I've had 6.1.1 flashed for some time now and previously flashed 6.1, it works great and I can say its ALMOST perfect. The problem is all of the contacts that are on my SIM card will not show up, in the Contacts app I try to import my contacts but it says "No contacts on your SIM card". I know for sure they are there, when I flash back to CRmod they show up again. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so have you found any fixes/workarounds?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] clowery4384:
Thanks so much swype was one of the things I was missing when I rooted and rommed my phone. Glad they put out a beta
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] clowery4384:
Yeah i had this problem also
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
this sucks, what I would do is flash a different rom, load the contacts from your sim, then sync those with your gmail acct, then go back to this rom, and sync contacts.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] K2sInteg98:
I have noticed that when I send picture messages, it often will just say sending and take forever to send even when I have full signal. Maybe a couple hours later will it go through or the next day. I have switched from 3g to 2g and it still does not send right away like it used to. When i reboot the phone, it will still stay there sending. I did a wipe then flashed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Shaquiel Harris:
why don't you guys just backup your contacts to gmail? its alot easier having them there then on the simcard anyways.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ikkon:
can anyone help me with this..

5 out of 6 roms i flashed seems to have a problem syncing with google through wifi

except for the ESPRIMG.zip and yes i've been searching this forum to no avail..

I dont have a data plan and nor currently living in good ol' U.S.A. <--can these be the cause of the problem?

This is really stressing me out!!

and thank you for reading...

I have *never* been able to get an initial Google Account synchronized via CM6 without having 3G data coverage. EDGE or Wifi access do not seem to do the trick. You could *try* to put the phone into airplane mode, then enable the wifi and see if it works. But I'm fairly certain I tried that with no success.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
Actually putting it in Airplane & using wifi works, I do it with the slide since i use my sim in a different phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] migueltherocker:
If you don't have a sim in your phone, the problem does not occur.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ikkon:
I did all those, with sim..without sim..airplade mode with sim and no sim, flashed with sim, flashed with no sim..and still a no go. I will try to edit some lines in build.prop and hopefully, i'll get this thing to sync. Thank you for the help!

Hi everyone,

I was really excite when I find out. T Mobile MyTouch 3G Slide be able to install 2.2 version of Android OS. After, spending 1.5 day figured out how to install it. I was so happy when I saw my 2.2 screen on my Touch 3G Slide and then I couldn't find any Market app and my browser keep crashing. Well, now I have to go back to my Tmobile's official software release 2.1 :(

So sad, so sad :((

Guess what I have to wait now.

But thanks to the author for hill all hard work and all his efforts. Still thumbs up.

Peace
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Jasper_Ward:
if you followed the instructions and also flashed the GApps, that wouldnt be an issue :-)

Thanks in advance

If you know how to reflash old ROM help me please.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Taylortron3030:
You might as well spend the time learning how to install CM 6.1.1 properly rather than waste your time going back to 2.1.

Since you don't know what you are doing, it will likely take so long to get 2.1 back properly (if you did not do a backup) that your time would be better spent finishing what you started. Froyo 2.2 works fine on my myTouch Slide, and I think that with some more research about it, you should be able to have a similar result. Just my opinion, good luck.

*Oh, and I wouldn't count on anyone wanting to take the time to hold your hand through the whole process. You will need to just read through the forums to learn about what to do.... that is what a lot of us had to do.

MyTouch Slide was also a hassle to root. Depending on what your computer OS is and what version, it would be harder or simple. Took me forever just to get lucky, to root it.

For that, I don't plan to go back to official stock. I wouldn't say it's hard to brick your phone, because it's easy. But it's also just as easy to not brick it and make it fully functional with a handy backup of it all.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] joshuasvt:
Is there a way to link my TMO account back to my slide while running CM 6.1.1? I kind if like being able to charge apps to my TMO bill, ect...

And also how can I set up a contact card for myself?

Thanks guys
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JeezyMT3G:
The only thing that happenned to me was when I imported the contacts from sim card and I'd click contacts none of them showed up and I'd go to txt some one and start typing in their name the number popped up as if it was in contacts but nothing was under contacts in the contacts tab
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] T3hFurious1:
That hasn't worked, I also can't reboot into recovery to flash a backup.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
What's wrong with getting into recovery? I had an error of it not recognizing my update.zip file but (to my surprise) when I connected my usb when in stock recovery even with the updated hboot it showed as "recovery" so I pushed the update.zip to the sdcard and loaded it no problem. Maybe you should try that.

I'm using Cyanoginger at the moment and went to the Market to try to buy something and I had the option of my credit card or my TMO account.

I know that's not helpful, but it seems odd that that would happen for you.

