I had a G2X....switched to a Sensation. Happy I did...but of course, to each their own.

I wanted the 4.3 qHD 16:9 display + 1080p @ 30fps in stereo.

Simple choice for me.

Silly how people say mine is best, mine is best. As soon as you get your next device the G2X will suck? Right? ;)

Personal preference.

Both devices have their respective issues. Both devices outshine the other in different areas.

Come back to reality OP :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jalshah05:
No sir I am sure I am living in the current era and that's the reason I have house full of gadgets and also sensation and g2x. But I also like photography and I also like to work without thinking about dying battery or network outage. Have you ever seen any professional photographer taking pictures with his cell phone? Or have you seen any company putting out smart phone out on your desk? I wonder why. If I want to look at the photographs of my wedding or my honeymoon or my baby taking his first step or even outing with my friends I want them to be crispy clear. And no phone camera has ever taken pictures even close to even any entry level slr camera.

Phones and these gadgets are my hobby for which my work pays. But with these gadgets nobody can do any real world 8-10 hours job.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ~~Tito~~:
For those quick moments, no one is going to have their dedicated devices at all times. Or those times you need to browse the web really quick. If it fails at those moments why use it or keep? Although mine hasn't had these issues, it has rebooted once on a call, or before one actually.

I love my G2x, but I am just thinking, once the bootloader is unlocked, and the weight of sense is taken off the Sensation. . man that will be one beastly performer.

Its all down to personal preference or opinions, and not facts. A spec sheet can make something sound superior, but they way it is actually used in daily life is what makes anything shine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I can never buy amother android device unless it has a screen as good or better than the g2x, and must be same size or bigger and it must be able to be rooted. No root means no buy. Ill sacrifice screen quality a bit for larger screen but it must be visible in desert sunlight.

To me most important is in order

1. root root root

1a. Dev support. (Goes with root anyways)

2. 4 inch or bigger screen.

3. Highly visible in direct sunlight.

4. Dual core

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Is it lonely up there on your pedestal?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jalshah05:
Wow I really expected one good argument. Ah well I really over judged you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Um, sure. No need to argue over opinions that are merely personal preference.

But if you want my opinion, here it is:

-- In regards to cameras, the best camera is the one you have with you when you need to take a photo. I don't and won't carry an SLR with me everywhere because my phone takes very good photos for most of the photos I need taken. If I'm going somewhere where I think I might want to do more than point and shoot photography, then yea I'll take my nicer camera.

-- In regards to cell phones vs. landline for work, I use a mobile phone all day for work and its the only practical solution for my job. I'm constantly on the go so it wouldn't make much sense for my job to give me a landline. Most of my coworkers and colleagues are issued mobile devices and rely on them as their primary means of work-related communications. My experience tells me that a landline isn't always the best solution. Of course sometimes it is, but mobile communications are very reliable and I see no reason to limit myself or my customers by refusing to use mobile technology for business purposes.

Like I said, those are my opinions and preferences based on my experience. I have no reason to argue that you should approach your life as I approach mine. I just find it a bit silly and shortsighted for you to completely disregard the current state of the art in business communications.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] x_rev_0:
Here is my assessment of the G2x and what my expectations are as a customer of a company... when I buy something for 500 dollars I expect it to work. I understand there can be software glitches or other bugs that need to be worked out and I'm okay with that. Screen bleed is not okay. T-Mobile told me it is a known issue and LG is working on it, but when I talk to LG they say it is a non issue and they won't warranty it because it doesn't effect the performance of the phone. I've had 4 of them now and everyone has screen bleeding to varying degrees. The first phone would freeze, the second one basically would drop signal both phone and data and give me sim error messages, and the 3 one had screen bleed so bad the whole left side of the screen was white. Number 4 is the best so far, but best so far doesn't mean great. I don't care whether it is a phone or a donkey because if I'm paying for it and the expectation that it should work, it should work and I shouldn't have to deal with issues. Unfortunately neither T-Mobile nor LG seem to care about it. At least in my dealings with both companies. Mind you this is my assessment and no one has to agree with me, but I figure I needed to vent a little after the trouble I've had with this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jalshah05:
I agree with you on your both points. But all I want to say is I do not get ppl complaining too much about G2X or as matter of fact any other phone which imo are not real work or entertainment machines. Smart phones are there to help you keep connected. If i wanna watch movie, i will watch it on my tv though i know that smart phone can play movies, i am not going to watch it on them. And i agree you depend on your smart phone to make calls and as a matter of fact i do too. But for that i keep nokia E90 communicator with me. Coz i know that phone does not run out of battery if i stay on the phone for too long. In fact i have had HD2, My touch 3g, my touch 4g, g2x, sensation all the phones out there and none of them can last their battery for 3-4 days straight, even without playing any games or doing anything with them except receiving and making phone calls.

