The T-Mobile G2X (LG P999) and its international version, the LG Optimus 2X (LG P990), are receiving CyanogenMod 9 builds so if you own one of the aforementioned devices and you were waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich, here it comes. However, as Ricardo Cerqueira points it out, these builds are not supported "and updates may or may not happen in the future". Before you rush to the source link to download and apply the custom ROMs you should know that there are a couple of things that are not working. There is no acceleration for media neither for video decoding nor encoding and applications ...

Frustrations with LG's G2x on T-Mobile had been nearing a head last week, with news of a lawsuit accusing LG of failing to live up to its warranty obligations by continuing to fail to repair glitchy smartphones. The handset's saving grace had long been seen as a coming update that would address these problems once and for all, breaking the cycle of device resets. Late in the week that update finally arrived, but only reached users who side-stepped T-Mobile and turned directly to LG's PC-based update software. Then we heard about new G2xs coming with all the updates already installed when ...

The T-Mobile G2x is a great phone, but its had its fair share of problems. T-Mobile was fairly quick to acknowledge the existence of the issues, but slow to announce any plan to fix them. So slow, in fact, that a lawsuit was filed to force them to act. Apparently that move worked. Not long after the lawsuit was filed, LG quietly released a Gingerbread 2.3.3-based update which should address the majority of the concerns with the stock ROM. There are some caveats: - The update itself is almost 180MB - If you've rooted your phone you'll lose it if you install this ROM - It's not (yet) an OTA ...

After LG released its Optimus 2X in the States as the G2x on T-Mobile, we started hearing tales of various problems with the phone. Some users seemed to skate by just fine, but others reported their smartphones being plagued by resets, among other bugs. While T-Mobile initially distanced itself from such reports, it later confirmed that it had received complaints from "a small percentage of customers", and that they should be addressed in a future update. We're still waiting for both that and a Gingerbread update to arrive (assuming they aren't combined into one), but at least one G2x ...

There's been a cornucopia of promises related to the Gingerbread update for the LG-made T-Mobile G2x, according to which it will arrive this summer. Users are patiently waiting for the release that will also fix some serious bugs with the smartphone in addition to updating its platform version to the latest Google Android Gingerbread. Unfortunately, instead of the update, users are only getting promises of an update with information coming further down the pipe. The LG Girl has tweeted (and then LG themselves retweeted) that the Gingerbread update "is a huge focus" but there's no more info ...

The T-Mobile G2x, really your Magenta version of the LG Optimus 2x, is a great smartphone with good performance thanks mainly to its dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor and graphics chip which returns out-of-the-box benchmark results of around 2,500 in Quadrant. If that's not enough for you, there's a custom kernel floating around with which the T-Mobile G2x has been overclocked to 1.5GHz -- really a 50% increase in clock speed. This returns scores of 3,264 in Quadrant and if you want this to be your smartphone, check out the source link for more details. One word of note though (besides the ...

The T-Mobile G2x -- getting its Android Gingerbread update this summer -- sales were halted because of what initially appeared to be some software problems and bugs but Magenta was quick to react and stated that there were no problems with the smartphone except for the fact that it is extremely popular. According to the internal carrier screenshot above, T-Mobile is likely to increase the price on the G2x starting today. The reason states is "because inventory constraints" -- which might be related to the smartphone's popularity -- but might as well be Magenta having no other option but ...

After the G2x disappeared from T-Mobile's site yesterday, rumors shot up that numerous reports of buggy software and spontaneous resets had driven the carrier to halt sales while a solution to the problem was found. As it turns out, there was nothing so dramatic going on behind the scenes, and T-Mobile later revealed that its actions were due to supply problems, not anything like a recall. We've since seen some additional statements by the carrier, and while it seems to be in denial about the scope of the issues the G2x is facing, it has admitted that a software patch is in the works. The ...
