Gonna have to say I've had my phone for around a month now and I'm still impressed.. I had posted my initial thoughts and comparing it to my EVO and I haven't changed my mind much. I'm loving the battery life.. compared to my EVO I can definitely last a solid day with medium use and not be worried about having a charger around. Pixel density still slightly bothers me.. but I'm accepting it. Speed wise seems as peppy or peppier than my EVO.. I had loaded many roms to improve usability and esthetics on the EVO and other than the MIUI interface I'm liking Samsungs take.. or yet mildly unfettered Android 2.2. I am excited at getting to load MIUI on this. It's great that at stock this phone is as good or better than my custom rom'd EVO in most aspects of at least how I use it. It also feels great in the hand....
I think the only phone that's gonna stand out enough that I'm gonna be tempted will be the Palm Pre 3... other than the lack of apps for WEBOS it's the best bloody mobile OS out there.... Period!
Good to see that you like it. great phone!

I have to completely agree, there are a thousand threads in this section about how people hate this phone blah blah blah.
I happen to LOVE this phone, as a matter of fact, its the best android phone ive owned to date. Much better than the Evo. Im not buying any new android phones unless its super amoled or better, Ill take the super amoled on this phone over an LCD any day, even with the sub pentile matrix..
Cant wait to see the galaxy s2. I cant imagine a phone operating better than this with a better bigger display.
Not a fan of the TW launcher, but launcherpro fixes that and makes thing much more speedy anyways

I agree with you man cant see my self with a phone with a phone that dosent have a screen as good as this phone... And yes for a bit there in the biggining i hated this phone and talk smack about getting the G2x or the EVO 3D but then i thought about it and its not the size that matters is how you use it...
Only phone that could make me drop this phone now would be the SGS2 or the SGS2 3D( it is coming just sit back and watch )...

Well I'm glad I posted .. good to hear others liking their phones as well.. thought I might get lambasted but thought the s4g deserved some respect.
Man it's good to see this kind of thread. The "Samsung sucks, vibrant sucks, sgs4g sucks" threads are getting old. I can understand where people are coming from but that doesn't make it any less annoying. I loved my vibrant and the only reason I went to the sgs4g is because tmobile offered it to me w/full upgrade discount (because of gps issue). I sold my vibrant for $300 on ebay. I have to say, so far, I'm glad I did. I am a little worried about internal storage, but that's nothing a nice new shiny rom won't fix.
I love the speeds. At my house with the vibrant I was averaging about 3.5mbps. Now in the some spot with the sgs4g I avg 9.5, quite often I hit 12.5.
I hope the vibe of these forums stay with this type of attitude, and we don't get like the "vibe" of the other forums.
I look forward to what's to come for this phone with some voodoo! That would make this phone perfection IMHO.

right! you dont need the voodoo fix on the gs4g, it uses a different memory architecture than the original vibrant.
as far as internal memory goes, look in the dev section for a thread called rom deleted. There is a small fix that will free up about 250+ megs of memory available to the system. Its called the FOTA fix. Works like a charm, it gets rid of the files that are housed in the system for the automatic updates.

That's what I've heard, but it still seems a little laggy. Does it not to you? Like home screens and opening menus. And I know quad scores don't "mean anything", but it's getting half what my vibrant + voodoo was. It just doesn't seem as zippy as ext4.
On the FOTA fix, is that something that we may need at a later date, or is it easy to just add back.
Thanks for the help.

get rid of TW, its slow as hell compared to Launcher Pro and other 3rd party launchers.
As far as the fota fix, im pretty sure well be fine without it as once your rooted youll want to wait for roms from the devs once cwm is working anyways
I just recently switched to Go Launcher and have put the other lanchers away.

I'm sure almost every single one of in here debated on waiting for the sensation but strayed away because the locked bootloader...
But wait HTC is going to start only making unlocked bootloader android phones now... what do u guys think.. will u be selling ur g2x or....

