My good friend who is a tmo regional manager says g2x is being dropped. Or rather, stores are selling through their stock and are not going to be replenished. Not good news.

haha best response ever to these ridiculous threads.
Did he advise to get a different phone in that case?
Do you own a G2x?
I believe the stores are selling through their stock and they aren't getting replenished...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................until the Gingerbread update is released and they start selling those.

Haha, I knew everyone would freak out. I have no proof, but I have been friends with him for years and completely trust him. I do own/use a g2x and have been overall happy with it. Just passing along info....calm down.

They are just cleaning up their stock of old phones before the new ones come out. Online sold out first, now they are clearing out the stores.
There would have been an official announcement if they were discontinued AND they wouldn't keep selling them. If they were discontinued the would cease ALL sales and return them all to LG. Plus they would have to exchange those who purchased the G2x with another phone.
Not if they had already purchased a large batch from lg. They likely decided that the phone wasn't worth the trouble with the sensation out. So just sell off what they had left.

Right... because then they don't have to deal with the angry g2x customers after right? I'd be furious along many other g2x customers if I heard the g2x got discontinued... pretty sure your wrong on this one.
I be really mad, I like this phone alot even with the few problems it has.

Most likely correct.....I love it when inventory management suddenly becomes a messenger of deep meanings.
2.3 is close....you can just feel that they are being very very careful to not need to do another quick release. Its just raw android.....so they are doing tons and tons of testing on the thing
Lol. Who would believe such a crazy thing. Haha.

Think about it people. The phone hasn't been avail for some time now. The update is way overdue. I am sure they are realizing that they can't fix the pos! Don't get me wrong I loved the phone the small amount of time it worked. I think it was a great idea that failed! Question is what is tmobile going to do for all its customers? They offered a upgrade to the sensation for 50 bucks, I took it and ran. I gave then an ear full when they tried to offer me the mytouch.

Many here claim they have the "secret" information.
Lets make a gentleman's wager. If he is right and it is discontinued, you can design my sig and if he is wrong I can design yours. The sig will have to stay for 6 months. Deal?

I have Gingerbread on my G2X ... its of the CM flavor, but i think I'll prefer that over LG's version anyway.
Just asking... please don't flame
Loved Gtg's work but noticed he has taken down all his ROMs because of some Network Issues in his latest ROM. He said a couple of days but it's been 6 days now I guess.
As such there is hardly anyone working on Infuse... and that is so sad . Now even if Gtg stops working on it, I might as well get rid of this phone!!
So anyone knows if Gtg is coming back? Or is the Infuse is dead even before it properly took off here
He hasn't left, to my knowledge. He's working on a couple of things right now. He'll be back in full force in the near future.
Development for the Infuse is by no means dead. LunuxBozo is currently working on bringing CM7 to the Infuse and has made what I consider tremendous progress.
What I thought was, I'd become one of those deaf-mutes; or should I?
I would love to flame but since you asked nicely.. What do you mean he has removed his ROMs? Infused is still up and hasn't really had any major problems...
I meant the GB ROMs. Froyo were great and I have no problems with his GB latest ROMs as well, but I am no one to comment on Network data rate issues that others are having as I never get that high data rates in my area anyway
Not blaming Gtg at all.. he is awesome, but just curious to know if Infuse support will ever reach something like that for GalaxyS. Just love this phone ...
With the GB update looming, it may be fair to say that infused, as it sits, may be dead. Why continue development on the Rogers base when he can scratch it and wait for easy street with ATT update?

Froyo Infused was never pulled, it's still there.
As to gtg - I'm assuming he'll be back. He's probably burned out (I don't blame him) and needs a break. I would too. Since Rogers dropped GB we've been spending a liiiitle too much time at our keyboards...
Just hold on. Things will come eventually
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA Premium App
i feel few people own infuse that's why we have so few custom roms whereas htc models and samsung galaxy are owned by way too many people and due to their popularity more devs came up with their edition.
as far as gtg is concerned froyo links are there and one link of infused is still there if one goes through infused rom.
i am just waiting for att gb update and then hope that we will have more custom roms and new version by our gtg

Long story short: I am on my third Infuse with constant dropped calls. ATT has now offered to replace my phone.
Any thoughts on what to get. I think my options are:
Atrix 2
LG Nitro
Captivate slide (really miss the physical keyboard)
Skyrocket
S2
The Nitro and Skyrocket seem to have some pretty stellar reviews.
I think the Atrix still has a locked bootloader.
The Slide has the keyboard I have been missing since I got the Infuse.
And the S2 has a smaller screen
Any thoughts on any of these phones?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Definately Skyrocket
Captive slide feels cheaply made its very light even with the battery in
E3D
Sg2