I guess I am just tired of reading all these posts and threads about G2X and Sensation threads. I just don't get it. You like one, I like other. What difference does it make? I haven't made more than 3-4 comments on this discussion. But today i could not resist. I come on XDA to do some fun stuff with these gadgets, to tweak them, to do sth which it was not intended to do. But now i come on XDA and all i see is ppl comparing phones and giving their own reviews. I seriously do not care whether someone likes their phone or not. I just wanna see some development and for that i donate as much as i can, to the great developers too. But this has just gone out of control.

I am sorry for my reply being too long. And i know i am going to make plenty ppl angry. But this just needs to stop. G2X vs. Sensation........
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Now that post I CAN agree with! Lol

I do like a good balanced review, but I agree that its going too far on here right now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] againareku:
The cover of I believe MacWorld when the iphone 4 released was taken on the very same iphone 4, and it looks very professional especially after software.

Lots of serious photographers use cell phones as a medium. Remember, the best camera is the camera you have with you. And I doubt on a day off from the studio you've got a DSLR, two lenses, , stability hand tripod, external battery, and flash kit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Well you have had 4 phones now, so I guess the warranty gripe is kinda moot.

As a customer I also have an expectation, that when someone chooses to put down 500 dollars on a phone that is going for 50 dollars with a contract....that when they figure out the phone is not for them.....that they return it, and move on.

You bought a phone you did not like, return it, cash back in hand, you are done. No need to go about as a wronged customer thinking that a slogan makes them always right.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] John Cipolletti:
Try a Benchmark

Just try a benchmark program....

Sensation- 1950

G2x- 2350
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
my, along with many other G2x owners here, 4800-5100 OC @1500, or 2800-3600 at 1ghz LOLZZZZZZ
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
You must have a defective device if you can't play Peggle. I just played it for 1 hour straight with no problems and it ran smooth as hell with no glitches. Not to mention, the only other game I play is Home Run Battle 3D and it runs smoother on my Sensation along with looking better to than it does on my G2X.

The losing your icons issue of your apps on the SD card happens on all phones. Not just the Sensation.

I pull 25mb/s on WiFi with both my Sensation and G2X but my upload speeds are twice as fast on my Sensation. (Need Proof)?

Download ADW and use the Preset labeled "Fast". Boom, your Sensation is now as fast as the G2X. But your right, it is hard to use my Sensation for one week and then go back to my G2X. I get spoiled by the QHD resolution so much that everything looks blurry on the G2X display.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
Sounds like somebody is trying to justify their g2x love. The only reason people make these types of threads, is because they're jealous of the device they're bashing and trying to assure themselves that they have the better device. The g2x has zero to do with the sensation and vice versa. I just happen to see this thread while looking for something else.

Good luck with your g2x.

P.S. Don't bash something because you don't/can't have it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
It isn't about not having it. It's about not WANTING it, but still having to listen to people in the g2x forum talk leaving for the sensation. Neither device is perfect. Far from. I just feel that the g2x has better bones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Oh yes, my posting is about some deep rooted desire to possess something I can not have. GMAFB, I can swap out to a Sensation easily through T-Mobile, Costco, or Ebay, for minimal or zero cost.

The reason I posted was because of the irony of the postings in this forum over the last weeks, leading up the Sensation release. Then as some predicted here, the HTC would have, and does have equal problems to that of the G2x.

My last lines in the OP show you how I am trying to show the irony. And a pet peeve of mine, a single device using two LCD panel vendors with no way to appraise the differences and/or select the panel you want.

I am pretty sure some threads will be started about how TMOnews is saying the Sensation is being pulled. Some earnest posters will soon be saying they want to do a class action for their 1 week old phone, instead of just returning it outright.

Basically everything is always greener on

the phone that is yet to be released.

At least with LG you actually will get a screen made by LG. HTC is kinda like the Vizio of cell phones.
​
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I don't even know why this is a surprise to anyone. Every single phone release in the last 2 years have been plagued with problems/bugs. Why? It's because these manufacturers are trying to rush everything to the market before doing quality tests. If anyone thought the Sensation wouldn't have it's own problems is living in a dream world.

It's not about the problems the device has when it's released. It's about how long it takes for the manufacturer to fix them.

