Users that updated their G2X to V21E, you getting any random reboots or freezing? Please report in this post. Thanks!
Nope not yet and seem overall faster, but only time will tell.
Is Wifi fixed?
Yea, the true test will be a couple of days of uptime...

Been only a few hours guys. Take a day or 2 to test this out. Battery, WIFI, GPS, Reboots...etc
None so far... but the true test is when it's on my charger at night. So we will see...
None so far. Definitely noticeable increase in speed. No wifi or GPS issues yet either. Only bug so far is the 4g and signal status not switching to green indicating network connection to Google. Does on my N1.

my phone sometimes freezes or becomes unresponsive to my fingers...
I will be flashing back to 2.2. I never had a single reboot in the 4 months I've had the phone and now in 3 hours since I have updated, the phone has rebooted 4 times and froze twice. Also, my GPS would lock in 10 seconds with 20 feet of accuracy and now its taking a couple minutes to lock with 100 feet of accuracy. I really hope this isn't the finished product.

Your crazy. ;-)
Is your phone set to Max brightness or is it on auto? If its on auto, I bet LG reprogrammed the code to dim the backlight more than it was before so people don't notice it as much. Mine has always been minimal but its still the same at max brightness. A software update ain't going to fix a hardware issue.

That jrwingate6 guy is some sort of shill poster,
claims to love the phone,
the next day he hates it,
next day he says he is leaving the forum because he is selling it,
next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone,
next day he is complaining that GB is never coming,
next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again,
next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it
And he continues. if he is not some sort of paid corporate troll....its a pity because he is working it hard.
jrwingate6, I called you on this before....its fine....if I see your reply you can assume, I passed it off as gar-bauge and moved on.

OK, JR and I disagree more than we agree, and I'm sure he can defend himself but:
- claims to love the phone
He talks positively about aspects of it.
-the next day he hates it
He talks negatively about aspects of it.
-next day he says he is leaving the forum because he is selling it
He kept it because he got it free from T-Mobile and it does some things better than the Sensation.
-next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone
I don't know where you pulled this from but it doesn't sound like JR
-next day he is complaining that GB is never coming
So?
-next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again
Lots of rumors about this. JR tends to quote from a source though.
-next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it
Too early to tell if others are going to experience the same thing.
Tom, you're the one that still believes the phone's not for sale on tmobile.com because it's so popular. You're no stranger to sharing and defending unique opinions so it's odd you chose to single out JR. You've gone after me too. I come here to hear different opinions. I can figure out which one's to believe without a self-appointed moderator telling me.

I know theres a poll on issues etc and rebooting is mentioned, but I feel it was too early to poll and people could have voted and had a reboot after...
So question is..... has your phone rebooted? Or just fine?
Also if you could mention how long you had it that would be great....
I just want to know exactly who is having reboots and who hasn't..
Not once on its own.

LOTS of reboots
I have had about 20 in two weeks. I am CURRENTLY getting CONTINUOUS reboots.
It had the LG logo and thinking bar, underneath it said "System checking". Now it has rebooted non-stop (6 times so far as I'm typing).
New phone should arrive on my doorstep within the next hour or so... fingers crossed.
once that I know of. No idea why. It just rebooted while on my desk idle.
In the one week I had the phone (preroot), never. Even after rooting it, never.
Haven't had any issues with mine.
Had 3 reboots in 5 days on my old phone. Nothing yet on new one so far. It has been 3 days. I noticed my old phone was alot hotter than this one. Possibly a hardware issue after all.
Guys, try to turn off gps, I did that and I have 0 reboot and 0 shut down today, I had a lot of reboots and phone turning off by itself before that. I'll see what happens when I charge it tonight and I'll let u guys know.

