2 questions.. - Captivate General

hello guys i havnt posted in longtime. my 1st question is can you use third party earbuds or headphones that have mic on it? i know i cant on my xperia x10. 2nd question i can get the captivate for free from my provider is it worth switching from x10 to captivate? lol im really bored of the x10. please share your thoughts. thanks

No idea on the first question but yes, absolutely yes on the second. I almost cried when I had to use briefly the x10 of my girlfriend's mother.
Granted she had an obnoxious christmas live wallpaper and wasn't tweaked at all, but my Cappy is sooo much better.

As to the first question, yes indeed. If you want to be able to make and answer phone calls while listening to music or watching videos, that is the only way to do it.

Yes yes yes yes on the cappy... did i say yes

Better yet, the HTC Desire.
And I wouldn't call Android the "dark side". Android's future looks pretty bright
(and no matter what anyone tries to make you believe, the iPhone is a joke, don't waste your money on that - if you want something more "iphoneish" than the HD2, but much much better than an actual iPhone, get the Desire/Nexus One)
Your keyboard problem could be ROM related. What ROM version are you running? Make sure you have at least the official 1.66 ROM.

Switched to Sensation _ Thank You

Hey guys, I know that this is the millionth post about this but I gave in and switched to the Sensation.
I could not handle the reboots and the fact the TMobile and LG left me in Limbo for so long about what they were going to do.
I just wanted to thank all the Developers that made the phone usable and all the people who helped me out when I had questions. The G2X is truly a great phone and I hope that it comes back truly stronger with the Gingerbread update. Again. Thank you.

Cool, thanks for the update. I had no idea you were switching. I'm truly heartbroken by this sudden turn of events

Well, I own both...and unless the news out of LG is totally bad..I won't be switching. It's slower and sexier and has the same problems every other phone has...
Both are good phones...I doubt the lack or reboots was the final decider. Its a Nexus style body that is fast and cool, and new, and it fit nicely in your hand.
If you like it, you like it. If not, you don't. Next !!!!
I did a test... I handed my girlfriend the Sensation...she goes...wow....this is nice. then I handed her the G2x. She goes...wow....this is nice. I see your problem now. All of that without once touching anything on the phone....only holding it.
Would you own a phone that didn't feel good in your hand? I owned an iPhone...bought it because it was cool. I gave it away to my son because he wanted it. The phone felt weird so I wasn't overwhelmed by it. Looked at the iphone 4 at VZW last week. It still felt weird. Didn't buy it.
So, bottom line....this is NOT about quality, this is about feeling good !!! hahahahah where's that guy with the bridge !!!

WHICH IS IT??? I never call anyone a deliberate troll, the term is most often only used on people who others don't agree with, vs the true meanings.
But WTF you just posted this???? From love to return the phone in just minutes?? An earnest WTF???????
jeffreynew23 said:
Come on Tom. I am happy with my G2X but I am sure that the Sensation will not be pulled from stores for a month without any word from HTC and T-mobile . I'm also sure that folks that have them don't have to go through 3 of them to get a working one or flash a custom rom to keep it from rebooting. AGAIN . I love my G2X but at least the sensation shipped with gingerbread .

Sensation looks like a very nice phone, enjoy it, if I would ever look for a replacement right now if the g2x were to be out, I'd go withj the sensation.
Enjoy!

Whoa whoa so I am being accused of being a troll. I find it funny that you decide to include those 2 posts and not the other ones that I have posted in the G2X forum. That's hilarious. I was able to get my hands on a sensation and went with it. I still have a G2X but right now I am rolling with the Sensation. I could care less what phone you use. I only posted this to thank developers and the people who helped me with my questions that I had. I am sure that you can find those and post the TOM. GTFOH

I thought your original post was very thoughtful and took it the way you meant it. Using the "S" word seems to set some people off unless its followed by POS, horrible, slow, buggy, or inferior.

Yea, using the "S" word here is a no no. It's kind of funny because over in the Sensation forum, you don't see anyone talking **** about the G2X and trying to justify why the Sensation is the better device.
Usually when you need to start justifying something......well....you figure it out!
I have both devices and they are both great in my opinion. The best anology I can make is by comparing them to cars. The g2x is a lamborghini, the sensation is a porsche.
The g2x is faster and more exotic, but difficult to live with on a daily basis due to instability and "high" maintenance.
The sensation is plenty quick, just not as quick, but the great trade-off is that it is reliable and predictable.

