MT4G is your best choice out of the two... Evo is a awesome phone too but I like being able to switch sim cards from phone to phone.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I'll probably get fanboys from each forum but I'm sure there will be enough objective info to glean.

Thanks folks![/QUOTE]

I came from an Evo to MT4G only because Sprint has had two of their three towers "down" for several months and the service is terrible. That said, I've been with TMO for less than a week now and we can't get MMS (picture mail) to go out or receive reliably and regular texts are spotty at best. ONly the voice calling is first rate. As far as the phone goes, I'd give anything to keep my Evo. I hate the physical buttons on the bottom as I prefer my Evo touch-buttons. I also miss the larger screen for most things, but not for typing in landscape. The smaller screen is better for that. The larger screen is better for typing in portrait mode, though. I don't see any difference at all in the speed, but then I had rooted my Evo and tried all the major ROMs and kernals and have it tweaked pretty good. The screens look the same, as far as color and clarity, but movies and games are always better on a larger screen. I hope someone releases as an Evo-type phone in GSM so I can get it back. I'll pay any price for it! LOL Two other major complaints is that the power plug is on the left side of the phone where you'd prop it in it's kickstand case to run your bedside clock (I prefer "digital clock") as I did on the Evo. So you can't have it plugged in and run your landscape clock. I hate that!!! I'm hoping that we get a desk dock that will use the charging contacts on that side. I'm also not a fan of the trackpad... does anyone actually use it for anything? I don't like the fact that it turns on the phone as it's easy to bump. Also when I run programs like "no lock" so that I don't have to have a lockscreen, ANY button on the phone turns it on. WTF???? So I'm stuck with a lockscreen. I think lockscreens are absurd. I don't think I'll really get used to these problems... just have to grit my teeth and put up with them until ATT comes to town next month then try to find something I like with them. I can always go back to the iphone, but I'd hate to. By the way, I have a brand-new, never opened Evo with tons of accessories (car dock, 3500 mah battery, cases, etc) for sale on ebay right now. You can read on there why I have a brand new one to sell.

[EVO 4G General] daryllh:
I am going to post this in both forums. I think it will be an interesting read for each. haha

I'm on sprint. My Premier account is up and I can get a phone upgrade. I currently have a Hero and was going to get an EVO on Monday.

Because of the pro-rated ETF fees from Sprint, I can cancel my account for $120.

I watched several reviews for the My Touch 4g and was really impressed with the phone. The quadrant scores were cool to see. I realize that isn't the be all/end all but from the couple days of research I did on the phone, I am liking what I'm seeing.

I've read up on the EVO for several weeks now. I'm familiar with the phone and realize the amount of user support it has. I am 'pro root' so I would be looking for the root option in the future.

Price wise, T-Mobile and Sprint with WI-Max would be about the same cost to me each month.

With choosing to stay with Sprint I'd lose the Premier account status. I would have to sit with the MT4G for 2 years or buy out of pocket.

I'd be buying an 'older' phone but one that has a great user community. I'd probably be happy with the Evo until my next Premier renew date.

I'd have the Wi-Max network to use.

I'd have a better screen? I don't know yet as I haven't tried the MT4G at a store.

With choosing to go with T-Mobile I'd be getting a newer phone for the same price as I would pay for the Evo (ETF of $120 and I've seen the MT4G for sale for $80). Next gen processor.

I'd be losing screen real estate and the look and feel of the Evo which I've come to like.

I'd be losing the xda community support or the amount. I am sure the MT4G community will grow.

I'd be committed to T-Mobile for 2 years. I wouldn't be able to upgrade after 12 months.

***Coverage-wise, it's a tossup. I live in Minneapolis and have Wi-Max and from what I see on T-Mobile, HSPA+ is here too. A concern of mine is that when we travel back home (to eastern wisconsin) the coverage for T-Mobile is extinct. the website shows it using a different carrier. Sprint back home is 3g.

Not sure what I want to do. My friend who has an Evo looked at the MT4g and said he wouldn't switch based on looks. He hadn't investigated the phone in depth. Guess looks are important but I'm thinking a few other things that should weigh into the equation.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I'll probably get fanboys from each forum but I'm sure there will be enough objective info to glean.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
This is the only part I will comment on. I am in the south twin cities.

I have a t-mo 9700, and an evo. The t-mobile coverage here sucks. I drop calls at an alarming rate compared to the evo. Both the wimax and hspa give great speeds. I've driven all over Wisconsin...and you are right. Coverage there is EDGE at best in many areas for t-mobile.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
All I can say is my biggest selling point would be the service in the area. I switched from Sprint to Tmobile to get the HD2. When I got it... I soon realized I wouldnt keep it long. I didnt realize until the second day that it wasnt that my phone wasnt ringing inside my house it was that I had no reception lol. And standing outside and leaving the phone sitting by the window just to get a bar got old pretty quick. On top of that there were quite a few dead spots around my area where I would always drop calls or not be able to get data. I switched back after 2 weeks. So the first thing id do is make sure tmobile can give you at least equal service to what you have now... at LEAST. And I say that because a lot of people I know that have tmobile are hyping up the HSPA+ but they can barely even get 3G.

