I don't use the HBOOT drivers since I don't have my device rooted.I can see that it could have an effect.

I'll check the device name, hardware id and driver version for the ADB tomorrow and we shall compare it with yours.

Plug in using rear USBs

Well, plugging in using the rear USBs worked for me. Slightly inconvenient. Maybe they're trying to sell more docks...

Change USB "Charge Only" to USB "HTC Sync"

I have a super simple solution to try that worked for me.

When getting the HTC Sync "no device connected" error message, you must change the phone's USB setting from "charge only" to "HTC Sync", if it's not already done.

I noticed that my "notifications panel" at the top of the screen said "Charge Only" next to a USB symbol.

To make this change on the T-Mobile MyTouch 3g Slide, I opened the notifications panel (with your finger, pull down the bar at the top of the screen). Then, I clicked on USB "Charge only" bullet and changed it to "HTC Sync". Voila, the next time I plugged in my phone, HTC Sync recognized it, the phone app of HTC Sync found the HTC Sync on my computer, and gave me options for syncing.

I didn't need to uninstall or reinstall HTC Sync, move drivers, use msconfig to prevent programs from starting up, etc. :)
[Wildfire General] SPreston2001:
Thanks alot!!! This just saved me so much trouble!!!

Sync screen minimized - shows device connected, but can't open Sync screen

I have the HTC Merge from U.S. Cellular. I had used HTC Sync without too many problems when I was on XP until the last update. That always connected but would not sync, giving me an error every time [1000 general error]. The fix was to re-install the version before, and don't upgrade even when you get a notice that an upgrade is available.

As soon as I moved to Windows 7, and used the same process, Sync on my PC would flash on, then show disconnected, and then minimize. The icon in the system tray showed a connection, and my phone shows a connection. But there is no way that I have found to get the main window open on the PC, and set the options for what I want to sync!

HTC has been no help at all.

Has anyone found a way to view the Sync software screen on the PC after moving to Windows 7... or 8?

Crossing my fingers - hoping there's a solution!
[Wildfire General] Will_Xda:
I had a similar problem, but just had to update htc drivers and reboot then it worked perfecto :) hope youv'e gotten it sorted out mate.
[Wildfire General] kevin1061:

Do you know which versions of the HTC drivers worked for you? I'm hoping that your solution works for me!!:fingers-crossed:

[Wildfire General] kevin1061:
Joe,

I gave these a try, and I still have the same issue. HTC Sync loads for a second, then flashes "No device connected" and disappears. The icon in the system tray shows a connection, and I can tell the phone to sync, but after checking my calendar for a test appointment that I changed, nothing changed on the phone. Since HTC Sync won't open, I can't adjust the settings to make sure it is set up correctly.

Very frustrating! Wish they would update their software!

[Epic 4G General] bojackson63044:
I have a problem where the screen brightness varies by itself without any input from me. I have turned off automatic brightness and set the screen brightness at the lowest level in an attempt to save battery life. However, when I use the phone at a later time I would recognize a difference in the screen brightness. When I go to check it in settings, the screen brightness level is set at a different level.

Has anyone else had this problem?
[Epic 4G General] b1indsided:
Go into settings sound and brightness and uncheck the power saving option at the bottom and ofcourse make sure u uncheck auto brightness.
[Epic 4G General] Gagstr:
also i read in another post that the TouchWiz user interface has a built in feature that will adjust brightness when you swip your finger at the top of the screen, making it brighter when you swipe left to right and dimming the screen when you swipe right to left.
[Epic 4G General] bojackson63044:
Yeah I've done both of those things.

