Making the switch..... - HTC Inspire 4G

Ugh this is such a hard decision but I'm honestly so tired of my atrix. Development...yeah right. Basically dead. Really wants to make me switch phones. I got offered an inspire on Craigslist and I tested one out at the att store. Top 3 for me would be inspire, sgs2, and infuse but I haven't gotten any sgs2 or infuse offers sso I'm thinking about taking up this inspire offer. Any atrix converts over here? Heard the inspire is laggy and bbattery life isn't all that great but everything seemed pretty nice to me at the att store. Can I get any input of previous atrix owners? Is it worth the switch?

Not an Atrix convert,but I can tell you there are a lot of great devs here. I find myself changing roms once or twice a month. Just cause it is cool to see something different.

yeah atrixs devs have been mia...how about the performance of the inspire on a rom? (cm7/miui)?

Inspire custom roms are amazing. Great battery life on almost all roms I had tried and performance as well. Personally, miui, android revolution, and coredroid are my top 3 best choice. I am currently on Android revolution. Switching back and forth at times to feel the greatness from those three roms.

The Inspire is definitely a great device. Second best on the market imo (behind the GS2, which I also use). I've owned the Inspire longer than any other device I've ever owned. You'll be good with the Inspire for a while. I found development support to be awesome. I can't even part ways with my Inspire, even though it's not my main device right now. I'm still using it as I would a tablet (wifi browsing, games, updating Google Calendar events, etc.).

As P00t said, Inspire and DesireHD roms are amazing. My top three would be Android Revolution, CoreDroid and CM7, though I haven't tried MIUI because I used to have an iPhone and that is what the screenshots reminded me of. Mike and his ARHD team do an amazing job of answering questions or pointing you in the right direction. Sergio and his CoreDroid team has an amazing website and layout to answer any questions. Sigurd_LU has an amazing theme that works flawlessly with ARHD and should work on other Sense roms.

Where do people keep hearing that the inspire is laggy. This is not the first time I have read this. Even on stock gingerbread the inspire is smooth. Throw a custom rom on it and run adrenaline tweak and you got solid goodness.

I AM an Atrix convert and i have to say i don't think i will be replacing/upgrading my Inspire for quite a while. The Atrix just ended up being to darn small and had a cheap feeling because of the plastic that was used. The dual core support is more non existent than it should be as well.
The roms for the Inspire are great - for me i love MIUI (a little slow at times), Virtuous Unity 2.39 (smooth and includes Sense), and Cyanogenmod 7 ( smooth and you have a TON of customizations).
Not to mention the Inspire forum has the best contributors i have had the privilege to receive advice from.
In short, go with the Inspire you will be happy that you did.

+1 on Get the Inspire!
The phone itself is great (physically) and with all the roms and apps, you can't go wrong! For sense rom Rcmix Runny is just wow. I'm now running with Stardroid Ranger (based on CM7) - AOSP (my first) and loving it.

Inspire for sure! Top 3 for me are MIUI, Virtous Unity & Gingerbeast. Awesome device

I am an atrix convert, and I don't regret letting it go at all. The atrix devs would make a rom and never update them and everything was just themed stock roms. IMO inspire is the place to be, sure it's not dual core but nothing is utilizing a dual core processor, besides the inspire is plenty fast with quadrant scores around 2500. Atrix qhd screen was so pixilated and the inspires screen is pretty vivid not to super amoled standards but still alot better than qhd. Every time you look in the inspire development section you find something new or updated. Inspire is the way to go. On paper it wouldn't seem like it but just from everyday use it blows the atrix out of the water.

I had an Atrix. "HD" screen sucked, camera sucked, it just sucked.
Inspire has amazing screen and camera! I'm usually using MIUI 75% of the time and CM7 the other 25%.
Returning the Atrix for this was VERY wise

I love this phone

I just came from the Atrix. I thought that I would be OK running the atrix without mods(locked bootloader), but i think i went through with-drawls from CM. Motorola blows goats with their locked blootloaders. Ther stock price is down 10%
Design Gears bricked his phone, that was the final straw. I will never by a Motorola phone again
Loving it too!
Coming from Leo I have found it very similar just with more mpx and RAM/ROM
Bye physical buttons as well.
So far so good (2 days with it)
some testings have showed that browsing speed of Atrix is not faster than Inspire. Proud to own an Inspire.
I agree, it is a great phone. Had it for a week now, it was a nice upgrade from my HTC Aria.
Love this phone too. Coming from 4 years of every iPhone - finally got bored and made the jump.
At first it was like a really bad break up - thought about the iPhone 4 every single day, missed it when I would hold or caress another phone, and wanted many of the features/memories back. Now after about two months, rooting, flashing to MIUI (following weekly builds), cattleprod's Cyan04.7 Kernel, and other tweaks and mods, I'm wholeheartedly fulfilled and more ways then before. Can't imagine going back to that terrible world I was in before.
Don't get me wrong, I have an iPad 2 and wouldn't give that up for the world (or any other Android tablet) though. Apples vs oranges though.

