HTC confirmed that they were working on an update for the sensation to unlock its bootloader. I would not worry about it.
[myTouch 4G General] crawler9:
I went from the G2x to the MT4G (gave up on the G2x because of backlight bleeding). I honestly didn't feel much of a difference. Virtuous Fusion on my MT4G runs fast enough for anything and with Chainfire3D, I can play all the Tegra 2 games and do everything fast as I need. I was originally planning on getting the Sensation. I still might, but I'm considering waiting til the Tegra 3 and comparable phones come out.
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
I would wait till next year when they start making Quad-core phones, which is in Qualcomm's roadmap, and probably others too. The G2X will be outdone by the SGSII(Fastest Phone now, blows G2X ) . The Sensation is slower than the SGSII, but is still a good phone nonetheless. Not really worth the upgrade from the MT4G. If you care about things like ram, companies are starting to use 1GB ram and hopefully they increase ROM size for more internal storage.
[myTouch 4G General] onishchuk4:
Agreed. For me this phone will totally be enough for the next year and a half thanks to the awesome work of the dev community. Rooting and flashing a custom ROM has given my phone new life, so personally I can now confidently wait to get my next "uber" phone when my contract expires.
[myTouch 4G General] 808aloha:
it seems that the g2x has alot of problems compared to mytouch 4g. the one i was able to use kept shutting off and on!

i would wait for something worthwhile!
[myTouch 4G General] ryumo:
One of my coworkers has this phone. I messed around with it for a while and it seems to be pretty nice, but not quite enough of an upgrade for me to ditch this phone for.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Almost every phone on XDA started out with a locked bootloader. You make no sense with your comment about a locked bootloader. My MyTouch came locked but look at how fast that was bypassed.

BTW: HTC has already stated publicly that an OTA update will unlock it in the near future.
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
Im with the others, not worth an upgrade. just wait until the quads come out:D
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
I love the MT4G. I still have my Nexus One but with 768MB RAM, I can find NO reason to upgrade at this point. And to compound that decision, all the recent reviews have said that the screen is lackluster at best. Sure the higher resolution is nice but if you don't couple that with a great screen it does NO good at all.

And that great device (Sensation) still comes with the same RAM as the MT4G. Sorry, but at a time when tech prices are what they are, packing 1GB+ into a smartphone should be the baseline standard. If I upgraded to anything right now it would be the SGS2 but I intend to wait for quad cores to pop up. My desktop and laptop both have quad cores so my phone should too.

The MT4G with CM7 runs fantastic.
[myTouch 4G General] allthrottle:
I have a g2x right now, my wife has a mytouch4g. The g2x is quicker, and has more potential. I can say though, it isn't significantly quicker for having a dual core processor and vanilla android, and it definitely does have more software issues.

I (just like others) thought the issues complained about were exaggerated and I was lucky enough to get a g2x without issues. The screen bleeding isn't horrible, but I have had the random reboots (usually daily). Battery life is poor at best, there isn't any lagging but it does stumble and freeze for a second occasionally. Great at multitasking and gaming though.

My wife is pretty picky about her phones and complains if there are any issues... I haven't heard her complain about the mytouch except low earpiece volume.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Well, both my Cyanogen and MIUI ROMS on my MT4G run better than the G2X. Not my opinion. That is fact. I have a G2X here as well and it doesn't run anywhere as good as my MT4G with either ROM.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Would you happen to know why CM7 runs so poorly on the G2x?

And I agree. CM7 on a MT4G makes it feel like it was never meant to be a Sense phone. So smooth....
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Cuz it's not a stable release yet! Still beta.
[myTouch 4G General] osugsxr:
g2x experience

Recently purchased a g2x about a month ago for $350 or so, previously had a mytouch 4g awhile back. Traded my backup old g2 for a brand new mytouch 4g. Unlocked and rooted it again, currently using this one over the g2x.

G2x is a fast phone! Very smooth and no issues for me, heard of reboots, screen bleeding, freezing etc.... I have had none of those issues. I like the g2x but battery life hasn't been that great :( barely going about 6 hours or so. Only issue I have is not being about to connect to data on gingerbread roms, such as cyanogen 7 and a few others. I do think there was one rom where I did connect, need to double check that. Cyanogen is stable but LG needs to release the drives for the g2x, from what I heard. Gingerbread update is suppose to come before summer but we will see. Being on 2.2 stock rom I love the phone, OS is solid but battery is lacking.

