I have a vibrant and love it was going to get my wife one but she said something about a my touch 4g could someone that has used both please give me their options thanks
Nero v3 voodoo
your posting this on a VIBRANT section, and your asking the people that own a VIBRANT which is better? their own phones, or another one?
...
I think you get me.
This subject has been bitten to death here previously.
Vibrant comes stock with Eclair
MT4G comes stock with Froyo
Vibrant sports 4" SAMOLED screen
MT4G sports 3.5" LCD screen
MT4G HSPA+ (T-Mo 4G) compatible device
Vibrant HSPA (3G up to 7.2 Mbs) compatible device
There are differences in CPU - MT4G 1GHz Qualcomm Second Gen Snapdragon (better JIT optimization on Froyo), Vibrant outfitted with Samsung's 1GHz Hummingbird CPU. The GPU in Vibrant is superior to MT4G's though.
Front-facing camera and LED flash are standard on MT4G, Vibrant has no flash, and FFC requires a hardware modification if such feature is desired.
So, I hope your wife makes her choice based on what is more important for her needs.
I have a Vibrant and a MT4G and at this time I do prefer the Vibrant. The MT4G is the second one they have sent me as this phone has major screen issues. It looks as if about 40%-50% of the units have washed out screens. I had one and they are absolutely terrible. The one I received yesterday has a good screen. The good screens appear to come mostly(but not all) from China with Sony as the Mfg. A good portion of the screens that are washed out or have dust seem to be predominantly from Taiwan(that is where my first one came from) The MT4G is a good all around phone but if you are looking to root it and flash roms to me it is somewhat of a shaky process. Few roms are available for it at the present time. Am I going to keep this last one that Tm sent me? Not sure. I do prefer the Vibrant as my daily driver and also my phone to play with. If your wife just wants a nice solid all around phone than if you can get one with the good screen than it would be a nice way to go. If she is going to want a great screen and lots of choices to root it and apply roms than I would recommend the Vibrant I had the Nexus S and took it back after a couple of days as I preferred the Vibrant to it as well. Good luck with whichever one you get.

absolutely right on the dot. its just all about user preference....but i do like the heavy feeling of the MT4g compared to the vibrant. The MT4g feels slippery and small in my hands tho.
You can also get upgrade pricing on the Nexus S at best buy.
However, I personally don't shop at best buy, worst retail chain in my opinion.
At this point, I wouldn't purchase either phone, wait a couple months, new phones with dual core should be out.

I will give you my opinions since I have owned both devices.
Vibrant
Pros:
*Bigger, better screen
*A lot easier to root
*Almost can't be bricked
*Better camera
Cons:
*I can't think of any right now..
myTouch 4G
Pros:
*Physical keys (IMO)
*Trackpad
*FFC (But you can mod the vibrant to have this, but not to many people have a phone with one)
*Flash camera
Cons:
*Camera looks like a 3mp camera
*Screen isn't near as good
If you want to know something more.. Just ask me
I paid $200 for the vibrant, and $480 for the myTouch 4g
That could of changed my opinion also I guess... But I returned the MT4G
would wait as well, currently using a vibrant which was cheap $160, unlocked it for local carrier. Tempted to drop internet services at home and us tmobile mytouch 4g as a hotspot for 4g services. Vibrant is nice, solid android phone, but something new is coming out shortly so just wait

You are just a kid in a man's body aren't ya. even with 1000+ posts your picking on other people for asking questions, i never said i'm a professional and i know how to do everything.
Theres a reason theres a question for Question and Answer section, i do both, when i need help, i search and if i can't find my situation then i post a thread.
have you checked how many threads that i've answered questions on?
Your just a moron.
Just so i stay on topic,
The vibrant has everything that a my touch has except a few things, and they aren't too big of a deal, mostly the front camera, but you can mod your vibrant and add that too.
I suggest vibrant, but like i said, ive never owned a mytouch, i've seen it and don't like how it looks, but i say vibrant because i dont have mytouch
Well, I switched from my Vibrant to a MT4G just a couple of days ago and am very happy.
If she is someone who could care less about gpu performance and custom ROMS, then the MT4g is a better choice.
Personally, I'll certainly miss the better screen, but I won't miss much else. Everyone in this forum section knows the various issues with the Vibrant and the MT4G isn't without it's own. So it comes down to personal preference.
Stock vs Stock performance for everyday use, IMO, is no contest with the MT4G winning this battle. And of course, for me, the even more important thing is GPS performance. Not contest there either (this is MY experience ONLY, and MY OPINION).
Wwetcvggggggg
I ask this because I am a vibrant owner and have never touched a mt4g and want an answer form people who have used both phones because I think the vibrant it a great phone and nothing beats it. thanks for the advise it helped.

