Yea, I'm the same way. I use my Sensation during the day and get my Riptide/ROM fix at night with my G2X. Both phones are fast once you make the right tweaks and both are good devices. The only reason why I choose the Sensation is due to the display. It gives me more content on screen and text is so much clearer. In fact, its so much clearer that after I look at my Sensation all day, my G2X looks blurry and fuzzy. That being said, I'm selling my G2X before its worth nothing. I've already taken a big enough resale hit on it. Loading ROMS and playing Riptide is no longer worth it.

Tmobile gave me the sensation to stop me from canceling my 5 line account so I'm holding on to both...once the g2x update comes out and hopefully fixes it I will give the sensation to my wife so she can get rid of the p.o.s. galaxy s she has..I still think the g2x is better just need it to run correctly...

Sensation/G2x Best of Both Worlds
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aim1126:
Actually. I got Tmobile to let me upgrade 5 months into my contract because of the troubles I was having with my g2x. So even if I sell my g2x for only $300. Ill still be making money ;-). I even made some money when I went from the g2 to the G2x lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
Yea man I think the sensation is a very nice phone I got to play with one for a while and yes the camera is nicer for sure. And text does look clearer but I think the g2x screen is definitely nicer with colors and contrast and as far as camera the g2x is phenomenal at taking still shots it actually was rated 1st out of 45 smart phones and beat out the sensation u can. Catch. That in electronista, now the sensation video camera did kill the g2x cuz it did a true 30fps out the box and the g2x only did 24fps , now cm7 has a hack that makes the g2x get 1088p at 30fps now u might say u shouldn't have to put hacks on a phone or root it for it to be better, but that's what it is all about who doesn't love to crackflash? Lol and the crazy part is our phones hardware are just as good as the sensation if not better cuz our phones are capable of the 30fps hack, voodoo sound, which is killer, we got double the speed data on cm, the battery is fixed oh and ttf now on camera, now for those of us that don't have the problems that other people had on the stock rom knows that the stock rom wasn't too bad and in all. Actuality is still the fastest phone out still, I just think LG failed to optimize the software and kicked it out the door to quick it should have came with 2.2.3 that is where u will really see the dual core aspect optimized. Anyways I just wanted to say I love my g2x it is the **** super fast, best phone I ever had and now with cm and voodoo coming yesterday our phones kick ass, and by the way voodoo on the g2x is by far the best sound expierence I have ever heard come from a piece of electronic device. Pure epic....sorry for the long post and punctuations I was on my phone writing this
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TJBunch1228:
Yeah I'm about 5 or so days into having my G2x after trading my Sensation. I just like this one better, period. The software is just so smooth and the screen is really beautiful to me. The only thing I even notice with the Sensation's qHD is that the icons are smaller. Pictures and videos seem the same to me quality wise. I can't get text to appear "fuzzy" no matter how much I zoom in. For me, the only difference I ever saw with the higher resolution was just everything looked smaller...

The Sensation had more premium looking hardware design, but I still think the G2x is very nice. My handset has minimal screen bleed, but you can only notice anything when the screen is completely black. I have had a couple random reboots, but my sensation had a bunch too. Not to mention my Sensation had lockscreen issues, sensitivity issues (swypes registering as taps, random times of capacitive button non-response, etc), Sense rebooting often, alternate launchers not decreasing lag by much at all, sub-2000 Quadrant scores, death grip for mobile data and wifi (I couldn't even play Homerun Battle 3D online because in landscape my phone would not stay connected to the server), et al.

Maybe my Sensation was defective, and my G2x is great, but I dunno. My sister has very similar issues with her Sensation, plus another known issue where half the unlock screen goes black and only a battery pull fixes.

Seems like the G2x is just getting TORE UP by critics because of LCD screen bleed and random reboots. But the Sensation is being lauded even though it has a longer list of bugs that, atleast IMO, are more difficult to deal with everyday than the G2x's problems.

All this is not even taking into account the fact that the G2x has root, and who knows how long until the Sensation will (edit: by this, I of course mean perm-root, with the ability to flash custom recoveries, ROMs, kernels, etc). Even if htc sends out the unlock when they say they will, how long will tmo drag their feet before sending the OTA?

