Ongoing issues that need to be resolved - If you respond to any of these before you write any response PLEASE put the issue number at the top of your post, because this thread is going to get very large fast and this will help keep it somewhat organized, thanks.
#1: I have tried everything but can dump the time & battery icon off the title bar without alignment problems. Anybody find a key yet? Are we stuck creating new icon templates in black to save us from the alignment issue? Or has someone found a key to compensate the alingment loss from removing both time & battery status icons?
#2:Does Video Share work on the Tilt if you have an HTC ROM on it and are connecting with a Video Share enabled phone? (obviously this will only be applicable for people who live in the selected 3G networks for which Video Share is supported)
#3:When I make/recieve a call, and I try to access the top bar (start button) the top bar locks up. if I try a shortcut button to IE for example, IE loads but just says connecting... if I hangup the call, it redoes the 3G connection (it was 3G before I was on the call) and the IE works.
BUT the top bar is locked up. Start/3G icon, etc doesn't click. Only the "X" will work until I do a reboot.
#4
The "Buttons" setting only allows me to change the short press settings for 5 buttons. Elsewhere on this forum, there are instructions for adding the PTT button for both short press and long press, by adding registry keys 40C6 and 40C7. Can I add long press entries for other buttons?
Update!: According to HTC support, this is currently impossible. Sorry. (thanks deathace)
Update #2: Vito Button Mapper also enables push and hold functionality for the standard buttons (not PTT button) using the Start, Settings, Button Mapper. Also allows for customization of the soft buttons based on running application. Got to say that while Vito Button Mapper works, it's not that WM6 Pro friendly. In other words it works, but has some issues with icon display and uninstall. Hopefully HTC support will get their act together. (thanks Jim_R)
Update #3: Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.1 also allows for remapping of keys w/hold functionality, including PTT and works with WM6 (thanks _Alex_)
#5
Is there a way to choose radio frequency besides using Bandswitch? Meaning the setting would show up in the Phone Settings menu that allows Band Selection. Perhaps there are some registry edits out there?
Here is a cab file that replaces "PhoneSettings.Dll" with the one from the Rogers Canada Tilt Rom. and enables the Band Tab. You will be required to reset your phone after installation.
#6
There have been issues regarding connecting to WEP encrypted networks...if anyone else knows of these issues and a possible fix, please contribute...whitelisting the MAC address on the router has already been attempted (and failed).
This post has been moved and temporarily stickied.
Please be sure to visit the Wiki. Most of your questions can be answered there regarding the Tilt.
The previous thread, "The thread to address ALL TILT-specific questions" has been unstuck, but can still be used if required.
Have fun!
HTC steaming media seems to work on the TyTN II but not the tilt. of all the posts that I've read, and googled, only 1 person has said that their tilt works with streaming media is working, but not fully with every site, just a few. TCPMP with ytpocket seems to be the closest thing to a band aid. but this ony gets you youtube, not the other sites that work on a TyTN II with HTC SM.

Okay, Here's the deal. HTC streaming media is for RTSP files only. That means Pocket YouTube. Yes it works in the US, but you have to have the correct ID/User Agent for it to work correctly. Basically the Streaming Media Player is a license of Real Player. All stock Tilt have an EXE called Real.exe in windows directory. If you open it, it's the same as Streaming Media Player, Has the same Icon as Real Player, & the about screen calls it HTC Real Player.

errrrrr. If you flash the identical ROM on a TyTN II and a Tilt, how are the files in the windows directory any different?
I think you misread what I typed.
OK, after serching in many forums, i found that the problem is:
"When the device is protected by a password (Start/Settings/Lock), the start menu freezes after ending phone calls. In addition, the backlight turns off.
This only happens if the phone call is long enough (more than a few secs) for the display to turn off during the call. This is to prevent accidental button presses. When the phone call is ended the display should come back up, however, this is where bug seems to manifest itself. Somehow the password protection gets in the way and turns the display off and freezes the start menu.
The reason why this is serious (especially for business users) is that when you use MS exchange sync, many businesses enforce policies requiring a device password (common & recommended practice). This means that the option of turning the device password off does not exist. Therefore, using exchange sync (with security policies enforced) and making phone calls does not work."
So, acording to this, there are two solutions:
1º Sinple turn of pasword protection if you don't need it;
2º (found in modaco) Change a registry entry:
\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplay DuringCall
From "1" to "0" will stop it but be warned if you arent using a headset then the touch sensitive screen will be in operation throughout the call so you may end up with your ear triggering applications etc...

