I am a proud owner of an HTC Tilt since around July, and am due for an upgrade through AT&T. I was thinking about getting the Fuze, but I'm not 100% sure. I wanted to get some opinions first, and see what everybody thinks. Has anybody went from the Tilt to the Fuze here? What are your thoughts?
Thanks.

I say do it. I went from tilt to Fuze. While the keyboard doesn't "Tilt" and its slides to opposite way. The build hand feel is much better and it runs better.
At least that my opinion, for what its worth. (Nothing)
Its worth something, thats why I asked. The keyboard on the tilt is kinda sloppy, sometimes it doesnt type when I push a letter. How is the Fuze's keyboard in comparison?

I've trying to read through the forum but I cant seem to find a solid ROM that everyone agrees on... So whats the best ROM out there?
Come on lol
Ow gd, it is starting here also... Try the ROM's yourself! Try and try until you find something you like. Evereybody has different wishes, so there is no 'perfect' ROM that suits everybody's wishes. Read through the specs and see which ROM you like most.
i did an easy search on xda dev google for kaiser best rom. found this. next time, please use all the great tools that we have.

the tilt and kaisers aren't that much different.
helmi also created some cooked tilt roms, but everyone says it all before, no one is all going to agree on one rom. If you don't want to go through all the trouble loading the roms like many of us have, then stick with the HTC shipped rom. There is a reason why HTC made it the standard.
I have to tell you, the stock AT&T Tilt ROM (once you delete all the craplets) actually has excellent performance and is very stable.
It blows the doors off of anything I ever had on my Hermes!

The tilt and kaiser come with touch flow straight from the factory
also, please learn what a caps lock key is
I use the BigStorage htc one on my tilt. I must say, it's just as stable as the at&t rom, has more room, and I'm not missing any apps or anything that I would want or need. It's got a lot of the registry hacks I'd want, updated black keyboard, PIE fix, and a TON of room. Kudos to the developer.

I agree with you.
But I want to know which craplets you are talking about and how to remove them?
I want to remove the followings:
"Get TeleNav" message from "Today"
"Media Net",
AT&T Mall;
AT&T Music
All the games
Cellular video
Actually, I want to remove any AT&T paid services.
Thank you in advance.
What is "cingular pre_midlets"? Can I remove it from program
In setting/syste/remove program, I can see an entry for "Cingular pre_midlets".
What happen if I remove it? What's that one for? for java programs?
Thanks.

I also would like to know
hard reset you tilt and when the additional phone customizing starts, soft reset.
Hello Everybody.
I bought my tilt from ebay, and the software was already customized with a ROM. I didnt know, but i knew it was different because, I have 8525 and the ROM is not the same.
My question is, that I updated my Tilt with a new ROM from Dutty's I think its the 04/29/08 version. Theres nothing wrong with this ROM, but I will like to go back to the one I had.
I want to go back to the ROM that I had, and the version is from Feb and it was TOUCH.
I dont know, if the TOUCH ROM is compatible with the Tilt, but that was installed on my phone before I upgraded to the new one for Dutty's.
If can someone help me to find this ROM thanks.

Yup! Hard Reset The Device By Pressing The the two keys on top of the Ie & email icon at the same time click on the reset button with the stylus then right after u do the restore and you set up the wm6 set up the device starts up and soft reset.
**** News Flash ****
Unbloated stock ROM all the way.... (For me anyway)
i'm sorry to the rest of you

i have a LOT of iphone crap that i downloaded of rapidshare for my hermes, i assume it works with the tilt as well but being as i flash a new rom every day i haven't even bothered to check it. click the link in my sig (my files) and download both files from the iphone folder. i have to agree with the others though you shouldn't ruin your perfectly fine piece of work on a POS look-a-like even if yours still works better
hey what do you guys think about the t mobile wing?
i might get one for 200. did yall hear anything back about the wing?
I have heard about memory issues and slow interface.
Also heard it had horrible battery life.
Have no idea if any of thats true.

I haven't heard anything negative about the Wing until now. I've always been pretty interested in it. I can't remember the exact number, but I thought it had a pretty decent processor speed. I know it's well above the 200-something our Excaliburs are working with.
...I still have a soft spot in my heart for the S620 though...lol
Before I got my T-Mobile Dash I had a wing and it sucked. Programs would not close when you wanted them to it was slow I always got message low on memory. I am hard of hearing so I need the volume up on max to hear it and on max I could still not here the wing, I owned the wing for a month and one day I got up turned phone on and the screen was broke. o I got the dash and I love it.
OK, so I've been building up the Fuze as a replacement for my moms blackjack which she's had for years and hates. I have a tilt, and love the added functionality and features that flashing it has brought (M2D to name a huge one). I would be doing the flashing of my Mom's phone, and she lives about 4 hours away, so just far enough that I don't get to see her that often. (hence not able to fix things easily for her if they don't work right)
As soon as she can get her hands on a fuze, she's getting it. Would flashing it to a ROM from here give any benefit to HER (ie she is not too technical and would she see any difference?) or should I just leave "well-enough" alone and tell her to enjoy her new phone?
Thanks guys

i mean if she doesn't care than it really doesn't matter. This way if God forbid something happens to the phone she can just take back to warranty for replacement without first having it reverted back to stock.
However, imo a clean light cooked rom will help her have a more speedy device
There's not a clean light ROM developed for the "Fuze" yet? Atleast, I didn't think there was.
I'd never let my mum get a WM phone. Mum phones have got to come from Sainsburys or Woolworths and can't cost any more than £19.99
and i'm not so sure if your mom appreciates you asking if she should flash her fuze in public like this...
can't help with the phone issue either..sorry....

