This phone has issues. Tmo says no calls lately? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I had to call tmo today to order a 3rd set of g2x.
Reboots and freezing have gotten out of hand.
I had a Rep tell me they have not gotten calls about the issues recently and thought they were just about ironed out.
I got a real bad retention agent who basically said go elsewhere.
Really. But even she was better than Verizon.
I called back about my bill and got a great agent who read the notes from retention I think as she knew we both were having issues.
The transfer went from customer support to loyalty.
Loyalty sent 2 new phones out today. Same day.
This will be our 3rd set of g2x.
Tmo claims call ins are down. Complaints too.
I hope these phones work or we will have to look at sensations.
We love the phones. Not the problems.
And don't want sensations.
Why the heck is tmo not getting the galaxy s2?

Did you try factory data reset ?
That seems to work on some of the phones that are having reboot problems.
I'm on my 3rd G2X and the only problem I've had with all 3 is poor data reception
at my work location. (while the MyTouch 4g does just fine there)
I returned my phone to TMo for a refund over a week ago but Craigslist
got to me in when I saw a G2X for $260 so I'm back.
Too bad this phone is only capable of 14mbps.
I'm definitely down for getting a Sensation though.
I'll just get one off Craigslist.
Anyone see anywhere what speed the Sensation can do ?
TMo will doubtless get the Galaxy S II, dont worry.
The Sammysung Hawk is going to be 21 mbps buts it not dual core.

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and was aware that the backlight bleeding is not a known issue. Although they always seem to take care of me. Shout out to John.

Yeah I did the volume down and power. Also from settings.
I love the phone. I just think its a shame it has such issues.
The sensation looks good but imagine how long updates may take with all that extra stuff in sense
I am a fan of touchwiz. I don't know why. But after my vibrant I'm sketchy on relying on Samsung for updates.
And I hate kies.
But the gs2 looks so damn good I'm not sure you would care about the update

I've read in 2reviews the g2x outperforms the galaxy s2 in games and playing flash.
So I would like to keep it if I can get one that works right
And with a better gpu shouldn't the g2x run smoother over all?

My phone has some hellacious troubles with lost signal. I did the GB leak update, but that didn't take care of it. I drove from my house in Chicago to one of the burbs to check out a Sammy Charge from Verizon and the phone lost signal at least a half dozen times. On the way back, the Charge didn't lose signal once. Don't know if it's faulty software when it transitions from "4G" to lower speeds, bad radio driver or bad antenna design. This is basically a good phone, but dropping calls when I'm driving is simply not acceptable when my N1 and now the Charge don't have the problem, driving the exact same routes.

This is simply false. The Orion is 1.2 Ghz which is why the OS feels snappier. Android doesn't use the GPU for accelerated graphics except in a few apps. Honeycomb is the first OS that really pushes GPU acceleration.
Go on Youtube and compare 3D games between both phones and see which one lags out and stumbles to keep up. Hint (it isn't the G2x)

Why do people keep swapping phones?!?!? Seriously? There hasn't been any new OS updates from T-Mobile/LG so you're not going to get a different software experience. I am waiting for an update - if the update doesn't fix it then I can say it's a faulty hardware. Also the leaked GB is useless as it uses the same baseband and kernel as our current system. If you flash Cyanogenmod and still get reboots then you might have a faulty phone as that's a completely separate kernel.

