My main issue with the mytouch 4g was that it had way too much bloatware & the android OS was draining the battery real quick but once rooted all thats gone : )
its a pretty descent phone,its sturdy,has some weight to it doesnt feel like itll break in ur hands lol...

With some Gingerbread ROMS already out and very polished, like RoyalGinger there's no reason it wouldn't handle any app that comes out in the coming months. The phone is quite fast as it is running at the stock clock speed of 1Ghz, and with the phone being able to be overclocked all the way up to 1.8Ghz there's lots of potential. I actually ran mine continuously overclocked to 1.5Ghz without any ill effect, but I took it down to 1.2Ghz because 1.5Ghz was just unnecessary and might actually rob me of some battery life during the day. It also has 768MB of RAM, which is more than most other flagship phones offer, like the G2x, that thing only has 512MB of RAM. Solid performance beyond the stock 1Ghz speed, plenty of RAM, and VERY polished and fully functional Gingerbread ROM's pretty much make it as futureproof as it can possibly be.

Y r so many people selling in XDA marketplace then? I don't really get it tbh. Looks like areally good phone tbh. I will keep this for quiet some time.

Well its gonna have gingerbread soon confirmed by HTC thats a good sign if u dnt want to root : ) I think it can keep up with upcomin apps for a year or so.... its a stable phone I put this phone thru hell I flashed alot of roms & modifications,normal everyday gettin out the car & phone drops but phone still goin strong so it should last..... Right now these dual-core phones are comin out so single core phones will pretty much die off....

I forgot to say that even at 1.5Ghz it still made it through a typical day with moderate use, and that was with a stock-based ROM, with something like RoyalGinger there's no question it would run for 14+ hours at 1.5Ghz under normal usage. This phone is a true powerhouse.

Probably people leaving T-mobile or trying to sell their phones to get a G2X, which from what I can see on the G2X forum is quite buggy right now. People report random reboots and issues with backlight bleeding on the screen on the G2X. I was thinking of getting one, but I'll pass on the G2X. I'll keep my eye on the HTC Sensation when it comes out, the main thing that attracts me to the Sensation is the new version of Sense and the bigger screen. However, I'd be perfectly happy to run my mt4g for the next two years.

Im running royalginger & I get easily with moderate use +12 hours overclocked at 1.3 ghz which is all basically u need,phone was fast out the box

No cons. At all. Solid build, VERY fast(never had a lag), HSPA+ 4G,etc. etc.

I love this phone but if u ate worrying about 2 yyears might as well get a dual core for now if.u want a mytouch phone I suggest to wait for the mytouch 4g slide or if u don't prefer the keyboard than the HTC.sensation which is rumored to be released June 8th

My biggest complaint is the speaker, sounds like rocks in a tin can. If you run cm. or cm. based roms the dsp manager will probably help the sound.

I haven't read any of this but I own the Mytouch and I had a vibrant for about 6 months. Pros of the vibrant: screen,16gb internal, has a better gpu. Pros of Mytouch. CPU alot more snappy, overclocking is alot more easy. On the vibrant 1.4 was the fastest oc but it always crashed. Max quadrant on my Mytouch I got a 3200 oc at 1.83 but normally I stay at 1.43 get about 2600 with the vibrant highest I got was 2200 oc at 1.4. I would say if you want a good phone now go for the Mytouch if you can wait go for the galaxy s 2 . That will be Samsung at its finest! 1.2 dual core.... dont get me started

U wont understand. Devs of the galaxy will. Toichwiz is a whole new system. It merged itself with the system. Like HTC sense. You can't simply delete the files. The system is dependent on it and will result in a boot loop. That's the touchwiz launcher you can remove but not touchwiz itself.

Could explain why my vibrant was still slow haha

So as I read is a good switch... I have the opportunity to pay $40 and made the exchange from a Vibrant to HTC my touch.
Obviously I will miss the screen, but besides that the HTC is much better..
For example, I don't have GB, I don't have GPS, I don't have CM7, I don't have camera flash, I don't have FFC, I don't have auto focus...
With the switch will be resolved?
PS. I can't wait for S II but it will be expensive at the beginning.

