Randomly now, The phone will not go on standby when i press the button, or shutdown if i hold it?!?
I have the Official HTC rom on my kaiser, no aftermarket ones.
The phone also doesnt spin the screen when i open the keyboard, tomtom will not load etc.
What the heck is going on?
ok now when i try and load anything, all the files are missing, no reception.
Theo nly thing i have done is uninstall google navigator.
I am gonna have to hard reset i think.
sounds like its time for a hard reset.
I have just done and all is back
I for one, am not going to install rubbish applications, Tomtom, S2U2, kaiser tweak and a few reg settings. Thats it.
I need it to be reliable!
Cheers
I used to have an XDA Mini S, and thought wm6 would be different, but its just as bad, but not as bad as a blackberry
I don't have any problems and I'm an app whore. I install sorts of stuff. Doesn't mean I love them though.

Well, being a somewhat n00b to PPC's, and curious to see just how many of my 8525 apps worked on the Tilt/TyTN/Kaiser, i tried to get the PTT fix application installed, which it did successfully, however after a soft reset you STILL cannot change the PTT button function like you could with the 8525/Hermes/TyTN. I even tried reinstalling with a soft reset, powered off, removed/replaced the battery, and still no luck. I would love to remap that useless button to, say, the GPS apps i have.
Give it some time my boy the tilt just came out I'm sure with due time these issues will be fixed. I would install the HTC ROM on your tilt anyway since its so much cleaner and better!
AT&T
Ditch the AT&T rom and go with the HTC ROM. You can remap the button as you wish without any extra utils.
I didn't think there was a way to install the Kaiser ROM yet, not to mention the ATT keyboard is different than the Kaiser and one would have to figure out a way to remap that appropriately.
Hi, I'm just turning on my 8925 for the first time and before setting it up I want to remove all the trial stuff. I set up, soft reset when the "3 seconds customization" comes up, but when the device turns back on, it takes me back to set up again (screen align, password, etc.) I've done this before with another Kaiser and I know it works, but this one keeps recycling the whole process. I've gone through the clear storage, set up, soft reset several times already and it's the same each and every time. What am I doing wrong?
I would keep resetting and if it still continues trying to install the bloatware, dump the rom and go with some of the other great ones. L26 Kaiser Diamond Rom V12 has been good for me lately, Schaps has some good ones ot there too. Those roms will better utalize the hardware on your kaiser. Hope this helps...
I'm so fed up with this. I going to stop now since I think too many resets will screw with the device. I'm starting to wonder if this is the same as the last Kaiser I had. For once there's a new green "window mobile 6.1" screen right after the AT&T logo at start up, which my other tilt didnt have. The screen says to wait while it's clearing storage everytime I do a hard reset, then take me to set up again, then back to the 3 seconds of bloated wares. Rinse and repeate. Another difference is that this one came with HTC Home today home screen the one with the big digital clock and tabs.
Could it be this is a used phone and the previous user loaded it with a different ROM?
You need to soft reset BEFORE the 3 second notice comes up...if the box pops up, you're too late and need to wait to get to the today screen once again. Remember...BEFORE...either way, there are many really nice ROMs out there...
Ah hah! Voila, you are THE man! Thank you thank you! <3
Still strange that this one came preloaded with HTC Home plug-in, though. But Im happy either way
My sister got a Tilt today and had the same issue (I tried to guide her over the phone to ditch the bloatware - she won't be flashing ROMs anytime soon...)
Hers contains the HTC Home plugin as well.
They've apparently updated the shipping ROM...
Glad to hear that it works fine before the 3 second box.
You'll be able to remap the PTT button right out of the box also. Good stuff.
Im just hoping this one doesnt have battery problem like the one I got before. I kept it as long as I could, even got an extra power battery for it (since the stock one drained after maybe 6 hours), until the damn thing heat up so bad while being charged that it almost burn my hand...
Been charging this one for a few hours and no heat problem yet!
/fingers crossed
You should really try a Manilla ROM--they are easy on the eyes, very nice interface...look up NATF or the AthineOS Manilla ROM. Both guys did a fantastic job on those...

hey guys, not sure whats going on, but my tilt lately keeps freezing, but it only freezes when i go into landscape mode. i've ran the same programs for a long time (palringo, google maps, live search, kaiser tweak and srs wow) i'm not even running skyfire anymore, and i've uninstalled my opera browser but it keeps freeze. i've done some reflashes and hardware resets, and only ran the above programs, and it still ends up freezing when i put it into landscape. Anyone know what could be causing this? it doesn't matter if im typing landscape in notes, palringo, PIE or anything else, always freezes. The ironic thing is that if i bust out my stylus and type w/ that using the soft keyboard it seems to run just fine (but slows me down A LOT). any help would be much appreciated.
Do you mean your hardware keyboard lags?
If so in software is a speedup keyboard .cab.

no its not a keyboard lag by any means, the phone literally freezes. i dont even have to type when its in lanscape mode for it to freeze, as soon as the screen changes orientation it freezes immediately

