Just got my Tilt - What would you do first - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I just got my Tilt. First I am going to hard reset and remove the AT&T bloatware. Then I am going to Install the HTC Home page. Next I am going to reasign the PTT button. Next, I am enable the 'H' icon and GPS photo. What else should I do/install? Any ideas are appreciated.

what about settings?
If you do this, will you lose all your AT&T settings (e.g., wap, etc)?

I have read that you do not lose the setting for wap, proxy, etc. I saw that you just lose the add programs. Has anyone done it? Did you have to add setting manually?

Yeah I did it. After the hard reset and the reset when it said it was going to apply the AT&T changes, I had to do this to get it to make calls, connect to the internet, and send text messages:
Nothing
All the settings are already there for connecting to wap.cingular etc right out of the gate, and none of that extra trial software garbage.

So let me see if I will be doing this right.
Hard reset the phone
when the phone says '..customizations will begin in 3 seconds...'
I press the reset button.
After it resets I should let it apply the AT&T changes.
Is that correct?

this is what i did. after i reset w/o the att bloatware.

Skip all that nonsense and just unlock and change over to the HTC ROM. IF I can do it ANYONE can do it. You'll be SOOO happy you did. The HTC ROM listed on the website I've found is faster (especially with camera function), less (read: none) bloatware, and prettier. Keyboard and PTT button fixes are included.
Then install agile, opera, TomTom... done.

what website? i installed hardspl and tried running the kaisercustomruu but no luck gets com error. any help on flashing this phone to htc would be appreciated.

Just load the HTC Rom, it is good. About the network it will automatically update to AT&T. THe only applications you might lost is Cingular application like XM radio, Cingular vidoe.... You can always install via CABS you find @VP3G.
That is what I did. HTC runs pretty smooth... It is faster than the 8525 original. So far so good with 2 days on usage..BBC, GPS, Wifi, pursh mail, SMS..etc. no problem.

If you load the HTC Rom, will you lose your warranty with AT&T?

What's the difference between the "H" and "3G"? And if they are different how do you enable the "H" icon.

Yeah you will. And IMHO everything you'll get from the HTC ROM you can load onto the stock AT&T one using cabs. There's so much memory on this sucker I'm not even really worried about bloatware right now.
Yeah I'm looking forward to a good cooked ROM, but I think I'll wait awhile (probably near the end of my warranty period) before I do that. Especially since experimenting with this stuff right now is almost like beta testing ... The first HARD-SPL for this has just been released and personally I'd much rather wait until it is tried and tested before I do anything risky. AND since this sucker is so new, my guess would be that it'd be highly unlikely that you could revert back to factory settings to get warranty service if you do flash another ROM at this particular point in time ...

-Uninstall everything that came with it.
-Redo the Program icons
-KaiserTweak and adjust settings (no SMS confirm)
-TomTom (grab from a torrent site)
-AGPS registry change
-Skype
-Browsers
--MS Deepfish
--Picsel
--Opera Mini (create direct shortcut with Resco)
-TCPMP and FlashVideoBundle for Youtube access
-Chartcross GPS Test for GPS warmup
-HTC Kaiser Dialer + 3G-Batt Icons (vp3g's 3.5/3.6 addons)
-PocketNester + ROMs (haven't gotten 100% but I'm new)
But then again I've only had it 3 days and 2 nights

3G icon indicates UMTS coverage. H indicicates HSDPA (and i assume HSUPA) when launched.

wow, HSUPA would be sweet, too bad unless you live in like chicago or newyork good luck getting it

Wow you have been productive! Can you please expand on this process with detail. Do you have youtube working in IE or Opera? I have not yet got youtube videos working on my AT&T branded device. I dug around quite a bit for flash for Opera 8.65 but never found something to actually download. Thanks.

Go to the sticky in the main part of this thread, the one titled "Essential cabs for kaiser" or something like that.
Download the HTC Streaming media player. You can get m.youtube.com to work through IE without any issue. The HTC media player associates the rtsp:// to itself and it will stream videos.

Yes but that's the mobile youtube site. I'm talking about the full youtube. IMHO the mobile site sucks because I can't see my favorites from the computer. You need TCPMP, .72 is preferred. And Skunkworks FlashVideoBundle is a plugin for FLV files. Basically you install TCPMP, then the plugin. Then under TCPMP settings you associate it with "Flash Video". I would also change the buffering settings to like 800kb, and 8% when underrun.
Completely optional, you can tell it to play automatically full screen, and exit TCPMP when done. So you just click a Youtube link, and it plays, and you're back at the site. Sweet, huh?
CABs attached.
EDIT: PIE is the only browser I can get this to work with, none of the other browsers I've tried will launch with the correct app.

