U.S. Cellular TP2 customers.

If you have any old phones laying around that used sim cards..put it in your tp2 and it will get rid of the no-sim icon. i found an old nextel phone i had from about 7 years ago and popped it's sim card into my tp2 and it worked great..even put the phone in global mode lol

Done, tested and confirmed working flawless with an old AT&T prepaid SIM. Exactly as metaltech stated, global mode and all.

Thanks for the info! Love having the signal meter back.

First off I would like to say thank you for starting this thread, I"m really happy this is dedicated for tp2 customers with us cellular service. Second off if you like me have just bought this phone from us cellular like tons of other people have, stop what your doing and get a screen/phone case protector. I have litterally dropped this phone twice and I have two scruffs on them and it bugs the heck out of me. I love this tp2 even tho it has it's own issues, but its a great phone. I have been trying different cabs and apps but not to much with roms yet. I have seen that differents roms interact differently with verizon, att, sprint, etc and us cellular has been covered to much so i'm still learning. here are some of the things i've been doing with my phone so far.
Skyfire app- works great
google maps- works great
facbook app- is terrible for me, very slow, freezes, i browse with skyfire
the channer- good app, channels are more like public tv but its ok.
youtube app- good app, works fine
mp3 trimmer- works great
wifi switch- works great
wallpaper app- works good
reboot now- works good, does a soft reset so you don't have to remove battery cover.

I have had my share of frusterations with this phone but hopefully when I start messing with some roms it'll go away.
Phone can be laggy alot and seems like i have to soft reset atleast once every 2 days. For some reason when i check out how much available memory at the end of the day when running now programs in task manager is about 75%. When my clock updates it will switch my time zones which is a huge problem since i have to always double check to make sure the time is right. I found out that using the charger it came with makes a huge difference when charging battery since it has more power than an motoroyla charger. When my phone charges till the green light shows up i can see battery information like last full charge but then maybe a few hours later the information clears, idk why. My battery can go from 30-40% to low battery real fast sometimes dont know why. For some reason my phone will pop up a 777 could not connect message don't know why but it happens maybe twice a day. I've always noticed that i'll send a text and it will send but a few minutes later i'll check and then it will say it could not send and for so reason when i try to resend or it trys to fix its own it will send duplicates to my friends and they tell me that. It also sends duplicates at random times no idea why. Camera works great, i really like the people function and the scroll bar when you click phone and you can go from contacts, call history, and people its really convienant. I like being able to use this phone as a modem that is very useful. the speapkers are amazing and I use it as a mp3 player alot.
A little trouble shooting help for new users that i have picked up while messing around with this phone. I have had my text messages always say 1 and there is a cab you can download/run on your phone to make it go away and its called fixunreadcount works great. My voicemail displays one unheard message when there is none. To fix this call your voicemail> leave yourself voice> listen to voicemail you left>delete and it clears that notification. That is all I can think of off the top of my head, if you know how to fix any of the other probelms from up above that would be amaaaaaazing if you would post how to fix it. Otherwise enjoy the phone it is really fun to mess around with when everything works right!!
