To all the Devs, reps, and threaders on XDA
Hi guys. How are you all? First and foremost, I wanted to thank you guys for building this website to make your products the best of em all. Well I have a mytouch 3g slide and i just rooted it 3 days ago using these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245086
And it went very very smooth. I'm fine with using CM7 but i was looking at some custom roms and I found to like the Salsa Slide ROM. I found it on this website:
http://theunlockr.com/category/roms-2/android-roms-2/htc-mytouch-slide-roms/ (which leads to XDA!)
So I read the instructions as to what this link has said:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/05/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-mytouch-slide/ (and i found a similar one on XDA)
However, I tried doing this nothing worked. I attempted it three times, going into Clockwork Mod Recovery and then pressing install zip. sd card but it just stays black after i select. I left it on like that for 30 minutes for a response but nothing happens. I clicked on the power button just to see maybe if it reboots but it when back to Clockwork Mod Recovery.
So can someoneplease help me out with this. I really want the Salsa and it looks freakin awesome, lol! But again, thank you so much guys for making rooting much easier and possible.
I'm guessing you pressed the power button as your confirm? The new ClockworkMod Recovery's power button actually just turns the screen off (well, kinda), to confirm an action, you need to press the camera key or the small touchpad in the middle.
Thanx a bunch man! I really appreciate it. It looks sick as hell. But one problem, I can't work bluetooth for some reason. I turn it on and try to connect it with my headset and it says that Bluetooth Share has gotten into a problem. I have to let HTC know. What seems to be the problem?
There are several issues left on Salsa slide, unfortunately the developer doesn't have the slide anymore, so he couldn't fix them. Bluetooth is one of them, you might find some other issues with wifi on some occasion, but overall it's a great rom. =D
glad that i can help.

hey guys,
my green answer call button doesnt seem to work. i'm wondering if its the rom or the phone. it still lights up but doesnt respond when i push the button.
any suggestions like a button tester program?
kind regards,
jason
Are you having any problems with any other keys?
If its just the one you can break your phone down and check your connections and see if anythings loose or damaged. Make sure to go to the Wiki and check out the guide on how to properly take your phone apart.
everything works except for that the green phone button
Starting to wonder about malfunctioning buttons posts
I myself posted a thread on my malfunctioning power button . I am getting the feeling that certain apps and tweaks are causing some of these malfunctioning hardware buttons to happen. Not exactly a scientific point of view, but I think lots of this button malfunctioning (no matter which one), can eventually be resolved by HR or as mentioned in another post, Clear Storage. I myself, within a minute, pulled out my SDMicro card out for 15 seconds, took off Quickmark application (last app or cab put on my system), and my power button turns on/off as it should. I had to resort to SR's when I had my problem..........................
Latest: Found out that my main problem was NOT any of the above,, it all seemed to occur because of a buildup of Notification Queue's,, so check that out... I think that those queue's can be a source of a lot of problems
cheers for that suggestion.
softreset doest fix it so i will have to resort to hard reseting.
lucky the vodaphone version has the 3G phone button and i can use that to get to the dial pad but it then assumes my calls are 3G which are annoying
has anyone got any suggestions then?
i flashed K's new rom and still my 'Green Answer Phone' button doesnt work.
thanks in advance for any help

i had a similiar problem when installing a different dialer via cab.
i would suggest to either install a naked rom (like pandora naked) or one of the older roms (like schaps v3.x).
do not install any other cabs and see if the green button is working.
i flashed pandora naked rom and it still doesnt work.
any one have any other suggestions?
if not will i have to take the phone apart :S?
the Irda doesn't work at all, when i install a program to use my tytn as a remote for my tv, and i try to clone my remote i get an error saying "Irda port being used by another application"
and it wont communicate with over devices via Irda. other than that it works great...does anybody know a way to fix this problem?
p.s. tried other roms, Irda works fine, so it's not the phone.
please help this lost soul!!
thanks!
sorry, posted in wrong area! rookie mistake! forget about it!
A general rule I follow is not to use too many .cabs as certain apps and tweaks can cause some of these malfunctionings to happen.
You cant be installing cabs for everything on your phone. Do you really have so much space in your phone?
hey guys i thought this was a thread about getting my green answer call button working again!
seem like more of a hardware problem to me. you can still try checking for bad blocks, flashing another radio, but that all may be futile. look up the disassembly guides in the wiki. mikechannon also has some stuff on that, if u click on his sig
every other time my phone rings I cant answer it. The accept button just wont move?? is it just me or have anyone else had this error I have a dezire z
Do you have set CPU set to 245MHz @ screen off?
no i dont, why?
Well that could be one cause, maybe it's a bad app causing your phone to temporarily freeze? Can you slide it the other way and ignore the call?
Did you try flashing a different kernel?

