IP4 to captivate, to inspire, to infuse - Samsung Infuse 4G

Got my infuse today, still in the box, i'll break it out tonight once the kids settle down and watch spongebob lol. I like the inspire, but I flashed it so many time I rendered my gps completely useless. It won't find a single satellite in the sky. Something went wrong with the hardware or something. Even flashed the inspire back to unrooted stock, and re flashed stock radio and gps is still dead.
So I see infuse already has a one click root, and I should be able to restore apps from titanium. I hope I like it, I paid full price. $642 with tax, 3 months after buying inspire. I like big phones with big screens, so we'll see

aside from less development it wont have the shortcomings of the captivate. you will like it if you like the captivate and the inspire. also the samsungs still have unlocked bootloaders and are not nand locked so if you know anything about the captivate and inspire this should be a piece of cake to mod.

Rooted in 3 minutes. Done.

Will I like this Phone?

Due to several issues with ATT support and service my wife and I paid our ETFs to terminate our contract. The other night we were looking at T-Mobile and found a cheaper but better plan then what is offered by ATT and the free G2Xs, we jumped on board.
My question is will we like this phone? I have been doing some reading and it sounds like there might be some hardware or software issues. What is the general consensus on this forum about the phone overall? I'm coming from an HTC Aria which was rooted and running an AOSP build and I love it. My wife is coming from a 3GS, which she loves but is willing to try Android.
My phone is perfectly fine, I've only run into reboots when messing with voltages in setCPU.
Cyanogenmod nightly and fauxs kernel works brilliantly.
If you like a crazy fast phone with amazing graphics rendering and fantastic sound then you will love the phone. With Gingerbread most of the problems have been mitigated. Plus you got in on the free deal so you can't beat the price.
You'll like it.
Bright Screen
Fast response
Stock Android
Ever since I updated 2.3.3 (did it only to get baseband) phone is solid. Had growing pains but I'm happy with it. Might just sell the myTouch 4G spare I have. I see no need to move back to it.
Just make sure its updated with latest 2.3.3 you can flash a custom ROM. Can't speak for 2.3.3 because haven't used a stock ROM in ages.
Hardware wise its best phone, despite the bad PR
Why come to Tmobile if you are trying to leave AT&T, when it is very possible that Tmobile will be AT&T soon?
I just got my free g2x. My reboots are only when the phone gets hot which is on the wall charger. When it's charging on my PC its fine. I love it though and will give it more time.

Phone is awesome. LG/Tmobile firmware is decent with the GB upgrade. If you flash a custom rom to this thing then it is freaking amazing. Its a very powerful phone. The unlocked bootloader gives us so much freedom for customizing. Whether you decide to flash roms or not, use the nvflash tool in the development section to put clockworkmod recovery on your phones. Its much more useful than stock recovery, and if you ever want to flash a rom you're all set to do so. Just remember to revert back to stock recovery (using the same nvflash tool) if you have to ever return the phones to T-Mobile for any reason.

RE: Heat, I found after a full restore it helps out, this was posted before I tried.
I set up a thread for how to start up a new G2x

Boils down to, do a full factory restore, inside privacy settings, when it boots up, go to Marketplace search "T-Mobile My Account", install that first. Then proceed as you will.
I have some old chargers for other phones that are the same sized, the stock one is 1w and the others I have are 700 mw and 800mw all 5 volts +/- .2
They charge slower, and keep the temperature down. I have like 3 of these hanging around.
Seriously after my full rest, the phone was noticeable cooler. This on 2.2 might not be valid on 2.3 but likely is

Contact tmobile and have them setup your account with visual voicemail, it's free.
I love this phone, +1 for what everyone else said. Its got its issues but its still the best phone out there. The screen resolution IMO beats out any Samsung samoled, hands down. The bad news for you though is that it's more than likely going to be a snafu for you if you go with tmo. It looks like att will be buying them as of next year some time. I hear the FCC will approved this. I hope its not true. Gl

My phone works fine now after about 5-6 of them but their giving this phone away for free for a reason and that's because its a piece of crap. Never has a phone with this good a specs gone down in price so quickly and even given away for free for the second or third time. Probably should of got a HTC Sensation or MT4G Slide would of definitely been better of.

