Hi all,
I am really disappointed with the performance of my Orbit 2. At least once a day, it slows down and eventually grinds to a halt - a problem I never had with the Artemis.
In particular he seems to hang when using the RSS Hub program (although I have tried numerous alternatives including News Gator and the SPB Insight). Sometimes accessing the Internet, or even creating an SMS causes the hang.
I have read through the tips in the forums here and recently upgraded the ROM to Bepe's 0.66, but still have the issues.
Is anyone else suffering from these problems? Any ideas for possible fixes?
Tim
Nope. I have over 30 apps installed a couple of today screen plug-ins and the TC runs just fine. Perhaps you were not closing your applications (just minimizing)? Or maybe you needed to use a tool like MemMaid to clean your device?
I am using the stock rom.
On the stock ROM and use RSS Hub a lot. Can't say I ever had those problems either.
cant say i have a problem either
use quite a bit of software on a regular basis and i dont ever shut mine off or restart unless i want to escape my wife.....
NetFront is the culprit
OK following some further research (read "tearing hair out"), I believe I have found the culprit to be NetFront. This otherwise fantastic browser appears to hog CPU at around 99%.
Has anyone else noticed this behaviour with NetFront? Its a real shame as its by far the best browser I have found. Opera would be great but doesn't work with the HTC keypad. So next task is to find a decent browser!!

Yep....it's a known issue. The problem is when Netfront is put into the background. If you continue to use it, just make sure you close (not minimize) it before leaving to go to another app or even your today screen.
When I open contacts and chose a contact to make a call, after finishing a call phone application closes but contacts remains open.
Is there a way for contacts to close automatically after making a call?
thank you for answer in advance.
I have HTC touch cruise wih original WWE WM6.1 ROM.
Don't know about the default contacts app but i use iContact and it is set to close on use - problem solved.
thank you for answer. This iContact application looks good.
But problem is, since I use original ROM I can't remove original applications, and I
don't want to install any unnecessary application, especially if it is double.
I do that only if it's really neccessary (like Skyfire because of flash).
The installation of iContact will remap the "Contacts" soft key to itself so in all honesty you wont see the built in app unless you actively seek out th eshortcut created fo rit. The one on your Start menu will also be remapped.
For me its one of the must have apps to get a finger friendly PPC.
I understand I won't see original application. But it will be there. And that is what I don't like. I don't like hidden unneccessery things in windows on my PC or PPC. So I would like to find a solution with original application (which is finger frendly BTW). This is it's only lack. And inability to hide SIM contacts which doesn't bug me that much.
But if I don't find solution I will definitely try this application. And maybe you can suggest me best version since I found more of them here on xda-developers.
Thank you
You can't remove the original version as it's provided in the ROM and so without cooking your own ROM it can't be removed. The original is not overly finger friendly unless you have wee fingers.
Given your dislike of duplication of software does this mean you surf using IE.
Personally i am using the Burt Edition v6.4.5 of iContact.
unfortunately if you'd like to change preferences on your device... and enhance it, you will also have to install new applications as not all default apps can be changed the way we want.
you have a touch cruise. it's a strong device, with enough memory to hold lots of applications. don't worry about it.
Ok. I know I have to install new apps and to try things if I want to enhance performance of my mobile. And I do that. I try things and I have to hard reset sometimes because of it. And I know my phone is capable of having a lot applications installed. That's why I bought it.
I just want to find the solution that pleases me the best.
And because original application is good enough to me, except this exit problem, I think best solution would be to have original application and make it close after use.
I don't like having double applications because of my experience with windows. Everything in registry decreases performance and if I have a few applications for same thing there's usually some kind of conflict.
But as I said I do try things in search of best solution, so I tried iContact.
It really is great application, much much better than original. and much more finger friendliy.
I decided to keep it.
And then I noticed that my cube freezes after using iContact. It seems to be a common problem and I found no solution for it.
So I'm back on the beginning.
Anyway, thank you for your help, ideas and suggestions.
Hi. I should be getting a new verizon touch pro 2 and was wondering what I might be able to expect from it and if you guys could give me some new owner suggestions tips etc.
Thanks alot.
Joe
Be prepared to do a lot of reading if you really want to change things.
I have hosed up the phone several times and had to do hard resets because I installed so much crap that did not work.
Just make sure you search PPC forums and here and makes sure if you try something read up on it first.
What do you mean change things? I don't think I will change anything. At least not right away. Not sure if I'll even like the htc touch pro 2.

