I also have tried and cannot download any cab files from the phone. Also like AnthroMatt said SPB hangs and will not load. I also notice that TOMTOM will not allow the gps to pick up unless it has been acquired via Livesearch or Google Maps first and one of the programs is still running. Also Weather panel gives you an error when loaded, something about invalid layout or waiting on the storage card. But seems to work fine once the layout has been changed.

I was able to load the new rom easy and without a hitch. after loading it seemed a little skidish and I have had to soft reset more than usual. GPS works great with iNav and googlemaps but takes along time to lock but once locked it seems to work good and stay connected even when I turn it off. I have noticed a DRAMATIC usage in battery life. I did expect to use more battery but this is extreme in my case. I had the battery at 100% at 7:45 and I turned on google maps and locked in the GPS. Took a 10 minute drive and went into the club for a swim, when I went in I turned off the mogul. I did not take any calls, no text, and I have yet to set up email. I also did not do any IE. At 9:45 when I came out of the club and turned on my phone I was already down to 60%!!!!

No RevA here. I'm in one of those "extra" Evdo areas where it actually comes from Alltel instead of Sprint even though you aren't roaming. No change in data speed that I've noticed. Slingbox works just like before...great.
GPS works good. Sometimes it is off by 100-150 yards at times but works good for a phone GPS. Even picks up inside some buildings. Here's the big kicker for me. With Rom 2.17 and PRL 60610, I can set the phone to Roaming Only and get EVDO service. After I load this ROM and it is still at PRL 60610, when force roaming I only get 1X. Using the ##DEBUG# I can see the phone sometimes pick up Verizon....attach...then it finds the Alltel SID and I'm assume it's preferred so it sticks to Alltel. Still 1X, I can see it hit channel 73 which is the EVDO channel and passes right on by. So basically when I go back to work next week I'll have 1X only instead of EVDO in the building since Sprint's signal stops at the door of the building. I'll definitely be bringing the older ROM to reflash so I can get EVDO back up. So fix the roaming issues in the radio and it'll be great! |

Loaded 3.16...WOW
Summary: the only things I would add to a bug list so far, if someone is compiling it, are the unfriendly ROM loader, and the DNS servers were set to all zeroes. As detailed below I am not seeing a lot of the issues that were reported in this thread on my device. Details: I have not put it through its paces yet, but first indications are great. I hope loading could be made more user-friendly; after it loaded the new BL it required me to unplug the device and remove/replace the battery. After it resumed I went to eat dinner, and when I came back it was done, so I don't know if it paused at any point after that. Since I was testing the Sprint ROM, I let all the customizations load. I went in to Phone>Menu>Options>Services>Internet and started IOTA manually, then I had to fix the MSID and MDN. I left SCI at the default of 2, and the True MCC and True IMSI were different but I left them to see what that would do. I have not noticed any effect. Sync thru WMDC on Vista seems blazingly fast after using it on the 2 series ROMs, but is probably actually the same speed as I used to get on my xv6600 and Activesync on Win XP. And the Mogul no longer seizes up during sync; I could actually use it at the same time it was syncing. GPS - I did not touch the External GPS settings, after all I was testing internal GPS, and iGuidance 3.0.1 popped to my location about 10 seconds after I set it to Com4 and 9600 baud. Latitude and longitude were rock solid, but my altitude was varying from about -50 feet to about 30 feet. I was indoors and locked onto 4 satellites. Turned the device off (sleep mode) and dialed it from a landline, it woke up and rang on the second ring heard on the landline, despite the fact that I left SCI at the default of 2. I set up my gmail account, works properly. I had some problems locating websites, so I setup the DNS servers (it was all zeroes) and the problem went away. The best download speed I could get on DSLReports Mobile Speed Test was 640 kb. That test does not indicate upload speed. I did not tether. Sprite Backup works properly, though I have not tried a Restore yet. The Mogul boots up quickly from a soft reset, and locks on to EVDO signal immediately. So far I am VERY happy with the ROM. |

Ive noticed that the internet drops sometimes. Its not like it used to be when the bit rate degrades,instead,it seems to be running perfectly,then nothing. It seems to be connected to windows mobile becoming unstable. When it happens the Xbutton icon at the top of the screen becomes corrupted and the phone becomes very sluggish and I cant start applications.
