no one has really tweaked the Kaiser. I was browsing a website (hackaday).com and they do some crazy out of this world things. How come no one has figured out a way to put an IRDA port on a Kaiser or something really useful. I have steady hands and I'm good at opening stuff. Would that be possible to incorporate the IRDA port of lets say an Ipaq phone and install it in the Kaiser? I think this phone would be bad ass if I could control everything in my house with my phone. Just wondering if it was possible or if any of you guys were members of that website. What do you guys think.
I mean for gods sake. They turned a freaking phone into a TAZER. How freaking cool is that.

You know you are right!
I have a couple of jet skis - but it would be cool if I could say - "hey - I am out at the lake and forgot my jet skis - can I use my Kaiser for that?"
Can anyone here help me put a motor on the Tilt with an impeller and I guess I will need a seat?
Oh - and now that it is a little larger - I will need someone to make a holder for me as well? (it will have to fit on my belt by the way.)

Ok I am aware of the thread opened for the IRDA port. I'm just saying no one has attempted to tweak a Kaiser.
One the website they turned an Xbox 360 into a Laptop, Wii as a Laptop, etc. The point I'm trying to make is that no one has attempted to play around with the inner workings.

You are welcome - and everything does not have to have a point does it? If so the point was you can strap a bill on a goat but that does not make it a duck!
If you need the IRDA functionality - rather than take it apart - void any chance of a warranty - strap on a port wire it up - have additional issues - why not actually purchase a phone/unit with an IRDA port on it?
Re: there are people with amazing talent on that site -yup - over here our guys are toads - don't got a lick a sense between em.
Several french fries short of a happy meal - the lot of us.
Well - that sums up my entertainment for the morning!
Bill
Anyway..... any other input from other people.
Bill why would I buy another phone if I like this one. That's like people buying a Honda and customizing it to their liking. (adding rims, spoiler, turbo tint, blah blah blah etc) They could buy Mugen Honda which has all that stuff combined but they'd rather prefer the satisfaction of doing it themselves. Catch my flow? I like my phone and want to mess around with it more that's all I was saying. I don't see anyone laughing so obviously either you are not funny or nobody cares what you have to say.

I personally have always thought of this site as great (or simple) minds getting together to improve the functionality of the phone not to see if we can turn our phones into something that no longer resembles a phone.With all the wild cooking and software development the basic premise of will it make it a better phone has always held.
How would this even work there is no hardware for it. It doesnt make any sense you think someone is going to engineer a new board and electronics for you ? If anyone had that kind of talent they wouldent be waisting it for free.
OK check out hackaday. THey have mad talent and they post instructions on how to do it yourself. So yes they do it for free most of the time.

You must be a carpenter, you lined that nail up and hit it right on the head!!!
It's like once a week some n00b posts a redundant thread about the iphone, if they search they can find plenty of answers.
If you like the iphone THEN BUY ONE.
Im sure i just opened a bag of worms, and by the end of they day, there will be tons of replies about how nice the GUI is and everything else these trendy tree hugging iphone lovers can think of to defend their theory.
Fact is the iphone sucks (and thats a fact)

Anti Apple fanboys!
I think some of the comments from the antiapple fanboys are a little harsh. The fact is the guy has bought a Kaiser and likes the look of the iphone, so to him he's probably got the best of both worlds. I think everyone who immediately slags the iphone isn't seeing the full picture. It may have its faults with office syncing, no ability to configure etc.. but it is undoubtedly a thing of beauty with an interface that is ahead of it's time.
It amazes me that with all the hacking and modding going on in this forum that as soon as the dreaded "iphone" word is used all the antiappleheads race to be the first to flame the originator.
I would have given serious consideration to the iphone if it had the same functionality as the Kaiser but we all make choices. I for one think if people want to dress their Kaisers up as an iphone then fair play. I don't imagine anyone here with be giving the developer of slide2unlock a hard time for his app.
I'll wait for the inevitable backlash, yawn!!!!!

My wife's got an iPhone. Cool device indeed. So cool that I find it ridiculous to try to copy it's interface to our Kaiser. The Kaiser's simply not meant to be used like an iphone.
There's 2 different philosophy behind, it's like trying to adapt 7 seats cause you like space in a Mini or a Smart cause you like tiny little cars.
BUT using good ideas from the iphone that obviously can be adapted and adds value to the Kaiser is a good idea. I think that's exactly what HTC has done with the Diamond.

Over 1000 topics regarding the iphone, just in the xdadev site alone, so dont critisize me for telling someone to search, I rest my case http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825...phone&sa=Search&cof=FORID:0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

i doubt this will be usefull or give you the result you hope for.
I doubt they will even know, let alone try, about flashing and the massive advantages this gives. I doubt they will touch on the various 3rd party apps that really make this phone and instead, will focus on a standard "factory fit" which, lets face it, is a bit crap. Will they cover the fact that this phone is an exellent business tool (oh how i miss TV/VGA out ... )
I also doubt they will mention the Iphones failings, its 2.0 software disaster, its "push" (yeerrr right!) email or the fact people are having there entire contacts and calendars being wiped out in front of them or again that they STILL can't change batteries
I see them going for the Iphone.
Who knows, Germans have choosen Diamond as a best phone on the world with iPhone as a 2nd with quite big adventage. Who knows, maybe those people will make some big review and will compare those phones in every aspect.

