I've done the upgrade by few days, and i've discovered this strange behaviours (don't know if they are already known):
-When i remove and put again the battery on the boot i see
R none
G none
D 5.xxxxx
so radio is disabled,
doing a soft reset repair the situation.
-Occasionally when i turn on flight mode, the phone goes off, and after few seconds it returns on automatically. Sometimes instead, the phone goes off, but the right green led continues to blink.
-When sound is off or volume is 0, and i receive a flash sms message (i've not tested with other events) the event sound play anyway (very annoying).
I have seen the first two problems (I'm using Antz ROM at the moment). I think they are both related...it's as though the ohone itself is crashing and WM5 cannot talk to it, which would explain the lack of driver version numbers on the reset. I had both after messing around with flight mode. It took a power down, wait 15 sec, then soft-reset to get me going.
I suspect it may be something to do with activating flightmode while wireless is on, but that is a complete guess.

Mmm, i think not, because i've discovered while wireless was off.
However i think that the worst problem is the sound playing when volume is 0...
Check those two:

I am using the 'standard' WM5 version, and this 'radio none' thing happens to me too when I remove the battery, so I guess it's WM5 related...
anyway soft resetting again works for me too

My backlight stays on when ever i get a text or a call. Even if i hangup, it still stays on and then i have to manually dim it. Its damn annoying, as my fone is not always with me. Ill come home and the thing would be flat due to a text early the morning and the backlight staying on the whole day.
I did a hard reset a while ago and that seems to cure it, but when i backup my data, the backlight issue is back.
I almost want to think that active sync is the culprit. dont know how or why, but it has some influence on the phone. Any Ideas?
thanx
Check your backlight (dim after X minutes) and power (turn off after Y minutes) settings?
Turn off backlight if device is not used for - 10seconds (battery power)
Turn off backlight if device is not used for - 1 minute (External power)
thats the current setttings?
Do you have your phone connected to the PC via activesync (usb or bluetooth) all day?
No, not at all. Bluetooth is off, wifi is off, its just idling. If i get a text or a call it stays on.
when i do connect to the pc its via usb
Have you installed any non standard applications that adjust the backlight???? I had the same problem when I used wm5 Ipaq programs on my TyTN.
not at all. I recently did a hard reset.
then plugged it into the pc a couple of times. So i gathered activesync connected a few times and now its giving me the same old crap
Did you install Manilla TouchFlo?
nope. there is only oem software on the fone

KaiserTweak is just what you need! You can change all the 'sleep' options around, without having to dive into the registry.

what did you do *before* your diamond stopped turning on?? unless you had a completely unpredicted system meltdown of your diamond for injecting it with super high voltage. it is rare for it to not power off unless you did something ... so please elaborate so we can assist better.
Ok, yesterday i use the phone like anothe normal day, in the night i turn off the phone, and in the morning, when i tried to turn on, i have this problem, for example, when a tried to do a soft, hard reset, the screen is in black, when a conect the phone to the usb the screen is black, is, i left the phone alone, in 3 minutes the black screen again, i don´t know why.
any LED activity when plugged into USB?
I think it is a major manufacture problem
I had the same problem, taking out the battery waiting a while and inserting it back, will solve the problem for some time but it will happen again.
Finally I sent it to the HTC support center.
I don't understand why HTC didn't recall.
If you'll search this forum you'll see the same problem in different stages, some times it's a blank screen but the phone will ring and some are just freeze.
Hi, I've had my Diamond for about a month soon and it started earlier this week by not wanting to come on at all. Been taking out the battery for a few days but eventually got fed up and did a hardware reset tonight. Not long after that it just suddenly turned itself off and I couldn't get it back on again. I thought I'd pack it back into the box it came in and send it back tomorrow and took out the sim card. After that it came to life again.
Happened to get a call after that and that call was suddenly disconnected without any reason.
So I am not very happy with this phone at the moment. Would appreciate any advice or if you know for sure it can't be sorted maybe I should send it back and ask for another one?

