Ive just got my replacement and i would like to be sure its not ref device. But i dont know how to check this. Thx a lot for help
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
The only way to check is to run the LG Updater and it will identify the phone and tell you the internal model number. Anything other than LGP999DW is a refurb. The known refurb models are LGP999DWP and LGP999DWDU. The updater will not harm the phone as you are not actually updating it. Just using it to read the internal model number.
Thx a lot man

I will say, that although I was initially bothered that my replacement was a refurbished unit, it far exceeds my original in terms of lack of screen bleed, no reboots, no overheating, gps works, etc.

Call them and let them know your replacement sucks. They will most likely overnight you another one.
I don't know how much they test refurbs - but you got a bad one so get another.

Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
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.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
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.

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.

I have Gingerbread on my G2X ... its of the CM flavor, but i think I'll prefer that over LG's version anyway.
K I have had my phone for a month now I have gotten one reboot, one were the phone did a factory reset by itself and I still get the black screen of death. So my question is should I take it in and exchange it for a new one please let me know or do I just hold off for gingerbread and all my headaches will go away please band thank you

The G2x random reboot issue is definitely a software issue. Both Froyo and Gingerbread was never made to run on a dual core phone. The hardware on this phone is ahead of its software. Ice Cream Sandwich (the next major Android software that is specifically geared towards dual core processors) should fix this issue. The only hardware defect that most G2x owners are facing is screen bleed. Fortunately for me I don't have this issue.

Although I've already "made my peace" with many of those here who had a gripe with me, I'd like to, once again, thank the people here who were actually helpful, were willing to accept my apology and, most importantly, the developers who are always hard at work trying to make the GS4G the best that it can be. The recent Gingerbread ROMs have really brought new life to this phone and addressed many of my initial complaints and disappointment.
That being said, (and much to the delight of several of you here who just can't seem to move past things, even after my apologies and attempts to reconcile) I still can't see myself keeping this phone. There's just not enough RAM, app storage space, etc. and, being a father of 8 month old twins, I need a decent camera ready at all times. I think we can all agree that the camera on this thing is about as weak as it gets these days.
So I ordered an HTC Sensation which should be here in a week. I guess I'll be bothering the guys over in those forums soon enough.
SELLING OUTSIDE THE MARKET PLACE IS AGAINST FORUM RULES

When you call into AT&T ask for the number to the warranty department. They will ask you a few questions to determine if that's the right department you are looking for. Just say you charged your phone and it no longer turns on. Eventually after lying a bit more you will have a replacement device on its way to you. Works for me all the time and have never failed yet.
They say all kind of things to scare you out of it, but nothing ever happens. I don't know if it is just my luck. I warranty at least 3 times for the year just to keep my phone looking brand new and I send it in working perfectly fine.

If you wanna keep karma intact call Samsung and ask them how much it would be to replace the digitizer. If you don't believe in karma just flash a ROM to it from another Samsung phone. Bring it to ATT store and say WTF my phone just stopped working.
Lol thanks rapstar I can definitely give it a shot. Here my thing jyazzie that your correct they don't warranty hardware breaking so by my son dropping the phone voided the warranty. But here my thing I have had other providers and they always warrantied at least one accidental replacement and for 199 I could just go and buy something else like a galaxy note. But seriously 199 for a phone that is on the do not sell list lol. Thank you all for the help and feed back. But I'll see if my work will let me get one temporarily.

I'd try to brick it through Kies, tbqh. Can be done without the screen on if you restore to 2.3 in ODIN. It's a risk that they see the digitizer and have a "WTF" moment, but you stand a good chance of getting away with saying, "I did the upgrade through Kies and now it doesn't work."

Indeed. I actually had Samsung replace my screen when I broke the glass a few months ago. They charged me 158 and they covered shipping both ways. I had the phone back in 8 days. Since they did the work it is still under warranty if anything else should go wrong. It was actually cheaper than any of the glass/digitizer units I could find online.

I did research before trading getting the Amaze 4G. Not a bad phone but the only custom ROMS are all based off the TMO Stock ROM.
I did trade it for a PS Vita. And its been collecting dust. Even with my PS Plus subscription, I'd rather have an android phone to play with that the PS Vita. I Hope that console gets better. I've regretted the that trade. But whatever. If I can get emulation to work like old school consoles work on that crap, then its worth it.
I still have my G2X actually using it again. I just can't let it go.
Have you tried using FB Sense AOSP? When I was using my Amaze that's what i was running.
