[myTouch 3G Slide General] jluna1:
This morning when I woke up to look at the time on my myTouch Slide I had a pop up saying there was a software update available so of course I downloaded it. After the download and install the phone rebooted and I received another pop up that said "Install complete. Thank you for choosing T-Mobile" does anyone know what the software update was for? I haven't noticed anything different.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarfreak846:
Did you have the beta firmware or do you have the production firmware?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] motorjonny:
slide update

The update was the full release that will be on the phones for sale. Officially it was to improve performance and just the final build. Because it was the official final build you should now see more apps available in the market that are made for 2.1 and above.

FULL FLASH in your browser! That was a nice surprise that nobody mentioned...

nothing else major comes to mind. They may have added some htc sense widgets but Im not sure if I just missed them the first few days I had the phone..
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sexyana:
mine didnt work

i recieved the same message and downloaded it but mine said install not succesfull. any one have any idea how i can get the update again?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] guitarfreak846:
TMO sent me a sdcard with production firmware a few days ago...does this mean I already have the update?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bladerunner0427:
Wait a minute...you've got the MyTouch Slide ahead of release? And it has Flash?! Way to go TMo. I know a bunch of people are underwhelmed by this phone because it's not a Snapdragon, but TMo is targeting this phone for the mainstream. If it runs smooth, I may just snap it up. But I'm curious about "Project Emerald."
[myTouch 3G Slide General] motorjonny:
who needs a snapdragon

My coworker has a Nexus and we run a lot of comparisons between my slide and his (n1). (we both work for Tmo)

-faster downloads according to speedtest.net app on MyTouch Slide

-better screen touch sensitivity on MyTouch Slide

-led camera flashligh apps for MyTouch Slide (only on Nexus if you root)

I personally feel the keyboard is pointless because swype and the android keyboard work so well... I would rather have a thinner phone.. but its still work buying. After a week or so I love the phone.

Camera quality is great! Not every photo will be the best because it is still a phone... but I have taken some really great quality photos.

I do not even see the point in rooting this phone with all the available features.. Froyo (android 2.2) will be available for this phone sometime this year which will add wireless tethering and hot spots..
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ace42:
A rooted phone is always faster than its stock counter-part, a stock G1 is much faster than a stock one...Even if both are on diff firmware.For ex donut roms for it pretty much superior in every way. A rooted MTS will be even faster, esp when various optimizations are applied to the stock ROM. A iPhone is fast but a jailbroken one is just better. Plus a rooted phone will allow you to really make your phone yours.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zippa71385:
nice my MM is keeping my update sd card from me! what size card did they send? 8gb?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] motorjonny:
froyo JIT benchmark

I understand and have seen this hands on.. however.. how about all of the benchmark results with froyo and the new jit component.... they are blowing the doors off of previous roms, stock and modded i assume.. I havent read into this heavily so I hate to be missing something... but this was my point about why bother rooting when froyo should be achieving these peak speeds that were previously only achievable through rooting..

If a dev can beat froyos speeds, while providing full functionality and then some.. then sure I am game.. but perhaps android is finally reaching its full potential and maximizing its hardware.. and all of these developers can start spending their time on making better widgets! (one can dream)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] frozengash:
i love android but i think it's far from reaching it's full potential. it will continue to amaze us and continue to make steve jobs cry inside.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zippa71385:
Come on t-mo will block tethering... we didnt alow it before why would we now because of froyo, come on use your head... I could be wrong but think of it like this...

webconnects 24.99-49.99/monthly

or

tethering FREE

-What do you think a provider will allow?

So root is very necessary every time when you buy a phone from a carrier... its their phone and.... root = your phone!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] motorjonny:
Blackberry and win mo phones ( HD 2) tether with t mobile and are not blocked... A very very low percentage of customers even understand what tethering is... So yes tmo would rather sell web connect... But no they do not currently block the phones they currently sell with tethering... Of course tech support will definitely not help you with it.

I was told by two employees (one was a manager) that the MyTouch Slide would be the first phone that allowed tethering. The phone I looked at had easytether installed on it so that is why I asked.

They may just be saying that because easytether was on the market. Most of the rep's I have talked to have been a little loose on details with me (LIKE THE PRICE!!!).

That won't get froyo 2.2 for a long time. May be even a year

tmobile has even said june 19 expect something big for the slide they wont say what it is but it seems like it will be froyo
[myTouch 3G Slide General] MirasHD2:
I was thinking the same thing, but why would they open their stores at 8AM instead of 10AM for Froyo?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] skinnyveganboy:
WAIT, a tmo employee openly confirming the slide WILL IN FACT be getting froyo? really? anyone else have trouble believing tmo is allowed to release this info?

