I did and I am very happy. My bluetooth call issues with sound routing through wired audio out have resolved and my gps is still super fast. My GPS is just as fast as the new rom after I reverted back. Not sure if something stuck from the new rom update somehow but my GPS locks in places it never did before with 2.3.2 and is sooooo much faster. I get a lock in about 5-10sec inside my house without a window nearby. Very cool. And, my data speeds are faster with 2.3.2 and 3.27 radio than with the new official rom update or dcd 3.0.1. obviously YMMV.
2.32 was terrible for me. Data drops ftl. BT (at least with my headset) was terrible (i mean unusable)
3.01 has been great. No way I'd run 2.3.2 again (hell i dropped it and ran 1.70.

Agreed. My BT was a train wreck on 2.3.2. 3.0.1 is the best ROM I've seen yet for this phone.
Nope. 3.0.0 is working fine.... not perfect but better than the previous version.
hail no!

BT was kind to me on 2.3.2, havent tried taking a call with 3.0.0 but music plays fine in my s9 headset, but the data drops on 2.x were intolerable, every 10 minutes it drops, IM+ reconnects and aim tells me my screenname is signed on from 2 locations, lol

Lets face it. The new radio sucks horribly. The leaked Rom is very bad as well. Countless problems for almost everyone. Has anyone extracted the gps drivers? I would kill to go back to the 2.17 sprint rom with the gps added on.
Won't work you need the new radio, and rom.
Mine is working without any problems, and the radio is great.

well, the new radio is a BETA after all. and i havent had any problems with it. The new radio is what enables the GPS in the phone, and the 3.16 based roms have the drivers that are needed for gps. so these go hand in hand. you need em both for gps.

No problems for me, works great and couldn't be happier with everyones work on getting the GPS and Rev A to work. I appreciate all the work that people are putting in to get all this going. I guess you'll just have to wait until your carrier releases their updated ROM with GPS enabled, maybe that will be less problematic for you.
I am betting when this is released there will be a newer radio, this is a beta and the radio is at least a couple of months old, I am sure they have done some tweaking since then, at least if they are seeing the same issues one would hope they have tweaked a bit more here and there.
Same goes for the rom piece of it it is an old beta as well they are both 2 months old, so whatever Sprint and/or HTC has been doing for the past 2 months is unknown.
You Sprint folks should all be happy to me it seems Sprint is the only provider that gives half a rats ass. On Telus the last rom came out back in the beginning of July and none of the other Canadian providers that carry this phone have provided any updates whatsoever.
As Fallingup said this is a beta and the issues we are seeing from the radio patch exhibit normal BETA behavior...
Hell even HTC is convinced the Radio isn't ready for Primetime and keep delaying the release! That says to me they have hit some roadblocks they are having trouble dealing with.
It would not surprise me at all if HTC consciously decided to leak this radio so that the community could take a crack at solving those issues and give them some ideas on how to fix the patch.
I am hoping someone in the community is looking at this beta version of radio and looking for ways to improve that....
Cause I'm betting the second someone can tweak that radio to work well, HTC will take that file and use it as a roadmap for an official release!

Some people have terrrible issues. Some have none at all. I have no problems at all. This is the best set up I have had. I am using the new Radio and Bootloader with a variation of DCD 2.2.0 ROM. Working great. What specific ROM are you using?

the actual results are somewhere in between...the ones with zero issues either don't use data connect extensively or haven't really run everything through it's paces. How could they the ROM is only a day old! LOL
Others just have issues with the 6.1 OS and still others have issues just flashing. The latter is simply user error and that will always be there no way around that. You have to know those issues will show up even if the perfectly stable ROM gets released.
The Radio is IMO definitly not ready for prime time. between the BT issues, Data Connect and the problem of having to prime the GPS before a navigation software like TomTom can use it there will have to be another update to the radio ROM before we can be sure we gain GPS capability without losing anything else...
Right now Radio appears to be a bit of a tradeoff as opposed to a simple feature addition.
Once an official (as opposed to leaked) radio comes out I think all the REAL problems people are having will go away.

That would be funny as hell. Imagine if they ended up using a Radio that someone here on XDA-Dev was tweaking!! I hope they get commisisons

As far as I know nobody here on XDA Dev has actually tweaked a Radio. People put together firmware files from other stuff, and bundle them all together, but to actually fix and recompile a radio file goes much deeper than anyone here handles.
I have had only one problem running dcd 2.10 and 2.20. I have run critically low on memory once. This has never happened before.
But as for the radio and OS, I think my call quality is noticably better than with the stock rom or any of dcd's 1.x rom/radio setups that I have tested.
Oh, just FYI, I'm in Utah. I wonder if the radio issues have to do with a difference in radio hardware on the towers in New Jersey.
After reading for several days and hearing the good the bad and the ugly I opted for the straight leaked rom. No unlocking and all that.
Well so far so good. GPS works, RevA not a real difference so far
Fairly stable. Happy with my beta software until the official release

