[Q] mytouch vs Samsung

So, how is the mytouch 4g gonna stack up against the new 4G Samsung with a front facing camera that was announced today?? Will the Samsung be better and is it really "REAL" 4G so non-T-Mo people can shut up.

Id say the mytouch doesn't rlly stack up to the OG vibrant, let alone one with 4g and a ffc...

I was talking about the mytouch 4g.

What are you both delusional? specially Flonkas as MT4G beat that wannabe android device in every aspect. In this very forum under few threads down you may want to look at it. lol @ op for thinking Vibrant 4G and Vibrant is diff device.

I don't see why you feel the need to "lol" at me just for asking a question. Unless I didn't understand and you were just being funny. All I've read on the blogs all day today since it was announced is that it will be a better phone. I'm asking why and if that's true. That's all. Don't be such a snob. I found your reply flame-y and a little unnecessary. Again, IF you were trying to make fun of me.

Wasn't trying to offend you but was just stating facts as we covered it long ago here. Now in what ways will Vibrant 4G be better?

I'm with STHNS. After buying a Captivate for my gf and doing research on it I am flabberghasted at how many issues plague that phone. The rooting procedure is a nightmare, the GPS is a joke, Samsung's bloatware is incredible and almost a year later they still haven't updated it to Froyo.
I am VERY glad I didn't get a Vibrant. Stay away is my advice.

Cool, guys thanks. I only heard about this phone on Monday when the rumors hit, so I had no idea people were already talking about it.

My guess is there won't be a new T-Mo phone that could seriously challenge the MT4G until March (sorry Nexus S users)

I am a former Vibrant owner. The MT4G is leaps and bounds beyond the Vibrant. In the 3 months that I've owned the Vibrant, the majority of my time was spent trying to apply various fixes to try to make the phone work as it should. With the MT4G, the only modification I've made was applying the Gingerbread launcher. As such, I have no reason to believe that the repackaged Vibrant (make no mistake, it's the same phone with a couple of extra bells and whistles thrown in) will be any better. I suggest avoiding Samsung phones altogether, at least in the near future. That company really needs to get its act together.

Agreed. We've got the best processor, the most RAM, and because it's an HTC we've got tons of ROMs and developer support. There's been an ongoing project to port the Nexus S ROM over to SGS for months now and it's still unstable. We've got CM7 as a daily driver already.

I would agree with this. I had much respect for Samsung but after buying my gf a Captivate and doing more research I'm on it I'm very displeased with them.

LOL kgbkny I remember when I had HD2 and Vibrant first came out people came up to me and was like this is better than yours I was like idiot you don't even have lagfix installed and I can beat it down without scaling my CPU at 768mhz. He had no idea so I installed various packages and fixes and he agreed it ran better after and was thankful. But ya Samsung you should avoid it period go with superior mobile vendor like HTC how many phone that is flagship of many carrier is not HTC? Lets be real now HTC is the way to go.

I laughed at this one and I'm a vibrant owner. I got my wife a mt4g for xmas and there is no comparison. Stock out of the box the mt4g is leaps and bounds better than the vibrant. As far as speed and response, the stock mt4g was at a minimum as fast as my rooted/modded/voodoo lagfixed vibrant.
I've installed just about every rom that's come out for the vibrant from eugene, master, and team whiskey as well as every leaked modem that's come out and the mt4g consistently gets better signal than my vibrant as well. I'll be sitting in my house and the vibrant goes back and forth between edge and 3g and I've never seen the mytouch on edge once. Then you have to factor in the gps problem of the samsungs and the fact that samsung has a terrible history of supporting their devices. They'll straight up leave you hanging. They came out with the galaxy s line, then in no time flat they come out with the nexus s, and now they've come out with the vibrant 4g. All that is great if they support their devices when they move on to new ones but they have a history of not doing that. In the meantime I can put gingerbread on my old ass HTC G1.
The one thing the Samsung has going for it is the screen. That screen is hot **** but it's not so great that it makes up for all the other areas that it's deficient in IMO.
Plus the mt4g has sensui. Not everyone likes sense. I do, but more importantly I can run the senseui but if I want something different I can root the phone and install a more vanilla android experience. With the vibrant there isn't any stable sense roms running on it. So you have more variety with the mt4g as well. Plus the extra RAM doesn't hurt either or the FFC. I like the physical buttons and the trackpad as well. YMMV.

Actually the original galaxy s the international version had the FFC, may be tmo is just playing this apple game of streaming the upgrades for its customers.
The MT4 will still be the better phone if samsung chose to use the same wimpy cpu already found in their vibrant.

