Finally a good phone :D (New user over from vibrant)

Hello everyone.I just picked up this gem today after 5 of the longest months with a cursed (Vibrant/galaxy S).SO glad to be back on HTC. Hope i made the right move but i think i did.Glad to be here guys

Welcome. I switched over from the G2 just 2 days ago also, and so far with CyanogenMod, I'm doing good. The battery isn't great, but with a few tweaks, I'll get it to be better.
How's it feel though, coming from a beautiful screen to the MyTouch?

I came from the Vibrant as well within the last week or so
The battery right now is worse than my Vibrant was, although my Vibrant was running custom firmware tweaked out the *** and my MT4G is toting stock so far.
I really like the phone...a lot

The screen is ok.I believe i got a good one.The fact that everything works makes up for the display change.Can you put a 32gb card in this?

Yup! Supports up to 32g.

Another convert coming over from a Vibrant. Although I will miss the screen of the Vibrant, I am loving having a phone that works. No more wonky gps, no more gallery lockups, no more wondering if Samsung will actually ever push 2.2 over.
Did have an issue with 4g reception, but switched to the newer sim that came with the phone and haven't had an issue since.
Have a good display (did my research and have seen the washed out ones to know the difference) and no creaky buttons or anything like that.
Luckily for me, as I was on my 5th vibrant T-mobile offered my a Mytouch4g at no cost. So my Vibrant is up on craigslist now!

The 16 GB Class 10 Wintec is still on NewEgg @ $29 + free shipping, just ordered one.

I came over from a Evo and the battery life is great compared to that! My New HD7 has the best battery life of any phone i had right now, but the MT4G is my favorite. Its the one I take to work with me.

Just came over from the Captivate. I will miss the screen, but the MTG4's screen is not bad (guess I have one of the good ones) and for every other aspect of the phone, like the man said, it just works. I am running this thing stock, and so far so good. Was really getting tired of having to tweak/mod things that should have been stock. Just my .02

maybe purchasing a mytouch 4g today at $250 new in box. Coming from a nexus one to vibrant and possibly the mytouch 4g.
Vibrant I'm liking it currently, did the gps hardware fix, currently unlocked & rooted. Very few custom roms out there currently for it. Screen is very solid, battery life is okay, had better life with my nexus one.
What should I expect from the mytouch 4g, still considering if I should make a switch over to tmobile or just unlock it for my local carrier. Mytouch 4g screen doesn't look too bad, vibrant was nice. I do like the home buttons on mytouch, and the trackpad unlock/wake. Vibrant I didnt care for using the power button to wake it all the time.
Any advice for rooting/unlocking the mytouch 4g? Which rom to use?

That's one of my favorite things about going from the MT3G to the new MT4G - I see no need to root it at the moment. Of course, I probably will like 6 months from now when I start to get bored with the phone, but this offers me everything I wanted stock that the MT3G didn't have that I had to root to get...plus it runs better than it ever could have on the older phone. Planning to stay stock for a while

Picked up the mytouch 4g brand new in box, I purchased it off craigslist. Seller was a tmobile rep who won it in a contest and it was never opened. Rooted & unlocked it to use on current carrier, still debating if I should make the switch to tmobile.
Rooting wasn't too bad, just had issue with pushing CWR using adb. Issue solved though, so its time to find a rom.
Initial thoughts of the mytouch 4g...
solid build, very nice!
screen is pretty good.....can't really compare it to the vibrant
trackpad is nice to use in Recovery mode
Screen is alittle small...prefer the vibrant size
Overall Im happy with the phone,
ROMS: I do like the stock rom and some apps, possibly just change the launcher and stick with that.
CM7 isnt too bad from what I have played with, not sure if I want it though.

I just got rid of my vibrant two days ago and got my mytouch....it is much much better...the build quality is insanely good and the screen is very very close to the vibrant but much sharper...battery life seems better and omfg cm7 on here is just so win.
MT4G + CM7

I also came from a g2 and I'm glad I did. This phone is awesome. Welcome!

