After my Captivate experience... Samsung needs to PROVE they can:
1) Release hardware that works (i.e. the GPS fiasco that affected me).
2) Update phones in a timely fashion... preferably providing more than 1 OS update.
Until then... I am steering very clear of any Samsung computing product.

I'm thinking there is already a thread about this craptastic phone.....lol

I am thinking you are right about that..

lol, ok point taken. Maybe I should just buy a new bumper and hold off on a ff camera and bigger and brighter screen. At&t is just so damm slow with releasing nice android devices. My inspire just feels laggy sometimes, and it isnt the latest and greatest in specs, great device dont get me wrong. I think whats also making me want another device is from the 1st week, i have like two streak smudges on the screen I cant wipe or get rid off. Must be on the glass, I have no idea what it is. Isnt noticeable right, but in bright light or sunlight, you can see it.

usability> specs anyday. The atrix has better specs then the inspire, but moto hasn't made a good phone since the razor. Look how many people jumped ship from the phone. Also it's samsung, the same phone maker that took over a year to realease an update, the inspire has been out for what less then five months and already has an update.
If your phone fills laggy then your not doing something right .

that's a HUGE DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont really care for updates of any device maker as I'm always using custom roms anyways, right?
Also, not sure the infuse would have the development support the htc inspire/desire has. With that being said, I would think the htc inspire would have a better resale value than the infuse down the line due to lack of dev support? and updates?
I guess thats just speculation though.

Galaxy S2 returned, preordered Sensation

Hi!
I returned my Samsung Galaxy S2 back to the store and am now waiting for the HTC Sensation. While the Galaxy S2 is a nice phone, I really despise the TouchWiz. Even with ADW Launcher EX & WidgetLocker mitigating the terribleness of the interface Samsung has built, the stock apps still are very uncomfortable to use - especially e-mail, messaging and calendar are lacking. And most of their other attempts at apps aren't any better - dismal at best.
The back cover is unpleasant to remove which is peeving if you like to switch the battery to a fresh one (although spare batteries are not released till mid-june) or regularly move between different countries and therefore like to change SIMs (like I do).
I also would have preferred a capacitive home-button, instead of a physical switch.
Other bugs (which will probably soon be patched) are bothersome as well, like the 3G data connection regularly stalling - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1097612
Specs-wise I think having a higher resolution screen will be a very nice addition, the lower amount of RAM & internal storage probably won't be all that noticeable. I wonder why HTC didn't include an HSPA+ radio, but I think that is something I can definitively live with.
Are any other Samsung Galaxy S2 expatriates lurking on this board? What were your Galaxy-experiences, why are you now waiting for the HTC Sensation instead?

you are in for a bashing.. but good luck

Why? He shared a consice rational review based on how the phone met his expectations. With OP having owned a SGS2 I look forward to a direct comparison to the Sensation by someone who has used them both as their daily driver.
You and epsix get bashed because you're rude, immature, and banter between yourselves like 5 year old school girls at recess. All while adding nothing constructive.

I've lost my hope about GS2 will ever be a good music player like SGS.
Next Thing
I fully charged my SGS2 and turned on Google latitude (As i was travailing), my phone was in the belt pouch, after about three hours i pull the phone out to make a phone call i found my phone burning hot and battery was almost drained. Couldn't bare any more.
I came back home after few days, returned SGS2 and got Sensation.
Sensation is so far so good, Over all very satisfied.

I didn't mean to paint you as a fanboy. By the same token I'm not a fanboy either. Before the disaster that was the G2X my last five phone's were HTCs and I really liked all of them. I had to get the SGS2 because the Sensation wouldn't have been availbale before the G2X had to be returned to T-Mobile. I would have seriously considered the Sensation if that wasn't the case. I'm a phone geek which is why I'm following the Sensation; not to bash it. Both phones are going to have considerable strengths and weaknesses. We should be able to discuss them without threads turning in to page after page of "yes it is," "no it isn't." Peace.

i completely agree with you.. but it will never happen because everyone has their opinion and that is what causes all of this nonsense. but fair is fair everyone has a preference but to force your preference on others really pushes my buttons. and you do have to admit they are other who go to other threads to bash others for what they want i do visit the sgs2 forums but out of respect i dont post there because i am not at this moment considering the phone but for knowledge i like to read how it is going.

