hey just a couple more

7. When connecting to PC via USB you get a 3rd choice - internet sharing (as well as active sync and disk drive)

8. HTC flo text message section now has a forward option as well as reply and delete - no need to view all messages to forward

ill keep you posted (or not if no one is interested)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] owziee:
Thanks for the replies :)

I feel like the Sliding Bar on answering calls helped me decide to upgrade, even though I'll loose the flipping envelopes :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
Sliding Bar is good

Ability to forward text message from Touch flo is good

The rest are the icing on the cake!!!

Good luck - I had a bit of a scare with my upgrade last night - it stopped on 60% and told me the image file was corrupt. Worked second time though from the same file???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TheItalianDude:
First bug: if you have activated a security PIN (like me) you can't block the phone keeping pressed the phone down button. The screen goes black for a fraction of second but the phone doesn't block.

Another thing I didn't notice before (so I'm not sure if it was the same in previous versions): you can add only 15 persons to your favorite contacts (the "Add to Favorites" buttons just disappears). BTW, is there any tweak to increase this limit?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
its always been 15

I use speed dials - easier and possibly limited to 100 (not sure)

The favourites has always annoyed me - you cant seem to change the order in which they appear and they look boring without a picture (IMO)!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] igalan:
There's also a new Java engine, better than the old one. At least better for Opera Mini 4.2, fonts are now bigger and easier to read.

A recommended update.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
My envelopes are flipping fine.... just as they always have!

And for anyone's who's interested; if you've been using any of the cooked ROM's which have been released recently, you won't notice any difference with this official release because the ROM cookers have been using v2.03 for weeks! :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sleehond:
9. Agenda from home screen works correct now. Choose the view u'd like to see, (day, week, month whatever) and it will open up correctly right now, when opening Agenda from home screen.

10. When u select agenda or calls on the home screen, it will be selected by green. When u finished looking agenda or calls, and return to the home screen, the green selected option is gone, a clear screen with no green. (before the thing was always green when u turned back, it frustrated me :D )

Just 2 things i recognized!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hubert77:
I saw it at Singapore web site http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=483&news_id=44
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TheItalianDude:
They do indeed, but thanks to Facebook I have pictures for all of my favorite friends...

I'll give a look to speed dial too
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sgerinckx:
with this new rom, i have a problem:

when i receive a message and open it with tf3d i can't type prompt.

i have to move down the text to see the last message and then i have to put the cursor on the correct place.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wilsas:
Its a rom update but is it aswell a radio update?

Willem
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jonfun:
Noobie question,

As The HTC website won't accept my Orange UK Diamond S/N, would it be okay to download from another source, or do I have to wait until Orange to approve the newer ROM, and publish on their website (:confused:)

many thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wilsas:
As far I now Orange use a own brand rom and when you start using a other rom you will lose your waranty, ofcoarse you can get a other rom just ask someone here to upload it, but you can use than aswell a coocked rom.

Willem
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] yrreP:
Yeah, correct. Orange will distribute their own ROM's.

11. AKU version has been updated to allow synchronisation to two PC's (fixing the Activesync error 0x86000107).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
Hey

A little bug that I found last night - I installed nadavvi-nadavvi-call-history cab - which installs an extra call history tab to the touchflo menu

Afterwards everytime i tried to access sms through touchflo i kept getting unexpected errors in manila.exe.

As soon as i uninstalled the call history tab sms started working again. Shame as i had this installed with the older rom with no probs and it is quite handy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] owziee:
I've decided to do the upgrade tonight but I have a question:

All my apps are installed in the 4GB Internal Storage (Not the phone memory). Will the Internal Storage be viped out aswell during the upgrade?

If not, I guess all apps will be useless anyway since the registry is viped. Do you recommend uninstalling all the apps before the rom upgrade???
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
The internal storage will be left alone, but you will ineded probably still need to reinstall all of your apps due to the registry wipe. I don't think uninstalling any appds before the upgrade makes a difference.

Changes I've noticed that haven't already been mentioned:

- Adding multiple tasks is easier (with the 1.93 ROM, after adding one task, I had to type a space before the app started accepting the name of a new task).

