Hi, I just got my t-mobile g2x as a replacement phone from t-mobile
everything is fine, except the signal bar's color is always "WHITE/GREY" regardless 2G/4G, when I was using G2, it should be like green-ish.
Is that totally normal?
I am running stock 2.3.3, with t-mobile contract, and I definitely already sync/connect to google server (background data), because when I search a lot of ppl just saying "you are not connect to google".
Alright, another thing bugging me is coming out
The phone kept shows the screen before lock breifly, when I unlock the screen
Not solvble again?
It's LG's ****ty coding no way around it if you're on stock to my knowledge

Yup. Their crappy overlay directs the signal icons to the same icon for connected and non connected through XML. You have to go change it manually. The lock screen is due to their animations overlay... Their overlays are a nightmare and very VERY shoddy work. Their "devs" are more worried about sticking their name in code rather then actually coding. If you decompile their apps you will find tons of errors....

Green bars means you are connected to google Talk. It's has nothing to do with sync. Try signing into google Talk and see what happens. . Took me a while to figure it out too.

You're wrong, "green bars" mean you are synced with Google and you have an active data connection. Try flashing CM7 or CM9, your bars will change colors when synced with Google.
O yes, you are right. Just tested it. Cool.
It seemed to me that whenever I sign into gtalk my bars will go green. It turns out that is not the case. Learning something new everyday.

This is the very reason I rooted my phone.
So annoying.

My G2X periodically loses all data connection, and the up arrow on the top gets stuck. It usually comes back after 15-20 seconds, but lately it has been happening more frequently. It happened while I was on stock, so I thought maybe a new rom would fix it. I've tried cm7, and I'm currently running the leaked gingerbread rom, I even went to t mobile and got a brand new sim card, but it's only getting worse. At first it happened once every few hours, but lately it had been happening 3-5 times an hour, and it's getting very annoying. Is this happening to any body else?

Yeah I had the same problem with my o2x running cmx-11. I think its fixed now. What I did was flash modaco fr15 and that seemed to fix it. One of the bugs I guess :/

Used to do that on froyo on my n1. Gingerbread fixed it. In the meantime, switch into airplane mode and then turn it back to normal mode. Used to work for me.

That works for me too, but it's only a temporary fix, and it only shaves off like 5 seconds on the waiting. Then it will happen again within the hour.

Man im not going to lie to you, this problem seems to be a quirk with tmobiles network or maybe gsm data as a whole. I have been having this problem on every single 3g phone ive had on tmobiles network since the g1 (then another g1, then cliq, then n900, then n1, then vibrant, g2, g2x...in certain areas its worse..and the ish can be really annoying.
Yup same here, mt4g, n1, now g2x data gets stuck all the time, customer service is a joke, i probably know more about phones than them, all they have you do is reboot phone, this problem is very very annoying.
G2X
It happens to my G2x also...it's very annoying!

Used to happen alot on my mt3gs. Experienced it a few times on my G2x. Only quick fix I use is task killing which I try not to do. Another way is calling my voice mail and let my network kinda 'find and reset' itself. Worked for me majority of the time lol.

This also been happening to be since I got the g2x I tried everything ... hopefully the gingerbread update will fix everything till then we will see ..
Happens on my vibrant, G1, and just about every single android phone on T-Mobile. I'm curious to know if this happens on other networks also, or if it is an android problem. I have very little tolerance for this kind of bs and if I can confirm this is a tmo problem then I'm bailing.
i get the same stupid problem
Ditto. I cringe to say it but my data connection was way more solid on my Vibrant (and it's replacement) than my g2x (and it's 2nd & 3rd replacements)... I'm praying it's the drivers... I'll be kicking myself if I picked another lemon. >=\
About the other networks...I had an epic 4g. .and it didn't do that

Hi, I had this problem with my P990 also and adjusted slightly the APN-Settings: I set APN-Type to "default" and APN-Protocol to "IPv4/IPv6". Seems to work now. koem

Same issue here. I called both verizon and htc... they gave me the same answer. It is a roll out issue. Apparently because its in phases... whatever. My first tbolt came down fine; this is a replacement for a broken power button and now nothing. but at least I still have free tether! HA HA fail/win you decide.
Drop down to 1X and then search for it. Once you find the update, switch back to 3G/4G to expedite the download. Worked on my girlfriend's Thunderbolt.

