Amazing Phone - First Impressions

I had this phone for few hours now and it is unbelieveable fast and responsive.
The screen is better than in my previous Galaxy S 4G and actually feels better and more responsive. The colors are unbelieveable and more natural than SGS4G. Black colors will not make me return this phone at all.
Thr speakers are super clear as well. Actually got surprised by how clear the sound is.
Data speeds and reception have been great as well.
these are my first impressions.

T-mobile has the best customer service of all the time. I called today and I was 9 month into my contract with 3 vibrants on my account. I was offered new g2x and renewing my contract. I told them that other lines dont care about this phone but they might be interested in some phones that are soon to be released. And the rep told me just call back and they will give me full phone upgrading option to my other two lines. Cant be happier and cant wait for the ups truck now!

Did you call to cancel your service or did you speak to the sales department?
In my experience, the sales department would never make an offer like that so I'm guessing you were threatening to cancel unless you got a deal like this.

I actually talked to CS first and told them the problem that I was having with GPS on my vibrant and then she connected me to some other department(customer loyalty I believe). Then I nicely explained the stiuation with the phone having GPS problems even after the current replacement that I had. And he asked me, if I might consider an upgrade and I just told him that I could give it a try to see if the next phone is better. And then I told him that I cant upgrade all three phones right now but I might in future. So I asked for G2x and he expided for me and devided $250 into four month payment + $50 rebate. (btw, I have been with tmobile since 2004)

loving it so far only 1 problem
so im loving the phone so far. coming from droid 1. havent been able to test the 4g much yet only 2g at the house. I do miss some of the customizations in my rom Sourcery from the droid one will get to porting it to this when we get what we need from the great cm. coming over from verizon obviously. my only complaint is i was under the impression the tmobile girl would come welcome me and she hasnt shown up yet

I had a chance to briefly try one of these out at the store today and was really tempted to just buy it. I currently have a nexus one so it's a huge step up. The only thing holding me back is the HTC Sensation which is supposed to come out in june. Do you guys think it's worth waiting for over the g2x?

Nevermind...

I read multiple posts about the Sensation having a locked boot loader. I dont know how long it would take devs to get around it but it might be problem at first for a while. I would also would like to see a real world comparisson with G2x.

Great phone thus far except I'm burning the battery much too quickly.

T-Mobile swapping me to the my touch 4g

So thought I was in the clear with this phone, I started having problems again. Called T-Mobile and now they are now sending the my touch 4g NIB. Umm am I getting the shaft here. Bottom line is I want a phone that works. But I don't know much about this phone and am afraid I'm gettting the shaft. I really think T-Mobile is the worst carrier ever!! I knew I should've went with a bigger carrier. Sigh :-(

As far as I'm concerned, you're getting ripped off. That phone came out around November or December of last year? It is also only single core as opposed to dual core, as well as many other advantages the G2x has over it...
I'm not sure of your issues, but obviously a working phone is better than a broken one.

The mytouch 4g is a really nice phone. Should the g2x be swapped for it? I don't think so. I don't think its a fair trade off especially since a week and a half ago they were giving mytouch 4g's for free on a new contract

You need to tell them you don't want that phone. You should have known better than to accept it lol.

Tmo offered me a MT4G as well, I kindly declined since I already had one. I just got my third replacement and the screen bleed is even worse than my second lol. Number 4 is now on it's way.

After 5 they offered me to upgrade early on the line so I said yes they let me keep the g2x which runs well just the screen bleeds...I gave in took the sensation for a second phone and hopefully when the update for the g2x comes out ill give my wife the sensation. Best option all the way around...

Oh man, working phone you would want, but definitely downgraded in terms of **** on the phone! Call them back! HURRY!

You're getting shafted. Tell them you want a sensation or the ability to upgrade to another phone. Screw a mytouch. A working G2x is much better

May have to do with what the manufacturer is allowing them to do.

T-Mobile is not going to offer Sensations to the masses. They cannot send the G2X back to LG since it's outside of 30 days and they would have to eat the cost of the Sensation. Some people got the Sensation but most are not. The only reason why I did is because T-Mobile ****ed up and notated my account with the **** up.

