What are some of the 1st things i should do to my phone after getting it out of the box?
Turn it on.
Flash that silly ATT&T software off there! There are several good roms out there, have fun!
Download and read instruction manual.
Then read the XDA Kaiser wiki.
Ok it's on now!
I like the HTC look, and i see a bunch of different ROM's all saying they are HTC. I just want the original HTC look for now.
Figure out what you want out of the phone.
read the first 300-400 threads in this forum and the next one down.
install, tweak, play.
buy a micro sd card for it
I'll start with a few recommendations for you:
Pick a rom and install it. I did BigStorage
install a few programs: total commander, pocketnester+roms, Mame emu megace3, tomtom with my working cab listed in another thread, tomtom maps, vibra switch, tcpmp + flv
back it up with sprite backup to the card
enter your contacts
sync it to a PC
The first thing you should do is NOT ask questions on the boards. You will inevitably get told to use the search function, which will dependably not return what you are looking for, unless you use the advanced search to narrow your fields and then it will return nothing.
search works just fine if you know what to search for

Yesterday I was looking for a new comm manager for my kaiser. I entered "Kaiser comm manager" into search. That's pretty straight forward right? The first 5 results are about, in order: ROM, ROM, ROM, Hard SPL, ROM.
If you want to search the xda forums, you should definitely use the google search.
Do a hard reset & then when the "installing at&t customizations" pops up, do a soft reset and kill the at&t crap that gets installed.
Day 2
I successfully have removed the AT&T ROM and added a couple of the custom ROM's here at XDA to my device. Some have been a bit buggy, I cant wait to see what the future holds for this device. Has anyone looked into Threading SMS?
Update: I'm holding off on updating the Tilt wiki for a while, because these seem to be issues rather than things we can really sort and alphabetize at this current time (and I suck at coding/formatting, period). If someone would like to suggest a potential setup for the Tilt section in the Wiki, please let me know.
I limited this to address nothing but Tilt questions that seem to come up waaaay too often…

Well, you can flash your Tilt with an HTC ROM which will fix it instantly, or try to read through this (reading = pain in the ass) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334759&highlight=ptt+button
How do I SIM (subsidy) unlock my Tilt?
Assuming the phone was obtained though ATT legitimately (i.e. you have a contract with ATT): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335392&highlight=sim+unlock (if you’re a long-time ATT customer this is Guaranteed to work)
Assuming you stole/bought the Tilt on eBay: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314547&highlight=sim+unlock (thanks tupisdin for doing this)
How do I get all the crap (bloatware) off my Tilt without flashing it?
Soft-reset (take the battery out) upon initial configuration (the part when is says “Windows will begin customization in x seconds”). If you’re past this point, do a hard reset (press both soft-keys at the same time and simultaneously insert your stylus into the bottom reset hole), and then do the soft reset thing upon configuration.
Where do I get the ATT/Cingular cabs for my Tilt so I can load tons of bloatware on my speedy HTC ROM?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438 (#34)
Why won’t TomTom Navigator 6 (that I got off of forums/internet) not work on my Tilt?
Because it was made for the Kaiser ROM as a “taster version”…If you want it, buy it…support good products.
Update: The mods ruling on this is that any other version than the TomTom "Taster" version that came with the HTC ROM is considered Warez, so please don't post. This also goes for where to obtain TomTom maps (without buying them), etc.
Do I need a tethering plan with AT&T to tether my Tilt with my laptop?
HELL NO…just don’t download too much or you WILL get caught and be struck by the long arm of AT&T’s “excess data” charges http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336429&highlight=tether
I have problems getting cool stuff like streaming media (videos, internet radio, etc) and YouTube mobile to work on my Tilt with an HTC ROM on it?
Go to Settings, Connections Tab Connections I forget exactly where it is (hopefully someone can give some input) cause I got rid of mine, but just make sure you uncheck the box that says “my server uses a proxy to connect to the internet” and it should all work fine.

