I know Sprint says "soon", but has anyone heard rumors when we can expect the EVDO Rev.A upgrade for our Moguls?
i would like to know as well
I heard November, but that's optimistic. Might not be until Q1 08
According to some SPCS RF engeineers I spoke with at my corporate office the other week, EVDO Rev. A was turned on in my area on August 15th however they said it takes atleast 30 days to optimize the towers. So I'd expect sometime after Sept. 15th.
evdo rev a in your area has nothing to do with a mogul ROM.
Thanks folks. I guess we just need to be patient
Fingers crossed they add some more goodies to the upgrade (enabling GPS would be nice).
No GPS for the Mogul until 08.
hey, where are you getting this info from? I think that the Rev. A update should come out when the HTC Vogue drops for sprint, but I am not sure about the GPS, because Telenav has started selling an external GPS reciever for it(6800).
TomTom doesn't work now?
I read where people use like tomtom and garmin xt with a reciever and works fine? Is it that mogul just doesn't have builtin receiver?

It should have a built in receiver, it just isn't activated (or it may not have a GPS antenna). External receivers work just fine, but having it integrated would be much nicer of course.
i love how everyone seems to think they "know" when it's coming and what to expect. The fact is that there has been no official date or even an "official" estimate as to when we can expect it. Every person you ask has a different answer and everyone swears their source is legit. Well..... times ticking and no one's been correct yet.
On SprintUsers, one user is saying Oct 15th, for both Rev A and GPS to be added in the update.

My Sprint contacts once told me that the RevA update would come via a PRL? I'm not sure how that could be done but from reading here, it sounds like a bunch of bunk.

That is indeed BS.
It has to be through a radio rom upgrade, and those still can't be done OTA.
I suspect it'll be an an entire rom upgrade package that'll also take care of some bugs.
Rev A has been active in KC, Miami FL and a few other locations sense last years super bowl. 6800 is Rev A compatible and a PRL update will give you access to Rev A.
Well a new PRL came out at the end of last week, the version is in my sig, I don't think that's it though...

I simply don't believe that a PRL update is all it needs. It has to be enabled in the Radio, Rev.A has been in some cities for ages and it wouldn't make sense to not have it enabled in the PRL's of the mogul.
PRL is just a prefered roaming list... as an end user, you don't see any benefits. The Mogul (6800) already know which towers are Rev.A, it just doesn't take advantage of it... yet. The upcoming sw will update the radio to take advantage of Rev.A
I agree. I rom update is needed. I've heard from a Sprint rep they had planned on a Rev A. update for the Mogul 9/28 (but that might not be true, we all know how Sprint rep do)

yea, im dumping the tilt and going for the mogul. plans seems to be a lot better and phone is cheaper. I would like to know if it's a good time to buy this phone. I was reading something about the Rev A. I could have sworn i read something saying it's out and available. I live in Jersey City, NJ btw, if that helps somebody determine if my area has it. Also, I also read it will have GPS. As far as I'm concern, it has that 911 chip inside that cops use to locate you or the satellite actually tracks where you are with it. Sprint uses that for their GPS service. So... should I buy the phone now or wait for an upgraded one, if there is an upgraded one?
1. No GPS native. I use a BT receiver and it works great.
2. It should be available all over.
3. No Rev A until 2008 (based solely on rumors...no facts to its rollout have been officially released).
4. I think you are crazy for trading a Tilt for the Mogul. I walked into an AT&T store to see a Tilt and I am jealous...

You can have the neatest phone in the world, but if you can't get a signal, it's useless!
I had some cool GSM phones on AT&T's network, but even with a 3g card on a 3g phone, barely ever got a usable signal, and oftentimes averaged less than 10kbs - yes, slower than dial up!
BTW, this was from pretty large suburbs outside Detroit...
I guess you are right...I was looking at it more from a purely phone perspective...
Ill trade you my mogul for your tilt! (used for a month, never activated, perfect condition, etc)... <3 128MB
I've been modifiying PDA phones for a while now but this is something I can't get over/should have expected from Sprint. GPS is present yet unusable on my Titan. I just now unlocked my titan and flashed to dcds 1.5.7/1.40.0 and I am hoping to be able to use the GPS with tomtom 6.
The thing that puzzles me is I read a post stating an indiviudal was using tomtom 6 on his mogul! how did he do it?

