Hello : i bought the new Diamomd.
Its a complete desapoitment : Its slow , after on week start to lose ink in the front , the back already have scratches... I never drop the phone... its just the use in the pocket.
Its very hot in when the calls have more than five minutes , if gps is used it can be used to cook too !
btw - The batery is riculous....
I read in the foruns that this kind of problems afect all buyers , with the exception of losing ink in the front... , this is not a faulty unit , is a FAULTY PRODUCT !
Don't want to start a flame or contest your facts, but I beg to disagree.
After a week I'm still in love with it, and that's saying something
You love the design ? Ou the funcionality ?
I need a phone / pda to work , not a gadget.
The quality of the materials used in the casing for a gadeget with this price is BAD
What rom are you using ?
Bring yours back for warranty. Mine came out of the box fine. Not slow either in my opinion, even after booting several programms. And yes the battery will be drained quickly and will get hot the first few times you charge it. After that batterylife should get better and it shouldnt get hot anymore either.
I disagree as well, ive had my Diamond for about a week now...and ive had it in my pocket and mine hasnt scratched nor has the finish started to peel or come off.
As for the diamond itself...have you applied the tweaks in the sticky above??. Before i applied those tweaks i really thought it was terrible, the diamond that was but after i applied the tweaks...i fall more and more in love with the Diamond each day...sure it has a few problems still but thats due to WM...memory leakage amongst one and the poor battery capacity on such a device.
Other than those 2 issues i love the Diamond and couldnt be without it now.
i even dropped, twice! no scratches, no peeling. using a screen protection already changed the ROM, twice...better ROMs still to come
. shortly: another satisfied client of HTC!
galinha .. R U on drugs or something ?
I am used to change my phone every 4months or so ( kind of hobby)
and trust me when I say ,this is a good piece of phone !
It's been a week I am having it now and I dont regret any cent I spent on it ...

If you did not want a gadget why did you bought this phone in the first place? if you want a business pda buy a HP or something. I used this phone for almost 2 and a half week now and with the latest ROM everything works perfect! I have it in my pocket all the time, every day.. no scratches at all! Ok it gets oh but not so hot you can't hold it anymore.. And the speed, well it may not be the fastest phone around, but did you ever try a Nokia? same price or more expensive, no VGA screen and Symbian! No I LOVE my Diamond..
Just my two cents (sponsored by HTC)

Please dont be ofensive..be clear on topic.
For me this a personal ofense saying that im on drugs , i ask the moderator to give me the details of this user !
i should say that he is not totally wrong mine too is slow even after the Tweaks !
Only the main menu is faster but for each appllication , calling contacats, change settings , making photos, open files the phone is so slow comapred to my old dual touch ..
I hope a new rom will come out fast!
Another useless thread...
HastaSSSS

...its makes me laugh when someone posts a thread about how much they hate a phone or a particular product...i really dont see the point of doing such a thing.
I mean ive had plenty of issues with previous phones and products but i wont make a thread saying how much i dislike it. Of course ill say if the phone is good or not...if it isnt then id say..look i dont like it, i couldnt get on with it etc etc and leave it at that.
I'll be honest last weekend i got the phone and i wasnt that impressed with the phone...yes it looks lovely but the performance was an issue as well as the battery but after applying those tweaks...its been near enough perfect. Im not under the impression that it was going to be the end all and be all of all phones. I know for a fact that the SE Xperia X1 will have its own set of issues. But places like XDA give us end users the chance to rectify alot of these issues. Anyone who uses a WM device know about XDA...its their first stop for them if they have any issues. If it wasnt for this place then i wouldnt even consider a WM device let alone own one.

not useless! I was looking forward to the Diamond for months now because I really need a replacement for my current PDA + Cell Phone setup. And I thought that Windows Mobile 6.1 would be much much better then 2003 SE (as I have now on my Axim X50v).
But seeing how many people are not satisfied with their HTC Diamond and what's even worse, how many people have technical problems with it I decided not to order it - at least for now.
I don't need a phone which I have to charge every few hours, I thought my Axim was bad, but this phone sounds even worse. And I don't have the time to make use of all those tweaks - why can't they configure the phone properbly in the factory?
And by now I thought that those devices should have fast enough hardware to not make you wait for your phone all the time.
I don't really want to start a discussion between the Iphone and the Diamond (I bet there have been enough around already) but the Iphone has more then double of standby / talk time, for a smartphone it's power is quite good and the applications don't take long to load or stutter. And most of all, it just works, out of the box. No need to use custom hacks or roms.
That's really dissapointing, I was looking forward to the Diamond so much...

