MyTouch 4G Quadrant score

I got my hands on a MyTouch 4G today and quickly installed Quadrant to see what kind of score it would produce.
I got screen shots but don't have permission to post pics or links...

put it up on your facebook? or flicka?

I just want to know for sure if it's dual core or not. Nobody seems to know.

well, I have a screen shot of the CPU info too
try this
hxxp://tinypic.com/r/2wc34sy/7
hxxp://tinypic.com/r/15wce9k/7
same CPU as the G2, just clocked higher

Quadrant score of 1908
CPU: ARMv7 rev1 (v7l) @ 1024 MHz
Cores: 1
and by the way, I took these screen shots after installing Shoot Me, and using VISIONary to temp root the phone. VISIONary is amazing! it gave me temporary root in seconds.

what were your general impressions of the phone? Does it appear to have a super-lcd screen?

http://www.intomobile.com/2010/10/22/mytouch-4g-benchmark/

the phone was quick and responsive. not sure about the screen, but it looked very similar to the G2 screen in my opinion, if that helps. the video calling with Qik worked better on WiFi than on 3G or HSPA (which would be expected), but I wouldn't say it was crystal clear. Overall it was nice and solid, and not as "plastic" feeling as previous MyTouch's

t-mobile employees got their hands on them last week when they did sort of a essay entry thing on why they should get the device, the winners were awarded with the device... It should be released for pre order within the next 2 weeks or so...

We already know from tmobile it is not the same processor, You must not be very smart because the G2 has a qualcomm MSM7230 and the mytouch has a MSM8255
Oh and no need to lie to look cool, you never got your hands on one!!!

Leaked ROM above from the myTouch4G says otherwise. Absolutely no need to be condescending, and screenies look legit. Perhaps you're not very smart, acting like a jerk based on rumors and no facts?

These quadrant scores prove that it is shipping with 2.2

But what about the official statement from TMO?
"Designed by HTC exclusively for T-Mobile, the new myTouch features a brilliant 3.8-inch WVGA touch-screen display with virtual keyboard and Swype® for easy text input. The thin and sleek device also comes with a blazing fast second-generation Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 1GHz MSM8255 processor optimized for speed and graphic performance, a 5-megapixel camera, a preinstalled 8 GB microSD memory card, and an integrated media player that brings together favorite music, video and internet radio under one set of controls."

Tmo could post it wrong though.

It did ship with 2.2 and tethering which the G2 lacked. This phone rocks. I've been using it as my dd for a week now and I have to admit that I'm very satisfied.

Oh... this is kililng me! Someone (either T-mobile or devs) need to step up and say "Ok, we admit it, we made a mistake. This phone has MSM XXXX processor!
With that said...
I am pretty much set on this device (in black!) but I'm waiting to play with it in the store and getting rock-solid info on specs and ease of real root. I hate to say it but I am also considering HD2 with Android due to it's 4.3" screen and T-mobile not getting a real 4.3" screen Android phone until next year. Decisions, decisions...

Well does it matter? And which one is everyone hoping for. the 8XXX or the 7XXX? If they are both GHZ, does it matter?

As far as Ghz go... Snapdragon is 1Ghz proc and G2 runs circles around it with 800Mhz. So yes, it does matter which generation proc we get.
Then again, it's all about how phone feels in real life, that's the main reason I want to wait. I went to the store to check out HD2 when it was released. Oh boy was it a beast on paper. Oh boy what a dissapointment in real life.
Still, can't wait for MT4G

Snapdragon is 8XXX right?

They are all snapdragons, just different generation/architectures of the cpu and different configurations of cpu/gpu. I'm not really good with all that naming/code bs but from what I know, newer Snapdragons (the ones in G2 and MT4G) are way faster then older ones (N1, Evo, Incredible, etc) at the same clock speed. Think Intel Celeron and Pentium4 difference. But it's not all about speed neither. There's more to it, just check out the link.

