T Mobile has a web only deal for a Samsung Galaxy S 4G for free ending today.
For those of you that have one, can you please let me know what you think of it ? I guess it ends today so they can clear stock for the HTC sensation, but I dont think I'll be able to afford one of those, so this seems like a sweet deal.
some honest opinions would be appreciated, good or bad.

I bet its the same deal they did with the g2, you have to make a new plan/new line of service with a web plan to get the special deal. They wouldn't even work with me on the phone over it.

Get this phone cause I'm telling you ya won't regret it. Ever since one of the devs(drhonk) got the phone to test on things are blowing up around here(I mean that in a good way ) we have cwm and a few roms and alot of Tweaks that are gonna make that sgs4g fly and all your friends are gonna be like "wtf, I wish my phone would perform like that". Lol. But yes I would definitely recommended it especially if its for free. I mean come on that's a deal.
**edit** if what flyinbird93 says is true then that sucks I thought it was free upgrade when trading in your existing phone

Yes, it's an online only deal, but it seems pretty awesome.
I'm giving up on Verizon since my home area is a known trouble spot, and they're letting me out of my contract for free.
So come on, be honest, let me know all the pros and cons...battery life ? Camera good ? Is Video chat any good ? Is the 4G service good ?
wow. didn't last long. out of stock already

Too bad. I scored two for free with a new contract over mothers day weekend. Do not regret it at all. Get on the back order list off you can.
On the moon our weekends are so advanced they encompass the entire week
I'm trying to get my friend to get one but they are out of stock! Sucks!
There is no better phone, even for the 150-300 some could pay for it. I doubled my original speeds in one day just by grabbing the latest updates here. Trying to get my g/f to snag me another s4g for free during this deal for my daughter, its gonna be a family phone here, lol.
Got the same deal
They had this deal about a month and a half back. This is how I ended up with the phone. I switched over from sprint and am loving every minute of it. Not too big on the unlimited data but only 2gb of high speed cap they have in place but its cool. There is a lot going on with this phone right now to make it really bad ass, hell it is a beast completely stock.
i've had the SGS4G for a little over a month and i love it, and its gotten better the past few weeks with all the roms and other dev stuff coming out for it. it's prob just as good as the HTC Sensation for the value since you'd be paying a lot more for the Sensation now. the specs are pretty equal i think, the only thing is that it doesnt have a notification LED and no camera flash/LED either, but thats not too big an issue so i dont mind as much now.

I have no complaints about the phone myself. I was sad about the internal storage but once you fota fix that problem is solved. As far as notification light - I use Bali kernel which has BLN support. My four buttons on the bottom light up whenever I have a notification. The ext4 mod makes my phone super snappy and responsive and I can't wait until we get voodoo on top of that.
My co-worker used the Sensation over the weekend and said it seems to have some odd connectivity issues when making phone calls/texts/using data. http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/HTC-SENSATION-4G/Sensation-4G-Data-Connectivity-Issues/td-p/875585 Every phone has it's flaws but I hope it isn't plagued by bugs like the G2X (which is an AWESOME phone but just needs a software update).
Don't get me wrong, The Sensation is a beast but I'm not a big fan of Sense UI. I prefer Go Launcher or Launcher Pro. Heck I'd even use the stock Gingerbread launcher over Sense. If you try to run an alternate launcher over Sense it seems to bog the phone down (at least on pre-dual core phones). This probably wont be a problem once they unlock the bootloader though.
Let the results speak for them selves I mean were literally blowing other phone out the water thanks to this community.

Can you point me in the right direction for this mod? I have frost bionix running, and this mod would just be the icing on the cake. Thanks!
Also, I took advantage of this deal and now my dad will have one of these awesome phones just in time for fathers day. We got the 200 mb data free for a year too. If you take advantage of this deal, make sure to call and ask for free data/10.00 off your data (if you want more than 200 mb)
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Sure. The kernel that bionix comes with has bln support. You need to download the bln app from the market. To make it work you need to push a file to /system/lib/hw. You can find a link to the post that has this file on the bali kernel's thread. It's the fix by chadster I believe.

