I was trying to bump things from my vibrant to my G2 and its a no go the vibrant is bumping with my wifes mytouch slide so it must be the G2 anybody use it with success let me know please

I used it between myself and an iPhone 3GS owner. It wasn't working until we held our fists together longer.
Bump is a sketchy app...
It sometimes worked on my nexus and sometimes it didn't!
Works perfectly for me just used it Sunday to transfer apps from one G2 to another G2 no problem what so ever
This tried again today maybe my vibrant is the problem oh well cut and paste it is

I was just trying to 'bump' my new G2 w/ a fellow co-worker, he has a Droid X. Every time we 'bumped' his phone would pick up the action, but mine wouldn't.. so I turned up the app sensitivity all the way, which helped to improve the bump, but not enough because I still had to hit my phone decently hard on my own hand to even get the app to recognize the action, and still, the handshake wouldn't work.. we were not able to successfully communicate/transfer with each other via the bump. Could it be because the G2 has a newer Android OS release? Or maybe the bump app just needs to be updated?.... not sure.
So I am having issues with my G2, the quality in calls is horrible, and been getting worse. (Voices on other end cutting in and out, but the other party can hear me just fine)
SO I called T Mobile, and they are sending me one free of charge(Bare-bones, just the phone, I keep my battery, sim, sdcard, etc)
MY QUESTION IS: Before I send my current G2 back to t mobile, should I put it back to main factory settings??? (I have visionary, gscript, setcpu, etc.) I don't want them to see that, and them be like you voided it, so now you have to pay for two phones.
So do I set it back to factory, and if so, how do I do that, so they don't know I rooted it? I'm sorry I tried searching the forums, and did not find anything.
Thank-you in advance for your help.

You may as well, just to be on the safe side. Plus, that way it'll erase all of your personal information from the phone before they receive it back.
Menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset
The issue you described sounds like a network issue, don't be surprised if it continues on the new G2.

Well the thing is, all of my tombile phones(G1, Cliq) ive had before this, the reception was fine. Also while Im on my G2, I have full bars, and the other end can hear me fine, they are just coming in bad.
Doesn't that sound like a speaker issue????
I also think it is a network issue. I'm having similar problems, more with data right now as I'm not making or getting very many calls on this new number. I'm on my 2nd G2 BTW
Same problems here. Waiting on IT'S update....

I'm right there with you. I might try another replacement but I think I'm going to get the same thing. Going back to T-Mobile tomorrow and see how I feel.
T-Mobile support confirmed that there have been alot of complaints regarding sluggish phones after updating to OS 2.2.1. They said that they are offering to exchange myTouch 3G phones with the LG Optimus-T phone due to the problems caused by the update. I checked the specs on each phone and they are quite similar; the LG's processor is a bit faster. Has anyone tried the LG Optimus-T? I'm gonna go to the T-Mobile store to test it out, but I figured I'd check out all your opinions before I make a decision.
Thanks,

optimus is way faster. it feels better in the hand too. and it can run lwp smoothly without lags
Think I'm going to have to look into this.

I tried out the Optimus-T at the T-Mobile store; the extra 80Mhz of processor really makes a drastic difference! I'm definitely gonna swap the myTouch for an Optimus-T. The one thing that I wasn't able to test out at the store was the built-in microphone. I'm a musician and I use the mic alot to record guitar riffs if I think I'm going to forget them. I tried out a couple different smart phones before I went with the myTouch and the mics on some of the other phones were terrible. Anyone have any comments on the quality of the Optimus-T's mic? When it comes down to it, I really don't have any option but to swap phones; 2.2 drools on the myTouch.

How is it fixable? I've tried multiple hard resets. Running it with no applications or widgets running, no GPS, no anything and it still is sloooooow. What do you suggest because I'd rather keep the myTouch. Please advise.

