Mytouch 4G: Glacier

Mytouch 4g SLIDE: Doubleshot

They're two very different phones. And the hardware is way more different than "just a hardware keyboard", for example: CPU is different, board is different, camera is different...I could go on and on.

Developers (at least me) do state what device the ROM is made for, it should be pretty clear...if it doesn't include a "Slide" at the end of "Mytouch 4G" then that probably means your Mytouch 4G Slide isn't supported...plus the fact that this forum itself isn't even for the Mytouch 4G Slide...

Now you are of course, welcome to flash our ROMs onto your device, we just won't guarantee it will boot. And if it bricks, well it was your choice to flash. There's a reason why there's a different forum for the Mytouch 4G Slide...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEindian:
Also, i believe the screen is sharper on the slide so everything would look distorted and like crap anyway

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canopic:
Thanks for both replys

Yes, I learn something every day and you told me exact;y what I needed to know. I didn't know the slide had its own forum, now I do I'll look there. Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushfunn:
Try Dark Unicorn Resurrected v.2.5 or SyNthetic_aospX 1.0.0-BR7, they are pretty sweet ICS ROMs ...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canopic:
what roms are good for Mytouch 4g slide?

I would love to try one of these ROMs, but I can't find anywhere that it says they will work with a MT4G slide. It says Glacier, and I'm not sure, but I think Glacier is only referring to the MT4G? What is nickname for the slide version which I've got? I think probably Sensation is also different? I need to install/try a ROM developed for my slide? If you don't know of a good ROM for my slide, can you recommend a good ISC/JB ROM for a Desire Z which I also have, as I haven't seen one listing this either. I'm also a little confused when I read the ROM listings as some provide lists of what works and what doesn't yet they don't say which phone this applies to. They might list 5 or 6 phones that the ROM can be used on, yet I can't believe that this list [call it a bug list] can be the same across the different hardware of these phones. What am I missing? Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ...Awesome...:
The reason why no Developers mark their ROMs MYTOUCH 4G ONLY is because they are posted in the MYTOUCH 4G forums the MyTouch 4GS has its own threads ! If they were supported they would have their own thread in the MyTouch 4GS threads.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Stick within a section for a device. Use only what is found within that section. The hardware differs so greatly between phones/tablets that flashing something from a different device to yours will give you a brick.

There are multi-device ROMs, but if you look inside the installation zip you will see that the kernel, build.prop and sometimes other files for each specific device are stored there. The correct files are flashed for that device upon installation. It should also be pointed out that the devices will already share many similar features like display resolution, SoC type, etc.

Perhaps a little more research on your part would be good so you don't turn one of your devices into a paperweight.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEindian:
He is not talking to you, he is talking to everyone that has this device. Please go to the mytouch 4g slide forums, i am sure they have plenty of roms for you because you will just get flamed here.

If i see another post from you about glacier roms, i won't be so kind.

Long side

26.4 cm vs 26 cm

Short side

18.3 cm vs 17.7 cm

[Acer Iconia A500] GadjetGirl59:
I was using this case and it did fit, but it made the tab very heavy. I like the Acer case better.
[Acer Iconia A500] propagandax:
Yes I have a dx case, this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/Android-10-View...&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=9203031377927262265

Fits great. Straps cover the buttons and charge port but not big deal
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
propagandax - i like that style. any photos?

i also like this... keyboard/case combo for the g-tablet.

I have been looking at this but I didn't want to purchase it with out knowing that it will work. Can you post a pic or two of your your Acer mounted in the case?

Thanks.

I have the G-Tab case with the keyboard and it works great as long as you use a USB hub. it doesn't matter which one and you can multiple devices with the hub. I tested with two keyboards and they both worked at the same time. Without the hub, the keyboard will not work.
[Acer Iconia A500] carlosmontanez:
Here are some pics:

Found it on Amazon ($19) if anyone cares, about to pick it up.

[Acer Iconia A500] jganyard:
Ordered that one myself last night.
[Acer Iconia A500] Shigster:
Thank you so much! I have the same case and I was bummed it didn't work.

Tried and it and it works beautifully! And I can use the mouse as well with the hub
[Acer Iconia A500] carlosmontanez:
No problem. The mouse actually works too. You just don't get the pointer, yet. I believe Honeycomb 3.1 should take care of that.
[Acer Iconia A500] Shigster:
If you use the Mouse.apk that is floating around in development you do get a pointer =P
[Acer Iconia A500] depperly:
Just ordered this case and a very cool ultra portable USB HUB (link). With a bit of luck I think I can tuck this hub into the case and not have to have a second piece to lug around. I will post picks once I have it all together. With this case, that hub and my touch screen stylus (link), I think I have a laptop replacement. Well maybe not a full replacement, but a travel partner that can do everything I need it to while I am out and about...

:)
[Acer Iconia A500] Shigster:
My case was bigger than the tab so it would slide out a bit. Also I was worried of the flap holding it back coming in and opening the case and my tab coming out.

So I bought some of those velcro stickers (placed on top of some carbon fiber vinyl to protect the tablet) and voila, the tablet stays in place and can be easily taken off.

