Hey guys I am a brand new T-Mobile customer as of yesterday (coming from US Cellular) and I got the G2x phone. Previously I had the Mesmerize (Galaxy S).
I've got just a couple questions that are probably simple enough. First of all, as soon as I got the phone last night, I downloaded the LG Update Tool from the LG website and updated the phone to Gingerbread. Now today it appears the update is OTA. Is the update I got last night the same as the OTA update, so I don't need to update again?
For whatever reason, when I go into the settings to check for updates, it keeps saying there was an authentication error rather than just saying there are no updates. Is that normal? My build number is GRI40 and Android version is 2.3.3.
Second, on my old phone, in the pull down menu, at the top there were buttons to toggle WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and silent mode. On this phone, there is nothing there, just big letters that say T-Mobile. Is there a way to get the toggle switches? I found them pretty useful.
And lastly, in the pull down menu, it constantly says I have a new voice mail and to dial some weird number, with no way to clear it. I've already set up my voice mail box and I don't have any messages. What is this notification that won't go away? Thanks for any help!
PS:
Any easy way to root this phone?
New to T-Mobile, just got the G2X.....read the threads.
The update is the same. In your phone settings under about it should say Android Version 2.3.3 and v21e. The pull down menu toggles are available with Cyanogenmod and some other custom ROM's. As far as your notification that won't go away, not really sure whats up with that. On a personal note, I would take that phone right back to the store and exchange it for a Sensation. I've been an Android user since the G1 and I can say without doubt this is the worst phone I've ever owned. It is plagued with bugs.

You could download my favorite app- Anycut and it will allow you to make a toggle And lastly, in the pull down menu, it constantly says I have a new voice mail and to dial some weird number, with no way to clear it. I've already set up my voice mail box and I don't have any messages. What is this notification that won't go away? Thanks for any help! The strange number is the number to your voicemail. I added it to my contacts for a quick dial to my messages and thatr message disappeared.PS:

There is a way, I'm nor familiar with it I guess you flash the rooted update to the phone?
Hope this helps

Welcome to the G2x!! In the next few hours you will either be flamed for buying a crappy phone, or welcomed for buying a Great phone. I personally think its a great phone.
Your questions:
1. The LG update and the TMO OTA are almost the same. Same basebands and builds. Looks like the OTA does change some icon colors. Stay tuned here for how to get both.
2. There is NO in the top bar tool for that. But there is a widget called power control that does the same thing. Check it out.
3. I really don't know about the voice mail and will leave that to someone else.
As far as rooting, there are several good how to root and how to 1 step root threads located on this forum. Its quick and easy. Make sure you look at the Recovery threads too for the easy 1 step recovery options. You'll find these located in the General sub forum
And remember, use the search feature for any questions....many have already been answered. Check out the search feature in the general sub forum and type, How to root your g2x, or how to mod your g2x. You will get some good hits.
Welcome.
Search sucks, isn't always that easy.
But I can definately recommend you read the stickies here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049154
They are very very helpful.
Thanks guys... I fixed the voice mail notification by sending myself a voicemail from another phone and then deleting it from mine.
So does anybody else get a authentication error when they use the phone to check for a software update after having used the LG Updater to install Gingerbread? In my phone the build is listed as GRI40, but on the LG Update Tool it reads the phone's build as V21E.
EDIT:
And I was seriously considering the Sensation. But in the end, the only advantage seemed to be the extra 128MB of RAM, which doesn't seem to help in benchmarks or usage. At first I thought qHD was going to be an advantage, but the screen just didn't pop and seemed washed out... unlike the G2X which looked much nicer, and I believe is IPS. Also from all the reviews I've seen the Tegra 2 seems faster than the dual core Snapdragon and Adreno 220 in the Sensation. Plus the Sensation having 1GB of internal storage is kind of lame, where as the G2X has 8GB!
With regard to the feature toggle widgets, I use a tool from the market called Elixir. It lets you set up your own widgets, among other cool things. For example, I have a widget on my home screen that has seven (not four) widgets across: silent/vibrate/normal ringer; wifi; GPS; Bluetooth; wifi hotspot; battery status; and day/date.
I got g2x and sensation. Only thing good on sensation is camera, and sense sucks. Screen like you say is washed out

Okay, So I checked my MMS settings and changed them. They're correct based on everything I've seen.
After that. I've discovered my phone number says its 000-000-8642
im running CM 10.0
I need to change this.
I cannot send picture mail currently. This pisses me off
But what could be going on?

