Kaiser R.I.P

Yo guys, I have had this Kaiser since January, and I must be honest it was a dissapointment, but then I stumbled across this site, and I started flashing my phone with different roms, and yeah I must admit, the dissapointment dissapeared for a while, and now, my phone's keyboard broke, and I can't do anything, its stuck on ECFG, so when i goto word or something, it types ECFGECFGECFGECFGECFGECFG the whole time.
Just want to say was an awesome time here, by the end of next month I'm gonna be throwing this Kaiser against the wall, theres just too much thats wrong with it, even out of the factory.
1) crap GFX drivers
2) crap battery life
3) my touched screen stopped working for a while
4) way too fragile
5) and now this.......keyboard stuck on ECFG...
6) During a phone call signal strength is 100%, but seems like Mic is cutting out everynow and then. Have to slap it while talking to the other person so they can hear me??!?!!
Thanks a lot for XDA otherwise i wouldve threw this phone out long ago.
Any reccomendations on what phone I should get next?
Thanks

...iphone?

Send your Kaiser "disaster" to me...

sell for parts, fit there is any parts left of it

The next phone i am getting is HTC_Raphael
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael
A few kaiser people move to HTC_Diamond
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Diamond
They are just about the same except
HTC_Diamond
4gd on board rom
no microsd slot
no keyboard
fm radio
480 x 640
HTC_Raphael
512mg rom
keyboard
micro sd slot
fm radio
480 x 640
HTC_Diamond is out but i think HTC_Raphael is coming out this month

too bad the rapheal looks really thick... but you are right about the kaiser being extremely delicate i have had a few problems also.

Sell it man, don't waste it on the wall. You can easily get a good amount for it broke. Lots of people would be willing to take the chance at fixing the keyboard. I did that with about three wizards and made a profit.

SHHH! Dang I was in talks of getting it from him for free.

iPhone would be nice, but you lose so much when going away from windows mobile. the xperia is looking pretty nice.

What are you people doing to these phones to make them "fragile"? Using them as hammers?
I'm not the "kindest" to my phone, screen isn't scratched, couple of dings where it was dropped from waist height, mostly to carpet, couple of times on concrete.
Tilt mechanism used 3-5 times a day and it's still as tight as can be.
I just can't figure out how people hose these phones.

I agree my phone is pretty durable. Climbing out of my SUV a couple times I've Hit my Holster and it released my phone and it fell to the parking lot. Still as strong as ever.

I dunno then maybe my phone fell off the aeroplane or something on the way to South-Africa lol, oh another problem I'm having with the phone, even though my signal strength is 100% etc. I'm hearing the other person loud and clear, but they can't hear me at all at times. I have to slap the phone every now and then and then they can hear me? I mean wtf.
This is the most problematic phone I've ever had. My phone barely has any scratches too, yeah, dropped it a few times, surprizingly I can almost see any scratches on it. There are absolutely no scratches to the touch screen.
I'm a business man, I need my phone 24/7, and it needs to be working 24/7. Like even if I shower, I put the phone about 2m away from the shower, just so that I can hear it, and last night my phone rang, I dried my hands, my hands were a lil wet, and I touched the phone to answer, and the whole keyboard/front buttons went completely bonkers after that.
Now my previous phone was completely splash proof (Nokia N80ie) and I have dropped that thing millions of times, and I've never had a days crap with it. Yeah after a while it looked like the phone just came out of world war 2, and yet it still grafted.
So ja..... my lil 2 cents

No disrespect intended, but that just got me laughing
Have fun with your new phone...

Hahaha, no worries bro.

Semi-related note: HTC Touch Pro is out today.
www.Handtech.co.uk definitely has them in and for less than £500.

