Outraged with G2's issues, exchanging for the MyTouch Slide. Opinionate, please.

So, I've had the G2 for two weeks. And I'm disgusted. I've been getting alot of issues with restarting, forced manual rebooting, and the form factor itself. At first I thought the z-hinge was alright, but now its just annoying. It falls down during certain elevation situations, and scares me ****less, because I feel like I'm gonna snap the dammed thing. -__-
I understand that the MTS has lower specs, including rom/ram and CPU, but you know what? I'm not sure I care. I kno the MTS is solid, and its a slider phone with a decent keyboard. And that's what I wanted all along. So, here's your opportunity, XDA goers:
You can trash talk my decisions, agree with them, offer advice to suit my situation, or all of the above. Seriously. I need a bit of insight. Because I'm really sick of pulling my battery to restart it, losing my save data to sporadic restarts, and feeling like I'm gonna snap the damn hinge off this phone. I'd almost rather just enjoy the fact that I have the newest phone, than actually operate it. Sad? I know it. So, opinions, go.
Thanks in advance, I suppose.

...have you done an exchange? Some people are having these problem, sure, but give it another go. However, nobody can help you out with the form factor issue.
Edit: Something that came to mind after. The new MyTouch that's coming out (what is it now, the MyTouch 4G? HD? I lost track). That's always an option if the MTS seemed worthy.

I have done one exchange. Which took the issue from just freeze screens, to both freeze screens and sporadic restarts. It just became worse.

Bump. -__-

Bad batch of g2. I've had three and only issue I ever had was loose hinge. I might go for a fourth but I'm trying not to let the loose hinge bother me. I might or might not. But lik dude said try another one. I personally will never compare g1 or g2 with the mytouch family. Its like apples n bananas

The Slide is NOT worth it. You'll regret that decision pretty quickly, I think. It's also too much @ 429.99 last I checked. Unless you're upgrading. I say exchange it for another G2 and if you still don't like it, hold out for another slider. Just please don't waste your money on the Slide, lol.

Received my fourth G2 replacement Three days ago. What a difference!!!!!!! The hinges are tight, no random rebooting, no screen freezes, no turning itself off and the reception is perhaps slightly better, These are all issues that the other three had out of the box. I know it has been only three days but this is the first one that out of the box was right. The only issue has been a dropped call and that was right after charging the battery and making the call. Since then it has been rock solid. I would recommend you go with YOUR gut feelings. Let me just add that after the third I had called TM to cancel and return the phone and the rep in Cust. Loyalty mentioned there was a OTA rolling out that would fix all or most of the issues. He indicated it would be out soon. I took a chance and while there has been no OTA i did receive a phone that is quite acceptable. Whether he was telling the truth about the OTA or not is a moot point to me. There are solid excellent working G2's out there. To what extent I do not know but they do exist.

tenbeau, what baseband and software version does it have installed?

My wife personally likes the slide's keyboard more than my G2. The reduced power or vanilla or not android install are not important to her.
I like the G2 far and away more, and I'm using the hardware keyboard much less than I thought I would now that I have swype. I like the screen res, the display is the right size, and it's faster than the N1.
I'd say if all that was really important to you was the keyboard, you could get the slide and install cm6 if you don't like the factory android install.

Better just give up cell phones all together. You are always gonna run into probs. It would take one who has had many phones to find this true. Nothing is perfect. Btw, the mts is a badass phone. My wife has one. But than again....so is the G2.

I'm frankly disgusted by the customer service I've received over this phone. It's horrible. I was just told that the loose hinge is a "design feature" and pretty much told to deal with it.
Never had anything but stellar CS from Tmo until now. I can't believe they won't work with their customers any better than this.

quick question....if I have OC'd my G2 (and I have) could I revert tall of it, and return it without them being any wiser????

don't do it, i had the slide and i absolutely hated it. the thing is laggy, small screen, bad camera, no live wallpapers(by default), and no development for it. the G2 has all those wonderful things and should soon be running CM6. IMO the hinge is not bad at all, i actually tried to twist the screen off the demo at work and when it wouldn't budge i decided the phone is quite sturdy.
also the G2 has been dropped twice in 24 hours and has no marks on it but the slide never got dropped and has all kinds of scuffs all over the edges, you deffinately need to keep the G2

