Yea, I don't think I've ever seen such a mass exodus of a high end phone before.

I do the exact same thing....but with crazy women.

Well since both the G2x and the Optimus 2X suffer from reboots, we can only assume that it is hardware and not software. The LCD panel is generally crap, the phone randomly freezes for multiple seconds...
And its sad that an overclocked Nook Color gets better benches than our G2x's.
My Sensation should be here today (Tuesday) or Wednesday at the latest... We'll see how it performs... You know there is something wrong with a high end phone when you call T-Mobile retention and tell them your phone is rebooting and they say it must be a G2x and immediately ask what other model you would like to replace it with...

oh man, and i was getting all excited about this being a sensation thread! you suck!

Ok, not wanting you to suffer any more than necessary....I reached over and grabbed my Sensation off the nightstand. I do have both. After reading all the hype, again, about the Sensation, I put my sim back in...fired that baby up.
I started reading comparisons about how great the qHD screen is. Processing speed....how you can play, almost every game. How internet was great...blazing speed, etc...
Ok....I really need to give this another shot...after all, I paid for it.
So...turned it on....No Wifi....reboot...No Wifi and no bars...hmmm...checking to make sure I removed the cone of silence....switched over to the LG....no wifi...duh...its off...but...2 bars 4g. Ok..maybe I'm holding it wrong...you know..Death Grip...so I grab a pencial and hold the the LG with just a pencil...4g 2 bars....Sensation....0 bars.
I'm sorry...how can I run a comparison when I can't get reception where I need it to get reception?
Ohhh...the sun just came out...so I ran over to the window and compared the screens in the sun....they're right...the Sensation is more viewable in direct sunlight....guess what I saw....nothing...0bars..no reception. Took my LG, made a half turn to my left...and read up in the Sensation forum about how great this phone is.
Test aborted....0 bars...back to the night stand. Its holding down my past due bills....

More periods in this one post then most women have in a lifetime.
Needless to say good read & gave me a laugh

hey all,
I have a Optimus 2X the AWS 1700 version which was released here in Canada on Wind Mobile and it suffers absolutely none if the issues which I have experienced with my G2X...one thing different I have seen while comparing the version info is my baseband version is dated Jun-05-2011 where as all the g2x's ive been through have a baseband date of March-27-2011
this phone is a beast when it works the way it should!

Screen Bleed Swap out days are over

After only a single attempt at a warranty replacement I finally got word from TMO today that they will no longer swap handset's for screen bleeding issues. The rep told me that it is now considered a known issue and will not swap anymore phones because they know that the new one will have the same issues as well. I asked if she knew anymore information about it and she said the only thing that they know is that LG is working on a permanent fix.
I asked if that meant a new handset for those with the screen issue and of course she did not know but also stated that the fix/replace/repair is definitely a hardware problem and LG is expected to make right on it. So for now Ill deal with random reboots, shutdowns, and crappy battery until the update. I'm just curious on how they are going to remedy the situation. Hopefully a release comes out soon at least identifying the issue.
So if you can still trade in then by all means go for it. I have had two reps tell me now that as of the 24th, they no longer exchange due to screen bleed. I didnt push the issue on a new phone cause I like this phone and want to see how it all turns out now that LG has the ball.
I originally posted an article on the issue here at Gear Diary
Here is the new post that went live today. Bleed Article Pt 2

I'd be willing to bet T-Mobile and LG lost money on this phone...I know they lost money by letting me keep mine...HAHA

On another note I did speak with a CSR today her name was Nicole. She told me she could exchange for another if I wanted or she could offer me a nice discount on another phone. I rejected both, I was just trying to fish for information. So maybe the whole we are not replacing news hasn't filtered down to everyone yet, or you just got a rep that is tired of exchanging out G2X's

Ha... I've swapped out over 5 Mytouch 4Gs and the best way to go about it is through the chat on their website.
It all depends on the Rep. I read on the MT4G forum they quit swapping out phones for the screen issue with that phone... It's a wash. Depends on who you talk to and how their day is going apparently.
If at first you don't succeed... Call another rep... LOL

unless they notate the account and we get a sweet big red pop up saying DONT DO IT when you walk into a brick and mortar.

It's really an easy fix.....they just need to limit the backlight output to about 45% of the current max.
The screen bleed will almost never be visible, at that new max brightness. Of course when outside, and you want to kick up the brightness to max....it just won't perform the same.
The Optimus Black is supposed to be the new NOVA screens....I have not bothered to check to see what the bleed complaints are over there. Switching out the G2x to the NOVA screen as an undocumented upgrade would not be out of the question.

