If I do a "Factory Data Reset" on my unlocked T-Mobile MyTouch Slide will it be locked again?

Seems the answer is typically no but just wanted to see if anyone knows from experience with this particular phone.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
The "sim lock" and the OS on the phone are 2 COMPLETELY different things.

So whenever you unlock your phone, it's permanent.

You can factory reset, replace your OS and ect...

Your phone will still be sim unlocked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EpicEric:
Secondary question: Will it erase any of the APN or connection info?

Thanks!

Hi, I am a newbie here. I am a super fan of different cell phones like GSM cell phones, wifi cell phones, 3G cell phones and so on. In my spare time, I like to go to online stores like amazon, pickegg, and overstockto experience the latest mobile phones. The cell phone information is updated so quickly, so I need to find a way to refresh myself. Your help is highly appreciated here!

Are you trying to download through rom manager? If so, just go to the dev section and go to the fresh thread to download. Then move the zip file to the root directory of the sd card. Then boot directly into recovery to flash. Make sure you back up apps and nand back up.

Beast bugless is very old-I'd pick another rom.

Try fresh, dc 3.5, baked snack 1.8 (google it), vaelpak (for near senseless), evio. For senseless, try cm6.

Really, just search the dev section and read the rom threads. Please stop with all the questions.
[HD2 General] th448:
Hello Everyone!

I have hardspl on my TMOUS, and flashed the newest (3.14) international HD2 rom on my device with customRUU.

It is much smoother and feels better than the tmo rom (and don't have to watch tmo logo). The only problem is: in hardware information it showes 576 ram size and 1024 flash size, but storage size is only ca. 200MB (instead of 600), and usable memory is limited to 448MB (ca 200MB available for user). So these are only software limitations.

Is it possible to remove these limits with overwriting files or tweaking the registry?

Thanks for the answers,

th448
[HD2 General] PloniAlmoni:
The new European Rom is incompatible with the T-Mobile US HTC HD2. No registry setting can fix that.
[HD2 General] th448:
not incompatible

Hell, not incompatible...

Everything works correctly, i'he tried. The only problem is the less available memory because of the soft limitations...
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Riiiiight, which is what he said. The international HD2 has less RAM and ROM, so its programed to show that much. Flash a regular ROM, perhaps the new 3.14 Tmo stock ROM and you should be back to normal.
[HD2 General] th448:
That's the funny fact: in hw information it showes the correct amount of memory, just can't use all of it...

And intern rom looks smoother as is said.
[HD2 General] xnifex:
That's why on HTCs download page it says in blue so that it pops out at you
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
But the point is, even though the ROM may be able to SEE it, it is not programmed to be able to access and USE it. You will have to either flash a T-Mobile US official ROM, or a custom ROM that works the the US HD2 in order to access all of the RAM and ROM available on your device.
[HD2 General] th448:
I made a custom rom based on the international rom.

No flash limitations (600+MB free), and had to overwrite nk.exe from tmo rom, but 576MB RAM works. So it is 99.9% the new int rom. :)

I have juice defender beta and it runs nice or atleast it used to.

By now it just draining my battery life.

How can I solve this?

One solution I have is to get to good kernel and good rom.

But I don't know what I should get, what's the best and where can I get it from.

Can you guys give me you're stats?

And once I get the ROM and etc.

How long does it take for the battery life to kick in?

What is the correct battery life saving trick?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish:
What ROM and kernel are you running now? One way to help save battery life is to have autosync off, leave background data on and manually set your apps and widgets to sync at the same time (example every three hours your mail,news,weather apps sync).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish:
I'm in the process of putting together a guide but here's some pointers. The sync options for the Google apps are in settings/accounts and sync, be sure to leave "background data" enabled as this is required for market. For other apps you will need to go into that apps settings. For me, my stuff is set for every two hours. So on my phone I get 1%/hr battery drain every other hour and 2%/hour when everything syncs.
[General Questions and Answers] aaa:
Hello everyone,

I just lost my HTC Desire to my sister, since her Nokia 6630 lost its live just about a day ago.