Build quality is excellent, touch screen is very nice, 4" screen is probably perfect for me. Going to probably sell the g2x and wait for something else, or go with the htc sensation. For now back to the mytouch 4g....
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
Did you guys read the article about the new Nexus having a 1.5GHz 2X CPU and its ice cream software? It seems it will be extremely powerful and has HD res..Higher than the qHD being used now. Good thing I didn't get a G2X or Sensation, since ice cream will need more power. Can't wait to see ICS MIUI & Sense revisions.
[myTouch 4G General] osugsxr:
nexus?

Wouldn't mind going a nexus again, loved the nexus one. Probably had that phone for over a year or so, and now its phone to phone every other month almost:eek: Either going to sell the g2x or the mytouch 4g and stick with the other hopefully for awhile or get rid of both and buy the sensation.
[myTouch 4G General] themetatron:
i purchased the g2x and am still using my mt4g as primary and trying to sell my g2x. the 3.8 inch screen really is the sweetspot for screen size, it doesn't seem like much, but in hand it's a considerable difference.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Screw the next Nexus. I will wait for a nice quad core superphone. So disappointed the next Nexus will only be dual core. A shame if you ask me. My rooted and OC'd MT4G is still perfect!
[myTouch 4G General] osugsxr:
I'm a fan of htc phones, loved the nexus one, and the mytouch 4g. Would like the next nexus to be htc, probably going to hopefully sell g2x at decent price and maybe buy sensation
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
I've played with the Sensation. It suffers from a miserable screen. Same washed out display that the MT4G had when it was released. I would recommend against the Sensation.

My MT4G running CM7 runs better than the Sensation. Just to put into perspective.
[myTouch 4G General] KillaHurtz:
Well the true potential of the Sensation will be unlocked when the bootloader is.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
Sorry but the bootloader has NOTHING to do with the screen. The screen sucks. It's washed out and lackluster. Potential or not, when the screen looks horrible who cares what the device can do if it doesn't look good doing it!
[myTouch 4G General] corwest:
I would wait for a year or so personally. The smartphone game has picked up exponentially in a matter of months. Like others have said, quad core phones aren't that far off and you may regret jumping on the dual core train since it seems to just be a short bridge to more advanced tech.
[myTouch 4G General] mingkee:
I have both.

G2x is very fast. 24xx quadrant is good. No hiccup when playing Angry Birds is good.

Screen is good on both (though there's a minimal screen bleed on G2x) and wide viewing angle.

Both can take decent pics and videos in 720p.

Reception on G2x is a bit better.

MT4 has dedicated cam button.

MT4 has trackpad.

MT4 has indication light.

MT4 has dedicated flashlight app.

G2x has plain Android while MT4 has altered Sense.

Earpiece and microphone sound better on G2x.

Screen is larger on G2x.

G2x has more internal memory and storage for apps (2GB).

MT4 has more RAM.

The price of MT4 is cheap. I called Loyalty and purchased it for $400 and luckily I got a good screen one.

My G2x is almost trouble-free. I seldom encountered reboot or shutdown by itself. GPS is OK.

