[Q] Nabbed this from a buddy of mine, brand new... - T-Mobile LG G2x

It's still sealed in the box and I'm wondering if I should even open it. What to expect? There's a lot of horror stories surrounding this thing, including it not getting ICS support. What are your thoughts?
My first forum post, be nice. lol

Do you have anything to lose from opening the box and using the.phone? If not then open it and flash a rom of your choice and if you are feeling lucky then flash a kernel to overclock that beast and you will never turn back.....trust me.

The only horror stories we've had was a horribly written stock software. There is also nothing saying we will or we won't be getting ICS. LG said the O2x (the G2x's brother) would not be getting it because it was released before the Upgrade Agreement to keep phones updated; the G2x was released afterwards and they haven't mentioned it.
It is a nice phone. Very sexy. Very powerful.

Beware!!!!

Send it to me for free. I'll take it off your hands for you.

Well if it's yours without question, you could always sell it on Craigslist or Ebay for $200 and put that towards a ICS phone.
But for me, the phone is freakin' sweet, takes AMAZING pictures, and chews up games. It ain't worth selling for $200 though IMO. Just the ability to play Playstation 1 (or N64 or other) games using a DS3 wireless controller via HDMI to your TV is worth it.
Even without cell service, you can do lots of pretty cool things with it that are worth the money in my book. Hell even just using it as a dedicated internet device in the bathroom is worth it.

do not break the seal, a monster will processes you a rest of your life

There's just a bunch of whiny little kids on this forum. How many more ICS threads are we going to see? How many phantom reboot threads? ad infinitum.
There is nothing wrong with this device. It's the best I've ever owned, and well worth the price.
Dual core processor IN A PHONE??? You gotta be kidding me.
This thing frigging rocks. Dismiss the whiners and be encouraged by the awesome devs and teams here.
Mess around with it, and unlock the staggering potential of this thing.

we are getting ICS lg confirmed it even if it was for the o2x (the same phone) so yeah..

LG didn't say O2X. They said the Optimus 2X. Our phone is an Optimus 2X. T-Mobile renamed it G2X for marketing purposes. O2X is something made up by users and devs to distinguish it from the G2X so people are not confused.

Well a free phone is a free phone... and an awesome one at that. Like previously said, crack it open and jump in. You're not using up an upgrade or extending your contract so what is the hurt?
Resell value sucks. It's better put to use.... plus if I gave a brand new phone to someone and they sold it for cash... I'd want the cash. Kinda a kick in the balls to sell it and pocket the money.

LG ... secretly discontinuing the g2x?

So ... just went on lg website and was confused why the g2x is no longer listed in the smart phone tab. In fact the only place its listed is when you click "all phones". Its weird because all other phones pale in comparison even the " new" revolution ( single core snapdragon) is like a total step backwards. Any thoughts why? Me personally, I love my g2x and will probably keep it for the length of my tmo contract.
"If Satan lived in heaven he'd be me... "
It's still on the site though. That's a pretty wild assumption to make just because it's in a different category than you'd expect.
I highly doubt LG is secretly discontinuing their flagship phone a few months after launch.
I don't think they will discontinue their greatest phone.

business is business, release it, let it stay in the limelight for a while then move it other so something else can get attention. All about the $$$
That has been like that for a while now. When I first went to LG's site to look at the phone back in mid May it was hard for me to find it on their site. I'm not sure why it is not listed in the Smartphone category unless it is just an oversight by those who manage the website.
Perfectly said. With the giant like Samsung Galaxy S II around the corner, once the SGSII is released it will age the current phones dramatically.
LG has to keep up with the times...particularly in the design department. You hold up the G2X against the HTC Sensation and even the SGSII (although it is simple it is very elegant) it makes the G2X look like grandpa.

OC to 1.7 ghz.
Bigger screen.
I was thinking about grabbing a gs2 when it hits here. Depends on what the T-Mobile flavor ends up being (Hercules?) But only if its a significant difference between that and their international version.
Next phone I'm gonna end up getting is probably gonna have a quadcore. I think im future proofed enough.
@OP T-Mobile also took it off their website "Supply restraints." and there was also a leak from tmonews that it'd be going up in price to 300 on contract.

If anyone thinks LG won't drop support of their flagship phone, you should look at what they did with the Expo (Monaco) when it was released.
I checked their website. It flashes the G2X when you open their Smartphone screen, then disappears. If you go to All Phones - it is there.
Maybe they are trying to tell buyers it is not "smart" to buy one right now as a smart phone - lol.

