Just yesterday i set my phone down (in my car) and went in to a restaurant to get food. After i was done eating i came out and now when i power it on it says:
"SIM door is unlocked, please lock it. The device will automatically turn off in 10 seconds".
The sim door IS locked, and i have tried flipping a little black switch right under the sim door locking mechanism in hopes that that was the problem. But now about 20 hours later with the battery out and the sim door wide open in a bag of rice it gave me the same result.
Is my phone ruined? could it possibly be that quirky? And is there ANYTHING I can do?
I recall reading about someone else with that problem on here. Vaguely.
Is there at least any way that i can make this phone able to be sent in to HTC?
Bump to beg for help! Please anyone have any idea how to bypass this? or if i can get a new switch? any help at all would be hugely appreciated!
If this happened to me I would of flashed back to the original rom just in case something would of happened thereafter.
When you remove the battery in your kaiser is there a small round sticker? This is an indicator whether the device has water damage or not. I believe if it is white then there is no evident water damage if it is red then there is.
I may have found a solution for you
Open sim door then let the device turn off again. Power on the device. Once the device gets to the splash screen go into bootloader mode by holding down the camera button while soft resetting. You can flash the original rom from there.
edit: when your in bootloader mode your sim door can be open....
Thanks! that was very helpful, I never thought to try flashing it because if it turned off in 10 seconds it would ruin the device! The sticker on my device is actually rectangular, and its white (no suprise to me)
I suppose my best bet is just flashing it back to a regular ATT ROM and sending it in for repair.
Hey,
I had gotten to sample the HTC Touch Diamond...and thats all. I got it as a gift from overseas (so its a GSM -simcard- phone). Long story short, I didn't want to buy the phone from the local wireless provider because I'd be stuck with them. I open up the HTC box, turn on the phone, calibrate, take a few pics, and then I decided to put in a simcard. The phone was on at the time and I wanted to make a few phone calls to test out the new phone. I have no idea what happend, but the phone just turned off. I turn it on, and there is no lights, no screen, however the phone did turn on (i felt the vibration, and heard the startup sound). I took out the battery, and put it back in a couple of times and I finally got to turn on the screen and lights, however i recieved a werid message, and it didnt seem that my buttons at the front were working right (they worked fine before when i took pics and listend to the demo music), so I unplugged the battery and put it back in..Since then I have not been able to turn on my screen.
Here is how I know the phone is on, but there are no lights and no screen:
1. the boot up vibration
2. the bootup music
3. the volume up and down
4. I am able to touch the screen to turn up and down the volume.
5. When I put in a simcard, the phone does a ring every min or so (I have no idea as to the cause as i cant see error messages)
Now this is what I did to try to fix it:
1. I tried soft reset , however pressing the reset button does not seem to make the phone restart as i can turn up and turn down the volume no matter how long i press the reset button
2. I tried a hard reset, that doesnt seem to work either. (btw im guessing the confirmation message screen and pressing the volume up key) I think that the reason why steps 1 and 2 are not working, is because the phone does not seem to want to restart!
3. I tried taking out the battery and putting it back in..but i never did it for longer than a minute
4. I tried to update the rom, however the rom update application gives me a "Connection error" even though i have my phone plugged in. If i am supposed to set the connnection up from the inside then nm i cant do it cuz i cant see a thing.
5. I tried charging the phone (through USB and the power outlet)
Does anyone have any idea what happend? how can HTC Touch Diamond go from new to blank screen in about 5 minutes of usage?
plz give me all suggestions u can come up with...plz try to help me. Ive been waitign 2 years for a good phone, and now that I have one, I cant use it. Help me!
remove the sim card and see if it acts normal.
is it already unlocked?
the sim card has been removed, reinserted , and removed again.. yes the phone is already unlocked as the simcard apparently worked ( i made a phone call and the phone rang)
has no one ever come across my problem?
bumping...

