I got a price adjustment today. After 30 days it's up to the manager on duty if they want to give you the lower price. Don't wait!
[Acer Iconia A500] Sledutah:
Just did the same thing. I was at 34 days, so they told me to buy a new one and return it with my original receipt. Can't beat a 3 year warranty! :D

Need some input here, I'm running the RC, but wondering if I should jump to the nightlies.

I'm not new to this, but to cm7, this is my first. Any input will help, thank you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Vaddy23:
I would go with nightlies especially since they have added 1088p video recording at 30 frames per second, touch to focus for the camera and various other tweaks without losing the stability of RC1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
If you're considering CM7 RC1, then I would definitely recommend running EaglesBlood 2.3.4 v1.4...that rom is solid. There's a link to it in my signature.

Otherwise, I would also recommend nightly 75 or 76. I had a rebooting and apn problem when I tried 78...but I'm not convinced it was a problem with the rom...I think it probably was an issue that came about from the flash procedure. But 76 is definitely stable enough to be a daily driver.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Novakon:
Nightlies
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Texan28:
Im running nightly 75 and i love it....i think that would be the best to do
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Nightlies. I've flashed 72 through 79 and they all worked GREAT for me.

No more reboots. No more sleep of death/overheating.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strictlyrude27:
We know that the smartass governor tends to sleep deeply nicely and ramp up to maximum rapidly if the load is 100%.

Is there any reason we WOULDN'T want to use this governor for everything? I.e., if I'm using a kernel that has a smartass governor, should I bother using any profiles at all? Certainly we don't need screen-off profiles anymore. I can see underclocking when battery gets low, but that's about it. And if I'm using a kernel with smartass available, does it even make sense to bother using any other governor?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CESAROX:
Hey guys, an opportunity just came up and I might be able to trade my G2x for a Sensation. I absolutely love my phone since I was lucky enough to get one with minor screen bleed and no reboot issues. I just wanted to get more opinions from you guys. The main reason I'm willing to go through with this trade is GB. Is the trade worth it or should I just wait for a GB update?

Also, if I went through with this trade, what would happen with the games that I bought that are for Tegra 2 devices?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] laker666:
youd know the answer to your question better than us....considering its gonna be your phone...but if you are asking for opinions,,,id say stick with the g2x. faster and the hardware is nicer...i dont think your tegra2 games will work on the sensation, but dont quote me on that
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Gingerbread is not that big of an upgrade over froyo. The main difference it will make for the g2x is fixed drivers. Is it worth trading a good device for a potentially faulty sensation? No. The sensation has launch issues as well.

Just my opinion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] larry2513:
I have both stick with g2x...you'll be sorry if you don't...

Sensation/G2x Best of Both Worlds
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Eroc162:
I have both aswell and I like the g2x better. Smaller, lighter and faster. Just my opinion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jr2002ws6:
I just received my Sensation on Monday and really have enjoyed using it (NO REBOOTS!). I haven't had any major issues, to include the "Wifi death grip". I actually enjoy using the Sense UI, as it has fairly useful features. Honestly, the G2X was my first Android, and I was almost turned off to the whole OS because of the issues I was having. The Sensation has redeemed Android for me personally. Of course, we'll see how the phone holds up after a month of use.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
I have both and use them both. I much prefer the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TJBunch1228:
Just traded my Sensation for a G2x today on Craigslist. I was honestly nervous, but damn the G2x is pretty damn nice. My Sensation had the touchscreen issues that everyone else had so the responsiveness on this is just amazing to me. I think the Sensation is gorgeous but this phone is also pretty nice and I am liking the software better already. The only thing I miss is a fully working Netflix :( for some reason on this I get netflix, but it's all sped up, so not useable.

Sent from my LG G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pinhead:
If you are not having problems with your G2x keep it.

I think that the G2x is a faster phone than the Sensation and certainly more entertainment friendly. I prefer it.

I had to switch to the Sensation and find it to be a better business friendly phone. Better email, better battery life, and Sense does keep things nicely organized and accessible at the right times. I do miss the G2x though. Every time I see my girl still with hers I think about switching back...but I need a more reliable device.

