Am I the only one with no issues

Had the phone on day 1, hour 1 the 20th and have had not 1 odd issue. Everyone here seems to hate their device, I'm coming from a vibrant which was cool too but this is way better....
How come y'all having so many issues and I haven't had 1... Anyone else have no issues like me?
I love this phone and its perfect for me.....

I got the phone yesterday too and so far I don't have an issue. Came from Vibrant as well. I do see a little bleeding on top of the screen, but this is not an issue for me.

My first phone had a lot of bleeding, switched it out for another and it barely has any. That's the only problem I've really run into.

My first unit had the restart problem but I replaced it at the tmo store and this new one is working fine and is almost up to the two day uptime since its initial boot.

I also got my phone on the 20th and everything have been running perfect. This phone is just amazing. The only thing I miss about my droid Incredible was the MIUI ROM.

I've had one reboot, but 2-1/2 days since then without any problems. I was a bit concerned about battery life for the first couple of days, but I've been off-charger for about 7 hours now with light usage and the battery is still at 83%, which is fine. Otherwise, no problems other than minor software issues (kinetic scrolling parameters, Qik has a version incompatibility with iPhone, I can't add applications to Car Home).

This tends to happen a lot. The people who are happy are content and don't usually post about it. Conversely, those who have issues, or think they have issues, end up posting about them, so you basically just end up with a bunch of negative discussions.
This is my 4th Android phone (G1, Nexus One, Epic 4G, and now the G2X), and by far the best one I've ever owned, ever.

I've had mine since the 20th and so far have had no problems at all. I activated it in the store and had a slight concern when it seemed to freeze up for a few minutes after it asked about synching my apps. However, I waited a few minutes and apparently it was indexing everything, because once it came back to normal I checked my apps and everything was there. Both the T-Mo rep and I were surprised to see all the apps back as well as my contacts, emails, and texts. Gotta love that Google cloud!
My only complaint (if you can even call it that) is that I can't tell which end is up when I pick it up. I came from a Nexus One and that trackball was a huge clue for where the top of the phone was. This phone is so dark with its new black gel case that I usually pick it up upside down and struggle to find the power button. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually. Glad to see all my apps working with no hiccups, and I was fortunate not to get one with any screen bleed or unexpected restarts. Hope this keeps up.

i thought i had the wifi/4g problem but it was a mistake on my part. had the phone little over 24 hours and not a problem thus far

Most Happy people wont go to xda to create a thread and tell people how perfect and great their phone is.
Xda is clearly not the place for that. Im one of them. I have no issues with my phone, it has been great, fast and reliable.
Im just lurking around the G2X forums waiting for development updates.

No problems on my phone.

No problems with my phone.

Only a small amount of screen bleed here, and for some reason I can't get it to connect to hspa only umts. Other than that great. Sucks though my vibe got hspa.

No "send it back" issues here
my data connection sometimes locks up and seems slower than my vibrants connections. but i'm sure newer basebands/radios will come out and hopefully fix all that. a tiny bit of bleeding on top corner but nothing noticeable...i'm loving it....wish it had 768 ram but it has enough, haven't ran into many problem in that area, i have almost 300 apps and a multitask alot so i'm hopping this one doesn't kill my adw ex in the backround..i have it on persistent but it can still kill it if it wants....fingers crossed that's never an issue. so far love the phone....now waiting on the cable for the HDMI to come in the mail, and screen protectors.

One day 1, I had a couple random reboots. Days 2 and 3 have so far been completely error free. I have very little LCD bleed, only a tiny bit in the top corners that I can barely notice. Standby battery life has improved immensely as well. Down to 3-4% battery per hour which is very good on a stock ROM/kernel.
I'm totally satisfied.

I really like the phone and am keeping it but there's no question it has issues. Everyone uses their phone differently which is why we are having different experiences. I rely on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth heavily and LG's implementation of both is quirky causing erratic behavior. T-Mobile really screwed up the data management settings with their My Account app allowing the phone to use native data when set to Wi-Fi only. You're experiencing that whether you realize it or not.
I was in a T-Mobile store and they allowed me to play around with the configuration of their demo unit. I could replicate almost all the strangeness I experienced on my phone. Someone who uses the phone differently may never see the issues I'm having. Either software updates from LG or a replacement ROM will cure most of the problems that have been posted so in the end the phone will still be a good choice.

