Kaiser II / AT&T Tilt problem

Hi. I am a new owner of the AT&T Tilt, so I was messing around with a few cool new features. I installed the HTC Home Plugin and the HTC Default Theme, which looked really nice. After I installed these, things began going crazy. When I had them installed, the screen would not turn back on after going blank, so I would have to remove the battery and then reboot it again. When it loaded back up, I tried to manually power it off via the power button on the side. INstead of powering off, it would freeze. Sucks, I know...
So I finally decided to remove both the plugin and the default screen, as I figured it would send things back to normal. It didn't. When it was all removed, I tried to slide the phone open, but the screen did not automatically switch to landscape view. So I tried to power it off, and it acted as if it was continually loading something and refused to turn off.
This is very furstrating... Do any of you all know what to do?
Thanks.

Try a soft reset and if that doesn't work, back up any data you don't want to lose and then try a hard reset. This will bring you back to factory settings but you lose all your data and added programs.
I have both those things on my Tilt and have not had that happen. Any other third party software it could be reacting with?

Not that I know of. I installed TomTom6 on there, but I had that for several hours prior to putting the two other programs on there and it worked just fine. Is there a way to do a hard reset before the phone turns on fully? Because once it turns on, I am very limited as to what I can do...

Yes.
Put your stylus into the reset hole (just above and to the right of the USB port) and hold both soft keys at the same time (next to the green and red phone buttons).

Hm.. Strange thing happened. I simply held the two soft keys at start up and it seems to have reset the whole thing. Did I do this correctly or should I redo it?

hmm i don't think so you did a hard reset than buddy. Hard reset is holding the two soft keys and than inserting stylus into soft reset hole on bottom of phone. Doing this brings you to a white screen with a warning in blue that basically tells you all data will be erased to proceed hit the send button .. and once you hit send (green button) than it starts the hard reset and once it finishes it asks you to hit the send button again to reboot the phone.

Yeah. STrangely enough, it didn't warn me of any of that. It simply took a while to boot up from the AT&T screen and when it did, all of the stuff that I had installed was gone...

Another question..
Okay, so after about seven attempts, I finally got the hard reset to work properly. Now that everything is back to it's manufacture settings, I would like to update the plain jane look of it. I know this may sound utterly stupid, but can anyone tell me exactly how to install the HTC Plugin along with the HTC Default theme and Customizer? (If links can be provided as to the correct download site, it would be greatly appreciated as well.)
The last time I thought I installed these correctly, my phone went crazy...
Thanks guys.
P.S. TomTom 6 would not have an affect on my phone.. would it?
Thanks again!

no tomtom6 will not affect your phone, I have used it for months with HTC home plugin, didn't have an issue with my tilt. I hope that helps. I don't quite understand what you want to do with the customizer maybe someone else can help ya with that.
Good luck on your new phone.

Go here, down load HTC Home plugin and Home Customizer again.
Remember to soft reset after installing (no soft keys just stylus in the reset hole) Go to start>settings>today>items,check HTC Home. And you should be good to go.
If not , now you know how to hard reset and start again.

Alright! Thanks a lot!
I'll keep you informed as to how it goes! Thanks again!

Ah! Thanks! It works flawlessly now!

Juuust kidding...
I don't know what it is, but it worked just fine for a while.
Now, whenever I tap the power button on the side to turn the screen off, I can not get it to turn back on.
Why?

Help

Okay, so my phone is going crazy and it's really aggravating me! It worked fine for two days, but all of a sudden, when I tried to add a picture to my contacts, my phone began to frustrate the crap out of me!
So this is what happens.. When I hit the power button on the side to black out the screen or when it simply times out, the phone pretty much remains on, but I can not get the screen back on. Other times, when I boot the phone the backlight will fail to turn on and the phone won't even switch to landscape when I slide the phone open..
WHY?!?! I have the HTC Plugin installed with HTC Customizer and TomTom 6.. What is the deal?!

That does seem pretty strange. You weren't messing with the registry at all before that happened? Did you try soft reseting the device? (you probably did) If you have been adding and deleting a lot of cabs, apps and such lately then you may have to hard reset and start clean. If you do have to, don't forget to copy your pim.vol file over to your card for replacement after reset. Hopefully it won't come to a hard reset though. Good Luck, Kevin

Ah. I've already hard reset the phone twice...
I don't understand it.. It seems really quite ridiculous.. Could it be a hardware problem?

