Well it's been an adventure..... But my Nexus One finally got to the point where it's irritating me. (My Power Button stopped working.) I don't have insurance on it, anyways everything else is in perfect condition running Cyanogen Stable version. I don't know I've owned G1, Mytouch, Nexus, and I guess I just want something new for the New Year, I am trying to wait and see what new phones come out, but I preferably want something with a Front Facing camera. I was thinking of the Mytouch 4G, or the G2(but has no front camera)
What do you all think my next phone should be? I have Tmobile, I would like to sell my Nexus first before I buy my new phone (of course)
HD2 is dirt cheap
get that and NAND !!!
bam EVO what
At least contact HTC for a swap before the warranty runs out.

Oh that..eh I don't know I really want a new phone, maybe ill do this.. maybe its a easy procedure.
u bought the day of launch? thats how ur warranty is done? Also I got my wife a G2, the phone is great, i like it a lot. Just buy a Nexus S unless you want the LG Optimus 2X. I just dont see how a dual core could have a good battery.
I was thinking of the Mytouch 4G before the G2 for the front camera, when is the LG Optimus 2X suppose to launch??? Is it for Tmobile? And I bought the Nexus from a person on XDA while ago.
You do understand that HTC is warrantying these without the insurance, right?

No your from chicago too? Eh >_< ima PM you
1. Had the same problem with my first (bootloader unlocked) Nexus One. HTC replaced it in under 2 days. I sent it to them on Monday via UPS with their prepaid shipping label, and the replacement was on my doorstep Wednesday morning.
2. The MyTouch 4G is the only one on T-Mobile I'd consider a worthy replacement. If you go with an HD2, yes you get screen real estate, but you also get ****ty battery life, no front-facing camera, no guarantee of Gingerbread, let alone Honeycomb, and most importantly, no HSPA+.
3. The G2 is pretty rad. Bought for my wife, she loves it. She's a physical keyboard type, but I dislike the added bulk and weight, though the rest of the phone is quite solid. 800mhz 2nd gen snapdragon OC's to like 1.4Ghz if you want.
All-in-all, I'd recommend you do what I'm doing, which is to return your Nexus to HTC for repairs and/or fix it yourself with the aforementioned link, and then wait for the LG Optimus 2X before you decide.
Dual-core Tegra2, HSPA+, and 1080p recording make me not give a sh*t about any other phones coming out right now, tbh.

how is that possible? Your Nexus one's got without any doubts less than 1 year...so you must have warranty. Maybe not insurance...but warranty?
my mom just got a MT4G and its a sick little phone... I am not big on Sense but overall the build quality is great and the reception is solid as well. I still like the LED screen over the TFT but w/e... cannot have everything right?
I would honestly get you N1 fixed and then wait for all the new goodies to come out here in February... CES is in 3 days so you do not even have to wait that long to see what is in store for us...
Alright well then ill keep the Nexus, how much did it cost? I see that HTC is indeed covering damages without insurance or warranty I think.
LG Optimus 2X, when is that coming out? And is it Tmob?

I spent about 5 hours at Best Buy yesterday trying out all the Android's on every carrier. IMO the best phone out there is the Nexus S. Sure it's not perfect, but what it does have it excels at. Almost everything I loved about the N1 has been improved with the S. I love the pure google experience without all the crapware that comes loaded on carrier phones. Plus, the S will always get everything first. I won't leave Nexus but I'll be happy with the S until something better comes along

Unless you bought a stolen phone, it should still be covered under warranty.
HTC covers their devices for 1 Year and considering the N1 isn't a year old yet, you should still be covered (even if you bought it used).

I most certainly will my G1 is on it's death bed. I love stock android and this will have and get the updates first! I can deal with the lack of features and dual core can wait because in the next 2 years something better will come out. You can never beat technology! So who else will be getting this phone?
Me eventually.