Thank you for the replies. I am not that techy I only know how to follow instructions lol. I can't cancel now, but will be sending them back the mytouch and will be giving them a phone call and telling them they can take the offer and stick it where the sun don't shine! (maybe in not in those exact words, but I will make sure they get the point.) I can't believe how they are not taking care of there customers. This is so frustrating, especially with all the problems that have arose with this phone. I had one Rep tell me flat out "sorry your stuck with it" wtf!? I love this phone. I don't want an excuse to get a sensation or anything like that. I just want it to work damnitt!

Tell them you want $120 and the MT4g and it's a fair deal

Even the Galaxy S 4G would have been a better deal....

If you want a mytouch, ask for the upcoming mytouch slide, not the mytouch 4g cr4p.

From a g2x yes its a major downgrade.
Having a mt4g side by side with the x the screen is inferior....majorly inferior. Colors are nowhere near as vivid when compared to the x. Hardware wise.....well battery life is good when rooted and running a good rom. My wife uses it and gets easily all day and she's a realestate agent and emails and calls galore she comes home with 35-50% battery every day. At charge time at night she's down to maybe 25% if she plays on it.
The hardware buttons are nice but come loose after a bit. I do miss trackpad tho.
Regardless its a serious downgrade and should not have been accepted by you.
ITS ALL WONKY!!!

ROFL...couldn't have said it better.
Anyway, yeah...don't let this stand.

I MISS MY G2X :( Im trying to come back

I had good experience with my G2x until it rebooted once a day after about a month, I then game it up for the sensation and loved it.
Until I realized I cant foking get wifi in landscape. Ive had 3 already and all have the issue. The 2 different type of screens suck, it has a screen issue, etc.
Basically im finding out that all phones have issues, it just depends on the issues your willing to deal with. ME, Id personally rather see a lil bleed and have a reboot once a day then have wifi Crap and Unreliable. In the next room it dies covering it.
DAAAAAAMN. are the G2xs good yet? Have they been in stock again? Im thinking about exchanging the sensation 3 more times online and seeing if they can give me back a new g2x, because I know that the sensations I recieve will still have this issue.
Im also wondering if those that dont just have a good router N, and I got G, so maybe thats why theres is ok and mine dies completely.
ITS TRUE, THE GRASS ISNT ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE. THAT AND NO DAMN ROOOOOOOOOOOOOT. I DIDNT THINK HTC WOULD DRAG THIS LONG. BUT I THINK THIS PHONE IS WIFI DEFECTED AND IS WORSE THAN ANYTHING THE G2X HAS.

At this point, I am very happy I did not make the jump to the Sensation. You would think finding a cheap, used G2x would not be that hard with all the goodbye G2x threads.

Sensation definitely has more issues than G2x which are hardware and not software.

Really guys, really. The wifi issue is huge. I didnt have the death grip with data, just wifi. Others dont but I think its cause they have nice new N routers or something. But where my sensation dies just by covering, I could sit on my G2x and it would never lose signal all the way down.

Selling my G2X and keeping my problem free Sensation. My G2X doesn't have a scratch on it, has never rebooted, has a decent battery (not quite as good as my Sensation) and only has minor screen bleed but in my opinion doesn't touch the color or clarity of my Sensation.
Make me a offer I can't refuse.

My son has a pretty funny thing going on with his...funny to me...not him.
He has a pretty cool case for the Sensation...works great, very minimal. Does not have any Death grip issues...case seems solve this.
He has WiFi Case grip issues In order to get WiFi in his bedroom, he has to remove the case.
So, go to work, put on the case, no problems. Come home from work, remove the case...no problems.

Wow
I hit up Youtube and there are tons of Sensation issue videos. Doubt any of those are repairable via software.
G2x + CM7 = heaven. This phone is blazing fast.

