Ok, I've just finished reading all 26 pages, and it's clear that no one has 3G data working in the US yet... only GPRS/EDGE.

My question is: is it possible that 3G data CAN work in the US with just a ROM/Radio update from HTC?? I thought that the HTC Diamond was actually lacking some HARDWARE that prevents it from being able to use 3G data in the US...

Can someone who knows the true workings of these phones (which means, not me), answer this one for me? If I know that I'll likely eventually be able to get 3G data in the US on a Asia/Europe version of this phone from just a firmware/radio update, I'll purchase one today!

Can I ask where you bought your device?

@securegsm

The problem is that when i use the "phone" option from the home tab it only shows last calls. If dialing a new number your idea works but you cant get to contacts to look up the number you want to dial. Sure i can use "people:all contacts" but that is a lot slower.

More to the point is why did it change to video call - i suspect that less than 1% of all calls are video and at the rate that bastid fone companies in Oz charge for data it is prolly even less !!!

There must be a way to change "video call" to "contacts"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lolento:
i dont think anyone will give u definitive answer on this.

but i would bet on that the 850 hspda band is enable in software.

i already said this way back when.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2303159#post2303159

there is a lot of things that wont add up if qualcomm needs a specific different input pin for the 3g 850 band antenna. this makes the manufacturing of visually identical devices more complicated. worldwide logistics is also another problem... not to mention it makes the older gen chipset more advance than current gen.

my guess is htc disabled the 850 band in software to discourage importers.

it also makes sense that the hk rom had 850 edge enabled but not 3g. 3g network is not popular in hk

If you have a Hong Kong HTC branded phone, you can register with HTC here and downlaod it: http://www.htc.com/hk-en/ (register a e-club)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helpme:
3g IS popular in HK, just that we don't use 850Mhz at all. So HTC only need to enable 850Mhz 2G for its user to travel around the world.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] SecureGSM:
Sorry, incorrect.

choose:

menu--> view-->"calls and contacts"

now just type some of the contact name or surname. for an instance, we are looking for John:

5 (JKL) --->J

6 (MNO)--->O

4 (GHI)--->H

6 (MNO)--->N

now, all contacts containing JOHN are highlighted.

finger scroll through highlighted contacts or just use "arrow down" (joystick) to select the contact you are after.

to make voice call you can do one of the following:

1. tap the contact with you finger

2. press joystick (centre)

3. press send button
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Lolento:
well, may be just me but i travel to hk for business a couple times and most people i met there prefer not to have 3g... i was told reason being they dont like video calls so their boss would know where they are.

First post here in a longtime, so i am classed as a noob. Anyway I have been reading the forums for 2 weeks now, i would say i am a lot less confused know thanks to http://www.modmydiamond.info and have flashed my UK Orange diamond about 5 times now. I think this is the best ROM so far.

My phone did do a strange thing last night. It was about 10 mins after the flash finished. It was still connected to my laptop via USB and the finish window of the flash program was still on the display. The Laptop went into either screensaver mode or standby i can't remember which, my diamonds screen faded to black as if it was going to be flashed again, then lots of coloured lines appeared vertically on the phone (it was not the tri colour hard spl screen). I did a soft reset and everything has been fine since.

Just thought i would let people know what happened to me.

Hey securegsm

Thanks for your reply .... yes u are correct & your method will indeed work but it requires a minimum of 4 steps.

The original "contacts" saved me all that xtra effort & thats all I need back. You are based in Oz - who do you know that uses video call as their usual method of dialing considering the onerous data charges in Oz?

Prior to the upgrade I had "contacts" not "video call" .... please can someone suggest how to revert to the preferred option ???

TIA

Just with regards to video call in Australia:

Optus Cap $49 plan:

National Video Calling (per 30 seconds) 50c, Flagfall (per video call) 35c

National Voice Call rate (per 30 seconds) 40c Flagfall (per call) 35c

As you can see, there is no much difference at all. I know few people that do use video mostly for personal calls though. It is nice to get in visual touch with your friends and loved ones (from time to time) :)

Flash fine.. But does not boot properly !!!

