This phone is driving me nuts

This phone is making me like...crazy!
and this is why:
I synct some playlists to the phone with windows media player 10, suddenly all playlists on my diamond are empty.
When i removed all the playlists on windows media player 10 to sync them again, it deleted all my songs!
now i got all my songs onto the device again, and wanted to alter 1 playlist, it took windows media player 6 minutes, to just alter, replace, 1 pooping playlist!\
Its not possible to remove a playlist created in the touchflo music player itself.
Not able to select it and then delete it.
Half of the icons in the games folder are ****ed up, we already have a thread with solutions(i tried all of them), but none of them worked.
And the performance, even with the tlr rom or whatever the name was, the diamond still goes slow!
And the battery depletes quickly, with auto attach off, and incoming beam off.
Cant receive a file with bluetooth, with incoming beam on or off, it keeps saying my pc is a new device and asks if i want to set a password, no matter if i set a password or not, it goes back to the menu, and still says my pc is a new device
And i used a mod of the diamond tweaks thread, to auto lock my diamond when the screen goed off.
Well, 1/5 times, it autounlocks itself when i turn the screen back on. not good...
And finally, the opera browser is sometimes not doing what i want. sometimes goes to a random place on the page, if i move and let the stylus go, it moves back to that random page, to fix this i need to quit, then restart opera.
This happens about 1/5 times i use opera.
Is this where i payed 481 euro's for...?
Any ideas how to fix this sh!t is welcome, i already did a hard reset to try getting rid of some problems.

Nothing to complain about the phone?

what do you mean?
theres a whole list of bad things there.
btw: forgot to mention that the diamond stylus made some nasty scratches on the screen when wiping over the screen in opera to scroll page, or goto next photo in touchflo, ect.

Got a protector included for that.
Install a fresh rom, I don't have any of your problems.
I use bluetooth a lot:
Sending files (goes hell fast), don't want to use cable when using .cab files here
For my parrot
For use as a modem (have reached 120kbyte/second) when online with phone!
All flawless.
I have very very good results with HTC's own new rom update via e-club.
TLR nr. 2 was quite buggy at my phone.
GOod luck!

Spare yourself next trouble to come and sell it, as I did with mine

what have you got now may i ask?

Humbly returned to my previous P535.
I must admit that apart from Diamond, there is currently not many devices to choose from on the market... Was thinking about getting P750, but still unsure...
Xperia scares me, mainly because of the unusual screen resolution (dunno how all the apps will handle it) and that also is supposed to be made by HTC...
Maybe Diamond Pro will not suffer from these newborn diseases that my Diamond had - will see...

i think im going for the iphone 3g. will be expensive though...
the touch diamond really disappoints me...

Use the hardware buttons beneath the screen. You can navigate to the playlist you want to delete, and hold the 'enter' button to get the menu to get the 'right mouse button menu'.
Using your fingers it is impossible as it automatically selects the playlist if you press it. No menu will pop up.

What do you mean? It will be much cheaper than the Diamond.
I wonder if you're expecting to install applications on that phone, or do any customization...

Mwahahahahahha!!!!
Another Winer! XD
I'd give this post 5/5 for creativity, 6/5 for whining and -1 for usefullness ^^
you can almost FEEEL that you joined only after buying the phone, and I'd guess that it's your first WM one..
Anyway, regarding your problems..
If your phone really is that bad, it's probably broken (pre-production, grey, some dimwit dropped it in the shop or any other reason). In any case, return it by warranty, and get a new one..
Having so many people love this phone, and being able to fix the issues.. and only you and a handful of others run around whining.. Surely it's obvious that it's either a lack of hands.dll or a simple hardware failure..
I mean you should be smart enough to grasp it.... ermm.. right?
Cheers
P.S. Oh, and please don't be offended by this post.. It was mainly inspired by your post anyway, but it was written half-jokingly as I couldn't really answer seriously to that amount of QQ

@ 205_laCoste...
You're my hero.
Had a lot of trouble removing two playlists, but using the hardware buttons solved it right away....
Thank You!

I'm ready to throw my diamond out the window, for pretty much the same reasons. I paid way too much money to have so many problems. And I shouldn't have to flash a new rom. It should be good to go out of the box.
Before I'm also accused of being a whiner, there is a plethora of posts of people having the same problems....with no solutions. The bluetooth issue is a biggie. I tweak my phone to enhance it, but I shouldn't have to be a programmer to simply make it function properly. To suggest that is just arrogant.
There are things that I absolutely love about this phone, but simply as a phone it sucks.

most of the time it is not the fault of the phone but the person
using it.
a lot of people have come here after having a normal phone and
dont understand how to use this one.
treat it more like a computer than a phone.you dont have to be
a programer you just have to know how to read a thread and
follow the directions.
if you have a 1.37 rom you need to upgrade it to a 1.93.
1.37 is crap.okay it shouldnt have been but it was that why
it was upgraded to 1.93.
if you still dont get it then sell the phone.go buy a fruit
phone and get ripped off just like all the other sheep out there.

I have to stand up for nursie here. I've returned my diamond several months ago (yeah, it was driving me nuts) and am happily living with my P750... these offenses are absolutely not necessary and untrue as well as uncritically extolling the device - gee, it's just another PDA

I have to agree, to an extent.
It's generally accepted on here that the Diamond is badly configured out of the box, which is why new users are recommended to flash a new ROM. This is not a good thing, although it's great we have such a good community of chefs to help solve the problem.
What's less well accepted is that much of the HTC software on the Diamond is slow and awkward. I'm talking about TF3D and the HTC dialer in particular, get rid of them and you can make the Diamond a great little phone just like your P750.

