New batch of g2x out.

I have been waiting for a me batch to do a replacement, so I called today and asked for a new batch replacement. He told me that they were sold out but I could get a new unit, everything included like the battery and box for a replacement from the manufacturer. He put in the order and it was already shipped by ups with tracking numbers. Also I have two replacements coming, so this is exciting. The rep did say that yes there were problems with the current batch and that a new one was coming,i just got lucky because I specifically asked for a new batch. Hope this helps clear up some questions. I will update once I get them to see if they are better.

That would be impossible in practical world.
Let us know production date

Yeah, let us know how it turns out. I'm still holding on to mine before I get a replacement through Asurion, i'll have to ask for one from a new batch as well...

Did you call T-Mobile or LG? Reason why I'm asking is that it seems like my USB port is broke on the phone. I bought it at cellhub and T-Mobile won't exchange it. Can I call LG directly??

If you didn't purchase the phone from T-Mobile, they wouldn't exchange it. You'd need to contact cellhub or LG.

I'm not sure which one to go with anymore. A fixed G2x with no lcd bleed sounds pretty enticing, but then there's the Sensation with the possibility of root on day one.. and Kal-El is on the way this winter. Android just isn't slowing down, lol.

sensation having root on day one is possible but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you

Highly doubt this! I'm not doubting that you were told this but doubting the fact you'll get a phone from a new batch. I spoke to MANY T-mobile employees over the phone when asking for a replacement and I even asked for a new one from a new batch and they told me that unfortunately I get whatever is in the warehouse and there was no way to ensure this or specify what I'd like...

I understand that what the rep told me might or might not be true. But it sounded like t-mobile put the order through lg. T-mobile them selves do not have any phones,i am aware of that, but the processing was fast and I already have a tracking number. I am hopeful but not foolish. I will let u guys know as soon as it comes what the date on it is. The rep said that it will be a new phone not a refurbished one. is there any other way of knowing how the device would be from a new batch?

Same here. One even told me there was no way to get a refurbished one since it hasn't been out that long. I told her that was a complete lie and that I know of other people who got re-ferbs. Seems like every time I get told a lie or someone tries to roll my loyalty plan into a new plan it is by a female. No I just hang up and keep calling back until I get someone who sounds like myself. It might sound racist but it's the god damn truth.

Even I've gotten refurbished devices on several different occasions... I'm a female but in all honesty when I'm talking to the female t-mobile reps they seem to want to argue with me... I have however encountered a few good reps... I try to remain open minded but I have hung up on a few reps the dang "Chatty Cathy's" that think they know so much and wont shut up!

Seriously, I am really not trying to be a bigot, racist or sexist. I have encountered a couple females that knew what they were talking about and I didn't mean to lump all of the females in the same boat. What I really meant to say would come off racist but here goes anyway. As soon as I here a voice from a female that sounds like she's straight out of the ghetto I will hang up and call back. If the person sounds educated I will remain on the line and give them a chance.

Its almost impossible to contact LG. Look at their site no real links or tabs for warranty or contact on their main page.
When I needed to contact HTC for a warranty issue it was quick with an email tab- they got back to me the next business day.

Sorry, but you must not have looked very closely on their site. I went directly to lg.com, saw a link that said support (on the left), clicked on that, and saw a link for mobile phone support, clicked on that, and there are options for live chat, email or telephone support, all on the page. That took me about 5 seconds. Here is the link:
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/mobile-support/mobile-lg-mobile-phone-support.jsp

I thought I killed my G2x Tuesday and ordered a replacement. It was a refurb I guess (in a white box). It had really bad screen bleed so I just mailed it back.
I got my original one working anyway.

You are right. I got an RMA # from them now via chat. I have a own thread open for it now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096710
Only problem I'm facing now is that the phone is rooted and has ClockWorkMod installed. I can put the stock image back on and do a factory reset/format. But I will not be able to unroot or put stock recovery back on without USB. You think it's worth to send it in?

I'm sure they reflash them when the refurb them.

Good bye, G2X. Hello, Sensation?

