G2X No Longer on T-Mobiles Website

So if you go to T-Mobile's site and search for the G2x the only products that come up are the home dock and the car dock.
Any ideas as to why this could be?
Edit: was told the phone was on backorder via chat with rep. Sounds fishy. Even if the phone were on backorder they would still sell the phone and advise the purchaser that it was on backorder.

Wow
Wow, either they are admitting there are problems and removing it from sale for now or just an error. Gotta swing by a store and see if they still have it.

I notice they advertise it on their main page, but if you go to shop all phones its not there.... very weird. Hopefully they're not ditching out on the phone

I can't click the "Add to Cart" button. It's grayed out, can anyone confirm this?
Also, this http://www.tmonews.com/2011/05/has-the-g2x-been-pulled-from-store-shelves-due-to-quality-issues/
I hope it's just an inventory thing. I don't wanna find out there's something wrong with this phone, the fact being the G2x I just bought from Amazon is on it's way now.

tmonews has an article about this now
http://www.tmonews.com/2011/05/has-the-g2x-been-pulled-from-store-shelves-due-to-quality-issues/

If it is a QC issue I wonder what T-Mobile will do about it. Complete refunds or exchanges of similar devices - i.e., Sensation.

I doubt they would drop the product all together or that they will issue refunds or excahnges. My theory is that they might stop sales until a update is released.

If they did pull it for QC issues I really hope they do either give me a refund or exchange it for a comparable device (sensation I'm guessing)

Just remember the G1... they pulled it out of the lineup to catch up. Same thing went for the HD2, and a few others. You'll notice the magenta sidekick is in the same boat for upgrades. It's not quality, it's "we way oversold." I confirmed this with a friend that works in a call center.

Omitted !!!!

WoW I'm glad I returned mine, not saying that they wouldn't have taken it back any ways but this is a huge blow. If I were g2x owner I'd take it back today!

I agree with bored PC. Too much sold means no stock to support the user.

Why and what phone would we get to replace the g2x when sensation haven't came out yet
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

Why do people care so much whether your current phone is on the website or not? I understand people interested in buying it but why do you care if you already have a G2X? You have a T-Mobile and Manufacturer warranty and if you are worried, return the phone.
My phone is far from perfect but yet the G2X is still the best phone I've ever owned. I couldn't care less if they stopped selling it. Might actually be cool to have a limited edition phone

Ur obviously not getting the point here. If they pulled the device for Qc issues and they push out new versions or fixed devices then ppl who already have the phone that has issues want to know if they can get a replacements. You have the device and it mysteriously disappears from tmo site, wouldn't I concerned that ur device is faulty
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

just spoke to TMO, they said they have no information about it but I spoke to an account specialist in customer loyalty and asked if it does turn out to be true would they offer refunds or replace the phone, they said yes they would if it ends up to be true. They would either repair it, replace it(Guess when they fix the issues) or give a like device

I have an N1 so when I took back my G2x went back to it. I am patient and await the out of come of this craziness to determine wheter I'm going to just wait for the Hercules to come out. I refuse to get another HTC device until they fix their battery consumption issues.

I got stuck on a trip - my G2X battery started getting EXTREMELY hot and eventually would not charge past 20% - and had to go get another phone. No choice, had to have a phone.
TMobile was "kind" enough to replace my battery, despite the fact that the G2x constantly reboots, and has screen bleed.

T-Mobile/LG releasing G2X information in a Few Days (not another rumor thread)

check tmo news.com right now.....unable to post link!

LG has continued to stick to it’s message of working fast and furious to push out a T-Mobile G2x Gingerbread update that contains various bug fixes. The problem is right now their message is something along the lines of “we know you are frustrated and we’re understanding so we hope to have some information to tell you soon.” What’s soon? Is it two days or two weeks as it’s already been a month that the G2x has been gone from T-Mobile.com. The time to tell us something has come and gone, now we’re moving into impatience.
Tonight’s information shows that LG hopes to deliver some information about the update in the next few days but not necessarily the update itself. As you can see in the Tweet above there is no indication that the “next few days” means an actual software release. So G2x owners are stuck playing the waiting game yet again. While I understand that neither T-Mobile nor LG wants to give a target date and miss it, perhaps it’s better than not saying anything at all.

Maybe a light at the end of the tunnel? I won't hold my breath, but still...

That message does not sound good to me. I believe they are working hard on it but it almost sound as if there having some problems with it. Doesn't look good. Glad I have a bug free G2X because I don't think there fixing anything.

If they weren't having issues with it then I assume it would be out by now...? I think this was just sent out tonight to help ease the minds of those like us in the forums. Not that I feel better or worse but at least it's some form of "Yes, we know" -Just my opinion of course.

Yeah I posted that info over an hour ago on another thread

come on guys and or gals
they said its a strong focus and expeect news in a few days give them a breadk its not like its been 2 months already or something. you should believe them its not like they have been misleading you since prior to launch of the phone.
lg and tmobile are upstanding and wouldnt never lie about stock or anything.
oh hey by the way i have a great deal for the first lucky person to contact me.
i have this bridge i am selling real cheap. its not made by lg or on tmobile its a good deal.