By Tmo rep you mean a CSR that you got on the phone?
They don't know **** from brownies.
Well it doesn't look good for the g2x. This is kind of an update to my original post. My woman's phone finally went suck-mode. It will now, not stop re-booting itself or do the screen freeze. At least 8 or more times a day. So I call tmo, which in itself was disappointing trying to charge me 20$ restocking fee or whatever they labeled it. Not to mention the Rep tried to play dumb saying tmo was unaware of the 'big 3 " issues. She later admited they did know, they just weeny ready to make it official. Anyways long story short I finally get the fee wave and she's about to tell how long the back order iswhen she says " oh... looks like its been pulled.
Me: the g2x?
Tmo Rep: yes. But don't worry you'll still get yours.
How can a company be allowed to
A. Either deliberately tell there employyees to decieve the customers on information such as known problems or issues or
B. Have such an incompatant workforce where each employee makes up their own answers.
I'm gonna go down with the ship I guess. I'm never gonna trade myg2x in. Untilled it starts messing up which I hope is never.
BTW the womans phone is pure unmolested stock no root.

They won my heart back after there recent move which showed just how much they want to be involved in Android development. I think right now Samsung has the best display technology out there and in my opinion they make the best looking LED's and LCD's. They also managed to squeeze more power out of a dual core mobile CPU than anyone else has and if you remember, they also managed to squeeze more power out of a single core mobile CPU (Hummingbird) than anyone else. They have there problems just like everyone else. I haven't seen a perfect phone yet from any manufacturer. I don't know about everyone else but I have no problem supporting a company that is going to give a SGSII to the Cyanogen team so they can start developing for it. It would be stupid on my part to write off the company who sells more mobile phones per year than anyone else.

Who would of thought that Samsung would have gone from goat to hero so quickly. It wasn't too long ago that people wanted their heads for froyogate. However atm, they are the most dev friendly company out there. I would have no problem supporting them in the future. That being said, one of my colleagues owns a SGS2 (on the AT&T network) and while on paper it's a beast, in reality I really couldn't discern a real difference between the sgs2 and g2x.

Yes, I will be going after the Hercules providing it doesn't have a Quallcom or Tegra 2. Samsung is innovating more than any other Android manufacturer right now and I will give my money to them for it. At this point their making some of the best displays, best mobile memory and best CPU's. They have also been updating like crazy lately.

I'm always looking for the next greatest, but I think I'll stick with my G2X until the nexus 3 launches. This LG nonsense has taught me to stick with pure google cause manufacturers can be counted on for ignoring you after the sale.
Knowing about the AT&T take over, my plan was to buy a G2x outright and then use my upgrade within a year to lock me in to a price point.
I don't know about the Hercules. Sure it is a nice phone but a side step mostly. Kinda like the Nexus one to the nexus S. Both the G2x and SGS2 are great phones but neither warrant an upgrade over the other.... at least not worth paying money for. As a free upgrade I'd take one but not for another $200 or so.
I'll probably wait until after the new year and see what becomes available. My G2x is a beast of a phone and I have zero issues with it.

Hell to the yes. Although I bought the Sensation right out of the gate and was so underwhelmed, I might give it a couple weeks to see if there are any major issues. But I've been having creamy dreams about the herc since I first heard the rumors of it.

What am I crying about? What does having money or selling phones have anything to do with what I said? If that comment was meant towards myself, I held onto my G2X months after getting my Sensation and I still have my Nexus One. I sell my old phones after realizing I have no real use for them.
Thanks for proving my point though. I knew someone would. And by the way. I still have my G2X since the only jack ass who bid on the phone was a user with zero feedback and still hasn't paid. Looks like nobody even wanted it for $280. I may have overpriced it! At this point Ill probably just hold onto it if nobody here wants it. What's the point of selling it when I'm going to take a $300 hit. If that's the case, ill just keep it so I can still play the Nvidia games.

Here in the house ill be struggling with this personally. I came from the iPhone then captivate(swore last purchase EVER from Sammy) then nexus one then mytouch4g then nexus s then s4g then g2x. Now that being said. I still use the g2x my wife uses my nexus s and I kept the s4g around as a spare. Oh I forgot the HTC hd2. I have a real issue going to Samsung again. The captivate reallllly soured me and the nexus s was not a.large upgrade IMO over current market phones when it arrives. Its value was Google.
The debate for me is Hercules power or nexus 3 which is very likely to be Samsung produced as well but will at least be Google updated.

