So I wanted to upgrade to a new phone like the amaze but it makes sense to wait two more or 3 months for the quad core processor phones right guys? Let's hear some feeback and what are you gonna do? Wait it out too??
[myTouch 4G General] cbutt:
Yea, I agree. I get bored easily, this is the first phone I've kept for this long (about a year). At first, I was looking at a gradual upgrade, something like a sensation or a g2x... Then I figured if I'm gonna spend $$, might as well just do it for the long haul & look into an amaze, galaxy s2 or even wait for a galaxy nexus... After all is said & done, I'm still using my glacier & will continue to do so. We've got an awesome dev section & something better will always be just ahead of the curve, but I'm definitely waiting for 2012...
[myTouch 4G General] killerkem:
Yea bro I feel ya..it'll be best to wait it out cause if I buy a phone I might as get one that will be quad and better camera and faster processor..I love my mytouch it has been with me through alot
[myTouch 4G General] Infrared28:
I'm interested in the HTC ville. Not quad core but the krait dual core processor looks interesting. Especially since ICS is optimized for dual core.

Rumored samsung galaxy s3

currently researching sg2 and nexus prime..
[myTouch 4G General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Wait for the quad core nexus. Quad cores will have better architectures and will be more stable,better battery life, and etc.
[myTouch 4G General] romeoh:
ya 2012 is a quad core year but i'm really big fan of HTC so i'm waiting for HTC ville hopefully comes Tmo.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Is the Vile the one with the S4 chip or Tegra 3?
[myTouch 4G General] Infrared28:
The ville comes with the s4 processor
[myTouch 4G General] killerkem:
So you guys waiting it out? Ok good now I'm definitely gonna wait the few more months
[myTouch 4G General] cmstlist:
The Ville is the 4.3" ICS phone right? That sounds so much nicer size-wise than the massive Galaxy Nexus. Should come out more compact than the Amaze or Sensation due to the removal of buttons.

However the render appears to have a screen aspect ratio of 1.64 or so, which is closer to the 5x3 of an 800x480 display than the 16x9 (1.777) of a qHD display. So the render is misshapen.
[myTouch 4G General] Infrared28:
Yes the ville is the 4.3" screen one. Same screen as the RAZR i believe. Its gonna be nice because the 28nm processor allows for it to be really thin. So it shouldn't be much heavier than the MT4G.
[myTouch 4G General] romeoh:
it will come with 1.5GH snapdragon s4 processor and here's the full specification of it. A 4.3-inch qHD (960×540) Super AMOLED display; a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor; 8MP camera on the back with 1080p HD video capture; a 1,650mAh battery; HSPA+-connectivity; and Beats Audio Technology. The handset will apparently measure in at only 8mm thick,will launch with Android 4.0, and will also launch HTC’s Sense 4.0 overlay.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
I'm just gonna wait for the next Nexus. Saves me the headache of whether my phone will have the latest Android software.
[myTouch 4G General] Infrared28:
The next Nexus? Why not this Nexus? Curious.....
[myTouch 4G General] cmstlist:
Ugh, when you say same screen as the RAZR, I hope you don't mean including the PenTile matrix. I thought I wouldn't notice it at qHD resolution, but I tried it in store and the colour fringing was just awful.
[myTouch 4G General] Infrared28:
Unfortunately yes. I never seen the RAZRs screen. Didn't think it was that bad, if at all :/
[myTouch 4G General] Akulamenuri:
If you are waiting for the greatest smartphone you will be waiting forever, there is always going to be a rumor about a supposed OMG smartphone RIGHT before you was about to purchase the smartphone you thought was awesome. In my opinion, to have a really satisfying smartphone experience there needs to be great utilization of software and hardware. Software is something that has always been a bit of a hindered on devices with custom skins (most of the Android ecosystem). The only ways to really circumvent this is to either buy a Nexus devices or root your device in HOPES of finding a solid ROM to flash. I think this makes the decision quite easy, buy the Galaxy Nexus.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
It all depends on when you're eligible for an upgrade.
[myTouch 4G General] mackster248:
Yeah as TJ said, my contract doesn't end till late summer of next year. Plus I have a G2x now so might as well hold out. Although since nVidia has a thing about releasing drivers ICS straight from AOSP will probably be gimped on this phone, so maybe I'll sell it for something else that has ICS.

