a few years ago. Then when I got my first Android phone I quickly got over the physical keyboard. They add unnecessary bulk, and they're a lot slower than something like swype. It's just one more thing to break too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
There is nothing faster than a physical keyboard. This is the only non qwerty phone i have own and i will never buy another. I also never had a keyboard break so thats a silly argument, also i always add extended batteries to my phones so bulk isnt a worry. I can easily type out and email with a qwerty phone because i can actually see the whole screen with out having the keyboard on the screen. Also i can type on a qwerty with out looking down making it much easier to multi task. Touch screen keyboard will never compare to actually having buttons when it comes to typing long messages. I tried all the different on screen keyboards and non compare to how happy i was with a physical one. Not to mention how much easier it is to play games on emulators when you have a physical keyboard.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Superorb:
Different strokes for different folks :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
You know which keyboard was amazing? The one on the blackberry pearl and HTC shadow, where there's two letters per key. Such fast typing. Anything similar on Android?

Trying touch pal.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
I never got used to the pearl keyboard but the blackberry curve 8300 series where my favorite. I can do 60 wpm and about the same speed as touch typing with fewer mistakes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dark ma++er:
Windows Phone 8 seems exciting...

... so I think I am going to wait for those to emerge in September before making a decision to upgrade. I love Android (hate this G2x, thanks for nothing LG) but am very interested in the buzz around everything windows right now. Looks like Microsoft may have found innovation again. Anyone else waiting on Windows Phone 8?

How's the storage space, I use mine for a music player as well, so I was wondering about this, I have been going back and forth with the S2 because the S2 has a SD slot
[T-Mobile LG G2x] solidbau5:
Patience

In 4 months or so, the next Nexus should be available. While we don't get all the fancy JB features, CM7 is very stable on our G2x. It's downright fast compared to many other android phones.

Too bad we never got an official ICS update, we'd wouldn't have this dilemma if it wasn't for LG's lack of support.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zachpozniak:
Sorry for the late reply, 16 gb. If you are someone who puts a lot of movies on your phone you may be out of luck but I have a good 1,000 songs on my phone with 8 gb free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
That's good to know. I'll need to show my mom that. When she originally got her G2x, it was because it had the highest megapixel camera available.

It looks like I may have to pass on getting Nexus, though. My Xbox 360 is getting worse with overheating and I won't be able to get a new phone and a new Xbox. I don't play it too often and it doesn't always overheat so we'll see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Superorb:
IS it the console or the power brick that's overheating? You could always fab up a fan setup that keeps things cool. Either cut a hole in the console or in the brick and some vents to allow airflow.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
I'm honestly not sure, but considering all I've done to keep the console cool, it's probably the power brick. I've never thought to check it. Last night, I had my Xbox sitting on top of a tray of ice and had a cooling pad on top of it and with two fans blowing on it and it overheated after only an hour or so. Earlier than night it wouldn't stay on for more than twenty minutes. My Xbox has been hit or miss since I moved into my new appointment in February (and it is noticiably warmer in the apartment). I can play for hours on some days (without turning on the fans that I have facing my Xbox) and never get a single overheat. On some nights, like last, it'll just randomly overheat and be unplayable for the most part.

I'll put my power brick somewhere with more air flow tonight when I get home and see if that helps any. I've never thought to check the power brick, but that just might be it. I have a first generation (got on release day with the silver disc tray) so it's old, but these overheating problems are relatively new and only started after I moved so we'll see. I just want to play Skyrim. >_< I really don't want to buy a new Xbox unless I absolutely have to, although I wouldn't mind so I could have one that outputs to HDMI.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Superorb:
Blowing air onto a closed brick/console won't do much if the hot air is building up inside. You need a way to get the hot air out. I know it may look ghetto, but if the console is past its warranty period cutting a few inch hole on one side for the fan and another few small slots on the other side could be all you need. try sticking the brick off the floor and keep 4"+ space on each side of it. If that doesn't work you can try putting a ziplock baggie full of ice on top of the brick since cold air drops.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
It's been out of warranty for YEARS. ^_^ I know blowing the fans wasn't much, but it was something and it did seem to be useful to at least some extint. Where exactly would you recommend putting those holes?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Just find someone who's selling a used 4GB Slim console and swap your hard drive into it. I managed to pick up a lightly used Xbox 360 Slim for $70. ^_^
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
U can't swap out the original hard drive with the new ones. They are completely different sizes.

