ever get that pang of nostalgia when you see a G1? My poor G1 was run over early last year and I've missed her ever since. I was browsing craigslist the other day and saw a bunch for sale and almost bought one just so I could have it again. Not that it would ever be used but just for old times sake haha.
Just replaced my G1 a few weeks ago with the G2x. Still own the G1, but haven't looked back at all due to how amazing the G2x is
Funny, I just saw one at the airport yesterday and I did smile.
That's how I feel about my N1 ... its just sitting on my counter not being used but I can't bring myself to sell it. Lol

I have one I use all the time. I got Super D running on it, the battery life is great and I put my sim card in it when I am on my motorcycle or doing something that my phone might be in danger, or need the extra battery life.

I was hesitant to sell my G1, but I sold it to a very close friend so I knew it would be well taken care of. it was never warranty replaced or fixed, and I got it on week one of the launch date and it still works today from what I'm told. Today he rocks a G2.

I'm still using my G1 haha. It's screen cracked 1.5 years ago, but it still works fine. Some for the keys are hard to press, and it's a bit slowed down, but it's still kicking! I had the G2X but returned it a couple weeks ago to get a better deal on it. Now I'm thinking about waiting for Gingerbread before repurchasing.
I had a g1 at launch, then moved to the n1 when that hit. I miss both.

My G1 was the longest I've ever had a phone. Bought it shortly after launch and kept it until a year ago. I had no thoughts of upgrading at all until she was run over. It was just so... opposite aesthetically of what we look for in a mobile device. It was this huge brown block with a Jay Leno chin and weirdly designed hinge but I loved it.
I had my G1 ever since the 1st day of release from T-Mobile. This is the longest phone I've too. I've CM 6.0 and it really does show it's age. At some point I tell myself I'll break it into two (2) pieces when I get new phone. It's so slow I even having problem loading my map. However, my wife's BB pearl 8100 broke so she saved it's life.

Lmao, that was a good description. I recently sold my G1 and I do miss it. It was built like a tank too.

Amen to that. I don't know how many times my g1 took a spill across concrete. And yet its still there on my dresser like a soldier, my wife wanted to give it to her brother but I told her she was crazy. That's the father of android , you treat it with respect!!!

I got the G1 on launch day and to this day I still say it has the best keyboard on a cell phone ever. The spacing I used to burn through text messages and emails no problemo. I did end up getting an N1 via Clist and I love my N1 just as much as my G1. I will never sale either of them. Once LG fixes their G2x issues then I will make the jump and my N1 will sit at the base of my monitor so it won't be forgotten. Ever so often I will boot it up and load the latest Cyanogen on there smile at it and then turn it back off.
Agree with all of you here, I got an iPhone the first month it was out, then later ditched it for a G1 because it was more hackable and had the best keyboard I've ever used on a phone. Early on with Cupcake it was horrible compared to the iPhone, but Android got better so fast that I never looked back. And even with Cupcake it still did things the iPhone couldn't at the time, like stereo bluetooth.
Other than the lack of a physical keyboard I'm loving the G2x though. But think I'll keep my G1, and see if I can get Arch Linux running on it.

I just upgraded from my old G1 to my new G2X this past sunday. The difference is night and day for sure. I still have the G1 sitting next to me to compare with, and while I loved that phone, I don't think I could go back!

I still have my g1, I upgraded from my G1 to the G2x on launch day, but I still keep it since its quite personal and has a lot of useful apps on it
Wel... I mainly use it for an alarm now. Battery lasts a long time when it doesn't need to look for any network connection. I'm going to keep it because it is the first android phone.
I'd still have mine if it wernt for crazy Las Vegas, Check sig... I do love my G2x though, just wish it has a querty keyboard, touch screen only blows.
The g1 was definitely an awesome phone. I had mine from week of release till the day of g2x release. It was overclocked, had sdext partition, and cm6. Gave it to my father. Its his first smart phone. He enjoys it now. Although it still works fine, I may replace the housing. I took that tphone to hell and back and it still lives on. O I do miss the trackball and keyboard though.

