I must say, I still love this phone!

I've had this phone since it came out in November and usually me being the tech whore that I am would get bored really quick and lust for the next big thing. As of now, I'm still loving this phone. I've rooted, on CM7, configured my screens the way I like it and sometimes I notice me touching and holding the phone just for the sake of it. Could this finally be love?? I feel like I just found a great girl and stopped going out trying to get with club chicks. lol!
Even when I go to the tech sites and checking out the new phones coming out in Barcelona, I'm like meh, I got a good "girl" at home, I'm not lusting after them. Damn, I must be getting old! hahahaha!

Yeah I said the same thing. Why did sense have so many features from espresso with the sliding bars and such only phone I even consider was the desire s cause it reminded me of the nexus one.

i share the same love as u guys. it's simple, the device meets our needs for an internet phone, and more, once rooted. how can u not fall in love with it? if u get a fully functional one, i mean.

I love this phone too! No other phone can compare yet. I'm like you, I always go for the newest toy but I've been holding on. However, the Optimus 2x might win me over.

Normally I am looking for a new phone by now (always like the latest tech) but not so much with this phone. It might take the next mytouch to get me away from my current one. I've said this many times, this phone just works.

Same here, I've changed phones a lot recently, jumping on the newest one out. At this point though, I'm acknowledging more that this phone can do pretty much everything the newest ones out can do.
About dual cores, I say "Eh.." Higher megapixel camera? Eh.. NFC? That won't be useful until maybe late this year.
Until something groundbreaking comes out that this phone can't do or do well, I'm sticking with it.

Yeah, this phone is rockin'. Even a lot of the newer phones being announced are still below spec compared to this phone - even more so when rooted, devoid of bloat, and OCed. It'll probably take a year before this thing is made "obsolete." This and the HTC Thunderbolt are the most exciting phones right now IMO.

agreed. im so happy i got to own a good one in the end. it freakin flyes.

i love my phone....

I agree 100%. My wife often tells me I'm cheating on her with my phone, my on reply is, "Sorry babe it's the other way around, I'm cheating on my phone with you." Drives her nuts. I gave her my Vibrant and traded my HD7 to get the myTouch, and I'm not getting rid of "her" anytime soon...

hd7 was boring to me, only two screens and the only customization you could do is change the color and add tiles....
id say the only kewl feature was having xbox live on it and being able to play games and unlock achievements....
the OS is nice and smooth but just plain boring for me......i wanted to get rid of the phone so bad that i traded the phone for a brand new MT4G and 100 cash....

As a hd7/windows phone 7 user, i say go for it
it is a great phone and much more than 2 screens and you will love the experience with it vs android
and the social networking aspect of wp7 is definitely much better then what android has to offer(unless u get a blur device)
most ppl saying no to the hd7 are biased towards android
and if it's too big, that's why they have different variations of phones

I was holding out getting the mt4g for a long time because I knew there was something better right around the corner (isn't there aways something right around the corner hah). Once I heard the rumors of the optimus 2x coming to tmobile, u knew u was right to wait. But then tmobile ran the free mt4g promotion last week. It was too good a deal to pass up, so I jumped on it. No regrets.

After using plenty of windows mobile phones it has discouraged me to even look at another one...even the new win7 phones
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Win7 Phone OS is just plain boring to me coming from android there's no customization you can actually do maybe if we give the OS a year or so they'll be able to step it up and listen to the community. I get the feeling Win7 users are mostly coming from BBs.

Hmmmmmm, has anyone upgraded from a HD2?
I had a HD7 and it's just sad. No ability to customze anything.
So, I kept my HD2. I install ROMs as often as I change clothes. But, it is getting old.
I really want a Robot native device that performs well and has 4G capability.
The wife has a Vibrant and holly crap. That thing is the bigest pile of crap. I feel bad that I got it for her. It's slow, the XDA Support sucks since no one really seems to like it.
I been seeing the MyTouch 4g and it seems intersting.
Thoughts?

fantastic phone

Gonna have to say I've had my phone for around a month now and I'm still impressed.. I had posted my initial thoughts and comparing it to my EVO and I haven't changed my mind much. I'm loving the battery life.. compared to my EVO I can definitely last a solid day with medium use and not be worried about having a charger around. Pixel density still slightly bothers me.. but I'm accepting it. Speed wise seems as peppy or peppier than my EVO.. I had loaded many roms to improve usability and esthetics on the EVO and other than the MIUI interface I'm liking Samsungs take.. or yet mildly unfettered Android 2.2. I am excited at getting to load MIUI on this. It's great that at stock this phone is as good or better than my custom rom'd EVO in most aspects of at least how I use it. It also feels great in the hand....
I think the only phone that's gonna stand out enough that I'm gonna be tempted will be the Palm Pre 3... other than the lack of apps for WEBOS it's the best bloody mobile OS out there.... Period!