Easy day. Download this file and rename it sappimg.zip (not sappimg.zip.zip)(To make sure go to Start->Control Panel->Folder Options->View Tab-> Uncheck "Hide known file extensions"). Then download this file and rename it to update.zip. Next, put them both on the root of your SD card. Boot into hboot (volume down+power) and the phone will pickup the SAPPIMG on it's own and do a file check. When prompted, hit the trackball to continue, it'll run the updates, then hit the trackball again to reboot. When you get to the activation screen, turn the phone off. Power on holding (home+power) which will get you to a screen showing a triangle with an exclamation point and a phone. Hit (home+power) again to bring up the recovery menu. Select the "wipe data/factory reset" option, then select "apply update.zip from SD card". Let it do it's thing and sit until your back at the activation screen. I'm sure you can figure it out from there.

What does this do to the phone? Will it void the warranty?
No, everything is stock. Your basically downgrading back to Android 1.6 and then reapplying the update, but doing it properly. The update should have included a script that would clean up the phones cache, but it apparently doesn't which is the root of the sluggish phone. I had the same issue until doing what I told you to do. Of course, I've been rooting/ROMing/theming my phone for 6 months, so I kind of figured that was the problem. Also to note, doing a factory reset after applying the update just doesn't seem to be cutting it. With my method, you'll come to the update as clean as possible.

[Q] Mytouch 1.2 trade in?
So I've been hearing that tmobile is offering a phone trade in for devices bricked by the ota update. It seems that the replacement for the mytouch 1.2 is the optimus t. The fender edition receives a vibrant.Is this the same as the optimus GT540? And is it worth manually bricking my phone to get it? And since the fender is switched for a much better phone, would it be possible to get that instead of the optimus? Please let me know.
Edit: Yes I did read the other thread about this, but that one moved off topic.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA App
The Optimus T is also the Optimus One P500. You won't be able to get the Vibrant, even if you offer to pay the difference, I tried. Maybe if your persistant enough and get a nice CS Rep you may be able to weasle one out. Either way, your getting a better phone.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using Tapatalk
So you're saying I could pretend it was a fender to get the vibrant? Because I know the ship you the phone first, before requiring you to send it back. And will they let me trade in for lagginess, or do I manually have to flash the wrong update?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G using XDA App
Vibrant is out unless you find a CS that's just really nice or you annoy them to the point they'll do anything to shut you up. Their going to base the swap out off of what device your account has on it. So if your account says you have a regular 1.2 then your getting the Optimus. Unless, like I said, pigs start flying and cows start pooping fossil fuel. From what I've read they're doing it for lag as well but only after you go through the facade of them having you do a factory reset from recovery and waiting a day or so.

Does this apply to the original my touch 3g? If so I would like something different than this phone. I am happy with it if not but if I can get a new phone because of the OTA update I am all for it.
I did not come across this issue being mentioned, but if it has been, please point me in the right direction.
I have noticed the following behavior after upgrading/flashing to stock EB13, using ODIN:
On more than a few occassions, the phone does not ring or vibrate when a call comes in. Not only this, but the missed call no. does not display in the log of missed/received calls. This is quite annoying. Has anyone come across this?

Lately this has been a DAILY occurance for me and im PISSED about it. I use my phone for BUSINESS and my "business" is pretty important so I cant afford to be missing calls like this.
However I think that it has something to SPRINTS service and not the device itself.
Just odin'd back to STOCK DK28 & rooted last night.....It hasnt happened since....at least not yet...LOL
Yeah I think its sprint service too. My phone has done it on di18,dk28 and now eb13

Ditto on this. I suspect it is either Sprint or it's the crappy RIL they're talking about in the CM7 progress thread. I think this mostly because I had the same problem on my Moment.

Same here,its happened twice today and once on my brothers Epic as we were sittin there waiting on our ride to get here and call; So he had a voicemail telling us he was outside,was there for 5m before we checkd the phone because I brught up the fact that my phone dosnt ring sometimes. That sucks.
Sent from my MyFrankenstein E=Bee13² ROM using XDAP App...
Is there someone who can confirm if this is an issue with Sprint's service, or the firmware? I am having a hard time believing it would be Sprint's service, as I haven't read about this issue much - this does not prove anything, but still.
I use my phone for business, too, and definitely cannot afford to lose calls, and on top of that, not even have the missed calls appear in the call log.
Actually I was just talking to my wife and to be honest I don't ever rememrher evo doing that. Also I had an evo as well and I don't remember this issue as well. Maybe it is the epic then. Anyone else??