Atrix is a Motorola - enough said
****rocket has all sorts of weird bugs - awful battery life, apparently data rarely works. AT&T's user support forums are full of people with issues.
Glide is oddball hardware - Tegra2 is a pretty poor processor, Heimdall won't talk to it, don't expect much developer love for this device

From what I've read, all Samsung devices using the Qualcomm chip instead of the Exynos have screen tuning issues. Either way, I would take an Infuse first and the SGS2 second.
wow, no one is giving any love to the nitro. the more reviews I read, the more I am liking it. anyone care to elaborate on the reasons for the s2 or rocket instead of the nitro? reviewing the specs, the nitro seems just as tricked out as the others and even better speced on several fronts. not trying to start a war, just trying to figure out how to best take advantage of att's "generosity".

I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the network where you are - does it always drop in the same place?
No one else has had the problems you have had, and for it to happen with three devices says "network" to me.
I never had a problem with dropped anything while driving - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0011GI94Q means it's extremely rare to ever have less than 3-4 bars anywhere when behind the wheel.
(I live in the boonies - I often go through areas where no phone ever has coverage, but with the Wilson I'll still usually have 3-4 bars in those places. It has more than exceeded my expectations.)
To do this just like infuse 4g?? I am on infuse 4g. Was thinking about get skyrocket.

Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
I came from an Infuse and felt fairly at home on the Skyrocket.
My impression from reading forums is that more people have screwed up this phone than the Infuse because there are so many phones with the Galaxy S II name and people try to mix and match ROMs. Just be careful of that and you should be fine.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Its because people do not read. Obviously there different devices. And common sense says dont flash anything from a different device. Mabye it will break mine. Or mabye i should read and find out if you can on certain devices. But nope nope nope. People dont read and apparantly have very little common sense. So they just flash wrong roms/kernels. Then complain about how its a developers fault or odins fault there brickd.
So bottom line is. Always know what your flashing before attempting to flash anything. Even themes
Yes I noticed people screwed up. Wrong roms. Good thing it can be fixed by return to stock.

Actually alot of times ot can not be fixed
I have a question..?? Can the skyrocket be unlock for any GSM Carrier just like the Samsung Infuse by using either an app or editor?
No the apps dont work. You gota pay a website like cellunlocker for the code
on t mobile with the one s any issues I should be aware of? should I get something else?
I'm loving mine. 4.3" is the perfect size screen for, and It's very fast.

On some tests i see that Tmobile One S has inferior battery life than the international one.
That's due to the bloatware they put on it. Rooting fixes that though.

No disrespect--just curious
Why would you be "new to the One S" and now asking if you should get something else and wondering about issues. If you mean you don't have it yet then there are many threads and posts on the forum already. And as far as I can say, it is perfect if you are OK with no SD Card and 9.3gb available internal memory--I am. Some complain on Multitasking--I have no issues. Although, all that is individual needs and opinions--and is covered extensively in various threads--
Highly recommend starting to read the General and Q&A sections for a wealth of info--
Whatever your currrent status is with the phone--enjoy it if you got it--and you will enjoy it, if you buy it--

I love the phone only thing I've noticed is multitasking, and signal. With regards to multitasking what happens is let's say you're web browsing or playing a game whatever then you do something else like check xda app. When you go back a lot of times instead of those apps continuing where they left off from it has to start up back again. It actually does it for xda app also. With the signal cell tower signal I just get a lot of fluctuations between bars dropping and coming back.

I flashed Trickdroid and Axiom S and wifi calling still not usable. I have turrible reception in parts of my house.
I wonder if the crappy wifi calling quality has its root in an buggy radio, if another ROM is also suffering from it? Anyhow, that is really the only "defect" I can find with this model. Otherwise, it's good! I wish it would have a removable SD card, but I recall reading somewhere in the forums that it is possible to mount external drives and such on this phone, but you need a USB Y cable (since the phone can't power the external device), or at least that's what I remember. One might also need a ROM to use the phone as a USB host. The possibility to do this makes me a little less upset over having just 16 GB of memory (or on TMob US only 10GB because of all the junk it comes with).
GS3 FTW!
Earlier today I received a notification that said I needed to get a newer sim for WiFi calling. I'll stop by the T-Mobile store tomorrow(today).
