I changed the title to help clarify my intentions of this thread.

IM+ v7.0.1 -

In the mean time, Palringo v2 works great.

Not on my verizon tp2 Palringo didn't. Everytime I booted up the phone it would try and reinstall itsself. Now that I uninstalled it I am getting an error in reference to the program on bootup.

I personally dont recomend Palringo v2 at all.

Another program I had problems with was the spb shell 3.5. lost auto download of mail. None downloaded for 2 days nor would it. Screwed with the async. Also left me with no way to check if mail settings were still set properly or any ability to change them. They offer the weather program along with it, however only half the program worked. Upon uninstall but leaving the weather program loaded weather program now works as it should. Also upon unstall I have lost my start menu when turing off flo. Whoops! Task manager would also say an error however it was functional. It also added cities all over the globe which could not be removed and again with the mail issue, no send/receive button since it refused to do anything. 3dviewer set as default didn't fundtion properly. Bummer on the program. some things were neet for quick access. Another quirk they have is, ok we have a contacts button on bottom bar, but in their grouped icons for professional layout you were unable to remove that one. and NO quick access to make a phone call. You have to add the widget to the screen. Dam. and last but not least. It ATE Battery power like you wouldn't beleive.

If what you have found to be true between verizon & sprint, Seems spb needs to go back to the drawing board.

If you have been able to reproduce issues, please post and I will update the list.[/QUOTE]

I had both the Verizon and Sprint TP2's for about a week while switching carriers. Tweaks that work for one don't always work for the other. Proof of this is that Verizon and Sprint each take a different tweak to disable SMS Sent notifications.

And to add to what you are saying, it could be a bad ROM flash from the factory. Many of us who have been flashing in the last 3 months have gone to a procedure of flashing back to the stock ROM and then reflashing the ROM we want to use. Not just flashing the next ROM.

It seems to fix a lot of problems. I know I personally hard reset the phone to test the other issues I was having and could not get Sprint or Verizon to send me the shipped ROM installers. I eventually found them on this site.

That being said, other software, corruption, bad flash, they could all be reasons for something breaking the phone. Which is why the guy with the MS3.5/Palringo problem really doesn't count yet. Although I do know of a LOT of problems from SPB system tools now that the new builds of WM6.1 and their hardware are out. They are trying to revamp their entire line and taking way too long to do it. The result is them falling way behind the curve. I know when I was using MS3.0 I had problems with certain functions of the phone on my TP1.

Sounds to me like you need to do a hard reset of the phone. I personally, along with several other people I know on TP2 are using v2 with no problems. That being said, there are issues for different people for both versions. At that point, this is a problem with the app, NOT something that breaks the phone or causes default functions of the phone to not work. Please see their support forums to reference their software bugs.

FYI guys, I found a post on the official Microsoft Windows Mobile forum where a Microsoft rep posted that Bing's "Locate Me" not working on CDMA devices is a known issue and they have been working on a fix for a while now.

So anyone who tells you theirs is working on a Sprint Touch Pro 2 needs to do a little better job "idiot proofing" their posts...
