No, because it doesn't happen all the time.
if your taking it in to a store then try putting a pin inside the back speaker and wiggling it around a bit. Make sure it crackles when audio is played. cuz if u take it in and they mess with it they may just say well i cant see a problem.
Am I the only one who thinks the op should just suck it up for the problem HE caused and stop ripping off tmo... Or maybe I'm just too moral....

I hear ya, I was checking the Slide boards to see if their was anything new for my wife's main phone and my backup and one of the guys over there had a legit fail on his second phone and they offered him a free replacement Slide or re-furbed MT4G and it turned into a 4 page thread of bull**** lies to tell TMO to get out of the Slide and into the MT4G.
I've noticed that people also do this every time the "latest and greatest" comes out and then whine and cry that the manufactures aren't putting out updates... with all the people that do this it makes it appear to the manufactures that there are too many issues with the device to support with future update support.
T-Mobile most likely going to just fix it up. Its not like there's anything really wrong with the phone. He can literally say my phone is rebooting on its own and I haven't installed any apps. It's not really scamming T-Mobile scratches aren't that big of a deal now lying to get an upgrade is more of scamming T-Mobile.

You mean the ROM, right? Pretty sure people are excited about the hardware. Go read Engadget's review of it. Those guys are the most biased iphone fanboys ever and they gave the Thunderbolt a pretty damn good review. The phone is sexy as hell.
Now if you mean you somehow had the Thunderbolt, a CDMA phone, running on T-Mobile, a GSM network, then please do tell. I love good fiction as much as the next guy.

Mytouch 4g is and thunderbolt are basically the same phone few differences. Like an 8mp camera on the thunderbolt and a better ffc. Only thing I'm jealous of is a kickstand. I like it has a g2 like build.

P.S These screens are tough as hell there so manyy scratches when the screen is off and when you turn it on it doesn't do that rainbow effect and the scratches are invisible

Yeah it has similar guts as our phone, but 4.3 inch display, like you said both cameras are way better, capacitive buttons on the front (subjective feature), kickstand, proper HTC Sense, and in Engadget's test they saw up to 20Mbps on the LTE network. They admitted that once it's loaded with customers that would drop probably significantly, but it's still a good sign.
The internal specs are similar to ours, but other than that, it's different in every way. THAT'S why people are excited about it.
Edit: don't get me wrong, I love my Glacier. I am most certainly not jumping to Verizon. I have had every t-mo phone and the only thing that might make me leave my Glacier is if the Pyramid comes to t-mo. *crosses fingers*. Basically my point is, saying you've used the Thunderbolt on t-mo for months now is just a tiny bit on the hyberbole side.

Well we have a higher pi seeing that our phone is smaller remember just because they have more megapixel doesn't mean it takes better pictures. The VGA or 1.3 camera won't matter for video calling. Only thing I'm jealous of is a kickstand. Then again everything is a personal preference. Hell ill jump to HTC pyramid as well if its on T-Mobile. Something tells me T-Mobile going to take out the kick stand I don't want to buy their cheap case.

The moral responsibility lies on the OP he asked a question and people did there best to respond to it. Just remember it cost HTC a total of $62 to produce the average device and we pay $500+ for it.
wait how did this thread go into a thunderbolt vs MT4G argument
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!
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!!!

Anyway, yeah...don't let this stand.
I just got off the phone with customer care. This is my 3rd phone in a week. Each one with different problems. (Dim screen, buzzing earpiece speaker, dust in the FFC, etc) I think my total is 5 different MT4G's...
They tried to send me some piece of crap 3g phone as a replacement. After blowing the whistle on that scam...
They are sending me an LG G2x.

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.
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.

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.

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.
Well it's obvious...despite the "normal" issues that any phones may experience (G2X blown out of proportion IMO with just a bunch of whiners),...that all led most to believe that it was temporary out of stock on TM's website due to the issues.....
It's very apparent it was taken off due to the Sensations release....had the G2X still have been on TM's site, it would have killed the sales of the Sensation.
Now with the new MyTouch4G Slide, obviously it would be wise, marketing wise, to take the G2X off completely to save the sales OR assist the sales (either way you look at it) of the Sensation and MT4G Slide...
Either way...I still own a G2X and will be getting the MT4G Slide for giggles just to have....returned to Sensation today...was a piece of crap....
G2X has realistically been the fastest phone I've ever owned...heck my SGS4G was faster than the Sensation...
Not to bash the Sensation, but soon it'll be just a dust in the wind as all the new devices come out soon....hint hint....Samsung Galaxy S 2 for TM? ANyone?
Uhh, no?

I was about to throw mine out the ****ing car window today. ****ing GPS was needed, and of course, when you need it most, it fails.

Every phone you ever buy from here on out will be dust in the wind. Accept it.
Is this post your opinion or do you have some super secret information from a T-mobile executive? I have both of the phones mentioned and I can assure you, the Sensation is no slouch once you stop Sense from running and use LP or ADW. It then becomes instant just like my G2X. Even running the phone stock with Sense, my Sensation always loaded apps faster (especially Google Maps) than my G2X. It also has a smoother browser than my G2X and plays the only game I play (Homerun Battle 3D) at a higher framerate.
By the way, I can do a side by side video if you think I'm lying. I never say anything I can't back up.
Lastly, the G2X would have never outseld the Sensation or MyTouch 4g Slide. Not because its inferior but because the mainstream buyer is going to want all the stupid eye candy on Sense. Also, the mainstream T-mobile customers will choose HTC over LG any day of the week. Its what they know.

