MT4G vs. LG G2x

Need some comparison with this two phones.
I currently have the MT4G,just want to know if its worth trading with an LG g2x?

Not worth it. Wait for the SGS2 or Sensation!

or the mt4g slide!

I'm already running sense 3.0 on this device.hmmm,yeah maybe the sgs2 will do.

Only issue is that there might not be a SGS2 for T-mo. The names have been revealed for all carriers, but there's no sign of one for us. The G2X is better than the MT4G in it's specs, but wait 7 days and get the sensation. bigger screen, better processor, and HTC build quality. Also, it doesn't look like it will be super expensive. Walmart will have it for 150 on contract.

Only the processor is better. It has a lot less RAM (512 vs the MT4G's 768). I would never want to run a ROM like Virtuous Fusion on the G2x with such little RAM.

I'm just saying I have used a g2x and its very snappy.

I went from MT4G to G2X. It is faster - even without an android ROM that optimizes duel core (true for all of them), which was to be 2.4 - but that has been pushed way back.
The Sensation is supposed to have the boot loader locked - so forget flashing anything. There is chatter about HTC coming out with an unlocking mechanism - but I would not buy that device based on maybe it will get unlocked.
Some have gotten quadrent scores of 5000+ with CM7 and faux kernel (Max OC "only" 1500 currently). It has a better camera then the sense camera on MT4G, but I never liked the sense one - it had too much compression, so used camera app form the market on my MT4G.

HTC confirmed that they were working on an update for the sensation to unlock its bootloader. I would not worry about it.

I went from the G2x to the MT4G (gave up on the G2x because of backlight bleeding). I honestly didn't feel much of a difference. Virtuous Fusion on my MT4G runs fast enough for anything and with Chainfire3D, I can play all the Tegra 2 games and do everything fast as I need. I was originally planning on getting the Sensation. I still might, but I'm considering waiting til the Tegra 3 and comparable phones come out.

I would wait till next year when they start making Quad-core phones, which is in Qualcomm's roadmap, and probably others too. The G2X will be outdone by the SGSII(Fastest Phone now, blows G2X ) . The Sensation is slower than the SGSII, but is still a good phone nonetheless. Not really worth the upgrade from the MT4G. If you care about things like ram, companies are starting to use 1GB ram and hopefully they increase ROM size for more internal storage.

Agreed. For me this phone will totally be enough for the next year and a half thanks to the awesome work of the dev community. Rooting and flashing a custom ROM has given my phone new life, so personally I can now confidently wait to get my next "uber" phone when my contract expires.

it seems that the g2x has alot of problems compared to mytouch 4g. the one i was able to use kept shutting off and on!
i would wait for something worthwhile!

One of my coworkers has this phone. I messed around with it for a while and it seems to be pretty nice, but not quite enough of an upgrade for me to ditch this phone for.

Almost every phone on XDA started out with a locked bootloader. You make no sense with your comment about a locked bootloader. My MyTouch came locked but look at how fast that was bypassed.
BTW: HTC has already stated publicly that an OTA update will unlock it in the near future.

Im with the others, not worth an upgrade. just wait until the quads come out

I love the MT4G. I still have my Nexus One but with 768MB RAM, I can find NO reason to upgrade at this point. And to compound that decision, all the recent reviews have said that the screen is lackluster at best. Sure the higher resolution is nice but if you don't couple that with a great screen it does NO good at all.
And that great device (Sensation) still comes with the same RAM as the MT4G. Sorry, but at a time when tech prices are what they are, packing 1GB+ into a smartphone should be the baseline standard. If I upgraded to anything right now it would be the SGS2 but I intend to wait for quad cores to pop up. My desktop and laptop both have quad cores so my phone should too.
The MT4G with CM7 runs fantastic.

I have a g2x right now, my wife has a mytouch4g. The g2x is quicker, and has more potential. I can say though, it isn't significantly quicker for having a dual core processor and vanilla android, and it definitely does have more software issues.
I (just like others) thought the issues complained about were exaggerated and I was lucky enough to get a g2x without issues. The screen bleeding isn't horrible, but I have had the random reboots (usually daily). Battery life is poor at best, there isn't any lagging but it does stumble and freeze for a second occasionally. Great at multitasking and gaming though.
My wife is pretty picky about her phones and complains if there are any issues... I haven't heard her complain about the mytouch except low earpiece volume.

