Hey everyone I am new to this forum and man it has alot of good infos. I have a nexus one and now planning to get a new phone and g2x caught my attention as i saw alot of them going for cheap on craigslist. I was wondering how G2x is in terms of reliabilty? I did come across alot of people complaining about the phone rebooting itself and some other issues. So i was just curious if it would be a better upgrade to a nexus one Thanks
After installing Custom ROMS and Kernels, the G2x is sweet.
but its six of one, half a dozen of the other...
Doing so will technically void the warranty on your new phone (if used, pffffsssshhhtt...install to your hearts content). But doing so will also make it run so awesome, youd prolly never need to file warranty claim.
Also when done right, it is fully reversible back to "stock" should you need to send it in.
Thanks to xda members and staff, the tool set for flashing the g2x is solid, well documented, and damn near full proof against permanent bricking.

Nice thats what I was hoping for. I want to get an used one so I guess using the custom roms should be ok for me. Will look around the market a little more for some and look around here for more infos on roms and stuff as I am fairly new here .
i picked up a 2nd very clean (like new) g2x off ebay for 180. With all the new devices rolling out, last years models are going cheaper. also keep in mind, TMO is having huge sale the 11th
http://bit.ly/A5eQDW
Everything "free", if you sign new or re-up contract, and do MIR. TMO will often offer the g2x free as a web only deal. keep checking if you want new.
Wow you got a deal on ebay, they usually go higher than that. Yea I checked those phones looks like they are giving the g2x for free too. I was thinking about getting one for free and get a two year contract but they told me that I got to get a new plan for that too which kind of sucks. Right now paying 79$ for 1500 mins unlimited text+10$ web2go(1 line) for 4 lines which I think is an ok deal hate to see this one go. I am out of contract too.
G2x great phone. Craigslist problems. Too many post from people purchasing from Cragslist and the phone not working or being blacklisted. You should do face time with seller and phone before making payment.
Or just buy a nexus s on Craigslist, way better imho, specially coming from n1

They're blacklisted when reported stolen. I would put your SIM card in the phone and make a phone call, send an SMS, and test data before you buy it.

ive had both and i can tell you that the nexus s is way better, just look at all the posts in there respective forums and that should tell you right away, look at all the g2x owners who say "nvidea never again" plus custom/roms/options/and the fact they EOL'd the g2x...nuff said...you own a nexus one so it should be a no brainer to stay with the nexus line...

Dont get Nexus s, my wife has it. While it is a pretty good phone, g2x IS better. Nvidia had released all the drivers, ics isnt that big of a deal, i had to install cm7 on that phone because stock ics had bugs.

Go for sensation.
The software support of G2x is sub-par. And HTC with unlocked bootloader makes XDA devs life even more easier.
I'd go for g2x. Dust under screen is a big problem with sensation
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
i need to get 3 phones total (1 for me 2 for parents) dropping 600 is kinda out of my price range. Do you think 2 50 year olds will notice the problems with the g2x if i flash it with one of the nicer roms from here? (they still have a samsung tsomething dumb phone)
Might get a sensation for myself and g2xes for them. What do yall think?

I have both, for people who are not as tech savvy get the Sensation if possible. Sense is annoying for us but it is much easier to use than stock Android.
Also the G2X with GB is still a bug plagued mess. If you flash with CM7 or something might be fine - problem is if they get SOD and don't realize it - no one will be able to reach them. Make sure if you get them G2Xs, you train them on how to remove the battery to restart - will be doing that often..
I have both phones, tend to prefer the g2x over the sensation as did my parents
kept the g2x for myself though as i can tinker around with it and i found sense to be a bit bloated, but thats just me
has anyone tried the offical gingerbread on g2x yet? reboot still an issue?
I'm running it now. No reboots or freezes or any problems so far with me. I never really had any problems in the first place. I'd go with a g2x if I were you. Sensation and g2x both have issues...

And yet another nail in the coffin for my G2X resale value.
G2x about 300 to 375 on ebay....Sensation about 375-425, given the amount of returns for dust under the screen on the sensation, the refurbs have not hit the market yet....much more G2x's with screen returns that need no rework to send back out.....give the reworked Sensations a bit more time and the price of both will be near the same.
oh wait, your sig....tell me you did not get rid of the sensation....say it ain't so
I have another one on the way.

Nope cause I canceled the data plan on the other line and just moved it to the new line... now I will have 3 lines, 2 g2xs with data plans and the other a cheap flip phone without.. Before I had a g2x with data and a crappy flip phone with data cause her vibrant broke so the flip was temporary, but now where just moving the data plan from her flip to the g2x and that now will be her primary phone..
Well I upgraded to the sgsII. But I have mixed feelings about what to do with my trusty cappy. No one in my family wants it and none of my friends around here have atnt...
I dont know if I should sell it or keep it as a backup. It seems like just a waste to leave it sitting around in the box. Besides it's basically a brand new phone (2 week old 11.02 built/refurb) Never has been messed with. (Roms) No blemishes or marks at all. No sleep death or gps issues. I just got it replaced due to a crappy gps.
Should I be able to get at least $200 for it if I got the ebay route? I have everything it came with plus a otter box commuter.

