Hi I just bought a G2x (returned my sensation due to dust under the screen issue). It currently has 2.2 on it but when I try to update it, the phone can't connect to the server. Anybody else have this problem?
Also, I was thinking of rooting it and putting CM7 on it. Are there any warranty implications in doing so?
- Thanks
I already have the update but normally when I check the software update I get the messege that I have the most up to date version but all day today I'm getting "Connection failed".... guess it's not just me then. =)
I can't help with the warranty question... sorry.
I get the same message, "connection failed "

Everyone let us know how it went for you.
Did it install correctly?
Is your GPS performance any better?
How do you like the other features of the update?
Does your media scan actually run faster?

I had to do the date forward trick to get it to download. It downloaded and installed 100% successful. My phone is stock as the day I bought it. Some people say they have seen "failed" install from being rooted, but it still installs.
Testing, and will report back.

Can you tell me how you did this?
Yeah, I got the failed update and now it won't power on at all.
If anyone knows what to do please let me know.

Just set your calendar one day ahead.
I just want to know how this update would effect a rooted phone.... i am currently running SRE 1.3.1c
It seems like anyone with a rooted phone might get an error, but it still installs fine. First impressions is actually really good. The phone feels a little faster. The videos are smoother and so is the gallery. When I opened maps it found my location instantly instead of getting the %waiting for location" message. Accuracy was 1000 meters, but I didn't turn on the GPS.
Also the signal strength and internet speed seems much faster. And stronger for me

Just updated mine. Gps is a lot faster! I can even get a lock when indoors now.
I can no longer access the gps menu through the dialer though.

The OTA update now allows me to go into the three button recovery mode. I couldn't do this before.
Does anyone know if we have an unlocked Captivate on another carrier, will be be getting the update? If not, how does one go about getting it?
Installed fine on my rooted phone gps seems snappy but I can't really test right now. Media scan still taking a while but the phone is less laggy while it's running.
So far so good considering I was ready to ditch this phone yesterday. Temporary rage reduction for me.

Downloading now....
Dropped connection during d/l now I cant get it to d/l at all even after a rommanger restore.
I manually checked for a software update on my rooted Captivate, and after downloading and rebooting, I got a message saying the update was not installed.
Mine isn't even showing an update available. I've set the date forward to tomorrow, the 24th, the 25th, 26th, 27th, none show an update available...grrrr...
Any link to the software other than OTA?
Update not installed but baseband version changed to JH7.
I don't notice any difference on a factory-software phone. GPS still does not work indoors at all. I'll try in my vehicle later.

Same here, on the white screen after installing the update it got to 50% and failed. Check my firmware still says jf6 with 2.6.29 [email protected] #2 kernel
I just went to download it on my sister's phone since hers is still factory stock, unrooted, etc...
Nothing at all. Didn't even download the update. Now I can't check for another 24 hours.
anyone else get the text or is ATT just trying to push jh7 to me?

It's JH7. They have no idea what version you are on.
I've got a couple messages from them about an update...then i think it tries and just comes up as "unable to connect to server" everytime.
Are we sure its JH7? I received the OTA JH7 over 2 weeks ago. Unless they are resending it due to so many failed updates?
I got it, too. I'm on Cognition 2.1.

Yes, it's JH7. They are doing a slow roll out with the SMS message. They have no idea that you might have already updated.
Hi Fellows, when I installed the OTA I lost the "HAC" feature which didn't work in the original software and was supposed to have been fixed in this update. I talked to HTC support and they asked me if I knew of anyone else loosing the "HAC" when they did the update. I told them I didn't know but I would ask.
Can anyone that has installed this update look in "Settings" under "Call" and see if you have "Hearing Aids" with the letters "HAC" in small print underneath it.
HTC thinks that there might be a glitch in the update, especially if others have lost the "HAC" to.
Thanks for your time.

It is not listed on mine either.
Thanks Joe, if one or two more have lost it besides me, HTC said they would have to revisit the update, as there must be somekind of glitch in it.
capman231
I don't see it either
I do not have this setting either.
Neither do I.

Thanks Fellows, I think HTC thought I screwed up the update but this many people with the same problem puts it back in HTC's court.

Hi Fellows, thanks for posting about the HAC going away. HTC has asked me to send the six numbers listed on the software information page after doing the update and I have already re-installed my original (Ingersol 2.4) software back on the phone, Can some one that has a stock phone with the update give me those six numbers please.
Thanks for your time.

When the phone first came out, the Software Update Check (Settings>Software update>Software update check) returned an error. Now it says "Current version is the latest version." Hopefully that's in preparation for an OTA push of the Gingerbread update. It can't get here soon enough.
Few hours ago i checked it now it was giving me authorization errors and time outs.
now i see it says latest update which means they are closing up on the gingerbread update i hope "Ice Cream" is available soon after that. - Side note: it was noted that Honey Comb was like Windows Vista (bug wise etc, which means "Ice Cream" is the Windows 7 of Android!
I don't know if it's possible, but it would behoove T-Mo/LG to get a bug fixing update out in the wild before most early adopters 14 remorse windows are up. I know some of you bought on launch day, but some of us waited. I myself have until a week from today.
Incidentally, I'm pretty sure what we really want on our G2xs is Android 2.3.4, still called Gingerbread. Honeycomb is for tablets.
I'm willing to bet its a problem for the minority of owners of this phone. The bugs that is

Are you out of your mind? Look at the percentage of threads on the first page. 3/4 are devoted to problems. Here's a quick recap:
1) Screen bleeding
2) Wi-Fi either not connecting, dropping connections, or disabling profiles
3) Bluetooth not retaining profiles, not reconnecting, or not holding a connection
4) Reboots which LG acknowledged as a s/w problem after months of O2X complaints
5) "System checking..." forcing a hard reset at boot up
6) T-Mobile apps opening a 4G connection when Wi-Fi's enabled
We're all on the same ROM and radio and the majority of this stuff isn't hardware. So the "minority" to me are people who haven't really tried to use the functions above heavily and don't know they have problems.
I'm not having any issues with my phone. Battery life could be better but I use it a lot.

FYI LG is in charge of the software update not Tmobile. I recieved an email from an LG service rep and it said "As far as I know, our technicians are under review for the 2.3 Android version." This was said on a support email I had sent to LG. My G2x seems struggle to keep a good connection, especially in my home. I keep losing the signal and it disconnects. Tmobile said they were going to check my area to see if there are issues. If nothing gets better by the 9th of this month I'm returning mine before my 14 days are gone.
im getting force closes when trying to open the software update menu now. guess ill be flashing it whenever it comes instead of getting it ota -_-
You sir are right. I just checked and it now says current version is latest. Progress.

Has anyone in Arizona received the GB OTA update yet? I used the LG tool, but my wife's has still not updated. Same goes for a few friends with the G2x.
Yes i live in phoenix and i got the OTA GB update on 7/27/2011
I did a manual check for updates and i got it.
not even sure if they are still rolling them out, cause of all the complaints and issues still. do this *#*#2432546#*#* that will check you in for the update, and you can go see if it's starting to download or not through the settings.
Thanks guys I'll try that.
EDIT: ok it checked me in, but I didn't notice anything else (although it told me that I had some apps that needed to be updated). Where do I find out in settings if it is downloading? I went to the about phone >software update and it is giving me the conection failed message. I used to get "upto date already".
Are you on a good connection or wifi? Can't remember if wifi messes with it or not haven't done an ota update since the g1... try on 4g no wifi.

I have tried both, but mainly 4g.
