Htc pro 2 / omnia 2 ??? - General Questions and Answers

Just got my hands on the new htcp2 and it seems to me kinda slow i git the wifi sharing working awsome but the phone drags.. It has 6.1 win i was thinking of 6.5 or i think its called sps some other interface you can buy for 30 bucks to make it a little faster...not sure. But i also liked the omnia and the procesor works at a faster rate. It just seems like a faster phone for my work and being that im in the car all day and i use mostly one hand to control the phone. I want to add the wifo sharing on the omnia 2 ? will it work? dont know but i would love to get some info to make a desicion before my thirty days are up to get the omnia2 or keep the htcp2 ....or heck should i go with any other verizon phone that will do much more and better job than these two.....please help

Welcome to forums
Rhodium is a great device if you get rid of the stock ROM that is full of crap that makes it slower, also if you stay with Rhodium you´ll have the great support from this site.

Wife is Jealous....

We both bought TyTn II's (AT&T TILT)when we were avalable for upgrades. We both have loved out phones.
Well I messued up my USB port (thinking about sending it out to get repaired just for the resell value - and so I can mess with ROMS) any suggestions? Is there someone here on the forums that can replace the USB port professionally - I rather pay a forum member that is recognised than some SHOP - If not what shop do you all recommend (im in USA) don't want to go outside USA?
She still has her TILT and I went and Got a Fuze (upgraded again on another one of my family lines) - I've been in the raphael forums for a few days now and been messing with my phone for a bit over 24 hrs. IM using the new RomeOS2 1.40 1ENG rom and it is awesome.
Well she is jealous of my new phone. I don't feel like droppping another $350 to make her happy. There isn't many things the Fuze can do that the TyTn II can't do that she would use. As long as she has a Camera, Ability to call (contacts list) Google maps and messaging + use of her keyboard - it's basicly the same phone - Now I know the Fuze does alot more (but she will never get into it like I do). She basicly like the new interface and such.
I have been readingabout Kaiser roms now and it seems like there are a ton of choices.
I see the Hyperdragon III looks the most like the Fuze in terms of its interface - how well does it run on the TILT? I know there are performance issues as they never used the right Librarys to get the proper performance out of the processor. WIll it be smooth and will she like the experience compared to stock?
What Rom can I use that is the MOST STABLE, has all the features of the original rom and looks the most like the fuze rom (touchFlo3d and such?) Im thinking Hyperdragon III but point me to other good ones (links apprecaited) so I can figure out how to make her happy....(no jokes please... )
All help is appreacited in advance...

HyperDragon III Raphael is GREAT on the Tilt, That's what I'm using after several and it's so fast makes my Fuze feel a little slow, LOL. it's a great rom.
Hope this helps you get out of that 2nd Fuze.
Beachboyde
+1 for Hyperdragon
runs super lovely on my tilt
smooth as butter
With something like L26's latest rom u can get the manila 3d interface - the hyperdragon rom is the 2d version which is different to the fuze's...however...manila 3d is still in process of being ported so dont expect it to work perfectly.

Help to find a kick a** phone

Hi all.
I'm looking for an mobile phone with som realy nice specs but I don't know what I should chouse.
my requerements is
Gprs/Edge/3g for datatravel
GPS
WM6
500+Mhz processor
nothing fancy just a stable one with some kick ass performance.
I curently have an HTC Touch HD but there is some bugs and performance isues, so I would like some other type of phone.
I'm located in Denmark so ofcourse it should be availeble in dk
hope to get some helt from y'all
I guess either the Samsung Omnia or the Sony Xperia X1 would be two of your best choices. I personally don't own either one but have read great things about both of them! Hope this helps.
check pdadb.net which has all the latest device info, comparisons, specs, etc...
Personally, i wouldn't buy the Omnia nor the Xperia.. but maybe that's just me.
ETEN make very good pdas..
and through my own experience i very much liked the Touch Pro tho i've heard of some problems with it as well (the diamond sucks)..
you should remember that during the 2nd half of 2009 WM7 is supposed to arrive, and it might need new hardware thus.. different devices. I'm using a polaris right now and waiting for WM7 to come out to look for a decent device.
Personally, if i were you, i wouldn't put my money on something crazy right now before the crazy wm7 fiasco begins.. you can get a Polaris, which is a KICKASS phone.. if you're in a hurry to switch.
wait til mid 2009
if u can wait TEGRA
Thx for all the great reply's I can't wait for the WM7 and it dosnt matter because the application is only supported om wm6. I don't like som brand new devise because there is always somthing wrong with the rom, I like so wait and get a more stable release.
I need some soon because I have to test et with the software 15/01-2009, I have found a small mobile that looks interesting
"Opticon H19A Windows Mobile 6.0" http://www.opticonmobility.com/products/h19a
I like the idea with the Laser scanner so we have the oportunity to scan the barcodes instead of typing the numbers

