I am nearing 2 years on mine and I love it still. I've always had a case on it, I've always had a screen protector and it's going strong.

I recently got a class 10 16gb card from Amazon for under 20, amazon brand, and it has made a world of difference. I can actually run data from sd on the sense roms that are just too big.

I am coming up on contract renewal in April, but I plan on handing down my slide to my smart phone allergic wife.

I honestly have not seen a phone that I must have so I am not sure what I'll be getting if I'll be getting anything.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] aaldiar:
Seems sense is not kind to this phone, back to CM7 latest daily. I have my phone setup with 140 /system and 80 /cache. I delete a good bit from my roms though to slim them down. Don't use live wallpapers, YouTube app and a number of other things. I also add my own icons and audio files for ringtones and such.

Edit: seems with darktrmors app2sd I should be using at least /150 partition to allow for elastic space needs.

Edit 2: I have 1 gig set aside for darktremors app2sd with no swap.

I've had my MT3GS since the beginning of August 2010 and it's one of the best phones I've ever seen ( and I've seen a lot lol) Haven't had any hardware issues with it, dropped several times on concrete/asphalt and the screen didn't crack but I broke 4 hard cases because of that ;) , just some dent on the side and that's it. Modern phones like Sensation and Galaxy S2 are powerful but huge and I like the size of my phone. I'm still going to use it, the only phone that might be better for me is probably MT4GS lol.

Another thing that I like about MT3GS/4GS is that the phones aren't very popular and that makes them unique. And over here in Europe it's very very unique. Iphone users are so jealous, especially when I slide out the keyboard lol))
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Marshmallovv:
Yes I love its rarity! People always stare or usually ask what kind of phone is that? Be jealous :) I like having things other people don't :p makes them that much better! Haha. And I can only imagine in europe haha

I've had mine 1 year and 3 months now. I love it and it still works great. I flash it every few months or so. Messed up a flash once and couldn't boot into recovery due to broken volume buttton, but ordered a new ribbon from China for about a tenner. I agree with other posters about how new phones seem to be built for people with huge hands. I still prefer the physical keyboard. Wonder if T-mobile will come out with a mytouch 5 slide.

Mine

My mytouch 3g slide has been through the woodwork. It's been roughed up so much, but it truly proved it's durability. Heck, the screen's broken but somehow the touchscreen still works. Perfectly.:p
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ninobrown1:
Just paint chipping on the battery cover and the silver part to the camera came off. Everything is working fine though
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Hitorijanae:
I'll be upgrading to the myTouch 4G Slide soon, but that's not until may.:D
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kwabinalars:
Almost 2 Years

My wife and I both got one of these back in May 2010. For the most part we've both liked what we have. The wife loves the keyboard.

Space was an issue until I rooted them. Seem fine now.

My only complaint is that some apps run slow. Not loading, but running. Not a huge deal I suppose but it happens often enough that I'm about ready to get a tablet with a huge processor to run those apps.

The wife's phone recently swapped red for blue. Can't figure out exactly why this happened. It was around a month after I installed CM7 on it and I don't exactly think that it's software. If I can fix it I think she would love to just keep it but if I can't may have to get a new phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ziida:
I recently upgraded to the 4G slide, but still miss this phone some times. IMO it feels better in the hand and has a nice clickity clack keyboard. This phone is deceptively powerful, too!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ljjj:
My wife and I have had ours for 20 months.

It has survived well, was running CM7 but trying Espresso Sense (SS21)v2 for now. She's itching for a new phone, though.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] DocHoliday77:
It Takes a Lickin' & Keeps on Tickin'!

I have loved my 'Little Engine that Could' since I got it a week or two after its release. I think the thing I am most impressed with is its durability. I have dropped this thing countless times....check SIM, reinsert battery, reattach back plate...good to go! I can't even begin to count the scratches, gashes and chipped paint all over the back and edges. But surprisingly, the touchscreen is as good as day one! Not one scratch or blemish and functions perfectly, and I haven't even had a screen protector on it in quite some time. Most Impressive!

On the down side though, I have been running into a few issues recently. (Yes it may have something to do with my clumsiness with the thing) The drops may finally be taking their toll. Orrrr, it could be something else. The battery is definitely starting to go, gonna re-calibrate it to see if that helps though. The main issues (I suspect) are related to the internal memory beginning to fail. Though in spite of the little hiccups I am experiencing, it still manages to perform everything I ask of it. All in all, for my first Android, I have been quite pleased and would buy it again in a heartbeat!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] WhoWhere:
I purchased my slide on release date. Though I wish I had bought the Vibrant it’s been a very sturdy phone. With the development we have on this board it’s kept the phone going and luckily it hasn’t given me any hardware problems what so ever *Knock on wood* other than the issue that some of the first run phones had where the screen was out of place and the light leak.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ovar:
I just got a Vibrant for my wife and while the thing is super speedy I feel our CM7 is more stable, less buggy. They have some major GPS issues over there as well as some issues with tunnel voice sound during calls.