I don't know if they're connected at all, but have you tried seeing if the "My Account" app works? Or maybe even the Google Checkout, like if you go through your Google Account on an internet browser... Although I think that one would be even more disconnected... :/

Did you remember to install gapps?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] supermario12312:
Er, I don't get the issue with the recovery, but as for the problem with the "Touch the Android" thing, I had that too. You gotta flash your gapps BEFORE you reboot. It feels weird, but that's what you're supposed to do.

As for the recovery... maybe a fresh ESPRIMG.zip is worthwhile? Or getting back another update.zip thingie from when you rooted? Cuz you gotta have those in the SD card to get into Clockwork or whatever else you gots.

And while I'm on the subject, can't you restore backups with ROM Manager? Or is that having issues too? Well, that would make sense if ROM Manager dosnt work... if you can't get into Clockwork... lemme know if that works out for you.

EDIT: Try reflashing Clockwork from ROM Manager, if it still doesn't work.

And to the people having issues with the bill to my T-mobile account, just flash the new market. That's what I did. I wrote a rather long post about back a few pages, should be around page 118 or so on how to correctly set that up.

Patience is the key, people. Patience... its the blue key in Doom that leads to the room with the BFG and like 200 armor.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ad505:
My slide is great except for the camera, which seems to have lost some quality once I installed cm6.1.1. Is it possible to get the sense camera back somehow?

Also, is there a wifi calling hack for the slide?

Bout to smash this silly phone...

Let me start with my confession - I'm a noob. Prior to this 3g Slide (which was a gift) my phone had a monochrome screen and I never had a data plan. I still don't have a data plan but have enjoyed the phone via wifi. Guess where my problem is...

So I get the slide & it seems great. but I HATE the bloatware. I'm not computer illiterate so I do the research & figure out how to root & it sounds like Cyanogen is the way to go.

So last night I rooted (after spending 2 hours trying to get the SDK installed and working...) dropped back to the ENG rom and got clockwork installed. Then upgraded the radio to the second zip. Then I flashed 6.1.1. Everything seemed to be just fine. Wifi worked great. At some point however, while trying to PM UNINSTALL facebook from the Terminal Emulator on the phone (which I never accomplished :mad:) wifi signal was lost.

Now it just cycles through trying to get an IP address and always fails.

I wiped and dropped back down to the 6.1.0 rom in hopes that WIFI would be operable there. No such luck. I tried going back to the ENG rom. zilch. That's the one that worried me. I figured that ENG should work even if 6.1.x wasn't going to happen for me.

So now I'm stuck with a dumb smart phone since I don't have a data plan. Any suggestions or help would be incredibly appreciated. I've looked all over but can't really find anything recent that applies. This isn't the logged issue with marketplace not working well, this is wifi period. It just won't connect.

If I need to post a log or some part of one please link me to some directions.

Again thanks for any help.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] FuzeItUp:
Having an issue and can't find anything about it. Whenever I power off or reboot my phone, a few things that I've changed revert back. Swype is gone and I have to reinstall it, live wallpaper always goes back to the nexus style (normal wallpaper stays as it was for some reason), my advanced task killer does not start back up, and the nice Battstatt and Tajm widgets do not work, which I then have to uninstall and reinstall because they do not show up in the widget list.

Anyone else having these problems?

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lips2286:
Check out the topic regarding your issue in the q and a section for the slide. Basically u need to move those things back to the phone because app2sd does not load on restart. You can change to apps to ext if ur running out of memory. Again check that thread out in the q and a section.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
I'm not really sure what the issue is, to be quite honest -- but uninstall your task manager and task killer apps immediately. They are not doing you any favors. The default memory management in Android 2.x is much wiser than anything you or an app developer could program in.

For all I know this could be causing all your problems...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] FuzeItUp:
Thanks guys, will check it out!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] psouth:
Well here's an update that I think is good news for me maybe. I checked out my neighbors open wifi channel and I was able to connect to that with no problems. Google & marketplace & everything else is just fine with 6.1.1. Now my problem is that the phone apparently won't connected to my secured router. I know, without doubt, that I am putting in the correct password. The security setting for the router is WPA/WPA2 PSK if that helps.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to straighten this out?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
Look in the dev section for the wifi patch for Cm by Hebrew, it may help you, but I dont use WPA so I cant check if it works for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] psouth:
Well further update.I reset my router and everything seems to work now. Makes me feel pretty dopey I didn't try that to begin with. I wasted several hours of irritation because I didn't think things through. Not sure if it will stay that way but we'll see. Still haveing a problem trying to uninstall bloatware too but I'll work on that later. I wore out right now. Thanks for the suggestion Ace.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mytouchguy:
so im haveing a tiny bit of an issue, i got fed up with the increadibly loud shutter sound of the camera here on cm 6.1.1 so i tryed camera 360... and upon instllation it seemed to disable my touch functions on the screen and i had to resort to the trackpad.... i have noticed this with a few other apps and the only way that ive found to fix it is unistall and then reboot......

anyone have any ideas on whats causeing this?

and how to get rid of that shutter sound?

how do i install the google pack? do i flash it using clockwork?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Febby:
You flash the google pack the same way you flash a ROM via recovery. so pretty much go back in the menu you use to flash a ROM and select the google pack zip file and then once it's done flashing, restart :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cliquser19:
I tryed installing the google app pack through clockwork, and by going through rocovery mode, everytime i do it doesnt work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ImDroided:
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH so I dont get it I downloaded the files 3 times from CM's forum put on my sd card and I get a big red ? in the boot loader any clue what I am doing?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Okay...

