G2x running stock froyo, Trinity kernal, and pimp my CPU BT toggle turns phone off?

My phone is running great but I can't turn off my Bluetooth and I don't want it eating battery for no reason. Whenever I attempt to turn it off it shuts my phone off instead (whether I do it through a widget or settings) If anyone has experiences this issue please help me out. Thank you guys.

This isnt the right section.... Read the rules
And stock rom as in? Try flashing eb 1.04... also make sure u have the right kernel.... You might have downloaded a gb kernel by mistake

Which Trinity kernel are you using? Right now there aren't any listed for stock ROM.
Also as has already been said this should be in a different section.

If he really flashed trinity on a stock rom and that's the only problem then someone should let Morfic know, maybe we can finally get a stock OC kernal, I've been waiting for one since I got the phone.

Yea I did, and the bluetooth issue comes about AFTER overclocking with pimpmycpu. I tried uninstalling but the problem doesn't go away so I went back to stock with Paul's Patch and everything is fine. Kinda sucks because my phone was real fast. Also when Paul's Patch and Trinity are applied together I wasn't getting sound at boot animation and I'm OCD so it did bother me lol
and if you guys are wondering I flashed the 2 following trinity versions: (without paul's patch and still got the bluetooth issue)
Trinity15 G2x - EB1.04 Froyo - EXT4 - Vibrator works, usb mounting might not
Trinity15 G2x - EB104F - EXT4 - vibrator works (new 5/16/2011), possibly usb mounting doesn't work
Usb mounting didn't work but all you need is a Multi-Mount SD card application and you're good.
UPDATE: Just redid my phone to complete stock and it seems that the bluetooth issue is still there, I think I found exactly where it's coming from and has nothing to do with the kernal or the patch. the issue comes up only after I restored my application data and apks with my backup pro so I'm guessing something is corrupt "/

mods...please move this thread
and when someone posts in the wrong section,can we refrain from answering please? all it does is create more clutter.

New G2X seeking advice

I got this phone recently and I'm experiencing some minor bugs and was wondering if it's worth it loading a custom mod to it.
It's currently running GB 2.3.3 stock
I have no experience at all doing anything regarding custom roms or kernels or whatever. Before I do anything with my phone I want to know the ups and downs to it and if it's worth it
The bugs I currently have are random reboots but this has only happened twice in about 5 days of use wifi calling sometimes gets a little *****y but it works (for this I had to get a older sim card TM 9073)
Is there a stable rom around that most g2x users are using ?

I don't mind Gb or ICS though I believe Gb would be the most stable
I only want my phone to be the most stable as possible with all it's features staying with 2.3.3+ I do a lot of gaming and run game emulators on it

Well if there was someone experienced kind enough to help me out through this process I would appreciate it a lot since I have no experience at all regarding this.
I do wish to know if there is a way to revert my G2X to its factory settings on the 2.3.3 in case I mess up etc

so.. everywhere I read says do this do that flash this and that... I can;t find anything detailed enough for someone who doesn't know what nvflash is or what it does or how to use rom manager etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715
specifies 2.2.2 I have 2.3.3 where am I suposed to start just flash and if so how?
I'm a complete noob on the android platform I need more details than just use this and that.
sorry for the noobness but I just want to get the hang of this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUT5JcnJHgk
Links are in the YouTuber's description... after that search for those 2.3.3 threads and pick one!

follow the steps in this link... to flash the latest CM Rom...
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_G2x:_Full_Update_Guide
But i would recommend using a different method to root,
since you said you have never done any of this before
there are noob friendly ways to root such as the following link...
follow the directions in this link to root..
then just continue on the original CM link and start after the root section..
root here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985

This phone is probaly one of the easiest phones to root and install cwm on, its 99.9% unbrickable and has tons of information in dev thread. Just take the time to read b4 you do anything, simple as that.

thanks to all , the links where helpful I got the cyanogen RC 7.2 working good so far only 1 issue when I want to install the telenav gps says its not available in my country I really need this thing working . Apart from that It's a lot easier than I thought now just need to figure the gps thing out.

What country are you trying TeleNav in? And does google maps not work for you?

I agree. I'd usually use Google Maps Navigation. Has helped me quite nicely.

I already got it fixed apparently it was a corrupted rom. re downloaded and re installed and everything working nicely atm testing Hellfire phoenix this thing is awesome

Try to update to 2012 Baseband

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to update to the new baseband but everytime I run the fix my phone still says I have the july 2011 baseband. I am running Hellfire 1.8 and I tried to do it the way it says by flashing ROM, FIX, then GAPPS. but to no avail.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

So I would need to go back to a stock ROM, update baseband, THEN go back to HFS 1.8 for it to go through?

I just got finished doing this, WOW the GPS has a fast lock now. Make sure that you flash the BB FIX after you restore you HFP

Guys I cant install the lg update tool. gets stuck around 10% then just stops. Im already having issues and I havent even gotten to the phone part lol help? tried rebooting laptop, running w7 64bit T420 8g RAM. I dont think its my laptop..
UPDATE: added screenshot of where setup gets stuck.

follow this thread. works like a charm. make a backup of your device first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
the steps in this thread will restore a stock gingerbread rom. when that is done, use nvflash and put the stock recovery back on as well
reboot your phone and do the update that way (over the air). look in About Phone under system settings and you will see a menu item at the top called software update (or something similar). use that to update your phone, you will end up with GB 2.3.4 and the new baseband
if you want to use a custom rom, eaglesblood build 4 has support for the new baseband built in or you can use CM7 RC3 or a currently nightly, or you can use either kwes or buru's roms, OR owain has a bb update zip that is supposed to work on any rom
good luck!

