[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Real Life Review] lexridge:
I think devel is actually quite good. Well, with the exception that 2 or 3 devs are releasing all the available ROMs. That actually means that support for a single ROM is not that great, usually taking days until the dev replies, if at all. In my case, never. Something else that makes this phone very difficult to support, is the fact that individual ROMs are closely reliant on the firmware installed. Many ROMs require a specific firmware version. Most users are totally obvious to this. Look how many users have posted they cannot dial, or no sound, simply because they didn't update their firmware. To me, this is not a good road to go down and honestly makes MIUI a bad choice.

However, I love to fix and compile things, so my phone works great and this is probably the best and fastest phone I have ever owned, included all my previous Samsungs.. I plan on purchasing the top of the line Mi 9 in the next month or so and selling this one., but I do love it!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Real Life Review] nimbold:
Uh, so just not installing latest firmware causes all these weird issue that people have :|

I hope devs deal with this weird situation and keep the development alive.

All I want from a phone is active community here on xda and also good battery life.

Guess I should double check my options in this price range so I don't regret it in future ;)

BTW congrats on soon to come Mi 9. It's a beast :D
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Real Life Review] lexridge:
This phone is doesn't need a custom ROM to be awesome. Even stock rooted, this phone still rocks! Now that the kernel source is out there, hopefully things will get much better regarding custom ROMs.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Real Life Review] nimbold:
Yeah it has Pie which is latest till now and I guess Android Q will come by Xiaomi. This phone specs are too good to not get :D
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Real Life Review] rinampa:
I read a few comments above that this device is not very popular and does not have sufficient support from the developers, I came from the Zenfone 3 zoom and it was a year of terror.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
Would you say that the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite is "fast" in day-to-day use? A higher rating indicates that you think the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite exhibits fantastic performance. Like, is it as fast as your tears when you watch The Titanic?

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
As the title says, I have 1 new AT&T Tilt available. I am asking 350 shipped money order, add fees if paypal. If you are outside of the US we will discuss shipping charges. I will unlock the device and load the OS of choice (my unreleased 6.1 variant available) for those that do not want to do so themselves. I am paypal verified and will provide the paypal address via PM. The devices come with all original accessories. If you have any questions feel free to post or PM (I have finally cleared my PM box). Photos will be up later today or tomorrow dependent on when I have the chance to upload them.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rico002:
how did u get 4 tilts?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] P1Tater:
LOL, he stole them.:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] moddin:
Would you be able to do the latest duttythroy rom, with all the fixes for keyboard problems and other incompatibilities that occur from the rom that you know. Also which shipping method are you going to be using (speed, insurance, tracking, etc)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Taninpv:
I guess if it is too good to be true, then it probably is...:D

Just noticed that they are AT&T brand. (just my observation)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
LOL I wish, then they wouldn't have cost me anything! :p

yes, I can install duttys latest and apply all fixes, that's not a problem. As for shipping I will be using fedex priority overnight which is guaranteed by 10:30am in most cases. The package will be insured for $550 the retail value of the device and tracking will be provided as soon as item is shipped.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
What's too good to be true about it? There's pics of all 4 together in the 2nd post...

As for AT&T branding common sense would've told you that from the thread title...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] meeek:
daaamn, why couldn't you have had these in january?!

i would have sprung for those instead of the Kaiser itself that cost me 750 =/

*weeps uncontrollably in corner*
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] my95z34:
I've got one too.

*shrug* Just got it in the mail today.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _RMB_:
DAMN CUSTEL.....where in the HELL have you been at? ......missing in action or what.....damn you stuck over there in the hermes thread?...lol
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
Haha im a crackberry addict now so not really much around here for me. I still try to make roms from time to time. im debating a 6.1 rom now. haven't been in the hermes section in a minute.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] _RMB_:
aaawww.....you on that crack huh....hopefully youll come back.....we need to bring the JASJAMMIN days on over to the kaiser....lol
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
haha not a bad idea... the good ol' days :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] P1Tater:
I still get a kick out of your sig everytime I see it. He got so mad at me that day. It was hilarious.:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CodyJackasskicker:
Still have a tilt left? Ive been doing a bunch of reasearch on where to buy on but with your price and what your doing plus shipping seems like a better deal! Are the ESN's clear? As i am a Att subscriber and am worried about warrenty information.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
Yes, still available. The numbers are clean so you would have nothing to worry about.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CodyJackasskicker:
Where are you located? And i probable wouldnt be ready to buy until next week sometime
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
PM replied to.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rico002:
yea but how did u get 4 tilts
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
If you're not buying why does it matter? I bought them...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rico002:
Oh wow, ok then. if i knew i wouldnt have asked!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
Why would you ask a dumbass question in the first place?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Alexsha:
Maybe so he has an idea of whether or not he's buying something legit, stolen, broken, locked, unlocked, worthless, awesome, etc?

