Hey guys, I know that this is the millionth post about this but I gave in and switched to the Sensation.
I could not handle the reboots and the fact the TMobile and LG left me in Limbo for so long about what they were going to do.
I just wanted to thank all the Developers that made the phone usable and all the people who helped me out when I had questions. The G2X is truly a great phone and I hope that it comes back truly stronger with the Gingerbread update. Again. Thank you.

Well, I own both...and unless the news out of LG is totally bad..I won't be switching. It's slower and sexier and has the same problems every other phone has...
Both are good phones...I doubt the lack or reboots was the final decider. Its a Nexus style body that is fast and cool, and new, and it fit nicely in your hand.
If you like it, you like it. If not, you don't. Next !!!!
I did a test... I handed my girlfriend the Sensation...she goes...wow....this is nice. then I handed her the G2x. She goes...wow....this is nice. I see your problem now. All of that without once touching anything on the phone....only holding it.
Would you own a phone that didn't feel good in your hand? I owned an iPhone...bought it because it was cool. I gave it away to my son because he wanted it. The phone felt weird so I wasn't overwhelmed by it. Looked at the iphone 4 at VZW last week. It still felt weird. Didn't buy it.
So, bottom line....this is NOT about quality, this is about feeling good !!! hahahahah where's that guy with the bridge !!!

Come on Tom. I am happy with my G2X but I am sure that the Sensation will not be pulled from stores for a month without any word from HTC and T-mobile . I'm also sure that folks that have them don't have to go through 3 of them to get a working one or flash a custom rom to keep it from rebooting. AGAIN . I love my G2X but at least the sensation shipped with gingerbread .

Sensation looks like a very nice phone, enjoy it, if I would ever look for a replacement right now if the g2x were to be out, I'd go withj the sensation.
Enjoy!

Yea, using the "S" word here is a no no. It's kind of funny because over in the Sensation forum, you don't see anyone talking **** about the G2X and trying to justify why the Sensation is the better device.
Usually when you need to start justifying something......well....you figure it out!
I have both devices and they are both great in my opinion. The best anology I can make is by comparing them to cars. The g2x is a lamborghini, the sensation is a porsche.
The g2x is faster and more exotic, but difficult to live with on a daily basis due to instability and "high" maintenance.
The sensation is plenty quick, just not as quick, but the great trade-off is that it is reliable and predictable.

I want to jump in here a sec, i have a G2X, im on my second one. First one was rebooting and driving me crazy, Amazon as always is awesome. Got my replacement with no screen bleed but it randomly reboots also, does it less but it still does. Called them up and got them to send me a Sensation. I've tested it before and saw some very minor lag, but the phone is a beaut. Come Monday i will have them both in hand and have 30 days to decide. I love the G2X but my wife who has a Nexus one and my son who has a Nexus S both tell me the same thing why keep a phone if you cant have it reliably answer a call or make a call. I'm tired of my wife and son telling me there phones are so stable. I know already, both of them where mine lol. Just last night we where watching a movie on the tv and the G2X was sitting there on the table and it just reboot again and my wife just laughed. Im so lucky to be able to just switch to whatever phone i want and not worry about things like reboots. LG you have 30 days to fix, HTC you have 30 days to unlock or i hear Smasung has a SGS2 i can import.

uhhh, I did not pick either of the posts, one is this threads OP and the other is what you wrote specifically to me. BS has a certain odor.
So you write to me telling me you like and love your G2x, comment on people who have Sensations, clearly showing you are not part of that group.
THEN only 6 hours later, you create this thread as a swan song that you are ditching the G2x and went to the Sensation.
From loving the phone to dumping the phone in 6 hours flat. I only noticed the smell because you posted by name to me, and you created this thread 6 hours later. So I thought I would ask you why you bought a 600 dollar phone replace a phone you had loved just 6 hours earlier.
Sorry to have a sense of smell, thought you might want to explain/bluff more....no need as yes they are both great phones, both with about the same level of problems, with the biggest difference being most of the G2x will be resolved and speeded up by 2.3 that the Sensation already runs that.
The thread you posted to me was on irony, your thread here and that are very ironic...I have both a nose and a sense of irony.

bro i was seriously thinking what the hell is up with all the "goodbye g2x here i come sensation" **** why make a thread about it! just do it we dont care i mean i feel for the people that have problems with there g2x but if your going to get a sensation good luck and we will see u later!...and man as far as gingerbread goes yea it sux we gotta wait this long but these rumors are out of hand nobody knows anything so what we gota do is just wait it out
I concur. In my opinion there is less development for the G2x then there was for the Vibrant. Who knows, maybe because a new phone is rolling out every few months.