I will assume that you've already rooted your device and have performed the engineering [beta] downgrade to allow your device to flash zips signed with test-keys. You *really* should perform the S-OFF procedure before attempting this so as to get the Clockwork Mod Recovery permanently flashed, but it appears you have not done so. I'll also wager you haven't updated the device radio, but c'est la vie.

As such...

When you boot into *recovery*, hold volume-up and press the power button. It should pop up a menu -- select "apply sdcard:update.zip" -- this will be bring you into clockwork mod recovery (assuming you have the CWmod update.zip file on the root of your sdcard).

Once you're in there, you'll want to perform a factory wipe and then flash the CM6 zip. Once that's flashed, IMMEDIATELY follow this up by flashing the MDPI gapps zip.

Then reboot and you're all set.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JAWheat411:
Sounds to me like you might not be rooted. You will need to root to install a custom recovery image. As well as custom rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ImDroided:
No I am rooted I deleted a update.zip off my sd card earlier because I thought it was the old rom so do I just reinstall clockwork from rom manager?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ImDroided:
NM thanks guys I did that and got her updating lets hope the new ver is good
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] supermario12312:
Make sure those things AREN'T installed to the SD Card. Go to Manage Applications, and move them back to the phone.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riverajuan:
Base on what I have been reading here for a while it sounds like some of us have the incredible loud shutter sound as I don't read many complaining about it.

The other issue I have never been able to understand is the camera lag when taking a picture and trying to view it quickly after taking the picture. It seems to take forever when loading the 3D gallery to view the pictures too. Is this just me?

One more issue I have is I can never make my wifi tether connection a wap 2 personal it is always wep which I know is weaker security, but have no choice and still use it.

I noticed the Cyanogen seems to be working towards 2.3 which is great news, but I really miss the great nightlys updates.

Great work and I already miss the daily updates

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] petraman:
I'm curious, does CM disable edge/wifi when making a call? I remember it working when I was stock and I THINK some of the earlier cyanogen builds could do it as well, but 6.1 refuses to retain a data connection while on the phone

Oh and one more thing, sometimes when I'm on wifi and it drops when I go out of range it doesn't pick up edge. I have to put it in airplane mode for a bit and then it comes back, but it's odd that happens... Again, another quirk with 6.1. Oh well, I think it's time to upgrade to 6.1.1 which I should have done a while ago.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
It doesn't disable data in call, no. I think it downgrades from 3g to edge or gprs during a call, but it won't disable wifi. As for the other issue, yeah, try upgrading.

I have a very strange problem

Both my friend and I are running this ROM and have similar setups. We can send picture messages to anyone with any phone on any carrier except ATT.

When I send a picture to my friend who has a Blackberry she wont get it, and then every text I send to her after that is cut off after like 15 letters/numbers. In order to fix this I have to do a complete format, re-root my device, and load the ROM.

ON my friends phone, His mom has a samsung I think the mystic or something like that. He cant send her pics, but the text are fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ad505:
A few days ago my slide stopped receiving calls. I do not have s-off and have not updated the radio. Could this possibly be related, or could it be a carrier issue? I can make calls from it, and send/receive texts just fine. Can you post a link to instructions on how to get s-off/flash new radio?

Ok, so I don't need s-off to update the radio? I was under the impression that I would need s-off to update the radio cuz I assumed it was via fastboot.

Anyone care to give their 2¢ on whether or not the inability to receive calls is due to my radio?

And I DON'T need s-off, right?

Thanks!

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Yeah, the way wifi tethering works is sharing the internet connection through a wireless ad-hoc (computer to computer) network, it doesn't ACTUALLY function as an access point, technically speaking. If you connect to the ad-hoc network though, you should have internet access. If not, check to see if you have access control enabled on the wireless tether.

If what CaliBoyPhilip suggested doesn't work, you might try popping your sim card in another phone and seeing if it has the same problem, sometimes sim cards go bad.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
No, you don't need s-off to flash the radio, nor do you need to do it via fastboot, just flash it like you would any other ROM, but make sure you don't pull the battery until you see your boot animation again. Also make sure you have sufficient charge. If the radio flashing gets interrupted, it could brick your phone, because the radio is what is checked/loaded first, even before the bootloader.