As far as phones go you really cant lose either way. Honestly I pay very little.. if any attention to that quadrant stuff. In real time day to day use the differences make little to no difference TO ME. Its like people were complaining about a "lag" of like 0.000000009 milliseconds compared to other phones when as a general user I could care less. Either way you decide in another month or so there will probably be something new out anyways that made you wish that you had waited lol.
[EVO 4G General] daryllh:
That's good to know. I'm more concerned about the data speeds as I spend about 50 minutes a month talking on my phone. Well, a hundred counting weekends.
[EVO 4G General] josh995:
I just switched from T-Mobile to Sprint a month ago. I had an HD2 on T-Mobile. My biggest comment....... I wish I would have done it sooner!!!! If I were you, I'd stay with Sprint. T-Mobile was good and al, but their coverage isn't all that great, compared to Sprint.

Sent from my HTC EVO 4G.
[EVO 4G General] goaliemn:
I'm also in the south twin cities (Apple Valley, specifically) and I'm currently with T-mobile. I have an EVO right now on their 30 day trial and coverage/speed is so much better than with my T-mobile mytouch. I've been working with Tmobile on my coverage issues, but they haven't been very helpful. I'm going to be dropping them soon and moving over to sprint.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
I'd love to comment, but the way a BB handles data I can't give you a real answer. It is faster than last spring...but on an android I don't know how it will stack up. Sprint speeds are quite good.

I'm on the Savage side of things. I do have the drop issue all over though. I heard it was because they dropped in network roaming or something along that line.
[EVO 4G General] daryllh:
I ended up ordering a mytouch. I'll take it for a 2 week spin.
[EVO 4G General] Shushunmire:
I switched from T-Mobile to Sprint a few weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier. I live in a city of 80,000, Saint Joseph, Missouri. The ONLY cell phone carrier here without 3g coverage is T-Mobile. They didn't even have EDGE until 7 months ago. There are parts of the city where cell coverage is non existant, and T-Mobile refuses to acknowledge it on their coverage map. When in Kansas City, I would get 3g speeds of 400kbps down and 500kbps up. It was pathetic.

T-Mobile's support is WONDERFUL, however their network is the worst I have ever seen.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Same here, in southern Missoura, att only has EDGE, Verizon has 1x (not sure if thats 3g or not), Sprint has 3g and pretty decent speeds. T-Mobile has no coverage out here, thats how I was able to terminate my contract without an ETF. T-Mobile is great in urban areas, but outside of larger cities reception and data speed leaves much to be desired, even along major interstates and highways.
[EVO 4G General] Anon9mouz:
I thought about the same thing but in all honestity sprints all around better. Im not gonna lie though from what u hear tmobiles supposed 4g actually faster then sprints but not to many markets so yea. Sprints a better choice or go verizon

samsung galaxy s no download mode problem solved

simple hardware solution

presented on the video

search in youtube :samsung galaxy s hardware lock fix

if you have good hands you can make one yourself, if not

i can create one adapter for you.

this is a self made adaptor as you see in the video.

it highly reccomended that if you make one, to use only 301K resistor,and check that the connections on the usb plug DO NOT touch each other , it works but can damage your phone.

[General Questions and Answers] Spini:
Hi all,

I know that the subject has been asked many times, but I have not found any satisfactory answer to the reason around the web... a small introduction first. I just bought a shiny new HTC Wildfire, but I was somehow scammed by the SFR (a French telephone company) because the employee refused to sell me the unlocked one - and my French was not that competitive with his ;) The difference in the price should have been of 10 euros, now to unlock it SFR asks me 65 euros... which is over the 25% of the cost of the phone! The only alternative I could find was to pay 30 euros to companies I do not know nor trust, and still that amount of money is not negligible. So I started looking for free alternatives, and found none but to wait the 6 months after which it seems that French operators are obliged to unlock it for free.

Now, the real question: I have read (many times) and accepted that rooting and SIM-unlocking are unrelated procedures, yet I couldn't find an answer to why. In my favorite Linux distribution, I open a terminal, write su, and then I can do anything, from unmounting hard disk and making dd on it at my own risk, to rewriting the kernel for fun. As far as I have seen, on Android it is pretty much the same, one gets full access and can even install a brand new OS, let's say Debian. In this picture, how is it possible that I cannot simply turn a flag like "SIM_LOCKED" off, while I can do so just using a magic, expensive, number? In my "naifness" I would think that once I have installed a brand new OS it will accept without questions any SIM I put in it... where am I wrong?

And if you are wondering, yes, it is pretty much a matter of money, I do not estimate a 2-year warranty the 25% of the price of a phone ;)
[General Questions and Answers] cedricmail:
hello,

i'm not sure i can answer your question, but few weeks ago the french providers decided to give the unlock code for free after 3months ago. So no more 6 months! even if it's still long....

And i'm interested about an answer for your question, my galaxy s is still locked Bouygues telecom...
