I hope this means HTC Sensation next week (June 8th) rather than the recent rumors of June 29th...
HI Guys
I got htc sensation (swisscom) branded and it is unlocked. I can see only swisscom logo but i can use every simcard. i want get to know when htc sends any updates in coming future, will my sensation receive updates with non-branded devices or I have to wait till swisscom send any updates? thanks
Let's hope. All the rumors have said the 8th.

Probably the smart move..but I love my HTC phones. I like the look of the Sensation 100 times more than the G2X.
And honestly, the LG is just too much of a hassle right now..

I agree. The sensation is one sexy phone. What I hate about HTC phones is their screen. Even though is qhd a super lcd will never show better colors than an ips panel. I love the screen on the g2x. The screens on my evo and g2 were pretty bad
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Ive had the G2x since day one, and Im thinking ... goodbye LG and hello HTC
I cant believe I got fooled into buying a phone by LG.. They spend zero time QAing their code, and we have to pay for that. I should of known better. Ive never had such issues with any other phone (and Ive had plenty of androids), as I do with the stock G2x.
This is when I decided that its time to go back to my beloved HTC and forget about the rest. At least they know how to make phones!
It would be nice to crack up the bootloader and be able to put custom roms, but all I need right now is a dependable phone, and the LG just aint it.
Plus Im sure the bootloader issue wont be an issue soon, looking at all the devs that are working on that phone...
And just to add one more thing - I cant believe that MDJ is working on ROMs for this phone... I remember back in the Hd2 times - that was the best ROM, and I bet its still that way!
Happy to hear im not the only one with a G2X getting ready to sell it on ebay. All the problems this phone have given me are just not tolerable, the constant restarts, loss of signal are nothelping, Given htc might leave this bootloader locked for a while and i do understand why aince htc watch allows you to buy movies which people can then distribute. Anyhow i hope this is released soon or let alone allow preorders.

had a g2x for 3 days LOL coming from a Nexus S (people were complaining about reboots on that at first as well) it was no where nearr as bad as the G2X ..LG build quality was horrible how can you release a phone and have it wait 4 months still waiting for the gingerbread update(that is suppost to ""fix all""") haha
sold mine on ebay after getting the unlock code from Tmobile for $440 like new shape... good luck to yall get the deal done SENSATION 1 weeeeeeeeeeek!

Yes, don't you love those announcements? "BY the 15th". So for all we know it could be tomorrow (which would be smashing but won't happen. I hope they don't sell out. It's what sucks about relying on others to get the phone for you
Maybe the extra week is to unlock the bootloaders on them? Still disappointed, though. Ugh.

You've got a point. Time will tell how it performs. Would you happen to know if the Doubleshot will have a locked boot loader? It could be a deal breaker for me. The new Sensation has it's boot loader locked. Apart from that, it's an awesome phone (missing the qwerty kb though).
So getting this phone purely because if great specs+ a keyboard! Im goibg to miss,my vibrants screen though

Yeah I saw that earlier tonight and am so excited. I can't wait to get this phone. I'm very used to the additional number row on my TP2, but I can get used to the ALT option that normal people use!
My first experience with Android has been playing around and setting up my wife's G2, but that didn't tease me enough. I bought a Honeycomb tablet last month (A500) and have been drooling to get consistency up and running with my phone as well. I'll have to get an app that records all phone calls, like I already have though. Any suggestions?
Haha, at least you got some action with the G2. My only interaction with Android has been through my colleague's Desire and in stores.
An app that records phone calls... there should be one floating around.. like this one - http://www.appbrain.com/app/record-my-call/com.record.my.call
Just went to the local store and was going to by a g2x for my wife out of stock while I was there, guess who a LG REP I probed her for questions did not answer me why no longer on sale, could not tell me but she did assured me that LG will. Be pushing an update VERY SOON.. what ever that means
P.s. she was not as hot as the LG girl

watch t-mo will probably say hey you can trade in your g2x for the new sensation. and watch everyone get pissed cause of the locked bootloaders and tmo will be laughing their asses off

Do you think there will be 2 updates: one to fix the current issues and the other Gingerbread, or 1 update that combines the two? I hope it's both. Right now my phone is on it's way here. I will test to see if I have the same problems as others have.

Update is any day now...they pulled the remaining stock because of two reasons...
1. QC issues with the first few batches
2. The update will need to be applied OTA so it proly makes more sense to do that in house then sell the phones....

I hear you. I want to keep the G2x. I hate HTC Sense. I don't want the Sensation or any other phone or I would of waited. They need to send out a major update ASAP to fix all the software issues. As far as screen bleed. Replacement with a new batch if LG fixes ?