AT&T is getting the Desire HD very soon. Of all the current phones, it's the only one that I would give up the MT4G for.

Did you check the communication spec for DHD? It uses 900/2100mhz for 3G you won't get 3G in USA but you can use 2G for d/v. Far as MT4G vs DHD goes I was like you also but as they do share similar spec but if you look at benchmark you will see MT4G is superior than DHD but DHD does have 4.3" display lol which I miss so dearly, but also would have picked DHD if had 3G support.

HTC Hero 4G

Looks like its finally getting a replacement:
Unconfirmed rumours obtained from Pocketnow and a DLNA certificate for the device indicate that the upcoming HTC Kingdom is likely to be sold by Sprint as the HTC Hero 4G. Apparently, there are also indications of the device appearing in the EXIF data on photo-sharing sites.
We came across the HTC Kingdom in early May when a ROM of the device was leaked by the Chinese blog 911sniper. At the time not much was known about the device save for its qHD (540x960px) screen. Later Pocketnow released some updated specs indicating that the HTC Kingdom had a 1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM7630 processor, 768MB RAM, a 5MP camera with 720p video recording, and the device would launch with Android 2.3.3.
The rumours suggest that the HTC Kingdom will be launched by Sprint as the HTC Hero 4G, the carrier to originally launch the 528MHz, 3.2-inch HTC Hero, running one of the earliest Android builds (1.5 Cupcake). The Hero 4G has already passed FCC certification so it is likely we will be seeing the device sooner rather than later.

I just texted my dad that if I fix my hero (digitizer in it is bad) then I will keep it until this phone comes out, if I can't fix it, I'm getting his evo.

Most sources are saying single-core... I hope it's all lies. But then again I wish it could be the 1st triple core phone and be a REAL Hero! I know... I dream too big.

single core is by no means a turn-off to me. Id say given where its likely to be priced, this could be a great replacement for the hero. Sure dual core sounds all well and good, but Im buying a phone for a phone/pda and not a computer replacement.

Sweet ... love the Hero

I love my HTC Hero as well. I'm on the fence about maybe switching to the photon 4g I can get my 2 year upgrade August 1st.
I just flashed/upgraded my Hero for the second time from Froyo to Gingerbread a few weeks ago and I finally think I got all the kinks out worked out. Plus I just told Sprint I would stay with them for another 2 years.
Seeing how the HTC Kingdom would be coming to Sprint as the Hero 4G, this is tempting but I think I will stick with my Hero for a bit longer. I love this phone. When I saw the HTC Legend awhile back I thought that would be my next phone but sadly it was not on Sprint.
I just love the idea of a track ball on a phone that is one of the main reasons why I bought the Hero cause it had a track ball and I didn't want a Blackberry.
Heres hoping Sprint does release more Hero phones in the future maybe with a trackball as well...I just hope the trackball smart phone isn't dead yet and companies make more with trackballs on them.

New name change from Hero 4G to Evo Design 4G

I love the trackball, too. Especially on smallish screens like my current Hero. I think it's dead though, and I doubt we'll see it again primarily because it takes up a lot of space and requires a much bigger bezel which reduces screen size.

The Hero was a pioneer for Androids, HTC has to keep the Hero name alive! I love my Hero, wouldn't mind my next phone being the big brother/sister of my current phone.

When is this out?

What do my fellow Dreamer's plan on getting when Upgrade day comes?

I've found one thing constant amoung the G1 hacking community. We don't wanna give up our phone. It's hard to find a good replacement for the best phone ever made. I'm sticking withT-Mo. Many say the Logical Path of Upgrade was G1-MT3G-MT3Gs-G2-G2X-MT4G-MT4Gs. Is this true with you?

I'm on AT&T, and probably will have to stay with them for awhile. I am planning to get Motorella ATRIX for my next phone. G1 will just become my primary ROM tester for you guys here at XDA.
Eventhough, I am not a DEV yet. I will keep this G1 of mine. I will definately have a use for it for sure.

DREAM --> VISION or DOUBLESHOT.
I.e., VISION is no longer available, so now its to DOUBLESHOT.
VISION and DOUBLESHOT are very similar phones. Doubleshot is basically an upgraded Vision -- dual core processor, better 3d, more ram, otherwise identical. But OH MY GOD is it a slick phone.
Kernel source is not yet available for DOUBLESHOT, so there is a problem with building AOSP for it (it is VERY heavily polluted with that disgusting "sense" crap), but there is a cooker in the doubleshot dev forum named "undeadk9" who has a decent de-crapified rom for the device.

