Time running slow - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi all,
I have noticed the clock on my diamond runs slow. I dont switch the phone off but when I check the time its fallen back by about 3 mins everyday.
Any ideas on how I can rectify this?
Using .07 radio and duttys 1.6

Im having the same problem. Anyone got a solution?

really strange, never noticed before, but I'm currently using a different rom & radio

I have the same problem but it doesn't fall behind as fast, probably 3 mins in a week.
Using Stock 1.93 ROM
Would be great if someone could look into this.

same here....
I have been waiting for an answer for 2 months but no one seems to know how to solve this problem....

... and the same here ...
I have to set my clock every 5 days.
I think it is about 2 to 3 minutes a week.

mine is like 2-3 mins a day...

Same problem with mine: about 2 to 3 minutes a day delay everyday.
I'm using ROM version 1.93.831.1 WWE by the way.
I hope somebody can figure out this bug.
Thanks.

After I set Setting/Phone/Timezone to auto, my clock didn't skip any more. I don't know if it involves data usage though.
Johnny

I tried to tick that also, but it does not work for me...

No problems here on original rom.
maybe there is a serie with a bad crystal inside.
Grtzzz

after midnight..clock is slow
Hello guys....
there's something I notified a few weeks ago, and I saw this thread, so I would like to tell you this...
everytime when it's after midnight for example: 00.20 and then when I turn on the screen with the powerbutton when it's in standby the clock will not move directly to the correct time, but it wil just flip very vast untill the right time....
Does anybody else have this problem to??? I hope somebody understand what I'm trying to say....It's not very frustrating, but at least it's annoying...
thanks guys!!

I have not tried it but will do so when I have time, i.e. when I'm still awake at midnight
Anyway before I go to sleep, I always turned off my unit to conserve the battery. Still the problem persists with regards to time delay of 2 to 3 minutes everyday.

That's what I also do...but still....very strange behaviour and especially if you just want to see before you go to bed, if you havn't missed a call or a text or so..

I don't know how to replicate it, but i've had this happen even at 11am! It doesn't really bother me, though. In fact, i quite like it sometimes! Because of the way it's doing it, I really doubt this is a bug... it must be something done on purpose. Perhaps you can contact HTC about it...

I already asked NisseDILLIGAF about this, and he also doesn't know how this could happen...actually sometimes it's quite funny, although I don't really mind...I was just curious if somebody else had the same issue...lol

tytn clock
have a tytn II and the same issue with me, the clock runs slower than normal time like 2-3 minutes within 4-5 days.

I have the same problem and posted two messages. I couldn't find a solution yet

I think this might be more wide spread that we think but its not getting noticed by people who sync with PC frequently. I have found that If you use active sync it resets the time to the PC time each time you connect!
Still needs sorting though!!

having the same problem. what I didnt like is my Sony Ericsson phone got an option to get the clock from network so dont have to bother about the time. my diamond seems to lag2-3 min a day. I tried the option GPS clock sync but still it's the same.( i use gps quite often)

Hey fellas,
Any registry keys i can use to auto-disconnect from gprs/3g/medianet etc etc at a specific interval.
I keep on leaving it on for like 8 hours dragging my battery down to nill at the end of a night.

OK, I'll do it for a lazy person that can't wait.
There is a sticky at the very top of this forum you have posted in that has a WONDERFUL package called 'Kaiser Tweaks'.
Amazingly, this does just what you want (without the effort of a search!) and much more!!
OK now???
crap I didn't even think about using kaisertweaks since its built into my rom...duhh..
I'm sorry for snapping at you, been a long day

No probs pal... We all have them at some time...
sigh..doesn't work, any other ideas?
how often do use it? i mapped data connection to my comm. mgr. and mapped that to ptt (hold) and just tap that to disconnect.
it syncs up to my mailserver for work every hour and id like it boot me off after 5 minutes. ill try to change its frequency and maybe that may fix it.
pehh still nothing weird... im trying to see if its conflicting with another setting but it isn't the case
modacco NoData works fine. For the 3g, you can use that 10 comm manager thing
hmm i may try that then.

In general....
If you're going to chat in a realtime system... as in... messenger... irc... even sms's... then write as compact, and as fast as you can. The objective is to get the message there.
Yet...
If you're going to write to a more perpetual system.. one the many will read, search.. contemplate and comment... like a web forum... a mailing list... an email.. or even a small comment to a blog... then write as correctly as you can.. Many will read your post... many will use the forum search mechanism to search... and due to your childish writing methods... most usefull search items will probably not work.
Now... as to your "problem" :
What GPS problems ? The first FIX is always slow.. even with QuickGPS. Its called a Cold fix for some reason.
Hot Fixes.. the second and behond (unless you wait a very long time to turn it on) is always faster.
I've used Oficial 6.0.. oficial 6.1 and tweaked/cooked 6.1...
All worked normally with TomTom 6/7... no problem what so ever.
You have a tilt with a keyboard and not some funky dial pad. You should always type properly.. Unless you're like me and just can't. HEHE
i tried reading this, and it hurt my brain
My brain hurt too, I gave up after the first line...

