lemme ask you guys a question, those of you who have yours already. I got mine at 10 in the morning.. just like the rest of you impatient ones.. took it home and started playing with it. When you tilt it, does it go back down a little bit after you let go of the screen? With mine, i tilt it, it goes to the 50 degree mark and then back down a little bit it seems like. To about... about a 45 degree angle. something to be concerned about? i mean, i did shell out over 400 dollars on this phone.. insurance and all...

thanks guys. :].

mine does the same. don't worry about it.

For those of you who just got this phone in the US on the TMo network, I am curious to know how your coverage works out. Do you get as many bars as you did with your old phone?? Do you notice any weakness in your signal?

I ask b/c mine gives me a very weak signal...1-2 bars. Lots of dropped calls at the house.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] f1ip:
I get the same in my room.. EDGE!!

signal is not good enough for 3G.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] teKnoLogic:
I get better reception than I did previously on my G1, for sure. Actually I get 3G speeds in place I didn't before as well.

So all in all, I'm having a much better experience.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
Get a new city, lol.

Good to hear reception beats the G1!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] toadlife:
You poor babies. :p

T-mo's 3G network doesn't come within 35 miles of my house. :eek:

Hopefully it gets rolled out to my area in the lifespan of this phone but if not, oh well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fishwiz45:
my signal strength is 3 bars of 3g and strong, same as when i was on edge...tethering to my pc's is awesome though!!!the 3g is way faster than the wifi networks around:eek: definitely blows the edge tethering i did with my t-mo wing out of the water!! now i'm just salivating for some wm 6.5 on this thing...only half a day and i have flash withdrawls!!!!:o
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Combo22:
Got mine today for $349.99. All i can say is that this phone is the best thing since sliced bread! No complaints!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TheSapient:
I stopped into a T-Mobile store today to try out their demo unit, and I found the same thing. Some aspects of the Touch Flow interface were smooth (like flipping through pictures), but some were very choppy (like scrolling through program icons). Also, I found I could not scroll a web page in Opera more than a few mm without getting the checkerboard pattern.

I'm waiting on the Sprint version, but now I'm nervous. Were my expectations unreasonably high?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nkognegr0:
seems to me anyone in this forum has previously owned a windows mobile phone before so sorta know what to expect. the phones dont really change much they add a couple of features which usually are hacked onto other phones anyway. end of the day the 3.6 inch screen and the keyboard alone sold it for me. my local tmobile did not even get the phone. they didnt even have a poster or demo phone. now to get a bodyguard for it before it comes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jrodizzkool01:
i would get the phone if only t-mobile was smart enough to add in the 3.5mm headphone jack like all of the other US carriers do on their touch pros. I like the phone but if im willing to spend $300, i would like for it to also be a media player replacement so i can listen to music without fiddling through adapters. Bluetooth headsets dont cut it for me because i have a pair of Bose headphones that sound much better than any bluetooth headset ive seen

$230 Pro 2 from WireFly.com with 2 year TMo USA contract extension

You probably already know that TMo USA didn't live up to the upgrade price on the press release ($299/$279) or the price they were giving out on the phone yesterday ($225). You might have missed that around 3pm EST they switched the upgrade price from $380 to $350. And somewhere in there was a 3 year contract extension. I lost track.

BUT...

After seeing the deal tonight on WireFly.com ($200 w/new contract & $229 w/extension) I called WireFly. The WifeFly dude did a 3-way with TMobile, and the TMobile dude agreed to the following deal/process, and told me he will personally call me at 5pm tomorrow to finish the deal. The WireFly dude said he had processed "a lot" of these since 4pm EST today. Note: the WifeFly dude told me this price was only good until they close tonight and will be higher tomorrow. He did not give me any details on what the price would be tomorrow. I think he might have said that just to close the sale right tonight. We'll see tomorrow.

The deal:

I had the "$49.99 TMo Loyalty Unlimited" plan plus $24.99 total internet access. WireFly did a two year extension, but switched my plan to the "$49.99 1000 minute w/unlimited nights" plan plus $24.99 total internet access. This allowed WireFly to sell me the HTC Touch Pro 2 for $229 including 2 day shipping. TMo dude is supposed to call me at 5pm tomorrow an switch my plan back to the "$49.99 Loyalty Unlimited" plan, but I will now have a two year contract with a $200 early termination fee. (I haven't had a contract for over two years.)

Total Charged to CC:

$229.99 HTC Touch Pro 2 Mocha with 2 day delivery included

$ 9.99 include Car Charger: accessory

$ 9.99 include five screen protectors: accessory

$ 12.50 state tax

$262.47 TOTAL

An add'l $ 18.00 Activation fee will show on my Tmo bill.

TERMS: (there were more, but these were the highlights)

$200 early termination fee for canceling account during next 2 years.

TMo can change the plan fees any time they want, but if the fee goes up, I can cancel the contract without early termination fee.

