Ok, so after loading "RUU_Kaiser_ATT_WWE_1.60.502.3_22.45.88._07_1.27.14.09_Ship.exe" for a couple days, tweaking a few things and adding a few software packages...
Yesterday, after leaving my desk for a while with the phone on the desk and unplugged after recent sync with desktop....
I come back and find my Tilt is really hot and totally dead!
Later in the day, last night and today...I noticed that on some email notifications, the vibrate latches in and won't stop until I wake up the screen!
Anyone else seen this? Need to decide whether to restore to factory condition, retest etc...or send back as defective.
Cheers and THANKS!
this has happened to me several times, I finally went off and set email alerts off which is annoying. This also happened on my other HTC phone 8125
This has happened a couple of times for me too on the totally stock ATT ROM.
Annoying but, since it's always with me, it's never gotten worse than "annoying".
Same problem here, since I don't want to disable the vibrating alert I just send a mail to HTC asking for a solution.
Hope they'll anwser.
I'll keep you posted.
Percentages...
Hmm, with these numbers (already)...it is difficult to determine if this is a quality control issue with a small percentage failure. Need some more replies and a comment from HTC!
I'm already inclined to tell AT&T to send me another one, especially since this issue has been experienced with the ship ROM, and it is less than 2-weeks old.
Also original rom and I had the problem from day one.
It's night over here in Belgium, but I won't wait from an answer from HTC. First thing tomorrow I'll call the shop where I've got it.
I've had this a couple of times on my UK Vario 3. It actually happened today.
The problem seems to span different roms and batches.
pjam
I've also have this problem so like most people I disabled the vibrate notification which isn't a fix but better than having it none stop vibrate. Hope they fix this for the Vario III as well as Kaiser
solution from a HTC dealer
I just called the shop where I purchased mine, and first thing the guy asks, "do you really need the vibrating warning? can't you just use a sound alert or something?"
After explaining that I really want it to work as mentioned, he went to ask.
When he came back he tried to convince me that it's normal with WM6. It's a feature. When asked wheter it's normal it sometimes works "correctly" en sometimes it keeps vibrating, he answered it's strange but normal.
Explaining that the battery gets really hot and so didn't help either. He was convinced it's normal. But he gave me a number of HTC. Not a Belgian nr so I'll first wait for an anwer via email till this afternoon.
Anwser from HTC
I just called to HTC Europe, and the woman on the phone said "oh that's not good".
But a solution? I'll have to send it in for repair.
Still waiting for an answer on my email I send to HTC. And if I'll send it in for repair I'll first call again for a better anwser than "that's not good".
But sorry no real solution yet!
seems like this is getting worse and worse for us. I am experiencing the same issue. I have had the phone for about a 3 weeks now. The first week everything was fine. Then this sporadic occurance of the steady vibrate with new text and email messages. It seems like the first 2 vibrating pulses go through fine but it gets hung up on the last one. Full stock att ship rom here as well.
I'll get after AT&T for a replacement tomorrow (GMT -5) and post their response.
Well, not much to report except AT&T gave no fuss and new Tilt is "in the mail". I would suggest even those who are outside the "return for new one" window, get after HTC and/or their provider to replace any units with this "defect"...
Maybe threaten class action... Good luck to all.
I called back to HTC support, explained the problem again. Also said that I'm not the only one but they are not aware of the problem. I'll have to send it in for repair.
So I called the repaircenter, and it would take 2 or 3 weeks.
Don't want to send him in for so long, so for now I'll try to live with it. Still hoping for a bugfix one day.

did u walk into an att store? or make a phone call to customer support? In either case how did you go about proving this was infact an issue?
I called AT&T premier phone support from a shopping mall while waiting for my better half to shop...it took about 1 minute to explain the issue.
Basically, I told them my phone needed to be replaced because it was defective and explained the manifestation (sometimes when email alerts are set to vibrate, the vibration does not stop and if I let it keep going, it kills the battery fast and overheats the unit).
I further explained that I researched the problem online and that is appears a small percentage of users are affected by the issue so that it is likely a manufaturing QA issue.
I also suggested that they send me a new unit versus a refurbished one, at least the first time around. They responded, "Oh, of course we will be sending you a new unit".
It took another two or three minutes on hold for the order to be setup, and I had an email in my Tilt inbox before we disconnected.
Overall the experience was excellent.
Same problem here. Mine is a Hong Kong unit that is HTC branded. Using it here in Canada with Rogers.
Note: I have installed Blackberry Connect 4 as well for connection to my corporate email.
If an message comes in, it will sit there and vibrate like mad until I wake it up. For now, I've disabled vibrate.

