I made a new friend high up tech support for t mo. He tells me the gb that's out is beta and rushed to appease the lawsuits and angry masses they could be 3-6 weeks out of the true update. They know about all current issues posted on here, but if you have any new issues I suggest letting them know.

the gb upgrade is pretty bad. i tried it and it just slightly better then froyo in the interactivity. it was choopy and unresponsive for my taste. I went back to CM7 almost immediately.
There really is no reason to ever use stock when we've got so many great ROMs to choose from.
The only thing worthwhile about this update is the new baseband, which is fantastic and I'm glad to have it. But once you've got it, go right back to CM7/Eaglesblood/MIUI/Whatever.
Lol, it's all LG's fault. I will not believe that so called 3-6week crap

The whole convo came about because of my *****ing about the laggy key response. But this is the build they almost pushed back at end of may early June with an updated baseband. An issues with the new kernals and using too much ram. We got pretty drunk by the end of the talks. They know most of us are frustrated and upset and want to push the best possible product.

A couple days ago, I was in this little wine bar and I noticed a guy down the bar sitting by himself. He saw me pull out my G2X so he walked over to ask me how I liked it. Upon responding to his weird answer, I noticed a T-Mobile ID badge around his neck but those was not your normal no nothing sales executive. This guy actually had a important job and I could tell by his Armani suit with an insanely high thread count. I too him I liked mine but also told him that it was my 5th one since the first 4 were plagued with problems. I also told him about all the complaints I hear online and in these forums concerning issues anywhere from screen bleed to bad battery's. We had a couple drinks together and started bullshitting about phones. This guy was so easy to buy information from. All it took was a couple shots of Patron and a couple glasses of Opus One Cabernet. He proceeds to tell me about all the phones coming out in the next couple months which included 2 high end Samsung phones (A dual core version of the Infuse codnamed Hercules) and the real SGSII with the Exynos chip. He also told me about another high end HTC device and the next Nexus device that will be a quad core and released in November. All of this news was nothing compared to what he told me next. Quite frankly, I'm sure he could be fired for what he told me next. He said that this version of GB for the G2X was I fact rushed but they were not going to release another version of it. Instead, they are going to update us with Ice Cream Sandwich in 3 weeks and the G2X will be the first device to get it. He said the phone can't really get any buggier than what it already is so Google has decided to put the buggy phone to use and make us all Beta testers for Ice Cream Sandwich.
I'm so stoked and I know you all are too!!!

I like stock. I prefer it right now.
Hehe...I'll take my responses off the air.
I didn't even test out the stock GB. I flashed it for the baseband and immediately switched to EB 2.3.3 1.05 and then 1.06 the next day. MUCH better than stock Froyo!
As for the 2 "stories" above, no comment lol.
The second story was a nice read. I'm in for story time. Who can beat that? LOL

I think he forgot to mention the Absinthe that started the evening. I think that Tmo will get some bastardized version of the SGS II, but with all the troubles that the Vibrant brought, I'm not sure it will be a winner.
I really enjoy taking pics with my phone and it really sucks that GB update doesn't have the LG camera. :S

I really doubt that second story. Don't you think google would want to put and test their new os on a nice quad core that will be releasing later. Yea I think that's reason enough to believe that won't happen.

Or what he might of meant is that the G2x will be the first to receive the ICS update. Hopefully we do get that update, but I honestly don't think LG would update this phone to a major update such as ICS especially since they struggled so badly with Gingerbread. I can only imagine how much customers and money LG has lost by releasing the G2x and O2x with all the software issues it had/has. For the record my only 2 issues with this phone are random reboots and camera app being dark (yes I'm on the Gingerbread update).

