Plum myTouch 4G Unboxing & First Boot-Up (Video) - myTouch 4G General

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwwj3QEiNDg
I like the color a lot more than I thought I would, but I wish I could have gotten red. Red was sold out at every T-Mobile store around me. :smileysad: Build quality is on point and the screen feels like gorilla glass, definitely harder than my G2's screen. It appears to be LCD however, and not SLCD. Doesn't look quite as sharp as my G2.

The specs say SLCD. Either way, the plum is sick big time.

Yeah I know. I'm surprised by it though. The G2's screen definitely looks sharper and more saturated, but the myTouch's screen is brighter overall. I still like how it's made of glass though.

Yes in loving the glass feel

It was sold out? At my tmobile, I was the 2nd one to buy the phone. I got the phone an hour after they opened maybe thatz why. I got white tho

I called about 10 T-Mobile stores and only one of them had a Red myTouch 4G, they had two in stock and when I got there 10 minutes later they were gone.

After having a g1 for 22 months and finding this mt4g on craigslist for a damn near steal.. i can honestly say i dont really miss the keyboard anymore. I prefer a larger display screen so i can actually read the text without having to blow up the screen more times then i would like to remember for the g1. If they ever decide to make a 4.3 inch qwerty slider phone i might think twice but for now i'm content with touchscreen typing. It's not so bad with some settings turned off like auto correct and auto capitalize that more times then not actually mess up what im trying to type(****in annoying as hell).

Wow. Seriously?

I just thought this was worth sharing.
I own an MT4G. In my year of having it I have gone through 6 replacements.
None with the SO Type 2 Panel.
Tonight (actually 10 minutes ago) I just got back from buying my wife an MT4G.
It has a cracked digitizer but otherwise works just fine.
The touch screen is still responsive in every corner and every side.
Even where it's cracked. I got this phone for 30 bucks. 30....
My wife now has a MT4G with a superior screen. SO Type 2.
FML!
P.S. She won't switch with me even though she doesn't see the difference.
She just knows that I want it, she has it, I don't have it and that's the way she likes it.

There's a thread under "General" that shows you how to find out.
A rooted way and an unrooted way.
Search "bad display" in the "General" forum.
Are you rooted or unrooted?

All you gotta do is turn off the phone (make sure fastboot is off)
then boot in to bootloader.
Hold volume down and press the power button. Hold it until you see the bootloader screen.
Go down to system info and look for something along the lines of SH-C2 or SO-C2.
SO is superior, SH is not.
Good luck.

i have the SH version, honestly i cant see anything wrong with my screen. iv compared it to other android phones and it is brighter and more defined, (evo g2, varius others) so idk maybe i need to really compare the two, btw my lady would trade with me

Saturation? Color? Contrast?
30 bucks... can it be any cheaper?
The screen is just seriously washed out in comparison. I don't want to use any terms incorrectly, so im just gonna keep it at that.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I went through several bad screens before getting a good one, and wife still has the bad one. I was checking out my friend's Sensation and immediately noticed that he has the bad screen. Apparently HTC is still shipping both screens even on their latest models. Will definitely be cautious if I go with another HTC phone after this.
I'm expecting my 2nd MT to arrive tomorrow.
If I haven't seen the bad screen, would I even know something is off? Like if my first phone had a bad screen and the new one does to, would I even guess that there's a problem?
I mean do you have to see a good and bad one side by side to know the difference?
Or is it like watching HDTV for years then trying to watch a show on an old 1920's black and white?

Anyone get the white SR yet?

My local at&t store has these in stock. Best buy has no eta; since i got mine at best buy i have a week left to return it. Just wondering if anyone else has gotten their hands on one and what's your thought?

I just picked mine up. After the android update, my camera went wonky and I had to exchange for a second time. Unfortunately, I ended up with another sh*tty screen after finding a decent one. Decided to wait until today and try the white or return altogether (getting a decent screen is a crapshoot). Guys, there are zero blobs on this screen, it seems crisper and lines are a non-issue...it is nearly perfect! I have to wonder if Samsung addressed the obvious issues with the white version. If you are still within your 30 days and having screen issues, I HIGHLY suggest trying the white version. I finally feel like I got my money's worth and have zero regrets about this phone.

