[T-Mobile LG G2x] JRudnik:
This is my official letter of resignation to the G2X.

I purchased my G2X about a month ago, thinking that everything would be just peachy. This phone was top-of-the-line material, dual-core, HDMI, and everything I thought would be cool.

I have had this phone a while now, and I am getting sick of it.

It all started with the text messaging. I would get message after message after message of the

same

message, like my friends were text-bombing me. Turns out they weren't. I called T-Mobile, and they said that it was a "message database error. Our server thinks that your phone didn't get the message, so it resends it in hopes that it receives it." Well, it wasn't the server. It was the phone. I flashed CyanogenMod nightly onto the device, and successfully fixed that error.

Second, the battery life. The device drinks battery like a drunken sailor drinks alcohol. I couldn't make the device last a full day. No matter if I froze the bloatware and didn't use it, the phone would be dead by nightfall. However, through CyanogenMod, it let up on the drink-age, but not enough. Also, the CyanogeMod nightly would have strange errors with the battery display. It would lock at a certain percentage, then drop unexpectedly, and lock again.

Third, the GPS. No matter where I am, the GPS will not locate me quickly. If I want to get directions back home, it can find the directions easily. But, it spends

15 minutes

trying to locate me. I drive and I drive in hopes of a location, but to no luck. Finally, as I approach my house, it kicks in and guides me the rest of the way. I just think on a phone with such processing power, GPS should be the last of my worries.

Fourth, the screen-bleed. Now, this is debatable, and I feel as though my device doesn't really have too much of an issue with this. But, I still cited it as a problem with T-Mobile, because it really is. When the screen is blacked-out, I can see white patches in the corners drawing into the center. Not good for such an expensive device.

Lastly, the heat. This phone cooks at higher temperatures than my George Forman. When I am trying to download a large package or watch a movie, this phone gets hot to the touch. The battery feels warm, and my hands get all sweaty. Not good.

I went into T-Mobile today, and asked if I could have a replacement or exchange. They said no. I had passed up my 14-day return policy.

I found it odd that the G2X was not visible in the store at all. Before, it had been placed prominently in the high-end-smartphone section, with a spotlight to attract attention. Now, it has been replaced with the G2. The store still has the cases and screen protectors, but no G2X.

I called T-Mobile and asked for a replacement device, it is all I could do.

One thing I found interesting was that with all the issues I relayed to the representative, she said none of them are issues with the device that T-Mobile knows of. I really want to call shenanigans on that. T-Mobile has to know about this.

My hopes are to get two replacements within 90-days. This will qualify me for a replacement with another phone of similar qualities. The lady on the phone told me that the computer analyzes the phones and chooses a compatible one for me. I am crossing my fingers that the compatible phone will be the Sensation.

The replacement comes in the mail tomorrow.

I plan on waiting a few days before calling back and citing the errors that the replacement has.

So, good bye G2X. Hello, Sensation.

What are some other issues with the device that are worth citing?

I know it's kinda "morally incorrect" but, I want to know these errors so I can have a full arsenal when I call.
