It is. Verizon, CDMA. AT&T Sprint and T-Mobile are GSM( not surre about Sprint. Something with an S is CDMA also.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
Sprint is also CDMA.

To clear some stuff up. Yes, the R800x does have a sim slot. BUT it is not hooked up & our phones are hard coded for CDMA.

PS. Thread moved to Q&A

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
Will wifi still work if you flash a gsm rom to a cdma phone? I assume it will since wifi seems to be a kernel issue and I'd keep the cdma kernel but I'm afraid.

I also don't use the phone on a carrier network.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
If you install a gsm kernel on a cdma rom you will get stuck in a bootloop. But if use a cdma kernel on a gsm rom you will get stuck with a blackscreen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] garymeg:
Hi all, I seem to have a bit of a problem, this is not to a perticular rom but all that I have tried

The problem is, when the battery goes flat and the phone goes off all data, apps and some system files disappear, if I power off and restart/ remove battery( not tried for long) system starts OK

Have I missed something when installing?

Using clk to install

Partition size is at 5/200/5 recommended by rom

Device is EU HD2

Many thanks

Gary

in cLK did you enable the ExtROM option? enabling this causes data loss on reboot.

otherwise try using Power off then start phone instead of doing a Reboot from Android, sometime ago I had issues and rebooting caused data loss.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
I had the same problem as yours, this is happening due to bad blocks on your nand.

My solution:

Installed clk black edition by kokkotas (you can find the latest version here http://www.mediafire.com/?nhyausx0p5whu#tzg7whl9wwaih )

from within clk menu formated all partitions which also marked bad blocks as not used.

Try that and let me know.

btw 8 bad blocks = 1 MB so make sure you leave more space for the partitions

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kwes1020:
Well as you all may know, LG claims korean devices will get ics. We have been holding our breathe for a long time, suprised we are not all dead yet. Regardless, what does everyone think about the g2x and the current development that is going on? I myself am quite frustrated with it. I can get jellybean to build but it is still very much broken, and I refuse to release something that turns my device into a paperweight. I will open source my stuff before too much longer, just to see what others can do, but I do not see many people, deving, modding or even themeing anymore.

I personally like my g2x it stomps my galaxy nexus in quadrants (which means nothing, I just like the big numbers) but it also seems to handle games alot better. I have been through 6 defective ones but, I still hang on to it. I have sold all my other devices besides my nexus and my g2x.

I am sure I got off on the wrong foot with some people, however everything I said came true. Certain teams claimed other teams work as their own and refused to submit their minute changes upstream as required by the gpl they claim protects their rebranded work and now all further development has stopped. The more people that work on something the better off the chances are for success but yea.....anywho

This is not intended to be a flame thread or an i told you so thread. This is intended to find out what everyone thinks of the current development and state of their phone. I want to know what the average user would like to see. What is everyone looking for besides the perfect jellybean/ics rom because none of them will be perfect untill LG gets off its ass.

I am getting a Samsung Galaxy III when I come back from vacation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
I don't mind if I don't get ICS, cm7 is stable as hell (using kameask or however you spell it), plus faux keeps up with kernels.

V6 super charger makes it twice as snappy, and testing out swapper again just to see.

But regardless, this phone does everything it needs to do at a very good pace. I don't mind if it doesn't get ICS :). There isn't much benefit over it then what we have now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d3n14l:
I love the phone and the support from the community but despise the neglect from LG/nVidia. I was running different ROMs until I needed full bluetooth support on the v21y baseband so now I'm back on stock Gingerbread :-\

I bought this phone on contract with intentions of it being future proof and lasting the full 2 years. A year into my contract and the specs are still great on paper. A little bit more RAM would be nice but I can work with it. Just please LG, hook us up with ICS. I don't really want to cough up 400 bucks for a Galaxy Nexus...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] djvoleur:
I love my g2x...I have been messing around with Harsh's kernel for CM 7...(I even got a OC/UV version...hehe)...I thought about making a CM7 kang (with tweaks and what not)...or an AOSP GB ROM...but right now I'm in school...and debating if I should put the time and effort into development...I don't mind...I'm still learning about how kernels works...and would love to develop something (or at least help out) for our devices... :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] guitarist5122:
I like my g2x a lot. Bought it off eBay 7 months ago and have been impressed with the power this thing has. I am very distrought that we are 2 versions of android behind. Yes we have ICS but its not to the level of perfection I need and thus am still on GB. This is my 3rd android phone and I have never fallen this behind thanks to devs of xda.

