For those of you who have the Mogul this will be good for you.
Update: Mogul ROM Update to be Released Oct 22nd? - WMExperts

Quote:

It is now being rumored from DaSuper, a Sprint employee, over at The Buzz that Sprint will be releasing it’s first major ROM upgrade for the Mogul this month (one that does more than just add a music store) that will hopefully address the serious Bluetooth issues that have plagued the Mogul since it’s release.

Can it be true? Is the anticipated major ROM update for the Sprint Mogul (aka PPC-6800) really coming out before the end of this month (Oct 22nd to be exact)? If you are still waiting for Sprint’s promised ROM update for the PPC-6600 from over 2 years ago, then I understand if you have your fair share of doubts. This was originally rumored to release by the end of last month, so only time will tell.

Ugh, I don't believe any of these rumors. I will believe it when I see it.

budney · 10-10-2007, 1:45 AM

Same here! Plus I find it ridiculous that the only major improvement with this update is bluetooth, but no EVDO RevA which was promised when the Mogul launched

Yankees368 · 10-10-2007, 1:53 AM

be happy with whatever we get

budney · 10-10-2007, 9:41 AM

I will be very happy when a ROM Kitchen is out for the Mogul.

Gamer03 · 10-10-2007, 6:56 PM

I too will not hold my breath for this update. It would have been nice to get Rev. A and GPS with this update, but it looks like a slim to none chance of this happening.

AJE · 10-16-2007, 11:07 PM

This would be a welcome update as I have been having quality issues with my bluetooth car kit that hopefully this update will fix. It is the same issue as I have read elsewhere, the caller on the other end says I sound like I have a bad cell signal even though I have 3 to 4 bars. Hopefully not just a rumor. I may try to do some digging to see what I can find from my Sprint rep, but usually the reps are the last to know about this type of stuff.

budney · 10-20-2007, 3:07 AM

Well their are some custom ROMS out there, most use the newer Alltel WM6 ROM which seems to make the BT preform better. Like dcd's clean ROM I have been running the last few days with pretty good success.

budney · 10-23-2007, 8:58 PM

Better late then never!

The new update for the Mogul just popped up on HTC site today.

Yankees368 · 10-23-2007, 9:25 PM

YES! I just saw that a few minutes ago. I'm just finishing up the update right now. I will post back later witht he results.

Gamer03 · 10-24-2007, 12:22 PM

I downloaded the update, but I won't be able to install it until later tonight since I don't have time now. Be sure to back up all of your data since this hard resets your device. Still no Rev. A or GPS support with the update.

Yankees368 · 10-24-2007, 1:05 PM

It just seems like some minor updates. I will try bluetooth later tonight.

Gamer03 · 10-24-2007, 8:58 PM

Well I updated my Mogul with the latest rom. I am reloading my programs onto my phone right now and will test out the bluetooth in a little while.

UPDATE:

The bluetooth range is better for me and I hear less static when I am further away from my phone while using my Motorola H700 BT headset. Also, the volume through the BT headset sounds louder. I will test further tomorrow when in my car while driving on the interstate.

Yankees368 · 10-24-2007, 10:31 PM

Yeah, the BT issue seems to be fixed for me as well

BUT

now my phone locks up constantly!!!

I am getting ready to update mine now. However, mine has had problems coming out of sleep mode with the current ROM. It has not locked up in just normal operation though which is a pleasant change from the 6700 so hopefully it won't lock up that bad!

lking4 · 10-24-2007, 11:09 PM

I have the Mogul from Sprint and the Motorola H800 (Slider) and I just did the update. Still no bluetooth functionality. It will pair but when I try to use it the phone locks up and I can't hear anything on it/or them hear me. Can anyone please HELP!!!! I don't want to call and have an insurance replacement but it may boil down to that. Thanks in advance for any help.

The only things I can recommend are. A: hard reset B: reinstall the ROM C: revert back to the older ROM

I have not experienced any lock ups with my Mogul yet.

I will post some more later today after I had tested the bluetooth while driving on the interstate (the volume before the update was low and it was hard to hear someone) to see if the volume and reception has been improved.

AJE · 10-27-2007, 12:19 AM

Ok so I have not had any luck with this ROM. Here are the things that have happened so far:

- several times when hitting the "Windows" key and then I can't navigate with the "Navigation" pad. Try to go up and down no luck. This goes away after I put it to sleep and wake it back up
- The screen was messed up once. About a quarter of an inch at the top was just black. A soft reset fixed this.
- worst of all, the bluetooth with my car kit is worse! It doesn't seem to pair as quickly as before and when I recieve a call and click to answer, the car kit takes over (mutes the radio and number displayed on radio) however the call is still going through the phone's ear piece.

I have been trying to narrow down these but can't seem to find any pattern. I will give it a few more days and then I may try one of the custom ROM's. And if those don't work out, I guess it's back to the original which was pretty stable.