Nexus phones may not have the best and most up to date hardware, even though it's pretty close, but getting one saves me the headache of wondering if my current phone will have Android's next firmware.
[myTouch 4G General] jojo7972:
im waiting it out .....I wanna quadcore phone with ICS and sense out the box.
[myTouch 4G General] johnchad14:
Could care less how many cores, more excited for upcoming 28 and 32 nm chips...hooray efficiency
[myTouch 4G General] Infrared28:
Exactly!
[myTouch 4G General] JesseMT4G:
There will always be the next biggest thing around the corner, especially with Android phones. I usually go through 2 phones in a contract and my new contract is up on February. I will be rocking the latest and greatest ......for that month, lol!
[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
2 wow..
[myTouch 4G General] ECBomb:
I'd say holding onto the MT4G would be good for now and wait for a quad-core as that would be a huge leap and a worthy upgrade. And boy, dual-cores didn't last very long lol.
[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
Damn.. that's the best answer I've read so far..I agree with you..
[myTouch 4G General] crawler9:
Even though my last phone on contract was a Nexus One in May or so of last year, I'm currently eligible for an upgrade due to some network issues that were plaguing me for a short time. I was itching for something a bit newer, so I sold my N1 and bought a used myTouch 4G here on XDA. I figured at the time, I'd wait for dual-core phones before I used my upgrade through T-Mobile.

I thought the dual-core phones were gonna be really good and heard the G2x was gonna have amazing support, so I picked one up. When I received phone after phone plagued with backlight bleeding, I decided to take that as a sign and wait for quad-core and that's what I'm doing. I returned them all and plan to wait.

With the extra 256MB of RAM, the myTouch 4G is already a jump from my old Nexus. It runs Sense ROMs so much more smoothly and honestly, even ignoring the bleeding and reboots on the G2x's I had, the performance increase is negligible between the myTouch 4G and the G2x (at least to me). I figured... screw the dual-cores. I'll upgrade when it's really worth it! :cool:

I'm quite interested in the HTC Edge. 32GB of internal storage, large screen, 1.5GHz quad-core processor. All sounds good. The only thing I'm slightly disappointed in is the 1GB of RAM. That's not that out of the ordinary- I'd be more exited to have maybe a gig and a half, just for a little bit of future proofing. It's also seems a bit weird that it's only supposed to have 21mbps. =\... still, that's what I'm planning on, unless something better is reported and not far off. Until then... the myTouch 4G has enough power to hold me over.
[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
Yea.. your right, I agree as well..as for the 1gig I heard and read somewhere that Samsung galaxy s3 is coming out and should have 2g ram, 16megapix..but like you said its worth waiting..mytouch 4g still rocks...
[myTouch 4G General] NatsuDragneell:
Whoa Samsung galaxy s 3 specs sound awesome

Just buy a laptop or tablet for gods sake
[myTouch 4G General] dementor123:
While we are on this, imagine this - future phones shipping with little fans to dissipate heat from all those quad core processor just like laptops :)
[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
Never.. I can see the future of android phones is just changing the world we live in.. I mean.. you can carry your phone and almost do anything. With a laptop or desktop computer you are almost limited..then we have apps that can do almost anything as well.. a tablet maybe, but for laptops.. I think am done..:D
[myTouch 4G General] chukis13:
You really think you need a quad core in a phone?
[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
Yes and no..with the abilities of today's android devices I think quad core is worth a try, but I wouldn't try a hexa core.:D
[myTouch 4G General] cmstlist:
How about a triskaideka (13) core processor? Only for the non superstitious ;-)

[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
lol.. that's not going to happen..:D
[myTouch 4G General] Mehtab Singh:
I think quad cores will be an overkill for a phone..mytouch has decent hardware for just about anything for now..
[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
Why overkill?
[myTouch 4G General] Mehtab Singh:
Because you have tablet/laptop for that purpose..Also having quad-core on phone will reduce the talk time.
[myTouch 4G General] killerkem:
Really? So it like double edge sword??
[myTouch 4G General] Mehtab Singh:
At least that is what I believe.You don't need quad-core to run the latest android..and maybe even 2-3 years from now :)
[myTouch 4G General] cmstlist:
You should read up on Tegra 3 technology. The companion core runs exclusively whenever nothing high-intensity is required. The extra cores come online one by one whenever the extra processing power is needed. This makes it

more power-efficient

than a dual-core Tegra 2 and potentially even compared to single.
[myTouch 4G General] Mehtab Singh:
But why would you want to pay extra when you only need one core to run android?
[myTouch 4G General] cmstlist:
I was specifically referring to the talk time point. A Tegra 3 phone should not have reduced talk time under normal usage conditions, more likely the opposite.

The extra processor boost helps for some specific applications like HD video playback, gaming, and general smoothness when multitasking.