Hmmmmm i dont know about delicate.....im not gentle what-so-ever and my kaiser has seen concrete pavement many a time..... Aside from the scratches on the case, it still works like new

I have a dead kaiser also, but mine was self destruction.
Work gave me the ****s, so I literally threw the phone as hard as I could on the floor.
I stayed in one piece, but was completely dead.
I have another one know, but I'm also starting to lose my patients with it.
Running Dutty's apr/29 rom.
My main problem with the kaiser is, no matter what rom, when it's time for some hardcore use, like making ****loads of calls, sending msgs etc.., it tends to fail at the most critical of times, and I have to soft reset with furious anger
Thats my main gripe with the phone.
The sad thing is, I have 4 more kaisers sitting here.
I think I'm gonna sell one for an iphone, and one more to get a touch pro.

Or you could just give them to me. I will use them for good, I promise.

I read these with amusement - because I do not have these problems.
Have you tried the ROM in my signature?

HTC Touch Pro or Sony Ericsson Xperia X1?

Guys I've been thinking about these two for a while now, and i can't decide on which to buy. They both are very alike.. which do you guys prefer? I really dont care too much for the RCA compatibility feature much.. I really like both phones styles though, the Xperia even looks a bit more flashy. Should I go ahead and buy the Touch Pro with the shorter wait? or should i wait for the Xperia with the longer wait? help me out guys, any input appreciated
HTC Touch Pro

SE Xperia X1

My wife is waiting for the Xperia. I think it will be well worth the wait!!!

It's impossible to judge the Xperia right now, it might be an amazing phone, or it might be a really dissapointing fudge of what's already available in the Touch Pro. If the TP doesn't make you want to run out and buy it now, I'd just wait and see, the price is only going to go down in the meantime. If the X1 turns out to be the second coming in mobile form, then you know what to do! If it doesn't, then you'll probably still have saved a little money on the TP, or possibly have something else more interesting on the horizon.
For me, the Touch Pro is nice but not a big enough upgrade from my Kaiser, and the X1 is just more of the same. I'm quite sure they'd both bore me within months, so I'm going to go for something completely different this time around (an Iphone) while keeping the trusty Kaiser in reserve.
Perhaps WM7, and some of the more impressive processors on the horizon, will tempt me back next year. For now, going from one Qualcomm powered HTC to another (in the shape of either the Touch Pro or the Xperia) just doesn't appeal.

does anyone know how good the camera is as far as fps for video capture or how quick the touchpro locks on gps?

I already don't like the surface buttons for the Xperia...imo.
Also the ui buttons are too plain. If I had the Xperia I'd look into skinning asap.

HTC TyTN III is the HTC Touch Pro

Did they actually make the screen smaller on the TP II

I don't think so
I think Touch series is different
There will be a TyTN III, but it's not TP
Just my opinion
TyTN III will tilt, will have more H/W buttons as the TyTN II and hopefully will have all TP's good stuff
Didn't even hear anything abt it or read abt it
Just my two cents

I'm getting the Touch Pro when it becomes available on AT&T. I just can't stand any of Sony's phones... such a goofy looking interface.

Anyone know how much AT&T are going to do them for?

The Tilt was $299 at launch, so I would guess the Touch Pro would be close to that.

Bought Tilt at release for $150 (brand new) with contract. They had a 3day sale or something like that.. additional 50% off.
I'd recommend people to wait for something similar for TP, or ask AT&T about that sale.

when alltheway says touchpro IS the tytn3 it means TP IS THE TYTN3..he knows lol... its been a year since it was released and thats how HTC does it..every year new model in that line... HTC just realized that the tilting aspect just wasnt worth it and dropped the idea. Seriously its a business class phone...people using this for their business arent after the tilting they are after funcionality so HTC made the touch pro as the tytn2's predecessor period

Well, I agree with you that ATW knows what he says
But, the tilting idea cannot be given up.
Well, no one can say that for sure but let's wait and see..
IMO, not a TyTN III
TyTN series (TyTN,TyTN II) never had flushed screens
Only Touch series has that (Touch, Cruise, Dual, Diamond, Pro)
Plus, TyTNs have always had alot of H/W button and that would've been one big essence lack if TP was the *TyTN III*
Let's just hope TyTN III comes next year
I hope I am right cause I absolutely loved the tilting screen

They're not giving up on tilting... that's what the X1 is for.

