Not sure about the weather. There is stuff in the registry to change this.
I changed the value for the registry key for the Internet TouchFlo icon to point to just IE rather than an exe file that launches IE and points it to their Sprint store. There is an earlier post about customizing TouchFlo using registry changes.
Another note, you could also change your IE homepage under Tools -> Options to the default. This will not change the TouchFlo shortcut though.

I agree. They should make the volume louder in the next ROM. Guess they followed the iPods example a little too far.

install the htc home customizer plugin and youll be able to set your own city, as well as a lot of other awesome tweaks to the home plugin

When my phone rings I can hear the caller through the speakerphone before hitting the talk key or answering the call. It only happens with callers who also have Sprint. Am I the only one or has it happened to anyone of you?

Maybe I just have a freak phone, but my Touch has the loudest speaker of any of the phones I've had over the last few years (prob a half dozen HTC models, and a few other regular flip phones)...

Have you noticed that your incall volume is higher then when you use Sprint TV or WMP? Thats my only gripe since I got the NFL Mobile working.....

Now to continue searching for the phone popping up after closing out of applications since the recent post got closed w/ no reference post.

There is a known issue with Spb Pocket Plus causing this issue. Well it's at least known to many Sprint Touch owners with Pocket Plus installed. How much effort Spb is putting in to fix it, I don't know. But my bet is it's P+ causing your problem. I got sick of it and deleted P+ from my phone.

This registry change fixes (or works around, anyway) the "phone screen popping up problem" it seems (worked for me)...

Guess I should have done more reading. Seems like there is more to the issue than just Spb software, although that certainly was the cause for me. See this thread.

Is anyone else having sync problems to PC?

I have 2 PCs that I sync to, one with Vista, one with XP. When I first got my Touch I was able to sync to both without problem. But then after a few days I couldn't sync to either. I had installed several 3rd party apps and figured that one of them was causing problems so I figured it was time to hard reset and start over.

I was able to sync again after that so I decided to be a little more cautious about installing apps. Only installed the critical ones that I really use and got rid of the crap that I was just playing with or checking out. No problems for several days and then all of sudden, having problems again without installing anything new. This time around though I only seem to have problems with Vista, XP seems to be ok. Weird thing is sometimes it will sync and sometimes it won't. It will even come and go frequently while leaving the cable connected continously.

I know Vista has some USB connection problems but I am not having problems with any other USB device. I got to believe that something on the Touch is causing the dropouts.

One other thing that I will add, even during the times that I can not make a USB connection between Vista and Touch the pc still recognizes that something got plugged in and beeps, it just doesn't know what device. Also the Touch does always charge off the USB even though there is no connection showing up in device manager.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this?