One sample site I noticed that made a difference on dual-core is the MuchMusic Degrassi streaming video site. For whatever reason they don't let you dial down the video quality on that site, and every single-core Android I've thrown at it produces unwatchable stuttering results (including the 1.5 GHz single-core HTC Flyer). On the other hand almost every Tegra 2 phone or tablet I've tried it on plays the videos back smoothly.
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
Of course phones dont NEED 4 cores... but in that same logic cars dont NEED to go 200 mph, but we have ones that do. And they cost more than the ones that dont go 200 mph.
[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
It's all supplies and demands..:D give the people what they want, at the same time tell your competition you are better than them. But let's be honest look at samsung galaxy s2, it's battery life can actually last for 3days before charging, and it's a dual core, so i don't think the battery life on Tegra 3 quad core phone would be that bad, but i look forward to what htc has to offer, also looking forward to samsung galaxy S3...;)yeahhhhhhhh
[myTouch 4G General] Mehtab Singh:
But going at that speed is dangerous for your life too

http://alltheragefaces.com/img/faces/jpg/misc-true-story.jpg
[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
lol, i've came close, top speed i did was 140 mph:o:D
[myTouch 4G General] Mehtab Singh:
Most of the stuff is on youtube...and that stuttering might be due to internet as when I download videos they play out very nicely..

[myTouch 4G General] Jeb_Sanders:
Anyone looked at the Asus Padphone yet? Tegra 3 chip, supposed to drop soon.
[myTouch 4G General] mygti02:
it probably wont release till May or June
[myTouch 4G General] Jeb_Sanders:
February is what I read last, but just like the Transformer Prime, they'll probably push it back as well
[myTouch 4G General] mygti02:
from what i understand they will be showing it a MWC in Feb, but wont be released till later. Its all speculation right now, i just hope Verizon picks it up.....right now im with T-mobile and want to switch because their service is sucking right now....i have had my mytouch4G replaced 4 times now and they wont do anything for me. Was going ot pick up the GNex but know quad-core is around the corner....saw the padfone and was like, now that is what i have been looking for :)
[myTouch 4G General] Jeb_Sanders:
It does look pretty good, and I've always had great luck with Asus products. TMo isn't awesome here either, but it's hard to beat the price point. Verizon's 4g is ballin though. What's happening with your MT4G?
[myTouch 4G General] mygti02:
constantly locking up, i have tried different ROM's, no overclocking, cleared data off SD-card, number of factory reset and it still shuts down on its own. I pull the battery, try to power it back on but just get boot loops, so i have to do a factory reset again......the factory resets happen about 2 times a week. The phone will be next to me, with full bars and someone tries to call me but the phone never rings. Voicemails and texts dont get to me till hours later. Dropping calls like crazy. All the network issues are happening everywhere im at. Not in one location. The phone issues have happened on all 4 phones, and its happening on my wife mytouch4g as well.

When i talk to T-mobile, they want to send me a sidekick, which get worse reviews on their own site and isn't even a comparable phone to the mytouch4g. the part that kills me is 2 reps say to me that HTC chose the sidekick as a replacement phone for me.....uuummmm isnt the sidekick developed by samsung now? Why would HTC recommend a competitor phone??? I have never been so pissed with T-Mobile, their Customer Service people have been completely rude during this whole thing. I never yell at them or talk down to them on the phone...i mean its just a phone so im calm and collected, so i know its not the way im speaking to them. Even my wife agree's. Maybe im just getting the bad eggs on the phone? who knows....but i want to switch and tell them to shove their ETF up their you know whats. To me i feel they dont have grounds to charge me the ETF since they are not providing the service as stated in contract.
[myTouch 4G General] Jeb_Sanders:
Wow that's crazy, esp on multiple devices. Maybe a bad SIM card? We've had some problems with TMobile too, ended up doing some "research" on management contacts and found a VP that magically made our problems resolve. Where are you located?
[myTouch 4G General] mygti02:
SIM's were actually replaced each time the phones were replaced.

I am located in chicago.....well suburbs of Chicago :)
[myTouch 4G General] Jeb_Sanders:
Not sure if it will help but if you want it, we probably have the VP of New England's personal cell #. He was very pleasant and assigned a special rep to deal with us.
[myTouch 4G General] mygti02:
ya if you want to PM me his info that would be great! Maybe he could point me in the right direction.
[myTouch 4G General] Jeb_Sanders:
Alright, let me dig around the office, may take a bit to find it
[myTouch 4G General] mygti02:
not a problem....i really appreciate your help
[myTouch 4G General] jr_718:
Am starting yo think its just 4mini cores which would equal 2whole cores. To make us think its actually an individual core. Anyways until its released.
[XPERIA X8 General] Jdionisio:
what is the best camera apps for w8? i just downloaded Vignette and Pro HDR Camera but i got problem when i capture picture the photos comes in green color with strange shape why is this happen? pls hep me!

my phone:

V2.3.4 XGin 5.0 installed
[XPERIA X8 General] AntwnhsAnt:
Maybe because xgin 5.0 doesn't use the 3mp libs and its camera is limited to VGA.

You should change the photo quality to VGA through settings.