I flashed my Tilt with an HTC ROM and now it freezes up a lot, how can I fix this?
You need to do a Clear Storage. Known issues causing freeze-ups at this time include have PIE save your temp cache to storage card, using some versions of the HTCHome plugin, and older versions of BlackBerry Connect. Issues outlined here:

How do I disable the TouchFlo "clicking sound" on my Tilt?
Edit the registry setting:
HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\EnableSound
disabled = 1

You need a mobile registry editor to do this:
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation
just set the "enabled" value to 0 and that will get rid of THE most annoying startup animation/sound ever (thanks to myself)

Update: How do I make my Tilt look like an iPhone?
Find the closest building that is three or more stories tall, get to the roof, and jump off.
-that would make sense if most new users in the forum actually read the wiki, which they usually dont...also, the Tilt is going to be the most popular variand of the tytn II for a while, thats just a fact of life because of the amazingly low price you can get it from with AT&T.
I think everyone's made there point, so whether there is a sticky or not, it doesn't make any differences, for all the forums that I been in, I have noticed that new members never follows the rules, they will just post everywhere, they cannot be bothered to search first.
the way I see it, just have a mod to delete all duplicate thread or members asking for the same thing, that has been posted before.
it's the only way to get rid of all the excess thread.

Thread stuck.
There IS an over-abundance of stickied threads at the top of the Kaiser forum at the moment. However, because the Kaiser (and all variants) are so new, there will be MANY new users with many repeated questions. So a temporary solution is to sticky threads with the most important/commonly asked issues and questions.
In the near future, all this information should be migrated over to the WIKI with a single sticky directing everyone there.
So guys and gals, get those dictionaries and thesauruses out and make the WIKI nice. It should, after all, be a group resource and effort.
Redundant Questions
The reason you have so many redundant questions is that the Tilt was just released into the largest consumer population in America, Caaaleefornia as Schwartzenager says it. Unfortunately, all these Left Coasters that always have to have the latest & greatest gadgets don't know the difference between a MSM7200 & a BMW 750.
Having said that, now I need to ask a ??? I have tried everything but can dump the time & battery icon off the title bar without alignment problems. Anybody find a key yet? Are we stuck creating new icon templates in black to save us from the alignment issue? Or has someone found a key to compensate the alingment loss from removing both time & battery status icons?

I'm with you on that. But if TT is considered warez, so should ROMs since tilt owners did not buy a kaiser and he's posting about those. and with TT you still have to buy the maps.

I noticed that last night when I rebooted my Tilt. They announced it at the beginning of the year, saying they were gonna roll it out in June, then kept pushing the date back. I have been bugging the Cingular guys at the store in the MOA for months about this.

haha true, i guess that is the paradox we are faced with...also I'd like to thank whoever the mod was that got rid of all the threadcrapping, it was definitely needed.
We've always accepted that we walk a fine line on the ROMs.
Technically when you purchase a WM5/6 device you have purchased that OS. We are able to Mod our desktop OS to extremities that PPC OS will probably never see. Cooked Roms are the answer. We do draw the line at ROMs that include WAREZ.
Now if you could come up with a way to have two OSes installed on your PPC at the sam time then this gray area would be decidedly more black.
BTW, you're welcome on the clean-up let's try to keep it looking good in here.

um...yea, its called going into your settings under the TouchFlo and unchecking the box that says "Enable sound when..." Also, this is not a specific Tilt question, lets keep this limited to Tilt questions in this thread, thanks.
The reason I'm asking this in the TILT specific thread is because there are no TouchFLo settings that I'm aware of on the AT&T ROM. So um yea, it's called actually knowing what you're talking about before condemning a post.

