My Tilt is waking up every night around 12:25 am. Since I also use it as my pager, I have to leave it accessible. It sits in a desktop charger. Hence, the light shines in my face and wakes me up (the backlight is turned down at night, but it's still enough).
So, why is it waking (me) up? Is it time for me to pee? Is it thirsty?
I don't see any running appts or anything that would cause this. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Turn it over!!
Soz....
while charging if you press the power button ( for standby) the light will be off but it will still be in use. It wil come out of the standby as soon as there is some message or call

Nothing nefarious here...
I am not receiving any texts or calls at that hour. Emails do not wake the device day or night. There are no "notifications" that need to be cleared. I had spb Time running, but deleted it (I think it was slowing things down). Sprite runs nightly at 10pm.
Is there any other place where something may be scheduled?
By the way, not that it's related, but my old Treo (years ago, 600 or 650, can't remember) had a flaw where it would wake up every night at exactly 1:30 a.m. or something. This turned out to be a system flaw that was present on everyone's device.
I had a similar problem a year ago or more.
It woke me up very early a couple of times and I was to tired to check out why.
It turned out that If I created full day events, the default reminder time was 18 hours before as default, so it woke me up at 06.00.
So now when I create full day events with reminder, I have to set it to f.ex. 10 hours before.
And I still haven't figured out where to change the default value from 18 to 10 in outlook.. Pretty annoying.
P.S. If you are using push mail and you don't want to get mail during a period. Go into Active Sync -> Menu -> Scheduling. And define a day and nigh sync. So it doesn't check mail during nighttime.
Still happening nightly. I'm half delirious whenever it happens, but I think the actual time is 01:45 or so.
I do not have any events like you described in my calendar. I am not using push email.
Any other suggestions?

Check with your power company. Maybe they are switching power grids about that time and it causes a 'brown-out'? The phone will always spring to life from sleep if the charge is removed then replaced.
In my area, this happens at around 00:30, somtimes OK, sometimes all the power drops for a split second.
I assume you mean the alarm goes off by itself? (It is possible to set alarms that only use the light, no sound.) I had this problem; the first day I got my Kaiser I stayed up late playing around with it and tested the alarm at around 2:45 am before going to sleep. The following two nights, even though I no longer had this 2:45 alarm in the clock settings, the Kaiser woke me up during the night, but I was too tired to check what was going on.
I remembered it was probably 2:45 am when the night alarms went off, so I figured my earlier alarm was somehow running in the background. What I did was, set a new alarm at 2:45 am, on the same slot that the old 2:45 was on (the first slot), set it on all weekdays, then toggle it on and off. I was hoping this would somehow ovrewrite/reset the information about the "ghost alarm", and I guess it did, since the Kaiser no longer goes berserk during the night.
Maybe there is some sort of bug or illogical functionality with the dismiss/snooze system in the alarms? Since the Kaiser has been around for a while I thought someone else would have run into it & figured it out.
my kaiser sometiems wakes up by itself too - i reckon theres some ackground task or process running that touches something inside and that wakes the device up - i dont know what causes it or why - simplest thing ive found is to literally just cover it up - bit 'hacky' but it does me fine - im not bothered if it does wake up just so long as it doesnt wake me up!
cant beleive you guys get nightly brown-outs - thats just crap - doesnt happen in this country
Hello all,
It's great to have found this forum, I was getting a bit desperate from the lack of customer support on the HTC website...
I stumbled into some issues with my HTC Touch Diamond, and I hope some of you will know the answer to some of them
Let me number them for convenience in replying:
1) Battery charging while the phone is off results in the battery status only going up till about 80% in a few hours, and then staying there. No matter how long I charge my phone, it doesn't go higher than 80%. After a reset, the battery does indicate 100%. How can I fix this without having to reset every time after a charge? Why doesn't the phone "see" the battery is full while it's on? How long should it normally take to charge to 100%?
2) Old SMS messages that I transfered from my SIM card don't show up with the sender's name, but show the sender's number instead. This happens in the Touchflo 3D messages overview, but also in the "all messages" section. New messages from the same sender do show up well. How can I make the old messages also display the senders name?
3) Can I disable threaded SMS messages if I want to somehow?
4) Can I disable the "you are roaming" warning in the weather section? The network I use is *always* in "roaming mode", because my provider uses another provider's network. This cannot be fixed by using a different SIM card. Can I turn off these warnings? They are quite annoying.
5) Another thing that bugged me, is that the screen went off so quickly while in a call. FIXED WITH: \HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
6) There are some "music" files (ring, beep, bt_beep, callend) which show up in my music overview. Why? Where are they? I can't find them, but I want to get rid of them...
7) No snooze function for the alarm.....? Such a basic function, why doesn't this exist? Is it possible to "get" it somehow (while still keeping the alarm option in the Home/Today screen)?
8) When in threaded SMS messaging, it is impossible to select a message. When you click it, the sender screen opens, and only after canceling that screen, you end up with the message being selected. Only then you can delete it. Is it possible to just select the message without opening the sender screen?
9) Manage folders for SMS/MMS is greyed out. Why?
10) Birthday's from contacts don't show up on the "today" screen/calendar?
That's it for now, I already installed the advanced config tool, which of course adds great flexibility!
Thanks in advance for any replies!
see this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372263
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\SMSInbo xThreadingDisabled=1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMs g=0
and I also want to add my problem, when I use headphone to listen music, it will have a sound drop every 3-4 mins, but no problem when using BT handsfree or the internal speaker, any idea?
6) You've included the ring tones in your WMP library I think.
7) Yes you can snooze. When your alarm goes off, get the notification to the foreground and there'll be menu options to snooze.
8) Use the Up/Down hardware keys. (Default cursor position when you're in threaded mode is a new message in a text input box, but if you press the Up hardware key, it'll go to the last sent/received message in the thread).
Thanks!
About 6) though, I don't think it's the ringtones. There are many more ringtones on the phone than just these 4 files. Also, they don't appear in the ringtone selection screen. Any idea how i can search the phone to find those files? Windows (XP) search doesn't really want to search in my mobile device..
About 7) Ok, didn't see that. When I just wake up, I am too sleepy to think. Can't the snooze functionality be mapped standard to some button or another?

