Detailed HTC Touch Pro2 review

Hi guys,
Here's a detailed review about the HTC Touch Pro2.
It's in Dutch, but even if you can't read it (or perhaps use Google Translator) you'll enjoy looking at the pics.
There are three demo videos showing the interface and multimedia, and the proof that the AC T110 TV out cable will work (the original Touch Pro cable).
Link to the review.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks great review!

pretty good review. Handles almost 90% of the things I wan't to know about the phone

informative review...keep them coming!

hey, check out this video in case you want to see the sprint mogul vs the TP2:

Radio or not, man, I want this phone and I will go buy it if it's available tomorrow. So fast and smooth. Sounds great too! I can do without the radio.

2 questions....
1. In that review, it said it comes with ultra clear screen protector. do you really think it will come with one or will i have to buy one separately?
2. Question about the accelerometer. when you pull the keyboard out the screen switches to landscape mode. Do you think if you just turn the phone sideways that the screen will turn to landscape mode (with the keyboard closed)????

1. Yes for sure. All my HTC phones came with screen protectors.
2. No, you will need a tweak to switch the home screen to landscape mode by turning the phone. Some software will work by turning the phone but not the home screen.

That's stupid that they advertise it has a accelerometer since you have to open the keyboard to switch to landscape mode. i bought the htc tilt when it first came out for at&t and I'm pretty sure that it didn't come with a screen protector. You said all your htc phones did? Did you buy the tilt?

Huh? what do you mean? In what way would landscape mode be USEFUL with the keyboard not open? I don't understand. In the browser, with the keyboard closed, you should be able to rotate the phone and the screen will rotate...also with photos, and anything else you need to do in landscape...but a landscape switch for TouchFlo3D without the keyboard out is kinda pointless, no?
I don't mean to start a massive fight about it, but I don't want my phone rotating touch flo like crazy just because I am holding the phone a certain way. What if I am gesturing towards something with the TouchPro2 in my hand and when I bring my hand back, everything is all landscape and I have to wait for it to rotate back?
I don't think this is dumb, and I feel it can easily be fixed with just a software tweak. Shouldn't be hard at all...although I do not understand what you would need it for.

No...Your idea is more stupid. like NeoDMD said, I dont want my home screen rotating everytime I move. It is useful for certain applications but definitely not the home screen.!

hopefully the transition between home screen and landscape mode is very fast, hopefully no load time

so like some applications will take you into landscape mode even if you have the keyboard closed like it you played a video or went into camera mode right or even internet browser?

Nope. I don't have the TILT, but my P3600i and HD came with one. I know the TD2, Cruise and Cruise 2 also comes with one. So I presume most of them will. Maybe they didn't give it to you or it was stolen from your box

BTW, I saw the video on the TV-Out part and there was some flickering near the end of the movie where they were using coreplayer. Does anyone know what he is talking about and why it is flickering like mad?
Many thanks!

I believe the point would be to be able read it comfortably while holding it in landscape. Why would I need the keyboard open to use TF3d? And why wouldn't I want to use TF3D in landscape mode? I'm going to be reading, watching vids, and browsing in landscape mode. Do I have to rotate back to portrait every single time I go back into TF3D?
I don't understand. In the browser, with the keyboard closed, you should be able to rotate the phone and the screen will rotate...also with photos, and anything else you need to do in landscape...

Isn't that still a problem for other apps? Like the browser etc. If you're willing to accept the problem there, what's so crazy about someone else being willing to risk it everywhere?

Honestly what'd I like more than accelerometer detection is the ability to fix everything in landscape (although I could stand the phone app being in portrait) permanently. Portrait is next to useless to me. I'm new to winmo, but do you think someone will/has tweak(ed) it that way? Or is there a control panel setting?

I am too a bit disappointed that the homescreen landscape choice isn't there from the factory (without the kb open)
How do we use this phone in the car in a holder while using it also as an GPS device. I would have to use a holder that can hold it kb out or then i'd need a rotating holder to flip it every time i go out of the GPS. Not a big pain, but still.
How about a button (on the screen) to make it flip to landscape (similar to the one that triggers the phone when the kb is open)

GNEX Game thread[testing]

Oke.
just to point this out and help a couple of people.
the current state of gaming on the Gnex is..rater terrible.
Allot of game's camp with the multitouch error/glitch/compatibility.
Yes multitouch doesnt work how it should work.
The cause of this might be the SB(software buttons)
and an API that needs to be implemented to the game to hide the SB.
And these are the apps i currently have tested and dont work with multitouch:
GTA 3-(update announced for gnex)[No market support yet]
Cartoon Wars
Modern combad 3[No market support]
GTA3 explenation:
When touching accelerate and making a right or left turn, your car slows down.
When touching right or left and accelerate.your car does not accelerate.
CM3 explenation:
Random Stoping occures.
Glitshing/shivering touch pads.
Not being able to aim and move around at the same time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_Zfi3i1ejs
These all are randomly occurring and happen on most Gnex devices.
its the same thing when you put 2 touch pads next to each other in unity3D.

As for shadow gun,than that might only be my Gnex with faulty Data files.
video currently uploading/processing.
in the video itl show the conflict area thats causing the multitouch problem.
this problem would disappear if the conflict area is gone. and to make that disappear.you need to make the SB disappear.

i dont understand the point of the thread. you are pointing out that some games, which arent out for the galaxy nexus dont work right?
just wait until the games are out for the galaxy nexus......

