Hey guys, an opportunity just came up and I might be able to trade my G2x for a Sensation. I absolutely love my phone since I was lucky enough to get one with minor screen bleed and no reboot issues. I just wanted to get more opinions from you guys. The main reason I'm willing to go through with this trade is GB. Is the trade worth it or should I just wait for a GB update?
Also, if I went through with this trade, what would happen with the games that I bought that are for Tegra 2 devices?

youd know the answer to your question better than us....considering its gonna be your phone...but if you are asking for opinions,,,id say stick with the g2x. faster and the hardware is nicer...i dont think your tegra2 games will work on the sensation, but dont quote me on that
Gingerbread is not that big of an upgrade over froyo. The main difference it will make for the g2x is fixed drivers. Is it worth trading a good device for a potentially faulty sensation? No. The sensation has launch issues as well.
Just my opinion.

Sensation/G2x Best of Both Worlds
I have both aswell and I like the g2x better. Smaller, lighter and faster. Just my opinion.

I just received my Sensation on Monday and really have enjoyed using it (NO REBOOTS!). I haven't had any major issues, to include the "Wifi death grip". I actually enjoy using the Sense UI, as it has fairly useful features. Honestly, the G2X was my first Android, and I was almost turned off to the whole OS because of the issues I was having. The Sensation has redeemed Android for me personally. Of course, we'll see how the phone holds up after a month of use.
I have both and use them both. I much prefer the G2X.
Just traded my Sensation for a G2x today on Craigslist. I was honestly nervous, but damn the G2x is pretty damn nice. My Sensation had the touchscreen issues that everyone else had so the responsiveness on this is just amazing to me. I think the Sensation is gorgeous but this phone is also pretty nice and I am liking the software better already. The only thing I miss is a fully working Netflix for some reason on this I get netflix, but it's all sped up, so not useable.

If you are not having problems with your G2x keep it.
I think that the G2x is a faster phone than the Sensation and certainly more entertainment friendly. I prefer it.
I had to switch to the Sensation and find it to be a better business friendly phone. Better email, better battery life, and Sense does keep things nicely organized and accessible at the right times. I do miss the G2x though. Every time I see my girl still with hers I think about switching back...but I need a more reliable device.
If you're is working well don't switch. If it is prone to the resets and freezing then make the trade. Just be honest with the buyer.

Thanks guys. I'm gonna keep the G2x then; and Pinhead, my phone is pretty much flawless so thanks. I guess I just liked how T-Mobile sold off the Sensation since they advertise it more as a flagship device than the G2x. After hearing your guy's opinions I'm willing to wait for GB. It may take a while for the update, but it doesn't really affect me, since as stated before, I got a pretty faultless device, so thanks guys your opinions are very much appreciated...

I have both as well. But I havent been able to have them side by side yet. When I got my sensation my G2X was at LG for repair, when it came back they repaired something that didnt need to be repaired and didnt repair what needed to be repaired so I sent it back to them.. anyway my cousin also has the g2x and yesterday I was playing with them side by side. Consistently in internet speed tests the g2x was getting 1-2mbps higher than the sensation(literately side by side, connecting to the same server etc..), the g2x was also a lot more snappy and even though the sensation has a qhd display I did like the ips better on the g2x. I just think the sensation is just much sexier looking. If I could get the looks of the sensation and the performance of the g2x I would be happier than a pig in ****

