[G2 and Desire Z General] astriaos:
Consider that this gentleman is still on a g1 which at this stage is genuinely outdated some two years after release. I think if he moved to the direct successor to this venerable handset he would be quite pleased. The brief overlay between release and the present day has merely allowed the dev community time to support the device. Instead, if he did what you suggest and get a g2x (which lacks a hard keyboard, something he seems fond of) he would have to wait some months for it to be cracked and the dev community to support it.

Not to mention that dual core phones are still relatively new tech. Even if the hardware is screaming fast, every dual core phone released so far has some sort of software issue and do you really genuinely believe that the carrier or vendor will be quick to patch these issues? Consider the Engadget review of the LG Optimus2x

And the Atrix4g review

Though speculating on the end product that HTC will produce is nothing more than conjecture at this stage, these types of commentary lead me to believe that despite the frankly staggeringly good physical hardware, albeit lacking the desired keyboard, the current iteration of dual core smartphones aren't really ready for the consumer market. Their battery life is acceptable, but that goes away when you really are trying to utilize the benefits of having a dual core setup in terms of snappy multitasking.

Get the G2 man. You'll be holding onto it for a while and whatever crop of phones ATT comes out with assuming this merger goes through will probably not live up to the high quality you'll find in the G2. Even now the Dev community is still supporting the G1 so as to if the G2 is going to be "relevant" in a year, that is a silly question. What about all those people who wish to stay off contract yet desire a decent handset at a cheaper price since it is a used model? Dismissing a handset offhand as being "old" and "outdated" despite obvious evidence against this assertion is both shortsighted and closed minded.

I hope no one here is paying 30 a month for unlimited. 20 dollars a month its called "android preferred" or something like that. 3 people included myself on our family plan have internet for 20 a month. Just ***** and moan and u can get it too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tvdang7:
things i dislike about the g2x.

no camera button

camera pokes out so uneven backside

i think the review say it has no lens cover so prone to dust

Not a big modding community yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nivlac978:
I love my G2 and will be happy with it for at least the next 2 years. But, if I were getting a phone now, I would probably get the G2x or more likely wait for the Pyramid.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kayway27:
the g2x hasnt even come out yet, that was the optimus 2x, which had its own lg skin over it.

this phone, with the g in the g2x, is mostly stock android with a bit of bloatware put in. you cant say it has a small mod community when it hasnt even come out yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
Here's really what it boils down to: do you need a physical keyboard or not? A physical keyboard is an absolute must for me, and regardless of the hardware specs I need that keyboard. Right now there just aren't a ton of options on the market, for whatever reason, for a great phone with a physical keyboard, but the G2 is a fantastic one, and easily the best on the market next to the Sprint/HTC Evo Shift (since it's the same internals as the G2 anyway). Remember, even flagships like the Xperia Play have nearly the same exact hardware as the G2, so it's not like it's a crappy phone or something, just not cutting edge any more.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tvdang7:
Hardware wise its the same phone and will be the same subforum .just like the g2 AND desire Z , HTC leo AND the HD2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandale:
Sure the specs on the G2x is amazing, but i would perfer my G2 over the G2x anyday. What I love about my G2 is that it has a beautiful qwerty keyboard & personailly the g2x looks like plastic. The G2 looks like a ****ing Rock. So which one do you rather have a big peice of crappy Plastic or a nice tough looking Rock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Like others have said here is my list of importance.

1. physical keyboard (i must have it, i cannot do without it)

2. android os (duh...)

3. spec (finally my 3rd i would finally have to start looking at speed and memory)

Maybe the keyboard isnt important to you, if that is so then you have a much larger selection.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pr.TOSHIBA:
G2!

G2 all the way!

Once you've gone hardware keyboard you cant go back. The keyboard is really a big draw the phone has. There aren't really any negative traits about the G2, besides that it's just slightly older. The 800 mhz processor isn't a negative trait about the phone. HTC makes much higher quality phones that LG:eek: (in my opinion). And there is not really anything that the G2x has that the G2 doesn't, aside from being game-focused (or at least the T-Mobile website makes it sound game-focused.

My vote is for the G2 for sure.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
A shiny rock :) But yeah, qwerty plus HTC and quality exterior beat LG anyday.
[G2 and Desire Z General] YaKillaCJ:
I came from the cliq... I feel her pain. Dont get me wrong, that phone was like a better iPhone sacrificing the High-End games. But man if its 1 thing I learned from that lesson. Its patients, timing and the right manufacture.

