This phone has issues. Tmo says no calls lately?

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.

So what's the deal with the unresponsive screens?

Is this a hardware or software issue? It's pretty annoying. I can't scroll or type fast anymore because the screen can't keep up. If its a hardware issue I bet HTC will stay quiet about it, but if its software related I want it fixed ASAP. I absolutely can not use the phone like this.

I noticed this too, especially when typing.

I've never had any speed issues.... I text pretty fast and it's smooth as butter. Scrolling is especially great on mine....pages FLY up/down.
Just to let you know...that's not normal for the Sensation. It should be fast.... on properly working ones.... like mine
Do a factory reset AND a battery pull...if it still does it, there is a problem.
Make sure nothings slowing it down....bad app, launcher etc.
Love this phone...would never need anything faster
Good luck!

I had the same problems so i took my phone back and got a new one. This one works great.

About the 1-week mark here as well. I actually kinda hope my replacement one does the same, as the AUO screen is grainy and unpleasant to look at with my sharp eyes.

I wonder also is this a hardware or software issue? i really don't want to return mine device because i know how long i have to wait to repair it (i am sure the retailer will not exchange it for a new one because this is Bulgaria where i live).
Mine is with SN: HT 15EV, Taiwan made, Sharp LCD and i have the grounding issue- if the phone is not in my hand i cannot unlock it...
I want somebody to confirm if it's a hardware issue and to know what to do- return it or wait for a fix

So far everyone been returning it, just in case it is a hardware problem. BUT! The one i got replacement for, is still sitting at my home (they failed to pick it up twice now). Out of interest, i pulled it out, started it and guess what-no issue at all, no matter how hard i tried to replicate it. I have done factory reset before and it didn't help. but factory reset + keeping it turned off for a week seemed to eliminate the problem. So i sort of look like software problem, but why initial factory reset didn't help then?

Guys, I had this problem yesterday and here's some observations.
- I had this problem after a long charge about 9 hours.
- I couldn't unlock in normal way. I was able to unlock only if I slide that ring from its left side when I wasnt touching the phone. Might be dislocation problem.
- I've tried with a different lockscreen app(GoTo Lockscreen) this problem didn't occur.
- Pulled out the battery for a few minutes then put it back like HTC said. Didn't seem to solve the problem. Then I've deleted other launchers and rebooted. That seemed to solve.

Mine has gone to the HTC service centre in the UK, due to this issue. Will report back as to what they do.

My gut feeling says software. The reason I say this is I also own a Thunderbolt which is running a port of the Shooter RUU and it runs absolutely buttery smooth. The Thunderbolt has 768mb of RAM, same as ours, but is using the 2nd gen snapdragon chipset (single core). So certainly its a far weaker device hardware wise but can run Sense 3.0 flawlessly.

I just wrote an article about the issue. If you guys could share it around I'd really appreciate it.

Yeah, good article. I'm on day 4, so "it" hasn't hit, yet. 2 questions: is the EVO S-Off out of the box, and is the one you tested rooted? I would guess not. Hoping against hope that when we're rooted and can get rid of the damn bloat, things will be majorly different. Second, what real-world benefit does Gingerbread actually provide over FroYo? I had thought FroYo was somehow JIT-optimized, but that GB was from the get go and would solve all of the world's problems? Can anyone explain exactly what the benefit of GB is, and whether it can/will not be a benefit until root? TIA...

With all these known problems, should I buy a sensation for a really good price?

Hello everyone,
Well after glancing this thread, I've noticed that there have been known problems related with touchscreen, dust, and battery life. I can get a brand new sensation sealed for 320 $ off contract. Is it worth it with all these problems? I had a g2x and sold it due to its problems and it seems like the sensation has more problems than the g2x. Also, I won't have a receipt so I can't exchange it like many of you if I have a problem.
I currently have a nexus S that will be faster than the stock sensation. The reason I want to buy this phone is because I need more space and I have a 32 gb sdhc laying around that I can use.
I know that the dust as well as unresponsive touchscreen will be a big annoyance. However, the price makes it so tempting.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

The risk is that phone may have death grip issue.

