Hey Now! Finally upgraded again-- Holy Captivate batman

Started with HTC .. my kid just got his first (smart?)phone, my original TILT. haha thing is still working perfectly. After the tilt i really stepped up in the world with a FUZE, wow that thing worked great (but will only take being thrown across a room about 5x by my calculations.
Got my Captivate yesterday, WOW.
Like going from two cans with a string (well it is At&t afterall) to......
Help me describe the experience im at a loss.
Ok time to put more HD vids on the phone...
BRAVO to samsung for providing the user WITH useable storage too! nice to have 13 gigs to play with... HTC may have lost a customer for reals with this phone in my hand. (i lasted 1 years w/ the fuze, i may never flash this one - have to see how sluggish it gets as i fill it up)
Looking forward to helping out w/ testing and **** again around here.
wooooooooooot

Hey now! I enjoy my Captivate just as much as him. Just because AT&T is about as reliable as Virgin Mobile's service in terms of providing upgrades doesn't make this any less of an amazing phone. Out of all the phones that XDA has developed for (That I've owned), this one certainly takes the cake for the most developed. I hope you enjoy your captivate! And if something goes wrong, USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. >

pure speculation to which i speculate you will be proven wrong...
i speculate the push to 2.2 starts sometime in the 1.5-2 weeks after the mobile ap app becomes available on the 13th

Overall it is a good phone.
A few aggravating quirks, but hey, I have yet to see anything perfect
Congrats on your new addition

Glad you like it man. Great phone; just go and get a custom launcher (I have about 6 of them lol) and have at it; if you don't like TouchWiz anyway.
But yea, if you ever get bored of the phone you should definitely install a custom rom on the phone; makes it that much better.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon

I actually used stock for about 4 months or so. Partly was because I was unaware about custom roms, and when I found out about then I was hesitant to flash just because I never done it before. I'm pretty technological, built my own computers, overclocked and ect, but flashing was new territory.
That said, I am absolutely stunned with my phone now. I didn't think it was sluggish before, but now I can't believe I edited that long. I really wish I took a video of my phone at stock and then flashed. Incredible.
Basically, any lag or slight slow down your captivate will experience will disappear with a new rom.
Samsung Captivate
Firefly 2.0.5
SpeedMod Q Big Mem
JK4 Modem

The more apps you have, the more you do, the more it starts to chug.
Big time.
My brother got one (and has since returned it), but after three weeks, that thing was unusable.

It gets pretty sluggish after you have a few apps on it. I would definitely recommend flashing it because the stock just sucks...
Samsung Captivate
Paragon.RC5

Definetly recommend flashing it. Do your research first, but you will really know see the difference and come to the realization that most do...should have done this sooner.

Glad you are loving your new Captivate. GPS aside, I think hardware wise it is a fantastic phone, but only realized this after flashing ROMs developed by the guys here at XDA. The corporate/tech support behind the Captivate is what most of us gripe about. Flash away and donate, as you will surely be pleased with what you find. Good work deserves reward.

200 app an counting no lag here at all. Do the lag fix preferably ext4 voodoo.

I love the phone and have had it since August. No regrets minus the fact that AT&T are being...donkeys. Running Paragon ROM right now, stable as hell.

Yeah bro good phone. And rooting it to remove bloat made it even better. My girlfriend is jealous of it and she has a Droid2

haha reading this made me LOL. i was the same way. super happy with the phone when i got it. a week later, got frustrated with GPS not working. another week later, rooted phone to get rid of all the ATT crap that kept popping up. Then i decided to hang in there. 3 months and i wanted to throw the phone in a lake.
then i flashed w/ serendipity w/ speedmod and damn it was awesome! shows what the phone really can do. too bad samsung couldnt figure it out.

HaHa
better keep that can and string around. when the frustration sets in you'll need it

ICS on G2x

It seems like we might have a chance of getting it. Engadget has a post up saying all 2.3 devices after.the nexus s should get ICS being that the nexus s is getting it....and we technically have a stock build of android. So I'm keeping my hopes up that we still have a chance of getting it.....what are your thoughts?