Hello,
It seems to me I keep seeing my identical twin right before my very eyes. Almost every complaint or everything that people are saying or having about this phone is a direct page out of my own book. All the problems and lack of support and no fix for any of this. My question is there even a fix to any of this so far I have found none. According to HTC just to do a hard factory reset (which really will not fix anything, accept to restore it to factory settings and succeed in wiping anything not factory installed off your phone). I at my wits end this is a $700 + (piece of crap) phone and supposed to be a top of the line and it barely functions.
How come they do not have even a flicker of an indication that the phone is charging while it is off, Such as a light on the phone itself not the charger? Also, why doesn't the batter last longer all together, and have a much needed better battery life?
My SMS (text) message question is why should we have to go into the all message area/section to see the entire message? Why can we not just be able to scroll up in the main message screen to reveal the rest of the message if it is longer than the screen?
Screen turning off during calls
About the screeen going off during a call is a problem with the phone. Believe me you are not the only one with this problem. Besides myself I have heard many complaints. I have also heard that the fix that you have listed should take care of the problem. However, someone said they tried it and it did not work. As for me I am still trying to get someone to explain how to use it. I am not sure where I am supposed to go in order to or how to use it. Please if you can I would greatly appreaciate any help at all you can offer me on this.
ALARM
There is a snooze function in the alarm. It can be set to 5 min, 15 min and some other settings. I believe (and if I am correct) it comes up after the alarm goes off with the different snooze times offered and you then select the one you would like. Hope this helps.
What I find annoying rather than too serious is that if you go back into a section where there is input the keboard will return to where you left it (like the number pad, rather than the initial main keyboard) instead of returning to the main keyboard.
I have these plus more issues with the phone.
One of my current and quite aggravating problems is that all settings do not remain as they have been changed to. Enevitabely they undoubtedly revert back to whatever their default settings were. For example the backligt while on battery setting. I keep changing it from its default of 10 sec to 2 min and it eventually at some random unknown point will automatically revert back to is default setting. Another one that does this is the calander I set it to open in month view however even though it keeps showing it is set to open at month view it never does.
Also I don't know about you. However, the phone is often sluggish, slow, and freezing up. While it is sluggish if I want to navigate somewhere I have to navigate in the opposite direction you normally navigate to get where you are trying to go.
3G does not work in the US. Which means Video calling will and does not work (on non US vers).
finding and downloading apps for the phone is difficult. I usually get messges saying the program is not a pocket pc enabled program (or something along those lines) and will not work.
when trying to view photos in the file explorer (because naturally that is the only place you can beam them from and not the main photo album screen) they are supposed to show up as icons so you can see which is which and send the ones you want, they always do not.
The Voice commander program takes forever to work if it even bothers to work at all (it almost never recognizes the command you are saying).
Scrolling/touch flow presents somewhat of a problem to me. Often it does not do what I am trying to do (such as scroll or navigate) instead it will be as act as if I have clicked on or selected an item/program/ contact or whatever instead of another function such as scrolling. For example if I am scrolling, and need to stop it the only way I know how is to lightly tap the screen. However, this not always but often or usually results in an item being activated as though it had been clicked on (such as a phone call being initated). That I find a bit comical or ironic because often I have difficulty making or placing a call when I am trying to.
These next few items are just personal notes or observations rather than problems. However, battery life is awful, and what in the world possessed them (HTC) not to have an external memory card slot? Whatever gave them the idea that 4GB is anywhere near even close to enough storage, pics, music, games, video. . . .NO WAY! Also, in my opinion the scroll menue bar on the bottom of the screen is too close toe the man screen above it. So, inevetibly if I am trying to scroll or navigate something in onre of the menues such as pics, music, or different cities weather I usually end up hitting the scroll menue bare and it navigates me away from what I am doing (which is typical with the touch flow feature, it usually gives me difficulty). In my opinion they just should have not had any of the jard buttons on the phone made the screen larger (the complete size/length of the phone) and had all of buttons/commands activated by/on the screen itself. Another annoying thing is that there is only one connection to the phone. So, if you want to listen to music via the headset witch undoubtedly suck the life out of the battery howe are u supposed to charge the phone?
Well, those are just SOME of my thoughts, problems, frustrations, complaints, advice, ect. . . There is pleanty more where they came from.
I would eternally be greateful if you or anyone else could offer anything at all regarding my problems with the phone or any other information, any developments, or anything at all in relation to the Diamond piece of crap.
Please feel free to let me know if I can return the favor and help you in anyway. I am happy to help. Good luck with your phone.
Sincerely,
Jennifer