It's said 2.3 update is at the door, but I am not sure what the improvements will be.
[myTouch 4G General] KillaHurtz:
You mentioned CM7 on MT4G being smoother than the Sensation........ and I said wait til its unlocked. I mentioned nothing of the screen.
[myTouch 4G General] sarni84:
well i had the mt4g and it was a great phone my wife still has hers, i have the g2x now and i must say it is beast everything about it is beast and yea the mt4g had a little more ram but u dont even notice it at all i put every single rom available on my g2x and it is fine, i even played with the sensation and u know what the g2x beats it by a mile the only thing it has on the g2x is the text and colors look a little more crisp but overall the g2x ips lcd screens contrast looks way better and the colors look more real, also the g2x is super quick, the sensation on the other hand lags......g2x is way better with games too, also picture quality is about the same, plus the development on the g2x is on fire rite now, as for the sensation who knows when they will unlock the bootloaders they probably just said they would so they could actually sell the damn thing....imo g2x reigns supreme. **** the other day i got a 5115 on quadrant proof is over at the g2x forum under " show your quadrant scores"
[myTouch 4G General] corwest:
meh. MT4G rules.:)
[myTouch 4G General] TangBaby:
Just keep the MT4G. Its a great phone and Tmobile stopped the sale of the G2x due to quote "severe hardware issues". And the 2nd Gen snapdragon runs laps around terga 2 dual core processors. And 768 MB is the perfect amount of ram. Stay with the mt4g.
[myTouch 4G General] laker666:
They didn't stop selling it because of that.. they ran out... I've had both and both are good. But the g2x is defiantly an upgrade and a Damn fine one
[myTouch 4G General] sarni84:
dude u must have fell down and bumped your head if u think tegra 2 is slower then the second gen snapdragon, u aint serious rite??? like u were kidding rite?? lol dude i have both phones and yes the mt4g is a great phone by all means but the g2x spanks it in benchmarks, gaming and daily tasks, opening and closing of apps, background.... it is so fast u open an app and bam!!! open, and the g2x has NO problems with ram AT ALL i have flashed every rom available for it cm, eaglesblood, ultimates, fauxs, all run beautifully....and man with the ips-lcd screen everything just pops!:D
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
Yeah he obviously has no clue that the Tegra 2 is a dual-core unlike 2nd Gen Dragon -_-. it's no where near the Tegra 2. G2X is buggy since 2X cores aren't used on Froyo, that's why the phone is acting up-it needs the Gingerbread or ice cream sandwich to function correctly. On benchmarks I heard 1 Core is used, so maybe the real scores would be twice as much as they are right now. A G2X will win in performance all the time, just wait for the issues to be worked out and it will return to store shelves.
[myTouch 4G General] TangBaby:
You need to do your research. Independent testing has proved that the terga 2 is slower then the 2nd Gen snapdragon. I've seen the tests with my own eyes. And yes Tmobile pulled the G2x because of "severe hardware defects". And yes they also let the G2x run out of stock before they suspended the sale of it...how do I know you ask? I WORK FOR TMOBILE TECH SUPPORT. I've replaced well over 600++ g2xs sense it was released all due to hardware issues. Don't let what Tmobile is telling the general public and the truth get twisted. The mytouch 4G is a much better phone will 99% of all hardware issues resolved. And quadrent scores mean zero. So before you try saying anything more I highly recommend you do some research and stop letting what a Corp spokesman says...corporations lie all the time...could u imagine if Tmobile came out and said we are recalling the G2x? They would lose soooooooooo much money...so what they did was let the phone "hit zero" on inventory and told LG that they need to fix the laundry list of issues...hardware and software. So ya I know what I'm talking bout. Once LG fixes the issues then the G2x will be a force to recon with. Until then I am keeping my awesome mytouch 4G.
[myTouch 4G General] Ace42:
http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/specs

http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-2.html

W/o even looking at any benchmarks just look at what each CPU/GPU offers and decide which is actually better, the Tegra 2 is a A9 and Dragon is an A8, do you really think the older architecture would be better if overall performance. On a computer a Single core can't beat the dual core, a Pentium 4 against a core 2 duo or even dual Pentium would not fair well in tests.
[myTouch 4G General] TangBaby:
Specs do not matter.....its how the hardware. Software. Work together. I'm saying that the G2x is NOT faster due to severe issues with hardware and software. Qualcomm and independent persons have put the Terga 2 against the snapdragon. The snapdragon is faster in almost every aspect. ONCE THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ISSUES ARE FIXED THEN YES THE TERGA 2 WILL WIPE THE FLOOR WITH SNAPDRAGON. UNTIL THAT DAY SNAPDRAGON RULES SUPREME.
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
I got my second Mt4G for a person on my family plan for $49 through retention (first one early on was $99 and they grandfathered in my older data plan). The first one went on eBay to offset the cost of the G2X from retention ($349 because of other ROM's recent activity - lol).

With rooted stock and cleaned up derivative (like EB) and faux kernel, quadrent only a modest 4000, but everything works. Experimental GB up over 5000 quadrent, but some things did not work.

The improvements will be significant on the development side, as there will be updated drivers and when source released - development is expected to really take a jump. Also, stock and stock derivatives with kernels will probably get a good boost also.
[myTouch 4G General] TangBaby:
Hopefully that happens in the next century or two....lol. We can all dream. ;)
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
Still waiting over here too? The G2X forum was full of "coming soon, coming next week, etc." threads - and then of course nothing happens

Would have thought you might have had it here, except if they are trying to do a Sense version - then G2X might actually still see it first - like only by the end of this decade.
[myTouch 4G General] TangBaby:
Yup...tmo halted the sale of the g2x til lg gets there act together.
[myTouch 4G General] :
I am incredibly happy with my mytouch that I have had since day uno. Been running CM7 nightly #105 with fauxs kernel and this thing is crazy smooth! This is by far the zippiest and most stable rom I have tried. In second place would be fauxs own gb rom. But there's a noticeable difference between the two. Everything loads almost immediately even though I'm underclocked at 9__ Mhz. My battery life is terrific. Thank you CM and faux!
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
I also had good luck both CM7 and faux on my MT4G.