MIUI Rom for Fascinate?

Any chance we could see this ported to the fascinate?
Yes we will, it will be based off of Zenulator's build if I get his permission to do so. Just got to wait until 2.2 becomes available.
Then will try to tackle the HTC Ace build afterwards with help from Jamezelle but that will probably take awhile, dont know how Sense will function with the Samsung hardware as opposed to the Omap that Droid has based on Jamezelle's work.

MIUI will be pretty straightfoward, not any hardware integration like Sense is so its mainly pushing the framework over with a couple modifications. The main issue has been the language locale but they have fixed and patched that already.
Sense will take forever, probably will never get completed all the way unless a custom RIL is finished, everything else takes time.

Glad to hear it! I'd port it myself if I had the skills sadly my skills end at adb and flashing ROMs I'll be more then happy to donate though once it comes about it's the least I can do.
MIUI FTW! Glad to hear that's getting worked on and really could care less about Sense otherwise I would've bought an Incredible. Thanks for the work though! Mucho appreciated!

I completely agree! I don't know why everyone is so obsessed with Sense yet doesn't buy HTC devices. Then asks devs to do the impossible I mean we all know how well porting it to the Droid went. I'm extremely excited to see all of the custom ROMS that the devs are going to come out with!
Incredible owner here.
Ive started following the fascinate section because my wife will be getting one soon and i cant wait to get my grubby hands on it. I love MIUI on my phone and would really like to put it on hers. Hope it gets done! Good luck Devs!!
I put MIUI on my spare Droid 1. There are some cool things about it with most of the cool features residing in the stock launcher. Therein lies the problem. The MIUI launcher is laggy even when I'm overclocked to 1.25ghz.
Now I'm not saying my fascinate can't handle it better with the hummingbird and extra ram BUT I will say there will need to be some optimization first. If I have to use launcher pro plus to get a smooth launcher with MIUI, I will pass.

My friend has been running MIUI for days and hasn't had any issues with the ROM itself as far as bugs go, he's also seeing significant gains in battery life. His phones been unplugged for 24hrs with 60% of battery left with pretty decent usage. Are you running the latest version?
where can i get this and try it
Jamezelle tweeted he has miui booted on fascinate still buggy though.

MIUI < CM6... Kaos is doing CM6/CM7 already . End. The only thing cool about the miui rom for other phones is the pulldown toggles. CM like i said before, copied that a few weeks after the miui rom came out on the nexus one, then we had the toggles on CM so i went back. Miui rom has an option to turn down your cpu clock speed as a toggle, but i use setcpu to do that when i know im not going to use the phone like that i turn it down to 600, but i need 1.2 ghz kernel for there to be a 600 so right now i just use 800 all the time unless im gaming ... no reason to use the extra 200 mhz ... it just eats battery faster. and these kernels aren't oc'd and uv'd on froyo... so until then... 800/200 runs sweeeeet. keeps that 100 (where i get no signal) off my charts
MIUI is a more user friendly interface so some people may like it.

My vibrant took on a g2 in speed test and blew it away

Yesterday my wifes friend got a g2 .I took a look at it and was like this is cool , then I started using it. I didn't know that a g2 had almost as much, if not more lag than a stock vibrant .nerov3 put that g2 to shame. The owner of said g2 was like why is my phone so slow? I was like its a combo of it being slow, and mine being super fast she went to t mobile today and got a vibrant!!! stating the only thing she will miss is the flash camera. now ive got to mod her phone thank goodness for xda and tw !!

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I've held my sisters g2 and my cousins verizon droid 2 next to my rooted and lagfixed vibrant to compare speeds. My vibrant would load pages just as fast and most times faster than both. Then I compared the speeds of those other 2 phones to my wifes stock vibrant and got the same results. I would run the speed test app on the g2 and my vibrant at the same time and the g2 would score the higher number every time. You would think it being an hspa+ phone it would be quicker with the web browsing but it is just not the case. Those phones are nice phones as well and i wouldn't mind having them, but there is some misinformation going around the interwebs, especially when they start using tests like quadrant standard and the speed test app to measure performance. When it comes to real world use, the vibrant is just as good.

