Has this finally become "THE" phone? - T-Mobile LG G2x

All the negativity aside...
Has this phone become the perfect phone for everybody?
With Stock 2.3.3 working great with every feature, rooted stock roms, easy to flash any roms, has the g2x finally become the phone we always thought it would be?
There may be some people who always thought this was the best phone out but can we finally say it without a shadow of a doubt?
I may be biased but this is a pretty damn good phone.

All it needs is 16-32gb internal storage and maybe 1gb of ram and it would have been future proof for a lonnnnnnnng time. Still it is a great phone just released too early.

I agree on the ram part for sure....
I would have been set for a long time. The internal storage doesn't bother me so much with micro SD cards dropping in price. A 32GB card shouldn't be too expensive soon or now for that matter.

Honestly I would have been ok too with the g2x had it not been for the partitioning of internal storage, it's confusing and not needed when most people already own 16 or 32gb external sdcards and prefer installing everything to internal.
For some people 1gb is more than enough for apps/games, but with the market allowing dev's to increase the size of its product 1gb of internal is not enough and gets used up very quickly!
Can't really complain about anything else cuz this phone is beast!

It comes standard with apps2sd. Most apps can be moved to sd so just do that and free up the 1gb internal. With apps2sd capability I think 1gb for apps is more than generous.

i loved this phone from the get-go but i received it with gingerbread pre-installed and tried to wait out a lot of the big bugs. my device has some noticeable screen bleed and a little bit of lagginess but other than that this phone is amazing! i don't miss my old phone at all. it is practically perfect to me

512MB of RAM is more than enough...
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Yeah this baby has been working pretty well for me...hopefully development for this continues on for a long time. The only gripe I have is battery life is a little on the short side...at least on the stock rom and nightly cm7 rom
Otherwise this phone does everything I need it to do and more

+1 some people don't understand how Linux handles memory.
Vibrant+MIUI -> G2X

It's a great phone IF it's rooted or lucky enough to be bug free on stock. The general consumer might not be into rooting, and that bugged-launch debacle hit the phone's reputation hard. Also, I'm curious whether LG's failure to make some drivers open will be a big problem for devastating or just an annoyance (I'm not a dev, so I honestly don't know how big a problem it is).
Having said that, I think my rooted G2x is a great phone. Running Eagles Blood on it now, might switch to Weapons soon just for ****s and giggles. And might throw this Nexus S on eBay to go G2x full time.

No, some people just like having as many apps or games installed as they prefer without running low on ram and lagging.
Not everyone is fine with just installing 5-10 apps, I and plenty others DO understand how Linux uses memory. Coming from the mt4g 768mb-1gb ram is the sweet spot IMHO.

This phone has been awesome for the two month period I have owned it. It's fast, stable and I love the vanilla android experience! It's a shame the initial release was plagued with so many issues or more people would have a positive outlook on this phone.

Please explain how simply installing more apps on your phone uses more RAM (significantly more, not just because the launcher has to maintain a KB or two more data or something similar).

Because a lot of apps still run in the backround (even if your using a taskkiller, they will just turn back on thus consuming ram, and that's also just how linux uses it's ram) With me installing all apps/games i usually have around 50-60mb free ram which is still enough and i don't experience much lag if any, but i do plan on buying and installing more apps/games thus the reason 768-1gb ram is more preferable in the long run.

I don't know, mine wasn't rooted and worked just awesome. Smooth, no lag, no bugs. I've just recently rooted it, but no roms just yet. Still trying to decide which I want, lol. I haven't heard many bug reports since GB came out. But it is a shame the bad rep it got before. A friend of mine got it when it first came out...i've yet to convince him it's worth getting now. Gotta try to get him to actually test it out, lol.

From Vision to Sensation: First thoughts.