Very happy with where our device ended up.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kellyann1293:
Ive had mine since they first came out (2yrs now?) and it still works great. Very durable... it has been dropped countless times on pavement and has only a few faint scratches. Limited app space is my one big annoyance, but it's not so bad that I've taken the time to root or install custom roms, etc.

Been thinking about the new mytouch 4g slide, but honestly the 3g slide is meeting my needs just fine, and I have a new galaxy tab plus that I use for most everything else anyway.

I do wish i could find an extended battery for the slide. If Im going to be out and about for a while I have to take my NewTrent battery pack, since texting, emailing and fb'ing really drain the stock battery fast. I have replaced the stock battery when the old one started to die, but I cant get more than a few hours of heavy data usage before I need a recharge.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Nightwolf117:
I've had mine for about two months now, and I loved (hint the "ed") becuase it is an amazing phone, but the camera flash stopped working and now I'm sad :(
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kellyann1293:
Ugh, that sucks... I use the flash all the time as a flashlight. Id be lost without it!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Nightwolf117:
I know :(
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kellyann1293:
So not cool... I drowned my MT3G slide today! :mad: Fell right in the sink. Got a MyTouch 4G Slide to replace it, which seems like a pretty sweet device so far. Just need to keep it out of the sink!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Nightwolf117:
y u no look after 3g slide :( :( :(
[myTouch 3G Slide General] DocHoliday77:
It's probably too late to try now, but you never know and for future reference, I thought I'd share this for those that do not already know....

The sooner you do this, the better your chances for saving your phone!

If your phone gets wet:

PULL THE BATTERY! As quickly as possible!

Dry phone as best you can, without shaking, turning over too much.

Remove SIM and SD Card. (Pat then air dry)

Use a vacuum cleaner and set up everything where it can pull air through the phone, preferably where the water entered. (It could take a while, but at least 20-30 min on each section of the phone where water could have entered)

Never use a hair dryer due to moisture + heat can damage components and compromise adhesives. Also, I have heard that it is best to use a vacuum to suck air through, rather than something to blow air in so you do not push moisture deeper into the phone.

Bury your phone in a bowl of dry rice overnight. (Silica packets that come packaged with electronics and other products can work even better than rice, but only if they have not already absorbed their max amount of moisture, which I have read that many have.)

Carefully inspect phone for any leftover moisture. It may help to use vacuum again both for moisture and any rice dust.

When trying to power on phone for first time, leave SIM and SD card out. If phone does not power on, try removing battery and plug into charger. If it comes on plugged in with no battery, the battery is likely bad.

I have also heard of people flushing their phone with cleaning alcohol to displace the water and let the alcohol evaporate, but I have also heard that this is a bad idea. So I would play it safe and NOT try this method.

Another tip, and a somewhat surprising one: If your phone gets SALT water inside, after removing the battery, SIM and SD card, flush the phone with FRESH water! This sounds like it would be a very bad idea, however, when salt water evaporates, it leaves corrosive crystals behind which can cause even more damage to the internal components. Flushing it with fresh clean water may reduce the chances of this happening.

There is NO GUARANTEE that any of this will work for your drowned phone, but then, if it comes to this, what do you have left to lose? I have been fortunate enough to not have had to use any of these tips, so I cannot speak from personal experience that any of them will work any better than just letting it air dry for a couple of days. Some methods are also risky and could potentially do more harm than good, so it is entirely up to you if you even want to try them.

I just think it is better to try something than nothing, and hopefully this will save someone the trouble and cost of being forced to buy a new phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kellyann1293:
It's been in the rice/rock salt container since yesterday. Hopefully it will work again once it's dried out, so we can have a decent spare phone. We can't seem to keep our gizmos out of the drink, so I actually have a dedicated dessicator container for such emergencies. Just an old Pyrex baking dish with airtight plastic lid... I 'dry out' the rice/salt periodically by placing the open container in a 200F oven for a couple of hours. I have about a 75% success rate with phone revival:D
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bearcat668:
Holding up great

Got mine soon after it was released and it's still in pristine shape. Which is kinda too bad, since I have gadget lust for some of the new toys coming out. But, I really do like the keyboard..... I just hope T-Mobile keeps some keyboard models.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] superatrain:
Bought mine used off ebay Nov 10.

It's in surprisingly great condition. A bit of missing paint, and one decent sized scratch on the front. I don't use a case, and I've dropped my phone many times. I once got my headphone cables caught in a turnstile, launched my phone across the room, survived without even a scratch! Overall, I'm very impressed with this phone.