I'm not going to make that decision until a few weeks after the Sensation drops. I'll wait to see reviews on...build quality...how fast it is...dev support etc...
I'm really happy with the g2x though...so, I won't be going anywhere unless the Sensation is clearly very superior. And I don't anticipate that...
I believe, even though they are saying they will not continue with locked bootloaders, that the Sensation's bootloader is indeed locked.
So it's going to come down to waiting for someone to unlock the bootloader, or waiting for HTC to do so, if they will do it for the device.
Personally, I won't be changing as I am not a fan of HTC devices at all.
Yeah I don't think the sensation will be unlocked and from what I have read it wont stand up to our g2xs but future htcs such as doubleshot and more will be unlocked bootloaders which kinda makes me have hope once again in HTC although I've always been a fan. Until the locked loaders and was very annoyed with the hd7 HTC lost points for that

Ummm...someone is off their meds...
So, we need an English lesson...let's review...there are many definitions, but this is the one I was primarily using.
Review: (noun) An inspection or examination for the purpose of evaluation.
Reviews of real usage from real users are indispensable. The type you might find in the XDA forums....where issues like screen bleed, random reboots, locked bootloaders, etc... are reviewed and discussed. Spending $500 on anything without reviewing the subject is just...stupid.
If you need clarification as to what I'm talking about, next time ask before you open your ass and start with the insults.
As for an Iphone...I wouldn't touch one with your slimy green weenie.
Oh, and Locked Bootloader = Not Buying....Thanks for reviewing that issue for me Dameon.

ha ha! Aren't you glad he's gone? He was taking all the fun out of this forum...
Sensation is auto fail because of the screen tech. I can see my g2x in direct sunlight.
G2x with CM7 and trinity kernel
Sensation most likely
Im outside of my 30 day buyers remorse period, however I have had it with the constant freezing and rebooting of the phone. I understand new devices come with bugs but seriously when its happening daily I dont consider it a bug I consider it broken. Tmo is giving me the run around about getting the phone returned but in the end the customer usually always wins.
Ill go back to my N1 until the Sensation comes out, who knows maybe the Sensation will suck and I can hold off until the SGS II is released. This all hinders on me actually staying with Tmo at this point. Verizon is looking better and better every day.
Htc is my favorite manufacturer. it's going to be near impossible to not be sitting at t-mobile when the store opens june 8th. If the Sensation becomes available before then online, I'll but it then, especially since htc announced their bootloaders will be unlocked.

Imo, the mt4g is one of the beast single core phones out. It's not really fair to compare it to a dual core. The hd2 is a best of a phone, especially considering it's age. Samsung phones feel cheap, and plasticy in my hands. I prefer to feel the weight of a phone.

It would be impossible for me to say what phone I would be getting next without using it. It's interesting how many people fall in love with devices based on specs and online reviews. Each handset comes with hidden features and bugs that usually make or break whether they are for you.
I am fortunate enough that I get my hands on most devices and get to take them for a spin for a few days, root them and try flashing some goodness. Most of my friends are tech junkies with more $ than common sense or skills so they just buy whatever is the latest and greatest, try to sell me on how awesome it is before they ever touch it, and then hand it off to me to root and install CWM or whatever is available for them. After purchasing my Vibrant I used at least 6 other handsets that were supposed to be better but had some sort of tradeoff I was unwilling to accept. Finally came the G2X and even though the tradeoff was getting rid of the amazing SAMOLED screen, which I still miss, the benefits were finally great enough to move on.
Now comes the Sensation, which looks great on paper (except for the internal storage), but is it really THAT much better than the G2X? I will reserve judgement until I get a crack at it, but it very much comforts me to know that some of the best developers on the net have a G2X, it is very easy to flash new roms as well as restore to stock condition, and because it launched with a vanilla OS it will/should receive updates sooner and more frequently. These last things mean a whole lot more to me than an extra LED for flash, .3" of screen, and .2Ghz. I also suspect that the Tegra II chipset will receive more love from the gaming community.
this vid is the same experience i had with the sensation and thats why i got rid of it! watch the video , and man talk about screen bleed! check out 1:42 i am glad to own a g2x i love this device, there is too much complaining going on. this phone is definitely the baddest

I agree, there were too many people whining about the screen bleed that was never noticeable in normal use. Sensation has no screen bleed but like I said when it first came out, the screen looked washed out to me and this video just confirms it. I never gave up on my g2x and I am glad I stuck it out.

