About to come over from a Mogul...
 

Just a few quick questions. I see some recommended tweaks. That's all good. But I have a few questions on my favorite and "used every day" apps on my Mogul. Do people have success with the following apps on their TP?

Opera Mini -- love it... need it.
Garmin XT -- Yeah... I get lost still. What's it to ya?
Slingbox -- Nothing like watching one game, while being at another.
C-ApiSRO -- Listening to Howard Stern is great on my Mogul.
S2U2 -- Love this app... looks great... works better.
Kinoma -- I enjoy listening to some internet radio through this.
Skyfire -- Don't really need it, but nice for embedded vids and youtube.

So... success or fail with these apps on the TP? Will I enjoy my trip to the other side? I have LOVED my Mogul for a long time, but Sprint is sending a new TP in the next few days... so I gotta be prepared!

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

It seems a lot of people disagree, but I have to say the TP is so much superior to the Mogul in almost every way. Judging by what you use yours for, I'd say the same will go for you. I'm not sure if Opera Mini will work or not. I used it on my Touch and Mogul, but haven't even wanted to use it on my TP. I prefer the Opera Mobile browser.

I came from a mogul and was a little worried about the transition as well. All programs should work fine. One thing to remember is when you install s2u2 you need to go to ACs site and get the VGA version as the one you have for the mogul won't work properly. It will work but everything will be off. And for the wallpapers you are currently using (and any other pic files too) will need to be resized for vga.

I agree i was also worried about coming to the TP but i couldnt be any happier!

If you like your Mogul, you'll love the Touch Pro. It addresses all of the main complaints with the Mogul...OK, mainly just RAM... but the screen is awesome, TF3D is great, camera is a step up, light sensor/accelerometer are awesome features, etc., etc., etc.

If you don't like WM in general, the Pro won't change your mind. If you do like WM, you'll love the Pro.

In regard to your questions about specific apps, I believe there are VGA compatible versions of everything you listed. And some, like Kinoma, even make great use of the accelerometer and other Pro-exclusive features.

Make sure you get VGA versions of whatever you use.
I was a S2U2 fan in mogul days, but I'm using touchlock pro on the TP since its automatic unlock is darn handy, ymmv.

Also, don't forget to deal with the delayed ringer. Seriously. Follow any of the recommended tweaks guides there.

Re: About to come over from a Mogul...
 

I use every program listed there with no problem whatever except s2u2.

I have tried repeatedly to get s2u2 to work in my TP with no luck at all.

At this point, I don't care as I found PocketShield which works perfectly & has some cool features.

Well, sort of. Sling Mobile works in the TP. but it DOES NOT support VGA resolution unfortunately. Sling works in my TP, I use it every day but it actually worked better in my old Titan/Mogul.

Dude , you are not here yet...:mrgreen:most of us came from the Mogul man, matter of fact I still have mine loaded with games for my daughter when she visits. MAN, the mogul screen looks ugly, no bs. I love the Mogul and its buttons...time to move on dog

Re: About to come over from a Mogul...
 

Thats weird. Sling player actually works better on my TP than my mogul. There was a release of 1.6 that wouldnt even work on my TP but then a second release and its just fine. Sometimes I find the software to be kind of picky, but ultimately I love it. im beta testing the slingcatcher and it is a great device that works along with the slingbox or your pc. im hoping at some point they make some mobile slingcatcher software.

Mr.Morton.
You got an email.

Re: About to come over from a Mogul...
 

I haven't used it in quite awhile, but I was under the impression that the newest version did support VGA and even WVGA. Could be wrong though.

Re: About to come over from a Mogul...
 

Thanks for the info to all of you. Yeah... I've been holding out, but when they offered an upgrade for free... I jumped. Figured I'd have a few days to mess with it, before sending my Mogul back. It will be a sad day to see my friend go, but this new friend seems appealing.

I'll be back...

Re: About to come over from a Mogul...
 

the mogul feels and looks like a piece of crap compared to the TP. I guess whenever you upgrade, the old feels ancient

I came over from teh Mogul.. I loved the Mogul. This phone is far superior except for one issue.. My battery life is no where near where it was with the Mogul. I am going to have to get a second or a larger one.