But, after seeing wirefly's video of MT4G, I don't even care anymore. Comes next week, I'll be picking mine up. In black.

MT4G>Sensation 4G

Can someone elaborate having those two phones - is the switch worthwhile? I'm very happy with MT4G but am I missing a lot not having sensation 4g?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Once the sensation gets root, there won't be any competition between the two devices. Everything about the Sensation 4G is an upgrade from the Mytouch 4g. 3.8 inch tft-lcd 480x800 resolution screen vs 4.3 inch 540x960 qhd Super LCD resolution screen.
Mytouch version of 2.1 Sense vs HTC Sense 3.0
Single Core 1ghz processor vs Dual Core 1.2 ghz processor
5 mp single led flash camera vs 8mp dual led flash camera
Not much more to say.

My rooted MT4G blows away the Sensation in performance. Once we get the bootloader unlocked, it will be a different story. This phone us a monster waiting to be woke up! Plus its anupgade to alot of things like Harris above^^ said!

Same here. I love running Sense3.0 on MT4G, but can't wait for the Sensation to be opened up. Plus, it's just such a slick looking phone, I can't put it down!

I've had sense 3.0 on MT4G and slick as it was, CM7 is smoother, faster. Both phones have the same RAM, wonder if the dual core makes all the difference in speed/performance. Sadly, only 1G internal memory on Sensation, vs 4G on MT4G.

HTC has confirmed this numerous times. Once the asynchronous core technology is unlocked you wonder why the question in the OP was ever asked

htc mytouch is solid phone and I still have mine Love the mytouch 4g. Sense 3.0 on it is very smooth and runs excellent.
Only differences I personally see or notice is the size and quality of the screen on the htc sensation. The speed of the dual core isn't much noticeable to me compared with the mytouch. I like the solid feel and thickness of the mytouch compared to the sensation. Both phones are good, cant go wrong with either one. I would hold off and buy one cheap in a month or so, and hope the bootloader is unlocked for some development.

I have gone from one to the other and back a couple times over the last couple weeks. I can definitely tell that the Sensations screen is better. The MT4G is a little faster because of root and the ROM it is running. Sensation camera is definitely better also. I miss the trackball on the MT4G. Overall I like the Sensation more. The screen make a huge difference, you may not notice until you get used to the sensation screen then look back at the MT4G. Right now they are very close but like others have said, once Sensation gets root it wont be any contest.

The MT4G is ****ing fast on ASOP roms, like cyanogen. Before I got my Sensation, it was just damn, this phone won't ever slow down, overclocking options unto 1.8, 768megs of ram, FFC, and a great battery life. But the sensation even with sense is quick! Even though when I use my MT4G now it still feels faster, probably cause of asop roms, and disabling apps from running in the background.
I've loaded up the mytouch with the stock rom w/ s-off and my mom is using it, and it feels quick. I don't know, but the Mytouch if it had the same screen size, and looked a little better, I would have probably kept it.

Hmmmmm......who mentioned anythink about quadrant. Quadrant scores are irrelevant to me. I've owned a Vibrant and its was a piece of **** compared to MT4G. I guess its all about opinions, I'm glad you think the Sensation blows away your Vibrant, its not tough to do.

Nexus s is faster then this phone atm not gonna lie let's see with unlocked bootloader

Just wait until the sensation gets unlocked and custom kernels start coming. I believe the Sensation really has a 1.5ghz clock speed underclocked to 1.2. So once we get kenerels I'm sure we will see 1.8-1.9 maybe even 2ghz pretty quickly and throw a AOSP rom on to boot and then we will really see the potential of the sensation

[Q] Going to T-Mobile... G2X or Sensation???

