I see people on the forums posting all these issues . I never had any . I use my g2x everyday for school . The battery life is pretty good too i was able to get 70% still even through usage in school. I 1st had a nexus one it was a great phone but it had little memory for apps even when i had a sd card . I personally think the g2x is a great phone. It has plenty of memory space the screen isn't that bad compared to some devices. Although it didn't come with a sd card or earphones which is pretty bootleg to me but i have the phone and its great. So whats up with all these problems?
Mines perfect too but it is the 4th one. It's a shame it takes 3 returns to get a perfect phone.

Well, obviously some people have genuine issues, but more than anything it's new phone syndrome. Everyone is looking over their phones, testing them, playing with them. Realistically, if you stare at anything long enough, you can find a flaw, and when someone points a minor, barely noticeable flaw they discovered on their phone out to someone else, they either see the same flaw and freak out about it too, or imagine it.

While I do agree with what you stated I know in my case it is not just cosmetics it is a phone that is not functional and erratic. I am to receive a third one hopefully by Thursday. So far the first was unacceptable and the second was absolutely unusable. It is a shame as I really do like a lot of things about this phone.
Well i guess it is pretty normal, but i really just don't understand why you would point out a problem of your new phone that you paid your hard earned money for.

So, if you bought a new car and it had issues you would just keep quiet?
I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, but what you just said makes no sense.
People are pointing out there issues to see if others are having the same problem and possibly find a solution to the problem.
It also helps people who have not yet bought the phone to see what kind of issues it is having to determine if they still want to get it or wait until they are resolved.
8 Hours in after a 100% with at least 3 or so plus hours now with Blue tooth on and sitting at 35% now listening to music still and going to try and kill it before I'm off at 9. Let alone im twittering and using the 4g net to look at some things from twitter.
I'm not saying to keep quiet or anything but i see a ton of problems and yet i have no issues what so ever.
I just exchanged for the 2nd time today, and I am now on my 3rd g2x. The first one had light bleeding, and rebooted over 10 time the first day.
2nd one had the light bleed on a black screen, and a brown stain across the bottom of the screen when on a white background, and 3 dead pixels. The brown stain was very noticable, and anyone I showed the phone said something before I pointed it out. Worst, the gps couldn't lock my location to save its life. One day I kept trying for 40 minutes and the g2x never locked the location, even after factory resets and several reboots. I had to get on WIFI to make it work. Today it would find a location, but it was almost a mile away from me. It continued doing this throughout the day as I went to other locations. So I returned it.
Just opened up my 3rd one. I'm told they just got a new shipment today, and it's out of that shipment. My hopes are high! I turn on the phone, I tell myself this is the one. This one is going to have a display that doesn't bleed. Wouldn't you know i'm greeted to backlight bleed. But this one is worst than the pictures on the forums, and by far worst than the first 2 phones.
I'm beside myself. The phone runs so smooth, and I really want a dual core stock android phone. But between the reboots, the bleeding screen, the dead pixels, the gps that doesn't work, I think it's time to throw in the hat.
I'm trying one more time, but this time i'm going to pay the restock fee, and go to a different store. If this one is bunk, that's it, i'm done. I'm waiting for the next "super phone". I read a lot about the nexus one having major issues when I got it (ordered the day it came out), but I never had any. Maybe this is just a luck of the draw thing, and i'm exceptionally unlucky this time. But it seems a lot of other people on these forums are having the same issues.
Not a single issue for me..perfect coming from a vibrant..
I'm having a problem with the external sd card on my phone. Its locked up, not locked, like password, but locked as in it says its a read only filesystem, and no matter what I do I can't edit the files or the permissions. can some one please give me some ideas on what I can do?
Im ecstatic that I finally made the switch to Tmo last week, just for this phone. Ive been with ATT, and their Android lineup, which imo, Captivate is the only one worth hanging on to.
Ive been watching Tmo for the last 3 years get the G1, N1, Nexus S, and now the G2x. Had enuff, and left ATT last week. Got out of one ETF, but still ended up with $345 ETFs on other 2 lines. And I dont regret it one bit so far. Even went on a Craigslist selling spree of all my ATT Androids except my Cappy (loved that phone).

