I MISS MY G2X :( Im trying to come back

I had good experience with my G2x until it rebooted once a day after about a month, I then game it up for the sensation and loved it.
Until I realized I cant foking get wifi in landscape. Ive had 3 already and all have the issue. The 2 different type of screens suck, it has a screen issue, etc.
Basically im finding out that all phones have issues, it just depends on the issues your willing to deal with. ME, Id personally rather see a lil bleed and have a reboot once a day then have wifi Crap and Unreliable. In the next room it dies covering it.
DAAAAAAMN. are the G2xs good yet? Have they been in stock again? Im thinking about exchanging the sensation 3 more times online and seeing if they can give me back a new g2x, because I know that the sensations I recieve will still have this issue.
Im also wondering if those that dont just have a good router N, and I got G, so maybe thats why theres is ok and mine dies completely.
ITS TRUE, THE GRASS ISNT ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE. THAT AND NO DAMN ROOOOOOOOOOOOOT. I DIDNT THINK HTC WOULD DRAG THIS LONG. BUT I THINK THIS PHONE IS WIFI DEFECTED AND IS WORSE THAN ANYTHING THE G2X HAS.

You will be more than welcome bro

At this point, I am very happy I did not make the jump to the Sensation. You would think finding a cheap, used G2x would not be that hard with all the goodbye G2x threads.

Sensation definitely has more issues than G2x which are hardware and not software.

Hmm good point. Maybe ill sell my sensation, buy a g2x.
Really guys, really. The wifi issue is huge. I didnt have the death grip with data, just wifi. Others dont but I think its cause they have nice new N routers or something. But where my sensation dies just by covering, I could sit on my G2x and it would never lose signal all the way down.
THE G2x to me is starting to look like a better device.

Selling my G2X and keeping my problem free Sensation. My G2X doesn't have a scratch on it, has never rebooted, has a decent battery (not quite as good as my Sensation) and only has minor screen bleed but in my opinion doesn't touch the color or clarity of my Sensation.
Make me a offer I can't refuse.

My son has a pretty funny thing going on with his...funny to me...not him.
He has a pretty cool case for the Sensation...works great, very minimal. Does not have any Death grip issues...case seems solve this.
He has WiFi Case grip issues In order to get WiFi in his bedroom, he has to remove the case.
So, go to work, put on the case, no problems. Come home from work, remove the case...no problems.

Theres a ground issue.
and a wacky screen issue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n_LMhC8Y68 thats my first phones issues that I took back.
id rather have a g2x I think. The sensation IMO is better, but the issues are more sever.

lol I never had a issue with reception, just the wifi. I actually put a piece of PT in between my case and phone and it fixed it..... lol Ill post a video later on it cause I want people to see it.
lol

Wow
I hit up Youtube and there are tons of Sensation issue videos. Doubt any of those are repairable via software.
G2x + CM7 = heaven. This phone is blazing fast.

What kind of screen issues are you having with the Sensation? I might be interested in trading for my G2X straight up. Mine is relatively problem free. One time I had an issue with my GPS not getting a fix but a reboot fixed the problem. I've never had a single reboot and there is minimal screen bleed.

Welcome back
Great to have you back to the G2x side of the house. I just got into Droid after trading my iPhone4 on Craigslist for the G2x and the dude threw in 150 cash. Definately check CL.

Have you thought about joining the dark force? If you sold the Sensation the difference between it and the SGS2 would be about $150. Pretty much unlimited everything on AT&T is about $82 (plus tax) a month. If you're stuck with an ETF than I'm guessing it would be too pricey to switch. Just something else to ponder.

I am glad I got a less trouble unit and keeping it. I was reluctant to get Sensation after I tested it.
It seems that HTC phones have wifi reception problem from my touch pro 2, nexus one, and to mytouch 4. They have hard time to get signal from upstairs.

this thread has convinced me to pull my g2x off of clist. Kudos sir.. i shall be patient for either cynogen to get a2dp or for the fix/update from LG sometime before i die.
does anyone have an opinion on how the galaxy s stacks up to the g2x? I was giving that some SERIOUS thought.

