The solution is pretty much, remove all old pics from your Mogul.

well Im having the same issue with the weather everyone else is having. Im posting this from the pro and it not auto completing in opera, but it was working in txt and emails. Probably some funky Opera text box glitch.

I have been using the phone non stop since around 9pm and im happy to say battery is still kicking and i dont feel its that warm at all (then again the mogul has no temperature at all so i can see how this isnt good for some people.

The home interface seems glitchy... sometimes flicks work sometimes it doesnt...kinda annoying.

Finally, Opera is great step up from IE but I still like skyfire best... Opera better get flash and ajax support or its going to be left behind. Or maaybe HTC needs to look into using skyfire for their next phone. (HD PRO with wimax anyone? ;) )

Yeah on my keyboard 1, 2, and 3 and bright on the left side, and the 0, -, = keys are brighter on the right side. I was a little disappointed about it, but nothing I can't live with.

I mean yea, livesearch has better routing and if you get lost it reroutes you but google maps actually shows the address on a street!! so if you zoom in all the way you can see the addresses. I didn't discover this until recently but it's pretty good knowing that we have options.
still havin gps problems, and when I set it to com0 and reset still get the same error...maybe a radio update will fix it some day....:'(

cant believe im saying this, but i miss the scroll wheel from my mogul. I just now realize how much i used it to scroll in everything from outlook emails to website text... any reason why the touch wheel cant be made to work everywhere just like the one in the mogul? Well thats my main feature request right there.

Re: TP Software Issues/Unresolved Issues/Feature Requests
 
ok so..got everything installed and working..Or so I thought...Then these issues arose

1.YahooGo 3.0- Makes the screen all distorted to the point I cant even input info to log in

2.Skyfire-Only shows up on half the screen
update...ok found out that skyfire is NOT compatible with VGA phones ...sighs....

3.SUS2- causes multiple issues in general...ie freezing the phone until I hit the home key(even during setup)tho im trying the newest build now and hoping that it works.
k 1.33 is still freezing the phone :(

Anyone else using these programs have similiar issues??

And is there anyway to copy my IE bookmarks to Opera 9.5???

Don't worry those problems and/or many others are coming

I see I'm not the only one getting the "connection error" on the weather tab...
I was gonna exchange this unit but I guess it's gonna make a difference.


Is the weather tab working fine for anyone?

No, keep the gps at com 4.

Make sure you enable QuickGPS as that is defaulted to manual updates.

Since I let QuickGPS update, I get near instantaneous fixes!

Weather FIX Found

If you are getting connection errors when trying to download weather, then I have found a fix.

This problem sounded familiar to issues I worked with back on the old HTC Home Plugin with its weather tab.

The issue is with the server we pull weather from which is http://weather.manila1.htc.com/. This server is basically acting as a proxy between you and accuweather.com where it formats the data to work correctly for the HTC weather app.

One solution is to bypass that server with another one that's been freely provided by an XDA user (N2A) for quite a while now. His "proxy" is http://weather.not2advanced.com/. His server then acts as the proxy between your phone and accuweather.com.

To get our phones to use his server requires a little work, but not much depending on the method you use.

I used THIS METHOD which simply requires you to download a zip file and put the folder on your phone somewhere. Run the exe from the phone's file explorer and that's it. If you wanted to add a custom city (one not already in the HTC app), you would need to modify the text file the author includes.

You can also go with THIS METHOD but its a little more involved.

Keep posting guys, I am forwarding all this information up directly to HTC for review! These seem like very small fixs but im kinda concerned about the TouchFLO crash due to we didnt have that on our test model at all. But keep them coming!

Hi Crit
Out of curiosity, has HTC just recently begun to be more interested in what folks think and to also grab some needed info about problems from the community? If so, why the sudden change? I'm not complaining I'm just curious and am happy they are looking more too the consumers these days. Thanks.

HTC came apparent to looking more into the community when they noticed there engineers and designers where pulling fixs from forums such as this, This caused a issue, but there defense was -( We are getting the issues directly from the user instead of what only we can find)-. To me I completely agree with that statement! Now HTC does have there support check for issues online, checking forums, websites and looking at new software and widely used software. Notice there are some very cool apps on the Pro, Well thats due to reviews and comments from users, They look at what was widely used on the phones and what users may like. To put it simple HTC now does view issues of a consumer side now, and will continue aslong as we keep posting and providing information and possible fixs.

Worked like a charm..
But if this is/was a server issue how come it didn't affect everybody?

No clue. All I know is this cuts HTC's proxy out of the mix and seems to fix the issue.

The Contact list in MMS messages take for ever to populate.

I select a picture to send to someone, it opens the picturemail app. I click add contact. I wait 60 seconds for the list to populate.

Minor, but annoying

Well, this fixed my weather, but I added a custom city to the text file, and when I ran the EXE, it gave me some error about writing to a read-only file (no details), and neither of my custom cities are on there (and I've done this before).

I have experienced that same issue on the Diamond, it's some type of anomaly. I found that after I reset my phone that fixed it, you can change your glyphcache to give your device overall more speed. My touchflo 3D is faster, contacts load up damn near instantly and the text input can keep up with my quick hands.

Had that problem too. Make sure you don't still have that cover on that it came with.

I haven't noticed anything at all, but there is one issue which bugs me.

There's definite input lag inside threaded SMS when using the hardware keyboard; this is where I spend about 90% of my time. I've tried all the usual things (disabling prediction, auto complete, e.t.c.) but none of that helps. I noticed that the soft keyboard actually has immediate response to touches. I tried switching that to the generic windows keyboard in the input settings, but it switches back. Is anybody else experiencing this lag?

you will have to delete all old pictures to stop it from crashing the home screen. I just change the default location for now.

Go the the power sprint and update the picture mail app. This will fix that problem.

I've narrowed down the audiomanager crash. It has to be related to the music on my microsd card, because I only get the crash with that card in.

Has anyone else noticed their backlight being inconsistent - I'll be using the phone, and the backlight keeps changing intensity - one moment it gets brighter, the next it dims.

The biggest complaint I have, is more of a design flaw in that when you set the phone down on a desk, there's no little dimples/feet on the battery cover, and so that camera lens gets scratched very easily. This is going to end up costing Sprint plenty in returns/exchanges...

Isn't it because of an ambient light sensor, it automatically adjusts the backlight? Hopefully there is a manual override.

*Edit. Found it in the obvious place. It's under Settings -> Backlight. Uncheck "Auto Adjust Backlight".

What about Tethering with the Sprint Touch Pro?

Anyone figure out all the extra registry entries we'll have to edit or remove in the Sprint Touch Pro?

Tethering should definitely be it's own sticky thread.

Just go into the settings menu and access the screen settings. There you can turn off the auto brightness adjustments, I'm going to leave it on and see if it saves me battery life.

Holy crap the left and right buttons on the D-pad are really hard to use without hitting something you don't want to. Are all Pro's like this or is it just mine?
