[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pyromosh:
FYI, the official HTC Car Kit is still $60 from T-Mobile, but you can get it for $40 from ebay or Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/OEM-HTC-MYTOUCH-4G-Slide/dp/B005PNJA2Q/ref=lh_ni_t

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HTC-MYT...982620?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cfa21059c

I'll be ordering mine from the Amazon seller and I'll post back when I receive it to verify it's legit.

Looking at what's out there, there doesn't seem to be any other high quality car mounts. But $40 is a bit more reasonable than $60.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blash85:
I didnt' get if it's possible to place the phone in portrait mode, in any way.

I'm not interested in switching between portrait and landscape, just in portrait only. So.. is it possible? :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pyromosh:
The car kit arrived two days ago from that Amazon seller. It's legit, official T-Mobile branded dock. It's not super obvious how to mount it to the windshield, or how it moves, but you CAN put it into portrait or landscape, but it's not as easy as those simple plastic mounts. Once I figured it out though, it seems like a clever, better mechanism.

It's very stiff and doesn't have a huge, easy range of motion.

In my car at least, this is a pain, so I have it in landscape.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
It can be in any orientation, but not easily switchable between on and the other.

The official dock is meant for landscape but you can certainly rotate everything to meet your needs.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] raduque:
I just bolted an L-bracket straight to my dash, then screwed a universal mount to it and glued the arms at the perfect width to hold the phone. I can rotate it counter-clockwise to go into landscape, but I use it 99% of the time in landscape mode. The mount is a Schoche universal vent mount that I unbolted all the crap from the back of. I glued the arms because the internal mechanism that holds them tight broke.

Edit: wow, big picture...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
Aren't you worried about car value?

I had the otterbox on the MT4G and plan and getting it for my MT4GS when available! It's not that bad!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] rorytmeadows:
Surprisingly, the same leather holster case I used for my Touch Pro 2 works fine with this one. There was only one 4G slide branded case at the store, a gel skin in hot pink, so I ended up browsing the Universal area. The smaller T-Mobile Universal holster didn't fit, but the larger one that normally would fit the Dash and Touch Pro 2 worked just fine. So I ended up not buying another and going home and using the one I've had for years.

Leather HTC Evo case from Sprint... I've used it for an Evo, Optimus, SGS4G, G2X, and MT4GS.

Looks like this:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
When I was in the T-mobile store buying the phone, There was a leather belt case for the Mytouch4G right there, we popped it open and tried it out.

Fits nice and snug, I put it in so the camera lens is at the bottom. It exposes the usb charging socket at the top of the case, so I can plug it in while it's on my hip.

I read about the camera lens getting scratched and didn't want to ave it exposed. I could go for a better case, but this one will do the trick until something made for it specifically comes out.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
I've been sketchy about magnetic cases since my cliq's touchscreen messed up and was replaced four times. My last cliq lasted till I got the mytouch 4g slide (about 9 months).

Not only that, I'm scared of my phone being out of my pocket while I'm riding my bike. My G1 fell out of my case on the freeway lol.

[Atrix 4G General] glegge:
Good Day.

I noticed that Motorola has released Blur_Version_4_5_91_MB860_ATT_en_US_zip (gingerbread) for the atrix 4g

the only thing is after talking with them, the update will only go out to (and work) for phones located physicaly in the US.

I am in New Zealand.

I should note here, that ultimatly i just want to upgrade my phone to gingerbread using the mororola release mentioned at the top of this post.

I was hoping someone may be able to suggest a way to put the update on my phone here in NZ.

I have tried putting Blur_Version_4_5_91_MB860_ATT_en_US_zip on the SD card (root directory), and telling the phone to update (settings-about phone-system updates), but the update does not start. It just returns to the about phone screen.)

my phone has system version

version_4_1_83_mb860_att_en_us

model number

mb860

android version

2_2_2

baseband version

n_01-77-07p

motorola webtop version

oshwt_u1_4-257-19

kernel version

2_6_32_9-00005-gde8e6dcfpgh48(at)ca25rhe85 #1 smp preempt tue mar 1 09:17:07 pst 2011

build number

olyfr_u4_1-8-3

I have checked a few other threads related to Blur_Version_4_5_91_MB860_ATT_en_US_zip but dont really find an answer for loading this outside the US.

any help would be appreciated.

I'd prefer to keep the phone relatively standard, but will of course consider any action to get it up to the gingerbread version released by at&t-motorola.

many thanks in advance.

kind regards

Gavin

I don't know about using the update, but you can unlock the bootloader and flash a ROM that is the same as the OTA.

Start with the pudding thread to unlock your bootloader

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261

Then move onto a ROM that you want. If you want the stock OTA go with Kens beta 4

Thank you for offering to help. i appreciate that a lot.

My phone i purchased mail order from a firm in china.

It appears to be unlocked (as it works on telecom NZ UMTS network OK)

it appears to be root (as there is an application 'superuser' which allows root access to things like screen shot application and backup application etc).

i have since done a back to factory reset (Privacy settings then press factory data reset)

when it started, i put in my userID and password, and it cam back with superuser application)

Since the reset, i have installed very few apps (face book etc), and i have not freezed any aps.

I have not done any mods since the factory reset (done just before i attempted the upgrade above).

Thank you for any help you can give me.

I also have the ATT us version in INdia and today after reading the gingerbread update news I went to about settings -->about phone -->System update and could able to see a pop-up ATT message for the update so I think it doesn't matter where you are if your phone was bought from ATT then you should be able to do the OTA update. Just make sure you are not rooted while doing the update else you can brick your phone
[Atrix 4G General] mramirezusa:
Yeap the only problem they had is they had mods in their /system so when they are trying to apply the GB OTA they got stuck in the process so you NEED to RESTORE the proper /system files (Pristine image from ATT 4.1.83) before you apply GB OTA

In your case it seem you did not have any mod in your /system so your is straight shot just settings->about phone->update and done!

The problem are with the people with mod's in their phones.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] manekineko:
I activated the AT&T $15 for 250MB plan on my Tab. I've got the AT&T widget that displays exactly how much data I've used so far, and it goes fast.

Are there any good apps for managing data usage people recommend?

In particular, I like to sync things like Google Reader/GMail/Google Voice. However, it'd be great if there were a way to set non-essentials like Google Reader to sync only on wifi, while having GMail and Google Voice continue to sync whether on cellular data or wifi.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] cheatman:
Due to the Android OS architecture you cannot set up I/O resource access on a per-application basis unless the app has the feature built in. That means, you can not control from an app how other apps access resources.

This happens because all apps run in their own containers that can access the system through the permission system. This helps isolate apps and prevent other apps from interfering with their environment. Access is one-way: from the app to the system. The system or other apps cannot enter another app environment.

Thus, as long as Google Reader does not provide the feature to sync only over WIFI, then you cannot block it in any other way except disabling your data.

Perfect suggestion turruso!

@manekineko: if you also browse the Net a lot using your device, you might give Opera a chance. Using the Opera Turbo feature will help you save a lot on your plan because they compress pages before transferring them to your phone.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] PBL1:
Perhaps you are looking for something like traffic counter (from the market) it monitors cell, wifi, call and SMS and let you set limits to those.

Also calculate billing and monitors the installed apps data in and out
