mogul REV.A working already...NO IT IS NOT!
Well, after getting my replacement mogul and activating it it had a issue where it would not connect online. So Sprint transfered me to the high tech support level for them that deal with this phone only. Well, at least thats what they told me. Anyways.... after reseting and hard reseting it turned out that it was the a Sprint network that was temporarily down in my area, thus giving me a error 1012 code. Anyway... while we were hard reseting the phone I managed to ask him about REV.A and GPS. Apparently the tech guy said he was a Mogul owner and loves his mogul and asked me what about me. So I told him I love mines but wished REV>A was working already. He laughed and said its already working and why wouldn't it be? I told him that I was waiting still for the rom update for the mogul to reach those speeds and also hopefully get GPS unlocked. Well, he laughed even more and said "you read that online huh?" I told him of course. Well he said his mogul hits REV.A speeds and does not have any newer rom on it other than what were all running on. He said that the mogul does not need to get a rom update to see REV.A speeds. He says its already ready out the box. he says when the box says "Future REV.A upgradeable, it means once the Sprint towers get updated to REV.A then the mogul will run those speeds automatically. And its all on the towers not the phone. So he said he was surprised when he heard me say i was waiting a rom update for REV.A because thats never gonna happen since it does not need it. He said its like your DSL service, you can buy the cheapest service and get 384 kbs and just call over and say you want to pay more for faster dsl and they just uncapp it and you run faster. Its not like you have to upgrade your Modem, its really on the ip to make it faster. Therefor once REV.A is available in your area then th mogul connects to the upgraded towers and runs at REV .A since there is no cap on it. And all this time we were waiting for it. Anyways he said in order for me or anyone else to find out if were running on REV.A is to do a speed test and the giveaway is the upload speed. He says if you upload is between 144 and 350 kbs then your REV. A. He says the only problem there is , is that there not really a good PDA spped test out there thats very accurate. And if you do finds one it only focuses on download and not upload. So ... about the GPS. He was pretty silent about it and did not say much about it. He said it would be nice if it was unlocked. Thats about it.
So ... here is our new Mission Mogulians...... we need to find a good speed test for our moguls that accurate on upload speeds. Here where I am is the birthplace of REV.A but I have tall building and mountains kinda ruin it for me. But even thou... I still need a good reliable web for the test. Any recommends?
And remember.. this was not a Sprint REP. He was actually a top level technician that fixes the toughest PDA problems and he said he knows the Mogul inside and out.
