[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cornwall:
Hi !

I bot love and hate it equally... After six happy months, new ROMs etc... I am forced to send it back, since from the start, when I stay in H or 3G (I am 30 meters away from a big antenna), I don't get any call... One bar of H or 3G in my home... The phone displays bars, one or two, but is totally disconnected from network, and I miss ALL my phonecalls. Sometimes, two days after, I get messages notifications: twenty voicemails, 50 SMS... all sent two days ago but not received by the phone...

If you have any suggestion... I have tried everything, but I'm forced to leave it on "G" only (GSM/GPRS) which is a serious drawback as I'm always using it to surf the web, mail, TV on phone etc... with my all inclusive plan (French network SFR).

When I go to downtown (one km from my home, so I am downtown!) I have none of the issues stated above.

This phone is probably the worst receiver in the history of mobile phones... All y previous phones gave me five constant bars of H or 3G, this one only one or less... All my friends with cheaper devices have five bars in my place...

I really love my Diamond. Being my first WinMo phone I have to say sites like this here really help improve the phone. Coming from the iPhone I miss the multi-touch and easy surfing on Safari (but I found that Iris is an awesome browser.)

I love the size of my phone, that is what I did not like about the iPhone (too big for me)

In case you are wondering I have had it since it first launched in Canada (Dec 4, 2008)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Hojlind:
i wont say that i regret buying my diamond but i am for sure going to buy the new touch pro2 as soon as it comes to denmark. the diamond is good but it aint the best... ive always have a lot of problem with the speed of the diamiond jsut like everyone else but after getting rid of tf3d it has improved a bit. but all in all im not disappointed with the phone.

Cornwall are you sure its because of the device? i dont know anyone who ever had that problem. it might not be the phone but the provider of the net. if that isnt the problem i sure would go to the place i bought the phone and demand to get a new one cause it might be that single phone that is screwed up.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Lord_BlackAdder:
I like the Diamond especially for its size. I have a clip-on pouch that is designed especially for Diamond. I don't like the ROM that came with my operator Telstra but I have since then upgraded to CT6.4 HD Lite ROM. It is fast, lite and stable and good battery. I also like the onscreen keyboard where I can hold the key and it types numbers instead of letters. Very handy.

One feature I wish it had was the TV-OUT capability, like that in Touch Pro.

Anyway, for the keyboardless phone, Diamond is the best for me so far. For phone with keyboard, I think Touch Pro 2 is the one to beat.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kdskamal:
My Diamond is now 8 months old and the more I use it, the more I love it. But, I surely have plans to upgrade to TOUCH HD. Reason? I want a bigger screen to actually use those pixels. Cramming VGA display into a 2.8" does not bring any huge practical advantage as only Opera Mobile uses those pixels effectively.

Touch Diamond-2 has bigger screen, but it is 3.2" and crams WVGA resolution. Scene won't change much for me. I do not want a hardware keyboard and that rules out TP-2
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] spikeuk76:
I've just bought a Nokia E51 to replace my Diamond. The Diamond was my second HTC phone, the Touch was my first. I thought that the diamond would be a massive step up and for the first six months it was. The screen is much better, the touch sensitivity was better and it was loads quicker. However, once the honeymoon period is over the overall usability of the phone starts to show and for me it wasn't good.

The main negative is the battery life. You have to consciously manage the Diamond to make the battery last. Why cant I just put it in my pocket and have one less worry on life! After normal usage I could unplug the Diamond from the wall charger at 07:30 and by 18:00 it was showing critical battery level warnings. By comparison, with the same usage I unplugged my Nokia E51 over 24 hours ago and the battery is still almost full. One less worry!

Travelling abroad quite a lot I use Skype often, with the diamond I had to ensure I carried my handsfree kit with me so I could make a private call and not through the speaker phone. On top of that I had to keep pressing a button on the phone to stop it going into standby so the wifi doesn't go to sleep - A pain in the ass at best. With the E51 I can access the same wifi hotspot, load up fring and instantly use skype (or MSN) to phone home with the luxury of holding the handset to my ear - what a novelty! also knowing that the battery can cope.

