new member and tilt user

Hello everyone, I just got a tilt by AT&T and found this forum while searching for ways to improve/add missing features. I have not worked with this type of software before but hope to learn a lot (likely at the cost of some frustration). Any recommendations on how or what you have done to improve the phone? Thanks,

Just take out some time from your daily life and search Do not ask a question unless you're certain it hasn't been asked before. You'll be shun upon. I'm just saying take some time, search, and you'll be a pro soon enough.

thanks for the heads up. the search for improvement has begun, and will likely go on indefinitely.

But that was pretty deep info lol. It's like you get chocolate and you taste it to see if it's good or not then eat the whole thing in one bite after you're done and then you go to get more chocolate. lol.

I knew this site had underlying agenda...MALWARE COOKED INTO THE ROMS???
5 cents per ROM install
kinda like the people who release XP and Vista .ISO's with Malware preloaded so its untraceable
I knew a guy that was getting $1 an install and made close to $100,000

Psssh. This site is like drugs. Too addicting. But unlike drugs you can't not be addicted to it o.o

Here's a tip- MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING THE FORUMS FOR YOUR DEVICE AND NOT SOME OTHER FORUM.
you can tell i've made this mistake before.

Buying the phone, not on plan...help

Hi, I am currently on Tmobile (UK) MyFaves plan, with unlimited web 'n' walk. If I purchase the phone off ebay and use it, it should be fine, right?
Please confirm or tell me otherwise.
Thanks and Merry Xmas

Patience padawan, someone will when they have something useful to post. Shameless bumping will only serve to get your thread locked or yourself ridiculed.

Unfortunately, I needed the information quickly which is why I bumped, but I FINALLY got help at another forum

Perhaps you would have gotten a quicker answer had you posted your question in a T-Mobile forum and not a Phone Hardware forum...

There is no TMobile UK Forum, and as I am from the UK, US help would be useless

Customer service is just a call away and a MUCH better resource than a hardware forum.
Regardless though, don't get pissy when a hardware forum doesn't answer a customer service question.

GV invitation anyone?

So, I've been waiting for months and months, and really would love to use the Google Voice thing on my G1. Never used Grand Central.
The Google people seem way too slow and love to tease
Anyone can help? I'd appreciate very much..
TIA...

As of right now, I've not seen an option to invite folks. I got mine a few days ago via signing up on the Google Voice site. It'd been about a month or two since I had last signed up to test it. I've had numerous folks asking me for an invite, but unlike Gmail, I've not seen an invite feature. Guess you just have to be patient until Google picks you.

I'm a GC/GV beta tester, and one of the option's it shows in the control panel is Tell A Friend. I've never used it, and it's not very descript at all. I don't know if this feature will get you an immediate acct or just have you sign up to be notified whenever it does go out beta. I'll be glad to give it a try if want. Shoot me a private message msg here on XDA with your email address. It's worth a shot I guess.

where are you seeing that?
Been a GC/GV bet bunny since GC popped into existence. Never seen that option to "tell a friend". Maybe I don't really have any friends? Or maybe its new? where are you seeing that, under Settings?

I was one of the first to sign up and I got mine a couple weeks ago, it doesn't appear that I have any invites to share but here is the link from Google.
https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googlevoiceinvite/

Thanks a lot. I'll send you a PM. Whether it works or not, I do appreciate your help.
I tried to register for invites (2-3 times maybe, since March or so, with different email IDs) and now it's July and I still got none from Google!

use a @gmail.com id for ur email, they usally give gmail people it first i didnt get one yet though.

Yes I did... At least 2 different @gmail addresses... But 4-5 months is a bit long time and kind of frustrating... Esp. it could be very useful for my line of work (if the features they promise are true) plus would make my G1 phone more of what it should be...

I just got mine after 2 weeks

I'm in VoIP / 3G / satellite business and yes it's kind of a drug I guess. Especially I am addicted to my G1. I'll seek professional help, I swear.

