[General Questions and Answers] azrayen:
Hello everybody,

I have an issue with my HTC Diamond and my contact's birthday date!

On MS Outlook 2003 (french release), birthday is ok (ie : 20 Oct. 79).

On the Diamond, it appears to be shifted 1 day in the past (ie : 19 OCt. 79)

Both PC & PDA are on the same time fuse (GMT+1 Paris), the date is the same, and the time is also the same !

I'm lost and it's driving me crazy... I already saved my contacts on the PC, then delete all of them in Outlook, the sync, and delete the sync parameters in PDA & PC, and import them back, but still not working.

Does someone already had the same problem ?

Regards
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
Sync time is decided by outlook's time preferences, not by the default cpu clock.

try to change the calendar's time to meet your requirements.
[General Questions and Answers] azrayen:
I already checked, and outlook calendar time is matching with both PC and PDA's.

So it seems the problem is not there
[General Questions and Answers] jeen:
Might be a "daylight saving time" setting, not sure where to change it though...

edit; oops, thats only an hour difference, not a day, sorry :o
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
a workaround for this can be..

1. open outlook

2. go to tools/options/calendar options/time zone/change calendar time zone

3. change the time zone to fit the delay

this should change all your appointments..

but maybe you should go thru all calendar options over there to see you didn't miss anything

When you say not to let the customizations run after a hard reset. How to I stop them? Do I just turn of the phone of something to that effect?

P.s. I wanna unlock the GPS on my XV6900 following these steps

http://wiki.ppchaven.com/index.php?title=Pocket_PC_WIki:FIX_VERIZON_GPS
[Touch CDMA General] Detroit_Doug:
Yes, just take the tip of your stylus and push it into the hole next to the MiniUSB at the bottom of the phone - that will soft reset your phone (as opposed to a hard reset which will reload the ROM on your phone erasing all data)

Detroit Doug
[Touch CDMA General] jaytavarez91:
But wouldnt the customizations just start up again when it reboots
[Touch CDMA General] Detroit_Doug:
NO.. they dont, at least never have for me and for others as well

does anybody know what versions will work on the treo 800w and if so can you post the cabs or give me a link ? :confused:
[P3400 General] gaurav_v:
:( dear friend when i hard reset my gene it works good for few days but then it gets very slow while operating it if we install many software on phone then same problem happens or may faults such as beam can not start bluetooth by its own we have to manually start it from menu and many disgusting things happen. I use original rom and wolud not like to use any other romes and i use only 1 or 2 gb memory cards with it...........plzzz help soon dear members thanks in advance ............^_^:(
[P3400 General] Addicted2xda:
There is no problem in installing softwares, but keep atleast 10 - 12 MB free storage space for camera & bt to work smoothly. Try installing software in storage card.

Using 4 GB card with my gene, no issues
[P3400 General] ramersonw:
The custom roms are usually faster than the original. If you upgrade to any of them the speed of your gene will improve alot.
[P3400 General] Carty:
You're probably installing in wrong locations. Read this guide.

Carty..

hi guys, i installed the arabic support for the diamond, but when i restart the device it blocks at the windows mobile 6.1 screen(the green screen), i cant connect it to the activeSync to reinstall a rom or to do a hard reset

please help me in this
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] carburano:
to do an hard reset you don't need Active sync...

simply press red reset button and within 3 seconds push volumedown button and action button of pad...

don't worry my friend your diamond is not bricked
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bassia:
thanks brother carburano for help, but i'm a little noobie, where is the action button and the red button?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] carburano:
action button is the central button in the center of the diamond... nothing easiest... for red little button, extract the stylus and see...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bassia:
i sess the little red button, but how to press it, it's so small, or you mean press it from the outside; the Hang up button? and when i do these , when the diamond startup or when it's shutted down, can you explain please and thanks again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] carburano:
press red button with stylus...

my friend... see here
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bassia:
thank you so much i did a hard reset and the diamond turned on again :D

i appreciate your help bro
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] carburano:
I'm happy for you... enjoy your diamond!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] morbon:
This is the funniest conversation on this forum! :) :) :) But I am glad the guy's phone works. And that is the most important thing.
[Touch HD General] mrnutts:
I cant seem to get my GPS working all the time. I've got some Freecaddie software but the GPS seems to work when it wants. What do I need to do to get it to work everytime I use the software?????
[Touch HD General] eaglesteve:
It should work out of the box, and works very well.

