Just got off the phone with T-Mobile reps and they are exchanging my phone for the LG star which they say is the g2x upgrade! they supposedly fixed the random reboots,loaded new software and fixed the overheat issues as well as screen bleeding.I will be receiving the new phone on Wednesday so ill keep my fingers crossed that the issues are actually fixed and that it has the gingerbread update already on it!

The Star is just the codename for the O2x/G2x. You may be onto something, but I wouldn't count on it.
Star = Optimus 2X = G2X
Edit: dammit gubidi beat me to it
How exactly is that the "upgrade" that phone was in testing before the G2x and is basically the same phone with a few cosmetic differences.
Leave it to T-Mobile to convince us that they are doing us a favor here!
LG star is the g2x
Yea I get that ..but the Rep said they started reshipping them and were no longer being sold as g2x now I don't entirely know if the Rep knew what they were talking about but I just figured I would let you in on what I was told...and if it happens to be true then awesome if not then I'm in no worse position then I already was having a g2x with many issues

They told me LG Star and when I told them it was a G2X they said "Oh yes, that right".
I just called again as my 3rd warranty had screen bleed issues and they sent me to loyalty. The loyalty person said that I could get a Galaxy S 4G which is an "really amazing phone" free of charge as an exchange.......
I explained I wanted a Sensation if anything (equal specs) and she stated "we don't normally do this, but you can pay the difference of the Galaxy S 4G and the Sensation which is $50. I asked to talk with a manager and they were all tied up for 20 minutes so they have to call me back. I am gonna threaten to write corporate till I get a sensation free of charge. Any tips for when they call me back?
How long are your wait times when calling customer care? I'm averaging 45-60 minutes. I just got someone and my phone reset after a 50 minute wait. You think they would call me back. But nope.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
They are just cleaning up their stock of old phones before the new ones come out. Online sold out first, now they are clearing out the stores.
There would have been an official announcement if they were discontinued AND they wouldn't keep selling them. If they were discontinued the would cease ALL sales and return them all to LG. Plus they would have to exchange those who purchased the G2x with another phone.
Not if they had already purchased a large batch from lg. They likely decided that the phone wasn't worth the trouble with the sensation out. So just sell off what they had left.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Right... because then they don't have to deal with the angry g2x customers after right? I'd be furious along many other g2x customers if I heard the g2x got discontinued... pretty sure your wrong on this one.

Most likely correct.....I love it when inventory management suddenly becomes a messenger of deep meanings.
2.3 is close....you can just feel that they are being very very careful to not need to do another quick release. Its just raw android.....so they are doing tons and tons of testing on the thing

Think about it people. The phone hasn't been avail for some time now. The update is way overdue. I am sure they are realizing that they can't fix the pos! Don't get me wrong I loved the phone the small amount of time it worked. I think it was a great idea that failed! Question is what is tmobile going to do for all its customers? They offered a upgrade to the sensation for 50 bucks, I took it and ran. I gave then an ear full when they tried to offer me the mytouch.

I have Gingerbread on my G2X ... its of the CM flavor, but i think I'll prefer that over LG's version anyway.
http://www.tmonews.com/2011/07/t-mobile-no-longer-issuing-warranty-replacements-for-the-g2x/
I've owned every device T-Mobile has to offer and for such a powerhouse not to have any backing was a deal breaker for me. I went back to the Nexus S and now I have the Sensation. I'm staying with HTC until the new Nexus launches.
How do you guys feel about LG & T-Mobile now after petitioning and emailing them? They are basically not looking to improve the device. The G2x may be a epic fail. I enjoyed it while I had it but it clearly lacks support.
I havent seen any issues on my Sensations behalf. I think that unless you have tested it or owned one you can't go by hear say. The issues people addressed as far as the G2x only some have experienced but those who have them might want to make the jump while the G2x still holds some value.

Don't have that issue. I had 5 g2x before I called it quits. Im glad u have a proper working one though.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Oh but listen to what your saying. You have exchanged the G2X 5 times and you still have the same issues? That means it is not going to magically get fixed by doing even more exchanges. The reason they stopped doing exchanges is because they know the phone has problems on ALL the phones and until it gets updated it wont do any good to swap it out for another. Makes sense to me. I understand switching it for a sensation if you cant handle the issues but I completely understand why tmobile is doing this. Makes sense to me. Personally I chose this phone because I knew it would be supported by cyannogen and im pretty happy I went that route rather than the sensation because who knows how long it will take to get updates for that. I have absolutely no issues except a little screen bleed. Obviously the nexus phones are going to get support first and then followed by any phone supported by CM. This phone is already leaps and bounds better than the sensation when you consider the custom rom community.
HOWEVER... I will say that t-mobile AND LG need to speak up and let us know what is going on. Admitting they have issues is ok as long as they are working to fix it but leaving us in the dark is kinda crappy.
Frankly this is still an unconfirmed newsletter. Hopefully well see something about this soon
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Leaving anyone in the dark is not cool. Announce something. Email Twitter fb whatever. Of course the g2x is ahead in Roms the Sensation isn't even a month old. It took 2 months to get a rom for it and it was great. When the Sensation gets s off it will be a monster more than what it is now. I liked the g2x don't get me wrong but somethings I couldn't ignore and for someone who pays full price for phones I don't think it was worth my money. The Sensation feels more of a solid device
And also people have reported that some exchanges for a device have solved most of their issues. Some just chose to deal with it.

