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 best response ever to these ridiculous threads.

Did he advise to get a different phone in that case?
Do you own a G2x?

I believe the stores are selling through their stock and they aren't getting replenished...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................until the Gingerbread update is released and they start selling those.

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.

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.

Gingerbread for Infuse

I am looking into upgrading to the infuse, but I'm a bit leary at this point. What is the status of the GB ROMs? Is there a stable version at this point? Thanks and I apologize if this has been asked already.

A few if you look in the development section, and there will likely be more once GB is officially released to the infuse later this month(if you believe AT&T).

Infused v2 is quite stable - it's missing HDMI and the data speeds are a little wonky (It will likely remain this way until AT&T releases GB), but it's the daily driver for a lot of people.
CM7 is less stable - however it's the daily driver for a lot of people. Most of the known issues are pretty clearly spelled out.
nopcodex90 and h8rift have ROMs in progress. nop is doing final polish-up (he was going to release a beta but decided against it after seeing the Infused v2 threads go downhill), h8rift is waiting until after AT&T GB is released.

Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate it

The GS2 should be released in 2-3 weeks. If you have an upgrade due you may want to consider waiting. It will be released with GB.

It had capacitave buttons only...no big apple style home button. It was 4.3" ....barely noticeably smaller than the infuse.

Be happy we're getting ICS. This is a year and a half old phone.
The only reason apple updates for so long is because it has literally like 6 devices to update. HTC has like 30+, all with diffrerent RIL, screen sizes, ram, processors, and carriers.
The CyanoogenMod developers don't work for you, don't expect anything from them.

Android 4.1 is a stupid simple update from ICS. It isn't all that different and a lot of stuff will carry over. The developer's well get 4.1 running as soon as they can, if they can. The reason we don't have ICS is because we don't have a RIL yet. That should come with the first ICS leak.
If Apple's release schedule is superior then I think it's time for you to go buy an iPhone.The dev's are already pretty stressed out about this, and they do all their work for free. You honestly don't have the right to demand anything.
If you want the latest updates immediately after they come out, you should have bought a Nexus device.
Also, Cyanogenmod isn't the only AOSP build out there, and there are many better ones. I'd research into most of them, since the active CM developers for the Tbolt are working with 7, not 9(which is ICS based) it could be a while.
I also hope that your american comment was not serious, but it doesn't matter. The damage is done. Attitudes like that are the reason that a lot of other nations look down on the US and consider the citizen's ignorant and stupid.

what i am saying is that it is stupid how long it takes from the time google/moto releases the code to it gets to us on our phones. Even the sprint nexus s took over 6 months to get out.... why cant it be quick like apple is all i am saying since they too have many devices to support fromt he 3gs, 4, 4s and soon the 5.
and when the world has a problem who do they call? THE USA! True Power is not given... It is TAKEN.... J.R. Ewing

The thunderbolt is an older device now, it has a single core CPU and there are now phones that are quadcore with better screens and hardware. If you don't like the selection of roms our developers have made available to us, like you said, you're an American, you have the free choice to get another phone or learn to port jellybean to the bolt yourself.

We wont see an official release of that and the only way we will is through development. Im honestly surprised that the phone manufacturers are even updating the thunderbolt and some of the others to ics. People aren't going to go out and buy a thunderbolt because it has ics. Theyre going to buy the new badass phone with a gazillion freaking cores in it that all dont even operate most of the time.

They spent 900 bucks plus airfare to get to IO I don't think anyone will touch Jelly Bean until source is released in mid July. SDK ports are buggy as all get out and nothing more than proof of concept. We still won't have a fully functional ROM until LG releases ICS source. On the bright side, drivers should be able to be ported from ICS to JB, until GB to ICS.

i see Paul at modaco.com already has JB rom w/kitchen for the galaxy nexus the G2x versions will be uber gimped due to lg's inability to release the source to the dev community. reason why i sold my g2x for a gnex and haven't looked back.

nope! its a nexus brand so it will get updates first since google is handling the code/updates directly. i assume google has the source for the kernel and of course resources/connections with nvidia. whereas lg just wants to sell more phones than update older ones (prev g2x owner).

Haven't the previous Google direct Galaxy phones been outdated rather quickly? Maybe not outdated, but left behind in terms of OTA's and things like that?
I mean, people will argue the galaxy s2 is a better phone than Nexus...and now the s3 just came out! For one (only one?) of the only devices to come pre-packaged with ICS, it seems to lack certain functionality and features that carrier specific phones have.

There is a dude I work with who has the Galaxy Nexus and loves it, in person the thing is beautiful...probably one of the nicest phones I've seen, well, besides the white Galaxy s2. I have a thing for phones that are all white, super clean looking, and I hate putting cases on my phones.

4.2 ROMS

So everyone knows that today was the official announcement of android 4.2 and the devices that will have them pre-installed. How long do you guys think it will take to get a ROM up for the GS3?

Well depends when the source is released then complied and bug tested and posted here. I would say 2 days to 2 months depending how much it has to be tweaked to run right.

Samsung has a headstart probably because of its galaxy nexus series phones,so probably other galaxy series phones will get it fast too?? i would say less than one month from now.SGS 3 is still one of Samsung's flagship models still though. :good:

You forget we are on Verizon though haha. Verizon slows down updates like nobodies buisness.

Offical ota? Probably late 2013 or something stupid like that. I have no clue why Verizon sucks ass with updates but its annoying. iirc they released JB for the Nexus like 2 months after every other carrier had released theirs.

Verizon has strict update certification policies. Don't see that changing anytime soon.

An aosp version shouldnt take long after the source code is released.

Did you mean big news? Yes, very much so, you'll probably see 976 threads labeled "4.2 source code released!"...........and then 985,456 people flaming them because there are 975 too many threads about it, lol.
Regardless, you'll probably see some AOSP merges in roms including 4.2 within a week of then, I'd be willing to bet. Whether they're stable or not is a whole new question......
EDIT: Ninja'd........haha

yes

I agree with tech as soon we can get our hands on it someone will have the success to port it, but it won't be anything like a regular rom until the source is released. I'd say it shouldn't take no more than a few weeks for us to see 4.2

They are famous for their time consuming ROM testing and evaluation process for delivering a perfect device that we have to root and ROM to get it to run like it should !
