I think there should be a new Section or even in the Sub-Forums a space for the GX2.
I also can see people flashing stuff they shouldn't to there phone and getting mixed up with all the different post/topics on the 2 different phones
Yep I agree make no sense in the same forum space...
and didnt one of the devs say flashing something from the o2x unto the g2x will break functionality? i also think there should be a seperate forum or a subforum
Lol I can see how that can be frustrating

They certainly did, thats why it should be moved even to the Sub-Forums just so thats it's seperated
Or people can start labeling threads "g2x" or "o2x". A little reading can go a long ways as well.

I think it needs seperating every other post in the general is g2x which isn't what I or others what to be filtering through hehe (well that my opinion)
It's funny how the sensation which is months away already has it's own section while the g2x doesn't... Also the vibrant and the vibrant 4g both have their own section while being such similar devices

I don't think "clogging up" is the right term, "cross pollination" might be better. There is some crossover for sure, but it's obvious that some G2x things might be fatal to the O2x.. and vice verse... a separate section is definitely called for.
as long as posts are clearly labeled [G2X] [02X] it should be fine. but 2 months down the line it will probably be a mess in here
Yeah the android genius paulobrien posted that flashing O2x baseband will remove all phone functionality on the G2x. I assume that since only a select few people in the USA have the G2x now. That will have our own section by Monday, Hopefully CM7 will be right behind it.
I dont know how I'm gonna survive till tuesday
I'll probably just flash MicroMod's HD-Desire v1.7 for the old lady and get her set up
Yeah. Some people are just idiots and will try everything they see without even reading. Haha, a subforum would be enough i think. Paul would be away for 10 days so we wont be hearing from him for 10 days. Cant wait for his return.
Less offensive version.
I think the benefits of the united efforts of g2x and o2x devs outweigh the disadvantages of a mistakenly flashed kernel (which is no big deal because the phones are nearly brick proof). The small portions which differ should be marked accordingly and, honestly, people who flash the wrong baseband because they didn't read the thread properly or don't know what they are doing deserve to be reminded to properly read topics and obtain the knowledge necessaryin the future.
I agree with aMpeX!
There are labels like [ROM], [Kernel], [How To] etc., people should just put [O2X] and [G2X] in front of their titles!
And don't you start about people making mistakes because the G looks a bit like an O..
There were 2 seperate forums for the g2 and desire z. Those ended up merging.
We definitely need a separate forum for the G2x. First off, a lot of n00bs aren't going to realize the Optimus 2X has virtually the same hardware as the G2x - if they DO figure out that particular point, there is still a high probability they will bork their phones flashing O2X basebands onto their G2x's. A perfect example - the thread warning G2x owners NOT to flash O2X basebands is not even a sticky. One can argue that not reading makes it their own fault but at the same time, most of America is filled with total idiots. The rest of the world knows that.

I thinks the O2x people need to pushed out for the new hotness of the G2x.
C'mon ppl, we essentially bought the same phone, so why all the hating?
As I said, people who are unable to understand / too stupid to read shouldn't be flashing basebands in the first place. So if they brick their phone, it will hopefully teach them a lesson or too, and they will have to deal with the full wipe when they revert to stock using NVflash. You wouldn't flash a toasters firmware to a sandwich maker, so stop being ridiculous and read the goddamn threads. People put a lot of effort into pointing out what you CAN do and what you CAN't do.
Also, I want to emphasize again, apart from the Baseband, the Radio Interface Layer and 1 or 2 swapped partitions, those phones are IDENTICAL, so why split all the awesomeness brought here by devs to 2 sub forums. I, for one, would end up reading both.
And btw, as of now there is a sticky warning G2X users not to flash O2X basebands and vice versa.
Cheers

Blah, so tired of seeing the GPS threads being posted everywhere?
It's getting so old, almost as bad as, "My phone bricked because I unplugged the USB or the battery fell out"... To me those types of people don't deserve true help. If people took the time to read and follow tutorials to the tee they would have no issues.
Same goes for GPS. We all know it can be a number of reasons why... Just try different kernels/roms/modems/etc/whatever! Granted there are occasionally those unlucky Captivate users who get a stock Captivate and the GPS doesn't work but if they troubleshooted from the start and nothing worked they would realize that 99% of the places would simply give you a replacement.
Anyone else agree?