I understand the driver/source code issues that are holding us back. If we can get a port of our Korean counterpart's ICS, then I will most likely just hold onto this phone for awhile longer.

My contract us up in 3 months and I could save money by going to a monthly plan. If we can't get fully functioning ICS though, I'll be hopping on the note 2. I'm getting the note 2 regardless, but would just like to wait till the right deal comes along instead of paying top dollar.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sambodie:
There are still some ports showing up, but I see 2 things being a barrier to more/better dev activity -

1) Driver availability. Both ICS and GB. ICS ROMs are stuck on things needing HW acceleration, for example. The Froyo camera is almost fully ported to 2.3+ but not exactly. JB - even more so.

2) In call BT audio for new BB. Even though we can flash to have custom ROMs work with v21y, this function is still not working. That is a big reason why I have quit flashing the past few months.

I do like the phone and will keep it until it breaks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] monte666:
I love my g2x but its lagging seriously since i got it up too 132 using gps but running your rooted stock. My phone only likes stock roms cm based just force close everything. But ill keep it tell it dies
[T-Mobile LG G2x] solidbau5:
I don't attempt to run ics or jb roms anymore, they still seem unstable. But I am quite content with gb, though I still haven't found a rom+kernel that solves everything. Either it lags or I get SOD/overheating. So far I like cm7 nightlies best, don't know which kernel to go with though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
Galaxy Nexus is on it's way. My G2X is just too buggy, but I am going to keep it as a backup. Plus I want to go to an unsubsidized plan as the rates are much cheaper. For the same price I pay now I can get unlimited talk, text and data, plus hotspot (which I am not paying for now but have been warned that it will soon be an additional $15/month). I make back the cost of the GNEX in one year with the better service and reduced rate.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hairycheapo:
+1

I like Kwes and BuruRom rooted stock in addition to Temasek's CM7. I've got my phone figured out. If/when (on CM7 based roms) data drops or MMS bugs cause me frustration, I just restore Nandroid back-ups of those rooted stock version(s). If I need to drive an HD movie out the HDMI port for my kids in the backseat, I have better results with Morfic's kernel/CM7. Yeah, the phone runs hot (gets unstable) when pushed hard. It still does all I ask of it - day in, day out. I plan to make it work till I am eligible to upgrade. I hope my replacement for my G2x won't need to be any bigger. I miss the days of being able to forget my cell phone is in my jeans pocket!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] unoo:
I am waiting for a new nexus phone to come out and i am going to buy that and ditch the g2x. I am still running Bionix Reloaded because it is the best rom I have found to date and I have no reason to switch. I tried some ICS roms but my battery died in a few hours and I barley got a data connection. I appreciate all of the hard work and development with the G2X but LG killed it by not releasing drivers. I find it really sad because the G2X is such a powerful phone. I think it is still competitive with current phones that are being released with the software being the only exception. I told myself I will never purchase a new phone unless it is a nexus phone due to the fact that they will get updates.

LG definitely lost my business for a long time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gpmartinson:
Personally

I would love to develop for the G2x(I'm learning, but just barely) , but I can't see much that I am capable of doing right now. I'm gonna cook versions of CM7 and play with building kernels. We are in a holding pattern until the nVidia drivers come forward or the CM7 bluetooth thing gets resolved.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Going to keep the phone until at least Christmas, even later probably. My Nexus 7 has made my g2x have great battery life!

Sent from my paranoid Nexus 7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rbryant1983:
Lol... I got my nexus 2 or 3 weeks ago and swore I would sell my g2x ( at one point I was contemplating having my friends form a firing line directly at the phone. Then sending the video to lg and nvidia, interrupted by Linus giving them the finger.) But I haven't. I really love the phone to be honest. I was lucky enough to get one without major screen bleed and it has only locked up on me twice (PC/UV kernels).. I'm seriously contemplating keeping it as a back up phone.

I do wish that nvidia and lg would hurry up with the update so I could play around with fully functioning jb Roms, but since I know nothing about coding, I'm no help.

I also notice fewer and fewer devs working on it. I hope they are just waiting for the drivers tho.

So all in all, I still have the phone, even though I have moved on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cody168:
No more Korean phones

Thanks for OP posing this topic. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the contributors in G2X sections, it has benefit me as a Wind Mobile customer in Canada.

