New WM6/Tilt user, please help!

Hello-
I'm new to Windows Mobile (I've been on Palm OS for at least 5 years) and I have AT&T Tilt (8925).
I've been playing around with it for a while, and there's still some things I have questions on-
1)How do I complete remove some programs that I do not want and don't appear under "Remove Programs"? I know they're located in the Windows folder, but I get a Error 5 whenever I try to delete them- I think they're read-only or something...
2) I'm also having problems with the GPS receiver. At times it will work great, acquiring a signal in seconds, and other times it won't work at all, searching for a long time to find nothing. I use Live Search and Google Maps and have the same problem with both.. Any ideas?
3) Coming from Palm OS, I'm used to text messages coming up in a view. Is there a way to change that?
4) I modified my PTT button to work as any program. Is there a specific registry key I can set it to so that it acts as a power button?
5) I use gmail and I'm using their IMAP service. Some of my messages are appearing blank when downloaded. Was I supposed to change settings or something? Why does it only work for some and not others?
6) And last but not least, does anybody have any good mod/util programs to recommend?
Thanks for your help

Also,
7) Does anyone know how to disable the sound on the 3G launch screen when the device reboots?

I havent got too many answers to your questions, but this would be a sart at least.
KaiserTweak has many necessary customizations (but I dont think it addresses most of your questions.)

The apps you want to remove sounds like the Cingular built-in ones. In that case you can avoid installing them by doing a hard reset, and rebooting before it installs the carrier customizations.
This article gives a step by step howto.

Also this page was useful in getting my GPS problems sorted out. The GPSTEST software seemed to cure the problem all by itself (and its freeware)

Yeah, I've got KaiserTweak already, I love it.
In terms of the "bloatware", that is indeed what I want to remove, but there's also some that I want to keep... Is there a way to remove programs that arent in "Remove Programs"?

Not AFAIK, but the actual AT&T apps are available as a separate cab in this thread.

Unfortunately they are still bundled together, but at leas they can be cleanly uninstalled.

Even after bypassing the bloatware install, the CAB files should still be on the device for you to install them on your own. Might take a bit of digging to find the proper ones and you may need something like Resco Explorer, or Total Commander to "see" them. I think the built in file explorer hides some of the system files, but I couldn't tell you much more than that.

Thanks. The GPS Fix doesn't seem to do much- am I missing something?

Are you able to run it. You should be able to use it to test the function of your GPS device, and find out what port it uses etc. Its a smartphone program, so you have to use it using the keys, not the touch screen.

It seems to help and it's definately a very useful app. I'll let you know if my problems persist.
Does anyone have any ideas on the other issues I'm having?

Internet Explorer not working

Hi all,
I installed KaiserTweak yesterday, and although I think its a great application, Pocket Internet Explorer won't connect to any links. I don't know if it's related or not.
Firstly, the home page won't open, and no links open when selected in Favourites -- its says connecting at the bottom, and 0%.
I can connect with Opera, but I still like to use IE for some pages.
Anyone experienced this?
Thanks guys,
Ratzz

Does it look like its loading and then nothing comes up after it finishes real quick? I think this is a known issue. Forgot where I saw the fix. I just soft reset and its back.

Yep, thats it - tries the s/r but didnt fix.
I'd love to find that thread you mentioned...
Thanks for the info...

I had this problem on WM6.1 ROM with ce-star installed, PIE won't load any pages with this combination.

have you tried clearing the cookies and cache files? maybe a clean up is in order

All cleared up, but still no connection.
No error message, just a blank screen.
Any other ideas guys?

Not sure if Kaiser Tweak does this but did you change the location of where PIE stores the temp internet files. Also, try going back to the tweak and resetting everything to default. (for testing)

If you are using ATT to connect a hidden proxy has to be enabeled, don't know if that applies to T mobile as well.

i am having a similar problem with my IE. only difference is i cant seem to get an active internet signal for anything. it was working one second then not working the next. i cant send/recieve email or anything. any ideas guys??

If using T-Mobile DO NOT enable hidden proxy.

It's funny how I just responded to you with this cause now I'm in the same boat! s/r does not fix. Working one day, gone the next. Now I've gotta search for the thread I saw with the fix. Are you using the latest ROM from AT&T for the tilt..?

SOLUTION...
Its easy just don't use your SD to keep Temp, cookies, history, etc...
I was having the same problem until that changes.

Where do you change theses settings.. I know... NOOB question. I have thought I saw it somewhere but now I cant find it...

Or you could check in Tweak under PockectIE >Proxy Auto Detect> Enabled (proxy = disabled)
This setting solved my problem along with all the good folks here on xda!! I'm a NOOB but this worked for me.. I had everything else working and had used Opera Mini 9.5 beta and Opera Mobile successfully but could not get IE to load a page. It would act like it was loading, display 0%, but nothing happened. Hope this helps..
ATT Tilt
Rom: Dutty's 3.08...? (WM6.1)

Tweaks for pockey IE..? I did'nt see that option. Only general, memory, & security options under tools in IE. Is this located somewhere else or is it a CAB tweak..? Thanks.