Thanks for clarification, just that you say soon as use onscreen keyboard no issue, are you using a stock ROM? Does it happen on a clean flash no programs installed?

sorry, i should have given a lot more info, but i had to jet to class. Anyways, its not the stock rom, i'm running NATF's Lite rom (no TF3D). I actually downloaded originally around september/nov/dec of 08 (dont remember, but its been months that i've been running it). And never had a problem with it...now all of a sudden it seriously craps out everytime i run it. I tried running Hyperdragons IV Lite and i was experiencing some of the same problems. I'm really starting to think its one of the problems i'm running, so i'm going to to a hard reset (again) and see if it runs just palringo, and google maps w/out any problems. its just getting super frustrating to be honest. i'm running the exact same programs that i've ran for the last year, but now its deciding to act up. hopefully its something in the software and not hardware
ok...so i got home, and installed the OEM att tilt rom. really, no matter what program i install, pretty much anything. the freezing occurs. any out there familiar w/ cell phone hardware? i'm thinking that might be the cause, if so...do you think there's anything that can be done/replaced to fix it?
Hi, this started happening to my just today also! At first I thought it was the onscreen keyboard that made my phone freeze (as I have seen others with the same issue) and thought I could fix it by using another keyboard app. I used SPB's keyboard and it prevents my phone from freezing and I'm able to type things using it. BUT my phone STILL freezes when I put it in landscape mode and try to type something. It freezes after typing a couple of letters. This is stock ROM; I've never flashed it.
Is there a .dll I can use to repair or anything of the sort?
Btw, I'm using a Tilt. Thanks!
anyone have any method ..to prevent this problem???
I find that if restart the phone few times will freeze at gray screen .."the original HTC gray blank screen with loading box in the middle" but the antenna reception green light is normal blinking (all the button not functioning).... -solution have to press reset button below ...
so now everytime install new program very scare to restart .. if un lucky ..will stuck at that screen.... really wonder why ...is it the WM6.1 not stable???
I use motorola linux ..no such problem...

Try the relevant ROM thread also look at your hardSPL version. Some users have fewer freezing probs just by updating hardSPL.

Not at all, there's definitely something wrong with your setup if it wont even boot fully. Maybe a hard reset and some testing between installing each individual program will weed out the culprit. That said I've found (at least the HTC official) WM 6.0 ROMs to be much more reliable and stable than WM 6.1 ROMs.

Sorry if it's a dumb question, but is there a HardSPL update for OEM OS?

Not as such - hardSPL is made by dedicated folks who have customised the OEM version but installing it will mean you no longer have an 'official' setup. That said, you can always revert to the official HTC SPL if needed for eg a warranty return. You could also install a newer HTC SPL for your ROM (as long as it's compatible *be careful about this* - eg I'm using the 1.93 HTC SPL with my ROM instead of the 1.56 SPL). This is all explained in the Kaiser wiki (through the xda-wiki button above) so it's well worth having a good read there
aaaahh I looked around. and I can't find a driver to reinstall for the hardware keyboard... I'm assuming this would fix it~
Sorry to double post but I just wanted to say I fixed the problem by backing up and restoring with SKTools after doing a hard reset. It makes me think, what exactly caused the problem in the first place if doing this fixes it? Is there anything that SKTools leaves behind in an All System backup? Perhaps something messed with my registry causing the keyboard to freeze the phone when used.
I'd hate to think my phone can actually get spyware now. Maybe Skyfire's true desktop viewing of webpages allows for this to happen?
Let me know what you guys think
" used Spb's keyboard and it prevents my phone from freezing and I'm able to type things using it. BUT my phone STILL freezes when I put it in landscape mode and try to type something. It freezes after typing a couple of letters. This is stock ROM; I've never flashed it."
If I will you to avoid ...uninstall this soft keyboard ... use back the original keyboard at the time being and see... if u restore back what is the diff compare to now ... If I not wrong still the same ...
FYI, I got this freezing problem is after I have install PCM kb 0.14 ...then I try install & uninstall & install ..and need to restart the phone ..2 out of 4 time is freeze at loading screen .. now really worry is it b'cos I uninstall it at the same time have remove certain original files .....
WM is diff with windows ...lack of tool to chk which system files damage .... I really hate hard reset ..just like computer... imagine keep format the hard disk ....

If only restoring a full size PC was as easy and quick as hard restting. Sure there's a little work involved in reinstalling apps after completing the hard reset but if the apps are well designed ones that install via activesync, that's as easy as going to Activesyncs add and remove programs function and ticking a box. If this is not available then maybe the old app is the cause of the problem?
A hard reset every now and again is very useful for maintaining peak performance and it certainly weeds out whether a problem is hardware or software related pretty quickly.
hello. i recently upgraded to the latest WM6.5 rom (21189) by sun_dream. after the update it was ok. but i can't sync my BA with my pc. i noticed that i failed to "kill" wcescomm before running the update. i need your help! do i need to redo the upgrade itself? i tried to uninstall active sync 4.5 and installed 4.1 but the same results. please advise.
thanks & regards!

