1. I bought from att and flashed it with the htc rom and now when I press the "@" it turns into "!" and some other buttons too but I can't remember which. how do i fix this?
2. Do I need a data connection in order to use the email or can I just use wifi?
I tried using wifi but it doesn't work. It says "the message could not be sent. check that you have network coverage."
3. what is the best gps to use with the tilt? I couldn't get tomtom to work because it couldn't detect my internal gps.
4. any awesome programs I should know about?
I don't know much about it but I would read a thread like this if your keyboard is messed up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
thats perfect thanks man! but how do i install?
For TomTom, try this thread.
For email, are you using your own WiFi, or a hotspot somewhere? I find that when I am at home and using WiFi, I need to set my SMTP server to my ISP's, but if I am away from home and using GPRS I have to set the SMTP server to that of my mobile provider. I would guess it's the same for using different Wifi networks, since most won't allow you to send email via SMTP server A whilst connected to a network using SMTP server B. This is called relaying, and is to prevent spam mail being sent. Course I could be totally wrong, and your problem is something else!
Can you surf the net via WiFi? If so, try setting the device up for hotmail (just get a hotmail account if you haven't got one) and try sending mail from Hotmail. If you can do this, its more likely either a SMTP server problem, or go through the email settings menu, click on advanced server settings and see what the network connection is. It should be "The Internet".
For a must have program....since you seem to be using the phone for internet connections, get Opera Mobile. It's free and a substantially better browser that the stock Pocket IE. Other than that, browse the forums, you will find so much! Have a look for my post in this thread. Lots of idea's for programs!
im using my own wifi at home. I am not paying for data connection and i have it blocked. how do I set up SMTP?

1.) Get the keyboard fix, its in the CAB list, its under "Tilt keyboard fix".
2.) Try seeing what it is connecting to and if your wifi modem is letting it connect to it
3.) Probably Tom Tom the one made for the tilt. Its on here somewhere.
4.) CAB List has some . PM me and I will tell you some more in detail.

Why do people try to drive people away from the tilt? Most of the regular users wont see the problem, they will just see that its a bit slow when doing things and overall its a great phone. If you see that its a slow phone then you are over using it.

I've got 2 accounts set up on my Tilt, one's Gmail and the other is with Comcast. For whatever reason, when I check Comcast it takes forever to finally come back with a response. It sits at 'Connecting...' for maybe 5-10sec and then 'Logging on...' for a good 45-60secs which is too long. Gmail comes back in like 3secs. On my pc at home it goes extremely fast so I know it's not on Comcast's end.
This happens whether I connect via wifi or 3g... For battery purposes I have it set to manually check, plus I check more often than 2hrs. XpressMail hasn't impressed me but if there's another method that might work better, I'm all ears!
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I had the same problem when I used to have comcast e-mail. When you set up your comcast e-mail did you let Windows set it up? I suggest manually inputing the incoming and outgoing mail server settings. I would suggest checking those as they relate to Comcast settings.

Yeah I double checked those again and they're set the exact way as they are on my desktop pc, with the exception for outgoing mail which is necessary... Very weird... Thanks for the response though!
I think Comcast does that because it's out of network, . On my laptop,when I'm out of network it takes a long time to check too. This happened with my last smartphone also, so it's not a Kaiser issue at least.

Deffinately not specific to the Kaiser...this happened on my Cingular 8125 (Wizard) and At&t 8525 (Hermes) as well.
Well I just needed to make sure it's not something I was doing wrong on my end. If that's how it is, that's how it is. Not too big a deal but never hurts to ask right?
Thanks for the input!
After searching a good bit, I found a forum that said that even though the settings aren't checked for SSL, that it still goes through and does this. They said there was a tweak program or something to disable this. Not sure if that makes sense but I know that SSL is disabled in my setting under Comcast... could that be related?

Yup-mine was the Cingular 3125
(On a side note
totally glad I got ATT to let me out of the 2 yr hardware contract to upgrade to the Tilt-took a bit,but they agreed, had to make my case that they allowed upgradin to the iThing with no penalty, and after going to a 3rd level supervisor-was able to get the Tilt-and no penalty-had a yr left on my 3125 contract and they left me like that-so next yr can upgrade again at no penalty.)

Don't know if that tweak modified the registry and left it that way or what, but after removing that tweak program and resetting my email account and a soft phone reset it works awesome!! lol go figure.
Anyone know where to look in the registry for that disable ssl?

Found the problem-and a reg hack
Found the issue-
It turns out that the issue lies with the Comcast server. The short answer is that the Comcast server does not have SSL enabled and the mobile operating system (2003, WM5/6) thinks it does.

