hello i have a desire hd which i think is a fantastic phone. Now i have rooted using visionary and can put roms on that i choose i found the king rom 1.8 to be nice except for like what i have found on all the gingerbread roms i have tried is that my phone sounds like crap it is constantly feeding back and everyone i speak to complains about this ? i flashed the radio that is suited to the rom but no difference ? not only that but the a2dp bluetooth keeps stuttering which is totally unacceptable considering it was perfect in Froyo. I have not unrooted the phone but using clockwork i could flash back my original rom and voila the phone sounds perfect and my bluetooth is sweet. I consider this to be my best option afterall it is a phone and primarily thats what should work properly. My question is i have recieved notification to download an update which i did but got the little green robot and the exclamation mark in the triangle when trying to boot ? so ive flashed it back to original and all is ok. Is it possible to make my rooted phone load the update properly ? From what i read these standard roms and updates are suppose to be crap but at least everything works. Anyone got any suggestions as to how to get the update to work as i would like to move ahead software wise but at this stage with gingerbreads crappy phone quality and A2DP issues its not worth it.

Hi everyone.
Is it just me? I think this GB update is great. The phone is much faster, much more responsive, doesnt lock up, no wifi issues. Everything is great. I did like the older camera better but i mean comeon why are so many people's main complaint the camera lol.
Im sure we will be seeing more small updates as bugs are discovered just like in any software but all in all im happy with this update, im happy with this phone and I still love it as I did before

It's definitely a zillion times better than the stock ROM, but that's pretty easy to accomplish when your starting reference is absolute rock bottom worthless garbage.
my phone is a lot faster and my battery life is great camera sucks but not a big deal I guess.

Stock rom
Funny thing is my stock rom with Faux OC/UV when set at 1.0 ghz actually is snappier than the tooted Gingerbread OTA with all bloat removed. On Froyo when I would hit the home button over and over it woulp flip from Homescreen to Sense Preview instantly, blazing fast. When I do the same, with the identical ADW set-up the Sense preview lags. I seem to have more bugs with GB than my last Froyo setup.
Another annoyance, when the phone is asleep, when I hit power the display lights up immediately, but before I can get to the Widget Locker slider the display goes dark again. This never happened with Froyo.
Lastly, when in a call with phone to my ear with Froyo if I move the phone from my ear the dialpad woudl appear as if it was using one of accelerometer (or whatever device) to track my movement. On GB the display stays dark. If I hit power to access the dial pad, i.e. to hit an extension, the display again lights, but goes dark before I can hit the numbers.
This is all after a flashing stock froyo, unrooting and installing via the LG updater (which was an adventure as it took forever). After updating reinstalled CWM and flashed Xboarders 1.0 Rooted OTA).
Honestly, if the new baseband works with Froyo, and if someone tells me restoring my pre-GB Nandroid will let me retain the baseband I may just go back as things were really nice in my Froyo set-up.
I know many folks are loving GB, other it is hell, mine is not bad at all, but weird thing is my Froyo experience was actually better. If I can get the baseband on Froyo and the GPS locks with Froyo like it is now I will stick with Froyo.
cant we install a better camera-app?

No, it's not just you. I love the update and i'm quite happy with my phone.
And unlike everyone else posting on this thread, i'm not going to throw in some negative jab at the end either.
Camera app is the biggest let down for me. I've tried other camera apps on market but nothing compares to the lg one

Lol ... the tooted Gingerbread OTA
G2X CM7
Could not agree more. I am super happy with the phone. Extremely responsive and I like the little changes in the looks as well. I also am happy with the darker keyboard.
All around I am happy I kept the phone.
My main gripe is that they were supposedly working on this update for a couple of months. So I just don't understand why the finished product doesn't have the LG Camera app. If this came out back in May, then I'd understand. If this OTA fixes the major software issues, then I'm fine. I do hope we actually get the Ice cream update next year though.
I love the update so far. Snappy, GPS locks instantly, I got to keep all my apps settings and data, and everything works great until now. I was rooted on Eagles's Blood GB, and just updated straight forward, no downgrading, no unrooting. (i did loose root, but hey, they'll crack this baby soon enough)

AFAIK roms and nandroids do not include basebands.

You should be able to use the new baseband on the old froyo rom no problem. There aren't any incompatibilities

Well its not working for me. My phone is freezing a few times a day since the update. I had reboots before the update but never a freeze. I went into my local Tmobile store to check out the Sensation and the My touch 4G slide. The guy working there was shaking his head when I told him I was having these problems even with Gingerbread and he pulls his phone out of his pocket and its a G2X. He says he gets the same thing LOL! My GPS as gone from 3 mins lock to 5 mins to a lock after the update. I have a full upgrade credit but think I will wait for the Hercules in Sept.
I like the update. Works well for me.

It doesn't sound like you're running the stock GB? Also, it sounds like your proximity sensor isn't working, i.e., the phone always thinks your face is up against the phone and immediately turns-off the screen to avoid cheek dialing.
I'm digging the gb update and the new go launcher together. I think the screen looks alot better too. It just seems sharper and more vivid. My wife has the Samsung Exhibit and that is a really nice phone and comparing the two screens together is no competition. The g2x screen is so sharp it looks fake.