Not meaning to rant or anything, just wanting to give my side. If the G2x is dropping in price on the market for whatever reason, great! I can buy more. Even if nothing else is done for this device, given everything we already have, this phone will be stellar for a bit spec wise.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
You want to buy more? Great! Buy mine. Its in new condition and has never rebooted a single time. In fact, I would say its bug free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TJBunch1228:
Thanks for the offer, but I'm in a pinch money wise right now. Planning on getting the wife a Vibrant or something. I have about a $200 budget to hook her up.

Sent from my LG G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Don't skimp on her with a phone that's a year old. LOL. I gave my wife my G2X until she wanted my Sensation. I then had to go buy her one too which worked out for me since I got to play riptide again. Actually, if I were you, I would wait and get her the Hercules which should put both of these phones to shame with its 4.5 inches of Super AMOLED + goodness. God I can't wait for ant GSII variant to get to T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TJBunch1228:
Actually I kinda have it all mapped out in my head. My wife could care less about her phone, she was happy as a pig in poop with her myTouch Slide. I convinced her to sell her MTSlide and try the MT4G at the same time I got my sensation. She ended up not caring all that much about the upgrade, so I convinced her to return it so we could save the upgrade. So now she is using a G1 we picked up on CL for $50. A little too old school for her. So I need to get her something in the middle until the Hercules drops. Gonna use her upgrade to pick one up and then give her my G2x and I'll use the Hercules. She has no idea how someone can be so excited about phones.

Sent from my LG G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
That's funny, my wife was using a MyTouch Slide aswell for the longest time because she wanted a keyboard. She finally broke away from the keyboard once I introduced Swype to her. She hated her MyTouch Slide eventually after it started to become slow and boggy. She would see me whizzing through processes and wanted the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] randyschwimmer7:
I'm new to Android all together. Been a huge BB user for ten years. I have a G2x that I am pleasantly happy with. Have had it for two weeks, bought it from CL for 220$. I have not had one reset at all, and 0 screen bleed! I got an offer to trade my G2x today for a Sensation and turned it down because of all of you. So thank you.

I have rooted it since I bought it, but have not figured out what else to do, and how to do it. So the learning process begins!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Someone offered you a straight up trade and you didn't take it? That wasn't a good move. You said you paid $220 for your G2X and you could have got atleast $440 for the Sensation. Then you but a G2X and get to pocket $200. God, I still can't get over how fast the price dropped on the G2X. I definitely lost money on it. I might jst break down and sell it. I was waiting for the price to come up but I do t think its happening. I was hoping to get atleast $350.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nyyankees3511:
Price will go back up once the damn update comes out and the phone is put back on the market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I sure do hope so.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
Its not a dumb choice for him tto do that.

That's what she said...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Oh so it's not a good choice to pocket $200? I don't know about you.....But I LOVE money!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Selling stuff is not always a done deal until you have the cash in hand. I know from a number of eBay and craigslist sales that just because you have something people want, doesn't mean someone happens to want to buy it at that point in time. Could he have pocketed $200? Maybe. But that is a lot of hassle to go through when you're happy with your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I have put over 10 phones on Ebay in the past 2 years and every single one of them has sold for market price. Christ. I just sold a MyTouch 3G on Ebay for $155 about 2 months ago. You know how long it takes to create a Ebay listing? I'm sure you do. It's definitely worth the couple hundred dollars you make for 10 minutes of your time. The only phones not selling on Ebay are ones with the Buy It Now price to high. All phones sell if priced right and this guy could have easily sold the Sensation for $400 thus making over $150 for himself. To say someone wouldn't have bought it on Ebay is DEAD WRONG! Either way, its free money in your pocket.

One can just look at the Sensation listings on Ebay and see how much there going for and also see that there selling left and right. It's not rocket science buddy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Just my opinion man, chill. Either way, you're tying up money or your phone and it's just not worth it for some people.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I just stated some facts. No need to take it easy.

By the way, when you look at the BIG picture, your not tying any of your money up. You trade a G2X for a Sensation, you sell the Sensation. Once the $450 you get from selling it is in your hand, you then go purchase your G2X for $250.

Its a short term investment with a big fat zero up front costs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I hate selling on Ebay. Someone always comes in and mucks up my auction. I've found XDA and Craigslist to be my preferred places to sell my phones and tablets.

Although I see LOTS of Sensations selling in the market place for cheap. I think once Gingerbread comes out and (if) they start selling the phone again, the price will jump up.

