Magnetic stylus on Touch Pro 2?

has anyone heard or seen whether the Touch Pro 2 will have a magnetic stylus. i know the diamond 2 doesnt but i hadnt seen anything about the touch pro 2

From the videos I have seen online, looks like it does. I am not 100% sure.

I saw a videoreview of the TP2 and it did not have a magnetic stylus, but It still did trigger the screen when you pull it out.
That's enough for me. A friend of mine has a Diamond 1 and he has lost 2 styluses. I would actually prefer my stylus to snap in place rather than having just a magnet hold it in place.

The TP2 definetly HAS a magnetic stylus and thats for sure. There was a quick hardware review on www.pda.pl and David confirmed that the stylus is magnetic

I have it in my hands right now and can tell you that the stylus is 100% not magnetic. But it does turn it on when you pull the stylus out.

you are so lucky to have this wonderful device. any thoughts, nags, concerns about the overall device

The unit I have has just locked - demo period expired - itself and I need to hardreset it - don't know how at the moment.
But I can say that it looks really great from the outside. Keyboard is fantastic. Even when I tilt the screen up I can still press numeric keys on the keyboard. I also love metalic rim on the top of the device, reminds me of iphone.
It feels much more solid than Touch PRO. Specially how the screen holds to the rest of device when you open and close it.
Even my girlfriend loves it and can't wait to get one .
I played with Xperia for some time this week and can tell you that this phone has much bettter feel - for me.
This phone even looks expensive and when I put it on the table besides Tuch PRO, HD or Diamond 2 (just did that ) it looks much better.
And, not to forget, the back is perfect - 100% no fingerprints. It's shiny and looks like cars body, metal silver/grayish metalic look.
Since I have most HTC phines at home I can say that this one is top of the line as for build quality (I don't know how would it perform over longer period of time), visual looks and feel.
Conclusion: this phone looks and feels great. I'm not easily satisfied and I know and own HTC phones since Qtek 2020 and can tell you that Touch PRO 2 is the best one I ever had in my hands. At the moment I would give it 9.5/10. Thats because it has no 3.5 mm headphone jack.
If only it would have a good camera so I could record good videos at 640x480... I did this with Diamond 2 and the video was not so good. Recorded a drive from home to work. Does not like fast moving too much .
I'll give the phone back today or monday at the latest and am sorry I could not run the software on it since it locked itself and I don't know how to hardeset it. All I manage to do is to send it in 3 color mode...

is the back cover made of entire plastic or are there any metallic parts?

It looks all plastic to me.

why would you want that anyway?

So it's plastic, nothing special, it just looks like it is made of mixed material. it still looks good though.
Can't wait till I can have a fiddle with it.

no it is not magnetic

... that sucks I thought a magnetic stylus would be pretty cool... but oh well

Doesn't really matter I think. I have lost a stylus already on the HD. So it's more secure using the clip on stylus.

with a clip on stylus, with time and use, the stylus usually loosens up, and becomes subject to falling out and being lost. so for me a magnetic stylus is a better deal.

I've had a Mio 168 (PDA/GPS), Mio A201 and a Mio P550. All these devices are with styluses that snap in place and I have never lost a stylus and that's everyday use on all 3 devices approx. 2years/device.

Agreed, I have had my P3600i for 2 years now and not lost a single stylus but lost my HD stylus within the first month. I have to be very careful with it now when I take it out of my pocket, so it doesn't drop off accidentally.

This is the case with my old MDA. I actually have to keep a golf tee in my pocket to use a stylus because I've lost all of mine. I use the stylus a lot, and wonder if whatever holds the thing in place with give way and loosen up.

I believe that everything is acceptable to wear and tear. That is natural. Is it fixable? If it is, then maybe get it fixed. I would rather replace one part of the phone every 2 3 years over replacing my stylus every other month. I guess we also have ourselves to blame for being uncareful. LOL.

How does the Titan compare to Rhodium?

Hi all,
I've been using a HTC Titan for the past 1.5 years and I'm going to need to get something new. The Titan is alright, but I've gone through 3 units because of keyboard problems and wifi issues. This whole process has left me somewhat disallusioned with HTC.
The Rhodium looks awesome and I know its relatively new, but will I be dissapointed if I give HTC another shot? Anyone made this jump as well? I'm hoping 2.5 generations will have made a huge difference.

I have...
And its defo a step up...Major step infact...
My TyTn II was so buggy now thinking about it...the Rhodium is a ot more smooth, however as usual WM has bugs.

