Hello all,
I was wondering if anybody has had the opportunity to physically handle both the T-Mobile G2 as well as the Bell HTC Desire Z and could shed some light on if there are any size differences?
I'm looking into getting a case for my Bell HTC Desire Z but there aren't very many around. So I was going to order one from the US made for the G2. Does anybody know if this will work?
Thanks
there are exactly the same phone, only the battery cover says "g2" on the g2. That, and the software present on the phone is the only difference.

Thank you. That's what I was assuming but just wanted to double check.

Keyboard also has slightly different layout, but for the most part, yeah.

Came home today to find that I had received my G2 from the promotion they had last week and turns out this one has a different hinge than my first one.
No biggie, I never thought the first one had that big of an issue but nevertheless I made a video showing the 2 side by side.

holy sht...I wonder if i can get a replacement if im still under warranty hahah
So you do reckon they have actually resolved the issue now or have you just got one that is tighter than ur 1st one?
Looks like a change in materials!
I still don't see the fuss about the hinge though.
What fusses me more is that I've gone through 3 G2s and each of them had a pixel problem, be it stuck or dead. Had to use a microscopic-ish lens to find them. Lawl.
I am so jealous right now.

Don't be. People have mentioned that even over time, the hinge will get loose again (this is inevitable, all springs give way over time). So be content with what you have if you have a bug-free phone!

Was it a new upgrade or a replacement, when did you get the first one?
First of all, you may want to get yourself a nice camera that can do HD video recording.
Secondly, your second G2 with the tight hinges is exactly how my G2 was when I first got it. It was super tight, no give, and then after a week of use it become really loose but not quite as loose as your first one. Give it time, and I'm pretty confident that your new G2 will call the loose hinge flu. Let's hope not, though.
My G2 has an intermittent touch screen issue. T-Mobile says it's a known issue. This is unacceptable for me. Aný recommendations? Different model, brand ect. Thanks

Are you sure it's not this issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910624? This is a problem inherent with capacitive touchscreens (though some phones may be more susceptible than others depending on design and tolerances).
If not, you might want to try starting a new thread about it instead of trying to get help through one about the hinge (especially if it really is a known issue, others may be able to provide solutions).

No it doesn't, you just don't understand the nuances of capacitive touch sensors. YOU NEED TO COMPLETE THE CIRCUIT by having solid contact with the metal ring around the outside of the screen.
I've been playing with couple different dummy units at the stores
Like best buy and radio shack. They got no hinge problem at all. But really my wife got a g2 that has the problem but she doesn't say anything at all. me neither. I don't see why the problem would make me go have a replacement though. Unless theres something else. But so far so good

I actually just feel like it's a tighter hinge. If it goes loose or not, I don't know. But according to everyone here , it will loosen with time.

I added a new line to my plan last week during the promotion. I got the first one the day it came out.

Haha I would have done better recording but I was just recording it through the youtube recording client which is a POS.
And I expect it to loosen but hope it doesn't.
OP just chime in in about a week or so and let us know if anything has changed.
Why do you say that it looks like diffenret materials?

You know what, after playing around with it. It just made me realize how beat up my phone is compared to the one -_- Please disregard haha.
Reuploaded since I should have reviewed the video before uploading.
It's been 3 months of use and the hinge is as tight as it was on the first day. So I don't believe that it will become loss at least not during my duration of owning it.

Hi guys, i just bought my LG G2 from my brother in law who order it from singapore, it claims to be an original phone but i have my doubts, it does look like the real deal, and feels like real deal, but the low resolution manual and protective stickers freaks me out. Also the battery runs out kinda fast.
Can someone please help compare the specs of the hardware (with antutu or something like that) letter to letter so it matches?

Can it update to android lollipop?(depends on country/ type) that will be a 'clue' ( is it called clue?)
And what if u plug it into ur pc with lg pc suite
P.s. maybe the lollipop update is only by the lg pc suite
Open the backcover and look at the motherboard. Probably not a new d802 but a refurb d800..

i have a VERY bad experience with it
rebooting (automaticly)
freezing
overheating
unresponsive touchscreen
i should choose a samsung
The choice of model really depends on your carrier. The phone is still a good device if you can find one that is OEM with no replacements. I've had a bad experience with replacement screens and finding one that doesn't eventually crap out. If you can find one lightly used that hasn't had a replacement yet then you'd be well off.

On my case it was not a software problem. The touchscreen issues happened even with different Roms.
So I just noticed that the description for this device says that you can change the backplate of the device. I'm 95% sure that this can only happen on the OP1 and OP2, but not the X. Just thought I would spark a change so that the description is correct for people wanting to buy this phone.

You can be 100% sure !
The best way to relook the back plate is to use dbrand skins.
If not, you have to use a case for OPX as it's too slippery and to avoid scratches on the glass.
