I have been waiting for a me batch to do a replacement, so I called today and asked for a new batch replacement. He told me that they were sold out but I could get a new unit, everything included like the battery and box for a replacement from the manufacturer. He put in the order and it was already shipped by ups with tracking numbers. Also I have two replacements coming, so this is exciting. The rep did say that yes there were problems with the current batch and that a new one was coming,i just got lucky because I specifically asked for a new batch. Hope this helps clear up some questions. I will update once I get them to see if they are better.

That would be impossible in practical world.
Let us know production date
Yeah, let us know how it turns out. I'm still holding on to mine before I get a replacement through Asurion, i'll have to ask for one from a new batch as well...

Did you call T-Mobile or LG? Reason why I'm asking is that it seems like my USB port is broke on the phone. I bought it at cellhub and T-Mobile won't exchange it. Can I call LG directly??

If you didn't purchase the phone from T-Mobile, they wouldn't exchange it. You'd need to contact cellhub or LG.
I'm not sure which one to go with anymore. A fixed G2x with no lcd bleed sounds pretty enticing, but then there's the Sensation with the possibility of root on day one.. and Kal-El is on the way this winter. Android just isn't slowing down, lol.
sensation having root on day one is possible but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you
Highly doubt this! I'm not doubting that you were told this but doubting the fact you'll get a phone from a new batch. I spoke to MANY T-mobile employees over the phone when asking for a replacement and I even asked for a new one from a new batch and they told me that unfortunately I get whatever is in the warehouse and there was no way to ensure this or specify what I'd like...
I understand that what the rep told me might or might not be true. But it sounded like t-mobile put the order through lg. T-mobile them selves do not have any phones,i am aware of that, but the processing was fast and I already have a tracking number. I am hopeful but not foolish. I will let u guys know as soon as it comes what the date on it is. The rep said that it will be a new phone not a refurbished one. is there any other way of knowing how the device would be from a new batch?

Same here. One even told me there was no way to get a refurbished one since it hasn't been out that long. I told her that was a complete lie and that I know of other people who got re-ferbs. Seems like every time I get told a lie or someone tries to roll my loyalty plan into a new plan it is by a female. No I just hang up and keep calling back until I get someone who sounds like myself. It might sound racist but it's the god damn truth.

Even I've gotten refurbished devices on several different occasions... I'm a female but in all honesty when I'm talking to the female t-mobile reps they seem to want to argue with me... I have however encountered a few good reps... I try to remain open minded but I have hung up on a few reps the dang "Chatty Cathy's" that think they know so much and wont shut up!

Seriously, I am really not trying to be a bigot, racist or sexist. I have encountered a couple females that knew what they were talking about and I didn't mean to lump all of the females in the same boat. What I really meant to say would come off racist but here goes anyway. As soon as I here a voice from a female that sounds like she's straight out of the ghetto I will hang up and call back. If the person sounds educated I will remain on the line and give them a chance.

Its almost impossible to contact LG. Look at their site no real links or tabs for warranty or contact on their main page.
When I needed to contact HTC for a warranty issue it was quick with an email tab- they got back to me the next business day.

Sorry, but you must not have looked very closely on their site. I went directly to lg.com, saw a link that said support (on the left), clicked on that, and saw a link for mobile phone support, clicked on that, and there are options for live chat, email or telephone support, all on the page. That took me about 5 seconds. Here is the link:
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/mobile-support/mobile-lg-mobile-phone-support.jsp
I thought I killed my G2x Tuesday and ordered a replacement. It was a refurb I guess (in a white box). It had really bad screen bleed so I just mailed it back.
I got my original one working anyway.

You are right. I got an RMA # from them now via chat. I have a own thread open for it now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096710
Only problem I'm facing now is that the phone is rooted and has ClockWorkMod installed. I can put the stock image back on and do a factory reset/format. But I will not be able to unroot or put stock recovery back on without USB. You think it's worth to send it in?

Apparently, Tmobile is stating that the replacement unit will still have the same issues, so they are not replacing them anymore fro any reason.
Yep, I called last week and was told no replacement and about the MT4G. I don't want a MT4G, I want a G2X that works or my money back and contract cancelled.
You read the tweet wrong. Tmonews isn't breaking a story, they're commenting on what they heard and that once again T-Mobile and LG are silent.

