Tilt And Htc Os - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Whats the difference in the operating system between the tilt and the tytn II? Which one do you prefer? And Why!!
I just got my tilt and im curious

It depends on if your talking about stock ROMs or cooked ROMs. On stock ROMS the ATT ROM is packed with bloatware whereas the HTC ROM doesn't have all the useless trialware.
Now on HTC ROMs there is not that much in difference I've found except for one annoying thing I have not been able to pin down to why it happens. I've noticed when using different HTC ROMs on my Tilt I have problems with Over-the-Air (OTA) Activesync staying connected to Exchange servers with Direct Push. It will sync but if I go back and check it after a period of time the activesync screen shows disconnected with a last sync date/time and I have to manually initiate the sync process again (constantly).
However I do not have that problem with any of the Tilt ROMs. The OTA Activesync always stays connected as it should when connected to an Exchange server with Direct Push. I never have to manually go in and re-sync like I do with the HTC ROMs.

ActiveSync Push E-Mail goes to sleep?

This may be a simple one, but Im stumped...
My Tilt connects to my exchange 2007 server. On other phones running WM6, ActiveSync stays online 24/7. On my Tilt, it goes dormant after a while. I added an exclusive in task manager...
Basically when I grab it after its been idle for a few hours and look, ActiveSync says it was last synchronized at whatever time, I manually sync it, and it pulls down everything and stays online for a while, but eventually it goes dormant again...
Im sure that it's a simple fix, but I can't for the life of me, figure it out....
I have the same problem with mt Tilt. If I use the ATT ROM it works fine but if I move to one of the HTC ROMS I get that problem with Activesync disconnecting from the Exchange server.
I had the same issue on my 8500 with some of the cooked ROMs. On that device the ATT ROM and vp3G's ROMS worked fine (except for one of his; the hybrid I think).
For now I'm just sticking to the ATT ROM and pray vp3G gets a Tilt so he can start making ROMs for our device.
If you don't want all the ATT bloat installed then hard reset and then just hit the soft reset button when it pops up saying it going to customize the device in 3 seconds.
Kaiser connection issues
There are some issues going on with the way the Kaiser pulls emails after it goes to sleep.
Check the thread below or look through this forum for similar topics.

One of the problems that I've found on this issue is the ActiveSync notifications becoming corrupted. I'm not sure how to go about fixing this, but I downloaded a program called MemMaid that was able to rebuild the ActiveSync notification queue. After I rebuilt the notification queue for ActiveSync my Windows Vista Home Premium and XP Pro systems saw my Tilt and were able to sync again.

ActiveSync disconnects on any non-AT&T ROM!

This is a very sad thing!
I have my Tilt (thankfully got the defective one replaced!) and I set it up to sync with my exchange 2007 server which should be push e-mail. In fact I know it is....
On the AT&T stock rom, it stays connected 24/7, never goes offline which is what it's supposed to do.
I get home, flash on the HTC ROM. Set up the partnership with my server, and I look, an hour later it's offline, showing last synchronized 45 minutes ago. I hit sync, it syncs, stays online for maybe ten minutes, then the same thing.
I've tried every cooked ROM too, same deal.
When I do manually sync, it doesnt try to connect to the network, it's already connected. I was wondering if the network settings may need to be tweaked...?
I've already tried adding an exclusive in task manager for activesync.
I'm using a Tilt and on AT&T.
I'm really going to be upset if Im locked to the AT&T rom just because the other ROMS dont handle active sync properly...and I can't beleive that the stock HTC rom has a problem like this...so I'm wondering if the network wizard may not be entering all of the proper settings...
Oh, and as a side note, this is my second Tilt, the first was defective, it it exhibited the exact same behavior. AT&T ROM stays connected properly, non-stock ROM disconnects....
Any advise? I dont want to be stuck with AT&T!
I'm wondering if it's you. it works fine for thousands of other people, and for you, 2 phones it's been "broke"
I had my phone disconnectng from active sync. It didnt bother me in the least because I'm not updating my phone but maybe once a day, i really dont care if it disconnects every 15 minutes. After I found out it was my USB hub, it's worked perfectly ever since. And I never once blamed the phone.
Hey now...no need for any snippy tones there...
I was asking for help here, not looking to be blamed as the source....
Exchange 2007 is supposed to remain totally connected 24/7....and it isnt. And Ive been able to recreate the problem on two separate devices....
So just looking to see if anyone else had had the same.....

You must admit - this statement boggles the mind. You expect AT&T to replace a device because it only works right on their network with the software they shipped on it? Umm, that's their whole EXCUSE for shipping custom ROMs and you're busily proving them right....
It's obviously too late to ask you not to return a hacked device as "defective" and f$ck it all up for the rest of us, but please don't do it again!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your actual question would probably better be phrased as "Anyone on AT&T managing to keep ActiveSync continuously connected to Exchange 2007 with non-AT&T ROM?"
Not at all...I actually had a boat of other problems with my first Tilt..I did not in any way return it because of this problem...
Im not daft...I would never go back to AT&T and ask them to replace something because I monkeyed with it and broke it...
My scroll wheel stopped working along with my GPS....which is why I returned it...after restoring the AT&T ROM back onto it.
So...I will just drop this since it seems as if nobody actually can listen to my problem and offer up solutions,but would rather take potshots at their impressions of my behavior.