So yes needless to say I love my Inspire 4g! In fact trying to talk buddy of mine into buying one instead of the Infuse. I prefer HTC.

The infuse has about 1/2 the RAM and only 200 MHz more CPU (easily in the stable OC range)
Also, the only bad thing about moving from the iPhone was the apps I had bought. It was SO easy to sync my contacts to Gmail.
I love his phone also. After rooting, custom Roms etc... this phone is even better. I switched from being and Iphone user and will not go back. I am waiting to get my wife one for her upgrade so she can get rid of the Iphone also.

Count me in on the Inspire love. I've had mine for a couple months now and find it still to be an exceptional smartphone. I haven't rooted mine but I do use custom launchers. Currently using GO Launcher EX with the GoContacts/GoDialer and continue to be amazed by this Inspire.
I can't take screenshots on my Inspire but this is exactly what it looks like from these screenshots of my HD2. The only difference is the taskbar.

[Q] Mytouch4g to a G2x

I am thinking about trading my Mytouch4g for a G2x.....i also have a dell streak 5
In everyone's opinion, which is the better phone? I know the G2x's specs are ridiculous compared to the other 2, but I have heard of many issues with the G2x.
This G2x is unlocked and rooted running 2.3.3. So I imagine that most of the bad bugs are worked out already.
So basically, I am wondering about other people's input on this trade. Should I go from the Mytouch4g to the G2x? Or should I just stick with my Dell Streak 5?
I made this switch. But I was forced to cause my MT4G died after I dropped it in water. Yes G2x is faster and has a bigger screen but in terms of development I think MT4G being an HTC is a better phone.
CM7 worked a lot better on it than G2x although G2x isn't that bad. It is still stuck on 2.6.32 kernel though, while the MT4G kernel is up to .35 and easily devvable.
Spec-wise, they are about the same. Shouldn't be much of a difference except for the keyboard.

so is it a good trade?
this guy said he had one that had problems and sent it back...this is the new replacement and it was preloaded with 2.3.3.
What are the thoughts on this? Is it going to be a better idea to root it and install a custom ROM? Are the problems more prevelant on the stock ROMs?
He said it has been fine since he got a new one. But that it had many problems before when he had one with 2.2.2. I just dont want to trade for some buggy non-functional phone!
Has anyone had a lot of problems with their G2x since rooting or stock upgrading to 2.3.3?

I got a MT4G and my wife got the G2x. After playing with her phone for half a day, I went back to the store and traded my MT4G in. I love the G2x.
Very true about development. If you are flash happy and want to change ROMs often...stick with the MT4G.
I'm in the same boat as the op, and I'm really tempted to get a g2x, as I'm a bit of a tech addict and can't wait for the gs2. On the other hand, the mt4g isn't terrible. It's stable, and development wise a lot better than the g2x. It runs pretty much 99% of what I want it to run very well.
The development is the only thing keeping me from jumping right now.

I am getting antsy to get a new phone to replace my MT4G, but I do not want to spend a ton like I would on a sensation or the Galaxy 2. I was thinking an older dual core might be a good start.
I like to tinker, but not overly flash happy. Just want stability and decent battery life, and the typical things like good signal reception and call quality.
Why do people always bring up GSII? I doubt you'll notice any differences in real world performance... Just get a G2x. Development isn't that bad... But if you MUST HAVE Sense, stick with the MT4G.
The GSII is a great phone... If it is anything like the first one then it will be even better with cyanogen or any custom ROM, same with the sensation. I don't use Sense often, but it isn't that bad, especially the newer versions.
The biggest difference will be battery life. From what I am hearing, the new SOCs are much easier on the battery, so all things being equal, the sensation or GSII will have much better battery life even with higher use cases.
That is why the choice is more difficult. Besides... us tinkers (aka the rooting community) will never be satisfied long with the same phone. After about a year, it is time to look into something new. Sometimes we can't afford the latest and greatest so we look for the best bang for our buck we can.
As to a new g2x owner (3 weeks) I love this phone, bought it brand new from the store and it works flawlessly, I flashed weapons GB build and using fauxes over clocked kernel.
In other words, i'm in love with it.

Mt4g still alive and well!