what about a specific program like travel alarm. it's cheap and have very big buttons for the snooze. you don't have to look for options (5,10,15 min) you just preset the snooze and you keep pressing the "snooze" button till you''ll be late (happened to me)..hehehe

during the charging there is a very nice soft light going around (spinning) the action button. believe me, i am looking at it right now. maybe it's the htc trying to hypnotize it's happy customers...lol. when the charging is finished the light stop spinning

it's a step forward. before htc flow you had to go to messages and look for yr message. now you see the beginning of the message on the main screen (aha, that's the one!) and with a push of thumb (it better be not a big one) you go straight to yr important SMS. not bad, i think.

did you uncheck the "auto adjust backlight" option? it might work.

try sliding on the main screen you don't have to use the menu bar. you also can use the upper strip where the name of the menu is written.
as a conclusion and a friendly advice, be patient,try and get used to the new gadget. it's not so bad...i have my hopes in the rom that soon (i hope) we'll have from the pros that are doing it here just for fun. i was also taken by surprise in the first 24 hours. i did expected for this price to get a gadget that will make my coffee in the morning and voice guided me to the bathroom..lol! it isn't so. we had the courage (and the $) to buy the first batch. improvements are still to come.
Screen turning off during calls
this *feature* seems to be resolved see this post for details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2304445&postcount=94
Dear Jennifer and others,
I am glad I am not alone. Yes, today I also discovered that after changing the 10 second backlight off on battery mode to 30 seconds, it jumps back automagically to 10 seconds. This happens without the option "auto adjust" being turned on.
This is extremely frustrating to say the least... Especially when in a light environment, and you can't see the screen without the backlight.
I'm going to try the offered solution for the screen turning off during a call, because the original solution didn't work for me either, I discovered today.
The battery life is starting to get to me, with the phone going dead on me after one night (idle of course) + one day (maybe 1 min calling, some texting, some google maps) of use. This is ridiculous...
Anyone found a solution for one of the other issues mentioned?
I would also like to point out, that I think the setting "disable startup animation" in the advanced config tool does not seem to work for the diamond.
I set this, but it still shows the HTC animation. However, the sound is gone