"Up to $300 fee" for following during the next 181 days

must pay full balance on time for next 3 bills.

can not transfer phone to another phone number.

can not switch to a lower rate plan.

Can cancel purchase and contract anytime in next 14 days for any reason, but have to return phone in "new condition" within 30 days.

The WireFly dude was really on the ball. I read all the agreements and statements, etc. and it looked pretty good. If it turns out I got a raw deal, you can bet I will start a new thread about it and write a book. ; ) But is looked pretty good, so I went with it.

Hope this help you other XDA'ers who have been drooling over the Pro 2 while your MDA was slowly disintegrating, and then got the horrifying sticker shock today!

Good Luck!

FOLLOWUP: I received it today. TMo switched my plan back. Everything seems as advertised. Oh yeah, the TP2 ROCKS!!! No regrets. We have some work to do though...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kable:
Went to 3 Stores in San Jose before I found a store that had 1 left. Had them get the Loyalty dept on the phone to see about getting a better price than 349.00x24

and was denied any discount even after showing them that we have 6 phones with them and mine being the first to roll off the contract.. bastards..

Came home and saw that I can update to the TP2 through Wirefly.com for only 229.00.

That's a no brainer on which way I will go.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] NRGZ28:
Got one too today. Nice phone. I knew what to expect coming from a Touch HD. Compared to the HD the TP2 has a MUCH NICER screen (brighter and more vivid) but it is a little bit shorter and narrower than the HD's. It's about the same as my Fuze's screen in terms of quality.

Oh... and as soon as HardSPL is released I'm throwing my ROM on it which is waiting patiently on my hard drive. Hehe :)

Hopefully a "test" rom from Tmo will come down the pipe with 6.5 in it so I can flash it without HardSPL. Right now an ATT (6.5) ROM is floating out there for this phone... So ATT definitely has plans to release one and by the looks of it, it'll be 6.5!

p.s. The day HardSPL is released.. my ROM will be posted on the forum! heh
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] VizagDude:
Hey NRGZ, nice to see that you have a TP2 now. I am sure your ROMs will be a bang with Rohdium as well. I know exactly what you mean when talking with comparison of TP2 with HD. Neverthless, I have finally a 3G T-Mobile WM phone in the US.

On a seperate note, I just started a thead to fine a Reg Edit to make the Opera the default browser and the browser on the TF3D tab instead of the PIE. Do you think you could help us out with this issue...

Thank much.

What are energy ROMS? How many types are there?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] iceman4357:
lol, so how many of you guys are getting the T-mo version for At&t?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Maverick777:
I also did the wirefly deal as soon as I found out about it. Ordered the phone around 11am yesterday.

One thing to note with Wirefly and Letstalk; they don't actually have the phone in stock right now. So if you "need" to have the phone in hand soon, this is not the route to go. But if you're willing to wait, it's a hefty savings.

Since I was not told the phone was out of stock when I ordered, they waived the shipping charges. Once the phone is in stock they will send it to me via next day business shipping. It'll be a nice deal once I receive the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sdflip:
just got mine from t-mo yesterday. got a question though, how do u replace the IE icon to Opera on the browser shortcut IE sux FTL:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] RavenGirl:
I paid the full $350 price yesterday. Today I called customer care and spoke to them about the $279.95 price. The person I spoke to was more then happy to credit the difference to my account. So all and all I'm happy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MarkanthonY:
Has anyone paid full price on theirs? Do you know if I pay full price if I will have to upgrade to the full internet or can I keep my Tzones? Seeing as I will be paying full price and not having it subsidized by Tmo, wouldn't it be wrong for them to force me to upgrade?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
you have to pay for the data plan. $25 a month if u already have texting. $35 for combined data and txt. Pretty ****ty, but this was posted from the TP2, using the speedy 3G connection. YouTube vids start playing in about 30 seconds and don't buffer after that. Only complaint is that HTC stripped the auto-grammar correct WinMo uses. now I have to capitalize stuff myself, as you noticed it didnt capitalize "now" there, or it didnt add the aphostrophe on "didnt". Pretty lame.

But I'm happy with the accelerometer, lol. That game is fun.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] YodaJM:
I'm pretty sure if you pay the no commitment price then you won't have to upgrade, that's kind of the point of no commitment. But who knows with the scumbag teleco's.

You could try one of the many hero time. If u want something stable try one of the hero lite w/o rosie. Other than that most of the none hero time r built off cupcake like cyanogen's mod.

go for one of the jacmytouchski builds, i suggest 2.5.2

stable, fast, and pretty
[G1 General] XwXDv8XwX:
Cool...trying that one now ;) Thanx for the suggestions guys
[G1 General] Bedeadu:
Since the day we have been able to upgrade our Rogers phones, I have tried most of the ROMs out there. I agree that the jacmytouchski ROM is fast and stable. But, I really think you need to try out a hero build. I have tried a few, had most success with JACHero2.7.3. It wasn't a quick as the Cyanogen or jacmytouchski ROMs, but the interface and widgets are what make it so amazing. Put it this way, it was still much faster than my stock Rogers ROM, with no APP2SD. Currently I have nandroid backups of the two, cyanogen and JacHero, i swap them fairly often. I would stick with the HERO Build, but it doesn't have Bluetooth, which i need most the time.
[G1 General] imbonez9:

[G1 General] badaphooko01:
I've tried a bunch, but have had the most luck with cyanogen's 3.8.6.1. It has been the most stable for me with most all functions working, fast, and hardly any Forecloses. My only problem is that I cant find many cool themes for it. I will use this until his 4.0 comes out.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mahlberg:
Go to Settings - Security - Factory data reset

It saids that it erases all data on the phone. And if you have rooted your phone you should probably unroot it first.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nox0405:
Do I need to unroot first before go to factory data reset?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] phlo:
actually it does not matter what you do first.

But i would suggest to unroot first, because after factory reset the initial setup will start and you will be prompted to provide all different kind of stuff.

If you unroot first and factory reset its in first sale status and the new user will get the initial setup when he turns on the phone for the first time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enlightener:
You don't have to unroot if you don't want to. Factory reset just clears the /data partition, to root you have made changes to the /system partition. So if you want to unroot to you have to do it separately (there are some tutorials in this forum)

At first it may be a bit confusing why you quickly see an icon appear when you press OK/X.

Just press and hold the top right corner, you'll see this appear:

then slide your finger to the icon you want (task manager, X, return)

[Touch HD Accessories] abubakar:
I got mine from eBay. And for me, it wasn't as easy as I thought. I used to dissemble my previous HTC phones and I think the HD is the hardest so far. Maybe cause its slim so everything is packed tightly together?

I had a difficult time trying to pry open the antenna cover. Maybe I didn't get it right, or maybe mine was particularly light. I ended up chipping a part of my antenna cover off. Luckily Im replacing it so that didn't matter. wanted to change the bezel as well but I think I'll wait until there is a video tutorial before attempting again.

When I try to connect to a wireless access point at work with a static IP address it just shows connecting and never actually does. I can connect to other access points that use DHCP with no problem.

I am not responsible for any lost data or damage to your phone.

if you are installing a hero ROM for your first time visit this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534479

I have seen some people with Boot Loop Problems while trying to update a Hero ROM Here is a simple way to fix this issue. Hero ROM's cannot have any files in the ext3 file system in order for it to boot correctly, this tutorial remakes your ext3 partition clearing it of all data, so backup any apps you wish to save threw adb pull or simply download again threw market.

Reboot into recovery mode and do alt + x to get into terminal.

When you get into terminal type:

Remember this is my 16GB card and the way I partitioned my Card. You will have to change the commands a little for your personal setup as explained below.

/# parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

(parted) print

(parted) rm

Partition Number? 2

(parted) print

(parted) mkpartfs primary ext2 15200 15700 !

Note:

(15200 & 15700 represent (in megabytes) where the ext2 file system begins and ends. you will have to make this represent your configuration)

(parted) print

(parted) quit

/# upgrade_fs (this will upgrade your file system to ext3... Dizzy's Hero ROM uses ext3 file system)

/# recovery

After this apply ROM update on your phone and enjoy =]

I added images to help answer questions and make it easier.

Hey guys, I'm new to all this flashing etc. and now I wish I never started lol. I'm really worried, I USPL'd the latest energyrom and really liked it, but 1) I have severe stability problems 2) The phone won't connect to a network.

So I have a couple of questions, basically I would love to keep the energyrom so can I fix the stability problems and get the actual phone function to work? But what I'd really prefer to do is go back to my stock ROM, is this even possible ? :(

Note to admin: I hope this is the right section, sorry if it is not.

Note to all: Please ask for more info, if need be.

Note to all #2: Thank you very much in advance if you can help !
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
click the tutorial link in my signature and retrace ALL the steps to flashing to make sure you've completed them all. a non-working phone function coupled with the "green screen" is a sure sign you missed a step somewhere. and yes, the link will also direct you to the process of getting back to a stock ROM. fyi, the mods will likely close this thread so you should post further questions in the "guide to flashing" or "returning to stock ROM" threads. hope you get it sorted out.
[Touch HD General] ClydeB1:
If you do want to go back to stock rom, you should just be able to flash it as you used the USPL method you will still have the stock SPL on your phone.

From your post it seems that you did not have issues with the blue/green screen, so I presume you had the correct USPL 1.54 before you flashed. If you do want to remain with the Energy rom, it is probably best to post these queries in the thread for that rom. It is possible that these issues have been sorted out or else you just had a bad flash. Did you do a hard reset after the flash?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Verrath:
I think if you turn the phone face down, it will turn off the screen, but not the active connections.

(I'm not sure this is default behaviour though, I've got a few tweak utils installed and this might be why.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ArtieQ:
I have not turn my phone face down, it's on the table with the screen upwards.

Yes, but the solution is to turn it face down while it's connected. It should then turn off the screen, but not the ASync-Connection.
