My girlfriend owns a Tilt and we foolishly activated push to talk and created a username and all. now I want to get rid of the feature all together (disabling only creates that blue icon in the top bar and doesn't go away). I've tried soft reset as well as removing the battery and the sim card but it doesn't appear to make a difference. how do I get of this little pain in the ass?

delete the "ptt" file using a registry editor. there are threads on how to do this please use the search function.
I did search the forums and most of the posts involved remapping the ptt key, not actually disabling the service, which is what I want to do. The service is active, and I want to turn it off as if I'd never activated it.
call up at&t then
I did a Hard Reset, which did the trick.
I also had made a back-up prior to activating it so I had something to go back to when I was done messing with it.
when I do a hard reset will i have to re-activate the phone with the provider, in this case at&t, via ESN and all the other info?
You will not have to reactivate your phone, but you will lose any data not stored on a MicroSD card.

WOW LOL WOW
I love the condescending attitudes of people who know more and refuse to help out those looking for some help.
I know how to do reg tweaks, cabs and so forth but my experience with flashing and hard reseting isn't there yet.
Go LOL and tell me how 1337 you are, thanks for the help.
I don't know if it so much condescending as it is trying to develop the site.Going by your joining date this appears to be your first post. Coming on to a developers site and asking how to get rid of an AT$T service is like going on to a hardcore Hot Rod Enthusiast site and asking how to do an oil change on your Honda. Sorry

here, i can actually help. you need to either delete the reg keys, or the easy thing would be to delete the service from starting with the phone.
get Sk tools, and in process u can kill the PTT...and also in windows startup you can disable the ptt

Update: I'm holding off on updating the Tilt wiki for a while, because these seem to be issues rather than things we can really sort and alphabetize at this current time (and I suck at coding/formatting, period). If someone would like to suggest a potential setup for the Tilt section in the Wiki, please let me know.
I limited this to address nothing but Tilt questions that seem to come up waaaay too often…

Well, you can flash your Tilt with an HTC ROM which will fix it instantly, or try to read through this (reading = pain in the ass) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334759&highlight=ptt+button

Assuming the phone was obtained though ATT legitimately (i.e. you have a contract with ATT): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335392&highlight=sim+unlock (if you’re a long-time ATT customer this is Guaranteed to work)
Assuming you stole/bought the Tilt on eBay: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314547&highlight=sim+unlock (thanks tupisdin for doing this)
How do I get all the crap (bloatware) off my Tilt without flashing it?
Soft-reset (take the battery out) upon initial configuration (the part when is says “Windows will begin customization in x seconds”). If you’re past this point, do a hard reset (press both soft-keys at the same time and simultaneously insert your stylus into the bottom reset hole), and then do the soft reset thing upon configuration.
Where do I get the ATT/Cingular cabs for my Tilt so I can load tons of bloatware on my speedy HTC ROM?

Why won’t TomTom Navigator 6 (that I got off of forums/internet) not work on my Tilt?
Because it was made for the Kaiser ROM as a “taster version”…If you want it, buy it…support good products.
Update: The mods ruling on this is that any other version than the TomTom "Taster" version that came with the HTC ROM is considered Warez, so please don't post. This also goes for where to obtain TomTom maps (without buying them), etc.
Do I need a tethering plan with AT&T to tether my Tilt with my laptop?

Update: How do I make my Tilt look like an iPhone?
Find the closest building that is three or more stories tall, get to the roof, and jump off.
-that would make sense if most new users in the forum actually read the wiki, which they usually dont...also, the Tilt is going to be the most popular variand of the tytn II for a while, thats just a fact of life because of the amazingly low price you can get it from with AT&T.
I think everyone's made there point, so whether there is a sticky or not, it doesn't make any differences, for all the forums that I been in, I have noticed that new members never follows the rules, they will just post everywhere, they cannot be bothered to search first.
the way I see it, just have a mod to delete all duplicate thread or members asking for the same thing, that has been posted before.
it's the only way to get rid of all the excess thread.

Thread stuck.
There IS an over-abundance of stickied threads at the top of the Kaiser forum at the moment. However, because the Kaiser (and all variants) are so new, there will be MANY new users with many repeated questions. So a temporary solution is to sticky threads with the most important/commonly asked issues and questions.
In the near future, all this information should be migrated over to the WIKI with a single sticky directing everyone there.
So guys and gals, get those dictionaries and thesauruses out and make the WIKI nice. It should, after all, be a group resource and effort.
Redundant Questions
The reason you have so many redundant questions is that the Tilt was just released into the largest consumer population in America, Caaaleefornia as Schwartzenager says it. Unfortunately, all these Left Coasters that always have to have the latest & greatest gadgets don't know the difference between a MSM7200 & a BMW 750.
Having said that, now I need to ask a ??? I have tried everything but can dump the time & battery icon off the title bar without alignment problems. Anybody find a key yet? Are we stuck creating new icon templates in black to save us from the alignment issue? Or has someone found a key to compensate the alingment loss from removing both time & battery status icons?

