yea came from the vibe too, my was leggy as well but it would use the treadmill daily so they were pretty tone.
Nexus One b/c I was tired of running out of memory for apps or switching to the slower app2sd, and I wanted a better multi-touch screen, and I wanted a slightly bigger screen, and I wanted "4G", and I wanted a developer friendly phone.

I previously had a Vibrant, and loved it. Unfortunately I had a pretty intense water accident with it (sat in a jacuzzi for 10 min before realizing it was in my pocket). I am eligible for an upgrade and am torn on phones. I have to get a phone by the 25th, so I can't wait for the Hercules, so I'm wondering, should I even bother with the SGS4G? Or should I look elsewhere at the Sensation or G2X?

Yes. I think you should "bother" with this phone
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
By bother, I mean is it worth it to get, its almost six months old and I know that its not running on much different hardware than the vibrant (which is one reason I'm so attracted to it) but I want a beast, not a puppy when it compares to other phones in good old performance. Haha I realize now that "bother" wasn't quite the right word. I guess the better phrase is, is it worth it to get over the other new powerhouses?

I don't know anything about the sensation but my wife had a g2x and that was one big ass soggy piece of crap. Nothing but problems came from that thing. Needless to say we swapped it out. As far as the sgs4g goes I love this phone and would never pick a g2x over it.

My sister has the SGS4 and I used a sensation at the store but I have yet to find a g2x to mess with....
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I played with the sensation at the store and I liked it alot but I couldnt tell a whole lot of difference. But hardware wise the sensation has the high ground and it has sense 3.0 which I like alot. I,love my sgs4g but I personally like the sensation more. If only the new sgs4gs had 2.3.4 and tw4.5 or something new then it would be a beast.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
G2x is a solid phone, if it didnt have all the issues it would probably top the sensation. I like the g2x, stock android and very very fast! Sensation is an excellent phone as well, reminded me too much of my nexus one though.
You can't really go wrong with either one (IF you get a good g2x without problems) slim chance it seems to be. Battery life on g2x wasnt great barely 6-8 hours or so, sensation is alittle better though. Galaxy s 4g is nice, no issues running kg4 and probably getting around 2 days plus on one charge.
May want to consider a nexus s as well if you are looking at this phone. Personally I would try to hold off for another month or so, new nexus may roll out, the sgs2 or whatever itll be called? If you must choose now, pick up a cheap galaxy s4g off craigslist.
Sgs4g is great but either the sensation or g2x is def a better choice. Better dev communities and better phones period.. dual core ftw. Hercules is a phone to end all phones though.. why can't u wait??
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Not sure about G2x, but the SG4G is way better than Sensation 4G
Sensation got a good screen, but, the battery life sux. Also the call quality is not good as SG4G. Low ring ton volume is disappointing also. Audio quality (headphone) of SG4G (with voodoo) is 100 times better than Sensation.
Why not just get a phone like the Sensation on the 24th of this month and if the Hercules comes out before your 14 day return period then just swap it out for the Hercules.
But if you live in the wonderful state of California, then you get 30 days to swap it out.
You guys are all looking at software issues. Hardware wise, the other phones are newer...so of course the others will be faster, have more memory, etc. most, if not all, the issues will probably be addressed by the community. I have no complaints about this phone, but do your research on the development of the others.

Hercules has the qualcomm snapdragon dual core, when compared to the exynos on my sgs2, it feels like comparing a core i5 to a pentium dual core. But the screen size is a plus, but it will probably kill the battery really quickly.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using XDA Premium App
Tough choice, while the sgs4g is a solid device, it is older hardware wise. On the other hand the g2x and sensation has a plethora of issues.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using XDA Premium App
Well the reason I can't wait is because I added a line on the 26th and only got the sim. So I have until then to get a new phone at contract price. I don't know if they will let me buy it and still have the 30 days (I live in california). Otherwise maybe I will get the sensation and hold it til the herc comes.

Or you could just keep the Sensation. The Hercules is not that much of an upgrade anyways, unless you're dying for an AMOLED+ screen.
They have the same processor. Plus, if you're into modding, the Sensation is very close to a full working build of CM7. So you can only imagine how fast that will be. And it's a qHD screen while the Hercules is not.
I think I need to research the qHD screen. It didn't look very impressive to me, but I only used the phone for 2 minutes or so. The thing is, I LOVED the super AMOLED on the vibrant.

I just left the GS4G for the Sensation. The GS4G is ok, but it's middle of the road in terms of specs these days.

I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store and check them all out.
All three of them are different, out of the three though I preferred the G2x since I like it stock.
I had the SGS4G and although it was a good phone I think that the G2x is a better phone all around. Tetra Dual core, HD recording, unlocked bootloader, stock, great screen, hdmi port, and build quality.
Hope that helps

I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store as well. If you are not good with dealing things, do not go for the g2x. Don't get me wrong,I love my phone. It's an amazing phone,but you have to do little work on it. If you like sense, go for the sensation, if you like games? I would suggest to go with the g2x.
But it all comes down to you, buddy. Go to a store and try them out to see if you like which better.
if you cant wait for the hercules than get the g2x because its almost the same price as the sgs4g but daul core, since sensation sucks its only using one core but good gpu. G2X ftw because of performance and price.