Thank you for your help I really appreaciate it. However, unfortunately I have that setting unchecked and it is still continuning to do that. I just went in there to check and it was of course back to 10 sec. I don't know how to fix it. The odd thing though is that it only does it with the setting for turning off the backlight while running on battery not while plugged in. I am not sure why but it is extremely aggravating. I am begining to think I am going to try and exchange it for the Cruise. It sounds like a much better phone. Though, I am waiting to see about the Diamond US ver. I am not sure what to do. I want to try the sollution for the backlight while on a call problem. However, I am clueless about how to do it. Apparently from what I understand I need to get a program in order to make the changes and I am not exactly sure how to get the program and install it then how to do it once I have the program. I would love some help with that. Thanks again.
Jennifer
The way I did it is as follows:
1) install active sync / your mobile device on your pc/laptop, using the cd's that came with the phone.
2) download and use this software to enable RAPI: http://www.breaksoft.com/Download/MRE/EnableRAPI.zip
(read about it on http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Posts/2005/8/Mobile_Registry_Editor_FAQ.aspx)
3) download mobile registry editor: http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
4) run it, browse to the settings as mentioned, double click them and change their values:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatteryTimeoutInCall set from 5 to 0
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatterySuspendTimeoutInCa ll from 5 to 0
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormandDisplayD uringCall from 1 to 0
(where HKLM stands for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)
5) soft reset your phone and it should work...?
Good luck, let me know if it works.
What bugs me most is the following:
If i turn off the screen of my phone by pressing the on/off switch and i recieve a SMS the SMS-tone won't sound.
When i press the on/off button again to use my phone the tone will sound, butt i recieved the message half an hour ago :S.
The only way to avoid this is to lock the phone and not turn off the screen, which results in a stand-by time of only 8-10 hours (not sufficient for my use).
Are there any fixxes for this problem?

Ok, typical because i sometimes got a message, but 9 outta 10 times i didn't.
Changing the registry setting fixes my problem and completely awakes my phone. Exactly what i want.
Outstanding issues
Alright, so as for me, the following issues are still not resolved:
1) Battery charging while the phone is off results in the battery status only going up till about 80% in a few hours, and then staying there. No matter how long I charge my phone, it doesn't go higher than 80%. After a reset, the battery does indicate 100%. How can I fix this without having to reset every time after a charge? Why doesn't the phone "see" the battery is full while it's on? How long should it normally take to charge to 100%?
2) Old SMS messages that I transfered from my SIM card don't show up with the sender's name, but show the sender's number instead. This happens in the Touchflo 3D messages overview, but also in the "all messages" section. New messages from the same sender do show up well. How can I make the old messages also display the senders name?
3) Can I disable the "you are roaming" warning in the weather section? The network I use is *always* in "roaming mode", because my provider uses another provider's network. This cannot be fixed by using a different SIM card. Can I turn off these warnings? They are quite annoying.
4) There are some "music" files (ring, beep, bt_beep, callend) which show up in my music overview. Why? Where are they? I can't find them, but I want to get rid of them... They are not the ringtones of the phone.
5) Manage folders for SMS/MMS is greyed out. Why?
6) Birthday's from contacts don't show up on the "today" screen/calendar?
7) after changing the 10 second backlight off on battery mode to 30 seconds, it jumps back automagically to 10 seconds. This happens without the option "auto adjust" being turned on.
8) The setting "disable startup animation" in the advanced config tool does not seem to work for the diamond. I set this, but it still shows the HTC animation. However, the sound accompanying the animation is gone.
If anyone has a solution to any of the above, I will be eternally grateful
I think alot of these niggles will be solved by a new rom update...now when HTC get their fingers out of their asses and provide the owners of the Diamond one is entirely another question.
Other than reg editing i dont think theres much you can do unless someone here develops a new better rom to solve alot of these issues you guys seem to be having.

I dont really know to be honest as this is my very first foray into Windows Mobile...but if its anything like WinXp or Vista reg editing then i suppose if you start messing around with values...you might find that you no longer have a phone that works properly but as i said i really dont know what sort of damage you could do with the phone via reg editing/hacking etc.
Personally for me, when i get my Diamond ill only make the changes that have been proven to work ie the Diamond tweaking thread. Other than that i dont think ill be mucking around with the registry too much.