Thanks so much for the details. I installed both cabs and it works but only on a small % of videos. The error message I get on many when trying to play is, "Video not available (may have been removed)." This is really getting frustrating.

I've noticed that, but only on videos that require birthdate confirmation. Stop trying to watch porn
There may be a solution in one of the threads for this. Not sure.

How bad is the IE bug?

Is IE unusable on the kaiser with the bug i hear about? I usually use the joypad for scrolling down, is it still the same?
Compared to the Hermes, how fast is the Kaiser at building pages up? On any big pages (eg. ebay) the Hermes really grinds to a snails pace and even when you think it's finished if you scroll down it's still (slowly) inserting images. Sometimes it can take nearly 60secs to finish showing an eBay page.
cheers, John
Which bug?
I use PIE with PIEPlus 2.2 and it works fine.
It is slow though, compared to my old Magician WM2003SE But thats obvious (WM2003SE is not flash based OS, no persistent-memory, thats why faster).
I am waiting Opera Mobile 9, which I am not sure will ever be released!
Duke Nukem Forever
I don't notice any difference with the Hermes. What bug are you talking about exactly?
By the by: opera mini beta 4 runs great on the Kaiser.

Yes it works, but the scrolling gets laggy once you have scrolled down a bit. The page download times are probably on a par with the TyTn. The Touchflo finger scrolling works better (once you get the hang of it).
Opera Mini works faster and scrolls OK.
Mike
Im not having any issues with PIE in general and I'm already getting used to the scroll feature. In fact I picked up my Trinity today and found it annoying when I had to use those fiddly scroll bars.
I wonder how it compares to the experience on the new iPod Touch?
I heard from a friend that the browsing experience on that was very intuitive - but then he is an apple nerd!
My bigger issue with the Tytn II is still the radio used. I am having real problems with the gprs/3G switch and both phone and internet connection have major problems coping when I am in 1 or 2 bars of 3G.
And I am still rarely getting a full 3G signal which was not the probelm with the later radios I have on my Tytn and Trinity.
I will try my Vodafone SIM tomorrow and see if it makes a difference.

this is the bug i was talking/hearing about.
With the extra power and extra chips I was hoping the page building issue would have truly gone, it's my biggest gripe with my Hermes. My other gripe was the poor video playback on my Hermes (which has improved thanks to many WM6 roms), I hear this hasn't improved much either. I think I'll wait until a new ROM or a new device...
Touchflo doesnt work with my installation of Opera Mobile (8.60). Would have thought there would be 20 million threads on it by now so am thinking its just me with the issue.
Is touchflo something that has to be written into third party software of should it would with anything?
Opera Mini is the Java version correct?
New ROM will not fix that because it will be still the same IE.
IE is just slow, that's all.
Try Opera Mini and enjoy the super fast browsing experience.
You will never look back to IE, trust me.

Yes, Opera Mini is a Java application.
But it is running fine and superb.
Here what I got it installed in my device:
1. Install JBED-JAVA_MIDLET_MANAGER.2007.08.02.2.1
Get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=49222&d=1188897204
2. Use IE and browse to mini.opera.com/beta
And follow the instruction to install it.
Note: Choose "High memory" version.
You are done.
Now, read this article below :
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...ed-includes-info-new-java-midlet-manager.html
You will be able to:
1. Make a shortcut to the "Programs" folder
Then using the "Settings->Button" you can change the IE softkey to execute this shortcut.
2. Get rid of the network security warning.
That's it

Phew! Took a bit of work, but worth it
All thats left is for it to be set as the default browser and take links from emails.
Cheers for that buddy.
The shortcut part just doesn't work for me. I use Esmertec and my shortcut based on what I see in the appsdb folder is
#30"\windows\jeodek.exe" -run s3_
Whatever I do it gives me the message - Could not find MIDlet suite s3_
The file in appsdb is s3_suite.jar. Even still, I tried from number s0_ to s3_ to no avail.
Hope somebody can help.

