[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mfarlow:
I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on a new FUZE. Before I do, I was hoping some current owners could answer a few questions for me. I'm not a newbie to smart phones or WinMo, so I do understand some of the limitations of the device. My last phone wasn't a smart phone and I sorely miss not having it.

I was at the local AT&T shop to play with the FUZE in person, and honestly I wasn't at all impressed with the speed or the interface.

The sensitivity of touch was pretty bad, and I really had to push on the screen for it to register my finger. I've read on these boards that the sensitivity can be changed, so my question is, Can it be changed enough to be usable? It was pretty bad in the showroom.

The lag of the device was totally unacceptable to me. I would often not know if a key-press or screen gesture actually worked, and found myself hitting the key multiple times, only to realize it had registered the first time, but was taking forever to respond. I've read here that flashing the ROM and other tweaks improve the lag time, but does it improve it enough? Is there any lag time after using a cooked ROM? I understand that things may lag on occasion, but if there is a lag for most functions, I don't think I could put up with it too long.

Web browsing was a test of patience to say the least. It took a very long time for any page to load, and when it did load, it seemed to render in chunks very slowly. I was often confused if the page was even fully loaded after a minute or two. Is this experience to be expected, or can it be it be fixed?

I may just be confused about the contacts section. Do you have to scroll through each individual contact to get to the one you want? I have a couple hundred contacts in my phone now, and if I need to get to someone who starts with "N", that would take quite a while. I'm sure there is a better way, and I would just need to find out how to do it, but I wanted to ask first, as this could be a huge deal breaker for me.

It took me a while to find the call history on the phone. It seems like it's buried pretty deep. Is there anyway to modify the Touchflo3d icons to point to items I frequently use? I mean really I don't need the AT&T icon there at all, since I'll never use any of those features. I'd much rather have my call history available from the menu. Is this even possible?

I've read a lot of comments about the D-pad. I'm a gamer when on the road, so I need to make sure this phone will be able to handle my gaming needs. I didn't have the opportunity to try any games on it. Is the D-pad really an issue, and if it is, has there been a workaround?

I love the idea of having a touch screen. I need a phone that offers easy to use messaging and email features. I want simple access to my contacts, and easy to use phone functions. I also want a good web browsing experience, access to my MP3 files, and video files, as well as a decent gaming platform. Oh and I do like to tweak my toys. Is this the phone for me, or should I be looking at something different?

I appreciate anyone taking the time to answer any of these questions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
i have a fuze and love it alot. the sensitivity on the touch screen was bad until you change the registry key that controls it and of course a good screen calibration. its set for such a heavy touch. i changed it to ultrasensitive and its like using an iphone now. there are alot of registry keys to increase the performance. its real easy with diamond tf3d config app. best choice is to flash to a new rom though. the oem rom is junked up with so much crap. diamond tf3d conifig will help you change touch flo 3d to your liking. as far as a gaming device the dpad is a difficult thing to use tbh. and with the graphics drivers still not working right its not a good gaming device. in every other context, it is a good phone. it just takes some work to get it there.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mfarlow:
Thanks for the input TJOC.

How is the FUZE as a phone? I mean, how easy is it to access your contacts, voice mail, or just make a call?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jdomi99:
Best phone I have had. Most of what you point out in your message can be adjusted automatically or via a tweak or registry change. You would like this flexibility on something you own.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
its not bad. the call history, calendar, voicemail (only if you have some messages) and contacts are right on the home tab. you can actually change the softkeys on the home tab to do other actions for you too. theres also one tab to the right called people which is a neat flippy interface if you assign pictures. when i go to my people tab it actually crashes touch flo 3d. i have to figure out what i did to make it do that.

i do have to say that for an htc phone it is the best for being a phone. ive used quite a few htc phones and they always have issues like bad signal, and most notably the volume and call quality have been pretty awful. but on the fuze its loud and clear.

that said its still not a phone for everyone. if you use speakerphone alot, then this may not be the phone for you. and alot of people cant handle windows mobile (i always say wm is not for beginners hehe). i would say try out the phone. att will let you take it back if you dont like it. and i wont call you crazy if you say you dont.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mfarlow:
Speaker phone not too much an issue for me. I'm familiar with WinMo, so that won't be a problem either, heck I still use my Dell Axim :D

I think I'm going to take your advice, and just grab one. If I'm not happy I'll exchange it for a Bold or something.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jtoyz2:
I didnt like the Fuze stock as well but after tweaking it i love it, i would hard reset and then reset it right before it install all the att stuff back, when you get the phone and reinstall touchflo from the software column for raphael. that alone would make your device alot faster and then you can tweak it some mroe to make it even faster...since its your first Winmo phone read up on flashing and other themes or today screen...you can use other UI instead of TF3D just find one that you like. Cheers report back when you get the Fuze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] marinerjoe:
mfarlo,

I just got my Fuze a few days ago, and am loving it. I had a Cingular 8525 that I modified with new ROMs from this site. I'm looking forward to upgrading my Fuze after I see how it does out of the box.

