I dont know if I am behind the curve on this one but this is so awesome! Check out the video on "Torque". That is what the "app" is called (at least on the android market). It has every gauge and even real time graphs you can save for data logging! Definitely ordering this for my phone tonight and will update when I receive it! If its half as cool as the video then for $35 bux what more do you want?!?!

Its the 2nd video down!
I ordered the OBD2 Bluetooth unit for $28 shipped.
I got the OBD2 today in the mail (4 business days )and just went for a test drive around the block and I am really....really surprised how it seems like there is no lag in data. The gauges also show my coolant temp lower on the OBD2 (phone). The gauges keep track of the highest point (any parameter) and there is even an option for mpg average and instant! For $28 + $4.99 for the app (I am using the free app right now). This is the best/ coolest phone app I have seen. I know OBD2 data logging isn't the best and I will be installing a egt/ boost gauge in the future but this is what your truck computer reads and calculates its performance on so its good for me too!! You can pick what you want the program to data log then it updates the information to your profile on the app website.

Buy what the bluetooth dongle? I ordered mine from here but they are all over ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0492197675&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT
The app you can get on the market just type in torque (there is a free and paid one)

That's sweet! I just bought a bluetooth dongle and I'm gonna get Torque as soon as it comes in!
im totally hooked i got one.... what other software is there other then his?
Will any bluetooth obd2 connector work with these apps? I have one that I've been using with a winmo app on my axim but the updates for the app are insanely expensive. Like $200. It would be awesome to have a new app, especially on android.

It basically allows you to see in real time what your engine and its computer are talking about behind your back. You can even shut the computer up with it also if it gets to whining about it and your engines problems.

okay so with this app i can basically find out what problems i have with my engine??? like say I have a cylinder 3 misfire, will it say that on the app?
Yes, it'll show you any trouble codes and allow you to see the values of any sensor connected to your OBD...
nice nice so what else do i need? and where do i connect this bluetooth dongle in the car?
Do a search on youtube. There's a few good videos that'll break it down for you.
Whoa. This is the best app ive ever seen! I've been needing an obd2 for a while. Thanks so much for heads up. Saved me from getting a seperate unit.

Cool. So I picked up the HD7 this AM here in NYC. All my contacts, emails and calendar imported from Google with no problem. Putting some music and photos on and I downloaded the Facebook App from the Marketplace. So far so good...lets see in a couple of hours.
Picked mine up as well so far it is great. Exchange came in with mail, contacts, and calendar just fine.
me too
got mine too, i'm liking it so far.
had to tweak the outlook setup because of a university email (off site exchange server), but downloaded everything pretty fast.
Just a note. If you have a contact whos mobile number is listed as a home phone it wont show up under messaging or allow you to SMS that person. You have to change it. I didnt have to do that in Android.
Got mine today as well. LOVE IT!!!!!
I gotta say, Android does not do this processor any justice... I knew it was smooth by reading reviews but this thing blew me away from the first swipe... Even the iPhone has to work hard to keep up
I know it has limitations and I'm not gonna dismiss them as not needed like a lot of people do... All I'm saying is that im willing to grow with the platform and enjoying every minute of it
yeah.. this device is ridiculously fast..
it makes my galaxy S feel slow and I know the hardware isn't as good in this phone as it is in that one..
Yep, ordered mine today. Hopefully (since I payed for express shipping) it should be here tomorrow. Can't wait! Glad to hear all the good stuff about it as there have been many haters talking about how bland it looked and nit pick the things it doesn't have yet.
I picked mine up today as well. The only things I am missing from the Nexus One are an XDA app, an Engadget app, and Swype.
I'm sure these apps will come in time.
so i went to play with one at my t mobile store and all they had was the dummy unit! Wasn't this supposed to launch today!?
Terrible launch IMHO.

Why are you calling it a terrible launch some stores don't have the unit. you should have gone to another tmobile store to check it out and a lot of 3rd party retailers have the demo as well.
you just do not wanted to put in enough effort to research and blame the whole world for it
My t-mobile store had one on saturday that people could look at..
Looks like your store is fail..
The T-Mobile store I went to on Saturday when I went to pick up my HD7 had a live demo. I got to play with it while the rep activated my phone. They were all pretty excited about the phone too, surprisingly.
Well...phone will not sync with Zune. Sucks really. I will keep trying but it doesnt look like its going to work. I drag music to the phone icon and its says syncing on the phone...but nope..nothing is there....even if i click summary in zune and hit sync it says its doing it but its a no go. Hmm.
Drag it into your collection first.then right.click and add it to the HD7.

Spec wise the MT4G wins hands down. Faster CPU/GPU, More RAM and HSPA+. I was in a similar situation but then opted to go for the HD7 simply because I am interested in the OS. Hoping it's better than the Android and iOS. Also hoping in the next update we get flash capability or Silverlight/html 5.
I absolutely love it! Granted I've only had it 2 hours. Stuck to hand.

WOW, i will not be buying LG TV's anytime soon. First LG product I ever owned is this G2x. I get warranty on everything I buy because you never know what can go wrong. Warranty has saved my butt on more than one occasion.

