Super laggy new Touch Pro - defective?

Hi guys,

Just got my Touch Pro last week. Coming from the mogul, this phone isn't that much better as it seems to be lagging all the time.

I've upgraded to few different roms, and it hasn't helped all that much either. I've tried the yay4juggs rom, the jd rom, and the eRice rom.

I really hate it when it lags during text messaging, typing emails, trying to close programs or open them, and even dialing phone numbers. It's not always laggy, but it is laggy way too often for a newer phone. I feel like my Mogul is wayyy faster. I'm always closing programs and managing my memory, but it's still super laggy. Not to mention, the battery life seems to be constantly draining, even after turning off incoming beam, activesync, and time synch-ing.

Did I get a bad/defective Touch Pro, or is this normal?

All three of mine were very laggy as you describe. I think it's just luck of the draw. Keep trying until you get a good one. Stick it to HTC on this.

Mine was laggy at times as well, and I turned off TouchFlo and it was pretty fast. I had also installed some addons (the flipclock) and once I removed it, I can now use TouchFlo again with good speed.

chaofun, was your slider on touchflo lagging too? or just the other mentionted circumstances? cause i have a lot of stuff on my pro and touchflo is still snappy. if you don't notice a big difference between the mogul and tp, i'd try returning it... IMO, the tp is much much better than my mogul ever was... i've had mine for a week and a half and still no freezes, my mogul froze almost once a day!

hmmm. . . I've disabled touch flo because I thought it would make the phone faster, but it's not.

The slider didn't lag that much when I did have touchflo on though. It just lags all the time when you open apps, text message, or just do anything . . .

I've tried soft resetting several times, tried hard resetting, new roms too. What kind of physical defect would cause this? Others seem to have had this super lag too?

Try a hard reset.

My slider on my TP was VERY LAGGY. Actually, on all 3 that I had. It was almost an entire finger-width behind.

I played with a Diamond that Sprint accidentally sent me, and it was right on my finger. It was no where near as snappy as my Touch with TF2D, but much, much faster than my Pro.

I think that there are HUGE differences in these phones, depending on where they were manufactured. I wonder if the chipsets were bottom-of-the-barrel, (b-stock,) or something?

At AMD where I work, we do similar things. We produce, let's say, a million processors, and many of them will not work at the desired speeds, so we either clock them down and call them something else, or we sell them dirt cheap. I wonder if HTC did this with the Qualcomm chipset. It might explain all the heat problems as well.
