Does anyone elses tbolt click a little when pushing on the sides of the phone, the edge around the screen? Mine clicks and creaks like its sticking to glue or something but not staying stuck... should i exchange it?
Do you have the extended battery?
no phones stock i just got it yesterday, hasnt been droped bumped anything, and it creaks if i press down on the screen when its laying flat on a desk.
Mine does that right around the volume rocker. I'm not worrying about that or the slight light leak from the bottom. It's not rebooting itself, so I'll see how it goes.
Yes, exchange it!! I just went through that with one. Sometimes it wouldn't do it, like when it was hot and when I tried to replicate the issue in the store I couldn't so they wouldn't give me a new one. Finally I put it back in the box for a day and it started popping again. It was like the screen was loose or something.

Seems like the tbolt has major software and few hardware issues. I'm glad I got the Mytouch 4G instead.

How does that help the OP? Or did you just want to do a MyTouch 4G ad? Lol Before you go blowing MyTouch's horn, check this out...http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/05/t-mobile-mytouch-4g-review/.
My Thunderbolt only creaked when I bought the extended case. Exchanged it for another one and it stopped creaking. Three days later it was creaking again. If I put my regular case back on, no creaking! I've learned to put up with it.

Thanks for the input, im going to head into the verizon store when i have time on monday. I can easily replicate it because it does it i would say 90% of the time, and even if i cant replicate the screen part, the edges all around the screen do it constantly. I got a lemon

Wouldn't hurt to show it to them. My thing is just that there seem to be a lot of phones with rebooting issues that I don't think they are exchanging, asking customers to wait for the update that is supposed to fix it...
Just tried mine again and now it isn't clicking...
Maybe make sure your battery cover is properly on all the way around. HTC really could make better battery covers.
I got a free G2x from a buddy. phone's water damage stickers are red but he cant remember it ever getting soaked in water. He found the phone dead and then we noticed the stickers. the phone wont turn on and since I know LG or T-Mobile wont exchange it I figured id try to repair it myself. A friend told me that I should open it and clean the corrosion with some rubbing alcohol but I cant find any help online? Has anybody tried to do that to G2x or any phone for that matter? Any help would be appreciated
The phone is most likely dead..
I know I'm going to hear some **** for what I'm about to say but when has that ever stopped me.
I'm not going to give you specifics or tell you what I would do but those water damage indicators can be replaced. You can find them multiple places online. After you replace them, its up to you to decide what to do.
Have a good day.

Yup, that's how I imagined the comments would look like. I'm just glad you beat them to it.
By the way, I'm glad I kept the G2X. Right now I'm browsing the XDA forum and playing Riptide at the same time. I do have to pause the game every once in a while though.

lol I know right... That riptide is the ****. Graphics are amazing on that game. I really think the tegra is a great cpu/gpu combo. Honestly looking at the photon @ 1ghz tegra and a skin vs the htc 3d and its 1.2 snapdragon with a skin, the photon just seems to out perform it in anything.
You could shed more light as you got rid of sense on the sensation. So both stock say bump the tegra to 1.2ghz, which one performs the best? At the same clock speed?

If you'd like to take the honest way out, there is a complete photo disassembly guide here.
Riptide is way cool on my 55" Sony. I gotta get a longer HDMI cable though, 6 foot ain't long enough.
P.S. Anyone who would receive a damaged phone for free then conceal the damage and attempt to return the phone for a new one is a thief pure and simple. If there were any justice at all those actions would result in prosecution and incarceration.
Perhaps you should make your way to a public square where you can smash the windows out of a T-Mobile store and just take whatever you want. After all, those rich bastards deserve it don't they?
We are doomed.

Not to be an ass, but isn't LG a thief? They sold us a phone with software that is horrible. Some of us who rely on our phones for simple task such as an alarm are late for work when the phone freezes. T-Mobile sold most of us a so called unlimited plan, but we get data throttled. T-Mobile claims 21+mbps, but no one has seen speeds anywhere close to that. I guess everyone is a thief. To each his own.

I agree, T-Mo has been less than honest with us. They should suffer the consequences of that breach of trust.
Not only will stealing from T-Mo make it harder and more expensive on the rest of us, but also the simple truth is... two wrongs don't make a right.

You're definitely right about two wrongs don't make it right, but I highly doubt that T-Mobile will buckle down that much on phones getting replaced especially since they know that the G2x has ton of software issues. The best thing T-Mobile and LG can do is to just make it right. It wasn't for the devs on XDA then we'd be ass'd out.

