Seriously you guys, complaining here does nothing- we can't do anything about it. Sprint needs to know that there is a serious problem so that they can get the ball rolling on this.

Tech support calls are painless nowadays, they have a new call center and they pick up right away.

CALL AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE ROM UPDATE!!!
IF YOU HAVEN'T CALLED YET, DON'T BOTHER POSTING IN HERE! WE ALL ALREADY KNOW!!!!!!

I actually called both HTC and Sprint. HTC was no help as it is Sprint's ROM. Sprint did allow that they have received "numerous concerns" over the update, however did not offer any more information or a resolution...

im sorry but i have no tolerance for the memory leak BULLSHIT anymore. wow does anyone else find his post hillarious

thanks, your post is the best ive seen since this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=112

First of all you elitist ass munch....perhaps you didn't read my post carefully....or I didn't state it clearly enough. After running apps....and making sure everything is closed with HTC Task and of course the normal method through Settings

....only having HTC home running.....there is no reclaim of RAM.

Once again....phone starts at 24MB after reboot. I use the phone...threaded SMS, PIE, Messaging (EAS), ICS, HTC Home, HTC Task.....that's it. I stop all programs....of course HTC Home and HTC Task still run. 10.94MB RAM.....no reclaim....stays at that level until I reboot.

I think you misconstrue a lot of the intent here. I think what people are doing, including myself, is not complaining...but posting their experience up for compaison to other's experiences....to get an idea if it's just them or not...and to add to the collective "brain" so light bulbs can start going off and then we can help ourselves....since we get little to no help for Sprint.

"All users should update their ROM even if they do not experience any of these issues currently." I actually tried th link and after waiting for it to install I got some error saying it's not a valid app or something like that.

yeah the main reason I updated my ROM was becasue they recommonded it

Overall the rom has been working better for me. I haven't had any issues with bluetooth the dpad, or memory leak. My memory is much better now too. I use Windows Live so when I do a soft reset i'm at 20 megs free and after getting as low as 10 megs cuz of open programs I close them all out using the HTC x button and get all the way to 18.5 megs. So yeah you can say my memory leak problems have been fixed. I'm running all the sprint "crap".

I only did two of the reg edits this time too. One being the landscape pictures fix, and the one that gets rid of the sent message notification. I didn't install threaded sms this time but installed all my other programs. Overall this phone has been much better. I'll let everyone know how battery life is for me this time around even though I didn't do any of the power saving registry hacks.

I'm not saying any of this to gloat, just offering my experience. Maybe alot of these problems are a registry change people are making or maybe it's different hardware versions of the phone.

i've had the rom for almost 24 hours, and here is what I have noticed:

All the problems that were said to be "fixed" on the site, are in fact, fixed. alarm works, bluetooth works much better (sounds clearer, easier to maintain connection w/ my H700 headset), and keyboard works too.

some of the bugs I have found:

phone locks up when in roaming or searching for service. (sitting in my physics classroom today, I found that my phone would not wake up when service was lost. i soft reset, and it worked for a few, but then when it went to sleep, it would not wake up again.)

another issue I found, and I haven't read about, is that sometimes I get my texts at a delay. if someone sent me a text at 8:04, and then someone sent me one at around 8:43, my phone would not tell me i had received the 8:04 text until I got the 8:43 text. so I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue w/ texting. Also, I am NOT using the palm app, b/c of the double messages that it sends out, and I am using just the included SMS. and I am using the same exact config I had with the previous rom 2.09, and I never experienced a problem with that.

Good, excellent. They know now. I hope everyone else here is doing the same, make sure they know how serious the problem is. Some of you aren't experiencing it, but I found that in good coverage areas I don't experience it either. Its got something to do with how the Radio part of the ROM connects and swaps networks. If it works for you now, it probably won't if/when you travel. So you should call anyway!

See, if you don't call Sprint about it, you're right that we will get little to no help from them!
The truth is, Sprint's service thus far with their PPC devices has been awful, but the tweakers and developers are happy for whatever bones they throw us, and to be honest they DO throw quite a few.

For example, when I called 2 months ago about the BT quality, multiple people had contacted Sprint by then so they knew about that problem and the ball was already rolling on getting a fix (apparently this update).
We can keep that momentum going if we make them aware of these problems as well. I was probably one of the first to report the freezing/lock up issue, and they had "no reports of any problems yet." I'm glad to hear from cykococo that they are starting to notice a pattern here.

As far as light bulbs going off, a bunch of us regulars have already determined that its the Radio ROM (as least as far as the freezing up goes... the D-pad may be a seperate issue). This is being tested for confirmation now by flashing only the radio portion to a different rom, and so far so good.

The problem is that we can't "help ourselves" as you say, because re-writing the radio code is beyond anyone outside of HTC's development team. We're just piecing together the older code to make it work like it was before. If you want anything to work BETTER than it was, well then, pick up your phone and dial *2 to do your part.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO'S CALLING IN, AND THE REST OF YOU BETTER DO IT TOO!

I've always set all of my sprint phones to Sprint only on the network. Everywhere I've gone that has given me enough coverage. That might be why I'm not having this problem.

1) Pocket Stock Center. This app loads and runs just fine, but it is unable to connect to the internet to get its updates. I've removed and reinstalled it, but the problem persists.

2) Live Search. This app fails with a program exception as soon as it loads. Again, I've removed and reinstalled, but the problem persists.

3) Virtual Earth. This app also failed with a program exception. I haven't tried reinstalling yet.

4) IBM Sametime IM. I'm probably the only person around here that uses this one, but it, too, is showing connectivity problems.

Incidentally, internet connectivity (both phone and wifi) seems fine for all other apps, so it's not truly an internet issue.

Has anyone else encountered any of these? Has anyone solved them? Is there anyone who has any of these running successfully on the new ROM? Thanks in advance for any input.

where did you get a ppc sametime client?!