Hey graf, nice to see a familiar face in this strange land
Yeah I don't have the sensation anymore, atleast for now. Ran into a good deal and this G2x (according to the kid who sold it, also an avid XDAer) has no random reboot issues and the screen bleed is almost negligible. My Sensation was gorgeous and usable, but it had intermittent screen sensitivity issues. I had talked to T-Mobile a few times about it, and they had basically told me it's a known issue that will be fixed by an update from HTC. I'm sure had I prodded they would have gone through the throes of replacing it, but my problem was intermittent... I couldn't make it happen and god damnit anytime I showed someone it worked fine. Not to mention a factory reset completely fixed the problem for almost exactly one week. ARRGGHH. I know Tech Support would have had me Factory Reset it, which would have fixed the issue and then I would have had to wait another week to call back in for more troubleshooting and then possibly a replacement. I dunno, just thinking about it gave me migraines.
So for the time being I'm feeding my phone ADD with a new device, and I get to do the whole crackflashing thing again. And so far I'm very impressed. When the Sensy gets busted open and that sexy beast can perform like the G2x I think I will be jumping back. To see over 4000 on Quad, I was like, umm pants have been shat.
I think what happened is I heard so much bad about G2x and that the Sensation was supposed to be this gift from phone heaven. Sense 3.0 ran smoother on my MT4G than it did on my dual core beast. Just kinda bummed me out. And then with low expectations, seeing the G2x perform so well it just made my pants shrink.
Of course this is all moot in September when the Hercules drops... Stupid addiction. Plus if I can try L-flippin-G out, I think I can give Samsung another shot, especially with those specs.
Wow, thread hikacked, sorry OP. Should have sent a PM to graffix instead... EEK

haha I hear ya. Yeah they are both really nice phones. Once I get my g2x back from LG in a few days I think I will rock that again for a bit. I honestly think a cross between the phones would be perfect. The looks of the sensation and the performance of the G2x. And dont worry about being in a strange land. I can honestly say that the g2x forum peeps are much nicer than the sensation people. So they will all make you feel welcome here
I don't know, but my G2x don't have reboots, but Im tired of it. Because is "low budget" phone for me....
I remember all G-series never sparkled with design....
+Im filling fake drivers( example: settings scrolling, BASIC users never gonna see that, but who know-Android, will say Im right !!) ...even on CM7 witch is super fast* !!!!
So Im almost sell my phone...., and I will get SGS2... Expensive ! But 2.3 and same fast like all dual-cores.
oh and trust me when sensation get CM7 the phone will ROCK !

I have both and tried them side by side. I also read all the comparisons on cnet and other blogs. There was 1, I think CNET, but not sure, named the sensation a hands down winner over G2x in a side by side comparison. Problem was, almost all the tests were opinion tests. For example.
Body shape and style
each of use of apps
speed of access to internet,
game play performance.
All the info pointed to the peeps opinion on how they acted. for me, the side by side performance was much different. the stock g2x out performed the Sensation in every category except:
camera access and speed
Startup speed.
oh.....and I like alot of the Sensation sounds better
Otherwise , this wasn't even a competition.
But, as several have said, its your choice, what you like. If you like the metalic feel of the HTC, then cool, it is attractive. Or, what ever it is that draws you, then go for it.
Just don't let it be GB. The draw of GB vs 2.2 is not that much of a difference to be an impact....unless you want it to be
alodar1 is right especially regarding gb vs. froyo, i hate when i hear people say well i want that phone cuz it has gingerbread, and i think to myself what? why?, there isnt that much of a difference if u ask me all there is, is the scroll light up and i like the copy and paste and gb manages apps a little differently thats it, but froyo performs just as nicely especially 2.2.2, now the only time id say sure grab that phone it has gb, is if u were running 1.5

Just ordered my Inspire 4G. I'm coming from the Captivate. I can't wait for a functioning GPS.
I was going to wait until the Infuse came out until I saw today that DG / Design Gears ditched the Atrix and picked up the Inspire. Can't wait to see what he can do with it. I ran both Cog and Perception on my Captivate. However I'm currently running Serendipity.
Now to pick a custom Inspire ROM to go with...
You won't need it~
Unless if you're into MIUI, stock works just fine! If you're itching for the extra features, Android Development has a bunch of reoriented stock with better speeds.
Cheers on your new Inspire!
a fellow UK fan...nice to see! Do you go to UK??
and that is awesome news about DG coming to the Inspire. I felt like Captivate section really slowed down when he left. He did some big things for the Atrix, so i definitely can't wait to see what he brings to the table for the Inspire.

