I ended up buying a Verizon TP2 after I returned the Sprint one. I received it yersterday and so far I have been very happy. Snappy, loud, great voice quality. Either I had a defective unit or the problems were due to Sprint bloatware modifications or the Sprint network is just lousy in Minneapolis.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dezoris:
The Fuze was the biggest turd, even with different ROMs running TF3D was horrible experience.

The Verizon GPS has little or no lag so it must be a Sprint issue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Black Phoenix:
The Rhodium is a good Smartphone, not perfect but better that it's old model, the one that he replaces.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mtanous:
My experience was the total opposite. I waited for the verizon tp2 forever, when i ordered it, vzw told me that only my main line on my family account could get the upgrade price. that pissed me off, since my wife also needed a new smartphone since we are both realtors. vzw only worked in half of my house, the othe were dead zones. i called up sprint, they sent me this phone, a palm pre and about 250 dollars off with prepaid visa cards and service rebates to offset the price difference. once i got the phones, i have total service now in my house, couldnt be happier. im located in san diego.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HeavyComponent:
Best WM phone I ever had, but then again I had the Wing. Besides it being a little slow and the freezing that occured from flipping the keyboard open/close it was an OK phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
While Sprint's network in the Twin Cities area is pretty bad, I'd be more likely to blame their software.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sdlopez83:
Rhodium is good if your coming from a kaiser. The only upgrade from the TP is the screen.

HA yeah it is very slow. Everything lags a bit

You are crazy, Iphone 3gs has much more horsepower under the hood.

ANSwer to all your replies should start and end with the same reasoning. IT HAS THE SAME CHIPSET FROM FROM THE TP AND RUNNING ON 528mhz. HTC has used the same chipset for the last 3 years.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] duglas:
My T-Mobile TP2 has the worst signal strength of any phone I have had in the last few years.. It does not work at my house, drops calls while driving and always has 2 bars less than my Mytouch..

I thought it was the phone but I had the phone exchanged and the new one is the same.

I wish it worked better, I love everything else about it, but if it does not work at my house it is worthless...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gliscameria:
Give it time

Give it some time. You are just paying an early adopters fee. Once the ROM guys get it open and start working on it it will be become a much better phone. GPS taking a few seconds to get a lock is practically instantaneous. Mine does seem a little laggy, but I can blame that on bloatware. Most all of the problems I've had were software related. Like the visual voicemail taking two days to let me know I got a message, and the SMS freaking out.

Have faith young Jedi.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cmd512:
GPS lag is negligible after doing the GPS Tweaks on here + radio update to 4.xxxx. Use TomTom almost daily now, love it!

I'm surprised Sprint worked inyour house and VZW didn't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitrius:
So, i've heard that when installing the newest official rom for Hero, you cannot root it the way we used to, do this prevent me from installing the modaco rom? If so, what do i need to do to install the modaco rom instead?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvashi:
The Modaco custom ROM is pre-rooted so you don't have to do anything else after flashing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitrius:
Yea, that's fine, but can i just install it over the rom i already have? Or do i need to do something to prepare the phone for the new custom rom, since apparently after installing the new official rom, a new hboot get's installed which makes rooting impossible, almost, or so i've heard.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvashi:
Have you look at the following thread already?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559613&highlight=hboot

That has instructions that you need to follow... And then you can flash Modaco custom.
[General Questions and Answers] badasschris:
Hi i have mobile wifi router installed on my phone (came with duttys rom) and i was wondering if using it my network could tell and charge me extra?

I have an unlimited data plan but i know I could pay an extra £10 and then my phone could be used as a mobile boradband device, does this mean that if i try to use the mobile wifi router program that my carrier would be able to tell and block it or charge me extra?