Theres got to be something thats causing it.
results don't look so good..
Hmmm prerooted I had maybe one and some freezing and lag..
rooted no reboots except running eaglesblood rom and experimental kernel with pauls lag apparentky too much going on there. .
If your phone is rebooting constantly don't even waste your time return it for a new unit. The att galaxy s had the same prob and everyone waited for a fix only to find out it was hardware related....if your in the 14 day window don't even waste your time and end up with a refurb

I bought my g2x a day after launch. For a few days, I didn't experience any reboots. After that they starting happening but not too often. Eventually (by yesterday), it was happening more often. Somewhere in that time frame I did a factory reset to try to improve battery life.
I called tmobile support yesterday and they made do another factory reset and not install any apps. It has been 16 hours without a reboot but that doesn't prove anything, really. First, it doesn't necessarily happen every day. Second, without any non-default apps installed, it may not be taxing the device enough. Third, even if it is an app's fault, it may not be directly the apps fault. Am I supposed to run no apps if that turns out to be the problem?
They will be calling back at three and I'm going to try to push them for a replacement. I'm also having reception issues and the battery could certainly last longer.
None here, gps is not turned off

I am on my 5th G2X... with a build date of 4/3/2011 and I have not had a reboot as of yet with GPS turned on. This has also been the best phone out of all those 5, I have a week left and if I experience problems I will be taking it back. As somoene said dont waste your time your better off returning it then waiting for a fix.

I just took it to the store, told them the problems I was having mentioned the reboots, screen bleed, and data connection issues. Told them I was within the 14days and that Customer Care told me to come to the store and try and get a working phone. I wouldnt talk about the reboots as it may not happen in store if you have screen bleed its easier that way cause you can prove that.
Did you buy it in store, online or over the phone?
There isn't a day that goes by that people dont complain about this phone. It seems that every since the bleeding issue has been addressed people have been finding the tiniest things to get mad about. Some things can be fixed through software fixes/roms and some things you just simply return the device for if you can't fix it yourself. Some things are just your imagination lol. The device in my opinion is doing good to be out for almost a month. Maybe I'm just tired of hearing people let the negative outweigh the positive. Honestly if you didn't want the issues you should have waited a couple months after the launch. This is the first phone I bought on the day it launched. I expected issues...nothing is perfect but with these roms coming out its starting to become a perfect device in my eyes. Once Faux123 cooks us a kernel there shouldn't be any complaints left.

Totally agree
Yes, what is even more annoying is that each "issue" has two dozen threads dedicated to it. Making it impossible for anyone to make any headway.
How about a single "battery issues and solutions" thread?
A single "LCD bleed" thread.
A single "random reboot" thread.
Can you imagine how much better this forum would be? Maybe the mods could merge threads and do this, but it's probably too far gone at this point to implement some organization.
Currently, every time someone has one of those issues, they start a whole new f-ing thread.

Op - I know at one point you were planning on returning the g2x and wait for sensation. Glad that you have got one that doesn't have that much bleeding and you are happy with it
For me personally this device rocks in all aspects except for the slight lcd bleeding I have. Any other software issues will be addressed by our awesome devs. I just hope LG address this lcd bleeding.

+1 everyone being WAY too picky.
100% of the people are under a FULL REFUND period still. Rather than b*tch and whine, return the thing and get something else. Why cause so much stress you have to whine on an online forum about it instead of just returning the thing for 100% your money back? Sounds like gluttony for punishment to me; would rather waste 5-10min complaining than rectify the situation and be done with it by getting something else. Tmobile has plenty of other good android phones.
The blacklight bleed is not that big an issue. Anyone running their backlight at 100% all of the time to complain about it has bigger issues like going 4 hours on a charge. No one should need to set the backlight at 100% for anything besides trying to kill your battery for some reason.
And if LG does fix the issue EVERYONE has a 1 year warranty on the phone despite the return period to swap it for a "fixed" one. There is absolutely nothing that warrants the dozens of threads about it blocking other meaningful discussions.