I'm the type that can't leave stuff alone. I'm always willing to try something new. I'll probably leave it as stock for a little while just to make sure I'm going to keep it.
Hi, enjoy your Inspire! You made an excellent choice.I just got mine also. I'm loving it. I won't install a custom ROM but I might root this one...not sure, though.

A big UK fan. No, I didn't go to UK. However I'm thinking about going back to school, and that's where I'd go.
I agree. Once DG focused on the Atrix, the Captivate forums slowed down. He's got a ROM already in the works for the Inspire that's being beta tested.
How bout that john wall guy? Oh wait... anyway congrats on the upgrade you'll be surprised @ how smooth it is out of the box... and now we have di11igaf, adamholden, DG... good time to be an inspire user

thats awesome...can't wait to try it out. Its weird because with my captivate, i started out with DG's roms, then moved to Adam's roms, and ended up sticking with dill1's roms towards the end.
But, i assure you, coming from the captivate you will be VERY pleasantly surprised with how amazing this phone is out of the box. I thought it was going to be a little sluggish when i was setting it up, but once i used it for awhile and things fell into place, it has been amazing. the Sense UI is downright amazing, and i can finally see what all the hype is about.
I'm still trying to talk myself in to swapping my cappy out but I can't do it. Its been 5 days since my wife got her inspire and the complaints I have so far are the speakerphone stinks so much static on both ends and the volume is quite low on full blast. No swype.My cheek hangs up the phone alot. For some reason the screen turns on midcall and my cheek touches the call button?? When we aren't hanging up on people its constantly dropping calls. No 4g coverage.Its heavy. the battery life is less than desirable and that damn battery cover has taken 2 years off my life. It only has 8gb out of the box,ill have that filled in 10 minutes.as far as gps it does perform ok not great,but it will never outperform my tom tom. I think ill wait for the infuse 4g to arrive and see if that is enough for me to upgrade. My wife is fairly happy with it so its up to her if she wants to keep it so I guess my feelings on it are meaningless!

sounds like a bad unit. I am experiencing none of those issues.
Yeah I don't have that many problems with my phone either. There are audio fixes in the development section that can fix the speaker issue. Other than that, after I switched to TCPs rom, my battery would last me more than a day oppose to 3/4 of a day.

The low volume issue is related to some kind of adaptive program. If you notice, the sound will be low in the very beginning, then it will increase to a louder state. I haven't discovered the settings for it yet, though. Tried checking/unchecking the pocket mode and quiet ring on pickup but didn't make any difference.
The battery door is super tight on mine also. But I don't mind it, myself. It feels very secure. I've decided to just get a dock to conveniently charge it instead of changing out batteries...lol
The 8GB card is a class 4 instead of a crappy class 2. That is a plus in my book. But I still have a 16GB ordered.

I was going to create my own epic bread, but seeing as how this was already on the front page I figured I'd jump in as well.
JUST ORDERED MY HTC INSPIRE 4G. To put things in perspective, I'm currently using a Samsung Mythic (Nubbins-ville USA) and this is my first true experience with Android.
I've been scouring, researching into Android for at least a year now and have finally made the jump. Much like other people on this forum, I definitely struggled with the decision between the Atrix and Inspire. To be honest, when the Atrix was first promoted I was sold on the spot. After release and all the horror stories, I guess I could say that I was swayed I bit.
Either way, I'll definitely be posting around these boards a lot more. Can't wait!
Anyone think battery life will be tolerable when the official gingerbread is out?
(I havent been actively seeking a gingerbread rom for a while)
tmobile is offering to trade for an htc sensation and I want to pull the trigger today.
Overall, I love the aesthetics of the device, I just need your opinions. I'm getting a bit impatient and might consider the sensation which I hear has decent battery life.
your thoughts on the switch/htc sensation? thanks everyone.
do it wisest choice you will make all year. unfortunately for the believers GB will probably not be released anytime soon especially not this famous june 21 the start of summer and if it is just to make more g2x owners angry tmobile or lg will probably only fix a few of the complaints about the phone.
Yes, please swap for the Sensation.
How'd you get them to do that?