Hey fellas. This is for people who are thinking about getting a sensation. If you don't care about this phone.. DON'T READ. Thanks.
Well I just got my sensation about an hour ago from walmart. I'm really digging this phone. The screen is huge, the colors are fantastic and its lighter. TOO light for my liking honestly. Feels like I'm holding a vibrant. I hate the fact its so light. It feels fake to me kinda. I love the way the g2 feels. Its not light, but its not chunky and heavy.
The build quality is pretty good. It feels FANTASTIC in the hand but I still don't like the lightassedness this phone has. I still prefer the battery door latch that our vision has but its not hard at all to get the back off.
Speed: not even going to lie. Its fast. Pretty damn fast. But compared to our vision is what you guys want to know. And having them side by side having the sensation obviously stock and my vision obviously not (oc'd to 1.2 gigs) I don't honestly see a difference.. at all. Probably after root gets here and a little oc hits this then we will see.
If anyone wants to know anything ie want me to run tests against it etc just let me know. Just for reassurance : THIS IS JUST FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE DEBATING ABOUT GETTING THIS PHONE AND WANTED TO KNOW SOMEONES OPINION. I love reading people's opinions on phones and I always come here to read people opinions on their experience with the phone I want. Just wanted to give back my opinion. Maybe it might help someone, maybe it won't.

To me honestly I LOVE this screen. very nice and responsive (unlike my vision sometimes sadly) and the colors are better. i am a little biased sure (ive been waiting for a 4.3 inch screen for a while) but the big factor for me at least is that the pyramid is visible outside. i think its a really big step up.
How are data speeds? I know it's a 14.4 device, but a newer radio may be better optimized - also -how is the reception? Battery?
Have you had a chance to use HTC watch yet?
I have a G2 currently and love it, I really like the look of the Sensation though..
4G is insanely slow right now honestly. i think its because the device isnt even released by tmobile yet so im not making it a biggie right now. when its working though, its extremely quick, especially on wifi. and there is virtually no lag whatsoever anywhere especially when using the device. and it gets faster over time. havent used htc watch though yet im sorry. cant make any calls on the battery life. this is still my first run through of the battery.

Looks like it has the Sense keyboard to me. The gingerbread keyboard is black right?
I am also coming from a G2. I love this phone in every aspect. However, I do find myself switching back to the G2 every now and then simply because it has root and a trackpad for scrolling long articles. Thats probably the only thing I miss. A trackpad, never realized how much easier it made things. Would you all happen to know of an app that givesu a thumb scroll in every app like the music app has? I have no idea why htc, or google (whoever's fault it is) chose not to integrate this feature all around.
Well,not here to ask questions as I already bought the Galaxy S II(was between that and the Sensation),but I can tell you some things for sure.
Sometimes,you're gonna miss that extra RAM that HTC for some reason didn't give this phone.768mb on the Sensation with Sense 3 is as pure stupid as the good camera with no flash on the Galaxy S.Second is that,although the Adreno 220 is REALLY good and is bound to get even better with root and,obviously,overclocking,it isn't really the beast that'll handle the qHD screen with ease,especially when scrolling through screens.
For the rest,I still think that it's a hell of a good phone,just not quite the upgrade from my Desire HD.Not comparing or fanboyin' or anything(ALL my smartphones until now were HTC after all),but just HTC could have made it better.I kinda like the Evo 3D though...
I haven't seen any lag on the sensation at all.are you referring to the sense launcher when you say scrolling through screens? Cuz with that, there is no lag either. I knew there was less ram when I bought it and I thought I might end up regretting it but I honestly haven't seen any reason to and this is just stock. I can only imagine afterwards. I don't think I will overclock like I did my g2. 1, for the sake of the battery, and I don't see how the speed could really improve much

Well,take my word with a pinch of salt as I don't have a Sensation.But on my Desire HD with Sense 3 rom(768mb of RAM too),RAM is always less than 200mb free.No lagging there too,but after some use and some 100 apps installed,I think it would show.
i currently have a vision
but im dying either for the sensation or the evo 3d, do any of you hapen to know if theres gonna be a 850mhz version of one of these 2 beauties?
. Just because 100 apps are installed, doesn't necessarily mean they are all eating ram. I do however understand what you are saying. I guess only time will show as I've only had it for two and a half weeks now. I think that extra core will kick in then. From my knowledge, the sg2 has a processor where both cores are on at all times where as the sensation's cores can run independently of each other. I think that will lead to better battery optimization. Maybe the lag, if any one experiences any, is when that second core is kicking in. I haven't had this happen to me, but to comment on the topic in case anyone is switching, my advice would be to absolutely grab that sensation. But keep your g2 if you can cause it was indeed a great successor to the first ever android.

