Brother its all in what u want. I would recommended checking the specs for both at http://www.phonearena.com/phones and also this sgs4g is pretty amazing with the tweaks and mods I have already it is buttery smooth and the screen is brilliant. But like I said check the specs and figure which one fits you better.

Well the G2 has more roms but the SGS4G is more powerful and will probably start getting roms soon so i would recomend keeping it if you have a some patience

If you want a mans phone get the samsung. It seems built more for adults. The G2 reminds me of a teens phone. Just my opinion of course. GREAT roms for the phone already though. But we will be getting some good stuff here soon.
Thanks guys im keeping my Samsung the G2 is a nice phone. But I love my samsung front facing camera I do like video chatting with my girl. Plus getting a little show every now and then since both are going to different colleges. I do like the ginger bread rom on my samsung.

I love my phone and all but in all honesty, return the phone and get the htc sensation or lg g2x. Much much better phones at the same price that are also a little more future proof than this phone.

Same price? I got my SGS4G on flex pay for 50$.
EDIT: Once CM7 comes to our phones it will be future proof. Hell the G1 has 2.2.1 on it thanks to CM.

Hell I have gingerbread running smooth on my old g1that I still play with thanks to COS-DS. Runs good on the g1 actually...check the g1 dev forum if you still have one of those phones.
And yeah the g2 is a nice phone for its form factor. If you like a physical keyboard it has a really nice one. But the with g2x be careful. There are reports of alot of hardware problems, screen problems and other issues. Read up on the g2x before jumping in to that one.

2.3 on the G1? Wow. Didn't think people used it actually still. My friend has 2.3.4 for his Cliq.
Hey Guys,
Im considering trading my nexus S for a LG G2x off Craigslist. He says there are no random resets, no bleeding...stuff like that. It has flashed eaglesblood on it.
Is this a safe bet for a working (kickbutt) phone? Or am i risking stuff here?
Cheers

U Mad Bro? Why would you trade for a Nexus S for that?

well i think you should do it its worth it because you getting a newer phone with 4g and dual core plus i advice you to flash the miui rom after you get it this rom is the best it lets you use so many themes and locksscreen then any other rom plus it looks so much HD
To be honest I would rather have the Nexus S. ROM's are more stable. There's still some bugs here and there for CM7 on G2x, but they're still very stable. Plus you're guaranteed ICS. Dual core is cool, but nVIDIA doesn't release drivers so that sucks.
Up to you though. Just be weary, there might be a reason he's trading his G2x.
Powered by a G2x
As much as I enjoy my G2x, I wouldn't.
To answer your question, I don't think it's safe considering how many issues the G2x came with, not that many weren't software-based and can't be fixed, I just imagine that if he is selling it, he might be having an issue that he feels he can't fix. Or maybe it has an issue that is truly not fixable.
Regardless, your Nexus S is legit. We truly can't take advantage of two cores until ICS.
Haha OK. So after all that I decided to go for it. LOL. So... I guess a hello to the forums is in order .b
I've had the phone running for a while now... no issues.not even screen bleed. Solid as a rock, the only
thing is sometimes the browser force closes... I can live with that. I'm hoping I got lucky. Lol
Welcome. Fast phone, but until ICS, it really is a single core phone. At a used, student price, you got a good deal.
I say do it. I got mine off Ebay. Not a single problem here.

DONT DO IT!!!!!!!! I miss my nexus one and I swore that i am never getting another android phone unless its a nexus... LG doesnt give a crap about this phone, they have moved on to bigger and better things. i doubt we will ever get ICS.. im currently using CM7 which makes this phone some what enjoyable, but still has its fair share of bugs and problems, such as GPS and camera sucks, my N1 was better at taking photos.

Oh my God! Is this the g2x's whining thread? If you don't think a dual core 4g phone is the best choice your being a baby. You want a phone with problems, huawei ascend.

I've been debating the same thing. If gaming isn't your thing, I'd go for the NS. It already has ICS, we'll get ICS "by summer". A couple of things still don't work on CM7 through no fault of their own, it's NVIDIA's closed drivers, so the same will probably happen on CM9. I know they said they'd help the development community but it's already January and we haven't seen anything so I'm not holding my breath.

Nexus S IMO, I"m actually trying to trade mine as well for a Nexus S. I like SAMOLED better and some thing's on the G2x just bug me. Samsung just makes the best phones IMO, plus it's a Google phone. Can't go wrong with that one. And with Tegra being closed source it'd troublesome to dev on.