why do you suggest this? how do you know hes using kernels? im just trying to see what your connection to the solution is -its quite a specific answer to a problem that hasnt really been examined. what rom is he on, etc before you can start talking about kernels -- so can you clarify?
accept button - do you mean the slider? if you have cmod - just activate settings to disable lock menu/trackball/ whatever --also you could try the no-lock unless you have security issues.
if no cmod -- theres apps to reduce the lockage -- that may help you get your phone calls but still doesnt fix the problem? you could try enomther's and his awesome extra ssettings app has all those options
Thanks for your help, well it is my wifes phone and it is fresh from the store, just a bunch of apps installed.
I will try some things and see if i can figure it out. And yes it is the slide button, can that be switched for a push button, Is it theme based or in the dialer?? hope you understand what i say.

If its a stock DESIRE Z and not a G2 then I think it's safe to assume its got sense on it and not AOSP. Did you try hard resetting it? (power down and pulling the battery for at least 30 sec) other than that id check for any OTA updates in the settings menu. OR if you're willing/know how, you can root it and run CM or virtuous. Both ROMs are excellent. If you do that and the problem persists, it could very well be a faulty unit. You have a lot of options!
I found I had problems answering calls when I had a specific make of screen protector on the phone. As soon as I took that off and went back to a previous one I'd used then it was fine again ! It's a long shot, but I thought I'd throw it in there.
Problem solved, An update did the trick, thanks for helping out my friends,
same problem , cannot answer with swipe keys
I have the same problem, which update did you use

First, i would like to apologize if there is already a thread about this... i could not find one though.
The problem im having is that when i press the power button to bring up the lockscreen, it flashes the lockscreen then goes back to a black screen. it takes me a couple trys until im finally able to slide the unlock thing.
any help will be greatly appreciated!
Was it working before? (In other words: are you sure it is not a hardware-failure?)
Negative. but it is resolved now though. At first i wasnt sure if i should do that upgrade thing after the downgrade, but i did it anyways just for kicks and giggles. and it fixed it. or atleast thats what i think did. shortly after i flashed the wp7 rom thats up here, and loving it so far minus a few glitches but no biggie!
I still saw a lot of people asking about a fix for this issue on the AOKP thread. I would post this there, but I don't have the privileges as of yet. Anyways for those of you that want the physical lights on, pull down your notification bar and set the brightness on max. Press/toggle the auto brightness button on and off several times. Saw a few people say 20 times. On your last press make sure you toggle the auto brightness on, then very quickly press the power button to turn the screen off, and then quickly press the power button again to go to your lock screen. Afterwards your physical lights should be working normally again. You have to repeat this step over again if you reboot your phone, but atleast this is a temp fix for those of you that want the lights on. I did not come up with this as I found it through a search, but a lot of people are still asking for a fix so I figured I'd post it.
+1 op
Confirmed working on CodeName.
Awesome. +1

Didn't even realize they were even broken. Fixed it for me though
Thanks man I'll try it out . I've been looking for a fix for that and haven't seen one till now. I've posted a few questions in the general thread but I never seem to get an answer. Thanks for helping another noob ! I've been experimenting quite a bit with AOKP, CM9, and Codename and I was wondering why the stock task killer isn't included in neither of the 3. They are amazing especially AOKP but my battery doesn't last me through work and I'm assuming its because I have some apps running in the background. Anyone know why the devs didn't include it or know how I can install it ? Just to be clear I'm looking to install the stock task manager w/ program monitor not the task killers from the market that don't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys !
I bought a used G2 which already had Cyanogenmod on it. The trackpad button works to scroll both horizontally and vertically, but clicking it does not select anything in any app. I reset the phone and flashed a fresh download of CyanogenMod-7.1.0-vision using Clockwork recovery. The button still does not work. I can't find any setting in Cyanogen which would control it.
Since I can't revert to stock (bought phone with no original image) to check out the button with the original phone image, I have a question: is the trackpad click expected not to work in Cyanogenmod 7, or is the button broken? (Or is there a setting I have missed?)
I suspect it is broken, but I'd like confirmation before concluding that, so many thanks to anyone who can confirm this button is or is not expected to work.
(Search disclaimer: I've searched here and on CyanogenMod forum and see no one reporting my problem, and Google searches are lost between 1) people asking if they can use this button to unlock the phone and 2) Google getting confused and thinking I want to know about the HP Touchpad. I've also found it surprisingly hard to find reference to people actually using the trackpad to click things.)

Try to flash Sense based ROM, or something wat's not CyanogenMod. If it doesn't work, the button is broken.
Thanks. Button is confirmed dead.
12.99 on ebay, takes 20min to replace, 30 if you take your time
You have to turn the trackpad option on, its not on by default.

For me it's on by default, no matter which ROM I use.
