I don't think so. Though I am experiencing and seeing a lot of mixed results for myself and other users.
Considering that this phone seems to need quite a lot of tweaking in order to make it work reasonably, who other than XDA geeks would want to be bothered with it.
Personally I love the phone, mine AT&T Tilt 2.
Yet as a user I am constantly annoyed with issues regarding default browsers, both Opera 9.5 and IE 6 are very slow loading AT&T's default home page. Issues with these browsers rendering AT&T Yahoo Email in a format other than WAP viewing, which renders in text only format, making HTML email useless.
I am a geek just like most of us. I can and have found some work around for a lot of things.
Still, I bought this phone to use it, not to F... with it.
I am having a very hard time finding a decent case for it, seems that case makers have no interest in producing cases for it.
Maybe the hate AT&T culture is catching up to it.
Why? Because of iPhone?
Sorry for venting so loud, I am just fed up.

I have noticed some hang ups. I think if you have a scheduled reset for every other night it will help. I mean this is a computer, how many of us run a computer all day everyday without restart?
Opera 10 beta is out and there are a lot of little tweaks that can really help with performance. If you wanted a phone for the purpose of having a phone there are plenty of others out there that will do the job just as well, if not better.
I think they should change the name of the at&t store to the at&t~Iphone store. Heck, if you go to the kiosk, it even says "to buy an iphone, press here".
You can't go 5 feet inside one of those stores without seeing something related to the iPhone.
At&t sold its soul for the iPhone, and like Motorola did with the Razr, they stopped innovating.
^^ so true i knew a few people that used to work for att they got more of a commision if they sold an iphone compared to another branded phone
I love my Tilt 2. It does require a lot of tweaking to make it really hum, but once that's out of the way, it is a really great phone. You'd never know it from walking into an AT&T store - the ones I've been in have it buried in the back.
I think the Seidio spring-clip holster is a good case. Seidio makes high-quality stuff and the face-in design keeps the screen protected.
As for the slow browsing speeds, did you do the data speed fix? It makes a huge difference.
Don't get me wrong on this.
I believe that the Tilt 2 is a great computer/pda/phone in one package. In that order.
What I am trying to get at is other than we XDA geeks who might want to flash roms etc, who would have the patience or even know what to do.
I have looked at many posts regarding TP2 and Tilt 2.
This and other Rhodium variations should be easy to use by the average user.
Otherwise they will fail.
I work every day in an IT/Telecom environment for many years.
Most of the time when I speak to users that they are needing to make changes to their browser settings because an update to Internet Explorer has disabled a particular function, or whatever causes their eyes to glaze over due to non-comprehension of what I am talking about.
With a phone, why does it have to be so hard for it to work reasonably well without any intervention of common users.
That is where currently WinMo phones get into trouble in the market place.
They work great for geeks who have the time patience to tweak them.
Personally, I would rather be doing something else than making tweaking my phone another part of my career.
This is more than likely not to be the forum to be posting to as, the original poster is likely to be flamed by more senior posters.
Kind of cranky being a WinMo user before they became phones and called a junior member.

Mainstream vendors of accessories such as cases have no intention of producing cases for Tilt 2. Seidio No. Body Glove No.

Who are you complaining to here? Yourself? It's not really clear.
The iPhone and Tilt 2 are targeted at different market segments. The iPhone is a consumer device - it's a prettied-up dumbphone with a unique user experience that gets the benefit of AT&T pushing it over all other devices and prioritizing network traffic for it over all other devices.
The Tilt 2 is targeted at the business segment. It's unfortunate that AT&T "cripples" some functionality out of the box but, even fully featured, it's never going to sell in iPhone-like numbers. It's largely a phone for a power user.
And there are cases for the Touch Pro 2 / Tilt 2: http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/3775.htm
It should be pretty clear what I am complaining about. It is that the phone is set up in a way which makes a difficult user experience.
I work with business users daily as an IT consultant.
Most of the every day users have no interest in tweaking anything.
Who I am complaining to is pretty much up to who responds, in what way.
I have researched many topics in this fora about cases, and have found very few vendors who are offering cases for the Tilt 2.
Thank you for flaming in a reasonably respectful way.
I can't speak for the Tilt2 since I don't have it. But I do have an unlocked European Touch Pro2. The out-of-the-box experience was quite nice for me. The stock WinMo 6.1 ROM performance was excellent. It was possible to handle most tasks within the HTC Sense environment, such that noobs often don't need to go into the WinMo interface. So perhaps it's AT&T who messed up your device?
A lot of the bugs are introduced because ppl want the latest WinMo build or they want the latest version of Sense. So it's good that we at least have an option to do so.
Btw, I didn't think dwboston's post was flaming. Let's try to keep things nice. If you were offended, I'll apologize on his behalf
Often in telecom, if there is a circuit in question we will disconnect the circuit to see who itches or *****es.
Think a nerve was struck back there.
Are these devices produced only to stoke the ego of those who would say, "See what I can do with mine, can you do this?"
In order for any WinMo device to succeed it should be extremely functional, which it is, and reasonably easy for the average user to like.
Which it isn't.