I just got rid of my slide on wednesday my dad bought the 4g in plum for me and there is definitely a BIG difference so much faster and smoother and obviously BETTER its the best phone on the market right now, and I also have the mytouch 4g portable speakers and the flex protective in white and gray

You know, the more I use the MT4G, the more I like it.
It just makes me wonder how Samsung missed the boat on what should have been a class leading series of phones. Their blunder with the GPS (and now, if you have a look over at the Vibrant forum, it seems as it may have been hardware related after all) and their clueless software support. Maybe they were hoping their amazing (and it is amazing) screen would make up for it.
Anyway, my MT4G has been rock solid so far. My wife got hers a couple of days ago and she is also really liking it.
It's too bad that the MT4G marketing is aimed toward phone novices, kind of like a super phone for dummies. I avoided it because they make it seem more like a toy than the really great phone it is. Too bad, because it could have saved me a painful few months with the Vibrant.

been doing some searching for tmobile discounts...Able to my old university discount of 15% just need ID and email from what I was told.
Probably going to take step over to tmobile, although I do like my current carrier. Solid 3g service at work and for home its okay. Up to 3.2mbs is the highest I hit. Typically averaging around 2mbps.
As for the tmobile are there roaming agreements? Do I need to even worry about that, mainly travel around the midwest.
as for the plans itll either be the following:
1000min unlimited text/data @ $59 plus tax
or 500min " " " @51 plus tax.... only thing worried about is minutes to family members who currently have my local carrier. Guess Ill try the 500 for awhile and switch if needed. 4g service is suppose to be strong at home but reveiws of it at work arent the greatest.

Advice if you don't mind

I'm debating on gettin rid of my jailbroken iPhone 4 for a inspire.
Should I hold off on the inspire for something better coming out?
I enjoy my iPhone Alot and my battery life lol but I can't make my mind up.
User there is some dev support already for the inspire which is a huge plus for me, but I'm getting tired of the small size of the iPhone and it's limits to customizing.
What do you guys think?
Also I came from a rooted Aria and Captivate before I went to the iPhone

Hi, make sure get a dual core cpu on next acquisition. Apple or no apple to be fair. Android is fun.

this is definitely a great phone. you may want to hold off until a better htc phone comes out with either of the two: dual-core 1ghz or better, front facing camera. If the inspire had both of those, this would be the most beastly phone on the market. if you're okay without both of those, then the inspire is for you. sense is awesome - lots of custom roms with and without - all are quick too! i got used to the size of the phone quickly after getting it and i LOVE LOVE LOVE this phone now. hope you make the right choice for yourself

Coming from the POC Captivate, this phone is awesome!
I do wish it had a front camera though, but not sure when I'd use it...it's plenty speedy though in stock form, much faster than the Captivate.
Dual core would be nice, but I had the Atrix and it didn't seem faster. I think it's all about coding and what you want it to do.

A co-worker of mine is an iPhone to Android user now.. he is happy overall,but does complain about the battery..
I am stock and easily get 2 days of normal usage. Not sure how long the iPhone lasts compared to the Inspire, but I think you'll be happy with this phone. I too came from the Captivate, and am much happier with HTC. Gps is flawless, screen size is perfect for my man hands, build quality is great (except for the darn battery cover )
I say go into a corp ATT store and play with the Inspire for 15 min.. awesome phone IMO.

Stupid question I know but if I were to trade my iPhone for the inspire would I have to go to Att and ask for a 4g sim card?
And also would the data plan remain the same or is it different for "4g" devices?

If I'm not mistaking the sim card for a iPhone is a micro one so you will need to go get a new one and the plans I THINK are the same but you will just have to move to the smartphone plan not the iPhone plan

HTC has no plans for a upcoming phone for at&t. My inspire runs super fast and games and video streaming is beautiful. So a dual core is mainly for speed. Y need more speed if the HTC is super fast? And I would never use the front facing camera. I mean really. I got a Mac for that.

I'd say hold off and see the infuse4g. I'm leery about samsung after the craptivate fiasco but the infuse is getting great reviews from engadget (while they aren't perfect I do find them to be pretty good overall) and I dont know about you but the extra .2" of screen might actually make a big difference, I know the .3" of screen between captivate and inspire were super nice. I will tell you while the captivate had more metal parts the HTC feels better built (except that damn battery cover everyone keeps mentioning, really HTC, what were you thinking?!)
There's no wrong answer when you switch from iphone to android, it's like going from a mud pie to filet mignon, even if it's bad filet mignon it's better than what you had!

And may wanna see what to see if bootloader is locked

Well if you are ATT only I would either stay with the iphone 4 or get the inspire.
This dual core thing is not proven yet. I have not seen one phone that is dual core that is awesome. I am sure I and everyone else will want one in 6 months to a year but right now there is nothing impresive about them. Att only has one other dual core that I have read about coming and its an LG....No Thanks...

