AT&T 8925 Tilt Pics
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Hi all,
I just snapped some pics and setup a quick blog for my Tilt experiences. Some of them are comparison pics with my 8125 as well that are on there to show the cosmetic differences. I'll update it over the weekend when I install TomTom and have a more thorough review to post up there.

You might want to fix the date in your blog. You put October 15, 2007

Minor typo, thanks!

Did you install the HTC homeplug on it? All the 8925s I saw didn't have it pre-installed.

I'm also coming from an 8125, can you take a photo of both from the side so I can see the thickness of the two?

Posted by: alphaivt

The lighting and angles you shot at makes the Tilt look like an all black phone...

That would be because it is a black phone... You can clearly see the brushed metal face and anything else that's not black.

Beyond this, it's worth noting I just snapped quick comparison pics. I don't claim to be any good photographer.

Sure, I'll take a picture of the side and post it by tomorrow with the rest.

did anyone else notice that clock on HTC Home shows a different time from the clock on the top bar?

Posted by: jandj

Yes, I have noticed it; that was actually the first thing I noticed when uploading the pictures. Sometimes when the clock switches, there is a slight delay for the one on the top bar to reflect it. I don't know why and it doesn't happen all the time either. I happened to snap the pic coincidentally right when it was switching.

If anyone has seen this on theirs, can you tell me if it happens on yours? If someone else could get a picture of it happening, that'd be pretty sweet too...

Does anyone know if the Tilt weighs more than the 8125? I have seen weights for the Tilt from 6.7 to 6 ounces. According to what I can find on the internet, the official 8125 weight is 5.3 ounces.

Could these phones possibly be getting heavier? My pants are already weighed down as it is. Can anyone comment on the weight?

Thinner but heavier

Exactly. Weight balance is better on the Kaiser though, and I prefer the overall feel including weight.

Jesus christ lordvaderr, you need to learn what the search function is once in a while. You're just spamming the posts with your ridiculous and ridiculous amount of questions. Learn something yourself for once. It was fine the first few times you did it but now, all the post counts you hvae right now are of pure questoins that can simply be found out if you just take your time to search. Sorry if my post is cruel, or mean but he just got to an annoying point with me.

-K-

I found the dialpad on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225
It is under "New Dialer Skin" and I used the CAB version.

i read and read but still can not figure out how to put that home plug in work....i downloaded many cab files, bur dont know what to do with them, is there a way to do it from my 8525 directly without usiing a pc??

Connect your device via USB. Copy files into root or any other folder like My Docs. Sync. Go to that folder on your device and just click on the CAB file. Follow instructions on screen and you are done! You might have to do a soft reset to get it to work.

ike, thanks man! Installed and works great!

Posted by: luv2hum

shkoiyach!
i will try it as soon as i can!
exactly which cab files did you use, i see so many of them to get the home screen and dial pad?

Posted by: jandj

I added a quick video of some of my favorite features like the new buttons and the GPS receiver. I didn't cover much because I don't have alot of time to spend, but it may give some of you who can't get to one some insight. Like I said, I just did it pretty quick so it's nothing great.

Only one for the home plugin and one for the dial pad.
Wizard_reTOUCHed_Dialer2.cab
Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.cab

Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.cab came as a zip file and had 2 other cab files with it, I assume that are installed automatically as well...

Posted by: luv2hum

nice video...thanks

Posted by: luv2hum

i got the dialpad but found a cab file called homepluginwm6 is that the same as the kaiser one...or should i just do the kaiser one?
thanks

All I can vouch for is the kaiser one, if you want my result, you might want to stick with that.

I'll have ike post about the theme too... (I used them all with his recommendation)

nice video...thanks

Thanks!

Posted by: luv2hum

thanks again, what is the theme going to show ?

Posted by: jandj

It's just the gray theme I use.

Posted by: myutmost4him

Very nice video review. I will point out that most of the dedicated buttons mentioned can also be found on the 8525. There are some changes in the placement, but I am not sure if there are any new ones. I do like that HTC has moved the Messaging and IE dedicated buttons from the top of the device's front panel to the bottom. A lot of the time when I'd pull my 8525 out of its case, I would accidently push one of them. Got kind of annoying. I also assume that the function of the buttons can be customized like they can on the 8525.

Good point, I probably should have mentioned it.

I was just showing the major differences from the 8125-8925 (which I'm sure you gathered). I wanted to mostly leave out the 8525 because it's sort of an intermediate rather than a significant hardware revision.

Agreed. The 8125 had those up top as well and I really grew tired of pushing them when pulling it out of my pocket.

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it.