If you're is working well don't switch. If it is prone to the resets and freezing then make the trade. Just be honest with the buyer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CESAROX:
Thanks guys. I'm gonna keep the G2x then; and Pinhead, my phone is pretty much flawless so thanks. I guess I just liked how T-Mobile sold off the Sensation since they advertise it more as a flagship device than the G2x. After hearing your guy's opinions I'm willing to wait for GB. It may take a while for the update, but it doesn't really affect me, since as stated before, I got a pretty faultless device, so thanks guys your opinions are very much appreciated...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] graffixnyc:
I have both as well. But I havent been able to have them side by side yet. When I got my sensation my G2X was at LG for repair, when it came back they repaired something that didnt need to be repaired and didnt repair what needed to be repaired so I sent it back to them.. anyway my cousin also has the g2x and yesterday I was playing with them side by side. Consistently in internet speed tests the g2x was getting 1-2mbps higher than the sensation(literately side by side, connecting to the same server etc..), the g2x was also a lot more snappy and even though the sensation has a qhd display I did like the ips better on the g2x. I just think the sensation is just much sexier looking. If I could get the looks of the sensation and the performance of the g2x I would be happier than a pig in ****
[T-Mobile LG G2x] graffixnyc:
So no more sensation for you?? Why didnt you try to replace yours first? I honestly havent had any touch screen issues on my sensation
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TJBunch1228:
Hey graf, nice to see a familiar face in this strange land :)

Yeah I don't have the sensation anymore, atleast for now. Ran into a good deal and this G2x (according to the kid who sold it, also an avid XDAer) has no random reboot issues and the screen bleed is almost negligible. My Sensation was gorgeous and usable, but it had intermittent screen sensitivity issues. I had talked to T-Mobile a few times about it, and they had basically told me it's a known issue that will be fixed by an update from HTC. I'm sure had I prodded they would have gone through the throes of replacing it, but my problem was intermittent... I couldn't make it happen and god damnit anytime I showed someone it worked fine. Not to mention a factory reset completely fixed the problem for almost exactly one week. ARRGGHH. I know Tech Support would have had me Factory Reset it, which would have fixed the issue and then I would have had to wait another week to call back in for more troubleshooting and then possibly a replacement. I dunno, just thinking about it gave me migraines.

So for the time being I'm feeding my phone ADD with a new device, and I get to do the whole crackflashing thing again. And so far I'm very impressed. When the Sensy gets busted open and that sexy beast can perform like the G2x I think I will be jumping back. To see over 4000 on Quad, I was like, umm pants have been shat.

I think what happened is I heard so much bad about G2x and that the Sensation was supposed to be this gift from phone heaven. Sense 3.0 ran smoother on my MT4G than it did on my dual core beast. Just kinda bummed me out. And then with low expectations, seeing the G2x perform so well it just made my pants shrink.

Of course this is all moot in September when the Hercules drops... Stupid addiction. Plus if I can try L-flippin-G out, I think I can give Samsung another shot, especially with those specs. :eek:

Wow, thread hikacked, sorry OP. Should have sent a PM to graffix instead... EEK
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
agreed, I have both, I chose the G2x. The girlfriend now has the Sensation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
ayy just to chime in welcome aboard and we do have a hack that works for netflix it is editing build.prop on cm7 i use it every single day and it works beautifully and does not mess with the phone at all , just got done watching , dane cook, rough around the edges the other day:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] graffixnyc:
haha I hear ya. Yeah they are both really nice phones. Once I get my g2x back from LG in a few days I think I will rock that again for a bit. I honestly think a cross between the phones would be perfect. The looks of the sensation and the performance of the G2x. And dont worry about being in a strange land. I can honestly say that the g2x forum peeps are much nicer than the sensation people. So they will all make you feel welcome here ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] avetny:
I don't know, but my G2x don't have reboots, but Im tired of it. Because is "low budget" phone for me....

I remember all G-series never sparkled with design....

+Im filling fake drivers( example: settings scrolling, BASIC users never gonna see that, but who know-Android, will say Im right !!) ...even on CM7 witch is super fast* !!!!

So Im almost sell my phone...., and I will get SGS2... Expensive ! But 2.3 and same fast like all dual-cores.

oh and trust me when sensation get CM7 the phone will ROCK !
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
I have both and tried them side by side. I also read all the comparisons on cnet and other blogs. There was 1, I think CNET, but not sure, named the sensation a hands down winner over G2x in a side by side comparison. Problem was, almost all the tests were opinion tests. For example.

Body shape and style

each of use of apps

speed of access to internet,

game play performance.

All the info pointed to the peeps opinion on how they acted. for me, the side by side performance was much different. the stock g2x out performed the Sensation in every category except:

camera access and speed

Startup speed.

oh.....and I like alot of the Sensation sounds better

Otherwise , this wasn't even a competition.

