(Updated) T-Mobile G2 Hinges Loose, Memory Problems Abound?

We’re not quite how widespread this problem is but we’ve got both the above video from Engadget who are also receiving handfuls of tips regarding this matter as well as Noah from Phonedog who also showcased his own loose hinge troubles. While the G2 hasn’t even made its way to the hands of all the pre-orders and with the launch date still 5 days away its not exactly what the manufacturer and the carrier are hoping to discover. Still, we’ll keep an eye on this and see how truly widespread the problem is and as always sounds off below with any of your own reports of loose hinges. Shall we call this, hinge-gate? I kid I kid.

Along with the hinge trouble, reports have been pretty consistent regarding the amount of memory included with the device. The G2 comes with 4GB of built in memory, however users are reporting free space amounts to under 2 GB’s. Facebook has put out an official statement via their Facebook page:

Thanks for the questions about the G2′s memory. Here’s the scoop: The G2 includes 4GB of internal memory, of which a portion is accessible for downloading applications from the Android Market and a portion is allocated for both the operating system and preloaded applications. You can also store content and some applications on the included 8GB SD card, which is expandable up to 32GB.

Thanks to everyone who brought this to our attention!

    Dude – if you are going to go on camera slamming the new Z hinge – could you shave and take off the dirty undershirt before making comments about the phone – it looks like you just woke up from a huge bender and found a phone on your front step. Rediculous.

    No it does not take up much room. People have done full mem dumps and scandisk there is only 2 gig of recognized memory. The only explanations are that HTC switched the 4GB nand for a 2GB, or the kernel is hiding the rest of the memory for large future updates or maybe using it for virtual ram.

    Great phone, hinge is a solid design. This phone has so many plus factors, too many to list. Talk about fast. This is coming from a Nexus One owner who also bought the G2 and is happy he did. Snap out of it people.
    PS
    If anyone buys their phone from the one sided view of that ass from phone dog then shame the fuc- on you. He is just another I-Phone suck who would like nothing more then to suck up to stevey boy jobs.
    Great job T-Mobile.

    @Jack, I’m the one you love to hate. I call in to customer loyalty and always get what i want. As a matter of fact, I’m awaiting the arrival off my G2 that loyalty gave me for free with free express shipping. Stop crying sir, your just mad cuz you can’t do it. You don’t even pay for the phones or any adjustments made so shut up.

    How much free memory do you have? One current theory is that the loose hinge and smaller internal memory may be correlated. If you have more than 2GB free that would help confirm it. If you have 1.22 then it would disprove it.

    Check applications>settings>sd card & phone storage>internal storage>available space
