G2x update

Just went to the local store and was going to by a g2x for my wife out of stock while I was there, guess who a LG REP I probed her for questions did not answer me why no longer on sale, could not tell me but she did assured me that LG will. Be pushing an update VERY SOON.. what ever that means
P.s. she was not as hot as the LG girl

Funny guy right here., it's on the site yes but you can't order it. If you had hooked on phonics, and you would probably read the recent thread about the issue before posting

that was a bit un-necessary eh? you can see the "add to cart" button is greyed out. it's pretty much confirmed. The phone is no longer, for the moment at least, up for grabs on the t-mob site and I would guess in stores. just a guess tho

watch t-mo will probably say hey you can trade in your g2x for the new sensation. and watch everyone get pissed cause of the locked bootloaders and tmo will be laughing their asses off

Its better to keep your mouth closed and let everyone think you're a fool than to open and confirm it.

Do you think there will be 2 updates: one to fix the current issues and the other Gingerbread, or 1 update that combines the two? I hope it's both. Right now my phone is on it's way here. I will test to see if I have the same problems as others have.

I would love to live in your dream world.

Update is any day now...they pulled the remaining stock because of two reasons...
1. QC issues with the first few batches
2. The update will need to be applied OTA so it proly makes more sense to do that in house then sell the phones....
these are my OPINIONS, btw...I know I come across as like I know something, but I'm actually an idiot...do not listen to me

I hear you. I want to keep the G2x. I hate HTC Sense. I don't want the Sensation or any other phone or I would of waited. They need to send out a major update ASAP to fix all the software issues. As far as screen bleed. Replacement with a new batch if LG fixes ?

Weirdly enough my backlight bleed resolved itself. It was pretty bad now its not there at all. I agree it needs to be fixed and I think they're just processing the boatload of returns they got on the device.
And the Sensation is a rather large downgrade from the G2x... The Snapdragon's graphics capability is less than half what the G2x pulls stock, let alone when overclocked. I'd leave T-Mobile if they tried to force a Sensation down my throat.

Me too lol I would not take a sensation at ALL!

Oh, I don't want the Sensation either. If I did, I would have already returned the G2X and used my Vibrant until then. I am sticking to what I said before and that is, I feel that the G2X is the better device that will hold me over until Tmo gets there SGSII variant. I have wanted that phone since I saw it.
I made my comment because I don't think T-Mobile would ever take our devices back, give us a different phone and discontinue the G2X completely. Thats a serious loss of revenue. No company in there right mind would do that. The most T-mobile will do is replace our phones with working ones from a new batch.

They can have my g2x.... when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. I ain't gonna update ****. My phone works perfectly. Even though I was a bit disapoonted with the can boasting 8mp and have suck ass features this phone rocks. I hope those who do have issues get some justice though.
"If Satan lived in heaven he'd be me.... "

Would anyone be able to link the post regarding the g2x being pulled? I'm just getting into the android world and the g2x is my first android device and I love it. I can't even find a example of the screen bleed everyone is talking about.
Guess I don't have the issue since I love my screen, but the constant radio bounce is annoying, so is the phone turning off in the middle of the night and not waking me when it's time to go to work. But that had only happen once.

Galaxy S 4G for free

T Mobile has a web only deal for a Samsung Galaxy S 4G for free ending today.
For those of you that have one, can you please let me know what you think of it ? I guess it ends today so they can clear stock for the HTC sensation, but I dont think I'll be able to afford one of those, so this seems like a sweet deal.
some honest opinions would be appreciated, good or bad.

I bet its the same deal they did with the g2, you have to make a new plan/new line of service with a web plan to get the special deal. They wouldn't even work with me on the phone over it.

Get this phone cause I'm telling you ya won't regret it. Ever since one of the devs(drhonk) got the phone to test on things are blowing up around here(I mean that in a good way ) we have cwm and a few roms and alot of Tweaks that are gonna make that sgs4g fly and all your friends are gonna be like "wtf, I wish my phone would perform like that". Lol. But yes I would definitely recommended it especially if its for free. I mean come on that's a deal.
**edit** if what flyinbird93 says is true then that sucks I thought it was free upgrade when trading in your existing phone

Yes, it's an online only deal, but it seems pretty awesome.
I'm giving up on Verizon since my home area is a known trouble spot, and they're letting me out of my contract for free.
So come on, be honest, let me know all the pros and cons...battery life ? Camera good ? Is Video chat any good ? Is the 4G service good ?

wow. didn't last long. out of stock already

Too bad. I scored two for free with a new contract over mothers day weekend. Do not regret it at all. Get on the back order list off you can.
On the moon our weekends are so advanced they encompass the entire week

I'm trying to get my friend to get one but they are out of stock! Sucks!

