Somehow I suspect you live on the East Coast. My whole time growing up and living on the West Coast, there's only a few people I know that didn't complain about Sprint. Actually, Sprint is the only carrier that people around here have a serious problem with. I worked for a company for a short time that had a lot of people travel from Tennessee to here and each of them used Sprint, they all said that they had the best experience with it until they came here, then it was nearly unusable. Obviously, it's just like radio versions, quality depends entirely on the circumstances.

I do have to say, several months ago I drove from southern California most of the way up the west coast, downloaded a few movies and tv shows, then did the same on the trip back 2 weeks later. While I didn't count total amounts, the video alone had to be at least 4 gigs. That didn't count any of my data usage with web browsing or any time between trips. I also only had 3 dropped signals in more than 1000 miles (once in the desert, once at shasta mountain, and once in a mountain pass in southern oregon). On this coast, in my experience, AT&T is pretty rock solid and Sprint is difficult to use. Not sure about Verizon or TMo though, not many friends on either of those.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sc00basteve:
That makes sense

It does make sense. I was out in San Francisco a couple of years ago, when I had ATT, and it was really solid.

But Sprint users, fear not. I was talking to a teir2 tech a couple month ago and he was part of the citywide testing for WiMax in Seattle. I think it was Seattle, at least. Anyway, Baltimore rollout is functional and rollout + testing in many cities is an awesome sign.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] freekquency:
ahhahaha sprint. Yea go for sprint, if you want a network that will be bought up soon. I cannot tell you how many sprint people have been laid off in the past 5 months. (cell techs+) They are almost ready to go belly up. And the 4g is a joke.

First they plopped all the 4g's on teh ground and started hooking them up. Then they went out and pulled them all and now they are beginning to put them back.. (my guess is so whoever buys them will see the numbers)

bottom line.... i wouldnt touch sprint w/ a 10foot pole right now.

At least MetroPCS is transparent. They are basically building verizon's new sites. hahahah Cdma2000 and 4g ready. lolz
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] allthatinny:
well this is a bit off topic but here we go again, att practically embrass themself at the apple WWDC, no MMS support of iPhone, NO TETHERING,

and if ur a existing att customer and want to buy the new iphone u gotta pay any where from 299-399 with a new 2 YEAR CONTRACT, pfft not going through that again if i cant even stream sling media over they network, att can kiss my a$$
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] speed_pour:
I kinda hoped to be done with this thread, but I was already reading the WWDC coverage and got a huge laugh and the coverage (the fact that they described the entire hall laughing at the tethering support issue). In point of fact, Apple is lying...a LOT.

MMS support is missing because Apple implemented the MMS protocol differently than virtually every handset maker in the world. The "upgrades" aren't performance upgrades, they are functional upgrades to support the alternate implementation. The story I heard from one of the techs is that AT&T wasn't made aware of this until just a few months ago and they weren't given time to implement software upgrades.

Tethering support has nothing to do with performance (though that's obviously going to be an issue). It's all about Apple and AT&T STILL discussing the pricing for the tethering plan. My theory, worth little more than a grain of salt, is that apple is trying to take a cut of tethering on top of the profits they already get from each plan...why else does apple need to negotiate when at&t already has set prices for this feature.

As to pricing...I don't see why everybody is throwing a huge fuss...Does every iphone user think they are god's children? If they want to upgrade their phone every year, they need to either be ready to pay a high price or have an upgrade coming. If Apple expects people to do this, then they should either create an trade-in plan, or some special mail-in rebate offer to existing iphone owners. That's not a carrier's job, not when the handsets are already subsidized so heavily.

The hardware upgrades for apple are laughable anyway. The new handset only comes with an upgraded camera and they finally flipped the switch on video recording that every jailbroken phone already had. Apple is just soaking their fanboys for money. I'm expecting 3G owners are going to see a tutorial in 2 months on how to replace the existing camera with the 3 megapixel one from the 3gs. Combined with jailbreaking, 3g owners will be able to have a 3gs at the cost of throwing out their warranty and buying a $30 replacement camera component.

hi,

I am facing a problem with my kaiser.

I've been having it for 1 year now, changed lots of roms and was working perfectly.

Suddenly now i am facing problems with the phone.

I am having a full signal but when they call me most of the times it doesn't ring and after 4-5 minutes i receive a message from my provider that i have missed calls.

Also when i call someone the phone hangs up after 1-2 minutes of conversation.

There are times that is loosing signal, can't find network etc..

I am facing lot's of strange problems, i tried changing all kind of Radios and ROMs but nothing fixed this problem :(

Anybody has an idea?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Well, I know this isn't too helpful, but can you try your sim in another phone to see what happens?

