[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I'm in no way loyal to any manufacture. In fact, besides Motorola, HTC is probably my least favorite manufacture due to a couple of reasons. For one, I hate Sense with a passion. I think HTC is going in the wrong direction with it, making it more intrusive than less. The useless eye candy has got to go. Second, they sold out on the DEV community and only folded to our pressure. They still did it in the first place. Lastly, I don't like how everyone thinks there such a great manufacture. If they were so great, they would use there own displays and design there own processors from the ground up like Samsung.

That being said. I still use my G2X to get my ROM/Riptide GP fix. However, my Sensation is the phone I use as my daily driver while at work and when not home. I feel it is the better device for myself for many reasons and if I didn't, I would have returned the Sensation and continued to use my problem free G2X. The reasons I chose the Sensation as my daily driver over my G2X are:

Display size and resolution. I read more on my phone than any thing else from web paged, RSS feeds, eBooks and emails. Text is so much more crisp and clear to the point where if I try to read on my G2X now, the text looks fuzzy. The larger display also makes it easier to type which I do a lot of. Lastly, the larger display and higher rez puts more content on the screen.

The little things HTC adds such as the contacts list which adds some nice features. The way the cursor is implemented makes copy and paste a breeze.

GPS locks quicker and Google maps loads faster and is more responsive.

Most apps load faster and react faster to commands.

The camera is much better and I never carry around a dedicated camera. I love how a picture is taken as soon as I hit the shutter button. Recording 1080p video at 30fps with stereo sound is awesome. I show people videos I shot with it and they don't believe I took it with a phone.

One of the biggest reasons is the battery. It easilly lasts 2 hours longer than my G2X and I thought it had a pretty good battery which it does but I think the Tegra II not being able to turn off one of its cores hurts it where the Snapdragon can turn off a core.

In the end, I was all set on returning the Sensation due to Sense not feeling anywhere near as responsive as my G2X. It wasn't laggy but you can tell its not optimized which really holds it back. Then I decided to throw ADW on it and figured out a way to keep Sense from loading which gave me 325mb of available RAM and made it as fast as my G2X. I know some/most of you wont believe me that I got my Sensation as fast as my G2X so I'm prepared to make a video.

These are all based on my opinion and I'm not stating anything as cold hard fact. There are many advantages the G2X has over the Sensation and I'm sure everyone here is happy with using the G2X. Its a top notch phone as long as you get one with minimal bugs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Agree with that statement
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
So, now on my third sensation, the touch screen is going wack again. I got a replacement on the way, Unfortunately I think it will still have the wifi issue, and I dont know if I can except that. Honestly Guys the sensation IMO is the better device, but, Ive had 3, and this phone is definitely buggier than the G2x.

BAD HORRIBLE CRAP wifi and touch screen issues, dust and dead pixels? or screen bleed and Reboots every now and again? I think Im leaning towards the bleed and reboots. I want to love the sensation so much. The camera smokes the g2x, so does the video camera, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, the design was completely borked with the wifi. The signal is fine, no death grip there which is weird, but the wifi is junk.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] heygrl:
Exchanging for touch screen issues is a waste of time. The problem lies somewhere in the software especially with what can sometimes reactivate the touch screen when it becomes unresponsive like pulling the notifications panel down.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
You saw that my Sensation doesn't have the WiFi issues your running into. My first 2 Sensations had the lock screen bug after 4 days of use but the in I'm using now hasn't had it yet and its been almost 2 weeks. A lot of people are reporting good things with the later dated devices. 6/6 and above.

Your right though. The camera does smoke the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Your right. I saw yours working, that's why I'm hoping my next one does. I even tried a new router and did nothing....

I love the sensation. Let's hope its a 6/6/11 up date.. wanna trade phones.lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
after reading all your experiences, I gave amazon a call and a replacement is on the way. I'll only do this once. even though I love the g2x, and it will be my primaryphone,, I simply cannot believe that HTC has susch a bad offering. I'll give the replacement a try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Funny thing on another website, when I had my g2x and before the sensation was released, The people dogged the g2x bad saying they will wait for the sensation. I told them all that all phones have issues and the sensation will also, just wait and see, but damn I didnt know it could lose wifi signal completely from just holding it normal.

And this touch screen thing. Wtf, sometimes it carousels, others not, right now it is. lol I dont get it, but I saw JW video, and if my 4th one acts the same, Im ordering a new one, and keeping it in the box when I recieve it and trade it as a Brand New in Box phone.

