Is your AT&T Tilt feeling a little heavy? Does your device seem to have that sluggish, “I can’t get started in the morning” feeling about it? Well, fear not! You won’t need to figure out how to force coffee through your mini-USB cable to perk up your Tilt! Our good friends at XDA-Developers (dot com) have figured out the trick to loose that unwanted “Bloatware” that AT&T so ridiculously loads on our precious devices!  And it is very easy to perform! Here is what you will need to do:

1) Back up your Tilt using the included Spite Back Up software included!

2) Hard reset your device (It’s worth it trust me!). Now there are two ways to accomplish this. The easiest way is the Clear Storage application under Settings/System/Clear Storage, or you can hold the two soft key buttons and simultaneously soft reset. I never get this to work however. Just use the Clear Storage and save yourself a lot of embarrassment from your uncoordinated fingers! (LOL)

3) When your Tilt reboots it will take you through the normal screen alignment process and then setting your time zone, and finally the cut and paste routine. When it brings up the home screen there will be a pop-up that prompts enhancements will begin in three seconds, QUICKLY SOFT RESET WHILE THIS IS DISPLAYED! Your device will soft reset  and then bring up the today screen and avoid loading all the Bloatware! Hooray! No more Bloatware!

Now load all your favorite applications and resume your life feeling much more slimmed down with the knowledge that your Beat the Bloat laid on you from our good friends at AT&T!

Enjoy my fellow Tilt Friends!