Fine, if the touchflo settings arent there then I dont know what to say, other then I am done dealing with ATT ROM Problems, not because I can't answer them, but because of the majority of people that stick with the AT&T ROMs. I am not going through the somewhat lengthy process of reflashing an AT&T ROM onto my Tilt so I can go into the settings and find the entry to change for the clicking sound TouchFlo makes...if anyone has this knowledge (although I doubt they would because they probably also would not still be using the AT&T ROM) please feel free to contribute the fix.
AT&T are the crappiest ROMs, and the people that seem to stay with them and have questions about them are almost always newbies that dont want to take the time to learn about flashing their phone (which is basically what the whole purpose of this forum is - improving your phone's current OS by flashing it with a newer, better one, which 99.9% of the time NEVER includes an AT&T ROM). Sorry to sound rude to those of you I've rubbed the wrong way but the majority of those people whom I have are AT&T users new to the forum who dont want to take the time to read.
For those who are in the 1% that dont flash because they are afraid of bricking and/or voiding their AT&T warranty, sirsycho has a whole thread devoted to getting it back to the AT&T ROM so you wont lose your warranty (it's stickied).

How about pulling this thread into the wiki? I think this would be much handier...
Maybe it would be good to include this option ("wiki") in such a poll too (instead of that biased 2 answer-possibilities).
hi,
i searched and searched and searched this forum for a few days, but after many tries i didn't find the answer for a few problems:
1. The main problem with my phone (this is why i'm little dissapointed in swaping from my P1i to a pocket pc device) is that sometimes it is pretty slow and it is not responding for pressed keys or screen touching. For ex. when i was setting up my T-Mo MMS settings i pressed the "Connect via" drop down list and my Kaiser responded after 4 or 5 press. the same happens sometimes with a start menu or task manager or anything else. it is really annoying...Do you have any idea for that? Aha, i've made a Clear Storage for a few times but it didn't help. it is still the same...
I guess that i have an at&t ROM (i'm not sure because it is my first phone with pocketpc) but it is unlocked.
ROM version is: 1.57.502.2
ROM Date: 08/25/07
Radio ver: 1.27.12.11
Protocol ver: 22.45.88.07H
If you need any more info, please tell me,i'll check them.
I really like all the features of my Kaiser but it is veeery annoying...
(i also have a t-mobile dash which i get from t-mobile and it seems to be a lot of faster than this one)
2. Second thing: when i copy all the contacts from sim card to the phone they are doubled. is there any option to turn off visibility of sim-contacts?
3. Next problem is there any application like Resco that shows some shortcut icons on the today-desktop screen (for ex Phone shortcut and contats) but which looks better than Resco.
4. And the last thing is how to assign PTT hardware button to:
- short press -> show today
- long press -> go to vibration mode
i've read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356322 but when i go to windows folder (using Resco explorer) i can't see any of those files listed iin the first post ?!?!
for ex Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
That's it for the moment. Hope you can help me.

I flashed a new radio (2/19/11) to see if that would help...it didnt
I do get the E and G network icons in the tool bar/today screen.

The solution to all your problems is to search and read the Wiki and stickies. All have been discussed before. You can flash custom ROMs to fix the bloating. There are mobile versions of flash players. Youtube videos are possible. Just search and search and read the Wiki.
I also have a "fake" one but I'm meanwhile happy
Didn't flash a 6.1 yet and stick with the ATT second version so far (will wait until things are more stable).
Some tips BEFORE you install ALL you like, guess you didn't look yet into UC...
- Check your current ROM and flash the latest AT&T ROM (RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_1.62.502.0_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.14.09R2_Ship.exe) can be found on the ATT or HTC/ATT side.
- After flashing and setting up the basics (tab screen yadayadayada) the tilt will reboot. Have your stylus ready after the first boot you have ~ 3 sec to ram the sylus in the little whole, if you miss it ALL bloatware will be installed. Worst case do it all over again.
- Get a good reg. editor and file manager (PHM, Total Commander).
- Install HTC Home 6 and HHC Home Customizer
From there on you should be quiet happy with appearance and speed (for a good start at least).
Look around for dialers you like (wizard retouched dialer) and be careful with some com managers because you may not be able to connect to wireless or even network (required registry tweak thus the editor above). Download and store ATTDEFAULT.CAB (should be the right name) in case you mess something up...
That made me happy.
