I have had some issues with the radio on my Tilt (dropped calls and unable to answer second call). When I updated to Dutty's Dual Touch V3 ROM, I updated the radio to 1.27.12.32, last week HTC released a new OS and radio 1.27.15.32R2 ROM. A forum member on xda-developers (thread) has produced a radio only ROM update found here. I updated my Tilt this weekend and the signal is definitely stronger, however as some have posted I was initially having GPS problems. After reading the thread, I ran quickgps, updated my position, performed a soft reboot and everything is working, although the acquisition time seems slower than before. I can live with that, considering the signal strength seems much better. I have not had the opportunity to test answering a second call and will report back.
Since I now have Sirius in my BMW, the subscription provides on line streaming for most of the channels, I have to decided to examine various Windows Mobile solutions to listen to Sirius on my Tilt and will post my results later this week.
Well it looks like the iPhone's new OS version 1.1.3 firmware Jailbreak procedures have been published, although the Google Maps location finder does not work without the new baseband firmware. I will wait a while until the baseband upgrade process is totally flushed out before upgrading. Currently if you reboot or change SIM cards you have to run a script to re enable the baseband. There has also been quite a few postings about the fact that most of the code to support third party applications is already in 1.1.3...
Last Friday Directv went national with its latest production firmware release version 0x1EA for the HR20-700 and HR20-100. So far so good, I have to try playing videos from my Vista Ultimate desktop via the DVR this week. There was also a beta release via dbstalk.com which I passed on.
This week:
- Post more thoughts on the AT&T Tilt and how I used it on my trip.