I just got my invite on Thursday, applied back in March with a gmail address. I have been using PF Visual Voicemail and it's been great, but the Google service is clearly better for those us running most of our email/phone/messaging lives via Google. Hope you get your invite soon, it's definitely a winner!
Anyone know if a Google branded app will be released soon? The GV app is good, but I'd love to have another option as well.

I doubt you'll see Android integration anytime soon. What's bad about the GV app by Evan? It's pretty damn near perfect IMO.

Man, you're lucky! I hope that I can get one soon.

A quick update:
So, this morning I finally received the official Google Voice invite from Google.
Now, imagine my absolute joy and relief, that after waiting for it since March (!) I click on the link in that email only to see
"Google Voice is not available in your country.
Thanks for visiting Google Voice. We're not yet open for users outside the US, but are planning to expand our service to additional countries in the future. "

how to unlock verizon touch diamond?

hi, i have the verizon touch diamond, i have looked all over and cannot seem to find a way to unlock it so i can isntall a rom
i want to try a different rom, and how would i go about doing that?
thanks.

pm sent, not sure if I'm allowed to post links to other forums

I didnt think this was possible because the verizon diamond is different than the other cdma versions. Can you send me that link too?

I as well did not think they had one yet and were not working on one. Can I also recieve the link.

I would also appreciate it if you could pm me that link. As far as I know there's only an unlocker for the verizon touch pro

Has anyone received the PM?
I have been PMed by Cmonnex on PPCGeeks and she has offered to unlock it for us. Just needs some funds for a device. I am working on it but I have to wait till pay day for the diamond I got my TP2 and that is my focus right now.

What I meant was that my monetary focus is on the touch pro 2 as it is my new device. I have to wait till I get paid before I can donate to the Diamond cause. I donated to the Touch Pro 2 project. Definitly not an isult to you in any way that it could have been taken. I truely respect your work and wish I could do what you do. Thanks Cmonex!

ahh, cool that clarifies it. no worries and thanks for your donation

what is it you need exactly? i have the stock verizon diamond rom dumped,if this will help i will send you the 2 files. part 01.raw and part 02.raw

any update or another form?
so any update? or is there a thread at ppcgeeks that is more active? is there anything I can do to help?

I'm also very interested in this. I'm holding onto my Diamond at least until something comes out on the CDMA side that ditches the old Qualcomm garbage.
Is there anything happening with this? I know TP2 HSPL was just released, so I'm sure free time had been going to that. Any chance us lowly VZW Diamond owners could be next in line? Donations are in order, if so.

the update.
Cmonex is working on this and should be testing this in a week or so.

Thanks for the update. If you need any help testing, I'm happy to be a guinea pig.

Thank you!
I don't believe it! I never thought this day would come. I was almost used to searching hours and hours through the threads only to feel like a conversation would be so close until some idiot would start giving us links to Sprint ROMs...

How's the progress going on an unlocker for Verizon's HTC Touch Diamond so we can install a custom ROM? I purchased the Diamond (it arrived today) under the impression that all these other CDMA unlockers for Sprint, Alltel, etc. Diamonds would work -- I was mistaken!
While I cannot donate my phone to the project, I would be more than happy to donate some cash via PayPal if an unlocker for VZW Diamond is made available.
Thanks!

Just an update on my end
I have not heard anything from cmonex that an unlocker is ready for testing I pm'd her this morning. Hopefully she hasn't gotten too busy.

Need to unlock your SIM T-Mobile users? Here's how!

