Can you please elaborate what this means

So now that this device is official (Vitality), any chance to get some "root love"?

Well since metropcs and this phone is the same, most likely the root metro has will root it.

Rooting Huh?
Well after spending a second day trying to solve my problem I had superuser on my phone well someone elses phone, but something went wrong so I am throwing in the towel before I have to by someone a phone because this is how I got myself into this I tried to help someone get more business turns out the guy is a loser so I am stuck with having to give someone some free technical features, but rooting wont be one of them, I am going to figure some other ways to spice the phone of for them I just really don't have the time nor the patience with all the reading and materials and the drivers that won't run on my system some of this is a headache for people who are not that good with this sort of machinery.
And I have found that there are so many who say there good but when it comes down to it, I have had two bad experiences this is why I was trying to show some people some new ways to have there phones done, but I realize a few things I am not helping people out no more fu*k'em I got my phone done and complete and I am tired of helping others out and just about everyone who I went to meet up with in Philadelphia and this other guy who answers and gets back to you when he's ready this phone thing is a little much, like you guys say if you don't have the experience then leave it alone.
Because I have to return this phone to someone tomorrow but I thought I was bringing in some business for people but I know now some people just want to stay living at home with mother. So good luck watching Jerry all your life. Anyone
who has someone who can refer me to a real flasher or tech person no more people in the state of Pennsylvania all of them have been crooks. Sorry S. Bonner but you are hitting the #2 on the list. But anyway I need to get in touch with someone who will get paid as long as the job is done 100% and I am talking remote flashing nothing more and rooting. Remember if you live in the State of Pennsylvania don't bother me I want people who want to work.

Looking for a couple brave testers

So I just bought a Slide on eBay, but I wanna go ahead and get things started.
I can do most of the work I think right now before the phone (since it's Sense 3), but I'll need a few brave testers with ADB knowledge and who aren't afraid to flash things.

Somebody help this bro out, he does good work.

You should try this forum:
http://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones_data_devices/android/mytouch_4g_slide?view=all
It seems like most of the people on here like our phones and want to root and rom them, while the people on the t-mobile forum want to complain and cry. I'm sure you'd have pretty good luck on there lowballing someone for their phone!

Got one on eBay a couple of minutes ago. See you guys on the other side . Thanks for the replies.

Sweet can't wait to see what you can do with this phone!

If you don't mind me asking, how much was it on eBay?
I currently have a MT3GS I bought from Craigslist awhile back - got a pretty good deal from someone who decided he'd rather have an iphone, it came with the original box and all the stuff.
Been debating on whether it was worth an update to a 4GS.

It was $340... it said it was refurbished so I jumped on it. That's just around the price range I was looking for, too (extremely hopeful price range).
$400 seems to be the area in which the used ones are selling for...

I did, and I LOVE it! Man if you ported that to our phone I would be eternally grateful, and your phone would have cost you a little less $$$ if you know what I mean

I updated the OP. If anyone is interested please post here.
I'm going to start porting some of the features today and need some testers .

You know I'm in!

I've been one of the ones to dive in headfirst around here so i'll help as I can.
This week, and next, are gonna be real tight on time for me. I still have a few threads around here I have to update...and just can't get more then a few minutes in front of a terminal at a time.
When I get the chance to update my threads, I can sit here and have the phone installing (or whatever) while I do.
Glad to see another dev jumping into the pool here with the MT4GS - it's a sick piece of hardware.

Your list has made it incredibly easy to list out all the apps (I usually have to go through them one by one and try and figure everything out, usually takes 1-2 hours per phone )
Anyways, I can't test it as I don't have the phone yet but Bloater should be setup for it. At least for the apps and stuff. I'll have to add WiFi calling later.
Test it out and let me know what works and what doesn't. I tried not to include anything I wasn't sure about or anything that could be potentially harmful to remove.
If it doesn't recognize something as installed or uninstalled it just means my MD5s mismatch what it was expecting, easy fix.
Install it as a normal APK

I can new a lab rat if needed as I still haven't committed to this as a dd
Sent from my HTC Doubleshot using xda premium

I'll be willing to test!

Are any of you guys familiar with IRC? This may be easier to do everything there instead of posting back and fourth.
We could try #mt4gs @ freenode
Other than that, I may have my statusbar mods ported today. Just need to fix the resource IDs up I think. I'll need to have someone test.
I'm using Paul's deodex as a base for now since I couldn't find an RUU. So if anyone is running that, you'll just have to flash two files over to test if this works or not .

http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=mt4gs
Someone join so I can use you as a test dummy!

Do devs have a sidekick yet?