Well, both my Cyanogen and MIUI ROMS on my MT4G run better than the G2X. Not my opinion. That is fact. I have a G2X here as well and it doesn't run anywhere as good as my MT4G with either ROM.

Would you happen to know why CM7 runs so poorly on the G2x?
And I agree. CM7 on a MT4G makes it feel like it was never meant to be a Sense phone. So smooth....

Thinking of getting rid of Sensation for g2x....

The sensation is a great phone, but there are some things that bother me about it. Sense 3.0 is just too much...uses too many resources. The screen is decent, but I still can't figure out why the g2x screen I saw in person looks better (maybe because the g2x is an IPS screen?), and the speaker on the sensation is terrible (how is the speaker on the g2x)?
I've been reading that the official gingerbread update has (so far) fixed some issues that the g2x had, which is why I'm thinking about making the switch.
Any opinions on this?

honestly as this recent leak is, cm7 is still better and more stable with alot of extra features, until t-mo releases the official ota with upgraded baseband and upgraded to a gingerbread kernel, this update is still inferior to cm7 imo
gingerbread is still far off, if this is the latest rom LG has, then i wouldnt say its close to being pushed to t-mo for review wich still leaves us a few months away from anything official, unless they really plan to make the final update run on a kernel that doesnt even fully support the tegra 2 chip.

if your looking to swap it for a g2x and t-mo doesnt allow the exchange i have my g2x ill trade to you for it ive been trying to get a sensation

Both phones are great. Had the G2x but switched it out for the sensation. I have no regrets because the G2x was very problematic. I guess I was one of those unlucky ones that got a bad g2x (reboots, freezes, shutdowns, etc).....and I had 2 G2x and both phones were bad and I didn't want to wait for the update lol. However, a working nondefective G2x is a beast phone nonetheless. It's faster than the sensation imo.
The sensation on the other hand is also a great phone. And im Lucky that I got a nondefective one from the start. I prefer the sensation over the G2x but it all comes down to the user itself.
Im not boasting or bragging or putting down any phone, just stating my personal experiances with these phones.
Hope you get the phone you want...

The g2x is an awesome gaming phone with all the tegra games and stuff.
The sensation i feel is a little more boring but more reliable and professional looking. Also i noticed that by disabling sense and the bloatware that cane with the phone, ive been able to make it as fast if not faster than the g2x. Specially the browsing. I dont have the problem where it takes a while for the browser to open abd once it opens its seems to reopen the last website, which i belive was due to my g2x running low on memory.

I traded my g2x for a sensation, them back to the g2x. The g2x is way better..
Sensation wifi was horrid..

Kept my G2X but use my Sensation as my daily driver. The only time I really pick the G2X up is to play Tegra games or flash ROMS. Like someone else said, if you keep Sense on the Sensation, your phone will be laggy. HTC did a horrible job of optimizing the new version of Sense. If you load ADW on the Sensation, the UI will become as fast, if not faster than the G2X. Loading apps, using Google maps and browsing the web has always been faster on the Sensation than on the G2X whether your running Sense or not. Getting rid of Sense and stopping it from running makes the UI as responsive as one could get.
Can't go wrong with either phone. I didn't have a bad experience with either of them (until I loaded GB onto my G2X). Some people had a bad experience with the G2X and went to the Sensation. Some people had a bad experience with the Sensation and came back to the G2X. To each his own.

Well, looks like I'm keeping my sensation.
Installed launcherpro, and for some reason it even opens up apps quicker now (even though sense 3.0 is still there running in the background). I also love the fact that I can still use the sense 3.0 lockscreen with launcherpro. Phones feels like an entirely new beast now.

