It kept re-****ing-setting and it was pissing me off!! I knew there was a reason I switched from CM7. Those random awesome resets. Its funny too cuz i was taking a dump when I smashed it on the floor. Hey I should have wiped my *** with the $130 I am going to be giving the insurance company instead of the toilet paper I used lol. So when my replacement comes in the mail, I will be using the stock rom!!
Im so angry I want to rip a baby in ****ing half!!
Why did you switch back to it then? Does it really cost that much with insurance? There's some shady looking repair shop in the mall I live near and the guy in there replaced my busted screen for $80
Sent from my LG-P999
I switched back because miui was being a pain! And I guess I forgot CM7 randomly Reset. If I were to replace the digitizer I would order it from eBay for $40 and replace it myself. Its not just the digitizer though. It's also the LCD as well. So if I were to order and replace both the digi and LCD myself, it would come to around $100 smackeroos. Why not just pay the extra $30 and get a brand spanking new G2x? I've thrown it quite a few times.
Insurance is rediculous on this phone! $130 every time I replace it.
Every time? How many times have you replaced it?

This will be Replacement #2
I could never throw anything that I spent $200 of my own hard earned money on. I treat this phone like aa newborn baby. There's a couple scuffs and a tiny scratch on the screen which was caused by me being stupid and taking my phone to the beach (yeah SAND was the only thing able to scratch the screen) and I feel terrible about those tiny things. I don't understand how you could just throw it. So baffling to me.

All roms except the stock rom 2.3.4 are broken since the March 2012 bb update. Kinda upset that no one has been able to fix this critical dealbreaker problem.

So what I'm getting at is if you f*ck your phone up because of your own shortcomings then I think its time you stop using a smart phone.

Good luck tho I hope you don't smash another.

ok, I had sent my g2x for repair due to severe backlight bleeding( the top of the screen was actually separating at the top) I send it in. two weeks later I get it back. the issue is still there and what did they repair? The sheet said they replaced the housing due to a scratch. There was not a single scratch on the phone so they repaired something that didnt need to be repaired and ignored what did. I called them up and told them everything. This time they sent me a shipping label to send it back to them. I spoke to a supervisor and they even said that my phone didnt sound like the normal bleeding and they would correct it. I send it back in.. today I get it back, screen bleeding is still there, screen seperation is still there and to make matters worse the screen now has 3 dead pixels that were not there before. What does the repair sheet say? They replaced the SD/Sim reader because it was faulty. ummm no it wasn't.. it was working perfectly before I sent it in.. I really cant believe them.. now I have to send it in for a 3rd time!!!!
Wow! I bought my first and last lg product.
yea bro that is some crazy ****, its like u gotta treat them like little kids and hold there hand thru the process , im sure u couldnt have been much clearer, FIX MY SCREEN , lol idk anyways man good luck dude i hope everything works out for u

If I were you I would consider reporting this to their human resources department. Most of the time the supervisors and employees of the technical department can be incompetent. I would advise you to ask for their human resources department. File a complaint that this has happened multiple times and that way human resources would have to call in those employees who keep screwing up your device's repair. Seriously, because at this point they are just bullshitting if you can send it in twice and they wont fix anything that needs to be fixed.
I keep reading these stories about faulty phones. I haven't had any problems with mine. I've flashed all the Roms on this thing and have never had any issues with reboots or anything like that. Maybe I'm just one of the Lucky ones that got one of their products that actually works.

