2.3 Doesnt have that many new things, but still awesome. I know you can get it through CM7 and other roms, but an official rom will help future ports and increase stability of user created roms, possibly the stability of CM7 on mt4G.

HTC rep told me it was coming end of feb, then saw her again and she told me it was definitely coming middle of march. So while not exactly a lofty goal projecting an entire quarter of a year for a release date, I'll just acknowledge that it's probably coming. someday. definitely maybe.

Sweet! I cant wait for this update!!

It should be in June when the evo 3d comes.

Hopefully we get it soon, but I can wait. 2.3 isn't bringing anything groundbreaking to the table compared to 2.2.

Remember Folks,
Those of us who are brave enough, have had 2.3 for a while thanks to Cyanogen, etc. I will not wait for HTC, they seem to take their time. Not to mention they still haven't put out 2.2 for the MT3G Slide... Besides this will be the last update from HTC if the buyout goes through. Why support a phone that will be a paperweight in a year or so...

There i fixed it for you, and you hit the nail on the head with everything else.

The only reason an official 2.3.3 is good, is for the kernel source and the new lib files for sense and 2.3 that are native to our phone. Makes future ports that much easier.

I know, Ive been using CM7 for a while, but the official 2.3 from HTC is still big news for those who prefer the stock rom. Ill probably go back to stock once the OTA's start rolling out. Also, as stated before, native and official kernels and code will make future ports a lot more easier and stable.

MR2 or MR2.5 Radio?

Any suggestions?

MR2 to me had better battery life
But MR2.5 has better signal strength
MR2.5 drains my battery pretty quick and I've had more random shutdowns from MR2 but only have had one from MR2.5
LOL but with 2.5 for some reason sometimes its like my texts get stuck and when I reboot they come flowing in like crazy all at once and i didn't have that with MR2
I don't know if this helped and all this might not even stem from the radio version and have to do more with kernels and roms but that's my 2 cents

I actually had that text message bug happen to me just this morning on the MR2 radio. I don't think it is necessarily a 2.5 issue or necessarily a radio issue for that matter.
Whatever the reason, I'm glad I have reports turned on, or I would have never known to try resetting my phone.
Running Bamf remix 2.1 btw.

You said MR2 twice lol, which was 2.5?

It's a bit give or take for me. Mr2 transitions a lot smoother and favors 4G even with lesser coverage which I like. Mr2.5 gives me better signal but the issue I have with it is the transition is a tad bit slower, and does favor 3g over 4g if you're on the edge of coverage. Also had issues losing data when my screen is off.

I noticed faster battery drain in mr2.5, but both caused reboots of my phone. I never had reboots until I upgraded to mr2.0. I downgraded back to 1.12.605.6 and now I have reboots. DARN play with something and you break it.

yea I decided to try 2.5 but I am probably going to go back to 2.0 because 3g likes to show itself more often with 2.5 so I had to go into the radio settings and tell it lte mode only to tell 3g to gtfo

[Q] CM7 - does it help signal reliability?

First thing's first - I can honestly say I love this phone. I've had it for almost 2 months now and have never had a complaint... Sure, the signal doesn't always look good on the bars, but I've yet to drop a call and reception has always been good .... I thought...
Two days ago I noticed that under the battery consumption it showed that I was without signal 92% of the day while in the office. I had never been told that anyone was unable to get me on the cell until I asked around after that. Slews of people said they call me but it always rolls to voicemail.
I did at least 2 dozen test calls yesterday and what I'd say that it was alarming at best when only two of those calls actually rang through.
When I got home I watched the signal meter closely and reset the % of time without signal by fully charging the battery. At home I have 3 bars consistently. Come 9PM, which was about 3 hours off the charger, I was without signal 58% of the time. Again, I asked around to my usual callers - four people had tried to call me and all went to voicemail. I severely questioned that, until I called my voicemail and each of them had left messages - and I had not received a voicemail waiting indicator.
SO...
All of that having been said - is it any better with CM7 ? The phone is rooted and ready to play, but I am hesitant to install a pre-beta build on the phone when I depend on it for work.
Thanks so much for any feedback!

If you want a better phone, install b_randon14's mod. I wouldn't recommend cyanogenmod quite yet.

I have the same problem. My girlfriend tried to call me when she was getting harassed by 3 drunk college students. Never rang. From the times I have checked my battery usage, it never said anything about not having a signal. Would b_randon's MOD fix this issue?
Edit: I take it back, just took a look and it said 86%

Well never mind my suggestion, looks like the mod was pulled. Data with the phone has never been perfect exactly, but that mod was theoretically meant to improve on those things. You'll probably have to ask b_randon14 himself whether it'll be re-uploaded in full or in part...

Don't get me wrong - I'm loving this phone, but if I can't figure out a way to get better than what I am , I'll have to look at alternative options.

Not really an option for me... When I'm at work, our wireless network here requires EAP-FAST, which is not available for Android. I've got a way to connect in, ONLY if I bring in my Win7 laptop with me, and that's using an app called Connectify that turns my laptop into a WiFi router, then again, I'm a slave to the network nazis here in the office. They have the ports here locked down - HARD.