he must be using a bluetooth gps device
so for now there is no way out? Is there any revision of this phone (Alltell, etc.) that has GPS enabled for application use?
av0, let's set the record straight here for a moment.
The mogul uses new hardware- chips that haven't been seen inside of Windows Mobile devices before. These chips allow services that haven't been available before either, such as EVDO rev. A and possibly assisted GPS.
Now, these chips may be capable, and HTC may be able to write drivers for it, but Microsoft never released the proper modules to control and take advantage of them. So, in the case of Rev A, we're waiting for MS to update some of their code so that HTC can release a new firmware, which will then be distributed to Sprint, Alltel, VZ, etc...
But for now, we have to play the waiting game. It doesn't exist on ANY carrier just yet!
Now, the GPS is the same thing... this particular GPSOne chip is new to the windows mobile scene. It supports some pretty nifty modes, including real stand alone GPS with an assisted mode- IE, uses the tower triangulation to get an even faster fix, then switch over to standalone mode (as opposed to the traditional way which is currently found in some PPCs, in which getting the initial fix can take up to 5-10min). Its in the chip specs to do this, but as far as I know MS's GPS modules only support standalone GPS information (no assisted faster fix), and its only been a rumor that Sprint/HTC would actually take advantage of this capability anyway. Either way, the phone was released before Windows Mobile was ready to use these higher-end features. We're waiting for them to catch up.
In the mean time, they removed GPS from the advertising, and Rev A has always been "coming soon".
Sit back. The rest of the phone finally works great now (thanks to 2.17 ROM, and a lot of great custom roms based on it), so one thing at a time. This great phone is going to get even better soon!
Concerning GPS...
Our Titans have the chipset for it and according to this FCC document, some of us (excluding Sprint Moguls) may have the antenna as well.
Someone in this thread extracted an Italian version of Kaiser's GPS files which I installed one morning and after playing around with it for about an hour, I couldn't get anything going. My Titan is cradled next to a large window all day and by early afternoon, I noticed a GPS icon in my top bar. When I picked up the phone, it went away and I was never able to reproduce it. I have no idea if it means I was receiving a GPS signal, but I'm hoping developments in activating the Touch Dual's GPS could lead to a working solution for Titan.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Touch Dual have the same chipset as the Kaiser?
The Titan uses a slightly modified Qualcomm chip for CDMA, and as such it should not be any suprise that the drivers from the GSM chipset don't work.
I'm of the opinion that the GPS control part of the chips are not the same because of the way CDMA uses the Assisted part of AGPS. Trying to port drivers from another existing device is a fruitless effort as no one has yet written drivers for our particular chipset.
THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.
Just sit back and wait for Sprint or someone to release it first. Then we can start porting it to all the other devices with this chip.
good bit of info on this thread. thanks guys

** Correct.
if this new update from sprint/htc brings rev a and GPS, will that make it possible to enable the GPS on the verizon xv6800 (by flashing the rom or whatever it takes)
OMG the doors to the heavens above have opened.
I'm not even asking for that much! I just want the phone to not lockup and I want to hear my callers on bluetooth! This phone was so rushed out the door is shows bad.
I recently upgraded to wm6.1 and added the agps fix which has been great. However, my network speed doesn't seem to have picked up the way I was hoping for, maybe I was expecting too much, with the Rev A upgrade. I live in Charlotte, NC and have verizon service which I believe has a Rev A network so my question is, Is there a way to check and see if I am indeed running on the Rev A network? Have I missed a step other than just applying the upgrade?
Basically you wont see too much immediate improvement, but The most reliable way I know of to show you are using Rev.a is to tether and run a speed test. Look at the upload speed and if its over about 112kbps, its Rev. a.
But if you are on Verizon's network and have evdo coverage, you have rev.a capability. Speeds depend too much on tower traffic and how many/what kind of lines connect the tower to the net. Just rest assured it is working when available.
Ok, thanks for your help
Visit www.dslreports.com/mspeed using PIE
Make sure you have 4 bars with EVDO to get the most accurate results
You should get speeds at and upwards of 800kbps (I routinely get 900+ and sometimes bursts above that)
maybe....