Also is there a way to share the phone connection with a pc without using wifi and without having to buy the networks extra mobile boradband package because I will almost never use it but its good to know i have the option if i go on holiday or whatever, maybe i want to prows the web in the garden soemthing like that
[General Questions and Answers] Rudegar:
no wifi works even if you don't have a sim card in the phone

just like pda's with wifi and no phone

just like your laptop connecting with wifi to the router

just like your desktop connecting with wifi or cable to the router
[General Questions and Answers] badasschris:
no its not that, mobile wifi router converts your phone into a router so your laptop/whatever can connect to it and use its data connection to connect to the internet, I was just wondering if doing this the network can tell and then charge me extra as they usually charge for using your phone as an internet access point
[General Questions and Answers] -PiLoT-:
the connection from the phone to the laptop or computer is free anything wifi

the cost to go onto internet will however depend on your satat rates, just to be sure id ask your operator
[General Questions and Answers] badasschris:
Hi thanks for trying to help, but thats not what I was asking. I know wifi connections are free what I was asking is if my operator will be able to tell the difference between my phone using its data connection and my laptop using my phones data connection.

The reason I ask is that I have unlimited data for my phone.

but

you can pay extra money to upgrade your account to allow your phone to be used as a mobile broadband dongle

but if they can't tell the difference between phone using its data and pc using its data then there is no need to pay the extra money.

is this the case or am i missing something
[General Questions and Answers] ElCondor:
Depending on your operator, there could be a max of MB's. So it might be 500 MB/month, but also unlimited internet. With that, you are able to use it without any extra costs.
[General Questions and Answers] ArtieQ:
Is it possible to somewhat put up a wifi network on your phone via some program (WiFi Router is one I think) and connect to it and use it ON your phone?

aaah teething

as far as I know they should not be able to detect it

but I could be mistaken
[General Questions and Answers] vijaysingh:
If the usage is large 500MB/month, carrier might suspect unusual activity. teething is paid service with some carriers.
[General Questions and Answers] jdshifflett:
I have a G1 tethered on T-mobile USA. I have talked to customer service. They said they do not support tethering but that it is not illegal. Their solution is to allow a soft cap of 10gb of data service with their unlimited plan and once you reach the cap they throttle the internet speed down from 3g to 2g levels. Not to horrible. I play all my online games with my G1 connection, Counter Strike Source, Perfect World International, Flyff, and download quite a bit of music and usually only reach about 300mb a day which gives me a full month of service before i reach that cap. And at the start of the new month I get reset. :D
[General Questions and Answers] sirgawain123:
I´m in the same situation.

I´ve got an unlimited data plan, which covers phone/PDA use, but EXCLUDES using the device as a modem for a PC/Laptop (tethering).

I´ve tethered it ocasionally, and it worked.

My carrier didnt charge me extra, nor blocked. BUT i know the risk exists. I´ve tried to research.

What i read is that carrier COULD tell if you are tethering by traffic analysis (one way is looking the user agent of your web pages request, which identifies yor browser), but that this traffic analysys is not practical, and most carriers dont do it....by now.

So of you tether ocasionally, you are safe.....today, ....until carriers perceive there is a number significant enough to make profits,of people tethering under a data plan intented just for phone use, then they can start charging you.
[General Questions and Answers] badasschris:
ha nice, well im gonna give it a go anyway and see what happens, its just funny that they specifically advertise to upgrade your account to be able to do this as if they can somehow tell. I dunno what mobile boradband is like in the us but in the uk there advertising it all over the place as if its someting people really need instead of something that is ocasionally useful, apart from in your case its mad how much you do through your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] badasschris:
thanks for this, if the only thing they can do to check is by the web requests of your browser surely there is a way to pretend to be opera mobile for example which should receive the full web anyway. Anyway as you say I won;t be using it much if at all so if i do fancy it i think ill just take the risk and see what happens worse they can do is charge me a little extra and i may even be able to avoid that by pleeding ignorance
[General Questions and Answers] badasschris:
I don't quite understand this question, you could use the program i mentioned to make your phone into a wifi access point and use its data connection to the internet then anything you like could then connect to it e.g. another phone, psp, ps3 laptop .....

is that what you ment?

if you want the Official upgrade to 3.0 then you can simply sync your iphone to your itunes with a downloaded 3.0 firmware (search google) and your done

if you want a CUSTOM FIRMWARE of 3.0 then you will need a redsnow 0.8

update your iphone through itunes officially, after that jailbreak it using redsnow 0.8 and your free as playing ripped games and apps :)

Hi guys, my Xpera has suddenly stopped displaying any image.. it's still fully operational though... i can recieve calls, sms and so on, but i can not see anything.

