It should be under warranty, so that'll be the easiest route (apart from losing your phone for an unspecified amount of time...)

Could you explain how to test the vibrator? I have lost vibration on mine, though I think I have somehow disconfigured it.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cchaos:
Yeah but I rooted and debranded it so byebye warranty. Its not too much of a problem though. Just worried about a phone call or a text I may not hear lol.

Anyway. Service menu:

menu, back, back, menu, back, menu, menu, back on lockscreen. NOTE: it doesnt work if you try entering it using lockbot lockscreen. Default one does though. Service tests, then Vibrator.

I read your thread the other day. Thats pretty much the same way mine has "died" (most apps wanting to vibrate when it does something)

yey ! just like Iphone, you reinstall the original fw by SEUS and thay don't know you rooted it before.

Are you able to power the dock/phone off of a usb port? I'm not concerned about data access, just power. My plan is to mount the dock and run a USB cable from the secondary port on my M$ Sync system up through the dash to power it. This way I don't have the ugly car adapter cord in plain sight..

How do I personalize the screens on my HTC EVO 4G to show my name at the top of each page as opposed to the standard Sprint?

i sold my vibrant on craigslist and got this phone... Is there anyone thats actually happy and satisfied with this phone??

Thanks everyone!!

Yeah it is a really great phone. It has some quirks but none that are serious, but what phone doesn't. Overall solid phone and the good far outweighs the bad.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muriani:
I'm quite happy with it.

My hinge is not springloaded, but the design of the hinge works so that you have to be holding it almost perfectly upside down for it to flip, and the way I hold it in bed has my fingers ever so slightly on the edge of the screen holding it in place.

HSPA+ is nice, if you have the coverage.

The phone rocks at 800MHz, I can't wait until it's rooted so we can see how it fares at 1GHz.

Tethering will come with root. Don't really care about wifi tethering, USB is good for me.

Wifi reception is also much improved over my G1.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZ2ENVY:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kienz:
Coming from the Vibrant, I will say that I loved th escreen size on it, as well as the slimmer form factor. That being said, the lack of led notifications, a camera flash, non-functioning gps (even with "fixes", it was half-ass at best), no trackball (which made placing the cursor at specific points bewteen words very difficult), and Samsung's seeming unwillingness to commit to a hard deadline for a fix to any of the software issues described here and eslewhere, let alone a definite date for a 2.2 update, had made me nostalgic for an HTC device.

Unfortunately, when I got the Vibrant, my wife became the proud new owner of my carefully kept, rooted, booted, and scooted Nexus One, so I was stuck.

Personally, I really like it. It's like a Nexus one with a keyboard, without the colored trackball, with a faster processor, an edge-lit trackpad, slightly more girth, and a better gpu.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkadesi:
i love my G2, it performs far better than what I expected it to be. :D

-Almost everyone is in the 4GB memory debacle - I am sure T-mo/HTC will address this issue

- i am one of the lucky ones, my hinge is not loose when I hold the upside down.

-You have to give HSPA sometime.... only a fraction of their network is under FULL HSPA..... and its given that over time that network will only become stronger and wider.

-Camera is good enough for me, really I am not expecting to shoot pro videos but I have been satisfied with what it shoots.

-wifi, thats just a matter of time until ROOT/ROM business starts and we can have wifi tethering as easy as cake

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinistersai4d4d:
I admit I was leery when I went to purchase my phone at Radio Shack. I made the guy open the box so I could see this hinge issue. I realized it's not an issue. Just a different style of hinge which works really well. I guess people were surprised that if you hold the phone upside down by solely the keyboard the weight would pull the hinge down.. once I actually had it in my hands it didn't seem like a glitch or anything, and it's actually something you have to do intentionally and rather carelessly imo. Why would you risk holding the phone upside down by just the keyboard? Unless you're asking for the thing to snap in half.

The hinge thing was my biggest concern, (cuz I use my phone laying down in bed) but once I saw that it was blown out of proportion I went for it. If you hold the phone you see how difficult it is to seperate the screen from the KB without doing so purposefully.

I have HSPA in my area and am amazed at how fast it is. It's like constant wifi.

I was surprised they had it here (Albany NY) because we were like the last city to get 3G.

The 2gig 4gig thing didn't bother me, I just figured it was a typo. And we're not talking Ram or Rom here... it's just storage space. You get an 8gig card and my G1 had 256mbs internal storage, so 2gigs should be more than enough for 99% of users. I didn't care about that at all. In fact I rarely look at internal storage on android devices since they all take SD cards and you can install apps on SD. But i guess I see how some people would feel gyped out of their "GeeeeBeeees."

