New Tilt with comments and couple of questions

Trying out the new Tilt with BlackBerry Connect. BBC is working great but when the security policy was loaded and the password enabled the password screen comes up with a dimmed backlite making it impossible to see in sunlight and nearly impossible to see in doors. Any one else have this problem found a way to fix?
The Tilt has built in GPS and I have gotten it to work with both Google Maps and MS Live Search. I have noticed that MS maps do not show some on and off ramps. Google seems to show them all but is much slower at updating the maps as they scroll. The problem is that when in map mode BBC times out and puts up the password screen. Is this an unfortunate feature of BBC and its security settings? Has anyone experienced and figured a way to fix?
I think the Tilt has all the features I was looking for in one device but it isn't quite perfect yet. I'm also converting from Verizon to AT&T and have found phone coverage to be spotty but in certain towns in my area, they are 3G enabled and Verizon does not have high speed network connectively in the same area.
I am trying to replace my BB 7130e phone and corporate email and HP rx5915 PDA for GPS and MP3 player. So far the Tilt is real close.
Thanks for any help.

jesus you are the epitome of new users in this forum that dont know how to read...LOOK AT THE TOP THING THAT WAS STICKED IN THIS FORUM: TILT QUESTIONS!!!! put your question in there!!!! (yeah I'm flaming, but with good reason)

Thanks for the answer, oh that’s right you didn't have one. Yes I could have put it there but no I thought I would put it in the main stream where I might get a quick response. I would have guessed from all the appendages attached to your message that you are the kind of person I was hoping may have some thoughts on the problems that I have been having. Looks are deceiving I guess. Excuse me for getting your panties in a bunch.

Everyones looking for a quick fix. Use the search button and take your time, my friend... we all did.
I almost guarantee that any question you have has already been asked and answered.

Thanks for the kinder more gentle response. I have been searching several forums and have yet to uncover any possible solutions. I will keep searching. Thanks.

Sorry, can't help with your problems, pretty knew myself. FYI though, go to the google search link on the homepage. It is waaaaaay better at searching than the standard search button. Honestly, if ppl could just say 'use search' or 'sorry look harder' instead of trying to humiliate....

Comm Mgr Customizing

Is there a way to customize comm manager (change from 6 button to 10 or change the buttons--replace data connection with 3G) other than using Advanced Config. I can do it through Advanced Config but wondered whether there was another way to do it on the fly that I am missing. Thx.

Did you try looking into the stickied thread at the top of the forum that has all the cab files??
There's a 10 buttom comm manager right there.

I know. I am looking for a utility that switches from the 10 to the 6 or changes the order of the buttons on the 10 or 6. Maybe I am not explaining it well enough ....

Why would you want to change between the two? The 10 button has it all, including disabling data connection and 3G?

Aesthetics. The 6 button on/off looks good with certain themes/roms. Not a huge issue. I guess not a big demand for it.

If you use Kaiser Tweak you can customize the Comm Manager (doesn't change from 6 to 10 buttons or vice versa) but you can re-order the buttons. Give it a shot.

Got it. Thanks.

... Is there anyone that found a way to make the 10-buttons CommManager "dpad-friendly" ?
It's so annoying : you can navigate the homepage of your PDA with the dpad, and then start the commmanager... and there : you're stuck !
Have to touch the screen to choose any of the items (wireless, data, bluetooth...)

Yeah, because it's SUCH a pain to point your finger at the screen and push.
Wow, it's amazing the things people complain about.

If I took your logic, I would ask why Kaiser has a hard-keyboard ? It's so easy for ppl to press the screen
...
I have the aluminum case, and the screen is behind a hardglass !
So you can give a try if you want... but I'd bet your won't even bend the glass.

You didn't say you had a hard case, did ya? I don't have one and I don't know anyone that does. Everyone I know uses the stylus on the screen, just like it's supposed to be used.

Just use AEB to assign a hardkey, I use the windoz logo key, double press toggles BT power, tripple toggles WiFi. You get the picture.

I'll give a try to AEB (my Win button is already reassigned, same for the camera button which triggers the CommMgr...)