Did your fascinate have the capability to get 20 mpbs uh no. Its the best out of the 4g phones period. Lg phone sucks donkey balls. Tbolt is a dam nice phone love sense wife owns this phone. The battery life sucks azz though 2 /3 hrs tops. The only reason I did not buy that phone. Charge better display than any other lte phone, better battery life as well. Makes it a easy decision.
A very easy decision. Don't know why people talks down to this phone and in a few more weeks we will have so much ROM to make it even better, not that it's needs to be.
It has 550 ram but 220 is dedicated to functions you cant control. The other is for all your apps and system apps

I guess exercise your return policy?
SAMOLED+ > SAMOLED > Super LCD > TFT.
4.3" > 4" > 3.8" > 3.5".
4G/3G/1x > 3G/1x.
8MP Camera > 5MP Camera (and honestly, better than the 8MP on the DX2).
It has more than "300k" ram.
But, you know, some of the above is personal preference. It's perfectly fine if you don't like the phone.
I love it.
I love my Charge
great batt life and no lockups or anything like I was getting with the tbolt
Grammar and spelling are officially dead on the Internet
It has 512MB of RAM, with a portion of that being allocated to the GPU and some other things on the system, leaving you with ~330MB or so. The GPU needs some dedicated memory to get such good performance, and I'd rather not see it at all, than see it and not be able to use it.
Lets be honest. Out of the box this phone is a pos.
Ive returned mine once thinking i got a bunk phone. On my second droid charge now and im convinced this phone has some hardware issues and samsung built it as cheap as possible. I havent lost any pixils yet but im not sure any rom will make this a sold phone.
I don't understand why people start threads to complain about the phone they own. If you don't like it, fine. Either get rid of it or deal with it. Complaining makes you look:
A. Like a baby
And
B. Like someone who didn't do any research before buying.
Wah wah wahl... We all feel so bad for you.

The only thing I can gather, is that folks like you don't care about 4G and didn't start with a Thunderbolt. This phone is far superior to the Tbolt... making it the best Verizon 4G phone available.
I had a fascinate and stepped up the the charge... I really like the charge. I like the feel and the look of the charge. The only thing that's going to top this phone is going to be the galaxy s2, that is supposed to be released sometime in the third quarter for verizon.

The only issue here is that there are talks that the SGS2 won't be LTE-capable If that's the case, it will make me really, really sad.
And seriously people, if you don't like the phone return it and gtfo. I'm kind of getting sick of hearing about it. Me, personally, I've owned almost every new Verizon and Sprint phone since the HTC Incredible. I love this phone.

im coming from a mytouch4g from tmo so this phone is leaps and bounds better then my old phone. if you think you had a bunk phone and returned it and the second one is not working the way you think it should either then maybe it has something to do with user error not phone. the only thing i would complain about on this phone that the mt4g had it beat in was battery life. the battery life is horrible but thats ok with the amazing screen on this phone its expected

It will be lte with a rev2 chip. Rev2 chip is a radio that does cdma and lte without having different signal bars. It's not like the tb or charge. It doesn't add bulk. And the rev2 chip is known to save battery unlike our lte chips

Shipping date on your sensation: Later date means better device?

After looking through these threads and looking at peoples phones with and without issues, it seems all the devices made with a shipping date starting in June is better than the ones that have been made on 5/24 like some of ours including mines. I've seen that peoples shipping dates (the dates they see on the back of their sensation boxes) usually don't have the crazy landscape WiFi issues, Bluetooth issue, and now a better screen if their devices shipping date started in June. Can some of you guys confirm this?

Mine is 6/2 and I have no issues at all.
Where can I find the date on the box?
Mine is also 6/2/11. The only issue (if you even want to call it that) is the drop in the WiFi signal when I cover up the top portion of the phone. However, in order for this to occur, the phone has to be held in a rather unnatural way. For me, this is a non-issue.
Mine is 6/1 on the box. The battery cover has a date of 5/17. All my initial issues with cell signal were fixed with a new style sim and my random WiFi drops unrelated to death grip seemed to have been fixed by flashing a newer version of dd-wrt on my router. No other issues to report here.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Mine has a date of 5/30 and has no problems whatsoever. The only problem it has was the WiFi Death Grip issue but I fixed that by boosting the WiFi reception on the phone. Mine doesn't even drop a single bar anymore. Even when I'm laying in bed which is on a different floor than the router.
Like someone else said. My display also looks better than others I have seen. Two guys at my work have the Sensation and even they asked me why my display looked better. I was expecting this phone to perform bad in sunlight but it performs better than any phone I have used in the past 2 years (Nexus One, Nexus S, Vibrant and G2X) just to name a few. I really can't believe how bright the display is. The colors almost pop off the screen like on a Super AMOLED.
I also see people reporting only 115mb of available memory on a fresh reboot but I get almost 300mb of free memory on a fresh boot. My Sensation also doesn't seem as stutter in the UI as the two guys I work with or like I have seen in videos.
Maybe your on to something with the dates but it also includes some shipped in late may.
My box reads 5/30/11 and so far is working good...also not experiencing the numerous issues listed on all the Sensation threads.
However I've only had the phone for 24 hours so time will tell...
So far I'm loving it and I paid full retail !