Good to see that you like it. great phone!

BTW i like the joke you made about WebOS lol...

I have to completely agree, there are a thousand threads in this section about how people hate this phone blah blah blah.
I happen to LOVE this phone, as a matter of fact, its the best android phone ive owned to date. Much better than the Evo. Im not buying any new android phones unless its super amoled or better, Ill take the super amoled on this phone over an LCD any day, even with the sub pentile matrix..
Cant wait to see the galaxy s2. I cant imagine a phone operating better than this with a better bigger display.
Not a fan of the TW launcher, but launcherpro fixes that and makes thing much more speedy anyways

And yes for a bit there in the biggining i hated this phone and talk smack about getting the G2x or the EVO 3D but then i thought about it and its not the size that matters is how you use it...
Only phone that could make me drop this phone now would be the SGS2 or the SGS2 3D( it is coming just sit back and watch )...

Well I'm glad I posted .. good to hear others liking their phones as well.. thought I might get lambasted but thought the s4g deserved some respect.

Man it's good to see this kind of thread. The "Samsung sucks, vibrant sucks, sgs4g sucks" threads are getting old. I can understand where people are coming from but that doesn't make it any less annoying. I loved my vibrant and the only reason I went to the sgs4g is because tmobile offered it to me w/full upgrade discount (because of gps issue). I sold my vibrant for $300 on ebay. I have to say, so far, I'm glad I did. I am a little worried about internal storage, but that's nothing a nice new shiny rom won't fix.
I love the speeds. At my house with the vibrant I was averaging about 3.5mbps. Now in the some spot with the sgs4g I avg 9.5, quite often I hit 12.5.
I hope the vibe of these forums stay with this type of attitude, and we don't get like the "vibe" of the other forums.
I look forward to what's to come for this phone with some voodoo! That would make this phone perfection IMHO.

right! you dont need the voodoo fix on the gs4g, it uses a different memory architecture than the original vibrant.
as far as internal memory goes, look in the dev section for a thread called rom deleted. There is a small fix that will free up about 250+ megs of memory available to the system. Its called the FOTA fix. Works like a charm, it gets rid of the files that are housed in the system for the automatic updates.

That's what I've heard, but it still seems a little laggy. Does it not to you? Like home screens and opening menus. And I know quad scores don't "mean anything", but it's getting half what my vibrant + voodoo was. It just doesn't seem as zippy as ext4.
On the FOTA fix, is that something that we may need at a later date, or is it easy to just add back.
Thanks for the help.

get rid of TW, its slow as hell compared to Launcher Pro and other 3rd party launchers.
As far as the fota fix, im pretty sure well be fine without it as once your rooted youll want to wait for roms from the devs once cwm is working anyways

I just recently switched to Go Launcher and have put the other lanchers away.

Buy Arrive, or wait for Mango?

I own an Evo, and my contract is up at the end of this month. I really want to go to WP7, but I don't (preferably) want a phone with a keyboard. I love the all touch big screens, but I wouldn't mind having a keyboard with a smaller screen.
I just want an honest opinion. Is it really worth sacrificing my Evo for a smaller screen with a keyboard, especially when I can (hopefully) get a mango device around 2012? (If Sprint even has one by then).
I have heard of the Nokia phones and the Mazaa that is supposedly coming, but you never know with Sprint's luck.

it is totally worth upgrading to the arrive right now especially since the mango beta can be found in these forums,it significantly increases the functionality and speed of this phone on the existing stock rom.

Yeah, but do you think there will be a phone similiar to the Evo (bigger screen, no keyboard)? I would hate to get it and then a few months later one comes out! Lol. I haven't gone to sprint to check out the arrive, yet. But when my upgrade is, I will keep it in mind.
Thanks for the input.

