Re: Brutally Honest 1st Impressions - Epic Fail
I absolutely had the incoming call lag until I switched to the WinMo dialer.
That POS HTC dialer (why does it take up so much memory) causes my phone to ring at least two rings later than the WM skin. It used to infuriate me to watch it light up in the cradle on my desk but not make a sound until it was almost ready to go to VM. I would be glad to change back to the HTC skin (it is MUCH better looking), but I have tried every single fix & tweak I have ever seen to make it work & none of them worked for me. ~John Last edited by jmorton10; 01-26-2009 at 09:09 PM. |

Am I running a custom ROM now? yes. Is it because I had to in order to have a usable device? No. As I said, I used it for a month with the stock ROM, I made no changes that couldn't be made via the devices own control panel because I was afraid of all the horror stories I had read on here. |

Re: Brutally Honest 1st Impressions - Epic Fail
lol another thread crying about the TP. if everyone hates HTC and winmo, why bother getting the phone in the first place? I dont understand it. I honestly think some people just make threads like this so we can be impressed by their pretty writing prose and incredible use of commas. I have never had a problem with my TP. to be completely honest, the only reason I tweak my phone is because its fun. the out of box functionality is great. I dont have phone lag like most people say. I dont have any of the other issues that people complain about. I am guessing that most of these problems occur only after they have "tweaked" their phones in the first place. either I am the luckiest HTC customer of all time or some people just do not know how to use their device. if the iphone is so bonerific, get it. enjoy it.
its like when something tastes terrible and you turn to someone else and say, "hey, this tastes like crap. here, taste it." if you know HTC sucks and winmo sucks, why subject yourself to the torture that is HTC? I suppose it is plausible that someone would buy a phone just to see how the crappy food tastes, then complain about it? btw, I have never reset my phone. never had to. I have made backups in case I screw something up while "tweaking" it. but have never had to hard reset. Last edited by henbone11; 01-26-2009 at 09:15 PM. |

I was A/Bing my TP next to a guys iphone at work the other day, & although you could certainly see that mine was higher resolution I would kill for a big bright screen like the iphone that is almost as visible outside in direct sun as it is inside the building. ~John |

Re: Brutally Honest 1st Impressions - Epic Fail
Funny, most of the problems listed are pretty nitpicky and don't affect everyone (I don't have many of them). I have zero reliability problems with calls, voicemail, etc. and did not even hard reset the phone when I got it.
(EDIT: I missed that you mentioned the heat/charging issue, which is IMO the only serious problem with the phone.) To answer the question, my phone is tweaked quite a bit BUT my tweaks took care of irritating things, not missing or nonfunctional features out of the box. The phone is at its core as capable now as it was when I bought it. Last edited by dr g; 01-26-2009 at 09:29 PM. |

I'm not complaining about the touch pro. Really I'm not. It's wonderful. We are all truly blessed to have them, and they are the best gosh darn devices ever! I guess there are some people who can both enjoy a thing, and still honestly assess its shortcomings, and those that cannot.

Re: Brutally Honest 1st Impressions - Epic Fail
henbone, i think you missed the point. this is not a thread so much about the pro as it is about windows. i am not saying that i want an iphone. i want my sprint phone to perform like it was advertised. i don't think that's asking too much. and i will be the first to admit that maybe i'm not ready for winmo if it means you have to hack your phone to use it. some of you just got your pros and have no problems with them. good. but i've had mine since its' inception and this is my 3rd winmo product and TO ME they are getting worse.

I've always had friends that ran the TPro stock and have had no problems. I'd call them and they'd pick up after a few rings. They'd call me and I'd pick up after a few rings. But, as with all electronics, there's bound to be problems and there will be people that have no problems. The people that don't have a problem, you don't see on the board posting. My phone's got no problems! I haven't had any problems and this is one of the few phones I've gone and not soft reset after every few days. |