Nothing, but one time the pc detect the phone, but later nothing.
No Led activity either on mine when it went dead.
When the Phone goes dead, try cooling the phone down as much as possible, and try starting it up again.....
There is a problem with the HTC Diamond in that it can cook itself (excessive heat), due to the auto over temp function crashing and not switching off the phone..... (That's what I have been told at least...)
I know over around 5 Diamonds so far that have had this issue, where the symptoms slowly get worse...
Have a look at this thread....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2905775#post2905775
PLEASE P.M. me if you have any of the symptoms described in the thread...
I have been TRYING to get my Diamond fixed under warranty now for 2 months with little success... And I kinda need to know how wide spread this problem is to proceed any further.
could not turn on after blank screen ...
Hello,
I've had the same issue as rmorera, and after I hard reseted the phone all went o.k.. BUT after I reinstalled part of the small apps I use, the phone started to go off again. So, the problem seems to be in the software ...
I believe the cause might be the SRS WOW which I use. I installed the .cab, then the .reg file provided (ufortunatelly I don't remember from which thread I got the files ...). And shortly after, the phone stopped working. I uninstalled the software, and now it works! Could it be that the SRS WoW did this?
I tried to reinstall the SRS WoW and I found that if enabled for "Internal (Stereo)" instead of "Headphones" it gets my phone shut when the WM blanks the screen. If I select the "Headphones" options the issue seems to disappear.
Still, the SRS WoW damages the volume buttons action, but I think this issue is on another thread ...
Anyone experiencing this? My phone turns off by itself all of the sudden and can't be turned on unless I soft reset it..
yeah it happened once yesterday kind of strange but it was the first time so I don’t think it’s a very big problem
I've experienced it 3 times now. I will try a Hard reset to see if it helps
Can all 3 of you list the applications installed
I have never had this problem but if the 3 of you come together, you might find all 3 have a program in common installed and that is what is causing it.
I have only installed AmazeGPS..
installed only Sygic McGuider if the other also has installed a nav program that auto runs if you disconnect the usb cable from the pc or remove and replace the memcard then it has something to do with it but dont really thinks so
I've noticed the phone isn't actually off as the green light is blinking because of a SMS. But the phone doesn't react to any keys pressed
happened to me as well.
Its a rom bug.
Sometimes the screen switches off. I have noticed it though when i leave the gallery open, or if the phone switches off when using the camera.
Hi i have a few issues on my diamond. I hope you guys could help..
1st issue: lately my diamond keeps on resetting by itself.
2nd issue: later I've learned that when I record my voice using the software within the ROM, I don't hear anything but when I record my voice using my htc headset/earphones there is a sound.
What I did was:
This day I've flashed a new rom (Energy Rom) into my Diamond. It works ok then I flashed the Radio (Radio_1.13.25.24). I was able to use my diamond for a few hours.
Now..
3rd issue: My diamond is not powering on..
What i did before this happened was...
I pressed and hold the power button for about a few seconds so the ShutXP would pop up and I could soft reset my diamond.Before I clicked the soft reset button, I was checking out all the functions of it. then i clicked, a little icon,which is the Setup Timer Action. Here's the setup:
Action: Turn Off Pocket PC
In: (i don't exactly have seen the time indicated)
As curious as i am, I Clicked the Set Action button. It did shut my diamond off. Then I tried turning it on, but all it was doing was vibrate and the screen was black. At first I was hearing the start up sound a few times but later it didn't hear it anymore. I plugged in the charger but there's no white light on the circle button which used to have a light on the borders of the circle button when plugged in the usb cable. I tried pressing the power button plus the Volume down so the bootloader would appear but it did not. What shall I do?
Are you sure that the screen working because the phone vibrate and play the startup sound so if think its the screen that have som serious problem !!
HELP
I also flashed a new rom (Energy Rom) into my Diamond before.
It cannot run window mobile6.5.........how can I do???
I cannot connect to PC .......
I recently also had a similiar problem, after attempting a flash of the Rom, the ROM update stopped halfway through and reported that it had lost connection to the device....
The whole phone would not vibrate/power on, nothing - no glowing ring around the middle button to indicate it charging at all.
I had to return to the repair centre and somehow they didn't notice that I had modified the firmware and replaced the whole phone for free citing a hardware issue ...
Doesnt sound good if you cannot hard reset the device
Hi all,
I frequently charge my X1i through USB. There are 2 problems with this method, however.
1) The device goes into USB drive mode, disabling my SD card apps (I keep them on SD card AT ALL TIMES due to frequent backups/restores)
2) Screen does not turn off! while connected to computer! The screen only dims, but does not turn off.
WITHOUT resorting to a) plugging into wall outlet b) connecting to Activesync, is there any to fix these behaviors?
Thanks!
just let it go into activesync mode, that way you can still access your files on your phone and micro sd card from both your pc and phone. And if you dont like the screen not turning off, they just change the settings or just press the power button, to shut off the display.
I know about the power setting, but when your computer is connected to the computer via USB, it refuses to turn off the screen (only dims it)
what? one simple button press and the screen is off. the device is still visible to the pc. I do it all the time - r3a generic uk rom.
in power options u can set after what time it disables screen... default is never

Weird. When I'm connected to Pc, it dims the screen, it does not shut it off. Also, it does NOT auto-shut of screen after the 2 minutes specific in the Power options
You can also use "safely remove devices" to disconnect the data connection from the phone, it'll still charge.
There's nothing we can do AUTO. But like said before, a simple pression on the power button will do it, or you can use My Mobiler and press F11 on your PC.

Yep, I've had 5 different WinMo devices since '05 and they all worked as expected except the X1. I like to use it as an MP3 player at night, Pocket Player has a sleep timer built in so I just like to leave it running as I drift off most nights. But if I do anything, change the volume, rewind, anything at all the screen comes back on and stays on until I hit some other button to turn it back off. All my other devices obeyed the settings you set in the Power tab, but not the X1...
I'd very much like the screen to auto-off if I tell it to while on USB power. It's not only wasting power, but it wakes me up and gets me fumbling for the tiny power button at 2 in the morning. Any fix would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
I bumped up thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561832 Since it has a better title and shows the exact same unresolved issue...
Reg Fix
Adding this potential fix here as well so anyone subscribed to this thread sees it.
Ok, I think I have a fix for this. I googled around some more and found that this might be an HTC problem more than an SE one. There were various registry keys people suggested to try to fix the 'backlight problem' - which may or may not be related. None of those suggestions seemed to work, but I kept changing keys myself and eventually found this seemed to do the trick.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\ACUserIdle: 120
I confirmed that changing this value affects the amount of time before my X1's screen turns off - but my MP3s still play with the screen off and my phone wakes on receipt of a new call. This value is the # of seconds before the screen turns itself off (in this case 2 minutes). You do need to soft reset for the change to take effect.
This doesn't seem to be posted anywhere else that I've found doing this to fix this issue issue - I changed a few other registry keys as well that might be enabling this fix. So anyone with this problem, please do give this a try and if it doesn't work I'll post the other keys I changed as well - and if it does then post to say so and we're good

Update: I tested it also while hooked up to the computer and it does work with the phone accessible through active sync with the screen off and the battery charging (faster now that it isn't competing with the screen for power, except for the 2 minutes before it times out). If I want to use it I just click a button and the screen stays on till I leave it alone for 2 mins and it remains off. Get a call or a message and the screen goes on for 2 minutes and then off - Exact same behaviour on AC and USB - exactly the behaviour I wanted .