how am i a ****? i never said anything "****" to you. i just agreed with one person who said something actually comparing the 2 and i added onto it.
the **** would be the rider kid basically saying,"youre asking which phone is better in a vibrant forum..." which is definitely not constructive AT ALL. i might as well go into the g1 forum and say the iphone is better.

PLUS! you didnt even know what formatting your SD CARD would do...AND YOURE CALLING ME A MORON? that must make you a cretin. GOffMD .. youre the one coming into this thread acting like a bigot.
yes there is a Q&A section, but theres always a SEARCH button as well...utilize it.
and as far as the MT4g and Vibrant goes...its all about your situation and user preference. im happy to keep my vibrant esp when im due for an upgrade in May,but MT4g is capable of data speeds up to 14.2mbps with a stock front facing camera( vibrant FFC mod does not work for every FFC application). Plus the MT4g has LED flash which is an important feature to some people.
oh and BTW, tmobile is said to debut new details abt their 42mbps HSPA+ plans at this years CES
Sorry brian
Can get a,mytouch 4g in trade for vibrant and $40
OK I have searched the forums here to no end, watched the videos about the procedures to do so, and the links to buy one, But I still don't see any indication that this mod is for a dual camera setup! Meaning I see in the vid's of people pulling out the old one [camera] and replacing it with the other one for FFC capabilities! Period!
So is there no way to acquire and install a dual camera setup on the T959 Galaxy Vibrant? Asking because the need to take pictures from the back is just as important as to snap photos from the Forward position, and to just have ONLY a FFC camera will seriously hamper the ability to snap pics when in say a crash or freight claim etc! The Nexus S phone has this setup, so can the dual hardware be installed on the Galaxy from that phone and then the proper driver/ROM to support it? Or are they two completely different hardware interfaces? [Connection wise I'm asking] Or should I just ask if I completely overlooked this scenario and the MOD, And it is for dual cameras?
The mod appears to me for just changing the position from back to front, period! NO DUAL capabilities! If I missed finding the thread for this question, many apologies to the forum!
You must be confused, the FFC mod definitely still retains the back camera. Only issue you get with the back camera is banding in low light situations.
You must be on drugs, blind, or 12. Either way if you watch the video the guy uses both cameras. Also if you look at the camera its both cameras in one piece.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
The new FFC camera contains both cameras. One faces still out the back, and other out the front. The front one is very small compared to the rear.
It's an all in one unit. I have one that I still need to actually put into my phone. I can take pics and show you....
ALSO... geez guys, you can be so very hard on people. He was mistaken or just didn't really look or read. This flaming is one thing that makes it hard for people to get the guts to even post if they are new here. Take it easy on the guy. He's new....
Appreciate The 2 Worthy Replys
Reply and Quote from Subzerold: "You must be on drugs, blind, or 12."
You know I might be going blind as my eyesight after 57 years is getting kinda bad, However to say such an arrogant, rude ass remark, is just plain immature, and truly shows what a POS asshole you really are, and to think your in a grown body with the maturity of a 12 YO is pathetic on your part! And I suppose you gave 22 years of service to your country in Corp like I did? I seriously doubt it!
So look who's calling the kettle black here! Dickweed! Oh and BTW if you don't have anything positive or helpful to say, then why did you reply at all? MIHO!
Anyway many thanks to eminembdg and thegreatcity for their helpful insight to answering and clarifying my questions, I now have the data I need to proceed with this MOD and knowing I'm not assuming anything that would've led to failure and disappointment! Oh and BTW eminembdg is right, its people like I just pointed out, that makes us newbies afraid to ask a question especially after I did do my due diligence, and I never saw them mention once or saw where they had left the back camera in, and they didn't mention that it was a dual camera setup replacement, and if they did, then I simply made a mistake and didn't pick up on it! OMG what a sin on my part subzerold! U must be perfect at 12 yo and know everything! must be lonely being perfect!
Anyway Moderators please consider this thread resolved and closed as I got my info from the two contributors who have respect for us inexperienced modders who try hard to elevate their knowledge here from people who do know and are pleasant to deal with!
glad you got your answer, and that I could of been of assistance. You could press the thanks button on my post?
Good luck on your mod, I'll be doing mine probably on Tuesday when I'm off from work. Should turn out fine as it is a pretty easy mod as I've seen and read.
Hope this bad experiance with posting doesn't stop you from being part of the Android community.
Dude you need to calm down, even if you were my best friend i would call you those things if you told me you just watched a video and didn't see something. I wasn't being disrespectful and I answered your question. If i wanted to be an asshole i would have just called you a dumb ass for asking such a dumb ****ing question! Who in the world would replace their 8mp rear camera just to have a vga front facing camera? What kind of dumb ass can't read the forums and find out that the only issue with installing a ffc is the banding in the REAR CAMERA in low light situations. If I was an asshole like some of the people on these forums my comments would have been something similar to those. But i didn't i was just trying to be funny grumpy ass old man.
Subzerold, the thing is he's NOT your bestfriend, THAT'S why you can't call him those things. You're supposed to respect strangers. Seriously.
I saw on ultralinx, that there were pictures of bokeh photography taken by the galaxy s II camera. Does anyone know how they did that? I have no experience in photography, but want to try it out.
Tilt shift photography could also work if anyone knows how.
i heard about this website one time....i think it was called google.com. just type in what you are looking for and like magic it will show you cool stuff....
How did you get so funny, you aren't funny at all? I obviously looked at multiple sites, but those are for dslr cameras. Tilt shift photography is also hard to recreate without actually tilting the lens, so I wanted to know their trick.