Hey guys, I'm gonna be getting the Sensation in about 2 weeks and I would really like to help out development for the Sidekick 4G in some way. Since I don't have much knowledge in programming, I am willing to help out with giving a Sidekick to the devs here. I just got a replacement for my warranty so the phone is pretty much like new and I won't be using it at all. I don't know how much this phone goes on ebay, and I'm not sure if this is already been taking care of, but I'd be willing to help out.
Please let me know.

I'm looking for a loaner. See this post.
But, if any other devs think they can get CM7 or CM9 on SK4G better then I can, I yield to them.
Or if you are more interested in getting money for the phone, it's probably better you get money.
EDIT: Also, I'm hanging out on freenode on #teamacid and #sk4g in case anyone wants to chat.
Directions for #teamacid are here.

[Q] Nexus 5 unusual netwok drop

Hi guys a new user here and need assistance with one issue that i am facing with a month old google nexus 5. The phone came out of the box with 4.4.2 version of android and after i upgraded using OTA to 4.4.4 i've noticed that after the call disconnects the network bar goes zero for 5 sec and then come back to full strength which was not there before the OTA.
I've read some forums about this and came to know that i am not alone and similar issue have been reported by many users. I thought this issue might be addressed recent lollipop update however issue still remains. Ill be honest with you guys since the phone is new i am not willing to take risk of flashing as i am new to it. I would appereciate if someone can assist me with scratch how to get this sorted
Thanks in advance!!

Welp, I would recommend you try various radios but since you have an aversion to flashing I don't know what to tell you. This "risk" you speak of is pretty much nonexistent with the N5 as it's damn near impossible to brick. I mean, the N5 was pretty much built for flashing so if I were you I'd at least dip your toes in the water. You're in the right place, there are a ton of guides to follow and friendly folk willing to help. Just gotta put a little effort in.

Thanks so ill give it a try for sure and its like i would need the guide from scratch as i am a neewbie onto this. So i am from India so which radio should i go for and is there any infomation that you may need to assist with me with which perticular radio will work in my region please do let me know.
The phone doesn't drop any signal while i am talking over the phone and its not that frequent as well. However whenever i notice this it annoys me a lot so ill prefer getting rid of that. This phone that i got is after 7 RMA to the website which i bought from and finally this was the device that came with like no issue with the display as in stuck or dead pixels like others.
Please suggest me something and i am ready to move forward on this

Like I said man, there are a ton of guides, just do some searching and lots of reading. People here like to help others who first try to help themselves, and I am the same way. That said, I'm not gonna hold your hand and walk you through it, but if you figure out what you need to do and hit a bump in the road, ask away and I'll have no problem helping out. The best way to learn something is to figure it out yourself, and that's the honest truth.
Start here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/faq-to-android-read-post-root-t2508292

Sure thing, ill post in here with all the info found on the forums for this and accordingly will request you for suggestion if that is going to work for me or not. Thanks for atleast guiding from where i would need to proceed from.

Theres tons more to it then this. This is just basic. If u have any questions about any of this info ask please. This is a mess

submit error report to samsung members app > get help > error report . then title it something like "I've been hacked" or "suspected hacking"
there is a separate team that handles hacking issues at samsung. Hope you get your $ back (this part you'll have to talk to your bank and ask for help for suspected theft/hack/fraud)

Yeah, I tried that on advice from a co worker. Samsung said I was pretty much screwed on return cause it was a At&t problem. So At&t trouble shot, but did no good. Is there no way to just find out what happened an when? I appreciate you commenting. Please anymore advice will be greatly appreciated.

did you call samsung or did you report error as I suggested? calling them only gets you to Customer Service agent that works off of scripts.
Reporting error gets it to the engineers who look through the logs and analyze device events.
If it is hacking then as noted before, the team that deals with hacking will help you out... otherwise samsung engineers should be able to identify what the potential cause of this is.
Similar with AT&T, unless the engineers have the device with them or is able to look into the software to analyze the events recorded... there's not a whole lot they can do.
If you've already submitted an issue ticket and that's the reply that you got back... then I don't know what else to tell you

Go to the police? You seem to have some answers already if you suspect sim cloning...

yea... that could be one option I suppose. As long as you don't mind making the 'friend' relationship awkward a.f. by bringing in the police. If they aren't that close in the frist place and you can manage to break ties with them, then sure... I'd go for it as well.

unlock as in root the phone or unlock as in release the phone from being locked to Tmobile? if the latter, then you just need to pay off the phone or wait a few months (depends on the TMobile rules on unlocking the phone) and ask for the phone to be unlocked.