[Q] did anyone get tmobile to let them swap g2x for sensation?

if so, what did you say. i just got off the phone with corporate and all she could do was waive the 20 dollar exchange fee and tmobile is now sending me my 4th g2x.
when this new g2x is buggy like i'm sure it will be, what should i say so that customer care will send me a sensation instead. After going on a 14 day roadtrip where my g2x's gps refused to work i can't stand having to deal with this phone anymore.
thanks in advance

I did, and I got to keep my G2X. Story is to long but you can find my thread by looking through my previous posts.

Might be worth a read.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Trust me. Going through three sensations I realized the g2x issues aren't that bad especially on cm7... Read my previous posts also as JW. Mines a completely different experience ...

If you have returned it 3 times within 90 days on the warranty you can just ask them to exchange it for you. I think they call it their "multiple warranty exchange program" or something like that.

Unlike Smashpunks, the grass was greener enough to make the Sensation my daily driver. My G2X didn't have any problems by the way. I just like the bigger display, crisper looking text, better camera and the phone feels better in my hand.

Again OP. This gentleman has proven his sensation to be worthy and have non of the wifi issues I had. So moral of the story is. The grass isn't always greener on the other side, always, but you may find that green patch like JW did.. lol
I love my g2x. I would have loved the sensation also without the wifi and screen issue after a week. So if the both were flawless which would I pick? Honestly if I had no issues on either. I think I'd still go g2x. Something about the tegra chip that foking rocks. Also that extra dead space at the bottom of the g2x by the capacitive buttons that everyone hates, well, I love it.... this phone looks sweet. Sensation was a great phone. Just 3 bad in a row gave be bad joojoo.
Oh jw is right. The camera on the sensation destroys the g2x, not only in quality but features. Like the video camera can refocus while touching the screen, genius ..

A: Last I talked to customer care they did say something along the lines of "well, what phone would you want instead?" when I said, "I have little confidence that another G2x will be any better." But I never followed up on that and just got another G2x on the way. It's my first replacement, and now my phone is working fine again after the backlight got stuck on dim and then refused to boot.) So I may keep the original since the bleed is minimal and I've never gotten an auto reboot. I have had to manually reboot a lot to cure failing wifi and other such issues.
B: The annoying, but effective GPS cure for me was to get "GPS Test" from the market, it's free. After I turn on the GPS I open GPS Test and I watch as it gets a lock in seconds. If I go right to Google Maps or Navigon after turning on the GPS it sometime takes a long time or never locks. Stupid extra step to get around some lame bug someone should be fired for letting ship with the phone, but it's working for me. WMMV. Good luck.

They replaced mine with a Sensation. I refused to leave the store without a fully working product or my money. I literally pulled a chair up to the manager an asked him to fix it or give me something that works.
I certainly liked the G2x a great deal but the Sensation is really reliable and the battery life is fantastic. I really mean that. I would happily use a G2x again...but not until I can rely on it.

G2X completely off of TM's website? It all makes sense now...

Well it's obvious...despite the "normal" issues that any phones may experience (G2X blown out of proportion IMO with just a bunch of whiners),...that all led most to believe that it was temporary out of stock on TM's website due to the issues.....
It's very apparent it was taken off due to the Sensations release....had the G2X still have been on TM's site, it would have killed the sales of the Sensation.
Now with the new MyTouch4G Slide, obviously it would be wise, marketing wise, to take the G2X off completely to save the sales OR assist the sales (either way you look at it) of the Sensation and MT4G Slide...
Either way...I still own a G2X and will be getting the MT4G Slide for giggles just to have....returned to Sensation today...was a piece of crap....
G2X has realistically been the fastest phone I've ever owned...heck my SGS4G was faster than the Sensation...
Not to bash the Sensation, but soon it'll be just a dust in the wind as all the new devices come out soon....hint hint....Samsung Galaxy S 2 for TM? ANyone?

