Just called Netflix they say the app is running on their end and that it's the manufacturer's fault if the app won't run.
I wonder what the issue is? Is it an issue with the software? Anyone think they can crack this?
It's crap like this that makes being a G2X owner frustrating.
Yep. Bring on the Prime

LG's Response
Typical response from LG - blame T-Mobile:
Gustavo: Hello Guest. Welcome to LG Electronics U.S.A.! How may I provide you with excellent service today?
Guest: I have an LG G2X and I tried installing the new Netflix app fromt the android market which is supposed to be compatible with all devices running Android 2.2.2 or 2.3.3; however, the Netflix app does not work on the G2X. I called Netflix and they said they are aware of the issue. They also said that this is an LG problem not a Netflix problem. I just wanted to know if LG was doing something about it.
Gustavo: Basically what I mean to say is that if you would be interested in finding out information related to software, service or even SIM card related question for GSM type phones, I suggest contacting the carrier since they are responsible for that part of the phone and should have information to help out with your questions.
Gustavo: As well, even though LG engineers do help out though out the development process, LG does not actually support third party software or applications, which in any case you would want to contact the carrier as well if dealing with issues related to apps or other software not directly related to the phone.
Guest: So you say it is a T-Mobile issue?
Gustavo: I am always happy to help out as best I can with situations in general, but I am unfortunately only limited to the information we have for the hardware specifications and what we can find in the Owner’s manual, in our system and from experience.
Gustavo: I honestly do apologize for the inconvenience if there is any. Hopefully you now have a better picture of software vs hardware. I tried to help out and type in this information as clearly as I could so you could have a better picture of how LG phones are actually made.
Gustavo: As far as Apps go, it is really up to the App developer
Guest: OK thanks. This is what I expected.
Gustavo: The app developer has to work out the glitches for the app to work on the provided software.

I don't think people realize this. I find it funny that people have been using MIUI, CM7 and EB for months without knowing they could run Netflix.
Yea Netflix only requires you to trick Netflix into thinking its a different phone.

Doesn't really matter who is to blame, point is it doesn't work and no one seems to care to fix it or get it to work. Like many other apps on the market the G2X is ignored.
In Netflix's defense, a lot of LG phones are having problems with the App.
If you read some of the comments it's mostly "Does not work on G2x," or "Does not work on Optimus T" or "Does not work on LG Thrill."
Works for me just fine on eaglesblood.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
There's something missing from the OS LG uses on the G2x and others. This works fine on my Streak 7, but crashes out on the G2x. The reason it works in other ROMs is that they supply the missing thing Netflix needs to work. Now if we could only figure out what that was and supply it somehow.....

Why? It's just proof that LG/T-Mobile left something out of the stock rom that facilitates running Netflix. If it works on CM7/AOSP based roms that just points out that the only factor causing Netflix not to work is the firmware running on the device, not the device or the app themselves.
So, the point is that you can point the finger at LG/T-Mobile. It's not lazy coding on Netflix's end. If it had something to do with the app/device it wouldn't run on CM7 either (which does not trick it into thinking it's on another device, it supplies whatever it is in the framework that Netflix needs that the stock roms do not have).
ok guys just for you!!! i went back to stock uninstall my cracked netflix app and installed the one from the market and guess what wuala it works fine with me!!!!!

I know we just got 2.3.3 but I'm just wandering why they getting an update so fast and who knows when we will get another one
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Probably never, there are rumors of the g2x getting ICS 4.0 sometime, although that is highly unlikely. You can try out CM7 for 2.3.5.
What he said
LG and T-Mobile won't come out with any updates. LG releasing the source code, they abandoned support.
XDA is only reason this phone gets any kind of love and support.
There is hardly anything noticeable between 2.3.3, 2.3.4, and 2.3.5.
If you want a newer version, do a custom rom. I can't understand why people, on XDA especially, fight so hard to stay on a stock rom that is old and lacking. My neighbor bought a G2x the other day and I NVFlashed his phone in like 4 minutes (mostly due to downloading and finding the XDA thread for the NVFlasher).
Gingerbread is available in a plethera of roms for our device. I'd much rather LG focus their efforts on a timely ICS release.
I just wish nvidia would release drivers. I would love a2dp on the newer roms

I hope we don't get 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 if that comes. I want LG to just focus on getting out 2.4 as near as available as possible. All the learning from vanilla with driver fixes should make 2.4 a snap.
At this point nothing about 2.3 any variants makes any difference after 2.3.3
The G2X vanilla should easily be able to handle Android 4, or 2.4 whatever its named sandwich. The hardware is spec. And should be able to get onto the next version after Ice Cream, at that time it will be like a basic model that can still easily support.
I am expecting 2 more full releases on the phone, as the cost for LG to do, with the drivers worked out, should be very minimal.
Worse case, LG can license a custom ROM, and toss that out for a couple hundred K. 2 man years cost.