What he means is that if you want to reg hack or add any .cab files found here or on ppc geeks do your research first. Even though there are tp2s out there they all differ between cdma and gsm as well as carrier customizations. These differences can screw up your device causing u to loose original functionality or possible bricking your device.
A couple of things to do when you first get your phone:
Do a hard reset when you first turn it on. It will get rid of any errors or bugs you might or might not have. It will not hurt to do it regardless.
Next go to main page of XDA developers website and read the article about disabling push internet. It will free up some memory for you. It works great.
Also, search the XDA forum for the resproxy registry hack or edit or what ever you want to call it. It will also free up and stalblize your memory. you will need total commander to do it, so you will want to search and download then install the program before hand.
Those are the first three things that I would recommend as it made a big difference for me as far as performance is concerned
Thanks alot guys.
I should get it tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it. I don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight.
How would I do a hard reset and what is that? Would I do that right after I open it and before doing anything else or right after I activate it?
Yeah. I read something that mentioned push Internet. Kinda sounded like rss. I don't think I would use push Internet.
Will it be possibleto landscape without sliding out the keyboard? Or could someone add this or is it something htc has to do?
How will I upgrade to winmo 6.5 when it's released?
I know I need to learn and read but not sure what and where. I do have the xda wiki bookmarked but couldn't tell what I should look at first.
I don't care about fm radio but will it be possible to have am radio? I would listen to my local baseball team games. I don't listen to the radio now as there's no music I like. So that's why I'm curious about am. Internet radio streaming is of course different story. Is shoutcast available?
I've seen here people talk about gps. What is possible to use that's free? I can't afford vz navigator per month.
I wonder if there are any phone body protectors and screen protectors available at the local verizon store.
If I did change anything will it void my warranty? How does that work? I did add the extended warranty insurance.
Thanks alot.
If you are starting fresh you may want to consider doing this right after you get the phone before doing anything.
This should cover most anything you would need to do including the resproxy and other tweaks.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=84404
Download the Verizon CAB and install it and it takes care of most everything you need done.
To hard reset you just go to SETTINGS>MEMORY TAB> and choose Factory Default. It basically resets the phone to settings of when you first got it.
The Radio as of right now either does not exist on the Verizon phone or is locked out.
The only way to void your warranty is to flash a new ROM, which you can't do yet anyway. But any tweaks you make wont effect warranty.
Streaming internet radio is available and included with the phone, you just need the web address.
Other services like orb from winamp is also handy where you can stream your music collection from home if your PC is on to your phone.
Most anything you can think of you should be able to find, with some searching.
And yes when WM6.5 is released you will have to wait for Verizon to officially release the update.
So even though you will see WM6.5 released next month don't expect Verizon to have the update ready right away it maybe a while.
Well I got my verizon touch pro 2. It's not bad. I hate the browser though. Scrolling sucks and moving around on a zoomed page is terrible when you swipe your finger to go up down etc. The page just keeps going. It's near impossible to touch links to go there. I have to many times just for it to register that I touched a link. Or I have to use the keyboard arrows. It really sucks. You can download files though and this rocks!! I didn't know you could. I got an mp4 and couple other files. Pretty cool.
The ui is ok. I'm surprised how smooth the ui is compared to iPod touch I have which is exactly the same as iPhone minus the phone. So htc did ok here.
I ran the cab installer for disabling push Internet but can't tell anything is different.
So my question now is this.
When winmo 6.5 is released how long might it take verizon to offically release it? Can't I just do the update from Microsoft? I want it as it's supposed to be way more touch friendly.
Why does it violate the warranty if you install a rom? Do any of the toc etc mention this?
Is there a way to do a backup of the phone incase anything goes wrong with a rom or something?
There's a couple things I don't like about that thing you mentioned that would take care of a lot of stuff. The guy disables something I don't want disabled. I forget what it is right now.
Is shoutcast available?
How does the sbp shell thingy work? Like is it just a file you install to change the theme or something? Can you easily install and uninstall without any issues? Same question for the iPhone look GUI.
Will marketplace be available as a widget type of thing or do we know how you go about using it when it's available?
I'm curious also where a good place is to download free themes and apps for the phone?
Is it possible to have free voice gps somehow? There's google maps of course but don't know it. Never used it more then looking at it on my Storm.
This touch pro 2 is supposed to be 3.6" screen but it's not as wide as my storm or iPod touch. How is that possible? I don't understand if it's supposed to be bigger why is it smaller? There should be only 1 way to measure size. This sucks.
how do I make the screen brighter? It doesn't seem as bright as other devices like my iPod touch.
Can I file share with my LAN?
What is remote desktop like? How does the built in one work? Is there something better?
Sorry for bombarding you all with so many questions.
Answers that I have are in BOLD within your quote...

