[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielmcdonnell07:
Hi Guys,

My first post as in this forum as I regularly find the answers on these forums but this particular issue has me foxed. I am having a problem with sound distortion when using any headphones connected via the headphone jack. There is no distortion when playing audio/video via the built in speaker or via bluetooth audio, only via the headphone jack.

I have uninstalled an reinstalled a number of apps such as Spotify & Poweramp. Switched on the likes of SoundAlive and switched it off again but no joy.

Wondering if this has happened to anyone else, whether it was Hardware/Software and how you fixed this. I havent found any other post with the same symptons so I would be keen to see if this has happened to anyone else.

Once the volume gets to 65% and up the Bass and vocals become very distorted and tinny like an equaliser is way too high but this shouldnt be the case unless I am missing an equaliser other than the one in settings and what was in Poweramp until i uninstalled this.

Thanks

Whenever I get a call from someone, it will literally ring forever and voicemail never picks up. The only way I will get a voicemail is if I intentionally ignore their call by swiping the red bar. Is there any way to get this working with the 935F on at&t?

Hey all,

Nice forum here, plenty of good information. I've got a basic question. I've searched (here and google) and I'm pretty sure I get it but I just want to confirm before I make any purchase. I want the HTC Kaiser but the price difference between that and the Tilt is about $500 (I plan to upgrade contract anyway). That's just too much to justify for the same exact device on a college student's salary. I do need it to be unlocked though. So, if I understand correctly, it is possible to fully unlock this phone like this:

- For the SIM unlock call ATT and get them to give you the unlock code. Since I've been a customer for 5 years or so that shouldn't be a problem.

- For the CID unlock, run the HardSPL found on the sticky in this forum and then flash with a standard HTC ROM.

That's it, the phone is fully unlocked then, right? It won't be locked again, it won't be killed over-the air, etc... Again, I'm really sorry if this is repeated information, I just really want to be sure before I buy anything. Thanks for understanding.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
1. If you're an AT&T customer, you won't need to SIM unlock the phone with the Tilt. But if you want to switch over to T-Mobile, then yeah, you can try calling AT&T and ask for them to for the unlock code.

2. Yep. :)

Hope that clarifies things.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ko0ky:
Did you give this a try? What did they say?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] staulkor:
I have done it and I am not even an ATT customer. Told them I bought the phone and I am going to England and need my international SIM to work. The guy immediately gave me an unlock code :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gamefreakgcb:
I can verify that, I also unlocked tht Tilt, and am a T-Mo customer, ofcourse my first carrier was ATT, then Tmo, then Cingular and now am on Tmo for the past 2 years, so my info was already there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aussienick:
Hey guys,

I just got an AT&T Tilt from ebay and getting shipped to Australia - can i call up AT&T and ask for it to be unlocked or is there a SIM unlock program that can do the job?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shellcode:
OK, I got the phone. Two more questions before I do this:

I downloaded RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe. Once I run HardSPL, do I just transfer this file to the phone and run it and it will flash to stock HTC firmware or is there something else? I was a bit confused by all the other ROM's and files on this forum.

Also, before calling AT&T, do I need to have a SIM from another provider to do the SIM unlock or no?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] omaralt:
no dont transfer the file to your phone. download it to your computer, establish an activesync connection, and then run it from your computer. make sure you follow the instructions in the sticky. good luck, the htc rom is much cleaner and quicker than the atnt rom
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] URPREY:
You don't need another sim until you get the unlock code from AT&T. Once you do, put the other sim in your phone, boot it up, and enter the unlock code. It will say passcode accepted and your phone will be unlocked :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shellcode:
Just got off the phone with AT&T (1-(916)-843-4685). I told them I was taking a trip to England, gave the IMEI and got my unlock code. So now I've got a fully unlocked phone and saved $500. Very nice.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] URPREY:
Exactly how I got mine unlocked. Free is good :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] chupalo:
Just a question, Did you get your unlock code while still on the phone?

In other words, they gave you the code right away!

or you have to way a couple a days to get the code?

I did the same one time with TMO and have to way a week to get the code.

