Okay so i bought a Sensation from T-mobile the other day, took it home saw a lot of contacts in it, went back to explain to the guy that i had gotten a used or defunct-ed phone. He claimed it wasn't and they were false example numbers HA! Anyway i bit my tongue cause the phone was pristine and tried it for 48 hours. Over the course of 2 days of trying to calibrate the battery and use the phone i noticed i wasn't even getting 6 hours out of it with MINIMAL use. So i went back to T-mobile returned it and got the G2X. I kinda really like the phone but have noticed 2 flaws that are eating at me for a full priced new phone. 1. there is screen tearing on the screen causing slight bleeding. and 2 there is a gash UNDER the glass and i can see it very clearly on the phone. I am taking this phone back tomorrow.
My question is someone please tell me why i should own the Sensation how is the battery did i get a defunct-ed phone that someone returned? My concern is NOT benchmarks its the battery. Thanks guys!
The lg g2x I'd known for having a bad screen as for the sensation, yes I do think you got a used one. Otherwise why would there be someone else's contacts on there. There's always the new mytouch 4g slide that is amazing.

oh i agree about it being used, i just wasn't sure if the battery was the reason it was returned. The T-mobile guy claims the battery is crappy cause its a dual core phone HAHA. I swear these guys have no type of knowledge with these things. Reason im doing this thread is cause i am torn between the g2x and sensation i've had both and liked both but because of Sense 3.0 i feel like the G2X is so much quicker, and the battery last me all day!
Quick and straight to the point, buy the anker 1900mah battery for $10 bucks and have two fold in battery performance.. Yes the oem battery is poo but these things make it amazing, i could go into every detail to why the sensation is worth keeping but since its just the battery then just go for the anker and be happy forrrrrrrrrrrrrr everrrrrr.
worst come to worst the ppl mayb clear up all the contacts and sell back to other ppl..haha..sensation is good plus already can s-off, root and install custom ROM..so what u waiting for? i prefer a high end performance phone rather than good looking phone..htc phone designs are all the same/almost the same
If you get the sensation again do a factory reset right off the bat. My first one had HORRIBLE battery life and a factory reset make it last at least 2x longer, no joke.

First of, don't go back to that store. Stay clear of the g2x. Since you are within the grace period I WILL hurry up and exchange the phone for the sensation and this time don't leave the store without checking the new phone thoroughly. Take it from me. I owned the g2x from day one. It's a nice phone but I think the so called update the g2x will get from LG will be it's last. Just take a look at all their so called high end phones all still running froyo.

Yeah i am going to go for the Sensation, I've been reading pros and cons for both phones and a lot of people say the g2x has long term effects as where the Sensation has touch screen issues and sometimes comes with a crappy screen, these are things i could notice right off the bat and get a new one rather than have to warranty my phone every couple weeks etc.
Thanks again guys!
I initially got the Sensation as an upgrade to my Desire HD, but sent it back and got the Galaxy S 2 instead.
Getting 1.5 days on the Gs2 with moderate use.

This used phone was sealed in a box? Did you see it being taken out? Thats bonkers...
I have both the g2x and sensation. I had to swap mulitple times to get a g2x with a decent enough screen. They're both very good phones. You'll probably get pro-sensation answers if u ask here.

I have been really excited to get this phone, but every day I keep seeing major issues coming up. I just got the phone today and have 14 days to return it. I just dont know if im sold on it, especially if Galaxy S 2 is just on the horizion. It seems like there is potential. They wouldnt let me upgrade on my tmobile account, so we signed my wife up for a new account. Just cant decide if I should return it and cancel the account or keep it and cancel my account. Thoughts?

I received my second G2x(replacement for the first one) and in less than 6 hours it is has proved to be worse than the first one. Tm is sending me a replacement but if this one has issues than I will definitely wait for SGSII. I really do like this phone but I cannot put up with black screen freezes while charging and while talking on the phone as well as lcd screen bleeding and signal issues etc.. If you got a good one without a lot of issues I would say keep it, however if you got one like one I received than I would advise to either replace or just return.

I bought two phones, both work flawlessly. This is also true for the great majority of people who purchased this phone. Some unlucky (or in some cases possibly too picky) people, however do have some issues. If you plan on holding out for a phone with no reported issues, however, I wish you good luck.
Love. Simply love it.

I like mine so far except for the battery issue (software glitch?) and a few other software glitches (vibrator stays on during a call sometimes, and the phone got stuck in a reboot-launcher-crash loop when I removed the Vino or whatever reader), the thing I miss most is a physical keyboard!
I'm having issues with mine but when it's working this phone is amazing. I really think if you give it a month we'll have most of these issues worked out either by LG updates to 2.2 or even a new 2.3 or CM7.

