Why I like my phone

Toms – I have never owned a smart phone before. I do know my way around a PC computer, but have always had the basic cell phone. I decided on the ATT&T tilt based on my first impression only. I thought it was aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Plus, I liked the tilt part of the phone. I knew absolutely nothing else about the phone or its’ capabilities. I did a search for reviews of the ATT&T tilt. Once I stumbled upon XDA forums and realized what I was actually looking at with all the available customizations, I was hooked! How perfect. I would not have purchased the phone if I couldn’t flash it. There are a lot of other Windows Mobile phones out there, but for me, the tilt was pretty, comprehensively customizable and I knew that with some hard work on my part, I could fall very easily in love with this phone and that’s exactly what happened after I got set-up yesterday. And then I had sex with it. Just kidding, JUST KIDDING – I am in rare form today. Happy, excited about my phone and thrilled that I actually accomplished something I felt was very complicated initially. All this happiness despite a rapidly approaching economic meltdown!!! :eek:

At least I will have my phone.

~Gwen

P.S. I will try your suggestions on the video issue, but I don’t think it will work as I have already done that three times. Is it possible that something in my connections is off or is the video aspect completely controlled by the flash video/TCMP file(s)? Everything I have read refers to the Flashvideo and TCMP files being installed. I have installed and reinstalled them several times and I have even HARD RESET, SOFT RESET.

I was thinking that maybe when the device sets up your internet connection for the first time after HARD RESETTING, that somehow these settings need to be changed, because I always get the error that the device couldn’t connect for unknown reasons and to check my settings. When I check settings everything looks fine. This only happens after the video player loads up.

P.S.S. Sherpa – I can only surmise from your post that it was meant as a joke - you being a senior member and all since 2004, but it was funny. Whenever I read the word “Sherpa”, I immediately think of Mount Kilimanjaro. Wonder why? Hmmm…
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] kyphur:
Just like a Chick to like the "Tilt" feature of the Kaiser. My 16 year old daughter just got her tilt 2 week ago (previously had an 8125 and 8525), of course that is at the top of her list when asked what's best about it. (Just kidding on the "Chick" comment)...

Regarding you Streaming Video problems, are you aware of the "Cingular Proxy" issue? Find the cab files for "restore or disable hidden cingular proxy" use the disable cab file and see if your video streaming works. Some Media Net stuff requires the "Hidden Cingular Proxy" to be enabled but it also blocks some content until you disable it.

This thread has definately been a breath of fresh air, thanks.;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
LMAO

That's just to funny...The mind is definitely in the gutter right now! Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tomsenna:
...and the name?

Why oh why the name "skunk"?

Seems a bit derogatory.

On the other hand, given the drink offers, declarations of love and even proposals, perhaps self-deprecation is an aphrodisiac. (I hope you're laughing as hard as I am on this one)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sherpa:
No dude...I'm serious.......NOT! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] waichai:
SkunkyGwen

I think all the boys in here feel in love with you (including duttythroy <---best chef, AllTheWay and P1Tater <----most two active senior members :D unless they are gay? :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
I really don't see the fuss in this thread. To me, it's just another redundant thread, with a selfish n00b posting to get attention to their latest endeavors.

The only thing different is that this person is claiming she's a blonde female. Please post pics that will identify you along with your primary and secondary sexual characteristics, by either posting them here or sending them via PM.

:D :D

LOOOL, I know I'm a very bad person :D J/K... Congrats...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tomsenna:
dude, you rock! too funny!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Ok, I take part of my previous post back.

This thread isn't redundant, because it clearly shows that any person, if they get past their own fears, can easily perform any technological change, if proper documentation is given. Hopefully this thread will inspire others to do the same.

