Mytouch HD/4G or stay with G2?

Everyone knows the Mytouch HD is coming out soon, but been really taking a toll on me. Stay with my G2 or sell it and get the MTHD. I love my G2 don't get me wrong. The main reason of thinking about getting the phone is the front face camera. So I would be able to Skype with my girlfriend whenever she moves to florida. What would be your reasons to stay with the G2 or get the MTHD.

I am torn in the same way. G2 or mytouch, I guess it will depend on root. Mytouch has a lot of crap I don't want, sense, kids zone... Would be great to run stock. Don't really care about the FFC, I am sure I would never use it, I hate taking phone calls, why would I need to see the person?

The decision is ultimately up to you.
My opinion is that if you value your GF, and the time you spend with her, more than your phone, go for it. List your pros and cons of each and make your decision.
Good luck there.

I would stay with the G2 simply because it just came out. I would like to make an advice, wait and see what the device does before JUMPING all over this thing. Front facing camera? Cant use that unless you are on 4g or wifi. Today it's useless.
2011 it will start to be a big trend merely because all the 4g networks are going in to place. And if you don't live in a city,well,that front facing camera is definitely useless. Are you a gamer? Who needs a duo core processor in a phone?

I think the g2 has a front face camera. Look at the top left of the screen. Could that be a camera?

Almost every modern phone has that, its the sensors (Proximity, Ambient Light,etc). How can a phone have a "secret" front facing camera...rofl

Espresso aside, the specs are better on the myTouch HD/4G. (Well that's unless you absolutely need a keyboard...) The ROM port for the Nexus has had reports of sheer speed much like the G2. (There's a kicker...) My one and only problem with the new myTouch is the blocks around the apps. I could care less about everything else because I actually happen to enjoy Sense and their new fastboot as well. Included on the new myTouch.

both will have crazy root locks i say get rid of ur g2 asap and grab a nexus still the best phone on the market this root stuff is completely bogus we buy a phone and we cant even customize it i paid 530 for this should have returned it when i could getting a nexus tomorrow yeah mytouch 4g has a front facing camera and processor a little bit better is that enough to move to a phone with not perm rooot heeeeeeeeeeeeeel nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'm still within my 14 day period on my G2. I've been seriously thinking about sending it back, and waiting for the Mytouch HD. However, I was just looking at pictures of it on Facebook. And all of my memories of the Slide came back. The phone looks less sturdy and more "toyish" than the G2. It's got a very plastic look to it. It's not going to be running "stock" Android... etc... The build quality was not that great on the Slide. I'm going to stick with the G2. It's got it's issues, but overall in my opinion it's the better device.

Im sticking with the G2 (probably)
I work for T-Mobile and am getting a MyTouch HD free as part of my position at my store (MyTouch Champion) the same way I got the MyTouch Slide I was using before ordering the G2. I prefer the Vanilla Android software on the G2 over the Espresso Sense software on the MyTouch.
This is mostly a personal preference, and I don't mind Sense I just prefer Vanilla Android. Overall I would think the day to day performance between the G2 and the Mytouch HD will be equal. The Mytouch HD will likely benchmark a little faster since they basically have the same processor with the G2 clocked at 800Mhz and the Mytouch HD at 1Ghz.
Overall pick the one you like. I think they will both be nice. I'll post back when I get the Mytouch HD and have some hands on time.

I just got my g2 today coming from a vibrant. And something I noticed right off the back is that there's no lag. I would probably just stick to my g2 but idk about the mythouch hd whatever is going to be called looks good reminds me somewhat of the nexus.

[Q] how is it, g2 owners?

Hey guys!!!
I'm just wondering what you all think of the g2. I played with the MT4G, and I like it. However, with gingerbread proally coming out soon (PROBABLY) , that'll slow updates, for the MT right? I like the keyboard on the G2 though.
I use facebook a lot
I text a lot
I like more customization
i'll probably root, overclock, and flash a custom rom when a lot of them become available.
mySense seems allright!
What phone should I get, and how do you like it?
I'm also worried that it's been a few months since it came out, and its not even at the front at my store anymore. I don't want to sign a contract and want another one before 3 months.
thanks!

I'm loving it right now and I haven't even rooted it yet. The keyboard is what sold it over the mytouch though. I'm kinda waiting for gingerbread before I go ahead and root. The hinge might turn you away though. It's not too bad on mine but some others at the store were petty bad.

thanks for your speedy reply!
haha thanks! well, i like it. i just am deciding if i like mysense, and if its worth losing that amazing keyboard. though the screen is only .1 inch smaller, the mytouch screen seems way bigger! i like it in my hand.
you said the hinge wasnt that bad? the one i played with was really sturdy. i see how it could become loose though.