Actually I saw posts on the T-Mobile forums where some people are having lock ups now where they have to remove the battery to get the phone to become responsive again. I haven't heard anything about screen bleed but there are a lot of people complaining about having washed out screens. There's a whole slew of other problems starting to be reported with the Sensation as well. It almost sounds exactly like the same pattern that happened with the G2x right after launch. I'm starting to wonder if something with the T-Mobile bloatware is what's causing these phones to have problems.

How you know half have left? By reading the threads here and then applying the 1/2 left theory, that means TMO sold like 20 devices.
Its dead here because everyone is waiting on the update. Everything else is like dead horse...how do i fix a reboot...wait on you know what. My battery overheats...wait for you know what. My screen bleeds....well so do people hit by cars, but you know what will fix that.
who would put the dev time right now into a new rom when a update is expected "by summer".
My son just called me and told me he's going to buy a sensation. I asked him,, does it have you know what on it? He said..."huh". So much for the really important things in this world.

One of the cool things about my job, is I get to break things. Up until wp7, tearing apart a ROm and finding out what causes problems was an easy thing to do. With the T-Mobile HD2, simply removing the bloatware made that device a better device. It was fun to sit and demonstrate a problem, flash a clean build, and watch the faces of the people around the table as the problem no longer appeared. I dated a TMO dev for a while...it didn't last.
Bloatware iis the #1 cause of problems, followed by drivers. I'd say problamatic apps would be 3rd. The primary reason for rooting is to remove bloatware...IMO.

At three months in the Vibrant wasn't "way ahead of this"...even with the relatively easy porting from other Galaxy S devices. We have good development for a three month old phone. With more devs showing interest daily...hell development is the reason I chose this phone. the slight pause you are detecting is probably the devs waiting for stable drivers from the Gingerbread drop.
But if you want to go...go..

I think its t-mobile's fault. until they adopt a new quality over quantity attitude and stop letting manufacturers have a turf battle with each other for the apple's direct competion crown we might get better phones. better as in tried and tested not the numbers war similar to digital camera manufacturers five years ago before ppl knew better. Better phones with even better support as far as updates are concerned.

I think you hit the nail on the head. We all know their WiFi Calling and My Account apps eat up data and kill the battery like no other.
I removed those the minute I got root and didn't have any further issues. I made a thread with all the crap Tmo put in there... even that scary LogMeIn remote desktop crap that they (use for support). Why would I want ANY one displaying up my phone on their screen other then me?
I also think that once they re-release the G2x with Gingerbread, the forums will pick back up. Remember you can't buy this phone right now. Most of the initial supporters are jumpers (they buy EVERY new phone that comes out) plus some that had issues and swapped.
You know thats why Tmo isn't selling the Froyo G2x anymore (waiting for GB). I think its a strong move because most companies just want the $$ and would sell a junk item to anyone. Ceasing the orders will speed up the GB update process (so they can continue making $$).
Oh and let me say HHHHHAAAAEL No im not getting a sensation. I think its a piece of crap. Stop the hate G2x threads.
Sorry about my mishap earlier on this thread, I cant leave this beast of a device.
Especially if Galaxy On Fire 2 comes out this month and they dont post pone it for a 3rd time

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...

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....

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!
Now that it is official I am not sure if it is the device that is getting me excited or all the hype around it. I really like the idea of the larger screen and super thin body. Wish it was qhd though. I guess with every good thing comes a bad thing......
Thinking the only way to get it without spending money is to add a line, cancel my 3D's line and sell the 3D on Craigs list. That should cover the both costs.......Anyone know what Sprint's max cancelation charge is?
Like I said, just thinking about it now and would like to hear what others are planning on doing. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a flame war......Just looking to see if people jumping ship have a better way to get there then what I was thinking of doing......

The SGS II will only be a good phone because of the Dev support. Samsung has a hard time updating the software for some reason. Gingerbread hasn't even been rolled out to the original Epic for god's sake.

