WIFI Problem possible fix!!

Hi, I just got my tilt today, and have been having a HELL of a time getting it to work on my wifi network using a Verizon FIOS (actiontec i think) wireless router. as a last resort, I decided to not use DHCP and chose to use a static IP. To do this, go to settings > connections > Wi-Fi > Network Adapters > IEEE 802.11b/g....... > and use specific IP address . I have tried this using no encryption and WITH WEP with success. I'm using Dutty's 6.1 latest release with 1.64.08.21 radio on an AT&T Tilt. Hope this helps at least somebody else! :)

cannot receive MP3 files via MMS

Team,

I've read through all of the unresolved issues and have not found this issue. So I assumed that it was solved somewhere else, but my searches revealed no such thing.

I have a stock ATT tilt... with a few apps to change the interface but nothing major yet....

My problem: I can not receive MP3 files when sent via MMS.

I've contacted ATT about this and they state that HTC has this disabled.... that you you can only receive aac and some other types...

Is there a way to add the MP3 functionality?

I can received them via email or by syncing... but not via MMS

and that's how people on other networks send their ringtones....

Any assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Tilt Issues

I have had my Tilt for about 6 weeks now.It's been fine until lately the Bluetooth has stopped working. After I turn BT on and make discoverable, I get a msg that there is a "Problem with BT hardware."

Also, when I go into settings and turn BT on and then close Settings, the BT will be back off.

Is anybody else having similar problem? I've been advised to hard reset but I want to try anything else first.

Thanks

Answer a call, keys are unlocked; any answer?

I'm sorry if I'm missing something simple, but I have searched for hours trying to find this answer. When I answer a call via Bluetooth (or just with the phone,) my keys can be pressed. I know this is normal, but is there a reg edit or fix of any sort? I would like to have the phone remain locked until I press the power button, at all times.:confused::confused::confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] starstreak:
Yup. I think if I call via BT, the handset should stay off. If I want to turn it on to do something, I should turn it on. Why? I have it in the holster. I get a call and talk. Since the holster is on my side, the phone rubs up against my car seat and it starts pressing things on teh screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] johnny13oi:
I don't know if it is considered as an issue or not but could the possibility of the red light of death due to the wobbly connection of the USB? Like with the original HTC usb cord that came with the Tilt seems very wobbly when plugged into the phone but I tried another miniusb cable that I had that went with my external hard drive with the two usb ends to plug into the computer for extra power draw and the miniusb end that plugs into the phone seems a little longer than the one that came with phone so it plugs in deeper and and does not wobble at all. It seems like it is a very secure and tight fit when using it. So maybe you guys should try using a different usb cable?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bigboyhf:
Try locking the phone... Also, make sure fast sleep is enabled. You can always wake the phone up by flipping the volume wheel and unlocking if you have the need to press number keys for voicemail systems.

I have been using S2U2 which is a wonderful locking program. Unfortunately, it interferes with BT voice dialing. I have disabled the auto feature and use the standard locking program when using my BT headset. I still can activate S2U2 manually when I am not using my BT headset.

I wish someone would figure out how to fix the BT/Voicedial issue with S2U2... It is by far the superior program for locking aside from this issue.

has anyone had the incoming msg problem..??

i dont recieve notification of an incomming msg, i have to constantly check my phone..i could have the phone on vibrate or full blast and nothing..

any ideas?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] yesod7:
Incoming msg notification

Have you tried checking Start/Settings/Personal/Sounds and Notifications/Notifications to make sure you have a notification set up for that event? It might be unchecked, or the sound attributed to that event might not be viable.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] yesod7:
Locking the buttons during a call

I am currently using S2U2, with fast sleep enabled. When I make/receive a call, the buttons can still be pressed; I believe the phone application disables any button locks so that you can put the call on hold or end the call by pressing a button. I wish to set up my phone such that the only button that can be pressed during a call is the power button.

As far as BT voice dialing, I use MS Voice Commander 1.6, with various tweaks to allow the one-button-push to open voice dialing. This works all the time for me, whether or not I have S2U2 on; have you tried searching for any threads on this problem?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bigboyhf:
Thanks for letting me know that S2U2 plays well with Voice Command! That has not really been covered in any of the threads I have scanned. S2U2 definitely does NOT work well with the Cyberon Voice dialer...

As far as having S2U2 disable all the buttons DURING a call, I am not sure. It seems that especially with fast sleep enabled, you might need to be able to adjust volume, or get to the keypad for answering systems requiring a number key press. I think that is why it leaves the scroll wheel activated to light up the screen. I don't think any other buttons besides the end key do anything and you obviously need the end key.