Yup, me too.
As a matter of fact, I'm not going to go to DCD's 2.2.1 until this current flash (on my phone) bombs. 2.2.0 is working great for me.
For those who claim to have no problems...
Try downloading a file larger than 1 MB in PIE or Opera...
The issue has NOTHING to do with DCD's work...
Definitly the Radio...
There only problems I have seen with the 2.2X Roms DCD has put out is some issues with installing programs on the storage card...
But if I know DCD that will be fixed rather quickly.
Havent really seen this talked about lately... is anyone still getting it where the internet drops connection on the hour every hour with 3.16? Is there a work around for this yet, or is this as I suspect a "bug" with the test rom and is possibly meant for this to do it until an official release?
i have the 3.16 rom but *knock on wood* havent had any problems with it yet....been using it for 2 weeks so im not too sure.
I've had the same problem and apparently a fews others too. But I don't think enough people are having issues to warrant a "fix". Sucks to be us...
I've seen similar behavior (although with not such regularity that you're reporting.) From what I've read here and at ppcgeeks.com it sounds like an issue with the radio rom and not with any of the builds. I'm hoping that a new radio rom is released soon that will eliminate this behavior.
Of course I'm tethered right now posting this so it's not behaving too badly for me.
I have also found that some websites (when tethered) will not open at all for me. Yahoo mail and hotmail are the two the immediately come to mind. They resolve in DNS, I can ping them but they won't open in my browser when I'm tethered.
Yeah, when I use the 3.27 radio I have internet problem. It cannot keep connection so I will have to restart connection often. This cause me trouble with corporate VPN so it cannot use WinMo 6.1 + 3.27 radio. I wish I can use WinMo 6.1 with 1.40 radio, but I think it isn't possible, maybe. WinMo 6.1 is no crash at all in one week... so stable, but WinMo 6.0 crash five time a day. Still, can't use 6.1 cause I can't use my VPN.
We need a better radio, I think radio is trouble with internet. Maybe use 6.0 WinMo and 1.40 radio instead. Until work around anyway.

I wish I know how to cook a ROM so I can do that lol
I know this might be a long shot but do you think the radio version and the earlier models of the Mogul could have the effect... I ordered and got mine the first day it came out.... maybe the newer ones are coopertaing better with the new radio? This is a far shot as I would think all the parts/chipsets are the same...
Got mine in late summer. With the "stock" 3.16 beta streaming audio is almost impossible. In both Resco and Mundu radio I can't stream for longer than a couple minutes before that wicked "buffering" message appears.
Before I was using my Mogul with few interruptions for 8 hours a day since we're not supposed to stream on the office network. I'm hoping for a fix soon since the stock 2.17 doesn't seem to want to flash over 3.16.
PRL 60711 seems to have helped the streaming problem. Funny I've been running it on my air card for weeks now.
Yes prl 60711 fixed my 6800 too.
Fix streaming issue or losing internet connection on the hour?
I noticed that Bluetooth was listed as a fix in the new rom. That's actually a problem I've been having. I have a Garmin GPS with Bluetooth that I use when I'm driving (speakerphone). I loved it with my old 8125, but I just got the mogul and speaker volume has been so low with it. Has anybody else experience this problem? What are the thoughts on bluetooth with the new rom for users who have tried it?
I had the same Bluetooth problems on older ROMs, but it works great on the unofficial 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs. I expect it to work as well, if not better on the official version.
Well, I tried it out on my way to work today. It was only my voicemail, but it sounded much better. Hopefully that will be the case when I get a phone call.
Well, when I just got Mogul and bought BT prepped car (never used BT before), I thought BT sucked reaaaly bad, since EVERYONE complained if I called from my car. Now, since unofficial ROMs, I get occasional complain here and there, but it is obvously tolearble to most of people I call. I also reduced volume on BT in my car after upgrade, so I think it should solve the problem.
I think part of it was that I was upgrading from 2.17 (not sure what has come since). But, it does seem pretty good now.
So I've done a lot of searching and haven't really found anything definitive. I've found that with some roms I'll lose GPS signal after a certain amount of time (say 10-30 minutes) and have to turn GPS off and back on or reboot the phone. I saw something about flashing a different radio may make a difference. Kinda just wanted to see other peoples thoughts on the issue or if maybe there is something else I can do before I go flashing a different radio.
Currently running CELB 4.1 and baseband 2.42.01.04.27 and I have the issue.. I've had it with most of Tazz's roms as well. KaosFroyo is the only one Ive used that I've never seen the issue with, but I'm really diggin CELB right now and this is the ONLY issue I've got with it.
Have you tried GPS status in the market? I know it will help you lock in a signal, so it would make sense that it would also help keep your GPS locked in.

