So thought I was in the clear with this phone, I started having problems again. Called T-Mobile and now they are now sending the my touch 4g NIB. Umm am I getting the shaft here. Bottom line is I want a phone that works. But I don't know much about this phone and am afraid I'm gettting the shaft. I really think T-Mobile is the worst carrier ever!! I knew I should've went with a bigger carrier. Sigh :-(

As far as I'm concerned, you're getting ripped off. That phone came out around November or December of last year? It is also only single core as opposed to dual core, as well as many other advantages the G2x has over it...
I'm not sure of your issues, but obviously a working phone is better than a broken one.

The mytouch 4g is a really nice phone. Should the g2x be swapped for it? I don't think so. I don't think its a fair trade off especially since a week and a half ago they were giving mytouch 4g's for free on a new contract

Shafted. I know there is no way I would allow that.
You need to tell them you don't want that phone. You should have known better than to accept it lol.

ummm dude i would call them back i mean dont get me wrong i had the mytouch 4g and it is a great phone and there are lots of roms and kernels for it but u just took a step down in terms of speed, processor, screen, etc. they shouldnt have did that nor should u have let them. that phone is not equal to the g2x

Tmo offered me a MT4G as well, I kindly declined since I already had one. I just got my third replacement and the screen bleed is even worse than my second lol. Number 4 is now on it's way.
After 5 they offered me to upgrade early on the line so I said yes they let me keep the g2x which runs well just the screen bleeds...I gave in took the sensation for a second phone and hopefully when the update for the g2x comes out ill give my wife the sensation. Best option all the way around...

Oh man, working phone you would want, but definitely downgraded in terms of **** on the phone! Call them back! HURRY!
You're getting shafted. Tell them you want a sensation or the ability to upgrade to another phone. Screw a mytouch. A working G2x is much better

May have to do with what the manufacturer is allowing them to do.
T-Mobile is not going to offer Sensations to the masses. They cannot send the G2X back to LG since it's outside of 30 days and they would have to eat the cost of the Sensation. Some people got the Sensation but most are not. The only reason why I did is because T-Mobile ****ed up and notated my account with the **** up.
Thank you for the replies. I am not that techy I only know how to follow instructions lol. I can't cancel now, but will be sending them back the mytouch and will be giving them a phone call and telling them they can take the offer and stick it where the sun don't shine! (maybe in not in those exact words, but I will make sure they get the point.) I can't believe how they are not taking care of there customers. This is so frustrating, especially with all the problems that have arose with this phone. I had one Rep tell me flat out "sorry your stuck with it" wtf!? I love this phone. I don't want an excuse to get a sensation or anything like that. I just want it to work damnitt!

Tell them you want $120 and the MT4g and it's a fair deal
Even the Galaxy S 4G would have been a better deal....
If you want a mytouch, ask for the upcoming mytouch slide, not the mytouch 4g cr4p.
From a g2x yes its a major downgrade.
Having a mt4g side by side with the x the screen is inferior....majorly inferior. Colors are nowhere near as vivid when compared to the x. Hardware wise.....well battery life is good when rooted and running a good rom. My wife uses it and gets easily all day and she's a realestate agent and emails and calls galore she comes home with 35-50% battery every day. At charge time at night she's down to maybe 25% if she plays on it.
The hardware buttons are nice but come loose after a bit. I do miss trackpad tho.
Regardless its a serious downgrade and should not have been accepted by you.
ITS ALL WONKY!!!
Dayum homie, you got sucker punched on this one. You just traded your brand new Lexus for a last year model Toyota!

ROFL...couldn't have said it better.
Anyway, yeah...don't let this stand.
I just got off the phone with customer care. This is my 3rd phone in a week. Each one with different problems. (Dim screen, buzzing earpiece speaker, dust in the FFC, etc) I think my total is 5 different MT4G's...
They tried to send me some piece of crap 3g phone as a replacement. After blowing the whistle on that scam...
They are sending me an LG G2x.

NO!!!...STOP!!!
The LG G2x is buggy as hell!!!
TMO and LG are promising an update to GB to fix ALL the issues....but haven't released it yet.
I have both the LG G2x and MT4G....MT4G is virtually flawless....I love it.
I would wait for the GB release on the LG before jumping in.
As of today with the G2x, you will be dealing with:
1.) Multiple random reboots
2.) Bluetooth connectivity issues
3.) Hung operating system (i.e. - phone will freeze and you will need to pull the battery to recover)
4.) Hot running battery and short Battery life
5.) Wifi connectivity issues
6.) Screen light bleed
7.) etc, etc, etc...this is what I have so far...don't know about everyone else.
I would wait for the GB released version...patience is a virtue, and GB on LG will prevent you from from throwing the phone out the window from the top of a 30 story building.

