GPS doen't work in my HTC Diamond

I purchased my HTC Touch Diamond few days ago and I have the following problems:
Item 1:
After testing several programs (Tomtom7, googlemaps, etc.) internal GPS has never work.
QuickGPS works ok (because in reality only uses the data connection).
The phone was originally with ROM 1.37.456.2, and I also tried with Elite 1.0 ROM. With both ROMs internal still do not work.
Any suggestion?
Item 2:
When I receive a call usually the "Answer" button is pressed in the case involuntarily. Thus the call is answered without knowing it.
Is there any way to minimize this problem?
Of course I appreciate any suggestions.
Ricardo from Uruguay.

Do you have A-GPS (Assisted GPS) enabled with AdvancedConfig ?
If so, disable it.

Very strange...
Can you give us your Radio version ?
Did change something ont the GPS settings ?

Please find the solution at my post

GPS doesn't work
I have Agps Disable.
I have already done many Hard Resets.
Now I am using "HTS GPS Tool". In the setting tab aI can see a lot of information coming, but Satellites used is 0.
Of course no other navigation software is working.
Do you recommend any other ROM?
Thanks in advace for any suggestion.
Ricardo.

I have the same problem
I have AGPS disable
The first time, i run my tomtom 6, it works very well, after i reboot my diamond, it doesnt work any more, i wait all the time for the signal GPS
I use the original ROM, but i dont think it is the ROM problem

This is a common problem.
Don't bother messing around with settings it wont work, just do a hard reset and the GPS should come back

everybody do that ?

If your programs wont access GPS, and you get no GPS by altering the 'external GPS' to com port 4 (program) and Com 0 or 2 (hardware) and ticking the 'let windows manage GPS' box, then GPS will not appear unless you do a hard reset

so, do u mean that, one time i do a soft reset, then a hard reset have to be done for GPS?

My Diamond once lost the ability to get any GPS signal, but this is how I fixed it...
1. Go to "externalGPS" then "Access" tab then Untick the checkbox then hit ok
2. Turn the device off
3. Turn it back on then tick the checkbox then hit ok
It should now find a signal (May take about 2 mins the first time)

I've spent hours reading every thread on here and other forums about GPS not working and changing every com port in gps manager, and nothing worked.
Its just so much quicker to do a hard reset.
Don't waste your time. If you can't get GPS back by changing the com port settings a couple of times, then don't mess with it all night. Do a hard reset and get on with your life

I had similar issues. Seemed to get solved for me by repeatedly selecting and uselecting the "Use GPS" in Google maps. Not sure if it's the same issue but it solved it in my case.

My gps stopped working, too. When I pleaded for help here, Akito gave me this solution:
"The HTC GPS tool is for download at http://rapidshare.com/files/84815853...C_GPS_TOOL.cab and it's discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477 .
In the first screenshot in that thread you can see a drop-down box which says "hot start". What I do is to first click the button "open"... then in the tab "sattelite" my problem gets confirmed (can't see any sattelite then). I go back to the first tab, I click the drop-down box, select "cold start", click Nav. Init. click the button close and immediatly open.... et voila, it works again. Sounds quite complicated, however once you've done it a 1st and 2nd time, it's a piece of cake lol"
It worked immediately. Try it - and you will send the kindest thoughts to Akito, too.

When I used HTC tool, the only port that could be opened was port 3 and 7. After opening either of these, when I pressed INIT, I got the response "Unable to Send NMEA command"
So there was definitely some problem with the GPS being "seen"