I'm going to drop it off at the store for repair, but first i'd like to backup my SMS (partially because i've recieved SMS since it broke, so i can't read those) so my main question is, is there any application for PC that allows you to read SMS from your PC without ANY action beeing required from the phone?

Ive tried to search but not found a way. Is it possible to have a dialer just for dialing fast? Like a regular phone dialer I suppose. The dialer with 6.1 starts searching and is therefor slow. I want to turn that search off. It was an option in earlier WM but I dont see it listed now.

Thanks

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] coppertop24:
ok, so heres my problem. i rcvd my TP2 yesterday about 10am. since i got it i have had a problem with it not coming out of standby when i press the power button or when calls come in. i can still answer calls however. ive done numerous hard resets and i have not installed anything other than my contacts. late last nite it just started working fine but as soon as i plugged it in this morning it started acting up again. i have noticed that when it does this i am able to get it to turn if i open the keyboard and tilt the screen up. it will come every time and will remain on when closed until goes back to sleep. i have also noticed that the backlight controls in system power management do not change the screens brighhtness either. i tried to install lumos to see if maybe that would help but couldnt get it to run as it says i need a newer netcf version but i cant seem to install it. has anyone run across this problemm and have any suggestions? btw. sorry for the lengthy post ;)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] helirob:
This sounds like a job for Sprint tech support. Tell them everything you've done so far. In my experience, they're pretty good about warranty replacements.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] coppertop24:
ok, so i was able to get lumos installed and so far its good. Ive plugged it in, reset and it seems to be working fine now. will let it go the rest of the day without change and see if that fixes my issue. I am inclined to believe there is something wrong with my software that handles power management (duh) which is odd because it is brand spanking new. So just to recap: came off a fresh hard reset and issues persisted. Added my contacts, updated to NetCF 3.5 and installed Lumos to handle backlight. So far so good. I am trying to avoid calling sprint about it as much as possible :rolleyes:

But, if anyone else has any ideas, let me know

Buonasera a tutto il forum...

sono un tecnico informatico ed ho ricevuto in assistenza da un amico/cliente un Trinity che va sempre in modalità bootloader appena acceso...

Il Trinity in questione è originale come rom e tutto il resto...

L'Activesync 4.5 sotto XP SP3 non lo rileva... se provo ad usare l'utility MTTY mi da che non riesce ad aprire l'USB... ho provato diverse volte ad flashare sia l'spl 1.2 che l'1.3 senza nessun risultato positivo... il display del Trinity segnalava l'avvio dell'upgrade ma dopo 1 secondo si riavviava (sempre in modalità bootloader) ed il pc dava file di aggiornamento corrotto...

ovviamente come da FAQ ho riprovato diverse volte ad effettuare questi aggiornamenti ma sempre con lo stesso esito...

Ho provato ad installare direttamente da MiniSD la ROM cucinata con il WM6.1 ma non tenta manco di installarla (ovviamente ho ridenominato il file come TRINIMG.nbh)... provando a fare l'aggiornamente alla ROM originale che avete postato qui (quella da utilizzare per mandare il telefonino in garanzia)... ed utilizzando sempre il metodo della MiniSD mi fa effettivamente l'aggiornamento... ma quando riavvio il telefonino mi va sempre comunque in modalità bootloader...

inutile dire che soft ed hard reset sono stati ampiamente provati...

Come la risolvo questa situazione?

