I have installed the 1.12.10 GSM on it after making backups with aWizard. I am happy to report that it does work and that it does speed up the initial connection. Before (with 1.09.11 I beleive) I could log into (enter my PIN) and would still have some time before I would connect and get signal bars. It also seemed to increase refresh rates of the bars. Now the signal is usually found before I even finish entering my PIN muchless the today screen loading.
These tests were made in my basement at my house where I typically have been getting 1-3 bars. now to test 1.13.10 and 2.8 OS to see if it works.
I will say I thought it broke at first because I couldn't get my PC to talk to it after it reloaded, then I did another soft reset and the boot screen the second time didn't list the GSM version, even though the OS did see and use GSM. I re-ran the CID unlock procedure again since I could talk to the phone again. Reset again and GSM ver was on the boot screen again.
I also swapped out the boot screen for a bmp and that worked wonderfully. my only question is if there is a way to swap out the booting screen of the OS and not just the IPL Rom.

I have just done the RUU install of 2.16.9.101 which also upgrades IPL/SPL to 2.16. It changed my radio version to 2.7.10 and my protocol version is 413.1.0.3. This ROM date is 2/6/06.
Immediate differences are the battery notification is now at the top where on Cingular's ROM it was at the bottom next to the comm switch program. That and everything is I-Mate branded. No Get Good, but instead now I have I-Mate backgammon and Skype. And instead of the Cingular Mail link now there is an I-Mate mail link.
I will update later with more.
More... OS ver 5.1.195 build 14847.2.0.0 IDK if this is different or not.
Update 11AM: I have tested more. ZPhone themes I can't seem to install... IDK why but with the original Cingular ROM I couldn't either. The original ROM had a bug that used the proxy of the modem setting on the wifi setting making wifi not work unless you went and disabled it since it is enabled by default. This new rom after installing "Cingulcustomize_No_Emails.cab" to get MediaNet back, wifi just works. Even with the Proxy set on the modem connection. My Bluetooh headset (Jabra HT800) works great. Comm Manager is real nice. Even showing you the status of SMS and GPRS/EDGE connection. I want to play with it a little more to see if I can control those two or not. Gone from teh Cingular ROM is the ability to click on the Edge status icon in the notification area and tell it to turn on Wifi. But the Turn on Flight Mode still exists under the Cell Strength bar. Signal strength is comperable to the 1.12.10 radio rom I had before the upgrade. And IDK if it is taking longer to load from a reset or not, but before the Phone radio would be up and running just as I was finishing putting in my PIN unlock. But now it is running and connected before I can even start to input it. Just observation, that extra second doesn't mean anything.
I also have the 8125, so I am curious if the Imate ROM will cause any problems after the upgrade. I am not sure I want to wait a few more months until Cingular gets around to providing their upgrade.
Some other posters with the test/beta Qtek AKU 2.0 rom reported that they had trouble with the device resetting itself and problems with Wi-Fi. Let us know if you experience any issues with this ROM.
How has EDGE speed been, any improvements over the shipped ROM? Have you tried push email?
ok, i updated my 8125 to the new rom and am having two issues atm. first, the phone signal icon and the battery icon on the today screen is cut off so i only see the edge icon. secondly, i cannot start wifi at all, no matter what i do :\ (it looks like it's thinking but doesn't actually turn on ) now i did apply the cingular extended rom to this so i dont know if that caused both issues or not. as for edge performance, i'm in an area with bad signal so i couldnt exactly test it. i'm going to be clearing storage tonight and see if that fixes both issues or not. i haven't tested push e-mail as clubimates servers AREN'T supporting direct push (ie they don't have SP2 installed or have it enabled on exchange).
Locked up
Well I am noticing that it is locking up if I let it sit for a while to where I can't bring it back up. I have disabled the lock code to see if that fixes it.
I would have a feeling that the problems you are having are because of the enhanced rom difference. it won't hurt to try it as is like I did since you are having problems with it.
were can I fine install
I look for the rom in the ftp but there is no RUU install of 2.16.9.101 can you please tell me where can I fin this rom
thank you

thank you for giving the info on where to get the link. I have been away from a pc today.
as an update: the phone seems to be stable with the new rom (I am actually using the phone now using edge and it seems faster than my old phone was which was a nokia.)
I haven't had it lock up on me since I uninstalled battery pack pro, disabled lock code, and uninstalled skype & backgammon so take your pick as to what fixed it. I will do some more expereriments to try and figure iit out.