HTC Kaiser QuickGPS Fix (Error solution)
Just import this .reg file into your Kaiser registry:

Nasty Camera
My phone works ok I guess and I am pleased with it. But I miss not being able to take photos with it. I used my TYTN all the time primarily as a mobile video station and a camera. But this KAISER is a complete mess when it comes to taking photos.
My point is, can someone tell me how to turn off the auto focus is thats the problem or does anyone have any idea how to speed up the lens to capture time. It takes forever to set its focus. Oh, and don't start me on video capture as that IS the joke of the century.
I can't believe what a step back this KAISER is in comparison to its older brother the TYTN. I expected this phone to at least take a moderate picture. Why on earth is the 2nd camera better (VGA) than the 3MP main camera. It is completely crazy.
I digress and am off to cry now.
Hi all,
may I know if anyone had face this problem. Whenever we receive an SMS, it pops up as a notification at the bottom of the screen. But the notification normally have 2 options: Normally, reply/view on the left and menu on the right. For the left option, sometimes it is "reply" and sometimes it is "view". Is this normal? How can I change it to permanently as "view" only?
Thanks all in advance.

Hi eRic,
It is shown as "Reply" when your message fits the dialog box notification neatly. If it doesn't "View" is shown for you to read the full message. Hope this helps.
Hey, actually I have a problem synchronizing. I have been told that if a Kaiser is connected to a PC through Activesync, then the Kaiser could use the PC's Internet connection. And I think that is great, except mine won't. Instead my PC will try to use my Kaiser as a modem, even though it is already connected.... What can I do?

DoubleLauncher also includes similar functionality, but with even more options:
single tap, double tap, single hold, double hold, triple tap - 5 combinations per button - HTC may be right that it isn't possible with vanilla windows, but it is obviously possible to code something.
wifi vs AT&T
Sorry for asking a question that I am sure was already addressed (unfortunately I cannot find it).
How do I instruct my AT&T Tilt (Kaiser) to try to connect using WiFi when it is present rather then connect using AT&T GPRS, 3G whatever?
When I bought my phone in October, I got advice from Howard Forum to go to your site (http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...22&d=1191864241) to get a cab file. I did that, and it worked.
I had to replace my phone which was defective, and now I wanted to get the same cab file for the new phone but the link no longer works.
Your advice and help will be very much appreciated. If you prefer you can send me a private message to [email protected].
upgrade??
I was this close to jumping from the 8525 to the 8925 but advised not too: ATT rep says there are software and hardware issues that they are working on with HTC and IT guys say they've had issues as well.
What's the consensus here? is it worth the risk or should I wait a while longer for things to iron out?

