Most of your questions have already been answered and if you look in one of the sticky threads at the top of the forums, you can search the forum via Google and get better results.

1. Most stuff in the Windows dir is read-only because it's on the ROM and can't be deleted. Anything on the ROM is not taking up memory. Leave it.

2. Some people swear by QuickGPS. After having to hard reset my phone twice, I haven't used it since then and it always works for me. YMMV.

3. My text messages come up in a view. I can see them - that's a view. Be more specific.

4. You already have a power button. Why do you want another one?

5. Already answered in another thread.

6. Already answered in another thread.

7. Everything and anything that is useful is most likely on this forum. I monitor modaco and 4winmobile but they always point back here for the cool stuff.

The Palm OS default view brings text messages up in a chat view, so on the messages front page, it lists all contacts that you have sent/received messages from, and then you click into their name to see all the messages in an IM-like chat view.

I've looked around and seen the other users are having IMAP problems with gmail, but was wondering the status on it, if a fix is available yet?

I've looked around, and haven't been able to find information on this stuff- this is the stuff I haven't been able to find. Could you tell me where the applicable threads for 6 are?

Thank you

Screen Scrolling...

Need a lot of help here.

My phone maxed out its storage memory. So, I cleared storage and just rebuilding the machine.

An old issue is back. I have a LOT on my today screen, and when I scroll down, the today screen snaps back to the top. I can't get to the programs at the bottom.

Anyone else have this issue?

problem with speakerphone.

I installed the kaisertweak and the htc home plug, Now my speakerphone wont work. And ideas why thi shappened or how to fix it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jerich007:
I flashed my Tilt to Dutty's beta 3 ROM to get rid of the AT&T bloatware. Everything's working fine. However I noticed under 'Connections' for My ISP it points to isp.cingular. Shouldn't this be wap.cingular? What's the difference? I did the auto-configure your network settings, after flashing the ROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
Krammit: thats an issue I've never heard of...try uninstalling it and reinstalling it, clearing storage, etc. If worse comes to worst reflash it.

Jerich007: Those settings are correct. They remove the MEdia Net proxy, which you dont really want anyways. If you do want these settings, there is a thread somewhere about it. Use the google search of this forum and I guarantee you will find it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] maxh:
Jerich007:

I did the same thing as you, noticed that it said isp.cingular instead of wap.cingular (I'm using the mediamax plan so I worried a little), and noticed that while I could browse the web with PIE, I couldn't check my email. I didn't feel like doing a whole lot of searching and reading and learning, so I just installed a Cingular settings CAB I downloaded back when I got my hermes and all works well now. It does show wap.cingular.

The one I installed is the first one at the bottom of this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=306508

I'm not saying this is the best settings, but it's working for me and I'm happy.

Anybody know what causes the Tilt to slowdown? For no reason, the new few things I do takes like 2-3 seconds before it'll pickup a button push on the screen. I can hold the pen on the button but it wont click for a few seconds. I know it wasnt like this wehn I first got it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
you might have put a lot of things in the memory that has slowed it down. try doing a "clear storage" under settings. Also, if youre using the stock Tilt ROM, well, sorry but its expected, because that ROM sucks balls.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
Doing a Clear Storage is the same is doing a hard reset, so be sure that's what you want to do. Personally, I have installed so much stuff that I only had 1MB of free memory and it still ran just fine. I have since reinstalled a lot of apps on my SD card, but it hasn't sped things up any appreciable amount.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] louiscar:
... and another 'fact' is that AT&T to date poses the biggest threat to the internet that has ever been made. I do find it amusing that for the sake of a phone price people feel that it's worth contributing to a company that has vowed to make the internet into it's own private network. Still that's consumers for you. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
wow thanks for threadcrapping, thats really why I created this thread you know, so you could crap in it...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
*cough* troll *cough*

Where the hell do you get that kind of information? Threadcrapping doesn't even begin to describe that kind of incompetence. The "internet" as we know it is not centralized in any way, shape or form. For a company like AT&T to try to "take it over" is just plain nonsense.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jmkiang:
Hey,

I wanted to know if there was a significant benefit to flashing the Tilt to the HTC ROM. Also, does the bloatware really slow the Tilt down? I read somewhere that it only frees up some storage space and removes annoying icons.

