Welcome to our club.

Also just picked up a G2x off of Craigslist, as well as a T-Mob Nexus S. Playing with both of them to see which one I'll keep. Have you put a ROM on the G2x yet? It's a little bit more involved than using the One-Click app.

I've tried out most of them. I prefer the CM7 nightlies so far (although I'm running the latest KANG atm).

I'm on AOSP and liking it, prolly move to CM nightly soon. Between this and the Nexus S, having a hard time deciding which I prefer - whichever one I happen to be using at the moment is the one I like better. Just worried about whether devs will bring a decent ICS to the G2x.

Does CM7 have the issue of constantly turning wifi off when screen shuts off, even though settings are fixed to prevent wifi shut off? I was using Eagle's Blood, which is supposed to be based on CM, and my wifi would not stay on and was causing my data radios to kill my battery. I'm now on Weapon G2x and the problem stopped (saw this solution in other forums), but I'd like to try other ROMs and I'm wonder if you or anyone else has seen this issue in their ROM of choice. Thanks!

Thanks this phone is fast I can play angry birds and ninja fruit with no lag

it is encouraging to see someone else do the same drastic upgrade! i am a little afraid i'll miss my keyboard but i think that will fade quickly

Yea this is a nice phone. Something about the hardware I like most is the feel of the screen, it feels just like glass so your fingers glides with ease lol

I thought I was going to miss the keyboard on the blackberry. I was over of in a day.

Also forgot to mention I came from a Motorola backflip. Its slower then the g1 cuz of motoblur. I was happy to throw it up in the air about 70 feet in the air once I got this phone. Surprisingly it didn't crack. It broke though. Anyways Congrats on the g2x

that is good news to hear then i've had keyboard phones for six years and was going to upgrade to the sidekick 4g but after doing all my research i decided the g2x was obviously a much better phone, it will just be a bit of an adjustment for me

I also came from a g1 and sold that and got the mt4g with some cash. It was and still is a beast of a phone but I needed a g2x so I traded for one on craigslist. Honestly as nice as that g1 keyboard was I have gotten over it with smartkeyboard pro which IMHO is the best on-screen keyboard out there. Best part is I'm still due for an upgrade since this past August and I already got this sick ass g2x I was drooling for back when I had the og g1 lollol
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Have fun
I used to have the G1, then Mytouch 3G, now G2x, it's a great phone! Way fast and now that most of the bugs are worked out it runs awesome. Now I just need to figure out how to root the thing and I'll be all set!

No, its a fact that people complain far more than they compliment. Those enjoying their phones are the silent majority.
I'm going from my droid which is running an under volt kernel and OCed to 1000 with CM5 (could be wrong on the version of CM, can't remember). Can't wait for CM7 on this phone.
The only issue I have is minor light bleed, but its so minor I wouldn't imagine returning the phone.
I personally think a lot of people complain too damn much.
Coming from the whole iPhone lineup. I'm in love with this phone and android in general. I've tried the evo, atrix, Droid, and the nexus one. I love the responsiveness of this phone. Can't wait for cm7!

here we go!
This is my first android phone and my first time with Tmobile. So far the phone and service have been great. The phone is already really fast but I can't wait to see what CM7 or the gingerbread release brings.

G2x stock not to be replenished by tmobile.

My good friend who is a tmo regional manager says g2x is being dropped. Or rather, stores are selling through their stock and are not going to be replenished. Not good news.

Haha, I knew everyone would freak out. I have no proof, but I have been friends with him for years and completely trust him. I do own/use a g2x and have been overall happy with it. Just passing along info....calm down.
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.
I be really mad, I like this phone alot even with the few problems it has.

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.

Many here claim they have the "secret" information.
Lets make a gentleman's wager. If he is right and it is discontinued, you can design my sig and if he is wrong I can design yours. The sig will have to stay for 6 months. Deal?

I have Gingerbread on my G2X ... its of the CM flavor, but i think I'll prefer that over LG's version anyway.

Thanks for the help

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
Thanks again. Be good.
Sell it to krylon whitehawk or honk on the cheap!! That'll quiet those griping!!

You can apologize, but one thing you still haven't figured out is that you still complain, and take from the community and rarely provide anything back.
Hope it works well on the sensation forum for you.

I can tell within 5 minutes of reading the OP's past threads that he's annoying as hell. I really hope he doesn't come to the Sensation section harassing people.
I can't go lower than $200, as it looks like I can get that, or a bit more, on eBay.

Idk, G2x is great, I love it, but by "buy" you mean actually spend money to get a G2x? Think about it... we don't have ICS/JB and who knows if we will get them and when... and what about next update? probably won't get that either. So, just get like a phone that will probably get updates more often like a samsung or something. Sorry not hating but just looking out for you lol think thorougly before you return to this dead phone :crying:

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.
