Ok so i dont like the phones that sprint has other than the hero...
but that is a low end and i dont know about going away from windows mobile...
anyone else get rid of their mogul and go to the other side?
how are the apps for google?
free?
trying to figure out what to do.. my mogul works but seems to have memory leaks even with stock rom... which i may put back on and take to them... also a gps app does not work but used to on my last mogul (replaced due to water damage).. same app no install just .exe runs but doesnt connect via gps....so my phone got issues? not sure how to approach sprint with that one as every other feature works ok... other than a few days in need to reboot as i have 85% mem used with nothing running!!!!!
has the titan been replaced?
The HTC Touch Pro 2 has replaced the mogul.
WM6.5 can run for a month with no change in memory usage. (Oxios is a nice app, if you haven't tried it)
I have seen GPS hardware break on these phones.
Don't buy this model used, nor would I trust the quality of any HTC phone ever again (read on if you want to find out my perspective on why)
I can't believe the poor quality of these phones. I am on my 5th Mogul in a year and a half.
1st Brand New: Green Phone key died
2nd: Hard locked hourly, Green Phone key died
3rd: Keyboard stopped working, Green Phone key died
4th: Keyboard backlight died, GPS DIED, Green Phone key died ( My friends did this too, there is some type of hardware failure, sprint nav, google maps, windows live just died, weak gps signal)
5th: Brand new sealed box replacement flashed to 6.5 and it's been a dream, but I bet money it will have all those issues within a year ( It's been two months).
The first 4 developed a damn "hot spot" in the bottom left of the screen. The first 4 all had some issue with the green or red phone button on the front. I just don't know if I can trust HTC after all that (I had 3 brand new htc 6700's within 1.5 years, blown speaker, dead power issues, and d-pad issues).
I am replacing my fathers phone with a BB tour tomorrow. We shall see how it stacks up. Already, i'm hating the fact that wifi is gone. I'm 6ish month off from my "upgrade". I hate to leave HTC, but I'll lose my mind if another $300 phone pulls this crap on me within a year of ownership. That said, my upgrade will probably be a TouchPro2 unless I like the BB tour after my dad has it for a few weeks and I learn it's strengths and weaknesses. I can't believe I put up with HTC and Windows this long... I'm a sucker for nice tech even if I know it'll die on me in countless ways.
im looking at the samsung moment now..
although i dont want to pay $199 and get a $100 mir....
yeah $99... but my mogul is working....
when i got the wife a new phone.. i beat them up and pretty much got her phone free.....

I used to love this phone very much I can't stand it anymore. My last one treo 680 had was hanging once every 10 calls on an incoming call. Spent numerous hours reading forums trying all kinds of stuff including hard reset and manually inputting every single phonebook item. Nothing it just kept on hanging.
Recently bought a treo pro. Except for the inability to sync with a MacOS which is actually a major shortcoming the phone worked fine... At least until I found those f...in cracks on the phone body mentioned in one of the posts. Shipped to the warranty service which told me that the repair will take between 4-6 weeks. They are probably going to send it with the slowest post service to china and have it repaired there. 6 weeks is more than 10% of the warranty period.
In one word - the worst deal ever.
The second I get this phone back I'm selling it.
Cracks
I also found a little crack and asked them what to do; they arranged a pick-up service and it took about 10 days and I received a new one; so You might hope that it comes back faster (in my case it went to the UK and back).
Cracks...
Since I just happened to stumble upon this post, I might as well add my own little rant about Palm...
I purchase my Treo Pro Oct 31/08. In January I noticed the cracks everyone is talking about.. By the volume there 2 and one by the wireless button.
I live in Canada. The Treo Pro does not sell in Canada so I purchased mine online from the US.
Palm Canada will not honour the warranty because they do not sell it and told me since I purchased it in the US, I would have to speak with Palm US.
Palm US, will not honour the warranty because I do not have a US Shipping location. I do not know anyone in the US. Palm can easily arrange to drop the phone in to one of the many shipments going back and forth to Palm Canada but decided to tell me that it's my problem. Well. Nice Customer service. I spent $500 plus dollars for their phone, Palm could care a less about their customer, even when they know that the Cracks are a known issue.