No issues here...
Flawless...

Mine is fantastic, I dont seem to have any screen bleed or reboots but ive noticed it seems like it lags sometime coming from the lock-screen but doesn't affect anything. All we need now are some custom roms.....

[Q] Whats the problem?

I see people on the forums posting all these issues . I never had any . I use my g2x everyday for school . The battery life is pretty good too i was able to get 70% still even through usage in school. I 1st had a nexus one it was a great phone but it had little memory for apps even when i had a sd card . I personally think the g2x is a great phone. It has plenty of memory space the screen isn't that bad compared to some devices. Although it didn't come with a sd card or earphones which is pretty bootleg to me but i have the phone and its great. So whats up with all these problems?

Mines perfect too but it is the 4th one. It's a shame it takes 3 returns to get a perfect phone.

Well, obviously some people have genuine issues, but more than anything it's new phone syndrome. Everyone is looking over their phones, testing them, playing with them. Realistically, if you stare at anything long enough, you can find a flaw, and when someone points a minor, barely noticeable flaw they discovered on their phone out to someone else, they either see the same flaw and freak out about it too, or imagine it.

While I do agree with what you stated I know in my case it is not just cosmetics it is a phone that is not functional and erratic. I am to receive a third one hopefully by Thursday. So far the first was unacceptable and the second was absolutely unusable. It is a shame as I really do like a lot of things about this phone.

Well i guess it is pretty normal, but i really just don't understand why you would point out a problem of your new phone that you paid your hard earned money for.

So, if you bought a new car and it had issues you would just keep quiet?
I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, but what you just said makes no sense.
People are pointing out there issues to see if others are having the same problem and possibly find a solution to the problem.
It also helps people who have not yet bought the phone to see what kind of issues it is having to determine if they still want to get it or wait until they are resolved.

8 Hours in after a 100% with at least 3 or so plus hours now with Blue tooth on and sitting at 35% now listening to music still and going to try and kill it before I'm off at 9. Let alone im twittering and using the 4g net to look at some things from twitter.

I'm not saying to keep quiet or anything but i see a ton of problems and yet i have no issues what so ever.

I just exchanged for the 2nd time today, and I am now on my 3rd g2x. The first one had light bleeding, and rebooted over 10 time the first day.
2nd one had the light bleed on a black screen, and a brown stain across the bottom of the screen when on a white background, and 3 dead pixels. The brown stain was very noticable, and anyone I showed the phone said something before I pointed it out. Worst, the gps couldn't lock my location to save its life. One day I kept trying for 40 minutes and the g2x never locked the location, even after factory resets and several reboots. I had to get on WIFI to make it work. Today it would find a location, but it was almost a mile away from me. It continued doing this throughout the day as I went to other locations. So I returned it.
Just opened up my 3rd one. I'm told they just got a new shipment today, and it's out of that shipment. My hopes are high! I turn on the phone, I tell myself this is the one. This one is going to have a display that doesn't bleed. Wouldn't you know i'm greeted to backlight bleed. But this one is worst than the pictures on the forums, and by far worst than the first 2 phones.
I'm beside myself. The phone runs so smooth, and I really want a dual core stock android phone. But between the reboots, the bleeding screen, the dead pixels, the gps that doesn't work, I think it's time to throw in the hat.
I'm trying one more time, but this time i'm going to pay the restock fee, and go to a different store. If this one is bunk, that's it, i'm done. I'm waiting for the next "super phone". I read a lot about the nexus one having major issues when I got it (ordered the day it came out), but I never had any. Maybe this is just a luck of the draw thing, and i'm exceptionally unlucky this time. But it seems a lot of other people on these forums are having the same issues.

Not a single issue for me..perfect coming from a vibrant..

I'm having a problem with the external sd card on my phone. Its locked up, not locked, like password, but locked as in it says its a read only filesystem, and no matter what I do I can't edit the files or the permissions. can some one please give me some ideas on what I can do?

