Yeah, sorry, that was the jealousy talking. It is cool that they let you keep both phones... but to call a mans reading comprehension in to question?? I say, how dare you sir, or madame(using my excellent reading skills, I will use context clues to deduce the answer to my quandary, and i will put my money on the sir)!! My comprehension is fine, I just skip over the boring parts and fill in with the word "blahbity"(I got through the last Harry Potter in like 30 minutes using that technique. Harry is on the run. Blahbity. Voldemort looking for something. Blahbity. Nagini was the last horcrux!!! Errr spoiler alert).

So I read.

I have a g2x, I BOUGHT a sensation to try it out and see if I may want to get one. Blahbity. T-Mobile is sending me ANOTHER Sensation for free. I have 3 phones.

I skipped over the part where you gave the first Sensation to your wife, a chivalrous move bee tee dub, so I apologize for not taking time to fully read the op. Upon my rereading it, the complexity of the story really came to light and I enjoyed it so much more.

Again, sorry for letting the green eyed monster take over.

Bitterness and sarcasm for the... Nah... Nevermind

Too bad people with flexpay cant do this...I don't even think we can negotiate
[T-Mobile LG G2x] N31N:
tmo rep here; it really was just an unusual set of circumstances. kudos to you going through the trouble of 4 exchanges, but the usual (and technically unspoken) rule is that once you've done 3 within 90 days; as a preventative measure, Customer Care can offer you a different phone*.

Makes sense to me so far.

A rep failed to service your return within your buyers remorse (fourteen days in most states, 30 in CA and maybe WA, not sure on WA but CA for sure**), and Customer Care picks up the slack because its not your fault.

Yep, that happens on the ground too.

Weird manufacturer return policies are kind of nonsense to me anyway, but that is the technical rule***. None of the stores I've been at get complaints for sending em late or anything, so its not that big a deal but i guess they decided to let the rules work for you as opposed to just sending you a return shipping label for them to stash it away for while.

*This rule applies to anyone, at any point in their contract. Best if you have insurance, or at least the extended warranty to cover shipping; which i understand may still be $5 since the Asurion price hike.

**exchanging four times wont even happen at any brick&mortar because the reps are either gonna

1) offer you something else sooner

2) be frustrated that youre chewing through their active inventory over what? screen bleed? they dont care, and theyd prefer to sell them to people that dont care about screen bleed either BUT...

***we cant sell returned phones, technically. if we're desperate enough- wipe all the data and polish it up nicely, we can sell it and itll never come back on us. the reality is that if its just a return on the basis of cosmetics,not having the software support or motherboard(for flashing whatever) you were looking for, or unsatisfactory screens; the handset still operates perfectly fine on the network, and is still covered under its 1 year warranty for future exchanges, counting from the first day it touched the network in any way.

plus at the end of the day, OP and his wife's 2 years of service is gonna net tmobile a lot more money than the g2x hits, they might even sell em as refurbs later too. hah. god bless corporate america.

HOWEVER, the only thing that doesnt make sense3.0 was doing it for the other Sensation. OP, did you by any chance get transferred to Retentions & Loyalty?

ps i realize my sentences run on quite a bit, thanks for dealing :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Ok, now I'm definitely lost due to the ambien kicking in. I really wasn't trying to rub somethin in. It just blew my mind when the guy told me to keep the G2X. I was expecting them to say pay the $50 difference and send the G2X back in its original box including accessories. Sorry if I came across cocky or something.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I was dealing with retention and loyalty since the initial call on the 11th. Everyone knows they can do more. Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
Dude, I was there with you. I was so pissed because Flex Pay seemed like such a racket. But T-Mobile is trying to do away with flex pay and has a list of people who are eligible for a really post paid account! My credit still is horrible, but I went in to get a new phone, they checked the list and moved me to a normal post paid account. Go in and find out! Plus i save 10 bucks a month. I feel like less of a dead beat now!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cstone1991:
Awesome to here man. I work for T-Mobile so its good to hear they did the right thing sending you the Sensation. They probably told you to keep the g2x because they just processed it as an upgrade and used bill credits to make it free (could have been a price override, not sure because I'm in telesales not customer service.) You should check to see if your upgrade date changed. Depending on how they did it that may have been renewed.