But, as several have said, its your choice, what you like. If you like the metalic feel of the HTC, then cool, it is attractive. Or, what ever it is that draws you, then go for it.

Just don't let it be GB. The draw of GB vs 2.2 is not that much of a difference to be an impact....unless you want it to be :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
alodar1 is right especially regarding gb vs. froyo, i hate when i hear people say well i want that phone cuz it has gingerbread, and i think to myself what? why?, there isnt that much of a difference if u ask me all there is, is the scroll light up and i like the copy and paste and gb manages apps a little differently thats it, but froyo performs just as nicely especially 2.2.2, now the only time id say sure grab that phone it has gb, is if u were running 1.5:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] graffixnyc:
hehe well, even though the sensation is locked there is a OC module that you can load to make it run at almost 1.8. Although I'm not messing with it until we get it unlocked and a proper OC
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
lol my bad i should have clarified a little better i meant like gb is 2.3.3 well if u were running 1.5 which i think is eclair then id say make the jump
[T-Mobile LG G2x] graffixnyc:
oh hahahhaa I gotcha now :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TJBunch1228:
Hey man thanks for the warm welcome. I have seen that editing build.prop gets netflix working, but it breaks Swype and possibly some other things? I have also heard that perhaps deleting and reinstalling Swype after the build.prop change gets Swype to work again. Any confirmation there? Have you noticed anything else not working right after the change, i.e. Tegra Games, etc?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I have and use both but the Sensation is the daily driver. If I played a lot of games then the G2X woul be my daily driver. I mostly use it device for reading and the Sensation blows the G2X out of the water when it comes to putting more content on the display and gives you a much crisper looking text. After looking at my Sensation for a while, text appears blurry on my G2X. I don't think I can ever go to a lower resolution display again. As for the only game I play (Homerun Battle 3D) it looks and runs better on my Sensation. I guess it just plays nicer with the Adreno than the Tegra. Neither device has any major bugs. I've never had a reboot on either one and also don't have deathgrip issues or touch screen issues minus the couple times it takes me to unlock the G2X every once in a while. One more thing. Once you load ADW on a Sensation, the UI becomes as fast as the G2X with about 100 more MB of free memory when Sense is kept from loading. My G2X would have about 250mb of free memory while my Sensation has 350mb. The apps such as Google Maps were always faster on my Sensation. It loads instantely where the G2X would take a couple seconds. All in all, there both good devices and both are better in there own ways. The Sensation just fits my use more to be my daily driver.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrharvey:
In my opinion G2X with CM7 gingerbread blows every other phone out of the water including the sensation. I dont have any issues at all except the screen bleed thing but I guess if thats my only issue then I should be thankful. I wasnt too happy with the phone when i was running the stock ROM but I think now that CM7 has developed so much on this phone it seriously rocks. I much much much prefer stock android over sense UI. If a stable version of CM7 came to the sensation then i think it would be a very tough choice for me. I may even go with the sensation due to the larger and denser screen but who knows.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
From what I've read, G2x's IPS display is nicer looking than the higher resolution qHD display. Compare them before purchase ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I look at both of them side by side every single day and I can tell you that the only thing better about the G2X display is the contrast and better viewing angles. The Sensations display is better at everything else including crisper looking text, better performance in direct sunlight, more content from web pages on the display and the colors/icons just appear to be cleaner looking. In fact, after I look at my Sensation for a while. Everything on my G2X looks fuzzy. That being said. There are some bad Sensation displays floating around as there have been 2 confirmed manufacturers that make the panels. Sharp appears to have the better panel but most people have the Acer panel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nyyankees3511:
Before making my decision between the two I brought two different people with me at different times and asked them which display looked better to them. They both said the LG had the nicer display. That was the deal breaker for me. I've also been to a few stores and one store had a display that was nicer than the rest. Other than text being crisper the lg is superior in other ways. I used lcdtest on both also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Funny, I've asked all my friends which display looks better and all but 1 said the Sensation. Only one who didn't has a iPhone so maybe he's just IPS biased. :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
No problem dude and it definitely doesn't breaak swype a few people were doing it wrong u just have to edit model=htc-vision......and manufacture=HTC and that's it everything works beautifully
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
You know, I did the same thing. I bought both phones and played with both....for a month. Yesterday was my 30 day mark for the Sensation. I said in another thread I thought the Sensation was darker. This did not translate into better.

