I think the owners of the North American version of Diamond are really left out. The model isn't even listed in their North American site, and many of the hot fixes will not install on the stock rom because the updates does not recognize the system. I put my serial number for the ROM Updates, but, every time, it returns the message that the update is not suitable for my device. Unless they release Rom specific to NA, we are stuck with Cooked Roms via HSPL.

And given the small market, I doubt HTC will release ROM specific to the NA Diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wilsas:
I gues if you ask someone who has a valid serial to download a new rom he maid do it, at least if somebody wants a Dutch rom I would do it.

Can you download a copy of your present rom and save that in case something wents wrong if you flash a rom which someone gave you.

Maybe its a good idea to make a database off roms.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wilsas:
In this threat there is a post whit a link to all the availleble roms, here you can find the roms

Hope you will find one for your needs.

Unfortunately this is very much the case. I have both the US 3G unlocked Diamond and the Touch Dual, and the US HTC site only supports carrier-supported phones, nothing unlocked, and all of the other HTC sites only support their specific phones. It sucks and I've been complaining to HTC about it, but no one seems to know what to do.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] davsug:
Bump on this. I'm on the 2.03.405.xx version, and the lack of keylock is driving me crazy. Is this bug present is the other versions of 2.03 too, or are we the lucky ones. HTC doesn't seem to want to aknowledge the problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
I dont seem to have the key locking problem - it works as before - press and hold and keys lock.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] omaga:
Are your sure what you are talking about, the key lock is there!! Look in phone settings. The key lock is a part of wm how can that be missing?? ist very strange if its gone only in your rom dont you think?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] davsug:
I mean the keylock where you hold down the end key for the keys to lock. The feature is there in settings, it just doesn't do anything. Holding the end key makes the screen flash, but not lock. I've seen a couple of other people on the board with the same issue,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] omaga:
Cant you choose in setting what the sofware should do? lock phone, disconnect dataconnection and so on? if you cant its very odd... did you do a hard reset after you flash the rom?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] davsug:
Yep. If I select the keylock option, it just doesn't do anything, and if I select the quick menu, that works, but if I select lock screen from there, it also doesn't do anything.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] igalan:
Mine works if I set it to keylock. But I have it set up to drop data connection.

BTW, I had to do a hardreset after installing the ROM because Opera didn't work properly. It's the first time that I have to do a hardreset to get a device work properly after installing a fresh ROM, and I've installed tons of ROMs, cooked or official.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] omaga:
Must test that my self, I have the disable connection choosed and that works

never tried lock screen if this not working so it is a bug;)

Tested on my 2.03.414 rom and its works as it should
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] omaga:
I do a hard reset after every rom flash, so the rom is installed properly so it can make a differens as igalan told. I have done this for years:) so its a old habbit i have:p but it can make the rom working better.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] The Jones:
I think this only happens when you have a password setup on the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Meiz-:
The same problem appears in Touch HD as well, but I haven't found any solution. Very annoying!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] davsug:
confirmed. I tried a hard reset and reflashed the ROM, and the keylock worked fine. Once I synced to Exchange and I had to set up the device passcode, the keylock stopped working, so for some reason it's conflicting with the Exchange-mandated passcode. Damn. Any fix/reg key for that?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] yltan:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
For me, their performance seems to be equal. I think that people mistake the time the animations take, and the fact that TouchFLO 3D doesn't react to gestures before they have been completed, as sluggishness, when it really isn't. I'd say that's HTC's thinking too, which is why they've decided to remove animations rather than optimise/speed up TouchFLO 3D.

Raising the number won't help - if that's the registry entry I think it is, you should be lowering the number. What that number defines is the number of numbers at the end of a phone number that have to match a contact's number before Windows Mobile assumes that the phone number corresponds to the contact. Obviously setting it to something as low as 1 will not be particularly helpful (unless you have very few contacts). Also, you should note that, for some reason, Windows Mobile doesn't ever seem to go back and match old texts or calls to contacts, so changes will only apply to new calls and texts.

You can edit the registry entries yourself, if you know how - I can't rememebr exactly where the entries are, but when I was modifying a friend's MDA Compact IV they were in a logical place. You can also edit the text shown on those buttons in the same part of the registry.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] FormerPalmOS:
This changed in SYS version 20954. It's not a bug - Microsoft decided we wanted it this way. LongEndKeyPress just simulates a keypress of F22. F22 used to call the KeyLock. With 20954 it changes to call DeviceLock if a PIN is set, KeyLock if not.

