Chevy does not have the right to turn off the power to my dash mount GPS because I don't use their in dash nav.

There is were the argument lies and that is what we will have to demand.

Next they'll charge for wifi connection use. That is bad business bottom line. You want to limit me... let me out of contract. Give me my money back and don't offer me a service that is clearly not Unlimited.

Would it be unfair if Sprint were to block the ability to run a web server, if you were to find a way to utilize your "unlimited data plan" for that?

I'm not arguing the overuse of the network, we are arguing the use of programing to allow us to enjoy a service that has become an industry standard; and yet we are not just left out but blocked from using it altogether. Its a quick connection that probably doesn't even register on your usage compared to all the Weather, GPS, Streaming that we are allowed.

I jumped into this niche with the 6700 and I loved it. These phones are greater because of all potential they have. The coding has just turned a corner with all this touch rev. Most of this moding turns into usable product they just cant create themselves due to time or what ever. These phones will become more of the communication standard once the gen pop sees what we can do with them.

I was originally in the mind frame that we were just screwed. Im not even a programmer but i realize the importance of not supporting a community that literally makes a $600.00 phone justifiable, not just because of the parts included that we cant use. (GPS before jan)

Of all the things they can limit us to a personal message should not be one of them.

Again i say Just Bad Business.

Why dont you just use the free market system and switch to Alltel?

[Artanis]

so yeah were screwed.

Do some research fellas, there IS something being done about it, join in if you're as pissed off as the other 9,300 people on this petition...

Welcome to HTCClassAction.org. This site is intended to spread awareness about the issues with recent HTC Smartphones and PocketPCs, and gather information for a possible class action lawsuit against HTC. That class action lawsuit will be a last resort and is still far off, hopefully we can raise awareness and publicity high enough to convince HTC to solve these issues without a lawsuit. It has however now been over six months since the first affected device was released, and as of yet, HTC has done nothing.

Now, if only HTC would release an official statement promising to give these issues some serious attention, none of this would be necessary, and everybody wins. After all, all we want is use our devices to their full potential!

What can the average joe do to help with this movement to show HTC that we want the product as advertised... besides send money to the legal fund. Hah
Im a second year law student but I cant really contribute anything. I suppose I could bring it to the attention of a professor but I doubt they would be very interested. I just know HTC needs to learn a lesson from all this.

I think many of the reports we so frequently see about the Mogul being "sluggish" and "slow" because of the RAM can actually be attributed to this issue rather than the RAM. If you have 10-12mb of free memory everything should still be running at optimal speed. I rarely drop below that. This driver issue effects EVERYTHING that is rendered on the screen (including Today screen, etc.) and not JUST video playback. This is likely WHY our Moguls seem so sluggish in comparison to some other devices when it really shouldn't. Telling its customers to "buy a Touch" 2 months after they just purchased a Mogul so they get full functionality on the same hardware is a little bit ridiculous.

Here's a question. On a few online/FedEx-the-phones-to-you websites (two that I've seen) It lists the Mogul of being Multimedia Messaging capable phone. My question is first "Multimedia Messaging capable" mean MMS capable? Second wouldn't the information they would have about the phone be directly from Sprint? I mean most of it seems something coppied from the Sprint website. (I can't provide the link from my work compy but I can from home is you guys want it.)

giancarloaf and alpine:

Please read at least enough of the thread to determine the subject matter prior to posting.

there is a website http://htcclassaction.org/ that talks about a possible class action against HTC becuase of the lack of video drivers.

After reading all of that,
"Due to all the attention this page has been getting, CoreCodec did an early release of the new version of their CorePlayer Mobile product. They have graciously provided us with some licenses to test it out, and it significantly improves video playback. We were able to play a normal 700mb one hour TV show episode with little issue and a 350mb one hour TV show played absolutely perfect. Our tests show roughly between 25% and 100% improved performance, depending on the video. The interesting thing about this is, that they use QTV, a Qualcomm technology, to improve the video playback! Begs the question why these devices do not use QTV in this way out of the box..."

Seems like a long commerical...

Do you think this is into Sprint gave them or something they assumed?