Just got done Playing with one at the store, the size would take getting used to.
Seemed sluggish here and there but it's a store phone..and the fact it didn't have any Internet connectivity sucked.
And the captivate next to it was running 2.2 what a pos haha.
Overall it seems really nice, well constructed, pretty smooth as far as animation went.
Now here's the hard part, I can easily find an Inspire on CL to trade my i4 for, but how much cash do I want?

The demo phone didn't have a SIM with a data connection? Ridiculous. They should've at least had it connected to wi-fi.
BTW, Best Buy has the Inspire for cheaper than AT&T. It is $79 there (w/ 2 year contract of course).

It was connected to wifi but kept telling me no connection.
I went to bestbuy afterwards and did notice the price difference but I didn't even waste my time asking anyone of them for help, whereas they complete idiots.
And every phone they had on display was a dummy, what's the deal with that?

[Q] Should I buy a TB out of contract?

I am really really sick of this Droid 2 that VZW replaced my Droid with. I'm sick of Moto services invading my phone and slowing it down. There's no true ASOP build. This phone sucks balls.
I was set on buying an Incredible 2 OoC b/c it was cheap at $440 and saving my upgrade till later, but where I'm moving to next week already has LTE towers.
Do I really want to wait 2 months using this laggy trash? And possibly end up getting a TB anyway because the other phones coming out suck.
Or do I want to get a TB and save my upgrade till later in the Q4 2011/Q1 2012 when NFC Ice Cream Sandwich phones come out.

Don't want a Charge, poor build material choices.
Don't want a Revolution. Bing...

Does it really matter? Not really... You just root and you can put whatever you want and however you want.
Motorola tends to lock their bootloaders and make it hard to do what you want.
Samsung stated that they'll never lock it that way(Not in those words, but given the sense that they will leave it open)
HTC has been locking down their devices, but not as tough as Motorola does.
So basically pick a device with the hardware you want, and make sure it's root and you can install custom roms/kernels.

The T-Bolt is a great phone, and it has excellent community support. I have absolutely no complaints about my phone (aside from the battery life).
That being said, the Galaxy S II that's coming out looks sexy as hell. It might be worth the wait to hold out for that. Honestly, it's totally up to you.
There was talk about tiered 4G plans, which is what made me opt for the early upgrade to the T-Bolt (hoping to be grandfathered in to unlimited 4G). I haven't heard much on that front, but it's still a possibility.

wait a few months
from everything i've ever read about samsung phones, their software support is absolutely horrible. slow updates, faulty gps etc. i've heard a ton of people complain about the issue, and it seems to be the case with all their phones... never had one, but that's the impression i get.
the thunderbolt is a decent phone, but all it really has over the droid x is 4g. the t-bolt screen might be a little better, but not much. in day to day use it's not faster, the battery isn't even close and the build quality of the DX is equal or better. if i were you i would pick up a DX on craigslist for $175 and save your upgrade for a few months. The dx has even more dev support than the T-bolt and it's the best phone I ever had.
bottom line is, if you really want 4g speeds right now, really really bad, then get the thunderbolt. if you can do without that for awhile i think you will be really happy with a DX, especially after using the Droid 2, and you'll spend less than half the money.
the above is just my .02.

Show me a HTC or Motorola phone with latest software on it
Not you fat Jesus

I bought mine off contract and am very happy I did it. Yes there are a few issues, but nothing a little root cant fix.
Though waiting a few months for a better phone won't hurt, the TB is a great choice.

I just have to say that this cracks me up every time I see you post it.

Once you get a taste of 4G, you will never want a phone that is 3G only. So if you are moving to 4G area and don't want to pay full retail, I suggest you get a used Tbolt from craigslist and use it until something comes along that you like better, then sell the Tbolt

i love my TB, i have it rooted with das bamf NTE 1.6.3 and its about the coolest thing since MP3s.. as with others, the battery life on this thing is fkin AWFUL!! i have the extended battery and i still dont feel like its enough, however i use my phone probably more than i should or more than others. either way the LTE network is retarded fast and i'd never want 3g.

