Ever since upgrading to WM 6.1, I've had a number of issues with my Tilt. I can't receive MMS, I can't play Xvid videos (with TCPMP or TCMP), and my GPS signal takes longer to lock. This is a whole lot to give up for just threaded SMS (I haven't really seen anything else that's improved).
Is there any where I can get WM 6.0 reset, or a at least a lead on how to fix these issues (att mms settings cab didn't work, changing the default proxy settings didn't work for mms either).

If you do a google search for ATT MMs settings, one of the sites is directly from ATT Support and resolved my issue. It sounds like your rom came with a new radio, try flashing 1.65.24.36 as your radio. made a hell of a difference all around for my phone, especially for my GPS
Yes one of the things AT&T recently changed is you not longer need the [email protected] username and CINGULAR1 password for their MMS. Also if it is set to proxy through wap.cingular turn that off as well and make sure you turn on IP Header compression

I've actually spent hours on the phone with ATT support and we still haven't been able to resolve the issue. Something about when I turn the phone off, the settings end up going back to default (with the username and password to log for MMS.

I'm an extreme newbie. Where would I get the radio? How would I flash it? Just like the Roms?
Also, any idea on what's going on with the ability to play divx movies? TCPMP and TCMP have the same issue. They display the first few frames and then it freezes. The sound plays just fine, though.

If the settings keep resetting then I would suggest flshing a your rom again or try a new rom. Go to the Kaiser Rom Development forum under kaiser and you will find all the wiki's your little heart could desire including radios, flashing, and all the good stuff that comes with modifying your phone. I would try coreplayer to play your movies, I find TCMP as primitive and unreliable.

I love the TyTN II phone, but as a new user of the phone and to this forum, I have found quite a few little quirks so far.
1) The first was the issue I posted regarding the sent emails not being stored in the sent folder if you use IMAP settings. This issue is still unresolved. I assume no one has a resolution for this?
2) The next quirk, has to do with the vibrate ring profile. Two issues I have encountered. (a) When you receive an email or sms and have the phone on the vibrate profile, sometimes, the vibrating wont stop and will consistently vibrate until you check the phone. (b) Sometimes the phone freezes completely on the vibrate setting to the point where the only way to restart it is to take the battery out. Any solutions or advice for both (a) and (b)?
3) I think this is a common issue based on the posts, but getting WMV files to play smoothly. I have tried the built in Windows Media Player and Coreplayer but it is still quite choppy. I assume that this is related to the drivers and we may expect an update from HTC later this month?
4) I have installed the recommended HTC camera and picture viewing software as suggested by this forum, however, every now and then when you take a picture and go to view it, the picture is actually corrupted and cannot be viewed on the phone or on my PC. I currently automatically store camera pics on my microSD card. This happens only every now and then. Any solutions?
5) This is not necessarily a TyTN II issue. I have downloaded the latest version of Opera Web browser and installed the latest adobe flash player. However, I still cannot view flash files. Does anyone know where exactly the "flash.dll" file needs to be copied to in order to view flash through Opera? I have tried the Opera folder in programs and also the Opera folder in applications with no success. I currently have Opera stored on my microSD card.
I think that this covers all my issues within the 3 weeks that I have had the phone. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I will try and answer the questions that I think I know answers to.

I had my phone freezing periodically on the original AT&T ROM and upgraded recently to the February AT&T Rom and have not had a lockup since. The only NEW issue is that 5 seconds after you start a call your phone goes black no matter what your registry setting is set to.
3) I think this is a common issue based on the posts, but getting WMV files to play smoothly. I have tried the built in Windows Media Player and Coreplayer but it is still quite choppy. I assume that this is related to the drivers and we may expect an update from HTC later this month?
I have music files that I play all the time - I have a 4 gig card and have hundreds of files and they all play flawlessly with no skips or jumps or hesitation. I use a 64000 bit rate? What ROM are you using?

