Thanks, good to hear. I figured people who arent having problems usually wont post, so you only see the people who do have problems posting.

While the quality is generally improving, things like raised home keys and defective earpieces which were extremely common on the early phones are all but gone now. The newest wave of problems seems to be keyboards becoming disconnected, and the screen's ribbon cables becoming worn out by the slide mechanism.

These are things HTC will address and fix, I'm sure... they just need time to get to them. They really aren't anything a ROM has any say in.

I'm on my fourth TP, with one hardware failure (keyboard stopped working). First had a bad earpiece... you couldn't understand what the other person was saying. Second - keyboard stopped working. Third - data stopped working and Sprint offered to replace instead of correcting the issue.

Apart from this final one most definitely being a software issue, the others have NOT been ROM related.

I was still using the stock ROM when the hardware keyboard failed on my second TP and had never reflashed or unlocked it. In fact, after I called to send it back, that's when I decided to try reflashing it to see if it would fix the keyboard. My first TP was replaced so early, there were no custom ROMS.

Just something to think about.

I'm thinkin....I"M THINKIN!! Nope, can't think of anything. Can't have a battle of the wits with unarmed people.

I have never said no one should never flash a new rom. Personally I don't care. But in MY opinion and mine only, is that I think it's more than mere coincidence that most people that have some sort of hardware or software conflict have a custom rom installed. And I never stated that all custom roms cause these problems. As like you said, HTC did cut corners for these new touch phones. And sorry you had to go through all that with your TP's.

I've had mine since the day they were available at best buy (before sprint offered it), had a custom rom on it since JD released the first custom rom for the touch pro, and have had no problems.

thanks

Since December - no problems. I try to stay away from major tweaking, and stick to regedits and have pmClean optimize it for speed. It's zippy as heck, and nary a problem. Love my phone!!

Since January, stock rom, fulltime use, loaded with stuff (mostly from here and XDA), and no problems whatsoever. Knocking on wood.
Like anything else, people with complaints are usually louder and more visible than people without them. And they are invariably in the smallest imaginable minority. It would get pretty boring around here if 10,000+ PPCGeeksters posted "No problems, everything running perfectly" everyday. LOL.

Bought in December. No problems... outside of the occasion WM glitch.

No issues whatsoever since I flashed MightyRom 4.12
The phone is actually more usable than any phone I have ever had!
