Just a friendly little anecdote for you. Do with it what you will...
I worked tech support in a call center for a large mobile provider and was terminated for posting on forums after they managed to link me to some posts I had made. They did this by monitoring network traffic in the building, which lead them to my computer since I was posting them while at work. I was fired for the content of the posts, although they were all completely harmless, such as your post. They felt I was divulging proprietary information.
For a long time I kicked myself for posting on the forums with my work computer, but really I should have been kicking myself for posting at all, from any device. In the end, just ask yourself if the risk is worth the reward.
Now, the bright side of this, 6 months later I landed a great job as a network admin for a great company.
Oh and about that company I used to work for, their name started with a T and ended with a Mobile.

well thats not very smart for you to do.....
do you really think im getting on this website from work...
im not DENSE like some people...

I think you're missing the bigger point here. As I said in the post, the conclusion I made in the end was that it really wasn't worth it to post at all, regardless of where I was posting. They could just as easily linked me to the posts using other methods, such as overhearing something, or someone tattling. Or maybe I became facebook friends with someone on the forums, and they reported me. There are plenty of ways.
Nevertheless, I did say to do what you will with the story. But seriously, consider the whole risk vs. reward part of it. What are you really getting out of posting small bits of 'insider' information? Probably not much. And believe me, I didn't think I was divulging anything proprietary, but it didn't matter what I thought. My posts were almost identical to yours. I wish someone had said this to me back then (even though I landed a better job in the end).
Anyhow, good luck to you. You probably won't get burned like I did, but as they say... **** happens.

Can someone explain why a rooted phone will not work with the OTA? Is having CWM also an issue? What do I need to do to prepare my phone before the update arrives?
I also do not understand why TMo would not publish the update on their site like they do with all the windows phones.

Absolutely right. I later learned that I wasn't the first to be terminated for posting, and I'm sure I won't be the last.
In my last comment I mentioned that I wish someone had given me this bit of 'advice' long ago, but come to think of it, someone pretty much did. I distinctly remember someone replying to me one day and saying that they know other employees had gotten in trouble for posting. I brushed it off just like this guy/gal.
Just trying to pay it forward

You need to revert back to stock for the update. This is because the update is designed to build on the stock OS, not whatever you have on your phone. As far as rooting it and leaving it stock, not sure what the root does to block the ota.

I can't be positive, but perhaps its not so much rooted as flashed with another ROM. I've heard of rooted phones being updated. I've not heard of cooked ROMs being updated.
But, I know nothing for sure.

I don't know if this means anything other than what it says. But I have tried to connect to get software update and it keeps giving me the old can't connect at this time message. Could it be that the servers on their end are overwhelmed with others trying to do the update if it is indeed out?
And another question...I am not a T-Mo suscriber. I use Simple Mobile. Would the update get pushed to my G2x or would I have to manually install it? Thanks

Thanks guys. I am running rooted stock and stayed that way on purpose so I could get the update. I also stayed stock because my phone runs like a champ. Never had a reboot and everything works as intended.

You are probably better off waiting a few days to let our developers get a hold of it anyway.

The update won't get pushed to Ur phone. Only T-Mobile customers will get the push.

When there are 'Official' releases to multiple carriers, then each carrier would get a push, based on their own agreements with LG. If the phone is a regionally sold phone, also called unbranded, a push is made to them also. Most commonly, you see the unbranded phones get the update first, since the carrier testing does not have to be done.
But, in reality..it is all a crap shoot....so you're still waiting, no matter what.

Anyone have any solid information on this though? There are just too many threads of "I just heard the GB update..." with no solid ROM information or even a picture.

No biggie, I can wait for it to show up on the LG or TMO website and download it. This probably is another false alarm anyways LOL.

Yeah, most likely this is a false alarm. I just hope this long awaited update will fix the GPS (takes forever to lock). That's the only issue I have with mine. I don't have random reboots or overheating like others do.

So, I was wondering....where does one go to get 'solid' information? We're here in a community forum, using fake names. More than half of us can't vote, work in a burger king or in college. We all have a tendency to read and search and google/bing about the G2x.
I for 1 couldn't tell solid information from rumor. I will say this though...if the information you have, comes from Twitter, Android Police, TMONEWS, or anything with a 'Forum' in front of it....its a rumor. If your great news starts with, " I just talked to a TMobile CS...." its a rumor. If you just talked to your friend, who works in a store or is a TMobile CS agent, its a rumor.
You'll either get an OTA on your phone, and recieve the update which you can prove with a screen shot. Or you'll plug into the LG support tool and update, which you can validate again, with screenshots...
All else is rumors. Please post all rumors in the HTC Sensation forum...where they are living the dream.

G2X, is it dead to the world?

