I cave"d" (and came around)

I really can't take the quality control issues any more. I think I am going to try and get a Sensation. I really love the phone, I just can't take the battery over heats, and the screen bleed, and the horrible battery life. I know there will be an impending Gingerbread update that will hopefully fix 2/3 main gripes I have with the phone, but it has still left a bad taste in my mouth. I know that HTC never has this bad of a problem with their phones. I think I am going to try and get a replacement for the Sensation through T-Mobile. If I can't I will deal with warranty replacements until I get a good G2x.
Anyone else starting to feel this conclusion?
I am getting a warranty replacement, and that will be the determining factor for my decision.

Good luck!

Thanks, I know this post won't do well here, but I am really fed up. I have never had a phone with this many out of the box problems. Plus replacements with the same problems! I really want to give this phone a 2nd chance, but its an up hill battle. The power behind this phone is smudged by the short battery life and the overheating issue when charging. I am hoping the replacement I get isn't the same thing as the one I have currently.

What apps do you have on your phone?

I feel you. I am leaning towards doing the same.

Tons, but I have had mostly the same apps since I have had the G2, and I am sure they have nothing to do with this.

Do you have the o2x notification app? I deleted that and reboots stopped... Sounds weird but it is true...

Well, I depend on that app to. . uh notify me haha. I really don't want to have anxiety and check my phone every five min. Sometimes I cant feel the vibrate so I won't respond for hours if I don't know I have a text LOL, and that's a no no to my GF.

Same here. That app chewed through the battery like nothing else, even with the LED brightness turned down. Caused all kinds of reboots and whatnot. Deleted it and all issues with my phone disappeared instamagically.

So keep your GF happy, and deal with the reboots... Oooooooor fix your phone, keep it and stop obsessing over text messages... Oooooooor try the new notification app that is in the themes and apps section, keep the phone, make your GF happy and save the world...

Ok luv ya buh bye!
I keed I keed. +1 with the notification app, deleting that made my life better. Screen bleed is something I understand too, but that's why I like the notification bar mod sonnysekhon posted in his CM7 themes. Makes the bleed look normal at least until I play a movie or something. Other than that I'm happy. Good luck if you go for the sensation.

Yes but I really depend on it! D: lol. I wish they had an LED notification light on the G2x.
For me its not just screen bleed, its the overheating issue as well, and the poor battery life(yes even with out the app).

Flash faux's 1.2.2 and his 1.9 kernal. It's been rock solid for me. My battery's been off the charger for 10hrs now and its at 57%.

It doesn't matter that you have had your apps since the G2. Apps will act differently from device to device. For instance. I have always had the NFL Mobile app and when I put it on my G2X, it was causing it to overheat and was killing the battery big time. It would drop 10% ever 15 minutes while at idle. The very second I deleted the app, everything went back to normal.

Won't hear any flack from me. I am getting the Sensation as well but I don't know if I am going to give it to my wife or give her the G2X. Either way, which ever one I decide on is hitting the bricks once the Hercules gets here. I already purchased the Sensation and returned it the same day due to over heating, freezing and reboots. Seems like every phone now adays ships with bugs and it's like playing a lottery in order to get a bug free one. Looking over in the Sensation forum isn't to promising considering all of it's own problems.
O well. I'll wait until the Sensation gets released from T-Mobile so I can return it as many times I need to like I did with my G2X. I had to return 3 in order to get a perfect device with absolutely no bugs. I don't settle for bugs on my phone and I wouldn't expect anyone else too.

But I don't have any app like that I am sure, I checked battery history nothing is really out of the ordinary. The only one that I would think is the LED notifier since it has the most use.

I'm with you, I find myself saying "I hate this blasted phone" everyday now. Would be a great phone if it was reliable, but it's not.

Apps certainly do have a lot to do with the rebooting issues that some people are having. My phone has only rebooted maybe once and it was because of an app. Removed the app and no more rebooting. Replacing the phone will do nothing if you continue to use it the same way and don't do any actual troubleshooting yourself.

Hercules is only a code name for the phone. But it does have a nice ring to it.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

Not sure which LED notification app you're using but the one I'm using hasn't caused me any reboots or battery drain (could just be my device but I'm not sure). It's called LG 2x/Black Notifications, made to be used both for the G2x and O2x

Lines on Screen, please help

Whenever I turn on my screen, I see lines or a fuzzy gray box flashing across my screen. They go away in less than a second, but I am afraid that my screen is broken. This also happened on my first charge, so I was wondering if the cause could be my battery which I bought on ebay (samsung 1500mah). Also, my new phone almost never connects to 4g even though my old one got full bars.
Please help, I googled my problem and came up with nothing. I still have my first phone, could I send back the same phone they sent me in the box?
Thank you.