I have now.. I did the reset and download options in the program. Too bad this isn't something I can quickly test. I'll report back with the results. Thanks!
I have noticed this as well. Last time it happened to me it was 4:30 in the morning, and the "GPS lost" message came up about 180 seconds before I had to make two freeway changes in an area I'd never been before. (CELB 3.9 and same radio as your case). Fortunately for me I had reviewed the route, so I more or less knew what to do.
If I recall correctly, it has always happened after the Nav app had been running for a fair bit of time - at least 30 minutes or more.
However, I don't know if it is something about the root ROMs or not - I started using rooted ROMs back in March or so, so I really don't have a tremendous operating baseline on stock 2.1 ROMs to compare it to. Maybe it is a problem there, too!
If I recall correctly, the last time it happened, I just pulled up GPS Status and asked it reload the aGPS state (without exiting the Nav app), and the Nav app seemed to gracefully recover.
Annoying? Yeah. I don't know what can be done about it, though - like the "undead calls" problem, it happens so infrequently that it is hard to know whether or not a ROM change actually fixes the problem.

I had the same problem with every 2.2 rom I used GPS with. I decided to go back to 2.1 because I have been needing GPS alot more often lately but I havent tested it out since I made the switch. I'll try it out today and report the results tonight.
This same thing seemed to happen on the 2.1, CyanogenMod 5 based ELB by Conap as well. If it is happening with all of the 2.2 ROMs, I wonder if it's just a CyanogenMod issue?
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6812308#post6812308 (this was not the only person reporting it, if you search that thread.)
I really don't think it's ALL 2.2 CM roms though. I've gone on 7 hour car trips with Kaos Froyo without a single drop.. to and from. I've seen another theory somewhere around here about it being certain hardware revisions that act this way with certain software builds. At lease we've got a thread dedicated to this issue now.. maybe we can get something figured out.
Still don't know if the GPS status program helps.. I left navigation turned on for a bit sitting in my house and it stayed connected for the half an hour I left it, just don't think that's gonna be an accurate test with not moving around and all. If it doesn't work I will try a different radio.. I saw somewhere one guy had good luck with a specific older version radio. If that's what it comes down to I'll try.
I have been having issues with the GPS working on both of my phones while using 2.2 roms. I switched to 2.1 a few days ago and I used the GPS on my way to work this morning and didnt have any issues. I also had to flash Senseable a couple of months ago while on a road trip because I was tired of loosing the GPS signal every half hour. It may be a CM thing.
Im having the same issues as well. Haven't found a fix yet..
I've had this issue, after I flashed KaosFroyo(v36), and XTR(4 i think). I recently unrooted using Flashback21 v1 and flashed with the radio included. I have gone back to xtr 5 now and have had no lost gps in over a week. Don't have a clue as to why. hope it helps someone.

I have flashed the radio directly with the verizon zip file that is around and I still get inconsistent results But it always drops a signal eventually in about a 1/2 hour

I've seen it on several ROM's as well. From what i've messed with, it doesn't seem to be dependent on the autokiller memory preset, radio firmware, or amount of overclocking i'm doing. It doesn't seem to be dependent on how many programs are running either. I usually have nav and pandora running while i'm in the car, and sooner or later, the gps poops out.
I feel like it seems to happen less, now that i'm back to using the on-demand governor. but that could just be in my head.
I've had to go back to a 2.1 rom because of it. Its very annoying when the goa signal gets lost right before the exit ramp.

Im thinking of going back to a 2.1 rom as well...
I have also seen the same results on any 2.2 or higher rom. I have since returned to XTRRom 5.0 and have not had a single problem with GPS on any of my jogging runs. I definitely think it is a CM thing. At least on my phone.
Using kaosfroyo v39 and I flashed that sprint phone radio on my eris and haven't had any gps issues. In fact, just the opposite. Mine would lock up before the v39 and the radio flash
I flashed that radio as well and today not one issue at all. Will test more tomorrow

Today I even flashed back to the July 2010 version (2.42.01.04.27). the gps dropped out almost every 5 minutes while i was driving around. that's the worst i've seen. So i flashed back to the 2.42.02.10.29 sprint radio again. I haven't seen very good navigation performance on the v1.1 gingershedbread overall, actually. my position on the gps nav doesn't update very often, although it seemed like the voice instructions were still pretty well timed as usual.
Preferrably with Wireless Tether or equiv. VZN HotSpot (hacked) works. I swear if it doesn't randomly restart or have major battery issues, GB has all kinds of flawed phone aspects to it. Syncing with bluetooth and either placing or accepting a call causes my radio to drop completely. It's like it goes airplane mode for 2 minutes and often times drop calls entirely. I've tried all of the GB radios including the newest and several rooms including DroidTheory, Synergy, and CM.
Going back to Froyo but need tethering, any recos?
