Switching from MT4G to Vibrant 4G?

Anyone making the switch over? I'm definitely thinking about doing it!! Might just sell my baby for that new baby!

Samsung = Fail no matter how many times they remake a phone

I might do it... If I can find someone to trade without any cash for a MyTouch...
But I don't know, it's the same thing except with 2.2 and a FFC.
I really want that screen though.

Yeah, but a WAY better screen that you could notice!!! And I like the physical appearance on it more then the MT4G.

I think you should wait for THIS instead

+1 on that haven't you guys noticed that Samsung is the worst when dealing with support lol. If your gonna get a new phone might as well wait for some dual cores to come out.

let's see...
1. SamSux has screwed me once already with the Behold2.
2. They have shrunk the internal storage from 16GB to 1GB (Vibrant to Vibrant4G).
3. yeah their screen is bigger and looks better indoors and on cloudy days, but I live in Texas as a Trucker and we have many more Sunny days than cloudy.
4. MT4G = 756MB RAM, Vibrant/Vibrant 4G = 512MB RAM.
in short not just NO!!! but OH HELL NO!!! I don't care if SamSux but out a triple-core 5GHz processor... Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I don't do well when I am the cause of my own shame.
Edit : where I got my specs for it http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_4g-3719.php

Oh hell no. With the specs you just posted, hell no. I like the mytouch even more now. Lol

please do, so we can all ROFL at you for down grading

No more Samsung for me. Ever.
I will, however, be the first in line for the HTC Pyramid (or whatever the final product will be called).

I also would like to laugh at you for downgrading so please switch
Mytouch 4g / CM7 / Minimalist Theme

I once liked Samsung
I had a vibrant and i loved it when it came out, then as half a year passed i still didn't have 2.2 froyo, it was just ridiculous even phones like the lg optimus had 2.2, if touchwiz was delaying the release of 2.2 get rid of it, then the nexus s came out and it was running 2.3, which pissed me off even more to have a phone that is considered top of the line running outdated software. so i got rid of the vibrant, got a mytouch 4g rooted it , installed CM7 nightly build (2.3) and i get updates daily, i will never go back to samsung for anything electronic.Never.

Why would anyone want to trade what I feel is a far superior phone for something they will have nothing but problems with. The MyTouch 4G superior in every way besides the screen display. The screen IMO isn't that much better them the MyTouch 4G. I happen to have one of the good screens.
Nexus One & MyTouch 4G
Vinny
Can not put my Nexus One down.

The Vibrant 4G is just a marketing ploy for people with Vibrants with 2.2 (which it just got) to switch over to 2.3, instead of just updating the software. Don't get me wrong, the Galaxy S is a great phone. Samsung just wants to make money while not caring about the consumer.

I wouldn't do it ....I would just wait for something better like a dual core phone ......I had the vibrant before my mt4g and yeah screen was good but so many problems with lag and updates for it ......I'm super happy with my mt4g I will upgrade as soon as something better comes out but foe now mt4g is the best out there for now ......

for me software is not important, it's the hardware that attracts me as i flash custom roms all the time. the vibrant does have a good development community so if software is not an issue then i say go for it, however, i suggest you just wait because the galaxy s2 will be announced 2 mondays from now and you can be sure that bad boy is coming to t-mobile. or you can wait for the htc inspire...either way my next phone will definitely be a dual core.

A 2011 smartphone with no camera LED? What a joke.

Software is very important. Go read Engadgets review of the Optimus 2X. Best hardware on any phone out there but horrible software that can cripple the phone. Samsung's software is horrible and crippled the Vibrant.
Samsung sucks, they screwed up the behold 2 which was great hardware. They screwed up the Vibrant which was great hardware. The Vibrant 4G will suck. The only phone they make that is good is the Nexus S because its stock google software.

If you upgrade or get a good deal then I guess it's ok. But if you purchase this phone at full retail for 650 buck... you're a moron.

What is the best darn phone? Size! Mods! Bragging Rights? I got my azz beat!

