Well that sucks!

what exactly does this registry change do?

**nrfitchett4** · #13 (**permalink**) 03-05-2010, 03:10 AM

disables the function that mutes the phone if you set it face down. maybe helps battery drain, maybe not.
but if you don't use that feature like 99% of tp2 users, why not.

That. It polls the phone position a lot. Changing that stops the polling. Now if I have nothing but the phone on in the coms manager, I can walk away from the phone for a long time, come back, fire it up, no charge change in the battery.

Still, once you start doing stuff it makes a giant sucking sound like the Detroit Lions. I tested Sprint Nav to get home yesterday, a 4 mile commute. Drained 15% of the battery. That's prolly what happened to Star Trek Voyager, they were using a TP2 as a nav system and it just drained out

I wish find your own answer comments could just be kept to themselves. If you have time to type...find your own answer and then post a link....why not just answer the question directly? Just a thought.

2. sprint t.v. works great for me unless you are watching sports. news and full t.v. shows work perfectly for me.

which browser are you using to test your internet speed? opera mobile says you need flash.

Thanks for the other speed test site. I must have been having a bad connect day because now the Sprint TV is playng fine and my download speeds are above 1000.

The guy said he was sorry and provided me with some useful info. Some times the interweb tubes make me sad.

Can't we all get along? I wish it all made more sense...