G2X has decent battery life if properly set up and no battery eating apps running in the background.
I may be a lucky one, but I get 20-30 hours on a single charge
did it
I got the sensation.
Anyway, the employee had good things to say about the eaglesblood gingerbread rom. I was real tempted to keep mine and flash it. It solved every issue he's had with the phone. So far, he's been running it a couple of days. I really think the lg design is league above the htc phone, the htc looks like every other htc phone out there, mundane.
oh well, I was thinking the resale value down the road would be better, especially if the g2x has been pulled for good.
I would lay it down like this:
Just tell them that you were told the software update would solve the issues, it didnt, the rollout of the latest is far from being released, and you passed your buyers remorse period as a result of waiting for the software, or more devices in my case.
Good luck.

Ah, someone finally noticed. I was just being positive. If someone posted they wanted a Sensation, then by all means go for it. Think of it this way...asking in a G2x forum about whether or not to go to another phone, most people would just flame away. I'm all for pushing folks to what they want instead. It'll cut down on these threads too

Lol its a good point and less of these threads would be a great thing.
I am always amazed how emotionally involved some people get with these phones. While I get excited about cool tech devices, if it doesn't work for me then I either return it or sell it and get something different. I don't understand some people getting so bent out of shape over a phone that they don't like. If I don't like the food at a particular restaurant I just stop eating there. There are plenty of other restaurants out there. If I didn't like my phone then I'd just get a different one. There are plenty of options.

It's probably because they REALLY like this phone and want to keep it by all means, so they keep punishing themselves by waiting for a GB release that would solve any problems they are experiencing. And during this punishment they need to ***** about their painful daily experience

But its okay ... because EVERYTHING "wrong" with their G2X will be fixed by getting a Sensation. Us poor G2X owners will have to keep suffering in cellular starvation, all the while watching from afar as our enlightened brethren enjoy their manna from Heaven (aka - Sensation).

I agree with the theory of encouraging people to bail for the sensation. For those that can not figure out what to do, I say go for it. Get the Sensation.
These threads seem odd to me. I have never posted a question about what to do with my money on the Internet. It is just weird. I guess some just have issues with making up their mind and need the cyber world to help them. I blame ADHD and energy drinks.
Once all the updates are in, I'm sure the G2x will turn out to be a better phone than the Sensation.
yeah people are die hards over technology that is obsolete in a couple of months.
After one day with the sensation, I miss the g2x, even with its issues. (mine software related)
If you are happy with the g2x, my advice would be to keep it, the sensation is not really and upgrade if you know what I mean. If you are keen on the design of the g2x, which I think is awesome and feels great in the hand, you would hate the sensation.

Just got off the horn with a customer care rep. After 5 MT4G's they are sending me a G2x.
Looks like I'll be hanging around here for awhile. After trolling around the G2x general section for awhile...
Are there a bunch of issues with this phone too? Or is it whiners like me bringing down the major corporations again?
Anyway, I'll get comfortable here for awhile. I am always interested in donating to a good cause. (Virtuous Unity Sense... Evil D!)

Stock software is buggy. As long as your handset doesn't have any major hardware defects then you should be fine. Definitely root and at the very least get rid of the T-Mobile bloatware. I recommend CM7 tho. They just released their first RC and its pretty darn good.
The phone is a powerhouse for sure.
I came from the MT4G. With the G2X YMMV. Some have lots of issues, some have none. Unfortunately it is the luck of the draw with this device at the moment. Only real hardware problem is the screen bleed, again some screens are bad, while others have hardly anything visible. every other issue with this phone is software based, and should be fixed with the upcoming upcoming update.
solid upgrade

