I've flashed my 8925 twice and hard reset it once, I've tried with and without having allowed the ATT customizations, and still there's a bunch of stupid little crap that is driving me nuts. Please note: these bugs are with no additional software installed.
Can't keep the backlight from timing out. I've always disliked the default of having the screen auto dim: if the screen is on I'm probably *looking* at it, otherwise I'd have turned it off... I've tried everything, setting no backlight time out, leaving it checked but matched to the screen shutoff, it shows the right thing in the control panel and stays on after I leave that screen, but usually within minutes or especially after I've used the phone it'll start dimming at 10 seconds again--even though turn off backlight is still unchecked in the backlight control panel.
Missed calls / call log badly broken: I'll get the missed call notification but when I try to see the caller it shows the log as empty, and when I go into the log manually from the phone app it also shows empty--doesn't even have my outgoing calls.
Voicemail notification got stuck on. I can probably call ATT and have them fix this on their end in minutes but it's bloody annoying that my phone's been notifying me of a long deleted voicemail message for days.
Anybody else having any of these problems?
Anybody know a fix for any of them?
I've already tried advanced_configuration, no great help there.
What's the latest/best cooked ROM? I like that the official has stuff like Voice Command and Sprite Backup, would like to keep them...
I haven't noticed any of those problems. I have however had problems with the phone being really sluggish at times. Still testing with no apps installed. I don't have the backlight problem. I have just used the settings in Kaiser Tweak and everything is working. Not sure that I will keep using it though. I will probably go back to Hyperdragon's newest ROM's. Those always seem to work really well for me.
No issues with the official AT&T ROM either.

Are you using the right SPL?
I did not try the rom. But I heard cleartype w/ landscape problem still exist w/ this rom (like the official HTC 6.1 rom). It could be fix by replacing the ddi.dll but will probably break Opera mini 9.5.
Problems??? Pull up a chair! First I installed the ROM and none of my would work. I couldn't connect to the internet. I downloaded the ROM again and reflashed it. This time icons started disappearing on my phone. I did a soft reset. Nothing. Did a hard reset. Nothing. I reflashed. Loaded my apps, they actually worked. I set up my email, and I could connect to the internet. Great! Finally! One hour later, I got a phone call, but my phone didn't ring. Huh?Anyway, answered it, when the other party spoken it came out the speakerphone. I checked my device and there was no sound: ringtones,music games,alarms. Soft reset...Startup sound played..loaded up and no sound. Call ATT for a help, they decided to send me a replacement. Bad device, I guess. So I redownloaded the ROM and tried a different phone( i know, i know), can't get email to work, can't get MMetrics work. I quit!I will be going to custom ROM! I have a lot of reading to do.
Been using the new AT&T Rom since it was released and not having any issues. The only minor problem I have is that I'm seeing some compatibility issues with the version of S2U2 that I am using. Otherwise, good to go.
I don't get how people are having problems with this. Everything works flawlessly with me.
Except threaded messaging sucks, but with Kaiser Tweak, I turned it off.
I have had only 3 major issues with this rom.
1: Camera works, but doesn't show anything on the screen. I have a black screen, press the capture button, and I get a picture, but I can't tell what I am looking at until I take the picture. Working on this issue now. [Update] I just installed HTC Camera v5.04 b29195.00 http://rapidshare.com/files/99227062/HTC_Camera_v5.04_b29195.00__PPC_.CAB . Works Perfect now!
2. Battery life was HORRID! After 10 minutes I was down to 90%, while it sat on the desk, screen off, nothing running. After switching from 1.65.21.18 to 1.65.21.14, life was peachy. 8 hours with normal usage and only down to 80%.
3. Blue Tooth drops erratically. I connected my bt headset to the phone, made a call, after 10 or 15 minutes, it dropped the headset. BT stayed turn on, but headset couldn't be found. Turned off headset, turned back on, magically found. Haven't figured out what is causing this, but am researching that as well. OK, So I got on HTC's website to see if there was an update. There is no update for BT for the Tilt WM6.1. However, there is a fix for TYTN II WM6.0. http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=13&cat=0&dl_id=60. I decided to try this fix, installed thinking I would get the whole "this program was built for a previous version" garbage, but I didn't get that. Anyway, I am going to try this tomorrow when I make my calls. I will update if I notice it fixes my issues.
Otherwise, it's fast, good signal, good sound quality, etc. Overall I am pretty happy. Will be happier when I finally get the BT to stop dropping, as I travel a lot and it's illegal to talk on the phone w/o a hands free on any military installation.... Sorry if I didn't answer any problems others are having on this actual forum, but maybe someone else will be having the same issue and see my posts for my fixes. Thanks!
zip, zero, nada.......UI is faster, apps are faster, threaded SMS is really nice to have, MSVC works as advertised with my JB2.
Different Alarm Sounds!!
I have a small WAV file that I use as an alarm sound but now can't get the sound listing in the alarm setup. I use to put it in application data/sounds. It now doesn't show up if I put it there or anywhere else (/windows, /my documents/my ringtones). Anyone else have this problem?