PS. Never ever take any advice from fatality, 'she' plays battlefield ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PaKii94:
ill sell u my xbox :p its just been sitting there collecting dust
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ssuds:
Yes you can...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKnaixPCsns

And if you want, you can get a hard drive shell and put it in that... But that's only if you want, it will work fine without it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hard-Disk-D...038?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ebf911d16
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
That's what microsoft wants you to think... If you remove the hard drive housing from both models (fat and slim), you'll see it's just a 2.5in SATA Drive... The slim has regular SATA connectors so you can just plug in the raw hard drive... But I bought an Xbox 360 Slim HDD enclosure for $0.99 on Amazon and it works PERFECTLY. I even used a 320GB Western Digital Scorpio Blue HDD to create my own 320GB HDD!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
I'll need to check those links when I get home. Sites are blocked at work and my phone barely has reception here. >_<

But if I can get my 120 GB harddrive to work with the 4GB 360 console, that would be a really sweet deal. I don't need the 250 GB they're offering now and 4 GB obviously isn't enough for anything besides game saves and maybe a few demos.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
I never knew. Don't matter I haven't played in 2 years. I also have the original Xbox which I got on launch with the chrome disc tray
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zoppp:
Exactly what I did XD

Sent From My Handheld Portal Device
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Superorb:
That depends. If you fab up a fan in the brick you'd want to put the fan on one of the long sides and the slots/holes on the other end of the long side. That way the air flows from one side all the way through the brick to the other side. If no fan then you'd put the holes on the top since warm air rises. Then maybe a few holes toward the bottom to draw in fresh air.

Or you could just buy a newer one and swap drives :)

Buying the unlocked Nexus next week after buying he Nexus 7 and playing with it. My concerns: no expandable storage (with drive and play store this shouldn't be a huge issue) and the camera (I have read conflicting reports on the camera, even read an article that accused Samsung of purposefully sabotaging the camera). I really think the G2X would have been great if it had been made by another manufacturer.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arpruss:
I am wondering whether to upgrade from my E4GT to the S3, but I worry that I would really miss the search button. I am used to holding down the search button to get a list of my ten favorite apps (using my free FastLaunch app, in Google Play) at any time. This way if, say, I want to switch the audio from the speaker to the earpiece for listening to ebooks in public without headphones or switch screen colors or do some other common function, I can just get the relevant app popping up on top of whatever else I am doing, do what I need to do, and press back once to go to what I was doing before.

Is there any way to remap, say, a long-hold of the menu button or of the back-button to do something useful? With root, of course. (I assume the fsdebug exploit still works.)

I know that there is stuff like Wave Launcher where you wave the phone and it pops up a list of common apps, but I think that would get annoying fast, plus the use of the accelerometer will eat up batteries. I really like launching things with hardware keys...

Hey guys, earlier I managed to sucessfully unlock the bootloaders and thought i might try to install one of DoomLords Kernals, the Kernal initially loaded and I went to install the wifi module zip. Afer I did that, I tried to reboot but the phone was not rebooting so I thought instead I would try to relock the bootloader anyway. I happened to have installed one img file from a video on Youtube regarding the Xperia S.

I think I might have installed the wrong img file and now I and now I can only enter the fastboot. Whatever I do i cannot get back into the system. I flashed a generic stock rom 2.3.4 just incase I had lost the system files, once I connect the phone to the computer the PC Companion seems to recognise the phone but I do not see anything?

What have I done wrong here and how do I fix this problem!!?!

I'm running the RC2 and i can't find a changelog for the stable version. I realise ofcourse it will be more stable but i'm wondering what actually changed.
[LG Nitro HD] 996gt2:
Gapps (the latest 4/29 version) does not seem to be properly installing. It will flash in CWM, but apps like Gmail will not actually show up afterwards. I have installed Gapps many times while flashing various ROMs, and have never before had this issue.

Edit: tried 3 times, no dice. Going back to V20C official ICS.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Gmail isn't included in the ICS Gapps package. Get it from the Market, geez.

Instagram

Just installed it, everything seems to be the same. But instagram still borks my phone using it. Not sure why it only works on CM10. Hope there isn't any other apps that kill my phone.

Thank you for the stable release. I honestly like CM9 more than official ICS. But the increased vibration and some apps killing the OS kills it for me.

I'll still donate, I appreciate the effort you developers do. It's almost as if you guys care for the phone more than the actual company.
[LG Nitro HD] 996gt2:
I stand corrected. I remember Gapps, Youtube, Maps, etc being with the Gapps pack, but now it seems like only the Play store and Google talk are?