Uhh, no?

Every phone you ever buy from here on out will be dust in the wind. Accept it.

Is this post your opinion or do you have some super secret information from a T-mobile executive? I have both of the phones mentioned and I can assure you, the Sensation is no slouch once you stop Sense from running and use LP or ADW. It then becomes instant just like my G2X. Even running the phone stock with Sense, my Sensation always loaded apps faster (especially Google Maps) than my G2X. It also has a smoother browser than my G2X and plays the only game I play (Homerun Battle 3D) at a higher framerate.
By the way, I can do a side by side video if you think I'm lying. I never say anything I can't back up.
Lastly, the G2X would have never outseld the Sensation or MyTouch 4g Slide. Not because its inferior but because the mainstream buyer is going to want all the stupid eye candy on Sense. Also, the mainstream T-mobile customers will choose HTC over LG any day of the week. Its what they know.

Lmao, I was in a very similar situation a few days ago. It took all my strength to stop myself from tossing it out onto the interstate. I'm trying to make it until the Nexus 3 is released but it's very likely that ill smash this phone to bits long before it arrives.

using G2x to show a boarding pass
Definitely had many reasons to throw this phone out of the window but my worst experience was while standing in a airport security line and naively thinking that I would show my boarding pass to the security agent on my G2x. Of course just as I step up to the agent, the phone freezes and then resets leaving me to stand in the line for another 5 minutes while I pulled out the battery and reset the device. The entire time the agent is looking at me and telling me that I need to get back to the end of the line if the phone is not up in next 2 minutes
I hate this phone with a passion...

Are you on the HTC payroll?
I get it. It is a nice phone if you happen to be lucky and get a good one. Very similar to the G2x situation.
Which screen does your have? I am still interested in the Sensation. I miss the larger screen on my HD2. I just could not pull the trigger based on the poor quality of the demo in my local store. I would love to see a comparison video and pics between the two phones.

Nope, not on anyone's payroll. In fact, if you take a look at my posts from the past two days in the Sensation forums, I was pissing everyone off stating that I think the GSII is the better device. I am fortunate enough to buy any phone I want, whenever I want so I am NEVER biased towards one particular device. Some people will defend the device there stuck with to no end and while I understand it, I hate it. I just say what I think the better device is along with giving my reasons. In my humble opinion, someone who is not tied to a device for a year or two usually ends up being less biased than the person who is and is trying there damndest to justify there purchase. There is no doubt about it, Sense blows and HTC did a horrible job with optimizing it. Once you load ADW on it, the UI feels like a dual core device. Everything else like the browser, market, apps and maps already felt like a dual core device. For instance, the app pictures load faster on the Sensation than they do on the G2X when scrolling through the market. You also don't get that stutter when doing so. Contact pictures also appear instantely unlike the G2X where it takes them a couple seconds to load as your scrolling through the list. Google maps also load instantely when s rolling through a map where as the streets appear blurry before loading on the G2X. It really is a nice phone once you pull Sense off of it but my absolute biggest reason behing choosing it to be my daily driver er is the display. Text is so much clearer and I find my self scrolling a lot less through websites due to the resolution and size. I do think the contrast is better on the G2X but clearer text is more important than darker blacks. I care about darker blacks on my 4 LED TV's in my house, not my 4inch phone.
Let me know what you want to see in the video and ill add it in for you.

Amen Brother....
I too am not locked to a single phone or carrier. So being biased is not in the equation. I too have both the Sensation and the G2x. My 'unbiased' opinion leans towards the G2x. I think loading a new launcher on the Sensation is equiv to rooting and flashing CM7 on the G2x. If I have to make a radical change in my device to like the device, time to move on. I have to like the device before I'll even consider making changes to it. yeah i know, strange.