Ditto, Had a g2x and traded it (had no issues except for minimal screen bleed. I still have another one but it's at LG for repair rma due to excessive screen bleeding) Really am loving the sensation. The G2X is faster for sure, but we shall see which is faster once we get S-off and root and a vanilla android rom Once I get my G2X back from LG I think I will switch between the 2 for a few days then the g2x will probably become my business line phone. I'm on flex pay and here is the strange thing.. with my g2x it let me forward my VM to google voice, with the sensation it doesnt. I read that flex pay customers are barred from using conditional forwarding so not sure how it worked on my g2x and not on my sensation.. smh

If you happen to get that weird black box on the lock screen, place your finger where the circle would normally be and flick up. It'll unlock the phone without a battery pull (don't know if you saw my topic on that on moco).

No i did not, thanks though. Ill remember that.. loving it so far ....
I am on my third Sensation and so far this one has been quite good. I have a G2x which I really like as well and also a Vibrant (that I thought I would always keep) and if the Sensation continues to perform flawlessly I will sell my Vibrant. There is just something about the Sensation, I really do not know what it is, but even though the G2x is faster at this point and seems smoother to me, I just keep picking up the Sensation. I hope that s off comes very quickly so we can see what this phone is really like!!!!!!!!!!!
+1
Please include me in the list..
I dont have G2X, BUT I use to have O2X which I think is similar phone, with some dimension different and signal processes only. Anyway, I ditch my O2X due to its poor design body, and its crap software UI..I'm not deny, O2X is faster compare to sensation, but I could not stand it when I hold in my hand and play with its UI...Grrrrrrr!!!!!!
+1 also dont like its bleed display!!
Love sensation!!
Hey smash, I remember you from the Vibrant forum so welcome to The new Sensation

Smash welcome to the dark side lol. And to answer your question, no I'm not having any issues loading large sites. I tried engadget (full site), cnn, and a couple others and it loads fine on or off wifi.
I'm going to jump on this thread instead of making a new one... Just returned a family member's G2x for it being the most buggy production phone I have ever seen, shame lg.
Anyway, looking at the sensation as a replacement, anything a huge issue? The g2x had such a software rebooting problem it was absolutely unusable. Just want to make sure software and hardware are working fine for most people...

Hey guys, I know that this is the millionth post about this but I gave in and switched to the Sensation.
I could not handle the reboots and the fact the TMobile and LG left me in Limbo for so long about what they were going to do.
I just wanted to thank all the Developers that made the phone usable and all the people who helped me out when I had questions. The G2X is truly a great phone and I hope that it comes back truly stronger with the Gingerbread update. Again. Thank you.

Well, I own both...and unless the news out of LG is totally bad..I won't be switching. It's slower and sexier and has the same problems every other phone has...
Both are good phones...I doubt the lack or reboots was the final decider. Its a Nexus style body that is fast and cool, and new, and it fit nicely in your hand.
If you like it, you like it. If not, you don't. Next !!!!
I did a test... I handed my girlfriend the Sensation...she goes...wow....this is nice. then I handed her the G2x. She goes...wow....this is nice. I see your problem now. All of that without once touching anything on the phone....only holding it.
Would you own a phone that didn't feel good in your hand? I owned an iPhone...bought it because it was cool. I gave it away to my son because he wanted it. The phone felt weird so I wasn't overwhelmed by it. Looked at the iphone 4 at VZW last week. It still felt weird. Didn't buy it.
So, bottom line....this is NOT about quality, this is about feeling good !!! hahahahah where's that guy with the bridge !!!

Come on Tom. I am happy with my G2X but I am sure that the Sensation will not be pulled from stores for a month without any word from HTC and T-mobile . I'm also sure that folks that have them don't have to go through 3 of them to get a working one or flash a custom rom to keep it from rebooting. AGAIN . I love my G2X but at least the sensation shipped with gingerbread .

Yea, using the "S" word here is a no no. It's kind of funny because over in the Sensation forum, you don't see anyone talking **** about the G2X and trying to justify why the Sensation is the better device.
Usually when you need to start justifying something......well....you figure it out!
I have both devices and they are both great in my opinion. The best anology I can make is by comparing them to cars. The g2x is a lamborghini, the sensation is a porsche.
The g2x is faster and more exotic, but difficult to live with on a daily basis due to instability and "high" maintenance.
The sensation is plenty quick, just not as quick, but the great trade-off is that it is reliable and predictable.

