Blackknight, I'm glad you got a good laugh. Now if there is anyway that can help me or can guide me to someone who can I'd appreciate that. I thought I can get some help, instead I'm feeling like I'm being mocked and laughed at, thanks for that. If anyone on this site is truly here for the purpose of helping noobies such as myself please reply on the thread or you can email me directly at giovannijgonzalez@gmail.com. Thanks in advance.

By the easy I already have the unlock code from tmobile, if that means anything.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Hello the sticky in general should help you. Or click on my sig.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Yes you need to put money on it or get a new sim card. You have no service due to not paying the bill or something wacky with the sim, but youre always allowed to dial 911.

If your phone is unlocked already, rooting wont help you. I think you need to pay the bill, or update the sim card.

When you put the sim in ,if your phone is not unlocked ,it would ask you for the lock code before you can do anything.

Handle by the name of NoobyDobbyDoo is asking a lot of n00b questions and acting like a n00b. Nope, no puppy account here. This guy seems legit.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
Thanks for the response.

I guess I didn't make it clear, my SIM is working fine in my HD2 and I tries someone else's SIM (also Simple Mobile) which works fine in his N900 but has same problem in the MT4GS.

I googled the message I got "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" and it came up in a bunch of places, but so far none of the ideas I've seen have worked for me).

As far as updating the SIM, I will look into that. Perhaps bec the MT4GS is a newer 4G phone it needs a newer SIM card (I am only trying to use 3G with the $40 plan)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] eclipsed450:
Based on that, I would wager heavily that the phone was not actually unlocked.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
How could it be locked if it's not asking for an unlock code?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
What network does simple mobile use(i would assume gsm)? Also have you tried calling them to see if you need to create a new account as in registering the phone?

Have you trried looking at the network settings and making sure the proper network is set?

Not sure if that would help but it appears to be an incompatability somewhere. I know sometimes sim cards can be native to the phones settings. As in the sim cannot access your phone due to it being set up on another, by the carrier.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
Simple Mobile uses T-Mobile's network and they say the phone should work out of the box.

The vendor is willing to replace the phone, only he didn't have it in stock as of today (and I was hoping to have it for the holidays) .

I appreciate all the efforts to help me out though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Try a new SIM card.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
Sorry so late getting to this. You only need replace the sim card. That is all. I have set up several MT4GS with Simple Mobile. SM is on the T-Mobile Network and there is no need to unlock the phone. Just insert the sim and set up your APN's for Simple Mobile access to the T-Mobile infrastructure. If you need help with that I made a post in this forum a while ago with the correct SM APN settings.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
Thanks for the response.

Since my current SIM card works fine in my N8 & HD2 (with Android), how would a new SIM help? Isn't it more likely it's an issue with the phone itself?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
You may think it's nothing, but the SIM card may likely be your issue. Try someone else's SIM card in your phone and see what happens.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
Please try another sim card or preferably a new card before going thru the hassle prone process of exchanging your phone. Simple Mobile operates by leasing spectrum and cell infrastructure from T-Mobile. You DO NOT have a locked phone issue. You may have some kind of hardware issue but not a locked phone issue and it is likely the sim card.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
My SIM card DOES work in other phones, and I tried a friend's whose SIM is working fine in an N900 and it didn't work in the MT4GS either.

I'm thinking about switching to the T-Mo prepaid $30 1,500 talk/text plan (I don't need the data much, usually use wifi). So I could try their SIM in the phone (although Simple Moble is SUPPOSED to work). How is T-Mo prepaid? is it the same quality as regular T-Mo service (mainly for calling)? How does Simple Mobile compare to both?

Thanks a lot for all the input!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
To be clear, I am using the MT4GS on simple mobile and it didn't require unlocking just as all the other T-Mobile phones I have brought to Simple Mobile have not required unlocking. If your sim is working everywhere else and additional working sim cards aren't working in your phone it is likely the phone as you said earlier.

As for the plans, the $30 T-Mobile plan is 1500 minutes of combination text/talk. How much do you talk and text? 1500 combined would not be nearly enough for me. Simple Mobile offers $40 unlimited text/talk so maybe that's an option if you don't need network data. I've had really good service with Simple Mobile. They lease T-Mobile network so the service is the same.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
Thanks

I tried a friend's tmobile sim tonight & it didn't work either, so the phone is going back tomorrow.

I'm currently on the SM $40 plan & think I'll stick with it.

Looking forward to getting the new phone!

Thanks all again
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ymmp:
All Set Now - Thanks!

Received the replacement phone on Friday (wasn't getting much help from vendor until I used the Amazon "Contact Seller", then I got a ton of apologies and they overnighted the new phone, even before they received the old one) and it seems to be working well.

Decided to stay with Simple Mobile - hard to give up unlimited everything for $40.

Thanks a lot for all the advice and concern. I'm glad to be part of the MT4GS community. Looking forward to learning how to root and try custom ROMs (I loved the 3.5 Energy ROM on my HD2).