G2x future development

Hey everyone, I currently have a Samsung vibrant but I'm looking to upgrade. The G2x looks sick and since the galaxy s2 isn't out for tmo yet I'm trying to decide what to get.
Long story short, does development seem to be slowing for this device? I've been watching some of the rom threads for a while now and trigger seems to be abandoned.
Just wondering because I'm addicted to flashing and if the future is bleek for the G2x it'd be nice to know haha.

I was also waiting for SGS2. But since the model will have 4.5'' screen, I'll rather stay with G2x. 4.5'' is way bigger that what I can handle
I unfortunately just got the g2x and it development is (compared to active forums) non-existent. Seems no one gives a **** or people that like making roms do not own this phone.

I agree, if nVidia would release their proprietary drivers, the devs could get working again.

What exactly do people want from development? We have a few stable ROMs, CM is going forward. Once you achieve stability or relative stability, development does stop. I don't see a point of having 20 different ROMs with only visual differences, like many other phones here with a lot of so-called development do.

Well said. In the past I have flashed my phones so often (dailies on CM6) that I never got to enjoy my phone. Was flashing it every day (sometimes twice a day) and then dealing with bugs and annoyances in the dailies. Some people are addicted to flashing; but who wants to flash constantly to set your phone back up and then flash it again. Plus, eventually you might brick it. On the G2X I just want to enjoy having a speedy phone with little or no problems, that is why the only ROM I have flashed is the GB update and haven't even bothered to root it yet. So far enjoying my phone immensely just using it as intended.

I came from a vibrant too where I was flashing multiple times a week, constantly tweaking to find performance and stability. then when I got my g2x something felt strange.. took a while for me to realize that it was because after weeks of owning the phone all I had done was rooted it. didn't have to flash anything. it took some getting used to but I can say for sure that I wasn't enjoying my vibrant due to the constant messing around. this phone i enjoy because I just get to use it.

Same here. I never find my perfect rom for Vibrant. Too many rom / kernel / modem made me flashing every other day. Every time I wished that the new flash would give be better GPS / Speed / Battery.
Now with G2x I am pretty happy that I have a stable rom with everything I need.
I say wait either for the sgs 2 or the htc 4g amaze.

It may be dwindled, and flashing can be fun sometimes. But mostly I just want a super fast, daily driver with the least amount of bugs. Most of the roms right now have been about as stable as can be expected with better kernels too. I'm happy for all the effort anyone has put in to allow me to not be stuck on stock...seriously try going back and realize what we have available.

Android 4.0 RAM Requirement

What is the optimal amount of RAM a phone must have to run Ice Cream sandwhich efficently?
I think ics requires at least 1gig. Custom roms may be able to run on less but it's not ideal.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Having used a Droid OG with 256mb of RAM on ICS, I can honestly say it sucks balls. There's virtually no multitasking, everything closes.
But 512mb seems to be good nonetheless. The HTC Aria with 384mb of RAM has a pretty good ICS ROM as well...
As long as its stock ICS, it doesn't require too much RAM at all. 512mb seems to be a good, solid amount however.

I know, but more attention to finer details never killed anyone
Plus it's worthwhile mentioning how much is restricted to GPU usage, some phones might use less, or more. So saying 512MB as a blanket statement isn't going to cover all phones.

You can say that again. My x8 is barely coping. 168mb of ram on a good day
Ics runs smooth on legeng with 300+ ram. Don't know the exact value.
Mororola mailstome had 512 mb of ram and this enought for ICS and JB.
While there is no official requirement (and there are ports to the G1 with a beefy 96mb of ram) its accepted that 512mb would be required to run it well

I've stopped trolling and I don't think the gs4g phone is worth it anymore. I'm happy that devs are still working on it but I think I need to move on instead of begging for a new update. I've almost forgotten there are other options out there.
I don't know if it's still like this but my first android phone was a mytouch 3g slide. HTC made it and that phone was the biggest pain in the butt to get rooted due to the locked boot loader. I got the s2 and have been very happy with it.