Anywhoo, Gwen is right, and since I am a straight shooter, I'll cut back to the chase. I wouldn't mind pics at all cuz like the rest of the guys here, I'm a sucker for blondes :eek:

But please understand that I'm not trying to harass you in any way, just playing along like everyone else has in this thread. :cool: Primary and secondary sexual characteristics are optional and can definitely be sent via PM! :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] etnies:
no way in hell im reading all of that..

welcome to the forum though..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jarek91:
a little cranky? :mad: I knew you were awfully laid back today Tater, but I didn't realize that someone had actually managed to lobotomize you with a chainsaw. Sheesh...I probably rank as the top angry poster in the Kaiser fora these days. I somehow manage to push the limits of how to verbally rape and beat people for being irritating to me. You do remember I'm irritable, right? Perhaps I should make a Wiki for you. But then I'd have to deal with you telling me you couldn't find out why I'm so mean and then I'd have to burn yer carcass to the ground like a thermite bomb on a Pinto to remind you to hit the freakin Wiki just like I've told you the last 50 posts. :p

And for the record on the gay comment...

I'm a woman trapped in a man's body, but it's okay...I'm a lesbian :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Tyler QB:
gwen, I just did the same. Got my tilt yesterday (first ppc) and spent the night upgrading rom, installing cabs, and customizing it to my liking. Except a couple things were different for me. I'm a tech savy guy but a noob to this none the less. Good job on getting started the right way!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jarek91:
Jarek's Patented Creative Razing Technique - a process by which Jarek simultaneously verbally abuses a n00b poster for being stupid and entertains wiser forum members with the creative turns of phrase. This technique has the advantage of letting Jarek be a complete and total arse while making and retaining friends (because he says what everyone else wants to say). Using said technique without a Jarek91 PCRT User License (available for 5USD and one untainted soul) is punishable by a bad mark on your profile...followed by death.

And the avatar? Remy LeBeau..."Gambit" from the X-Men comics. He's kewl and he's got taste in women. (...yes Tater...I'm not right in the head...)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cagdas:
OK I will jump on the wagon and congratulate Gwen, but while reading her post I could not stop thinking the alternative:

“Hi my name is Tom, I am a bald, fat doctor and as I am not a girl and blond I have to work 20 hr a day and only have 10-15 minutes every day to sit in front of the computer. I tried to spend 3 weeks and read all the posts to fix my phone which I need because I was on call but my patients start dying on me. I had only one minute to search the answer to my question and I couldn’t pass the posts that are asking why the sound on people’s phone is not working and the following 20 posts from members getting mad at this guy who did not read the wiki.”

Please do not get mad at me too I don’t say people should start asking questions without reading anything I found the wiki and other sticky pages very helpful but some of the threads are so cluttered with redundant questions and unnecessary answers to these questions, (I mean the ones that grill the person who ask the question, I really think not answering at all or just giving the answer is much better then posting 20 angry posts), it is very hard to find the answer to your question (yes I know search google is your friend but remember I have only 1 minute :) ).

I hope I did not offend anyone but could not stop thinking that she can spend 3 weeks, I wish I had that much time to read.

Well here it goes I add another useless post to the tread hurray :).

Again, Gwen I think what you did was right but there might be other noobs that are noobs becase they don't have the time to read one way or an other.

Best

PS: hey this get too long am I a girl too, or a fat doctor ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thomassster:
hitting on her? no way? but i'll start.

Gwen...pic?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _Alex_:
Yes, there are people that have better things to do, including myself answering countless redundant threads, which is why I believe we need to work on the Wiki, FAQ and other resources to make things easier to find.

Rather than ask and take up someone else's time, it's more efficient for the blonde female or the male doctor to just *SEARCH*, w/o requiring the interaction of others, especially when the results can be found within the first couple of results.

To teach others in determining what search terms are required, what I've decided to do lately is to include the search term I've used and a very humorous link :D

And finally, if you're going to say you're a blonde female, I say prove it :D I want to know if the drapes match the curtains too!

Until then, all of you are guys :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] jarek91:
I would have had a totally different but just as complimentary reply had the post been from a fat doctor and not a blonde woman. I'm always happy to see someone did what I did...read through things and learn the do's and don'ts before actually doing anything.

As for your other example...if the guy is workin that hard and only has 10 minutes a day...then what is he doing with a Kaiser? He obviously doesn't have time to actually use it for anything. He needs to be stopping those people from dying. Do you realize that the next great Zen master just flatlined and don't get me started on the current situation with that guy that is supposed to cure cancer and the common cold (we're still having nightmares about how he got into that position)...where the hell is he? DR. ALLCOME TO E.R.!!!

