[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Are you s-on? And its giving a wifi error? If so fastboot the kernel so modules match up.

*ONCE AGAIN*

Posts like this is broken are USELESS to anyone. What do you think will get fixed? NOTHING because this is a user created bug, I'm on alpha 5 and have been using wifi ONLY and its been flawless.

Not receiving texts

Hi,

I'm able to send text messages but not receive them, any ideas?

Thanks

EDIT

rebooted and now receiving. Still wonder why it happened. I have GO SMS installed, does anyone have experience with it on this ROM?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nosuchfile:
It seems that the touch screen sensitivity is improved. Used to require firm touches, now seems to respond to a lighter touch. ++++

Specifically, the dialer number pad. Have not extensively tested in other apps, but I did notice the improvement in dialer.

THANKS!

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] okeeblow:
All seems well with alpha 5 for me :)

I think the new boot animation/mascot is a little too "xtreme" and silly, so here's how to restore the old skateboarding Android:

Download the old skateboarding Android bootanimation.zip (MD5 98de4d6dcfa74850145eb69e977aaf22, from alpha 4) and stick it on your SD card. Get root in android terminal or adb shell, remount /system read&write, and copy the animation.

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Other wise kick ass rom great job guys

and running alpha 5 cant get my Signature to change did full wipe and flashed alpha 5
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] seansc144:
When you say the newest over the air update with radio fixes are you referring to alpha 5. If not someone clue me on where to attain it plz. As far as alpha 5 its driving smooth for me so far.:thumbup: my data has been working since yesterday and I haven't had any problems so far on alpha 5.( wiped cache and d. Cache by the way.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I think the newer radios are the one's that mess up Wifi. Most users who report issues are newer ones, S-On(U). Older users from when S-OFF was possible(The easy way). Have no Wifi Issues.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
That's exactly right if you wanted to be totally backwards.

Everyone with radio issues seems to be S-OFF.

The wifi issues were fixed in this release (so far) and happened irregardless of S/status.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] aawillma:
Also wrong. I am S-ON and when I flashed one of the nightlies my wifi issue went away but the radio issues began. My phone would only connect to 1G, no data transfer at all (EDGE, 3G, H). The 3G icon would flash and then disappear, never connecting. I flashed an old working version without wiping data and the issue persisted. I flashed Alpha 5 on top of the broken one with just cache and dalvik wipe, the issue persisted.

The only thing that fixed it was doing a FULL WIPE. I did not need to reflash the boot.img via fastboot because at this point I was fairly confident the error wasn't there. The data connectivity error appears to be in the data partition because only wiping that will fix it. As of now, with a fresh install of Alpha 5 on board, wifi and radio problems appear to have been fixed.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
Nightlies are a whole different kettle of fish. I was strictly referring to alphas, as thats what the thread is about.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] aawillma:
OK fine.

I am S-ON and Alpha 4 broke my data connection.

I flashed Alpha 5 without wiping data and the radio was still broken.

Moral of the story, don't be a jerk and wipe before flashing.

It's a personal account of a very specific problem. If someone has this problem, maybe they can see how it happened to me and what fixed it and use that knowledge. If you have never had this problem then it's probably best not to comment about it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] silverton:
just a thought on getting the keyboard alt/shift and backlight to work properly.. check out whatever virtuous did with their quattro rom I believe it was. I know it works on that rom. perhaps it was inquisition. they only have two roms for the MT4GS and i know i did not flash primadonna.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wiswis:
how do i update the drivers
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
You didn't say that alpha 4 broke your data, you just mentioned nightlies.

If people don't comment, and don't compare and contrast, then root causes and solutions are harder to figure out. Just sayin...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] seansc144:
For the record I'm s off. When the dropping of the data initially occurred I tried a total wipe including the data and the problem persisted. Mind you while using cm7 or one of t baldens roms this problem went away. I haven't had a problem with my wifi thus far. It returned (data working) on its own. I don't know if its the kernel or what. But it(the data drop) isn't the network, being s on or off, or toggling of any sort. And again as far as alpha 5 its worked error free so far. This is a problem not a complaint, if we can narrow the source of this problem and resolve it as well ..fantastic . Ty for the hard work.