I disagree. There's no better chipset for gaming than Tegra2. You'll be hard pressed to find another phone that, when overclocked, hits 100 FPS. Just my opinion.
The NS is hype, a brand, and a loyal group of followers...none of which merit the glorification it receives. G2x is in every way a better phone; the resale value bit mentioned before is complete bull****. The NS sells for the same, if not more than the G2x. I think it's complete bull****. G2x blows the NS out of the water. You can keep an active community, but to me, it comes down to specs. NS is old and can't compare to newer, better technology.

How's the NS? What's your thoughts after trading? Pros and cons?
My Pros of NS:
Super Amoled
Endless dev support & official Google support
Camera quality looks better
No memory leaks=multitasking King even with 512mb of ram!
My Pros of G2x:
Dual Core Processor!
Micro SD slot
Gorgeous looking device!
Although both the NS and G2x have a 4 inch screen, the G2x screen just looks much bigger and I love the almost natural looking whites.
My Cons of NS:
Single Core Processor
Screen attracts finger prints like crazy and so does the entire phone!
My Cons of G2x:
Lack of drivers=lack of excellent quality roms (no offense to the devs)!
Camera sucks so bad!!! I know its a software issue since the camera was way better with LG's camera app on official Froyo (I've owned a G2x before)
Battery life SMH! Need I explain?
Conclusion: I love both phones. Either phone fits me well since all I really look for is a phone that makes/receives calls, browse the internet well and text. I'm pretty simple. I love the G2x hardware, just hate LG for letting it go to waste. This phone really had and still has potential to be something great. It definitely is better than the NS when it comes to hardware, but software wise the NS has this phone by a long shot.
Luckily I haven't had any random reboots or overheating as my other G2x did in the past. And I notice very little screen bleeding so I'm happy!

exactly, my pros and cons would be exactly the same. i wish the Nexus had a removable sd, but then i can always mount it.
but im sure u wont get any overheat/ reboot, it never occurred when i owned the phone for about 4 weeks.
im satisfied tho, i have a device i can settle down with for about 6 months...maybe more .
i just need to get used to the button arrangement on the nexus s....its f*ucking confusing me

I could not be more fed up with the T-Mo G2x. I just listed it on Craigslist. I have had more problems with this phone that any other Android phone I've owned. I can not find a ROM that makes this phone run smoothly. I do not blame the devs in any way. They are just working with the crap that LG provided them. Anywho...to my question. I was wondering from those of you on T-Mobile what you thought the best replacement would be. I'm not eligible for an upgrade for another year so that is out of the question. I need a contract free phone and it needs to run on T-Mo's 3G or HSPA+ network. Thanks for your advice guys. I appreciate it. BTW...my budget is $350. My initial thoughts were either going back to a Nexus S, or going with an HTC Sensation.
Wait for the Huawei Ascend D Quad...

Well... you're missing out.
With pretty much any optimized CM ROM (Eaglesblood, Hellfire Phoenix) and a good kernel, well THE good kernel (trinity) your phone will fly. Could easily compete with the T-Mo Galaxy S2.
But, yeah, the next best thing to a G2x is a Galaxy S2, I think HTC phones are ugly, but if you like them I think T-mo has a few good ones.

Why do people think a single core phone can compete with a dual core phone? It just doesn't make sense to me.
Even with crap software a dual core phone beats a single core phone in sheer processing power, and then with custom ROMs it beats them in everything. Not to mention the G2x has Tegra 2.
I'm happy with my G2x's hardware, and the dev's here are amazing.
Can't blame you for being fed up with it. While I've never really had problems with it I know plenty have.
To me, you shouldn't have to constantly try to find a perfect combo of ROM and kernel to make a phone good. It should already be 100% working out of the box, and the G2x was far away from that.
Hopefully you can get something better! If you can try to trade it for a Nexus S. Nexus S has no problems and actually has a higher re-sale value than the G2x.
Anyways, good luck.
Try the ICS kang roms? I hate this phone too, although custom roms do seem to fix a lot of the issues I had with the g2x.
If you're looking for a different phone I would recommend the amaze/galaxy s2 or wait a few months for some of the new phones that were announced at MWC.

If you want to see the max potential of this phone I would suggest not using the ICS ROMs yet as they are not finished; try Hellfire Phoenix or Eagles blood, your phone will fly.

I would love to get my hands on A nokia pureview 808 if we can get CM on it and it doesn't take away from the camera.