This is my official letter of resignation to the G2X.
I purchased my G2X about a month ago, thinking that everything would be just peachy. This phone was top-of-the-line material, dual-core, HDMI, and everything I thought would be cool.
I have had this phone a while now, and I am getting sick of it.
It all started with the text messaging. I would get message after message after message of the same message, like my friends were text-bombing me. Turns out they weren't. I called T-Mobile, and they said that it was a "message database error. Our server thinks that your phone didn't get the message, so it resends it in hopes that it receives it." Well, it wasn't the server. It was the phone. I flashed CyanogenMod nightly onto the device, and successfully fixed that error.
Second, the battery life. The device drinks battery like a drunken sailor drinks alcohol. I couldn't make the device last a full day. No matter if I froze the bloatware and didn't use it, the phone would be dead by nightfall. However, through CyanogenMod, it let up on the drink-age, but not enough. Also, the CyanogeMod nightly would have strange errors with the battery display. It would lock at a certain percentage, then drop unexpectedly, and lock again.
Third, the GPS. No matter where I am, the GPS will not locate me quickly. If I want to get directions back home, it can find the directions easily. But, it spends 15 minutes trying to locate me. I drive and I drive in hopes of a location, but to no luck. Finally, as I approach my house, it kicks in and guides me the rest of the way. I just think on a phone with such processing power, GPS should be the last of my worries.
Fourth, the screen-bleed. Now, this is debatable, and I feel as though my device doesn't really have too much of an issue with this. But, I still cited it as a problem with T-Mobile, because it really is. When the screen is blacked-out, I can see white patches in the corners drawing into the center. Not good for such an expensive device.
Lastly, the heat. This phone cooks at higher temperatures than my George Forman. When I am trying to download a large package or watch a movie, this phone gets hot to the touch. The battery feels warm, and my hands get all sweaty. Not good.
I went into T-Mobile today, and asked if I could have a replacement or exchange. They said no. I had passed up my 14-day return policy.
I found it odd that the G2X was not visible in the store at all. Before, it had been placed prominently in the high-end-smartphone section, with a spotlight to attract attention. Now, it has been replaced with the G2. The store still has the cases and screen protectors, but no G2X.
I called T-Mobile and asked for a replacement device, it is all I could do.
One thing I found interesting was that with all the issues I relayed to the representative, she said none of them are issues with the device that T-Mobile knows of. I really want to call shenanigans on that. T-Mobile has to know about this.
My hopes are to get two replacements within 90-days. This will qualify me for a replacement with another phone of similar qualities. The lady on the phone told me that the computer analyzes the phones and chooses a compatible one for me. I am crossing my fingers that the compatible phone will be the Sensation.
The replacement comes in the mail tomorrow.
I plan on waiting a few days before calling back and citing the errors that the replacement has.
So, good bye G2X. Hello, Sensation.
What are some other issues with the device that are worth citing?
I know it's kinda "morally incorrect" but, I want to know these errors so I can have a full arsenal when I call.

I really hope you get a Sensation. I'm praying for you.

Thank you, man.
Do you think the Sensation will be pulled up as a "similar device" for the G2X?
I don't want to trade for like a G2 or the HTC Galaxy S.

Replacements
They will only offer the Vibrant 4g as a replacement. The Sensation is too near start of life for it to be offered. Good luck either way but after a 90 minute phone call with care and Executive care (1-800-318-9270) I was told the same thing.

Do not want.
Why the Vibrant?
I want a phone that has Dual Core capabilities, and the Vibrant (Galaxy S) doesn't have that.
Now, 1GHz is still good, but..

Oh God just go already! Why do people feel the need to post these stupid "Goodbye cruel g2x" messages. I understand discussions about bugs and flaws your phone may have...but these silly "I'm leaving" pronouncements are just clutter.
It's not constructive, no one really cares, and it's just flame bait. You would do much better if you were to go to the Sensation forums and announce your grand arrival...I'm sure someone there would appreciate it.
In conclusion, so long and don't let the door hit ya on the way out!

+1 g2x is beast

if gps which is such a complaint for so many phones on these forums is such a big deal and has to be accurate to the millimeter then suggest that you get a tom tom a compass and duct tape it to what ever phone you are currently pissed at.

I'll save you the disappointment now and tell you, Tmobile doesn't have a phone in their input into their system as a replacement for the G2X. In other words, they WILL NOT swap you into a different phone. The most they will do is give you an early upgrade and "allow" you a full discount to purchase the Sensation. I spent all day yesterday speaking with several different members of several different department's management teams and that was the only solution offered other than letting me out of my contract (which they did do). Also, you don't need to wait days before you call them, just go ahead and call them back immediately. Also, they are aware of the problems with the phone as it is well documented in their company, and anyone there with any knowledge knows the reason the phone was pulled was due to quality issues (which they admitted to me on several occasions). It really is pathetic how Tmobile feels it's alright to screw over their customers the way they are doing. I called the corporate phone number yesterday and left a message and am expecting a call back from the corporate office tomorrow. Hopefully there will be some accountability...