So far this has been the best Android device I have ever used and I have used many. Luckily I do not have a single problem with this phone. My WiFi works great and never fights with data. I get 30mbs download speeds and 10mbs upload speeds while on WiFi. I get 7mbs download and 2mbs upload on 4G. My GPS locks within 3 seconds and is accurate to 5 feet. I am running the stock software with the pre-dexopt patch using Launcher Pro and this phone flies through everything. It plays every game at high frame rates and Flash runs buttery smooth. I never thought I would use a Android phone that didn't lag but this phone hasn't lagged once. I can honestly say that I am extremely happy and in my opinion this is the best device available in the US right now. The only device that will dethrone it is the SGII which I will be getting and give the G2X to my wife. For those who think the Sensation will be better than the G2x.....HAHAHAHAHAHAH

This phone is far superior to my G1. As long as it just runs with no errors, I'm good.
.....or it could be that many of the first release devices had major issues and people have come to rely on the excellent folks here at XDA to help them. I know that many also moved from the HD2 to a full time android device and there has been growing pains.
I had a POS one, swapped it and am very happy now.
Thanks again to all great people here at XDA that have helped me make the adjustment from WM.
Reading is the key!
Just my personal opinion, but it does seem like they rushed out the 2.2 build. I worked as a sales rep for T-Mobile (today was my last day), so I had to see the dark side of the user experience more since people would come to me with troubleshooting issues. It just doesn't have the polish that I would expect from a 2.2 ROM. Most times it would fly, but occasionally it would hang when switching apps, be slow to respond, and sometimes outright crash for no reason. That said, almost all the stability issues I've had were fixed when I flashed the Gingerbread leak, and I didn't even wipe before flashing (I was naughty).
Seems to me like they intended to ship it with 2.3 but ran short on time. Instead they took the ROM they had for the O2x, got rid of their UI changes and hobbled it onto the G2x with the intention of updating it quickly. For that reason, I told the customers that came into my store with stability issues to wait for the update, but if it doesn't come before their return period is up (30 days here in California) to go ahead and return it. I fully expect that update to come before June 20th.

Rant
here's the kicker... You see, I'm a NEW android/smartphone user. This is my first smartphone. I came from using a razr just for phone calls, for the last 4+ yrs.
I thought the g2x is the next best thing to sliced bread. I love it. I got mine on the day it was launched, the first run of phones.. It has slight screen bleed.. so what. I would have never noticed it unless someone said something. I thought about returning the phone to get a different one because "heck, everyone else was complaining"... and I was like.. why would I do that? The phone works fine.. nothing wrong with it... and I'll probably get one that has more probs.
So I kept the phone. Battery life? As someone else said... on every single other forum where a new phone comes out... that's the #1 talked about topic. "Battery life sucks! Battery life sucks!" Now after talking to a few folks, do I see there is a problem for a few people.. absolutely. If you're phone has apps frozen, nothing running, you set it down on the table.. pick it up a cpl hours later and it has dropped 25%... ya, major problem. A few guys are seeing a drop down to a dead battery in 8hrs, with almost zero usage. A phone call or 2 and litearlly a few txt msgs. There is somethihng seriously wrong. BUT there are others that are using their phone all day long.. txting all day.. screwing battery usage with using ATK 30x a day, etc.. and they are complaining about battery life of 8hrs when they are using their phone like a computer. Stupid.
I have talked to multiple guys about their battery usage... they started off complaining... Then as we discussed in PMs... they admitted.. "Ya I guess I do use the phone a lot. I'm literally texting all day long." WTF!?!? Duhhhhhhhhhh
lol... I seriously believe that around 75% of the battery complaints are idiots using the crap out of their phone... and wondering what is going on...
/rant
I totally agree...way too much complaining. And I LOVE that we now have a thread for complaining about the complaint threads. I know, I'm twisty...but I love it.
I agree. I was just looking at the pictures posted in one of those other threads of the screen bleed. They are all mostly like mine. One, with a sqiggly line, did look really bad. But really, I do not see the bleed in everyday use. At all.( Edit: And I am a 100% brightness sorta guy) Someone was griping about how they can't see it in use, but boy when 2,3 comes out and that bar turns black....oh boy am I gonna be mad!! Wow.
Mine activated early yesterday morning. I am amazed at this thing...
I may totally regret saying this, but other than the screen bleed "issue", this thing has been perfect for me. Just lucky I guess.
No reboots, wifi seems to work perfect, great data speeds and clear crisp calls. So far. My call reception was awful on Metropcs.
Again I may regret saying this. I have seen a couple of posts where people say they started having issues after a week or so.
Am I the only one having a problem free experience?
It's been 2 weeks sense I got the phone and I'm not counting the screen bleed, dead pixel, random revolts. Today all of the sadden the phone is in my pocket an I felt its very hot I look at the phone ant its stock and looping the LG logo and turning off and turning on and no matter what I did its still the same looping it got so hot it was burning my hands do I took the battery off and and it is going back to T-Mobile and I know u guys want to defend your phones noo its good its perfect butt you'll see that this phones are manufacturing defect and I almost sold my Nexus s.