Man, I just want a phone that works, I can handle bugs, but wifi issue isnt a bug, thats just rediculous.

I have a strong strong feeling that Ill be getting a g2x shortly. Also Are the new G2xs coming out better? Has the screen bleed and reboots been fixed? Are they selling them yet again? or whats going on with it?

Honestly I think Both the g2x and sensation are LEMONS, these phone companies need to step up their damn game. Id never except a laptop to have the same issue over and over and over.

EDIT: FOK it, I know JW has a good one, but reading and seeing vids, and etc, the chances of getting a good one are slim to none, and this is the second device also in a row with damn TOuch screen issues, Im putting this one CL as we speak. Like HEY GIRL said, a new unit wont fix it. I miss my G2x Bad, I hope that I find a good one on CL..

WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR ON THE g2x WHILE TRADING? Should I charge and see if it freezes? Etc? I need help cause I cant take this CRAPSATION any longer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Just find one with minimal screen bleed. CM7 has got the G2x sittin' pretty.

Recently got 1080P @ 30fps, built in notification lights, etc.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
cool, thanks. Ill let the dude know before I look at it that it has to have minimal bleed. I wont except crazy. Ive had 3 g2x so I know whats a bad Bleed and whats not.

For sure though, If I get a trade on CL (post already up) im coming back here. The sensation is just, well, tooooo buggy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
I wouldn't say lemons.... take a walk over to the dark side...and read the other forums for the Top 5 phones this summer. You'd be surprised to see ALL have the exact same complaints. Rebooting, battery life, signal strength/loss, display questions, or underpowered for what its trying to do...thinking Revolution here. I'm thinking maybe, Bionic and Thrill, might be v2 of these devices. I'm also thinking the next phase of Windows Phone may get a little love from the OEM's.

No matter what, its bound to be an interesting rest of summer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Man, I really feel lucky now. Not only do I have a bug free G2X but also a bug free Sensation.

Hey Smash, **** that carousel effect. HTC shouldn't have implemented that anyway. Just another ****ty piece of eye candy that has no purpose. God I hate Sense so damn much. I thunk Touch Wiz is my favorite UI. I even like TW better than booring ass Vanilla.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
The carousel effect was just my measuring of how the phones screen was responding.

WWWWWWWWWELLLL. I ended up trading my sensation for a G2x again. WOOOT and it has the smallest amount of screen bleed I ever saw on a g2x. Basically non existant. It was already flashed to Cyanogen Mod :) and im keeping it. WIFI, WAIIIIT FOR IT>>>>> WORKS on the g2x.

Basically, I tried the sensation and it does have its advantages, but this is the ****.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I missed having a stable phone that I can hack.

The sensation is cool for the first like 5 days, then it just goes wonky donkey doo dong doo.

Yea, I missed this beast. Its soooooooooo much faster than the sensation navigating although the sensation seems to open apps faster and thingls load a lil faster. WHo cares. Im just happy to be back.

Whats up everyone? Today I walked into t-mobile & exchanged my sensation for the g2x. I'm new to this phone and I hope I don't regret the choice I made today. I've seen numerous complaints, and really, really thought long and hard (insert joke here)about my trade. I'm giving this phone the benefit of the doubt. I love the design, the look & feel, the performance especially. This thing is fast. It makes the sensation feel like a single core phone. Well, having said that of encountered a couple of issues's. Minor screen bleeding, and I'm unable to connect to my wifi @ home. I really want to enjoy this phone so if you guys & girls can offer up some advice,i would really appreciate it. Thank you & good night.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
A ban to the first person that says buy a sensation !!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
All of them have screen bleed. By the way, you got to put ADW on the Sensation to make it feel like a dual core device. Sense 3.0 is not optimized. Besides the interface I think the apps, map and browser is a little faster than the G2X. Atleast mine is. I like both phones though and use both everyday. The Sensation is what I use mostly though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nucentury08:
Dude I believe you don't have to prove **** to xda most of the people who will flame your post about picking the sensation over the g2x just can't afford it or jumped into a contract or upgrade and now are stuck hold your ground my friend. I own both but have a craiglist guy coming to look at my g2x Thursday I love my sensation I paid 598.11$ off contract for it and 350$ for my g2x off craigslist. People get all but hurt if its not there phone in the number 1 spot not me I see a phone I like I buy it off contract End of Story.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Same here bro...I will definitely be buying the SGSII iteration on T-Mobile when it gets here and if anyone thinks the G2X is better than that, there just in 2 year contract denial at that point. Some times I feel as though I have to prove **** on here so I never say anything I can't back up. Whether someone wants to believe me or stay in denial is on them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I think the G2x is better then the SGSII and I bought mine off contract. I just like the Tegra 2 and its faster GPU.

