My TP2 sucks

[revaaron]

stock 6.5 ROM. I keep reflashing my phone every 2 weeks.
starting off with:
sprint_tp2_cleanup_wm65.cab

and then installing a few simple things.
after 2 weeks, the phone is slow as hell.
Right now, I can't pick up my phone in the morning and many times during the day. I'll see the screen say incoming call and I'll slide the slider over "Hello?" nothing. look back and the phone "missed call". fail.
another time, I hit the call pick up physical button "Hello?" nothing. Look back at the phone and it's still ringing. Hit the Pick up button again and I hear them, but the phone finally registers 2 clicks on the pick up button and promptly hangs up on the person. fail.

next, I click the icon for IE and it takes about 1 minute for it to come up, freezing the phone. When IE comes up the zooming in and out that it does is ridiculous. And the txt size to the size of input boxes... don't even get me started.

next, this happens a couple times a day, I'll click the "on" button.. nothing. I'll let it sit, holding and hitting the on button. nothing. If I wait about 5 minutes and try again, the phone comes on like nothing was wrong. by that time, I've usually pulled the battery which loses any txts that I just got.

text messaging is almost unusable a lot of the times cause the UI freezes so much while switching back and forth. That's what I use the damn thing for most of the time.

get a better rom

[revaaron]

ok, which rom is better? I like the HTC sense UI 2.5.x
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.

well damn lol, I'm not getting blamed for a 60k fine lol, I suggest doing a little snooping around the rom section, I've heard the sprint lover's rom is good, but haven't tried it personally, I use the affliction rom, but I'm not using sprint so I'm not sure how it would react with your provider.

learn how to cook your own.. or use stock.... you get fined 60k thats your fault, not whoever made the ROM... YOUR flashing at YOUR own risk! you need to ask yourself does not being on stock out weight the potential fine if your phones is tweaked out and not working..

ill guarentee theres nothing your phone does that mine doesnt, and im running stock, still modded out to the max... AND i can answer my phone without fail.......

i used mightyrom for a while, really fast and really stable. on stock i'd soft reset my phone twice a day, on mightyrom i soft reset once about every 5 days

after a couple hours with my iPad and it's instant access to all apps, my phone became a huge duce in my mind.

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.

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...
