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, 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.

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 guys i just added the unlimited web browsing option with o2 on my diamond as we moved into a new flat and we dont have braodband yet.
o2 said i cant use my phone as a modem though, they dont allow you to connect to the net via your computer. i think she meant if i put the sim card into a usb modem.
But im wondering can anyone confirm whether or not i will be charged extra for syncing my diamond to my laptop and using the phone as my modem??
thanks
anyone?.....................
I don't see how they would know?
Other than the excessive downloading...
hey,
i do this all the time and they never know. do you have unlimited web on phone?
You can indeed connect your phone to your pc and use it as a modem to access the internet. When you connect your phone to your pc you should have the option to choose "internet sharing" mode which allows this. However although i have an XDA Ignito I am running a cooked rom and i'm not sure if "internet sharing" is available as an option on the standard o2 rom. Either way if you do have that option it wont cost you anything as long as you keep within the fair usage policy.
thanks guys, i basically used it yesterday and checked my charges today and no extra charges so all seems ok. i have the unlimited web, run a cooked rom with the internet sharing option on a diamond so works fine and is actually quite fast!
i think you are right if you use it a lot to download films etc they will find out, shame but never mind hopefully sky will hurry up and install our BB soon
Thanks again for the help!
I installed the latest copy of ICSControl last night, aiming to share my T-Mobile data connection over wifi.
It didn't seem to work (I'd not set up an ad-hoc network) so I downloaded and installed a copy of ipnat.dll for another device, and tried again.
Still having no luck I then learnt of the need to set up a network first.
It was fantastic, untill it ate the battery.
When I turned my vario 3 back on, it loaded the new ipnat, and now neither ICSControl or internet connection sharing work.
I've ruined it, irony, no?
Can anyone spare a copy of the wm6 kaiser ipnat? I'm running the default t-mobile rom.
Thanks,
Ruin
Hi,
My blackstone connect to the internet service automatically draining my prepaid load.
Is this the same in all the WM 6.5?
WM6.1 doesnt do this. It only connects when I need it.
Does anyone have a fix on this. No push internet doesnt seem to solve this problem in my HTC BS.
Thanks

Because that was not the root cause ...
Actually the cause of the so called problem is a lack of understanding of the basic WM and HTC data connection settings and more specifically the way the two operate together, or don't in this case. In fact there really is no problem and nothing specific to the WM6.5 ROMs. This auto data connection behavior existed in my stock WM6.1 ROM way back in the dim old days.
Let me try to explain it this way.
First thing to understand is that there are two controls for Data Connection. A HTC TF3D/Sense one which everyone knows as Comm Manager. The second deeper level one is the WM6.X one which you will find at Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks > Your Cellular Operator Settings (GPRS Settings).
The second thing to understand is that when you do a hard reset as you must when you flash a ROM, the Auto Connection Setup process will automatically select for you and set the GPRS settings on by default. So, deep down there, WM6.x has set you up to use a data connection automatically whenever your mobile needs a data connection and your WiFi is disabled. This happens for example if your email is set to auto download every so many minutes. Remember, email is a WM6.X service.
The third thing to understand is that the HTC Comm Manager really only controls data connections from the HTC interface, ie. TF3D/Sense. For example, if you do a weather update, this is a TF3D/Sense service. So if you turn off Data Connection in Comm Manager it will just turn off data connections to the interface. But lets say your email does an auto send and receive, because the WM6.X GPRS setting is enabled, a data connection will take place regardless of what you did in the Comm Manager.
So how to get around this problem? Easy! Go to the WM6.X setting for Connections that I pointed out above. After entering 'Select Networks' use the drop down box to select 'My Work Network' in the upper setting for programs that automatically connect to the internet. This will totally disable your data connection and it will not turn on again until you do the reverse.
Now, to turn data back on, you don't need to go into WM settings. You will find that the Comm Manager is sort of connected to the WM6.X setting. Turn on Data Connection in Comm Manager and you will find that it brings up the WM6.X Connections settings so that you can go to the drop down box and re-enable your Cellular operator's settings for GPRS. After clicking OK a few times you will end up back at Comm Manager where you turn on Data Connections. If you skip this last step, it will turn on automatically anyway when a program calls for a data connection.
Now the quirk is that Comm Manager is not connected to the WM6.x settings in the same way when you want to turn Data Connection off in Comm Manager. In other words it does not take you back to the WM connection settings when you turn it off as it does when you turn it on. As I showed you above, you have to do it the long winded way and dig deep into WM6.x Connection settings to turn off your cellular data connection. Yes sure, Comm Manager could definitely have been better built in this regards. But it has been like this since day 1.
Programs such as NoData which some chefs cook into their ROMs provide shortcuts to reach those deep WM Connections settings. But frankly, once you know where to find the settings, it becomes second nature and I have never had the need to use NoData.
Anyway, hope this helps.
i loved yr explanation but: i had never this "problem" in WM6.1 even when i always kept the "programs that automatically connect to the Internet......" settings to "orange 3G" (my portal) and only the "programs that automatically connect to a private network..." on "My Work Network".
after 5-6 years of heavy WM use (look at my sig/list of devices) this is the first time i encounter this problem.
I think Clicking on a Nodata shortcut would be much faster than going through all those steps. I hope a solution is found soon. But all ROMs I have tried have this same problem. no mail accounts setup nothing. It still try's to connect.
Turn off my location settings. Also check if "automatically update weather" is turned off.
Did the trick for me on all 6.5 ROM's.
Workaround:
1. Before flashing any Rom, remove the Sim card.
2. After flashing, uncheck "Enable Auto Configuration" from connection setup.
3. Put Sim card back and have a peace of mind.