I plan on running CM7 on it. I ran CM7 on my MT4G. Really liked some of the new Sense ROM's Evil D was posting up, but I always go back to Cyanogen. It's like your old girlfriend that won't go away.
As far as light leak. Is there any particular place it's bleeding from? Just asking... My last run of phones hasn't been so great. I want to make sure I don't get another problem device. Although, I just read a post in here about the Sensation not being so great either.
Funny. Every phone I've owned comes with some defect

again for the bleeding it varies by each G2X. I am fortunate and have hardly any bleed, only place on mine is in the top right hand corner and it can only be seen on a completely black screen. Other G2x screens are so bad that light bleeds around the whole screen.
As for flashing roms, I have not flashed another rom yet but I have rooted. All current roms have the same issues as stock for the most part because they use te same drivers as stock. Until LG releases the update with newer drivers the issues will remain in cooked roms. You will love this phone though. If you get one with just slight screen bleed and no other issues hang on to it. Even though the G2X is flawed at the moment it still wipes the floor with any other phone out there.
I think the bleeding business is overblown. You'll notice it in pitch black darkness on a black screen. During normal use i dont notice a thing.

Good to note. I'm pretty happy about TMo trading my device for this one. Looks like the root procedure is much easier than any device I've ever rooted. (G1, Magic 32A, Magic 32B, Mytouch Slide, or MT4G)
One Click is about as easy as it gets. I'll let you guys know on Friday about the screen bleed. I read that the newer devices aren't as bad... Not sure if there is any truth to that, but I'll know Friday
Bleeding
Well I just got the G2x about 2 hours ago. (Yes it's already rooted w/ clockwork and I did a nandroid) That didn't take long at all.
I was checking out the screen and I am getting a little bleed up in the left corner of the screen. I haven't noticed too many bugs either, but I've only had the phone on for about an hour. I won't be waiting around with the Stock ROM either.
Looks like CM7 is still RC for this phone. Which is good news, but what ROM (So far) has the most stuff working? Kernel?
I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread at all. I've been trying to read as much as I can.

I'm actually experiencing the opposite.
The battery on my G2x is dropping while I watch it. I've wiped, reloaded, wiped, reloaded, wiped, reloaded and it's still dropping. Battery stats are always wiped as well, something is just chomping away at the %.
I'm currently using my backup MT4G running RG, I did 14hrs on one charge and that's with a 3.5hr conference call and heavy data usage.
There has got to be data use issues causing the battery on the g2x to drain so quickly. Mine is on cm7 rc1 and I've had out on wifi with no sim in it and mobile network off. I've used it a fair amount and it's currently at 91% left after 21 hours.

T-Mobile gave me one of these to replace my faulty MyTouch 4G because they claimed to be out of stock. How do you guys put up with the constant freezing, slow performance, home screen reloads, no camera flash, no track pad and no support from cyanogen? This phone feels 3 generations behind my MyTouch. The screen is the only thing that's better, but it's nearly useless because the phone is so pathetic otherwise.
Fwiw, I'm running ICBINB, and, well, I sure as hell CAN believe it's not butter! The theme I loaded over it has blacked out all text on my menu pop ups too, making them impossible to read.
What a disappointment. I don't understand why those of you who had a choice actually intentionally selected this phone. This is a sad day for me.

? Why? Did I post this in the wrong section or something? It sounds to me like you're in denial. If you were truly happy with your phone and found no truth in what I've said you would've just laughed to yourself and ignored this thread. But that's not what happened.
Samsung does suck when it's full stock with no mods, but it's very wrong of you to to criticize the hard work of our developers like that. ICBINB is an excellent ROM and the theme is still being worked on by the developers. It's stuff like that which made great developers like krylon360 leave xda. Honestly, I've tried the stock MT4G and the difference isn't that much.
I'm not from the MT4G forum, so I wouldn't know when they got Cyanogen support, but judging this phone just from its lack of it is quite wrong of you. Keep in mind that the SGS4G did get released much later than the MT4G as well. Krylon360 is currently working on CM7 for the SGS4G as well.
I must agree with jager55. If you really think the phone is that bad, you can always exchange it.