I just called ATT and they got all my info and told me that htc will email me the info in a week.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] URPREY:
They gave it to me while I was on the phone. HTC has nothing to do with AT&T's unlock codes. Did you call the 916 number posted above? Call again and get a different rep who knows what they're doing!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AnthonyK:
I've tried calling that ATT number multiple times with no luck.

I am a TMobile customer and have never had ATT. The first question they ask is for my account information. I tried calling back 5 times and spoke to 5 different people and they all want my account info.

If anyone here can do it I would greatly appreciate and i'd even paypal you some money for being able to pull it off.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thomassster:
that seems like it'll work. have someone thats been on at&t for a while to call them up and give them your imei. What I'm not sure is if they have records of only at&t imei and they'll know if you have tmo imei.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] spanahi:
Unlock tilt

Thanks, I called the number and told them that I am going over seas, got mine unlocked. Will take a few days after AT&T puts in a request to HTC for the unlock code. They'll send it via email.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rsolomon:
Drop $20 on a GoPhone and give 'em that number - YMMV of course, but it's a cheap fix if it works - as it did for me...

HTH,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] hackmania:
call today and they bluff me with the "if i give you the code the phone will never work again on at&t network and will became useful" i insist that i do these many times without any proble and they told me that will contact me in 3 to 5 days with the requested codes because they have to request it from someone ( i don't now who) but they will give it to me
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] URPREY:
Mine works just fine after unlocking. They are giving you a line of BS.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rsolomon:
Yeah, it took almost a month to get my V551 unlocked - between "misrouted" support requests, improper account information, and whatever real delays exist in getting codes from Motorola.

It's quite interesting that most Tilt people (myself included) have gotten codes immediately vs having them e-mailed - as had been ALL my previous experience.

Richard
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jimlivingston:
Just out of curiosity; it seems many people are buying the Tilt with a new two year contract to receive the discounted price, and then unlocking it to use on a different carrier. What becomes of the original contracted service from AT&T?!

I got my unlock code from AT&T without any porblem, but how do I unlock my Tilt with a different sim card. I had try it with an old sim card & without any sim card, but none works. Is there any other way to unlock my Tilt?:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jomo25:
I'd have bought that notion, except his email and the post topic clearly demonstrate the ability to use lower case.

So, it's clear he's YELLING AT US ALL. And what's more, he thinks we need help getting Slide2Unlock. When he clearly doesn't know that there's a Slide2Unlock2 version even.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] FLiPinoy9oNe6:
Its funny when people are told they have to wait days or even weeks to get an unlock code. There is an internal program thru IT that allows them to get the code in 5 seconds. Everyone is calling a tier 1 rep which doesnt have access to the program. They do 1 of 2 things. Either they fill out a request to a tier 2 rep to have your unlock code. reason why it takes a few days up to weeks is due to the work load that rep 2's may have. Second option is a cust care rep actually calls the IT Dept and gets it in 5 seconds. Sometimes the IT dept has a long wait time so they choose to go the 1st route and send a request by e-mail with your info rather than waiting on hold.

Here is a tip. Try calling later in the evening when things are usually a bit slow. Chances are they'll just call IT and get it for you. All this stuff reps are saying about being illegal and contacting HTC, having no such thing available. Its all lack of knowledge,training,coaching, using resources, etc.

Best wishes

I have unlocked my phone thru calling AT&T but I am also a T-Mobile user. They asked for my AT&T account number and I told them I had just purchased the phone the day before; all the info was left at home and I needed the phone bad to go overseas to use it with a pre-paid sim card. A little white lie I told them, but the guy was nice and asked for my name... keep in mind I was never an AT&T customer as well. I made another lie and told them a made up name. The guy then asked for my IMEI # and gave me my unlock code right away. I thanked him greatfully and punched in the numbers to unlock it. Tada, it works. BTW I had to call twice because the other CS rep. had asked my to fax in the bill of sale, account info. and the IMEI #... keep in mind I told him I was already half way around the world. lol, just remember to be creative and don't be afride to call back twice or a thrid time. You have nothing to lose but time and there are plenty of CS reps working for AT&T.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] avega1027:
Unlocked my TILT last night @ about 12:46am EST, AT&T gave me the unlock code over the phone. Took the advice of another poster to call later @ night due to less call volume.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zephir:
I called att on tuesday. Was told I needed to be a customer to unlock my tilt. Called back, was told I had to provide a receipt showing I paid full retail (which I dont have b/c I bought it from craigslist). Called again and this time the guy told me he would have to email it to me. I went to an independent retailer today and had them call. Two hours later I received the code via email. Popped in a t-moblie SIM poof...unlocked tilt.