No issues here ... on my 4th g2x though.
I agree that some people are just nit picking their phone, but that's ok - they spent a lot of hard-earned cash on this phone and they should get one that acceptable to them.
My first 3 had major issues:
1st one had the brown "stain" across the bottom of the screen and along the entire right side.
2nd one had reception, wifi and data connectivity issues.
3rd one started FC ing every time I touched the Android to set up the phone and if I skipped initial setup so I could connect to wifi. If I did get it set up, then it was just wonky - random reboots, lockups that required a battery pull, a couple of factory resets because I got stuck in the "checking system" bootloop. !Oy vey!
My 4th g2x is acceptable. Minor lcd bleeding, but I only notice it on the splash screen and the boot and power off animations. Can't see it when playing games or watching a movie in a dark room, so I'm ok with it.
As someone said earlier, its a shame it takes so many "attempts" to get an acceptable phone. But, to T-Mo's credit, at least they are doing what they can to make it right. They've been good to me about the exchanges and never really hassled me about any of them.
Mine is fine.
LCD backlight breeding is minimal and it's not enough to bother me, but ogg vorbis tag problem is more important.
Minimal backlight bleeding. Everything else is great.
Mines fine. One reset once... hasn't happened again and its been quite a while... love this phone

hardware or software
After all ur exchanges, did u get a feeling that this might be an hardware issue? (I know lcd bleeding is but.. all the other issues). Then i think it is ideal to wait out for an update from t mo or google or some custom dev for fixing all these issues right? I know when u have an option to switch , we go for it but just chkng if it is becaus of hardware that we are bound to do that...

I personally think that the screen is great, my girlfriend has the Samsung Droid Charge and although its a bit sharper I think the display on the G2x is nicer than that AMOLED on the Samsung Droid Charge.
My first post!!!!!!
I upgraded to the Sensation from the Mytouch 4G (I got lucky and got a FULL upgrade after only 5 months!!!!)(After 11 years with Voicestream/Tmobile I finally got something!!).... anyway as soon as I turned it on there were problems. It was not smooth at all and very jerky and unresponsive. Would not switch from WiFi to cell network (had to force it). So...I did my first reset (soft). Still not very responsive....second reset (hard). Still not responsive and jerky. Replaced SD card.....and BAM it works.
Then comes the next day.... won't switch to cell network without asking it nicely. Then again unresponsive and very slow. GPS not working, won't lock on anything. So another hard reset. BAM...working???
Then tried to make a call....press the #3 button, and nothing, nothing for 5 seconds later... it finally acknowledges I pressed the #3.
Call AmazonWireless and overnight a replacement.....
The funny part is I ordered 2 Sensations..One for me and one for the wife. Hers gets delivered overnight, mine 2 days. Her works freaking' AWESOME!!! Mine is a BIG LEMON!!!
2 BIG issues with this phone. First.. the death grip is not even a grip. Just place one finger along the back top edge and WiFi dies. I have issues watching youtube without killing WiFi. Second, no bluetooth voice dial. Known issue should be fixed in an upcoming release.
Amazon gave you a full upgrade after 5 mos on a 2-yr contract? How did you get past the upgrade qualification checker? Did TMO somehow give Amazon a pass?
Amazon did it right by overnighting a replacement. My phone died completely and TMO is making me send them the phone, and once they receive it I have to call them to request a new one. Will take over a week to get the replacement. Not good service.
That sucks to hear. Any phone can be a lemon from any manufacturer. I hope your 2nd device behaves the way mine does, if so you'll love it.
This upgrade is kinda a funny story. I have 3 lines and called Tmobile to ask about an upgrade for my third line (my son). Rep said it did not qualify for an upgrade yet...... but your other 2 lines do qualify!!! My first thought was must be a mistake...so I said Thanks and hung up.
I jumped online and logged into my account and hit the upgrade button...sure enough it showed a FULL upgrade.
I went to AmazonWireless and went thru the process and it also said I qualified. I immediately ordered 2 HTC Sensations....I didn't even have to think, I knew I had to get the Sensation. Great phone and even better reviews!!

Ok, I was just curious. It's good to be lucky.
sorry to hear i just switched mine with same issues got one made after june works perfect im so happy now!
man Im lucky, not problem one. Yet... Only 2 days of use though.
I have had the Sensation for 14 days and for the most part issue and trouble free. This morning I noticed it had rebooted on me. I thought oh well just a freak occurence. Than the volume went off completely and after checking all settings(they were all set correctly.) I did a hard reset and the volume seemed okay. A short time later the same volume issue surfaced again so I powered off and pulled the battery and rebooted. Once again all seemed okay. Then I noticed the lock screen did not want to unlock, after numerous attempts it finally did. This is starting to become the norm. Than the phone just went to the HTC screen (I guess it had rebooted itself again) and a reboot was just finishing up.The volume is now much lower than it ever has been(and it was too low to start with) . It seems as if the phone is just exhibiting issues by the hour. Has anyone else had this type of thing occur? I have just 5 days left in buyers remorse and this is my third one. The other two were just unusable, I must make a decision very shortly as to whether to ask for a replacement or just a refund. I really like this phone but am sort of shocked at how it went from no issues for almost 2 weeks to numerous issues almost overnight. Any input or help is certainly appreciated.

