1. when you are using REV A - does it show A or REV (when you are in evdo - it shows EV) - just curious if it displayed. reading posts, it sounds like many people are getting faster speeds.

2. GPS - do i need to buy an external reciever to get turn by turn directions. I have the vision pack that includes sprint navigation. can i use this or google maps and get turn by turn directions WITHOUT an external reciever.

3. I havent seen many people talk about volume. Can you hear people better with the new rom?

this question was asked before but i didnt see the answer.
4. when using GPS (turn by turn directions) - can you recieve phone calls?

This is a GREAT source of information and have spent hours and hours reading various posts about all sorts of stuff.

From reading posts from this site, I was able to use getspc to get my msl code, have made many registry changes, replaced audiopara.csv file to fix phone volume, got mms, threaded sms to work and have found many AWESOME programs like HTC customizer that allow you to use different backgrounds,icons etc.

Im not confident enough to try the upgrade. I have had my phone for about a month now and have learned alot BUT i know i have ALOT more to learn.

Thanks for all the people that do post on this site and has made it what it is. i appreciate people sharing their knowledge with noobies like me. one reason I bought the mogul was because of this site. There is so much information and so many cool things a person can do with their phone.

Lets see if I can hit these before somebody else does;

1) No special indicator of RevA, still just shows the EV icon. But by the fact that i've hit 1.6mbps down, 700kbps up, and latency verying from 90ms to 120ms, I know that it is.
2) The GPS receiver is built into the phone, this update "activates" it. So you don't need an external receiver.
3)Haven't made any calls since I started messing with it other than a test call to a voice menu system, it seemed about the same.
4) Since people can use GPS with their phone part disabled, I'm sure you could use them both at the same time. It would seem logical anyway. The GPS is not tied to the Phone Chips (what's the word I'm looking for there?)