Not true, the number row on the keypad is squished with the top row of letters.
This alone has stopped me from upgrading to MANY android phones (EG. Nexus one, G2)

Not true? WHAT's not true?
First off, N1 didn't even HAVE a keyboard.
Vision and Doubleshot keyboards are virtually IDENTICAL. I know -- I have BOTH (VISION = me, DOUBLESHOT = gf).
I also don't know what the F you're referring to by "squished"... that is total nonsense. They are 4 row keyboards (DREAM had 5) -- not squished, MERGED. Aside from the minor inconvenience of having to press "alt" to enable the numbers (double-alt to KEEP the numbers), the keyboards on these devices are ***VASTLY*** superior to DREAM's keyboard. I speak from ALSO owning a DREAM. The keyboard on it, though *better than nothing*, REALLY SUCKED. It is **REALLY PAINFUL** to try to actually use that horrible thing.
Next, the VISION TRULY IS the successor to the DREAM. I.e., its not VISION as in "SIGHT", its VISION as a SYNONYM to DREAM. DOUBLESHOT is practically IDENTICAL to VISION. Same LCD, same sensor, same keyboard... faster processor, more RAM, front facing camera. Crippled with sense though.
Its time for you to let it go. You're running a 3 year old phone. It was *marginally acceptable* for its time (it was actually somewhat out of date when it was brand new). It is TOTALLY OUT OF DATE now.

It's true, I don't wanna let go of my G1
When I bricked the 1st one, I bought another used one!
My issue is that I need a physical keyboard, and can't find one that has a keyboard as good as the G1, seems no one is making a 5 row keyboard device anymore
Didn't like the G2 keyboard feeling, plus it's quite heavy!
Is it possible to buy MyTouchSlide 4G without a plan ? ( I live outside the US )

My mt4g got the up date to 2.3.4gb and after that had error after error..

Mytouch 4G not on T-Mobile website anymore?

is it just me, or has our beloved HTC Glacier Mytouch 4G been removed from the T-Mobile website???

wow way to go tmobile. remove one of the best and most well loved phone there is >=(

was bound to happen. oh well, there's newer and better devices up.

removed to be replaced by that LG bullcrap...
way to go T-Mobile...

to be honest i have to disagree with newer and better devices. those stupid lg phones are awful. i have played with them and i had the g2x and there was not a single thing they did better in any way. i posted a few days ago about how the mt4g is the best phone i have ever had and my favorite comment was someone arguing about how the sgsII is better than the mt4g and someone replied that if you have to fight to defend a phone that is 3 generations newer with a lot newer technology, then the older phone automatically wins.
lg should stop making phones.
htc all the way

EDIT:
woooo looks like T-mobile put the MT4G back again! way to go T-mobile!

the gs2 is not three generations newer. it is one generation newer. and I don't see any possible defense for the mt4g against the gs2, it's simply a better device.

I wouldn't say its "better" Kim. Obviously throwing a phone that came out over a year ago up against a phone that's been around just a few months would be silly.
I have played with an SGS2, a real one, (Exynos). It was rooted and running a debloated stock ROM w/ some tweaks.
Moore's law states that computer power doubles every 18 months. Phones are doing it in about 12 - 14 it seems. Compare the specs between the two phones we're talking about.
With those specs there should be an awe-inspiring difference between the two - Noticeable almost immediately. There's not.
That's why we hail the MyTouch 4G. The ones that HTC managed to manufacture without serious defect (lol) freaking rock. It was, and still is special.

Just a funny comment. My neice had gotten a new mytouch a couple of weeks ago (LG version) and my wife says that her neice now has a better phone than us cause hers is the new mytouch. I told her that phone is not on the same par as glacier and i wouldnt trade for an lg mytouch even if they paid me.
One thing i do like about the lg mytouch though is that it is very light and no physical buttons. Thats more of a personal preference though.

lmao my friend has an iPhone 4S, he said it was better than mine, so we loaded up a game, Fruit Ninja to be exact, on both phones, and ran them. the Glacier owned by a landslide.
now some of you may be saying that it's "not accurate" since the iPhone sucks anyway, but here's another example. my dad got a Acer iconia A500 a few months ago, and we did a benchmark test on it. Glacier still did better.
this phone is AMAZING.

My touch Q?

Guys what's the difference between the Mytouch 4g and the Q, can they use the same firmware or no???