Well, the Video Rendering sucks. All in all though, I have to say I really like the device. It's okay out of the box, but after tinkering & tweaking I have to say that I'm glad I moved to the Kaiser. The GPS is solid for me & after changing my DNS settings to OpenDNS the internet is fast. I tether a lot & get great speed on my laptop (when in HSPDA or 3G). Yess, there are some issues, but I think it's the best device around. I've had no problems with my Tilt or my TYTN II. It works really well with our Blackberry server & I get my emails fater on my device than on my pc.
The only issue for me again is the video. But it's mostly a work device for me, so vide isn't a big deal. Besides TCPMP playback is good enough for catching up on my missed episodes of House MD.
I'd say go for it.
Hi all,
I wonder if this is even consider a problem or bug. At the Today screen, there will be times when you are overflow with schedules. Then a scroll bar will appear at the right most of the screen(as shown below left). The scroll bar stretch all the way from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. Is it possible to change it to such a way that the scroll bar starts from the bottom of the Today plug-in to the bottom of the screen(as shown bottom right). Please kindly advice if this can be done.
Thanx
Cheers
eRic
You can use HHC (home plug-in config) to lock the home plug in. Then the scroll is just at the bottom. There is a registry setting to do the same thing, but I don't know what it is. The HHC is a great utility as you can back up the plug in and change the fonts and icons too.
OpenDNS
GSLEON, where does one change DNS settings to the OpenDNS settings? Thanks.
What can I do???
Hello all,
I am on my second Tilt now (on AT&T network) but I am still having voice clarity issues. Very choppy conversations at times, even when connected to a landline, but there are always at least 2 signal bars & 3G displayed. I have tried to disable the data before making calls, but so far I have seen no improvement. Could Active sync have something to do W/ my problem? It always seems to be running. Also, I am using the stock AT&T rom.
Any input provided pertaining to my issue is greatly appreciated.
Tobe
in HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCCPL there are a bunch of Applets,
1 thru 13, e.g. Applet3 is Backlight.exe.
On my Tilt Applet8 is MIA.
Does anyone have this key?
If so, what is it?
Just wondering if I've lost something . . . maybe something important . . .
I don't know, but there is an app in the Kaiser, available only when using the HTC Home Screen, that allows a single button to step the screen from low to high in 4 steps and back. I like that capability BUT I don't use the Home screen and have been unable to find any way to access this capability directly as I would REALLY like to have this feature assigned to a hard key for outdoor use.
I think Backlight.exe just calls up the normal brightness slider, unfortunately...
Update: Version 2 of this can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2905629
Hello,
I have always fumbled to get to the mute button on the phone screen while on conference calls and decided to look for a program to map to a hardware button to mute/unmute a call. I did not have much luck finding anything so I went ahead and wrote my own. This forum has helped me out tremendously in the past, so I decided to share my program here with the hopes that it can help someone else out.
I made the program fairly configurable. If a call is in progress, it will toggle the mute button. If a call is not in progress, it can be configured to run any other program of your choice (that way the hardware button isn’t wasted).
I did not write a configuration utility, so you have to configure it manually in the registry. Here are the registry details.
HKLM\Software\itsallwright\MobileMute
Options:
BringPhoneToFront = 1 or 0 (If 1 then it will bring to phone app into focus when it runs)
MuteSound = DialPadCtlKey (this is the system sound that is played when the program mutes the call)
PlaySound = 1 or 0 (if 1 then it will play the mute/unmute sounds)
RunProgram = 1 or 0 (if 1 then it will run the configured program if a call is not detected)
RunProgramPath = \somepath (path to desired program to run)
UnmuteSound = DialPadCtlKey (this is the system sound that is played when the program unmutes the call)
Config: (this is how it works – hopefully does not need to be changed, but can be for different devices)
ConnectedText = Connected: (this is the text that shows in the dialer when a call is in progress)
LastCallText = Last Call: (this is the text that shows in the dialer when a call is not in progress)
MuteButtonText = Mute (the text of the mute button)
MuteID = 0x53A0 (ID of the mute button – use spy program to get this)
PhoneWindowTitle = Phone (title of the dialer)
UnmuteButtonText = Unmute (text of the unmute button)
UnmuteID = 0x53A1 (ID of the unmute button – use spy program to get this)
I have tested this on my Kaiser with the default ATT WM6 ROM and on a friend’s Apache with an unknown WM6 ROM.
BTW - this is my first WM application, so don't beat me up too bad if it is not perfect
Enjoy,
Jay
This is very useful and should be posted in the general PPC software areas, why keep this secret for only those in the Kaiser forums?!
This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for...thanks!
Anybody try this on a titan/mogul/xv6800 yet?? I'll have to do some research to figure out my 'button ID', but it looks like it will be well worth it!!!
Excellent....
I have been looking for this functionlity of hard button mapping of call mute. I was hoping MS would implement a virtual key code for the mute function in the newer wm like for the speakerphone but never happened.
Thanks much itsallwright. It works perfect in my tilt. Now, I can use hard buttons for speakerphone & mute (long press green key and I have mapped PTT key for mute.) It was one of the most of useful things I was missing from my BB. Specially for that long conference calls where you have to occasionally say something and keep quite rest of the time.