I got a great deal going through myself when purchasing it. If you're interested in checking out what I can do for you, please let me know.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] misfitwrx:
i too was unhappy with the fuze when i tested it out in the store, but after reflashing RRE 4.4.5 custom rom this phone is amazing, the signal strength is awesome, call quality is crystal clear for me, and the phone is lightning quick. if you buy a fuze play with it for a few days while you are reading up on flashing a new rom as it is a must with this phone, its like night and day. the phone has been out for a while now and the roms on this site keep getting better and better, you will not be dissapointed if you buy it.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
the fuze/touch pro is a love or hate phone. as far as a windows mobile phone i would say this is the best there is. htc will not be out done when it comes to windows mobile phones. and no windows mobile devices have capacitive screens so its not the most brilliant for touch screen but its not bad tbh. good luck with your purchase and hopefully it will be as pleasant of an experience for you as it is for me.

somethings to remember, find a newer build of opera. i had downloaded build 15202 from this site. pages will load faster and theres some tweaks you can do to get 0 mobile websites. theres also a registry entry that will give you a zoom slider which is a nice touch for web pages than relying on the scroll wheel. and if you dont have good volume in a phone call, make a call to the phone and up the volume with the rocker during the call. it sounds weird but you can only adjust the call volume while making a call.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] MasterN02:
Get The Fuze!!!

After being almost scared away from the Fuze when I handled it in an AT&T store, I quickly went home and checked on XDA to see what could be done about the TERRIBLE performance. I found TONS of options for tweaks, fixes, and ROMs. After a LOT of reading and deliberating, I decided that the RRE HTC Fuze ROMs were for me. I'm currently running RRE v4.4.5SE which is AMAZING!!! My Fuze feels like it runs 1000% faster! It's great!

Get the Fuze; if you don't already know how, read about flashing; flash the RRE Fuze ROM (linked in my signature below), and ENJOY! You WON'T regret it!!!

Best of luck,

NR
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Sharing Confusion:
I have the Fuze and one of the bad things about it is the battery life, If you are really going to be on the phone alot I'd suggest buying an extra battery lik i did.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mfarlow:
Thanks for all the comments, I am now a proud owner of an AT&T FUZE.

First thing I did was remove all the bloatware as described in tyguy's excellent post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=459335

It looks like I'm going to be spending quite a bit of time tweaking this beast until I get it just the way I want it, but that's the draw for me. I could have grabbed an iPhone and had everything I needed, but where's the fun in that? When I'm done with my tweaks, I'll have a phone custom tailored to suite my needs. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
thats what i was thinking. the iphone doesnt need customization partially because you cant customize it to make it your own. the fuze may need alot of work when you take it out of the box but once you got it how you like it, its more made for you then an iphone. thats a downside for some people but ive been having loads of fun tinkering. my brother and my dad bough iphones and i poke at them doing things they cant, divx, tethering, garmin, taking pictures with flash, sending mms. i know theyre jealous because they bought the wrong phone. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] arthurbrownleeiv:
Moved to the FUZE from the Tilt and after missing my D-Pad for awhile until I figured out the Fuze's pad, I now miss nothing.

I've had a lot of excellent PDA/Phones over the years, and have been a WinMo guy since PocketPC2000, and the Fuze is just yet another small step closer to the perfect combination device. I just STILL want a bigger screen.

As far as battery life goes, I use it just as hard as my Tilt, and get a bit more life out of the battery. I'm not sure what the huge complaint is, a dead battery at the end of the night is a good day. A phone that goes DAYS on a charge I haven't had since my Motorola V60
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] The Jack of Clubs:
i miss the "dpad" from my ppc6700 (htc apache). it had a joystickish thing which worked well. but if im going to say i miss any one thing from that phone it would have to be the keyboard. you will never find a better keyboard on any other phone ever. and thats a challenge.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] rogershroed1991:
I was wondering if there are any apps to block specific phone numbers? Sometimes I get spam from party promoters and I have no idea how they got my number. And clingy ex-girlfriends :) As far as I know the only way to block numbers is to get your service provider to do it (I might be wrong?), so I thought it would be nice if there were an app that could do it for you, like you could enter a list of the numbers you want to block, and when you're looking at a list view of your text messages or call history, there would be a "block number" option. Is there anything like this?

I haven't tried this myself as I don't get any calls I need to block at the moment but this is supposed to do what you want (CallFirewall):

Hello all!

So I have a qtek 9100 and tried to flash with "ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship.exe", the installer started, the wizard was showing me the white screen and progress bar, sudently I get an eror message from pc, and guided to repair the erors. Meanwhile my phone gone off, and now it does not want to open, i tried hard reset, but seems nothing is bringing it back to life. I measured the battery and my voltmeter shows 3.8V, so i guess the battery is ok. I tried removing the battery and putting it back on but it doesn't turn on.If plug it in the wall charger, it doesn't lite up the charging led.

