/me does happy new-rom soon dance

[knytphal]

I saw that last night and nearly had a stroke! The screen that they have is beautiful, isn't it? :D

Here's to hoping that it doesn't have the same issues as the last point-16 release....

[kulnet]

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. :tu:

[treefrog]

Can't wait until 6pm EST. GPS that works with GOOGLE MAPS is included. YAY!

it should be up around 5 cst per kmartburitto at xda or ppcgeeks, it will be hosted all over, the installer is pretty buggy, so as usual its use at your own risk...

right off the bat the first thing ive noticed is that the HTC task manager is now standard...and it also resets your settings so make sure u have ure msl and msid

I'm assuming you already have it installed, does GPS actually work?

Oh yeah, and once the MSL and MSID is reset, how do you go about re-inputting it?

Seems like nobody believes him. I dont . He installed the rom to his phone but couldn't upload it for everyone else? And his thread was closed. Ill believe it when I see it. P.S. I didn't know they could swear over there. I took a screenshot :).

[BALDheadedGRL]

still workn on gettn things back to par

[BALDheadedGRL]

its for real, just wait until 5 cst... and you will all be *****n and moanin cause the servers are slow and your updates arent taking...

remember this is just a test version...

I'll wait for the non-test version, but its promising, that's for sure. Oddly enough, the same frenzy is currently consuming the ipod touch forum over the jailbroken 1.1.3 iPhone image... I'm waiting for a cleaner ipod touch there, too ;)

When you get older, its easier to wait.

[sanjsrik]

Waiting is easy. It's the anticipation that kills.

[GreenDayPunk74]

I dont know why he couldnt have posted it on rapidshare. Making us wait like that :(

[Paul Moreau]

I already got it and yes, it's real and Rev A and GPS works!

Could someone help us newbies with the step by step to install this.
That would be very helpful.
Thanks.:thought:

[Cheatachu72]

man oh man oh man, downloading now, but not sure if i want to install the untested software until i hear some reviews....

[sanjsrik]

I "tried" to download it. Gave up after Rapidshare just sat and stared back at me. I hit back and was told I had exceeded my download limit.

I don't like rapidshare.

Oh, well, guess I can wait a few days. I don't want to be a guinea pig any way.

After you download the ROM, extract it and rename the .ex extension to .exe
Connect your Mogul to the PC and establish an active sync connection (provided you have active sync installed, if not a simple google search should prove useful)
Simply click on the .exe file and follow the on-screen prompts.

I'm currently 92% done, yay! :wavey:

Remember installing new ROMS will delete all information from the device, restoring it to the factory state; I recommend backing up contacts, etc. through active sync.

one guy said it gave him an error at 90% of the flash at ppc-geeks

I am now 100% done, haven't played around with it yet, but everything is functioning normally! :hee:

[Cheatachu72]

woot!

took the plunge and installed it....running the sprint customizations now!

when it boots up the HTC Mobility Screen reads:

Test Only
Not For Sale

[blackrain]

everybody who has this installed please let me know how this thing works i dont want to brick my phone or anything like that. Also does this thing really open up the rev.a & gps also is there any other improvements that were made or any changes.....Please let me know i'm dying over here with curiosity:ohcrap:

[JSarella]

do we need to do anythign special to get this installed or just install it like a regular update?

[Rguy]

Installing now. We shall see how it does...

[BrettW]

hmm, im interested to see the results as well.

[Miniwhip]

Waiting (im)patiently for some opinions. I just bought Tomtom 6.

[Rguy]

LOl, it has a really nifty built in X button feature. even tells me how much memory is being used...


Still lookin around though for bugs..

[treefrog]

Ok, I have google maps installed, and it says GPS active and bounces between "GPS active (4)," (5), (6), and then back to "GPS active (5)" or (4). Does anyone else experience this?

[Rguy]

Working good so far.

If you have the time, i would install this to play around with. At least until someone finds a big bug or whatnot.

[Miniwhip]

So what does everyone think about an ACTUAL release? Will it still happen Monday?

[ersocia]

so if this isn't an official release, where'd it come from?

in any case, I never got to upgrade to even 2.17. since I recieved my Mogul I've still been using the stock 2.09 because it seemed pointless to upgrade to 2.17 and then have to do it again soon after, considering I just got my phone less than a month ago.

I may just wait for the official release though, unless it's still a bit off and nobody finds any bugs in this "un"official release...

[treefrog]

The ROM also seems to have increased my signal considerably. Instead of an average or 2-3 bars, I now have 4 bars inside my home. WIFI also seems to have longer range; I'm picking up networks that remained "hidden" before.

[Miniwhip]

OK, someone tell me something that's wrong with this rom, quickly please. I've got my hand on the trigger!

[Matt]

Nothing is wrong with it. It's the most amazing thing EVER. Mogul users can now tell where they are! GPS rules!

[JSarella]

does this thing work on vista? i tried htis on vista and it just goes to teh tri colored screen and says TITA1000, SPL-1.07.0000, CPLD-9
and it restarts a few times, and says USB, nothign happens on the mogul or on the comp. and it just says that it didnt work because my ppc wasnt connected, anyone else experiencing this?

[Miniwhip]

Darn! I thought i was going to go somewhere tonight!

[blackrain]

quick ? for the brave souls who have done this is there any other add ons included with this rom update someone please tell me:ohcrap:

[intlschizo]

Wheeeeeee! Can't wait to install this. I was so tempted to jump on the Touch bandwagon...sooooo glad I stuck with my trusty Mogul.

Quick Question, On my mogul, I am using the original rom 2.09. Can I update to the GPS/REV A rom or will I first need to update to the 2.16 rom BEFORE it will allow me to update to the GPS rom?

If I do update to the NEW GPS rom, will I miss anything from the previous rom?

Thanks.

[kdude90]

Well, I suppose it can't hurt to give this a try- i'll install it when I get home and throw in my .02 cents in a couple of days.

Roms are always a full wipe - they are not additive. Just install whichever ROM you wish.

[schettj]

I believe that is telling you how may satellites the GPS is seeing at the current moment. I don't have the rom installed, but perhaps there is a setting that can disable that display - sounds like either a debugging or (lets hope optional) status display.

[w7excursion]

Same here.

[Storino03]

so is this just gps and there's no rev a functionality at all?

--James

[Cheatachu72]

Same here.

for the record i took the plunge....

it is running right now, the flash took a long time and seemed to 'hang' like others are reporting...i walked out of the room and just let it do it's thing and didnt worry about it.

couple of things i have noticed:
1) in the dialer there is the envelope/speaker on the 1 button
2) the battery gauge is default in the today screen
3) x-button comes already installed
4) seems snappy...but who knows :)
5) havent done the audiopara.csv hack yet, but the volume seems improved (ie. i can hear people)

dont know about roaming/bluetooth issues yet.