Does it mean they fixed GPS issues in newer/refurb captivates? Could you confirm what build is safe, or what to look for? I might pick one up for mom.
same situations except mines is older. mine just sits on my desk. thinking about using it like an ipod touch or something. how much would this go for anyway if we were to sell? no one has answered that except to give it to them for free.

Sorry man they run around 150-200ish. Yours with case prolly 180. Wasn't stallin or beggin just figured you could checkout ebay and craigslist yourself to find out what they are selling for.

sides most of us was suggesting someone we have no personal contact with or knowledge of other than the excellent work done to make the captivate a better phone,,and done without one
ebay is your best bet.

It's a refurb that I got 2 weeks before this posting. 10.12 built.
Ive been trying ebay with a $200 buy it now. comes with everything, and a otterbox commuter etc.
Only people that seem to be bidding are from Russia, Ukrian. They have fake ebay accounts with us address but they cannot checkout thru a non us paypal. It' seems to be a 99% scam. I might post it here in the market if this continues to happen. I hate it. I even have like size 7 font in red telling them not to bid etc lol
I would really love to see a developer that makes a media player rom. Basically what I'm thinking of is an ipod touch like u.i. so I can keep my cappy around as an awesome storage device/mp3 player/wifi only browser after my upgrade.

There is a thread somewhere that does that very thing. I think it was called Captivate Touch.
Just give it to LOSTLOGIC. All in favor?
talk to josh from mobile tech videos. he was looking for a captivate a while back to do videos with. im sure you guys could come to some kind of agreement.
Google through some company named GfK, have sent me some random letter to my house saying I have been randomly chosen to participate in random testing concerning the way I use TV, Smart phones, Computers and tablets with benefits and a tiny little payout..They also included a REAL $2 bill as "incentive" I guess. They don't know that I own any of this so I assume they "maybe" would be sending me these things. (I already own 2 Xooms, A Kindle Fire, 2 laptops and 5 Android smartphones but how would they KNOW this?). Just kinda odd and random I guess.
Anyone else got one of these or can provide me with more details as to what it is? has anyone here ever done one of these and what is it? i'm uncomfortable with it because it was random. So I thought I'd ask my homies here on XDA.
I did Google and find this too. http://www.google.com/landing/screenwisepanel/
I attached a copy of the letter.

Hey Freshly_Snipes, this is a interesting little letter you have received. I am going to keep up with this thread, please keep us all up to date with what becomes of this.
Sucks we can't sign up to get the black box anymore, cause that would of been perfect. Honestly, unless you're a terrorist, child pervert/sexual predator. There is no reason not to sign up.
Not sure how one gets on these lists, but I have gotten letters like this from time to time for other tech companies (usually they come with a $5 bill, lol). They are legit but usually require more effort than their merger pay out is worth. You must track and report a lot of info (sometimes you even allow them to do the tracking via certain devices), giving out a lot of private data in the process and spending a bit of time to do it. I usually pocket the $5 (in this case apparently its $2) and move on with my life.

I've been thinking about this for a while now. I'm keeping my g2x until the new nexus phones come out, and then sticking to pure nexus phones from Google. I'm sick of waiting for venders and carriers to work together for releases, and I'm sick of crap that carriers add to phones which is useless and slows them down. I normally root my phone and install CM on it anyway, but with the g2x even that isn't a 100% working solution anymore.
By the way, I read that Google is releasing up to 5 different nexus phones from different vendors around Thanksgiving this year. I'd wait for that!

No, in fact if you search up my previous post, my G2X, is one of the few that has zero flaws.
I'm jumping ship because the Sensation has more Dev support. (Really a lot of dev) They recently got official CM9.

I'm almost positive this was towards me, and well... ok. Maybe if people actually searched or didn't make retarded threads I wouldn't be, I help when help is needed (as in if someone searches and posts in an already created thread like these ones.

