selling my G2x to buy Xperia neo v because of good support of sony and already ics on it.. is it a wise decision to go to single core after using a dual core??
Dude I would stick with G2x Sony sucks!!!!

First of all, I would definitely recommend sticking to the G2x. Ics isn't THAT big of a deal, plus we've already got AMAZING devs here at xda that are very close to having almost perfect builds of ics ready for us.

Stick with your g2x for now. Our gb rom's are flawless and ics will be here sooner than later.

i am buying Xperia ray a decent specs mobile with ics and not too much xpensive.. the main reason of selling g2x is very bad camera quality no future support not good audio .. heats up .. etc otherwise its a good set

eHow does the camera suck? Who cares about ics? There's at least 5 different builds here. I beg to differ on the cores being utilized efficiently, now with the update everything runs pretty efficiently. Battery life will show that. Its so hard having grown up in the 1970's -1980's to understand how younger generations appreciate nothing and expect perfection. It has to do with the internets. When I got my Atari 2600 in 1980, I was sooooo happy with it. There was no forum to chew the Developers asses. Not to mention, its just rude. Could you imagine the 2600 being released today? 90% of ya would kill yourselves.

Well for one I care about the "benchmark shizz"
But its always been about how the phone runs. That's why they invented benchmark programs to score each phones performance so you can compare how the hardware/software combination you are using performs. Using that tool you can actually get a tangable number for each setup you run therefore giving you the higher number for higher performance. So think about what you say before you go contradicting yourself in public.

Why F*ck numbers? Pretty sure binary is numbers..... you got a bad attitude.

This just proves my point. Phones are like graphics cards. Every 6 months they double the power.
I'd wait for the sgs2 but look at that Hercules.
I've decided the g2x will do until next years tax return. By then ill get that damn monster.
Or a new quad core
Or just keep the g2x.
After 2 cores I'm not sure it matters.

The Infuse isn't dual core is it?
The Hercules uses a Dual-Core snapdragon similar to the Sensation @ 1.2Ghz. It isn't faster then the Tegra 2, but if it comes with an unlockable bootloader it might be the Sensation-Done-Right.... doubt it though. HTC is locking down all their phones.

I just did a lot of research why the Sensation is going to be a bad choice over the G2x.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13900588
The Tegra 2 stomps it in both CPU and GPU. The HDMI/microUSB MHL connection won't charge the phone unless the TV has an MHL connection, which sucks cause no TV's support that yet. And comes with an encrypted bootloader. All reference links are in the above thread.

More than likely you will just see the key leaked earlier on the sensation.

Yes the sensation will be unlocked. Well the keys given out.
But the sensation is clearly suffering from older tech. How does a 1ghz dual core in the g2x outperform a 1.2 ghz in the sensation?
Especially when the g2x is running foyo and the sensation is running gingerbread.
Has all these people who want to ditch the g2x even researched the 2?
The g2x is in fact the better phone.
They raised the price because the only thing your getting better on the sensation is the screen.
And thats debatable.

For those of you who don't know the sensation uses an arm a8 processor and the g2x uses a arm a9, even though the sensation is clocked higher it still doesn't match up to the g2x its like an i7 vs i5.

Same here, I remember thinking about getting the Sensation but then came along the G2x which is a beast. Second best phone coming out this year, have to give an edge to the GS II just because of the 4.3 inch SUPER AMOLED PLUS screen and it's dual core 1.2GHz processor that hits 3100+.........besides that both phones are just as good as each other. Oh and mind you the G2x isn't running GB yet which means those 2500-2800 quadrant scores should be around 3000 as well.

I think the bulk of the persons who are choosing the Sensation over the G2x may be those who got fed up with the bum G2x's out there that have the constant locking up or rebooting problems. I personally have gone through 3 of them and was ready to explode over the matter...
Yes yes, I know, "I have one and I haven't had any of those problems" - good for you - you're one of the lucky ones. For us who have experienced it with multiple phones, well, lets just say that we have been left with a bad taste in our mouths.

