You know what? I agree with the rest of the people in this thread. How dare you vent in a public forum?
How dare you waste bandwith?

Its not trolling. It's a worthless thread. Its a forum yes however vent in a thread that already have complaints.
Creating threads just to complain wont do **** to change your problem. Also its bumping the important thread to further back pages

He is too good to post where others have invested their time for help and solutions.
And we are trolls because we ask that not EVERY ONE single person with the SAME problems make their own individual threads.
Clearly we are wrong. Lol! ¡!!!!!!!!!!!

By you blasting someone for complaining you are wasting just as much bandwidth as they are. Get over yourself!
I'm getting a Sensation. And I'll post about what a piece this phone is. I'm on my fourth and T mobile is "letting " me extend my contract and buy the Sensation for the contract price for my trouble. Gee thanks.
I was coming home from the Drs. office a little while ago and said to my wife as I played with my phone..."Aw ****, I'm just gonna' keep this one...." WTF? I must be stoned, it doesn't work. The whole time I was there, it would work on the Drs wifi, then not work....then it would work on the 4g, then it would not work. It was pitiful....three times it would work then three times the page wouldn't load. On and off...on and off. Just pitiful. It would not work in the car the whole five mile ride.
I love the phone.
I'm done with it.
But I paid for it and now I'm gonna have to pay for the Sensation ($200.00).......This G2X is officially for sale. with three batteries, a wall charger and a T mobile case. In pristene two day old condition.......cheap. PM if interested
Don't worry! I will write a new post when I get my 5th and 6th ones! j/k
I was frustrated and needed to vent! Most sincerest apology for wasting everybody's time!
Actually I just added a poll to make it not a waste of time!
I just got my third replacement ordered! It's on backorder until the 22nd so we'll see what happens! Hopefully it comes with GB already! Yeah, I know wishful thinking!
The reason this one is going back is because one of my speakers went out!
Frustrating indeed!

I hope the Sensation works out for you. I just bought one at Walmart yesterday and was going to decide whether or not to give it to my wife or keep it and give her the G2X. Needless to say, I can't do anything with it. After playing with it for 30 minutes it got hotter than any other phone I've ever used and then froze. After a reboot it worked for about 15 minutes and the second I opened up the market app it rebooted itself. I called T-Mobile and they can't do anything until the phone is officially released and Wal-Mart doesn't have anymore in stock since they only got 2 to begin with. All of the other local Wal-Marts didn't get any in. My only option is to return it for my money back which I will be doing tomorrow.
Side note: In the 30 minutes I had to play with the Sensation, I already figured out I would have been giving it to my wife. It is not as fast as the G2X and it's clear that Sense 3.0 is bogging it down. The internet browser is also no where near as fast as the G2X. Don't get me wrong, it will be a good upgrade from her MyTouch Slide but it's not a upgrade to the G2X (if you got one without bugs).
I know, I saw your post you dog ha ha! I just wish I didn't love this stupid G2X so much. It's makin' me crazy! I am so on the fence about the Sensation in the first place. I studied up on it before getting the G2X.
Like I've said, I chose the G2X......And it doesn't disappoint at all. Except when it's disappointing. If you know what I mean.
And I love the poll question!! How freakin' funny is that? Is this like in life in general or just about the G2X ha ha!
It's like the guy I was roadraging with yelling out "Shine yer head fer a nickle?" No fair making me laugh when I'm mad!

I don't blame you for giving up on the G2X. If I was in your shoes, I would do the same. I am starting to believe that the ones (like myself) who got bug free G2X's are in the minority and very lucky. To bad you can't hold off until the SGSII variant gets to T-Mobile because I have been reading bad ass things about it.
I know you lucky dog. My daughter is freaking having a field day. She thinks it's funny. Hers is just like yours....bug free. And I've tried to get it to do many of the things mine did. Her wifi is spot on. She has had a couple of reboots.
This is my 5th! They're replacing them now for the Sensation so don't even worry!

Have you deleted all of the bloatware? The only stuff I have done to mine is rooted, deleted bloatware and use SetCPU with the screen off profile. I know it's the bloatware causing some issues because last week I did a factory reset and before I could delete everything, I had the WiFI bug. As soon as I deleted everything it was back to normal.