I am am not looking for the next new Android OS, I just want a custom ROM that has little or no bloat-wear that is very stable and utilizes the phone's fullest potential. LG /or Wind Mobile has abandon the upgrade to our phone and it is stuck at 2.2.2. We screamed, we yelled, we petitioned and its not going any where. Therefore I will not buy/support any Korean manufactured phones in the future.

So, please keep up the good work.

Thank you,

Cody
[T-Mobile LG G2x] solidbau5:
Agreed, the devs here have done a wonderful job. Though I don't blame them for moving to another device.

Running CM7, I've been with the G2x for a little over a year now... Next phone should be the Xiaomi M2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] atb1183:
I've tried alot of ROM/kernel combinations but I kept going back to CM7.2 final (used to be the RC but using final version now) with Trinity ELP kernel by morfic. everything works great with this: BT, gps, great battery life, stable, fast, good RAM management, etc

Actually, I lied, I'm currently using temersak (sp?) ROM which is based on 7.2. it's very lightly customized version of 7.2 so its good enough.

make sure you enable stay awake during charging to keep from the SOD problem.

one issue with Trinity kernel: it doesnt seem to execute scripts in init.d. I use a script manager (Smanager I think) to run the scripts at bootup. works fine
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmandros:
I am very happy with my G2X. Had it just over a year. My second android, came from the Samsung Behold 2. It still pains me to talk about the piece of Samsux. That one calibrated my expectations. Even on the worst day, the G2X is light years ahead.

I've played with a number of ROMs but never more than for a few days. I always head back to a rooted stock or slightly higher GB for BlueTooth and other items that just work better than the CM based flavors out there.

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] King-Nai:
I guess I got lucky? I've had almost no problems with my phone. It runs beautifully. I find that ICS(Domination) runs better than CM7 ever did. It's not even overclocked. The batter lasts about a day and 3/4ths. I love this phone. I just wish LG would release the drivers for us. I'd happily hack away at writing my own if someone would point me in the right direction.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] trev_rock:
I'm running CM7 and the phone has been rock solid for the last while. Fast, all the functions work, generally pleasant to use. I've also installed Go Launcher which gives me a little more polish to the UI.

That said, I seem to be trying to convince myself that it's good enough. There's something unsettling about not being on the latest version of Android. The OS continues to evolve and make improvements to become more useful to the user, but we're stuck here on an aging version. Of all the new features I've read about, nothing stands out as something that will significantly change my usage of the phone, but somehow that adequacy doesn't feel like enough.

So it's a battle between the logic of having a solid phone that does everything you need, versus the desire to be current and experience the latest advancements. For the moment, logic is winning out for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SpaceRanger69:
I'm stuck with my G2X until June of next year. I'll get something to replace it after that. We'll see what the flavor of the month is come that time. It's still a long ways away.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
I second this. If only the blue tooth issue with new baseband get resolved
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wmm:
I can't get a subsidized upgrade from T-Mobile until around Presidents' Day (I bought my G2x the first day it was available at my local store). However, I'm reasonably happy running kwes's (the OP of this thread) rooted stock 2.3.4; I only get a BSOD or spontaneous reboot once every month or so, and the GPS finally works well nearly all the time. If we manage to get a fully-working ICS or JB port, whether official or via the devs here, I expect that I'll flash it; if not, I'm okay with that. Either way, I'll see what's available or expected soon and for how much once my upgrade period rolls around; unless I see something compelling, though, I'm in no hurry. (I might have sprung for a Galaxy Note if it were earlier in its product life, but not at this point, and certainly not six months from now.)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Right now it's living under a rock. And it does not know what's going on with updates of android or wonder if it's going to be replaced soon.

Hahahaha.....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k0rrupt10n:
Eaglesblood, Trinity kernel with ICS theme, Holo Launcher & locker (standard lockscreen disabled). I tried a lot of ICS roms, but they were laggy on my G2X so this is the closest I can get to ICS/JB for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thehumble1:
I was all about running the next best thing on the g2x and was with Hell's ICS right up to the end, but I realized at HFS 1.8 that I wanted my phone to work so I went with your rooted stock for a while then to BuROM's mod of it and now I'm with temask's CM7 rebuild. Your stock rom is the best for almost everything and unless they give us real ICS drivers via a Optimus 2x update I'm going to stick with this set up.

