SmartPhoneGeek:
What I know is that LG has their nose to the grindstone trying to get this update out as soon as possible and they won't quit until they are finished and TMO accepts it and sends it out to everyone. To give you an idea of the pace of development happening I received v20t about 2.5 weeks ago and the current version being tested is v21b. The version that was leaked back during the G2x launch was v20c. That's a ton of revisions in a few weeks time!

Assuming LG uses alphabetical designation consecutively, that means there have been 25 revisions since launch, and 8 in the past 2.5 weeks. And they still can't come up with an update they feel is worth releasing.
Seems time to give up on this phone, call it bad hardware or whatever, and move on.
Oh, and I don't want to hear that the update works great, they just want to make it even better. If they could get it stable at all, I have to believe they would be falling all over themselves to get it out to the public, instead of continuing to take this kind of a beating in company image.
I personally think they are fixing the hardware of the phone because it can't be fixed with software updates. That would expalin the re-launch comment. Brace yourselves for the T-Mobile G2x 2.0 in the coming weeks.
dont hype yourself up if you hear something
if it comes out it comes out!
no need to get your hopes up then killed lol enjoy the roms

----------------it's NEWS
I have a feeling if anything was remotely close to being released, there would be another leaked rom and there hasn't been. So, yeah.
The forum mod post is a bit old- this is tmonews response to a slow news day.

a month out from when. that's how the trick the stupid consumers such a us. saying it will be a month out. you didnt see us crossing our fingers behind our backs meaning a month out from the summer of 2012.
Well, I've been patient since launch day... and I am now a member of the X-G2X club. Good luck to the rest of ya'll waiting!
Why do you guys still care about this update? Being on XDA, most of you probably rooted, so why not install CM7 while you're at it? It's very stable and fixes a lot of issues with the device.
Because if we have the official update, the developers here will probably have access to hardware drivers that function in gingerbread, which MIGHT allow us to get functionality of stereo bluetooth and high def video mirroring through hdmi, among other things.

Because none of those roms is 100% functional and still exhibit the same bugs as the stock rom. There is no GB kernel.

u think CM7 is smooth ?? is it your first android man?
u will see performance from CM7 after 3 weeks when u will get official update....
Now it's just FAKE 2.3.4....why? go ask Morfic or Faux123, i didn't have a time
Yea cm7 is great and all but its truly not there fully...a2dp gps and sdcard amongst the most obvious issues.
Really the value of a STABLE gb rom is that a lot of the drivers and system stuff can be moved to a modded ROM. It will be great for all the ROMs when LG gets this out!

Note the mods reply and the number of builds/revisions they are going through. There is work going on for the update, and they also have to update the 2x at the same time, while launching the 3d and updating the G slate. Stock rom has worked well and GB will be welcome with its better battery mngmnt

I don't know about their revision naming scheme, i.e. what constitutes an increase in revision number. And I don't think you do.
Usually more revision means more bugs fixed and better QA testing.

I know we just got 2.3.3 but I'm just wandering why they getting an update so fast and who knows when we will get another one
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Probably never, there are rumors of the g2x getting ICS 4.0 sometime, although that is highly unlikely. You can try out CM7 for 2.3.5.
What he said
LG and T-Mobile won't come out with any updates. LG releasing the source code, they abandoned support.
XDA is only reason this phone gets any kind of love and support.
There is hardly anything noticeable between 2.3.3, 2.3.4, and 2.3.5.
If you want a newer version, do a custom rom. I can't understand why people, on XDA especially, fight so hard to stay on a stock rom that is old and lacking. My neighbor bought a G2x the other day and I NVFlashed his phone in like 4 minutes (mostly due to downloading and finding the XDA thread for the NVFlasher).
Gingerbread is available in a plethera of roms for our device. I'd much rather LG focus their efforts on a timely ICS release.
I just wish nvidia would release drivers. I would love a2dp on the newer roms

I hope we don't get 2.3.4 or 2.3.6 if that comes. I want LG to just focus on getting out 2.4 as near as available as possible. All the learning from vanilla with driver fixes should make 2.4 a snap.
At this point nothing about 2.3 any variants makes any difference after 2.3.3
The G2X vanilla should easily be able to handle Android 4, or 2.4 whatever its named sandwich. The hardware is spec. And should be able to get onto the next version after Ice Cream, at that time it will be like a basic model that can still easily support.
I am expecting 2 more full releases on the phone, as the cost for LG to do, with the drivers worked out, should be very minimal.
Worse case, LG can license a custom ROM, and toss that out for a couple hundred K. 2 man years cost.

It is nice to see you post something other than the CAL... if you really think LG is gonna release anything other than maybe a small updae which i also doubt. maybe youll join with the CAL.. This is it even LG has said they dont even plan on bringing out the camera appp which i thought they would at least do.
As burk said no proof either way. But history means a lot and sicne this debacle i have looked at lg and see this has been nothing new with them. and Updates have been only carrier pushed for bugs from what i have read.
Yes it would be nice to see something new and great for the phone from LG but dont hold your breath.
hmmm
I would rather LG focus on getting all the bugs fix with this phone rather than releaseing a new os version for it plauged with the same issues and froyo and gingerbread

Wouldn't actually work since gtalk works using NEON which our processors don't have. I haven't tried the alternatives (like vtalk our vtok, something like that) but they don't apparently work well. google has to fix it unless there's been a development I missed.

