My experience leaving the great G2x for the Sensation

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15041835#post15041835
Enjoy the read. I was once on the fence to which is better and more stable.
Now its no second guessing after a weeks of use with the sensation which is better.
Honest review I guess. I personally think you should have waited or flashed CM7 before jumping ship. You'd be much happier with the more powerful G2x with a fully working rom.
CM7 FTW!
Stop. There are enough stupid threads clogging up the forum without another kid telling us about how great the buggy, slow, locked sensation is. Just get on with your life already.

wow, you know what roms I flashed? lol I did man. CM7 was nice, but buggy. I had a n1 with CM 6 nightlies and they were much better.
Good luck with the G2x. Im just happy I gave the sensation a try cause I was all about cm7 and what your saying....

lol @ kid.. lol this kid served your country. If you live in USA that is... P.S. not a kid. 28
Dont get mad. I just wanted to share my experience cause I was a die hard g2x fan here for 2 months almost.
Don't start with the patriotic crap...you volunteered no one forced you into the military

I honestly think the G2x is better all around. Better screen, processor, Rootable, etc.
The G2x doesn't even have gingerbread yet. It will be just pure awesomeness then.
I do respect your decision and wish you well with your Sensation.
Here is a link to my impressions of the Sensation

Development on this phone will explode once we get gingerbread.
We already got a bunch of developers and they are only waiting.

As I always say to those that serve. Thank you very much. My family and I appreciate your hard work and dedication keeping us safe.
That being said, I still am sick of these type of threads.
I remember 28. Enjoy it. 40 is closer than you believe.

give some respect. We do so because people like you don't have balls big enough. give some damn respect and be thankful for the dirt beneath your shoes.
by joining we can be patriotic. by being forced - trust me you won't be. Your logic is null

I sure hope GB fixes a lot of the issues and that it comes out soon. The g2x is a really really nice device, but those damn bugs. I know the sensation has them too but not nearly as wide spread.
I really would have liked to keep the g2x. hell if they release a good g2x when back in stock. Ill pick up another.
I think the dust under the glass bothers you more than you think. The paragraph you wrote describing it is longer than everything else

I'm from Hawaii and I have more friends and family then I can count on my fingers and toes who has/are serving in the military. Some who have been on multiple deployments to Afghan and Iraq. And yet none of them have ever said or pulled the "I served your country so give some respect." #justsaying
anyways good luck with the sensation.
now can we please stop cluttering the G2X FORUM with sensation crap! Keep that in the sensation forum.

Polite Request

Hello everyone, I'm Indirect and while most of you have no idea who I am, I was politely asked to come help you all out for development towards downgrade / s-off on your devices. Now, as much as I would LOVE to help, I can only do so much without the actual device. I know this sounds like mooching, annoying, etc that some other "developers" do to try and gain attention but I'm sure you can see that I've made progress in just a few short hours as you can see here So I would like to now ask the community I'm trying to help if they would be willing to help me out as well and have my job be just a bit easier. I own multiple devices that I work on (Evo View 4G tablet, Nook Tablet, Nexus S 4G) and I develop for the evo shift when I can get around to it, but since I am not 18 and unemployed, I can't really go out and just throw down cash for a mytouch. Developing is essentially my career, balance that with school and my life gets hectic. So, if you read on, you will see how much I'm working towards.
What I need vs What I have:
Bought a device and it had a board failure within 2 hours... -- edit: RMA'd this one
New device, killed that one and since it has a void sticker broken and I'd rather not send it to HTC for moral reasons, I want to have it JTAG'd.
Well guys. I bricked 2 MT4GS while helping test s-off. Looks like I need to RMA one and JTAG the other. What do I need? Well, it cost 40$ + shipping. I can eat the shipping costs, but I can't crap out 40$. .__. So, any help is appreciated. OP has been updated with this post as well as a total amount vs what I need.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What I need vs what I have for JTAG:
10$ / 60$
^ Donate button
Edit: Switched links. Found a cheaper one for 220~
This is the device that I am wanting to buy because it's the cheapest one on ebay, has free shipping, and available for buy it now. So if you want to help, just click the donate button and I'll save up for it. I would really prefer to get this thing bought as soon as possible so I can get cracking on that bootloader.
hi, it's nice to see someone giving our device some attention
btw, i have a side question: do you have kernel dev experience too?

I know some stuff about the kernel, but not atm enough to get a custom kernel up and running. Also guys, I seriously only have 1$ to my name, pretty sure it won't be enough. Lol.
This would be fantastic - I was working with this character last night in IRC and he's got the enthusiasm necessary backed up by the knowledge we need to get in our corner of XDA.
People are complaining from time to time about the anemic development here in the MT4GS forums, well, here is a way of increasing that dev.
If people aren't interested or able in picking up the torch themselves to get involved in development, then helping someone like this get a device in their hands will help us all out.
Normally i'm not such a fan of this but this is the real deal - we get a device in his hands and we WILL see more dev around here.
Look at the progress he's already helped us make towards the S-OFF issue - we got past getting the misc.version put in place and unraveled another layer of the issue, now we are stuck on hboot being our block.
Not bad for someone without a physical device in their hands, eh? Imagine what he could help us with not having to work proxy through one of us...

Our phone is a great piece of hardware, and the good ppl on this forum have built great software to match it.

New phone to buy ?

Hey guys I currently have a nexus s phone atm and its pretty good and fast although I've had it for about a year now and I'm looking to get a new phone as I'm starting university in a week. I'm in England if that helps and I want a good powerful phone with a good battery life on it I don't want to go on contract and I'm looking to pay anywhere under £400 what phone would you guys suggest I get that the best choice ? I've been kind of thinking galaxy nexus.

Online as well. I just got a Note 2.. in the middle of a small battle to be able to get the $50 gift card cause I ordered too early. Just like Deliberate. But because they just introduced this offer on Sunday, and the rep told me I would be able to get it when I ordered over the phone on Sunday.. I might be able to get it.
If you go online and reserve the $50 gift card then you can wait till after the tenth and order a phone.
All in all, I got the Note 2 for $150

You have to reserve the gift card before the 9th. Idk how long the $100 off thing will last. Probably just until the reservation period for the gift card is over, which is tomorrow.
Cheers bud! Thanks for everything!
Thanks OP, enjoy your new device.