Uh there isn't a best or worst! There is only opinion's. But if you want the highest clocked and most stable for that speed than i would say Redstar's 1190 kernel

Just my 2 cents, like a @ssh0l3 everyone has 1
The other two posters are correct--
1. Too high and phone issues, some phones can handle them, a lot can't--be careful
2. Benchmarks are useless and overrated--I have been flashing kernals for almost a year and irregardless of my benchmarks (I haven't even done one for months), the phone seems no differnet for day to day use
3. I prefer the stock one on nightlies--great volume on audio
4. IMHO

Evo vs evo shift

So I'm getting a replacement for my evo and I'm thinking about getting an evo shift so are you guys happy u went with the shift instead of evo
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes. I like having a battery that will last through the day. And a phone that fits in my pocket without needing to wear 2 size bigger pants. And it is wicked fast. Dare I say faster than the EVO.... At least the ones I've used.
For me it was all about a hardware keyboard. But the Shift is also faster and easier on battery. Coming from the Evo the smaller screen might take some getting use too though.
The Evo is also a much more popular phone so you will see more development for it and more ROM choices. All I wanted was CM7 so I'm fine with our ROM selection. And we do have MIUI and GB Sense that I think are mostly bugfree.
So if you don't mind the smaller screen, don't use the front facing camera and won't miss having HDMI out and want more battery life, a hardware keyboard and a processor overclockable to 1.8GHZ then the Shift is for you.

I seem to be one of the few that can run 1.8/1.8 without it freezing, although the temp goes up quick so I just use it for benchmarks. I can use 1.8/1.2 and run dungeon defenders without any lag and the temp stays around 98

evo to shift
I've just recently switched from an Evo to a Shift and not looking back at all. Personally I find the battery life to be the same on custom roms...The Shift is certainly faster and quadrant scores prove it. I do miss the ROM selection the Evo offered though..if your a heavy flasher always looking for something new, keep the Evo..otherwise the Shift is a great device. My biggest reason for switching is the size. The Evo's screen was great at first, but really started to annoy me after a while.
Same for me on the screen size thing

[Q] thinking of sellig my glacier for a .....

g2 do you guys think this is a good idea... i dont like the hardware layout on the glacier ... the screen is small for a onboard keyboard and the glacier is overal really slow for a 1ghz processor and i hear the g2 is pretty fast even though it has a 800mhz processor any ideas adice???
The G2 is has a less powerful processor (MSM7230 vs the MT4G's MSM8255), has less RAM (512 vs the MT4G's 768), has a smaller screen (3.7" vs the MT4G's 3.8"), and is thicker with a crappy hinge. The MT4G is better in every way. If yours is "slow" for a 1GHz phone, then it's your setup.

if you think that its laggy on the MT4g try running the same on the G2 and you'll be even slower lols.. i can concur that screen real estate get diminished due to the on screen keyboard though.
What rom are you running or are you on stock. ? Royal ginger is super fast.

Um, I've had no problem with that on CM7. Choose a good ROM by good devs and you won't have anything to worry about. Stock ROM is slow and has all sorts of added crap, which I'm sure is more conducive to bugs (and LAG!) than an AOSP-based ROM.

downloading ...... are there any blury mms issues or anything like that...anythng now working at all except gtalk... i dont use the ffc and also does anyone know the name off the widget that has the BT wifi data brightness buttons on it? ok this is the first rom ive flashed on the mt4g hope it works lol
man you wernt lyin kid. even with adw ex its still alot faster than stock glacier and none of that bloatware crap... i was a bit hesitant flashing a rom but now im like wtf took me so long haha .... would the dsp manager eq conflict with the power amp app eq?
is a really bad idea selling ur mytouch 4g for g2. i had both phones, mytouch 4g is way faster then g2
already having intermitent call connection with royal ginger
Change the ROM and u'll be just fine. I had around 15 pda's and I can tell for sure it makes the difference.
Cheers!