1) sent emails not being stored in the sent folder if you use IMAP settings.
Check MENU>MANAGE FOLDERS and make sure you are syncing your Sent Items folder.
2) (a) When you receive an email or sms vibrating wont stop (b) phone freezes vibrate setting
I have not experienced this.
3) WMV files to play smoothly
As indicated above, this is usually a bitrate issue. Please indicate the bitrate used in the files that are causing problems. The WMV format is native and plays well if there's enough CPU for the bitrate. I do not anticipate improvement in this area from the forthcoming video drivers.
4) HTC camera picture is actually corrupted
I do not experience this using the orginal ATT roms with camera version 4.02 bld 28288
I have the latest ROM available for my TyTn II phone 1.81.861.0 WWE.
Music files play fine, but it's the video files that are all jaggie. Its bitrate is 504 Kbit I think.
Regarding sent emails, no settings on the phone make a difference. All settings advised have been checked and none resolve this issue.
So I'd like to flash a cooked ROM on to my Tilt, but I'd like to keep the functionality of BlackBerry Connect for work, which ROM will do this? My other concern is that I hear there is a way to hack the phone that will let me have BBC and MediaNet running at the same time as necessary, the whole disconnect this to get to that and vice versa has been my main annoyance with BBC because I can't get my IMAP mail when BBC is running.
I have run Blackberry Connect successfully with every ROM I've flashed. Specifically
Dutty's 04/29
L26 v4
currently Death v3
You have to edit the registry setting for aku to .0.4.2
also , most ROMs will turn on the screen when receiving an email... which drains the batery....the L26 ROM does not, however, it has issues holding connectivity to all AT&T settings and I gave up on it.
The Death v3 ROM is what I'm running now - it's very fast and does not crash on me...but it does suffer from 'screen on when email receipt"

From what I've been able to determine, this is a fault of BBC rather than the ROM. I went backwards one step and don't have that problem any more. I really didn't see a difference between the 2 BBC versions except the dreaded screen on email receipt.

Sounds good, I usually read the emails as they arrive since I work in IT so I'll think of it as an accidental blessing. But what about multiple data connections. Having to suspend BBC has been getting on my nerves for a while now. :/
No one has answer?

WM6.1 allows muliple simultaneous data connections. This is nice when you have BBC running and another app like Weather Panel that relies on internet updates.
u have to flash a rom that has the modification made in the provisioning xml document. it is not cuz of wm6.1 but rather the change for vpns has to be cooked in.
search the rom dev forum.
Death v3.5, and Dutty's 04/29 all do simultaneous data for me Laurentius L26 v4 did also but it was very flaky .. lots of "answering modem has disconnected" type messages I gave up on it

