Thought some of you would be interested - T-Mobile LG G2x

I thought some of you might be interested since some of you have shown interest before. I just put my G2X on Ebay for a 24 hour auction with a Buy it Now Price. As I've said a million times before on these forums. My G2X has ZERO problems and very minimal screen bleed. I returned 5 of them to get this perfect phone. In the 4 months I've had it, it has not frozen or rebooted a single time. I know some of you are dying to get a bug free G2X so here's your chance. The starting bid is $275and the Buy it Now price is $375.
I know this isn't the right forum for this thread but some of the friends I've made here who might be interested might not see it in the market place.

Just a question, don't take it as hate. "If your phone is so perfect after 4-5 tries; then why sell such a good phone? "
P.S. I love my G2x.

Good bye, G2X. Hello, Sensation?

This is my official letter of resignation to the G2X.
I purchased my G2X about a month ago, thinking that everything would be just peachy. This phone was top-of-the-line material, dual-core, HDMI, and everything I thought would be cool.
I have had this phone a while now, and I am getting sick of it.
It all started with the text messaging. I would get message after message after message of the same message, like my friends were text-bombing me. Turns out they weren't. I called T-Mobile, and they said that it was a "message database error. Our server thinks that your phone didn't get the message, so it resends it in hopes that it receives it." Well, it wasn't the server. It was the phone. I flashed CyanogenMod nightly onto the device, and successfully fixed that error.
Second, the battery life. The device drinks battery like a drunken sailor drinks alcohol. I couldn't make the device last a full day. No matter if I froze the bloatware and didn't use it, the phone would be dead by nightfall. However, through CyanogenMod, it let up on the drink-age, but not enough. Also, the CyanogeMod nightly would have strange errors with the battery display. It would lock at a certain percentage, then drop unexpectedly, and lock again.
Third, the GPS. No matter where I am, the GPS will not locate me quickly. If I want to get directions back home, it can find the directions easily. But, it spends 15 minutes trying to locate me. I drive and I drive in hopes of a location, but to no luck. Finally, as I approach my house, it kicks in and guides me the rest of the way. I just think on a phone with such processing power, GPS should be the last of my worries.
Fourth, the screen-bleed. Now, this is debatable, and I feel as though my device doesn't really have too much of an issue with this. But, I still cited it as a problem with T-Mobile, because it really is. When the screen is blacked-out, I can see white patches in the corners drawing into the center. Not good for such an expensive device.
Lastly, the heat. This phone cooks at higher temperatures than my George Forman. When I am trying to download a large package or watch a movie, this phone gets hot to the touch. The battery feels warm, and my hands get all sweaty. Not good.
I went into T-Mobile today, and asked if I could have a replacement or exchange. They said no. I had passed up my 14-day return policy.
I found it odd that the G2X was not visible in the store at all. Before, it had been placed prominently in the high-end-smartphone section, with a spotlight to attract attention. Now, it has been replaced with the G2. The store still has the cases and screen protectors, but no G2X.
I called T-Mobile and asked for a replacement device, it is all I could do.
One thing I found interesting was that with all the issues I relayed to the representative, she said none of them are issues with the device that T-Mobile knows of. I really want to call shenanigans on that. T-Mobile has to know about this.
My hopes are to get two replacements within 90-days. This will qualify me for a replacement with another phone of similar qualities. The lady on the phone told me that the computer analyzes the phones and chooses a compatible one for me. I am crossing my fingers that the compatible phone will be the Sensation.
The replacement comes in the mail tomorrow.
I plan on waiting a few days before calling back and citing the errors that the replacement has.
So, good bye G2X. Hello, Sensation.
What are some other issues with the device that are worth citing?
I know it's kinda "morally incorrect" but, I want to know these errors so I can have a full arsenal when I call.
I really hope you get a Sensation. I'm praying for you.
Thank you, man.
Do you think the Sensation will be pulled up as a "similar device" for the G2X?
I don't want to trade for like a G2 or the HTC Galaxy S.
Replacements
They will only offer the Vibrant 4g as a replacement. The Sensation is too near start of life for it to be offered. Good luck either way but after a 90 minute phone call with care and Executive care (1-800-318-9270) I was told the same thing.
Do not want.
Why the Vibrant?
I want a phone that has Dual Core capabilities, and the Vibrant (Galaxy S) doesn't have that.
Now, 1GHz is still good, but..

Oh God just go already! Why do people feel the need to post these stupid "Goodbye cruel g2x" messages. I understand discussions about bugs and flaws your phone may have...but these silly "I'm leaving" pronouncements are just clutter.
It's not constructive, no one really cares, and it's just flame bait. You would do much better if you were to go to the Sensation forums and announce your grand arrival...I'm sure someone there would appreciate it.
In conclusion, so long and don't let the door hit ya on the way out!