Im ecstatic that I finally made the switch to Tmo last week, just for this phone. Ive been with ATT, and their Android lineup, which imo, Captivate is the only one worth hanging on to.
Ive been watching Tmo for the last 3 years get the G1, N1, Nexus S, and now the G2x. Had enuff, and left ATT last week. Got out of one ETF, but still ended up with $345 ETFs on other 2 lines. And I dont regret it one bit so far. Even went on a Craigslist selling spree of all my ATT Androids except my Cappy (loved that phone).

No issues here ... on my 4th g2x though.
I agree that some people are just nit picking their phone, but that's ok - they spent a lot of hard-earned cash on this phone and they should get one that acceptable to them.
My first 3 had major issues:
1st one had the brown "stain" across the bottom of the screen and along the entire right side.
2nd one had reception, wifi and data connectivity issues.
3rd one started FC ing every time I touched the Android to set up the phone and if I skipped initial setup so I could connect to wifi. If I did get it set up, then it was just wonky - random reboots, lockups that required a battery pull, a couple of factory resets because I got stuck in the "checking system" bootloop. !Oy vey!
My 4th g2x is acceptable. Minor lcd bleeding, but I only notice it on the splash screen and the boot and power off animations. Can't see it when playing games or watching a movie in a dark room, so I'm ok with it.
As someone said earlier, its a shame it takes so many "attempts" to get an acceptable phone. But, to T-Mo's credit, at least they are doing what they can to make it right. They've been good to me about the exchanges and never really hassled me about any of them.

Mine is fine.
LCD backlight breeding is minimal and it's not enough to bother me, but ogg vorbis tag problem is more important.

Minimal backlight bleeding. Everything else is great.

Mines fine. One reset once... hasn't happened again and its been quite a while... love this phone

hardware or software
After all ur exchanges, did u get a feeling that this might be an hardware issue? (I know lcd bleeding is but.. all the other issues). Then i think it is ideal to wait out for an update from t mo or google or some custom dev for fixing all these issues right? I know when u have an option to switch , we go for it but just chkng if it is becaus of hardware that we are bound to do that...

I personally think that the screen is great, my girlfriend has the Samsung Droid Charge and although its a bit sharper I think the display on the G2x is nicer than that AMOLED on the Samsung Droid Charge.

Fixed the yellow screen tint and viewing angle on my g2x

i figured this out today so check it out and let me know.
after heading home from the tmobile store with my 4th g2x after 3 returns for various issues (i have to be the unluckiest guy ever). the last time, my G2x (tmobile) was fine when i turned it on to sync but after turning it off and to let it charge after draining initial battery i pulled out my G Tablet.
the g tablet has nvidia tegra 2 as well and is almost exactly the same as the g2x in many specs. the LG G-slate was said to work with the g2x great which is why i assume they released them at the same time.
i hadnt used my gtab much since i got my phone so i reset it with vegan-gingerbread rc1. well in the new Vegan gingerbread settings i had (before reset i had same rom. just wanted clean install) changed a few things to tweak it. one in particular is said to help tablets look better or at least the G tablet. the setting is also in CM7 series i believe. its the one the flips your screen 180 Degrees then you use auto-sensor for landscape or portrait mode.
after messing around i turned on my phone and it synced again with the backup settings that i had just synced to my GMAIL which i use for 2 devices instead of 1. i hadnt thought about it before since i had a vibrant but now my screens color was yellowish tinted. it looked normal from one side (blueish) and yellow straight on or from the other side.
basically changed the setting to be sure and unchecked automatic backup and restore settings under privacy in settings menu on tablet. connected to internet to make sure it deletes googles server copy, and make sure you have background data and autosync on when you uncheck it. then turn them all off and disconnect device from wifi to make sure it doesnt autosync when it is turned on again.
i factory reset my G2x (you may have to hard reset if factory reset doesnt work) and it resynced during initial set of android for gmail. NO MORE YELLOWISH TINT
I believe this can be affected not just by the G tablet but any device also synced to you gmail in addition to your phone which would be changing your settings and causing MANY problems. if you have and CM roms or have that setting try this and post results here.
Hopefully this helps

ummm....I read your post like 3 times and I still don't get exactly what you did.
1. the home orientation settings is in many launcher applications
2. what about the people who only have 1 device synced to a gmail account and still bleed?
3. IIRC backlight bleed is hardware related. It's due to an improper seal between the edge of the lcd and the frame.

i changed the post 2 min after you posted.
there is a setting that lets you flip the screen 180 degrees when auto-switching orientations. mainly ive seen it settings for tablet but it was in my buddies CM settings for his mytouch 3g rom.
use the info for what its worth. just looking to solve these issues so we can have the badass phone we all paid for.