Heh ... if you did it this way you won't have any MMS (unless you put it in manually) or Data connection when you want to turn it on.

Yep ... NoData is a solution.
I kind of grew into the habit of drilling down for the GPRS setting from the days when ROMs were not cooked with NoData or equivalents. Problem with these shortcuts is that for some it meant that the basic WM settings were never learnt, so when something goes wrong or a chef does not cook it in, the user gets lost. This is the same problem with the MMS connection issue in M2.5. The cause of the problem here, from my own experience, is with the updated WM Connections Auto Config putting in the wrong MMS access point settings. So when that happens, those who never learnt how to do it manually in WM get stuck.

This does not work for me. I have tried any of the turn off methods and nothing has worked. Going to try what abwyatt has suggested and see if this helps. To me this is a real big problem for some people. Even for me I have a 20 hr data plan for 1 month for about 7.00 USD after that it charges by the mb. Just last night on my last flash I was tired and forgot to enable nodata and woke up this morning and the data connection had been active for 9 hrs.

I would differ on that. It is directly related to problems with WM 6.5 ROM's. And not only as users but as cooks we are looking for answers as well. Moving to General section just assures the problem will not be addressed by our cooks here that may find a solution.
Just my opinion

Point taken and I agree with your comments above. To to show users that we Mod's do listen as well, I will happily move this thread back to rom development
Thank you, and it's good that you see both sides.
I disabled mine from Settings>Data Services>ActiveSync>Sync data automatically
Now I only get auto connected after soft reset, then just disable from Comm Manager>Data Connection>Off and it doesn't connect by itself anymore
But still works when needed for weather mail etc.
Just to put my 2 cents on the table here. All wm6.5 roms I've tried have had this and I generally install NoData for quick fix, but after a period of time it started to bug me. So upon further investigation it did turn out to be an app seeking automatic update, whether it was email, QuickGPS, weather, stock, facebook, activesync or some other app. Having gone through all these apps or whatever apps installed on rom and then disabling them, the problem seizes to exist. The confusing thing is that it is not consistent, i.e. with different rom's it appears to be a different app which caused the issue!!
I've tried ROM like PhamQhuang, MaryOne etc. I think the problem is from HTC sense, if we switch to HTC sense off or set to windows default the auto connection working well (not reconnect when we off data connection)

are you trying to use internet sharing with no data plan? if so, that wont work
Like "leemoss84" commented, you can't use internet sharing if you don't have data plan, as internet sharing is using the data plan of your phone for browsing internet on computers.
But if you want to use the wireless (Wi-Fi) feature of the phone without using the data plan, disable the 'Proxy'
Start > Tools > Proxy Manager > Disable Proxy
also in the Settings > Connections > Select Network
select "My ISP" instead of MEdia Net
once you've done this, you can access wireless network without being charged by AT&T.
I do have Data plan
I do have a Data Plan with AT&T with unlimited internet, but At&t wants me to charge me an extra $60 a month! just for tethering with my laptop
or to use the phone as a modem.
I want to know if there is a way to jump the $60.00 a month they want to charge on top of the unlimited internet and voice plan Im paying now.
Thanks in advance.