By the way its not "mySense" it's called "expresso" and it's pretty much just a nasty version of HTC Sense.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.

oh, thats interesting! your probably right, but why is it called my'Sense on the forums? so its espresso?! okay. thanks!
anyway, how do you like your g2?

If you're going to root anyways, it's up to you what phone you like best. Gingerbread will probably end up merged into CM and CM is being ported to the MT4G.

You know what's good? You can make it look exactly like mt4g with 1.8mhz overclock.

I will NEVER own another piece of MyTouch garbage! Tmobile says the mytouch line is their flagship of phones, what a joke! If you buy the MT4G, you'll get updates a year or two later.
Besides the G2 is by far a better phone. Yes, I have used both including a nexus one and I feel IMO, the G2 is a better quality, built better and looks 100% better than the plastic MyTouch line.

I'm totally in love with my G2.. people told me that since i had never had an android phone that I'd want to get something more user friendly like the mytouch's mysense ui, but i like stock android and i don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. The hinge on mine is pretty sturdy so i have no complaints

mt4g looks like a cheap kids toy/ fake wanabe i-phone with crap sense- everything from the advertising to the appearance of it is repulsive (to me) the specs are awesome though. G4 is a worthy sucessor to the G1, in a class by itself, and i agree with the reviews about it having that "luxury car" feel. do what I did, get a g4, perm root it and put the real z sense rom on it, i'm sooo happy. iv had MANY phones, love the google integation, free gps!! this phone feels anything but cheap. as far as samsung goes, i'll reserve my comments, i just wish they would stick to making tv's

My girlfriend is getting jealous of my G2..She's just mad that she can't hold my attention in the same way it can...its Glorious!

G2's awesome, absolutely love it, and I'd dare say it's one of the best android phones out on the market right now and will be getting official updates long before phones with loloverlays.
That being said, if Sense is your thing, get the G2 anyway and flash any of the Desire Z sense-based roms floating in the dev section. Sense 2 > that espresso garbage on the mytouch line (and it's fast on this phone, which was nice).

I haven't had any experience with the MT 4G. But I can say the G4 is awesome. Could not be happier with it. I don't plan to root because I feel temp root is enough for my uses. But now that we have perm root it opens up so many options.
The only gripe I have with it is a slight discoloration of the soft molded plastic parts. But I don't know if everyone is experiencing this. I bought a case so don't notice any more.
I was one of the ones that had no issues from the very beginning. My hinge is decent and has never caused a problem. No random reboots etc.
Hope this helps.

Mixed Feelings
The G2 is an absolutely fantastic phone when it has strong signal or WiFi. Since the OTA, it has been stable & the memory (despite being less than 1/2 of that advertised) feels limitless.
However, the G2 behaves like a screaming 2 year old when signal is low. I don't know if it is T-mo or the phone or some combination. Apps start crashing, phone long pauses, wild fluctuations of the signal meter. It becomes absolutely unbearable. My problem is that both office and home seem to qualify as "low signal areas" - despite sometimes showing "3 bars".
If you buy it, take it on some very critical trial runs in the first 2 weeks to be absolutely sure that it will be OK in all of your stomping ground. Don't "move in" and get attached. I kept telling myself things would get better - and now I'm stuck with a very frustrating piece of hardware !

Newb coming from TP2 versus myt4g and modding

Hey members,
Newb here to the forums and wanting to get regular with posting and such. I was on sprint users and have moved over to tmobile on a family plan and signed up during the FREE PROMOTION. I got 3 lines for Wife, MIL, and Me. We went with 2 my touch 4g for the ladies and I picked up the G2.
I was really sad to see that rooting would be very tricky using ADB compared to EVO like my brothers. I found a quick and easy method using terminal and preset images. I loaded up nightly build for cyanogen vision build 37. Overclock to 1.3ghz and using 1500mhz EVO battery modded. I plan to pick up a mugen battery but wanted to use what i had lying around the house for Sh*ts and giggles.
I have 12 more days left to swap out for any other model in store and only thing that looked decent was mytouch4g. With the latest roms and slight overclock i am happy with performance and build quality (wish hinges were slight bit stronger and held in place). Should I bother looking at any other models in the next 12 days. Seems like all the next gen phones will be out in next 2-4 months and the deal i got was really nice. I paid $100 up front for each phones and with that we got free accessories, 15% off monthly bill and free activation. The kicker is we get $200 back in mail in rebate per phone so that should help with modding costs
Any recommendations at all on MIUI rom versus a decent Cyanogen rom that i should try next or any other rom for that matter. I was very glad that with those 4 links i was able to be up and running in matter of couple hours and was able to spend the rest of my time with baby boi versus ADB
thanks

vision nightly build 37
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=vision