Can't give you any real answer. All we do here is collect anecdotes. But I saw something similar. My phone was perfect for 5 days. Then it was sitting on a table and rebooted spontaneously. After that it seemed fine. A day later when I tried to play a video, regardless of the app, all I got was a black screen. Reboot didn't fix it. Battery pull did fix it. Until the next day when it happened again. Formatted the SD and that "fixed" it until the next day when the phone just beeped once and died completely. As in door nail dead. No lights, nothing. Swapped the battery, plugged in the charger, nothing. So it's in the process of being replaced.
Whether those events are connected, or represent some pattern of accumulating problems and eventual death, who knows. Hearing reports like this is not reassuring, but we have no idea if the failure rate is 1 in 100, 1000 or 100,000.
Hi,
do you remember the last application you installed before issues started? Maybe removing it will solve your problem.

Id return it and get a new phone.

Thanks for the kind and informative reply. I am just totally flabbergasted at what has occurred with it the last 2 days. I have done factory resets - hard resets-battery pulls etc and weird and wild things continue to happen. I just had it go to the white HTC screen while using an app with no warning or notice( I believe it had rebooted again on its own.) The most puzzling is the volume going from its normal weak state to no volume to partial volume etc. Also in Manage Applications the majority of the time I go into change or delete an app it is not responsive and I have to go in 2 or 3 times for it to respond. Talked to a friend of mine at a T Mobile retailer a few moments ago and she said she had purchased a Sensation when they got their stock in and after 3 days got a refund. They were shipped 35 and had only sold 3 (hers included) and all three had been returned for a different phone. I am just amazed. I am at a BestBuy where I am playing with the EVo3D and it just seems smoother and faster and the volume even sounds louder. I wonder if another replacement of this phone will do any good, this is my third one and I thought this was solid.

Yes i removed the last 3 apps I had installed(2 were GPS related mileage tracking apps) and an HTC widge(quick recorder). Still wierd issues and touch screen is now becoming erratic. It just changed ring tones on its own!! Went into music app and when I hit play it just spins and does nothing.
Just called CS rentention dept and they are sending out a replacement phone but did say that random reboots and overheating and touchscreen issues have been acknowledged by HTC but not the volume issues. I hope that this will be a solid unit(and stay that way). I have read on other threads that the replacments(new ones) coming out now seem to be issue free( or at least only minor issues).
returned
i had same issue and returned mine model 5/31/11 15 got new one 6/6/11 16 and is flawless SO happy to gotten a good one...the guy at the store said same model that failed on me, that out of 100 sold 1 person besides me had bad pick of those dates. seems its not the date or 15 16 model but a few in every batch is messed up...unfortunatley seems u had a bad pick 3 times already id go back play with one in store and exchange again...i could barely get courasel to spin on old one and on the newer one its snappy one flick and courasels no lock issue(my old one if it was on a table and u tried unlock, FAIL! untill u actually picked it up it would unlock(like a grounding problem) all those issues are out the window!
will try to post utube video of new one...some utube guy had evo3d vs sensation and was clowning on how the touch response was laggy on sensation compared to evo3d(looked like old model phone i had) new one would def give the 3d a challenge NOW!

Mine lasted for 12 days and then it just has gone apesh.t. Lock screen and scrolling and random reboots while I am using an app. No volume at all then very weak volume(it was pretty weak to begin with). HTC widgets not working at all. Device does not register or acknowledge phone call and I have been missing phone calls. touchscreen issues also. This is my third one and there is a fourth on the way. I do like this phone but if the one on the way has issues as well and there is no word on an update fix from HTC than I believe I will just return it and wait a short time for the EVo3D which is rumored to hit T mobile shortly. It does not seem to suffer from the multitude of issues that the Sensation does and has more ram than the Sensation. I played with one at Bestbuy and it appeared to be smoother and faster than the Sensation and the touchscreen was really quite good. T Mobile also acknowledged to me that it does need a software upgrade but stated they have no idea when it will come about. I have doubts that root and custom roms will fix all of the issues but then again it just might.

