So from what I hear the Sensation and the MyTouch 4G Slide are pretty much the same as far as hardware is concerned; I'm fairly positive the MT4GS has a slightly newer H-Boot, but now that we have root and S-OFF, are there any devs out there that could try porting a Sensation ROM over to the MyTouch 4G Slide? We use CWM recovery 4.0.0.9 if that helps anyone.
We're all over there just waiting for CM or someone to hook us up with something and a lot of us have pledged $$$ to someone who can help us out. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
+1 totally agree. There are some requests for mods and the mytouch 4g forum is silent

Hey everyone. It's time for me to upgrade my phone since mine recently got stolen...i had a MyTouch 3g rooted and i had it for a while...
so the thing is, i can get MyTouch 4G from Tmobile at a discount upgrade in 2 weeks, but i am wondering if i should do this, or just wait.
I desperatelly need a phone right now haha...i never realized how much i depended on it. I am planning on running the CM7 on the MyTouch 4G if i get that, and it looks great so far. But one of my friends suggested to wait for the dual-core processor phones coming soon...
i just dont want to get the MyTouch 4G and then a month after they come out with some epic new technology (even though this always happens..u cant stop technology advancement).
and suggestions? perhaps from people who have the phone?
Thanks!
I have the MT4G rooted running CM7. It's fast as hell. You will be impressed coming from a MT3G. Sure, dual-cores are on the horizon but the HTC dual core is rumored to be out in May. (HTC Pyramid) Plenty of time to save up if you need the latest & greatest (Which I plan on doing).

Anyone think the HTC pyramid will be dubbed as a mytouch phone?
sent from HTC glacier running CM7 and overclocked to 1.5ghz
who knows...im gonna get one reguardless haha
I hope it doesn't look as bad as the mytouch. I love this phone but the back is just horrible.
And hope it looks something like the hd7 or evo at least.

I hope it doesn't. Not that I have anything against the mytouch at all, but I just think it would be good to market it as a different line of product.
Edit: If it has a ffc, I'll def be getting it as well!

I hope it has the form factor of Thunderbolt or Desire HD. The MT4G is a great phone, but I've never been too keen on the aesthetics.

I'm thinking the "doubleshot" that was rumored the other day is going to be a new mytouch. maybe a mytouch slide since the first was espresso..think "I'll have a double shot of espresso" Some say the doubleshot is going to have dual screens.. others think it's because it's dual processor. I read also that the doubleshot is the pyramid just renamed... I kinda think though it will be the next mytouch slide.
Ill def be getting one for sure, I have 4.3" screen envy

Maybe the Pyramid will be a slate and the Doubleshot will be a slider? Makes sense that the Doubleshot will be a successor to the espresso.
It probably wont be called mytouch given all the advertisements tmobile has been doing for the MT4G

yeah but now I have noticed those ads are now pushing the Samsung 4g. Before it came out they had the commercials stating the mt4g was the fastest phone.. now they pretty much have those same commercials but for the Samsung 4g.. in the marketing scheme of things the peak of the mt4g marketing is over.. now we will see tmo pushing the samsung more and possibly the gslate
Far as this topic goes they won't call it new myTouch as normally myTouch is heavily TMobile branded device. If you know about project Emerald you would understand what I am talking about and where they are coming from. This is just for them to upgrade the base by mass for long term usage on hardware/software platform. When you have device that is heavily depends on the brand it sticks for sometime. Will TMo have new device? Sure they will will HTC be still top dominate? Sure they will be but they won't be TMobile branded directly.

I can't help but wonder if the GPS has been fixed. I know the Galaxy S 4G is still running RFS, but would be interested to know about the current state of the GPS.
i really hope they just let htc design the look. they always have to make their phones ugly. i feel like they designed it for kids.
Yes, I love the mytouch but hate the fact that it looks like ****. The front looks ok, but the back is just ****ing horrible. HTC does know how to make really nice phones, I love the way the nexus one looks. The speaker grill is ****ing ugly as **** as well. Ugh

I do believe that the double shot will be the new mytouch but in slider form. 1st was Mytouch, then Mytouch Slide, then MT4G, So it seems like every 6 months or so there will be a new mytouch, keyboard and non keyboard version.
Just my thoughts,
I actually like the design of the Mytouch
it doesn't look like any other phone on the market right now that i can think of
i am hoping that it might not be a slider form because that doesn't sound like something major to really announce.
Hopefully it is something better. And is it sure that the pyramid is an Android device? Is there any chance it could be a Windows device or is it confirmed to be Android?
@carmen:
At this point, only rumors exist about the Pyramid. One of those rumors is that it will be running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The phone is expected to be publicly announced at this year's CTIA, scheduled to take place in about a week.
While I like the design of MT4G (I like it, but don't LOVE it), it lacks the upscale/professional form factor of the Evo/Thunderbolt/Inspire 4G/Desire HD. If the Pyramid will have that form factor, I am a first day buyer.
could u guys help me choose? i have the g2x right now. but got bored of it. should i do it? could u guys tell me the pros and cons?
pros: Has sense which I like
Has a better camera
has a keyboard(depends on you)
Cons:
G2x display is better
G2x feels snappier
and not alot of dev for the slide
Ohh not bashing the mytouch but I really don't like the thickness. If I remember correct, isn't it only 3.7 inch screen? I need a minimum of 5 inch screen in craving for a note

Sorry if this isn't help but!!! there are about 4-5 threads with some descent talk about the 4g Slide. I personally say, look on craigslist and see which is selling for more, and then make your decision.

I had the 3g slide for a few years. Over that time I used the slide out KB only a couple times. Just get the straight Mytouch 4g.
The slide is okay I had one for a day had dust under the screen out of the box its basically a sensation with a keyboard

My Touch 4G Slide vs. G2x
I purchased one for my wife. I'm guessing that you will want to Hack this phone if you get it?
The reason I don't like that idea is that it is much more difficult to install a custom recovery. There are many more steps to take to flash a ROM. I read through a tutorial on the My Touch 4G. When you compare how much work it takes to do the same thing on the G2x, the G2x wins hands down.
Have you tried the Eagles Blood AOSP ICS ROM for the G2x? I really like the ROM! Check it out if you have not yet.
If it's the slideout keyboard that you really want, then go for it. It's a great phone. I think the G2x is a better performer though.

If you're fixed on a HTC/Sense device, get one depending on your price ranged.
Cheap: Sensation
In between: Amaze
Cutting edge: One S

The MyTouch is good if you want something out of the box to just text and call. Not much in the way of performance or customizing out there. G2x blows it out of the water for most things. My sister has a MyTouch and it's meh. It's also huge.
I have a g2x and I got the MyTouch 4g Slide for my wife. She loves it and I've used it periodically. But the thing is that she has what I consider an irrational hatred of on-screen keyboards. In reality, the physical keyboard is the main reason to get this. Aside from the keyboard it is just an HTC Sensation with a slightly smaller screen. If you are fine with the on-screen keyboard you are better off getting something like a Galaxy Note, Galaxy S3 or HTC One S.
Thinking about moving from mytouch 4g to Sensation - very happy with mytouch but mytouch ICS roms don't have good camcorder resolution and I need that - thus I can't really play with ICS ROMs much ... so ...
Anyone familiar with this phone have anything to say against moving to the Sensation or are there any problems with this phone I should be wary of? - tks!

Did it, it's worth it. Dual core makes games that lag on mt4g fly on sensation. I will say that mt4g was a solid phone (my wife has it and let's just say she's not careful, still works, no scratches) but development is still very strong on sensation.. sense 4.1 is nice!

Definitely worth the upgrade.. and you could install a JB ROM which works well too
