So...

So who is going to buy the new phones when at&t releases them, or be like me and wait about 6 months to see what else pops up?

Why are we working on 2.2
Why not 2.2.1 or 2.3

Sorry to be blunt, but there is numerous threads about this.

Thats so long though; I got the captivate last july(?) And i can upgrade right noW. The Atrix and dock are very tempting but theyre going ti announce some good stuff at MWC. I just hope to god they take a note from Apple and have the phones ready to ship within a month or so.

For three reasons mostly, to see the good of the phones, the bad, if they will get updated, and what new phones are planned.

these two posts = thumbs up.
the question is. when to stop waiting? its either now or never imo
oh, and thumbs down to the thread title. its very unimformative, it could be about the world ending or about a new cat you just got... i cant tell by the title.

I agree. Please title your threads appropriately OP. "So...." is a title that should get you banned for a week.

If you know that AT&T is going to release better products down the road (and you do, if you're thinking about waiting 6 or so months) then you have to decide whether or not its worth it to get an HSPA+ phone or wait for the inevitable LTE devices to rear their heads. Personally, I'm thinking of getting an Inspire 4G retail when they're launched as a birthday present to me from me, and then possibly using my upgrade later on when an LTE device shows up. It's all a matter of whether it's worth the wait to you.

i used my update on my craptivate with my 2.1dumpdate1. if it wasnt for you devs then i would be pissing on samsungs doorstep right now. i think ill either get the atrix or a nexus s since dev phones are about the only thing guarunteed to get the latest stuff. paying full price anyway. id like to see motorola drop a high powered device like the atrix but wrap it up all tanky like the defy.

Exactly. See, I already have the Captivate now which, although won't be the best thing on the market soon, is still a damn good phone and @ 1.28ghz it keeps up just nicely with the best if them.
I have an upgrade and the question now is; what do I get? Since the Atrix was a flop (pricing and required tethering) im definitely waiting for MWC to see whats coming; the new Samsung phone should be great.

Amazing Phone - First Impressions

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.

T-mobile has the best customer service of all the time. I called today and I was 9 month into my contract with 3 vibrants on my account. I was offered new g2x and renewing my contract. I told them that other lines dont care about this phone but they might be interested in some phones that are soon to be released. 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?

Nevermind...

I read multiple posts about the Sensation having a locked boot loader. I dont know how long it would take devs to get around it but it might be problem at first for a while. I would also would like to see a real world comparisson with G2x.

lol that would be funny. Im from nyc

The sound is incredible, both in call and external. I was amazed how loud and clear it is.
Great phone thus far except I'm burning the battery much too quickly.

Should I buy a G2x?

Should I buy a G2x or buy the Sensation 4G for $40 more? This is the only phone within my budget right now thats dual core, I wish I could get the Galaxy S2 but its nowhere to be found for less than $500 and I dont wanna spend that much.

And is the screen bleed issue appears at a later time or is it there from the beginning? I will look for it when buying but is it a possibility that it could appear at a later time?
Whats a good price for the phone?

Dnt make a mistake by buying g2x no ics update for it

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I recommend going to the store, checking out both phones and going from there. Both phones have their issues and positives, so it comes done to which one is more of your liking.
Also I would think there is a higher possibility of the Sensation getting ICS than the G2X so that is def a plus for Sensation.
Good luck.
Hercules Hercules!!

I would get the SGS2 because its newer and it will more than likely get the ICS update. The G2x is a bada$$ phone but if you are looking for the most up to date phone I would get the SGS2.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

I'm with the guy above me, I love my G2X but I wouldn't recommend any LG product to anyone at this point.

1) How much would you be spending on the G2X?
2) It's a very powerful, fast phone -- it does have a few software quirks and GPS lock-on isn't the fastest I've seen. Mod ROMs may be helpful.
3) Battery life has been quite good since the Gingerbread update.
4) The G2X may still get ICS from LG as stock, there has been absolutely no announcement regarding it not getting updated and it's just a mass assumption right now since, well, it's LG. Ignore the FUD, though it would be nice if LG would just say yes or no.

You guys don't say why you wouldn't buy it though? I'm getting it for $220 USED but mint condition.
I simply cannot spend 2x that amount for the Galaxy S2, I don't think its worth two times as much especially the Tmobile one with the crappy 1.5ghz Snapdragon processor.