I'm not in a contract but my opinion about how I buy phones isn't "what kind of phone it IS" but "What kind of phone it can BECOME".
I like getting a phone and flashing custom roms to gain extra special abilities and functions.
Coming from the Nexus One running CM7, the G2x with CM7 feels right at home.
GPS has been worked on tremendously and is finally reliable. The phone never locks up and simply just works as it should. I trust CM7 to build quality roms for a phone over any manufacture.
Stock roms, to me, are something to "just use" until something better comes along. Everything always works better hacked. The people that fight that urge simply blows my mind. Peace of mind is out there if you want it.
And as far as the higher resolution of the Sensation, I just run the G2x at 190 density to gain the same screen real-estate. Supposedly the G2x/O2x were designed to function properly at higher resolutions (*rumor).

Eh, its not strange, its just what you do. Myself on the other hand, ADW goes on every phone I purchase almost immediately due to the amount of customization and smoothness. Sense has to much eye candy and vanilla is just too, well vanilla. To each their own...

Well the potential for the Sensation once it becomes unlocked is going to be pretty good. You know it will get CM and the Adreno 220 is capable of more power than most other GPU's. It just has some ****ty drivers right now and games aren't yet optimized for it. I also have my G2X density at 190 but it still doesn't make the text as clear as on my Sensation. I've said it before but after looking at my Sensations display for a couple of days, my G2X display looks blurry.
Oh....you asked earlier. I have the Sharp display and just like the G2X, I had to return 3 of them to get a nice display.

Well I can tell you my Sensation remains at full bars of WiFi all throught my house and outside of my house. Look back through my posts and you will see a video I made, showing the power of the Sensations WiFi. I also hold it in landscape, showing there is no death grip issue with mine. Yes I was 2 floors away from my router when shooting this video and it was proved in the video. Every manufacture makes buggy devices. You can't expect to get a perfect device anymore in today's market. My past 5 phones had to be returned multiple times a piece just to get a device with none or minimal bugs.
On the other side of the table. My wife had the G2X as well. She then saw my Sensation and wanted it so I sold her G2X and bought her a Sensation. She couldn't be happier and hasn't reported any problems to me. Trust me, she knows what bugs are and she will tell me about them.

Uhhh for the longest time it was indeed OFF OF TM's site. I just checked yesterday and it wasn't on there at all. Now it's back on, therefore, it's ironic that I happen to be at TM Corporate store yesterday talking with a guy from Corporate that happened to be there and he did specifically mentioned that, (paraphrasing) "regarding the G2X, there are many reason for why it was pulled off before the launch of the sensation. It wasn't due to any hardware related issues, more software actually. The G2X was actually the fastest selling phone nationwide, which supply and demand may have been a contributing factor for it being pulled for a while. He did mention the improvements on the screen for the newer batches of the G2X, which is another reason adding to the why's...."
It was a good 10min convo...all paraphrasing of course, but at any rate, it doesn't take too much brain power to realize the reasoning(s) and in the G2X's case, IMO it's all pretty practical rather than theory.

Who is Thinking of Jumping Ship to the SGS2?

Now that it is official I am not sure if it is the device that is getting me excited or all the hype around it. I really like the idea of the larger screen and super thin body. Wish it was qhd though. I guess with every good thing comes a bad thing......
Thinking the only way to get it without spending money is to add a line, cancel my 3D's line and sell the 3D on Craigs list. That should cover the both costs.......Anyone know what Sprint's max cancelation charge is?
Like I said, just thinking about it now and would like to hear what others are planning on doing. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a flame war......Just looking to see if people jumping ship have a better way to get there then what I was thinking of doing......

The SGS II will only be a good phone because of the Dev support. Samsung has a hard time updating the software for some reason. Gingerbread hasn't even been rolled out to the original Epic for god's sake.

Hopefully if we don't get trolls and people give there honest opinions this thread can stay open because I really want to see what people have to say and what they will be doing now that the device is official.
I have been with HTC for the past 5 years but if something better comes along I am not afraid to go....
Obviously no one has played with it yet but I want to know people's thoughts just based on the announcement and if they are regretting the 3D purchase....

Im all in, day one.

