Moving from Mogul to TP

inmnbob · #1 (**permalink**) 12-14-2008, 12:43 PM

Just wanted to touch the forum for final advice. I have been using the Mogul for a while and with all of your help have it working great. It is getting beat up and the talk button doesn't work--so it's time to look at making a change. My local Sprint store still has a new mogul in stock but also has HTC Touch Pro as well.

Is the TP all that and do you think it is worth upgrading to or should I stay with the Mogul. I've read that there are problems with it --heat and battery etc.

Best upgrade yet, the free ram alone is worth it. One thing I have noticed when upgrading to the TP is if you are transferring over any pictures from older sources to the TP the album program can get hung up on the album.cache file in every folder that had pictures in it. I did a search for every one and deleted them all, then let the TP album program create its own new ones, has been working lag free ever since.

That just answered some questions for me.... Thanks!

There is also some sort of formatting issue between the way the mogul took pictures and the way the Touch Pro handles them, it causes the picture viewer in TF3D to lock up and reboot when you scroll through them.

Yup, that can be easily fixed by resizing the pictures with an external program like Photoshop. If that doesn't work, removing all EXIF data should help.

I upgraded from a Mogul and by the end of the first day with the TP I never looked back....The only negative I have going on is the battery life which I'll resolve with a second battery shortly, other than that the TP is a blast to tweak

You won't even remember the name Mogul after the TP... I personally havent had bad batterylife due to using Juggalo's TP ROM... plus, i don't leave many programs running in task manager... i feel as long as you have a good rom, and don't leave tons of programs running on the RAM, you shouldn't have much a problem with the battery...

Definitely TRAIN your battery tho... let it die completely, charge it to the max, take the battery out, put it back in, charge it for another 30 mins or so, then let it drain completely again. Do this a few times and your battery will reach a MAX Capacity and you will be glad you did it!

From what I was told, battery training doesn't apply to li-ion batteries, only to ni-cads