ATT TILT problem not loading

Hi
I have ATT TILT just updated to 6.1 and was working normally but after I installed HTC home customize it rebooted and since that it reboots itself few times and than just loads to home screen where is only is start calendar and contacts visible on the screen and none of buttons are not doing anything! not able to call or receive calls too. I cant navigate to settings to do hard reset. is there any other way to do hard reset, like combination of few buttons or anything? oh and when I connect to PC it could not be detected too. pls help thanks.

hard reset by presses both soft keys and inserting the stylus in the reset hole at the same time. Hope that helps....

take a look at the picture and put the stylus in the reset hole and while you are pressing both keys, you push the stylus in the hole. You will get a grayish screen telling you if you want to hard reset and you will press the green phone button. It might take a few times in case you have fat fingers...
or go here:

I'm doing exactly as u say but it just reboots no hard rest is happening

keep trying....First time I tried it, it took 6 tries because my fingers kept touching other keys....Patience is the key....I think....

stuck on green windows screen..

I've had a quick look round the forums but cant find a definitive answer really...
Last night i got my diamond out, and it was turned off completely (not standby) for some reason. When i turned it back on it got stuck at the green windows screen with the rotating loading icon, which then also stopped. At that point it wouldnt do anything and just stopped with the backlight staying on.
I tried removing the battery, the sim, doing several hard resets, still no joy. Eventually i left it with the green screen on for about an hour, reset it, and eventually it came back on.
Anyone any ideas whats happened? Obviously i'm keen to safeguard this from happening next time (i've only had the phone a week).
I've currently got installed the following...
LEM's Trackme.
Memory Map Pocket Nav
Microsoft .net 3.5 (for trackme)
Naviter Seeyou
PHM registry editor
Gsen
sql server (for trackme)
Sensor lock
tomtom7
diamond hacks

Exchange...
Personally, if I'd only had my device a week, I would be straight in the shop for an exchange... that's assuming you haven't been messing with ROM upgrades, etc!

nope no roms, just apps installed..
it was bought from mobiles.co.uk , so a bit more difficult than just popping back to the shop plus my number is due to transfer to it tommorow, so i'm waiting until after that.
Basically, i was just wondering if the green screen halt is a common occurrence.

Hmm
Does it show the green screen after you hard reset it? Maybe a faulty .cab in your programs (I know it sounds stupid) is crashing at startup. Try a hard reset and installing one by one?

If I were you, I would use the hard-reset the phone and use it as is for about a month. If all goes well, I would gradually add programs one at a time. At least that would tell me if the phone itself is OK and if the problem may be due to 3rd parties apps.

ah okay thanks.. i tried pressing the red reset button under the cover but that didnt do anything (apart from restart the phone). I assume a hard reset is done some other way?
I'va also uninstalled some surplus apps, such as the sql server, trackme and naviter seeyou.

press voldown and the center button, and soft reset at the same time. then you'll hard reset

What you are thinking is a hard reset, is really a soft reset. A hard reset completely erases everything on your phone and restores it to default. A soft reset just restarts the phone (like the restart button on the computer).
**Remember that a hard reset resets everything so back up files if you need to.

help with problem

hi guyz
ive a AT&T Tilt (Kaiser 100). so ive flashed my kaiser loads of times no problem was running great until now when i unlocked it the PPT button and call program open up themselves and some ramdon keys such as E,D,C,etc are pressed!!
also the slide keypad stops responding but the lights are still on for it. the navigational buttons on screen side stop working and the start menu opens up by pressing the button in the middle of navigational buttons!! rest of the keys dont work. power and camera keys still work!
i gave my phone a rest for 4 hours and when i turned it on it started working fine and then again after 5 minutes of use same problem. sometimes in the middle of use it automatically starts working again fine and then same problem comes and this keeps going on!!!
one of my workers at the office mishandled my phone (i think) he couldn't figure out how to slide open the phone and tried everything
so i cant rule out if its hardware or software problem???
please help!!

Hard reset your device and see if that solves the problem.

Because sometimes...well most of the times, with a help thread request like yours are solved with a hard reset . Going by the book...(oohh and it was late last night by the way )
On another note, seems like your friend did mess some of your keys and probably hardware issue. Try and mess with some keys and see if they are not stuck.

In most situations it quicker and easier to reset the phone. Just thnk about it, you don't have the original OS to repair with and you don't really have a method of sending commands to the phone.
