G2x Thread of Love

I love this phone!
Stock ROM, rooted.
Battery lasted yesterday from 630am till 9pm. Gmail, Plume, 4 phone calls, etc.
Reboots/freezes...I had two a couple days ago, switched SD cards and no more issues.
Connectivity...no wifi issues, no issue with 4g...haven't tried bluetooth yet.
Screen bleed...I think I have a little, barely noticeable.
Anybody else have some love for this amazing device?

I got it on 4/20 and I have been enjoying it so far. This is my first smartphone too. I seem to have a bit of screen bleed but only noticable when in complete darkness and near max brightness. Besides this the phone has been great. Very customizable.

love over here! stock, only added apps because honestly im pleased w/ the speed/performance so far. no screen bleed ( or maybe i do but its just isnt noticable) reboots or course but the phone boots in like 30 secs so its not that serious. decent battery life even w/ running a live wallpaper. just waiting for a stable cm7 to see what all the hype is about ( my 1st android phone ) or gingerbread and go from there!

I have nothing but love for this phone!

I like everything except no LED for notifications when the screen is off and all the software bugs.

I'm actually really happy with this phone ..its blazing fast and a good looking phone too. Had reboot issues at first but removed bloatware and been cool ever since ... oh yeah and rooted it in minutes... such a user friendly phone ... battery life is ok but what do you expect from a powerhouse phone...

I love this phone also... No issues for me... Haters will hate I love this beast.

Hahahah, its great to see this thread. Seems like so many people don't like this phone, it was getting a little depressing. I'm loving mine. Blindingly fast, easy to root, bootloader is open, and after a battery calibration my battery life is fantastic. I have a bit of lcd bleed, but honestly its not much (you have to really look for it to see it). Glad there are others enjoying this phone like I am.

Sign me up for the thread of love, I just bought this phone...will comment shortly but i am happy i own the fastest phone currently found in the world. Not to mention CNET's editors choice award & high praise from PCMag among others.

i see alot of hater threads and i have posted in a few
my only issue is the back light bleeding...... if and when i find a device with minimal amount of bleeding this phone will be perfect!
i dont understand how people can complain about battery life when they have all there synch settings set to 5 mins and screen timeout set @ 30 mins and then sit on it all day...
i play music for at least 2 hours a day in my car (4000 watt DA subs FTW!)
i talk on it for about 30 mins a day (mom and random calls)
i txt ALL DAY (gf and brother at least 200 each a day)
i TETHER! for about 2 hours a day and after all that still have about 30%
its not your old razor that got 4 days of battery with heavy use it has to power a BEAUTIFUL (without bleeding) screen...... let alone all the bull spit drivers that LG threw in there
just wait for a BIONIX RoM and a MorFic UV/OC kernel then decide!!!
i give this phone 9.5/10 all day!!!!!

Finally a positive thread lol. My galaxy s has been gathering dust since the day I got this phone. I love everything about it. Honest its sort of a bummer going into g2x forums because of all the problem threads lol (not that I blame them). ONLY problem I have is the screen bleeding and I dont even notice it. Only time that ever comes to mind is when I browse xda and see all the threads.

well dont be mad but i get my third G2x in the mail today... and im gonna make a video of the bleeding on all three (i still have the other two) and make one more BLEEDING HATER THREAD i know its gotta stop some time but this will be the LAST chance/response that I personally will address the issue at hand
then im going to send it to LG as they want pictures..... but i think a video describing it will be a little better for the paper pushers @ LG that think is not a issue and you should just turn the brightness down or on auto (that was the answer they gave to the problem)

Love this phone. My only complaint is the amount of times I have to peel off my speck case and pull the battery because it locks up.

Even though I'm not bothered by the bleeding I am going to wait for however long it takes them to put out a new batch of phones without the issue them im going to warranty for a new one. Doing it now doesnt make a difference because the entire first batch of phones has the problem.