Just a tip if you want to secure the tablet a bit more
[Acer Iconia A500] depperly:
Here is a pic of the Iconia in the GTablet keyboard case. As with everyone else, I have to use a hub in order to get the keyboard to work.

It is a bit larger in dimension than the Iconia, but I found that the Iconia in the acer case fits like a glove.
[Acer Iconia A500] jganyard:
Got it. Fits well except the power/sleep button was covered by one of the thicker leather corner holds. I had to flip it and now its covered by the thinner elastic corner hold, but is accessible
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
i just ordered the senyx leather case (for the Kindle DX) from amazon. they updated their description to include "A500 compatibility" hehe.

We'll see how it goes. Probably going to return the Acer OEM case today back to staples. not a big fan of it.
[Acer Iconia A500] carlosmontanez:
Thanks for the info. I like the hub and it looks like it should fit well inside the case.
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
i received the Senyx case today (one built originally for Kindle DX) and it is a nice fit. As someone did mention previously on this, the straps will cover up the power button but you can still press it down with the strap on very easily.

I definitely prefer this over the Acer case even though it doesnt have a built-in stand and is thicker. It's way more professional looking at half the cost. I bought the Arkon stand on the side anyway, and these two are still less then the cost of the acer case.
[Acer Iconia A500] markteacher:
+1

I received the Senyx today also. Very pleased with it, despite the fact that it does cover the power button and you don't have cut outs for speakers and camera - the speakers still put out a decent volume with the case on, and I really don't plan on using the camera that much anyway.

The horrid, smelly official acer case is resigned to the bin replaced by something better looking, more hard wearing, a darn sight more protective, allows you to see the beauty of the tech and cost half the price.

Such is life.....
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
yep. the senyx also has a smell too but i was able to wash most of it away with a blend of water, baking soda powder, and soap and a cloth to wipe it out.
[Acer Iconia A500] markteacher:
Minataur, have you ever seen a UK show called 'How Clean Is Your House' with Kim and Aggie?

(Little uk humour there :D)

Don't mind the smell of this one too much, more fake leather than petrol/rubber mix ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] minotauri:
haha nope. :)

i was able to return my acer case within its return policy window thank goodness. that product is a ripoff.
[Acer Iconia A500] bestbeancounter:
Just got mine today and am happy with the purchase. Now I'm waiting for my skinomi screen protector and I'm good to go!

I do agree there is a smell to the case, but it's really not that bad..
[Xoom General] wiesman2613:
About a week ago my Xoom touchscreen just quit responding. I was using it one night put it on the dock to charge and the next morning..touchscreen unresponsive.

So I sent my Xoom wifi over to Moto to get it repaired. I get it back today and a page right on top of the box had a checkbox that said that my unit has water damage and is unrepairable.

Now a little history, I bought the wifi on the day it came out March 27th at Best Buy. I bought the Invisible Shield along with it. I literally opened the box and put the Invisible Shield on the screen before even turning on the device. I put the Xoom in the gel case that I had from the 3g that I had returned.

Being such an expensive item I have babied this Xoom it literally has not been anywhere where water could have gotten into the unit. I'm attaching a few links so you guys can see the pictures that moto sent me and claimed that it was my unit.

The pictures look like they came from a unit that was abused and probably dipped in water. From the outside of my Xoom it has no damage at all. It has been in its case from day one.

What do you guys think I can do?

(I've been a member of this forum for awhile I just never posted until recently as I usually just browse. So i am unable to put a link up of the pictures yet.)
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
I suppose it is possible that the liquid solution used to apply the skin somehow seeped down into the display along the edges. I really don't know what your options are man but I will say this... none of our units came in a sealed box so how are we to know that the unit we bought and paid for shipped from the manufacturer unused? Thats grounds for some sort of legal person to figure out in my opinion.
[Xoom General] slack04:
Call them and be very friendly, but if someone won't help you, get a manager. If the manager won't help, ask for their supervisor (and so on). Don't be rude, but make sure you don't let them off the phone unless they hang up on you. Keep saying: That isn't my xoom. You must have mixed something up.

Good luck!

[Xoom General] Numbaonei:
Easy option. I've done this with my ipad and many phones if I didn't have time to fix it myself. You tell them only problem I had was the touchscreen but the night b4 it was heating up and that can cause moisture build up and that can change the indicator showing its wet. Now if they say that it looks like something clearly spilled then maybe some1 might've and hid the truth from u. Good luck!
[Xoom General] Numbaonei:
Ohh also the sun can damage it. Was it near the window where the sun light was hitting it? Ive repaired countless things for my customers and sometimes it shows wet indicator when it really was never dropped in or spilled on. Let me know. If anything give me ur serial number n all n ill call for u.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Did you use water applying the screen protector?

I'll never understand why people use screen protectors on any phone/tablet devices these days. They all have glass screens.

Water could have gotten in there during installation and very slowly corroded the components.
[Xoom General] wiesman2613:
Thanks for the tips.. I ended up taking the xoom back to best buy as a last resort ..

After the geek squad guy at the counter tried to give me the typical run around I asked to speak to a manager.. (nicely of course) After going back and forth for a bit they decided to give me a new xoom!!

