My friend is about to purchase an Inspire 4G. How is everyone's experience with it? I don't think my friend will do any sort of heaving modding with it such as rooting and custom ROMs. Is there lag such as the Captivate that requires the so called "Lagfix"? How is the phone overall? Feedback will be appreciated!
Sorry i meant The Samsung Infuse 4G!!! I get the names confused!
Did you mean infuse?

awesome phone, can be lagfix'd if you so choose, it is pretty snappy out of the box but lagfix is a common mod. I'd Odin flash the community kernel if i were him and call it a day, later he can use CWM included in the kernel to flash the upcoming gingerbread based rom that make it feel like a new phone. there is a world.of difference between the included firmware and gingerbread.
infuse 4g is literally the best phone ive ever had, especially if you like youtube and netflix as much as i do
Best phone I've used to date, kicked my G2x to the curb for it. The screen size and color is beastly. Dual core is overrated, you wont be disappointed with this phone.

The phone looks gorgeous although I find myself swapping back and forth from my atrix lately after the latest update from att. He won't regret it though the phone looks super sexy which is why I had to get it. No regrets!

I previously had a Vibrant, and loved it. Unfortunately I had a pretty intense water accident with it (sat in a jacuzzi for 10 min before realizing it was in my pocket). I am eligible for an upgrade and am torn on phones. I have to get a phone by the 25th, so I can't wait for the Hercules, so I'm wondering, should I even bother with the SGS4G? Or should I look elsewhere at the Sensation or G2X?

Yes. I think you should "bother" with this phone
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
By bother, I mean is it worth it to get, its almost six months old and I know that its not running on much different hardware than the vibrant (which is one reason I'm so attracted to it) but I want a beast, not a puppy when it compares to other phones in good old performance. Haha I realize now that "bother" wasn't quite the right word. I guess the better phrase is, is it worth it to get over the other new powerhouses?

I don't know anything about the sensation but my wife had a g2x and that was one big ass soggy piece of crap. Nothing but problems came from that thing. Needless to say we swapped it out. As far as the sgs4g goes I love this phone and would never pick a g2x over it.

Have you gone to a t mobile store and played with any of them?

I would get the sensation in my opinion... Dual core processor.. Gingerbread out of the box, more pixel density, metal instead of plastic. The only thing that sucks is battery, but all phones suck on battery

My sister has the SGS4 and I used a sensation at the store but I have yet to find a g2x to mess with....
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I played with the sensation at the store and I liked it alot but I couldnt tell a whole lot of difference. But hardware wise the sensation has the high ground and it has sense 3.0 which I like alot. I,love my sgs4g but I personally like the sensation more. If only the new sgs4gs had 2.3.4 and tw4.5 or something new then it would be a beast.

G2x is a solid phone, if it didnt have all the issues it would probably top the sensation. I like the g2x, stock android and very very fast! Sensation is an excellent phone as well, reminded me too much of my nexus one though.
You can't really go wrong with either one (IF you get a good g2x without problems) slim chance it seems to be. Battery life on g2x wasnt great barely 6-8 hours or so, sensation is alittle better though. Galaxy s 4g is nice, no issues running kg4 and probably getting around 2 days plus on one charge.
May want to consider a nexus s as well if you are looking at this phone. Personally I would try to hold off for another month or so, new nexus may roll out, the sgs2 or whatever itll be called? If you must choose now, pick up a cheap galaxy s4g off craigslist.
Sgs4g is great but either the sensation or g2x is def a better choice. Better dev communities and better phones period.. dual core ftw. Hercules is a phone to end all phones though.. why can't u wait??
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Not sure about G2x, but the SG4G is way better than Sensation 4G
Sensation got a good screen, but, the battery life sux. Also the call quality is not good as SG4G. Low ring ton volume is disappointing also. Audio quality (headphone) of SG4G (with voodoo) is 100 times better than Sensation.
Why not just get a phone like the Sensation on the 24th of this month and if the Hercules comes out before your 14 day return period then just swap it out for the Hercules.
But if you live in the wonderful state of California, then you get 30 days to swap it out.
You guys are all looking at software issues. Hardware wise, the other phones are newer...so of course the others will be faster, have more memory, etc. most, if not all, the issues will probably be addressed by the community. I have no complaints about this phone, but do your research on the development of the others.

Hercules has the qualcomm snapdragon dual core, when compared to the exynos on my sgs2, it feels like comparing a core i5 to a pentium dual core. But the screen size is a plus, but it will probably kill the battery really quickly.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using XDA Premium App
Tough choice, while the sgs4g is a solid device, it is older hardware wise. On the other hand the g2x and sensation has a plethora of issues.

Well the reason I can't wait is because I added a line on the 26th and only got the sim. So I have until then to get a new phone at contract price. I don't know if they will let me buy it and still have the 30 days (I live in california). Otherwise maybe I will get the sensation and hold it til the herc comes.

Or you could just keep the Sensation. The Hercules is not that much of an upgrade anyways, unless you're dying for an AMOLED+ screen.
They have the same processor. Plus, if you're into modding, the Sensation is very close to a full working build of CM7. So you can only imagine how fast that will be. And it's a qHD screen while the Hercules is not.
I think I need to research the qHD screen. It didn't look very impressive to me, but I only used the phone for 2 minutes or so. The thing is, I LOVED the super AMOLED on the vibrant.