thanks for sharing the battery experience. I don't know why people are getting on you for posting this. I mean, this is a forum for g2x, right? this guy has a problem with his g2x and he's sharing the experience. nothing wrong with that. it seems like some people are just fanboys for the phone. if you don't like seeing complaint posts and criticism about your phone, then why are in a forum?
anyways. i exchanged my phone 4 times and all of them had minor screen bleed. but I didn't experience any reboots or battery overheat issue.
Thanx C19932 I loved the phone too its the fastest but it doesn't mean it has to have so many problems. I tough about exchanging but I read here all the people exchanged still have problems, and I paid full price for it that's how I like the phones

It's, I think, the later responses that pretty much assume everybody will have these problems and/or are ignoring them altogether that are getting to some posters.
I had to go to the store for an exchange as well. You're not the only one experiencing problems, and people can't act like you are.
Cool story bro.

You got a bad one just like I had 3 of them until I found a good one. There is problems with this phone just like every other one. I had to exchange my Vibrant 4 times just to get a working GPS and had to exchange my N1 3 times for various reasons. I wouldn't say I'm rich but I have enough money to buy any phone I want and I chose to buy this one for the time being. I chose it for a couple of reasons. The DEV support its going to receive and its the quickest phone on the market. I have no doubt in my mind that I am going to buy the SGII if it gets to Tmobile but I can tell you right now, once I get rid of this phone, I wont make a thread crying about it. I am no fanboy for any device and I am not loyal to any particular manufacturer so I could give a **** less what you say about the G2X just as long as you use English the next time you start ranting.
By the way, my G2X has no problems but my first 3 did. This is the best Android device I have ever used.

mine had screen bleed so tmobile gave me a new one , this new one has less screen bleed , this new one had the same problem that youre describing , just turn off the phone by removing the battery , put it in again , hold down the vol down button then hold down the power button at the same time , it should enter factory reset mode , there it should boot again normally , been working fine so far.
its a buggy phone, but its the software fault not the hardware, gingerbread should fix the problem , i would like it to have honeycomb instead of gingerbread though.
Thanx all of u, u guys are the best. Thanx for responding
I'm on my second G2X but since rooting and freezing the T-mobile junk this is by far the best phone I've ever had. Before this I was a hardcore Nokia user.
From what I've read the first batch of phones was bad but it would seen that these are getting fixed. Case in point is the screen bleed, my first phone was awful but this one has none and I know of 3 others who have no bleed either.

