I really can't take the quality control issues any more. I think I am going to try and get a Sensation. I really love the phone, I just can't take the battery over heats, and the screen bleed, and the horrible battery life. I know there will be an impending Gingerbread update that will hopefully fix 2/3 main gripes I have with the phone, but it has still left a bad taste in my mouth. I know that HTC never has this bad of a problem with their phones. I think I am going to try and get a replacement for the Sensation through T-Mobile. If I can't I will deal with warranty replacements until I get a good G2x.
Anyone else starting to feel this conclusion?
I am getting a warranty replacement, and that will be the determining factor for my decision.
Good luck!

Thanks, I know this post won't do well here, but I am really fed up. I have never had a phone with this many out of the box problems. Plus replacements with the same problems! I really want to give this phone a 2nd chance, but its an up hill battle. The power behind this phone is smudged by the short battery life and the overheating issue when charging. I am hoping the replacement I get isn't the same thing as the one I have currently.
What apps do you have on your phone?

Tons, but I have had mostly the same apps since I have had the G2, and I am sure they have nothing to do with this.
Do you have the o2x notification app? I deleted that and reboots stopped... Sounds weird but it is true...

Well, I depend on that app to. . uh notify me haha. I really don't want to have anxiety and check my phone every five min. Sometimes I cant feel the vibrate so I won't respond for hours if I don't know I have a text LOL, and that's a no no to my GF.

Same here. That app chewed through the battery like nothing else, even with the LED brightness turned down. Caused all kinds of reboots and whatnot. Deleted it and all issues with my phone disappeared instamagically.
So keep your GF happy, and deal with the reboots... Oooooooor fix your phone, keep it and stop obsessing over text messages... Oooooooor try the new notification app that is in the themes and apps section, keep the phone, make your GF happy and save the world...

Ok luv ya buh bye!
I keed I keed. +1 with the notification app, deleting that made my life better. Screen bleed is something I understand too, but that's why I like the notification bar mod sonnysekhon posted in his CM7 themes. Makes the bleed look normal at least until I play a movie or something. Other than that I'm happy. Good luck if you go for the sensation.
Yes but I really depend on it! D: lol. I wish they had an LED notification light on the G2x.
For me its not just screen bleed, its the overheating issue as well, and the poor battery life(yes even with out the app).
Flash faux's 1.2.2 and his 1.9 kernal. It's been rock solid for me. My battery's been off the charger for 10hrs now and its at 57%.

It doesn't matter that you have had your apps since the G2. Apps will act differently from device to device. For instance. I have always had the NFL Mobile app and when I put it on my G2X, it was causing it to overheat and was killing the battery big time. It would drop 10% ever 15 minutes while at idle. The very second I deleted the app, everything went back to normal.

Won't hear any flack from me. I am getting the Sensation as well but I don't know if I am going to give it to my wife or give her the G2X. Either way, which ever one I decide on is hitting the bricks once the Hercules gets here. I already purchased the Sensation and returned it the same day due to over heating, freezing and reboots. Seems like every phone now adays ships with bugs and it's like playing a lottery in order to get a bug free one. Looking over in the Sensation forum isn't to promising considering all of it's own problems.
O well. I'll wait until the Sensation gets released from T-Mobile so I can return it as many times I need to like I did with my G2X. I had to return 3 in order to get a perfect device with absolutely no bugs. I don't settle for bugs on my phone and I wouldn't expect anyone else too.

But I don't have any app like that I am sure, I checked battery history nothing is really out of the ordinary. The only one that I would think is the LED notifier since it has the most use.
I'm with you, I find myself saying "I hate this blasted phone" everyday now. Would be a great phone if it was reliable, but it's not.

Apps certainly do have a lot to do with the rebooting issues that some people are having. My phone has only rebooted maybe once and it was because of an app. Removed the app and no more rebooting. Replacing the phone will do nothing if you continue to use it the same way and don't do any actual troubleshooting yourself.