Sent from my super snappy G2x
I want to jump in here a sec, i have a G2X, im on my second one. First one was rebooting and driving me crazy, Amazon as always is awesome. Got my replacement with no screen bleed but it randomly reboots also, does it less but it still does. Called them up and got them to send me a Sensation. I've tested it before and saw some very minor lag, but the phone is a beaut. Come Monday i will have them both in hand and have 30 days to decide. I love the G2X but my wife who has a Nexus one and my son who has a Nexus S both tell me the same thing why keep a phone if you cant have it reliably answer a call or make a call. I'm tired of my wife and son telling me there phones are so stable. I know already, both of them where mine lol. Just last night we where watching a movie on the tv and the G2X was sitting there on the table and it just reboot again and my wife just laughed. Im so lucky to be able to just switch to whatever phone i want and not worry about things like reboots. LG you have 30 days to fix, HTC you have 30 days to unlock or i hear Smasung has a SGS2 i can import.

uhhh, I did not pick either of the posts, one is this threads OP and the other is what you wrote specifically to me. BS has a certain odor.
So you write to me telling me you like and love your G2x, comment on people who have Sensations, clearly showing you are not part of that group.
THEN only 6 hours later, you create this thread as a swan song that you are ditching the G2x and went to the Sensation.
From loving the phone to dumping the phone in 6 hours flat. I only noticed the smell because you posted by name to me, and you created this thread 6 hours later. So I thought I would ask you why you bought a 600 dollar phone replace a phone you had loved just 6 hours earlier.
Sorry to have a sense of smell, thought you might want to explain/bluff more....no need as yes they are both great phones, both with about the same level of problems, with the biggest difference being most of the G2x will be resolved and speeded up by 2.3 that the Sensation already runs that.
The thread you posted to me was on irony, your thread here and that are very ironic...I have both a nose and a sense of irony.

Why can't he love his G2X but use another phone?
I love my G2X but I love my Sensation more. Am I a troll as well because I don't use the G2X anymore as my daily driver?
Ok,Here me out I know this has been asked but I have a different situation and reall y need input as of right now I've read so many reviews and heard so many diff opinions I just want some help on here.
Ok so I bought the shift 11 days ago and realized while I have no problems with it I do want the most out of my upgrade, that being said I turned my attention towards the nexus S, also by the way I only wanted to spend 100 dollars no more than that or I would've gotten the Evo 3d or some other dual core awesome phone. Anyways, I know I would give up the hardware keyboard but feel this is inevitable and something I will eventually do. However the NS has a faster processor, better screen, bigger screen, no crap sprint apps you cant get rid of and a forward facing camera which is a big positive for me.
Heres the deal though I never go against reviews and all the stats say that the Shift wins by like a whole start on every review site. That being said a sprint tech said they have more returns on shifts than the NS and that he loves his NS. So I go in considering the trade and the salesman comforted me saying he wouldn't make the trade. I took his advice then got home and thought well of course the salesman said that it'd be cheaper and they'd have to refund me about 50 bucks and a hundred in the long run. Also I read it has bad wifi problems is that true? I'm sorry for the disorder of this post, I'm just extremely frustrated and don't have much time.
SO I know this has been long, but in eveyones opinion what would you do? i know the NS feels cheaper but I mean does that matter? With a nice case, a zag full body cover and insurance should that matter? Also, the 16gb no sd card thing doesn't bother me I don't think I'll ever and never have exceeded 4gb.
I only have 2 days to decide.
Thanks everyone in advance
Idk about the wifi or reception issues since I have the GSM version but the nexus s is much better than the shift in every way unless u like hardware keyboards. Its not as flimsy as everyone makes it seem, its a really solid and well built phone. easy decision.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
HAve you rooted it? I really don't want to but heard that the reception was fixed with last upgrade BUT they also got rid of the free hotspot which sucks. Do you use the forward facing camera?? THis is a key feature to me I really want to be good. Thanks so much man I just don't know I really appreciate any input.

Yeah I rooted it since its so simple to do. Im running stock with a different kernel. Yeah I've used the front facer for Skype and gtalk, works well. I can't comment on the update for sprint because the update for GSM phones didn't stop the hotspot feature. But flashing a different rom will fix that for you and its really easy to do on this phone so you won't run into any difficulties.