While I love my g2x, I can honestly say that I have never seen such a high end phone get pulled so quickly. LG borked it bog time and now the consumers pay. So T-Mobile exchanges the phone for a lower specification phone and expects us to pay MORE money for the so called "upgrade" to the Sensation. Personally I am pissed how this has been handled!

No one has seen a high end phone get pulled this quickly .....it didn't get pulled....

Really? They stopped selling it. I have never seen that happen so quickly. Hell even the Evo, which should have been pulled was instead quickly upgraded by HTC. You are foolish if you think that T-Mobile just went out of stock.

A lot of the stores are selling them when they have been asked not to. Why? Stores have to meet sales metrics. If you have a new customer signing up and they want the G2x, would you really tell them no?

lol no stores have been "asked not to sell" g2x's.
I dont know where you guys get all this crazy info from.
I have not seen one official email telling myself, or any other store in my region to not sell G2X's. (although we havent been getting our stock replenished for about 3 weeks now. we still have 2-3 in stock, but due to the recent price hike no one is really interested in the phone)

Bro think logically here...if it was recalled and they continue to sell them, and someone with a buggy phone found that out and could prove it, don't you think T-Mobile would end up losing alot more money with all the legit lawsuits then they would eating the cost of the recalled and discontinued g2x? Once again it hasn't been recalled?

Lawl. This means that T-mobile customers will only see it by late October or early November.
Hopefully by then, the SGS2 will be released on T-Mobile. This is ridiculous. They must have hired just one person PART-TIME working on this.

Screen Bleed Swap out days are over

After only a single attempt at a warranty replacement I finally got word from TMO today that they will no longer swap handset's for screen bleeding issues. The rep told me that it is now considered a known issue and will not swap anymore phones because they know that the new one will have the same issues as well. I asked if she knew anymore information about it and she said the only thing that they know is that LG is working on a permanent fix.
I asked if that meant a new handset for those with the screen issue and of course she did not know but also stated that the fix/replace/repair is definitely a hardware problem and LG is expected to make right on it. So for now Ill deal with random reboots, shutdowns, and crappy battery until the update. I'm just curious on how they are going to remedy the situation. Hopefully a release comes out soon at least identifying the issue.
So if you can still trade in then by all means go for it. I have had two reps tell me now that as of the 24th, they no longer exchange due to screen bleed. I didnt push the issue on a new phone cause I like this phone and want to see how it all turns out now that LG has the ball.

Ha... I've swapped out over 5 Mytouch 4Gs and the best way to go about it is through the chat on their website.
It all depends on the Rep. I read on the MT4G forum they quit swapping out phones for the screen issue with that phone... It's a wash. Depends on who you talk to and how their day is going apparently.
If at first you don't succeed... Call another rep... LOL

unless they notate the account and we get a sweet big red pop up saying DONT DO IT when you walk into a brick and mortar.

It's really an easy fix.....they just need to limit the backlight output to about 45% of the current max.
The screen bleed will almost never be visible, at that new max brightness. Of course when outside, and you want to kick up the brightness to max....it just won't perform the same.
The Optimus Black is supposed to be the new NOVA screens....I have not bothered to check to see what the bleed complaints are over there. Switching out the G2x to the NOVA screen as an undocumented upgrade would not be out of the question.

This is totally YMMV with the reps. She had to take some time and look it up in the "knowledge base" and said that she learned something new. It may have just been me but the rude chat representative and now the rep from the phonecall said the same thing. I guess it all depends on how much you push. I was most happy just to know that now it is seen as a legitimate issue by both TMO and LG and am waiting for the resolve.

I just got one swapped out yesterday. They gave me free overnight shipping too. This is like the 5th time, if its not free I guess I'm confident ill get to keep it. You see I learned during my call yesterday that they now charge five bucks for using warranty, that's a change in contract, 30 days to reject the new changes. Even still, I'm on my 5th G2X, completelly unacceptable!

See this is an example of why t-mobile sucks. They've sold phones that THEY KNOW ARE DEFECTIVE...and won't replace them. I understand it'd be stupid to replace them with another G2X - but they should a) give us our money back or b) exchange it for another phone like the sensation or mytouch4G. The fact that they don't is probably grounds for a lawsuit. If anyone is interested I'm thinking of filing one.

Luckily for me, I only had to swap mine once to get a phone without backlight bleed. Even on max, it's hardly noticeable. My first one was horrible, even below 50%. Now, the wait for an update begins.

im getting a replacement but there charging me 20 bucks to do so! i got the shiz end of the deal

Or they could directly seal the screen to the glass like. In the iphone and galaxy s lineup

Not necessarily. If you bring up prices in asking for a replacement (i.e. I paid $180 for my G2x and Sensation is now cheaper) they'll frequently feel pressured into sending you one. My brother swapped his out for a Sensation, claimed the Sensy had overheating problems, and got a replacement MT4G Slide.

