Is the overheating issue on TP1 fixed on TP2
 

Helo,

Touch Pro 1 owner here. Thinking of upgrading to TP2 but won't unless the overheating / battery draining / not charging while using issues are resolved.

Has anyone with a SPRINT TP2 been able to verify the above issues are not present on the TP2?

Can you tether for a decent amount of time without overheating?

Can you use a Bluetooth headset for more than 30 minutes without burning your hand?

Can you charge it while on a call (for more than 15 minutes)?

Does the battery last for more than a few hours of moderate use?

Finally, is the GPS lag fixed?

Re: Is the overheating issue on TP1 fixed on TP2
 

Yes! The gps lag is still there but not as bad. The phone gets warm but nothing like the tp1.

Re: Is the overheating issue on TP1 fixed on TP2
 

Yes the overheating problem is fixed. All battery issue are significantly better. The phone doesn't overheat while talking and charging, of course after a while the battery gets warm while tethering but nothing like before. The gps lag is still there a little bit, it finds you almost immediately but before i never had more then 30 meters off, some times when its locating me it will be 1000 meters off, but thats only if i turn it on inside, even though when i turned it on inside i would never be more then 100 meters off.

Can you tether and charge at the same time?

Anyone try WMWIFIRouter for a decent amount of time (while charging)?

I dont even have the phone in my hands yet and i can tell you that while tethering the phone charges...](*,)

Iam using WMWifiRouter as we speak, i have my cars laptop conected but i have to keep the TP1 in front the airconditioner in order to charge it.

Re: Is the overheating issue on TP1 fixed on TP2
 

I know it has the ability to do that but we all know the TP1 didn't actually deliver that functionality without overheating and draining the battery.

Are you using a TP1 or TP2?

Re: Is the overheating issue on TP1 fixed on TP2
 

I tether with Wifi Router often and it works flawlessly. Overheating is not an issue what so ever. I keep the unit plugged into an AC outlet (which has a higher voltage rate then a USB/computer charge) and when I wake up in the morning the phone is cool to the touch. No issues with overheating... BTW - the battery life is significantly better...

Be careful of condensation.... That would suck! :)

TP1, sorry i edited my first post.

Re: Is the overheating issue on TP1 fixed on TP2
 

Okay, I just got my sprint TP2 and checked to see how wifi router is..well the back is getting rather hot similar to my mogul :/ (it is still charging for now though)

I also had it randomly reset on me, but not sure if that was caused by the heat or some button was pressed when I put it down. If it happens again I'll report.

The developer of wmwifirouter himself tested it on his TP1 vs TP2 and saw HUGE differences. You can read his whole blog post about them at: http://www.youwantthat.com/?p=202

tp1 used to stop charging on me while charging and watching youtube, not the case with the tp2.....

Re: Is the overheating issue on TP1 fixed on TP2
 

Since I stayed up over night working and using WIFI Tethering here is the report I gotta give:

The phone is similar to the mogul, except it takes a bit longer to heat up pretty well...after it heats up well its begins to normalize(seems like after it reaches full charge)

As of over 12hrs of continued tethering, I came back and noticed the phone blinking red and green...and even though it plugged in it was NOT charging. I would say it went down about 10% and the began charging again. So my guess is that is the overheating indicator.

This doesn't mean this cycle didn't happen earlier then 12hr, I just happened to have noticed it then.

unfortunately it is not summer 90 degrees any more for a real test, but it seems like a good improvement in heat management in comparison to my old mogul..still could use some work though..

I will continue testing this and see how it goes :/

Re: Is the overheating issue on TP1 fixed on TP2
 

I can get mine to heat up and do the battery cut-off thing quite easily. My office has minimal cell phone reception, so after spending 8 hours here my phone is typically down to 40% charge by the end of the work day.

I hop in my car, plug in the car lighter adapter and fire up Google Latitude (with GPS on) or simply start playing music from the SD Card. The phone will reach about 70% charge before it stops charging and the orange/green lights flash repeatedly.

Note - I don't observe the problem when I'm off work ... and the phone has access to good signal (aka radio isn't trying to broadcast at max power)

How do you get your username and password to set up the tethering? i looked on the Sprint web site but don't see where you can set that login.
