[Q] MT4G's goodness? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Thinking about getting a MT4G off CL. Just wondering how this phone is. Any annoying issues that come up when moving to CM?
Thank you!

CM7 is most stable. I think CM 9 & 10 are good too but have its issues with full hd recording etc. The Sense 4.1 ROMs are great too.
I have a mt4g for sale on eBay

Just snagged one for 60 bucks off CL.

Load up Synthetic's Aospx ICS ROM and you'll be good to go.

I ended up rooting and getting S-off.
I just went with CM7 for now. Seems to work fine.
One thing I am wondering is: I have a 4GB nand and CM7 is only using a little of a GB of it. How can I reclaim the rest of that space?
Does Synthetic's Aospx ICS ROM have WIFI calling? I hang out in basements a lot!

I have synthetic loaded right now...mine doesn't have wifi calling but pretty sure there is a flash able zip in dev section

That's funny. The HTC rom has this giant 4G on it.

I'm on CM7. My phone charges just fine. Care to give us something a little less vague than "forever?'
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.

Sure, my phone was at a 10% charge when I got to work. I plugged it into my USB cable on my PC. and left it charging for 6 hours and my battery is not at 60%.

Let me point out that the wall charger outputs 5V DC @ 1A, while a USB port is rated at 5V DC @ 100mA, or 1/10 of the wall charger. Still, that seems a little slow. Did you flash at 100% battery?

Maybe it's time for a new battery.

Just a small correction - standard USB(2) port output is rated @500mA, and USB3 port is @800mA.

Thanks Jack. I promise I read 100mA somewhere years ago. Gotta love all that misinformation out there. I remember thinking, "How do they get all these devices to run on 100mA?" Makes sense now.

My condolences But you could just replace the USB port. You can find one very cheap on ebay.
This has happened to me . The usb in the phone has come loose and won't charge.
I thought of fixing it myself but didn't want to **** my phone up. So I found some mains battery chargers from eBay and they are working really well . Charges my batterys well and had no problems in a month now .
The chargers were only 4 pound . So not to bad and you can get a battery with them too but pay a little more .

Xoom Charging Port Broke

Hi,
I was charging my Xoom yesterday and my dog ran around and tripped on the cable. The charger bent and wouldn't work anymore. I bought a new charger thinking that was the problem, but it won't charge either. I assume that the port itself broke somehow.
It's the WiFi model, i bought from Best Buy without any protection plan. Does anyone know offhand what the cost of repair would be via Motorola and turnaround time?
Or better yet, some other way to charge it? (i wish the mini USB would work)
Thanks
Put the dog up for adoption.
Go to motos website and jump on a chat to see what they say.
Don't put the dog up for adoption.

I posted it on the Moto forums, thanks. Also, I heard the dock charges it without using the normal port, is that true? Would that work?
I too was going to suggest the dock. I am fairly certain it charges through the USB.

Thanks, i'll do this, but can anyone 100% confirm that would work in my situation? It would be greatly appreciated.
Dock will charge it. It charges through the exposed metal sockets you see on the bottom, not through USB. But it will work I have one.
Cheers.
You should go to ifixit.com and look for a teardown. Try and find the part on EBay or see if you can order through Moto. That sucks.

The dock is/was on sale at BestBuy. That's your immediate best bet.
But that's a big inconvenience. I have the dock and I think I only used it once. You'd have to have a boner to be able to rest that dock on you when you're using it in bed.

Just a + 1 for confirmation.
I find the crappy little charge port & jack to be one of the VERY few cons about the Xoom. The 2 gold plated connectors at least offer hope that I could fabricate another charger (apple laptop style) if ever necessary.

Would the Nexus work with the Powermat

Do you think the Nexus would be compatible with this: http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/bundle...5_1352951281_943abe706d6d6b649f154f0e4db00ac9
Usually it requires powercubes, but because the Nexus is Qi compatible, does this mean we can use it without.
I believe not. Last time I checked Powermat have not made any QI compatible chargers.

Anything out there that will work? Still have not heard anything on when the official charger will even be available or for how much, kinda worries me.

As discussed in many Nexus 4 Accessories threads the Nokia one sometimes works but not always, the LG WCP-[something] does work and is on amazon, the Oregon Scientific time and charger works and as stated above the Energizer Qi mats work.
Take a look thru these threads.

what it is bro
anker is a safe bet
I am looking into external chargers as well since you can replace the battery. I think I saw some Duracell ones on amazon as well, but thanks for the Anker suggestion!
I'm aware of their existance, what I want is effectively a "mini" one. I need it to be as small as possible but give the phone at least one charge.
Most of the ones ive seen on the net and on here are large and have large capacity
I will buy this one :

If it doesn't like to charge anymore then its from the battery getting wet maybe. When my sons continy drowned in his backpack from a water bottle I dried it out for awhile in rice, battery too.
Amazon has cheap bats and extended bats and case for continuum.

Yeah, that might be the case in part, but there is also the issue of the phone registering that is is plugged in only after twisting and bending the cord around the phone in a certain manner... It isn't the cord, because I tried it with like four others--it is definitely the phone itself... I think i'll keep this phone though until the Sammy S IV is released (and unlockable by devs ) for Verizon off contract So I still have some time to fiddle around!
I bought an external battery charger for mine off ebay for 5, I saw some for a little more with a battery. Then it wouldn't have to charge via the phone and you would have an extra battery.
Having said all that, are you working on one last great master mod release. Your continuum magnum opus?

That's what I've got. The desk charger came with a "Y" usb cord so I can have one battery charging in the charger and still plug the phone in. It's great having that second battery, if the phone gets low just swap them out and go. And it is a factory Samsung battery, so no issues with it.

I had an extended battery for mine when it was daily driver. Now mine is sitting in a draw so if you need anything testes I don't mine flashing it, I just need to flash to gb first since I went to froyo because the gb leak kept boot looping.