As far as i've see some people are getting the sensation 4g as a replacement, and sadly because it hit EOL, there will be no more updates supported by T-mo.
LG can still release updates, but they won't be official, and as far as we all know there won't be updates from LG either.
And that is it, no more LG products for me.

People that are members of XDA shouldn't really be upset with this news. The G2 and MT4G hit EOL like 6-8 months after release and look at how those two phones are doing. Dev and ROM's are still steadily being pumped out on those two phones.
I know we don't have that many devs but the this news doesn't affect oru phone in any way considering we mod it to our liking anyways. Plus I never expected LG to update this phone to ICS, and if they did, would probably take more than 6 months. We'll just have to rely on the CM team like most phone modders do. We'll be fine.
I agree, its just the way android phones are. If people quit buying phones that arent worth buying in the first place, they would be forced to put out way better phones and eol would take longer to happen. Its just a gimmick to get consumers to spend more cash look at the sensation, sensation xl, amaze 4g. All basicaly the same phone with slightly different specs yet we the consumers spend the cash and continue to let these greedy companies make subpar phones not worth an upgrade to. I didnt choose the g2x hoping lg and nvidia would support it, xda already does that!

I would say it's more perceived obsolescence, since the device still functions just as good as it did on day one.
I'm pretty upset about this though. Granted I got this device for free...but I'm already kinda tired of it.
I am not sure I understand. Does EOL status affect the quality or use of the phones we already? Does it suddenly make the phone unusable? Does it stop anyone to get his phone fixed under warranty?
EOL just mean they are not selling it any more. Not abandoned support-wise. Also if they are not going to update it to ICE, stay out of EOL doesn't change it any better anyway.
FYI. The car you are driving is probably EOLed, too. So are most appliances in your home.
I'm with a lot of people in here so far, this doesn't bother me at all. Even if there is no official update to ICS then we will still have it eventually anyway. My G2x more than likely isn't going to die before I upgrade to something better later this year anyway...

Why all the hand-wringing? It's not like this is completely unexpected. How many here are runing the tmo stock rom? I would bet not many.
ICS will be here soon enough. My question is if the phone is EOL, would LG and/or Nvidia be more likely to release the needed bits and pieces our devs so badly need? It is "old" technology now so maybe that is a possibility.
I guess if I had to have ICS today I could always pull out my battle tested HD2.
Think of it this way guys - this makes your G2X a rare gem in the android world.
I havent even had the phone that long(got it oct 2011), but its been bugging me since a week or having it. random reboot and shutdowns. Freezes ect.. Doesnt matter what rom oe kernel same problem. I believe the phone is overheating or the chip things its overheating and is locking up/ shutting down.
But its time to lay this phone to rest. Im moving on to a galaxy s2 in 2 months.
I believe this phone would have lasted longer if it didnt have the problems it has and if lg released the source code for updates.

See, I'm not too upset with LG. Admittedly, the G2x isn't the best phone. I won't be the fanboy to indefinitely and baselessly defend LG, NVidia, or their products. But I think a lot of the bad rep the the three have gotten is a little picky. My phone is blazing fast, even faster than my old Sensation, has absolutely superior build quality, screen is great, dev community is pretty decent, etc. I understand people dislike NVidia and LG for their support and that's totally understandable. I've been a huge fan of my G2x; I've had ZERO issues since I bought it. No screen bleed, nothing.
You can count me in on this X3. I own a number of LG products. Hell, I even swapped my flat screen when a newer model came out. LG always improves upon their products, no matter how ****ty the first model. I've been more than content with my G2x and I'll trust LG on their next device. If the dev community suffers because of their negligence, however, it'll be on to the GN.
Ehhh. No im not going to get a device which will be EOL'd in less than a year. The G2X hasnt been around for a year since the release and they eold it before the samsung viberant if im correct. Im buying samsung or htc next.

I've been a huge fan of my G2x; I've had ZERO issues since I bought it. No screen bleed, nothing.
You can count me in on this X3. I own a number of LG products. Hell, I even swapped my flat screen when a newer model came out. LG always improves upon their products, no matter how ****ty the first model. I've been more than content with my G2x and I'll trust LG on their next device. If the dev community suffers because of their negligence, however, it'll be on to the GN.