Good decision.

I disappoint... Galaxy S II is much better!
Since 2003 I'm a HTC sure user but now I have to disappoint at all with you and with HTC!
I'm very sorry the new sensation is just considered worse than Galaxy S II but we have to admit this is the thuth!
1) Also if the Galaxy Display resolution (480x800pxl) is lower than htc sens (540x960) its technology is better than htc because is "amoled" and so we have a lower battery consuption, better coulor and luminosity, and better view when there is much sunlight
2) RAM: 1024Mb for Galaxy, 768Mb for htc: no words.....
3) Internal memory: 16Gb or 32Gb (depends by the phone version) for Galaxy while htc sens have got just 1GB! no words still!!
4) cameras: Samsung first one 8mpxl, second one (frontal) 2mpxl; for htc sens is 8mpxl the first one too, but 1.3mpxl the sencond one....
5) battery consuption: with a very similar usage Galaxy SII lasts about 2 full days, while HTC sens just 1/1,5days
I'm very sad to tell it but this time I'll change and I'll buy a Samsung...

Good decision OP, who cares about SamSux. I'll give give them 2-3 month and all hell will break lose in there. SamSux bashing SamSux, look at our development section phones isn't release and no clockwork mod yet and we have 3 roms already. That just tells you HTC is more superior than SamSux. Untill they change their filesystem, HTC will be prefer choice for dev community. Don't matter what spec they have.

I loved the fact that the Galaxy S2 is a very sleek design, thin and light. But the drawbacks - especially in the software area - are very obvious. Their replacements of stock Google apps are, in general, not better but much worse than the original. Plenty of bugs still plague the software - the current version of Music player causes random reboots, data connection is stalling all the time.
Sense (from what I could test on colleagues phones - mainly Desire HD) seems much more thought out and usable to me. I will, still, probably switch to a stock Android ROM, should one arise. But I don't want to be dependent on that.

While AMOLED certainly does produce excellent black levels and saturated colours (maybe even oversaturated), after owning a Nexus One with AMOLED since release I do think the drawback of the technology is the inevitable screen burn-in you get after a few months of use. Nothing that is really bothersome, but LCD technology certainly does have its advantages (besides the higher resolution)

Considering the high RAM usage of Sense, 1GB would have been nice - but still, 768MB should be plenty.

The actual available application memory on the Galaxy S2 is about 2GB, the rest is formated as an internal SD card. In my situation, I typically have about 500MB of app space used - 2GB would have been a nice, but that will still leave me with plenty of headroom once my Sensation is here. A 32GB SD-card will take care of all other storage problems (mainly podcasts, music).

This will vary greatly, but the battery access cover on the Galaxy S2 is very flimsy and uncomfortable to remove. I always carry a second battery for my Nexus One, I will do the same for my Sensation. Changing batteries on the Galaxy S2 (as soon as replacements are available in stores) will be a hassle.

i've done the opposite i've got rid of my sensation and have back ordered the sgs2 the biggest killer for me was the locked bootloader
i know that htc have said they wont lock any more phones but as yet they havent said that they will unlock previous handsets
i know i'm going to get flamed but i really didnt like the sensation it just didnt sit in my hand properly the sgs2 feels better ...... i know it feels cheaper but whats the point in having the expensive feeling phone if it feels wrong in your hand and therefore is difficult to use

You may get flamed by some of the fanboys, but at the end of the day it's all about what feels good to YOU and stuff the rest. I again prefer the more solid feel and try to avoid "cheap" plasticky feel, plus have been put off by plenty of users in many forums I've been to who knock Samsung's lack of updates. Hopefully for you they sort this out. Good luck with your choice
I probably still have a month or 2 before the Sensation is available here, and am hoping for some positive news re the bootloader saga.