After change from Nokia N95 to HTC Kaiser, it was a real shock for the first time but now I am getting used to this device. Anyway, some differences:

1. Too dark screen in compare with Nokia - it is hard to see what is on the screen when sunshine.

2. Lack of screen saver with time. Maybe because of next point 3 below. Now I need to buy a good watch :)

3. To preserve battery you need to turn off the backlight completely. Pressing power button shortly.

4. It looks like this device has more radio emission since it affects my PC sound system. Nokia did like that when receiving calls

5. Keypad buttons are slow.

6. After the conversation ended, it takes long time until phone return to today screen

7. When talking ear can activate top bar pressing Start or other items. I know this maybe related of to my ROM or my ear that big :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] whk:
Taha - You need to read my friend - most if not all of your issues are non-issues and many can be rectified by simply settings on the phone or Kaiser Tweak. (Dark Screen, screen saver, watch, battery life, etc.)

Re: Radio emissions - actually - do a search here for that - I saw a reference recently that showed that the AT&T Tilt actually has some of the LOWER radio emissions compared with other popular phones on the market.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Taha25:
Comparison

By posting my issues I didn't mean to blame the Kaiser - I like it and want to know more. Those were just my first inpressions on the device with WM 6.1 after long use of Symbian mobile phones.

Thanks, WHK: I really rectified many issues like battery life using tweak. Of course, I will search further and try to resolve all the other issues.

Regarding emissions - they can be neglected. I will try today at home. Maybe the emissions had gone after use of Kaiser Tweak.

Losing GPS signal quite often

Hi,

I have the Tilt 8900 (w/o camera) with the latest AT&T ROM.

I find that it loses GPS signal quite often, even under open skies (ie - not in "urban canyons").

This also happened with the previous AT&T ROM.

I obtain a GPS fix quite quickly, and I regularly use the AGPS functionality.

At the moment I'm not interested in switching to any Kaiser ROM nor to any unofficial WM6.1 ROM.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Thank you.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] websurrfr:
I have this problem as well. My phone vibrates on incoming calls but it will not vibrate on incoming text messages. I have my settings proper. I also found 2 other threads dedicated to this topic, none containing a solution. I am using Kaiser Tweak and HTC Home. I have double checked the settings and cannot find any conflicts.

Perhaps there is a registry key I can edit to force vibrate on incoming text message?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] websurrfr:
I solved my problem. Perhaps it will help others as well. What I did was, I placed a custom .wav file in the Windows directory and assigned the Incoming Text Message sound to that .wav file. Then I set the phone to vibrate. Now it vibrates on receiving a text message.

Video recording issue

There have been issues of the video recording function no longer working properly after flashing most of the available ROMS on a new AT&T Tilt with a Qualcomm(R) 7201 CPU. It's unclear what changes or differences there are between the 7201 models and the 7200 models or if it is even completely related to new phones at all. But so far, of the people reporting this issue, they all have recently purchased their phones within the last month or two and confirmed that they have the 7201 CPU.

Initiating the problem:

After flashing to most of the available ROMS in the forum (I use Dutty's V2 Hybrid) the video recording capability will be broken.

When using the video recording function, the camera continues to record as long as it doesn't attempt to make too great an adjustment for lighting. It tends to prefer low light environments if it is to continue recording. As soon as you switch to focus on something bright, like a computer monitor, it stops recording. Not only that, but if you use the "Low FPS Camera Temporary Fix" (which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=365345 ) in an attempt to reduce camera blur, the recording will stop as soon as you start it.

When you go to play the actual file, you will notice that before attempting to play, the thumbnail for the video is a solid green box. In some cases, it's speckled with red dots. Windows Media Player may freeze up when trying to play this file. Attempting to play it in TCPMP will usually yield a garbled video with lots of colorful pixels. The sound in the video seems fine but the video seems corrupt or damaged. Uploading the file to a desktop and attempting to play it in various media players results in a grey box as the video and properly playing audio (at least).

This issue is being documented here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=387057

As of now, there are only two roms that seem to work and they are the original shipped AT&T ROM that came with this new tilt and NoThrill's latest WM6.1 ROM . Older AT&T ROMs or any of the latest roms available by the other ROM chefs still result in the broken video recording with these phones.

Another thing to note is that flashing the older AT&T ROM or most (if not all) the ROMS that cause this issue seem to list the CPU as the 7200. Flashing to the original shipped AT&T ROM will list the CPU as 7201. I have not confirmed this on the NoThrills ROM but I would assume it'd say 7201 as well. Not sure if that helps anyone who's trying to pinpoint the exact change that's causing this issue.