Using a Top Secret, Double Blind ballot, monitored by the J.D. Powers corporation, my girlfriend chose the Sensation, and I the G2x. So the testing was on the up and up...all legal and stuff. :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CESAROX:
My thoughts exactly! Haha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Out of curiousity... could someone compare the G2x @ 190 density vs the Sensation stock? I run my G2x at 190 and im really getting addicted to the smaller items and larger space. Just wondering. Perhaps someone could also provide screenshots.

Its super easy to do with root explorer. Just edit /sys/build.prop density setting to 190, save, and reset.

I've had every promising tmobile device. The sensation is the best yet. Solid build good battery NO SCREEN BLEED nice crisp display.No LG.

My next device will be the mt4g slide maybe as a backup. I see more support than the g2x coming once bootloader gets its panties taken off. ;-)

Cant deal with a company that can't admit to problems. First LG device and my last.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TJBunch1228:
Damn dude... Sign me up for whatever you do for a living. Must be nice to buy a brand new top of the line phone to keep "as a backup".

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Its really not that hard if you know what your doing. I am currently using a Sensation and a G2X and am still playing around with my Nexus S and Vibrant. I will also be buying whatever GSII variant T-mobile gets. Play your cards right and upgrading your phone every 3 months will cost you no more than $100. I have already come to grips that I will lose more than $100 on my G2X since it seems nobody wants them anymore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
I just know the right people and know what phones hold value. I been out of contract since tmobile was voicestream. I get all my phones at discounted rates and some before release date. Depending on htc and their training class dates. I got rid of my g2x fast because they don't sale for much anymore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Tell me about it. I should have sold my G2X a month ago when I decided the Sensation would be my daily driver. The only reason and a stupid one at that why I kept it was to play Riptide. In the past 2 years and about 10 phones later I have never seen a phone drop in value as much as the G2X.

By the way for anyone interested. I have a G2X with very minor screen bleed and no bugs. It has never rebooted on me for the 2 months I've had it and the battery lasts a good while. If anyone wants a bug free G2X and wants to get rid of there bug ridden one, give me a shout. I don't care how you get rid of your current one or who you sell it to. You wont hear any goodie too shoe comments from me about selling your buggy phone to some poor sole. Oh and one more thing. The phone has zero scratches and no blemishes. Its in like new condition.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
I think the constant blogging and contacting LG backfired. They are sweeping issues under the rug. I can get a g2x nib for dirtcheap for the simple fact of its issues that can't be fixed hardware wise. LG and tmobile are no longer doing exchanges and supposedly they are "relaunching" it new and improved no screenbleed no nothing. I want to see this but the value may go up later like the atrix and its unlocked bootloader
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aim1126:
This is so true. I haven't had a phone for more than 4 months in the past two years. And everytime I upgraded I even made some money. My g2x is my third phone this year and I'm currently waiting for my new sensation to get delivered next week :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
Well I can tell you right now. Neither you or I is making money off selling our G2X. Like I said before. I have never seen a Android device decline in value so damn fast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Triune:
As a person that has done it, these are the pros and cons. The Pros for me are, I finally have a device with minimal issues. The battery life is worlds better, the device imo is built better, and more or less, it is a worry free phone. The cons are it simply isn't as fast as a phone. The Bootloader isn't going to be unlocked until next month so no flashing fun til then. It's your choice. I guess it boils down to what you're willing to deal with.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
It depends what your talking about when comparing fast. I don't know about you but it seems to me that most apps load and interact faster on the Sensation. The browser is to close to call when it comes to load times but I can tell you scrolling is smoother on the Sensation. Apps like Google Maps load faster aswell. Quite frankly, the only thing I ever noticed significantly faster on the G2X was the UI and that's because it doesn't have to push any eye candy around with 30% less pixels.

Tell you what. Stop Sense from loading (it doesn't require root) and load ADW. Make sure you set it to the fast preset and you will see a UI on the Sensation as fast if not faster than the G2X. Im sure there will be some nay Sayers so in that case. Let me know when you want to see a video.

Amen...I use my sensation for a work phone and that's how I run it. It is very snappy... I am still addicted to my g2x when the work day is over...running cm7 the phone is damn solid...the only reason I don't use it more is it still shuts down on me...and I can't miss a call It costs me money...but both phones are outstanding... I don't really see a looser eitherway..imo

Sensation/G2x Best of Both Worlds[/QUOTE]

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.

I tried finding someone to trade my g2x for a sensation but I can't find anyone. Not because I don't like it, I just switch out phones often. So if anyone knows anyone I'm ready.