You should probably ask on a photography board. It seems people on this board know more about using Google than they know about photography.

People here can get an attitude. I wish I could help with your question but I'd also say post on a photography board or search Google a little harder.

I use camera 360 for tilt shift. There's also a web app for Google Chrome that makes tilt ****ft but I haven't tried it yet.
I'm no photographer but I would experiment with macro to shoot bokeh pictures.

You did not see "bokeh" pictures come from a Galaxy S II - if you saw something claiming to have bokeh, it was Photoshopped. (Unless someone put a macro lens in front of the lens.)
"bokeh" is the quality of out-of-focus points in a photograph. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh
On a mobile phone, the sensor is so small that depth of field is insanely deep - it becomes nearly impossible to have anything that is out of focus. (Nearly all of the time, blurry photos are due to camera shake, not focus problems.)

Bingo. Bokeh is achieved with specific aperture and exposure settings impossible to get with a fixed lens camera like that on a phone. And true tilt-shift photos are done with an actual tilt-shift lens, not by holding the camera a certain way. This is why I responded the way I did. I've been a pro magazine photog since the early '90s having learned with film cameras. Digital has all but ruined the craft.

Software like the current version of Photoshop Elements gives you the ability to create bokeh effect. The small sensor size of most compact cameras (especially phone cameras) precludes getting true optical bokeh.

Yes it is question... but so what?. I think the attitudes of some here are a lot worse than a question outside of the Q&A section. Heck, a lot of the posts outside of the Q&A section are questions. If that bothers someone, they can post a simple suggestion to try the Q&A section.
Vignette can also simulate tilt-shift. If you want blurry photos you might as well just scratch the hell out of your lens, get it all dirty, and call it close enough for jazz.

See, I didn't know/don't know what aperture is... So, thanks for the info (especially since you're a pro and all) . It was probably Photoshopped anyway.
I love how once one person helps out and gives an answer, all the other people who posted dumb/non helpful/tryn to be funny comments want to jump back in and try to one up the person who helped out in the first place. Get over yourself.