CM10's not used a lot here anymore, as most are in cm10.1, but here are a few things:
I'm on cm10.1, and am working off it, but may be able to help:
first, need to check your IMEI: where you found that your phone number is 000s check your IMEI. should be about 14-15 numbers. If you still have it, then check your network settings
go into menu, system settings (or something like it) look for mobile networks. on cm10.1 it is in "more..." roll down to network mode and make sure you are on LTE/ CDMA / EvDo
then go to CDMA subscription (again or something like it) and make sure you are on CDMA/RUIM and not NV
if all of these are set, and you still can't get your number to show up, would sugest either trying to clean flash another ROM, or you can ODIN back to stock, and start over.
sorry, nothing i have is CM10 so am working in the dark here

Hi. The Call Log, if the contact is on my contact list, displays the Contact Name and below the Country/City instead of the Phone Number that was used to call me or the one i called. If the contact is not in my Contact List, it displays the Contact Number and below the Country/City.
Is there any way to change the setting in the first situation to display the Contact Name and below the Phone Number used? I prefer a solution without the use of a third party app. Phone is on android 7 / Emui 5.0.1
Thank you.
Try by going on contacts -> click on the 3 dots for settings and check if you notice some strange there. Plus, provide more info about your phone. You updated it OTA or by Firmware Finder? What's your phone build?

Checked the options in dots, nothing relative to change this setting. I upgraded through Settings->System Update and after that did a Restore Factory Settings. Anyway the Call Log worked the same as now before the update to Android 7 / Emui 5.0.1 (phone shipped with Android 6). The build now is BLN-L21C432B365.

I'm on the build just before the B365 (B360) and i never see this on Nougat nor on Marshmallow. Maybe it's related to a configuration of your SIM card?
For me, it shows the name and number (if contact is in my list). I am on China variant of Honor 6X and I dont get the location inforamtion.

That shouldn't be related with Sim config. Something to do with Phone display, incall UI to be precise.

I thought it could be, but if this was right it could have an impact only on contacts stored on SIM card, not phone. I'll try to look for a solution tomorrow

One idea; try to go on settings -> advanced settings -> language and input, then check if the actual language (and region) matches your country language. I thought this because once i changed that from italian to english, and noticed that it changes not only the language but even some voices on phone's menus. I'm almost sure that this will fix the issue. If neither that'll works, I'll look for something else
---------- Post added at 12:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------
Anyway i checked other forums and actually IT COULD be telco's fault, take in consideration the idea to ask them if they know something about this issue.
I have the same issue and can't find a work around to change it back

Just received an answer from Huawei. They said it works as intended and sadly there is no option to change it. At least i hope they will add an option to choose to display phone number or location, in their next Emui upgrade which i hope will come until the end of the year alongside Android 8.0

Hope so we will get it early next year and this is addressed.
Good luck
I hope Huawei watches the posts here
Btw are there any official Huawei forums where you can give feedback?

Yes on hi honor club.
As was shown here: https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-preferred-wifi-calling-option-verizon-pixel-pixel-xl/ you could enable WiFi calling as your preferred calling method with this nice little ADB command. I can confirm with Oreo it worked, and stuck through reboots and all. I have however now sideloaded my Verizon Pixel with the Developer Preview of Android P. It was a smooth upgrade, however I can no longer get WiFi calling to be preferred with the ADB command. It was originally still listed there, and was still containing the "2" value, but the setting no longer worked. I did a factory reset to start fresh, and I notice that the setting is no longer present when doing the “settings list global” command. I tried adding the line and it still does not work. Anyone have a workaround or any ideas on what I can try to get the WiFi calling to be preferred again? I really rely upon it at work, as we have almost no cell signal, and I have come to love the previous ability I had to have it be the Preferred method for all my calls. Since I have one of the jacked Verizon Pixels, I was never able to unlock the Bootloader, so there is no going back for me! I do also want to say on that note though, for the last week, since I did the factory reset and re-did everything, my phone has been rock solid on the "P" Developer Preview!

I know there was a flashable magisk module that enabled the options, but it doesn't help with the actual ims status(*#*#4636#*#*, phone settings, ims status). It might be that you need the official Verizon rom that includes the necessary lib files, or that the dev preview doesn't include those and therefore you can't yet enable it?