All my WAV and MIDI files in the root of Windows show up fine. How small is the file? 600kb is the size limit for sounds on AT&T ROMs unless you modify the registry key that restricts it. 600k may be large for an mp3 file, but that's only mere seconds of a WAV file.
I upgraded as soon as it was available and am seriously considering going back to the old WM6.0 ROM, which worked well. I have had several lockups and had to soft-reset. I have also had problems with calls. Once, it rang and shoed me the call, but wouldn't let me pick it up. Other times I have had echos. GPS lock time is also much longer. Oh, yes, the equalizer in TCPMP creates terrible distortion. It worked great in 6.0. And I am using the recompiled version.
It is great to get results of satisfaction with the new ROM, but I personally would like to know, for those who have been having problems and those, answers to some questions:
1 Which SPL
2 Which radio
3 Activesync or POP for email
4 Bloatware installed or not
5 PIE or other browser
I am sure that there are others, but those are what come to mind for the moment.
No Problems Here
FWIW, I think my Tilt is running much better with the new ROM. I've only had it (the new ROM) for a couple of days, but TT7 and Google Maps seem to run faster, and It seems to detect WIFI networks MUCH faster than with the old ROM. I'm a happy camper, at least for now.
I've noticed that its been alot slower and I don't like having a button devoted to the ringtone volume. The other HTC Tab I was using that was supposed to be an official use had Music allowing me to access Windows Media very easily now I can't. I also noticed my dialing pad is different and not the same as it was. I also don't like the threaded SMS on Windows Mobile it doesn't suit it. It makes it look very confusing and also I've noticed it has problems moving the screen upwards so that I can see what is being written in the space. Another thing I notice is randomly the HTC Home screen cuts itself off cutting off portions of the tab information. Its something to get used to but I don't see it happening cause I can't figure out what happened to some items on the phone like my GPS doesn't work, I am experiencing worse internet problems than before, Wifi dies frequently, and the dialer doesn't seem to work like it used to. Its a disappointment.

Which key? I have been hunting... and no luck so far.
Backlight timeout linked to lock??
When I re-downloaded the software and re-flashed a *third* time things seemed to work better. The only thing I did differently was skip the 'setup a password' that last time I flashed.
The phone worked pretty well all weekend, and then this morning I finally put in owner info and set a pin password.
And I just noticed the backlight has started dimming after 10 seconds (or less) again. Restart didn't correct it, nor did changing the setting in advanced config so the screen doesn't dim for unlock screen.
For now I turned off lock and went into the backlight tab and it's stopped doing it. BLOODY ANNOYING. I've seen mention of the backlight timeout bug in other forums too...
Even while the phone was working well over the weekend I noticed that fairly often the first attempt to bring it out of standby flashes the screen on then it goes back off, comes on and stays on when I press power the second time.
I ran into the idiotic bug where text is white on white when in landscape mode, know I saw something about that being a cleartype bug or something and there being a fix, but why the hell would it be released like that?
Also, I can NOT get the 'message sent' notification to disable... does 'advanced config' not actually work?
Buggy is an understatement!
Having been unable to bear/ignore the bugs I reverted back to 6.0
Here's what I along with you guys have issues with.
1)Ringtones revert back to it's default tone whenever I open: Settings>Phone
2) Back-light reverts back to 10 seconds at random and often.
3) Google maps will not display letters when searching for places, but it'll invisibly type
4) Typical freezes on pages and things of that nature
5) Bloatware..

I'll help you out here
Go into HKEY_CurrentUser --> ControlPanel --> Sounds --> FileSizeLimit ( it's a DWORD value)
Just delete the DWORD value, and bam, enjoy .
EDIT : wow, just realized this is my first post. I've been browsing the site since the Tilt came out, but I guess I've never found it necessary to post. haha!

