Looking forward to doing more with it.

I have had my first g2x for a little over a week. I really liked the phone, but the screen bleed on the first one was pretty bad. If it was just a little bit of bleed I could of dealt with it. I had flashed over to bionix, and with the black status bar the bleed was horrid. It was hard to make out the status bar sometimes because they bleed was so bad. The phone did not have any random reboots that everyone else seems to have. I wish I could of kept it. I ended up calling t mobile and they shipped a new one.
Today I received my new replacement in the mail. It was a brand new phone. I opened up the box and installed the battery and went for initial boot. The first thing that I noticed was it had a cluster of dead pixels at the top of the screen. If it was one I might be able to deal with it. Although for having a new premium phone I don't necessarily expect it to be perfect, but this was unacceptable. Well then the phone booted and went to the little android that I needed to tap enter. I tapped him, then the phone had a bunch of forced closes and rebooted. I rebooted it and same thing happened 2 more times. By this time I had had enough. I called up t mobile to get another replacement.
They guy that I was talking too asked me since this was going to be my third one why didn't I wait for the htc sensation. I told him the reason I didn't want it was because it was too big, but the main thing is because of the locked boot loader. I asked if they had an actual date for release, but he did not have one. He said he has seen leaked documents on blogs giving a date. But we have all seen the same thing. I also sold my vibrant so I don't have another phone right now. I really like the g2x and want to keep it. I also like the idea of the tegra 2. I am a big fan of nvidia, and their support has always been top notch. I hope I get a good third phone, because I really want to keep the g2x.
On a side note, I re-upped my contract to get this phone at the upgrade price. I was told today that to get new phone and not a refurb I had to extend my contract so that the 2 years started from today. Not that 2 weeks of extension was that big of deal but to me that's kind of ridiculous. It's not my fault I received faulty phones, why should I have to re up my contract. I know its only 2 weeks, but that is just a stupid policy. Or maybe it was just the guy I was talking too. I am just tired of these big company's taking advantage of the little guy for things that are not even our fault. I should not have to re-sign my contract because of faulty equipment. I was half tempted to just return the phone right there and tell them to cancel my contract. Not that 2 weeks will kill me, but for the principal of the fact. Has that happened to anyone else that had to return their faulty g2s's?
Another sob story about this phone. This is bad. Why was this device released if it is such a pile. Where is and what happened to LG quality control????

I went to tmobile website and this phone has so many good reviews. I don't understand because this is also my 3rd one, and I'm about to return it too. If not for light bleeding, then it is for all the rebooting and freezing for no reason. Could it be because all of my phones are shipped from the warehouse in KY...where are the good ones come from? Any idea?

The manufacture date of my phone is only 5/9/2011 so its was not even made 2 weeks ago. It makes me think it cant be a warehouse thing because the phone only being manufactured 10 days ago could not of had that much time to sit on the shelf. I am actually surprised that it can make it from the factory in Korea to my doorstep in 10 days.

Hi,
Mine shipped from KY and its great, production date 4/26. Screen bleed is very very minimal at the top and really isnt very noticeable unless you read these threads and look for it. I had one reboot but that was because I got the phone stuck when trying to stream music directly from the browser and it went a bit bazerk. But other than that this is a GREAT phone. My friend and his wife got one(from radio shack) with no problems whatsoever and so I would guess there is a bad batch around or something.
In regards to the good reviews about the g2x on Tmobile's site, I posted a negative one and it was removed after the first day. I think they clear out the bad comments.
My 3rd was a refurbished..and I've never owned one past 14 days. And I got in from a Rep.
Still after never getting a NEWphone that worked they tried to send me a refurbished phone.
That just really hit me in a bad way.
Unfortunately from the sound of customers who came to tmo from other carriers tmo is better.
That sucks.
I'm going to the sensation. The Rep did not deny the sensation would be here in a few weeks.
Just said they can't confirm until an official date is given.
My g1 was the best phone I swear.
I'm learning to trust HTC for a well made and tested phone.

