Darkness, as I understand it if you restore from spb backup, you write back over the new ROM update. I did the update today and I now have access to the Sprint Music store, whereas prior to the update I saw the coming soon sign.
Awesome. I need to get tthis SPB program now.

Technically, you're not supposed to Restore after a ROM upgrade. Things can go extremely wrong. Nothing a Hard Reset and manual reinstall won't fix. However, I did restore, and things work great, including no reset loops, and better memory performance. I do not have access to the music store, but that is fine by me, as I hear song quality really sucks.

possible QWERTY keyboard problem after ROM upgrade?

Hi all, new Mogul and first time ever PPC owner.

I updated mine this morning and everything seems to have gone fine. I was having storage card read/write issues and updating the ROM fixed that up.

However, I've just come across a rather odd problem. Typing an entry into the Live Search app (downloaded from Microsoft's site) doesn't produce any letters from the QWERTY keyboard! You can type, but it's as if the blue function key in the lower left-hand corner is permanently on. Before this morning's upgrade, I was able to type in it without issues. Other applications installed so far don't seem to do this.

Just to be sure it wasn't something else I installed or altered with registry editing, I did the following:

-removed the program, did a soft reset, and then reinstalled it
-restored a "clean" spb backup file made just after I finished flashing the ROM and installed it
-did a hard reset, and then installed it

Exact same keyboard problem in all cases.

Has any one else tried running this program and come across this? Or do I have some weird Mogul issue?

Crap, mine does the same thing. When I type with keyboard it only types the function keys. but by holding down the blue dot key on my keyboard does nothing, it still types with all the function keys ie. ?/&2@1. I'm gonna try to uninstall and reinstall. Well I uninstalled and reinstalled the newer version (2.x) and still the same thing.

I applied the new ROM yesterday and so far everything's working fine. It could be an illusion, but I think the new ROM feels more snappy.

I can confirm that after a hard reset my LiveSearch does the same thing.

Anyone have an issue of the phone when it's locked for too long coming up w/ a password screen even if you didn't set a password?

It does that to me randomly.. I haven't derived a pattern yet, but I have to do a soft reset and the screen goes away.. (some security huh?)

So has there been any decision as to whether this improves memory or power or anything? Can anyone confirm this for sure?