Hopefully if we don't get trolls and people give there honest opinions this thread can stay open because I really want to see what people have to say and what they will be doing now that the device is official.
I have been with HTC for the past 5 years but if something better comes along I am not afraid to go....
Obviously no one has played with it yet but I want to know people's thoughts just based on the announcement and if they are regretting the 3D purchase....
Im all in, day one.
The thread can stay open if the trolling idiots stay quiet

The epics an exception. They can't seem to get the keyboard and radio figured out. This is the reason all sgs2s will be the sane and not have a keyboard lol. You also have to remember that update fiasco had more to do with carriers than Samsung themselves. The sgs had their updates right on time. I'm also curious about the op question. I've always wondered what would happen to your handset if cancelled within the first 6 months.

MOD EDIT: Goodbye
Well i guess it depends on you, I like a thinner device and i know it will have a better camera but I hatethe cheap feel of Samsung devices and.the updates , gingerbread is over nine months old and nothing official for the epic, so what would make me think they will get it on time on the second.device, same thing goes with the photon MOTO devices rake forever to update, that's why I stick with the EVO 3d but all 3 phones are great phones
MGS on my iPad

Well, google didn't have much luck with the nexus s at first either Hence their nickname the Nexus B lol
I won't lie the, gs2 is a beast of a phone. I also think the E3D has been underutilized so far though, this phone has a lot more potential than it gets credit for. Plus the Evo was updated to gingerbread around the same time the epic was getting froyo, it would have came before but HTC waited for gingerbreak to be patched before pushing the update.

I hate to admit it as I have been a die-hard HTC fan, but, as far as my experience is concerned (on 3rd E3D) I think they really botched this flagship. YMMV, of course.
So long as the SGS2 has a radio that is as good (read: no weaker than) the E3D I'll be happy. The Radio on the NS4G was pitifully weak, the E3D is no better...even after a few. I can live with this. The signal strength indicator can't be trusted on it's own, go by actual measurements and most importantly missed/dropped calls and roaming....and I miss and drop and roam more than ever. It sucks. I do love this phone. I will greatly miss the qHD.
I became fine with the uber-weak radio, but, the final straw is the increasingly bad power-on fiasco. Sometimes it does, some times it doesn't. Some times it will be plugged in with a green light locked up tight (requiring a battery pull and SD card pull) *AND* have a dead battery on top of it. It's at the point where I have a backup alarm set up. Yeah yeah yeah, if I need an alarm clock USE an alarm clock...well, no other phone ever gave me any issues, so, I'm going to say that it is not unreasonable to expect my phone to A> turn on and B> charge while plugged into the charger.
I've tried hard, I do love this phone...even the horrid form factor has really grown on me. But I barely use the 3D enough to really miss... I may keep the E3D, it is a rather unique phone, but, SGS2 here I come....Also, aside from touchwiz (which is easily disgarded) it is a nearly stock Android experience....and Samsung has Cyanogen on their payroll. That can't be bad.
I will miss you guys, I'll be back to visit though. It has been fun.

Honestly, I think its more insecure when somebody has a decent phone and has to make a thread asking for their peers/competitions approval to get the other phone. Btw, I have a nokia 1100. Do you think I should upgrade to the nokia 6630?
I voided my warranty and your mum.
The reason the new phone does not appeal to me that much is because it is WIDE -even wider than the Evo 4G. And taller too.

I see it more like asking the opinions of people you consider knowledgeable on the subject. You'd be a fool to not ask people who are very familiar with something when considering whether to buy it or not....especially when it's such a relatively pricey gadget. Take it as a compliment that someone (may) respect your opinion enough on the subject to take your advice to heart.
We are a community here. I doubt any of us actually give a crap of another approves of one another in a social context, especially when starting a thread like this (so long as it isn't obviously trollbait).
For the life of me i don't know why you won't take this into the correct forum...at this point you are trolling and trying to cause a flame war..go back to the Samsung website and dry hump a pic of the gs2 ..i mean its specs are unprecedented..a 1.2 ghz dual core...whoaa.. a gig of RAM? Holy moly...a wvga screen..omfg... This thing ****s on everything...there is nothing else like it..I bet it will load up webpages a third of a.second faster than the e3d and that is very important..mods pls get rid of this rush guy..he's been causing trouble for hours and its getting on everyones nerves
You guys know that instant feeling of anger, shame, befuddlement you get when you see a trailer for a movie that has already been made 2 times before?
And like... The 1st one wasn't good to begin with but it got a lot of "views" so they keep doing it...
Over

And over...
Imagine that, this thread reminded me of those crappy remake movies.