I have also made the jump from Titan to Rhodium. I just couldn't stand the hardware issues anymore.
I must say I miss the large selection of buttons you had with the Titan and though it was a touch screen I think the interface for me was only like half touch. With the Rhodium its full touch for just about everything but TF3D makes up for Windows short falls and I am all but used to the interface after a week. Also if you are big into games on your Titan you may find that several do not work on the Rhodium as the screen res and lack of D button prevent them from playing.
Another issue for me was the soft reset being under the cover because no matter what I was soft resetting at least once a day with Titan. With the Rhodium I am running "Power Options" for resetting and shutdown and I have only fully locked up once where I had to remove the cover and hit the button.
Overall I think it was a good switch. The keyboard and HUGE touch screen along with the snappiness more than make up for lack of buttons. Hope this helps!

Is the extra weight easy to get used to?

I would say yes. I like a heavy phone just because I think it feels like a higher quality device and a lot more solid but thats just me. I like heavy pens too which may be for the same reason.
I think the better build quality over the Titan helps getting used to the weight. I also think it feels a little better in your hand than the Titan at least the Sprint one does as it has like a rubbery feeling battery plate and the rounded edges are wonderful. It appears much thinner to me.
Are you on Sprint or another carrier?

I had a titan for a while, I would've been happy if I had one that was brand new, had no problems and was faster.
That's EXACTLY what the TP2 is, it's a titan on steroids. It does and has everything that I wanted more out of my titan.
More power, longer battery life, bigger screen, 3.5mm jack (well if your CDMA), better keyboard (titan was pretty damn good, this one is better), tilt function.
I liked playing games on my titan, so it's a bit more difficult on the TP2, but to me the phone makes up for the lack of D-pad, I wouldn't give up this phone for a lesser with a D-pad.
I debated picking up a new/slightly used touch pro 1 to replace my titan, since I figured I could get one cheap since the TP2 was here. Then maybe down the road, replace it with the TP2 once the price drops or they become replacements for broken TP1s.
Now that I have the TP2, I wouldn't return it on the "return policy" to get a cheaper TP1 (which seem to have a few issues themselves). My buddy that owns a TP1 agreed, "If I had that phone (TP2), I wouldn't return it for a TP1"

I'm with Telus in Canada so I have the ole cdma version.
The one thing I think will be awesome is that itll be so much easier pressing the "x" on the screen because of the smoothed edges. I always found the screen edge on the titan to be really annoying. Of course, win 6.5 will supposedly fix this by moving the "x"

Its definitely way easier and I don't know that the change in WM6.5 will even matter to me since I no longer have issues pressing the "X".
The Titan was very annoying with the screen being in a giant crater.

Tilt 2 or Pure?

I cant make up my mind. Is there any issues I should know about? Any help would be appreciated.

Rhodium if you prefer to have the best hardware keyboard device to this date
And don´t forget to vote!

QWERTY all the way
If you are into typing alot (messaging, emailing, ... etc) than forget about full touch devices, .. QWERTY is the way to go, .. IMO touch screen texting would NEVER replace full QWERTY keyboard no matter how good it was
having that said, .. have you checked OmniaPro? .. It has QWERTY + AMOLED Screen + 800MHz Process and it is cheaper that Rhodium (Tilt 2) not sure if it comes to AT&T though
here is a link for comparison
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=5024

I would say go with the Tilt2. If you don't want to use the physical keyboard, you can always use the on screen one. That way you are not stuck with only the on screen one. (Personally, I like options.)
I used to have the first Tilt (it was my first phone with a physical keyboard). I don't think I will ever own another phone without one. However, I do find myself using the on screen keyboard every now and then on my Tilt2.

i love the tilt 2. The only thing that really bugs me about it is the weight and the size. Other than that, it's a great device.
I think these are the question you have to ask yourself:
1-do you type a lot, and do not mind the weight and size. if so, go with tilt 2. (additional benefit of titlt 2 is the larger screen size which is much easier to use when you use the finger and brwose web).
2-do you want a small and portable device, if so, get pure.

Tilt 2.....

I learned how to type really fast using the iPhone, but for some reason the HTC keyboard doesn't 'catch up' to space bar button presses that well. I have to wait for the space to add in and the auto word correction options to go away and it slows me down.
I heavily considered the Pure, but I went with the Tilt 2 because of the screen. The device itself isn't that thick so if you wanted to go all touch screen you won't really feel like you have a needlessly large device in your hand. The Pure's screen is tiny in comparison to the iPhone and the Tilt 2's screen. At least for me. And I don't take many pictures, but without a reliable flash, 3MP and 5MP really don't make much of a difference.
I'd go with the Tilt 2 and find a good third party software keyboard. You won't be disappointed with the slide out keyboard should you decide to use it.