Oh and can you share more about where you are and whats on your phone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MegaHz:
hi and thanks for your reply

i am from Cyprus using the CYTA-VODAFONE provider.

i have the PDAcorner Ultimate v2 ROM installed but as i have stated above, i have tried also other ROMS including the original rom that was originally installed on the phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mycell:
What radio do you have installed?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MegaHz:
i tried from 1.65 many version to 1.71..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MegaHz:
finaly the local htc service center told me that the problem is with the power module chip, and that is not replaceable.

anybody knows if this is right?
[G1 General] xvemokidvx:
Hey guys, I tried searching for a possible solution but im all out of ideas. I just got this phone a little over 2 weeks ago (crappy right) and it just started acting up on me and progressively getting worse. Its firmware version 1.1 and its RC33, so the newest update aside from cupcake. This started maybe 2 days ago with my maps application randomly crashing after going to street view and once it force closes it doesnt open again. So I figured do a factory reset. The first thing I do is open maps, go to laitude load my friends and boom force close again... wont open... factory reset... now as soon as the phone starts doing initial setup, google maps force closes, without me pushing a button. Ive called tmobile and they offered to ship out a new phone for me but ive been hoping that I get the cupcake update soon so maybe this issue will be fixed without having to get a refurb phone. Tonight I found out that I can download an update and rename it and use alt L to load the RC33 update. I did that, did a wipe and it is still wanting to force close before I put in my login info for google... I dont understand it at all... Also, I have an application that automatically installs (antivirus) every time I factory reset and Id like to get that permantely removed and foobook and Facebook Sync download all by themselves and install randomly after a reset aswell. I dont want to have to root the phone (yet) just because I want to keep the waranty and I dont want a new phone... anyone have any ideas on how to fix this one? maybe downgrade my RC and upgrade again? any help is appreciated.. THANKS!!!
[G1 General] Dayzee:
I'm having this prob too and there's a thread on google com about it but no solution. Still no ideas? I thought mine may be to do with 1.51 update I just did but I've not used Maps for weeks before this so may not be linked.

Dayz
[G1 General] Dayzee:
Dunno if my problem was the same as yours but I did solve mine by clearing the data and the cache in Applications manager in settings.

I did a soft reset just to make sure - then I tried maps again and I was up and running (with Latitude too as I'd just installed JF1.51 Cupcake.

Worth a try? I have Caches on SD but am not sure if they still are as sometimes a reset thru Apps manager breaks the Cache to SD links.

Is it possible to sync calendar/contacts over 3g to my computer?

Sometimes, I would add some appointments on my phone and would like that to sync automatically to my computer and vice versa. I don't want to do it over USB all the time.

Is it possible?

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] fdls:
You can use the Microsoft exchange server. Then it uses your 3g connection. I only haven’t found a way to sync my hotmail with the 3g connection..

Hi I've done every possible guide to unlock my hermes ive got a virgin payg sim im running manila v16 rom and radio 1.56. There is signal on the bar and the hermes recognises the net work but when i try to make a call it ends straight away.

any links to a better guide or a simple solution

help please cheers shane

oh and ive done sim cid unlock
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
If you bought it 2nd hand theres a chance it was stolen, or there have been unpaid bills, cotract has been broken and IMEI has been blocked. You won't be able to call... :(

Otherwise, check your radio version, its in your settings. If its not there then it means you need to reflash your STOCK Radio ROM. This might fix it or might not, though as you've said you have signal its more likely that the phone IMEI has been blocked.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] monx®:
I vote for option #3 :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] excilion:
I vote 1.

I totally agree with everything you said, but 6.5 is only a "wait for 7" thing. it even wasn't on the roadmap first.

all the changes and improvements you're asking for will come with WM7. So I'm fully happy with 6.5 which is a good transition OS.

the only drawback being it seems we'll have to wait some more for wm7.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] wrxnoddy:
not a fan at all really just because of some simple problems ive run into on about 4 different builds.

Feels like an iphone sometimes it decides im not allowed to copy paste text of messages etc WTF?

i cant reply to text messages from OS i need to make a new message and select the contact.

sending messages longer than 160 letters don't seem to work.

i think there were some more big ones.

once theres fixed ill LOVE it
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] black_mobility:
I read an article that pretty much clarified how Microsoft rushed through the design of 6.5 and it’s apparent. 6.5 is decent but the upgrade wasn’t significant enough to stir me away from TF3D2. I am currently using Energy Rom 3.0 and never use the Titanium home screen. I would more inclined to use Titanium if there was an option to maintain the classical start menu drop down but I guess I have to adapt to change. Or do I?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aussieak:
After waiting 3 months for my warranty claim I flash to Proven 4.2 with 6.5 and I can just say

1. ROM is faster then Stock 6.1 with TF and after tweaks and even Proven 2.4 version.

I like the home screen but miss some of the features of TF like Sound Profiles. Which I used constantlly. Finger control is great and I use my stylus less now almost never.