1500 of german inside-handy.de users choosen Diamond as most desirable phone of the year. I was wrong, not the best, but most desirable
The Gadget Show IMO is only of use to morons - the sort who go to Currys etc and believe the 'salesmen' when they say they need a £80 monster hdmi cable. They never set things up properly and i'll guarantee they haven't flashed the roms etc. I know you shouldn't really need to but thats my point, gadget show is for people who don't know nothing!

I watch the gadget show because some of it well put together and you can tell the producers/presenters do know what they are talking about even if they do have to dumb it down for a maintream tv audience somewhat.
As regards the flashing issue, I doubt they will go into it in detail but why should they? Most users don't know about it and if you did tell them they probably wouldnt want to be bothered with it anyway. Its a big time sink just for a setting up a mobile, which should really have been done by HTC in the first place.
Check out this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybaPS0NLwFQ
Most of the people they ask dont even realise about all the 3rd party apps or different roms,all they seem interested in is the way it looks.

Thanks for the link, i hadn't realised before how crappy that show is, are they trying to be Top Gear or something! They're doing camera shots of the pavement that are so quick the phones blurred! And if the presenter emphasised his words anymore he'd explode.
In that video, that kind of test is always going to be about looks, if you even try to use the phone you wont know how because youve only had 5 seconds with it so all they can compare is looks, size, weight etc and go on what the presenters say.
Two things immediately spring to mind on watching the clip - Apple has spent a fortune on promoting the iphone, so that anyone who watches TV will have an idea how it works - if the touch screen from the Diamond had been given similar video tutorials on primetime TV, no doubt a lot of people would find the interface just as user friendly.
The other factor is the Apple effect - people feel that Apple has a brand value akin to Richard Branson's woolly jumpers - all cuddly and vaguely environmental/hippy chic. I prefer to be apart from the crowds, not queueing to buy on the basis of marketing hype.
Well I'm definitely sending my Diamond back. The one they had on the gadget show had a hardware keyboard and a Nokia label. Mine has neither.

Of the bat:

-The 60 year old host, talking bout technology? Not good! (no harm intended to any 60 year old member in the forum)
And Ill always do this on any thread that contains the words FruityPhone:
FruitPhone SUCKS!!!!
Remeber, second best they are.
the show is usually quite good, but after watching this they did not give the htc a proper review. I mean come on if you put a iphone in front of everyone they know what it is straight away! Seems like the Apple advertising is really sucessful.
I dont mind if our Diamond isnt as big as iphone to be honest.
After all do you want everyone to have the same phone as you! I call it a small prestige club and I am honored to have be in it.

Did you watch the same show as me? I only saw the IPhone versus a Nokia....
I suppose you are right in a sense, they didn't give the HTC a proper review ... as they didnt have one!
I stopped watching the gadget show a few years ago because i get the feeling that they really dont know what they are talking about, the reveiws and tests that they do are completley stupid and of course they are given more money to say good things about certain products.
There was an episode i flicked onto the other month, and they had picked out a bunch of HD TV's an said they were gonna get the best experts in the country to give them a thouogh testing to see which one was the best! So they took them to the tech guys (pc worlds attempt at making ppl think that their getting good advice!) who stood about 2 foot away from the screens an said that none of them were particaully good and then said the most expencive one wa no good because it was a Plasma set and could suffer from screen burn!
In short the show is biased to whoever pays them the most money to give the best review!!!1!!!
hey everyone,
As a fellow tilt user, I felt it important to express what some of us (if not, most) feel about the Tilt/Kaiser.
Please enjoy the following and send this to HTC.
New Version! Here is why.

nice one!
i'm looking forward to your "touch pro" review.
keep up the good work!
perhaps you should work out a little to fill out that xs mens shirt and be able to actually break a phone
When you have money to buy a new phone (my third tilt) and break it and brag about it, then you can talk.

Oh, so this is like the rest of the garbage on the internet related to "I broke it because I can. If you don't like it, you're too poor."
Get a clue.
What a waste!
I must not be an expert with the needs ot "most" people then. My email works, my text messaging works. The speed is great!
My games work. My GPS works. My TOMTOM works.
My internet - works!
My PHONE - well - that works as well.
I am totally happy.
Now - my battery life - I would like more than a day and a half on it - but... My SONY laptop never gives me more than 2 hours (even with a new battery) - so batteries are batteries.
Some day - I hope to be as good and needy with my phone as you are and THEN I can complain that it fails me.

