Top three things?

1) AOSP ROM

2) FAST FAST FAST FAST

3) Not having Steve Jobs tell me how to use my phone.
[myTouch 4G General] jentzschman2000:
LOL. Agreed!
[myTouch 4G General] VolcanicSkunk:
What I meant by de-Sensing Iced Glacier is that I removed ALL traces of HTC Sense from the ROM. That means all widgets, apps, and Rosie.apk. This gets rid of the launcher, and all the things that make HTC Sense. I pushed LauncherPro to /system/app, and also removed the stock music player and replaced with AOSP music player. Also, after doing all that, I no longer need to run the phone at 1GHz. To save immense amounts of battery, my phone is constantly clocked to 806 MHz on-demand. This saves serious battery life! The only time I need to increase the clock speed is when I want to use bluetooth streaming as well as WiFi calling. Then I only increase it to stock speeds. That is why I de-sense. That, and I like LaucherPro way more than Rosie.
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
I gotta say guys, android is probably the best thing that happened to smartphones. I mean, I am amased every time I read something new about who did what to it. And 50% of all that u can do it out of the box. I want the 50% that matters most, but the damn thing doesn't wanna stick....WHYYYYYYYYY?

I don't know how battery use is all over the board. I get the best battery life from this phone out of any phone I've ever had. I get like 2 days use out of it with regular use (videos, games, calls, txting). All I have for setcpu is my screen off set to 300ish/200ish min/max (yes i'm too lazy to look).

Also surf don't fall for the marketing machine. If you don't want a vibrant you don't want a vibrant 4g.

Genius button

Hate the genius button. Voice recognition software not as good as Google's and it takes too long to come on anyway. Wish there were an easy and free way to remap it.
[myTouch 4G General] jentzschman2000:
I thought I saw a thread on just that. Maybe someone can link it. I wold like to try it out as well.

If it is possible to remap genius to google search, can you go back if you wanted?

Ok so I have to say I Def. Love this phone and won't be moving on till they come out with something in the way of big improvements.

#1. Fast fast fast. Sure I get your occasional fc but nothing like any other phone I've used.

#2 customizable I have been having a blast with this.

#3 does what I want when I want. I hit a button and I got maps going quick easy and efficient.

#4 I can run Google navigation listen to my auido books in the car and switch to audio texting with no hickups.

I do agree about logo seriously it makes this powerhouse look cheesy!

#2: this phone is super fast

#3: fully customizable, and all-in-one phone
[myTouch 4G General] 18.4009:
I came from the vibrant. I wanted to switch for some time but never stepped up due to I loved the vibrant screen. Finally when I saw cyanogens cm 7 running on the mt4g I couldn't put it off anymore.

As soon as I held this phone I knew I made the right choice! There is nothing I don't like about this phone. I even love the screen.
[myTouch 4G General] JOMOID:
- Speed !

- Huge Display

- HSPA+ Speed

However my phone has gotten REALLY slow lately. I think it is because of the mulitple widgets I have...
[myTouch 4G General] Just_K:
LOVE THis Phone:

-FFC

-4G

-Poops on iPhones
[myTouch 4G General] linknight:
This is my first Android phone as well as the first phone with a data plan, so just being able to send an email from my phone is still an amazing thing to me, even though I got my MT4G on launch. I was happy with the phone at stock, but after putting CM on it, the phone multiplied in awesomeness.
[myTouch 4G General] LuLuBaby86:
Go to unlockr.com and try their method. I did it and was rooted within 10 minutes with permanent s-off. It was so easy.
[myTouch 4G General] DaArtist401:
Reasons i love it

1. MIUI

2. Very stable and functional.

3. Design and FFC

Reasons to hate it

1. Screen(if u got a bad one)

2. Camera

3. Genius button(only applies to stock rom)
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
it happens to me to. maybe cuz most of my screens are widgets, on each of the 7 home replacement aps i use. but not all the time. i use quick system info pro a lot to, so maybe that helps.

You do know that you can change the function of the genius button to google search in the stock rom right? Of course root is required, but it's really easy with root explorer! Just check out this thread.
[myTouch 4G General] Jeffmeister:
Why I Love My Phone!:

1. CyanogenMod!

2. Great Design & Size

3. FFC for video chat with girlfriend =D

Hate:

Nothing... there is absolutely nothing that is bothering me about this phone. I even had a bad screen and it really wasn't that big of a deal. Though I got a good screen now. :)
[myTouch 4G General] DaArtist401:
Yes i know. I'm just saying as a stock device. I was trying to look for 3 pos' and 3 cons lol. So for that last one, if it weren't for me being on XDA a lot, i would be fairly annoyed with the genius button.
[myTouch 4G General] gamer4595:
Hate

I dont know how you like this phone. I have returned 3 due to dust or something under the screen (and it is never in a dusty environment) and the stupid tmobile reps say it is because i carry my phone in my pocket and not to do that. WTF? also it lags when more that a few apps run in the background, and the front camera sucks and lags in regular camera mode. (on all devices i have had all of these problems)
[myTouch 4G General] DaArtist401:
The dust part sounds like a lie or an exaggeration. If it's not, then maybe u should fully inspect the phone before leaving the store. I, as well as many others carry their mytouch in pocket. No dust problems. Just fully inspect the phone before leaving the store.

