Re: How do you confirm Rev. A after upgrade?

well just because a rom does not give you the ability to enable/disable, does not mean you do not have Rev A....have you tried running a speed test?








according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EVDO , Rev A gives you an upload of up to 1.8 Mbit/s, whereas Rev 0's upload is up to 153 kbit/s.

Anyway, it looks like this parameter isn't available either with the 3.09.666.1 download (still running stock only) for my location. Would be nice if someone else that is running stock (ie; hasn't loaded other ROMs) can verify if they have this parameter.

Side, note, found this link showing locations of Canada cell towers by carrier. To bad it can't tell if the tower's hardware has been upgraded to Rev.A capability. http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/cancellsites.html
Yeah, that might be a a possibility about PPST.....I checked after flashing the official & did not see it in 778, but I did not run carrier customization.

maybe if someone on Bell can verify, after flashing the official w/ customizations & PPST.

My point though, Bell is not gonna advertise this rom has Rev A, but not enable it.