OK, so then I could just download my cooked ROM of choice and make that edit before I flash my Tilt? Sounds simple enough. Thanks!
Thanks for everyone's help. I loaded up Death's 3.5 and it's working as I hoped. 2 simultaneous connections and it seems to be working great!
Twinpeaks, my device doesn't turn on when I get mail, so maybe I'm lucky?
I have worked in IT support for 8 years at the desktop support level. I dont understand all but can usually figure things out. I apologies in advance for being a rookie. I am frustrated with this device and need help!!
I upgraded ATT tilt to Dutty 6.1 Build 19700.duttys 6.1 about 1 month ago and Since I did this I have had a lot of problems. Build has all the goodies and more but since the upgrade I cant get any work done because I am always tweaking in an attempt to get the device working properly. I have tried to reset and reflash sevral times to start all over again but I end up with the same issues.
1. Unable to sync with active sync. I have disabled avast anti and I still am unable to sync. I also added port 990 to firewall and no good. I have re-installed active Sync 5 times. It only works when I play with it and then the device does not stay connected. It boots the connection 1 or 2 minutes after sync
2. No email apps or programs work. I tried the java versions and all. Messaging says error synchronizing and gives this message - "cannot cannect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap settings" My settings are OK as far as I can see. I purposely connect to media net before opening email to make sure the data connection is present. I had full blown HSDPA in NY city yesterday and no email or GPS working.
3. GPS and GPS upgrade is not working. Does GPS use its own radio? Does dutty upgrade break the radio? Not sure what is happening here as well.
4. No you tube video as usual. This has always been broken and remains broken for me. I tried installing flash bundle, codecs, etc.... No good.
I constantly get prompted the below
"cannot cannect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap settings"
Only thing that works is web browser.
Can someone please point me to a good solid working and mostly complete ROM for the US att tilt "kaiser". Maybe this is all I need. I have trouble finding ROM info and whether its current via the site. It gets confusing and I just want to set up once and forget, if you know what I mean. Please provide any links I might need to a fix, rom, tweak, etc..
Please help!
Steve
Steve, I updated to Dutty's ROM a while ago and all worked well until about a couple of weeks ago. I do not attribute my problems to the ROM though but rather the Tilt itself. My first issue was related to no activesync connectivity. My Tilt became an "unknown" device. Looking at my USB port from inside of the battery compartment notice bent pins. I was able to straighten the pins out but only could connect with one of about 10 USB cables that I had around. Once you have loaded Dutty's room I would recommend reconfiguring your connectivity to AT&T. You can download a CAB with all of the configuration setting on this board. Recently my touch screen would freeze up and not work well. I thought it might be the ROM but later found out there must have been some physical problem. Two days ago I called ATT and RMA'd my phone. I recieved the new phone yesterday and configured it last night. All is working well (USB and Touchscreen, new ROM, New SPL and new radio).
BTW last night saw (do a google search - I don't remember where I saw it) a revised video / flash version of TCXXXX software. With Dutty's ROM (and current) my GPS worked great. I use it with a couple of test GPS programs and TomTom on Com4. I also have an external BT GPS and it works well with that. Check to make sure your email is not configured for a proxy or local network connection.
Pete
Thanks Pete, Since this post I have gotten the GPS to work. There is a GPS app in programs\tools that has an enable option. I stumbled across it looking for answers. Ill check the pins on my cable as well.
Dutty's connections wizard actually had the wrong info for ATT america. I had to remove ID and password to get it working for Media Net so I hope the cab you reference is a newer one than is on my tilt.
I am still getting the same message for email. "cannot cannect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings tap settings"
I have to be missing something in the connection settings. I will try the cab, maybe it has been updated since Dutty's build.
Can you think of any thing in the connection settings?? Opera works but email gets error and message to check connections.
Ill let you know how that works.
Here are the essential 3 cab files you need for your Tilt.
1) fixes keyboard
-Install, soft reset, done
2) Sets At&t settings
-install, set up email but do not save your password
then do this
start>settings>connections>connections>advanced>select networks>change both drop downs to media net>click edit on both drop downs and go to proxy settings here you will uncheck everything. remember to do it to both dropdowns.
3) removes hidden proxy (which will allow your email to work if you are using a saved password)
-install, then go to your email set up and save your password.
edit: This will also allow you to update htc weather, quickgps, and a number of other programs without receiving errors.
good luck and have a nice day
Hi,
I try to use skype under WIFI/UMTS/HSDPA, but I hear one word on three/four...I thought it was a Windows Mobile Software block but it is not (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474370), I thought it was a carrier lock, but it is not. I tried a Toshiba g900 (wich is slower than Kaiser) with the same carrier and Skype works very very well, have you ever tried Skype with the Kaiser? I have the lastest Hyper Dragon ROM but it is not a ROM issue because it did not work even with its original rom and radio rom, this thing is driving me crazy! I made tests just after an hard reset and with wifi, so it is not a network issue but a device problem, how can I check if everything is ok? Maybe a benchmark to test CPU? Or what else?
I've never been able to run Skype smoothly on the Kaiser regardless of ROM. It's just too slow.
Not happening here. Running Skype 2.5 on WM 6.0 original ROM or WM 6.1 3.02 and it works fine. Just did a test call while connected to WiFi and the voice quality is great.
What's the difference between us? Different Kaiser Model? Wrong radio version? Wrong what? Why me and kilrah cannot use skype smoothly and vcespon can? Someone tells that his KAiser is fast in opening apps etc. but mine it is not fast even to open the start menu...I want to go deeper in this, what can I do to know if our Kaiser has some problems?
Mine is pretty fast doing everything, just skype will always skip very badly, regardless of version. It'll miss sound bits here and there, sometimes even blank completely for several seconds. That is, totally unusable except just for text chat.