When I popped that response into the google narcissism translator, this is what it spit out: i wanted to post something that offers zero value to this thread, xda, or anyone else in this world. As a matter of fact, I wanted to post something that has zero value for a single thing on this entire earth, outside of puffing up my ego. I'm so thankful I have avenues such as the internet to sharpen and feed my narcissism. I'm so full now.. I'm so happy. I feel great. Wow, it's like a drug. I hope someone argues with my stance so I can keep getting fed....

Are you kidding me LG?

ok, I had sent my g2x for repair due to severe backlight bleeding( the top of the screen was actually separating at the top) I send it in. two weeks later I get it back. the issue is still there and what did they repair? The sheet said they replaced the housing due to a scratch. There was not a single scratch on the phone so they repaired something that didnt need to be repaired and ignored what did. I called them up and told them everything. This time they sent me a shipping label to send it back to them. I spoke to a supervisor and they even said that my phone didnt sound like the normal bleeding and they would correct it. I send it back in.. today I get it back, screen bleeding is still there, screen seperation is still there and to make matters worse the screen now has 3 dead pixels that were not there before. What does the repair sheet say? They replaced the SD/Sim reader because it was faulty. ummm no it wasn't.. it was working perfectly before I sent it in.. I really cant believe them.. now I have to send it in for a 3rd time!!!!

Wow! I bought my first and last lg product.

yea bro that is some crazy ****, its like u gotta treat them like little kids and hold there hand thru the process , im sure u couldnt have been much clearer, FIX MY SCREEN , lol idk anyways man good luck dude i hope everything works out for u

If I were you I would consider reporting this to their human resources department. Most of the time the supervisors and employees of the technical department can be incompetent. I would advise you to ask for their human resources department. File a complaint that this has happened multiple times and that way human resources would have to call in those employees who keep screwing up your device's repair. Seriously, because at this point they are just bullshitting if you can send it in twice and they wont fix anything that needs to be fixed.

I keep reading these stories about faulty phones. I haven't had any problems with mine. I've flashed all the Roms on this thing and have never had any issues with reboots or anything like that. Maybe I'm just one of the Lucky ones that got one of their products that actually works.

Dude I will never purchase another LG product ever. My refrigerator is LG and guess what its faulty also, the Ice maker works when it wants to and it also reboots.
You should link up with the dude who filed the Class Action Suit against LG and have your issue added to the case as they are in breach of warranty.
Samsung and HTC FTW!!!
Note: I heard that even their new Cine-LED TVs have a rebooting problem.

Update: I didn't send it in for a 3rd time; Instead I waited for them to respond to my BBB complaint. I got a call from LG yesterday about the complaint and told them about the ordeal. She called me back today and told me they would send me a new phone. All I have to do is sign a waiver and send back the old phone (charger, battery and all) and she will next day air out a new one to me. I'm thinking this will be from their new batch(hoping it's not a refrib but dont think it will be since she wants me to send back everything). I will report back when I get the replacement.
I will be selling it when I get it anyway as I moved to sprint. True unlimited data, $125 port credit per line, True GV integration plus 23% of my monthly bill. I couldnt resist. At least I'll have a brand new g2x to sell when it comes

I just got an exchange that is apparently a refurb (per LG update I have the DMP series). My previous 2 G2x's were new. I was worried that I would get a lemon. My refurb is PERFECT.

you mean dwp?

He probably meant the 2.3.3 OS and new baseband. The hardware is going to be the same.
Remember, cs reps are used to dealing with clueless idiots who legitimately do not know the difference between hardware and software.

I still haven't updated to the new baseband. But if TMO came out with a new model for the G2x because the original "were junk" then they'd have a big issue on their hands.
My G2x is fantastic but I would want a piece of the action.
Sadly (or realistically) the rep doesn't know. They hear "updated G2x" and process "new G2x".
Remember, to most people at Tmobile, it is just a job. Most of them aren't phone enthusiasts like us nerds.

Remember, to most people at Tmobile, it is just a job. Most of them aren't phone enthusiasts like us nerds.

too true...; is it possible that lg has fixed the screen bleeds? ive heard rumors that they switched screen providers or something... w/e, im planning to get a replacement anyway, my phone overheats to 104f after a 2 min phone call...

i received my "New" one yesterday. May 20 build date. Afraid to open it LOL.

T-Mobile reps don't know what they're talking about

duuude that realllllllllly sucks.

I work at LG in the service division. There is no new P999. Basically we just reflashed all of our current stock. It was a huge pain. I'm not sure about switching LCD's, but we did switch front case (including window) manufacturers. I'm not sure if it was because of the bleeding, but to be honest, I still see a little bit of bleeding in mine and I'm pretty sure I have the front case from the new manufacturer.

well i just got mine today from tmobiles customer service. i did notice a little bit of bleeding but not much at all and i dont see what the big deal is. it doesnt look bad at all and i can only see it if its completely dark in the room and i got the brightness up all the way and it has a black image or using the draw app in the market. so far no reboots for me. i think i got the newer device since i got gingerbread pre installed when i got the phone. i just wish it had the green on the 4g icon and cell service part.
just got rid of the sensation 4g for this g2x and i gotta say it was the best move i ever done. g2x is so much faster then the sensation 4g its not even funny.