HTC Diamond WiFi issue, help needed

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can resolve/give suggestion for my problem.
Basically i have experience problems connecting via Wi-Fi i.e the after activating wi-fi the phone will scan for available networks and give you the list. I then try to connect to my router (bt home hub which is actually speed touch) it does connect and stays connected for some time then suddenly the connection is dropped and under wifi it says that my access point is unavailable. If i turn wifi off/on again and scan for networks it comes up with "No visible Networks detected" even though there are like 5 access points in my house and i can connect to any of them using my laptop and old nokia e60. If i wait a while it will connect again but will not keep the connection. I have tried at home, work and some public places-every time is the same story.
Things i tried:
Soft reset/hard reset (many times)
Tried disabling phone radio in case3g chip interrupts
I tried with secure networks, open networks, different types of authentication/encryption, different router (more than 10) and every its the same story. I also tried several ROMS and ALL RADIO's available with the same result.
I am currently on Duttys_Diamv2.3 WWE RADIO 1.00.25.08, its a clean flash, nothing else is installed. I also have SPL-1.40Olinex installed (not sure if that could have an impact) The phone is vodafone branded btw (i had the same issue with vodafone rom which is why i decided to try other roms). I wonder if anyone has any thoughts/suggestions and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

The same situation happened to my Diamond. I took it to the local dealer for HTC and after several days, I am told that the main board will need replacement. I am still waiting for it to be repaired as the parts had to be braught in from another country. I was also saud if the phone was less than a month old (which it is not) they would have replaced it with a new phone.
Good luck repairing yours and keep us updated.

Thanks Omar, I was kinda thinking that it may be hardware issue, but I don't anymore, I am trying something else actually as we speak. The only thing I haven't tried before is another hard SPL and I think that's the problem, I installed another version hspl1.34 and it seems more stable now and wifi keep connection, also with another hspl version (it was hspl 1.24) RAM under devise info>hardware showed 128, now it is 192. I will test in intensively and post my results here in case nay one else have the same issue. Hopefully I will not have to send it away for repair. Thanks for your info anyways.

In risk of sounding lame ...
Have ya tried 'Start' / 'Settings' / 'System' 'Wireless LAN'
Under Wireless LAN click 3'rd tab (strømtilstand in Danish - could be power-settings)
On that tab - pull the marker way to the left in order not to minimize the power consumption when tryng to hookup with the WiFi.
I had massive problems to get my local WiFi working at home - until I did this trick.
Best luck, Kindly

Yes i have thats the first thin you do anyways . I am now more than sure that the issue was with HSPL version 1.34, as soon as i got rid of it (installed hspl 1.24) all is fine.

With my phone, i tired all Hard SPL versions and even went back to stock SPL & Rom 1.37 & 1.93 and it still didn't fix the WIFI issue. it will work for 5-15 minutes then it will not work.
Anyway, I got a replacement phone as apparently they couldn't fix it.

...I have the same problems with you
However, I think the problem may caused by different ROM versions.
My hTC version Diamond initially flashed a Chinese version ROM, and the WiFi connects well, while I changed to Dutty's most updated ROM, this problem comes and I cannot figure out why untill now.
Some friends also suggested to go to the Power Management and change WiFi to "Best Performance", I tried and failed again.
WiFi can open and connect to Routers located in library of my university, nevertheless it cannot open any pages.
I'm also waiting for any person that can solve the problem and then help us figure out why....
thanks in advance!

I got the same problem as most of the people have. and i think "Fail to turn on wifi" is a very common among guyz who got HTC TD.
I dont know what should be done, i almost tried every thing. actually my phone was locked to 3 mobile Sweden and i unlocked it but my wifi was'nt working before unlocking too but i did'nt gave attention to it. Now i noticed it.. is that any one know how to lock it again soo that i can send my mobile for repairs or, any one know what should i do.