I upgraded to 1.93. And I'm quite proficient at reading and researching. I'm also very proficient with current technology. I get it. What you don't get is that a consumer spending big bucks on this phone shouldn't have to resort to advanced tweaks (which I understand, BTW...you won't find me here asking newbie questions) in order to bring the phone up to basic performing standards.
Again.....yours is a fine example of ignorance masking itself as arrogance.

Power button

Hi all!
I'm here around trying to pick up the solution but i've noticed only some trials and not definitive solvings to avoid using power button and prevent the final damage of it(how many times a day you push on it?).
Anybody found the solution?
(I'm starting to make bad dreams with huge POWER BUTTONS around me trying to beat me down!)
Thanks in advance from every Diamond's owner
P.S.: i hope you'll understand my sporadic english language

Not more often than on any other device, WM or other, and I have yet to have the power button fail on me. How often do you use the touchscreen? The scroll wheel? Etc...
P.S.: Pulling out the stylus will bring your phone to life......but than again, the stylus will wear out more quickly...
It´s meant to be used - use it!!

Start Menu->Settings->System->Key Lock
And if you really don't want to touch your Touch (!) Diamond but want to turn it on, you can take your wife/girl friend phone and call you .
And perhaps could a G-Sensor SDK master create an app that turn on the Diamond when you shake it ^_^.

right..solved so..
Seriously, i think the best is the solution above(use it) and do not stay confused if it could be unserviceable in a few weeks...
I don't think that HTC made something without thinking about this problem(am i right?)

you are so naive... i wish HTC worried a little bit more about the quality of its products and not about how to get them out before the iphone....

headphone icon

hi all
ive tried the search option but i couldnt find an answer
my problem is that when i plug my headphones in i got get the icon appear on the screen anymore they work fine and the mic works fine just the icon doesnt appear ive tried turning it on n off and a soft reset and taking the battery out and spent ages looking through setting to see if ive turned it off by mistake but i cant seem to sort it
thanks foe your help
chris

I don't understand what you want? Is there a problem with your phone?

when i plug my headphones in the icon does not appear on the screen like it use to

They are working right? I don't see a problem then.

Try plugging the headphones in and out a couple of times, there are many with the same problem, also there are allot of topics about it!

an icon suppose to appear???? lol this is new to me, i have never seen an earphone icon...and i listen to music like 3-4 times a day

yeah i use to get a litle headphone icon appear next to the signal

are you on custom rom with custom taskbar? try to install back the stock taskbar icons

That happens because when you put the jack you block the piece of plastic that makes the contact.
Try put and take out the jack several times, if not work, go to SE service.
My X1 have that problem and the SE give me a new phone lol.

wtf?

camera button for music player in sleep mode?

hello people....is there any way (well im sure theres a way but i just dont know how to do it) to get the camera button to change the song to the next one in the music player app without having to unlock the screen and tap the next button?
i think it would be useful for when i connect my phone to my car stereo and when im using the phones loud speaker

anybody?.....i know at least 45 ppl have viewed this....not 1 answer?

.........................................................

Honestly, this seems like a pretty good idea... I always listen to my music on my phone while I'm riding the bus to school at like 6:30 in the morning and I get some sleep in then. It would be kinda nice to be able to skip a song without having to actually open my eyes and get them to not burn out when I look at my phone screen and try to find the "Next Track" button
I'm pretty sure that its just as simple as making a dummy app that calls an Intent to the Music app to skip to the next track, but I don't really know what to do :-(

That's a good idea, but if it's possible make it like how blackberries have it, you just hold onto the volume up to go to the next track, and you hold on the volume down to go back a track.

i didnt know about that....but it sounds even better than my idea...but also quick and easy......
Is there anyone out here that knows how to do it?

im veeeeerrrry patient

Boy, I got a lot of heat from asking this question. But what I got was that you can't change some of the buttons cause its something or other.
They told me that you can just double press the HTC button thing on the headset.

"bump motherfkr do you speak it?" hahaha i think thats why they got pissed hahaha but it made me laugh
i know the adapter does it...but two of em i had already got messed up...
i guess thisll be the last bump

It requires remapping of keys, and it might break some things, I'm not sure how this could be done easily though. If you want to not have to unlock hero has controls on the lockscreen.

Lollipop - Bluetooth Connection Issue

Hi
In my car I have a Kinivo BTC450 which is like a Bluetooth audio reciever. When i start the car it is supposed to connect to the phone automatically provided the phones Bluetooth is turned on. This worked flawlessly in KitKat but since the update to Lollipop I have had to turn the Bluetooth off and on again to get it to connect. It doesn't connect by itself.
It's clearly a problem with the phone as every other factor is unchanged.
Any suggestions? Thanks

By the way I should mention that it does sort of connect, the moto app turns on driving mode when it connects to the car. That still comes on but it doesn't connect fully if you know what I mean

Some suggestions
Read some of my Suggestions. Hope they help.

OK_So:#
Is the Reciever ORIGINAL or replica?
Had one of the technical parts/units ever taken physical damage/Water Damage/ Exposure to too low/high temperature?
Is the air inside of the car too humid?
Clean up with a Microphaser aka Microfibre-cloth
Reboot the device
Is there an app which causes this? Try to boot in safe mode (by long-holding the Shutdown-Entry in the Stand-by menu.) and then try.
All the best, have a nice day and best for your luck.

Receiver is original. No damage. No humidity.
Everything was fine while on Kitkat. I'll try it tomorrow with safe mode though and report back.

Yes i know, asking for pressing the Thanks-Button sucks - and sometimes also in signature. (But i haven't got anything against it).
...but most likely you forgot to do. So asking for thanks has a small advantage as a reminder!
I am not selfish or greedy to having a higher thanks count but can i please ask you to press the thanks button in the case that my post helped you?