It is nice to see you post something other than the CAL... if you really think LG is gonna release anything other than maybe a small updae which i also doubt. maybe youll join with the CAL.. This is it even LG has said they dont even plan on bringing out the camera appp which i thought they would at least do.
As burk said no proof either way. But history means a lot and sicne this debacle i have looked at lg and see this has been nothing new with them. and Updates have been only carrier pushed for bugs from what i have read.
Yes it would be nice to see something new and great for the phone from LG but dont hold your breath.
hmmm
I would rather LG focus on getting all the bugs fix with this phone rather than releaseing a new os version for it plauged with the same issues and froyo and gingerbread

Wouldn't actually work since gtalk works using NEON which our processors don't have. I haven't tried the alternatives (like vtalk our vtok, something like that) but they don't apparently work well. google has to fix it unless there's been a development I missed.

After the fiasco of 2.3.3, LG is never going to touch this phone ever again. It's dead in the water for all they care, and Tmo isn't going to pressure them into updating because they're focused on pimping the Sensation right now.
CyanogenMod is the only way this phone will ever see ICS, I would put money on that.

So what you think personally
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
that is what I think personally, it all depends on what you look for. I don't know if you're gonna root either device, if so what you wan't installed on them, MyTouch will have MySense on it which is bloat and a pain in the ass in my opinion, if you root it and need a keyboard and install a Cyanogen rom then I say go for the MyTouch... if you want a gaming device then go with the G2X, if you don't need the keyboard and don't care about custom skins like Sense, then go with the G2X... it's about your preference!
Taking the specs aside I think if I could I would get the MT4GSlide only because of that keyword. I mean typing the screen of the G2x is great but something about the slide keyboards brings me back to the good old G1 days.
my g2x has a lovely screen and its fun to game on i personally wouldnt trade it for a mytouch slide.
I personally would trade it. Then sell it, then rebuy the g2x. Other than that I wouldn't.

I believe the MT4G Slide has open drivers since it's a snapdragon, meaning it probably has FULLY functional ICS ROMs (I wouldn't be too sure). It also has an amazing camera with zero shutter-lag. But eh, it's up to you. Try checking out their Subforum to see if there's anything there that you'd like. I'd stick with my G2x running Owain's CM9 KANG

For reliability, yes take the MT4GS. It has no SOD's, no random reboots or shutoffs, and most importantly a fully functioning GPS that doesn't crap out on you when you most need it. And I believe it has more RAM as well with a camera that's 100x better than the G2x.
Other than that, G2x for the screen size and speaker quality.

There have been many experienced users here that suffer from these problems, even some of the devs. As for me, I actually don't have these problems except for the GPS issue.
I've just seen enough experienced people complain about this issue to the point where it is a problem.
And I think it's annoying when there's people that constantly ask people how they're having problems since "theirs runs so godly", thus every one else is doing it wrong. I had a MT4G before this and it was a champ on stock and an even better champ rooted.
But for the G2x it's pretty bad stock and maybe you can fix all problems rooted, or maybe not.
Let's not even talk specs. Holding the two phones together, I can already seeing myself choose G2x over MyTouch any day.
I bought my g2x secondhand. No problem excepwhen removing HDMI cable its a little tight
My GPS locks under 1.5minute without data using copilot

mack...I was not trying to annoy you, but in a thread where someone is asking for advice you list numerous problems, but then you say you do not have any of those problems. It just seemed like mindless bashing. The vast majority of folks have been able to correct any issues through a new battery or a better rom than the stock one. If you want the GPS to function as it should you may want to try New Clip. Not the fanciest rom, but super stable with good battery life and excellent GPS. I can tweak the appearance on my own so many of the bells and whistles of other roms do not interest me. Stability does. Anyway, I am glad your phone does not have all the issue you listed. I was pretty sure you would be able to overcome any problems, just as many of us have.