The G2 has a few things no other phone tmobile to date has to offer. Total Openess. Means long community support. G1 still fully supported cause its pure google. Only other phone is the Nexus S which lacks Keyboard, no SDCard, and is Samsung.

Not a single Dual-Core phone is pure Google yet or even a popular HTC for that matter (Like the EVO). Now the Evo 3D would be a good by because itll be way ahead of every1 else, be purchased by many, and its HTC. Most importantly translate to a large Community Base/Support.
[G2 and Desire Z General] stian230:
G2 for ever or to Evo 3D comes
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Is there a phone that doesnt have "old technology" (laughs) with a QWERTY keyboard?
[G2 and Desire Z General] angr1112:
Voted for the G2. Been running a custom ROM based on CM7 on my rooted G2, this thing is fast, very fast. I have it over clocked at 1.5GHz
[G2 and Desire Z General] thelonealchymist:
I came into the android scene rather late I had a storm and then an eris rather briefly before moving back to my home state and cutting ties with verizon as my contract was up (traded for the eris on craigslist) then I tried my luck with sprint and got the pre I quickly returned that for a black berry tour (I was sick of always being connected to the charger but would love to try web os again if they ever improve that). Soon I found my self sick of sprint always messing up my bill and moved to tmobile in november were I picked up a G2. I honestly loved it at first but was soon so into the rooting scene I traded it for a N1 after using the N1 for a month I sold it to a budy and picked up a G2 agian. Don't get me wrong I loved the support the N1 got but I just needed the G2 again because I missed this amazing keyboard and honestly I've been thinking of trading up to a G2X my self but I don't see any great support for it and will miss this amazing keyboard and honestly let's face in less then7 months a G3 or whatever will be announced and it will most likley be an improved 2x core G2 so my honest opinion for u would to be sell ur G1 to the highest bidder grab a G2 on craigslist and wait till sept or oct for ur upgrade because phones prolly won't go farther then duel core for awhile untill beefier batterys show up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Old technology... that made me laugh.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
If I was in your position, I would definately go for the G2X. Why? Because it fixed everything I don't like about my G2. The harware keyboard on the G2 is absolutely amazing. The layout(stagered keys FTW), the spacing, the feel, everything is just so absolutely perfect about it. But you know what? I barely ever use it. I send close to 4000 texts a month and make tons of comments on posts and such all the time. The TS keyboard is comfortable enough to type out anything I want. What other purpose in there for the keyboard? Emulators? You can't change a button into a joystick. And a wiimote classic is way better anyways, be it N64oid or PSX4droid

The G2X is about 50% thinner and has smaller dimmensions all around. The screen is bigger! You have no idea how often I've wanted a bigger screen. Everytime I look at my uncles vibrant I get jelous of his screen. 3.7 is definately not small, but bigger is definately better. The G2X comes with an UNLOCKED bootloader and STOCK android (not the HTC sense with an AOSP theme the G2 comes with)! CM7 is already running on it and it has CWM recovery and it hasn't even been released! Cyanogen himself even stated on his twitter that he's ditching his G2 for the G2X.

The G2X is made out of plastic. So? Just get a leather case for it and you will never even notice. The dual core tegra2 is an absolute BEAST! Our hardware is definately not old but it pales in comparison to tegra2. Just look at smartbench 2011 for proof of that. And also tegra2 overclocks to 1.5Ghz. The GPU in the G2X completely blows away the Adreno205 in the G2 anyday.

As great as the G2 is, all of us are using last years tech. The G2X will have an insane ammount of developer support. I just can't see a reason to buy the G2 anymore.

And mog, didn't you create a crazy contraption with a wiimote and a phone stand?
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Lol yup

If it comes to someone that needs a physical keyboard the g2x is not a choice :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] SkullNBones19:
Htc. Sensation that's what I'm getting :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] eneka:
The only things I wish were better on the G2 is a nicer screen (the samsung galaxy s is simply beautiful..), again the galaxy s' speaker...and a front facing camera would be nice...other that that it's a great phone that you can't go wrong with!
[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
I would like to get one but me and the wife are having a baby and it's not gonna happen. I'll be ready for the g3 though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sukhoi-27:
I dislike LG ，so I dislike G2X. And G2X hasn't qwerty keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kevinik:
I was thinking of getting the Sensation too. But I expected more out of the Sensation specs. It was supposedly going to be HTC flagship... Yet it doesn't have the new 41 Mbps capabilities to make it future proof. Just the regular "4G" 14 Mbps capabilities that the G2 already has. The G2x has a 21 Mbps capabilities.
[G2 and Desire Z General] infamousjax:
I read the engadget review for the g2x and it said the touch screen was not as sensitive as other android handsets.... anyone have any experience with this? i havent used one, but i cant see where it looks to be inferior in any of the review videos, and engadget is the only source I can find that makes such a claim.