Opera browser takes a little getting used to. Double tap to zoom in, and then you can click links pretty easy. I've been using WinMo phones now since the ATT 8525 (Hermes) and HATED the Opera browser the first time I tried it in a custom ROM. Since then, I've come to prefer it over PIE...just seems more user friendly once you do get used to how it operates - plus, it actually shows websites as desktop sites instead of as mobile sites.
The ui is ok. I'm surprised how smooth the ui is compared to iPod touch I have which is exactly the same as iPhone minus the phone. So htc did ok here.
I ran the cab installer for disabling push Internet but can't tell anything is different. If you don't have any pages set up to push on the web tab, I don't think you'll notice a difference. I could be wrong though.
So my question now is this.
When winmo 6.5 is released how long might it take verizon to offically release it? Can't I just do the update from Microsoft? I want it as it's supposed to be way more touch friendly. The phone is locked through what is called HardSPL to only accept "official" ROMs that are are correctly signed or whatever. MS won't actually issue a ROM for WinMo 6.5 - they'll issue the software to the individual manufacturers like HTC, Samsung, etc. At that time, the manufacturers then have to customize that OS into a ROM that works for the specific device (each device hardware requires specific stuff to function - which is why you can't put a FUZE ROM on a TP2, or a GSM rom on a CDMA phone, etc). Then, the manufacturer has to work with each phone carrier to put in the specific items the carrier wants included or excluded. So you won't ever see an "update" from MS, but only one issued by HTC possibly that won't be compatable with your specific phone until they release one that is authorized by Verizon.
Why does it violate the warranty if you install a rom? Do any of the toc etc mention this? The custom ROM is not officially authorized by your carrier, and requires you to modify the phone software and bootloader to install it. It also may or may not enable components of the phone that are not officially supported by the manufacturer or carrier. Will simply installing the ROM void your warranty - not necessarily. There are ways flash back to the original ROM before sending in for a warranty claim (assuming the phone is not 100% dead/destroyed), but if you make a warranty claim and it is determined that you had a custom ROM installed, they won't stand behind it because you modified the phone from the way they sent it to you.
Is there a way to do a backup of the phone incase anything goes wrong with a rom or something? There are backup programs out there - but you cannot do a "full restore" after changing ROMS because it may overwrite files that are newer or different and mess things up. I personally don't use any backup programs specificially. I keep all my media files on the MicroSD card, keep my emails synced through IMAP (personal account) and Exchange (work account) as well as all my tasks/calendar/contacts in Exchange. I don't have many SMS/MMS messages, so losing them when I reflash is not an issue for me. And I've gotten really good at restoring my settings and programs (which I keep saved on the SD card as well).
There's a couple things I don't like about that thing you mentioned that would take care of a lot of stuff. The guy disables something I don't want disabled. I forget what it is right now.
Is shoutcast available?
How does the sbp shell thingy work? Like is it just a file you install to change the theme or something? Can you easily install and uninstall without any issues? Same question for the iPhone look GUI. AFAIK, the different GUI overlays are simply a matter of "install and reset". I used to use SPB shell on my 8525 and Tilt, but it seemed to be a resource hog (version 2). Since the TF3D GUI on my Fuze and now TP2, I've been happy to simply use it.
Will marketplace be available as a widget type of thing or do we know how you go about using it when it's available?
I'm curious also where a good place is to download free themes and apps for the phone? You've already joined...search here and you'll find links to more places to find goodies for your phone than you'll ever be able to stay on top of.
Is it possible to have free voice gps somehow? There's google maps of course but don't know it. Never used it more then looking at it on my Storm. Don't know about free ones out there. I use Garmin Mobile XT myself - it's not voice command enabled (unfortunately) but does to audible directions and works pretty well. There are others out there too - TomTom, iGo, etc.
This touch pro 2 is supposed to be 3.6" screen but it's not as wide as my storm or iPod touch. How is that possible? I don't understand if it's supposed to be bigger why is it smaller? There should be only 1 way to measure size. This sucks. There is only one way to measure screen size - diagonal from corner to corner. That said, the TP2 is setup in a more HD style wide-screen format than many other devices. So the measured dimension may be bigger than other phones/devices, but the width may be narrower (when looking in Portrait view) because the screen is taller the other way.
how do I make the screen brighter? It doesn't seem as bright as other devices like my iPod touch. Start/Settings/All Settings --> System tab --> Power --> Backlight tab --> uncheck "Auto Adjust" and then you can manually play with the brightness
Can I file share with my LAN? Yes, but not with the stock file explorer I think. I personally use Resco Explorer, but have had a few issues with the network drive mapping locking up this device. Total Commander (free) has the functionality in it as well.
What is remote desktop like? How does the built in one work? Is there something better? I use the built-in RDC just fine. It actually shows a useable desktop image (albeit very tiny). No idea if there are other clients out there...the built-in one has always worked for me.
Sorry for bombarding you all with so many questions. No problem - hopefully I was able to answer a few questions.