Ok, First let me apologize for my SMS style grammar. Sorry, It's a Habit. Anyways the problem was that people were having trouble with GPS programs after the Windows Mobile 6.1 update, not all but some. I was looking around the forum and I wasn't the only one, so I tried some of the advised solutions, one of them being to test your GPS with GPStest and I did. After I tested all the Baud rates it worked. Also, I know what a cold fix is but i couldn't get a GPS fix AT ALL. Even if I left the programs, running after about 5 minutes Live Search would say it couldn't get a fix and GoogleMaps would give me an estimated range of where I could be and it was huge, and this happened all the time. well, after what I tried it worked and I just wanted to see if it would work with anyone else. Once again, sorry about the grammar and it's not that I'm uneducated, I'm just lazy sometimes. Sorry, won't do it again.
I could not get a proper fix using the 6.1 cooked ROMs on my Tilt prior to the official AT&T release. I would take up to 10 minutes to get cold fix, outside, under a cloudless sky. When I had 6.0 I could get a cold fix in under a minute.
Since the Official 6.1 ROM has come out for AT&T, I have been able to get a cold fix just as fast as 6.0 on all cooked ROMs based off the official 6.1 ROM and newer. My guess is that one of the reasons AT&T took so long to get it out the door was fixing the GPS problem, whatever it was. God knows not even the geniuses here on XDA could not figure it out. I tried every fix and tweak I could find but nothing could help me get a lock like I used to on 6.0. I'm not putting down the devs here. I'm just saying that whatever the problem was, it must have been something else than what was suggested here.
I like dutty's ROMS but they are based on the HTC 6.1 ROM and not the AT&T ROM. That said, it does take a while getting a GPS fix while using TomTom 6. I have tried the GPStest tweaks but that hasn't worked. Anything else i can do?
That's just the difference between a cold fix and a hot fix.
This just sounds like the difference between a cold fix and a hot fix.
The difference is mostly tied to where you were located the last time you got a fix. But with a new OS install there is likely no past location data for the GPS radio to use so it has no idea where you are and thus no idea where the sats should be in relation.
Therefore when attempting a cold fix it sometimes takes a VERY LONG time for it to get a lock, sometimes you won't be able to get a lock on a cold fix without GOING OUTSIDE under a relatively clear sky.
But once you get that first lock the GPS can calculate the relative locations of ALL the satellites (not that it will be using or receiving the signals from all of them...).
Keep in mind tho that if you are a VERY long distance away from the last place you locked in a fix (like 300 miles or more) that can delay getting a new fix even though that would be considered a hot fix. But the bottom line is that the satellite location data is not 100% accurate since you are far from your last fix location.
But I cannot stress enough that you really should just GO OUTSIDE to get your first fix after a hard reset / new ROM install. Very few GPS receivers do well indoors and I know for a fact that the one in the Kaiser doesn't.
Ever since I upgraded to the at&t 6.1 update, I can't get my Tilt to tell that it even has a GPS device everywhere that I used to use it before the update. I let it sit until it tells me that I have no device or that I have a week signal. I have been trying to use both Telenav and google maps. someone please help give me an idea what I can do to fix this.
I have changed to radio _1.70.19.09 now i get great gps. under a min cold and a few seconds on a warm start.
hey
i also have the 1.70.19.09 and my cold fix always takes at least 2-3 min under clear sky!...which is wayyy to much imho!

Whats wrong with my Diamond :(

hey guys
have been a reader more than a poster on this awesome site..
but i have run into some trouble :/
within the past week, everytime my phone gets slightly hot, the screen alignment goes totally out.. like really out..
for example i manage to open the notes app..
if i tap the extreme left side, the draw tool will draw in either the center, or even far right.. its extremely frustrating.
Happens mostly after a phone call, using gps, or plugging phone into usb/charging..
im using Panosha's 2.2 full
Radio .05
I have tried loading the original HTC rom that came with the phone... no difference..
any help would be greatly appreciated
oh, and i do re-align... 10-15 times a day..
when the phone is cool, it runs like a dream