Search for and use TouchLockPro for screen locking.

If not using TF3D, the today screen lock plug-in works as you would expect.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wilsas:
I use SPB Mobile shell and whit that program I have a complete other in my opinion much friendlyer interface, I just checked with the 3DFLO and indeed there de softbutons are what you said but at the bottom menu you can easy pick the contacts aswell its the second tab (at least at my phone) look at the picture I can't see the problem.

The update installation really seems to be unstable. I've tried it with two differend Diamonds and both time it failed with corrupt image error. Second attempt updates smoothly.

I even did a hard reset on second device before the update...

Anyone else noticed this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ecidemon:
Here's an odd problem I think is connected with the update.

I was at a friends place yesterday and wanted to play some mp3's from the phone on the internal memory so I set it to connect as usb memory but the ps3 would not find it. Quite odd as I knew this worked before on my own ps3. So when I got home I tried it in my own ps3 but it would not show up there either any more. And the only thing I've done is update to latest firmware. Can anyone confirm?

Neither will it work with the xbox 360 but I don't know if it worked there to begin with

Connecting to PC works fine however.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] davsug:
Seems odd that this is the only one of all my WM 6.1 phones that has this screen lock bug. Every other phone I have (GSM & CDMA Treo Pro, US Diamond, 740, Xperia, etc) has a working screen lock with a long press of the end key in addition to the PIN lock. Is this 2.03 build the only one with 20954?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] zunken:
I find this key-lock bug very annoying too.

I´ve also found another bug in Opera. I cannot download any files with Opera with the new ROM. When i download e.g. a 6 mb .cab file to my internal storage, only 11 kb is downloaded when I look at the properties in Resco Fileexplorer. Ofcourse the .cab can´t be installed.

When I sent a mail to HTC they knew about this problem, but just told me to use IE.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have done a hard reset and reflashed the 2.03 ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Install this, and run it: http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/

Go to "HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila"

(For future reference, HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE is often abbreviated to HKLM).

Within the Manila 'folder' (again, technically it's called a key) you'll find a load of 'files' (values - things you can configure). Six of these are relevant to your problem, so I'll list them and describe what they do:

HomeLSKArguments - Arguments passed to the program run when the left soft key is pressed.

HomeLSKPath - The path to the program that you want to run when the left soft key is pressed (e.g. \Windows\fexplore.exe)

Home LSKText - The text that the left soft key displays.

HomeRSKArguments - Similar to HomeLSKArguments, but for the right soft key.

HomeRSKPath - Similar to HomeLSKPath, but for the right soft key.

HomeRSKText - Similar to HomeLSKText, but for the right soft key.

You don't have to use the arguments - they're just handy for starting up complex applications like the calandar or messaging application in a specific view or mode.

Anyway, I hope that helps. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 001mic:
there is a programm called softkeymanager - you can change the softkeys you described with this prog and dont have to edit the registry
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] angler:
I don't think you can use this application to change the soft key in Touchflo. The Touchflo is managed by the Manila and it is totally different from the soft key after you disalbe Touchflo. You have to follow what Dark Fire has mentoned in the previous post to change the soft key in Touchflo, not the soft key in default WM Today screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] whitefalcon:
Why go through all tht trouble in accesing the registry try Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3 it has every single tweak...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Trouble? It's no more trouble than using file explorer. And the registry editor gives you the ability to change far more settings than that configuration tool ever could. Also, it can help to solve problems (for example, I have to fiddle with my AGPS settings every now and then, because my GPS keeps on breaking).

(And no, turning off AGPS altogether does not fix anything).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Wilsas:
Yep your right that the flexebility which a reg editor gives you are far better but aswell the ability to f*** up with your register, for a starter advanced config is much safer.

memory leak is really bad with 2.03. Has this problem been solved?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] igalan:
Opera Mini 4.2 isn't working properly here :( . Sometimes after using it for a few minutes the top and bottom bars of Windows Mobile appear hiding the controls of Opera Mini. After that point you have to go to the home screen, close Java from the task manager and start over. Anyone else?

Start up time has always been the same for me, with my earlier ROM (1.93, I think) and 2.03. Which is way too long, but not much different from the Touch HD, for instance.