As per title really...has anyone else experienced dust getting underneath the touchscreen?
on one of the rare days of sunshine last week I noticed a small amount of dust under the screen. It's going back to vodafone for "repair"
Not a good sign on a two week old device!

Are you saying that originally your Sensation had no dust under the screen and dust developed there over time?
Someone was showing how the case design causes link to get in other areas, but I wonder if this also is the cause of dust getting under the screen???
And there's another thread about this same issue.
This is very depressing.
I've really hit a point where I'm wondering if this is the right device for me .
Edit October 25, 2011: I've had a Sensation for 3 months now and have not had any issues. The vast majority of Sensation owners don't have this issue.

This is how it goes in the beginning, unfortunately. Remember, this is a small percentage of actual Sensation phones we're hearing about here. Then again, I'm coming from the G2X...talk about issues.
I bought the Nexus One at launch, and had many issues. However, it turned out being the best phone I ever owned.
Sorry for creating another post.... Been on this board every day for weeks looking for root info and clearly missed it. :-(
Yes by the way... I mean no dust when I got it and now dust!
I still love it though... Just annoying that going to be without it for a week. Back to my leedroid gb desire... I'm glad I hadn't ebay ed it yet!

Could anyone who is using Sensation longer than two weeks confirm that not all these devices are affected by this? I've seen a lot of posts about it, and I am concerned if only some of them are affected or just few unlucky pieces...
I was looking forward to get this phone since they did not announce it on Barcelona, I knew HTC has something they didnt want us to see, few weeks later my wish came true, now its finaly here, and I am struggling if I should buy it or not... the WIFI problem doesnt look that serious to me, and seems like I could live with it(I am barelly using BT, and WIFI only at home, where the signal is better than good)...
Please, is here someone who doesnt have this problem after few weeks of usage? Still, if all the phones are affected, what would be the matter of getting it exchanged/fixed after two weeks, if I'll get the same phone again with the same issue, and two weeks later I will have to get that fixed again...
I too would like to hear from people who have *not* had dust issues and happen to keep their phone in their pocket or someplace where dust can get in. I'm looking at getting this phone today, and this is the first I've heard about dust. Had dust in my HTC Hero back when I had that phone, drove me nuts. Actually used to take it apart about once a month to do a thorough cleaning, and I kinda thought that after that phone, I wouldn't have to deal with that kind of issue anymore.
I havent had any dust underneith my screen but I do have a gel cover on that sort of seals any areas where dust can get in.

Using mine since 27/05. It spends half of the time in the pocket, the back cover was taken off a few times as well. There's dust all around the screen where it meets the cover but none underneath the actual touchscreen.
Quite bad idea for a back cover IMHO but no dust issues so far. Standard issue Vodafone IRL Sensation

Long as it's not getting under the touchscreen it's not "too" big of a deal... The screen should be fused tightly enough that none every should get under there, theoretically speaking...

My HD2 was fine before I even loaded a custom ROM on it. I was stock the first 30 days with no complaints.
But XDA can mostly address software, not hardware issues. No custom ROM can kick dust from under the screen .

So I go to the Tmobile store and asked how they work with Dust under the screen. He said if its a widespread problem that a ton of people are having theyll replace them. But he said if no one reports it then they might not replace them.
I got two specs under my screen now. All the walmarts are sold out, and I only have 14 days to return. Im stumped on what to do.

Regarding the T-Mobile store. What the heck does the rest of the Sensation owning public have to do with YOUR Sensation having a defect? Even if 1 is defective it should be replaced. It should not require a fixed percentage.
Personally, I'd return for full refund before the return period runs out, but that's just me...
If it ALREADY has 2 specs under the screen. What do you think it will have 30 days from now, 1 year from now? That's a rhetorical question.