Hates:

When you close and application it always goes back to the home screen rather then the start screen you were in. This is painful like I pressed the wrong icon and I just want the app to close and go back one level not to the home screen.

Loving the plugins that are becomming available just makes the touch PRo easier to use.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] adeltaY:
I absolutely love it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] player911:
Well cool thing about the Titanium homescreen is that is supports plugins and can be completely customizable. Already there are Audio Profile pages, Analog Clocks, Twitter, facebook, etc.

I just find HTC TouchFlo 3D homescreen far too "clunky" and kills the overall speed of the phone just to use it. When I use that I find myself launching apps and starting tasks I didn't want to do.

I really like the WM6.5 upgrade. The biggest thing I wish they finished was an updated dialer and their 1990's SIP keyboard. I mean the keyboard was the original keyboard from their original versions. They shoulda even threw in an updated volume app while they were at it.

When everything is said and done, WM6.5 just allows for less reliance on 3rd party apps. With the speed boosts and awesome finger friendly upgrades... it is a welcome addition to my Fuze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] votum:
6.5 is just that. .5

They did enough to release a .5 and not another .1 in my opinion. And I want them to rip off other peoples ideas, why would you not? You said yourself apple and RIM are beating them [although I honestly doubt that, RIM is business oriented, apple is idiot oriented, and winmo is general user oriented] so why would you not want MS to pull together the best of the best and give it to us? 7 is going to be just as much of a landmark as desktop 7. I dont know if you used it, but the beta was leaps better than vista and ready to go 99% out of the box. I had a few software issues, but nothing deal-breaking. 7 is running on eeePCs, that says something for it. It is running better than XP on older machines, another good thing. 7 is just great. I have no doubts that winmo 7 will be great. They will take winmo 6, overhaul it, create something prettier, more efficient, and faster, and the betas are going to be damn near stable. I for one am looking forward to MS version of the app store which will be part of 7.

Winmo still holds the market, like I said above:

RIM - business users

Apple - idiots

winmo - General users.....IE----the most :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aceofspades1217:
Well nothing wrong with ripping off of other people's ideas a little bit...after all thats convergent evolution. You aren't going to say a dolphin is bad because it ripped off a fish's idea.

But ripping off other people's ideas is no replacement for innovation. If microsoft stays one step behind apple and RIM then winmo will always be an outdated OS. And you can't just mash a bunch of random ideas and hope it sticks. Thats what vista was...it was ideas mashed up from Linux and Mac and it turned out to be even worse.

And Apple and RIM are taking over winmo marketshare hand over fist...when will HTC and microsoft put out some damn conductive screen phones...i mean...seriously!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] redbandana:
absolutely hated it at first because it made me feel like i was using an htc s621, not to say that is a bad device or anything but the feel is too basic.

However, chefs started taking a liking towards it and I personally cannot make a rom that is satisfying enough to keep it on my device more than a few hours. Therefore, considering the chefs started utilizing it more in their builds, developers began creating programs and widgets for it. Overall, like m2d and tf3d, I hated both of them at first (so used to the simplicity of HTC Home) but eventually you start to notice creative people on XDA changing a mediocre OS into a work of art.

So cheers

EDIT: But then again, this poll/thread should not even be in the Rom development section.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] crlowryjr:
Luvin 6.5

I'm one, of what seems to be a minority of people that really just doesn't like TF3D.

My personal opinion is that TF3D is gimmicky, lacks consistency & sucks when it comes to flexibility - unless you're willing to jump in and start hacking away (not something the average person wants to do).

The new interface in 6.5 is more consistent (menus, colors, tabs ...) and is pretty easy to plug Titanium apps into. I'm really luvin what feels to be the UI we should have gotten in the 1st place. A classic example of 'different tastes for different people'.

Can't wait for WM7

---Rob
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] reluttr:
Well TF3D2 did have me, because honestly WMP sucks when trying to use it without a stylus, plus its a gigantic memory hog. Where the media player in TF3D was very finger friendly and didnt use not very much ram at all.

However, I discovered pocket player 4 :D and lets just say that I dont use TF3d anymore and I throughly enjoy chrome.

Honestly if I wanted microsoft to fix anything it would be WMP, they either need to seriously update and optimize it or replace it with a optimized finger friendly zune application "which would fit right in with chrome imo".

