Cmonex will get this worked out, your device will eventually work fine, and if the possibility of bugs is too off-putting to accept, the unlockers, (most) ROMS, and HardSPL's on the Kaiser/Tilt series are quite stable, free, and already work on GSM.

Those of you that came from Touch Pro 1's *know* this device is already vastly more stable than what we came from.

Sooooo...chill, it's gonna work out!

+1, all the stuff just released is practically beta versions of the rom's, I will wait a month or so, at least so someone can come out with a 6.1 rom.

I fully know the reprecussions of beta testing things, and none of what I mentioned should be construed as gripes or dissatisfaction. I just pointed out what bugs I came across so the developers have a platform to start with when it comes time to fix the kinks. That's pretty much what beta and preliminary release testing is all about.

I'm also perfectly happy with the stock rom. In fact, had it not been required to unlock the SIM, I wouldn't even have flashed HSPL as I don't plan to upgrade until the official 6.5 is out.

Unlocking the SIM isn't required to use the HSPL....

Maybe someone can give me a little clarification on the sim unlocker function, in the sub-level of the building i work at, verizon and sprint(cdma) gets spotty to no radio signal, while att and tmobile(gsm) works through out the sub-level. if i do the sim unlocker would i be able to switch to a gsm signal with the same sprint sim card? or would i be required to use a (gsm) sim card? also would this switch accure automatically or is it something that has to be manuely done?

Psst, I think he meant it the other way around... that you need HSPL to unlock the SIM.

You will need an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM card, not a Sprint one. I was wishing the Sprint would work too, but it doesn't so hence why I flashed back when I had issues.

NO, it's not a "just released device". It's been out (and rock solid) for a couple months now. The HSPL and unlockers are, however, just released, and you're exactly right that they are more like beta releases.

But at the end of the day, being functional is a requirement of a device. Nobody here has bashed anyone or anything, but there is no wrong in pointing out faults and problems... especially in "beta" / newly-released software.

Yes, the issues will be worked out, but in the mean time people do need to know where they'll have problems so they can make intelligent choices that keep them functioning.

You have to get either a Tmobile or ATT card.

i have a t-mobile sim card and i am not having any problems. Not sure why some of you are having problems

My phone lagged so bad that I have to reboot my phone when I switch between CDMA and my ATT SIM card,waiting for a newer patched radio from cmonex,she mentioned that she would release a patched version soon.

i paid for the unlocker, but ill wait for the sprint patched radio, i guess