Right now the price is low because no one knows anything. Did Tmobile Abandon the phone? Who knows. No one wants to invest several hundred dollars on, what could be, a dead model.

I admit the G2x is in a weird place right now but is still a powerhouse that I know they won't just up and abandon. Once GB rolls out I think they will sell the **** out of them. They will probably market it as G2x v2 or something (G2x2? lol). Then the price should return to normal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
What do you mean by someone mucking your auction? I've sold over 200 items on Ebay and have never had one problem besides getting payments late. If T-Mobile does re introduce the G2X with GB on it as a version two, that will probably end up hurting the price of version one even more than it is now. I can see my auction now.

(Buyer) Is your G2X a second edition?

(Seller) Nope.

(Buyer) Bye!

are we still talking about a sensation in a g2x forum, really?? take it over there noone cares anymore .. if u want a sensation cool, cya....if not then then even better cuz we can get back to talking about how badass the g2x is.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
There's an interesting test coming up. The Hercules is supposed to launch on T-Mobile in the fall. It's going to have many features including a totally new SoC that Samsung's never deployed in the wild before. LG with the G2X and HTC with the Sensation haven't exactly hit the ball out of the park quality wise. Let's see how solid (or not) the Hercules is. If I had to bet, my money would be on Samsung for deploying the most issue free device of the three out of the box.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TJBunch1228:
Uh oh, here goes a few more pages now talking about the Hercules! :P I actually intend on getting it when it drops. Although I made the mistake of buying the Sensation out of the gate and was bummed with all the bugs. I will let the Herc ride the user wave for a couple weeks to see if there are issues with it before I pull the trigger.

Oh sidebar - you are from Spokane, too. Badass. I live near Browne's Addition.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cenwesi:
Can you tell me the issues you have with sensation?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
There are some problems with the Sensation just like any phone released recently. Although there are no problems as big as rebooting on the G2X, there are still some.

1. WiFi deathgrip when holding the phone in landscape. Its pretty wide spread but my Sensation is fine. I even made a video proving my phone didn't have it.

2. Dust under the display. I've had 4 Sensations between me and my wife and still haven't seen any dust.

3. The lock screen gets flukey when trying go unlock it. The ring you slide becomes unresponsive for 2 seconds. I had this problem with my first one but haven't had it on my second and third.

Those are the most wide spread/major ones. I can also tell you that the display is made by two different manufacturers. Sharp and Acer. Mist people have the Acer but the Sharp is the best. This is why I returned my second Sensation. Nothing was wrong with it but I like the Sharp display better.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
The Hercules does sound mean, and IMO Samsung came up big time in the last 6 months

[Motorola Droid X2] GulMiguel:
+1 on that vote. However, I would like to also add it a vote for the DarkSlide team. They did wonders for my DX. I'd love to let them loose with DX2 and see what transpires. Although truth be told, once the bootloader is unlocked, it's really anybody's game at that point. Who knows what stuff could be developed once that hurdle is overcome.

In the usb otg tutorial video in the accessories section it shows that plugging in the cable without anything attached to it should trigger a notification. If it doesn't, it's probably the cable

okay, I guess the motorola xoom cable does not work for some stupid reason. Or its defective...well ****.

I guess, it's missing a resistor to trigger OTG mode.
[Galaxy S II General] Chef_Tony:
in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1092493&highlight=usb+otg+resistor) you'll find detailed instructions on what makes one cable work and another one fail. apparently, you'd have to open the micro usb plug and connect pin 4 and 5. the connection between pin 4 and 5 determine, what kind of connection it is: charging, sync, usb otg, mhl, trigger download mode... and indeed, that is done by putting in different resistor strengths.

Hello,

i rooted my phone not too long ago and i love it!!!! i tried BAMF 3.0 and i didnt like it much at all, it was choppy but i got it to be smooth with changing the cpu, well as of now i am just rooted and my question is: what apps do u recommend(rooted) ? i got rom manager already ^^ and also, what is some roms outs their that u like? and why? im looking for a new ROM but dont know where to continue xD

and also, is there an app that hides all my apps on my screens? ive searched but no luck, kind of like in which on a computer we can view, or not view desktop icons
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
As far as apps; Titanium Backup will let you back up apps and data, RootExporer will let you access files you couldn't otherwise (be careful with both, you can delete or uninstall things you shouldn't), wifi tether will let you tether over wifi ;) I recommend version 2.0.7 (google it), those are the biggies anyways. Check my sig for my ROM recommendation, links included. This setup has offered bulletproof stability for me and the best battery life I've seen. Of course phones and opinion vary so try a few and see what you like. As far as that last part, I have no idea. :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robertjm:
Are you talking about temporarily hiding the widgets and icons, per permanently?