Iphone is old and boring. I have a dell streak right now per screen size but specs just seam to be out dated. My Father just whipped my azz with his Thunderbolt but come on that cant be the best out right now? I want the best of the best without sacrifice! Im tired of hearing well it depends on whats most important to you. I mean its 2011 everything is most important to me and I want it all without sacrificing anything plus having nothing but the best! I want something that will smash the Thunderbolts face in the dirt. And please do not say Atrix because I want something that isnt going to take forever to mod or be darn near impossible to.

I mean as of RIGHT NOW I think the Thunderbolt is the best (largely due to LTE), but I may also be biased. Give it a couple months

I got the inspire 4g (desire HD, ace, whatever else it's called) its rooted, flashed with cm nightly build 57 and lord modz latest kernel. 3200 average on the quadrant score and no game(app or emulator) has slowed me down yet. Can oc to almost 2ghz CPU. Im comfortable with it.

samsung galaxy s2

Thunderbolt I can get 1.9ghz easily with 4g LTE my phone is faster than my home internet getting up to 17 mb

If you want the best of the best, you should surely be looking at some dualcores like Samsung Galaxy S2 (soon), or the LG Optimus 2x (G2X or whatever..)
Depending on your area, it might we worth checking out the Motorola Bionic when it comes out

Agree with Galaxy S2, the G2X is the T-mobile name for Optimus 3d, it's not the Optimus 2x.
But the G2x (3d) has only 512mb ram, other than that it's excellent. Galaxy S2 has a decent in graphics, but amazing in normal cpu power, it should be the best 3rd generation (high powered) android phone.

Thunderbolt seams to be smoking everything atm but I am interested to see what comes out!

I was wondering if anyone knew of the latest or best phone that has the greatest ROM rooting following at the moment greater than the Galaxy Nexus?
I have a Galaxy Nexus right now and its great but I am just bored with it. I would like to upgrade. The only problem is that I use [GNEX TOOLKIT V11.1.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, Recovery, Flash + MORE [SPRINT] which is the best tool around.
I was wondering if there are tools like this or better for other newer phones that I may upgrade to or should I just stay with my Nexus for while?

LG Thrill or Samsung Infuse

I have a at&t upgrade coming up soon and was wondering wether I should get a Samsung Infuse 4g or a LG Thrill 3D. Any opinions would be great.

infuse is single core and Thrill is dual core and has 3D,3D recording,better GPU..so my opinion go for thrill 3d

I picked up a Thrill today...I own and use an Infuse...
I will give you my opinion/comparison Monday
So far...the lag on the thrill is pretty insane, but it was bad on the infuse stock as well. The infuse isn't stock anymore so that isn't a really fair comparison.

i dunno about the thrill but on Optimus 3D P920 the stock rom is as smooth as a custom rom in my old galaxy S! no lag at all.!

I'm on the hunt for a worthy successor to my tilt2, and before I take the plunge I'd really like hear your reviews on these two phones!
Please don't forget to post back after you try them both out.
With my ATT- TIlt2 I've been spoiled by windows mobile OS and the ability to sync with my work email - outlook(exchange server), for emails, calendar (meetings), and all contacts in my outlook / exchange server.
So as a second item I hope to find out if either of them are capable of doing the same some way.
One alternative would be to wait for the HTC Titan which has a windows OS, but I don't know if ATT will carry it.
edit: atleast overall on paper the infuse looks to be a better overall package based on this site/comparison:
http://geekaphone.com/compare/LG-Thrill-4G-vs-Samsung-Infuse-4G
The only item is weather or not the dual core in the thrill really even makes a "usable" difference, or if the faster clock in the infuse is equivalent.
But I certainly prefer to hear from 00mred00 from his hands-on comparison.
edit: oh and my titl2 has been somewhat laggy at times with touch flo, etc, so I'd be very eager to have a phone which is NOT laggy for a change... !!
Thanks for any insight!!!

I was just thinking I should put something together for you guys
Overall I like the thrill better...I will put together a full review soon but right now I am stuck at work
In the meantime....if there is any head to head specifics you guys want input on...let me know

SAme as me. I love the Infuse more than The Thrill. run smoother. Gingerbread coming sooner, screen better, no lagging, much lighter, unlock within second (can't find the way to unlock the Thrill after couple days of searching). I'll return this and get the Samsung SII when it's out.
The Thrills have 3D technology, but for me it's useless for now. It's amaze me for 2 mins after couple videos and that's it.

