Anyone else have the Rogers LG Optimus 3D? It's the p925g. However I'm having problems with mine. Every since the v20c update my data and cell connection will freeze and cause rapid battery drain. After talking with @RogersHelps on Twitter they tell me to have it replaced/repaired. They also tell me it will cost $35 to do this. My fear is that any replacement they send will have the same issues. Does anyone else have these problems with the Rogers firmware?

I'm just trying to see if anyone else had had these problems with the stock v20c on Rogers network. I'm trying to see if it's software or hardware. If more people have this problem I might be able to get them to give me a different phone.

I have the same phone from Rogers
But not with Rogers,I just flashed a different Rom deleted all bloatware and underclocked to 800.that's the best I could do this phone has the worse battery life of any phone I've had LOL but yes after the update to gingerbread my battery and reception got way worse than froyo...my advice play it up and go for another phone development is almost non existent plus LG sucks balls for customer support

topic.. I just sent my phone to repair 2x and they cant fix it... Dont use 20P as it is AT&T and similar to 20C. The only fix I had was when I put V21E it worked great no problems no RIP msgs and no GC...
Good luck

Check the Optimus 3D forums. If you can't find support or what you're looking for in the branded model forums, always, always, ALWAYS look in the reference model's forums as the phone is basically the same across all models (P920 International O3D, P925 US-AT&T "Thrill", P925G Canadian-Rogers, SU760 Korean O3D), just minor adjustments by region (with these models the radios in particular).
I flashed my P925 with P920 firmware, unlocked it, and put it on T-Mobile and get FAR better service (deadzones roughly the same, better service at home, faster data everywhere), no GC, and NO BS from my carrier about doing it. When you get a sweet phone, make sure you get sweet service with it too.

I noticed that there are a lot of random threads regarding the Samsung Captivate for Rogers (SGH-i896) and would like to make a common one that answers a few questions and asks a few.
I made a Wiki Page for the Rogers Captivate Model. You can add your FAQ and ROMs and what not there:
Samsung Rogers Captivate - SGH I896
I hope this becomes the main post for the Rogers Captivate where all questions would be answered so we won't have to look around. I will also add links and guides to rooting your Rogers version and hope that I get input from you guys as to which ROM is working and which is not.
Cheers.
Sure you can...change the model in the update-script from SGH-i897 to SGH-i896, done =]
I figured buying AT&T version, I'll have less hassle with flashing ROMs (using captivate with Fido). Bought one off craigslist and I'm very satisfied with it
I was thinking about that too but then if I buy the Rogers version then selling it within Canada becomes a lot easier too if you wanna upgrade. I know it would be a hassle to find custom ROMs but once we get used to editing ATT ROMs we should be good

Haha yes it does make it less of a hassle. But seeing how we can just enter Rogers/Fido APNs and have a full working 3G, I think it'll be alright. Selling my European magic is a lot harder because of no 3G..

Well people usually avoid it because you can't use your warranty in Canada and I do need that! This was the only reason deterring me from buying the ATT version else I would have had it a couple of months back instead of waiting it out at Rogers. Put up your magic on eBay

Anyways back to the topic lol
I am having so much fun already with this phone from AT&T (I am w/ Fido).
I think the user base from US is much greater than Canada, especially we are pretty slow in getting anything (don't get me started ), so buying AT&T one gives us first hand on every dev goodies in XDA
The biggest question:
Does the Rogers Captivate have HSUPA enabled?
would love to try the stock rogers rom.. i'd like to see a more "samsung" rom rather than the amazingly bad ATT bloatware..
the stock roms have much longer batt life for me than the other roms here.

Rogers have HSUPA on the network, weather or not they are disabled like AT&T, only those who has the actual phone can tell.

Rogers has the capability but we don't if it is unlocked on the phone. Will know tomorrow once we have it..Here are the specs from the ROGERS website. (rogers (dot) com/captivate)
Connectivity:
HSPA Bands: UMTS 850/1900/2100 MHz
Network Speed (HSPA): Up to 7.2 Mbps*
Yall, know what this means.
UN RESTRICTED CAPTIVATE KERNAL FOR HSUPA MOBILE AP AND ALL. NO MORE FLASHING TO I9000
correct band froyo hsupa modems for all. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
AT&T branded with Rogers ROM
I currently have the AT&T Captivate but with the SGH-I896 Rogers official ROM on it and have been using this one for a month now. I love the device.
HSPA+ works 100%(check pics and you will see the H symbol instead of 3G)!! I love it but it does chew up alot more data. Doesn't matter for me as I have 6GB but for others that might be an issue. Barely any Rogers Bloatware at all.
SGH-I896 Pics
Pics of my AT&T branded SGH-I896 Rogers Samsung Captivate.
Dump the modem.bin we need it.
Hey Guys,
I just updated the main post with a link to the Wiki Page for this version of the device. Please try and add as much info as you can so that people won't have to look around.
Cheers

