I have been having issues all day long with people on the other end of the phone sounding HORRIBLE! Everyone can hear me just fine. Sounds like they are on a bad speakerphone. Also, if I turn 3G off the problem seems to go away...aka it seems ok on Edge connection. Any ideas? Is my radio rom fudged? Should I try re-installing a new one? or a different one? I'm running L26 v4 diamond rom. I've tried upgrading to v5 but that didn't help, in fact made it worse (freezing problem), so i've downgraded back to v4. Any help is appreciated.

Don't be a tool. There isn't anything in the FAQ about this particular issue.
I've been having issues with AT&T off and on for a week due to their upgrades getting ready for the 3G iPhone. My data connection was hosed quite a bit recently. Since it's isolated to 3G, I would bet it's a carrier issue rather than a phone issue.

It seems RADIO 1.65.20.29 is adviced for Laurentius26's ROM.
Maybe you can try to flash that one to your device.

Interestingly, my issue was occurring on my Treo 750 and my Tilt, and cleared up without any changes from me. Not sure if that helps DeniaL.

AHH!
I think that you diagnosed it yourself correctly - if the same problem was happening exactly the same on two different types of phones, then it was carrier related - now that it has cleared up it is pretty much moot - no?

That's precisely my point. I don't think his issues are phone-related but rather an AT&T thing that will fix itself over time.

My data download has sucked since last Thursday/Friday. It takes 5+ minutes to download an app from the market(some <1mb) and I get "Download Paused" 5-10x per market download. Also, my speed test results are strange. I checked my data usage on Friday and I was only at 4600mb, yet my download was still horrible.
Current speeds:

Average speeds in the past:
My billing cycle ends today. I guess I will find out tomorrow if my data resumes. I have been over 5gb a few times in the past, but never had an issue. Maybe I am not being throttled, I have tried all the fixes I have found for the Market issue. I formatted my memory card, delete .android_secure, have tried 3 different ROMs, same issue. If anybody has any suggestions, I would love to get out of the sub-dialup speed range!
No they are having network issues again. LTE for me is slower than yours lol.. If they throttled you to 5kps, they would be on the receiving end of a class action.
It still says I have 3g, I would only assume that 1x is faster than this. My buddy has a Thunderbolt and his works fine, but he is about 20 miles from me so he may be on a different tower?
Try rebooting your phone. Could always be something simple. Its possible that you are on a different tower thats having an issue. My 3G is great right now, but my LTE is slower than dialup. Think its their end not yours or your account.
Have you by any chance flashed the latest radio? I noticed that once I flashed the latest radio leak, my upload and download speeds dropped significantly. I flashed back to the old (stock) radio and my speeds have gone back to normal.
Reading through some threads, there seems to be others that have had the same issue, while others have had success with the leaked radio.

What's the status? Been having this issue ever since the network went down about 10 days ago. 3g hella slow.
I am still having issues. I took it into my Verizon store today which was a waste. The Vzw guy just called their tech support and he said that he did some stuff "behind the scenes" and that the new radio update should fix the issue.
I installed the radio update in the Thunderbolt Radio thread and I am still having issues. This is rediculous Verizon! It has been over a week! Makes my phone not worth using anything that uses data

I just got a replacement for my botched Nexus, this new one has 0% Time Without Signal (the old one had 50% and was eating batteries) so the new one is off to a better start.
The new one still has the old firmware GRJ06D. I am wondering of anyone noticed issues arising from the GRJ22 update. In particular, anyone get the Tine Without Signal issue as a result of the update? OR are they unrelated? I just want to be sure before installing this thing. Thanks.
Just checked and with the 10 hours up time, I have 0 tws.
I allowed the upgrade and I still have 0% twenty - so far so good. Now, who knows what was wrong with my first one (hardware or software?)

sweet already went there but never saw that appear. if you your 4g drops and it goes down to 3g, does that count as time without signal? just wondering if that counts towards that.

I doubt it , I don't usually use 4G just probably once a week so I'm no 100% sure
I did the update, but unfortunately the battery life is still terrible. Maybe a new ota will come soon to help with this battery issue. (This is the Sprint version.)
To anyone who cares or was questioning the update. My update is running very smooth, GPS updates super quick, battery life has improved and all my apps are working perfectly. I must be lucky.
First of all, previously to the update I was running CM7 RC-1 with morfics kernel which ran great first of all. But of course i wanted to update to an "official" if you want to call it that.
This is the guide I followed thanks to TGA_Gunmann for posting first.
http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/23/how-to-unroot-the-t-mobile-g2x/
I made sure all the steps went exactly as they were supposed to. And i followed them perfectly.
Now i have this.
My version of OS im running.