Why i might get an iPhone, it is a lot to read. But please do.
Ive had multiple phones within the past 2 years and the Captivate has treated me well. But I have grown old of the constant reflashing and updating. It all started with my first unlocked phone, the Xpressmusic 5800, then came the N97. I loved the N97 and its design but once again nokia failed and put a horrible processor in their flagship. Also symbian got too clunky for me and was unbearable. then came The Bold 9700 which was great for the first week but within 2 weeks i had moved back to the N97. A week later i got the Touch Pro 2 and fell in love with the keyboard but wasn't fond of the bulkiness. I flashed different roms and it was great but once again it was just way too thick. the Xperia X2 was next of my many phones. the physical keys, optical track pad, and perfect keyboard was one of the best i have ever used. After many months of waiting for a HSPL it never came. the Design was perfect but it was just too slow for my preference.
Then came the Captivate. Ive had this phone for nearly a year which is a feat for me. i got it for 450 the first week it was out and fell is love with the Amoled Screen. The first thing i plashed was bugless beast which got rid of bloatware and allowed me to install non market apps. went through different roms and though i love android its the same old trying to make it better with different roms. here i am using MIUI losing the theming which is fairly close to the iphone
Keep in mind i have a first gen touch and i use it daily in the car, my itouch has been the oldest peice of tech i have used and still works. i never got sick of the itouch and still use it.
My contract has been up a few months after i got the captivate and ive been waiting for something to replace the captivate. i always admired the iphone 4 design but was waiting for maybe the new iphone 5. Just a few days ago they released that the iphone 4 WHITE was going to be released soon, which leads me to believe that the iphone 5 isnt going to be released this year.
I have used every mobile OS and IOS is the only os that i havnt gotten sick of yet.

If you're going to get an iphone, wait until the next one comes out. It has some ground-breaking additions, like being able to hold it without worrying about signal loss.

That's a shame man. The white iPhone is pretty (I'd personally wait for the iPhone 5) but with the way I use my cappy I don't think I could do it. Drag and drop music and videos is something the iPhone will never do, and I use my captivate the most for those two things. On the flipside, you can be more social with an iPhone and it's FaceTime and the fact everyone has one and that sorta thing. Personally, I'm sticking with the cappy, at least until iPhone 6 or Galaxy s3
I honestly would never trade my cappy for an iphone.
I can barely live with the same rom and launcher for more than a few weeks, imagine having an uncustomizable phone.

I have a captivate, and well, love the way I can customize it to suit me. I tried using an iphone 4 for a couple days, but couldn't stick for more than a few hours. I don't say iphone 4 is bad, but its the feeling of "freedom" that I feel with captivate that I can't seem to let go of it. I came to Captivate after using 3GS for about an year.
Anyways, in the end, its all ur personal decision to go from a free land to alcazar prison. All I can say is all the best in ur move. But don't expect to get too far in the waters since all that can be done is jailbreak.
Since u waited this long, why not wait till June? Its just about a month from now, and if there is a new model then u'd be sitting holding ur head.
judging by his history, he doesnt research before he buys, just buys whats cool. He'll get it play with it for a month then come back to the captivate and unlock it for his new contract he'll pick up with the icrap....
when he could just unlock it now and become a monthly customer. no contract! with a phone without limitations... except ff camera.
oh friggin well.
peace the F out!
see you in a month...

alternatively why would he point out samsung rather than the notoriously ****ty design htc uses on the aria and incredible. who puts the antennas in the battery door? dumbasses! if a phone experiences death grip it is htc! never mind apple.

Sending in my G2x for.....another G2x! xD I'm getting a replacement in the mail soon.
Besides my defective touchscreen of death and shoddy GPS, the phone was pretty good. So I'm giving LG a second chance here. Even if this new one's GPS ain't perfect, as long as the screen works, I will consider the best Android phone I've owned yet. Besides, I ain't down with Sense and I don't have the patience to wait for HTC to unlock the bootloader on it.
Sense rom and a screen that is useless outdoors compared to the g2x. Have fun.
G2x with CM7 and faux .18 kernel. [email protected] 5091 quadrant.
After having had trialed the Sensation for about a week I have made my decision. I am going to get rid of my G2X. The Sensation is just so much more stable than the G2X. It's been about a week now, and I still have not had any problems (other than data latency which was easily fixed). The phone still has not crashed once, whereas in a week my G2X would have already have crashed several times. The Sensation is not quite as peppy as the G2X but for me that's a small tradeoff for a screen with absolutely no bleed, a phone that does not crash, and sense 3.0 is pretty impressive. Both phones are good phones but I think the Sensation's quality is definitely a step above that of the G2X.