In fact on sure the phone was launched early to avoid running against the sensation. I'd day with 2.3 the sensattion does not have a chance.

Came from a nexus s and I love this phone! The screen is awesome, even for a lower Res it looks sharp. I recently went to a tmo store and they told me the gs2 wont be coming for tmo till q3. So if u plan on staying in tmo, you'll probably be waiting for a while. Unless the Rep was lying.

Honestly there is only ONE thing I dont LOVE LOVE LOVE about this phone. Im not a fan of my screen bleeding seen here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050691
Other than this issue I feel like this is everything I wanted in a phone when I bought my vibrant. Unfortunately the vibrant was dissapointment after dissapointment. Only think good about it was the beautiful screen. Its so blazing fast, the camera is really good, FFC, stock android, CM7 support SOON, 4g, flash, super nice and bright screen and lots of other great features. Notice how I said the screen is super nice even with the screen bleeding which only shows up on a black screen. Honestly OVERALL the screen is much nicer than the SAMOLED screen by samsung. During the day its actually visible and has a better field of view. Sure the samsung has deeper blacks but overall its worth the trade for a much more versatile screen overall. Being able to use stock android again feels like im back to my roots. I hated touchwiz and soooo happy to be done with it.
Love it. No issues (yet?), and I've been cranking it hard, putting it through it's paces.
Love this phone, build quality right up there with my beloved hd2. Even the haptic feedback is sexy.
This is my second replacement and if I have anymore problems I'm taking it back and waiting for the HTC sensation or something.
Sent from my G2x
I'm in the same boat. I want to love it, but the screen is really a deal killer for me. Yes I know its normal for LCD screens to bleed, but whenever I'm watching videos at night it always seems to bug me. So I start 'messaging' the area and then it gets worse
Going to buy one at t-mobile store tomorrow to see if i get lucky. The lady said yeah if theres a manufacturers defect, then I can replace it on the spot. I don't know if they're just saying that though just to get me to buy it. If its a better one, I'll just send the one i have now back to t-mobile.
besides screen bleeding everythings a + for me. especially coming from an n1. development from cm7, which will make me love this phone even more. yes people will have problems with this phone but lets be honest. is every phone going to be perfect? there will always be pros and cons. people deal with it differently.
I'm loving this phone. I haven't had any problems at all. Screen is flawless, no rebooted or signal problems. I highly recommend it.

I have had my first g2x for a little over a week. I really liked the phone, but the screen bleed on the first one was pretty bad. If it was just a little bit of bleed I could of dealt with it. I had flashed over to bionix, and with the black status bar the bleed was horrid. It was hard to make out the status bar sometimes because they bleed was so bad. The phone did not have any random reboots that everyone else seems to have. I wish I could of kept it. I ended up calling t mobile and they shipped a new one.
Today I received my new replacement in the mail. It was a brand new phone. I opened up the box and installed the battery and went for initial boot. The first thing that I noticed was it had a cluster of dead pixels at the top of the screen. If it was one I might be able to deal with it. Although for having a new premium phone I don't necessarily expect it to be perfect, but this was unacceptable. Well then the phone booted and went to the little android that I needed to tap enter. I tapped him, then the phone had a bunch of forced closes and rebooted. I rebooted it and same thing happened 2 more times. By this time I had had enough. I called up t mobile to get another replacement.
They guy that I was talking too asked me since this was going to be my third one why didn't I wait for the htc sensation. I told him the reason I didn't want it was because it was too big, but the main thing is because of the locked boot loader. I asked if they had an actual date for release, but he did not have one. He said he has seen leaked documents on blogs giving a date. But we have all seen the same thing. I also sold my vibrant so I don't have another phone right now. I really like the g2x and want to keep it. I also like the idea of the tegra 2. I am a big fan of nvidia, and their support has always been top notch. I hope I get a good third phone, because I really want to keep the g2x.
On a side note, I re-upped my contract to get this phone at the upgrade price. I was told today that to get new phone and not a refurb I had to extend my contract so that the 2 years started from today. Not that 2 weeks of extension was that big of deal but to me that's kind of ridiculous. It's not my fault I received faulty phones, why should I have to re up my contract. I know its only 2 weeks, but that is just a stupid policy. Or maybe it was just the guy I was talking too. I am just tired of these big company's taking advantage of the little guy for things that are not even our fault. I should not have to re-sign my contract because of faulty equipment. I was half tempted to just return the phone right there and tell them to cancel my contract. Not that 2 weeks will kill me, but for the principal of the fact. Has that happened to anyone else that had to return their faulty g2s's?
Another sob story about this phone. This is bad. Why was this device released if it is such a pile. Where is and what happened to LG quality control????