I became tired of the run around and retained an attorney.
My attorney has notified LGUSA of my issues, and we are awaiting their response.
We are prepared to take legal action against LGUSA.
Unfortunately, there is nothing at this point that can be done against T-Mobile because of a recent US Supreme Court ruling concerning class action lawsuits.
The attorney that I have retained is the same attorney who currently has a class action lawsuit against Samsung for a similar situation.

Very simple, attorneys that take these cases ask for no retainer. It cost me nothing to do, except a little time, a few phone calls, a few emails...
I did it because I understand the difference between right and wrong, and T-Mobile and LG have acted inappropriately here.
I dont expect to ever personally gain anything from my efforts, but LG should be held responsible for the phone they have sold us.
this makes no sense because i was just sent a replacement g2x after a chat session with a rep today she offered me a mytouch 4g but i declined that and went with a replacement g2x. so idk about not replacing it anymore

The Norma Ray-esque idea of "sticking it to the man" is certainly something that makes me smile. And you'll never find me defending LG - they deserve a special place in hell for all the unresolved grief they've caused. But, as someone just said, when is it time to pull the ripcord? I lost serveral hundred dolllars dumping the G2X and leaving T-Mobile but my time and sanity made it worth it to me. Good luck if you decide to see it threw but remember the old adage - "would you rather be right or rather be happy?"

I think you'll see alot of those things around are basically...alot to do about nothing. Some one on XDA commented a week or so ago about replacements for G2x's for issues that cannot be fixed in a replacement, will be stopped. Late last week, or perhaps this weekend, some commented that replacements for screen bleed were now included.
Some body reads it....another Sensationalist blogger site hears about it, someone tweets it, next thing you know...we have a revolution going on.

It would appear that they feel they can say anything as long as they attribute it to a "ninja." To go from a second-hand tweet to a cover story without any investigation in between doesn't speak well to their integrity.
I just called and have a replacement coming tomorrow because I keep getting screen bleeding replacements so I feel like this is a false rumor....hopefully I get a good screen next time!
And honestly ...the screen bleed really isn't that bad but its the principle of the matter and getting your moneys worth when you buy a phone ....especially off contract like me.
I know there are good units out- my first ones screen bleed was barely there at all but I had USB issues with it, all the replacements I've gotten afterwards have had worse screen bleeds than the first but no other issues whatsoever....this reallly is a great phone just wish LG would own up to their mistakes and support the customers but can't always get what you want ....if worse comes to worse I can live with my current unit if the one they send me is worse.

Working wifi? my wifi works perfectly fine I use it daily... my point is the Sensation has less issues than the G2x does... no phone is perfect but the G2x let me down BIG TIME
I have no reason to lie, a week ago last Saturday I called customer support and was told that I could not exchange my phone via warranty because all of the phones have the same issue. I thought I was the only one at first.

Did you do it within either the 14 or 30 day windows or afterward?
I had to replace my G2X due to physical damage. Now, every phone being sent to me from T-Mobile because of issues such as GPS not working, dropping calls, constant reboots, ends up with yet another broken phone. Their answer is to send me out a new phone day after day...or... lol... send me a G2!? They must be high.

No one? Not one phone has had bad screen-bleed until I got this one. To those that mocked others for "exaggerating" how bad it can be, shut your face. This is HORRID. The upper left corner of my screen is the same color as the grey USB connection notification in CM7.

