To begin im not rooted or unlocked and ive read through the stickies and pages at "solutions" but i gotta say this is the worst phone ive ever owned. I figured it would be at least on par with my old g2 or mt4g but they would smoke this paperweight on edge network. Ive factory reset, used task killer, rebooted, called tech support, and im about ready to committ cellular homicide and mail it back piece by piece. I know im not the only one here....who else wants to vent some steam by sharing a nightmare?

Um it would quite help if you were to explain the reasons why you don't like this phone? And it would also really help if you didn't judge this phone stock because when its on the stock rom, its a piece of sh*t. I almost ran over this thing.

It shouldnt have to be rooted to compete with the g2 or mt4g...this beat the iphone 4 in a speed test. This thing lags on every scroll and takes a good 10-15 sec to open anything you touch. This isnt the first one ive experience this with either. Tmobile hyped this up like its hot sh** but its just cold diahrea

If you are clearly having issues why not custom rom it? I really don't understand why are you refusing to do something that has SOO MANY benefits and zero disadvantages. Sounds like lazyness to me. Shouldn't even bother with xda if you won't even root the phone

My wife and I both got the SGS4G at the same time she had all of the same complaints and eventually caved in and got a different phone. I on the other hand came to XDA and got help and now I am perfectly happy with the phone. the Vibrant had all of the same issues and its a software problem form Samsung. I loaded a custom ROM and all of the issues I had are gone. the great thing about software is that it can be fixed. Hardware issues are another story of which this phone has none that I have found. It is possible to revert back to stock firmware and software so that its like you never did anything if you want to sell the phone later. So this is not the place to vent about how crappy your stock phone is it is the place to come and load the software needed to fix it.
I'm.with you... I miss my mytouch 4g. Such an awesome phone. So many roms. So fast.

Honestly this is like if you bought a Ferrari and it had a rev limiter set at 2k with the top speed limited to 10mph but refused to turn off the limiters. The limiters are clearly there and you can clearly turn them off but you refuse to and instead of fixing the issue, you complain saying that you shouldnt have to turn them off and your ford fiesta is faster.

I know that rooting the phone isn't simply going to make all the problems go away. I absolutely hated this phone. Then when the new gb roms came out and all the tweaks started pumping out, I actually started to like this "p.o.s". Well why don't you wait till you have a PC and flash a custom rom first before you go flaming away at the device.

i think ur saying stock=crap rooted=good....so you basically agree with me so far...we both hate it stock and when my pc is back up n running ill root and update my review when i got custom rom. But as it stands im at 1ghz slow as hell. And its like i said before i dont want to buy a phone depending on root in order to make it function like its supposed to. If the cpu acted like it was at 1ghz i wouldnt be slammin this p o s.

just a note you dont ever need a pc anyomre to cough root a phone and flash a diffrent rom at all all yuo need is root explorer and to start off the recovery from krylons cwm final and then the update.zip and then the custom rom or a few of them push the recovery record reboot install zip via update gets u to cwm and then install new rom never once haveing to touch a pc
and if your on froyo u can use the market and get root theres apps that work for that

You came here with the sole purpose of complaining about the phone and not showing any interest about doing anything about it. If you want to complain about how bad this phone is try doing it on the T-Mobile forums so at least people who are thinking about buying the phone might be persuaded against it. I fell into it by commenting in the first place and I overlooked the first rule of the internet...Don't feed the trolls.

Part Four, is that you?
Anyways, I've actually played with my cousin's MT4G (3 cousins have that phone). I honestly wouldn't say that the SGS4G falls too far behind it.
My cousins always complain about the battery life, since they can't even get half a day's worth with the screen at the lowest setting. On the other hand, the SGS4G put up excellent battery life since I got it. I ran it with its first brightness setting and easily got a full day's use out of it.
Speaking of the screen, you can't deny that this screen is quite beautiful.
As for the stock speed of the phone, I kinda have to agree that the MT4G is slightly better. It's not ridiculously faster, but it is faster by a hair. On a more interesting note, my friends had a rooted G2 which lagged more than my stock SGS4G.

Ill give you the screen, it is beautifull and that was a big selling point .my battery drains fast and charges slow ive downloaded maybe a couple apps, my display takes 99% of my battery and its at half power if you can believe that.

But don't stay on a froyo rom. I didn't really like those either. The big difference is when you start using a gingerbread rom which you will need a PC for to flash the bootloaders.