I currently have a G2x as well as the Atrix. Ordered the Sensation and the SGS2 as well. Been using both the G2x and the Atrix for a while now and so far, I'm inclined towards the Atrix even though it has the locked bootloader simply because Ive had too many random reboot issues, freeze issues with the G2x (even though I've returned it twice) and I'm not concerned about the light bleed issue.
Once I've received the SGS2 and the Sensation (This Tuesday woohooo!!), I'll have all 4 to test with side by side. Will narrow it down to the top 2 and those are the ones I'm keeping I usually have 2 phones (1 work, 1 personal). If anyone has any suggestions or want me to look at/compare something in specific, let me know.

It's funny..... These [email protected] trolls still lurking in our thread searching for every details to start **** up? My my..... Go flash some TouchCrap will ya.. LMAO

I agree, there were too many people whining about the screen bleed that was never noticeable in normal use. Sensation has no screen bleed but like I said when it first came out, the screen looked washed out to me and this video just confirms it. I never gave up on my g2x and I am glad I stuck it out.

All the whining was half the reason I got a sensation, but three sensations later I was begging for my g2x back..
I'll admit there is a bad batch, but its worth exchanging till you get a good one..
This phone should hold me over till quad core although getting the sgs2 probably, but I still see this being my main phone.

My wife hasthe sensation and while I think its one of the better phones I am glad I stuck with my G2x also. Screen bleed is pretty bad and battery life is way worse than the G2X. My main problem is how flemsy it feels. The back of the phone comes all the way off to get to the battery which leaves a bunch of hollow space between the top cover and screen. So when making screen solection the phone smooshes like a sponge and creeks lol. The [email protected] feels like a much firmer phone imo.

Unibody designs are a terable idea and contribute to its poor WiFi performance. Both HTC and LG have been added to my list of manufacturers I will not buy from for atleast a year. Neither one of them know how to optimize or create drivers for their devices. To give you a little hint of how much Sense brings down the hardware on the Sensation.....After deleting Sense and the rest of the bloatware and running a custom ROM, my Quadrant score jumped to a score over 3000. Really the only manufacture UI that doesn't lag a phone out is Touch Wiz. I give props to Samsung for that.

I went to my local Tmo store fully intending to purchase the Sensation off contract. I wanted the larger screen and higher resolution. The crappy screen quality was a major turn off. I visited four different stores and the result was the same. Washed out blacks and poor color. Combined with all the other major issues the Sensation has, why would anyone switch? It is slower and the quality flat out sucks. Doing a little reading on Sensation forum tells me HTC is outsourcing their screens to the cheapest, crappiest manufactures available. HTC screwed up big time by going cheap on the screen quality.
HTC Sensation = fail
I hope they get it together because I loved my HD2 and expected better from HTC.

Isn't it a qhd screen? I came from att and an atrix which had a qhd screen...while the resolution was a lil better it was a crappy screen. Washed out. Color reproduction was terrible. Yellow looked brown. Coming from a super amoled it was very disappointing. I would have to say I think the ISP display is the way to go. It has a good balance of color and brightness. Black levels are not as good as amoled but at least whites are white and not yellow

I don't mind the screen at all. I was one of the lucky ones who got the Sharp display and not the Acer display that most people are seeing. The Sharp display is much better. Although, I really could care less about contrast or color reproduction on my 4 inch display. Where I do care about contrast is my 55 inch LED TV. I care more about text clarity on my cell phone since there isn't a day that goes by that I'm not reading blogs, ebooks, email, SMS and websites. In fact, after looking at my Sensations display for a couple days, my G2X display appears blurry with jagged text.
The only thing I absolutely hate about this phone is Sense. Which is exactly why I deteleted it. However, even when Sense was there, the Sensation still loaded and interacted with apps faster than my G2X and the gamd I play on a regular basis looked better as well.
In the end, I chose to use the phone that I liked better. I tried liking the G2X since I spent money on it and got the Sensation for free but I just couldn't anymore.
I was about to go back to the G2X because the phones UI lagged with Sense but then it got S-Off and after Sense was removed, the phones UI became as fast as my G2X.