I've seen similar local ads too. One the other day advertised rooting for $40. My only problem would be what assurances do these folks offer in terms of insurance in case they eff up someone's phone. Would suck to get a brick and a "sorry" back from the guy.

if its a LG washer and dryer than its ok to have someone else do it since a reboot during laundry can cause stains.
Things like this amaze us because we understand technology and this is an utter nonissue, but for a lot of people it just isn't.
It's like cars, to a mechanic paying for an oil change or tire rotation is absolutely absurd, but plenty of people do so, because they just don't understand cars. What is an easy job for me might be incredibly hard for you.

I've done this with jailbreaking iphones along with unlocking them to use them on tmobile. You would be suprised how many people want this done. I had about 10 calls a week. Only ended up doing about 2 a week for a bout a month due to the distance factor and people bailing. But still, i jailbroke and unlocked about 5 iphones and made a quick 100 bucks for doing something that i enjoy doing. I love messing with gadgets. Keeps me occupied for a while.
tl;dr: people pay for this all the time.
I would join in as well! There is a kiosk at tempe market place where the guy does cell phone repairs and upgrades/updates... it might be his advertisement haha... i actually had him fix my old tmobile dash (htc excalibur) back when the power button broke and he resoldered the pins to make the power button work again...
So I went to a few stores today that sells att phones. I asked everyone in all 5 of the stores about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note LTE, noone even knew about it as if it will be coming out 6 years from now -.- noone knew there was one even coming out let alone the name :/ it kind of makes me sad when the consumer knows more then the sales reps. They should train more in my opinion this was just my little experiance for the day just thought I'd share. Anyone else looking forward to the note lte for att?

Nobody in a provider store is going to have even a small clue about phones they don't already stock, this should not be a shock. And if you're on xda you're a bit above the typical consumer...
There is basically no benefit in knowing about a phone you don't stock yet from a sales perspective. You can't sell what you don't have.

In-store reps definitely don't know anything. Most reps aren't like us and simply don't care. I usually come across some reps who give out good information about upcoming devices. These reps are always over the phone as they have quick access to the database. Try calling about a general question, talk to them for a bit, and when you're about to end the conversation, pop the question.

Ive sold phones for five years in three locations. I can tell you most of us know about phones as soon as they are rumors. As someone said earlier if we don't sell it we really don't care. To be honest if someone asked me about the note I would kinda just try to end it fast unless we were doing pre orders as asking me about a phone I cant sell isn't making me commission. If it is slow though I will talk about announced upcoming phones for quite awhile. Also most consumers walk in and say i want android or iphone not asking specifics

That's understandable. Wouldn't it be better to actually care and inform a consumer of an upcoming device? By informing them of said device, they might wait for it and pay the $200 with the contract. I understand you want to make some money as well but I guess from a personal standpoint I would help the person that cares as much as I do.

If they are techie I will chat with them build rapport and leave them with a business card and an appointment only if the release isn't months away. The average consumer wants what their friend has and even if a better phone comes out tomorrow won't wait.

I even tried bestbuy lol and the guys words were "our phone tech isn't here today he will be here tomorrow from 12-6" I live 40 mins away from anything so its not in my best choice to go back but anywho I go to the same att retailer when I buy my phones. They know me there and come at me quick because I don't just come in to buy a cheap pantech crossover I'm there with cash in hand and buy phones straight up xD so they are always willing to help. When I went in to buy my Sony xperia play 4g I handed her my iPhone to Bluetooth my contacts, she looked at my iPhone and her exact words were "what the F is this" it was running wp7 xD Haha but in all seriousness I think someone should be hired in the certain area. It'd be like hiring me to sell cars or ovens when I know nothing about them, I feel like they just hire anyone :/ I went to buy a computer once and the worker argued for 30 minutes that 512mb was a gigabyte :/ I shook my head and took my business elsewhere I just don't understand... sometimes I wish everyone cared about a phone as much as we do... instead of "as long as I can listen to music watch YouTube and look at porn, I don't care what it looks like or what it does" :'( I honestly just want to teach everyone for free so I don't feel so smart and dumb at the same time. anyone else feel that way?

I agree. I've perused tablets in Best Buy and after engaging the nearest 'team member' for less than 3 minutes, I realize that I know more than they do.
It's the same experience when going to the auto parts store. There are some people who can carry on informed conversation, but 90% are the type who watch fast & furious movies in awe, and know nothing about repair or maintenance or they can only look up part numbers.
Basically, lower your expectations.
This is why I get mad when I've tried many times to get a job in those kind of places to no avail because I don't seem to have any big time qualifications to my record yet if I go into any outlet store and begin talking about phones, the sales rep looks at me like I'm making up things or shocked I know anything.