Are you having the same issues as darkjedi who said he's having problems with WiFi and signal strength icon?
after the upgrade i cant find the GPS ICON
even i try to delete the redirect string in the registry like i used to do before
still i cant see the icon on my setting page
please anyone noticed this problem ?

i finally fixed the signal strength icon (but don't ask me how), but wifi is still borked
no more problems, lock ups or otherwise
My guess with my problems were related to Battery Pack Pro demo. Even on the original rom I couldn't get it to work right with the assignable hard keys.
Anyway, I did not modify the original EXE one bit like darkjedi said he did. He seems to be much more advanced as I don't know how to do what he did and not that familier with its registry settings yet. But I naver had any problems with Wifi nor with icon placement.
My home wifi does use WPS-PSK TKIP using a Netgear WG302. Battery life seems good, but I do get a little crackle every now and then on my end of the bluetooth handsfree. People I talk to haven't said they hear anything other than perfect clarity. I would have been told if they heard anything since part of my reason to spend the money now rather than later was my voice and signal quality on my old Nokia was getting to be bad and they wouldn't waste a second ragging me if voice and signal problems were re-appearing. But mostly the crackle is few and far between and usually when my headset is on the other side of my body or I am a few feet away from my phone.
i didn't modify the original EXE, i installed it as normal, then after the fact, copied the cingular extended ROM then installed each cab manually. i didn't get a chance to try wifi before i applied the extended rom, but i just might hard reset and try that.
i dnt see the rush to upgrade if u have a cingular 8125 since there goa offer rom upgrades for the unit. with all the bugs i rather just get a ad2 bt plugin (wish they made it) and just do that
what roms do they offer? On my past phones I have had to have major problems before they would flash a new version of the Rom (my last 2 symbian phones).

ok... the only cab I installed for Cingular was the one I mentioned earlier. I have since installed spb power plus and their weather app and I am still stable. Not one failuer and my bluetooth is actually acting better from some reason. I was working on my car today with teh phone in the car and I was about 10 feet away without any noise or other problems.

Is there any settings to configure edge? I only see GPRS in the connections section.
This version appears quite stable but's only my second day since upgrading my 8125 from the QTECH 2.8.7.102. I really like the Comm manager and the Push Email icon works great.
Thanks!
name of account
the only thing that I have notice so far is that the name of my celular company (I could see before upgrade) now i only see numbers.

On the new imate ROM I'm getting between 65 and 110 kbps on edge. Latency is still crap at about 1.5 seconds on average, but that's what it's always been for me.
Direct push is great. Assuming you have Exch SP2 installed, push works without any other changes. I'm averaging between 7 and 10 seconds for an entry to push out after it gets to Exchange. I haven't installed the device management tools yet, but I'll do that soon and let you know how well they work.
I just noticed wifi isn't working. If I enable it in comm manager, the button is ringed in green as if it's on, but the left green led does not blink and it does not detect my open, unsecured access point. I did install the cabs from my original cingular extended rom, and one of those appears realted to wifi, but not sure what it does. I'll mess around some more and see what I can do. I'm not totally heartbroken that wifi is messed up, but it does bug me that I don't know why it aint working.

