Urgent help needed!

Help.. my Kaiser just died on me.. Just an hour ago it was working fine, then it went to sleep mode and it wouldn't wake up.. so the only way was to take the battery out.. I took the battery out and then it wouldn't load pass the Smart mobility screen. It just stays like that.. I tried taking the battery out for 30 minutes and it still doesn't work..
What happened to my kaiser and how can I fix it>?

What ROM are u using? and have u recently used clear temp?
If the answer to the above is Duttys and yes...
then Hard reset...no other way
There is an issue with Duttys hybrid and clear temp.

Did you purchase this from AT&T?
What has their tech support said?
Is it still under warranty? If so I would return it for warranty replacement.
This sounds like something failed in your hardware causing a software failure - if it is hardware you are going to want a new machine.

No I never used clear temp. This just happened out of the blue while I was at work.

Hold down Camer, Power & then push the reset tab & hold all three down until the tri-color screen pops up. See if you can get it into BL mode. Let me know.

Seems like the hard reset did the trick.. actually 2 hard resets.. the first one didn't work, it still froze there.. then a second one got it loading again...

Crap... JIM... I think I may have BRICKED it

Well I was enjoying my Diamond today (picked it up from my local Telus store here in Vancouver, BC.) I was disappointed with the aGPS functionality so I tried to enter into service mode and load up the recommended applications (in other posts on PPCGeeks - I think the code was ##3326 or something like that...) Well - tried to install the application from the PC but unfortunately my PC didn't have the necessary file to do it. I started on my merry way using the phone anyhow and things were working fine without a hitch until I tried to take some video and the device slowed to a crawl. I decided to go ahead and soft reset the unit to clear things out. Right after I did this I the machine went into boot mode (where Touch Diamond heading appears and the red ROM information displays.) This is exactly where it has stayed. I thought maybe the battery was dead so I plugged it into the wall and let it sit for a while. Then I picked it up to see if it would boot. No go - WM 6.1 will not boot up. After to attempting to boot again several times through soft reset I decided the only choice I would have would be to hard reset. I held down the volume down button and held down the enter button, pushed in the reset button with the style... let up the reset button (still holding down volume down and enter...) and waited for the impending message to appear confirming a wipe. No Show Dorthy... nothing - zilch, nadda noonkah. So now I'm sitting here looking at this beautiful piece of equipment wondering if I have bricked the unit by entering the service mode and not getting out (pardon my ignorance on the topic... I'm a rank noob.)
Long story short - I'm looking for assistance, guidance, and help. The Touch Diamond screen just stares me in the face every time I try and reboot and I'm getting frustrated. It was by an act of the high heavens that I actually got the unit (the store only had 2) and I am praying there is hope for my lovely piece of lush ... albeit useless... Diamond...
SOS to the masters.
Sincerely,
Tweaking Diamond User

I don't know what you mean by service mode. Does it display SERIAL or USB? What do you exactly see. Don't think you bricked it, you need more for that

Not sure what you did to the ROM but it doesnt sound like you went into boot loader - rather just reset the device.
Hold down the down volume button while you hit reset and keep holding the down volume until the unit goes into a three color screen. Once its there that is the bootloader. Probably best to Hard SPL it from there and then load another quality ROM onto it.

open the back take out the battery for 10 seconds, reinstall battery, boot it up!
.it should work. if not, then you have one very expensive BRICK!

I second mr_cat's solution. You need to enter in the bootloader mode...

You should be able to revive it...look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417341

This is a CDMA device... do not use hardspl or any roms on here, as there is no good reason to believe the gsm roms will help you... I suggest as gtpete does... remove the batt for a small period of time then try again. When trying to hard reset make sure you keep the vol dn and enter buttons held until you see the clear storage screen... don't let up too early.
Failing any of this return it to telus... no damage no foul...

Well, for clarification, what model of the diamond are we speaking of? The DIAM100 is certainly NOT a CDMA device. I'm in the US and use a GSM provider so I can't speak of Telus.

