Who loves their g2x based mostly on the work the devs contribute? From the guys that build from source code to guys that try to theme through images, xml, and smali , to guys that port working stuff from phone to phone so more users can expatience it.
I love my g2x. I cant think of anything that I want to change within reason, and it got to where it's at by lots of trial and error and help from devs that stepped me thrpugh some processes.
My G2x runs on weapon 2.3.3 rom, and custom themed by my partner and in...super smooth, no reboots, everything that I use works., quick ui. Battery life is hard for me to gauge because I'm always plugging in to push files all day.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
I love mine so much! It's such an amazing phone. <3
Great Phone
I love my G2x as well! Running latest CM7 nightly with bluesteel theme by team carbon but I have flashed just about every ROM there is (Crackflasher and this phone handles them all with ease.
Definitely interested in the Nexus Prime but I will still keep my G2x close by. Thanks for your hard work mmapcpro!
After flashing miui rom on it, things just went from bad to awesome!! Now i can really say god i love this phone!
I absolutely HATE this phone! Jk, I cant think of any other phone I'd rather have. The dev support on this thing is amazing!

To be honest...upon first receipt I wanted to return this phone....then I quickly rooted, flashed CM7 (and now MIUI) and I couldn't imagine any other device...the screen bleed issues aside, it is an amazing device....also I have poor battery life, but hey...I don't really get peeved about that.
I have used windows mobile devices since 2004. My last windows phone broke about a year ago and had to use a &%$#berry. In June I upgraded. Knowing I wanted a android but not really knowing the fist thing about it. Sure I had played around with a few devices kind of knew what I was looking for. I got the phone and loved it from the fist min. I will admit this not a beginners or novice users phone.....any how still just as fun now as minute one.

If there was a ROM that allowed one to use Netflix, HBO Go, and control HDMI output, this phone would be tits.

Like you I had buyer's remorse. After LG update tool, and EB 1.07 I've had no hardware issues.
The A2DP isn't issue cause I don't use it. Pleased overall but it took a while to get here. Didn't exchange my phone. Didn't see the point, still on my first phone.
So far so good
Sent from my GingerBread G2X
I took a chance on a second hand one and had it shipped to Thailand before I saw it (reputable supplier I have purchased many devices from). I can only see some minor screen bleed on all black in a dark environment. Other than that I am quite happy with my G2X. Sim unlocked it with a $2.99 code from eBay, updated with LG Updater to 2.3.3 with a minor glitch that was easily overcome, no reboots, no lockups, no problems at all. Just a super fast, super charged phone that loves to eat its battery for lunch. I can get through a day at work but when I get home my beloved G2X cries out for food.
BTW, whoever has said you cannot update without a T-Mobile number is wrong. I had a Thai sim in mine (TOT3G) when I ran the updater and when it got to the part where it said "checking number" it flew right past it. So the guy on Walmart Family Mobile who said his failed on the number check must have had some other issue causing the update to fail.
I'm really enjoying this phone! I made the move from AT&T and a HTC Aria, which I did love. My wife is having a harder time getting to like her phone though. She previously was using a 3GS but by switching to T-mobile we are saving almost 40 a month over AT&T. I know you can unlock Iphones for T-mobile but her 3GS has an upgraded baseband and latest firmware which prevents an untethered Jailbreak and unlock, so no Iphone migration.
I love this phone. I'm running cm7 trigger2 2.3.5 with go launcher, launcher pro+, and Regina launcher. This phone performs flawlessly on all three launchers.
Big ups to G2x!!!

I love my G2x. Almost brought it back after reading all the issues here but I'm glad I didn't. I have used XBoarders rom and now Weapon G2x.
My wife and I both love our G2x's. Now that EaglesBlood 2.3.3 has improved the battery life dramatically I can't find a single thing to ***** about except the back button in the browser. A minor issue but annoying considering it work as it should with froyo.