I've heard the Nova displays are supposed to perform good in direct sunlight but Vlad from Engadget said it falls well short of performing well in direct sunlight.

This is totally YMMV with the reps. She had to take some time and look it up in the "knowledge base" and said that she learned something new. It may have just been me but the rude chat representative and now the rep from the phonecall said the same thing. I guess it all depends on how much you push. I was most happy just to know that now it is seen as a legitimate issue by both TMO and LG and am waiting for the resolve.

I just got one swapped out yesterday. They gave me free overnight shipping too. This is like the 5th time, if its not free I guess I'm confident ill get to keep it. You see I learned during my call yesterday that they now charge five bucks for using warranty, that's a change in contract, 30 days to reject the new changes. Even still, I'm on my 5th G2X, completelly unacceptable!

See this is an example of why t-mobile sucks. They've sold phones that THEY KNOW ARE DEFECTIVE...and won't replace them. I understand it'd be stupid to replace them with another G2X - but they should a) give us our money back or b) exchange it for another phone like the sensation or mytouch4G. The fact that they don't is probably grounds for a lawsuit. If anyone is interested I'm thinking of filing one.

Luckily for me, I only had to swap mine once to get a phone without backlight bleed. Even on max, it's hardly noticeable. My first one was horrible, even below 50%. Now, the wait for an update begins.

im getting a replacement but there charging me 20 bucks to do so! i got the shiz end of the deal

Or they could directly seal the screen to the glass like. In the iphone and galaxy s lineup

Not necessarily. If you bring up prices in asking for a replacement (i.e. I paid $180 for my G2x and Sensation is now cheaper) they'll frequently feel pressured into sending you one. My brother swapped his out for a Sensation, claimed the Sensy had overheating problems, and got a replacement MT4G Slide.

When I popped that response into the google narcissism translator, this is what it spit out: i wanted to post something that offers zero value to this thread, xda, or anyone else in this world. As a matter of fact, I wanted to post something that has zero value for a single thing on this entire earth, outside of puffing up my ego. I'm so thankful I have avenues such as the internet to sharpen and feed my narcissism. I'm so full now.. I'm so happy. I feel great. Wow, it's like a drug. I hope someone argues with my stance so I can keep getting fed....

Pressed screen sound

Does the sensation make cracking sounds when you press on the screen with little effort? It is similar to the sound the back battery cover makes when it gets pressed on other devices. Just quivering if its a defect or normal. I think its the noise of the edge of the screen rubbing with the frame of the phone.

There are a lot of threads about this. A lot off people are getting new covers from HTC. You can also try to put a little tape on the inside of the cover, to make.it more snug

so this is common and most people can hear a noise of the phones cover when the screen is pressed using about the same amount of pressure as snapping your fingers?

I'm getting it next week so I'll let you know. I did my exchange through T-Mobile. I tried doing it online, but the CSR rep wasn't picking up on what I said so I just called. They handle all the stuff for me and are sending me a phone from HTC.

I got my replacement today and it was just the phone, not the back cover. Not sure if it's a refurb or a new model. I have no more creaking sounds and the screen doesn't "give" anymore either. Hope that helps.

If it makes a noise when you press "right there" then don't press right there. Never in by wildest dreams have I ever thought of returning my phone cuz it made "a noise". I'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous. You complain about sounds created from actions that aren't part of everyday use. It's like you sit and look for defects just so you have something to complain about. It's insane. I'm sorry if this comes off as rude or a rant, but it just bugs me seeing just so many useless threads like this.

If you're talking to me, it isn't the only issue I had. I had light leaking through the bottom left hand corner, the text/screen flicker issue, and the fact the battery would overheat while charging at times. I paid a premium price for the phone and I expect to get my money's worth. I don't think that's unfair.

I agree. i have searched and found a bunch of people that had the creaking sound when pressing on the screen. unsure why but my intention was to find out of it was common and everyone had this issue or not. i also have screen problems at times and that is when i called tmobile about it and at the end mentioned the creaking sound. the back shell is defective thats why its creaking. if i really wanted to start picking things to complain and return the device i would have done that for not having a external sd or small pointless crap like that or how the official case covers holes in the back. i also had pixalation problems on the screen. my biggest problem was just i had to press the screen a bunch of times just to get it to respond. we are paying $500+ for phones so we expect them to work!

