[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dsixda:
Great post!

I've said the same thing about my Diamond since I got it over a month ago.. "Love/Hate relationship". I posted a rant about the Diamond on this forum and others after I got it, and I wanted to throw it away. I went back to my old trusty HTC Touch for a few weeks, but then returned to the Diamond after the New Year. Now I've gotten used to the Diamond and its little issues, and have learned to live with it.

The only problems I still have are -

Sometimes I push the wrong button accidentally when I want to press Left or Right direction ... but I get it right 95% of the time now ;)

TFLO3D is slow and choppy when sliding through tabs (TFLO2D on my Touch was way smoother and faster).. but this is not a big deal

Battery drains like crazy, can't get through an entire day of moderate use. But can be solved by turning off 3G and using Edge instead; and also I'm receiving the official HTC extended battery soon.

Scroll feature (e.g. for zooming in Opera Mobile) doesn't work all the time.. On the same program it sometimes works, and sometimes it stops working.

Form factor (too tall) - Still trying to get used to it, especially for typing, because my original HTC Touch was perfect size!

The biggest pluses for me are:

VGA screen - great for viewing webpages and spreadsheets

Built-in GPS - wasn't working with iGuidance until I ran GpsGate first.. and also disabled Data (I later created a Mortscript that runs/closes GpsGate with iGuidance automatically for me now)

FM Radio!

I think after a while you will get used to it. The Diamond packs so many features into a tiny size, which is the great thing about it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WMguy:
Ditto on all this stuff. You guys are not alone. I actually loved and hated my Diamond so much that I sold it and then bought another one about 3 weeks later because I missed it too much!!

I basically tolerate its shortcomings for all the stuff I love about it.:) Ideally, give me the Diamond's specs in the Touch's body and I'd be mega happy.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dneknw:
There's got to be another phone better, do any of the newer HTCs perform any better?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nuke1:
Tbh I felt like this as well from my old Elfin (with Dsixda's ROM :p).

BUT, just flash udK's Beta 8 which is super smooth TF3D, battery life WITH 3G lasted me a day easily (approx. 18 hours) with 20% battery left.

If that isn't enough then flash the radio in my sig, ending with .08.

Everything is perfect. Now all I want is WM6.5, hehe.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dneknw:
Dutty's v3.6b is pretty good, speakerphone still sucks, for example is ROM: udK Syrius HD R0 Beta 8 better???? Let the drama begin.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] freeflyer:
surely this overcomplicated feature (and i agree with you) is down to owning a winmo, and not anything to do with the diamond.

Yes, the phones complicated, if you want it to be. Use it as a phone only (ie just touchflo) and its absoutely fine ! its a normal phone (apart from the standby/lock issue).

Its only when you tinker with windows and apps that suddenly it becomes complicated, but thats the nature of the best. TBH its WHY i bought a smartphone, but yes, i now find it a minefield of tweaks and apps. But, i love it !! i 've never used a phone so much for so long after i bought it. Normally, it'd just sit on my desk. This one i find myself picking it up at least once an hour to mess about with it.

For the last ten years i've just owned a phone. Now, i own something else.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nuke1:
Try it. I've tried around 15-20 ROMs and this leads by example. I think it's using the ROM base from Iolite, which seems better to me than even the latest 2.03 base, since the battery life with this is just amazing, while TF3D couldn't be smoother.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] littlej:
hey Dsi nice to see you in diamond forum :) i loved your rom for elf i still run it and its perfect :) thanks again for it, so one question can u post a short how-to to fix that gps isue wich moust of us have ? thanks a lot :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] daeshawn:
Hey i read dsixda's rant when he had posted it and being that i trust his comments i stayed away from the diamond until the very day my elfin got upset and fumbled out of my hand into a puddle, just as i was walkin into the rogers plus store to pay my bill. needed a phone so picked up the diamond...hated her for a bit but molded her into my own perfect device...i still dont think she's better than my elfin but she's a damn good rebound lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dneknw:
So in the end......we ended up breaking up. No more Diamond....I have mixed emotions about it, but you can be damn sure my next baby is going to be hot as hell. Maybe the SE Xperia, or Asus P835. Really hope that all Window Mobile 6.1 devices are not as complex as my last.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lewmoker:
i use 6 months before i decided to change from SE K810i to diamond. well, k810i served me good especially the cybershot as i'm quite picture snappy and take a lot of picture. not to mention all java games i've downloaded. heck, until now i havent try all games i have.

i've been using 2 pda before, iPaq rx1700 and after that dell axim x50v and i must say that bringing 2 gadget is quite unfriendly most of the time.

i'm sacrificing the camera for functionality when i went to diamond.

sometimes when i want to take picture, k810i is way much better. you just slide down the camera cover and then snap. when with diamond, you need to on, go to camera and the wait to load.... damn...

still missing my k810i though....;)

when I click fn+ spacebar

I see

1. xt9 english

2. abc

3. languages

4. about xt9

what I want is to have another keyboard layout preloaded in the selection for easy switch, eg.