The problems above are not Diamond specific. They exists in all WM devices.
2) Once transfered to SIM card, the format of the phone number might changed (compared to the one in your contacts). This might be the cause of the problem.
4) These files are located in \Windows folder. Don't have Diamond, so don't know how to solve this problem for you. Normally most players I used so far has a way to exclude some folders.
5) You are not able to create any folders for SMS/MMS. That is why it is greyed out. This is always true since I use WM2003SE to WM6.1
6) If you create contacts using any WM devices, the Birthday appointment is not automatically created. If you sync your contacts to your PC (with Outlook installed), Outlook will created the appointments for you and they will be copied over to your device. Or, if you installed 3rd party PIM (ex, Pocket Informant), normally 3rd party PIM will automatically created the birthday appointments for you.
Found a new version on Modaco...don't know whether anyone noticed:

* This should also work on the HTC Touch Cruise, please let me know if you try it and it works okay. Works with Windows Mobile 6.1 and the .NET compact frame 2.0 or 3.5.
Version 2.02 - Fixes an error relating to date time parsing when using certain cooked ROMs. If you do not have this problem no need to upgrade.
Whats new in version 2.0?
Audio and vibrate reminder alerts for new items
Version 2 now allows you to add audio and vibrate reminder alerts for unread items. Most mobile phones do this and I started to miss this on the Kaiser. Mobile phones will intermitently beep/vibrate if you have new items but haven't seen them, whereas Windows Mobile generally sounds once when the item arrives but gives no additional sounds after that and leaves it to a flashing LED to get your attention. With this version your Kaiser will play a wav file of your choice and/or vibrate every so many minutes for new items.
To avoid battery drain and annoying those around you in your absence, the phone will increase the time span between reminders, the default is: Item arrives, phone alerts as normal. If after 5 minutes you haven't read the message, it will play the selected wav file and/or vibrate. If the message still goes unread it will then alert again after waiting for 10 minutes, then it will alert after a wait of 15 minutes, then 20 minutes, all the way up to 60 minutes, where it will then alert every hour. These settings are configurable.
Off schedule
You can now set a period where the Kaiser Notification program should not interupt you, typically this would be used for overnight. LEDs stop flashing, and no alerts are played for unread items. You can also select to turn the mobile phone off during this period which is great for saving battery power and knowing you are not going to be woken by a ringing phone.
What's fixed?
When roaming onto networks the LED will now flash normally.
What's still broken?
I've had no joy finding out how to flash the LED amber. You may still select amber as an option, however it will flash green. Hopefully I will get to the bottom of this soon.
As per a few requests I have not been able to adjust the flash rates for the LED, or have them light static while charging.
Installation Instructions
The program must be installed on 'Device' to work, it currently does not work if installed on storage card.
1) Copy the cab file to the device and run it. Install to device and not a storage card. If you have the first version it will be removed automatically.
2) From Programs click the new icon for 'Kaiser Notfication Setup'.
3) On first running the setup program the LEDs will automatically be set to the pre-defined defaults, change as required. Set up a schedule and reminder alerts as required.
A link is placed in the Windows/Startup folder during install that will ensure the tiny program that controls the LEDs is loaded automatically when the Kaiser is soft reset or turned off and back on.
Uninstalling
Use Remove Programs to uninstall. After uninstall a soft reset is necessary to get the LEDs flashing as per the original HTC settings.
Other Information
Once this program is installed the LED will not light steady during a charge. This functionality will of course be restored after uninstalling.
Wi-Fi isn't indicated with this program as the device needs to be on to have Wi-Fi enabled anyway so you can see the connectoin status on the display.
Scheduling Mobile Phone to Turn On
(Update: On Windows Mobile 6.1 ROMs with Radio version 1.64.08.21 this is no longer an issue) If you set a schedule and select to turn the mobile phone on at the end of the scheduled period, please note the Kaiser will come fully on before timing out and going back to standby. This behaviour I can not change and is triggered by the radio chip. Please be careful if using this as option as when the phone turns on it could be subject to accidental button presses, and of course I can not be responsible for any charges you may incur if the phone accidently dials out.
alert/vibrate reminders
The alert/vibrate reminder is silenced as soon as you read one or more unread items. You do not need to read all unread items to silence the alert/vibrate reminder. The idea of the reminder is to get you back to look at your phone for new items that have arrived but you have missed, once you read a single item the reminders are cancelled as it has done it's job of getting your attention. Should any new items arrive afterwards, the alerts will start again.
Sound files
You may select any wav file for the alert sound. Only wav files that are in the Windows folder are supported. You may of course add a wav to the Windows folder to use your own sound.
Any problems let me know in the support forum. Enjoy.

I've had it forever, and I'm using 2.02.
I was hoping this was a new version, KN doesn't work 100% with WM 6.1.

Hmmm... I couldn't find it on the forum and therefore posted it (knowing it was dated march 2008). I've used the 1.0 version up to now, did you try it with that version because I have no issues with it on any ROM I tried (and I try them all, almost ROM update weekly).