I definitely didn't expect that but I will tell you best buy earned my loyalty just from that one thing.

As for the previous xoom the only thing I did was put the invisible shield on it withtl that solution they give you.. that's the only way I can imagine it could've gotten water damage..

As for moto I will tell you in the future I will most likely not purchase one of their products as they were of no help and did everything they could to get me off the phone when I called to discuss their water damage claim..
[Xoom General] Dollyllama:
I understand your statements about water and understand your corrosion theory...however, I'm not sure I understand your logic about not using a screen protector. Many people have reported that even Gorilla Glass scratches depending on the circumstances.

I'm not trying to sound condescending, so I hope this is not taken that way. I'm interested in your rationale though...convince me why I don't need a screen protector...I'll gladly like the chance to save $20-$30 I spend on screen protectors.
[Xoom General] cam30era:
I have a Droid Incredible that is one year old. No screen protector. It "travels " in my pocket, and gets a lot of use every day. Not one scratch or mark of any kind on the screen.

So, no screen protector on my Xoom either. And there are no scratches on it's screen although it's only 7 weeks old.
[Xoom General] KerryG:
Now don't listen to Pandora on your new XOOM while taking a shower. The steam will show water damage very very quickly.
[Xoom General] SPIDERTECH:
Yeah they don't repair tablets. That's why their "protection" plans cost more than they normally would. They just replace the entire thing. Did you ever register the zagg shield on their site? Since it has a lifetime warranty you should be able to get a replacement for that too. Although, I think you have to send in the old one once you remove it.

Did you remove it before returning your old one? :D
[Xoom General] bossjeeves:
Bummer about your experience man, glad it worked out for ya.

And for the others talking about not getting a screen protector... i was/am a huge hater of them, never had one on my evo and it lives in my pocket with keys and other junk, it has never scratched, so needless to say i never wanted one on my Xoom either, but the fingerprints and glare were too much so i bit the bullet and even though it took a while to get used to i don't regret it one bit
[Xoom General] jase33:
Im all about the screen protector. Not to stop the scratches so much, but I have the anti grease sheilds on all my stuff. I hate fingerprints!!1 I wish I could get them big enough to put on the back windows of my cars to keeps the kids little finger prints off the glass:D

BTW...glad to hear you got a new Xoom.
[Xoom General] fkofilee:
Carphone warehouse over in the uk have a nice little notebook padded cover that i bought for my xoom with a zip on it, although its loose, the protection works a treat and in my bag too, protects it from scratches etc, etc,

never been a huge fan of protective screens, never been able to get them on without there being some sort of problem.

My advice on this one for water damage;

- "Apple "Claimed" in the UK that iphone useres had decided to dip their phones into glasses of water, glasses of water which infact were no existant, they were taken to Watchdog, (UK BBC show) and were forced to change their process for evaluating water damage. Turns out people sweating were setting of the water damage indicators due to them being on the charging port XD"

Maybe pester Motorola.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
The thing is, your Dinc has never been dropped. Do you have a case for it btw? Cases create a gap between the screen and the ground so that is to prevent cracked screens. On the other hands, screen protectors serve many purposes, scratches, glare, fingerprint.....so it is a very good thing to have. I believe it is money well spent.

Though, some don't read the instruction and spray the water on the screen (not pointing finger at you op :) ) and that's when it gets damaged. Just spray the screen protector itself is safe enough. But seriously, I respect your belief, I am still considering screen protectors are good at what they do.
[Xoom General] e.mote:
Good that the OP got redress without too much hassle.

As a point of reference for future issues involving items of "substantial" value, always take pics (with date stamps) before sending stuff in to RMA. Even though it wouldn't be incontrovertible proof, it's a sign of due diligence that can be used in small claims court.

Which is the logical next step, assuming other efforts at redress fail, and assuming you feel strongly enough to take action. People usually get scared off when the word "legal" is involved, but with some homework, you can be competent in a small-claims case.

And since we're on the Internet, the first step, of course, is to look up the FAQs for small claims suit in your locality. Your govt is your friend (if you would bother to look). Here is the FAQ for Calif, USA.

[Xoom General] cam30era:
No case for my DINC. And I have dropped it several times, hard enough for the back to come off, and the battery to come out (talk about a forced reboot!). I really am not convinced of the value of screen protecrors. But it's an individual decision, of course.
[Xoom General] eyecon82:
not only that..it has gorilla glass

my evo has gorilla glaas.....i bought it on launch day with no screen protector or case...carry it naked and not a single scratch!
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
My Incredible had a scratch on it from pre-protector use. All glass can scratch, end of story.
[Xoom General] dscribe:
The incredible does not use gorilla glass. While it may be possible scratch gorilla glass, there is a difference.
[Xoom General] cdejesus1119:
incorrect incredible does use gorilla glass..
[Xoom General] :
My Evo supposedly has gorilla glass. I have 2 scratches on the screen and I keep it in my left pocket with nothing else in it. I baby this thing but it has 2 scratches that are about an inch. I believe in screen protectors and don't believe in Gorilla glass.

I'm pretty sure they use a tiny layer of it on the screen.
