2.08 ROM with 1.47 Radio - PERFECT! (close enough)

[imkk]

If I don't find a thread useful and want it closed, or don't like the title, do I still have to read it?

Just thought I'd mention that I'm running the 2.08 ROM with the 1.40 radio and have had no problems whatsoever thus far (this is coming from 2.16 with 1.47 which was lockup city).

Do you use Bluetooth at all? And, if you want a newer Radio ROM, try 1.47 with 2.08 OS ROM, it should work like a charm......that is if you wanna' fiddle around with your phone some more.

I use bluetooth a lot and have had no issues thus far. I had a ton of problems with the 1.47 radio and have no desire to try it again. I'll wait until a new ROM is released and given the thumbs up before I upgrade again.

I have 2.09 and 1.47 since last Saturday w/o any BT issues(drops,shut-off etc..).I had tried 2.16 and 1.40 or even 1.32,all have BT disconnect issues.So it seemed to me that the fault was in 2.16 OS(may be a driver issue).just my 2 cents.

That is exactly my point. People are saying that its Radio 1.47 that is causing issues while I think otherwise. ANd believe me, I've tested many many combinations and the issue seems to be with 2.16 OS ROM and not the 1.47 Radio ROM.

I had 2.08 originally on my 6800 and people were always saying I sounded choppy on it. I "upgraded" to 2.09 and I still sounded choppy. I "upgraded" to 2.16 and although I didn't sound choppy any more my phone locked up, my BT disconnected or shut off on a regular basis. Does the radio have anything to do with the BT?

The Radio shouldn't have anything to do with Bluetooth issues. If anything, the radio could lead to lock ups because of signal type changes (Ev to 1X, etc.) as many have reported. But let me say this, I have noticed (but have not been able to duplicate) that when signal mode switches from Ev to 1X, Bluetooth turns off. See if you can duplicate it, if you want. This is on 2.16 ROM with 1.47 Radio ROM or dcd's 1.4 and 1.1 with whatever radio he uses (I think its 1.47).

Just for the record, I've got 2.16 and 1.47, and I'm having no problems whatsoever with Bluetooth or lockups. I know that a lot of people are having trouble with that combination, but it seems to be working fine here. I've gone in and out of EVDO, 1X, Roaming, etc, with no problems. The phone sleeps, wakes, no problem. Bluetooth stays on, works correctly.

The only thing that I can suggest that might be different between my setup and anyone elses is that I did the soft reset before any of the Sprint extensions could be installed. So none of that junk is on my phone.

And I don't mean to imply that I have absolutely no problems. I have several pieces of software that simply won't run on my phone, foremost among them is Microsoft Live Search (which fails with a "Native Exception" whenever I try to start it). And I do occasionally (every few days) find myself in a situation where the phone seems to need a reboot, but that's happening at about the same frequency that it did under 2.09, so there's nothing new there.

But I'm having no trouble with the radio or bluetooth.