I would recommend upgrading your radio and your rom.
Ive been rocking the setup in my sig for some weeks now and its been flawless, stable and fast.

which rom and radio you are using. can you please help me in this matter.
and i think its not a hardware problem because its showing that hardware is connected to my device as its shown in the screen shoot

Hi,
Im using AlphaZero V7 NLD,
Im have 1 wifi point in my house, downstairs.
even when im on the attic i have 80% signal strengt.
My router is a draytek 2820G router.
Wifi for me is very good. .. correctly, AZTOR V7 NLD is very good for me.
im on t-mobile network.
Radio Radio v1.00.25.05 , Radio v1.00.25.08, Radio v1.00.25.16, where all good,
now testing Radio v1.08.25.20, HDSPA signal is bit weaker atm.
my best radia atm i think, v1.00.25.08.
im betting, that the starter of this toppic, who has 5 access points in his house all have the same SSID. This is not the way.
Or make 1 big AP aera, bij connecting the AP's to each other.
of try to set every AP its own SSID, and its own Channel.

i also have the same problem. it detects a wifi (my router at home Aztech brand), then trying to connect to it, and then it always showed the wifi as "unavailable". i put my phone 2 mm distance from the antenna of my router it also won't connect. i have change dozens of roms, win 6.1, 6.5, 6.5.1, different cook, MTTY, all with no success.
i've looked for internet and google for answers, i seen quite a lot of forum has described this issue, but with no solution. most of the ppl suggest in various forums to pull the wireless slider to "Best Performance", ofcourse i have done that, but is just the same result.
i'm still trying searching for a solution for this, i hope is not a hardware issue because my warranty has already ended. i'm currently using Gen Y R4.1B rom

Ok consider now wifi will work by re-flashing the spl.
But what is the relation between spl (os/winmo loader) with wifi?

another dang unsolved diamond wifi?
bravo.

same problem with wifi on diamond2
With Original stock WM6.1 i was unable to connect at all, after flashed official WM6.5 upgrade everything worked fine. However i decided to put cooked rom because of battery life and perfomance issues. Dutty HG6 for Topaz seems to be with glitchy radio, it works sometimes, very rare, and i'm still not up to the pattern when does it happen and why. Pretty sure it's not a hardware problem - so everybody relax, we will find the solution.

usbtool won't do it anymore =/

Hey guys,
I received my Shift today and l liberated it. Usbtool worked for a couple of times, now it won't do it anymore. I searched the whole board up and down but i could not find an useful answer.
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks so far!

Some things that may make it work:
1. Try disconnecting your Shift from the 3G/2G network (this is best done in Vista and WINMO). In effect, you can only recieve SMS in this mode and no internet.
2. If the above does not work, try turning your Modem off (in Vista or WinMo, does not really matter) prior to using the USB.
3. Try above and increase Vista power setting to High Performance
4. Try 2 and 3 and have the Shift plugged into the wall.
The big issue is that the Modem (3G connectivity) is great, but shares the same "USB" connection that the USB Tool will use to connect to the Shift. As such, they two do not play nice. When in a 3G area, I always turn the modem off before synching the WinMo side with Vista. Since I normally only synch once or twice a day, this is not a problem for me.
Have fun!

Hey,
okay I tried your hints. I even reinstalled Windowsmobile and did the HardSPL thingy again. But the same problem: It won't work anymore. I guess it's a Vista Bug, I'll try system recovery if I've got some time to do so...

Try it while vista is connected to a wifi network, I find this works best.

it seems that this is an old problem. You can try go to the winmo's Settings->Connections->USB to PC, uncheck the "enable advanced network".
Then try sync again. However, I have found this created another problem, the winmo will hangup occasionally.
To solve this problem, you need to go back and check "enable advanced network". The best way is unchecked to sync, checked after you finish the sync.

I'm having a problem with my Kaiser, WiFi does not turn on. And I don't mean I can't connect, I mean it doesn't turn on. Searching on the forum I found this threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420868&highlight=turn+wifi (This one even has a video showing what happens when trying to turn WiFi on)
And
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381370&highlight=turn+wifi
But there is no solution for the problem on any of them.
I've already flashed tons of differents SPLs, radios and ROMs, soft/hard reseted and even did a "task 2a" (wich whiped everything, bricking my Kaiser. Thanks jockyw2001 for FrankenKaiser!). None of this made my WiFi work.
On the Hermes forum I've found this thread:

Thank you, but that guy's WiFi turns on and doesn't find any networks. My WiFi does not turn on. On the other hand, if your pourpose was to tell me that my WiFi is "broken" I would like to know what is broken so I can fix it. Thanks!