Not sure yet. Don't even know what base roms are available for this phone yet. Don't even know if there's a 2.3.x available for this. Still too new. But, probably going to be based on official firmware for the triumph.

Right now the only 2.3 ROM available is the pre-alpha CM7...
That having been said, this phone's GSM cousin has a 2.3 ROM available from it's carrier, but I'm sure it would take a TON of work to re-work that into something we could use.

Finally got around to taking a screen capture of the miserable amount of no signal that I get...
I apologize for the crappy screen cap - guess DroCap2 doesn't like this phone!

My friend got me into flashing my rom & now I am a flashaholic! Keep the roms coming for G2x and if anyone can bump the camera to 12MP back & 2MP front that would be awesome cause that's what Tegra 2 supports to.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Uh.... you can't jump "bump" the megapixels up. The hardware has to support it. And as far as we all know, the G2x has an 8 megapixel camera. The only phone that I'm aware of with a good 12 megapixel camera is the Nokia N8. I think that's actually the only "mainstream" phone with a megapixel count that high.

And Megapixels aren't even important, it all has to do with the camera sensor.

I think the G2x has a sweet cam. I get compliments all the time. I also take lots of shots in dark places and typically come out better then expected.
And the Dev section was never abandoned. I think the Sensation hype is over and lots of people have returned back to the G2x (told ya so). There are tons of Roms ranging from Custom Stock builds, CM7-Kangs, and MIUI builds.

Agreed. The only issue I have is no auto focus (for video), making it hard to take any close-up shots in video mode. I finally have a great camera to record with, but no close ups of text (which sucks if you're doing reviews).
As for development, i'm glad to see it. I've been rooted for a month but haven't tried any ROMs yet because while I may love testing software out on my computer, testing out ROMs on my life support (aka, smartphone) i'm a little more cautious. I gotta get over that fear. Been leaning towards Weapon G2x and the new CM7 stable release. Just gotta find somewhere to get that extra push

Always had buyers remorse ever since day one. Still did when the whole reboot issue just exploded.
Also figured out this device even with all its fault, is still great. I am glad that device ironed out all the bugs and fixes. Still, the phone was great overall and got back to CM7.
The one thing I miss is myTouch 4G stability. That was my previous phone. This one is getting there. Glad development is alive and well.

Yea BOY! The G2X is alive!

Its even more active now with all the ports. Someone is even porting LG optimus 2x layout.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

I recently got into flashing ROMs, and it's been awesome. I tried a few, and settled with Weapon. It's freaking awesome.
I think the G2x has more advantages than most of the recently released phones. It's got an awesome speakerphone, screen is not so big that it draws a lot of batt., but not small either, all the ROM devs making stable, mature ROMs to choose from, and I'm getting some amazing battery life (at idle, about 1.5% drop, per hour).
Keep up the good work guys!

It's ALIVE

Actually, with AT&T already giving the Vivid the ICS update, I'd say that this could be pretty realistic.
At least we know if it doesn't come soon, it's not AT&T, it's Samsung.

ICS has not been released for the Vivid. That is someone talking out of turn (a dedicated tester or volunteer tester). That realease would be all over Android Central and our website.

How do over the air updates with AT&T's work? Isn't just a pop-up box you can cancel or are they forced or what? I rooted my mom's phone but left in stock. Not sure what to expect.

It gives you a notification saying you have an update available, if you want to install it or not, is your choice.
Sometimes you'll even get a text informing you that your phone has an update available.

Another question for the updates, is it only for carrier sold phones? I bought mine at the US but I'm at Israel and I still haven't received the 2.3.6 update.

Very good news, will open development of some nice ROM's. Maybe it will keep me from flashing once or twice a week.

I doubt it. We'll see though, hopefully they surprise.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

To throw my two cents in, the fact that SGSII international is getting it soon and supposedly Vivid is getting it now is a good sign for us.
However, I really don't like TouchWiz's overlay of ICS. To me one of the main features of ICS was a revamped and slick look. TouchWiz 4 just kills that. So what do I, personally (and anyone who feels the same) have to look foward to with ICS?
This is coming from an Android noob btw, so if there was extra features besides the FaceUnlock *useless imo* and sleek UI please enlighten me.

To throw my two cents in, the fact that SGSII international is getting it soon and supposedly Vivid is getting it now is a good sign for us.
However, I really don't like TouchWiz's overlay of ICS. To me one of the main features of ICS was a revamped and slick look. TouchWiz 4 just kills that. So what do I, personally (and anyone who feels the same) have to look foward to with ICS?

The real benefit will be the Kernel getting into the hands of the Devs. In time, they will do many thing with it including a non-Touchwiz version ROM.

Love how they mention that leaked roms from Samsung are showing signs of progress. My question is, WHERE ARE THE ICS LEAKS FOR THE SKYOCKET?!?
When I had my Captivate we were getting new gingerbread leaks almost every day for several months. Who do we need to talk to to get some leaks for us? Anyone know???

From what I understand ICS is completely redone. There are alot of new code and things done different from previous versions of Android. I can understand why nothing has really been released yet. I know there is a couple versions of ICS over in the development section but there are very few things that work.
