This phone has issues. Tmo says no calls lately?

I had to call tmo today to order a 3rd set of g2x.
Reboots and freezing have gotten out of hand.
I had a Rep tell me they have not gotten calls about the issues recently and thought they were just about ironed out.
I got a real bad retention agent who basically said go elsewhere.
Really. But even she was better than Verizon.
I called back about my bill and got a great agent who read the notes from retention I think as she knew we both were having issues.
The transfer went from customer support to loyalty.
Loyalty sent 2 new phones out today. Same day.
This will be our 3rd set of g2x.
Tmo claims call ins are down. Complaints too.
I hope these phones work or we will have to look at sensations.
We love the phones. Not the problems.
And don't want sensations.
Why the heck is tmo not getting the galaxy s2?

Did you try factory data reset ?
That seems to work on some of the phones that are having reboot problems.
I'm on my 3rd G2X and the only problem I've had with all 3 is poor data reception
at my work location. (while the MyTouch 4g does just fine there)
I returned my phone to TMo for a refund over a week ago but Craigslist
got to me in when I saw a G2X for $260 so I'm back.
Too bad this phone is only capable of 14mbps.
I'm definitely down for getting a Sensation though.
I'll just get one off Craigslist.
Anyone see anywhere what speed the Sensation can do ?
TMo will doubtless get the Galaxy S II, dont worry.
The Sammysung Hawk is going to be 21 mbps buts it not dual core.

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and was aware that the backlight bleeding is not a known issue. Although they always seem to take care of me. Shout out to John.

Yeah I did the volume down and power. Also from settings.
I love the phone. I just think its a shame it has such issues.
The sensation looks good but imagine how long updates may take with all that extra stuff in sense
I am a fan of touchwiz. I don't know why. But after my vibrant I'm sketchy on relying on Samsung for updates.
And I hate kies.
But the gs2 looks so damn good I'm not sure you would care about the update

I've read in 2reviews the g2x outperforms the galaxy s2 in games and playing flash.
So I would like to keep it if I can get one that works right
And with a better gpu shouldn't the g2x run smoother over all?

My phone has some hellacious troubles with lost signal. I did the GB leak update, but that didn't take care of it. I drove from my house in Chicago to one of the burbs to check out a Sammy Charge from Verizon and the phone lost signal at least a half dozen times. On the way back, the Charge didn't lose signal once. Don't know if it's faulty software when it transitions from "4G" to lower speeds, bad radio driver or bad antenna design. This is basically a good phone, but dropping calls when I'm driving is simply not acceptable when my N1 and now the Charge don't have the problem, driving the exact same routes.

This is simply false. The Orion is 1.2 Ghz which is why the OS feels snappier. Android doesn't use the GPU for accelerated graphics except in a few apps. Honeycomb is the first OS that really pushes GPU acceleration.
Go on Youtube and compare 3D games between both phones and see which one lags out and stumbles to keep up. Hint (it isn't the G2x)

Why do people keep swapping phones?!?!? Seriously? There hasn't been any new OS updates from T-Mobile/LG so you're not going to get a different software experience. I am waiting for an update - if the update doesn't fix it then I can say it's a faulty hardware. Also the leaked GB is useless as it uses the same baseband and kernel as our current system. If you flash Cyanogenmod and still get reboots then you might have a faulty phone as that's a completely separate kernel.

G2x update

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

that was a bit un-necessary eh? you can see the "add to cart" button is greyed out. it's pretty much confirmed. The phone is no longer, for the moment at least, up for grabs on the t-mob site and I would guess in stores. just a guess tho

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.

I would love to live in your dream world.

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.

Screen Bleed Swap out days are over

After only a single attempt at a warranty replacement I finally got word from TMO today that they will no longer swap handset's for screen bleeding issues. The rep told me that it is now considered a known issue and will not swap anymore phones because they know that the new one will have the same issues as well. I asked if she knew anymore information about it and she said the only thing that they know is that LG is working on a permanent fix.
I asked if that meant a new handset for those with the screen issue and of course she did not know but also stated that the fix/replace/repair is definitely a hardware problem and LG is expected to make right on it. So for now Ill deal with random reboots, shutdowns, and crappy battery until the update. I'm just curious on how they are going to remedy the situation. Hopefully a release comes out soon at least identifying the issue.
So if you can still trade in then by all means go for it. I have had two reps tell me now that as of the 24th, they no longer exchange due to screen bleed. I didnt push the issue on a new phone cause I like this phone and want to see how it all turns out now that LG has the ball.
I originally posted an article on the issue here at Gear Diary