Mind you guy's the Thrill is still NEW and the Infuse isn't so you can go about rooting the Infuse and OC etc. Once the Thrill get's to that point it will be a totally different Experience. I have owned a G2 and still own a MyTouch 4G and rooting with OC made a TON of Difference in how they act.

Thrill al kardes

picked up an infuse and thrill in the store, the infuse seems a little bit more laggy, but it was a floor model, and had all the bloat ware and no modifications.
I had some difficulty typing with the infuse (fat finger) which might have been partially the lag, but I'd probably get used to it. My thumb typing with the full qwerty on the tilt2 was much easier, but I've been doing it for years. The thrill and another HTC phone seemed more positive in hitting the right letters, either due to key spacing or finger detection on the screen. There may be options to modify the keyboard layout in the software anyway.
They could not confirm a launch date for the SGS2, they said the Iphone5 was about a month away. I'll probably wait until mid October to put a few more devices in hand.

The Nexus S 4G (which wasn't really different), so I did do a bit of keyboard-in-mouth, for a minute there I did forget the Nexus S came out on T-Mobile first. Tired.

I came from the Nexus One, bought the G2x off-contract, specically to be able to pick up the Nexus Prime at a discount.
I just hope the nexus prime won't disappoint. Rumors on specs are mixed. The qualcomm chips in the Tmo SG2 and Amaze are meh. Also 5mp camera is meh.... other specs say it'll have the Exynos chipset and 8mp cam. Some say Verizon will get it first others say T-Mobile. Verizon has the Droid Prime with similar specs already and aren't ones to keep it clean with Android.
Either way, if the specs are worthwhile over the G2x, I'll grab it.
Best solution for me personally would be Verizon with sweet specs as my old work blackberry needs upgraded and I set up our new exchange to work properly so my company is allowing Android sets now... meaning I can kill my $70 personal T-Mobile line, sell my G2x and profit.
LG G2x - 2.3.5 MIUI
Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver

I honestly don't think it's that much of an upgrade of our G2x's. Our phone is still up to par with alot of the phones out there now.. Once we get ICS on this thing, we should be fine.

Will it work on at&t?

Yeah. I think it'll get more development support and the devs won't have to worry about nvidia giving up the source codes.

The Prime looks nice but I plan on holding onto my G2x until the phone hits at least the one year mark if not more to see what's coming next spring and summer. Quad core phones anyone?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

I know everyone wants the latest and greatest, but sometimes it's a bit overkill. Unless you have a good job with 500+ bucks to throw I don't see why we should be running to get the Prime when you already have a Tegra 2 Dual core device. Nothing can even tough this device yet.
It'd be hard for me to dump my dual core device for another dual core. At this point might as well wait for whatever the next gen quads come out next year. And once that happens, I don't even know what we'd do with a quad core lol.

Well... We'd buy more batteries, of course.

Lol, I seriously think they should just take a break on the progression of processors, screens, GPU's, etc. and use that time and man power in advancing the technology of battery's... That's literally the only Achilles heel that even the best smartphone's have these days.
At this point, I'd rather have the creation of a 5,000 mAH battery with out changing it's size than a quad core processor.

Agreed ten fold. I'm waiting til the Nexus Double Prime before I plan to upgrade. This phone is doing just fine, and has a very nice set of developers working on it for us.
If they did make quad core phones, I bet the battery life would be at least 20% worse than now. When I'm not even getting super amazing battery life to begin with, it might be a problem.

Yeah, main difference between the two will be updates. Something the G2X will probably never officially see. After the half ass 2.3 update we got I'm pretty much over it.
....

I really don't see the point of quad core phones; unless Google does something unbelievable with Jelly Bean that needs an insane amount of processing, nothing a smartphone does needs that much. Hell, dual core isn't even that necessary unless you run a lot of 3D stuff.
There is such a thing as overkill people. I'd like to see phone manufactorers declare the smartphone as it exists now finished and start working on some new innovations that would make better hardware necessary. 3D screen ala Nintendo 3DS with FFC capable of eye-tracking to orient the 3D so you see it at any angle?