TIA
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] starstreak:
Doug 2873-

Thanks for that thought of using clear storage. It won't remove unwanted stuff. It removes ALL stuff back to factory. You might want to watch how you word your suggestions. Others here might have done it without realizing its a FORMAT.

As for memroy, I still have 72+MB free for storage and 63+MB free for programs. So its not running out of memory. But something is causing it to lag when I press stuff. Just not sure what yet.

It COLULD be the ATT rom. I would flash it but I'm still not 100% sure if its worth flashing when it seems to do everything the tytn II rom does.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] erikk:
I've noticed the same sort of slowdowns from my Tilt. It doesn't happen all the time and I can't pinpoint it to any specific program or action. Sometimes I'll click on something or try and do something and it just sits there for a second or two doing nothing like the computer is busy (and it doesn't give the spinning clock).

I haven't tried putting on a new ROM yet but I will be once they're more finalized and actually offer substantial advantages (new radio, new OS updates, etc). I swear I had a more stable and useable device using Kirvin's Clean and Simple WM5 ROM on my PPC-6700 than I did on the newer PPC-6800 with WM6. I think it definitely has to do with the overall ROM; the drivers, the radio version, the bluetooth stack.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
starstreak, holy ****, you asked for a potential fix, and i gave you it. Now its either a HARDWARE or a software problem. What I suggested would be one of the two fixes for it if it was a software problem. The other option is to do a hard reset, which is posted on the first page of this thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
Actually you did suggest a hard reset. Clicking on Clear Storage is the same as a hard reset. You act as if it's two different things.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
what I meant was if he couldnt get the clear storage to work...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] erikk:
I think the point that lidberg is making is that using clear storage/doing a hard reset should be the second to last step to try before getting a hardware replacement. If nothing else works you hard reset and lose everything. Your suggestion seemed to imply that it should be just another step in troubleshooting. Maybe even the first suggestion. Your suggestion is definitely valid and a good one; maybe you should have just given a little warning along with it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
That's why I warned the guy he was replying to, because he might not know that clicking Clear Storage is the same as doing a hard reset (and for any newbies that read it, too).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] starstreak:
Doug- Yes, that's what I meant. (What others posted here) I tried that. Mainly because of one thing or another I had to format the unit like 3 times. Its a pain. But the way you worded it, it was like a type of soft rest. Like pressing the reset button under the unit. Oh and you might not want to take my comment so hard that you start with a "holy ****". We're all adults here and that to me is worse that typing all in CAPS. But well, thats water under the boat now.

Still havn't figured out what software did it. I want to say Kaiser tweaks did it, but not sure what. Maybe one of the larger cache functions but not sure. Running another battery test so I dont want to touch the unit.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
Sounds like you have a hardware problem, because doing a hard reset should revert any of the registry settings that KaiserTweak would change. Sorry for your luck on this.

Cingular Store at MOA

You should know by now not to trust any store still called a "Cingular" store. Have they even got the 8125 phones in there yet? :D :D :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ParrotSquawk:
Hmmm.. I never say out loud which of my daughters I like best

:D :) :D :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
Actually the guys there are not complete idiots.

Case in point - I went in there to ask about the Tilt. I asked what price they could give me. I had already went online and signed into my Premiere account and got a price of $399. The guy in the store said they're $399 with a $100 rebate. Kudos for him for saving me $100.

Next, I told him to make sure I don't get stuck on the PDA plan. I told him I already had the unlimited data plan with no reason to "upgrade" to the PDA plan. It gives me 0 new features for another 10 or 20 bucks/month. He checked both before and after I bought the Tilt and activated it. Then he triple-checked a few minutes later just to make sure it would stick.

