when is the potential update supposed to be started?
Here we go again. Lol. Besides we need a 4.0 update, forget anything with a 2. in front of it.
But I hope they have the LG cam in that update.

You cannot believe anything a TMO rep or store clerk says. They are not in the know and usually are just making stuff up.
I just received the update! It's 2.3.7! It's called CyanogenMod!

Doubt it, because several users received DWP models... They were refurbs.
(Sorry for hitting thanks, I missed the reply button)
I also heard from a Rep a month ago they were putting an update out that had the LG can in it.... Yea ok... Also my phone is dwp so I figure lets see ... My sons in the navy til 2014 .... yea ill get the update summer 2017... yea that sounds right ...
If there was a 2.3.4 update it would be on the LG Updater, which it is not. You believe in Santa Claus too?
My brothers myt4g had the 2.3.4 update I think a few months ago... And WE with the newer "FIRST DUAL CORE PROCESSOR PHONE" get 2.3.3 .... What the hells up with that... And this phone has all kinds of bugs... I'm on my second phone, while it is better than the first still has screen bleed at the top corners, reception is buggy all the time stock or custom ... but just got tired of arguing with tmo.

You should consider yourself lucky. No other 2X variant worldwide has received Gingerbread yet. They are still stuck on Froyo.
Hope you enjoy it, because I have been on 2.3.7 for the past three weeks. The only updates that I need to know about now are from the CyanogenMod team.

Not to add fuel to the fire, but it's really hard to take a post seriously when spelling and grammar are SO screwed up that I feel like I'm reading a combination of leetspeak/English second language/verbal diahrea.

Just went to the local store and was going to by a g2x for my wife out of stock while I was there, guess who a LG REP I probed her for questions did not answer me why no longer on sale, could not tell me but she did assured me that LG will. Be pushing an update VERY SOON.. what ever that means
P.s. she was not as hot as the LG girl

watch t-mo will probably say hey you can trade in your g2x for the new sensation. and watch everyone get pissed cause of the locked bootloaders and tmo will be laughing their asses off

Do you think there will be 2 updates: one to fix the current issues and the other Gingerbread, or 1 update that combines the two? I hope it's both. Right now my phone is on it's way here. I will test to see if I have the same problems as others have.

Update is any day now...they pulled the remaining stock because of two reasons...
1. QC issues with the first few batches
2. The update will need to be applied OTA so it proly makes more sense to do that in house then sell the phones....
these are my OPINIONS, btw...I know I come across as like I know something, but I'm actually an idiot...do not listen to me

I hear you. I want to keep the G2x. I hate HTC Sense. I don't want the Sensation or any other phone or I would of waited. They need to send out a major update ASAP to fix all the software issues. As far as screen bleed. Replacement with a new batch if LG fixes ?

Weirdly enough my backlight bleed resolved itself. It was pretty bad now its not there at all. I agree it needs to be fixed and I think they're just processing the boatload of returns they got on the device.
And the Sensation is a rather large downgrade from the G2x... The Snapdragon's graphics capability is less than half what the G2x pulls stock, let alone when overclocked. I'd leave T-Mobile if they tried to force a Sensation down my throat.
Me too lol I would not take a sensation at ALL!

Oh, I don't want the Sensation either. If I did, I would have already returned the G2X and used my Vibrant until then. I am sticking to what I said before and that is, I feel that the G2X is the better device that will hold me over until Tmo gets there SGSII variant. I have wanted that phone since I saw it.
I made my comment because I don't think T-Mobile would ever take our devices back, give us a different phone and discontinue the G2X completely. Thats a serious loss of revenue. No company in there right mind would do that. The most T-mobile will do is replace our phones with working ones from a new batch.
They can have my g2x.... when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. I ain't gonna update ****. My phone works perfectly. Even though I was a bit disapoonted with the can boasting 8mp and have suck ass features this phone rocks. I hope those who do have issues get some justice though.
"If Satan lived in heaven he'd be me.... "
Would anyone be able to link the post regarding the g2x being pulled? I'm just getting into the android world and the g2x is my first android device and I love it. I can't even find a example of the screen bleed everyone is talking about.
Guess I don't have the issue since I love my screen, but the constant radio bounce is annoying, so is the phone turning off in the middle of the night and not waking me when it's time to go to work. But that had only happen once.

Hi guys,
Nothing scientific about my theory, but I dont think we will see an update until after the sensation comes out. T-Mobile knows there are a great number of people annoyed with the bugs the G2x has, and some of these people might be willing to jump to the sensation.
If the G2x update came out prior to the sensation release, it might actually hurt sensation sales because G2x satification would rise.
Just a thought, could be totally wrong.

the g2x is tmobiles flagship phone... you really think they are stalling the update on purpose?
i dont see how it would hurt sensation sales anyway, the phones are so different... i didnt want to wait for a sensation because of many other reasons...
The GB update comes out in the summer, which isn't here yet (6/21).
The sensation is out before so your theory is "true" one way or another.
Wait... what?
T-Mobile already made their money for the people who bought the G2x. A lot of people who will jump ship will still be within they're return period in which case Tmo doesnt make any more money off that same person buying the sensation.
Of course there are those who will jump ship outside of their return period, selling their G2x themselves. In that case tmo does make a little extra cash but I doubt their counting on that. I dont think the update has anything to do with the pending G2x release.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tmo's real money maker is the monthly plans. They care not about selling this device or that device or delaying this update or that update on purpose.