Tilt2 for the screen and I like the face down speakerphone. I also like the heavy feel of it. The Pure just feels so cheap to me in comparison.

I have the Tilt 2 as I wanted the hardware KB. However, after installing Swype, I am finding myself using it less and less.
The screen is also a bit larger in the Tilt 2

I have used both and I must say the larger screen on the tilt2 is more useful than I thought
imo if you're a big texter get the tilt2...whether you're using the hardware or the on screen keyboard, its just a lot easier on tilt2
but if you like to take pictures with your phone get the pure...I found that besides the difference in resolution, the pure takes way better pictures...theres no match (pictures taken by the pure are clear and have nice colors...the camera on the tilt2, on the other hand, is just so bad that its impossible to not take a noisy picture)

I tried the Pure for a few weeks. It is nice but I did not like the small keyboard much. Most keys were ok but the side keys for me were hard to get. e.g. press the one key and you get the two key, etc.
One other thing that bugged me was the vibration of the camera when I sat it down. Or sometimes when I tapped it in my hands. I took it back and looked at a new one and it did the same thing. No biggy.
I did return it though. They took it back without any questions.
My store was Radio Shack. $29.95 w/2 year renewal.
AT&T store 149.99.
I have ordered a Tilt 2. After testing it out at the AT&T($250 before $50 rebate) store it felt nice.
I ordered a refurb through Amazon for $50 and renewed 2 year contract. The new one was $174.
If ordered new through Amazon for $99 with a new 2 year contract.
I just hope the refurb is good. I am poor .

HTC m8 pitfalls?

I'm a long time HTC sensation user and have modded it all the way up to lollipop. Sadly, the wife just dropped it and cracked her entire screen - just today. It was a fun, slo-mo event. Happily, that means it's time to upgrade. sssshhh I know I can buy a new screen...but it's time for an upgrade after 4+ years.
I'm pretty sure I'm going for the m8 rather than the s5, but I'm curious about any, shall we say, un-"reviewed" pit falls?
Things like:
I know the battery is non removable but the S5 has a removable one. We had the sensation so long we burned through a few ankers and it really helped the life span. Comments on the real world battery? One of the strength, to me, was the removable battery. I have an old itouch, with a, let called it, hard to deal with battery. It was nice to not be forced to upgrade when the battery became is hosed.
The modding power. I quite enjoy rooting/s-offing/breaking my phone - but ideally not bricking. I know htc has been a tad cranky in the past with this, it seems okay looking at the development community and I'm not reading up on too many issues but what are experiences between rooting/roming this vs the S5?
Any, I love this phone but, damn, this one thing really suck but there's a easy work around type things? Or it's be the best phone except the battery is ****? Things the main reviewers won't really say?
Hoping to join you guy here from the sensation forums in a few days(and of course root my phone asap)

It just doesn't feel right in my hands. Can't explain it but maybe it's just me and my dislike for curved phones. I still don't like how uncomfortable it feels to hold.

Enough that the phone isn't worth it? Have you moved on? Wished that you had an S5, nexus 5, etc? Any other major regrets besides the feel?

I have tried every other competitor till now. G3 - sluggish and heats up fast. S5 - build quality, knox and no gpe posibility. Z3 - Too pricey, low on updates and development, otherwise a spectacular phone. OnePlus - No stable ROM to date, even CM11SR44 is buggy.
The battery on the One M8 has been great for me. I always get 4-5h SOT through 1-2days. Keep in mind that I come from Z Ultra and Mi3 that both had 3000+ mah batteries.
My advice is to buy this phone, you will not regret it.

This might actually be the first phone I manage to keep for two years (thus avoiding the inevitable arguement with the wife) hahaha

Here are my problems
1. Camera covers scratch really easily. My main back camera was scratched quite badly, even with a spigen slim armor on all the time. I sent it in for repair and they replaced both the front facing and the back main covers. The back currently is being protected by a 'screen protector'. The coating on the new front cover scratched/came slightly off in about a month and I rubbed the rest away. It remains scratch-free, but (number 2)
2. Dust can get under the speaker grilles and get stuck under front facing camera. Not sure if it is due to the replacement of the covers or what. Just last month, I went to Australia for a military exercise and it was very sandy. I believe it was the sand that went in. With that said, my platoon mate using the same phone did not get even a single speck of dust stuck under his.
I messaged the service centre and they said they would clean it for free under warranty, even with my bootloader unlocked, but the technician would do a diagnostic on my phone. The CSO asked for my IMEI number to check if I was under warranty, which I refused to give. Funny part is, shouldn't all M8s be under warranty since it was released only this year?
With regards to the battery, it is definitely awesome, although mine seem to have been weakened with me abusing it.

