[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
It's not that simple - even when it's turned off it does it's best to make trouble and get in the way of other things running right.

Don't worry though - you aren't the only one who uses it and it didn't get axed yet specifically because there are people using it.

I won't be taking it away from you - I just have to sit down and figure out how to get rid of it so that the rest of us who want gone aren't stuck with it.

I've definitely noticed an improvement in the devices responsiveness since it's been gone, but I just went in and manually removed it which is a lot different then making an update for others to flash.

In my ideal world it would not be included in the ROM, and then I would provide a patch that people could flash who wanted it, that way they could add it at their option. Or even better add it to Bloater.

For the people who don't want it, never having had it is much preferred and cleaner then removing it after install.

I get the feeling though, because of how much of a system hog this wifi calling app is, it's not going to be that simple. It's very likely that installing it after the fact in a patch won't allow it to work right, and lead to a buggy install of the app.

Whatever happens with it i'll make sure to test, test and test some more what I decide to do until i'm sure no one who actually does use it will be inconvenienced, so you can lay your fears to rest that you'll lose it.

Making sure people don't lose any of the function or capability of the device that they paid for in proprietary functions or software is a priority - has been from the start. I'd hate to buy something and then end up not getting my moneys worth because I couldn't use some of it's functions.

HTC screwed me (us) when they blocked us from using bluetooth controllers on the Sense experience, which is not cool and aggravating - and still hasn't been resolved. I certainly don't want to do something like that to anyone else knowing how much it frustrates me.

I've had this device for 6 solid months now, and still can't sit back on my couch and play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on FPSE with a real playstation controller while my phone sits up at the TV on the short video cable. Doing that, right there, is almost the entire reason I bought the phone in the first place.

Edit: This post is where I decided to buy this device. Playing castlevania was what I had in mind when I went to the store.

I went to T-Mobile, got this phone, came home and wanted to play my favorite video game on the TV. Come to find I can't. WTF. Aggravating.

(well, I can, but not with a controller, so I get a playstation game without the best controller ever made - talk about disappointing.)

I've found plenty of reasons to justify having the device, I made a scapegoat out of my job (and it really doubles or triples my productivity/ability at work) but that's all secondary and irrelevant because I can't play my game the way I wanted to, expected to - and should be able to. It's fully capable of happening, but i'm prevented from doing so by HTC for some unknown reason.

I love HTC, and the good way, way outweighs the few gripes I have, but dammit this is one of them.

So no, I won't screw you the way HTC screwed me.