2 days ago, I called Customer Care and essentially told them that I would be getting the Sensation in exchange for the G2X at no cost to me what so ever. I made sure it happened, in a nice way of course. I didn't give them a chance to say otherwise
I made sure Customer Care put in the notes on my account BEFORE I delt with the retail store (where I purchased my G2X on 6/03), that any restocking fee would be waived....that it would simply be a straight across the board swap for my G2X, Speck Case and Screen protectors....for a Sensation, new case and new screen protectors. Plain and simply because I was sold a defective product and the accessories were pointless now....obviously.
Long story short.....Got my SWEET new Sensation, case, screen protectors at zero cost to me.....straight swap. Of course keep in mind I was in my 14 days, so I had some extra pull.
I'm pretty sure I got around policy, but it sure felt like the right thing happened on every level
As far as the G2X goes.....I simply could not live with that screen bleed. It really did wash out the top part of the screen. Plus there are a bunch of stories of peeps on multiple G2Xs....all with bleed to some extent. The Sensations screen is gorgeous....resolution, size and no bleed!!
Lastly...I also discovered that the Sensation not only records 1080p at 30fps...it also is the only one between G2X and SGS2 that records the audio in STEREO!! The others record in mono.... That's a pretty big deal for me as I love making vids

My lord...you guys are scary angry. I bought it at a retail store. Tmo Customer Care said I would have to PAY for the Sensation in store. They said I could walk out with a new G2X at no charge. I told them no, I'll get the Sensation at no charge.
Sorry to correct you, but I think I may have slightly gotten around policy.
Why are you guys so angry and pent up...get some fresh air. Would not want to be around you guys on a day to day basis.

Cant we all just get along? come on.. let's watch some bob ross and hear him talk about the happy little squirrel that lives in the happy little tree, in the happy little forest(and a forest where you can have as many happy tree's as you want in your world)
I too am getting a sensation, but I'm also keeping one of my g2x's
I only have a little screen bleed (acceptable amount), finally starting to see better battery life, and no random reboots or overheating.

This certainly received a lot of hate. Heh.

How do I convince TMO to give me one?

I'm on my third G2x. I just can't take it anymore. At this point it's only partly the phone itself and partly my new disgust for LG as a company. I don't even want to use a working G2x if that day ever comes.
I've tried asking T-Mobile to switch out for a Sensation, and I'm usually pretty good at sweet talking these kind of deals, but all efforts have failed thus far. What's the fastest way anyone has gotten TMO to switch a G2x out for a Sensation? I hear a BBB complaint is fairly effective, but doesn't exactly seem to be very quick.
Cheers...

They're told me that if they swap out a device 3 times, that they'll be willing to swap for a newer device. If this is your third and you're still having problems you might be able to make it an easy argument. Just call and tell the truth. You went through 3 phones, and they're all messed up and since you paid with real money you want a real high end phone that works as advertised. Then boom, can I trade this for a Sensation for free? If they say no, then ask to speak to a manager.

not sure if the lemon law applies to phones but if you are on your third one, honestly, they should just swap it out for a different phone for you or give you your money back.
call and ask to CS rep. ask nicely. if you get the right CS rep, they'll most likely hook you up.

I've been told this by T-Mobile as well. After three exchanges of the same device (I think within 90 or 180 days?), you can talk to them about switching to a different device.

The thing that sucks is that not all if any care reps even know the situation with the G2X so they'll think your just full of it

Removed due to someone whining in the G2X forum.

I had 5 MT4G's and they sent me a G2X...
After about a week of it shutting off randomly and having to pull the battery out and put it back in to get it to turn on I asked if they would send me another phone.
Of course they wanted to send me another G2X. I asked for a Sensation... The CC rep said NO. I asked to talk to a manager and no go. She made me really mad and I told her to put me on the horn with customer retention so I could cancel my service and switch to Big Red.
I'm not under contract and they wanted me to just upgrade the line. After talking to customer retention. They credited my bill $80 and let me keep my week old G2X. I went to the store and bought a Sensation.
So... No Verizon. But I still have a brand new G2X for sale...

As most of you know from my post here about 6 weeks ago, T-mobile shipped me a Sensation for free and let me keep my G2X while still remaining off contract. If you would like to get all the information as to why t-mobile just ate the cost for the Sensation then your going to have to look through my history. The story is to ling and I've already told it too many times.

It's all about who you talk to. I had a similar issue with my previous phone, and after only one swap-out, the supervisor I talked to gave me no hastles and allowed me a full upgrade price on the Sensation. Your situation may merit a free device, but it depends on you getting the right person at the right time. Just be honest with them, let them know it's not their individual fault, and you're just exhausted from all the problems. Be sincere, and only get more authoratative if they completely refuse to help.

