Looks like 800w isnt rev a enabled out of box

Be careful about making the change. Some people on WMExperts.com reported having issues of phone not ringing and not receiving any texts when they made the change. The 800w's are already using Rev.A.

what about signal strength on the 800w is there a way to improve that. I work in a building where only AT&T users get good signal, even with my phone on roaming there's no change.
My co worker has the Treo 650 (sprint) and gets full bars throughout the building. any ideas on what i could do to increase my signal bars?

I just got my 800 yesterday and stumbled across this post.

I can conform that even though the 800w does use RevA, it isn't turned on my default. I got mine from telesales.

I toggled the "Enable RevA" setting while testing the speed and the phone's ability to accept calls and text messages. With the setting unchecked (default) I was getting about 400-500k download and 80k upload. With the setting checked, I got 700-800k down and 200k up. I'll leave it checked for the next few days and let everyone know if there is any adverse effects on stability.

How did you toggle the setting? Where do you have to go to do this? Thanks.

So, my ringer doesn't work now. I tried hard reset, still doesn't work. Ideas?

I figured it out. Reset and uncheck and set to automatic.

When you did make the change, did you just check the "Enable RevA"? I did that and left the other setting to automatic and it works great so far.

Tried again and it keeps going to forced. Done playing. It's fast enough.

I can confirm that after a couple of soft resets, that the ringer was gone! The only thing that my phone would do when I got a call was vibrate. I tried digging up my old phone alarm activation and trying to change the ring profiles with that. The only thing that worked was to uncheck the "Enable Rev. A", hard reset and start over. All is back to normal now.