I heard of this site for the first time today, and only by accident. And I have been using a WM 2003 device for mhm like 4 years now? Well it's not a phone but still...
But don't you think it's horrible that you even need a special website with tweaks and hacks to get your 'phone' working?
Next week I need to spend 10 hours surfing the net to find hints on how to make my refrigerator effiecent because the manufacturer wasn't able to do it himself? - Really I think this is a wrong trend.
If you dont like it, send it back, simple as pie.

Yes, this phone works - xda just makes it work better. Back in college I used to repair refrigerators and while your refrigerator is working, I would bet it is not working as good as it could be. The point is, there are a lot of people willing to make their phones better and we benefit from that here at xda.
I really hated to respond to this useless thread, why do you even post if your not here to help? Spend your time writing HTC instead.

Horrible lol....not in the slightest...its not only XDA that are around but you my-symbian for symbian phones...so why do you think its horrible that there are places like this around to help us end users get the best out of our devices??.
Fine there are technical problems with the Diamond...you can blame HTC or M$ for those problems but at least places like this ensure that the phones are running better than they were out of the box so to speak. Plus if it wasnt for these places then how would we know about certain tweaks...again other phones ie symbian phones have forums littered all over the place with people passing info around.
If you find this place so horrible then i question the need for you to be here.
The funniest thing is people expected this phone to be the best device EVER!!!!111!!!. Fine thats marketing for you but i dont buy into all the bull**** to be honest, its sad that people actually bought into all that marketing hype lol...i havent come across a phone in my many yrs of using mobile devices that is perfect especially ones that allow you to do so many things ie browse the net, check emails, take pics, use gps navigation....you get my drift.
Like i said earlier i took a good few weeks reading posts on here about the Diamond and its many problems but it didnt put me off...i bought the device and ive been more than happy with it...if and IF i couldnt get on with it then i would have sent it back for a refund within a few days. Thats the part i dont understand people slate the phone...they have had it a good few weeks...if you dont like it then sell it or send it back and leave us to exchange info between ourselves so we can make the Diamond a better experience for ourselves.

Ermmm seriously how many people can you say arent satisfied with the Diamond...off the top of my head i can only think of 4 or 5 maybe...so thats not many is it??.
Dont even get me started on the iphone, it doesnt even do the basic function of MMS FFS...which even a £20 phone will do quite easily. Plus the fact that it cant actually multi task...at least with the Diamond i can run a few programs at the same time...fine it isnt exactly the speediest device out there but in time it will only get better. With the iphone you have jailbreak it to out other apps on there...i cant be arsed to do that everytime i want to add something to it. Shame really because ill be honest i was really looking forward to the 3g iphone but not anymore and i know plenty of people who wont buy it now....it just doesnt bring anything new to the iphone other than gps, push email and 3g...massive failure in my books but of course you will have your apple freaks who will buy it because its an apple.
Galinha este pda e perfeito, lol.
This a perfect pda.
I dont own a Diamond yet..
It's going to be my first WM phone,
Have always been with Nokia Series60...
Got excited seeing the Diamond on net while searching for my next phone...
Came across XDA-Developers..
I been reading discussions & problems Diamond Owners are facing everyday..
See daily how Xda helps people solve these problems..
I'm happy..
Still feel there are many reasons to buy the diamond...
Confident that Xda will have solutions for my problems..
GOING TO BUY IT THE DAY IT's AVAILABLE IN INDIA!!!
AND I WONT REGRET BUYING IT....!!!!
Its just sinking in for me.. im kind of bummed about it.
The measly 4GB on the diamond with NO means of expansion is not enough.
The iphone offers 8 and 16.. even the freaking Samsung Tocco is being given away with 8GB card.
What were HTC thinking?!