LOL, I have seen this play out several times on the Nexus One Forum.
1. After several days of people posting about checking and several faults alarms.
2. Someone will actually get the up-date and not know enough to do a logcat.
3. More reports and claims of faults alarms, then screen shots will start.
4. Finally someone will actually post a link to the update.zip
5. Then a bunch of Noobs jump the gun, flash update, and loose root and custom recovery.
6. After a couple of hours someone competent will create a rooted, deodext Rom that can be flashed from recovery without bloat and everyone can be happy
Patience is key

rofl. I love it.
To me, it can make sense to wait or to just release it. They obviously have a brand new phone that needs an update. That is hurting them, money wise, more then just releasing the update.
Although you may have people hold out for the Sensation. Either way you have some people who have a G2x now, looking to buy a G2x or Sensation, and some who got pissed, sold the phone, and moved to Verizon.
I always believe to fix the problem as soon as possible. The longer it goes on the deeper the cuts.
My G2x is fantastic though on CM7. So while I may benefit from the update indirectly, I'm not sitting by watching the clock for it.

IMO they were delaying gingerbread update and saving it for June 15th mainly because they do not want most of the G2X users to go to stores on 15th and exchange their G2X with Sensation. They would want to sell Sensation to the new customers not unsatisfied G2X users. It's just a theory though. I just wish they release GB soon.
I am so excited!!!! Tomorrow I will be checking my phone the whole day!
I will call T-Mobile and see what they say about the update,
Thanks for letting us know
i know i agree cuz i said why are you guys dropping both the same day and she said she didnt know lol, i was skeptical at first but after everything she said like temporarily disable task killer if u have one idk all makes sense, dude she was reading everything off to me from her computer screen she said, she was like some people were complaining about there phone shutting down and rebooting at times, she said the update will fix it, so lets see what tommorrow brings boys

From my experience, the level 1 techs don't know a whole lot, even about updates. Probably need to talk to someone in the Android tech dept.
I'll believe it when I see it...
T-Mobile more than likely is informing their G2x customers that the update is coming on the 15th to shut us up. I highly doubt the we would get the update before the European customers get theirs - they have had their devices a couple of months before we in the states got ours and they have still not seen an update. At this point I wouldn't trust a word T-Mobile says.

Just a friendly little anecdote for you. Do with it what you will...
I worked tech support in a call center for a large mobile provider and was terminated for posting on forums after they managed to link me to some posts I had made. They did this by monitoring network traffic in the building, which lead them to my computer since I was posting them while at work. I was fired for the content of the posts, although they were all completely harmless, such as your post. They felt I was divulging proprietary information.
For a long time I kicked myself for posting on the forums with my work computer, but really I should have been kicking myself for posting at all, from any device. In the end, just ask yourself if the risk is worth the reward.
Now, the bright side of this, 6 months later I landed a great job as a network admin for a great company.
Oh and about that company I used to work for, their name started with a T and ended with a Mobile.

I think you're missing the bigger point here. As I said in the post, the conclusion I made in the end was that it really wasn't worth it to post at all, regardless of where I was posting. They could just as easily linked me to the posts using other methods, such as overhearing something, or someone tattling. Or maybe I became facebook friends with someone on the forums, and they reported me. There are plenty of ways.
Nevertheless, I did say to do what you will with the story. But seriously, consider the whole risk vs. reward part of it. What are you really getting out of posting small bits of 'insider' information? Probably not much. And believe me, I didn't think I was divulging anything proprietary, but it didn't matter what I thought. My posts were almost identical to yours. I wish someone had said this to me back then (even though I landed a better job in the end).
Anyhow, good luck to you. You probably won't get burned like I did, but as they say... **** happens.
Can someone explain why a rooted phone will not work with the OTA? Is having CWM also an issue? What do I need to do to prepare my phone before the update arrives?
I also do not understand why TMo would not publish the update on their site like they do with all the windows phones.

Absolutely right. I later learned that I wasn't the first to be terminated for posting, and I'm sure I won't be the last.
In my last comment I mentioned that I wish someone had given me this bit of 'advice' long ago, but come to think of it, someone pretty much did. I distinctly remember someone replying to me one day and saying that they know other employees had gotten in trouble for posting. I brushed it off just like this guy/gal.
Just trying to pay it forward

You need to revert back to stock for the update. This is because the update is designed to build on the stock OS, not whatever you have on your phone. As far as rooting it and leaving it stock, not sure what the root does to block the ota.