That must be it! Thanks! I must have swiped left/right on the top of the screen without realizing it. Kind of annoying for them to sneak in a feature like that. I can see it being useful but I prefer the power control widget. Any idea how I can disable that feature of touchwiz?
[Epic 4G General] Gagstr:
getting ridd of touchwiz was the first thing i did when i got my epic so i dont really know much about it :(.
[Epic 4G General] bojackson63044:
How did you get rid of touchwiz? I installed Launcherpro over it but that doesn't do away with touchwiz.
[Epic 4G General] Gagstr:
There was a thread on here for that from what i can remember, i cant look for it right at this moment because im at work but you should be able to find it yourself. Search for "removing touchwiz UI" if you cant find it go to google (it might have been a diff forum/Blog it was a few days ago).
[Epic 4G General] mesasone:
You guys can change your home screen launcher, but you won't be able to get rid of TouchWiz until a vanilla ROM comes out. The ability to adjust adjust your brightness via swipe on the notification bar is - for better or worse (better imho) - not dependant on you using the TW launcher.
[Epic 4G General] crazaytalent:
If you root the epic, you CAN manually uninstall all touchwiz packqages to remove the ui...

That notification taskbar swipe is pretty handy tho... thanks to whoever shared it... I like to keep my screen dim for the most part... but that is soooo much easier to use when, say I go outside and need to adjust quickly! It even works in landscape mode! Nice!
[Epic 4G General] DiNoise:
Root your Epic, download Root Explorer from market (worth the price), make sure you already have Launcher PRO running, then go to running applications and force close TouchWiz30Launcher then go to root explorer > system > app (make sure you mount it as r/w) > and delete TouchWiz30Launcher.apk and .odex, then reboot and that's it.

You can also use terminal app if you're familiar with commands.

buying a slide?

i currently own an Eris on VZW, and i was thinking about switching over to T-Mobile ( due to current promotions and pay cut ). With that being said the slide was the only device that caught my attention.

is it really worth it? i havent really caught the buzz about the device wanted to get some current user feedback.

Thanks!

-SoCal
[myTouch 3G Slide General] RavenWulf:
Personally I love my Slide but if you have a few weeks to wait, for about the same money (depending on the mail in rebate) you can get the new G2 when it comes out
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Sleef:
I really like my Slide and have had mostly good experiences with Tmo. I've never been on another carrier but I have listened to friends endlessly ***** and moan about Verizon.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] thatduderob:
Are you buying it to root and load roms? or just as a phone? The stock sense rom is a little bulky and sluggish. Most of the Devs bailed on the slide. Eugene, HTCClay and even though we have CM the wifi is very wonky. They either went to the Samsung Vibrant or HD2..... If you need a keyboard than maybe the G2. The rumor that it only has an 800m processor stinks. Its stepping backwards like the slide did. I have had the slide since day one. Rooted it first week and have loaded every rom out there. I feel like i did when i bought my intellivision or turbo graphix 16 or sega cd.........
[myTouch 3G Slide General] bdobson:
I've had it for about four months and haven't had any issues that were not self inflicted (goatta love rooting ;-) ) . Just go into it knowing your not buying a top of the line phone. As nice as it is, and it truly is a wonderful device, buy it with the right expectations and you will be happy.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] migueltherocker:
If you're going to spread your opinion, you should do some research first. Clock speed is irrelevant in this matter. It's a completely different type of chipset (Scorpion), that works much more efficiently and quickly than current Snapdragon and Hummingbird processors, according to the information we have.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] megan23247:
IMO u should wait and get one of the two new phones that T-Mobile is fixing to come out with. This slide is only ok. Nothing bad to say about it (unless you wanna get choosy, like I am) but also nothing good to sat bout it if u know what I mean. Obviously there are better phones out there but not any that u can get from T-Mobile. This is just MY opinion so do what u want with it.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] daewond3r:
I would wait for the G2.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Hussyfan:
Waste of money IMHO. The slide is dependable but very low end. I would stick with verizon as well. Better phones and better coverage (at least where I am) also not as expensive.

it is good if you must go with tmo but then again I would say consider some of their other models or wait for some newer phones. Phones always come around the holiday season.

lettin the hussy role on my MT3G Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Stratis1978:
Slide is Tmobile's current top offering.

Is it worth it?

Sure; yes.

Wait for the G2, or choose another carrier for their high-end phone.

But the truth -- is that the Slide is holding it's own with phones with better specs.

