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.

The entire sgs system was total crap. I had 2 captivates neither of which could carry a gps lock. Sammy said it would be fixed with software and released the sgs2. Never samsung again.

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.

Your next Verizon phone will be.....

I've got the galaxy s3, and an old thunderbolt, I'm due to upgrade the thunderbolt soon and I was wondering what phones may be coming in the next couple of months. I also have a Nexus 7 and love it, if a new Nexus phone had Lte and an sd slot, it would be a no brainer for me but I don't know if I'll get that lucky. My gs3 is the one I carry, and the best phone I've ever owned, but I may put it on my other line if the right replacement came along. What are you guys looking forward to?

If your going for right now you have two options the droid DNA or note 2. I would personally go for a note 2.. But if you wanna wait a couple more months you have the galaxy s4 coming out soon

I've been thinking about waiting for the s4 but the note 2 looks pretty sweet as well. I know the DNA is supposed to be great, but I'm leary of htc because my thunderbolt has been pretty lousy, particularly when it comes to battery life.

Yeah I know what you mean with the whole HTC thing lol, so now it looks like its down to 2 devices the note 2 or s4.. If your like most ppl and always want the latest and greatest then I think you should wait for the s4 but if you want something right now then go for the note 2

Wait until summer or fall.
S4 in Summer, Note 3 in fall or winter.

Probably an S4, IF Samsung keeps the phone dimension the same, or smaller.
Ideally, a top spec phone in the size of Motorola Razr M is perfect for me. I wish phone makers would stop trying to out-size each other.

I'm also holding off on the note 2 because I'm not interested in rooting the phone, and Verizon has significantly limited the amount of apps that work with multi view. My understanding is that you can't use YouTube, twitter, etc etc. Why would they lock that down? Or am I wrong?

Oh my bad you want me to speculate what phone I am going to get based on rumors. I don't know when the next galaxy note or galaxy S is going be out until Samsung actually announces the phones and whatever other phone for that matter. I can't really say I am looking forward to anything that has yet to come to fruition so I can't get all gadget nerd about it. There is also a lot of under the radar development going on so I have until 6/12/14 to figure out what my next phone will be. The only sure thing is that Canonical hopes to have Ubuntu smartphones by 2014.

It's a reference to the pot calling the kettle black. I stand by my point that I was simply asking if anyone knew of any devices that maybe I hadn't considered. You literally chimed in for the sole purpose of pointing out that you had no interest in the conversation. That didn't make any sense to me, sorry if my original comment offended.

I know what you meant about "the pot called the kettle black" I just responded in accordance to the comment. What I meant in my original post was my next upgrade isn't due until 6/12/14 so I am not thinking about my next phone. The last time I checked literally means that I am not thinking about my next phone. There is no hidden meaning in regards to my interest in your post and my humblest apologies if you thought so. You have an upgrade soon you can go with the current selection of phones or you can do what I did and went month by month until the phone you want is available. You can always Google CES 2013 as they are unveiled some smartphones not mentioned before. What am looking forward to is 2014 when I have a better assessment on what smart phones are out in my upgrade year. Also I am bed ridden from surgery there is but so much I can do for the next 3 weeks.

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

the iPhone 6. Apple went so crazy this time! They used android 4.3 KLP and it's a nexus device, so it gets google updates!!
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.

Stone III is ok. I'm thinking about getting the IRON 4G. It's solid! I'll probably never go to outer space or the core of any planet. So I'm probably good.

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.

Waiting for sgs4....staying away from ANY HTC, and cannot see buying anything non expandable or no ability to change out battery.....

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.

I'll be acquiring the S4 when it arrives. They are speculating the end of this month.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

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....!

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!
