Yeah its nice to be able to stream npr and post this at the same time. I'm on edge btw.

Could I facetime someone with an iphone?

Well I got a G2 and I'm thinking about switching it to the mytouch 4g.. a lot of my friends got iphone 4s and facetime each other all the time. If I got the mytouch would it be possible to facetime them?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

No. iPhone's facetime is proprietary system. Only iSheep can do it.

you can talk to them through the yahoo app though thats also available on iphone 4s

that sucks I only got a couple days to either trade my g2 for the mytouch or keep it, front facing cam is the only difference...

i returned my g2 a week or so ago, i have a lot of friends with iphone 4s too, ill just talk to them through the yahoo app if i really want to, but i dotn need a keyboard and i wanted an led indicator...so this phone suits me better

Download an app called "Tango" from the marketplace and have your iFriends download the same app from their App Store. It's very similar to FT, very clean and minimal. It automatically searches for contacts with the app downloaded. Enjoy!

What about Fring?

I agree, tango is the way to go. I like how it shows the ppl in your contacts who already have it, regardless of they phone or carrier.

and you can use it even if you don't have a FFC

2 thumbs up for Tango...I found it to be better than Fring and QiK...

Missed/delayed messages

Anyone else have an issue with someone calling or testing you and you don't receive it? I get the voicemail (no notification I have a new one ) and then all the texts come after too. This happens consistently to me. At first I thought it was the Rom so I reset to factory but it still happens.

With google voice or regular carrier voicemail?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

Carrier voicemail and texts. I will get home from work and my wife will ask if I got her text. I then check my carrier voicemail to receive the text from a few hours ago.

Texts work perfectly fine for me to my girlfriend & her backflip no lag ever voicemail I don’t know about because we use google voice. I would suggest using voice great replacement for visual voicemail coming from iphone
Edit: what rom?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

Currently using the stock Rom as I may be sending my phone in since I am also having issues with not connecting to the towers after I lose signal in my office sometimes.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App

I would suggest rooting & flashing cyanogenmod on it been extremely reliable for me & just use google voice for visual voicemail

The issue actually started back in Sept/Oct. when I had the cm6 Rom on. I may give it another go though to see what happens
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App

Well have CM61 on my phone which has helped some but the issue still persists. Contacted the local ATT and the said there are 2 towers very close to each other in the area I have this issue in. So they are saying the phone keeps bouncing between them causing the issue.

Bluetooth File Transfer

I was trying to send my brother who has a my touch3g a few files and couldn't get our phones to connect. What's the deal? Do I need an app?
Both our phones had bluetooth on and were discoverable. I did file transfers before on my old phone. Help please fellas.

I only use bluetooth to exchange files with my laptop. I use dropbox to share files with friends and find it easier and more convenient.

Do you have to use drop box? Can the phone do it stock?

I never tried a phone-to-phone bluetooth transfer with my MyTouch 4G. I stopped that a while ago when most of my friends got iPhones and could no longer do bluetooth transfers. I don't see why it shouldn't be able to do it though. If I had another phone to connect with I would test it.

I've transferred from myTouch 4g to blackberry curve. Thats without an app. If I'm not mistaken the myTouch 3g doesn't support phone to phone. Was introduced in the myTouch slide. Correct me if I'm wrong.

No, you don't need an app. You can transfer and receive pics, music, videos and probably more as long as the other phone supports it. If not supported then yeah app would be useful.

On the myTouch 4g long press on the item you want to transfer or hit the share button then hit via Bluetooth. That's how I did it. Now if you're trying to transfer to the myTouch 3g, remember it does not support file transfer through Bluetooth. That's when you could probably use an app. Try "Bluetooth file transfer" app in the market if transferring to mt3g. That's the only one I've checked out before.
Try transferring to different phone as well without app.

Facebook applications

I am just wondering what application you all use for Facebook as the official one seems to be the cause of my lack of battery life. I use tweetdeck but it doesn't notify me of everything on Facebook