No I love it too, people are whiners...
I have recently rooted my Infuse and installed the most recent CM7 Gingerbread ROM. It was smooth sailing and I have been successfully using for about 1 week. I am now encountering popping and crackling noises only on my Bluetooth headset during phone calls making it unusable. This post had some similar comments - (since I cannot post links Google "Static/popping/clicking sound. - Page 2" I have searched this forum and others without finding a solution. I have tried both a Motorola and Plantronics (Voyager Pro +) with the identical problem. I do not beleive it is the BT headset. Has anyone else experience this. Any suggestions for how to troubleshoot? I tried to revert back to the original Froyo Nandroid backup but I get a "Error while flashing boot image!" error so I cannot test to see if the problem exists with Froyo as well and is just an issue with the phone itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This phone rocks!!
iirc cm7 on the infuse has issues with BT, can't help you further though..
maybe you can try the normal return to stock methods?

And there is your problem.
thank you both for the response. I have returned to stock and will try when I get home tonight to see of the issue is resolved. LinuxBozo, am I to extrapolate from your comment that the version is too bleeding edge for a production phone I should try a different version and or ROM? If I so which would you suggest? I would prefer to be using gingerbread over froyo and I really like the feature in CM7. Matter of fact if was awesome aside from the Bluetooth crackling and issue with not being able to remember previously paired BT devices upon reboot.
Thank you
If you want 100%, everything working as advertised on the box, CM7 is not for you. BT is flaky, and very basic right now, with audio (headsets, a2dp) being the most broken. As for something stable, and Gingerbread, you really cant' go wrong with the latest UCKJ4 leak, as it's basically an early look at what stock gingerbread will be. Otherwise, if you want something not so stock, I would say, look at Serendipity7, Sensation or Dlev.
Great feedback. Thank you!!!
Stock rom doesnt have any issues so it was a CM7 issue.

Hello, everyone!
I have a Nexus S from Rogers, Canada.
The Build number is GRK39F
Baseband: I9020AUCKF1
I'm running 2.3.6 and I'd like to know if anyone here has updated to ICS successfully with this phone. I want to force the update but I'm in doubt if it is currently working well.
Anyone?
No official OTA for the I9020A yet, but you could always flash a custom ROM from the development section if you are rooted.
Still waiting for the official OTA for my Nexus as well, but I think I am going to try CM9.
I9020A ICS Update
My experience with the AT&T/US version is that I was on 2.3.5 and would not get any other OTA updates.
I did manually update to 2.3.6 and did not experience issues with it.
I then unlocked the bootloader and rooted. No change to experience.
I then flashed the official full 4.0.3 ROM for the I9020T (at my own risk!) and then flashed a compatible radio and did not have any serious functionality issues, but did experience quite a performance lag.
Based on this experience, my take is that there is much to be done for the official I9020A ICS ROM with acceptable performance, and if you are going to wait for official, you are probably going to be waiting for a while.
I have been very pleased with the performance of a custom ROM dedicated to the stock ICS experience along with the recommended custom kernel. Blazing fast compared to my short experience with the official. I have done this all at some risk, but the XDA community is pretty awesome and with a lot of reading of feedback put me at ease and made it very easy to experiment.
I feel your pain
Same situation as you, forcing the checkin doesn't work because there simply isn't an OTA yet for the 9020a
hope it get's here soon!
Cheers,
JM
Worked for me
I have a Nexus S from Fido and I'm using ICS.
I flashed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20456900&postcount=1
I didn't have to flash a different radio or anything. It all seems to work great. Should be the same for Rogers network.
Hope that helps.
ICS on Rogers 9020A
I did the same as ProfBurz yesterday. So far so good. no issues with battery life of reboots. Having some fun with my work exchange account right now but I'm not sure that has anything to do with this ROM.
My exchange account works
My work email is functioning fine. It didn't work the first few times I tried though. No idea why, I rebooted the phone and it worked.
One thing I notice is my contacts with pictures show up pixelated when someone calls. Wrong image size or something? They look fine in text messaging, just show up enlarged when calling.
I have a i9020a on AT&T and here is my ICS info:
Verision: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: I9020xxKB3
Kernel Version (stock): 3.0.8-gb55e9ac; [email protected]#1
I am also running Nova Launcher (beta 13).
My experience with this has been very good overal. I had some initial problems with data speeds with an earlier radio (can't remember which one), but with the new one (XXKB3) I'm getting about 2mbps down and 1mbps up which is good for the area I am in. I was watching last night at work and I got about 10 hours on a battery and I was only at about 46% then with moderate use (internet job searching some pandora streaming ect).
And just for clarification, this is the 4.0.3 ROM for the I9020T, as mentioned by the_real_nwags.
The few complaints I have are minimal and forgettable, but the app drawer takes a few seconds to open (slight lag), but once your in the drawer everything is silky smooth. The other issue I have is Google Wallet doesn't seem to work. Now whether that is my fault or not I can't be sure . The only other issue I have is while streaming Pandora, sometimes it will get stuck "Loading" the next song, but that usually happens right before a comercial, it normally goes right to the next track without a pause.
There is a slight lag to the system, but nothing horrible... I have used worse. So if your interested in trying ICS, this is a good start. I am thinking about trying a new kernal for increased cpu speeds, but I don't know about that yet.
I have a nexus s i9020A on rogers and as long as you flash a rom with no radio, like CM9 or cyberGR. I also have the AUCKF1 radio and 4.0.3 and all is well make sure to download the auckf1 radio just in case your radio goes wrong somehow. Good luck!

So I plan on flashing weapon for my G2X. It was made for the 2.3.3 baseband. However, I have the zip for the calling fix on my phone....will that be enough to make it work properly on my phone? I saw in another thread that you might need to downgrade to the 2011 BB in order for this ROM to work.
That will get call audio to work but I think Bluetooth calling won't work still