No. I shouldn't have to go scouring the internet for fixes, voiding my warranty and wasting my time trying to fix something that should work out of the box. Maybe you're OK with letting the manufacturer off the hook for building a POS product, but the rest of us "whiners" think we have every right to expect that a device sold with certain features should actually have those features working.

Of course. Obviously the bad GPS thing is just a conspiracy. Besides, expecting it to work out of the box is asking a bit much. It's up to the buyer to search the internet for the right firmware taken from some other device to make his phone work almost ok. All this coddling and hand holding makes me want puke.

So instead of going to the manufacturer to get it fixed, you bombard a forum of people who want to move forward with their phones, instead of answering the same question and posting the same links over and over again?
No offense, but I agree, enough of the obnoxious "mah gps sux" threads.
Tell it to samsung if it really bothers you.
/troll
Where are all the "my gps sux" treads you are talking about? I just went through a few pages of this forum and can't find them. There where I think 3 "gps" treads i came across from the last few days. One was about the southeast not going to have good sig for a bit because of gov testing. Im tired of the threads being posted whining about threads being posted that you don't like.
Ok guys enough with the GPS threads ok. We all know what the GPS is like on the captivate, SO we have 3 options.
1. Accept it and try to help getting it to work as best it can.
2. Be upset about it and complain to ATT till they give you another device.
3. Complain to Samsung about it
If you notice there was not an option to keep posting new threads about this. I have left a few threads open for this just so people that think complaining on XDA about it will make them feel better or get something done about it. Either way I am over the issue myself. I know my gps doesnt work like my old HD 2 did but hey I expected issues when I got a Samsung product. Look at the issues all their smartphones have had over the years. There was no reason that I thought the captivate was gonna be any diff, it was just an entry level Android device for me to use till I got the device i wanted. (Desire HD).
Thread closed
Seems there is enough similarities of the phones, if not Exact....that the threads could be combined.
The reason I think it is critical to combine is that it becomes a hassle to check each thread to see what is good info...we have double postings essentially having two groups talking and solving the same problems.
I even have to post this poll in two places, for the exact same hardware, under the same logic as two categories, we would need a new group for each custom ROM.
dude that would cause chaos did u see where the one guy didnt see this one download was specifically for the g2x n flashed it n it ended up being for the o2x he was stuck with the wrong baseband basically ****ed it would be to much confusion especially with the new people who frequent this site
No, like it has been mentioned, these aren't the same exact phones, it's just not roms and flashing but lots of mods and apps and workarounds that are different for both phones.
Also, I am willing to bet that the majority of G2X users are Americans on T-Mobile's network, which means we have our own set of network and carrier issues to deal with.
The lines need to be established just to make sure a new owner or casual user doesn't mess up their $600 plus phone.

As I am the person the requested and got the g2x its own forum before the phone was released... I'd advise against this as they are not even close to the same phone.... go flash a pure i9000 rom to your vibrant see what happens
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Just go look at the mess that is the G2/Desire Z forum and you'll understand what will happen. And those phones are MUCH more alike than ours.
I am really tired of not having much choices of roms for the Skyrocket. Honestly, there is going to be alot of flamers saying yes there are, but seriously c'mon. If there were great roms, users such as myself wouldnt be always searching for a rom thats close or similar to ICS. On another note, Im also sick and tired of AT&T throttling my connection.. I'd rather purchase an unlocked phone such as the Nexus and run the APN through that phone since it automatically forces the connection to stay ONLY in HSPA+. Sure its not LTE speed, but like someone said, whats the point of having LTE with data caps? I am not the type of people who are abusing the unlimited data plan, I am solely using it for Pandora, web browsing, and Netflix. I accumulate around 4-6gb per month. I recently got capped on LTE at 1.5gb... So you tell me, is LTE worth it? Another thing about the Skyrocket that I dont like is that there are wait times for updates to our phone. Samsung lags on updates, yet, Galaxy Nexus, since its an OFFICIAL GOOGLE PHONE, receives updates FIRST before any other device. "TRUE GOOGLE EXPERIENCE" huh?