Well thanks so so much. Truly! I dunno what to say except thanks sooooooo much! I'm kinda speechless.
I have to save those responses locally to turn to incase I need to.
I do like the phone. That's for sure.
In Opera I did zoom right on top of links and tapped the links and it took multiple tries to get it to work I'd say if I had to guess and I am, 7-9 times out of 10. That's terrible. Could it be opera, the screen itself or winmo 6.1 or that I have not run the screen calibration thing? I hope the next browser version works way better and more touch friendly the I am experiencing so far. Oh yeah. It's currently like dial up speed compared to my iPod touch and I'm even using wifi on the phone. But yes, I have read that Opera is very slow. It works at least . Hopefully things will improove in this area in maybe the next version or another browser.
What is it like to install another theme or whatever it is called? The iPhone GUI one and that SPB thing? Are they easy to get rid of? I think I'd like to try them, but am wondering the what if something goes wrong question.
Hmm. I'm not sure where to start now. I should look through this sites wiki, but don't know what parts or where to start. Also I'd like to install some neat apps to see what this phone could do, but not sure where to start.
Thank you so very much! thank you for being patient in answering my questions.
Update. Remote deskto doesn't work. I try to connect via wifi to my vista and remote desktop on the phone imediatly after clicking connect says , the connection was ended because of a network error. Please try connecting to the remote computer again.
Also windows update won't connect either. Same type of message.
Remote desktop works from my other pc and laptop too.
Any ideas?
Ok. Now my phone won't get a connection to the net via wifi and I changed nothing on phone or router. Reboot router and shut off phone doesn't help. I'm on my iPod touch right now just fine. I don't get it.
Thanks a lot guys.
A few small things.
#1 Don't install a bunch of garbage.
#2 The version of Opera on it sucks. The Beta on their site kicks the crap out of it.
#3 Try Skyfire. I don't like the idea of using a proxy browser, but lordy if it isn't useful.
#4 Be patient. I hated both of my previous HTCs until they started releasing ROMs for it.
#5 If you are having troubles with remote desktop, then get VLC. I hate remote desktop because it locks the display and inputs of the host. I use my TP2 as a remote control for my media center. I'd like to find a smarter VLC client though. =(
Enjoy the phone. The WorldCard app is cool as hell.

I was using it on my Storm and they allowed me to change to the Windows Mobile version when I finally unloaded that POS. Its a bit pricey but it works well even on a EVDO connection. Works great over wifi. One of the few bright spots in my Blackberry endeavor.

Opera is as slower browser no matter how you shake it. You could try the 9.7.1b version and see if it is any better for you.
I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen and was playing around last night with the TP2 and the iPod. I found that the TP2 was just as responsive as the iPod in almost every task aside from web browsing.
The link clicking in Opera bothers me too. The zoom slider has delay.
I just think it is the application. Good thing is newer versions are coming, and Firefox and IE mobile will have newer versions soon.
You could try Skyfire browser as well. In the end you have options.
A few things:
* Make sure you have a memory card
* Install all your apps to it
* Install the Stop Push Internet.cab
* Install the disable resource proxy .cab
Opera is built into the ROM. So basically it is always running, the stop push internet just stops it from running until you launch it among other things.
Resource proxy is something HTC uses to quick cache things into memory so its always ready to open. Its supposed to make launching last used apps quicker. Everyone finds it not to speed up anything and it just eats up RAM.
After you do those both restart the phone.
As far as your RDP issue with Vista and Win7 you have to make sure you allow connections from all clients and make sure the you add the user account you want to connect with to the remote users under the same tab.
Check your firewall settings in vista and make sure RDP is allowed.
Also try connecting by IP instead of PC name, often more reliable, bypasses the router for name resolution.
Skins and Themes, I make my own wallpapers.
I also don't install anything theme related until I see a thread or a bunch of people with the same phone doing something.
I did the HTC Black upper banner, one file and selectable in the home menu.
I did the standard HTC flip clock because it was verizon tested and made my own wallpaper based on something someone else did. I think mine is better.