- Clarification on the email flipping: The email thing does still flip, but when you first go to the tab, the envelope just fades in (unless you have no messages, in which case it will fade in if you switch to an account that does have messages).

- A lot of tabs used to fade in, but now they don't.

- 'White' areas of TouchFLO 3D (e.g. the music library and the sound settings bit) used to fade in, but now they don't.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
Nope - internal storage remains intact for anything stored there documents / photos etc. (I would make a backup just in case - I did but it was not needed)

Unfortunatley even if you installed programs to the internal storage they will still not function and will need to be reinstalled afterwards.

Active sync up - make sure your contacts are backed up in outlook. Browse your phone - copy and paste your internal storage folder onto your PC. Theres also a folder called Dictionary which I copied to my pc assuming it was my custom dictionary with all the words Ive added.

Just copy em back accross when finished with the upgrade
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
I think this is to make the whole experience faster - finger flipping speedier!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
They should give us a choice. It definitely is faster now, but I had no problems with the speed of the original ROM, which had an amazing amount of animation (remember the 3D tab switch animations?).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] igalan:
The internal storage is not changed, you can leave your applications there, but you'll have to reinstall them anyway.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wilsas:
You don't lose anything from your internal storage but have to install everything again, at least thats what I am doing even whit a backup availleble , cause this backup sets aswell the register settings back and I don't now or the register will accept all the changes made by the rom upgrade.

Willem
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ecidemon:
Small tweak to the image viewer, when you select albums device and internal storage is separated. It will also scroll one page at the time if you press the arrows. Nice :)

G-Sensor calibration app is now included.

Also now my phone auto detected all data connection settings upon first boot.

Still a typo in the camera app if you go to settings > advanced, button "go back" is spelled wrong (Swedish unbound rom)

Touch flo seems a bit faster.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] owziee:
I really appreciate all the help... Thanks. Well I'll just leave the internal storage as it is and reinstall my apps after the upgrade. I'm looking forward to experience the new rom running on my device later tonight :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bambax:
Yea you gonna have to re-install all your hard earned programs. Backed up my whole phone but after the update all my music and documents were there. You to backup mainly your outlook stuff. Oh i had a problem restoring my data with sprite backup. It's worth it though!!!:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peerlesschino:
can someone post the new rom somewhere? please

This ROM for Orange Diamond

Hey all,

I have an Orange (UK) Diamond, so I will have to wait a while to see this new ROM from Orange I guess.

Is there a way I can get hold of the HTC version? (my serial no. obviously won't work on the HTC site) - I've got no probs voiding the warantee on my device.

If not, think I might try one of the cooked ROMs - have successfully flashed my Vox and Tornado in the past so will be OK with this - but can't see a noob guide for flashing the Diamond - can anyone help point me in the right direction? cheers.

Also, I can see a variety of cooked ROMs for the Diamond - recommendations?

Cheers for any help.

Is Opera still at the 9.5 1522 version ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Teppic24:
Look here for the HTC ROMS:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=471699

For the English ROMS go for either RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_2.03.401.2_Radio_Signed_Dia mond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship or RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_2.03.405.2_Radio_Signed_Dia mond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship (I have 2.03.401.2 on my phone).

Please be aware though that there is a problem installing these ROMs via an Activesync connection. You need to flash from Internal Storage. Also, make sure you have HardSPL installed before you flash.

Instructions for flashing from internal storage:

Extract the RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_2.03.401.2_Radio_Signed_Dia mond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship.exe file (or whatever one you are wanting to flash) to a new directory on your PC

Find the RUU_signed.nbh file in this new directory and rename it to Diamimg.nbh

Copy Diamimg.nbh to the root of Internal Storage

Hold in the volume down button + the back button (thats the top right button on the front to the right of the big middle jog control) + soft reset

Follow instructions on screen

When the process is complete (it will say UPDATE SUCCESS) then reset
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Omnivore:
Something else I noticed since I upgraded to the new rom:

When playing music with the HTC music player and then pressing the power button to put the phone in stand-by, the music player stops! I used to play mp3's while cycling or in the train and to avoid accidently pressing the screen I turned the backlight off. Now I can't do this anymore...