I just left the GS4G for the Sensation. The GS4G is ok, but it's middle of the road in terms of specs these days.

I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store and check them all out.
All three of them are different, out of the three though I preferred the G2x since I like it stock.
I had the SGS4G and although it was a good phone I think that the G2x is a better phone all around. Tetra Dual core, HD recording, unlocked bootloader, stock, great screen, hdmi port, and build quality.
Hope that helps

I'd recommend waiting on the Hercules IF you can.
I would love to wait for the Herc, but I need to get the phone taken care of by the 25th (long story)...

I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store as well. If you are not good with dealing things, do not go for the g2x. Don't get me wrong,I love my phone. It's an amazing phone,but you have to do little work on it. If you like sense, go for the sensation, if you like games? I would suggest to go with the g2x.
But it all comes down to you, buddy. Go to a store and try them out to see if you like which better.
if you cant wait for the hercules than get the g2x because its almost the same price as the sgs4g but daul core, since sensation sucks its only using one core but good gpu. G2X ftw because of performance and price.

The Sensation is a dual core phone...
And I'd recommend the G2X because it has a larger Dev community, considering the fast that the Sensation just got Perma-Root...

Wait for the Hercules as it will walk all over any of the current offerings. Plus it is going to come with 4.5 inches of Super AMOLED + goodness. If you liked your Vibrants display you are going to love the Hercules display.

i wouldnt regret getting the sgs2 after seeing reviews theres very little lag when having over 500 apps running. and with future android updates i see it still being accessible for the next 4 years....
Played with the gs2 at sprint the day it came out. Was thinking about jumping ship from big red to sprint. Phone was sweet and would trade my xperia play for it. Coming to At&t soon. My iphone buddy was with me and is now thinking of jumping into android.
my choice is sgs2
Thanks for the advice guys

or you can choose lg optimus 2x
wait ..... waiting is good ......
HTC MAGIC is the best
Or you can wait for HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio.
I'm thinking about getting a new phone soon... I wanted to pick up the HTC One X but reading about so many faulty devices over on the forums I'm kinda hesitant now. Still wondering whether or not I should make the plunge; on the other hand the 4S looks pretty interesting as well so that's also an option. So does the Xperia Arc S.
I need to get the phone before Julyish since I'm going overseas to study.
I don't see the newer phones (even One X, Galaxy S3) being much better than the G2x already. Sure they have ICS, but all the apps I run are fine on GB. Plus the extra cost to upgrade vs the ~$200 out-of-contract price of G2x on $30/mo plan doesn't justify it.
With all pricing aside, what's in ur opinion the best phone on the market right now?

S3 only thing that catches my eye now, waiting until the next nexus line looks, and if LG follows through ill upgrade and sell the phone, if not then I'll keep it is a backup and put the mt3g in my antique case with my g1

Galaxy Note for T-Mobile, Galaxy S 3 for T-Mobile, Nexus Tablet.
That is what catches my eyes but in reality, my G2X will do just well for like 4 years more just as my Etched Nexus one does. My G1 is just too slow now.
Sensation rocks because the developer support is unparalleled. But the S3 is fantastic,and if you want a big screen the Note is excellent. And the One X, while it does have a few kinks in terms ram management, its arguably the best phone out there. Tried it in the store and it is unreal fast

Screw the carriers and their neutered phones. Sgs3 is getting a dual core across the board in the US. From now on, I'm only buying direct from Google and the carriers can take their contracts and shove them... if you know what I mean. I'm waiting for the next nexus, which should be available to buy by Thanksgiving.

I was going to get the s3 untill they took the quad core out of it.
I didn't really want to wait for the next big device to come out, so I just got a Galaxy Nexus. I really couldn't be happier. I still have my G2x to test some ROMs on and as to use as a backup phone.

.....Iphone
Look at the post for the s3 in the general section, and then look at the comparison for the new krait CPU that will be in the sgs3, yes it is a bummer that its only a dual core but how much utilization will a quad be used? With the research I've done I'm more then happy with what the stateside sgs3 has to offer just have to decide other things my previous post stated.
And don't worry my mt3g isn't going anywhere like my g1 its safe and sound lol.

I will definitely wait until November for the new Nexus or Nexi, (hopefully the rumors are true and 5 are launched).
Hopefully no knew phones come out at all, that way I don't feel like I'm behind, and I'm very competitive and I always want the best and the greatest.

If I stick with android I won't buy another non Nexus phone. If the manufacture updates the phone any it won't be updated for long and in most cases 3 months later there will be a slightly refreshed version that comes along and goodbye support for the phone you got. I had a Samsung Vibrant well you know that support died when the Galaxy S 4G came out You all know the support on the G2X and I also have a mytouch 4G which is running 2.3.4 just like my G2X which I also don't see it getting updated either to ICS.
As long as I know the phone will have xda support and Dec community support from the manufacturer I'll get it. Like the sensation that thing is fully supported, the HTC Vivid that's on at&t is extremely supported, sh¡+ even the G1 is lol....

I jumped ship to the HTC One S. Besides the pentile screen it can hold its own against the One X, if not beat it at benchmarks and in my opinion just as good as anything Samsung is releasing. I love the overall build quality and feel of the One S and the 16gb storage is more than enough for me. I tried to love my G2x, I was even convinced that it was the best phone out there but the software/hardware issues finally got to me.
