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...

depends on your expectations of the phone. This includes Speed, battery life, Features, and Accessories. State those and I can give you my take.

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.

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

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!

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!!!

NO!!!...STOP!!!
The LG G2x is buggy as hell!!!
TMO and LG are promising an update to GB to fix ALL the issues....but haven't released it yet.
I have both the LG G2x and MT4G....MT4G is virtually flawless....I love it.
I would wait for the GB release on the LG before jumping in.
As of today with the G2x, you will be dealing with:
1.) Multiple random reboots
2.) Bluetooth connectivity issues
3.) Hung operating system (i.e. - phone will freeze and you will need to pull the battery to recover)
4.) Hot running battery and short Battery life
5.) Wifi connectivity issues
6.) Screen light bleed
7.) etc, etc, etc...this is what I have so far...don't know about everyone else.
I would wait for the GB released version...patience is a virtue, and GB on LG will prevent you from from throwing the phone out the window from the top of a 30 story building.

Obvious choices are either Evo3D or Nexus S 4G. I would probably go with the Evo3D.

I'd go with probably one of the 2 already mentioned: evo3d or nexus s 4g...I actually prefer the nexus s aesthetically, but after everything I've heard about Samsung android phones, I'd probably go with the evo3d...can't beat HTC when it comes to solid builds.
To the OP, good luck with your new phone. I for one am going with the same MT4G for 5 months and couldn't be happier. I did initially have to trade it ONCE to get a 'good' screen at the very beginning, so I understand the frustration of having to exchange it when you just want a solid phone...but it's so worth it when you do get that good unit.
I've gone through my share of phones in the past year and the MT4G has treated me right from day one, a good friend of mine is on the Evo 3D and loving it all day, (Reported that it in fact has been rooted) but HTC is to release the bootloader soon anyways but good job in the exploit.
The phones I've found to have the least amount of issues so far was the SideKick 4G, MT4G, G2 but obviously found what I was happy with here. Sorry to hear you had such a hard time with the phone as the devs here are great at their work and take pride in what they do, I've been around and so far I have no complaints on either end here.
Good luck on what ever you choose, sometimes you have to break a few screens before you find one your less apt to whip against the wall or out the car.
My gf has the evo 3d and ive never been a fan of the evo screens(4g and 3d) compared to a good screen mt4g, The evos felt like looking at my old washed out screen mt4g. I hope the galaxy s2 comes out soon. Id rather get that

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I went through four different boxes of the G2x at my T-Mobile store (my local store has awesome reps, lol). Every last one of them had horrible screen bleed in two or three corners.
My MT4G, which is like the effin' magical unicorn of MT4Gs (good screen, perfect power button, no creaky buttons, OCs and UVs like a champ), is almost AMOLED-like in the dark on a black screen. Not even the slightest hint of screen bleed even in a pitch-black room.
Which is a shame. I really wanted to bump up my screen size, and the G2x is a sweet device on paper, but sadly so many manufacturing issues with this one...
Guess I'll just wait for the SGSII or whatever else T-Mobile gets. Sensation's a bust with its locked bootloader.
My MT4G has been the best phone I've had - I have the good screen and none of the issues, nothing. I really hate to part with this phone in favor of Sensation, and already having second thoughts about it. I'll probably end up keeping it
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I have the good everything except the eMMC chip. I hope it doesn't go out on me. I really do not want to play return-roulette with T-Mobile. I really love my Glacier, but I would trade/sell it for a Nexus S in a heartbeat if the Nexus S had an sdcard slot.
Actually, I would have just bought the Nexus S to begin with... lol

Yeah - they did that for me too. The G2x was so bad, I called yesterday and they are overnighting me another MT4G. Good luck!
People need to be banned for making threads like this. News flash. NOBODY CARES IF YOU GOT A DIFFERENT PHONE. Just go and call it a day.
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.

I think I am buying a Bell Sensation locally, very good price. Just had some questions about the device and what should I look out for?
1. Gonna check the box to say z710a? And I will put my AT&T SIM in there to make sure it works properly and stuff.. Also will check GPS, WiFi, see if touchscreen is responsive, etc.
2. Are there any issues COMMON to Sensations I should look out for?
(FOR EXAMPLE) Most G2x has screen bleed issues.. MyTouch 4G had issues with good screen vs. bad screen
Anything common in Sensations I should look out for?
3. Is there anything in general I should check out for when buying the phone?
Is there a water damage indicator on the phone anywhere?
Thanks a lot XDA
Ppl are gunna say dust under screen, bad performance, but I don't have any problems.

Alright I will check for that, but as long as it's not terribly dusty there I probably won't mind. Thanks for the suggestion ( I thanked your post! )
Any other ones are greatly appreciated!
ALSO, he's giving me the box and all that stuff.. If I ever god forbid had an issue how is HTC with their warranties and all that? Could I send it in with just the phone?
Do I need documentation from the guy, or the phone good enough

i bought mine off of craigslist and it had dust under the screen so i didnt care much because i can clean it. witch i clean mine once a week. about performance and everything works excellent. i guarantee you, you will love it. im coming from a g2x and the screen bleed didnt bother me as much
and i never had the problems people talk about with rebooting and stuff.
there are still cool roms for the g2x as it is for the sensation. i bought the sensation not because of sense but because its camera quality. i think its better than the one on the g2x meaning the ffc. with more features and stuff. not mention the 3rd parties camera apps just the stock one.
plus i had insurance with my previous g2x and i knew if i start using the sensation and something was wrong with it i can order a replacement.
but honestly so far im loving htc because they seems to care about their customer and updates their phone regularly.
as they already talked about updating with ICS
The only thing I can think of is dust under the screen. I myself don't have the problem, but I know alot of people do.

It really isn't anything to look out for if you plan on obtaining s off and rooting after you buy it the only difference would be the the radio is operating on a different frequency other than that you will be able to do the same thing as the rest of use sensation owner's so go for it and enjoy

Yes look out for the bloat ware theses are pretty solid however I wouldn't recommend buying one off Craigslist but hey you know the old saying whatever floats your boat

Thanks to everyone for the advice, and I see no problem with using Craigslist for face-to-face meets. Don't let the media get to you, scammers are everywhere.
Sensation turned out to be in fact the Bell version and is perfect!
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?
Dnt make a mistake by buying g2x no ics update for it

^^^^ don't go spreading lies. Yes it's not coming to g2x from LG, but once we have sources I'm sure we will get ICS. if the NS is able to run it then we will.

Doesn't matter. He shouldn't buy the g2x
That's what she said...
I'm happy with mine. Tried sensation and back to g2x, would buy it again. Love this 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.

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.

If you wanna be super positive and think they may bring it to the p999 then you are then you are definitely an optimistic person

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.