You can look here for radios. But you should read as much as possible before flashing a radio.

Also try updating your profile and prl and see if that helps. Or try a data reset.

correct. I suppose it is possible, but no one has figured it out yet.
Agreed.. I don't think us HBOOT 1.5 guys can flash radios yet. Another thing to try, if you haven't already, would be to install the Open Signal app. It'll give you your radio signal strength in dbm and even plot your current tower's position on a map. Great app although it is a bit of a resource hog with all of its radio polling.

You might do better to flash a PRL. Safer and can lead to better signal without even changing the radio. Lots of people on here think they know it all and will tell you the PRL only affects roaming signal, but dont listen to them as they probably havnt tried changing PRLs and have no idea what they are talking about. Flashing PRL 00001 fixed my signal at my apartment by connecting me to the Verizon towers without being on Roaming mode. And 01337 gave me a little bit better signal in my apartment over 00001, even though I dont appear to be connected to Verizon towers anymore. Lots of people really like 11115 and I am going to try that next as it should be the best for signal since it uses both Sprint and Verizon towers equally and gives full 3G on either company's towers.
To flash a PRL you will need to be on a Sense ROM that has the extended EPST.apk installed. Put a PRL you want on your SD card, dial ##775# and put in your MSL code. From there you just select which PRL you want, press menu and then commit changes. Reboot and your good to go.

Actually my friend, I appreciate you trying to help me but in this case I will help you out.
I did tho PRL trick a year ago on my regular Evo. About 4 months later, I received a letter from Sprint stating that "even thou roaming is free on sprint, due to the overage roaming that I have used, they will terminate my services if my habits don't change in a month." Well I tried my best to change them but i guess they weren't satisfied and terminated my services. I had to call and beg and go on a 90 probation period where if I went over the limit by even 1min/mb, they you disconnect me. So I'll never do prl again. Instead, I downloaded this app called Roam Control and only use it when i'm waiting for an important phone call.
Radio on the other hand is a signal from Sprint and will not put you into roaming.
Aren't the radios loaded in the RUU? Can't you just run that and then unlock again with htcdev?

Well, I am not entirely certain that the radio is loaded into an RUU. Someone recently told me that the RUU would not change the radio version of your phone.
The thing is,the Hboot 1.5 folks cant revert to a pre HBoot 1.5 via RUU anyhow, so no one can try it. And while there are two RUU's available to Hboot 1.5 people. (2.08.651.2 & 2.08.651.3) They both have the same radio. So I can't run one over the other to compare radio versions before and after the RUU. Once a new update gets pushed with a different radio version, I could run the RUU to see if the radio flashes with it.
The one way I would think it is possible to switch radios is to re-lock the device, run an RUU to unroot, then accept an OTA to get an updated radio. Once you take the new radio via OTA, you would use HTC unlock again to unlock, flash a custom recovery, flash the SU binary and voila.
This of course is contingent that HTC doesnt backtrack on their unlocking promise. If you took an OTA and the new update is unable to be unlocked via HTC, you would be screwed. So we would want to make sure that they dont push an update that they wont support with the HTCDev tool. And of course the other flaw to this is that you can only "upgrade" the radio and never revert to a prior radio that you may have liked better.

I didnt ever say that though, that was some other guy. I cancelled my service by myself about 7 months after this post because I moved to Verizon since I was using their network all the time anyway. Sprint service is just too ****ty in my area. And not just cell/data coverage either, but text problems on their network were the worst I have ever seen. But I never had any problems from Sprint about data usage or things like that. The person who said Sprint contacted them about roaming usage must have been using multiple gigabytes of data each month, I normally only use 500MB-1GB at most unless I am tethering something.