2 issues with Tilt keypad

I bought an ATT tilt quite a while ago. It is out of warranty now, and wouldn't you know it, something went wrong.
I'm currently using Dutty's Diamond ROM (with the keyboard fix installed), but the same happened before with the official ROM. While I text some keys don't work. I'll be typing away, just to look at the screen and see that I am missing a bunch of letters, rendering the message unreadable. I then have to go back and fill in all the blanks, and even then sometimes it takes several tries to get it to go. The same happens with the backspace key; sometimes it just doesn't work, other times it does (oddly enough, when it doesn't work normally, it usually lets me hit "function" and use it as the delete key).
My other concern is that there is a ton of lag while typing. It takes a while for letters to show up. Is that normal (for the Tilt, at least. I'm still wishing I had bought a BlackBerry)?

Yeah, I had similar troubles. I just upgraded my SPL and hopefully will be testing it further testing.
what SPL are you running?

I'm not entirely sure, it was a while ago that I flashed the ROM. How do I find out what it is? I tried Device Information, but it wasn't there.

you have to put it in Bootloader mode.
hold power and camera button while resetting with the stylus, then you'll come to the tricolor screen which will give you the SPL info.

KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8

I am having the same exact problem, 1 out of 5 times it works corectly so im thinking it has to be somekind of software, my problem started when I started using ROMeOS's rom's and I have tried different SPL's virsions.

I've heard that the keyboard/membrane may be the problem. Is that likely? If so, is there anywhere to buy them?

You can use this to update your SPL, I just went from 1.0 to 3.29.

cnn.cn has them for cheap AFAIK!

Thanks!
But they only have the outer keypad (the one right below the screen). Well, I hope this can be fixed with software, because the only place I saw that listed them showed them at $39.99 and they were out of stock.

I got the same SPL he has, I did a hard reset afterwards then downgraded back to 1.0 because I saw no improvement.

I thought RomeOS worked best with 3.29.

found this in another thread!

Success! If the SPL doesn't work and I can't convince AT&T to do it, I'll order one and put it in. How do you install it?
EDIT: I just installed skyfire, and noticed that while I was putting in my email and password it was smooth and nothing was skipped. I'm almost 100% certain this is a problem with WinMo itself

I have been having the same problem as you are describing, but I have noticed that it is with heavy use keys like T, H, E, R, S and for some reason V.
I was getting the feeling that it was a hardware problem rather than a software problem because, especially with the V, I have to apply a bit of pressure to get the button to work.
Unfortunately for me I bought mine off Ebay so the warranty is already void.
Incidentally mine started happening when I had the original network providers (T-Mobile) rom on it. I have since installed an original HTC rom and it hasnt made the slightest bit of difference.
So, how easy is it to open up the back of the Tytn II and replace the keyboard unit then?

Oh my god! Thank you for posting this. I swear I have always felt like posting this but always got too lazy. I thought it was only me that had this problem. It is so annoying typing away, and then having to spend another minute to retype the letters that didn't get inputed the first time. It is so frustrating and I thought it was my fault or something, or ROM, I believe its hardware related, but I am not going to spend another dime on this POS. I'm just not so patiently awaiting t-mobile to release their android device, and I will jump ship and never look back! Thanks for the post again, it has given me piece of mind.....ironically

I'm kind of wanting T-Mobile's Android phone, but seeing as how it's made by HTC, I'll wait for the first couple of user-reviews to come out. I bought the Tilt based on website reviews, but man, I was really misled. They said the camera was great, I can only get blurry unrecognizable images. They made no mention of the fact that when you switch to landscape it takes 3 seconds for all the graphics to appear.
I'm disappointed, and I think my next phone will be a plain vanilla flip phone.
Anywho, I'm updating the SPL now, I'll post if it makes any change.

Okay, I now have HardSPL 3.56 and there does not appear to be much of a change. There was some short lag at the beginning of the text string, but afterwards it caught up. I missed no letters this time. I cannot say how much of this was the placebo effect (i.e. it just felt faster), but perhaps if everyone with the issue tries we can have a reasonable answer.
ETA: I added a poll, so if you try this, fill in the poll!

disable word suggestion under Input setting.
i don't miss any characters with it disabled.

It was already disabled for me. I know I didn't change it, I think the ROM came that way.

