Re: Poor performance TP2 with WM6.5

I would say sometime last fall sprint upgraded me from a TP to a TP2 due to my phone dying on me. I definitely agreed the TP was a very problematic phone and had no issues with them upgrading it. At that time I got a refurb TP2 with WM6.1. The phone ran great for a long while until the earpiece speaker went bad, so the sprint store replaced the phone with a BNIB TP2 running WM6.5...

Ever since I got the phone with WM6.5 it has been slow as hell. The browser takes significantly longer to load, even tough-flow or whatever it's called lags and is super choppy. I'm guessing that it's just all the extra "stuff" that was added (animated/weather home screen for one) but I wanted to check if I am the only one with this problem... Sorry if it has already been discussed somewhere, I skimmed over a few pages worth of the TP2 sub-forum and didn't see anything.


Oh and if WM6.5 is really proving to be the problem is there any way to down-rev to 6.1? I suppose I could just flash a ROM but was going to avoid doing that for now incase I sell the TP in favor of another phone.
What you're running right now is the "Official Sprint WM6.5 ROM" which has been thoroughly discussed in this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=114747

If you'd like to have 6.5 and better performance, look into one of the custom ROMs, I'm currently running Mr. X