Hey guys, i am currently interested in getting the g2x to dev on. I dev for the Moto defy since the day it came out and have plenty of roms. Now my question is how are you guys experience with this device? I've read some complaints of tons of reboot and back light leak, poor signal..etc.. Any comments would be much appreciated, looking forward to getting this phone
Very good device. Some have backlight bleed but only really noticeable in the dark and when looking at it on an angle.
I haven't had any reboots recently but once when i got a call and after hung up it just died and had to pull battery.
Main problem seems to be that Nvidia's lack of sources for A2DP functionality for stereo bluetooth and that 2.3.3 is on froyo kernel so further updates with custom roms would be difficult.
thanks for the reply, how are the roms? Any problems with current roms ?

In all honesty, CM7 works perfectly even with the lack of a2dp support. 2.3.3 OTA based roms (namely Weapon G2x) works just as well if you want that close to stock feel with more features. MIUI has all the same problems CM7 does since they run off the same kernel.
I've never had any issues with reboots, and if people do it's probably because of rogue apps running in the background. I never had a reboot because I like keeping my app drawer as minimal as possible At least, that is my theory
I love my g2x..just checked the sgs2 but not really into that much, my g2x on Cm7 was faster... The roms are good, I do agree with the lack of tegra support but Meh. Love it..please get one and welcome..
I love my phone.
Excellent performance, excellent display, and excellent battery life. I'm on my 3rd one, but that was because my first one kept locking up, and my 2nd replacement came damaged.
I love this phone, and I wouldn't want to replace it with anything else until the Nexus Prime. ^_^
Absolutely zero problems, love this phone so much. One of the best parts is the glass. It's curved, which makes unlocking it feel really good , and the glass feels really thick and solid. Also NO scratches, coming from an iphone all these things are huge. Loving it.
I feel like this phone can stay up to date with most of the devices coming out right now... On Android, you don't actually need 1GB of RAM... Heck, 512MB is more than enough! I'm gonna hold out until the quad core phones start coming in... If the Nexus Prime is still a dual core, I won't even bother.
I got 99 experiences but a reboot ain't one.
My 1st G2x is running good.
no reboots, no reception issues.
runs great and my app drawer always has at least 200 apps.
lol
I haven't started deving /theming on it yet.
Thanks everyone for you input! Just placed the order for it and cant wait to get. Never dev for any other devices besides moto , so im looking forward to this.
Awesome a new dev!!! Wanna thank you in advance. Good luck

Reboots
My wife and I both have our 3rd G2x (due to replacements of bad phones). The phones we have now are doing well, however we both did experience a random SHUTOFF not reboot. It only happened twice, so I'm just waiting to see if that happens again, really weird.
My G2x is is running great. On my second one due to random shut downs on my first. I only experienced a couple reboots until I got a brand new battery and rooted the phone. Currently running Eagles Blood 2.3.5 others no misshaps. Love it.

This is a great phone. For those of us that have had no problems, the intended impact of the device is evident.
However, you cannot ignore what a lot of people went through. for many, the g2x experience was the worst possible.
LG and T-Mobile appear to have let the phone fade away. Even though its for sale, and can be had for cheap, it no longer appears in comparison with other good phones on the market today. Check the reviews out their today...cnet, etc....The powers that be have let it fade away.
Even DEVs appear to have moved on. Many of the people here a few months ago have moved to other devices. Even saying that, there are some real good ROMs out there...just less people deving them.
In all honesty I have to say, this phone is the best phone I've owned. But in that same honesty, I'd have to say, you may want to consider something else. Even the Sensation is now getting far more press and exposure from T-Mobile than this beauty. There are TONs of ROMs available for the Sensation and some of the best DEVs from the android world are there.
I've recently considered the Bionic....but the VzW pricing plan is just too much. Minimum $100 a month to walk out with a Bionic.
I love the G2x. But if you want long term upgradabiity...you may wish to look elsewhere.
Just my opinion....

No. It just finds it. Maybe not on second one, but 10-20.
Also, I came to G2x from the Bold, which would die in a day with no usage under dead zones. That was a huge problem - I was forced to enable and disable airplane mode all around. The G2x is great in that matter.