Perfect analogy
Sent from my super snappy G2x
I want to jump in here a sec, i have a G2X, im on my second one. First one was rebooting and driving me crazy, Amazon as always is awesome. Got my replacement with no screen bleed but it randomly reboots also, does it less but it still does. Called them up and got them to send me a Sensation. I've tested it before and saw some very minor lag, but the phone is a beaut. Come Monday i will have them both in hand and have 30 days to decide. I love the G2X but my wife who has a Nexus one and my son who has a Nexus S both tell me the same thing why keep a phone if you cant have it reliably answer a call or make a call. I'm tired of my wife and son telling me there phones are so stable. I know already, both of them where mine lol. Just last night we where watching a movie on the tv and the G2X was sitting there on the table and it just reboot again and my wife just laughed. Im so lucky to be able to just switch to whatever phone i want and not worry about things like reboots. LG you have 30 days to fix, HTC you have 30 days to unlock or i hear Smasung has a SGS2 i can import.

uhhh, I did not pick either of the posts, one is this threads OP and the other is what you wrote specifically to me. BS has a certain odor.
So you write to me telling me you like and love your G2x, comment on people who have Sensations, clearly showing you are not part of that group.
THEN only 6 hours later, you create this thread as a swan song that you are ditching the G2x and went to the Sensation.
From loving the phone to dumping the phone in 6 hours flat. I only noticed the smell because you posted by name to me, and you created this thread 6 hours later. So I thought I would ask you why you bought a 600 dollar phone replace a phone you had loved just 6 hours earlier.
Sorry to have a sense of smell, thought you might want to explain/bluff more....no need as yes they are both great phones, both with about the same level of problems, with the biggest difference being most of the G2x will be resolved and speeded up by 2.3 that the Sensation already runs that.
The thread you posted to me was on irony, your thread here and that are very ironic...I have both a nose and a sense of irony.

Why can't he love his G2X but use another phone?
I love my G2X but I love my Sensation more. Am I a troll as well because I don't use the G2X anymore as my daily driver?

any MGS fans/players here?

kind of a long shot maybe but thought I'd ask anyway...
I'm currently playing Metal Gear Solid through FPse on my Sensation.
I'm on the part where you face Psycho Mantis.
well, long story short, you are suppose to switch to port 2 of the controller so he can't read your moves.
problem is, there is no port 2 on FPse or the a way to trick it through the Sensation that I know of.
anyway, anyone know of a solution to this?
yeah, kind of a long shot but thought I'd ask.
Thanks.
been there, done that ;P
there is no way to do it with fpse, but you could with psxdroid...
long story short, you gotta beat him the old fashoned way
(tough, but satisfying)
damn it... was afraid that was the case... lol.
guess it's going to be a loooooooonnnnnnngggggg tedious battle.
thanks for the info.
hahaha the ONLY time i ever fought him w/o switching the port was the very first time i played it in '99
and yes, it was HELLA difficult to beat him using the OSK...just remember to keep savestating, and it will go A LOT easier
I need to get back on my MGS. I hear so many good things picked up the box set of 1,2,3 and beat 1 but never had time to beat two.
It worth it to play thru the series or should i just skip too 4?
Damn, I remember being stuck on that battle back on my gray PlayStation 1.

[Q] Call Charm Indicator?

This may be an odd question but I was wondering if the charm that comes with the new Rhyme could be used on the G2x to let me know that incoming calls or texts are coming in? I really like that feature & wanted to purchase one. I've seen a few on some sites but I don't want to buy it & it won't work with my phone since its not an HTC product. TIA!
I was thinking this too! Although I'd never actually get the charm... It was just a thought. haha

I don't think it will. I believe there's settings for the charm under the menu in the Rhyme. So I would assume with out those, the charm wouldn't work.
But I'm not 100% sure.
Lol @ FatalityBoyZahy! There is nothing wrong with a man using one as long as its not that purple one. I've seen one that was white online when I did a google search.
@ mackster248 Thats a bummer that it may be tied into the system...I really like that idea since my phone lives in my purse while I'm out.
Thanks for the responses guys Back to waiting for ICS to drop!
I had another question but I don't want to clutter the forums with yet another thread lol. Can you guys point me in the direction where I can find a fishbone case for the G2x? I've google searched and found nothing. TIA!
I'd love to know if it's possible to get the charm to work on a stock HTC One S.
thanks!