I think if people show some positive encouragement to LG to work with and for purchasers of the p999 rather than the immature hostility that permeates several of the threads at the LG forum an update should happen. It is still and active model in tmos system.

I was under the impression the G2x runs a stock gingerbread looking skin over LG framework. As in, just looks stock, not actually stock. http://twitter.com/#!/CM_arcee/status/63255644676960256
Seeing how much LG pooped the diaper on the GB update, I wouldn't hold your breath for anything official in the short term.

I thought they are suppose to support the android phones software upto date in period of 18months after they releas3 it? If the phone hardware can support it? Well thats what google said. I don't think lg have choice.

But the rain came back and the birds stopped singing soon after the Google I/O Day One keynote. Barra’s comments set off a wave of excitement, but only because people misunderstood his words. Google is not forcing carriers or manufacturers to update their phones; it’s simply working with them to make updates faster and more likely.

I would say a G2x ICS update is totally a possibility, I just wouldnt expect LG to drop it anytime soon. Seeing how long it took LG to release GB, if the G2x does get an official update I doubt it would be before next summer.

True,.but I'm hoping some kind of news gets released saying the g2x.will get it

I don't care what operating system version my G2x is running as long as the radios and/or drivers that control them just don't work.
I've had 4 G2Xes, on 2.2 and 2.3, with multiple sim cards and used them in many areas of the US. They simply do no stay connected to the network. I have to reboot them manually several times a day to maintain connectivity/functionality. The Android part works fine especially since the GB update, but the phone part, and even the WiFi and GPS parts just are flaky as hell. If they don't fix that, putting ICS on this phone will not be any better an experience.
And I'd bet $100 LG never updates this phone again. They are SO washing their hands of it, it's a disaster they don't want to "waste" any more time and money on even if that means screwing thousands of customers. The users know it, LG knows it, T-mobile knows it, but they are not admitting it, because responsibly dealing with this disaster would cost them a fortune. For T-mobile/LG to fix this problem they'd have to send every G2X owner a different model phone that isn't fundamentally flawed.

I wouldn't count on it.

My G2x was also a POS I got it (like a fool) the day it came out, and when i first got it it sucked so bad after the second day i had it it went back in the box and sat on the closet shelf and I went back to my Nokia N8 but a month or so ago i got it out and just for the hell i played around with some ROMs and have been running Weapon G2x 2.4 without a single flaw or hiccup since.

I have two G2Xes, one with CM7.1 one with stock GB. They both suck at staying connected to the network. Perhaps it's time to try another distro, but I'm pretty convinced the baseband is fundamentally flawed. If I stay in the same place I start to think it's all working, then I drive somewhere and realise how useless this phone is. I wanted to love this phone so much, on paper it's just awesome, perfect for me. In reality it's garbage and I can't wait to be rid of it. I've wasted weeks of my life on this useless thing thinking surely it can be made to work.

I got a G2x early on. Reboots every other day in the beginning, etc.
Now i'm pretty stable, can go more than a week. Just have GPS lock issues.
Rooted, stock GB, using Go Launcher and SetCPU.

I dunno, the G2x is like the black sheep any more. I don't see anything about it. LGs track record thus far doesn't look good in regards to updates. I bet CM team will get something stable on ICS but your looking at months...
Not a big deal. Well probably have themes and apps that could pretty closely replicate ICS while still using GB. On the nexus one, I used a GB theme on Froyo for a while before actually switching. A nice theme and new Widgets will ease the wait.
I run MIUI and Faux 4.3 and have no network issues what so ever.... that's actually what kept me on MIUI for so long... and now I'm addicted. MIUI works fantastic minus wifi calling.

For me MMS doesn't work on MIUI. Only reason I'm not on it.
I agree though, don't think LG will give us the update officially. It's kind of sad that Google is letting it's platforms get so dispersed. I mean both Apple and Microsoft have the updates down-pact.

