Hey guys, it's been real...

After the long, dreary task of fooling with AT&T, Samsung and (5) warranty replacements, I am no longer a Captivate or AT&T customer.
I walked over to VZW and picked up a Droid X on 2.2.1 and I must say I love it! Gonna slide on over to the X forums and see what ROM's are cooking. I appreciate all your help guys and loved Axura more than anything!
ROCK ON!

If only the iPhone was available with someone other than AT&T, then I'd jump ship too. But, alas that just isn't the case, so I'm stuck with AT&T for the foreseeable future.

Does AT&T pro-rate the ETF like Sprint does? I'm looking to get out myself. I don't see myself sticking with AT&T until October 2012

I wish it would have worked out because I hate going through all the change, but man....................I am so much happier and already feel a weight lifted by not having to deal with it anymore. I will never own another Samsung phone as long as I live unless it is free.

If the Droid X had a Super AMOLED screen and was on AT&T I'd jump ship too.

LOL those were the requirements for ME to jump ship.

That was the reason i left tmobile... The Vibrant; they pissed me off and after 3 replacements i left to AT&T and i regret it so bad... Att sucks and the iphone is even worst lol so Im back to android

If AT&T doesn't get any high-end Android phones before Verizon gets LTE Android phones, good-bye AT&T.

OK... let me rephrase it to "any OTHER high end Android phones"
Yes the Captivate is very high end... unfortunately us early adopters have been screwed by Samsung (i.e. GPS and shutdown problems). I am convinced the GPS problem is hardware based after seeing a newer Captivate lock quickly while mine just sat there...

The Motorola Olympus is rumored to come out to AT&T in January but...
I agree with you on the GPS, hardware problem.

I'm still holding out for an 850 Nexus S... like they did with the Nexus One.
You can also get a Desire Z from Bell Canada that would work fine. It's basically the G2 with Sense UI.

G2X Price Drops..?

Anyone else a bit taken back by the drastic price drops on the G2X? Not in a good way... I feel like the G2X could be the Vibrant all over again...

"The best technology never makes you think about it. It's just always brilliant."
- LG G2X Amazon Page
I'm sorry but with all the problems this phone has against it (similar to the Vibrant): Overheating, Shotty Network/Data Connections, Reboots, Lock-ups it seems like T-Mobile is readying for another magic trick. Granted, from what I've gathered reading these forums certain problems (mentioned above) could be completely unrelated. I personally feel that the poorly tinkered network/data connect software T-Mobile f***ed into this phone coupled with the completely separate battery issues are reeking havoc on the phones in a variety of ways.
Just a thought.
As a past Vibrant user (unfortunately) I felt compelled to report the similarities arising again... and all the Vibrant base got [after their woes] was a ****ty Froyo update and the Samsung Galaxy S 4G releasing swiftly via T-Mobile.
I really thought the Vibrant must've been a fluke for T-Mobile, as it was my first leap into the smartphone & Android markets (came from a flip phone, no txts or data). Seems I was wrong in my judgement for trusting them with a second/different product. Don't get me wrong... This phone is great (in theory) but so far it is dragging with bugs and this leaves me torn... =/

Your looking into it way way to much..... All phones on tmobile go on a quick sale... I bought a vibrant for 250 starting my contract in august.... a month later I buy one for a add a line for my brother for 50 bucks..... Its just the tmobile way... A droid x is still 200 in my area.... And a epic 4g is 150

Hm... perhaps. I'll think it over a nice bowl to cool the thoughts down a bit lol, 4:20 is coming a little early this morning I suppose.
I guess I just want a phone that works [ultimately]... Seems like the T-Mobile way is to release half-assed, beta quality products (at least in these eyes, I understand experiences vary). I went along thinking T-Mobile was a great company until I jumped on the Android bandwagon. Guess one can't get too butt-hurt over a company acting as soulless as they do sometimes... it's in their nature. =/

Coming from a vibrant I see where u are coming from. It was the biggest pile of a phone I have ever had. It was also my first android experience after being an avid bb user.
I do see some short comings in my g2x but I hope things don't get bad. I also despise Samsung as a company and blame the vibrant fails on them. It seems ateast to me they push a product hard and never support it. They did the same thing on a TV I bought. After there lack of support on the vibrant I will never own another Samsung product. I just hope the g2x is not the same way.

I respect your point of view but I disagree with you.
I come from a Galaxy S 4G and this phone is way better and faster.
If you are experiencing those kind of issues, I would advise you to exchange it. I haven't really experience those kind of issues and the only real problem to me has been data disconnecting.
Now that I have flashed many ROM's I have come to the conclusion that EB 1.04 is the best and not many disconnections since I settle.

Oh well I guess thats not so bad.

About to buy a G2X

Im about to buy a G2x from someone on craigslist for the low price of $280. Ive been reading the forums all day and it seems like i may just be buying myself some trouble. Im planning on flashing CM7 as i did on all my 3 phones i own right now. WHat should i expect and not expect? Is the phone even worth $280 considering all the issues?