If there was a Samsung phone with a Tegra 2 and a Super Amoled Plus screen... yea I would buy that as long as they don't do something stupid like exclude a microSD slot or screw up one of the radios.

I picked the G2x over the SGS2 long before I bought it. I was just waiting for it to hit.

Once the GB rom hits I think we'll be alright. For now, CM7 pretty much has us blazing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Cm definitely has us blazing, double the data speeds, 1080p at 30fps, touch to focus now and camera looks crisp now. Phone reboots when u hit reboot, its super fast, oh and screen capture now, man can it get any better?!? ; )
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
GPU is only slightly better but the Exynos owns in raw processing power. The Exynos also gives you accelerated browsing which I wouldn't trade for a GPU that is only minutely better. So, since you like the Super AMOLED plus, the only thing you think better on the G2X is the slightly better GPU? You wouldn't take twice the on board storage, twice the RAM, hardware accelerated browsing, a better camera and a bigger display? Eh, to each his own I supose. Now I just have to figure out if my Sensation or my G2X gets sold for the GSII. My wife only lets me have 2 phones after I time. She put a end to my addiction once she noticed my Nexus 1, Nexus S, Vibrant and TP2 all sitting next to each other on the coffee table.

I'm running Paul's r10 at the moment, but want to upgrade to ginger bread.

I'm searching for a rom, that let me disable the power button. I want to use the trackball to activate the display.

I already tested RCMix and Cyanogen. But both wont let me disable it.

Is there a sense rom outthere?

this one has trackball to activate the display, you can ask the developer how to disable power button

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavnsgft:
I'm begging for someone to help me figure out what's going on with my Vibrant...but first, I've got to start out by admitting that I'm a total noob at this stuff--as much as I TRY to read/learn, I just don't seem to "get" it...I just wanted to make sure to make that clear before I tried explaining what my phone's been doing.

Okay, so, I updated to 2.2 the day it came out (months ago) & I'm rooted...(that's about as far as I've had the guts to go with it--I've never flashed a ROM or do anything else, simply because I was afraid I'd screw something up)...anyways, lately (for probably about 3-4 weeks now) my phone has dramatically slowed down, and now my home launchers (I've tried LPP, ADW, GO, & of course, the stock one) & some of my settings (mainly, the tones on my alarm clock & my ring tones) all keep resetting; my home screen will go blank and it takes several seconds to restart again...

I've done factory reset at least twice, I've uninstalled/reinstalled all the home launchers--even tried uninstalling all the other ones & just using the stock one...keeps happening. I've tried switching out my SD card--(I've got a brand new one in there now)--still nothing...I'm not sure what else I need to do--?

Could anybody PLEASE help me out before I throw my phone out the window--??!! ... :mad::confused::o THANK YOU!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
I'd flash a new ROM. Don't be scared. Good luck!:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
Are you using a task killer? You might be inadvertently killing your launcher
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
it's being killed. Either from a task manager (boo) or more likely it's just ran out of memory. Are you playing pretty heavy games? Plants vs Zombies makes my ADW EX reset, also the other game from that developer... it does too.

Could just be an app that is a hog. Any certain apps you run often when it happens? Notice any certain apps draining the battery? You could try installing watchdog.. it looks for apps that are using a lot of memory.

if you question certain apps, you could uninstall and see.

when i was on stock 2.2 my notification volume reset itself from full to about half everytime i got a text (or sent 1)

hasnt on any custom rom iv'e been on :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
id odin back to stock and clear out some memory
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
I'd flash over CM7. The battery drain issue JUST got solved (nightly 39) so it's battery is on par with 2.2 stock now (or better!). Broken GPS but that's the only bug.

Performance is 3-4 TIMES faster in EVERYTHING. Yes....that's TIMES. It feels like an entirely new phone. Also, it looks much better than anything you'll see from stock....with many customization options for theme. Try it.

Flashing now is SUPER easy. I literally can flash CM7 on your phone in about 2 minutes (provided I download it before).

Simply go on Market and get ROM Manager

Flash Clockwork Recovery from ROM MANAGER.

