hi everybody, somewhat new to this forum and really enjoying it
i've came across a problem with my att tilt and searched for about 2 days straight looking for a solution..i couldnt find one
so a little history of what i've done with my tilt..
-removed all of att programs by 'clear storage' and then pushing the soft reset before it loads
-downloaded the htc home plugin, htc home customizer, wizard dialer, kaiser tweak with the new xml file from dec 2007, and i have a black theme and a san francisco bridge theme that i switch back to
now the problem is I CANT MAKE/RECEIVE PHONE CALLS/TEXT
one thing i notice is that the network or service it is using (G, E, or 3G) is mostly on E and that is when i cannot make make or received calls or text, even with full bars. i've never had this problem before until about a week now
the last thing i did to my phone was download the new dec 2007 xml file for kaiser tweak. the phone worked fine for about a week until my problem occured
the only time i can get my phone to work is when it is in 3G or G and i rarely see those being used on my phone.
i've tried clear storage a bunch of times to see if it would change but it doesnt
i believe this isnt a network problem because everyone in my house has att, i can only thing its a phone problem
if anyone has any solutions or comments please help me out
i've had this phone since thanksgiving so worst case scenario, i turn it in to htc to get a new one
thanks
anybody ever run into this problem or anything similar with their tilt?
Did you allow the network config tool to run after the first reset? Are you using a custom rom or the default?
what radio are you running?
im not sure what the network config tool is and im using a default rom
im not sure what radio im using, how do i got about finding out what radio im using?
If you don't mind losing all of your data do a hard reset (hold the two soft keys and press the sytlus in the bottom of the phone) Go ahead and set up the device...once this is done a dialogue box should pop up saying something about Autoconfig will take place, or something like that. Let this proceed all on its own...it should after its done ask if you want to soft-reset now, select yes and you should be in business.
what are the two soft keys?
and also..does it matter if i have a simcard in the phone or not?
is the 'clear storage' the same as the hard reset?
hard reset is to hold the two soft keys and the stylus button on the bottom
what are the two soft keys?
Clear Storage essentially is, but mentally for me its different . In any event the soft keys are the unmarked keys directly to the right of your green call button and to the left of the red end button. After autoconfig/customization takes place...it probably will load all the crap back on the device, just FYI. If you truly want to get rid of stuff, you'll probably want to start researching ultra-clean roms, but from the sounds of things you're not quite ready to get into that yet, and you can screw your device if you don't read up on things properly.
i've done the hard reset and let everything load after that..i have all the att bloat ware..but i didnt see a autoconfig for the network
im still having the same problem
my service/network only works on E, whenever it is on G or 3G, its one bar and when i try to call or text, the phone disconnects and goes to E
any other advice?
Hmm, how old is your sim card?
I had the same problem. I had a few 3rd party applications installed. I called Att, they tried calling themselves with obviously no luck (busy signal, or straight to voicemail). I took out the sim card and tried my 2 year old phone and it worked fine. They sent me a replacement 2 days ago and it has been working fine since.
my sim card is about 2 years old i think
it looks like im gonna have to get a replacement
thanks for your help guys
I'd try a new sim card first...had a similar problem with my kaiser at first, but not quite the same. It may save you the days of a non-working unit. Sim cards are free and quick (just go to your local att store)
i used a friends sim card..same thing
i tried calling att TWICE and they said it might be a network problem and told me to call back later???
its obvious i need a new phone
who should i contact and what should i do..im trying to return my phone to get a working one

