the o2x with lg's own software reboots quite often and the g2x is basicly the same phone; so our main question is: how is the software acting? Does it auto reboot, does it black screen or is it worth of the hardware? share here
in case something went wrong please add the following:
- baseband (version as printed in the screen)
- using USB debugging (yes/no)
- rooted (yes/no)
- stock charger (if not specify output v and a)
- total uptime (rounded up in days/hours)

I've had it for a few days and it haven't rebooted once.
baseband: M6600A-SCAUTNZ-2.0.9720T 1 [MAR 27 2011 10:00:00]MP:TRULGE_08.09.02R_MDM
yes debugging is active
not rooted
stock charger
8hrs and 36 mins of moderate to heavy use.
It did get extremely hot while charging it with the Nexus One car dock charger. Had to pull the battery and let it cool off.
This too scared the crap outta me when I read the o2x had this issue but I've had mine for over 24hrs heavy use and I can honestly say wow
No lag
No reboot
No problems
BTW all stock
Waiting for a good g2x rom

I've had mine since the 15th. It'a a complete beast of a phone. My Nexus S went on Craigslist within an hour of playing with the G2x. If there's anything specific you want to know, any benchmarks or comparisons, just ask and I'd be more then happy to share...

What is the G2x like as a phone. Such as call quality, clarity of call, volume in head set and also volume in speaker phone. also GPS. Any and all info or help you can give is most appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
The G2X in the T-Mobile store i work in has had no problems at all. No reboots or lock ups. Pretty much no issues. Plan on getting this phone on the 20th.

original pre ordered G2x problems: decent Bleeding/reboot every few days
2nd G2x: HORRIBLE how can i say this better ..... FUGLY BLEEDING
3rd device on its way: possible bleed maybe reboot issue/wifi problem....?
4th G2x:......... maybe if the third one sucks
5th G2x...... i hope not
but yes im keeping it/them even if i have to exchange it for the next two years
alot of support behind the phone and a great community!
bought it with my employee discount
no returns for us
luckily i still have 1 discount left which i'll use on the sensation or the GS2. then my discounts reset in october.
Definately keeping it. I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I have not experienced any of the reported issues. My screen does have a slight bleed, but not highly noticeable . I already rooted and flashed Eagles_blood rom. Its only a matter of time until more roms and custom kernels are realeased, then we will really see what this phone is capable of.

I bought the phone yesterday knowing that I had 30 days to make my mind up on it. While I've only had the phone for a little over 48 hours, so far all is good. Yes the screen bleeds but its not as bad some peoples. Frankly I dont often watch video on my phone nor do I use dark wallpapers so the only time I ever even think of the bleeding is during boot and when I check this forum (lol). No reboots yet, OS is faster than any phone I've ever used, and contrary to my expectations HSPA+ actually does provide a noticeable boost. What I'm monitoring closest now is battery life. So far it seems to be at least on par with my Vibrant which is something I can live with. Loving stock Android also. If things keep up at this rate I wont be taking it back in 28 days.

Well gingerbread has a black notification bar, so if you have issues with the top corners like i did you might change your mind about the bleeding being ok.

I've checked screenshots with black toolbars and it wont be an issue for me. I keep the tool bar hidden anyway so the only time its even visible is if I have an app open in which case im focused on the content of the app not the notification bar. I'm sure there will be tons of themes with light notification bars anyway.
I have a black notification bar right now and the bleeding isnt noticeable.

today i returned mine, i miss it already but the battery life was unacceptable, been using it for 10 days and it got slightly better, not to forget the backlight bleeding and the various bugs here and there.
Im going to pick up SGS2 once it's available here, although i despise the touchwiz but thank god we LauncherPro
I unfortunately had to exchange my first one for a new one. My original would randomly think the wired headset was connected when it wasnt. This rendered the phone basically useless. Plus no one else in these forums talked about a similar situation. So I exchanged mine for a new one. So far its good. Fingers crossed!
I wish everyone that decides to pass on the G2X for the sgs2 or sensation the best of luck! Coming from Sammy's first real attempt at trying to run with the big dogs, the VIBRANT, I can honestly say that while its a decent device to get started with in android, it leaves much to be desired. At the time of its release the galaxy s line had the best hardware then too. But that didn't mean sqaut in real world performance. Those things laughed at us everytime we opened the app menu!
Look at all the time people like SUPERCURIO put into voodoo, just to make that thing be half the phone it could be. And dont even get me started on updates! Froyo? Froyo? Did you say Froyo? I had froyo before it was even a wet dream in TMO's eyes here. If it wasnt for some great DEV's pulling together on that thing and making it what it should have been in the first place, I, along with half the people that bought a vibrant probably woulda nailed our genitalia to the floor in a burning building.
So you guys get a super duper AMOLED screen phone that you still cant see in the sun! Talk about how AWESOME that screen is inside the house. Go ahead, take it in, love it, embrace it! Your little injection molded plastic-ey POS may sound like the next best thing, but this guy read the book and bought the t shirt! #SAMSUNGNEVERAGAIN!
Just wait, you'll see. And BTW good luck with that htc boot loader, sensation fans. I'll sit back and watch from the sidelines with my #CYANOGENMOD G2X!

