So I had the TP2 as you know for since its inception - I've upgraded my phone to the photon 4g... I needed something that handles voice calls a little more effectively, and there is a known issue with using airvana and a series of phones from sprint (specifically TP2 being on the list) that prevents incoming call waiting tones to be sent through the device while on an active call. It works if I am out of the airvana network, but I am in an airvana network where this loss of function can't be compromised. This only applies to Airvana 2nd generations. Tested Tp2 on 1st generation "airave by samsung that doesn't have 3g data support) and it works.
Going back to my topic title :
I have installed sharkie's ROM and the phone is fantastic nonetheless.
So.... what or how can I still make use of this device, while at home or elsewhere? There will be no voice or data service to the device as I have switched it to the other phone.
1. I have the wifi router application installed (as per sharkieROM) - so I imagine I can still tether the device to a "public wifi" when outside of home. I can then use a laptop and connect to a VPN service I have to browse more securely (i.e. from a tablet pc or notebook).
2. At home I have a wifi network setup. What can I do with the TP2 at home? Granted that I can connect my already preexisting wifi devices to my home network as it is already.
I'm just trying to see what other uses I can see that I have overlooked and still would make me be able to use the device in that way.
a) perhaps use it as a remote desktop to enter some of the other devices? (i.e. using remote desktop or teamviewer - although I am not sure if teamviewer is supported for windows mobile)
a1) maybe as a RSS reader?
b) not sure what the benefit is, if I connect the TP2 to my home network and activate its wifi router and have devices connect to that...
c) the TP2 has bluetooth also - so not sure what scenarios I can use with that as well.
I've got the extended OEM and slim OEM batteries - so the power is there for this device to function really well.
d) Internation GSM - I forgot that I can have this maybe as a backup if I ever travel.
Give me some ideas PPCgeeks
Cheers.
