Is it a proprietary cable? Looks like a variation of mini USB. Need to get some back-ups for the cars and work...

Thanks!
[Focus Accessories] FL5:
It's a normal micro USB plug, but the plug is slightly recessed into the body of the device, and some cords with fatter ends may not fit well. I found some OEM Samsung cables on Amazon that weren't for the Focus specifically, and have rubbery ends instead of the hard plastic tips like the Focus cord has, but they're the same dimensions and work quite well.
[Focus Accessories] rhart20:
It is proprietary in a way. To charge the phone any micro usb will do however it will not connect to zune nor the pc without the included cable.
[Focus Accessories] JETninja:
Well, looking at Monoprice.com a few days ago, they several different mini-usb cables, some with 4, other with 5 connectors. I ordered 2 of each just to try with various devices I have, hoping some with work with the Focus's as well. Just charging would be fine with the Car, but want PC connection at Home and Work. (though BT works for that as well)

Anyone else? Lets see what we do about getting some inexpensive cables for these phones!
[Focus Accessories] wnpublic:
Every micro usb cable i have found (including one i got for 1.98 from amazon and one i got for 6.00 from frys) has worked just fine for all tasks
[Focus Accessories] JETninja:
My cables came in today, this one works just fine. 5 connector mini-usb, soon as I connected to my PC Zune software launched and synched items.

http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5457&seq=1&format=2

Just over a buck a piece....
[Focus Accessories] rhart20:
I guess I need to get some new cables. Good information.
[Focus Accessories] FL5:
The cables I got off Amazon for $3/each all work for syncing with the Zune software on my PC, but then, they're OEM, so they should even though they weren't made for the focus specifically. They were a bit shorter than the cable that came packed-in, but my chargers are pretty close to where I put my phone anyway, luckily, so that worked out.
[Focus Accessories] vermelo:
The OEM connector is so short. I always need to connect an extension to comportably use my phone while its charging.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ew4936:
Hi,

I just bought a desire z (t-mobile g2) and the battery cover doesn't seem to close properly. And when it is closed, it's not completely flush with the rest of the device. Has anybody else had this problem?

I'm not sure whether there's a problem with the device or the cover itself. It the problem is just with the cover it would save the hassle of having to go back and replace it since everything else about the phone is just perfect. Any feedback would be great.

Thanks!

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLOflatlander:
So i bought my incredible the second day they were released, and rooted it when unrevoked came out with their first one-click root program (so needless to say im not exactly a "new" root user). i've ran a couple roms, and lately have run stock leaks w/ added .zips for a little customization (about the past three months or so). i've been on the latest leak for like a month ish (i think its the latest one) possibly little bit longer than that. i never had a random reboot or even really any lag up, which was really amazing. then, i tried to install a custom flat black notifications bar, and i installed the update zip through recovery but it didnt do anything.

about two weeks later, i installed that new status bar power menu thing, and started to get the occasional random reboot and bog up. no really enough to really be a problem, but tonight right before bed my phone started boot looping after a random reboot (it would boot for a min or two then reboot after a lockup). so i pulled the battery and powered back on. then it loaded to the lockscreen, but every single app that should have started at startup began to repeatedly force close, so i couldnt use the phone. i tried three times but it happened every time. im nandroiding now, im sure that'll fix the problem, but any ideas what caused this? thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLOflatlander:
just happened again on ruby 2.0.0, but this time all of the apps force closed AND the "click android to start" setup screen came up. I got a random reboot (which i rarely to never have), pulled battery and powered back up, it loaded to lockscreen, then it went into a soft reboot and froze at the looping bootscreen, then once i pulled battery again and powered up, i got the crashes. any idea what it is? this time, it did happen like 15 min after i had dropped my phone from about 2 feet off the ground, i guess that could be it? idk
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
For what it's worth, I was running 2.3 and it wouldn't mount internal or SD. This happened even after installing other ROM's. I downloaded the latest RUU, unrooted, and started from scratch.

I reformatted the SD card too. I re-rooted, and restored my SD backup. I re-downloaded the ROM I wanted, and installed it. It fixed the weird issues I was having. You may want to consider starting over from scratch.

I have HSDPA not with the +(plus) symbol. I need help getting that + added on. any way how?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keyboardr:
3G means UMTS, not HSPDA. The myTouch 4G doesn't distinguish between HSPA+ and HSPA (it's the same radio). I've also never seen a '+' icon, and I don't think one exists. The stock icons are as follows:

H = HSPDA(3.5G)/HSPA+(4G)

3G = UMTS(3G)

E = EDGE (2.5G)

G = GPRS (2G... Really ****ty 2G)

Note: HSPA+ is backwards compatible with HSPA, so if you're in an HSPA+ market, you will never have HSPA. The change is software, not hardware. (Some markets don't have it yet, I suspect, due to backhaul concerns, but T-Mobile is pretty good about that)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunnyboy167:
I think it has alot to do with it being a T-mobile phone cuz they always try and make things hard for anyone using another sim carrier. I never got MMS to work until I flashed Cyanmod and even still it was on and off so I just told my sis to get a different phone to use with Simple M.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fonkyonder:
Man I love my mytouch 4g running on simple mobile!

.

I have some answers and some questions:

Simple Mobile throttles down your speed if they think you are using the hot spot. So if your like over 2gbs in a week or two they reduce your speed. Reason why is because in their terms of agreement you are not allow to use your hot spot or tethering of any kind.