Does anyone know if Blue's zip to change the menu etc keys on keyboard to arrow keys works ok with this ROM?

Is there any hope of being able to go directly to camera from sleep by holding down shutter button?

Is there an effort to have the trackpad also also put the phone back to sleep? (that has always been one of my favorite things with this phone - trackpad wake, seeing the screen, then pressing it again to turn the screen back off).
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
I noticed this in previous alphas... it's not a functional flaw but a quirky UI oddity. It persists with Alpha5.

I have 11 Widgets in my Notification bar - scrollable.

For the majority of my user experience the system will show me 6 at a time (until I scroll for the further 5 widgets.)

However sometimes it will show me 4 at a time - hence the padding/spacing between the widget icons increases for some weird reason.

Again functionality remains true - this is just a UI thing. Thought I'd point it out. I like to pinpoint the less obvious :D

Images to illustrate...

Correct format:

Quirky Temporary format:

Something for teamDS to acknowledge, but again there's no real problem.

I can confirm the UI acting stoopid. When I go Landscape, to Portrait it sizes for Landscape. It's been so bad that I've gotten a System UI crash. I have 7 power Widgets. Wifi/GPS/Data/Light/Prev/Play/Next. The UI crash might be a isolated incident. I don't wanna cause a bug.

I'm also having issues with Wifi after deep sleep. It Greys out. I have to turn it on, then off. Then it works again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
Look at the top left hand corner of the phones KB. Right above "@" there is CAPS, and ALT. Those don't light up. I forgot our phone even had that. My case covers it up.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
I had both wifi and data grey out. However, when they did it in my case, the rx/tx arrows were still active, and data continued to flow. They eventually went back to blue on their own.

When it happened to you was data totally down?

Following from my previous post - below illustrates my 1st run with cm9 alpha5 with a full wipe install & a fully charged Anker 1900mAh.

Over 1 day with 15% remaining.

Everything is butter smooth.

Thanks again teamDS.

I was previously just flashing alpha over alpha without any form of wipe. This time I felt to start from scratch, which has provided for a much smoother user experience.

(After writing this post, taking screenshots etc, my battery has dropped to 5% - still over 1 day with fair usage. I cannot be happier.)

CM9 a5
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hapa8o8:
taking into account that your phone was on standby for 21hrs of the 24 hours... you used your phone for 2hrs total in that day and you also had wifi (uses less battery than 4G)

Sounds good~ I will see how my new batteries push it out ;)

5hrs it went down to 75% just popped in a fresh one, gonna see how it does tomorrow when I use it vigorously throughout the day :victory:

Did a complete wipe before flashing this ROM and everything works the way it's supposed to.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I had this issue. Ignore what anybody tells you. You need to be on a 100% stock rom. Not bulletproof, but a legit stock rom. It can be rooted. How do I know? I had this issue a while ago. Also, you need the AT&T APN settings. Those can be found in blues bulletproof thread.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] txmtb:
AgentCherryColla nailed it. I didn't have the stock ROM so I used MikTouch and it worked. With CM9 it just kept asking for the unlock code and it would never stick. Flashed MikTouch and it took the unlock code the first time.

Guess I should add, I flashed CM9 after the unlock and it didn't have any issues.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
OK.. so... wiped everything + flashed CM9 Alpha 5 + entered SIM unlock code, still no dice... when i go to "Network Operators" it says "Error while searching for networks", and there is nothing in APNs settings...

Same issue on Virtuous Inquisition... Going to try a stock ROM.

So, after you flashed MikTouch, you flash CM9 and it still works with AT&T SIM?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] hapa8o8:
Did you S-off your device?:confused:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] txmtb:
Yep. I had CM9 on there and was changing to AT&T. But it wouldn't take my unlock code like you said. I saw that MikTouch was "stock based" so I flashed it. Put in the AT&T SIM, entered the unlock code. Checked to make sure it was working, and then flashed back to CM9, Alpha 3 I think, and it has worked since then. I did complete wipes between flashing the ROM's back and forth. BTW, mine is working fine but I still get the "Error searching for networks" on mine if I do a manual search. I just have it set to "Select automatically" and haven't had any issues.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:

@ teamDS

Do you guys think you will get a chance to work on the TVout feature. It's awesome we have it functioning to some degree ;)

It would be amazing if TVout can work as well as on stock rom. The lag/refresh cycle in the current TVout app is not really usable for gaming I find. And videos - youtube atleast doesn't render on the TV at all for me.

