G2x to sensation - HTC Sensation

Hey guys I'm getting my sensation on Tuesday for an even trade with my g2x. What are things I have to be careful when I go look at the phone.? And lets say its defective but I didn't notice off the back can T-Mobile replace it.? I've heard people buying it off craigslist and getting it replaced via T-Mobile. Thanks guys.!

Vibrant 4g or G2x

Since I couldn't get my wife a nexus s with the upgrade. I decided to go with the vibrant 4g.
She got it on Friday via ups.
My questions is should I return the vibrant 4g and get the G2x since I can still return the phone

I'm also interested in the g2x. I work in the wireless industry and I got a chance to play with it and its amazing. Only issue is.....what's the resale value of the ns.

G2X no doubt. It has everything I've been looking for in a phone. Vanilla Android for faster update, nVidia Tegra 2 for exclusive games, HDMI mirroring and a good camera with flash.

G2 was said to be "stock" Android but it was nothing like stock. It looks like stock, but it's not 100% stock.
But have fun.

I think you should wait for Galaxy S 2.
The G2x is simply not worth it, its so bugged :S
I'll never touch that thing again...

I got the G2x... my wife got the new Samsung 4G... both are so awesome!
The 2Gx is faster since it has the dual cores... but either way, you'll love it. Go for the G2x tho if you're a gamer.
I just got the G2X and love it, I have the Vibrant T959 and then the Galaxy S 4G T959V (too many variance in names for the Galaxy S, Vibrant - sure you know can understand). Anyways not even rooted yest the G2X is an awesome phone! If I didn't get that I would have seriously gotten the 1st Vibrant T-Mobile came out with but not being 4G would have sucked but for the moment I would have been pleased.
Hope I didn't make anyone mad or offend anyone either. As you can see I did keep the T959V (4G) just to try to see if I could learn on how to improve it and help add to the positive and not negative. Hope that counts for something when reading this.

Then you should totally go with the G2X. I was disappointed with not having the internal extra memory and capabilities that go along with that and in fact was going to return the 4g but kept it and then got the G2X on Saturday, haven't even rooted it yet or really played on it and love it!
It's fun to because it is a totally different setup being LG and the 4g is to a naked eye JUST LIKE the Vibrant 3g without the space and internal memory features.
Post what you decided on and let me know what you think. You can always get the 4g to be sure and then return it. You will know the day you get it if you want it or not coming for the T959. Let me know what you do, I'm curious if it was just me or anyone else who did the same (thinking it was an upgrade) and was really disappointed with it. I didn't plan on buying it, just a impulse purchase I am so bad with those.
Do not regret for a moment the 2nd impulse purchase for a phone I don't even really need which was the G2X, that phone is awesome and there is a lot already out there for it (including flashing CWM). Good luck.

Problems i have with the sensesation

1. Coming from my mytouch 4g running sense 3.0 the sensation is a bit more laggy
2. Data has random dropped out issues
3. Wifi has terrible drops in and out
4. Screen does not seem as durable as my preivous HTC devices had it for 20 hours been babying it and has a scratch
5.battery life is horrible but that is to be expected
I have owned all HTC since g2 and never have I had this many issues thinking of returning it to t-mo and getting my money back any idea's

What did you take a diamond across the screen? The thing is Gorilla Glass and it's doubtful you were babying the screen and got a scratch.
Never had those problems
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Working great!
I can say after owning it for only 24 hours so far it is a blast. I haven't had any problems. There was one instance where the data stalled, but it hasn't lagged or reboot, or even heat up since I have had it on. Been running great for me!
My sensation runs great lol glad I didn't get a dud get a replacement and if that don't work maybe u just expecting something that this phone can't give you goodluck but ill send back asap if I was you

It only takes one grain of sand ( quartz ) in your pocket to scratch it. More of an unlucky thing than a failure of the gorilla glass .
None of those problems here.
Wifi calling works great.
I like Sense UI except for a few small things like accuweather db bull****
Browsing is nice and fast.
Trying to figure out how to get the stock car home to install.
My power button is too loose and will sit crooked sometimes. If I can get them to send me a replacement before receiving this one I may change it out.
I think ill take the advice and exchange I'm in a 4g area with full bars and it took like 3 mins to log onto xda. Thank u all for your comments

The data lag that you're referring to is an issue. Exchanging your phone will not resolve it. I found a fix (at least it works for the most part) that I posted in the developer section. As for the other problems you named, I'm not having any of those issues.
Got a Problem with watching divx movies... After a few minutes sound is gone ... This is my second sensation with the same problem can anyone help me?
After killing video player and start again sound works but turns off again after some time
Yo you saying that is wierd because my first sensation came from Walmart and it had every bug imaginable, got one from tmobile yesterday and its running like Bugati!!! Walmart be running some shady business tactics. $148.88 is in place for a reason. Real talk.