I'm under the impression I should not update with the HTC update, because then can't root.. Is that so?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
There is currently no way to unlock the bootloader and thus no way to root a MT4GS with the update. If the phone's bootloader was unlocked before updating you can go backwards but the update cannot yet be rooted, meaning no roms, Titanium Backup or other essential apps requiring root.

And hey, I'm also using Simple. What do you think T-Mobile getting the iphone in March will mean for our network speed? I've been thinking about that lately. Could be the beginning of the end of a good deal if the network slows to a crawl overloaded with iphone users milking the cheap bandwidth.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
If you want to root, do not apply T-Mobile's OTA patch. Just go straight into the Revolutionary method and remember that it'll take several tries for the Superuser.zip file to flash in recovery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cybertang:
Boot loader for the newest update is unlockable through htcdev just follow the process stated I tried it already and our devices now work correctly and is rootable

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
As far as I know the only way to unlock this phone without getting the code from T-Mobile is to 1) root and 2) use the method in the Sensation thread.
[Continuum Android Development] pattielipp:
So this is something i have tested working myself. I DO NOT recommend this for everyone simply because you can severely mess up your phone and it's wireless connections.

In a nut shell what this allows you to do is utilize your phones built in 3g mobile hot spot and tethering application without paying the extra $20 a month. The legality of this is questionable so use it at your own risk.

What you need:

Samsung drivers(you can find these)

QPST software download it here

1. Install the samsung driver for our phone, as well as the QPST software

2. Place your phone in modem mode(settings, wireless, enable dial up)

3. Plug in your phone and allow all drivers and everything to install.

4. Load up QPST configuration

5. Navigate to the tab that says ports and select "Add New Port"(if all is well you should have one that says something about usb, or anything about your phone)

6. Once the device is added go to the top menu bar, select "Start Clients" and then "Service Programming"

7. Next select "OK" to the device in the box.

Now for the tricky things where you MUST be careful!

8. at the bottom of this box select "Read from Phone"

9. If the password in the box is not "000000"(six zeros) type it in and click OK.

10. You now want to tab over on the top until you see the tab that says "M. IP" select this.

11. Select Profile 0(it will be the very first one on the top) and select "Edit..."

12. You now should Have two input boxes the first one labled "NAI" and the second "Tethered NAI"

13. Under "Tethered NAI" it should say something similar to "XXXXXXXXXX@dun.vzw3g.com" (the X's refer to your personal number)

14. You need to edit this so that it no longer has "dun" in it,

"XXXXXXXXXX@vzw3g.com"

15. You should now have NAI and Tethered NAI as the same thing. Now click OK and finally "Write to phone"(located in the bottom left). Your phone will reboot its self.

16. Upon first boot you need to go back into settings, wireless, and disable dial up networking. (first time i did this i got a force close with gapps, but did not cause any issues)

If you followed this exactly, you should now have 3g mobile hotspot :)

I must warn you however, if you reprogram your phone via *228 this will go away! so it will have to be performed again.

Enjoy!
[Continuum Android Development] turboblue385:
Is this continuum specific? I've guy a buddy with a Samsung showcase that is very interested.
[Continuum Android Development] pattielipp:
it should be able to work on most phones. I modified this from a samsung fascinate guide and wrote more detailed instructions, however it should work for most android devices.
[Continuum Android Development] Bierce22:
ah not to rain on your parade but wouldnt it be easier to just use googles wireles tether 3.0 above and select samsung facinate softap mode pretty much anything will pick that up.
[Continuum Android Development] pattielipp:
Perhaps it would be easier, but it adds extra bloat and just isn't as good as using the original..

Imagine, you want to tether via wireless or wired.. well you simply go into your drawer and select 3g mobile hotspot... So much easier than downloading an app that you are either limited to non secure sights via a wired connection(pda net) or you have to use a tethering app that may or may not work properly, supports only an adhoc connection, has connectivity issues or is just a PITA to setup...

So why not use the app that is already in your app drawer that you can't get away. :)

Give it time and i'll have a patch for exactly this where you won't even need to perform these steps...

Oh, did i mention i can alter the amount of devices you can have connected at once via 3g wireless hotspot, and my speeds over 3g with my rom are coming in between 0.5MB-3MB per second (as of the tests i've done as of now. I just pulled 1.71mb/sec upload sucks, but i'm not uploading things using it. lol)
[Continuum Android Development] Bierce22:
man i miss unlimited data lol thats what got me into trouble with sprint i pretty much forced my hero to roam of off verizon because theres a tower literaly half a mile from my house and apparantly using over 500mb of data roaming a day is a big no no lol. long story short they sent a letter and i got da boot. now i just have a dsl connection and the 2gig data plan so my bill is only about 10$ more than on sprint.

the moral of this story is becarefull with this because verizon does know what your doing
[Continuum Android Development] pattielipp:
The beauty of this modification is that the regular 3g uses the connection of XXXXXXXXXX@3gvzw.com... When you connect up the 3g wireless hotspot it sets the connection to XXXXXXXXXX@dun.3gvzw.com.. This is how they know you have tethering because verizon sets this connection as active. SOOO what this is actually doing is setting the tethering app to utulize the normal 3g connection. SOOO it looks as if you are simply using the normal 3g connection..

