TOUCHE, good move!!
I would never go back
i bought a perfect condition 3GS from a guy that bought the iPhone 4 the day it came out for 150 bucks and couldnt pass up that deal. Was using the Epix before that. The iPhone was a nice upgrade but I have never been an Apple fanboy. So it's newness wore off and I been wanting to go Android for a while but we all know ATT Android selection sucks. I was holding out because i thought they may have something i want by this time. I do want the Infuse, but i see that isnt going to be out till maybe May or June, so when this opportunity came up, i jumped on it. I already got my feet wet by playing with mods on my gf's HTC Hero, so once i get it, I am ready to rock n roll.
on another thought, i have been looking at the Serendipity and Cognition ROM, anybody who has tried them both? any thoughts on which one you like more and why? any input is greatly appreciated.
i went from an iphone 2g to the captivate. the hardware jump is unbelievable, but at least my iphone worked liked apple said it would :/.

haven't tried serendipity. Cog is a great rom... but i keep going back to andromeda... by far the best rom out there right now imo.
phoenix is fantastic too.
I guess I'm samsung's ***** for 1.5 more years. Better than being apple's.

I have only flashed a rom twice now, and it was Cognition both times, (2.3B6 first time and most recently 3.04) I can tell you that Cog 3.04 is amazing! Its based on the Official Froyo release from Rogers (canadian carrier) but has been "americanized" and it's quite fast and very smooth. In case you haven't seen these, I followed the 3 part video tutorials for flashing your rom, from user "connexion2005". He is very detailed and really takes the time to walk you through the process. The links are,

Good luck, have a blast!
I am running Paragon and it runs great. I tried Cognition, but had to change the font back to stock and didn't like that it was missing Bluetooth voice dialing.
Last week I traded an iPhone 4 for a captivate. I got way tired of playing the little games trying to keep the jailbreak everytime a new update came out. I just did the phoenix ROM and it is pretty good.
Cognition is good if u want to stick with what samsung gave us to use.....all the garbage is remove for performance reasons....I've been using serendipity since it started and its my favorite.....its the closest thing to a stock android rom..... I like the color scheme and the fact that there's hardly any traces of touchwhiz. I alway put together my own custom parts though which is what's great about android...Im using hardcores kernel and the jk3 modem.....changed the battery icon ect....

of coarse it is. probably around christmas. halloween if we are really lucky. he sgs2 comes out at the end of the month according to my local reps. the gb update will likely follow that by a few weeks. that's my prediction.
yea it sucks the update is pushed back so far but no chance they will do anything to mess with the sgs2 release
I don't recall anyone saying they canceled it. Useless thread is useless.

I am one who appreciates the thread and talk of the Infuse GB update. I had expected the GB update in Aug. like all of the other 2011 phones received. I returned my Infuse for refund due to the GB update not coming through. And I loved my Infuse. It was buggy as hell, but was a superior phone in every other way...especially music playing. As soon as the update happens...if it happens...I might just get another Infuse.
I think the Infuse will turn out to be the better phone between it and the SGS2. The screen is larger, the battery is larger and the other specs are pretty much the same. The SGS2 has NFC. But I can live without that. I see no use in a dual core. Both phones have a FFC.
GB yeah right
When I got my captivate last year(first day of release) I waited for the froyo update for ever. It was supposed to come out in Sept. but got delayed until halloween or X-mas. I had already switched to Andromeda(prob best Cappy rom ever). I lost my cappy and got an Infuse with the insurance. So far a much better phone, but I dought that we'll get an update anytime soon. Samsung is not very good with updates and at&t well they are probabably just as bad. Actually more like Apple.
Now Asus has been great with updating the Transformer.
Anyway would love to see GB but meanwhile gotten find a rom that I like.

Samsung has already built gingerbread for the Infuse, hence the Rogers base roms we're enjoying currently. The fault lies fully with AT&T, not Samsung...

Ok guys let's not play this same old tune. With some research one can find that both ATT and Samsung suck at giving updates mainly when a New phone is coming out. So all one can do is sit back and wait or flash a custom Rom.