I most likely will want another phone. Currently have the myTouch 3G slide.
I too am going to wait. I think Google/Sammy's partnership came late, and they attempted to give use a dual-core, but couldn't, and so rushed the single-core to their Nexus brand. Lack of HSPA+, especially, just seems backwards when all phones and carriers are moving toward "4G." It just doesn't make sense. I will hold off.
i'm still not 100%. i'd say i'm about 65% sure i want it right now. need to get to a best buy with a real working display model and use it for a while.
I should have mine on Wednesday of next week
Is it really that much better than the G2 or Mytouch4g to get? G2 has a keyboard SLCD, HSPA+, new gen snapdragon, and almost stock android. Mt4g also has HSPA+ and a new gen 1Ghz snapdragon.
I think the only reason to get the Nexus S would be for the Google updates. The specs really aren't mind blowing, they're high end, but nothing new.
So when it comes time to retire my trusty G1 I think I'll go with its successor the G2.
Although it is quite tempting to go with the Nexus S updates and SAMOLED are quite tantalizing.

Yes the mt4g is quite ugly. But I think the G2 has notable advantages over the Nexus S.
1. Keyboard
2. HSPA+
In all other things the Nexus S reigns supreme. That's what it's so tempting to get it. But then again coming from the G1 I do like my keyboard

I'm waiting for the end of the first quarter to get one of the big daddy's with there dual core processors. The nexus s seems very rushed in build and spec. I've got the feeling Google are trying to cash in on christmas. Even tho I really like the updates coming straight to the phone it's no way worth the money. Just can't wait until the end of the first quarter.
can't wait for my nexus s
no way would i get the g2 over it

Nothing is going to hold me back from buying this. And I m getting everything I need from the current generation phones. Will upgrade later if they (next generation phones) really have something good on the table to offer.
16GB enough for me. 720p will come, I m pretty sure. No HSPA+ in my country
LED notifications, we are not sure of it! And many other phones dont have a track pad.
Atleast I know whatever this phone has to offer will be "usable to fullest" bcos of good battery life (consider all the pitfalls of DHD) and XDA support
Overall should be a flawless phone with whatever is has to offer! If you are fine with its offering go for it. Else wait for another 3-4 months for the next generation phones

no led is confirmed. luckily you can use the app noled to get around it.
I have a G1 that is also in its last moments so i'm thinking about getting either Nexus S or MT4g.
I'm leaning more toward Nexus S because its vanilla android and will get the updates faster but also because I think that the community will embrace it more.

I think of the Nexus-S as a good upgrade to the Nexus-1 and I am debating about buying it or not. The Nexus One is the best phone I've ever had and when Google closed down their webstore I thought there would never be another pure Google phone again so I figured I would keep the Nexus-1 for 4 to 5 years (its that good) until it stopped working...
But that damn SuperAMOLED and 4' screen is an evil temptress!!! Sigh decisions decisions

To tell the truth i have used the vibrant for a month after the N1, the Vibrant felt a better phone, sure the plastic build don't help but it is nicely build and the plastic used in the vibrant is from high grade, the molds used by samsung must have been very expensive as the parts were so precise, yes people don't notice that but its there. And overall the vibrant was a nice solid piece.
HTC phones are heavier sure a nice heft is nice but weight does not equal quality, I.E N1 had the ****tiest digitizer, the power button sucks big time. The G2 has hinges problems, the MT4G has the LCD lottery and the FFC being not centered. I don't know why people don't mention that when they say things about HTC. It seems like they only have praise for them. For the record HTC warranty isn't any better than samsung. You have to send the phone in and wait 3 weeks. The only good warranty experience i had with them is the warranty swap of Nexus One but that is the ONLY phone they have such a program.

HTC never had hardware problems? Are you forgetting about the huge multi-touch issues on the majority of their Android devices up until the latest ones? A much huger ****up than Samsung software screwups. GPS is flawless on my Vibrant running JK2 and JK6 froyo leaks. Was on JI6 2.1 leak as well.

Maybe I'll just wait the 4 - 5 months for a Nexus-S to go on Craigslist and scoop it up

I replaced my first MT4G because of a dead pixel, now I found out that the second one has Inferior display after I did the comparison and the bottom of the phone creaks too. How many times do I have to try my luck now? I think I will give the NS a shot now.