I thought I was the only person that had the crocked power button. Everything else is fine except the speaker rattles when playing music loud and with bass and that's pretty much and it heats up when charging and using it.

I had the exact opposite happen, I'd recommend Walmart over Tmobile. Why would you want to pay the full retail price tax instead of the Walmart price of 148.00? just sayin...
got mine from walmart and dont have any issues really
I cant play back video i take and no one here is helping me .. I habe my own thread amd have no help , im on my second one and its still doing it, can anyone here help please??

I despise walmart but I found humor in what you wrote. So you're saying that Walmart opens the devices and fudges them up, then sends them out "all whack yo"? You don't think it's more likely that it was just a bad device? The real reason why wally world can sell them so cheap is because it's bait to get you inside the store. Once inside, you're likely to do your shopping there and hence Walmart turns a profit. Most of these other retailers sell it at almost cost and make their money on screen protectors, and cases.

G2x warranty

Hi guys I'm really interested in buying g2x and unlock it . Since I live in canada ill be using it with mobilicity so if anything goes wrong with device can I get a replacements or I have to be T-Mobile customer in usa ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I bought a LG g2x from Washington last week to use on Mobilicity. So far I'm loving it.
No clue what I'll do if something goes wrong with the hardware as you need a T-Mobile account to take advantage of the warranty.

You'd call LG directly. They're the ones that actually handle the year warranty.
1 yr warranty
So this beast actually has a one year warranty from LG. Assuming the patch or GB does not correct my lone issue (non-functioning GPS unless I run LocMgrPD first) then I theoretically could return for a new device from what I hope would be a new production line.
Not to hi-jack the thread, but do we know if the GPS is a known issue that will be addressed?

Anybody interested in a g2x with no screen bleeding? :-)

So after much debating I decided to finally get rid of my g2x since I've been using the sensation more and more. I was planning on selling it about a week ago but the vibration motor died out on me. Today I finally received my replacement from tmobile and to my big surprise the one I got has no light bleeding at all!! So I figured I would post it here right away before posting it on ebay seeing as pretty much everyone has been complaining about the issue.
I will upload some pictures later since im using the phone app right now. I still have the original box and everything that came with it plus two cases that ill throw in there for free.
Please pm me if interested
I didn't find a marketplace forum in the app so if this is the wrong place can a moderator please move it?
Thanks

Yeah I would pay $200-250 for an extra G2x but no more really. It would be tempting at that price
I've been thinking about getting a backup one for a while now. *hint hint*
I bought mine on eBay for $255 plus shipping in excellent condition. The ones that were in mint condition only went for slightly (maybe $20) more. $300 would be the ultimate top end if you got super lucky.
I pretty much said $320 for negotiation purposes lol. Probably will end up going for around $300

Well I saw his post and figured I had two options make my own which would still be a form of hijacking...his then mine and if I undercut in mine I'd be screwing him... Or just post in his let him know my intent is to not compete but be equal so that they can both go. Thought it was the more mature approach. However it's always easy to see maturity doesn't go far on xda.

I honestly don't mind lol if people think you're giving them a better deal then that's their opinion and there's nothing I can do about it. Also if mine doesn't sell over here it'll sell on ebay or craigslist so I'm really not that worried about it

If that's the case I'm looking for 275$ ill cover the shipping and include the box from the original plus all the other crud. Price is firm on that. It will be coming from Dallas TX.
If I don't get that some retard on Craig's will gladly pay more.

Audio jack and at&t replacement question.

Hello guys, my inspire's audio jack is nearly shot. The music is crackly and it stops and skips. I know its not my beats or the cable. I was wondering if i unrooted my inspire and walked into an at&t service center if they would replace it with a refurb. I bought it the month it came out and i have no insurance on it. Any thoughts?
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
I don't think most stores carry the refurbs. You would have to call ATT support for that. But as long as the phone does not look physically abused on the outside I would say you stand a good chance getting it exchanged. What have you got to lose?

You have to install an unrooted stock ROM and return the phone to s-on. Advanced Ace Hack Kit will do what you want.

Nice thanks.
The past three times I've had phones replaced, I've called ATT. They send you a replacement phone in 2-3 days and you have 2 weeks to send back your old one. I've never been to a service center, because I don't want to give them an opportunity to reject my phone on the spot (in case of scratches or scuffs, etc).