That is a good point. It was developed for the Kaiser, but theoretically should work on any WM6 device with phone functionality (button IDs might change from device to device though). Unfortunately, I do not know how to move threads. Is it possible to move this to a better place?
Jay
Thanks a Million!
I have been searching without success for ages...more than 2 years for something like this. Search terms I used were "wm6 hardware mute button", "wm6 mute and speakerphone buttons on single dialer page", "assign hardware button for mute", "wm6 phone mute button on dialer", etc
Since there are not any apps to do this, I was attempting to use a combination of utilities (such as VJ Phone utils, AE Button Plus, Vito button mapper, etc) to try and get it working without any success. There does not even seem to be available paid non-freeware utils to do this most important function.
This certainly helps a lot. It works just perfect on my Cingular 8525 and I have the PTT button assigned to it with flashlight being the alternate application that will be used when not in phone mode.
Couple of suggestions:
1) This might already exist in some other utility, but I like your configuration capabilities and the way this utility sets up and it will be nice to extend it to have a speakerphone hardware button in a similar fashion. I guess I can do this on my own by making a copy of your registry keys and modifying them to the speakerphone code...will try and see.
2) When I am in the phone dialer with the keypad, and I press the mute button it switches to the alternate screen without the dialer numeric keys - only the mute, speakerphone etc buttons are available on that screen. Is there a way to make it do its thing without switching the dialer screen in this manner ? This is because I need to have the key pad ready when I either toggle from mute or speakerphone and back and I guess this will be most useful for people who are on conference calls all the time.
Thanks again for a wonderful must-have utility. Dialer developers and ROM cookers should consider having this standard part of distributions. Or give an option to users to have a single screen for the dialer instead of one for the keypad and another for the call staus. There is so much real estate on the phone screen that is wasted if a video call is not in progress and it can very well be used to have all the buttons on a single screen.

I am glad you like the app and that someone else will get some use out of it.

pvenkat stated above that he long presses the green talk key to toggle speaker phone. That seems to work well for me. Does that not work on your phone?

The reason it covers the keypad when you toggle mute it because the BringPhoneToFront setting is set to 1. Try setting it to 0 and it will not interfere with your windows.

Works Like a Charm
Thanks!
Life-changing app if you're on a lot of con calls.
Sweet app!!!
I was unable to install it with the instructions you provided...
But... happily, I was able to find a way around to do it
In case anyone is interested in the approach I took for the setup. Here it is:
My easy to do manual setup
1) Extract the .cab file contents (tools like winrar can do that)
2) rename the mobile~1.001 to MutePhone.exe (or whatever .exe name you want to give it)
3) Upload the exe to your phone to the directory where you want to place it.
4) Install Schap's tools - Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 released (Link)
5) Use the keymapping feature of the app to map a key to the MutePhone.exe. My personal preference was to map it to pressing and hold the send key (Long press Send key)
Have fun with the MutePhone tool. itsallwright really created an awesome application

Is there a way to just execute this and have it toggle mute/unmute without hardware mapping a key and perhaps without staying resident... or are there any future plans to allow command-line execution? -- I am trying to figure out how to be able to mute/unmute the calls from another app (mortscript) in order to eventually create an ad-hoc music-on-hold function. ;-)