My previous phone was a HTC Aria, small and under powered compared to the new phones on the market. That being said I love the Aria; easy to root and very durable. I have looked into newer HTC devices and I have "read" that the sensation has some design issues or flaws with the screen? Digitizer? I don't think you'll find a phone out there without problems. I gave the G2X a try because I didn't want to spend any money on new phones considering I have paid my way out of an ATT contract. If the Phone is crap I can go back to my unlocked Aria.
You will run into many problems like auto shutdown/reboot, screen bleed and hit/miss wifi. This phone doesn't work out of the box. Don't waste your time on this phone. I would wait for next Nexus or a Galaxy S2.

Have you ever considered running errant apps has caused your problems? My G2X has been updated to GB, never reboots, never lockups, the wifi is perfect and screen bleed is a non issue. I never use my phone in a dark room with the brightness turned all the way up with a black background. That is the only way to see the so-called screen bleed. All IPS backlight displays have it, and I have had it on every notebook I have ever owned. It is normal and for normal usage a complete non issue. I am using my phone stock and unrooted.

[Q] hows the Inspire .?

sprint has finally pissed me off to the point im REALLY looking to jump ship . and i get a really good deal on 4 phones and would save about 60 a month over what im paying atm with sprint .
data cap is not a problem since im on wifi mostly
so im asking how easy is the phone to root ? hows the rom's and CM7 ?
thanks for any advice
Love the Inspire(of course people here are biased though) the roms are definitely pretty good, CM7 has been my main one forever, it runs great, gets great battery, and is really just good quality in general. But with all the good stuff i have to say about the phone, I HATE AT&T with a passion after all of my experiences with them since I got this phone. The rooting process is easy, I highly recommend the phone, but AT&T is horrible and I would never recommend them to anyone. EVER.

I love the phone. Its super fast, once rooted. I can't really tell you how easy it is to root as I didn't use the hack kit. Only bubby's and If the phone is new it'll have the gingerbread update and you'll have to use the hack kit. I read its about the same. Plan alot of reading and then half hour to root.
I been with ATT for about 7 years. The dude above most have some wierd personal issues cause in 7 years I have had to talk to ATT maybe 3 times and when I did I got exactly what i wanted. Last time I got a free Iphone 4.... I find them to be a good company. My Only issue is sometimes text messages take 20 minutes to arrive......By the time I or the wife get them I am standing next to her. Lol but even that doesn't happen all the time.

Same here. I've been with ATT going on 7 years and have had no problems. When I've had to call cs I haven't had any issues. As for the Inspire its great. It was my first android and was able to root it my first try with bubbys method. I'm currently on the virtuous unity beta even though the final build is out cause its that smooth.

The other guys are probably right, AT&T isn't as bad as I make them sound, I've just grown to hate them after countless hours on the phone with them. Granted most of my problems have actually been with my TV/internet services, although I did have a few issues with updates when I got the Inspire but I think they have that sorted out now. I'm mostly just bitter about my "4g" being slower than the 3g my sister gets on her Incredible and how horrible Uverse has been for me.
Switch to Inspire you'll love it.
I previously owned the iPhone 3GS, and one day i saw this phone at best buy for free and said screw it ill switch. I switched, and ill NEVER go back to Apple, or any other brand of phones other then HTC. Unless Apple drops their dumb restricts and creates something REALLY REALLY amazing.
you'll love this phone.
I love mine. Got it off eBay for cheap used, has a dark spot behind the LCD but doesn't affect anything. But long story short I love it. Master has a mt4g and have to say if I where to pick the inspire would come in first hands down . You cant really go wrong for the price it's going at att, you have a 8mp camera, duel flash, enough ram on board and about 1gig memory. CM7 is awesome on it, same goes for the Miui roms and if you like sense unlike me you'll enjoy the great selection of sense roms

I too used bubbys, and it was hecka easy. If you ever wonder about htc, check out some videos on their testing process, it will amaze you the things they put their phones through. They test the heck outta them.
And ninjas rom is amazing, right now 22 hours since last charge, and 65% still left on my battery. Freekin love it.

I almost forgot how great custom roms were until I got stuck with stock.

