thinking about trying to get a replacement touch pro from sprint...
im just wondering if you guys think they would give me a new one.. my phone has just got slower and slower as time goes on.. i basically cant run TF3D anymore because it is just soo slow. if i click on my contacts tab or whatever it takes more than ten minutes to load! and when i get a new message same thing. i currently have warrior's iphoneclone on here right now, and it is by far the fastest rom.. but still texting is just terrible! text lags, and takes forever just to view the message.. basically pointless.
*EDIT* also activedsync rarely loads, and is SUCH a pain to try and flash new roms. usually if i leave my phone plugged in for about 6 hours it will all the sudden realize that its connected.. i have the original box, and everything that came with it. Only thing IS... i bought this phone from a guy who originally bought it from sprint. i know he didn't do anything to it. i know the guy personally. i upgraded from the diamond to it also. do you think that sprint would know.. if i walk into their store, and tell them the problems i am having with the phone, and if i could get a replacement. how would you guys go about this?? Thanks |

Why not try a hard reset first ?

Just make sure you back up everything before you do a hard reset. This usually helps out a lot. Also it depends if you have installed a lot of programs or games that will eat up your memory and which it will cause to perform slow.

Have you tried flashing a custom ROM? Or are you still on the stock ROM?

i'd say to try a different rom before you call sprint. if you can't do it via activesync, flash via sd card (that's what i do every time anyway)
|
Re: thinking about trying to get a replacement touch pro from sprint...
You might try flashing the Sprint SHIPPED ROM.
Then flash to a fast stable ROM, Somethng like the Mighty/Silence ROM, Thats known to be pretty much bug free. Id prolly also try it without the SDcard, just in case its corrupt and causing any problems. If you've already done all that , then im stumped. Prolly a hardware issue. |

as for the current condition of the phone...the cracked chrome issue blew into a full blown case crack right next to the volume up button, theres also a chip in the chrome on the face on the lower right hand side so at this point the usb port is moot, they won't touch it for the physical damage alone and i would've tried another store but the next corporate store is 45 minutes from home |

2 GB card w/ SD adapter Plus shipping less than $10.00 2GB is plenty useful on this phone!!!! |
Re: thinking about trying to get a replacement touch pro from sprint...
Test it out good with that shipped ROM on it, if its still that laggy then you pretty much know its a hardware issue.

and the first pic in that link is exactly what's happened to mine, on the lower front, mines a chip not a crack so theres just an obnoxious little black spot on the front of the device i was trying to hold out for the launch of the TP2 and cross my fingers and hope asurion replaces (yes i know its extremely unlikely) my phone with that but i don't think this will last that long |

When I got my Vogue a year and a half ago I paid almost 50$ for that exact same card. Now you can get an 8gb card for 11$ :angry7: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroS...8503393&sr=8-2 |

I gotta Diamond with 4gb fixed Internal Storage and I wish I had 2x that much. BUT, I keep quite a bit of music on mine and I always gotta few movies on there to. So it just depends on what you wanna do with it. 2gb will hold quite abit of music but if you wanna watch movies or anything, id say go bigger. |

yes, much flashing has proven that it takes very little time to do an extra hard-reset after a rom flash is fully loaded including customizations.. and when having trouble and "no rom will work" it's definitely worth trying the "shipped" rom. sometimes even a few flashes and hard-resets is enough to un-mask the zombies... Zoinks!

Re: thinking about trying to get a replacement touch pro from sprint...
i just put on the sprint shipped rom, and TF3D is not loading.. Hard reset did nothing. No activesync connection/data connection it just charges. i have had problems with TF3D not loading before, and i had a thread for it. --> http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74255
I think im going to have to take this phone into sprint..like tomorrow.. and tell them that i cant use this, and i need a new phone basically. i dont have insurance, but it definitely looks like this is a hardware issue also like i said earlier, i bought this phone from a guy who originally bought it from sprint.. it worked fine when i bought it from him, and basically all up until on random day. so do i tell the guy at sprint that? or do i tell him that i just bought it from sprint? thanks, and any other ideas, ill be sure to do tomorrow (well i guess today lol :) ) |