I received my G2x yesterday. Coming up on 24hrs. Spent 3 days with the Sensation and was a previous Nexus One user.
I will NOT be going back to the Sensation.
The G2x feels better, is faster and smoother.
From 5 years of using HTC phones, they are not immune to the problems people see with every other phone. They hang, freeze, reboot and bleed just like others. HTC is just as unresponsive to customers as LG or Samsung or Motorola is.
After owning many different phones...android and Windows Mobile alike, I've developed a theory. Put the phone of your choice in your hands. How does it work. If it works great...keep it. If not, lose it. We've seen from all the forums, that some people get lemons, some do not. The lemon owners are louder that those whose devices are fine.
But if you buy on spec....beware. Each phone you buy is subject to all the issues any phone may have.
I received mine yesterday. the manufacture date is 5/14. Maybe they corrected the problems that plagued earlier devices. Maybe not. Maybe I'm just lucky. Or maybe I'm just lying. But I've reviewed several phones in the past 3 weeks....read that as....had the phone in my hand and put it through the courses...alodar's courses. Some left the store for an overnight test. Only 3 did...the Droid x2, the Sensation and the G2x. Only the G2x remains.
Maybe I got a good one....if the sensation is for you....then I hope you get a good one.

Would you seriously consider a Dell?? They are on a losing streak right now and with ****ty serious to boot. The Dell Venue Pro, the last 2 Streaks are riden with issues. The android Dell Venue just received a less than stellar review by cnet I believe.

Looks like with Razr, Nexus, and Rezound coming out its bound to cut down traffic in the Thunderbolt forum.

well, verizon did grant me an early upgrade....
i already decided 'hell no' on the RAZR....

basically though, i am going to wait until both phones are here & see how things go with them first. so i might end up staying with the ol' TB a bit longer.
I'm stuck between the razr and nexus. I gotta sell my tbolt first otherwise I'm sticking with it

I wont leave until my one year upgrade is up. And I may wait further if something really good is coming out soon.
gonna wait for quad-core phones, they are round the corner anyways
Hopefully they start to show up sometime in Q1 2012.
until then I keep my TB
Agreed. Dual core is only an incremental upgrade. I've compared my TBolt to an S2 and its not too different. I'm not even overclocked.
As long as CM9 is supported here, I'm not jumping anytime soon.

I'm with you man, very solid device and with MIUI available now I see no need to upgrade. A lot of developers are creating some amazing work for the bolt! New nexus is cool and I had the first one and loved it but I'm waiting too.
My wife is upgrading this month either the Razr or the Rezound. I am due for an upgrade in January. I am definately waiting to see the Nexus first. If it is $500, definately selling TB to buy Nexus off contract, just to save upgrade to quad core, which I think won't happen until the summer of 2012.

whenever quad-core is released, I have a feeling its going to be one of those last minute "surprise!.. we're releasing it next week!" sort of deal.
as for the TB, I've got someone offering me $300 for it(although with 9 cases & 5 batteries)... that's why I'm considering an upgrade(+ I have an upgrade available right now).
well I got my thunderbolt end of march so I got awhile. still very satisfied with my thunderbolt.
There's really no need to. I just got my TB in June and I'm very happy with it. Plus as other people have said I also won't be thinking of an upgrade until the quadcores come out. Hopefully a new quadcore HTC device will release soon because honestly I'm not feeling the Rezound at all. I think its rather ugly

its funny that you mrntion that... when I was looking at the Thunderbolt originally I remember the salesman saying "how can you go wrong with this kickstand" and demonstrating it for me. I raised my eyebrow and said "sold!"
Yeah, I will have to try to locate a non crappy "kickstand case" for any future phones....I use that thing constantly. Funny that it's about the one unique feature the tbolt has left in the verizon lineup, heh.
Ordered the Rezound today. Won't be home tomorrow so it will be here Wed.

Yeah I dont understand how a kickstand isnt already standard on every phone now developed. At least every new HTC phone. I use it every single day watching netflix vids on my lunch break.
I really want a nexus just for the increased screen space and AMOLED screen. I'm growing tired of the poor battery life with the TB and the thickness of it. But unless I can find a convenient way to prop up the nexus, or to get a reasonable sale on my TB, looks like she'll be with me for quite some time.

Tmonews is reporting the ICS updates in the near future. The only devices mentioned are GS2, Amaze, and Sensation. I was pretty sure we weren't getting it before but now I am almost positive that we are not. Perhaps if the O2x gets it then we can port it over.
I am waiting to see when will the Galxy Note or Galaxy S3 come to T-mobile. If the date is too far away(We are always that last to get anything) then I am getting a $399 Galaxy Nexus.