I have the exact same problem with my 8925. My work buddy across the hall does not have this problem with his 8925. Running WM6.0 my screen has ALWAYS dimmed at boot, as well as after a call ended; his has never done so. Now, after we've both upgraded to WM6.1, I have all my same problems, as well as the additional 10 second auto dimming that I did not encounter with WM6.0, he still has none.
No matter what settings I change, no matter if connected to power, USB, or none, my screen dims after 10 seconds. I can get it to temporarily revert back to the setting of my choice, by going into the settings and then back out, but if I manually dim the phone, get a call, or pretty much anything, it defaults back to the automatic 10 second dimming. I'm so pissed off about this. S2U2 also automatically kicks in on every screen dim, so I can't use it while the dim prob is going on. Certainly someone within this HUGE base of geniuses has a definitive answer for this.
Lots of little bugs in this release.
Google maps doesn't like it.
Can't get TCPMP to work.
Gets sluggish.
MSVC doesn't notify.
Other things I can't think of now.
Pretty irritating to say the least.
Ok... I have set my backlight to 1 minute time out NUMEROUS times, but it keeps resetting itself back to 10 seconds after some time (i'm not sure how long). This is driving me crazy! Especially when I'm trying to read something. What can I do? ANY help is beyond appreciated!
p.s. It began after I installed the new windows 6.1 update.
I am having the same problem and it is also driving me crazy!!
Someone please help!
Thanks
Me to
..just yesterday the phone kept trying to dim at 10 seconds but S2u2 wouldn't allow it so it would come back on..and it kept doing that crap every 10 seconds!!! I can't stop that setting from reverting back to 10 seconds!!!
Seeeeee? Somebody has to be able to figure this out.
same issue
i got the same problem too. i got the oem rom with wm6.1 on it. i installed s2u and manila 2d and pocket tool man. tried all the settings i could find from those programs. but the backlight keeps resetting back to 10sec after a while
any help would be good!
Possible Fix when Backlight Patch doesn't work
Like many others, I have applied the Backlight patch and experienced NO improvement after the Tilt is turned off and on.
I have loaded PHM's RegEdit and had a look at other registry settings and found a solution that works on my Tilt.
Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER / ControlPanel / Backlight you will find a key called "LockLevel", my value for this key was initially 1. I changed it to 0, and since then, whatever setting I use for the backlight timeout stays put even after numerous power cycles and days of use.
Would someone else who is familiar and comfortable with RegEdit try this and confirm this so we can verify it is not just isolated on my Tilt?

I am using the same PHM's , and my value is set at "0" already....
yes, Mine is also set at 0.
I cant believe that HTC would release a patch that doesnt work!
Anyone else had luck?
Setting it from 0 to 1
"Un-dims" your backlight. Setting it from 1 to 0 makes it bright thats all I could figure out
It's a known problem with the 6.1 ROMS, although not everyone experiences it. Even the stock AT&T ROM had it. An official fix for it was released not long ago. It's available for download here: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=67&cat=1&dl_id=269
It doesn't wipe your phone, so it's safe to do without having to set everything back up.
backlight works, but scroll wheel does not

This worked fine and fixed the backlight issue on my stock AT&T Tilt ROM, but it seems to have screwed up my scroll wheel function. Now my scroll wheel only turns up/down the phone volume. I can't seem to get it to do anything else in any other program.