No.. I absolutely detest the iPhone.
I already have my diamond, but tonight (as I put loads of music on my device) ive been thinking about it more and more... why didnt HTC put at least 8GB in it or add a Micro SD slot.
Other than that, I absolutely adore my diamond. Its a fantastic device and a great upgrade to my HTC Touch.
The whole 'mine is bigger than yours' thing doesn't bother me.
It's a phone, not an entertainment system for me.
I always carry a usb drive and am rarely far from a real pc.
When I ordered it I hadn't noticed the lack of card slot and I've only ever had a 2gig card in my previous smartphones. Maybe I just don't understand the concern to have so much on a media player but then again I did used to buy C120 tapes for my walkman

I cant remember the exact figure but it would add several mm to the device to put in a MicroSD slot so that's the main reason they didnt. There may also be power savings and speed improvements but i beleive the size issue was the most important.

Second the notion! One of the best things the Diamond has is its size!
Perfect size,you boys are forgetting the SIZE.

Turns into one too you try and do anything clever on it ;-)
I'm syncing my diamond to my iMac(itunes) using missing sync, so I'm not really sure whether this is possible using media player on windows, haven't been using windows for years so I have no idea as to it's playlist capabilities...
I've got two playlists that I'm syncing (everytime my diamond connects, basically every night) the first one I add music to as I please (songs I have to actually add to the playlist)... The second however consists of songs played less than three times... I have a pretty large library and my diamond pretty much always have music on it that I'm not tired of, hence I find the 4Gb quite sufficient. This is also available for videos, or video podcasts (if you use your diamond as a video player)
They'll comeout with one with more memory, until then, go to www.modmyifone.com:)

I absolutely agree. Everyone knows that the Diamond has 4Gb and is not expandable. Pretty pathetic really if they buy it and then realise they want more space.
I have stored 100+ pics, 15 hours of music and installed all programs in the internal storage - and I still have 2,4 GB free.

I am perfectly within my rights to discuss the shortcomings of a product that I purchased within the arena of a forum dedicated to said product.
A forum exists for discussion, debate and problem solving. What do you expect, me to create countless thread of "how much I love my diamond". No.
You dont like it, stay out of the thread.

Not really. Its like anything else, you buy it thinking it'll be fine - its only when the space runs out that you realise you want more.
And no - dont go suggesting the iphone as an alternative, to me its a compromise. I want a kick ass Windows Mobile device. The diamond is damn near perfect apart from the storage issue. Curious HTC went this route as
1) Flash memory is very cheap. Hardly any cost difference between 4GB and 8GB
2)A Micro SD slot will not impact size that much
Do any of you think there will be any third party solutions (adaptors of some sort?)

The forum is for trying to solve a problem and sharing information.
Moaning - perhaps understandable to a certain limit.
Now, you know there is nothing you (or anyone else can do) about the 4 GB internal sotrage that you got with your phone.
If there is a new version of the diamond, with more memory or an external card slot.. someone will definitely share that info.
Unless that's what you were doing, I don't think that moaning is going to get you anywhere or achieve anything.
An exercise in futility.
If you just want to share your opinion, there are plenty of places where you can do so.
Doing it on a forum where people are looking for solutions, not exactly the best approach.
Just my view

Not really - there are workable solutions, for example someone mentioned ORB.. plus I'd like to get into dialogue about the possibility of adaptors..
I wont be dictated to about what I can or cannot talk about.
I mean a thread dedicated to wallpaper on the diamond (Which is near 5 pages long) is more redundant than this one, yet I hear no complaints about that.
Hello. I bought one overseas for my daughters birthday but it is in Chinese language. I am completely game console stupid.
Do you have an step by step instructions for Nintendo ds dummies, like me?
Did you get a chip for the DS as in R4, Simply M3, etc etc? In otherwords those things that allows you to download DS roms and play for free? If so, the answer would probably be that you maxed out the SD card through the chip which freaks out the card when it creates a file that is actually bigger than what it canhandle. otherwise, you got duped and probably a fake DS. try registering the DS online with the code behind it. if it doesn't work, it's fake.
There is an offtopic section for these types of questions...as this section is dedicated to phones.