Your going to love all the mods you're going to have to do to get rid of the iphone lookin, battery hogging, hope you know how to root, because it will still run in the background and control everything. So yes, they dont like to release kernel code either.
Please dont take my ramblings as the spoken word. Sammy might surprise us and throw us a bone. But remember if you get one update thats all you should expect.
And for the record, HELL YEAH! I still have a sour taste in my mouth from that fricken phone!

So coming from my nexus that I have had pretty much since launch, I decided to get the G2x. And just wow. This thing is a beast. Totally outshines my poor old nexus! Love the camera and video recording. My only real annoyance with the phone is the fact that sometimes my data connection becomes active again while I'm connected to WiFi and slows any downloads or what not that I'm currently doing. All in all this thing is a beast, now I am just waiting to see how the batter holds up.

Same here. I switched from my Nexus One a couple weeks ago. I'm really liking this new phone tho. Its blazing fast. Battery life could be better and I miss my colored trackball but other than that this phone is great. I've noticed a few very vocal naysayers here in this forum but don't let it sway you. The phone is a beast for sure.
A couple suggestions to get started to make ur experience better:
- Root and get rid of the T-Mobile bloatware. I ended up with Eaglesblood Froyo 1.0.4 rom. It is a stock-based rom. Its super stable and everything works, all the T-Mobile crap is taken out (wifi calling still there but I like that) and has a black notification bar. Any of the gingerbread roms seem to have several stability issues as well as GPS issues.
- Install Juice Defender from the Market. It has greatly improved my battery life.
Have fun. Its a great phone.

thanks for the info mate, have had it uninstalled since you mentioned it and no more issues.
Just a little advice from me. Dont read the negatives and take them on as your own.
I've owned the hd2 the vibrant and now this phone. All incredible phones that some how have gained bad reputations but turn out to be really awesome. Running faux asop rom and it rocks. I love it more than my vibrant.
@mcfroger3 dude i had the same problem on froyo i only put a new sim n i had that icon stuck up top for two days! n didnt have any vm's lol but i eventually got a vm and when i deleted that one the icon went away try and get someone to leave u a vm n then delete that see if it works
Any freezing or low signals?
I updated..must restore stock recovery and unroot...wow everything works great...lets talk about positive changes this update has done to our beloved g2x's.
Plugging in a USB cable the mass storage notification now pops up so fast it startles me.
Finally a positive thread.. My phones doing good as well.. No update will be bugless..
Everything I use works great. But there are some tiny things...... but its the best gingerbread build I've ever run on the g2x that's for sure.

On my 3rd G2x and it has been solid cept for a few things, such as GPS taking up to 20 minutes to lock, apps being unable to be moved to SD-card, whenever adding an app or widget to the homescreen would lock up the phone for a bit and would take up to 5 minutes to pull up a list, eating through a battery down to 40% after a full charge within 3 hours of light use.
Granted I fixed almost all those issues by rooting it and applying fixes I discovered through this wonderful forum. From the GPS fix (it locked within about 20sec-3minutes, much better than before) and the pre-opt-dex patch that was put up here which totally helped when adding apps/widgets to the homescreen(3-10 seconds compared to the 5 minutes). To some battery monitoring apps and charging techniques that helped me get the best out of my battery, which saw a full charge last about 9 hours before it squealed to be plugged back in.
Now with Gingerbread finally installed the GPS lock is virtually instant, the apps/widgets are likewise, almost instant. The battery seems to be a bit better. I took it off the charger at 4pm and its still at 25% at this time (12:49am).
As odd as it seems, I look back and am thankful for the buggy G2X. While I really liked my Nexus One, I never really delved into the community much. It was a solid phone and never had any problem, save for the complete lack of space to put apps on it. The buggy G2x lead me to this wonderful forum which was full of people with helpful opinions and great tips. Through the assistance of everyone here I learned a lot more about the Android system and about phones in general. Coming from a big PC background (I like building and fixing them) I liked that the Android OS provided me with similar work around that I did when working on PC's.
So, while the initial experience with the phone was nightmarish, in retrospect I really learned something, it's good to know that there is a group of people dedicated to making sure we get the best out of our phones and freeing us from the shackles of the providers limitations on the phones (rooting rocks!!)
A note to T-Mobile and LG. Why did you rush this phone?!?! I would have gladly waited till July for a fully functional phone. Without Gingerbread this is one of the most powerful phones in the universe, with Gingerbread it can now take advantage of that power. It's not like the competition was putting out anything much better than the MyTouch4g at that time, yes the Atrix, but that was a buggy nightmare too. So what if the Sensation beat this to market, this has stock android, an arguably better (supported at least) GPU, and is rootable. I would have waited. Look right now, for my criteriahttp://blogs.computerworld.com/16755/android_user_interface for a phone my options are currently the G2X, Nexus S and....can't really think of anything else... So seriously, coming from a Nexus One, the obvious choice is the G2X. I would think that a decent chunk of the people reading this would agree.
same here
I was one of the lucky ones to have a G2x without issues
stock phone not rooted, update went thru without problems and the phone feels snappier; I do miss the original LG camera app though
It's good to hear everyone is happy with their phone...now I won't have to read about everyone jumping ship to the sensation.