There is no better phone, even for the 150-300 some could pay for it. I doubled my original speeds in one day just by grabbing the latest updates here. Trying to get my g/f to snag me another s4g for free during this deal for my daughter, its gonna be a family phone here, lol.

Got the same deal
They had this deal about a month and a half back. This is how I ended up with the phone. I switched over from sprint and am loving every minute of it. Not too big on the unlimited data but only 2gb of high speed cap they have in place but its cool. There is a lot going on with this phone right now to make it really bad ass, hell it is a beast completely stock.

i've had the SGS4G for a little over a month and i love it, and its gotten better the past few weeks with all the roms and other dev stuff coming out for it. it's prob just as good as the HTC Sensation for the value since you'd be paying a lot more for the Sensation now. the specs are pretty equal i think, the only thing is that it doesnt have a notification LED and no camera flash/LED either, but thats not too big an issue so i dont mind as much now.

I have no complaints about the phone myself. I was sad about the internal storage but once you fota fix that problem is solved. As far as notification light - I use Bali kernel which has BLN support. My four buttons on the bottom light up whenever I have a notification. The ext4 mod makes my phone super snappy and responsive and I can't wait until we get voodoo on top of that.
My co-worker used the Sensation over the weekend and said it seems to have some odd connectivity issues when making phone calls/texts/using data. http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-SENSATION-4G/Sensation-4G-Data-Connectivity-Issues/td-p/875585 Every phone has it's flaws but I hope it isn't plagued by bugs like the G2X (which is an AWESOME phone but just needs a software update).
Don't get me wrong, The Sensation is a beast but I'm not a big fan of Sense UI. I prefer Go Launcher or Launcher Pro. Heck I'd even use the stock Gingerbread launcher over Sense. If you try to run an alternate launcher over Sense it seems to bog the phone down (at least on pre-dual core phones). This probably wont be a problem once they unlock the bootloader though.

Let the results speak for them selves I mean were literally blowing other phone out the water thanks to this community.

Can you point me in the right direction for this mod? I have frost bionix running, and this mod would just be the icing on the cake. Thanks!
Also, I took advantage of this deal and now my dad will have one of these awesome phones just in time for fathers day. We got the 200 mb data free for a year too. If you take advantage of this deal, make sure to call and ask for free data/10.00 off your data (if you want more than 200 mb)
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App

Sure. The kernel that bionix comes with has bln support. You need to download the bln app from the market. To make it work you need to push a file to /system/lib/hw. You can find a link to the post that has this file on the bali kernel's thread. It's the fix by chadster I believe.

T-Mobile swapping me to the my touch 4g

So thought I was in the clear with this phone, I started having problems again. Called T-Mobile and now they are now sending the my touch 4g NIB. Umm am I getting the shaft here. Bottom line is I want a phone that works. But I don't know much about this phone and am afraid I'm gettting the shaft. I really think T-Mobile is the worst carrier ever!! I knew I should've went with a bigger carrier. Sigh :-(

As far as I'm concerned, you're getting ripped off. That phone came out around November or December of last year? It is also only single core as opposed to dual core, as well as many other advantages the G2x has over it...
I'm not sure of your issues, but obviously a working phone is better than a broken one.

The mytouch 4g is a really nice phone. Should the g2x be swapped for it? I don't think so. I don't think its a fair trade off especially since a week and a half ago they were giving mytouch 4g's for free on a new contract

Tmo offered me a MT4G as well, I kindly declined since I already had one. I just got my third replacement and the screen bleed is even worse than my second lol. Number 4 is now on it's way.

After 5 they offered me to upgrade early on the line so I said yes they let me keep the g2x which runs well just the screen bleeds...I gave in took the sensation for a second phone and hopefully when the update for the g2x comes out ill give my wife the sensation. Best option all the way around...

Oh man, working phone you would want, but definitely downgraded in terms of **** on the phone! Call them back! HURRY!

May have to do with what the manufacturer is allowing them to do.

T-Mobile is not going to offer Sensations to the masses. They cannot send the G2X back to LG since it's outside of 30 days and they would have to eat the cost of the Sensation. Some people got the Sensation but most are not. The only reason why I did is because T-Mobile ****ed up and notated my account with the **** up.

