[T-Mobile LG G2x] 90teggy:
With all the complaining about this phone flooding the forums, I thought I would post something positive that I found improves the phone. When I purchased this phone I knew nothing about it other then it had a nvidia dual core...I had to have it. 2 hours later while in the market it froze. Removed battery and never turned on again. So back to store to get another. :-( Needless to say phone has been fine since. However I had too had some of the ever popular issues. Decided to root it using one click root and installed nvflash. Backed up stock rom and flashed the gingerbread leaked rom. No more problems. I had a problem with the phone lagging bad while trying to type. Reinstalled Rom and ok now. I use antutu CPU master. I have setup the profiles to my like. I basically turned it down to 608mhz Max and while it is charging it is normal. Phone is not as snappy, but is still fast enough for normal use. This gave me a instant battery gain. Before I couldn't go more then 4 hours without a charger (pretty lame) now I have gone 12 hours of what I consider normal use. So...there is nothing more to complain about other then LG and Google need to get there sh__ together and give us some updates. Pretty bad when you have to do all this to get this phone to work.

Sick of heari.g about the sensation... i am thinking that before the g2x came out everyone thought it was going to solve the world. I think some people just need excuses to have the latest and greatest phones. Come on people the grass isn't always greener.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
Not to rain on your parade, but I'd hardly call having to run a leaked buggy rom and then underclock your processor by about 40% just to get it to work properly positive news. That's just more information that confirms how substantial the current problems are. To underclock your phone almost 40% pretty much defeats the purpose of having a dual core phone. If you're going to do that you might as well have gotten a G2 or Nexus S or something. Also to have done all that and have still only gotten 12 hours of battery life isn't really that impressive. I'm not trying to be controversial, I'm just offering a bit of perspective. To lose almost half of your processing power just to match the battery life that other phones (ex. Sensation) can get out of the box using the full processor is definitely not a positive. Quite frankly I find that to be quite the opposite...meaning it's very negative. The grass may not always be greener on the other side, but at least for me, in my opinion...after having tried both sides of the grass..it's definitely greener. While that may change in the future after the cure-all update (the one everyone is praying actually fixes the phone), as of right now the reality of the situation is the G2X needs fixing before its ready for prime time. Until then it's just merely a phone with potential.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I tried both and the sensation just pissed me off. Damn girly phone...lol

G2x is better imo... Stable for me..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mysterioustko:
so very eloquently put...well I'll play along...then I guess that makes the G2X schizophrenic then huh? lol Nah but seriously though I'm not trying to hijack his thread into a "phone a is better than phone b" thread. My thing was I'm just pointing out that his "positive news", really isn't a positive at all..and quite frankly I find it to be an indictment of the device more than anything. So though his intent may have been positive news, it really delivered negative news.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nguyenmd:
+1.

There are no greatest and latest fone. Sensation will have its own problems. My g2x with EB1.04 GB, together with setcpu runs flawless, not a single problem. Thanks to the EB developer(s).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I unplug my phone at 8am and throw it on the charger at midnight. I use it pretty heavily throughout the day. I'm always sending corporate exchange emails, personal emails, SMS, twitter news links, and facebook.. along with wordfeud and kingdoms live a few times a day plus whatever game I find throughout the day.

Pretty happy with battery life. I'm running CM7 and stock kernel. Custom Kernels OC/UV typically have much better battery life. I also don't use SetCPU or anything special. Just stock CM7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xerphon:
I've only had the G2X for a few days, but so far I've had no problems whatsoever. I checked for the backlight bleeding and luckily my phone doesn't have that issue. Everything else is working great and the phone is amazingly fast. If it helps the date on the box is 5/09/11
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Ya I use my phone heavily and I go to sleep around 2am and I have around 30 percent by the end of the day. I'm running stock and I just froze all the T-Mobile apps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LordButtersI:
If you download SetCPU or something else that can underclock with profiles, set it so it underclocks to the minimum when the screen is off. Your battery life will go through the roof.