Yes, that is how this version of the program works. When it starts, it will detect if a call is in progress. If so, it will toggle the mute button and then exit.
v2 is the one that stays resident to eliminate the delay caused by the program initializing. But it only stays resident if it can detect the hardware button used. Otherwise, it functions just like this version.
While writing v2, I found a couple bugs in this version. One being that the setting for button IDs is ignored. So if you need to change button IDs, get MobileMute_v2
Good Luck,
Jay
First post, here we go! http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif I've been keeping track of this site for quite some time now, found all the info I was looking for but this:
I have VoIP enabled on my beautiful Diamond, and am able to make phone calls (through the speaker on the top, but who cares, it works http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif), but I can't switch between VoIP and GSM if I have TouchFlo enabled as the link is on the Today Screen.
So I was looking for an application which could do the same, but could be linked to e.g. the Start Menu. Or - even better - an application which allows me to switch between VoIP and GSM from the dialer.
Couldn't find any app how could do such a thing, maybe the knowledgeable people here have some suggestions? http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
wish it's helpful...
one app called 'mtoday' may be helpful in your case. what it can do is to add a new Today panel to your device (then you will have 2 Today panels) and allow you to configue them independently (so you can keep TF in 1st Today and use normal interface in the 2nd). finaly, you can use it to switch between 2 Today very easily.
only things you should to do is switch to 2nd today and active voip (then you could turn back to 1st today as you like, voip will working well in background. once you want to turn off it, do the process again).
it works very well on my diamond, you can find this app by google (very easy). hope you enjoy it!
Specifications:
Unit: Sony Ericsson Aspen M1a (Different UMTS bands than those of the M1i)
Software ID: 1238-7064
Software Version: R1AB038
Customization ID: 1237 - 4794
Customization Version: R7A
Software Language: GENERIC_WWE
Content Version: PA6
Radio SW Version: 32.29.00.048
CE OS 5.2.3104 (Build 23104.5.3.4)
Major Cons:
Turn off backlight after 30 seconds turns off the screen completely. The X1 would go dim but the screen is still on. The Aspen turns off the screen. Maybe I got a lemon? Can any other Aspen users comment on this?
Incoming Calls: Unable to receive calls. The phone will be working just fine for days. Then suddenly, you receive one call, the phone and keypad will light up, but the home screen will not change to show the Caller ID/Actions screen. You will have to first reject the call, then go to the call register to see who called you and call them back. You can still make calls, but you can never receive any on any of the installed panels once the problem appears. Only a Soft Reset can fix it until it happens again day(s) later.
Bluetooth issues: disconnections, static noise, stuck at connected to headset mode even if headset was turned off.
Tested & Running Smoothly:
Opera Mini 5
Opera Mobile 10
Garmin Mobile XT
Bug: Splash screen and main menu don’t cover the full screen. A thin strip of the home screen appears below the upper status bar (clock, battery, volume, signal). However, Map View doesn’t suffer from the same problem; i.e. it covers the whole screen.
SPB Backup (Free download available for Aspen phone at wap.sonyericsson.com/fun/)
All my previously purchased Marketplace applications for my dead X1i.
Windows Live Mobile Version 11.x
Bug: Hotmail Email checking from native messaging application doesn’t detect Wi-Fi connections. Solution: Sync Email via the Sync function built in the Windows Live application or sign into Windows Live Messenger Mobile before attempting to send/receive messages.
Skype Panel: Pulled from the website mentioned in 4, comes preloaded on M1i. Thanks for U.b.o.o.t for uploading the Cab file for me. Tested and running perfectly on the M1a. Panel based on Skype for Windows Mobile Version 3; SMS texting from Skype account to cell phone numbers is available.
On-the-Road Panel
Pros:
The panel now supports choosing any of the installed applications as the default Maps (Navigation) application.
Speedometer works without having to press the “track” button. In the X1 version of the panel you had to have an active track recording for the GPS section of the panel to display current speed. Kind of neat but also means that your GPS chip is powered on, which means more power consumption.
Cons:
Apparently, Night Mode is somehow bricked by the Power saving features of the Aspen. The phone turns the screen off after 30 seconds even if Night Mode is ON. It doesn’t, however, power off the device or send it to standby; i.e. you can wake up the screen by pressing any button not necessarily the Power button.
Playback is bricked! Player stops at the end of each track. Play/Pause button shows “Pause” graphic, as if the player is still playing, when the track reaches its end and player doesn’t move on to next track. Clicking next takes you to the next track but it will be stopped. You have to press play to start playing again. Disabling File System Caching, increasing cache size to max (8 Mb), deleting On-the-Road Panel cache files, soft reset, three Master resets and uninstall/reinstall don’t fix the problem.
hi, I think you have posted in X1. But I think it's ok because I can see that XDA don't have M1 forum.
I like M1 model. As usual SE phone, it's beautiful phone. But I'm just afraid SE will be creepy again like its previous WM phone so I cancel my idea of buying M1. Let me answer what I know to your questions.
[*]Incoming Calls: Unable to receive calls. The phone will be working just fine for days.

To my experience in XPERIA, X2 has problems in its dialer. I don't know if it will be working in M1 but may I suggest you a dialer application? There's a plenty of dialer, i.e. Iconsoft PhonEx but it's paid. I think there're other dialers which is coming free. Maybe you can make a googling.

It is happened to all WM6.5.x, not only Aspen. Because the Garmin Xt (I suggest the 5.00) isn't designed to WM6.5.x but WM6.1 and WM6.5 which its taskbar is bigger than WM6.5. Solution maybe you can try other navigation applications. I haven't checked for TomTom or NaviGon.