The HTC one s has been majorly upgraded it runs ics and sense 4 ( sense 4 is infinitely better than touchwiz if for no other reason the fact that touchwiz5 can be flashed as a zip onto the one s) with no worries to the one s out of the box so you get best of both worlds) has an awesome 4.3 in 900 by 560 screen res but easily a one handed device due to the thin design. Has an amazing camera a great dual core 1.5 MHz thingy ma bob (not the most tech specific term) and i could definately see the smoothness was comparable to the one x's and the gs3 but it has no expandable memory or access to battery. Oh and a HUUUUGGGE plus is that the one s has an alpha cm10 build already. So pretty much the s one is better than the s2 in every thing except for storage, price, and nfc. Seems like a no brainer right! Its just that with a 2 yr contract the one s is $150 vs the gs2's wapping 0 dollars. I could wait for the price to drop but it was at 50$ back in April when I couldn't upgrade so I doubt the price will drop that much. I feel like this post may have answered by own question lol.

I never said sense is bad. Just that you have a hard on for it.

The HTC one s has been majorly upgraded it runs ics and sense 4 ( sense 4 is infinitely better than touchwiz if for no other reason the fact that touchwiz5 can be flashed as a zip onto the one s) with no worries to the one s out of the box so you get best of both worlds) has an awesome 4.3 in 900 by 560 screen res but easily a one handed device due to the thin design. Has an amazing camera a great dual core 1.5 MHz thingy ma bob (not the most tech specific term) and i could definately see the smoothness was comparable to the one x's and the gs3 but it has no expandable memory or access to battery. Oh and a HUUUUGGGE plus is that the one s has an alpha cm10 build already. So pretty much the s one is better than the s2 in every thing except for storage, price, and nfc. Seems like a no brainer right! Its just that with a 2 yr contract the one s is $150 vs the gs2's wapping 0 dollars. I could wait for the price to drop but it was at 50$ back in April when I couldn't upgrade so I doubt the price will drop that much. I feel like this post may have answered by own question lol.

Go look at the s2 forum, I'm running cm10 alpha on mine right now and it is official lol. It was up in the air for me between the one s and s2 as well. I would rather have reliable hardware

I'd wait til later in the year to see what the new Nexus device/devices will be. The GS4G, and mainly it's dev community, is more than enough to suffice until then

Honestly I didn't know what the big deal was when I was on this forum before I got this phone with jelly bean. And now having used it for a couple weeks I really still don't see the big deal with it. It's nice don't get me wrong but it's not leaps and bounds better than ics like gb was to ics.
All in all I'm happy with the phone. Dual core is awesome, the gig of ram also helps allot. love the bigger screen. And with the 16g internal and the 16g sd card I had from my sgs4g I don't think I will be worrying about storage problems for awhile lol

Also a good thing is this

Although it seems it's more so for the International version... and we will have to wait a bit longer... but still
The 64GB expanded storage is what hurts the most I think, though it's very possible there willl be a variant with less like our HOXL.
Stop making these threads!!!! We have 4-5 already!!!! Search!

Not really. A mostly unnoticeable jump in CPU speed (that OC could have already gotten you), and 64 GB when I still don't fill my 8 GB. Carry on. I'll be waiting for Exynos 5.
Yea. It seems to much like the Int. One x. And I'm just excited for some official jellybean. =D Can't wait to see how they pull it off, since the last official stock ROM was actually good this should he better with butter and what not!

I my self love my current One-x phone but if i could have asked for anything different it would have been the storage space. I still havent filled up my current one-x but just knowing that the phone has plenty of space is a good comfort feeling. Ultimately this phone wouldnt make me jump to try and sell my current one, but it sure would have been nice to have more than 16 (12 useable) gigs of space.
The storage and bigger battery hurt some. The processor boost is whatever, but I am constantly having to pull stuff off my phone because I am out of storage and that extra 17% of battery capacity would have made it so I make it home every night before my phone dies.

Agree. During the $.25 sale i realized how little space we have on our phone! I ran out of space after buying FIFA, Mass effect and batman. I never thought i would run out of space on my phone but 14GB seems too little now.
32 would be ideal, 64 perfect.
I'm not a big fan of tegra 3 because of its battery consumption. I prefer cortex 15 based s4 which is very efficient.
The battery and rom is the only thing that i wish i had.
Dupe thread. Closed.