I have the top of the line LG Blu-ray player as well from about 2 years ago, the BD-370 and it reboots every time I put Avatar in the damn thing.
that being said I've owned a lot of LG devices and only had problems with the blu-ray player, my G2X has ben pretty damn solid.
If you notice he's using a Cable remote. Probably programmed the remote wrong so it was sending the wrong codes to the TV.
Plus he's using the "All-off" button, which sends on-off codes to multiple devices, which could share the same code with the TV. I have a Harmony One and know the efforts of getting a remote programmed effectively.
I just can't blame the TV. What about if you walked up to the TV and hit the power button? It would probably work. Also, LG's have a MAIN power switch at the bottom right next to the buttons where you could do a manual power down... no need to unplug it.
The guy just seems like a noob and doesn't know what he's doing thus makes me believe he was the problem.
I have a 55" LG and it works fantastic (not saying my fantastic TV speaks for all).

I have an LG Infinia TV and Blu Ray player and it's the best picture I've seen in any TV set! No problems here!
Just on the G2X!
....
I have an LG TV an love it. Not a single issue and like it better than my brother in laws Sony with the same specs. Now the Vizio I owned for about a week.....that is another story. It did randomly turn itself off, did it about 5 times the first week. When I returned it to Sams Club, the guy said the electronics manager had the same issue with the same model. Looked it up online and seems it was a common issue with bad soldering. I have also heard that TVs sold at Walmart and Sams Club are assembled in Mexico and they use things like plastic screws and little solder to try to make it cheaper, where at other stoers they are the same parts but assembled in Japan or elsewhere. My lesson was to never buy any TV from Walmart or Sams, or a Vizio.
LG TV's are BEAST will admit this youtube vid is prety funny hahaha
Idk all blu-ray players except for the ones with wifi/updates have been having issues playing back the newer kinds. And the G2x is their first attempts in a smartphone market, and I'm loving mine. I have a 50" plasma 240hz refresh rate with a 3,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio.
Isn't bit to offtopic?. Moved to the OT forums.
that would be annoying, esp after paying 2K
oh god, i hope my LG netbook don't start turning off and on by itself
lol very funny!
I fail to find it amusing, but that's just me.

Listening to the radio. It came up either damn early morning or late at night (can't remember). Then I checked online the next day and read the papers.
I was at home, I had gotten up for work and like every other day I turned the news on. I was shocked, thought it was fake.

I was walking from the garage to work when my hubby called me....
So it was about 5 months since I moved to the states. I was in school, beginning of 4th grade. My teacher walks in and says Michal is going home. I say, sure why not. lol. I get home, watch some cartoon network. Switch the channel. Nice movie, next channel, same movie etc. I run out of my house and go to the corner where the twin towers were visible from. Now all I saw was a big dust cloud.
I was @ work, listening to the radio. Saw the second tower go down on TV. Didn't believe my eyes.
I was sleeping after working 3rd shift when my mother called me to tell me about it, I turned on the TV and seen the second tower get hit. God bless those that died that day and God be with the ones that lost someone on that tragic day.
at 2nd or 3rd grade. dont remember which. school got locked down and nobody left until 5 or 6 that night. it was scarey hearing the teachers talk about what happened. i knew friends of my family worked there, but thank god it was their day off..... just wish everyone elses family was that lucky. :/

I know what you mean about wrapping your mind around it. It wasn't until i read a book written by one of the surviving Firemen, who was in a tower as it collapsed and by some miracle survived, could i get a grip on what it must have been like for the people involved.
Terrible, terrible thing to happen. I wonder how the people of the world will commemorate the 10 year anniversary?
I was 15 or 16 at the time, and was on a fieldtrip with the class. We (me and my friends) were outside roaming the little town we were in and the teachers watched the news when we got back, and i thought they watched a movie. That wasn't the case.
I was at Auburn University, just sat down for class. Teacher ran in and turned on TV and all he said was "you can stay or leave..."
I've been experiencing weird issues mostly during Spotify audio streaming as well as during playing local files and a video once. It will play music fine for a couple songs then it will stop all sound yet show that it is still playing. From that point generally if I skip to the next track it will hard reboot. I tried a factory reset already but it hasn't helped. Anyone know my options here? I'd return it but I dropped the phone about a foot yesterday and the glass cracked near the volume buttons, it doesn't go over the screen but it's enough that I couldn't return it now.

My wife was complaining about something similar today, except hers didn't reboot, but she also might not have tried to skip track. Just to mention though, Spotify dropped an updated version to the play store today. Perhaps that might fix your issue?

You're not the only one. A friend dropped his on Saturday and got a crack all the way across the back/home/menu buttons. I thought these things were supposed to have Gorilla Glass on them... Anyways, you could always go to AT&T's website and purchase the insurance since you're still in the 30 day window, for $6.99/mo, and then pay the $125 deductible to get a replacement...

Unfortunately it has happened during a video, during Spotify (multiple versions, found a list of many old APKs on their forum) and also during Pandora so I'm not really sure what to do but wait and hope someone with more knowledge points me in the right direction.

I'll probably just leave it the way it is since it doesn't actually affect the glass. If I ever figure out how to add a warranty I'll probably do it now so I can replace it once I'm fed up with looking at the crack. Thanks for the suggestions!
After you log in to myatt, if you hover over the myatt menu, and then wireless, there's an option about mobile insurance. If you go there, it gives you the option to add insurance to eligible devices.

Yeah you're right, I contacted HTC first (haha) to see what they have to say about replacing it even though the glass is cracked. If it ends up being 200+ to get it fixed I don't know what I'll end up doing. Sucks because other than the audio reboots and the crack this phone is my favorite android phone ever and I've had a lot of them.

Thanks, it's in the box and ready to ship. Hopefully there is some development going on by the time I get a working one back, it kinda surprises me there isn't more interest in this. It's the first Android phone that felt right in my hand, was decently quick, easy to get to stock and had great battery life.