I really want one, but I think I'll hold onto my g2 for at least a couple more months. hell, it does everything i need.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
Was rockin my G2 with Cyanogenmod for months, CM7 has been great to me. Picked up a G2X, and honestly, im really missing Cyanogenmod. Lack of notifications and trackpad ... ehh
[G2 and Desire Z General] icy56:
Just watching this video makes me want the g2x.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdBHj3DlYQ0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

At least this phone is some what future proof for the next year or two. I can already tell that the community is going to grow and once there's roms this phone will be even more amazing. I have the galaxy s 4g and I'm seriously regretting it. Just looking at how much better the g2x is makes me feel like my phone is from the stone ages. Don't do what i did and get the g2x.
[G2 and Desire Z General] stian230:
Oh crap ! Now Cris Soyars and Steve got the g2x hmm I'm guessing it would be my next device
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Who cares! It's not like any other decent device won't get CM support anyways. It doesn't really make a difference. That sounds like an isheep pov, really... get a phone you will like not just because someone else gets it... even if it is cyanogen. Trust me, I've had phones that he hasn't and they get the same support as any other, really.
[G2 and Desire Z General] stian230:
yes but I think that by having the same phone as the biggest and best android developers. I'm sure to get the best software on my handset that is on the market. I have tried so very many bugy ROMs
[G2 and Desire Z General] tackleberry:
the lack of keyboard is the biggest deterrent for the G2x for me, but with the larger screen it may not be too bad, and the lack of trackpad (which i only use for wake up anyway) is a minor detail that i would like but would not totally keep me away from it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
That's true... my only concern is these new bootloaders are encrypted even on HTC devices. Locked ones we could handle but encrypted ones... we are screwed. LG and Samsung maybe our only choices for Android smartphones if this keeps up. It's very troubling indeed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Chinam4n:
I personally wouldn't get a G2x, you could wait for newer phones to come out later in the year. If you're looking for a phone without a keyboard, I would say wait for the HTC Sensation. I plan to snag one when it releases to the U.S.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xboarder56:
I do to planing on deving over there :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] stian230:
Yeah I see you point , i brickt my first DZ after 22 hours in attempt to root it . But i really do not want a G2x .. I and my buddy we buy new phones all the time and have done it a long time. and he has bought g2x a few weeks ago so I can not buy it ..;) must find something better. i want a htc device
[G2 and Desire Z General] enp82003:
I figure the older the phone the more hacks and customization you will get.

Look at the G1 so many roms for it! As one of the first droid OS devices it can run Gingerbread! I love my G2 phone as much as i loved my G1 phone for the short time i had it. And unless a dualcore, 3D, hacked, qwerty phone comes out i am sticking by it! :P. why would i waste my money on buying a locked down phone with less features? :confused: just because there is an X next to the 2? LOL!

P.S. Seems right now is the best time to own a G2. LOTS of custom roms out for it!
[G2 and Desire Z General] wrapper:
G2/DZ is still the best Android phone with a keyboard, had mine for 6 months and it's still the perfect phone for me.

If there was a dual core phone with a keyboard coming out, I'd wait for that. I've not seen anything though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lainvalenajr:
Uh... I came from the MOTOROLA cliq and i swear i will never buy a MOTOROLA phone ever again. I will only buy from HtC or something other than motorola
[G2 and Desire Z General] zanson:
Voted G2x simply put, i would love to have one, and if you can live without a hard KB (which, is simple to learn and get used to) their is no reason to get anything but the g2x
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pickx:
IMO this is the right way to go:

- want a phone without a keyboard? Samsung Galaxy S II (exynos)

- want a phone with a keyboard? Keep waiting (hopefully there will be an SGS2 variant with a keyboard)
[G2 and Desire Z General] hiko36:
I don't know if this is mentioned or not but the G2x is not pentaband so it will not support ATT 3G. The information everyone is citing was originally posted by Tmobile but was incorrect.
[G2 and Desire Z General] PatrickHuey:
Ill be waiting for the sensation. But I did get some hands on with the device...and wow. It really is the snappiest phone I've ever held in my hands. Stock android, aaaand dual core? What else could ya want.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojo_4664:
I had this problem when I published an app, so I monkied around with it until I figured it out. When I disabled copy protection on my app, suddenly it was compatible with my device (Sony Xperia Play) and I was able to install through the android market.

