[myTouch 4G General] kettlecorn:
yeah and its because of the pricing on amazon and tmobile, which is priced at 79.99 for a 2 year while the others are still at 129.99 and even at 199.99. This comes from tmobile and HTCs contract and their goals for selling the device. It sucks but the positive that i see is that it can either become a big community with development ?
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
I sold my 20 month old G1 for $110 on eBay when I got the Vibrant last July. Due to all the issues with the Vibrant, I sold it when the MT4G came out. At that time, the Vibrant wasn't even out for 4 months, but I was only able to get $300 for it. From what I understand, they are going for even less on Craigslist.

The moral of the story? If, in a year or so, you are able to get $150 for the MT4G, it's not exactly horrible. There are other phones in the same class that probably won't even fetch that much.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
I just sold 2 HTC Evo's I got on launch day in June for $300 a piece. If you keep the original box that seems to add resale value for some reason I don't really get. Also having extra accessories to throw in like cases/chargers can be the difference between them choosing your phone and another.
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
Agreed. I always keep all the boxes and printed literature that comes with my electronics. I also threw in two gel cases and an extra Realook screen protector.
[myTouch 4G General] vw671:
+1 on keeping all the box and everything it came with. It proves to the buyer that the item is not stolen and will fetch a MUCH higher price.

Here's my resale performance:

iPhone 3G 16GB (one year old) = $350

iPhone 3GS 32GB (1.5 years old) = $400

Samsung Captivate (2 months old) = $340
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
I got $360 for my Nexus One on eBay, which I let go after getting root on the MT4G. Having all original stuff including the box definitely helps.
[myTouch 4G General] ESKIMOn00b:

[myTouch 4G General] daryllh:
I won't buy a used phone unless the person is selling the orig box and lit. The bar code can be gone but somebody selling the box along with the phone tells me that they will have taken better care of their phone. Maybe not true but I've purchased several phones off ebay and never have had a bad experience with the condition of the phone.
[myTouch 4G General] greenstuffs:
Having a box and oem stuff at least tells you the guy did not picked it up from some unlucky soul at a starbucks or local library.

TV Out

I tried to find out if our myTouch 4G could do TV out and have gotten nowhere. I'm tempted to try out the link and order the device as I don't have a DLNA television yet. :confused:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethutch:
I read on a different thread that it doesn't have the hardware to do video out. I believe this because there's no setting for it like on the Raphel.

DLNA (UPNP) is clearly "the future". But much like bluetooth it will probably be several years before it is commonplace. I bet you get 3 new phones before you get a new TV.

FWIW, I did try the DLNA to a PS3 and it does work very well.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaww:
I just hooked it up with the USB cable to a BlueRay player that has a USB input. With some fiddling around, it brought up the pictures but not the video. That might be due to the format of the video. I will try converting one to another format and see if it works for video also.

The BlueRay player is 2009 vintage, so newer ones might handle the 3gp format.

I love the functionality of sense but I don't want to have to downgrade to eclair to get it.

So if anybody knows about work being done on that or if someone wants to volunteer, please inform me and anyone else who passes by this thread
[myTouch 3G Slide General] acejoker25000:
Its gonna have the same problems as the 3rd sense rom because we don't have the official 2.2 kernel for mytouch slide! Which means I don't think anyone is going to port it! Check out 3rd sense though its stable enough and is the same sense ui

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumega:
Hi there.

New to the forum and rooting. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and also have rooted using z4 root. I tried installing the kernel SuperFast v1.1.23 and now have a big problem. I used Rom Manager to "install ROM using SD" and selected the kernel zip file that I saved onto the external SD card. It appeared to install properly and then started to boot...however it's just stuck there looping between the words "I896" and "SAMSUNG". I got to the Android system recovery <2e> manual screen and "reboot system now" just takes me back to the rotating text.

when i tried "apply sdcard:update.zip", i get a "E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted." but this option will no longer work anyways because my batter is low.

NEED HELP!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you need ODIN and to get your phone in download mode....

i dont even know what SuperFast v...... is.

its not a kernel provided here on the captivate forums...so, dont know what to tell you. load up ODIN, put your phone in download mode and flash back the proper kernel

more importantly, how do i fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
check and see if you APN is set or is correct. My guess is after you flashed your device, your APN got wiped. If so, just manually configure it and you are good to go.

I bet it could be done if you used Bezerkers MOD that changes the phone to the left and the apps button to the right stock rosie, and then try using one of skyraiders ROMs handcent to the right.

you can also take the Rosie.apk from myns ROM, I know it isn't stock rosie but it is a nice alternative and you can also install his app called rosie settings which allows you to change the right and left push buttons to any app you want in a click, but this as well has the apps in the middle button (IMHO the best thing ever)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vipermuscle83:
Well, My first generation EVO ran fairly well for about 4 months and then all Hell broke loose. Random reboots ranging from 2-10 times a day. I was unable to solve this issue no matter what methods I tried. I read about this issue that had impacted a wide array of EVO owners and it came down to 2 different categories of problem, hardware and software divisions.

First off, this issue has been effecting EVOs with AND without root. Meaning there is no clear justifiable reasoning that rooting your EVO may cause these things to occur. Heck, my friend bought a BRAND NEW 2nd generation Evo just last month and 2 days after he had bought it, he was showing it to me at the exact moment it started to freeze and reboot. It ended up doing it 5 times within the 3 hours we were at the mall together. It was enough aggravation for him to decide to swap it out at Sprint and sure enough, it rebooted right in front of the Sprint rep and he gladly gave my buddy a new one.

There were a bunch of people that just disabled data and started experiencing the problem thereafter, but they were able to resolve the situation simply by enabling data once more. Even though that, in its self, is an unusual and inexcusable flaw, it's no big deal compared to the other side of this problem.

The hardware issue seems to stem from overheating and the pattern is that the reboots occur either during phone calls, using juice extracting applications, or multitasking with many apps open. Upon further digging for clues, I found out what MAY be causing this problem just from a common sense standpoint and why it effects even the Droid X:

Because both the EVO and Droid X have large 4.3" Displays that are LCDs and not LED (AMOLED or RETINA) and are crammed into a very thin body, they generate a lot of heat that resonates to the motherboard. AMOLED and RETINA displays take up less power and create less heat than standard LCD displays. In addition, Samsung's cheap plastic may actually be a benefit to HTC's more expensive aluminum unibody because the metal body is just a magnet for that heat and retains most of it within the guts of the phone. Same can be said about the Droid X even though it uses less metal than the HTC.

I'm very convinced that this is the source of the problem, although I cannot verify it. I never had this problem with my Nexus One and I was way more of a hardcore user on that phone than my EVO. Heck, I was scared to be on the EVO for long periods of time just because of how paranoid this reboot issue had made me. I'm very disappointed in HTC and hope they rebound soon because I've always been a fan. Since my first EVO, I've switched to the Epic 4G and while I definitely don't think Samsung's build quality touches that of HTC, I will say that the reliability issues associated with the EVO are enough to keep me away from it. I really hope that this AMOLED shortage is resolved by next summer. I will never buy another Large LCD display phone again!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apex i ITR:
I never used my Evo not being rooted and I had some issues (with the various guides out). I finally got it rooted but since day one the phone locks up randomly and reboots. It might be heat related....seems to happen when its warm.........