I haven't experienced that problem. What ROM are you using?
Finally!
Click Here for the .cab that fixed my unit. I got it off the ATT forum.
NOTE to all... Even this fix did not solve my problem until I checked the boxes to time the backlight. I like the backlight feature on all the time. If I don't want to see the screen, I turn it off.
I Had The Same Problem Too, But Then I Realized That Whenever I Disabled The Password Option In Settings It Went Back To Normal And Stayed At Whatever Timing I Set It To. The Only Thing About It Is That I Cant Use The Password Option In Settings. Unless I Was To Disable It Everytime I Used The Phone For More Than A Few Minutes At A Time...
I Have The At And T Tilt With The Shipped Wm6.1 Rom.
this will help
with your backlight problem
It helped me and then-some
I've tried all suggestions (except registry edits) and nothing works for mine! I like to keep my display on for GPS functions, but mine dims whether it's on battery or external power. The link for the cab in the AT&T forum no longer works, so I don't know whether that was similar to the HTC fix (which also doesn't work for me).
Since I have yet to try this, what program should I use to edit my registry? I've never done it, so I don't know what I need to do it. I also noticed someone posted these registry changes in the AT&T forum:
- change HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ACTimeoutTemp value to your desired AC timeout in seconds. I set mine to 120 (2 min).
- change HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\BatteryTimeoutTemp value to your desired Battery timeout in seconds. I set mine to 60 (1 min).
- change HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\Locklevel\Locklevel to 0xFFFFFFFFF (this may also be just FFFFFFFF is your reg editor allows direct hex entries).
Note: With this change, if you wish to change your dimming timeout, you'll have to go back into the registry and update the settings.
Does this look like it would work? This is driving me absolutely nuts and I am this close to reverting to 6.0, even though my device was shipped with 6.1.
Thanks for the help, everyone.
EDIT: Since my search for this answer brought up too many different variables, I'd wanted to pose the question here, as it pertains to this issue... Will upgrading to a 6.5 ROM solve this backlight issue more simply?
Hi Before i start, i have searched and tried various methods on fixing this problem.
My phone is a MDA VARIO III (UK)Branded kaiser with the t mobile official wm 6.1 rom on it
ROM 3.31.110.3 WWE
Radio 1.70.18.02
protocol 25.83.40.02H
running:-
kaiser tweak
tomtom
wmwifirouter
google maps etc etc
anyhow the problem is no matter what i do the device goes into standby after 30 seconds. this is even when running tomtom nav 6 (this never used to happen tomtom stayed running all the time) this also has the side effect of tomtom putting the gps into standby and i have to press the standby and loosing my posotion button every 30 seconds when driving which is annoying!
the backlight dim settings seem to function ok though.
this happens to all applications not just tomtom and also when plugged into the mains
i have tried adjusting the power setting which have no effect. and the unit just goes into stand by after 30 seconds
i have also tried the locklevelx trick but that did not work..
i also tried running the tilt hotfix, but it wanted to uninstall the old version and it was unable to do this and failed to install.
short of hard resetting the entire phone and loosing all my apps is there anything i can do?
Thanks
Rich
similar
I have a similar problem, and here is what i have, and have noticed:
JoshKoss rom (had the problem on the last few releases)
radio: 1.70.18.02
spl: 3.56 hard2
standby mode has operated normally when phone is not in cradle (i have not tested with longer standby times for battery operation, and i am currently set on the shortest allowed times.)
with standby disabled during external power, my screen will go black after about 20 seconds. it does not seem to function the same as a regular standby, as any hardware key will turn the screen back on, and the wifi doesn't disconnect. this situation did not occur after the new flash and cab installs, but took about a half day to begin each time.
update
looks like i have a program - worktrack by corrigo - that is causing my screen blanking.
I have the same problem with my touch pro. No matter what the phone goes into standby after 30 seconds, really annoying when using tomtom. I thought it was a rom issue so i flash a different rom. However the problem came back.
I have 3 of the programs you mentioned;
tomtom
wmwifirouter
google maps...
Really want a fix for this. It never used to occur but just recently it has started in the last week or so. Rom doesn't seem to be an issue here......its ANNOYING!!!
programs
to follow up with the similar programs, i also have wmwifi and google maps, but no tom tom.
Hi,
I am using WM6.5 (system 5.2.21869.5.0.82, Manila 2.5.19202525.0, ROM 1.05.931.10 GER, radio 1.14.25.55) since more than a year, and it went very well. Very rare crashes, the only problem has been that the battery management does not prevent deep unloading of the battery, and that in the radio off (flight mode) status, it sucks the battery quite quickly. Everthing else had been great.
Now the phone has suddenly several strange problems, after I used the GPS with TomTom for several hours (it gets quite warm due to the GPS power consumption):
1) The phone is extremely slow - everything works more or less, but updating any screen or starting an app needs very much time. Cold booting as well.
2) The big clock at the main page is not updated. Only the time in the status bar (upper right corner) is correct, any clock on the main page remains on the same time until a refresh of the display is made by exiting any other menu.
3) The contacts list is empty and shows only the search dialogue (which is so slow that I even dont know whether it will find some day anything). However, the list is populated, I can access it from the telephone menu (lower left icon) without problems.
Any idea for a quick fix without reflashing? Is there a diagnosis tool around which can be used to check for hidden processes in the memory or hardware defects?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Maybe problem with TomTom. Did TomTom exit completely? Maybe is TomTom still working in background. Look in Task manager is Tom still active.
Problem probably solved - rapiclnt process killed
Nope. TomTom was not running - that would have been strange since I did several cold starts during the last days.
But I installed a task manager tool and had a look to the various processes. I found a JBed daemon an killed it. The rapiclnt process seemed also strange to me, and I found a thread about a possible bug in this process (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/zhengpei/ar...hangs-anti-virus-software-and-activesync.aspx). So I killed it as well. The active sync connection stopped, and when resumed, rapiclnt was not running anymore. And the phone behaves well again! Clock on the main screen updates regularly, the X1 is quick as before, and the contacts list works again.
I hope that was it, let's see. If any problems remain, I will post again.
Thread removed to Q&A as not Rom Dev, please post in the correct section, congrats in fix
Thanks
