Me because my Galaxy S4 screen broke.
Will be rocking this until my S4 gets fixed.
Although I bought a note 3 few months ago I keep coming back here hoping for some kind of miraculous break through.

Rocking one in the drawer and one loaned to a friend... The amaze is treating me well so I will be looking for a buyer soon.

I just got my Nexus 5 today. I'm going to be giving my G2x to my little brother. Hopefully he can enjoy it as much as I did.
Yup. Still rockin it fly like a G2X running skyrom and the wife rockin it with stock GB rooted... and the fact I can't afford a new phone since we got these both for free from a coworker who upgraded to iPhones...

I still have my g2x in case anything new happens with development although I don't know how many devs are really left lol. The nexus 5 is an amazing device.....it would have to be something really crazy in terms of development for the g2x to make me get the dust off mine and boot it up.

It stood well the test of time. I've reclaimed the very first Android phone, myTouch 4G from my cousin. I gave him my Nexus 4.
Anyway, I compare the G2X, still solid and smooth. The myTouch is just slow painful to use. How times have changed.
The other day used G2X on skype and had multiple crashes and phone has become very sluggish at running more than 2 apps. This is on CM7. The display and colors are bright and deep black colors. In my opinion, its a great display.
My main is Nexus 5. Still my favorite phone.
Jumping ship and getting the nexus 5 as soon as I get a job.

- 50% of paint on metal stripe around phone is gone
- the back plastic plate that says "8M" fell off, I superglued it
- microUSB port looks scratched around the perimeter
- slot of the backplate looks uneven from billions of removals
will be 3 years this summer, still refusing to get rid of it. I will use till it vomits in my face.
Nice! Almost 3 years for me also. Don't feel the need to spend hundreds of dollars on a new phone when this does what I need it to do. When it dies is when I get a new one lok

Congrats, now wrap it up in BSE or Ghost Armor, or if you can't do that, at least get a case for it. One drop on asphalt will result in regret for as long as you own it.

Don't jinx yourself man. I had my Nexus One from January 8th of last year. Never dropped it until I decided to myself that I was ready to move on a couple months ago... dropped it twice, effectively knocking $50 off the value.
Got my Nexus S and had ordered BSE before I ever received it. It didn't leave my house until it was wrapped up more securely than a john's member when he's with a pro.
the only..
the only defect I have found is not being able to stop playing with it, my wife gets highly annoyed.
You shouldn't have to worry at all about quality of the build like the HTC Evo & Evo 3D. I took back multiple Evo's and have yet to return a Nexus S due to manufacturer defect
I've had several replacements due to various issues, non of which were defects noticeable in the store. The biggest thing I've noticed is the fluctuation is displays. One looks bright and bold while the other looks natural and warm. This of course would be opinion and not a defect.
I'm the type who likes to slap on a screen protector before powering on the device so I never allow the reps to open my new device and set it up.(they're always ruff and I've had two phones leave the store with scratches on the displays from the reps fingernails). Issues your going to notice are things like weak signal strength, weak wifi connection, etc. These are known "issues" were all experiencing and are not things an exchange is going to solve. I'm a huge fan of the NS4G and will never own a non Nexus/pure Google device again. The hardware is not totally cutting edge but its a solid, well built device that leaves you feeling you have the most OFFICIAL Android device in your hand.

I have till the 27th of this month to return my NS. am I pushing the envelope or what?
Anyone ever had a hard time with such a close return date?
I cant make up my mind if I should keep the NS or return it and shoot for the SGS2.
Seriously losing sleep over this.
The NS camera sucks and the S2 is to big. I've put my Inspire up for sale, but I cant make my mind up! lol
If you are within the return period you don't have a problem.
You really think the camera sucks? Why? I think it takes great pictures for a phone camera. It has even beaten the iPhone 4 in an outdoor comparison.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
NexxyS4G is nice, but if I had the option of the SGS2, I'd return the Nexxy in a heart beat and get the SGS2. (super amoled PLUS and that extra .5" of screen to me is a benefit. I think the slightly larger footprint is ideal for a smartphone's screen)
Only neg is if you are one of the few that require NFC (near field comm) as I do not believe the SGS2 has that capability.
As for the camera, I don't expect much when using a phone but surprised it wasn't a little better when reviewing images taken on the Nexy.
BTW this was the first time I bought a phone with a retail presence - BestBuy. (still purchased online but picked-up). Anyway highly impressed with their service. Free 30 return policy. NO restock fee as one would see at RadioShack.

But just thought I'd say I'm back to using my sgs4g as my daily driver.
I have been using the g2x for the past couple months, but my galaxy is honestly just a better phone. And with octane 3.0 its damn near as fast. With twice the battery. More sensitive (and brighter) touch screen. Stronger signal. Louder speaker. Thinner and lighter. And modern combat 2 plays just as smooth and beautiful, though I'll still use my g2x for some games. Deadspace occasionally stutters just a tad on sgs4g vs perfect on g2x. And I'll miss the flash on my g2x since I often use it as a flashlight.
So anyways just thought I'd remind you all this old phone really isn't so far behind performance wise as the newest phones would have us believe.

Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
use chainfire and have it reduce texture size and unroll 32 bit textures that will fix the games sight stutter
I'll keep that in mind for future gaming, though the "stuttering" is literally so minimal I honestly don't think I would've even noticed it if I hadn't already been playing deadspace on the g2x.

Adding my two cents here:
Bought my daughter a g2x for Christmas, even made a topic about how I wanted to switch phones with her.
Now that I had some time to play with it, I can honestly say that all in all, I would prefer to keep my phone.
When I got my sgs4g i was originally going for a g2x but it was out of stock. I went ahead and got this because my hd2 died and I was phoneless...

It was also offered as a free phone with new contract, but, then I have no idea what happened to my dad and I got an SGS4G!?!/!/!?

I was an Inspire owner too and I remember you used to rule that forum. I am shocked that you left for iPhone! I moved onto the Galaxy Nexus when it came out and sold off the Inspire. I had an upgrade available now so there is no way I could pass this phone up... I love the phone but do miss the stock feeling of Android 4.0 so now all I really need is Root and CM9!
I remember you from the Inspire forums. I switched to the Note then the Nexus, now I can upgrade and I may get the One X. Good to see people attempting iPhone and regretting it, so I don't have to. The reason I'm maybe thinking of the One X is the camera, I'm going on holiday and don't want to be stuck taking GNex quality shots along the coast of Italy lol.

Just left my international GSII for this bad boy. (The GSII was the best phone ever btw). Freaking loving the screen and the sick build quality. It's so much better than Samsung's crap plastic
I too took a detour through some Sammys (The other phone at home is always iP - a conscious decision that works well ), Great to be back to HTC.
SGS2 was great for that generation, but LTE/batt life sucked and was a bit clunky (I have large hands), so wasted no time in getting my H1X.

The GPS is why I ditched my Inspire. I do a lot of things that use the GPS (mapping / running / cycling). That GPS would not stay locked and would turn a 5 mile run into a 15 mile run with all of the zig zags it would add to my course. Great for the Ego, but a pain in the A$$ otherwise.
To Answer your question the HOX is lightning fast to lock and stays locked pretty well from what I can tell. I have not used it with a gps app other than google maps yet but I am happy with what i have seen so far.
There are allot of reasons I love my phone, but just yesterday I dropped mine in the fish tank! WoW I was worried about it not working anymore. Did the normal steps to dry it out. To my surprise it is fine.