Its useless because everyone knows the infuse will get updated to GB. And no one knows when that will be. No new news has been released since it was announced; nothing has changed. I have to look at the thread because you posted it and now its on the list of threads cluttering up this forum. That's why its useless. you haven't stated anything we don't already know

hey guys although i havent find nothing online that said so but a seen a few people talking about it in threats and even a tmobile sales men told me that there suppost to be a another ota for the g2x. some people thinks its gonna be 2.3.4 and have the LG Camera in it?
im just wanted to pass this along
and i will appreciate no hateful comments against LG/Tmobile.
we have this phone and we just go from there
Well, we're getting ICS either way thanks to Cyanogen... But it would be nice if LG and T-Mobile still showed some love for our phones!
I kind of doubt we will see another OTA update anytime soon but if we do great.
T mobile is all about the Sensation and Galaxy S 2, and LG has had enough if this fiasco of a phone. Cyanogen is the only hope of this ever getting another update, of any flavor.

i guess you guys are right!! i just cant understand when tmobile gave my friend from tmobile tech support a g2x with gingebread for test when the g2x came out!
it was 2.3.4 and their ota its 2.3.3 i talked to my friend today to see if he heard anything of another ota for the g2x. he said no he hasnt heard anything and pretty much they have forgotten or given up with the g2x.
my opinion on this is if this phone isnt going to be that much of a deal to companies. well i thing NVIDIA should release their drivers to the devs!!!
and another thing this is suppost to be a GOOGLE phone! why google aint doing nothing!

maybe i should google that too.
The guy makes good points and is upset he threw his money away you have to add to that by being a jerk?
If the "OTA" is going to be 2.3.4, it's going to be outdated. We've been on 2.3.5<-- for almost 2 months now. (Well, with CM7, EB, Faux123, MIUI, etc.)
well that would be nice to see 2.3.4 at least.. maybe they can make the damn 4g icon and signal bars green like gingerbread is suppose to be. then give us the lg cam back then hopefully give us gtalk with video chat.. since skype hates tegra 2's and wont support are phones.. i shouldnt have to root my phone to get things that should just work with a stock rom.

Correct, it's just with google on the back of the phone like the G2. Only Google phones made are the nexus line.
Hell will freeze over before this phone gets another official update. If you wont root and update it yourself but are savvy enough to use xda you have no one to blame but yourself.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
The difference is that the devices in the Google Nexus line have their roms developed by Google engineers. Other devices must rely on the respective manufacturer to update them. On the Nexus line Google also pushes out the OTA themselves and never takes them down like T-Mobile did for the G2X. That was lame. Why not keep the OTA on your servers forever like Google does. Plus Google lets anyone get the OTA on any carrier. TMO limited it to people connected to their network (not even MVNOs) only. Since Google does their testing of new versions of Android on their own Nexus line, new roms get pushed out pretty darn fast. Soon, alas, they are going to declare the venerable Nexus One end of life (EOL) and stop providing roms for it. It might get ICS but we'll have to wait and see.
But the G2X is a great phone and the differences between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 are so minimal there is nothing really to be upset about. No O2X worldwide has even gotten any official versions of GB yet, so you can be thankful, for once, that the US is a litigious society and the class action forced LG to release GB before they planned to. But now that they did, any future versions are questionable. LG doesn't have a good record of updating phones very often or very quickly.
i almost got to the point where i was gonna trade my g2x for a nexus s just because its a google phone and i know it will always be updated fast. but its hard to down grade from the g2xs nice specs

I'd much rather keep my G2X, even if it was still on 2.2, rather than trade for a Nexus S. Keep your G2X.

I don't know if he is or not. Most people on Android Central aren't the brightest. It might be legit. but i find it highly odd because t-mobile or HTC (IIRC) have yet to confirm it for our phones.
Football would have sent it our way by now, I think.
It was probably the same thing my brother tripped on on his mt4g. The my account app updated and was now compatible with ics, so a message popped up on the screen. At a glance he thought he was getting ics update on his mt4g. So he went nuts for a sec, but then realized it was just for the app.
Definitely misinterpreted the message. Sounds like his wife is not informed.

It was most likely the most recent update and she just now got it. For how long it took us to get gingerbread and how old the phone now is. I highly highly doubt T-Mobile will put ics on it.

having one crappy phone from a manufacturer doesn't really affect the quality of other phones at all. the galaxy s II is one of the best phones of the past year. the galaxy nexus is also by samsung, and is also one of the best phones around at the moment. what you should look at is the phone's category, gsII and gnexus are both high end phones, while the sidekick 4g is an entry-level device.
true. galaxy s2 and galaxy nexus were the best. probably still the best right now. but g2x is a good phone. you will have fun with it. once u get it, if it asks for a ota update, dont do it yet. there are no roms for it as of now.

its the update that LG sends out. when you get the phone, you should check your BaseBand. if its March 2012, then stay on the rom ur on. u can flash other roms, but the calling will be f'ed up
The t-mobiel rom is very stable and very good, there is no need to use modded rom, none of the modes hold a candle to this update because of the firmware, driver and baseband upgrades in this rom. I am sure mods off this stock rom will come out soon and CNG will release their updates in the next couple of months however the stock rom is the best fully functional rom thats out right now only because LG fixed fundamental firmware and driver issues this round.