After the fiasco of 2.3.3, LG is never going to touch this phone ever again. It's dead in the water for all they care, and Tmo isn't going to pressure them into updating because they're focused on pimping the Sensation right now.
CyanogenMod is the only way this phone will ever see ICS, I would put money on that.

Hello fellow members just want to say that im happy i traded my samsung galaxy s 4g for this phone. I had the other phone for a few months and just traded it with someone today and im happy i did. the support on this phone in the forums i see is much higher than the galaxy s 4g. looking forward to working with you guys.

enjoy man, great phone when rooted, im currently running eagles blood no problems.
It's an awsome phone. It has its bugs but thanks to the awesome devs here, everything is dope sauce. I'm running rooted stock with Faux123 GB kernel.
Welcome!
Hope you have fun!
Yup! Dido everything before my post. Phone is bad ass when rooted. Running CM7 latest nightly with faux's 3.8 kernal. Smooooooth as butter!
Enjoy and ignore the posts about it being the worse phone ever created.

Welcome and grats on picking up the best phone out there! Enjoy it and like the Guy above me said, ignore the haters.

I will be joining the GTX ranks this weekend as I switch from Sprint to T-Mobile. I'm glad to see that many people like this phone. Haters are gonna hate, no matter what phone they have. Some people aren't happy with anything and that's just the way it is. I'm looking forward to developing a new ROM and some themes for this phone. I've done a few here and there for the HTC Hero and the Optimus S. So, this will be a nice change. Just out of curriosity, are there any vanilla 2.3.5 ROMs for this phone? I did a quick browse of the Dev section, but it looks like everything is CM and I did see one 2.3.3 ROM. Nothing against CM, but I like the idea of a vanilla build. I guess I will have to start developing the minute I get home from the T-Mobile store, lol.
I believe Faux's 2.3.5 build complete AOSP with tiny CM mods in it but completely his own work from scratch, not 100% positive but pretty sure. Happy to hear about a new dev jumping in the mix.

You buy an unlock code off eBay for $3.00. Then insert an AT&T sim in it and turn it on. If the sim unlock entry screen shows you are good to go. You just enter the unlock code you bought off eBay and unlock the phone. If the screen doesn't come up then you need to flash the phone back to stock, unlock it and then flash another rom of your choice. Some custom roms don't have the code to bring up the unlock screen when needed. I unlocked mine on stock rom. Was fast and easy. Code was $2.99 from eBay.
BTW, on AT&T you will only get Edge speeds, no 3G. :-(

UPDATE, most recent news is here. T-Mobile US testing is complete. OTA soon to come.
Update: T-Mobile confirms the Update will be available starting on Wednesday 5/16/2012.
Update: A flashable zip version of the T-Mobile Stock ICS OTA is already available here on XDA. Thanks to Paten for finding the thread and of course thanks to Steve0007 for making it available to the XDA community.
Update: WiFi Calling Mod ripped right from the T-Mobile ICS OTA is now up!
Update: Confirmation someone has received the official OTA.
No Big News...
No big news here. I think we already knew that it wasn't going to happen. And all because of a new phone that is severely crippled, the One S.
Once again, if you want ICS bad enough study and learn the fine art of rooting your phone and pulling a custom rom. Plenty of them out there!

Ummm when I hear trust me, I want to check and make sure my wallet is in my back pocket, my watch is still on my wrist and my fillings are still in my mouth.
Oh yea and Marketing has no control... MY ASS it doesn't!
You can root and go back to stock with s on with ease, yet everyone still complains. Makes no sense to me. ARHD is pretty much stock and works perfectly. All of the T mobile stuff works flawlessly for me on my US 4G which leads me to my next point. T-Mobile US is definitely holding the release back waiting for the One to launch. Its their choice though.
Root and be happy. After all, this site is here for that sole purpose. Don't get why people are pissed off yet still holding out on rooting, when all of the tools are here for them. Its such a simple process!

As if it can't be more likely that T-Mobile sent the buggy ICS update back. We already know HTC just released a patch for it. So even HTC is not trying to proclaim the first ICS release was perfect.
The Sensation is on EOL with T-Mobile, they want the last update to be good enough to walk away from. Not have to deal with complaints and another later OTA patch.
The T-Mobile update matters, because that could be why we got a patch from HTC so quickly. Also, there's no telling if the T-Mobile edition might have other updates.
Yea, we're all running custom ROMs already, so no big deal there is a delay. But just the same, the topic is worth keeping an eye on.

At Tatdude806, I agree with you. Wrong is a state of mind.
Now about the post that page of the T-Mobile forum thread. I for one was not expecting the update this month. To be honest if it gets pushed middle to late next month it will suprise me. But thanks for the info Darnell_Chat_TN.
Last if anyone thinks T-Mobile does not want to compromise any potential profits for the HTC One S by updating the HTC Sensation 4G too early. Well let me tell you, start thinking it cause it is no doubt in my mind it is. Yes Marketing may actually have no control over a software update, but profits do. Meaning if the higher ups in the T-Mobile corperate offices see it as a potential damaging factor to possible profits of the release of HTC's New flag ship device..