Lmao, I was in a very similar situation a few days ago. It took all my strength to stop myself from tossing it out onto the interstate. I'm trying to make it until the Nexus 3 is released but it's very likely that ill smash this phone to bits long before it arrives.

using G2x to show a boarding pass
Definitely had many reasons to throw this phone out of the window but my worst experience was while standing in a airport security line and naively thinking that I would show my boarding pass to the security agent on my G2x. Of course just as I step up to the agent, the phone freezes and then resets leaving me to stand in the line for another 5 minutes while I pulled out the battery and reset the device. The entire time the agent is looking at me and telling me that I need to get back to the end of the line if the phone is not up in next 2 minutes
I hate this phone with a passion...

Are you on the HTC payroll?
I get it. It is a nice phone if you happen to be lucky and get a good one. Very similar to the G2x situation.
Which screen does your have? I am still interested in the Sensation. I miss the larger screen on my HD2. I just could not pull the trigger based on the poor quality of the demo in my local store. I would love to see a comparison video and pics between the two phones.

Same boat here. but my problem is with signal at home. the only way to make a proper phone call is using with wifi calling. I miss the Nexus line so much

Nope, not on anyone's payroll. In fact, if you take a look at my posts from the past two days in the Sensation forums, I was pissing everyone off stating that I think the GSII is the better device. I am fortunate enough to buy any phone I want, whenever I want so I am NEVER biased towards one particular device. Some people will defend the device there stuck with to no end and while I understand it, I hate it. I just say what I think the better device is along with giving my reasons. In my humble opinion, someone who is not tied to a device for a year or two usually ends up being less biased than the person who is and is trying there damndest to justify there purchase. There is no doubt about it, Sense blows and HTC did a horrible job with optimizing it. Once you load ADW on it, the UI feels like a dual core device. Everything else like the browser, market, apps and maps already felt like a dual core device. For instance, the app pictures load faster on the Sensation than they do on the G2X when scrolling through the market. You also don't get that stutter when doing so. Contact pictures also appear instantely unlike the G2X where it takes them a couple seconds to load as your scrolling through the list. Google maps also load instantely when s rolling through a map where as the streets appear blurry before loading on the G2X. It really is a nice phone once you pull Sense off of it but my absolute biggest reason behing choosing it to be my daily driver er is the display. Text is so much clearer and I find my self scrolling a lot less through websites due to the resolution and size. I do think the contrast is better on the G2X but clearer text is more important than darker blacks. I care about darker blacks on my 4 LED TV's in my house, not my 4inch phone.
Let me know what you want to see in the video and ill add it in for you.

Amen Brother....
I too am not locked to a single phone or carrier. So being biased is not in the equation. I too have both the Sensation and the G2x. My 'unbiased' opinion leans towards the G2x. I think loading a new launcher on the Sensation is equiv to rooting and flashing CM7 on the G2x. If I have to make a radical change in my device to like the device, time to move on. I have to like the device before I'll even consider making changes to it. yeah i know, strange.
I'm not in a contract but my opinion about how I buy phones isn't "what kind of phone it IS" but "What kind of phone it can BECOME".
I like getting a phone and flashing custom roms to gain extra special abilities and functions.
Coming from the Nexus One running CM7, the G2x with CM7 feels right at home.
GPS has been worked on tremendously and is finally reliable. The phone never locks up and simply just works as it should. I trust CM7 to build quality roms for a phone over any manufacture.
Stock roms, to me, are something to "just use" until something better comes along. Everything always works better hacked. The people that fight that urge simply blows my mind. Peace of mind is out there if you want it.
And as far as the higher resolution of the Sensation, I just run the G2x at 190 density to gain the same screen real-estate. Supposedly the G2x/O2x were designed to function properly at higher resolutions (*rumor).

Eh, its not strange, its just what you do. Myself on the other hand, ADW goes on every phone I purchase almost immediately due to the amount of customization and smoothness. Sense has to much eye candy and vanilla is just too, well vanilla. To each their own...

Well the potential for the Sensation once it becomes unlocked is going to be pretty good. You know it will get CM and the Adreno 220 is capable of more power than most other GPU's. It just has some ****ty drivers right now and games aren't yet optimized for it. I also have my G2X density at 190 but it still doesn't make the text as clear as on my Sensation. I've said it before but after looking at my Sensations display for a couple of days, my G2X display looks blurry.
Oh....you asked earlier. I have the Sharp display and just like the G2X, I had to return 3 of them to get a nice display.

Well I can tell you my Sensation remains at full bars of WiFi all throught my house and outside of my house. Look back through my posts and you will see a video I made, showing the power of the Sensations WiFi. I also hold it in landscape, showing there is no death grip issue with mine. Yes I was 2 floors away from my router when shooting this video and it was proved in the video. Every manufacture makes buggy devices. You can't expect to get a perfect device anymore in today's market. My past 5 phones had to be returned multiple times a piece just to get a device with none or minimal bugs.
On the other side of the table. My wife had the G2X as well. She then saw my Sensation and wanted it so I sold her G2X and bought her a Sensation. She couldn't be happier and hasn't reported any problems to me. Trust me, she knows what bugs are and she will tell me about them.

Uhhh for the longest time it was indeed OFF OF TM's site. I just checked yesterday and it wasn't on there at all. Now it's back on, therefore, it's ironic that I happen to be at TM Corporate store yesterday talking with a guy from Corporate that happened to be there and he did specifically mentioned that, (paraphrasing) "regarding the G2X, there are many reason for why it was pulled off before the launch of the sensation. It wasn't due to any hardware related issues, more software actually. The G2X was actually the fastest selling phone nationwide, which supply and demand may have been a contributing factor for it being pulled for a while. He did mention the improvements on the screen for the newer batches of the G2X, which is another reason adding to the why's...."
It was a good 10min convo...all paraphrasing of course, but at any rate, it doesn't take too much brain power to realize the reasoning(s) and in the G2X's case, IMO it's all pretty practical rather than theory.