Same thing happened to me, downloaded 2.17 and kept getting "error 328: invalid command". Tried it on my laptop with Win XP and it installed normally.

[schettj]

I guess we'd need to know rev A had been rolled out in our area to know if its working ;)

I've gotta wait. It takes a couple hours to bring myself back to fully re-installed/restored, and I really don't want to do that AGAIN in a week or a few days or even five whole weeks, whenever the actual release happens. Phone's working well, don't wanna mess with it right now. Still, yay - looks like we get an update sooner or later.

It seems to nuke the radio flash memory where settings are kept (like your phone number and msid and PRL) - can anyone who'd changed their SCI or codec confirm those are reset to default of 2 and the digital codec?

[treefrog]

so is this just gps and there's no rev a functionality at all?

--James

Considering that before this update I would average 900/100-200 and now I experience 1.4-2.3/500-570; it seems Rev A is in fact included. :hee:

why does my version say test only not for resale?

[treefrog]

why does my version say test only not for resale?

This is because this ROM is a test version; it has not yet been officially released.

[schettj]

There you go - nice.

[Miniwhip]

IT WORKS!!

Google maps works!
Phone sounds fine, maybe a touch louder.
GPS works with TomTom. (you have to set it other nmea com4, and leave google maps running, but minimized)
I haven't tested download speeds yet, what's a good site to check it?

Now to reload everything :headbang2

[knytphal]

Hehe....wonder who's gonna get fired from Sprint for releasing this?

I can't wait to get back home to get this installed! :D

[OHMYGOSHNESS]

Same here.

I have it and it is awesome.

I have sprint navigation and it works amazing. I took a 40 mile trip to make sure... internet is tons faster.
my two cents. this is the official thing that they will be putting out minus the open memo this is not for sale screen and a few install bugs but that didn't happen to me on my phone or my wifes phone worked perfect on first try.

it is worth it. sweet

[intlschizo]

What's this thing about needing a "bootloader"? What is it and where do I get one?

[JSarella]

What's this thing about needing a "bootloader"? What is it and where do I get one?

to access the bootloader on your phone hold the power button and the camera button at the same time and press the soft reset button, and it should go into the bootloader screen.

[intlschizo]

Ahhhh, okay! The last time I ran an update, I ran it from my PC. Can I still do that, or do I need to go to the bootloader screen and run it from my Mogul?

[poorlyduck]

Hehe....wonder who's gonna get fired from Sprint for releasing this?

I can't wait to get back home to get this installed! :D

I think this was leaked in purpose for people to test and not blame HTC or sprint, in case of problems, because they did not officially release it and installing it will be in your own risk. just my 2¢

[JSarella]

Ahhhh, okay! The last time I ran an update, I ran it from my PC. Can I still do that, or do I need to go to the bootloader screen and run it from my Mogul?

if you have xp you can just use that file through your pc, if you have vista u have to do some other stuff which i have yet to figure out, as i don't readily have xp on any of my systems:mad:

[knytphal]

That's a possibility. I do think that they need to come up with some kind of plan to let those of us that would like to beta test these kinds of things be able to do so. I know that I would sign up.

[goat03]

Just installed everything seems to be running fine. I did have to restart a few times before my Vision came back. Internet does seem alot faster. Pages pop right up.

[BrettW]

gah you all are making me drool so bad. cant wait for my mogul to arrive (again lol) i decided i want wifi a keyboard and gps on a touchscreen device!

[kdude90]

F**k!!!! My phone's stuck in the bootloader (multicolored screen of death) and now I cant even reload 2.17 because the RUU thinks I'm using a different device!! Maybe it has something 2 do w/using Vista (all my other updates were done under XP & worked successfully..)

[kdude90]

Well, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again- after retrying 5 times, it finally worked! :-) now, let's give this thing a shot!

[BrettW]

all i know is thanks to remlle mine is coming pre updated i just want it to arrive so i can play with it :-) and now that i got my days re-aligned were shipping tomorrow so i should get it on tuesday

[ink718]

Am going to test this babie out on my brother Mogul, lol. He doesnt have anything installed so wont loose anything. I will give try give a good review of the ROM update using the GPS capabilities and speeds and what not. Waiting til he gets home...

[SxualChkL8]

I have read all the post about having trouble installing this rom and I didn't have those problems. Here is what I did.
1) I hard reset my Mogul before I started.
2) I ran the exe from my pc (Windows XP)
3) I am enjoying free GPS with Google Maps.

[intlschizo]

Has anybody made this hack work WITH VISTA? So far, all I get is a multicolored screen that doesn't do jack.

*edit* treefrog's advice worked perfectly:

After you download the ROM, extract it and rename the .ex extension to .exe (emphasis mine)
Connect your Mogul to the PC and establish an active sync connection (provided you have active sync installed, if not a simple google search should prove useful)
Simply click on the .exe file and follow the on-screen prompts.

Thank goodness - no bootloaders, no soft reset or anything else. Here goes...

*holding my breath*

[kdude90]

Nothing like reinstalling all of my apps! Anyways, I'm hosting this on my website since it generates practically no traffic anyways. If you don't feel like using rapidshare with their stupid download tickets, here's the info:

hiya dude, umm did you install the new update with vista? i have vista ultimate, and i cant seem to get this damn thing installed, any tips>?


I'm using Vista Home Premium, and here's what I did

~rename the .ex file to .exe
~right-click the file and go to Properties>Compatibility and make sure "Run this program as an administrator" is checked
~run the program as usual
~if the gets stuck on the bootloader (multicolored screen) and/or the RUU program crashes, unplug the usb cable & remove the battery. After that, reinsert the battery and start the RUU program again (it doesn't matter if the phone's still stuck in bootloader)
~do a hard reset (hold the left & right softkeys while using the stylus to press the reset button and follow the prompts) and then start over
~keep trying! it took me 5 tries before it worked for me!

[intlschizo]

OKay, kdude, we Piss-ta users will give your advice a try. :)

Please tell me what settings/tweaks you have. I installed it but cant get it to work with Google maps. Also has anyone got this to work with TomTom on their Mogul?

[JSarella]

i've got good news for you vista users out there, i just did all the stuff that was mentioned over at ppcgeeks, nothing worked, so i uninstalled all of those drivers, rebooted, and reinstalled the mobile device center, then during installed when it stalled i pulled out te battery a few times(twice i believe) and it did install, but at 11% it stopped, and hte ppc rebooted itself twice i think and then the installation went ahead.

This thing comes with Sprint Nav so GPS should work, and that GMAIL java app works now :clap:

[acizurqpid]

i cant seem to get google maps to work, it stay on seeking satelite (0) or loading forever. do you guys have it set on manual or default?