As far as apps you have to decide what you want to do on your phone.
If you dont know and just want to start installing things just be prepared to hard reset it if you hose it up with some app that does not play nice.
These are the apps I run. (Everyone has different needs)
S2US Slide to unlock - I turn off every feature of it expect the one to lock when screen goes black. I found the phone was constantly dialing out in my pocket so I had to do it.
Smart Gear Emulator - To play old Nintendo and Genesis games. I tried the demo and at least for Genesis games it sucks. I will probably uninstall.
WVGA Fix - Allows you to change the screen resolution down to 480x480 or 640x480. My old Genesis emulator wont work at 800x480 so I have to switch it to 640x480 before I launch it.
Pico Drive - Genesis Emulator plays most genesis games perfect
XDAShutdown - Just an app that you launch that allows you multiple options, to shutdown or restart. It also has skins to make it look how you want.
GarminXT - I bought it as a NAV application. Works really well on Verizon. And you can copy it to other cards. Maybe be legal but works.
Advanced Config 3.3 - I dont trust it have no need for most of the options in it.
Weather City Editor 2.1 - Did not work, tried it 20 different ways adds more accuweather cities to your weather tab.
Nitrogen - Audio player does not work very well for me, but is good for directly opening audio files from opera
Bing - Live Search
.Net Framework 3.5 - Required for many app installs
Facebook App
Netflix App
MS Font Pack
Microsoft MyPhone - Handy for backing up all your files, SMS and more.
Palringo - Chat client does everything, pretty resource intensive
Midomi Audio Identifier - Play a song or hum a song into the micand it finds the name of the artist and song.
Skype
Flash Hack for Opera - Sucks don't bother, any webpage with flash usually freezes the browser.
Remote Desktop w Vista/7
If you have problems connecting to your vista or 7 machine using the built in RDC program on the phone, you need to change the security level on your computer to:
"Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure)"
WinMo 6 doesn't have the new network level authentication bits. Maybe it'll appear in 6.5.....
Hi. I'm sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I been kinda lazy about posting a foow up. Plus 2 days ago Wednesday I had a tooth extracted on lower left side. So I haven't done much except try to rest, take my tylonol #3 codene and Pennicillan I been taking for a week to fight the infection from my tooth. Not a brushing issue but the tooth first was like cracked on the bottom around the root and then I was eating pizze a few weeks ago a d heard a high pitched pop/crack sound when I took a bite. That hurt like heck. I could not eat or touch it anymore. Went to my dentist and he saw immediatly the top of the tooth had cracked right down the middle. So it looked like a + kinda how it was cracked. So they took it out 2 days ago. I have to ice my left cheek for 30 minutes on, off then on again after every meal and I have to eat soft room temp foods. Plus take my meds. I also try not to talk much and when I move, specially up and down I go slow. My dentist said the healing now will take at least 6 weeks. He will take out the stitches next tuesday or Wednesday. Well that's what's going on with me now.
I have played with the phone a little each day. I have not made a phone call yet. I installed the no push Internet thing and don't notice any difference. Maybe a tiny bit less ram is used now. But I never used much anyway. I installed a few days ago the trial for the SPB 3 shell. It's not bad but I wish every button and window was uniform. Because with touchflo and the spb shell when you file browse or do messaging or certain settings screens you get tiny buttons that are like black and white. Like looking at the memory screen. It's nothing like spb and touch flo. This is annoying that the ui is not uniform the same all over. The spb shell and touchflo are responsive. Yes it does seem with only the web browser is it crummy. I did install yesterday opera 9.7 beta and looked at the local help docs. It was ok but scrolling still sucks major.
If you read what I posted you'll see my remote desktop works on computers just not the phone and that means it's set up already. I think I also already said I typed in the ip of the pc. I did everything right but no matter what remote desktop gives that error immediatly after clicking to connect. So I have no clue. I need to get it working though. Pay remote desktop apps I can't afford.
Why would you install apps only to the sd card? I haven't even put in my unopened 8gb card yet but I will.
The local verizon store said that verizon won't get the htc touch pro 2 in store for a long time. He said that's how htc is. Huh?
How can you make onscreen keyboard same as apples in safari on iPhone/iPod touch? It really sucks. No auto correct and the stupid keys aren't spread enough. Plus the stupid black and white text selection thing that pops up. Landscape really sucks for the keyboard since the keys are way too small a d way to close together. Portrait is much better and easier. The hardware keyboard I thought I liked. That is till I actually tried it. The keys are not spread enough. Way to close and I always have typos and there's no auto correct or auto punctuation or anything even remotely close to the iPod touch. Also there's a delay when typing and the sound sometimes. I like the sound and the vibration feedback when typing.
I wish messaging had add to contact in each message you read. And when you do try to add to contact it doesn't put in any info for you which is really stupid. You have to type in everything. It should auto the name and email address.
while XDA has huge amounts of programs on it, you may end up searching forever. A decent website for programs, themes etc. is http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ just make sure they are capable with the screen resolution (wvga) and some things may not work on the TP2. Also most of the phone forums on xda have some sort of thread that says must have programs or something along those lines. Read a few of those.
btw, WAZE is a community based gps program that has voice directions and is free. its kinda neat, you should give it a look.
Good stuff up there, gang. Some even was helpful to me, after a year with a Crapberry.
I think I am going to like it here.

Thanks guys.
Should it take over 9 hrs for a full charge from 0 to 100% battery charge?
For almost 2 years I used a Touch Diamond. While WiMo is far from perfect in todays world with a bit of tweaking and some extra software I had a device that did what I wanted it to do. Sure, WiMo isnt what you´d call fast but as said, it did what it had to do.
For the past few days I´ve been using android with my new htc legend. I heard a lot of good things about android and that is why I decided to switch. But even after a few days I´m already having a feeling of regret. While android is very fast and finger friendly the OS/apps itself just don't cut it compared to WiMo. About 75% of the things I did on a daily basis with my phone just don't work (properly) on android.
Syncing mail with hotmail is a *****. It for example does not sync read messages so everytime I login with my pc I still have to click all new messages while I already read them on my phone. This worked perfectly with WiMo.
No automatic 3g disconnect. Now this isnt default on WiMo either but there are apps that just disconnect a idle data connection. Now android has a whole bunch of apps like juicedefender but they just dont work properly and are overcomplicated. Just disconnect if I don't use it. Thats all I want. Let apps and whatever connect when they want to and kill the connection when they are done. Simple you'd think but impossible on android it seems.
Youtube is a epic fail. In the exact same place, with the exact same simcard I just can't load a movie. They all stop after 3 seconds and don't load further. Also there is no option for always having HQ. The WiMo app had this and I could always load HQ movies without trouble.
But it gets even worse when it comes to much more practical things. The browser won't save exchange webmail login info. So now I'm expected to loging like 5 times a day to my uni mail by typing my info every time? Not nice.
And what about displaying agenda items? can't do that on the lockscreen. There are apps to do this but not on the htc sense one as far as I've seen. So I have to manually check my agenda which is just a ***** because I'm just to seeing things come up on the homescreen.
Also I can't login to the uni website. You should get a login popup but the android browser doesnt seem to be capable of this. Ofcourse this was no problem at all with a 2 year old browser... So now I can't check schedules and all.
Also there is no way to stream my favorite internet radio station.
Basically I pay 10 euro's a month for internet on my phone but all apps I regulairy use with internet don't work or only work a bit on android.
Don't get me wrong, I love the speed and all but what good is speed to me if I can't use most of the functions that are important to me? What is even more disturbing is that non of the things I want to do are very special. This should all just work but it seems to be far above what android is capable of.
Basically to me android is a disfunctional OS. If the above things would work, I'd love it but now all I got is speed, but no way of doing the things I want.
Nice try, but not quite it.

