HTC Mogul Sprint ROM - GPS and REV. A New info!

[rsuddath]

I could see people reporting BOTH that bluetooth works fine and that it is terrible.

On my Mogul, activation of bluetooth, initiating streaming audio and these sort of basic bluetooth tasks work much more reliably and smoother than on my 6700,

On the other hand, once activated, the sound quality on my 6800 is much worse (static, interference etc..) and the range is terrible (even with Wifi off) and the volume is very faint, even with the phone and headset turned up to maximum.

Is this the Bluetooth issue with the 6800?, more about very poor quality than it not functioning?

I did not update with the new ROM but understand that it may have helped with Bluetooth at least, is it possible to download it even though it is no longer available from HTC? I guess that I could try it out... and switch back if necessary.

Bluetooth disconnects during calls in 2.09 and 2.16 using three different headsets for me. Therefore, useless.

One thing to keep in mind and clarify is whether the issues are with A2DP streaming to stereo headphones or using a standard BT headset for calls. There is a difference here as A2DP seems to work fine. I dont have a stereo headset to test with so I cannot guarantee this. However, the big issues as I see them are the fact that the normal BT headset disconnects and wont reconnect, has static/choppy sound, etc.

So, when we discuss issues of this nature, please be as desctiptive as possible. Just stating that BT sucks is not very helpful to anyone.

BTW, bluetooth sucks

I think Sprint put a stop to the Touch exchanges for this problem. I bought mine in July and also was refused a swap, I tried Total Equipment Protection route and all they can do is give me the same model. I also have Extended Warranty with Radio Shack, but they want to take my phone for 5 days or more and try to repair it, but did say that if they can't repair it that they would replace it with a comparable model.

The Bluetooth flaw is such a inconsistent, random problem, that any repair center is not going to find anthing wrong.

I just filed a complaint with the Virginia State Atorney General's Office as well. That's where Sprint HQ is.

Here's an interesting tidbit of info:

A couple of guys are posting on xda developers that we are going to see the rev a update prior to the end of November. They are stating their reps on that information. One said that he "heard" it and the other made the call to his contact and verified it. They are pretty strong and confident about it, too. Let's hope it's true! From the buzz I'm hearing with my Sprint contacts, it could, very well, be true. No one is committing to the information, not even me, regardless of what I've heard!