WARNING: This regedit turns off SSL for e-mail, so if you are concerned about it,or use another e-mail app that needs it, don't use this fix.
Here are the directions:
Follow these steps using any register editor software for Pocket PC.
1. Open Registry editor.
2. Locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox
3. Create a new DWORD value "ForceOffSSL" and give it a value of 1, Base=Decimal (tap Edit, and New DWORD Value).
4. Soft-reset device.

Well for whatever reason, once I did that registry edit, I couldn't check either email account that I have in my device. It just kept stalling out at 'Connecting...'
I soft rebooted and attempted it twice with no luck. Any ideas?
Yup-
My fault-just googled for it and saw that regedit. Sorry, pulled a noob error , didn't test it b4 I posted and didn't realize that that it works for WM5. Seems it doesn't work on WM6. My apologies. I just deleted the key after testing it and I'm back to normal logon-sloooooooooooooow

No worries. I did the same to fix it. No problems now.
re slow email, microsoft strikes again
I had the same problem only with 2 comcast accounts. AT&T uses the xpressmail client for the first email account (as xpress mail can only handle one account) and outlook for all subsequint accounts. any account works just fine in the xpress mail and any outlook account is delayed at login. delete xpress mail and all the accounts lag. There is no way around this other than a third party email client. I have had good luck with Profimail (though I hate thier buttons) and flexmail. both are available as trials on Handango. I hate the thought of spending $30. on an email client but if your Tilt is set for fairly constant email updates the lag times add up and kill the battery very quickly. If any one knows of a cost effective (cheap) client let me know.
This worked for me

HERE IS EVERY OPTION YOU HAVE
The Windows Mobile Instant Messaging Bible
If you can't get connected, I don't know what your specific configuration is.... Do you have a data plan? or Let's be a little more specific....Have you PAID for a data plan? If you're trying to connect it via the proxy hack or something, then I don't know what to tell you except for simlpy fork out the extra $19.99 a month, and just get a data plan. You can ask all day how to get your car from point A to point B without the use of gasoline, sure, you can go only downhill, but at some point you're just going to have to do what needs to be done.
Please, Please, Please don't Cross post or post over and over and over. Keep in mind most of us have jobs and responsibilities and its not like we sit at home all day waiting to answer your questions. We don't mind questions, and trust me, I do nothing but answer questions all day long...
but keep in mind the "Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" will get old after a while.
If someone hasn't answered your question, its because they don't know or haven't had the opportunity to do so yet ... or maybe they haven't seen you post... I don't know, but please relax and cut us a break. Everyone is here to help, and I will be the first to try to help anyone, but please help us help you.
for the people who misunderstood my im plus connects but theres no text box. and my agile messenger doesn't connect.

palringo isnt connecting.
I'm not sure exactly whats up with my phone, since you can't change any of the connection settings under OZ...but when i try to sign onto aim, it keeps saying "communications error. please try again or check your settings. IM is not supported over wi-fi connections" the funny thing i'm surfer the web right now, checking email, but for some reason i can't sign onto aim. any ideas? thanks in advance
you can surf the web over wifi but oz manager does not support it so even though you are connected to a wifi network it will not work.
thats the first thing i read...i'm not using wifi, i'm using AT&T network...so, again since there's no settings in the oz instant messenger menu...anyone have any guesses?
This phone is just a piece of Paper Weight
Mod Edit: Keep It Cool.
turn ur wifi off and it should work fine
Since the user says they are not on WiFi I really dont think that will do much. OZ IM is hit or miss with the Tilt. In my expierience its either hit or miss. I dont even use it now. I either use BeeJive or IM+. They work great for using IM on a data connection since you say thats what you're using.

I'm not sure what it is, but for some reason some of the programs are not connecting to the internet on my tilt. i'm running the q-mobile tilt rom, and the only thing that is connecting to the medianet is palringo. i can't access the new w/ windows live or internet explorer. any idea what it could be?

