HTC repair service is bad

Hello dotcompt,

i hope you are better off then me with getting your Diamond repaired. Mine went for repair a few weeks ago and since than it has turned into a nightmare.

First of all the 'pick-up guy' didn't show up, so I had to send it myself. When it came back, te WiFi was working again, but the GPS was dead. So had to wait for the pick-up again and wait for repair. Now my Diamond has returned working, but damaged during repair :mad:. A spot on my display and a big scratch on the 'home'-button.

Now I have to wait and see what they want to do about it.

regards,

RJC

HTC repair service is bad

Yes, I am afraid it is really bad. HTC makes wonderfull devices but their aftersale support is just horrible, at least in Portugal.

If your device was damaged during rapairs dont let them go away without repair ir again. Even if it was scratched during delivery or poor handly during the transportation, it is still their responsability.

Damm it, its been 3 weeks so far and not a single information or status repair. If I had blown the engine of my car it should probably be fixed by now. :mad:

With this kind of service no wonder if people think twice before buying a second HTC device.

Take care

I like the blue neon best :) I've also installed the bluetooth fix from the first link to make sure bluetooth is always set to discoverable.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bazwaldo:
Excellent. I was just about to go searching for how to add the Action menu :)

Dotcompt, brilliant ROM. I put on v4 last night along with the deep shining skin. Very nice.

Once I installed opera and copied the exe files, installed some of the tweaks and redone some of the shortcuts in Windows\Programs its very close to what I'm looking for.

Some things I'm missing are

1. The comm manager doesn't have the 3G toggle.

2. Having 4 programs wide in the program TAB in manila would be nicer than 3.

3. It would be nice if the manila TAB icons were colour like the larger icon that show up when you slide the across the TAB.

Overall its a very nice ROM. The best I've found so far. It has the right mix of apps and tweaks without having too much. Its also quite fast and battery usage seems good so far.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bazwaldo:
I don't know if this is anything to do with the ROM, but earlier my diamond hard reset by itself (losing all my tweaks, programs, setup) and the internal storage was wiped (loads of apps and photos gone). This has never happened to me before so is it just a coincidence? The internal storage is visible via the phone or USB and is empty. What a bummer!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] johnnyb27:
Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I have followed the steps as advised but am still unable to install the ROM as the Update Utility.exe file will not launch.

I have downloaded it several times, deleting each previous download each time. I have then unzipped the utility into a folder on its own and unzipped the .nbh file into the same folder before attempting launch. And I have also unzipped the .nbh file into the folder first and then the utility. Both with no success.

I have also attempted this with at least 4 seperate downloads of the ROM, and countless downloads of the utility and after installing the Signed HardSPL Olinex 1.40 file provided onto my Diamond succesfully.

Any further advice would be much appreciated.

CorePlayer

Hi,

I'm really sutisfied with you ROM, but one thing stopped working in this system (WM6.1 or TF3D - I had before). CorePlayer when started shows error message "File no found" --switchtopage and doesn't remember last file opened and progress ... worked ok on original t-mobile firmware.

Any advise???

P.S.: Found one bug - when I open appointment from home either form calendar - there's dimmed posibility 'reply' and menu ???

Many thanks for ROM and for your answer eventually...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bazwaldo:
I'm seeing this also. Very often when I hit the Home icon while running some app, and then the task icon on the top right, the app that was open is gone and the task list is empty. And if it is there I can't go to it. Anyone else see this and is there a fix?

LiteShining 8.2 WM6.5 23017 icons

I'm using LiteShining 8.2 WM6.5 23017 since a week now and it works GREAT!!!

Correct battery use, affordable! Good job dotcompt.

So far, the only thing i would like to enhance are the notification icons (the one on top of the initial page of tf3d).

Those ones are in LiteSh the "default ones", al little poor.

Is there any cab/patch to improve this? :)

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] RJC82:
Any news at your side? This ROM is not developing anymore and even on page 3. Hope you get your device back soon, so you can make some nice stuff again. With WM6.5 being released and so on.