Yes you can.
OP I personally have both phones. The G2 is leaps and bounds better than the slide. If I were you, I'd keep getting exchanges until the right one comes along. If you don't want to do that, wait until the mytouch 4g gets released publicly and exchange your phone for it.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

For everyone who is doing multiple exchanges....are you doing them in store or do you have to call customer service?....Also are you getting brand new phones or are they already sending out "refurbs"?

in the 3 almost 4 weeks ive owned the G2 i am on my 5th replacement. and nothing seem to be doing well. Waiting on the replacement to come in. I love the G2 with it being stock android, but if the 5th ones does not cut it. I hate to say but have to jump ship to the MTHD. ( and i advice you to go with the MTHD not the slider) not even comparable to the G2

Serious heart to heart.

Just to apologize in advance to posting this thread.
I really need help on a choice im on the fence about since next week I will lose my 30 day return period.
Here it is 5 Nexus S's later and almost every unit had a different problem.
1st: soft resets at least 4 times a day.
2nd: wifi doesn't work
3rd: massive screen banding.
4th: back button did not respond to touch.
Now: screen coating is peeling.
I love Gingerbread! Its going to be really hard giving this away. I love the design and profile of this phone.
I've convinced myself that its ok for the weak wifi signal and a Gps that doesn't lock as good as other phones.
I'm torn between returning it or sending it in for repair.
I also have owned every Tmobile smartphone (MT4G, G2, Vibrant), I could exchange it for one of those.
Why lol does the best phone ive seen in a while have to be seriously half-assed.
Not because of the features but because of all those problems I put above.
I want something that works pretty solid and software mix but it looks the world is in capable of doing this.
Thanks And hope some one with patience can help me out.

Idk man I just picked up nexus s today from bestbuy, I had the vibrant and the problems you've had software/device related I have not seen on mine. Mine just OTA updated about 2 hrs ago to 2.3.1. I havent had it long enough to comment on peeling but ya.
Its solid device to me so far, But I understand what your saying after 5 NS later.

Yeah I really dont feel disappointed. Just sad. lol
I dont want to send it in because thats 2 weeks without it And I HATE Samsung especially their costumer support!

Well I know ur sad about it, But in order for stuff to be changed its gotta cost samsung money that all these phones r coming back. I mean its a shame, but maybe you still have a old android phone to hold ya over?

Nope lol I sold my nexus one....worst mistake of my life I guess Ill just do the return and hopefully my patience will pay off.
What sucks is that even after six months Samsung wont improve this phone as far as defects go. Look at the vibrant lol
If you have a good one with no problems hold on to it man because I wish my luck was good enough to have a good one.

On my third one here, will use vmy black tie for another eventually. Shop around. I went to different best buys. Some get bad batched. One had 10 all with the creased glass screen. Another had none. Some of these phones were made days before the launch so though its disappointing, I believe there are good ones. I have one now but the stupid platinum case already scratched my phone.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Like the poster above me, I would try to exchange at a completely different Best Buy. Bad batches are called so for a reason--the entire batch may be faulty.
I picked up my Nexus S at 8:00AM Launch Day and haven't had a single issue with it at all. I had to go through three MT4Gs before I returned it completely, and three G2s before I was satisfied with the last one(it still had issues, but at that point, I was tired of dealing with it). And on the screen coating thing: I don't know what coating people are talking about and if there is such a coating, then I think alot of folks are expecting too much out of it. Review/unboxing videos and my own device had fingerprints showing up the second people started using it. Do folks honestly expect touchscreen phones not to show fingerprints/smudges ever? That's unrealistic, imo.
And it's only under direct light(i.e. a directional lamp pointed right at it) that I see them at all. In day to day use, it's not an issue for me.

story like this, makes me feel a really really lucky guy, since i ordered mine by mail.
it'd have been a nightmare if it had any of those defects

I appreciate all the insight so far.....
If i do go back to an old one it would probably be the G2
but Im thinking of getting another one and fit it with a screen protector right away to stop this peeling garbage.

when he told me, i was crying laughing at him.

