I, as well as all of you, have been dealing with the imageon drivers issue since I got this phone and am personally getting seriously tired of the sub-par performance of Sprint's "Top of the line" phone.

I own 4 PPCs. I own a T-Mobile MDA(Wizard), Sprint PPC-6700(Apache), Sprint Touch(Vogue), and HTC Touch Dual(Nike).

The Wizard has a 200MHz processor. 2-3 years old
The Apache has a 400MHz processor. 2-3 years old
The Vogue has a Qualcomm 400MHz MSM7500 dual core processor. owned 3 months
The Nike has a Qualcomm 400MHz MSM7200 dual core processor. just bought 2 weeks ago

Now someone please explain to me why my 2-3 year old phones, especially the Wizard which only has a 200MHz processor, is outperforming my Vogue and Nike? I can't believe it.

I know why they are performing better. It's because they were manufactured right. The drivers for their hardware was included...

On my Vogue with the original ROM as well as every custom ROM I have tried, I get major lag if I receive an SMS while actually using the device for something other than as a phone.

On my Wizard and Apache when I have slide2unlock installed, I can actually slide and unlock while receiving a text without any lag but when using my Nike and Vogue, I have to wait at least 2 seconds to unlock my phone after receiving a text.

The newest version of slide2unlock has the ability to control slide2play when the device is locked given slide2play is running in the background. My Wizard and Apache which only have 64MB of RAM can handle slide2play running and playing a song while unlocking my device better than my Vogue and Nike.

If I have a song playing on my Nike or Vogue, I cannot really navigate the phone without having to wait for the rediculous lag since the phone cannot handle the additional strain. Why is it that my Apache and Wizard can?

When I had Wisbar Advance 2 installed on my Wizard it ran great. No real lag at all. The same goes for my Apache. Why is it that when I click on the start button on my Vogue or Nike it seems to take forever to respond to the screen tap and open the cascading start menu when using Wisbar?


Short and sweet, I'm really getting tired of the lacking performance issues on these 2 phones that are supposed to be real power houses when it comes down to it... One of the guys I work with has a Tilt and has noticed the same thing on his and I know it has to do with the same bull**** reason my 2 "High End" phones are performing like ***...

Does anybody know if we are any closer to actually having our devices perform like they were built to? I have been over to htcclassaction.org but it seems like they are just wasting their time over there. They are never going to get anywhere. HTC and Qualcomm are just too large of corporation and as long as their call centers are the ones receiving the complaints, nothing will ever happen as far as delivering any real updates. That said... It's all up to us to fix our own equipment.

Anybody up to the task?