First off I just want to say I owned a droid 2 and it wasn't that bad. I jumped to the thunderbolt just to lock in the 4g rate. The bigger screen is a nice plus but other than that is the same thing. I wasn't overly impressed as other owners of the droid x and 2 have stated is not that big of a jump.
Before I end let me just say other than software wise android phones are exactly where I want them. I don't need a dual core chip in my phone and 4g is. good enough for anything I would ever want to do with my phone. I'm sure most of you will disagree but that's just how I feel. Flame away!

I picked up a TB on craigslist for $350. The custom roms still seem a bit premature, however they should evolve over time. Nonetheless it's an amazing phone. If you have a desk job or spend a lot of time in your car, the battery life is not much of an issue. Just stay plugged in.

Got my TB off Craigslist for a fascinate trade plus 150$. I love it so far.. 4g is amazing..once you.have it you won't want to go back.
Roms are not bad. I'm waiting for a complete cm7 or sense 3.0 rom but other than that das bamf runs fantastic.
If you have the cash and want a great phone with a growing dev community, go for it.

Thank you for all the input.
It's funny the other 2 forums told me I'm a moron and this one says Buy a TB!!!
I use over 2GB of data a month so the 4G unlimited (Hopefully grandfathered for life) makes it very tempting since my upgrade isn't till mid July which is around the time the rumors of tiered data plans landing. I'm also not to optimistic about an actual new phone coming out then. Maybe the SGSII but I really hate the fact that it doesnt have a search button. It's a damn Google phone and I use the search button all the time, for GOOGLE, not Bing!
I didn't even think about craigslist. That might be a good option.
As for a cheap DX. No way. It basically is a D2 minus the keyboard. I like the keyboard, I can sacrifice it for a 4G newish phone but not for an X. and I hate the Blur invasion, and locked bootloader. My D2 has been running custom roms. They're just too laggy and buggy still. Fab, Kejar, and Rummy are awesome, but they all had DXs and the D2 ports were just not good. Most of it I blame on Blur still having to be in there. I've been running GB stock blur and custom and for the first time since my D1 ADW launcher gets kicked out of memory and has to reload when I hit home.... I hate it.

EBay is your friend. Lots of Tbolts available every day, including NIB models. Prices similar to Craigslist, depending where you are.

TMO didn't want my G2x ?

alright well now that i have both this and the sensation i figure i'd post this. i arranged with a tmo rep to exchange the my g2x for the sensation around 4 weeks ago. after 3 or so follow up calls from the rep the last time (after already having arranged an exchange) I was told that I would get the sensation rush delivered, free, and at no cost (nicest thing tmo has done for me in years ). BUT, I was also informed during that call that I would not have to return my g2x to them but would be able to keep it (swwweeeeetness!!!). Totally surprised me.
so the reason im posting this is to pose a question. Why would they not want my phone back when they are supposedly out of stock due to back order and also raised the price? mine has no screen bleed and is the best ive seen so far (ive had 5 total, this is the only one that doesnt have it). so would they actually be dropping the G2x or maybe changing something on it?
I don't think they would myself. its a good phone. actually its better than my sensation which is chilling off in the box due to locked bootloader and also the g2x has nvidia chip and all the games i want that the sensation won't play (at least not all of them) yet.
just seems weird that they wouldnt want the phone back, if not just to make up for revenue for giving me the phone free. i'm not complaining or anything, im very happy. it was a pain in the ass to return the phone so many times and deal with annoyed reps for a month. they messed up many times in a row including the previous phone i was supposed to receive before i hard heard of the g2x (SGS4G). anyways it just caught me off guard as sweet as it is.

You must not have read my part regarding this very same scenario. They did the same thing for me. I don't know how you purchased your G2X but I purchased mine at full retail so T mobile not only sent me a Sensation and let me keep my G2X, they also let me remain out of contact. T mobile rep told me there is nothing they can do with the G2X since LG won't take them back after 30 days.
Glad everything worked out for you and like you said, we just got to wait for HTC to unlock this sucker and see what it can really do. I have noticed that some games like Angry Birds and Home Run Battle 3D run smoother in the Sensation but other games like Fruit Slice run better on the G2X. I think its mainly sure to not being optimized for the 3rd gen Snapdragon and the higher resolution. I have found that most of my apps load faster and interact faster on the Sensation like Google Maps for instance. It loads almost twice as fast than it does on my G2X. I also have a hard time looking at the G2X after looking at the Sensation for a week. Now all words and icons look blurry as **** on the G2X which is something I never noticed before. Good luck.