Im just going to call it quits with samsung lol They should just stick to TVs
I got a Led 40 inch and no problems!!
Im never going to get a samsung phone again and im going to make sure I book mark this sucker so if I do feel tempted Ill look back at my self hahahah
Oh and ll_l_x_l_ll, man i did have that problem with the vibrant and I lost some sleep on that man for real lol

Mine had a lot of these same issues the OP pointed out. I returned it, but not because of said issues lol.. I needed some extra cash for Sandy Bridge!

Have you tried returning your phone at another best buy? (if you can) as others have said, if your local store has a bad batch and sales are low you may keep getting units from the same batch.
Depending on the staff, you could also ask about the number of returns that store has had recently.
Seems a shame after 5 phones not to try once more in the hope you get a good one!

This doesn't sound like a bad idea whatsoever. Seriously... I'm on my 4th SNS. I just love it too much to give up. I did two swaps at one best buy, fully returned it and drove to another one. This one seems solid now, and I have a month if I change my mind, but if that's the case, I'll return it and go online. Sounds like you guys have been having luck, no?

If you look for defects you're going to find them.

Defects of HTC One

Hi pals. This is my first post in this forum and hope many will follow. I'll get straight to the point.
I've been away from XDA for quite some time and haven't followed HTC One forums. Today, I looked through few pages but couldn't actually find what I was looking for, a thread of all the defects of the phone. When I first bought HTC One X I did a thorough research on the phone and keeping everything in mind I went for the phone. I knew every single defect the early batches had so I got a right phone back then. The problem is, I don't really know what hardware defects are there in the early batches of the phones being shipped and I'm really in a mood to get one as soon as next week.
Further, the price of HTC One in my area is at $860 and it's something I can't comprehend. The price is $575 so with little alteration it should be around $600 max. One of my friends is in States these days and he'll be back next week. I'm gonna ask him to get One for me on his way back. I need to know are there any defects in the phone? I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE OR CLAIM FOR WARRANTY ETC so I need something solid. The price of the phone is not going down soon here so I have to get it from the US through my friend. But I don't wanna end up with a defected phone. Please the users of HTC One and everybody else who knows write me here if there's something.
If you still are unable to understand what I mean then have a look HERE. This is what I want.
Regards

Ever heard that if you don't have anything positive to say, then don't say anything at all? The OP is only trying to help.
On mine OP, I have 1 dead pixel at the top left (not enough of an annoyance to swap the handset) I've noticed that where I've been pulling out the charger, the plastic seems to have raised up a bit and also when using for a while it gets pretty hot but I think this is just down to the metal casing.
Other things I've heard is the capacative buttons being unresponsive at times, a few camera issues that seem to have been sorted with an update and the gap issue mentioned above.
Other than that I can't say I've got any huge problems.

Almost no problems here, the bottom part of the volume button is ever so slightly raised higher than the top one. Although there is some game lag with games such as doodlejump, temple run, temple run 2, jetpack joyride. Overall this is the best gadget I've ever owned and I've owned lots
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

As far as the problems concerned,
tiny gap on top or bottom of the phone(about 15 - 20% of the phone)
Unresponsive back button(most of the handset)
dead pixel(5 - 10% of the phone)
Less than a day(12-14hrs) battery life(i think no problem after few cycles)
contrast of the screens are varying on different carriers(not big issue)

there is already one thread that is discussing these issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247601

No gaps, the white plastic bezel around the phone is a good spot to check around, mine has what looks like a crack through it, and a few flaws. Pretty decent light bleed in the bottom right as well.

Comin guys this gap issue is way overblown.
After reading this forum about the gap issue, and the screen is not flush enough issue, I was scared to order one. But I did anyway, and my dev edition came in perfect condition.
If it weren't about reading people complaining about the gap issue, I wouldn't have noticed it or try to look for it. And when I did, I saw this mini tiny minuscule gap only on one corner, you can't see it with the naked eyes, you have to slide you finger in there in order to feel it. I was like noway I am returning the phone because of this.
I didn't even bother to download a pixel tester to see if there are any dead pixel, to my naked eyes I can't see any.
Enjoy the phone , I am sure you will not keep it for more than 2 years before another one comes out and you decide to upgrade.