I got to say this phone is a beast! I love it as well. Although I admit the bleeding problem but I think once new batches are out then t-mobile would not give us any problem to replace them.
Coming from a Vibrant and I don’t know how to even compare the two.
* GPS works better than my Garmin Nuvi, It locks while the maps are loading. The compass works like charm. I remember my Vibrant was a joke, it would take minutes to lock and the compass never worked at all. And I replaced the vibrant 4 times!
* The look and feeling of G2x is amazing, you feel like you are holding a nice expensive phone in your hand. I cant even compare to the plastic vibrant.
* The screen is a lot better and crisp on G2x, If I turn both phones and compare them side by side, you can notice the cloudy and high contrast screen of vibrant right away(so called "super amoled"). Only con for G2x is the bleeding on the corners.
* Wifi works better on G2x as well, I never have wifi reception on the vibrant while in the bedroom. But now G2x has full reception.
* Volume and power button on G2x is awesome. Very nicely laid out and have great feeling. I hated the vibrant buttons!
* I don’t know why but I heard some people talking about bad sound quality and low speaker volume. I compared G2x to both Iphone4 and SGS vibrant, and G2x is better than those two.
* Great camera, flash, FFC, and back cover..
* Above all, this phone is going to have a great support! not only 2 weeks that the phone has been released and we already have a beta CM7! in couple weeks, we will probably have a great functioning stable CM7 on our phones and I am also hoping first CM8 when Google releases the ice cream!
* Only concern that I have is the current baseband modem is a little buggy, but I know we will see new modems in mater of time.

I do love the phone, but unlike many of you that just got it and love it, I've had it since it was first released, and my love for it has waned as bugs have started to reveal themselves. So don't speak too soon if you just got the phone or you may be eating your words.
First came the random reboots, but then they went away.
Then I noticed the stuck on "goodbye" screen during shut down that required a battery pull.
Then yesterday I had a un-provoked factory reset happen on me.
Again it's a great piece of hardware, but even those of you claim to love the phone have to admit that LG quality control is lacking and there certainly are bugs to squashed. Just b/c you had great success with your phone doesn't mean the phone is great overall, it just means you've been lucky or haven't had the phone long enough.

I think many users are happy with it.
Mine only had one lockup from the day I purchase about 2 weeks ago.
Screen backlight leak/bleeding is minimal so it's not that bad.
HDMI is pretty cool when playing games on big screen.
Battery is OK but I only get up to 3.5 hours (from full to 15%) of continuous streaming mp3)
Cam and Video recorder does the job and the video isn't that large.
Calling quality is very good but I want the speakerphone is louder, same as video/audio playback.
Can use the light as flashlight with tiny flashlight app.
It should be the snappiest phone I have so far (2500+ quadrant).
Instant screen cap (touch home and press power button).
Three issues:
It can't read ogg vorbis tag, so ALL files are treated as "unknown" with winamp or default music player.
Wifi setting gets FC after it's connected.
Streamfurious doesn't work (gets broken pipe then stopped) and it's reported some streaming audio applications don't work (tunein radio works fine).

this phone sux lol. f*** love. jk

Anybody waiting for this over the Note 4?

Hey all
I for one will be waiting for this over the Note 4 (when it finally arrives in the UK) The curved screen technology really appeals, the slightly reduced battery capacity really does not bother me that much, for me its a small price for such an intriguing new feature. As the rest of the specs are pretty much identical to the Note 4, its down to who feels this new design is worthy of the wait.
Who's in? and how do other members feel about the extra screen real estate?:good:

I think I'm in your camp too. The only thing is, I have read some obscure articles claiming that this might not actually come to market for some time due to production issues and the curved glass. My contract renews in November, so hopefully we'll hear some more news before then.

My contact is up in October, but will move over to a SIM only contract until available. I can live with my faithful note 3 a little longer:highfive:
Lets hope the rumors are untrue, first time in a while I've been truly excited about an upgrade. :good:

Yep waiting on this one.... The note 4 is too close to my note 3 to be interested in it.

Waiting ... :highfive:

:good:

I'm on Verizon, living in the Greater Manchester Metroplex (actually, a little rural town but it sounds good). The odds of our corporate store having the Edge - even ONE - are dismal. So I'm going to have to order it online at 12:00:01 AM the day of release... or pre-order, whichever comes first.
I'm really hoping I can get the Edge, although one part of me is hesitant: the MODDER part of me.
How much development will there be for the Edge? Will there be sufficient quantities of stock to satisfy the demand on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon? Or will each U.S. carrier have maybe 50 of these things? Will developers even bother with it? Or will there be enough of a supply that developers will embrace it, root it, bootstrap it and create custom ROMs?
That is my question...