sounds very much like the typical idiot you find in such places
is it just email notifications that are affected, or does it happen on all types of notification, ie sms message?
Good question...
Right now I'm running Dutty's Tilt Beta 2 w/ touch and all is good actually. It turns out that the phone ring uses only one vibration (long) and is followed by sound, where as my email uses 3 short vibrations only.
I'm more inclined to reach and answer the phone, than I am to reach to read an email, plus the email gets 3 chances to improperly latch the vibrate.
So, I don't know if it really is only email, or if email manifests itself as the culprit only because it happens more often.
Others may be able to confirm this.
I will say though, I'v had Dutty's running for 24 hours, and although the weekend email volume is much lower for me, I would have expected it to happen again by now.
The whole thing is crazy, sometimes it bothers the hell out of me, and other days it just gets forgotten or I assume it is a glitch.
All in all, I like the phone enough to keep it in the end, even with this problem. However, I still think the numbers on this forum are low enough that I have a decent chance of not experiencing this "bug" with my new phone when it arrives.
My diamond is intermittently not allowing me to make calls. I try to dial out to someone, but it just beeps at me 3 times. I dont understand it - all the while i can still send and receive sms. It has only happened in my bedroom so far that i know of, but i am getting 3g in here, so my reception cant be that bad can it? i have also moved to different rooms in the house. I had this problem with the original Orange Rom as well as the htc stock rom i have now!
I don't have an answer but I'll save you a phone call to HTC support.
HTC: Thank you sir, may I have your name and number in order to help you to the best of our capability and your satisfaction.
jimmeh1988: Uh, sure, I just gave it to the other person but anyway... It's xxx-xxx-xxxx.
HTC: Thank you sir, may I call you Jimmeh? What brand of phone do you have.
jimmeh1988: It's an HTC Diamond.
HTC: Thank you sir. Let's see, <reading their manual> Yes sir, will you please take the back cover off sir?
jimmeh1988: Okay, done.
HTC: Take the battery out of the phone and wait for 15 seconds.
jimmeh1988: Okaaaaaay.
HTC: Now, sir, what do you see?
jimmeh1988: Well, my phone appears to be working but when I make a phone call, about every 3rd phone call, I simply get 3 beeps.
HTC: Sir, would you mind if I placed you on hold?
jimmeh1988: Sure...
HTC: Sir, have you made sure your phone is on when you made the call?
jimmeh1988: Well, yeah, duh...
HTC: Would you mind if I placed you on hold again?
jimmeh1988: Whatever...
HTC: Sir, I've talked to another tech and they said they've never heard of that either. Have you talked to you phone service provider? They may be able to help you.
jimmeh1988: No, thanks, I'll figure it out myself.
HTC: Other than that, have we supplied you with a courteous and helpful phone call sir?
jimmeh1988: <click>
Seriously though... HTC's service is second to none. I was just messin' around.
Have you tried switching to EDGE and see if you have the same results.
Does it do it anywhere else other than your house?
If so, you may just have something defective in your phone and you'll have to send it in.

Well i best try orange first thing in the morning then, if i am gonna get this from HTC.... I was just wondering if anyone else had had issues with this? its only happened in my bedroom - so i cant say it wont happen anywhere else?
Guys please maybe this time you'll help me, i think I saw somewhere on the forum this problem but can;t find it now. The problem is when somebody's calling me and I pick up the phone I have to say HELO, HELO few times and there is no answer from the other side. This delay lasts about 2 - 3 second from the picking up the call.HOW to hear the caller right after pressing answer button????? I'm starting to loosing my nervous to this phone-even the worst crap for 10$ doesn't have so many problems with BASICS things like calling,texting -as this toy for 500$ ....
I guess I'm again the only one with this. If U don't know how to help me just write you've got the same to make me fell not the only one that have that issue
Same Problem
Yes mate,
i do have the same problem.1.93 rom
Same here.. Hello? Hello? Hello, oh - yes - now I can hear you. Happens all the time with my phone.
Yep same with me, and my bro's HD
Try picking the phone after 3-4 rings .. may be that'll help cut down the delay.
I was working last night when someone called my cellphone. Being at work, I couldn't take the call right away and left it go to voicemail. The voicemail said it was a state farm insurance agent calling about a claim I put in and left a phone number to call. Not having put in a claim with state farm in years, I called back to inform them that they had the wrong number and to not call me back again. When I called the number, I got a recorded message that said "d241 test successful" then disconnected.
Googling the message I can't find much info about it. Anyone know anything about it?
All I can say is check your bill to make sure it wasn't one of those ridiculously expensive 'fake' numbers
"I have gotten a call on my cell # every day for the last week. It is very disturbing & I want it to stop. When I dial it back & hear D241 test successful."
"I get calls from this number at least 10 times. This is really annoying!
They claim I owe them money for a "fraud" ad in a website."

I received a phone calls from the number 608-473-1870. I missed the call so I called it back and I got the message “D241 test successful” and that’s all it said i had to disconnect the phone because they did not hang up. There isn’t much information about this strange call so hopefully we can find more out about it

Could it be calls that are testing if a live user is on the other side of the line so that the list can be validated and sold to a sales company
First off I am on AT&T with an AT&T Nexus 6. Second I have encountered a new issue with this phone. I searched and found nothing like it.
Here's what my phone is doing. I received a text from a friend a few days ago. But only the message came in under a different friends name. Example, a one friend "John" said hey man did you see my new truck? I replied yeah it looks pretty nice. I then back arrow out of my stock messenger app and when I do "Johns" name changes to "Todd". Then " Todd sends me back huh?
Same thing when I send a message. I will send it to one person and my phone will change it to another persons name.
I have had this problem stock and on custom roms.
Is anyone else experiencing this sort of issue?
@konaman,
This probably won't help you, but I'm on AT&T with branded N6 and I've never had nor heard of a problem like yours. Not sure what to tell you....
Yeah I haven't either but this is a really big deal, privacy wise. I'm going to sit down tonight and record myself texting until I can get this to happen again. I got a text from a friend named Mike once and we replied to each other several times and the message went to another person at the same time. It is very weird and annoying.
Another annoying problem I have is my phone will hang up on people when I either answer a call or call someone. As soon as I or they begin to speak, click. It hangs right up.
I have never had so many problems as I have had with this phone. I'm about to give up on it.
