    Thread discoloration on screen due to pressure from cover

    So I bought an mEdge cover from Walmart and I also installed a clearcoat screen protector on the tablet just after receiving my tablet on Dec12.

    Thread Boycott Nvidia? Hell No!

    I've read on many a thread to not buy the next Nvidia quadcore equipped phones, just because Nvidia isn't very open with their source code. I say Hell No! If anyone, especially in the cellphone business knows about gaming, it's Nvidia. Video games are the state of the art in software. It the...

    Thread Removing dust under screen

    I love my g2x, it's just that there is one irritating flaw, one very tiny piece of white dust under the screen. The only way you can actually tell is if I'm under sunlight and I look for it. I've searched the internet and found videos on how to disassemble phones and remove the dust, but only...

    Thread Update a booby trap?

    Thread faced my fears and updated :)

    I was pretty hesitant updating to Gingerbread on the LG site, because of the horror stories I've read on some threads, then I thought to myself, "hey, these are the same kinda negative fear mongering posts that made people not buy or even ditch the G2x because of the exaggerated claims of screen...

    Thread Who did not update to GB?

    I kinda feel left out. It seems everyone has updated or at least tried to update to the Gingerbread release on LGs site. But after reading how many people had complications or even bricked their phone, I decided not to try and update, hoping that an official "over the air" update will come...

    Thread Movement to destroy G2x

    I've noticed a well organized movement especially on this forums, which by the way seems biased toward HTC, to destroy the reputation of the Tmobile LG G2x. Any wonder why G2x didn't get an update yet? I don't think so. All this slander has unfortunately slowed down support for G2x and the...

    Thread Juice defender=placebo effect?

    So ever since I first bought the G2x, I've always had juice defender a part of it. Now having done a factory reset, since May (when I got the phone) and not installing juice defender, it seems that I get the same if not better battery life without juice defender installed. Could juice defender...

    Thread sound from phone speaker but using headphones

    Sometimes when I unplug my headphones then let the phone sit for a couple minutes/hours then plug the headphones back in, the phone does not play the sound through the headphones but still through the phone's speaker. The only way I get to fix this is to reboot. Anyone else?

    Thread No more unlimited data :(

    After having heard the news about Verizon getting rid of their unlimited data plan, I felt a chill run down my spine, thinking what if Tmobile did this. Then I googled "Verizon no data plan" and found out that AT&T was the first to get rid of their unlimited plans. I pray to God, that the AT&T...

    Thread Wifi can't connect to home router fix

    For those of you who can't connect to your home router with the G2x, and have already tried Wifi analyzer from the market, I've found that rebooting (volume up + power button) the phone will fix this problem. Once the phone reboots and you have wifi already enabled it will detect and connect to...

    If you look for flaws in anything, you're guaranteed to find it and then you'll always focus on it, no matter how minor. We have witnessed this in the initial days of the G2x and when someone pointed out the "screen bleed" it was blown out of proportion and many many people kept on abusing...

    Thread Airplane mode vs Juice Defender

    So I still get about 2%-5% battery drain an hour with Juice Defender when I'm not even touching my phone. My understanding is that it shuts of your data and radio when the screen shuts off, and then reenables it when you "wake up" and turn on your phone screen again. This is unacceptable. This...

    Returning your G2x for a replacement, because of the so called "bleeding screen display", "reboot","wifi" and/or "battery" problem is ridiculous. Let me tell you why. First of all, the "screen bleeding" is common to the G2x, and seems to be a feature tied to it's screen brightness settings...