All the whining was half the reason I got a sensation, but three sensations later I was begging for my g2x back..
I'll admit there is a bad batch, but its worth exchanging till you get a good one..
This phone should hold me over till quad core although getting the sgs2 probably, but I still see this being my main phone.
This phone is a ****ing beast for sure..

My wife hasthe sensation and while I think its one of the better phones I am glad I stuck with my G2x also. Screen bleed is pretty bad and battery life is way worse than the G2X. My main problem is how flemsy it feels. The back of the phone comes all the way off to get to the battery which leaves a bunch of hollow space between the top cover and screen. So when making screen solection the phone smooshes like a sponge and creeks lol. The [email protected] feels like a much firmer phone imo.

Unibody designs are a terable idea and contribute to its poor WiFi performance. Both HTC and LG have been added to my list of manufacturers I will not buy from for atleast a year. Neither one of them know how to optimize or create drivers for their devices. To give you a little hint of how much Sense brings down the hardware on the Sensation.....After deleting Sense and the rest of the bloatware and running a custom ROM, my Quadrant score jumped to a score over 3000. Really the only manufacture UI that doesn't lag a phone out is Touch Wiz. I give props to Samsung for that.

I went to my local Tmo store fully intending to purchase the Sensation off contract. I wanted the larger screen and higher resolution. The crappy screen quality was a major turn off. I visited four different stores and the result was the same. Washed out blacks and poor color. Combined with all the other major issues the Sensation has, why would anyone switch? It is slower and the quality flat out sucks. Doing a little reading on Sensation forum tells me HTC is outsourcing their screens to the cheapest, crappiest manufactures available. HTC screwed up big time by going cheap on the screen quality.
HTC Sensation = fail
I hope they get it together because I loved my HD2 and expected better from HTC.
Isn't it a qhd screen? I came from att and an atrix which had a qhd screen...while the resolution was a lil better it was a crappy screen. Washed out. Color reproduction was terrible. Yellow looked brown. Coming from a super amoled it was very disappointing. I would have to say I think the ISP display is the way to go. It has a good balance of color and brightness. Black levels are not as good as amoled but at least whites are white and not yellow

I don't mind the screen at all. I was one of the lucky ones who got the Sharp display and not the Acer display that most people are seeing. The Sharp display is much better. Although, I really could care less about contrast or color reproduction on my 4 inch display. Where I do care about contrast is my 55 inch LED TV. I care more about text clarity on my cell phone since there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not reading blogs, ebooks, email, SMS and websites. In fact, after looking at my Sensations display for a couple days, my G2X display appears blurry with jagged text.
The only thing I absolutely hate about this phone is Sense. Which is exactly why I deteleted it. However, even when Sense was there, the Sensation still loaded and interacted with apps faster than my G2X and the gamd I play on a regular basis looked better as well.
In the end, I chose to use the phone that I liked better. I tried liking the G2X since I spent money on it and got the Sensation for free but I just couldn't anymore.
I was about to go back to the G2X because the phones UI lagged with Sense but then it got S-Off and after Sense was removed, the phones UI became as fast as my G2X.

Ok, so, let me start by saying, you must have a non defective unit for this lol... To love it.. I've had both defective and non defective and its night and day..
I love my g2x (had one since release give our take a few Weeks for the crapsation). This phone is rock solid. I love the speaker on the bottom under the awesome grill. The stand alone hdmi port is great for still needing to charge while using it. The iPs display at 4 inches is the perfect size, it has a amoled like color with sharpness in texts amoled doesn't give... I could go on and on, but I just wanted to state that i'm sticking this beast until I get my hands on a quad core. Nothing else is a upgrade...
Did mention the awesome games? Try sprinkle on this.. Smooth as a hit of Sativa..
no haters....
I love my g2x, ordered it minutes after it was available online. It works great never had any issues with it.
Best Phone ever!!
I like my G2x as well (love is way too strong a word here) but I would like it even more if the FFC were of any use, if the A2DP worked, and if the promise of vanilla Android leading quick updates had been kept.
So yea, I'm looking forward to something better.