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:

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.

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!

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.

check my sig. lol
and its ICS so i got google now on that ishhh. i wish we could get stock voice search though. the workaround blows.
Please all G2x owners - if you have had problems with your phone, file a complaint with the FCC. I would post the link but:
"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
uhh...right. So you'll just have to google FCC online complaint and follow the link.
I filed it under wireless carrier and tmobile, though LG is just as much to blame for this piece of garbage. We were advertised a top of the line smartphone and provided a worthless piece of garbage that overheats,randomly reboots, has hardware wifi and gps problems, and will not receive a promised ICS update.
Did I mention they lied about pulling the device from shelves because it was defective? Do I even need to?
Let's make them hurt.
Lolz
Where did you ever see ICS was promised?
LG did upgrade us. From 2.2.2-2.3.3-2.3.4.
So we did recieve upgrades. Just because you want and expect ICS does not mean they have to.
They even released official notice that G2x will not receive ICS.
As for all the other issues, my phone ran great after 2.3.4 update and above mentioned conflicts were resolved.
I personally choose to run CM7 but stock 2.3.4 was a huge resolve and fix from 2.3.3.
Good luck...

If you're satisfied with waiting over a year for a working update, and working phone, that's your choice. I paid for a working phone when I bought the device.

don't know about you but mine always worked fine.
And worked better when I got the 2.3.4 update a few months later,
Coming from the g2x to now the SGS III that phone does not work properly. I thought it was a good phone with cm on it, buru rom, I tried them all. Nothing makes that phone worth saying "it got all I needed done" there were plenty of times I wanted to throw it across the room, still do since I handed it down to my mother (who hates it also). You can't tell me you guys will purchase another LG cell phone?

I would purchase from LG again, if the hardware specs were what I am looking for.
I buy devices for their hardware, not factory stock software.
And the hardware on my G2x with my modding is awesome and still puts some of these newer devices to shame.
Example, I would NEVER by something Acer made.
But I did buy the Iconia A100 from them. Out of the box, it was junk. I modded it and it's what I wanted to be.
Hardware specs> Tegra 2
1 GB RAM
1200x600 resolution
For my android gaming needs.
Would I buy another Acer even though in factory condition it's useless? Yes, as long as the hardware specs meet what I am looking for.
EDIT: At this time I am going to bow out of this thread before it gets heated. Good luck OP with your future endeavors. My point has been spoken, made, and seconded. lol

Yea this is probably the 1st time I would have to disagree with ya. The G2x is pretty badass assuming you have one that's not plagued with hardware issues. This phone definetly does all I need it to
I just came back from a trip and was able to watch my movie on-the- plane, Bluetooth my music while navigating to my destination and looking up restaurants on yelp through the car stereo and then back at the hotel hook my phone up via HDMI to the TV to stream my movie and show a PowerPoint presentation. My wife has the sgs3 and still is debating the overpriced mhl cable so she can hook up to the TV like my G2x can with a 3.00 cable from Amazon

Honestly, if you're on xda, then why care at this point? We have gingerbread roms and kernels that add more features and make the phone run better than it ever would. After using fauxs kernel, performance is buttery smooth for me; much smoother than any stock phone I've used. Also, ics just released in Korea for the su660. Pretty soon we'll have cm10 nightlies and a stable release after.
I don't see a reason to complain about the g2x. It's a decent little phone with great community support. What more could you ask for? As long as you're smart and don't buy another LG phone (especially one with a locked bootloader), there's no need to get upset.

Hehehe. Yup Unfortunately All G2xs r not created equal...
yeah i sure wouldnt want to buy another LG phone ever, but i heard the next nexus phone is from LG.........FUUUUUCK D:
The G2x may have good hardware, but it performs for ****. I came from the LG Optimus M and the LG Optimus V before getting the G2x and I stuck with LG due to prior positive experiences. Never again. The M and V performed better out of the box, albeit with lesser hardware capabilities. I never had ANY problems with either one of those phones, yet the G2x gave me problem after problem from day one. I should have returned it when I had the chance, but I thought I should give it a chance. That's too bad, too, because the Galaxy SII was released two weeks after I purchased mine.
I was hoping for a Nexus phone next, but I'll pass if it's LG and just wait to see if Samsung or HTC are also going to release ones as well. Honestly, at this point, I'm also thinking on switching over to Windows Phone 8 when my contract is up next year.

