Sorry if its a dumb question, I'm just curious though because I'm on froyo since I cant stand the gingerbread camera.
You do know that you can use gingerbread with the fryo camera right?
And i dont think anyone knows yet. YOu may get a prompt or you may have to go into tmobile and download the zip uodate file. To soon to tell.

Yeah but it has bugs still. Unless they updated it recently? Last time I checked it was still 3.0 and I used it and ffc was jacked up.
im on stock root 2.3.3 and the ffc works fine for me. I have taken a few pix with it and all seems fine.

@PitbullVMX - That depends on how the OTA is formatted. If they do it correctly it should update from either Froyo or GB, but if they do it sloppy (like LG is known for) then it will update from GB only. But you can always use the LG Updater to update and hope it works without any glitches (OTA updates are safer). Not a dumb questions at all. Actually a very good question.
@xile6 - Are you using the LG camera from Froyo or the stock Android camera that came with the 2.3.3 update. They are not the same camera app, not even close.
IF, they do it at all........
some one has some big dreams

LG camera 3.0 The one that has zoom, 4 flash settings, and all the setting. Its nothing like the gb camera from my g2. So im guessing its the lg froyo camera. Been using it for a while and havent had any problems
Try the LG Cam from the 2.3.4 build ported from the O2X. That one might work better, I don't know. I haven't tried; I use HDR Camera+.

Hi guys most of you might find this question silly but there are some of us newcomers who are still getting into this!
So, I rooted my phone, have ROM Manager and CWM Recovery, version 3 and my question is how we're going to update to official GB when it becomes available? Will we do it through official T-Mobile update, or will some of you guys make it available for us?
Thank you all!
Yes...
you should be about to get it either way. If you get the official update you will probably lose root... If you wait a few there will be a rooted version posted by one of the many xda members...

One more dumb question: Why is everybody so excited about the official GB update, when we have right now a few GB leaked versions with some custom ROMs (Bionix from TeamWhiskey, etc... ) available, for which as I hear, many say are excellent? Is this official one gonna be better in any significant way than these custom already out? Thanks! )

It will come with an official GB kernel and hopefully updated battery drivers and A2DP functionality...Amongst other LG fixes (again, hopefully).

OK, I get it... So, all these unofficial GBs are sort of limited because they lack these LG stuff they're (hopefully) putting into the official one. That's why it's smart to wait a bit more.
Hopefully it will fix most or all the problems.

Yes, that's the case. The leak has issues (which makes sense, it's not a finished build), and almost all Gingerbread mods are based on the leak so they have the same issues. I know CM7 is using the Gingerbread source instead and has fixed a lot of the issues, but not all of them.
The official update is not only going to be completely stable (hopefully) but will come bundled with better drivers/kernel support which will fix most of the common issues with the phone (hopefully).
I've gone through an Over The Air update to Android before, and if it's like what I experienced, you're going to get a pop-up that asks if you want to update now or later. Choose later if you want to keep root, someone here will have the official build rooted probably within the hour but definitely within the first couple of days.
In the mean time though, don't be scared of trying out one of the ROMs that are available. I swear by CM7, but I've heard wonderful things about EagleBlood and Ultimate too.

I have heard that official updating the rooted phone could actually brick it? And when a mod is nightly version, does it mean it it not completely stable? I am interested in CM7, but I could not find a stable version on their site.
Thanks!
i have question also since it's related to thread title. i'm running stock right now but rooted. once i update to gingerbread cm7, will i have to install all apps and settings all over? and will call log and stuff like that disappear also?

You should be able to get all of that stuff after startup my hitting the square boxes in the initial setup. Worked for me yesterday with the Eagleblood 2.3.4 ROM, when someone recommended it to me rather than Titaniumbackup which screwed up my phone a lot because I went from Froyo to GB

When I did an OTA update, it kept all of my apps and settings. I can't remember if it preserved call log.

