I really hope it is something simple, but thus far, everything I have tried has been unsuccessful. Just took a few screenies of varying stages of trying to register on the network. Couldn't get a screenie of the net connection symbol alongside the signal icon, but I can guarantee that I am surfing the net with the offending phone as a modem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mmmhhh86:
hey man sorry for the delay i was busy.. Yeah it was right after I unlocked it. I put in my sim card, no service just internet (HSDPA) and I could even send text messages. When people call me only the keypad would light up but i couldnt answer and i couldnt even open the input keypad to dial a number, not even the phone application. All I did was a hard reset. Try changing several radios.. If not maybe change your rom. Let me know what happens.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] steveianson:
What about changing the radio ROM
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wanny1:
No worries bro, tbh, any help or input is better than nothing.

I can access the phone application just fine which is more frustrating. I can send mms and use all the data services. Its just calls and texts over gsm that are the issue.

The thing that is rattling me, is that if I click on system status, the icon for the reception actually indicates that there is reception available. And i'm obviously connected the the network if I can use the data services. (Sorry if I keep repeating myself :o)

I've changed radio/rom several times, with quite a few hard resets in between. I'm about to download a few stock roms/radios, and may even return the phone to a fully stock state. The only thing with that is that I can't reset the sim lock (At least I don't think I can).

Tried several times mate. Going to try it a few more right now mate. Thanks for the input guys, appreciate it. :cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wanny1:
Anyone have any more thoughts on this? I don't have much hair left on my head. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mmmhhh86:
LOL its ok man.. I only hope you can get it fixed soon I know how annoying it is.. Did you try going back to stock?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wanny1:
Its going back to the original owner mate. Phoned htc and they were prepared to repair it, but I wasn't prepared to pursue that route as I shouldn't have been having an issue to begin with. Can't wait to get my g1 back.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sonnybravo:
Hey Wanny1,

I'm just curious, did you try to put other SIMs in your phone? Or does every SIM fail to connect (GSM-wise) and not just yours?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wanny1:
Hey man, I have tried a t-mobile uk sim which is known to be working. The phone registers on the t-mobile network, and I can use the data services, but again, I cannot call out, receive calls, or send text messages. Its a really strange scenario and i'm sure it must have been caused during the unlocking process. I just wish that there was something that could be done.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hoogy07:
I had problems after unlocking a T Mobile MDA IV and using an o2 sim. My phone was generally ok apart from texts. Was advised to use radio 1.00.25.5 and works a treat now. Also got a new sim card as alot of people were saying older sim cards had some issues on these phones. By the way what SPL r u on?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sonnybravo:
Wow, yeah this is a strange one... To tell you the truth, I had the exact opposite thing that you have right now: I could make calls and send text sms via GSM, but I could in no way connect to the internet. But after I installed HTC Connection Setup (was not installed on the lite rom I use) the problem was solved... But you already tried this right, so I'm just as puzzled as you are. I take it you're as bald-headed as an 8-ball right now huh? :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wanny1:
I've tried that radio with no success mate. Plus my sim card is pretty new. When I press vol down plus reset, the device lists that hard spl 1.24 is installed, however, I have just apparently installed the stock 1.93 spl so cant understand why its reporting back as 1.24??

It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Connection setup has been on all the roms i've tried and run upon each setup process. Another baffling thing, is that when I click on the signal icon with the exclamation mark, the additional info suggests that there is a signal available. Will upload some pictures now to explain.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wanny1:
Ok, after another attempt at the stock 1.93 spl update, this is a screenie. Does this look right? What is the 1.00DIAM that is being reported as the update? Shouldn't this say 1.93?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mugglesquop:
what about flashing a O2 ROM?

might have some advanced network settings or something...

i'm probably talking absolute rubbish, but worth a try ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mugglesquop:
no, doesnt matter what it says, ignore it ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wanny1:
I've just returned it to complete orange stock. I didn't realize there was an o2 uk rom floating around, although I didn't really look. I'm just going to send it back to the guy that I brought it from. Would rather have kept it, but without the gsm side of things, its pretty useless.
[Touch HD Accessories] dedafmonteur:
hmmmm, idk dude.

i can't really see the problem.

they got pics from it and you can see you need to open it.
[Touch HD Accessories] funk1980:
Dude! What good is a protective casing that doesn't protect the screen?? Off course there is a transparant shield of some kind to prevent scratching!

I'm sorry, but I'm with PDAir on this one...