Third time I've posted this today lol

After exchanging my g2x about 6 times I called the retention center and told them that I would cancel my account since I needed a working phone and the g2 was definitely not a comparable device. As soon as I mentioned the cancellation he told me I could get the sensation as an upgrade ( even though I just opened my account 5 months ago) so I just paid the $250 and got a sensation on the mail. So far, I absolutely love it

I just called them again. I've literally talked to CC 3 different times over a span of a few days and spoken to supervisors each time. Every time they tell me that can't switch them out even if they wanted to and they know nothing about anyone ever being able to swap their G2X for another phone... I've been a T-Mobile customer since 2001 so I can't believe they are denying me this basic level of service.
I just filed a BBB complaint on the matter. Investigating other ways to get some kind of a resolution...

They are flat out lying because they gave me a free Sensation, let me keep my G2X and let me remain out of contract. Although I was a special case, they still have the power and can do so.

Yes. I know supervisors can and since he said the supervisors he spoke to said they couldn't do it, I simply stated they were lying. I know their lying because one of them approved my G2X /Sensation debacle.

Don't forget they have rules and policies they have to follow too. Not a matter of just doing whatever they want. Every situation is unique.

Just an update.
I called and complained to another manager. I called and kept asking for supervisors until they said there was no one else, lol. No go. I also opened a BBB case against TMO stating my claim and that switching to a HTC Sensation would be a satisfactory resolution. Yesterday I got a call from "The Office of the President" to discuss my BBB complaint. They proceeded to tell me that TMO is only a "wireless service provider" and they take no responsibility for the (non)functionality of the phones themselves. After a long conversation of me calling them on their BS at every turn, he offered to refund me $40 they charged me to replace the G2X twice to begin with in return for considering it an acceptable resolution. I said hell no.
So I'm not sure how anyone else has gotten away with this, but apparently being a customer for 10 years and paying $200/mo isn't good enough for me to get the kind of courtesy they extend to other customers.

So the gingerbread update did not fix all the huge issues with the g2x?

Yea, I thought the update is supposed to make the g2x pretty solid...My GF just got one a week ago for free for adding a line (free all the way, no mail in rebates or activation fee).
Hers doesnt have GB on it though, how is that to go down?

Last time I tried to pull off a free G2X because I read someone on the forum was given one by a rep for being a long term customers and signing up for another 2yrs. I called Tmobile and demanded the same deal and the supervisor wouldn't let me have it. I told her 5 times that there has been people walking away with G2X at no cost for 2yr renew and bahabah to the point the supervisor demanded "my friends" number to look up the code that was inserted in their accounts..
My solution is to tell them about jrwingate6 and say my friend went through this same crap bahbahabah and in the end Tmobile gave him a sensation.. jrwingate6 will have to give you his number to make proof of that if he's willing to help you out and privately send his personal number to you. Once they see Jrwing was given a free sensation due to malfunctions G2X how can they deny you?
You know what dude times like this you should call corporate and demand to speak to the president or someone below with reasonable powers to help me out.
I return my G2X after using it for 29 days. It was lacking something and overall the experience wasn't satisfying to me I just didn't seem to be in love like my sensation. I hated the G2X!!

My GF G2x has zero problems so far. Its just as snappy as my Sensation. The camera is slow, but thats it! The battery is a million times better than my sensation!
Maybe the G2x has gotten better? Maybe you ought to ask for another G2x and see if something was fixed. I dont notice ANY of the problems listed, and I have a sensation to compare it too.

Got a GSII at 2 yr contract price

Just an FYI,
After some *****ing to retentions about the non-functionality of this phone, I managed to get a new phone at 2 yr contract price. I'm on my 3rd G2X and I have just about every problem imaginable - reboots,shutdowns,calls often don't work,data often doesn't work, etc. If you're frustrated with your G2X but don't want to shell out 600 bucks, it's worth a shot. I told them that the guy at my local tmobile store told me that I might as well stop switching out for replacements since "they're all like that." Basically just kept stressing that they sold me a broken phone, and I just wanted a working one. Good luck!

ooohhhwhhooooo good for you pal.
this is a g2x threat ''FYI''
i got my g2x since it release date and i never had problems. let see how your GS2 will work for ya. its still a samsuck
and i had several problems with the old galaxy s versions. and again samsuck never did nothing about it

I might give this a try... I'll get the GSII... Sell it, then buy another G2x.

Haha good idea. I was about to say how the g2x is better and they g2x does not like him.