somehow i got a whole "work day" out of my G1....which was from 3am to 3pm. granted i would be in the 15% range at the end of the work day but it did last most work days all day. slower work days like mid week i would carry my car charger just incase, but on weekends when it was busy i would actually be at 30% area of remaining battery at end of same hours due to less use. the G1 was a decent slab of hardware. i sold it to my friend that just moved on to a G2 2 months ago, and said it still worked perfect. I got the G1 about 2 weeks after its retail release.
Like the title says. I still haven't gotten an OTA update yet, and trying the few 3.2 updates people have linked to haven't worked for me.
A bit annoyed actually, that the store I bought it from, in London, sold me a US one, but there we go.
Anyway, just wondered if anyone in a similar situation had found a way to get it.
Similar thing. I bought at curry´s in london a B60 unit and dock. US version.
I´m in Brazil now, and have checked daily for the update and no luck what so ever.... I tried the recovery mode trick with those 60MB files of the update but all I got was a green android budy with a ! symbol on its chest...
It´s really taking a long time for it to be avaliable at the asus ftp.
Anyone has found a way to update in a situation like this?
My US version got the update in the UK within hours of the release last week.
I bought a B60 from amazon.co.uk and had it delivered to me here in Malta. I got the 3.2 update on 2nd August.
My Dad in the UK has a US version which I bought for him, and he got the OTA right about the same time as I did, ages ago.

OP, have you tried this yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133014
Looks like it should resolve your issue.
Thanks.
Thanks for that last link, I'll give it a try. I can't seem to get my transformer into APX mode - hoding power and volume up (after turning off) doesn't do anything. I've got the file downloaded though and I'll look for an answer to the APX problem and give it a try.
Thanks
Ok
Tried that, didn't work. Got back to 8.4.4.5, but it wouldn't update any further. I'll leave it for a few hours, see if it comes through by itself, but clicking the update button does nothing
Appreciate the help though, cheers.
I have a B7O that got updated only a few days ago.
Other european posters say that they might have been fixing some bugs before sending it out.
Then I think they stagger the updates.

Mine came the following morning (US Transformer in UK)
It changed my life.... or maybe not so much!
I have 2 B50s here and both got the notification for the update. We updated 1 to 3.2 about 3 days ago when they arrived.

Hey everyone this is my first thread on xda and i was hoping if you guys could help me out. So i bought a Nexus S about 2 weeks ago.. the phones great. However, i have noticed 2 red dots on the screen- one close to the top of it, and one around the middle. They are very very small, you have to literally be a couple centimetres away from the phone to see it. I tried a pixel fixing app but that didnt work... Also i went to my carrier (wind mobile) and told them about the issue... they said the best they could do is give me a refurbished phone. I also called up samsung and they said they would give a refurbished as well. Now my question is... is there any way to fix this? If not, should i just get the refurbished phone? And shouldn't they offer me a brand new phone instead of a refurbished one? Please help! Thanks in advance.
i would just stay at least 2.75 inches away from your screen when your looking at it. just messing that would drive me crazy too. But too me it sounds like a hardware issue that probably cant be resolved with software. If its something you cant live with probably going to have to go with the refurb
That blows that when we buy brand new phones they offer us refurbished ones. It's bull**** actually.

Should be able to exchange for a new phone if you are only 2 weeks in. Check the return policy.

Typically, the refurbs are like brand new. They have all the plastic stickers on and everything. While it sucks, it's better than being stuck with bad pixels.
.
So i went back to the wind store today... and since the stuck pixel was very small, they couldnt really do anything... However, they told me that if the phone's lcd gets worse they will replace it. Sounds like a good deal right? The pixel doesnt really bother me much... But what do u guys think?
That would be fine by me too. No need to start war for small, mostly cosmetic issues. Good for you! I think in matter of few weeks, you don't even notice it..

Hi!
I'm from Italy and...I've exactly the same problem!!!
2 red dots on screen, very very small on my new Nexus S (bought 2 weeks ago).
So, I decided to keep it at home! I don't want refurbished phone!
So, every day I watch if other red dots appear, I hope NO!

