Ok so it's been a whole 2 days since I've had to soft reset with the new rom. All I have to say is it's been working great. I had bluetooth hooked up to my car for 1.5 hours straight yesterday. It never shut itself off, the car's display constantly showed it connected and was reporting signal and battery level fast and accurate the whole time. I made calls from the cars hands free system and the phone responded immediately.

The only problem I'm having that others are having is the DPad freezing up only when bluetooth is left on. Something interesting though is that if I open up a program without shutting off bluetooth the dpad works in that program. I'm beginning to think this could be a compabatibilty issue with something on the home screen. The only extras I have installed on the home screen are live search and the HTC home plugin.

i haven't had any dpad problems, but i dont use bluetooth extensively. I tried following some of the settings people were saying (turn on BT, goto sleep, try to wake the phone, and dpad wont work) but mine worked, so i'm not sure what I am doing wrong, or why I cant repeat it. The only thing i CAN repeat, is the when going into roaming, the phone locks up and wont reawaken. i did another hard reset last night again, so hopefully my texting woes will have been fixed. other than that, the update seems to be workin' as advertised. the bluetooth sounds clearer the few times i used it, but i usually turn it on/off right before/after the call, b/c i like to keep my battery alive as long as possible.
Apps Installed:
HTC X-Button 1.5
HTC Home w/ Color Icons
Cingular MusicID
PHM Regedit
Google Maps
Live Search
TCPMP.72
FlashVideoBundle
WM6-RDP-Finster
AIM 2.0
Flashlight.exe
PictureMail Hack
VistaHideBattery

and those are all my apps, and I'm having no dpad issues or anything of the sort. i can only repeat the roaming issue, and i WAS getting delayed text messages, but i have since hard resetted, and i have only gotten a few, and so far, i haven't had anythin' weird.

EDIT: forgot to mention that I'm in Blacksburg, VA, where I only have 1X coverage, so none of this is tested w/ EV-DO. the roaming issue happens when I am in a classroom where I dont receive signal, and that's when my phone doesn't want to turn back on.

The roaming freeze has struck. Funny I didn't see it before now, but now it happens every time. Unfortunately, that's kind of a big deal around here so it goes back to 2.09 and I guess there is a serious problem with this rom. Too bad, it was so much faster.

Wait if all you guys are freezing with Roaming and this update updated all of our PRL's to 60610 could the problems be in the how the PRL interact with the rom. Sorry I'm just thinking outloud and am probably wrong

But it was weird that the update would cause that. Anyway, after that was out of the way, it worked fine amd continues to do so. ...

I had (am having) this error 67 issue and have had to call Sprint twice in the past 3 days to get my data working... If I change my power vision password online, my data stops working and I have to get tech support involved. It's like the PV password change won't go through anymore and the error 72's start -- had no trouble with previous ROM. I had another error 67 this morning that miraculously "fixed itself"... I don't get it. Except for this funky data connectivity issue, the new ROM is working ok for me (I don't use BT)...

Any specifics you could provide on your "fix" for this would be appreciated -- I'm not real familiar with EPST -- I know ##778# will launch EPST, but I don't see anything that looks wrong (of what little I understand in there, though I do have degrees in EE)...

I don't think its the PRL 60610 update.I got that a few weeks back and every thing worked fine until the 2.16 update.

[idiotekniQues]

i think i hate sprint

Update def worked just that there are some prominent issues.
BT shutting off is annoying bu the device also appears to freeze up, however give it 2 to 3 mins and it recovers.