I can go an entire day without a charge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knickfan5745:
Something is wrong if you're only getting 4 hours at stock clocks.

Try using the battery calibration app, and then if you can swing the ~$3, get JuiceDefender.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 90teggy:
You know your right. I am highly pissed with T-Mobile for not doing a _____ thing about this pos. It is ashame, because I swapped the galaxy s for this one. I have had many android phones and this is by far the worse case I've had. Really just trying to be patient and hope the update will solve issues. I wanted to post something that would possibly help someone else till this infamous update is released. In the phones defense, it is running two 1 gig cores, pretty impressive. There is no battery technology that would allow the capacity needed for this phone and maintain the slim form factor. I can understand that to a degree. I have seen the big battery for this phone and plan on purchasing it. I actually will like the fact that I'll have something to hold on too. My other point was "the latest and greatest phone" is not always the solution. On another note, T-Mobile has absolutely the worse customer service! Very displeased that I am going to be supporting them for 1yr and 11 months yet!

[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
I stopped by the TMO store near work today and checked out the sensation. I spent a good 10minutes with it (no one else was at the store)

Despite being thicker, it felt thinner in hand. I actually do like the overall design and feel better than the boxy feeling of Galaxy S II. That being said, if i hear another HTC fanboi whine about the Galaxy S II being too plasticy(lol), I will snap the plastic pieces from the back cover of the sensation and shove them in their mouth. Outside of the little center piece, construction material is very similar

Now to the device performance. It was sad to see the device run so slowly with the sense overlay. Maybe i spent too much time with the GS II but it's very noticeable. I even asked the store rep when the device was rebooted and she said earlier today :( I don't think i rebooted my GSII since the reflash to KE2 from KE7. When i handed her my phone to the rep while i played with the sensation, she said the samething about the quickness of the device.

I enjoyed the sense in the old days of winmo but now it just seems overly complicated. On my captivate, i ran the stock android launcher over TW3 and TW4 was pretty refreshing until i ran into a few limitations and swapped it out with LP.

There are many more things needing comparison but that would happen soon when i recommend the sensation for my co-worker who's using TMO.

Edit: Screen was pretty decent. It wasn't as bad as some of the review said it was but it wasn't great either. Also the web browser and TMO service ran pretty smoothly but it did choke slightly during the scroll while browsing engadget
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
I played with it myself. The look and feel gives an impression of higher quality than the plasticy sgs2. Yes, I did have to say it because its true. Saying otherwise would be a lie. It should be pretty obvious where I spent my money and I did so because I believed this was a better device all in. That is how I spend my money, I don't give a rats ass who makes my phone I just want the best possible device money can buy. That doesn't mean I don't call a spade a spade though and the sensation gives off the impression of better build quality. Speaking the truth does not make someone a fanboy and I have yet to see the perfect device.

I also found that it felt less fluid in the gui. There was another guy there who was scoping the phone too and we both compared it to mine. Both of us felt that it was smoother pretty much everywhere but particularly in the browser where the difference is not small.

We both felt the screens were a push overall but this related partly to size. The screens gave about the same impression of available real estate but the thinner width of the sensation allowed by the screen gave it a better feel in hand. IMO this may be the way to go in size and shape down the road.

On sense we disagreed, he loves it and loved it on the sensation. I find it overbearing and the latest iteration on the sensation did nothing to change that.

You miss a lot fiddling around with a phone for 5 minutes in a store but I felt like I had made a good choice with sgs2 over this one which had also been on my short list. An interesting point. That fellow that was scoping the sensation with me, I believe he had been sold on it before he got there. Having played with mine and the demo though he did not buy. He did inquire about where one buys an sgs2 though and left empty handed with a thoughtful look on his face. lol
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
Sense doesn't slowdown a device, what you call sense is rosie and it's just a launcher, sense actually is a whole user experience with improved email, message, gallery, keyboard, widgets, locations, likes, etc etc etc but this doesn't slow the device down if certainly if you do not use them. I do know that especially in the app drawer sense can feel less fluid but this actually is a feature, since sense 2.1, and after a while you become used to used and come to appreciate it because it allows you to scroll many rows at a time but still have an overview. Switching home screens and using the carousel was superfluid on the device I tested as was starting up apps.