I complained about the damages and now they're going to replace my device with a new one. I don't know if I should be happy with that, because it will take 3 weeks. A new device is nice, but this way is far from pleasant. I'll have to do without for so long again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bazwaldo:
Look at the "Optional Extra CABS" in the first post. I have the "DeepShining Manila Blue Highlights.cab" installed and it looks fantastic.

And I found some nice wallpaper and installed a cab so that the wallpaper was on each manilla tab page.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jorde73:
Only Deepshining, no other way...

Just I wanted to say thanks, because after 2 months, Deepshining Rom is the best, and stablest Rom here.

Last week I tried almost all of new Roms listed, but you know, when you upload a Rom, and after 5 minutes comes something silly problem, just you will try another Rom.

I gave a chance to the other Roms, but I installed again the Deepshining Rom, I hope comes out a new one, but till this time this is the Best Rom in the market.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mf-fll:
I've posted something about it before... it happened to me and the issue was the internal storage, which was corrupted. I guess that is why it would re-reset itself; but I am not sure... I've plugged the phone to the PC, connected as hardrive and formated the internal storage... after that, I flahsed the ROM again. Now works fine...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] btc002:
I had the same problem as you before......drove me nuts

use a registry editor to search for --switchtopage (I assume this is what your error msg said, mine was /remote)

For me the coreplayer shortcut was being added to the registry as "coreplayer.exe /remote", hence everytime it runs it tries to look for a file called /remote, hence the file not found. Simply remove the parameter and it'll run sweet.

hope this helps

Hi dotcompt,

been using the 8.2 LS since the release day now and most things work splendid! You've done a great job here!

Although, I have a few remarks to make:

- The Manila threaded SMS viewer still doesn't show the entire text message if the message is long. I've mentioned this issue before as well, regarding previous versions of the ROM. Any solution for this?

- Sometimes when writing a message in T9 mode, the SIP keyboard suddenly freezes - I can't keep typing! The temporary solution is to turn off T9, type one letter in ABC mode, then turn on T9 again. Then I can continue. But it's quite annoying as this happens several times during every text message!

- I also would very much prefer a sign counter in the text message writing view in Manila, showing e.g. "120 / 160" signs.

The battery usage has improved significantly in this version when phone is idle. But I have the impression that it uses more battery while using the phone. And RAM goes high quite rapidly - it usually lies around 85-90% also after running cleanRAM. Some percents more than earlier versions...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ARocKz:
testing alot of roms these days

yours is the most to mi liking and the most stable

hope your diamond comes soon from service and you cook some new roms

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dajbyco:
Urfortunately I have no such data in register. There's some problem with shortcut, but there's nothing added there either ... when I run player.exe directly, there's no problem ... but I can't find "--switchtopage" connected to coreplayer anywhere in the system ..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dajbyco:
Now I found the problem ... the problem was not coreplayer, but manila program launcher ... in register there were default settings for first 4 program launcher positions - which I changed of course ... so there were two things launched in one moment ... so I deleted it all and now it works (and some other small problems with other positions vanished too - like not working homepage in opera, not remembering last position in book in mobipocket ....)

Great - thanks!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] robinio:
Greetings to all.

Installed DeepShining 8.2 about month ago. Nice looking ROM but somehow unfunctional. Searched this thread few minutes but didn't find nobody with same problems so I have to ask again (and sorry if I missed something but 2000 post is just too much);

- looks like my Diamond isn't multitaksing any more. Every time I have program opened and go to Today screen or make a call, program stops and I cannot find it in Task Manager. I don't recall seeing any program in Task Manager since I have this ROM. Very annoying when you work somethig and then receive a call - program closes and work is lost.