This version is there from 3.5.2008. I am still waiting that he will resolve some issues about the led flashing.

No, I'll try to find the older version. This one basically works, but I think I *only* get one LED notification after that.. It's very odd.. if I have SMS set to Blue and Email set to Green, and I get an email first, I'll get a green blink. After that I'll only get a green blink. After a soft reset, if I get an SMS first, I'll get blue blinks after..
Never any left blinks, such as missed call etc..
But at least it doesn't blink forever like nueLED did, and it'll uninstall without leaving junk all over. Also it doesn't blink incessantly and still works with TomTom, so I continue to use it... but I'll try v1.0
@ Mikulec
Which blinking issue do you mean exactly?
When your Leds wont stop blinking after receiving a new SMS/MMS just try these.
Go into your registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/System/State/Messages
There are Folders named SMS and MMS, in these Folder is another Folder called unread.
There is a key called Count, set it to zero in both folders and the leds will stop endless blinking.
Cheers
Damn,
I read your post 2 or 3 days ago, thought I'll give a try cause I was searching for such an app (switching off sounds for specific time periods, i.e. in the morning to use SpoonAlarm, which uses a "notification" before activating, sort of iritating when still sleepy ).
Then I forgot and needed 30 minutes of intensive forum search to put my hands on it . I try it now, thanks for the tip.
EDIT: damn the led system isn't handling amber at all, not even when the phone is charging, that's lame :-/. And you can't do w/o it seems. I wanted this "scheduled switch off notification" .
i will keep my post short
"KaiserNotifications is must to have in Kaiser"
I have a Tilt and I don't know if my phone is the problem or what? but I cannot select "blue" for Bluetooth or "red" for unread SMS. I know there's an issue with the amber light, but my phone is only blinking green and nothing else, no matter what changes do I make. Is this software 100% compatible with the AT&T Tilt?
Thank you, brother. it is useful
TU...
But after 1 month using I instal nueLED and for me it's the best software..
i can't see amber color any more
I Installed KaiserNotification v2.02 but i can't see the amber color any more, i can see it only when it charges and before entering windows.
Is there any solution in registry?
Thx in advanded

I've flashed my 8925 twice and hard reset it once, I've tried with and without having allowed the ATT customizations, and still there's a bunch of stupid little crap that is driving me nuts. Please note: these bugs are with no additional software installed.
Can't keep the backlight from timing out. I've always disliked the default of having the screen auto dim: if the screen is on I'm probably *looking* at it, otherwise I'd have turned it off... I've tried everything, setting no backlight time out, leaving it checked but matched to the screen shutoff, it shows the right thing in the control panel and stays on after I leave that screen, but usually within minutes or especially after I've used the phone it'll start dimming at 10 seconds again--even though turn off backlight is still unchecked in the backlight control panel.
Missed calls / call log badly broken: I'll get the missed call notification but when I try to see the caller it shows the log as empty, and when I go into the log manually from the phone app it also shows empty--doesn't even have my outgoing calls.
Voicemail notification got stuck on. I can probably call ATT and have them fix this on their end in minutes but it's bloody annoying that my phone's been notifying me of a long deleted voicemail message for days.
Anybody else having any of these problems?
Anybody know a fix for any of them?
I've already tried advanced_configuration, no great help there.
What's the latest/best cooked ROM? I like that the official has stuff like Voice Command and Sprite Backup, would like to keep them...
I haven't noticed any of those problems. I have however had problems with the phone being really sluggish at times. Still testing with no apps installed. I don't have the backlight problem. I have just used the settings in Kaiser Tweak and everything is working. Not sure that I will keep using it though. I will probably go back to Hyperdragon's newest ROM's. Those always seem to work really well for me.
No issues with the official AT&T ROM either.