If you want a bug free phone then stick to the feature variety.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KillaHurtz:
Wow. So the Sensation is being pulled ? That's why the G2x isn't even being sold anymore? Not even back ordered ? What about the screen bleeding & random rebooting ? From my understanding the Sensation is the replacement for the G2x, because it has a ridiculas failure rate. Many members have already been given them as a replacement for the failure prone G2x. The way you speak like you actually know anything is amusing. LGs pannels are made by AUO, LG is actually Gold Star which made quality appliances lol (extreme sarcasm). HTC is the original innovator and continues to be. Problems or not I would rather have a quality built item by a dedicated manufacturer than a B grade appliance maker.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
I was being ironic, the G2x is still being sold, the Sensation is not a replacement its just a competitor for T-Mobile customers, squeaky wheels will get greased, LG is the world's largest manufacturer of IPS panels, they go into NEC, and Lacie high end monitors. AUO is not an LG panel. AUO makes MVA panels which are well regarded and on the same level as Samsungs PVA, LG stands for Lucky Goldstar, and yes its Goldstar, but not the Goldstar of the 80s. Made in Japan used to be an insult too. Enjoy
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KillaHurtz:
Show me a link from Tmobile to buy the G2x?

Nobody said an AUO pannel is an LG, what I did say is that AUO makes pannels for LG, Samsung, Apple, etc. not like them FOR THEM - FACT.

Yes LG is the GoldStar of the 80's.

Here's a few links to get your info up to date.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AU_Optronics

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
You say that post with confidence. Lucky Goldstar is a cheap junk appliance manufacturer. And it's funny that you call HTC the vizio of phones, as I've always felt that HTC was the new leader in phones and LG was, well, the old LG. I would never in my lifetime buy anything LG, NEVER.

Keep telling yourself that crap is gold, cause in thread it's the opposite. Maybe someday you'll believe it yourself.. LOL, I made a funny - Did you see that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tenbeau:
I presently have a G2X and a Sensation(I have 10 days left on buyers remorse) and while I like both of them I must say I do prefer the G2X. I am fortunate that I have had no real issues with my G2X(it is my third one) and have rooted it and running Faux's ASOP rom. It is fast smooth and so far very reliable. I am on my third Sensation(the first two rebooted randomly and were hot to the touch while running)This third one has been relatively solid except for one random reboot and occasional lags. Each phone has areas that they shine in. I like the way the Sensation feels in my hand and the quicker response to the power button. I like the smoothness and quickness of the G2X. The GPS IMO is about equal with a slight nod to the Sensation. To me they both are very fine phones that with SW updates will become Great phones. I am using the Sensation as my daily driver as I want to make a decision on whether or not to keep it. I have 9 days left on buyers remorse. I made the decision to keep the G2X right after receiving the third one which has been solid. I would not want to keep the Sensation if root is not possible or is delayed for a long period of time. I am not a fan of Sense UI. Right this moment if I had to make a choice for only one phone it would be the G2X.:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wu_wei_lion:
I drool over the sensation's specs; on paper it looks better than the g2x except for one thing. 1gb onboard storage. I have 2 gigs on my vibrant onboard memory plus 5 or 6 gigs on my micro SD. The lack of storage clinches it for me. I'll probably end up with the g2x then upgrade to something else (Samsung Hercules) when I qualify for contract upgrade.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I'm the exact opposite as you. I had to return 3 G2X's to get a working one. I have 4 days left on my buyers remorse period for the Sensation but I've already decided to keep it since it does the things better than the G2X that matter to me more. I'll still keep the G2X for my hobby phone until the Sensation is unlocked but at this point, the only thing the G2X is doing better than my Sensation is playing the Tegra Zone games. Everyone is going to have a different opinion when it comes to mobile devices. Like you though, I will be getting the Hercules when it gets here because I think that phone is better than both the G2X and Sensation.

By the way, if you put ADW EX on the Sensation and use the preset called "Fast", it is as snappy and fast as the G2X, if not a little bit faster, so I have no doubt in my mind that it's nothing else but Sense that is causing the lag issues on the Sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I. Reality, say a 32gb SD card solves all those worries as internal storage is a waste. Lol

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
After moving all my apps that I could over to my Micro SD, I still have .95GB of available storage.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
Compared my screen at 100% with an iPhone 4 (Verizon) at 100% and my phone trumped it in color reproduction, brightness, and clarity.

That being said... T-Mo is shipping me a Sensation free along with a 50 dollar credit (10 for the return shipping) and I can still claim the 50 dollar MIR... so 100 versus 149 (I got my G2x through corporate discount) and she extended my return period to 20 days instead of 14. I'll compare the two and decide which to keep but I'm honestly leaning towards the Sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
Okay so rather than starting yet another new thread (BOO HOOKERS!), I have decided to post a relative transcript of my conversation with T-Mobile.

"Hello, this is _____, how are you?"

"I am fine except for my phone rebooting"

"G2x?"

"yes"

"Which phone would you like to replace it with?"

That is all that needs to be said. T-Mo has acknowledged that there are a LOT of calls about the G2x. I have a Sensation coming Tuesday or Wednesday. Free shipping, 50 dollar bill credit, 50 dollar MIR.