Hes not blaming the games, hes just pointing out incompatibility issues. I have experienced this issue on and off with some games, GTA III in-particular.

The issue is the bug. Once incurred you can only get rid of it via toggling your screen off/on. Seems to be the trick.
I've experienced it in several other games also. Works fine then totally bugs out. Seemed to me it had something to do with the screen timer. I was playing a game and my gf grabbed my attention. When I returned to playing it was all bugged out. Toggle the screen and went back to business.
I don't think it has anything to do with the on screen soft keys, but rather a screwed up kernel driver.

[Q] Stop Game Pad From Unlocking Screen

Well I have been looking around but havent found this anywhere...is there a way to stop the screen from unlocking when the gamepad slides out. Its getting really annoying when the phone is in my pocket I pull it out and I have 1000 things open. Thanks.

It's funny I have the exact opposite problem. I want it to open up every time i slide out my gamepad.

I feel ya, man. I hate how sliding the pad open unlocks the phone. I have to turn it off if I'm doing something that requires a lot of movement, otherwise I take my PLAY out to find it loaded with about a dozen apps (not exaggerating). Would've been much better as a flip phone, IMHO.

exact same thing that happens to me...was building a cat thing (something like this) for my fiance the other day to find tons of stuff open and lots of settings changed...was not a very nice surprise lol. I agree a flip phone would of been better.

brock029 said:

There should be an option to "Launch Xperia Play by sliding phone" or something like that in the Xperia Play Launcher Settings.
You can also install a custom lockscreen from the Play Store that allows Landscape orientation, i.e. WidgetLocker (Not free) or some other one.
Sorry, I don't much about modding system files.

VR compatible screen apk for Note II - Split Screen.

hello guys,
I don't know whether it is right place for posting this or not but i am posting here because the application still requires some improvement as it is not fully compatible with N7100 and i am not a android developer (I build websites). First of all, let me tell you that this application splits the phone screen into two parts for 3d view or VR view.
Problem:
1. Only works with DU ROM i.e don't work with Touchwiz,AOSP or CM Roms--- atleast for me it didn't work you can check on yours.
2. On DU Roam too the colors gets inverted ,,.,.,. i don't know how to tell .. but i think the phone doesn't display red color after installing this so everything kind off masses up but you can still play games like this .
3. the touch doesn't changes. I mean when the screen splits the orientation of touch do not changes and also it seems like you have to select the application by touching the screen where the application was before splitting up the screen.
I know this application is very useful for many people. that is why i am posting it here. Can somebody modify this application or give me some directions and little help. I want this application to run smoothly on our NOTE II.
Thanks.

Question Fast swiping/scrolling issue in games

Has anyone experience any issues when swiping or scrolling in games ?
I have posted some information and videos on it on reddit... https://www.reddit.com/user/Stanleyjello
Swiping/scrolling fast in apps (non-games) works fine, also using a s-pen in games works fine -but when you use your finger then that when things go weird (swiping slowly works -but not when you do it fast).
(note: swiping and scrolling fast works fine on my other Samsung devices -but is very noticeable on the Fold 3 and does affect gameplay). This is my second device now as the first had these issues as well.
I have also contacted Samsung (but I am still waiting to hear from them).
Would anyone here be able to confirm they are experiencing these issues as well ?
Cheers

anyone ?

Please could someone help me test by downloading either GolfBlitz or FruitNinja2 to see if they are getting the same issues like I was in the videos.

I tested fruit ninja 2 and seems every thing is fine.
I have some others touch problem, sometimes the screen touch freeze for milliseconds, for example when i am typing quickly some words ignored....

I think the lack of response here has convinced me to return this device.

I have had touch issues with games off and on and what solved 90% of the issues that I had was to go into the Labs and for each game with issues, turn the Aspect Ratio to App Default.
Every game (in particular PokemonGo) that I changes to App Default has, for the most part, resolved the issues with touch.
Hope this helps!

Yes, I tried that (and so many other things).
Would you mind trying out Golf Blitz ?
I have tried everything (different forums, stores, samsung support, etc) to try and get someone to help me test this.

Ok, so I thought my next meeting was at the top of the hour, it is, just not this hour.
SO, I installed it and did some tests with playing. Fast and Slow swipes and did not have any issues with playing the game and even getting some really nice shots in!
The ball meter is at the center of the screen which I thought might cause some issues and it worked without any issues at all. Just make sure I got all the test points in, here is what I did:
1. Went through the tutorial to learn and make shots. Couple parts were a little confusing, but after getting the hang of it, not issues.
2. Played a few holes with others and won them without issue. I used power-ups and some shots without and still no touch issues presented themselved.
3. I played around and did normal swings and quick swings and still no issues.
Let me know if there is anything else you want me to mess with.
Thanks!

Ah ok, could you try swiping quickly through the list of Teams and Players in the 'Leaders' area
https://www.reddit.com/r/ZFold3/comments/px87vm
In the video where I am scrolling through the Teams and Players, I am only swiping upwards (down the list). This happens whilst playing the game as well -but is more difficult to show.

Looks good for me. I am not having any issues at all with the scrolling.

wow ok so I might have a faulty device then.
And you could scroll fast through the list without it stuttering or bouncing ? (like in the video)
Would it be possible to post a video of the scrolling?
Also do you have the latest update (Oct 1st Security patch) ?

I sometimes notice the slow scrolling in random apps in portrait. If I turn the phone to landscape then its quick. Go back to portrait and its quick again. Seems to be very random but usually fixes it for me.