On another note: to the guy complaining about flexpay, sign up for easypay and wait 6 months. You'll probably be eligible to convert to postpayed, if not call back every month after that to check! Good luck man. I know flexpay care sucks!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I never did an upgrade. I purchased the G2X at the retail price. Your right about them adding the cost of the Sensation to my bill and then paying for it with Bill credits though. It was a $342.77 charge which leads me to believe that is what T Mobile gets the Sensations for from HTC. I just can't beleieve how readily they were to eat the cost of the Sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cstone1991:
Hmm... that sounds like they did an upgrade... the retail on that phone is 550. I don't think they get it for much less than they charge for retail (I bet T-Mobile pays about 450 or so.) The current full discount would be 300 for the Phone + 18 for the upgrade fee. Tax and shipping would easily make that 342.77. Normally you would be getting a 50 mail in rebate but that wouldn't matter in your case. You definitely should make sure they didn't take your upgrade or extend your contract because I can almost guarantee they processed that as a same as new upgrade which would have renewed your contract and reset your upgrade. They could have (and probably did) more work to fix it but regardless, I would definitely check your upgrade and contract dates to be sure. If they did chang either of them you can probably have it fixed if you call in soon, but if you wait too long they will probably tell you that you're out of luck.

I'll check back on this later, but I gotta get to bed. Good luck! I hope everything is right on your account. You probably should check all the lines on your account if you have more than just yours to be safe.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Before we hung up I asked him if I was still out of contract and he said yes since I purchased my G2X outside of contract. He said this was doing nothing to my account other than charging it and then crediting it. He then reiterated that this was not a contract and that he added a discount to the Sensation price which will show up on a billing statement as already been credited. If for some reason they did this as a upgrade after I

havent been under conctract for years so if they want to try and play that game then im all ready .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cstone1991:
Ok cool. Just watching out for you man. Enjoy your Sensation... er... uh... phones! Lol. I've just seen peoples accounts get all messed up before so I'm overly cautious. Yesterday a lady had a data card and lost the device. She called in to get a new one and someone decided to take her upgrade and renew her contract to give her a month of free service but no device. It took like an hour and a half but after calling multiple departments we got her the device though.

Sent from my GSB Eris
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Thanks for looking out. I am going to call right now to see if I am still out of contract.

Update....Just got off the phone with customer service and asked them if my line was still out of contract. She said it is but it looks like the contract just ended as of yesterday but I haven't been in contract for over a year. Does that make sense?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] randyp007:
How do i call retention and loyalty

Hi guys I was just wondering on how do I get to talk to people with retention and loyalty because my third g2x is coming in the mail and I have been a customer for over a decade and want the sensation for my g2x because this phone has way too many problems for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] N31N:
you've gotta be real firm, but polite, with whoever you're talking to and just ask for Retention; just dont go for it off the bat, i think you've gotta play ball with the first tier of Care's reps before you can get escalated to Retentions.

and OP, it sounds like R&L used their sacred powers of retroactively dating the expiration of your contract, setting everything up this way makes it easier for the system software to process things when you decide its time for an upgrade or to cancel without having to keep lengthy notations explaining everything.

Or it could be some reason completely different, who knows with R&L.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I figured out a very easy way to go straight to the retention department without waiting or talking to someone else. When the computer voice asks why your calling just say "Cancel my Account". She then says "OK, ill get you right over".

BOOM...No waiting!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cstone1991:
Yep what they did is use your upgrade which automatically renewed your contract then manually ended the contract. They did it the right way and everything should be good on your account. As someone else mentioned this is just the easiest way and in the books it looks like they are costing T-Mobile less money.

IMO, the G2x is a better phone than the Sensation. I wouldn't consider this an even exchange. Maybe a Sensation and one of them there pad things.

sent from my brain using osmosis
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
They didn't do a even exchange. They let me keep the G2X. I would have probably done the even exchange though. The Sensation does the things I care about most better. Different strokes for different folks.

