problems of the G2x?

thinking of possibly buying a G2x.... but before buying I wanna hear what problems it has and complaints ppl on here have with it unrooted AND rooted. Or is it good enuff to just go ahead n buy.
cause I enjoyed n LOVED my G2 but I kinda wanna try something new which is why I'm looking at this device.

Anyone?

random reboots, battery pulls due to freezing, terrible battery life.
just wait till gingerbread is out then get the phone.

the only problem I've had with my phone is just the gps taking a long time to lock.. Other than I've been problem free and great battery life

My first one was crashing all the time. I just got a new one and it hasn't crashed yet, but the backlight is too intense and bleeds through. Wait for the S2.

Gingerbread Video- what's new in the update

I took the liberty of showing you guys what gingerbread looks like- on video. New features include Android 2.3.4 (but no video chat on G-Talk?), new T-Mo bloatware, quick settings, etc. check it out!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndgl2u2y_8g

Thank goodness YouTube has a mute button.
Thanks for the vid. I could be wrong, but isn't this the first Sense ROM to have Android 2.3.4? Every other version of Sense I've seen has had 2.3.3. Cool!

Thanks I can't wait til this update gets to my phone

thanks for the video

Thanks dude, the update doesn't look like it changed much...They could have at least given us the 3.0 lockscreen and change the dock. I hate that dock...

Thanks for the video nice to see what we are going to get

First, thanks guys! I'm glad you guys appreciate the video, and for the record this is the ROM that was leaked on Monday, but it's the same as the one T-Mo is rolling out
and my screen works fine, it's just harder to use when your making a video the update didn't do anything screen wise

My screen is very responsive running on Virtuous Unity. I noticed that too on the video. I'd hope an update wouldn't make your screen unresponsive. He may not have been touching right those few times. Also, some apps get like that from time to time where they get a little unresponsive

so basically nothing changed like i dont really see a difference looks wise i mean i would rather flash and all so i can get nice themes and all

It's true, when I tried pulling down Quick Settings I was pulling on the MyTouch logo, and other times just too little touch

Turn Around Pt. 2- Flo Rida

I noticed that they changed the camera as well, it now has more effects. The calculator has been tweaked as well. And this may be just me, but the battery life seems better. I'm still in green and usually by now I'm in yellow.

Has there been any issues from the OTA update, other than not being able to root? Has the suspend issue been fixed?

I love the fact it has the "4G" instead of "H"

Market extreme slow.

Is it me, or is the new Market extremely slow in loading apps whether on WiFi or 4G?

Yeah its pretty slow for me too. The new graphical user interface is what I think slows it down, downloading all the new icons and pictures and such.

Its just the same as the old Market for me. When loading the initial page its slower but downloading apps and viewing app pages its the same speed.

Did you guys manually load the APK to get the new market, or did it push automatically to your device?

I've rooted my phone and have the LeeDroid Rom on my Sensation and it comes with it. My normal Vodafone ROM had the old Market on it. I'm actually on T-Mobile and just wanted to get rid of the Vodafone logo!!

Gingerbread update

i personally hate the update.. no changes to the UI or the lockscreen or nothing,... u shouldnt have to D/L other programs just too change the UI, the update should do that.. just my personal opinion

I did the update and I seen a lot of changes Like speed when you install aps they added some more setting and the phone don't lag speed increase
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

The only reason i updated was for gingerbread and quicksettings. Speed-wise it seems to be about the same as froyo.

I agree with you on the speed. Everything seems to fun better. Like browsing cnn.com on desktop mode. Before the update it would lag pretty bad for me while scrolling. Also noticed that using my bluetooth headset works better.
It would have been nice to see changes to the default UI but I am totally happy with the update.

Why would they change the ui?
Take a minute and think about it. How many people have this phone and do nothing to mod it... or have any clue how to.
So... if they changed the ui from what the phone was sold with... do you think the average dumbass human would take the time to learn.... or just take the phone in or call freaking out.
You don't buy a car then expect a new paint job when you took it in for an oil change do you?
Just saying. Topics like this make me want to boat over a dolphin and club a baby seal.

do any of your guys facebook contacts sync with your phone book contact after the update?

lol, facebook won't sync with 2.3.4 facebook refuses to follow the android standard, google gave them a ”grace period” to comply and they haven't so it's not going to work until facebook gets off their high house. I lol because this is really old news, guess you don't follow tech blogs/sites

My facebook sync's just fine on 2.3.4

From what I have read facebook is going to put out their own o/s for phones. I don't see it going very far though.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Mine syncs fine with 2.3.5 too.

Battery life. AMAZING. I would get 10 hours on froyo. 1gb data a month..web browsing YouTube Facebook etc.. hundreds of texts a day. Push email. Take a couple pics a day with flash.sync and auto brightness on. Occasional GPS.
16 hours of battery life. 11am - 3am. Wow. Today I only charged it a little to 65%. I got 9-10 hours from that with the same usage.
If I use it from 7am on, im confident it'll be on low battery at 11pm, rather than after dinnertime.

lucky bastards

Interesting, it shouldn't.. Do facebook contacts appear in your contacts list?

On the MT4G launcher pro is the fastest for me and then it's GO launcher after it, both have no lag for me.

Old market

Hello, my market is the new 3.0something market, how can I go back to the original market? Help!

if you installed the apk, you can just uninstall it from applications otherwise i don't think you can. Even if you do manage to do it it would probably update itself again.

You can download the original apk from here and install it in recovery.
Ciao

i hope they will bring out an update for the new market soon, i think it's pretty pretty slow!

I agree it would update itself. nothing to do

The new market has some nice features, but I agree that out is pretty slow.I noticed that using SSH tunnel speeds up things.probably three amount of DNS requests is pretty high and handled quicker this way not using wifi.anyways a upgrade is really required and I am sure they will speed things in the best future (hopefully).

S-Off AlpharevX 0.2ß
Gingerbreak 1.2
Virtuous Unity v1.31
EXT4Recovery v2.1.3 RC2

Initially i installed new market as soon as it was out via APK and it was a bit painful to say the least. I went back to the old one and gave it a month then the auto update came through and it's been ok since. Must have ironed out the earlier crinkles before final rollout?

I'm still waiting for the auto update. Seems to be a very slow process.

The APK into SYSTE \ APP

I like the old market.

Saw this on XDA today

Have not got the new market yet, but think it looks cool. Maybe you just have to get used to it?

I've given it a week. I couldn't take it any more! I may have been able to overlook the lag, but the added annoyance of the missing 'update' button for new app updates was just too much. Every day having to clear data before updates worked. Trust me the new looks wear thin quickly!