would you buy

1 - htc diamond 2
2 - htc touch pro 2
3 - htc hero
4 - htc firestone
& why ?
Out of those options, I'd buy a TP2.
I would however *consider* the HTC Hero as it seems like an interesting handset.
tp2 because it's the latest & greatest.
btw, your 1st post...welcome to the great xda forum.
so, wich one do u like & why?
TP2!!
Because is a buisness oriented device, it has nice keyboard and I like the design.
I don't know yet - that's the reason for the Poll
I'm looking to buy a do it all phone that can be customized and playied with and thinking of waiting for the firestone but how long and how much ?
so maybe just buy something now and keep it for 2/3 years
wanted to get your expert opinion first
thanks.bye

nobody seems too excited about the firestone - 0 vote
it's that becouse not enouth innovation or becouse it's too early and the release date & price is still a unknown ?
TD2 4 TEH WIN!!!
Reason= I have one
Diamond 2 or Hero, they look just great and have great specs...
yes TD2 looks really good and would probably be my choice right now but I was wondering if the TP2 was worth the extra money, about €200 (and save them to buy the device that will come AFTER the firestone) from the price that I see or to wait for the firestone if the price is similar to TP2
ofcourse the hero looks very promising and being open could develop/improve faster than waiting for WM7
is the firestone that much better and worth waiting for it or a ROM upgrade could make the TD2 close the gap to the TP2/Firestone
tehhoe about the TD2 do youu have any problem with the dust getting inside the cover?

I would probably buy Toshiba TG01 , But Since Im not in a Hurry Ill wait for HTC Superstar!!!!
BUT I DONT HAVE THE $$$$$$ FOR NONE!!!
Touch Pro2,
The keyboard has everything you need, especially the rare ctrl key.
Got a TG01 two weeks ago. Quite beta OS but a beautiful device!
TD2 or Hero, although the former is more realistic due to US carrier subsidization. I so want a TP2, but I just can't justify the extra hundred or so for the same lackluster internals. Plus I have smaller hands, and the TD2/Hero would probably be easier to navigate single-handed.
thanks
thanks to all who voted or give their opinion but my new toy will have to wait as I had to help a friend in need
well maybe the successor of the firestone will be something worth waiting for
Hero for me!
for me its a tie between tp2 and hero. but hero it is! all the while i thought the hero and the firestone are one and the same gadget. lol!
Of course TP2 ! Great abilitys , 5-row keyboard ...
The best and newest ! (well the toshiba tg01 is even not bad)
not too much enthusiasm for the firestone I see, shouldn't it be better than the TP2 ? better camera and new UI ok no keyboard but with a bigger screen should be ok the soft keyboard too or I'm missing something?

so so so bored with the Treo Pro

REEEEALLLLLLLLLY bored with it...
Nobody wants to see this ****. Post this somewhere else.
mind your business noob....
This should not be posted in the upgrading section. Please don't clutter this forum with threads like this. They really don't contribute in any way!
I believe that a lot of people agree with you that it's a boring device when it comes to ROM's etc. On the other hand you can still tweak it a lot!
I use a TouchPro2 now but I just can't get rid of my Pro 'cause it's such a good device for me
Hope there will be some new life into this thread when the Pro get's released by other providers.

As a matter of fact yes, we have an unlocker and 3 roms to choose from, but all 3 are not working the way they should. We need more cooks and more testers before things get released that simply do no work.
why don't you just ditch the phone and get an htc hero when it comes out. that's what i am going to do, eventually (probably dec 15, my birthday, when i get $$$). the phone was once good but now obsolete. there are so much better phones than it coming out if not already out.
Bored with your Treo Pro?
Give it to me, i have a Tilt2 (Touch Pro 2) and I'm just as bored it not more. (Wow i been around since 2006 and this is my first post begging for a phone) Sad.
trade?
I will trade you for a used HTC fuze if you want...I am bored with it as well and am looking for something with a front facing keyboard...but its gotta be a gsm treo pro

Damn,... I wish I could trade it with you,.. sadly mine is GSM subsidized.. so I can't get rid of it. Love my Treo Pro,.. but I'm as bored as anyone.. I carry it and my Touch Pro2 and I still can't get enough of the eye candy on Sense..
Wish someone brought Sense to a 320x320 device..
the treo pro is a much better phone over the Fuze or TP
I traded my TP for Treo Pro and... I never once after like 6 months thought about the TP. I did not miss a single thing about it.
Not so boring anymore--Try Androkkid and add programs
The windows today screen is boring but the Treo Pro can be updated with a launcher. Adrokkid gives you the android feel,is fully customizable and works ok on the 320x320 screen. Cab express 4.0 is a great program to update your Treo Pro. Lets you see utilities and more, see ratings and instant download. Battery usage can be limited by doing manual updates on email, weather and gps. Otherwise Treo is constantly checking same.
@Sagitario
I'm using Pointui with Pointsense theme. Search for 320x320 on Community section of website. www.pointiu.com

You can use a cooked rom on this device too

Snapdragon 1 GHz is great BUT...