I get that same error - unable to find Suite 0 or 1 or whatever I put in.
Also the change in the selector file has my OperaMini still asking for permission. Any suggestions????
Thanks
Guys, I'm still getting the permission warnings as some other Opera 4 users are describing. I have done everything in this post including the selector.utf file. Has anyone figured out what might be causing this?

i could only get it to work witn Cloudyfa's JBed, not with the default JMM.
I finally got it to work with Cloudyfa's JBed. For some reason, JBed wasn't installed properly. It wasn't showing up and Remove Programs. I reinstalled it, reinstalled Opera, applied the shortcut/network warning fix, and all is working perfectly.
For other people having this problem, make sure JBed is showing up in the Programs list and in Remove Programs before you install Opera. Seemed to do the trick.
I will be doing all of this tonight, Thanks for the tips.
Same here, I too get the error message could not find suite s0_. The number is correct, but i noticed i dont have any .jar files in the appdb folder... Any ideas?
I also didn't have any .jar files in my appdb folder. I did see some files with s2_ extensions (eg. s2_.jah and _s2.obj) so I changed my suite link to s2_ and it worked. Once I got the link to work, I then copied the selector.utf file from appdb to my PC and ran the Fix.exe editor on it and copied it back to the Kaiser. Works perfectly with no more permission dialog, thanks so much for sharing!
My squence;
1-Install Jbed
2-Install Opera Mini and test to verify it works.
3-Create link in programs folder and test
4-Copy off selector.utf and "fix", copy back and it should all be good, with no more permissions required.
5-Map the program link to a hard key.
6-Crack a cold beverage of choice, life is good

I installed Real Player and now Cingular Video doesn't work!

So I installed real player hoping that I would open cingular video and be able to watch the clips full screen..... nope. It just tries to save the clip then it opens it in real player but says it's not a good link. I tried to uninstall but it didn't do anything..and then I just up and delted the ap and it's still got that setting in there. It still pops up trying to save the video file ...
Does anyone know what to do? I can't get any internet options cuz there are none. This just blows! Is there a application out there that will allow me to configure this thing or what?
I am assuming you have a working cingular video cab. There are some RealPlayer versions out there that don't work and give out errors like yours. There is no other option if you want CV then you have to use the RealOnePlayer and it will always ask you to download and play, annoying, but just how it is. Try downloading the RealPlayer fix in my siganture, I know that one works, and maybe even re-download the CV apps in there too. Make sure you instal CV first then the real player fix.
I too originally had this problem when I was using another ROM. If the cab file has realplayer and CV in it, it should work. You really can't load them separately as for some reason it will not work. The cab file that is in the 3.??? mb range should be the correct cab. I looked but could't find it in my slue of cab files.
Hey guys thanks alot for the responses. I found the CV cab file on your signature and I got it working again. I'm back where I started though on trying to get it to be full screen. I'm glad to at least have it back but would still love to find a way to make it full screen...then I've got something.
Thanks for having your stuff hosted for us all. It VERY much helped me. Hopefully others appreciate it as much as I did.
Someone has got to know a way to go full screen on CV. Esp landscape/tilted view. I mean I like to sit and watch it at lunch and it's so much better if I don't have to look strait down at it.
unfortunately there is no way to get fullscreen on CV, unless at&t decides to do it. Basically the video feed you are seeing is being streamed from them and only stream it to the size you see, i would assume probably because a fullscreen video constantly buffer and be annoying. too much to handle over an EDGE network, maybe in the future when everything is 3G

Flash in Opera Mobile

Hi Guys,
I'm having problems with flash when using Opera Mobile 9.5 beta, Opera Mobile 9.5, Opera Mobile old versions and Mini Opera. I can't seem to view anything on flash, I've tried seveal flash application e.g. Adobe Flash lite, Adobe Flash player from their website. The message I keep on getting is:-
"Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. If that doesn't fix the problem, do a hard refresh ( press 'F5' while holding down 'ctrl')
PLEASE HELP - Have I missed something in setting option apart from enabling JavaScript?
Can someone please share with me a 100% compatible flash app with Opera Mobile?
From what I gather, this is a problem with any Opera and IE. But they say Skyfire is going to solve this. But you have to go on the waiting list to get it.
But..., if someone has a solution for this issue, I would love to know.
Let me refer you to the Opera Mobile site:
http://www.opera.com/press/reviews/mobile/
At the bottom you will notice "ActiveX is disabled — Flash plugins and embedded video streaming do not work." in the Known Issues list. You aren't having problems - flash is not supported yet in the 9.5 beta.
From experience I got tired of dilly dally'ing with opera mobile. Its slow when compared to Skyfire or Opera mini. (even on 3g its slow) If you want flash try to get skyfire. My tilt is rockin skyfire and opera mini. Both have their pros and cons.
is says directly on the opera website flash and activex don't work