Weirdly enough my backlight bleed resolved itself. It was pretty bad now its not there at all. I agree it needs to be fixed and I think they're just processing the boatload of returns they got on the device.
And the Sensation is a rather large downgrade from the G2x... The Snapdragon's graphics capability is less than half what the G2x pulls stock, let alone when overclocked. I'd leave T-Mobile if they tried to force a Sensation down my throat.
Me too lol I would not take a sensation at ALL!

Oh, I don't want the Sensation either. If I did, I would have already returned the G2X and used my Vibrant until then. I am sticking to what I said before and that is, I feel that the G2X is the better device that will hold me over until Tmo gets there SGSII variant. I have wanted that phone since I saw it.
I made my comment because I don't think T-Mobile would ever take our devices back, give us a different phone and discontinue the G2X completely. Thats a serious loss of revenue. No company in there right mind would do that. The most T-mobile will do is replace our phones with working ones from a new batch.
They can have my g2x.... when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. I ain't gonna update ****. My phone works perfectly. Even though I was a bit disapoonted with the can boasting 8mp and have suck ass features this phone rocks. I hope those who do have issues get some justice though.
"If Satan lived in heaven he'd be me.... "
Would anyone be able to link the post regarding the g2x being pulled? I'm just getting into the android world and the g2x is my first android device and I love it. I can't even find a example of the screen bleed everyone is talking about.
Guess I don't have the issue since I love my screen, but the constant radio bounce is annoying, so is the phone turning off in the middle of the night and not waking me when it's time to go to work. But that had only happen once.

Didnt we know this already? Isnt there a thread dedicated to this?
Like I said when I posted this link half an hour ago, summer is less than a month away! Though a few bug fixes would be nice before then...
I wonder if the phone will remain "out of stock" until the update?

T-Mobile may issue this fix at the same time it rolls out its planned Android Gingerbread update, which the carrier announced will occur sometime before summer.
Summer starts June 21st or something. So "before June 21st".
That's how I read it. Note they didn't say "during" or "over" summer.
this is tmobile we are dealing with and you know how the updates for froyo with the vibrant went. yes i know this is not samsung but you have to think it is tmo and it is possible that they didnt want to release it so i will wait until the end of summer when we will possible get it. so do not come on here on june 21 or whenever the beginning of summer and expect to have gb on your phone that's not how tmobile works.

Yes, but in this case a lot of customers are waiting for an update to make their $500 phones work. T-Mo and LG have some serious incentive to get an update out ASAP.
EDIT: If I have to wait more than a month or so for a basic bug-fix update I may look into a full refund under lemon laws or whatever.

yes that's true it is the companies fault but as you know if lg, htc etc sends tmobile gb with free tethering or something similar then tmobile will most definitely send that version back until the company fixes it or until tmobile can block the feature and they will also have to be able to put their bloatware on the phone so it is tmo fault if say lg releases gb on june 1 and tmobile doesnt get it out until aug because they want to bloat it up with crap.

Oh yeah! you mean the unfinished GB? I can totally see how that's ready for mass production updates. >.> yeah bro. Again I see exaggerated time tables and to much blame put on Carriers. They're the necessary evil don't get be wrong but their involvement is minimal compared to what you all believe, slapping on"non removable" bloatware onto the Software is more simple than you give them credit for. Agreed options like free wifi are obvious rejected versions but that doesn't result in multi month extensions.

Let me guess...Because the G2X is being discontinued they are giving you a Sensation for a warranty exchange right? If that's it, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. The Sensation is the only comparable phone TMO has, it makes sense to me. If so, you are sooooo stoked!
Dude... You know this is the sensation forum right? I'd they exchanged it, congratulations. Unfortunately the sense ui on the sensation will leave you wondering if the g2x is actually the king here. After root and fully unlocked bootloader? We all know what happens then...