There are quite a few great ROMs out there right now which you can use. Remember, just because you haven't taken full advantage of the phone's capabilities, it doesn't mean that it isn't a good phone.
You can apply RAM tweaks, Custom ROMs and KERNELS, OVERCLOCKING, and so much more.
Everyone here at XDA would appreciate it if you would keep your snide remarks to yourself and, rather than complain, just get a different phone.
Thanks

Hey, don't be a clown. I never criticized the developers. It's not their fault that the hardware is pure trash. Don't put words in my mouth, pally.
So basically... You exchanged a faulty phone and got another faulty phone, from a different manufacturer?
Perhaps you're just a faulty owner...
Myself and my wife purchased our phones at the same time, she a mytouch4g, myself galaxy s4g... First 3 days she spent on the line with tech support and 1 day in the store getting the phone running properly... Myself zero problems!
At any rate, I'll assume you are well within your exchange period take it back!

I see where you're coming from and I understand why you're frustrated. MT4G has had CM7 since December so I can see why it's frustrating to leave it, especially since CM7 on the MT4G has absolute no stutter.
But people enjoy this phone for other reasons than what you enjoyed about the MT4G. The SGS4G is a great media phone, beats the **** out of the MT4G hardware wise IMO. It's lighter, and better built (I actually prefer plastic than metal). And the speaker quality is boss. Plus the video codecs are awesome on TW.
Yeah it's software is considerably slower than on the MT4G, but there's still plenty of things to love about the SGS4G.
But since you don't like it, just exchange it back for the MT4G. BTW, why did they offer you this phone? Did they run out of stock or something because I myself was about to call for another MT4G as my current one has problems with the digitizer/touch screen. And did they offer you just the SGS4G or any other phone?
Well so far I have had extended play with or owned an htc hero, samsung moment, hct evo 4g, htc g2, lg g2x and the sgs4g and consider this phone to be front of the pack. Furthermore this place is for the advancement of this phone and if you choose to bring nothing other than negativity to the table perhaps you should not come to it at all.

Yeah, they said they were out of stock of the MyTouch 4G and gave me several "comparable" phones to choose from. The problem with my MyTouch 4G was with the front facing camera (faulty user my ass, QUIETLYloud), and the SGS4G was the only option they gave me with a FFC, making it the only logical choice. I'm just going to call them later today to see if/when they'll have more MT4Gs in stock and, if not, if they'd be willing to work with me on a discounted upgrade to the Sensation or something similar.

Front of the pack? And you've used the G2x? That's interesting, considering I've rooted and flashed CM7 on a few G2x's for friends, and that phone is in an entirely different league than the SGS4G. It makes the SGS4G look the way my G1 did when I got the Nexus One.
Cm7 means nothing on a g2x that had constant force close and over heating issues. You are correct the g2x is in a different league. It got sent back and the sgs4g stayed. Bottom line is if you are unhappy with your phone return it. Don't jump on that phones forum and state how it is garbage just because YOU don't prefer it.

The speaker on this thing is not "boss." Listening to Google Voice voicemails over the speakerphone is nearly impossible. Basically have to put the phone up to my ear anyway. And this phone's speakerphone won't turn off. All calls are over speakerphone, no matter what I do. Worst.
We are not tmobile customer service, if you have problems contact them, dont be posting this garbage on here.
All I'm saying is that, while it does have a great display, this phone is weak, laggy, has unresponsive keys, takes sub-par photos, has 2/3 the minimum amount of RAM that should be expected from current-gen Android devices and it performs poorly overall. I think this falls into the "General" forum category and, therefore, is completely on-topic.

