boooooo

yeah this delay kind of sucks. I hope sprint somehow pushes out a unique new 6.5 rom that's better than vzw and at&t's.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] B3RL1N:
6.5 upgrade

We can only hope, but I doubt it.

The day that 6.5 came out on October 22 I was checking my phone every hour trying to get my update to 6.5 not knowing that it wasn't going to be released. Oddly enough I DID get an upgrade notice, but when I went to install it I got an installation failed message. The Orange 6.5 logo popped up and everything. I was so mad when I found I wasn't going to be getting my upgrade anytime soon.

I mean I bought the Touch Pro 2 for two reasons, its keyboard and its upgrade to 6.5; so far I feel like I'm being half ass'd by Sprint and HTC.

The thing that REALLY gets me is not just that I am still waiting for the 6.5 upgrade but how much longer am I going to have to wait in order to get a 6.5.3 upgrade!? I mean forget about the possibility of a 6.6 next month, I still am waiting for 6.5! It is total bull! The only thing that keeps me satisfied is the fact that I pay $20 less a month than other carriers for a similar plan.

I'd go down to my Sprint store and complain in the hopes of getting some money back on my phone but customer service is so dead these days it would be in vein.

The only thing I am NOT looking forward to in 6.5 is the calendar app for Titanium. I love my Touchflo 3D but once I upgrade I'm going to turning it off to save some battery life. Decisions Decision, one day I'll be able to make them. :|

Sprint Touch Pro 2 update

I have an inside scoope from the local corporate store and the techs there are telling me in February 2010 they are realising the updated rom of Windows Mobile 7 for the sprint touch pro 2.

i dont know anymore about it I was trying to find out what extras if any are different than what we have.

:):):):):):):):):):):):):)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mbg19:
lol im sure you mean windows mobile 6.5 not even the betas of wm7 are near...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sumflipnol:
lol...In addition to not even having WM7 betas (I bet they're not even at a full-on alpha stage:rolleyes:), it's already known that the only [HTC] device that can support the official WM7 ROM is the HD2 due to its capacitive screen and 1Ghz CPU.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] JohnMcD348:
I do have a friend who works more in the corporate IT side of things at Sprint. He was the sole reason I stayed with Sprint and got my TP2 instead of moving on. What he told me he was able to find out is that Sprint is still working on enhancments to teh WinMo6.5 platform and it may acutally truly be the 6.5.3 version they have. Even he was getting mixed info and he works in the ifrastructure of the IT area.

But with all the other things that Sprint offers on their units like the NFL, Sprint Cup, enhancements to implement 4g, etc, etc, they are making certain it is as reliable as possible before releasing it. Since they've had such a black eye over the last few years due to Customer Service issues and such, they are trying to do the right thing and not tick off alot of customers by ruining their phones with an update. they have been watching the other companies that hav rolled out releases and essentially using them as beta testers.

Hopefully, when the new release comes out, everyone will think ( or at least a majority will) that it was worth the wait.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] B3RL1N:
The amount of smiley faces in this post made me disregard it faster than the improper and possibly misinformed reference to Windows Mobile 6.5 as 7.

If this is the truth I'd be very pleased. We are four months into Windows Mobile 6.5 and none of us 'normal folk' have heard a peep out of Sprint about anything close to an upgrade other than a vague "Quarter 1". The way this is going I might have to start asking the question if they mean Q1 of 2010 or 2011?

All I can say is that IF when we do finally get 6.5 and it is 6.5.3 I'd be 100% satisfied with the wait I endured. I want my repositioned start button!!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] David737:
Why can AT&T, Verizon & T-Mobile get the WM6.5 update for the TP2 much earlier than Sprint? I hope the wait gives us 6.5.3 vs 6.5. I would rather have 6.5 now, vs waiting for 6.5.3 for another two months. I must use a carrier supplied released for my business.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] geeque44:
The sprint site clearly states that 6.5 is comming in the first qtr of 2010... not 7.0
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] jhworley:
Release Date

I'm a Sprint employee and can confirm that the release date will be sometime this month (Feb. 2010). My rep didn't have any details of 6.5 or 6.5.3, but did promise a release this month.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mxxcon:
it is not already known. there never was any official statements from htc or microsoft. there are also no full wm7 specs published.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] augoza:
positive feedback

WOW after reading these last few replies about the the update coming this month...i feel pretty confident it will now :) ...can't wait!! but now i got my hopes up for 6.5.3...damn it haha. 6.5 HERE IT COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMES!!!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sumflipnol:
You're correct. I had a poorly-written post.:o

There were no full WM7 specs published by HTC or Microsoft.

However, there was a tweet from HTC Russia that said something about the Diamond2 not getting the official WM7 upgrade (thread about it here). Since the TP2 is practically identical to the Diamond2, and it was stated that [currently] only the HD2 will receive a WM7 upgrade. Also, it's been speculated by many tech bloggers (possibly through some insight in the project) that WM7 will most likely require a capacitive screen.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] dadda:
it just might be 6.5.3 but we will never know untill maybe the last week in march
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] B3RL1N:
It's funny that you quoted that post, because I was about to post that information again after reading page 2.