Play/Pause button shows “Pause” graphic, as if the player is still playing, when the track reaches its end and player doesn’t move on to next track. Clicking next takes you to the next track but it will be stopped. You have to press play to start playing again. Disabling File System Caching, increasing cache size to max (8 Mb), deleting On-the-Road Panel cache files, soft reset, three Master resets and uninstall/reinstall don’t fix the problem.[/LIST]

I suggest that is another SE problems, just like X2, the SlideView isn't working well. I can suggest you to remove the SlideView by deleting the files and registry manually. Or you may disable the SlideView from startup, if iy's about the same with X2, the registry location is HKLM/init --> look for launch199
tap it and delete the registry inside.
Thanks, ideas and more questions!
Hi Russell. Thank you for all the tips and solutions you offered.
As for why I posted in the X1 general forum, it's mainly because I was an X1 user until its Tx/Rx Power Amplifier chip died on me. I only use it as a PPC now. I thought the thread could be helpful for current M1 users on XDA (and they are growing in number) as well as for X1/X2 users who are considering a migration (I can't call it an upgrade really) or those of them who are just curious, since the software is identical.
Here is my reply to your solutions and suggestions:
The Incoming Call problem: It doesn't seem to happen if you're using the Sony Ericsson Panel! A good solution too will be disabling the XPERIA dialer on the M1 and using the default WM6.5.3 dialer. I will give it a try.
Garmin Mobile XT: Thanks for the explanation. I recently purchased Garmin City Navigator Maps for the Middle East and Northern Africa NT, investing US $100, to use them on my phone. The application itself is running flawlessly and has all the features that I need (trip computer, flight status, weather, etc...) so I will just keep it. A work around for the problem will be launching Garmin from the Sony Ericsson Panel. The black background will make the strip black and you will not notice any discontinuity. Using a black background on your Today screen won't hide the problem though; the text showing the date will still appear.
Did you notice that I was talking about the Music Player in the "On-the-Road" Panel and not Slideview? Slideview is working just fine on my phone. In fact it's perfect with no bugs whatsoever. It's the player found on the second tab on the "On-the-Road" Panel that is not working properly. I thought about this yesterday; maybe uninstalling Slideview will fix the problem, since the system is using it as the default media player. I have two suggestions regarding this issue:
A workaround will be using Slideview to play music. But then again, just like its elder sibling, The Media Xperiance Panel, Slideview doesn't recognise multi-disc albums; i.e. it doesn't play tracks from a multi-disc album in order. It plays one track from the first disc then one from the second then goes back to the first and so on (i.e. 1-01 > 2-01 > 1-02 > 2-02 >...... 1-n > 2-m) instead of playing disc 1 first (1-01 > 1-02 >.....> 1-n), then disc 2 (2-01 > 2-02 >.....> 2-m).
The player in "On-the-Road" Panel on my X1 recognised multi-disc albums and played them in order. I don't see any reason for SE developers changing the playback section of the code for the M1 version of the Panel. But then again, now that the Panel supports choosing any of the installed programs as the default Map application, there is a possibility that the code received a comprehensive overhaul.
Is there a way to force Windows Media Player as the default media player? A registry setting maybe?! Because I am guessing that the panel player is calling Slideview with a wrong parameter or a parameter that is only valid for Windows Media Player and that's what is causing the panel player to freeze at the end of every track? Or maybe it's still calling Windows Media Player but somehow Slideview has crippled it?

Hmmm, i don't realize that Garmin is that Expensive. I live in Indonesia and there're developer who offer the map of my country for free and I have the Garmin XT salvaged from my previous O2 XDA phone.
Sorry I might be confused about the SlideView because it's pretty long thread. For X2, yeah there is away to force the phone use WMP as default. All you need is disabling the SlideView from startup using registry, then use an application(s) like Resco File Explorer, SKTools and many other apps... and then set every multimedia files which is associated to SlideView, to WMP.
Aspen is very fast wm I ever use.

Sony Ericsson Aspen Touch Screen Problem
Does anyone knows how to solve this?. My Aspen's touchscreen is not working ,it does respond to touch but it only lights up the screen and things are not moving. Now i am using my keypad. Or are there any alternative if the screen cannot be repaired? like a keypad friendly UI or cursor controlled by the keypad?
Never yet had touchscreen problems although the touchscreen on the Aspen isn't the most responsive I've seen. I've heard there are quite a few problems with the Aspen, have you tried the SE tech support?
Anyone managed to install TCPMP on the Aspen? The old version I had which worked fine on 6.1 doen't want to work on Aspen's 6.5 and neither does the latest beta 0.74.
Can we expect a CFW for Aspen, they sony presented OS is so buggy. Please anyone having the skills please make it for Aspen. I'll be the tester if required.
My Aspen M1i is stuck on boot logo. after that only the backlight is on nothing else.