I figure it would cost around 220 to do it with a upgrade so i figure i would be paying the same thing anyways.

So if anything we may be in luck with Mytouch 4G S. But nine months is such a short time to issue EOL. Where's the update anyway?

They have to make room for the Sensation. After thats out for awhile then they will probably release the g2 replacement. Besides, they probably have enough in insurance to cover the people with a g2.
You crazy if you going to get a G2, when Sensation and Galaxy s2 are coming out. Unless you need a keyboard, I see no reason to get it over the other two. Plus you can buy a S2 or sensation when it comes out and sell it on ebay and buy 2 or 3 used g2.

Reasons are simple:
I want a full keyboard,
The price is right (48.88 on upgrade at Wal-Mart)
I don't wanna wait for the Doubleshot,
I don't like the hardware specs of the Sidekick, nor do I want samsung.
Did I mention the price at wal mart? (Cost is a huge deal when you are supporting a family and a mortgage!)
On a happy note, 4g is starting to show up on phones in SE wyoming!
I cant believe this myself but sound like the G series maybe a thing of the past with ATT in the picture. I dont understand how can you drop your best phone! lol

The G2 is T-Mobiles freaking most reliable android phone weve carried since the day it came out. I work in one of the most high volume stores in the country and we get the G2 with issues atleast once per 3 weeks and we still manage to trouble shoot and fix the issue on the phone. We don't have any phone that compares to it. Its been 8 months or so since its release and it still rapes in sales . Amazing!!! All you idiots that complain about being on your 3rd or 4th phone. There's one thing we always say in store... "USER ERROR!!!!!!!".I had the phone one month before release and rocked it till about two weeks ago, I got the G2x...still rock solid. Punks!!!
hahaha he makes me feel proud about my good ol' G2
Damn, what the ****?? I don't understand why they're pulling the plug on the G2 when phones like MyTouch 3G Slide is still available.. If anything, do away with that one before you do it on the G2 which is by far a better phone in every single aspect than the MT3GS.
T-mobile needs to get their priorities in order. Mytouch 3G and 3G slide are still sold. They just put G1 on EOL last year I believe. G1 had 3 years of life. While we G2 users only get 9?

Hmm I'm trying to trade mine now for a Nexus S and every buyer wants at least $90 on top. What you said has got me thinking about holding on to it, since mine is in pretty good condition.
But yeah its sad to see the G2 gone. I think with the end of the G2 comes the end of the G series, especially if the the Tmobile buyout goes through.
I suspect one of the major reasons is the sheer number of hardware issues the device has faced - particularly with the screen. I'm on my third g2 in only 8 months and i handle my devices with care (unless you count stock OS which I gutted for cm7 ). Honestly, when i returned my g2 for warrant repair last time I was hoping they could replace it with a different device. Guess not - still, what this will do give those needing warrant repair a way out of the g2 hardware issues and boost the price for well maintained g2s on ebay.
I'm thinking this has to do with something an earlier poster said. The G series may be going away. Despite the G1 being the genesis of Android, nobody in the "mainstream" knows that. Ask an average joe what the first Android phone was, and I'll bet money they'll respond with "the Droid". Marketing does a lot.
I just find it strange how the G2 has been killed off prematurely and how the G2X is "temporarily out of stock". Throw in all of LG's manufacturing woes and the impending release of the MyTouch 4G slide, and the G series looks to be in trouble. Knowing T-Mobile, they'll want to highlight the "consumer-friendly" (and really cheesy, IMO) MyTouch line of phones. Just a theory... I actually hope I'm wrong.

I don't see any particular reason for them to continue with the HTC VISION. The HTC DOUBLESHOT (very soon) is basically the same exact phone with a CPU upgrade and a front facing camera... possibly more RAM and internal storage as well. The screen is identical, probably the exact same part, the keyboard is very very similar, etc. Probably the same mainboard with a few different parts soldered onto it, and a different casing.
Also I wonder how much of this has to do with a push to retire phones lacking FFC and NFC - increasingly becoming standard components for android devices.
does anyone know if they are replacing warranty issues from tmobile, or warranty claims with asurion for the G2 with the myTouch4g slide?
I hope so, I would love to get a free upgrade. My screen has been slowly messing up and I have been waiting for this to be verified before I call in for warranty replacement.
If anyone knows it to be true or false it would be great to know either way.

Wow.. i don't know where u are getting your info -- hopefully your not dreaming - !!!. I wanted to ask, would u think a fair trade / upgrade / exchange if a mytouch 4g (no slide) was given for a G2 ? And if not - how much cash should be added.
Aside from the fact of the keyboard of course...
Thanks
Definitely not, at least not as of today at 5 oclock. I just talked to a tmo rep about my phone having issues and they are sending me a G2 replacement tomorrow. I asked half joke/half serious if they could send me a mytouch and the guy laughed and basically told me they aren't in the same league. An 800 single core vs a 1.2 dual, a pretty standard basic camera vs an 8mp one with HDR built in. Yeah, it'd be nice but keep on dreaming.
Exactly there is going to be no way in hell that you would get that phone as a replacement especially since has not been released yet. Maybe in another 6 months but then g2 out of warranty by then.
Any idea what the partial upgrade price would be?
I talked to the local tmo store and after giving them the "I've been a customer since 2000, blablabla" spiel they said they might be able to work out a replacement deal once the MT4GS hits stores on the 27th. I told them I loved my G2 but that I was concerned about "all of the problems" it has been having (in quotes because mine has been solid since day 1) and that I wanted a more future-proof device (does that exist in the technology industry?).
just talk to them.. they're human beings. they have policies, and policies can be bent to make the customer happy, especially if you pay your bill on time and have a good track record with them on not losing devices, not many replacements, etc.
I talked to the loyalty department. They wouldn't give me one penny off, I've been a member for 6+ years, never missed a payment, had one warranty replacement on my G2. I mentioned "all the problems" ive been having with my G2 and soforth and they told me to eat ****.
This whole myTouch 4G slide as a G2 replacement thing has been taken out of context I believe. Don't get me wrong, I would love to get upgraded to the mt4gs but I seriously doubt that is ever gonna happen. Even though our beloved G2's have been labled 'end of life' there are still hordes of refurbished ones that asurion and tmo will use for warranty replacements rather than lose money replacing it with a next generation phone.
Edit: @Kaczman: the last line of your post made me LOL hard... thanks for that

Tell them you want options? Some rep will eventually offer it to you.. i mean i use my phone for Personal, Business, and School..And dont want a ****ty G2 replacement anymore especially when they started charging 5 dollars every time you get it replaced..Might use the "I Might Go To a Different Company/Threat to Cancel"

I would personally call that a downgrade :/ It's essentially the same hardware without a physical keyboard.... The screens could (arguably) be considered better and you have a bit more ram but tell me one time you couldn't run something on your G2 because of lack of ram because in a year with mine it has never happened.

I have ran sense 3.0 roms on my G2, and once I changed my hboot to the dz, it ran flawlessly. Sense based roms just aren't my bag though, I prefer the speed and fluidity of asop builds personally

Not Exactly..
Main Goal Is To Get the 4gSlide..(One Step Closer You can say,Since they wont be able to offer the G2 anymore since its EOL)(They Granted Me time to Play With the Phone and can change my mind)
Id Rather Get A Brand New Mytouch4g Then a Refurbished G2(Had Many issues with the 4 replacements i have received)..
I love my G2 but Time For a Change..
Its Bittersweet
Man. My 2010 jetta, such a pos. They don't make that anymore either. I should go demand a 2011. how did this planet get full of such crap entitlement brats lately.

Definitely not, at least not as of today at 5 oclock. I just talked to a tmo rep about my phone having issues and they are sending me a G2 replacement tomorrow. I asked half joke/half serious if they could send me a mytouch and the guy laughed and basically told me they aren't in the same league. An 800 single core vs a 1.2 dual, a pretty standard basic camera vs an 8mp one with HDR built in. Yeah, it'd be nice but keep on dreaming.

they're still throwing around the MT3GS so I don't see that happening any time soon... Would be nice though
While I understand what you guys are doing, if you want a new phone go buy one. HTC put out a great product, don't call TMobile making up issues and making it seem like a pos just to get a free upgrade.
We all love to stick it to "the man", but grow up guys. Off contract phones are expensive, but if you are that impatient that's what they are there for.

