Wait till the ROM is available from Sprint's site under downloads, b/c Sprint is planning to pack it with another radio version and some other bluetooth tweaks (volume control issue), and HTC jumped the gun with posting the ROM on their website.
Basically its a generic TyTN upgrade that was originally geared for GSM versions and they slapped it with the sprint splash screen to shut up the crowds that were calling them daily and tearing them a new one. Apparently since this phone is ONLY serviced by sprint, this is not considered to be an official rom upgrade until its available on sprint's site.

Can anyone working for SPCS confirm this at all?

I think the tech was feeding you a line of BS...

How many peeps with lock-up problems have slide2unlock installed? I switched it off and the phone has not locked up on me for the past 8 hours.

it is not a tytn rom that was originally geared for gsm. the drivers are titan/cdma drivers and the kernel is older than cingulars tytn build. what he told you is false.

I know itâ€™s been said before..........but I just got off the phone with Sprint and they said itâ€™s a known issue. However, the more people that call or e-mail to complain will raise the priority of the issue.

So do your part and call or e-mail!

I don't recall ever seeing a ROM update on Sprint's site. Even when I had my 700wx I got a text message from Sprint (about the update to fix the SMS issue) and that text message sent me to Palm's website not to their site. So I call BS on what that tech said as well. I don't even think Sprint has the mean to develop a ROM or modify it, I thought it all went through the HTC... I can be wrong about this last statement though.

As far as my results...

My device only froze once, overnight after the update. It has not frozen again.

I have experienced, twice, the issue of my d-pad not working. Both times happened when I turned on BT.

I have not been able to test clarity of call through BT. However, I did notice that when I received a call and my BT headset was on, it did not beep as before.

I personally feel as if memory is being handled better. I have also noticed other apps more responsive, specially Newsbreak.

Damn... I guess I talked too soon.

I went to sleep late last night, at around 7-8 AM (so you could say I went to bed this morning). I got up at 3 PM and my battery was completely drained... to the point where the device did not turn on and when I plugged it in the charging light was red instead of orange.

I'm pretty sure the phone somehow froze and that's how the battery got drained because my battery usually lasts longer.

Hasn't been updated in a long time. The previous Mogul ROM is not there, heck the 700wx update is not there... just the SMS patch that was released shortly after the 700wx's release.

Guys who haven't given up on the 2.16 rom try this registry setting.

HKLM/software/microsoft/bluetooth/sys:
DisableAutoSuspend:
Changed from 1 to 0.
I know theoretically this should enable Auto Suspend. What happened to me is my headset went into it's power saving mode and it disconnected from the Mogul. All I did was hit the connect button on my headset and it connected right back up with the Mogul. I'm going to see how my regedit works and if it isn't satisfactory I'm going to try yours. But I think between the two we got we're getting somewhere.

So far after two hours I have had no bluetooth problems or dpad issues. They're both working the way I would expect BT to work.