Bad dog no bone..lol yes I even make love to my g2x..
Haha What up smash, hey that's aight I can get used to these kind of threads u know, not all these stupid "should I get a sensation" threads, anyways I had mine since launch and I love it man it is pure beast, I appreciate my phone LOL let me tell u why, cuz I was using my sisters mytouch 3g and that thing is slow as balls, g2x smokes most phones today IMO all
Yes, my phone is More Gangsta than yours...
Yes, my phone is a beast. Just before meetings start, I used to whip out my n900 playing angry birds and everyone else would eventually look for it on their iPhones, They moved to android based phones...THEN While everyone whips out their verizon driod X2, their ATT android phones and show off angry birds...whip out my phone and I show off Backbreaker...and sit it on the table and the meetings start...
Everytime I whip out a phone, amazement sets in... 'What kind of phone is that, it's so thin, sounds good, is that an HDMI port at the top, that looks like a 'droid' <-- c'mon folks is my normal response...Droid's were on Star Wars, android devices are phones and tablets maybe even a microwave or refrigerator. So STOP CALLING THESE ANDROID phones 'Droids'...
I sit it down, meeting stops, The glare from the side in shear amazement, because they can read my text messages from 4 feet away...
I say the same thing...My phone is awesome. Basic android Friggin great!
Welcome to the club. I also enjoy the hell out of my G2x!

Ok, so, let me start by saying, you must have a non defective unit for this lol... To love it.. I've had both defective and non defective and its night and day..
I love my g2x (had one since release give our take a few Weeks for the crapsation). This phone is rock solid. I love the speaker on the bottom under the awesome grill. The stand alone hdmi port is great for still needing to charge while using it. The iPs display at 4 inches is the perfect size, it has a amoled like color with sharpness in texts amoled doesn't give... I could go on and on, but I just wanted to state that i'm sticking this beast until I get my hands on a quad core. Nothing else is a upgrade...
no haters....

Right there with ya. I've been on board with the G2X since early on. Got mine back at the end of April. Definitely love it, as much as one can love a phone. Lol
Thanks for this thread smashpunks. I know some people have legitimate issues with their phones. But it's nice to hear the other side of things too.
Love my g2x to death too just rooted and flashed to bionic rc1
After Gingerbread all is well for me!

Love mine even though it has screen bleeding. Just rooted and flashed Cm7.
the g2x is fine but i was watching the stock market and saw a lot of double purchases g2x stock and ky. so that is a little worrisome. im not buying any used g2x's.
Masters of redundancy here. How many times do people feel entitled to review a device? Or is this a cheap attempt to keep things alive in the G2x forum by prevoking argumentation since that is all these sort of threads ever amount to? From someone that makes it quite clear they are a frequent visitor of the g2x forums making yet another one of these threads instead of contributing to the plethora of similar ones screams "I want attention."
And since some are going to cry 'troll,' I'll say my piece: this phone is powerful but needs a "Some assembly required" sticker on the box. Other than that I stuck with this device thru my woes for a reason & I see nothing comparable to it despite its flaws.

i REALLLY WANT THIS PHONE
ONLY thing bothering me is random reboots
this phone has everything, looks good, vanilla android, great internal memory
this phone is perfect even better than galaxy s2 IMO
i know some are a good batch but im still skeptical about buying one afraid of getting a defective unit

Take a look at the popular game downloads, read a few messages, and see how many don't run correctly on the GSII and sensation. I am sure its a wonderful phone and whatnot, but software does not seem to work with great compatibility. Beyond running Tegra games, the Tegra runs all games with better compatibility.
See anyone posting that there favorite games don't work?
G2x is fastest on gaming benchmarks still.
Even i am loving my T-Mobile G2X so much.
In-spite of being purchased an used one off ebay, my phone didn't have any issues.
No reboots, no screen bleeding etc.
Very happy.
Just point me to a place where game discussions are happening around this mobile phone.
Just got my replacement. Haven't had one reboot yet. Battery is about 20 hours on stock gb . Lovin it.

