I was looking to get a couple of batteries for my T-mobile G2x and I come across this link in ebay, so I was wondering if anyone has try this battery yet, please reply to my post on http://www.G2XForums.com it seems to be good but this is the only store that has it and I can’t find any info about it.

Yup, I’ve noticed some funky signal issues: the phone drops from 4G to 2G and back again in known coverage areas. That’s sure to hit the battery life and I’m hoping to see a firmware / baseband update to address. I may manually change my radio settings, but I didn’t want to do that for review purposes as most people won’t know how to do that.

I’m curious to see what kind of battery life you get on the G2X. For the first few days I was getting about nine hours. I noticed that the phone kept switching between WCDMA and EDGE. After changing the radio settings to WCDMA only, my average is now roughly 14.5 hours. It’s a great solution for T-Mobile customers that live in an area with strong 3G/4G coverage, but other users will have to suffer poor battery life until a firmware update is issued.

LG entered the high-end Android smartphone game a bit late, but I think we’ve just gained another solid player besides HTC, Samsung and Motorola. I think they’ll be able to compete head-on with the other 3.

I heard LG will make the Nexus 3 for Google and will have a Tegra 3 chip. An author from AndroidAndMe said he had some kind of inside tip. It would make sense, since LG is now a good Android manufacturer, too, and it would be their turn to be helped by Google with their products. Motorola got Droid 1 and Xoom, Samsung got Nexus S and HTC Nexus One. The Tegra 3 rumor would also make sense since Google is very tight with Nvidia now, and LG might want to break another Guinness Book record, this time with a quad core phone :).

Also, perhaps Google listened to the negative feedback on Nexus S, that it didn’t set the tone for new hardware the way Nexus One did. I’d say having a quad core chip in Nexus 3 would set that tone quite nicely.