I don't feel that I am missing out in any way shape or form. After having a Nexus S in the past and having used my mom's nexus s since the 4.0.3 update, I can tell you that it blows my G2X out of the water. Single core or not, I will take a bugless interface over what I have been dealing with on the G2X. I am unable to keep it on for more than an hour at a time, at which point I get the sleep of death. This is my 3rd G2X and they have all had the same issues. I have tried every custom rom and every kernel and every combination in between. I am experienced with flashing roms and kernels and can not for the life of me make this phone worth anything. I'm done with it. So yeah...I am considering going back to the Nexus S.
One more thing. Thank you so much to all of the devs for the G2X. Thanks for all of the work that all of you have put in trying to make this phone everything it should be. You are very much appreciated.

You are lucky my friend. I haven't owned one yet that doesn't suffer from the sleep of death. It truly makes me sad as the G2X really is one hell of an handset.

You must've just gotten bad hardware, but I wouldn't try again to see if you got good hardware on this phone, I guess I was lucky as my G2x is smooth as butter and bugless.
Also if you still have your G2x, try raising the minimum frequency using SetCPU as many said that fixed their problem, but if you don't then don't worry about it.
Have fun with your Nexus S, because even though it's hardware can't compare, you'll still have complete google support and be among the first to get 4.1.x.

I actually switched from a Nexus S to the G2X. I never had an issue with it in any way. I just couldn't resist some dual core goodness with the G2X came out. I regret ever switching at this point. Someone just offered me $240 for the G2X which goes pretty much for what they are selling on Ebay and on Amazon. I think I'm gonna do it. Anyone have any suggestions of other places to sell it for more?

That's why I always keep my previous phone for a couple months after upgrading.
Take that deal, because of the G2x's bad rep most people sell them for around 50-100$, but you've got a sucker on your hands, so sell it quickly before he smartens up.
Although, I've seen some people say their G2x was bad and then when someone else bought it the other person was able to have a stable clock speed of 1.66 with undervolting which is extremely intense, so you may be the sucker .
But yeah, if you don't like it, sell it to that guy.
EDIT: also the SODs can be caused by your battery, you may have gotten a faulty battery from LG (like many others.)

OH! Yeah, right now a single core ICS phone would blow a dual core GB phone out of the water, seeing as ICS has the HW acceleration :/.
ICS builds are a lot less than perfect right now for this phone.

I don't feel that I am missing out in any way shape or form. After having a Nexus S in the past and having used my mom's nexus s since the 4.0.3 update, I can tell you that it blows my G2X out of the water. Single core or not, I will take a bugless interface over what I have been dealing with on the G2X. I am unable to keep it on for more than an hour at a time, at which point I get the sleep of death. This is my 3rd G2X and they have all had the same issues. I have tried every custom rom and every kernel and every combination in between. I am experienced with flashing roms and kernels and can not for the life of me make this phone worth anything. I'm done with it. So yeah...I am considering going back to the Nexus S.
One more thing. Thank you so much to all of the devs for the G2X. Thanks for all of the work that all of you have put in trying to make this phone everything it should be. You are very much appreciated.

I had the same problems with mine up until about a week ago. I read an article that stated it wasn't the phones problem but a battery problem due to LG batteries having a bad batch and overall suck. I ordered a anker battery off of eBay and guess what? I have not had one single issue again for a week straight. Same rom and kernel as before. So to anyone having issues and are using the stock battery replace it with a non OEM brand.

Hey G2X users!!
I have been contemplating this situation for months! Now i wanna get the users personal opinion
What is your take on the LG G2X? Is it good? I looked at the specs on LG's website and im liking them. But how does it feel being used every day? Is it better or worse than the SGSII? If so by how much? I really hate buying new things cause i hate when i buy the wrong thing Thanks so much guys for your time!

what are the prices for them is it craigslist, or literally a new like straight from T-Mobile? Overall in my opinion SGS II or wait for a couple months and get the SGS III, or HTC One S now, I say stay from the G2X cause of lack of support from both parties that put the phone out.
Gs2 any day. Samsung processors kick nvidias sorry ass

Well the sgs2 is average 350+ and they claim it's "like new" or "used for only one week" which I find hard to believe. and the lg g2x average 200+ and I have a pre paid plan from t mobile and love it so I wouldn't be able to get the sgs3 sadly (that phone looks so sexy ) and yes the HTC one s I could most likely get but the people I've talked to about their sgs2 say the the sgs2 is better (I don't see how ) and they use that as their means for being firm about their price. Thanks for your input btw

The GS2 is more expensive, but it's a better investment. It has generally better specs, and the Development looks more promising because of Samsung's support.