Hercules is only a code name for the phone. But it does have a nice ring to it.

Not sure which LED notification app you're using but the one I'm using hasn't caused me any reboots or battery drain (could just be my device but I'm not sure). It's called LG 2x/Black Notifications, made to be used both for the G2x and O2x

so this wonderful phone we all have is a little... Buggy... I was one of those lucky people who wasn't having any issues with their phones now all of a sudden it gets a little laggy and the screen well shut off and not come back on (sometimes if I hit the power button repeatedly it will come back)... It kinda upsets me because I thought I had a good one... It was running fine after root, and after NVflash... It was after I started different kernels and roms that I had issues... Now I am running rooted stock with no other add ons and I am still having issues...
Question time.
Sounds like I am having the same issues as a lot of other people. True?
Should I get a replacement (sounds like a lot of the replacements are duds too) or just wait to see what the update brings?
I love this phone... I don't need perfect, just stable...

Check my thread here, will give you an idea of how widespread the problems are: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107660
Same exact thing happened to me. One minute it was a perfect little baby, and next thing you know the booger starts acting up.
I was happy in the beginning when it gave me an awesome experience and was wondering why people are complaining about such an awesome device, then it struck me out of nowhere and began rebooting like crazy.
I want to ride this beast to the bitter end... I am hoping that the end is MUCH further down the road... so as far as we know, the "update" will be fixing most o these issues... i guess I am going to hold off on the replacement... seems like those have the same issues too...

Ill leave my WiFi off all day tomorrow, then post a screenshot of my battery statistics (not the ones provided by Android) but more accurate ones from a app called "Battery Monitor" that gives a break down of use and what you had enabled. I don't want you to think I'm a liar or anything. I guess you could call me lucky but I have had nothing but good experiences so far. I haven't had any reboots, no lag, no freezing and great battery life. Probably better battery life than any other Android device Iv'e ever used. I take my phone off the charger at 7AM and don't return it until 9PM. Throughout the day I am making phone calls, sending texts, surfing the web, reading news from 4 different apps and playing some games. I don't know why anyone would lie about there battery life but maybe some people who say they only get 5 hours of battery life are just plain lying? See what I did there?
But does anyone else have a battery that is heating up for no reason? Should I look into a new battery or possibly a new phone?

Nah, the only time my battery heats up is when I am charging the phone and at the same time playing a graphically intensive game. Even then it doesn't heat up to the point of being uncomfortable.

It also depends on how much your 4G signal fluctuates so it depends on your area. If your constantly going from edge to 4G then that is using up more battery than me if I am always getting a good 4G signal. The more work your radio has to do the more battery it will use. The phone is going to eat up percentages when the display is off but if it's eating up "Display" percentage then I would say you have a problem. If your device is in standby most ofthe day then "Cell Standby" will be at the top on the percentage list. It's doing what it's supposed to do. If there was something wrong, then display would be at the top of the list. Next time you take your phone off of the charger, play a game for 20 minutes right away then make a 10 minute phone call. At this point you should see "Display" and "Voice Calls" at the top and "Cell Standby" the bottom. If not then something is wrong. I know there are many people with bad battery's and ones who have had problems with multiple units. I am just not one of them.

There certainly has been a lot of negativity thrown at the G2X as of late. One wonders if it's just the very vocal minority who are doing most of the complaining or are the majority of people really dissatisfied with this device. So lets get quantitative with this and find out which it really is. Let's try and keep the moaning and groaning down and let the numbers speak for themselves.
The choices are simple, either you are or are not having issues with the device. I threw in a trick question for the spam bots
I voted that I have issues, but I won't be returning it. Love the device, it just needs to go from 'walk' to 'run', and I am of the belief that these issues are all software related.
I haven't had a problem before. The only thing is that my phone reboots if I undervolt too much, but that's my fault. I have since fixed that problem and the phone is flawless, except for some screen bleed.
I came from the HD2. It was a great phone but I love my new G2X.
The only problem I'm having is some light bleeding from the corners on the top. It's noticeably faster and much more capable for gaming.