[klmsu19]

the q9c is the same way you have to go outside. This isnt a high quality sensitive SIRF III chip like in a bluetooth receiver that will work inside. Youre only talking the gps capabilities in the phone's chipset. It's more susceptible to blockages like bad weather, clouds, being indoors, etc.

[JSMZ]

This ROM is complete garbage. Yeah big whoop the GPS works, but PIE acts funny and pages dont like to load and all kinds of other crap....... The problems with it are so blatantly obvious within just a couple minutes I cant believe this is even worthy of being called a " test ROM ".

Im unlocking this thing in the morning and going back to 2.17 with 1.40 radio until a final comes out .... hopefully they get this mess figured out before then. :huh:

[dallas contract]

After the download will the msid and msl have to be put back in? Or will in say in like a regular rom update. I am using xp so no problem with the vista.
I know my msid number but not msl.

I have searched but it is still unclear.

[BrettW]

and the answer remains that, its a 50/50 chance if you will need to re-enter such information.

[dallas contract]

Thanks for reply will have to think about how to get number. Been searching all around.

[drifter75]

I can't wait until I get home to download this!!

[jeffrc]

yeah im gonna hold off till this goes official, i dont have the patience to deal with another ****ty rom update, ill just cross my fingers that once they release it itll be 100%

[intlschizo]

I couldn't make it work, either. I'll have to wait for the real ROM to come out. I'm not risking bricking my phone over this.

[dallas contract]

I downloaded this morning and it is finally the phone it is suppose to be Rev A, and Nav. Whom ever leaked the file thanks did not want to wait till march. A post about this rom had a note that Sprint would move Official Rom till March

[Miniwhip]

Is anyone having issues with PIE? I can't go to a lot of sites with it. I called Sprint, and had them reset my Vision (and now I have my MSL mwah hah hah...). I had to download Opera Mini manually, which works fine. I hope the official release isn't pushed back to March, I want the real rom!

[ameetn]

I'm having similar issues to (with PIE). Did reseting Sprint vision through Sprint CS fix the problem? Is there a self service way to do that?

On a related note, how are other people detecting that they are using rev-A or not? Is it using a speed test like http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1 ? If so, I've upgrade the ROM but it my speed is still < 500 kbps. Perhaps Sprint hasn't enabled rev-A in my area?

[saketkutta]

one gps question
is there any way to have voice navigation who doesnt need maps and will download them realtime
i heard abt nav4all but it is not connecting to gps
it can be any one commercial or free but it should download maps and voices on the fly and not be saved in mem cards

edit:nav4all seems to work if google maps is running in background

[whippintegra]

Does anyone know when the real deal is supposed to be released? :1zhelp:

[sdotjerz]

I finally updated my phone, I went from 2.08 to 3.16 i know some of you are most irate (over dramatic n complain over everything) but the roms good, ain't nothing so major that its ruining my experience I recommend it till the officil comes out

[Morachy]

hey all - just installed the beta rom. I had no issues what so ever. I just ran the exe and 10 minutes later I had gps.

I haven't noticed a REV A difference. I live close to Minneapolis and I'm not sure if we have been upgraded yet - and we have maybe it's a indoor coverage issue. I'll post if I feel my opinion has changed.

I feel that the device is a bit quicker. I reinstalled most of my apps and I think i'm seeing a slight speed increase. I like the new drop down/memory thing. I can kills apps without having to go to the memory section.

The other thing thats cool, which I haven't seen anyone mention this, is that Sprint included Nav Software.. which is kind of kool because it does the whole turn by turn direction thing. Not sure how well it works - I will try it later today.. but it did accurately find my location form inside the house when I used it.

Thats all I got. Good job Sprint and HTC!

[BrettW]

http://www.sprint.com/business/products/products/evdoCoverage.jsp heres a page that has a list of all the rev.a covered cities.

scroll down to see the list of cities, the zip code option didnt seem to work for me it redirected me to the sprint homepage.

but if you select a city on the list (even if its only near you) it should bring up a map of your area with color coded options for rev.0 and rev.a coverage.

I received the phone return kit from Sprint, but still have the Mogul in hand... Should I install this and go with a bang? :cool:

Would suck, though, if I got a phone call from Sprint next week telling me they are reverting the return and sending the phone back as I have violated some sort of agreement by installing a non-released ROM update. :rolleyes:

[acizurqpid]

can someone help me out with this...everytime I run google maps, it stays suck on seeking satelites saying 0. im outside in nyc so its not that im inside, did you guys have to change some settings in external gps or settings in google maps?

[goat03]

So I installed last night, things went good today until I got to a Verizon roaming area. The phone worked great here while roaming on the last rom. Well nothing on my phone works..no phone, no net, no text. I need to manually reset my vision services I think. Anyone know the steps to complete this because I am in a complete remote place and cannot call Sprint. This computer I am on even has very limited abilities....dang Govt.

THANK YOU! You are my hero for providing that coverage map - I've been looking for that forever it seems. :music:

As to the leaked ROM - I installed it this morning, twice actually. First, for anybody that has put custom ROMs on their device make sure that you either update to the 2.40 Olipro bootloader (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9093) or go back in and relock (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=12041) your Mogul. I actually installed a couple of custom ROMs built from the 3.16 so I did not do the relock.

I don't know that EVDO works, as I never really seem to get a good strong signal, but from installing a newer version of the radio yesterday I did get a faster download (about 1300 kbps) but don't know about the upload.

GPS - kicks butt! You may have to try a couple of times to get Google maps to work, and it does take it a few minutes to acquire the sat signals the first time. It's pretty darn cool to be in a vehicle and watch the little dot keep up with you - it locks on really close.

Now I'm just waiting for a kitchen to come out so I can get my 6800 back to where I like it to be.

[Cheatachu72]

i uninstalled today...i was having a problem where i would have plenty of memory left and the rom seemed to like to 'hang' and not let me do anything.

oh well...thank goodness for PPC Backup

I will wait for the full version (hopefully coming soon...)

[BTMark]

I installed last night as soon as I got home -- works great for me. GPS worked 5 minutes after putting my phone in the window sill. Looks great, now all I have to do is get all of my old CABs installed.


Don't know about Rev A, but my speeds are definitely faster, yet fluctuating. One mobile speed-test went to 1.1m, then one right after went down to 500kb/s, then went up to 2m, so heck, we'll see. Definitely interested to see how long it takes to get some Custom ROMs out... I know there's already atleast 1.

Found a bug with this new update, Ondemand doesn't work. You get an error message

[BTMark]

Setting up my On Demand now -- will let you know if I experience the same issue.

[JSarella]

i can confirm that ondemand doesnt work, it just crashes, or freezes up. THis happened on another rom, i think on 2.16 for me. But who needs that anyway.:hee:

[BrettW]

if you must have on demand, you could always try http://express.handmark.com/ handmark pocket express, its free and its the unbranded version of on demand for sprint.