Hi Guys... I have a bit of a predicament here. I will be switching to T-Mobile soon, and I need to figure out what phone to get! Basically it boils down to the Sensation or the G2X. Both of them now officially have Gingerbread, with the G2X being stock Android.
Originally I thought that the Sensation would be the sure choice due to it having 768mb of RAM instead of 512mb and because of the qHD screen.
BUT, as I've been researching more and more, I am seeing a lot of reports on how the Sensation screen isn't that great and can look washed out, and worse yet, I see a LOT of reports that the battery life is AWFUL.
I have tried to find more information on the G2X screen but other than it being LCD and 800x480. But I don't know if this is just me, but of the videos and images I've seen of the G2X, I almost have the impression that the contrast ratio and brightness of its screen is better than the Sensation. Has anybody compared them side by side? What do you think about this?
Two other things that make me lean in the direction of the G2X would be that the Sensation has only 1GB of internal storage and the G2X has 8gb, with both having microSD. And also I believe that the Tegra 2 GPU in the G2X is quite a bit better than the Adreno 220 in the Sensation.
So I am totally stuck now and can't make up my mind I'd love to hear input from you guys, especially if you've used both phones side by side (and if you've used gingerbread on the G2X even better!)

No thanks... I currently have a Galaxy S and am looking to upgrade to a dual core phone. And I've had too many issues with the GPS on my Mesmerize (which I rely on heavily). If we were talking about the Galaxy S II that would be different, but it isn't an option unless I want to spend a lot of money for an unlocked phone.

I was talking about the SGS4G not the II but i havent had an issue with the gps on this and if you compare all three of these phone, most people will tell you to get the 4G. And tmobile is getting the Hercules which is dual core. I believe ig should come out next month

IMO the Sensation hands down. The G2x does run a lot smoother than I had anticipated but the Sensation is made by a better company and I personally can't get over the look of the screen on the G2x. It looks so thick and plastic-y

I prefer the g2x. I had the GS4g it is reall slow compared to all the dual core ones coming out.
I do currently have the sensation though, I had a problem with the g2x replacement that was sent to me from t-mobile and decided to just sell it and buy one.
G2x is a lot faster and has stock which is awesome, but Sensation has better build quality/bigger screen.
G2X has way better support for games, the sensation is lagging behind, even though its packed with specs it can't really use it.
Sensation's camera is WAY better than the G2X.

I think the g2x screen is better, it has way better contrast. The sensation colors and clarity are sort of washed out.

help please

im torn between what phone should i choose. can you guys help out? its between the sensation or mytouch 4g slide. i really like the slide because of the camera apart from that the slide is very similar to the sensation other than the camera. what should i choose? i like the slide because of the better camera and a plus because of the keyboard (but i dont really mind the keyboard)

Slide has better battery life and a keyboard.

They're pretty comparable devices, and I'd say once custom ROMs are available they'll probably even out in terms of features and software so I'd go with whichever hardware you like better. That's what I did, so I went with the slide because of the camera/keyboard. As soon as this gets overclock and custom ROMs it's going to be unbeatable for a while.

Is the sensation's 1.2 GHz dual core processor a snapdragon?
I couldn't find any documentation that says it is.
I wouldn't consider a device that wasn't, it's the next step in processing ability on these devices.

Hey the HTC Sensation and MyTouch 4G Slide both have Snapdragon processors, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip). You can see there on the table that both of them have the same Snapdragon S3 MSM8260 dual-core processor.
In terms of hardware both of the phones are almost the same but the Sensation has a bigger screen (4.3 inches vs 3.7 in the MyTouch 4G Slide) and no keyboard.
So basically the decision you have to make is bigger screen + lighter phone (MyTouch 4G Slide is almost 40 grams heavier so it is quite noticeable) or smaller screen + physical keyboard. I personally love having a physical keyboard on my phone plus I have a tablet so I wasn't looking for a huge screen, personal preferences, both are great phones either way. Good luck

The Sensation and myTouch 4G Slide have the same guts. The difference is that the myTouch 4G Slide has a better camera and a keyboard. While the sensation has a bigger screen and its a bar phone. I personally went with the slide because of the keyboard i love qwerty phones.