I'd go with probably one of the 2 already mentioned: evo3d or nexus s 4g...I actually prefer the nexus s aesthetically, but after everything I've heard about Samsung android phones, I'd probably go with the evo3d...can't beat HTC when it comes to solid builds.
To the OP, good luck with your new phone. I for one am going with the same MT4G for 5 months and couldn't be happier. I did initially have to trade it ONCE to get a 'good' screen at the very beginning, so I understand the frustration of having to exchange it when you just want a solid phone...but it's so worth it when you do get that good unit.
I've gone through my share of phones in the past year and the MT4G has treated me right from day one, a good friend of mine is on the Evo 3D and loving it all day, (Reported that it in fact has been rooted) but HTC is to release the bootloader soon anyways but good job in the exploit.
The phones I've found to have the least amount of issues so far was the SideKick 4G, MT4G, G2 but obviously found what I was happy with here. Sorry to hear you had such a hard time with the phone as the devs here are great at their work and take pride in what they do, I've been around and so far I have no complaints on either end here.
Good luck on what ever you choose, sometimes you have to break a few screens before you find one your less apt to whip against the wall or out the car.
My gf has the evo 3d and ive never been a fan of the evo screens(4g and 3d) compared to a good screen mt4g, The evos felt like looking at my old washed out screen mt4g. I hope the galaxy s2 comes out soon. Id rather get that

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I went through four different boxes of the G2x at my T-Mobile store (my local store has awesome reps, lol). Every last one of them had horrible screen bleed in two or three corners.
My MT4G, which is like the effin' magical unicorn of MT4Gs (good screen, perfect power button, no creaky buttons, OCs and UVs like a champ), is almost AMOLED-like in the dark on a black screen. Not even the slightest hint of screen bleed even in a pitch-black room.
Which is a shame. I really wanted to bump up my screen size, and the G2x is a sweet device on paper, but sadly so many manufacturing issues with this one...
Guess I'll just wait for the SGSII or whatever else T-Mobile gets. Sensation's a bust with its locked bootloader.
My MT4G has been the best phone I've had - I have the good screen and none of the issues, nothing. I really hate to part with this phone in favor of Sensation, and already having second thoughts about it. I'll probably end up keeping it
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I have the good everything except the eMMC chip. I hope it doesn't go out on me. I really do not want to play return-roulette with T-Mobile. I really love my Glacier, but I would trade/sell it for a Nexus S in a heartbeat if the Nexus S had an sdcard slot.
Actually, I would have just bought the Nexus S to begin with... lol

Yeah - they did that for me too. The G2x was so bad, I called yesterday and they are overnighting me another MT4G. Good luck!
People need to be banned for making threads like this. News flash. NOBODY CARES IF YOU GOT A DIFFERENT PHONE. Just go and call it a day.
I had good experience with my G2x until it rebooted once a day after about a month, I then game it up for the sensation and loved it.
Until I realized I cant foking get wifi in landscape. Ive had 3 already and all have the issue. The 2 different type of screens suck, it has a screen issue, etc.
Basically im finding out that all phones have issues, it just depends on the issues your willing to deal with. ME, Id personally rather see a lil bleed and have a reboot once a day then have wifi Crap and Unreliable. In the next room it dies covering it.
DAAAAAAMN. are the G2xs good yet? Have they been in stock again? Im thinking about exchanging the sensation 3 more times online and seeing if they can give me back a new g2x, because I know that the sensations I recieve will still have this issue.
Im also wondering if those that dont just have a good router N, and I got G, so maybe thats why theres is ok and mine dies completely.
ITS TRUE, THE GRASS ISNT ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE. THAT AND NO DAMN ROOOOOOOOOOOOOT. I DIDNT THINK HTC WOULD DRAG THIS LONG. BUT I THINK THIS PHONE IS WIFI DEFECTED AND IS WORSE THAN ANYTHING THE G2X HAS.

Selling my G2X and keeping my problem free Sensation. My G2X doesn't have a scratch on it, has never rebooted, has a decent battery (not quite as good as my Sensation) and only has minor screen bleed but in my opinion doesn't touch the color or clarity of my Sensation.
Make me a offer I can't refuse.