Yeah I agree. We aren't gonna see an official ICS update. This phone caused way too many problems for T-mobile/LG. If we were to get an update it should've been before the update for the SGS2 since the G2x came out before that phone.

Although, from that site that you posted look at the very left of the picture. It says G2x with the letters "ch" at the end of a word below it. Maybe there is some hope after all!
More like
Gingerbread Patch
Or it could have been an update for the mytouch line.

Just wait it see guys. So many of these similar threads are being made, it's just a waste of time right now.
Just enjoy GB. TMO released a good GB ROM and CM7 is still pretty awesome for this phone. If ICS comes then cool, if not then just be content or move on to something else.
Look at the picture in the link from the OP
On the left hand side, it says G2X in red font. Below it you can make out the letters "ch" at the end of the word. So maybe that means that the G2X Ice Cream SandwiCH update is overdue????

hahahaahhaha. Agreed. And for the people so upset about not having ICS, I got some news. This site is loaded with ICS roms. Download, Flash, and enjoy.
We really don't need the Rom.
We really need the driver.

And here's some news for you:
Official ICS =/= third party ICS
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
Ok, so since everyone wants to sit here and bash. Lets me burst everyones "official ICS" dreams. Its not gonna happen. It'll most likely never happen. How do I know this? I sell phones. If T-mobile had plans for it, why would they move forward in production of newer model phones? Oh, and the reason HTC sensation is getting it is because they make money on it. The G2x is falling behind in the market where everyone wants the Galaxy series (say hello to the galaxy blaze and the soon GS3) or HTC. If no one's been paying attention(and I doubt anyone does) HTC, G series, Samsung, and apple are the sellers. Not Lg, not pantect, not any company thats been a waste of funds for the last 2 decades of cell phones. But again, you know, ROMS aren't official, but they're only thing your G2x will get ICS with. So, yeah. Go cry in a corner now that you know LG hates you.

As long as the O2X gets an official ICS update from LG, then we'll be fine.
Interesting post from the O2X thread, regarding ICS update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426191
Maybe an incompetent LG representative (since the Wind "O2X" is a G2X without the Tmobile logo) or on the contrary.

Not including any neutered roms we might get (no video drivers = half functioning phone), it seems that T-Mobile has finally sounded the death bell on ICS on the G2x...

It wasn't as of January LG said yes, they would. Last month they pushed the update from Q2 to Q3, now they are in fact saying a flat out no ICS for G2x.

Maybe I am missing something, but once the O2X gets ICS, can we not somehow get its video drivers for the G2x?

If the O2x was getting it, so would the G2x as the only difference is the way the internal drives are partitioned. O2x will be cancelled as well, every major hardware manufacturer that has a Tegra 2 Harmony chip has said that those phones will not be getting ICS. You can bet that the O2x will not get it as well.
Confirmed Again No ics for G2x

The thing with all this is that both companies screwed us over. In my case, I bought a high end android device a year ago expecting it to last me the 2 year contract I was signing with a phone company that would also be good. 13 months later, I read that even with a phone, that spec wise is still great, I won't be able to experience what is being offered by android because the manufacturer simply doesn't care anymore and I have to rely on modification and root to get what I paid for in hard earned cash? and to top it all off, T-Mobile begins charging me for tethering that when I signed the contract was listed as a feature that was included. This is why android, phone companies and all the manufacturers are going to ****. As a consumer we have to put up with all this and go through having to pay for new devices that have the latest "version" because the manufacturers don't want to spend time on a device they have already profited from even though it is fully capable of being up to par with most new devices. XDA, Rootzwiki and all the great people of the shared android community make this bearable, yet it is beginning to not be enough that we have to void a warranty in order to be content. I am tired of this and with the G2x being my 8th android device in 5 years of android I am just done with the same story every time.

Realistically, LG can only upgrade the international O2x if they make a small attempt, the G2x has to be tested & "approved" by T-Mobile and they're too lazy to do that (they deceptively make it sound like it's completely dependent on LG). So our best hope is to get the O2x's drivers working for a CM9 or AOKP build for the G2x.
I really am iffy about switching to the new 21y update. Should i dive? Or is it a stupid update?
Please LG release ics, your our only hope!

If you use GPS go for it then use CM7.2 RC3.
Though if you're fine and don't have any problems like me, stick with what you got.
