From what you have said it seems the 2.1 isnt out on your network, I'm going to assume your phone is branded. By that i mean, locked to your provider with a customised firmware. If you cannot wait i suggest rooting and debranding, i believe you can visit this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=683793 . thats the one i used as i am also rather noobish, however its easy to follow and will flash 2.1 on your phone.

Hope this helps

country: Singapore

Carrier: Singtel

anyway, Im on T-Mobile USA, and i heard there is update out (2.1) in Singapore, but my phone says its up to date its still on 020 firmware.

is there a way to update to 2.1 without rooting, i heard of the flash tool but the guy didn't give very clear instructions.

so if someone can link me to that thread and also give me VERY detailed instructions it would be greatly appreciated.

i worked in a college cafeteria for a year just to save up enough money for my x10 and im not going to risk bricking it by doing something wrong

I've had my phone rooted and flashed with all sorts of different ROMs over the last several months, and it breaks for days every once in a while, so I'm looking to revert back to stock 2.1 with htc sense (or without I suppose).

However, I never made a backup for Nandroid, and I was wondering if someone could tell me how to reinstall HTC Sense UI.

Please please please please respond, I am without a phone. D:

what rom are you running? Does your phone boot to recovery? The reason I ask is because the above post will only help you if you are running a sense rom and can run htc sync. I had a promblem like this before and took me 3 days straight tooo fix. I figure I'd help you out and save you some time. If you can boot the rom and its a sense just do what the above post says and download the ruu and install via htc sync. But if you cant boot the rom or your running a froyo rom pm me I'll help you out.
[Captivate Accessories] Enhanced:
While I do like Swyping, I find that it becomes difficult as one's hands get a tiny bit sweaty or even dirty. You fingers seem to stick to the screen which makes Swyping fairly difficult and almost impossible to be accurate. While I do try to be as clean as possible, sometimes your hands get sweaty for whatever reasons such as if you wear gloves or keep them in your pockets for a while.

I am just wondering if there is a screen protector out there that allows for a totally smooth surface, despite any sweat, dirt or other things that could be on your fingers? I recently got the Realooks and while they are very clear and does a good job resembling the feeling of the bare screen, it has the same issues while Swyping. There may even be a little bit more of a finger resistance with the Realooks on.

I was thinking and thought that maybe a screen protector with a matte finish would be ideal for Swyping. Matte screen protectors are smooth and most are anti-fingerprint which I assume would be very good for Swyping.

Has anyone had any experience with a matte finish screen protector while Swyping?

Any suggestions overall?
[Captivate Accessories] Angelmsx:
i use an anti-glare screen protector from Clarivue (.com) that is matte finish and has a very smooth surface that makes using swype very comfortable and easy. I used clarivue on my N1 as well when i had swype, and i recently got the captivate and i couldnt live without the smooth surface from the screen protector so i had to buy another pack. it is anti scratch and anti smudge, although from what ive seen, it does affect the clarity of the amoled to a certain extent.
[Captivate Accessories] kegobeer:
I use whatever screen protector that my AT&T store sold - works well with swype.
[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
i have something similar to the invisashield body shield but i cant remember who made mine. i ordered off ebay an in came in an envelope with no branding. like someone with a laser etcher/cutter got a hold of the material and made it in his garage. it has the typical invisishield orange peel look but feels like it has natural oils in it. it is always very slick and doesn't show finger prints. it never feels greasy or sticky or dry. just slightly oily but i have heard that's not typical of the invisishield brand so it might not be the same material. if i come across the add ill post it.

also antiglare protectors are good for that but the ones i bought had bad adhesive on the edges, also i find that anti glare have a good amount of reflection to them and are only better than hard plastic protectors that can be milky, i can read through an invisishield in sunlight better than an anti glare and no screen protector at all is better than that.
[Captivate Accessories] Shovelhead84:

Hey new myTouch 4G owners. I know your loving your phone so far but I and many others want to know one thing. How is your battery life so far? Compared to your previous phone?? and have it manage a day through your heavy usage yet? :D

Thanks! :cool:

P.S: if you can, report your "display" on time or just take a picture of "battery use" ..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhipple:
I use the "Battery Left Widget". It's about 80% calibrated right now, reporting that my full battery life (based on my usage) is roughly 15 1/2 hours.

Having used the same widget on the Nexus One, I'd say it's pretty much right in line with what I was getting there.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram130:
Hmm I guess no great battery life then?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhipple:
I must say though that my phone probably isn't the best representative for battery life... Reception here at work is weak, causing the phone to boost it's power output.

When I am at home, I get much better battery life.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HamNCheese:
Mine only came about 60% charged.