Battery
Battery life with my normal to moderate usage. It has been better than my experience with froyo.
Been using this all day as well. Widget and background (bg is a Live Wallpaper also)
If someone were to ask me if they should update, My answer would be yes. I have not had any problems yet. Just make sure you follow the instructions CAREFULLY! Maybe someone will find this at least a little useful.
People are complaining but I rather have the update than be stuck on 2.2. Only. Things worth noticing is the stock camera, but we have to wait 4 more months on the update.

Mine went fine as well but I un-rooted first via 1-click, then did a factory reset, and unmounted interanl SD and format before I attempted. BTW, my battery is about the same but have you been able to uncleck the 2G and have it stick? Mine keeps checking the 2G box.

I now notice it only seems to get stuck in the checked position if there is also active wifi connection, otherwise, if the phone is on 4G, the 2G box can be checked/unchecked and the selection sticks.
I agree if anyone wants to update they should, but the only down fall is losing the nice LG camera. That is the only reason I went back. I take a lot of photos of my son who is 2 years old and I need crystal clear pictures like you get with the LG Camera. I think if you want a stable gb rom, do the update. If you want the LG Camera like I do then do not do the update. Just my two cents.
I can agree. I noticed the camera was a little dark. But I can deal without it. I take meaningless pictures unlike you. Pictures of your son is a good reason to go black. I would probably also jump on board if I were to be using it for tthe same.reason

My Lg G2x Has been working great but more recently its done two wierd things; first at times when booted it up it will claim in a area where there is absolutely no coverage (although there is) but when i restart once or twice it goes back to normal (remaining in the same area) and second is there are times when i turn wifi on and both the wifi logo and 4g remain in sight. Does anyone have any suggestions other than doing a factory data reset as i have done more than 5 and had no luck

What baseband are you on? I've had that problem with the wifi and 4g icons at the same time, but I just turn off then turn wifi back on and it fixes the problem, I've never had the coverage ossue though. Also, how long have you had the phone? Maybe its starting to mess up internally with the antenna, but highly unlikely.

OK I've uploaded a pic of the baseband and yea I've noticed turning on and off wifi helps but not permanent solution unfortunately. But as far as time I've owned for about a year however LG has serviced it once already when it had battery issues (got the board replaced) BTW do you think rooting it and installing a custom rom might do the trick?

I found coverage/service problems were vastly improved w/ the newest baseband. There's about 379 guides (give or take) on here about how to update it.
Also, custom ROMs make EVERYTHING better
Oh OK us there anyway you can give me link to the thread and are there any roms you can suggest?
For the wifi and 4g appearance, you could kill all the apps with appkiller.I also have this problem but fix it with this solution

As for roms I prefer GB roms to ICS roms for my g2x, currently running and loving Hellfire Phoenix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420972
However, if you decide to upgrade the baseband and flash this rom, you will also need to flash the baseband fix over the top of it, that can be found here

I use it everyday for my 3 mile runs.
Yea, I figured I was gonna have to take it in but I was hoping there was some fix I could do myself.
Yea , i just recently needed to use my navigation and my gps is broke as well. Same issue, no lock. Replacement is in the mail, if that one ends up broken as well i might switch phones....was kinda intrigued by the g flex 2

Does your GPS connect while you are stationary? I had the issue on my note edge 915G where while driving I used to start navigation and rest it on the side seat or on my lap and within minutes it would say 'GPS signal lost'. While stationary it would lock easily.
Then I started keeping it in vertical position in the car door pocket and since then it remains connected and not once the GPS was lost. So it seems keeping it lying down is sort of blocking the GPS signal. Keeping it vertical solves this issue.
Dont know if this is the kind of problem you are facing. If it is then maybe you can give it a try.

Your best luck is taking it in. I've had my fair share of experience with devices with bad GPS. My Note 3 could never get a lock, and trust me, there's NOTHING that will fix it unless you're one of the extremely lucky few that's having issues because of software and a patch comes out. Most likely though, you're chip's just bad. Take it in, get it replaced and you'll be fine.
It didnt lock on. It would be within the general area of where i was. Also when trying navigation , the navigation arrow would just stay in one spotthwn after few minutes would jump to kinda where i wqs at. Took it to sprint and the girl working was trying the most dumb things to tey to gwt it to work. Like take out sd card, refresh phone, try different map and navigation app. I was like ....listen i done several tests and apps already....its the gps chip. Then the main guy came out and tried an app real quick and he agreed with me. So they ordered me a replacement and everything is working

Mine is wonky too. My Note 2 can lock on at home with like 9-10 satellites but this Edge will take forever and it constantly locks to random numbers and fluctuates up and down even outside. I'm blaming this one on the metal. I wonder if the S6 has this issue. My S3 and Note 2 had great gps.
