HTC Mogul Sprint ROM 2.17.651.0 - feedback

[Josedogg54]

First Off I love this ROM it's the best working Rom since owning my 6600. Everything works perfect Blue Tooth with my Jawbone Headset, Battery lasted me over 48 hours before I had to recharge, Roaming works I can switch back and forth all day with no delays or lock ups. There is only one thing I see with the new rom I haven't experienced before with others It's when I finish a call and hang up by hitting the end button my signal goes from 1X to searching for a network then like 3 seconds later EV pops up and I'm good to go. It's not a problem just a observation. Once Rev A. and GPS are on this puppy my phone will be unstoppable and I plan on trying to take over the word and all I can say is who's with me.

1. Locks up roaming (I live in NYC plenty of Sprint and other carriers with strong signals.) This happens with the 1.40 radio version as well.
2. Does not work with bluetooth Motorola H700 at all, pairs but can't answer in coming calls, very annoying!
3. Random lock-ups about three in a 24 hour period.
4. Alarms still don't work.
5. Text (sms) messages lost after a soft reset (seems like not a big deal but I use this for work, some were important!)
6. Memory leak still there.
7. Issues with active sync loss of connection intermittently.

Guess what, after all this I flashed back to 2.09 with radio 1.32, got PRL update from Srint 60611 is the latest and they push it directly to the phone for you call*2 and ask that simple.

So far no lock ups and well bluetooth still does not work and neither do the alarms but at least it's stable. IMHO 2.17 is crap don't waste your time. Sprint really has to get it together with this one because this is annoying to say the least!

I have the same BT as you do and I couldn't be happier! The only gripe that I have is that the memory leak is still there but not as bad. I have several SPB apps, cube, and some other 3rd party goodies and all work great! I don't know if it helps, but this is the procedure that I followed to upgrade:

1.) Completed full upgrade and let the phone do it's thing with the Sprint extras install.
2.) Once completed, I did a hard reset on the device (pressing both soft keys and then reset).
3.) When the device started for the first time after the hard reset, I skipped the Sprint goodies install this time.
4.) Installed everything and set up Exchange.

This thing runs great now. I live in a 1X area with no roaming to speak of so I wouldn't know about the switching issues. No lock ups and the phone finally works normally!

I have to say, that I watch everyone posting these huge issues. I have to wonder how many of the problems are not being caused by mods and other programs installed. Ive been running the new Rom for about 4 days and have not had any problems what so ever. I have not been able to try BT yet because I dont have a BT headset, but I have not experienced any of the lockups or other problems people have noted.

Presently it is the stock install MINUS the sprint addons running the following:

A_C S2U2 0.86
Google Maps
TCPMP 0.72
Bluefrog Big button dialer
Vp3g HTC X Button 1.5
Nilisco Flashlight

Hey does Nilisco Flashlight actually use the screen, the the LED flash on the mogul? Im looking for a program that would be able to turn on a flashlight, after holding one of the side buttons.

I was using my screen as the flashlight until I found this program. The program uses the Flash LED on the back of the phone.

Its great, when you install it it puts three programs in your programs folder.

Flashlight = Run to turn on - Run again to turn off

Flashlight 30 = Turn on the light for 30 seconds

Flashlight 60 = Turn on the light for 60 seconds.

I tied mine into the Comm Manager button on the side of my phone (because the icon reminds me of a flashlight). Originally I had it set to just flashlight, but I think my battery was getting run down because I would holster my phone and accidently push the button. So now, I have the button set to flashlight 30. Only drawback to flashlight 30 is that it doesnt turn it off if you push it again, so you have to let it run for the full 30, or go into programs and run flashlight to shut it off.

Personally, I love it.

I did exactly that using the newest version of Sprite Backup:
Make backup -> unlock SPL -> load ROM 2.17 -> load Radio 1.40 -> Restore backup.

When restoring the backup, it will detect the different ROM version. Select ROM (I forget what the other choices are), and don't load databases. When I did load databases, the restore had errors. Without it, the restore was perfect.

It might show the old version number in the Device Info screen, but I know it is running the new ROM because of the version shown at the beginning of soft reset, and now my alarm works. Good luck.

The boot reported version and the release number under device info were in conflict on mine as well after restoring using Sprite backup, even when using their ROM update setting. Having nothing better to do I updated ROM again, restored via Sprite w/o letting it restore system values after this, both reported the same. Minor configuration work had to be done to bring it back to look and feel. Would it be correct to assume that the reported release number was in conflict between the firmware and some key in the registry? And, if so, could this manifest itself in performance of the hardware?

I also noticed that with this ROM it won't let me sync HTML based emails(the option in activesync is grayed out). So all emails i recieve are text only.

You need Exchange server 2007 for HTML email to work... This has nothing to do with the new ROM.

I have now confirmed that there is indeed a new PRL version 60611, this was mentioned a page or two back.

Upon updating the PRL, my phone now roams, and switches back WITH the 1.47.01 radio!!! I was experiencing the lock ups and eternal sleeps before....GIVE THIS A SHOT!! Before downgrading your radio to 1.40....