Sorry it just turned out that it was my jobs firewall that didn't allow the install to talk to the Lg servers. I got home and it worked so I now am running HFS 1.8 with the new baseband. Thanks for everyone's help on this.

how is your BT and call quality? those are issues on all but the stock 2.3.4 that comes with the new baseband (and the tweaked roms based off it)

The only thing I've tried through BT is tethering, as I dont use a BT headset, which works great. Call quality is clearer but not a huge difference. Data drops less often now though.

Try and get as many people to star that so perhaps the developers won't keep telling us it's "Hit or miss" and not a big issue.
I've had no luck with Bluetooth on new baseband but it works great on the stock 2.3.4 ROM from LG. Loaded with tons of bloatware to slow your phone down again.

i starred it and hope it gets fixed one way or the other and i agree, the new stock 2.3.4 works great and getting rid of bloat shouldn't be a problem however, just yesterday and today while running 2.3.4 my phone would just start getting really hot doing nothing but sitting in the holster, screen off, 4g off, BT off, wifi off, dont understand, but i put cm7 june 10 build on and now it doesnt do that

Yeah, I can run custom ROMs and all is well other than Bluetooth for call audio. My problem is I drive all day and have to use Bluetooth, so I'm stuck on stock
Hopefully it will get fixed.

need some quick help with this one

took both mine and my wifes g2x back to 2.3.4 stock. ran the updated baseband on both but for some reason her's still isn't making/receiving calls. also her baseband is showing jul 15 2011.
i did this to hers last night and didn't bother checking it. now shes on a 8 hour road trip with our 2 girls and has no phone.
i also tried the lg support tool but the phone has a jacked up charger port and would never connect to my computer.

If she has the July 2011 baseband try putting the 2.3.3 ROM on it or if she still has CWM installed flash this on her 2.3.4 ROM and see if it fixes it http://db.tt/abISGgzB

yeah clockwork is still on there. i'll have to wait till she gets to her sisters and shoot her the link and walk her through cwm.
i'll letcha know what happens.
thanks xbkkx

If she's still on the 2011 baseband then any cyanogenmod rom should work as well... her phone wont work because she has a v21e baseband and is running a v21y rom.
This has been the cause of alot of confusion on the forums the last couple months.
Hope it works out.

I'm not positive that is entirely correct, I haven't been around here much but last time I checked that latest CM nightlys only work with the latest 21y baseband.

she's on stock 2.3.4. lets not worry about custom roms cause there is no way im talking her through downloading and installing a rom
what i don't get is i used the same zip file to do both of ours. after doing the exact same thing on both i ran getril and mine passed but heres did not. mine is good with 21y and her's prompted for 21e.
is it just a simple fix of her d/l'ing 21y through getril?

Like I said before she needs a v21e based rom not a v21y based rom.
And no all new cm aren't only for the new baseband.
Just because its a custom rom doesn't mean its any more complex or unstable, in fact with this garbage device the custom roms are more stable than the stock ones as far as I'm concerned.

no go with that one either
but here's the weird part. when she goes into "about phone" it has the july 2011 bb, but when she goes into getril its showing the march 2012 bb

She needs to go with the 21e then. Get ril is wrong, but she needs to go with what about phone states.

yeah 21e isn't working either.
this is about retarded that we are both on the same rom, but mine runs 21y fine and her's won't run 21y or 21e.
guess i'll have to have her install a rom to get up and running.
is there one out there that has gps, mms, and video all working with little to no extra files?

[Q] What Gives?? Lg G2x.....

So I recently acquired my second G2x. I rooted it with no prob just like i did my last one,and began installing custom roms. All was going well as i had flashed a few roms with no problem. I was running Eaglesblood ICS for a cpl days,and it was working good. A few days in,it started acting funny,apps force closing,random reboots,so i decided to go back to a GB rom,Hellfire Phoenix. Flashed it,went to boot,Lg icon appears for a few seconds,then nothing. Ok,no problem,tried clearing caches and fixing permissions,still no go. At this point,I tried CM7 and could get it to boot,but calls wouldnt work,some odd clicking sound. Did some research and found out this could be caused by a bad baseband,so i flashed my backup of the stock rom,and it works perfectly,only problem is whenever i flash any rom other than stock,it either wont boot,or in call audio is borked. Any advice or links to a tutorial to fix this would be much appreciated! I am on the stock 2.3.4 GB rom with the March 11 2012 baseband, 2.6.32.9 kernal....

Prepare to get flamed for not searching first. The answers you seek are already on the forum. I'll give u a quick answer anyways. Check the original post for the ROM you flash for if it's new or old baseband. Then check the stickies for info about a patch for each instance of incompatibility. If you're using a T-Mobile G2x, all this baseband/RIL stuff has been addressed. Check out the sticky thread by noahk423 in the General section.

Why would he get flammed? He searched, he just misunderstood what the info was.

Go there, flash the zip to fix the noise. If a phone has the newer baseband but you are using a ROM which wasn't built from G2x CM7 sources, eg, Temansek CM7, you will need to flash that zip.