Let me say one more thing here. The phone is made by HTC. The last phone I purchased was an HTC as well - The Vogue. You know, The one with the MSM-7500 Chipset with the Imageon (Missing) driver issue? One of the many HTC phones which HTC decided not to include the driver for? (See here.. http://www.htcclassaction.org/)
To say the least, I am a little pissed at HTC as well as Palm for dropping the ball in both cases. I will think very hard about the Pre, or any HTC products in the future (not).
In the meantime its has been already 5 weeks. Palm keeps saying that the phone is not ready yet. Isn't there like a maximum reparation time after which they must refund?
Bought a DVD player from Panasonic once. Since it had some problems I think we have to add them to the list of worst company as well
I tried numerous Palm devices wich worked just fine. With and without all the tweaking I do on devices.
Noticed a stuck pixel on my Palm Pro and Palm is going to repair it. So that's actually a plus since my old SPV e200 wasn't repaired and had the same problem..
I hope an admin is going to close this useless thread..
I have a Treo 750 and sofar im happy with it. I got it as a used phone but it was in a real good condition.
I had Treo 650,680,750 and now I have Treo Pro, and Centro as a second phone.
Only 650 I had to replace, it was unstable. The second one was OK.
I still believe, the PalmOS was the best mobile system - superfast response, simple interface, even my wife understood it . Today, I would crash the Treo Pro to the ground waiting for something to appear sometimes. But I still like this form factor and would not buy another phone.
Guys,
I have had my touch hd for a couple of months now and it has developed a fault.
the micro SD slot will not keep the card locked in.
it stays in place with the back on but as soon as you take the back off it springs out.
I got the phone from my local cex.co.uk in about Jan and it does come with a 12 month warranty.
I swapped my touch Pro for this one and have been reletively happy with it so far.
I have been advised by Cex via email that I am entitled to a refund on the phone as it is faulty and they do not have a replacement in stock at my local store anyway.
So I now have the best part of £350 to spend on another mobile.
anyone have any ideas what to go for ???
that kind of money would also pay off my current contract too.. so i could start again with another operator (which i am kinda swinging towards as T-mobile reception is absolutley garbage for me)
though I would stick it out with the right handset.
like i said i do kinda like the touch hd but there are some other nice phones out there too..
I think my dad is getting the new LG Arena which looks kinda nice too... (if a bit of an iphone clone)
thanks...Dean
Actually not trying to be funny or anything....but try an iphone, you may seriously love the device and the UI. Especially the beautiful touch screen.
I'm pretty sure there will be many who will bash me for saying this (this is afterall a WinMo device site)...but honestly, I've owned many WinMo phones (more then 12 sets) and recently got an iphone to play around and the interface, quality, smoothness, blows me away. Try it and you may never turn back.
One more thing, unlike WinMo, so far i've not got a hang so bad that I've to reset the iphone yet. Most of the time pressing and holding onto the home button kills the offending app.
Thanks Prelude
I would prob go for an iphone as I love my ipod touch anyway...
just impossible to get an O2 signal where I work either..
going to have to be Orange or 3 i think as we have an Orange booster within the building to enable all the boss's company mobiles to work.
still could get an unlocked one i suppose...
This is the message I sent HTC, because I am getting kinda sick of how laggy my titan is. I don't have an insurance company so I can't return it to Alltel. I sent it 5 days ago and haven't gotten a response, guess to many people killed their phones on purpose.
Hello, I am currently using the HTC PPC6800 on Alltel, and I am having some problems with it. The down button stopped working, and the keyboard has to be pressed pretty hard for it to register the letters, the space bar misses spaces all the time. The power button is worn down so that sometimes it has to be pressed more than once for it to work. The call quality isn't the greatest, and I'll get roaming signs from inside my house. The phone is very slow with one app running, and lags very badly with more than one. I was hoping that I could upgrade to a newer phone. I'd be willing to pay some money, but I don't want to pay the $300 that it would cost elsewhere. Thank you for your time.
Well that is a pretty good letter. Was your 6800 a refurb? Mine is, and it still works awesome but I had to go through six refurbs to get this one really good unit. Sounds like you got the short end of the HTC hardware stick. That is really too bad. Was your phone in warranty? Let us know if they get back to you.
I bought it off ebay and it was used but it hadnt been activated or something weird like that, there were no scratches or anything. They emailed me back and said that they couldn't help because they don't sell phones. I can't go through alltel to do it since I didn't buy it from them.
Next time get insurance it will save you the headache.