When the phone automaticly goes to stand-by after the designated time the player does keep playing however.

I don't know if it did this before on standard settings, or if I changed something to keep the player awake, but it's annoying.

Does anyone have a solution?

edit: I was playing without headphones, with headphones the music keeps playing.

One workaround is to lock the phone first, after which the screen will turn off by itself and the music keeps on playing :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wilsas:
I Use Pocket player which is a much better player and it doesn't have the problem which you have

When using touch flow Weather,Now apears firt an update icon

I notice that the phone calls have a better sound.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Chris1974:
Something I found in the new ROM was that the activesync does not start automatically anymore!!! I hated that in the past and now it looks like they fixed it... Great! :D

UK 2.03 Rom update

hi i have installed the new rom and i cannot find anything new at all apart from it is faster but to me this is because the nice 3d fadeing things have gone is this the only way HTC can speed up this device, lets hope the new windows mobile 6.5 will bring our fones up there with the big boys
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sleehond:
6.5?

You mean 7.0 i think ;)?

But when will it be availble? And will we be able to download it for free from the windows update part on our ROM?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jsmith_00:
no 6.5 there is beta's doing the rounds now
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jchoong:
Same problem here; guess we have to wait for the Singtel specific ROM upgrade.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Sleehond:
I thought Windows Mobile 7.0 was the next one.... :confused:

And where can i find 6.5 then?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] owziee:
I completely lost the gprs functionality after the update... I've been trying for several hours to get it working again, the connection wizard adds the settings automatically and those should work fine & I've tried manually aswell :(

It's weird because mms works fine and it uses gprs to transfer the data. Wifi & everything else works good also but now my phone feels useless since I can't use the internet anywhere except via wifi at home.

I don't have any static ip wifi connection either, so it's not the bug...

Help please!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wilsas:
I had the same problem after the upgrade but after a hard reset the problem was solved, usualy its the best thing to do after a upgrade is give your phone straight away a hard reset.

Willem

I've just tried a hard reset, still the same problem, damn :(

Opera does not display flash content any more after the update

Does anybody else have the problem that opera does not display flash content any more after the update?

I called htc support and they told me to re-install flash lite. I've got a download link to flash lite, installed it but it didn't change anything... In the opera settings I can set the checkmark at "use plugins" but opera does not keep this setting. Also a hard reset did not solve this issue...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] KraFT_mk:
Great speed improvment.

5th day, no complaints.

Highly recomended!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
You should keep more up-to-date. 6.5, 7 and 8 (rumored to be based on Midori rather than Windows CE) are the currently known future milestones for the OS.

It always had Google Maps - the new ROM has an updated version (pretty much the same, but with a new icon).

My Touch Diamond has always behaved in that way - to keep the music going, you have to have the headphones plugged in, or let the phone turn the screen off itself.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] igalan:
No problem here, music keeps playing once I turn it off, as before.

Ops, I am using headphones, I see you mean using the speaker. I don't know about that, I don't listen music that way.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] omaga:
scroll wheel on photos work with my stock rom.. You meen in Album?

This 2.03 rom is forsure much better then 1.37 rom i had in my phone at start ;) and must say that im glad they atleast HTC tryes to make it better

we now have seen 1.37, 1.93, 1.96, 1.97, 2.00, (2.01) and now 2.03 drivers and improvments have been made

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mike.waters:
Sprite back up

Do please note that after upgrading your ROM, you should NOT use Sprite back up tool to restore your settings and applications.

Using Sprite Restore function will reset your registry settings to those that were used by the previous ROM version. This leads to some very strange bugs and behaviour.

Only route is to reload your apps from the original cab files, and restore the settings manually.

By the way, did anyone notice if this new ROM has an impact on the random ActiveSync disconnect problems experienced on the Diamond?

