Once I opened the box and started using my Tilt 2 my excitement slowly burnt out. I powered the phone on an noticed it was full of AT&T bloatware that needed to be removed, no tethering, today screens that needed customizing, and not to mention my AT&T Tilt 2 was freezing every time I tried to do anything with email messages. After a couple of days I slowly started to think spending $300 on this device was not such a great decision. The ATT Tilt 2 is a great phone for business users or those who want to break free from the constrains of the Apple IPhone. I have owned the models of HTC slide out keyboard phones (8525, 8925, and the Original Tilt) so I was pretty fired up about buying the Tilt 2 with Windows Mobile 6.5. Once I opened the box and started using my Tilt 2 my excitement slowly burnt out. Once time allowed I began finding fixes to my issues and fell in love all over again. I have outlined solutions to all my problems below so you don’t have to spend the hours and days I did searching for them.

Tilt 2 tmail.exe Freezing when Texting, emailing, or downloading headers
I have 5 email accounts setup on my phone. When my settings were set to download all message headers and attachments for all my accounts my email would freeze just about every time I opened a message. Although I wasn’t downloading the full messages or attachments it had a hard time keeping up with all the data. To solve the problem I changed the settings to download all my messages and attachments less than 256K from only my main email account. For all my other email accounts I only downloaded message headers within the last 24hrs with no attachments. Since I made this change my tilt2 has not frozen on me at all. I guess it was having a problem indexing the tons of messages in all my email boxes.

If you use the default WM 6.5 today screen download “Home Screen Customizer” to remove unneeded items from today screen.