Personally I really like it-it's my favorite phone since the HD2. I agree it can be awkward to hold and the camera can be scratched, but for me these problems were easily solved by getting a decent case for it(i.e. not one of the barely covers it slim or dot view style cases, one of the bigger ones that actually protects it. I also put a screen protector on it just to be safe. I've dropped it twice from pocket level and it's fine).
The only thing I've noticed that I think could possibly be better is the battery life. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad per se, but I do feel it could be a little better. Of course, there are power saver apps and whatnot you can do to help with that.
And that's it.
What I like is how customizable it is. The only thing we can't currently do is put W8 on it, but given how wide open this phone is, that may just be a matter of time and interest. Meantime you can pretty much do anything else you want to it, which I love. There's a lot to be said for having the choice to use it however you want to. Can't recommend it enough.

Battery life is pretty good on the m8 especially on gpe a gpe m8 I would rate higher than a nexus device go for the m8 you won't be disappointed

One issue and that's the volume keys, everything else seems perfect to me (fantastic build quality, decent camera, decent battery, easily converted to gpe which is really nice).
Edit: Oh yeah second issue is that the htc keyboard sucks, thankfully that's a non issue because you can easily get better keyboards on the store.

I got the M8! Thanks for you thoughts. Already boot unlocked and Rooted, sadly I'll need sunshine not firewater to s-off when I go there but it's a great phone. Having had a Sensation for the lat 4 years...we've forgotten how fast phones can be! Cheers!

Enough that I'm constantly trying to get something else!
Had the Nexus 5 for almost 11 months and absolutely loved the feel of the phone in hand!
I've been trying to get a hold of a Z3 but all the Canadian ones are only 16gb so it's kind of disappointing. I'll wait for a next generation SD810 phone before I switch again. GPE Lollipop has reduced my enthusiasm to find something else!

Question Galaxy z fold 3 worth it?

Hey this question mostly guess for the people that have had their phone since launch Has it been worth the money? I was wondering how do u like it? and Is the battery as terrible as every YouTuber makes it seem? I just ordered and I'm so excited

Yes it's worth it!
Biggest downer for me is no e-sim.
Battery life is fine.
And most importantly the camera is FAR better than youtube reviewers are saying.
Again in my experience.

I got it a few days before launch day and have loved it every day since. The big screen is totally worth it! I almost never use the outer screen, just occasionally for things like telling the med reminder app I took my med if my phone is already folded, or camera preview so I can take a more quality selfie with the back cameras (phone open), etc. Battery life is good for me. Speed and storage (larger version) are great, screen quality (on natural not vivid) is great, etc. The T-mobile connection issues suck and I hope they are fixed soon, but not all T-mobile customers have the issue (my friend in another state doesn't). But, the temporary fix helps - I just need them to fix it so it can roam so I'm not worried when traveling anywhere. Finding a good case isn't fun, though. I like the one I have now, but I don't think it would protect it very much from a drop/fall.

I've had it since launch..............believe it or not, I use the outer screen more than the inner one. I have taken it on vacation a couple of times. The most recent trip was to Hawaii back in December. Just before we left, I found a case that had a built-in kickstand and actually added more bulk to the phone than I realized..........well, that made the device cumbersome carrying it around on hikes and to the beach. Sometimes, depending on what shorts I was wearing, I would carry the phone in my left hand while walking around Waikiki just so it wouldn't "weigh" me down. I went back to the slimmer case after I got home. Phone has been out since August, and haven't seen anybody else with the same phone. I thought I would on vacation, but trips to busy airports, shopping malls, etc...........didn't see another person with the ZFold. I know it's expensive but you see big iphones everywhere and those aren't cheap either. I do miss the width of my Note-10+ instead of this slimmer one. Was tempted to do the trade-in for the Galaxy S22 Ultra, but will probably wait to see if the ZFold4 is any better and might upgrade to that. Only problem is, the trade-in value of the ZFold3 will drop by then. I hear the next Fold will have the S-pen and a 5000mah battery, not sure if that is enough to upgrade. Currently, you can get $900 trade-in through Samsung, T-Mobile chat person said I can get $1000 through them..............but will probably hold on to mine for now. I don't do any multiple apps tasks, but probably should try to do more to maximize its use and justify why I got it. The 5G on it, for the most part, isn't great. I was getting the 5G UC symbol a couple of weeks ago and not anymore. There was a software update last week and I think it was a T-mobile update to get rid of that symbol, didn't include the Feb security patch. Currently with the Speedtest app, getting 20.9 download, and 6.57 upload. It was way better than that prior to the update.............thanks T-mobile!