Dude I will never purchase another LG product ever. My refrigerator is LG and guess what its faulty also, the Ice maker works when it wants to and it also reboots.
You should link up with the dude who filed the Class Action Suit against LG and have your issue added to the case as they are in breach of warranty.
Samsung and HTC FTW!!!
Note: I heard that even their new Cine-LED TVs have a rebooting problem.
Update: I didn't send it in for a 3rd time; Instead I waited for them to respond to my BBB complaint. I got a call from LG yesterday about the complaint and told them about the ordeal. She called me back today and told me they would send me a new phone. All I have to do is sign a waiver and send back the old phone (charger, battery and all) and she will next day air out a new one to me. I'm thinking this will be from their new batch(hoping it's not a refrib but dont think it will be since she wants me to send back everything). I will report back when I get the replacement.
I will be selling it when I get it anyway as I moved to sprint. True unlimited data, $125 port credit per line, True GV integration plus 23% of my monthly bill. I couldnt resist. At least I'll have a brand new g2x to sell when it comes

? what exactly is wrong with your phone. I'm using phoenix blood ROM and I love this phone. Its so smooth and i can do everything i need to do. even people with iphone are jealous.
you guys needa quit being so moralistic with these corporations they screwed us on this phone multiple times and tmobile was trying to pack up and dip on us anyway and hand us over to ATnT so if the dude wants what he paid for what he thinks he deserves let him do it not like LG or Tmobile are going to go bankrupt from it or even care that one dude beat the system .. if anything i hope you do beat the system and get it cause they're some grimmey people for real
See I have nothing wrong with my phone. My phone runs great on weapon and faux's kernal. My mothers phone is being buggy though, or either she is technologically deficient. I also was hoping that the phone i was going to get was going to be supported for a while considering the fantastic specs. Anyway alot can happen in 2 years. We are most likely to see an ics port.

Agreed. You're robbed on a monthly basis from TMo. My line on a family plan is $60 a month for services that literally cost the company nothing. They could charge a fraction of that price and still make a profit margin > 100%. On top of that, TMo tried to dump a faulty device on their customers knowing full-well it had hardware problems. Don't feel bad; take everything you can from corporations and don't look back. They would (and DO) do the same to you.
I've had my share of bad experience with my G2X. Recently on kang's nightlies, I notice gps locks instantly. I've been very happy with my phone for a long time.
My one issue still remains, and its emails on stock app don't sync after 10 hours. If I can find a fix i'd be happy and giddy.
I am pretty sure the email issue doesn't exist on stock cooked 2.3.3 roms but I'm too accustomed to cm7 and the built in notifications. I refer cm7.
There are black screen of death I get but, I get by. Email just drives me mad.
More support for this phone either from T-Mobile or LG will be great. Can't complain now that I'm running BP n supercharger v6 nothing is wrong. Maybe GPS not locking fast enough but is way better than an iPhone.... can't say that I don't want ics cuz i do.... btw if u do get to beat the system I'd like to know how. Cuz I'm 1 month away from leaving T-Mobile and refuse to get 2 yr contract with them

It is amazing how great this phone is.. still kickin..
Any idea where you may go from here? if you have an upgrade you have quite a few nice options at least.
same thing happened to me...but then I just bought another cappy
My suggestion is - backup and keep simple 9-dot lock.
Also I don't keep any financial info on the phone. NFC will fail.
I can't bring myself to ditch the Captivate just yet, though the new HTC One X looks pretty awesome. The windshield mount and desktop stand are one of the best I have ever used thats why I can't tear myself away just yet.
After rooting my Captivate and installing a new ROM (Slim ICS), it's like a new phone.
The One X does look cool, but I'm surprised there's no SD slot. Still, probably no issue for most people.
We'll see how soon the shiny wears off, but ICS on my Captivate is fast, functional and just really nice. So I can wait for a more optimal-for-me phone.
dropped my captivate a couple weeks ago... cracked the screeen...kinda want the nexus =p
Too bad
I don't dare to image it will happen to my cappy
That's terrible man :/....I've had my cappy for a while now and I have fallen back in love with it...first had it and I didn't like it then I got into rooting and stuff and then found how to flash roms and stuff and now I don't need an upgrade I love ittttt

Craigslist usually has them for about $100-150. Sometimes you can find one that's boot looped someone wants to sell, thinking its permanently borked.
Make sure you report it stolen with the phone company. They will mark the imei number as stolen.

