Mytouch 4g for a nexus S

Hey all, I have a brand new Mytoich 4g that I just got from a warranty exchange. It is currently rooted with cm on it. I was looking to trade someone for a nexus that's in good condition. The trade would have to be straight across the line no money involved. Hit me up if you are interested.

Not a fair trade. You will have to offer cash along with your mytouch 4g.

How so my phone is far more powerful. The only thing the nexus has on me is nfc with no real world application for it yet and the samoled screen

Actually the Hummingbird processor is vastly superior to the Snapdragon found in the MyTouch 4G. It has better I/O processing speeds and a much stronger graphics rendering ability. Overall the Nexus has better specs, and the battery life will be superior due to the absence of T-Mobile's gimped HTC Sense.

Not true whatsoever ill out benchmark you on any test you would like to take. Also since you didn't read I'm not using the stock nor would anybody on this site. As for the battery life on a miui rom, the phone can go almost 2 days with the right kernel and moderate use.

You can stop trying to defend your phone dude. I saw your note on CM7 but the fact is not everyone would want to use CM7. As far as benchmarks, those can be inflated easily. The proof is right there when you place the two side by side in a 3D game to see the MT4G choking at about 20-25 FPS while the Nexus S will glide along at 40+ FPS.
Point we're trying to get across to you is that no one is going to do an even trade for it.

Well you don't speak for everybody and and the mytouch does the same 45 fps as the nexus. However, your running a first gen processor and mine is a second gen

Ive ran both phones side by side and the mytouch is superior in every way except screen. It eats the Nexus for breakfast in linpack, not to mention it will run aosp and sense. If it were me, and I had a GSM nexus, Id trade ya in a heartbeat man. My little sisters Mytouch 4g is my favorite phone ive never owned lol.

For those of you reading this and that may be listening to the misinformed, the mytouch has a dual processor which basically means a dedicated gpu. The screen shots I'm posting below are...
First set - the worst and best performances of the gpu
Second set - stock setting and overclocking of the cpu
Third set- what 4g gets you
All of these are done without cheating. If someone is serious about a trade I'd be more than happy to upload a you tube video for proof

That's using cm7 and netarchys kernel, fresh rom install. Don't get butthurt because I can get a higher score than your mt4 there are plenty of other nexus owners with higher scores than mine.

I ran a 4999 quad on my nexus. But never got more than 21mflops in linpack. The mytouch beats it in every benchmark but quadrant.

Ok..enough of this bull**** topic. Fact is no one in their right mind will offer a straight trade for an inferior mytouch AND this is not the Marketplace. Post this in the proper place and you just might get some interest among the laughter.

I'm with the OP.
The myTouch 4G is a vastly superior device. This is coming from a Nexus S user (previous myTouch 4G user).
I got a superior deal for it (my mint sidekick 4g straight trade for the Nexus S
But I have to say first off that the mytouch gets higher Quadrant scores stock and then obviously devours the nexus s in everything except graphics performance.
In all honesty a straight trade would be a good deal. You'd be gaining a nice device and dev community with a larger variety of ROMs. Also the battery life of the myTouch so far seems to be better than this phone stock.
If I was the OP, post the phone on Craigslist and see what you get. Or if your lucky like me go from mytouch to sidekick 4g then nexus s all straight trades haha.. (don't take your chances. Analyze how the sidekick is doing in your area. It seems to have leverage in mine (Minneapolis) even though its a sucky device. There was a guy doing a straight trade g2x for sidekick. It was crazy.)
Just my 2 cents.

I'm not going to say the nexus is better than the mytouch but I believe they are very similar

Hi to the Nexus S users. I got a brand new Nexus S 4g this past Saturday coming from a DINC. I'm running CM7 stable. Is anyone having signal issues/slow 3g speeds by the way?

Can't say for sure since I have a Tmo NS but having had Sprint I can tell you my wife and I had those issues with all Sprint phones. Their 3g speeds SUCK.

Make sure you have ke5 or ke1 radio

How do I switch radios and which should I use? I want faster 3g speeds lol actually what I want is a lower, stable ping lol

Having the correct radio will give you better reception, which will give you a more reliable connection. As a result you may see increased speeds. Keyword is may. You can decrease your ping by setting a local server ip your phone first connects to. Search for lowering pings. For radios, flash using fastboot. Please be sure to read up on radio flashing as a mistake could be catastrophic. Good luck

I am also new to the NS4G, having switched from evo 4g. Sprint 3G has always sucked the big one and I don't notice any appreciable difference between nexus and evo speeds.
The phone reception IS quite a bit weaker than the Evo however.