Tried doing this myself, it seems like our wpa_supplicant is different from other Android phones. Even using the V0.6.10 wpa_supplicant ad-hoc fix meant that WiFi would not enable.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mejobloggs:
Rats :( I really wanted to get that going

How did you install it? Even if it doesn't work I still want to know how

Ideos X5 / Huawei U8800
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
Disable WiFi

Replace stock WPA_Supplicant

Enable WiFi

Then should work, but it just gets stuck and disables WiFi.

Although, I was watching logcat and it seems it is checking the wrong location for the wpa_supplicant.conf. Although, even placing it there doesn't allow it to correctly function.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mejobloggs:
Let's just pretend I'm so noob I don't even know how replace stock WPA_Supplicant *cough*
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sentiment:
You can enter recovery-mode (holding both volume-buttons and power-button on startup) and connect the phone to a pc, then replace the /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf with the custom file.

Or

Get the custom conf-file to your phone and copy-paste it to /etc/wifi/ with rootexplorer (don't forget to check "mount R/W" in rootexplorer)

Sweet, thanks guys.

Pity you said it doesn't work :(

Creating a hotspot on the phone just seems to share the phones internet, and I can't access the netbook from the phone. Will have to try find another way

I think he's trying to access the phones files wirelessly similar to Doubletwist Airsync or Kies Air.

Have a look at android sync manager.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] adamnz:
Connectify allows you to turn you pc into a wireless ap, It will allow his phone to talk to the rest of his network and internet.

This gets around the need to get android to connect to a ad-hoc wifi.

[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I want to tell you guys so bad but I have to wait 3 days. I don't want to **** up anything by a mass exodus of people calling T-Mobile and requesting the same thing. Stay tuned to this thread and be prepared to have your mind blown. Some of you will not believe it and I will think of a way to show proof over the next few days.
[HTC Sensation] dj75728:
Omg Becky! Like totally no way!
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
Let me guess...Because the G2X is being discontinued they are giving you a Sensation for a warranty exchange right? If that's it, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised. The Sensation is the only comparable phone TMO has, it makes sense to me. If so, you are sooooo stoked!
[HTC Sensation] crx4xharder:
Dude... You know this is the sensation forum right? I'd they exchanged it, congratulations. Unfortunately the sense ui on the sensation will leave you wondering if the g2x is actually the king here. After root and fully unlocked bootloader? We all know what happens then...
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
Let's ask ourselves why he would post this in the Sensation forum....HMMMM??
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Almost but that wouldn't be news worthy enough to post over. It's even better. Trust me.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
If you bothered reading any prior posts then you would realize that I already own a Sensation and a G2X so I have experience with both of them as I have been switching back and forth between the two for the past 3 days.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
They gave you one million dollars for being such a badass?
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Nope but they did give me a couple hundred dollars.....technically.
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
"Badass"....Classic!
[HTC Sensation] oBry3n:
They just pushed gingerbread to your g2x?
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
OK, I just thought to myself that I'm not going to **** up my deal T-Mobile gave me due to my account having extenuating circumstances. Here goes....