Hey guys, i am currently interested in getting the g2x to dev on. I dev for the Moto defy since the day it came out and have plenty of roms. Now my question is how are you guys experience with this device? I've read some complaints of tons of reboot and back light leak, poor signal..etc.. Any comments would be much appreciated, looking forward to getting this phone
Very good device. Some have backlight bleed but only really noticeable in the dark and when looking at it on an angle.
I haven't had any reboots recently but once when i got a call and after hung up it just died and had to pull battery.
Main problem seems to be that Nvidia's lack of sources for A2DP functionality for stereo bluetooth and that 2.3.3 is on froyo kernel so further updates with custom roms would be difficult.
thanks for the reply, how are the roms? Any problems with current roms ?

In all honesty, CM7 works perfectly even with the lack of a2dp support. 2.3.3 OTA based roms (namely Weapon G2x) works just as well if you want that close to stock feel with more features. MIUI has all the same problems CM7 does since they run off the same kernel.
I've never had any issues with reboots, and if people do it's probably because of rogue apps running in the background. I never had a reboot because I like keeping my app drawer as minimal as possible At least, that is my theory
I love my g2x..just checked the sgs2 but not really into that much, my g2x on Cm7 was faster... The roms are good, I do agree with the lack of tegra support but Meh. Love it..please get one and welcome..
I love my phone.
Excellent performance, excellent display, and excellent battery life. I'm on my 3rd one, but that was because my first one kept locking up, and my 2nd replacement came damaged.
I love this phone, and I wouldn't want to replace it with anything else until the Nexus Prime. ^_^
Absolutely zero problems, love this phone so much. One of the best parts is the glass. It's curved, which makes unlocking it feel really good , and the glass feels really thick and solid. Also NO scratches, coming from an iphone all these things are huge. Loving it.
I feel like this phone can stay up to date with most of the devices coming out right now... On Android, you don't actually need 1GB of RAM... Heck, 512MB is more than enough! I'm gonna hold out until the quad core phones start coming in... If the Nexus Prime is still a dual core, I won't even bother.
I got 99 experiences but a reboot ain't one.
My 1st G2x is running good.
no reboots, no reception issues.
runs great and my app drawer always has at least 200 apps.
lol
I haven't started deving /theming on it yet.
Thanks everyone for you input! Just placed the order for it and cant wait to get. Never dev for any other devices besides moto , so im looking forward to this.
Awesome a new dev!!! Wanna thank you in advance. Good luck

Reboots
My wife and I both have our 3rd G2x (due to replacements of bad phones). The phones we have now are doing well, however we both did experience a random SHUTOFF not reboot. It only happened twice, so I'm just waiting to see if that happens again, really weird.
My G2x is is running great. On my second one due to random shut downs on my first. I only experienced a couple reboots until I got a brand new battery and rooted the phone. Currently running Eagles Blood 2.3.5 others no misshaps. Love it.

This is a great phone. For those of us that have had no problems, the intended impact of the device is evident.
However, you cannot ignore what a lot of people went through. for many, the g2x experience was the worst possible.
LG and T-Mobile appear to have let the phone fade away. Even though its for sale, and can be had for cheap, it no longer appears in comparison with other good phones on the market today. Check the reviews out their today...cnet, etc....The powers that be have let it fade away.
Even DEVs appear to have moved on. Many of the people here a few months ago have moved to other devices. Even saying that, there are some real good ROMs out there...just less people deving them.
In all honesty I have to say, this phone is the best phone I've owned. But in that same honesty, I'd have to say, you may want to consider something else. Even the Sensation is now getting far more press and exposure from T-Mobile than this beauty. There are TONs of ROMs available for the Sensation and some of the best DEVs from the android world are there.
I've recently considered the Bionic....but the VzW pricing plan is just too much. Minimum $100 a month to walk out with a Bionic.
I love the G2x. But if you want long term upgradabiity...you may wish to look elsewhere.
Just my opinion....

No. It just finds it. Maybe not on second one, but 10-20.
Also, I came to G2x from the Bold, which would die in a day with no usage under dead zones. That was a huge problem - I was forced to enable and disable airplane mode all around. The G2x is great in that matter.

I have noticed that a lot of problems happen under the stock ROM or roms based on the stock one.
Flashing something like CM7 or MIUI fixes a lot of problems.
