Just got my g2x last night, well second, and it's defective for sure

First off came with gingerbread. Second, the bastard froze every time I hooked it to a charger.... running the exact same things as my other.... Well, that's definitely hardware and am getting a new one....
Point if this thread was cause in the past I've read troubleshooting things and fixes, but wanted to say if this is your issue don't even bother trying to fix it... 100% hardware issue..
I know there are good ones as I've had a few, I love this phone and will return til I get another good one... Defective for sure, just exchange it...

What about the screen bleed?
Sent from my LG-P999

Received mine yesterday and...yup...screen bleed...left top corner seems worst. I also took a pic of what it seems, screen separation.

Mine has the screen separation issue as well, but it doesn't bother me.

Minor bleed but still there, and still a lil screen separation, but to be fair the sensation had a tiny separation also..... Weird thing though is box is dated may 16th. So gingerbread wasn't out when this was made and its not a refurb, so how the hell did gingerbread get on there? Did they open boxes and flash the older phones? Weird.. My box was cut open too with the sim in there (new line)...

It's defective because it's LG, life is certainly Not Good when you own a LG "smart"phone
Ask them to exchange for a Sammy

Had a vibrant. No thanks.. This phone is awesome. Trust me I've got a perfect one and had a few other perfect ones but dust and pixel issue.. There out there, I love this beast. Just saying if yours does this its defective and there have been same on every device.. Just a bad one out the batch..

Why don't you sell your next one that Tmo gives you and buy mine which has never rebooted, has very minimal bleed and doesn't have a single bug I notice. It is in like new condition and the only way you can tell its used is by the tiny surface scratches on the metal strip on the back which is almost impossible to avoid.

he aint jacking no threads, he and I been chatting a bit about this, also in the past. He makes a good point, if he has a good one, Ill take it, I dont care if its used and he seems honest to me. Also hes said nothing but good things about the g2x, yes he prefers his sensation, but thats not the point. I appreciate his offer and will consider it if on thursday my new one is the same.
Thanks JW

I agree. The damn thing sucked at locking anything. Although the rest of the phone was pretty awesome minus the super Amoled. Yes its colorful but once you have a g2x, the colors are close and the clarity and crispness of the letters are night and day vs the two.
Also I just love the for factor of the g2x. I still think 4.0 is the perfect size. I love the curved edges and the way the Hdmi port looks with its cool lil cover. I love how the grills are at the bottom. The phone just looks like a mean machine. Hell I actually like that extra space at the bottom so many people frown on. I love this damn phone. I just was saying that Its true, there are defective ones that have screen of death.
And I say again, just exchange it till you get one that works. I know ive had a few none issue ones with rebooting or freezing while charging.
SO YA<stop the trolling person who said Samsuck.. lol jk

jrwingate6, been blathering this same post much more than 3 times. He goes on and on how his phone works wonderfully. He got the phone for free, is now saying he uses the Senstation, and claims he can not even sell the device. A used G2x goes for between 250-375 on eBay all day long. Still this guy whines on thread after thread that he can not liquidate his phone.
If he wanted it sold it would be sold, period.

That is not screen bleed, its IPS glow....its just part of the trade-offs of the technology. AMOLED super tight text reading suffers, but the AMOLED display is superfast and has perfect blacks.
re: IPS Glow see http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1036697869&postcount=1312 as just one of many examples of explanation.

what are you running? It certainly could be exactly what your are running. I also just posted a thread on how to set up a new G2x, would be interesting if you would trying that and see if it helps. What is it you have loaded? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198094

Just sold my G2X

I just sold my G2X on Ebay and I took a pretty good hit on it. I lost more money on this phone than any other phone I've ever sold. Had I known this in the beginning, I would have never purchased it as I like making good investments and usually always sell my phones after 3 to 5 months. My G2X was in mint condition with absolutely no scratches to the display or body. I only got $280 for it with free shipping so in reality, the device sold for about $270. I also laid my 100% feedback rating on the line with a garonte of a non buggy device that has never rebooted or froze with minimal screen bleed. Does the G2X have that bad of a name to drive the resale price down by $270? That just doesn't make sense considering I sold my Vibrant for $310 eight months later.
To the people I have had intelligent conversations with over the past 4 months, ill see you around if we ever happen to own the same phone again.

Peace out bro. Hope you don't miss it like I did. But sounds like you won't as the sensation suits you..
I'll probably see you in the next samsung (sgs2 or hercules) forum if they come to tmobile..
peace.
Regardless of the bad name, I love this phone.... See ya around

Not really a burden. It just didn't do me any good sitting there. I'm just trying to understand why this phone dropped in valuevso much. It doesn't make sense. After 4 months you should be able to sell your phone for about $150 less than retail value. I even stated it was bug free and I would lay my 100% feedback on the line. Its not like the G2X is a bad phone.

