Location of Microphone on Tilt?

This is probably a silly question, but where is the the microphone located on the Tilt? Is it the small round hole at the bottom, the two larger round holes on the bottom, or somewhere else?
Thanks,
Robert

Same hole as the reset button hole. I'm not sure if it uses the same Mic for speakerphone, though.

Where is the reset button hole? (I never have used it, so I don't know where it is. Sorry that I am such "newbie".)

On the bottom of the device, just to the right of the USB connector. Note that there are two holes; the big round hole is for the reset, the small oval hole is the mike.

You are not a newbie. You have chosen to be ignorant by not reading the manual that came with the device. If you do not have manual then you have still chosen to be ignorant by not visiting htc.com and downloading the free and very easily searched PDF file. If you did not assume you need to read the manual for such a sophisticated device then you shouldnt be asking such a simple and easily answered question.
I've read the manual 3 times so far.

Dented screen - what to do?

Well this really sucks. I somehow dented the screen on my Kaiser. I dont know how, didnt drop it and never keep it in my pocket with something else. Anyways what are my options? It has slightly affected the touch of the screen around the dent which happens to be right on the SMS/MMS inbox button.

You're crossposting in too many forums... This section is upgrading only...
Why didn't you also ask in every other phoneforum here ? (oh no wait; you got a Kaiser )
And the answer to you question is too simple and obvious maybe? Have it send in for repairs, or try to get a replacement screen-unit yourself...
Since hardware can't be pushed through the WWW wires, there really isn't much use for asking here ...eh?
PS: and my condolances with the damage...

so i dropped my phone in a lake and this happened....HELP

it all works totally fine.....
EXCEPT the e and w keys on the keyboard don't work
i have an AT&T tilt and was hoping someone new how to reprogram the button functions
i want to take the w and e keys and swtich them with the "ok" and "tab" keys on the bottom of the keyboard....
just totally switch the two buttons so that i can use the @ and ? signs when i press the "Fn" key

i was hoping to make cab i could install like the tilt keyboard fix cab
only thing is
i don't know how to reprogram the keys or make a cab
any help would be greatly appreciated please pm me
UPDATE i just looked at my keyboard and was thinking to switch the w with the start menu key and the e with the tab key
thanks guys

Good to hear that your device is still (mostly) working after beeing dropped into a lake.
What did you do afterwards, how did you dry the device?

best thing to do is lay it out on a towel and leave it alone near a draft for acouple of days. let it totally dry out. if that dont work then you got some cleaning to do.

drying out
good 2 here phone still works, im guessing, but it sounds like u may still have some water under those keys (tiny droplets). The best way of drying a wet phone (or any gadget)(disasembled?(taken apart!)) is to place in as sealed container (airtight) filled with rice. The science is the rice will naturally soak up all the moisure around it. I've never tested it first hand but sounds like it should work. I think leaving it for 3 days in the rice should make it work. Good luck

you can also take it apart and completely submerse each peice separately in a highly volatile solution(rubbing alcohol will work, but i used ethanol), take it out and scrub for about five minutes with a toothbrush in all possible directions and then air dry on a towel for two days, yes it is time consuming but i left a test phone in water for three days and tried this and the phone worked perfectly

Buy New Keyboard
Expensive option is to replace the keyboard. If you go on eBay and do a search for Tytn 2 Covers or something alone thouse lines there are a couple of sellers that sell replacement covers that have the keyboards build it, and on the wiki page there are a couple of links to disasembly guides. Think replacements where around £50uk - Expensive and fiddly maybe, but your'll have a mark free case and fully working keyboard.