I missed the announcement canceling the GB update. Can you provide a link?
If they did not cancel the update, will everyone just calm down and wait for the fix. If the GB update does not fix the issues, I will be right next to you banging on Tmo doors.
I guess we really did need another thread devoted to a "rumor-alert". I call "first" on posting this link tomorrow in a new thread.

I was under the impression the the update would contain more than just GB. It has been rumored to contain better drivers and other fixes as well. Hopefully we will know before September.
You people need to understand something: this phone does NOT need a gB update nor did tmo ever say that this mysterious update was going to be gb. What we are waiting for is a FIRMWARE update from LG, distributed through tmo. This what the Rep who told me they were pulling the g2x, ( which they temp. did a few weeks later) said. He told me the firmware update would be first, then if all goes well they MAYBE will release gb for us. Yeah could be BS, but he's been right so far.

Actually t-mobile and LG both promised updates to Gingerbread claiming it would be right after initial release. T-mobile claimed before summer. LG boasted how they decided to leave it stock android in specifically so they would be able to quickly update the device right after release. Its not been quite a while and I am pretty sure they should have had at least something by now.
Man this whole thing with LG/ tmo giving us totally different versions/BS promises with every Rep is just BS. I hate to say it but IMO the only thing that's gonna make these corporate douchbags give us the truth is through a class action lawsuit. This is just so uncooked of them to play this game. I personally hope my Guy is right ... first firmware update, then gb, or maybe released together in a single update....I'm dreaming I know :/

Eh.. I gave them a 6. Software and Support are horrible, but I felt the hardware is among the best. And combined with xda/rootzwiki, it's pretty nice. Plus, unlocked bootloader is nice (is this manufacturer or carrier?).
Zero seems a little unreasonable. I mean, it's your opinion so have at it, but if a company received a zero from me, the product would be beyond fixing and in the trash can.
I gave a 3. Without good software from the manufacturer, then you cannot fully utilize the hardware.

I really look at LG as a hardware provider. I don't think anybody is happy on stock. After all the flashing and tweaking. (No drugs) I'm really happy. LG should just sell devices with root permissions, cwm, give credit due to devs who made this stuff possible (aka $) and keep them under warranty. Dunno how legal that would be but it would change everything.

Gave them a solid 3... agreed with you guys that said the hardware was great but software support severely lacking.
I'm still on the fence about trying the G4X when it comes out, but as mentioned we have such great dev support here on XDA and from Cyanogenmod that even though out of the box I'm sure the G4X will have awful software just as the G2X did, it will be only a matter of time for the guys here to build some properly-working and amazing ROMS for it as well.
LG really ought to be ashamed of releasing such great hardware with such terrible software preinstalled.
Nice find!!, hopefully we get a good amount of people that will fill this out

I never really expected this to happen after observing all the work from the devs on it. ICS has always ran kinda wishy washy for me. I mean it works and all, but there are definitely some performance issues and bugs no matter which rom you use. Verizon nor HTC intends to release a shoddy product. It either has to work 100% or not at all. If ICS cant run as well as GB did, then it aint gonna happen.
I wish I had a dollar for all the false rumors that have been posted about ICS, I'd buy Verizon and have enough left over to keep me in booze and hookers for the rest of my life!
I think this is one more dollar in my stash....

If that were the case though, the thunderbolt would've ran well from launch day, which anyone who had one since then will say that it didn't. Originally the battery life was horrendous and had to be fixed by an OTA.

So let's see if I understand this... the OFFICIAL WORD from Verizon AND from HTC is that the Thunderbolt will or will not get ICS and will get it within the next two days or later than that or never.
Does that about cover it? <G>
Honestly, I don't see what all the flap is about? ICS doesn't offer anything I need or want other than (I HOPE!) a better kernel for the Devs to work with.
Meanwhile, NuSense works for me and the BAMF leak works for me if I want ICS and, if I want Gingerbread, Infected ROM works for me and Thunderstick BB works for me along with a bunch of other ROMs I've tried.
Was at Verizon today, Reps informed me there will be no ICS for our phones...Cant say I'm surprised...my upgrade is in January, not going to worry about it .. Can't believe they state we would get the upgrade, then renege ..
If Apple can upgrade their older model Iphones for several years , why can' t our Android phones do the same.. and no I'm not switching..