I have noticed that a lot of problems happen under the stock ROM or roms based on the stock one.
Flashing something like CM7 or MIUI fixes a lot of problems.
Hey guys, I have a chance to switch out my MT4G for a G2x through insurance.
I know the spec difference, my only concern is how CM7 and MIUI run on the G2x?
CM7 and MIUI both run perfectly on the MT4G, so was worried that it won't be as good on the G2x.
Main concerns are if it has any GPS and or.wifi problems?
Anyways, any response would be greatly appreciated!

Both of those ROM's work and run awesome on the G2x. Although if you were to flash a ROM, i would definitely go with CM7. MiUi still has its problems....CM7 on the other hand, is very close to perfection!
Although, all phones are different...some could have running problems and some never do. I guess this what i like most about my G2x, i learn something new about the phone everyday. Lol.
But this phone is virtually, BULLETPROOF. (just like a 4G63 or 4B11 )

Kinda...some phones might be worst than others. Other know Hardware problems are the Random reboots and freezes. But a custom ROM should be able to fix any hardware imperfection.
i went from a mt4g to a g2x through insurance too and its the best decision i ever made it only has 1 issue, screen bleeding but it doesnt make a difference at all unless you put full brightness in a dark room thats when youll notice it or when you look from an angle and i only use miui for the g2x its perfect

+1 I did the exact same thing and if I had to do it all over again, I would. I've been running eaglesblood for a while but started running CM7.1 the other day with no flaws. I don't even notice any screen bleed on my phone but my brightness is set low. Every G2x is different from the next.

I use MIUI also. Works awesome except wifi on the latest build is iffy. Seems to not have problems at home but my work router seems to keep dropping and it's on my damn desk.
Wifi calling also doesnt work on MIUI.
CM7 I think is all good.

A few phones from the earlier batches (including mine, which has now been replaced with insurance... damn tile floors) had issues with the HDMI out causing the battery to short out when you plugged in an HDMI cable. The most logical explanation was bad soldering, but the issue was never common enough to make it to T-Mo's known issues.
Several people's phones got fried (there's a really old thread about it in this forum I believe), while in mine I just had to get a new battery. Doubt it would be an issue, but you can never know too little.
I am interested in potentially owning a G2X and I have been doing research on it.
I hear that it freezes all the time, text don't come through, and it is just a pain.....and then i hear people have no problems with it at all.
Is it really that bad? I don't really care about specs or else i'd get a sensation, amaze or galaxy s2.
It is free right now(Along with the Sidekick 4g...which i was considering getting but i've heard even worse stuff about that one)
But is this phone truly that bad?
It really depends on what you are going to do with it.
If you are planning on rooting it and installing a custom rom, kernel, etc then a lot of those issues will be fixed and the phone will operate very well.
On the other hand if you arent going to root it then it has got some serious problems. The code on this phone is ****, so that potentially leads to a lot of problems. Basically if you are not going to root it, i would not suggest it.
In the end this phone has serious potential and that potential can be unlocked if you root it and add roms, but if not it has too many problems and just isnt worth the hassle.
I've never had a single problem with my g2x. I think most of the issues are in the early production ones.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I had mine for over 5 months before i rooted it and installed CM. The issues were minimal for me and i loved the device. Why did i end up rooting it and putting on a custom rom? Not to fix issues, but to be daring (using the term loosely here), and have fun with my device. I actually liked it so much, I bought a second. What were my issues? Lockups now and again, but it seemed to be heat related (ie when plugged in while driving my car), causing to remove the battery and turn it back on. Never had an issue with texts not coming through.
I also got my original for free...and to me, the random battery pull wasn't a show stopper (my palm running WebOS would lock up too now and again) and was easily overlooked due to the specs and capabilities of the device.
On a side note...I still see a random battery pull with CM installed, so custom roms isnt a fix all for this device either...but i still love it(them). Other roms may address other issues, but I havent tried any others so i cant say from personal experience. I have also played with a Sidekick 4G...negative captain...it drove me crazy.