Copy protection is now deprecated and is being replaced with a new licensing feature, so assuming licensing doesn't have the same bug this problem will in theory be phased out.

So if you are a developer and some people can't see your app, disable copy protection and use licensing instead. I also suggest using the Android SDK built in ProGuard feature to obfuscate (scramble) your code to make it harder to reverse engineer.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lubo777:
Hmmmm. it seems that my problems with Android Market was due to the DPI change which I made - the display density.

I changed my HTC Desire back from 200 dpi to the default value if 200 dpi, after that I cleared Android Market data and cache and restarted the phone.

After that on Android Market the problem with the "This item is not compatible with your device" error on some applications was fixed.

P.S. For changeing the display density you can use one of this apps from the Market: LCD Density or LCD Density Changer

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomMelee:
I'm currently running Firefly 2.7, but I've had a similar issue across a couple roms and several modems. The only successful tethering I've EVER done has been via Firefly here and whatever stock kernel/modem it comes with.

Basically, I'm looking for anyone to explain to me what process they use to tether...

I've never successfully USB tethered. I've hotspotted twice, once it worked GREAT (I was plugged into usb at the time for power), it was fast and flawless. I tried over and over again one day and finally got it to connect, but it repeatedly wanted to time out and error, although it never lost its wifi connection. That time I was NOT plugged in.

These are both using the baked-in tether options in Froyo---USB tether and hotspot, NOT using an external app. I've also used PDANet successfully, but I'd prefer to be able to bounce between systems (I actually use about 5 different laptops regularly) and share the connection on the road.

All my systems are using Win 7, selecting home or work as network type. Any suggestions welcome.

Quick edit: I've noticed that sometimes with this rom my wifi will stop working all together---I don't leave it on normally, but sometimes it won't turn on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
i dont have any wifi issues with Firefly

I have never done USB tether before now. It worked on first try. took me less than a minute to figure out and have working.

however to enable USB tethering.

plug USB into PC

Press Menu button

Press Settings

Press Wireless and Network

Press Tethering

Press CHECK enable.

PC will do the rest by itself. (win 7 64 / other drivers pre-installed)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomMelee:
Yea, that's pretty much exactly what I did. You're successfully hotspotting and usb tethering w/ firefly base rom? Hmm. Anyone else?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
tethering AND hot-spotting?...

no i tethered only. ( PC got internet from PHONE via USB )

hot spotting is wifi.. ( aslo know as Mobile AP )

you want to do both? or...?

EDIT: you can also share internet through Bluetooth if your pc has it. mine does.

EDIT EDIT: to get my Mobile AP fully connected (no limited connectivity), i had to have windows "Troubleshoot the connection" . And setup your Mobile AP settings on Phone to use WPA2 with password. your phone # is a good choice for PW.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomMelee:
I just want to do one OR the other successfully each time. Bluetooth isn't a choice currently, really the Mobile AP is the best overall solution. I had just left it open to see if I could connect, but if I can make it work every time I'll certainly secure.
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Originally posted this in viperrom thread, but now I'm putting it here too. If anybody has any knowledge of this, I'd love to see this come to fruition. I think this would do well to serve a lot of users, as it extremely cut down on my battery usage, more so than any other mod.

Pasted and edited:

I don't know if this is rom or kernel related, but there is an old eclair mod I miss that I would LOVE to see enabled in roms.

it was on baked snack, I may be incorrectly referring to it but I think it was the 11% mod...basically, when you moved the brightness slider to a point slightly ABOVE the minimum it set the screen to an even lower minimum brightness (not quite desk clock ultra dim low lol)

It was perfect for viewing in the evening, or at home while at night (so under house lighting) and saved an INCREDIBLE amount of battery, I would only lose about 1% of battery for every ten minutes of screen on time

/end paste

This doesn't neccessarily need to be a baked in mod. If it is possible to do it within rom (eg, by hand), or if its simple enough, then does anybody know how? If its something that needs devved and baked in, well then this a request lol.
