I have used PRL 30029 and was using 40029 as of this morning before initating OTA update which delivered 30031 to my handset. I had great success with 40029 (Columbia, SC region) and so far 30031 results the same. This PRL will get tested some more when I travel to Charleston this weekend (at which I always receive a flashing triangle; before the upgrade to no2chem's 3.16 rom & 3.27 radio my phone would nominally have a solid flashing triangle).
But I still have yet to discover any Rev. A service in this area as my speeds are around 332kbps up & 85kbps down. Still a far cry compared to the 1,075/232 combos I have seen elsewhere. I believe Greenville (upstate area) has Rev. A and has been noted on EVDOMaps.com.
I just updated to 30031 and will let you know how it goes. It seems the tower in my area goes down almost every night. West of Charleston in zip 29477

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)

Wrong, how could the PRL not effect the user.
VZW xv6800
Loader: 2.40
Radio: 3.39.10
ROM: DCD 3.1.2
I see lots of discussion concerning GPS and Bluetooth (BTW the 3.39.10 GPS aq. speed is awesome) but not so much about Data Connection. Maybe I’m just not looking in the right place or using the right search terms.
Not sure if I’m putting this in the right forum, but this seems to be upgrade related, and quite honestly, the caliber of posts here seems a bit higher than in the general Titan forum.
Since upgrade my Data Conn speed is a whopping 150Kb/sec. Ugh. I have tried it tethered, Bluetooth, PDANet, PAN, indoors and out. Even tested IE Mobile to http://text.dslreports.com/mspeed . Never got much above 150Kb/sec. I typically got ~600Kb/sec before I upgraded my radio.
Maybe I’m having a bad air week and pushing a low DRC, I’ll continue to test, but my question is this;
For the purposes of troubleshooting/testing, how can I tell if I’m getting an EVDO Rev A connection (I know it is available here)? Is there a way to turn off Rev A and force a 1X connection or vice-versa?
Anyone else having problems with Data Conn. Speed? I use this fairly frequently and while I am just euphoric over the GPS, I may run into a serious dilemma when professional stress demands a faster connection.
You have rev A. As for the data speeds hmm- is you phone possibly set to 1X only? To check go the the phone settings menu and under the 2nd tab it says Mode of Operation, click that
Was set to hybrid.
I tried with EVDO only. 177Kb/sec
1X gave 121Kb/sec.
Have set it back to Hybrid, icon shows 'Ev', but still not sure if it is Rev A.
Signal is strong, would hate to have to roll back to stock just to test if the problem is with the Radio. What speeds are others getting with Radio 3.39.10?
Edit- What I am thinking is that I am getting a Rev A signal and maybe it is more sensitive to SNR and dropping my rate. Thus I want to turn off Rev A to test. Then again, maybe I just don't know what I am talking about.
check your EPST settings. if RevA is ENABLED, change it to DISABLED. its a misnomer.
No such entry in EPST.
Also,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394977&page=2
Been there, done that.
Thanks for trying.
Tried both with same speeds
Just tried both settings and the speed tests had the same results.
I'm using Radio 3.39.10 and Rom3.39.10(Sprint), have the option to enable/disable Rev-A but my speed is still 419.40 kbps. no matter which settings I choose.
what location are you in?
are u sure its one of the locations that has reva?
what radio did you have before you updated to 3.39? did you let customizations run?
I upgraded for the first time about a week ago. I initially went to Radio 3.37 and ROM DCD 3.1.2 and the VZW CAB using the SD card method. Customizations ran after the DCD ROM flash. Everything works seemingly well, other than the slow Data Connection. Yesterday I flashed to the 3.39 Radio. GPS Acquisition went from 60+ sec to < 10 sec. No change on the Data Conn.
With Stock Radio I typically received at 600Kb. Now it is 150-170Kb.
I’m in the SFO bay area, but beginning to think that Rev A is a red herring. Don’t really know much about how Rev A works, but after reading a great deal about it, connecting to a Rev A equipped station should with or without a Rev A equipped mobile should not affect the connection speed adversely. One either has a strong and clear enough signal for the higher speeds or one does not. I am connecting via EVDO, just getting really slow speed for no apparent reason.
Tigueraje reports speeds of 419.40kbps with Ev or 1x. Wish I could get even that. BTW, 1x should not go that high, so was probably connecting to Ev both times. If you truly want to check your 1x speed, try a soft reset, or at least stop and start the data conn after changing.

