The htc tp2 likes/dislikes/issues [sprint]

[LbC Ya562]

Yea, I love the TP2 compared to the TP1, I had the 2 for about 2 weeks now the TP1 got boring real fast

Worst thing about the TP was the screen size. I liked how it shined in the begining though.

I'm beginning to miss my TP1.

I don't know if it's my phone that's giving me trouble (please let me know if you guys are experiencing this as well), but here are the cons I'm experiencing:

CONS:

1. Clock and Battery can't coexist together on taskbar (if you choose to display clock on taskbar at all times... you loose the battery status icon).

2. Taskbar/Notifications; u can't click on any of the icons and get actual information. Clicking the taskbar just takes u to the "notifications" screen. The notification screen is a nice feature, but its only good for letting u know u have a new text/voicemail/etc. It doesn't let u check the status of your battery, network, etc.

3. Goes back to "home screen" whenever screen "sleeps"/goes on standby; If you're surfing the net on Opera... or running a program like Skype... once the screen goes off/standby and you wait a minute or so to turn it back on, it resumes back on the home screen (whatever you were working on is closed/hidden/etc.

4. Opera browser doesn't show up on Quick Menu (tab that shows running programs); meaning you have to relaunch the web all over again. Or you can open up the keyboard and push the "internet" button to resume. Both options are VERY inconvinient.

5. Battery is about the same as TP1; from what others were saying, I expected it to last longer. You have to recharge daily.


That's all I can think of at the moment. If you guys know how to correct these problems, please fill me in. Cuz it's really botherinng me.

Love it .. it should have been the tp1 .. my tp1 was crazy

I wish it has the Straight Talk Conference Apps that they marketed and was a huge selling point.. I think T-mobile users have it ... that sucks .. but at least we got a headphone jack.

I love the TP2 - but my biggest beef is, that the Sprint Navigator is not tied into contacts.

Used to be, you could select "Drive To" from the Contact Details screen - there's no such option now. The only thing showing is to map it, using Bing.

Even from inside the Navigator there's no way to get directions to someone in my contacts. I can't copy & paste the address either.

Major Faux Pas!!!

i have found a few ways to fix this, first in setting there is a check box that says close all applications when not in use or something like that, if you uncheck this it works) (remember bad on battery so remember to close things)
second thing i have noticed is its in a different tab, so if you open the internet and search anything (i normally just press a letter and search), and you will now see 2 tabs, close the one your in and open the other.....thats my fix on this issue ATM

Issue: Quality control
There is a little gap between keyboard and screen when closed towards the top of the phone and there is a lot of play when my screen is tilted.

My only dislike is the proximity sensor but ill get used to it.