Memory use seems slightly better than with the earlier ROM. But I've not used long enough to acknowledge.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] iphone_fan:
According to them, the current download is only for starhub and m1 and not singtel. So stupid.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
Dont know if this is Rom Specific but is something ive only noticed since the upgrade.

I seem to lose signal far easier now than previously, and the diamond doesnt seem to be able to recover from losing signal. Only a reboot???

Very strange.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Just thought I'd define your term 'starter' a bit better. The registry on Windows Mobile is basically the same as the registry you find on any desktop version of Windows, so anyone with anything more than a basic experience with computers should be happy with using the registry.

I don't think the task manager takes any longer to start - TouchFLO 3D just starts really fast now, sometimes beating the task manager and therefore giving the impression that the task manager is taking longer to startup.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications > Event: New text message.

Perhaps you need to re-flash. If anything, mine's slightly faster at finding a signal after it looses its signal than it was before.#

(Sorry for splitting this into two posts - I didn't notice the later posts initially).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jporch316:
Thanks - I might try a reflash anyway as the first attempt failed (corrupt file error) and I had a major crash (which was something to do with call history tab and reordering tabs). Ive had a few niggles since. I have noticed a major battery improvement though.

The only thing that has stopped me is the thought of backing up again!

Key lock problem.

Hi all.

I was going to post a new thread about this, then realised it has been covered here after sifting through many of the posts.

Long press cannot lock the key. Even when I set it up to do the 'quick menu', when I press lock, the device just flashes.

I have read that this is related to the security pin which affects this.

Does anyone have a solution to have the device secure and the keys locked?? Is pressing the power key the only option?

Advice appreciated!!

No more dropped calls, better voice

I drive 40km across cities back and forth while on the phone everyday and I no longer get any dropped calls... and 3-4 dropped calls a day while going from one tower to the next was common before with 1.93. But seriously... not even one dropped calls after more than a month right now.

Also phone calls sound better now.. seems to clip less. With the old ROM, even with the volume low, calls still sound clipped... so distorted and loud it hurts my ears.. especially when I'm using a headset all the friggin time.

GPS just died though... not sure if it's related. It's going back for warranty. :mad:

My GPS has been dodgy for months - since I upgraded to 1.93. The new ROM hasn't fixed it, unfortunately.

Sorry but the problem seems to have gone away all by itself. I've been using Opera Mini with no more problems lately :confused: . What I did the first time was switch Opera Mini to portrait mode, at least that way I could still see the left menu to quit when it went wrong. Now I have it back in portrait mode. I haven't changed anything, so I don't know it the problem will come back or not.

Just wondering how i enable gps on a newley liberated rom - w/o installing a one of the custom roms with it embeded?

Thanks in adv

[Shift Development] Neutron83:
Please,

extract the GPS enabled ROM then copy the needed DLL's extract your rom put HTCGPS tool on it and recook your rom and flash it, i would expect there is no cab done with a one click install for liberated shift, also it would be ver less space to add iGO or such to the shift in a liberated rom.

cmonex did this stuff for the GPS enabld rom, if you have further questions try to ask her and PLEASE read & search the forum FIRST before you write noob questions to her.

Very interesting topic, but some inacurate in its name...

Neutron83, I do not undestand this steps too - very dreary, some cookings... Intricately!

I want to enable GPS on native liberated ROM - without reflashing it. Is it possible?

And what is the way to invite attantion ofcmonex to this topic?
[Shift Development] thaihugo:
cmonex did not provide gps to shift, I did.

I provided a cab for that. Only problem with the cab method is that you lose sound and you must run drivers manually after soft rest.

You cannot have gps and sound with this method, as an important file needs to be replaced for that, and only rom flashing can do this. Uninstalling the cab and soft reseting solves that.

BTW, flashing my rom is the same than liberating the snapvue, and adding gps drivers. Nothing is added or deleted (mostly)

You mean put a Diamond ROM on the MDA IV??? Wouldn't that cause problems with the hardware buttons? Because T-mobile switched them...

Other way around, moving the MDA onto a HTC. Surely they have the same buttons and hardware? Just a different looking back and logo?

On the Diamond the "call" and "end call" buttons are positioned on the bottom and the "home" and "back" buttons are positioned above the "call" and "end call" buttons.
