well..stability seems fine...remember though, this is not an OFFICIAL release. I will test BT as soon as i leave work. GPS not working for me, even switched com4 and 9600-which locked google maps up. The included app lauches, but ultimately tells me GPS signal weak. Device does seem snappier, but of course this is after a fresh reset, with no junk installed yet. No sprint Tv included, havent tried OZ yet, but that probably wont work either. Rev.A definately seems to be working. No other problems yet...

Note..I never had any BT problems with any of the ROMS.

just keep trying- reboot your computer, and phone and try again...

if its saying cant find device try unplugging it and taking the battery off...replace it see if it sees the phone... it took me like 10 tries

You should always let the customization run the first time when you load a new ROM from your provider. It does things you don't see.

I just upgraded to this new version and everything is working without incident. The phone self-provisioned, GPS work.....AND evdo REV.A!!!!!!

I was getting 486/96....Now I get 1.1/854!!! WOOT!!!!

Thanks for the tip! This is my first ROM upgrade but yeah, I saw it doing a lot besides install bloatware. I'll probably play with it this weekend and then when I get home on Monday (where I can re-sync contacts) I will try a hard reset to get rid of Sprint stuff.

I can't get GPS to work with Microsoft Live Search....

Maybe I should go outside and try...

so far.. with this 'test only' ROM. I noticed that the BT and earpiece volumes are much louder.

Got the GPS to work! I had to stand outside in the freezing overcast cold (Minneapolis, MN) for about 5 minutes and suddenly it kicked on. I didn't stay long to verify exactly but it looked within about 50 feet from where I was standing. Very cool!

If your GPS is not working go stand outside away from walls for a good 5-10 minutes, make sure GPS is on and it should work.