There's nothing wrong with asking where something came from if you're considering buying it.

If I went into a store to buy something and the salesperson told me I asked a dumbass question I'd tell him to screw off and walk out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
That's not a buying question. If he could read I stated ESN's are clean so would you like to try again?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rico002:
only dumbass answers...good luck sellin'em
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trjons:
Is, "Why are you selling these?" a stupid question?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
I bought them to sell them, came accross a deal I couldn't pass up. I intentionally was buying the 4 to keep 1 and sell the other 3 but I just cant go back to windows mobile from my blackberry.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mcmexican:
I don't know if anyone has asked you yet but are these stolen?????

-McMex
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cuboosh:
he clearly said they are clean ESN why the hell would u put a post in that refrence when it was already addressed? if your not interested in buying one you dont need to post a comment.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
Not only once but twice...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mcmexican:
What you already forgot my sense of humor or did me changing my avatar throw you off?

-McMex
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
haha I didn't even notice who posted it, figured it was another n00b :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mcmexican:
I was about to say that crackberry is warping your sense of humor. :D You know if you do keep one WM 6.1 battery life is amazing I know that is requirement for you.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
I agree, it seems a little tense in this Thread right now. :eek: It needs a Good Mooning.:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
haha nice... :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] F2504x4:
I just bought a new one myself,(and no i am telling for how much in this thread) and have been noticing a lot of these "new tilts showing up for sale in various places , so I can see CUSTEL getting a deal on buying several at a time.

Pretty fair price if you ask me with all that he is doing.

Btw quit bashing the newbs, they may well end up being the next hot Rom cooker IMO
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
I bash everyone, not just n00bs :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] AllTheWay:
I can vouch for that.

Why would anybody pay $450 for a Tilt from you when they can just purchase one from AT&T for that price without a contract.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
Probably because they're $550 without a contract, let me know if you need me to hold your hand to walk you through anything else...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trjons:
I just picked up a Tilt refurb for 149 with a contract but you have to be premier, sign a contract and accept a refurb (mine looked new).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
So in otherwords there was no point to that post....

1. You have to sign a contract

2. You have to have a premier account

3. You FAiL
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] trjons:
I was responding to the poster who said they were probably 550 from AT&T but as far as getting one out of contract yours is a good deal.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grizzley:
I am sure the original poster appreciates your very useful input into the thread.

Just to recap, I just read 5 pages of this thread ALL AT ONCE. So, what I get is:

1) Dudes got 4 ATT Tilts that are not stolen. He bought them at a good deal and is selling them.

2) He will sell them to you if you want him to.

3) There are idiots asking allot of dumb questions and setting themselves up for a dumb answer.

That's it...right?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
Precisely... :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] AllTheWay:
Do you practice on becoming an a*%hole or does it just come naturally to you?

Well when I was looking on Thursday to purchase new Tilt from a Official AT&T store they store manager quoted me $450. I guess, we just have different numbers. Sometimes the on-line price doesn't match the store price smart guy.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
It comes natural.

No, in the store it is $550 as well, they mis-quoted you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] AllTheWay:
Well I guess I am not surprised. Wouldn't be the first time AT&T has tried to screw me over.

I stand corrected $450 is a fair price for the phones. Good luck on the selling. :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] famewolf:
Well since the seller is being so nice to the newbies...I just purchased a brand new at&t tilt from ebay for $350 + $10 shipping. It also came with a car charger...3 pack of stylus's and seino holster. I used olipro's free unlocker to unlock it and flashed it with the latest L26 rom. Before you pay $450 check there and if you need help getting it unlocked PM me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sangwich:
It depends on the store. I was quoted $450 with data plan only and no contract.

But then I found out the T-Mobile store I signed up my SideKick with screwed me over with the contract so I just ended up going on craigslist and found a brand new Tilt for $350 but I had to unlock and flash the rom myself.

