Which wasn't long.
For the life of me I cannot get this phone to stay connected to 4g. I really don't want to have connection issues show up after my 30 day exchange.
Converted back to stock and exchanging for a Nexus.
Shame really, this phone is better than the Nexus, but only when it's working.

I'm going to hate myself for actually replying to this, but here goes...
so you exchanged a phone that was having trouble connecting to 4G with a phone that doesn't even have 4G? OK, have fun with that...
ever considered having the phone exchanged with another mt4g and having them set it up there?

just making sure by having problems staying connected to 4g do you mean keeping "H" service and it drops to "3G"

Did you ever consider that your phone could be defective? Try out another one before just giving up
At least you experienced 4G. I don't get 4G where I'm at. I'm currently at school and I don't even get 3G because I'm at bumblefuck.
1) so having a phone that cant connect past edge is somehow better than one that can because it says it can do 4g?
2) it wont stay on wcdma.
3) they were sold out of nexus s so I exchanged for a white mt4g and will give this one a go. If it doesnt play ball, its my last one. Im not going to join the ranks of "oh yeah im on my fifth mytouch 4g.."

To those of you who had to root using gfree, if you have trouble with 4g similar to what I've detailed, you might have a bad radio.
After exchange, with new white mytouch, I didn't need to use gfree. S=off stuck using root.sh and my antenna is running 4g strong.

Well I suppose you are on to something. The nexus S is a flawless phone, no bugs...Only the MT4G needs to be exchanged, there hasnt been other bugs found in other phones.(Sarcasm...)

When I'm back at home (philly), I usually get good connection. Around 4 Mbps. I just don't think that's a 4g speed. And I can't do anything about the speed when I'm at school.

Well, the second MyTouch 4g isn't lasting long. Now, when I get a lot of SMS at the same time as using Pandora, the phone restarts.
Also, light is leaking out of the bottom buttons. Pretty badly to the point where I can almost see the LED behind the buttons and the bottom left of the screen is glowing even though I have a TPU case.
The 4G problem still exists. I'm guessing it's a tower problem near my campus because it's always as soon as I get to school that the 4G just dies. So I might just leave T-Mobile.
When I had a MyTouch 3G, my connection was always strong. Sure it wasn't 4G, but I literally always had 3G in San Diego no matter where I went. I wouldn't lose 3G unless I started driving to Sacramento and once I got a hundred miles north of Los Angeles, it would drop to Edge. But in San Diego, Los Angeles, a few miles out of each city, Sacramento, Davis, Berkeley, San Fransisco, with the MyTouch 3G I always had 3G.
With this phone, I can't even be in my girlfriend's apartment (in the middle of San Diego) without losing 4G or at school.
The h you see in your status bar isn't always 4g sometimes its hdpsa or 3.5g.and as long as you see a 3 there is still a chance its 4g the only way to tell if your I'm 4g is to run a speed test.so as long as you still see 3g there is no need to complain

Dude, did you read my post?
I'm not getting data! I don't care about the letter. It could be a 3, 3g, xyz or a smiley face for all I care. The problem is I have four full bars and the H symbol but data isn't working. It won't switch to edge unless I go into settings and change it to GSM only.
This is the second mytouch 4g doing this to me. It doesn't matter if I'm rooted or running custom or vanilla sense. It still has spotty data.

Go get a nexus s and gtfo. You clearly hate your mt4g anyway,and you seem dead set on a nexus s. Also, since you dont want to be in the ranks where youre on your 5th mytouch 4g, go join the nexus s side.

I am having the exact same issue with my MT4G. It'll show a data connection (E or H) and a strong signal, but it will do absolutely nothing. Nothing that relies on data works. And yes, I've already gotten a new SIM card, didn't fix the issue.
It goes back and forth between showing a strong connection to "limited service" and back.
This phone is going back, hopefully my replacement MT4G has the good screen and data that actually works.
Logged into forums this morning to find almost all the threads gone for the Mytouch 4g in each of the categories. Doesn't seem to be the case for anything else? Will they be restored?
Are you mixing up mytouch 4g slide with mytouch 4g? Here's the link to the mytouch 4g: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=793
The poster above me is right, on that note. Thread closed.
For months now I've been stuck on MetroPCS with the Huawei Ascend. I'm generally a patient person but I've become so angry with this company it's just unreal to me.
Anyway, I'm stuck on this crappy phone with 256 RAM and not even a fast processor.
I've decided to choose Sprint over AT&T (still in debate) and I've chosen a Sprint smartphone, one that I think offers speed and reliability, because it's what I really want out of a phone.
My options are: HTC EVO or the HTC EVO Shift
Which should I get? Which is faster? Help me please.
And a separate other question, is the Samsung Captivate a fast phone for AT&T?
In my opinion the HTC EVO is for people who like doing non essential things like gaming, internet surfing etc. But the HTC EVO shift is for people who text more and use it for business and I think the HTC EVO shift is speedier. Sorry if this was no help since I don't have any specs

Actually, that helped me make my choice. Thanks for the help.
you should check with people on how the service is in your area. Depending on where you are, different carriers may work better than others. Generally though, CDMA networks (such as Sprint and Verizon) work better than GSM networks (T-Mobile and AT&T).
You can typically find a smartphone you will love on any large carrier, so you shouldn't let that determine what carrier you pick
My girlfriends shift is garbage. Id go for the evo. 1ghz vs 806 mhz, more ram, more development, better battery life, pretty much better in every way. Sorry to confuse

I would actually recommend the Epic 4g. I know you asked about the Captivate and while it is a good phone (I previously owned a Vibrant, same model phone but for T-Mobile), the Epic is everything the Captivate is, except its 4g, has a better more sturdy feel, and best of all, a physical keyboard. The Epic is actually the highest rated Samsung Galaxy phone and has comparable specs to the Evo, yet form factor of Evo Shift. Or, hold off another month (I know how hard that can be, I had MetroPCS and could only put up with 4 days before going back to T-Mo) because Samsung IS releasing the Galaxy 2 series of phones. I hope I helped.

Sorry for the long wait. I chose the Evo 4G. I'm very satisfied with it, and thank you for responding.
Nexus S 4G, no bloatware, developer phone, pure android. Smoothest phone on Sprint for sure.

Haha, sorry for the revive but I think I'm regretting getting my Evo. Should have gotten that Nexus... My friend has it and I'm jelly.

The following have all been designated by T-Mobile as reaching their End of Life (EOL). Nice to see that our phone isnt on this list.
HTC myTouch 4G Slide, HTC Sensation 4G, HTC Amaze 4G, LG Doubleplay, LG myTouch and the LG myTouch Q

I've been wanting to switch to tmobile, running pageplus right now and just can't live with 100mb of data. So the 2gbs of "4"g, would last me forever.
It's a good thing I waited, hopefully something that tops the Amaze with be in the midst. Was really the only phone I was wanting, I can't pass up Sense.

The thing with T-Mo is that they have the cheapest plans but unless you're paying $200 with the contract, you're going to get a crappy phone. Other than that I'd leave AT&T for T-Mo

What are you talking about? T-Mo has a pretty good selection of phones. You can buy them with or without a contract.
I'm surprised the Amaze is on this list so quickly.