All Tmobile does is looks at the sticker under the battery needed for a swap for a refurb. They all get thrown in a bunch and sent back to LG.
As long as it is visibly not RED, you'll be fine.
Sad part is one of us will probably end up with it, lol.
Called tmobile since this last replacements screen was way horrible the entire top of the screen was unstuck causing loads of screen bleed.
I wont be able to made little mods for the G2x anymore and was really hoping on porting the sense wallpaper to the tegra chipset but its not happening now.
They told me a replacement cannot be give for the G2x but a Sensation is a compatible match and was given to me as a "Force replacement" according to te supervisor.
I was pissed that this was done and hopefully i get the chance to buy a new G2x on craigslist
Goodbye beautiful G2x section! Hopefully the sensation is not as big of crap as people say it is.

After 3 tmobiles return policy is a new phone not a warranty replacement. Not sure if you're dealing with them on the phone but go into a store. Also don't use the screen issues as reason for return they aren't suppose to be doing any returns/exchange for that. If you have GPS/reboot /sleep of death issues they can warranty exchange 3 times if still an issue they are to give a new phone no refurbs. That's from my store manager here locally. I'm waiting on warranty replacement #2 the first one was so bad at sleep of death I shipped it back the same day and kept my original that reboots several times. At least for the majority of tbw time it comes back on.

There is now way 10 out 10 were bad. The odds against that are astronomical. I am surprised T-Mobile didn't shut you down after two or three. I think there is some user error involved here. Enjoy your Sensation.
What better way to start a 12 hour shift than dropping your phone a couple of inches only to have it land on the one spot the case isn't protecting. Now the left side of the tough as nails gorilla glass looks like my first generation iPhone did after I had thrown it out of a moving vehicle.
As much as I love my infuse I think after staring at the crack for 12 hours ill be lucky if I remember to pull my SD card out before it has the same fate. So come first pay check galaxy S2 Skyrocket or swtich to Verizon for the nexus.
Random question anyone know if the att unlimited 4g that I have now will still be unlimited if I change to LTE?

Not sure about the data plan, but everywhere I've looked people are against the skyrocket. I don't know the problems off the top of my head, but everybody says go with the original s2 attain. I'm sure if you're running stock software you'd be fine, but the attain has way more dev support.

as for upgrades skyrocket isn't bad just not the strongest development there, however rumor is the galaxy note should be here soon! Suggestion might be to grab a skyrocket for 29 days to test out Att's lte if its in you're area and hope the note shows up in your first 30 days.
Edit: and yes if you have unlimited it would follow you to an lte device.... but than there's the throttling :-(

From what little research I've done it seems it would cost more to repair the screen than what i paid for it. So time to move on to a new phone and get a better case for it. Either wait to see what att comes up with the next couple of months or be impatient and get the galaxy nexus.

nexus specs are pretty standard, its no sgs2 for sure but neither is the infuse. atleast the nexus will get long term updates and always have the newest android version. you don't get that with Samsung.
to each there own I guess. I have no issue with the 5mp camera or 1ghz processor nor the pentile matrix display, I turn the MP down on all my phones to save space. no phone can take good 8mp pics. the iPhone 4s may take better 8mp pics but better than bad doesn't mean good. hell I'd like to have a nexus1 just cuz I like the illuminated track ball and poketable size.

When I'm on speaker phone there is a really bad echo for the other person.

I'm having the same problem. Also seeking advice.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
I looked into this a while ago and found out the echo problem was primarily caused by the back cover. If you remove the back cover, the problem goes away. I tried to see if I couldn't fix it by placing some tissue paper between the phone and the back cover such that the speaker and the mic were isolated.nothing really worked all that great. note that I don't really know any of the basics of acoustics or sound isolation, I was just trying out a half witted idea. maybe someone with more knowledge can figure this out? I solved my problem by getting a cheap Bluetooth headset, but still think it would be great if there was a simple diy fix.

I found that I can Get quasi speakerphone capability by cranking up the volume on the earpiece. That way I can hold the phone a few inches away from my ear. But that's as good as it gets.
Is there a way to further push up the volume on the earpiece?
I was able to fix the issue using a small rubber band. I basically creating a small rubber gasket that makes sure the sound is pushed out instead of down the back cover and into the mic. It was trial and error, but it works!

The blue rubber band from a thing of cilantro worked, but if you see the last picture, it was too bulky and I couldn't close the cover tight. You can pretty much get creative and make it work. Just make sure the sound is sealed to go out of the intended slots.

Very helpful! Thanks!
Off to Walmart to find the sticky pads.

I hope it works for you! I did it to both my wife's and my phone and called several people to confirm it not echoing. I also hope Walmart has those feet as I bought them years ago when we had first moved and just recently found them in a junk drawer.

It was a no go. I am getting a replacement from sprint because my search button went out so hopefully the new (refurb) doesn't have the speaker phone problem.
