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!!!
dear friends
i have an at&t tilt.
i left u.s.a for a project about a month ago and i wanted to use my tilt here with a different sim card, i called at&t before i move and they gave me a code to enter to use my tilt but it didn't work.
i am just a user and i don't know how to work professionally with my cell and i started to read xda-developers to find out how to solve my problem and i found a thread about how to break the at&t code and use it with another sim card.in that thread mentioned several times that if you don't do it right you can damage your tilt and i really didn't want to brick my cell that is why i gave it to someone known as to be a professional in htc. he opened it and also changed its windows mobile to a htc version which i very nice and i can use it now but there is a very bad problem with it but this time i want to solve the problem myself.
the problem is sometimes (most of the time) it gets so slow that i have to keep pressing the surface up to 3 seconds to work (touch pad has got very slow) it is just like it is frozen but it is not it is just damn slow,very annoying it is just like it doesn't have enough memory or there is a problem with cpu or ... ?
i still don't have any programs on my cell. i reset it several times but it didn't help.
please help me
yours truly
ray
try using CID unlocker
Look at my previous post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3018622&postcount=12
First, forgive me for my english, im dutch.
The problem is, when i close/slice my phone, i have no service, or it displays that no SIM is inserted.. when I slice it, so its open, and i restart the phone (only the phone service, not a restart), my connection is good, with 3/4 stripes..
I have already cleaned my SIM, and ive tried it with a little piece of paper so it is fitting, but no result. another sim doesnt work either..
a very strange problem, isn't it?
Tnx for replies,
Joachim
Not a strange problem at all. The ribbon cable connecting your screen portion to your motherboard is going bad. Get yourself a new cable and viola, your phone=fixed.

Hi there!
Lately i got into this problem:my tytn intermittently recognizes my sim.In fact i tried several times to soft reset but got the same problem.The sim is not detected by my pda,tytn ii.
What should i go for?I looked up for some similar posts in this forum.I tried with the detailed solutions but nothing.I tried to put some layers of adesive tape but i can't get it working.I also cleaned the sim and the location where the sim is placed.No way.And yes i forgot to say that i used the same sim with other phones and work perfectly.What should i do?My pda is out of warranty so i'd rather find a more economic solution thanks.Ciao!
Anyone? Please need help!!!!
I tried reflashing another ROM but i still get the same problem.I remember that before it completely stopped working i could send an sms and then after a few seconds the connection automatically deactivated and when i tried to put it back on the commanager menu i got the message "no sim".
So i wondered if that was due to some software problems.That's why i tried to flash a new ROM.But nothing.Got the same error.What's that?How can i fix it?Pleaaaaseee
hello
If putting some layers on the sim card holder doesn't work, most likely there is a problem with flex cable that connecting sim card holder.
So, I guess the only (but not so economic) solution is you have to fix the flex cable.
I also had this issue few months ago, my kaiser was unable to read any sim card. After fixing the flex cable, my kaiser back in action
well, I spent 700.000 IDR to fix it, but I think its worth.
Hi.First of all thanks for your reply.Anyway i looked on google and i found that the 700.000 you spent to fix the pda are around 0.0777 US DOLLARS.is that possible?Isn't that really CHEAP?Is that around the real price you spent in Indonesia?thank you very much.Ciao!
oh, sorry,, in my country we use . to separate 1 and 0 in one thousand (1.000) its not a sign for decimals.
So it is 700000 IDR, around 77 USD hehe..
Hey! ahah yes it seemed really cheap.Incredibly.So yes here in italy maybe around 50-60 euros.I'll take my pda to some expert.See how much it will cost to repair it.Anyone who had the same problem andfixed it in another way?by hisself?Thank you.bye
Hey guys.I took it to the shop.In a few days they tell me what is about.Meanwhile is there anyone who fixed this problem in an alternative way?thanks dudes.Ciao!
I finally decided to upgrade from my Nexus 4 to a Z1, and I moved my Three UK contract SIM into the new Z1, it installed the internet & MMS settings and it was fine. But all of a sudden completely random the speeds will drop, the ping will go into the 800s and I can't really load anything on my device.
I'm really not sure what the issue is, whether it's a problem with the drivers, a problem with the actual antenna or if it's just an issue with the software.
I've just tried a factory reset and I'm still getting the same issues, it will be fine most of the time and then just deteriorate until I just can't load anything. The only thing that seems to fix this is a reboot or turning off mobile data and turning it back on again. Obviously this isn't acceptable when I've just paid this amount of money for the phone.
Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to flash another ROM in case I do actually send it back because won't it void the warranty? If not, how do I go back to stock if I have flashed another ROM?
When putting the SIM back in my Nexus 4, there's no issues at all as there wasn't when I used it before.
I'm really lost, I love this phone but it seems I may have to send it back... Help appreciated!
Contact Call Center of your Provider an tell them to give you the right settings for internet and mms, the settings installed automatically on Z1 not always work. They will send you an sms with the installation. I had similar problem solved with the sms.