My Kaiser/Tilt from ebay (Are all Kaisers like this?)

Alright here are some key things I need to fix on my "excellent condition" kaiser..........
I apologize in advance as I need to vent a bit But any help/advice would be much appreciated.
1. Battery life is pretty bad, lets say if I leave just the screen on, it drains about 1-5% per minute. Meaning I have to keep it plugged in whenever I am not using it. (I have SPB Shell which is supposed to drain batteries a bit more... Can't be this bad though...)
2. Camera does not function whatsoever, all I get is a neat black screen with a laggy camera interface for some reason. (Previous owner flashed to WM 6.1, possible cause?)
3. I think I've had about three successful calls in around 2 weeks of using the phone, every other call it appears I have answered it, but I hear nothing and neither does the other person. At this point I reboot and try to call the person back, so I only use the Kaiser for texting. (Also due to the flash perhaps?)
4. No idea how to work the GSP, so far it only works when I have a wifi connection with google maps (no data plan) and when it does it only give me a very rough general location, basically it shows me that I'm somewhere in my neighbourhood. Don't know if there is a standard program included (without monthly fees) or I have to find 3rd party software, or pay monthly fees for the one included which I'm not going to do.
Other problems....
5. The sliding hinge is very loose, the gap between the screen and keyboard when slid closed is at least 1mm wide normally.
6. The tilting has a hard time staying tilted, I always keep a finger behind the screen and the back of the keyboard.
7. Dpad & face buttons are loose and can slide around a bit.
8. The screen orientation gets confused fairly often and stays in landscape mode, requiring reset.
9. The AT&T animated bootup logo is <expletive>. I reset the Kaiser very often from crashes, dead calls, wrong orientation, broken camera, and dead batteries and the bootup animation very cleverly include sounds so everyone around can hear me reboot my piece of <expletive> 7 times a day even though I have it set to mute.
10. I am very disapointed how MS still has such a hard time making a proper os suitible for a mobile phone and just how little they have improved since my old WM2003se phone and Dell Axim, they clearly have the most experience yet they still cannot see how lame their OS really is compared to the... sigh... iphone, get your act together MS... Please? Keep your superior compatibility and excellent user created/custom community but please, please, ditch the lame archaic UI, its that easy. The real problem I have is that even all the fancy mods in the world cannot hide how ugly and user unfriendly this windows mobile OS is, heres hoping WM7....
11. And I thought my HTC Magician was a large phone..........

You Poor Guy
Wow that sucks for you, sounds like not only did the flashing of the rom was bad or a bad rom(unfinished), and like the phone has been taken apart and was not put together correctly. My tilt is great I got WM6.5 and the new SBP Shell 3.0, No problems here at all. You need most likely depending on your experience is to take it apart and tighten all screws make sure the camera is plugged in and sound like the dpad buttons might need some super glue to hold the frame (of the buttons) to the case.
Then just go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
when your done go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378

Try a Hard Reset so you can start clean and go from there.
And remember

It sounds like the camera and call issue is caused by an incorrect ROM / raido match. Try flashing a new ROM and radio meant for eachother. For the loose parts, find a disassembly guide, A T5, T6, and 00 screwdriver and take the phone down so you can retighten the mechanism.

hmm thanks for all the help! looking at the rom/radio forum, how exactly do you decide which rom or radio to go with? seems like there are so many to choose from, I feel like such a noob even though I have flashed my ds and my old axim before i'm not entirely sure what these roms are, pre loaded/updated os's or something??
I agree though it looks like a bad rom/radio, Ill see what I can do about that and the loose parts...
Yeah this is the first time I got burnt with ebay, sucks cuz i had a few options but i went with the seller with the best communication as the others weren't replying, then i finally got a reply from a cheaper phone that seemed to be a much better choice hours later, after that i had a bad feeling and unfortunately it came true... oh well, this phone is a lot fatter and heavier than i hoped, i dunno i swore to get a smaller phone than my magician... meh either way i'll make do with what i have, sigh... thanks again.