[edit]
CM=CyanogenMod
seeing the OP has 3 posts under his belt, I wanted to clarify that CM stands for CyanogenMod, a custom rom. Just on the off chance he is unclear on acronyms around here.

You'll be fine man. Most of those problems occurs in the first batch of G2x' when it first came out. Good luck.
I don't believe that'd true, I had g2x 2 weeks since release. I think people just don't know how to use a phone.

I will put it this way, if I had the chance to get this phone for free with my past experience with it, is a yes. Would I pay 200$ and re-up on my contract... not a chance in hell. With the SGS II out right I would go for that or an HTC phone. For free this phone is more then good enough though.
Free G2X? Worth it.
Making bad decision's one at a time.
I would say if you get the phone and put Cyanogenmod on it, it's awesome, when I stuck with the stock ROM, it would freeze overnight, now that I have Cyanogenmod I have no problems whatsoever
My g2x is very stable overclocked to 1.6 with morphic's kernel. Cyanogenmod with the Trinity kernel is stable, fast, and very fun.
I paid for mine and it was worth every penny.

If you are getting this phone for free DO IT! In the end the phone works great and plays every game I load up, rooting and adding a custom rom is a must, I find that weapon is a good rom for the average user, the only thing I didnt like was the back cover but thats just me being picky
i think i was one of the lucky ones to get the first of the 2nd batch of the g2x. i did not have any problems with my phone but i rooted it after about a week. I have to say that the custom rooms are buttery smooth. You have so much more flexibility and it just creates for a much much better user experience. The stock was choppy, not as smooth, and was not very customizable. so i would say if you intend to put custom roms on it, this phone is perfect. if you want to keep it stock then i would go for the galaxy s2.
Every phone will have its issues. If its free, sure get it. If u got the dough to spare then go for the s2
the funny thing is i ask myself the same question when i bought mine your answer well i would buy it again i have had no issues im running a quadrant with phoneixblood rom trinity 15 kernal ext 4 at 6120 my battery last all day with moderate use with juice defender i think you would be totally happy with it its so simple to root like 5 minutes several very good roms for phone cyanogenmod eaglesblood phoneixblood miui you wont be dissapointed if you get it and you need help rooting flashing or anything just inbox me on here i gladly help in any way
Coming from someone that still has a release day phone, the only issues the stock phone ever gave me was stone random lockups, like 10 in the 2 months i had it stock. And for me that issue was fixed completely fixed with a flash to cyanogen mod. I'm really happy with this phone, and i honestly would buy it again even with the original $200 price tag.

I had a lot of issues with this phone stock but once i rooted and did all the stuff to it its running fine now.
I got my phone about a month ago. And yes, those lock ups or screen of deaths occurred a couple times in a few days. Rooted it and flashed a different rom/kernel and now it works wonderful. I believe it is the stock kernel that causes the issues.
My friend had this phone before and he hated it because of all the issues. He then went on to get another phone and told me not to waste my time.... It's unfortunate he didn't read up about rooting the device. This phone has awesome specs, and for the price of $100 that I got it for, I wanted to give it a try.
No problems for this phone whatsoever. Its a good phone I'd say.

Hi all,
I am new to this sect of the forum, currently own Samsung T959(Vibrant). Looking to buy another phone to play with on craigslist. I saw couple of them listed for $200. Need your true opinion and thoughts of the G2x. Thank you. Is $200 good deal?? most of them listed for 275 to 300.
my honest opinion... if it is rooted and played with enough to find stable for you, then yes 250$ is worth it. I have a very stable and good working phone that gets about 16-24 hours of average use (for me) with data on always.

