Hello all I have had problems with my g2, it overheats alot. So I called tmobile to get a replacement and they said they would send me a mytouch 4g. Is this a good enough replacement for my phone beside it not having a keyboard or should I tell them to send me a g2 again.

The MT4G is about the same as the G2, except it runs natively at 1ghz, and has 768mb of RAM. (and the keyboard, of course).
Assuming you're going to root either way, the stock software isn't a problem.

they won't give him a MT4G Slide. Especially for his 1st replacement.
to late they already sent me a mytouch 4g i should receive it tomorrow. I wanna know will they send me the mytouch charger and such or do I have to use the charger that came with my g2
I'd guess they'll just send you the phone in one of those replacement boxes, BUT...if it's a different model they'll have to send you the whole phone with battery and back cover, so maybe they'll give the stock box and all to you. Guess this didn't really help, I'll be interested to see what they give you.

Charger for all HTC phones has been the same for some time now, so it really doesn't matter either way. Except the MT4G charger is white!

Well they gave me a brand new mytouch4g with everything. I can tell you after having the g2 for awhile the screen on this is really nice, plus I can view it outside in the daytime now.
I can't think of a single phone I would trade for my G2

Can you comment on the battery life of the mytouch compared to the g2? i've read alot of reviews and I see that the mytouch has a noticeable better battery life.

The g2 is always on the bottom so I am about to call them and get a replacement because my screen is acting up and I might just take what ever they offer me since i could use a little more battery.

So my MyTouch 3G Slide is bricked.
So I filed a claim with Asurion, and they are offering me either a T-Mobile G2 or a Garminfone.
Which one should I get and is it better than the MT3G Slide?
Give me some comparisons.
G2. Bigger screen, processor and overall a better phone.

G2 is a good choice, I'm not too sure about that Garminfone... Never really looked one up, but it's looking like that was the one to go with.
What was disappointing about the Slide? I've just rooted mine so I've still got enthusiasm about it.

It had so many errors, and after I rooted it, it got worse.
I even did the fix by ROM Manager to fix FC's.
Rooting sucked. Flash didn't work for websites, the FN and CAPS lights didn't work, and icons kept moving themselves.
Using the LED with the camera would always cause a FC. No avatar for the user.
Later it bricked by itself after 3 months of smoothness.
Just went to Asurions website to see if this was accurate and it is and it also says the phone is no longer even being made, at least in black. So then I went to T-Mo's website and they don't even have black listed to be bought as new, so it appears gentlemen this phone is dead and is not even being made anymore.
Did you call saurian or tmobile?
Went throiugh the process of a claim and didn't finish, and it offered me the G2 or Garminfone as it did with the OP, and it stated those were your choices due to the device you have no longer being made After that I went to T-Mo's retail site and saw you can not buy a black Slide new as of now.

Wow, I wasnt even aware that the slide reached EOL so soon, but then again they dont even show the commercials for it anymore.
Why is there a deductible though if the phone had a problem like it will not charge isn't that supposed to be free?

There policy may not allow a free phone, so they only take a portion off the price.
My brother-in-law called tmobile today because he had a problem with his slide and they said they were gonna send him out another black one? How is he going to receive a new slide if they don't make them anymore. Where does it say where they are not being made anymore? Does anyone have a link?
It said it as you make a claim through Asurion. Now if you go to T-mos site they sell refrubed black ones still but not new ones. Maybe Asurion can't get them anymore but T-Mo still can.

Is going through tmobile the only way of getting a phone without having to pay a deductible?
after a couple calls to t-mobile trying to get my phone replaced (camera cover fell off at some point and there is a crack in the camera lens) they refused and stated that i had to file a claim through asurion because the phone is "damaged". me not wanting to pay a $130 deductible for an a problem that was not my fault, didn't file a claim till after reading this so i went through the process and sure enough i get the G2 offered to me instead. i gladly paid the deductible and am expecting my phone tomorrow. Glad i didn't pull the trigger on that nexus s last week.