I'm kind of swetting...what can I do now?

try to take the battery off and wait in 10 minutes before you place it in.. try to on it after that.. that might help.. have heard it has helped many here in this forum.. either your bricked it or not.. 10 minutes will or might show..

[General Topics] bast525:
I have done a search, looked at the Wiki and other articles describing exactly what page pool is and what it is used for. I have been flashing ROMs on my Touch Pro and trying different page pool sizes, but haven't really seen a noticeable effect, other than how much RAM I have I have available after a soft reset. I tried page pools ranging from the stock 6 all the way to 32 MB and really can't say I saw any noticeable performance increase or decrease.

Maybe I wasn't looking in the right place? Where do you tend to see better performance from a larger page pool? Why would more page pool benefit more than having more free RAM?
[General Topics] forforce:
Yeah..that question is bothering me too....As I noticed .... I used 5mb pool page and in netfront sometimes I had ,,cannot load page..low memory " ..smthing like that. Now with 6mb as I surfed ...I didn`t had that problem with the memory yet. I dunno maybe is because of the bigger poolpage that I have now on this rom.
[General Topics] bast525:
wow... really? No one here feels like answering this question huh?
[General Topics] Rudegar:
there is no answer depend on the apps one use

and how many apps one wish to run at the time

lower page pool mean lower io speed == slower programs which depend on

loading stuff

lower ram mean few apps running at once without running out of mem

I wrote this guide in italian because my english it's not good and this is only an italian device.

[ITALIANO]

Questa guida si prefissa fondamentalmente un obiettivo, quello di aiutarvi ad effettuare l'upgrade a Windows Mobile 6.1 del vostro dispositivo HTC Touch Find brandizzato Tim.

Molti si chiedono ma è possibile aggiornare il mio Touch Find dal sito HTC visto che è uguale al Touch Cruise?

Purtroppo in giro non si trovano risposte e ci si scoraggia subito, l'htc non rilascia un update per questo cellulare in quanto la Rom che integra è proprietaria Tim, come sempre una grande dimostrazione di costumer care dalla Tim, mentre la O2 ha da tempo rilasciato l'aggiornamento per l'Orbit.

Tuttavia oggi sono qui per dirvi che è possibile aggiornare il vostro dispositivo, quindi armatevi di coraggio e seguite la guida se volete windows mobile 6.1 sul vostro telefono.

PREMESSE:

Non mi assumo nessuna responsabilità di eventuali danni e o problemi che riscontrerete nel procedimento.

Il procedimento di seguito illustrato invaliderà la garanzia del prodotto. L'unico modo per ri-ottenerla sarebbe ripristinare la rom tim, ma per quanto ne so è introvabile. (ammesso che all'assistenza tecnica se ne accorgano).

Prima di iniziare assicuratevi che il vostro telefono abbia la batteria carica e non dia alcun problema di comunicazione con il pc.

Non usate computer del dopo guerra o computer instabili per questa procedura.

Non scollegate il telefono dal computer e non interagite con questo in nessun modo durante l'aggiornamento.

Questo procedimento è rischioso e potrebbe danneggiare irreparabilmente il vostro cellulare.

La prima cosa che dovete fare è procurarvi questo software Hard-SPL, quindi scaricatelo.

Fate un backup dei dati.

Collegate il vostro cellulare.

eseguite Hard-SPL.

Seguite passo passo ogni indicazione del programma.

Ora il vostro Polaris 200 è sbloccato, ma avete ancora Windows Mobile 6.0.

Si prospettano davanti a voi molte alternative, se installare Rom cucinate, rom che integrano manila 2d, oppure se fare la miglior cosa, quella che consiglio io, installare la rom originale per Touch Cruise che trovate qui.

Seguite tutti i passaggi dell'installer et voilà, è finita, il vostro touch find ora gira su windows mobile 6.1.

Godetevelo. :D:D:D

Ciao!

Mi chiedevo se questa guida è ancora valida (per il mio Htc Touch Find) e ed eventualmente se è consigliato il passaggio direttamente al WM 6.5.

:p
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] francescohtc:
ITA:

Si questa guida è ancora valida, puoi usare una qualsiasi rom cucinata per polaris facendo attenzione a quale installi (anche wm 6.5 che funziona da paura), ovviamente ricordati di utilizzare l'ultima versione disponibile dell'hard spl.

ENG:

Yes this guide is still valid, you can use any cooked rom for polaris being careful what you install (also WM 6.5 that works as fear), of course remember to use the latest version of the hard spl.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] moticanus:
Intanto grazie per la pronta risposta!! ;)

Dunque: per quanto riguarda l'hard spl penso che questo dovrebbe andare bene. Correggimi se sbaglio!

Il problema è trovare una rom 6.5 senza sbagliare. Quella indicata qui se non ho capito male ha un problema con il bluetooth. A me andrebbe bene un rom che mi garantisca le funzionalità che ho adesso...puoi darmi qualche suggerimento?! Ho capito male ho è possibile installare una originale?

Infine - e chiudo - nella guida non parli di Radio. Non va pure aggiornata?

Grazie mille!