Any updates on this phone yet? Have you tried it out on AT&T 3G bands yet? Any luck with Cyanogenmod?
Hey Julio, let me know when you're sick of it!
Hope you're well mate.
well everyone it came in and it works perfectly on at&t! It has spanish packaging and such so it must be from a carrier in South America. I've inserted a screen cap of it working on at&t!
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
So does the 3G bands work as advertised??
Hopefully he does
Newegg has them in stock now:

Yeah Markus, I have CyanogenMod installed currently. I used the 7.1 RC1 for the Optimus 2x. Didn't change the baseband. Network indicator stayed on G for a while, it's back to normal now.

There is a setting in the hidden menu on the P990 for wcdma 850 but dont know if works.

@juzz86 what's your baseband?
Fido in Canada just launched an 850/1900 Mhz version of the Optimus 2X today (http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/Smartphones?smartphone=android&skuid=P990BLKF).
Has anyone gotten one of these yet? If so, What kind of firmware is on it? Would one be able to flash ROMs from the development forum on this device or would the radio be a problem? Specifically, I'm wondering if CM 7 would work on this thing.
Thanks

I believe CM7 works on the South American P990H, which also sports 850/1900 3G. There is a thread in the marketplace with someone selling a P990H running CM7. I doubt there'd be a lot of difference between the two, if any.
I currently have a P990H en-route and am going to attempt this, so if you haven't heard anything beforehand I'll check back in here and let you know!
Thanks for the info. I'm going to try to get my hands in one soon if possible. If I do I'll provide an update here.

Think he was after 465 if you're interested. They're about the same on Negri also. I don't think there's any bloat on them either.

Planning to rewnew my contract on Fido to get the Optimus 2x.
But they offer me a crappy plan to stay with them.
might as well go to Bell and get the SGS2!!
I just saw that early today was added a Fastboot Package for Claro Argentina (Milestone 3 XT860) in this thread: [Fastboot Files] Gingerbread 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 for UMTS XT860 Milestone 3 (Can't link, sorry).
Here is my problem: two weeks ago I was able to access internet from my XT860 using 3G from my house, but since the 24th of December I'm not able to (2G - EDGE works good). I don't know why. If I move two blocks away from my house I have perfect reception and I can use 3G data without any problems. I already took the phone no customer's service and they gave it back to me with another blur version but still it doesn't work. I'm making almost daily calls to Claro but they don't do anything.
Currently I'm using: 2.3.4 with 5.1.790. Should I expect any change if I flash the new files?
Thank you for your help.

That sounds more like a problem with their network. I don't know why your device would selectivly not work just at your house. That's an odd software bug.

Make sure your battery is fully charged, recently another user borked his phone as it died during flashing. I have a thread called xt860, custom roms and you that has a full guide on fastboot flashing, rooting and custom roms

I think its with their network, or perhaps physical interference from something nearby. I can't think of why it would selectivly not work only at your house if it was a hardware/software issue it would be either all the time or totally random. Try mapping out the area where it cuts in/out and report it to your carrier.

I've already reported it. Several times. But they just answer "the computer shows that the antenna is working fine, you shouldn't have any troubles". I call every day to complain about it but they just don't do anything.
does anyone has this or its just me?
i see EE instead of Orange or Orange-tmobile.
is it network or my phablet?
rooted stock ics gNote
ps. everything works fine so far.
by everything i mean network and phone.

It's the network, they've changed the name.

I wondered when this would come about.
Iphones have rhe EE stuff
Some android handsets at work have it
I don't seem to have it as yet
when you say stock is your rom sim free or carrier version
I am on T-Mobile and mine is still showing orange and tmobile rather than EE
Mine is Open Europe rom
Wonder if its a different radio that needs flashing
Any chance of posting your phone details
Rom etc
Network's changed its name.
Some people I know had it change a few weeks ago, others only the other day. Don't worry about it either way, it's pretty much just aesthetic.
My wife had a letter from orange saying that she will soon be seeing EE instead of 3G/H because they are starting to use Everything Everywhere's data network in preperation for the release of Oranges first 4G capable handsets/tariffs.
