First of all, I will start by mentioning that this is my third Touch Pro from Sprint and I just want to confirm something before I take back to the store.
Is there anyone else who updated to the newest official firmware and have problems with your video playback from your albums. I had some videos stored from my old phone on a sd, and when I try to play it on this phone, it would cause a lot of jagging, freezes, audio playing while video is not. I then recorded a video with the camcorder and when I went to play back, it did the same thing. The settings I have it in is in
-CIF 352x288
-MPEG4
If its the phone, then I'm glad because I can go get myself the Touch Pro 2 at the store for free.
Things to note,
-had no problem like this on the 2nd phone
-upgraded the firmware as soon as I got home with this phone
-been like this for a while, just never cared to get an answer until now
Any feedback to a similar problem or non-exsisting problem would be greatly appreciated.
Look, if your ultimate goal is to get a free TP2, then just tell them that the phone gets unholy hot or some defect from the phone itself (battery lasting less than half a day with moderate use, etc). Believe me that the TP from Sprint has a bunch of those... If you start going by software, believe me that they will find a way to either fix it or convince you that it can be fixed with an update...
were you getting a free tp2 due to these issues?? Because im having the same issues as well including that my battery gets extremely hot and will not charge

I'm curious about this myself. I was gonna get a Hero in a couple of months when my contract is up, but if I get a TP2, I might hold out for a little while.
There is a list somewhere that after a certain date, if your phone is with in the manufacture warranty of 1 year, and you have insurance of both types with sprint, you can switch out the phone to a list of 10 other phones, the TP2 and the hero being among those.
Still a sure answer on this would be great. Thanks egz on some insight. And gxt, you mean you are having problems with video playback too?
So I think I'll be going to the sprint store tomorrow, I'll let you guys know how it goes, unless I don't go that is.

What insurance do you have to have? Where is this list?
My 2nd tp just crapped out on me and insurance just sent me a "new" one.

im going to give this a shot.
Hello everybody(insert simpsons joke here), it looks like i finally went to the sprint store. After what seems like a lifetime ago, i told them the problems I had, they said they would do a hard reset, and to come back in an hour. An hour and a half later and I will be getting mnyself a touch pro 2 soon. Now the only bad part is that i need to call this store to find out when they would have any touch pro 2's in their warehouses. So at least for now, I am assed out, oh and forgive me if this comes off as bad grammer, I am typing this from my touch pro 1, the screen is too small.
does anybody have multi-player on asphalt 5?
because i don't
i didn't even know there was multiplayer till my friend showed me on his vibrant and i was like "why dont i have that???" we both purchased it from the gameloft online store
no multi player for me,
but any tips or cheats to win the dam elimination races?

im almost through the whole game and eliminations were hell!
i was stuck on the san fran elimination forever
but what i do is just slam into another cars side into the walls
or i drive by them side by side and use a boost
I beat Asphalt 5 about a week ago, the eliminations are a pain. What I did was take out the last place car from the start, and every time he gets back to speed, keep ramming him. Worked for me YMMV of course. Finally unlocked the Gumpert, but I never found the 'secret menu' that I've seen online.

eliminations are easy, just ram them into the wall...
and i backed everything up with MyBackupPro, flashed a new firmware, restored, game didnt need to download stuff or anything but no savegame data? not even a folder for savegame in first place and nowhere to load career or anything ingame?

You just have to change the acceleration to manual and stand your car on a narrow road where you know all cpus must pass by then the'll be slammed to wall after hitting your car. That's how I cheated (but it's not really cheating right? because that's how cop's cars do it on the Escape levels).
I just beat the game, unlocked the last Ferrari Fxx at level 49, and beat all the reward, the game says there's a prize for beating all reward but I can't see anything new in the garage... Anyone knows why? I play it on my N1.
Does anyone know why or know a way to get Monopoly that they just released on the market on the Rezound. It says its not compatible and I am getting no answers from EA games. They just say that they don't have any Pogo games (not even sure what that means cause they have EA games that you can download for this) on the Rezound (makes it sound like its its own system or something). I have been waiting for this game forever and even had a bootleg version that didn't work as well on my Eris. Read it would it works on Bionic and Thunderbolt but not this one???? I am a bit ticked about this. What is with these companies??? I tell you.
Anyhow if anyone knows let me know please. Thanks
I had it on my Incredible and used Titanium Backup to transfer it to my Rezound without any issues.
I got it from the Amazon app store and it works perfectly fine on my Rezound. It was the free app for the day a while back. I don't know why your having an issue...
I also downloaded Monopoly when it was Amazon's free app of the day. I've only played it a few times, it has worked fine for me.
Thanks guys. When I saw it on amazon I grabbed it and it worked. For some reason its the Market that says they won't let it download on the rezound and customer service for EA games was saying the same thing. Not sure what their malfunctions are but it does work. Thanks!
For the last couple of years I've held in my hand an HTC device. I became very familiar with their S-OFF procedures and I am just curious what things are like for Motorola users. I know I should probably search, but I'd like some opinions rather than guides. How is Moto's bootloader unlocking different than HTC? Does Moto have an unlock tool like HTC's halfa** tool? Anyone else here move from HTC, is it worth it?
I'm picking one up later today on craigslist so I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into. Currently, I've got an EVO 3D.
I moved to the photon from an EVO 3D as well. I always used HTC phones going as far back as the HTC Mogul. I actually prefer Blur over Sense. There is a ton of little things about this phone that make it better, in my eyes mind you, than the 3D.
I've honestly never even thought about going back to an HTC. That is until now. With the evo lte coming out its provoking the need for a new toy.
I got this phone in October and I still don't wanna run it over with a tank.
Anything specific you wanna know?
No root tool, however, the root method is simple and pain free if you are capable and can follow directions.