[myTouch 3G Slide General] khtims:
Not only have the HD2 and Touch Pro 2 able to tether right out of the box so can all blackberry devices. TMobile simply does not support this function but if the user of the phone has the correct information then those phones are already released with that functionality. TMobile tried blocking this function on some past phones but was unsuccessful because of the very smart XDA Devs would simply create a way to do it anyway. I have seen the My Touch Slide tether with the PDANET free app in the marketplace. Worked just as well as my Nexus One with Froyo. And Froyo is expected soon on the My Touch Slide but that is still rumor right now, nothing official except that it will be getting it. Nobody has said exactly when.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] MisterKrispy:
I'm thinking it's Flash Lite on the slide since Flash 10.1 only works with Froyo atm. Can you tell me exactly which LED flashlight app he was using without rooting? All of the non-root ones on the market are either for a MOTO phone or for Froyo.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] simplyTravis:
I think it is actually Flash 10.1 because when I went to Inter-State Publishing's website it checks to see if you have Flash 10 or higher and it put a check beside it. That must mean it is actually 10 because I am pretty sure Lite would not have had a check.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] micahlarson:
The MyTouch Slide will eventually get froyo, but it will probably happen latter this year.

The stores are opening early do to T-Mobile Corp. official launch of the Slide, because affialiate companies are already selling it and Corp. is not publically advertising/promoting it, BUT they will sell it when asked.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bournefusion:
Re the TMobile stores opening early, I don't think the reason you gave is correct. The Slide has a full launch on the 16th of June after the soft launch on June 2nd. From everything I've heard from a couple TMo reps, the stores are opening early on the 19th and they don't think it has to do with the Slide at all. I don't know why they would open early on a Saturday when the full launch for the Slide occurs 3 days earlier.

My theory: Tmo may be getting the N1 in stores then. YMMV.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jriv:
or the isuck
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rebelbanker:
I currently tether my MTS using a licensed version of PDAnet and it works like a charm! I know that the upcoming Garminfone (running 1.6) has a native tethering option in the settings menu, much like the WinMo and BBerry offerings at T-Mo.

I expect them to authorize both the tether and wifi hotspot features. Call me an optimist :)

I'll be mad as a devil if they get n1 or anything with high specs for that matter.I bought this peice of **** mytouch slide and I'm very displeased with it.If they release something better and I don't get froyo or root real soon,I'm taking this phone back and throwing it at someone.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ashykat:
If you hate it, return it. You can still get a nexus one for T-Mo through google for $180 if you're eligible for an upgrade.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Jerzeeloon:
No I'm not elgible to upgrade to nexus one cause I'm on a family plan and I'm not paying $500+ for a phone.but I feel riped off havin paid $180 for the slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ashykat:
That's unfortunate. Hopefully soon enough the N1 will come to T-Mo stores since Google is closing it's webstore for the phone. I'm actually surprisingly happy with the Slide. I've owned a lot of different Android phones, all generations of iPhones, and the HD2, and the Slide really has everything going for it. It may not be as flashy as an Evo but it works for me. What are you so unhappy about with it?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] rebelbanker:
Sounds like you should be over at the T-Mobile official forums instead of in a hack/mod/dev forum.

Quit whining and take the phone back. You'll have plenty of time regret it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theproskater:
Hello. I recently installed Froyo and subsequently the Flash 10.1 beta on my N1. I was really looking forward to watching tv shows on megavideo, but it seems like just about all the videos I try have horrible audio sync problems. Also, there is a weird crackling sound in the audio. The video plays nice and smooth, its just the audio that lags. So, does anyone else have this issue? Any ideas for a fix? I'm thinking it might just be because flash isn't hardware accelerated yet, but most of the other video sites I try work just fine! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
I've had the same problems! Sometimes it lags, and sometimes it doesn't.. I'm actually quite upset with the performance of Flash, sometimes its perfect.. and other times its simply hell. I hope it is perfect when the final is released..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theproskater:
Yep that's been my experience as well. I've been pretty pleased about the game performance (except I wish Plants vs Zombies would work!!), but video has been hit or miss. I hope they fix it when they turn on the hardware acceleration. Being able to watch all the videos of the web on my phone has been a dream of mine for years...

[General Topics] Janddi:
First post. I need help.

If this is the wrong place to post this would you give me an idea where.

When installing applications from "The Market" I am faced with "This application has access to the following:" sometimes it includes all or some of these.

Phone calls

Storage

Your Location

Your messages

Network communication

Your personal information

Services that cost you money

System tools

I can understand why some of these may be necessary, but I am not feeling too secure with some of them. The reason I started thinking like this is, on my last cell phone invoice there were 3 long distance calls to a number in French speaking Quebec, Canada. I live in English speaking Canada. I did a reverse look up , got the name attached to the phone number but the person could not speak English. I cannot speak French. I called my Cel phone Co and explained this. I was informed that it was 100% that the call was made using my Sim card. My cell is never unattended nor would I lend it to anyone.

1. Is it possible that giving access to the above list of conditions would allow someone to use my cell # to make calls.

2. If I don't like some of the conditions I have to tap cancel therefor am unable to download the application.

Could someone explain why a developer or why the market needs access to this information.