I need to shut up, as I picked up my phone today and it jumped out of my hands. I tried to catch it, but couldn't quite get it as it bounced off my fingers and onto the hardwood floor inner screen face-down. I thought it was a goner when I picked it up and the touch sensors were not working on the inner screen (tried to get to the notification I needed to respond to as I took my med), but I turned the screen off and back on again and it was working fine again. Tested most of the diagnostics in the Samsung Members app and everything was fine. Phew!
The front screen side of the case did slide off a bit in the fall, but it didn't break and slid back on when I picked it up. I do use double-sided tape so it doesn't slide every time I open the phone (don't want to scratch the front screen), but it wasn't enough for the fall.

Nice to hear that it didn't break. I think I dropped mine (folded) about a month or two after I got it and nothing happened, case protected it.....seems to be very durable device.

For me personally. Its worthed it. I upgraded from my 1 year old iPhone 12 Pro Max. Now i can freely buy accessories without worrying that it wouldn't work(because not all accessories are MFI certified in Indonesia).
And not to forget that the Z Fold 3 when closed is not that wide, thus making it easier for 1 handed use.

Yes and no chance to change it!!!
I have it since the launch. I have also a Iphone 13 pro. I have tried meanwhile s21 and Pixel 6 and Mi11 Ultra. So now a couple of months of using I can only say: Once Fold and forever Fold. Yes it's heavy and bulky. But Yes is the only one TABLET that is good for one hand operation and phone calls and can you carry in pants pocket. And the camera is not super duper but is top, and the battery (SOC Snapdragon) is far better than any other Exynos on the market and on the planet.

So am I! I'll be paying for this phone for the next 2.5 years, so it needs to stay in one piece for a long time to come. My previous phone I had for 5-6 years, but of all it wasn't a folding phone. A friend of mine dropped his Fold 3 on tile and had to get a new front screen protector, but it otherwise survived the fall.

I actually like the bulk of the phone when closed because it makes it easier to hold and carry without dropping it (when I dropped it, it was open to the inner screen), and I'm saying this as a woman with small hands (medium glove size).

Took a look at the fold3 in an at&t store the other day. Looks like they have the first generation bugs squished. By the time I'm ready to buy a new one, I'll probably get the fold 4 or 5.

Love the phone. Love it so much I have a second as a backup in case this one breaks (truth!). I love the ability to use the front screen one handed. I love having that big inner screen when multitasking or reviewing/editing large documents. The only thing I also wish I had was a zoom/macro lens. It doesn't even have to be a nice one, just a passable one. But I don't take many pictures so I usually let that slide.

I've had mine since October 2021 and it's been one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had with a gadget. The display is amazing, it's fast, camera is decent enough, I love tablet mode, like really, really love it. I definitely can't wait for the next generation of foldables because it's just going to get better. It's definitely worth buying now however, if your still having doubts.

I bought the Oppo Find N (foldable) as my backup. It's actually a really awesome phone, with features and design choices that I find better than my Z Fold 3. One thing is it's size, it's fantastic, definitely the better choice on Oppo's side to choose such a wide design. It's even better when you use it in tablet mode as it's aspect ratio is 16:9, which means more apps support it better.

for me i like having the 2 phone factor one big one small, so I am never really bored looking and using it. I find when I am home and chilled i use the big screen more but when i am out and about the small screen, If only they can cut away some of the weight it would be perfect.

It’s just an incredible experience. I have been a loyal Note fan since the first Note, but after owning the Fold 3 I can safely tell you that I won’t go back to a slab phone, even to a Note

I've had a z Fold 3 since the 1st month it came out. Great phone but I ended up pre-ordering the S22 Ultra just to test the waters. Been a note fan since the early days. Just received the S22 ultra this week and it's also a great phone. The integrated s pen and bigger battery has definitely tipped the scales in favor of the S22 ultra so I'll be returning the Fold. I will miss that huge screen though!

Had the phone since february, dropped it once and although the front body dented a little bit, the phone is still working well. Been using the bigger screen for media and the smaller screen for calls and short messages. IDK why some doesn't have e-sim but mine does.

I've had the Fold 3 for around a month now, as I had to replace my Note 9 N960N. I can honestly say that it is the best purchase I have made this year. It is such a good device, I can use it for everything from gaming to media consumption for work. It is truly a very versatile device.
The fact that you can use it as a normal phone and open it up to a tablet for a more completely experience blows my mind every time I use it.