That's the hype you'll be hearing about the Slide (at least for a while).
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kanundra:
Agreed, if you need a phone NOW the Slide is T-Mobile's best phone. If you can wait a bit, the G2 will be the way to go.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] archie53:
The Slide is a great phone, but the G2 is only gonna be 20 more, so I would wait the 3 weeks and get the G2. If I had known this was definately coming out in September back in June when I got the Slide I would have waited.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
Agreed. I am actually debating on getting either the G2 or the Mytouch HD. Seeing as the G2 is definitively coming it within a few weeks, that looks more promising.

Hi, there's an option to turn the left and right softkey on and off in the ADW setting.

I can't create screenshots but try to explain it briefly here (it's simple) although you have reset it, it may benefit others who come across the same problem.

so in ADW settings..

> Interface Settings

there's a Turn On/Off Left Action Button option.

check it to have the phone icon on, uncheck to take it away.

Effectively you can disable to right action button (web browser) as well.

You can also turn on two more extra button as well, but haven't had time to figure out how to set the shortcuts... only have 2 blank keys theres at the mo.

Sorry for, if there're, any inaccurate labelling as I have mine in T.Chinese so not sure what the exact English labels are... shoudn't be far off though.

Hope it helps~

so I have been using IGO8 on WM for ages. works fine.

I now have Android running on my HD2. I read that MOTONAV is the Android equivalent of IGO8. Apparantly same directory and subdirectory structure. I have the Motonav APK but cant get it to work.

I renamed the subdirectory 'IGO8' to 'MOTONAV', ran Android and ran Motonav, but it gets stuck on installation.

Anyone know what other changes are required?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
When I got motonav, it came with the apk and a Motonav folder. I manually dragged the map files from my existing IGO8's IGO8 folder to the corresponding directory in the motonav folder. I left the contents of the motonav folder, just substituting maps and voices for my region's.

IGO makes motonav, that is why they both use .fbl map files. People use motonav on the hd2 because it supports the 480x800 resolution.

One last thing. When I first installed Motonav, the installation crashed and I had to hit the red reset button beneath the battery cover. On reboot, It worked fine.

GL
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mini_robot:
u should have a folder named Motonav. in that folder u should have two more folders named: Content and License.

just install the apk. transfer all of ur old files and license and run as normal.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sichroteph:
actually motonav is way lower than igo8 on wm... It shares same maps than igo, that's all. Screen navigation is fine but there is no parameter to configure and we can't set an trip with several checkpoints. Very basic, just set a destination from the place we are. It is the best gps under android so I am a bit disappointed.

Launcher pro has a transition effect for opening and closing apps. It zooms in and out into or out of the applications.

How do you get this same effect in sense UI.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] hdad2:
I'm not sure this is possible. I would encourage using launcher pro. Just select it as default instead of sense. I tried it just this last weekend and I'm much happier with it compared to stock. The level of customization available is crazy. Throw in Beautiful widgets and I have no reason to use the sense launcher.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
You don't. LauncherPro owns the hell out of Rosie, anyways. Just get alternative widgets from the Market.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] h3nG:
Launcher pro doesn't feel as smooth to me. Sense seems to be the smoothest UI of all the ones I tried.

Also launcher pro lags after a few days without restart for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
I think you're in the minority on that one. And if you don't get lag until a few days, take the 2 seconds to restart LP every couple days. It's not complicated at all.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ookees:
launcher pro is awesome. my evo is like a whole new phone now, no problems at all.

just take the time to customize it nicely and buy some of the alternative widgets that make it look like sense. its well worth spending the few dollars.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beandogg:
I agree with h3nG.

Sense is smoother than Launcher pro. With 7 screens, there is always a small stutter when opening leap or screen previews in launcher pro the first time its called. But if you don't turn off the screen, on subsequent screen previews it is smooth. I just wish the 1st time was smooth...(that's what she said.)

And that's coming from someone who uses Launcher pro (mainly because I like customizing the dock).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] driguez:
I disagree, never had any type of issues w LP, actually it has been smoother than sense for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Leukay:
I'll do some digging. I too prefer sense to launcherpro. You can't deny that there is always a slight stutter when switching screens slowly on launcher pro that just isn't there with sense. I know it is possible because back in my hero days, Darchstar had a rom called DarchLegend which was based on the Legend rom, but he incorporated the zoom effects from stock android. I believe I know how to achieve it so it'll just take a little digging