There very well could be. Hard to say whether Sprint thinks it's going to gain enough traction, especially with the iPhone supposedly coming. But I say play with the Arrive in store. The priority for me was the hardware keyboard and also the fact that I came from a feature phone.
Shrinking down in screen size probably won't feel the same for sure because you're losing so much viewable space. However, if you think the OS as a whole in how it functions is worth it to you then it might end up being a negligible complaint.
If you're really worried some new hardware might come out then just wait.

Yeah, but I don't want to wait and then be further away in a 2-year upgrade, and I think a 3.6in is still a good size.
My buddy has the Evo Shift and it seems to be a perfect size from messing with it. I had the HTC hero and that was a 3.2in all touch display lol.
I might go into Sprint. If don't like it, I have no choice but to wait. But I can't stand Android for another minute. But that is another subject lol.

Holy s*** you're right. Going into the sprint store to pick up HTC Arrive next month.

I went from the Evo to Epic to Arrive and lemme say this...
I DO miss the Evo's screen size and just the overall build of the phone. Whenever I'm browsing on the Arrive I'm always like "I wish I had a little bit more" and when I'm in the messaging app I wish I had a little bit more space.
But that's just looking at the phone. Now, interacting with the screen is so smooth its sickening. I'm talking about the screen itself, like the material. I have an iPod Touch 4G and its just...bleh. I hate using it because it picks up fingerprints way too easy so your like "i'll just dry my hands and it'll be all good" but when you do that, the screen is extra rough and its hassle. The Arrive's screen is just smooth as eggs and I dont think it picks up fingerprints..I've never noticed them and I dont use a screen protector.
Now, the material + the OS responsiveness is amazing. Once you pick the Arrive, you'll be amazed. WP7 is just too smooth. The browser will destroy your mind. Also, the keyboard is friggin' nuts. I'm on the mango beta and the thing I love is how I don't even need to touch the delete key. Let's say your typing real fast...all you have to do is tap and touch the word to correct it. Well, Swype had that on Android so it may not be a big deal to you, but the big difference now is how the WP7 takes in account you hitting the letters right above the space bar, instead of the space bar. So, "thisbis" automatically autocorrects to "this is" Add in dynamic key resizing and there's really no need for a bigger screen for a bigger keyboard.
so yeah..enough my rambling....you'll love the Arrive.

I agree with you 100%. I haven't haven't picked up the phone yet, but I've heard good things. Such as the great keyboard, and I've never heard of the autocorrect on WP7, that is amazing. I constantly have to change my sentences because the words blend together.
The OS is by far my favorite, not as much customization, but I find myself constantly changing it on Android with different ROMs. And i have tried to setcup my Android so i can have a quick glance at the screen, juat to conserve my battery. The phones are a pain in the ass. I would rather pay for quality, IMO. Being able to have a phone that lasts for 3 days is definitely a plus, not to mention improvements with mango.
I too have gone from the Epic, to the Evo, now WP7. Ive watched so many videos on YouTube, and read great reviews on the phone, I might just pick it up next month.
Thanks for your comment.

You can get a brand new arrive from eBay for around $200. I'd go that route and save your upgrade credit for the next Gen wp7 devices this fall.

So you think there will be Nokia/other devices that will be of more quality, with Mango on them in the Fall? I mine as well wait instead of going through the hassel of getting a new device that isn't up to ALL of my expectations lol.
I still don't mind the Evo, but I am in love with WP7. I just want better hardware.

I think it's a pretty safe bet that new hardware will be released with mango. However, WHEN it'll get released on sprint is a question. As of now arrive's hardware is 1.5 years old already (first Gen snapdragon) so if you can wait I think you should.

Yeah man because I am not about to get a 2-year contract out on a phone that I might not like, well as much as an all touch display. But if I don't have any options by or shortly after Christmas I'm grabbing the arrive for sure.
Offnote, does the creaky tilt for the keyboard bother you? Does it lean to far to your face to where you need to tilt the phone to see it? I'm iffy about the design lol.

Honestly dude, just go to a sprint store on the weekend and play with it for a good 30 minutes. Granted the display model won't have mango, but for the basics it'll give you an idea of what to expect. I mean we can hype you up all day long, but it'll still come down to how you subjectively feel about it when its in your hands and visualize how it'll fit your needs.