Bottom line, if you know what you want and you tell them exactly what you want, they are not that bad to deal with.

vibrate settings?

Is there any way to get the Tilt to pulse vibrate instead of constantly vibrate? My past phones all had options for different vibrate modes. It doesn't seem like the Tilt has any such options. Is there some program or hack to allow different vibrate modes?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] flooty333:
I had the same thing.

what was causing the problem for me was the proxy.

2 ways around it.

1. connect to skype with wifi and the go into the connection settings and copy the cingular proxy settings into skype.

2. Use a different connection option in ur wm connection settings that doesnt use the proxy.

Hope this helps.

I am eligible for an upgrade from AT&T and have a coupon for 50% off and plan to get 2 Tilts.

I also have an HTC Kaiser, and after reading a lot of threads, will flash the HTC ROM to the Tilts.

I am not a noob at modding, having modded Motorola v3, v3xx and v3r phones. I also have experience in reg editing Windows XP.

But I am a noob concerning the Tilt, Kaiser and Windows Mobile..

I do not have a data plan with AT&T, as I travel overseas and so I just use the wireless connection, when available.

So, please check my understanding of flashing the HTC ROM to a Tilt.

First, I will call AT&T and get the unlock code. I have done this with Cingular and have never had a problem.

Second, I will backup Tilt with Sprite Backup. I have read the Backup Bible and this seems to be the best way.

I have downloaded HardSPL CID Unlocker v1.0

1- Connect Kaiser to computer using USB cable

2- Make sure ActiveSync icon is GREEN

3- RUN kaiser-hardSPL.exe on Computer (PC)

4- Follow instructions on screen!!!!!

If flash is successful I have to run Tilt keyboard fix.cab, to address the issue with the Smartdialer keys being incorrectly mapped.

At this point I should be good to go, Right???

Comments and advice gladly accepted.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:

Strange issue with Tilt (stock rom) and soft keys

I'm having an issue with 1, yes, 1 of my soft keys. The left soft key will not let me change its function. I've tried doing this with an app posted in the forums, with spb mobile shell, and I've tried editing the registry manually. I've managed to change the txt label at times, but no matter what it still runs the calendar.

Any ideas ?

I would also like an alternitive suggestion to SPB Mobile Shell, I worry about their software slowing my phone down. The only thing I use from it is the today screen plugin. I like the weather and time tabs, and the photo dialer tab. I've seen the HTC plugin, but its rather large and seems to slow the phone down even more.

Thanks for your help.

ROM Storage

I'm setting up my sister-in-laws tilt she just got the other day. She's not phone savvy, so I have to be careful on what I remove/change. I'm probably going to stick with the stock AT&T ROM for now, but I am planning on removing most of the bloatware.

One thing that surprised me though, was I went into Settings->Memory, and on the first tab, it only says that there is 128MB in ROM????? Thought it was supposed to be 256? RAM reads OK at 128MB. Anyone else seen this? I've searched the forum, but haven't found any reference yet. I could just be entering the wrong search queries.

Thanks,

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
That 256MB is divided up into two segments - 128MB for storage and 128MB for program memory.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dfields:
Hmm. I knew that was the way older devices worked. I just returned an ETEN X800 and when I was looking at the RAM on that device, I guess I was mis-reading/mis-interpreting the ROM/RAM on that device. It starts with 172 Free in ROM, and 64 in RAM, and I thought those were from two separate storage areas. I guess I was seeing what I wanted to see, and not what was there, and that threw me off when looking at the tilt. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

How to get T-Mob GPRS/Email on unlocked Tilt

Hi ~~

I'm a new user to the forums, so I hope I'm posting in the correct place. My apologies in advance if this is redundant!

I just synced my new, unlocked Tilt to my T-Mobile SIM card. It's working beautifully ~~ except for the fact that I am not sure how to get the internet (GPRS) or my email (hotmail, work account) to function. Can someone please help me? I am unfortunately not very tech-savvy when it comes to the internet setup stuff/lingo, so the simpler the better. :)

Thanks ~~ Kim

Anyone know how to change the startup flash image, and the bootup AT&T Logo on the tilt?