I'm having the same problem, has anyone found a solution yet?

Internet Explorer kills my TyTN II

Hi folks
I'm unable to use Internet Explorer on my Kaiser as it freezes the device as soon as I try to visit any website. It hangs with the "Opening..." status message
Does anyone know a solution for this?
Thanks in advance!

Have you changed the location that PIE stores temp internet files?

In your settings find disable proxy button, this worked for me.

Thats because temp files and cookies are being stored on the mem card

both of you are assuming things.

I also used to have that same problem. I then replaced a webview.dll file and that solved the problem. I think that the .dll was supposed to help something with PIE opening large website or something like that. It's been awhile but if you search for it you should be able to find it. Not sure if this is the same solution for you but you can try it.

I did not change the temp file or cookie location. The proxy settings where not tampered with either. IE simply began freezing after a few months
I did however manage to find a temporary solution. If I rotated the screen by sliding out the keyboard, back and forth, it did work at times.
Now that I've updated to HTC's new WM6.1 ROM everythings back to normal again
Thanks for your help and suggestions!

QuickGPS not connecting anymore

During the last couple of days, everytime I try to update the GPS data, QuickGPS gives the message "COnnection failed. Please try again later".
Please note that Internet is working in all the programs.
Did anyone else get this?

Same here, no idea how to fix it.

Sorry for this, but I really need to bump this
Lack of QuickGPS is very annoying. Does it work for everybody else? If so, perhaps somebody could post his/her relevant registry entries please?

Mine works perfectly well, just updated the info now.

Up untill 3 days ago i could only update through gprs and NOT through wifi.
Then it changed so now i can update only through wifi and NOT through gprs.
I tell you these devices have their own brain!!!

OK, I did a hard reset and now it works - but hopefully you won't have to. I saved the registry state immediately after the reset - so compare these values with yours. Perhaps the solution is there.

Thanks Pedmond,
For the posting of the default registry.
I hit the same problem as well, and attempted to recover from the problem by playing around with the registry based on your post. I attempted the values for older versions of QuickGPS. Alas, all my attempts are futile.
Like you, I need to do a hard reset to recover. So it appears that this version of QuickGPS utilises stuffs beyond the registry.
In any case, should the problem reappears, I was thinking of downloading the Xtra.bin file from xtra1.gpsonextra.net and update the file (in /TEMP and /Windows) and time stamp in the registry manually.
Cheers.

same damnation here.
i've tried a hard reset... nothing happens.
what does make it stuck!?!?!?!?
i'm going crazy.
solution needed.
PLEASE.

After I've tried with different registry settings without luck, I've found on another forum a workaround that solved the "Could not connect. Try again later" issue. I though to share it:
1. Open IE (this is what I've tried, it might work with Opera as well) and access Internet (any WEB page you want). This is for "activating" the Internet connection, doesn't matter if it's on WI-FI, Active Sync, GPRS, etc.
2. Open QuickGPS and click "download". Now it should work.
This is NOT preserved even after a soft-reset, I've checked.
P.S. I've posted this on the other thread as well (QuickGPS and 1.93 ROM)

same problem here. the only way to update is when sync with PC.

It works like a lighting strike!
I don't know why, but it works , maybe a sticky one for all of us (those who search for "normal solution" round 'n round )?
Thank you so much (i hope to discover why does it work )

Update region for QuickGPS to work
I noticed that the registry key HKLM\Software\HTC\QuickGPS\region was set to "IN" (for India). I changed that to "US" and QuickGPS has started working. I can click on Download and it downloads and updates remaining time correctly.

Odd, I checked my registry also because I was having the same problem. But my region was --, changed to US and worked like a champ

hello,
if i understand you right, it was only a region problem?
ouagh , grrrrrrr, $%##
i have the problem after i think that my diamond was perfect,
with very spend of time for installation and a backup at the fault time ...
this was a realy good tip for me for the next time
thank you.
okokur

can´t get it to work at all, suddenly I couldn´t connect with QGPS anymore. Tried IE fix and changed region butno luck at all. any other ideas?
is there a way to reinstall the program?

After I install BB Connect I can't update QuickGPS. Any1 the same problem?

Anyone else having problems with People, Weather, and Programs?

I'm using touchflo and the people, weather, and programs tabs aren't working at all.
Just wondering if there's something I need to download to fix this, cause I've looked everywhere and can't even find anything on this issue.
The people tab just has the + Add boxes but they're all non-responsive, same with the programs tab
The weather tab shows Add Location, *Downloading weather forecast data may incur additional data transfer fees from your provider.
Add location, and Settings don't do anything, and About brings up a website which says it doesn't exist.
I'm not sure whether this is something I have to activate with my phone company or if there's something to fix this.
The weather works if I uninstall touchflo and use the default UI.

Bump, need help still please

I too am having this issue so its not just u. Hope someone can help us out.

Hey i read I tryed this and it worked fro me. I hard reset my whole phone and then re-installed everything using these instructions and everything worked fine. Hope it works for u also.