+1, I picked up a Arrive for $220 without any contract. That's the best route IMO.

Yeah, Fall is right around the corner though. I mine as well save my POS until I see something that I truly want, not because it is my only option.
Sprint and Verizon got screwed (CDMA is always last), but this new round of WP7 devices should offer more to these carriers, if they were smart. There are 9-? handsets for ATT and T-Mobile (GSM), The only people left are CDMA.
I hope I'm not wrong. :X

yet another I LOVE MY G2X THREAD

Ok, so, let me start by saying, you must have a non defective unit for this lol... To love it.. I've had both defective and non defective and its night and day..
I love my g2x (had one since release give our take a few Weeks for the crapsation). This phone is rock solid. I love the speaker on the bottom under the awesome grill. The stand alone hdmi port is great for still needing to charge while using it. The iPs display at 4 inches is the perfect size, it has a amoled like color with sharpness in texts amoled doesn't give... I could go on and on, but I just wanted to state that i'm sticking this beast until I get my hands on a quad core. Nothing else is a upgrade...
Did mention the awesome games? Try sprinkle on this.. Smooth as a hit of Sativa..
no haters....

I love my g2x, ordered it minutes after it was available online. It works great never had any issues with it.
Best Phone ever!!

I like my G2x as well (love is way too strong a word here) but I would like it even more if the FFC were of any use, if the A2DP worked, and if the promise of vanilla Android leading quick updates had been kept.
So yea, I'm looking forward to something better.

So yea, I'm looking forward to something better.

Bad dog no bone..lol yes I even make love to my g2x..

Haha What up smash, hey that's aight I can get used to these kind of threads u know, not all these stupid "should I get a sensation" threads, anyways I had mine since launch and I love it man it is pure beast, I appreciate my phone LOL let me tell u why, cuz I was using my sisters mytouch 3g and that thing is slow as balls, g2x smokes most phones today IMO all

Yes, my phone is More Gangsta than yours...
Yes, my phone is a beast. Just before meetings start, I used to whip out my n900 playing angry birds and everyone else would eventually look for it on their iPhones, They moved to android based phones...THEN While everyone whips out their verizon driod X2, their ATT android phones and show off angry birds...whip out my phone and I show off Backbreaker...and sit it on the table and the meetings start...
Everytime I whip out a phone, amazement sets in... 'What kind of phone is that, it's so thin, sounds good, is that an HDMI port at the top, that looks like a 'droid' <-- c'mon folks is my normal response...Droid's were on Star Wars, android devices are phones and tablets maybe even a microwave or refrigerator. So STOP CALLING THESE ANDROID phones 'Droids'...
I sit it down, meeting stops, The glare from the side in shear amazement, because they can read my text messages from 4 feet away...
I say the same thing...My phone is awesome. Basic android Friggin great!

Welcome to the club. I also enjoy the hell out of my G2x!

Ok, so, let me start by saying, you must have a non defective unit for this lol... To love it.. I've had both defective and non defective and its night and day..
I love my g2x (had one since release give our take a few Weeks for the crapsation). This phone is rock solid. I love the speaker on the bottom under the awesome grill. The stand alone hdmi port is great for still needing to charge while using it. The iPs display at 4 inches is the perfect size, it has a amoled like color with sharpness in texts amoled doesn't give... I could go on and on, but I just wanted to state that i'm sticking this beast until I get my hands on a quad core. Nothing else is a upgrade...
no haters....

Right there with ya. I've been on board with the G2X since early on. Got mine back at the end of April. Definitely love it, as much as one can love a phone. Lol
Thanks for this thread smashpunks. I know some people have legitimate issues with their phones. But it's nice to hear the other side of things too.

Love my g2x to death too just rooted and flashed to bionic rc1

After Gingerbread all is well for me!

Love mine even though it has screen bleeding. Just rooted and flashed Cm7.

the g2x is fine but i was watching the stock market and saw a lot of double purchases g2x stock and ky. so that is a little worrisome. im not buying any used g2x's.