I've had that on every phone I've had with sprint in the last 10 years, sprint tech called it tower lock said if you remain for an extended period of time within one towers rande then move to another sometimes the calls won't get routed right, oddly enough when I've had it happen its not all calls, don't know if this is true or just bs from sprint, first time they had me take the battery out and wait 10 mins and it was fixed, second time they had to do something on their end and I had to update my prl
Haven't had it happen for about a year but I've since then moved and regularly travel between multiple towers
This has happened to me since I got this phone. Sometimes I can be calling my chick and she right in front of me and she won't receive 2 to 4 calls till the phone actually rings. Same on the receiving end she can be calling me and no calls come thru. She'll be all pissed telling me off why I don't answer my phone and ill check to see if its on silent and no, and no calls missed. I think it samsung cause my chick has an htc evo and this **** doesn't happen to her. This will probably be my last samsung purchase.
Same.here. my wife has an evo and she gets all her calls. I don't get them and I get the same thing as you. Why didn't you answer your phone? Cause the damn thing didn't ring!!!!!

I can tell you it isn't a Sprint thing, as my HTC Aria does this as well and I am on AT&T.
Im applying for jobs right now and really need to receive phone calls. Does anyone have a fix at all for this? Ive updated the PRL and it just seems to get worse.
Well at least I know I'm not the only one.... I've had issues since going to EB13, never noticed it on other base-builds tho.
Yea its started on EB13 for me too
I've had this issue for years. I always presumed is was a CDMA thing. I have email, facebook, twitter, baseball news and others using 3g to check for new items. Since all these are on different timers, they may take up a not insignificant amount of bandwidth. As CDMA sends incomming calls to voicemail if you are using 3g, I thought this was what was causing the issue. But I never turned off all updates to see if the problem went away. Might be worth trying.

By your logic, if I go back to JuiceDefender, the problem may be resolved to a point.
I've had it happen from candybar and flip regular phones and dumb phones and smartphones. This is nothing new. I've experienced it for years. My suggestion is to tell people to try calling a second time. It usually gets through then. It's not the phone, its the service or technology. The phone might be in a sleeping cycle.

QFE - Both my TP and TP2 were awful about this. Still have it happen pretty frequently with the Epic. I'm sure it's issues in the network.
Has anyone else here had issues with the Droid X having cellular network disconnect issues?
What I mean by this is that the 3G stops all together, you cannot make outbound calls or SMS messages. The 3G icon goes away, yet I can see bars on the antenna strength meter.
The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone, even putting in airplane mode doesn't work. It happens about every 1.5 to 2 days on this phone. I've factory reset it, gotten a replacement phone, etc.. Nothing works and it all started with the Gingerbread update.
I'm not the only one I can tell you that, many others on the moto forum are having it too.. https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/52111
I have an ADB logcat that I could send to some folks smarter than me if someone wants to look..

Glad to see there are more people with the issue.. Now its getting Motorola to listen....
There must be something unique that you are doing. I burn about 2200 min a month of cell time, and I've had no issues.
Yeah that happens to me, I sbf back to froyo, and now I'm on liberty rom, no more cell disconnect

I'm to the point where I want to get away from Motorola all together.. This phone has always been quirky, now its just totally unreliable. I have an HTC incredible (CM7) and have 0 issues with this, so I know its not a cell reliability issue in my area.
I can tell you that I ran CM7 for a few days on the DX with no issues at all. However CM7 has a few other annoyances that the wife didn't want to deal with.
I'm working with Verizon and it sounds like they're to the point of offering up a different phone..
I was having a similar issue. Spent countless minutes on tech support with vzw, countless resets, even sent me a replacement phone and had the same issue. Determined it was google voice at fault. Had to do a factory reset from the moto bootloader (not from settings/privacy), and it finally solved the issue.
If you're using google voice, try getting rid of it, and disconnecting it from your phone.

