Love the phone but not enough to vote for it. Very upset with the battery issues this phone is having. So for me voting is almost like recommending it to someone. It's actually making me miss my T-Mobile g2 I had. They should of had that phone on the list.

It's kind of lame they're comparing it to a phone that won't come out for another 3-4 months. They must be webOS fanboys (though webOS is nice all around, just needs a platform to run on) but really, comparing a phone you can have now to a phone you can have sometime in the summer when it's barely spring right now?
At least they're not comparing to jesusphone 5 (which wont be out for another 7-8 months if that)
Yes, I agree, it should only be open to phones that actually exist. I'm sure there will be an HTC out in 2 years that will kick all their asses - lets put it in the bracket, too...
P.S. - It IS ugly. Looks like Salvador Dali painted a Blackberry...
Palm has a physical keyboard fetish they wont get over, but obviously they could design a phone better that has a keyboard too. The first pixie phone (horrible name though) was pretty well designed.
To be honest, that whole "bracket" is bull****.

After looking at it a little closer I have to agree. I mean really, the BB Torch in the final four? Weak.

Exactly. And although I do not like the iPhone, it should definitely make an appearance in the Final Four... but I guess that is why it is called March Madness.

Are you kidding me?
Girlfriend wins, but seriously that's a pretty small thing to complain about unless you are spending hours looking at your shiny little phone instead of staring into her eyes................turn off your phone and live!!!
Title was misleading I'm not choosing between them. She just hates my phone. Didn't know if I was the only one who seems to be diagnosed "obsessed" by the girlfriend lol.

Wife hate too!
Don't worry, this doesn't only effect girlfriends, my wife HATES, HATES, HATES my beautiful baby!
Can't we all just get along? Maybe I'll text her and ask!
Both my wife and daughter wanna kill me for mine.
Help her get a phone on par with yours then she'll praise you.
For my wife, she's not a geek but writes nearly everything down to stay organized. She had a Pantech Feature phone. So when my upgrade came, I got a Captivate. She wasn't too impressed until I got Netflix on it then told her that she can search all things Google with it and check her email.
So she says that when her upgrade came up, she'll upgrade to an Infuse, give it to me and switch SIMs with the Captivate and she'll take that. Cappy is running Continuum.
Since then I never hear the end of her praises for the phone and me. She loves Evernote and we share stuff all the time. She barely turns on her PC now(which used to be mine but that's another talk show).
Plus I'm running the Infuse....WIN!!!!!
Help your woman love the Super AMOLED goodness and ... you'll get a 'reward'!!!
You know...the 'reward' we dudes always want? THAT reward...yeah...

My wife does not say anything at all,poor girl.Anytime and every time I sit on the sofa or recliner I start using this beast.Always hanging out with my Streak.She says you always find something to do with it,regardless of what you do,I try not to show it to her much so she doesn't get hooked.
And of course the Netflix app just make it super duper much better.
My wife hated it and always complained about my free time I spent with my smartphone habit. She is an iphone user, so her opinion doesn't matter anyway!
My new GF is almost as bad as me and thinks it's hot that I can do all this cool stuff. She is getting a Nexus S this weekend and is so excited. She uses a Nexus One now. I'm getting a SGS2 next month.

I got a free G2x from a buddy. phone's water damage stickers are red but he cant remember it ever getting soaked in water. He found the phone dead and then we noticed the stickers. the phone wont turn on and since I know LG or T-Mobile wont exchange it I figured id try to repair it myself. A friend told me that I should open it and clean the corrosion with some rubbing alcohol but I cant find any help online? Has anybody tried to do that to G2x or any phone for that matter? Any help would be appreciated
The phone is most likely dead..
I know I'm going to hear some **** for what I'm about to say but when has that ever stopped me.
I'm not going to give you specifics or tell you what I would do but those water damage indicators can be replaced. You can find them multiple places online. After you replace them, its up to you to decide what to do.
Have a good day.

Yup, that's how I imagined the comments would look like. I'm just glad you beat them to it.
By the way, I'm glad I kept the G2X. Right now I'm browsing the XDA forum and playing Riptide at the same time. I do have to pause the game every once in a while though.

lol I know right... That riptide is the ****. Graphics are amazing on that game. I really think the tegra is a great cpu/gpu combo. Honestly looking at the photon @ 1ghz tegra and a skin vs the htc 3d and its 1.2 snapdragon with a skin, the photon just seems to out perform it in anything.
You could shed more light as you got rid of sense on the sensation. So both stock say bump the tegra to 1.2ghz, which one performs the best? At the same clock speed?