Why ask why? Just keep the damn phone, it probably costs them a penny, besides they know you will go back to the g2x, so they want to save you the shame of you calling them back begging for the g2x.

Probably cost them about $300.
PS.. I never went back to the G2X for my daily driver. Now I just use it to test out Roms on which will probably cease once the Sensation boot loader gets unlocked.

No way it costs them that much.... I think they're running new g2x's. I've had them take back phones I've had for a year... I'm going to ask for a new g2x when they come out again... not a sensation... seeing as this phone is a beast in comparison

Well I was guessing the cost as I saw how much they pay for the Sensation which is $339. You do realize that carriers don't make much on the phone and most of there profit comes from selling talk, text and data plans. By the way the G2X is no beast over the Sensation. The only thing out does better is play some games smoother and the UI is a little quicker. Once the Sensation drops sense it will be just as fast in the UI. I know this because I use both devices everyday. I still play Tegra games on my G2X like Riptide GP but I rarely user out for anything else. Most apps load quicker on my Sensation (Google Maps loads in half the time) and after looking at QHD, everything else looks fuzzy. So there you have it. The only 2 categories the G2X wind its UI speed and optimized gaming.

I finally got a great Rep. but I have success usually with their Loyalty Department (but you have to be very convincing that youre ready to pay the cancellation fee and bounce). Just kept a level head and was calm and nice and reminded them that I had taken time off work to return the 4 previous faulty devices and that they had messed up my previous shipment (and that i was paying for 3g on my vibrant for 8 months before i discovered i was only getting 2g because of their sim card. that they should have told all their customers with a network wide text message to come in and get a new one in my opinion) which was a service I had been paying for and had not been receiving at no fault of mine.

T-mobile wouldnt let this happen
I called retention and loyalty and they would not let me exchange this and i have been a customer for 11 years. Please help me do this

hey dolphinwigs,
I got my g2x with a new 2 year contract in april, and it's way past the exchange date for me. is there any way still for me to exchange for a sensation? thanks

id just call them. i had some past history with them messing up so im sure that is what helped. that and i did get a very understanding customer service rep. there isnt really a trick its just up to them. i only posted because i felt it was interesting they didn't want the g2x back, and because at the time there were a lot of posts speculating lg and tmobile discontinuing the g2x. figured maybe that could perhaps have been an indication of that. anyways im just sharing the info. also i had 4 g2x phones that had major issues before the last which only had a few. so they were just being cool im sure.

Well I was guessing the cost as I saw how much they pay for the Sensation which is $339. You do realize that carriers don't make much on the phone and most of there profit comes from selling talk, text and data plans. By the way the G2X is no beast over the Sensation. The only thing out does better is play some games smoother and the UI is a little quicker. Once the Sensation drops sense it will be just as fast in the UI. I know this because I use both devices everyday. I still play Tegra games on my G2X like Riptide GP but I rarely user out for anything else. Most apps load quicker on my Sensation (Google Maps loads in half the time) and after looking at QHD, everything else looks fuzzy. So there you have it. The only 2 categories the G2X wind its UI speed and optimized gaming.

You're comparing the g2x having froyo to gb on the sensation. Not realistic. Once gb is on the g2x, I think it'll blow it away. Make a comparison then and we'll see...

I've just recently moved from AT&T back in August and jumped in on the free online offer for the G2X for both my wife and I. So far both phones have been running perfectly stock without issue. I know a lot of attention is being placed on the new Samsung offering but the pure Android experience is awesome. There is not much if any bloatware to complain about and the phone is very well constructed physically.
With anything in the technology industry this phone will be surpassed in speed but it's still a contender, even against the SGII and some of the newer HTC models. When I switched carriers this was the fastest phone available with the best features. I love T-Mobiles free WiFi calling and the Android unlimited data plan (20 Bucks) which goes along way for military users since I travel a lot.
Give the phone a shot, if not the SGSII is here and the HTC MG4G slide also offers specs near to that of the G2X.

No, it's not worth an upgrade from a mt4g to a g2x. I also came from a mt4g only reason i got the g2x was because i found one on craigslist for a steal and it didn't cost me my upgrade(waiting for the Hercules for that).
I would wait for either the Hercules or HTC Amaze 4g, but if none of those caught your attention... might as well wait for the s4 line of chips and or quad core early next year. The G2x is a beast of a phone, but so is that mt4g you got, it can still hang with most phones out today.