I was expecting a tale of badassery about opening the phone and sealing the screen. Color me disappointed. For the record, the bleed is a hardware issue. No amount of hard resets can change that.

found the fix. return the phone hahah. i am on my 5th and final g2x and there is no bleeding. finally! but if angle it to the side i can see some light from the edge but you can't see it unless your looking at the phone sideways so thats good enough for me. i recommend everyone return them until they get a good one. i made sure to open in at the store and go into a dark place to turn it on to check it before leaving with it again.

How Could a Gmail sync have any effect on screen tint? STOP IT! You're making my brain itch.

Third Phone - Not the Charm!

Just got my third G2x from T-Mobile. I'm running LauncherPro. I must have done something wrong because I backed up to SD card but after installing new phone it gave me an error reading SD card. I had to reset everything!
Anyway, I got a 2nd replacement (this is number 3 phone) because the 2nd one continued to have the random reboot issues.
This one is different from the other two. The icons in the top bar are smaller and the GPS signal button is different. Could this be an upgraded software?
It states Android 2.3.3, kernel version 2.6.32.9 and Software version LG-P999-V21e
Trouble is, this phone is way worse than either of the first two! I think only 1 reboot so far (1 day) but 3 times now after the phone sleeps I have to remove battery to turn it back on! And it will not allow me to mount the phone as a USB. Sometimes the message appears to turn on USB but it will not work. Touching the screen does nothing. Then the screens start to rapidly change.
Looking like number 4!

What other programs have you installed? These types of issues are almost always apps and not the OS or the hardware. The fact you are having similar problems with three phones seems to indicate that even more. Stop blaming the device and figure out what you are doing to it to screw it up.

Try installing the GB drivers to your computer via LG. That's what I had to do to get my phone to mount.

I agree. "I went through 8 G2x's and all of them did the same thing after I restored my backup..."
Also, get off the stock firmware as it is absolutely unstable (Sleep of Death (SOD) and resets). I've been running MIUI since mid-August and haven't had 1 reset or SoD. Most CM7 nightly builds are good but a few will cause issues. Look at the stable version of CM7 or Weapon.

The stock Gingerbread firmware is absolutely rock solid. I have been running it since it was released and have had zero problems. The only change to the system is that I rooted it. If I install an app that gives me the slightest trouble I uninstall it immediately. There is nothing wrong with the GB rom as LG delivered it. The Froyo rom did have problems, but the GB rom is very good. Many of the custom roms are based on it and just have hacks and tweaks. Very few are compiled from source like CM is.

Update to Phone
First, let me say that T-Mobile Customer Service is great! Every time I call or visit the store they are friendly and try their best to help me.
I called T-Mobile and explained the issues on this phone, as one person wrote above the "SOD". She walked me through a bunch of steps, and I'm fine with that, I understand she has to be sure i have done all the typical troubleshooting. She confirmed that the new one had GB.
She is sending phone number 4 out today. Meanwhile she said go by the store to have them check the battery, just in case. I did that, it was kind of funny. Gal says, no need to test it, I'll just grab a new one. She comes back and inserts new battery, "There ya go, brand new battery". Ah, Miss, I say, it won't turn on now. "No, that can't be, its a new battery". She finally went and got me yet another new battery!
Hopefully this 4th phone will do the trick.
As for the apps, maybe I do need to uninstall some, but it seems like what I have are all mainstream apps:
Launcherpro
Beautiful Widgets
Touchdown Pro
Pure Calendar
Juice Defender
Batter Monitor Widget (free edition)
All of the above are paid apps too, not free versions (except Battery Monitor).
Any thoughts, known issues on these?
Thanks!

