Today I woke up next to Emily (my Tilt) and she wouldn't wake up. I shook her tried to wake her up but it wouldn't work. I stuck the stylus in the hole to do a soft reset and she woke up again. I thought it was weird. Anway I log into this website to see if anything new was posted and tried to connect Emily to activesync. Nothing. I restarted the computer. Soft Reset Emily and nothing. I think the problem is the Radio that I'm using. It's a beta radio.
I'm using ROM: Schap's 4.31 which I love
Radio Version: 1.27.15.32
I was planning on changing the Radio today because this one looks like it consumes alot of battery when doing nothing.
What should I do? Help anyone. Emily is down to 51 percent battery life and I need her!!
Just got off the phone with HTC and asked them if this was a common problem. They stated it wasn't which I thought was BS. I can't get a replacement being that I bought the TILT from my friend who works at AT&T he won it in a raffle. AT&T Warranty Exchange says you can't transfer a warranty to another person so basically I'm f***ked. They tell me they could transfer me to tech support. I work for AT&T tech support and I wouldn't be able to do anything about that issue!! I hope my phone comes to life so I could reflash a different Radio. I think its the Radio thats giving me problems. Anyone disagree?

Has anyone else come accross this? Mine started it a couple of days ago, all sound mutes, even when you move volume slider back up it resets itself to sound off. I did a hard reset after the first occasion, then it did it again. I have not installed any new software so don't think that is the issue. IF you have come accross this and found a work around that does not involve a hard reset I would be grateful for the advice.
soft-reset cures it on mine
Soft resetting does not do anything on mine, only a hard reset cures it, and then only for a couple of days, have aslo lost BT now!!! Can see my headset, pairs with it but wont connect. I have re-flashed the ROM, but problems still exist. O2 are now sending a replacement as the other one is only 2 months old (took some haggling though, O2 customer services is truely diabolical)
o2 online or retail? either way take it to an o2 shop, they HAVE to sort it for you
It was O2 online, they have now told me there is a problem with the new rom and some bt devices!!!!! Still not sure what the problems are, but am sure they are linked to TT3 as well. so will upgrade and se if that helps!
this happened to me... even a hard reset didnt fix it.
For some reason, leaving it to charge in the USB docking cradle all day has cured it
I'm such a liar!
Stupid things started doing it again, worse than ever
Have you got the broadcom BT update loaded on? If so get rid of it, thats what the problem was with mine. But then getting rid of that stopped my headset working if TT3 was loaded, so I have had to upgrade to TT5 to cure that problem!! My problems, though now resolved, all started after I did a rom upgrade from o2!!!!
There have been several problems with the 169 ROM by O2, which versions are you all using?

I did have, but have now rolled it back to the previous version. Even o2 admit that ver 69 has problems with BT devices!!! Wish they would check things before they release them!!
.169 killed my GPS and tom tom :'(
Crap. The problems started when I installed 169... and I've just ordered a TomTom from Ebay :'(
What should I roll back to? Or are there any "unofficial" later roms?
NEWBIE ALERT! FIRST POST.
My phone is a Siemens sx-66. Its really frustrating me to the point that I am ready to toss this thing into the lake.
I am very grateful that this forum exists. I have spent many hours reading the WIKI site for Blue Angel and other valuable collections of data. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
I am looking for a fix for my phone. Here's the details.
My sim card is an AT&T Wireless card. My phone is a branded, Unlocked Cingular phone. AT&T was bought out by Cingular. My previous phone (motorola v600) broke so I bought this phone on Ebay, popped my Sim in and it worked.
I upgraded the ROM and here is the current report from DeviceData.
Model No: PH20B
Minor Version: B1
Language Code: WWE
Operator Code: XGULA
ROM Version: 1.33.10
Extended ROM Version: 1.40.125
Radio Version: 1.02.10
Minor: 02.10
I should change my Sim card to a new Cingular one, but I have chosen not because the plan I have with the former AT&T Wireless has a TON of minutes and Cingular doesn't have a plan that large. My contract is now up and I am hoping to renegotiate my plan with the business dept.
Here's what my phone is doing: I can be in the middle of a call, using my bluetooth earpiece ( I am always using the BT) and all of a sudden, the phone will soft reset. A few times, it will even hard reset. The hard reset is a major Pain in my ARSE because then I have to re-enter all my internet access settings and email settings again. This usually takes about 45 minutes of my time. :shock:
The thought just occurred to me that the problem could be my battery. I don't know enough to know if I need an additional software upgrade or not. Advice is appreciated. I am afraid of upgrading to WM5 because of the bugs that people have complained about.
I love my PDA phone. It keeps me more organized than I've ever been. Unfortunately, the recent problems have caused more problems than they solve.