Yea man...Sense sucks anyway. The only things good about it is the lock screen, sms app, contacts and email. Everything else is just annoying eye candy. Good part about using a launcher is you get to keep all of that without the eye candy.
Check your available memory now. It should be somewhere around 300. Also, if you think LP is fast, check out ADW.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

If you are a developer then get the G2x, but if you are looking for a overall solid phone for day to day use, keep the Sensation. But if you don't etheir one, then can't go wrong with either phone. The Sensation is more powerful as it uses a better GPU.
The screen on the sensation is superior in some ways, just overall looks sharper and alot more more detail. But the G2x, colors look more vibrant.
WiFi issue I notice to, if you touch around the top area and when signal is fair, then drops, but with a stonger signal, not as bad. Notice it doesn't affect the other radio's inside.
But the G2x seem quicker, but battery last more longer on the sensation, I guess theirs tradeoff's ethier way you look at it.
Long term Sensation is a better choice, In quadrant test score lower due to screen resolution is higher and does affect the score, but CPU/GPU is better in the Sensation as it use a powerful 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor with Adreno 220 GPU, which is known to outpreform the Nvidia terga 2 chipset, only thing lacking is the ram which is 768MB LPDDR2, which is good, they sure have when to 1gb. Alot of people think the Samsung Galaxy s2 is going to be faster, it's not, it only use a Adreno 205 GPU, but the ddr II 1gb ram helps but screen resolution also make a big different, put the same screen in all and see who wins?

I didn't have any problems with my G2X to begin with, but updated to the GB update and it runs even quicker and the battery life is also better.
One thing that deterred me from getting the Sensation was the locked bootloader and only 1gb of internal memory. Not all apps can be moved to the SD card. Plus I think the G2X looks sexy with it's curved Gorilla glass edges and sleek body. stock Vanilla is a big plus, and the dual speakers at the bottom of the phone and not on the back that get's muffled was another deciding factor. HTC always has crappy sounding speakers.

Thinkin bout gettin a sensation!!

Hi all, please don't start havin a go at me cos I'm in a situation that after I choose one, I have to stick with.
Ok here goes, I currently have a galaxy s2 which I got 3 weeks ago on a 2 year contract.
Although I'm happy overall with the phone, I really miss sense and some other stuff that htc offer.
Before my galaxy s2 I had a desire hd and was really happy with it.
Now...my girlfriend gets her upgrade in 2 weeks but she is willing to let me have it just as long as I sell this phone.
Now what I'm askin is, is it worth the jump from the galaxy s2 to the sensation??
I've read reviews and I even lurk on this part of the forum just to see how the device is doing.
A few things I've read have concered me like dust under screen, heavy lag, poor driver quality hence phone not as fast as say for example the galaxy s2.
Now I don't mind it not being as fast cos I'm an avid rommer and I'm sure custom roms will come out to speed it up right??
Just asking for a bit of Honest advice really, I know I'm in the sensation forum but would like people to have an honest answer and either say yeah its a good phone jump over or say no its not a good idea.
I'm askin u guys cos I haven't actually had a chance to play with the sensation yet and as I said earlier, once I choose, I've got it for 2 years.
Please help.
Oh sorry bout the post I've seen these type of posts before but I really do need ur advice.
Thanks guys.

If your main issue is with sense not being there then you'd probably like the sensation more. I really don't like most of sense to be honest. Sense feels so bloated. (Waiting for cyanogenmod and i'm going to upgrade in 5months anyways).
I think they're both great devices, if you aren't happy with the gs2 maybe you should go test out a sensation?

Not a huge fan of sense either but it's a great phone and there are already some great roms around. In fact I'm finding the Leedroid and adw launcher ex combo so silky I can easily wait as long as necessary for Cyanogenmod.

Man im willing to trade my sensation for your galaxy s 2 lol. It depends what you're looking for. Every review says the galaxy s 2 is the best phone but that doesn't mean the sensation isn't good. It's a very good phone, it does lag tho because sense is heavy and it's a memory hog. I'm not into rooting cause I have no idea how to do so but if that's your thing and you wanna install ROMs on it than give it a try. But I think you should keep you SGS2 just in case. Me personally I would go with the S2

Its good news for HTC that users love sense so much

Have both the sgs2 and sensation...first time using sense and I definitely like the eye candy stuff, and build quality feels nice to hold it in hand. I don't care much about sense bloatware since I use sgs2 if I need fast performance or cm7. My main point of buying sensation was for sense

I like Sense quite a bit myself....but I hope that the next update takes the bloat down a notch. All that eye candy comes at quite a noticeable price...
Reminds me of when I had to 'upgrade' my old PC from Windows 98SE to Windows ME.....shudder...

