I have a dumb question but what do you guys mean when you say this doesn't have HTC messaging like before or something like that? I know before when I sent a text I saw a window pop up that said message sent now i don't. But the texting looks all the same to me as before? But I keep reading that it's differenet or not HTC's. Just wondering. This is my 1st smartphone ever. But I love it and am loving the new 6.5 And I found a cab for the task manger so it's back up top. Rose

I have been on Mr.X manila 2.5 rom until this Sprint update released. Now i'm trying to decide if this new Sprint rom is gonna do it for me or if i need to go back to the best damn TP2 rom ever... Mr.X manila 2.5. Hands down the best trouble-free rom in my opinion and Neodium takes a close second place for Sprint users. Either of these two roms are the fastest, smoothest and most dependable, glitch-free roms ever. I really like the feel of an "official" Sprint rom, but this new 6.5 rom is iffy for me right now.

I got tethering with usb working on the new Sprint 6.5 rom it no problem. I heard someone say Sprint made it more difficult to tether... that's not the case.

they took htc sense 2.5 messaging out and used sense 2.1 messaging. there's screenshots showing the difference somewhere around here. i seen them the other day.

[Rose4uKY]

Oh well if you find them let me me know. Is that why I don't see a window pop up now that says message sent on my text? I don't get a good signal where I work and that is how I knew if it went through or not. Now I just assume it did if I don't see the red message not sent and I also double check my sent folder to be sure. Thanks,

no, thats just a registry setting that you can change for it to give you the message sent notification. you don't need it cause it will let you know if it doesn't go through.

tx_db and wherestheanykey,

Thanks for your help, but I'm totally frustrated and a bit envious at this point. I re-flashed the Sprint 6.5 ROM for the third time to clear all cabs and reg edits for tethering, and I still can't get USB tethering to work. I did the three registry edits and saw no change. It does not put the ICS icon in your start menu that has the selection drop down Sprint or Phone as Modem. You have to use the original ICS icon under tools and all is list is USB or Bluetooth PAN. I clicked USB, connect, and NOTHING... Ugh!!! So, I add the stealth tethering cab, reset, and the new ICS icon is in the start menu. I select Sprint, connect, and NOTHING. On both occasions, te status just sets at Check USB Cable Connection. I used PHM Reg Editor and after the update was my first time ever using one. After I change the settings, I just hit Exit. After the reset, the changes were still there, so I don't know what's wrong. My PRL is 60662. I read a couple of pages back that this PRL makes tethering harder to connect, and people were looking for the 60652 or 60657 PRL. I always have a data connection, so let me verify this: when I connect the USB, should I choose Active Sync, Data File Transfer or Internet Sharing (phone as modem)? I've been selecting Active Sync (as I did on 6.1 with no problems). I don't get it... I use the net occasionally at home (a dial-up only area), so I was so spoiled by the occasional surfs via USB to PC before the update. Grrrr.........

Where did you find the cab for the task manager? Friend has this sprint rom and he wants the quick link back on top. Can you give me a link?

Thanks

Those of you want the old style task manager, here ya go! Install to device.

I just tried this and it doesn't work? Is there a fix?

I got a question I didn't download the update just yet but I was wondering since the update shows the icon on the bottom of the home screen can you take that off if you wanted to...? cause I just usually just the clock in its small format so I can still see my wall paper....