Another big thing was the bluetooth integration to my car stereo. I have a Kenwood stereo and granted I could get into my car and turn the stereo on and that was it, I was connected to the handsfree. However it took 3 minutes or so do download the address book and when I finished a call it would disconnect forcing me to turn off the stereo and turn it back on again to initiate a handshake. The E51 establishes automatically, downloads the phone book in about 15 seconds and never disconnects, pretty much everything you would expect (oh, also it connects the audio automatically so I can play music from the phone through the car with no further faffing about)!

I've come to realise that the Diamond and Windows Mobile is a complete pain in the ass taking up far to much of my time to do things that should just happen. I cant believe how good the nokia E51 is in comparison. It does everything better according to my usual usage of a mobile phone.

It's going to be a few years before I go back to windows mobile, probably after WM 7 has been well established. Untill then I've got my Diamond in a draw as my spare phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Riker88:
I have owned my Diamond since June 2008.

The greatest thing about it is it's small size. I like my phones small, and would never consider a phone with a 3.5 inch screen.

I leave the Diamond in 2G mode, and only switch to 3G when I want to use data. My battery life easily lasts more than one day - usually 2 days, although I tend to recharge it every day anyway, so that I don't have to worry about the battery life.

I still use the stock ROM. Best thing you can do, is disable TouchFlo 3D and install the finger friendly SPB Mobile Shell. It is just so much faster, and above all, so much more practical to use, than TouchFlo 3D. I have introduced 3 colleagues with Diamonds to Mobile Shell, and each have promptly switched to Mobile Shell and haven't looked back.

No regrets about getting the Diamond. It was (and still is) really special when it first came out. Now however, I would recommend waiting for the Diamond 2 rather than the Diamond. The microSD card slot will come in handy. It is slightly larger than the Diamond, but not too big, with a bigger screen.

guyz.. i m new to touch hd and not sure as in how u install all stuffs on to the mobile coz with the other mobiles u get a cd but with touch hd i dint get any cd's.. kindly help me...
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Simply turn the phone on. Most settings with install automatically.

Read the wiki pages and hopefully these will guide you further

You will need to sync your phone to your pc using activesync and your usb cable which comes with the phone.

Most applications/software will come in either .exe or.cab format. All .exe files are installed from youir pc while phone is sync'd. Just follow the on screen instructions once you open the file.

.cab files are installed directly from your phone. Once your phone is sync'd to your computer via usb cable transfer .cab file to your phone using file explorer then open file on your phone using phone file explorer

Hope this helps

Hi All,

Just a quick question, how can I restore my phone back to original factory settings? (i.e, no photos, movies etc, original theme).

I have to take my X1 back to the store (and get another one).

Cheers!
[XPERIA X1 General] ratchetnclank:
Turn off the device.

Then hold both left and right silver buttons and press the power button :)

(Sorry - this was previously in the wrong thread category)

Hi,

after installing some software apps (numerous freeware utilities), my diamond does not ring anymore when I am called (it does vibrate).

I have checked everything but cant switch the darn ringing on again - other sonds work fine, it just doesn't ring. This is the second time this has happend - after the first time the hard-reset fixed the problem, but then I reinstalled several programs again and the same problem is back again.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do about this without doing a hard reset?

Perhaps there is a Tweak utility where I can see if the ringing has been switched off?

Please help.

Thanks in advance - I would really appreciate any suggestions.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] adempozhari:
didi you installed pointUI and the SystemInternalsV2????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] soranto:
you might not like the answer, but hard reset has fixed that problem for me with the diamond and 2 other htc phones i had in the past.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Berx1:
What is pointUI ? - I have the standard diamond branded user interface from O2 with all the system internals and the ROM version 1.93.207.2 German.