Rice is the best option I always recommend this. It has worked for me many times

thanks guys.....i actually dropped it in the lake about a month or so ago, i just finally got around to posting about my non working keyboard....i ended up taking it apart and letting it dry on my window sill in the sun for a full day and a half or so....
you really think there is still some water under the keyboard after a whole month....the e and w keys are the only things not working i just figured that something fried that spot on the circuit board or something along those lines....
does anyone know how to reprogram the keys on the keyboard? is it some registry setting? all i really need to do is switch some keys functions
perhaps ill try the rice thing tonight thanks guys

You may want to PM TaurusBullba or __Alex__ and ask them for help. I know that TaurusBullba posted the Tilt Keyboard Fix for HTC Roms (Remapping the hardware keys to the correct letters). Also, IIRC, __Alex__ posted the fix for TyTN II's using AT&T Roms.
Actually, if you search for their posts, they may mention how they did it.

so here's a going to bed and hoping when i wake up someone has helped me fix this bump....
im gonna go get some rice tomorrow after work
ill PM bulba and alex then as well
thanks everyone whos given advice....i really appreciate it
ill definitely post my results to help any future "phone in lake droppers"

AEKmap will let you remap the keyboard keys. I was using it with my Hermes to account for different phone/ROM difference. I don't remember 100% if it will let you remap the special keys too, but I think so.

Very nice to hear our phone can survive a full dunk. Mine fell out of my belt clip case while walking. I tried to catch it with my foot and to my horror, ended up drop-kicking it 10' end over end in a dirt/gravel parking lot. Picked it up, blew the dust off, put the battery cover back on, and it fired right up. I thought for sure it was a goner.
My hat is off to the HTC team for building a $500 device that can take abuse.

PQZII is another option for remapping the keys.

What TaurusBulba and I did is just take the keyboard layout registry entries from a ROM (AT&T for TaurusBulba, HTC for me) and dump it to a cab, so AT&T users can use HTC ROMs and vice versa.
I do seem to remember yet another thread which tells you how to actually map keys and it may be linked in the wiki.
Hope this helps!

Most likely your problem is coming from "dirt/minerals/gunk" that dried on either the PCB or under the keys. Dunking it in a high volatile solution and swishing it around, or similar, may help. Obviously remove the battery!

your phone can swimm..
thats cool...

always wanna know . . . . . . . . . . does it float?
LOL . . . .dropped my old siemens M65 off the boat, it worked for 30 mins on 5m depth, but never found it back . . .

Keyboard doubles n and m when typing

I don't know if it's the new rom or just the 'age' (3 month now)...
But since approx. two weekes, by typing messages on the x1 keyboard it doubles or even tripples the letter n, sometimes m? This very annoying...
Anyone have the same problem? All other keys work normal...
Anyone knows how to set a delay at the keyboard? When I press a key and hold it, it take half a second or so until it multiplys the letter. This time i would like to change. Any registry entry?
Thanks for the help...

same issue .. not only m and n on my side..
refer to this post 4 further infos...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483644

same mine. it's only dust

Mine's the opposite. My 'M' doesn't seem very sensitive. My words always seem to miss that 'M'. But the one that's real sensitive is the '.'. That seems to appear all the time.

it started like this with me .. the "M" alone was the problem ..
now the whole keyboard triples EVERYTHING ! -.-''
we really need help

I had that issue briefly with a R2A German Generic I tried. Never happened again though .

You can improve the situation by lowering the rate at which your key strokes are repeated by going to Settings > Buttons then on the "Up/Down Control" tab if you move the first slider to Slow and the Repeat Rate slider to Slow then the problem sort of "disappears"

I had the same issue with a lot of keys, i, m,n,k,l etc...
I did a hard reset and upgraded my rom, installed sms-chat... did everything but the issue persisted.
Finally i took it to the service center and they replaced the plate underneath which senses the keystroke.
It works fine now...

i dunno about u guys
but i spent all night cleanning the keyboard & its working fine now
its hard ,i used a YouTube video.

Exactly how did you cleaned your keyboard? I want to clean it by myself too.. Which tools did you use?

I used this vedio Xperia X1 - Disassembly Rear
Its harder than it looks , if you try it be VERY carefull as the parts can be easily broken​

Thanks a lot man!.. i'll give it a try and post the results cause this is a very common problem with the x1's. And probably as common as the cracks on the silver x1's.
Again.. Thanks a lot!

try this fix
i got this cab a while back for this problems, seems to work on wm6.5 also

disassembling did not help - there was no part to clean or to mechanically tighten.