Thanks for the info! I've wanted the Photon 4G since I renewed last fall but I chose the EVO 3D (coming from the EVO 4G). I was pretty disappointed with the 3D in general and I've regret the decision of getting it in the first place. But from your personal use, how's battery life? Is the Tegra 2 better than the S3/Adreno 220 in the 3D? I enjoy playing games and so far (Modern Combat 3, BackStabHD) have performed pretty well on the 3D. Any experience with these on the P4G?
Go back to the HTC family.
Sent from my ICS Shooter 3D
Battery life on the P4G is a lot better for me at least than the 3D ever was. Another note, reception. Leaps and bounds over Sammy and just a hair better than HTC. Wifi, data, calls and texts. To me 3g is unless on this phone. I sit on a super fast Wifi connection at home and 4g blankets the places I go.
As far as games go, my gaming extent is angry birds and techno kitten adventure.

Thanks for the info. You say 3G is useless because of the WiFi/4G or because there is a problem with 3G?

Lol from experience with the P4G or because you have a 3VO?
3g is fine. I personally can't tolerate how slow it is.
You've got a point. I just assumed it was my area. Everything shows as 3G on my EVO but I swear it's 1x/EvDO. I think it's just to make people happy
Yeah. I work from home so unless I leave the house I'm on a 100meg connection. If my phone ever says 3g, I don't even bother with using data.
Any other specific stuff?
Thats about it. Thanks very much! Once I get the phone I'll post any questions if I have any but it sounds like I'll enjoy it!
Ok I picked up the Photon... so far so good (overall). I have two issues though that maybe you can help me with.
1) Headset might be busted. Plugin in headset the phone goes nuts making calls, bringing up voice commands - tried with two known working headsets. Audio sounds like hissy/tinny. If I push the plug to the side it sounds ok so I'm think it's loose? I'll get a Torx set from RadioShack tomorrow and check more.
2) The phone is slow. On the home screen, swiping between each screen has such a tremendous lag. The music player takes almost a minute to load the songs from my SD card (roughly 3000 songs). I just did another factory reset so we'll see how it goes.
Yeah. That sounds like it's broken.
Hard reset should fix the slow problem. I use ADW EX to replace the shock ui but that's just cause I like it better and I got the circle folders.
Anything else?

I tried a gameloft game tonight, Modern Combat 3 and I get to the 3rd splash screen and it reloads the app. I'm downloading the data files for BackStab HD now to see if that one will work.
HDMI out is pretty unimpressive. When you move from one app to another you can see a transparent image of the previous screen behind the active one. Not a big deal, HDMI out isn't a huge deal but for videos/pics I think it'd be fine.
Hopefully tomorrow with be a better day with this puppy. If I keep having problems I'll just claim it through Asurion.
EDIT: HDMI is fine. Problem was with a crappy HDTV.
Your headphone problem alone should get you a free replacement at sprint if you're under the TEP plan... Defective product.

Even though I didn't buy it from Sprint? I have the TEP plan but they direct me to Asurion regarding any type of TEP claim.
Yeah. Go into the sprint store and tell them your headphone port doesn't work. I got my photon from craigslist. Had a problem with getting texts and it got replaced.
As long as you don't have water damage you sound be fine. I wouldn't take it apart before you bring it in. Let them do it.

Unfortunately I have to depart the 3D community.
My 3D died, No signals at all, No 3G, 1X nothing at all.
So I've done everything I could to revive it, but after all and all, took it to the sprint store, asurion warranty stepped in, and their giving me a Samsung Epic 4G touch by tomorrow hopefully.
But I'll still be around, and if anybody needs help with their 3D, I'll help all I can.

screw that. I'd get another 3D phone. hehehehehehehe. now when they coming out with a Verizon Evo 3D Quad core processor with 4GB Ram, 16GB Rom, Expandable SD card slot, with a hologram projection screen? Oh and It needs to supply me with hot girls I can make lots of babies with.
It's unfortunate that your phone is dead, and imho even worse that they gave you a Crapsung product. Why the change? Are they completely done with the 3d? I thought they would have at least given you the EVO LTE.
I'm sorry, but goodbye threads generally turn into flamebait. I'll leave this open for a little while, but I will close it shortly.
I would too stick with the 3D. Just got a replacement yesterday from the Sprint store. if your warranty is out you could've have went to HTC, but that takes three weeks.
See you anyway

Yea, the samsung got delayed too, It's on backorder I guess. Thinking about either calling a manager at asurion and ask for a better replacement since I was told at the time they had it in stock.
The only thing I can say good about samsung is their source releases and Steve Kondik working for them.

I would be happy to get the Epic touch 4G. Looks like my 3D might break soon. Ill trade you?
Impatiently waiting for the Note 2.
i just got a white e4gt brand new in a box from asurion. i only had the e3d for 3 weeks. it was a replacement for an epic 4g(slider). ive really come up in the last month!! the evo3d they gave me had light spots all over the lcd. they bugged me, so i called them and said i didnt feel like this phone was even close to new feeling,(witch a refurb really should.) being out of stock, they had me an epic touch here over night.
equal but different, the epic touch was way easier to root. i had a custom rom and colonel within 30 minutes of having it.
