Well, being a somewhat n00b to PPC's, and curious to see just how many of my 8525 apps worked on the Tilt/TyTN/Kaiser, i tried to get the PTT fix application installed, which it did successfully, however after a soft reset you STILL cannot change the PTT button function like you could with the 8525/Hermes/TyTN. I even tried reinstalling with a soft reset, powered off, removed/replaced the battery, and still no luck. I would love to remap that useless button to, say, the GPS apps i have.
Give it some time my boy the tilt just came out I'm sure with due time these issues will be fixed. I would install the HTC ROM on your tilt anyway since its so much cleaner and better!
AT&T
Ditch the AT&T rom and go with the HTC ROM. You can remap the button as you wish without any extra utils.
I didn't think there was a way to install the Kaiser ROM yet, not to mention the ATT keyboard is different than the Kaiser and one would have to figure out a way to remap that appropriately.

I know this is my first post here but I've done my best to search the forums and I haven't found anything that looks like it helps me.
I just got my AT&T Tilt yesterday. It came unlocked (I'm using it with T-Mobile) and has an HTC ROM installed as well as various other apps (Ms. Pacman, TomTom 6, SuperDoku, etc.). I had some issues with it locking up yesterday (similar to what I'm experiencing now but to a much, much lesser degree) when I was playing around with it but those issues somehow corrected themselves.
This morning I installed the Tilt keyboard fix that TaurusBullba posted on here back in June to fix some mapping issues. Since I installed and soft reseted, everything has been going kinda haywire. The Wi-Fi turned itself off and I can't turn it back on. When I slide out the keyboard the orientation stays in portrait mode. When I try to shut down the phone using the power button it hangs forever. Now, actually, half the time I press the power button nothing happens at all.
I've tried uninstalling the CAB but that didn't fix anything at all. I'm afraid to try a hard reset because, from my understanding, I'm going to lose everything that came pre-installed on my phone for me. I should probably also add that last night I installed the Google Maps CAB with no problems whatsoever. Is there some simple solution I'm overlooking? Thanks much!
I would advise that if you have tried soft resets to try and resolve the issues and it hasn't worked, then perhaps a hard reset?
It sounds as if the software you have installed as either caused the problems or exacberated them (ie made them worse).
With hard reset it wipes everything back to when you got it. If you are able I would suggest that you plug it into the computer and make sure ActiveSync backups up your contents. You may also want to use this get all the files on the main memory either to the storage card or to you're PC.
As this is yo're first post I don't know how au fait you are with the above that I have mentioned
The preloaded apps will be reloaded again. You won't have an empty ROM if you do a hard reset. It will be as if you just flashed the ROM again.
Thanks for the replies guys. I went ahead and did a hard reset and it looks like the only thing I lost (or at least the only thing I miss) was TomTom. I've already reinstalled that using a link I found on here, and everything seems to be good to go.
I still have no idea what might have caused the problems though, so I'm afraid that they might come back or I might repeat some dumb mistake I made. I guess I'll just have to live with that for now.
clear storage / hard resets no big deal, just expect to do it every other week while you're finding all the cabs that work (or dont work) for you..
I generally clear storaged every week when i first got my tilt until I found all the app's I liked that didn't have side effects
I searched and couldn't find anything on this. I'm running one of Dutty's older roms. The exact one I am not sure of. It has the cube and all. Anyhow, I was trying to find a good onscreen qwerty keyboard and I installed the HTC Touch Keyboard + Keypad from Dutty's sight. Things were going fine all day now it seems as if i can no longer access my text or emails from any of the possible links. Really odd. If any one has a clue as to what's causing this that would be awesome. Oh I uninstalled the cab but this didn't help. Thanks!
usually when I have a problem and I've tried everything I can think of to fix it, I hard reset. Unless you have a ton of programs installed and customized options, hard reset.
to hard reset your device (this will wipe it clean by the way) press and Hold both soft keys while inserting your stylus into the soft reset hole. you'll get a screen with instructions on what to do next.
Yeah I have a bunch of things i'd hate to lose. Thanks though, i'll keep that as a last resort.
if you download and install "Sprite Backup" it will save your entire phone settings including customization, cab installs, and just about everything else. So that way you can hard reset and then just load up sprite backup to restore everything.
Randomly now, The phone will not go on standby when i press the button, or shutdown if i hold it?!?
I have the Official HTC rom on my kaiser, no aftermarket ones.
The phone also doesnt spin the screen when i open the keyboard, tomtom will not load etc.
What the heck is going on?
ok now when i try and load anything, all the files are missing, no reception.
Theo nly thing i have done is uninstall google navigator.
I am gonna have to hard reset i think.
sounds like its time for a hard reset.
I have just done and all is back
I for one, am not going to install rubbish applications, Tomtom, S2U2, kaiser tweak and a few reg settings. Thats it.
I need it to be reliable!
Cheers
I used to have an XDA Mini S, and thought wm6 would be different, but its just as bad, but not as bad as a blackberry
I don't have any problems and I'm an app whore. I install sorts of stuff. Doesn't mean I love them though.
Hi, I'm just turning on my 8925 for the first time and before setting it up I want to remove all the trial stuff. I set up, soft reset when the "3 seconds customization" comes up, but when the device turns back on, it takes me back to set up again (screen align, password, etc.) I've done this before with another Kaiser and I know it works, but this one keeps recycling the whole process. I've gone through the clear storage, set up, soft reset several times already and it's the same each and every time. What am I doing wrong?
I would keep resetting and if it still continues trying to install the bloatware, dump the rom and go with some of the other great ones. L26 Kaiser Diamond Rom V12 has been good for me lately, Schaps has some good ones ot there too. Those roms will better utalize the hardware on your kaiser. Hope this helps...
I'm so fed up with this. I going to stop now since I think too many resets will screw with the device. I'm starting to wonder if this is the same as the last Kaiser I had. For once there's a new green "window mobile 6.1" screen right after the AT&T logo at start up, which my other tilt didnt have. The screen says to wait while it's clearing storage everytime I do a hard reset, then take me to set up again, then back to the 3 seconds of bloated wares. Rinse and repeate. Another difference is that this one came with HTC Home today home screen the one with the big digital clock and tabs.
Could it be this is a used phone and the previous user loaded it with a different ROM?
You need to soft reset BEFORE the 3 second notice comes up...if the box pops up, you're too late and need to wait to get to the today screen once again. Remember...BEFORE...either way, there are many really nice ROMs out there...
Ah hah! Voila, you are THE man! Thank you thank you! <3
Still strange that this one came preloaded with HTC Home plug-in, though. But Im happy either way
My sister got a Tilt today and had the same issue (I tried to guide her over the phone to ditch the bloatware - she won't be flashing ROMs anytime soon...)
Hers contains the HTC Home plugin as well.
They've apparently updated the shipping ROM...
Glad to hear that it works fine before the 3 second box.
You'll be able to remap the PTT button right out of the box also. Good stuff.
Im just hoping this one doesnt have battery problem like the one I got before. I kept it as long as I could, even got an extra power battery for it (since the stock one drained after maybe 6 hours), until the damn thing heat up so bad while being charged that it almost burn my hand...
Been charging this one for a few hours and no heat problem yet!
/fingers crossed
You should really try a Manilla ROM--they are easy on the eyes, very nice interface...look up NATF or the AthineOS Manilla ROM. Both guys did a fantastic job on those...