What you see on your screen is apparently common for other charge owners myself included. Saw it mentioned as screen "static"in a thread on here somewhere which it can look like sometimes. I don't think it's been associated with any screen issues so I wouldn't trip on it too hard over it. I'll take that quirky behavior with the screen quality!

How to cure Un-Responsive Touchscreen issue on TF101

Was working fine for about a week or two and then all of a sudden lost all use of the touch screen. Wiped and double wiped and still no use.
Seen a tip to let the device completely die out and recharge and that did the trick all for about 2hrs. Now its back to square one with a device that is useless.
I was able to flash another ROM and that did not help either. Currently the tablet is on a stable Cyanogen ROM but it will go unresponsive after about 30 minutes.
Has anyone had any success with getting this thing to stay responsive and working.
Please Help, my Mom needs her Tablet back so she can give me back my Nexus 7 LOL

Never experienced it myself, but I would try to reseat the screen connector on the board. From what I read it fixed problems for some people.

Hmmm okay I'll see what I can do

AT&T LG G Flex 2 lag??

So I have been reading through some of the Q&A posts here & I have read several conflicting reports of the G Flex 2 & the lag issue.
One thing that seems consistent is that the G Flex 2, with 3GB of Ram doesnt lag, or its nowhere near as bad as it is on the 2GB versions.
Can anyone with a AT&T LG G Flex 2 confirm this?
Everyone that has been complaining about the lag are from all over the world & I know a lot of the European carriers got the 2GB of RAM version for whatever stupid reason. I really want to get this phone & sell of my iPhone 6+, if anyone has a decent answer & is using this phone on AT&T (or even in the US, since i know sprint has it), do you still experience terrible lag? Thanks!

Confirmed att variant and no lag. Even when I play graphic intensive games and it gets a little warm no lag.

I have the AT&T version and it has no lag. In Fact it's actually insanely fast and it multitasks really well. I'm surprised at how many apps can stay open in the background and I can still go back to them without having them to reload. One time I played minecraft with my kid and the next day he was able to log back into my minecraft server without me having to open minecraft because it was still running in the background from the previous day. I have an ipad air and it refuses to run minecraft in the background. Actually I can't think of much other than music that it'll keep running in background. But overall I have no complaints with the performance on this phone.

Awesome thanks you guys! This is good to know. Display models in stores are kind of hard to tell because they usually have every single piece of bloat ware running in the background & it's hard to get a true feel for what it's like In day to day use unless you freeze/force close all the apps.
How is battery life for you guys? It's not that big a deal to me if the phone doesn't last 2 days. As long as it can make it from beginning of the day until the end under light use I'm fine with that. Also I'm not one of those people who constantly leaves GPS & sync on (only when I need it)

When using xda or light Web browsing it drains at 6 to 12% per hour. When doing lots of heavy Web browsing and using multiple apps at once it can drain up to 25% per hour. While watching videos about 13% per hour and while sleeping I see 1.5 to 3% per hour.

Hello. H955 user here .
I can confirm that I dont have any lag, even when playing high graphics games. everything runs great, I have 54000 in Antutu and 22000 in 3d mark Ice Storm Unlimited. Actually, in Ice Storm Extreme, almost everythin is maxed out, which is just..Well great ! Would like to get the 3gb version though, but i cant seem to find any in my country. Battery lasts for one day, with couple of maches played in WOT. The only thing that annoys me sometimes is yellow stains on screen that can be seen only in grey backgroud, but that is it..Other than that, hopefully a 5.1 update will come soon and we can pump up more juice from our devices )

It certainly isn't as good as the first g flex but I get around 20 hours of battery life between charges. Everyone's life will depend on signal strength, apps syncing , Bluetooth etc. The battery life for me is the same as the nexus 6.

Wow that's really bad. During sleep I get around 20 to 22 hours. On average I've been getting 5 to 5.5 hours of on screen time.

All S6 lag when you near 50% storage?

I've heard this from multiple people. If this is the case this is very disappointing. I noticed that when I go a few days without restarting the phone it can lag pretty badly and I barely have anything on it. My HTC one m7 was almost unusable when my storage was almost full and if that happens on the s6 I'm going to be quite aggravated.

I have 16.71gb available and my phone runs fine.

Only 2 GB available and installed about 190+ apps and no issue so far

It's probably just the lollipop memory leak.

Mine lags most of the time when im using chrome. So I clear my ram with clean master &/ DU saver most of the time