Ok, I have done it oncemore - and it seems it helped. Although I am sure it was not dirty from "outside". I would say, it was the sticker or the glue from the sticker which made the contacts dirty.

how does this work what does it do any idea?

I haven't read through all the thread, but I can tell everyone who has this keyboard problem of multiple keystrokes and no keystrokes that it is HARDWARE and it can get worse over time. It can be sometimes lessened by some software tweaks but.... don't expect anything major.
I had the same issue, first starting with "f" then spreading over to space, l, m, n and a lot more keys.
The phone was sent to repair three times with no improvement until the third time when it was replaced. I sent it to Flextronics in Newmarket, ON with an RMA# from Sony Ericsson. I still have the worksheets and everything else if anyone wants to make a sticky because I see a lot of posts about this.
My original phone was a 08W36, I now have a 09W30 with no problems so far...
Better get it fixed before it goes out of warranty.
For those of you out of warranty, I think there were a few threads about this explaining how to disassemble the keyboard and clean the plates.

how long did you spend without your x1? sending it to getting it back because obviously if its gonna take 2 weeks then i'll be hesitant to send it :S

Anyone try cleaning the keyboard?

From searching this forum, I can tell that others are having the same issue I am having. It started out with just a couple keys and now about 50% of my keys require me to push really hard for them to type. It is not a lag issue as covered by another thread. It just feels like the there may be dirt or something under the keys that makes it harder to type. This issue also is not ROM related as I have flashed my device with several ROMS with the same result.
Has anyone had any luck taking apart the keyboard and cleaning underneath the keys? If so -- maybe post some tips on what worked or not.
Thanks.

I'd vote for compressed air

I agree. You might be able to disassemble the phone and take the keyboard out and use compressed air. That would make certain that all the dirt is really out of the board...

A work mate of mine did this the other day. He took it fully apart and cleaned it out with contact cleaner. Ill ask him wether it worked or not but I think it did because I saw him using the phone today.

contact cleaner
I've never heard of contact cleaner. I'll have to try that. After looking at this video for disassembly, it doesn't look like you can get underneath the keys. How did your co-worker do it? Pop off the keys like a laptop keyboard?

I guess some older thread on how to replace Kaiser keyboard will be useful.
Found this
About screen, but went through keyboard also ..

Yes, I found that as well and it was not of much use. The problem is not removing the keyboard from the phone. The problem is getting underneath the keys. You can see the keyboard front/back removed from my attached image. According to this other thread #119, #126, #127 they say it is impossible to get at the keypad underneath.
I might just take a can of compressed air and spray on top of the keys as best I can to see if it helps.

Hmmm, seems that no other way but perhaps replace the keyboard ..

You cant get under the "actual" keyboard without breaking it off the housing. The keys can be pulled off from the top, but the actual buttons are sealed below.
For what little it cost, just replace the whole thing and problems are solved. Just did my son and daughters couple weeks ago.

Im foolish I forgot to ask him about it. Thinking back he may have damaged it lol. He does kind of charge into things and then realise he cant fix it.

Agree with carhigh, just replace the whole thing. Kaiser parts not that expensive nowadays. Just need time to open it up.

I have the same problem. Tried blowing compressed air from the top, but didn't have much success with the keys. I'll probably get a new keypad and replace it!

Sorry if this is a common question but where do people recommend getting kaiser parts? My N key and spacebar dont work without pressing it really hard and it's doing my head in!
Cheers.

Your problem will slowly get worse. More and more keys will require extra pressure. Not sure where you could buy a replacement now (the phone is kind of old). After attempting to clean the keyboard, I gave up. I am just using onscreen keyboard program that is included in TPC's ROM. I think it is called finger keyboard. After a little practice, I am actually faster typing on that than I was with sliding the keyboard.

Try this guys - worked for me in fixing my S key:

Ah. Did not realize the keyboard did not come out of the housing...