I'm stuggling to get my CL850 Bluetooth Laser Projection Keyboard working with my HD2.
I had it working fine with my HD with the manufacturers WM6.0 Drivers but I'm getting a "security database" error on my HD2?
I'm hoping that it may just be a BT Stack issue and that a new (or different) Radio Version may solve the problem.
I'm still on Rom 1.48 with Radio 2.06.51.07 - I've had so much added to my ROM I haven't had the time to upgrade it as yet
Has anyone had any success with other Rom or Radio versions?
Thanks in advance....
PS. There's a similar posting (not mine) in the HD2 General Forum but I thought it sits better here as its an accessory.....
.
Just bumping this in the hope that someone can help???
I've upgraded to ROM 1.66.405.2 with Radio 2.06.51.07 but still not having any success??? Anyone got any ideas?
.
You are a moneybag no one have such keyboard
too expensive for us (ordinary people)
wait until price will drop about 70% down
then more people can buy it, it means more people can have problems with it an more people will be involved to solve those problems.
but now it's a nonsense to get it for the price about half of HTC HD2
I'm having the same problem as well. I have tried quite a few methods with limited success. Its a shame really, the keyboard is really nice to use and would be perfect for Office Mobile on the move!

i bought my keyboard new for £95 last month, cheapest i can find HD2 in UK is £460
I reckon Celluon have gone under though, lots of people complaining that there is no support contact for quite some time now

???? You've made me smile - a lot..... I've had the CL850 for over a year.... Maybe I had more money a year ago??? Didn't we all....?????
Thank you though for your Very (VERY) useful comments.... Its always good to see members supporting each other
Back on topic though. There are a lot of Bluetooth devices that do not appear to be working properly with the current HD2 Stack? I'm hoping HTC will take note and address in later Radio versions?
.
I just explained why you shouldn't wonder that no one replies.
Simply very few people have this keyboard.

OK - So the first time in response to you post I'm smiling and showing some patience - now I'm really wondering WHY you have replied? Do YOU have this keyboard? Are YOU having problems with the current BT Stack on the HD2 with other devices? Do YOU have something useful to share with us? Mmmmm..... I wonder?
If you can offer some useful guidance then I would be most grateful?

Bluinput
I got one of these for £44 on Ebay Basically as a space saver if I wanted to use my HD2 as a document editor on a train/plane (will need a kick stand battery for this though)
There is a definate problem with BT on the HD2 in trying to get this to interface. Works OK on my XDA Orbit2 though.
I'm waiting to see if BlueInput will address the issue when it is released. Currently this is in Beta testing at the moment.
Given that micro-projectors are starting to be put into phones, how long will it be before we see laser projection interfaces built into a phone?
sooooo
anything? lets hear some good news. i love my celluon
no support for 6.5
I have the same problem. There is no solution because there is no support for windows mobile 6.5. Look at www.celluon.com and write an email with a request for a new driver/firmware for windows mobile 6.5 like I did and then wait....
Have you tried the WM6.1 driver?
I think i had it working on my Kaiser.
I havent tried the driver on my HD2 yet!
I have bought a second-hand of this , but no where I can find bluetooth software for it , so I can only use it throught USB, could anybody have this keyboard kindly share a copy of the shipped CD ? or point me to some place to download ? thank in advance. My email is [email protected]
I believe we already know that there is a fm transmitter chip builtin to the snapdragon. Does anybody know a way to activate and use it? (I am not a developer but merely a user)
In my country data is not so cheap and not so widespread. Even if it were so, fm radio eats much less battery than 3g (i believe). htc desire seems to have in its specs an "fm radio".
so what about nexus one? can we have fm radio (if not transmitter?) it would be really really nice to have for me. I hate carrying one headphone for my dumb nokia phone to play radio and another for the "smart" nexus one for mp3s..
