Touch Pro Release Info (consolidated criticalaudioinc info)

[Raging Idiot]

Not exactly very enlightening questions, as it all depends on what you're running. I had my 6700 screen switching between landscape/portrait instantly, and I could open EVERY program (all at once) that the phone shipped with..easily.

How 'bout this... Can you tether freely? How fast GPS locks? lol

Because if it is all being sent to one central best buy location on the 24th and say it would get there on the 25th of oct, the availability of the phones at our best buys in our different states would not be likely on the oct 26th.

I can not release addresses, if thats what your asking now the phones are going to central best buy hubs then are leaving there the same day. There are also other shipments that we are loading directly on to best buy trucks so those are for sure going to stores, so it looks like its doing both.

Now processing is going well, we are head of schedule so everything is looking great, Now will the phone ship perfect with no issues? That can never be promised its a electronic device with software, theres always going to be a issue or two. Now has all the issues been fixed? The ones sprint is aware of they provided updates and repairs, did it fix all of them from what I can see yes, but in truth you never find the true problems until the unit is in the customers hands. So dont expect it to be perfect, cause as you all know we the users are the ones that make them perfect.

Now what im going to do today is use the pro model we have a test out the interface and give you guys some information on how it does. I need some ideas of what you guys would like to know and what you guys would like me to try?

Example: How quick does the screen convert when the keyboard is accessed?

Example: How many programs can you access without a unit freeze or soft reset?

When your in texting mode, Of course this will be in landscape mode, how much of the thread will be visible as oppose to the diamond where you could not see the previous message and only 1 line of your own text while typing. In other words, how large is the text area while texting or how many lines are viewable ?

Forcibly switching EVDO to 1x for battery efficiency is just plain silly, but maybe there's a use for that somewhere.
Also, if a registry entry needs to be added as mentioned before then I think the majority could do that as well. Don't post that now, but an even more anonymous info exchange elsewhere would suffice.

WHAT? Please tell me you don't honestly believe that the majority of users could do these fixes themselves.
Sorry...realize it's off topic, but when I read something so patently ridiculous, I have to respond.

One major question I have is keyboard lag. When typing a text message (quickly) does the phone keep up, or do you have to wait. I experience a lag on my Titan. I know it's not major, but it bugs the heck outta me.

does the camera take pictures pretty rapidly after u take one .. how long till u can take another . putting the review time on minn setting... the flash take a while to recharge...?

smart dial... on the phone screen searching for people.. i would hit three keys on my touch and the system would still just be populating the letter for the first key i pressed on the first key ... is smart dialing quicker.. or there is still a lag

are u having trble with the space bar being that it was made smaller to fit in the 5th row...?

is the phone vibrate fairly strong ? .. is it located behind the keyboard part?

does the screen shut off once the call is connected ...? is there a tone when the device is hung up so u know that the call is disconnected .. not sure if u can test these two since they arent connected to carriers yet

No, i am not asking for any address, i am just saying that if the shipments go one central best buy hub, and it arrives there on the oct 25th, unless for some special sat 25th truck delivery from the best buy hub to the individual best buys stores around, it wont be in stores on the oct 26th.

Does FCC and/or criticalaudioinc and/or anyone else have drawing or diagram or spec of this missing heat shield?

I'm looking for dimensions, thickness, install locations, etc. Since I doubt Sprint/HTC will provide the shield for retrofit, I'm sure I can make one if I had the specs.

Anyone? If I'm successful, I will share.

Thanks.

I'd love to know what the autocomplete for sending e-mails and texts is like. On our current phones we start to type the name of the recipient and the options appear directly under the field we're typing into quickly and easily. But when we've loaded the Diamond/Raphael keyboard onto our current Moguls it breaks this functionality and replaces it with something that's almost useless. It appears directly above the keyboard and seems to autocomplete only AFTER typing the entire name, defeating the purpose of autocomplete. Can you confirm how this functions on the Touch Pro?

lol...well maybe YOU personally can't anyway.
Besides, it was stated as speculation. I've implanted a gps chip in a phone that didn't come with it (although terribly done) and in comparison just adding a little shield doesn't seem all that daunting of a task (as one might speculate).