I have a question, do you guys get the symbol 3G on your mytouch 4G? I never get that symbol. Its either running on H or E/G. My phone never goes from H to 3G. Only to E/G... The set up I have is basic to the stock phone except I changed some things like the name and added a new apn. So what do I have to do to get 3G? I rather go down to 3G than straight to edge >.<

My messages work perfectly, I get and sent messages on the spot, its very fast. In the other hand pictures I receive only work 50% of the time. Sending pictures works flawlessly. Is there a fix for that?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeverAlwaysEver:
There is only 'H' symbol together with 'up' and 'down' arrow symbols (either filled in or not, I believed filled in arrows mean faster data speed) underneath for mt4g stock rom, whether you're in 4G or 3G areas. You can go to 'settings - About phone - Network' to check current specific mobile network type you're receiving. If it shows UMTS, its 3g; If its HSDPA, its 3.5G or enhanced 3G and HSPA+ = 4G (Although I haven't noticed HSPA+ and I haven't really checked,maybe it just shows HSDPA). I know CyanogenMod ROM shows 3G symbol.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fonkyonder:
I have gotten HSDPA and HSPA+. I don't think I've gotten 3G though :/

I know its a little off topic but what's CyanogenMod do?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeverAlwaysEver:
You have better than 3G because HSDPA is enhanced 3G and HSPA+ is 4G. It's just a matter of graphic and symbol display. CyanogenMod is one of many custom ROMs that you can flash/install on your mt4g. Go through mytouch 4G android development forum (http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=796) if you'd like to learn.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-jodio:
Will Simple Mobile still work and be able to run HSPA+ on the myTouch 4G, after at&t transition completes? Does Simple Mobile use T-Mobile's towers or do they have their own?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinsane:
Simple Mobile and the New Walmart plan both use T-Mobiles towers.

Who knows what will happen if the buyout goes through.

More than likely...it would shut down once the spectrum change happens.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olmrjustin:
hey there, just wanted to explain a little about simple mobile since i've been on sprint -> t mobile -> att -> verizon and now simple mobile (yeah, i'm a junky like you!).

i switched 3 months ago because i was tired of paying fees to cancel my plan because once a new shiny device that comes out i want ...i have to have it.

pros:

60$ unlimited data/voice/sms - never had a problem with overage for data but i don't tether too often.

no contract - best part, i don't have to re up if i don't want to

speed - been running cm7 on this device since build 1 and have had no problems with getting HSDPA or 3g to function in my area (Seattle)

bill paying - login to their website and choose re up pin and it's very simple, they even send me a text 2 days before my bill date to remind me

cons:

wi-fi calling - doesn't work with the stock app from tmobile. i do use google voice though and it works perfectly!

no visual voice mail - when iPhone came out i had to have it and then when android supported it i jumped over and used it religiously. now that i don't have it i actually don't really care using the old school method of calling my voice mail #. its not that big of a deal for me.

customer service - since I'm pretty savvy as you all are, i have never had to call to get help. i did however call on the first billing cycle to make sure my re up was in place and that took like 40 min to get to someone.

so if you can live without visual voice mail and not tethering for 10gb of data a month....it's a pretty sweet deal and i plan on riding it out as long as possible.

hope this helps!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper_1986_1986:
Yes, there is an option that you turn on.

If wifi is on, then it tries to enable auto as long as the switch is turned on.

You get a little blue icon on the top left of the phone when its on and working.

I like the old RIM way of having the cell bars turn to UMA but whatever, that is from back in 2003 :{
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper_1986_1986:
I hate people giving out wrong info.

The real answer is "2g 3g and 4g" are all BS terms. In truth the G stands for GENERATION. So you can put all sorts of classes and data speeds and terms into 3g and crap and make phones seem better when they are not....

But the "4g" term in the mytouch name means you have HSPA, which faster than "3g" or UMTS. Another more REAL way to say the speed of a mytouch or the HSPA is g3.5 or g3+ which is still all stupid fake unreal terms to tell the speed. It is just what it is, HSPA and HSPA+. Not 4g....

Your phone will only show 3g if it is on the UMTS, which depending on where you live, you will never see it.

Slowest to fastest speeds with the mytouch 4g...

GSM -G ( i don't believe this can do ANY data, just MMS and SMS and calls)

GSPR - G

EDGE - E

UMTS -3g

HSPA - H

HSPA+ - H

You CAN view if you are in HSPA or HSPA+ by going to settings > about phone > network, and on the mobile network type it should tell you (oh the phone shows HSPDA, erm ignore that, it is just HSPA....) I myself never have seen the + show up, but only have had the phone for 3 days and only have had a single twice now while at work, at home i have no bars and sit on wifi :)

Really, to get TRUE 4g speeds you need to get an LTE phone whenever they come out :D or wimax phone, IF that ever happens...

edit:

Just did some research and found 2 random blog posts with a map that didn't have my city (austin texas) listed as a HSPA+ city, really only NY has it, according to that map, but i am sure it will be being upgraded all over major cities within the next year

My wife was recently deployed so we cancelled the mytouch 4g on tmo and they waved the $200 cancel. fee.

I have been reading on xda that several people use simple mobile with tmo phones, and their webpage says this phone is SUPPORTED. I called a local dealer today and was told that I did not have to UNLOCK the phone because its running on tmo when its on simple mobile.

He said people are NOT throttled unless they are tethering or downloading torrents/movies.

Do any of you use simple mobile? Specifically, do you use a mytouch 4g on simple mobile and would you recommend it. My understanding its rebranded tmo service.

I loved the mytouch 4g, but couldnt stomach the $83 a month. My current phone is a optimus v (sprint aka virgin for $60 a month unlimited everything) but why would I want to use this phone (which I can return as Ive had it less than 10 days, I have 30 days to return) when I have a 10x better phone my mytouch 4g...