Well, I see where you're going with this... I wouldn't of sold it for $270. I'd rather just keep it.

Here was my dillema. I am definitely buying the GSII and I'm going to purchase it on a contract so I can keep my rates when ATT buys T-Mobile. I have a feeling there going to tell everyone who's not under contract to go **** themselves. I did think about selling my Sensation and using my G2X until the GSII gets here but in the end, I would have sold my G2X either way whether its now or next month. I was affraid if I waited to long, the value would drop even more.

First, AT&T will never get it's grubby little paws on T-Mobile! NEVER I say Never!
Second, you should've waited a month or two before selling your G2x. The resale price is going to increase.

I plan on selling mine when the new Nexus comes out. I'm not even gonna risk it with the Galaxy S 2. I absolutely can't stand Custom UI's. I love Stock Android, and timely updates. The G2X had one of those things. haha.
My dad got lucky, and got a G2X for only $50! He picked up the floor model at this cellphone store, and oddly enough... It was in PERFECT condition. They had install in Invisible Shield on it before it was put on display. He has no screenbleed, and no freezing issues. -.-

I don't like custom UI's either but I use ADW on top of everything so it doesn't really matter whats under it. The reason why I like using ADW on top of Touch Wiz is because TW brings the very good features to the table that is not on stock Android such as a better messaging client, better email client and better contacts list. I love being able to swipe on contacts to call or message them and I also like the idea of having all of my controls built into the notification area.
When it comes to updates, Samsung has been the best with releasing them out of any other manufacturer since the release of the GSII. I think it's already received about 5 updates. Samsung has changed gears and there pulling away from the other manufacturers. They realize how important mobile technology is and therefore are putting more resources into there mobile division. If you think about it, Samsung probably has more money and more resources than any other Android manufacturer. Samsung is being highly innovative now being the first manufacturer to add hardware acceleration to there browsers. I also like how the other big manufacturers are looking to lock their devices down while Samsung is giving phones to devs so they can start developing for them.

I love Samsung's hardware, but I hate the build quality. I like having weight to my phone. Maybe when the Hercules is released, I can give that a try.

Next phone after SGS4G?

I think im going to jump on this new Sony Xperia Z or ZL (liking the Z looks better) once it becomes available factory unlocked. Should work on T-Mobile's "4G" right? My poor SGS4G is just not cutting it these days. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Don't get me wrong I like my phone but its a love/hate relationship at times. Running Barebones Gingerbread and its a hit or miss with stability, etc.
I recently move to the DC are from Miami and just also realized we have been refarmed for 1900! So I might have better luck geting any Sony Xperia phone for now.

There's no problem with this community. Some people do, some don't and some full in the middle. I don't want to speak for erik, but, I have a feeling he puts his work out publicly so others may enjoy it as well. It isn't leaching the way I look at it. More of a enjoy what you have and stop asking for more idea. So yeah 4.2 is stable enough and it will most likely be released soon. One final thought before I go, you are part of the community you have a problem with. Be one of those who do.

My next phone is going to be a rock.
It's super stable, but does have a tendency to chip a bit.
I'm not that concerned about dropping it.
Because of lack of concern about dropping it, I can TROW IT!
No dependencies on Proprietary Software or Hardware Designs. It's open source like physics!
No need for a cell plan!
I will have less people bugging me about paying bills and doing stuff for them and can concentrate on what I have to do.
Hope that helps you make your next phone decision

Jokes aside, I might get a SGSIV. Not just to continue with the tradition of having a galaxy s device with a 4 at the end of it SGS4G-->SGS4.
Bryan, you should get the Stone III. It's stronger than the rock, it's got a huge screen(face), It's got great signal, you can get rid of everything out of your path if you throw it. It's water resistant all the way down to the bottom of the ocean, and when placed in space, it attracts objects at a faster rate than the rock, so you can make your screen bigger. My only negative points are that it doesn't fit in my pocket, and unfortunately, it won't last through my expedition to the core. You may also need to defragment its hard drive cause the stone has a tendency to fragment at times.

Lol I agree with hechoen it's not leeching.
And if I can be honest here I think I'm the user who shares the most lol if anything people have complained about me putting out builds too quick. As for 4.2.1 I haven't put it out because I just stabilized it today and my plans were to work on 4.1.2 until it's stable then work on 4.2.1 the only reason I released cm10.1 was for people to play with and see that it is coming but I got bombared with posts about instability battery life and PMs so why would I rush myself when I said alpha build. So I'll still stick to my plan and go with that. Not because people piss me off but because it's not ready enough.