On June 11th I called T-Mobile and told them I was on my 4th G2X and was having problems with it since I wanted to exchange it for a Sensation. The rep I talked to in customer retention told me there was no comparable devices to the G2X at the time but told me about a phone named the Sensation coming out on the 15th and that it would be a comparable exchange. He continued to notate my account and told me to call back after the 15th for the exchange. In between that time I went out and bought one with the intentions of seeing which phone I liked better before I exchanged my G2X. I decided I like the Sensation better so I gave it to my wife. Turns out she likes the Sensation better as well so when I called T-Mobile yesterday the person I talked to said there was no possible way for her to do the exchange but she did in fact see the notations on my account. She told me she would send an email to the guy who notated my account with "Exchange G2X for Sensation" and have him call me today. He never called so I just called T-Mobile and spoke with someone else. After explaining them the entire story he put me on hold for 10 minutes so he could speak with his supervisor. He came back and said something I wasn't expecting. He told me when I called on the 11th I was still within my buyers remorse period but the original representative I talked to failed to do the return and told me to wait until the 15th . I am now outside of my buyers remorse period so T-Mobile is eating the cost and sending me the Sensation. I asked the representative if I should return the G2X with all of it's accessories in it's original box and at this point he said the unthinkable. Nope, don't bother sending it back. There's really nothing we can do with it since the manufacturer wont take it back since it's past the 30 day period. So now I have 2 Sensations and one G2X. I am still trying to comprehend just how awesome T-Mobiles customer service is.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
I had a completely opposite experience with their customer service today. I talked to 5 different people (around 2 hours total time spent with holding and all) about getting the SENSATION50 discount since I was unable to online and they weren't able to do anything for me at all. I've been a loyal customer for almost 6 years and it really puzzled me how they didn't offer me any sort of discount for all my troubles. I'm glad you got some better reps to help you out, though.
[HTC Sensation] dj75728:
So you paid 250 for a G2X, 250 for a sensation, then got a free sensation? So $500 and 2 upgrades for 3 phones. Not bad man, congratulations on the super deal. I had a similar awesomeness regarding this phone. I won't go into too much detail, but I bought a G2X for 250, there was a return/exchange /error, so T-Mobile refunded my money etc., gave me a new G2X, and gave me back my upgrade, then I went and bought a Sensation for 150 on contract. So I paid 150 and one upgrade for two phones.
[HTC Sensation] azsl1326:
So not only is tmobile not selling the G2X anymore, now they are not even accepting the units back for returns. Glad I sent mine back
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I paid retail price for the G2X and paid through an upgrade on my wife's account for one of the Sensations. On her upgrade, T-Mobile gave me the full discount with 10 months to go which is another plus for there customer service. My account is still out of contract. You made off pretty good too.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
It's not that there not excepting returns for the G2X. It's just that they can't send mine back to LG since it's outside of 30 days.
[HTC Sensation] manlisten:
I thought it was the G2 that was discontinued?
[HTC Sensation] bluemoon737:
They let you keep the G2x AND sent you a Sensation for all your troubles with that POS phone.
[HTC Sensation] bluemoon737:
Guess I should have kept reading before posting my guess (accurate none-the-less ;) )
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
They really didn't let me keep the G2X for all my troubles. The rep I talked to said there was really nothing they could do with it since they couldn't send it back to LG being it was past the 30 day return period.
[HTC Sensation] EmceeGeek:
They exchanged mine for a sensation, its not that huge. Lol

[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I just thought it was cool how Tmobile let me keep the G2X plus send me a free Sensation. If it happened to people here before than sorry I posted something within the normal operating procedures of device exchanges.

[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
By posting this in the Sensation thread to begin with. If you wanna give T-mobile props call them. This is really just carrier specific talk or even plain just G2x talk. Go pat yourself on the back and read the posting rules again.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
I suggest you read the rules also, verbal abuse & flaming will not be tolerated on XDA. You can tell by your post to thanks ratio that you're really making a difference here. KUDOS

The thread is off topic and posted in the wrong section. Suck it up. Also your grammar suggests that he is my donkey, when I think you ment to use the contraction "You're" comprised of you are. EPIC FAIL

[HTC Sensation] Fat Tone:
I have never been on a forum with soooo many want to be mods. Wow

You guys are scaring people from asking questions.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
I posted this in the Sensation forum because they exchanged my G2X for a Sensation. I read the rules and I did not break them. This post had something to do with the Sensation. You must not have any authority in real life since all I see you do is try to boss people around about forum rules. If your going to do that maybe you should make sure your right about them next time.;)

Maybe I should change the subject to "Tmobile exchanged G2X for a Sensation"...Would that make you happy?
[HTC Sensation] karnovaran:
That would be because this used to not be a typical internet forum. It was a small community, but it has exponentially exploded and the level of discourse has plummeted.

You see 'wannabe mods' because the moderation is very poor. Thread after thread devolves into personal attacks or goes far off-topic.
[HTC Sensation] Hoggles:
You can be smart and still be a nice person. The way you bash someone for telling a story on a public forum in a General section is 100% rude and uncalled for. You should either leave this site for good, or be banned by a mod.

You were the first in this thread to get nasty. You should get some fresh air.

To the OP....thx for the story. Always good to hear others experiences!