And again, sounds like ur lying, or exaggerating in the second part. These phones don't have 768mb ram for no reason(majority of current androids carry 512mb ram). It's one of the faster android phones. The only time my phone ever lags is when i underclock for battery saving purposes.

I agree with the camera part. HTC cameras tend to lag if there isn't a sufficient light source(like the Sun). And none of the current front facing cameras on phones are particularly good(iphone 4, evo, nexus s, or mt4g). They aren't meant for photo taking. Just video conferencing, but considering the megapixels and their duty, they work fine for what they do. I've had decent video chats acrross several phones. Don't expect top quality photos/video on a smart phone. They aren't meant to be digital camera replacements. IMHO, the only phones with good cameras are Samsung Galaxy S phones, Nexus S, and the iPhone 4. But ffc will suck regardless. Droid X isn't bad either.
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
its just bad luck for u. most of us are farely satisfied with this device, and some have experienced your frustrations as well, but its all good now. even with the washed out screen i was ok with it, but wanted to have the screen that i paid for, like other did. is all!

and, thank you all for your opinions.

[myTouch 4G General] mrbuddhasr:
i love this phone, bought it the day it came out.

1. its ANDROID

2. CM7 FTW

3 looks real sleek. FREAKIN SEXY!!!!!!! lol
[myTouch 4G General] dominicanman912:
i love my phone except for ONE thing! while listening to music, the notification tones cut out the music while playing and then when the notification tone is over, the music gets louder again! its like a mix up of media priority or something. other than that, there i nothing wrong with this phone.
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
There is not a single bad thing to say... I absolutely love everything about this phone. Coming from MT3G the amount of memory out of the box is amazing, no need for a2ext, plenty of RAM :) I really like sense and having the desire Z (thanks evil) port is great!
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
agreed! i use to rock an mt3g too.
[myTouch 4G General] ESKIMOn00b:
this is a setting in CM7 BTW...

so you can hear your txt's while your jammin out... turn it off if you dont like it.
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
scratch that. I have PERMROOT now. it is SWWEEET!
[myTouch 4G General] Q.Entity:
Like:

1) WiFi calling and messaging. That is why I got it. We have zero cell signal in our lab because it is too deep in the building. WiFi did away with the hassle of forwarding calls...

2) Speed

3) CM

Don't like:

1) Skype does not suport video like my N900 has had for over a year.
[myTouch 4G General] cal3thousand:
I hate this too... but I LOVE THIS PHONE because I can control that (because of Android, really).

I have a Tasker context setup that detects when I'm playing music in headphones and turns notification sounds off and makes them all vibrate. When I remove the headphones, it changes back.

I want to add to the thread and say that this phone has made my life so much easier. It performs as I need it to, and it has tremendous potential. It may in fact hold me over for the full 2 years.

I wish android and smartphones were around during high school or even college, I would have done so much better, LOL
[myTouch 4G General] mrcool47:
I absolutely love this device as well! It's hard to narrow it down to top 3 but here it goes...

1) wifi tethering

2) htc sense

3) 4g capability
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
ha, it's like you read my mind!
[myTouch 4G General] bstes1:
The main thing I like about this phone is it just works. Coming from the Vibrant there was always something wrong with that thing. Everything I've tried and done with this phone works.

Second would be the speed. Not just the 4G but the overall speed of the device. Especially the browser.

Third, and I never thought I would say it, but I like the Sense UI. I had to remove the silly squares around the icons but all of the added features, gadgets, and sense enhanced apps are really nice.
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
I was never a big fan of the stock sense ui , and less about the literation tmo made called mysense,or whatever, but after loading gorilla sense dhd, I freakin love it, cuz I got the gingerbread stock feel, from launcher to wallpapers to heyboard, I can even change the notification icons, as you all now. I guess my point is, I managed to get the best of sense and stock android, and I am more than happy with it. now I can proudly say that this IS my phone, just the way I want it.

and if I ever get bored, I can always chose one of the other 7 home screen replacements I have, each customized in its on way.

so,ya.

p.s. never in my life I thought a phone could satisfy my needs like this.
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
youre not the only one!!!! lol
[myTouch 4G General] ELBdelorean:

bloatware
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
This is my first android phone.

I like how varied the range of opinions are regarding customization and usage. It's a nod to the OS and the power of the phone that so many people use it in so many different ways.