$450 is somewhat fair if you're too lazy to do a little research. Plus new phones are coming out real soon.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ld-runner:
anyone here can buy them from cdw.com for $444 all day long. New in box w/o a contract. That is where i bought mine.

Tilt vs Iphone

i dont know if this is the right place to post because you guys will obviously be biased towards the tilt..

what do u think , should i buy a Tilt or the current Iphone ?

i like to browse the net thru wifi quite a bit, check emails. also while talking voice quality is important, signal strenth is important too.

any suggestions is appreciated. thx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tseten:
im trying to decide whether to buy Iphone or Tilt.... such a diliemna
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ld-runner:
it depends on what you are going to do. of course, this has been discussed a million times in a million different places.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] grizzley:
Get lost. Are you kidding me???????

First, this is a guys thread that is trying to sell a phone. Nobody cares about you, your iphone dilemma or anything else. Get out of here. Have some respect for the guy who started this thread!!!!!

ld-runner - same goes for you. Don't feed the idiots around here. You should have told this guy to beat it and not started helping is worthless reply to:

For Sale: 4 NEW AT&T Tilts - Unlocked | OS of Choice | 450 Shipped | PayPal Verified

What does his dilemma with an iPhone have to do with CUSTEL selling phones?

Geeezzzzzzzzzz!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
Yeah all those that decided to chime in on the price, I hope you..............Mod Edited

Didn't mean to hijack the thread custel. Carry on.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] famewolf:
Obviously, since you apparently are trying to do exactly that to your customers as well. I'm sure comments like the above give your potential buyers such warm fuzzies.

Folks wanting a cheap tilt can also get a refurb for free with contract...keep the service for 1 month and pay the $175 early termination fee. Final cost: $175 + $40 for one months service.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tseten:
lol that was a great trick.. whoever thought of it first..

i heard it the other day from someone but it was too late... ATT got smart and changed the price from Free to 150.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] livefastdiefun87:
HAHAHA ROFLMAO

Seriously guys, stop your *****ing at custel, he is a great contributer to the forums and cooks some of the best ROM's around. This guy is always genuine.

If you aint interested in buyin a phone then quit your belly aching and go to another thread:cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tseten:
by the way, i just bought one off custel... cant wait to get my hands on it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ljinsane:
Glad to see custel still has the charm...but why buy a tilt from someone who obviously is an asshole, doesnt give you a replacement warranty...and is again an asshole...when you can just buy one from CDW like another poster did...off craiglist for much cheaper like another poster did or if your with Att and you current phone is under warranty still...make them upgrade you to the tilt for free...that what I did and its still under waranty...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wilsonzone:
This is a great opportunity for for someone looking for a new phone.

Custel is a trusted member of this community and he has contributed to many here. A Custel rom would be great for anyone to have, especially if your just starting out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tseten:
okay i was all excited. i got the phone today...the phone looks new...I let the battery charge fully... i come back in couple hours and put in my tmobile Sim and guess what... its LOCKED... Network Lock....

i guess i have to sim unlock this myself now.

so according to the wiki, i have to downgrade to the original WM6 and then SIM UNLOCK and then reflash it. :mad: im not even familiar with any of the custom roms and the different steps for the Tilts.... oh man.... sucks... its probably going to take atleast 6 hours of my time tomorow or on the weekend... and if i am lucky i wont brick my phone.

just makes me frustrated...i bought it from here so i wouldnt have to do all that myself and now i have to do it anyways and more work....

if anyone knows if its possible to Sim Unlock without downgrading can u suggest how ? thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] CUSTEL:
Didn't have another carriers sim to test with, to my knowledge it was unlocked.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] P1Tater:
Just use jocky's security unlocker. it also sim unlocks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
I personally Guarantee, if you follow directions and do it right, the flashing to 6.0 ROM then Unlocking Then back to 6.1 will not take more the 15 minutes of your Precious time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] famewolf:
The olipro unlocker is the one I used but VERY importent..if it's a new tilt you will need to install JUMPSPL first to get HARDSPL to install (use the "white screen post" for these files instead of doing "step 1" in the olipro unlocker...from there you can install a wm6.1 rom like l26 multimedia because the UNLOCK step requires wm6.1...not wm6.0 which is what the phone comes with. Install the l26 multimedia rom and then run the step to install the "special radio rom"...then you can run the unlock step...if you run the unlock step on a wm6.0 rom you get a blank screen instead of being able to see the unlocker on your phone....so basically you could have saved $100 since you are having all this to do anyway.