My phone got stolen and I just realized the g2 is discontinued. My sisters galaxy s got stolen too but got a galaxy s4g. But for me... what I am going to get? What would tmobile consider an equal phone? Thanks guys
They have plenty of refurb G2's to give out still. Discontinued just means they aren't selling them new anymore.
If you're really lucky you'll get a MT4G Slide.
Mytouch4g. Download wheresmydriod once you get a new phone. Saved my ass once it got stolen

Oh, but how come my sis got the gs 4g? Shouldn't they have like a lot of them too?
And a refub g2 aww man ahaha lol and yes next time where's my droid will be the first app on my next phone lol
they will not give you a G2....my friend was given a choice of 2 phones...one was the mytouch slide 4g...the other one I think it was the sidekick...
I would rather take a refub g2 than a mt4g slide or sidekick, man this blows lol
you can find a brand new G2 on ebay still sealed in the box, not refurb but brand new, just have to keep your eyes open.
I bought one on ebay about 3-4 weeks ago for $325 factory sealed!
Insurance won't pay for a phone from eBay... but I wouldn't worry too much about it. Refurbished phones are 'like new.'

I would also get the IMEI blocked so the idiots who stole it are SOL!

I actually like the MyTouch 4G Slide. It's been rooted for a couple of months and we're starting to see alpha builds of CyanogenMod already. Read the reviews for yourself.

That makes no sense AT ALL.
The DOUBLESHOT is practically the same phone as the VISION. Just with a faster CPU, more RAM, better camera, front facing camera.

It makes no difference anyway, it is trivial to change the IMEI once its been gfree'd.
Next time, install the app called Prey - it is like Lojack for your phone - it will use GPS, text records, calling patterns and even the phone's camera to quickly locate your phone and then you can go over and pick it up from the thieves with the police with you and they will take the bad guys to jail!

ummmm..... not really - the DOUBLESHOT (myTouch 4G slide) is a good phone, but it's no G2 - it's made cheaper and less elegant than the G2 (cost savings) and has more bloat, so not really faster in real life, it's actually slower! - and it has worse battery life, and more megapixels doesn't mean a better camera, and with the tiny sensor that these phones have, anything over 5 megapix is a WORSE camera.
and the G2 has much better developer support here on XDA - I wouldn't trade my new G2 for a new DOUBLESHOT
ever wonder why the G2 has a substantially higher user rating than the DOUBLESHOT on both GSM arena & phonescoop?
Yup I've tried the double shot and like I said I rather have the g2 refub or if they offer me the doubleshot or the sidekick I can wait a week or two, save up and buy a new in box on ebay or maybe a used one in good shape or upgrade to a slate like the gs2
the reviews says it all it has a dualcore yes but is much slower than any other dual core out there and frankly like others said the my line sucks, it is made cheaply, feels cheap on the hand, and with sense bs, even worse, and the developement is just starting too, and I'm too used to cyanogen goodness, also to me fron facing camera is something I wouldn't use really, I'm not obsessed with my self to take pics every 5 seconds or ever video chat on my phone. Lol
F that your rooted next time install cerberus!
Not familiar wirh cerbelus, that would be like the other apps, also what if they change the sim card? Would still find it?
How about the htc sense? Can we detect our phone if they already change the sim & no using data? If im not mistaken, htc sense only can be use when we using data.

Please update this with your options that t mobile give you. I am in the same boat. My phone is acting funny and mY warranty expires soon
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I'm gonna go tomorrow after class to see what I get, and ill will let you guys know but it we try to think reasonably, they will offer me of "similar" characteristics, like it states on my warranty so it will probably the sidekick or mt4g slide let's hope not the lady at the tmo store here knows me and hopefully she can work something out