No issues whatsoever unless you consider NOT being able to select something until the scrolling stops. Screen bleed...really? Never even seen a pic of that mythical issue. My phone doesn't even get warm let alone hot. As for battery....at first perhaps...but once i reconditioned the batt, I get a full day (15-17 hours) of use from a full charge.
I have had the HD2 (sucked) and the Vibrant (rocked) and this phone smokes both...hell my boss' iphone 4 can't touch this.
Perhaps I have really good luck with phones aside from that lame duck HD2.

When you like say go to settings and slowly scroll say down, then stop for a second and slowly go the opposite way, you can move your finger poetry far before the screen jumps to your finger..... Not like that on my vibrant or sensation... Especially in gaming that was annoying especially shooting games requiring fine aiming readjustments....

Was that on the stock rom? I remember the same thing on my phone when it was stock. This was fixed in other roms though. I've been using Ultimate and CM7 primarily and they scroll super fast and no problems on the lock screen either.

Its not an issue with the touchscreen itself. Its the rom you're using and the way it handles the physics of scrolling. I'm using CM7 now, and Ultimate G2X before this, and they both scroll a lot faster.

Please stop trolling the g2x forums. It is ridiculous that you sell a phone and then keep posting threads about your problems with it.

Whatever RaycerX09 issues are I don't know, with 4 posts he way off base.
There is a video on Youtube of a G2x with an early release of 2.3 which he give a review of.
He notes the problem of slow recognition on the unlock swipe. I have this problem in the all apps section about 20% of the time, slow to pick up and or not picking up.....have to multi swipe.
This sounds close enough to the problem in the OP. Long story short is the reviewer says the problem was greatly if not totally fixed in 2.3....he specifically addressed the unlock recognition, which should be the worse case.
This problem was fixed once I loaded ADW or Launcher Pro.
Some launchers change those things but stock did have a weird scroll. Its like it tried to scroll a page.
CM7 fixed that in one of the earlier builds. On the latest nightly it is smooth as silk.

Yeah mine does the exact same thing. It shows itself mostly in the browser, sometimes it can be quite the pain in the ass just scroll slowly because it constantly wants to take these big jumps.
Mine does it on stock using LauncherPro. The "rom" that affects this is the stock ROM, so it is LG's fault then Not even rooted
Those calling me a troll need to behave yourselves. Don't cry I was wondering if anyone has the issue cause mine did and so does my friend that I'm rooting...
Helping a buddy out and mentioned it , I remember mine had the issue... Don't get your panties in a wad .. tall ruining my high..lol
I've had my G2x since day one that it was released... never experienced anything like that with the touch screen - other than having to swipe more than once in a blue moon to unlock it...

I think that if you have good reading comprehension and are capable of following instructions to the letter, then go ahead and update to get the new baseband...that way you can join the rest of us that facepalm while reading the posts from the others that simply can't or won't follow instructions.
Otherwise, have a seat over there and join the incessant mob ranting about the evil LG software bricking their phones.

The advice/opinions that you're looking for smacks you right in face as soon as you enter this forum. The update is a fresh topic and you don't have to search all that hard for the answer. Just take the time and read. The advice given to you are the same stuff mentioned all over this forum.
Geah!
Pros:
GPS locking - I was surprised running around town how responsive it was.
Battery life. I screwed up on calibrating my battery and pulled the batt at 64% instead of waiting till it died. At that point it was at 17 hours up time and I play with my phone a lot, I play Order and Chaos and that is battery killer and even with 2-4 hours of play it held strong. Currently I'm re-calibrating the battery once more and it's at 19 hours+ and 60%.I keep half expecting a sudden drop to 0 or a random power off but it seems to be going strong.
Speed up - What can I say? it seems more responsive.. may be placebo.
No FC's since I updated a few days ago., usually I'd have one a day at least. App loadout is the same
CONS:
Camera app sucks - We need that Lg camera app.
Data connectivity - seems to be about the same, random, unexplained drops in data.
Bricking - Seems the update under windows Vista/ Win 7 64 bit CAN have issues. I flashed mine from my workstation at work which is STILL running XP and it was fine.
That's about the short of it from my POV, others have reported issues with reboots still, bricking, and it slapping their children when they aren't looking, but I think those people may be ReRe's anyway.
It is very hard to differentiate real issues and user caused from bad flash or maybe rough titanium restore