Great Rom.. I flashed it last night.. It is Super Fast.. However.. After the flash.. When the device gets booted for the first time.. The device freezes on the customization screen.. specifically while loading the Opera application files.. so when i remove the battery and re start the phone.. everythin is fine.. But OPERA... TF3D do not get loaded onto the device.. I then installed the tf3d cab file... and that works like a charm.. but when i try to do the same thing for opera.. it does not get loaded and gives me an error saying "THIS VERSION OF THE ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED"... Please help... I really like this ROM !!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Runway101:
I am in Hong Kong and if my boss would try to make a video call to me I'd simply not accept it end of story. I guess most people with a high tech phone such as Diamond go with 3G/HSDPA etc... especially with the unlimited plans they have around here.

I bought my Diamond today (Cruise USB port broke down and HTC support took it for repair). Unfortunately the shop sold me a non-HK version, I don't even know where they imported it from. I've of course asked if this is a HK version but that's HK you know... I should have known better but seems there is no stock in the other shops of the official HTC English version.

It came with a German type plug on the charger, but somehow I couldn't find any indication where the phone is from. Anyhow, after the initial vendor_id error I've used Hard-SPL (thanks OliNex!) and updated it anyway. All seems to work fine, but I am still installing and testing...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Runway101:
I'd love to, but could you let me know how to import? I don't have regedit on my HTC Diamond, nor am I aware of a free app that does the same.

Upgrade 1.34 to 1.93 works great but missing features on dialer

Hi guys,

Just wondering anyone uses this new ROM ver. 1.94 has issue with missing feature of contact on dialer? Instead of "contact" it shown "video call" (of course this for 3G). I am using this version for none 3G network. Thus, I did downgrade back to stock ROM

Thank you for respond,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] hiep:
I don't see "send" button from dialer of new ROM version and no contact. I had downgrade as new version takes extra steps for each call on none 3G network. Would you have a work around solution?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] fillippe:
TF3D works much faster in this ROM and doesn't need any of the performance tweaks previously used for earlier ROMS. Tweaks to free up memory are a good idea, but some of the TF3D performance tweaks use extra memory, so not using them leaves more memory.

When you apply a theme with Diamond TF3D Config other than the default 1.93 theme then TF3D tweaks do arguably become necessary. You can always restore the default theme.

Parrot 5800M

after a few weeks on this HK ROM, I must say I like it a lot. Speed is much faster than my shipped WWE ROM. I only have noticed one flaw. In the morning when I use the TD with my Parrot 5800M for music etc, all is well but at night after a day's use it always seems to have difficulty to connect again to my Parrot only until after I soft reset the TD again things work well again.

I do see they connect as the player starts but no sound is transferred from TD to Parrot. As I said this only happens after a days use. Strange. Didnt observe this issue with the original ROM.

anyway as the speed is much better of the HK ROM I'll except this small setback

I flashed HardSPL 1.93 Olinex.

This alow me to flash any ROM in my device.

As I did, please flash only Shipped Signed or Cooked Signed ROM especialy if you are new in this universe.

As a summary from the oter posts:charge your baterry before start flashing,use a native USB port in your PC (not USB HUB),disable screen saver in your PC,do not disconect device after flash started...and do not let the kids around... ;)

After HardSPL 1.93 was installed I proceed with the ROM frome post #1:

Hong Kong Official WWE ROM - 1.93.831.1 WWE 52.29.25.12H_1.00.25.05

Missing 'contacts' link on dialer

Im going to repeat a question that someone else asked several days ago and did not get an answer for.

When clicking on 'phone' on the lower left side it switches to the dialer page. On the lower left side it used to change to 'contacts' but now it changes to 'video call'.

Is there ANY way to change it back to the way it was? it was a LOT more convenient to have it that way - especially when trying to dial while driving or doing any other activity (as opposed to pressing 'start menu' the having to look for the 'contacts' link...)

I know its a small thing but Im actually thinking of downgrading back because of this issue alone...

Can ANYONE help with this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] epimazzo:
That's really sounds bad down here...:mad:

I got a friend's diamond to solve many issues including 3G connection over Claro network.

So, what I understand is that although we now have 850 enable by using 1.00.25.05 + newest ROM 1.93, we still can't connect to HSDPA Claro network at all? Is that right? F$#%#

Why?

That's funny. I'm also own a HTC Cruise which is running fine over HSDPA. All functions, connectivity, etc....are completely on and operational.

So, if we are thinking that something is weird about 3G Claro network on Diamonds, why Cruise devices are normal?

Sounds that Diamond devices need more attention specially in Sao Paulo. Shouldn't be ok even manually setting up the band?

I need more technical explanations over here to really know what is causing this behaviour. No clues....no idea...
