Can we get more help from you first?
Stock ROM? or modded? If so, which one?
Gingerbread or ICS 4.0 leak?
What kind of kernel?
When you connected your bluetooth for the first time, did you pull down the dialogue from the status bar asking to give your car permission to access your address book? If you didn't that could be the problem.
I've found that usually when I have a bluetooth connection problem, it usually helps to delete the phone from my car's memory, and then re-pair it and give it permission to access my address book...

It's in the OP's signature block, assuming it's up-to-date...
the BT in this phone (2.3.5) is terrible. a single reboot "SHOULD" work.
I ended up having to leave BT on all the time. Now, it works consistently in both my cars without fail. That said, it still sucks that I can't turn it on/off as I wish.
I've been trying to determine if ICS has this same problem, but haven't had time to flash it yet to see.

I can say with certainty that the bluetooth on ics is vastly improved over 2.3.5. I can now actually turn it off and on without having to reboot anymore.
Yes I'm on stock rom, GB.
after a few reboots it worked.
The Bluetooth on this phone is crap. That's the only good thing my old x10 was better at than this phone. I hope ICS improves this.

This IS odd behavior. As someone who is addicted to bluetooth - and I stream ALL my music via bluetooth to my stereo so it is super critical for me - I have found all ROMs to be almost 100% with bluetooth, including when I was on stock. Since you are only two weeks into purchase, maybe you SHOULD try a new phone. It may be a problm that will continue into other ROMs IF IT IS HARDWARE ISSUE.
I am serious, you should give another handset a try............ Now before you do that just see if turning on bluetooth after fresh reboot also sucks, since they will check that. If you can demonstrate that without having to connect to anything, your ready for a new handset. DO IT BEFORE YOU HAVE TO BREAK YOUR HEAD when you find it does not work on a new ROM

This is how I got my Infuse to do wifi tether/hotspot
1- Root Phone
I used one click root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2- Install Wifi Tether from Code.Google
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
3- Use Program to FREEZE App Called (Tether Manager) in app list
I used AntTek App Manager... I know theres a lot of other programs that can freeze/uninstall once rooted
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.anttek.am&hl=en
Hope this helped.. I know it took me awhile to figure it out, not many people make it clear and easy on how to get this to work correctly...
Let me know if this helped and happy surfing

This tutorial is only for stock ROMs.
If you're on any custom ROM, there is no procedure - nothing needs to be frozen or installed. Just go to Settings and enable it. Well you should probably set it for WPA security and configure a password...

I've never seen additional charges when I've tethered. I use it about 2-3 times a week to connect my wi-fi Galaxy Tab to the interwebs when we're out and about. There have been threads on this forum about people getting notifications from AT&T but they may be fringe cases. I think AT&T was issuing a cease and desist or there were going to bump the people to the "tethered" plan.

If the network operator cares, they can use specialized network equipment to analyze the data to see if it is cominf from one device(just the phone) or more than one device (phone +computer tethered) as each device numbers its tcp sequence numbers independently, while from a single device they would be consistent. So, don't complain if you get caught.

I RARELY tether, maybe 5 times briefly since I've owned the phone, but I just got the letter from AT&T stating I will be auto enrolled in the 4gb plan if I don't call.
So I called, they told me anyone who tethers after October 31st will be auto enrolled in the 4gb Tether plan and will lose Unlimited data.
Also new info to me, was that using your phone to play Google Music/Pandora VIA BT to your car or stereo is considered tethering, wow.

Hi..! I'm a noob. I have a problem with this phone, when I make a call, I can't hear with the earpiece nor speaker the person who I called, neither that person can hear me, but the speaker works with musics, videos, etc. and the mic works with google voice. Also when I record a video the sound is very noisy.
I hope a solution asap. Thanks
Can you include more details?
Do you have a rom or are you rooted with any mods?

Have you called anyone a second time?
In some roms there is a bug that there won't be sound on the first call after flash.

The only other thing I can suggest is make sure your APN settings for your carrier are correct. Other than that be patient - there are many people with far more talent than me who will be dropping in to read your post. When they give you a solution that works, let them know and hit their thanks meter. All the best.

Hi guys,
Seems like I'm getting 4G data drops off T-Mobile. It connects for like, 7 seconds, then drops, then connects again. I've tried both radios and ROM's available (stock) and the same problem exists.
I'm going to return the phone as-is to the customer with the issue partly unresolved, mainly because it does connect voice and MMS, just the data has issues.
Any ideas before I give him the phone back?

There is a Zip that was created on the G2x forums that fixed the data drops on 4.0.4. O wonder if it would work for our phone given that it's a APN configuration. Hmmm...

wind mobile, using hackfest PA, stock PA kernel
the trick is, use fasterfix, or edit the init.d yourself, and set it to canada
your gps will get a lock eventually.
however dont expect it to get a lock fast, g2x has **** load of bugs and **** and is quite well known for having a slow ass GPS.
It usually takes about 1-4 minutes to get a lock depending on the sky condition.

what do you mean BT dont work? I bt tether to my tablet sometimes and it works perfectly.
are you saying BT audio? I dont have a handfree device i can test with bt so i cant say for sure.
30 second locks every time if I am outside. Mobile data needed and I am on stock Rom. Modified hidden menu GPS setting but GPS conf is still the stock one (believe it or not, wrong servers in it and all, but still works ).
Maybe it's just luck, but then, I have two g2x and both work identically good locking to GPS signal.
Bluetooth audio is a deal breaker for me, so nothing but stock for now

Screen brightness
The screen brightness seems to be rather low even when on 100%. Not sure if i just think it is or what.
I flashed an unofficial version of the Mahdi rom. It worked mostly OK but I lost root access for all root apps. It was still rooted because I then flashed an unofficial version of Cyanogen Mod. Again I lost root access for all root apps. I am on my third flash of Cm, all with the same problem. Apparently many people have had the same problem but I have yet to read of any real solution. Can anyone help me with this?

By the way, awesome work here, i really love this rom and ive been using it since the new kernel patch, flawless!
I've noticed that the vibration feedback is way low. And adjusting in in the sounds setting doesn't really help. Only have a few problems.
1. Phone can not charge while turned off; turns right back on
2. Can not send MMS messages; it sends but the person receiving them does not receive them lol.
3. Bluetooth apparently doesn't work for calls; you can however use it as speakers for media and such.
