Re: Wi-Fi Issue on PPC6800 with Windows Mobile 6.1 Upgrade

I flashed to the new 3.56.651.0 ROM about a week ago, and I now have similar WiFi problems that I did not have with the previous ROM:

* I find that my WiFi is sometimes ON, when the switch is off
* About 2-3x the Battery Drain that I had just a week ago
* The phone stops charging, despite being plugged in to the wall and/or USB, in a seemingly random way - when the battery is not even near being fully charged - also, the Amber LED light flashes for no apparent reason when it never did with the previous ROM

My Mogul is only 5 months old, and it is in excellent condition. I have not found any compelling reason to have WM6.1 or this ROM update over the previous version....

I was charging my battery once per/day, and possibly topping it off with heavy usage - but now I have to charge it nearly 3X each day

I am considering flashing back to the previous ROM - 3.35.651 - but I am worried about bricking my phone...... being that I am a noob

Can anyone help me?

1. Is it typically safe to flash back to the previous ROM version?

2. What are the advantages of WM6.1 over WM6.0? I had SprintTv, EVDO RevA, GPS support, Sprint Navigation, Skyfire, VTap with WM6.0 and it worked great before I "upgraded" to WM6.1 - I guess I thought it would have more features/be more efficient than WM6.0

3. Typically, I only have 1 or 2 apps running in Task Manager, but there are quite a few Processes that I would like to limit. How can I prevent processes that I dont use/need from loading on the Mogul on boot?

Thanks alot guys, this website is the best! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated - this battery drain is absolutely crazy!