I could have easily explained it to him in my first post, but as you can see from his last post about not knowing what aperture is, it would have been a waste of time. My subsequent detailed reply was to confirm what Entropy said rather than to impress or one-up anyone. Get over yourself.
Why are their sooooooo many people having problems with their S3?? I've had mine since launch day and cannot see any flaws what so ever. "my screens flickering" "pink tint on my screen" "laggy" you obviously done something wrong to have these problems....i don't mean to sound a knob but all I ever see is people having problems and possibly nit picking at stuff that isn't important

You guys have to remember that these type of forums seem to amplify the size of problems.
Also, the phone is not completely free of bugs and defects CAN and WILL happen. It's a normal part of the manufacturing process for some things to have less than stellar quality. Don't call bluff on everything.

Yeah, this.
On a forum like this, people are more likely to post about problems that they are experiencing with their device.
Imagine a forum full of posts like: OMG I have 23 apps open at the same time while watching a 1080p YouTube video and it's so smooth wow lol I love this phone it's so much faster than my girlfriends iPhone lol
If you're having a problem with your new phone, you make a post about it, hoping that someone more knowledgeable will help you out. If you are enjoying the phone in your everyday life and it's working well, nobody really makes random posts about that, do they?
Some people do have problems. Just because YOUR phone isn't laggy doesn't mean that there is no lag in any Galaxy S III device out there. Just because YOUR camera works doesn't mean that some people might have problems with camera force closing. And so on...
Of course, some people just are never happy - there are those as well!
Hopefully this will not be closed or bashed! I need some help here, I'm trying to decide between the GS3 or jumping ship to the iPhone 5. I'm disappointed in the iPad, feel like I will feel locked down with the iPhone but I'm ready for a change... I feel like the Galaxy won't be that big of a change for me usability wise, just performance and hardware upgrades so I'm also interested in anyones experiences with Jean Bean ROMs for the EVO 3Ds to make it most like the Galaxy at least for me to decide about the jump to iOS. Hope I can get some help and not just guys in their mother's basements trying to start an argument. Thanks in advance guys!

I don't know much about the iPhone 5, I've experienced iOS6 myself (obviously not much different from iOS5) and it seems a bit smoother. I honestly thought the GS3 was sub-par build quality wise. it felt too lightweight and slipped through my hands easily. I would google both and make a comparison for yourself. Because posting the same thread 3 times, once in the development section trying to start a flame war, and then twice here, is going to get you infracted from hell. I'm not a mod, but I can tell through these course of events you won't last here very long if you keep these kinda actions up. Not trying to be an ass, just giving you a friendly heads-up so you don't get in too much trouble. Hope I helped a little bit
I don't consider asking you (even with the "p" word) to read the forum rules and post in the correct forum "bashing", but now that you have I will try to help.
Here's a pretty unbiased review of the two phones, and here's a side-by-side feature comparison. And one more review with some sample pics from each device.
As far as simulating the SGS3 on an Evo 3D goes, that will be pretty hard to do since Samsung uses TouchWiz and HTC uses Sense, but if you want to try there is some information on getting TouchWiz for the Evo 3D in this post. The TouchWiz launcher on top of one of the CM10 ROM's in the Development Forum may be the closest you are going to get to simulation of the SGS3, but there are so many other differences that you probably would be better off going to a Sprint store or BestBuy and trying the real phones hands on. Since you can't replace iOS on an the iPhone with another operating system, it's probably best to compare the two in their stock configurations.

There are several people who check the q&a forums very often (ramjet, flashallthetime, coal686, and myself, just to name a few) and its not like you won't get an answer, its only when you post the same thing over and over that irritates people, especially when you violate the rules on purpose to try and get the answer you want (thread in the dev forum). So like I said, just post once, and check back every so often, and you'll guaranteed get your answer. Obey the rules, that's all any of us here on xda of of people

What I would suggest is go to each individual forum to which phone you would like as your new daily drive and poke around to what actual users are saying, as for iphone 5, I would admit to being anti apple. Issues with maps on ios 6 is a huge issue, it could spell the downward spiral for the iphone?
( Don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!!!)

I admin websites with more users than that and I've never had that to be a "problem" I don't get you guys here LOL suppose to be here to help and interact but anyway I ask anyone please do not post anything on this thread unless it is to answer my questions, thanks!
Go to Q & A in the stickies under ask mod any question and that gives you some answers.it is a very hard decision to go with any new phone, research on any forum is your best bet, actual users will have both points of views, bad and good, pro's and con's

Would you mind linking a couple of the websites with user forums that you admin so we can take a look? Maybe we can learn something from seeing how user questions and issues are addressed on other sites.
I know this post doesn't directly address your questions in the OP, but I've already given you as much information as I have on that, so maybe you wouldn't mind sharing something that might benefit the rest of us?
Thanks in advance.