I'd like to get the communities thoughts on this. It seems that to the app world the g2x won't get any support like it isn't relevant. Skype already added Sensation support for video calling, netflix we're still waiting motorola atrix has it, just got qik due to tmobile pressure (crap anyway). No google talk with video. Etc, etc. Is this device dead to the rest of the world? Seems like it.

most likely noone wants to put an app on this phone since tmobile continues to blame apps for the ****ty phones problems.
i refuse to do my rom for this phone because i cant determine if i caused a problem or the dirvers or the phone itself. its just not worth my time.
THan again they probably work with the phone developers to get these apps out and i would bet lg hasnt responded or done what is asked of them.

I know what you mean. I have pretty much had my fill of the g2x debacle. I have had both the Sensation and the G2X since June 8, but I have finally decided to sell my G2X on craigslist. There's just no reason for me to keep it at this point, it's become more of a liability than anything.

well it's because all the exaggerated negative posts on this forum when the g2x was released and then when people google g2x and read this forum the power of suggestion leads them to believe that "yeah, there is flaws with the g2x" then they in turn start posting BS about so called "problems" on other g2x forums and then it spread like wild fire, making ppl who never even tried the phone to conclude the phone is a bust.
All the slanderous, false and exaggerated remarks about the G2x in the first 3 months never gave it a chance to shine and show it's true potential.
But those that know better, this phone is a Beast and definitley a keeper.

I've had the G2X since the day it came out. The only real issue I've had with it is a random reboot once every couple of days.
I'm MUCH more troubled by the recent trend of app support by phone model. That's the LAST thing Android needs now and it's mostly driven by DRM concerns rathern than technical ones.

You can't be serious. Your saying that people are lying about their issues with the G2X? I had to purchase 5 G2X's to get a working one that didn't freeze or reboot a couple tines a day. If you want, I can show you my receipts for the returns so you don't think I'm a liar.
In my opinion, 1 out of 5 devices is not a good ratio. Was there people lying about problems they were having? Of course. There's trolls on every forum who don't own the device and just want to start giving other ones bad names. Are there people who have had multiple devices with the same exact problems. Yes, I'm one of them and there are people here who I trust who are reporting the same thing.
I agree, its a good device of you get a bug free version but lets be honest. Not everyone gets lucky.

LG acknowledged the problems with the phone before it was ever released in the U.S. They could have salvaged the phone and their reputation if they reacted back in March when they became aware of the problems. Instead, things got so bad T-Mobile pulled the phone. I don't think they did that because of what they read on this forum. Even today, after nine months of coding, the best LG can do is a GB ROM with A Froyo kernel. That's what screwed up the phone, not "the power of suggestion." And with the likelihood of future LG ROM and driver updates being pretty much non-existent that will effect the devs working on the phone.

So all those lock ups, battery pulls and random crap was all in my head? Thank you so much for the clarity. I feel better now.

But slander is thrown out when the statements are true. so therefore its not slander.
But your right. i have seen many phones get pulled from the carriers because of false accounts of user experiences... oh wait i have seen phones with just as many problems reported that were never pulled. so maybe that makes this one worse of all time?
jacob.. not sure if you work for tmobile or lg but it wont work sorry.
the phone has a bad rep for a good reason. and the same phone over seas had the same problmes 2 months before it was even released here. so you can thank LG for releasing a phone they already knew had big problems.
Glad you seemed to get one of the few early release phones that didnt have the problems. but just because you have 20 dollars in your pocket doesnt mean every does..get it... just becaue your phone worked doesnt mean everyone here is making something up. tmobile pulling the phone is all the proof needed.. if you can understand that than there is really no hope for you.

I'll agree with this post. At first getting 5 good in a row I thought those with issues were nuts..
Then I received 2 bad ones after that, getting it free on a new line.. Nothing new on the phone and it froze and rebooted like crazy, 2 in a row... Now I finally got a good one again no issues.. So I had 2 bad out of 8. 25% bad vs good here, but its true, there are defective ones for sure that can't be fixed no matter what you do..... So ya its true there are good ones and there are bad. You will know in the first 12 hours...
When you get a non defective one there awesome..

So back to my question, do you guys also feel like this phone is now dead to the market?

Oovoo on g2x has long been working. Skype ignores all tegra 2 devices not just g2x.
We only have few devs, especially if you came from hd2. Plus, we have had a lot of whiners few months back.
This past days, g2x forums in rootzwiki has been very active, even devs post their builds there first than here.