I was one of the lucky ones to get a Sensation and keep the G2X while still remaining out of contract. I posted my story about 6 weeks ago. You can find it by looking through my history.
I talked to a guy in retention after I exchanged for my 4th one. I was pissed off and wanted a different device and the representative offered a Galaxy S 4G but immediately stated it was not a comparative device since it wasn't dual core. He went on to tell me if I wait until next Thursday, I can call back and exchange for the Sensation since its the only comparable device. I talked to this guy for a long time and he was very knowledgeable when it came to phones. He told me that my account was notated and to call back next Thursday.
I called back on Thursday and spoke to retention again. The last I talked to told me the system would not let her do that but she did see the notes on my account. She told me she was going to email the original representative and have him call me. I waited 24 hours and didn't receive the phone call.
I called retention again and was lucky enough to get another cool ass representative. This guy tried every way possible to get a Sensation in my hands but in the end he couldn't do it. I thought for sure I was screwed and the game was over. He then put me on hold to talk with his supervisor.
When he came back on the phone he told me they are going to send me a Sensation because when I talked to the first representative, I was still within the 14 day return period but that representative told me to call back a week later. I don't understand how they came to that conclusion because I gad already had the phone for almost 2 months.
After he told me this he then put me on hold because he had to go over to his supervisors computer to complete the transaction. I asked him if I should send all the accessories and box back with the G2X and he told me I didn't have to send it back since there was nothing they could do with it. LG will not except any devices back if there outside of a 30 day period. Before hanging up I asked him one more thing. I asked if I was still out of contract and he said yes. It was a happy day.
In the end, T-mobile ate the cost of the Sensation. What other carrier would do that? Probably none.

After exchanging my g2x about 6 times I called the retention center and told them that I would cancel my account since I needed a working phone and the g2 was definitely not a comparable device. As soon as I mentioned the cancellation he told me I could get the sensation as an upgrade ( even though I just opened my account 5 months ago) so I just paid the $250 and got a sensation on the mail. So far, I absolutely love it

Easiest way to get to customer retention is to tell the computer voice you want to cancel your account. She then says, "Ok then, Ill get you right over to someone who can help". Boom, your at customer retention.

I called the corporate number that someone had posted in an earlier thread - you should be able to search for it. Keep in mind that this number is NOT customer care, or even retentions - I had no luck with either of those departments. When you call the corporate number, ask to get transfered to "Executive Customer Relations" or something like that. You will have to leave a voicemail and they will call you back within the next couple days.
I explained my situation after getting a call back. I, probably like others that have received this deal, have been a customer for a long time (~10 years), so I'm sure that weighed heavily in their decision.
Eventually (a few days later), I was shipped a Sensation (account credited the full cost of the phone after I mailed my G2X back to them), paid no upgrade fees, and was even credited the cost of shipping. They did have me agree to a new two year contract, but that was fine given the service they provided.
Just remember to be courteous and calm when explaining your situation - doing so can go a long way. Good luck!

I bit the bullet. Since I have been a customer for so long, they gave me a 1 year discount ($402 and change). I had my 2 day old G2X up for sale at $300 for maybe 20 minutes and already have a guy coming tomorrow to buy it. Out of pocket $100 bucks isn't too terrible.
Man. My experience ia this... Had g2x, sold g2x for sensation. Hated the sensation all 3 had horrible wifi and screen weirdness. Not to mention two types of screens.. Now I'm back to the g2x. It may not be perfect, but its a heck of a lot better than the sensation imo..
Hi,

they sent me another backplate and now my phone feels like another one ...
nothing is crackling anymore... it feels a lot more solid ...

You used to be able to get one for free, but some people complained about people committing fraud from this forum (someone posted instructions on how to get one for free) and then they started requiring you to send your old one back or giving them a credit card number.
for me it was free ... now i have two backplates
Good for you people... They told me to send it in for repares :I
It was an automated reply, it even included a part that mentioned to remove the back cover before sending. Idiots.

LOL!! ^^^^^
I got one coming, because of reception fluctuation. Free, no card details, don't have to send other one back.

I have replacement back cover coming too.
I contacted HTC on Live chat and they could not have been nicer.
I explained the clicking noise I was getting from phone and told her i was worried that it was going to get worse and that i was worried about dust getting into it.
Also said (nicely) that for a high end device and the companys (current) flagship phone that it was dissapointing that this was happening.
She asked for my serial no - and a couple of minutes later, viola, new back cover on the way.
no credit card - no sending in for repairs- no photos?? (like they would help anyway)
Well done HTC -
I had my volume button fall off. Called HTC via the phone number for US customer service from their website. Told the lady what happened and she was more than happy to send me a new one, free of charge. No CC info or return required for me. Unfortunately it was on backorder and the delivery was delayed by 3 weeks, but here now and I have a backup if ever needed, just no volume button.
She did tell me that all accessories have one free replacement. So I'm assuming that's the backplate, battery and maybe the headphones and charger too.
Anyways, I couldn't be more pleased how way this while process was and how polite the htc lady was. Cheers to htc for a job well done on the customer service side of things!
And boo to all the people who abuse this service and possibly make then start charging your CC and such!

