Hi Everyone,
My little brother's tilt has its data always coming on by itself all the time. I changed the settings with kaiser tweak to end after a minute and it doesnt stop it. Hopefully someone can help me out with this problem.
are you sure that absolutley no apps are running which may download data periodically?

Email, Weather, GPS aps, like Google Maps all access data connections. Change your email and weather notifications to update manually or any other app for that matter.
I use NoData. I've never had it to fail me.

I have noticed the following time related problem with my AT&T tilt. Yesterday, it was showing incorrect system time: approximately 2 hours 20 min off. I then synchronized it with my PC via active sync. Today it was 5 min off (compared to the same PC), which is too much for one day. I have searched the Internet to see if anybody has experienced a similar problem and could find only that similar things happen when you “lock” the phone – which I don’t do.
Does anyone know why this might happen and how to fix it? I am not sure if it is a software or a hardware problem, as I have installed some software on the phone.
Also, I was thinking to find a program that would run in the background and once in a while, say every 4 hours, would automatically sync time with the network time (I’d rather not use programs that sync time via internet) – could somebody provide a link to something like that?
i noticed the same thing. maybe its a problem with the network because don't these phones sync times to att? anyway i just changed it and it syncs with the time on my comp.

I have the same problem. What did you change? My TyTN II displays the wrong time, is there a setting to have the clock synched by GPS? Thanks!
There is an option in the Phone setting to sync the time from network, that fixes the whole problem of moving betweeen time zones and everything. Keeps my time accurate.

Thanks! That's the setting I had to DISABLE to keep my time accurate. The time on the network I'm on is off by 7 minutes, and that was driving me crazy.
weird thing happened to me today. the time at the top randomly changed from digital to analog! now i cant figure out how to change it back. i did a soft reset but it stayed the same. how do i change it back to the digital display? thanks.
edit: figured it out
Hi everybody,
I'm really struggling with the BBC for the Tilt. I would MUCH rather use ActiveSync, but it's against company policy so I'm SOL on that. I'm forced to either buy a Blackberry and give up my Tilt or install BBC. I chose the later.
I've been having problems with it ever since and I've had trouble finding resources to help out (mainly because most people don't use BBC on Tilt).
Here are the problems:
1. BBC often will randomly say "suspended by user" (even though I haven't), which prevents me from getting new messages, and unless I'm always looking to see if the service is running, I'll never know if I'm not getting email or if it suspended itself
2. BBC will just as often randomly say, "blocked - radio in use".
3. I can't get any integration going with the calendar at all. And when I receive calendar/meeting requests, it comes to the Tilt as email messages, not as meeting requests, so I can't accept them and add it to my calendar
Now, the limited amount of information I was able to find suggests that problem #2 may have something to do with interference with ActiveSync. I've tried the technique where I add a fake server source then make the schedule manual, but ActiveSync still won't go away permanently. I use it to access my Tilt files through Windows, so I can't uninstall it altogether. Also, when I tried to uninstall it before, it deleted all of my non-SIM contacts from the Tilt along with it, because all of my contacts were imported from Outlook.
Anybody have any ideas or solutions?
I think these are common issues, especially if you are using the Tilt on AT&T.
1) I'll go days without losing connection to blackberry services then it seems like it will lose it every night for 2 or 3 days. It may be related to activesync or it may be related to network issues. I always check the blackberry icon. If there's a "!" there, I know I need to reconnect.
2) At least with AT&T, you can only have one active data connection. Either it's the blackberry service or it's something else. The something else is active and keeping the blackberry service from connecting.
3) Check your pim options screen and make sure the calendar box is checked. If I remember correctly, when I first installed it was not checked by default. Contacts, tasks and notes are also configured in this screen.
You may have a point about activesync. I always kill it when I can but it auto starts. If I understand correctly, it is checking or setting the network time?

Yeah, that's what I usually have to do, but I hate that I have to do it - it defeats the purpose of push email if you have to always check to see if it's still pushing, lol.
People have recommended uninstalling ActiveSync when using BBC, but I can't possibly see how that's practical because I use ActiveSync to maintain my contacts and to add music and files to my Tilt. Is there some other way of doing this without using ActiveSync?

That's what I've read. But there have been times when I've done a Stop All on all services, and I still got a radio in use message. Strangely, there have been times when both ActiveSync and IE were running and I was able to get BBC running no problem. The inconsistency is maddening because it becomes impossible to isolate and cause and solve it.

Whatever is being maintained by ActiveSync (contacts) is greyed out on my Tilt, but everything else (calendar, notes and tasks) is checked, so I should be OK. But calendard items are still arriving in my inbox as regular email.

Interesting. I thought I was doing something wrong since people swear by that technique as a way to get ActiveSync to go away permanently. But it always comes back for me.
It says "radio in use" when Media.Net is active possibly through a IE or weather type program.
Some of the NEWER ROMS allow dual connections for BBConnect & Media.net. I saw a thread yesterday that showed the precise registry entry to make to allow this without burning a new ROM.
What thread was this? And when you say "newer ROMS" are you referring to official ROMs like the one on the HTC website or the XDA ROMs?
Demigawd,
Make sure the wireless calendar service (cical) is running properly. What version of bbc are you running? I'm running 4.0.0.97. It's behavior is a bit different than previous versions. It seems to block other data connections instead of bb getting blocked.
The only other suggestion I have is to remove and reinstall bbc. I would also have bes sync everything including contacts until you are sure calendaring is running correctly. If it's still not working correctly, maybe check your bes for a non-standard it policy.
I think the registry entry for multiple data apns is volatile and gets overwritten after every soft reset. A custom rom is probably the only way around that.
I have been running weather panel for about a month now, and suddenly within the last week or so, the updates have stopped working. no changes in ROM or Radio, and the issue wasn't concurrent with any software changes.
It will update fine if the wifi is on and connected, but it will not update if I am using the phone data connection. Any ideas?
For now, I just connect wifi a few times durring the day and manually run the update, but I would love to get the "every 30 minutes" update working again without leaving the wifi connection up all the time.

