I had to call tmo today to order a 3rd set of g2x.
Reboots and freezing have gotten out of hand.
I had a Rep tell me they have not gotten calls about the issues recently and thought they were just about ironed out.
I got a real bad retention agent who basically said go elsewhere.
Really. But even she was better than Verizon.
I called back about my bill and got a great agent who read the notes from retention I think as she knew we both were having issues.
The transfer went from customer support to loyalty.
Loyalty sent 2 new phones out today. Same day.
This will be our 3rd set of g2x.
Tmo claims call ins are down. Complaints too.
I hope these phones work or we will have to look at sensations.
We love the phones. Not the problems.
And don't want sensations.
Why the heck is tmo not getting the galaxy s2?

Did you try factory data reset ?
That seems to work on some of the phones that are having reboot problems.
I'm on my 3rd G2X and the only problem I've had with all 3 is poor data reception
at my work location. (while the MyTouch 4g does just fine there)
I returned my phone to TMo for a refund over a week ago but Craigslist
got to me in when I saw a G2X for $260 so I'm back.
Too bad this phone is only capable of 14mbps.
I'm definitely down for getting a Sensation though.
I'll just get one off Craigslist.
Anyone see anywhere what speed the Sensation can do ?
TMo will doubtless get the Galaxy S II, dont worry.
The Sammysung Hawk is going to be 21 mbps buts it not dual core.

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and was aware that the backlight bleeding is not a known issue. Although they always seem to take care of me. Shout out to John.

Yeah I did the volume down and power. Also from settings.
I love the phone. I just think its a shame it has such issues.
The sensation looks good but imagine how long updates may take with all that extra stuff in sense
I am a fan of touchwiz. I don't know why. But after my vibrant I'm sketchy on relying on Samsung for updates.
And I hate kies.
But the gs2 looks so damn good I'm not sure you would care about the update

I've read in 2reviews the g2x outperforms the galaxy s2 in games and playing flash.
So I would like to keep it if I can get one that works right
And with a better gpu shouldn't the g2x run smoother over all?

My phone has some hellacious troubles with lost signal. I did the GB leak update, but that didn't take care of it. I drove from my house in Chicago to one of the burbs to check out a Sammy Charge from Verizon and the phone lost signal at least a half dozen times. On the way back, the Charge didn't lose signal once. Don't know if it's faulty software when it transitions from "4G" to lower speeds, bad radio driver or bad antenna design. This is basically a good phone, but dropping calls when I'm driving is simply not acceptable when my N1 and now the Charge don't have the problem, driving the exact same routes.

This is simply false. The Orion is 1.2 Ghz which is why the OS feels snappier. Android doesn't use the GPU for accelerated graphics except in a few apps. Honeycomb is the first OS that really pushes GPU acceleration.
Go on Youtube and compare 3D games between both phones and see which one lags out and stumbles to keep up. Hint (it isn't the G2x)

Why do people keep swapping phones?!?!? Seriously? There hasn't been any new OS updates from T-Mobile/LG so you're not going to get a different software experience. I am waiting for an update - if the update doesn't fix it then I can say it's a faulty hardware. Also the leaked GB is useless as it uses the same baseband and kernel as our current system. If you flash Cyanogenmod and still get reboots then you might have a faulty phone as that's a completely separate kernel.

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

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.

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

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.

It is weird to be seeing such an old radio on NIB Inspires. As Scott_S said, that radio came out with the Desire HD back in October. I thought that Inspires were only shipping with 06.04.06 or 06.06.30...I wonder why people are starting to see that old 03.02.26 radio on new Inspires?

To be completely honest, I do not recall what it was before rooting, but I'm sure it was the same.

