Just picked up the new Mytouch 4g...

I gotta say even with it runnin the new mytouch sense ui and it being on stock settings its blazing fast... very happy I got this instead of the G2. Now I will sit back and wait for root lol

Temp root is available, but you may be waiting a lomg time for permanent root - which may not be possible (see the development section).
Am hoping it is not the case, but preparing for it if it is.

Why does everyone call it the "new" mytouch UI? In case you people didn't notice, it's almost identical to the UI on the Slide. There's nothing new about the interface at all.

not a whole lot.. but incorporates parts of sense2.0 - ex. fastboot. (power off/restart power options)
-The recent apps have been extended from 4 static icons as opposed to the 8 apps you can horizontally scroll though when dragging down notification bar.
- my faves gallery has different view options.. list format. (but who uses that)
The 'mysense' ''expresso'' ui skin has definitely been toned down, hold the slide in one hand and the mt4g in the other.. open the app drawer. enough said.

yeah, this phone is much zippier than my vibrant.

Yes, but their 3G speed is equal to, and sometimes better than Sprint's 4G.

U realize they're 4g is slow as fook

FYI the IP4 is called 4 cause it's the 4th generation IP. It has nothing to do with network speed.

tmo has "4g" where i am.. but sprint doesn't have "4g" here.. but still wants to charge $10 extra.. hah!
anyone reading xda should know neither sprint, verizon, nor tmo have networks capable of 100mb/s. However, TMO's 21mb/s (G2 and MT4G have 2nd gen Qualcomm's with 14.4 mb/s capability) is def faster than sprints wimax "4g" network. at least in indianapolis. i consistently get 8-9 mb/s down.. legit.. thing screams fast!

firmware update already!!!
for anyone that just got the MT4G today... Are you getting this firmware update already... I got a notification that a firmware is updating ... WTF???
anyone know anything about it?
EDIT: ok just started the phone back up and I see I'm on 2.2.1........ NICEEEEE

I had the G2 for a couple weeks, but returned it deciding to hold out for this one (and/or WiFi Calling on the G2, whichever came first); the G2 actually felt snappier to me… this one seems bogged down by something - more so than the EVO 4G did with its version of Sense. Also, linpack's still only getting about 32-33 MFLOPS at 1GHz - same as the G2 at 800MHz. EDIT: Well, it's not so consistent… I'm now seeing 36-37 MFLOPS frequently, but it seems to go back and forth between the two ranges. Regardless, it's still lower than I would've expected (given that the G2 gets close to 50 when OC'd to 1.2GHz).
Still, I have no complaints about the speed of the phone… but its bloatware is definitely more egregious than the G2's.

MT4G VS inspire 4G

So im thinking about selling my MT4G and "upgrade" to inspire...but, i sort of wanted to know you guy's overall impression of the device
Should i sell and get it?
Should i stick with mine and wait till Q2 and htc's dual core line up?
Is it worth getting it right now?
I know sgs2 is coming out but y know once u go htc u cant go back lol and samsung sucks

MT4G is a good phone. Why exactly do you want to switch? Bigger screen? Standard Sense instead of T-Mobile customized? You will lose ffc and WiFi calling. More of a sidegrade than an upgrade imo.

Yea I definetely agree. The MT4G is a more than capable device with the same RAM and a 1gHz processor as well. Definetely not a necessary upgrade

The problem is that in my area i have better ATT Coveragr (yes...its true u_u) and so that is one of the major reasons i would consider the upgrade, and i used to have a an HD2 back on the winmo times and i honestly miss the screen realstate :S
Also to be honest my radio signal with the mytouch is quite unstable and the wifi reception is somewhat poor

SK4G is unsupported both by devs and Samsung. Aren't you guys still stuck with Froyo or something? Either way even if you get GB you'll never see anything past GB unless you get CM9, which is highly unlikely.
MT4G has awesome Sense ROM's, a solid MIUI ROM, and a very stable CM7 ROM with CM9 looking within weeks.

What he said

I actually traded my sk4g for a Mytouch and its completely with it. Yes a keyboard its nice but there's no development, and the Mytouch has a bigger screen and typing/swyping is a lot easier that on the sidekick screen.

Getting a Mytouch 4G for a Sidekick 4G is like getting an Audi for Kia (I don't specifically have anything against Kia, but I doubt anyone will argue that a Kia is a better car than an Audi). Don't ask questions. TRADE! Trade and run before your friend realizes their mistake.
I played with a Sidekick 4G for a few minutes and it was a joke. Minus a physical keyboard a Mytouch 4G is better in every way.

Q? Why does thunder bolts miui have 4g?

Was on another forum right now n I saw a post saying miui ics. So I go n check and they have 4g working for the HTC thunderbolt on a miui rom.
To my understanding you can't get 4g because its a China based rom ....can anybody explain or care to elaborate on this?????

I don't know 100%, but I'm sure it's because of different technology of 4G.(TB has LTE and NS4G has WiMax)

On a quick Google I found that they are rolling out LTE there so that's probably the reason why there's LTE support.

Okok hmph thank God we'll have lte next year on Sprint

if you are concidering getting rid of your mt4g... DONT

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.

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.

Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

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.

+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).
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium

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.
