3.16.651.0 IS real, and so is GPS - Link inside - NOT official release

[EtherealRemnant]

Mine only reset one time on me - 11%. It completed flawlessly after that - and this was Vista

And keep in mind that HTC emailed me saying that the Mogul does not have GPS capabilities. DAmn.. why did I delete that email. I wonder what else they are hiding.... "vid drivers?"

I was about to post about how the UI seems much smoother. Haven't tried video yet but the UI seems to draw quicker and I don't notice as much lag when scrolling on PIE unless I'm on a huge site like Engadget.

I may just go back for good, I haven't decided yet. The Touch is nice but I miss my wifi and my keyboard. Rev A and GPS may push me over the edge.... it was awesome to be sitting in my bedroom, pop open live search, click GPS, and see my exact position in the house show up in less than two minutes.

Only thing that sucks is my data provisioning isn't working - stupid error 1012

Anyone else believe this leaked ROM plays into htc/sprints favor for getting an initial reaction. Then over this weekend they can decide to release or not release the official ROM on the 28th.

Im still hoping they release one on the 28th as previously stated.

I don't think it plays into their hands for a number of reasons. Also, I was fortunate because my upgrade went flawlessly, but others have had serious problems. Until they make flashing the ROM more stable, they're asking for a flood of tech support calls. I think the 28th is too soon, for this leaked, I mean pre-release, ROM anyway.

Sprint is selling the Mogul as their top-of-the-line phone. For now, there's nothing they offer I'd want to buy (my fingers are too fat for the touch ). Why not have the phone enabled with all its capabilities? This may stop the bleeding of customer's we hear and read about, endear us to them and maybe entice others to Sprint. When a phone with a faster processor, more RAM and a higher resolution screen becomes available on Sprint, if it's not crippled because it wasn't fully enabled to utilize them, I'd buy it and pass the Titan to the wife .

damn, I haven't been to the board in awhile (because I just got a PS3 and all my leisure time goes to that)... then I check in and blaow!


Ok, since this ain't an official release and I'm reading there's people experiencing problems... I guess I'll sit back and be patient.


plus, I rather have a GPS update on my Touch. I am/will not go back to the mogul.



but damn, this is a very good look for HTC right now.

The rom date on this is 12/5. It's doubtful that this is the most current beta rom that is out. I'm sure there are many revisions of the beta roms inbetween releases. We just happened to get our hands on this one in the series.

I don't see much of a speed difference, but I haven't taken it to somewhere that I may have better coverage. GPS is working nicely though

I'm pretty pissed at this right now. 1 I cant get the GPS to work. 2. my sound doesnt work on it. 3. My contacts, emails, and text messages refuse to restore via sprite backup. 4. i can't reinstall 2.17 or go back. and ON TOP of this, the phone doesnt work either! DO NOT install this rom unless you can afford to screw your phone up.
