Hi,
been using my HTC Touch pro from verizon for a little over a week now and love it ( Excluding the lack of Battery Life, RAM and FM Tuner, I am more than satisfied) except that the dialer skin is very ugly. TO add it fits nowhere to the rest of the device.
Can anybody suggest a good dialer skin in BLACK for me to use? I used the 12amos Manila upgrade on my TouchFLO and would like a matching Dialer
P.S. Whats the name of that software that prevents the phone turning on and dialing while in your pocket? This happened to me on three separate occasions

You might want to check out Jugallo's S2A which will force you to slide an icon left or right to accept a call or reject it. As far as your device problems go, you weren't the smartest person around when you bought the Verizon Pro as you could have bought the Sprint version and put it on Verizon's network with more RAM, better keyboard layout, and better look. That's what I did and everything works twice as well as a Verizon Pro. You can also improve battery life by using nueClockControl

I am satisfied with the verizon. It fully supports verizon without any possibility of issues, I LIKE the look compared to springs more iphoneish curve, and I get their accidental breakage warranty.
Also, you didnt mention about a dialer skin which is my priority
why don't you flash a custom rom with the dialer you want. I thought dialer's have to be installed with the rom. Oh and Sprint phone's wont work with verizon as of right now so I'd keep yours plus verizons warranty rocks!!!!

I know it does, but it only will work out if the rom doesnt screw me up
All I've seen were ROMS that are GSM. If I can see a base ROM to start with, I can bake my own customization.
P.S. Will a custom rom give me the GPS VZ Navigator blocks?
Jugallo's has a black skin just like you asked .
Also, how's that up arrow smashed between the M and N keys on your Pro?
I found a balck carbon fiber dialer that looked pretty nice. I don't have my phone with me so I can't get the exact name of the .cab. I also think it replaced the manilla files to a carbon fiber theme as well.
Try searching for HTC Dialer skins and maybe something will pop up.

Actually it does...
I'm not sure if you can warranty your phone if you do (you won't be able to get much verizon tech help), but as of now it works 99.99% on the network
edit: the touch pro does and probably the diamond as well

wow, your kind of a **** aren't you? you do realise that about a month ago Verizon realized what was happening and closed the backdoor so you cant activate the Sprint ones on Verizon service right? Oh thats right, you arent the smartest person either....
Personally I agree with the OP, I don't really care for the looks of the sprint curvy chrome and gray phone. No issues with the keyboard here, (the arrow key and the m key cause me no issues) and I like the black squared look.

I'll one up you on that. And the less memory is not proving to be such a big issue if you know what you are doing. I know that I saved about $200 by getting the verizon touch pro. Sprint wanted to charge me $579 plus $100 MIR, whereas I paid $339 at verizon and got the $100 MIR.
Oh, and the you can active the Sprint Touch Pro on Verizon, just when they ask you where you got the phone, say it was a gift from a friend, and don't tell them it is the sprint version.

Actually yes you can activate. You put their PRI and PRL on the Sprint version, add a few settings in with QPST, call *228, press 1 and you can activate just fine. BTW: I got mine on eBay new for $300 (less than the Verizon one ) and did this. Verizon physically can't close this backdoor as it's a key function of CDMA networks and this is what they use to activate phones bought online (though I do believe that's wrong but whatever). I saved $50 more than you and got a more capable phone. Yes I do despise the look of it and want that Verizon logo but don't call me a **** because I point out facts . Another plus of the Sprint version (not true anymore however) was there was HardSPL. Not true anymore though I will say this: it is your opinion whether or not you like a phone. And I don't know about you, but I know one too many people who buy a crappy phone just because they know it has the Verizon logo on it or aren't knowledgeable that you can just put a better Sprint phone on the Verizon network and use it that way. But that aside: you like the VZW Pro and I like the Sprint one. End of story.
if you're gonna get a sprint touch pro, why not just get sprint service??
And you made a comment about "hows the arrow key jammed between the m and n" it actually works great right there
OP: I installed Carbon Theme with Custom Skin Dialer Cab from here: http://www.thetouchblog.com/TF3D/main.html and now I have a carbon fiber looking dialing pad. When you install that theme, it automatically changes your TF3D look to a carbon fiber one, but you can go back in and change it with the Diamond TF3D Config
I am fed up with the Nexus One and this chronic power button problem I've sent it in for four times, and no GPS. No more HTC for me.
Looking for a newer phone for T-Mobile that gets 3G or 4G. No hardware keypad, and working GPS. That's all I ask.
I thought the Moto Atrix might be it, but it can't do better than EDGE. The Photon (Sprint) seems to be only WiMAX.
It seems that T-Mo has only LG and Samsung phones, and I am not enamored with either brand.
Recommendations?

