Two questions


After upgrading to the latest firmware which supposedly includes Rev. A functionality, is the setting in ##pst# -> Data Parameters -> Rev. A -

Is it Disabled or Enabled? (mine is disabled, even after firmware update)


When you enter a DO area w/ Rev. A. capabilities, does Windows Mobile notify you about this?

Are you sure it says "disabled"? You better check because, i'm pretty sure it should say "disable"... Check it again and see.

Disabled means rev.a is enabled.

Is Rev. A added to the Verizon phones that have done the upgrade as well. Running DCD 3.0.1 with the Sprint Radio 3.35.

In the ##778 menu under Data Parameters it doesn't show the Rev. A line that everyone is referring to.

So I assume it didn't add the Rev. A capability since it is a Verizon phone.

GPS does work and I would like to thank everyone on the forum for all the post helping me to get to this point.

Anyone?!?

I would also like to know if it is enabled on my xv6800. I am in Phoenix and its network has been upgraded according to VZW customer support. I did a speedtest and didn't notice any improvement from rev 0.

Mine is enabled, using no2chems 5055 rom. D/l is within rev-a range, upload not so much. I wonder if enabled/disabled makes a differance, anyone have any tests ?

Well, today, I thought I would give my phone a real world test. Right now I am downloading some files to my laptop tethered to the xv6800. Download speeds have been typically around 1.0 Mbps, sometimes going up to 1.5 Mbps for a while.

I am a believer. Simply fantastic.

Ok this has beaten like a dead horse. Disable means it is enabled and selecting it will disable it and vice-versa.

Its kinda an opposite thing and by changing it you have done what it said.

We Verizon folks just wanna know why we dont have the option in the #778 menu. Is it just cuz of the cross carrier differences and can only access Sprint Rev. A, and not Verizon Rev. A.


Found this on the Titan Upgrading etc.. section:
I work in the switch and logged into the network side and see REV-A session on mine and speed tests bear it out, but the phone has no REV-A indicator. Trust me, if you have REV-A coverage where you are it is working.

Appears we may be in luck it just doesnt show we have it. Thanks madman34

Eh lots of people are posting tests with it enabled/disabled. Some people say its on, some say its off. Where is the clear cut answer. Mine isnt that far off from others and mine is "off"

Either way the speed is till slower than prior to the Rev A update.