I never noticed it before and kinda wish I was still ignorant about it. I did have to pull a small hair out of the gap the other day, but now my skinomi invisible shield covers the gap. I'm also having trouble with is the back and home button not responding all the time, but then I'll push it like 10 times in a row and it will always work. I think it's a software issue because it seems to only happen in certain menues. Has anyone else noticed that? If this continues to annoy me I'm going to have to switch to the s4.

I am using 1.29.1540 and I do not have issues with the capacitive button.
Sometimes, I press it and it does not respond. My trick is to use the palm of your thumb not the tip, so that you can cover more area when pressing the button.

Why do we need two threads about issues with the HTC One? We'll just attract trolls.
By the way, defect means fault that does not meet the original spec. All defective HTC One devices should get replaced under warranty.

I just cut holes in my screen protector and the response problem seems to be completely cured.
My opinion based off what I experienced with this issue is that the screen protector cut off some sensitivity plus touching the back or home button and part of the screen at the same time is what caused this problem.

G2 issues, any solutions/suggestions?

I am really thinking of selling this thing. I put it up at Craigslist just to see what kind of bites I get on it. I'm just having a hard time with some stuff:
Proximity sensor is weird, at times the screen doesn't turn on when I put the phone down when calling someone, and other times when calling someone and I put it up to my ear the phone seems to go to sleep and the call is disconnected. Sometimes when the phone doesn't turn on again the knock on sensor doesn't work and I have to use the power button.
Knock on doesn't work half the time. I've tried every variation of fast, slow, and keeping my finger in the middle. Sometimes it works beautifully , others times it takes 4 or 5 tries.
Random battery drain, seems it's that CIQ GPS issue, but it just randomly pops up and if the phone is in my pocket drains half of it in an hour or 2.
Rear buttons are getting annoying. They are sensitive, if it's in my pocket and I'm listening to music even a light tap of my pocket and the volume is affected. I can't really get used to them.
Speaker is TERRIBLE. I did the audio hack on here and raised it to 68, I also tried the Viper4android app, neither of them made much difference. Even if they did, it's still mono so doesn't make for a great emergency boombox. I can be in a quiet room and it's bordering on useless.
Even with CleanROM installed I still get occasional lag, it's only minor, but it just bums me out with such powerful hardware.
The rest of my complaints are with Android and things that are just not polished or ready for prime time, but that should be another subject.
Pluses:
The screen is insane, and it's VERY easy to read in sunlight.
The battery life (when not bugged) is pretty insane as well.
Android is cool to tinker with.
Who else is on the fence?

Err no

Sure you just didnt get a monday-version of the phone?
I mean.. I have had a BLAST with the G2 so far.
I wouldnt sell it if I got the double for what I paid.
Well.. I would.. and I would buy another one !
But on my G2 I have no issues whatsoever. Not rooted or anything yet though.

O.P, you have a defect.
My phone definitely doesn't act like that. I'd try exchanging first before selling it altogether

Why did you wait till after the return window was closed? I'm afraid Craigslist would only net you some low ballers.
I'm not sure which carrier version you have but if it's a Verizon version expect nothing but low ball offers.

OP is alone on this one. So far it's been the best phone I've owned. The screen and battery kill all.

I tend to wonder if people start threads like this in the forum of the phone they are selling just to get attention. Just sell it and move away quietly. No one really cares.

I originally bought it off CL for $400, maybe that's why they sold it, lol. I already got 2 offers for $400 so should at least break even. Maybe I have a defective one, but don't feel like going thru LG warranty.

I tend to wonder if people start threads like this in the forum of the phone they are selling just to get attention. Just sell it and move away quietly. No one really cares.