She just grab my Desire and leaving my SIM-card behind. (Stupid is, she knows my all of my password and pin numbers on that phone...I guess she was spying on me for quite some time)...well...she did play the games inside my Desire...a LOT!!

I am really stupid!

Well...She talks more than I do on the phone...so...I guess I have to accept that..I am busy writing my master work at this moment...and I don't wanna have a fight with her ...not at his point of time...(I assume she knew that too).

The problem is, I don't have enough money to get a good smartphone which can match my "previous" Desire. Legend, Samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab, etc. are way too expensive for me right now,

and HTC Wildfire can not meet my expectation.

Well...I can still make phone calls with my ..stupid Nokia 1800...It is juts...something big is obviously missing on that pile of plastic..

Now, I am thinking of getting an Archos 70 8GB Internet tablet, which will be there soon enough.

It will cost about the same price as Wildfire, but with more capabilities (at least according to the spesification).

So..I think...perhaps, I can use that along with my (stupid) Nokia 1800 Phone.

but, the thing is...I have never used anything from Archos before.

Can anyone post your experience using Archos previous Android tablets?

Is the company any good by the customer service?

Anything?

Pleaseeeeeee......

Check out archosfans.com if you want to talk to people who are familiar with the brand. I had portable archos mp3/media players back before ipods became the standard, but I haven't used their products in quite a few years. The newest android tablets are interesting, especially since they're considerably less expensive than ipads and gtabs, but until I get a chance to hold one I'll refrain from any judgments.

[General Questions and Answers] aaa:
Hmm...experience...LeeDroid you mean?

My impression until now :

Somehow faster than stock ROM, apps are installable to SDCard (most important), Desire proc become OC-able (not doing it), stable, slight improvement in battery live, still has Sense (third important), DSP manager become available (second important), performance gain for 3D games (fourth important) .

I like also the Desire HD rom (RCMixHD), but too bad that the camera is not working and I went back to LeeDroid.

I wanna try several other roms but I will play with LeeDroid for the time being first.

[General Questions and Answers] digibucc:
well a phone is not a tablet and vice versa. in fact, a good android phone and an archos tab pair very well together, with wireless/Bt tether.

I have an HTC evo, and an Archos 70it (new Gen8).... froyo should be on the archos within days which will then give me exactly what i want in terms of portability and technology.

smart phone -> tablet -> laptop -> desktop ... a tool for every job, and a home server that serves media and files to all of them, wired and wireless, anywhere in the house.

sry... bit OT, but simply loving my tablet and it is a great addition. froyo will perfect it.

first off... we HAVE a 1GHZ capable scorpion processor (its just UNDERclocked at 800MHZ to save battery) and the fastest android phone available so yes, of f*cking course the G2 QUALIFIES for gingerbread (sorry I freaking hate that stupid rumor. it's nothing personal... it's just been asked around 10 million times). second... that is debatable whether 3.0 will be pushed to the G2 since tmobile has been screwing all their android phone customers with their lack off new OS version otas after 1.6 so.... who nows for sure. it seems like they didn't release 2.2 for the MTS so some of the owners would upgrade to the G2. and guess what? it worked... we will get a couple fix otas (one is being pushed out as we speak) but know one knows for sure what they will do. if can root the darn thing (hopefully the ota being sent will help in the efforts), we can just port it from the desire z or something similar if tmobile drops the ball on gingerbread.

we need to remove the add new topic from the tapatalk app as it makes search harder and new thread easier. these rumors have been debunked, and notice that the G2 out peforms EVERY other phone out there even with the "slower" CPU, the underclock is a software lock so we could get it kicked up a notch when 3.0 is released(which from recent rumors 3.0 is actually honeycomb). if you don't think the phone will get updates then please return your phone and get a nexus.
