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

I've been having tons and tons of the same problem with the Mogul and everyone else. I tried dcd's ROM but that is suffering from Bluetooth turn-off issues too. So I decided to try the last resort that recently came up, the 2.08 ROM. This is what my Mogul originally came with as I was one of the first ones to order the Mogul.

But besides all that, I wanted to keep the latest Radio so I decided to just downgrade to 2.08 with 1.47 Radio and so far, its workign like a charm. I've duplicated many incidents where I've had bluetooth turn off on the other ROMs but 2.08 has been sucessful in all those tests. And with the advantage of the latest radio, I think this is the perfect combination.

No issues at all!! ---------------aside from the slight memory leak.

I hear people using 2.16 with the 1.40 radio and it working great too - from what I understood the issues were being blamed on the 1.47 radio? plus 2.08 still has the crappy sounding bluetooth problems.... sounds like the worst of both worlds to me

Honestly, I've never experienced any problems with Radio 1.47. Because with all the ROMs that I've tested, I've used Radio 1.47...its been flawless for me. And you should try it, the bluetooth sound issue is really not that big. The sound for the most part is still pretty good.

lets forget the radio a minute here. i think everybody is reading too much into the radio rom.

are you telling me that the 2.08 rom does not have bt issues that are present in my rom, alltel's os, sprint 2.09 and 2.16, etc etc?

I thought the 2.08 rom was for testing and used more mem then the 2.09 rom? Thats why they put out the 2.09 rom. No?

it wasnt just for testing, my original mogul came with it, bought 1-2 months after release.

Yeah the Mogul originally launched with 2.08, which is why they had a new ROM to enable the Sprint Music Store. Mine had it.

Two of ours on my personal account came with the 2.08 and I have one still in the box with the 2.08 on it. (can't sell it btw)

For some reason when I had 2.08 the alarm worked fine when I had it charging. But once i upgraded it didn't work. I might just have to go back to 2.08 for the alarm clock.

Yeah...my Mogul originally came with 2.08 and did not have the Bluetooth 'turn-off' or 'disconnect' problem...as with Sprint 2.16 and Alltel as well as your ROM.

With 2.08 and 2.09, there was never an issue of bluetooth just randomly dropping connection...the only issue with those two ROMs was bluetooth sound was choppy. The connection drop issue came with 2.16 and I was it present in your ROM as well as Alltel.