I'm waiting on this as well. At first, when I saw the details on the Note 4 when Samsung had their introduction, I was relieved because I knew I would save money since there was really nothing(in my opinion) worth upgrading from a Note 3 for.
But once I saw the info on the Note Edge, I was excited because I knew that I wanted to get it(and slightly disappointed because I thought I would be saving money on a phone upgrade this year.).
From what I've seen on the net, the Note 4 should launch in the United States sometime in October. Hopefully this means the Note Edge will launch in November.
The thing I really like about the Edge is that it will be very useful in multitasking since the access to app shortcuts will be on the Edge display. This will really increase productivity in my opnion. Even with the smaller sized battery, it should be fine since we can use the Edge display to check on notifications, etc. without waking the main screen.

I am still on my good 'ol Note 2. I wanted to original upgrade to the Note 4 until I saw the Note edge. Just wish they would give out some info

I have a GFlex now and impatiently waiting for the Edge!!!!

If the Note Edge is <$1000, I will definitely get it regardless of custom Roms, support, or reduced battery issue, simply because I want to do my part as to motivate Samsung in trying something new to smartphone world. Samsung took pioneer steps that no one else has taken for the good of the whole, instead of most company out there who only goes after their profit.
Only 1 question I still have regarding the Edge, and this is after watching all videos, articles of it. If we can turn on the curve screen for notification and such without turn on the main screen, then how do we plan to do so? I mean, should I press the power button? or a home button? Or whatever button? Wouldn't pressing those physical buttons turn on the main screen as well? Please someone tell me...

Hmmmm, wouldn't it burning battery, like Swipe-to-Wake? Since it's always detecting gesture, kinda defeat the "saving juice by not turning on main screen" idea.

The g3 has a similar kernel that stays awake at all times, and it doesn't really impact battery life

Yea I think that the edge would be a swipe like the note 3.
if i reach for my phone the screen lights up and tells me the time and miss calls, email etc...
so I can seen samsung making a setting for picking which screen to be active for swipe.
also I believe the power button would be map for the full screen on. And they will probably have swipe over just for the side screen. It means sense to me but let's see of they do it.

I'm thinking of getting the Note 4 when it drops since the Edge doesn't look like it'll be for sale until early next year. I'm on T-Mobile so technically I could "JUMP" after 6 months (April). Whatever phone I get, strong development support is a huge factor.

I was at the UK Samsung Experience. store at Stratford and was told the Edge is not coming to the UK as an official device release.

i'm waiting for Edge. I think if Australia release is 5th Nov, US would be before that. All carriers still have this as "coming soon". I wish Samsung was as aggressive as Apple in marketing and releases.

Just heard this will be a very limited release. Not for the UK or US.

First impressions on Galaxy S6 Edge - Sound Off

I got mine yesterday 4/8/15 - Im on Sprint and when I turned it on and did self activation I got a black screen... Eventually had to factory reset and go to sprint and get them to re activate it. Also Ive noticed it has been prettty laggy stuttering here and there. Google Keyboard doesn't fix it. Its not thaaat laggy but its enough to notice. My Sprint GS6 edge Black 64gb DID INFACT come with the hair line scratches people are reporting. battery life has been decently good.
Battery:
Full Day 1 GS6 Edge: April 9th 2015
Screen On time: 3hrs 50 min
7AM-1:04PM
Usage - Everything, auto brightness... All edge features on. half mobile data half wifi, NO BATTERY SAVER

Ive been getting about 8 or 9 hours on heavy usage mostly wifi though. black 32gb no scratches or other issues. No lag. Feels and looks great. Sound isnt as bad as people say. But i came from an s4. I do notice it seems warm when charging with the screen off lol. But maybe thats just the fast charger at work. The usb is snug though going in and kind of worries ya as yo how itll hold up. Data was way snappier and received lte in areas i previously couldn't.

Got mine on the 8th as well. No issues with lag, but my phone does have the small cosmetic scratches in the screen. Any idea if Sprint would do an exchange because of it? Battery has been just ok so far. Wasn't able to make it through the day on light usage without having to throw it on the charger before the end of night. Barely had 2 hours of screen time. Fingerprint scanner works like 75% of the time. Anyone have any tips on how to get the scanner to work more accurately? The phone is absolutely beautiful though.

Sprint shud allow replacements

I went in the Sprint store and they were shocked that I had the phone. First they told me they couldn't do anything because I wasn't supposed to have it... Then after they realized Pre Orders shipped early they just told me to call customer service to request a replacement.