I bought my g2x on april 20th released date... And yes i had problems not rebooting or freezes just when i'm not using the phone and it goes to sleep.. It would not come back on unless i take off the battery and power on... Well the next day i call tmobile and wanted a replacement they told me to go to any tmobile store for the exchange
and it was out of stuck everywhere.. So finally found a store the had one... I replaced my phone and this g2x the i have had ever since the 21th of april has not issues no reboots no freezing no stay on sleep mode but still have the screen bleed...
And i tell yall the keep talking bad about the phone you may be out of luck on having one the is bad...
But im loving my g2x ever since i got it... And i flash roms and kernals all the time...
This phone sure is fast as advertise
Honestly I had 3 g2xs before the sensation now back to g2x. First two g2x I returned because dust and dead pixel. My third I had for a month and only 3 reboots. I followed the crowd to the sensation especially hearing about everyone having g2x issues. I loved the sensation. I think just cause it was new. Well I went through 3 sensations and have the 4th on the way. Well I use wifi daily, and although some have good wifi as I've seen proof, over 50% of users polled that owned a sensation have wifi issues. Mine would completely die just 10 feet away turned away from the router..
So I traded my sensation on Craigslist for a g2x and 75 bucks. The g2x has absolutely no screen bleed, I can show proof, and it was preloaded with cm7. It hasn't rebooted once in 4 days now and being used I would like to think if it would I would have experienced it by now...
So all I'm all 4 g2xs and they rocked, only one had minor reboots, but hell my vibrant and other phones reboot periodically also..
I love my g2x. No more headaches with no root on the sensation ..

My MT4G does EVERYTHING that I ask it to..... My G2x does not. Try entering an address in the navigation app when you are in a hurry and see how long it takes to start speaking turn by turn directions on the G2x...It's cool to defend your device because you paid for it and all, but I paid full off contract price for every phone I have owned and the G2x is by far my biggest disappointment...

That's good to hear.

Looking around, issues are definitely prevalent so your post gives me a bit of hope at least that I didn't buy a Vibrant 2. Guess I'll find out myself soon

Nothings perfect buddy lol but definitely don't have all the problems people talk about. My g2x runs very nice especially running cm, the synergy theme and one of morfics special kernels that I'm currently testing. This thing is a monster
We are few it seems, my G2x is flawless, no bleed, no freezes, no wi fi issue nor reboots...maybe I got the last batch...
I've got a good g2x also. Mine was having glitchy problems when I first got it as well. But I never had it stock. I paid the guy at the store to root it and he installed the leaked gb rom before I ever had it in my hands. There must have been something wrong with the flash, because once I learned how to do it on my own, I started all over. Flashed the original unrooted rom, then flashed cwm with nvflash and began having fun. Yes, I also have the minor screen bleed up in the top left and right corners that appears only one a completely black background.
I've had my g2x since day one gave my wife my mt4g and never looked back or had a problem .....u usually change phones when new ones come out so I went to see tbr sensation to see if I wanted to get it but wasn't really impress I like my g2x better and its way faster ......ill wait for next phone to come out but for now I think this phone was the best android phone I've ever had and I've had alot of them starting from g1 ......well the nexus one was bad ass in it's time ......oh wait I did have a freeze but it was cuz if the Trinity kernel when it first came out ....now I'm on the newest eaglesblood and on fleux latest kernel and my phone is freaking fast ......GPS is good also ......my boy just bought his evo 3d and he wants his phone to b as fast as mines lol.......

I have the canadian release from Wind and read these threads of issues and shake my head, can't understand why you have so many bad devices. Mine is rock solid man, very minimal screen bleed, no reboots, it gets a little warm while charging but no worse then my nexus s did. I love this device my only gripe is I wish it had more ram.

In the week I've had the phone so far, I've been very happy with it. I seemed to have a pretty smooth device; no restarts, and only a slight screen bleed which wasn't visible enough to annoy me. However that experience changed yesterday when I decided to try out the HDMI output and connected it to the TV. I played Samurai II for a bit then went off to watch a couple of Youtube videos. About 1/4 the way through a video, a message displayed about a sensor detecting the phone was too hot and the device needs to shut down. Checked it out and it was indeed cooking, and reeked like fried electronics. I had no sign of heat on the device when playing the game so I was quite surprised. My apartment is quite cool too due to my roommates love for air conditioning. I pulled the battery and left it cool off for a couple of hours; now when I use it, if I'm on the phone for about 10 minutes, or if I play a game or something on it the phone will start to overheat and the battery drains very quickly. Doing a search on Google, I found similar reports of the problem with people using a HDMI cable from monoprice, which was where I got the cable from as well, so I'm going to bet that this probably isn't a coincidence.
I gave T-Mobile a call and am going to be getting a replacement, I think I'm just going to leave the HDMI port alone on that one. Other than that, I loved the phone quite a lot