Thanks, I'll look into that. Hope this is safe to do on a VZW phone. My PRI Version is 1.35_002 and my GPS is rockin', but I will proceed carefully.

i cant say that its safe on vzw. that post on ppcgeeks was a telus user...
sorry if i was misleading in my last post, i thought the OP was telus.
I haven’t done anything yet. After a rush to upgrade the Titan when I first got it, and many problems afterward, I have been proceeding very cautiously. I’m not confident that the PRI update will address my issue.
I just talked to a co-worker on VZW with a Treo 700wx. He is also having problems with Data Conn speed in my area. So, I think this is just coincidental to my upgrade. I will keep tabs on it, and if I can get down to Campbell this week (a verified strong Rev A area) I will test there.
Still curious about what speeds others are seeing with the 3.39 Radio. Anyone confirm Rev A (anything over 1024Kb/sec)? On VZW?
Alltel user here, just flashed to Radio 3.39 and have gotten two different download speeds of 1045.
Thanks for the info.
Just tested in San Jose, Ca (about 15 miles from Home) and got 927Kbps. Problem must be with the tower near home and coincidental to my upgrade.
927 0.204s (1024k) myvzw.com Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 7.11) 320x320; VZW; UTStar-XV6800; Window Mobile 6.1 Professional;
To clarify REV-0 VS REV-A
The download speeds you see when looking at EVDO will not be majorly different, it is the upload speeds that REV-A is most meant to address. REV-0 theoritical download speed is 2.4 mbps, and upload is 153.6kbps and this is shared bandwidth. REV-A is 3.5 down and 1.8mbps up. A DOM module will take from 1 to 4 T1s in and at the moment most VZW sites are running only 1 and some are running 2, so with a max BW of 1.54 mbps on a T1, you will not ever see the max download speeds of REV-A until 3 T1s or more are at the site, and like I said it is the upload that will be most different.
I am having problems. I HardSPL 2.10 OliPro and Black 3.01. I live in the houston area and every since Hurricane Ike, i have had problems with my reception. It will just totally drop for a couple minutes and then all of a sudden be full strength. I will do this serveral times a day. Or it may say it has no reception and is "searching" but i can send text messages but if i try to make a call it will say phone not ready. I know there is 2 newer version (i.e. 1.54.30.10 and 1.56.70.11. Wasnt i wasnt sure about is if those are compatible with the US network.
i found a thread on it finally and i saw some other people that live here in the US installed it.
I've looked around the site if anyone posted about it. But Since USCC put out there faster internet last December, I was wondering why my phone never seemed faster. After a brief walk in at one of the stores, they said i just needed to update.
They dialed *228 and after a minute or so that 1X turned into EV. After a download speed test on DSLReports, I'm at about 1M download and Latency at about 500ms
I'm still on the stock rom, I imagine that everyone else out there that's already updated theirs has been in the know.

Now if i can only get my gps to work.
I wish they would update my area! MidCoast Maine is still rural for 6 months of the year.!

You won't get GPS working with the stock rom....
However, as an FYI, if you do upgrade to a custom rom, you will have to fix the HDR login and password in EPST in order to get EVDO working again.
Which EVDO area are you in?

I promise this is the last of my n00bish questions.
Evo 3d on synergy nightly, rooted via official htcdev.com site, 2.3.4
from what i was understanding PRL versions 21XXX is ok. I have 21081, which is confirmed to be the correct PRL.
my cell service (the number of bars) has been less ever since the flash. has anyone encountered this, and is tehre a fix? I've read through as much as I could and nothing in the searches have pointed me in the right direction. places i usually have full service i get about 3 bars.
figured it out. seems like the newer radio does a power saving function. when on a call, signal jumps back up to what it usually is.