I tend to get jealous of SGSII users who have their Super Amoled screen and massive internal storage. Touch Wiz also seems to have matured a lot since I last played with it. However, the grass is always greener on the other side. I'm positive I would envy Sensation owners if I had the SGSII.
That being said, I love sense a lot and it makes my daily activities very easy to accomplish. Build quality on the phone is the best I've ever handled. Simply, it's a beast of a phone especially after using these optimized roms in the dev section. The biggest problem with the phone is the wifi deathgrip. Also the speaker is the as loud as it could be. Other than that, this is the perfect phone for me.
Definetly get it you think sense is right for you. Just be aware that you are settling for inferior (though not by much) hardware.

Short and sweet but....
I went from sgs2 to sensation and I'm happy overall. Yea it lags from time to time and its not the pure numbers animal that the sgs2 is but I enjoy the battery life, qhd, and build quality of the sensation over the sgs2. Also, sense is much better than touchwiz. With the current cm7 builds for sgs2 the sensation still has better battery life with sense and all the syncing going on. Even vs stock sgs2 rom.
Sent from my HTC-Z710a using Tapatalk

i would have suggested the evo 3d since the sense on it is smoother while the sensation is known to be buggy. That being said my sensation doesn't have any problems at the moment.

Thanks for the replies everyone, yeah the main points I'm happy with the galaxy s2 is the screen, camera and speed.
Other than that, I'm not a fan of much else, don't really like touchwiz and also the screen isn't fluid, mine stutters and its a known problem, there is a fix though.
Also no notification light is a bummer as well.
I think u guys have convinced me to jump over ;-).

Take a look in sensation android development and see roms support urself
There are lot of roms available for sensation and sensation having dual core processor as compared to nexus single core ,cam of sensation is also nice....8mpx ....
Sensation is definitely more powerful than nexus s.
Stock battery is 1520 mah and backup is gud not xcellent lol.
Sensation also support mhl hdmi support ,go for sensation its better than nexus s.

Well that would first depend on two main topics; whether you want HTC Sense or Vanilla Android.
The Nexus S's stock ROM is smooth, elegant, quick and stable because well it's pure Android.
The Sensation is a power house of hardware, HTC Sense has a lot of customization yet the stock ROM is sorta laggy here and there. However, if you root it, there are AMAZING Sense ROMs out there for you to flash it.
I went with the Sensation because it has a better processor, camera, more RAM, and it just looked awesome to me!
hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!

Personally, I would wait a month or 3, as new phoens will be released. The Sensation is now a relatively old device, and HTC will be releasing some new ones in the coming few months
The Sensation is fantastic, I love mine, but it's "standard" with specs....nothing is outstanding.

Thanks guys your really helping me, when I make a list of pros and cons for both phones this is what I get
Sensation pros
4g
Dual core
8mp
Under t-mobile so I can always report my phone lost
Cons
I hear that battery isn't great
And I hear a lot of bad about the Prosser
And the stock roms which I would really like some feedback on it because I love both sense and stock so if I could flash either and they would work fine I would be so much in love with this phone lol
Nexus s pros
Updates lol
Super almoled screen
Cons
5mp
3g
Not under t- mobile
Single core
And this doesn't matter so much about waiting for a new phone I'm due for an upgrade in July and I'm not trying to waste an upgrade on a phone that isn't going to get love lol im going to use the upgrade when I see the phone having great development

Id go this route unless you insist on having a rooted phone with minimal wait time for development. The downside of being first to get a new phone is WAITING for anything to be done with it.
If it were me, Id stick with a rooted g2x and wait for something better to pop up. ICS is out and about and I am sure that any new phone that has good hardware will wind up being great with the addition of ICS.

Then he'll be waiting forever because there will always be new phones. Seriously though, While the Nexus S is smooth, ICS will make this phone one of the best available. The latest leaks are already butter 90% of the time, and they're just leaks.

Jumping ship! to Galaxy Nexus

i loved my htc sensation but i found the nexus too hard too resist at $465 and better dev support
i will be selling my singapore htc sensation (works with $5/mo tzones), any idea whats a good going price for it in good condition?
if anyone is interested in the nexus, its still available for $465 at mobile.dailysteals.com

If in mint condition, flawless screen, 300 dollars.

i hate sense.... so the only roms that were of interest to me were trips/vorbeths cm9 and virtuous inquisition... and all 3 are still buggy as of today

Saw that sale too, so tempted.
I played with my friend's Verizon GNex and it didn't blow me away though.
Quite similar to my phone running Virtuous Inq.
The difference wasn't great enough to warrant me spending so much money, even if I did sell my Sensation.