Are you using the right SPL?
I did not try the rom. But I heard cleartype w/ landscape problem still exist w/ this rom (like the official HTC 6.1 rom). It could be fix by replacing the ddi.dll but will probably break Opera mini 9.5.
Problems??? Pull up a chair! First I installed the ROM and none of my would work. I couldn't connect to the internet. I downloaded the ROM again and reflashed it. This time icons started disappearing on my phone. I did a soft reset. Nothing. Did a hard reset. Nothing. I reflashed. Loaded my apps, they actually worked. I set up my email, and I could connect to the internet. Great! Finally! One hour later, I got a phone call, but my phone didn't ring. Huh?Anyway, answered it, when the other party spoken it came out the speakerphone. I checked my device and there was no sound: ringtones,music games,alarms. Soft reset...Startup sound played..loaded up and no sound. Call ATT for a help, they decided to send me a replacement. Bad device, I guess. So I redownloaded the ROM and tried a different phone( i know, i know), can't get email to work, can't get MMetrics work. I quit!I will be going to custom ROM! I have a lot of reading to do.
Been using the new AT&T Rom since it was released and not having any issues. The only minor problem I have is that I'm seeing some compatibility issues with the version of S2U2 that I am using. Otherwise, good to go.
I don't get how people are having problems with this. Everything works flawlessly with me.
Except threaded messaging sucks, but with Kaiser Tweak, I turned it off.
I have had only 3 major issues with this rom.
1: Camera works, but doesn't show anything on the screen. I have a black screen, press the capture button, and I get a picture, but I can't tell what I am looking at until I take the picture. Working on this issue now. [Update] I just installed HTC Camera v5.04 b29195.00 http://rapidshare.com/files/99227062/HTC_Camera_v5.04_b29195.00__PPC_.CAB . Works Perfect now!
2. Battery life was HORRID! After 10 minutes I was down to 90%, while it sat on the desk, screen off, nothing running. After switching from 1.65.21.18 to 1.65.21.14, life was peachy. 8 hours with normal usage and only down to 80%.
3. Blue Tooth drops erratically. I connected my bt headset to the phone, made a call, after 10 or 15 minutes, it dropped the headset. BT stayed turn on, but headset couldn't be found. Turned off headset, turned back on, magically found. Haven't figured out what is causing this, but am researching that as well. OK, So I got on HTC's website to see if there was an update. There is no update for BT for the Tilt WM6.1. However, there is a fix for TYTN II WM6.0. http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=13&cat=0&dl_id=60. I decided to try this fix, installed thinking I would get the whole "this program was built for a previous version" garbage, but I didn't get that. Anyway, I am going to try this tomorrow when I make my calls. I will update if I notice it fixes my issues.
Otherwise, it's fast, good signal, good sound quality, etc. Overall I am pretty happy. Will be happier when I finally get the BT to stop dropping, as I travel a lot and it's illegal to talk on the phone w/o a hands free on any military installation.... Sorry if I didn't answer any problems others are having on this actual forum, but maybe someone else will be having the same issue and see my posts for my fixes. Thanks!
zip, zero, nada.......UI is faster, apps are faster, threaded SMS is really nice to have, MSVC works as advertised with my JB2.
Different Alarm Sounds!!
I have a small WAV file that I use as an alarm sound but now can't get the sound listing in the alarm setup. I use to put it in application data/sounds. It now doesn't show up if I put it there or anywhere else (/windows, /my documents/my ringtones). Anyone else have this problem?

All my WAV and MIDI files in the root of Windows show up fine. How small is the file? 600kb is the size limit for sounds on AT&T ROMs unless you modify the registry key that restricts it. 600k may be large for an mp3 file, but that's only mere seconds of a WAV file.
I upgraded as soon as it was available and am seriously considering going back to the old WM6.0 ROM, which worked well. I have had several lockups and had to soft-reset. I have also had problems with calls. Once, it rang and shoed me the call, but wouldn't let me pick it up. Other times I have had echos. GPS lock time is also much longer. Oh, yes, the equalizer in TCPMP creates terrible distortion. It worked great in 6.0. And I am using the recompiled version.
It is great to get results of satisfaction with the new ROM, but I personally would like to know, for those who have been having problems and those, answers to some questions:
1 Which SPL
2 Which radio
3 Activesync or POP for email
4 Bloatware installed or not
5 PIE or other browser
I am sure that there are others, but those are what come to mind for the moment.
No Problems Here
FWIW, I think my Tilt is running much better with the new ROM. I've only had it (the new ROM) for a couple of days, but TT7 and Google Maps seem to run faster, and It seems to detect WIFI networks MUCH faster than with the old ROM. I'm a happy camper, at least for now.
I've noticed that its been alot slower and I don't like having a button devoted to the ringtone volume. The other HTC Tab I was using that was supposed to be an official use had Music allowing me to access Windows Media very easily now I can't. I also noticed my dialing pad is different and not the same as it was. I also don't like the threaded SMS on Windows Mobile it doesn't suit it. It makes it look very confusing and also I've noticed it has problems moving the screen upwards so that I can see what is being written in the space. Another thing I notice is randomly the HTC Home screen cuts itself off cutting off portions of the tab information. Its something to get used to but I don't see it happening cause I can't figure out what happened to some items on the phone like my GPS doesn't work, I am experiencing worse internet problems than before, Wifi dies frequently, and the dialer doesn't seem to work like it used to. Its a disappointment.