The dInc also got Gingerbread 2 weeks ago, then the OTA was stopped due to some serious issues with it. Those dInc guys crack me up. It's just something about the whining about not getting Sense 3.0 with it and their insane belief that the dInc is best device ever constructed. I swear, if I read one more post where the writer says something like "Sadly, I got a dInc2 from Asurion as a warranty replacement instead of another AMOLED dInc" (like they got totally screwed in the deal!), I'm gonna find them and shove that phone up their piss hole.
I actually miss my dinc a lot. It's a great little phone. Great specs. Great dev support. Only thing keeping me from going back is 4G.

whats your problem man? is it really that hard for you to not troll? do you really think the likes of you would scare me off here?...that's laughable and apparently you do not know my rep on xda.
What killed the Dinc was that it didn't have enough memory to run sense. I have a Dinc & a TBolt and I have 270 mb free most of the time with the TBolt and only 70 -100 mb free on the Dinc. The Dinc has a stripped down sense rom and the TBolt rom has most everything.

I dont have a problem, you're the one flooding the threads with non sense. All flames aside, why do you create SOOOO many meaningless threads. The other day you said you were bored, but please, spare the rest of us. I dont want to scare you off, really. But how many more of these threads are you going to create?

Futhermore, this is nothing more than a disguised versus thread. We have a thunderbolt, why should we care about the Incredible ota. You seem like a decent guy but geesh.

While we're on random discussions not about the Thunderbolt, the Moto Bionic comes out thursday. It looks kind of ugly shell wise and comes with moto blur :/. Nothing about whether it's locked down, but it probably is, since it was long in the works before google bought moto.

Best phone every tell that to me who went through 6 Inc all for reasons that had nothing to do with Rooting or dropping the phone. The phone over heated on a few of them and fried the board. Some phone would reboot and wipe my phone clean for no reason. I did get to keep the last phone which my daughter has as a video game phone so she would keep her hands off my TB, and surprising it been a great game system/netflix for her anyways. But I would have loved to get upgraded to the new phone as a replacement it only happened to me one time but I was like HELL YEA, and that was back when it was a flip phone but I got a 3.2 MP camera.

The radio from the 2.11 leak is freakin great. I know with the TB it seems different phones respond to different radios but I have seen more positive posts about the one from the 2.11 leak then any other radio. I got 15 hours of heavy heavy usage the other day after flashing a new ROM and that radio before I even changed all my settings to help optimize battery life. Plus my 4G hasn't cut out on me at all like it did sometimes before.

I saw this another website (can't link you to it, against XDA rules, sorry!) and it looked interesting. Give me your opinions, thoughts.
***DISCLAIMER***
In no way do I have any solid information from T-Mobile regarding the new MyTouch line, I am simply posting based on information from tmonews.com, and other sites.
According to sources (and a very convincing video posted by the guys over at engadget), the newest Manufacturer to add the MyTouch to their resume will be Huawei. It is said to be a mid range phone, however testers have stated that potential buyers should not be concerned about the device being mid range, stating that it is very solid, and smooth in testing.
My only experience with Huawei has been very low end entry devices, so I am curious what other's thoughts on this might be. Give me your opinions in the comments!

i just got the new myTouch last week when it was released. I had the one from HTC as that was my replacement to my G2 from Asurion. Have the say the HTC one was a piece of garbage. Worst phone i ever had, thank god it broke a week after i got it and i was forced to get the new myTouch. This device is everything that the G2 was but better. Sure the HTC cam was a really nice piece of hardware, but only the stock OS could run it and that just wasn't worth running.
I'm hoping to root this device tonight!

and what was so great about the HTC myTouch4g if you think i'm wrong? The 3 roms for it were barely stable. Had to remove my battery more than ever.

Even when they were removed, you still have to choose Maps every time you wanted to navigate someplace as it wanted to use TMo's subscription app.