Hey., here is a thought.. If you can do better.. MAKE A ROM YOURSELF
Hater's always going to hate.. Christ how many threads do we have like this.
Go with that Nexus.. Do you realize 2012 will be bringing quad-core phones and the Note from Att&t. and that "wonder" phone from Verizon will be last years news... Good luck.

You've got a good point. I would make a rom myself if I had the knowledge and the time to develop them. I am not bashing on rom devs, its all constructive criticism. You also failed to realize my main argument was clearly not whether the Nexus is a better phone than the Skyrocket, it was clearly about the data throttling and how we CANT force the network mode to stay in only HSPA rather than LTE. And yes, in 2012, there will be better phones, but did you factor in throttling will always be in effect? So what your phone runs 10x faster and better when your data usage is still capped? Point of this thread is to figure out what is the best phone to use to REMOVE AT&T throttling.. This isnt a complaining thread. Its merely a [Q] regarding throttling and which device is best suited to work around it...
But thanks for the reply.
Yes what he said ^^^^ and let me ad first questions go in q&a and second. Lol puting down the devs means honestly you do not deserve to even use the awesome roms. They work hard on in there free time wth out pay. And let undeserving people use. The skyrocket will have ics. In q1 of 2012. But you should just switch to verizon. Because we do not need this kind of attitude in our forum. Or on xda period. Something to think about. And the trolling threads are becomng agrivating

Sigh.. why is everyone thinking i am putting anyone down. first off, sorry this is in the wrong section. I was unaware of that. Second, I am not trying to put any developers down at all. I am would love to offer my support and help developing roms if I knew how. Like I said, my comments are merely what I am looking for in a rom. I appreciate rom developers taking their time to make these roms and not charge anyone who uses them.. Seriously, your taking all my comments in the wrong way.
I am sorry if my comments came off offensive, I mean no disrespect. I am merely asking a question in data throttling and devices. I am NOT switching over to VERIZON. I am asking about the GSM Nexus Unlocked.. Please read carefully and not add flames to a question thread.

All i am asking for is an opinion on which device you would recommend for my personal use. You guys are bashing without thinking about what the main focus of the question was. Seriously, the thread was made for help. Not to reject peoples thoughts or questions. XDA was suppose to be about a community of people who help one another with questions, development, etc. When did it become so hateful towards people who arent as knowledgeable as others.
Another thing, I've been searching on google for similar topics, but if I found the right answer, do you think I would be posting a thread asking? Seriously.

I cant believe how many of these I dont want my skyrocket threads I keep seeing. especially ones "threatening" to go to a different phone. The gnex is awesome with ics on it but after thats gone (when other phones have it) what are you left with? the razr in a different form. Im not a fan of the 1.2 TI omap at all and can't believe its in such a flagship device. once the sky has ics the only edge youll have is the higher res screen, which at that point Id leave for the skys chip. If you can't do it yourself, donate to a dev and maybe they can configure a good apn setting so you don't get throttled. or just get a gnex and complain about something on that forum
Its all good. Just read your posts carefuly before you post a thread. It seems very much like complaining. Its hard to judge the attitude of people when they post sometimes. So anyway. The unlocked nexus still is a bad choice. Check out the galaxy note or wait a bit and there will be ics roms for tue skyrocket . And as i said there is a ics theme rom in development. That alot of people like. Dont give up your lte. For the nexus its not worth it. It even has less useable screen space. Also not worh the money. When for the same ammount you could have the note. With its massive 5.3 inch hd amoled display. You can get the international version now. But an lte version is coming to att in 2012