Mytouch 4G is made by HTC running HTC sense with "Mysense" overlay. It is an older but more powerful phone with more ram and a better screen.
The Q is made by LG running LG **** with a "Mysense" overlay. It is new but has horrible construction and the screen tends to be unresponsive.
Hit thanks if i have helped.
P.S. NO, you cant flash Mytouch 4g roms on the Q

So basically no one cares about the Q, and is forever never going to have a customer firmware?
THat really sucks, there are a lot of ****ty phones on this forum that have there own forum, why not the Q, at least you can root it for godsakes.

Should of done your research before you bought it.
hind sight is always 20/20.
If you want a phone with a lot of development then you need to 1) do research 2) buy a popular phone. not a cheap one.

doesn't matter I'll reject the shipment and once again by another phone on craigslist or ebay, I'll buy another Mytouch 4G, so I can have the EEPROM die on me again. This will be my 4th smartphone in a row. Whatever.

I'm not attacking you. In any way/shape/fashion or form. If i did, please point it out to me.
You're just coming across as that we are the reason the LG MyTouch has no development sector.
And we have nothing to do with that.

As my first post on this excellent forum I would like say, neidlinger, you helped me alot with which direction to go when I needed help with rooting my glacier(My Touch 4g). Some people just don't know what they are getting into with these devices. Sounds like OP has alot of $$$ to spend. I could use some lol. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

At least the LG MyTouch has CM7 with more roms in development.

I bought my daughter the Lg "Q" a few months ago and to be honest it's pretty compatible to the glacier (mine) as far as hardware is concerned.
The problem everyone is having here is the fact that there are more advanced devices coming to the market and for people that can't just shell out $500+ for a new device get shafted on the forums. It should be the other way around the phone companies guilt you into a more expensive device if they can the forums should support the community as a whole.
There are exceptions with devices that don't have the quality that others do but this device does everything the glacier does. There should be a vote to see if there's enough people with the device to make a forum for it that way no one gets left out without a chance to be heard at least and if there's not then it was given a chance to be denied for a valid reason.

Say whaaa! Dude you gotta let me get whatever it is ur smoking. My wife has a Q. I'm not gonna lie, the eye candy that the Q is rocking looks great but there is no way that that pos phone is comparable to the HTC mytouch. Hell my old HTC mytouch slide 3g ran better than the Q. And there are a couple threads dedicated to the LG MyTouch. Use the search function and you'll find them.

I'm not saying their exactly the same (even if that's what you got from it) I'm saying they are both within specs of each other you can also look for your self if you have both like I do, I don't use it or honestly haven't even touched it aside from buying it. I'm trying to say if there are as many people out there that would like a forum to work on it and it's enough for it to be worth looking into then there should be some system in place for voting on whether or not a forum gets put up.
Just because people don't have the money to bang out a spare $500 every time a new device comes out doesn't mean they should also get the shaft on a site that is solely community based.
Made my point, done.

I feel ya man, But as a rule of thumb HTC devices seem to always be supported better and longer on XDA, All the others maybe save for Samsung is always a crapshoot for development! And Its not just about specs. HTC hardware is just better known then LG's and has superior build quality. IF custom roms is your thing its best to research first to see if your phone has a forum and make sure it is a international phone. The more people that use it, the better chance of it being developed for.

My sister and niece have the mytouch q (i told my sis to get mt4g or 4g slide and she got the mytouch 4g that also slides...smh). They both hate it, and I don't like it either. It's laggy, ugly, and nothing compared to mt4g imo.

The q tuns way better then the MT 3g slide my mom had both... the LG and HTC 4gs have the same specs hardware wise. Its just you guys have better support on xdA.

Nice try, but not even close. The Mytouch 3g slide and 4g were OUTSTANDING phones... I still have them both. The mt4g is still one if the best phones out today. The mt4g slide was ok... And the mytouch q was a mess. That's just a fact. HW specs and/or amount of development has nothing to do with what makes a good phone if the specs aren't used properly.

My wife has the LG e739 and I have the htc mytouch 4G. The HTC is far superior in both build quality and processing. The LG is extremely slow. I even rooted it and took out all the bloated ware and it is still laggy and unresponsive about 100 percent of the time. May 11 is our upgrade date and we both are going to get the one s from tmo. I do however like the graphics on the LG. They did a great job making everything Look pretty but that phone is slow as crap.

My brother had the Q, & I find it odd that you like the graphics? That was the most obvious thing I noticed in the 1st 5 seconds I held it! Looked like the Optimus T. I just don't like LG's approach to the MyTouch. I think it was a poor effort & TMobile must have thought so as well. HTC is still superior, & I don't expect the Huwei MyTouch to be much better.
