Just wondering if this will work for the Mytouch Slide soon.

No case comes w/ the phone???

I just got my new slide a couple of days ago & just realized the it didn't come w/ anything to put it in. The G1 had a case that was black and the mytouch 3G had that black case that had those strings. I wonder why we didn't get anything w/ the slide? You would think people would want something for it seeing as we (or @ least i) had one w/ my G1 and MyTouch 3G (had to get rid of in less than 2 days cuz having no physical keyboard drove me crazy). What do u think or how do u guys feel about this???

I was just wondering cuz this is the only phone I had that didn't come with a case included lol.

Lol ;] who cares if it says g1. Unless you hold it around then why would it matter.
Lol yeah I guess, I'm just sayin that u would think it would come with its own case rite?? Seeing ass the G1 & myTouch 3G did lol.

Permanent recovery

If this has been answered somewhere else, then my apologies.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get clockwork recovery to stick yet? I know there was a problem with not being able to write to that partition due to the spl, but I read a twitter post saying something about slide users updating their recovery image the other day and was hoping someone could clarify.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I figured that would have made much bigger splash, but hey, dream big, right? Thanks, mang.

As of now, there isn't a perminant recovery without update.zip. waiting on new kernel in order to do so.

Settings question with cm6

I just got root and flashed cm6. I was redownloading apps, one which was till touch to talk. The app will not work because in my settings, about phone, mobile number, it says unknown. How do I get it to say my number? The area is greyed out so I cannot click. Thanks in advance.

That is a problem thats been mentioned before check out the nightlies thread or the official thread idk if there is a fix or not

I haven't seen anything on it yet. Thanks though. Hopefully that gets fixed which I imagine it will.

Try a fresh install some people said that helped or try a different rom and see if it shows up if it doesn't call tmo and talk to them and say your number isn't showing up in settings it could be on tmo end
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Maybe I will try a different rom. I called tmo but they didn't help cause they had to send an ota update which doesn't go through to the phone. Any recommended roms?

Well try or the crmod updated rom its the closest to stock so if it doesn't do it then it is a tmo problem

Ahh .. found the fix. Cyanogen actually implemented a setting in cm6 due to this problem. Go to settings-call settings-additional settings-then number. Once you type it in, it writes it to the sim card.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
i've done this, however if you reboot the phone or put it into airplane mode the number gets wiped and you need to reprogram it.
Oh. Well thanks for the info. I can live with that for now. Then again, I don't ever shut my phone off. Lol
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
lol me either, except when i'm on the train - or flashing the nightlies in which case I need to redo it multiple times a day!
I noticed today that the voicemail number is also not saved to the sim card, or doesn't read it. Not a big deal since 123 dials voicemail. However it does prevent you from using visual voicemail and other services.

Anyone ditching their mytouch 3g slide for the 4g?

I am

I'm looking into a Nokia n900 but for the meantime I am sticking wit my Slide
not me, if it was the Desire HD I'd be more inclined to consider it. for me they are gonna have to come stepping a lot better than this to get me to drop atleast $200 on another phone before next summer. minimum... 2nd Gen Snapdragon 1.2GHz, 4+ inch screen and hard keyboard (yeah, Swype is faster for most but with my hands being jacked up from turning wrenches for the Army I prefer real keyboard)
yes I know the Desire HD doesn't have a hard keyboard... that is why I said I'd consider it
Nope not till they get some OTA's to it to fix the signal problem its having. I hear it doesnt get a good signal as other android phones do. Thats the problem I had with vibrant. maybe in a month or two.
Nope not at all.

The diference between the desire hd and new mytouch, is that the desire hd has a bigger screen, no FFC, I think no HSPA+, but it has the better newer sense ui, but rumor is HTC is giving phones updates in december of this year, to get the new sense ui

What phone are you talking about, I'm talking about the unreleased mytouch

The main thing i love about this phone is the slide out keyboard. mytouchHD or 4g or whatever it's called, doesn't have that. major no for me. on the brightside it does have video calling, but personally don't know a lot of people i could do that with so not needed for me.

Yeah I agree with you physical keyboard is always a plus in my book.

depending on how people like the phone i would consider it
How much do you wanna bet, a few months past the release date, there will be a post just like this in the 4G section sayin "anyone ditching their MyTouch 4G for the MyTouch incredibly awesome and extreme?". Lol I'm just saying. With the way t-mobile has been pushing out MyTouch phones quicker than mexican mothers push out babies (I'm mexican not racist) the 4G will probably fade just a quick as the slide.

Yeah I agree, there's always a better phone on the horizon so you're better off picking one you like and sticking with it.
Something to keep in mind for those of you who are unhappy with the Slide, S-OFF is coming soon and once we have that we will be able to do more things to the device.

Your right about there is always a "better" phone coming, but I think the G2 and the new MyTouch will be pushed for the next year. The Slide just came out at a crappy time and got no love from T-Mo, hell you can't weven get a decent case for it.
And no I'm not switching for two reasons, no keyboard means no go and my wife would kick my a** if I got another phone this soon.

haha, i think that is the best reason, seeing as i am in the same boat. when i got this phone she told me "You better be happy with this phone. I don't wanna hear you b!tch later on when a new phone comes out."

i really wanna keep my slide and push it like i did with the g1
but it is kinda sad the dev part is so slow and people pretty much abandoned it
#savetheslide
I have to say, i just looked and some of the reviews of the 4G, and i am not impressed. 4G is a no go for me.
I might wait it out for a dual-core phone of the 1.5ghz cpus. The 4G is okay, but doesnt improve on the slide that much or even the ui.

Need help

I just got a my touch and I flash cm7. And its on my phone how do I turn the s-off need help so I can update busybox

What hboot are you running? If it is 1.02 or something then you will not get S-Off. If you are on .52 then refer to the s-off thread in development.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Depending on your HBoot version, if it's above 0.52 (or something close to .5), then you can't get S-OFF. If it is 0.52, then see this thread for instruction and stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798168
Were will I finds that .t stuff at in my phone
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using xda premium
When you power down your phone, remove the battery and wait 30 seconds to allow to to be truely powered off. Replace the battery then hold the volume down rocker and press the power button. It should bring you to the hboot/fastboot screen. At the top has the info you need. Good luck.
