Getting a sweet deal on a sensation ... Love my g2x - T-Mobile LG G2x

So I can get a new sensation for.about 260.. Which is about the same I can sell my phone for, I dont have experience with the sensation...from online reviews it seems to win over the g2x..what should I do???

If u are looking to get a new phone for a low price go to wirefly.com that's where I purchased my g2x when it first came out only got it for 150
T-Mobile G2X

Im under contract so its the best price I can get it for ..

Why would you ask this on a G2x forum? haha
I've played with an HTC Sensation. In my opinion, it's not that great. The display sucks, and Sense really bogs it down.

dont buy it from tmobile, buy it from somewhere else. the sensattion is a better phone

For me it was sensation or g2x two weeks ago. I felt the g2x was a better phone and got it instead. I didn't see the reason to add an extra $60 for a sensation that is not as fast as the g2x.
lol I watched all the reviews online, and they said the g2xhad an ugly UI but was a speed demon, while the sensation was slower but prettier interface
when it comes to phones...speed over anything.
but don't get it wrong.. sensation is a great phone, and sense it cool.

I actually traded a sensation for this. After having gone to a sensation. I like the 3 d games and even oced and custom stuff was jumpy on that phone. The gpu is weak

Who cares really. This phone rocks because its got the best development section and no matter what people say Tegra is one of the best gaming phones on the market.

What rom are you running? Stock Froyo debloated and rooted run 1080p video smoothly on my phone. I find that Stock Froyo rom is the most stable and the battery last longer. =)

Sgs2 = g2x > Hd2 > sensation.
I haven't seen a romed sensation yet though.
Just saying hd2 is a beast.
G2x is one of the best phones and is gonna be king till we get another buggy tegra3 device.
IMHO the only thing the sgs2 has over the g2x is screen real estate. O and its modem is awesome.
I haven't seen more phones with problems when it comes to g2x and the sensation, weirdness!!!

Should I trade?????;

So there's a guy who will give me a new sealed G2X and $100 for my sensation now I had the g2x before and before it got the ota 2.3.3 but the only reason i would be reason I would be trading is for the pure speed of the g2x because let's be real our sensation is slow I mean I have full s-off and custom ROM with no sense and my quadrant still blows Mabey 1800 to 2100 how is that ? Please tell me thats not for long and its only because the roms suck right now on the sensation? So there you have it i love everything else about the sensation specs are better then the g2x but the speed will have you think otherwise Should i trade or wait?

My Phone is for benchmarking only, too!
Man put TouchWiz on the Sensation and have a look again! Sense is huge! And the g2x is not faster
Have you used the g2x it blows the sstion out speed wise and i have a sensation its just faster but I don't know why I wanna keep my sensation because like i said the specs are better nobody wants to say it but we all know the Tegra2 has the uperhand ....

I have the G2X and no it doesn't blow the Sensation out of the water. First off, before I removed Sense, the Sensation has always opened apps and interacted with apps faster than the G2X. It also loads Google Maps faster as you scroll through the map. Browsing has always been smoother while scrolling through the pages and the two games I play the most, run smoother on the Sensation. Really the only thing the G2X was faster at was the UI but now that I am using ADW with Sense removed, my Sensation us as fast as my G2X. If you want, I can show you a video of how fast my Sensation is.
I care more about real life experience rather than what some beanchmark is telling me. Quite frankly, I don't even believe most of these benchmarks as I don't think there using our asynchronous processor correctly.

Lol, take it from me. DO NOT GET THE G2x. Even Tmobile and LG are trying to wash their hands off it right now. If it does get an update or the so called update in few weeks, it will most likely be the last. I seriously doubt they will be able to fix ALL the problems. I was lucky enough to get exchange my G2x for Sensation and so far it has worked right. The one thing that didn't work for me and i needed was BT A2DP. The random reboot i could deal with but imagine you are talking to someone and bam, your phone is rebooting. You wake up the the sound of your phone rebooting .... Please read up on the G2x forum and don't say we didn't warn you.
PS: Make sure if you do get it that the 14days grace period is valid and go from there.

I hardly get the random reboots ever. And currently there are a lot of updates.
And in terms of specs im sure the galaxy s2 is better as it has more ram, alot more storage and the exynos chipset is also faster. It also has super amoled plus.. or are you after the tegra version?? :l I suggest i9100

i just came from the g2x and i wouldnt go back too many problems you have to mod that phone heavily to make everything work, the only problem i have now with my sensation i got today is the video camera? does any mode record in 30fps cause its not working on mine
Besides the software problems have you seen the chin on that phone? I think it might be bigger than the chin on my face.
Keep your sensation

It should record 1080p at 30fps in well lit situations. Doesn't do so well in situations with no light.
I'm definitely disappointed with the sensation 4g. It lags a lot in my opinion. While sense is a beautiful UI, it is just to heavy. I bought this phone off contract ( 549.99 Plus tax) thinking this would be it. The fast phone that I have been waiting for and I swore to myself to not buy another samsung phone but looks like I'm gonna get the Hercules or whatever galaxy s 2 is coming to tmobile. At the end of the day you have to see what's best for you. I honnestly do not care about the ahs display, its very nice don't get me wrong, but I rather have the wvga phone that is just smoother on a day to day basis. Iam almost certain that a lot of people are a bit disappointed with the sensation. The truth is it underwhelms. Come on 1.2 GHz dual core and it lags?
It lags? Haven't noticed it really. Been using Leedroid since day one (yesterday) and adw launcher.
The o2x is a disappointment like all lg phones. They should just stick to something they are good at like televisions.
On paper it's great but software is trash.