I like Sense. Once the phone is rooted and the bloatware is removed, it runs great. I have no problems with battery life, I learned what consumed the battery and it was simply a matter of managing those items. I'll probably try another ROM at some point, but the fact that I like Sense as it is can only be viewed as a positive considering how much people seem to like customs. It can only get better, that's encouraging.

I love that I can watch videos without converting them, was always a complete turn-off in other hand held devices and has completely changed how I entertain myself.

I love XDA. Everything I need and want to know is found in these forums, without them I would only have varied google searches and random articles to guide my in this experience. A consolidated knowledge base with developers at the center is just the kind of forum needed for such an open ended OS community.

Thank you to everyone here.

[myTouch 4G General] Akulamenuri:
Top 3 reasons why I like:

1. Camera pictures and interface look amazing on Stock/Glacier ROMs, so much better than the AOSP camera

2. Beefy Specs (2nd Gen Snapdragon, 768mb Ram, HSPA+, 5mp camera with flash, FFC)

3. XDA Support :-D

[myTouch 4G General] Jacezo:
I love everything except for three things: the fact that my buttons creek when its cold, that my back casing creeks around the jacks and the battery case is a little bit loose.

Hey, any bugs in Iced Glacier? Do you know how it compares to Cyanogen Mod 7 nightlies??? i'm going to give it a try based on your feedback.
[myTouch 4G General] Elloco305:
Hey im just wondering if anyone else has A real sensitive power button I mean I have to be careful how I holds it when playing games or taking pictures. I have the White one. Every other button feels right but the power button.

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
i would skip ice glacier and go with gorilla full. it is stock sense, and it is GREAT. give it a try!

it is what i use now and i am super satisfied with it. htc support plus custumization, and i can always use a gingerbread launcher for the stok gingerbread feel, and have the plus features of sense without the bulkynes of mysense, and more with the new sense update that newer htc sense models are shipping out.

and more importantly, EVERYTHING works, for my needs at least!
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
yes, i have the same problem with that to. it's a hardweare thing. it is how it is. i can deal with it. just have to be a little more aweare of it. is all, imo.
[myTouch 4G General] mth785:
This has been a great phone so far. I love running CM7 with stock android and great battery life. I do miss the HTC camera app.

[myTouch 4G General] Elloco305:
You wish your power button was sensitive?

And I'm taking it to t-mobile tomorrow and get it exchanged at least test another white model. So I will update tomorrow.

BTW I just pushed the button all the way in hard and held it for a minute and it doesn't seem to be AS sensitive. Maybe It's just my imagination. :P
[myTouch 4G General] pinoyz:
1. Got this phone for free because of the Tmo Valentine's offer.

2. It's fast for me as this is my first Android phone.

3. Has tethering!

and the only thing I hate is the battery life on this.
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
get permaroot, and u can set battery profiles. that, or a custom rom, that nowadays come with default battery savings. all this thanks to the guys that take the time to develop for us at no charge.
[myTouch 4G General] $pitacular1:
He's not lying. I've had two MT4G's, both got dust under the screen. The problem lies in the fact that the "metal" bezel is not completely flush with the rubbery side material and thus the unit is not sealed. This allows dust and other particles to get in the phone and under the display.

I am waiting on my replacement as we speak. Backorder status due to the recent promotion

I have CM7 #42 but i couldn't find the battery profile you're talking about :confused:
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
download smartass kernell, follow the proper steps to flas it. download ser set cpu, set your main profile,and let smartass do its thing. after that you will get better battery life.

at least i do, with ultra heavy use.
[myTouch 4G General] isme84:
That's what i had on my phone. I was just confused because you said it came with the rom that's all ;)
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
its a misunserstanding in the middle.

about cm7 features,i was talkin about,one of the including the tweeked battery feature. it is not an option in settings,from what i understand. its default,then i told you to get smartass kernell,set the desired oc or uc u want, and nothing else in profiles,see how that goes,cuz they say smartass kernell takes care of everything by itself,without aditional set cpu profiles. if u still dont get the desired battery life improvement,go ahead and set up your profiles in set cpu,see how that goes.

if still no good,on the accesories part of mt4g forum theres several links directing to 1600 mah alternative batteries.

i really hope this helps u out dude. theres tones of threads on xda about optimum set cpu,and not only,profile tweaking for better performance and improved battery life. if it worked for me,a total noob, it has to work for others to.

...

^_^

p.s. if u have a task killer,or any kind of app like that,it has been proved that they actually do worse than good to your android os,eating up a lot of that precious battery life,and to be honest,i realized by own experience,and anyway,this beast of a phone wouldnt even need this to begin with, even with sense, or worse,mysense.

imagine how a CM stock would go...im experienceing as I write... SWEET!!!
[myTouch 4G General] dani26286:
awesome,right? i know how it feels to finally get the phone you paid for, at it's best,as advertised. its becoming a rare concept nowadays.