The number 3 capacitor is fried on the wifi card.
Maybe my mindset is too simple, but I always think that if (on a device like this) you reload fresh software over and over that is known to work, and the device doesn't work, then the device is broken. There are no dip switchs or knobs to turn, no drivers to reload (because you just reloaded them by reinstalling the ROM). Maybe you can reseat the device. Take a look at the disassemble guide and see.

What about this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322225
Don't you think it's worth a try?

I would suggest you ask Drummer10630 or someone like Chainfire, if that is a bad idea. It looks like it could work with the right files.
I wouldn't want to suggest you zap your phone more then it's already zapped.

Here you go at it again.
TILT doesn't have a WiFi card or WiFi adapter as you keep on calling it.
Here is an advice for you: if you don't know the answer, don't answer the question.
hth

Oh then what should I call the wireless thing? Does it work on magic?
If you're so freakn smart why isn't your wireless working?

I got same problem which cannot turn on WIFI, almost seach all the solution about this problem and send my device to repair to find the hardware problem , but still cannot work, i give up already. fortunately, I know how to make it work sometime, there has some experience about it,hope it can help you.
. turn on the SYNC connectoin option Allow wireless connection
. pull up battery for 30 second.
. hardrest after refesh new rom.
but those for my device only can work for once, after device sleep cannot turn on again, or freezen and after soft rest, wifi cant turn on again.

Broken WiFi for htc Diamond :(

Hi guys, I mingled with my phone last night and installed this android build i saw on neopeek, it said it has 3d drivers and camera working so i thought idd give it a shot. I installed it and it worked pretty fast , then i wanted to download an app and started wifi.
It took longer than usual to activate so i went to settings (i activated it from the power control widget 1st) to check out whats going on. And wifi it was saying activating .. error. I tried a few times when i said to myself , oh well, good build , but wifi aint working.
I returned to windows mobile and now i cant activate it anymore not even in windows mobile. I tried everything, soft reset, hard reset, installed a stock rom, nothing works
can anyone help me ? is it broken hardware ? should i use the heat gan on the wifi chip ? what should i do ? thanks
this is what the guy says to do

hi, i installed your rom, replaced the kernel for the camera to work, and i tried logging into wifi, it said error. i returned to windows mobile and now the wifi doesnt work in windows mobile either. is there something i can do ? thx
i remember that in early version it happens. I thinks the solution was to reset our device until windows recognize wifi.
i tried everything, soft reset, hard reset, installed a different rom with new radios, nuthin` worked. I think the wifi is broken hardware
Also When im in windows mobile and i go to device information , i can see the bluetooth mac address, i cant see wifi anywhere in the hardware tab
Sorry for editing once again , just wanted to say i tryed MTTY format + ROM installation, and its the same, i guess its hardware broken and i need a heatgun, will post updates, if anyone cares

200+ views and no answer. Thats pretty sad, i guess im posting so i can bump it in front, maybe someone sees it and can help somehow.

you don't see wifi MAC address under hardware..
I had same problem, changed bottom buttons(contains wifi chip as well) and now working
I changed them because they had pretty bad scratches.
you can get those pretty cheap on ebay.
if reassembing, make sure you connect screen and buttons ribbon cable(they don't snap in)

solved
Okay first of all i would like to thank the person who posted an answer , it really helped.
I didnt even buy new buttons, i just disconnected the phone from all the connectors (display, buttons, etc.), and reconnected. It was really hard reconnecting the display but i did it in the end. Now wifi works once again !
One happy camper here !
If you guys have the same problem , and have enough patience to disassemble and reassemble , this is your answer !
Mods, you can rename this one as solved