Thats uncalled for and frankly a bit lame

*Edit*

Just checked the site. It states:

Thin, Lightweight and strong.

With transparent plastic protection.

Removable 360 degrees belt clip included.

Anodized aircraft-grade aluminum prevents from scratches.

Neoprene inner lining for extra protection and shock absorber.

Easy access to all buttons and features.

High tensil strength aluminum.

Cutouts give easy access to all handheld features.

Easy to install.
[Touch HD Accessories] mallman:
Wow isnt that a tad harsh for my desire to come here and protect you against something I feel is a bit less descriptive than it should be? Is this forum not for a community of folks to watch each others backsides and share useful information for the betterment of our wallets and devices? I was nice to them in my initial email and praised my proir purchases for them to turn around and disgard my concerns with a "lesson" on how to use the case I obviously know how to use now that I have it lol. The better response would have at least been to admit the fact the description could have been better. Shoot I even told them I didnt want a refund so I wasnt in it for the money either.

lol and I quote

please tell me how that is lame and better yet, not false advertising!!! (see bold items) "ALL" is a very very strong word.

Do you have a screen protector? If not i suppose I understand how you dont understand that the touch screen is functional with it on. please define what a screen protector is to you.... isnt it a transparant piece of plastic (which is all they describe this as)?? if you put a screen protector on the screen what happens?? You can still use the touch screen. How in the world would you know that you cant use the touch screen on this?

Just because they show you that the case opens is a ridiculous argument (no offense intended)

All cases open do they not? If they didnt how would you get the device in :) Im sorry but you need to be far more careful with your words when selling items like this. Perhaps you guys were not confused at all by the false advertising but I was. Does that make you smarter than me?? Perhaps :) Does it make their product description accurate?? Absolutely not. Would my argument hold up in a court of law, youbetcha :) thanks for listening
[Touch HD Accessories] dedafmonteur:
just look better next time? lol

i dont know dude but i saw it the first time, look at the lighting on the case, you see a screen.
[Touch HD Accessories] mallman:
no i agree, i totally get your point... I am just not as analytical as you guys are :) (the root word being anal hehe JK). But there are others like me in the world that just dont see things the same so as a business or supplier you should always assure your clients are clear. Hey I totaly accept I may be moronic (and my wife would agree) but part of me believes im not the only moron in the world lmao.
[Touch HD Accessories] catnono:
Thanks Mallman for letting me know. I am looking for a case, and at least I will avoid this item.

Sorry to know that your case is collecting dust in your drawer
[Touch HD Accessories] sydneysider:
Too late for you now, but PDair do have a video up on youtube showing the case in use and open.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hONCwfTJDVg

I'm cynical of most every product ( comes with old age ;p) and tend to look 'everywhere' for as much information before purchasing.
[Touch HD Accessories] shisux:
After watching that video, not only do I agree with mallman on the fact that people shouldn't have to zoom and analyze product pictures to decipher the real meaning behind the written product description, but the case is also of a really idiotic design.

They've got neat little holes cut out for the softkeys and the screen, and you can change the volume and pull out the stylus with the case closed, but (as far as I can see from the video) you can't use the stylus for anything without opening the case, nor can you actually PRESS the hardware keys from the hole in the bottom. Why not just cover them up, when the case is closed? I understand the hole for the screen, I can think of many situations where I only want to quickly see what's happening on the screen (although I'd apparently have to open the case then, too, to press the power key to turn the screen on again), but I can't think of a situation where I'd need to check up on the icons on the softkeys, seeing as for the whole time I've used the Blackstone, they have never ever changed.

I was actually considering ordering this case before I stumbled upon this thread, so thank you mallman and sydneysider, you guys just saved me $28.
[Touch HD Accessories] Kangburra:
Yes thank you. I too have seen this and assumed you could tap the screen through the cover, as you do a stick on screen cover.
[Touch HD Accessories] mallman:
in the spirit of fairness i must share PDair's following response to me. Keep in mind all I wanted is some sort of acknowledgment from them. they are back in my good graces :)

[Touch HD Accessories] funk1980:
Oh no you got me all wrong, I applaud you sharing your experiences in this case. It atleast gives people the notion to double check products and discriptions at internetshops. Just the part in your communicatoin to PDAir where you insinuate to be some influential forums guru. That won't get you anywhere and struck me as lame. I apologize if I offended you with my opninion.