I noticed that last night when I rebooted my Tilt. They announced it at the beginning of the year, saying they were gonna roll it out in June, then kept pushing the date back. I have been bugging the Cingular guys at the store in the MOA for months about this.

haha true, i guess that is the paradox we are faced with...also I'd like to thank whoever the mod was that got rid of all the threadcrapping, it was definitely needed.
We've always accepted that we walk a fine line on the ROMs.
Technically when you purchase a WM5/6 device you have purchased that OS. We are able to Mod our desktop OS to extremities that PPC OS will probably never see. Cooked Roms are the answer. We do draw the line at ROMs that include WAREZ.
Now if you could come up with a way to have two OSes installed on your PPC at the sam time then this gray area would be decidedly more black.
BTW, you're welcome on the clean-up let's try to keep it looking good in here.

Fine, if the touchflo settings arent there then I dont know what to say, other then I am done dealing with ATT ROM Problems, not because I can't answer them, but because of the majority of people that stick with the AT&T ROMs. I am not going through the somewhat lengthy process of reflashing an AT&T ROM onto my Tilt so I can go into the settings and find the entry to change for the clicking sound TouchFlo makes...if anyone has this knowledge (although I doubt they would because they probably also would not still be using the AT&T ROM) please feel free to contribute the fix.
AT&T are the crappiest ROMs, and the people that seem to stay with them and have questions about them are almost always newbies that dont want to take the time to learn about flashing their phone (which is basically what the whole purpose of this forum is - improving your phone's current OS by flashing it with a newer, better one, which 99.9% of the time NEVER includes an AT&T ROM). Sorry to sound rude to those of you I've rubbed the wrong way but the majority of those people whom I have are AT&T users new to the forum who dont want to take the time to read.
For those who are in the 1% that dont flash because they are afraid of bricking and/or voiding their AT&T warranty, sirsycho has a whole thread devoted to getting it back to the AT&T ROM so you wont lose your warranty (it's stickied).

How about pulling this thread into the wiki? I think this would be much handier...
Maybe it would be good to include this option ("wiki") in such a poll too (instead of that biased 2 answer-possibilities).
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.
I did a search but couldn't find any topics, hope this hasn't been covered before.
Recently I've lost two girlfriends (one after the other) because of texts that should not be on my phone. I'm starting to get slightly annoyed with the repetition. I probably don't deserve help on this...
Obviously I could lock my phone with a code, but this raises suspicion. So what would be great is if I could edit the reg to disable any SMS notification at all (and perhaps rely on the HTC Home to show when I have new SMSs). Is there a reg edit for this?
Alternatively, is there a reg edit to stop the notification from showing who it's from and the first few lines?
Failing both of those are there any other suggestions, other than flight mode, that I could stop untimely texts from being seen by prying eyes?

It's not the sending that's the problem, it's the replies! I'm not trying to excuse my behaviour, but it's not always that simple. That is to say that jealousy can blind the reader sometimes.
i guess your having problems with the girl actually going through your phone and seeing who sends the txts? if its just the pop up box you get when u get a new msg you can go into sounds and notifications and turn it off. i have been using palm threaded app for a while now and it has a privacy mode, it will give you the pop up box, but wont say what it says or who from. best thing i can advise to you is to just delete your txt msgs, its the easiest and only fail safe way. oh and make sure you delete them out of the deleted folder, hehe.
Thanks Cashin. I know deleting is the easiest and cheapest way, but doing that is actually quite laborious, as you have to remember Inbox, Sent Items & Deteted Items. Also, I don't like to guard my phone 24/7, I like it to sit on the bed side table sometimes without being paranoid about the bright screen powering up with an sms.
I've trialled SecretSMS for an afternoon and it's perfect, so I purchased it. For predefined contacts, the light still powers up when you recieve a text, but no other notification, and a password protected inbox/sent items. Great stuff.

What do you mean with "inable and disable cabs"? I sopose you want to enable and disable something but what do you mean with cabs? If you mean files with a .cab-extention - they are compressed installation files which can't be "disabled". Or do you mean something different?