Has anyone besides me noticed, that with all the newer handsets that are coming out, the mt4g is still comparable, and not really outdated! I am still loving mine. Best handset is have had to date. And believe me, b4 I got laid off, I was changing phones every 3 to 4 months...

IMO the sensation really isn't anything special. The screen on it sucks and its not that fast for it being a dual core phone. I played with the epic touch gs2 yesterday....and now that's a phone to drool over. That right now is the only phone out that's worth an upgrade from the mt4g. Again this is just my opinion.

I've heard some bad things about the Sensation, but I think the sluggish speed is caused by the async Snapdragon that Qualcomm made. Both CPUs won't be on unless they're both needed and I'm guessing that doesn't work really good in Gingerbread, so perhaps on 1 core is active. When the Exynos or Tegra 2 the cores are both on all the time, so they should be faster, although they still clock up and down as normal. The screen in lacking, but it's no S/Amoled or IPS or Retina. HTC doesn't really produce nicer screens like the competition, they use S-LCD or LCD in their phones, not sure if they have any other tech ATM.
Well, I can agree on this. I've never been a fan of MyTouch models, but T-Mo forced me. I've been from a T-Mo G1 (Dream), to a T-Mo G2 (Desire Z), then to a samsung Galaxy S 4g and when it got stolen, the assurant would only leave me with a MyTouch 4g. Really can't compare the screen, but hey, I'm more than pleased. I'm quite impressed this phone doesn't have that much of a great feedback from T-Mo. :/ Oh well.
Yeah I've had a bunch, came from an epic and I have to say this phone is good stock. Unity is boss though. Omfg.
Edit: one other thing... This community is so chilled and friendly compared to the previous ones I have been a part of. Thank you people...

Totally happier with this one. SGS4G relied TOO MUCH on the screen~ and it was just annoying sometimes. I got used to physical buttons because of my last phones, so I felt like using an iPhone not an Android. And besides, the SGS4G's front facing camera was just sad.

Sorry was it hard for you to comprehend?
DhD = Desire HD (GSM)
TB = Thunderbolt (CDMA)
2GS = Second Generation Spandragon
So technically Inspire HD (GSM-US) is equivalent of Desire HD (GSM-EU). Since we real pro die hard SmartPhone user know HTC owns Moto and SamSUX, so that's another subject of its own.
Now the point I was making is as you being home user you yourself do not need or dual core mCPU yet. So MT4G is same spec as Thunderbolt (yes I'm aware of the screen and nand diff). Thus last of its kind not failed attempt to upgrade us to dual core when Android framework so far utilizing only cpu0 as cpu1 thread is most not used as OS and App is not using it yet.

Most likely, never had the chance to check. The phone got stolen a month after bought so I could barely play around with it. It's not usual of me to root a phone the same day I get it; I stay with root for a few days, and in this case, a month. Now with the MT4G, no way I was gonna stay with stock for a month, no way. |: hahaha.
Hi guys, I've move to the Sensation its nice and all,but mytouch4G seems better and faster to be honest I miss my mytouch4G its a great phone. I'm thinking of selling this Sensation and get HTC Amazed or SGII. But I love Sense but the speakers in HTC sux,gonna be a hard decision.

over the past few onths i have gone from the mt4g to the sidekick 4g, to the g2x, to the nexus s. what i have learned is that no matter how nice a phone looks it will never beat an htc. the only reason i would ever leave this phone again is for the amaze or sensation.
htc's sense is by far the best ui there is and there is not a single app that can even come close to replicating it. trust me if you get rid of it you will regret it!!

if you ask me, i say yes. but, i'm pretty biased toward samsuck products, so i guess my opinions aren't very accurate. though, i DO have to admit, the Galaxy Nexus is pretty nice
lol why not the HTC Sensation? or even the Amaze?
also +1 on what the OP said, MT4G really is a beast phone. THANK YOU HTC!
Im planning to get windows phone when i bored with mt4g. The only thing i love from sense is its quality of its software. Best GUI ever on android phone. But ithink metro ui is thebest gui ever found on a phone.

Alot of phones look bad ass on paper but suck after launch. Will have to wait a bit to see what the galaxy nexus is made of. The name alone is retarded.

samsung makes some pretty cool phones but i dont need to be near a computer to flash a rom with my HTC. Thats what will keep me an HTC customer. Motorola and Samsung need to get their act together when it comes to root access.
In all fairness, the MyTouch 4G is terrible... until you root it and put a new rom on.

I'd agree with that. The hardware specs allow it to run any custom ROM extremely well, but the stock "mySense" ROM leaves a lot to be desired.