+1 g2x is beast
if gps which is such a complaint for so many phones on these forums is such a big deal and has to be accurate to the millimeter then suggest that you get a tom tom a compass and duct tape it to what ever phone you are currently pissed at.
I'll save you the disappointment now and tell you, Tmobile doesn't have a phone in their input into their system as a replacement for the G2X. In other words, they WILL NOT swap you into a different phone. The most they will do is give you an early upgrade and "allow" you a full discount to purchase the Sensation. I spent all day yesterday speaking with several different members of several different department's management teams and that was the only solution offered other than letting me out of my contract (which they did do). Also, you don't need to wait days before you call them, just go ahead and call them back immediately. Also, they are aware of the problems with the phone as it is well documented in their company, and anyone there with any knowledge knows the reason the phone was pulled was due to quality issues (which they admitted to me on several occasions). It really is pathetic how Tmobile feels it's alright to screw over their customers the way they are doing. I called the corporate phone number yesterday and left a message and am expecting a call back from the corporate office tomorrow. Hopefully there will be some accountability...

2 days ago, I called Customer Care and essentially told them that I would be getting the Sensation in exchange for the G2X at no cost to me what so ever. I made sure it happened, in a nice way of course. I didn't give them a chance to say otherwise
I made sure Customer Care put in the notes on my account BEFORE I delt with the retail store (where I purchased my G2X on 6/03), that any restocking fee would be waived....that it would simply be a straight across the board swap for my G2X, Speck Case and Screen protectors....for a Sensation, new case and new screen protectors. Plain and simply because I was sold a defective product and the accessories were pointless now....obviously.
Long story short.....Got my SWEET new Sensation, case, screen protectors at zero cost to me.....straight swap. Of course keep in mind I was in my 14 days, so I had some extra pull.
I'm pretty sure I got around policy, but it sure felt like the right thing happened on every level
As far as the G2X goes.....I simply could not live with that screen bleed. It really did wash out the top part of the screen. Plus there are a bunch of stories of peeps on multiple G2Xs....all with bleed to some extent. The Sensations screen is gorgeous....resolution, size and no bleed!!
Lastly...I also discovered that the Sensation not only records 1080p at 30fps...it also is the only one between G2X and SGS2 that records the audio in STEREO!! The others record in mono.... That's a pretty big deal for me as I love making vids

My lord...you guys are scary angry. I bought it at a retail store. Tmo Customer Care said I would have to PAY for the Sensation in store. They said I could walk out with a new G2X at no charge. I told them no, I'll get the Sensation at no charge.
Sorry to correct you, but I think I may have slightly gotten around policy.
Why are you guys so angry and pent up...get some fresh air. Would not want to be around you guys on a day to day basis.
Have a nice day....hope you feel better

Cant we all just get along? come on.. let's watch some bob ross and hear him talk about the happy little squirrel that lives in the happy little tree, in the happy little forest(and a forest where you can have as many happy tree's as you want in your world)
I too am getting a sensation, but I'm also keeping one of my g2x's
I only have a little screen bleed (acceptable amount), finally starting to see better battery life, and no random reboots or overheating.
This certainly received a lot of hate. Heh.

Tmonews about to break more G2X news...

Check out their twitter page.

"TmoNews It's amazing that a new story is surfacing about the G2x not being replaced for ANY issues and @TMobile and @LGUSAMobile remain silent"
"TmoNews @TMobile Any response to the G2x story about no more warranty replacements being issued?"
Apparently, Tmobile is stating that the replacement unit will still have the same issues, so they are not replacing them anymore fro any reason.
Yep, I called last week and was told no replacement and about the MT4G. I don't want a MT4G, I want a G2X that works or my money back and contract cancelled.
You read the tweet wrong. Tmonews isn't breaking a story, they're commenting on what they heard and that once again T-Mobile and LG are silent.
TmoNews It's amazing that a new story is surfacing about the G2x not being replaced for ANY issues and @TMobile and @LGUSAMobile remain silent
TmoNews I don't know if the G2x is or is not able to be replaced, but like my original tweet said, a story is going around saying it isn't

As someone who purchased the G2x on release day, took it back 4 days later and had a "master reset" done, had a replacement sent out with the same issues, made 6 phone calls to tech support, two more trips to a T-Mobile store, multiple more master resets... I became tired of the run around and retained an attorney.
My attorney has notified LGUSA of my issues, and we are awaiting their response.
We are prepared to take legal action against LGUSA.
Unfortunately, there is nothing at this point that can be done against T-Mobile because of a recent US Supreme Court ruling concerning class action lawsuits.
The attorney that I have retained is the same attorney who currently has a class action lawsuit against Samsung for a similar situation.

