Hi all, first time poster on this site, anyways add another Touch Pro 2 to the list on MetroPCS network
Thanks to the writers of the how-to guide it helped very so much. I had some trouble doing several steps since it is not totally clear on what exactly to do. 'Unlocked' the original Sprint ESN/MSL(i bought a sprint TCP2 btw), wrote all zeros to it so it let me access phone configuration and reuped metros prl(i used 02003) and all the extra goodies. Was on metros network within the hour of unpacking the phone. Next day took to a 'semi-local' authorized dealer to get it flashed and with some luck, it turned out the person i talked to that flashed my phone also had a flashed TP2 on metropcs, so he knew whats up. Dont know the specifics on what he used to flash it, houdini or what(im totally new with all this flashing stuff).If it doesnt violate the TOS on this site and someone is interested I could post what metro store I got my phone flashed. Its in San Bernardino, CA.
My review of the phone(just over a weeks use with MetroPCS network):
-phone overall works wonderful, slow at times(hey its a pocketpc, who can ask for more, right?)
-would of been great if windows or htc could of added capability for a customizable,yet user friendly, screen rotation software.i know it does do rotate in some windows, but havent yet found something that could be configured by the user,at least not that i know of. i tried using Gyrator 2 but that also doesnt have many options to configure.
-metropcs network works as it should except it is very slow when browsing the internet let alone trying to watch a youtube video or anything streaming sort.i tried the youtubeapp.cab and installed just fine but when trying to view a video, never loads.(is there something i need to do to the app or on the phone?)
-any preloaded sprint apps dont work at all. i dont really care for any of them except for directions and maps, so if anyone knows of any good apps for that pass it this way.
-the Home 'tab',or whatever you want to call them, of the TouchFlo 3d(and any of the tabs for that matter) should be customizable and user defined. as far as i know i think you have to not use TouchFlo 3d to do that.i like touchflo 3d but i believe you should be able to add or remove/change functions within them.again if im wrong and you CAN customize touchflo 3d please let know.im blabimg about this because i cant find a way to key lock the freaken phone. the only way key lock is if i use gyrator 2 and use the stylus event to key lock automatically everytime i put back in the stylus. so as it is now, i can key lock it but i have to pull the dam stylus out and put it back in(very darn annoying when im not using the stylus at all). if you guys know of how to screen lock it easier way, please do tell. ive heard of slide2unlock but havent tried it and i hate to download app after app just to customize something that should be available from the start.
-i also get this message everytime it goes to data connection mode ie. i open opera browser:
first msg: Device Configuration
the network is preparing your service. please wait...
then this msg: The profile update could not be completed. Please try again later.If the problem persists, you may need to contact customer service.
error code 1012
internet works fine(slow but fine) just those messages pop up.
anyways if anyone read this whole post or if i mistakenly shouldnt have posted all this information here(not trying to thread hijack) and done a new thread for this, im sorry and if you can help out with any of the above i would gladly appreciate it. Thanks again all!!

hopefully that helps  if it does u know what to do !Thanks Butoon! |
Yes that is correct, with Freds task manager you can terminate and delete from the registry everything necessary to complete the guide.