I have both the G2 and the MT4G. Both are amazing phones with excellent hardware (minus them stupid hinges). Right now the mytouch is my weapon of choice, but it took a long time for that to happen. I still use my G2 here and there. Both are rooted with Cyanogen nightlys. My best advice to you would be play with your wifes phone here and there. do some comparisons of what you like to do with the phones. One major factor is ffc vs real keyboard. Personally I would pick the keyboard cause I don't know many people who really are gonna get that much use outta the ffc. I mean its cool but how often is it really goin to get used. The reason I am using the mytouch though is because of it's 768(or something like that) RAM. G2 comes with only 512(I believe). This offers more more functionality for what I like to do with my phones and its future. It is a very tough decision, and good luck with whichever you choose.
On a side note, I am somewhat disappointed in the G2 only because the G1 was so iconic and the G2 just seems like a semi-improved nexus1. Plus the G1 was a class of it's own whereas the G2 has a twin called the desire z. A phone with that type of history/background should be another single Icon. This is just my opinion though. The phone is great for what it is.

I would like to correct your g1 statement the g1 is actually a triplet having the dev 1(android site) and the htc dream(Europe)http://mobilenewz.net/2009/02/google-blocking-paid-market-apps-from-dev-phone-1-users/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Dream
but then again the G2 and Dezire z are like good twin and bad twin (hence Stock and Sense)

I love my g2 except for my first one had a busted hinge and the replacement they sent the phone wouldn't stay shut. It had the loosest hinge.
My case I got the g2 for a business device because I email a lot and wanted a physical kb (and not the limitations of a blackberry) but I now worry about my 3rd replacement being a possible dud too. I guess ill wait and see.

@TakoLuffer Thanks for the correction. Although I still feel that the G2 is a little disappointing. But that is just my 2 cents. It is a great phone, don't get me wrong. To me it just seems it comes up short to what it could/should have been.

G2X

My wife is having her phone replaced and they offered her to choose from the Sidekick 4G or the G2X. She chose the G2X. How does it compare to the Mytouch 4G?

Well hardware wise the G2x is better than the MT4G in every aspect except for the lower RAM, but that's not a problem as the G2x doesn't run Sense ROM's.
Only disadvantages I can think of from the G2x compared to the MT4G is that MIUI isn't as stable on the G2x. Also, if your wife enjoys Sense then that'd be a problem of course as only HTC phones can run Sense.

g2x is my fave still right next to the galaxy s 2

in no way shape or form does the g2x compair to the mt4g. i have had all three of those phones (current mt4g) and i still regret the day i traded my first mt4g. trust me with how bad lg is for support and how many issues the g2x has it is not a good phone at all. no support whatsoever. yes it is fast but it has so many fc's its not worth it. if your wife wants a phone that she can OC and get a high quadrant standard than yes go with the g2x but i can assure you it will never live up to an htc.

Completely opinion. I like the G2x more than the MT4g because it has better hardware, a nicer screen, and I think it feels much better. It does have quite a few issues so OP don't be surprised if you need to exchange it a couple times but eventually it should work fine. I've already done my rant on HTC devices so I don't really want to type it all out, just stick with the g2x and you'll be fine.

That's pretty much been my exact experience. The G2X screen is quite a bit nicer, and it does feel a bit snappier overall, but the MT4G is no slouch, and a better phone overall; it's much, much, much more reliable than the G2X.

I have both phones I prefer my g2x the screen on the mytouch bothers me kind of washy color and running games side by side no comparison. And try a couple roms I have had the same g2x since April

Everyone that is complaining about the mt4g screen please go look up on you tube mt4g screen compairson. I personally have had one of the crappy screens and my current mt4g with the sony superior screen and it is much nicer than the old one. I can see it from every angel and the glare is greatly reduced.
Not trying to cause fights here, just want to make everyone aware of the difference.
Also I would much rather have single core with 750 mbs of ram rather than dual core with 512.

And op you will have problems with the g2x and since this phone is for your wife, I doubt your or her will want to deal with these issues. I can assure you, it will need to be sent back at least once so if you do go with it, expect for your wife to be phoneless for at least a few weeks.