I went to tmobile website and this phone has so many good reviews. I don't understand because this is also my 3rd one, and I'm about to return it too. If not for light bleeding, then it is for all the rebooting and freezing for no reason. Could it be because all of my phones are shipped from the warehouse in KY...where are the good ones come from? Any idea?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
The manufacture date of my phone is only 5/9/2011 so its was not even made 2 weeks ago. It makes me think it cant be a warehouse thing because the phone only being manufactured 10 days ago could not of had that much time to sit on the shelf. I am actually surprised that it can make it from the factory in Korea to my doorstep in 10 days.

Hi,
Mine shipped from KY and its great, production date 4/26. Screen bleed is very very minimal at the top and really isnt very noticeable unless you read these threads and look for it. I had one reboot but that was because I got the phone stuck when trying to stream music directly from the browser and it went a bit bazerk. But other than that this is a GREAT phone. My friend and his wife got one(from radio shack) with no problems whatsoever and so I would guess there is a bad batch around or something.
In regards to the good reviews about the g2x on Tmobile's site, I posted a negative one and it was removed after the first day. I think they clear out the bad comments.
My 3rd was a refurbished..and I've never owned one past 14 days. And I got in from a Rep.
Still after never getting a NEWphone that worked they tried to send me a refurbished phone.
That just really hit me in a bad way.
Unfortunately from the sound of customers who came to tmo from other carriers tmo is better.
That sucks.
I'm going to the sensation. The Rep did not deny the sensation would be here in a few weeks.
Just said they can't confirm until an official date is given.
My g1 was the best phone I swear.
I'm learning to trust HTC for a well made and tested phone.

somehow i got a whole "work day" out of my G1....which was from 3am to 3pm. granted i would be in the 15% range at the end of the work day but it did last most work days all day. slower work days like mid week i would carry my car charger just incase, but on weekends when it was busy i would actually be at 30% area of remaining battery at end of same hours due to less use. the G1 was a decent slab of hardware. i sold it to my friend that just moved on to a G2 2 months ago, and said it still worked perfect. I got the G1 about 2 weeks after its retail release.
I got a cappy and love it but my wife dont so i got her a HTC inspire and its SUC on battery life!! She hate it so i need help choosing new phone for her. Thanks guys
Atrix or Infuse? or? Att network only.
I would definately get her the Infuse, although you will then have the problem of being jealous of wifey's new phone, lol. I am in the opposite position. My gf loves my cappy and I can take it or leave it, so when I get my infuse next month she will inherit my cappy. The Atrix just feels too plastic/junky to me and odds are there will be far more options for modding the infuse than the Atrix. Take her to the AT$T store and let her monkey with both of them a bit. Good luck!
my girlfriend got an inspire a few weeks ago and hers gets awesome battery life, she can go two days before charging, and thats pretty heavy use, but stock it wasnt that great, i installed rcmix3d
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984805
you might try it, seems to work pretty darn good for battery, failing that, i would go with the infuse
Most phones have similar battery life. With 3G data on, you will not pass two-day mark of normal usage. If you want longer battery life, switch to 2G or turn off data.
For ladies that usually don't like to tweak their phones, an iPhone or WP7 phone is more appropriate choice, IMO. My wife certainly don't like my Captivate at all (me neither ).
What exactly does this thread have to do with the captivate?
Sorry, just seeing as this is the captivate general sub-forum, you'd think it would have at least something to do with the device.
Thanks for all the replie everyone. I rooted the inspire and try couple diff rom and battery still bad. Unplug in the morning and it down to 30 percent by 3pm with little to no use. im going to get her an infuse and well see how its work out. Thanks to ATT 30 days trial.

Normal use doesn't mean play games for an hour. None of my friends ever bring a spare battery with their HTC phones,even the one with HTC TB. I'm pretty sure my Captivate will pretty much dead if I play games for an hour.
Ok, so I have a G2x right now with some wear and tear (scratched and knicked up corners from dropping several times). Do you guys think that trading the G2x plus 200 bucks is a good deal for a brand new in-box factory sealed Sensation? I am just fed up with the G2x and the overheating and freezing and the frequent battery pulls I have to do on it. I just need a dependable reliable phone and the G2x has yet to fill that need. I've tried several ROMs and the phone still has issues even with the new GB update. What do you guys think of this deal? I don't want to get ripped off. Let me know, thanks.
Not a very good deal, what if the phone isn't legit for one. And you have thar many issues still with the phone you should be able to go to tmobile and get a deal from them for the sensation. I wouldn't do that deal at all, unless I was giving you the sensation lol.