What kind of screen issues are you having with the Sensation? I might be interested in trading for my G2X straight up. Mine is relatively problem free. One time I had an issue with my GPS not getting a fix but a reboot fixed the problem. I've never had a single reboot and there is minimal screen bleed.

Welcome back
Great to have you back to the G2x side of the house. I just got into Droid after trading my iPhone4 on Craigslist for the G2x and the dude threw in 150 cash. Definately check CL.

Have you thought about joining the dark force? If you sold the Sensation the difference between it and the SGS2 would be about $150. Pretty much unlimited everything on AT&T is about $82 (plus tax) a month. If you're stuck with an ETF than I'm guessing it would be too pricey to switch. Just something else to ponder.

I am glad I got a less trouble unit and keeping it. I was reluctant to get Sensation after I tested it.
It seems that HTC phones have wifi reception problem from my touch pro 2, nexus one, and to mytouch 4. They have hard time to get signal from upstairs.

this thread has convinced me to pull my g2x off of clist. Kudos sir.. i shall be patient for either cynogen to get a2dp or for the fix/update from LG sometime before i die.
does anyone have an opinion on how the galaxy s stacks up to the g2x? I was giving that some SERIOUS thought.

[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.

Should I buy a G2x?

Should I buy a G2x or buy the Sensation 4G for $40 more? This is the only phone within my budget right now thats dual core, I wish I could get the Galaxy S2 but its nowhere to be found for less than $500 and I dont wanna spend that much.

And is the screen bleed issue appears at a later time or is it there from the beginning? I will look for it when buying but is it a possibility that it could appear at a later time?
Whats a good price for the phone?

I recommend going to the store, checking out both phones and going from there. Both phones have their issues and positives, so it comes done to which one is more of your liking.
Also I would think there is a higher possibility of the Sensation getting ICS than the G2X so that is def a plus for Sensation.
Good luck.
Hercules Hercules!!

I would get the SGS2 because its newer and it will more than likely get the ICS update. The G2x is a bada$$ phone but if you are looking for the most up to date phone I would get the SGS2.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I'm with the guy above me, I love my G2X but I wouldn't recommend any LG product to anyone at this point.

1) How much would you be spending on the G2X?
2) It's a very powerful, fast phone -- it does have a few software quirks and GPS lock-on isn't the fastest I've seen. Mod ROMs may be helpful.
3) Battery life has been quite good since the Gingerbread update.
4) The G2X may still get ICS from LG as stock, there has been absolutely no announcement regarding it not getting updated and it's just a mass assumption right now since, well, it's LG. Ignore the FUD, though it would be nice if LG would just say yes or no.

You guys don't say why you wouldn't buy it though? I'm getting it for $220 USED but mint condition.
I simply cannot spend 2x that amount for the Galaxy S2, I don't think its worth two times as much especially the Tmobile one with the crappy 1.5ghz Snapdragon processor.

My opinion is... Dont support LG (because they wont support you), buy it used or dont buy it at all

Im buying it used not from the store, thats why its $220... I would pay $220 for the SGS2 but it wont be for that price for atleast another year.

hopefully you don't get one of those that has a faulty chipset, where little to no matter what you do, your phone will reboot, get hot while charging, get frozen on black screen while attempting to wake the phone (screen of death), insane back light bleed... buying this phone used is seriously a shot in the dark as you won't be bale to actually test things out and then be able to return it... I love mine cause I don't have these issues. Others went through 3 or more before they got a good one or just gave up. Good luck to you.

The G2X may still get ICS from LG as stock, there has been absolutely no announcement regarding it not getting updated and it's just a mass assumption right now since, well, it's LG. Ignore the FUD, though it would be nice if LG would just say yes or no.

I can't perform any tests to make sure its not a lemon?

Put your sim in phone and try some GPS. see how long it takes. Also see what baseband its on. Far as reboot issues mine has been 100% flawless and I got it used as well. You can't really test the reboot issues unless it does it right off the bat.

Should I just pay $30 extra for the HTC sensation 4g?

Hang out in these forums and listen to the rambles. Then do the same in the Sensation forums. Should be able to make a comfortable decision by then.