Then again if chrome had a plugin that had basic swip controls "play, next song, previous, past, ect" then had a finger friendly media library in the softkey, they could even use the htc media manager to play it. Basically this would be porting the TF3D music tab to chrome....
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aceofspades1217:
yah you and me both. TF3D also takes up an ass load of memory and sucks down battery like a mofo.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] p51d007:
Much improved for me on my Fuze. 6.1 was pretty good, I had to tweak the video, interface etc to get the "snap" out of it, but 6.5 out of the box (RRE's 6.5), faster than 6.1. After a couple minor tweaks, faster than that!

Chrome taking a little getting use to because i used TF3D for over a year, but,

chrome is a little nicer, less closing windows after you get done doing something.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] blanket:
right there with you

tf3d was and still is the first thing i disable whenever i flash a new rom

my first experience with it lasted for 10 mins and it didn't impress me with it's sluggish speed

ms today screen ftw!

hahaha
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] corepda:
Offcourse its better, who said its not. Moreover yes we do like to have always more no matter even if they are going to release WM9 :D

But I am worried they being inefficient in power consumption.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] cunn8780:
I have definitely enjoyed 6.5 over 6.1 by a long shot. I agree with most people that MS still has a ways to go though, and hopefully will get close with windows mobile 7. 6.5 was a good hold over until that point though. I do hope that MS gets very creative with 7 because I am tired of incremental updates when you can almost taste how good your Windows phone could be. I will be a windows phone user for life because I don't fall for gimmicks from Apple, and obviously with this great community there will be plenty of innovation to come.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Pumpiron579:
I don't like it at all. WM 6.5 just seems like it should be made for a smart phones.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] gmanfuzing:
really now , why even post this when 6.5 is not officially released lol . we don even know what the real 6.5 is like !

anyways i voted for the first option because if you try NRG's roms then youd see what a rom is supposed to be like . ive not had one of these random text message problems or soft reseting problems or hard reseting problems atall . maybe you should widen your search of which cabs are good .
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Natedogs911:
6.5 is a good start but needs to be melted down and poured into a new mold.

i tried the stock rom for several weeks, had to softreset every couple of hours if that. several roms later i tried da_gs clean 6.5 roms and its been the most reliable. i softreset once a day just cause i think its something i should do!

there are still bugs in 6.5 but overall the phone performs nearly as intended!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hitekdude:
i think that 6.5 is way more finger friendly a little buggy at first like anything but now is stable for everyday use, thanks to all the chef's cookin' in the kitchen'

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] :
Aside form little quirks that have not been resolved yet (like going to the home screen instead of back screen as the post above mine states) because its still being developed (hell, some companies dont even have a copy yet or are just bairly getting one), it seems to be a lot more optimized and expanded than 6.1 and even now with new 6.1 builds still in production, they still have little quirks and is far from being a perfect OS.

If you weigh the two together like speed, performance, responsiveness, accuracy, and then the finger vs. stylus issues; I think that 6.5 wins over 6.1 and has a lot more potential to grow/improve whereas 6.1 seems that its just about tapped out and optimized as far as its going to go.

Just my two cents.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HelterSkelter67:
isn't /endrant redundant?

why not just [rant] [/rant] :P
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] smoothunit:
Newer builds i.e 21725 have a new keyboard.dll which maps the home key to start (ala windows key) and back button now works as it should.

Just thought I'd throw my .2c in.

I've been running 6.5 since the early build and am loving it...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] rh3522:
I hate the new start screen. before i could put my most used applications on there and have it a click away. Now I have to scroll through it if its a newly added application, or if guess which folder its in. It was a very difficult task the other night when I was drunk in the woods looking for my flashlight application.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] GSLEON3:
To quote Apple..."There's an app for that".

Try Re/Start.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dcelluser:
I choose option 3 :)

The one option that is keeping me grounded to 6.5 is the new way that the softmenu works. Man HTC tried twice to fix this annoyance but enlarging it first (that caused more annoyances) and then making their own in the new Rhodium and Topaz. Man so finger friendly and no more accidents!

The new Titanium is nice too. It's simple and efficient and barely uses memory and battery. Before I switched to 6.5 I made a clean 6.1 ROM of my own just for running SPB Mobile Shell but my battery would drain after 12 hours! For once I actually used my internet heavy and my battery lasted a whole weekend! :eek:

But it still feels beta. Feels like something is missing that was left out, maybe saved for 7? :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] AkumaMax:
The one thing I'm kinda iffy about is the Start menu setup. Allthough when your on titanium it makes sense to have it like that. Also wish they would have replaced WMPlayer with the Zune player. IMO it's far more friendly!