Yup, this is currently the nature of WinMo. It's has the most functionality of all smartphone platforms. Yet, it's ugly and fairly unstable.
We're all looking forward to WinMo 7 to address this.

My computer running Windows 7 has been up for 23 days no problem. The only reason it was restarted is because I moved it. Otherwise, it only gets restarted when there is a Windows Update the requires a restart. I have gone over 2 months without a restart before.
But that is no comparison. Windows Mobile is buggy and unstable. Everyone should recognize that. I have been using it for 6 years and never have I had a device that didn't need restarts unless I am using it for the most extremely basic tasks (messaging, calling).
Windows Mobile 7 better fix this and everything else with Windows Mobile or I'm jumping ship to Android.

Truer words have never been spoken...
I'm still on Windows XP at home, and I never shut down or reboot unless it's a software/update installation requires it. When I sleep or leave, I put it on standby.
With WinMo, I have a software that automatically schedules daily soft-resets for me. The TP2 is actually better than other WinMo devices I've used in that it can actually survive about 3 or 4 days until it slows to a crawl. But I'd rather have it freshly booted waiting for me every morning.

Are you talking about basic computing (web browsing, email, music) or cpu/memory intensive applications?
Try running photoshop day in day out without restarting and you start to experience little hang ups etc. Our phone is basically processing at 50%+ at all times, try throwing that at your CPU and seeing how long it can stay on for.
Seriously now, I understand we can literally leave our computers on for days, but having it actually use 50% memory and 50% cpu at all times is different than letting it sit idle and using 5% or less for web browsing etc.

The reality is, WinMo is a crappy OS. There's no debating that. What load a processor sees should have little/nothing to do with the STABILITY of an OS. Many servers that see very high loads often aren't rebooted for months or years. I think winmo/crappy drivers/crappy software on top of winmo are like the culprit. It's everything.
I've not used Android phones too much, but things certainly seem to "just work" better (I'm a linux fan personally). There's little question that winmo is getting left in the dust by android, and personally winmo 7 may be too little too late. I have a touch pro now, and am looking to switch to the tilt 2.. It has crossed my mind about getting an iphone, but the damn thing is too "locked down" for my taste..

Sweet, thanks! Now if I'd only realized before I asked that this would be specific to the AT&T model, duh!

I am in a bit of a pickle here and I figured that I would ask the most active and helpful forum community that I have ever came across and I hope that I am not bashed for doing so considering this really has nothing to do with the EVO.
I recently received a notification from my ISP about downloading copyrighted materials and was threatened that my interned may be shutoff if I do not stop downloading copyrighted materials. The thought of my service being shut off is a bit scary considering there is no other ISP in my area.
To make a long story short, I looked into the best possible solutions for avoiding getting caught and hiding my IP and it seems like either a VPN or a seedbox is necessary. My question is does anybody in this great community have any recommendations for a VPN or seedbox to use that you currently use or have used in the past and not had any problems with threats from your ISP?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you
I use utorrents built in ipfilter.dat to block known monitoring IP's
http://blocklistpro.com/download-center/ip-filters/
first go to Run and paste this %AppData%\uTorrent this will open up the folder where you put the ipfilter.dat file. then download the pipfilter.dat file extract it and paste the dat file in the folder you opened up earlier close utorrent and reopen it and your set on the logger tab you will see that it's loaded the file and how many entries its blocking.
I'm going to have to try that out. I've heard that the list never stays up to date with the most current known tracking ip's as they are always changing so the method becomes ineffective. Any problems so far for you?

With my Galaxy S, I never experienced any "junk" notifications. With the Galaxy Nexus, I get about three per week. I've owned the phone less than a month. Is it a coincidence?
The notification bar has indicated the following:
- a green plus sign. When the notification bar is pulled down I see an image for "Win an iPod 2!" (does the plus sign mean they are hacking my Google+ account? I there is no notification when I go to Google+ on the PC)
- a star. The notification says "Battery Notice - touch here to increase battery life 200%"
Both scams obviously but I certainly don't want junk notifications on my phone. Any ideas how to stop them?
Find out where the spam is at and deal with it.
I would guess its Google Plus or Gmail.
Yes, it is a coincidence. Some app on your phone is using AirPush or a similar ad network to show these crappy notifications. Try downloading AirPush Detector from the Market to see which one it is.
Do you have an mp3 downloader app? Someone had the same issue a few weeks ago and that was the offender.

Despite being on this board every day since getting my Nexus (and reading the FAQ) I hadn't heard of AirPush. And again, this wasn't a problem for me three weeks ago with the Galaxy S so I thought it might be malware targeting ICS.