Yea what I meant was I want another one but they are all sold out lol. I wouldn't mind if tmobiles gonna replace it anyways keep it until the dust is unbearable.
But ur right I might just return at walmart and wait for another shipment.
reminds me of what was going on when i got my nexus one.. i was able to escape that issue then and i hope to escape it now
Ok, so I have a G2x right now with some wear and tear (scratched and knicked up corners from dropping several times). Do you guys think that trading the G2x plus 200 bucks is a good deal for a brand new in-box factory sealed Sensation? I am just fed up with the G2x and the overheating and freezing and the frequent battery pulls I have to do on it. I just need a dependable reliable phone and the G2x has yet to fill that need. I've tried several ROMs and the phone still has issues even with the new GB update. What do you guys think of this deal? I don't want to get ripped off. Let me know, thanks.
Not a very good deal, what if the phone isn't legit for one. And you have thar many issues still with the phone you should be able to go to tmobile and get a deal from them for the sensation. I wouldn't do that deal at all, unless I was giving you the sensation lol.

I tried getting something through t-mobile but i used my upgrade in april for the g2x so they told me all they could do was swap for another g2x or pay full retail for a sensation ...Is there anyone at t-mo that can get me a better deal? Thanks.
I'd do it. I'm so fed up with my G2x that I'm thinking of getting what I can for it on e-bay and going to another carrier. I don't care if the sensation is laggy, as long as it works and HTC doesn't jerk me around any longer. Just my opinion.
Hell yea that's a good deal and if anyone says differently....Their high! Even if you end up getting a bad Sensation, you could still sell it for a lot more than you would ever get out of your G2X. Go ahead and do the deal man. You wont regret it. The Sensation just got the unlocked bootloader so game on. I've been using my Sensation for 2 months and rarely ever pick up my G2X anymore. I'm actually getting ready to throw it on Ebay since I really have no use for it anymore. I was using it to play around with ROMS but now I can start doing that on my Sensation which will be getting Cyanogen any day now.

Just out of curiosity what rom are u running? Since updating via LG tool then wiping and installing xboarders rooted GB my phone is pure awesomeness, not a single issue (though mine didnt have many to begin with). Just saying, if u haven't tried that its definitley worth a shot because most people have had positive experiences with it; I definitley have.
Sorry for getting off topic but it would be sad to see sumbody jump ship if they could still be saved

I have tried MIUI, CM7, EB 1.06 based off of v21e, Xboarders 2.3.3 based off of V21e, and Faux's AOSP 2.3.5. While the LG 2.3.3 update has definitely resolved some bugs I still get the overheating, and the sleep of death. I still find myself doing battery pulls once a day. This is with all of these ROM's I just mentioned. It's very unfortunate because I honestly want to like the G2x but it's difficult.
I know that there are some good ROMs out there and I've looked into installing them but I shouldn't have to install a ROM on a $500 device to make it work properly. It is not like I am a phone super user. I surf a little, make some calls, and play a game or two but now instead of a reboot, it just stops working. And all of the "The Update Will be soon" then nothing announcements have killed all of Tmobile's credibility with me. Not to mention that LG released an "Update" apparently without even telling Tmo, then Tmo followed, and not I'm hearing rumors that the update was discontinued (not confirmed yet). . . . Seriously? F, it. I'm taking my ball and going to home.
Htc sensation has more and worse issues than the g2x.. I traded for the sensation just like you, went through 3 of em.... That phone has 3 types of screens, bad I mean horrible wifi, screen won't respond after a week, dust, etc.... The only thing better on the sensation is the camera.....
I had 3 sensations all same issues, 4 g2xs one had dust, one dead pixel and the other two work great as the first few did but with dust and pixel.......
I love my g2x over my old sensation anyday... G2x ftw

Just like there are G2X's out there with no problems, there are also Sensations out there with no problems. I would say both have there issues on a large scale but which phone bow adays doesn't? I had to go through 5 G2X's to get a good one and 3 Sensations to get a good one. My last Sensation that I've had for over a month has absolutely zero issues and definitely not any of the ones you ran into. My Sensation can actually get a WiFi signal further away from my house than my G2X can and out of the 5 Sensations I've seen in person, not one has had dust under the display. I did have 2 Sensations that ran into the touch screen issues but the one I'm using now and my wife's who has had hers for 2 months have never devoloped any touch screen issues. My wife usually complains about stuff not working on her phones but this is the first one she hasn't complained about. Ill agree that there is a lot of people who have certain issues but there is more who have no issues. Just because you got 3 bad phones doesn't mean everyone of them is bad. Hell, if that was the case, I would have gave up on the G2X long long ago before I even got my Sensation.
In the end, a brand new Sensation is worth a lot more than a used G2X. I should know since I stand to lose more money on my G2X than any other phone I've purchased at retail price.

