[myTouch 4G General] unremarked:

Also, I plan on picking up a black one myself tomorrow after returning my second G2. It's a nice phone, but after using a touch screen keyboard for so long I had to remind myself to use the physical one. Plus I really didn't like the weight of it and I don't trust the hinges to hold up for 2yrs or to keep particles from getting between the lower/top halves.

Honestly, I like the SenseUI on the MT4G after playing with a demo model the other day I might not go flash crazy on it. Probably will root it though to overclock it, custom kernels, or put optimized versions of stock ROM when we can/they are available.
[myTouch 4G General] tenbeau:
I just returned from shipping my G2 back and I am going to order a MT4G tomorrow. The G2 is a very nice phone but too many issues cropping up on a daily basis, and the reception was awful. I am leaning toward a red MT4G although I do like the white as well. I guess a coin flip to see which color it will be.
[myTouch 4G General] Mftek1:
Red ftw!

Right now I'm debating if I should do what u did...

Not sure?

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[myTouch 4G General] tony597fitter:
Just got back from the T-Mobile store. They had a couple of the MyTouch4 on demo to play around with.

I think Ill be keeping my G2. The MtTouch is a nice phone, but it still has the cheap plastic feeling that my old Mytouch 3g had. Plus the sense-ui was ugly.

Going to go back tomorrow to play around with it some more, when all the teenagers are in school.
[myTouch 4G General] jOrOdee:
me..... biggest seller for me is the front facing cam... and how it looks in general.. looks so CLEEEEEEN :cool:
[myTouch 4G General] Lockeskidney:
we just have to wait for it to be optimized. All the of the current video calling apps are having issues with it
[myTouch 4G General] ArcticWolf91:
I am more excited about using the FFC for self-portraits than for video calling! Should make taking FB pictures A LOT easier! :D
[myTouch 4G General] vikramdhani:
I dont know if i will pull the trigger and buy the phone
[myTouch 4G General] Noyabronok:
G2 is getting WiFi

Looks like you pulled the trigger a little too early. G2 is getting WiFi calling.

I can't post links yet, but go to Phandroid and see the news for yourself.
[myTouch 4G General] Scoop24:
i sold my HD2 for $300 on ebay.. i'll will be picking this up on my lunch break.
[myTouch 4G General] dangthemang:
i'm gettin one i just haven't decided on color yet.
[myTouch 4G General] tenbeau:
I returned my G2 yesterday and ordered the MT4G online early this morning.

They gave me the upgrade price discount but the rep claimed I could only order white, I questioned it and she said that was the only way she could upgrade my account as I was not actually eligible for upgrade. After a little discussion I said ok. After thinking about it for a few monents I called back and talked to another rep who said that I could surely have a red one but the order was already placed and it would take time and create confusion to cancel the order and start all over again. I decided that the extra 3-5 days wait would not be worth it as I will put a case on it anyway. So if anyone orders online do not let them tell you that you are limited to whatever color they want to throw at you.
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
i sold my hd2 and im picking up the mytouch 4g in white in 2 1/2 hours from now lol i cant sleep anymore. they open at 9am lol cant wait!
[myTouch 4G General] Mr Bill Florida:
I just picked up my myTouch4G. This thing is amazing.
[myTouch 4G General] Lockeskidney:
you have HSPA there?
[myTouch 4G General] Mr Bill Florida:
Yes, I have HSPA+ located here in the Tampabay area. It has not left it since I picked up the phone at 9:15am eastern this morning. My mytouch3g bounced between 3g and H constantly.
[myTouch 4G General] Lockeskidney:
what kind of numbers are you pulling on the speedtest.net app?

higher than your 3G?
[myTouch 4G General] zenlakin:
Going to head to the T-mobile store in about 30 minutes to pick up the MT4G for my wife. :)
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
picked mine up in tampa as well, only had black or plum though, wanted a red so i got a black and will wait for a red to show up to see which one i like better as this black one is so sexy...way nicer lookign then the vibrant that i replaced
[myTouch 4G General] jizital:
Just picked mine up about 2 hours ago in the tampa bay area also. only wanted black so i didnt check to see what colors they had. sent back my g2 to get the mt4g instead and im glad i did.
[myTouch 4G General] ekinnee:
Picked mine up and the screen quit accepting input as soon as I got to work with it. Bummer.
[myTouch 4G General] agentaaron:
Just returned from getting a white one...I like it so far. Now I need people to try out the camera chat with (curse you Samsung/T-Mobile for taking the camera off the Galaxy S)
[myTouch 4G General] sym1:
Huh? :confused:

Do you mean the phone locked up or froze? Try a battery pull.
[myTouch 4G General] kryptik06:
ouch... mine is working perfectly picked it up a hour ago
[myTouch 4G General] Mr Bill Florida:
The tampa servers are slow, went to Mcclenny, Florida and got better speeds, I know speedtest.net always give me slower speeds than other testers give.

Image is attached..
[myTouch 4G General] Mr Bill Florida:
just received the update and ran another speedtest...

New results on new firmware... MUCH FASTER...
[myTouch 4G General] DKYang:
You guys could try using dslreport's speedtest. Just use the "iPhone" version and it should work fine. Go visit there site. I'm also in the Tampa area so that's what I use when I think speedtest isn't giving me accurate speeds.
[myTouch 4G General] ekinnee:
Tried that, it's like the digitizer crapped out. No swiping to unlock or anything.

Good news is, I already got it replaced!
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
hey u just got an update on ur mt4g? i just got the white one out here in cali and where i am there is no 4g but it still shows the h sign but i can only pull 700kb a second which sucks but i always had that slow of internet with 3g at my house. so far i love this phone its quick and i love it.
[myTouch 4G General] Mr Bill Florida:
Yea, I picked it up just after 9am eastern and received the update around 1:30pm eastern..
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
i wonder what the update was for? i havent got it yet but i dont see anywhere on the phone to check for new software up dates.

ok i just got the update at 6pm pacific time to android 2.2.1 but idk what the update really did though and i cant find out nothing about it on google.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
so i am trying to restore to an old back up but every time i do it it takes me to the Android System recovery. I have tried the following from the system recovery reinstall packages>then backup and restore>restore> and i tried with the following backups: 10-18-10_JI6_Lag_Fix, 10-29-10_Bionix_Voodoo, 11-02-10_Fusion_Voodoo. i even disabled voodoo tried to restore again and nothing it keeps sending me to Android recovery system. i would have to use Odin and start all over again, whats the purpose of a backup if i cant get it to work. any ideas?

p.s. i also took out battery and put it back in and took me back to Android recovery system.

EDIT:ok so i tried to go back to stock (JI6) and no luck, on the Odin i get RESET (in blue) the phone resets and goes back to Android system recovery. i tried to reboot and nothing only goes back to system recovery the only time i get PASS (in green) is when i disconnect the phone.

what am i to do i am freaking out. i am downloading JFD but i am worried it will happen the same thing, any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demize!:
Use the all in one ji6. Odin zip in the stickie. Then try to flash a different. Rom.

Is your phone Loki? Use Odin. You'll be Thor!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
was able to finally download JFD and it seems to be working as its taking a while to finish. how long is it supposed to take? its been a while since i last restored to stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinyBuddha:
Usually takes about 10-15 minutes per the readme in the Official Firmware Odin Thread.

edit: I used Odin 1.3 on my machine (Win7 Pro 64-bit) when I went back to stock (instead of the v1.0 in the thread). The newer 1.53/1.7 releases weren't out yet...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
i have been stuck for almost an hour, i think there is something really wrong.... :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
why wouldn't i be able to restore a back up? did i have to disable voodoo?? this is what i don't understand, made backups but i cant restore.......:mad::confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
can't restore old backups - solved well kind of

EDIT: after hours of sweating and thinkin i would have to get a new phone i was finally able to get my phone of the Android system recovery by flashing Eugenes Froyo That does not Brick the reflashing JFD. But my original question is : trying to restore to an old back up but every time i do it it takes me to the Android System recovery. I have tried the following from the system recovery reinstall packages>then backup and restore>restore> and i tried with the following backups: 10-18-10_JI6_Lag_Fix, 10-29-10_Bionix_Voodoo, 11-02-10_Fusion_Voodoo what is the proper way to restore a backup and is it worth is cause in my case it did not work.