I challenge you to knock yourself unconscious with a hammer at the end of the next video. You're not a man if you can't do that.
Mods - please forgive if this thread is misplaced!
I've gotten at G1 (Dream) and no longer have any use for this AT&T Tilt. I would sell it on Craigslist or eBay, but frankly I have no malice toward the world, and therefore will not unleash this drastic POS on some unsuspecting fool like me.
Not looking for much - I figure there is a developer here who would be happy to relieve me of it, along with two batteries and a docking station for a couple hundred bucks (I dunno?) If I'm asking too much, I apologize. It's definitely not mint, it's been beat up a bit, but is in excellent working order. The software has no issues that I'm aware of. I refuse to sell it for market price because I feel it's an injustice to do so - AT&T should have paid ME to use this stupid pofc, but I do want to get rid of it.
I'm in SoCal, local pick up in exchange for cash is preferred, would also prefer to give it to a developer who will put it to good use as a platform for testing and developing on WM6 or whatever you like. If nobody wants it, you're welcome to join me for an "Office Space" moment whilst I toss it into the middle of PCH and watch cars and heavy trucks smash it to bits. Whatever is left (I would never litter!) will be somehow otherwise consumed appropriately (perhaps a vat of acid?) and summarily disposed of.
Thank you for your interest; again, should this thread be misplaced, I apologize - instruct and I will comply kindly!
Thank you!
OH - and a BIG shout out to everyone here that helped me try to live with this thing for a few months... it was a few months too long, but I appreciate your valiant efforts nonetheless - you certainly made this thing a LOT less bad! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP!
To paraphrase the Bard...
The dude doth protest too much, methinks
Nah - it's astounding the difference between a device that works as it should and one that doesn't. WM6 is, imho, complete garbage. And my sentiments were completely reinforced as soon as I tried Android. The Dream just does what it's supposed to as a mobile phone - for instance - I CAN DIAL. It's nice, you know?
Anybody want this thing?

The Dream just does what it's supposed to as a mobile phone - for instance - I CAN DIAL. It's nice, you know?
Anybody want this thing?

I've only had my Tilt for two weeks, so forgive my ignorance, but I am fully able to dial on my phone (quite easily, I might add!). Does my phone do something unusual that other Tilt models don't do?
Just like in the PC and laptop world, Windows boxes are typically awful "out of the box". With knowledge, customization, and tweaking, though, most users should be able to find a setup that suits them. Obviously, for people looking for something that "just works" out of the box, the Apple and G1 products are great.
Best of luck with your new phone, and here's hoping your Tilt finds a good home.

From time to time, I find myself looking around and wondering "Why did I do that?", "What am I going to do with THIS gadget", and "OMG! *drool*". Yes, I did say it. Now you can too!
I've taken the next few minutes to sit here and let you guys see how I let my inner geek out. This picture was taken in August of this year after I added another two devices to my list. As you can tell below, I've got a good collection going. I'm always looking to add more, but I'm a bit of a cheapskate.
Originally, the idea was for me to start developing ROMs for each of the devices I had. Using the wonderful kitchen tools I've found, including the multi-device support ones, I was so happy to start...and then stop. I found myself becoming uninterested in developing ROMs, but kept collecting. Of course, this has caused some financial heart ship, but you know what, it's still sweet.
So, I say to you, this is my inner geek, his name is Steve, and he's getting out...
Special note: For those of you wanting to help me add to my collection, I accept Donations.

It's out on-loan to my girlfriend. She's using it as her GPS (with a BT GPS, of course). It lets her get out an explore without making me sit there and say "Turn Right Ahead".. I think I may switch it over to one of the Uni's before much longer though. She keeps complaining about the screen size... *sighs*
Wow!!
That´s a huge collection!!
Lol
Cool collection You should open up the 1st PPC Museum
If we look dispassionately at all our devices, lots of them look pretty much like each other and they are really quite ugly indeed! No designer worth their salt would sign their names on any of them, including the iThingies in my opinion.
But we can love the ugly anyway. That is probably a consolation to most! Lol! We probably look past their skin and see through their windows into their souls.
Would this be a reflexion of our souls? Through the looking glass...
Impressive...

See the below attached photo. I may be broke, but I got a woman, and we got a place.

Second iPhone is a 3G 8GB. First is a 3GS 32GB. Mostly using the second iPhone as a dev device to test the stuff I try to create. Needless to say, it's not going well. I keep two devices on me, and active, at any given time. Right now, they're the iPhone 3GS and the AT&T Fuze/HTC Touch Pro. The Athena stays in the car ready for GPS Nav. The Kaiser sits in the bag I carry my netbook in as a backup (as I've just recently gotten backup batteries for my TP/Fuze). The Hermes goes for the ride in the bag sometimes, but stays at home sometimes too. Most of the others stay at home more than anywhere else...
I meant that here looks to be a reflection of a panda...Nice to hav backups of backups for your stuff...
By the way, your photoshopping skillz are fantastic!!! lol...
