To begin im not rooted or unlocked and ive read through the stickies and pages at "solutions" but i gotta say this is the worst phone ive ever owned. I figured it would be at least on par with my old g2 or mt4g but they would smoke this paperweight on edge network. Ive factory reset, used task killer, rebooted, called tech support, and im about ready to committ cellular homicide and mail it back piece by piece. I know im not the only one here....who else wants to vent some steam by sharing a nightmare?

Um it would quite help if you were to explain the reasons why you don't like this phone? And it would also really help if you didn't judge this phone stock because when its on the stock rom, its a piece of sh*t. I almost ran over this thing.

It shouldnt have to be rooted to compete with the g2 or mt4g...this beat the iphone 4 in a speed test. This thing lags on every scroll and takes a good 10-15 sec to open anything you touch. This isnt the first one ive experience this with either. Tmobile hyped this up like its hot sh** but its just cold diahrea

If you are clearly having issues why not custom rom it? I really don't understand why are you refusing to do something that has SOO MANY benefits and zero disadvantages. Sounds like lazyness to me. Shouldn't even bother with xda if you won't even root the phone

My wife and I both got the SGS4G at the same time she had all of the same complaints and eventually caved in and got a different phone. I on the other hand came to XDA and got help and now I am perfectly happy with the phone. the Vibrant had all of the same issues and its a software problem form Samsung. I loaded a custom ROM and all of the issues I had are gone. the great thing about software is that it can be fixed. Hardware issues are another story of which this phone has none that I have found. It is possible to revert back to stock firmware and software so that its like you never did anything if you want to sell the phone later. So this is not the place to vent about how crappy your stock phone is it is the place to come and load the software needed to fix it.
I'm.with you... I miss my mytouch 4g. Such an awesome phone. So many roms. So fast.

Honestly this is like if you bought a Ferrari and it had a rev limiter set at 2k with the top speed limited to 10mph but refused to turn off the limiters. The limiters are clearly there and you can clearly turn them off but you refuse to and instead of fixing the issue, you complain saying that you shouldnt have to turn them off and your ford fiesta is faster.

i think ur saying stock=crap rooted=good....so you basically agree with me so far...we both hate it stock and when my pc is back up n running ill root and update my review when i got custom rom. But as it stands im at 1ghz slow as hell. And its like i said before i dont want to buy a phone depending on root in order to make it function like its supposed to. If the cpu acted like it was at 1ghz i wouldnt be slammin this p o s.

just a note you dont ever need a pc anyomre to cough root a phone and flash a diffrent rom at all all yuo need is root explorer and to start off the recovery from krylons cwm final and then the update.zip and then the custom rom or a few of them push the recovery record reboot install zip via update gets u to cwm and then install new rom never once haveing to touch a pc
and if your on froyo u can use the market and get root theres apps that work for that

You came here with the sole purpose of complaining about the phone and not showing any interest about doing anything about it. If you want to complain about how bad this phone is try doing it on the T-Mobile forums so at least people who are thinking about buying the phone might be persuaded against it. I fell into it by commenting in the first place and I overlooked the first rule of the internet...Don't feed the trolls.

Part Four, is that you?
Anyways, I've actually played with my cousin's MT4G (3 cousins have that phone). I honestly wouldn't say that the SGS4G falls too far behind it.
My cousins always complain about the battery life, since they can't even get half a day's worth with the screen at the lowest setting. On the other hand, the SGS4G put up excellent battery life since I got it. I ran it with its first brightness setting and easily got a full day's use out of it.
Speaking of the screen, you can't deny that this screen is quite beautiful.
As for the stock speed of the phone, I kinda have to agree that the MT4G is slightly better. It's not ridiculously faster, but it is faster by a hair. On a more interesting note, my friends had a rooted G2 which lagged more than my stock SGS4G.

Ill give you the screen, it is beautifull and that was a big selling point .my battery drains fast and charges slow ive downloaded maybe a couple apps, my display takes 99% of my battery and its at half power if you can believe that.

But don't stay on a froyo rom. I didn't really like those either. The big difference is when you start using a gingerbread rom which you will need a PC for to flash the bootloaders.

I have two mytouch 4gs. The screen on that phone blows away the sgs4g. The only reason I don't use it is because the wife and daughter have taken them over and stuck me with this thing.
Mytouch4g running Faux123's AOSP rom gets well over a day with heavy usage. About the same as CM.
I like the sgs4g.... its what I'm stuck with for now... but its no where near what the mt4g has to offer.
Better camera. Flash. Better screen. Better wifi.
And AOSP.
This phone with every tweak and rom doesn't come close to the mt4g.
Sorry. But its true.

No, its a fact that people complain far more than they compliment. Those enjoying their phones are the silent majority.
I'm going from my droid which is running an under volt kernel and OCed to 1000 with CM5 (could be wrong on the version of CM, can't remember). Can't wait for CM7 on this phone.
The only issue I have is minor light bleed, but its so minor I wouldn't imagine returning the phone.
I personally think a lot of people complain too damn much.

Praying for a rainstorm of developers!
I think it would be a mistake for anyone to jump ship unless they just really wanted something else. The G2x has an awesome screen (despite screen bleed), great hardware, and great form factor. The only thing wrong with it is software related, which is fixable. You can't fix poor hardware, which some newer phones do have.

CM7 already has the battery driver ironed out and a pretty stable release of 2.3.4. The phone itself is awesome and I'm loving the Tegra games.
I think I would be seriously disappointed if I were to switch to another phone right now.
I think my next phone won't be until Tegra 3's are out.