New Member here, From edinburgh :D

Hello there guys, I searched the forum and can't find any section/topic/stickie for new members to introduce themselves so I thought I'd start a topic here saying hello.
Deed-elvis here, (AKA Laurence in Real life ), I currently possess an HTC kaiser, Which I've owned for 2 Years after buying brand new, As well as a recently acquired, second hand, Sony Experia X1. And what Started me rolling is a now defunct Imate Jam which kept ended up constantly Hard resetting itself. Currently I'm in between The X1 and the kaiser as my main phone of choice and The reasons for this will be made clear in the not to distant future on these boards
I've searched XDA Devs every so often for Little titbits here and there before, Like the slide2unlock app, And I also had the kaiser in bits not just once, but twice in order to replace the touchscreen. What Had happened was that I bought the device when it came out in 2007, however after flying back from Amsterdam to Scotland not long after I bought it, The Screen cracked & Expansys Weren't willing to replace under warranty . SO I kept the device as something of a Dust gathering paperweight whilst I reverted back to my Imate Jam. it wasn't until 4 months later I found that they were retailing appropriate screens on Ebay. Once i had the screen, I googled around Like crazy for methods of stripping down the kaiser. I found one and got to work:

The second time (around the end of last year) I slipped on a small rocky outcrop and my kaiser took a dent to it's front casing, afterwards, the Kaiser screen that I had replaced lost a bit of touch calibration as stylus taps were being recognised totally out of position. so I replaced it again.
Also the confidence from doing this has led me to "attack" other broken electronics. For Example, i had a Canon SD600 Point and shoot digital camera that I took on a ski holiday and cracked when I fell on my arse trying to look graceful on 2 planks ( it was in my back pocket), so without even a manual or even googling. I ordered the appropriate LCD screen and Went about replacing that as well:
And that now works too the experience with both of these has taught me a great deal about how modern Electronics are designed and put together
Also I realise that the Kaiser Has it's its issues with Image processing (AKA redundant graphics processor ) through HTCclassaction.org. but It was through there (and loads of movie format experimentation) that I managed to get wind of corecodec's coreplayer and turn it into a movie and podcast playing powerhouse with the added benefit of a 16GB microSDHC memory card (as well as an Audio adapter that can only be found on the far echelons of Amazon and Ebay, and not locally in the UK ) :
The Kaiser was, and still is, very good to me for reasons that I will go into in future postings where I will compare and contrast with the X1. I also intend to take the Kaiser on installing custom roms so I'm still doing a lot of reading on SPL's and hard resetting, I'm not gonna dive in and ask questions willy nilly without looking at or searching out stuff that's already been posted.
But currently, the Kaiser is in "rude" health

let me be the 1st
welcome

second! welcome nice post lol, ive changed my e65 (nokia) case.. you can find good videos about how to do it, its a really nice experience (if everything works offcourse XD)

Oi welcome here laddie!!! You certainly sem to kow your way around electronics. I too, am a huge Kaiser (TyTN II) fan. I have had mine for almost 2 years now. I still have my imate K-Jam (hence my nick) and my Nokia 3650. All three are in almost pristine condition because I am a stickler for looking after my thinng. I have always carried my phones in their cases etc.
Anyway, welcome again. This is an amazing forum full of very useful and interesting stuff. Some people here are geniuses and very helpful, and some, alas, are not so helpful. Some are downright rude, so just ignore those. There are enough of us here that are willing to help anyone without being nasty.
On a separate note, you are indeed very fortunate to live in Edinburgh. It is my dream to go to the Edinburgh Tattoo one day!!!
Regards,
MAC