[Q] Trade Question

Hey guys, let me start by saying I love my G2X. It's been problem free for me and I hate to let her go but I've recently acquired a GS2. Since then my LG has been collecting dust. I have the opportunity to trade it for an ATT iPhone 4 32gb. Sound like a good trade? The iphone doesn't come with the original box and has a scratch, that's barely noticeable, on the front and back.
If this is in the wrong section I do apologize but it seemed fitting given my question.
Thanks in advance,

I have the opportunity to trade it for an ATT iPhone 4 32gb. Sound like a good trade? The iphone doesn't come with the original box and has a scratch, that's barely noticeable, on the front and back.
If this is in the wrong section I do apologize but it seemed fitting given my question.
Thanks in advance,

Dual core to single core? You do the math.

That's true. However, in my attempts to sell my G2X people are concerned with the build quality and bugs. I guess a better question would be, Would the iphone bring a greater sale price?

I was being sarcastic. Both my g2x and that iphone are worth more than 175$. I'm not using the thread as a means to sell either. I just wanted a fellow g2x owner's opinion on their value vs. that of an iphone.

Sarcasim is hard to read.

Make sure the iPhone has jailbreakable firmware. You don't want a tethered unlock or jailbreak. Its a pain.

I say put it up on swappa or ebay and I'm sure someone will pick it up quicker than the iphone 4. Just a thought

If your not using the g2x anymore and the iphone4 32gb is in good working condition I would say swap it!
The g2x is a beast of a phone, but the sheople(yes sheep+people=sheople) will always favor the iPhone product because of apples support, also you can bet you'll get more $$$ back if u decide to sell the iphone4 compared to the g2x.

Really that's a bad trade, a G2x would beat a 4S, so if you're just about performance then no.
But if you like how pretty the iPhone is, then go ahead.

Who cares what's faster or better. Fact is, G2x re-sale value is pretty ****ty. A 32GB iPhone 4? That thing will stay at about 350-400 for a long ass time. Maybe even a little more who knows.
Yes swap it.
And for the record, iOS/iPhone 4 is smooth and fast as hell. I hate it, but up until now only the SGS2 or Galaxy Nexus comes close to its smoothness.
So do it buddy, you're getting a steal.

When I put my g2x up against my buddies iPhone 4 I hold my own and then some against it, with a larger screen he likes the way mine looks over his iPhone. He isn't one of those fanboys. My thing for iOS that I'm jealous about is; updates are reliable as well as apps/games oh and their built in apps "camera, messaging, etc... Thats pretty much it though. Oh and there battery.
Sh*$ I think I want an iPhone lol jk....

Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate everyone's input. I guess the iPhone in question has a scratch on the screen so I'm going to have to see how bad that is in an hour or so. I also have a hell of a cash offer on the table for my G2x. The funny thing is now that I'm on the verge of getting rid of it I really don't want to. I think I prefer it over my new GS2 at times.
Anyways, depending on the scratch I think I will have to go with the trade. I share Mackster's opinion on the weak resale value. It's sad when people who don't know squat about phones/technology know of the bugs they were plagued with.

Would rather have my g2x then an IPhone.. <<<Not a Mac fan, BUT a Linux fan..

Too bad mac and android are basically different flavors of linux of each other. Who cares if you go from a dual core to a single core? Just because something has more power doesn't mean it's useful. The G2x is a powerhouse sure, but with the available software it's not making near as much power as it should. The iPhone 4 is a single core, but the software FULLY takes advantage of the hardware. They're about even as far as real life usage. And the iphone is more reliable (waits for somebody to come in and say try this kernel/os) than the G2x. I'm not an apple fanboy and I love my G2x but I expect so much more from this phone. ICS is finally starting to come around. Anyways, trade for the iPhone 4 use it for a couple months, and sell it before the 5 comes out so retail value doesn't completely deteriorate.

I too would guess an iphone 4 would sell for more based on popularity.
You could always keep the g2x as a backup in case you lose/damage/brick your sgs2.

