Re: ★SharkieROM★6/4/11-Updated★Version 5.1★Generic\Sprint★29020\21916★Sense2021

Hey sharkie, thanks so much for your development for this device. I really loved it when upgrading to your ROM.

I had upgraded my phone over the weekend (sprint photon 4g) - we finally figured out why I am not getting network call waiting tones while speaking on the phone. There's a known issue with this HTC Tp2 (and a few other models from sprint) that prevent call waiting tones to be transmitted over network when connected to their network booster - 2nd generation airvana device. If I am on the 1st generation device (without 3g data support) - call waiting worked. (We tested it as I have both generations sitting here).

That loss of function on 2nd generation really prevents me from keeping my productivity while on the airvana network. However, when I leave the network - we tested the phone TP2 - and call waiting tones worked - so it was never your ROM or anyone else's ... I only recently learned that call waiting tones are transmitted from a carrier network to the device.

So I still love this TP2 and wanted to know how can I make use of this fine hardware and your ROM that doesn't have a voice or data plan.

a) I can still tether it to a public wifi, and then enable a VPN connection through some of my wifi devices and paid VPN service..

b) I have a home network wifi, but what can I do with the TP2 while at home if I can already connect other devices to my wifi? Perhaps use it to remote desktop or use it as a side browser..... I don't know.

c) There's bluetooth obviously too - so no ideas on what or how to make use of that.

Any ideas specific with sharkieROM and this phone would be cool - I don't want to sell it and at the same time, I don't want it to collect "dust"


Thanks