What was so good about it? I know the processor is better but what's so good about that phone?
From what I've seen I dont like the GUI on that phone
I like this phone bc we have a lot of different roms to choose from and its all around a good fast stable phone

It depends on what you want in a phone. Since I don't really consider myself a power user, the MT4G has been close to perfect for me in terms of having fairly high-end hardware (remember, the majority of mainstream phones out there aren't very good even though we consider 1GHz and WVGA to be bare minimum requirements) at an acceptable price point.
What matters most to me is an active developer community because there was no way in hell regardless of what phone I got that I was going to keep the stock ROM. With all this Carrier IQ crap going on now, I had the right mindset all along and also got lucky that the Virtuous team removes Carrier IQ from their ROMs, which is good because I do like the Sense UI. However, I won't call myself an HTC fan. I'm only loyal to a product that works as I expect or want it to work, and I'm not that impressed with what I'm reading about HTC's newest phones. In addition, the Amaze reportedly has Carrier IQ. Fine and easy for people here to remove it, but not for the regular smartphone user.
If you told me to recommend a current new phone on the market compatible with T-Mobile's network for the non-rooter/flasher, I would recommend the Galaxy Nexus for AOSP's lack of spyware, even if that means having to wait at least another week for it in the US.

I agree. When I first got the mt4g I got bored quickly. Then I rooted and I fell in love.

+1 that and +1 the op. When rooted the mytouch 4g is one of the best phones out there. Like other people said the only thing I'd even think about trading it for is am Amaze or Sensation.

I loved my mytouch since day one. in my opinion I don't think its the phone jus more of the software. Sense phones period are the best. Unlike asop, you have the best of both worlds (when rooted that is).

I agree 100%. I went from a mytouch 3G 1.2 to a Galaxy S 4G and even though the Galaxy was much faster and smoother compared to the Mytouch 3G, it was difficult to root and the aftermarket ROMs for it are basically variations of the same stock TouchWiz rom. I found myself longing for my clunky old mytouch 3G.
I agree with the OP that I will never go with anything but an HTC phone from this point forward.
The funny thing about it is that Android advocates are always talking about specs and iPhone people are always harping on user experience because their phones are generally out-speced by the latest Android phones. I hate to say it but the MT4G sort of proves the Apple people right. Other phones that were released at the same time as the MT4G had better specs and even better testing scores but I can say from first hand experience that the MyTouch out performs most of them for everyday use, even with the stock rom installed.

Well I guess I'm back

Just sold my amaze today...got $400 bucks out of it so...so it looks like the dev community is still poppin over here...alot better then the amaze thread that place was an awfull mess but it was fun. But honestly you guys are all awsome for keeping this phone going

There really wasn't much there honestly. The amaze is stuck with S-on and all the Roms are sense based Roms and there is like only one kernel made by faux. We had a great developer xboarder56 but he got permabanned probly because he was an angsty 16 y/o who advertised his own site and we HAD a good mod who kept order but he stepped down. So now there's like 3? Devs and ics and cm9 is slowly being worked on but not much has happened. So I guess I'm excited to see all the new fun stuff over here. I was kinda bummed when I saw that TDJ moved to the sgs2 he made some kick ass stuff.

ah...
yeah..feb left for the Sensation as well.
I wonder how many will leave for the HTC one s? I know I will. It looks sick. And still HTC! I was never a fan of Samsung so no galaxy s 3 for me. Oh and welcome back! Mt4g still going strong!

As cool as the one s looks, Idk if I can go with HTC untill they stop locking down there phones. The amaze is a nightmare because although the bootloader is unlocked its still S-on so its only half unlocked. I hate touchwiz and the screen on the sgs2 just can't compare with the amaze, but from the looks of it the sgs3 is very promising.

I'm sorry man. I love my mt4g but I would've never gotten rid of the amaze. Specially with an official ics release coming to it.

Yea I had some finance issues and someone offered to buy it. Idk I think I'm just going to wait untill my contract is up In August and see what new and exciting things are out there. The amaze was a great phone but it hardly had any development.

I don't meanto interrupt yalls conversation, but generally speaking, I've discovered overthe last couple weeks, thatI can deal with stock and/or sense, its the damn bloatware that bothers me. I have tried most of the roms but I mostly like abasic unbloated rom with GO launcher over thetop... I almost got an Amaze a month ago, but I'm still loving my mt4g...

i agree with this, but if you had to sell it, do your thing man. the mytouch is more than capable as a daily driver. im still infatuated with my mytouch so i switch back and forth often

If you don't like bloat go with cm7 or the now ancient royalginger or faux123's aosp. If you just don't like bloatware gobwith every other sense rom Idk anyone who uses bloat in their Roms. The amaze actually wasn't horrible with battery life, I usually averaged about 14 hours with xboarders roms