I was on a HD2 for 2 years and that thing still has enough of a following to keep going. I see the g2x as also being a super solid phone since it's got great specs and a low street price. Not many apps are built around a quad core architecture and generally the speed has more to do with the demands of the OS than that of the individual app so I'm happy sticking with the g2x for a while. There are only a few things really wrong with it and it's still a great size and great feel for a sub $200 phone.

I got a Nexus 7 to play with JB and future ROMs. for now I'm more interested in keeping the G2x running super smooth and helping me do what I do every day: take pictures, video chat, email, text, answer a few phone calls and not have to plug in every 5 hours.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
I am happily on the stock rom too for the same reasons.

ICS is a 'want' than a 'need' at this point unless it becomes better functioning. That would happen only after an official release if at all.

If anyone can make the stock rom better like the 'bionics' etc did for v21e I'm going with that or CM7 fixes blue tooth.

Edit: after uninstalling all crappy apps that eat the battery even when idle I get 10 - 20 hours of battery depending on usage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gpmartinson:
Hey Kesara...what's that lock screen setup!?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] partylikeaninjastar:
I'm planning to put aside some money from my next two checks so that I can get the Galaxy Nexus in a couple of months. I've had nothing but problems (GPS being next to useless being one of the major ones) with this phone and I would have gone back to Virign Mobile with my Optimus V had I not dropped that phone so much to the point that it was barely functional. Thanks to the dev community here, this phone is actually useless, but it still suffers from lag with ICS ROMs. At this point, i don't want to go back to GB because I like the look and feel on ICS so I want a phone that can give me a smooth, functional ICS experience.

Still, though, I plan to keep the phone as a backup and I'll continue to follow the dev scene for as long as it's around here.

Really? Stay on topic reported
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] werdna87:
So I came from 2 HTC devices, the incredible then the rezound and almost never saw stories about bricks or anything of that nature. Almost anything you did could be easily fixed by running an ruu. Anyways, now I'm here and looking through the thread there seems to be a lot of people with bricks and missing radio info( not sure what that's about?) And all sorts if different issues. Anyways, my question is, how much easier is it to hard brick a gs3 compared to other HTC devices?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
Most people claiming bricks don't actually have one, and anyone who has actually bricked their phone has almost certainly done something wrong. There is a strange IMEI issue and data loss which is supposedly fixable with QPST. Still, don't ever remember having IMEI issues ever before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] werdna87:
Ok so how badly do you have to screw up to get a hard brick? Also, what is qpst?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
To hard brick, you pretty much need to flash the wrong thing to the wrong place.

QPST is Qualcomm Product Support Tools, a tool used for some things (including backing up NV/IMEI)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] werdna87:
So just by flashing romsn I'm not gonna have an issue with flashing stuff to the wrong place correct? They all include scripts that make sure of that. Also I know we got the bootloader unlocked recently. Is that similar to S-off on HTC devices?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
Flashing ROMS shouldn't hurt anything if you do it properly/don't do anything stupid in ODIN and have an NV/IMEI backup. I would wait until the IMEI issues are sorted, personally. You can still lose data, your IMEI and be stuck in roaming. I don't know how many people have used QPST backups of their NV to fix their IMEI problems.

I don't know about S-off so I can't comment on any similarities, but with the bootloader unlocked you can flash custom roms/kernels.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ind3p3nd3nt:
The QPST fix takes like 10 minutes and works fine, without leaving you stuck in roaming, and is even faster if you had the foresight to use QPST to make a backup beforehand. At this point, it's not really something to be worried about unless you're crack flashing at a time when you wouldn't have access to a computer to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
Sounds good then. I hadn't heard of many people using QPST backups to restore their IMEI yet.
[HTC One X] twistmycap:
U guys can beat me up for this, for asking such a returd question.

Will the International gsm unlocked version work on Verizons network? Since verizon provides micro SIM cards?
[HTC One X] vivek_bhoj:
One X also uses micro sim only so it should work without any problems as its unlocked.
[HTC One X] twistmycap:
I hope it will.
[HTC One X] Babydollll:
No. It will not work. Verizon uses sim cards as their LTE network is based on GSM BUT, they are a CDMA carrier.

To clarify: those sim cards are for their LTE network...but Verizon is primarily a CDMA carrier. The hardware on the One X is incompatible.
[HTC One X] twistmycap:
Are you.sure and has anyone tried it