Thank you for the replies. I am not that techy I only know how to follow instructions lol. I can't cancel now, but will be sending them back the mytouch and will be giving them a phone call and telling them they can take the offer and stick it where the sun don't shine! (maybe in not in those exact words, but I will make sure they get the point.) I can't believe how they are not taking care of there customers. This is so frustrating, especially with all the problems that have arose with this phone. I had one Rep tell me flat out "sorry your stuck with it" wtf!? I love this phone. I don't want an excuse to get a sensation or anything like that. I just want it to work damnitt!

Tell them you want $120 and the MT4g and it's a fair deal

Even the Galaxy S 4G would have been a better deal....

If you want a mytouch, ask for the upcoming mytouch slide, not the mytouch 4g cr4p.

From a g2x yes its a major downgrade.
Having a mt4g side by side with the x the screen is inferior....majorly inferior. Colors are nowhere near as vivid when compared to the x. Hardware wise.....well battery life is good when rooted and running a good rom. My wife uses it and gets easily all day and she's a realestate agent and emails and calls galore she comes home with 35-50% battery every day. At charge time at night she's down to maybe 25% if she plays on it.
The hardware buttons are nice but come loose after a bit. I do miss trackpad tho.
Regardless its a serious downgrade and should not have been accepted by you.
ITS ALL WONKY!!!

The Gslate is there, which is the same exact thing but bigger lol.. Does that make u feel better?

They most likely want to advertise their most expensive phones to the greatest extent. Plus the g2x may be out of stock.

I was just on my.t-mobile.com changing my voice plan. (finally getting rid of My Favs, now I get 200 extra anytime minutes for the same price I was paying)
There is a part of the main page of the site that shows a pic of my phone and provides a link labeled "not your phone?" This space has shown an MT3G since I upgraded my WinMo Wing 2 years ago, even though I have been using an N1 for over a year. For whatever reason I was always a bit leery of clicking the link and letting them know I'm not using the phone they sold me.
Today I said what the heck, I bought my G2x from a B&M T-Mo store. I went ahead and clicked the link only to find that the G2x is not an option.
The Bastages...

Should I buy a G2x?

Should I buy a G2x or buy the Sensation 4G for $40 more? This is the only phone within my budget right now thats dual core, I wish I could get the Galaxy S2 but its nowhere to be found for less than $500 and I dont wanna spend that much.

And is the screen bleed issue appears at a later time or is it there from the beginning? I will look for it when buying but is it a possibility that it could appear at a later time?
Whats a good price for the phone?

Dnt make a mistake by buying g2x no ics update for it

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I recommend going to the store, checking out both phones and going from there. Both phones have their issues and positives, so it comes done to which one is more of your liking.
Also I would think there is a higher possibility of the Sensation getting ICS than the G2X so that is def a plus for Sensation.
Good luck.
Hercules Hercules!!

I would get the SGS2 because its newer and it will more than likely get the ICS update. The G2x is a bada$$ phone but if you are looking for the most up to date phone I would get the SGS2.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I'm with the guy above me, I love my G2X but I wouldn't recommend any LG product to anyone at this point.

1) How much would you be spending on the G2X?
2) It's a very powerful, fast phone -- it does have a few software quirks and GPS lock-on isn't the fastest I've seen. Mod ROMs may be helpful.
3) Battery life has been quite good since the Gingerbread update.
4) The G2X may still get ICS from LG as stock, there has been absolutely no announcement regarding it not getting updated and it's just a mass assumption right now since, well, it's LG. Ignore the FUD, though it would be nice if LG would just say yes or no.

You guys don't say why you wouldn't buy it though? I'm getting it for $220 USED but mint condition.
I simply cannot spend 2x that amount for the Galaxy S2, I don't think its worth two times as much especially the Tmobile one with the crappy 1.5ghz Snapdragon processor.

My opinion is... Dont support LG (because they wont support you), buy it used or dont buy it at all

Im buying it used not from the store, thats why its $220... I would pay $220 for the SGS2 but it wont be for that price for atleast another year.

hopefully you don't get one of those that has a faulty chipset, where little to no matter what you do, your phone will reboot, get hot while charging, get frozen on black screen while attempting to wake the phone (screen of death), insane back light bleed... buying this phone used is seriously a shot in the dark as you won't be bale to actually test things out and then be able to return it... I love mine cause I don't have these issues. Others went through 3 or more before they got a good one or just gave up. Good luck to you.

I can't perform any tests to make sure its not a lemon?

Put your sim in phone and try some GPS. see how long it takes. Also see what baseband its on. Far as reboot issues mine has been 100% flawless and I got it used as well. You can't really test the reboot issues unless it does it right off the bat.