It's rare that more stuck pixels would appear out of nowhere. I'm sure you'll be fine.
With in the first 14 days you get a brand new phone, 15 days and up you get a refurbished. Now what most people don't know is a refurbished phone is not how they used to be back in the days (a used phone just cleaned up) now a days refurbished is a phone someone had but sent back due to them not liking it or it being the wrong phone. 9 out of 10 times the refurbished phone that you get has never been used or used for a less then a full day. When I worked for tier 2 tech for sprint the refurbished phones we sent out were phone someone ordered but got the wrong one. Say you ordered a Nexus S and we shipped you an Evo 3D, even though you never even powered on that 3D, it is now a refurbished phone. Sorry for the long post and my spelling grammar, but I been up for the past 32 hours at the hospital with my son and could really care less to spell and grammar check right now =/

Holey moley what a day. I took my HTC inspire in to the att corp store nearby becaause it was having some call disconnect issues and some random problems with the digitizer. Long story short I walked out with the Atrix 2 and my upgrade in January still intact. Never owned a Moto phone before so here I am in Noob land again.
Congrats on the new phone and you got one heck of a deal! Who knows what the next best phone is gonna be as fast as they have been rolling out lately and with LTE just getting up and running you got a nice deal being able to keep your upgrade
I had the store manager and the sales guy both arguing with warranty support on the phone. I still had to BUY the atrix 2 for 99 bucks but I keep my upgrade and can send the inspire off to htc for repair. I'll sell it when I get it back.
You should have made them price match Best Buy at 49.99! But im sure you can make it back and then some selling the inspire on ebay. Enjoy your new phone!
When I went in I hadn't intended to buy a phone. I did not do any pricing research
:-(
Even at $100, you got a nice device.

Agreed though it's taking some getting used to. I ran cm7 on the Inspire and sort of miss it.

The dev types seem to be making good progress. You'll have it back soon enough.
I managed to get a similar deal but I traded in both of my inspire 4g's for atrix 2's.
No charge, nothing added to my contract and my upgrade is still there in FEB.
I was legitimately having issues with dropped calls on my inspire and the atrix seems to have fixed the issue.
The hell I had to raise was EPIC. I'm going out of town and needed a working phone ASAP. The idiots at the 800 number wouldn't swap my phone for me for another 2 weeks, totally unacceptable. Me, the sales rep I was working with in the store, and teh nanager spent about an HOUR all together on the phone.
I ended up getting very frustrated, saying I was in the ATT corp store and would just cancel my acct. I hung up. 5 minutes later they called back and made me the offer.
My experience was the complete opposite. I had a very nice conversation with manager about dropped calls and my problems with the inspire. He offered to switch me into the ATRIX2

Hey gunnyman
Looks like we are both on the same phone again. I just came over from the Galaxy S2.... had too many HW problems with it and so I decided to try something different. So for I really do like the feel of the Atrix 2 and the speed is pretty much on par with the Galaxy S2. One thing I am missing is the ROMs...... lol.... but I'm sure the will come in time.
Maybe I need to start developing.... who know...
Anyone else serve their surface in for an exchange? How long did it take to get one back? I sent my RT in due to a corrupt recovery partition and the online status still says "Shipped by customer" even though it was delivered several days ago (Thursday).
What has everyone else experienced?

Sent thursday. Sorting office wont begin to deal with that until friday then. Then there is also saturday. Sunday they wont deal with any mail. Most likely the same today. So actually, 2 working days in the system. Normally a large package you can expect 5. Microsoft are probably right, they havent recieved it yet.

Mine was really fast... but then again I made them expedite my shipping (which they readily did). Just wait a few more days, and if it hasn't been received call them. Good luck!
got mine exchanged a month ago. It took exactly one week. The status did not change for 4 days and then things started rolling. I chatted and called though to find out why the status didn't change. Even though the people I talked to couldn't help something must have triggered the change in status.
Somebody else on the Surface forums had a similar experience and it took exactly one week. It takes them 4 days to do their job, add 3 days for overnight shipping and you come to a week with a weekend.
The second time I drove an hour to the next MS Store to exchange it. Didn't want to wait another week without it.
good luck
i've exchanged my surface almost right after the purchase - in one week. i was afraid that 32Gb would be too few.
frankly speaking i've been having the 64Gb version for a half of year, and it still has 38Gb free disk space..
I did an advanced swap out on mine, they put a hold on your card though so maybe not ideal for most people...
New one turned up, sat it next to the old one made sure it worked properly then sent the old one back...