Excuse my first post, but i have a question regarding my tilt. Just recently when i attempt to send a text message a messaging warning pops up that says "Cannot recognize one or more recipients or the address is not valid. Would you like to send the message anyway?" There are 2 boxes below the message, one yes and one no. If i choose yes the text message is sent and works fine, but the warning pops up EVERY time i send a text. Is there anything i can do to get rid of this warning? I have tried to find the answer to my question but my technological ignorance has gotten me nowhere. Thanks for any and all help provided.

text message warning

Are the recipients part of your contact list? If not, try adding them to your contact list first. When you compose your message and place their name in the To: box, click Menu, add Recipient, it will take you to the contacts page where you can ad them. The next time you want to send to that person, you should only have to click on that name listed in your contacts. It will ask you if you want to call or send a message to that person. Click on send message and it automatically adds it to the message form.:)

Some of the unresolved bugs iv noticed... and im new to the Tilt.

im using Dutty's 6.1 rom.

when i plug in my phone to the computer usb , the screen is always on, it doesnt turn off at all. iv changed the settings to turn off, and it doesnt.

also the keyboard mapping is a little messed up... when i select @, it gives me ! etc etc... as far as i understand this seems to be a common problem with the original dash... its amazing how HTC, and ATT released a phone with incorrect keyboard mappings.

these minor software issues are annoying... how could anyone not fix them before releasing them to the public. another bug i found is when u select the Missed Calls section and then u hit the End Call button, the whole screen gets messed up and u can only fix it by hard reboot.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] demigawd:
not sure if someone posted these issues before, but I figure I'd put them here anyway:

1. By far, the most annoying bug is the keyboard delay. It can take 5-6 seconds between the time I press a key and the time it prints on the screen, especially when I'm typing fast.

2. Along the same lines, I find that often, typing the same letter twice in rapid succession will only cause the letter to print once to the screen. So sometimes:

I will go travelling to Holland in the summer

will end up looking like this on the Tilt:

I wil go traveling to Holand in the sumer.

Although in practice, it's random, so it may look more like this:

I will go traveling to Holand in the summer.

And it will take FOREVER for it to come out.

3. Hyper-sensitivity during phone calls - I don't know how my ears do it, but at least half a dozen times, i've somehow managed to navigate to the settings screen and activate flight mode, instantly cutting off any conversation I might have been having.

4. Data disconnect - this started after installing kaiserTweak. I set the data to automatically disconnect after a couple of minutes to save battery life, but since it seemed to cause all kinds of problems with the Tilt not being able to get a data connection again without turning on and off flight mode, which of course wreaks havoc on email notifications of all types. I've since turned the auto-disconnect feature off, but it's STILL disconnecting all the time. I'd say one out of five times it disconnects, it won't reconnect without toggling flight mode.

5. Systems "forgets" to wake up - this issue was partially fixed with the second ROM, but it still happens sometimes. basically, if the phone is sleeping, it will forget to trigger alarms or reminders. Like I said, it happens MUCH less often now than it did before the ROM update, but it still happens, and the randomness of it makes it undependable.

6. Alarm goes off during phone calls - I hate that the alarm will obnoxiously go off during phone calls and NOT stop, nearly killing my ear.

7. 3G data takes 5 minutes or more to reconnect - I commute on the train each day, which goes underground, above ground, then underground again. I find that when I'm on 3G, it drops the connection when I'm underground (which is OK), but then when I'm above ground again, it will take five minutes or longer for the connection to return. In EDGE, it returns within 30 seconds.

8. Inconsistency with simultaneous voice/data. When I'm tethered, I can NEVER use the phone at the same time. When I'm on the phone, I can RARELY use data at the same time (yes, it's 3G). When I'm connected via ActiveSync, I can SOMETIMES surf at the same time.

I had a question regarding the music capabilities of the Tilt.

I installed the PocketPC Player I found on this board onto the phone, and I purchased an 8 gig MicroSD card that I proceeded to fill about halfway with music files.

The thing is, when I first insert the card, the program seems to recognize all the files. However, when the program is exited and re-entered later, only about 60-100 files are still there. When I go to File Explorer, I can only see these files...everything else seems to disappear.

I know they're still on the card, because putting it back onto my laptop to check revealed that all the files were still present.

So why can't I see all the files present, and why won't they appear in the music program?

The only thing I can guess is that maybe the File Explorer can't display 1000+ files in the same folder?

I've been having a problem making and answering phone calls.

I have yet to identify the catalyst but occasionally I'll get a phone call, press answer and I get no audio and the person can not hear me on the other end, but the call remains "connected" as long as the other person stays on the line.

Today I made a phone call to my boss, we talked briefly and ended the phone call. 4-5 minutes later I called him again and it said connected, however he was unable to hear me and I could not hear him. He called me back, I answered and it worked fine again.

I'm running the most recent ATT rom, unlocked sim + cid.

I have a bluetooth stereo/hands free, which was not currently in use (but I mention it because before I got it I had not yet experienced this issue; however I'd only had the phone for a day so it may be unrelated).

Among the many bugs and annoyances of my TYTN-II, I would like to second this issue. Very often, but not always, my phone looses it's GPRS/EDGE data connection on my way to work, or back home from work. All I can do is to restart the phone module - by going into flight-mode and back, or by simply stopping and starting the phone. While not being able to connect to the GPRS/EDGE network, I can still connect through my WIFI access point at home.