I rejected both, I was just trying to fish for information. So maybe the whole we are not replacing news hasn't filtered down to everyone yet, or you just got a rep that is tired of exchanging out G2X's

Ha... I've swapped out over 5 Mytouch 4Gs and the best way to go about it is through the chat on their website.
It all depends on the Rep. I read on the MT4G forum they quit swapping out phones for the screen issue with that phone... It's a wash. Depends on who you talk to and how their day is going apparently.
If at first you don't succeed... Call another rep... LOL

unless they notate the account and we get a sweet big red pop up saying DONT DO IT when you walk into a brick and mortar.

It's really an easy fix.....they just need to limit the backlight output to about 45% of the current max.
The screen bleed will almost never be visible, at that new max brightness. Of course when outside, and you want to kick up the brightness to max....it just won't perform the same.
The Optimus Black is supposed to be the new NOVA screens....I have not bothered to check to see what the bleed complaints are over there. Switching out the G2x to the NOVA screen as an undocumented upgrade would not be out of the question.

This is totally YMMV with the reps. She had to take some time and look it up in the "knowledge base" and said that she learned something new. It may have just been me but the rude chat representative and now the rep from the phonecall said the same thing. I guess it all depends on how much you push. I was most happy just to know that now it is seen as a legitimate issue by both TMO and LG and am waiting for the resolve.

I just got one swapped out yesterday. They gave me free overnight shipping too. This is like the 5th time, if its not free I guess I'm confident ill get to keep it. You see I learned during my call yesterday that they now charge five bucks for using warranty, that's a change in contract, 30 days to reject the new changes. Even still, I'm on my 5th G2X, completelly unacceptable!

See this is an example of why t-mobile sucks. They've sold phones that THEY KNOW ARE DEFECTIVE...and won't replace them. I understand it'd be stupid to replace them with another G2X - but they should a) give us our money back or b) exchange it for another phone like the sensation or mytouch4G. The fact that they don't is probably grounds for a lawsuit. If anyone is interested I'm thinking of filing one.

Luckily for me, I only had to swap mine once to get a phone without backlight bleed. Even on max, it's hardly noticeable. My first one was horrible, even below 50%. Now, the wait for an update begins.

im getting a replacement but there charging me 20 bucks to do so! i got the shiz end of the deal

Or they could directly seal the screen to the glass like. In the iphone and galaxy s lineup

Not necessarily. If you bring up prices in asking for a replacement (i.e. I paid $180 for my G2x and Sensation is now cheaper) they'll frequently feel pressured into sending you one. My brother swapped his out for a Sensation, claimed the Sensy had overheating problems, and got a replacement MT4G Slide.

When I popped that response into the google narcissism translator, this is what it spit out: i wanted to post something that offers zero value to this thread, xda, or anyone else in this world. As a matter of fact, I wanted to post something that has zero value for a single thing on this entire earth, outside of puffing up my ego. I'm so thankful I have avenues such as the internet to sharpen and feed my narcissism. I'm so full now.. I'm so happy. I feel great. Wow, it's like a drug. I hope someone argues with my stance so I can keep getting fed....

Just hopped on the G2X bandwagon! Need help with Baseband Corruption/Invalid SIM, Plz

Hey everyone. I have a couple questions. This guy is selling me a g2x for 130 but says the simcard wont read at all anymore...idk if its software or hardware related but I think its a good price and maybe an easy or cheap fix, right? Also i remember hearing a lot of software issues on this phone but Im assuming root has solved them all by now right? i appreciate your input guys thanks!
UPDATE:
Thanks everyone I bought it. It looks like its almost brand new. only a faint scratch on the screen otherwise it looks flawless inside and out , no water damage, no abuse. It looks like its well taken care of. I verified the IMEI is NOT blacklisted, the phone reads the SIM and shows T-Mobile in the APN, however the notification bar has an Invalid SIM message rather than displaying T-Mobile. I have searched XDA and determined it has what is called "Baseband Corruption", I am unsure on how to fix this as I have read that flashing roms doesnt solve this issue as the RIL is not flashed with custom roms. Anyone have any suggestions? Does LG use anything similar to ODIN (a program used by Samsung phones to reflash every partition)? I think if LG has some kind of software to reflash every partition maybe this will fix the baseband corruption and make the phone usable?