EDIT: well i got my answer on how to back up, it seems that i need to back up/restore with voodoo disable. That was my mistake, all the back ups i had were with voodoo enabled and when i went to restore i didnt disable it but it would not have matter since i did the back ups with voodoo enabled. It would have been a good idea to advise people that when doing their back ups to disable voodoo first and when restoring them to do the same, this would have avoided a lot of lost time and frustration. Now i have to go back and redo everything again and remember which apps i had and reinstall them. Lesson learned and hope this helps. (thanks to jdkackley for the insight)

Hi ppl

I am new member of this forum and i hope to learn more about this theme.

I have some questions about my htc touch 3g.

Is it possible to install WM 6.5 on the HTC Touch 3G?

How can I do?

Is there any toturial for noobs like me?

The mobile phone operating system by what is understood by a rom? Is that it?

After the installer is possible to change to Portuguese?

Sorry it both ways.

The fact that a big NOOB.

And my English.

Cumps for all users
[Touch 3G General] thatguy1982:
yes its possible. first thing you need to do is install hardspl, this CID unlocks your device and will allow you to flash any rom.. Search it here as its VERY important you know what it does and how to install it.

next you can find a winmo 6.5 cooked rom from here, and maybe one with Portuguese language, Again , search for it. i would do it for you , but its close to my bedtime :)
[Touch 3G General] JotteX:
sorry but you could by some link's?

I'll research more SPL but it has been a great help for what they've had to do.

THANKS: D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yrdito:
i have 3.2.1 version and it lags if i upgrade will it work smooth? :confused: :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carnegie0107:
Ummmm.... you're gonna have to be a tad bit more detailed in your question there. That version didn't lag for me, nor does the latest. If it's lagging, I'm guessing it's because you don't have enough free RAM, or your CPU is too busy. Updating an app won't fix that. Go to settings > applications > manage applications > running, and kill all the ones you can spare. Also, removing a couple unnecessary widgets will help. (if you have, say, ADW with 7 screens of 5x5 icons and a dozen or more widgets, then anything is going to lag, sorry).

I have been using advanced task killer free for a few days and have not noticed any difference in battery life. Shall i keep or uninstall?
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
same here, but its not bad, and its kill some appz and spece memory - so way not ?
[Desire HD General] linuxmotion:
google states that Android Users do not need to use task killers. Programs are left in memory for latter use, the system will even load programd you haven't used yet if the system thinks you might use it. These programs stored in memory use very little power and might actually use more because the program has to reload every time its used. I used task killers for a little. But now i don't.

Sent from Conical .07
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Android doesn't need task killers really, if memory gets low then Android will close apps to free up memory, I find that if an app is using to much memory though...like a bad app the task killer is useful ..

To find out if an app is leaking memory you can donwload Watchtower for free to take a look whats going on..

I wouldn't uninstall it, just no need to use it so often..Android usually looks after itself..most of the time.
[Desire HD General] appelflap:
Task killers are actually a very bad idea. Many apps are making use of a background services, killing them as well (what most blind killers do) will result in a totally unpredictable behavior.

As a developer I really hate them. I have one app which totally depends on a background service. I get sometimes really weird error reports... questioning a little further always reveils that taskkillers have blown away the back-end of this app.
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Task killers are stupid. Android has a linux base. The linux way is to cache a bunch of data into memory to allow apps to start and run faster.

How much free memory you are showing is actually meaningless because should an app require more memory the kernel will reallocate memory to the active task, automatically stripping it from idle tasks.

If you are trying to save power what its relevant is which apps are using cpu cycles. As fat as I know the only task killer type app which monitors cpu usage instead of memory usage is Watchdog.

8pen has just been released in the Market, I have just installed it and typing this with it, it is strange but I think it could be OK once I get used to it.