For those of you guys who get replacements, do you pay the 20 dollar fee to get your phone replaced? Last I called to get a replacement for my dad Nokia, they said that we had to pay 20 bucks just to get a replacement. I mean after 4 or 5 phones, that's a lot of money!
Oh and 200 bucks sounds like too much. A Guy here on Craigslist was asking plus 80 for a brand new in box just got delivered Sensation.

I'm just torn right now this is tough. I'm hearing love stories from people with problem free G2x's and horror stories from those with buggy ones. Vice versa with the Sensation.
+1 once you get the sensation you will have to deal with new sets of problems of which btw the sensation has, and are way more wide spread than G2x.
I hope that you find a good phone that works for you.

Nope, nobody has complained of any problems like that on a wide scale. Maybe here or there but its very far and few between. Nothing like it is on the G2X. I really don't know what problems people are talking about on a large scale with the Sensation but the only one I know of on a large scale is the WiFi deathgrip when holding the phone in landscape. Everything else is petty bull**** like the screen bleed on the G2X

i just called in and spoke to a rep. After telling her how i have had 8 g2xs and i don't think the G2 is a comparable phone, she told me about other upgrade options. she offered me a sensation for 220. think this is a good offer? my current G2x is a pretty good one, it doesn't reboot often at all and if i run gps test before navigation it works fine. the only issue is it sometimes will turn off while charging overnight, but when i turn it back on it is still fully charged. I know the sensation also has some big issues, so i really don't know what to do.
also anyone want to buy a g2x for 220 lol? (not really serious, but i kinda am).
im starting to think that most android phone have problem gotta be the OS
Yeah man. Its not your phone its the software or your configuration, you should have figured that out after that many returns. what are you running?

If you're unhappy and think you'll be happier with a Sensation than it's probably worth the money. Others have posted they got a Sensation for free while some have said T-Mobile refused at any price. So you're somewhere in the middle.
please dont tell me it's what i am running. i have had this phone on stock gingerbread. and done a factory reset. but it still couldnt charge over night.
and my soccer coach has told me insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. when i hear that i look to tmobile, shipping out more g2xs that they know are defective and wondering why all these people keep coming back for exchanges time and time again. Every time i call in i ask for a refund or a sensation, i don't want to be caught in this exchange cycle, its all T-mobiles fault!

NO do not give them 200 bucks to replace a phone they sold that was defective.
i have seen many say they had results through the BBB. so thats worth a try.
Keep fighting dont give in!
if they think your mad enough they will give you a refund thats how I got mine.
I got G2x for about $550 through tmobile and started seeing problem on the first week so I keep bugging them after a month of disappointment when my return date is overdue and they still gave me my money back. What I do with the money 550 is to get a refurbish one from craiglist for 200 that doesnt have bleeding screen like my first one and I saved 330. so try to return that and buy a new one from people on craiglist that are moving to sensation not knowing that it sucks more.

**** deal. Don't go for it. All they are doing is moving your upgrade up.
As for the people saying 8 is crazy I went thru 7 g2 phones. 5 in a row were defects out of the box. Its not likley to happen but it is possible.
G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
BBB = Better Business Bureau.
You can call them up and complain about T-Mobile's response to your genuine issue. They will then communicate with T-Mobile on your behalf and try and get a resolution for you.
Ya don't pay the money for the Sensation... i really love my G2x sure there is a little screen bleed but it still is blazing fast,,, just my 2 cents....
No way.there gonna take your upgrade and your cash and you well hate it even more..
I called it the crapsation... Cause it was crap..
Good g2x > sensation
all I ever wanted was a good g2x. But I have yet to be issued one..... and I might wait for the Hercules now.