CM7 works perfectly fine for me with the stock kernel. I have absolutelt no problems other than the torch app sometimes acting up. I would nab that deal in a heartbeat. I love my phone. Although it seems as if some phones on weird and slight occasion dont flash properly or just plain have a weird problem with APN's. And it is known that some G2X's dont handle overclocking and undervolting as well as others. I have a theory that alot of the nards that are having major problems all the time are doing something wrong or getting a bad download or something along the lines of that. Good luck and cheers!

i have had no problems with reboots whatsoever. also, if you read a little more you would see that gingerbread has been released by LG. Even though it may not be official a lot of users is reporting positive reviews so far. it's only a matter of time before we see custom roms using this base and our phones will be that much better.

As long as the hardware seems in good working order then yes it's a great buy.

its incredible that the price has gone up so much. i got mine for $99 + free activation! but you should be able to get it for $240. the gingerbread upgrade will fix a lot of issues and cyanogenmod with the latest drivers for gingerbread will take it the rest of the way. If I were you, I would wait until the price comes down but if you have $ to spend then go for it.

just go to them and ask them to price match. I had to try it with three different stores around the area and one of them priced matched so you might have to ask around.

At $280 buy it. Now that GB is out, it going to go up in price when people start catching on, so far update has fix a few issues.

Yea great buy considering the phone sells for $499 plus tax whoever selling it for $280 is either an idiot or brilliant because he selling u a ****ed up phone

What? You can get G2x's for even lower than that on craigslist. It's not that he's selling a broken phone. It just depends on the person. I've seen brand new iphone's go for less than that. It's that some people just don't care to do their research especially if they got the phone on contact... They sell the phone for less than what they paid on contact..

Woot! congrats. I only run into problems when overclocking and undervolting and im not heavy on my phone much anyways. The only thing that doesnt really wirk is A2DP but i dont use that anyways so meh..

http://www.intomobile.com/2011/08/24/apple-iphone-5-may-land-tmobile-too/
This would be all we need with tmobile a bunch of the Iphone cult clogging up the 4g airwaves. Just stick to att and verizon ok.

Haven't heard anything that says it will be on Tmobile's 4G.
Tmobile currently has 1 million iPhone users, but they are all on edge data speed.

I doubt the iPhone 5 will have "4g" capability this go around. It sounds like the 5 will be cross platform (CDMA/GSM) to get the iPhone to the masses. I bet we'll see specific versions of the 5 later on with carrier specific specs to connect to the respective "4g" networks. Maybe an iPhone 5gs later on?

I can't see it not coming with aws this time around. Android has put the heat on apple and they want to get the iphone to as many customers as possible. The best way to do that is to offer it on every network in the US. And with the merger coming it makes sense.
Sent from a Delorean with a flux capacitor in 1985

iphone 5 is still gunna be 3g because apple dont wanna pay 30 bucks more per iphone to make it 4g so no it will not be on tmobile

I was speaking to the Tmo Business Rep that handles our companies phones and he was saying he heard rumors of an unlocked iphone that would work on tmo site and be might be capable of running 4g. I usually take these "I've heard rumors" with a grain of salt but ya never know. Im not an apple person I will gladly stick with my G2X

As much as I don't like the iPhone, I hope it does come to T-Mobile. It would mean more customers and more revenue. Both are things that T-mobile really needs.

I agree...but for other reasons. Tmo would finaly have a smart phone for dumba55's. That would mean a lot nicer, cleaner, friendly XDA. just think, all the retards that have G2x that moan, groan and complain would dump this device and go jump on the lame a55, no brain to think with band wagon. Actually all tmo devices listed in the forum would benefit from this. I hope it is a 3g phone. As much as I hate apple I kind of hope it does happen. Some things that could make this bad is allowing it to run 4g/H+. Customer care would be even worse(had longest wait ever today. 1 hour just to talk to a Rep.) I guess its a wait and see thing. Final thought iPhone=no individuality

No Lte support
I have read a couple articles saying LTE support will not be out with the Iphone 5.
I am not to worried about it as I am sure the network can handle it. Now if ATT wins .... that's another story.

OK I do software support for fruit software. Things I can say. A. Lte will not make it to the 5. B. It will come to Tmob/sprint this go around. C. There is a SLIM chance due to a battle being waged that the iPhone could finally have flash support. Someone might have realized HTML 5 isn't happening for everyone right now...
Beyond that look for a late Sept./Oct 1st week release.

My upgrade is around the same time. If the GS III launch is anything like the GS II, it'll hit the states months after the rest of the world. I may buy a Galaxy Note and flash the radio that works with T-Mobile to tide me over until the GS III or something else comes along. Then I will have two awesome phones.

good for you. I am used to it... I was with Virgin Mobile before I came to T-mo and if you think T-mo is bad. *shudder* At least T-mo releases updates... In the history of VM there has been 1 update. 1 and only 1. To a outdated phone to an outdated os... So I personally can live with having a phone have 0 updates or go to it's end of life... There is always dev support.
Also people complaining of lack of dev support... There are lots of devs here compared to a lot of other phones...