Torn, please help

I previously had a Vibrant, and loved it. Unfortunately I had a pretty intense water accident with it (sat in a jacuzzi for 10 min before realizing it was in my pocket). I am eligible for an upgrade and am torn on phones. I have to get a phone by the 25th, so I can't wait for the Hercules, so I'm wondering, should I even bother with the SGS4G? Or should I look elsewhere at the Sensation or G2X?

Yes. I think you should "bother" with this phone

By bother, I mean is it worth it to get, its almost six months old and I know that its not running on much different hardware than the vibrant (which is one reason I'm so attracted to it) but I want a beast, not a puppy when it compares to other phones in good old performance. Haha I realize now that "bother" wasn't quite the right word. I guess the better phrase is, is it worth it to get over the other new powerhouses?

I don't know anything about the sensation but my wife had a g2x and that was one big ass soggy piece of crap. Nothing but problems came from that thing. Needless to say we swapped it out. As far as the sgs4g goes I love this phone and would never pick a g2x over it.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I played with the sensation at the store and I liked it alot but I couldnt tell a whole lot of difference. But hardware wise the sensation has the high ground and it has sense 3.0 which I like alot. I,love my sgs4g but I personally like the sensation more. If only the new sgs4gs had 2.3.4 and tw4.5 or something new then it would be a beast.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
G2x is a solid phone, if it didnt have all the issues it would probably top the sensation. I like the g2x, stock android and very very fast! Sensation is an excellent phone as well, reminded me too much of my nexus one though.
You can't really go wrong with either one (IF you get a good g2x without problems) slim chance it seems to be. Battery life on g2x wasnt great barely 6-8 hours or so, sensation is alittle better though. Galaxy s 4g is nice, no issues running kg4 and probably getting around 2 days plus on one charge.
May want to consider a nexus s as well if you are looking at this phone. Personally I would try to hold off for another month or so, new nexus may roll out, the sgs2 or whatever itll be called? If you must choose now, pick up a cheap galaxy s4g off craigslist.
Sgs4g is great but either the sensation or g2x is def a better choice. Better dev communities and better phones period.. dual core ftw. Hercules is a phone to end all phones though.. why can't u wait??
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Not sure about G2x, but the SG4G is way better than Sensation 4G
Sensation got a good screen, but, the battery life sux. Also the call quality is not good as SG4G. Low ring ton volume is disappointing also. Audio quality (headphone) of SG4G (with voodoo) is 100 times better than Sensation.
Why not just get a phone like the Sensation on the 24th of this month and if the Hercules comes out before your 14 day return period then just swap it out for the Hercules.
But if you live in the wonderful state of California, then you get 30 days to swap it out.
You guys are all looking at software issues. Hardware wise, the other phones are newer...so of course the others will be faster, have more memory, etc. most, if not all, the issues will probably be addressed by the community. I have no complaints about this phone, but do your research on the development of the others.

Hercules has the qualcomm snapdragon dual core, when compared to the exynos on my sgs2, it feels like comparing a core i5 to a pentium dual core. But the screen size is a plus, but it will probably kill the battery really quickly.

Tough choice, while the sgs4g is a solid device, it is older hardware wise. On the other hand the g2x and sensation has a plethora of issues.

Well the reason I can't wait is because I added a line on the 26th and only got the sim. So I have until then to get a new phone at contract price. I don't know if they will let me buy it and still have the 30 days (I live in california). Otherwise maybe I will get the sensation and hold it til the herc comes.

Or you could just keep the Sensation. The Hercules is not that much of an upgrade anyways, unless you're dying for an AMOLED+ screen.
They have the same processor. Plus, if you're into modding, the Sensation is very close to a full working build of CM7. So you can only imagine how fast that will be. And it's a qHD screen while the Hercules is not.
I think I need to research the qHD screen. It didn't look very impressive to me, but I only used the phone for 2 minutes or so. The thing is, I LOVED the super AMOLED on the vibrant.

I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store and check them all out.
All three of them are different, out of the three though I preferred the G2x since I like it stock.
I had the SGS4G and although it was a good phone I think that the G2x is a better phone all around. Tetra Dual core, HD recording, unlocked bootloader, stock, great screen, hdmi port, and build quality.
Hope that helps

I would recommend that you go to a T-Mobile store as well. If you are not good with dealing things, do not go for the g2x. Don't get me wrong,I love my phone. It's an amazing phone,but you have to do little work on it. If you like sense, go for the sensation, if you like games? I would suggest to go with the g2x.
But it all comes down to you, buddy. Go to a store and try them out to see if you like which better.
if you cant wait for the hercules than get the g2x because its almost the same price as the sgs4g but daul core, since sensation sucks its only using one core but good gpu. G2X ftw because of performance and price.