If it's not reading any sim cards I bet it's water damaged and would stay away.

Wouldnt that be evident though if i checked the water indicator?

Even if it's reading the Sim card, stay away froma g2x period! It had the potentials of being a great phone, but the bugs will eventually become frustrating to deal with, i.e. the browser bug, camera zooming bug, no lg camera app which takes full advantage of the camera functionality, and so on......and don't dare even entertain the thought of going back to Froyo, unless you love going through random restarts and boot loops which leads to a hard resets.
I'm just sayin!

Are those bugs gone after rooting it though?

Another reason it may not read the Sim, is that it has been blocked for some reason.

not all of them have the bugs, would I recommend this phone over the SGS II probably not, would I recommend it over the Sensation or Amaze 4G probably... This guy seems to have something against the G2X lol.
"the browser bug, camera zooming bug, no lg camera app which takes full advantage of the camera functionality" I have no clue what the Browser bug is, camera zooming bug never heard it, No LG camera app whoopty dooo! The Aosp camera and apps from the play store are fine, just install the ICS camera app from the play store is great. I think the phone is great!
Now when it comes to the SIM card slot no recommendations besides what has already been stated..

the bugs doesn't appear to be hardware, it's software. Originally the g2x came with froyo. After many complaints about the random restarting and GB release date. Lg rushed an update which was supposed to have fixed the restarting issue in gb. Only to give us a half baked ROM, missing the camera app which decreased the quality of the camera, whereas at one point the camera was one of their marketing ploys to sell the phone. You can try installing other roms, but there will be a give and take issue.

Ive never been one to use any android phone stock, so rooting will help me there. Im just worried about the phone's IMEI being blocked and maybe impossible to unblock? Its a good price for $130 if theres no water damage and I wouldnt mind paying a little extra to fix the SIM issue. Im still debating whether to pick it up or not.

He said he tried it out with his and his cousins sim card. So I dont know if mine would work either. My fear is that maybe its imei is blacklisted on t-mobile and thats why it wont work.

Even if it is blacklisted, wouldnt it say when u insert your sim in? Ive seen black listed phones when u insert ur sim in it will tell you to return it back to the originally owner. Id say go meet the guy up and try, if not, I have no clue what the fix would be.

Ah, okay I will definitely look out for that. And actually the guy told me he didnt try it with his sim card because he has AT&T. The phone is his cousins and it stopped working with his cousin. i will meet him up and try to see if it works with my sim. If theres nothing on the water indicators, no blacklist message, and no missing contacts on the sim reader, then maybe its the sim reader or some dust thats causing the issue and can be replaced.

But all of those issues you stated are only on LG stock based ROMs. Custom ROMs such as CM7 don't have these issues.

That's true, but the hdmi is not working on cm7 due to nvidia, right? At least that is what it was last I checked.
I'm just sayin!

Phone rings once and then auto rejects?? (Intermittent)

Hey there,
Not sure if anyone else is having this problem or not:
My Nexus 5 will occasionally ring once, then auto reject the call. I am not sure what is going on with it.
Anyone else having this issue?
I thought it may be Google Voice causing the issue, but I disabled it, and it still is doing it.
Thank you for your continued help.

Mine has sort of done this, but it only rang for a split second before the call was rejected. This happened several times very rapidly, had to power off the phone to get it to stop. Hasn't done it since though.

Thanks. Wirefly (who I bought the phone from) says they will replace it (with their device protection insurance thing) but I want to see if I can troubleshoot it first.
Thank you so much for your response!

Mine does this also. When it happens I cannot make a call either. The phone will ring the person I'm calling for half a second then hang up. A reboot solves it but it's irritating.

Sprint did the 'ole *#*#72786#*#* and is "confident" this will fix the issue... What a joke... That is their answer for everything...
Ugh, I just want my Nexus 5 with Sprint to be flawless!

There's your answer. Time to get off the POS Sprint Network. My guess is you're in a crappy signal area at the time this is happening.

Finally got off of POS Sprint and went to AT&T. LOVE IT! Service is amazing, customer support is pretty good... Bit pricier but I don't care, I will pay for that!
Thanks!