Definitely if you don't have a plagued one, unfortunately there are a butt load of them that are plagued and LG just sat and watched and made new phones, and new phones with issues as well. GPS sucks on the device most of the time, screen is horrid, battery could be worse... pairing it up against my gs3 and i get frustrated trying to use it at times, especially with freezes and hotboots and the phone getting extremely hot while charging on the regular... of course I figured out how to get around those problems with a rom and what not... nvidia made it worse with their closed source and stuff. If it weren't for the devs we have/had I would've tossed the phone out a long time ago.

Hi All!
Recently, while surfing through the ocean of ROMs for my LG G2X P999, I came across this ROM. Couldn't find any link related to this on XDA. So thought of pointing the G2X owners to this link:
http://www.androidauthority.com/g2x-p999-t-mobile-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-unofficial-115536/
Flashed it just yesterday. Apart from the Video-recording did not notice any bugs so far. In fact I haven't used it enough to comment on bugs. But I can confirm that Calls and Wifi are both working fine.
If any one knows any prior publication of this work on XDA; please let me know so we can avoid duplicates.

I tried a couple different versions of CM7 over the past few days, and its nothing but a nightmare. It will run flawlessly for hours and then something quirky will happen and I either cant get data, or cant make calls, or my screen locks up, and im rebooting the phone or looking for a fix on google. Wound up just going back to the stock rom with faux123 kernel.

Well the problem is that other developers take the vanilla cm7 code and tweak/mod the hell out of it which is always awesome but they put out an unstable build/ROM. If you haven't tried vanilla CM7.2 from get.cm (latest build) then you're missing out. I have had the ROM installed running with mazout's latest kernel for over a week now and its been running extremely well. All and any problems that I experienced with this setup were directly due to ignorance and human error as I'm still a flaming n00b. At the same time they were great learning experiences and easily fixed.

The problem is going to lie in your setup somewhere.
Maybe kernel level as it is known that some G2xs will run great on Trinity but crash on Faux and vice versa. That's just a quick example.
I've run vanilla CM7 for like 13 months now and do not encounter the issues you are describing.
Soooo...what's your setup.

Data does work but there is issue related to rapid battery drain. Back to my stock ROM. This hasn't been updated since a long time. I wonder if any developer at all is working on this phone or not!

You are late to the party... This device is a dying device. There's 1 dev working on a CM7 Kernel and that's about it. More than likely we will never see fully working 4.1.1 or higher on our device. They tried real hard and are some talented people (our devs), but LG handed them a broken pile of excrement and said, "here you go... Jellybeans!!"...

That's almost all true! I have another old phone, Mytouch4g/HTC Glacier. On that one I am running 4.2.2 and there is a lot of development still on. Huge number of ROMs which can be used as daily drivers. But here we don't even have a perfectly working 4.0.4. But again, no complain to Developers. they have tried really hard with a lot of time invested in this device. All the blame on LG.
This phone is lightning fast on 2.3.X variants. still very much usable. I may be late to the party, but the party is yet not over
I just want to chime in that I used this and the phone is working. The camera seems slower (and therefore more blurry). Other than that everything that I use (I do not use bluetooth, tethering, or wi-fi calling) is working. It's about the same speed as CM7 I had on here before. Don't know about battery since I only just did it.
If anyone knows any tricks for the camera please share. I babysit a toddler and his face is often blurry in photos. I'm pretty sure with this new ROM it will be even more blurred. I have already removed the plastic cover over the camera lens, it's not that issue. This is clearly software as it has gotten slower with this ROM.
We thought we might have a jellybean breakthrough when cm started deving cm10.1 on the p990 and had the courtesy of posting a half port of their work in progress. I believe it's called AdamPK's cm10.1 and is usually found with Mazout360 kernel. Hardware Acceleration Work so no camera, camcorder, sluggish or other problems that plagued the hackfests but they ran into and issue with the radio because O2x and G2x use different radio chips. So you have wifi but no data and battery can't be read correctly but other than that it would be as close to a perfect 4.x as we could get.