Masters of redundancy here. How many times do people feel entitled to review a device? Or is this a cheap attempt to keep things alive in the G2x forum by prevoking argumentation since that is all these sort of threads ever amount to? From someone that makes it quite clear they are a frequent visitor of the g2x forums making yet another one of these threads instead of contributing to the plethora of similar ones screams "I want attention."
And since some are going to cry 'troll,' I'll say my piece: this phone is powerful but needs a "Some assembly required" sticker on the box. Other than that I stuck with this device thru my woes for a reason & I see nothing comparable to it despite its flaws.

Take a look at the popular game downloads, read a few messages, and see how many don't run correctly on the GSII and sensation. I am sure its a wonderful phone and whatnot, but software does not seem to work with great compatibility. Beyond running Tegra games, the Tegra runs all games with better compatibility.
See anyone posting that there favorite games don't work?
G2x is fastest on gaming benchmarks still.

Even i am loving my T-Mobile G2X so much.
In-spite of being purchased an used one off ebay, my phone didn't have any issues.
No reboots, no screen bleeding etc.
Very happy.
Just point me to a place where game discussions are happening around this mobile phone.

Just got my replacement. Haven't had one reboot yet. Battery is about 20 hours on stock gb . Lovin it.

I need some help here.

Well, I bought the HTC 7 Surround 2-3 weeks ago and I first had one problem at the time. Previously, the phone never used to boot past the white HTC boot screen. After a few huff-n-puffs and taking the phone to a friend, was that problem fixed. Now I have a problem with two things. Firstly, by playing games on the Surround, the phone heats up, just like it used to do on my HTC Sensation 4G. The second problem is that the phone keeps on randomly freezing for no apparent reason. Also, the speakers weren't all that up to the mark as the descriptions were describing them to be, which was the main reason for me buying the HTC 7 Surround in the first place. Other than that, it's a pretty good phone and even though it was my first time using a W7 phone, I found the interface really good and I want to use them to the full extent that I can. I found W7 much more a better experience than the Android. Though, I do not dislike Android developments either.
I might have spare cash to spend on a phone, after selling some junk I had been meaning to get rid of, in a month or so. Which one of these W7 phones should I get?:
HTC HD7
HTC Titan
Dell Venue
Samsung Focus
Oh and if there is an android that someone likes, I might go in that direction as well as long as it's a phone looking at and giving a wow on. Thanks for all the help and long live XDA Developers!

Wow, I thought at least one person would have thought of replying to this.

First, take your phone back for the manufacture warranty, I highly suspect that is hardware problems.

That highly depends on your taste. Big screen, medium screen. I prefer Trophy over HD7. The screen is too big. 3.7" is enough here. So no HD7 and Titan. Maybe, HD7.
Dell Venue I wouldnt even try. The hardware is ugly and, well, Dell is not meant to be phones.
Focus is pretty nice, I think. But Titan has the best hardware.
Your choice.

If you like big screens, the Titan is the way to go at the moment at least

Wait a week and see what Nokia world says and if any of those phones are going to be released in the US (or if you'd be able to import one over from Europe).

Samsung Focus S will be out soon. It will doubtlessly be the best WP7 device on the market.

Hmm.. that seems like a good idea. I figured it as much but I really wanted to see if it is was something else that was creating the fuss on the phone.

Well, I am more of a big screen guy, but the Trophy is looking kind of interesting to me. I never noticed it yet. Yeah, I heard good things about Focus as well. I might just end up with HD7 or Titan. I will have to think this over. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the comment. I agree on this. Big screen = Titan. I just have to see if I really want the Titan or I want something smaller. I get real messed up in the last moment of buying a phone that I buy something that I never planned on buying. This time, I have ample time for thinking it over.

I might be waiting a month to get cash in hand to buy whatever phone that I finally decide on buying. I heard of the new Nokia 800 phone that is going to be released. I hear it's really good. I have yet to check it out. I have a cousin that lives in the UK so it's not a big issue importing the phone from there. Thanks for the post.

Yes, I heard of it from a few friends that are eager for it as well. A few are either going for the Mozart, Focus or Titan. I have a friend with an iPhone 4G who is not at all happy with the phone constantly dropping its signals and losing connections to calls because of it. Thanks for the post. I will take a look at the Focus again.

I have the same phone.
The phone does heat up. But i don't have any of the other problems. Did you press the button on the speaker? It makes the sound much better.
I don't have any freezing or booting problems.
Did you update to 7.5