I tried getting something through t-mobile but i used my upgrade in april for the g2x so they told me all they could do was swap for another g2x or pay full retail for a sensation ...Is there anyone at t-mo that can get me a better deal? Thanks.
I'd do it. I'm so fed up with my G2x that I'm thinking of getting what I can for it on e-bay and going to another carrier. I don't care if the sensation is laggy, as long as it works and HTC doesn't jerk me around any longer. Just my opinion.
Hell yea that's a good deal and if anyone says differently....Their high! Even if you end up getting a bad Sensation, you could still sell it for a lot more than you would ever get out of your G2X. Go ahead and do the deal man. You wont regret it. The Sensation just got the unlocked bootloader so game on. I've been using my Sensation for 2 months and rarely ever pick up my G2X anymore. I'm actually getting ready to throw it on Ebay since I really have no use for it anymore. I was using it to play around with ROMS but now I can start doing that on my Sensation which will be getting Cyanogen any day now.

Just out of curiosity what rom are u running? Since updating via LG tool then wiping and installing xboarders rooted GB my phone is pure awesomeness, not a single issue (though mine didnt have many to begin with).

I have tried MIUI, CM7, EB 1.06 based off of v21e, Xboarders 2.3.3 based off of V21e, and Faux's AOSP 2.3.5. While the LG 2.3.3 update has definitely resolved some bugs I still get the overheating, and the sleep of death. I still find myself doing battery pulls once a day. This is with all of these ROM's I just mentioned. It's very unfortunate because I honestly want to like the G2x but it's difficult.
I know that there are some good ROMs out there and I've looked into installing them but I shouldn't have to install a ROM on a $500 device to make it work properly. It is not like I am a phone super user. I surf a little, make some calls, and play a game or two but now instead of a reboot, it just stops working. And all of the "The Update Will be soon" then nothing announcements have killed all of Tmobile's credibility with me. Not to mention that LG released an "Update" apparently without even telling Tmo, then Tmo followed, and not I'm hearing rumors that the update was discontinued (not confirmed yet). . . . Seriously? F, it. I'm taking my ball and going to home.
Htc sensation has more and worse issues than the g2x.. I traded for the sensation just like you, went through 3 of em.... That phone has 3 types of screens, bad I mean horrible wifi, screen won't respond after a week, dust, etc.... The only thing better on the sensation is the camera.....
I had 3 sensations all same issues, 4 g2xs one had dust, one dead pixel and the other two work great as the first few did but with dust and pixel.......

Just like there are G2X's out there with no problems, there are also Sensations out there with no problems. I would say both have there issues on a large scale but which phone bow adays doesn't? I had to go through 5 G2X's to get a good one and 3 Sensations to get a good one. My last Sensation that I've had for over a month has absolutely zero issues and definitely not any of the ones you ran into. My Sensation can actually get a WiFi signal further away from my house than my G2X can and out of the 5 Sensations I've seen in person, not one has had dust under the display. I did have 2 Sensations that ran into the touch screen issues but the one I'm using now and my wife's who has had hers for 2 months have never devoloped any touch screen issues. My wife usually complains about stuff not working on her phones but this is the first one she hasn't complained about. Ill agree that there is a lot of people who have certain issues but there is more who have no issues. Just because you got 3 bad phones doesn't mean everyone of them is bad. Hell, if that was the case, I would have gave up on the G2X long long ago before I even got my Sensation.
In the end, a brand new Sensation is worth a lot more than a used G2X. I should know since I stand to lose more money on my G2X than any other phone I've purchased at retail price.

For those of you guys who get replacements, do you pay the 20 dollar fee to get your phone replaced? Last I called to get a replacement for my dad Nokia, they said that we had to pay 20 bucks just to get a replacement. I mean after 4 or 5 phones, that's a lot of money!
Oh and 200 bucks sounds like too much. A Guy here on Craigslist was asking plus 80 for a brand new in box just got delivered Sensation.

Oh and 200 bucks sounds like too much. A Guy here on Craigslist was asking plus 80 for a brand new in box just got delivered Sensation.