I had the same problem with OTA Gingerbread. Cyanogenmod 7 fixed all my problems. No lie.

Hi,I'm now having these issues and more since gingerbread. Sad thing is, I had NO issues with this phone while on froyo. Verizon wants to do a complete factory reset, but that means i'd lose everything on the phone. I have it all backed up, but it takes a while to set up the damn thing the way I have it. I feel if tat what Verizon recommends, they should help set it back up.

After dealing with the issue with Verizon they agreed to let me swap the phone out for a different phone. The only rule was no 4G or no iPhone. Right now we settled on the HTC Incredible 2. I have the original Incredible, while the HTC software isn't perfect, but at least I haven't had these issues..
Bye bye Motorola.. Another plus, if this HTC has issues, as least I can run CM7 easily now..
I had(?) the same problem
history:
before upgrading to 2.3.3 my Droid X was on Froyo and rooted. In fine noob fashion I deleted bloatware during that time without backing it up so when I attempted to updated to Gingerbread I was **** blocked.
The resolution was to SBF the phone back to stock Froyo then upgread to Gingerbread, it worked like a champ... sorta
I kept noticing that the phone was really sluggish on reboots, it also kept dropping the network connection, mostly when I moved out of a wifi hotspot, the 3G wouldn't connect, not until I rebooted. I tried a few things, uninstalled misc programs blah blah blah, some of it seemed to have worked temporarily but nothing was permanent.
So, yesterday, I did a Factory Data Reset, actually had to do it 3x's since the first 2 times somehow goofed the market so that it wouldn't download and install . But 3rd time was the winner and now everything seems resolved, no more whacked out loss data connections and faster reboots!
so my suggestion - Factory Data Reset
I totally agree. Vzw tier 1 tech support can be a waste of time. After taking 30 minutes to tell me to turn on wifi, one guy told me to right click on the settings menu. I told him it was a touch screen, does that mean I have to use my right hand?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I have the same problem on rooted OTA gingerbread. My solution for the time being is to setup tasker to reboot the phone at 3am everyday. If i go back to froyo the problems go away. I posted about this a while ago. It doesn't fix the problem it just masks it but I start with a fresh phone every morning.
I have the issue too, it started right after Gingerbread.
It was *really* bad until I re-activated my phone but it still happens almost every 48 hours.
As best as I can tell, it is most likely to happen when wifi is on and you have a weak cdma/3g signal.
I'm glad to hear that CM7 seems to clear it up. Between hardware instability, the compass quality being degraded and the ever imposing presence of Blur, I'm thinking I'll never again own a phone with a locked bootloader if I can help it.
I also setup tasker to reboot my phone at 3am every night. Did this several weeks ago and I've not had a network access issue since. Not a great solution but if you got root it does seem to make the problem go away.
Hey, let me know what you think of it. I thought about grabbing one cheap and using it until a good 4G & dual core comes out.
Not sure I could go with the smaller screen though.

I have this issue on an unlocked dev dx which has slightly older hardware than the current DX's but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with the issue. I'm going to experiment with some different radio versions, because this didn't happen with all the different leaked GB radios. It wasn't until I think the 588 build that it started for me.
+1
I have had this issue ever since GB dropped for it. I am on my third X since GB. The first one smoked a memory card and battery. So I got a like new phone and all the fixings. Then the second one was also having the data issue and the camera took a **** (shutter was stuck closed). All of these have also not only rebooted randomly from day 1 with GB. Go to make a call phone reboots, send a text phone reboots. I thought it also was apps and heard about Google Voice causing it. So when I got this third one I only setup apps that it came with and nothing else. not even 2 days into having it the same **** was there. Less frequent but still there. They are going to get screamed at until I get a new device.
Switch to cm7. I love it.
