Anyoen else having problems with ROM 2.09.651.3 radio: 1.32.00 with Sprint? When I use .NET applications like ConnectWise and open the keypad, it types in symobols and is a known issue with, HTC, Sprint, ConnectWise.
I called Connectwise and they have their patch ready, but are awaiting the ROM upgrade from Sprint to test. I called Sprint and the awesome TS lady told me that you never have been able to upgrade ROM on any phone... ever... I promptly hung up on her and called HTC. They said they Sprint develops the firmware and HTC has already "given" it to them. Contacted Sprint again, and they said it was a known issue with the phoen, but have no clue when the ROM will be updated....
I know you all have better connections then I do, obviously if I am calling TS for Sprint, and was wondering if anyone knew when the enxt version of Firmware is comming out. I could care less about the GPS, I do care about EVDO Rev-A and various other fixes.
This is a huge problem... anyone else having these issues with .NET programs on their Sprint Mogul?
check out the Hard-SPL thread in this forum. then you can load an alltel rom and i can confirm that the .net 2.0 keyboard problem is fixed. Also, the radio version in that rom is 1.40. If you have any problems you can always go back to the sprint rom so give that a shot.

Have you tried the alltel rom yet? Im curious as to whats different from a sprint rom (besides the sprint junk) because I hear it has working (better) pic messaging and a few other updates compared to sprints current one...
There is a thread on ppcgeeks where they compare the two. dcd posted a pretty long write up in one of them.
I have read quite a few threads over at ppcgeeks, and it still didn't help me out. What are the downfalls of the Alltel ROM? Does it in fact work with picture/video mail, what are the downsides of the Alltel ROM? If I have a problem with the phone, how do I get support or CAN I get support with that ROM?

As far as I've read so far, people seem to like the Alltel ROM better and prefer it over the Sprint one. It is a newer version OS than the one currently on the Mogul so it's probably a little better. I've been told that MMS does work in the Alltel ROM with a reg tweak for it to work with your carrier. As far as support, what do you mean support? Do you mean from Sprint? I wouldn't take your phone in to Sprint for repair/replacement with an Alltel ROM loaded on it. I don't think that would fly too well. No worries though, if you need to get support for you phone, you can always flash back to an OEM ROM.
Hope that helps!
Any word if it fixes sprints bluetooth fiasco?

I just purchased a HTC Tytn (unbranded). I have so many questions and can't seem to find the answers. First, does anyone know a program that will update the clock with the network without doing the At&t rom update. Second, Will it hurt to do the at&t update to my phone or will I loose the voicedial function and 2nd video cam ect. Is the ms voicedial ver 1.6 worth it. So many more I'll make another thread later. By the way thanks for the forum. You all are great and I hope to learn alot.
I am on cing/att and using an unbranded tytn... i have also flashed the official att rom on it (yes, its wm5, but i needed PTT)... anyway, smartdial is there, but you will lose video calling (which att dont support anyway) but the fron cam will still function, i used atek software's cool camera to prove the drivers were still on the phone and working.. and i dont use MS VC 1.6 so i cant answer that one...
Tytn vs 8525
Shogun, Thanks for the info. I don't need the PTT. I do like the auto update feature for the clock using the network though. So far I like the phone, (I'm just starting to get used to it. Can you remap the PTT. I will start doing a lot of international flying soon and needed the unbranded phone. Does the At&t service determine the video or can 2 people with a tytn and a 3g signal just start video calling? So many questions!

Not sure about the auto-update feature and working on other roms... but they should support it..
The PTT can be remapped, use a different rom, or search for sleuth's PTT fix.
The video calling is dependant on the dialer on the phone (in the rom, or installable otherwise), it requires a certain dpadmenu.dll in order to work, but if your ATT its not going to work anyway.. it is provider dependant.. and 3G dependant
Hey all..
I recently switched from Qwest to Verizon and they gave me a Blackberry 8330.. needless to say, we didn't get along - the Blackberry and I - so they sent me the XV6900 and now I'm wondering what all I can do with it
I used to run DCD's roms on my Qwest Mogul, but had to warranty replace the Mogul and when the new one came, Qwest released the GPS enabled ROM.. so, I used it with that stock Qwest ROM for a bit and lost touch here.
Questions:
I was talking to a few people about GPS (I want to use my TomTom 6 subscription on my XV6900) and they said they I could flash one of several ROMs available here but that I would not be able to flash back to the stock Verizon Wireless ROM should I need to.. is this true?

What is the most stable GPS enabled ROM available for the XV6900, if any?

Will I lose any functionality if I choose to use an 3rd party ROM on my XV6900?