Download latest CM7

Put CM7 file on phone memory

Reboot into clockwork recovery

Install CM7 from clockwork

Wait till phone boots.

It can be useful to make a backup from Clockwork before you flash so if u **** up, you can go back. No harm done.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavnsgft:
I had originally downloaded advanced task killer--but I uninstalled it months ago; I've also uninstalled anything that seemed to be eating up memory...but, it does seem to stay low anyways; I don't have anything that runs in the background, however, that I haven't always had running back when it was working okay--? I'm not sure what I'm missing though...

And, yes--I'm SUCH a chicken about flashing another ROM, simply because everything I've read on here has pretty much "scared" me out of trying it! :) I've downloaded ROM manager a few months ago, but (and I don't remember exactly which part I had the issue with) I tried to make a nandroid & it wouldn't let me...so I pretty much gave up--but, now that I'm having these problems, I may go back & read everything & (hopefully) try it all again...so, in other words, Stay Tuned--(in case I need some help! haha!)...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
Don't be scared.

Nandroid backups are made in recovery. Use ROM manager to flash recovery. In recovery after reinstalling packages and getting green or red recovery use the backup and restore option to create ur back up (that's ur nandroid). This flashing situation is really easy if you read. These are good guys here if you need help they will be more than willing to help you. Good luck!:)

Task killers are garbage and down with @akaskriller ;)

Okaaaaaay...so, I'm just now (yes, a month and a half later) getting some time to sit down and attempt to "fix" my phone... I ODIN'ed back to stock 2.1--but now, I can't get root...?! I've copied update files from XDA into my phone, which, I'm assuming I've done correctly...??--(I told y'all I was a noob)...then, did the whole push the volume keys + power button maneuver--but when I tried to re-install packages, it tells me it's not there or they can't be opened...I've tried re-doing all this MANY times today without any luck...

Now, originally I had used SuperOne Click to get root--but that was after I had updated to 2.2...but everything I've looked at for to get root on 2.1, I don't see anything mentioned about using SuperOne Click...? Help me out guys--I'm getting crossed-eyed over here...

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
Here's how to flash.

1. ODIN (You've done that already).

2. Use SuperOneClick to root the phone (read here how to use it) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682. You need Development enabled on the phone and plugged to your computer to do it. READ that topic I listed carefully if you are confused on how to root it.

3. Install ROM Manager from the Market, then flash Clockwork Recovery (select Vibrant (MTD) for Clockwork version). Now you are free to flash ROMs.

4. If flashing to CM7, download the latest nightly

(http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vibrantmtd), put that on your phone via the USB cable. Put it on the phone memory, not on ur external SD card.

5. Reboot into recovery (Hold Power + Volume up + Volume down as you reboot the phone). Select re-install packages twice. Now that will get you into Clockwork recovery mod if you did step 3.

6. Select Install from zip card, find the CM7 ROM file you put on your phone and flash it. Wait till done.

7. Reboot phone, you now have CM7. Boot it up and let it sit for 5 minutes (do not touch it, its doing setup stuff).

8. Open the program ROM Manager (its installed by default). For Recovery, select Vibrant MTD 3.0x I think. Then select Download ROM, find the Google Apps package.

9. After downloading the Google Apps package, install it. You can do it straight from ROM Manager, it will ask you for root and then reboot into recovery and do it automatically.

10. You are done, you can now restore apps or set the phone how you like for usage.

OPTIONALLY you can install additional kernels and modems for better battery/coverage. The recommended modem is KB5 for CM7.1 as for kernel, if you want to upgrade, I'd recommend the latest Glitch CM7 kernel beta (fully stable).

NOTE, your GPS likely will not work in CM7. Be ready for that if you go this way.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavnsgft:
Wow, seriously--Thaaaank You x110! I'll let you know how it goes!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
Here is the udate.zip to root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723479

(click the QR code and download, thats slick)

That needs to be placed on the internal SD, NOT in any folder, just sitting out on it's own. Open any file manager and make sure its there. At this point find the ROM you eventually wanna flash and place it on the internal SD as well. I like to make a folder named "ROM" and put all my ROM's in there.

After you ODIN when you boot into recovery it should be blue. SWEET!

- Reinstall Packages(do this until you get green recovery)

- apply update zip(do this in green recovery)

- Now flash the ROM you have already placed onto the internal SD. It is important to only flash once you get the green recovery.

Good luck!:)
