I was about to post a similar thread - I did on PDAPhone home. People are reporting various things - BT shuts off on their phone - like it would when power is low. Others are saying they just stop having connectivity between the two and have to reset the phone to re-establish connectivity.

well after the rom update my bt sound is still only a lil better than subpar and i also notice that when i hit the power button to hibernate the phone when i press the button to wake it up it is unresponsive and i have to soft reset, also it seems like the memory leak is gone but the price for that is once again the mogul becomes unresponsive and i have to soft reset, in just 18 hours i have had to soft reset 8 times and it also seems that when you first turn on the phone it seems like it takes a few extra mins for the radio to aquire a signal, while with the 2.09 rom as soon as your screen booted up BAMM you had a signal.

My bluetooth is turning itself off also ever since I did the update last night.

My mogul will also freeze if I have my headset connected and I hit the button to put the phone to sleep. It won't wake back up when I hit the button again. I have to soft reset to get it back. If my bluetooth is turned off I can put it to sleep and wake it back up over and over again with no problems. It only happens when bluetooth is turned on. Figures...

My Mogul is also only a week old. I ditched my treo 700wx because of bluetooth problems for the mogul and the moguls problems are even worse. Looks like its about time to move on over to GSM or another carrier. I've been with Nextel and now Sprint for almost 8 years now and their phones and service has gone down hill fast with no brakes.

EDIT: by the way... I never tried my bluetooth before the rom update, so I don't know how well it worked before with the older rom. I just hadn't gotten around to setting up that part of my phone yet.

maybe a little off topic, but does anyone know BT status of the telus rom? maybe at this point we need to locate the best of all available BT drivers and use them.

Phone locks up when switching between Edvo and 1x and bluetooth turns off randomly. The bluetooth part is what kills me. It was a cronic issue with my 6700's I had.

This is one of the principal reasons I switched to the 6800 - I can't believe this nonsense. My confidence in HTC products is diminishing quickly.

HTC just churns out garbage. Who do you think the morons were who "tested" this software update before releasing it? BT sounds a bit better but shuts itself off, D-Pad doesn't work any longer and BT causes the phone to lock up when put to sleep. UGH!
