Hard Reset: Perhaps *something* you installed or changed maybe causing this problem. Start afresh and see where that takes you: You can even try it via the "clear storage" method from Settings. Cheers.

Shouldn't tweaks like this be posted in the WIKI?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stuartforrest:
wow. I was going to send this phone back but it seems miles better after this tiny tweak. Why the f**k dont HTC set it up correctly in the first place. When i got my touch cruise i got loads of tweaks from on here that made it better so perhaps HTC should watch this forum!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] formula:
it's awesome! Thanks! :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] saveferris:
Thanks for the reply, the screen still turned off while on call when i applied those registry tweaks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SecureGSM:
there are 2 lines in registry that I susspect affects display goes off while in call:

1. HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatteryTimeoutInCall

value is set to "5" by default - looks like this value is in seconds. 5 sec timeout?

2. HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BattSuspendTimeoutInCall

value is set to "5" by default - looks like this value is also in seconds. 5 sec timeout?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] phankhi:
hi, funny tho, it worked for me... i guess you did a soft reset?

if anyone has any ideas on the SMS issue where the alert/vibrate is not functional when the diamond is on stand by....would be appreciated!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] h2ogun:
Thanks for the tweaks. My Diamond got quite a significant speed boost. It feels pretty snappy now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] notisz:
It seems the device looses a lot of memory with this tweak and after all night it caused me problems in some processes. I think this tweak is not so good. I revert my device to the previous settings that were speedy also.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sunnycheng:
Does anyone notice a massive drain in battery after this tweak or is it just me?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] phankhi:
I used SK Tools, "performance" - optimized and it seems to be quite snappy as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Pharaohnough:
Brilliant tweak. Works without any problems- tried soft resetting a few times to be sure.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jorlin:
Can somebody please post a video with the TouchFlo before and after the tweak?

I have seen quite a few videos now who show the Diamond in action and I was not too impressed with the reponsiveness of the interface.. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WorldIRC:
Improves on the already mentioned first tweak!! Thanks buddy!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stuartforrest:
Just a word of caution. I did this on mine and now it wont startup properly. It shows the top bar and start button and the calendar and contacts soft button but none of them doing anything. Looks like a hard reset coming. I am seriously tempted to send this phone back. My touch cruise is massively faster than this phone What the hell are HTC playing at.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stuartforrest:
Cant get it back on. How do you hard reset these then?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kn710:
Really work!

Hey, really amazing for the improvement. However the speed for program open still a bit slow. Any other way can improve too?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] naser404:
Guys what about Glyph cache ? mine comes set at 8k
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WorldIRC:
That likely has to do with the Video Rendering. I could see a direct positive result in increasing this..from a technical standpoint. It'll likely further reduce available memory though! The only thing is I don't know how the glyph cache relates to the graphics hardware in the phone and if tweaking that could mess it up in some way!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WorldIRC:
So as mentioned in another thread, SMS on the phone was set, by default, to not wake up the phone. This resulted in Vibrate feature not working if the phone was in standby and the phone would only vibrate once the user actually looked at their phone.

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL :

DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. meaning NO wake up to SMS message

By doing this you will not always receive the vibrate / tone notification that are receiving a text!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SecureGSM:
to switch off option "mute call on phone flipped face down":

HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE:

FaceDownMuteRing: set to "1" by default, change that to "0"

it might come handy sometime I suppose.

another one:

HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE:

WaitingTone

set to \windows\waitingtone.wav by default.

customise your waiting tone. be inventive ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stuartforrest:
I have spent the last couple of hours doing side by side tests on my freshly installed Touch Diamond and my overloaded and long since installed Touch Cruise.

I have applied both the tweaks on this forum which do seem to speed up the Diamond but after this the Diamond is still miles slower than the touch cruise.

I tried opening a 24k pdf attached to an email and the cruise does it in a couple of seconds and the diamond takes more like 6 to do the same.

It doesnt sound a lot but it adds up to a very sluggish diamond when compared against the cruise. It also adds up to me putting the diamond in the packet and sending it back on Monday morning. I am sick of messing about with it just trying to get it to work acceptably. The form factor is amazing but I may try again with one once proper UK stock becomes available. Interestingly I tried to register its serial on the HTC site but they said it wasnt a valid serial number!