Ah... no. I didn't think it was the phone. I thought it might have been some hacker targeting ICS.
I'm pretty selective with downloading apps, I have about half a dozen, only ones with high ratings. Mostly the same ones I had on the Galaxy S. Just shows diligence can't be overstated.
Keep in mind that when any app can access the notification tray(on all versions of android), any app can use it for advertisement as well. It is no "hack" they simply create a notification or service that exposes this to you.

Okay, maybe I was a little harsh but it gets very tiring seeing, "Oh my previous phone didn't have x-problem." If people's previous phones never had the problems then maybe they should go back, ya know? So, I'm sorry if what I said was a little more...aggressive but you mentioning how you never had the problem before just set off how I have been feeling.
Quick tip for new Android users: Only install apps directly from the Google Android Market and don't install anything with less than 100.000 installations.
You will avoid most of the malware/bad apps this way (and a couple of good ones too - but you can come back for those later when you have more experience with Android).
Why would any hacker target ICS? The install base is so low that it makes no sense.

This is the first phone I have owned that has made me deal with annoying ads.
1. The ads come up in the locked screen, which is set to a clock. Just a blue screen or my photo of choice- either.
There is actually a clock, and then some total rubbish below it. The most annoying are some idiotic religious ads offering like 3 prayers a day. Sorry, I don't do religion, and i obviously never browse for anything that has anything to do with any religion.
What is this? Where does it come from? How to get rid of it?
2. Being new to Android and in total despise of iOS.... Not much choice- no more good windows phones offered. Obviously this app-based mentality is not really intelligent. Why do we need dozens of stupid little buttons/ icons instead of a normal browser????? I know where to find the source of ads and block them within windows or linux, but these apps... go figure which one of these happy buttons for little children is associated with a particular ad-infested 'app' (or all of them?).
3. Here are some names/ descriptions: some prayers rubbish, no logical names attached, really.
Relay Utah (what???? I don't even live in UT) what is it?
something with cartoons and lolly-pop looking things (am i 5 years old?)
4. called verizon multiple times, and after 30-40 minutes of listening some mumbling couldn't get an answer at all. they don't even know a product they offer! Someone in tech support just keeps browsing for my problem. which I can do just as well. No answers either.
5. verizon connected me to google support. Besides thick accent and really bad, incoherent English, nothing else. Keeps repeating 'this is the way apps work'. Yeah. you can imagine off-shore 'tech support'. Makes my blood boil.
all right, i guess that would be enough.
Any suggestions?

Don't take offense to this question. How old are you? I am asking because that would determine the answers you get and let us know how familiar you are with browsing the internet on devices. Can you take a screenshot? Have you rooted or otherwise modified the device in any way? It is most likely if not definitely something that you downloaded that is now causing this to occur.
Did you download a lockscreen app from somewhere? I'm not familiar with whatever crapware Verizon might put on their phones but the type of adds you are seeing don't sound like anything a carrier would be pushing. You can also download Malwarebytes from the Play Store. Presumably you are familiar with the program on Windows. Do a scan and see if it turns up anything suspicious. You almost certainly downloaded and installed an app that is causing what you are describing.
Just uninstall any weird app you might have installed
I understand that you're frustrated, but please do not join a community and start bashing the very foundation of said community: Android. I've never had an ad problem with Android. It's very clear that either you or Verizon have installed something silly that displays ads on your lockscreen. I'm betting it's the former. I bought a Verizon Pixel XL and for several days I left it completely stock while trying to figure out how to get Project Fi to work (I'm not a Verizon customer) and not once did I have any problems with ads. I browsed the internet, used Facebook, etc. No problems. I would take some time and uninstall any lockscreen apps or customization apps you've installed. If one of the Verizon apps is displaying ads, this is the first time I'm hearing of it.
As for the "App-based Mentality" I'm not really sure what you're getting at. On a Windows machine or a Windows phone, each app / program has it's own shortcut, does it not? If I want to launch Microsoft Word and then launch the internet browser, do I not have to click on two separate icons? How is that any different from Android? Or iOS for that matter. Android is what you make of it. You're not stuck with all the icons on a homescreen like you are with iOS. They reside in your app drawer anyways. You can make your homescreen as clean or as messy as you want. That's the beauty of it.
Hope this helps.
It's not Verizon, I have them as my carrier. I doubt this is a legitimate post, he joined, ranted, left and hasn't been on since. This should be ignored for what it obviously is.

And from day 1 i get pop up adds. When I'm texting, browsing the Internet. It just goes to a add, or it will be the balloon hang down add. And no I'm not a "Troll"

These ads have nothing to do with your phones. It's bloatware installed by the carrier , or by you installing some app from the app store or third party source. Guarantee if you flash back to stock non carrier branded Pixel firmware they would be gone. Or just freeze/uninstall whatever app you downloaded that causes it.