Long story short, I had to call att warranty department to get my phone replaced due to my speaker starting to go out. So when I called it in on the 8th (September), which was the last day for my warranty, I flashed back to stock, restored product code, backed up entire sd, and upgraded to official froyo. So since that time I have been on stock patiently waiting my new phone to come in. I've been on customs so long that I forgot how slow and unresponsive stock is. I remember that as I got spoiled with customs that I felt that those roms were starting to feel slow themselves and that although they're faster then stock, maybe it's more of a placebo that I really think it's that much faster then stock. Alas, I was mistaken. All in all I just want to say thank you to the devs of this great community. Being on these custom roms we sometime take for granted that your work, and although not always perfect, it is still far more superior then anything the stock experience can offer. If you don't feel this way right now, just go stock for almost a week and you'll feel my pain. :¬[
Thanks again xda devs.

I'm in the exact same boat; broke my captivate I got last year, almost bought an iphone (wtf was I thinking), but instead decided to call insurance and get a new captivate; amazing how big a difference the ROMs make, the stock is such sh*t (not to mention how far behind the captivate was on updates ;[ )
Finally got my replacement in. It's a 1010 so ill miss my 1007. Oh well. Time to get rid of this 3e recovery and flash.

God! Don't even MENTION iPhones in this company! I've spent the last several DAYS trying to get sh*t off my dad's iphone (songs and the like) so he can put them on his new Captivate.
The changes you have to go through--and programs you have to download--to be able to do what you can do with an Android just by rooting it and getting a decent file manager leaves me speechless... or at least the many words I've used would be incredibly inappropriate on a site that doesn't specialize in murder and mayhem. I've used curse words over the last three days that I didn't even know I knew.
I'm not close to be anything like a real geek, but I swear, I can't imagine why anyone would want a phone from a company that makes it so hard to adjust and take items you actually purchased off of (can you say "DRM"?). The only good news is, my Dad likes the Cappy enough that we will likely never see an iPhone in this house again.
Thank Heavens.
I completely agree with you, I try my best to remember on a daily basis how great-full I am for the Dev's and XDA.
After making sure I have a way to get back to kb2 and backing up my old phone I just half an hour ago flashed miui. Good bye slow stock . I used to stay away from this rim because I heard of bad battery. But with a galaxy s 4g 1650 mah battery I bought from a friend for 7 dollars, it's not so bad

It is not that you didn't know that you knew them so much as you did what I do somedays. You went thru everyone that you knew and then started to join them together in new combos and when you had done every combo you could think of you started inventing new ones. Most people do that instead of running head first into a wall repeatedly or jumping into traffic. I must say both of those would be better than an iphone

My husband rooted his phone, but otherwise had stock Froyo ever since he got his phone. He used to make fun of me for constantly trying new roms out. But he started getting more and more pissed off with his phone and how laggy and unstable it was, and a few weeks ago I offered to flash him a custom rom.
He uses his phone much much more, and I hear a lot fewer curse words out of his mouth now that he isn't cussing at his phone anymore.

Trading my Samsung Galaxy 4G for a G2x

Hi guys!
I'm trading my SGS4G for a G2x, and have been reading some of the threads on the forums. Some of the issues I can look past, like the updating to ICS or dev support, but the random rebooting, 3G/4G issues are starting to worry me. Are these people just insanely unlucky or does this happen to plague way more G2X's? The phone seems absolutely phenomenal, and personally dev support seems to be perfectly fine. I just don't want to trade for a phone and end up being one of those unlucky people.

Well it seems like the newer batch of G2x's are the good ones and the bad ones were the first batch. Just a theory though. But how are you getting the G2x? Craigslist or via TMO?
It's best to get a G2x that already has the GB build pre installed as you'll already have the latest baseband and a better chance to have the newer batch.
If you do happen to get a good one like I did then it's a no brainer. It's way better than the SGS4G. And you have CM7, seems like the SGS4G will never get CM7.
My phone suffers from random reboots despite having gb from factory.

Yeah, I got mine via CL as well trading my MT4G.
I have minimal bleed but I honestly never notice it unless it's on full brightness and it's on a black screen. Just flash CM7 as soon as you can, that has solved some people's rebooting issue.
What if that doesn't? Would I just be SOL or do I go through the whole replacement hell that some people seem to be going through? Screen bleeding I can deal with if its minimal. SOD and random rebooting would drive me insane.

95% of the general public don't know as much as we do about phones. I traded my MT4G for the G2x from some girl that wanted my MT4G purely because it ran Sense and she didn't like the G2x's stock Android.
So you'd be surprised the good deals you see on CL.
I got my G2x from Amazon for 250$ thinking it was gonna be a O2x but nope got this already GB and since I put CM7 nightlies 180+ I have had no issues!
Love my G2x
This phone has the same potential as all super phones, I just think some people need to use the phone as it is and stop trying to benchmark it comparing it other phones. Its fast and reliable and you wont be dissapointed!

Rule of thumb, the stock software is garbage. Gingerbread update helps a ton, but just know that the software from LG sucks.
My neighbor used the stock Gingerbread for a while without many issues. Just know the custom roms will fix most things.
Stock based rom = random reboots/Black Screen of Death (find it in your pocket unable to power up = battery pull). Best rom (IMO) = Weapon
CM7 based rom= Pretty good anymore. They used to have Cellular Data issues but I think they got it worked out. Haven't had any problems with my recent CM7 Nightly. Best rom (IMO) = CM7 Stable. Nightlies are fun but bugs are hit and miss although to be expected.
MIUI (CM7 based) rom = No WiFi Calling. Everything else worked very well. It is typically a week or two behind CM7 development.
I had no problems with stock GB other than being able to root it, otherwise I would have kept it :/

So basically rooting will fix the issue? And I love my Samsung, I just feel it's time to upgrade, and the g2x is in my budget and it's a awesome phone. Although, my only gripe about the phone would be the cheap feeling.

How much more are you paying for the G2x?
Powered by a G2x
I added 40 dollars to it.
The G2X is brand new basically, no scratches what so ever. Everything works, double checked again and again (pretty sure the guy was getting annoyed with me, oh well.) and it works beautifully. Even charged it for about 4 hours to see if the SOD would happened and it hasn't, nor has it rebooted randomly. TIME TO ROOT IT!

That's exactly how much I added to mine as well to get the G2x.
Just use the NVFlash method to get CWM and you're good to go. You don't even necessarily need root to flash ROM's for the G2x.
i just recently bought a G2X off CL for $200, then turned around and sold my HD2 for $200 on CL. haven't had any major issues with my phone. came with GB pre-installed. haven't decided on if i wanna flash a new rom on it or not. i dont see a need to right now.

How many

Of y'all have rooted yalls wife's (or whatever have you) phone? My wife is using an atrix right now and she loves it. I think if I root it (or attempt to lol) she will love it even more.

Let me know how that goes. I have always wanted to root my wife's Atrix too.
Ill be working on it tomorrow.
She's not really into that kind of stuff but yeah, it'll be more of a test thing for me too lol.

Shame, shame. You guys got the Inspire and got your wifes the Atrix. My wife wouldn't have none of that. She made me get her the Inspire.

Well, my wife and I got the Captivate at the same time about a year ago. She is still hanging on to her captivate, even with the problems she's having with it and still on 2.1. I picked up a lightly used Inspire a few Weeks ago to have something new to play with and she said she was still content with her captivate. She won't let me root it, factory reset it, nothing except making sure it's plugged in every night. So, if your wives let you play with their phones, consider yourself lucky.
Yeah, my wife lets me play with hers.
I would play with hers too
My wife also has a atrix, there must be something with that. I have yet to root hers. Maybe ony next day off.

I rooted my wife's Inspire to get rid of the AT&T and HTC bloat.
It increased the battery life and runs a bit smoother.
It is still on the stock AT&T ROM (she likes sense).
She just uses the phone. She asks me every now and then if I want it to check for updates, etc.
I will say that the Inspire has been very steady, no problems with it at all. She got it to replace a Captivate.
Pretty sure my wife would have a conniption fit if I tried to do anything to her phone! She has seen what I do to our computer with all of the different Linux distro's and I don't think she would want me to do that to her phone!
Rooted her phone, spent a lot of time tweaking it, pissed her off, then she was happy after she seen all the goodies.
Then about a day after she got settled in with it, she came home and whipped out a brand new SII (she ttold me she didn't want to use her upgrade because she loved her atrix too much). I'm sorta jealous, that was her goal lol. Oh and she wont let me touch it.