What ROM are you using? My MMS does not work either, I am on Xboarder's ROM(OTA Tweaked) and whenever I have wifi+2g or wifi+4g I cannot send out an MMS. If I want to send out MMS I have to turn off wifi, switch 2g on, then switch 2g off, then finally stick with 2g or 4g and then TRY to send out the MMS sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

how can you say LG took long to update to Gingerbread. i still have my vibrant and galaxy s 4g and their still have not yet come out with gingerbread on them. imagine that after over a year.
lets see the g2x came out on april 20th
and gingerbread was july 15th
thats 85 days thats 4 months since it released date
i think LG was pretty fast with the update.
comparing to others brands
my g2x never had any problems at all

So what you guys are saying is I should return my G2X? ha I live in Milwaukee, WI and have heard good things about tmobile, why I switched and 4G is stable here. I'm still in my 14 day window and just wondering if anyone thinks I should get a better phone?

Still loving this phone!

I've had this phone for almost six months and I'm still impressed and loving it. Currently running weapon x with and ics theme and there isn't a day that goes by without a doubt that I made the right choice.
This post isn't important by any means but I wanted to share my satisfaction with the G2x.

Ive used those roms plus cm7 and miui. so,sorry to burst your bubble but this phone is the biggest piece of crap hardware I have ever used! I would not recomend it to anyone. I have almost lost my job because of it. I mean how can a phone be charging and use up all the battery life and die. then I have no alarm to wake me up. and whats with this random freezing.playing a game or idle, you have to pull the battery every time. my back cover is not going to last. and the screen bleed issue. thats just lack of quality controll. I got this phone as a replacement for my sgs4g. I cant belive tmobile would even offer this phone as it has caused more headaches than my 9 previous sgs devices.

Sounds more like user error than the fault of the hardware, or you're badly mistreating the phone (9 previous SGS devices?!). Either that or you're extremely unlucky. In my experience every G2x I've ever touched (and I've tested quite a few) works just fine as long as you treat it properly and don't go crazy installing stupid apps that have no business being on anyone's phone.

I would say using your phone as your only alarm clock probably isn't the safest way of making sure you get up, especially if you are installing any custom roms.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

its only 9 because I hated my vibrant and sgs 4g I wanted something better for free. I got the free part... I dont think flashing custom roms has anything to do with these problems since there are others with the same issues on stock roms . custom roms for the vibrant and sgs4g only made things better. hell, I even have an origional galaxy I7500 that runs 2.3.4 gingerbread with no problems.

Is it that bad?

I am interested in potentially owning a G2X and I have been doing research on it.
I hear that it freezes all the time, text don't come through, and it is just a pain.....and then i hear people have no problems with it at all.
Is it really that bad? I don't really care about specs or else i'd get a sensation, amaze or galaxy s2.
It is free right now(Along with the Sidekick 4g...which i was considering getting but i've heard even worse stuff about that one)
But is this phone truly that bad?

It really depends on what you are going to do with it.
If you are planning on rooting it and installing a custom rom, kernel, etc then a lot of those issues will be fixed and the phone will operate very well.
On the other hand if you arent going to root it then it has got some serious problems. The code on this phone is ****, so that potentially leads to a lot of problems. Basically if you are not going to root it, i would not suggest it.
In the end this phone has serious potential and that potential can be unlocked if you root it and add roms, but if not it has too many problems and just isnt worth the hassle.

I've never had a single problem with my g2x. I think most of the issues are in the early production ones.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I had mine for over 5 months before i rooted it and installed CM. The issues were minimal for me and i loved the device. Why did i end up rooting it and putting on a custom rom? Not to fix issues, but to be daring (using the term loosely here), and have fun with my device. I actually liked it so much, I bought a second. What were my issues? Lockups now and again, but it seemed to be heat related (ie when plugged in while driving my car), causing to remove the battery and turn it back on. Never had an issue with texts not coming through.
I also got my original for free...and to me, the random battery pull wasn't a show stopper (my palm running WebOS would lock up too now and again) and was easily overlooked due to the specs and capabilities of the device.
On a side note...I still see a random battery pull with CM installed, so custom roms isnt a fix all for this device either...but i still love it(them). Other roms may address other issues, but I havent tried any others so i cant say from personal experience. I have also played with a Sidekick 4G...negative captain...it drove me crazy.
/2 Cents
[edit]
CM=CyanogenMod
seeing the OP has 3 posts under his belt, I wanted to clarify that CM stands for CyanogenMod, a custom rom. Just on the off chance he is unclear on acronyms around here.
[/edit]

You'll be fine man. Most of those problems occurs in the first batch of G2x' when it first came out. Good luck.