Very simple, attorneys that take these cases ask for no retainer. It cost me nothing to do, except a little time, a few phone calls, a few emails...
I did it because I understand the difference between right and wrong, and T-Mobile and LG have acted inappropriately here.
I dont expect to ever personally gain anything from my efforts, but LG should be held responsible for the phone they have sold us.
this makes no sense because i was just sent a replacement g2x after a chat session with a rep today she offered me a mytouch 4g but i declined that and went with a replacement g2x. so idk about not replacing it anymore

The Norma Ray-esque idea of "sticking it to the man" is certainly something that makes me smile. And you'll never find me defending LG - they deserve a special place in hell for all the unresolved grief they've caused. But, as someone just said, when is it time to pull the ripcord? I lost serveral hundred dolllars dumping the G2X and leaving T-Mobile but my time and sanity made it worth it to me. Good luck if you decide to see it threw but remember the old adage - "would you rather be right or rather be happy?"

I think you'll see alot of those things around are basically...alot to do about nothing. Some one on XDA commented a week or so ago about replacements for G2x's for issues that cannot be fixed in a replacement, will be stopped. Late last week, or perhaps this weekend, some commented that replacements for screen bleed were now included.
Some body reads it....another Sensationalist blogger site hears about it, someone tweets it, next thing you know...we have a revolution going on.

It would appear that they feel they can say anything as long as they attribute it to a "ninja." To go from a second-hand tweet to a cover story without any investigation in between doesn't speak well to their integrity.
I just called and have a replacement coming tomorrow because I keep getting screen bleeding replacements so I feel like this is a false rumor....hopefully I get a good screen next time!
And honestly ...the screen bleed really isn't that bad but its the principle of the matter and getting your moneys worth when you buy a phone ....especially off contract like me.
I know there are good units out- my first ones screen bleed was barely there at all but I had USB issues with it, all the replacements I've gotten afterwards have had worse screen bleeds than the first but no other issues whatsoever....this reallly is a great phone just wish LG would own up to their mistakes and support the customers but can't always get what you want ....if worse comes to worse I can live with my current unit if the one they send me is worse.

Working wifi? my wifi works perfectly fine I use it daily... my point is the Sensation has less issues than the G2x does... no phone is perfect but the G2x let me down BIG TIME
I have no reason to lie, a week ago last Saturday I called customer support and was told that I could not exchange my phone via warranty because all of the phones have the same issue. I thought I was the only one at first.

Just Sold My G2X

Hey guys, well when i first got the g2x i couldn't put it down, but it lost it's luster the longer i held on to it, i sold my ipod touch last year and ive missed it since, i also spent a goo $100 in the itunes store, i decided to move to the iphone and the first step was to get rid of my phone, i know the 5's coming out but i cant afford that , and im not gonna sign a contract, i got $300 out of my G2X, which i think isn't too bad, i am currently looking at craigslist and ebay for an unlocked/unlockable Iphone 4 for about $300, if anyone has one hit me up. Maybe once ice cream sandwhich hits and the fragmentation stops i might come back to android, but until then im gonna be on an iphone, i'll keep this updated with my thoughts/regrets if any, did i get a good price, let me know what you think?
why even post this?
i didn't realize i was breaking the law, this is in the general section, it's a discussion that you don't have to read or post anything if you don't like it, no one has a gun to your head.
Seriously, what's the purpose of these I sold, wanna sell, thinking about selling g2x threads, just do it, gtfo, be gone. Good riddance, and go frequent the I phone or sensation forum. Troll.
You got $300? What kind of condition was it in? Reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about selling mine which is in almost new condition. The only way you can tell its used is by looking at the chrome strip on the battery cover under a bright light. You will then see some surface scratches but other than that, there isn't a mark on it.

Got a GSII at 2 yr contract price

Just an FYI,
After some *****ing to retentions about the non-functionality of this phone, I managed to get a new phone at 2 yr contract price. I'm on my 3rd G2X and I have just about every problem imaginable - reboots,shutdowns,calls often don't work,data often doesn't work, etc. If you're frustrated with your G2X but don't want to shell out 600 bucks, it's worth a shot. I told them that the guy at my local tmobile store told me that I might as well stop switching out for replacements since "they're all like that." Basically just kept stressing that they sold me a broken phone, and I just wanted a working one. Good luck!
ooohhhwhhooooo good for you pal.
this is a g2x threat ''FYI''
i got my g2x since it release date and i never had problems. let see how your GS2 will work for ya. its still a samsuck
and i had several problems with the old galaxy s versions. and again samsuck never did nothing about it
I might give this a try... I'll get the GSII... Sell it, then buy another G2x.
Haha good idea. I was about to say how the g2x is better and they g2x does not like him.