OK, I just thought to myself that I'm not going to **** up my deal T-Mobile gave me due to my account having extenuating circumstances. Here goes....
On June 11th I called T-Mobile and told them I was on my 4th G2X and was having problems with it since I wanted to exchange it for a Sensation. The rep I talked to in customer retention told me there was no comparable devices to the G2X at the time but told me about a phone named the Sensation coming out on the 15th and that it would be a comparable exchange. He continued to notate my account and told me to call back after the 15th for the exchange. In between that time I went out and bought one with the intentions of seeing which phone I liked better before I exchanged my G2X. I decided I like the Sensation better so I gave it to my wife. Turns out she likes the Sensation better as well so when I called T-Mobile yesterday the person I talked to said there was no possible way for her to do the exchange but she did in fact see the notations on my account. She told me she would send an email to the guy who notated my account with "Exchange G2X for Sensation" and have him call me today. He never called so I just called T-Mobile and spoke with someone else. After explaining them the entire story he put me on hold for 10 minutes so he could speak with his supervisor. He came back and said something I wasn't expecting. He told me when I called on the 11th I was still within my buyers remorse period but the original representative I talked to failed to do the return and told me to wait until the 15th . I am now outside of my buyers remorse period so T-Mobile is eating the cost and sending me the Sensation. I asked the representative if I should return the G2X with all of it's accessories in it's original box and at this point he said the unthinkable. Nope, don't bother sending it back. There's really nothing we can do with it since the manufacturer wont take it back since it's past the 30 day period. So now I have 2 Sensations and one G2X. I am still trying to comprehend just how awesome T-Mobiles customer service is.
I had a completely opposite experience with their customer service today. I talked to 5 different people (around 2 hours total time spent with holding and all) about getting the SENSATION50 discount since I was unable to online and they weren't able to do anything for me at all. I've been a loyal customer for almost 6 years and it really puzzled me how they didn't offer me any sort of discount for all my troubles. I'm glad you got some better reps to help you out, though.
So you paid 250 for a G2X, 250 for a sensation, then got a free sensation? So $500 and 2 upgrades for 3 phones. Not bad man, congratulations on the super deal. I had a similar awesomeness regarding this phone. I won't go into too much detail, but I bought a G2X for 250, there was a return/exchange /error, so T-Mobile refunded my money etc., gave me a new G2X, and gave me back my upgrade, then I went and bought a Sensation for 150 on contract. So I paid 150 and one upgrade for two phones.

I paid retail price for the G2X and paid through an upgrade on my wife's account for one of the Sensations. On her upgrade, T-Mobile gave me the full discount with 10 months to go which is another plus for there customer service. My account is still out of contract. You made off pretty good too.

It's not that there not excepting returns for the G2X. It's just that they can't send mine back to LG since it's outside of 30 days.

They let you keep the G2x AND sent you a Sensation for all your troubles with that POS phone.

Guess I should have kept reading before posting my guess (accurate none-the-less )
So I dropped my Sidekick 4G and my screen shattered literally. So I found someone who is selling a G2X cheap brand new. Pretty excited especially since my Sidekick 4G froze and glitched a lot! So G2X to Sidekick 4G a upgrade?

Im going to do it. A lot of people are trying to sell the G2X for that much as well. Im glad I found this person selling it for 180$. Imma just hold on to this for now until my contract expires and then go to Sprint and get the HTC One.

That's what I'm doing. But its gunna be hard. My contract ends in one year. Ha. Well T-Mobile has the HTC one too. I also recommend u to wait fore the s3.

With the Sidekick having so many glitches and freezing Imma pass on any Samsung phone lol.I know T-Mobile is coming out with that phone also and I am not sure if it is any different then the one Sprint has.
having one crappy phone from a manufacturer doesn't really affect the quality of other phones at all. the galaxy s II is one of the best phones of the past year. the galaxy nexus is also by samsung, and is also one of the best phones around at the moment. what you should look at is the phone's category, gsII and gnexus are both high end phones, while the sidekick 4g is an entry-level device.
true. galaxy s2 and galaxy nexus were the best. probably still the best right now. but g2x is a good phone. you will have fun with it. once u get it, if it asks for a ota update, dont do it yet. there are no roms for it as of now.
Yeah you guys are right. Whats a ota update?

its the update that LG sends out. when you get the phone, you should check your BaseBand. if its March 2012, then stay on the rom ur on. u can flash other roms, but the calling will be f'ed up
The t-mobiel rom is very stable and very good, there is no need to use modded rom, none of the modes hold a candle to this update because of the firmware, driver and baseband upgrades in this rom. I am sure mods off this stock rom will come out soon and CNG will release their updates in the next couple of months however the stock rom is the best fully functional rom thats out right now only because LG fixed fundamental firmware and driver issues this round.

Phone is great so far. So should I root the phone or not? I have 2.3.3 right now. Give me some cool ideas you guys think I should try out. Also when I go to Software Update it gives me this error. "Connection failed caused by authentication error."

Have you rooted yours? Is it pretty easy to root?
I got the phone yesterday, I rooted right away when I got home.

Its easy. Just look up the tutorials in xda. Its just install drivers. A fail apx, update apx to the correct drivers. Flash clockwork. Then Roms. Loom it up