Thank you..what r the most common issues with this phone, i.e like on Vibrant GPS is our most common problem, what about G2x??
has reboots for some people I've had two myself one of which I was overclocked to 1.6 GHz lol... some people have BSOD (black screen of death) plug your phone in to charge it wont wake up without battery pull, issue I've never had. GPS, Wi-Fi, audio all are great for me... (don't use blue tooth) HDMI worked the one time I used it at a family members house. that's all i got really that are actual reported issues. I love the phone get alot of compliments on it. How I feel is: it's good enough for me to last at least another year, especially if the devs keep up their dedication on ICS and if LG will actually put out ICS for us.
He mt3g is bsod kernel specific? I had that like 5 times over a 2 month period using faux kernels? Never with morfic yet. And when I had it it drained the battery two. I've had 3 rebooted since launch which was in April. So I don't have that problem. I honestly believe 200 is a good price because there is a fix for everything on XDA that this phone have. Dev isn't like the vibrant though. We do have a few dedicated devs so its not really a big deal.

It definitely depends on your kernel and hardware. I was getting tons of bsods with trinity (probably need to do a full wipe) but I get none on faux ds kernel.

Awesome hardware.
Crappy software unless you root it and flash a custom ROM.
GPS is pretty ****ty, & unreliable. But works well sometimes, just not all the time for some reason.
512mb's of RAM just sucks. My browser and launcher always gets pushed out of memory frequently no matter what ROM/kernel I have.
Overall it's a decent phone. Doesn't really hold up to the newer phones that are out now, especially with the ones that have 1GB of total RAM. But it's a good phone to get on the cheap, so good luck!
Ya I agree that it is very much kernel specific just by what I read places, especially since some people can't even load a rom with specific kernels in them the phone just wont except them cause they are under-volted. Luckily I don't have any of the issues people report. Oh and the phone is pretty tough as well I've dropped it 4 times no case, on cement, asphalt, and what ever is at the bar I go to... I think that fake softer tile look-a-like stuff, linoleum... any who, no cracks and breaks just dings and dents lol.

Ohh I forgot to mention the sides scratch really easy, not the screen the metal bezel sorta around the phone. It was advertised as brush aluminum but I don't think it is. Some cases even scratch the side of the phone. Don't want you to get the phone and be surprised so be careful if u get it. Also like mt3g I'm very clumsy and I dropped this phone on asphalt concrete hardwood you name it, hasn't cracked yet

I wouldn't spend a lot on it. For me, when it works, its great but every single rom I have tried has resulted in either random reboots or "Black screens of death". TYhe battery life is bad too, you really need to setup alot of things to get the most out of it.
The phone does run apps like a champ though and if you are into pocket gaming then this phone is great.
Imagine buying a sports car but the radiator doesn't work all the time causing it to overheat and forcing you shut off once in while. also imagine that instead of a normal fuel tank, it comes with one that is half the size. you still got a nice sports car but it has problems.

Same here, except I got it for $260 with 1-day shipping. I couldn't wait long for it.
I UV -50mv no problem, I haven't tried anything less because I get almost a full 24 hours of use, I don't want to mess with a perfect thing. By far better battery life, better than the Vibrant for sure, even with it running ICS, which I got the best battery life on the Vibrant.
The only complaint I have is the GPS. It works when it wants to, I got used to not having one on the Vibrant, I could never get it to work. Its definitely better than the Vibrant, as it actually connects sometimes.
But for $200, you're getting one hell of a phone. Use Bionix Reloaded v1.3 or stability, reliability, and battery life. Use a CM7 based ROM for speed and performance. Don't use ICS yet if you need everything to work however, its still very Alpha. Very.

Hi all,
I am new to this sect of the forum, currently own Samsung T959(Vibrant). Looking to buy another phone to play with on craigslist. I saw couple of them listed for $200. Need your true opinion and thoughts of the G2x. Thank you. Is $200 good deal?? most of them listed for 275 to 300.

i got mine for free when i added a new line, so its definitely worth it for me regardless. but i have not had any issues with it so far hardware wise. rooted and flashed a few roms in just the short two weeks ive had it. i would like more ram and a bigger screen but its fine for my first android device
