So I lost a grip on my phone today and in my attempt to catch my phone from an otherwise normal drop that wouldn't of done a thing to it except raise my heart rate, i slapped it incredibly hard face down onto the ground and completely shattered the screen. LCD still worked fine, gorilla glass- not so much. Called the insurance claims and they dont have any mytouch 4g's in stock so they offered a Sensation or the 4g slide to me for the same cost. Went with the Sensation cuz I hate those slide out keyboards. I can't type for crap with the phone sideways for some reason. Sensation looks pretty bada$$. Anyone used both? I was really sad because my phone was a beast rooted and such. But it seems the Sensation is quite the beast itself and now I'm pretty excited.

Sensation is a pretty powerful device, and ICS is already in the works for it.
By any chance, can you sell me your mt4g?

Second dibbs on broke phone.
I wanted the sensation till I went over to their forums and saw everyone complaining about dust under the screen. I would have pushed for a replacement MT4g

Possibly. I didnt really ask if I was supposed to send the phone back for the insurance claim or what. I've never had insurance on a phone before. The Trackpad is kinda messed up too just so you know. It works but barely. Feels kinda like its stuck down. But if you press it hard it does work. PM me an offer and I'll let you know in a few days when I find out the details about the new phone.

Ya I saw the issue with the dust under the screen. Thing is, my mytouch4g has the same issue. Top left corner of the screen you can see it. And I plan on getting the otterbox asap for this one. Don't feel like forking out any dough for another phone until a quad core comes out.

It was an insurance claim through Assurion. I believe thats the name of the company tmobile goes through. They make you pay a deductable of $130. Kinda sucks but better than paying the ridiculous price I woulda paid since I don't have an upgrade anytime soon. I would have had to pay that amount whether I waited for them to get a mytouch in stock or if I got the sensation or the mytouch4g slide.

I have the Sensation as well. The phone is pretty slick once you get it rooted and such. The dust issue is hit and miss just like any phone. I recommend it. Its going to be a powerful phone for along time since Google wont release another version of Android for awhile that could take better advantage of more cpu cores. I dunno, I like mine alot.
Did you have to send your phone in? Or do you still have your mt4g?

Kinda late but I bought my mytouch 4g off craiglist in new condition with the box for $150 in Orlando. Sold my lg optimus for $80 so didn't feel too much pain from the purchase
I've bought 4 phones like that. Been with tmobile for 5 years and used to get upgraded but now on month to month for the past year.

I know someone with a HTC sensation and they love their phone and they do not have the dust screen problem....actually he never heard of it until I asked him about it!
so what it shattered was the digitizer, the glass that responses to the touch of the fingers, if the lcd was working fine you could have bought an original digitizer on ebay for $30 with tools included and they are plenty of videos on youtube on how to change it it requires a medium to advance level of skill, I replaced mine once and it works like a charm until this day.
My wife has the Sensation and it is amazing, I have being tempted by that gorgeous device to get me one and being close to get it, but then I see my MT4G and how amazing still is,I always backed up, with no remorse. Plus I just added the creamed glacier rom with ICS 4.0.3 and it's amazing there's no way I'm letting this one go, I will keep this little bad ass device for a little longer before I move to another phone.
i dropped mine faceflat too.. i thought i broke it but it was completely fine.. phew
I'm buying a MyTouch 4G and I'm hoping I don't break it. That sucks you did though, have fun with your Sensation.
sorry for your loss i'd go with the sensation!

No, because it doesn't happen all the time.
if your taking it in to a store then try putting a pin inside the back speaker and wiggling it around a bit. Make sure it crackles when audio is played. cuz if u take it in and they mess with it they may just say well i cant see a problem.
Am I the only one who thinks the op should just suck it up for the problem HE caused and stop ripping off tmo... Or maybe I'm just too moral....

I hear ya, I was checking the Slide boards to see if their was anything new for my wife's main phone and my backup and one of the guys over there had a legit fail on his second phone and they offered him a free replacement Slide or re-furbed MT4G and it turned into a 4 page thread of bull**** lies to tell TMO to get out of the Slide and into the MT4G.
I've noticed that people also do this every time the "latest and greatest" comes out and then whine and cry that the manufactures aren't putting out updates... with all the people that do this it makes it appear to the manufactures that there are too many issues with the device to support with future update support.
T-Mobile most likely going to just fix it up. Its not like there's anything really wrong with the phone. He can literally say my phone is rebooting on its own and I haven't installed any apps. It's not really scamming T-Mobile scratches aren't that big of a deal now lying to get an upgrade is more of scamming T-Mobile.