My camera focus died about a year ago though.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] omejia466:
I had the black my touch. I bought it about year and half ago. I unfortunately it died around April. Screen cable issues that could only be fixed by buying a new screen... Decided against it. I loved the slide thou. First smartphone I bought out of my own personal funds (I was 15 and jobless) so it was kinda a big deal for me haha.. Love the slide.. Upgraded the GS3 two weeks ago..... I miss the physical keyboard....

when i got it it wasnt to bad beisdes the same peice wasnt on it, the back wont go on and the little emblem is gone but rooted with cm7 its running pretty good and its a little hard to slide but its all good
[myTouch 3G Slide General] racerty1:
had this mt3gs black one for almost 2 years now. its not an everyday phone anymore since its my girlfriends old phone (she now has a root, suite boot Optimus s running CM9, and i have the evo 3d running ZR3d 4.3GT). so the phone hasnt been used as much as most people by now.

Until today the phone has been completely stock and had the latest OTA update (2.2.1 which made the hboot go to the 1.05)

BUT i just not two hours ago, got clockwork recovery 2.5.0.7 running on it and am not S-off'd

my hboot shows UNLOCKED S-ON 1.05

AND am now proudly running CM7.1 with no problems!!!

phone ruuns great!

[myTouch 3G Slide General] texaslittleangel:
Mine had been working great for the past two years until a couple of weeks ago. It has started to go a little Koo Koo on me. It turns off and on, on its own, wifi works all the time except when i am traveling, when it turns off it sets the date back to Jan 8, 1980, it also sets the keyboard back to android instead of swype.

I've been wanting to get my hands on the new gs3 but no job means no $$ for such luxury =(
[myTouch 3G Slide General] calvinpn:
My unit has recently been replaced by a Gnex, but I still went out of my way to replace certain parts in it to keep it as a backup phone (and to play around with flashing different ROMs). So far, it's just my Google Voice phone over wifi, works like a charm!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magus57:
I've looked all over and found a wide mix of answers regarding this, so I thought I'd make a topic and just ask flat-out instead of thinking I know the answer.

Simple question - is there any version of the GT7 that allows both 3G and voice/text at the same time? I've seen mention of modem switchers that allow either voice+2G or just 3G, but nothing concrete for voice+3G on T-Mobile USA. Is there even a version of the tablet (other than the official T-Mobile one) that would get 3G on T-Mobile? All of the recent international Galaxy Tabs I've seen tend to favor AT&T US bands...

And I'm asking the question because I'm trying to find a tablet that would allow both voice and 3G on T-Mobile USA, and the HTC Flyer 3G is the only option I know will work for sure (I've read it may be possible with the T-Mobile Springboard / Huawei Mediapad, but I can't find anything concrete on it).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BobbyDank:
So I was able to install CM7 on my nook tablet (love it btw) without any problems. It runs great but I have a small user question.

The bottom bar that allows navigation and options in apps. The bar with the menu, back, search buttons that had to be coded into the rom. There is an option when playing a game or inside another app that will allow you to minimize this menu. Is there a way to get it to come back while still in the app?

Sorry if this is a repeat question, but I have no idea what the technical term for this bar is, so I didn't know what to search for.

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Settings -> cyanogenmod settings -> tablet tweaks -> choose unhide button

I have it set to home (the n button) so that hitting it once brings the menu back and hitting it again brings me home.

Thank you! Exactly the info I needed!

Hello Everyone ,I am a newbie to HTC desire I have a very big problem that concerns the camera and the camcorder apps..When i try to use the camera the only thing i get is a blank black screen no zoom no controls..I have tried every single update/fix that i could find around here : Kernel,Radio,Hboot,Rom Updates with not results .I hope that i could get some help from you experts

This would be a pain but if you have tried all other roms then flash the official GB rom from HTC. That would be the most stable one with all the stuff working. If your camera isn't working still, then the hardware may be faulty.

I had the same problem and it drove me mad for weeks! There's instructions on how to fix it at the bottom of my thread :)

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

Here's what to do.... just BE CAREFULL

Take the battery cover off and have a look at the camera lense, you will see that there is a small , square piece of glass sitting on a slightly larger metal square frame. You need to GENTLY ease that metal frame away from the phone. On my handset the frame is joined at the top right corner, I used this join to hook the corner of my thumb nail under and lift it up by a FRACTION OF A MILIMETER MAX!

A good way to see if this is working is to start by pressing the camera icon untill it blacks out the screen, if you get somebody to watch the screen, or use a mirror, you will see the screen come back to life showing you all the on screen camera options and the image of what ever the camera is looking at as you GENTLY and ONLY SLIGHTLY pry the frame away from the phone.

It took me a night of fiddling with it using this method and so far I've been able to use my camera without faults..... Good job really as for now this has saved me a trip to the HTC service center, with no warranty

Before you try this though you MUST be incredibly carefull whilst moving this frame that holds the lense. You must NOT attempt to do this by touching the lense itself (small square shapped piece of glass) as this will more than likely break it, then its off to HTC which will cost a fortune if like me you've allready voided your warranty so BE CAREFULL!!

Hope this helps