- When I open program or document from Start folder od File Manager and I close it, Start folder or File Manager doesn't wait for me and I am again in Today screen. Also annoying. If I want to open Contacts and then Calendar for example, I open Start/Accessories/Calendar, close it, then I have to open Start/Accessories again. Accessories folder should wait 'there'?! Seems connected to first problem.

- many times I cannot delete calls from call history

- Manila Today - Calendar page - New appointment doesn't work. Very useful link though.

- hard to live on this new battery life. Made ALL adjustments from first post but... Still have problems with GPRS connection almost always on. Removed Facebook Today settings, removed email account, unchecked automatic Manila Weather updates but GPRS still (almost) always on. Didn't have this problems before.

- many times I try to start camera and 'memory low' error appears. In Task manager I can see I have 99% memory available and no programs running.

Thanks god I have another phone (old Nokia) for making calls and this one just for showing off, but I'll have to make some changes soon ;-)

Anyone with same problem(s) or with some ideas? Or new version on horizon?

Best regards,

RP

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bazwaldo:
I posted about this last week and had seen someone else with the same problem too. It is very annoying when you apps close down after switching tasks. I might switch ROMs if I see another that looks good, or if a new Deep Shining comes out. Its been a while since an update...

One bug that annoys me is the bookmarks integration with Manila and Opera. Selecting bookmarks through manila does not show the Opera bookmarks.

Goodbye guys

Hi,

I am afraid I have bad news for you guys.

As you must know by now my Diamond was in rapairs in the last 32 days. Since the repair center was not able to repair my device in the legal time (30 days), I have called the HTC partner that sold me the phone to demand a new phone or to be refunded with 589€ that was the cost of my Diamond a year ago.

They agreed with my demand so I decided to get the new HTC Touch Pro 2 for free because the current value in Portugal is 579€.

So I am moving now to the HTC touch Pro 2 ROM development forum.

I wish you guys all the best with your Diamond and I want to thank all of you that used my Roms and help me to create my roms even better.

If you get the HTC Touch Pro 2 you will find me in the ROM development section soon, for the Diamond users goodbye my friends I hate to go and let you down but I love my new HTC Touch Pro 2 FOR FREE. ;) :)

Take care
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tanshen:
Good luck to you Dotcompt. It's been a blast. If I managed to get a free Touch pro 2 I will see u again, lol. Bye for now.:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bazwaldo:
Dotcompt, can't really blame you for that decision. Nice one :)

Pity (for us diamond owners) though as your ROM is the first I've kept loaded for more than a couple of days. A gain for Touch Pro 2 users!

Hi guys,

Thanks for your kind remarks and before I move to the touch pro 2 section I will release my Deepshining kitchen soon to allow you to cook your own Roms with a lot of updated EXT packages and Gen.Y Manila "Revolution" R1.5 VGA thanks to yozgatg.

This was supose to be DeepShining 8.3 but since I dont have my Diamond anymore I decided to release the Kitchen.

I will try to upload this evening

Take care

What happened with your diamond ?

I want my money back too haha :D

I paid when i bought BRL $ 1900,00 = USD $ 1092,00 OR EUR $ 742,00

That´s because , in Brazil , all the "High-End" devices ( the diamond was one when i bought it ) are VEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERY EXPENSIVE.

With US$1092,00 i buy 2 TP2 haha :D

So , what happened ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ruimoura:
Ohhh, i've been using 8.2 for such a long time, it's the best WM 6.5 ROM *ever made*.

I think i'm keeping it on the diamond for a long time, now that there won't be a new one :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dotcompt:
Not sure what happened but I think they lost track of the phone between the pick up from my home until delivery at HTC repair center, so they were not able to repair it in 30 days (legal time) and in this case they have to refund you or let you choose a new phone with the same value you bought yours, in my case it was 589€ one year ago.

So for everyone in Portugal who have a device with warrant and need to be repaired remember if they are not able to fix it in 30 days you have the wright for a total refund or a new phone.

I just dont know if the same happens in other contries.

Cheers

Exactly how much ROMs did you try?