well im hoping for an update , i really like this phone alot , i really dont want an evo 3d ,more ram but less camera and video recording , im sure once the bootloader gets cracked then the sky is the limit for this phone , i mean look what the devs did for the HD2 , im gonna stick it out for as long as i can , if things don get straighten out ill just wait for the next best thing , and it wont be a samsung phone , i hate them ,ill just wait for the next htc phone to hit tmobile thats not the evo ,if that even happens
I had the same thing happen, and also got a replacement on the way.... Tuesday also. This will be my fourth. I had 3 g2x phones and now 4 sensations.. honestly.the sensation has more issues, but its a better phone. Last chance on Tuesday, if not, I'm going back g2x ...
I think they push phones out to fast now and need to use more quality..
yep. mine has gone nuts about a couple of hours. i have it since june 17 and everything worked perfect and now the wifi wont work. 2 weeks reading all these things here and i was thinking that i dodge the bullet but it got me.
EDIT : i think i jump the gun too fast. tested my ps3 thru the wireless network and it connects like 50% of the time. again the ps3 is in the same room as the router. went to my cousins house and the phone conected to the wireless effortless on the first try. i dont know if it is the phone or the router.i dont know what to think anymore.

I also have a G2X (my fourth one) andi it is pretty doggone solid, no major issues. I too had thought I had gotten lucky with the Sensation(3rd one) but after 12 days it is apparent that I did not. I also believe the Sensation ( with all of its warts and issues) is the better phone or the phone with the greatest potential. I am beginning to wonder if the problem lies with consumers like me. I continue to buy and support companies and devices (cell phones) that are defective out of the gate and then continue to sit by and hope that the device is updated and made to work like it should have been out of the box, when the track record shows that this is not always the case (maybe even rarely). I would not tolerate a computer that had issues out of the box, nor a TV or a Car and the list goes on. I guess I am just too eager or hungry for the cutting edge cell phones so I accept (even though I grumble) whatever they throw out at the time. Knowing ahead of time that there will be issues and that some will not be resolved. I guess instead of looking at the cell phones I should be looking at my actions and desires surrounding the cell phones. Maybe it is the pursuit of the unreachable goal--the perfect smartphone, that leads me to keep up the acceptance of mediocrity..LOL

Yep exactly,and we will keep buying them no matter what , I originally was gonna wait a month or 2 after the sensation cane out to actually get one ,looking back now I probably should have , I guess when the next superphone comes out ill try to hold back a little longer , I just wish I hadn't sold my HD2 now ,at least is have a great phone to fall back on while these issues get resolved ...oh well good luck to everyone who's in the same boat as me right now
Mine went crazy yesterday, but today is fine again ... Strange

Mine came to me nuts...so I grounded it and let it sit in the box, hoping it would learn its lesson. No dice. Tried it again last night and it was an ungrateful POS. So I called amazonwireless to return it. They offerred to send a replacement instead. After seeing all you guys with replacements,, thought I would give it a try too.
Ironically,, I called for the sensation replacement from my G2x
Strangest thing... this morning I grabbed my phone first thing. It was plugged in so I unplugged it.
I pushed the power button and nothing, it wouldn't turn on. So I took the battery out and put it back in.
Turned it on and that battery was at just about 30%, yet it had been on the charger all night.
So, for some reason my phone turned itself off and would not turn back on AND it did not charge all night while plugged into the charger.
To top it off-- Yesterday my phone all of a sudden had the screen problem. Couldn't type, get carousel working etc...
NOW- it works great!
I think the device itself is fine. Tmobile and Htc need to release a os update.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Alright, so lately my Inspire has been going to the crapper. I rooted about 3 months ago using the Ace Hack Kit and it ran perfectly for 2 and a half months with the ROM it provides. The last few weeks it has been freezing running simple tasks and locking up. This in itself got very annoying, but now its gone over the top with my external speaker quit on me. I have no idea why it should do that, because I take care of the phone and use it regularly. Any help? I can live without the speaker if I have to, but I would really like to clean up the performance big time
Edit: And battery life is terrible, but I think that may just be time for a new battery anyway
If your speaker is busted, I'd recommend returning to stock and seeing if you can get it replaced under warranty

What he said. My external speaker blew too. Just happens in common electronics. Return to stock rom and if want to, then unroot it. Use the search to find the thread on how to unroot. Its very easy and possible. And call up HTC and see if your phone is still under warranty. They will give you a number and you will right that on your package. All you have to pay for is shipping. beats paying for a new phone. ATT wanted to charge me $150 for a new phone and I bought it for $99. You can see why I went with HTC. They didnt detect any software issues with rooting or anything like that. They replaced the speaker and sent it back within 2 weeks.
Buy a new speaker from ebay. You can pick one up last time I checked for $2. Takes about 5 minutes to replace. Will void your warranty though since you have to remove the back.
It came back on amazingly, but it was after several days and restarting it numerous times. It was threatening to not give me my pics back, but it all came back and is running pretty good now
