Just wondering if its worth trying really?

Diamond freezes couple times a day.....

Hi I've looked around and wasn't able to find an answer.
I've had the Diamond for about a week and it seems to freeze on me atleast a couple times a day. The only way i can get it back is if i take off the battery cover and do a soft reset from there.
If someone tell me where i can find the answer to this fix or even if someone can tell me how to fix this problem i would really appreciate it.
Also would this problem stop if i flashed it with a new rom? and if yes and someone knows which rom is the best for the Telus network, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for any help at all guys!
Hi, have you noticed any particular patterns for the crashing? Any particular software being used?
By the way, "brick" tends to mean permanently dead, for example after a bad flash:

Well actually nothing in particular and plus i have lots of ram to spare as well when it does this. Like anywhere from 120mb to 150mb free ram.
not sure if anyone else is having this problem, i mainly hate the freezing because of the soft reset button being under the battery cover, was so much easier on my old titan

i'd try a hard reset. i'm assuming you know what the entails. usually fixes strange issues for me when a solution is not immediately available. but someone more brainy will have a solution for you later. i'm not at all familiar with cdma diamonds.

When I first got my Telus Diamond it was crap, the interface was slow, tf3d was unreliable, playing mp3's was painful to say the least and the battery life was horrendous. I later flashed to a custom ROM and will never go back. Custom ROMS will improve everything from the performance to the freezing and even improve your battery life. As for which ROM I would suggest. Right now I'm on Juicy 3.2 but I have played around with a number of others including MightyStableRom or MSR, last I tried was 2.2 or 2.3 can't remember. Really it is a personal preference whose ROM you go with. The two I named you can't go wrong with. Once you try it though trust me you will be hooked. I've flashed my Diamond like 20+ times already, so much fun and great improvements. Let us know if you have anymore questions!
Thanks a lot guys!
Could anyone point me to a thread where it tell me how to flash my CDMA diamond step by step?
I'm willing to try anything because i love the phone but hate the freezing and the crappy Batt. life.
Hey majorassface, since your with telus and you have flashed your phone numerous times now, do you know where i can download all the telus stock stuff like the spl, radio rom, & stock rom?
So if for any reason i need to take it back to telus for repairs i can flash it back.
Thanks again!

Annoying sound when kaiser is awake..Kindly suggest*urgent*

Hi guyz
I just bought a TyTn II device. I don't know whats gone wrong with it that it is giving me annoying sound when its awake but surprisingly when i turn off the screen the sound goes off. its very annoying just like some bee is there behind..
I wonder if i using some wrong radio 1.65.24.36 with PDACORNER v16ultimate, Hard SPL 3.29[as per the recommendation of cook]. I tried to change the radio but to no avail. it seems its more than that.
i dont know if there is some hardware problem or what. but its really making my experience painful. Kindly suggest your remedies.
come on guyz, hardware techies suggest me what needs to be done, I am really worried with the entire thing. I wish to know if it has been faced by someone or if there is any remedy out there?

Here are some simple questions..........
Did this happen right after installing this rom? Did you have the rom on there a while before it started? did you install any other software between installing the rom and when the buzzing noise started?
Have you tried hardresetting ? ( complete wipe and reinstall of current OS )
Have you tried other spl's? ( as the spl controls things on a hardware level?)
Honestly, to me as a hardware tech, it sounds as though its hardware related. I had a backlight inverter on my laptop cause an odd buzzing sound, but ... maybe its not that...
poor I tried to port hard spl 3.56 but to no avail.
I wish if someone else can help me out. This is really getting very difficult for me to listen to calls with this buzz sound in the back. Kindly help me someone. someone said its a problem of moisture but I am not sure if it is. Bro kindly suggest me if it is the case.
Not much any of us can do at this point -- it sounds like a hardware problem.
Send it in for service.
anybody had this problem. Poor the service company is closed for few days.
I hope someone can help me out with his experience. I wonder if the moisture thing is correct.
How about you answer some of those questions. That guy is trying to help you.