Who else got the Galaxy Nexus?

Just bought my Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play Store, can't say I regret it... just yet. Anyways, who else bit the bullet? The HD screen, plus ICS and pure google made it irresistible...

Nope. Can't afford a new phone and what's the point? I mean yea you get a nicer total hardware and all, but I really only use my phone for web browsing when not at my computer and texting.
I don't feel it would be worth upgrading from a one year old phone for no real upgrades.

You didn't miss out on anything. I did not like the Nexus. My SGS2 blew it away. The pentile screen on the Nexus left much to be desired. No expandable memory, and the touchscreen nav buttons take up screen space, making the useable screen space limited. Returned it.
Getting a G2x tomorrow to use as a daily driver. Will install the latest ICS for it. I look forward to checking out the devs work around here.

Why would you come from a Galaxy SII to the G2x? I love my G2x, but it'd be awesome to have a.Galaxy SII.

Do you really need that much developmnts going on? You cellphone to make make phone calls, texting, browse the web, games.
If android do need that many, that would mean a really big question on its quality.

Well I use my device constantly, and the screen size was one of my constant conplaints about the G2x. I love the phone, but I fell the G2x better suits my needs.

Of course the on screen nav keys take up space, that's why the screen size is 4.65"? There's less space wasted into bezel however, and that's appreciated. I definitely agree with the Pentile screen though, can't be that bad though.
Why are you downgrading from a SGS2 to a G2x however?

That'd be the same as saying "why are there so many apps for the iPhone". Does it suck that bad that it needs apps to make it usable? No, development is always a good thing.

I still have the TMo SGS2. It dominates the Nexus. I was excited to get the Nexus, but it did not live up to expectations. Best phone out there is the SGS2 by TMo.
I got a good deal on a G2x, so I picked one up. Looks to be a nice phone. Reminds me of my Vibrant, but with upgraded specs.
Nexus = fail
SGS2 by TMo = best
G2x = tbd

I got the Tmobile GS2 and its become my main phone for a month now.
I really really really hated it. Back of my mind I still hate it. I have small hands and 4.7 screen really is too big. I hate the stock SMS app and replaced it with the CM7 SMS.
Slowly the phone has won me over, mainly because its reliable and doesn't have any crap or surprises. It just works.
I would have kept the G2X as my main but the reliability and GPS really killed it for me. Also, data kept just stopped working sometimes. Stupid little bugs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly, I've slowly warmed up to my SGS2 but slowly. I hate that it doesn't have CM7 solid and stable as my G2. TouchWiz does ok. It wins for reliability. I've tried to trade it. But really there isn't any better phones out there on T-Mobile. HTC One doesn't sway me because no memory expansion.
Right now I'm slowly moving all my personal data and info from the CM7 to Stock 2.3.3 on my G2X. Going stock for a while and away from CM7 based ROMS. Its a hate/love relationship on the phone. If it were solid and stable as the G2, I wouldn't have gotten the SGS2.

I think everyone should just be patient, not bite the bullet for the Galaxy Nexus, and wait till June for T-Mobile to put out the S3!
Patience FTW.

Time to get some big boy pants

I love it too. I use my phone a lot for browsing the web too, and the GN makes it a lot better. Nice screen, and flash doesn't lag on the web unlike on the G2x.
But saying the S2 is better and Nexus is a fail is quite wrong. There's still no official ICS for the TMO S2... And that big screen with such low res looks ugly to me. I'm sure Whitehawkx and Roman left that phone for the Nexus for those same reasons.
But the G2x is awesome in it's own ways. I liked it as much as everyone else here with the G2x.

True, and a better phone than the T-Mo GS2 would be Sprints or At&t's, as they have the Exynos CPU.
And none yet unfortunately, its arriving tomorrow. Any recommendations?

When the Galaxy Note/SGSIII hits Tmo, and the price is reasonable, I'll prob jump ship...
Maybe jumping ship around Aug... Or maybe if LG gave us a half decent release of ICS, I'll stay. Wub u all <3