Has anyone seen this problem before? - See Photo

Hi all,
My Vario 3 was in my pocket and the keylock wasn't on so buttons where being pressed at random.
Looking at the screen there is now a permanent white column to the left. It doesn't matter what program I display, it's always there, I've rebooted the device and the thing won't go away. (see attached photo)
Any ideas what may be causing this?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried hard reset?

same thing happened to my Hermes, went away after a hard reset.

Thanks for the replies,
By hard reset I'm guessing you mean to remove the battery, wait a while, then put battery back and boot up?
I did that a few times and it's still there...
Any other ideas?
PS. I've attached another image showing the white column against the WM6 bootsplash screen

No, hard reset is something different. Check my signature to see what a soft reset and hard reset are and how to perform them.

Just performed a hard reset and it's STILL there!

hard reset means that you will lose all your data...
are you sure you did that?
if you did that and the screen is still like that, then maybe your screen has become faulty, which means you will have to change to a new screen if that white bar really bothers you that much.
I think it costs around £70 to £80 for a new screen.
If you have insurance with your service provider they might just give you a new phone.

Yep, Hard Reset wiped all my data clean off.
Yikes, so it could be a column of dead pixels!

try going into bootloader mode. if it is still there, then maybe your screen is to blame.

What about trying to realign the screen?

@Elisha
Yep. Still there on bootloader screen
@Mikulec
How do you realign the screen?

if it is hardware related, you will need to get a new screen. you can get it here: http://cnn.cn/shop/tytn-iitilt-screen-p-2032.html
or from fleabay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/Full-Original-LC...ryZ20336QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Thanks, I assumed you meant you could somehow move the screens x-axis, I've tried calibrating the stylus but to no avail
Looks like it is hardware related then.

you could try a new ROM but if bootloader screen looks like that too, i doubt the new rom will help any.

Oh well, I'll make do for now and then maybe look into upgrading to a new handset in the not too distant future.
btw, What's the next in line to the Kaiser? Raphael?

Thats a good question, some say yes and some say no, the Raphael has less hardware buttons and not ahve tilted screen. So make your decision.
Maybe u can wait a little, nvidias chips look awsome, look at nvidia tegra.

Mikulec,
Wow! That looks great! No tilt, but hey with those specs I could plug it into a hdmi monitor and forget about the tiny screen altogether! I'm sold!
Thanks to all that have helped diagnose the problem with my Kaiser!

Battery not Updating correctly and Key pad buttons not correct

Hey there i was hoping some one could help me out. I have 2 things
1.) The Battery Icon on the top bar does not update at all. It just shows a full charge no matter how much charge my phone has, When I plug it in it doesn't change to charging either. If I go to battery properties I then can see how much charge my phone has. Anyone encountered this?
2.)2 buttons on my key board are reversed. The 2 Fn Blue buttons "!" and "@" are reversed, how do I change those?
I am on rom version Stylez Black WM 6.1 Full v.3 Beta 2

and the last program I installed was S2U2 v2.04

Could be that you have the kaiser keyboard and not the Tilt.

Hmmmm, thats intresting
well my model # is kais100 and its HTC 8925.
is there still away to re-assign keys so I can fix this problem?

well if it's the problem that I think it is.
search + tilt keyboard problem = win!

It is also addressed in the faqs on the first page of the rom. Why people throw their phone in to the fire with out even spending 5 min to read the faqs is still beyond me. I have flashed my phone well over a hundred times and I still read the entire first page of any new rom I am flashing, to see what I am getting into with my $500 phone.
As far as the taskbar icons go, could be a bad flash, could just be a phone hiccup, no one else has had that problem with the rom. Try a hard reset or reflash the rom.

Thanks for the fast responses! I totally missed the keyboard fix on the FAQ, I got everything else (including the Radio from the FAQ) but that slipped by me.
now I am still new at tweaking my phone so will a hard reset restore all my setting and I will have reinstall all my programs I downloaded?

Just Figured out a Hard Reset will Erase all my Data. So no one else has had this problem...hhmmmm... It has to be one of the programs I installed, Maybe if I uninstall them 1 at a time ...... anyone else got any Ideas?