Expansys will have one more touch diamond in stock by Tuesday,...Mine!

Re:

Changing File system cache to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072

Does anyone remember what the defaults were?

I think the first was auto, but can't remember what the second was.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PERSONA:
the second, as far as I remember, is disabled.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dangerpaki:
are you sure they didn;t just send you some demo model with reduced specifications. since the htc website is telling you the serial number is not valid. maybe that;s also causing the slowdowns
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] danny3358:
yes ... after the tweak .. the bettery can only support D about half day ..:mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stuartforrest:
No it came from HTC and is not a demo model. It is I believe Asian stock. It has a UK plug etc though.

Raising GLYPH Cache to 32000 has seemed to help the graphics aspect for TF3D!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WorldIRC:
Next Tweak needed...

The virtual scroll wheel does not work for reading emails and stuff. So far, it only works in Tom Tom for adjusting volume. For those that think I'm crazy, look close at the main button your keypad and you'll notice a ring around it with arrows. This is supposed to act as a scroll wheel like the physical wheel on the cruise!

Currently this appears to only function for me within Tom tom for volume adjusting (meaning the device is not physically defective).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Pharaohnough:
The functionality is definitely there but someone needs to figure out how to unlock it for all applications. The wheel also scrolls properly (i.e. like the Cruise) when zooming in and out of pictures. Wouldn't life be easier if the phone actually came with its full potential?? Like accelerated graphics, scroll wheel that works in all apps and the accelerometer that flips orientation in all applications?? Hopefully the genius minds of XDA will make all these possible :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] naser404:
The SW actually works for pictures (zoom-/+), browser (enlarge-/+) & also in emails & msg (enlarge-/+), Music (fastFW/Rewind).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Flexer:
I think what they want is for it to work as a scroll bar.. e.g. te side wheel on the first TyTn..

If you look at the Cruise, the HTC Album app.. When you "scroll the wheel" the photo selection will "scroll"... As I understood, in the diamond, nothing will happen (note again: not the photo preview, the photo list)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] creiz:
The "virtual scroll wheel" does not work for me, period. Am I crazy or what?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WorldIRC:
My virtual scroll wheel does not scroll in messages..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Radix999:
Awesome tweak - made the two filesystem tweaks (file system cache and file filter system cache) and it really has sped things up majorly for me.

Definitely interested in any other tweaks which people find - I've added this one to the wiki for the Diamond as it seems like a good one.

Use Advanced Config or enable the notification in Settings --> Personal --> Sounds and Notifications
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] n2ny:
What I meant is a sound or indication showing that sms sent is successful, not sms recieved, my moto Q9 will show a message that the sms you sent is successfull of not, thanks

What about the backlight going off on a call. Is there an easy way to correct that as someone who has little experience with Windows Mobile?

Thank you...

Marc
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Yes, there is. Search for the solution. It involves a registry edit, which will require a registry editor, but it shouldn't be too hard because the registry on WM looks pretty much the same as the registry on proper computers (obviously only in structure)...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] marcf:
Yeah, i have no idea how to do any of that. I'm kind of lost in regards to doing anything like that.

Thanks.

Marc
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
OK. Here it is, step by step. Ask questions if I've been unclear anywhere.

1. Download a registry editor, like PHM Registry Editor (the desktop installer will probably be the simplest).

2. Install the registry editor (you'll need to connect via Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Centre).

3. Run the registry editor (it will be somewhere in the list of programs).

4. You should see a tree of what looks like folders. You can treat these in a similar way to normal folders - their paths are specified in the same way. For example, 'HKLM\Software' would be the software 'folder' that appears when you press the '+' beside HKLM (by the way, HKLM, HKCU, etc. are fairly obvious abbreviations of the names of the four main 'folders').

5. Either find the keys specified here and change the values to the values specified ('edit' or 'modify' the keys (the things that look like they might be equivalent to files within the 'folders')), and/or try to find the keys specified here, and increase the values to whatever you like (they might be in seconds).

Now...Potential problems:

1. PHM registry editor doesn't work - It may not work, so try to find another registry edititor.

2. You can't work out how PHM Registry Editor works - Apparently "Context-sensitive help may be accessed while using the application by tapping on the Help item in the Start menu."