I also played with it for a view moments in a store unfortunately their was no free wifi, so I couldnt really test the browsing but I did notice I could zoom out much more on the sensation whilst the text remained legible
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
Maybe the one that i was playing with needed a reboot? It was pretty sluggish in everything. Scrolling through the app drawer, scrolling between home screens, etc.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
Like I said the slow scrolling through apps in the app drawer is a feature, it scrolls one entire screen and then stops, so you can look at the icons and decide to scroll further, in previous sense versions the scrolling through the app drawer was very fast but it was also easy to scroll way past the app you wanted, I prefer it this was, though it appears at first less smooth

giving the carousel a spin was super smooth on the sensation I tested but rosie has always been supersmooth for my too on my desire (and I say this as someone who has reported dozens of bugreports for unsmooth scrolling and various other animations to eg. opera, xorg, various graphic drivers, qt, kwin, and kernels in several linux distros!)
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
There is a difference between slow scrolling and rough scrolling. That's what i was experiencing throughout the interface. Like i said before, maybe it needs a reboot or maybe i've gotten used to the SGS II.

PS. Excited for whatever it is.

Pretty certain that it won't unlock. It isn't GB, but it'll be nice to have some bug fixes.

No, I know. I'm just saying that the OTA isn't an update to GB. It'll still be 2.2. ;)

Maybe its a preperation patch for a future bootloader patch. Or just a bug fix patch yea.. either way anything is better than nothing!

This maybe still just rumor but some one in fascinate forum posted they looked earlier in Twitter postings and said it maybe GB. Honestly don't think it is either but we'll see when it come.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] acdaazn:
please let it be a GB/unlocked bootloader combo~ PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE~

but back to reality, it's likely going to be a froyo with an unlocked bootloader, that would be my guess

Either one would work for us GB would be nice hut as ling as we get an unlock that would be nice.

From HTC today:

"I understand that you are wondering when the Incredible 2 will have its boot loader unlocked. We’re pleased to announce that we have heard everyone’s comments and constructive suggestions and have decided to go forward with this initiative. We currently don’t have information regarding which existing phones will be unlocked. Keep an eye on our official website and official social media outlets for announcements about which phones will be bootloader unlocked and when."
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
That kinda sucks for developers (if they unlock bootloader before the end of this month) because they worked pretty hard on the S-OFF, but it'll probably be another month or so before we get the "official" S-OFF from HTC.

I don't know what to do. I checked the similar threads to see I already tried most of them (factory reset, clean, reflash etc). The phone is unlocked and rooted (RCMix3D). I don't think the phone's SIM card reader is the problem though because when I put the SIM card in, the phone immediately gets a message saying "Unable to read SIM Card" so the phone knows that there's something there. When I reset it though, I get the "No SIM card in phone" error. I also can't go to the Mobile Network settings because they're gre

Default Re: "No Sim Card in Phone" Error

SIM card might be loose, put a small piece of paper or something thicker to lodge the SIM card in. That`s still not right though, call HTC for a replacement.

My advice try this..

How old is your SIM?

apperently if it is pre-2009 it's not always compatible with new phones (I base this info on no scientific evidence whatsoever :o)

A friend of mine got his desire S and he experienced the same problem. The carrier's helpdesk sent him a new SIM and now he is all troublefree! Might give your carrier a ring, maybe they're aware of this problem
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I purchased the G2X on opening day only to return 3 of them in the first week due to bugs. On my forth try I received a bug free G2X and at that point it became a good phone. It was extremely fast and it responded instantly to every button press. Coming from a Vibrant, I wasn't to impressed with the display as I found it pretty average. The browser was fast, I got good download speeds and great WiFi speeds. The hardware of the device felt solid and I liked the rubberized back plate which had an aluminum strip that made it look professional. All in all it was one of the best phones I have ever used speed wise. There wasn't really anything to complain about once I got a bug free G2X.