I can't be positive, but perhaps its not so much rooted as flashed with another ROM. I've heard of rooted phones being updated. I've not heard of cooked ROMs being updated.
But, I know nothing for sure.
I don't know if this means anything other than what it says. But I have tried to connect to get software update and it keeps giving me the old can't connect at this time message. Could it be that the servers on their end are overwhelmed with others trying to do the update if it is indeed out?
And another question...I am not a T-Mo suscriber. I use Simple Mobile. Would the update get pushed to my G2x or would I have to manually install it? Thanks
Thanks guys. I am running rooted stock and stayed that way on purpose so I could get the update. I also stayed stock because my phone runs like a champ. Never had a reboot and everything works as intended.
You are probably better off waiting a few days to let our developers get a hold of it anyway.

The update won't get pushed to Ur phone. Only T-Mobile customers will get the push.

When there are 'Official' releases to multiple carriers, then each carrier would get a push, based on their own agreements with LG. If the phone is a regionally sold phone, also called unbranded, a push is made to them also. Most commonly, you see the unbranded phones get the update first, since the carrier testing does not have to be done.
But, in reality..it is all a crap shoot....so you're still waiting, no matter what.
Anyone have any solid information on this though? There are just too many threads of "I just heard the GB update..." with no solid ROM information or even a picture.

No biggie, I can wait for it to show up on the LG or TMO website and download it. This probably is another false alarm anyways LOL.

Yeah, most likely this is a false alarm. I just hope this long awaited update will fix the GPS (takes forever to lock). That's the only issue I have with mine. I don't have random reboots or overheating like others do.

So, I was wondering....where does one go to get 'solid' information? We're here in a community forum, using fake names. More than half of us can't vote, work in a burger king or in college. We all have a tendency to read and search and google/bing about the G2x.
I for 1 couldn't tell solid information from rumor. I will say this though...if the information you have, comes from Twitter, Android Police, TMONEWS, or anything with a 'Forum' in front of it....its a rumor. If your great news starts with, " I just talked to a TMobile CS...." its a rumor. If you just talked to your friend, who works in a store or is a TMobile CS agent, its a rumor.
You'll either get an OTA on your phone, and recieve the update which you can prove with a screen shot. Or you'll plug into the LG support tool and update, which you can validate again, with screenshots...
All else is rumors. Please post all rumors in the HTC Sensation forum...where they are living the dream.
Go to any forum and they complain about the update... Every single phone I've had... People want it, but expect no issues lol.... No green status bar? Oh no, lol. Imo the rom rocks, especially gps and signal...
Thanks lg. I love this phone...
fix for green status bar
well unfortunately people are going to ***** about anything and everything especially since forums like these give complainers and whiners a voice to do so. some of the thing people ***** about with their phone is out right silly like i saw one person complain that it was about .5 sec lag on his phone and wanted the dev to fix it.
I agree. So far, the update has fixed all of my complaints about the phone. No more wacky battery readings, GPS is very fast (faster than any phone I've had before), and I get about 7.4 megs down over 4G. The only bug I've noticed is that, when disabling/enabling WiFi, the screen will become unresponsive until I hit the back button. Strange, but I'm also using Go Launcher which may be causing the problems.
LG finally delivered and we've got the two "big names"--CM7 and MIUI--on the G2X as well. I have no regrets about buying this phone.

God forbid a consumer would want to hold a corporation responsible for putting out a sub-par product. I guess we should all just baaa like sheep and follow the leader.

The way I see it is your suppost get what you payed for and not settle for almost as good.

The G2x is a stock gingerbread phone. Stock gingerbread has a status bar that changes to green when connected to Google services, is it that big a stretch to expect that feature? But that is far from a big deal, the main gripe seems to be that LG has been presumably working on this update since before launch, and the best they can come up with is a slightly updated baseband? No updated kernel? Reports of people still having problems (though not as severe) since the update?
The problem with waiting this long to update is that people expect major improvements. Hell, I was halfway expecting 2.3.4 for taking this long. Say what you want about HTC, but they usually release at least multiple bugfix ota's for their phones within the time it took LG to release 1.
I don't see it as whining as much as failure to reach expectations. Besides, even if it was, isn't this thread just whining about the whiners?

i do miss the camera too but if i was one of those people that had the reboot and freez issues i say eff the cam and fix the issues ....man i member when i had the vibrant it was so buggy and they didnt put the update till even longer than lg did...... i mean i had my rooted by that time but unrooted people didnt really get the update for a long while.......im sure someone will get the camera issue to gb worked out ....theres actually a post about that in here somewhere.........
I'm one of the few around here that doesn't do too much complaining, but this update is bs! As miniscule as this update was... It should have been out.

Ya it was ok, but again I'm sure a dev one day will figure it out. Although the camera had nice options it was slow.
And for all we know it was causing mad issues they couldn't iron out..

exactly, vibrant was forever long for a update. And it was again, the same, not perfect, either was the n1 updates. Regardless there will always be bugs like the green signal bars which xboarders already fixed.
I had the Green Status Bar Fix up a few days ago... It's in the "Themes" section.
See this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186834
How do you spend 3 months on an update that breaks more crap than it fixes??! I'm going to have to wait until CM7 gets A2DP - if and whenever that will be.