if you didn't change anything than that is sort of weird how it just stopped working. For me it started happening when i was flashing different roms.
Nonetheless check out the link for my 4shared account in my sig and under the cab folder download the htc home proxy patch cab and see if that solves your problem as i makes it update fine for me.
What carrier are you on? I'm on ATT and I had to change from Media Net to MyISP or whatever under connection settings in order to get the weather update to work. This was after applying the WM 6.1 update. It may be that AT&T has started blocking that functionality via the Medianet proxy.
Info I should have posted but didn't:
AT&T
Tilt Running Dutty's build 19209 6.1 ROM
Radio 1.64.08.21
Using the My isp connection settings
Again, wifi works, radio data connection doesn't. When on WP's about screen, with wifi connects and auths, with regular data connection, connection is ok, auth fails.
On other thing that needs to be made clear - I'm talking about weatherpanel the app from marsware, not the weather tab in the HTC home plugin.

No problem, once I realized you were talking about the HTC Home weather tab, I saw that I had not made it clear. Unless you used weather panel and knew what it was, it was easy to misunderstand what I meant.
WP Auth
I take it that you are using an updated version with the authorization fix in it because it sounds like you know what you are talking about. But ur issue must be rom related as I am using a tilt with stock rom and my WP is updating itself every hour and establishing its own connection. im still old school with storyr's chameleon theme and still loving it.

I do not use My ISP but it works fine on MediaNet. I am using the WP_Trial08_Fixed and have installed the modified dll and Weatherpanel fix cab for the hourly temp updates. I update every 30 minutes without issues. Do you have the "Establish Connection" checked in the Connections? I have also noticed that some of the themes have a sort of delayed update. The data downloads but only after you have activated the phone do you see a refresh of the data after about 10 - 15 seconds.

I don't think its the ROM as I have been using this ROM for well over a month and the not updating issue just started last week. I may do a hard reset and reinstall and see if that gets it going again.

Yep, establish connection is checked. Its not a delay issue either, it works solidly on wifi, but with wifi off (using the phone data connection) it fails completely. Like I said above, I think I may hard reset and see if that fixes it. I was just looking to see if this had happened to anyone else and/or if it was a known issue with a simple fix.
Well, Hard reset didn't work, still wouldn't authenticate over the phone data connection. I finally got tired of messing with it, and just set it to authenticate itsself.
http://pixel.citadel.org/weatherpanel/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=337
This seems to have fixed the problem, I figure the battery drain for the http server is probably offset by the savings for not having to transmit the auth. I'll watch battery drain and system speed over the next few days.
I recently installed SPB GPRS monitor as I found I was using up quite a lot of data each month on GPRS downloads.
I checked the report today and found that my Diamond had received 450kb of data between 2-3am this morning...whilst I was asleep...WTF???
What is frustrating is that I have wi-fi at home and any data downloads should be using that instead.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can find out what app(s) is using grps? I have checked the usual suspects such as weather, GPSfix, etc which are all set to manual updates. I also didn't have any other apps running at the time.
The problem is a moot one as I recently changed my data bundle with Orange so I'm unlikely to exceed my new limit, however it would be nice to know. I've also just downloaded NODATA which might also solve the problem.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Hi!
First you should try NoData. That little program help me to save money. You only enable data connection you use. NoData doesn't handle the WiFi connection, it only handle "dial in networks".
Which application use the GPRS Connection? There are a lot of applications. I think it could be the daily wheather forecast download.
CU, dc7os
I would be curious to know myself. I got my phone in the evening and started an unlimited data plan for it the next morning when AT&T call centers opened up. I did very little with the phone that evening, plugged it in, swiped around tf3d a little bit and thats about it. I didnt actually go on the internet and browse, download videos, or anything else that would seemingly account for the 4500 kilibytes of data it downloaded on its own hook that night. To the tune of 50 dollars as it was not covered by my data plan which wouldnt start till the next day. I called customer service when the bill came and they immedietly offered to throw the charge out. Score one for the often maligned AT&T customer service. Im now covered under unlimited data but I still wouldnt mind knowing which program is going out on the town and partying at night.
BUMP.
After a bit of investigation, I think the culprit might have been the RSS Reader application which was set on auto-updates. Although why it used GPRS and not the wi-fi I'll never know.
Anyway, NODATA is great and is really helping.
My phone is pissing me off for some mysterious reason the internet connection keeps turning on . i want to know if there is some setting in the phone where i can make it so that it never dials a internet connection ever ever ever. but i still want wifi to work. help me out if you knw what i am going thru. prbly gonna get a mad bill this month
Did you search for this? IT's like the first app ever made for this phone.
You want to look at Kaiser Tweak:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349009
Another option could be GB Soft Tweak:
http://gb-soft.cz/xdaii/product_gprs...61_diamond.htm
Never had a problem with Kaiser connecting without me wanting it to !
I use GB Soft Tweak as I like the option of instant time-out disconnect (something those useless Tw*ts at WM HQ should of thought of by now !)
Check your email account settings & any other app that uses connection.
Uhhh.... like.... NoData ?
google plz?