You mean the ROM, right? Pretty sure people are excited about the hardware. Go read Engadget's review of it. Those guys are the most biased iphone fanboys ever and they gave the Thunderbolt a pretty damn good review. The phone is sexy as hell.
Now if you mean you somehow had the Thunderbolt, a CDMA phone, running on T-Mobile, a GSM network, then please do tell. I love good fiction as much as the next guy.

Mytouch 4g is and thunderbolt are basically the same phone few differences. Like an 8mp camera on the thunderbolt and a better ffc. Only thing I'm jealous of is a kickstand. I like it has a g2 like build.

Yeah it has similar guts as our phone, but 4.3 inch display, like you said both cameras are way better, capacitive buttons on the front (subjective feature), kickstand, proper HTC Sense, and in Engadget's test they saw up to 20Mbps on the LTE network. They admitted that once it's loaded with customers that would drop probably significantly, but it's still a good sign.
The internal specs are similar to ours, but other than that, it's different in every way. THAT'S why people are excited about it.
Edit: don't get me wrong, I love my Glacier. I am most certainly not jumping to Verizon. I have had every t-mo phone and the only thing that might make me leave my Glacier is if the Pyramid comes to t-mo. *crosses fingers*. Basically my point is, saying you've used the Thunderbolt on t-mo for months now is just a tiny bit on the hyberbole side.

Well we have a higher pi seeing that our phone is smaller remember just because they have more megapixel doesn't mean it takes better pictures. The VGA or 1.3 camera won't matter for video calling. Only thing I'm jealous of is a kickstand. Then again everything is a personal preference. Hell ill jump to HTC pyramid as well if its on T-Mobile. Something tells me T-Mobile going to take out the kick stand I don't want to buy their cheap case.

The moral responsibility lies on the OP he asked a question and people did there best to respond to it. Just remember it cost HTC a total of $62 to produce the average device and we pay $500+ for it.
wait how did this thread go into a thunderbolt vs MT4G argument
I had this phone for few hours now and it is unbelieveable fast and responsive.
The screen is better than in my previous Galaxy S 4G and actually feels better and more responsive. The colors are unbelieveable and more natural than SGS4G. Black colors will not make me return this phone at all.
Thr speakers are super clear as well. Actually got surprised by how clear the sound is.
Data speeds and reception have been great as well.
these are my first impressions.

And the rep told me just call back and they will give me full phone upgrading option to my other two lines. Cant be happier and cant wait for the ups truck now!

Did you call to cancel your service or did you speak to the sales department?
In my experience, the sales department would never make an offer like that so I'm guessing you were threatening to cancel unless you got a deal like this.
I actually talked to CS first and told them the problem that I was having with GPS on my vibrant and then she connected me to some other department(customer loyalty I believe). Then I nicely explained the stiuation with the phone having GPS problems even after the current replacement that I had. And he asked me, if I might consider an upgrade and I just told him that I could give it a try to see if the next phone is better. And then I told him that I cant upgrade all three phones right now but I might in future. So I asked for G2x and he expided for me and devided $250 into four month payment + $50 rebate. (btw, I have been with tmobile since 2004)
loving it so far only 1 problem
so im loving the phone so far. coming from droid 1. havent been able to test the 4g much yet only 2g at the house. I do miss some of the customizations in my rom Sourcery from the droid one will get to porting it to this when we get what we need from the great cm. coming over from verizon obviously. my only complaint is i was under the impression the tmobile girl would come welcome me and she hasnt shown up yet
I had a chance to briefly try one of these out at the store today and was really tempted to just buy it. I currently have a nexus one so it's a huge step up. The only thing holding me back is the HTC Sensation which is supposed to come out in june. Do you guys think it's worth waiting for over the g2x?

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

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...

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!!!

ROFL...couldn't have said it better.
Anyway, yeah...don't let this stand.
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.

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.