For the first fix though, stand under open sky for a while.
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
Are you using the GPS indoor? Getting a fix indoor is quite difficult and not possible in most cases until you are not standing next to a window.
[Touch HD General] ArchonX:
i have a similar problem, i´m using igo on my hd and it worked very good in the beginning, but since a while when i start it, it gets a normal gps fix but then the gps connection only lasts a few seconds (5-6) and then looses connection for about 30 secs and when it finally finds it again it lasts again only 5-6secs...

can anyone help me? it´s very annoiying when i´m in a foreign town where i don´t have a good orientation and my navi system won´t help me at all
[Touch HD General] Cheesy Dave:
Hmmmmm - this should work "out of the box" whenever you use a GPS application.

Try this free app: Chartcross GPS Test 1.04 http://www.chartcross.co.uk

It will scan for a GPS device if you have one (as HD does).
[Touch HD General] ArchonX:
that´s not my problem, igo finds my gps receiver...
[Touch HD General] Twisel:
GPS signal dissapears for 30 seconds then re-appears.

This is resolved by a soft reset, although in one case (When I actually was lost) it took 6 consecutive soft resets to finally start working whereas normally it only takes one or two...

I would be very interested to hear if anyone has a resolution to this issue?? or any idea's what may cause it not to work properly before one or two soft resets??
[Touch HD General] mikewd:
mine kept stopping for 30 seconds while I was driving, soft reset is a bit of a pain.. does QuickGPS help ?
[Touch HD General] montag09:
Definitely, having QuickGPS updated won't hurt. Some people says it doesn't help much, but it should. It downloads updated data from satellites so that the internal GPS does not need to wait for that info. Anyway, GPS worked for me out of the box, without QuickGPS; it does the work very well and is quick fixing the position. Try GPS Test, as said above.
[Touch HD General] Twisel:
I have Duffy's 1.7 ROM (and admittidly this issue has only started since I loaded this ROM, Quick GPS is on, but shouldn't affect anything ONCE the satalites are locked... what happens is the satalites pick up for 30 seconds then off for 30 seconds then on then off ad infinitum. I use Tom Tom 7 and CheckPOInt, other than that fairly standard apps... core player etc. At the mo I'm just in the habit of soft reseting before starting GPS, from a soft reset button in touchflo programs its not so bad. Anyone else experiencing this exact thing of 30 on and 30 off??
[Touch HD General] sandymac:
The problem of losing GPS regularly happens if you have assisted GPS active. Uncheck this and all will work fine. :)
[Touch HD General] Cret:
Does it still lock on fairly quick without Agps? I must admit I have not tried yet.

I have a problem where I've tried TomTom7 and in the GPS status screen it shows up to 7 or 8 satellites really quickly (maybe 10 seconds) then they all disappear a few seconds later, and it says something like "Are you sure you aren't inside a building?" (yes, I just didn't notice obviously!), then a few seconds later they all appear again & then off & on etc.

It's annoying but when they are showing they give a relevant position and speed.

Is this the same problem? No-one knows what is causing it I assume?
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
Crett, ( and a bunch of you above) sounds like you have AGPS enabled. AGPS (assisted GPS) must be disabled or it will do exactly what you are describing.
[Touch HD General] Cret:
Cheers, and yes, I have got Agps activated. But it doesn't explain why it happens though.

Does the gps still work well without the download assistance?
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
It works flawlessly without AGPS and from what I remember (not 100% on this) , the AGPS is a bug through all HDs (drivers prolly) might even be throughout other htc phones
[Touch HD General] viczena:
as i understood it, if your cellphone provider does not submit a proper agps signal, the htc always resets the gps with the faulty data. so switch of agps.
[Touch HD General] simonastro:
how do I disable agps??

cheers
[Touch HD General] Cret:
Start, Settings, System, AGPS Settings, Disable.