7 radio ROM exist for our HIMALAYA -
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=132&func=select&id=26
My experience -
1.08 - Modem not ready sometimes for GPRS > need Off/On radio. Faster discharge battery ?
1.17 - Phone not reply (inaccessible) for incoming talk sometimes > need Off/On radio.
1.19 - Off/On radio (flight mode) is very slow or imposible.
which one is the most stable?
Im trying now 1.14.
Radio 1.19 is so far so good for me.
1.17 works good on my HIMALAYA(TOFCLOCK)~
signal problem
Now I`m using 1.18 .
With my experience with my device , this radio version is very bad . sometimes the signal strength lost / blank . Huhhh
I`m tired with my device .
Anyone can solve the signal problem ?
with change the radio version or what !!!
Thanks
I am still using radio version 1.08 and this is working fine for me,
Best Regards
Im still running 1.08 too but not stable enough. Will try others soon....
Hmm, right now I'm using 1.18 (were using all of them already).
Signal is good, and right now battery is 18% and I'm still able to talk, without any voice quality drop.
Still, can't return from airplane.
Hi,
Is it possible to turn the flight mode off from the wireless manager. I do not seems to be able to do that with radio rom 1.18. With radio 1.08 it was possible. Well I will use with radio rom 1.18 for a few days to see if it is stable.
Hi, having the same annoying bug for radio roms 1.17, 1.18 and 1.19 - after a reset (hard or soft) I see gsm network signal for some time (from 1 sec to 3-4 hours) and then it disappears, and there's no way to make the phone get operating again. I'm still trying the 1.08, and it seems not to have any strange behaviour... it does the same with WM2003, 2005 and 2006.
I really do not care about the battery, as long as I can receive calls so as for now, I'll keep the 1.08...
so.... it's not a bug. It seems you have a broken radio or some really old hardware? Don't know. It's PH10B, right?
@utak3r could you explain me more detail about PH10B concerning its capability. It must be good knowledge for us. Thank in advanced. Also if you have a way how to improve the performance, indeed not to change the PDA with the new one
I contacted SosTekIt, which released an Italian rom based on WM2005, and he was of the same opinion; but, in WM2005 I'm still trying with the same SIM card, I have no issues at all.
Yes, the board is PH10B, and the strangest part ever is that in WM2006 if I can make a call in the few seconds I see the signal, then the phone is fully functional, even for HOURS. But when I roam out of the gsm cell, the signal disappear.
Truly, this is freaking me out
Well, I can believe you...
This is really strange, and as for now I can find no explanation for such a behaviour. Will try to think about it, but... oh well.
Some more details...
1. Same strange behaviour in WM2005 (buzz rom)
2. The "Preferred Networks" (Settings -> Phone -> Network -> Set Networks) list shows that my mobile operator is always the last, unchecked. I modify the list, update the settings, and they keep existing until I get out of GSM cell.
3. When awakening, if the phone shows the G icon of GPRS, then it locks to the signal and never looses.
I am about to buy a Rogers Diamond. Having owned 2 different Windows Mobile phones from them, I know they probably managed to limit the heck out of their Diamond so I was wondering if anyone that has a Rogers Diamond could tell me (us?) if they decided to limit software installation, GPS, internet etc etc.
If so, is there a fix?
If there's no english one I'll get the french one. Any flashing to standard english ROM possible right now?
Thanks in advance, can't wait!
-Nick
PS: Gecko is coming soon, hopefully before Christmas!
well i got mine today, few board members got it as welll before me.
I haven't played too much with the phone yet, but up to now they dont seem like they played too much with it...
if you want to know:
ROM Version: 1.93.631.8 WWE
Radio Version: 1.00.25.06
ram: 192mb
flash size: 256mb
you can flash to anything you want as long as you HARD-SPL your phone, causing it to SuperCID.
You don't really have to worry about backing up your rom because you can find it here, a board member already got it for us to play around with.

Rogers Diamond
I got my Rogers branded HTC Diamond yesterday and so far it'll let me install any apps I want. Internet works through wifi and 3G. I can't find a way to turn off 3G connection. GPS works but acquiring sat lock takes like 5mins compared to my old EU/Asia Diamond which locks to sat in 30sec.
ROGERS 3G
Just want to share this. But I'm pretty sure this has been tackled in the forums already.
Rogers branded HTC Diamond doesn't have the option to turn of 3G through band selection. I found this registry hack to enable band selection and now I can turn 3G off.
Rogers default registry - OFF
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:0
Registry tweak to enable band changes
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:1
Now you can go to >start>settings>phone>band tab and change band settings to your choice. I switched mine to just use GSM instead of auto which always connects on 3G.