1. xt9 english

2. abc

4. abc (in this case, it's French AZERTY keyboardlayout *.kmap.txt)

5. languages

6. about xt9

i know that if I want to switch keyboar layout qwerty<->azerty I need to reboot but I just want to know if there was a easy way.

also I'd like to know how to enable 123 and symbols in that selection.

thank you in advance.

Hi there! I know some ppl already did discuss this on the forums and I tried what ppl have said earlier with paperclips and my pen and even tried loads of headphones playing around! I even broke my pen for trying so hard!

SO basicly for whoever doesnt know its stuck in headset mode and I cant call or receive calls without headphones wich is quite anoying! Im guessing it might be something that broke inside of the jack1.5mm not sure tho dunno how it works!

So Im guessing is there any chance to put it back on normal mode via software? registry ? or something like thaT? or any of you has any idea on a workaround for this? plz give me some ideas since Im out of them! realy dont wanna take the phone to SE to take like 25days and to pay loads of money since I aint got warranty!

Cheers

oh forgot to say it started from nowhere I dont put headphones in the phone for like 3months or more! yesterday just took it out of my pocket and it was stuck in headset mode for some reason!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonlazio:
plug your headphone to 3.5mm jack again and unplug it carefully, make a call after doing it, it should work, if it doesn't, try again and this time, unplug it as fast as yu can:d i hope it will help, try it till it work:d, if it doesn't work after 5 times, try to hard reset:d
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0brega:
tried it all more than 50 times lol so Im guessing only a registry tweak or something would make the phone work again properly even if it disables the headset mode im fine with it since I realy dont use headphones....
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonlazio:
did you try a hardreset? maybe it will help, when it happen in my old o2 miniS, i plug it several times but it still doesn't work, but 1 day later, it works again:d
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david_ahs:
This happened to me way back with my i-mate Jam. No idea if it is the same issue, but this is how I solved:

1) Plug the head-phones in.

2) Power off the phone (soft-reset), leaving the head-phones plugged in.

3) Power the phone back on again.

4) When the phone has fully booted to the today screen, remove the head-phones.

As I said, this worked on the i-mate Jam, but no idea if it is the same issue.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbommade:
have you updated your ROM recently? I noticed this when I updated to Itje's 2.3 or 2.4 version(dont remember correctly). immediately reverted back to 2.2 which is stable and fast. right now.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0brega:
yeap tried hard reset and even soft-reset with headphones on and turning on back again and then plugging them off

nothing!

doesnt even blink

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolver1ne:
Same problem here. My phone is inside the pocket most of the time with headset plugged in. And moving around seems to affect the connection after a while. Now I have to plug it in and then while removing it wiggle it a bit around. Contacts are getting stuck most likely. Also when I remove it, it seems to be stuck more secure than it used to.

Any way to fix it yourself?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Try turning off the headset in registry.

HKLM\System\State\Hardware

Set "Headset" to 0.

(P.S. Any reboot of your phone might reset this. If you would like me to make a script to automate it, PM me.)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hennymugge:
Same problem here...

When I do what you suggested, the "headphones connected" status keeps showing and the speakers still dont work...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
Guess you're out of luck then. Have to send it back in for repairs.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperian:
Had the same problem. Only a repair will help...

When I got it back from the repair center I noticed that the headphone jack is now totally different.

- The heavy resistance is gone, the headphones just go in like butter now.

- There is a little click at the end.

I hope it won't break this time.

Mientras hacia el hard reset, conecte y desconecte el hed set unas 15 veces, luego cuando estaba en el la pantalla de today fue la ultima ves que lo desconecte.

aprete la tecla send, y hice una llamada, y Funciono. ya no necesitaba el head set,

It happened to me, simply insert a clean "cotton buds" and pull it out again. I think, a dirt just got stuck causing some hardware short circuit or something. Don't know....but it definitely worked for me. I have tried those hardresets, softresets, tweaks and unfortunately none of them worked.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pankajkeyal:
waiting for the reply from SE

I am having the same head phone stuck problem, I took the phone to the service centre and these guys are saying that it has happened because of some moisture in the phone as some litmus paper inside is showing it. When i told them that other unctions are working fine, i was told that they will check it and let me kno in a week or so. The phone metal side body has also started chipping. Theseguys are just playing games. I think it was ne of the biggest mistake to fall for X1 panel gimmick. Lets see what reply i get from them regarding the fault, will post the same. Others please post if there is any info on this.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluefrog:
it's fatigue in the headphone socket. Happened on mine (and i bust it trying to fix it :( )

At the bottom end of the headphone socket there's a connection (in all the little brass strips that make up the socket) that gets "broken" when the headphones are plugged in. if you look down at the circuit board then it's the one at the bottom right corner of the socket housing. When you remove them it drops back down to make contact again. Mine wasn't returning to the contact position, then i broke it off, like an idiot.