If you'd like to take the honest way out, there is a complete photo disassembly guide here.
Riptide is way cool on my 55" Sony. I gotta get a longer HDMI cable though, 6 foot ain't long enough.
P.S. Anyone who would receive a damaged phone for free then conceal the damage and attempt to return the phone for a new one is a thief pure and simple. If there were any justice at all those actions would result in prosecution and incarceration.
Perhaps you should make your way to a public square where you can smash the windows out of a T-Mobile store and just take whatever you want. After all, those rich bastards deserve it don't they?
We are doomed.

Not to be an ass, but isn't LG a thief? They sold us a phone with software that is horrible. Some of us who rely on our phones for simple task such as an alarm are late for work when the phone freezes. T-Mobile sold most of us a so called unlimited plan, but we get data throttled. T-Mobile claims 21+mbps, but no one has seen speeds anywhere close to that. I guess everyone is a thief. To each his own.

I agree, T-Mo has been less than honest with us. They should suffer the consequences of that breach of trust.
Not only will stealing from T-Mo make it harder and more expensive on the rest of us, but also the simple truth is... two wrongs don't make a right.

You're definitely right about two wrongs don't make it right, but I highly doubt that T-Mobile will buckle down that much on phones getting replaced especially since they know that the G2x has ton of software issues. The best thing T-Mobile and LG can do is to just make it right. It wasn't for the devs on XDA then we'd be ass'd out.

All Tmobile does is looks at the sticker under the battery needed for a swap for a refurb. They all get thrown in a bunch and sent back to LG.
As long as it is visibly not RED, you'll be fine.
Sad part is one of us will probably end up with it, lol.
I've recently purchased an HTC Sensation 4g and noticed that I have a hard time feeling the vibration when it is on vibrate. Most of the time, I don't even notice it at all especially if I'm walking with the phone in my pocket. I have my phone on vibrate often when going to classes and such and I find myself missing many texts and calls. Does anyone else have a problem with this? If so, any suggestions to make the vibrations more noticeable? I'm currently running a Sensation 4g on T-Mobile on stock Android version 2.3.4.
got this problem 2 im on CM7 latest also had it on ARHD
man mine goes crazy.. sitting in a quiet lecture room the lecturer hears it vibrate lol
somewhat weak here also. any suggestions? i've def. noticed the home buttons vibrate a lot weaker than that of inspire.

Yea, and I still have it. Your point???? Sorry if I recognize the advantages of both OS's, the iPhone 4 is an amazing device! My bad.
I just thought this was worth sharing.
I own an MT4G. In my year of having it I have gone through 6 replacements.
None with the SO Type 2 Panel.
Tonight (actually 10 minutes ago) I just got back from buying my wife an MT4G.
It has a cracked digitizer but otherwise works just fine.
The touch screen is still responsive in every corner and every side.
Even where it's cracked. I got this phone for 30 bucks. 30....
My wife now has a MT4G with a superior screen. SO Type 2.
FML!
P.S. She won't switch with me even though she doesn't see the difference.
She just knows that I want it, she has it, I don't have it and that's the way she likes it.

All you gotta do is turn off the phone (make sure fastboot is off)
then boot in to bootloader.
Hold volume down and press the power button. Hold it until you see the bootloader screen.
Go down to system info and look for something along the lines of SH-C2 or SO-C2.
SO is superior, SH is not.
Good luck.

Saturation? Color? Contrast?
30 bucks... can it be any cheaper?
The screen is just seriously washed out in comparison. I don't want to use any terms incorrectly, so im just gonna keep it at that.

I went through several bad screens before getting a good one, and wife still has the bad one. I was checking out my friend's Sensation and immediately noticed that he has the bad screen. Apparently HTC is still shipping both screens even on their latest models. Will definitely be cautious if I go with another HTC phone after this.
I'm expecting my 2nd MT to arrive tomorrow.
If I haven't seen the bad screen, would I even know something is off? Like if my first phone had a bad screen and the new one does to, would I even guess that there's a problem?
I mean do you have to see a good and bad one side by side to know the difference?
Or is it like watching HDTV for years then trying to watch a show on an old 1920's black and white?