I hope that helps. As I said, if there are any problems or complications that I didn't forsee, ask and I'll try to help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] marcf:
WOW...thanks so much!!! I'll give it a try.

Marc
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] marcf:

Thanks.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
That's good. You're welcome. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] n2ny:
Any way to use the registry editor to enable it? if yes which HKLM? thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] baliles:
I have both of the registry settings to 0, and it still times out when on a call. Can I just increase the value to say 60 to be 60 seconds
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
You can...but I don't know if that will work. Sometimes when editing the registry, you just have to take risks. If it makes a mess of your device, you can always do a hard reset. In fact, it's good practice to backup everything before you do a registry edit.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jehlinger:
I made this change only (HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall to 0), and it does not time out during a call
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] gtpete:
sorry guys i am Newbie here.

can some explain where i can find the system folder on the phone that holds the registery key so i can make this change.

this problem is really annoying

You need to download a program to edit the registry, there are heaps

I use CeRegedit only because i don't have to install it on my device, its a desktop program where i can edit the info from my computer.

How do you backup your full phone?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rivmin:
Mine also hangs during bootup.

Stalls right after 'Tap here to launch TouchFLO'.

To make the hard reset, I have to turn the device on, press enter and volume-down simultaniously - but nothing happens.

Seems like the volume-down does not react (the light around the enter will light up as I press it).

Any other way to make a hard reset ?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] chaos42:
with a backup programm like sprite backup that came with your diamond...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rivmin:
Got it.

Removed the SIM-card, and a hard reset was possible.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Chatbox:
I guess the PDF manual wasn't near by...

1. Ensure the phone is on.

2. Press and HOLD both both vol-down and Enter/Select/Center keys.

3. With both of the above buttons still pressed down, use the stylus to press the red reset button, then release the reset button.

4. You'll be presented with a screen of text.

5. Release the vol-down and Enter/Select/Center keys.

6. Press vol-up to reset the phone. Or, Press vol-down to reset the phone AND format the internal 4GB storage.

Nothing to do with SIM-card in or out.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rivmin:
First I searched here for a solution, then I read through the manual, and did exactly what was written, but the phone did not react.

When I removed the SIM-card, the phone reacted as supposed to the written hard-reset method.

Yes, i solved it: Prevent screen switching off during phone call:

1) HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatteryTimeoutInCall set from 5 to 0

2) HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\BatterySuspendTimeoutInCall from 5 to 0

3) HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormandDisplayDuringCall from 1 to 0

Soft reset and this works for me! :)

Extending available language/keyboard selection

Hi - I'm new to all this, so sorry if the question is a stupid one. I'm trying to work out how to add a Russian Keyboard to my lovely new Diamond. Changing the standard international settings shows that WM6.1 supports Cyrillic, but the language list in the keyboard menu only has a handful of European options.

Having trawled for ages on this, I've not got far: Gullum's thread, as far as I can tell, has created an application for non-diamond devices and associated QVGA keyboard skins. I'm not sure if he hacked these from original Diamond VGA skins, or simply designed his own look-alikes? Anyway, I think my questions are:

1)To get a russian keyboard/keypad etc, do I need to install something or is it as simple as a registry tweak?

2) If it is a registry tweak, what is it?

3) If I need to install something, any clues where I find the files, and where/how I install them? I'd rather stick with the native keboard application and simply change skin than install a 3rd party keyboard app

Apologies again if I'm being stupid.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] minkol:
I suggest this too:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LightSensorPollingEnable to 0 (default 1)

During call the light sensor can also switch the backlight off. This setting will that disable.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] da-bitsch:
I would really appriciate if someone posted a short video with the Diamond in use after some of the tweaks (or at least just the "bigger cache" tweak) implied. I know a lot of ppl would want such a video! so be the fist on the internet to post it :)

The video dosen't have to be outstanding quality or anything... just a short presentation with the phone in use... Slide through some menues, and try to stress the phone a little with some fast switching between tabs/menues...

what are you expecting?

the diamond interface needs some time. so if you go to weather, it needs to load the weather page before you can continu. even with the tweaks. (i did not do the fatfs tweak, because it crashes my diamond)

if you do not wait for the interface to complete it's task it will not execute the next command correctly. f.e. go to weather, then go to home immediately after. it will go to the right in stead of to the left