Eldar Murtazin, who is the Russian owner of mobile-review.com tweeted that information that he apparently received from a reliable source. That is no confirmation of any sorts but it is surely a logically informed probability. The HD2 stands out as the phone in which would get a WinMo 7 update more than any other. It's hardware is just so much more better than any other WinMo phone on the market, the only other released phone that comes close is the Omnia II with a 800 MHZ processor.

Here is the tweet itself: http://twitter.com/eldarmurtazin/status/8274606051

With that in mind, there was another leak from Eldar about the minimum requirements for Windows Mobile 7.

1GHz processor

3.6 inch WVGA display

G-sensor and compass

8GB of onboard memory

5MP camera

The HD 2 meets all those requirements other than the 8GB onboard memory, so it makes sense that it would make the cut for an update to 7.

Here is the story about the 'second' Windows 7 minimum requirements leak:

http://www.unwiredview.com/2010/01/27/windows-mobile-7-minimum-requirements-leaked-again/

While none of these are official Microsoft release notes, I can assure you they are much better than any of the Apple leaks of the iPad other than "A Giant iPhone".

Microsoft isn't the best at keeping secrets, so leaks are fairly common.

It is most likely (I can almost guarantee) that the Touch Pro 2 will NEVER get an official Windows Mobile 7 update. We've all been hearing that Microsoft planned to run both 6.5 and 7 both side by side. So I'm sure there will be many of updates to come for the 6.5 interface that will keep it interesting. 6.6 and so on...

The bottom line? 6.5 was released WAYY too late and Microsoft messed up big time with a postponed WinMo 7. It's just aggravating to me that Sprint is making us wait even longer for an already LONG overdue OS update. I hope we get the 6.5.3 update when the 6.5 upgrade from 6.1 is released, because I can't even imagine how long we are going to have to wait for it if we don't get it the first time around.

Personally, this just has me agitated. I bought this phone for the 6.5 update in September expecting it in October. It's now February of the following year and I'm high and dry.

HURRY UP SPRINT! I love my $70 a month price tag, but SERIOUSLY!?

Let me whine like the 20 year old American I am say, "I want it nooowwww!!!!" :P
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] perveeus:
According to THIS ARTICLE - 6.5+ might be the last WinMo we would want....:confused:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] B3RL1N:
Wow, that's really recent. Yesterday? How did I miss this one.

I'm going to admit that I as well don't like what I just read.

METRO interface that looks like Zune? You mean Titanium? Lol, WinMo 6.5 already looks a lot like the Zune HD. It's not that I don't like that idea, it's everything else that troubles me.

No flash support, this does make sense when you look at it from the point of battery life and how much flash ruins it. Flash is still an important part of Web 2.0 and there is no true direction for a replacement, not even in HTML5.

Application installation will only be supported through Marketplace!?!? EFF THAT!!!!! This is one of the MAIN reasons I bought my Windows Mobile phone. I look at my phone in more of the concept of it being a computer and not a cell phone, this is a step in the wrong direction. It's where Apple screwed up with the iPhone, so why would Microsoft want to make the same mistake?

I'm guessing the reason for this is so they can monitor what applications make it onto the new Windows Phones but this still is going to set Microsoft back. Yes pirating is a problem but as long as the code is crackable it will always be a problem.

No multi-tasking support!? ARE THEY RETARDED or something? One of the biggest backlashings in the cell phone industry based around an absence of multi-tasking? I'm sure a 1GHz+ phone can handle processing background information. Sure it hurts the battery life but you just clock down the processor when not in use. Everyone hates the iPad for this reason, why would Microsoft do such a thing? I love multi-tasking on my phone, it's the reasons my desktop computer is a dual-core. So I can multitask easier.

No backwards compatibility? *Head explodes*

Oh, my, god. This will set Windows Phone 7 back two years. No compatibility what so ever? Is Microsoft not concerned with such a thing? I mean why did they release Windows XP mode in Windows 7? Is there no collaboration between project managers at Microsoft? Or are all the Windows Mobile developers still using Windows XP because it's a better OS?

This will be the final nail in the coffin for Microsoft if they do this. Not only will they be running two mobile OS's side by side they were be completely different with no compatibility between the two. So devs will have to make apps for both 6.5 and 7, which will create a large void in the amount of companies that want to work with Microsoft's mobile OS.

Fail, fail, fail, fail! This aggravates me so!

xBox 360 integration? Kind of cool, too bad I only have a PS3. Will there be any games for Windows Phone 7 worth buying? I hope so...

This is going to be an interesting make or break year for Microsoft. As a former Windows user that just recently switched over to Mac I am personally scared for them.

It seems that they only have two things going for them now, xBox and Microsoft Office. Windows 7 is nice, but after using Snow Leopard I could never go back.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sumflipnol:
So, I guess I wouldn't be able to "flash" my phone anymore... I'm going to have to "root" it just like an iPhone!:mad::(

I guess Microsoft is making us iWindows OS now.