So I was ready an article that was released this morning http://blog.chron.com/techblog/2012/06/sprints-lte-network-launching-very-soon-in-houston/ and was curious... does this mean that our custom ROMS will not be LTE compatible for some time after this upgrade occurs.
"Sprint is already selling LTE-capable devices, such as the HTC EVO 4G LTE, but they can’t yet access the LTE network, even though it’s already active. Before that can happen, Sprint will push out a small upgrade to owners of those devices that will allow it to use the LTE network."
If that's so, it'll be up here for download on the same day, I'm sure.
It will still work with custom roms. I was on charmeleon Rom and LTE was working for me
Sent from my EVO LITE using XDA-Premium
Yeah, worst case someone will probably get a stock rooted version of it up the same day and the devs around here will integrate that code into their roms pretty quickly, at least a lot of the devs here seem to be really good about updates so far.
I'm sure the only thing that will update will be the PRL and maybe profile. I doubt there would be any software updates.

The LTEVO says hello!
the current software connects to LTE as it is. sprint has most of the LTE sites blocked.
I know the galaxy nexus shipped with LTE disabled in software but I've seen enough evo users showing LTE speed tests to know it's already enabled on the evo.

This tool doesn't know what he's talking about.
Sprint just needs to change the tower ID and your phone will see it. Right now they have most all LTE towers with a testing flag so your phone doesn't see it.
A few have been slipping through the cracks without a testing flag which is why you see random speed test reports showing up.

There's more to it than that. True, our phone can pick up lte once they remove the flag, but there are still issues with it. The phones still hadn't passed sprint testing when they were released, but since all of the issues were related to lte, they decided to release it anyway, and push out an ota once lte goes live.
I honestly do not think it will be a ota as it will be more of a profile n prl update. A ota would require a lot of time for HTC and sprint to get one around. As the other guy said the dudes a tool.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
he may be a tool, but an ota isn't as far fetched as you might things based on the internal testing docs.
It seems to be that Sprint has decided to proceed with distributing the EVO LTE before the LTE connectivity issues are solved. They probably will be correcting the issue via an OTA (Over-the-Air) Update. Notice that the EVO LTE timeline is marked in yellow, meaning "Risk with Mitigation." Could the mitigation employed be a future OTA?
If this is the case, this seems to be a smarter solution than to delay the shipment of the EVO LTE. After all, if the only issue with the device is maintaining a connection to LTE signals. And if that can be corrected with a software update, why not push them out now? 99% of their customers are not located within coverage of On-Air LTE sites at the moment. And Sprint is blocking access to LTE now at any rate, as we have reported. In fact, it may be the very reason why Sprint is blocking access to the LTE network.
I asked all of this speculation with the source, and he said he only knows what he sees in reports (which is all we know, too). And the last report he has seen says the LTE connectivity issue will be resolved with a software fix. But he is unsure how and when it will be implemented. But he is skeptical that the fix is already in the devices scheduled to be shipped next week based how he just learned that a fix was discovered the end of last week.

Now will there be an OTA to address LTE issues? quite possibly so. BUT that doesn't mean that there will have to be an OTA to use LTE when it goes officially live either.....which is what that guy is spreading there...

I suppose so - I don't know for sure that Sprint will be pushing out an ota like the article stated. I just think its very plausible, based on those testing docs. They've been working on the documented lte connectivity issues, and had a fix for them since what, early may? There haven't been any ota's yet, so that fix hasn't been rolled out yet. I don't know how that fix will get to our phones other than an ota update.
I just don't think it will be as simple as removing the testing flag from the towers. Had they not posted the lab reports, I might think otherwise, but I think we'll all be getting an ota in the near future.

Lots of people have been able to connect, even with stock (as I understand it) - but that doesn't necessarily mean that all of the issues have been resolved. Who knows whats going on behind the scenes. And yes, I'm jealous. I'm the second round though - I should be getting lte in the next 6-8 months (hopefully).

No one is doubting an OTA to fox whatever lte issue is there....but in no way will the OTA be req to connect....we've already debunked that thought...

Dur, you're right. I was focusing on the word use instead of access, and then got cought up in the thread.
This may be totally off the wall, but could the OTA have anything to do with the embedded SIM in our device that is require to access LTE?
And fachadick, I'm not even on the list...Cleveland is the closest they come this year....ugh