hello. i recently upgraded to the latest WM6.5 rom (21189) by sun_dream. after the update it was ok. but i can't sync my BA with my pc. i noticed that i failed to "kill" wcescomm before running the update. i need your help! do i need to redo the upgrade itself? i tried to uninstall active sync 4.5 and installed 4.1 but the same results. please advise.
thanks & regards!

Umm I dont know if this would work for you, but try going to settings, connection, and usb connections. There look for something that says something about advanced wireless connections. Make sure thats on(checked). Cause that prevented me from active sync before.
IF that doesnt work, then perform a hard reset. It'll basically reset your devices settings.
To do a hard reset, push the reset button on the bottom of the Blue Angel with the stylus but quickly hold both the buttons on the left side(rec and media) after the reset. Your suppose to been have holding the buttons before the version shows up. After that, 3 things should show up. You want the 2nd and 3rd one to have yes on them, leave the kt memory things as no. Use the rec. to change from yes to no, and media button to scroll down. After the 2nd and 3rd are set to yes. Just hit the mail button. And a white screen should pop up, and the device would reset.
good job, tada1228
that's the way to go.
if all that, however, doesn't solve your problem, try a different, newer build, like 21193, 21198 or 21202.
21202 in my opinion, is the best wm6.5 rom so far, way faster than the revious build, and since your rom is under 21190, even just by one, it wouldn't support several plugins, like titanium weather, fave people and other things.
21189 is a nice build and i don't wanna diss sun_dream, but xplode's 21202 is just a little nicer, faster and i like it better (plus it has a way better extrom).
my BA is up and about! thanks alot, man..