Getting a galaxy nexus this far into 2012? The thing is 6 months old already! Cortex-A15 beasts (Galaxy S III) are right around the corner, why waste money now?

Don't get me wrong guys, the screen alone makes the Nexus better than the Sensation - hands down!!
It's just that stock Android, where it was at first nice and new, pales in comparison to Sense 4...might sell mine and get the One X

It isn't even known if the Galaxy S III‘s Exynos will be A15. You could assume so but the doesn't make it definite. Look at the Tegra 3 for example.

I jumped on this deal too. I love my Sensation but need to get back to stock Android, and I agree, the current AOSP/AOKP ROMs for Sensation are buggy or missing core functionality. Development seems to be moving along at a snail's pace. Not a complaint, just an observation.
I'll still keep my Sensation just in case, but eagerly awaiting the GN.

Care to elaborate? I find this hard to believe considering it's a brand new Nexus device, and even the N1/S are still getting support (N1 got an update just September of last year, and the S was recently updated).
Are you saying it has stopped for now or it has stopped entirely?

Sensation has enough power to run cm9 super smooth.
Not that impressed by Nexus Galaxy, then wait for a Quad Core phone.
One X quadcore gets 4750 in Quadrant (might not be optimized for 4cores yet?)
know its not about all about numbers, but cm9 feels good
cm9 opensensation (bluetooth working, only camera not recording yet and some other bugs)

I jumped on this deal too. I love my Sensation but need to get back to stock Android, and I agree, the current AOSP/AOKP ROMs for Sensation are buggy or missing core functionality. Development seems to be moving along at a snail's pace. Not a complaint, just an observation.
I'll still keep my Sensation just in case, but eagerly awaiting the GN.
Care to elaborate? I find this hard to believe considering it's a brand new Nexus device, and even the N1/S are still getting support (N1 got an update just September of last year, and the S was recently updated).
Are you saying it has stopped for now or it has stopped entirely?

Officially the GSM Nexus is on 4.0.2. There have been more updates since then - 4.0.3 (which all new ICS devices will be running) and 4.0.4 for the CDMA Nexus. Google aren't looking like doing anything else at present and I hope we'll get a new update come I/O but in a Dev sense all the ROMs are the same.
OK, MIUI is now out but bar that there's not a lot to differentiate between ROMs

Though most roms seem the same (the sense ones) Have tried alot of AOSP ones there awesome waiting for miui to be stable(r) lol

The first chance I get I will get the Gnex. I will not look back. I have a couple of manufacturers that I will NOT buy their phones again. I can care less if they put a big battery or have some cool feature... the one thing I care about is UPDATE. What good is a $500 phone if it never gets an update or better yet they let the phone out with hardware issues that can not be resolved with software update. I have watched android evolved only to see what manufacturers of phone and carriers do to it. As much as I hate apple, they did it right and for Google to just sit idle while they butcher they product I just don't get. Anyway enough ranting... gnex is my next phone, hopefully before summer.

If you want updates then don't get the Nexus, there have barely been any. Only the custom roms have progressed but they have all peaked now

thats what i dont get about biased phone owners... how can you say v4 is perfect when the gallery from camera button doesnt work and there are documented multitouch and mute issues that were fixed in 4.1? im not saying the galaxy nexus is perfect either... im sure it has its share of issues
but as an AOSP lover, a nexus device is a definite upgrade on the software side

i dont care about the number of updates... i only care for how stable the rom base is and if the nexus has truly "peaked" as you say, then i will happy with that over a device that has 1000x more updates but still has issues

Have non of those issues im not being biased. Ive been modding since jesus freak days. Ive been around since the beginning of android. Your comment is biased. But not trying to argue man we all have our opinions. For my needs in a phone v4 with the sensation deff gets the job done and gets it done well beyond my expectations.

If you do go through with jumping ship be ready to pick up an extended battery and cover.
The GNEX is pretty abysmal with battery life.