FINAL EDIT: As many have noticed this thread is/has been very dead. First off, I tried to have someone on the mods to get this account of mine shutdown. That did not work as you can tell, but when that did not work I decided to just ignore this whole thing all together Second, this operation was not a man job as I was simply a middle man for a woman who wanted to help people but needed a hand. I was simply taking the info and spreading it to her. As popularity grew in the thread more and more requests came in and queue times were going to take longer and longer to fulfil. At some point I decided to give her access to my account because I was getting busy at my job and had no way to constantly upload new information to her so we could continue. This would give her a way to look into my messages and gather some info when she had her own time. I have no knowledge of what happened since, except for a few replies I would see that she made with my account. I would imagine over time she finally stopped or got caught since this thread and my messages are finally dying off. I do apologize if you were not helped but thankfully someone at some point during this period offered help in their own way too. So, THANK YOU GUYS for all the patience you gave, and I hope you guys enjoy the root or unlocked bootloader that you got because of this post.

I got mine this way too and there was no pressure for any kind of payment or anything.
It's not like that.

That's my favorite part about all of this! She doesn't try to pressure you into any donations or payment! It's fantastic honestly. Now I have to wait either for the token, or for the msm tool to be cracked for tmo conversion.

True hero right? hahah
I love to watch how people come together for things like this.
We need more of that in the world... Just taking a little of your time to make someone else happy.

She is wonder I didn't need mine unlock but she was willing to do if needed ?

Not that I wouldn't want to do this as I prefer root on any device I have, but as someone who used to work for tmo if she gets caught she could definitely lose her job. I agree with the others you should probably take down the post

She isnt doing anything against policy, T-Mobile reps have a lot of leeway with regards to the unlock policy, I have gotten 'manager overrides' to unlock for basically every single tmo device I've ever had since the note5. All I've ever had to do was call customer care. Although this time I pm the aforementioned user because I didn't want to wait on hold until I get a rep that would finally understand how to get it done.

Yea I get that it's a gray area, but on the other hand better a voluntary 'donation'to an individual than a high payment to some shady unlock site :/

Or simply waiting for the patched MDM tool and convert to international so you can unlock bootloader without needing:
1. TMobile
2. Unlock key

I understand the views behind the idea of donations. It was never mandatory. If you don't wish to, you don't have to. Simple as that. Either way it's someone going out of their way in our community, to help us out. They at least deserve a thanks of any kind.

Hey everyone!
So I did not realize how much attention this would get. SO, in an effort to help out everyone but keep this a little more low key PM me your phone number and last name! All of this info will be sent to the user for the unlock to go through.
This is both to benefit those with the Tmo variant of the device and keep the user responsible a little more safe and secure. If you have questions please feel free to PM me and ask away!

Thank you. Respect to you for respecting them.
Did you delete the other post that I quoted you on? I tried loading it and it just said "fetching page" forever.

None of my PM's are going through. Would you please message me so I can provide you with the name and number.

Disregard - a T-Mobile rep manually whitelisted my IMEI via Facebook chat, so I was able to SIM-unlock.

Dre is 100% right. My wife is a supervisor in a TMobile call center and the user doing this would 100% lose her job if caught. There is a big difference between getting an override from a supervisor and going into someone's account the way she is. Due to Port out fraud T-Mobile has placed many safeguards on accounts. One of those being pin number/password for the account. Going into someone's account without having it verified through T-Mobile's policy is 100% enough to get her fired no questions asked.
Don't get me wrong I think it's awesome that she's unlocking phones for people but the way she is doing it she would 100% lose her job if her name got out.

So for those who thought the Pm's did not go through... They did lol. I just woke up and updated the info for the person to unlock everyone's devices. Please note it may take some time, who knows how busy a work day could be for them. If it is any help, when I originally requested mine, I did so at 10pm (around then) and it was done the following day around 4pm. So thank you for all of your patience! I will be personally PMing all of you when each one is done.

I made sure a mod was contacted so they could get rid of anything with the previous links, or mentions of said individual.

just did mine, literally look an hour.

Yeah let me tell you. She is fast! A few errors for only 2 people that I know of so far. So they are looking into those. A few others did not show up in the system yet. So they are going to check tomorrow and I will keep you guys posted via PM about that.