Good to know, thanks. HTC was a bit vague on this. When I was looking for myself to make a purchase, the hardware keyboard was a necessity so the sensation didn't get looked at too closely.

I went with a slide after using them both. For me, the camera was the issue. I think ppl underestimate how good this camera is. HTC hypes it a lot but I don't hear users much. It's significantly better than the sensation camera. It's significantly better than the iPhone and any other Android camera (yes, better than the sgs2 camera).

Also the speaker is way better quality than the Sensation. I came from the G2x and can say I will never look back unless I am in desperate need of cash. This phone is surprisingly thin for having a keyboard and its pretty light weight. Most people who've held my phone didn't even know it has a keyboard.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA Premium App

I came from the Droid X and I am extremely happy with my choice so far. I specifically wanted a smaller phone size, because my fingers are not long, and the Droid X was annoyingly uncomfy to operate in 1 hand. So the Sensation was out for me because of the size plus I did want a phys keyboard...so my choice of MyTouch Slide 4G was a no brainer for me.
Just weigh what options matter most to you and go from there. As others have pointed out the inside of the 2 phones are almost identical...so ur decision imo is boiled down to size, phys keyboard, or screen type. Good luck!

Which smartphone shoudl I buy ?

Hello.
I'm searching for a phone right now.
I'm thinking about buying the G2x but I was wondering if you guys can show me something better ?
I want a fast smartphone, reliable, powerful ?
Budget is unlimited.
Thank you

G2X is a very good phone. But if you're willing to wait a couple of weeks for the Galaxy S 2 to come out you should get that.

Thanks for replying.
The Galaxy S2 will be like.. 4.5" for Tmobile and that's too big for me ;/ !
Like which is better: TMobile G2x, Htc Sensation or MyTOuch 4G Slide ?
I can also consier other phones from tmobile.
I really to buy this tonight !

I've read outstanding comments about the MyTouch 4G Slide. The camera is suppose to be the best there is on any phone. And the audio quality is suppose to be superior. But I myself don't like thick phones, which slide out keyboards make.
The Sensation is definitely better than the LG phone and looks and feels better...to me. But the SGS2 would be the best one to get. I thought for a long time that 4.3" is the biggest I would want to go in a phone. But I gave a Samsung Infuse a good try and found my new maximum size increased to 4.5". It was excellent. The SAMOLED+ and Samsung's thin phones are worth it. You would be glad to have an SGS2. The sound quality will be the best there is and the camera will probably rival the MyTouch 4G Slide. The battery life will be better too.

If you need a phone right now I would pick the Sensation. Mytouch 4G Slide if you really want the camera, but like MartyLK I don't like thick phones.

+1 for Samsung Galaxy S 2.
It might not have the CPU of G2x but it has more RAM and so multi-tasking would be pretty smooth.
Since you have an unlim budget and if you are willing for new models to come out, look for these specs.
1GHz+ processor. 1GB RAM. 4G. Preferably a dual core 1GHz and 1GB RAM.
3D phones have the cool factor. However, I personally don't think they are worth it.u
That's about it.

I would also go with Sensation!

Actually, if it worth it, I can wait for the Galaxy S II.
When is it being relased ?
But 4.5" is not too big ?

I would recommend SGSII as well.
Last time I heard, it has a 4.3" display.

It's out of question. The OP wants a good device. Not a cheap or budget device. Non of the Optimus phones(except Optimus 3D, Optimus Black and Optimus 2X... or rather the expensive models in Optimus series.. ) can run Flash.. as they are all ARMv6.

我觉着吧，htc g14蛮不错的~

I have as u can see LG 2x and device is great, my friend have SGS2 And i can tell u that multitasking browsing net loading apps is the same speed. But LG is so mych better in games(cuz of nVidia gpu) . On sgs2 display is much better and battery managment us also better. U should buy sensation only for looks and sensUI. Thats my opinion