I just picked up a LG IQ (Monaco) from Telus, but I am not sure what to do....I posted a similar list of questions over on ppcgeeks, but then relized that the LG IQ is sort of a GSM phone (Telus seems to be migrating to a GSM G3+ system from thier CDMA system) and thier might be more interest over here.
I did have a Rogers GSM Apache prior to my Touch Pro, so I was watching this sight quite a bit years ago.
I have just come from a Touch Pro, so the LG IQ is a smokingly fast device, both from a responsiveness, and web surfing point of view. The 1 GHz realy DOES make a difference!!!
But that is my problem...
For what it does, its great, but the interface is far behind the latest Sence builds ( I have mostly used Energy CDMA ROM's on my Touch Pro - thanks NRG!!).
So I have a phone that does stuff FAST, but I miss all the bells and whistles of the new HTC software.
1. What to you guys think..should I keep the device, or go to a Touch Pro2, a known but much more limited hardware platform?
2. Do you think there will be enough interest to open it up and start building kitchens/ROMs?
3. Should I just live with it and put Spb shell or something on it?
Sadly the TP2 or the Omnia (1) really are the only WM options available directly from telus right now, and I am quite a committed WM user (I started with the original CE PDA's)
Ready to hear all thoughts.
If there is interest I will post a miny review in a couple of days...are you interested?
keep your 1G phone! everybody say window mobile is sluggish, maybe on 528mzh cpu, but on snapdragon 1G i dont feel any slowness, it quick! and load/render web pages really quick too! if the phone is hot/popular, people will make custom rom for it!
i love my Acer neotouch with 1G cpu, it' so fast!
i tihnk u should keep it. i would love to hv the lg expo as my 2nd phone. mostly because of the keyboard.
right now im on acer neotouch which also has the 1ghz snappydragon and it feels really snappy compared to my old wm phone (X1).
however it also lacks a custom interface likes htc's sense but i hv installed PointUI on my acer just to cover up some of the default windows stuff. maybe u can try that.
i think there will be enough interest in the lg expo that some smart ppl will start developing custom roms for it.
just like my acer neotouch. i was surprised a couple of members here hv cooked custom roms with htc sense for it. though i havent tried them out myself. maybe in time.

1) No, the Touch PRo hasn't been out that long either. There will be plenty of goodies for the LG soon enough once it gets a bit more market penetration. I myself have the phone on order but won't be getting it until next week or later (hoping it arrives before christmas x (>.<) x [fingers crossed]). Just give it some time.
2)Most assuredly! The eXpo has quite the winning combo of hardware features. I'm most excited about the touch sensor, no more trackball nightmares! Nevermind the cool stuff that can be done with the projector.
3)I think you just need to be patient. You are on the bleeding edge of tech, it's going to take the community a little while to catch up esp considering the holiday season. All these wonderful programmers and ROM chefs have families too.
dude r u serious !!!
offcourse keep the lg iq ...
sooner or later there will be a port ..
wait until att release it...
2c
Keep the IQ and please do a rom dump of it quickly too! PM me and I can help you if you need. Thanks!
u might not get custom roms unless spocky12 plans to cook one.
either way, the snapdragon makes up for the sluggish WM.
u'll still be able to install apps made by the wonderful people here at xda.
i say keep the phone!
Once you have snapdragon, why go back to anything with less cpu...Keep it!

I'm actually waiting on mine too. I was told I should get it on Tuesday. I've read everything I can on the eXpo and that was what made me choose that over the Tilt2 (TP2). If anything just for the 1ghz processor. I'm using a Tilt right now with a sakajati hyperdragonIV Mega rom and it runs ...ok I guess. I'm running SPB mobile shell on top instead of manilla and it's running a lot faster. If the S-Class interface isn't to my liking (which I'm sure it will be) I'll probably just install the SPB mobile shell if I can. I'm sure it would look pretty sweet on the higher res screen.
Keep the Monaco. Like others have said before me, it's a great phone and more "goodies" will come out in (hopefully) not too long. It's so new here in the states that I can't even find accessories specifically for it. Not even a case. Hell I can't even find where I can buy the projector. I'd get that now if I could. lol (Cubicle movies at work lol )

Totally Jealous. I bought mine from amazon full price, they say I won't get it until at least the 23. Just ditched my G1, Android is crap IMHO. This will be my first WinMo phone and I'm looking forward to it. I'm new to this flashing thing but it looks like a lot of fun, I've allways held off getting a smart phone until the browsers improved and they certainly have come a long way recently. Looking forward to winmo7 and IE9.
Did this ROM get dumped yet?
I was going to go to the store and dump one of the phone's roms from there for MightyMike and Juggalo_X at PPCGeeks. If this guy is doing it then I'm sure Astain will pass it on to those two.
Trust me don't go back to a sluggish msm72xxx cause your going to regret it, just be patient rom cooking will come, probably in the coming months, so just keep it and try installing htc cabs on it.
If you really miss touchflo, look for throttlelauncher with a skin, its free and does the same thing, and is more customizable. Of course, the touchflo tweaks will not work for it

thanks for the tip...but as time goes on I am getting to like the S-class UI better and better!
This is a phone that was hard to like at first, but grows on you FAST!
I will jump in there and say I will be working for custom roms as soon as I get mine so damn I cant wait to get it... Hows the rom dump coming?
setimpson got some errors when he tried to dump it.
it may not function the same way as the htc phones.
