[Q] OTA being rolled out again, any different?

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2362
I downloaded the original GB update back in July, just saw this and haven't had a chance to try it. Anyone know if it is an update over the previous "fix". I sure hope it is, just did the daily battery pull about ten minutes ago. It would be nice to get that fixed.

Nope its 2.3.3

Right, I assumed that would probably be the case. I was talking about the other stuff kernals/basebands or anything at all that could possibly be different which would actually fix this phone.
A friend is downloading it now (he was still on froyo) we will compare and let you guys know if anything appears to have been updated over the first "update/fix".

Ok , it's exactly the same
2.6.32.9
gri40
v21e
7/15/2011 build date for the baseband.
back to reading my cancellation policy...

Can you download an ota using wifi or does it have to be on their 3g/4g network?

What if your not on tmobiles network anymore? I'm in between phones right now and just using my g2x as a mini tab until I decide what my next device will be. Do I need to be a current T-Mobile customer in order to receive the ota thru wifi?

my god

i go there, didn't find out anything with this problem.

This is a known issue.
Problem is with the baseband. It affects all known ROMs. If you want to make phone calls, you'll have to revert back to the older baseband, or go with stock 2.3.4 that was pushed.

nobody can fix that? may be just need cm or miui find out fix.

To those with the new baseband and with custom ROMs, have you tried to update your RIL using getRIL? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibbor.getril&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Even with matching RIL/Baseband it still does the same thing on a custom ROM...verified that yesterday when I manually pushed the RIL to my phone...after submitting the RIL to Rob so he can update his app...

[Q] hellfire sandwich rom

Hello,I searched all forums but cant find a answer to my issues,hopefully someone can help.
I flashed hellfire sandwich rom to my g2x Now my issues are
picture messaging dont work-I can send regular texts but not with pics nor can I receive them
I get process at android ,com has stopped and I click ok bit it keeps coming back until I reboot
the second one is my battery bar indicates a full charge but its been on for about 6 hours now-I did install battery recalibrate but it still does it
third is that my phone number says unknown and my voicemail number is also not known I have a feeling this is related to my mms erros too.
Thats about all please help.I did have cyanogenmod 7.1 installed before and was having the messaging issue then too.I did switch to another version of hellfire after that and everything was working great except my battery indicator had ? mark in it and the phone shut down and had a hard time rebooting.I used g2x scrubber before I installed the hellsandwich rom and followed directions to the t so I dunno whats wrong
Thanksfor any help,Steve

When you go into settings/about phone what baseband shows up?

m6600a-scautnz-2.0.972ot 1 [may 21 2012 16:00:00} TRULGE_08.09.02R_MDM

Were you originally on 2.3.4? I don't know if it will help or not but if so try flashing the new baseband fix zip file. Its a sticky I believe in the g2x general section. I know its meant to fix problems with calls but it couldn't hurt I guess.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

yes I was on 2.3.4 I will give it a shot and let you know how it works out.
Thanks,Steve

No problem. I double checked, its stickied in the general section under “how to fix popping in calls" just download it to SD card and flash in cwm and reboot. Hope it helps!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

well it was worth a try but no go,any other suggestions?

I honestly have no idea. I'm currently running an ICS rom (eaglesblood) and have none of those issues. However my voice mail had the same "no voice mail number" error. I'm assuming you're on t-mobile...if so, just put this number in for your voice mail and it will work properly:
+18056377243 This will definitely fix your voice mail...as for your SMS messages...hopefully justjackyl comes in here and can give you some better information

I think you should try reflashing your rom. Or try a different one. You have a lot of weird issues. When you go from gb to ics or vice versa are you wiping /system?

Good call twitch. Make sure you wipe /system under mounts and storage in CWM!

i attached 2 pics

I switched roms to hellfire 2.4.2 everything works except I have a question mark in battery indicator,no chang if plugged into charger either
phone randomly shuts down on me getril still says ril/baseband dont match i tried switching ril's from the drop down list but nothing changes.
under baseband in getril it say recommended march baseband. Any suggestions?

Whats the model number on the label?
We are not quite sure how you have a may baseband, the P999 basebands carry June and March months. I believe June 15 2011 and the last was March 11 2012.
I keep wondering if your not using the Wind G2x model which is an O2x P990 branded as G2x or even using a P990 in general, which this than would be incorrect ROM and could definitely cause all these issues.
In you screenshot it will say P999 because the ROM build states that, not the phone.
Check your model number sticker please.

Like I said in another thread, I can maintain CM7 nightlies, but it won't be useful at all if the CM team stopped working on this version. The only improvement that I could think of is getting bluetooth call to work on the newer baseband actually.

Anyways, the current release of Cm7, Which would be March's release, is solid. I wasnt, complaining, just curious.

Here's the changelog, several commits to CM7 source code since the 3/01 build, just no build. So if someone syncs and pushes we'd be ok. I've thought about it. I tore down my Linux VMWare a couple months ago because I was just running the nightlies. I remember it was a complete horrible experience. And my other Linux box is running on a P4 with 1.5 GB RAM.
My Dual's and Quad and running Windows.
http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#p999/cm7/next

Reason i got rid of the last CM7 nightly was because out of the blue i just started getting stuck on "1x" signal, and i dont even know how because from what i read thats CDMA. Couldnt get it back on high speed, I wish they would just use the traditional signal symbols like 3g/4g etc. Other then that it was pretty stable except for my MMS issues. Used a metric fuk ton less battery then this oem rom which im only getting 12-14 hours out of, and was alot snappier.

I have a regular 4g icon on my cm7 rom

I flashed the new baseband fix, and phone wouldnt connect to the network, so i reverted back to the old popcorn band lol phone connected but calls sounded like i had my head in a popcorn machine, so i reflashed the new baseband fix, now its reconnecting and making calls again, then i did the RIL update, which was out of date, and heres what i got now, the date is still the same on the baseband, unless there is a newer one out there im not getting.

Runnin fine right now, once again battery life significantly extended compared to the stock rom, i assume it has something to do with the fact that CM7 turns off everything with the screen off. Sucks because it ruins my weather app lol

4.3 for G2X?

Hey guys,
Soo... JB 4.3 is out, and seems quite interesting and worth upgrading to. So, I have a few questions:
1) Will it be worth for the devs to work on 4.3 for the P999?
2) Do you think there will be any roms for it?
3) If no, do you think that the development for the P999 is dead?

First, let me ask you a question. Do you know why we don't have a proper JB ROM yet, or even ICS ROM...?

I'm daily driving a hackfest, and I love it. I'm sure there's many others who can live with a hackfest too.

If there was a 4.3 ROM I'd think it'd be apolkosnik to release it but with a broken radio like the current 4.2.2 ROM out.
There isn't even a hackfest version of android 4.2. There is no complete source to any hackfest for this device anymore I believe. Development is dead unless Maz ends up getting something released if he's still working on anything outside his kernels in my opinion

hmm...closest app to a fully functioning recorder that i have tried so far but still not working correctly. The video freezes up every few seconds while recording and then continues to record again and then repeats the cycle in the playback. Appreciate your tip man but I gotta be honest, I think I'm pretty sh*t outta luck if I want a fully working HD recorder for an ICS ROM on this device lol.

With the right mods you can make your CM7 G2X look like Jellybean:

The SD and Internal SD are reversed, so if you have a larger SD it makes it seem like you have a large internal memory. Also the directory name for the "external" (now your 5gb internal) has changed to /mnt/emmc