Thank you based beastmode
I still have another year and a half on contact, so I'll be sticking with the sgs4g for a while. It does everything I want it to and almost runs the latest version of android. Honestly I think phones with quad core processors and 2 gigs of ram are huge over kill

I'm moving on to the Nexus 4 (arriving today, even though it said 1 - 2 weeks, it took 5 days). The SGS4G has fared me well for over 2 years, and thanks to the developers here, I wasn't stuck on TouchWiz. Had GB months before Samsung updated it, and ICS wouldn't have even been possible.
It sucks that this phone was pretty much abandoned by Samsung, and never got support for official Cyanogen because of it's wonky file systems. If only they had kept it more like the Vibrant and just upgraded the modem. It was a great phone for it's time, and still works well even with 2 years of heavy use. Happy to be moving on, but sad to retire a phone that's been in my pocket for so long.

we might get CM support later.

I went to Galaxy Nexus after hard bricking my SGS4G and and got my Nexus 4 at the end November. Loving my Nexus devices.

Moved onto Nexus 4 since December, as a Xmas gift to myself.
I'm still checking SGS4G forums though, since there's still great development.

Plus you need somebody committed enough to maintain the device FOREVER! (say forever in that obnoxious voice)

So Long Suckers....!

LOL! Sorry - I just knew that this would get eyes!
Made the jump... Using the S3 & totally loving it. Just like my Charge though, I, within 24 hours, totally bricked it & spent a long night without sleep unscrewing it... Of course, got to hear the whole speil from the fiancée telling me THIS is why you will not be rooting my phone...
Just wanted to let anyone who's still here know that it's been a great ride with the Charge. Frustrating as hell as I saw new features roll out & knew I didn't have the hardware to run it but the Devs here & elsewhere made it a totally fun trip & made a phone with issues from the gate usable and powerful. Certainly more so than Samsung seems to have intended...
I'm just so darn glad to be able to ROM @ will & have actual choices. Dwith, YOU ARE THE MAN! Unfortunately, you've been the only guy here for the last year (NOT to discredit all those who've helped with theming, hacks, scripts, etc... but you've been the motivating force behind development for the last year or so, I believe). Gummy Charged, Nitro, et al, jumped ship long ago. And while Tweaked made this phone awesome, it's been the only
choice for too long...
So to all of you still here, thanks! Every one of you has made this forum a great time and while I have never met a one of you in person nor spoken with anyone other than through this open forum, I feel like all of you guys are great. I'm sure one of you or so is a mass murderer or some such, but hey, how bad can someone really be using a phone like the Charge....?
Again, thanks y'all. I'll keep trolling the forums on occasion and stay in intermittent touch but wanted to make sure I said thanks.

LOL! Sorry - I just knew that this would get eyes!
Made the jump... Using the S3 & totally loving it. Just like my Charge though, I, within 24 hours, totally bricked it & spent a long night without sleep unscrewing it... Of course, got to hear the whole speil from the fiancée telling me THIS is why you will not be rooting my phone...
Just wanted to let anyone who's still here know that it's been a great ride with the Charge. Frustrating as hell as I saw new features roll out & knew I didn't have the hardware to run it but the Devs here & elsewhere made it a totally fun trip & made a phone with issues from the gate usable and powerful. Certainly more so than Samsung seems to have intended...
I'm just so darn glad to be able to ROM @ will & have actual choices. Dwith, YOU ARE THE MAN! Unfortunately, you've been the only guy here for the last year (NOT to discredit all those who've helped with theming, hacks, scripts, etc... but you've been the motivating force behind development for the last year or so, I believe). Gummy Charged, Nitro, et al, jumped ship long ago. And while Tweaked made this phone awesome, it's been the only
choice for too long...
So to all of you still here, thanks! Every one of you has made this forum a great time and while I have never met a one of you in person nor spoken with anyone other than through this open forum, I feel like all of you guys are great. I'm sure one of you or so is a mass murderer or some such, but hey, how bad can someone really be using a phone like the Charge....?
Again, thanks y'all. I'll keep trolling the forums on occasion and stay in intermittent touch but wanted to make sure I said thanks.

I'll be acquiring the S4 when it arrives. They are speculating the end of this month.

Couldn't make myself do it. I'm buying 2 phones @ a time. The Charge for me & the fiancée was $600+ back in the day and I just can't make myself do that again for the newest / best out there. I've been keeping my eyes open for @ least the last 6 months, knowing that if I was smart with my contract renewal, I'd be able to get the S3 @ a serious discount. I really wanted the 32gb version but for $100 and some change, got 2 of the S3s (16gb) on a contract renewal. And, like Mr. Burns would say....
Eeexxxcccceeellllent....!