The thread can stay open if the trolling idiots stay quiet

The epics an exception. They can't seem to get the keyboard and radio figured out. This is the reason all sgs2s will be the sane and not have a keyboard lol. You also have to remember that update fiasco had more to do with carriers than Samsung themselves. The sgs had their updates right on time. I'm also curious about the op question. I've always wondered what would happen to your handset if cancelled within the first 6 months.

MOD EDIT: Goodbye

Well i guess it depends on you, I like a thinner device and i know it will have a better camera but I hatethe cheap feel of Samsung devices and.the updates , gingerbread is over nine months old and nothing official for the epic, so what would make me think they will get it on time on the second.device, same thing goes with the photon MOTO devices rake forever to update, that's why I stick with the EVO 3d but all 3 phones are great phones
MGS on my iPad

Well, google didn't have much luck with the nexus s at first either Hence their nickname the Nexus B lol
I won't lie the, gs2 is a beast of a phone. I also think the E3D has been underutilized so far though, this phone has a lot more potential than it gets credit for. Plus the Evo was updated to gingerbread around the same time the epic was getting froyo, it would have came before but HTC waited for gingerbreak to be patched before pushing the update.

I hate to admit it as I have been a die-hard HTC fan, but, as far as my experience is concerned (on 3rd E3D) I think they really botched this flagship. YMMV, of course.
So long as the SGS2 has a radio that is as good (read: no weaker than) the E3D I'll be happy. The Radio on the NS4G was pitifully weak, the E3D is no better...even after a few. I can live with this. The signal strength indicator can't be trusted on it's own, go by actual measurements and most importantly missed/dropped calls and roaming....and I miss and drop and roam more than ever. It sucks. I do love this phone. I will greatly miss the qHD.
I became fine with the uber-weak radio, but, the final straw is the increasingly bad power-on fiasco. Sometimes it does, some times it doesn't. Some times it will be plugged in with a green light locked up tight (requiring a battery pull and SD card pull) *AND* have a dead battery on top of it. It's at the point where I have a backup alarm set up. Yeah yeah yeah, if I need an alarm clock USE an alarm clock...well, no other phone ever gave me any issues, so, I'm going to say that it is not unreasonable to expect my phone to A> turn on and B> charge while plugged into the charger.
I've tried hard, I do love this phone...even the horrid form factor has really grown on me. But I barely use the 3D enough to really miss... I may keep the E3D, it is a rather unique phone, but, SGS2 here I come....Also, aside from touchwiz (which is easily disgarded) it is a nearly stock Android experience....and Samsung has Cyanogen on their payroll. That can't be bad.
I will miss you guys, I'll be back to visit though. It has been fun.

Honestly, I think its more insecure when somebody has a decent phone and has to make a thread asking for their peers/competitions approval to get the other phone. Btw, I have a nokia 1100. Do you think I should upgrade to the nokia 6630?
I voided my warranty and your mum.

The reason the new phone does not appeal to me that much is because it is WIDE -even wider than the Evo 4G. And taller too.

I see it more like asking the opinions of people you consider knowledgeable on the subject. You'd be a fool to not ask people who are very familiar with something when considering whether to buy it or not....especially when it's such a relatively pricey gadget. Take it as a compliment that someone (may) respect your opinion enough on the subject to take your advice to heart.
We are a community here. I doubt any of us actually give a crap of another approves of one another in a social context, especially when starting a thread like this (so long as it isn't obviously trollbait).

For the life of me i don't know why you won't take this into the correct forum...at this point you are trolling and trying to cause a flame war..go back to the Samsung website and dry hump a pic of the gs2 ..i mean its specs are unprecedented..a 1.2 ghz dual core...whoaa.. a gig of RAM? Holy moly...a wvga screen..omfg... This thing ****s on everything...there is nothing else like it..I bet it will load up webpages a third of a.second faster than the e3d and that is very important..mods pls get rid of this rush guy..he's been causing trouble for hours and its getting on everyones nerves

You guys know that instant feeling of anger, shame, befuddlement you get when you see a trailer for a movie that has already been made 2 times before?
And like... The 1st one wasn't good to begin with but it got a lot of "views" so they keep doing it...
Over

And over...
Imagine that, this thread reminded me of those crappy remake movies.