Hickups in IE

I get hickups and freezes in Internet Explorer time after time in this ROM and the tabs in Touch Flow take a 'long' time to load...I'm not satisfied yet. Have set the known tweaks this evening, have to work with it for a while to get e decent experience...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Proxie_dk:
Well a bit offtopic question. How do I get this upgrade?

The problem is , i cant use the download from HTC.com :(

My phone was bought by previous owner from '3 mobile' and they release their own branded upgrade.

Is the a way to convert my phone to standard HTC? (I heard terms like Hardcpl , but i dont know what it is)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
I preferred 1.37 to both 1.93 and 2.03, because the main changes in the newer ROMs are the progressive removal of animations from TouchFLO 3D.

For me, the tabs taks as long as usual to load, but appear to load faster, due to the lack of 3D animation (removed between 1.37 and 1.93) and fading in (removed between 1.93 and 2.03).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ricky.magalhaes:
Bug on keylock

I also noticed that the key lock does not work properly, this is an annoying problem,

If you hold down the kill call button, then the screen flashes but does not lock the device, its like the device lock window is not in focus, its behind TF3D, cause if you then press the power button to blank the screen, right after that press a button the key lock is there... What poor testing on HTCs side this is something that is apparent right away...

Hope this is fixed soon as the device can not be locked properly! Not only is it annoying but a security vulnerability.

:eek:

I'm having problems with Opera, after some navigation, when I quit it freezes the whole device and I have to reset. It will need a hard reset and test from scratch, but I don't have much time, so I will leave it alone and use my HD until I can try it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JeremyGuan:
sounds like a good upgrade. will give it a shot :)

Edit:

Any chance to retrieve back all the sms after the Rom upgraded? I have all my contacts, sms, photos, videos back-up at Dashwire.com. wonder how to put it back to the sms tab :(

Yes I liked that too the animation in 1.37...but beside that can you say that 1.37 performed better then 2.03?? So if I can choose between fancy outfit or performance I choose performance.

There is a software from Jevo that can synchronize SMS to your Outlook folder. You may restore all Outlook folders back to your device after ROM upgrade.

Did anyone upgrade and then restore his/her apps with SPB backup? I noticed Sprite not working well, but SPB is supposed to have a special choice of restore-after-ROM-upgrade. I'd hate to have to reinstall all my apps and registry settings.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wilsas:
If you mean that you want to set back your old backup over your new upgrade I wouldn't advice it just because the backup is aswell the entire register and thats been changed in the update.

Spb backup works well to make a backup with the new upgrade.

See it as a possebility to change aswell the things which you think could be beter in your old backup.

Willem
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Brainscanner:
Hm, I have the problem that ActiveSync gives me the message "Waiting for network". That usually happens in the morning when Pushmail starts working. After restarting ActiveSync it worked again.

But now the task manager isn't displaying ActiveSync in the list of active tasks anymore. Does anyone know help?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bartveld:
Well, I was just wondering; SPB offers explicitly the option to restore after a ROM-update. You'd expect them to take into account the fact that the registry has changed, although I don't really know how that should work. The restore-function would have to "know" which keys to overwrite and which to leave alone.

Communiceren via een omweg! Bart, Leiden.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] K69:
I tried to restore with that "restore after rom-upgrade".

Result was a sometimes very slow phone and a few bugs.

Oh, and the systeminfo said 1.93 after the restore, and not 2.03. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bartveld:
OK, thanks. I'll take the long route, again. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] yltan:
Tried from 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 but still the same. Change the registry and through Advance configuration 3.3 and soft reset but the problem still remain. Reall need to rectify this.

Where do you get the update from?

I have an US unlocked version and the US HTC page doesn't list the upgrade, and in the Worldwide version I get an error stating that the download is not for my S/N.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
Ok - i cant remember if this was the same pre the upgrade - I think not - when entering a recipient into a text sms message - the letters appear down the side of the contacts (as per the contacts screen).

It was always a pain adding a recipient and this i think was intended to make it less so!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
Is the serial number used in the download in any way? Does the update downloaded for a certain serial number work on all diamonds? If so then you should be able to get hold of a copy somewhere