You have to pay to download the app from the Team Black Hat website. New leaks from TBH are exclusive to paid supporters through the app for about 48 hours before general release.

or somebody with the app can dl then upload it here tonight its a official leak and p3 didnt create it. so he really has no rights to it thous making it suitable for anybody to re-upload.....just saying. why wait?

i really hate that it's no longer on the marketplace. bought the app way back on my droid x, and now that my credit card got cancelled i'm always out of luck on new releases. :l

I'm thinking of trying this out tonight.

To anyone that installed EP3:
Does EP3 have new radios? The EP1W has better signals, but I get that "data dropping" issue that people have been complaining about since this phone was released. I never got that on the EE4 radio.

Everyone hold your horses. Imnuts has a copy that came from another source and he tweeted if you wait until tomorrow he will have infinityrom with the ep3 base. Much worth the wait instead of getting it stock.

no actually i don't see anything wrong with this statement. but I am a bit surprised you do. So you are saying you see nothing wrong with somebody profiting from somebody else work that in reality its work they stole? we can call it a "leak" but none of us actually own it. We didn't create it. So by taking it, we stole it. No different then dl a "leak" movie work print. except p3 is charging for ppl to dl it a little early. Personally i think its a despicable practice but that's my 2 cents.
Look at it this way. Devs pass out custom roms that they work very hard to give us. They often pass them around irc for testing purposes. So lets say Imnuts or team gummy gives you a copy of their newest rom for you to test. You in return upload it to another server and charge ppl to dl early befor they release it. P3 is doing the same exact thing. You see nothing wrong with that?

Man these things come out fast. I'm just gonna stay on my Gummy 2.0 until the Nexus Prime is released and get rid of this phone.

Yep, we had this argument with most of the Charge users a few months back and it was like 60% in favor of it being bull$hit that P3 profits from stolen leaks. I personally don't agree with his tactics but we already had this huge discussion which ended pretty badly and abruptly. He got the favor in the end because he threatened everyone that he would stop giving us these leaks.

don't get me wrong I'm not saying P3 right or wrong....just saying too wrongs don't make it right...that's my point....

I just hope that nobody here is stupid enough to buy the app simply for early access to this leak. Aside from providing a leak a few hours earlier than the general public, the app is abso-****ing-lutely useless. Its an app that you buy solely for the purpose of obtaining the latest software for your phone? As the site says, the software provided is "sometimes leaked." So thats basically saying that they'll give you what you get from buying your phone or after receiving ota updates anyway, for a small fee of 2.99. And after looking at the site, its clear that team blackhat is just after a few bucks, and instead of making that money like most good devs do (by producing roms/mods/kernels/apps, and relying on donations made to support their work, or by selling useful apps on an app market), they try to dupe you out of a few bucks by offering you what you already have access to simply by coming here or going to other popular android forums. Or they'll unlock your droid pro or droid 2 global for 100 dollars, and for an extra 25 bucks, they'll even provide the shipping! Wow!
Don't buy the app for this leak. Wait a few hours and get it for free. Or wait a few hours more, and get a custom rom all tweaked up and debloated for free.

Is EP3 the 2.3.5 leak?

[Q] Just purchased Dark Knight

So I purchased one thing from the goodie good deals they had on the $.25 cent deal.
My question is, is this notorious game "The Dark Knight Rises" will be able to run on our device?
If not I didn't really waste money, it was 25 cents so what the heck, if I get a better device then it will run it.

Quick note: Ok I saw someone comment from a Galaxy Nexus device saying it runs smooth. So I'm hoping it runs smooth for our device also since both devices almost run the same specs according to GSMArena
You can't believe how similar the device hardware are, silly Samsung not giving us ICS!

OK, let me get this straight.
You made a thread because you bought an app and you want us to buy it and check it out for you so we tell you if it runs in our device that is the same as yours... Can't you just open it and satisfy your curiosity? I mean, it's easier, faster, you already bought it so I assume it installed and no one installs and app if not going to run it at least once, that's just dumb. Then you realized how useless making this thread was and put some links to old news in order to change the topic into something that was on discussion months ago.
I'm correct? Did I missed something? Maybe you just wanted to show off that you bought a .25$ app. I know, I must be wrong. I must have read something and misinterpreted it.

Run the thing, you bought it, had to install it after buying it.

Ok... You're thrown off for some reason, you might be hyped or just angry and you decided to let it out on me. Nice to know that you wrote an article to express your hatred towards this thread.
Let me explain to you in a matter you can understand. I am not telling people to buy the game, I am asking for people who already had the game if it runs fine for our phone. You also do not realize how huge this "app" is. It totals to about around 1.80 GB according to Google Play. Please do not attempt to flame unless you understand the matter in hand. If this thread is completely useless then thank you for your feedback, I do not care, maybe the moderators do.
I am not giving you a angry/troll reply, I am just stating the fact that you are incorrect in some points of your reply and there is no reason for you to get angry at me.