That's hardly Android error - it just seems to be a bug in the mail client app. Maybe yry another one?

It's not as simple as it sounds - android has to have an active data connection to enable IM messages as well as gmail imap notifications. Unlike POP3 e-mail accounts where you have to querry the server for new e-mails once in a while, gmail actually sends information to your phone when you get an email. And this wouldn't be possible if the connection was turned off.
And if you don't want to use gmail or gtalk, just disable background data in android's data sync settings and the 3g module won't eat your battery when unneeded. Don't worry, android is much smarter with power management than winMo and the fact that you didn't disable something by hand doesn't mean that it's eating your battery.
It's like GPS - even if it;s turned on in options/on power control wigdet the module isn't physically powered up until an app requests to use it. And when it's done the module powers down again. But still you see people disabling gps support in options after exiting maps believing that it will save some battery, or even requesting an app that would disable the switch on power control wigdet.
So just remember - it's a different OS, it has different rules and the fact that you did something by hand in winMo doesn't mean you have to do it here.
Youtube is a epic fail. In the exact same place, with the exact same simcard I just can't load a movie. They all stop after 3 seconds and don't load further. Also there is no option for always having HQ. The WiMo app had this and I could always load HQ movies without trouble.

Again, this seems to be a problem with your rom/app version. I (and many other people) don't have any trouble with YT on android.
As for the HQ, it's turned on automatically when you're on wifi, on a gsm connection it defaults to standard quality. Personally i like this behavior but i agree that there should be an option to change that for people with huge/unlimited data plans.
But it gets even worse when it comes to much more practical things. The browser won't save exchange webmail login info. So now I'm expected to loging like 5 times a day to my uni mail by typing my info every time? Not nice.

Weird, but also not android bug, just the browser. You might want to try some alternatives (like dolphin, skyfire, opera mini)

Okay, and since when does WinMo display the agenda without any additional software? But i agree, htc really should make some "upcomming events" widget, and default android could use one as well.

Well, seems to me that you don't really have a problem with android but you just got screwed by HTC and their customized version of android
If i were you, i'd just look for an unofficial rom. It might actually fix all your problems.
Also, part of your woes seems to be the fact that you knew winMo, knew the tweaks and apps you needed to make the device do what you want. Going over to android is a fresh start where you have to find out everything again. I know, i had similar feelings on a stock rom on my G1 after being a hardcore winMo user But after some research and grabbing a new rom and few extra apps android is way more functional than winMo for me and i don't feel like ever going back.
Just give it a chance and do some research.
Android platform has to mature a lot.
WM without xda is a hell.
You really need to find a new ROM. I've never had one single issue you're talking about.
Edit: And I'm using a myTouch running 1.6.

I know all that. But for me it does not seem to work perfectly. If I disable data connection always on (I never actually completely disable it), it still leaves it open. I checked overnight compared with just totally disabling it and it made a clear difference in the battery charge left. Its not like GPS where the icon actally dissapears when you don't use it but this doesnt happen with 3g so far as I can see it, it still uses more power than when disabling it.
I understand all the google stuff needs it, but I don't use any of it so for me its rather useless.

I reacherd a bit more and it seems to be a IIS and android problem. Wm and Iphone have the same problem but they just ignore the IIS message and continue. I tried Opera and it has the same problem. Btw, I think Opera on android is a long way off from Opera on WM. Still missing lots of functions I think.
IIS problem for the website login btw. Not sure why the exchange site doesnt save credentials but that seems to be misconfiguration. For example it wont even work on most desktop browsers either.