Almost every single smart-phone released within the last 2 years, android or otherwise has had a similar concoction of problems, either screen, dust, battery, whatever.
I've had 0 issues with my device and am amazingly happy.

Thanks for your input. However, my nexus S has been working perfectly with no dust, touchscreen issues etc. I just wish it would have a microsd slot

I would steer well clear of the Sensation until the bootloader situation is resolved. It is pointless 'downgrading' in terms of the performance you will get out of the box and pointless leaving a device that works perfectly for one with a variety of niggling issues.

It's a dice roll, and no one here has the facts to know what the risks are of getting a bad phone.
It has yet to be determined if the wifi and touchscreen issues are HW or SW or some combination. There's evidence that supports each conclusion. Battery life is probably related to usage, sync options, and some apps, so can be tweaked as on all phones. If the upcoming SW update from HTC resolves the wifi and screen response problems then I'd say the phone is probably worth risking. If not, then who knows?
Without knowing the exact causes and the actual failure rates all you'll get are guesses. My advice, if you buy it have a plan B on how to exit if it turns bad.

I got my sensation launch day, 0 problems except that the front facing camera doesn't outperform many other smartphone ffc's in low light.
You should buy that phone, and you should PM me and tell me how I can get one for that price.
Unless there's just one, then you shouldn't buy it and just tell me how I can.

I'd steer clear for now just because it seems like the stock rom is going to be a lot laggier than what the Nexus S has to offer. It's laggier even than the Evo3D, for some reason.
Chuck in the battery life, dust under the screen and the probability that you'll develop the touchscreen wonkiness over time, and I'd wait until it's been properly updated

No issues on my end.. phone is working great for me. I think the battery life issue is way overblown (power users who will never find an OEM willing to make a battery that meets their needs but is overkill for the average user). The tech blogs show the the Sensation to be above average and better than the other "superphones" I checked; http://www.laptopmag.com/review/cell-phones/htc-sensation-4g.aspx?mode=benchmarks&cids=2804,2800,pa

I find it highly convenient that you chose to link to one of the few sites that rated the Sensation above its main rival. I'm not saying the Sensation is a bad device as I would have bought one weeks ago had the bootloader been unlocked or HTC bothered to release a timetable for it. However the fact remains that the vast majority of sites put the Sensation second in every category bar build quality and Sense (which comes down to personal preference and at least you have the option to change things on rival devices).

So your giving advice and you dont even own the phone?
I find it funny you guys mentioned dust under screen like it's widespread issue everyone has. But truthfully it's not . Nor does every phone suffer from screen responsive issues.
I know these for a fact cause I had 3 sensations none of them had the same issues. In fact none of them had dust under the screen. The phone I have in my hands right now. Has been nothing short of perfect. I have not had any issues.

Not giving you a hard time, I've just seen way too many posts saying the phone was perfect for X days, then all of a sudden it started degrading. Same happened to me, 5 days perfect, by day 7 totally dead. Hopefully I'll get lucky on the replacement, but I'm only semi-optimistic.

Buy it and sell it on ebay ...you can get around $500 for it either way buy and and figure out what you wanna do later

Actually the 1st one had issues overheating ect. The 2nd one was fine I just wanted the sharp screen. I got the phone with my preffered screen and it's giving no issues 1 week in. But if you wanna judge a phone off someone else's experience or off a few bad phones in a batch. Then to each his own.

Should I buy the sensation

Hi everyone I heard sensation have so much problems but idk what problems or how bad. Currently I have HTC panache with 2.3.3 out of box in Canada which is same as mytouch 4g . Is it worth upgrade cause I can return my phone . I got it less than week ago. I had LG optimus 2x for 3 days so many random shutoffs so return that one. Please share your taughts.

I just bought mine and to be honest it's using an "immature" operating system.
With that said,it has the goods to really perform once the OS is wrung out.
TBH,my phone for the last five years has been an Audiovox PPC 6600.
It's been as solid as a rock.
I was really reluctant to change as the phone has done everything I needed.
With that said,I'm also a hardware freak...new phones...oh yeah.
I looked at the Atrix,but there was too many things about it that gave me pause.
This one didn't,so I bought it.....and I don't regret it.
There will probably be better phones in the near future,but for the money,this one's going to be tough to beat.....it's very versatile.

