i have been using it without any issues. i do sometimes experience a drain on the battery and heating up issues but i do not think it's related to groovefish.

It could be AIM for mobile as i haven't experienced this issue until after installing and leaving AIM running in the background. Does anyone know of a better IM application?

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...

Thanks for making my point. Their problem. Not something that broke the phone. And yes, when I turn GPS on, mine works. Still have no clue what your are talking about it not working.

I said it over and over, I was NOT talking about getting a GPS lock- I was talking about using the cell towers to locate you (which can be done indoors, and is much faster than a GPS lock- open Google Maps and see how fast it finds you).

Look man, you started this thread with a subject of "What doesn't work on the TP2" and the first line of the first post is "This is my list of what currently does not work on the TP2, causes stability issues, etc. For all you guys wondering why certain things don't work, READ THIS!!!"

You then went on to explain how you had a Sprint version and a Verizon version, and certain things work on one of them and not the other.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but I own the Sprint version, and also an unlocked European version that I have been using on AT&T. And I am here trying to tell you that Bing works just fine on the GSM version, does NOT work on the Sprint version. There is a work around to use it anyway (using the GPS) but the way it was intended to function does NOT work on the Sprint version.

I even went into great detail asking you to check certain settings and options to verify that we were talking about the same thing. You chose to ignore that request, and instead put me on blast like I was some kind of idiot who just didn't know how to use the app/device/whatever.

And you can say it doesn't belong here all you want, but it is no different than you talking about the stuff in the first post, and everyone else talking about the various apps that don't work all throughout this thread.

It is an app that does not work correctly on the Sprint version of the Touch Pro 2. You came in claiming that yours works and acted like I didn't know what I was talking about. I tried to be nice about it, but as it turns out now there is proof that you didn't know what you were talking about and you were wrong to put me on blast like that.

For the record, this was posted by a Microsoft rep, on a Microsoft owned forum:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/e...-d45b618a6cd2/
"In case this might also help: The Bing team has been tracking and isolating this issue. They reported to me today that Bing does not work with CDMA at this time but they are continuing to investigate what they can do including collaboration with carriers. Note that some CDMA carriers lock GPS/Locate Me for 911 use only, hence some of this limitation issue."

I see you have now changed the title of this thread (after the fact) so I'll let you continue on. But I just had to set the record straight here that you were originally asking for things that didn't work on this device and did work on other versions, I gave a great example, and you then got up on a high horse and put me on blast for some reason- acting like it was my stupidity that was causing the problem. Next time maybe you can be a little more objective and actually know what you're talking about when you decide to put someone on blast like that.

If you don't pay attention on forums like this, then you won't learn too much (which can lead to you jumping all over people for not knowing something when it turns out they were right all along and you were the one who didn't know what you were talking about).

Flashing a touch pro hard spl will break it!

Huh?

This thread is about what DOES NOT work, not what does.
