The ROM update for the Sprint Mogul (aka HTC Titan) that was rumored over the weekend has been officially announced today. It not only includes the EV-DO Rev.A functionality and GPS (including software for Sprint’s Navigation service) that was expected, but the addition of a task manager to the Today screen and fixes a Windows Live Messenger bug. Improved Bluetooth performance – both when tethering the Mogul as a modem, and when using it with stereo wireless headphones – has also been included.
The update is free, but installing it will wipe your Mogul so HTC recommend that you back-up your handset before beginning.
1. Adds EV-DO Rev.A functionality for faster download and upload speeds when transmitting data wherever EV-DO Rev. A coverage is available.
2. Adds advanced GPS functionality including the software for Sprint Navigation.
3. Adds a Task Manager to the Today screen for easier access and management of Running Programs.
4. Improves Bluetooth performance including usage with Phone As Modem and wireless stereo headsets.
5. Corrects an issue where Windows Live Messenger content may be erased when the device power cycles
Updated my mogul and I love it. Rev A significantly faster with easily able to stream music and video, yes video. GPS is enabled and with google map it’s pretty awesome.
Well, I just finished this upgrade. The whole process was seamless, except for one thing. The active sync backup saved all my contacts, tasks, and appointments. The files I had on my storage card (jpg, xls, mp3) are no longer accessible. I had them encrptyed and after the upgrade, Excel no longer recognizes them. The files are there, I can browse them, but that’s it. So, 1) how do I get to my storage card files? 2) Where is the note that installing this ROM corrupts, if indeed that’s the deal, encrypted files on the storage card?
Right now, I’m pretty frustrated. I use this for business and oversights like this are a big deal to me. Just a heads up for any of you in the same boat I’m in. Get the files off the storage card before you do the upgrade.
I look forward messing with the new features. But, I really need that older data. The pictures and music/ringers I can recreate.
Thanks in advance,
Greg