Pretty hard to brick, great phone for the price. Cwm makes easy nandroid and allows you to select how you want it saved. Sods are almost non-existent anymore. On ICS I don't think there is any sods. But I've been running test kernels for a week now for jellybean based ROMs and I think there's light at the end of the tunnel. All in all get it if you can't afford an s3. I personally like it better than the s3 because of the size.

I just checked at best buy and they currently have the s3 at 150 with 2 year agreement my question is have you guys ever tried buying through best buy? Does your plan change in any way after you guys have done this? Tmobile always tries to make it impossible for their customers that's why I ask these things. I see it as a good investment worse comes to worse down the line I can just opt out and pay 200 penalty and I would still have my s3.

The phone gets quite hot during almost anything. Also is no where near as snappy as my rooted inspire (1.0 ghz single core with less than 1 gb ram). This phone is awesome as far as opening more draining apps like facebook.
I wouldn't think that rooting is needed to be quicker than a 2.5 year old phone...
At this point im considering trading it in for a gs3 or htc one....

If it's getting very hot with little usage then I'd exchange it for another.
Also, an update was released today that pretty much solved the lag issues..
Mine got pretty warm last night while playing a simple solitaire game...
It was also eating battery pretty fast.
I rebooted it and it seemed to go away.

There is probably something wrong with your phone and the next one. Bad luck I guess. It never gets hot on normal use for me. The only time it gets hot for me is when playing high end games.

mine gets stupid hot for the smallest things I surf the web for about five mins and you cant even put up to your ear to make a call TO HOT.. I returned it and got it exchanged and that device is also getting way to hot. I might just return the GS4 seems like a big issue out there I googled the problem and see that most people are having the issue. IDK 7 more days and I.m stuck with it... any other phone would be a downgrade.

Unless you dont mind being mocked for talking on a tablet I would avoid any phone larger than the s4. The note two has its place and it to me is only worthwhile if you carry a purse.... it's a great device but not practical in my opinion, I mean how do you carry that thing?

In my pocket never had an issue fits perfectly. As far as what others think about it don't matter to me.

I wish I wasnt as affected but I hate when ppl comment on how large my phone is...and I think its because I agree and wish it was smaller. A 4.5 or so with the the same build as this s4 would be mich nicer. And by that I mean a screen that efficiently uses the face of the phone.
Its really tough to determine what is the he perfect size screen and I think over time we will become more tolerant of the pocket consumption. I mean look at the inspire or other older 4.2...it was huge for its time but now its really not considered that anymore.
With that said for the time being I think 4.5 with the smallest possible chassis would be the best.

Not mine. I am in LTE or 3G all day and my phone does not get hot in the least.
Hey everyone! Most of you won't remember me, but I am back!
My kernel thread will be beyond repair to try and fix all the broken/dead links.
But....I have a CRAP TON of kernels and ROMs for the G2x stored on my laptop. Basically everything CM7 related kernels and ROMs, and some CM9 kernels and ROMs.
If there is something your in need of, let me know and I'll get it uploaded for you to download.
I'm still rocking the G2x for a little longer so I'll try to help anyway I can.
EDIT: Just did some checking on my kernel thread, seems the only dead links are Mazout360's. I can upload and share the Mazout kernels I have, although I believe the highest I have is v323OC but I'll fix up the kernel thread with new links since the rest are working.
Still, if there is something you need, contact me.
I remember!!! Missed ya man. Hope things are good. Glad you're back!!

Things are much, much better now.
Glad to see someone I know is still around here!
I see we are at the same point as when I left like 7 months ago with this phone. That's sad. I'm still using vanilla CM7, what's funny is my G2x still puts some of my friends pre-paid ICS android phones to shame in speed/camera/gaming etc. lol
Glad things are looking up bro! After you disappeared a lot of the other gurus started fading out also to other forums and better phones. It's very sad about the dev issues man =( After you got me rolling with CM7 I became a flash-addict. I've flashed every ROM I could find for this device. Even made a few ports for personal use but none were that great. I have used every ICS hackfest and have tried most of the jelly bean hack fests.....if it wasn't for the damn ril wakelock the JB hackfests would be awesome. But they average around 4-5 hours of battery life and that's just awful lol. I'm currently on eaglesblood 4.0.4 but always have a CM7 nandroid handy whenever I feel like going to back. Picking up the Nexus 5 in a few weeks, you decide on your next rig yet?

Lol Im prob going to be stuck with this G2x for a bit longer, no money for an upgrade.
If I did pick something, I'd be looking at the LG G2, it's sweet, and being a non-nVidia device this time will make custom modding alot better as there's no proprietary drivers involved like with the G2x.
G2 is really sweet....but there doesn't seem to be a lot of development for it right now which is making me lean toward the nexus 5

It will in due time. It just came out not too long ago.
If development picks up I might sway that way...Hopefully LG doesn't abandon it like they did this device though

I only partially blame LG for the lack of development, nVidia played a huge role in the G2x's demise as well. The G2 has a Snapdragon and from what I've read, development on a Snapdragon device is pretty good on the mod scene.
I can only hope. But like I said, I have no money so I'll prob get stuck with an older model like the HTC One. Whatever Tmo is offering for free or discount on a plan renewal.

T-Mobile is offering nexus 5's for $0 down and like $17 a month. I think I put up $70 or so for this thing. Actually I think they have this deal on all galaxy devices right now too. Anyway great to see you back dude and glad to hear things are better for you! My kid killed my g2x so I finally decided to upgrade.
Oh and Merry Christmas!

I do. It is amazing! And there is so much development for it I can't keep up with all of it. Literally I can't finish reading one rom thread before the next one pops up with an update. I haven't slept in weeks... Lol