Hopefully, the author of the article will be wrong by the time WM7 is truly unveiled.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] djstern:
You can't blame HTC for the delay. M$ released 6.5 long ago. HTC did their magic to adapt it to the Touch Pro2 not long after that. Sprint is the one dragging their feet on putting their mark on it before they release it.

I love sprints plans and all, but they have got to get it together with the ROM updates.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] djstern:
No multitasking? Only apps from the app store can be installed? No backwards compatibility? No more SPB Mobile Shell? No OEM Interfaces? No Sense UI or Touch Flo?

I'm sorry M$ I don't want an I-Phone. I"m afraid that I'll use up my Touch Pro2 and when it dies.............Android, here I come. I've no doubt that Android and it's apps will be much more mature by then and the open source aspect makes it all that much better for tweaking. If I can't even install a app or tweak my UI then what's the point. If I've got to invest $$$ to replace all my cherished apps, then I might as well buy apps for a phone that I can make my own.

M$ WAKE UP! People like to make their phone THEIRS! Don't tell me I can't use SPB Mobile Shell or whatever to make my phone the way I like it in my own twisted mind. I like my stuff over there > and my other stuff over there. <

*Soapbox mode off*
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] helirob:
We're still a long way from seeing that OS. Personally, I can't put to much stock in that report. A lot of those details are hard to believe. History dictates that a lot will change by the time we even start to see a beta.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] djstern:
I hope your right. M$ put a lot of effort into backward compatibility with win95, but unfortunately, in recent years they have become increasingly lax about backward compatibility. Every win7 friend of mine lost both software and hardware when they left xp behind. I'm afraid that they just haven't instilled much confidence in me lately.

Hello all,

I am a year-long htc blackstone user, flashing miri roms etc, a heavy user.

So I bought this week my wife the touch2 (mega). Now I have some issues with this one. For me these would not be that much of a problem - I am fluent with stopping data connections - but we are talking about not such a fluent user now...

I already installed the owner info patch.

Apparently we live that far in countryside, that the home page weather does not work. Google location services is configured, google maps finds our location - but weather not. No location at all, just tells that the weather data is not available.

Second thing... no hdtweak or kaisertweak for that yet? I'd like to configure the internet (gprs/3g) to deactivate automatically when not in use. This is not found in the settings anywhere. Using NoData or such is just not practical. The stopping data connection would be to save battery.

Third.. sense tabs. In the settings there is no possibility to change the order of the tabs :-O

So, the first thoughts...

[Touch2 General] starlit:
For the wather map to work, you must enable the location services that can be found in the settings.
[Touch2 General] anssibragge:
needless to say, I have activated the location services.

it just must be the fact that we are living so far in the countryside.

I have on my blackstone a newer rom and manila - the weather shows perfectly our home location, a small village of 3500 inhabitants.

I wonder if that version on touch2 would work in a city.

So today I had a little problem with my phone. First off it was working fine all day and at night I tried to look at my phone but the screen would not get off a blank black screen. And it would only turn on once in a while but clearly didn't function correctly. So I was told to try rooting it to downgrade it to make it run better. So when I followed the step in, http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod , the installation keeps failing and I can't get out of the boot setup. I've tried everything and it's driving me crazy. I've tried so many searches and read everything I could but there hasn't been any solutions for this problem. Does anyone know how to exit the Red green blue white screen? The Call+Menu+End key doesn't work at all when I was told it should. Can anyone help me with this?

I don't have my Hero yet, but i was looking for an app like inssider (for windows) to use on my hero wich will arrive monday or tuesday.

the app inssider can scan for wireless networks and display the name (ssid), used security (none, wep, wpa, wpa2, wpa/wpa2), channel (1 through 13 or 14) and the signal strenth.

with that app i have solved and fixed many broken wifi networks. so my question really is if there is such an app in the market available. (just wondering until my hero arrives)

Well after weeks of waiting I finally got my Leo. One problem I am having is the system indexing my music files. I have about 4GB on a 16GB card it takes ages finally when it indexes it has incuded hundreds of phone recordings. I use resco recorder which records every call I make.

The manual says:

Your phone searches for all supported music files from the following locations:

Phone: \My Music (including all subfolders)

\My Documents (including all subfolders)

Storage Card: \Storage Card (including all subfolders)

Is there any way to stop it searching a folder on the SD card ??

Any help greatly appreciated.:):)
[HD2 General] neil_swann80:
+1 for this
[HD2 General] 4tune:
There's a registry entry that declares a folder which is not scanned by Audio Manager. It is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\Config:ring_tone_path

By default it would be "\My Documents\My ringtones\" (don't know for sure, I'm on a dutch ROM atm). You can change this to another location if you like, but I it won't take a location on your storagecard, unfortunately. It means you will have to keep ring-tones in the device memory. For me this is no problem because I only carry a few dozen tones with me.