To tether undetected, just make sure both your internet connections in "Settings\Connections\Connections\Advanced Select Networks" are set to MediaNet and take out any proxy server in "Settings\Connections\Connections\Tasks\Manage Existing Connections"
I do it all the time.
Bruce thanks, so I went to take out the proxy server in "Settings\Connections\Connections\Tasks\Manage Existing Connections"
I i see a message on the TASK tab " The Connection is pre-configured it cannot be modified
I didn't know that would work unless you use a custom rom. I wasn't able to tether untill I flashed with dutty's. after that.. a few changes (media net, etc. mentioned above.) and I was off and running..
can you please recommend how can I flash my phone?
at this moment I'm lock with At&t
what will be the best option to flash my phone?
step one assume you have topaz (htc pure) in my case
go here to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
then once thats done go here and choose your rom that you want to flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=486
I recomend NRGZ28 Max manila http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562942
basicly when you download the rom if everything went well with step one just open the RUU file (looks like a topaz phone icon) and follow instructions. Make sure your phone is connected via sync
again this is a fast tutorial theres more detail ones around here in these forums
I had the same trouble when I first got the pure. There is a way to use ICS on the original rom. You have to change some registry values. I searched the internet and found the instuctions and it worked. But since then I have used many different roms that are better than the original and don't have that problem. I would recommend the energy rom. Remember to install hard spl first.

Don't you have a app "Remove Proxy server"?
all of this is comepletly not needed . there is a reg edit that will handle this easily over on the att forum . ;-) just do some digging like i did no flashing or other programs needed .

might as well just install a simple app that is 2kb. it will save time considering you didnt post the edit and when you hard reset you dont have to go looking for it again, all you gotta do is install the app.
I will do some more research
then I need a app to manipulate the Registry on my HTC PURE with AT&T.
thanks guys

WOW ! I got it the HTC PURE AT&T Solution to install the latest "Hard SPL"
Wow!
First thank you for all your contributions and inputs trying to help me with my problem Flashing the HTC PURE AT&T
Here is what I did:...
I was having a lot of problems trying to install the latest "Hard SPL", specially with USB communication and even when my phone was connected via ActiveSync.
I tried the automatic Flash and the manual with no results........ I was about to give up!
Also I download the "enablerapinew.cab" and installed on my phone main memory and ran the .cab and I got the message "installation of enablerapinew.cab was unsuccessful"- so i was going NUTS ! and I tried another .cab files to see if I was getting the same error and .... same thing I tried different .cab files like TOMTOM , google maps and a Games and all of them gave me the same message !"installation of enablerapinew.cabwas unsuccessful"
mmm........
So what I did was I reset the phone to the Manufacturers setup ( you know entering the password) 1234 and the phone will be like the first time you turned on.
so after that I install the enablerapinew.cabb and the installation was successful ! and everything else work !
now I have the ROM i wanted ! and .....
KISS GOODBYE AT&T !!!

yeah, a good hard reset will work wonders sometimes when you got a problem that cant be fixed. congrats.
so i have a question... i am running a custom rom on my phone, but my dad wants to basically do what the OP wanted, internet tethering without paying for the extra tethering plan. i cannot convince him to let me flash a new rom, likes the phone as is, just wants internet sharing. if i run that .cab on his phone, do i have to then make registry changes, or will the cab do all the work? what else would i need to do to give him his internet sharing?

Just install the cab.
AT&T tracks tethering through their proxy server, the reg edit just takes out the proxy settings as does the cab.
Its the same tweak, just different ways to get there.
To verify it worked go to Settings\Connections\Connections\Manage Existing Connections\Proxy Settings and confirm it is blank.
the "enablerapinew.cab" this CAB is for phones with problem installing the Hard SPL, the "enablerapinew.cab" will enable the phone to install the "Hard SPL" and them you need to flash the ROM , on my case I did a hard reset and them install the "enablerapinew.cab" them run the cab , and them flash the Rom, and after that I was able to share internet w/out problems