Maybe you are right. I know everything about WM and for me android still has a lot of things beneath its skin I don't know. If the apps I want exist I could fix some of my problems.
But some problems are just android related. The whole website thing is a combination of android and IIS configuration that don't play nice. Nothing HTC can do about this, nor can any custom rom. Its something google needs to fix. Ofcourse, if my uni would change their IIS settings it could also fix the problem but I don't think I can get them to change settings just for me.
For me that really needs to work because its a daily function for me.
Also I wonder if some things can be done. For example in WM you can just select to only use your provider. I still havn't found a way to completely disable roaming on android. Fortunatly its easy to prevent data roaming.
I am convinced that an almost working Anderoid will make me more happy than a fully functioning Windows Mobile 6.5
So I have read a lot of the forums and installed two different Anderoid ROM's successfully on my HTC Touch Pro 2 model Rhod400. One was FRXO6 Froyo and the other was GBX0A Gingerbread. The Froyo build crashed on me a lot so I tried the Gingerbread ROM, which didn't crash but I couldn't get a good strong data or phone connection.
two questions:
1) Who out there in XDA land has a good experience with the HTC Touch Pro 2 and which build did you use and do you have a link to this download? I would really love to get a good stable Anderoid build of any flavor onto my HTC TP2 if I can get some of the basics to work including bluetooth and the camera? Please share. Thanks.
2) Where is a link to where all the different Anderoid ROM builds kept for downloading and testing?
Thanks much !
Windows Mobile 6.5 is pretty good after all
Since I haven't been able to find a stable Anderoid ROM with bluetooth for my HTC TP2, I've been tweaking Windows Mobile 6.5, which is what apparently is loaded standard on the HTC Touch Pro 2, and I'm getting used to it.
I was able to get GPS locations into my photos, bluetooth works good, Wi-fi works good, I found a program called Fileaschanger that I can order my contacts by firstname lastname. I installed the latest Opera 10 mobile browser So life it getting better in my Windows Mobile 6.5 world.
2 questions:
A) Does anyone know if I can upgrade from Windows Mobile 6.5 to windows mobile 7 or do I have to buy a new phone to get the upgrade? I have Sprint.
B) I would still love to find a great Anderoid ROM for my HTC Touch Pro2 if anyone has a good experience please let me know.
Windows Mobile 6.5 frustrations
I've decided I HAVE to switch to Anderoid. Anyone that has HTC Touch Pro2 or Tilt 2 experience with Anderoid ROM's please point me in the right direction. Throw me a bone or a little foothold. Thanks!
After spending another 10 days with windows mobile 6.5, I am going slowly nuts. Most of the time I am frustrated with how long it takes me to find the right contact, and then press the right button. It is so touchy, it often clicks into the wrong screen, then locks up and I can't get out of that until it times out.
Windows Mobile 6.5 could care less about me, it makes me do things for it, instead of the other way around. Isn't a smartphone supposed to be smart and make my life easier? I spend way too much time clicking and searching and hunting for stuff. I have heard that Windows Mobile 7 is amazing, but I don't think I can get that for my phone, so it has to be Anderoid.
Trying out FRX07 on my Rhodium
I see that FRX07 was just released, so I will try that out and let you know how it works on my HTC TP2. Blue Tooth is supposed to work in FRX07 so that would be cool.
FRX07 works very well on HTC TP2
So far, real good, I recommend FRX07 build on the HTC Touch Pro 2. I am having a ton of fun setting it up. Get the FRX07 build here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171052 I have had very few issues, and many more successes !!
1) A minor annoyance: Backlight didn't work on the keypad when I slide it out. From the Android Market (which works nice) I installed a Backlight app and that seemed to do the trick and backlight works now.
2) WiFi works fine on WPA2 and I think it worked connecting to a WEP router also
3) It is a tad bit sluggish, I'm working on an Overclocking app now.
4) I have downloaded and installed about 5 apps so far, and they all seem to work OK.
5) Bluetooth. I haven't tried it yet.
6) Voice Search works. It does do 1 annoying thing that if I use it once it won't work again, and i force it to close with an app killer and then it works.
7) I haven't pocket dialed anyone since I put in Android. That is a big plus over Windows Mobile 6.5
8) Contacts all downloaded automatically from my GMAIL account when I setup gmail. The built in contact app works very well, searching for a contact works great compared to Windows Mobile.
9) Installed a barcode reader and it works great
10) Camera works.
11) Facebook app works and after installing it I can now share and upload photos to Facebook.
After using 2.2.2 Froyo for about a week I have a few issues. The #1 issue is that it has a lag time that seems to be growing, and Android is rather sluggish now. Frustratingly so. Maybe I need to reformat my SD card and reinstall.
Also Android crashed a few times today, that is the first time it has crashed. One time it crashed while I was talking on the phone. Not sure what brought that on.
Also, lots of applications, like maybe a dozen, auto start and seem to slow down the O.S. I downloaded a task killer app, but not sure if that one is working exactly the way it should. I can't seem to find any pages that you can alter if the application starts or not on boot. I would like to have them not start.
so maybe I do need to reformat and reinstall.
FRX07 lag time issues sort of resolved on HTC TP2
Sharing more of my Android experience. Android Froyo 2.2.2 FRXO7 on an HTC TP2 off of a 2GB sandisk memory card. This Touch Pro 2 normally runs Windows 6.5 mobile. I start HARET.exe and it boots up Linux / Android FRX07.
I was going nuts on the task killer, killing my apps all the time, then even went so far as to set the task killer to auto kill. Response time was getting worse and worse. Finally, figured out the task killer was my main CPU hog problem. Instead of helping it was hurting. So I uninstalled the Task Killer and am letting Android figure out what processes it should end. That is helping, and Android is more responsive again. Of course, it can always be faster, so I will try a few more things. I do still have a task killer. I am currently using ES TASK KILLER, but I'm only using it mainly to see what processes are running and NOT setting it to automatic.
Here is an interesting page with the title:
FAQ: Why You Shouldn’t Be Using a Task Killer with Android
Explains you don't need to worry about memory usage with Android (Linux).
http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
Also, in my experience, important to not install more than one new app at a time. Otherwise you won't know which app is hurting response time. Install 1 (one) app, use it for a bit, at least maybe 30 minutes or an hour. You can tell right away if your new app is affecting your lag time or not. if so uninstall and find a new similar app and test it. For example: Opera mobile browser for Android seemed to be affecting my response time a lot (almost non usable), so I removed Opera Mobile and now I'm testing Dolphin browser and it doesn't seem to be slowing me down. I didn't test Opera Mini, I was going to but I saw Dolphin so I tried it instead, and the Dolphin browser is pretty nice so far.
just installed fxr07 yesterday... Had heck of a time getting sd card(s) to reformat to work for install.
really like it, after setup and several reboots, the Speed is very reasonable. Have had a few unplanned reboots into windows, but android loads rather fast now.
I did the install so I could use the androids tether WiFi hotspot to connect my new HP TouchPad to the internet when not at home. The winmo tether is ad-hoc so it would not work with Touch pad.
took 24 hours to get it to work (configuration difficulties with both devices), but got it to work!
if anyone needs help with this, feel free to pm.
Love the Touchpad, esp with overclock and performance tweaks and the fireside prices!
Intalled Gen.y Dualboot on HTC TP2 w detailed installation instructions
Nice!
I still feel that my android install is too slow. For instance, after I press the camera button it takes 5 seconds before the camera app pops up. Is that slow or not? Maybe my expectations are too high. 5 seconds to get into settings or contacts, but only 2 seconds to get into messages, 20 seconds to open a browser and see the google.com screen.
Also, am happy camper again, because I installed Gen.y dualboot on my HTC TP2. Since it wasn't super obvious how to install gen.y dualboot, here is how I installed gen.y on my HTC Touch Pro 2.
1) Boot into Windows Mobile on your HTC TP2
2) Open Internet Explorer in the Windows Mobile
3) Go to this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623792
4) Go down the page, find and click the link that says Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0 CABs (QVGA|WQVGA|VGA|WVGA)
5) A Megaupload web site page opens, wait 45 seconds for the timer to count down, then click Regular Download. (all this from your windows mobile HTC TP2).
6) A zip file of 4 cabs will download
7) Find the zip file you just downloaded to your Windows Mobile, and extract the cab you need. The HTC TP2 has a WVGA screen, so extract the WVGA cab. I have Total Commander on my Windows Mobile 6.5 HTC TP2, so I was able to find and extract the WVGA cab to a folder using Total Commander.
8) Find and double-click that WVGA CAB you just extracted, and it will install (again I used Total Commander) but probably any file explorer will work. I installed it to my internal memory on the HTC Touch Pro 2
9) Reboot and you will see the dual boot screen. You can customize the dual boot however you like.
10) Optionally, you can delete the zip file and cab file if you want.
Thanks to whoever created the gen.y dualboot, it is pretty awesome.

