problems of the G2x?

thinking of possibly buying a G2x.... but before buying I wanna hear what problems it has and complaints ppl on here have with it unrooted AND rooted. Or is it good enuff to just go ahead n buy.
cause I enjoyed n LOVED my G2 but I kinda wanna try something new which is why I'm looking at this device.

Anyone?

random reboots, battery pulls due to freezing, terrible battery life.
just wait till gingerbread is out then get the phone.

the only problem I've had with my phone is just the gps taking a long time to lock.. Other than I've been problem free and great battery life

My first one was crashing all the time. I just got a new one and it hasn't crashed yet, but the backlight is too intense and bleeds through. Wait for the S2.

[mod][theme] blue gingerbread (5.25.11)

Thought some of you might want a little Blue over Aerodkng's AWESOME Gingerbread Theme. It's just a little taste until I have finished porting a ROM from the Vibrant... (hopefully by the end of the week.)(IF you want to test & have and know how to use Odin...heh PM ME!!!!)
Flash through CWM!!!

*THIS IS A THEME WITH SOME TWEAKS REMAINING (GREEN ICONS, ETC.) CALL IT A BETA, IF YOU WILL. LIKE I SAID ABOVE, THIS IS JUST MERELY A FUN LITTLE ADDITION TO A GREAT THEME*
GOOD NIGHT!!!
DOWNLOAD:
http://www.multiupload.com/6030LBIL9L

*Some of you may notice the cellular signal bars are grey... they turn blue... i'm just presently in what should be called a bomb shelter...*

jus flash over aerodkng's update?

yeppppppp!

Cant wait to try this in the morning, goin to see hangover 2 now, so unfortunetly I cant check it out yet. How's everyone like it?

while it installs itll say "if brick contact blah blah blah" dont be scared cause it didnt brick mine so its all good on that, the theme i like its cause my fav color is blue and got rid of the battery percentage thats in the battery on the 7.2v which made me agitated so overall very good and just like the regular GBTheme v7.2, hope this helps

this is badass, cuppled together with the extreme blue dialer apk, damn.....
one note though, if u dont want the percentage in the battery, u need to flash and earlier version of aerodkng's gigngerbread, cause i just flashed mines over the 7.4 version, everything is blue but the percentage is still in the battery, lovin it though

pretty badass robbbbit, good job on the tweaks. Looks sweet. will the next beta have an accurate battery charging??? Not sure if you noticed that. Thanks a bunch

be cautions of what verion of aerodkngs gingerbread you flash. anything below 6.5 had wi-fi problems and other issues.

great theme. i really hated the green and blue of the aerokngs gingerbread theme but this put it all blue. only problem i found was while charging the batterys on red while unpluged its 80 percent.
thanks for the work though

Hey Guys. Read through all the comments. thanks! Going to work on the tweaks this afternoon. Trying to port a vibrant rom for us and going through the mounting issues is going to take up most of the day!

android battery bar

ok, a few years back, my windows phone had this really cool app, it was a bar across the top that was 1 or 2 pixels tall, multi colored that displayed the amount of battery left. someone told me it was in a rom, but I can't find it to save my life. maybe one of you has seen it or knows which mod, or anything about it, because I would LOVE to have that stupid little bar back.
Thanks
Pat.

It's built in to Cyanogen mod, if that's available for your particular decide. Not multi color as far as I know though.

sorry if im mistaken, i dont think this feature is on cyanogen mod. It is however on most of the 'MIUI' roms, i think it is standard on there.

Is this possible to have standalone? This would complete my device.

damn, wish it was standalone.. I'm pretty loyal to my current rom, at least until I get the new samsung infuse or whatever it's called.

+1 here, i still use LvmTopBat in my winmo, in colour and its the best. easy to read and always there.
hoping for a port

I like the tactics here

tried an miui sd build (by 3dak, very smooth build) and the top bar is sweeeet. a thin green line which filles up from the right when its charging, and on lockscreen.
i want, i want, want, but i dont want miui ;-)
it would be worth a few dollars even as a paid app,
anyone???

Gingerbread Video- what's new in the update

I took the liberty of showing you guys what gingerbread looks like- on video. New features include Android 2.3.4 (but no video chat on G-Talk?), new T-Mo bloatware, quick settings, etc. check it out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndgl2u2y_8g

Thank goodness YouTube has a mute button.
Thanks for the vid. I could be wrong, but isn't this the first Sense ROM to have Android 2.3.4? Every other version of Sense I've seen has had 2.3.3. Cool!