You will be more than welcome bro

At this point, I am very happy I did not make the jump to the Sensation. You would think finding a cheap, used G2x would not be that hard with all the goodbye G2x threads.
Sensation definitely has more issues than G2x which are hardware and not software.

Hmm good point. Maybe ill sell my sensation, buy a g2x.
Really guys, really. The wifi issue is huge. I didnt have the death grip with data, just wifi. Others dont but I think its cause they have nice new N routers or something. But where my sensation dies just by covering, I could sit on my G2x and it would never lose signal all the way down.
THE G2x to me is starting to look like a better device.

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.

My son has a pretty funny thing going on with his...funny to me...not him.
He has a pretty cool case for the Sensation...works great, very minimal. Does not have any Death grip issues...case seems solve this.
He has WiFi Case grip issues In order to get WiFi in his bedroom, he has to remove the case.
So, go to work, put on the case, no problems. Come home from work, remove the case...no problems.

sure. Well, some have charger issues. See my video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOp0_tiTHJg but Im the only one I saw with this issue.
Theres a ground issue.
and a wacky screen issue http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n_LMhC8Y68 thats my first phones issues that I took back.
id rather have a g2x I think. The sensation IMO is better, but the issues are more sever.

lol I never had a issue with reception, just the wifi. I actually put a piece of PT in between my case and phone and it fixed it..... lol Ill post a video later on it cause I want people to see it.
lol
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.
if so, what did you say. i just got off the phone with corporate and all she could do was waive the 20 dollar exchange fee and tmobile is now sending me my 4th g2x.
when this new g2x is buggy like i'm sure it will be, what should i say so that customer care will send me a sensation instead. After going on a 14 day roadtrip where my g2x's gps refused to work i can't stand having to deal with this phone anymore.
thanks in advance
I did, and I got to keep my G2X. Story is to long but you can find my thread by looking through my previous posts.

Might be worth a read.
The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Trust me. Going through three sensations I realized the g2x issues aren't that bad especially on cm7... Read my previous posts also as JW. Mines a completely different experience ...
If you have returned it 3 times within 90 days on the warranty you can just ask them to exchange it for you. I think they call it their "multiple warranty exchange program" or something like that.
Unlike Smashpunks, the grass was greener enough to make the Sensation my daily driver. My G2X didn't have any problems by the way. I just like the bigger display, crisper looking text, better camera and the phone feels better in my hand.

Again OP. This gentleman has proven his sensation to be worthy and have non of the wifi issues I had. So moral of the story is. The grass isn't always greener on the other side, always, but you may find that green patch like JW did.. lol
I love my g2x. I would have loved the sensation also without the wifi and screen issue after a week. So if the both were flawless which would I pick? Honestly if I had no issues on either. I think I'd still go g2x. Something about the tegra chip that foking rocks. Also that extra dead space at the bottom of the g2x by the capacitive buttons that everyone hates, well, I love it.... this phone looks sweet. Sensation was a great phone. Just 3 bad in a row gave be bad joojoo.
Oh jw is right. The camera on the sensation destroys the g2x, not only in quality but features. Like the video camera can refocus while touching the screen, genius ..

A: Last I talked to customer care they did say something along the lines of "well, what phone would you want instead?" when I said, "I have little confidence that another G2x will be any better." But I never followed up on that and just got another G2x on the way. It's my first replacement, and now my phone is working fine again after the backlight got stuck on dim and then refused to boot.) So I may keep the original since the bleed is minimal and I've never gotten an auto reboot. I have had to manually reboot a lot to cure failing wifi and other such issues.
B: The annoying, but effective GPS cure for me was to get "GPS Test" from the market, it's free. After I turn on the GPS I open GPS Test and I watch as it gets a lock in seconds. If I go right to Google Maps or Navigon after turning on the GPS it sometime takes a long time or never locks. Stupid extra step to get around some lame bug someone should be fired for letting ship with the phone, but it's working for me. WMMV. Good luck.
They replaced mine with a Sensation. I refused to leave the store without a fully working product or my money. I literally pulled a chair up to the manager an asked him to fix it or give me something that works.
I certainly liked the G2x a great deal but the Sensation is really reliable and the battery life is fantastic. I really mean that. I would happily use a G2x again...but not until I can rely on it.
