Any HTC Mogul owners out there still? (KK's LOADED ROM has free Sprint Navigation.)

[misterp0315]

I have a surprise for you.

 

[kicktionair]

please?

 

[angeezy]

here. ugh.

 

[misterp0315]

Well...

I have 2 SERO lines. I got one Touch Pro through a hook up for $200. Ever since I got the TP, I have completely abandoned my other line.

I was looking for some programs on another website and word has it that Sprint has no more Moguls and is replacing them with TPs...for free of course if youhave insurance.

I followed this link...http://www.nextel.com/en/...f_service_solutions.shtml

Said that the keyboard is unresponsive, which it is, and that there is a white spot on my screen, which there is...and received this confirmation email.

I was about to say...

FREE Touch Pro...?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[angeezy]

Googled about it and many people are getting the TP in replacement as well..

I'm afraid to rely on another HTC.. the Mogul's battery life is horrible.

 

[phouvieng]

Tried this a while back and got another Mogul sent back,

. May have tolook into trying again.

Anyways, how do you like your Touch Pro? I'm mildly obsessed with my Mogul and it gets heavy usage. Was always intrigued by the Touch Pro, but never feltthe need to "fix" something that wasn't broken. Any features they left out that were in the Mogul? I really make the most possible use of myMogul and wouldn't want to lose anything by switching over.

 

[kicktionair]

So you are saying they will replace my HTC if reported stolen which will happen tomorrow

and give me a Touch PRO instead of a MOGUL??

 

[misterp0315]

Anything my Mogul was capable of doing, the TP can do it and better.

The main issue with the Mogul was the memory leakage and abrupt closing of programs.

I can be listening to music, browsing, and texting/IMing all at once without any skips or lag...and definitely no program closing. That was my main issue withthe Mogul.

The ONLY thing I miss with the Mogul is the d-pad.

 

[nt og]

omg! thanks!

TEP FTW!!

 

[misterp0315]

If it's "stolen", they would charge you 50. I wouldn't want to do it that method because they may call your bluff and try to find you a Mogulfloating around somewhere. I would just be very critical of the Mogul that you have in the defect description and see what happens. It's already apparentthat they are replacing all Moguls with TPs using that link. I would be weary of going to a Sprint store and claiming it stolen or defective because people atthe store can be stingy bastards.

Luckily, some of my buttons stick or are unresponsive and I could have sworn that the white spots show up on ALL Moguls.

Sold. No D-Pad though? That's a let down, I almost can't even imagine the phone without it. Are all programs from the Mogul compatible with the Touch?Mostly concerned with Garmin GPS and WMWIFIrouter.

 

[misterp0315]

Well...there is a d-pad...but it's just not as simple as the Mogul. Instead of providing a d-pad with clear directions, they decided to be "cute"about it and make it all smooth.

WMWifirouter works. It was build on a ROM that I'm using. I imagine Garmin works as well. I haven't heard of any compatibility issues. Could just rollwith Live Search or Google Maps which now has Google Street View...

I swear...I want to see if WMWifirouter works with EVDO and XBox Live.

 

[solewoman]

i just got a replacement though...will that matter? my mogul keyboard does suck though...th i o u keys never type.

i had to pay 50 for my replacement. will i have to pay for this one?

also is the mogul storage card compatible with the pro?

 

[misterp0315]

Follow the link and try to put in your info and ESN number...see if it works. Let me know...

 

[phouvieng]

I use a pretty specific map for Garmin for when I'm out on the boat; But yeah, I can't imagine there being any compatibility issues. Oddly enough, evenwith Garmin installed, I only use Google Maps for directions. As for WMWifiRouter and xBox, while I haven't done it myself, I've heard of many peopleusing this set up.

 

[solewoman]

shucks it says...my phone hasnt been active for 30 days because of the replacement. i will try again next week.

 

[misterp0315]

I would try again once the 30 days is up. And yes...they both use Micro SD. I kinda want a Diamond since I have a TP. Hmmm...

Would a local Sprint store honor an exchange?

 

[phouvieng]

^ How about that Touch HD, that screen is something serious.

- What was your last replacement for? Lost, stolen, or broken? Curious because of the $50 fee.
- If you tell them the keyboard is broken or just some BS that they can't troubleshoot, you usually will not have to pay. I've had two difference caseswhere my keyboard was acting up, there is a .CAB file that corrects one problem. My current Mogul was having keyboard issues in the beginning as well, but overtime, for whatever reason, the problem fixed itself.
- Yes, TP also uses MicroSD

 

[assistantsupervisor81]

man sprint customer service is so bogus. I called so many times complaining about that phone and they just kept saying I can exchange it for another mogul andwanted to charge me 50 dollars even though I had insurance. Got it exchanged twice and same problems. They wouldn't even let me downgrade the phone I hadto pay full price for another one since at the time I wasn't with them for a year yet. I HATE THE MOGUL!!!!!!

 

[posite fiend]

wow im bout to try this right now, if it works OP...GOOD LOOKS!! i have been buggin my boy to get me a touch pro "under the table" for a few weeksnow, cuz i damn sure aint tryna shell out that 500 bucks. ill tell you what happens!!

im gonna say my damn phone freezes all the time and my keyboard BLOWS!! (it really does) and i also have a small white spot on my screen. are all the apps thatwere downloadable for the mogul downloadable for the TP?

i.e pocket nester...

 

[blackredxiiigoat]

Alright so...

I did this on Monday at about noon(found out about it through slickdeals)...Signed up for the phone replacement and all that...

and YESTERDAY at about 6 pm the deilvery guy shows up at my door with new Touch Pro...I was speechless...

They took just over 24 hours to get a brand new touch pro shipped to me at home...and it was free....This was definitely one of my better comeoffs... (Awesomedeal to begin with, but the fact that I pay $7 a month for insurance made it free, instead of having to pay the $55 for the upgrade)

Im messin around the phone right now...Youtube app is very nice...

 

[posite fiend]

the damn self service repair page wont load on my work comp AHHHHHH

you think if i go to a repair center they will give me a TP?