That being said, I purchased a Sensation from Wal-Mart on the 8th of July and had to return it the same day due to it freezing once and rebooting a couple times. I just purchased my second Sensation 2 days ago and have been using it since. In my opinion, I really don't know why people are complaining about the speed of the device. As so as I got it, I turned off all animations within Sense because I really don't care about eye candy. I care more about responsiveness which I'm sure most everyone here can agree. There might be a slight difference in terms of responsiveness leaning in the G2X's favor but lets be honest. It's really not that much of a difference and is only noticeable to us hardcore phone geeks. Everything you do within the Sensation is still instant. On to the browser. I find that the Sensations browser is much faster than the G2X and plays flash content at a higher frame rate. The camera on both devices were about the same as I am no photographer so I really couldn't tell a difference. I have noticed that the Sensation records video's more smoothly and in my opinion they look better as well. So far I have played every game I usually played on the G2X (HomeRun Battle and Angry Birds) and they are just as smooth as I have been used to. I even think they look a little better due to the higher resolution display. Speaking of the display, I think it's phenomenal. The resolution puts more content on the screen which leads to less scrolling, the colors are more vibrant so in my opinion, it's a all around better display. The only area I would say the G2X has the edge is voice quality. The person on the other end sounds a little hallow/tinny if that makes any sense.

By the way, I know I have only used the device for 2 days but I haven't had some of the problems others are having such as the lock screen not recognizing touches, data stalling, dust under the display or yellowish tint on the display.

On a side note, I don't know how many widgets or what you all have installed on your devices to only have 120mb of available memory on a fresh reboot but on my Sensation it is showing 278mb of available memory. I think one of the main reasons why people are seeing lag on these videos is because every single review I have seen, the idiot has every widget and it's mother loaded on all seven home screens. Even though you have the option to add 100 widgets, it doesn't mean it's recommended.
[HTC Sensation] Arcadia310:
I agree with everything you said. Everyone here keeps complaining about how laggy the phone is but honestly, I'm not seeing it. When it stutters its so minimal that it isn't even noticeable. When I say something is laggy, I mean it looks like the phone is running at 10fps. I've had no issues with lag, and like you said not to do, I have all 7 homescreens filled with apps and widgets. No lag at all.

The G2x feels faster because they made the animation speed super fast. In daily tasks, its no faster than the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Jerzeeloon:
Wow op It's crazy how our experiences are virtually paralleled.I too came from vibrant,I 1st tried to buy the g2x but returned it after 3 exchanges due you the fact that all 3 had screen bleeding,random reboots and WiFi problems.I then purchased the sensation on the 8th at my local walmart and I'm quite happy with it,I have not experienced any problems at all and the screen is great.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
That's pretty funny. I'm glad you didn't exchange your first Sensation like I did or I would have really freaked the hell out. Do you have the same opinion with me about coming from the Vibrant and the display on the G2X not wowing you. I understand the display on the Sensation isn't as vibrant as the Galaxy S series but the colors are still sharp and the resolution more than makes up for it.

I'm getting a lot of card unexpectedly removed errors. I was wondering if there is something known to cause this. I have reformatted the card a few times after experiencing this error using Windows 7. The card will work for a while, and then it happens again. I have a 16gb Sandisk card. It's only class 2. I wonder if it's the problem. I never had a single problem with it in my Tilt 2. I have about 9gb of music on it. I may scale that back to about 5gb. Also, when I place files on the card using the card reader rather than directly onto the phone in USB mode, I seem to get better results. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