[BTMark]

Yeah, it hung for a few and gave me an error message.


Something about the Account verification failed, etc. Oh well, I never use it anyhow.

EDIT: I downloaded and installed the unbranded version, and it works the same (...because it is the same, I know), as On Demand. So, if you're having issues, that's a perfect work-around! Thanks BrettW :headbang2

[hawaiin00ginger]

i dont suppose sprint tv came with this version did it? lol one could only hope

[BTMark]

hawaiin00ginger, nope. I had Sprint TV working for a while on my Mogul... but it stopped awhile ago. Wish I could be more helpful, but that's just me :)

Definitely interested to see how long it takes to get some Custom ROMs out... I know there's already atleast 1.

Here are the custom ROMs with this version that I know of currently:

DCD's 2.0.0 BETA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362566) - I have not tried this, but I normally use his kitchen and it works well. This is an extremely early build.

superevilllama has a custom ROM posted as well over at ppcgeeks (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=16872) and I am actually running that one at the moment. It doesn't have the newest radio, so you'll need to either flash that in first or go with....

This (http://rapidshare.com/files/86648524/3.16_GPS_rom__and_patched_2.05spl.rar.html) custom ROM that does have the radio. I think that it is a shadowmite build, but I'm not sure. I had this one for a little bit and it seemed to work fine as well.

I didn't make any of these, just ran them and found them. I would go with either of them - but the dcd rom is likely to be fairly bare and minimal I would guess.

I'm sure there are more out there.

[treefrog]

What steps should be taken to revert to the original 2.17 ROM as if this ROM were never installed? Do I need to run a relocker first? Can I just flash the original 2.17 ROM? All words of advice would be greatly appreciated.

[BrettW]

just flash, the 2.17 rom will overwrite any other rom.

[treefrog]

just flash, the 2.17 rom will overwrite any other rom.

Great, so the relockers/unlockers are for people that installed custom ROMS?

[BrettW]

for the people who want to install custom roms yes.

[treefrog]

for the people who want to install custom roms yes.

Ah, I see. Just to avoid problems that may arise later... someone on PPCGeeks mentioned that for "warranty purposes" some stock relocker/bootloader thing should be run. Since you seem technically inclined, is this true? Sorry for these foolish questions.

[BTMark]

Looked at the Custom ROMS, am going to flash superevilllama's when I get home, from what the thread contains, I think it'll fit me the best. Thanks for the information!

[goat03]

Ok, I installed this rom yesterday and it worked great until I came to work. Which is in a remote location. I roam off of Verizon towers...with usually pretty good reception. This new ROM has screwed me for some reason. My phone no longer acts activated. I get a verzion recording saying the number is not activate or valid. I tried to get my vision to reset by doing the reset password trick. Basically..while I am roaming on Verizon towers am I pretty much screwed on getting my information back? Or should I call into Sprint..UGH...and see if they can actually manually do this somehow?
Thanks

[ink718]

can someone help me out with this...everytime I run google maps, it stays suck on seeking satelites saying 0. im outside in nyc so its not that im inside, did you guys have to change some settings in external gps or settings in google maps?

I had the same problem. What I did was, I left the Google Maps running and made sure the blue light was blinking. After driving around and going places for like 15 mins, Google Maps final picked up like 6 satalites and was working! Try that and see if it works.

Also people who have TomTom and cant get it work. Make sure you Google Maps running and working, then load up TomTom and setup the TomTom GPS. TomTom GPS settings should be "other GPS device" and "com4" on it and it should work! Good luck!

If you got any problems, hit me up and ill try to help.

[knytphal]

If you did use the Olipro bootloader unlocker you would probably be O.K. if you needed to get your phone serviced - but just for safety's sake, I would go ahead and relock it - that way they can't blame you for any mistakes or voiding the warranty type issues.

Looked at the Custom ROMS, am going to flash superevilllama's when I get home, from what the thread contains, I think it'll fit me the best. Thanks for the information!

Your welcome! That's the one that I have liked the most myself.

[acizurqpid]

anyone having problem where after using the gps, the phone cannot make or receive calls?

[otacon]

I've read in other forums that you can't roam on Verizon towers with the test rom...

[BrettW]

it may be the PRL on the test rom, i would say call sprint and get a prl update,i believe 60611 is the newest one out, if it has any lower of a PRL then sprint should be able to flag a prl update, or in the case of a PDA its quite easy to download and manually update the PRL using the ##prl# menu

http://corolada.com/prl/sprint/60611.prl

is the newest prl out. even if it says that prl is already on the device, it may be a custom one for the test device.

if no one else wants to try this, ill do it on my own when my mogul arrives on tuesday i roam on verizon quite often @ my friends house.

[Miniwhip]

After I flashed the ROM, I called Sprint and had them reset my Vision. Then I asked them to flag my account for a PRL update. I ended up with PRL 60611. I'm not sure if it made a difference or not. I'm not sure if I even roamed yet, but i've had no issues.

EDIT: DOH! Someone just posted the same thing!

[BrettW]

yea, im thinking test rom = test prl also, its been known to happen and if they are exclusively testing the evdo rev.a i could see them wanting to disable verizon towers

ill know on tuesday, unless someone else wants to test and confirm this, it seems miniwhip is on the right track.

[goat03]

Well...The link that you posted is all encrypted on my computer so I cannot see it. I went into the ##prl# set up and put in 60611, guessing I need to see what is on that site to actually do a PRL update. I really wish I would have not decided to test this ROM out when I was going to the field for three days.

[Miniwhip]

I've never done a PRL update manually, but don't you need to right click the link, and "save as", then send it to your phone?

[ameetn]

I haven't done a manual PRL update before. Once I dial ##PRL#, it asks me for an unlock code. What code is that?

[drifter75]

I flashed this test rom, and all is good. Google picked up the satellites within 5 minutes. Also, I have destinator 7 installed and works great. I don't have to have google running in the background either. ##debug# now shows all the info that used to say N/A. I don't know about the roaming, because I nevr roam since I live in a large city. Also, this is true standalone GPS because it still works in airplane mode. I just wanted to do a quick test of this rom, I am probably going to go back to 2.17 until the final release, I hate that test only wording on the HTC screen.

BTW, my phone went to the color screen and hung there for a minute, then reset itself. but, it picked right back and finished without a problem.

[ersocia]

any ideas on the best way to go about getting rid of the default "x-button" task manager? i personally prefer tMan, and the one that comes stock in this ROM isn't listed in the remove programs list...

[dallas contract]

I called yesterday when I saw I has a old prl with rom. Seems I was on phone with Sprint for 15 minutes they could not force a update.