Thia ia why I upgraded to WM5, but...
The problem is probably a loose battery connector, using a case helped my phone a lot (kept the battery from coming loose), however, you really might want to go with a WM5 install, the worst of the WM5 issues are:
1. Slow phone ringing (there are patches that are supposed to fix this)
2. Some software won't let you become a "registered user" because they do goofy stuff with the registry and your system doesn't respond in their goofy expected way anymore
3. Some people have issues with Blue Tooth, I just wanted features that didn't work in 2003 either, so this is really a non issue (IMO).
Good luck, I still think that you should really consider WM5.
umm... i actually had this problem at one point, but i honestly doubt i had the same one you do. With mine, all the screws under the battery were loose, and everytime i would shake the phone, or anything like that, it would hard reset. I doubt thats it, but check the screws under the battery... maybe some of them are loose?

What are the real, operating advantages of WM5?? I don't want to deal with any more haywire issues with my phone or it will end up at the bottom of a lake.
REALLY NEED SOME HEAVY TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
I am still using the same OS as above. Something has been happening lately...
When my cell receives an incoming call, it doesn't receive it. The red light shows up and the caller's info shows up on history as a missed call but the phone never rang.
What the hell is going on??

try to reflash to win2003se or pick a snazzy wm5 from our boys here, I have the same model.
we had extra 2400mAh batteries laying around so we popped them in these models, definitely a must.
I suggest an aluminum alloy/magnesium case they sell online for about $20US if you can find it, lined with neoprene