I'm sorry to hear it, though not really surprised. The vagaries of quality assurance between two companies makes it pretty inevitable that it would much longer than normal.
Though disappointing, I'd rather have a quality build with no errors - particularly in the trouble-some wifi calling app - than get a stock build that has to be patched ad nauseum.

Not quite everything is in the ARHD release. I really miss the original swype keyboard from the stock rom. Maybe it could be added after ICS release by TMOUS, because I tried the swype beta, and did not like it as much as the original.

I totally agree and want to see some ROMs based on the official US update when it comes out.
I'm just saying its crazy to let yourself actually get upset about it when you can get a fully functional ICS Rom loaded on your phone with ease.
As far as the peeps who need WiFi calling to work, (we are all adults here for the most part), use GB until the official ota drops and stop complaining. We are 100% certain it is in the works. GB works perfectly fine until then.

Restoring Stock
To those of you that are saying it is a relatively simple matter to restore the phone to stock and S-On if you want following an ICS upgrade, am I wrong that to be left with the impression from what I've read that it is actually somewhat risky to roll back from ICS on the Sensation to the stock GB. Maybe I'm misinterpreting what I've seen, but the feeling I have is that yes it is pretty easy to upgrade to ICS, but that the firmware upgrade required to get ICS is difficult to undo if you want to rollback to the T-Mobile stock GB Rom.
This doesn't surprise me...tipical T-Mobile slowness!

In short, yes, you are wrong. If you are s-off rolling back software/firmware is simple and no more risky than it was to flash non-US ICS firmware and radio! Yes there is risk involved, but that same risk was there when flashing ICS so why worry now if you weren't worried before?

I've done it 4 times in the past two days... Just don't loose power in the middle of a radio flash...
I've recently told AT&T to FO. I went & bought a Straight Talk SIM, changed the necessary settings & all is working great. But now with AT&T's chains of servitude cut asunder I am looking for a bit of fun. Fun in the form of a new ROM for my Inspire. So, can anyone suggest a good ROM?
What I'm looking for in a ROM:
#1 Everything works!
Other than that I don't care if it's not the latest version of whatever or if it has or doesn't have some new function or what-have-you. I just want everything to work (I.E. camera, sound, etc..). Well, that & I want control of what apps are installed. Having dozens of useless bloatware apps makes me feel dirty inside. I mean really, a Blockbuster app... AYFKM?
It currently has 2.3.5 w/Sense 3.0 Software # 3.20.502.52 710RD (AT&T rolled out this version a few months ago.)
All suggestions are welcome.
If your rooted IceCold Sandwich 8.8 over at the DesireHD forum. ICS solid.

Android Revolution HD 6.3.3 is a solid rom with the same base you have now, just speed improvements and bloatware removed.
The one that works best once you try them out.

Kool, thanks guys for the suggestions. I'll probably try the base one first then the IceCold second. One question about rooting. My phone isn't unlocked. I got the code but when I installed the new SIM I wasn't prompted to unlock. Since the new SIM is AT&T compatible it just accepted the SIM. Am I going to need to unlock before I root? It's going to be a PITA for me to find someone with a non AT&T or ST SIM unless someone knows another way to get to the SIM Unlock screen prompt besides inserting an unaccepted SIM.
You mean your not rooted. When you use Ace Hack Kit to root your phone it should unlock it as well. But you don't need to be unlocked to run custom roms. You do need to be rooted for custom roms. And for gods sake read and read and really read the effen manual before you attempt anything and get yourself familiar with the steps involved. Good luck and enjoy the learning.

Thanks for the info. I've rooted & installed ROMs before on a few old T-Mobile G1 phones about 2 years ago. I got roughly a dozen of broken ones that I disassembled & repaired then played around a bit with different ROMs. But while I've done it before I just wasn't sure about the unlocking bit. I am curious though, does the "rooting = unlocked" apply to all Androids ? And you're definitely correct about the RTFM, there's no way I could have done it before without doing so. But the process for the Inspire, from what I've been reading, seems about half as difficult to do as what I went through before. Thanks again & I'll let you all know how it goes.
Not to sure if rooting/unlocking applies to all androids. I have rooted my inspire and my wife's infuse and its so weird that for my inspire its a little difficult to root but so easy to change the rom. But the Samsung are totally the opposite, so easy to root but pain in the rear to change roms. Still trying to get the ics on hers but end up in bootloops LOL.

Wrong i flash a rom on my S2 the same way I flashed roms on my Inspire.

I was using ARHD 7.0.3, great ROM. I just flashed Jelly time R22, it seems real stable enough for a daily driver. The final decision needs to come from you and what ROM you like.

I am currently using Sabsa Prime 8.5. I love it. I have not found any major bugs. The only thing I found not working was panorama and burst mode on the camera. You will find the most current thread in the Desire HD section since they are relatively the same phone. It is ICS 4.0.4 with Sense 4.1. It is fast and smooth. It is my daily driver.