I'm having issue with gps sat lock taking so long and I suspect this radio version is the culprit. I might unlock and flash the radio on my phone. I've been reading this forum religiously for past 6 days now trying to understand how to unlock and flash my phone. The more I read the more I get confused.
I have the same radio but am not having any problem acquiring satellite lock. By the way, this radio is already posted in the radio thread at the top of the Rom Development forum.. so I don't know why someone said it was not seen before.
I hope someone can find or make a backup for the first splash screen (Rogers red, VGA). We have backups for the OS, SPL, and radio so far.
Hi, why do you want to disable 3G? I thought it was a benefit?

I know. It's just that sometimes I would select something which needs internet connection (ex; quickgps) accidentally and it will try to connect through 3G. My friend got billed by Rogers a hefty $3000++ for internet connection which he never used because he thinks he accidentally run internet in his phone and unknowingly left it. I like the option of enabling 3G only when I need it. Plus I read from this forum that 3G connection is one of the battery killers of Diamond.

I'm using iGO8 and on my now sold EU/Asia Diamond it worked pretty well. Now with the Rogers branded HTC Diamond it takes like somewhere from 3-5 mins to lock to a sat. It sees the satellites but just wouldn't lock to them. My old diam got 1.00.25.05 radio in it and I'm thinking of flashing my phone with the same radio but keeping the Rogers ROM since there not that bad and as quick and stable as some cooked ROMs out there.

$3000?? But I thought they max out the data plan at $100 if you go over. I'm on my first month so I haven't seen my first bill yet, but apparently I have used up a lot of voice call minutes even though I hardly used the phone to call!!! I leave my data on all the time so that I can check email every half hour.

I don't know. He doesn't have any data plan with rogers just voice so I guess he is like pay as you go for 3G.
And just like me with my old iPAQ PDA phone I get billed for data usage every now and then for something I've never used. The most I got was 40 bucks. Didn't bother complaining since my time getting on hold by customer service is worth more than $40.

Hi, I am about to buy the rogers diamond. Since GPS is my must have function in a smart phone, could you tell me what gps application is used in your diamond?
Do you know if iguidance 3.0 works in rogers diamond?
Thanks
FYI
I am using Tomtom 7.91 on Diamond, it has about 2-3 seconds lag, very annoying
I'm using iGO8. So far great that is if it locks to a sat signal. Nothing wrong with iGo8 but I think it the radio version that came with Rogers branded diam.
hpod06: when you say 2-3 sec lag, do mean that your position on the gps is 2-3 sec late from actual. If so then same here. And same with my other iPAQ gps phone. So I think it's not the gps apps thats causing this delay but the gps chip used by phone. Well the lag doesn't really bother me since gps apps announces your next maneuver before hand. Just need to get use to it.

I'm using Radio 1.00.25.08 on Roger's in Toronto...been quite happy with it's performance.
ROM v: 1.93.831.1 WWE
HTC Touch Diamond P3700
Avoid rogers diamond!
I had to exchange rogers diamond to iphone even though I am always not a apple fan.
For whatever reason, the performance of rogers diamond is unacceptable. i.e. Multiple applications running concurrently would just hang the system. It's like a single thread system
I called the customer service, and the customer service manager didn't explicitly deny the problem when i pointed out, which imply this could be a common issue to the rogers diamond. As I have been reading all the diamond review, bad performance seems a always an issue. Some said, it's being significantly improved after upgrading to the new firmware, but at least this is not the case on rogers diamond. Regardless the underlying reason, i highly doubt rogers did a real integration test on diamond!!
Hi everybody
NEED HELP !
is more than 1 year I'm using happily my Kaiser with Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19209 - Radio: NIKI - 1.58.16.27
As from several days cannot switch it on anymore cos it will reach the first screen saying "smart mobility" then...darkness > OFF
I guess is not a problem of battery or power anyway, as if i switch on by pressing power button+camera it goes on 3color display and anyway can connect to PC by USB.
It can stay in this status as long as it has power, but in normal POWER ON condition, it goes off immediately.
Lots of data inside stops me to update ROM or any other action without knowledge.
Anybody had similar problem ?
Cannot find any Thread abt this in here, if somebody had seen something similar in previous Thread or any same experiences, please help me !!
Thanks