I had pondered the same thing but from what I read and have seen in the marketplace, people are not as happy with the nexus as they thought they would be. I think the hype was bigger than the actual product. I think the Nexus is a great phone but all the secracy and rumors made the phone seem better than the every other phone in the world. The Skyrocket has it's issues too but other than the screen, everything else is can be made better with ROM and the awesome Devs that make every device better and better.
Nexus is a huge scam..
A gold painted turd.
The gpu is old as hell
I'm not convinced battery technology is at a point where an HD display can really be supported. It looks like the Note is doing pretty well, but I've seen a lot of complaints about the gnex. I can attest that the Nitro HD had the worst battery life I've ever experienced...phone went back to the store and they exchanged with no restocking fee.
So, I'd stay sgs2 unless you are willing to lug a charger around everywhere.
Wow... Did I pick the wrong phone to get this year? Every phone Ive had since I started getting smartphones has had some community around it that has developed roms. It seems like the Q hit the scene and got lost. Everyone is either on the galaxy III or EVO LTE. Or is it just difficult or something to make roms for this phone.
Maybe my desire to have a hardware keyboard is getting outdated... I remember when the epic came out and sold out nearly immediately just because of all the people who wanted a hard keyboard.
I guess Im just disappointed ... thanks for paying attention for a moment,
Wow... that's a nice first post introducing yourself to the community...
Maybe a little research before purchasing would have helped you make a better decision?
This phones dev is in it's infancy, most qwerty phones take off a bit slow, see where this one is in a year.
-Saint
Another thing to consider (and I think others have voiced this previously here or something similar)....at least compared to the Epic, this phone doesn't have the innate motivational outright must-have *need* for ROM development and such, for one simple reason: while not saying the phone is perfect, by and large, the phone just simply works and works well on stock alone. As many reviews attested from launch, its also about as close to AOSP in stock form as you're likely to see from a major US carrier with little built-in bloat.
None of that is to say that ROM development wouldn't make it better or isn't desirable by any stretch, but at the same time, there isn't really a general sense of urgency about it either as compared to examples we've all experienced in the past. Hopefully that's due to Google's influence taking hold over Motorola and continues going forward as well.

Sorry? I didn't realize I needed to introduce myself everytime I get a new phone. I may not post very often, but I have been here for a while. Sadly, my ability to do anything with making roms is very limited and I havent had the time to learn much more than how to root and put in new roms. At the moment Im leery of rooting this phone due to the whole "Void your warranty" thing that motorola has. It may not matter at all since I have insurance, I dont know.

Fair enough, I suppose I did note that I wasn't having much issues. I guess I just got used to getting a new phone and seeing new roms up almost the same week. Thats happened on the last four phones ive had. I may just have to bite the bullet and just unlock my bootloader so that I can root and use it again. I really am only missing one item that I want, but as mentioned above, Im a bit leery on the "void your warranty" to unlock the phone. I was a little put off by the "no drm content" warning too, but then again, I dont usually watch movies on my phone... just lots of crunchyroll.

First post in a new forum acts as your intro imo. We are working towards some roms, just a bit slow going atm.
As for the official unlock, have you looked at this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942243
Can't say I have ever used a warranty having insurance, but may put some of your concerns to rest.

Well I look at this one of two ways...
Either you a) help make those ROM's that come out within a week of the device's release or b) wait for others to release them.
I am usually in the B category, as the most I've done previously was help test and write scripts... I'm attempting to be in the A category myself, but it's not working out real well (as you can tell...)
So, unless you can help, I suggest you continue to wait. It will come, just give it time... the hardware is solid, and I don't see any issue getting CM9 singing. CM10/other stuff will have to wait IMHO until official JB - unless some other breakthru is made, which would be great.
Regardless, patience is a virtue. Everyone is doing this in their free time, for no profit. I hope to have something fruitful in the near future, but I have very little help and am still learning the ropes of Android development in general...
I was contemplating getting init.d working for us, but I think I'll wait a bit longer. League of Legends is calling me.
Seriously though, the ROMs will start flowing when people find issues with what we have now. And since what we have now is as close to stock as it gets with manufacturer skins, people are pretty satisfied. I know I sure am, otherwise I'd have cooked something up already.