My opinion is... Dont support LG (because they wont support you), buy it used or dont buy it at all

Im buying it used not from the store, thats why its $220... I would pay $220 for the SGS2 but it wont be for that price for atleast another year.

hopefully you don't get one of those that has a faulty chipset, where little to no matter what you do, your phone will reboot, get hot while charging, get frozen on black screen while attempting to wake the phone (screen of death), insane back light bleed... buying this phone used is seriously a shot in the dark as you won't be bale to actually test things out and then be able to return it... I love mine cause I don't have these issues. Others went through 3 or more before they got a good one or just gave up. Good luck to you.

I can't perform any tests to make sure its not a lemon?

Put your sim in phone and try some GPS. see how long it takes. Also see what baseband its on. Far as reboot issues mine has been 100% flawless and I got it used as well. You can't really test the reboot issues unless it does it right off the bat.

if you're looking to flash stuff, getting a tablet that you can hack may not be a bad idea.

i found that the replacement for my Infuse is my Blackberry Torch. I still have my Infuse use it probably one day out of the week. I also got an iPhone, but that's to fit in with the trends. LOL.

I replaced my infuse with a Nokia E71 from Straight Talk as my main phone (I don't even know how it happened, I guess the 3 day battery life was enticing) But I know how you feel. Have you looked at the Samsung Captivate Glide? Not much better in terms of specs, but it at least has a hard keyboard for texting which is pretty cool.
I love my Xperia Play too (waits for flame war) But it's nothing really special. It's just good for NES and SNES roms really

i have been looking at the lumina 900 a lot lol not sure why never had a WP i think thats why i like it so much

The ST E71 SIM works Great in your Infuse

id probably take you up on that but i know i wouldnt get enough money for a new phone.

60% of the smart phone users dont need a smart phone, they dont even come close to its capabilities.. All they do is games, youtube, fb...lmfao, dont waste your money.. its all the same ..

What to say to customer support.

Is there something i can say is wrong with my phone to get it replaced with a DIFFERENT phone. Its just a theoretical question I dont hate my phone but I need a "backup plan".

? what exactly is wrong with your phone. I'm using phoenix blood ROM and I love this phone. Its so smooth and i can do everything i need to do. even people with iphone are jealous.

you guys needa quit being so moralistic with these corporations they screwed us on this phone multiple times and tmobile was trying to pack up and dip on us anyway and hand us over to ATnT so if the dude wants what he paid for what he thinks he deserves let him do it not like LG or Tmobile are going to go bankrupt from it or even care that one dude beat the system .. if anything i hope you do beat the system and get it cause they're some grimmey people for real

See I have nothing wrong with my phone. My phone runs great on weapon and faux's kernal. My mothers phone is being buggy though, or either she is technologically deficient. I also was hoping that the phone i was going to get was going to be supported for a while considering the fantastic specs. Anyway alot can happen in 2 years. We are most likely to see an ics port.

Agreed. You're robbed on a monthly basis from TMo. My line on a family plan is $60 a month for services that literally cost the company nothing. They could charge a fraction of that price and still make a profit margin > 100%. On top of that, TMo tried to dump a faulty device on their customers knowing full-well it had hardware problems. Don't feel bad; take everything you can from corporations and don't look back. They would (and DO) do the same to you.

I've had my share of bad experience with my G2X. Recently on kang's nightlies, I notice gps locks instantly. I've been very happy with my phone for a long time.
My one issue still remains, and its emails on stock app don't sync after 10 hours. If I can find a fix i'd be happy and giddy.
I am pretty sure the email issue doesn't exist on stock cooked 2.3.3 roms but I'm too accustomed to cm7 and the built in notifications. I refer cm7.
There are black screen of death I get but, I get by. Email just drives me mad.

More support for this phone either from T-Mobile or LG will be great. Can't complain now that I'm running BP n supercharger v6 nothing is wrong. Maybe GPS not locking fast enough but is way better than an iPhone.... can't say that I don't want ics cuz i do.... btw if u do get to beat the system I'd like to know how. Cuz I'm 1 month away from leaving T-Mobile and refuse to get 2 yr contract with them
