Just got back from the sprint store getting TP replaced AGAIN Kind of a big story
So I went to the sprint store to get my TP replaced again, what was happening was the send and end key didn't work anymore and the phone had literally slowed to a crawl even after a hard reset. I got lucky that the tech there was real smart and took the phone apart in front of me and showed me what might be going wrong, and it doesn't seem like its something I can control but maybe something I can look out for.
First he told me the whole bottom keypad was bad because it had corroded! He showed me the buttons had corrosion all over them and the reason was probably due to sweat! He said the TP doesn't have a moisture barrier over it like most other phones so sweat can get in and corrode the parts inside. Next was the slowdown, it would take 10 minutes to turn the phone on after a reset and get anything running, he explained that basically what happened was due to the corosion it constantly had buttons being pressed according to the software so it was slowing it down significantly. Anywho, I got a new one and am glad to have my precious speed back, hopefully Ill keep an eye out on where I put it when im sweaty :) |

Hmmm, I wonder if thats why my keyboared is having a mind of its own all of a sudden. I am on my second pro, the first I had replaced because of the rainbow effect but the sad part is it started to do it again on the new one I got. So I decided to just put up with it now my keyboared doesn't want to work half the time. I really love my pro but I am really starting to think that htc really f'd up on this one.

It's crazy how some people are having so many problems with their TP's and others are not.... I'm still on my first TP... got it from BestBuy when it first came out and I've had ZERO problems with it.... Possibly a bad batch floating around?

No problems for me either, at least for the first 6 months. Then the send and receive buttons alsodied. Got it replaced under warranty.