Please help me - I really do not want to do a hard reset because the last time I could not retrieve my back up with the Sprite backup utility :mad:.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mgs333:
i can't believe i'm now posting in this. i remember telling you to post this on the main diamond forum and now i'm having the same problem.

i've tried putting the ringtones in the internal storage, and on the phone's main memory, sometimes i hear the ring for a split second before it goes silent.

from searching, it seemed like some people have had this issue with some SRS WOW program but I don't have that.

have you been able to resolve this? I too would like to avoid a hard reset if at all possible, i just got the phone setup the way i want it and it would take a ton of time to get it back....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Twabi2:
This may sound stupid, but give it a try, it has helped before...

Go to the settings tab in TF3D.

Tap Sound

Set Volume at 100%

Sometimes, the ring volume gets reset to 0 by itself, and it took me 4 weeks before I found it, after trying about everything, from uninstalling every app to hacking the registry.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mgs333:
that's usually one of the first places i check... :) i'll keep it in mind though.

i think i might have an idea what my issue might be, so it was working this morning but i noticed microsoft's voice command was announcing the name of the caller as it was ringing. so i think it might be an issue with the msvc. i'm going to try disabling the voice announce and see what that does...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Berx1:
Problem Solved!

Hi,

guess what - I finally found the solution :)

I never bothered to read the Diamond manual as I believed the user friendly interface to be self-explanitory - however, I overlooked something very important!

When setting the volume up or down by means of the buttons on the left hand side of the Diamond, the usual vertical bargraph type of display appears and reacts according to how the adjutment is made with the volume up or down buttons, this is clear. There is also the possibility to mute the phone or to put it into vibration-only mode.

Now, at the top left hand side, there is an arrow (looks like this: <). If you quickly tap on that with the stylus before the screen goes away again, you will get a new screen for another setting - now this setting is for adjusting the ringing volume / mute / vibration settings (now the arrow is on the top right and looks like this: >

It is so simply expained: The system volume is not the same as the telephone ringing volume and just requires the quick click on the top left hand side of the screen and voila, bob is your uncle! You can then set the ringing volume up and your phone will ring again.

I wantend to know why the heck the ringing volume just changes or what caused the problem and I have also been able to determine why the ringing volume settings change - to explain:

When setting the SYSTEM VOLUME to mute - then the PHONE RINGING VOLUME is also muted! However, when then setting the system volume up again, the ringing volume still remains muted! This is important to know and it can also happen accidentally or it may be forgotten to reset the ringing volume. I dare to say that this was not really thought about very well and I hope the developers will change this or show a VOLUME STATUS for both the SYSTEM and RINGING volumes somewhere on the desktop/today screen.

... or would that not be a good project for a developer here on this forum perhaps?:) I would appreciate a comment here...

Thanks anyway for the kind responses and willingness for your help.

I have to date still not read the actual over 260 page little manual booklet, but it probably is described in there. Moral of the story: RYFM (for those who know what that stands for)

Amendment: Found it described on page 42 in the manual booklet - it's actually described there but can be easily overlooked and it is not described that the system volume settings affect the ringing volume settings.

Ok, so the phone rings now but I have a similar problem with my GPS receiver

:confused:

I will open another thread for this - hopefully someone can help me.

Best regards,

Mike - Germany.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] triakom:
I had the same problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Mucuna:
It happened to me.

All the system sounds were fine, but the ring wasn't there.

Checked settings, change ringtone, tried a lot of stuff.

I was begginning to think about a hard reset when I found my problem origin:

At least in the ROM that I use (Shaks), when you press one of the volume keys in the side of the phone, you change system and ring volume.

If I press it all down, it goes to zero then vibrate then silent, and normally the system and ringer volumes are equal when you do this.

In that system volume screen that appears when you press volume key, there is a arrow in the top left. If you press it, you'll go "ringer volume" screen. I noticed that system volume was in maximum but the ringer volume didn't fallow it.

That said, if your ROM uses the volume keys in that same way, press that arrow and check if the ringer volume is on too.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Deleted member 979999:
Hello,

First, I want to say I'm sorry for my English, because I'm French :)

I bought a HTC Touch Dual in France from the operator SFR.