Updating with windows 7 64 bit and having issues is myth.
I was rooted on stock rom and updated when windows 7 64 bit.
All this nonsense of windows 7 being incompatible is a false rumor.
Infact, of anything windows 7 should be better since it's more modern software for a modern cell phone that was just issued a modern update.
Sometimes, I doubt the credibility of this forum and the advice that's posted, just because.
Of course it is worth.

I updated with Win 7 64 bit with stock phone, no root, and it took all of 8 minutes total from start to finish, and only thing erased so far is the amazon app store signin.
If you are already running the older leaked GB or a custom GB ROM and are stable then the answer is no. If you are running Froyo or a custom Froyo ROM and are stable then the answer is no. Since I went from the older leaked GB (v20c or whatever it was) to this one I experience the sleep of death EVERY time I charge overnight. I experience the SoD intermittently during daily usage with absolutely NO correlation to anything I do. Good news is no spontaneous reboots. Although if the SoD issue continues I will just wipe and go with EB or CM7 and Faux's kernel. All I can say is LG/T-Mo dropped the ball on this one.

I was on youtube listening to in dying arms and I kept getting email notifications in my status bar but when I opened my email no new emails were found. It sketched me out! I all paranoid with security and what not. Well I went to shut down my phone then reboot into recovery but it went into bootloop instead.
My phone would only go into bootloop as long as power was connected. Otherwise it was like it was completely dead(had full battery tho). I re-flashed cwmr and booted into it and restored.
I'm just going to wipe everything's and start fresh. That bugged me out!
Happen to anyone before? Anyone know a possible cause?
CM7 Trinity kernel regular voltage

It happened to me once. Overheating was the culprit. I can't remember the app right now, but something I had installed was causing crazy issues. I removed it and have never had another problem.
Are you still on CM7?

Yeah I'm back to CM7. I was using CM9 but not being able use the cam corder or watch videos that were recorded on a cam corder was enough for me to go back to CM7!! CM7 randomly shuts off tho. It is a pain in my freaking butt!!!!!!!!
I might try eagles blood and see if this stops happening. Cuz I'm not beat for searching/combing through apps to see if one of them are the cause.
UPDATE: It may be a hardware issue. I was on the phone and put the person on speaker and placed the phone down and it reset. It was very lightly too. Come to think of it, anytime my phone reset it was in my pocket or somewhere I couldn't see the actual phone. So the back of the phone could have hit my thigh too hard and it could have shut down.

I'm using the New Clip mod of the Weapon Rom and have no issues right now. A lot of long time posters are still using it. Very stable. My other thought is swapping the battery at a Tmobile store. My wife's phone used to get hot and reboot when she used edmondo and the GPS. New battery fixed it. I still believe there was a bad batch of batteries with the initial launch.

This happens when I hit the back of the phone. Like if I place on the table, it will shut off. No overheating issues. Ill try a new battery first and report back here.

Fold a piece of paper a few times and put it in between your battery and the case. Could be the battery terminals losing contact briefly.

Excellent idea. Hope that fixed it for him.
I haven't tried yet. I'm busy working on my car. I had a blown head gasket and had to replace it. Im stuck with my distributor timing. As soon as I'm done, ill have a crack at my phone.