Actually here is my full response to u since u insisted on calling me out in a public forum
No I'm saying learn to search learn try things out on your own. Make up ur own mind on what's best for you. Ask for help when your stuck.
Your saying...spoon feed me everything I want so I don't spend my time looking for myself and oh btw I'm gonna ask a question in the dev section cause it'll get seen more there. Go look in the dev section. How many question threads do u see in there. Did you look at the stickies. The one that reads "must read before u create a thread" or did u think u r special and not subject to the rule.
Obviously you thought that your above them cause you told people in ur thread not to get butt hurt cause u posted a thread where people would see it.
So who makes sense here. On xda we do not spoon feed members. We help members that run into issue. We encourage members to seek out answers on their own. There is a ton of info to get educated on. Use it. Then contribute. Its not that hard.

Lets keep this thread on topic I'm pretty sure thats a rule somewhere... spoon fed or not you guys should be nice and help educate someone especially if they are thinking about leaving android. Going through everything on your own is overwhelming and contradicting so many time especially when you don't have time to. What would be you opinion, you really haven't even clearly given it, I'm sorry if I have overlooked that. What do you think I should do if I am sick of the HTC experience, give the new EVO a try or go to GS3? who knows you might even also like the iPhone?

We answered your question in the first 3 or 4 posts. We told you to try each phone for yourself, and do some snooping around and see what you want to try for the EVO 3D. I don't know what else you want us to tell you. And side note, just because you admin other forums with more members, it doesn't give you the right to be a **** on our forums. Nobody wants to help someone who sets themselves higher than everyone else. We answered your question. Try each phone, and look around in the forums and decide for yourself. There's not much else our community can suggest

They are just site not forums and I wasn't trying the be a ****... I was just suggested to try the upcoming Note 2 that would fit my situation better, suggestions and insights like that is what I am looking for.
Again u want to be spoon fed. We don't do that here. Again search for your answers. I understand ur time is precious but ur not the center of the universe. Everyone's time is precious

Ok after reading all 2 pages, I think I feel cheated.......I will NEVER get my time back! LOL
allofthepeople, here's a suggestion! (hopefully you read all over it and your ADD doesn't kick in)
If you're going to come into a public forum like this and expect people to help you then it helps to follow the rules.
1. Going back and forward with a moderator, will get you NO WHERE!! I don't know how many idiots like yourself I see a day that think they will win an argument with a moderator. Not saying you can't reason with them BUT the way you're acting, is not going to happen.
2. AGAIN, just in case you didn't read #1...This ex-iPhone user, junior high school **** where you think the world owes you something attitude is getting old. Follow the rules and stop geting butt hurt about everything that happens on the internet....GROW UP!
3. Take time from your superstar job (media/sports aka camera man) and go into every thread like the rest of us and decide what ROM is best for you. Also there's this thing called YouTube......you can watch videos there and see as much reviews as you want about any phone.
4. At the end of the day, XDA doesn't need yet another thread from yet another self entitled member asking what's the best ROM or what phone should I get. 6 months to a year when you decide "I don't like this phone" you're going to be the one stuck with it, SO why do you think our opinion should matter??
Oh and if you want this SGS3 feel or whatever.....go find Devil Toast (CM9) and download the add-ons and launcher here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701961 and enjoy!
[EDIT]
I see you're a bit of a spammer and maybe have a reading problem (most likely that ADD kicking in) because you opened up 2 threads before this, both of which got closed down.....consider yourself lucky that the moderators haven't sent you on vacation I've seen people banned for less!

Could have just said the last part lol and I'm not an ex-iPhone user, never had one thats the point. I am not the one getting butt hurt lol I have read articles and watched videos. Was just trying to get a consensus from supposed educated people who might have had the same experiences I did and could give a little more light on it than I found in the other posts but I guess thats being "spoon fed". Please people stop trying to argue with me and if you don't like my thread then don't reply!!!!!!!
actually im gonna close this thread as the question has been answered and the thread is non longer needed. This is your last warning to listen to what a moderator tells you.