How long have you had your phone?
If it is under 30 days, go back to an AT&T Store (even if you bought it via phone or online) they will exchange it for you. If you don't have an account, MAKE SURE you take your receipt. If you are an AT&T customer you don't even have to bother with the receipt, they will just look up your account for you.
If you are an AT&T customer (may also apply if your not) and have had your phone over 30 days, then you have to call warranty exchange department. 1-800-801-1101
They will go through a few steps with you, then will make arrangements to send you out a new phone.
BEWARE:
Make sure you have LOTS of free time when you call, you WILL be on the phone forever lol.
I am on my 5th Tilt, I hope you have better luck than I have so far
*BUMP* I recently came across the same problem and I am only able to send and recieve text messages. I can not recieve or send calls but I get a new voicemail notification when 1 is recieved.... HELP!!!
I just messed up my rooted G1 about some hours ago trying to install the HTC Hero theme cos apparently I updated to JF US instead of ADP.
So I went to factory reset it. But apparently, T-Mobile's got this new thing going on. If you factory reset it, T-Mobile wipes all the APN's from your phone and won't allow you to add new ones, thus rendering your phone service-less. (You get stuck in the android/googleaccount login screen with no way of signing on since you have no service. I fixed it by using the Camera+Power button to update my DREAIMG.img back to RC29, which evidently has every single APN.)
Luckily, I somehow got onto the home screen with ONE SINGLE APN, I get into the wireless settings and try to add new APN's, but everytime I save a new APN, it doesn't actually save; it gets deleted.
So the problem is, I'm stuck with one APN;Edge and I can't add more.
I've tried re-rooting but without using factory reset (Alt+W in recovery startup) and just skipping straight to installing update.zip, you'd get stuck at the flashing ANDROID screen.
So you see my problem? I'm currently connected to Wi-Fi since I'm home and was lucky enough to have that one single APN (which took me almost 30 minutes to sign in with due to it being Edge) but I'm going to need more then Edge once I leave any reliable Wi-Fi zone.
I read somewhere on xda that someone found the apn file/list, I'm not sure where it was but it was definitely there and he code-boxed it. Would taking that file/list and pushing it into my G1 recover my APN's or wouldn't it?
If it would, can anyone try and upload a copy onto rapidshare or the similar, please?
Thank you.
There's a lot of builds right now that allow you to skip google sign in. The APN list is located in Dream General. it's a sticky Try CM3.6.1 it allows you to skip google sign in. Skip it and then modify your APN's according to the APN List in dream general. See if that helps
I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem I am now having.... Today I reset my NC to factory defaults ( home+power+Vol up ) I started to re-register my device. I connected to my network and the internet just fine. When I entered my email and my password then clicked on 'submit' I get an ERROR screen that says unable to complete the setup proccess. Please shut down and try again.
Well I did that 8 times untill I got the 8th reset (factory clear data) and still I can not register my device. I called Tech support and they said to shut off and wait 24 hours then try again !?? odd .. but ok.
*shrug* .... any thoughts ?

If it still happens after a reflash, go back and exchange.
same thing happened to me tech support didn't even stay on the line to make sure it worked... I suspect the device is still 'registered on their network. I even tried creating a new account. I'm gonna let it sit for a day, but I dont think that's gonna do anything personally.
Yeah Tech support is really a joke. They don't know much about anything. We (us xda members) know more about this device then they do. Anyway you are right .. I got mine working and it was due to it still being registered on their network and it trying to re-register itself. I finally talked the guy into deleting my account so I could set up a new one. All is fine now.

Hello All,
I purchased a Samsung Focus - i917 to use while over in Spain this year. When I first got here, carrier unlocked the phone, I bought a Yoigo SIM card, inserted it and imput the APN settings for their network. My WhatsApp worked fine, but nothing else worked, which I was fine with for the most part seeing as my social life survived just fine only using the WhatsApp. That was the first month. The second month, I started having problems with the Whatsapp, and I would need to shut down the phone once or twice a week to get the data flowing to that application again. Then at the start of the 3rd month, it stopped working completely, and I haven't been able to get it to work since. I it works fine with WiFi, just not with data. I even switched to Orange a couple months ago to see if that would have any effect, but to no avail. I am on the verge of buying a new phone, but thought i would post one last ditch effort here with you all in the hopes that someone might have an idea/know how to fix this problem.
I was thinking of trying to do an interop unlock, but I'm pretty tech-less, so I could just follow directions, but I would have no idea where to go from there, or what I was actually doing, or how I would solve the data problem if I was successful.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Hi, my father purchased a galaxy gs5 from a coworker and I have gone through a lot of bypass factory reset videos from YouTube and it still does not let me reset the device, as the person who he bought it from did not remember the email and password they used when they set it up.
I've used PNY flash drive, uploaded the file to let me get to the setting, then followe'd everything to the T. When I get to the final Reset Device button, i click it and NOTHING. Step dad keeps asking if I got his phone working yet. Still waiting on help from the World. He does not have a Smartphone. He has an old Blackberry, and wants to be able to join our world.
Please help.