I wish I had screenshots of the screen prior to the exchange but I do not, sorry, but just review the pics that other members have posted and you will get the idea. I have attached 3 screenshots from the new white version. On the phone I had prior to the exchange, the black background showed hideous blobs and blotches all over the screen but as you can see, the same exact black background shows zero blotches (on the lowest or highest brightness). Everythings looks so much richer and crisper on this one, imho...FYI, my screen is on a fairly low brightness setting.
to bad i dont know when i bought my phone.....or i would take it back to get the white one if they fixed the screen
just confirmed with BB that they will not carry the white version. Guess I have to keep my black one then

I actually went to ATT to get the HTC Vivid, but I was really disappointed with it. After talking to a very nice and intelligent sales rep, I decided to get the Skyrocket instead. When he went to get one from storage he realized that there were no black ones left. He told me that if we came back tomorrow (today) I could get a white one. His manager overhead the discussion and said "hold on". She walked back got a white one and told my sales rep he could sell it to me. I was very impressed with the level of service I received and I'm really happy with this phone. The white model is stunning IMO.

Damn I have 2 days to swap it. Hurry up BB.
Can someone confirm that there isn't any lines/blobs in this version please?
Ive been waiting for my skyrocket for 3 weeks now. Now I'm getting the white one hopefully today. Since they just came out yesterday. I finally get to have a new phone after using the captivate for a full year .
Was also able to return my black GS2 Skyrocket for a white one yesterday!! It feels smoother, the chrome lining does make it look nice, and under close inspection I could still see some vertical lining, but its less apparent than it was on the older gs2.
Maybe they did fix it, or I'm not seeing it. Then again it never really bothered me in the first place so I'm not entirely sure...

Black TMo One-S is here, picture inside.

Look what showed up at my work today.
It came directly from HTC for specific reps who won phones from HTC in April. I'd imagine they are releasing them very shortly since we received them as prizes today. Mine should be here in a few days and I'll check software versions to see if there are any differences.

Well when i had talked to one of the higher ups at HTC in March, he said they planned on releasing the Black version at launch, but since the coating had the chipping issues they decided to delay it till they fixed it.
Hopefully this was the actual reason, and we don't have any chipping issues on these phones. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow or day after.
Ok cool thx, I wanna see if they fixed the problem

[OPINION] Galaxy VS HOX Screen

Just wanted to write this little thing comparing the screens of the galaxy nexus and this phone. I have both these phones (galaxy nexus gsm and this one) and HOLY *^&$ is this screen AMAZING!!!
I thought that the nexus screen was good because it was hard to see any pixels and the blacks were really deep too, but then I got this phone and the first thing i noticed is that with the same resolution the clarity was amazing. I couldn't see a SINGLE pixel even if i put my face on the phone! I thought AMOLED screens were the only ones that had those deep blacks but wow was i mistaken! This screen has everything that i would ever want. Now if AT&T could just unlock the bootloader it would make it PERFECT. (Also maybe a way to get back from 2.20? Costco updated it in store for me and now i find out i cant root it yet. Wonderful. Anywho..just wanted to say that its an amazing screen for anyone whos thinking about this phone. GET IT...get it NOW!
Congrats on getting the HOX.
As for the update and locked bootloader, beaups said he wouldnt sleep with his wife until he found a way to root and unlock the bootloader at 2.20.

i have a Galaxy S2 skyrocket and i compared it to HOX screen not the resolution part mind you but the colors and the S2 had a blue hint to it and the colors werent as vibrant.
I love the naked feeling of this screen as well. Its perfect. This phone is perfect. :thumbup:
I'll just throw in my 2 cents in support of your post. Admittedly, I've never been a fan of the AMOLED screens, but this HOX screen just blew me away when i picked the device up. I've checked out the SGS3 a few times at ATT stores just to se ewhat it's packing, but I can't handle the pentile on that AMOLED. The LCD2 that the HOX packs is simply amazing. You simply can't find a pixel anywhere and the colors seem to be so true for me, whereas the AMOLEDs have always left me feeling a little annoyed from oversaturation. Though the blacks on the LCD2 aren't quite that of the AMOLED, but the color balance and 'accuracy', if you will, are simply stunning. I've never once regretted having this phone. Welcome aboard, this is a great phone and it has some really awesome dev's here keeping it going ( and fully embracing the support we are receiving from beaups' wife.)

No screen protector, no case, epic phone.
On an unrelated note, is that you in your picture, Shaddy?
The HOX screen is ok as far as blacks go on a LCD screen but it defintely not as black as AMOLED screen. But it is certainly much brighter than AMOLED. AnandTech measured the screen contrast of HOX. It is around 1,000. Great in terms of LCD but no where near AMOLED which is infinity
