I installed the rom from HTC, and the phone stopped connecting to 3g. It would only connect to GRPS and Edge. I flashed the rom back to the 1.62.502.0 version on the htc site, and 3g came back. I tried a couple of cooked roms, but they wouldn't work either. Has anyone heard of this? I can’t use 3g with WM 6.1. I installed the rom from HTC, and the phone stopped connecting to 3g.

However, once I disabled ClearType in KaiserTweak the problem resolved. I was able to leave ClearType selected in the phone settings (Start/Settings/System/Screen/ClearType). Thank you both for your help! I dreaded the thought of reinstalling 6.1 and the rest of my programs! Re: Horizontal Text problem w/6.1:

However, the one problem obvious to me is that I can't see characters typed when the screen is horitizonal. Problem exists w and w/o the keyboard extended. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is this a bug? Is there a fix? The upgrade went smoothly. However, the one problem obvious to me is that I can’t see characters typed when the screen is horitizonal.

But it's at the expense of loosing several MB's of device memory, not being able to use clear type in landscape mode, strange flickering when taking your phone out of standby mode, programs vanishing from your storage card, and so on and so forth. The phone is not to blame, but the OS, and ATT for forcing all there crapware on us. If you want a new toy to play with like voice command, threaded sms, go ahead and upgrade.

My Tilt is running faster than it did before, the battery life is (slightly) improved, and the device seems more stable overall. Even the built-in Voice Command is working good over Bluetooth. The ONLY issue I have, albeit a minor one, is that once in a while when I wake up the device (using the power button when the screen is off, NOT when it's powered off) it will sometime go back to sleep immediately. Pressing the power button a second time wakes it up again without issue. This happens about once every five times. Like I said... a very minor issue.