YOu know, no one with a good G2x can say this. Has to come from someone with a bad G2x. If one of us lucky ones say this, we're insensitive. But we're not really. I wonder every day how I got a good one..and so many people got a bad one.
I said in a previous thread, I thought there were far more good ones than bad ones. But that caused a ruckus. After all, you come to a site where they talk about problems, you mostly talk to people with problems. No one ever calls support to say...Good Job, no problems here...thought you should know. Having worked in support for 20 yrs, I can tell you every statement from someone saying....CS told me this....should remember, its a very one sided point of view. Imagine sitting there, taking hundreds of calls a day, all of them complaints. With every new phone that comes out, there's the same complaints, but newer phones. Every release sucks, because you work your butt off to answer problems with new phones.
I remember 1 guy, called support over 600 times about the same or similar problems...in 1 month. Our stats were horrible, until we looked at unique users...then the issue wasn't so bad. This guy called so many times, he recognized voices and names associated....it was very funny.
Very 1 sided point of view.
I upgraded using the LG tool and everything went fine. Setup the ROM from scratch and all was well but then I kept having these issues so I shelved the G2X and went back to Sensation UNTIL T-mobile released what I thought would be a newer official build.
The fact that they are putting out V21E as the official GB build is downright sad and pathetic. After many months of promising an update they can't even get a release out there that's not busted. I know it is possible but it seems only HTC and perhaps Samsung know how to write software...my old Droid Incredible, friends Evo 4G and now Sensation are rock solid and everything just works. Samsung Nexus S and Galaxy variants also just mainly work.
I had these issues for the 24 hours I used the G2X with V21E - I got fed up and stopped using it but I'm sure there are others.
- Several times phone rang/vibrated due to incoming call so I answered the call which worked BUT the phone kept vibrating like it was still ringing even while I'm talking to the other person. Only solution is to hang up call and call back. Doesn't happen every time but happened quite often.
- Bluetooth is buggy as hell. Sometimes a device that's paired won't connect unless I powercycle the BT on the phone.
-- I was listening to music once with A2DP headset and a call came in. I answered the call and everything was great. I hung up the call and now no BT audio would come through the headset or even the phone speaker no matter what I did. Turn off BT/turn on, etc. Only solution was to powercycle
--Later on was using the phone, connected my paired A2DP headset to the G2X and almost instantly the phone screen turned off and it locked up. Had to pull the battery
- Weird issue with apps like (edit: Google's podcast app not HTC) Listen. Will play for a while and then all of a sudden stop playing and nothing I can do will get it to play again unless I uninstall/reinstall the app. Never happened on Froyo or CM7.
- Gets very warm - battery app showed the temp being well over 35 degrees celcius most times I looked and I wasn't even using the phone much.
- Was using the Google reader to read articles and all of a sudden the phone started slowing down and then it just froze with the screen on. Nothing I did would get a response from it. Power + vol up didn't work. had to pull the battery.
I mean this is freaking ridiculous. I have the Sensation setup with the exact same apps, launcher, settings, everything and I have ZERO issues. This is simply crappy software and LG should be ashamed.
FWIW, CM7 latest nightlies I never had ANY of these problems but A2DP doesn't work on CM7 so can't use it daily. Once A2DP starts working on CM7 I might give it another shot.
I'm definitely done with LG for a while.