Are you serious? Its a phone that hasn't come out yet, and at that, it just a variation of a phone that is out with a bigger screen. Seriously? I could be real mean here but I wont. Guys do you think I should get the pink shirt with BIGGER yellow stripes?

Broke my bada$$ mytouch4g

So I lost a grip on my phone today and in my attempt to catch my phone from an otherwise normal drop that wouldn't of done a thing to it except raise my heart rate, i slapped it incredibly hard face down onto the ground and completely shattered the screen. LCD still worked fine, gorilla glass- not so much. Called the insurance claims and they dont have any mytouch 4g's in stock so they offered a Sensation or the 4g slide to me for the same cost. Went with the Sensation cuz I hate those slide out keyboards. I can't type for crap with the phone sideways for some reason. Sensation looks pretty bada$$. Anyone used both? I was really sad because my phone was a beast rooted and such. But it seems the Sensation is quite the beast itself and now I'm pretty excited.

I wanted the sensation till I went over to their forums and saw everyone complaining about dust under the screen. I would have pushed for a replacement MT4g

Possibly. I didnt really ask if I was supposed to send the phone back for the insurance claim or what. I've never had insurance on a phone before. The Trackpad is kinda messed up too just so you know. It works but barely. Feels kinda like its stuck down. But if you press it hard it does work. PM me an offer and I'll let you know in a few days when I find out the details about the new phone.

Ya I saw the issue with the dust under the screen. Thing is, my mytouch4g has the same issue. Top left corner of the screen you can see it. And I plan on getting the otterbox asap for this one. Don't feel like forking out any dough for another phone until a quad core comes out.

It was an insurance claim through Assurion. I believe thats the name of the company tmobile goes through. They make you pay a deductable of $130. Kinda sucks but better than paying the ridiculous price I woulda paid since I don't have an upgrade anytime soon. I would have had to pay that amount whether I waited for them to get a mytouch in stock or if I got the sensation or the mytouch4g slide.

I have the Sensation as well. The phone is pretty slick once you get it rooted and such. The dust issue is hit and miss just like any phone. I recommend it. Its going to be a powerful phone for along time since Google wont release another version of Android for awhile that could take better advantage of more cpu cores. I dunno, I like mine alot.

Did you have to send your phone in? Or do you still have your mt4g?

and yes i do have to send the phone back. apparently im an idiot and i should have reported the phone lost instead of broken. sorry guys.

Kinda late but I bought my mytouch 4g off craiglist in new condition with the box for $150 in Orlando. Sold my lg optimus for $80 so didn't feel too much pain from the purchase
I've bought 4 phones like that. Been with tmobile for 5 years and used to get upgraded but now on month to month for the past year.

Lol I love how he spelled badass haha

I know someone with a HTC sensation and they love their phone and they do not have the dust screen problem....actually he never heard of it until I asked him about it!

so what it shattered was the digitizer, the glass that responses to the touch of the fingers, if the lcd was working fine you could have bought an original digitizer on ebay for $30 with tools included and they are plenty of videos on youtube on how to change it it requires a medium to advance level of skill, I replaced mine once and it works like a charm until this day.
My wife has the Sensation and it is amazing, I have being tempted by that gorgeous device to get me one and being close to get it, but then I see my MT4G and how amazing still is,I always backed up, with no remorse. Plus I just added the creamed glacier rom with ICS 4.0.3 and it's amazing there's no way I'm letting this one go, I will keep this little bad ass device for a little longer before I move to another phone.

i dropped mine faceflat too.. i thought i broke it but it was completely fine.. phew

I'm buying a MyTouch 4G and I'm hoping I don't break it. That sucks you did though, have fun with your Sensation.

sorry for your loss i'd go with the sensation!