It was hard initially letting go of it for the G2X (and a big reason for doing so was TMo's representation that it also had AT&T HSPA frequencies). However, when I work on a friends MT4G I set up, I find that I now like the G2X better overall.

The MT4G has a faux kernel, and she has asked why when she boots up, it calls her a smartass.
[myTouch 4G General] knobgoo:
Both great phones, can't go wrong with either, but I'd go with G2X
[myTouch 4G General] Alexis4787:
Switching from G2x to Mytouch4g

I upgraded to the g2x a little over a month ago, and it is an awesome phone except for the very frequent random reboots and shut downs which often require a battery pull before it will turn back on. I called t mobile about it and they are sending me a mytouch4g as a replacement. They said the issues I'm having with the G2x are known issues and until a software update comes out to fix it they have pulled it from distribution. Hopefully the my touch will be better. I am disappointed about losing the substantially better camera and dual core processor, but on a phone that doesn't function the extras really don't matter.
[myTouch 4G General] aNYthing24:
The Snapragon isn't an A9 or an A8. It's a modified core that contains elements from both the A8 and A9 (dubbed Scorpion).
[myTouch 4G General] TheVet:
Battery Life

I am extremely happy with my Mytouch 4G running Cyanogenmod. I could probably use it for years but I like to upgrade when there is a much better phone out there. The advertised battery life on the G2X is shorter than the Mytouch but that usually don't mean much. Have any of you used both phones and compared battery life?
[myTouch 4G General] milestide25:
well I am fixing to have a major step up. I just purchased a MT4G on eBay. my current phone is a LG Optimus T. I'm really looking forward to play with it. I wanted the G2X, but I didn't want the price tag at the moment. I am considering selling both of my phones at some point to front the cost of the G2X without a contract. I wanna save my upgrade for a quadcore phone if and when they come out. The main draw to the G2X for me is the HDMI mirroring capabilities and the ability to use it as a console. That's the sweetest feature I have seen on any phone.
[myTouch 4G General] mike21pr:
I wanted to look into getting a G2x but all the issues and lack of support really killed my interest. But one thing that also made me stick with the Glacier (or HTC in general) is that when it comes to custom ROMS, you have the choice to whether have a Sense ROM, Liquid Metal, AOSP, MIUi among others. You cant have Sense with a G2x so ROM choices will be less. I mean im running a Sense 3.0 ROM and its running like a dream with over 2600 quadrant scores without overclock, and things like that makes me glad to have a Glacier because i can have AOSP as well unlike LG which most custom roms are customized versions of a stock rom

Can someone please help me get this to run on this ROM? Here is the download.

There is really nothing to port. Did you tap the right rosie button or go to personalize/skin and select metal. I believe thats how you install it.

I did but nothing was there
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Stoney 666:
2.1 skins are not compatible on 3.0... I am looking into making some soon. I'm making a simple test skin right now with little edits just to see if it works. Once I see it installs with no problems, I will start making complete skins.

You need the m10 editing tool. Once you decompile the apk with that tool, you'll be able to edit the pngs. Just be careful cuz the images are upside-down and need to stay upside down when you recompile. Other wise they'll be upside down on your phone.

Hi I have a quick question.

So everytime I plug in head phones, my notification bar shows a headphone icon and a TTY icon. When I unplug the headphones the headphone icon disappears, but the TTY icon stays. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot my phone, which is kind of annoying.

The reason I have TTY on in the first place is because I learned that its a little trick that makes your speaker louder when your on the phone calling someone.

Is there a way I can TTY on, but make the icon disappear when I unplug my headphones?

THANKS

Ordered a green one- will let you know, maybe get some pics up.

Also Fortte supposedly has a leather case in the works, but no details on it. I decided I wanted the ability to use the phone after I had a previous bookstyle case for a blackjack. That was a pain to make a call on.

just from looking at the picture it looks gigantic i dun think its for everyone, more for like outdoor ppl or ppl who always break there phone. But it does look solid but could be better. They should make a slimmer version of the case.

Hey, these looks great!

I might pick up one while I wait for an otter-box, if they ever come around.

It's definitely going to add bulk to it. I have the Aegis for the myTouch 4G. It's bulky but provides very good protection for your phone.

Edit: If you guys are not in a hurry I would suggest waiting for this case to become available at CyclopsCase.com. I think they are a distributor for Trident cases. They are $10 cheaper. That's where I bought my Aegis case and it was shipped for free too.