You can save the galaxy nexus for future updates that's for sure very few phone lines get actual updates, cough g2x cough, lol. The phone is good but not up to potential in slightest bit when it comes to processors these days. Congrats on the purchase though definitely!!! I would if I could.

Thanks man appreciate it. Yeah I know it's kinda mid tier now when it comes to processing and GPU power. But I kinda just wanted it for the screen and the luxury of not having to worry about updates. Hopefully I can see the G2x soon so that I'm not in much of a loss.
I will miss the G2x though. It's one of those coulda woulda shoulda phones. Great phone most of the time that's for sure!
By the time we "do get" official ICS, another version is out too. We are always going to be one version behind.
Heck, I bet only 1% of the market of android is ICS.
Hopefully Google keeps doing this, I should be ready for a new phone when the Jellybean Nexus comes out, if they keep up the trend.
If I had the spare cash to drop, I'd definitely get it. I HATED the G2x until I started flashing custom roms to it. I figure that by the time my early upgrade comes or full upgrade comes, I can just get a better phone at a better price.
In the meantime, I might actually need that money to buy a new Xbox if my continues to act up like it was on Sunday. >_<
Grr. And I just signed a contract with Verizon 15 days ago. Could use that GSM one with Straight Talk and save 75 a month.

S3 isnt really bigger, just longer and a little thinner but hey its a "new" phone and the community is huge on the other side as well so either one is good. Of course the S3 is newer and will have more features so with that aside its all about preference from that point as both phones are good.

Second if the accident is not your fault (Or if you have comprehensive insurance) put pressure on the insurance company for the value of you car AND it's belongings including your $600+ phone
If the accident is your fault, or your insurance is minimum coverage, check kijiji or craigslist for a used one at a good price. There is always a (wannabe) isheep who cant handle the power of a droid.
thanks guys for all the kind words I'm fine just split my shin open on the steering wheel but I've had way worst injuries than that....my brother has never been in a car crash and the air bag did a number on his hand but we are both fine......but my baby there is no fixing her she is done! I feel so ''out of reach'' without my phone and it hasnt even been 2 hours.

Whoa. How does that happen? sure you didnt mean "chin"? And as stated, insurance WILL cover cost of personals
nope my Shin lol I know I thought the same thing but it happened
Glad to hear you are ok. That's the important part.
As far as phones go, the note is borderline garbage. Had one and it was just a bigger slower SR that came with a pen. S3 is you need the latest release, but honestly I'm going with a Google phone next time. AOSP and timely updates are more important than new add on software to me. I always end up flashing AOSP anyway so why not just go straight there.
Just my couple of pennies worth.
Again glad you're ok tho.
Whoops wrong thread

Thought it was general. derp. Glad you're okay though. Oh and get a S3.
Im glad your ok. I had the note, I liked the pen part of it, but it is just ridiculously big. It hurt my hands after a while of holding it, it just looks silly when your talking on it, and it just felt awkward in my pocket. I exchanged it for the skyrocket and couldn't be happier.
Glad to hear you are alright man. I've had my fair share of crashes...mostly racing in the wrong place.
Get the sgs3 since the skyrocket was a loss. It's the logical decision at this point. It will be a nice little upgrade from the skyrocket but will still be familiar territory for you. Best of luck.
Glad you're ok dude

Agreed; if I were in your shoes I'd get the insurance replacement for $100 (or whatever it is now) and continue to wait for the next Nexus phone. That's what I've been planning to do anyway; no more phones on contract for me.
Seriously bro, the good news here is that you and your brother are largely unscathed. Car accidents can be pretty serious; I remember when I got rear-ended in my Dakota and the entire bed had to be replaced. The cab was largely okay, but I hurt for a day or two afterward. Can't imagine being in a wreck like yours.
get a 4S