All those are pretty common apps, none of which I've had trouble with. Juice defender has been a cause of connectivity, etc issues for some people, but works fine on all my devices.
If I were you I would ***** until they replaced it with a Sensation, Amaze, SGS2, etc. I've seen so many people with 3,4,5,6 replacements on this board....why? As much as I like the form factor, the G2x is not worth 4 replacements. NO product is worth 4 replacements. Needing to have a product replaced is one thing, having to replace the replacement, or more, is ridiculous. Fool me once....
At what point do you say, "wow screw this POS." 4 replacements is a company jacking you around. I got lucky with a mostly mint G2x on launch day. Had it had issues I would have replaced it, beyond that..... the G2x is a nice phone, but there is absolutely zilch nada NOTHING special enough about it to deserve 4 replacements.
I don't mean to sound like a douche or harsh or anything. I just don't get why this is a recurring theme on this board. Would you do this with a pair of jeans, or with a TV, or with tires? No. The product sucked the first time, why repeat the experience?

I hear ya Adamhart. On the phone with CS today I asked this very question. She said I was not eligible for a different pone ... yet. She indicated that x number of returns within 90 days usually trips the option. First sign of trouble on number 4 and I will be calling. When the phone is working I like it, but I'd happily trade it for something else.
Thanks for the note on Juice Defender, I noticed on another thread some issues so for the moment I have it turned off.

Fouth Phone Arrived
So number 4 arrived next day. I set it up. Such a pain to have to reinstall everything. So far all is good. The battery life is not improved but one day later with no reboots and it starts up without a problem (no sleep of death!).
So far so good.....

I' ve been using an extended battery for a few months now and its been great. No reboots or SOD issues.
Couple of weeks ago I insert the stock battery. Within the hour I have 1 freeze up and 3 SOD! That stock battery is defective. Its been the cause of 80% of my problems with this device.

4th phone has same problems. Already posted a rant! I'm going to try rooting!

You know I never had a problem with my g2x and I see all these people going thru 3-6 phones THANK GOD I'm not on that statics.

I broke my last one (slammed it on concrete) so got a replacement through Asurion, they sent me a refurb (as they tend to do).
thing worked well for the first day, albeit a bit weak on battery, then started having charge issues and general mis-reporting on the battery (it'd say 100% when it meant 20%, around 5 hours after being unplugged it would drop very steeply (~75%) to catch up)
I noticed on the 1809#*999# menu that the Factory Version was registering as Unknown. After a few more days of it being a pain in the ass I went ahead and did a Factory Reset. After which the Factory Version reported the correct numbers.
Works almost flawlessly now, I'm getting a good 30 hours of battery life out of the thing (mostly texting + standby). I'm currently using the default launcher with Go Contacts and Go SMS (It sucks Go Contacts can't clear missed calls properly on 2.3.3 but it's a minor complaint), Facebook, Battery Monitor Widget (3c), and a few other small apps.
Also, I noticed on my first phone that JuiceDefender seemed to cause Sleep of Death issues. At least thats what the process of elimination had me believe (and this was back on Froyo). IMO - just leave everything alone with regards to task killers and battery enhancers, GB actually does a very good job of battery management on its own.

I continued to have trouble with number 4. Called T-Mo. Long story short they said "nothing we can do until LG comes out with new software update".
Phone is just not useable the way it is (mine that is) so I finally followed the advice of so many on this board and I rooted the phone and installed CM7.
I was a little freaked out a first because CM7 looks so different. Now I am comfortable with it. I have loaded up all the apps and configurations again. So far it is good. A couple of times the phone shut down but that may be more to all the changes I have been doing. One the whole it is far more stable than stock. Battery life is a tad improved too, but still not great.

My mom is about to embark on her third try. She doesn't download apps at all. Phone won't hold call for more than a minute.

Got 3 days HOX

URGH man I love this phone the look, the feel, the screen, the camera its beautiful and its main features are #1, WTF does it have to drop wifi signal and multitask like crap? So my AT&T guy is going to let me exchange it hopefully to try a different model number and hopefully get one without the wifi hardware issue, I can deal with the multitask until a custom rom has that wiped and the camera working like stock. The wifi dropping when im surfing is not bearable. I dont want to go to a SGS3 what an eye sore, glossy plastic, pysical home button, really and they dont want to be like apple? Why dont you stick a fricken light switch on it. What are you doing guys is your wifi making you want to smash it like me? I got 3 days to go in an exchange and then he said if im still not satisfied he will extend my 30 days to try a SGS3 when it lands in store.