G2x to HTC Sensation

I'd say the sensation is a step up but I'm not exactly a non bias party tho.
There are currently no roms containing ics. There is a major alpha Rom under development.
Make sure to get yourself a case and maybe an mhl adaptor. Some nice headphones wouldn't be a bad idea either
Currently the arhd roms for sense 3.0 and 3.5 are very well built and do wonders for efficiency and performance. It just depends what your looking for in a Rom

OK thank you! The big reason is that I personally think a 4 inch screen is too small for me. Don't get me wrong I love stock Android but I always need to change my phones customization that's why I love sense. And I love the build quality of HTC phones. And the g2x's Rom development is dead. Basically.

ya i agree about the build quality and the sense being a top selling point. i love the sensation and with it being one of the few devices getting ICS first (at least as of now) the development should be going strong for at least 6 monthsd from now.
That is a long time in android years lol

i have both phones and have the sensation as my daily. while i like the sensation slightly more i must say the sense is what keeps me. i hated sense until i really started to use it and im now hooked. i also think though that the g2x has a much sharper and nicer screen.
performance wise i have tested both side to side and the only thing the lg wins in testing over the sensation is neocore (nvidia processors). 78.9fps to 60fps. however linpack and quadrant the sensation takes the cake.
generic testing i know. but it does help to some degree.

I'm not trying to say the sensation screen sucks. As a matter of fact the resolution is greater than the the one on the g2x. However I must say that the screen seems richer and sharper on the g2x. Just my 2 cents...

I have both the G2X and the Sensation and I like the Sensation better. The G2X seems faster and benchmarks faster, but both are fast enough and the bigger screen on the Sensation is my main reason..
I also have a Tmobile Galaxy S2 but I actually do not use it anymore and switched back to the Sensation because the S2 is too big, it is hard to use with one hand and a pain to carry around..
All 3 have custom roms on them and whichever gets a stable ICS first will be my new daily use phone...
the s2 looks amazing and has amazing specs. seeing as you have all three phones is it hands down the best for performance outta the 3? also i love the screen but i think 4.3 is about the biggest id need.
Yea okay I'm definitely switching because the g2x has a nvidia processor and there is no way there going to give the drivers out. So no ICS for the g2x until the official release.

My touch can be iffy at times, but I enjoy it regardless
Overheating is something you've gotta watch especially with hdmi plugged in
Overall 8/10
Recommendation: yes
Development:7/10

I'm not a fan of miui, but if you'd like look through the dev section and I can take a spin of anything ya like

MIUI is alright but not fully functional and has its quirks, I;d suggest staying away from it and stick to a CM7 base to get the best out of the G2X.

Really..wut doesnt work??
All ive run is MIUI for 6 months. Dont know if i could go back to CM7
main thing for me is WiFi calling, Cm7 is just 10X more stable, I like the swipe notifications from cm7, camera is more stable on cm7. It is actually supported by people and has Dev support, not knocking on syngh or the galnet or scotland builders, but it has too many flaws. I haven't run it over 3ish months for more then 2 hours (about 1 month ago, and it was just to wonky for me.) It's been too long for me to list the issues I noticed, but the UI is amazing I wish it was fully supported for us, or if a phone could be purchased on contract with MIUI pre-built then I'd jump on it lol.
This phone has excellent development and good hardware. I also hear good things about the new stock baseband/software but haven't tried it yet. It's a great phone if you like to flash ROMs. The physical build quality is also much better than other phones, I just got an SGS2 and the G2X seems much more solid.
Love this phone but if u can get a newer phone go for one those instead of this.
If money really isn't an issue and your renewing your contract wait for the Samsung galaxy 3

No im goin prepaid..gonna go on straight talk or tmobile prepaid or tmobile value plan
I really have no urge to upgrade. I love my evo with miui and if i get another phone ill just put miui on it again so the only upgrade would be smoother and better camera. Cause the software is gonna be the same.
Wish i could put my evo on one of the above but i cant ;(
Its a good fun really fun to trick out yea the overheating is the only problem runs good overall

OK just because wifi calling doesn't work doesn't mean to "stay away from it".
Just say you don't like miui at all, there's plenty of ports/miui to play with go for it

Don't get it. It's an amazing phone, but there are better devices out there.

It's a great phone, as long as you don't expect much support from LG, a little more from T-Mobile, and the rest of your support is here.
If it were me, I'd go to a better phone.
if you get it at the right place I say get it
honestly you can prob get a g2x for around 200 which is a great price, a GS2 is probably 300 and sensation 250-275 I dont think decking out that extra money would be worth it
I agree. Since the phones hardware are identical. The g2x is a great phone to use still

Your on point with the sensation price which is really not a big upgrade comparing it to the g2x