[Desire Themes and Apps] Jiia:
Wow that looks just terrible. Typing a single letter with that takes like 10 times more time compared to a qwerty keyboard. It might be less error prone when you get used to it but it's still slow as hell.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Moe5508:
Suggest you email dev and he may allow you to purchase via PayPal and send you the app. Problem with that is you always have to check his official app site and remind him to email you any update released. I purchased a To Do app called DueToday like that, oh, and also Tasker in a similar manner. Sucks but what can we do? ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Moe5508:
BlindType looked so promising and I was waiting for it to get released. Then Google bought the company out! So you'll definitely most likely see BlindType as default keyboard on Gingerbread (Android 3.0)...conjecture...

[Desire Themes and Apps] iemand12:
I like the idea of an inputmethod that does not involve pressing small keys, but what about lanscape mode? i've got swype and it works great, and if i want to type even faster, i can just go to landscape mode, and i bet landscape mode isn't gonna be easy to use on the 8pen keyboard, which makes it difficult when typing long texts, i don't think this little program is going to have a promising future...
[Desire Themes and Apps] flaxjef:
I am using it now and it is very difficult. Swype is much faster.

It is horrible, try it yourself!
[Desire Themes and Apps] djind:
I tried it and although I was excited about it at first, it's not a very pleasant experience. It takes too long to spell words and you have to learn a keyboard all over again. Layout could have been better I think. I am not fan of swype, but I think that is a much better experience. This is better than the WinMo6 small keyboards, but nothing compared to the keyboards found in any Android, WP7 and iOS device.
[Desire Themes and Apps] StuMcBill:
Tried it, wanted to like it, didn't like it.

i have sweaty palm and i live in humid and hot climate. dragging finger across the screen is just nightmare for me any type of input similar to 8pen or swype never work since sweaty finger just create enough drag to really make the finger almost stuck. Normal input work much better.

[Touch Pro CDMA] antilamr:
I have Froyo running from SD card on TP. I'm on a old retention family plan with unlimited txt, data etc at evdo speed. When I use the phone it shows

3g as the speed connection. Per the Sprint CS reps, my "plan is not compatable" with the new phones offered and I will need to get a new plan (ie.. everything $69) to be able to use a newer phone with the faster data speeds. (I know this is BS). My question to all of you is;

1. If my phone is using the 3g network, can sprint find out the actual data speed my phone is using?

2. If they do find out I'm using the faster data network that my plan doesn't offer, what will/can they do to me for it?

Sorry if this is a lame question but I don't want to give up my old plan and do enjoy using Froyo on my TP. Once I can afford a more expensive plan I'll probably go with the EVO or what ever comes after it.
[Touch Pro CDMA] antilamr:
Come on everyone. 100 views and no replys? I want to continue to use Froyo on my Touch Pro but don't want to get burned by Sprint for using their 3g network when all I'm contracted for is evdo. Any one have a clue? Thanks.
[Touch Pro CDMA] gmp029:
I have the same issue, old retention plan with unlimited data included, but "incompatible" with newer phones. I have been testing out xdandroid builds for a few months now without any issues related to billing. I don't think sprint can tell.
[Touch Pro CDMA] bri3d:
It's conceivable that Sprint could monitor their data network watching for Android activation requests from "non-Android" phones (various GSM carriers have been known to do this).

But, to the best of anyone's knowledge, they don't. I've run a Vogue with Android for almost a year (and briefly run Froyo on my Touch Pro) without issue, and so have countless others.

The "speed" thing is a moot point - there are even dumbphones with EV-DO.

I wouldn't worry about it.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Talon Pro:
Sprint doesnt have 3G, they have EV-DO. 3G is a GSM speed format. Also, i doubt unless you are pulling down 5gigs of data a month they would even say anything. At that point it would be apparent that you are tethering. I routinely pull down 500megs + with normal browsing. Never been asked anything.
[Touch Pro CDMA] thesteve42:
CDMA 3G is typically known as EVDO rev A, and common among most phones these days.

the actual data rate you pull is throttled by your carrier, and not controlled by your phone.

tethering is typically discovered due to a registry setting specifically forcing a new data connection for the tethered device separate from the phone data.
[Touch Pro CDMA] igorlak2:
They probably can but they wont bother with you unless you are a top tear data user.