I swore to myself I would never buy another samsung phone, but I ended up with a white galaxy s2 since it was the best phone at the time and it has been great so far (if you don't mind not having ICS). Perfect actually.
I have turned the Motorola site upside-down looking for a fairly current phone that would work 3G or better in T-Mo, but no luck.
Don't trust Samsung or LG, although I'm sure they make fine products. I've been very happy with Motorola phones since cellular services started. Wish for the Droid Razr, but Hate Verizon and ATT for cooperating with warrantless wiretapping.
Wow, nothing else?
Trying to determine if the Droid 4, Droid Razr, or Defy would work.
The Defy is a decent phone and really the only Moto on T-Mobile I could recommend, assuming you can find one. They are outdated as far as stock, but the Devs have kept the software up to date and are even working on ICS/CM9. I don't think the Droid models would work on a T-Mo network at all.
Get a HTC amaze and use the screen off and lock app.. then use go locker or something that allows using power AND volume buttons etc for waking.. thanks to the separate video and camera buttons you'll be up to 5 buttons configurable as power.. besides I think they (htc) are the best made phones

I have an HTC sensation, which HTC has made 2 updated versions, the XL and something else but i have the standard one, but its 4g, 4.3" screen, hd 1080p video recording, 8mp camera, and when running the elegancia Rom which is great quality you get ics plus lots of features, call recording, WiFi calling, volume button awake. It's really a great phone, id get the newer version XL, its got a 1.5ghz processor plus more ram, I think a gig over my standard sensation with a 1.2ghz and 756mb ram. Both are great, I'm sure you can get a regular sensation for 300 bucks somewhere on the web.
Also HTC released the HTC One, don't know if they are for t-mobile, but they are the cream of the crop for the HTC line. Gonna be pricey but well worth it.

If you really want to look for some more selection, try researching phones made for the Japanese market.
Many NTT Docomo phones have the needed 1700/2100 frequencies needed for T-Mobile 3G in the United States. I have heard of people running some of their Sharp and Toshiba phones here without issue.
Thanks all.
I have lost all confidence in HTC. GPS has never worked, mic quality is not good, and this chronic power button problem that I have sent it in four times for. Now they charge me. No more. They ditch me -- I ditch them.
I like the MIUI.us rom best, and have the vol keys set to wake. (built-in to the rom) Use Toggles to lock it. This is tolerable for now. Has recording and all the other niceties. I think it's the most advanced rom out there.
I've used Motorola phones since cellular service began, and they only ever failed if I broke them. I trust the Motorola phones and wish they worked with T-Mobile more. I will stay with T-Mobile as they did not cooperate with the government's unConstitutional warrantless wiretapping.
I'll check out the Defy. Maybe I can wait a while to see whether Moto comes out with something better. I wonder whether the Photon would work on T-Mo?
You are judging HTC off of a phone that is years old. There are many options for good phones on T-mobile. The Galaxy S2, the Galaxy Nexus if you want to pay for that, the Nexus S. I just came from the HTC Glacier which was amazing all the way around. Great GPS, no hardware issues whatsoever and a huge dev community. The Sensation is a great phone, better than the amaze from the research I have done. Almost all newer phones available aren't going to have GPS issues, so go to a store and pick which one feels better in your hands.
I am judging HTC for a phone that I paid $550 for which never could do GPS or compass, and which has a chronic and recurring power button failure that is a known design problem which HTC refuses to repair without ransom.
If a company intentionally refuses to correct their own glaring mistakes, it is dishonorable and they are no longer worthy of trust. Maybe I am just old-fashioned, and you youngsters see GETTING SCREWED BY CORPORATIONS as a natural state of life...
I do not. HTC ditches me, so I ditch HTC, and tell my friends.
A couple years ago I bought a Jaguar XK-8, a $76,000 car. Two years later it turned out that the timing chain tensioners (made of plastic) were failing on all those engines. Well that is a $15,000 repair. Jag refused to stand behind their car, and so many of us who can afford their cars, have turned our backs on them. As Dubya says, Fool Me Once... {splutter, gork} ... eh Ya Can't Fool Me Again.
I'm on T-Mobile USA. Pretty soon I want to get a new phone. Currently, I have the MyTouch4G which will go to either my mother or my girlfriend.
Now, I know of the One S coming, but in all honesty, I'm let down by it - no expandable memory, battery, and no NFC chip. I can live with the battery, but the memory and the chip break the deal. Now, I know you guys will argue the memory. Fact is, 16GB is not enough for me. I know about drop box, too. That's fine when I'm in the US and have unlimited data. It's not fine, however, when I travel to say... Nigeria and only 1GB of data costs $17. DropBox and Google Music isn't so appealing when you consider that. So, memory argument shut down.
So, that leaves me to believe that currently with T-Mobile, the total package phone is the Amaze. I root my phones, ICS and Sense 4.0 will be there either way. I have the two now on the MyTouch4G.
Now, since the One S isn't a flagship phone, do we have any speculation on what's coming after the One S? Please tell me we do...
Can the international One X work on T-Mobile USA's 4G network? I can live with the One X, but from what I understand, AT&T's One X won't work on T-Mo's 4G.
So, hit me with advice!

People don't seem to like the Amaze for whatever reason. I would wait for the samsung sg3, unless, as you seem to imply, you're htc only.
an unlocked gsm one x should work on t-mobile; double check the frequencies just to be sure.
Anyone know a way to "erase" the At&t logo from the back of the phone without damage. I hate advertising for companies without compesation.
Guess not. Oh well, I'll have to find a way myself.

AT&T HTC ONE M8
Hey guys,
So I am posting on behalf of my dad. He recently dropped his phone and broke the screen. And while he tried to use his one UH OH that he had...apparently service to him was significantly less then stellar, and after a week of 2 hours holds on the phone, credit card holds, and being transferred to god knows where, he finally gave up and is resorting to trying to get the screen replaced himself. His one question is, he was told by a screen repair company that his particular model (OP6B12O) is not a true AT&T version, and was some weird "International" AT&T M8. What I would like to know is...is this true? And does it really matter? I don't imagine the display assembly is any different between models, and if so...wut. Any advice?