It runs fine on ics...a little bit choppy on gb

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!
Thank you! I also have to agree a little bit about being choppy on GB since temple run, runs so choppy on GB, weirdly it runs smoother on ICS!

@th3controll3r
I'm not angry. In fact, I was laughing. You made my night with this thread. What I tried to say in a not-so-funny-for-you way is that you already bought it, what are you going to do? Wait until you get a new device with better hardware/specs to try it? Just run it. The worst that could happen is a soft reboot, a FC or a crash and you have to pull battery, put it again and turn phone on. No big deal. In fact, I was going to get the game too but I don't have a CC to buy it. Enjoy the game.
BTW, I tried Bad Piggies... it's great. It does run in case someone else wonders. LOL
*Also, games run better for me one ICS than on GB. I noticed with Major Mayhem and Temple Run... even Angry Birds!

They need to add a mood emotion indicator with these forum softwares nowadays. I thought your reply was a angry reply. I'm sorry I misinterpreted XD

Maybe next time give more information in your initial post. I read it and thought OK you bought the game but must be afraid of installing it. I would be willing to bet it would also be better suited to post in the theme and apps sub next time. I could be wrong but I do believe that is where apps and theme related posts belong.

Not the same spec, one clocked at 200mhz the other 384mhz and can be oc'ed to 512mhz. Then there is the cpu and ram and faster flash memory. The graphic will look better on the Nexus too. But I wonder why there isn't a way to overclock the GPU for the Galaxy S, or is there?
I do notice smoother gameplay with Jelly Bean on the Nexus compared to ICS.

[Q] Any way to turn this into a tablet with WiFi only?

This was my wifes POS Phone till I upgraded her to a SGSIII for Christmas. Now I have a device that would be perfect for my daughter if it weren't for the pesky phone option and Sprint bloatware. Are there any roms available that strip this phone to bare bones with no radios except WiFi? Haven't been able to find any and it might not be on the top of the Dev's todo list so if anyone is up to a ROM that will make this device at least usable because as a phone it SUCKS, but for a kiddo it would be a great toy with some of the game apps. Thanks in advance, and if I missed a ROM that does exactly what I'm asking in the mountains of pages in the Dev forum, please use only a small flame as I'm old and have a cold LOL.

A tip: when asking for help you might want to avoid talking trash about a device we users enjoy using.
My advice, 'the device sucks' and is a 'pos' so why bother doing anything with it. Go buy yourself, your kid or whoever an ipod and move on.

Lol why should we help you? One of the most stupid threads here

Uhh why not just turn mobile networks off n wifi on. And take the time to root your pos so u can delete the bloat.

What he said. Yeah it wouldn't be a pos if it was rooted.. It's a little beast!

Just hate HTC. Have since the TP2. No appologies for that when they make life just such a pain in the ass. Even cringed when the wife chose it but cest la vie. I'm not going against the boss. Maybe I'm just stupid but I've tried rooting but its a 2.3.4 and every option this thread gives me doesn't work for some reason or another. ShiftRR doesn't run at all saying ADB is at fault but I can ADB into the whole phone myself no problems, ShiftySonOfA almost works but creates a boot loop that thankfully is repaired by doing an --undo, Quickroot seems to work but then unroots the phone just as soon as it reboots. Trying to do it manually using the info on here gives me exactly the same boot loop as the ShiftySonOfA.BAT file does and trying to update from SD using a PG06img.zip I got from a rootkit fails. I can't help it if I'm a Samsung fan. Their goal in life isn't making their users stress out over their phones by daring to think they can do better than they can. If its too much to ask that my RAM isn't more than half full just with OS and bloatware because this phone refuses to root then so be it but even if its miles below my Nexus it's still MILES above any iPoo device.

Then throw it out and go buy a portable media player, or better yet send it to a dev who would put it to use and go buy some type of portable media player.
Edit: and to anyone who actually wants to try and help this guy, does this really seem like a person we need to deal with in our little speedy community in the future?

ROFL Speedy community. Half of you are talking about swapping out to Photons and the other half are moving to One X's. yes I've read an awful lot before posting a question. Guess I'll be getting absolutely no help here. Not that there is much help available for this device when all the links are broken and the ones that are working, don't work for their intended purpose. Feel free to delete the thread MOD I'll stay where I'm welcome, in the Samsung sections.

Happy to see you leave, please don't come again.
Edit: and you couldn't have read to much or you would have been able to root it. Well then again, you were calling your recovery touchwiz in another thread soooo... I'm guessing you have some trouble grasping things at times.

Well its probably been a while since you researched how to root, because if you done that more recently or even looked at my sig, you would have already rooted that shift. I posted it here and in 3 other well-known forums so its hard to believe that you haven't found it.