And I'd recommend the G2X because it has a larger Dev community, considering the fast that the Sensation just got Perma-Root...

Wait for the Hercules as it will walk all over any of the current offerings. Plus it is going to come with 4.5 inches of Super AMOLED + goodness. If you liked your Vibrants display you are going to love the Hercules display.

Has anyone actually seen and held one of the unbranded euro models? I met a guy from France today who had one on SFR and it was actually a smaller looking Infuse. All I've heard so far is that the euro one is 4.5 and att is going to get a 4.3 version. Can anyone clear this up for me really quick? I don't want this to turn into a flaming or bashing or anything like that. Just wanted to know if anyone had a definitive answer because Google doesn't help one bit haha

Hmm.. well samsung galaxy s2 was released a few months ago here in Mexico and well they KINDA look alike... except the middle physical button on the gs2 and the battery door that makes the camera look "different" even though they are both 8mp
Of course sg2 is "faster" since the dual core but i didnt noticed any major difference on speed when working with my friends galaxy s2.... it was smaller than my Infuse, so i guess its 4.3"... and at&t should get 4.3" as well... i mean Mexican and European version are 4.3" i dont think the USA will be 4.5" probably bad info...

The Euro version is a 4.3" screen, AT&T's version will be the closest to the Euro one, only the physical button will be gone from all american versions of the phone. The Sprint and T-Mobile versions will have 4.52" screens instead of 4.3", and the T-Mobile version will have a different, 1.5Ghz dual core Qualcom CPU. The Samsung Exynos chip is limited to 21.1mbps HSPA+ speeds, while the Qualcom can hit 42mbps.

Hello all, anybody here own a LG optimus elite yet? I'm looking to buy one but would like to no a persons opinion from here. Thanks!
Sent from my HTC_A510c using xda premium
Hello,
I am one of many who has a grandfathered Virgin Mobile $25 plan that though we had no hope other than the hopeless Triumph.
Due to a wrinkle in their roll out, the Elite became available, and through tomorrow or the next day, can be added on a grandfathered $25 plan.
Having said that, I bought one to replace my Optimus V and would dearly love at least Root for it.
MetroPCS has released the Optimus M+ which is basically the same phone so there are two economy but pretty nice phones that could use some love from the wonderful hacker community.
Thanks for asking!
---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------
BTW, the phone is $129 at Best Buy, $149 MSRP and Walmart.
The GPS is better than the OV one which was very good. The phone is a little taller, but 1/3 thinner vs. the chunky OV.
The phone has WAY more RAM for the user so the slightly faster processor seems way faster than it really is. I had the IFO ROM for mine, and even with some tweaks, the Elite is way better stock than the OV was tweaked.
What you lose is the WiFi hotspot feature which came with my OV. The applications want to go to internal memory (another 4GB) vs. the SD, but at least you don't lose your programs if you swap the SIM.
Having the NFC/Wallet feature is a cool bonus.
So far the bigger screen, although only .3, it seems like much more.
Battery life has been stupendous for me...way kewl!
Thanks for all that great info! How is the screen quality? Is it clear vs. The optimus v?

Hiya... I think the build quality from all the major companies is good. It is usually the lower quality companies building cheaper phones, like the complaints about light leaks and other issues with the Triumph (made by Huawei?).
I don't know of anyone who has had a phone fall apart in their pocket. What matters more to me is the capabilities, like the strength of the GPS/cell radios, etc. which all seem fine.

It is marketed by Motorola, not made by Motorola, nor is the iPhone made by Apple. They are both made by FoxConn, but in the case of the Triumph, via HuaWei or whatever it is called. See the forum topic on this site about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205658
Just like at one time there were only 5 brands of gas in the US, regardless of where you bought it or what the sign said.
What it really comes down to is these companies go to places like FoxConn and tell them they want a million of something and get a quote. Then they start dickering on substituting cheaper parts, or adding goodies on to bring the price up or down. HuaWei can put in an order with FoxConn and by having a company like Motorola order piggyback on their order, they could bring down the cost for both companies branded phone.
wow i didnt no that! thanks again for your great info I learn something new everyday
LG Optimus Elite is really 1GHZ, not 800mhz
Had a surprise when checking the system settings on the phone. Went into Quadrant and lo and behold, the phone has been overclocked to 1ghz. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere else yet??
That can explain how it is snappier than what you would expect for an increase from 600 of the OV to 800 of the Elite, when in reality it is really 1ghz.

Try CPU benchmark, there's no way the phone would come overclocked, that's why I think maybe the benchmarks think it is overclocked when its not