Great device with the potential to be the best damn Android phone in existence if HTC would just get off their asses and s-off the mofo...

if you really have to ask sombody should you buy it then you must not really want it, cause people can tell you anything doesnt mean they made the right choice for you wether yes or no, its your own thoughts on the phone go to your local dealer and check it out for your self no one can give you the best answer but your self

I am currently on my fourth Sensation with a 5th one to arrive in 3 days. All have had random rebooting-overheating- screen creaking(gets worse as time goes by)volume that just goes so low(randomly) you cannot hear it(when settings are on max) dour battery life, losing all signal at times and having to reboot to get a signal-wifi grip issue AND LOCKED BOATLOADER and the list goes on. If I had it to do over again I would not have ordered one in the first place. The phone does have enormous potential but its like the sport scene-so many athletes with enormous potential that never are heard from again or just never make it to the bigs. Having said all of this I do like the phone(it feels great in my hand) but no updates from HTC(very little if any word about if and when) and issues that seem to accumulating more and more everyday, make me quite hesitant to recommend this phone. I know others will state just the opposite and I am sure that is their experience. I can only share what my experience is and has been.

[Q] did anyone get tmobile to let them swap g2x for sensation?

if so, what did you say. i just got off the phone with corporate and all she could do was waive the 20 dollar exchange fee and tmobile is now sending me my 4th g2x.
when this new g2x is buggy like i'm sure it will be, what should i say so that customer care will send me a sensation instead. After going on a 14 day roadtrip where my g2x's gps refused to work i can't stand having to deal with this phone anymore.
thanks in advance

I did, and I got to keep my G2X. Story is to long but you can find my thread by looking through my previous posts.

Might be worth a read.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Trust me. Going through three sensations I realized the g2x issues aren't that bad especially on cm7... Read my previous posts also as JW. Mines a completely different experience ...

If you have returned it 3 times within 90 days on the warranty you can just ask them to exchange it for you. I think they call it their "multiple warranty exchange program" or something like that.

Unlike Smashpunks, the grass was greener enough to make the Sensation my daily driver. My G2X didn't have any problems by the way. I just like the bigger display, crisper looking text, better camera and the phone feels better in my hand.

Again OP. This gentleman has proven his sensation to be worthy and have non of the wifi issues I had. So moral of the story is. The grass isn't always greener on the other side, always, but you may find that green patch like JW did.. lol
I love my g2x. I would have loved the sensation also without the wifi and screen issue after a week. So if the both were flawless which would I pick? Honestly if I had no issues on either. I think I'd still go g2x. Something about the tegra chip that foking rocks. Also that extra dead space at the bottom of the g2x by the capacitive buttons that everyone hates, well, I love it.... this phone looks sweet. Sensation was a great phone. Just 3 bad in a row gave be bad joojoo.
Oh jw is right. The camera on the sensation destroys the g2x, not only in quality but features. Like the video camera can refocus while touching the screen, genius ..

A: Last I talked to customer care they did say something along the lines of "well, what phone would you want instead?" when I said, "I have little confidence that another G2x will be any better." But I never followed up on that and just got another G2x on the way. It's my first replacement, and now my phone is working fine again after the backlight got stuck on dim and then refused to boot.) So I may keep the original since the bleed is minimal and I've never gotten an auto reboot. I have had to manually reboot a lot to cure failing wifi and other such issues.
B: The annoying, but effective GPS cure for me was to get "GPS Test" from the market, it's free. After I turn on the GPS I open GPS Test and I watch as it gets a lock in seconds. If I go right to Google Maps or Navigon after turning on the GPS it sometime takes a long time or never locks. Stupid extra step to get around some lame bug someone should be fired for letting ship with the phone, but it's working for me. WMMV. Good luck.

They replaced mine with a Sensation. I refused to leave the store without a fully working product or my money. I literally pulled a chair up to the manager an asked him to fix it or give me something that works.
I certainly liked the G2x a great deal but the Sensation is really reliable and the battery life is fantastic. I really mean that. I would happily use a G2x again...but not until I can rely on it.