On some units, yes. But not all units have these issues. I didn't even mention the lock screen issue when half of the screen disappears or the ring isn't responsive. I wouldn't mind if I only had one of those issues, but all of them combined got to be too much.

I see your point, but I guess what I'm trying to get at is that me personally, I read up a whole lot on every phone I get before I make that jump to buy. I have "a person" that gets the newest gadgets to me alot cheaper than retail and I still read up. So, if i was gonna pay $600 for a new device, please believe I'd have studied on it long and hard first, knowing all of the pros and cons, and weighing them out. Them making the purchase and being satisfied with what I'd bought because I made a solid decision after thoroughly researching it.
BTW, sorry to hear you got a bad one. So far, the only issue I've had with mine has been the fact that sometimes it takes 5 or 6 tries to unlock the screen cuz the icons move instead of the ring, so I can understand your frustration.

Did it have anything about the warranty? New units have one year. Refurbs come with 90 days. So if it was a new unit, it could technically say 1 year. I dont know for sure, just guessing. How's the quality of the replacement unit? Any scratches/blemishes anywhere? Thx.

No, it didn't. Not as far as I can tell.
It's not too bad. Don't see any scratches/dust/or whatever. The speaker isn't as good as my old one and the yellow tint is a bit noticeable, but there's no screen flicker. Other then that it's a pretty good phone.

The displays on both One X's are the same. You guys are already getting both cool and warm displays. Unless the spots are Teg3 code/driver related (most of the graphics-related problems are) you'll get them too. A note, the international forum is very emotional so divide an issue at least by two when forming an opinion.

Ugh... I don't get why HTC would use 2 screens. I ended up returning my unit because Rogers refused to exchange my phone.
It is really hard to live with the warmer screen once you see the cooler one.
People who settle for the warmer display are missing out IMO... The warm screen is nice... but the cool one is "wow" nice.

Remember the iPhone 4s had yellow spots, it was from the adhesive not fully drying, they told the phone owners to wait a while and it would go away. Could be the same case.

Cracked Housing Question

Hi Everyone,
My girlfriend lost her iphone 4s a few weeks ago. I've found a one x for a great price except the housing is cracked by the charging port. Is this something I should worry about?
Also, coming from an iphone, is the htc one x fairly intuitive? IMO, it's a better phone but my girlfriend is not as tech savvy as I am. Please let me know, thank you for your help.

Give her a few days and messing with it and she'll figure everything out. It's not like things are super complicated to find or do and there are plenty of "getting started with android" articles out there.
Got a picture of the cracked port? If it's between the port and the screen I wouldn't worry about it. If it's on the other side creeping towards the back of the device I would be a bit worried that a few more drops could propagate the crack.

I don't have a picture but I'm going to see it tonight in person. Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

You have your answer for the crack, but the change from iPhone to HOX is very easy.
I actually came from an iPhone 4 before the HOX.
The only thing i think she'll miss is Siri, its a gimmick anyway and there's voice to text and voice control on this phone.
Best of luck to you guys with the transition.
PS: You could also get the housing replaced if it bothers her.

Make sure to turn it on to make sure it boots. Also you should boot it into the bootloader (reboot the phone and hold vol down until the bootloader shows up). At the top you'll see some words like LOCKED, TAMPERED, RELOCKED, etc etc. If you see TAMPERED that means the phone is rooted. UNLOCKED or RELOCKED means the bootloader has been unlocked or relocked.
If the person has a custom rom installed on it, I would ask him/her to RUU it back to stock before giving it to you. It'll be helpful to your girlfriend to have stock software so she can find the support she needs for it without coming here to the forums being confused about why hers has weird bugs and isn't running stock.

I bet some one took that bad boy apart. That's the only way I have seen that particular area get cracked, is from taking the phone apart

You should bring an active micro sim card with you to make sure it works, been reading a few stories about buying used phones and people finding out later that the imei got blacklisted.

Did anybody else glance at this thread and think someone was asking about a crack house? Lol

Thank for your replies everybody. I picked up the phone and I have to say, I'm using a galaxy s3 right now and the one x's screen is definitely sharper - I much prefer it. More importantly, my girlfriend loves the phone.
I ran into a bit of luck as the random I thought I was meeting up with turned out to be a friend of a friend. He seemed pretty honest about everything and the crack isn't really that bad at all. He gave me the receipt as well, puppy is on warranty till june 2013.
I never thought I'd be jealous of my girlfriends phone but I think I am a little.

Says something about the purity of your mind doesn't it?

Just an FYI your warranty is for the person who bought it only... But nothing you can't fix