Umm I dont know if this would work for you, but try going to settings, connection, and usb connections. There look for something that says something about advanced wireless connections. Make sure thats on(checked). Cause that prevented me from active sync before.
IF that doesnt work, then perform a hard reset. It'll basically reset your devices settings.
To do a hard reset, push the reset button on the bottom of the Blue Angel with the stylus but quickly hold both the buttons on the left side(rec and media) after the reset. Your suppose to been have holding the buttons before the version shows up. After that, 3 things should show up. You want the 2nd and 3rd one to have yes on them, leave the kt memory things as no. Use the rec. to change from yes to no, and media button to scroll down. After the 2nd and 3rd are set to yes. Just hit the mail button. And a white screen should pop up, and the device would reset.
good job, tada1228
that's the way to go.
if all that, however, doesn't solve your problem, try a different, newer build, like 21193, 21198 or 21202.
21202 in my opinion, is the best wm6.5 rom so far, way faster than the revious build, and since your rom is under 21190, even just by one, it wouldn't support several plugins, like titanium weather, fave people and other things.
21189 is a nice build and i don't wanna diss sun_dream, but xplode's 21202 is just a little nicer, faster and i like it better (plus it has a way better extrom).
my BA is up and about! thanks alot, man..
hi guys
got my htc diamond 2 yesterday. it's nto branded and it's not locked. it has a 6.1 windows on it. tried to do a hard reset but it did not work :| (took sim out and battery)
anyways...
as you imagine, I wanted to instal a nice ROM, so dowloaded 6.5 official ROM
when I try to instal it on my phone, after I press UPDATE, the phone goes on standby, active sync disconnects and the process of updating the ROM doesn't even start.
then I downloaded hard-spl, tried to install it but is says that the device is not connected to PC - although it is connected via active sync...
any ideas on how can I sort this out... your help is much appreciated!
forgot to mention some details...
when I try to instal a ROM, I get Error 260 (No connection)
I tried restarting my laptop, the phone and even tried on a different laptop - nothing works...
about the hard spl, I also instaled the required cab but nothing...
just hard reset manual...
hold both volumes and then hold power button
keep holding down until press "up volume" message appear to erase
after hard reset, use 1.83 HardSPL and after use whatever rom you wish
On e.g. Windows 7 you need to install another driver when TD2 is in bootloader mode (can easily be downloaded using winupdate while in bootloader mode).
BTW hard reset means pressing vol up AND vol down AND once reset button (with stylus).

Or Let me Google that for u.

thanks for your answer... I have tried doing the hard reset in all the ways, but it is not working.... i have tried with power button and reset button, while volume up and volute down were both pressed.. it does not work...
i've put a sd card in it and tried to run rom from there ... the way it's done is keeping volume down pressed and then turn the phone on.... the thing is that I don't get the tri-colour screen... it boots normaly and loads windows...
this is amazing... nothing seems to work on it...

@S-Line - i have tried on windows xp and vista... and hard reset does not work on my phone :|
@Tom Lenferink thanks for the idea, i've got a card, formated fat32, put a rom on it with name 'TOPAIMG.nbh' and tried to do volume down and turn on the phone... it loads normaly, doesn't go on the coloured screen...
any more ideas guys? I can see 2 things that can be wrong
1) is not hard slp yet
2) buttons don't seem to work, btu they work in windows mobile
fake fake fake
don't bother guys, i just realised that the phone I got is a fine fake after diamond 2.... sorry for the trouble and people who want to buy diamond2, be very carefull.... it looks identical, windows is the same etc

Interesting, it means that they even copied the serial number if you could download the ROM from HTC website.
Could you pls post pictures of your phone from front and back side ?
How do you know it is not real TD2 (I mean, what is the difference ?)
Post pictures and I'll do a comparison so others know what to look out for. They're very rarely identical.
Andreti ???
hi guys, I just randomly found this thread. been looking for a diamond2 from second hand. bought one a week ago and had exactly the same problem with flashing. after some time i realised that it was a fake clone ugly piece of junk.
so you asked about the differences, here they are:
- the one i had, had no front camera.
- overall build quality was weird, you could tell just by opening it and removing the batt. all the inside parts were somehow covered/sealed with a ducktape - really not htc style
- terrible screeen - terrible colors, contrast, brightness (my good old s710 has much better display), not calibrated - you had to push 2mm below the actual button, slow cpu (all i know it wast really fast, dont know about the speed of the original, never held it)
- no g sensor, no gps module. not sure 100% but it had a shortcut for external gps and you had to push a button to rotate the home screen (i guess both of these kind of imply missing these features)
- when i tried to download the official fw, imei wasnt recognised - which i think, is the best way to find out. after downloading fw from other sources, i got the 260 error.
peace and be careful
Most clones have a 3.5mp camera and 128mb RAM
hard reset
Just a quick note, I tried to carry out a hard reset as in the manual. I could not get it to work - until I found that if I removed battery, refitted it, then a hard reset worked every time. Read my new post to see why I had to do a hard reset....!!!!!
