"I'm having this problem. When making a call, the screen dims after 10 seconds then goes into hibernation after 14. Did you solve this problem?"

63. RE: at&t tilt 8925 and sleeping or hibernating issues Just got my tilt 2 days ago. I am a att&t customer and I have an out of the box tilt. i have not a single thing to it. Mine goes into "deep sleep" mode and I have to power it back on. It gets no calls or messages. i read about the tweak, but why do I have to tweak a new device to get it to work? I didn't buy a truck and then have all the electronics replaced by a third party because my engine just turns off whenever it feels like it. I added a 2 gig sim card from Kingston today.... before reading this thread. You guys have really bummed me out. I thought for sure I had just hit the wrong setting or something. How come developers/programers/designers have such little pride in their concepts and ideas. I would be beside myself if something I created sucked. Wash their hands of any responsibility and collect their checks I guess. A new prodcut should work out of the box. Not be tweaked to operate.

65. RE: at&t tilt 8925 and sleeping or hibernating issues how do you install the kaiser tweak? everytime i try to install it stops at 42kb and i notice the internet explorer goes on?

67. RE: at&t tilt 8925 and sleeping or hibernating issues So I loaded the KaiserTweak on the Tilt, but what exactly do I have to tweak to make the hibernation problem to go away?

69. RE: at&t tilt 8925 and sleeping or hibernating issues STAY AWAY FROM THIS PHONE! It has so many issues! The problems I experience are: phone loses signal and fails to reconnect; VERY BAD signal EVERYWHERE!; Poor battery life. What's worse is that the phones costs $300-$400 and AT&T will NOT extend the warranty on the phone and after 1 year, you're on your own! Oh, also, AT&T will NOT replace your phone with a NEW phone, instead, they will give you a refurbished phone! I've had 2 already and they both experience the same problems!!!! Screw AT&T and this awful phone!

71. RE: at&t tilt 8925 and sleeping or hibernating issues You are so right....I think there are major problems with this device and in my case it becomes inoperatable even as a phone. Need to let folks know, perhaps company will respond with a fix.

73. RE: at&t tilt 8925 and sleeping or hibernating issues Think you are right. It was a trap for me to buy this. Don't know why the reviews aren't putting this stuff out.

75. RE: at&t tilt 8925 and sleeping or hibernating issues

"I think I've finally found a solution to this "freezing during sleep" problem, after searching various forums for the past week... If you're having a similar problem, try the following:

1. Download Kaiser Tweak (if you haven't already):
http://rapidshare.com/files/81514292/KaiserTweak.zip

2. Unzip and copy the .exe and .xml files to your Tilt, and run the .exe from the Tilt.

3. Go to the "Notifications" section, and set both options to "60 seconds" or more.

This fixed the problem for me, and it should do the same for most of you having similar problems. I tried this for the first time last night and this morning my phone didn't freeze and the alarm went off, etc.

You should probably also set all the other options to the "advised" choices in Kaiser Tweak.

Hope this helps!"

I agree that this tweak will help, but it did not stop my phone from the deep freeze. Replaced the SIM (as noted above) and that is still working. I still feel this is an AT&T only SIM card issue. I don't see the same kind of complaints from non-AT&T users.

"ok gang I think I have solved the problems with this one. I talked in depth to a AT&T service guy and we went over all the possibilities. I got a brand new phone from him, free of chrage and it has not had a single issue. (the guy who says they won't give you new phones or help you is fullof crap) So see if any of you have these issues. 1. if you had a older phone, I had an ipaq before, and they don't tell the system you have this phone when they program the new sim card, it will jack the tilt up really badly. The tech was telling me that when you put in a sim card it downloads a small program for the new phone the first time it turns on. If the wrong phone is listed on your account the sim card will download the wrong program. 2. If you have an older version of activesynch and you use it with this phone it can also mess up the firmware. If you have a different phone and you don't completely unistall activesynch then it can transfer the wrong data to the tilt and mess it up. 3. If you use programs that are not made for windows mobile 6 it can fry the phone. The Tilt is very sensitive to what you load on it. I got a new phone with a new sim card and loaded it on a computer that has never had activesynch and it has not had a single problem. Most the people here who are complaining have had a different phone with AT&T. I think it is just a customer service account error that messes the tilt up. If it was a REAL problem with the phone, there would BE tons of complaints all over the net about it! I hope this helps. I am super happy with my phone now."

This is good info. It explains why I was given a new SIM when I received the Tilt. It also makes it plausible that ATT didn't properly setup this SIM. In my case, ActiveSync was installed for the first time on my PC.

I also feel that HTC has a problem here too. Take a look at other threads for similar HTC phones with other providers (e.g., Sprint & Alltel). Their boards contain many similar complaints.

In any case, my 2nd SIM card is still working great. (Fingers crossed.)

79. RE: at&t tilt 8925 power on issue I had the same problem on a phone that I bought 2 days ago. The provider could not solve the problem so they gave me another phone. This is the first time that they had dealt with this particular issue.