3. Is it possible to download applications without giving access to for eg. Phone State, Your personal information

Thank you

I am suddenly growing skeptical of the Android Markets penetration/success. Just noticed the top PAID Android PRODUCTIVITY application and the 3rd or 4th PAID app overall, is one for Jehovah's Witnesses!! Wouldn't you expect a top selling application would have broad market appeal? Nothing against the "serviceTime" or the Jehovah's Witnesses. Just strikes me as odd. OTOH it probably just means Android users are tight with their money :p Doesn't bode well for developers trying to make a quid out of apps though.

[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
I'm curious as to why the tools we use to dump ROMs cannot dump CDMA roms (at least for Diamond/Touch Pro) the same way it dumps GSM ROMs. When you dump a CDMA ROM, nothing gets sorted into EXT packages and it all stays in OEM/. Is there a way to make the available tools dump a CDMA ROM like they do GSM ROMs? These are all shipped roms in question.

Mod Edit: change name to solved
[Windows Mobile] cnzqy1:
Well, old Touch Pro and Diamond ROMs have all files in OEM*** directories, there are no PACKAGE_*** directories. It's designed to be like this. And you can only sort them manually, no matter what tool you are using.
[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
OK, thanks. I guess HTC was being lazy or something. At least dumpsorter/prekitchen helps some.
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
it doesnt matters you can transform them into ext with the new Airxtreme tool the unbelievable super duper amazing extraordinary dump sorter or something like that :p check it is a new thread here ;)

change to solved
[Windows Mobile] Psyki:
Because most older shipped CDMA TouchPro and Diamond roms did not have the dsm or rgu files. No dsm = no PACKAGE_ folder. Basically they were "protected" roms.
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
How would the tool break up all the files from OEMApps (as they are in the roms mentioned by the OP) to separate EXT packages without .dsm and .rgu files?
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
You must to know things that experienced chef do cause you are ;) ... i mean converting mannually OEM PKGS to EXT ;) but please... OEMAPPS? come on... leave it as is ;) why you want them as an EXT, many things from it are duplicated in XT pkgs like camera files and soem other **** like MMS files... the fact we need to do with our "PRINCIPAL OEM FOLDERS" is... clean them. :D

Regards
[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
What he is saying is that the files normally segregated into packages (manila, etc.) are just dumped in OEMAPPS, etc. I basically solved it by just dumping a GSM Diamond ROM and using DumpSorter to build packages (well, minus any app.reg/.dat's) from my dump CDMA Victor ROM. I was still left with all of the carrier customized stuff, but that was easier to sort out manually once the main packages were sorted.
[Windows Mobile] indagroove:
You obviously don't understand the issue here. The OP is trying to dump an older CDMA ROM, which doesn't have packages like most newer CDMA and virtually all GSM ROMs. The OP was asking why they wern't dumped into packages, and as cnzqy1 pointed out, they were never built with individual packages. All the application files, including ezInput, Manila, Opera, Album, etc are in OEMApps. However, you've stated that it doesn't matter, because of some super duper tool that will sort the packages for you. Unfortunately your theory is flawed, as there are not the appropriate .dsm files to go along with the ezInput, Manila, Opera, and Album files to properly package them, no matter what tool you use. The only real possible option would be to import all the .dsm and .rgu files from a gsm dump into the cdma dump, and then use some type of dump sorter, and hope that the .rgu were close enough to work. The simple fact however, is in this case, it really won't work as you've suggested. Take it from someone who has built many custom roms in days past from just this type of dump.
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
Oh I understand now what you all saying ;) thanks for clarify the point
[Legend General] maxonite:
Hi All,

I am trying to figure out if this is a bug on my phone or working as designed. When I type an email in gmail, or the HTC mail app or an SMS in native or handcent I always get the HTC keyboard which predicatively corrects my text entry as i type.

When I use the built in browser to browse the web I do not get the same predictive correction and it accepts whatever key my finger touches. This also happens in the URL bar, Google search page, any web page, or the box that appears when you press the search button in the bottom right.

Is this working as designed? how can i get it to correct my entry when i am typing something into google to do a search? :confused:

Thanks
[Legend General] noobdeagle:
this is the normal behavior,
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
If you want prediction and correction in search and browser you could give the HTC_IME mod by Jonasl a try.

It's the stock htc keyboard with some really cool mods like gestures ,prediction wherever you like and MUCH more.

I use it myself and I would recommend it. It even fixes quite some bugs from the HTC stock keyboard.

Check:

BTW: You need the low res version for the HTC Legend.
[Legend General] maxonite:
Ok, Good to know it is the stock behavior and not just me. I must say I find it a little strange though as the prediction is a great part of HTC SenseUI and to not include it in the browser is odd.

I have installed the mod as suggested. It is just what I was looking for. Thanks.

Since there is no wheel selector on the sdk, I've developed one to set the number of minutes wanted. With three clicks, you can launch a timer to remaind you that your pastas or your eggs are ready !

Your comments are welcome !

Since I'm new on the forum, I'm currently not allowed to post external links, so if you want to try it, search for Tick! on the market or SlideMe. I will put images, links and QR-Code as soon as i will be allowed !