No offense, but if you write more clearly you will be misunderstood less.
the first was defective, it it exhibited the exact same behavior doesn't read many other ways than "I returned the last one for this problem".
i gave you a suggestion to start looking at. AT&T and us posters arent out to get you. trust me.
this may sound kind of obvious, but did you check your sync schedule in ActiveSync? Make sure it is set to as items arrive.
I have my activesync working fine with Exchange 2003 on AT&T's network.
Only other thing I can think is if you have KaiserTweak set to disconnnect GPRS automatically after X amount of time.
I have the same problem with mt Tilt. If I use the ATT ROM it works fine but if I move to one of the HTC ROMS I get that problem with Activesync disconnecting from the Exchange server.

me + kaiser + htc rom + exchange 2007 + at&t network = working just fine

Psy....
THANK YOU!
At least Im not nutso...
I am using the clear AT&T ROM which actually runs very well...its just the customizer in me that needs to make things better even if they arent broken!
Everybody else...sorry if we got off on the wrong foot with this thread...
Start fresh?
I wanted to throw an update out there....
My desire to figure this out got the best of me, so Ive been pretty much just flashing and experimenting for the last few days, and I think I may have actually figured this out....
It looks like it IS something to do with the network wizard. I pulled out a cingular settings cab from my hermes days. Flashed on the HTC rom, cancelled the network wizard, install it, and my AS has been connected for hours and hours. Did the same with one of the new cooked ROMs, same thing. So it looks like something just isnt quite right with the network wizard when it puts in the AT&T settings....

Nice work! What I've done to track this kind of thing is to use DotFred's TaskManager and export the *entire* registry before and after, then use a "diff" type utility to compare the two. Some obvious timestamps, etc, always change but it's usually pretty apparent where the change(s) were.
Might be interesting to do that between your working config and the wizard's config and see if there's just one or two settings different....

I wonder what all there is in the cab file? I haven't tested it on my Tilt but on the 8525 if I canceled the customization and inputed the network settings myself it didn't stay connected.
Where do I get a copy of this cab file so I can look at it?
I'm attaching the cab for the settings....been working like a champ for over a day now, so Im going to call this issue resolved in my book....
rsoloman,
Sounds like a plan...there definitely has to be something different between the AT&T settings both in the cab and included in the AT&T ROM versus what comes with the network wizard......
Sounds like a scooby doo mystery to me!

Well, personally I'm happy on the AT&T ROM, so it will take someone else running the .reg file extractions. I'll be happy to help analyze the two, but right now it won't be me extracting them
Richard
For the record I'm using a tilt flashed to HTC ROM on at&t without any AS problems running Exchange Push.
I always manually input the at&t settings though.
Mine actually worked fine both the stock AT&T rom and the HTC rom. I just started having this problem with duty's touchflo tilt rom. The cab posted here did not make any change for me. Any other suggestions?

Active Sync does not stay connected!

I just put a 6.1 rom on my Tilt , and everything is good, but for some reason after a little, the Active sync goes from connected, to "last synced at (sometime) " what is going on here?
ideas?
I occasionally have AS disconnect problems when using a USB hub.......might be the case for you as well?
not sure if this is the case or not but check to see if you are connecting to wap.cingular or to isp.cingular, for me I have to be connected to isp.cingular or the connection times out

Seems to be a common problem with the Tilt when not using an ATT based ROM. Thats why I stick to the ones based off ATT Roms. However I believe the 6.1 based Vodafone ROM worked and stayed connected. Hoever for me it was too laggy.

Activesync with Exchange 2010 and Windows Mobile 6.5 problems?

Good Morning All,
I am in need of help/support.
I have a AT&T Tilt, I have run through several ROMs (all WinMo 6.5). When I go to setup an activesync relationship to Exchange for my work mail, it connects. It then applies our PIN policy for locking your screen. But then Activesync tries to get my mail, contacts, and calendar items....but it fails. I have tried multiple things on my company's IT side. They say that there is no problem.
To further investigate, I flashed back to the stock WinMo 6.1 ROM from the HTC website. Activesync works like a charm.
So my question is, if I want to sync with my work email, am I doomed to a WinMo 6.1 ROM?
Does Exchange 2010 recognize that an AT&T Tilt is not supposed to have WinMo 6.5, or is it maybe a certificate issue?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Moved as not ROM Development.
I found a fix. Hopefully this helps other people out too.

Kaiser poses as Tilt 2 for active sync and Ie

Hello,
I have a Kaiser with the original ATT ROM in it that I would like to get to sync with Exchange ActiveSync. Unfortunately my company lives in the dark ages and has limited phone access to two models approximately. Basically to do this I need it to pretend be a tilt 2 so that I can install the manged software from internet explorer and then be able to run Active sync in a similar manner. Does this sound reasonable? I was hoping there might just be a ROM out there to pull this off but I seem to be coming up empty on that front.
Thanks,
Devan