You want a program that "makes feasable" the ability to "Flavor with hot spices" a "taxi?"
I don't know if I've seen one of those.
well what i mean i have a few cabs installed in my tilt and now i want to stop them from running but i dont want to delete them.
for the guys who have so much time to troll around here and act like children. sorry to inform you that there are people on the internet that english is not there first language. so please do us all a favor and grow up. leave your abused childhood past to your self.
Do you perhaps mean that you have programs that automatically run each time you power your device on?
In which case, FORGET ABOUT THE WORD __CAB__
This is only how those programs are initially installed onto your device.
OK, moving on...
If each program does not have an options page, when you enter its interface, then you could try navigating to
My Device\Windows\Startup
then delete the shortcut in there that refers to the program you want to stop from automatically running.
Resco Explorer will definitely see all files you need, you may need to fiddle if you want to use the standard Windows Explorer.
I agree people troll around here often, but if you explain what you need a little more clearly, you will give them less opportunity to do so.
If you do NOT in fact want to stop programs from automatically running, without un-installing them, please ignore above

Well, your last sentence was not very grown-up either! You don't want to be abused and jet abuse others! As my father would say: It takes two to tango.
as for your question: I don't know what cabs exactly you have installed but it's either some apps or some tweaks and non of which can be "disabled". You can uninstall the apps again (which you don't want) or just not run them. Or in case of apps which install some additional system services or which starts with the phone you can disable them from starting by hand (in the registry) or you can use some tweak-tool like MemMaid; Which I would recommend since you can destroy much less with that one. But both is risky if you don't know what you do.
maybe an example would help us to help you?
what did you install? (so that we know, if it even runs)
i guess with delete you mean uninstall?

Whoa Geez Chill. I Assumed English wasn't your first language. I was merely using my resources available to me to try and understand the question. Maybe I was too literal.
Asked, Answered.... Closed
@Streetknight: Your original question had nothing to do with want you were trying to accomplish. As you have not seen fit to even select your country in you user profile we have no indication of your language problems (if could be a young & dumb kid just as easily as someone who has very little english skills). As the person asking the question it is your responsibility to state clearly what you are trying to accomplish.
Had you said "I have installed some software that automatically starts everytime I reset my phone and I want to stop the automatic start." you would have received an answer fairly quickly.
Now you can say that your knowledge of English is low but then I'd have to remind you that you choose to ask your question on an English Language Forum. The expectation therefore is that you have sufficient English skills to properly ask the question and also understand the answer.
Hi All
In my contacts lists I have the windows contacts and the SIM contacts, all there to confuse me.
is there anyway i can only show the windows / outlook contacts when accessing the contacts on my phone ? I dont really want to delete the SIM contacts as I use them in another phone occasionally
Any ideas ?
Cheers
one idea for you, SEARCH
The answer is easy to find. You gotta work for your knowledge on this site.
waste of post instead of helping...i guess so is mine but i would help if i knew or not post at all..
well documented that setting must be cooked into a Rom. If you simply toggle the Registry Key it will reset itself!
Kaiser tweak setting does it for me when advanced cong did not work.

Reboot, many reports that it doesn't survive a soft reset/power-down & up.

It has worked for me when I have reboot numerious times, after flashing 3 different roms L26, Dutty's and others. Some of the programs I use require soft resets after installation. I usually have to got through at least 4 resets to get my programs and tweaks installed properly.

Nice Answer and terribly helpful that.
I did infact try a search which brought little that would help other than a hundred or so posts containing the odd word.
Please stop having a go at those who want some seemingly simple help advice. If you know it GIVE IT.....
I use a range of different forums and all have been great to use with a wealth of information to help and guide us mortals out of a hole as well as offering info on how to make the best of things. These forums are backed up by some pretty knowledgeable folk. This is one of the best I've used.
However its also one of few forums where some of its members who deem themselves as gods regularly seem to want pound those who simply want some help.
I often read posts on here where people have asked a pretty simple question and got berrated for it. All they get as a response is '...SEARCH..SEARCH...SEARCH......SEARCH.... ' JUST HELP for godsake
C'mon man, theres soooo much info on here ,IT CAN BE hard to search for the right answer especially if the correct search terms or keywords arent being used, it can become frustrating for anyone seeking help and therefor easier just to create a new post. No ones fault just the sign of a great forum.
Please though....have patience and offer help. We're not all gods
Cheers
use the file under my attachment. it will hide ur sim contacts and it will survive soft resets/power down. This cab was posted under L26's V9 thread.

Works a treat !!

Glad you found it ssunstone. Some people in these forums can be really anal about giving out info and get off on telling them to search. Sometimes its valid but I see many times when it isnt.
I agree for new users to the site it can be incredibly confusing due to the shear volume of info and threads, added to this is the fear that doing something wrong may brick your expensive device its no wonder that people ask for conformation.