ICS on Nexus S

What are the stages where this is at right now? Fully usable? Still Alpha? I currently have a Galaxy S2 and love it, but it is big and I really want ICS. Is ICS helping with battery life at all? What are people experiencing performance/battery wise? Things like data speeds? Is image quality any better on the device?
Thanks!

Another ICS thread? Ever thought about joining one of the other 10 threads on this subject and actually read what others have been already saying about it.

Lol
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

The ICS dev threads have hundreds, if not thousands of posts. Makes it hard to find information. I don't currently have the phone so it makes it hard for me.

Real simple is to jump to the end of a ics dev thread and read the posts backwards. You will see the most recent info. In short the rom I am running is very smooth, few things need tinkering with to get them working, no 4g but that is expected with a non nexus 4g source. I will also say that after using a ics rom as a daily driver since last weekend the rest of the world who are waiting on ics for their device will not be disappointed when it finally gets there. As far as the battery life goes I have had the best daily usage out of my nexus as ever, true story.

When everyone says 4G, they mean Sprint, right? I have T-Mo so would HSPA+ work?

well there are roms being developed for all variants of the nexus s. But yes I have the nexus s 4g on sprint.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

I'm not sure about hspa+, isn't that just t-mobiles way of saying 4g? Like lte and wimax? If so then I doubt the ability to connect to it works without the official sources being released by google yet.

Answer
Excuse all the thread police. Apparently some on here have OCD and treat the threads like their personal panty drawr (nice and neat). But to answer your question: ICS is pretty far along on the device, battery is better than ginger, performance has the potential to be better when source drops (right now it's faster sometimes and slower at others), data speeds are about the same, and image is great. In all, the ports we have are daily drivers for MANY, including myself. Although most of the bugs seem to have been ironed out, I can see there is still a lot of potential. Our DEVS are pretty gangster so we will surely see much more progression.

I agree but keep in mind that Ginger was developed fromour phones CPU. Hummingbird. In which why if runs so fluid. Ics is for the what's ever in the galaxy nexus. No other phone will run ics smoother than the gn as no other phone had ever beaten this on Ginger.
My point is that we need source code so we can make a ron with other elements intwined to the framework. Show me how to sign a Tom and I'll. Dev the crap out of it

I'm using Brainmaster's V2 and it's a daily for sure. I haven't updated because I use A2DP a lot, and the newer versions built off of Koush's rom lose that.

yes most of the roms on ICS for i9020/23 (3G) are lying.
seems like ALL of the 4G Nexus S is working. I found an updated radio image i9020xxki1, but i didn't have the guts to flash it to see if it works.

Reasons why your still with the Nexus S?

Hey guys, I was a older nexus user and after getting many phones(I have a sensation) I'm getting a nexus again. I'm trading my senny for nexus S and a Samsung infuse 4g.
So why are you guys still with the nexus? Reasons?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

Because I can't afford another phone. Lol. Well part of the reason. I actually enjoy the community support and see no other reasons to upgrade. My phone does what I need it to without any problems. My next phone will be a GNex, but I'll probably run this thing into the ground before then. At least I'll have saved up enough by then.

That's cool. For spem reason, this phone looks amazingly sexy. And in hand it feels the best than any other phone
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

I quite like my nexus, but the main reason is, that there is nothing extraordinary about new phones.
My nexus can perform smoothly, any task i need to do( i don't play games).
I'll upgrade at the end of the year,
hopefully till then , they will be able to sort the battery life and use more efficiently front panel,
to fit screen.
I'll would love, to have bigger screen, although not at cost of carrying mini tablet in my pocket.

Because I am not a fool that constantly goes out and buys the latest and greatest phones for a big e-peen.

Just buy a spare. Those cheap extended ones aren't really that much better in performance from reports I've seen online. You can't bump up the maHs without increasing the size of the batteries just yet.

Ignore the first one as that is wifi..
Battery life, seems good to me so far, varies on each build of the custom ROM, as in gets better each time. I get a full day easily.