He obviously cannot speak English and is posting through google translate, but still some details would be helpful.
I think the Humming (Bee like noise) is to do with the way the backlight works, try turning the brightness all the way up! It mihgt eliminate it. Mine has always made that noise but since it got replaced (broken usb port) it does not make it as loud much to my relief!
Find some reason to get it replaced

Ans:not specifically as I do Rom flashing every other day & there was no problem after that ever.
Have you tried hardresetting ? ( complete wipe and reinstall of current OS )
Ans:Yes I tried doing that but to no avail.
Have you tried other spl's? ( as the spl controls things on a hardware level?)
Ans: yes i did as i mentioned my last post. but didn't work either.

Thanks mate for your concern.
but do you have any personal experience? or someone in your friend circle had this? i never seen anyone with this annoying problem. some mechanic said its a usual problem of the chip of every flip style phones.
@others
I am afraid if I gave you an impression of being non-english speaker. Kindly stay to the point. I am more concerned about solving my problem rather than showing my english language skills.
Hope some solutions from my friends are on their way.
--edited---
hey chumaleyex,
Brother I am please to see you taking so much interest in this thread but would you care to suggest me something constructive. I am very well proficient with software thing but zero about hardware so felt like asking. But it seems you are more interested in something else but not the issue which I want to get addressed. Kindly give your valuable views so I could see the problems eradicated. The service center of HTC in my city is close for 1week so have to do something with my friends help on xda only.
hope someone I see who had faced this problem or someone in the mechanical field. Thanks allover.

red light of doom

Hello
I am one of the unlucky ones that have this isue on mine kaiser phone. I have read about such solutions:
1. buy new phon/send to service, if have warrinity.
2. link
For the first solution, well i have no warrinity and buing new phone, FORGETIT....
2nd sollutions is no solution at all... thats only a way how to burn down your phone.
So 2nd solution turned m to some ideas about what could be wrong and how to fix it. Since i dont want to destroy min phone compleatly i am despret to find decent solutions. But to understand and find solution i need on thing. THat is full elecronic circuitry (scheme). With it i could try to understand what is that make that light + would be hi chanse to learn how to fix it, so please if anyone have full elecronic circuitry post it here or send to me.
Sorry for making new threat but didnt wanted to put it at end of threat which mostly is made of sentences "i have the same problem".
Does noones response mean that noone have full elecronic circuitry? or that noone who cares have it?

Problems with Battery

Hey.
I just got my new (used 6 months) Diamond, after my Trinity has crashed. But what i observed is that the battery life is extremely low. Is there any possibility to make it last longer. I have seen somwhere on a forum that the combination of SPL, Rom, and Radio might help, but i lost somewhere this thread, cannot find it anymore....
So please can you help me to solve that issue? The Trinity could go much longer when i was using GPS. I was thinking that Diamond should be better.
Plese help.
could you please help?
i ve seen response to threads like this:

thanx for help anyway.

Holy #@$*'ing @$*t ! Sorry your highness for making you wait all of one day to respond to a question that has been discussed ad nauseam throughout the entire internet.
Google is a good friend. Try typing in "Diamond battery life" into Google search and you'd be absolutely amazed as to what happens when you subsequently click on the search button! Let me show you: http://www.google.com/search?q=diam...-ca&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1
In a nut shell;
1. Diamond battery is very small @ 900mAh. Buy a bigger battery if you want
2. Don't leave bluetooth, wifi, and 3G on when you don't need it. All of them draw a lot of power
3. Turn off auto backlight adjustement and set it to a brightness that is comfortable for you to read.

whenever i use in my car the tytn2 plugged in car charger, the power setting window keeps poping up constantly, from 15sec to 1minute delay... since that i cant even use gps (mireo cardinale BE 3.1) cos i have to close the window each time it pops up...
the box "when device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the pc" is unchecked, so it should work flawlessly but it isnt..

Papcina, I'm sorry that no one who happened to read your thread had come across, or knew how to solve this problem, but for the sake of future people who search the forum's old posts for a solution to their issue, could you let us know how you solved this?
