I was thinking of trading a NS for G2x. Would u do it. They are both vanilla but one has a better camera,gpu,dual core and 4g. The other carries the Nexus Baggage.
God please no
What baggage?
Sent from my Nexus S
I had a G2X and traded it for a NS. Personally, I'd keep your NS.
While the G2X has superior camera (not by that much), CPU/GPU, external speaker placement, and HDMI out it's not as good as it sounds.
The camera is very marginally better than the NS. Remember megapixels isn't everything.
The CPU/GPU is superior on paper and in benchmarks, but you'd never notice in real world usage thanks to crappy driver implementation by NVIDIA.
The HDMI out is good.. but I honestly didn't use it that much. If you use an AOSP rom, you're limited to 720p anyway.
The biggest thing I miss is the external SD slot... but I've adapted with the NS.
Just my two cents.

Phones are like stocks and just recently the price of a Nexus "Stock" has soared since google confirmed ICS update. This is exactly why i traded my G2x for this.

No way. I went from an N1 to a G2X to an NS. And I'll never make the mistake of leaving the Nexus line again. Trust me. The G2X is buggy as hell, I went through three of them before giving up. It's unusually heavy and tall, and has a awful waste of space around the buttons. Despite being "vanilla" Android, the stock ROM is crap. Not sure how the custom ROMs are doing these days. With ICS coming to the NS soon, you would be making a huge mistake to switch.
What if its bug free?

They barely announced this. Do you think they would scrap all their production to unlock the bootloaders? ... No
More than likely you will just see the key leaked earlier on the sensation.
HTC stated that future phones would be unlocked. At that time the sensation was in production already.

Yes the sensation will be unlocked. Well the keys given out.
But the sensation is clearly suffering from older tech. How does a 1ghz dual core in the g2x outperform a 1.2 ghz in the sensation?
Especially when the g2x is running foyo and the sensation is running gingerbread.
Has all these people who want to ditch the g2x even researched the 2?
The g2x is in fact the better phone.
They raised the price because the only thing your getting better on the sensation is the screen.
And thats debatable.

For those of you who don't know the sensation uses an arm a8 processor and the g2x uses a arm a9, even though the sensation is clocked higher it still doesn't match up to the g2x its like an i7 vs i5.

Same here, I remember thinking about getting the Sensation but then came along the G2x which is a beast. Second best phone coming out this year, have to give an edge to the GS II just because of the 4.3 inch SUPER AMOLED PLUS screen and it's dual core 1.2GHz processor that hits 3100+.........besides that both phones are just as good as each other. Oh and mind you the G2x isn't running GB yet which means those 2500-2800 quadrant scores should be around 3000 as well.
Running stock rooted G2x with faux123 stock kernel @ 1.1GHz

I think the bulk of the persons who are choosing the Sensation over the G2x may be those who got fed up with the bum G2x's out there that have the constant locking up or rebooting problems. I personally have gone through 3 of them and was ready to explode over the matter...
Yes yes, I know, "I have one and I haven't had any of those problems" - good for you - you're one of the lucky ones. For us who have experienced it with multiple phones, well, lets just say that we have been left with a bad taste in our mouths.

The rear cover on the SGSII may look thin and cheap, but you know that it can flex from end-to-end without breaking right? There is a reason...
I've dropped my SGS4G so many times and it endured...it's far from cheap.
The bigger and heavier it is the harder it'll fall...

I have em both, and must say.... The battery life is much better on sgsII. The camera(with or without high quality fix) is way better, no lag (except wake up 1sec) on sgsII, easy root sgsII. Build quality is almost same, if you think about the weight. And most of all screen on the sgsII is way better in all aspects. And in direct sunlight it rocks in comperment to sensation, witch is almost impossible to see.
For the sensation, the sense 3.0 is GREEEEEAAAAT... Lockscreen sweet, dlna is better. Its better in hand. Software is better overall.

Same thing I was wondering. The SGS II comes out in Canada next Thursday and I'm still going to be within my 14 Day return period. Its been like 3 days and I already got that annoying "dust under the screen" issue. The phone is great, camera takes crisp pics and all and Sense 3.0 is beautiful no doubt, but there are things that I'm starting to question.

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?

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??

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.

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.

IMO the sensation really isn't anything special. The screen on it sucks and its not that fast for it being a dual core phone. I played with the epic touch gs2 yesterday....and now that's a phone to drool over. That right now is the only phone out that's worth an upgrade from the mt4g. Again this is just my opinion.

I've heard some bad things about the Sensation, but I think the sluggish speed is caused by the async Snapdragon that Qualcomm made. Both CPUs won't be on unless they're both needed and I'm guessing that doesn't work really good in Gingerbread, so perhaps on 1 core is active. When the Exynos or Tegra 2 the cores are both on all the time, so they should be faster, although they still clock up and down as normal. The screen in lacking, but it's no S/Amoled or IPS or Retina. HTC doesn't really produce nicer screens like the competition, they use S-LCD or LCD in their phones, not sure if they have any other tech ATM.
Well, I can agree on this. I've never been a fan of MyTouch models, but T-Mo forced me. I've been from a T-Mo G1 (Dream), to a T-Mo G2 (Desire Z), then to a samsung Galaxy S 4g and when it got stolen, the assurant would only leave me with a MyTouch 4g. Really can't compare the screen, but hey, I'm more than pleased. I'm quite impressed this phone doesn't have that much of a great feedback from T-Mo. :/ Oh well.
Yeah I've had a bunch, came from an epic and I have to say this phone is good stock. Unity is boss though. Omfg.
Edit: one other thing... This community is so chilled and friendly compared to the previous ones I have been a part of. Thank you people...