Yep! i was rooted up until yesterday. While rooted I checked for & successfully detected it. But I rejected. Did a full backup using TiB and ROMManager first then unrooted. Now that I am unrooted, I cannot detect the update anymore. Been trying for 24hrs.
Just going to give up and reroot using the rooted update.

dropping to 1X doesn't work for me. However, here's how you drop to 1X:
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Then go to "Phone Info"
Scroll down and choose "CDMA Only" from the Drop Down. Note the setting before you change it so as to revert later on.
Good Luck and let us know if it works for you.

Not sure why but like with the last leak, the 4G and signal bars stay white. Now from what I understand they go green after syncing with google as well as staying connected to google.
My account is sucked and all gapps are working just kind of perplexed why it does not show green.
Thanks!

For some reason, T-Mobile decided not to do it that way. Your phone is connected to google and is syncing, it just doesn't show the green. It kinda sucks, (even though I dig the green though!),but it is what it is.

It's a Gingerbread feature. It works the same with WiFi. It turns green when it has a reliable connection.

Thanks for your contribution.
Not to downplay it, but whats the point if its always green? no difference than its always grey, right?
I agree, thanks for trying but I don't see the point so much.
No, the green means an uninhibited connection to google servers. Sync will still work, doesn't mean it's working properly. Do a master reset and see if your apps auto download. Something is wrong, it's a feature of gingerbread to turn green when properly connected. No, TMO didn't decide anything, this hasn't made it throught TMO yet, LG just messed something up.
I'm not sure why they would leave it out. They either said "hey, it's not important", or it is just something they haven't enabled for this test release (see LG camera app).

EH, there's no point. It just looks better. haha. But thanks for being positive!
Has anyone just flashed the zip and kept the old baseband? Not used the updater? If so can you verify its still grey? Probably a shot in the dark but doesn't hurt to ask.

So, I love this phone but have one issue that seems odd to me. As an example I am currently running pandora and tried opening the xda app which caused what appeared to be a fc but my phone kept running pandora and went to a black screen for a minute then a faded screen which eventually lead to a drop in data (briefly). Every thing was briefly unresponsive... It acted exactly like a reboot without rebooting. When I was able to unlock the screen I had no data service (briefly) and all apps closed. Xda app often fc's which is not a big deal to me but causing the black screen and data drop is concerning to me. I also had this happen when opening the phone info app while running nothing else. Should I be concerned about this? Software or hardware? I am running stock.
Edit: Have also had to reboot due to dropped data but it may have been during a switch between 4G or 3g even 1x.

It's not something I can make happen, just happens randomly. I have 5 days to return this so I would like to figure it out. If a software update would fix it I would just deal with it for now but I'm not sure what the problem is.

The policy is there is no $35 reatocking fee for the same phone swap. Don't let them tell you different. Your phone is DOA. Its a warranty exchange.

No.. tons of us have data issues. My phone hot booted in my hands the other night and it was the first time I experienced it, but I've seen reference to it before.
Your issues are not isolated.
I gave up with tech support and wishing a new phone would fix it and turned to third party development. My first time flashing a ROM. I used synergy and have been really thrilled with it.
Sucks to have to fix a brand new phone. Sucks to be a beta tester for Samsung and vzw.

I did not try wiping the phone because the first one was only nine days old and I had not done much with it. The second one lasted a day and now I am on my third. I really hope this does not happen again. The people at the Verizon store said they have never heard of this..... They think it's an app... I only have 12 apps installed. I don't know what I'm going to do if this happens with this phone. This is frustrating. I do not want to get stuck with a phone that has a problem like this.

Mine does the same thing. Besides the stock stuff, I loaded Pandora, Google Music, Amazon MP3, and Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Master of the Seas game. It was nice enough to wait until just after the 14 day return window to start locking up and misbehaving. The only way I could get it back was to do a battery pull. Of course, when I brought it to the store it ran like a champ! If you can get another replacement, make sure it says 'UPDATED' on the box. Those have a newer kernel / baseband and seem to be working better.
All of mine have said updated on the box. I am trying to limit apps for now and will slowly add them if I have no issues.

I have flashed JB CM10 on my infuse few days back. Just today, after a reboot, the signal and wifi icons went white from blue as shown in screenshot. Note, that all status bar icons were blue before reboot.
Anyone knows why? Thanks in advance.
I believe it has to do with it not being able to connect to google. Try entering the browser or check your google account in settings.

That's right. THANKS :good: I'm logged in to my work network and I know that there's some issue with push on gmail and other accounts when I'm connected to my work network. I just tried disconnecting from work wi-fi and signal icon goes back to blue.
Kinda weird, never had that issue with my stock GB. But, I'm okay with white icons as it's not causing any trouble, except a little distraction.
Thanks again.
