<<< Stupid Noob, need guidance

Hello,

I got my HTC touch pro because of the 'good' reviews on cnet.com. well, it blows so far. I think it is the windows OS that is making so lagging and unusable.

I have read a lot of good information about unlocking and loading ROMS. What I need is a dummy guide in what I need to do for the phone able to be used in my work environment and play environment. I use everything from Word, Excel, Powerpoint, texting, aim, web surfing, tethering (do not work 85% of the time), weather, blue tooth, etc....

I know everyone is tired of hearing the noob questions as I am part of another forum in a different topic. Please point me in the right direction or be as detail as possible. There are many terms on here I do not understand yet.

Thank you for everyone's time!

Chow.

Did you read any of the stickies for the pro forums? Many of them have step by step instructions.

  1. Everyone of us here was newbie at one time
  2. Your best defense from asking "stupid questions" is to read the STICKIES
  3. Second lind of defense against 'studpid questions" is become aquainted with the SEARCH feature
  4. If you can't find something in search use Google and type in what you're looking for and add site:forum.ppcgeeks.com at the end
  5. There are no stupid questions, there are some stupid answers though!!!
Everyone of us here was a newbie at one time.

I wouldn't know about your dissatisfaction with your device because I flashed mine as soon as I got it, by following instruction provided in a sticky (which you were directed too) Since you're a newbie I wouldn't Let Me Google That For You, you
Good luck and welcome!

i've flashed quite a few ROM's over the past 7-8 months that i've had mine and that lagging and sometimes feeling of being unusable will never go away, it might get slightly improved depending on the ROM but it'll never be satisfactory.

get used to the slowness, especially laggy keyboards.

Re: <<< Stupid Noob, need guidance

I totally came in here expecting how to bust your guys' balls about not helping him and instead of telling him that he should search and use the correct forum (i.e. STFU noob), but instead of that, you guys actually helped him!

I'm proud of you guys. :sniff:

But a friendly piece of advice to the thread starter: please ask help questions in the general Touch Pro forum or in a specific thread pertaining to your exact problem.

Lastly; you will find that there are a lot of smart and helpful people on here. Don't be discouraged to ask "dumb" questions. A lot of times, those kind of questions lead to new discoveries and make people more informed about stuff that they took for granted.

Man, i tell you. I bought this phone for my new job (dropped 500 bucks on it too, couldn't get the "upgrade price") and it was CRAP! I was sooo disappointed. half the time it never worked! I loaded mighty rom on and now it's slicker than snot on a doorknob! Have fun. for tethering use WMWifi router, it's amazing, it's so much better than the stock internet sharing, there's 6 different modes, all which work and are very useful. (not to mention i got a tad bit faster speeds with it!)