I saw instructions on doing it for the Kaiser, but following the same instructions for the Tilt just disabled the 3g AT&T Boot up flash, it didn't replace it...

As for the boot up image, I take it that can only be changed by cooking a ROM?

On the plus side, changing the WM6 boot-up image (the green WM screen after the flash image plays), works just like the kaiser -- though it's not animated as I expected from what the image details said (it was an animated GIF, but on the Tilt it simply shows the last slice)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
to change the boot up inage you have to sort of flash the device which requires the bootloader being changed on the device. It's easier to leave to the AT&T screen and just change the Windows Mobile splash screen. There's a file in the windows directory called welcome.96.png. That file just has to be replaced with whatever image you want. Here's mine....

EDIT: Use the image in the zip file. When I uploaded the image to this forum, it got converted from PNG to JPG. The file needs to be PNG
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
Thats strange that your phone did not auto-configure settings when you inserted the SIM card (because that would give the internet settings automatically)...try to do a search using google (look for the sticky in the kaiser thread at the top) to look for the T-Mobile internet settings. Hope this helps.

No Disconnect after auto email retreival!

I just got this machine Sunday, and I don't know if I love it or hate it. For example, using the supplied MS email program, I have several POP3 mail servers set up, and it is set to get the mail every hour. After it retrieves the mail, it does NOT drop the data connection. Because of this, the BT connection is interrupted; so the auto mail retrieval is basically worthless, unless there is something I have missed...

By BT do you mean Bluetooth? If so, they have nothing to do with each other. They are two radios with completely different functions. I retrieve from two POP3 mail servers with no issues. Please explain.

Application Unlocking (installing unsigned software)

(Accidental double post)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Buran:
Application Unlocking (installing unsigned software)

Asking here because the Tilt-specific thread seems to be the best place in case this is partly caused by the AT&T ROM...

I'm trying to remove the application lock from my AT&T Tilt to install some unsigned software. The howtos I've found for WM5 don't work (not surprising, really) nor do any of the various methods I've found online, including one for the HTC Kaiser which is the same phone (*sigh*).

That is, I need to bypass the "cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate" error (aka I don't care, just run it already!)

Normally, I'd just say forget it but this is a pretty important app for me (BluePhoneElite 2, which puts on-screen alerts if someone calls, among other things; I'm hard of hearing and this is big for me) and I want to get my money's worth out of it.

The developer just keeps asking me to send "debug files" but the problem isn't with the software beyond the fact that they failed to sign their cab file and so the phone just refuses to run it. An app unlock will fix this.

Or is there really no way to do this? If so, do I need to flash one of the thirdparty ROMs out there? If so, which one(s) will allow unsigned apps to be run? I'm willing to do this if necessary, although for now it would be preferable to keep the AT&T ROM so I don't have to reinstall everything; however, I don't have a huge number of apps so if all else fails, I could always gather all the .cabs for them before I do the flash (shouldn't be difficult, as I still have most of them saved).

I should note that I use a Macbook Pro 99% of the time, but I do have a Windows XP SP2-based gaming system that I could use in a pinch to install the ROM.

I'm pretty tech-saavy so I'm OK with editing the registry and the like, so I don't need a .cab that does it all for me, though that'd certainly save time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] erikk:
I've never had a problem installing unsigned apps. It just prompts you whether you want to do it or not. What exactly is happening that you can't actually install? What is the error?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Buran:
This one is strange and refuses to do it. It's the BPInstaller that is part of the BluePhoneElite software -- it notifies the computer about text messages, calls, et cetera, and is required on smartphones (Windows Mobile, Palm).

There is a two week trial for any Mac users willing to help troubleshoot this at mirasoftware.com.

Now, as for the continue screen -- Normally, yes, I can continue and install anyway, but this app brings up a screen that says:

"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate."

The only option is an OK button which returns me to the file listing in File Explorer.
