I've had my Tilt for a while now and I don't feel I'm taking full advantage of what all this thing can do.

I saw a website of a guy that reviewed it and he said something about resetting it to get rid of all the junk software that comes preloaded on it and then had a few suggestions of what to add on it.

I remember he had some different displays that I really liked, especially the keypad that took up the entire screen.

Also, has anyone used this messaging system?
IM+ All-in-One Mobile Messenger: AIM/iChat, MSN/Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo!, ICQ, Jabber, Google Talk :: Windows Mobile Pocket PC :: Products
Does that go off of text messaging or data? I have unlimited data, but not text, and I want to put AIM on it.

Right now, the only thing I've added to it is Google Maps, which I love, but I have problems accessing some sites. For instance, I can't log on to wells fargo and theres another site, Directechs I use for work, that when I enter my username and password and hit submit, it just refreshes the current page instead of logging me in. Will getting something like opera help with that? Can I put opera on my tilt? How would I go about doing that?

Thanks!

This is not the only one, but it works great for me.

Not free.. I bought a "lifetime" license.

Best part for me is you can send audio messages,
and it works with most messaging systems at the same time using only "Data"

To get to secure sites like Wells Fargo, disable the proxy, then open the browser.
start/programs/tools/proxy manager
You may have to change the DNS setting in connections instead of "automatic" which give you ATT Media net, to a generic one. If you still don't connect after disable of the proxy, try another DNS combination per the threads on this BBS.

Also, I synced my phone with my computer for the first time last night, should I be able to bring up my contacts on the computer now?

When I had it connected I could click on contacts in the sync window, but nothing would ever come up.

I would like to get rid of all the junk software I dont need by resetting the whole thing, but I dont want to lose everything I have because I didn't back it up properly.

Thanks for your help so far!

I tried hard resetting my phone, but i still have options like 'get telenav' and 'get xpress mail'. Does that mean I did not do it correctly?

Also, should I save stuff like the black dialer skin to my main device or storage card?

A hard reset is going to return it to factory settings. ie with all the crap they load on it.

I unlocked mine with HardSPL and loaded a cleaned and optimized ROM. Very glad I did it too. Highly suggest doing it.

You need to do a hard reset with a soft reset at the proper moment during the boot process. I think I read it is a 3 second window when the AT&T logo comes up. But search around for the proper procedure.

Here is the link I found it in the Tilt FAQ

What is this though?
"when the 3-second countdown to the "custom app" installation begins."

After you hard-reset and the Tilt comes up in Windows the first time, a window comes up that says something like, "Customizing applications". It gives a 3 second countdown and you can press "Cancel". (It's been awhile, I don't recall the exact wording)

You want to press Cancel at that time. If you allow the customizing process to continue, it installs all the "junk" software.

Okay, I think I got it this time.

Your phone will reboot, then it will do the align screen thing, then ask if you want to enter a password, after you click finish, it will go to the home screen for a split second, then give the count down, thats when you hit the reset button.

The app i like most for instant messaging is Palringo... and it's completely FREE!!! I don't know what the catch is.. so if someone else knows.. let me know.... but if you've never heard of it... Palringo Vocal IM

one thing i did to mine was put a few coats of clear nail polish over the power button so that it protrudes from the body of the device a little... and it looks sooooo niiiiiiice! So i can turn the device on and off in the dark.. LOL. not a software ad-on.. but still it's a really nice and easy mod.
