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.

Haha indeed.
Lol dude that's funny.
Just buy a new digitizer to replace that broken one. Then fix your wife's phone.
Then do the magical switcharoo. She won't tell the difference, lol.

Yeah I'm trying to find one now for it. Been watching some videos trying to get a handle on it.
How do you know if you have the superior screen?

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?
Rooted . Ill look into it

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 got the lcd so c2 lol now I know mine is good

Awesome. But wait til you see the difference then you'll REALLY know.
I swear even with a broken digitizer on my wife's phone my phone can't even compare.
My lady would do the same exact thing.

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
Yea I have the good screen and one of my family members got the phone, and I immediately noticed that they had got the bad screen. I was like...... . Seriously the difference is great

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.

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?
This is a black battery door. I think its the vibrant oem door... I just think it looks better.

Don't most people use cases so you never see the back cover? Good price if you need a cover though.
Haha I've been using this since the sgs4g released, my dad has been using the vibrant. So I just took the extra battery door that came with his.

I don't understand how you can relate "Sex" to a phone. Nor can you have sex with a battery door.
LOL.

@leo321,
I am not flaming you, it is a nice back door. Just had to point it out though. Also, I am trying to make an SGS4G / vibrant compatible solar charger sleeve! Yes.
If reffering to a woman the word attractive is synonymous with sexy. It is an adjective that i chose to use because i thought it sounded less bland than to say "more attractive battery cover". And I dont feel the word is overused, cant have too much sexy lol

I've found a few cases that replaced the need for me to go out there and buy a battery cover
Even though I picked up the Otterbox case, I still grabbed this, its only $6 bucks. A small price to pay for a "sexier" battery cover!
Good find!

I read somewhere back in the iPhone 3g days of using brasso, but I'd give it a Google. Maybe some turtle wax? Haha. I know they make a scratch filler for glasses, I'd look into that.

I don't know if it's a good idea to be using chemicals on the Digitizer. Best to use a screen protector or learn to live with it I'd say.
I use a liquid screen protector. Doesn't really fill in scratches well but it gives you peace of mind.
Don't use a polish on the phone, you'll just scratch it more.

Hmm. Sounds interesting. I have the commuter case from otter box (wanted the defender). The screen protector was too difficult. Even with the hard card. Oh well. thank you guys

That was always my thought on scratch removal tricks or products for smartphone screens. I've never tried it (usually use a screen protector), but it seems like something that would do as much harm as good.

Yep !
that photo was taken under the sunlight, so its a Little bit exaggerate ??????????????
THe back looks artistic, nice, however I can't understand the screen protector.
If someone sprinkled sand over my screen, I'd want to clean it off so that I can see the screen properly..
Pretty unique, I'll say that. I've never seen anything similar.
Very artsy...
I'm sure there's a customer base for that sort of stuff.
Did you design those 2 items yourself?
Not my taste, but everyone has their own likes and dislikes, so from that point of view, and looking at the design and the workmanship that went into that cover, I'll give it two thumbs up
Enjoy your new S4 look, as I know you are by the excitement exhibited in your post and pictures :good:
I dont Know about you guys. But Im on Team Otter Box.
I use the Commuter Series. Just the rubber glove (no pun intended) and the outer shell. Its never done me wrong.
As for all those flashy type cases....

So I saw the dot case in store on the display model, which we have all probably seen, However which the security device on the back side of the display models I was unable to notice this (see pictures) and I did not notice it in any of the reviews.
I really like the concept of the minimal 8bit lock screen which the dot case and further more the option to answer and make calls without opening is a great plus.
That said it's a shame I won't be using the case now that I have it. The lid does not close flush on the back when open which means the right hand must simple hold the phone and case preventing the right thumb from being able to be used to type / navigate on the screen. And if you were to not hold the lid flush against the back your left and can not maintain a firm grip on the phone because the lid is a tpu material which renders it a bit slippery.
This disappoints me because I really like the features it add.

you dont think it will soften up over time?
This has been mentioned in the Dot View review thread, Others have said it is nearly impossible to type with the cover folded back unless you are really pushing on it.
The case itself does not appear to provide much, if any protection to the back and sides. The Dot View look is cool but with the lack of protection and the flip cover not laying flat, I passed.

Same here after playing with it in store. More of a "cheap gimmick" case imo. Looks cool at night to show off to Ur friends but for any protection, day to day use, and the dot dirt it leaves on screen. Obviously not much thought went into this case outside of the "gimmicks."
Maybe if a soft see through cloth was on the inside of the lid so no dot dirt goes on device, lid actually was flexible to bend back and stay there, feel secure when closed, and had more protection then a cheap $5 knock off case, it would be well worth the $30 maybe $40 tops. Watch a cheap Chinese knock off becomes available on eBay in a few months with all these improvements and half the price, lol!

Lol, not much thought went into this case???? Ok. I think a lot of thought went into this case, and I think they did a excellent job on it! The case, is meant to use while on the go. Like driving, and at work. Hence the reason for the features it carries. It's not meant to text with it. Lol. Just saying. Everyone has their opinions though.

Not flaming, serious question.... Are you saying that you remove your case when texting or otherwise using your phone?
Imo a if your a case type of person wouldn't u want a case to leave on at all times?
I even like the display when the lid is on, in fact once we have write on the /system I fully intend on making it an optional lock screen when no security it being used.

Not a problem. I figured I'd either get some people prepared for what to expect or at least save some people a few bucks from buying something they will end up not using cause as of right now I have yet to see any in store and had I had the opportunity to play with it before hand I would not have bought it.
Having said all that if someone still wants it pm me and I'l send you mine,