Hi guys this is my first time posting although I've been reading these forums for quite some time now
First of all i'd like to thank all the devs that work so hard for this phone. We all appreciate it immensely. :good:
Now down to business.
I've started a petition for LG and T-Mobile to release an update for the T-Mobile G2x (LG-P999).
I know this seems pretty useless at this point but hey its better to try then do nothing at all
I'd really appreciate it if everyone here could show there support and spread this around.
Petition: wwwchangeorg/petitions/lg-and-t-mobile-update-the-lg-g2x-lg-p999-to-android-4-x
Please also visit the lg forums and voice your opinion.
supportlgforumcom/lg/topics/g2x_owners_reply_if_you_want_android_4_0_ics_for_our_g2xs
Were bound to get noticed eventually. If it fails at least we kinda tried to put a thorn in LG's side xD
Thanks guys, please no negativity, im just trying to help us all out after all.
(BTW had to remove periods after www, change, support, and lgforum since im noob and can't post links )
There is a difference between negative and realistic. IMHO it would be a waste of time considering nexus 4 and EULA for the g2x.

RyanLG (Official Rep) 4 days ago
"Nope, those are just the crickets from another thread I recently posted. There is not much else to add to this 160+ comment thread that has been of popular topic for the past year. All I can say is the Thrill finally received a software update to fix many of it's previous hardware and software issues. Nobody saw that coming in a million years and what do you know, it happened! And ever since the complaints have subsided substantially about that particular device and the praise for it is at an all time high. I fully understand the complaints and frustration from all the G2X owners, you deserve some sort of resolution. The best thing you can do at this point is let your voice be heard whether it be here, but more so to LG customer support, the carrier or anywhere else. I will escalate this thread to the top with hopes of some sort of resolution. A similar process benefited the Thrill, so who knows."
What he said is what im doing, trying to get people to voice their opinion about the phone.
Also what he said about the LG Thrill gives me some hope.
If you don't wanna sign the petition i understand but at least go to the official lg forums and "complain".
It may be a long shot and will probably never happen but why not try at least, like RyanLG said, "who knows"?
Maybe just maybe if we get a lot of people to show their frustration and support for an upgrade a miracle will happen.
Won't know for sure unless we try is all i'm trying to say :angel:
Also, since development is practically at a stand still what else is there to do?
Rummage through xda forums everyday hoping for something new? x.x
Maybe we can reach out to other developers with lots of experience to look at the radio problem or build Hackfest roms? We basically only have Maz left and we can't expect him to do everything for us.

Maz is put through maintaining a gingerbread kernel on top of a new project that some users wanted, fixing bluetooth calling. There were some other projects maz had set put to do also. Such a nice guy but lets look at this situation realistically. This phone is a 'sunken ship'.

That'd be awesome if we could contact other devs to help with the ril issue. Problem I see there though is that I'm sure many of those devs are working hard on other projects. Plus, the ril issue is something that is really difficult to resolve (if even possible?) and Idk if more devs would even be of help at this point but nonetheless the more devs working on this phone the better.

I agree maz is super awesome! To me it seems like he's the only dev currently doing anything. Im using his latest beta kernel and my phone is not only snappy but also has awesome battery life so much props to him.
And I have accepted that this phone is a sunken ship but I will never lose hope
The phone is 2 years old at this point in the States. The end of life of the device through T-Mobile was January 2012. The hardware was pretty much a prototype version of the current Tegra 2 platform, and we'll never know the proper way to code for it. The RIL issues will never get fixed, nor did they have a shot to be fixed. If you're still on the device, you're either like me and too poor to afford an upgrade, or somehow stuck in a deal for the phone. If you used an EIP through T-Mo, you can pay it back early instead of monthly and get yourself a new one on the plan.
In the end it comes down to knowing exactly what phones are going to be popular for developers. Nexus devices and the Galaxy line are where you want to be if you want good support. That's where all the action is and will be for some time. The HTC One shows some promise, but with AT&T locking the bootloader, that's one less carrier brand that can be unlocked.
Pick wisely and don't bother with this stuff. Getting your hopes up will only cause you more anger when the truth comes around.
"The hardware was pretty much a prototype version of the current Tegra 2 platform, and we'll never know the proper way to code for it."
Interesting. Are you saying that the entire Optimus 2X line of phones was not based on the Tegra 2 platform used on other phones, but rather an incomplete prototype (probably because they were rushing it to market), or that this is only true for the G2X (aka P999), hence the differences between it and the other models?