I don't know if it will brick or not, my OTA was not rooted. And CM7 nightlies are NOT completely stable, but they're on build 58 by now and the ROM works perfectly fine. The only issue I can see with the phone is the top bar they added to the notifications menu that has toggle-able settings like WIFI, GPS, etc sometimes doesn't show up and in the camera, it calls both cameras "back" instead of one being "front".
But if you're concerned with stability that much, use the leak or EagleBlood.
I'd love to push the GB update however, why should I have to sacrifice my camera for it? Along with the first update being an epic fail followed withme having to get a second device. If we can push the update and some how keep the 2.2 camera capabilities I down! Ready to beta test the whole nine for the cause......just don't take my beautiful camera.
P.S Is it even worth it? I still prefer my G2x over my Sensation

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to update to the new baseband but everytime I run the fix my phone still says I have the july 2011 baseband. I am running Hellfire 1.8 and I tried to do it the way it says by flashing ROM, FIX, then GAPPS. but to no avail.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I just got finished doing this, WOW the GPS has a fast lock now. Make sure that you flash the BB FIX after you restore you HFP
Guys I cant install the lg update tool. gets stuck around 10% then just stops. Im already having issues and I havent even gotten to the phone part lol help? tried rebooting laptop, running w7 64bit T420 8g RAM. I dont think its my laptop..
UPDATE: added screenshot of where setup gets stuck.
follow this thread. works like a charm. make a backup of your device first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
the steps in this thread will restore a stock gingerbread rom. when that is done, use nvflash and put the stock recovery back on as well
reboot your phone and do the update that way (over the air). look in About Phone under system settings and you will see a menu item at the top called software update (or something similar). use that to update your phone, you will end up with GB 2.3.4 and the new baseband
if you want to use a custom rom, eaglesblood build 4 has support for the new baseband built in or you can use CM7 RC3 or a currently nightly, or you can use either kwes or buru's roms, OR owain has a bb update zip that is supposed to work on any rom
good luck!
Sorry it just turned out that it was my jobs firewall that didn't allow the install to talk to the Lg servers. I got home and it worked so I now am running HFS 1.8 with the new baseband. Thanks for everyone's help on this.

how is your BT and call quality? those are issues on all but the stock 2.3.4 that comes with the new baseband (and the tweaked roms based off it)

The only thing I've tried through BT is tethering, as I dont use a BT headset, which works great. Call quality is clearer but not a huge difference. Data drops less often now though.

Try and get as many people to star that so perhaps the developers won't keep telling us it's "Hit or miss" and not a big issue.
I've had no luck with Bluetooth on new baseband but it works great on the stock 2.3.4 ROM from LG. Loaded with tons of bloatware to slow your phone down again.

i starred it and hope it gets fixed one way or the other and i agree, the new stock 2.3.4 works great and getting rid of bloat shouldn't be a problem however, just yesterday and today while running 2.3.4 my phone would just start getting really hot doing nothing but sitting in the holster, screen off, 4g off, BT off, wifi off, dont understand, but i put cm7 june 10 build on and now it doesnt do that
Yeah, I can run custom ROMs and all is well other than Bluetooth for call audio. My problem is I drive all day and have to use Bluetooth, so I'm stuck on stock
Hopefully it will get fixed.
i updated my phone to 2.3.3 and its camera is totally gone ...now am updated to 4.0.4 still it was not like when i bought my phone ...if anyone has a solution please share..thanks!
You may want to try the new Baseband and 2.3.4. They did some work on the camera and seems to be a bit better. The ISC build's do not have the Video drivers for the camera to function fully.
thanks for your reply...i am new to this mobile terminology as well technology...can u suggest me any url for updating baseband version

If on cm7 flash the LG camera modified for cm7, and if on stock the flash the regular LG camera. It's way better than the stock camera.

I guess try googling it, it should come up. It's amazing as always.
Does the Front camera work with it for skype and such? I know when I used the LG cam for 2.3.3 the front cam did not work correctly
I never use the front camera. You can always nandroid, flash, test, then nandroid back if it doesn't work.

P6210 running stock honeycomb
the new firmware is PDA:LPC/CSC:LPC (xar)
Current firmware is PDA:LA3/CSC:LA3 (XAR)
I was wondering if I should bypass this update (I really don't know what it's for) so I'm not sure if it'll be more of a hassle & if it's going to change some of the customizations I've made (mainly root & GaryD9's read/write sd card permissions fix) or if it'll leave my tablet the way it is & just update the firmware like it should. I decidedI'm gonna wait until the official US ics is released til I update to ics since I've already waited this long. Is this update something you have to have to be able to update to ics? I am hesitant cuz I just hate when you do an update after you have everything absolutely perfect & then an update that's supposed to fix stuff messes other stuff up!

The new firmware is the ICS update.
Hi there.
It looks like we are not getting ICS here in Canada.
Mine 6210 runs HC with HDMI adaptor just fine.
Should I try to apply UK ICS ?
Will I loose HDMI feature?
Thanks.