Have you applied any updates? My phone has absolutely no wifi issues. Running stock deodexed 1.85.

Some of the wifi issues can be hardware related there is a thread about it in the international one x forum and i think there is one here too.

Mine used to have strong wifi problems. I flashed a couple roms, and currently on clean rom dev 2.3 and NO wifi issues or signal drops ever. Give it a shot. What if your replacement has dead pixels or something? That's purely hardware related and now you've fallen into a loop of exchanges

I'm having wi-fi problems as well. It will say I'm connected and have good signal but the browser or google play won't load anything...I turn airplane mode on and off and then boom...I get some old FB and twitter notifications and the internet starts working again.
I'm having the same exact problem with plain old 4g / LTE data as well. It will say I have service but I really don't...have to airplane on and off then all of a sudden my texts will come in and data works.
My replacement arrives from Amazon today, hopefully this one works. I got the replacement on the 30th day of my warranty with Amazon. Does anyone know if that replacement extends my return policy? For example do I get 30 days from today with the new phone for a replacement or return? (just in case this one has the same problems, i'll want to switch over to something else)

I do not believe that getting a replacement from Amazon extends the 30 day return period past 30 days from the date of purchase

Have you all applied the 1.85 update? I did and it completely fixed the data not working but shows connected issue..
everything just works on this(except true multi-tasking, lol)

Yep, it remains with the original purchase date.

URGH man I love this phone the look, the feel, the screen, the camera its beautiful and its main features are #1, WTF does it have to drop wifi signal and multitask like crap? So my AT&T guy is going to let me exchange it hopefully to try a different model number and hopefully get one without the wifi hardware issue, I can deal with the multitask until a custom rom has that wiped and the camera working like stock. The wifi dropping when im surfing is not bearable. I dont want to go to a SGS3 what an eye sore, glossy plastic, pysical home button, really and they dont want to be like apple? Why dont you stick a fricken light switch on it. What are you doing guys is your wifi making you want to smash it like me? I got 3 days to go in an exchange and then he said if im still not satisfied he will extend my 30 days to try a SGS3 when it lands in store.

Same exact problem I have... I had to enable best wifi performance to get it not to drop my wifi connection while I was browsing. Let us know how it goes and if you don't mind, can you tell us the serial number on the defective phone so we know which model to avoid.

HT24VW, I dont know what to think, i might do it just to have the option to one get brand new One x ( mines a month old) it wont be refurbished he said brand new right from the store I got this one and the option to get the gs3 when it comes out if im still unimpressed. I have not been able to get the 1.85 update im rooted (one click) bootloader locked( dont want to unlock it if im returning) I can download the update but it wont insatall.. have rootkeeper going. One guy said he did it this way but I have had no luck.

I'm surprised they would allow to to exchange a phone with poor wi-fi performance when that is a fix called out in 1.85. Unless it's to get a phone with 1.85 because yours won't take it.

My phone's S/N is HT246W running CleanROM v1.1 Lite. Rooted and Unlocked. Wifi issues only when 'Best WiFi Performance' disabled. I checked it against stock 1.73 and official 1.85, wifi still problematic. (Note: Not 100% sure how wifi was on 1.85, but i'm pretty sure it was still problematic.)

WiFi workingng fine here, it's the faux 4g data drops us what gets me, greatly improved with the 1.88 radio but still happens from time to time.

I got mine yesterday from the new batch that ship with 1.85. WiFi is working properly, no dead pixels, corners of glass all flush. Multitasking is working fine. MLB at bat audio running right now while I am doing a bunch of other things. I think the multitasking issue is not really an issue, just different from what you are used to seeing. For example, some apps will refresh upon returning to them when in the past they would just show the old data and you would have to refresh manually. As a whole the multitasking behaves very much the way it did on my Inspire, just fine.
From what I have seen so far, the new batch seems to be better as far as build quality. None of the issues that have been reported here.
If you enable WiFi best performance your phone will not deep sleep ever. Be warned.

Thread title? Huh?
I'm not trying to hate, but please understand that each of us has a unique way of writing fast, and if we use shorthand, it's nearly impossible to effectively get our message across.