[zdragon]

Hello

I installed last night and everything seems ok. A question...how do you work the GPS feature? Thanks.

[markvallaster]

Here goes! upgrading now. Either this works or I replace the phone -- can't take it under 2.17.

[Ualdayan]

Here's my experience:

To install it I first did a hard reset of the phone, then I switched from Vista to my copy of Windows XP (32-bit) trying to be extra cautious. It did freeze at 11% (with the phone at the tricolor screen), but I'd read for others that it unfroze for them. I ALMOST gave up and restarted it after 15 minutes, but I kept hoping it would unfreeze. It did after about 30 minutes. Not sure why it took so much longer for me, but I'm glad I didn't interrupt it. After it was installed I tried to bring up PIE and it said it needed to "Prepare Vision services." and mentioned IOTA. That took about 10 minutes then my connection established.

I'm having some problems with EV-DO and the GPS. Like others on the other forum my GPS took about an hour before it started working, but since then it's been very finicky. I'll be in the same location, and Google Maps will say it's picking up satellites. Then if I close Google Maps and reopen it suddenly GPS can't pick up any satellites. If I close it again and reopen it sometimes the GPS starts working again, other times a reset is required.

The data problems are more troublesome though. As several people have mentioned Pocket Internet Explorer has problems opening websites, but I believe it to be more of a data connection problem than PIE. Even in Opera data transfers frequently hang and tell you transfer interrupted. (confirmed to be happening to others on the other forum) Some roaming issues (in that it doesn't roam) but I've read that might be because there is a possibility it has a test PRL even though it says it's 60610. Big problem for me though is the EV-DO drops out frequently. Even sitting on my desk it'll be connected, an IM client running, then suddenly it turns on, flashs "Can't connect to #777", and then my IM client has AOL bugging me telling me "You are now logged on at two locations". The internet doesn't drop out for any significant length of time (for this specific problem), but thinking about it during this post has made me want to see if maybe my IP address is changing for some reason. Finally - I have had this happen only once (granted I've only had this rom installed one day) but the internet connection died entirely and was solved only by a soft reset. Not sure what caused it but the EVDO icon stayed on at the top, I even tried a client initiated IOTA which failed with a 1012 Unable to provision error. After a soft reset my connection came back.

[Ualdayan]

I tried calling and got a woman I had great difficulty understanding, then she didn't know what a PRL was. (was done using *2 to get to her) So, I downloaded and used the file you linked instead. For everybody else you do ##PRL#, type in your MSL number, then I selected PRL, Edit, showed it where I'd saved the file on my microSD card, hit Ok. It did an update, said "Press Ok to reset." It restarted, and at first I was slightly worried because it had a no signal, voice or data, icon. After about 2-3 minutes it connected and had a 1X icon. After about 10 minutes EV-DO finally kicked in. Haven't tried roaming with it yet, but I can at least confirm it didn't break anything readily apparent by applying that file.

I need help here
I have 2 moguls mine and my frens

day before yesterday I tried to flash this rom on both fones but ended up flashing his first
it erased his mdn and msid and I knew it was different than his fone no.
and we didn't know it so then after long process I thought about flashing 2.17 thinking it would give msid no.
but it didn't work and I ended up calling sprint cs and then I got msid and then everything seemed to work in 2.17
then again in the night I flashed 3.16 in it programed myself with the msid and msl
but here's the problem whenever he tried to use data it does iota data provision but fails everytime with error code 1012
I even tried soft resetting as well as hard resetting but no go
while in my fone it went smoothly
so can anybody explain how do I provision his fone
thank you
ps the gps is awesome but will this work in other countries? lets say asia...

[goat03]

Well since I cannot do a manual PRL because I cannot download and transfer anything on this computer..GOVT! GRR. I was wondering...has anyone roamed while on the new ROM. Could someone force roam and see if they loose vision and call abilities? I def. think what BrettW said earlier is true...everything in this ROM is beta..and this beta version doesn't roam...hopefully someone will prove me wrong and my phone is just being goofy not wanting to IOTA. Anyway..thanks for any feedback.

[Ualdayan]

With the 60611 PRL I can select roaming only and it connects at 1X. How can you see what cell tower you are connected to? I wouldn't be surprised if the phone isn't still using sprint even when you set it to roaming only.

Not sure about PIE but in Opera I believe you can just type in the full path to the file, and when it tries to open it since it isn't a webfile it recognizes it will ask if you want to Save or Open the file. Save it, then do the manual update.

(on a side note at least your government job apparently has some security. Recently in my area the social security information, address, everything was stolen from the voter registration office - the data was on a laptop HD, unencrypted, with the username/password to log on wrote on a piece of paper and TAPED to the side of the laptop, they had cameras but they had the recorder for them unplugged, and the security guard said he saw the window open but he didn't think anything of it at the time so the theft of the laptop took 2 days for anyone to notice)

[zdragon]

I have no indication after the update that GPS is on. Does it need to be activated? Thanks

[ink718]

any ideas on the best way to go about getting rid of the default "x-button" task manager? i personally prefer tMan, and the one that comes stock in this ROM isn't listed in the remove programs list...

Start > Settings > System > Task Manager > Button. And uncheck the two options and it should be fine and can replace the X button with one of your own favorite programs.

Edit: Oops sorry, someone already explained.

[ink718]

Hello

I installed last night and everything seems ok. A question...how do you work the GPS feature? Thanks.

Read my posts, I explained how. I had a problem with it my self and got it to work.

[ink718]

I have no indication after the update that GPS is on. Does it need to be activated? Thanks

And download Google Maps: http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB

[RicoRich196]

Wow so the Mogul has a REAL GPS chip and doesn't use aGPS tower triangulation?

[BrettW]

no but the MSM7500 chipset is capable of standalone gps operation.

[saketkutta]

no but the MSM7500 chipset is capable of standalone gps operation.

hey brett what does that mean??
can i take it to asia and use it?

[BrettW]

you could take it to aisa and use the gps yes.

it means the chipset is capable of using only satellites for navigation, or using agps which is satellites + server/tower assistance.

[keefin]

:headbang2 I installed this update and everything went smoothly. NO "hangs" like everyone else had experienced. I upgraded from the 2.17 ROM. I did have to do a soft reset after the install finished (about 15 mins. total) and then my data services worked again. Oh yeah, GPS don't work from inside, but worked in my car with Google Maps pretty good. The little dot moved very smooth & swift along the map this morning as I made my way to work. Haven't noticed any problems so far.