Like I said, why would people buy a phone with real keyboard, as there's already onscreen keyboard... That's exactly same scenario.
My question was not about "how could I reeducate myself", but how to turn this smartphone into something even smarter...
Even the ComMgr on the HTC Tornado can be manager from the joystick... (running WM5)
So it's a shame if HTC did remove this so simple thing as focus-ordered buttons...

You bought it, didn't you? Why did you buy it? I'll tell you why - it's one thing to have an on screen keyboard, it's a totally different thing to have a real, tactile keyboard with real keys to give your fingers feedback. You're comparing apples and oranges. Your logic doesn't fly with me, sorry. You can't touch-type with an on screen keyboard (i.e. type by feel).

LOL. Thanks for the laugh. You made my night.
The OP had a question, and I answered it. If it's not what he was looking for, then he should learn how to phrase his questions in a better way.
I don't apologize for my wording. I am short and to the point.
Lastly, some people will complain about anything and everything. You can't help that or change that.

Ok fine, so you're apparently upset about people asking for tips & tricks... Then I assume your Kaiser was just perfect as-is right ?
(...so I guess you kept the stock ROM untouched, and didnt apply any of the great XDA-dev patches/fixes then)
Anyone with a more constructive feedback, like maybe importing the CommMgr of a different HTC pdaphone ?

I have the Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM. It does everything I need it to. I have, however, applied many of the tweaks and fixes available here. I ask very few questions and do LOTS of reading. I read almost every thread in this forum looking for little tweaks to make my phone even better than it already is.
I have no problems with people asking questions. That is what this forum is for. What bugs me is people who post the same question over and over without reading ANYTHING. (not that I was referring to you)
I was trying to be a little sarcastic with my first reply, but I guess you took it the wrong way.

So then, if you said I was posting without reading anything ...
Do you mean you were able to find a way ? (finaly we'll get something constructive)
I am not really new to XDA-dev, so I know how searching the place works...
Unfortunately, neither the 6buttons nor the 10buttons CommMgr is able to do (apparently) what I'm trying to get.
Hence the post...

Well I highly doubt that you will be able to switch between the 6 and 10 buttom comm mgr. They are both cab installs and require a SR after install.
What about RemE's suggestion? Did you try that? You could also remap the PTT button.
P.S. I wasn't referring to you when I said people don't read before posting.

New to the tilt and forum

A few questions and do not laugh.
Is the kaiser and the tilt the same thing?
Can I put the touchflo software in my tilt? If YES, there are about 459 threads about the touchflo. Which is the one I should go to with the software and installing info?
I have issues with the response speed of the touch screen. Can it be resolved? Sometime I have to tap multiple times to have a response
About the kaisertweak. Is that ok for the tilt ? Should I install it?
Thanks for all your help and remember... patience is a virtue.

The Tilt comes with Touch-flo installed from AT&T. I didn't have to do anything to my Tilt and all that had to happen was one person showed me touch-flo on their Tilt. I tried it and it worked immediately. I didn't change any settings or install anything extra. Give it a try. Open your contacts list and quickly slide your finger from the bottom to the top of the screen with a light touch. Once you get the hang of it you can have it spinning like the big wheel on the price is right... except here you just tap the screen to stop it where you want it.

Jay is correct
In my opinion, after installing Kaiser Tweaks, scrolling worked MUCH better. There are 2 settings in Kaiser Tweaks which affect scrolling, sensitivity and finger pressure.

Yes, there are setings to "tweak" it, but I found that the default was the lightest touch. I tried the "advised" settings in Kaiser Tweak and I couldn't get that thing to spin to save my life. Every time I tried I had to push the screen so hard that often times one of my contacts opened instead. I ended up putting it back on the default settings.

It's funny, I have the exact opposite experience. Right now I have 2 Tilt's in front of me. I had to order a replacement, and still have both.
The new one (untweaked) is almost impossible to scroll. The tweaked one is very easy to scroll.
I have Kaiser Tweaks set to normal on sensitivity, and very high on finger pressure.
But, you know what they say, to each his own

Tweak problems on my TILT
HSDPA on my TILT is displayed at all times. I installed the lates Kaiser Teak a few months ago. My TILT use to display 3g when no data is in use but now H shows as my primary display regardless of data being used or not.
Is there and updated Kaiser Tweak out. If there is can some post the new link. Thanks

Diamond novice needs your help... PLS!!!