thank you for enlightenment
I did manage to get flash working at one point after extensive configuration of settings but at this stage it isn't even worth it at all...
It is so slow and you will end up soft resetting each time you run a flash video site i.e. youtube.
Dulal,
Why don't you try "youtubeplay" I have it on my phone and think it's great application.
Thanks Mr Invisible Sense man!!
I've got "Youtubeplay" (attached) but I don't like it much as you can only watch specific videos (as toenail said).
I'm thiniking of getting "HTC diamond streaming player" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417005 back to view my video clips from YouTube unless you can suggest a better solution.
I can't wait until the weekend as I'm going to flash again (to L26's V10TL), I'm not to happy with HD's Lite ROM as you suggested. I'm getting loads of problem and it's very laggy on my device. I'm wondering if it could be the HardSPL I'm using because I've still got version 1 installed on my Kaiser. Which version of HardSPL are you using for that ROM and would you advice me to upgrade - V3.56?
Anyway, I'm off to work now. Speak to you soon Mr Invisible man!

Yeap skyfire will get flash playing for you, but it is (as of this release) the most annoying app on my phone. No stop button (stop load) , and the friggin zoom, unless you have fingers the size of a stylus it will annoy the **** out of you.
I use opera mini for all but video or aol radio type programs which i run in skyfire. opera mini even lets me admin my full website now.
Hopefully theyll take some of the suggestions they're getting and make skyfire a little more user friendly.
Can someone attach/point me to Skyfire? or is it not a freeware?

How about www.skyfire.com....just a thought. Ya know, people are usually pretty reluctant to help people who don't first try to help themselves (there are many, many threads here pertaining to Skyfire...and you'd almost have to try hard not to stumble upon one of them on accident).
So now we just need someone to provide us non-americans with a US-number... Or does Skyfire only work for the US-people...?
Edit: OK... as I see it you can only sign up to become a Beta 2 tester - and they don't even know when they will start to work on the Beta 2 version... So again: Where does one get Skyfire????

Yes, it is only working for the U.S. right now. I'm confused as to why you want it so badly.....since you apparently haven't read anything about it at all, or researched anything pertaining to it.
Where does one get it? By signing up for the beta like everyone else. A cab file will do you no good as you need to have an actual account and verification. You would've found out all of this had you bothered to read anything on their site, or searched this one.......and had you done any kind of search here, you probably also would've found that if you put in the beta code "cnet100" when you register, you will get in to the closed beta immediately......if they haven't shut that down yet.
Your code didn't work, but I found that "bgenius" does and I got the sms to download, but when I run skyfire it fails to authenticate even though they have my number and everything.

Standard Opera on Xperia

Does anyone know how to change the standard opera to make it view regular size webpages instead of only viewing mobile pages. I know there is a setting in settings but apparently that isn't making a difference. Has anyone else experienced this?
********EDIT***********
Solved thanks to d0ubl3_d1zzl3
d0ubl3_d1zzl3 said:
He is right. Go to a site like IPChicken.com and look at the Browser string under the 'Advanced' section and you'll see what Opera is reporting to each site you visit. Opera has a way to 'spoof' the User Agent to be like Firefox or IE 6 for example. Type in: about:config in the address bar, and scroll all the way down to User Agent and try 2 and 3 (Firefox & IE, respectively).

Hi
I don't have a problem with that, Always shows the "real" homepage, even youtube after installing the flash lite
hmm really?? everytime i go to youtube it takes me to m.youtube.com. Shoot even google goes to the mobile webpage. i wonder if i need to install flashlite to correct this? That doesn't make any sense though.
Try installing flashlite and see if its get any better =)
Didn't do a thing. When i got to youtube it takes me to m.youtube.com am i the only one with this problem?
Have you clicked on the link at the bottom which takes you to the full site and stores a cookie on your phone telling YouTube to send you to the full version next time?
Trying that as we speak
Yup just tried it and it works for youtube but other websites it doesn't. Like when i go to myspace and i click on view full desktop page it doesn't do anything besides go right back to the page i started at. I'm not sure what is going but it seems like maybe their are two different opera builds on these xperias. I wonder if that is possible
EDIT
I think it is the website i'm going to. Some just have errors i think. Has anyone tried to use orb.com? I can get it stream perfectly with IE but with Opera it tries to open it and it just crashes.
Orb works ok on opera for me as long as i can get a 3g signal
Everytime i try and use orb on opera it just crashes and closes. Did it work for you straight out of the box?
Since this thread is labelled in a general fashion, I'm not gonna open a new thread for my question, which is:
anybody managed to upgrade to a more recent Opera build?
The ones available work as in being able to browse the web, but they are buggy regarding keyboard input for example.
I upgraded to a newer version and it was extremely buggy. It crashed on me a couple of times. I like this one designed for the xperia. I don't like xperia's standard settings but after u change the settings its cool
One of the nice features of the touch pro was that the back button in opera was mapped to a hardware button. Is it possible to do this with the Xperia?
Yes straight out the box