[otacon]

I see a lot of people complaining that this and that doesn't work with the 3.16 ROM... it's a test ROM...not meant for the masses yet. For all we know it could be an Alpha version not even a Beta or a RC yet. By the looks of things it does look to be a Beta or RC but who knows. I hear people on other forums say "Well my phone doesn't work now...what am I supposed to do?" Well don't install a TEST ROM unless you're prepared for the consequences if it doesn't work right. In my own case I use my Mogul for work so I will never install a test ROM or any kind. I'm really glad to see that GPS and Rev A will be coming in an official update soon. Once that happens you're darn right I will upgrading.

From what I've noticed on other boards people running custom ROMs are having the most issues upgrading...just an FYI... might want to flash back to 2.17 before doing the upgrade...

[BrettW]

lets get that bold and in red so people will see it and read it before jumping in, i agree 100% with you

[BTMark]

I'm so sick of flashing right now it isn't funny. I want to upgrade to one of the Custom ROMs available for 3.16, but if I have to go back to 2.17 to do it, I might have to wait until later :P

[Miniwhip]

I'm happy. I've had no real issues, except for PIE, but that doesn't matter to me, I don't use it anyway. I will still flash with the *official* ROM once it hits.

[goat03]

I was pretty happy with the test Rom. For it to be BETA it works good as long as you are on Sprint towers lol. I just really wish the BETA tested ROAMing. I really wish cell phone companies would get with the program and get over this roaming B.S.

[ink718]

Am using Windows XP. I flashed the test rom on 3 Moguls and everything went fine.

[Miniwhip]

Has anyone tested how this rom roams with the PRL update? I don't roam a lot here, so I've noticed no difference.

[saketkutta]

i have also done the update but no roamin here eiter

[RacerXRed]

GPS works, drove my car to the end of the driveway it found 4 sats. Few things though, Mogul wanted to Roam for awhile after ROM update. I have Google Maps installed, its wants to access the net for info, which I understand. Does the GPS need internet access to work as well? I don't have a Vision plan, so I'm wondering if this GPS is going to cost a bundle if it needs Google Maps to work. Somebody asked for screenshots.


http://images1.filecloud.com/667303/nav_mogul.jpg

[BrettW]

you can be in airplane mode and still access gps, but google maps needs data to load the map information.

if you get a standalone gps app like tom tom with maps on your SD card, you can access gps navigation without data coverage.

[RacerXRed]

Thanks BrettW for the info, I'll be looking into the Tom Tom software.


Ok, I just connected the Mogul to the pc thru usb, I didn't know you could surf your through your computers internet connection, this just rocks!! I fired up Google Maps, GPS, mogul gives you an option to lookup contacts who you have addresses stored for. Tried one, it takes you through step by step of mileage to, turns, everything, this is badass!!

installed pretty smoothly this morning and i've used the phone most of today without a problem. web pages are definitely faster. there's something a little flakey after you soft reset related to he connectivity but it sorts itself out. it seems faster, better battery life, and the little annoyances that I had seem to be gone. things like window flicker.

[goat03]

Just for those out there wondering and just now catching up on this thread. From what I have read on other forums, this ROM does not ROAM on Verizon towers. If anyone test different or hears different, let us know. Being without a phone for the last two days, and another day to go has really sucked.

[Cheatachu72]

everyone knows you can flash back to 2.17 if you dont like 3.16, correct?

I decided 3.16 was not stable enough for my needs, so i went back....gps was nice, but having a fully functioning reliable-(ish) phone was much more important to me....

[black06c230]

i cant get a download of 2.17...i am using my phone for internet connection...every time i try from the htc website it almost completes and then aborts or just never starts

any help? another Link to try or email me the RUU to (phillips.h @ gmail . com)

THANKS

If I were you, I'd seriously consider getting a data plan if you're going to own the Mogul. There are all types of programs (and even built in apps) that constantly like to access the web. You're going to get hit (unless you completely remove all Sprint Vision connection) with a huge bill one day. Sprint has the cheapest unlimited data plans around. Why would you want to own a phone as powerful as the 6800 and not have the nice EVDO to go along with it?

[sanjsrik]

You don't get 2.17 from htc, you get it from either sprint/verizon, that's where i got mine.

[Fox McCloud]

I decided 3.16 was not stable enough for my needs, so i went back....gps was nice, but having a fully functioning reliable-(ish) phone was much more important to me....

this is why I'm going to wait; I don't want to have to double-back when the new one comes out (only to have to install everything for a 2nd time)...plus, I'm not liking what I hear in relation to the "bugs in the system" for this firmware.

It sounds really nice, and it'd be tempting, with the lower latency, higher upload EVDO Revision A (plus a tiny download boost)...which will make things load faster, and VoIP doable (not to mention if there's ever any online Mogul games XD)...but the risks are just too much for me.

hopefully the official firmware will be out in February.

I was actually considering getting the Tom Tom, I can store everything on sd card. I don't access the web on the phone, except for the wi-fi at work when I need it. If I really need it, I'll get the SERO plan.

[billyman]

I sync'd my phone to my computer w/out incident.
I d/l'd the SPCSTITANROM_3_1.zip file.
Then extracted the RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3_1_.16.651.0_435009_RS3_27_0 0_SPCS_NV124 folder.
Then extracted the RUU_TITAN_SPRINT_WWE_3[1].16.651.0_435009_RS3_27_00_SPCS_NV124.exe file.

When I double-click it, my command prompt opens for about a half a second, then disappears. Nothing else happens. I have tried d/l'g the file from another source to make sure I didn't get a corrupt file, but same results.

Does anyone know what's going on??

[knytphal]

I decided 3.16 was not stable enough for my needs, so i went back....gps was nice, but having a fully functioning reliable-(ish) phone was much more important to me....

That's what I did, too. Yeah, it was really cool to be able to use the GPS for awhile, but in the end everything was just way too flakey for my tastes.

For a little tip on those that did go with the test ROM and decide that they want to go back - first I used a custom ROM that was built from the 3.16, not the actual leaked ROM itself, so I had the 2.40 Olipro bootloader. I couldn't flash back to any previous ROM or Radio and got stuck on the HTC boot screen. Even going back into the bootloader and reflashing didn't work. What I had to end up doing was reflashing the custom 3.16 (without a radio), getting that to run - then going in and using the relocker (that can be found at ppcgeeks) to lock the SPL again. Then I flashed a stock Sprint 2.17 with 1.47.01 radio. And now I'm back running my custom 2.17.

I was a little scared for awhile....

oh, then I had to reprogram my phone because the MDN/MSID got blown away.

[Ualdayan]

Here's another bug to add to my previous list: Sometimes while in a phone call the screen will turn off, and the lights will start blinking very rapidly. (so rapidly it just looks more like they are on and flickering than turning off and on in a countable speed) The screen won't come back on, and I can't even end the call until I do a soft reset. It does it on all the lights the mogul is capable of lighting up. (email shortcut's white light, PIE's shoutcut's white light, green phone button and red end phone call button)

When I double-click it, my command prompt opens for about a half a second, then disappears. Nothing else happens. I have tried d/l'g the file from another source to make sure I didn't get a corrupt file, but same results.