Well...so I kinda got a little into that whole hypothetical situation. Anyway the point is that flashing and modding your device takes time. If you don't have the time to deal with it...don't do it. Besides, there are several places that have consolidated instructions like the Wiki (did I mention I've started helping out with the Wiki? There's links in my sig) and the Sticky...there's even been a few redundant threads started and even a blog post on my personal website. If you don't have time to use any of these resources, I have no mercy.

I am the embodiment of unholy wrath and destruction that will reign a destruction upon thy head so horrible that generations will soil themselves at the sheer mention of your name for the images of what was left whence I was finished with you. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] tomsenna:
Absolutely agree.

Sincerely, The Other Tom (not fat, not bald) :cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gthing:
I'm going to second that your youtube issue is probably due to the AT&T proxy. It has been covered a lot and any roms specifically for AT&T (ahem ... like mine) come with the proxy switcher program.

As I was reading the first post I thought to myself "zomg, now watch the marriage proposals roll in :rolleyes: " especially after you were so careful to mention that you were now single. Sure enough, not two posts down ...

Boys: keep your pants on. Do you really want a girl who will argue with you about which phone rom is best?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
If the winner gets a b/j, why not?

sorry, I know its a dumb answer. Apologies to all women.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] MikeChannon:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
It looks like your avatar is looking at the guy and is laughing at him.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] MikeChannon:
LoL. I think blondes suit cigars:D

Mike
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
yes, but it depends on which blonde and what kind of cigar.:eek:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sub69:
I've always vaguely wondered how many people on these boards were women, I only know of a few.

Having read through this thread I'm certainly starting to believe that most people around here are very, very single...

Not really sure if I should congratulate a n00b for doing the bleedin' obvious, but taking the chromosome / melanin allocation into consideration, it's an achievement that shouldn't be under-estimated, so well done.

Video problem - as stated, Check Cingular proxy, make sure you have the latest version (1.4.4?) of FlashBundle, TCPMP 0.72RC1, check file associations, tinker around with anything else you think may have an effect. I'm sure you'll get there eventually...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Guilf:
Wondered the same thing many times. Always have to stop myself from saying "he" and "him".

Very, very single and apparently very, very desperate :) They found one of the few they know is a girl and this thread is suddenly six pages long with dudes fawning all over themselves to congratulate Gwen on reading and comprehending and trying to solve her problem - all with the same answers. I've spent enough time online that I know I don't want to hit on a girl until I've at least seen a picture. When I started cooking my own ROMs, my girl jokingly took to calling my Tilt my nerdbox. Seems even more appropriate after reading this thread. ;)

That being said, this thread has been entertaining. Thanks Gwen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
Man, I know what u are talking about. My girls is still complaining.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
I was wondering if you would ever check back and see my comment. ROFL:D

See what I mean Gwen? He's like this all the time. LMFAO:p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
You two guys are teasing each other like a young couple.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] P1Tater:
LOL, my wife calls my phone my mistress.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
I thought I am the only one with this kind of "problem".
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] deadphill:
Just read half of the stuff on here before I got bored.

Call me cynical, but the very fact a noob posted on here to say that they were a noob that has read the threads and found all the information out says to me that there is a possibility that this is not a genuine noob!

But as with some other opinions I might be wrong.

We were all a noob at one time or another, and while I can understand frustrations sometimes (learner drivers for one piss me off sometimes!) I think we need to step back, take a breath, relax and breathe out! Then type! Imagine, you are new you dont want to get flamed yet you are presented with a topic of over 600 threads. You do a search but the problem is that the results hardly get filtered because a) you are not used to how people might post and b) the size of the thread is so big, you would need to filter the filtered results!

Perhaps with all new registrations some sort of flash presentation of general tips for posting and searching could be made compulsory? That way no one can truly say they have not seen or heard what to do.

Just my tuppence worth, feel free to make comments/flame/ignore!