i got 2 back covers from them and a battery for free.
i requested replacements for my sensation before but Tmobile sent me faulty ones :/ , it was like 2 replacements in a week, so i contacted them and told them im going to keep my old phone instead.
i took the replacement phones IMEI stuff, then i called HTC. lol
Mine had a crackling noise also and was very loose they sent me a new one with no issues at all, The new one came and the dang power button was sunken in! so im asking for another!!
Aah, awesome! I dropped by phone on it's back and it's all scratched. I fixed the crackling noise with some isolation tape but what the heck, going to try this tomorrow
As title suggests i have lost my volume buttons...HTC Said i can send it in for repair but they dont sell the part.....Anyone bought another case and willing to sell the spare volume buttons??
Come on guys I know some of you have bought a new case! unless you pulled the volume buttons off when doing the chrome frame mod you'll be fine
just purchase another back on ebay, or have htc send you a new one.
HTC Wont they will only offer repair service im not waiting 7 days without phone again! Don't really want to pay £30 when i only need volume buttons
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441706
Just online chat with HTC and they will send you out a new case for free
I have seen that thread but after speaking to htc they want me to send it for repair,Online live chatting atm will see what happens
---------------------UPDATE---------------------
Alex: Hi Sean, thank you for contacting HTC Support, I am looking in to your query now.
Sean Mcardle: Hello and thanks
Sean Mcardle: hello?
Alex: Apologies Sean but the process is to send the phone and the cover for repair. They have to be sent in to be checked that they are in warranty to be swapped.
Sean Mcardle: Well i dont really want that, All i want is the volume buttons on the case! Can i not give you all the serial numbers? Sureley thats whats checked anyway?
Sean Mcardle: That'd be ANOTHER 7 days without my phone
Alex: We used to send out replacement back covers however they have just changed the process. We have now to book the device and the cover in for repair. I can try and escalate the matter if you like to see if we can send you a replacement button.
Alex: Sure. I'll try that first.
Sean Mcardle: Thankyou
Alex: Can I please take the SN?
Sean Mcardle: SH**********
Alex: Great, thank you. I'll raise an escalation and I'll let you know if it's been approved.
Sean Mcardle: Thanskyou will i be notified by email?
Alex: It will be via email, yes
Alex: On [email protected]
Sean Mcardle: Thanks for your help Alex i look forward to my response.Have a good evening
Thats a bugger mate, hopefully they will just you one out. Mine came in a bout 3days
do you think they will send them to spain?
According to Alex in a phone call, Too many users took advantage of them sending out cases for small problems.Now they get them sent to repair to replace the broken part.Still waiting to hear from them

I literally jus got a new case sent to me from htc for tha same reason not even a week ago
I got a new case of Htc last week for the volume buttons falling off they also said no I would have to buy a new back, then they sent me a link to customer feedback i left them negative feedback on every question then on the extra comments part i told them they were **** and would not be buying any more Htc products ever again, then a few days later they phoned me about the feedback i explained to them i thought the solution i was offered of spending £40 to buy a new back was unacceptable and they said ok we'll send you a new one in a week or so got it in less complain and ye shall prevail.
Yea i've been a pain in the ass on the phone to them saying ive owned many many HTC Devices, Still have a G1,Magic,Hero and desire and probably wont go for another HTC device if this is the build quality i am to expect.Also telling them that if i can make a volut of a matchstick i should have no problem fitting an OEM one!
As foir getting one a week ago, Are you USA? I think the trading standards laws differ slightly but i presume if i get them enough stick and abuse on Twitter and over the phone they will just get fed up land send one lol
lost the volume buttons on my original case too. bought a oem sensation back cover for $20 on EBAY... perfect
Just go to your local wireless retailer and ask them to swap the back on a warranty return Sensation, that's what I did.

No as easy as that in the UK.They are only obliged to replace defects within 30 days..
As it happens HTC must have got fed up with me moaning as i received my new case today