I don't believe that'd true, I had g2x 2 weeks since release. I think people just don't know how to use a phone.

Sent from my PG41200 using xda premium

I will put it this way, if I had the chance to get this phone for free with my past experience with it, is a yes. Would I pay 200$ and re-up on my contract... not a chance in hell. With the SGS II out right I would go for that or an HTC phone. For free this phone is more then good enough though.

Free G2X? Worth it.
Making bad decision's one at a time.

I would say if you get the phone and put Cyanogenmod on it, it's awesome, when I stuck with the stock ROM, it would freeze overnight, now that I have Cyanogenmod I have no problems whatsoever

My g2x is very stable overclocked to 1.6 with morphic's kernel. Cyanogenmod with the Trinity kernel is stable, fast, and very fun.
I paid for mine and it was worth every penny.

If you are getting this phone for free DO IT! In the end the phone works great and plays every game I load up, rooting and adding a custom rom is a must, I find that weapon is a good rom for the average user, the only thing I didnt like was the back cover but thats just me being picky

i think i was one of the lucky ones to get the first of the 2nd batch of the g2x. i did not have any problems with my phone but i rooted it after about a week. I have to say that the custom rooms are buttery smooth. You have so much more flexibility and it just creates for a much much better user experience. The stock was choppy, not as smooth, and was not very customizable. so i would say if you intend to put custom roms on it, this phone is perfect. if you want to keep it stock then i would go for the galaxy s2.

Every phone will have its issues. If its free, sure get it. If u got the dough to spare then go for the s2

the funny thing is i ask myself the same question when i bought mine your answer well i would buy it again i have had no issues im running a quadrant with phoneixblood rom trinity 15 kernal ext 4 at 6120 my battery last all day with moderate use with juice defender i think you would be totally happy with it its so simple to root like 5 minutes several very good roms for phone cyanogenmod eaglesblood phoneixblood miui you wont be dissapointed if you get it and you need help rooting flashing or anything just inbox me on here i gladly help in any way

Coming from someone that still has a release day phone, the only issues the stock phone ever gave me was stone random lockups, like 10 in the 2 months i had it stock. And for me that issue was fixed completely fixed with a flash to cyanogen mod. I'm really happy with this phone, and i honestly would buy it again even with the original $200 price tag.

I had a lot of issues with this phone stock but once i rooted and did all the stuff to it its running fine now.

I got my phone about a month ago. And yes, those lock ups or screen of deaths occurred a couple times in a few days. Rooted it and flashed a different rom/kernel and now it works wonderful. I believe it is the stock kernel that causes the issues.
My friend had this phone before and he hated it because of all the issues. He then went on to get another phone and told me not to waste my time.... It's unfortunate he didn't read up about rooting the device. This phone has awesome specs, and for the price of $100 that I got it for, I wanted to give it a try.

No problems for this phone whatsoever. Its a good phone I'd say.

thanks for the comments, you have made up my mind. upgrading from a optimist t to the g2x in 3 days (when my tax return comes in) already downloaded all the rom's i'm going to flash....

Why did i ever trade?!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678524
well, the mytouch 4g now has a almost completely fully functioning JB ROM and the g2x has a half-assed alpha test (sorry, EB team, not trying to belittle your work). grrrr. bout to go trade for a 4g slide. what really eats me, is that the G2x is a superior phone hardware wise to most phones even now. and definitively better than the mytouch. I feel the g2x community has fallen apart and due to that, there will never be a completely functional well.....anything. we should be all working together to iron out the wrinkles in JB not fighting over who developed what first or who can or cant use what code....I'm sorry, but who gives a flying f*** about the code when nothing since froyo has actually been 100% stable and functional on our devices?
im sorry, im just a bit meeved that i traded now. the reason why is in the specs of our phone:
http://geekaphone.com/compare/T-Mobile-G2x-vs-T-Mobile-myTouch-4G
and the state of our community as G2x owners:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784980
I'm sure i'll be flamed, shunned, and burned for this thread but i really dont care. i like my G2x despite its many downfalls. i want to see it prosper and run JB and other future versions of android.
thanks for reading.