I have been reading this good how-to thread about Android Speed Improvements
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218458
Topic #4. I tried this. I can't really say if it runs any faster or not, it feels faster AFTER it wakes up from a dark screen, once it wakes up it feels more responsive. It has not frozen up on me yet.
I put the line below into my startup.txt file and rebooted and now I am running at 710.4 Mhz Max on my HTC TP2.
acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=710400
Topic #5. To be fair, I also tweaked the OS with topic #5 in addition to topic #4 (kind of dumb of me to tweak two things at once, since now I don't know which one is helping).
I changed the last 3 variables on this line. So the speed up could be from this line also. I didn't do the line below, Instead I used a file manager, found the file /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree edited this file using a text editor right from the phone, then saved it. I did use the parameters below. BTW: You will lose these settings on a reboot.
echo "1536,3072,4096,21000,23000,25000" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
After tweaking the two settings above I tried a few benchmarks with my wireless on and sync on, GPS I had off and Bluetooth off.
16 sec = Camera open
03 sec = Chomp (text messaging) open
04 sec = Contacts open all 1000+
06 sec = Messaging (android classic) open
18 sec = Market open
06 sec =Opera Mini open
08 sec = Dolphin Browser open

I am curious how this was done? I have the HTC Rhodium 400 on Sprint. I have installed FRX 7.1 and as stated works great, however when i go into mobile hot spot, i can turn on the password encrypted wifi and connect my touchpad to it however the problem begins when i try to exit the wifi hotspot. The Rhodium will not disconnect and then hangs, freezes and then i have to pull battery and start over.
any suggestions?
i finally got andriod installed on my tp2 but the touch screen isnt working any ideas?

Windows Mobile 6.5 could care less about me, it makes me do things for it, instead of the other way around. Isn't a smartphone supposed to be smart and make my life easier? I spend way too much time clicking and searching and hunting for stuff. I have heard that Windows Mobile 7 is amazing, but I don't think I can get that for my phone, so it has to be Anderoid.