Why are you using such an old ROM?
[XPERIA X8 General] Jdionisio:
becus i cant use the latest roms with [data,META-INF,system] inside the zip,I tried different roms but this is the only one works for me i downloaded XGin5.0 zip and it has XGin5.0 folder inside and i put the folder inside xrecover>backup
[XPERIA X8 General] snoid_zero:
for your ROM, try gingerXperia V13...you can flash it using xrecovery.

CWM will be automatically installed if you flashed it successfully.

By then, you can now install other ROMS like GingerDX using CWM.

and as for your camera problem you can try camera360...search for it.
[Xoom Accessories] ataomega:
hello all

where can i buy xoom's parts?

i need its data card (mini pci e gsm / 3g data card)

new or second hand ..

thanks
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
sigh..............
[Xoom Accessories] radi0chik:
patass that's a nice helpful reply. </scarcasm>

ataomega - try Verizon.
[Xoom Accessories] Psychokitty:
My guess is that patass doesn't get out much.
[Xoom Accessories] patass:
He's looking for a sim that will enable 3g, and your actually telling him to go to Verizon. A gsm one at that.

Sigh....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
I'm not gonna lie, Once an ARM release for Windows 8 gets released, I will put it on the Prime ASAP. Why?

I have been following the Build of Windows 8 for some time. I must admit, I am whole-heartily impressed at the awesome features that are coming. The developer tools that Microsoft released will also make it easy for developers to port their apps to x86 and ARM. The marketplace will open up a store that half a billion people could potentially look at.

Windows is the behemoth of the computing age and they are charging directly into mobile computing. I choose Windows over Android because I want more than what Android has to offer.

I want good browsers, application support, enterprise support, and a desktop OS with Metro integration.

If you want to see why I am excited for Windows 8, don't listen to me!

Watch the first Keynote and you will be wowed at what's coming:

http://channel9.msdn.com/events/BUILD/BUILD2011/KEY-0001

Also, here is the Build Blog, where Microsoft is actually taking advice on creating Windows 8.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/

I hope everyone is as excited as I am for what's coming. Remember this: Even if you hate Windows-everything, you should be excited for it. Windows 8 will force Android and iOS to really push harder in creating a full-fledged mobile OS.

The Prime is the perfect tablet for both Android, and Windows 8.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jblah:
how much is it going to cost to buy windows 8 for the transformer? if its anything like the current windows, you will have to pay for upgrade and all that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
That's a good question. Just like every other Windows release out there, if you are too poor; Piracy is just too easy. But I don't think I will resort to that. Something I have noticed is the lack of mentioning toward different versions of Windows 8. If feels as if there will be the consumer, server edition, and ARM edition(?).

I don't know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] StuMcBill:
Why don't you just wait and get a Windows tablet, if you want a Windows tablet?

Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
Because why wait? Windows 8 works great on the Tegra 3 chip! 1GB of RAM is plenty as Windows 8 uses less memory than Windows 7. Also, I love the Transformer. I'm sure Asus will release the Prime for Windows variant, but I love Android as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hagba:
In my opinion Ms has missed the train and that they did it twice,the first one being when they left the WM unsupported and went to WP7 there by giving up the lead to the emreging OSs with a very big margin,and now another grave mistake will be if x86 apps will not run on the ARM version,which will need a couple of years to develop new ones,well I can imagine the IOS and android with there aliready big advantage where will they be by than!!.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xTRICKYxx:
Microsoft is making a painful transition. They are working hard at porting their full Windows OS onto ARM. I believe they see that ARM architecture will be the future of low-power, high performance computing. They will certainly support Windows 8, but what they will struggle with is convincing all x86 developers supporting the Windows platform to port their applications over to ARM as well. It is not Microsoft's fault that ARM will not run x86 applications; it is a necessity and Microsoft cannot afford to wait much longer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PhxkinMassacre:
ive actually been thinking about this. i love android and wouldn't replace it on the prime for the world but would it be possible without breaking some laws? i remember when the hd2 got wp7 there was a few threads in the evo forum saying that since we have the same hardware can we get it to. and apparently it violated "warez" or something so we couldn't. so... if this does come to the prime then it would be sweet but idk if it ever will... (p.s. i could be wrong so if anyone has anything to correct me on then please feel free)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] johnchad14:
I'm definitely interested in dual booting later.. hopefully win installation will be viable in some way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Smyc151:
I could be wrong about this, but I don't think it's the same case. WP7 is proprietary to Microsoft, which doesn't distribute it freely like Google does with Android. I also don't think consumers can buy a license for WP7 to put on any device, so if the phone doesn't come with it natively, it would be illegal to put it on a non-WP7 phone.

Windows 8, on the other hand, is purchasable buy consumers, so one could legally buy it and put it on whatever device they chose to.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtmerrick:
While i fail to see why you would WANT Windows 8, keep in mind that Microsoft may very well not release a purchasable version of Windows 8 ARM to consumers.