Thanks

Phill
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Mikulec:
Exactly what I was thinking about. Some kind of compulsory reading before u can download something(especially roms).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] nv00021:
Thanks so much....I will try it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xmoo:

I tried this and I cannot get it past the bootloader screen.....a white screen flashed for 1 second (which I cannot read but I think it says no file) and then it just remains in the bootloader screen.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

So Gwen, what kind of case/holster did you bless your device with? I just received my Seidio Rubberized Case/Holster Combo for the Kaiser this morning.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] JimmyMcGee:
You could always reset up your connect without Reflashing. If you look around there are numerous Settings Cabs available, I would try one of those. and For S&Gs I would goto Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connection Setup. Click OK and see what happens.

Also I agree with the Disable proxy might help too. AT$T is so nice about letting you surf unencumbered ... not!

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Manage existing connections -> Proxy Settings Uncheck "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet."

EDIT: Ohh... Thought of something else you might could check... in Advanced Config Menu -> Connection settings Make sure they are "Enabled" or "Always on."

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Gibbs:
Hey, Gwen!! I'm a female blonde nOOb, and I did it, too! High five, friend! I've already flashed three new ROMs, and I've had my tilt just about a month. I almost posted reallllly stupid questions several times, but kept searching the forum until I figured out what to do.

I'm currently using Alex's multimedia ROM, and added some purchased third-party software. I hadn't decided whether to keep my tilt until I flashed a new ROM, and it made all of the difference in performance and stability.

I previously had a treo, and can't live without a PDA. The tilt is fantastic compared to the treo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] cagdas:
Wow Gwen you reply to every post, you must really have lots of free time in your hands.

PS: himm I read all that so I must have some free time too, I should go back to work people are dying.... oppps!

Wait, you skipped #33.... the name "SkunkyGwen"?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SkunkyGwen:
Smile - It's Thursday

Come on Alltheway - Can you really 'lump' me into a group like that without even knowing me? That word (Stoner) conjures up a Fast Times at Fridge Mont high, Dazed and Confused image which I am definitely am NOT. I hold down a very professional, but stressful job and at the end of the day, I love my sessions. Doesn't make me a stoner though. Maybe it does, but unlike many who do partake, I am actually motivated and my work and collateral duties do not suffer as a result. Having a hard time figuring out the meaning behind my name now? LOL :D

GIIBBS!!!! You are now my partner in crime. I have been reading up and my next step is to learn how to cook my own ROMS and ultimately, hopefully, come up with something appealing for people like me who want the diversity of a ROM along with all the pampering, but without all the tough guy cosmetics (Black Screen, unimaginative icons, etc.) You know. I want color, sound, visual cues, etc on my ROM. Most of these ROMS are guy oriented. Bold, Strong ROMS. I will learn how to do it and I will do it. Then, I will unleash a newfound sense of enthusiasm around here as far as what we want versus the plethora of ROMS designed by guys with guys in mind. I have only seen a purple interface which looked pretty cool, but it didn’t quite do it for me and purple is one of my favorite colors. Another is Red.

Yes. It is nice to have free time. We all have so little of it and the further the stinkin’ dollar drops, the more dollars Americans have to hold to buy things which is why you have to work harder and longer. By now, inflation should be just about starting to work on eating your guts out. The sad, the really sad part is that those who will suffer first, and suffer the most, from price inflation are those who do not (or cannot) increase their incomes to match the increase in prices, and they will suffer piteously because their fixed incomes will not buy as much stuff as it did yesterday, and tomorrow will be worse, and every day for the rest of their lives that they do not, somehow, miraculously, get an increase in their income, it will be worse than the day before, and they will grow angry that they must always buy less and less, and pretty soon people are getting desperate, which turbo-charges "angry." Of course, one can argue whether technology has made the guillotine passé as the weapon of choice amongst rioting mobs of angry people made destitute by price inflation, or whether the Uzi and the shoulder-fired rocket-propelled grenade are an advancement or not, but there it is.

I'd love to have a prettier ROM! I've already made my today screen a bit more aesthetic with a nice nature shot, taken by moi. Let me know when you get your ROM done - I'll have to check it out!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Sleuth255:
Nicely done. :):) Now here's how to pay us all back:

Start answering a few noob questions yourself if you know the answers... Then, as you get better at it, maybe you might want to release that cooked ROM or code up a utility or, dare I say it, if you reach a God-like level of expertise, hack the SIMLock on the next new phone :eek:
