Hey guys, I have a chance to switch out my MT4G for a G2x through insurance.
I know the spec difference, my only concern is how CM7 and MIUI run on the G2x?
CM7 and MIUI both run perfectly on the MT4G, so was worried that it won't be as good on the G2x.
Main concerns are if it has any GPS and or.wifi problems?
Anyways, any response would be greatly appreciated!

Both work great on it in my experiences miui runs smmoth as butter but mom's pictures come in and send out low quality pictures. And wifi calling doesn't work. CM7 is awesome especially with the new 7.101 update.

Thanks guys. So there's some issues with the G2x running CM?

Both of those ROM's work and run awesome on the G2x. Although if you were to flash a ROM, i would definitely go with CM7. MiUi still has its problems....CM7 on the other hand, is very close to perfection!
Although, all phones are different...some could have running problems and some never do. I guess this what i like most about my G2x, i learn something new about the phone everyday. Lol.
But this phone is virtually, BULLETPROOF. (just like a 4G63 or 4B11 )

Thanks for the reply man! Screen bleed is the only hardware problem for this phone right?

Kinda...some phones might be worst than others. Other know Hardware problems are the Random reboots and freezes. But a custom ROM should be able to fix any hardware imperfection.
i went from a mt4g to a g2x through insurance too and its the best decision i ever made it only has 1 issue, screen bleeding but it doesnt make a difference at all unless you put full brightness in a dark room thats when youll notice it or when you look from an angle and i only use miui for the g2x its perfect

+1 I did the exact same thing and if I had to do it all over again, I would. I've been running eaglesblood for a while but started running CM7.1 the other day with no flaws. I don't even notice any screen bleed on my phone but my brightness is set low. Every G2x is different from the next.

I use MIUI also. Works awesome except wifi on the latest build is iffy. Seems to not have problems at home but my work router seems to keep dropping and it's on my damn desk.
Wifi calling also doesnt work on MIUI.
CM7 I think is all good.
Little Bugs are still being nailed down but nothing to worry over.

A few phones from the earlier batches (including mine, which has now been replaced with insurance... damn tile floors) had issues with the HDMI out causing the battery to short out when you plugged in an HDMI cable. The most logical explanation was bad soldering, but the issue was never common enough to make it to T-Mo's known issues.
Several people's phones got fried (there's a really old thread about it in this forum I believe), while in mine I just had to get a new battery. Doubt it would be an issue, but you can never know too little.

Just got off the horn with a customer care rep. After 5 MT4G's they are sending me a G2x.
Looks like I'll be hanging around here for awhile. After trolling around the G2x general section for awhile...
Are there a bunch of issues with this phone too? Or is it whiners like me bringing down the major corporations again?
Anyway, I'll get comfortable here for awhile. I am always interested in donating to a good cause. (Virtuous Unity Sense... Evil D!)

Stock software is buggy. As long as your handset doesn't have any major hardware defects then you should be fine. Definitely root and at the very least get rid of the T-Mobile bloatware. I recommend CM7 tho. They just released their first RC and its pretty darn good.
The phone is a powerhouse for sure.
I came from the MT4G. With the G2X YMMV. Some have lots of issues, some have none. Unfortunately it is the luck of the draw with this device at the moment. Only real hardware problem is the screen bleed, again some screens are bad, while others have hardly anything visible. every other issue with this phone is software based, and should be fixed with the upcoming upcoming update.

I plan on running CM7 on it. I ran CM7 on my MT4G. Really liked some of the new Sense ROM's Evil D was posting up, but I always go back to Cyanogen. It's like your old girlfriend that won't go away.
As far as light leak. Is there any particular place it's bleeding from? Just asking... My last run of phones hasn't been so great. I want to make sure I don't get another problem device. Although, I just read a post in here about the Sensation not being so great either.

again for the bleeding it varies by each G2X. I am fortunate and have hardly any bleed, only place on mine is in the top right hand corner and it can only be seen on a completely black screen. Other G2x screens are so bad that light bleeds around the whole screen.
As for flashing roms, I have not flashed another rom yet but I have rooted. All current roms have the same issues as stock for the most part because they use te same drivers as stock. Until LG releases the update with newer drivers the issues will remain in cooked roms. You will love this phone though. If you get one with just slight screen bleed and no other issues hang on to it. Even though the G2X is flawed at the moment it still wipes the floor with any other phone out there.
I think the bleeding business is overblown. You'll notice it in pitch black darkness on a black screen. During normal use i dont notice a thing.

Good to note. I'm pretty happy about TMo trading my device for this one. Looks like the root procedure is much easier than any device I've ever rooted. (G1, Magic 32A, Magic 32B, Mytouch Slide, or MT4G)
One Click is about as easy as it gets. I'll let you guys know on Friday about the screen bleed. I read that the newer devices aren't as bad... Not sure if there is any truth to that, but I'll know Friday
Bleeding
Well I just got the G2x about 2 hours ago. (Yes it's already rooted w/ clockwork and I did a nandroid) That didn't take long at all.
I was checking out the screen and I am getting a little bleed up in the left corner of the screen. I haven't noticed too many bugs either, but I've only had the phone on for about an hour. I won't be waiting around with the Stock ROM either.
Looks like CM7 is still RC for this phone. Which is good news, but what ROM (So far) has the most stuff working? Kernel?
I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread at all. I've been trying to read as much as I can.

I'm actually experiencing the opposite.
The battery on my G2x is dropping while I watch it. I've wiped, reloaded, wiped, reloaded, wiped, reloaded and it's still dropping. Battery stats are always wiped as well, something is just chomping away at the %.
I'm currently using my backup MT4G running RG, I did 14hrs on one charge and that's with a 3.5hr conference call and heavy data usage.
There has got to be data use issues causing the battery on the g2x to drain so quickly. Mine is on cm7 rc1 and I've had out on wifi with no sim in it and mobile network off. I've used it a fair amount and it's currently at 91% left after 21 hours.

What ROM are you using when you experience problems with your battery?
Sent From My Stock G2x
Hey guys, i am currently interested in getting the g2x to dev on. I dev for the Moto defy since the day it came out and have plenty of roms. Now my question is how are you guys experience with this device? I've read some complaints of tons of reboot and back light leak, poor signal..etc.. Any comments would be much appreciated, looking forward to getting this phone
Very good device. Some have backlight bleed but only really noticeable in the dark and when looking at it on an angle.
I haven't had any reboots recently but once when i got a call and after hung up it just died and had to pull battery.
Main problem seems to be that Nvidia's lack of sources for A2DP functionality for stereo bluetooth and that 2.3.3 is on froyo kernel so further updates with custom roms would be difficult.
thanks for the reply, how are the roms? Any problems with current roms ?

In all honesty, CM7 works perfectly even with the lack of a2dp support. 2.3.3 OTA based roms (namely Weapon G2x) works just as well if you want that close to stock feel with more features. MIUI has all the same problems CM7 does since they run off the same kernel.
I've never had any issues with reboots, and if people do it's probably because of rogue apps running in the background. I never had a reboot because I like keeping my app drawer as minimal as possible At least, that is my theory
I love my g2x..just checked the sgs2 but not really into that much, my g2x on Cm7 was faster... The roms are good, I do agree with the lack of tegra support but Meh. Love it..please get one and welcome..
I love my phone.
Excellent performance, excellent display, and excellent battery life. I'm on my 3rd one, but that was because my first one kept locking up, and my 2nd replacement came damaged.
I love this phone, and I wouldn't want to replace it with anything else until the Nexus Prime. ^_^
Absolutely zero problems, love this phone so much. One of the best parts is the glass. It's curved, which makes unlocking it feel really good , and the glass feels really thick and solid. Also NO scratches, coming from an iphone all these things are huge. Loving it.
I feel like this phone can stay up to date with most of the devices coming out right now... On Android, you don't actually need 1GB of RAM... Heck, 512MB is more than enough! I'm gonna hold out until the quad core phones start coming in... If the Nexus Prime is still a dual core, I won't even bother.
I got 99 experiences but a reboot ain't one.
My 1st G2x is running good.
no reboots, no reception issues.
runs great and my app drawer always has at least 200 apps.
lol
I haven't started deving /theming on it yet.
Thanks everyone for you input! Just placed the order for it and cant wait to get. Never dev for any other devices besides moto , so im looking forward to this.
Awesome a new dev!!! Wanna thank you in advance. Good luck

Reboots
My wife and I both have our 3rd G2x (due to replacements of bad phones). The phones we have now are doing well, however we both did experience a random SHUTOFF not reboot. It only happened twice, so I'm just waiting to see if that happens again, really weird.
My G2x is is running great. On my second one due to random shut downs on my first. I only experienced a couple reboots until I got a brand new battery and rooted the phone. Currently running Eagles Blood 2.3.5 others no misshaps. Love it.

This is a great phone. For those of us that have had no problems, the intended impact of the device is evident.
However, you cannot ignore what a lot of people went through. for many, the g2x experience was the worst possible.
LG and T-Mobile appear to have let the phone fade away. Even though its for sale, and can be had for cheap, it no longer appears in comparison with other good phones on the market today. Check the reviews out their today...cnet, etc....The powers that be have let it fade away.
Even DEVs appear to have moved on. Many of the people here a few months ago have moved to other devices. Even saying that, there are some real good ROMs out there...just less people deving them.
In all honesty I have to say, this phone is the best phone I've owned. But in that same honesty, I'd have to say, you may want to consider something else. Even the Sensation is now getting far more press and exposure from T-Mobile than this beauty. There are TONs of ROMs available for the Sensation and some of the best DEVs from the android world are there.
I've recently considered the Bionic....but the VzW pricing plan is just too much. Minimum $100 a month to walk out with a Bionic.
I love the G2x. But if you want long term upgradabiity...you may wish to look elsewhere.
Just my opinion....

No. It just finds it. Maybe not on second one, but 10-20.
Also, I came to G2x from the Bold, which would die in a day with no usage under dead zones. That was a huge problem - I was forced to enable and disable airplane mode all around. The G2x is great in that matter.

I have noticed that a lot of problems happen under the stock ROM or roms based on the stock one.
Flashing something like CM7 or MIUI fixes a lot of problems.

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.

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.

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:
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.

Stop whining and try doing some of the work yourself.

alrighty, teach me to code than. lol
Learning to do some of this coding for the G2x is what I am trying to research now. Just have to keep reading and start playing around. I am way behind the other developers here and I'm not going to learn as fast as I want to but I will try because I love this phone.

Trade it back for mytouch. G2x won't be getting ICS love anytime soon.
Btw, we have very stable GB roms all over the dev forums. What are you talking about? regarding froyo.

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.