If anyone is looking for the tilt, you should try craigslist. I got mine NIB for $375

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] emoandy:
I got an unlock code, but how do I unlock it without having another carrier's sim card? Is there a series of keys I push to get to a menu where I enter the key?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rsolomon:
If you search around you might be able to find something which can be done in bootloader (I honestly don't remember) but it's MUCH easier and safer to just borrow a non-AT&T SIM for 5 minutes to do the unlock. Worst case go visit a T-mobile store sometime when they're not busy and I imagine one of the folks there will let you borrow their SIM to do it.....

Richard
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jreed012:
I was wondering the exact same thing myself. I guess I'll find a coworkers SIM to try.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] zephir:
I went to t-mobile and bought a SIM to use for the unlock. They sell them with 10 minutes preloaded for 10 bucks. I did this just to make sure att gave me the correct code so I would not find out the hard way after arriving in germany.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] turtle2472:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] juancra_pola:
Guys, great posts

I'm in the middle of something.

I want a GPS, but they cost about the same as a Smartphone with GPS.

So I was thinking of a TyTN II (Kaiser) that you said, and I though too is cheaper to buy a Tilt and re-firmware (only hardware lost is the front camera I'm not interested in).

I live abroad and was thinking if you can help me with the following:

Is there any way that when I travel to the US I can get a Tilt at the price it corresponds from AT&T without subscribing to any plan at all and get it unlocked?

The point is that I will be there for only 4 days and I need to buy it from a store location and take it with me "without leaving any debts" (meaning that I don't want to contract a service plan and screw AT&T leaving the country.

Also I need to pay cash since I don't have an international credit card.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rsolomon:
Yes, you'll probably have an easier time of it at an "Authorized Retailer" aka "Agent Store" rather than at an AT&T Corporate Store.

Go to:

https://www.wireless.att.com/find-a-store

and input the location(s) you'll be visiting.

In my area they show as either "AT&T" (Corporate Store) or "Cingular Wireless - Authorized Retailer" (Agent Store). With no contract a corporate store will want $550 and probably refuse to sell it when you're not a customer. An Agent Store will probably be $530 and happy to sell it to anyone. Worst case you should be able to pick up a $20 (literally) GoPhone starter kit and use that SIM/phone # to buy the Tilt. (I did this by picking up the GoPhone at one store and the Tilt at another - both Agent Stores).

You'll want to call ahead to make sure they have a phone and ask for the "No committment" price - then have them hold it for you if possible.

Note that you'll still need to get the phone unlocked - which is a bit hit or miss with AT&T still....though again the GoPhone route may actually help as then you *are* an AT&T customer :) Plus you can always burn up the $10 starter airtime while you're here ($0.25/minute so it goes fast....)

HTH,

Richard
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] juancra_pola:
Richard, superb help. I don't think I can do such as much in 4 days, but if I can, I'll give it a try.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] rsolomon:
Where are you coming in the US? You can do the store searches ahead of time, so it should be a 30minute task to locate the phone - if you can find one.

Unlock code for ATT

Hi Members!

I just played the game that i am in INDIA now and want to have an unlock code. The rep took my IMEI number and said they dont have the code yet for my device. So they should request it and they will e-mail me within 5-7 business days. I called them twice and got the same reply. Since my Tilt is new, i think they dont have the code yet in the system.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] eddietx:
AWESOME

Thanks for that AT&T international customer service number. The lady on as for the IMEI numer and a few seconds later gave me the unlock code...SWEET:) :D

Now my question can I safely use the orignal KASIER TyTN II ROM RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1[1].56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship ???????

Any special instructions?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jhego:
Weird, i called the 916 number and they said they don't have the instruction to unlock the Tilt yet since its a brand new phone. Should i call again and ask for it since the rep i talked to doesn't know what she's talking about?