HELP !
Nobody have suggestion ?
Btw I've found back the Radio I've loaded last year and i tried to re-load again, i did only the Radio cos of want to try the communication with PC and do not want to waste data (if still have some) in my KAISER.
Seems re-loading works fine and PDA keep on without problems during the whole process, but still CANNOT KEEP IT ON after "smart mobility" !!! [email protected]*&!&[email protected])&^!)^$!
Anyone give me hint ?
Reaches HOME but stands few sec
After trying several times, and after leving my KAISER have "rest" for few hours, it happens that seldom it switches ON reaching the "HOME" screen, but as usual after that it goes OFF itself and no way to power it on again till the same point.
Anyone has posted/read some thread for similar problems, please tell me, i really do not want to reflash it as it can be easily power on with 3 color display.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I have a similar sounding issue-I have found that it works if I do this:
1 Open SIM door
2 Power On (with door open)
3 When Kaiser vibrates and 'smart mobility appears-close SIM door.
4 It than starts and works as normal
Good Luck

Then i switch on my Kaiser again with door open and close after "Smart mobility", reached the full working of the mobile as Phone was (switched on before), but if i disable PHONE from COMM. MANAGER, it gives out "SIM door open..switch off in 10 sec...> OFF (even if dorr is of course close)
I changed SIM with another one, nothing change.
Everytime i change PHONE status in COMM MANAGER from ON to OFF or opposite, mobile shut down !
Something i have to do, of course in different situation, especially when i take flights...but beside this it gonna be really annoying do the "door procedure everytime my mobile goes off for battery reason or something else.
What else can do to solve definitvely the problem ?
It is an hardware (door detector or something similar) problem or a software one ?
Thanks

Hi,
I have a similar sounding issue-I have found that it works if I do this:
1 Open SIM door
2 Power On (with door open)
3 When Kaiser vibrates and 'smart mobility appears-close SIM door.
4 It than starts and works as normal
Good Luck

Why don't you gusys try one of the folowing:
1)- Flash another Radio- Go to Wiki and download a Radio (Might wanna try different radios and find one that works for you).
2) Flash another Stock ROM - Careful here though cause you need HSPL first. Go to the ROMs development forum and Read first on Flashing ROMs) -
Hope this helps!

i'm just wondering how can be my Kaiser stable with those settings i had till now (more than 1 year) and suddenly works in that way.
Change ROM is a bit trouble if not much time to dedicate to search for the good "chemistry" , with the right ROM and working well Radio, as till now i never had problems running most of the application i use to, from WIFI to GPS, OFFICE MOBILE, DVIX...only few issues a bit annoying :
- wake up call will not switch on Kaiser if set it and Switch off (that's why i'm mad of SIM door stuff, cos at night i just switch off PHONE in COMM MANAGER.
- after using Media Player or Dvix player (but not HTC player) cannot hear anymore if make/got phone calls
- Comm Manager display, shows up everytime i close an SMS session
I would like to solve those and hint abt those are really appreciable , but beside these, no troubles.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You have exactly the same fault as me.
The SIM door switch is faulty...it has nothing to do with radios or roms,just (in my case) an unrequested swimming session! I'm just glad I was able to fix the rest-alternatively you may have dirt in the SIM door microswitch,try cleaning it (in my opinion next to impossible to do properly) or like me you have to live with the problem.
My kaiser also turns off whenever I toggle the 'phone,but always restarts Ok following the procedure with the chosen on/off setting.
Overnight I suggest you just mute the phone using the the audio volume icon so I doesn't ring etc,but flying I'm afraid you're stuck with it.
I think I only need to do this about once every month when I do a system backup the rest of the time my kaiser stays on and is charged evey evening.I'm flying next month but can cope with doing this trick a couple of extra times
Glad to have been of help

Alright have you tried a simple Hard reset (You'll lose your programs though hope you have backed up your CAB files) maybe you'll sort out your problems.