I just can't believe how easy it was for them to give us a poop update to 2.3 instead of just revamping and fixing the little issues that 2.2 had (mainly data issues for me) I didn't have many issues either and my phone is incredibely dast, faster then my friends Amaze 4G, not overclocked. I want to root his phone and put AOSP on it, he isn't down lol. I just like the metal feel of most HTC phones, and the fact that they put out minor patches and seem to care about their phones that they put out. The G2X needs multiple little patches that has been ignored, LG states over and over that our phone 2X series line will be updated, I want stability over all not major upgrades. the whole time they working (5-7 months on ICS they could put out little patches for 2.3.... #HUGERANT lol
Laughing My Arse Off! They said they learned from their mistakes!
I learned from my mistake!
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
I wouldn't buy an lg gun to shoot myself with. Jk this might be worth a try as a second phone.

I feel the same, I was on the fence on the G2X, I had zero consumer confidence in LG at that time, I was also pressured when the phone was released as my wife was waiting for my MT3GS, I really wanted to wait for the sensation, waiting now for the next good HTC phone to release or possible Nexus if it comes to Tmo

What's wrong with a quad core clocked @ 1.2GHz? You do realize how fast that is, right?
So the problems double.

No, No it can only get better they promised they have learned from their multitude of mistakes and will put out a top quality product this time.

Why believe them? They would do more for their crappy reputation if they just updated their existing dual core phones now to ICS. The LG X3 is just another scam. Promises, promises, promises, all broken. No more confidence in LG which sucks big time. BTW, Americans and Canadians gave their lives to prevent the Communists from taking over South Korea so that capitalism flourishes in S. Korea so that companies such as LG can exist. LG is a despicable company dishonouring the sacrifices of Americans and Canadians and the virtually free trade which S. Korea enjoys accessing the North American market which it doesn't appreciate. I have an uncle who volunteered for the U.S. army during the Korea conflict and he says that the sacrifice wasn't and isn't worth it because S. Korea plays the trade game one way, their way only, because they don't allow the same access to their market as North America does. Shame on LG for abusing us.
Now I for one would say LG dropped the ball on the g2x however look back to Samsung's and HTC's first phones. All of these companies dropped the ball on there phones. Hopefully LG will understand the higher demand for support for there higher end phones. This was there first attempt in this higher end android market. They failed but so did HTC and Samsung.

Best place to sell you phone?

Ive been reading many people saying that they are going to sell their g2x and buy a different phone. Now ive seen new phones at like $500-600. Now im getting the feeling that I should sell my phone when i get the chance. So how can i get the most for it?

There's no real way to the most from it. Phones only get old and outdated. There's no pre determined value for what the phone is worth 8 months after release to compare its selling and buying price.
Things you can do to sweeted the deal is to include accessories
Or check out CeX if there's one in your area. They will give you more store value than cash.

I usually see how much they go for on Craig's list and use that as the average and sell accordingly.
Okay thank you for the advice.

hello well here is the deal first alot of folks dont like the g2x well they dont like lg due to lack of support of for the device with updates to os and such. that being said i love mine and my setup.
the best places for you to sell it for a reasonable price would be craigslist , ebay , gazzele and pretty much in that order for you to get the most money.
honestly though if you do some modding to the device and take time to tune it it will out perform most other phones out there now imo
hope it helps
There's a website called Swappa that will buy gently used Android devices. They will give you a quote online. You can buy used devices there too.
If I were you, I'd check Craigslist. If not, I'd definitely sell it on eBay, I would just let people bid on it and see how high it'll go. Definitely with a reserved price too.
But like someone mentioned before, there is no real way to get the most money out of your phone, it depends on how much your buyer knows too.
Okay, thanks. I was just curious. Not very serious about it because i love this phone. But my mother is having problems with hers even after installing custom roms and kernals.

In my past experiences of looking up prices of the G2x, a like new condition G2x for T-Mobiles was always around 200-250, the unlocked ones are usually 270-350, assuming that it's in a like new condition.
What if i have one thats Like NEw un opened accessories, screen protector + case since day 1 :3 but mine is from canada :/ i was thinking of getting a sensation. I mean i love this phone and all, but the camera ... MIUI has made me love android. Its like the best features of iphone and best features of android + more in one phone i love ips, and my phone on stock miui gets a higher quadrant than on my cousins Amaze 4G (he averages around 2500 with stock and with custom roms, i average around 2800-3200 with stock cm7.2 kernel :3) and the design imo is nicer on the g2x.