But then you would have two phones(G2+N-S) and you could sell the G2 and profit.
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.

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).
Well my Slide crapped out on me for the second time, and since I pay the $5/month protection I called t-mobile to get my free one. Catching me completely offguard, the representative said t-mobile was having a limited time offer and I could upgrade to a mytouch 4g for free, or get a refurbished slide if i wanted. Well of course I took him up for the free 4g phone. Why would t-mobile ever do this if they still have refurbished Slides? I'll take it though

Similar story here except I don't pay for the extra t-mobile protection. My slide has a hardware issue so the store offered me a refurbished slide or I could pay for a MyTouch 4g for 250$. I denied and told them to just send me a refurbished slide. 5 mins into the call and the T-mobile lady helping me out tells me that they are just going to send me a refurbished 4g. I told her that is great and I hope shes not pulling my leg! She look shocked and said "nope!". I called T-mobile the next day to confirm and sure enough a 4g is on its way to me.
Well I am in a chat right now, will see if I can make that happen. My wife has a Slide and would LOVE a MT4G.
EDIT: Ok I need some help. Do I only mention warranty covered issues? Or do I say the screen got cracked or something? What did you guys do. The guy in the chat gave me Asurion's contact info and sent me packing.

Hey just received my 4g today. Basically I went to a tmobile store and showed them my phone ( front buttons unresponsive). Once the tmobile clerk called customer care to send a refurbished 3g, they informed her that I could just get a refurbished 4g. I agreed and the deal was done.
I don't think a cracked screen counts to be replaced though...since that isnt hardware failure.
However, you can let customer care guy know that your friends were offered a free upgrade to refurbished 3g's ( if it is hardware related ) Good luck!
Damnit!!!
People had mentioned having the $5 insurance thing, so I assumed since they mentioned that they were invoking an insurance replacement, not a warranty replacement.
Maybe I will try again. My wife's phone actually isn't cracked or anything, but it does have a few actual issues that I think would/should be covered under warranty.
If I try again, I will let everyone know the results. I of course never mentioned anything about anyone else getting the deal. I'm hoping it's an issue they are already aware of internally, maybe they are out of refurb Slides...

Well that was less fruitful than I would have liked... I went through the whole process of troubleshooting and the rep indicated that she would have a replacement sent to me and said it would be a Mytouch Slide... GRRRR
Oh well, such is life.
My GF brought up something I thought I should mention. It's possible that it's region specific. Just an idea
I've been haggling them for a 4G on the basis of the lack of updates for the Slide. A rep told me last night that she didn't know if an update for the Slide would ever be released. They offered me a loyalty upgrade (not free, but not full price) everytime I called. With all of this urgency to offer the 4G to Slide customers, I think the Slide has officially been kicked to the curb by T-Mobile.

Yeah, they send me the 4g and I just put the Slide it the same box and send it back, pretty painless.

He also made it seem like it was an offer for everyone that had been going on for a little while. I'm guessing they go through quite a few refurbs since the phone is so crappy, maybe they're running low and the new stock isn't coming in for a while? They might not even make new Slides anymore.

The mytouch line all look cheesy in my opinion. The G2 is much more slick. I don't understand why you are all freaking out about EOL (except warranty replacement). We will still get software updates in our custom ROMs, even if they have to be ported from another device.

Nope. Right now the only replacement device t-mobile will send instead of a g2 is an HTC hd2 or a moto cliq 2. Last month it was the mt4g hd2 or another one that was garbage.
Chances that you will get any phone with a dual core as a replacement right now is slim to none....emphasis on none. This is coming from the person that went thru 4 g2 refurbished in about one week. I went thru all of the possible alternatives. They explained the process and how the devices are chosen....and new devices are not an option. Otherwise peopple would be getting free upppgrades constantly.

I upgraded from an HD2 to the G2 I'll just add if they EVER tried to 'downgrade' me to a cliq 2, Tmobile doesn't get one more penny from me. Ever.
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.

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.

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