Btw, we have very stable GB roms all over the dev forums. What are you talking about? regarding froyo.

I don't know what to say, for starters, ur a heat fan so u should get flamed just for that . Everything else, no comment

i havent seen a rooted rom (aside stock rom) with everything 100% like BT calling with new baseband for instance. ICS has the same issue plus missing camcorder drivers.

Using the old baseband I have been 100% stable since I first got the g2x... everything works perfectly (aside from slow gps but it still works)
HFP, CM7, and CM7.2 just to name a few have no bugs other than user error which as we all know can't be fixed (because you just can't fix stupid)
I do understand where your coming from however your "facts" are a little skewed.
Good luck with the coding, I hope you will be the next great Dev!
Pin it to Win it.

Even though I don't use my G2X as my main phone anymore, it is my go to device as my tablet device. I know I don't have a tablet, but when I need to read news, stream videos, read emails, do all sorts of things, the G2X is my go to device. Hands down CM7 is solid and stable. I do need to reboot it a couple of times a week but I'm not stressed about it.
I've not updated the BB mainly because of the ROMs needing a special modification, and lose access to all the previous ROMs.
I don't care really. I want to use the ICS ROMs but they have bugs. Again all the hate goes to LG. Devs do best they can with little they do have access to.
I have the Galaxy S2, Amaze, and G2X. Hands down, my go to device is my G2X when I am home and in WiFi range. Its faster and snappier. What a waste LG did. Even display is better than the Amaze. It really pisses me off that HTC went cheap on the Amaze's display.
I use the GS2 now because it's got a stable CM9, and honestly detested the Stock ROM. If G2X had a stable CM9 (Full Support with Drivers and everything) and the GPS issue was reliable, I swear I'd go back to my G2X as my main device.
As for reliability is concerned, GS2 and Amaze hands down. Again, pisses me off LG screwed this phone royally.

yeah. i needs my GPS, thats a game changer for me. im still reading all the stuff that CM suggests before doing anything. baby steps. gonna try and compile a new APK before i take on a ROM.

thats exactly what i was saying. this is the best phone i have ever owned hardware wise. Yes, this is mostly Nvidia & LG's fault, but its still frustrating. my fiancee just got the blaze and its ok. its pretty snappy, but when my G2x is on stock rom, it stomps it... no questions asked. and yeah, the GPS bug is what i was talking abot from pre v21y. also, it is really a pain in the a$$ just to figure out how to downgrade basebands, let alone actually do it. alas, the g2x is my daily driver so i need it to preform well and be stable. that means i need bluetooth calling, working GPS, MMS, all that.

Yeah... Can't argue with you there. The G2x is a POS. I traded my MT4G for this phone too, while I don't really regret it since I got more money once I sold the G2x, the MT4G was far more reliable and every ROM just worked on it.
Either way, it was a lesson learned to never buy another LG phone no matter what the specs are. Samsung and HTC is the way to go from now on. Or better yet, Nexus!

Disagree. Gingerbread 2.3.3 stunk on the G2x, and Nvidia's policy of keeping its drivers "closed-source" sucks!

Strongly agree! For $350, I know what I'd buy in a second if my G2x took a crap on me. Still, considering my 2 year contract came with a "free" G2x on each line nearly a year ago - I am not complaining. By the way, stock based 2.3.4 Gingerbread ROMs define stable for me (Thanks Kwes and Buru). However, I suppose I like a little instability in my life though since I married a woman?!? and use CM7 ROMs!?!:silly:

i've been seriously condsidering getting a loan and buying a nexus, than cancelling with t-mobile lol it'd probably be cheaper in the long run.

It's just a phone. If you want to be on the bleeding edge and have something to play around with just get a nexus 7.
I think a lot of people are just jealous that others get ics/jb and don't realize that it's not that big of a difference. g2x works great when I don't have my tablet.