Last week on Tuesday I decided to get a warranty replacement, now... I'm well aware that these are refurbished phones and that they can be damaged, etc. T-Mobile, however, assures you that they are to appear "Like-new". Well, the device came the next day as promised and what do I see? 10-12 dead pixels and... spotting behind the screen... like WATER DAMAGE! At this point I'm thinking... "Wtf T-Mobile?" So I give 'em a call, they tell me they'll send out another and that they are sorry for the inconvenience... Well, this time Friday rolls around and the delivery comes... I grab the box and get ready to open it with my Partner, jokingly I say to him... "Let's see how messed up this one is!" and I open the box... Well, the second one they sent has a LARGE chunk out of the MAO in the bottom left corner of the device... like it had been dropped. I'm pissed at this point... I call T-Mobile and because it's a defect in the "hardware" I had to take it down to the store to get a rep to verify that the device was damaged (also still in the warranty box they send out) and at this point they take $25 off my bill and offer me yet another warranty replacement!!! UGH!! So, the new one is coming today... If it's messed up I am demanding that they send me a new one. I'm so upset at this point... My device I sent to them to begin with was damn near flawless other than (from what I could tell) software issues.
What do y'all think? I'm starting to believe they don't even perform these so-called "Quality checks"
Been there done that I had to go through 6 phones. they offered me a brand new Galaxy S 2 . But it's backordered so I decided not to do it

If I even get one more messed up one I'm gonna make them give me a new One S... I bought this phone, I'm sticking with this phone. They WILL give me a new one. Heh. Also, I came from the GSII... Don't do it... the DPI is weird and everything is HUGE on the screen. Lol. I didn't like it mainly because with the default TouchWiz roms you can't change DPI or the UI is all diff sizes and messed up... Now... On custom CM10 roms, etc you can change DPI and it looks amazing at like 200 DPI or so... but back then the bugs were too much to stay on custom roms.
Went through these with my wifes amaze. I demanded a brand
New one s and got it.

what are you going to do if they tell you to go pound sand?
I don't understand why you are warning people about their warranty...they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. I understand the frustration of having to keep getting a replacement, but at least they are cooperative and doing it. ..sounds like a good warranty to me.

they sent me 4 defective replacement sensation 4g's until i demanded a comperable android replacement... after a couple of other rep's and explaining to them why a nokia lumina is not a comperable device then asking for a supervisor they sent me my One S free of charge, I offered to send my sensation back but they didnt send a box to return it in.... Thats a Win in my book. I did have to call back twice to get them to take the charge for the One S off my bill, which they did
Yea, I've never had an issue with T-Mobile warranty...that's how I got my One S...I had a Sensation, then complained enough, and they upgraded me to the One S at no charge. It might be a pain to go through numerous phones before getting a good one, but you can't beat the fact that they overnight you a phone with just a simple phone call, great service.

Your talking about assurion right? cause theyre their own company. theres a big difference. and yea id be pissed to pay a deductible and get a messed up phone. the last time i had my phone replaced by them it was pretty much brand new so im sorry for your luck :/
Im more curious as to why you sent your original back, if all it had was a software issue?

Agreed. Doesn't make any sense. You would figure that since he's on XDA, that he'd try to flash a new ROM, reflash the original, etc, to get it back to normal.
Then again, some people are hardcore about not wanting to touch their phone's ROM. I on the other hand, am absolutely disgusted by HTC Sense and all the fancy pants bull**** it has. Simplicity, minimalism, and speed are where it's at.

It stopped saving screenshots (not a big deal) however, it shortly after started saving all photos taken with the camera as 0byte files. NOTHING fixed it. I even put the phone back to S-On and unlocked, re-rooted, redid the S-Off... Nothing helped. Kinda useless if I can't take pictures. I also tried many different roms.
Also, the warning was to say that if you need a replacement... make sure you can deal with going through 4-5 before you get one that is fully intact. The last one they sent me (#3) had the screen popping up out of the device. You could see the button backlights fron the side if you looked at it, got yet another coming tomorrow.