Thanks for the welcome folks , here's to many more contributions between myself and these forums from now on

Back into the IT thing
Hi all,
Welcome Elvis! I just started today, after getting a tytn ii phone. I studied IT and worked with various computer businesses, way back in the day, about 9 years ago and made a career change... be a mum... so when I got this phone, it was... whoa, I have to remember all the programming, gadgetry, etc which I faintly remember from before. I use to program in C, but man, I need a revamp! This site is awesome, and I am just buzzing that there is such a community out there, supporting each other without any expectations (however, donations are a kind offer of your appreciation, and I support this whole heartedly, so when I get some money, I will donate as much as I can! for reals!!). Now thats cool! Once I get my game plan on, hopefully I can add something useful to this site.
Just wana say cheers to the xda team here, and all the contributors, its an ingenious and helpful site.
Bring down all the monopoly hoggers out there...
And to all the noobs in here (me included), dont give up.. its not rocket science, seek and you will find!
Take care and God bless yall.

Welcome
Awesome not replaced screen yet and am dreading it lol, mines got red specs where crack in screen but keeps soldiering on

Worst phone you've ever used?

Doesn't matter how old. What was the worst, and why?
For me:

The Ericsson A1018s.
Why?
For one simple reason - the keypad. Holy mother of all that is holy, the keypad on this phone SUCKED. It was virtually unusable, typing a message would take an eternity because the keypad felt cheap and awful and the input was SO SLOW it was unbearable. It'd take forever for characters to appear on the screen and half the time it wouldn't even recognize your touches. It was one of those scenarios where you would press the button harder and harder til your fingers bled even though it made no difference.
Thank god I don't think I actually owned this phone myself, believe it was my dads for a time who only used it for calls.
The aerial was probably the biggest I'd ever seen on a phone pre-2000, but was kinda cool. It had a sharp point at the bottom of the aerial if you removed it which you'd never get through airport customs in 2010.
This would have been a cool little mobile if it wasn't for the keypad. They even gave you 3 coloured clip-on fronts.
This phone was also called the 'coca cola' phone to some people as I believe Coke had a competition to win this phone on collecting a million ringpulls or something.
A girl I quite fancied bought one after her Motorola got stolen too, it took her years to reply to my texts which made it frustrating to flirt with her even though I had a usable handset myself! Very unfair!
So f**k this phone! What's your worst?

SmS2 ... coincidentally i happen to have used exactly this one...and it was also my Dads passed on to me when i came at the age of using mobile which was 18 yrs at that time ....
but considering the time it was launched..it was a nice phone... with some cool features..
One thing i still remember is that it had the option of switching to line 1 and line 2 even when their was one SIM slot...may be operators that time thought later on thay would provide this option on a single sim
Even the antenna used to work when we removed the extension and i the add on tacky Vibrator had to be purchased separately
Why i liked it...i cud be used as a brick at the time of emergencies

LOL - I kind of have a soft spot for it too. I like all of the oldskool GSM phones really, very durable and, well, phonelike! Motorola M3788 was my first, probably the easiest 0-9 keypad style phone for texting I ever had. Could never see myself going back to one of those though now I'm spoiled by Qwerty, Swype and the like.
Simpler times when the only worry you had was how the HELL you'd afford to keep the thing topped up. No worrying about compatibility, roms, OS's and all of the other stuff we've become accustomed to needing!
Wait a minute, I bought an HD2 for an easier life. BRB - checking my attic.

All my cellies b4 da G1 sucked lool. Specially maa Razr.

Luckyly I did not buyed and sold after 2 days usage

Really can't put into words how bad it was.....

iPhone or more like iPhail.....

for me - iphone

it was also the iphonie for me.

Reception was awful and it weighed a tonne!!

We still have one of those Ericsson A- series same one as the picture! All boxed with everything. Branded: BT CELLNET. But it doesnt work