I had to go through 5 MT4G's to finally get the good screen and good eMMC. But then of course after time button started to get creaky and the touch screen started to have that infamous lag that a lot are having.
Traded it for a G2x and am still on the 1st G2x and absolutely no problems.
I loved the MT4G and always will, if you get a perfect one you'll be happy with it.
I know the G2x has had it's problems, but it seems as if the newer batch has been good to most people.
But if you take a perfect MT4G vs a perfect G2x, then I think it's little to no contest. G2x has better hardware from processor, screen, and all the way down to the speaker quality especially paired with a voodoo sound kernel.
And, the extra RAM on the MT4G is only useful if you run Sense. Other than that 512mb's on the G2x is plenty enough for running CM7 and such.
Again, I love and have owned both phones. I just like the G2x a little bit more. But to each his own.

T mobile out of G2 warranty phones!

Warranty phone replacement. they sent me two replacements both not acceptable. one the keyboard was messed up and the other the sd card "cage" was messed up.
15 minutes with tmobile and they offer me a sidekick 4g as a replacement for my G2. I laugh and him and tell him that's not going to work. I tell him i am not a 17 year old girl and that that phone is not even in the same league as the HTC G2. Supervisor requested. 30 minutes later and he still offers me a side kick. Supervisor requested again. 45 min i am able to get my G2 again when they have them in stock. Not sure when. Supervisor demanded and now i'm getting really rude. 55 minutes with tmobile and still no supervisor but now i am offered a HTC Sensation. I'll live with that. Though i am sad to have to part ways with my G2. I really had no want to get rid of it. Guess it is what it is.
This happened today from 11am to 12pm. Just an FYI.

I'm pretty sure there was a few available online few weeks back, Try ordering online you might have better success or ebay could be another option.

This was for warranty replacement. Not going to buy a new phone while the current one has warranty.

Wow! That was a pretty good deal you struck! however, I like my DZ better than My wife's Sensation. I think the DZ is more practical.
sent from my dz

Basically they gave you a hard time because they were trying to get rid of old hardware and you wouldn't accept it, so you ended up getting a hardware upgrade for free(yes upgrade, aside from the physical keyboard the hardware is better).
I went through the same thing with Bell getting replacements for two Dexts, none for replacements they tried to give me Blackberries :/ I wouldn't accept and fought and ended up with two Desire Z's Shouldn't need to fight about it, its their problem not ours if they cant/won't keep hardware....
sent from my Desire Z using XDA premium app

the lack of physical keyboard doesn't bother me since i never use it. I got the G2 because it was basically stock android and tmo told me they weren't going to release a nexus s 4g. Trying to stays true AOSP. It looks like it will be harder to stay AOSP with the sensation but with the help of devs in that forum i'll figure it out. They still have nowhere near the development that the G2 has. and i am a flash whore so that might get annoying. Guess its time for me to learn some dev skills.
and yes the sensation IS an upgrade. All i wanted was a shinny new to me G2. but once they offered me a sidekick i knew i would hold out for the sensation.

My G2 kicked the bucket last week and they sent me a refurbished one with a broken MicroSD slot (Not sure if it was the same as the OP's). I called them immediately and without even needing to escalate it they said they're out of G2's and had to replace it with a different phone of my choice. It was either the MyTouch 4G Slide, LG Optimus Q or the Sensation.
Guess they're really running out of G2s and are just handing out upgrades now.

Hmmm. My G2 is doing the stupid cardock crap non stop. Maybe I will replace it with a Sensation. I'm due for an upgrade anyway, so why not get the sensation for free until the HTC One X or SGSIII hits shelves.
Guess I have to unroot and return this phone back to stock.

Everyone should shift over to the MyTouch 4G Slide!!!
Development is really starting to pick up on that phone. It has been officially added to the Virtuous Team lineup as well, not to mention the slew of new roms that have popped up in the past 2 months.
Made the switch about a month ago and it's a great phone. Liking it more everyday. The G2 has some serious growing pains coming its way. It will handle ICS, but we are already starting to reach the limit of the hardware. If I wanted to do anything intensive (GTA 3, running MANY apps), you could tell the phone was struggling at times. And this was on gingerbread. With ICS running in the background, I can only assume that it will get worse. That's why I jumped ship.

I think that we are going to see some really good ICS roms soon now that Qualcomm has finally released proper GPU driver binaries for the chipset. Just because you're seeing problems with ICS right now doesn't mean that these problems won't be fixed in the future. You have to remember, all the ICS roms running on the G2 right now are in Alpha or Beta stages, and aren't full, proper releases yet.

The 4G Slide is one of the best qwerty androids out. And judging by how often they come out, it will be for quite some time. You won't regret it. It is everything the G2 should have been under the hood

I'll admit the MT4g Slide is a great phone. Who knows, the htc one x ia rumored to be the "G4X" maybe we'll see a G4 soon.