So i've soldered across it and gone for a bluetooth adapter! (no good for watching video though it would appear - goes really jerky but there ya go - i need to find a headphone socket as a spare part!)

I don't think you can get around it with registry - it appears to be hardware triggered.

HTH!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corckie:
WD 40 helped quickly and easily, just smear a little on your headphones plug and put it the socket, move around and you are done. For me it helped just immidiately, after that I never had this stuck problem again :cool:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben_ratus:
I had the same issue before as well. I was listening to the radio with headphones plugged in. When I was done I turned off the radio and then unplugged the headphones.. it was still stuck in headset mode.

After soft reset and fiddling around.. nothing worked..

Eventually i went back to the radio panel and only plugged in headphones (i.e no antenna receiver thing). Somehow I was still able to receive a radio signal and could listen.. the quality wasn't quite as good. After my frustration I simply pulled out the headphones and the radio stopped automatically and headset mode was disabled....

not sure what happend, not sure if it will help.. but you might as well try it?:confused:

Stuck after using phone

It seems to happen to me consistently these days if I answer or make a call with the headphones plugged in. After hanging up, the phone becomes stuck in headset mode.

Discovered that it can be fixed by plugging the headphones back in and dial someone (like your own voicemail) and while on the call, pull the headphones back out again.

Hi guys,

My X1 just came out of warranty service for keyboard and after a few annoying problems, I'm now facing the headphone jack issue.

Mine occasionally flicks back and forth between headset on and off mode. I've tried prodding it a bit and it comes unstuck about 75% of the time but I would like a much better fix for this.

I used to have a similar problem with my 3 year old Atom, but I could always fix that by poking at the catch mechanism inside the jack. I can't quite seem to see the one on the Xperia though, but I think it's something towards the keyboard side of the device.

My Solution

I had this "headset connection" problem, and simply put the headphones that caused it back in the audio jack (don't tink it matters which 1's u use), then slowly unplugged and jus' twiddled around with them whilst in the audio jack. Then, as I was twiddling the "headset connection" icon then dissapeared, but the problem still persists when I reconnect the headphones. But now I know how to solved it, and I hope this helps others, cause sending it off for repair is the longest and worst option.

Hi!

Sorry for my poor english.

If the problem isn't solved after reset then just blow into jack with mouth or airspray or plug the stylus (stick) into jack and move it nice and easy :) and the headphone icon will wanish. It helps always. Best solutinon is the air spray because it blows out the metallic particles from jack and grants better MTBF.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
yes, that's weird. how should another OS solve a hw-failure?

either it was a sw-bug in your case or pure coincidence (the spring inside the headphone-jack went back by itself).
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dimas.94:
Had this too! Wanna know what I did? First of all you shut the phone down, remove the battery and take a toothpick or something thin, tie some paper or a really small piece of cloth around it, and clean the headset jack carefully. If you can use some air pressure on it to remove all the dust, it can help. Make sure it's clean and dry (sometimes I like using pure alcohol products in REALLY small amounts just to make sure it's as clean as it can be) and then insert the battery and turn the phone on. It worked for me, never had this problem in the past 2 months. I hope this will help somebody!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammerhead89:
I must say that my headphone jack is severely damaged and when I installed android (whatever the build), the sound works and there's no headphone profile problem. i was just wondering, if it's a hardware problem, how come android doesn't detect it?!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
okay, i'll try to explain...

if it's hw-related, in most cases it's caused by the little spring inside the jack not moving back when the headphones are removed. thus causing winmo to think headphones are still there.

simple schematic of the headphone-jack:

| |
| / <= headphones NOT in:
| |

| |
| | <= headphones in:
| |

see the difference?

the / is the important part, that's the spring or contact. it get's moved by the headphones-plug when they are in. if it get's stuck, sometimes playing and pressing with the plug releases it, cleaning might do the trick as well. in my case i have to disassemble half the phone until i can reach it and press it back in.

certainly you agree that you can't solve this with software in any way?

regarding android:

depends on kernel, older kernels have no support for headphones at all -> contact is ignored -> no surprise it's working in android. dunno for sure about latest kernels, i never tried it. ^^ (disassembling needed afterwards) but i know that headphones haven't been working on touch pro 2 until recently.

I have an idea, is it possible to get 2 diffrent setting for our PPC, this idea come from we can have 2 diffrent wallpaper by using 3rd party apps. 1 on potrait and other in landscape.

And i wonder can we do the same with applications?? not just wallpaper??may be we can have Manilla 3D on potrait and Manila 2D in landscape??for example.

I know it's sound pintless but if we can have apps that control this, maybe we can later having 2 diff OS in 1 PPC , maybe WM7 OS on Landscape and Iphone OS on portait.
