I just placed my order for the AT&T Tilt and it should arrive sometime next week. I've been reading that there is alot of demo programs and useless programs.
If I cancel the AT&T customization, will it still have all the AT&T network settings? or will I need to enter that in manually?
Also, what software would I be missing if I cancel the AT&T customization?
Thanks!

Ok I have the AT&T Tilt obviously and I have been trying to get the operator names that I entered to show up. It still says AT&T on the "Home" Tab and on the "Wirless" tab. But when I set the phone to manually let me search for a tower and it shows the networks available it shows the names I have entered into the OperatorNames folder. Also when I change AT&T(310-410) to say sucks after restart it will swith back to AT&T in the registry. I also tried changing the registry HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting ONSDisplayRule to 0,1,2,3 originally it was on 4. and still no luck. Am I missing something. And yes I am positive the registry edits are done correctly(did it on the Cingular 8125). And no the phone is not unlocked. *Update* the operator names folder was there already with the registry AT&T(310-410) if deleted it still shows AT&T and returns upon restart. Maybe somebody knows something I don't or I just happen to have a lemon.
Nobody have anything, no idea, well has anyone else had a problem when changing there operator name and it keeps coming back, that could be a start???
Sounds like ATT is your operator. I don't think you can just change that.
Not trying to switch the "Operator" from AT&T to say T-Mobile, just trying to get the Name AT&T changed to say Cingular. But each time I change the registry 310-410 from AT&T to Cingular, it only shows Cingular in the Manual Selection box, but not on the Today Screen. So what I am saying is that it does work, but does NOT show different on the Today Screen. And Resets back to AT&T in the registry on soft-reset. There must be some edit somewhere in the registry to keep it from changing names on the today screen and change back on reset. The Personalizer cab worked, but what I am really looking for is the phone to show me which network I am using and not just AT&T all the time.
What I'm saying is I don't think you can do that.

Yeah, but ATT/Cingular devices are setup to override that and show every network as ATT/Cingular. There is a setting in the phone to read the network name from the phone, or from the SIM, by default ATT phones read the network name from the SIM, and all of their SIM cards are programmed to show all networks as either ATT or Cingular for the older ones. Its not a big deal though, its just the network name. My unhacked phones all read AT&T, most of my hacked phones all read Cingular.

Maybe Jay can shine some more light on it.
Yea that makes sense I kinda wondered that. Ok then maybe you might know a little bit more why I can take that same sim card and put it in my Cingular 8125 and yes it does say Cingular for the network, but it will also show, for instance in my area, iWireless when it does roam over.
Maybe that phone isn't as locked down as the tilt???
So there probably is a way it just hasn't been found.
So does unlocking the phone change anything?? Or what about non AT&T Tilt Kaiser's do they have the same issue?? Its obviously something that AT&T installs on the setup of the device and puts some settings in the boot registry to block it. Where does the "Home" tab get the Provider Name from because I can get the "Wireless" tab to change, but am unsuccessful on the Home tab unless you use the personalizer.
Hello. I am trying to use one of these cards on my unlocked tilt as I want to go to Spain this month and use it there. I can check my balance and I can see the network, Rogers wireless. I cannot call it from another phone and I cannot find a way to call from it. They say I may need the "go-sim menu" which should magically appear under the phone menu or some other menus depending on the phone. Only I cannot find it anywhere.
Has anybody used one of these before? Any help would be gratly appreciated. Thanks.
My wife and I used a similar product from MAXroam during our trip last month to Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Once we put the MAXroam SIM in our unlocked AT&T Tilt devices, there was a new entry in the Programs folder named "Roaming" that we had to use to make calls via a small menu list.
Incoming calls came in the normal way, except that most of them came in as "Private Caller," due to the methods by which that particular service operates. Hope that info helps, and that your trip goes well.
Thanks. I found it on mine it's called ... "SIM Menu". I was looking for a folder... Thanks again
Also, I can call it on ATT although I could not on Rogers, eh!
Who has it working? I put my SIM in from my Tilt and I get a SIM not found. I put in my T-Mobile SIM and I get a SIM not found. I hear of people using these in the states. Help a brother out and tell me what you had to do to get it going.
Thanks in advance
ATT Working on Touch Diamond
I have an ATT sim card and took it out of my Tilt to my Orbit 2 and into my TD. It automatically set it up. I had to do nothing to it. Worked out of the box. I dont know what you have to do. It should set up and start working. Did you get the option to set up for ATT????? I guess it has to read the SIM card to be able to do that...Check again the orientation of the Sim... I put mine in backward first time.
3g

Are you getting 3G on the att sim? If so. what part of the country are you in?
are you getting a good reception for voice? how fast is the data connection?
Satisfied so far
My sim worked right away, not sure why it does not recognize yours.
T-Mobile Data: $20.00 plan: Does not pick up 3G just Edge; however browsing is pretty quick for Edge connection.
T-Zones: worked just as fast as the Data plan, however it would not Update weather nor download emails.
Voice Calls: Great reception.
Phone works at decent speed overall with the tweaks posted here in the forums, cant wait for custom roms...

Thanks a lot.
No, problem
Working with both ATT and T-Mobile
I picked mine up in Chicago today from www.welectronics.com. Make sure you call first to have it in stock. Mine works with both ATT and T-Mobile on Edge. I have not played with setting but on the phone settings, you can select 1700 as one of the options. Perhaps it might work for T-Mo 3G? I am in Chicago so I can't test that.
This sucks. I think there is a problem with my unit. I have tried 6 SIMs and it doesn't see any of them. I tried new ones from AT&T and T-Mobile and still no joy.
I kinda regret trying to get the best mobile available early. I should have waited.

Sounds like a hardware fault
I have a TMobile (UK) Diamond which is about to come out of the contract.
My wife who has about a year of her 18month contract with 'Three UK'.
She has a rubbish phone and would like to take use my Diamond on Three.
I know I'll have to get it unlocked first...
What I'm not sure about is will it 'just work' on Three without any problems... IE will her messaging settings and internet access settings be set up automatically when I insert her SIM card, or am I going to have more hurdles to jump to get it working?
i'd be grateful for any advice on this.
Hi,
I realize that some of these questions have been asked before but after some reading I've come to find that there have been recent developments not documented on the main info sources.
I want to get a Tmobile Tab to be used on Tmo as a phone. I currently have an Android data plan. Is tmobile still blocking voice tabs? And is possible to get both voice and 3G, yet? What are my options here?
What if I decided to use it solely for VOIP connectivity? Am I going to have issues here or has this been sorted out? This is a valid option for me. So if this is the best option out there please feel free to say so.
BUMP and update.
I bit the bullet and bought a tab. The build quality is incredible.
I got it off craigslist so it was already rooted. I put my phone's sim card in there and I get edge. Is there any way to get it to 3G? Tmobile sim in tmobile tab.
