Update and Conspiracy Theory - T-Mobile LG G2x

I am thinking something... What if someone from LG or TMo deliberately put out this update in order to find out who has a rooted device? We know that if they can prove you did root you lose warranty and YOU CANNOT SUE... And if you cannot sue... Well

No.
-Tmobile phone

Lol, nice try but no, not likely.

They most likely leaked this publicly because of the class action lawsuit. Its not complete yet so it just means they are still working on it. Im sure that it was just some big wig at t-mobile or LG that said throw out what we have regardless of whether its done or not. That way by the time the class action lawsuit even begins the issue will be mute. Its just to shut us annoying brats up

Lmao. That's a definite no. Samsung has done this same thing in the past so its nothing new. Most likely the intent was to leak it out on purpose to keep some of us from jumping off the roof. I personally would of rather LG/T-Mobile publicly speak about the matter than to just leak out the software.

I'm the opposite. While I'd like at least some direction and a hard date, I like the leaked roms because at least YOU KNOW they are working on it. Words don't mean anything... especially from big corps PR

And yes, a lot of people unrooted before they updated so your theory doesn't hold up.

haha yeah i would be careful using it...it seems like it "supports" a lot of devices but it only looks like theres real support for the g1..so i would be careful using it.
but i do think we should get our devs up there :]
I maybe wrong but it looks like the only thing you can flash for the CDMA Hero is a recovery image, no ROMs yet.
Seems similar to Flipz Kitchen...which is out to donators now! Hopefully this doesn't start another donnybrook around here!

nothing wrong with choice unless he borrowed some stuff from flips?
Is it just me or does everybody just way prefer to take the few extra steps to do this stuff myself I never trust one of these so called auto anything basically
I trusted the Kitchen to root, because I mean what harm could it do. But Flash a Rom? Not a chance I am trusting anything but my self.
I think I will stick with the fresh kitchen until some more reviews hit about this. Wonder if the dev has any sort of checks to make sure you aren't about to really screw up???
ill do it whats the worst that could happen... bad flash? no big deal just boot into recovery lol....
dont be scurd
Something gets labeled wrong in the app you flash it thinking o it says its OK to do and it bricks your phone so yea called me scared but I prefer my phone useable not in paperweight mode
I downloaded it. Looks promising... I hope it works!

Nope and if you look at

I just researched and you are right, that baseband appears much newer. I also noticed on the Incredible 2 update page, that it has no date listed. Perhaps these are coming down the tubes together this weekend.

Looks good, but you will likely have to say goodbye to the free mobile hotspot if you are not rooted.
And no mention of gingerbread for us non-rooted users.

Yes, that is one thing I saw that was missing. However if this solves the stability issue then GB might be an easy push for them to get out. Or, they forgot to tack it onto the flyer

seriously? the GPS on the tbolt is a complete fail and it's a software issue. Using a third party GPS app to "fix" it that worked the first few times and now it locks in minutes (or till i just give up) rather than a couple seconds.
Sorry. I guess i was just spoiled being on the Dinc that locked instantly every single time.
But since you question it, i am jealous yours works.
I know it usually doesn't mean much but all day I've been getting the Service Unavailable error when checking for any updates

I would think they would have to go that way, since the Atrix is running 16 internal, 1GB RAM and capability for 32GB microSD. What I'm hoping for in this device is something of an "Atrix as it should have been" kind of device. The various rumors have it as having Gingerbread 2.3.4 installed. Was that the case on this device? I'm hoping they rework the exterior (including a kickstand) and go with Gorilla glass for the screen in the production versions. Did you look at the battery yet, as to capacity? I guess basically what I'm hoping for is something like a Thunderbolt or Sensation on steroids as far as features and performance go. I eagerly await your further impressions on this device.

GSM Version?

Quick question, Will there be an GSM version of the Photon Q LTE? with removable SIM?
I'm talking about a different variant
the codename for the photon q is the asanti_c, there is a lot of reason to believe a gsm friendly version will come out that will be called just the asanti.

Shouldn't take much more than a hardware tweak on their end at least.

Correct.
It is codename Asanti and the model is XT898. Right now I know it will be for AT&T, but usually you can get an unlock codes for other carriers.
Code:
_._._.XT898-continuous.ATT.en.US
_._._.XT898.ATT.en.US
Great, let's hope other variants will have an unlocked bootloader

As long as the carrier allows them it should. Seeing as AT&T is the reason behind the Atrix HD not being unlocked, (hardware/software support it, just not the Unlock My Device page), I'd say the chance is slim.
There should be international version of the phone, from what I know (I don't know about AT&T version).
There should be one if only for the fact that this is the first high end QWERTY device I have seen in ages

I fixed that bug the day I got my glide, just replaced the APK from the one on OsiMood, and we already have an ICS Update, you have to plug your phone on a PC, start Kies, and search for updates.
I don´t want to be disrespectful, but judging by your answer, I think that Angry Birds may be a little too complicate for your mental capacity, maybe you should try Pong, more apropiated for someone of your generation.

[Q] Radio Not Turning On?

I am having this issue since day one. I bought the Nexus primarily for testing out the developer preview. I flashed to it, everything worked fine. But as soon as I entered my sim and restarted, phone turns it's radio off and displays "Please turn off Airplane mode to place a call" when dialing a number and displays no service.
Also through the code "*#*#4636#*#*", I noticed I couldn't turn on the radio through the "Turn On Radio" button. Whenever I press it, nothing happens.
If someone can help with this, then that be great!

Sorry, I should have mentioned in the OP, I have tried every factory image available for the Nexus 5. Nothing changes. Even tried relocking the bootloader and unlocking it. No clue what is wrong. :-/
Very strange... Do you have another SIM card to try? Not sure if it would make a difference, but it's worth a shot.
Edit: Haha I thought I was the only one crazy enough to consider getting a Nexus 5 just for the Dev preview XD
I didn't go through with it though.

No RMA. I would recommend you wait for the final release. I don't wanna blame Google neither I am sure but I think Android L messed up my Radio in the first place. So yeah, wait for release and try to see if the final one has it all sorted.