Can I ask why you didn't just remove the plastic?
[Touch HD Accessories] tobi1984:
What for a purpuse has the cutout for the stylus if you can not use it when the case is closed ... just to get the stylus out before you open it ? :P
[Touch HD Accessories] leenk:
re

Hey mallman, thnx for the warnin'. I am lookin' at that case, since my phones are in for a rough time, and was wondering whatcha think about the quality of the beltclip and if that plastic screen could be punched out fairly easy.

Other: since the thing is about to spend a bit of time on my belt, I can't help, but wonder about the closing mechanism, that is keeping the lid closed. Looks pretty flimsy - not well protected from accidental openings.

Also, does it have any effect on the radio/phone/GPS reception-functions

Thanx!
[Touch HD Accessories] sydneysider:
I was thinking exactly the same, I can see that closing clip catching on something and either;

accidently being opened

ripping the lid off, or

ripping the phone off my trousers and falling on ground. :eek:

I have been looking for an alternative.

The ArmorCase by Boxwave also has a similar 'hard' protection over the screen. :mad:

http://www.boxwave.com/products/armorcase/armor-case-htc-touch-hd_3387.htm

I can see the advantage of having the hard protection, however I think the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

In my experience, a clip that has some sort of hook' end, like this

has less chance of accidently coming off your belt/trousers than a 'smooth' one like this
[Touch HD Accessories] Sscully:
I was going to purchase one of their cases but then I saw one come up for sale second hand never used on another forum i frequent as the guy changed his mind about it.

Awesome I thought and bought it. 3 days later it turns up and I see it has a screen in there, I was completely surprised by this as I wasn't aware of it when I bought it and I like you thought there was a cutout not a hard screen there. Contacted the seller and it turns out that was the reason he was selling it, he didn't expect the screen either.

So you're not the only one, I really do think it's an idiotic design, especially having the hinge on the right hand side, with the majority of the worlds population being right handed it would make much more sense to have the hinge on the other side, I'll admit I do have big hands but I can't use the phone in the case even when it's open properly, I have to take it completely out of the case.

I'm confident it would offer good protection which is why I bought it after dropping and having a less than 2 month old touch pro smash on me, but I can't live with the awkwardness of the design so the case lives in the bottom of my drawer.

One thing I suggest you try is just pop the screen out which is what I did within 2 minutes of getting mine, makes the case a lot more practical !

Be warned though without the thickness of the screen in there the phone is free to move back and forth a few mm inside the case unless maybe you put something behind it?
[Touch HD Accessories] kokkie:
Happy user of the PDair metal case. Protects my HD perfect. I like the "plastic screen protector". That and the allu material was one of the reasons that i bought the case. I dont have the problem of a "moving" HD in the case. There was a topic over the allu case so...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=469598
[Touch HD Accessories] mallman:
actually i believe you could toss your phone off a building with the aluminum case. If you are not worried about usability then this is the case for you. Screen is very sturdy as is the rest of the case and it is well padded as well. I say go for it if what you are seeing is ultimate protection. It actually closes pretty tightly and wont accidentally open. Also, your phone is very snug in there so it isnt going to move around either.

the belt clip... well its just a belt clip lol. nothing special there at all. Holds pretty tight though
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Gronon:
Hello,

I'm using my HTC diamond without the touchFlo GUI, and I have to do screenshots of Opera web pages (specific errors are displayed) However I not able to do that because screenshots softwares like Magic SS or others needs to be assign to an hadware button in order to capture pages.

Even if, when I map the program to the only choice "button1 (Hold)" in the "buttons" menu, when I hold this button, either the voice dialer thread systematically launches else opera pages moves to the background and as theses softwares capture the active page, impossible to catch web pages :mad:

I have already tried to install Hbutton or some stuffs like this, impossible to do screenshots of opera web pages. Any ideas to solve my problem ? Why I cannot see the other buttons in "buttons" menu ? Is it possible to fix that ?

Thx for help !

Hi,

does anyone know if there are any active development done on the VLC Remote software?

I was thinking of taking the existing code and make some changes but I need to get in touch with the creator to make sure it is ok...

Two main things I was planning to do is:

* Change the browse screen to use Sense UI. I have to look into if you can get the mp3 tags needed to display Artists via VLC http interface.

* Add ability to have multiple VLCs defined, so that you can control different zones in your house.

Next step I would like is to make it possible to link different zones together so that one VLC is master and one or more VLC players just plays what the master streams... a little bit like Sonos system....

Anyone interested in any of these additions?

Cheers