If I could go back in time, I would wait a week for the SII. It came out a week right after I got the G2x. Stock, I found the G2x to be nearly unbearable. Rooted with custom ROMs, it's good. Not sure how the development community is for the SII, but I'd still probably pick it over the G2x

I would get a SGSII. Also, if price isn't much of an issue, the GNex is on the play store...

I'll still go with sg2.
WHO knows when sg3 will actually come to Us even more TMobile which get everything lastly. Not too mention the price it might be.
LG sucks and 512 ram is kinda too little these days.

Well I guess I'll have to wait xD wish I could sell my stupid Sirius satellite radio and Kyle Yamaha keyboard then I'd have plenty lol thanks all for your comments! Didn't realize the g2x was that bad it actually looked pretty sweet and in terms of development I'd just need a fully working cm7 ROM with data2ext working which takes care of the 512mb issue but I'll wait

I just ordered a gently used G2x on ebay (they go around $200, depending on condition). This is a good value for the specs. The Galaxy S2 is $350+, which gets into a new Galaxy Nexus territory. From what I've researched, custom ROMs like CM7 should be pretty stable and fully functional, most of the problems with the G2x are software anyway. Only hardware issue is the camera dust under cover, which I plan to remedy by putting a clear tape over the LED flash, which I normally don't use anyway.
Also LG already announced ICS for Optimus 2X (international version), it's just delayed again to 3rd quarter, once that is out, one of the major problems with current CM9 ROMs should be resolved (no video acceleration or recording).
Speaking from experience, I have both phones.
GS2 wins for stability, just works, and has a better camera than the LG G2X. But..... personally I'm not thrilled with the GS2 device for the sheer size.
I've used G2X for almost a year. You just have to find a ROM you can live with and make tweaks so that it won't freeze/crash while charging. Other than that, phone is solid. CM7 was best ROM and overall performance. Stock gave best battery but I can't stand STOCK ROMs.
But the biggest reason I really switched to the GS2 was sick of the random crazy battery life and the GPS never working when I need it for emergencies.
I made the mistake of not test driving the GS2 on T-mobile store to get a better feel. Big screen with low resolution is what pisses me off, on top of the fact that the size of the phone isn't friendly to my small hands. If I overlook those two flaws, sure its awesome phone.
Also, the T989 just doesn't have a variety of ROMS available and have to wait for the official release from Tmobile, CM7 isn't reliable for it (I love CM7), and has no CM9 love yet.
I might overlook the negatives I have if Dev for T989 picked up. Until then, it works, reliable, and no headaches.

Can't use the baseband if you want a nice, custom ROM, though.

True. Check out swappa or look around for deals. I don't think you will find if you plan on going prepaid.

I own a G2X, my buddy has a Sgs2 an I would not trade him dead even! The G2X is resilient and easily customizable. Dev support for the G2X is 50 to 1 compared to the Sgs2. I have (and still do) flashed numerous Roms and Kernels to my phone with little or no issue. He bricked his rather quickly. He got his second one and asked me to root and customize - which I did. I was astonished at how little there was to look at / choose from in the Samsung forums here.
bang for your buck? +1 for the G2X
better screen and lots more $$$, go for the s2.
my two pennies.

You must be talking about T-Mobile GS2. SGS2 international is one of the best supported devices out there, has official ICS + fully functional CM9.
Sweet, love all the input guys!! Really giving me a lot to work with and make my decision harder xD
I have a few questions, I found an SGS2 CM7 ROM that lists everything as working. And i too love CM7 waiting for AOKP or CM9 to obtain all the awesome features that CM7 has then i'll make the swap.
From what you guys posted it seems like the G2X has better stability and development. And yes i am talking about the SGH-T989 i cannot use the international version on T-Mobile as it doesnt support the 1700mhz frequency so i wont get 3G.
I am really liking the SGS2 ive been on youtube looking at different videos and it looks pretty awesome. Plus the super amoled display is stunning. Also, to the person who commented on the SGS2 having a lower resolution, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying the 800x400 is too small for the size? The screen is only .2 inches bigger than my HD2 which has the same resolution and i dont see it a problem. I might get the SGS2, i do really like the Amoled display. Ugh decisions decisions xD
Thanks all for the awesome information!
Got another question, 7o both phones support more than two finger multi touch?
