Yeah, Sprint rep told me to wait till Wednesday for the refurbs to go in stock. If by then, the store doesn't show that its in stock, then I'll also push for a new one.

Well my radio froze up on me again. I'm going to Sprint now to show them exactly what is happening and demand a new TP2. I don't know how successful I will be but it is worth a try. I'll keep everyone posted.

Do you mean that the radio wouldn't turn on? Today, no matter what I did, my radio would stay in airplane mode. Took it in and they did a hard reset.

Also, my contacts won't sync with Google. Bah!

Yes that is exactly what is happening. I can turn on the radio in the comm manager but I still can not make any calls. I usually have to reset 2 - 3 times before the radio comes on. I have done 4 hard rests in the last 2 weeks and the same thing happens. One time the radio stuck on and would not make a call. I tried taking out the battery 4 times and 2 soft rests with no luck. My first TP never did this any my wife's does not do that. I think that when you cannot make a call on a phone it is time to get a new phone.

For the people with radio issues, if you aren't on the stock rom or radio you need to make certain it's not just the radio you are using. They aren't going to replace your phone for radio issues as a hard reset will just fix that, and regardless installing a new radio would probably fix that.

This is kind of ridiculous, there are people in this thread that haven't even really had problems that are getting NIB TPs, but i've had four of these things and had to buy one through insurance and am having a difficult time. Fortunately, I believe I've found a way to guarantee myself a TP 2, but it's pretty f*cked that people who have had program lockups are clogging the system. At least have a kb failure or something.

At this point if this fails, I'm about to just grab another TP 1, as I can see that too many people ****ed up a good thing for everyone.

And just an FYI, alot of people expecting to get TP2s in the upcoming days will be sorely disappointed to find they've been shipped TP 1s, just something someone might have told me.

I am on the stock rom and stock radio. This is something that is a problem with the phone from day one and is getting worse all the time. Unlike many people who just want a new phone this is a legitimate problem. I do not mod my phone and as I said hard resets do not help.

I agree. You shouldn't have to hard reset your phone to make it function. I cannot believe how much time it takes to get everything set back the way it "should" be after a hard reset.

Mine still overheats in my pocket, especially if I also have my headset in there too. I'm also having dropped calls at work, which wasn't a problem previous to the MR ROM. I also discovered the other day that my ESN is in the range affected by the chrome cracking problem. The list keeps getting longer. The good thing is, though, that this ROM seems to have fixed my overnight overheating/freezing problem. But at what cost? Not being able to make/receive calls?

I figure that a replacement TP is the best option right now. I just want my phone to work, Getting a TP2 would be nice, but is not my top priority.

In a month or two there will be a new phone that everyone will be drooling over and trying to find a way to screw the system to get it. when that happens getting a TP2 shoud not be an issue. I will wait..

I'm not happy with my TP1, but it makes and receives calls without too much problem and can do basic web surfing every now and again. The only reason I'm still using it is because of EnergyROM, the stock ROM sucks so bad I would have smashed the phone by now if I still had it.

It really burns my hide that Sprint sells crappy devices for prices that cost more than an entry level laptop. It even burns me more than if the device breaks you get a refurb, and the quality of refurbs I've received have been so poor that I wouldn't give one to my worst enemy.

I'm going to upgrade to the TP2 at some point, but not through an exchange. With HTC and WinMo, it's always necessary to keep a backup device at home ready to be activated in case of device failure.

does the wel list expire...like is this only going on for a certain amount of time?

Also the phone is under warranty so when does that expire? contract end date? or the time you got the phone?


All times are GMT -4. The time now is 06:40 PM.