Hi everyone
my first post, I have a problem with my Diamond on Orange.
My data connection seems to lock out if I have been in an area of low coverage this results in not being able to connect to my Gmail account using the email function of the phone.
I have downloaded and installed the wm 6.1 patch for fixing corrupt email account. The workaround now though is when it still locks me out of using my data connection I have to reboot the phone.
I have also installed the official new rom from the Orange site, can't access the HTC site ROMs as my device serial code is linked to Orange
It's very frustrating having to reboot your phone 6 times a day (my office is in a low coverage area)
also since last week the phone makes no sound for SMS, MMS, calendar reminders etc. I have checked the sounds associated with these events and they play ok when you click to test them but not when an SMS etc arrives
please help, I'm locked in to this phone till next Aug
Thanks in advance
Steve
Try this...
Rather than rebooting your device, have you tried going to the settings tab on TF3D, selecting communications and tap the 'Data Connection' setting? I'm not sure about the stock Orange ROM, it may not have the option to switch the data connection on and off. If it hasn't, try turning Airplane mode on then off again. Your connection should then be re-established.
As for your sound issue... make sure you have the check box selected for 'Events'. Go to Settings / Personal / Sounds & Notifications and check the top most box
Thanks for the info Graham.
I can confirm that the box 'Events (warnings, system events)' is checked but still no sounds on sms, calendar event etc
not sure where I find the settings tab on TF3D but can try the airplane mode tomorrow at work were I have the low coverage issue.
Thanks for taking the time to give the advice.
Is there a new rom out there I could install as a permanent fix for the data issue?
Thanks
Steve
Mmmm...
Not sure whether a ROM change will cure your problems. It may just be related to your carrier (Orange). I've tried numerous ROM's and radios, but never had an issue with the data. You could try flashing a different radio. Do you know what version your device is running now?
If you look here, you'll find all the various radios available. I'd definitely start with a radio change before flashing ROM's if you're happy with your Orange ROM that is
Hi
The Radio is 1.00.25.05, (ROM is 1.93.405.1 WWE)
are these any good ones or should I update to a new Radio
Thanks again
Steve
Mmmm...
That's what I thought... both the ROM and Radio version are very old (by XDA standards!). I would certainly upgrade your radio, if not the ROM as well. Make sure you upgrade the HardSPL first though or you'll end up with a nice paper weight!
Follow this tutorial to the letter and you'll be fine. That's all I did. Most of the custom ROM's here don't include a Radio, so you'll need to upgrade that seperately. It's all in the guide. If you've already upgraded the SPL, you can go ahead and flash a ROM / Radio.
The ROM I'm using is Gen.Y D2 R4.2 which you'll find in the ROM section along with a host of others. In my opinion, it's the best by far
Thanks Graham will read all the info and give it a go
Steve
Hi
Managed to get radio 1.13.25.24 on but can't find a live link for ROM Y D2 R4.2
any chance you could post one for me
Many thanks for all the help up to now, I'm realy looking forward to my Diamond working like it should
Thanks
Steve
Link...
Hi. The download links are halfway down Post #2 of the ROM thread... CLICK HERE
Hi
Thanks for all your help. I am now running on radio 1.13.25.24 and ROM Y D2 R4.2
Early days but there is defiantly some improvement in data connection/reception but I am still getting the issue where the data connection corrupts and won't connect even when full network coverage is restored.
Thanks for the workaround suggestion re turning airplane mode on then off this does work and negates having to re-boot.
Is there any way I can overcome the basic issue re the data connection corrupting in low coverage areas?
Is a radio available that will up the coverage even more, battery life is not important to me?
Thanks again
Steve
Tip...
Another way, which may be quicker. On the settings tab in TF3D, tap connections and you should have a 'Data Connection' option. If you switch this off to disconnect your GSM data connection, the next time your device needs to connect it will re-establish the connection. This doesn't help with your issue, but it is quicker than turning Airplane mode on and off.
It might be worth posting in the Radio thread to see if anyone has experienced this on Orange and found a workaround. Like I said, I've not experienced data issues like this, so I can't really help. You've changed your ROM and your Radio, so it seems it's not ROM or Radio specific... it does seem to point to carrier??
Hi Graham
I’ve spent some time getting used to the new ROM, it seems to be a big improvement over the standard Orange one and I do occasionally get a data connection in my office which is unusual. I think what I really need is some sort of signal booster stuck to the window.
One thing I notice with the new ROM is a lack of a calculator; can I add this on in some way?
Thanks
Steve
