I have a serious problem with my new diamond....
When I get an incoming call, I often miss the call because the phone is really slow to ring/vibrate...
I can see that at least for two of callers rings before it rings/vibrates on my end, the touch pad lights up/flashes. But unless you are physically watching your phone all the time, you have no chance to react in time..
Especially becase the lag-of-death os (wm6) takes eternity to figure out that Im actually frantically pressing 'answer call'
Is there some sort of registry hack for this?
Disabling the phone skin helps (download Schap's Advanced Config) and gives you back about 10Mb of memory. Also, some people say that moving from a .wav ringtone to an mp3 helps. I've not tried the latter but it certainly helped on previous PPCs.
Don't have any suggestions for your problem, but I do have a question of my own:
Who hangs up after 2 rings!?!
Who designs a phone that doesn't ring the first three times and then starts ringing? What's the point?

And the answer to that would be - HTC
BTW just a suggestion, if it might help ...
You can set alerts for missed calls - Start - Settings - Sounds and Notifications.
So.. in case someone does give you a missed call (one or two rings and then disconnects) - you will be notified with a sound. As opposed to pulling the phone out of your pocket - after 30 minutes and then noticing that you have a few missed calls from people who disconnected after 2 rings
Hope this helps.
the thing is that when the phone starts ringing, I need to react... it does actually happen that it is not in my hand, but on the table somewhere etc..
then by the time it rings the second time I get to it, and press answer.. wm6 then takes 2 years to figure out that the moron holding the phone has actually pressed te button..
by then its up to at least 5 rings on the other end... then a lot of people hang up...
what I would like was to tweak the phone to ring immedeately instead of the initial blinking for two rings...
yea someone do help out in this aspect please...
i for one have free incoming call.. so its pretty wasteful to call back a missed call when actually i could have answered it fast enough..
and im using a mp3 ringtone.. din see much improvement..
As told before: seems the diamond dialer interface is causing most of the pain. disabling it makes it respond faster.
but maybe...
someone made a custom VGA version of our Diamond dialer skin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2365614&postcount=16
perhaps if we install this we get our Diamond skin back but without delay (???). it's worth a try, I will try it later.
disadvantage: 5 Mb extra storage space consumed.
I just did some testing on my Diamond.
I have a .wav as ringtone, am using the new dailer interface and am not using TF3D.
The phone starts ringing after the caller hears the second ring on his end, not too bad is it?
Also, I noticed disabling the new dailer interface also disables the "flip the phone to mute" option?
yes its bad.. or not good enough...
did you notice that the ring on your diamond is in fact blinking for those two first rings?
So the phone knows someone is calling you, but delays the ringing?
It's really not that big a deal..
I mean.. so it rings a few seconds later... I mean.. err.. compare that to.. NOT BEEPING AT ALL when you receive an SMS (thanks for the tweak) or an EMAIL (hoping to find a tweak)..
Yeah, it's a problem.. just not that big a problem.
you can setup notifications in the advanced section of the sounds menu.
and even if you couldnt I dont see how one flaw should excuse another?!

Mate, you SERIOUSLY think that there were tonns of people who DIDN'T think of setting up the Sounds and Notifications Menu!!
Needed a registry tweak (for the SMS) and as far as I know, some are still having a problem with the Email (auto retrieval) - notification.
More importantly, nobody is saying that the delayed ring IS NOT A FLAW..
I just said.. a few seconds delay is not THAT big a deal. It's not a matter of EXCUSE one FLAW by looking at the other. Definitely not. A problem is a problem. I was just highlighting that a few seconds delay in notification is not THAT BAD as opposed to not being notified (by a sound) AT ALL

well for me its bad, and theres plenty of other people that feel likewise..
I agree it is bad and would also like a solution.
Most people who ring me get two rings before my phone even plays the MP3 and 2 rings later the answer phone kicks in.
It would be nice if the MP3 played as soon as the LED flashed like it should..

what do you mean with " new dialer interface", the white Diamond interface that comes with the diamond ROMs or the cab file I referred to?

I mean the default dailer interface m8. I'm calling it the 'new dailer' because the tweak set you back to the old one (default WM6.1).
Sorry for confusion
Ok you guys and dolls with the slow response: what ROM are you using?
I use the 1.93 (from Walshieau) en did the test many times today with the diamond dialer active. Result: the moment the phone goes over my Diamond responds. Exactly at the same time!
I did it with the device on, device off, waited 10 minutes, all the same result: immediate answer.
Are there any guys who use 1.93 and experience the delay or am I the only lucky bastard?
BTW: I use radio 1.00.25.05
Hi:-
I am using HTC TNTY...I have S2U2 in my phone....whenever I received any call its difficult to answer the call..
Please let me know solutions for this...
Thanks,
I have the same problem. S2U2 kind of flickers when a call comes in. It doesnt do it every call, but even occasional is extremely annoying. I got past this by using S2U2's built in caller ID but if anybody has a solution then I would much rather use the windows default caller ID.
Hi!
I have got a peculiar porblem. Searched for someone with similar problem. Doesn'r seem to get one!
Whenever an incoming call is not answered in my touch viva, the volume of ringer increases automatically. If it is silent come to vibrate, if it is in vibrate then comes to Ringing mode. I cannot rely on silent mode anymore while in meetings.
I have Touch viva, Wm6.1 and few third party softwares installed but not anything related to sound or calling function related..
Please let me know if someone has already killed this bug!!
Regards and thanks!
Elmad.
i've never seen problem like this ... but anyway did ya try to see the settings of your sounds under start-settings-sounds there check the there ... or if didn't work try to flash ur rom again if u want 6.1 use the original from htc and if u want 6.5 there are alot of rom in the forum ... i use evolution as 6.5

Hi all,
I have a problem with my diamond either answering or rejecting a call without my intentional input because the screen gets touched when I remove it from either the supplied htc sleeve case or just my pocket.
Is there a way to disable the touch screen even when a call is incoming unless I unlock it in the standard way or press the actual answer button.
I don't think I can live with this phone constantly answering calls I want to ignore and rejecting calls I want to take as I get it out of my pocket to see who is calling.
I'd prefer a reg key method if possible but need something desperately.
Thanks
To combat this problem I installed this:

I have a question that I usually put my HTC One into my pocket and when I receive a income phone call, it is a big problem for me when I get out my phone from pocket, my finger in this case may tap somewhere on the screen and from that I can answer the phone call without need to tap to the green phone icon to answer. Sometimes, it suddenly automatically end the incoming phone call, I don't know where I can touch to have this action and I'm trying to test again. Anyway, this problem is not convenient for me because there is somebody I don't really want to answer or someone I need to answer but I'm facing with the automatically end incoming phone call like this. Does anyone help me? Is there anyway to fix this problem??

I find it hard to imagine how taking the phone out of a pocket would slide the Answer Call button far enough to actually answer the call. Unless your screen was never off, answering a call while it is locked requires you to slide the Answer button quite far into the middle of the screen before it's answered.
You seem to be having the same issue that someone else here had, but he fixed it somehow. I asked what he did but he never replied ):
The big problem is that i just only need to tap everywhere on the screen to answer without need to slide the green answer icon Anyone help me??????????
You can try asking the OP in this thread for the solution. He had the same problem and he somehow fixed it, but he didn't say how.