As I explained in my previous post I've been using it also for a quite a while but when such a basic thing like multitasking doesn't work and my application closes every time phone rings it is hard to keep on smiling. Shining screen just isn't enough these days.

But next ROM can only be better so best luck with Touch Pro 2 ROMs.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dajbyco:
Could you recomend some? I'm 99% sutisfied with this ROM - the TF3D2 configuration not working is absolutely minor problem to me - so if there's something very similar - maybe I'll try someday, but now I need to have a working phone ... which Shining ROM provides me good enough.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] robinio:
Why change if you are satisfied.

But in my case I couldn't for example add dialed number to existing contact, new appointment shortcut didn't work (and I use it a lot), not to mention again that I couldn't any have application in background. And this goes on...

Those are important things. Works this in your phone? If not, and you are still satisfied then I rest my case :)

Now I'm downloading X2H ROM and SunX (with Manila 2.5). Both looks nice but as I said, phone must be functional too.

We'll see.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] longice:
Dotcompt, my man!

I'm sorry to see you leave, but I wish you all the best with the new phone. Thnx so much for your great ROMs, you've been making the world a better place for me :)

Good luck, stay cool, see you around! B-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ruimoura:
I don't have that problem on my diamond. And i prefer this ROM to those with the start on the bottom, more recent, with tons of bugs and that ugly and stupid bottom bar.

Can you recommend a better ROM? :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] empds:
unbeliveble, first is it clear that you dont know much about WM, the multitasking is working on this Rom, you just need to know how to change the registry settings, if you dont know google it.

Second you advise a Manila 2.5 without even test it, well my friend as much as I like this Manila 2.5 let me say that it is still full of bugs.

Thanks dotcompt for the kitchen released. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dajbyco:
About month ago I tried about ten ROMs and some of them were WM6.5 - I tried SUNX either Windows Revolution and they didn't last in my phone whole day ... many bugs, missing settings possibilities, slow behavior ... etc. Of course someone can use it, but I didn't. I have Deep shining now for about 3 weeks, still finding some advises to fix or bypass some minor bugs and I'm more and more sutified with it ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] robinio:
Well I won't quote myself becouse posts are few clicks away but I couldn't keep any program running in background. In those few weeks I had this ROM installed I NEWER saw any program in task manager. I use Garmin and Excel occationally and it was very disturbing when I couldn't switch between running programs (becouse when I wen't to Today screen foreground program always closes). It doesn't help me if other services (not visible in Task Manager) runs, this still bothers me very much. And as I said, I had ROM installed for (relatively) long time becouse I liked it. But now I definitely won't recommend this discontinued ROM to noone. I admin I didn't google for those registry settings (why didn't you post it if they are ROM related?) but why should I? ROM just didn't work, tried to apply fixed from first posts and then gave up.

And about Manila 2.5 my words was also that users should check it but "...must test before I can recommend it.". And still think so. Beautifull ROM and I see that many users like it and think that it is fast. I don't agree on these, but still worth checking. So what is problem here?

Now using X2H™ WM6.5 and seems like a keeper, but will definitely have eye on Manila 2.5.

Sometimes using google and the search feature in this forum helps you a lot and makes you understand that things are not so "not recomended"

There are several ways to stop applications autokill:

Have you tried Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3?

Open Advanced configuration Tool go to 'HTC Task Manager' and set 'Auto Kill' to disabled.

or

Hkey_Current_USER/Software/HTC/Taskmanager

"Enable Autokill" change from 1 to 0

and finnally

this one will kill the apps only if you tap and hold

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\TaskManager]

"EnableTapAndHold"="00000001"

As far as I know there are a few in this thread that knows how to cook.

If anybody wants to pick up where he left us, I'm willing to continue hosting the mirror for it. I don't have the spare time to do the cooking myself (or rather: I have a lot of spare time, being on disability pension, but my health don't give me a lot of time to spend on this).