Do you wish you had your SGS4G still, or you happier with this one?

Totally happier with this one. SGS4G relied TOO MUCH on the screen~ and it was just annoying sometimes. I got used to physical buttons because of my last phones, so I felt like using an iPhone not an Android. And besides, the SGS4G's front facing camera was just sad.

You didn't like the ROM's for the Galaxy? I would think their FFC quality would be better than the MT4G's.

DhD, TB, and MT4G is last 2GS single core proc of HTC and with even DDR1 768MB we are set for long time. Keep in mind with custom mod hack (script, tweak, rom, kernel) if you know what you doing your set now until we have need for dual core.

Sorry was it hard for you to comprehend?
DhD = Desire HD (GSM)
TB = Thunderbolt (CDMA)
2GS = Second Generation Spandragon
So technically Inspire HD (GSM-US) is equivalent of Desire HD (GSM-EU). Since we real pro die hard SmartPhone user know HTC owns Moto and SamSUX, so that's another subject of its own.
Now the point I was making is as you being home user you yourself do not need or dual core mCPU yet. So MT4G is same spec as Thunderbolt (yes I'm aware of the screen and nand diff). Thus last of its kind not failed attempt to upgrade us to dual core when Android framework so far utilizing only cpu0 as cpu1 thread is most not used as OS and App is not using it yet.

Yeah I'm skipping dual cores then just gonna go for quads or whatever is out in Fall next year.

Most likely, never had the chance to check. The phone got stolen a month after bought so I could barely play around with it. It's not usual of me to root a phone the same day I get it; I stay with root for a few days, and in this case, a month. Now with the MT4G, no way I was gonna stay with stock for a month, no way. |: hahaha.
Hi guys, I've move to the Sensation its nice and all,but mytouch4G seems better and faster to be honest I miss my mytouch4G its a great phone. I'm thinking of selling this Sensation and get HTC Amazed or SGII. But I love Sense but the speakers in HTC sux,gonna be a hard decision.

I'm new to smartphones, got the MT4G in Feb and love it. I just rooted last month and put Virtuous Unity(2.3.5 and V9 unity kernal) on it and it outperformed the Sensation in quadrant and just "feels" better.
The MT4G forums here are great! Even this old man has learned alot.
This is my first smartphone. Rooted and S off the first week. Been impressed eversince. My girl got a g2x it seems sluggish compared to mt4g. Battery life is much better also.

i recently got a mytouch 4g slide and i am wondering if i should trade it for a g2x and want to know what your ideas.
i wouldn't.
g2x has craploads of issues and tegra2 is inferior (imo) to dual core snapdragon.
i tried a tegra 2 device and it sucks balls compared to my mt4gs, it can't even handle youtube 480p properly

G2x destroys mytouch and is more openly developed. Tegra wrecks snapdragon.

that is kinda of the problem i am running into with the mytouch is there is not a whole lot of roms and mods compared to the g2x but then i saw the difference in hardware specs and was unsure. i am not a big fan of sense overlay, its rather ugly and slow i have to run a ics launcher just to tolerate it.

maybe in a parallel universe.
if you are talking benchmarks then yes, but just try to do some actual stuff and you'll see the difference. i repeat, tegra 2 has issues even with 480p youtube videos which is RIDICULOUS for a dual core processor (it lacks NEON instructions, lol). Meanwhile i can watch 1080p high profile videos on my mt4gs with diceplayer...

point made i have found on the g2x forums this problem on several instances. but i am really not liking what i am seeing as far as android 4.0 roms for the mt4gs, and i dont know how or if a mt4g rom can be ported to a mt4gs rom
it is highly likely that we will have both official ICS and CM9 ICS, but nothing is confirmed and we could always get the short end of the stick and get none.

I HIGHLY recommend not getting a G2X. I went through 2 different G2X phones and had software issues with both of them. There was seriouse development issues with the LG G2X and was a nightmare trying to get the issues resolved. (they never were resolved and I ended up selling the phone on EBAY) LG and T-Mobile never wanted to take responsibility for the hardware/software flaws and never really publicly acknowledged the issues. It seems like they even went as far as taking the phone off their shelves for a couple months in the summer due to the poor quality control. Just read the reviews on T-Mobile's own site, it's a garbage phone.
Save yourself time and trouble and get anything else other than a G2X.

Not take a side cause that would defeat the purpose. Of asking on hear, but thee bugs with the g2x have been shown and from what I have read (could be wrong). Can be fixed by several tweaks but mt4gs I haven't seen as much about bugs needed to be fixed ( although might be to new ) at this point ?

in some other thread there was a user claiming to be an HTC employee that made it very clear that that list is by no means finished... so there's still a chance that mt4gs will get official ICS.
on the bright side, CM9 is already under development
