[REQUEST] T-Mobile (Samsung) Sidekick 4G needs forums soon - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

Yes, please bring this forum so that when we get the new Sidekick with Android then we can root it and do custom ROM's finally.

+1, the G2X was added today, why not the Sidekick 4G?

+1024 .................

Saw this device yesterday at T-Mobile and it was sweet! Very elegant design (or redesign) of the original.

I totally agree! I have just bought it yesterday and I am so happy to have a keyboard back again I would really like to root it already but it looks like no one has one yet.
Tried Z4Root and so far all it does is sit trying to "exploit the..." something something something.
Looking forward to the future of the SideKick 4G!

we need a sidekick 4g forum!

Yes please add a sidekick 4g forum!! Just bought it for my GF today, and it is a very nice phone. Very impressed with the build and OS design that samsung put into the device.

Who´s going for it?

I am going for it soon as available!
This will be sweet with cm7!

I talked att into giving me an early upgrade on this after complaining about the captivate. He told me to sell what I had and use that to cover the new phone. Done and done.
The local store will have one waiting for me on the 15th
I'm planning on it as a late birthday present to myself. Current Aria user but very excited about the Inspire!
I was planning on waiting for the Atrix but after the pricing and the lock bootloader looks like I am going for the Inspire. Hoping it you guys can get root and custom roms. Can't wait to get rid of my iPhone 4 and get my first android device
I have been waiting on a good phone for a long time from at&t. First the backflop then the xperia x10, now finally a real phone! I am calling and checking if I can get an early upgrade. I was going with the Atrix, but the cost of the laptop dock is way off. Motoblur and the locked bootloader turned me off also. I have have a locked bootloader with my xperia and it is basically killing the phones potential.
Sent from my xperia
I was probably going to get the Atrix, but the terrible netbook dock pricing has slammed the brakes on my upgrade plans. At this point, I'll be waiting to see how XDA support works out on the various new AT&T phones, try out the phones in store, and probably not upgrade until the summer at the earliest. I'll probably wind up with the Inspire, but they've really buzzkilled everything for me.
I'll be getting one ASAP...

Same here, Htc forever. But I just heard that Tmobile is gonna have a new Htc phone with dual core processor and a 4.3 screen, Att needs to step up!
I was really wanting to get this, but now I am not sure if I should wait to see what HTC and AT&T have to offer later this year, maybe dual core with LTE
Pre ordered!

oh so me!!
As a long time user of the HTC tilt and tilt 2 I fell in love with the ease of using the winmo and manilla interfaces. Recently got a cruel joke of an upgrade in the form of the HTC surround which could be a great phone id not for the hold backs caused by winmo 7 OS. I greatly look forward to trying out the Android OS on a phone it's made for originally not just ported onto.
I just pre-ordered one. :-D

Ok trade evo for shift or epic

Ok my chick wants my evo and I have a chance to go back to the epic or try the shift I need help on to decide if I want to keep evo or go for the other two 4g phones plz help me thank u bc den wise on evo is great and I know what Im doing from easy one click root and recovery too everything else vs adb Idk how and steps wise with shift and some what epic plz tell me good opinions thanks people
Sent from my PC36100-EVO-using Tapatalk
Eh, with the shift you would have the newer Snapdragon plus a keyboard, but you lose the bigger screen. The Epic, there's dev work being done on it so it has froyo through custom roms right now, but not official until the 22nd of this month I believe.
The epic is getting froyo on feb 21. I say get the epic if you like a bigger screen. The shift felt like a hero with a keyboard. I've messed with the shift. Doesn't feel any faster than the epic. 4.0 screen is the sweet spot for me.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Ah see that's nice official froyo so hmm it just sucks if I go to epic bc I just got a defender otterbox for my evo so my chicks gonna have that and then I got the white back piece to it she will have that too. She's taking all my goodies along with Ima miss sense and I doubt there's roms out for epic that has sense. Plus they don't make defender otterboxs for epic and I don't know why. I just wanna try somthin different and I'm pushing now more towards epic but I still need options.
Sent from my PC36100-EVO-using Tapatalk
I would go.with the Epic 4G. The slightly larger screen that is also better is a plus for me.
I have the Captivate which is the same phone as the Epic sans.a keyboard and I love it; albeit if I could have a keyboard I dont think I would go for it.
I need so options people but im starting to push towards the epic but i have about a week and a half to decide so let me know plz thanks
I just bought the evoshift via ebay and I plan to sell my evo.
I don't ever want to deal with samsung... I like HTC build quality and the shift will get dev attention soon enough. oc to 1.8 stable 1.5 not bad
What from a I can hear, you guys seems to be in favor of HTC phones. Im looking into upgrading phones and I was curious as to whether or not the Evo is better than the Evo shift. Those are definitely the two leading phones in my opinion but I wanted to know if you guys had any thoughts from being direct users.