Well their is no definitive answers on radios as it varies on so many things. What's good for one person may not be for another. Personally I have. Gotten better speeds with the Ota's radio maybe becauase its made for our phones but thats just speculation on my part. I've haven't seen many people stay on your radio soon after rooting. I have seen a few people complain about it, then when they moved up to stock radio or Ota's, their varies issues were gone

Your sentence is a contradiction; if you don't recall what it was before rooting, how can you be sure it is the same now? Just messing with you but you are contradicting yourself a little bit there.
The rooting process MUST change the radio. All the current root exploits use a flaw in that radio to do their dirty work. That's the reason for the downgrade (and to a lesser extent, the kernel just because the exploits were compiled for its modules).

All right, let's expand on your answer... New in box from an ATT or other retail store selling new inspires, where your friend watched the CSR open the seal on the box, and put the SIM in?
Something doesn't seem right.
Nevertheless, it's not a "new" radio, so experimenting with it would be the same as any other radio "compatible" with this phone... YMMV.
There are *newer* radios out, so....

That's fine, and just for the record I'm not being skeptical just for the fun of it, I'm just trying to figure out the circumstances.
Now, you may have rooted the phone for him, and you may have noted the baseband/firmware versions before doing so, but that doesn't really answer the most important part of the question....
Exactly how your friend came into possession of this phone.
Until you say with certitude that "yes, it was purchased brand new from a retail store and my friend was the first person to ever touch the phone and he never attempted any modifications to the phone himself," then I still have a hard time determining the rationale of putting a Oct 2010 radio on a brand new from the factory inspire.
I bought mine March 3rd. Brand new, ATT retail store. Watched dude crack the factory seal, and take 400 off-contract dollars from me.
My radio was the stock radio commonly referred to as the "shipping stock" radio.
Why would an older radio than the one on my (at the time) brand new phone be put on one more recently manufactured?
It just doesn't make sense.
Anyway, as long as you're getting a level of performance that's acceptable, then I guess that's all that counts.
F u Henry!
I forgot to tell you guys, that when I got my phone, I jade a HTC wifi update then rooted my phone.

I thought the exact same thing at first. We don't even have LTE here and I've heard horror stories of not being able to turn off the LTE antenna with various skinned versions of android. The reason I didn't want the quad core variant is because I really just want the superior processor.

It wasn't busy at all. The funny part was that the first customer service agent I asked about the One X didn't even know what a One X was or if they had any in stock. She then goes on to the back room and was absolutely fascinated by the phone. She was actually playing with the phone more than I was. They're getting a much bigger shipment when the phone actually has its coming out launch. Today was pretty much a cold launch.
Absolutely beautiful phone though. I had to goto work, so I didn't get a chance to play with it. I play with it when I get home.

having one crappy phone from a manufacturer doesn't really affect the quality of other phones at all. the galaxy s II is one of the best phones of the past year. the galaxy nexus is also by samsung, and is also one of the best phones around at the moment. what you should look at is the phone's category, gsII and gnexus are both high end phones, while the sidekick 4g is an entry-level device.
true. galaxy s2 and galaxy nexus were the best. probably still the best right now. but g2x is a good phone. you will have fun with it. once u get it, if it asks for a ota update, dont do it yet. there are no roms for it as of now.
Yeah you guys are right. Whats a ota update?

its the update that LG sends out. when you get the phone, you should check your BaseBand. if its March 2012, then stay on the rom ur on. u can flash other roms, but the calling will be f'ed up
The t-mobiel rom is very stable and very good, there is no need to use modded rom, none of the modes hold a candle to this update because of the firmware, driver and baseband upgrades in this rom. I am sure mods off this stock rom will come out soon and CNG will release their updates in the next couple of months however the stock rom is the best fully functional rom thats out right now only because LG fixed fundamental firmware and driver issues this round.

true. im running to stock rooted ota. and its perfect
Phone is great so far. So should I root the phone or not? I have 2.3.3 right now. Give me some cool ideas you guys think I should try out. Also when I go to Software Update it gives me this error. "Connection failed caused by authentication error."

Have you rooted yours? Is it pretty easy to root?
I got the phone yesterday, I rooted right away when I got home.

Its easy. Just look up the tutorials in xda. Its just install drivers. A fail apx, update apx to the correct drivers. Flash clockwork. Then Roms. Loom it up