Hi dude
more info plz!! I didn't well undertand your problem!
Are you trying to connect by your Pravider Data Connection (GPRS/HSDPA) or by WiFi??!!
sorry, i guess i didn't say that. i did say medianet, but i sure have been a little more concise. but yes, i'm trying to connect through att wireless medianet. the weird thing is, i am connected because i am able to go online with palringo and talk w/ contacts on aim, but IE doesn't work, windows live doesn't work either. i went through and changed some of the settings in media net per attwireless support forum, i'm looking for the proxy cab to download as it isn't on my phone, this could be the fix for it...but i highly doubt it because the internet was working on my phone just fine for the first week or so after i installed my ROM. now it just wont connect anymore, and i know i didn't do anything except uninstall solitaire and a few other games
ok...not much progress, but i guess this is a start. instead of getting an error message when i try to open a page w/ IE, in the status bar it says "Locating..." "Opening...", "0 Kb"...then it just stops, and nothing loads up. I'm stumped

First of all sorry, but i'm not American, so correct me if i'm wrong: "ATT Wireless" is your Phone Provider, right? and you are trying to connect to internet using the Provider Data Connection and not Wi-Fi, e.g. through your home router (Wi-Fi = Wireless but not "ATT Wireless", names coincidence!!! ), right? if this is correct, you didn't answer me to the above-mentioned question (using Provider Data or Wi-Fi??)!!
So try to set this Windows options:
Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections -> Advanced Tab -> Networks Selection -> than select in the two options your Internet Provider service, more ,if you need, under the both tweak keys you can edit it, like proxy settings!
Hope to well undertand your problem!
Umm...i did answer your question, i did say it was attwireless. I'm guessing you're not familiar with NA cell phone providers, which i'm sorry we missed, but i did answer the question. No need for the rolling of eyes. But yes, as i said in some posts earlier, i did change those settings already as per the attwireless support forum on their website. But its still not working.

Ciao
its ok, no problem at all. thanx for the link but that didnt' work either.i really dont know whats going on with my phone, the internet worked flawlessly for the first 2 weeks i had my phone, then it just stopped working yesterday. well, it stopped working for every other program except for palringo, and i'm almost certain that it is not sms based, so i dont understand why that would work, and not other programs.
UPDATE:
ok, so i tried using the media new gprs connection with my 8125, same situation. i'm not sure what on earth it could be, but w/e it is, i can use palingro and aim pocket pc on my tilt, but i just can't get any data from web or anything else. go figure. i think i'm just gonna let give it up for the day, i've been working on it for 8 hours. maybe take a look at it again this weekend, i dont HAVE to have the net until monday, but even then i can still use wifi until i get this sorted out.
ok, so it looks like just about everything is working now on my phone except internet explorer while connected to the AT&T wireless EDGE/3G connection. I can download the maps while connected to Windows Live GPS, i'm able to sign on and chat while using agile messenger, i can download emails on the go with my outlook mailbox.
The only thing that is giving me a problem still is internet explorer/opera mobile. Anytime i type in a page it says "locating...", "opening..." "0 KB" while using IE then it just stops there and doesn't load a thing, and when using opera is says no connection detected. Anybody know what this could be? I dont see anywhere in IE or opera where you can change browser settings as far as connectivity...
very similar problem
Hi,
I'm having a very similar problem. I have an HTC TYTN II unlocked. It has worked beautifully for a couple of months and suddenly PIE would not work. It says Connecting...Locating...Opening and then hangs in there for a while until it error outs with "the connection has been lost"
I'm on T-Mobile full internet plan. The ROM is original stock ROM (UK). Curiously, the "push" emails continues to work, but PIE does not. I can't login to Live messenger either.
I have reset the phone to factory settings to no avail. I have called T-Mobile and they say my account is okay.
Any idea? This is really weird.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
elkavayo, where are you located? I am having the same problem today & I am in south florida. I just got off the phone with a T-Mobile tech & he tried something and said it appeared to be a network problem - not a phone issue. Wi-fi is working fine.
weebo523
I'm located in South Florida too, Miami to be precise. Those were my thoughts initially, but I called T-Mobile and they told me that there were no outages or network problems. This has been happening to me since Wednesday 8:00 AM.
Additionally, I swap SIMs with a friend, who also have T-Mobile, and configured his phone (HTC Touch unlocked) to use T-Mo full internet and it worked on his phone with my account!
My wide and daughter (Dash and T-Mo SDA) can also connect to thye net normally with their phones, so I don't think it is the service. Mine doesn't work with neither full nor T-zones. It does work with Wi-Fi though.
The mystery continues... thanksfor sharing your story. Hopefully we'll find a "cure" soon. I've beenthinking about "upgrading" to 6.1.....
i have the same problem with an unlocked Tilt running on my Rogers network.
all my messaging apps work but not Internet Explorer.
I'm in Fort Lauderdale and just had the same problem .. I have TWO 8525's (TyTn) on T-Mobile and also a Wing with T-Mobile, whats weird, is that both 8525's are having the problem, whereas the Wing is working fine.
There is definately an issue right now with South Florida and t-mobile.
elkavayo & vr24, this is strange. It seems to be happening exclusively to the Tilt / TyTn & in South Florida with one Rogers. And it seems like very few of us have the problem. I am usually pretty good at trouble shooting but this has me stumped.
totally, I have tried tons of settings, everything I can come up with, used their Data Configurator, I've tried 3 different ROMs, including Win Mo 6.1, and even on the TyTn forum, people with the 8525 in other parts of the country aren't having the issue.
It's really messed up, and as I said, my Wing works fine, lol... but I want my TyTn as the wing is having other malfunctions. the only problem is, how can you argue it's the network when one phone works and the other doesn't. there is SOMETHING that changed on the network though that is not accepting something with the tytn, in just our area, lol.. obviously. Just no idea what it is.
vr24 - at least you saved me the trouble of trying different ROMs, which I was just about to do I did try going to a backup with no luck. Do you think that something could have gone bad in the phone that connects us through GPRS?
I guess I will have to sleep on this for now. Hope you or someone figures this out while I'm sleeping - VBG
Lol... don't count on me too much to figure this one out. It's quite the nightmare really. And it's a shame. I just purchased my 2 Hermes and was thrilled to have them and they were working, now I have very expensive bricks basically!!!
Anyways, help would be awesome to anyone out there willing to continue troubleshooting this.
Well I have some "good" news... I'll be heading from Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles this coming Wednesday, if we don't get it sorted out by then, and this magically works on the West Coast, I'm jam t-mobiles balls into a vice grip until they fix it. I'm REAL curious to see if it makes any difference.