So far my battery has been the best of any android phone so far (Nexus -> G2 -> MyTouch 4G). I have about 10 sync accounts going (2 gmail, facebook, rss feeds, etc) and with moderate use I have 40% or so at the end of a day. Screen is on auto, quite usable in any light.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_licious:
The battery will need a few charging cycles to reach its full potential. I'd recommend fully discharging and fully charging it the first few times (and every so often after a few weeks of use). You probably won't get the most representative results on day 2 after launch. Was the same for my Nexus and G2

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneBadLT123:
I bought the MT this past Wed and when I bought it, the level was at about 40-50%. I was messing around with it, adjusting it and it lasted for a good 3-4 hours with the factory charge.

I let it die then fully charge and removed it from the charger. That charge held from 5am all the way until 1am the that late evening with regular use. It died and again I did a charge and disconnect.

I have done this same cycle for the last 3 days and right now. I can consistently keep a high charge for the most part of the day with average use. I disconnected the charger this morning at about 1 am, and here I sit now at 945pm with still over 75% charge.

Seems like this phone really likes the power cycles right now. Full to dead, recharge then remove until dead...etc.

Since Wed afternoon, I have charged my phone only 3 times since purchase, and right now it is Sat night. This is with average use, brightness set about 25%, auto sync only for email, weather, tmobile and no task killer used
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
You must remember this phone is using a powerful 1Ghz snapdragon, with a small battery. By default android uses the governor called ondemand, in other words it automatically shoots up to max freq during use. But once the 4G is rooted, you can use SetCpu to make changes, tmo will probably make an update though to address the issue. I can't really see extended batteries being made to small without needing a new back. I'm considering the 4G, I currently use both phones in my sig, my slide can get 2 days max, my G1 around 10hrs. It all depends on how you use the phone.

tips:

-turn down brightness

-turn off gps/Bt/wifi

-switch to 2g/3g/H depending on signal

-dial *#*#4636#*#* to modify radio settings(2g/3g/etc)

-turn off background updates(twitt/fb/flickr/etc)

Mine has been terrible this last week. Im out of the country so I have had my phone on airplane mod with the background and autosync off and i have been getting really bad battery life. I went to bed at midnight with 65% and by 6:30 in the morning it was dead, so the next day i charged it and had it with me to see how lond it would last after 6 hours it was down to about 20%, i checked the battery usage and the only two things listed were android os and phone idle. I didnt even have the display on all day so it never made an impact on my % used. Im not sure whats wrong yet.

Mine is OK so far, but not totally impressed yet. I don't have a great log like some others, so won't ***** at all.

I can say it sucked until I "conditioned" it a few times and saw some improvement. Then installed and am using SuperPower to automate enabling of data/gps/wifi/bt/etc and it's working all right, though I don't think it's yet optimized for any 4G phones as it only has switch options for 2G/3G. It's also still in beta, but has lots of potential to significantly improve battery life.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werk:
My battery life has been...well, all over the place. When I first got it, it was very good, lasting from 7AM til I hit the sack around 11PM (it'd be around 8-10% at this point) with a couple hours of calls, an hour or so of angry birds, a couple hours of browsing, Exchange & Gmail push going all day, GPS & WiFi both on.

However, the other day my phone was warm and I noticed the battery had dropped significantly. I tracked it down to the init process, as detailed here, which I fixed by enabling USB debugging (thanks to some enterprising Desire HD users for figuring this out):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=839935

Yesterday, my battery was great. Same usage pattern as before and around 8pm I had 50% or so battery left. Then I felt my phone buzz and I looked at it and I had another Watchdog notification. Oh no! I thought, the init problem is back! Not this time, though...this time the system suspend process was using 50% CPU whenever the phone was locked/screen off. This happened a couple of times until about 10pm when I restarted the phone and the problem went away. After that, the phone died at about 11PM.

Here is some documentation of the suspend process problem:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11126

http://www.google.com/cse?q=suspend...ub-2900107662879704:fs7umqefhnf&ie=ISO-8859-1

As you can see, many Evo users experience this problem.

I think both of these issues can be traced back to HTC's Android implementation. Why each only effects some users of their devices is a mystery to me, but so far the only common thread I can see is that they effects HTC devices more than others.

Unfortunately, with my bad luck, I get hit by both bugs. Hopefully the suspend process doesn't flip out again on me...right now I've been off-charger for 4 hours and still have 96% battery left. It is annoying to have to continually check/babysit my phone for misbehaving system processes (I could understand 3rd party apps) to make sure it'll make it through the day.

I forgot to mention that my phone is not rooted and I have the first OTA update installed. I am considering rooting, but being this is my first Android phone (although I have some Linux experience), I've been waiting and going through the info here and at other sites so that I can be sure that I know exactly what I'm doing when I do it.