Wow
I hit up Youtube and there are tons of Sensation issue videos. Doubt any of those are repairable via software.
G2x + CM7 = heaven. This phone is blazing fast.
What kind of screen issues are you having with the Sensation? I might be interested in trading for my G2X straight up. Mine is relatively problem free. One time I had an issue with my GPS not getting a fix but a reboot fixed the problem. I've never had a single reboot and there is minimal screen bleed.
Welcome back
Great to have you back to the G2x side of the house. I just got into Droid after trading my iPhone4 on Craigslist for the G2x and the dude threw in 150 cash. Definately check CL.
Have you thought about joining the dark force? If you sold the Sensation the difference between it and the SGS2 would be about $150. Pretty much unlimited everything on AT&T is about $82 (plus tax) a month. If you're stuck with an ETF than I'm guessing it would be too pricey to switch. Just something else to ponder.
I am glad I got a less trouble unit and keeping it. I was reluctant to get Sensation after I tested it.
It seems that HTC phones have wifi reception problem from my touch pro 2, nexus one, and to mytouch 4. They have hard time to get signal from upstairs.
this thread has convinced me to pull my g2x off of clist. Kudos sir.. i shall be patient for either cynogen to get a2dp or for the fix/update from LG sometime before i die.
does anyone have an opinion on how the galaxy s stacks up to the g2x? I was giving that some SERIOUS thought.
Hi everyone I heard sensation have so much problems but idk what problems or how bad. Currently I have HTC panache with 2.3.3 out of box in Canada which is same as mytouch 4g . Is it worth upgrade cause I can return my phone . I got it less than week ago. I had LG optimus 2x for 3 days so many random shutoffs so return that one. Please share your taughts.
I just bought mine and to be honest it's using an "immature" operating system.
With that said,it has the goods to really perform once the OS is wrung out.
TBH,my phone for the last five years has been an Audiovox PPC 6600.
It's been as solid as a rock.
I was really reluctant to change as the phone has done everything I needed.
With that said,I'm also a hardware freak...new phones...oh yeah.
I looked at the Atrix,but there was too many things about it that gave me pause.
This one didn't,so I bought it.....and I don't regret it.
There will probably be better phones in the near future,but for the money,this one's going to be tough to beat.....it's very versatile.
Great device with the potential to be the best damn Android phone in existence if HTC would just get off their asses and s-off the mofo...

if you really have to ask sombody should you buy it then you must not really want it, cause people can tell you anything doesnt mean they made the right choice for you wether yes or no, its your own thoughts on the phone go to your local dealer and check it out for your self no one can give you the best answer but your self
I am currently on my fourth Sensation with a 5th one to arrive in 3 days. All have had random rebooting-overheating- screen creaking(gets worse as time goes by)volume that just goes so low(randomly) you cannot hear it(when settings are on max) dour battery life, losing all signal at times and having to reboot to get a signal-wifi grip issue AND LOCKED BOATLOADER and the list goes on. If I had it to do over again I would not have ordered one in the first place. The phone does have enormous potential but its like the sport scene-so many athletes with enormous potential that never are heard from again or just never make it to the bigs. Having said all of this I do like the phone(it feels great in my hand) but no updates from HTC(very little if any word about if and when) and issues that seem to accumulating more and more everyday, make me quite hesitant to recommend this phone. I know others will state just the opposite and I am sure that is their experience. I can only share what my experience is and has been.
Hey guys I'm looking into buying a sensation today and wanted to know what things to look for when checking the phone out. And if there is something wrong how much of a hassle is it to get a replacement?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
The answer is simple. Don't go looking for anything, just get it and enjoy it. Don't believe all of the issues here as we all exaggerate. Just like any device forum people don't talk about how well there device works, but when one small thing comes up on one device out of millions people tend to freak out. The only reason people are nit-picking this device apart is because we don't have root. Without root the only thing we can do is talk about the weather, and turn specs of tiny dust into a major castrophe. My sister just got this phone last week and she loves it. She didn't say "Hey the screen is AUO and not a Sharp", she didn't say "the wifi signal drops when I bear hug it". Nope, she loves it and said it's the best phone she ever had, and I agree with her.
Don't put it under a microscope and just enjoy it. If your phone is defective you can always exchange it.
Okay thank you for the response. I will try to do that

That's the reason why the OP is posting this thread. He/she wants to avoid the hassle of exchanging the phone after setting up and wants to check the device ASAP so he can exchange it immediately if there's a defect
There are miniscule differences between devices. Don't make too big a deal out of it. Just make sure that you are ok with anything you buy.

Can you think of any defects that are visible to the naked eye right out of the box? Dust maybe? The way I see it, if he opens the box and likes his Sensation, then let him just enjoy it. If his phone is defective he's going to find out one way or another. If he opens the box and pulls out a magnifying glass he'll find dust. If he installs the terminal emulator he's going to obsess about having a certain screen. If he pulls out a thermometer he's going to worry about heat. I'm just advising him to do what I did. There's too many people here panicking about too many little things. Every single one of my phones has had one issue or another.
Yeah once again I'm looking for anything thats actually an issue. Not a non-issue issue. Anything worth returning it from I may be buying it from an individual rather than a company so I just need to know if it is defective what are my options and such? Thanks for the input guys.