I though about the Verizon thing as well, but I also used the Developer Preview for Oreo, and it worked with it just fine, so I am thinkning they have just moved it somewhere else in the "P", or something of that nature, but I am hoping that someone here can possibly figure it out!

I'm having the same problem after a recent update. WiFi calling no longer works, and the option has disappeared from settings.
Dialing *#*#4636#*#* no longer brings up the menu, either.
I tried via adb shell to set wfc_ims_mode=2, but that doesn't work. `settings list global` shows that it is set to 2, but even after reboot wifi calling still doesn't work.

Probably just something that handy yet been implemented, being it is a Dev preview . Same thing with the lockscreen shortcut icons for camera and phone.
Just an update. I stuck a T-Mobile SIM card in my phone and after using the magisk module I mentioned, the options appeared for the advanced and wifi calling. I'll do it again tomorrow and pay a screen . It's almost midnight here so gonna crash
I'm running stock p on verizon. Hoping someone comes up with a solution.
Add this : system/buildprop under additional properties -Make sure to enable read write on "system" first

Experiencing this issue after upgrading my Pixel XL and my wife's Pixel 2 to the Verizon Pie.
Details for my Pixel XL:
Android Version 9
Android Security Patch Level: August 5th, 2018
Kernel Version: 3.18.10-ga765425
Build Number: PPR1.180610.009
I used to use the ADB hack flawlessly, now I can't seem to make WiFi Calling Preferred over mobile network. So even though I have one bar that goes in and out, it uses the network then drops.

I haven't even updated to P yet and mine stopped working on the last security patch. I can set it back using adb. Reboot and wifi calling comes on. The first phone call works for about 5 minutes, then drops. The settings database values go back to default. The only way to get it to work again is to go through the whole process again.
Too much trouble. Sure would be nice to just turn it on and have it work.

If you've already had WiFi calling working previously with pixel (I can only confirm first gen works with this)
Add this : system/buildprop under additional properties -Make sure to enable read write on "system" first and then add the following (see doc).
Doc here
Just copy paste all lines according to instructions from previous post. Check and make sure under phone menu that you are instructions registered

I didn't not know. Can't use it in France anyways so I'm not worried about it.
Doesn't work in DP5
Hoping that someone else here can verify it in the regular version of pie.
I didn't switch to the RTM because WiFi calling is too important and I did want to test it though.

This phone is sold was the LG Zone 4 at local shops. It's a prepaid of course.
Here is box cover:
Copy paste to browser, pic I took.
warped.bluecherry.net/~shang/LM-X210VPP.jpg
Checking the stats and enabling the developer menu I found it odd that while it does have USB Debugging mode checkbox, there is absolutely no option for OEM enabled, nothing in the entire developer's menu has the term OEM.
Checking the hardware information the stats are as follows:
Model Number: LM-X210VPP
Hardware Version: Rev. 1.0
Android Version: 7.1.2
Android security patch level: May 1, 2018
Kernel Version: 3.18.31-perf-ga50810t [email protected]
Build Number: N2G47H
Software Version: X210VPP10c
PRL Version: 15371
The developer menu I enabled, I've done nothing else beside ads a blank SD Card for storage, it has usb debugging available but no mention again of OEM anything.
I'd really like to root this device as it's actually a fairly nice device. I have absolutely no plans to use it as a phone, just a wifi device, with of course Google hangouts and Google dialer installed since I have a 2 block wifi mesh network that I "could" use for phone calls. But that is beside the point.
Is this device capable of being rooted, perhaps if so if someone could say how easy or meticulously tough it may be. And I would most humbly appreciate any info and/or links to help me.
To be honest I'm not interested in installing a custom firmware, or a backup solution. I am just wanting to root it so I could install supersu if at all possible.
I would appreciate any help anyone can offer, if impossible I understand and will wait in hopes something comes along.
All I can find are for overseas versions with the OEM toggle in the deve, opera menu which mine doesn't have. Although it does have the ability to toggle option to install non play store apk's and the ability to enable USB debugging and change USB from charging to mtp, to midi to Ethernet tether, to audio source and PTP.
Anyone familiar with these devices and could possibly help me out or am I screwed for now?
I appreciate your time and thanks for any information you can give.
I need to find root as well