I have had experience with the Ascend phone which is a low end prepaid phone and I got to say at the time it released I think aside from a problem with the usb port (which evo 4gs at the time had) the build quality was decent and non-xda devs had it cooking with cm7
vanilla android was nice and with the decent dev support it had that low end phone was keeping up with more powerful phones.
that sounds amazing, but i doubt most people here would upgrade until they put a processor as fast as a i7 in teh phones

My apologies, guess I've read wrong! Anyways it seems like a great chip, but it still needs to catch up to arm power efficiency... and arm has plans for a 20nm process later this year and 14nm the next year... It will be very interesting to see how Intel plays its hand in the mobile phone realm!

Hello,
I am one of many who has a grandfathered Virgin Mobile $25 plan that though we had no hope other than the hopeless Triumph.
Due to a wrinkle in their roll out, the Elite became available, and through tomorrow or the next day, can be added on a grandfathered $25 plan.
Having said that, I bought one to replace my Optimus V and would dearly love at least Root for it.
MetroPCS has released the Optimus M+ which is basically the same phone so there are two economy but pretty nice phones that could use some love from the wonderful hacker community.
Thanks for asking!

BTW, the phone is $129 at Best Buy, $149 MSRP and Walmart.
The GPS is better than the OV one which was very good. The phone is a little taller, but 1/3 thinner vs. the chunky OV.
The phone has WAY more RAM for the user so the slightly faster processor seems way faster than it really is. I had the IFO ROM for mine, and even with some tweaks, the Elite is way better stock than the OV was tweaked.
What you lose is the WiFi hotspot feature which came with my OV. The applications want to go to internal memory (another 4GB) vs. the SD, but at least you don't lose your programs if you swap the SIM.
Having the NFC/Wallet feature is a cool bonus.
So far the bigger screen, although only .3, it seems like much more.
Battery life has been stupendous for me...way kewl!
Thanks for all that great info! How is the screen quality? Is it clear vs. The optimus v?

They didn't increase the resolution so it is the same pixels stretched over a bigger space but looks fine. I don't use my phone for media, but no complaints here.
*****************
One more day to get an Elite on your grandfathered $25 plan!!
Ok how about the quality, is the durablility of the phone good? Hopefully a lot of people here will buy this phone so we can at least get some dev support, have you rooted your phone yet?

Durability is measured over time and there has been no time with the phone yet. Looks like any other phone to me. I haven't found a method yet to root it, have you?

Hiya... I think the build quality from all the major companies is good. It is usually the lower quality companies building cheaper phones, like the complaints about light leaks and other issues with the Triumph (made by Huawei?).
I don't know of anyone who has had a phone fall apart in their pocket. What matters more to me is the capabilities, like the strength of the GPS/cell radios, etc. which all seem fine.
Triumph is made by motorola, I heard about that as well, hey thanks for input

It is marketed by Motorola, not made by Motorola, nor is the iPhone made by Apple. They are both made by FoxConn, but in the case of the Triumph, via HuaWei or whatever it is called. See the forum topic on this site about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205658
Just like at one time there were only 5 brands of gas in the US, regardless of where you bought it or what the sign said.
What it really comes down to is these companies go to places like FoxConn and tell them they want a million of something and get a quote. Then they start dickering on substituting cheaper parts, or adding goodies on to bring the price up or down. HuaWei can put in an order with FoxConn and by having a company like Motorola order piggyback on their order, they could bring down the cost for both companies branded phone.
wow i didnt no that! thanks again for your great info I learn something new everyday
LG Optimus Elite is really 1GHZ, not 800mhz
Had a surprise when checking the system settings on the phone. Went into Quadrant and lo and behold, the phone has been overclocked to 1ghz. I didn't see this mentioned anywhere else yet??
That can explain how it is snappier than what you would expect for an increase from 600 of the OV to 800 of the Elite, when in reality it is really 1ghz.
Wow that's crazy! is that a mistake?

Use antutu benchmark, quadrant seems to be giving you false info

Well....it just gives me the information differently, same net result:
"CPU frequency:
245.76 ~ 1024.0 MHz"
That is still 1GHz to me????
Do you have a third way to check now that Quadrant and Antutu both report 1 GHz?
Try CPU benchmark, there's no way the phone would come overclocked, that's why I think maybe the benchmarks think it is overclocked when its not

New LG Optimus Elite
My new Elite arrived today and I have to admit I am quite impressed! I have been working on rooting it all afternoon with no success, but will share should I succeed.
