go back to 6.1/2.1 rom. stock roms just aren't optimized to run 2.5 well on our hardware.
or turn off sense and go with mobile shell, much less of a memory hog and more functional.

sounds like you need to carry a laptop or a netbook. 600-1000 emails a day??

Have you been on http://text.returntothepit.com? does the size of the fonts/qik reply get all messed up? WTF is up with that? I have this teeeeeeeny tiny textarea and HUGE forum lettering. the TP didn't do that with PIE.

Try installing IE Toggle. It allows you to run Internet Explorer as PIE (like it was with the earlier Windows Mobile versions) instead of Internet Explorer 6 Mobile. Basically you'll get back the older PIE which I like better for certain websites, but you'll still be able to use the new IE6 if you need to. Just click on IE Toggle and select PIE from the menu. Not sure if this will help but PIE seems to handle fonts better for me.

If I had to type a tenth as many emails and texts as you say you do on a freaking iPad, I'd hang myself.

To say nothing of dragging that ridiculous thing around with me everywhere...

You don't need to get a different phone. It's not the phone that's sucking, it's the friggin ROM. Stock 6.5 ROMS regardless if it's Sprint or VZW, they just plain suck. Stock 6.1 ROM's are better ...well IMO. Not everyone will experience these issues with the 6.5 ROM, it just depends on what they're doing with it and what software they have installed. For me, I'm avoiding the stock 6.5 upgrade. Way too much trouble if you ask me. Some of you can argue that "oh 6.5 works just fine for me, it's a good ROM" , but it doesn't fix the problems other people are having pain and simple. Stock 6.5 is a buggy piece of s***. I wouldn't use that thing if it were the only other ROM available period. Too many things that either don't work, or run excessively slow. If you want it to work right, try flashing a different ROM. I would say SSK, but I think that is only for Verizon. Again, you don't have to go out and buy a new phone. Kill the AV software somehow and unlock. If you're on Vista, that can sometimes be quite a task because built-in stuff often blocks the HSPL. Just disabling it sometimes don't even work. All I say is do what you can, or at least try to. Yeah, I wish there were a different unlocker, but that is all that's available.

Also, as a temporary fix, try disabling TF3D. TF3D is actually Sense, or manilla. Don't know why all the names. Go into Today Screen config and uncheck the TouchFlo3D check box. I know it doesn't look real nice, but it should solve your call lag problems, among other things.

Thread should be "Most TP2's suck". Some are decent, but the crap refurbs get annoying

I've looked for instructions and none of the ones I found on mightyrom and energyrom seem to be concrete. I want specific directions to get my phone working on sprint without fail. I'm on call all the time, if my phone doesn't work, the fines from it can be around $60K.

yo same thing for me on call at least 6 to 8 times a month. I need my phone to work. currently i am on sprint running plutonium 6.5.x I gotta say from stock to running mightys my own energys. and like almost all made on here for cdma. vins is best my phones every run.