Does anyone know what's going on??
Same thing happened to me. I downloaded another version (the one where you have to rename the .exe to add the 'e' on the end) and it worked.

i've updated to the latest rom and prl and attempted to force roam for the first time and all i get is a message from verizon saying it's having difficulty verifying my account, what am i doing wrong? the only setting i changed was selecting "roam" instead of "automatic"

remember when you turned on your phone and say the screen that said "testing only, not for sale"

you are running a beta rom where there are well documented issues with roaming.

you aren't doing anything wrong besides running a rom that won't allow you to roam

[trev913]

Knock on wood, but I haven't had any REAL problems outside of the Mogul's "standard unreliability" yet.

First post here I'm a member of PPC Geeks.I just wanted to say I love this rom.I've had it in my phone since Kmart uploaded it and Ive just had small problems that where fixed fairly simply. Havening to change back my MSID# and MDN#, and the installer being so crappy. Once in a great while if I'm trying to establish links with a gps sat it will freeze also,I don't have the rome problem.In my eyes this rom is more stable than most of the rom's Sprint officially released for this phone.So is this Sprints idea of a public beta test? If so I like the Idea.

Uh...

I just installed this like a normal rom upgrade.

I had the stock 2.17 upgrade and ran the updater to this new rom.

Works fine and I'm happy :D

[Exil3d]

Hello everyone. First time poster. I decided to join this fine community to input on what I experienced with this beta rom. I must say I was impressed with the results. Everything works GREAT. I do not have no battery drain what so ever.Nor do I see a memory leak. I did not try BT yet since I never use it but overall I am very pleased and will keep it. Before I leave I do wish to post another little thing.Click on this video I came across and please join htcclassaction.org and help us all with HTC phones get the point across HTC. Now, with that being said........ I am very happy I kept my Mogul and did not ditch it fro another phone. Hopefully we all see these missing drivers , then and only them we will all have a Super Phone.

i just wanted to say, first off i installed the new rom and have had zero issues roaming on verizon, i forced my phone into roaming, was on verizons network (tested by dialing a number without an area code) and it let me know the call could not be completed, then i promptly redialed the number with the area code and the call went through, data roaming was also successful

I jsut wanted to tell you the info in that youtube video is totally incorrect. The video drivers in question are missing from ALL newer HTC phones- both the Mogul and Touch as well as the Tilt and others. the reason "most likely" the Mogul's scrolling is so choppy in that video and the Touch's is so smooth is the Touch has double the RAM the mogul has. meaning if both phones had nothing running the Touch had a lot more free resources. thats just my best guess on that one but its definitely not the drivers. The Touch and Mogul have the same exact guts except the RAM difference

[BrettW]

heres another tidbit of info

the java app does have access to the gps, so apps such as mgmaps work.

im going to test a few versions of telenav for kicks also.

[intlschizo]

First of all, hats off to anybody who was able to make this work on Vista! I had to get my old laptop out and uninstall Vista and install XP on it, THEN run the ROM on that laptop. No problem installing the ROM...now I have to wait on the call from Sprint to get this damn Vision service to stop doing that damn 1012 error.

Oh, Sprint...can't live with you, can't live without you.

[mem_reddog]

Do I need my MSID and MDN numbers before I do this rom upgrade? And if so, how do I go about getting this info.

[Cheatachu72]

Do I need my MSID and MDN numbers before I do this rom upgrade? And if so, how do I go about getting this info.

some people have reported that it wipes them out, but more than likely they are not wiped out. mine were not wiped out when i flashed the beta

mine were wiped out when i used the relocker to go back to 2.17...i simply called up sprint and told them i needed to reprogram my phone after installing the 2.17 upgrade (didnt tell them i ever did the 3.16), they gave my msl, mdn, and msid and walked me through the steps to reprogram.

[intlschizo]

I am so pissed off right now; two hours on the phone w/Sprint for them to tell me that basically, there's nothing they can do about the fact that my Vision isn't working on my phone! GRAAAAAAAAH!!!!

[churka07]

So theres a new update with GPS on it?
How come when I go to Windows Update on my mogul. There are no new updates...

Is this a beta and not supposed to be out in the public? If not, i dont want to play around with it. Im looking for a clean easy way to get a update going.
I dont want to have to reactive my phone with the SID numbers.

You are running a ROM that is not supported for Sprint, so no they won't troubleshoot your phone.

[intlschizo]

Well obviously I didn't call and say "help me with this illegal ROM".

Actually, turns out these idiots reset my account TWICE and didn't waive some reconnection fees; so now I owe $432 for two disconnection fees...oh, boy. At least the guy on the other end is apologizing like crazy.

[mem_reddog]

OK, I just updated the rom and so far so good. Everything seems to be working as usual (for the mogul anyway). I will test the GPS when I leave work.

[dannimal]

Well obviously I didn't call and say "help me with this illegal ROM".

Does that matter? If you've got the leaked ROM installed, and Vision doesn't work on it (which the call center people probably won't know either way), what do you expect? Troubleshooting they can do will be geared around the supported ROMs.

[intlschizo]

Other people seem to be able to use their Vision just fine using the leaked ROM - why would mine be any different?

[pdx77]

Oh, so the guy I'm talking to can magically tell which ROM I'm running? That's new. Gee, you would've thought he would've said something four hours ago, Slick.

What was the reason the tech gave you that they couldn't help you with your Vision problem?

[intlschizo]

What was the reason the tech gave you that they couldn't help you with your Vision problem?

They didn't. He said he would put in a new ticket with advanced services, so I called BACK and now I've been on the phone with this completely different tech for the past two hours - which shouldn't be confused with the 2.5 hours I wasted w/the last tech. *sigh*

To those that have decided to bail on the beta ROM. Did you have any difficulty going back to an old one?
I can't get it to restore.

This is the error:

[SxualChkL8]

If you don't know what you are doing and/or not ready for the potential problems that a unofficial rom will do to your phone, you should not even attempt to flash your Mogul. Just wait until the final release comes out and save yourself the trouble. That's why so many of the techs at Sprint (and I am not defending those guys by any means) are so frustrated when they are trying to help with issues.

[wynand32]

I installed the ROM, and have had fairly good success. My results:

1. GPS works great. Sprint Navigation is really not a terrible product.

2. Bluetooth is night-day difference from the previous ROM. It connects, stays connected, and reconnects (e.g., when the phone is turned off/on) perfectly, and sound volume and quality is improved.

3. Activesync works better, principally Exchange push sync. It's actually usable now.

4. Battery life has taken a supreme nose-dive. I doubt that I can go an entire day with a single charge, without talking on the phone. I'm sure it's a combination of Bluetooth now being on constantly, the GPS receiver (?), and this being a test ROM of unknown status.