what did you do *before* your diamond stopped turning on?? unless you had a completely unpredicted system meltdown of your diamond for injecting it with super high voltage. it is rare for it to not power off unless you did something ... so please elaborate so we can assist better.
Ok, yesterday i use the phone like anothe normal day, in the night i turn off the phone, and in the morning, when i tried to turn on, i have this problem, for example, when a tried to do a soft, hard reset, the screen is in black, when a conect the phone to the usb the screen is black, is, i left the phone alone, in 3 minutes the black screen again, i don´t know why.
any LED activity when plugged into USB?
I think it is a major manufacture problem
I had the same problem, taking out the battery waiting a while and inserting it back, will solve the problem for some time but it will happen again.
Finally I sent it to the HTC support center.
I don't understand why HTC didn't recall.
If you'll search this forum you'll see the same problem in different stages, some times it's a blank screen but the phone will ring and some are just freeze.
Hi, I've had my Diamond for about a month soon and it started earlier this week by not wanting to come on at all. Been taking out the battery for a few days but eventually got fed up and did a hardware reset tonight. Not long after that it just suddenly turned itself off and I couldn't get it back on again. I thought I'd pack it back into the box it came in and send it back tomorrow and took out the sim card. After that it came to life again.
Happened to get a call after that and that call was suddenly disconnected without any reason.
So I am not very happy with this phone at the moment. Would appreciate any advice or if you know for sure it can't be sorted maybe I should send it back and ask for another one?

Nothing, but one time the pc detect the phone, but later nothing.
No Led activity either on mine when it went dead.
When the Phone goes dead, try cooling the phone down as much as possible, and try starting it up again.....
There is a problem with the HTC Diamond in that it can cook itself (excessive heat), due to the auto over temp function crashing and not switching off the phone..... (That's what I have been told at least...)
I know over around 5 Diamonds so far that have had this issue, where the symptoms slowly get worse...
Have a look at this thread....

PLEASE P.M. me if you have any of the symptoms described in the thread...
I have been TRYING to get my Diamond fixed under warranty now for 2 months with little success... And I kinda need to know how wide spread this problem is to proceed any further.
could not turn on after blank screen ...
Hello,
I've had the same issue as rmorera, and after I hard reseted the phone all went o.k.. BUT after I reinstalled part of the small apps I use, the phone started to go off again. So, the problem seems to be in the software ...
I believe the cause might be the SRS WOW which I use. I installed the .cab, then the .reg file provided (ufortunatelly I don't remember from which thread I got the files ...). And shortly after, the phone stopped working. I uninstalled the software, and now it works! Could it be that the SRS WoW did this?
I tried to reinstall the SRS WoW and I found that if enabled for "Internal (Stereo)" instead of "Headphones" it gets my phone shut when the WM blanks the screen. If I select the "Headphones" options the issue seems to disappear.
Still, the SRS WoW damages the volume buttons action, but I think this issue is on another thread ...
ok Im sorry if this has been posted i have searched for over an hour looking for my problem.
I have a tilt and today it has just started to do this, when ever i go to shut it down it asks if i do and i hit yes but 2 SEC after it turns back on. It also does the same when i remove the battery and put it back it will turn on without touching anything. also when i have it on and open the sim door it will turn of but then turn on with the sim door open.
please help.
thanks
just did a hard reset, it did not help still doing it.
plaese anyone. i cant stand having to keep the batt out when i need the phone off.
has any one had this happen
Dear XDA community. I'm writing to ask whether the same happened to you and whether you do know how to fix it.
I have a backpack where there is a dedicated soft space for a computer where I usually put my tablet ( with keyboard cover). It happens relatively often that after I pick it from there in order to use it the device has a black screen. It can still receive notifications, and if I connect it to the power it still vibrates but the screen remains black.
The only way that I found to put it back in working order is to press "power + volume down" until it force restarts. Other things that I found online to correct the problem did not work and they are: spam power button, attach and detach the power cable, detach and reattach the keyboard, remove the magnetic back cover.
This behaviour does not happen always but exclusively when I'm carrying it in my backpack and not when at home.
I have checked the threads about the Tab S8 but due to the fact that the Tab S8 does not have it's own sub-forum it's kinda hard to check for duplicates.
Do you have any ideas on why this happens?
P.S. It used to happen before and was very annoying, somehow it stopped. Yesterday I performed a system update and now it is doing it again. My current software version is:
Build Number: TP1A.220624.014.X700XXU3BWB4 ( One UI 5.1, Android 13, Patch 1 February 2023).
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
Update on the topic, I did a factory reset without restoring data and it still keeps doing the same thing. Somehow the screen gets disabled in the backpack while I'm travelling but the tablet is still on and still connects to WiFi networks and Bluetooth devices.
Same problem, same firmware. Did you fix it?
Nope, nothing. Some days it doesn't do that, some days it does every time I put it in my backpack. As you may have read in other posts that I wrote there is also no chance to really have a refund. Best case scenario if you can really prove that something is broken you can have a replacement.
