I heard about there being a software update for the mytouch slide. I went to do a manual search and found no option to even do so. Does the MT3GS not have a manual update search? Please let me know.
In the dev sectio. The update.zip is there

My question was about searching for a manual update. I went to wear the manual update would be and theres no option.
The option isn't there. Why make a thread about it?

Are you referring to the option on the G1 (and possibly others) in settings that allowed you to check for updates? No the slide does not have that option.

To see if there was a problem with my phone or if the slide just didn't have it. Why would you post something if you're just gonna be a jerk about it?
Was wondering if that is an option like forward the t mobile message and see if it works that way as I have not gotten this update and no access to a pc or laptop at this moment.

If you want it that bad, go here:

Download the file, place it on your sd card.
Turn off your phone
Hold the volume down, and turn it back on.
When you get to the screen with the skateboarding androids, select apply update.zip
Wait for it to finish. It will turn on and off 2-3 times. When it's done, it'll turn back on completely. Congratulations, you have now manually updated.
Like I said above I do not have access to a computer or laptop at this moment.

Then use your phone? I assume you have that since you are using it now.
I Have Tried..
I have followed all instructions to the letter, but I get the Red Triangle of Death. Any thoughts?
And just how am I going to use my phone? You have to rename files etc.... please explain.

i was wondering what bloatware can i remove from the slide? i couldn't find a topic that was slide specific or that mentions what and how.
I highly doubt it can be removed without rooting the phone. I could be wrong, but I am almost certain that it cannot be removed unless the phone is rooted.

The only way to remove the bloatware is by rooting the phone, since it's built into the phone's software. Is the software causing you trouble? If so, get an automatic task killer and kill the processes. I hope that helps!
thanks for replying, sorry for coming back here late.

Call me crazy, but I think there's a few a2sd (apps to sd) apps in the app market. I think it should work on Android 2.1.

Ok Im a newbie to the rooted epic 4g touch, now I one clicked my epic 4g touch with sfhubs ff18 one click. Now I heard that they are rereleasing the update to fix ALOT of issues. My question is will I get the notification for the update on my rooted phone and will it put my phone back to unrooted if I do? Also if it doesnt send me the notification will someone be posting another one click no data odin link for the new update so I can get the fix? Sorry but not sure how updates work on rooted phones.

There is no new update release. They are resuming the previous release, with the only change being the updater script now automatically wipes data from the Swype keyboard to fix that particular bug.

So then they arent fixing the battery issue?
The battery issue has been resolved for several people I know that have removed all of their user installed apps and reinstalled one by one till they find the app that isn't ICS ready.

It might sound weird how i resolved the battery issue. I went to settings and unmounted sd card. Then restarted phone. Then inserted card, mounted, and let it go through its motions, when it stabilized... I restarted it again.
All is well. Run cpuspy to check making sure its going into deep sleep properly, remove apps or set them to manual update. Im not a big Facebook guy, i have an account, but the recent update forced 1 hour check ins, preventing deep sleep. Be vigilant in checking apps anytime they update.
This ff18 (two weeks or so im on it) is fabulous and smooth for me. No rooting, i did the YouTube guy update real easy

I followed what you said and everything is flawless. May just be me but the task manager bug isn't there anymore.

Yes, it will remove root and unlock. But it'll fail depending on the mods you've done to it.
To reroot/unlock, do the same as zvb

I'll remove xposed then.
I try using freegee to unlock but it said my version was too new and i needed a special code. After i got it , it said something about storing download mode somewhere in my phone.
Next i tried using the teeny bins , it unlocked but it wouldn't let my phone boot after i would install a rom?

Not quite sure I understand what you did.
I think you need to do a factory reset. But you might lose your SD.

Sounds like a bad flash / corrupted system. I am inclined to agree that you need to do a factory reset first, however you will more then likely lose your SD contents. A very good rule of thumb is to remember if you are flashing a ROM based from stock and you are one / stock it's self, you should be good. Same works for CM based ROM's going from one to another tends to do pretty well, it's the crossing of the guards so to speak that tends to cause issues.
Personally if I could get in my phone I would back up everything and flash stock rom > factory reset > root/unlock > wipe everything in recovery except internal (SD) and then flash ROM/Gapps.
GL!
So I failed to update , now it can't update it says im lastest version but im still in ZVB?

Just flash a factory ZVB image (unmodified other than root & unlocked) through recovery. Follow the steps in the linked post below to update to ZVC (works with TWRP recovery) without too much hassle (uses Rootkeeper & Freegee). No computer needed and -worked great! Took under 10 mins during work break!, No loss of apps / data / sdcard.

Not much new. Here's a post about the update. Your root, and Freegee and the teeny bins all work.
ZVC bin added. Please thank tommyjoesanders here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437284
My upload was bad, so I won't have another one til tomorrow.
Changes found so far:
Roaming popup still keeps showing up after being checked
less than 10 character texts work now
Avoid poor wifi connections is still messed up.
tommyjoesanders - They sure did fix auto brightness sensors, wifi and signal locks on better and they updated most the pre installed apps from google.
The modem/radio seems to be the same. But tommyjoe says they made improvements in other ways.

I'm just happy to have the under 10 Char message fixed. Those rejections sucked.

Just a quick follow up (after updating and going back to root/unlock). The biggest change I've noticed with the update is the radio performance. They've definitely improved in that area. I especially notice this when indoors at work where I RARELY (as in almost never) got a 4G connection. Now I get a solid 3 bars indoors. Same with at home where my connection period was spotty (apparently my house sits in a gray zone). Which is why I always just used WiFi at home. But just to check, disabled WiFi and now I get a steady 3G connection (I never ever got a 4G connection at home so I wasn't expecting to now).