Thanks I can't wait til this update gets to my phone

First, thanks guys! I'm glad you guys appreciate the video, and for the record this is the ROM that was leaked on Monday, but it's the same as the one T-Mo is rolling out
and my screen works fine, it's just harder to use when your making a video the update didn't do anything screen wise

My screen is very responsive running on Virtuous Unity. I noticed that too on the video. I'd hope an update wouldn't make your screen unresponsive. He may not have been touching right those few times. Also, some apps get like that from time to time where they get a little unresponsive

so basically nothing changed like i dont really see a difference looks wise i mean i would rather flash and all so i can get nice themes and all

Turn Around Pt. 2- Flo Rida

I noticed that they changed the camera as well, it now has more effects. The calculator has been tweaked as well. And this may be just me, but the battery life seems better. I'm still in green and usually by now I'm in yellow.

Has there been any issues from the OTA update, other than not being able to root? Has the suspend issue been fixed?

I love the fact it has the "4G" instead of "H"

All those satisfied with g2x GTFIH

Now i know LG abandoned this ship. I'm just as pissed off as the next guy about that one. I wouldn't mind an official jb or at least an ics update. But either way, I'm honestly quite satisfied with this phone and its performance. I'm running standard cm7 nightlies (latest) with Trinity t15 kernel and wolf script mod. Battery life is decent and bad when i whore wifi but that's the biggest iissue with my g2x. With all the hate threads around this forum there have to be others who have positive experiences with this device.

This phone is awesome. Since I started carrying around my portable nuclear power plant all my battery issues are gone.
Seriously though, if you use the phone the battery will drop. That is a law of physics you can't avoid. My problem with this phone was that with stock ROM the battery dropped a lot even when I did absolutely nothing. CM7 solved that, so I am happy.
I still don't get sufficient standby life so I am working on fixing an old HTC amaze (fixed bootloop, now waiting for screen to arrive). My wife's amaze can get over 4 days of standby and I just noticed that she has not rebooted it in close to 400 hours.
-- The noob says:
Believe you me... Apple suggested LG for Nexus 4

4 days of standby time? Sorry this is the g2x forum I don't know what that means.
Lol that's crazy!
I have about six months left until I'm available for an upgrade. Thinking the new s4, razor or nexus.

I agree this is still a pretty slick phone. I'm loving the dual boot setup with CM7/Trinity ELP as my runner and CM10.1 as my gaming/test platform. I'd probably be way more disappointed with the phone if I was stuck with stock software, but thanks to the awesome devs and their work I'm very happy with this phone.

I am currently running cm7 with Mazout360's kernel and wolfscript. I have themed my phone to be as similar to ICS/JB as possible, as that was the only way I could return to GB. I am very content with how it turned out.
In the end, I have accepted that I will probably never have fully functioning ICS or JB on this phone. But, I guess all that I was really looking for was that updated look and crisp feel, which I have since obtained!
Although I will move on to some sort of Nexus when I have better funding, I am satisfied with the g2x.
The only problem I seem to have with cm7 is this noticeable static flicker that appears very quickly after turning on the display. It only seems to do that with cm7 roms.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but is it possible to get the jellybean notification bar on gingerbread? Like with notifications you can swipe away and quick message replies to texts and all that. That might be the only thing keeping me on jellybean right now because I love the way it feels so intuitive and such.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I can swipe away notifications, that's something GB can do already I think. As for quick replys to messages and emails and such, I don't think so.
At least as far as I know.
I miss those features too, but I guess we can't have everything.
There are apps for pop up notifications though.

I can also swipe away notifications. Actually i found that out on mistake, had a few too many whisky cokes and tried responding to a text and swiped it away lol

Oh I went straight from Froyo on my old Optimus V to Jellybean on the G2X (I rooted and installed Paranoid Android right away) so I thought swipe notifications was a Jellybean thing. I'll install a Gingerbread ROM when I get back from work and try to make it look and feel like JB.
On topic, yes I'm very satisfied with my G2X, but that might also be because I wasnt expecting a high end phone when I bought it from eBay a few months ago. Also I have a Nexus 7 for any apps that I use that require a hardware accelerated jellybean.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

AFAIK swipe notifications is a CM7 thing in GB ROMs.

The g2x works best if you chant "humba lumba humba" while standing on one leg!

I though problems would be fixed by updates.
And once rooted and a with custom rom
Everything was going to be working good like the days of the HTC G1.

For those of you who are content with cm7, even though it is old software, I am working on my "Speedster" rom. It is still quite alpha but my goals is to optimize CM7 for our G2xs. I am also doing a bunch of software updates inside and using Mazkrnl to have speed and stability. I use the latest ADW launcher in it and JB sounds so it really gives CM7 new life and gives it a great CM10 feel. I can't do anything about play store, still limited to 2.3 aps. No google keep/now

Pie, I'm willing to flash your rom whenever its out of the alpha stage. Or let me know if you need a tester

I use this for the theme.