uhhhh try restarting the phone first and see if that fixes it... otherwise you are going to have to throw CWM on there and restore to stock and try doing the update again OR wait until there is a flashable bootloader posted up which is likely to be soon...

Just wanted to thank everyone who lended a helping hand!

I can't understand why people are jumping ship, the Thunderbolt is a GREAT phone and, with the right ROM is all anyone would ever need!
I'm sticking with it for two reasons:
1. because it's so perfect that nobody could ever wish for a better phone and
2. because UPS didn't deliver my Galaxy SIII today. It should be here tomorrow.

Congratulations!
What do you plan on doing with the old Bolt? IF you are going to make it a paper weight might I ask for it. Mine lost the top half of the screen and the ear speaker is out. Not good when unemployed so looking for a free phone?
Thank you,
Even though I jumped ship to a DNA, my use of the Thunderbolt is not over. It now serves as my music player and as a GPS unit. It is now more convenient since having 1 phone and using it for GPS, it would be a pain when you get a phone call and then you end up lost or whatever. Now I can answer my calls and speak my texts as I'm driving with my DNA while still being able to navigate. So for me, my Thunderbolt is still very much active.

I have a friend here who also was a TB user, he went with the S3 also, and really loves it. So I think its a learning curve, new setup that you will get used to. I am still trying to figure out just how I want my start screen set up, keep changing it. Eventually I will stop. Or die, whichever comes first!

Even though I jumped ship to a DNA, my use of the Thunderbolt is not over. It now serves as my music player and as a GPS unit. It is now more convenient since having 1 phone and using it for GPS, it would be a pain when you get a phone call and then you end up lost or whatever. Now I can answer my calls and speak my texts as I'm driving with my DNA while still being able to navigate. So for me, my Thunderbolt is still very much active.

My thunderbolt stayed in the family as I gave it to my little sis when I got the Galaxy Nexus last month. She loves the fact that I had it rooted and that I had the extended battery.

My problem is the button locations, they're different! I have large hands and when messing around in recovery my ring finger constantly hits the "back" button, the power button is in a very bad place for me, etc. etc.
It takes a lot of getting used to!

Yea, like I said, my biggest issue is actually the camera button, I give it a love tap everytime I grab the phone. Thankfully its not an instant on, otherwise that would be a problem.
Its good to see though, that even with this minor (I believe its a minor) issue, its still a great phone. There is no way you can make the location of the buttons perfect for everyone since were all built with different fingers and hands.
And I didn't keep the TB, sold it back to Verizon for 33 bucks, and with the 8X on sale for 99, its nice to only pay 66 bucks for an over 500 dollor phone!
AND I think I FINALLY have the start screen where I want it. Now just have to figure out how to reduce the size of all my songs. With all the songs on, I maxed out the memory. Surprising, its still wicked fast with only 30mb free! WoopWoop!

What do you plan on doing with the old Bolt? IF you are going to make it a paper weight might I ask for it. Mine lost the top half of the screen and the ear speaker is out. Not good when unemployed so looking for a free phone?
Thank you,

I went to the note 2 first day it came out and haven't looked back. I do miss the simultaneous voice and data over 3g. I work in a 3g/4g fringe area.
Thunderbolt is now a slimed down bamf offline gps / music / trip tracker.

How do you use GPS offline?

There is an option to save your maps for offline use.

Copilot is an app I use, but there are many others. You can pay anywhere from 10$-50$ depending on quality. I find copilot is a good mix of price, performance, quality. It's only been wrong twice in the few years I've used it.
I also use locus maps pro for my backwoods hiking and tracking.