Update*

I called another rep and told me that i need to have international feature which i dont know what that is and told me to have that feature for 90 days in order to get the phone unlocked. WTF???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] eddietx:
Yea...que card reading sucks......

Might have to make a little lie, tell them your in the process of going oversea, i.e. eroupe etc.. and want to use your phone with that country sim chip/card, the rep should then as you for your IMEI # and give you a sim unlock code...

Good Luck
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jhego:
Success, i got the unlock code in 2 minutes. I guess you just gotta keep on trying and hope to get a nice rep.

Can i just enter the unlock code w/o switching the sim card?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cushcalc:
SIM unlock requires SIM card from another carrier

You've got to turn off the phone, put in a SIM card from another carrier, then turn on, and wait for prompt.

I just did this - my first call to AT&T international number (listed in this thread) connected me to a friendly rep who emailed me the code; received it in 4 days. Borrowed a friend's T-Mobile SIM card for 5 minutes, did the above, and now I'm unlocked. Easy as pie, and free.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] marscandybars:
Help!

Can anyone help out. I spoke to 8 reps already, and all of them kept saying that the phone needed to be active on an ATT account for them to generate any unlock information. I've just about given up! They won't unlock it for me!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jhego:
Well of course you have to have an ATT account. You cant be with Tmobile or any other carrier and ask them to unlock your phone.

Just got my tilt...

Hey, I had a question about unlocking my tilt- I just got it today, and I also just switched over from Verizon to AT&T today, and I was wondering if when I unlock my phone if it will still work with my contract, or will this detach the phone from the contract, because If I can unlock it without having to cancel my contract or go through a bunch of things to get that done, that would be pretty cool having a phone I can switch carriers whenever I want to.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] marscandybars:
Well I'm aware of that, but all the other members are stating that they just tell the rep that they are going to europe and they get an unlock code. And many of them just tell the rep that they are gonna use it with another provider across seas while they are there, and that they dont even have an ATT account. i dont see why they won't unlock it for me, seeing a paid a ridiculous amount purchasing it from an ATT store
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kyphur:
So spend $20 and get the cheapest GoPhone, now you have an AT&T Account!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jhego:
^^^ Hahaha, that's another way.

I dont think they'll give it to you w/o an ATT account. Whenever they call, they always ask for the ATT # and the last 4 digit of my social. So if you can't give them that, then for sure they won't give you the code.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ziddey:
It won't do anything to the contract. You'll still be tied down. That said, if you ever wanted out, it's $175 for most states. Some prorate that further by the time left in contract. Some have other prices possibly.

Thanks a bunch guys I called 1(916)8434685 told the rep I was travelling abroad,she asked for my IMEI no. thats located behind the phone and gave me an unlock code,now I can use my tilt in Africa...Great!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] annoyance:
just wanted to add my (similar) experience with calling ATT International support. First rep gave me the whole "the device is too new, we don't have unlocking information yet" speech. Called again after hanging up and spoke with a different rep, who gave me the unlock code within a few minutes of verifying my ATT account information (mobile number, last 4 digits of SSN). SIM unlocked and used successfully in Thailand.

Moral of the story, keep trying with different reps until you get one that knows what they're doing!

EDIT: I've only had ATT service for about two months, so I don't believe you need to be a long-time customer

Advice for the hustler...

ATT reps are notorious for misinformation and lies! ALL TIERS! Even the tech department! How do I know!? I used to work for them for a time... Case is you dont need a Go phone to get the number to call for unlock info. All you have to do (LISTEN CLEARLY!!!!) Walk into an ATT, tell you want the 10cent a minute Go phone plan, but YOU HAVE YOUR OWN EQUIPMENT! EVEN IF YOU DON'T!I f they ask about it say I left it home. then they'll ask you if you need to buy minutes, deny them by saying "NO THANKS!" Now you have the number, keep calling the number posted earlier tell u get a nice rep to unlock it, dont buy into the email bull cus they can get it asap, IF THEY FEEL LIKE IT! IF THEY DONT THEIR BLOWING YOU OFF! Been doing this since the 8125/Wizard, my only concern is when will an unlock program be in the works for the 8925, like the previous 8525, and 8125. I just like the convenience. :D :D :D
