No problems for me on the Stock Sprint WinMo 6.5 version.
I did have the sleepy phone syndrome when I first updated to 6.5.
Then I got a replacement. No issues since.

The problems aren't just limited to Sprint. My Verizon version worked well for about a year, even with unlocking, and a multitude of ROM upgrades... then all of a sudden the phone started into an endless reset loop, as if the end button was constantly being pressed. Somehow managed to flash back to Stock ROM took it in, and got a refurbished unit. This one kept on shutting down randomly when I would close the keboard. Took it in again, and they wanted to send me another refurbished piece of crap. I opted just to upgrade to Droid Incredible, and my TP2 is now sitting in a drawer gathering dust. Loving Android but I don't know if I'll abandon Windows Phone just yet, will wait to see what the upcoming WP7 units have to offer.

I'm just gonna say you guys wouldn't have these problems if you used a 6.1 rom. Go ahead and flame me but I really believe your issues are 6.5 related.

No.don't flame him..its exactly what horndoctor wants!!!!...lol jk

For me I used wm6.5 and it was fairly stable with no issues...until I got my epic..then out of no where the homescreen on my TP2 kinda started to lag once I got my Epic and paid more attention to it (jealousy?)..but overall I'd say yeah 6.1 is smoother.

sounds like typical stock 6.5 issues. im on the 6.1 stock with the GT2L cab (dont know what its like without) and ive only had 2 lockups across 2.5 weeks. so no issues at all my only one is that i cant find a sense 2.1 cab or a working 2.5 cab.

I forgot to mention, that was 7 months without any problems or a hard reset so it was way overdue for one.

ditch sense. imo, that's the problem. been running 6.5 since april + mobile shell. it's just a lot better; no cookie or maxsense can compare the the features and stability.

I've had maybe 3-4 lockups after MONTHS of running, along with 3 email accounts, and decent amount of text and calls. The only time I get lockups is when I play with overclock tool. The speed wasnt worth the lockups. My job is too valuable for a mediocre phone.

I'm pretty sure sense and archsoft overlay is the problem. I use windows messaging only.

no, in my family we have 4 tp2 and have gone through 3 different replacements for various issues.

the hard key buttons on the keyboard stopped working on a few letters. got a replacement, but its having similar issues again.

another one had the end button hard key stop working. all the other three buttons worked normally. and because of this, for some reason it caused the battery to drain from 100% down to 10% in less than 2 hours when the phone was on standby with no use.

the last one seems to be a common issue now where after about a year, the phone decides to constantly soft reset itself in an endless loop.

btw, i'll spare you the details, but in the process of having these issues with the 3 tp2's... i went through i believe more than 12 refurbished phones in total and countless wasted hours since quality control was absent on the phones sent to me... and thats how i have all the extra tp2 batteries and back case covers

shit ill take some of those extra batteries off you. my battery has gone to crap within the last few months, it doesnt last for anymore than 2 and a half hours with heavy use when before i would get a lil bit over 4 hours and now its doing what my TP battery used to do which was to overheat on the charger and discharge.