Yeah that's probably true. My phones a 5/13 says my hboot screen(earliest I think I've seen on here) and it seems to not run as I planned. Go to the g2x? If LG released a 6-core phone and the battery lasted 2 days I still wouldn't buy from them.
I only get ~150mb we need some pictures of those ~300mb people for proof. Most I've gotten on mine was 177mb. Mine was also ~150mb out of the box. We don't need a cyanogenmod...the UI is annoying and laggy. We need a stock gingerbread! I do like sense though but when it slows the balls out of your phone, it sucks.

Jrwingate, while you are at it, could you care to test something about the front facing camera for me? Start the camera app, activate the front camera, hold the phone in your hands looking straight at it, as you normally would. Does the camera show your face completely ? Cause on mine's , I have to tilit the phone somewhat downwards towards my stomach in order for it to capture my whole face. If I don't do that, it shows my eyes and above . It seems like the camera angle is not flat with the phone . Please let me know, cause I can still exchange this device. Other guys, could you test this also?

As far as I'm concerned, you're getting ripped off. That phone came out around November or December of last year? It is also only single core as opposed to dual core, as well as many other advantages the G2x has over it...
I'm not sure of your issues, but obviously a working phone is better than a broken one.

May have to do with what the manufacturer is allowing them to do.
T-Mobile is not going to offer Sensations to the masses. They cannot send the G2X back to LG since it's outside of 30 days and they would have to eat the cost of the Sensation. Some people got the Sensation but most are not. The only reason why I did is because T-Mobile ****ed up and notated my account with the **** up.
Thank you for the replies. I am not that techy I only know how to follow instructions lol. I can't cancel now, but will be sending them back the mytouch and will be giving them a phone call and telling them they can take the offer and stick it where the sun don't shine! (maybe in not in those exact words, but I will make sure they get the point.) I can't believe how they are not taking care of there customers. This is so frustrating, especially with all the problems that have arose with this phone. I had one Rep tell me flat out "sorry your stuck with it" wtf!? I love this phone. I don't want an excuse to get a sensation or anything like that. I just want it to work damnitt!

Tell them you want $120 and the MT4g and it's a fair deal
Even the Galaxy S 4G would have been a better deal....
If you want a mytouch, ask for the upcoming mytouch slide, not the mytouch 4g cr4p.
From a g2x yes its a major downgrade.
Having a mt4g side by side with the x the screen is inferior....majorly inferior. Colors are nowhere near as vivid when compared to the x. Hardware wise.....well battery life is good when rooted and running a good rom. My wife uses it and gets easily all day and she's a realestate agent and emails and calls galore she comes home with 35-50% battery every day. At charge time at night she's down to maybe 25% if she plays on it.
The hardware buttons are nice but come loose after a bit. I do miss trackpad tho.
Regardless its a serious downgrade and should not have been accepted by you.
ITS ALL WONKY!!!

They most likely want to advertise their most expensive phones to the greatest extent. Plus the g2x may be out of stock.