After having a Touch a few months back, i thought the Diamond would be a breeze. NO such luck in my experience.
For example. On the main home screen. How do you edit that so it's just the clock or, to add more to the list that currently shows calendar and call history? I can't find any way to do this so if you can enlighten me, i'd really appreciate it.
What about when texting? Is there any way to make the keypad a different size? Personally i can't find a way to edit that. It's annoying that after adding your contacts name, you seemingly have 90% of the screen filled with the entry system and you have to mess about to get to the message section of the screen. Guessing i've missed something somewhere!
Zooming in on a photo... how is that done? Orange's CD ROM User Manual is vague to say the least so if you can assist here to, please do.
This thread could become a handy hints and tips chart for beginners if all feedback is good so if you have a question or some simple advice for settings and the way to go around things, chuck a note in and someone will be very happy to see the reply

1) Well if u flick ur finger in an upward motion on the home screen u'll notice the clock becoming smaller and will list all the list all ur appointments from ur calendar...
2) If u are not satisfied in the HTC Keyboard, u will need to look into other keyboards my fav personally is Touchpal from Cootek and there is even resco keyboard which is pretty gud.
3) You can only zoom in a picture when u r in the HTC Album, in order to zoom you will need to rotate your finger clockwise or anti-clockwise i am always forget which is for zooming so u will need chk tht out...
I hope these tips helps u out....

Hmmmmmm, i see. Shame that somehow we can't take the good things from the Touch like the Home screen as standard and have them in the 3D instead. If any cab compilers are reading this, maybe it's something that could be done?
Along those lines, maybe someone could rip out the original texting keyboard, the smaller more compact one... better for stylus use and enables you to see more screen. I HATE the big finger pad they've put on the Diamond. Is is really necessary to have it that big? Surely if you're going to use the stylus (i mean if HTC didn't want us to use one, then ALL the functions and menus would be larger, yes?), then why provide us with one in the first place?!?!!

There are multiple SIPs already built into the Diamond. Holding your finger or stylus on the small arrow next to the keypad button when input is allowed will display the menu, from there you can select the Windows SIP which is tiny and stylus friendly...
Reading the manual is a good idea before posting dude. Or even a search

That took no time at all. NO WINDOWS SIP on my handset. All i have are the following... BLOCK, COMPACT, FULL, KEYBOARD, LETTER, PHONEPAD and TRANSCRIBER *sigh*

Ok... answer this one then. Every other HTC phone i have had has done this but not on the Diamond. When you receive a simple thing like an mms or a text, the screen lights to give a clue in case you never heard the message laert. How you you activate THAT cus i'm not seeing how it'ds done anywhere.
Clues please?

I agree - the 'manual/instructions' Orange sent were non-existent and as a first time PPC user I was totally lost until I had a nosey around here and to be fair am still learning all what this phone can do!

Kaiser slow as hell

I have searched for lag, slow , over clock, precessor and a bunch of other thing's and I can't find where I can find out why the hell my Kaiser is running slow as hell? Like I can't even friggin type sometimes? I close all of the program's and such and it still lag's out. I am wondering if there is a over clock program like there is for the EXCALIBER and or a ROM that people know of that is VERY fast with Window's Live and just simple stuff like that?
Please don't respond with SEARCH, I clearly have and haven't found anything that has to do with it in the title.
Thank you ahead of time.

Try These
Hello carltmac,
From what I've heard, it is not possible to overclock the Kaiser's processor at this time, simply because nobody has written any software to do this. What you can try is this task manager to see if any unnecessary programs are running, and then check your \Windows\Startup folder to see what unnecessary programs are running on startup. You can also download Cleartemp, which I like. All these programs are free. Hope this has all helped,
Dave

Our friend jockey has brought up a Kaiser Overclocking Discussion thread in the past. From what I can tell the Kaiser Processor it Maxed out and is not worth Overclocking.
In fact here it is. Did a quick search and found it.