I'll likely stay with this ROM, even given the horrible battery life. In any case, I'm very much looking forward to a shipping ROM. The Mogul is now the phone I thought I was buying...

I know that there are people here that have tried and ran into problems, but there are alot of people who don't take the time to read up and find oput what the repercussions of what they do is gonna be. Instead, they screw up there phone and wonder why it won't work and ask alot of questions that have been answered a million times in the same thread.

All I am saying is if you do a little research, the threads would be alot cleaner.

Yes, there is a leaked ROM that enables GPS and EVDO RevA. However, the Windows Update is about the most useless thing out there - I have no idea that it will ever actually be used. In order to flash a new ROM your going to have to connect your phone to a computer and do it through Activesync. There is a lot of documentation out there for this. However, I would not suggest going with the beta ROM unless you are very familiar with flashing ROMs to your device.

For both of these - I also decided to go back to a 2.17 ROM after flashing to the 3.16 test ROM. You will first need to make sure that your device can boot to the Today screen (I say this because I tried to just go back without doing what I am going to describe, and ended up getting stuck at the black HTC screen), then go through the steps to relock your device (it's over at the ppcgeeks ftp site, but I don't know that they would want that posted; you can also find it at xda-developers, just search for titan relocker).

After you relock it, just go ahead and flash whatever rom you want - you'll probably want to flash one that has a radio as well, so I would just use the stock Sprint 2.17. You can do this from the three-color bootloader screen.

As for not being able to make phone calls, you will need to reprogram your device. I had to do this as well. If you have your MSL and MSID then you can do it yourself, just enter ##MSL# and go in and edit the MDN and MSID. Otherwise just call CS (but not from your Mogul) and have them talk you through reprogramming.

[markvallaster]

I installed this a few days ago. no problems and device is 10000000000000x better. faster, better on battery, etc. its almost a new device.

[knytphal]

It almost seems like it's hit-or-miss on whether or not the test ROM is a boon or a hindrance to people. I guess I just had bad luck with it - EVDO would lose an active data connection, sometimes I could only connect at 1X in an EVDO area, I had worse battery life, general lockups...yeah it was faster and GPS is the bomb, but I'll hold out till it's official.

[txsrooster]

THERE IS A NEW ROM OUT!! it is not offical and I think Sprint released it in hopes that everyone will install it, and if it bricks your phone they won't have to pay!!! Free testing...no liability!!
I hear it also activates the GPS and copies ALL your phone calls and info on the phone and card are sent to the Government.

You don't need to stack ROMs. I upgraded from 2.09, and it worked fine. All ROM updates are completely independent.

1) Run the titan re-locker found at ppcgeeks.com (follow steps carefully, and it might be worthwhile to read the thread about the relocker at ppcgeeks too)
2) Run the 2.17 RUU that can be downloaded from http://www.america.htc.com/support/mogul/software-downloads.html

Mogul = King again!

I uploaded the new rom. I was kind of fustrated because it just seemned to "hang" at around 11% however, the last time I was fed up and just left it there and low and behold "BAM" the new rom was on.

GPS with google maps is soooo awesome! It is pretty fast...the first time it was trying to aquire the sat. signal was slow, probably about 20 min. after that it takes a few seconds.

Now I just have to find some software that I can load my own maps to a SD Card. I think google maps is just too data intensive. I received the Mogul free, so after GPS, it makes this phone a cheap and inexpensive GPS solution! I fell in love with it again. woot!

Yea I got it worked out, I did end up having to call in and get the correct MSID. I wrote a number down wrong previously.
So this is the steps: ##inputMSL#: Edit: MDN=Phone Number: MSID= 10 digit number, its almost your phone number, it might be, my last four numbers were different.
After that, it rebooted and everything went back to normal, Sprint of course tells you it might take up to four hours.

good you got it worked out. i know my mdn and msid are correct, i imagine i just have to call them to associate the esn on my mogul with my phone line. i'm in love with this 700p right now so i'm not even gonna bother with all the phone calls when the official rom is released i'll probably go ahead and switch back to my mogul

Hi Everyone,

I live in an area where the towers have apparently support Rev A (from the Sprint coverage map). However, I'm not really seeing an increase in connection speeds.

Is there any definitive way to determine whether I am making a Rev A connection to the tower nearest to my house. Just curious.

Yea I got it worked out, I did end up having to call in and get the correct MSID. I wrote a number down wrong previously.
So this is the steps: ##inputMSL#: Edit: MDN=Phone Number: MSID= 10 digit number, its almost your phone number, it might be, my last four numbers were different.
After that, it rebooted and everything went back to normal, Sprint of course tells you it might take up to four hours.

Yeah, you gotta make sure those numbers are correct. Funny thing is, I knew what all mine where before I even called in to CS - I just wanted to make sure I was doing it right - and the guy I talked with tried to give me the wrong MSID, he had two numbers transposed. I was like, is it this or something else? It was the something else....:huh:

I just updated to thie 3.16 rom myself. It took like 10 minutes to get a lock when I left it alone on my window cill in nyc. It just brought in the map of my location on goggle maps. I wonder what happens when you lose signals when driving...

heh, you prolly responded to my "unedited" post. I was walking arround outside and couldn't get it to work. But then it picked up some sats on my window cill.

[BrettW]

plus it can take up to 30seconds to 1minute to warm up to even get a sat lock

for more info on to speed up the lock process, this is good info for anyone to have

In NYC, it would will be a little/take longer to get signal because of all the buildings. Us NYCers must deal with it. Once your in a place where not too many buildings are, it takes my Mogul about like 5 mins to get a signals.

I've been back and forth myself. I finally settled on No2Chem's Window's Mobile 6.1 based clean ROM. Very nice. Got all my stuff installed, data works, GPS works. I'm good to go.

Last night after flashing back to stock 2.17 I had major issues getting PV provisioned - it just would not work. But it came back up this morning. So today I watched some pregame stuff and flashed my 6800.

I don't think that I have ever used On Demand...in my opinion it's pretty useless - though it was handy to have on a non-pda phone.

One thing I've noticed, and I'm sure this has been posted somewhere - is that if I have to flash from just the bootscreen that I have to reprogram my phone.

Now for some reason this morning my Mogul is not notifiying me of new alerts (text messages/missed calls/voicemails). I checked the Notifications tabs, everything is checked as it should be. I'm wondering if the new ROM is causing this, wierd thing is this just started this morning. I've had the new ROM 3.16 since it was posted.

I wasnt satisfied with 3.16 locking up randomly after going into gps or a phone call...

I am hovering my mouse over the "next" button to flash no2chem's rom because i am reading it is pretty good...why did you go back to 2.17?