I have two mytouch 4gs. The screen on that phone blows away the sgs4g. The only reason I don't use it is because the wife and daughter have taken them over and stuck me with this thing.
Mytouch4g running Faux123's AOSP rom gets well over a day with heavy usage. About the same as CM.
I like the sgs4g.... its what I'm stuck with for now... but its no where near what the mt4g has to offer.
Better camera. Flash. Better screen. Better wifi.
And AOSP.
This phone with every tweak and rom doesn't come close to the mt4g.
Sorry. But its true.

Also I had previous experiences with Samsung phone do you have to backup EFS folder with this one too?
Also how brickable is this phone, Samsung phones usually are easier to brick than HTC or LG.

Pretty hard to brick, great phone for the price. Cwm makes easy nandroid and allows you to select how you want it saved. Sods are almost non-existent anymore. On ICS I don't think there is any sods. But I've been running test kernels for a week now for jellybean based ROMs and I think there's light at the end of the tunnel. All in all get it if you can't afford an s3. I personally like it better than the s3 because of the size.

Thanks, yeah I don't like phones higher than a 4.3 screen size. After that it feels like a mini tablet lol. So this is perfect with power, I don't think the s3 is all that necessary in Android yet. Plus I live in NY you always have to be looking if you know what I mean haha.
Any info on the EFS question if this phone has it? So I'll know to back it up

I just checked at best buy and they currently have the s3 at 150 with 2 year agreement my question is have you guys ever tried buying through best buy? Does your plan change in any way after you guys have done this? Tmobile always tries to make it impossible for their customers that's why I ask these things. I see it as a good investment worse comes to worse down the line I can just opt out and pay 200 penalty and I would still have my s3.

S4 is not worth the upradeI would like to see if I can put the battery in the s3 though
Will get it asap I skipped the s3 glad I waited for a better resolution screen and new features.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Although it seems like a great device, I don't see that "wow" factor over the s3. I have like 5 upgrades that I could use and it still doesn't seem worth it. The software will eventually make its way over here. My hardware never seems underpowered and my battery life is great so my real world upgrade would be for a nicer screen.
You know I bought this phone on the premise that even if loaded with bloat the Snapdragon processor in here should be enough to handle it and still provide seamless screen transitions, etc.
Sadly it seems that this phone is laggy. At times when screen transitions it will "stutter" or otherwise "hesitate" causing a poor user experience.
So I did tweak my ROM up some, disabled most of the bloat and the experience is now what I would have expected from it stock.
I also understand that I am coming from my own tweaked ROMS on other high end devices but I just expected more from this.
What do you all think? What phone did you come from?
Yay another thread about the lag lol

Exactly, its the same as an S3 with 1/2 the processing power.
I have Note II and S3 ROMS that are much smoother... I guess its going to be hard to judge until I can tear it apart and do some tweaking to the OS more. It sjust my Note II, stocked seemed faster.
I dont know yet. Just trying to gather opinions. I am sure Samsung will smooth it up. They made huge strides with the Note II.
I'll check out your links tonight. Thanks for posting them!

Hey Scrosler, loved your One X roms! As far as the lag goes, it does definitely seem that my S3 was faster. It's made it hell deciding on whether I should keep my S4 or HTC One, since I was going to originally take the One back. Aside from the stuff you probably did already, try disabling the lock screen animation as well as disabling the home button from accessing S Voice (double click the Home button, then go to settings to disable). These are the two things that seemed to have helped the most with lag issues. Still not perfect by any means, but it's much improved. Now if I could just do something about the damn keyboard lag..

My wife is not experiencing any of this prolonged lag. Consider us lucky. Ours is pretty solid. The first time I did notice lag was while unlocking the phone with the "majestic twinkle" effect. It did it intermittently. Turned that effect off. Now unlocks smooth. Also turned off all transitions. Much better. Theres no stutters or lag spikes. Its pretty darn good. For a stock experience we are satisfied. If Scot does decide to develop for this phone I am confident it will be CleanRommed.
Comparing it to my Note 2 running cleanROM is totally unfair though

Same thing here I'm used to using my own ROMs, so there is that adjustment
But Scott as you know there is only so much that can be done with a ROM at the end of the day Samsung will have to adjust some things which then gives us a better base to work from, I'm sticking with this one till nexus 5 is out

Yeah, but you turned off the cool parts which I like. I always set my transistions to 50%, even in my ROMS but I wont turn them off. The twinkle affect should cause stutter after its done. I see lag just backing out of the Play Store to the desktop it will sometimes stutter. Not just the occasional lock screen lag in which I know you are referring to.