While I agree that the G2x can hold its own, I do miss owning a nexus device. My friend still has his Nexus One and running official software we can only get via custom roms.
My reasoning to grabbing the Nexus Prime IF if launches on Verizon is so my work can pay for it. Unfortunately I heard Verizon is launching the Galaxy Prime.... which is similar but not the nexus prime backed by Google.
Well just have to wait until Tuesday. All the rumors running around its hard to make any reasonable decision.
If Verizon gets gimped on Google support then I'll keep my G2x for a long while.
G2x - Latest MIUI w Faux Kernel
Transformer - Latest Revolver w OC/UV Kernel
www.MiiWiiChat.com - Wii Chat
www.SnapSiteAdmins.com - Web Development

Agreed. My work is on sprint and I am waiting to see if it launches on sprint. If it does, I'll pick it up. If not, either sii or stay on g2x. It looks to me that the prime is going to launch on everyone but sprint.

Infuse 4g or Lg optimus 2x? which to buy?

The title says it all.
Infuse has its own plus points (S-AMOLED, better battery backup)
while optimus 2x has full CM7 support, 1080p hd recording, dual core etc.
so.....what say you?

Post in that really big comparison thread.

do you want better specs or a better screen?

I'd pick Samsung over LG any day. Esp with the screen in Captivate and Infuse, I am unable to go to any other phone

well....since you put it that way, lg all the way!

LG Junk is junk.
Infuse w/ MIUI > LG w/ CM7.

I had the LG g2x and it was the worst phone I ever owned hands down. Had horrible LCD backlight bleed, went through 3 replacements and they all had it.

Depends, how often are you gonna record videos? How much gaming do you do? (I'm not talkin Angry Birds here, I mean games that will use the dual cores)
If you do either one of these on a daily basis go for LG, BUT in all reality, 720p video is still pretty damn good, my M11x laptop is 720p and still looks crystal clear
Now, how many times are you going to use your screen?? Haha ya...Infuse wins that one. The screen is the main selling point of the Infuse, and trust me, I was sold after first look.
We've got CM7, not fully supported, but it's here and once official GB gets here, who knows what will happen.

Galaxy s 2. Or galaxy nexus.
Notice motorola and lg, both switched to omap4 on there new phones. The Tegra2 sux.
The infuse while great is old news, three gs2 is super fast and threw galaxy nexus had an even bigger better screen. But its not unmanageable. The screen had a different aspect ratio making it 1mm narrower than the infuse while being about 5mm taller.

Aren't the two on different carriers?

i worked for tmobile when we brought out the g2x. i love the specs and almost stock android
but the phone had tons of problems, random reboots, and tons and tons of other issues. (which is why we stopped getting stock for a month or so)
although we never officially admitted it. so if your buying a used one i would say def not, a new or recent batch, should be okay

which reminds me, tell your lady friends to never have naked or semi naked pics on their phone, if u show a cell phone rep there ur phone for w/e reason, they will go through them , and or show them to other people, and or post them on the internet
lol
it was really frustrating, people wiht g2x would come in with tons oif problems like random reboots, unresponsiveness, light bleeding, and we were told to pretend like nothing was wrong and tell them it wasnt happening to most people lol . (then again it wasnt a coprorate tmobile)

Well i do film videos of hd quality fairly often, and game ever-so-intermittently.
The main issue here is whether or not the infuse is "future proofed".
Rumours suggest that the o2x might be getting ICS (via CM9) at the dawn of 2012 whilst the infuse having no official cm7 support might be left behind.
As for the 02x, i'll be purchasing a brand new one, will it still suffer the backlight bleeding, random reboots etc etc? heard they were fixed with the latest 2.3.4 update, but correct me if i'm wrong.
And in my budget, these 2 are the only real options.

I almost got that LG, ended up going to AT&T instead of Tmobile though (cuz Tmobile lied to me) anyway the infuse is what I ended up having to settle for due to choosing AT&T ...dude I thought I wanted the LG more, I was wrong! I love the infuse. Go Sammy. Nexus if you could, but if not you'll be happy with the infuse for awhile still.
Or you can wait for his big brother the "note" to make it through immigration

my favorite thing about Samsung is theirs screens (which doesnt surprise me because of their tv screen quality)
the only bad thing about samsung/att is that they make os updates take much longer to get to your phone. (the infuse still doesnt have gb, and a new os is dropping already)