To CUSTEL. If you are selling 4 phones (I'm assuming you got some sort of deal like buy 4 for $1000) then you could make the effort to pay $10 for a prepaid tmobile sim to make sure you unlocked the things before selling.

To JimmyMcgee...this is how I read YOUR post.... idiotic blathering, cover for CUSTEL, idiotic blathering. He advertised the phones as "For Sale: 4 NEW AT&T Tilts - UNLOCKED| OS of Choice | 450 Shipped | PayPal Verified"....what are they paying the extra $100 for if not the unlocking and flashing of rom? And in case you missed the memo... G.W.E.N.I is dead and has been moved into the kaiser faq.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
Thank you. I guess my approximately 700 post has helped no one. Just my pontificating from my perch with my nose in the air.

To be perfectly honest, given the timbre of the posts in this thread, I would be suspect to what Custel was selling. My feeling is when asked where you got them, a normal person would say, " I got a deal i couldn't refuse." Instead he said, "No of your damn business" To me, I would question the amount of effort that was put into this. I'm not trying to disrespect Custel here. Just saying, you buy from a self-proclaimed asshole, you are likely to get burned.

And if you read my post, I personally guaranteed the unlocking would be easy. Sounds like more than idiotic blathering to me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] :
How the hell did you get the phone so fast, that is like not even 24 hr shipping? Sorry to hear about your situation.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] famewolf:
No no...I'm quite certain somewhere in your 700 posts you were quite helpful to someone. The law of averages is certainly on your side. I'm also sure if my post count was lower or my join date was lower you'd be chewing me a new one based on some of YOUR recent posts. I referenced a SPECIFIC post you made where you denigrated a purchaser about their "precious time" and added a rather obnoxious "gerber developer" pic to the end.

Just for the record..I have cooked rom's including a port to wizard of a hermes rom..not just adding packages to someone else's rom. I have developed open source software and I am a software developer with 15 years of experience in real life.

Point in fact...unlocking of the new tilts with the 7201 chip instead of the 7200 chip is NOT easy. It's a pain. If you try to install Hardspl using any of the normal unlockers it FAILS. You may get a plain white screen on your phone and not be able to do ANYTHING until you find the post on XDA about it and find the file to copy and run. If you follow the instructions in the olipro unlocker you will end of confused because even after you figure out how to get past hardspl it tells you to install a custom radio and then flash a wm6.1 rom for the unlock step. Most rom's come with a radio built in which wipes out the "custom" one so you have to REFLASH the custom one...and then after the "unlock" step you have to REFLASH the wm6.1 rom to reinstall the radio it needs. Did I mention you have to uncheck the "advanced connection" checkbox on the wm6.1 rom under USB-TO-PC to even get the phone to sync in the first place?

These are things a newbie shouldn't have to try to track down when they are paying extra to AVOID them.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
Oh these have the 7201. I still am not 100% sure what the actual differences are, as people seem to be attributing everything to the difference. Also, maybe that is why Custel thought he had it done, when alas it was not.

Overall, I'm here to have fun. Otherwise I don't do it. So no personal offense was meant by it. I personally enjoyed unlocking, HardSPLing, and flashing my phone. Though I can see that there may be other who don't.

But I still would of bought the phone from someone who came across a little nicer, in case I did have any problem. Now that poor guy is stuck because of who he bought it from.

EDIT: BTW Famewolf, we should stop or Custel will crawl up our asses for hijacking his thread. :p
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tseten:
wow... got it Unlocked... thanks for all that posted...and tried to help... one of them was NOT custel...

i actually just bought the code online... gave them my IMEI # and i got the code... whole thing took 10 seconds.

i tried reading up on that all that radio and rom stuff, different version... too much work... and besides i have Wm6 dutty on it so i dont think i will be flashing to new ROM anytime soon. so didnt really feel like reading up on all these roms and radios and what not.

custer - kudos for the fast shipping... i didnt ask for overnight shipping, but u did anyways. i wish u actually replied to my messages on how to unlock it.

either u are really busy or u are really a jerk... anyway im just glad i got my phone and it works great so far.

now i just need to figure out how to get TomTom on this. hopefully i can get that running over the weekend.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JimmyMcGee:
If you thought Unlocking was easy TomTom is even more so. Though there is sometimes a Twist on Certain Phones. If you need help go ahead and PM me, I'd be glad to help.
