tmobile and g2x

I'm at my third tmobile g2x,
I'm experiencing the usual rebooting problem.
beside that tmobile sent me a $150 bill because they said the second phone I sent back experienced problems for liquid problems (and is not true, the sticker in the back was white and had the same problems as all the other g2x),
now they are telling me that they will not exchange the phone because is a known issue and I have to call LG.
So basically they tell their customer that they sold thousands of defective phones and it's not their problem
Thank You Tmobile

It's the blame game...

When I got my second G2x before I rooted it, I was still having reboot and freeze issues. I went to T-Mobile and *****ed them out and told them that I wanted a new battery because when I charge it or plug it in to the computer, the battery gets very hot and the phone freezes. Once I got a new battery, absolutely no reboots or any flaws whatsoever. Give it a try. Hope this helps. Plus running CM7 has greatly increased battery and performance.

same sim card getting LTE on one phone, only 1X/Spotty 3g on other

i posted this on another website's forum yesterday...sorry for those who read it twice, but i got no responses and am desperate.
so my launch day phone had a bit of an accident last weekend the screen cracked. I was able to get another thunderbolt from someone, was originally a refurb (tag under battery says "remanufactured in Philippines" )
any who I've been using the refurb one for about a week now, no major issues. But now today I can't get LTE at all...I've tried reflashing different radios, going back to sense over CM7...nothing. Put the same sim card in another phone right next to it, LTE.
What else can I do? thanks in advance

Have you installed an app recently that is messing up the phone? Have you checked to see if LTE is active on the phone? *#*#4636#*#* and check your phone info. Could always try flashing another radio.

Why does everyone start flashing radios and performing hard resets on their phones when a signal problem shows up? Wouldn't it be wise to contact Verizon first and make sure it isn't their problem? If you haven't changed anything on your phone, there's a 99% chance that verizon is having an off day.

nothing comes to mind that i would of installed that triggered this.
tried different radios.
called verizon to see what they can do. Looks like I can get a replacement phone shipped out. Now to return to stock. thanks.

I'm surprised the VZW rep didn't tell you that it's because the 4G sim cards are paired with your phone. I tried to swap 2 4G phones on my account in the past and I was told that the 4G cards are associated to the phones and they would need to send me out new 4G sim cards. This was a while ago, so I'm not sure if it's still valid, but I would think that they'd have a way to re-link the sim cards on their end.
Good luck with this.

"No sim" issue on Skyrocket

I've been using NexusMod on my Skyrocket for a few weeks now, and all of a sudden while walking around in the mall today, my phone said "no sim" while it was low on battery.
I couldnt' do anything about it, but by the time I've gotten home, I've looked up everything about a "No sim" issue, and tried the following:
reflash to Buoyancy 1.3.1 (GB) via restore
flash to different radios, then back to UCLA, then to Rogers, then to Telus, back to Rogers, and every other combination
restore to stock via Odin
after restoring to stock, reflash the original K7 radio (when it didn't work)
more various flashing of roms and modems
Ultimately, nothing has worked. I've tried putting a piece of paper to force better contacts, and obviously switching sim cards which didn't help.
I've noticed some other people had this issue, but it looks like flashing the T-mobile modem worked, but didn't work for me. Any other tips or experiences?
Thanks in advance!

You try giving the carrier a call to reset the signal?

Called up Rogers, they asked me if the SIM worked in another phone (which it does because I'm using my SIM in my old HTC to call) and they said it's not an issue on their end. Not to mention they weren't too eager to help fixing a phone I didn't buy from them.
Anyways, it's been brought back to stock now, using the sammobile (also tried the XDA tar) and neither fix the issue so it's probably a hardware problem unless someone can suggest otherwise.
I've tried the Blaze, Tmobile, Telus, Rogers, and various AT&T (UCLAx, UCLDx) modems to no avail against a combination of ROMs.
Oddly though, occasionally on certain radios, I noticed it would show a reception bar, but also say no sim at the same time. It doesn't happen in stock GB, as it only says no sim and then a "x" on the reception bars.
I'm sure it's a one-off issue, but can't say I'm impressed with Sammy right now given I've had the phone for only 4 months and it's never been abused.

It does sound like a hardware issue but for future reference for when you call rogers:
Don't tell them you didn't buy the phone from them.
When you ask them for help, say x isn't working so can you do y. They will say have you tried this, this and that, say yes and get what you want.
This is the only way I have survived rogers since inception (long time customer helps too I guess).

This may sound crazy to you but from many years of experience with electronics and in IT I would say that since it sounds like a component failure or loose contact I would say try gently tapping it with the battery out and reboot. If under warranty tap a bit harder
Just my opinion please no comments if you disagree...

Turns out the sim card tray was loose. Samsung wouldn't fix it saying this is not a warranty item and wanted to charge $120 to fix it or $35 just to return it to me.
Luckily, after complaining, rogers graciously footed the bill since the phone is less than a year old, though the Hup period got extended 6 months (but not my contract)
Kudos to rogers but shame on Samsung for not taking care of its customers. Aside from day to day use, the phone was never abused nor was there any external physical damage. Not sure how they reached that conclusion. Sure it might have slipped out a pocket or what not over the few months I used it, but it should be able to withstand abuse from daily use. my old HTC Evo 3d withstood a hell of a lot more damage than that, I dropped it down a flight of concrete stairs that dented the entire side of the phone. it worked perfectly fine until I lost it. I am sure I will get a lot of heat from the Samsung fans here but I can't help but vent my frustrations.
To think I supported Samsung by buying a GS2 for my wife and I...

[Q] Sound Quality Issues

seems like every time i am making a call there is a issue either the other person just can not hear me or when i am calling someone they are getting the call and answering but it still says dialing on my phone
Is there a way i can fix this issue ?

My mom has this phone and has the same issue. Every couple of calls made or received, the person on the other end can be heard fine, but they can't hear her. Shes contacted T-mobile, who said they have recognized this as a known issue, but made no other attempt to help, blaming it all on LG. Currently waiting on a fix from LG, T-mobile said it could take months.

Question An A52 4G Dilemma

So this past summer I purchased a 4G version of the A52 from Amazon, my main reason being it was cheaper than the 5G. Now I'm finding that this choice may be affecting my carrier situation. I am in the United States, and had Cricket Wireless at the time of purchasing the phone. It worked for about 4 hours, then the service quit on me. Apparently Cricket claimed that my phone did not have the proper technology, blah blah blah, something to do with the discontinuation of 3G and or VOLTE. This obviously does not make sense, since this phone is from 2021 and would not be made with old tech. Anyway, I got them to turn my sevice back on, after it being in a "suspended" state. It was still working for a while, and then some time in september I think Cricket sent a text to me (and my fiance as well, also has a phone cricket doesn't like) saying that they would start redirecting our calls to customer service to get us to "upgrade" since the phones would supposedly stop working completely in February or whenever 3G is supposed to go kaput. So, we switched to Mint, who claimed that our phones would both work on their network, and they did, except that the service sucks, even while being in a modest sized city. It also has little to no service at my work, and I'm convinced that T-mobile's service, at least through Mint, absolutely sucks.
So, my question is, what do you all suggest? Does anyone have this model, and what carrier are you with? What kind of luck (or lack thereof) has anyone been having?
Sorry if this has no place here, just doing all I can to get some answers

Well, I don't think I have a clear answer to your question, this is something that I found very very weird. I handed over a Galaxy S9+ to my fiancee who's carrier name I forget, I think it also got acquired by T-Mobile, but I'm not 100% certain. However, the phone didn't work properly. I can't remember what problems exactly it had but they were network related. Turns out that if you're going to change phones you need to go to a store for them to configure it and change it in their system. Otherwise it will either not work or not work properly.
And this was also the case with her sister who bought an unlocked, Mexican phone and she also had to take it to the store for them to configure it. It would have these problems unless she took it to them.
You would assume that all you need is to insert the SIM and it would work out the box but I don't know why this carrier had this method which just makes everything so annoying and complicated when it doesn't need to be. Oh and this isn't a one time thing, every time they changed phones they would need to do this! So you should probably look at going this route, it's my best guess.
EDIT: Oh and also before we knew this, we had also purchased a Galaxy Note 3 (which yeah it's old, but had 4G when I used it with my carrier and all of a sudden it turned to 3G when used on her carrier) so we ended up giving it away. So it was definitely a carrier problem. It was so annoying.