Geez thanks so much seriously. I'm a noob at the concept of rooting my last phone was a shift and I couldn't stand it. I read the shift rooting info and was like no theres no way I can do this. Thanks!
OH and one last question it seems you can't push emails to it other than gmail is this true? I can't imagine this being true and the sprint tech said you could, just want to confirm with someone other than a sprint tech.

No reception or wifi issues I promise you. Return ur phone to Sprint and go to Best Buy you'll get the Nexus for free. Honestly would rather have this phone over the 3d or the photon. You won't be disappointed.

WOw thanks all so much, and all other comments much welcomed, I'd love to hear any other experiences with the forward cam thanks!

yea I think it will have ics after a month or two after the nexus prime comes out, but it will be the first single core to get ics. im pretty sure most of the single core phone wont even get ics but i could be wrong. lol
Do you think it will be able to properly run ICS? everything I've read says yes and that most likely hardware acceleration will actually make the NS faster and better, do you all agree with that?
I was in ths same boat as you. I came over from a hero read all ths reviews yada yada yada. I had no idea about root or anything. After doing a little but of reading I was able to root and Get the wireless hotspot back without any problems. Reception isn't bad at all on my phone, and I'm on wifi allll the time ABC it gets the sans signal strengths as my viao. As you said no bloatware to is great, along with knowing besides prime nexus a will get ICS before other phones. I had an eco for 3 days in a trial before the ns4g and am happy I switched. I am on the sprint network, and live in CO and even with where I work in the mountains hardly ever drop calls same with my widest nexus service reception is still great and fast enough to video chat which we do often and love on our phones using the front camera. Hope that helps!
Hi Everyone,
My girlfriend lost her iphone 4s a few weeks ago. I've found a one x for a great price except the housing is cracked by the charging port. Is this something I should worry about?
Also, coming from an iphone, is the htc one x fairly intuitive? IMO, it's a better phone but my girlfriend is not as tech savvy as I am. Please let me know, thank you for your help.

Give her a few days and messing with it and she'll figure everything out. It's not like things are super complicated to find or do and there are plenty of "getting started with android" articles out there.
Got a picture of the cracked port? If it's between the port and the screen I wouldn't worry about it. If it's on the other side creeping towards the back of the device I would be a bit worried that a few more drops could propagate the crack.
I don't have a picture but I'm going to see it tonight in person. Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

You have your answer for the crack, but the change from iPhone to HOX is very easy.
I actually came from an iPhone 4 before the HOX.
The only thing i think she'll miss is Siri, its a gimmick anyway and there's voice to text and voice control on this phone.
Best of luck to you guys with the transition.
PS: You could also get the housing replaced if it bothers her.

Make sure to turn it on to make sure it boots. Also you should boot it into the bootloader (reboot the phone and hold vol down until the bootloader shows up). At the top you'll see some words like LOCKED, TAMPERED, RELOCKED, etc etc. If you see TAMPERED that means the phone is rooted. UNLOCKED or RELOCKED means the bootloader has been unlocked or relocked.
If the person has a custom rom installed on it, I would ask him/her to RUU it back to stock before giving it to you. It'll be helpful to your girlfriend to have stock software so she can find the support she needs for it without coming here to the forums being confused about why hers has weird bugs and isn't running stock.
I bet some one took that bad boy apart. That's the only way I have seen that particular area get cracked, is from taking the phone apart

You should bring an active micro sim card with you to make sure it works, been reading a few stories about buying used phones and people finding out later that the imei got blacklisted.
Did anybody else glance at this thread and think someone was asking about a crack house? Lol

Thank for your replies everybody. I picked up the phone and I have to say, I'm using a galaxy s3 right now and the one x's screen is definitely sharper - I much prefer it. More importantly, my girlfriend loves the phone.
I ran into a bit of luck as the random I thought I was meeting up with turned out to be a friend of a friend. He seemed pretty honest about everything and the crack isn't really that bad at all. He gave me the receipt as well, puppy is on warranty till june 2013.
I never thought I'd be jealous of my girlfriends phone but I think I am a little.

Says something about the purity of your mind doesn't it?

Just an FYI your warranty is for the person who bought it only... But nothing you can't fix