I have had similar experience with applying for jobs at auto parts stores. The 'now hiring' sign is displayed for several months and the staff changes about every 3 weeks, but I never get called. For a while there was an older woman who not only knew nothing about cars but she also needed help to use the computer program to look up parts.
I finally realized that these people will work for less money than I will because I actually know what I am doing. It really is sad that people with any level of technical or mechanical ability don't actually work at the retail level because they can't get enough money.
And don't get me started on the people who work at Home Depot . .
I have no past work experiance. I'm 19 years old have been the "bad" kid because I used to be a "black magic" hacker I've gotten introuble from schools best buys and targets because of it but now I'm past all that I do phones tablets anything mobile. There is never a time when I'm in best buy that I'm back in the computer/phone area and usually an older citizen is talking to a sales Rep about which one is better and the sales Rep says well product A is $1299 with 4gb ram touchscreen is way better then product B $899 8gb ram and so on but they go by the price as the sales Rep was walking her to the register I kindly walked up and said "hello ma'am I noticed you were interested in two different so-so" the sales Rep called the manager and had me kicked out for costing him the sale xD but they wont hire me? I have long hair and look like a "druggie" I don't do drugs don't have tattoos or metal on my body but yet they hire people who are clueless

I don't mean to overstep the rules of polite conversation but you may wish to think about your image. It isn't fair that we judge based on looks, but it happens.
*Edit - When I say looks I also means assumptions that people will make of others based on their prejudices. -*End Edit
Most recently, I applied for a job repairing projectors. During the interview they kept asking me about how well I would transition to an office environment. Completely Ridiculous! I would be working in the workshop not the office and I happened to be better dressed than any of my interviewers.
Basically, some people cannot see past their little world or people they can understand.
Man Verizon store by me they don't know anything. And they are jerks as well. Went to upgrade my moms phone and said she wouldn't get unlimited data with her Droid 3 so I just bought it from newegg called up and boom she got her unlimited data. Never going back to that store again. Hate how now you have to bring phone to store to get replaced.

If you live in NYC and you have or are thinking about getting a SGS3 head over to 46th street btwn 7th and 8th avenues. Samsung has a tent set up for a promotion to give away a bunch of stuff. I just happened to be walking by and went to the tent to find out what was going on. Went I walked up a guy greeted me and asked if Ive seen the SGS3 yet, I responded " I got mine on release day and its been rooted ever since!" the guy had a huge smile on his face and started laughing, he said "Well then ur VIP" he walked me over to a desk where they had t shirts, water coolers, key chains and other SWAG. Another guy then came up and started talking to me, he told me since I already have a SGS3 I can try to win a prize, he handed me a huge bowl with these little white tags in them and told me to pick one, then swipe the tag on the back of one of the SGS3 display models set up. I chose one and swiped it and I won a $20 gift card to AMC theaters (Dark Knight for free!). I continued to talk to the guy about the benefits of rooting, getting rid of the WiFi notifiaction and head phone notification, changing the toggles in the pulldown and their color and a bunch of other stuff. He told me that Samsung was not happy at all that VZW decided to lock the Bootloader and that they were releasing the DEV edition as almost a F U to VZW. He gave me a free shirt and I was on my way.
Anyway sorry for the long post but I had to share. If you live in NYC the promotion tent should be there for a couple of weeks, at least thats what they said. Go get ur free stuff!
Thanks for the heads up!
Damn why can't they do something in my area -- I'm on 23rd and can't get myself out of work long enough to go to Times Square. Will try to drop by some other day.