Basically, the only things I'd like to 'fix' about my XV6900 are; I'd like it to use less resources & I'd like to use the internal GPS chip, if possible.
Thanks in advance, and.. please bare with me guys! I'm not completely new to this, I just couldn't find exact nswers to my questions when I searched.

I personally use Ghettoryder's ROM over at PPCGeeks. I like it because it maintains the ## codes, but you can also use the BuildOS app to cook your own ROM. In short, most of the GPS ROMs will not cause you to lose any functionality.
I'm lovin' my Rev. A and GPS here on Sprint.
Has anyone tried MR2?
http://www.pcdphones.com/phone_downloads.aspx?bid=89&cid=1&mid=287&carrier=Verizon Wireless
I think something in the update locks out the aGPS fix. But I don't know much else. I have had to tell people to downgrade to get the gps to work after going to MR2.

hmmmmm, interesting. I would kill to ge the Titan back so I can see what this thing is all about.
From what I have read, they are going to lockdown aGPS and open up regular GPS.
edit: wrong post
I wish someone is brave enough to download MR2. I like MR1 and installing the Valhalla cab was simple. Wondering if I can do the same with MR2.
edit: Looks like the cab does not work with MR2

Verizon updates mostly restrict the phone. Some have tried the MR2 update and say it kills the agps. So just stay with MR1 or go custom.
MR2 works with aGPS as long as you use GC's fix, however, you will not have internet sharing, and other options. I would use DCD 3.2.6
i've downloaded and used MR2 and everything stills works Vahalla Server, google maps, live search aMAZE GPS, internet sharing, wifiRouter, etc.
I just got a replacement phone because of reception problems, and it has MR2 preinstalled. Also everything I have installed as post above, works fine...
I asked tech support about it and they said they didn't know the differences from MR1. That was the answer I expected.... They also said there will be another update real soon called MR3. Although real soon in verizon language could be 6 months
I wonder what this is all about?
I kinda doubt a MR3 update since they stopped selling the xv6800
im getting my new xv6900 via fedex today, should be waiting when i get home. questions are
1. should i reflash before activating or anything??
2. is there a deffinate tutorial for flashing theses??? do i still use my ppckitchen software???
i have flashed my 6700 a bunch of times, but i never had to mess with different radios or anything like that, or even unlocking i dont think.( its been a while since). anyways just wanting to get GPS workin for sure, and hopefully WM6.5 and android.
kinda excited!
thanks

and i thought i looked all over. huh
also, what do you all think of the keybard, or lack there of?
will any rom do QNC and GPS ? i have read that its a broken DLL and others that 6.1+ will and wont support QNC or Q2C
i having a hard time finding any info relating on the roms out there/here.
i want/need a rom that will do GPS(no data or thru QNC) and QNC (real QNC not DUN or "free" and alot of minutes with bone slow net). keep the wifi and bluetooth available.
not needed but would be nice if windows was well trimmed and speedy (unless WinMo is less of a hog than normal) and replaced with like opera mini and a lite player that doesnt get chatty with the mothership. maybe a mini game emulator for fun like MESS (but good) but that maybe hard to find
i will be doing per minute on page plus and REAL data is not in the budget and i expect to use xv6800 on IM and email mostly maybe find a weather and such not exactly heavy data use. being a former crapfone customer anything will be a improvement.
thanks a heap in advance .. if anyone can confirm it working on a release ROM or suggest a ROM that might meet what i need GPS, QNC, wifi
Moved as not ROM Development.
aye but directly related to rom devolpment and its effects on phone features
But your question is not related to discussion on a specific rom. And I haven't heard of anyone using a mogul for qnc. All new rom are gps capable with a radio of 3.xxx
the 6.0 winMo works for QNC but no GPS. 6.1+ may have a problem with the QNC.
since the main reason to flash cooked ROMs is to unlock features or make REPAIRS or improvements . the main question is do any of these ROMS 6.1+ address the fixes that i want, namely GPS and QNC along with other percs like trimmed and speeded up OS.
i suspect since there was greater problem with QNC on 6.1 that it was broken by vzw to force us to pay an aditional 30$ ++ for high speed, i know right vzw wouldnt disable features to make people pay a extra monthly fee... thats why i asked in the ROM section as i wanted to know if that was addressed
as for not knowing anyone using the titan mogol 6800 for QNC lmao. if it wasnt for QNC i doubt people would buy such old phone .. a ENV or touch pro can be had for about the same $
and if i was asking about a specific ROM i would place it in the thread related to that ROM.
I haven't seen discussion on qnc. Just unlock your phone try a rom like dcd 3.3.4. If it doesn't work with qnc then go back to you present rom.
