Forgot to add, the new up and down motion you have to do in order to start Winterface is truly excruciating to activate. It takes me an average of 10 times to get it to read! This definately needs to be fixed.

ISSUES with WINTERFACE

1. Calendar- Does not show a semi-transparent background as stated on instructions. Just shows the regular WM background when clicked upon.

2. Contacts- Does not show a semi-transparent background as stated on the instructions. Again, just shows the regular WM background when clicked upon.

3. The Lock Screen- this is non-existant and does not work. Yes, I checked the Menu option and there is a check on the “lock screen” button. Screen does not lock!!! It

doesn’t even popup.

4. Power Saving mode- Whenever my TILT goes into power saving mode and shuts off the screen and I activate the screen again to do something, WM 6 Today screen shows up and

not Winterface. This is VERY bothersome. This means everytime I want to do anything within Winterface, I ALWAYS have to activate it, over and over again.

NOTE: Power icon doesn’t display battery life until I click on it. This should definately be added, but again is not really apart of my main problem.

After updating the ROM on my Tilt to the new AT&T WM 6.1 ROM I decided to load Winterface v1.11 again to see if it would work… lo and behold it did! But not for long. Seems that when I loaded my calendar data on the device Winterface choked on it and wouldn’t start again. My guess is that the new feature that allows you to tap on the calendar icon to see upcoming events doesn’t like something in my calendar data. I do have a lot of items on my calendar, but I wouldn’t say there are anymore than an average business user.

I have sent information about this problem to Vito (again… see above post dated Aug. 13–with no response) and we’ll see if they decide to do something with it.

I’ve downloaded new versions with fixed bugs for Tilt/TyTn II.
Will you try it?

Hello, guys!
Thanks for great feedback!
Probably, we’ll fix most of the bugs.

In my opinion Winterface is a waste of money. You’re better off using Ifonz version 1.0.4 Easy to customize your apps and such. It’s also very smooth.

Vito apps aren’t that great. I think I’m using like one of their apps and this is coming from someone that load tons of apps on their phone. Step up your game Vito Tech. and maybe you can play on the same field as SPB.

I installed the new 1.1 version on my Tilt and it hangs up. I had to perform a soft-reset to get my device running again. Sent word to Vito… we’ll see what happens. In the meantime I’m going back to v1.02.

By a weird twist of fate, I installed Winterface about 20 minutes before this was posted.

I agree with most everything Kristofer says above. I don’t care either way regarding the colors, since I mixed a bunch of colored icons in there anyway.

I would still like to throw in my now standard blast from other forums that VITO’s customer service is terrible.

So I got the new version installed now.. here’s a couple quick observations:

1 – Battery Icon still leads to ‘Sliding Sounds’
(talked with them about this before and it is something that is Tilt/TyTn II specific so it’s not likely to change anytime soon)

2- Still no wrap-around with the interface itself

3- Clicking ‘Settings’ in the menu now does nothing at all

4- the new way to open the interface with the ‘uptick’ is actually more difficult than the old way of doing it…

5- Install app from Desktop while synced instead of xferring to phone to install.. personally I don’t care for this, but other people might like it that way

6- Phone does not automatically lock when screen goes off, you now have choice to enable or disable the lock screen (this is a nice feature actually)

7- The ability to add other shortcuts is cool, for example you can now add a shortcut directly to your storage card

8- Many new icons added for several things, though I’m not sure I care for the whole black and white look of it, I happen to like a colorful screen
