myTouch 3G Slide Q&R update
Those of you following my original MT3GS questions & requests post will see two new videos this morning, and I am re-embedding all three myTouch Slide videos below for home page access. Among the topics covered n parts two and three are my favorite apps the the Slide, some game demonstrations, the genius button, and Dragon Dictation. Also check out a post chock-full of Slide video and photo samples, as well as my step-by-step rooting guide (at your own risk).
I got to all but three or four of your questions before I had to ship the phone off. As always, I do my best to get to all of them but they questions don’t stop coming on the last day of shooting video. Thank you all for participating, and stay tuned for more Q&R on other devices.
Part 1: Multitouch test, speed, unlocking, recommended(?), vanilla Android/default home.
I misspoke during the part on home replacements. If you read the text on screen and look at the buttons, you can see that I had pressed “clear defaults” even though I said, “clear cache.”
Part 2: Dragon Dictation, game demonstrations, home replacement performance, save to SD, N1 or MT3GS, HD2 or MT3GS, root tutorial, to-do-on homescreen,
Part 3: pinch-to-zoom, torch, genius button, best apps?

Great videos, however there are two somewhat major issues with the Part 3 video.
-Using Genius, you can initiate a text by voice as well as speak the message. In other words, you can say, “Text John Doe, I will be home in a bit” and it'll transcribe your voice directly from the Genius app. No need to press any more buttons or use the Dragon Dictation keyboard if you don't want to.
-The Genius button will also read texts to you if you activate Driving Mode. Simply say, “Driving Mode On” and it'll activate. It will notify you that you have a new text, read it to you, and it will give you a voice prompt asking if you want to hear it again or reply. Really neat feature.
And on a somewhat minor note, there is an app called LED Light that works as a LED flashlight on the Slide, but I have not tested it to see if it stays on while recording video. Would be interesting to see.
there's one called LED light and it works on the mytouch slide and does not require root.
Thank you very much. I will add a notation to the video.
I'm a new reader and not sure where to post this, but I was wondering if there's a way to get an unlocked Sprint phone to use on T-mobile network?
That may have taken longer than most have … Hit Update, Once you see a Little Bar appear push Enter on prompt …!
gTasks just added widget capability.
& android now offers a to-do list widget, as they did for notes. click on 'get more widgets' & refresh/update.
i have a question. if you download a home replacement such as adw launcher, is it possible to use the htc sense widgets such as friendstream and other scrollable ones on that home replacement because i personally dont like the look of icons on the home shipped with mt3g slide
i think there are so many good information!