I always wonder about people complaining about threads like this, if they are just trying to get attention. Just read it and move away quietly, no one really cares.
Seriously, taking the time to lecture me about what I should post is just as bad as me starting a discussion. It's a forum after all. If you have something which might help that would be great, have you experienced the same issues? Do I maybe have a defective unit? Do you know of any fixes which might help the issues I have?

well then there is no point in this thread, other then arouse people, and for what...
oh snap troll baited.
Please close and delete thread

OP, What's sad is if you had my phone, you wouldn't sell it. So far mine is perfect & has no issues @ all. Have you considered trying to buy a brand new G2?

If you were really looking for issues to fix the phone you would ask that instead of whining about selling it

Been using the Verizon variant and so far am really enjoying it. After being on touchwiz for so long, the G2 is a refreshing new experience.

I may try to go through LG warranty. Anyone think they would give me an issue if I don't have a receipt and wasn't the original buyer?

I did ask, but thanks for your whining about my whining.

You definitely must have a defective unit, mine is so good. Previously had a Galaxy 3 & I'm not regretting the decision to skip the S4.
Best phone I've used, ever.

I don't think so. The phone just came out so the warranty is still good provided there's no water damage or anything major.

I reeeeeeeally hope the buyer of your defective phone will end up here on Xda, finding this thread. He then might have a case against you since you sold him a phone you knew didn't work properly.

I haven't sold my phone. I will probably send it in to LG to see what they think, I just was hesitant to do that in case they can't replicate the problems. I didn't feel like waiting a month just to have them send it back and say it's fine. Seems they are intermittent. Most of the time the phone functions well, other than a slight lag. The proximity sensor issues are fairly occasional, but I haven't had the phone in a while. The knock on sensor is about 1/3 the time, but anecdotally I've read lots of other users having the same issue so that may be a universal problem with maybe a batch of them. The battery drain issue is also a well known bug with CIQ which some experience.

You need the reciept.
Doesnt matter if you're not the original owner or not though.
Edit: This is according to Norwegian\Scandinavian laws btw.

[Q] screen issues very common?

Planning to buy a g2 but read some people have issues with the screen with touchscreen issues. How common is this issue? Is this fixable by software patch?

Very common. Do a search. Cause is still unknown.

thx for the reply.. is it independent on model version? I want to buy the korean version... not sure I will get one now considering it's pricey and prone to screen issues

It happens to every version. I had mine fixed a few months ago and it's happening again.

that's a major letdown... so disappointing.. is it software or hardware fault?

seems people say turning it off and restarting solve the issue

apparently an update fixed it??
edit: looking at the thread I can see a lot of people still having the issue.. unfortunately Lg G2 is a no for me although it seemed to be the perfect phone for me... going to look at the galaxy s4 now. Thx for the replies

I never had a problem and when I did have a screen problem it was because I had a JDI one and I fixed it. Its an awesome phone (Better than S4) so you should really try playing with it. Rooting it is also another option and I dont think custom roms give you the touchscreen problem.

No, this issue appears in plenty of custom ROMs.

Since when I had my phone repaired and they had to change out my prox sensor, screen, and digitizer, I really think it's a hardware issue.

Just had to have my D801 replaced by T-Mobile for an issue where the screen was picking up two finger touches instead of just one in a small area in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Warranty replacement was easy but I wish this wasn't an issue.. I love this phone.

I was going to do that with TMO, but they wanted $19.99 "processing fee" or something ridiculous. On top of that, I'd get a refurb device. I ended up going through LG - they had my phone for about two weeks.
Like I said though, the issue is back..

as i was going to buy the korean version without warranty... I think it is not a wise decision to do that seeing so many issues with the lg g2 screen... I am disappointed as this phone looked like my ideal phone with ideal screen size (not too big, not too small) with a good camera... but I don't want to take a risk on the screen issue.. I have the htc desire and it has issue with multitouch and it is very frustrating (can't even rotate on gmaps) ... I don't want this again lol

That's weird. I only had to pay $5 processing. The guy said because I was on the JUMP program. Also I got like super expedited shipping for free. I suppose I may have gotten a refurb but a refurb I better than a broken phone. I just hope this doesn't happen again...