Weird, I had reboots and SOD problems in Froyo but otherwise I had NO other issues in Froyo - when the phone wasn't rebooting or turned off it worked perfectly. This GB build has way more problems for me than Froyo.
Solid here..... Not a bad update imo
Same here I haven't experienced any of these problems, not even in Frito either. The update overall has done it all for me. I would try reinstalling the update again if I were you

I did, note how I said I set it up from scratch. There is BOUND to be issues with this because the kernel is the same as froyo - many of the problems were caused by the kernel and since that hasn't changed, how would the issues be fixed? CM7 might fix issues because it's a different kernel.
My phone is now freezing up!!! WTH! Three times since the update in less than 12 hours. I wanted to call Tmobile customer service to cancel my Value Plan i switched to a day earlier but couldn't. I had to remove the battery and reset the phone before making my call.
I told them I didn't want to spend $200 for the migration fee and then be stuck in a new 2 year contract with this G2X phone and pay a $200 if I leave that Value Plan contract or spend full price on a phone to replace this junk. I went back to my 1500 mins, unlim text, 5 gb data for $79.99 plus %15 discount on that. The person I spoke with was surprised this new update was having issues. She knew this phone had bugs because her friend had this phone. She also knew they took it off their website and just brought it back with Gingerbread.
She said she will make a note in my account to give me a full upgrade credit because I am on my second phone and I told her that I was going to leave to Sprint! Hopefully my phone wont cause me to smash it before the Samsung Hercules comes out on Sept 26.

Looks like I'm not the only one.
I just got T-Mobile to send me a replacement G2X on Thursday so will see if I have same issues. At this point I truly believe I have a hardware issue.

I can't help to think that theres some app people are installing that's causing some of these issues. My phone has been perfect in operation, but froyo was great too.
People need to understand that the tegra 2 has some compatibility issues as well with some apps.
Uninstall everything 3rd party, use the phone for a day and see what probs you have.

I've had issues after a factory reset and not installing anything. Further I'm not keeping a phone that limits the apps I can install. I've got the same exact set of apps on my Sensation and it works perfectly. Its not like I have a ton of apps either, just the ones I need.

No problems so far. I love GB. My bluetooth now syncs with my radio which it wasn't doing with Froyo.
i've had none of these issues. i have had issues like this in the past with a bad flash.
Well I'm getting a replacement G2X that either will come with the update (doubt it) or I'll use OTA to get the update so if after that it doesn't work. I give up.

OK.
I hope you have better luck with your new phone. The Sensation is a piece of garbage according to many. It is all up to luck apparently. It is weird how some have no issues and some have continual issues.
I'm starting to think I have bad hardware too, I'm having more problems with GB than I did with Froyo!
What did you tell them to get a warranty exchange? I was thinking of calling and just overwhelming them with info.
Just worried the replacement device could be worse!
I can't adjust the damn touch key brightness. It is making me crazy. Also the screen is not as responsive as it was with Froyo.
and of course the battery still sucks, but apparently android is a flawed system that just sucks battery for no reason at all. I hope the google/android folks get their stuff together one of these days. I really miss my HD2 battery life. You would think a bigger battery and newer operating system would be more efficient, but crappy battery life seems to be the norm. The tmobile guber that sold me my phones assured me I would get the same life out of the battery, but he was very wrong.

They make you go through troubleshooting so I just answered their questions and she said, fine we'll send you a replacement. Just tell them you have a G2X that has been rebooting/turning off and that even after the update it still happens. That's what I did.

Nope you're not the only one. My G2x today decided for the first time to freeze while I was using it. Plus with this update I get less signal than I had before.
This phone and how tmobile handled it in my situation left a foul taste in my mouth forcing me to switch to Sprint and the HTC EVO 4G. So far its been a happy switch, my phone hasn't locked up, no reboots, doesn't overheat and battery lasted me about 30 hours with moderate use (web browsing for about 30mins, 1hr phone call, and about 2hrs overall on xda) also had WiFi on plus Bluetooth.
Sadly I lost 4G data since Sprint doesn't have any 4G towers in my area yet. But @ $110 a month for unlimited everything and no data throttling it was a good move, plus nice to have signal while at home. WiFi calling worked whenever it felt like so it was no more reliable than plain cell service.