I was just trying to help out...I figured some other people might be frustrated with their g2x's and would appreciate this option. If you are happy with yours, that's great - this thread (with a d) is not for you. I don't see how you can call Samsung out for not addressing problems when that is clearly the issue with LG here - with quality control if nothing else.

This was probably a joke, but they didn't even ask for my g2x back. You could just do it and sell the GSII, which would have a much higher resale value I'd imagine

It probably has a higher resell value. G2x is very underrated

Yeah, I'm actually bummed I couldn't get a working g2x. The gsii seems way too big to me, and the build quality is pretty ****ty. But seeing that I had to get SOME other phone, it was the best option

If they sent it to you, you must send back the g2x or they will follow up with a bill for the full price of the phone. I promise. It will happen.

Why post this here? Go talk to your new GSII friends. Have fun with your Samsung. They are crap BTW. Easy to perma-brick due to bad engineering on Samsung's part.

They didn't send it in as a replacemt. They just gave him a really early upgrade.

I posted it here because I am coming from a g2x, and it was specifically my complaints about none of my g2xs working that allowed me to get a really early upgrade. Again, just trying to help. I know there are a lot of people who are frustrated with the g2x's unreliability.

Wow lots of hate for a company that gives phones to developers, hired Cyanogen, and garnered enough interest from Google to create the Nexus a second time. I loved my Nexus S.
I kinda liken the G2x to an AMG Mercedes. Sexy piece of metal and glass, a thrill when working correctly, but loses half its value when you drive off the lot.
I like keeping my phones for 6mo or so and reselling to subsidize the next phone. G2x depreciated faster than any other phone I've owned. Feel like kinda a chump for picking one up on 4/20. I could have waited 2 months and bought it $250 cheaper. Grrrr....

God damn, no need to be so hostile. He was just trying to inform people who are dissatisfied with their G2x. No need to be so negative.

We are tired of people leaving the G2X thinking they must post a thread to say bye and slam the G2X in the process. We don't need your negative energy. We don't you need to say goodbye to us. Just go away quietly please. We don't care about what deals you got to switch or what you are switching to. Keep your jubilation and negative comments to yourself please.

Just beat it!!

This wasn't a goodbye post, or a g2x-slamming post. I was simply letting people know that if they are frustrated with their g2x, there might be an option they weren't aware of. There was no jubilation or negative comments. Are people so insecure (about their cell phones of all things) that I can't even mention the name of another phone? As I said before, there are many pluses of my g2x - higher pixel density, better screen size, vanilla os, hdmi out, better build quality, etc. The one big minus is that it doesn't work a lot of the time, just like the previous g2x's I've had. If your phone works, then great. This post was not meant for you.

i got a new in box amaze 4g for $5 bucks

my sensation started acting weird after it got wet because of a little rain so i called tmobile regarding a exchange and they offer me the G2X or the Amaze 4G or another Sensation. of course i picked the Amaze and the phone came here yesterday brand new in box, but i do have to return my sensation.
at the moment i love the amaze but the sensation have more roms and more devs working on it than the amaze, maybe because this is a newer phone who knows

lol the only devs are x and crackeyes...that phone is an epic fail in development. Hopefully it gets better later.

Dude, you have had this same exact post removed before. This is fraud, because in your last post, like this, you admitted you lied to tmo. People like you cause the rest of us to get screwed later on down the line with higher costs and harsher return policies...

Is it that easy in the states to get an exchange? You get your phone wet and they'll just give you a new phone just like that? I wish we had it easier here! If we drive our car into a pole or threw our cell phone against the wall, we wouldn't get a replacement! Heck no!
Anyway, back on topic. I'm confused... what is this post supposed to be about? Are you just boasting about getting the amaze? (it's working cause I'm pretty jealous!) Or just telling everyone else how they can get an amaze as well..!

This "person" has made this same post before, and was reported for encouraging fraud, don't worry though, he has been reported again.
As to is it that easy? Yes, when people like this lie to get something else...
My $0.02 worth...

it is not fraud thats the reason you pay for insurance!!! either you pay and get something good. or pay and get screw.
talking about lying how many times they had lie to you.
the way i see its if you gets screw you try to get around and get something better.
and yes you can drop the phone in the toilet and get a new one if you have insurance
and another thing. you by rooting the phone and then you brick it and call for an exchange thats lying too because by rooting it you broke the warranty.

Then be specific! And in addition, my Sensation is STOCK so keep your ignorance to yourself!
MODS: PLEASE CLOSE THIS WORTHLESS THREAD!

Others are correct. You're previous thread was removed as you were promoting insurance fraud, which is related to what you've just stated above.
Along with that, this thread serves no other purpose.