lol, I just witnessed an "Epic mouth foaming" full fledged melt down in a BB...
I started to laugh and the person gave me the stare down of doom, made me chuckle some more.
And then I asked the CSR if they had cheese to go with all the "wine" they just received... The girl teared up a bit and then asked if I would like to apply for a BB CC...
How does a grown person just "Melt down" @ 10:15 in the morning over a device that's not supposed to be released to them until the 10th?
To all the CSR's that are going to be yelled at, called names, need to get a manager or call the cops today. "We" as in the royal "We" apologize in advance. Good luck and please keep sane today.
My mom is coming in to get a phone. All she knows is that it is big, and she doesn't have to squint to see the text messages when the she doesn't have her glasses on.... She won't yell or scream at you. She won't complain about not having accesories. All you have to do is transfer her contacts and photo's. And show her how to assign ringtones. Please be nice to her
Big phones FTW!!!!!
This forum has actually made me feel bad for what the CSR's go through. I've always been more than polite to them (because who wants to help an asshole?) but I've silently resented them for not trying to be more sympathetic. Well I see why now, they put up with so much of peoples **** it makes them callous. I'm sure we have some members on this forum that are CSRs and I would love to hear some horror stories :laugh:
Thank you!!!! Lol. Its not always fun with some customers but they usually make for great stories down the road.

Oh well,..one of my friends said it as well as someone on the forum that the best part of getting a new phone is the anticipation. I've been having lots of best parts with all this anticipation!!
Only (6) more days until this amazing device is in my hands!!! I'll have all my accessories [static screen protector, Spigen case, 64GB Samsung Pro Micro SD] here sitting at my desk eagerly awaiting it's arrival.
We will be treated to some very Epic, Epic I tell you, tales of the stupidity and audacity of unreasonable consumers in the next 2 weeks.
Things I have heard people tell CSR's in a "loud" tone to voice their personal displeasure of not getting what they want on launch day of many phones @ the Corporate Sprint Store on La Cienega & 3rd in Beverly Hills.
"Well why aren't there any covers??
How am I supposed to protect my phone?
I am holding you responsible if I scratch my phone!!
What kind of Company are you??
I can't wait to move to another carrier
I want to speak to a manager
What do mean we can't call Samsung and get this fixed.
Do you know who I am
I spend "X" amount in this store every year
I need a Xanax
You just wasted an hour of my time
What do you mean I could have made an appointment
I have important business to do and I absolutely need this phone"
In my country........
Eventually police show up because a customer or 5 will call them even if the CSR's won't.
I have dealt with the same store for years now. They try to help as much as they possibly can and the majority of the customers appreciate them calling corp sprint and working stuff out. Maybe because its a corporate store or maybe because of the clientele. But Christ, some people are complete douche nozzles... Without any tack or situational awareness. But the CSR's at this store are definitely very understanding and courteous.
Heh. Any chance this is in LA? I've been on the phone all morning with an AT&T rep who's been calling AT&T stores in the LA area trying to find me a black Note 3. None of them have inventory, but apparently some crazy lady is calling around giving everyone a hard time lol.
EDIT: Turns out they do have the black ones in stock after all. Sorry for the misinformation!

Unfortunately, I have to get mine through an AT&T company store because they're doing an early upgrade for me.

lol, I just witnessed an "Epic mouth foaming" full fledged melt down in a BB...
I started to laugh and the person gave me the stare down of doom, made me chuckle some more.
And then I asked the CSR if they had cheese to go with all the "wine" they just received... The girl teared up a bit and then asked if I would like to apply for a BB CC...
How does a grown person just "Melt down" @ 10:15 in the morning over a device that's not supposed to be released to them until the 10th?
To all the CSR's that are going to be yelled at, called names, need to get a manager or call the cops today. "We" as in the royal "We" apologize in advance. Good luck and please keep sane today.
My mom is coming in to get a phone. All she knows is that it is big, and she doesn't have to squint to see the text messages when the she doesn't have her glasses on.... She won't yell or scream at you. She won't complain about not having accesories. All you have to do is transfer her contacts and photo's. And show her how to assign ringtones. Please be nice to her
Big phones FTW!!!!!

Not sure if you heard the news stories about two "adult" women knocking the crap out of each other at an apple store over the "golden" iphone. There just aren't enough of them so they started brawling. That is just so pathetic, it is a phone, you can order one and get it later on. Yeah I want my phone early, called BB, certainly didn't drive there to day and was told nope, the 10th. I was cool with that and figured it would be the case but hey it never hurts to ask.

Yeah there a few stories of people being .. people...
On the bright side my mom got her device and is a happy camper.Which ever CSR she dealt with was courteous and spent time showing her a bunch of stuff and filming it at the same time. Gave her a copy so she wouldn't forget any of the new things she was shown. She gave a $35 tip for their time. And bought the person a starbucks coffee.