What are you talking about, the G2X actually went up in price from $199 to $249.
Making it one of the most expensive phones on T-Mobile.

very true, the average consumer realy doesnt notice the lag like we would, or people on xda would, because we are constantly playing with our phones, **** there happy if the phone doesnt reboot or do any funny stuff , so in there eyes if the phone just plain out works there happy, and its a great phone
I was just on my.t-mobile.com changing my voice plan. (finally getting rid of My Favs, now I get 200 extra anytime minutes for the same price I was paying)
There is a part of the main page of the site that shows a pic of my phone and provides a link labeled "not your phone?" This space has shown an MT3G since I upgraded my WinMo Wing 2 years ago, even though I have been using an N1 for over a year. For whatever reason I was always a bit leery of clicking the link and letting them know I'm not using the phone they sold me.
Today I said what the heck, I bought my G2x from a B&M T-Mo store. I went ahead and clicked the link only to find that the G2x is not an option.
The Bastages...

Should I buy a G2x?

Should I buy a G2x or buy the Sensation 4G for $40 more? This is the only phone within my budget right now thats dual core, I wish I could get the Galaxy S2 but its nowhere to be found for less than $500 and I dont wanna spend that much.
And is the screen bleed issue appears at a later time or is it there from the beginning? I will look for it when buying but is it a possibility that it could appear at a later time?
Whats a good price for the phone?
Dnt make a mistake by buying g2x no ics update for it

^^^^ don't go spreading lies. Yes it's not coming to g2x from LG, but once we have sources I'm sure we will get ICS. if the NS is able to run it then we will.

Doesn't matter. He shouldn't buy the g2x
That's what she said...
I'm happy with mine. Tried sensation and back to g2x, would buy it again. Love this phone

I recommend going to the store, checking out both phones and going from there. Both phones have their issues and positives, so it comes done to which one is more of your liking.
Also I would think there is a higher possibility of the Sensation getting ICS than the G2X so that is def a plus for Sensation.
Good luck.
Hercules Hercules!!
I would get the SGS2 because its newer and it will more than likely get the ICS update. The G2x is a bada$$ phone but if you are looking for the most up to date phone I would get the SGS2.

I'm with the guy above me, I love my G2X but I wouldn't recommend any LG product to anyone at this point.
1) How much would you be spending on the G2X?
2) It's a very powerful, fast phone -- it does have a few software quirks and GPS lock-on isn't the fastest I've seen. Mod ROMs may be helpful.
3) Battery life has been quite good since the Gingerbread update.
4) The G2X may still get ICS from LG as stock, there has been absolutely no announcement regarding it not getting updated and it's just a mass assumption right now since, well, it's LG. Ignore the FUD, though it would be nice if LG would just say yes or no.
You guys don't say why you wouldn't buy it though? I'm getting it for $220 USED but mint condition.
I simply cannot spend 2x that amount for the Galaxy S2, I don't think its worth two times as much especially the Tmobile one with the crappy 1.5ghz Snapdragon processor.
My opinion is... Dont support LG (because they wont support you), buy it used or dont buy it at all
Im buying it used not from the store, thats why its $220... I would pay $220 for the SGS2 but it wont be for that price for atleast another year.

hopefully you don't get one of those that has a faulty chipset, where little to no matter what you do, your phone will reboot, get hot while charging, get frozen on black screen while attempting to wake the phone (screen of death), insane back light bleed... buying this phone used is seriously a shot in the dark as you won't be bale to actually test things out and then be able to return it... I love mine cause I don't have these issues. Others went through 3 or more before they got a good one or just gave up. Good luck to you.

If you wanna be super positive and think they may bring it to the p999 then you are then you are definitely an optimistic person

I can't perform any tests to make sure its not a lemon?
Put your sim in phone and try some GPS. see how long it takes. Also see what baseband its on. Far as reboot issues mine has been 100% flawless and I got it used as well. You can't really test the reboot issues unless it does it right off the bat.

Should I just pay $30 extra for the HTC sensation 4g?

Hang out in these forums and listen to the rambles. Then do the same in the Sensation forums. Should be able to make a comfortable decision by then.