They aren't planning on fixing this phone as much as customer service is aware. The supervisor that I spoke to had a G2x running CM7 after she got annoyed with the OTA. Take it as you will. I hate to say it but I guess I'm going HTC again... REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALY hate to say it... but she even ran benchmarks for me... Mandro was SLOWER than the current stock ROM (about 14000 versus 16000 which is STILL slower than the SGSII) and CM7 = reboots. So they fixed reboots but they "updated" drivers which actually slowed DOWN the device. Quadrant, 2125, 2170, 2062. Linpack - 38.9, 42.6, 42.1.

And I am REALLY the only one who notices the texture mapping lagging on Quadrant and the ****ed up textures on GLBenchmark? Really? My friend's EVO runs without issue on GLBench and Quadrant but scores much lower. I think nVidia ripped us off. No 1080p due to no NEON extensions, high benchmarks but with OBVIOUS graphical issues (look at the planet in Quad on a Tegra device and compare with an OMAP or PowerVR device - nVidia fails the test by default), and they once again rely on OEMs to make real drivers.

This isn't Winblows 95 folks... Its Android... which is based on a heavily-modified linux kernel... and that doesn't even work right on our phones.

Let's face it. LG = unlocked bootloader, crappy drivers. HTC = locked bootloader that *may* be unlocked in the not-so-near future and drivers that are 70% optimized for their chips.

But hey, at least the Sensation can play 1080p without overclocking. Even with overclocking, can the G2x? NOPE!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Every game that I actually care about and play on a regular basis runs and looks better on the Sensation. The only game I can't play on it that I wish I could is the Riptide GP game. Homerun Battle, Baseball Superstars, Peggle and Angry Birds all look noticeably better on the Sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
I thought as much. Honestly there's a tool in the market that translates NV to other instruction
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Yea, I know. Im just going to wait for the Snapdragon optimized games.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Bottom line. G2x = rootable. Sensation not so much.

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
For now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Hopefully for now. I have faith that it will end up rootable but right now it is not which to me it makes it a worthless device.

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Yup, this is why I'm still holding onto my G2X. I need something to give me my flash fix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
no offense man....but the only reason you have the G2x is because of Root? IMO thats not a very good reason. Sensation will get root soon.....then what? From what I've observed HTC devices appear more flexible when rooted...always having a HUGE number of cooks and available 'Try Me ' roms.

Maybe a better reason is needed. " I chose the G2x over the Sensation because it felt better in my hand. I carry my phone with me everywhere, even to the bathroom. If I chose a phone that did not feel good, I would be reminded everyday of that choice".

Now I don't have to argue with anyone about things I will never be positive about....like root, and other android things. This phone felt better in my hand.....period...end of story...How 'bout them Cowboys !!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
I like the G2X more than my Sensation on certain things but one thing is for sure, the Sensation is a much more solid phone. Not a single reboot or issue with the phone and I've been pushing it hard. Now if only G2X was like that...I could go back to my true love.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Did you try CM7 on your G2X? They just put out release candidate 1. Its been rock solid for me for the last several nightlies.

I flashed back to stock yesterday just to remind myself the problems everyone is having and it sucked! Within a 10 hour period I had 2 reboots, 2 or 3 freezes requiring a battery pull, mobile data kept overriding wifi, and my battery was only like 75% as good as what I get on CM7. Back on CM7 now and no issues WHATSOEVER! Most everyone's problems are software issues. Try CM7 and you will fall in love with your G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
It's a shame that someone else besides LG has to get the phone to a point where it just works. Phones should be able to get through the day without rebooting the way they come. Not rely on ROMS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
I agree with you. Phone was probably rushed to market. I bought mine with the intentions of rooting/modding it tho so LG's crappy firmware was no biggie for me. But yea, it shoulda been a lot better than it was when they released it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
in even thread that you post you tell everyone that their reason(s) for wanting/getting their phone that its not a good reason to buy a phone. newsflash bro, no one cares what or what you dont think is a good idea or not
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
All aldroid phones work better with a third party rom. This is not device specific.

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
The cowboys suck and no root means no buy. Sense on phone and no root means hell no times 2

Any android phone that k didn't root I ended up taking back because j thought it sucked. Since i learned about root and have been using custom roms android became 93747474 times better.

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Yes, I know Android devices work better with custom roms/kernals but they should at least WORK. I wouldn't call a device rebooting itself multiple tines per day working as it should. Unless you think that's perfectly normal?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
Nope. But a large number of users here reported that the t-mobile bloatware was a cause of reboots, on stock rom. I had no constant reboot issues, everything on mine worked good. And since then its been better.

So no root means worthless phone to me.

G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!

No bloat on my g2x and still rebooted.