This is why I started the thread. To see if it was me and my expectations or if the phone really is laggy.... And from the feedback, its laggy, its not just me.

Ah I don't know what to do. I love this device but hate how we have to disable all types of things in order for it to perform right

Hope you stay Scott as I love your ROM's as well...
But I would not blame you one bit if you ditched it!
I am seriously debating selling mine ( I paid full price ) and picking up a Nexus 4 but will wait until Google i/o before deciding what to do..

Same thing here I'm used to using my own ROMs, so there is that adjustment
But Scott as you know there is only so much that can be done with a ROM at the end of the day Samsung will have to adjust some things which then gives us a better base to work from, I'm sticking with this one till nexus 5 is out
Just my 2 cents

Yes, I totally agree and I think its Samsung lack of experience with Snapdragon on 4.2.2.
I have Nexus 10 which is not as powerful as this phone but its a Sammy processor and there is ZERO lag with dual cores at 1.4 or is it 1.5 GHZ. And thats at nearly 4x the pixels that this has.
I was just expecting this thing to scream when I first got it...
Disable and android go hand and hand since the g1. My only problem with the os is the hardware needed to make this a smooth experince , a lot of work needs to be done with android. Its a great platform but nothing is perfect I guess
But hey android is getting better and better.

Hey everyone! Most of you won't remember me, but I am back!
My kernel thread will be beyond repair to try and fix all the broken/dead links.
But....I have a CRAP TON of kernels and ROMs for the G2x stored on my laptop. Basically everything CM7 related kernels and ROMs, and some CM9 kernels and ROMs.
If there is something your in need of, let me know and I'll get it uploaded for you to download.
I'm still rocking the G2x for a little longer so I'll try to help anyway I can.
EDIT: Just did some checking on my kernel thread, seems the only dead links are Mazout360's. I can upload and share the Mazout kernels I have, although I believe the highest I have is v323OC but I'll fix up the kernel thread with new links since the rest are working.
Still, if there is something you need, contact me.
I remember!!! Missed ya man. Hope things are good. Glad you're back!!

Things are much, much better now.
Glad to see someone I know is still around here!
I see we are at the same point as when I left like 7 months ago with this phone. That's sad. I'm still using vanilla CM7, what's funny is my G2x still puts some of my friends pre-paid ICS android phones to shame in speed/camera/gaming etc. lol
Glad things are looking up bro! After you disappeared a lot of the other gurus started fading out also to other forums and better phones. It's very sad about the dev issues man =( After you got me rolling with CM7 I became a flash-addict. I've flashed every ROM I could find for this device. Even made a few ports for personal use but none were that great. I have used every ICS hackfest and have tried most of the jelly bean hack fests.....if it wasn't for the damn ril wakelock the JB hackfests would be awesome. But they average around 4-5 hours of battery life and that's just awful lol. I'm currently on eaglesblood 4.0.4 but always have a CM7 nandroid handy whenever I feel like going to back. Picking up the Nexus 5 in a few weeks, you decide on your next rig yet?

Lol Im prob going to be stuck with this G2x for a bit longer, no money for an upgrade.
If I did pick something, I'd be looking at the LG G2, it's sweet, and being a non-nVidia device this time will make custom modding alot better as there's no proprietary drivers involved like with the G2x.
G2 is really sweet....but there doesn't seem to be a lot of development for it right now which is making me lean toward the nexus 5

It will in due time. It just came out not too long ago.
If development picks up I might sway that way...Hopefully LG doesn't abandon it like they did this device though

I only partially blame LG for the lack of development, nVidia played a huge role in the G2x's demise as well. The G2 has a Snapdragon and from what I've read, development on a Snapdragon device is pretty good on the mod scene.
I can only hope. But like I said, I have no money so I'll prob get stuck with an older model like the HTC One. Whatever Tmo is offering for free or discount on a plan renewal.

T-Mobile is offering nexus 5's for $0 down and like $17 a month. I think I put up $70 or so for this thing. Actually I think they have this deal on all galaxy devices right now too. Anyway great to see you back dude and glad to hear things are better for you! My kid killed my g2x so I finally decided to upgrade.
Oh and Merry Christmas!

I do. It is amazing! And there is so much development for it I can't keep up with all of it. Literally I can't finish reading one rom thread before the next one pops up with an update. I haven't slept in weeks... Lol