Dude its really user preference, and user experience, like I for one love my g2x I think its awesome, was gonna get keep the sensation I had, but I didn't I honestly think the g2x is better in every way except maybe camera cuz the sensation snaps a pic with zero lag, anyways ur gonna do what your gonna do regardless I say get another g2x, I know u had bad experiences with them, but listen to me when I say there is good g2x's out there, I had mine since April, been great ever since, and don't forget every phone has its problems at launch there's no perfect device .. good luck man
I'm just torn right now this is tough. I'm hearing love stories from people with problem free G2x's and horror stories from those with buggy ones. Vice versa with the Sensation.
+1 once you get the sensation you will have to deal with new sets of problems of which btw the sensation has, and are way more wide spread than G2x.
I hope that you find a good phone that works for you.

Would you deal with new sets of problems or would you deal with the ones you already have?

My main concern is dependability. Does the Sensation freeze overnight, or overheat, or require a battery pull once daily? If the Sensation's problems don't hamper dependability and reliability then I will go with it.

Nope, nobody has complained of any problems like that on a wide scale. Maybe here or there but its very far and few between. Nothing like it is on the G2X. I really don't know what problems people are talking about on a large scale with the Sensation but the only one I know of on a large scale is the WiFi deathgrip when holding the phone in landscape. Everything else is petty bull**** like the screen bleed on the G2X

sprint has finally pissed me off to the point im REALLY looking to jump ship . and i get a really good deal on 4 phones and would save about 60 a month over what im paying atm with sprint .
data cap is not a problem since im on wifi mostly
so im asking how easy is the phone to root ? hows the rom's and CM7 ?
thanks for any advice
Love the Inspire(of course people here are biased though) the roms are definitely pretty good, CM7 has been my main one forever, it runs great, gets great battery, and is really just good quality in general. But with all the good stuff i have to say about the phone, I HATE AT&T with a passion after all of my experiences with them since I got this phone. The rooting process is easy, I highly recommend the phone, but AT&T is horrible and I would never recommend them to anyone. EVER.

thanks for the info
I love the phone. Its super fast, once rooted. I can't really tell you how easy it is to root as I didn't use the hack kit. Only bubby's and If the phone is new it'll have the gingerbread update and you'll have to use the hack kit. I read its about the same. Plan alot of reading and then half hour to root.
I been with ATT for about 7 years. The dude above most have some wierd personal issues cause in 7 years I have had to talk to ATT maybe 3 times and when I did I got exactly what i wanted. Last time I got a free Iphone 4.... I find them to be a good company. My Only issue is sometimes text messages take 20 minutes to arrive......By the time I or the wife get them I am standing next to her. Lol but even that doesn't happen all the time.

Same here. I've been with ATT going on 7 years and have had no problems. When I've had to call cs I haven't had any issues. As for the Inspire its great. It was my first android and was able to root it my first try with bubbys method. I'm currently on the virtuous unity beta even though the final build is out cause its that smooth.

The other guys are probably right, AT&T isn't as bad as I make them sound, I've just grown to hate them after countless hours on the phone with them. Granted most of my problems have actually been with my TV/internet services, although I did have a few issues with updates when I got the Inspire but I think they have that sorted out now. I'm mostly just bitter about my "4g" being slower than the 3g my sister gets on her Incredible and how horrible Uverse has been for me.
Switch to Inspire you'll love it.
I previously owned the iPhone 3GS, and one day i saw this phone at best buy for free and said screw it ill switch. I switched, and ill NEVER go back to Apple, or any other brand of phones other then HTC. Unless Apple drops their dumb restricts and creates something REALLY REALLY amazing.
you'll love this phone.
I love mine. Got it off eBay for cheap used, has a dark spot behind the LCD but doesn't affect anything. But long story short I love it. Master has a mt4g and have to say if I where to pick the inspire would come in first hands down . You cant really go wrong for the price it's going at att, you have a 8mp camera, duel flash, enough ram on board and about 1gig memory. CM7 is awesome on it, same goes for the Miui roms and if you like sense unlike me you'll enjoy the great selection of sense roms

Ya no probs with at&t either, and love love my phone.
I too used bubbys, and it was hecka easy. If you ever wonder about htc, check out some videos on their testing process, it will amaze you the things they put their phones through. They test the heck outta them.
And ninjas rom is amazing, right now 22 hours since last charge, and 65% still left on my battery. Freekin love it.

I had my original inspire stolen, I bought a sgs2 and yet for some reason I bought another inspire because I couldn't get it out of my head. [OT]Sense blows[OT] but a stripped version of CM is amazing.
I love my inspire 4G. And think I was about to get an atrix over this? Haha! I should slap myself! I too have been with at&t for a long time. They always solve all of my issues. Never had a problem with them.