And yes, it's working fine with it disabled. :)

Thanks
[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
hmm haven't heard that but good to know. Now is the problem that htc coded it wrong (waiting for a wrong signal that doesn't come?)? That would be my take on it, since i haven't heard of anyone having the agps working (otherwise I'd think it would be the cell companies fault).
[Touch HD General] marmin:
not sure if this helps, but i was just pratting around with settings in tomtom as mine was loosing signal every 30secondstoo. changed to max baud rate on com 4 and its now working sweet as
[Touch HD General] simonastro:
oddly I don't have AGPS settings on the system menu!
[Touch HD General] johnpatcher:
In order to disable AGPS you need to deal with HDTweak (or Andvanced Config).
[Touch HD General] simonastro:
thank you all - have disabled it in HDtweak

will test on my next outing

cheers
[Touch HD General] montag09:
Hey, I've just installed HD Tweak and A-GPS is disabled by default. How did you manage to get AGPS enabled without HDTweak?
[Touch HD General] simonastro:
I must admit it my own fault - HDtweak installed by default as using davideuck 4.5 rom and I enabled without noticing! doh!
[Touch HD General] psyfreak:
i have no problem with connecting the satellites...(i have checked with regedit and agps is disabled by default)

using garmin mobile, but the location isn't precise not enough

any solutions to that

tnx in advance
[Touch HD General] iamdata:
does changing com baud rate make ur location refresh faster or improve tomtom in anyway. and also how would u adjust it?
[Touch HD General] Twisel:
Disabled AGPS - now TT works

Just to confirm disabled AGPS with HD Tweak... now TT works both times I have tested it from always not working without a reset.
[Touch HD General] Psyberd:
I found starting "HTC GPS Tool" seems to help me get a lock much more quickly and keeps the lock if i change GPS apps
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xevier69:
Hey guys,

I have no idea what's going on. I appreciate your suggestions. I flashed my Diamond many times (and other phones as well) with most of the ROM available. Unit a month ago or so I've been using the official 1.93 ROM with previously installed hard SPL 1.40. When I attempted to install a new 2.03 ROM I went through the whole procedure same way as always with a little exception. Right after completion - 100% the unit reboots, shows the rainbow screen with a message "Upgrade ROM code error" - try again. What is the world is this? I also have a message on my desktop "Error 270-update error" - The image file is corrupted. My unit is european and I downloaded the ROM from both US and Euro sites. From this point I managed to downgrade again to version 1.93. Then I ran again the hard SPL 1.40 and reattempted to upgrade to 2.03 - SAME THING!

I don't know what to do next. Why I cannot flush it with the latest ROM? Any ideas or similar situations? Please see picture.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] my_xda_username:
Same Thing happened to me :S wtf??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cobbs:
Hi have you tried to flash from the internal storage?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] carburano:
Have you tried flashing with internal storage method?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Radeon123:
Exactly the same problem here, so I tried to flash to a really old original HTC ROM after the failure and it flashed fine :eek:

So I thought I would try upgrading over the top of an original ROM, had the same error :confused:, bloody HTC :mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xevier69:
So, any ideas how to resolve this issue? Are we stuck with the old ROM? I'm glad that I'm not the only one experiencing the same problem.

No, I have never tried to flash from internal storage. How can this be done? do I copy the whole .exe file to storage and run from there? Any pre-cautions?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Radeon123:
Though I bricked my phone when it happened, never seen that error before despite many ROM flashes :eek:

I have now tried tommytaos ROM which is supposed to be very close to the original but some with some tweaks.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=479049

It installed just fine on my phone. Seems HTC have broken their ROM :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] cobbs:
if you have the official rom which is a exe file you can extract the rom file using winrar.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] xevier69:
EUREKA!!! Done Deal!!!

Flashed from Internal Storage as per following directions:

-= COOKING ROMs & Radios from phone =-

1. open from your PC the rar or zip archive and extract only the BIG .nbh file

2. rename as DIAMIMG.NBH

3. copy the renamed file into the root dir of your "Storage Card" or "Internal Storage" (the one of 4Gb... NOT to the internal phone memory!)