Ringrazio anticipatamente per le Vs. risposte :-)

Good evening to all the forum ...

I am a computer technician and I have received assistance from a friend / client a Trinity that is always in bootloader mode just lit ...

Trinity in question is original as the Roma and the rest ...

The Activesync 4.5 under XP SP3 does not recognize that ... if I try to run the utility MTTY me who can not open the USB ... I tried several times to flash the SPL is 1.2 that the 1 .3 with no positive result ... the display of Trinity signaled the start the upgrade but after 1 second restart (always in bootloader mode) and the PC gave update files corrupted ...

FAQ obviously as I try several times to make these updates, but always with the same outcome ...

I tried to install directly from the MiniSD ROM with WM6.1 cooked but not even try to install it (obviously I renamed the file as TRINIMG.nbh) ... trying to do the upgrade to the original ROM that you have posted here (the one to use to send the phone under warranty) ... and always use the method of MiniSD me the upgrade ... but when I restart the phone is always still in bootloader mode ...

Needless to say, soft and hard reset have been extensively tested ...

Like I fix this?

Thank you in advance for your answers :-)
[P3600 General] seroton:
Sorry I didn't noticed the rule about writing the questions in both Italian and English... here is the translation made directly by me about this question:

Good evening to all the forum...

I'm an IT Technician and I have a Trinity of a friendly customer of mine to check... this Trinity is always going in bootloader mode as soon as you switch it on...

This Trinity has the original rom and spl on...

MS Activesync 4.5 is not able to detect it under Windows XP SP3... If i try to use the MTTY utility I receive an "i can't open the USB port" error...

I tried several times to flash both version of SPL... 1.2 and 1.3 ... but I had no positive result... Trinity display show the start of the upgrade process but after 1 or 2 second the device reboot (always in bootloader mode) and the PC utility show the corrupted updating file error... I tried as advised from the FAQ to update again without changing anything... but i had the same result.

I also tried to install directly from the MiniSD both the cooked WM6.1 ROM or the original ROM posted on this forum (i renamed each file to TRINIMG.nbh before copying them to the FAT32 formatted MiniSD)... the update of the cooked one is not even starting... the one of the original ROM arrive until the end without any problem... but when I restart the mobile it keep going in Bootloader mode

I have of course tried to do both soft or hard reset several times...

What I have to do to fix this problem?

Thanking you for your quick reply I await

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spacechimp:
Hmm, this is really bugging me now.

Hero has been running Exchange sync perfectly for a couple of weeks, but today it went AWOL and stopped connecting.

I rebooted the router (because I work from home and use the phone and laptop over wi-fi), but this didn't cure it.

Decided to shut down Outlook on my laptop (which was working perfectly anyway) and disconnect the VPN, then re-connect and see if my laptop would have the same problem as my Hero. Launched the VPN and it asked me to reset my password (usually due to our 90 day expiry policy) - okay, I changed the password and it connected fine, and Outlook appeared perfectly as it should. But the Hero still wouldn't connect, using both the original password and the new one (not that I expected this to change anything anyway).

The error I get (whatever I do) is "Authenticaion failed. Please verify username and/or password."

Got really irritated with this and deleted the account. Set it back up from scratch and still the same error.

Got even more irritated, remembering how the Hero seems to allow some people to only set up Exchange and Gmail accounts when they first set up the phone, i.e. during the "out the box" setting up stage. Figured I may have to do a factory reset, but had an idea ... download RoadSync and set up my account as usual ... same error even with this!!!! Aaarrgghghh!

All this after I've been signing the praises of the little Hero.

Does anyone have a fix? HTC can't help. My office say nothing has changed on Exchange. Any ideas?

Thanks

SC
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spacechimp:
Now fixed and working again.

Asked the office IT guys to change my password. It must have overwritten some kind of password corruption caused by me doing remotely, even though I've done it that was for the last 18 months.

Anyway, if people are having an Exchange authentication problem via Hero sync, it may be worth asking your IT people to change the password.