Could you say more? We must solve it
ROM and radio firmware version can make a lot of difference. WiFi performance / RAM available. After trying dozens of ROMs for months, I only use the original WM 6.0 with 1.27.15.32 radio, or the official 3.02 with 1.58.26.20.
WiFi connection works OK for me even in "best battery" setting. I've been streaming music from shoutcast.com for half an hour without problems.
Skype 2.5 does not seem to have any problem with a test call, I have not tested it on long conversations, thoug.
Hmm actually I forgot about that setting, with WiFi on "Best Performance" a test call works fine. I was usually on "Best Battery".
Just need not to be doing other things on the phone at the same time. Can forget about using BT headset as well.
Hi everyone
my first post, I have a problem with my Diamond on Orange.
My data connection seems to lock out if I have been in an area of low coverage this results in not being able to connect to my Gmail account using the email function of the phone.
I have downloaded and installed the wm 6.1 patch for fixing corrupt email account. The workaround now though is when it still locks me out of using my data connection I have to reboot the phone.
I have also installed the official new rom from the Orange site, can't access the HTC site ROMs as my device serial code is linked to Orange
It's very frustrating having to reboot your phone 6 times a day (my office is in a low coverage area)
also since last week the phone makes no sound for SMS, MMS, calendar reminders etc. I have checked the sounds associated with these events and they play ok when you click to test them but not when an SMS etc arrives
please help, I'm locked in to this phone till next Aug
Thanks in advance
Steve
Try this...
Rather than rebooting your device, have you tried going to the settings tab on TF3D, selecting communications and tap the 'Data Connection' setting? I'm not sure about the stock Orange ROM, it may not have the option to switch the data connection on and off. If it hasn't, try turning Airplane mode on then off again. Your connection should then be re-established.
As for your sound issue... make sure you have the check box selected for 'Events'. Go to Settings / Personal / Sounds & Notifications and check the top most box
Thanks for the info Graham.
I can confirm that the box 'Events (warnings, system events)' is checked but still no sounds on sms, calendar event etc
not sure where I find the settings tab on TF3D but can try the airplane mode tomorrow at work were I have the low coverage issue.
Thanks for taking the time to give the advice.
Is there a new rom out there I could install as a permanent fix for the data issue?
Thanks
Steve
Mmmm...
Not sure whether a ROM change will cure your problems. It may just be related to your carrier (Orange). I've tried numerous ROM's and radios, but never had an issue with the data. You could try flashing a different radio. Do you know what version your device is running now?
If you look here, you'll find all the various radios available. I'd definitely start with a radio change before flashing ROM's if you're happy with your Orange ROM that is
Hi
The Radio is 1.00.25.05, (ROM is 1.93.405.1 WWE)
are these any good ones or should I update to a new Radio
Thanks again
Steve
Mmmm...
That's what I thought... both the ROM and Radio version are very old (by XDA standards!). I would certainly upgrade your radio, if not the ROM as well. Make sure you upgrade the HardSPL first though or you'll end up with a nice paper weight!
Follow this tutorial to the letter and you'll be fine. That's all I did. Most of the custom ROM's here don't include a Radio, so you'll need to upgrade that seperately. It's all in the guide. If you've already upgraded the SPL, you can go ahead and flash a ROM / Radio.
The ROM I'm using is Gen.Y D2 R4.2 which you'll find in the ROM section along with a host of others. In my opinion, it's the best by far
Thanks Graham will read all the info and give it a go
Steve
Hi
Managed to get radio 1.13.25.24 on but can't find a live link for ROM Y D2 R4.2
any chance you could post one for me
Many thanks for all the help up to now, I'm realy looking forward to my Diamond working like it should
Thanks
Steve
Link...
Hi. The download links are halfway down Post #2 of the ROM thread... CLICK HERE
Hi
Thanks for all your help. I am now running on radio 1.13.25.24 and ROM Y D2 R4.2
Early days but there is defiantly some improvement in data connection/reception but I am still getting the issue where the data connection corrupts and won't connect even when full network coverage is restored.
Thanks for the workaround suggestion re turning airplane mode on then off this does work and negates having to re-boot.
Is there any way I can overcome the basic issue re the data connection corrupting in low coverage areas?
Is a radio available that will up the coverage even more, battery life is not important to me?
Thanks again
Steve
Tip...
Another way, which may be quicker. On the settings tab in TF3D, tap connections and you should have a 'Data Connection' option. If you switch this off to disconnect your GSM data connection, the next time your device needs to connect it will re-establish the connection. This doesn't help with your issue, but it is quicker than turning Airplane mode on and off.
It might be worth posting in the Radio thread to see if anyone has experienced this on Orange and found a workaround. Like I said, I've not experienced data issues like this, so I can't really help. You've changed your ROM and your Radio, so it seems it's not ROM or Radio specific... it does seem to point to carrier??
Hi Graham
I’ve spent some time getting used to the new ROM, it seems to be a big improvement over the standard Orange one and I do occasionally get a data connection in my office which is unusual. I think what I really need is some sort of signal booster stuck to the window.
One thing I notice with the new ROM is a lack of a calculator; can I add this on in some way?
Thanks
Steve