4. reset your device and within 3 seconds push together the Vol_Down + Back button (the one on the right above the hangup button) and keep pressed until the boot loader appears (the one with the color stripes)

5. soon as you see the bootloader stop to press those poor buttons

6. a very simple gray menu will appear asking you what to do, simple press the power button to perform the ROM/Radio upgrade

7. while the upgrade runs be patient and don't press again the power button, reset the device or play with it until it finishes, when finished a message "UPDATE SUCCESS" will appear, now you can safely reset your device

8. who prefer can perform a hard reset after the fresh cook (soon after reset simply press Vol_Down + Circle button, then when you see another simple gray menu choose Vol_Up to confirm format), even if this has no-sense because internal memory is pre-formatted during flash, but... there is always a but... for some unknown "scientific" reason sometimes an hard-reset can save time & headache

THANKS! THANKS! THANKS!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Flashing using the Internal Method is the safest and most convenient way to flash. Spread the word.......:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] akash_84:
xevier69, Thanks for your thread

Having just purchased Oli's security unlocker... I was annoyed about this problem with a HTC official rom!

But your method has solved this issue!

Thanks again

Thanks guys it works perfect!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Mastermnd:
This just happened to me too and the only roms i have ever flashed:

1.37 official spanish: came with the phone

1.37 official WWE

1.93 official WWE

and now 2.03 official WWE fails.

WTF... One would expect the upgrade not to fail, right?

I wonder if they are checking for HardSPL to be original too!? :confused:

Anyway thanks for the workaround
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] sutt359:
This worked for me to

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] g0x:
Thers some other option

Install twice from activesync 1st time = error, run for the second time the same version and OK it updates.

At least with my Diamond had worked

Cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] miriamscorob:
Hi!

The same thing happend to me too... I think it's because of the serial number we have entered when we have downloaded that 100 MB ROM Update file from the HTC support site... well i think it doesn't match with the serial and IMEI of the phone that the upgraded rom checks at the end of the update process... so i think it's kind of a protection against piracy developed by htc... taiwanese idiots!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] miriamscorob:
Hi!

pls anyone send any information about an rom update file that works and doesn't report errors after it installed 100%. pls specify it's rom version too! 2.03 would be great ;)

I am glad to see this is helping others. Nice post Xevier (so many people never follow up on their threads).

The only issue I have (I have many issues :o ) is that this has nothing to do with "cooking".
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tiwas2:
I tried hard resetting my device, but only get back into bootloader and the "upgrade rom code error" text :S

Any more helpful hints on how to get the phone working again? Can't upgrade the RUU or anything, and certainly cannot get to the storage card to put anything on it...:eek:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] wrsg:
just want to mention i was having the error 270 update error problem using the official htc rom, but solved it using the internal flash method listed above.

basically you must have hardspl 1.93, and then copy the ruu_signed.nbh file to the root of the internal storage, then rename it to diamimg.nbh. then hold down the volume down button and the back button, then power off, and on. then it should start the flash (after you confirm).

If you flashed rom that is "RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_2.03.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23",you must flash it from the internal storage!

same problem. easy solved...

i have the same problem in my diamond.

when i decide to return my diamond to a stock rom this problem happens... all i have done to solve is flash a stock SPL to my unit...

HTC installer try to flash SPL, RADIO and ROM in the same time... but de stock installer dont´t flash stock SPL correctly...

After the HTC installer i have used a modified version to flash a stock SPL and it have solved my problem.

i don´t know if reflashing a modified SPL works.

sorry about my bad english... i´m in the practice level of my English Book... :)

2.03.401.03 working thru activesync

Hi all,

Flashing thru' activesync worked for me...

I got HTC diamond orange from UK...got it Sim Unlocked to get it worked on other GSM network. But my SPL 1.37 did not allow me to flash or upgrade to 1.93 official rom.

I did Hard SPL 1.40 olinex, the could upgrade to 1.93 , and eventually to 2.03 official.

All flashing thru' activesync believe me.

now, im not using official roms anymore, using cooked one. but cooked thru' internal flashin to b on safer side.

i had downloaded RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_2.03.401.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship.exe

which is the latest. always check last digit. it is .3 which released later after .1 and .2

I would recommend internal flashing though.

thanks:):):)