I was just trying to help out...I figured some other people might be frustrated with their g2x's and would appreciate this option. If you are happy with yours, that's great - this thread (with a d) is not for you. I don't see how you can call Samsung out for not addressing problems when that is clearly the issue with LG here - with quality control if nothing else.

Yeah, I'm actually bummed I couldn't get a working g2x. The gsii seems way too big to me, and the build quality is pretty ****ty. But seeing that I had to get SOME other phone, it was the best option

If they sent it to you, you must send back the g2x or they will follow up with a bill for the full price of the phone. I promise. It will happen.

I posted it here because I am coming from a g2x, and it was specifically my complaints about none of my g2xs working that allowed me to get a really early upgrade. Again, just trying to help. I know there are a lot of people who are frustrated with the g2x's unreliability.
Wow lots of hate for a company that gives phones to developers, hired Cyanogen, and garnered enough interest from Google to create the Nexus a second time. I loved my Nexus S.
I kinda liken the G2x to an AMG Mercedes. Sexy piece of metal and glass, a thrill when working correctly, but loses half its value when you drive off the lot.
I like keeping my phones for 6mo or so and reselling to subsidize the next phone. G2x depreciated faster than any other phone I've owned. Feel like kinda a chump for picking one up on 4/20. I could have waited 2 months and bought it $250 cheaper. Grrrr....

Why post this here? Go talk to your new GSII friends. Have fun with your Samsung. They are crap BTW. Easy to perma-brick due to bad engineering on Samsung's part.

God damn, no need to be so hostile. He was just trying to inform people who are dissatisfied with their G2x. No need to be so negative.

We are tired of people leaving the G2X thinking they must post a thread to say bye and slam the G2X in the process. We don't need your negative energy. We don't you need to say goodbye to us. Just go away quietly please. We don't care about what deals you got to switch or what you are switching to. Keep your jubilation and negative comments to yourself please.
Just beat it!!

Just an FYI,
After some *****ing to retentions about the non-functionality of this phone, I managed to get a new phone at 2 yr contract price. I'm on my 3rd G2X and I have just about every problem imaginable - reboots,shutdowns,calls often don't work,data often doesn't work, etc. If you're frustrated with your G2X but don't want to shell out 600 bucks, it's worth a shot. I told them that the guy at my local tmobile store told me that I might as well stop switching out for replacements since "they're all like that." Basically just kept stressing that they sold me a broken phone, and I just wanted a working one. Good luck!

This wasn't a goodbye post, or a g2x-slamming post. I was simply letting people know that if they are frustrated with their g2x, there might be an option they weren't aware of. There was no jubilation or negative comments. Are people so insecure (about their cell phones of all things) that I can't even mention the name of another phone? As I said before, there are many pluses of my g2x - higher pixel density, better screen size, vanilla os, hdmi out, better build quality, etc. The one big minus is that it doesn't work a lot of the time, just like the previous g2x's I've had. If your phone works, then great. This post was not meant for you.

Sad Day In My Shift World

Let me start off by stating that XDA and all the moderators and users have created something absolutely amazing. This site has allowed and taught me to turn just my cell phone into something awesome and personalized. I'm lovin what you guys are doing so keep up the good work for sure.
The first smartphone I got was the Evo Shift, and fell in love immediately. I very soon after discovered XDA and started rooting and flashing away. I helped a few friends out rooting their phones, but I just felt like the Shift was far better and faster.
I used the phone for around 6 months or so. Unfortunately that's where my happiness ended. My girlfriend decided to snatch it out of my hands one night, and i guess decided that I no longer needed a phone, so she smashed it against the pavement which ended my little buddy. Lol. Well she saw the error of her ways or who know what, but she's going to try and buy me a phone in a day or so. We are both not really "ballin" enough to go throw money on some things. Anyways she only is gonna spend around $40 or $50 on the phone. I've looked on eBay, Craigslist, and other sites and it seems like im sort of S.O.L. I've checked out other phones besides the shift, and all i really care about is speed. But hell beggars can't be choosers lol. Well i decided to ask on here to see if I might get lucky and see if anyone has a decent sprint phone they are trying to sell or get rid of.
Any help is much appreciated and very thanked regardless.
I sympathize with your position but the only place on XDA for buying/selling/trading of devices is the marketplace, and unfortunately you will not have access there due to your account being very new, or by PM with someone and you are both taking a risk which most XDA members are unlikely to do. Or by an external source such as you have already checked out.
I will move this thread to Q&A since you did ask for suggestions, hopefully some members here can think of something helpful to suggest.
I suggest sticking with suggestions related to the phone and avoiding the relationship element please.
Thank you,

I would keep an eye out on Craigslist, and the XDA Marketplace. I've seen more than a few go for just around that price.