Another way to do this is to run the 3g hotspot and have a widget to turn on and off 3g. When you toggle the connection it sets the connection back to the normal 3g even though you have open 3ghotspot Thus allowing tethering.
[Continuum Android Development] pattielipp:
I am testing this now and i just performed option 2 after *228 and it did not break tethering. In fact i am on it now. Time for option 1 test
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
The new wireless tether allows regular connections, not just ADHOC :D

I've done this before, not gonna lie... But I deemed it.... Eh... Not worth it :P also, a lot of people have issues with dropped signal after doing it :P But, it is nifty, no doubt :P I was messing around with qdxm and such since my original enV :P

I tried downloading google's Wireless Tether from the android market and it said my device is not supported, did you have this problem? i am running Miunia Rom beta 4

Why are you asking this on a forum for a phone that isn't on sprint, and doesn't even have an equivalent? I would suggest checking your phones forum.

[Continuum Android Development] jmberumenb:
Well I tried this

But for some weird reason every time I trie to mod and restart the phone the parameters return to their original setting, Like I didn't do anything to change it.

Is there something wrong?

I used QPST and if I change the vrzw3g something to anything and restart the phone everything goes back to default...

Thanks for any help.....
[Continuum Android Development] trailblazer101:
If you can't get it working, I honestly wouldn't struggle with it anymore o_O like I said, this is morally grey/illegal, has caused dropped signal for some fascinate users, can be tracked, and has a lot of good alternatives... Wifi tether is my favorite :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iKidRobot:
I want to switch from the Zedomax kernel to Entropy. Is there anything special I need to do or can I just do it like I would if I was rooting for the first time? Also, for new updates on the Entropy kernel, how do I go about doing that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] madquack:
Simply download the specified kernel you want to install, put it on your sdcard, then flash it in CWM brother.

As far as updates go... whenever Entropy finishes them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iKidRobot:
so switching kernels is basically like rooting for the first time?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
no its more like flashing between roms without wiping
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iKidRobot:
i can just flash the kernel through CWM? i wouldn't have to use Odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iKidRobot:
to update, i would just use odin or would i still us CWM?

sorry for these noob questions...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Entropy512's kernels are only available in CWM zip files. You can't flash them with odin (unless you extract the zImage and make your own tar.)

so... Flash from Zedomax kernel to Entropy kernel: flash it using CWM recovery.

and... Update to next version of Entropy kernel: flash it using CWM recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AtlanM87:
CWM flashing of zip kernels is much easier. BTW, how do you make your own tar files?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
On a linux box. Or on your phone using terminal emulator. I've never had any success trying to make a tar on a Windows computer, although supposedly it is possible using cygwin. For usage, search the linux tar command.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
cygwin should work. 7-zip apparently creates files that Odin refuses to flash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geomax45:
Mobile Odin will work also
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iKidRobot:
okay so I entered CWM and installed from internal SD card with the file DD_12122011.zip (Entropy's). Kernel version still says 2.6.35.7 when I go to "about phone" which I think is still Zedomax's kernel? can someone verify I am doing this correctly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Zedomax and Entropy kernels are both based on 2.6.35.7 and will look identical in About Phone.

If you want to check for sure, install CPU Spy free from the market. In the kernel information, Entropy's kernel will have adodd@quadmonkey. Also, the date will reflect 12/12/2011.

Thanks for pointing me to the thread. Unfortunately no solution there either. I only see apps to keep the screen on but not on a per app basis.

Keepscreen was a really great tool. It's app specific so can have it automatically keep the screen on when gmaps is running without having to first launch it / switch it off . Unfortunately the developer appears to have abandoned it as it has not been updated since 2009.

This should really be an option on Gmaps.

I've been using Titanium Backup on my Nexus S for about a year with no hassle at all. I recently bought myself a Galaxy Nexus, but cannot seem to get Titanium Backup to behave. For example, I cannot restore apps, nor freeze them. When I freeze an app TB says "The app has been frozen", but nothing actually happens.

I've uninstalled it (free app and pro key), cleared cache + dalvik and reinstalled it to no avail.

Does it works as advertised for you guys?

I am a fan of the launcher replacement go launcher and used it on my Droid incredible. I tried the ICS stock launcher and just missed the features go launcher provides so I went ahead and installed go launcher.

I have used it for a couple of days now and it seems very choppy and laggy especially when scrolling through screens and opening the app drawer. This seems odd because it ran very smooth on my Droid incredible.

Any ideas as to why a phone with faster hardware would run slower with this app? Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NitrozKC:
Its all to do with HW Rendering dude. ICS and the Galaxy Nexus is dependant on it. Take the stock Twitter app for example, its really choppy. Same with the Facebook app. Google have probably forgotten to turn on HW Rendering for third party apps. But I've heard in Android 4.0.3 it has been fixed so flash the ROM and see how it goes.