Here's my G2 right after unboxing next to my iPhone and G1.

and yesterday l left this valley i'm located in (blocks good signal) and found HSPA+ svc 1/2 mile up the road - pulled 6.8Mbps D/L speed - now i've got to get a wireless repeater so i can pull HSPA+ here at home

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmontanez:
I am very happy with mine too. As some have already said, there are a few quirks but nothing serious and soon root and other ROMs will take care of the lack of tethering. I use my HD2 for that for the moment. Overall, I say it was about time TMO got something good.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daijizai:
I am anything but satisfied. Apart from all the standard problems, I am a little miffed about all these pre-installed programs that I cannot uninstall, or even keep from running.

Sure I can use a task killer to keep photobucket from running after it intercepts intents, but I shouldn't have to. I want the vanilla android experience I was promised. That'd be why I am back on the nexus.

The speed of the G2 rocks, but the end user experience is, in my opinion, sorely lacking.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjvah:
Extremely happy with mine, coming from a Nexus One. Super fast, super solid, and the keyboard feels very high-end.

My hinge is loose, and I'm missing the 4gb storage like everyone else. I don't care.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TL24:
Man i thought i was the only with the same issue! I hate the fact that i have to constantly kill some applications that i do not want running... Such as Photobucket, Finance and other crap that i dont' need.

I hope once we've got this phone rooted we can take care of this small issue but besides that i'm loving my G2! I'm a former Blackberry Bold 9700 user and this is my very 1st Android based phone - with that said i'm glad i made the switch baby! :D

Root + Titanium Backup = bye bye unnecessary programs.

Every phone comes with bundled apps, I'm not saying it's right but that's the way it is.

I've deleted all those from my Droid Incredible via Titanium Backup.

Problem solved.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smasraum:
I didn't realize the memory was "missing". Just because we can't use it or see it doesn't mean that it's not there doing something.

The hinges feel fine to me, but then I'm unlikely to be using the keyboard while laying on my back.

Was everyone really expecting 14mb? seriously?

what's wrong with the camera?

Yeah, tethering would have been nice, but I'm not surprised. I'm sure they'll want to charge for that. Once the phones are rooted, we should be good to go on that anyway.

I love the phone. I'm very happy with it. It does seem weird that all of those apps are constantly in the background, but they don't seem to be a problem.

The only things that I would change (not a big deal at all) would be some of the button placement. I'd prefer to put the search button on the far left instead of the far right, and I'd like to have the track ball replacement thingy work to wake up the phone, but those are both minor. This phone is so much better than my last (G1) which was a good phone....

No, not quite. While progress is being made, it's only temporary which is stated in the article, and at the current state -- unable to flash custom ROMs.

The software complaints, while valid, are kind of silly IMO. What new phone doesn't have preloaded apps (usually more annoying than this selection) and a skin? It will all be remedied when custom roms appear.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorsher:
Other than it being slower to access a memory card than internal memory, no.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mftek1:
oh ok..

so for example: i save an app to my msd card. from my home screen i click on the app to open it. the only differnece would be it would delay a few seconds before it opens?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:
Im happy with my g2 its far faster then my g1.

the camera is great, flash kinda whites them out a like buy thats normal when you use an led flash.

The z hinge works great for me. You gotta think about it when you hold your phone you hold the front and the back so y would it open unless you want it to?

Wifi tether will come when root is there. By default the phone has it but its just not unlocked. Also y fuse about wifi tether didi any other andriod for tmobile come with it preloaded and on? No i dont think so.

memory is good and the 4gb space problem i dont think is a problem. I still believe its there but is only 2gb user and the other 2gb is for the phones system/update/backup. Thats y right not root wont stick.

but I am happy with the phone the only things i would change is. Trackpad color(we still dont know if its there or not)

USB placement i would like it on the bottom but i see y it would be hard to do.

Thats it.

On a side note i got mines before i paid this months bill so the phone will be added to next month bill but i already have it and i got amonth to pay it in full well a lil more then a month.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TL24:

While I can sympathize with your dismay towards all the preloaded apps, I certainly don't let them annoy me. I never notice any slowdown, so don't care that they're running. When root is available I will surely remove the crap I don't want, but until then I don't really find it a big issue.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlieAngel:
I haven't noticed the 2gb being an issue (but it does irk me if they used the wrong parts), and the hinge is, so far, a non-issue. The phone itself is pretty badass. The downsides are: no root yet (so no tethering) and it actually feels like the network speed is SLOWER than on my G1 (How is this possible?), but I never did a speedtest on the G1. I suppose I could pop my sim in and try, but that means I'd be without my G2. If in a few months speed doesn't increase (I'm hoping it's just gotta be rolled out.. I have an "H", but is it H or H+?), then I'll start griping.

WHY do you have to kill them? Are they hurting anything? Are they actually slowing the phone down? These days lots of OS's have REALLY GOOD memory/resource management that keeps stuff from hurting performance and can actually boost performance. Yes, if we were running Windows 95, you'd want to free up as much memory as possible, but maybe you're not helping yourself or the phone when you kill off the apps that you aren't using.