See the only thing stopping me from shift is the screen size and no front facing camera and lower mp on camera vs 8mp so that's about the only thing really why I'm pushing more towards Samsung bc its stays in specs with the evo pretty damn close

evo is better
go read up in the epic section, the majority of people hate it.
Go check out the shift section and you will see the opposite.
Just got my wife the shift and I have to say that it I'd a fantastic phone, and the camera is good.
Plus samsung support is god awful.
Scent phrum mie fone!
Epic
i would go with the epic, the keyboard is amazing
I'm so confused Idk what to do

Epic hands down! It's super easy to root, about the same size of the evo, you don't compromise screen, and they got some great roms

Tmobile samsung or G2

Hey guys I know this is off topic but im a new tmobile customer and I now have the samsung 4g. My question is I only had this phone for 2 weeks. There is a special to get T~Mobile G2 google phone free. Would anyone here help me decide either keep the Samsung or get the G2 google phone from T~Mobile.
Thanks in advance

Brother its all in what u want. I would recommended checking the specs for both at http://www.phonearena.com/phones and also this sgs4g is pretty amazing with the tweaks and mods I have already it is buttery smooth and the screen is brilliant. But like I said check the specs and figure which one fits you better.

Well the G2 has more roms but the SGS4G is more powerful and will probably start getting roms soon so i would recomend keeping it if you have a some patience
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
If you want a mans phone get the samsung. It seems built more for adults. The G2 reminds me of a teens phone. Just my opinion of course. GREAT roms for the phone already though. But we will be getting some good stuff here soon.
Thanks guys im keeping my Samsung the G2 is a nice phone. But I love my samsung front facing camera I do like video chatting with my girl. Plus getting a little show every now and then since both are going to different colleges. I do like the ginger bread rom on my samsung.

I love my phone and all but in all honesty, return the phone and get the htc sensation or lg g2x. Much much better phones at the same price that are also a little more future proof than this phone.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Same price? I got my SGS4G on flex pay for 50$.
EDIT: Once CM7 comes to our phones it will be future proof. Hell the G1 has 2.2.1 on it thanks to CM.

Hell I have gingerbread running smooth on my old g1that I still play with thanks to COS-DS. Runs good on the g1 actually...check the g1 dev forum if you still have one of those phones.
And yeah the g2 is a nice phone for its form factor. If you like a physical keyboard it has a really nice one. But the with g2x be careful. There are reports of alot of hardware problems, screen problems and other issues. Read up on the g2x before jumping in to that one.

2.3 on the G1? Wow. Didn't think people used it actually still. My friend has 2.3.4 for his Cliq.

Moto Bravo to Inpsire

Anyone, Would the Inspire be a good replacment for the Bravo, Bravo working fine now, but would like a bigger screen and a little quicker? Or is there a current ATT phone that would be better. Sorry for being so general.

I'm familiar with the Bravo because my daughter has one. The Bravo doesn't even come close to the Inspire in comparison.

Thanks everyone, I will be looking for an Inpsire tonight.
The Inspire is great yes, but its pretty old now. The SGS II or Nexus Prime would be better options looking forward. Even the M1 by Xiaomi is far better.

What does your Inspire NOT do that you want? I personally will be holding on to this phone for a while. this phone is a beast. rooted, running CM7.
Do not underestimate the Inspire 4G. There is constant Roms being updated and created for it. Fortunately for us we share the same hardware with the Desire HD so we can easily use both sections. This is something that many overlook. Do the research and see for yourself. I've owned my device since the stores first released it and have never looked back.
Bare in mind it is a single core android. But after rooting and installing a custom Rom it rivals my brothers dual core Atrix 4G.

Update
Inspire arrived saturday, went to ATT store sunday to keep unlimited plan. This this is great, had gingerbread installed, alot smoother, faster, and huge screen is a plus. I think I'm good for a couple of years now. Much better than the Bravo (Son is getting the Bravo to replace Iphone 3GS) one plus about bravo and inspire-uses the same plug to charge.
Will definately need to read up on rooting it and putting clear droid on it.

It's been great.

I just thought I'd post up how great it has been to own this phone.
I officially moved on when I picked up a Galaxy S3 last Thursday, but this phone had been one of the best I've owned until the S3. The community has been great as well.
I still have the Glacier, but I went ahead and wiped it completely and installed Dark Unicorn on it [since it seems to be the most stable based on what I've read] and had my 13-yo son inherit it (he's coming from a myTouch 3G).
I'll still be around [the TMo S3 forums, mostly], but I just wanted to post this as a thanks to the Glacier/myTouch 4G community/devs that has supported this workhorse for so long.
Goodluck over there bro. Those sammy fanboys can be a bit wacky haha
Imagine what development will be like over there...