SFR has a special ROM (with most of the HTC original theme, such as calculator, ... removed, using the WM original skin). Searching this forum I found most of the features themes, but I still haven't found the HTC Touch pinpad theme (the one that looks like the HTC Touch Dual phone dialer)

So my question is : where can I find the original HTC Touch Dual skin for the screen asking the PIN code?

Thank you.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Tim4:
You can extract it from original rom.

btw my original rom doesn't have improved skins for calculator or pin-code screen
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sk806:
Hi All,

Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I have searched a great deal, but no luck...Apologies too if I am missing something obvious, but I never said I was all that bright :)

I am almost finished with my update to the "translucent" themes (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=459885&highlight=translucent) for the new Manila 3 ROMS. All I have left to skin is the big green "talk" button on the dialer screen. I have spent more time than I care to admit looking through all of the Manila files and PNGS/BMPS/GIFS on my device, but cannot find this image file either among the usual suspects for Dialer assets or more unfamiliar files. Has anyone had any success here?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Last night I flashed my MDA Compact II with a ROM in this forum. The ROM update seemed to go okay, but now the Charmer won't boot. All I get is the splash screen, which says:

IPL 3.08

SPL 3.08.0000

OS 4.0.0.0

I get no charge indicator light when the phone is plugged in (power or USB). Does anyone know how I can fix this or why this is happening?

Hi

I have the same problem too. I just flash back the original t-mobile flash and it's ok again. But whenever i try to flash it again it hangs on the boot screen again. So if you want it to work just use an original T-mobile flash and it will be ok again

So, it looks like there's already a SDXC card. It's 32GB and read/write speed can hit 50MB/s. Not too shabby. Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody knows about any work being done on a driver for this; either by HTC or a third party.
[General Accessories] ajbopp:
I'm sure there is work being done, but not for any devices currently in existence. SDXC is not compatible with SD/SDHC devices.

Current expectations are for SDXC devices to begin hitting the market around the first of the year, according to CNET.

Which, of course, is a vast conspiracy aimed directly at me, since I was planning to get a Touch Pro 2 just about that time of year, and within 6 months HTC will come out with an SDXC-capable device. :)
[General Accessories] -PiLoT-:
doies this mean the 32 gb sdhc has been cancelled

i heard the 32 gb sd would be a hc not a xc
[General Accessories] nir36:
Moved to Accessories
[General Accessories] sonus:
FYI, 32GB SDHC cards are already in existance, however, I am guessing that you mean 32GB microSDHC cards. In that case...

If you recall, 4GB preSDHC cards never got made by major manufacturers when the SDHC spec came out (even though 4GB was the theoretical preSDHC max). However, small manufacturers did make the 4GB cards and they were easily obtainable on eBay. I infact have a 4GB miniSD from back them.

I would guess that even if the major manufacturers do the same, that is skip over 32GBmicroSDHC cards, the gap will be filled by smaller manufactuers looking to make a buck.
[General Accessories] -PiLoT-:
no ui was just wondering

id heard report on a 32 and 128 gb micro sdhc cards

i was wondering if the sdxc was taking over this
[General Accessories] ajbopp:
32GB has always been proclaimed as the theoretical limit to SDHC, as I understand it - in the sense that it might be possible to create that much storage on one, but no had done it yet, so it's not proven. However, more than 32GB is not possible with the SDHC standard, so if you heard reports of 128, it was likely referring to SDXC.

I image that once SDXC hits the market, SDHC probably won't have much more than 4 or 5 years of practical life left in it as device makers migrate exclusively to the more advanced technology - rather like you don't see many floppy drives anymore.

Is there any way of being able to Stream online videos on the Touch Diamond Opera Browswer...For instance, the latest goals that are shows on 101greatgoals.com or videos that are on bbc.co.uk/sport.

Thanks in advance,

Use Skyfire

I suggest using Skyfire...brillient browser that allows you to watch video content from most sites...only site I've had problems viewing videos is ''megavideo'' as it has those stupid pop up ads...

Go to www.skyfire.com to pick up the app....

You will not be able to view videos on the Opera browser 99% of the time.

Cheers