Hey guys Nub here. yea i saw the other thread about which to get but i want to change it up a bit. if its still to similar someone will flame me and ill delete... prolly. anywho
So i woke up this morning to my poor lil Nexus 4's alarm yelling at me. Went to swipe it off but no go. realized that the screen had a edge to edge crack about 45 degrees. musts fallen off my desk due via vibration and landed so perfectly on my lamp learning against the wall. had a case and a protector on it so i guess i had a stroke of bad luck. now no touch will register cept a tiny tiny corner that wont even unlock it.. after playing with it all i can do is turn airplay mode on and off, cant even wipe data on the phone because of my touch Twrp recover... lol. really? btw its a 16gb sexy black
Thats my end of my nexus. Im selling for parts or repair if anyone wants it. lets say ill start at 150 and highest bidder wins? pm me or post on the thread.
BUT i really am on my way to either grabbing a S4 HTC one or Xperia Z
Im almost done doing my research. id get the N4 again but im a geek who loves trying it all out. so i need a little push. thats where you come in XDA
edit:
I care about looks and customization. i dont care what comes stock as ill throw a cooked up rom on there. If you think one has a better selection for roms or mods leme know.
I did my spec search and review hunt even the unboxing and thought video watching. but its still alot of money for a college kid to be throwing around so i just want to make sure i wont regret it. after reading all i can i turn to the last place my thoughts can be settled.
also i am using att of course im gunna unlock it but im getting this phone through tmobile as a gift from my girl. so id like to use 4g. if you know any issues with unlock from tmob please let me know
XDA fokes please. if you can give me some reasons why you would get either of the phones id love to read your thoughts or tips.
Im mostly looking for sweet hacks or mods made that i dont know baout the phones. or even apps or features that might make me nerdgasm. Imagine a debate. your defending the phone of your choice.
this is what i think right meow.
Galaxy s4 - I love the mad specs, i bet i can crank that baby so bad it'd melt my hands. but i hate the buttons and the plastic...but i like the screen size at least.
HTC one - Im not a fan of the 2 buttons. i like having a menu button or no buttons at all for pie or gestures. Styles ok specs r tasty but not a fan of the cam really. this is my second choice. plus i had my share of a 4.7 display.
Xperia Z - was never a fan of waterproof phones, seemed like a gimic. but this is my first choice, besides the nexus 4 it does not waste space like other do for touch buttons i can utilize all of that yummy 5 inches for what ever i want. and i will trust me. the waterproofing is a plus, im talking bout anime in the shower xD. spec r ok im willing to settle for 1.5 because it looks sleek comes in purple and is not plastic.. dig the screen size. sony usually makes nice devices but shatty software. i think i can solve the software problem because well xda is here to back me up .
Thanks for your guidance you guys. unless this thread gets shut down due to copycattin. <3

oh dang ok... now im leaning towards the one. hah see this is somthing i was looking for. thanks too bad its still a 4.7 screen really want to try a big boy out but i guess its not a big diff.
S4, HTC One and Xperia Z are all old news now that the more powerful Snapdragon 800 phones are coming out starting with the LG G2. So if you want a phone that will last you years without regret, you would be better off getting a S800 phone instead of the slower and older S600.
Don't even consider a 600 anymore.
800s are the way to go. Apparently they will have native support for the always listening feature. Just like the Moto X. Which is not a bad choice. Neither is LG G2. Or the upcoming M8 (HTC One+). Note 3. S5?
No matter what you get it'll be outdated in 3-6 months, but if it was me I would get either a black GS4 or Xperia Z