Hello everyone,
My hd2 was running fine for the past (when did it come out?) and all of a sudden after putting it into sleep mode (clicking the red button) the screen became unresponsive after turning it on again.
Before, the screen would only be unresponsive only after putting the phone in sleep mode, but now the screen is not responding wherever I am in the phone.
I did task 29 5 times with different roms/radios and no such luck.
I've read in other posts that it's a hardware AND a software problem, and there certainly ISN'T any solutions to the problem.
My question is that has anyone had an partial victories over this problem?
I'm currently in the middle east working and I'll be returning to Texas in a month.
I have a backup phone, the n97... what a wreck, I really hate that phone. If I see another "memory is full" warning, I'll blow my head off.
I guess karma is a *****, last month I was complaining hard about the HD2 (made a huge post... actually) and now it struck out on me, on the worst time.
A tip to anyone who's having a similar problem, use "MyMobiler" to control your phone via your computer, it saved me from losing my new contacts
Also, for the people who replaced their phones, do I need to call ahead of time to get a replacement or would I be able to simply walk into a T-mobile store and get a replacement? (I currently have an ongoing account with them)
Fun Fact: they sell the unbranded HD2 here for 1000 USD
mine started getting the "s.o.d." and requires a battery pull...never happened before and i'm on stock..a hard reset or replacement is in my future!
The battery pull used to worked, but not anymore. I feel that the body glove case might actually have something to do with this, since whenever there is a force pushed on the phone, that force will end up all around the screen and under the buttons.
I'm planning on selling the phone, so I guess it's a good thing. I'll get a brand new one.

You're planning on selling a touch phone, on which the touch screen doesn't work? Will you tell that to the buyer?
You should be able to exchange it for a new one under warranty.
anyone find a solution to this? I have now bought 2 hd2's that have done the exact same thing, I am on att network so I obviolsuy have no warranty, but this is rediculous, i love the phone when it works, just cant keep buying new phones that fail after 2 months, i now have 2 to send for repair to htc

what makes you think its not under warranty? its not illegal to unlock and use on another network. if tmous refuse to fix it,(though by rights they should, if you hav e proof of purchase), its still got its manufacturers warranty, it is after all less than a year old. contact htc, the most that should cost is the cost of returning it to them.
Hi guys i thought i would post this up
My DHD packed up a couple of months ago, and i replaced her with a HOX. I loved the DHD as its a very VERY capable piece of kit even 2 years down the line.
I contacted htc though the on line chat to explain the problems, no bluetooth, wifi failure, down button failure (initally it wouldnt boot at all with just 3 vibrations and flashing red light - volume down sticking).
I was told that the volume down was not covered under warrenty as it was a wear and tear item - because of that i would have to pay for the whole repair!!?? he also stated thier wasnt a known problem with the volume on the DHD even though there are 100s of reports on here and accross the net!!, because of that i very nearly returned my HOX in disgust, i didnt in the end but promised myself this would be the last time htc saw my money.
I put the DHD away and forgot about her for 8 weeks or so, until my wife asked me about a problem on her wildfire s runing out of space - to my horror she only has a minute amount of space on the phone, yet the dhd which was an older model had 1.5 gbs if memory serve.
I then thought the dhd would be better for her so i would give htc a call, i told them about the problem with the wifi and bluetooth and said the volume down had failed as well, he said the wifi and bluetooth are on the same board and it looks like thats the problem. He tried to run though a reboot proceedure then realised the volume down was kaput.
UPS picked up the phone on thurs morning.
I didnt expect to see the phone again for a month after some horror storys.
Anyways about an hour ago on the Tues my phone arrived back, as good as new!!! - if i didnt know any better i would say this is a brand new phone!, 5 days flat inc weekend!!!!
Im impressed to say the least
The phone has the same imei number but has a new body, the single scratch on the corner is gone and the dent in the grill is gone, the phone is like a brand new device even the wear and tear volume button is brand new!!
If i learned a lesson its not to bother with online chats now, humans over the phone are much more helpful than someone sitting at a keyboard, I knew my dhd was in excellent shape (zagg shield and noreve case it whole life) and i had actually done nothing to her to void a warrenty with the hardware - this was later prooved as it went in and was fixed under warrenty.
Well done HTC you have restored my faith in the brand - just show how some poorly tried online techs can tarnish a companies name to the end customer.