hahaha.... funny....
my 2 cents, do not flash anything because if you happen to buy a lemon, you won't have warenty to fix or exchange and let ur mom try using it first on the stock speed and apps..... because she wont be able to apprecite the flash if she's never tried the origional.
I'm deciding whether or not to trade in my Fuze for a Bold.
The Fuze is nice, but I don't know if I can stand Windows Mobile anymore.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
well gotta give it to a Bold that it's design is timeless
and last for a long time and can handle some absuse
Can't stand Windows Mobile? Are you using a stock AT&T ROM? If so, that's your problem.
Thats funny I had the Bold 2 days before release and couldn't wait for the Fuze to be released so I could trade it in for a Fuze. Honestly the new crackberry is nice and all don't get me wrong but the Fuze and WM is so much more flexable, not the stock ROM mind you. First thing I did was Hard-SPL and get a cooked ROM. If your running around with AT&T's stock ROM your doing it wrong, completely wrong.
Im due for an upgrade and im on the fence between the bold and the fuze , i currently have a tilt and curve

I agree with you, but I think there's a good point to be made here: it shouldn't be that way. You shouldn't *need* to hack your device for it to be usable.
like i tell all the customers in my store.
if you email alot, get blackberry.
if you do everything get htc.

I have the Fuze now and used to have the bold when it came out for testing and as far as usable they both are usable from the start. The difference between the two is that with Windows Mobile you can enhance the phone and taylor it to your liking by changing the rom, adding cabs, modifying the OS etc...but with the bold and blackberry in general there is only so much you can do. I do however think that it is the best blackberry yet (have not used the Storm yet) and if you seek flexibility WM is your best bet.
Thanks everyone.
I actually used RomeOS for a while, but i reverted back to the stock ATT rom just in case I decide to get the bold. I have several weeks before my month is up, maybe i'll wait and see. My only gripe is that the phone menu is a bit sluggish. Is this b/c of TF3D or WinMobile itself?

+1
so true
I wondered the same thing. I ended up getting and keeping both though. I send and receive a lot of emails daily but I also do the other stuff. They complement each other nicely but what drove me to testing and eventually owning a Blackberry was that I became obsessive with tweaking, customizing, and installing things on my Touch Pro. I would spend HOURS each day on here searching and installing until I made the phone unstable. Hard reset and was back at it again. So the Blackberry was my way of saving my from myself, especially since it is on a platform that I'm not very familiar with. But both are great phones. The best way to decide would probably be to try them both out if at all possible.
i think Dieter Bohn from WMexperts states it best. He temporarily swapped his Fuze for a bold from the guys at crackberry.com and he says something along the lines that while using the bold he finds he constantly has to adapt himself to the BB os which is opposite to WM experience where you adapt it to your needs.
and to enrique999, i was under the exact same circumstances, always late to dinners or parties because i had to update an app, or customize it just to how i wanted the device after a hard reset or rom upgrade.. i was gonna get the bold but it took to long to come out so i got an e71. Now i use my WM device during the week, and e71 during the weekend
Ok, this may be a dumb question but I found evidence of this as a possibility elsewhere and wanted someone to clear this up for me. I have an AT&T Fuze. We are looking at switching to the Sprint network. Will I need to get a new phone, or is there a radio flash that can be used to make the change?
Forgive my newbie question. I'm still learning!
Thanks!
nope sorry you can not use a gsm phone on a cdma network.
cant: this is in hardware, not software
Well that was easy enough.
Next, if I purchase a used, unlocked Verizon phone, will I be able to use it with Sprint?
Thanks!
my fze shows a cdma option why is that?

No, you will not.. Sprint will not activate any phone they did not sell originally (not model of phone, but physical phone itself)... If it was not originally a Sprint phone that they do not have a record of, it can not be activated EVER on the sprint network.. They are the biggest "jerks" about that...
But on the good news, is just look for a Sprint HTC Touch Pro... it has TWICE the ram that the Verizion TP version has... And there are TONS of them all the time on craigslist... many in excellent condition... My only advice would be is, if you are buying any cellphone on craigslist, agree to only buy it if then will go WITH YOU (or meet you) at a Sprint Retail store, and have the Customer Service guy verify that the phone is not reported lost or stolen... If it is reported lost or stolen by whoever had it registered most recently, you will never be able to activate it on Sprint either...This way protects you in not only do you knwo for sure it is a legit phone, it will stop some seedy people from trying to rob you or anything...
If you go this route, I highly reccoment the NSFAN roms... They are great, well put together roms... They sort of remind me of the Energy roms on the Fuze....
Anyways, hope I was some help!
Thanks, Teej!
I've been watching items on Ebay. That's where I got my Fuze.
Does the Tael ROM work for the Sprint Touch Pro? I have had good luck with it and like the config. What do you like about the NSFAN ROM?

I have never used the Tael Rom, so I can't comment on that one.. buut the NSFAN one is great... I installed the exact same rom on both a US Cellular as well as a Sprint version of the Touch Pro and both "just worked" right out of the box... it is very finger friendly... has on all the little features and tweaks to a settings liek I would have them set.. The programs that come with it are very useful.. It looks good... and runs pretty quickly it seems as well... I have installed tomTom on it, and it also just "worked" out of the box without any special GPS configuration... and it locks on in like 30 seconds! We also have a fuze, and that one seems to takes 3 or 4 min, both from a cold start, started at the same time in the same car... (we compaired them many times)... Batterys seems to last about 2 days on typical use... It also seems to be very stable....
Hope I have helped....