I still have an issue. I can get it to stream but its really laggy through opera unless i use this pls winamp format but then i get errors here and there. I run it through IE and it streams perfectly. I've spent about 2 hrs going through the settings trying to find the cause of it but i can't seem to find it. When you use orb what format are u streaming in and what player are u using?
Windows media format (.asx)
and windows media player on the phone
hmmm i don't know why my video lags so much even on wifi. Audio comes in perfect whatever video i play is horrible unless i use IE. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this?
Could the orb be playing up, I just tried on wifi on both opera and ie and only managed to get streaming work once out of a few attempts. Kept getting server is busy.
How can I reinstall the SE Opera version? Where's the cab at? I managed to bugger up my version and now it won't load
Do a hard reset

Pandora Radio

I found a cab file for Pandora Radio in a Motorolla forum, installed it, and it works!
I'm using a Att Tilt running Garmin DK 9 ROM WM6.1.
Here is the link to the cab file:
http://mq.roeiboot.com/apps/pandora.cab
Note: switch to landscape when creating your account or you will not see all the required fields. ie: zip code.
Also Birthday is year only.
Enjoy
Happy Birthday to me!
The bitrate of the streams are low. They sound like 96kbit/s or lower compared to the 128kbit/s streams on Resco Radio.
Haha, that's awesome; never seen someone so excited about a discovery, only to knock it with their next post! Been using Pandora for a few months now. Kinoma freeplay is much better for specific radio staion searches with pandora being better for general types of music; resco is very flaky, and yea it has a larger bit rate, though that also causes a lot of sound distortion combined with a lot of "hit and miss" music selections...
This is Fing great!! Good find man.
hey thanks for this i have been looking for a pandora app for a while now because i like it better than last.fm
it stays stuck on the 'connecting' screen for me. any fixes out there?
Bad Connection
I just installed today but i get "We're experiencing network communication difficulties Please Try again later anyone else having this issue
Connecting
I have the proxy unchecked in the Media Net settings. You can try that.
Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Set up my proxy server> Uncheck the second box "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet."

Still said that my email and password is not reconized. it works on pc but not on the phone app.
This works great, thanks! I had to actually do the registration online (w/ my PC), do an initial log in, then used it on my phone.
Great find thanks alot. Works great on my Tilt running HDIII.
Been playing with Pandora on my device for about a week now, it's quite splendid.
One little hack you might care to do...
Edit the following registry key/values to allow playback to continue while the screen is turned off:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"UnattendedPlayback"=dword:1
"FastCacheReserve"=dword:00800000
"LocalCacheReserve"=dword:00800000
weird mine is working fine w/ the screen off, it pauses for about a second then contintues.
This is the best cab. ive added for awhile to my tilt. Thanks for the find.
Can't use in the UK
Using orb but have managed to delete bbc radio 4 - can someone who is using orb check the streaming url for R4 pls?

Interesting. I had tested Pandora previously on Garmin's DK8Final
ROM (fresh rom, no other programs installed or tweaks done) and found I had to make that registry change to allow unattended playback. Updated to DK9 yesterday and just made the reg changes anyway. It all works though
Cheers,
I've only been able to log in one time. After that it just hangs up every time.
I would like to express my immense appreciation for this app/CAB. this has been a hope for me for a LONG time. i even got this running on my girlfriends treo 750- thank you so very much!
Newer version
Another thread in Kaiser General has a newer version of Pandora 1.1.4 compared to this 1.0.25.

This can be closed.
I loaded Pandora 1.1.4 from the following forum, it works GREAT!! However, my playback shuts down when the screen goes dark. I tried the below suggested registry edit, however, I don't have those options available. Did you manually enter those options? Also, this version seems to be a flash player, not using the Media Player, just want to make sure I'm understanding this as I'm quite a noob =) Many thanks in advance for all the help!