Which key? I have been hunting... and no luck so far.
Backlight timeout linked to lock??
When I re-downloaded the software and re-flashed a *third* time things seemed to work better. The only thing I did differently was skip the 'setup a password' that last time I flashed.
The phone worked pretty well all weekend, and then this morning I finally put in owner info and set a pin password.
And I just noticed the backlight has started dimming after 10 seconds (or less) again. Restart didn't correct it, nor did changing the setting in advanced config so the screen doesn't dim for unlock screen.
For now I turned off lock and went into the backlight tab and it's stopped doing it. BLOODY ANNOYING. I've seen mention of the backlight timeout bug in other forums too...
Even while the phone was working well over the weekend I noticed that fairly often the first attempt to bring it out of standby flashes the screen on then it goes back off, comes on and stays on when I press power the second time.
I ran into the idiotic bug where text is white on white when in landscape mode, know I saw something about that being a cleartype bug or something and there being a fix, but why the hell would it be released like that?
Also, I can NOT get the 'message sent' notification to disable... does 'advanced config' not actually work?
Buggy is an understatement!
Having been unable to bear/ignore the bugs I reverted back to 6.0
Here's what I along with you guys have issues with.
1)Ringtones revert back to it's default tone whenever I open: Settings>Phone
2) Back-light reverts back to 10 seconds at random and often.
3) Google maps will not display letters when searching for places, but it'll invisibly type
4) Typical freezes on pages and things of that nature
5) Bloatware..

I'll help you out here
Go into HKEY_CurrentUser --> ControlPanel --> Sounds --> FileSizeLimit ( it's a DWORD value)
Just delete the DWORD value, and bam, enjoy .
EDIT : wow, just realized this is my first post. I've been browsing the site since the Tilt came out, but I guess I've never found it necessary to post. haha!

I have the exact same problem with my 8925. My work buddy across the hall does not have this problem with his 8925. Running WM6.0 my screen has ALWAYS dimmed at boot, as well as after a call ended; his has never done so. Now, after we've both upgraded to WM6.1, I have all my same problems, as well as the additional 10 second auto dimming that I did not encounter with WM6.0, he still has none.
No matter what settings I change, no matter if connected to power, USB, or none, my screen dims after 10 seconds. I can get it to temporarily revert back to the setting of my choice, by going into the settings and then back out, but if I manually dim the phone, get a call, or pretty much anything, it defaults back to the automatic 10 second dimming. I'm so pissed off about this. S2U2 also automatically kicks in on every screen dim, so I can't use it while the dim prob is going on. Certainly someone within this HUGE base of geniuses has a definitive answer for this.
Lots of little bugs in this release.
Google maps doesn't like it.
Can't get TCPMP to work.
Gets sluggish.
MSVC doesn't notify.
Other things I can't think of now.
Pretty irritating to say the least.
I tried searching, honest.
A couple of times a week I would wake up and notice that the Diamond screen is on and of course the power level is low. Something is waking up the device in the middle of the night. Any ideas what it may be?
As far as I know I have no scheduled tasks:
- I don't even have email set up
- ActiveSync is completely manual
- I have klaxxon installed but no alarms set up
- no other alarms
- no scheduled backups
Is there a program that logs events on the PPC so I can see what causes it to wake up?
Hmm
Well maybe it needs to go to the bathroom or sumting?
Did you check if ur Broadcast channels or not on maybe? Under Phone/ Settings/More If its on it will happen if it switches to another reception tower
I have noticed this once or twice on both my Diamond and the girlfriend's Ignito, once I just happend to notice both screens come on at the same time and it was dead on midnight!! I couldn't explain it and to my knowledge it hasn't happened again on my Diamond but the ignito seems to do it once a blue moon!!
Rich
I shall stay up and watch it at midnight to see what happens.
Has anyone used acbtaskman? I read that it has logging capabilities which may shed some light on this.

nice pun there
when got incoming sms, diamond will wake up.
Maybe u had enable this feature.
maybe he wants some milk
i think if your phone loses signal and regains it, the screen will turn on. IF that's the case...why doesn't it turn off? So it might not be that... :/
if not SMS and not task something, maybe phone call by lovely girl every night when she thinking about u, and she close the call fast..