Thanks for the info. I contacted cingular and they said they were having technical issues with converting or upgrading stuff.
I'll let you know if I change my mind about upgrading to WM5 but for now, I'll stay put. Upgrading will be my last resort.
Does anyone know how/why this could have happened. Perhaps it was a coincidence that my phone broke at the time of updating....but I just have a feeling something else has happened. I updated to Dutty's Diamond ROM and HardSPL 3.29 and after that, I cannot use 3G at all. I show I am connected to the 3G network, but I cannot make/receive calls, or use the internet. If I turn off 3G, all works fine. I tried 3 or 4 radios to see if that would help, but none did. After trying many things, I decided to go back to my original setup as it worked fine before.....but I still cannot use 3G now. I get a 3 or 4 bar signal on the 3g network it shows, but I cannot make/receive calls or use the internet. I did make sure HSDPA was enabled in KaiserTweak and Advanced Config.
If anyone has any idea...I would be so grateful to hear. I am at a loss over what could have gone wrong...or if I need to send the phone in for service.
I used to run this setup before this issue:
ROM: Alex.v52.ATT.162.cube.rom
Radio: 1.27.14.09
SPL: SPL-1.0.Olipof (Kaiser-HardSPLv1)
I updated my Kaiser to the following:
ROM: Duttys_Diamond_Rom_Ruu_Signed_5.2.1588_1.65.16.25_V1.zip
Radio: 1.65.16.25
SPL: HardSPL - 3.29
after the update, I tried the following Radios to see if it would fix the 3G issue. None of them did...
1.58.25.17
1.65.20.29
Niki Radio - 1.58.11.07
Thanks for any help or suggestions!!
This might be bad info but worth a try.
1. make sure there are no proxies being used
2. make sure all the network settings are correct for your provider
3. maybe post this problem in the thread of the rom you're using.
4. Flash back to the old rom to see if it's a hardware problem.
Thanks Chumley for the quick response!!!
I just verified no proxies are being used at this time... tried with them on and off.
I did revert back from SPL3.29 to SPL-1.0.Olipof (Kaiser-HardSPLv1) and reinstalled the old ROM I was using for the past several months.
Just turned on 3G and cannot make calls or receive them. Also cannot visit any webpages.
I am thinking I have a hardware issue at this time... but curious if I did something wrong that may have caused this.
Thanks for your suggestions... I appreciate it very much.
There was a thread last week like this and at least 2 people reported having a hardware problem. The problem was almost like yours.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396459
OMG!!!! I just helped someone without flaming them...... Something must be wrong.
Well it sounds like what I didn't want to hear. Thanks for that link!
Just wonder why it started the moment after flashing a new ROM/Radio/SPL.... seems like it is related in some way... but who knows.
I guess it was a good run with 3G data while it lasted. ha ha
If anyone knows any ballpark figure on service costs to repair a Kaiser phone, I would love to hear it. I am guessing though that it will not be worth shipping it in for service. Well maybe it will be.
No warranty?
I will have to look into the warranty. I didn't purchase anything extra...so I was sort of assuming there was a 30 - 90 day warranty which has past. Maybe it was a 1yr. Going to have to dig out the paperwork.
Hi,
I have a Kaiser with the following Items:
ROM: 3.31.111.4 GER (downloaded from german T-Mobile Site)
Rom Date: 09/01/08
Radio: 1.59.42.15 (from here, more about it further down)
Protocolle Version: 25.83.30.07H
Here the Problem:
I used to have a Custom ROM on this Kaiser (see my previouse Posts) but since i had some Issues about GPS and so on i decided to go back to the original T-Mobile ROM and downloaded it from theyre german Website.
Everything seemed to be working nice till i noticed that i didnt get as many Calls as i used to.
I went to check my Amount i had left on my Prepaid Card by hitting *101# and send but all i always got was a Message saying *Session ended*, instead of my Amount on my Account.
So i tryed to make a Phonecall with my Kaiser but all i heard was like a Pianolike multitone Chirp in the Speaker.
So i deleted all the Programs i have added, like TOMTOM6, and some Games and i rebooted the Kaiser to find out i could make Calls again.
Shortly thereafter i noticed that this would happen every Time my Kaiser was in Suspend Mode/ Standby so i deactivaed this.
Today i noticed that it happened again even i still had Suspend disabled.
I have already called HTC here in Germany today and all the LAdy told me to try to flash the T-Mobile ROM again and see if it still does the same as it does now, and if so to go to a T-Mobile Shop.
I have looked on this great Site but since i have PC Issues at this Time as well as PPC Issues i cant read through the entire Kaiser Section, I am sorry.
I have already tryed multiple Radios from the BIG RADIO Thread, but no changes.
Does anyone know of any FIX of this, does anyone else have this Issue too?
I would be very Helpfull for any Solution because i really dont want to have them send it in, since i dont know which Radio was on it Stock, nor do i wanna be w ithout it for weeks if i can fix it somehow, even i would much rather have a Diamond in exchange for it (yeah i know i am a dreamer LOL)
Thanks in Advance for any Suggestions, Help or Solutions.
dear all...
i deceided a few weeks ago to change from nokia to the htc touch diamond. a friend of mine has an htc touch hd and i really liked it. the touch display was my favorit. i don't like apple products, so the iphone was never an option, also i don't like samsung products (mobile ones) because i had a samsung mobile and had a lot of troubles with it.
well... since i have the touch diamond, i also have troubles with it. in the first three days i wasn't able to phone -> the phone hangs up and if i tried to dial a number no one can hear me and i didn't hear the one i called. i gave it back to the shop for repair -> after two weeks i got it back and was told there was an software problem and it is now fixed. ok... well it was fixed, but new problems were upcoming. first of all the battery -> it's not possible to pass a day from morning to the late evening with charging the diamond only once... first i thought this is my biggest problem but then i revealed that an other bigger problem exists which actually effects my job. i'm not reachable because my mobile losts connectivity as soon as it goes to standby. when i activate it over the power button it searches for an gsm signal but it doesn't find one. it doesn't matter if i'm in my flat or if i stand with the mobile near to the radio mast. it only helps if i turn the phone function off and on.
my friend told me about the opportunity that this forum exists where people working on developing roms and other nice features for various mobiles and i should take a look at it. well.... i registered here, read the howtos and guides and flashing bibles and tried nearly all available roms here to improve the behaviours of my diamond, but i don't succeed, well this is the time, where i capitulate and ask for help... my provider can't help me... they said that the mobile is not so often sold and they don't hear anything about customer complaints...
info about my acutal-configuration:
mobile: htc touch diamond
spl: 1.9.30-OliNex HSPL
rom: 2.07.Gen.Y GER
radio: 1.09.25.23 (htc because mobile is still security locked)
protocoll version: 52.51.25.26H
provider: A1 mobilkom www.a1.net
location: EU/AT/VIENNA
can anyone give me suggestions what to do?
can anyone help me to make my diamond a mobilephone it should be or give me an advice what i can do?
i also think about resetting the phone to factory defaults (at the moment i'm searching for a guide) and give the handy back and pay the upgrade price for the touch hd... my friend doesn't have any problem with it and i don't know any other way out of this situation... at the moment i have a multimedia device with wich i can't phone and couldn't be reached which in my opinion is absolutly not acceptable.
kind regards
unlock it and use bsb rom
losing GSM signal when the phone is on standby? I'm just making a guess here, but I believe you might have a problem with the ROM and or just only the radio. unlock it and flash a new ROM and or a radio to see if it works
as for battery life, the Diamond battery is very bad, and the radio you use is directly related to the battery life, some radio sucks battery out dry pretty quickly, but normally, this phone requires a charge once per day