I can put the same SIM back in my Tilt and I am running great. Also downloaded URPREY-ICS from a different thread and installed it. But still having the isssue. Any help is appreciated.
It's AT&T's way of trying to force you to get a tethering plan. You need a registry editor, and maybe your phone unlocked, but mine worked without it.
Go to the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
There will be a value ForceCellConnection it will be set to "AT&T ISP". Change it to "Media NET" without the "" and that should do it. You'll need to close and reopen internet sharing if you had it open while doing this.
Thanks so much! It worked!!!!

All you really have to do is go into settings and select the ATT ISP... edit... instead of [email protected] change to WAP. This will connect the forced ATT ISP Setting to connect to wap.cingular... No need for a download or anything... I had mine working in a few seconds.
I am assuming it is against AT&T's TOS to tether without the plan, correct?
My question is... I pay for the unlimited data package... If I tethered for small amounts of data while traveling is it really noticeable? Is there any other way for them to tell?

they can't notice if the traffic is coming from a laptop or a phone but they can notice irregularities in the data consumption. Basically, if you use it for normal usage (web browsing, email, etc..) then you should be fine.

I've had unlimited data for over two years. I stream TV via orb from my home pc to my phone and laptop, browse the internet going to whatever site I please, etc. I've went over 5GB a few times, but normally stay in the 2-3 GB a month range. I've never heard anything. And not they can't tell. If it's against their TOS, they need to tell their reps in the store. When I got my blackjack two years ago, that's exactly what they told me to do. They said you don't need a plan other than unlimited to tether with this phone.

So did I. Because I already had a registry editor downloaded on my mem card and it worked fine on my new phone. A registry editor is a requirement IMHO, so it's well worth the download even if you don't use it for this.

Actually you are better off to just empty out the value.
This way, when you go to internet sharing you will get a second drop down asking you to select the connection.
I did this and it works greate. ( This is how the unlocked version of HTC Touch Pro has )

Have you tried any of the steps above? Your post is pretty vague.
Will they kill your contract if your caught using too much data?

I hit around 5.8GB back in March. Didn't hear anything, so I assume no news is good news. They CAN do it however. Doubt full that they will unless you make it a habit. That was only my second or third time over 5GB in over 2 years and the most I have ever used in a month. Yay march madness!
Took latest HTC ROM and sharing will no longer work
I updated my Rom on both my Fuze and Tilt. Now internet sharing will not work any more. I get the remote refusal message. I went into the reg and I do not have the forceconnect value to delete. Any suggestions??

Try a custom ROM? I don't have that ROM to tell you what to change, but I would guess it is the connection internet sharing is using. Use media net and see if that helps. If not, custom rom! There's no good reason really to run a stock ROM unless you intend on using your phone the way AT&T wants you to.
I know how to edit the registry on a PC, how do you do get to it on a Tilt 2?

Same way...with a registry editor.
Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Does the Tilt2 already have a register editor, or do I need to download one? If it has one, how do I get to it? If I need to download one, what would you recommend?
Thanks,

You need to download one. I'm using whatever came with my ROM, so I'm not sure of the name, but they are available here. Just search for them.
Thanks, I'll find one.