I'm up next month. So that's the only reason, I'm looking into that.

According to my sources, the GSM version of the S4 will be out April 28th (everyone knows this), while the CDMA/Verizon is delayed about a month later, apparently due to "stringent network testing policies". I too will be making the jump when it's time, but until then I'll still be here.

Preorders for the US Cellular GS4 (which is basically the exact same thing) start on April 16th.

i picked up gnex for $150. works good enough for me. sadly, neither my galaxy note 2 nor the gnex are as good at playing music as the charge is. so the charge isn't fully retired yet!

So Samsung stopped using the wolfson dac then? I know the gnex didnt have it but I would expect the note 2 to.

from what i've read it's a cheaper lower quality wolfson, but no official voodoo support. asop roms have unofficial, but i don't want to lose my s pen.
no audio boost i've tried gets as loud without distortion like the charge + voodoo does. at stock the gnex and gn2 are pitifully quiet when hooked up to a car stereo.

S3 and Note 2 are fully supported by Boeffla Sound, which is essentially the same thing. I've been using AC!D+Noozoxide on my Note 2, and it sounds great.

i've tried just about everything. i spent almost 3 hours in my car switching different rom, kernels and audio hacks and nothing came close the the sound level and quality of the charge. worst thing is when it's set too loud it'll actually pause the music player and set the volume to about 60%. it's happened with every music player i've tried - noozy, power amp, google, samsung...
i've used the voodoo hack and it works the best but still not as good as the charge. the kernel i use isn't supported by boeffla.
i'm using the sprint version if that makes any difference.

S4, Getty here soon!

I hope so I can't wait for the Nexus 5.

cant wait more
its soo exiting.... hope thats true!!!

There's nothing accidental about the leaked phone in the slightest.
It'll be good to see when it's officially announced but I just find it funny how so many people can actually believe it was an accident.

Google took down the video soon after this was realized, video was set to private. I think they replaced it as well.
A lot of sites kept the video including The Verge and shared it. So in my guess it was accidental....... Maybe lol
Maybe they're building hype.

Definitely building the hype, in my opinion. They've managed to keep KitKat a secret from pretty much everyone (including loads of Google employees) so they wouldn't be so simple in making such a mistake on the video unveiling the newest member to Mountain View.

Yeah I was surprised Google employees were unaware of the name and Kit Kat's partnership. The device seen looks great! Looking forward to its release.

It just goes to show that paying people enough money will help them keep their mouth shut
It does look nice but a bit of a strange mix. From the close up pictures it looks like another LG Nexus but the phone itself looks more like a Sony model. It could just look that way because of a case but I'm not too sure.

It almost looks like the matte finish on the back of the new Nexus 7 (2013).. Maybe they're trying to make their nexi (sp?) more uniform..?

Yeah im pretty sure it was accident just like when they edited the video they didnt notice the device being shown...good marketing thats all hopefully the nexus 5 comes out soon

It should be another LG device. HTC made the first two (G1 and HTC Nexus) then Samsung (Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus) now LG. I'm guessing manufactures get two shots at designing a Nexus phone for Google.
Same with the Tablets. Asus so far has made both Nexus tablets.
Either way I'm excited.

I really hope this new nexus has a goddamned sd card slot, unlike the others
I might choose to buy it but can't risk my data getting sealed away forever if the phone gets bricked

I hadn't thought about it that way. Maybe Sony will be the next one to get a shot then considering it does look like it's leaning towards a Sony build.

It won't do because Nexus devices haven't had expandable memory before (at least as far as I can think of).

ahh crap, well i really hope so, from what i know nexus devices have always had good batteries, great performance, pure AOSP and the latest android of the time, i mean, the sd card slot is the only good thing they lack

I believe up until the Nexus S, they all had SD cards. But that was WAAAAAYYY before cloud storage. And I believe that's why they don't have SD cards anymore, Google wants you to use their Google drive storage and music cloud services with a Google phone. Seeing how devices are expanding their internal every time a new phone comes out, the Nexus 5 SHOULD come with 32/64g variants. 32 is more than enough for me. Im currently at 11g with my S3 and used the SD very little.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4

the fact is, here in Italy 3G is a total f*ck-up, HSDPA is unstable, and i can for no reason rely on internal storage
guess i'm gonna have to get one, open it, add an sd card slot on my own, close it, pick a god and pray him to make it work
hell, i don't want to deal with bloatware again (samsung/acer/htc/any other oem) or lack of features, if i just could build a freaking fully-featured phone on my own :banghead:

I wonder if this is Google's way of competing with the iPod Touch or it is just gonna be a Phablet