Hope you can work some magic on this.

Tbh this is one of the only key features I think we need to refine, because everything else runs so well.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Add to that the fact that we now have a few ways to unlock the bootloader, at least two ways to off the S-, and now at least two mainstream devs who have the doubleshot (at least one of whom does not use it for a primary device, making it less risky to do risky experimental stuff with it)... plus, after reportedly EOLing the device about a year ago, T-Mobile is also reportedly still selling it at or near its original price (indicating the demand is strong enough to support such pricing)(of course I read that somewhere but haven't checked for myself). I am confident that this device will see jellybean and maybe even whatever the K-android will be (especially if we can all support the devs in some way).

You were saying....

I just woke up & to my pleasant surprise I saw this (I might add, wifi & sync were on too.). :D

This is currently illustrating my third cycle of CM9-A5.

This 3rd cycle could be epic :thumbup:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Yeah that's what mine should have looked like, but if you find my screen shot, you will see 20% battery loss, and virtually no usage......that was using my anker 1900. Battery has gotten better but no where near yours. Also if you see my screenie I was on wifi the whole time as well.

*edit*

Kotedia?

This here is actually good usage, for some reason the big jump was when I hit recovery and did a nand back to cm9. I was on MikTouch so I could have the camera for my little ones birthday, as soon as it was over I did a nand and this is how it looks.

I don't have my cord charger with me only my Anker charge box so I'm 100% sure it was never plugged back in. And some light usage after the restore so I dunno, this phone confuses me
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Mine lost like 55% over about 7 hours last night. Come to find out, 100% of that loss was attributed to Cell Standby. Sure enough, I had no signal. The phone was also set for 2G only, which I never do. I was playing with settings earlier in the day, but I was sure I had set it back to 3G only via the notification bar.

I also experienced something I think I read a few pages (50 posts per page) back...

I had no signal, and was unable to get signal back. I tried unchecking the "2G Only" setting, but it wouldn't stick. I tried using the quick setting in the notebar, but that didn't change. I could not get it off of "2G Only" with no signal. I was afraid I would have to reflash another ROM like I saw a few other people post about. Then I got to thinking. If the phone doesn't have the SIM, it might not select *any* network mode, and "reset" what it's looking for. Turned out, whether or not I was right about how it works, I was right about the end result: I got signal back without flashing another ROM.

Power down the phone, pull the battery and SIM. Replace battery, power up phone without SIM. Uncheck 2G Only, power down phone. Remove battery, replace SIM and battery. Power up, and lo and behold 2G/3G mode with signal.

I'm pretty sure I have 2G network available where I am. So I'm not sure if it's because I lost signal on 2G-only mode or if it's because of a bug or a combination. I looked in my lolcat and saw absolutely nothing indicating a bug or other software issue.

I do wish, however, that instead of a checkbox to force "2G Only", we had a drop-down to select any of the multiple modes because the quick settings in the notification bar don't always work like we want (this was just such a case). Might help to force e.g. "3G-only" so the phone hardware doesn't even consider searching for nonexistent 2G.

EDIT: Just did it again. So apparently, going to 2G when you have no 2G signal can cause this to happen and it won't come out. I wonder if simply going to airplane mode would be an easier way to switch modes and then regain signal...

I have another question... When I'm charging the phone and I turn it off, it will not turn back on until either it's fully charged or I remove it from the charger. Anyone else notice this?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dillalade:
Oops, fk knows how that got there - was adding a contact of that name. Disregard!

I have no such 2g/3g down time issues.

As for forcing 2g or 3g or a mixture.

Perhaps tweak your data widget options (see screenshot), to do exactly what you've asked for.

My usage with the notification widget is 100% functional.

Again , I have no data problems. I switch between 2g & 2g/3g combo at will without loss of signal/data.