If temporarily, why not just set up a blank screen? Stock sense came with several desktops with a widget, or two. All you'd have to is remove some not by long pressing on them.

if you mean hiding apps in the app drawer, I think you'll need a different launcher like LauncherPro or ADW. I don't know that there's any way to hide apps in the drawer of the sense launcher

OP, Das Bamf 3.0 is a great rom, but I don't like it either!

I have tried 6 roms on the TB and finally found the right one for me, which given your description sounds like it might be perfect for you as well.

Liquid Thunderbread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160637)

This is a VERY stripped down and fast rom. Also it is AOSP instead of Sense based and is only 66 mb!

It is awesomely fast and smooth without any of the BS, I seriously cannot recommend it enough. I like it so much that I made my first rom based donation to the developer and plan on doing so again if they continue updating.

Let me know what you think if you decide to give it a shot.

Im on synergy and i love it. its speedy quick but still lets you keep a lot of the fancy stuff. also the battery is great on 4g or 3g, wifi is a little lacking. and an app you should definitively download is setcpu ( i think its free if youve signed up for xda here) itll let you overclock or set up underlcoking for when your screen is off etc.

Hello everybody!

I´m live in Brazil and a few days past I won one HD2 of T Mobile (1mb). Good News? maybe....

The issue is, when i put my sim card (TIM), because the T MO dont exists in Brazil, the HD2 dont ask me for any unlock code and neither splash any screen to input a code. I read several threads before put this one and I discovered two informations:

1- If my HD2 is LOCKED they must splash the screen to input unlock code when I put my TIM simcard. They dont do this.

2- In the windows folder of my HD2, will must exist Simlock.exe program. Just run it and input the code. My HD2 have this program and it´s dont run, simple like that.

Look at the antenna icon there is "!" and the phone dont mak calls, but it´s recognize my sim card whem i run the simmgr.exe program:

And my comm manager show this:

So what is the problem? My phone is locked or unlocked?

Some datails:

OS Version 5.2.21889 (21889.5.87)

ROM Version 2.10.531.0 (8276) WME

Radio Version 2.08.50.08_2

When i put the phone on multi color screen (press vol down and power) i have this informations:

PB81120 SS-B3

SPL-2.08.HPSL 8G XE

0X05

CotullaHSPL 0x40

Anybody help me and want gonna make happy a nice brazillian guy? I really hope so, because i have a Ferrari without engine. :(

I loved this fone, and i cant wondering use it only a PDA. Help!!!!

In time, all other functions of cellphone still working fine (WIFI, BT, GPS, etc)

Waiting for one good soul for help me. :)

Ok I know about it and i really want do this, beleive me.

But how can i input unlok code if this phone dont ask for this and the simlock.exe seens dont work?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Have you tried doing a Hard reset of the HD2?

To do this power the HD2 on while holding down the volume down button and then follow the instructions on the screen. Maybe this will restore the simlock.exe to working order.
[HD2 General] tucahunter:
I tried do like you wrote, but hold "down vol + power" leave me to the tri-color screen and stop there. Nop hard reset.
[HD2 General] tucahunter:
T-Macgnolia, i reach to hard reset hold up and down vol at same time and short press on/off button. I do this and nothing change. Simlock.exe still dead. Those all informations about radio, win version, etc... any clue?
[HD2 General] tucahunter:
T-Macgnolia how about you or someone else send me in private msg another simlock.exe file?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Stupid me

Oh man I am so sorry I had a momentary laps of memory. I forgot to tell you to hold down both the volume up and down buttons while powering on your HD2. My stupid mistake I guess the sun fried my brain at work that day. :o
[HD2 General] Junner2003:
Everything points to the fact that your HD2 is already unlocked, the phone would have informed you otherwise with a popup message to prompt you for the unlock code.

I think that either the radio / antenna of your device is defective or your SIM card is denied by the network (might be that your provider doesn't allow you to use this phone). To be sure, perform a manual network scan and see what the phone will tell you.
