Let Down..

[ickster]

I'm through messing with this phone.

I am having the exact same issues with the wifi. I will connect...it will say connected to ickster. I'll go to the internet or market or click a link fine the first 3 or 4 times. Then eventually, I'll lose my connection. It will show me the screen that says data connection lost. But the wifi icon is there. When I go to settings, the wifi is checked, but it doesn't say connected to ickster. Turning it on and off fixes it....until it goes out again. I can duplicate this consistently. This while my sons Indulge,our 2 laptops and my daughters G2X will be working fine....side by side. And the tmobile connection is sparodic at best as well.

This phone also has the worst screen bleed of the four. I feel bad now for dogging people who complained about this. When I put phone #3 and #4 side by side, this new one has noticably worse colors...esp noticable on the whites. The whites on #3 are clearly and obviously whiter. I'm thinking it's 'cause of the excess light on the screen from the "bleed"? I don't jnow, but it really is obvious.
I have not seen any booting or reception issues yet.

I definately get it. I love mine. I'm waiting for my third one to come. I'm thinking about all the work getting everything the same again. For the third time. For me, it's worse, because I'm coming off three months of torture first with the Indulge then with Sprint. I just want good service on a device that works. period.
I've been a big cheerleader of this phone, but my issues ARE getting old. I'm sick of messing with it.

But you know what? This phone is worth it IMO. Just ask anyone who has one that's perfect. And they are out there. My daughter has one. I may have to take hers, but that is a different thread.

I've given this a lot of thought. The contract is signed so I'm stuck with T Mobile. I really am very happy with them. The Sensation looks awesome. but....Too big, not rootable, and another unknown stability wise. So that's out. I hate Samsung. Lousy support.

So the G2X is my choice. I initially was of the mind that if I get another buggy one, three strikes you're out. After thinking about it, I'll go to a fourth if necessary.
Look around, virtually everyone who has issues say they are on their third or fourth. That says two things....Customer support IS supporting this phone. And that once people have had it they want to keep it.

When mine is acting right, it is unbelievable!

I'm really curious where you heard that the Sensation is not rootable. Ive been wanting to get rid of my rooted Vibrant but the G2X was just too big of a disappointment for me to sign a new contract or get rid of all the work I put into my Samsung. Im trying to do final comparison on the 15th between the new batch(if you can call it that) of LGs and the Sensation. I havent been to XDA in a while so I haven't read any threads about them having trouble rooting it.

I think I said that before HTC announced about unlocking the bootloaders. They've even announced that the Sensations will eventually be unlocked as well.

But it does appear that the Sensation has serious reception issues as well. And I can't figure out if it has a wired video out or not.

Biggest prob-Piss poor reception. Multiple calls not going through. No service on screen. Regularly.
Wifi and data dropping off - like the last one
and
Problems entering numbers on the keypad while on speakerphone,probably a non issue, but I'm getting bugged by these constant issues.

Im having the same problem and its pissing me off!!

I had G1, Clik, Nexus One, MyTouch 4G, now G2x. I can easily say G2x is the worst phone. Yeah, the spec shines. But the flaw in this phone makes it unusable. Can't wait to get Sensation 4g.
