As I reported on Monday, I flashed the radio ROM on my Tilt with 1.27.15.32 off of the newly released HTC ROM. This radio ROM seems to provide noticeably better GSM signal strength. The downside is slow GPS acquisition time, but that is OK given the improvement with the GSM reception. One other note about the GPS, if you cannot acquire your position, such as inside a building rebooting seems to be the only solution to get it going again when you step outside.
Dutty released V4 of his custom ROM and I may update this weekend. Since I don't have any major issues with V3, I am not chomping at the bit to upgrade. Dutty is working on a WM 6.1 upgrade, I may just wait for that.
Since I now have Sirius in my BMW, I have gotten use to listening to their programming from BBC One to Classic Vinyl and with the included streaming service I can listen using my PC, however now I am turning my attention to listening to Sirius on my Tilt. I found three solutions which I am testing:
- Emulamer's SiriusCE (free)
- SelectRadio ($25USD)
- GeeksToolbox.com SiriusWM5 (free)
I will report back on my choice later.
I just updated Zagat To Go to version 6. The OTA download at m.zagat.com is temporarily unavailable, but I downloaded it from the Handmark website. This update should provide a better solution for dialing the establishments directly from Zagat To Go.
It is clear that the Bluetooth headset volume is an issue with the Tilt and you need to use a headset which has some amplification capability such as my Blueant V12. I am satisfied with the volume, although I have it set to 10. I have not tried it in a very noisy environment.
duttythroy has a great library of application cabs here.