Thats messed up because Sprint customer service told me to go into a store. After all I've been through with them lately i have come to the conclusion that they have absolutely no idea what's going on most of the time.

I use my right thumb and use the center of it with the top of the thumb to the left and bottom on the right. Like \ kind of ha. 99% of the time works. Only thing bugs me after using it is coming from the s4 lack of the menu button :/

Picked it up on launch day
Got the device (white, 64gig) around noon today (eastern), haven't been able to put it down. Screen is amazing, apps download and install from the Google Store in record time (coming from an N5) via wifi or Sprint Spark, speaking of Spark...I am getting coverage in more areas than I was before. Camera is by far the best experience I have had with Android and I am an original G1 owner, wow...we have come so far. Point and shoot is by far a much more fluid and pleasant experience. almost 9 gigs are taken up by system memory. Battery life and speed of charging has been a good experience thus far. Did i mention the screen? :good:

Got my white 32 gb edge yesterday from Best Buy. It looks great and no scratches seen
I did the update and everything seems to be working fine. The battery is great so far but I did notice some lag when something is downloading in the background a bit but nothing too bad. The brightness is being a bit annoying. The softkeys are too bright at night unless battery saver is turned on. The manual brightness is too bright and auto is too dim. Coming from the adaptive brightness from stock lolipop, its a bit disappointing. I love this phone however. The curved screen is fantastic, especially with gallery pictures. Also its ridiculously sharp. Battery is great so far and fast charging is great.

Called customer service...
I called in and they told me to take it to a repair center... They seem very uneducated on the issue. All they have to do is search it up, its very common now and annoying.

Screen Brightness Issue
Also, I compared my screen with two other peoples screens on max brightness and mine is a little less bright then theirs and is more on the warmer side... Disappointing...

Mine takes up 6.7 something on system memeory. Anyone else? Just curious. On a 32gb black

I love my S6 Edge. Wish I could have gotten it in green though and with the news of demand outpacing supply and curved glass production problems I don't ever believe I will ever be able to get it into emergald green. There is already a shortage of the Edge devices which I why I am glad I pre-ordered.
The only other thing is Sprints network. My nexus 6 is on Cricket and I wish I would have ordered it on AT&T and kept my Note 4 on Sprint, or moved my Nexus 6 to Sprint. Hopefully they will roll Spark out here soon and that will address the capacity issues that seem to plague Louisiana.
It's an amazing phone. I love it.

The S6E is my first metal & glass phone and I'm loving it so far. The phone looks great in Gold Platinum and it's really classy & sleek looking.
The performance is great, operation smooth, great feel in hand & easy to use one-handed, and the camera is fabulous.
I'm not bothered by a lack of microSD & removable battery as I thought I would be (probably the Nexus 5 got me used to that).
This is definitely the best phone in the world for me right now.

Hi, So i got my device exhanged by Sprint..... And It stilll has scratches...but atleast its fast and smooth.

Eh....
It is up to you. Given how many Edges are floating around with scratched screens it really is a gamble. I have not really heard of any issues with the S6 but there are reports on all carriers of scratched S6E devices. And like any other carrier, Sprint isn't going to keep opening boxes for you, even if they do have them in stock. You could get one where the screen has the scratches on the screen, or in/under the screen. I guess you have to decide if you really could live with that if you do get a defective unit. Some people say they can live with it. Others cannot.

i could probably live with that. my main concern is even with a case and i drop the edge, the curved part of the glass is exposed to potentially get more damage. does it feel like ur gonna drop it at all when u use it?

Not a very good first impression for me since screen rotation was broken out of the box and Samsung support has no clue about whether it's going to be a software fix or not.

I'm very happy with my edge. I would never chage it with a normal one. It is much more beautiful. This is my opinion. And my screen is not scratch and i have very good batery life: 24h batery with 5h SOT or 48h with 2h 30 min SOT.

"Any day now..."

Was in an AT&T store today and met a rep from LG there. I asked him about the V10, and he said that the Marshmallow update should be coming any day now. I want to exchange my 6S+ for an LG V10, but oh man that Note 5 in gold was stunning (as well as the screen)! But would take the LG because of SD card and removable battery.

LG will release it then At&t will have to get their grubby little hands on it... I'm not expecting it until Jan/Feb at the earliest. I'd love to be wrong though....

Maybe root will be possible with Marshmallow.

Someday more likely, and if AT&T gets their hands on it..... It will probably be a cut, botched, and locked down version.