I searched for 10 seconds and found both of these. It's pointless to make a thread like this, especially with the OP's statement, does he want a cookie for wanting a sensation? Lastly OP my interest is not to stock what you have said in other threads, if you make a new thread make it worthwhile to read for the community, not something useless and informative.
Hey XDA I just had Chipotle, and added way too much Cholula to it.
If you're gonna jump ship, just do it.
The community for the G2x has been flawless, but I have seen the future, and I left it for the GS II. Man, they're a live one over there. Everyone's awesome and welcoming; a bit impatient at times when they ask for ROM updates (lol smh), but generally nice people.
Now all the devs here are a capable bunch, and they've managed to do what LG/T-Mobile/Nvidia couldn't do. I've said this time and time again. But without those 3 giving this phone even half of the effort, we suffer ultimately. In Driver support, Camera support, ICS support, annoying bugs going unfixed. The devs have to pick up all the slack, and that sucks. I left because of the circumstances that those 3 have put us in, and I'd say it's a fair assessment.
But if you're gonna jump ship, I suggest you don't do it for whoever gets ICS first. There's no way I would have gone to the Sensation, too many hoops to jump through, S-OFF, bootloader, etc. That phone's pretty thick too, not enough internal memory either (Nice camera though). Jump when you decide your time here has come to an end, when you have felt like you can enjoy this phone no longer, or if you feel you just need an upgrade/better spec'd phone. I believe those are valid reasons, as well as explanations that don't tick off the rest of the community. x) Cheers on your future smartphone endeavors!
ya i was on the same boat when the phone came out but meh there is a lot of things that i love about this brick lol but mind you the galaxy S3 is coming out so i might go out and buy one of those this summer
Just jump already
It all depends on what you want the phone to do for you... and what you are willing to do for the phone!

previously owned the sensation and I believe that the g2x is way smoother and feels better in the hands, though the dev community over there is rocking
Really? G2X feels better in the hand? I got to try it out at the store, been looking to get my hands on a sensation off craigslist for a good price, probably trade for my GS2.
I'm sentimental with my devices, also, have lots of back NANDROIDS of the G2X and need to get my data out of them before selling it. Actually thats the only reason I still hang on to my G2X. Too lazy to move my stuff out of it. I can, just don't feel like it.
Just saw the news about it on CNBC ... is that mean they are not gonna ship Note 7 anymore for us still waiting?

Be great to make and sign a petition making samsung give us 1st dibs on the next product that comes out if we still wanna stay as a Samsung user. I know that's just a pipe dream but I feel Samsung is going to lose a lot of business from here on out over all this bad battery issue. I do feel that for the money the performance could ha enough been better. I mean coming from the Note 3 its a big jump yes in some areas but feel it should have been a bit more. Expecially when I hear the s7 has a bigger battery, same processor, cam etc. .
To the general public consumers this is gonna hurt samsung image. Apple is gonna have a field day with this mess. Samsung took the cheap route fixing the issue and now it's gonna bite them in the ass . Hopefully prices drop for all there devices. I would power the phone down every night when i had it. I got a full refund and went back to my note 5. Hopefully people be smart and exchange the device or get a refund don't wanna see anyone die from a fire over a phone issuse that they could avoid. I love the phone but it's not worth it.

Sprint officially announced that customers should return to their closest store for an exchange or refund.

I dont know what to do either. No other phone out right now that I truly love and this Note 7 has exceeded my expectations in certain areas. Ridiculously enough I am considering simply keeping mine but I do not like to think it may be dangerous. Will check out the HTC 10 and maybe exchange. If I decided to keep it does anyone think Sprint/Samsung will attempt to FORCE me somehow to return it? I'm still using the original note 7 and got it the 3rd or 4th day after they first came out and have had zero issues. Use it throughout the day. I never leave the room if its charging just as a precaution. It would be helpful to know how long the people were using their phones before the batteries exploded and also what their usage patterns were.

I got mine the day before they announced the recall and quit selling them. And I've been considering keeping mine too. The only time I ever felt it get warm was when I used another charger than what came with it. I don't play games on it or run any weird software either. I bet if you `have even half a brain this is a non issue. Mine took the update by itself last week too so root is off the table now and I doubt too many dev's are going to waste much time on this one now since samsung is trying to kill it. What I'm thinking is I need root and a custom rom without the nag screen and my battery capacity returned and just ignore this recall crap.
I should have rooted it when I had the chance... That's what I get.

That's the unusual part. There was no pattern. From what I read, this affected heavy and light users. Also, some of the phones were charging, some were not and some were in pockets. There were at least 2 cases of phones being in pockets and the men got 3rd degree burns. I highly recommend everyone exchanging the phone.
It gets even worse if true.......

Mine is rooted, wifi tether installed, and all customized already. This REALLY SUCKS! After watching videos of the note catching fire and doing some more research I have concluded I really don't feel safe with it. Apparently it happens randomly no matter how long you've had the phone. Sigh.
I just doubt my odds of having a bad note 7 are that good, i think i have a better chance of hitting the lottery in some cases

Don't risk it folks ,the phone just is not safe there all defected . If you keep it please don't get on a plane just my luck one of you would be on the same plane as me with that fire stick. They won't be doing refunds forever. The s7 edge is not bad at all.

They can't force you to do anything - but they'll also be completely off the hook if your house burns down with your family inside, etc
I will probably take my chances.. think i have higher chances of my gf burning house down when she cooks
I would keep mine as well but since it will be discontinued, i dont think updates will be coming out. As well as development here. Devs will probably jump to a new device