The Note 5 also has complete fail memory management (I own one). You're much better off with just about any other phone, unless you like having every single app reload every time you multitask back to it. LG has always done really well with the memory management.

Hoping it will come soon. Funny thing - if I still had my G3 I would have marshmallow already...

Samsung's screens sucks. Every Samsung phones I've seen at any stores have burnt in from that stupid demo loop.

That only happens to display models. No one is going to keep their screen on 24/7 with the same static images coming on repetitively. Samsung screens are great once you change the default screen setting to a more natural setting.

I see S5s with screen burn all the time...

Funny how all iphones, LG and MS Lumia phones have similar demo modes with screen on the same duration as Samsungs and none of them have screen burn ins like Samsung.

Then you should look at some LG G Flex's. There's plenty of them with screen burn in. Happens to all oled/amoled screens even those not on Samsung products. I never had screen burn in and I had every galaxy phone since the first S1.. It's a trade off almost, you're trading ok lcd quality for superior image/refresh rate at the risk of some burn in which usually takes about two years of normal use to develop and by then you've moved on to another device so chances of it happening are rare. Unless you're buying the display model, I really don't see how this is even a debate.

Gonna need a spare battery cuz the battery life sucks on this phone. The back buttons are a pain as well. Everything else about the phone is amazing.

Yeah, I can't make it close to a full day without recharging. And, I missed the free battery and charger by a month. I think they knew the battery life sucked and that's why they offered a free spare to "early adopters" SMH

I can go for about 15hr that's when I get back to my hotel from work and still have 40%. That's using my phone for videos on a bus for a hour each way to the plant. Videos at lunch and Facebook,Pandora, Bluetooth ( watch and headphones). Battery life is great for me

A big battery eater can be disabled. Under About Phone, you can uncheck Activity Logs. Got noticeable battery improvements after disabling this. Hope this helps :good:

And stillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll waiting.
What in the world is going on, and why do the G3 & G4 get it before the V10?

Looks like it's getting pushed out on the international V10s.

So AT&T won't push it for another month at best.

I'm so annoyed with the lack of support on this phone going to the S7 edge. I had more high hopes for the second screen and the fingerprint scanner. I still have issues with it unlocking frequently. And this whole not getting an update when it was supposed to get it back in December... Meh

S8 plus is a total piece of ****

This thing sucks doesn't do half as good as my note 5. And every update is glitchy what a piece of ****. After 3 months of this tiny ****box I'm going back to my note 5

Lol someones mad...after 3 months of use I'm still Loving it

Cool story

I couldn't agree more. In comparison to my Note 5 this thing is not as good....
Screen is wayyyyy too narrow on my S8+. Glitches and slow downs after the first few days. Also many tiny annoying bugs. You'd think that after the phone being out for a while they'd fix all of the issues.

I have to wonder myself how you guys use your mobiles. Not ONE of my mobiles since the iPhone 3GS
hade any "slowdowns"! How? Very simpel. I only install apps without adds. I only install apps I really use. I dont root. I always install latest updates and watch what sites I visit with the browser. And last but not least I setup each mobile as new. I never use smartswitch or backups. When u root please be sure you know exactly what you do, else SLOWDOWNS!

Curved screen is a huge fail. I was afraid it would be fragile, and sure enough, broke on the curved edge. Since samsung stopped making flat screens my next phone will not be a super fragile samsung again.

You guys bashing sound kind of ridiculous. Saying a two-generations old phone isn't as good as the current one just seems odd. I had the Note5, Note7, S7e, and now a S8+. The S8+ is spectacular and I've had no issues with it whatsoever except for Bixby which was supposed to be a key feature being MIA. If you're having individual issues that's fine but to ridicule the phone because of whatever you're going through just makes you seem out of sync.

It is funny how any phone you buy, there is a forum full of complaints; and within those complaints there are several who broke their phone, and blame the device as being "fragile".
Buy a case. If you are super prone to accidents, get insurance for the device. Stop blaming the manufacturer for you mistake. I have never, ever broke a phone, and I am not exactly easy on them. I get a decent case, and sometimes (like the s8+), I get accident coverage.
This is no different than my buddy, who bought a brand new car years ago, and never cleaned the inside or out, nor did he wax the vehicle the paint or condition the interior leather. Now he blames Ford for the condition of his vehicle...yet my vehicle is older and looks almost new.
I love this phone.