When you have the same probs with the htc original rom, then it has nothing to do with a cooked roms :-(

if anyone may have a solution.. please let me know asap.. as i will try taking it in on saturday
thanks guys
damn, mine does the same from time to time!
does anybody have a solution?
did a replacement fix the problem?
unfortunately i havnt had a chance to take it in yet, but i have logged the problem with my service provider..
the problem occurs alot more when i used panosha's rom/s
with the default (and now alphazero) the problem seems less frequent, but definitely still happens..
happened badly yesterday when i used gps to get my girlfriend to a casting, but switched on car A/C and after 5 minutes it was cool again *shrug*
its really annoying though
will let u know when i finally get to taking it in, unless u get there first
Hi there, I have the exactly problem what you had. Whenever the machine is hot, it becomes mad. Any solution could be reslove the problem?
It really sounds like a hardware issue... When you return the phone to the store please flash back to the original stock rom (for warranty purposes )
same problem
i am getting he same alignment problem.i do it many times a day but still tapping somewhere on screen taps the other way.very difficult to dial phone numbers

i dont think its an hardware issue,as after i align it works fine for few hours and then i have to align again to make the taps work acurately.........i have heard there is a cab file for it.if any one can post it here.........................or make a cab file so that clicking it makes the alignment as it was default with the new phone
It is a hardware issue. the screen somehow (usually when carried in front pants pocket) will get pressed and SHIFTED. Then screen pushes against the side-cover and this fools the touch-sensitivity of the screen. Try yourself - try to shift screen to one or other side, and directly after it will be better. it's still a service matter though. Send it for repair.
This is a known issue. You need to exchange the unit for a new one.
hey guys...
so late last year i took the phone in and it spent 3 weeks at leaf (HTC distributer here is south africa)
i got the phone back, turned it on in the store.. and guess what... still screwed..
i threw my toys to say the least and got a brand new phone..
the new phone was 110% up until 2 weeks ago..
it started doing the same damn thing (to a lesser extent)
i have found that its a connection problem..
the touch pad is very all over the place if used normally (so basically its unusable)
but if i hold down the top left of the phone(pushing down just above the start menu) with my left hand and use my fingers on my right.. the phone works perfectly again..
does anyone know how to fix this?
its so frustrating, especially knowing im going to be without it for 3 weeks or more again
hmmm ...
i heard that the radio-part is for managing the curcuits.
try an other rom.
but i cant give garanty, i hard it only.

Problems With Diamond touch

Hi
I brought a new HTC touch diamond, i have a few problems, i am hoping that some1 will be able to advise me on how to sort this out?
1. Camera quality is very poor
2. when switching on takes abt 1 min to load
3. display goes off when making a call
4. battery last just about a day even though i dont use it much
5. the phone crashes sometimes

Compared to what? It's a mobile phone camera, it's never going to compare to a dedicated digital camera so if your expectations are too high you'll never be satisfied.

I presume you mean after a soft reset? That's normal, the Diamond isn't just a cellphone, it's effectively a computer and computer's take time to boot up, that's just the way of things. I'm not sure why this is an issue for you because you shouldn't really have to soft reset the thing as part of day-to-day usage anyway so the time it takes should be of little consequence.
member786 said:
3. display goes off when making a call
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's be design, it's so you don't end up activating any of the phone functions while you've got it pressed against your ear to listen to the call. A lot of people do moan about this but I've never really understood why, you can't see the screen when you've got it pressed against the side of your head anyway so why does it matter if the screen switches off? And even if you do need to see the screen, just hit the power button to toggle it back on again, not a big deal surely?
member786 said:

Yeah, the battery is pretty ****e. The only advice I can offer is to switch off power hungry functions you're not using like wi-fi, HSDPA, Bluetooth etc as those will all hit the battery hard.
im not affected by points 1 - 4 as they are pretty minor to me.
Crashes are what seems to be my main problem as everyday there will be at least 2 crashes where my phone ceases to switch back on from sleep mode and gives a black screen till a soft reset.
After which, I will have no reception whatsoever and further resets will cause my phone to unable to find my SIM card. However, the problem persists till I get 1/2 batt, where i will get my reception back for the rest of the day
It gets really intermittent sometimes as in sometimes in the morning or sometimes at night, but never when im at the shop trying to return it
just always at least once or twice a day no matter what.
I have already switched to a new diamond twice as I had different problems with every one, each was extremely critical.
so will flashing a cooked rom help? or a new radio?
I have everything on stock as i have to hard reset it at least once a week.
does anyone have any similar problems? or did i just win the lottery 3 times

Dude:
ALL your questions have been addressed 1000 times.
Step in XDA Devs with respect and start a search before cluttering up the site with same stuff. Search and read like we all did at one point.
Crashes: My jewel probably crashes once a month and that it, that is very understandable.
Anyhow Welcome.
someone help me out too with my diamond problem please?
anyone ?
The search button doesn't bite
Also providing some info regarding ROM and Radio would provide us with more info.

Long delay before ring

Hi all!
I have two phones - one in my car and one in my pocket. I've been noticing that a lot of people only wait for like one ring (on my diamond) before hanging up, so I figured I should compare with my car phone with a twin SIM. Now, the car phone will ring for almost 20-25 seconds before the diamond starts, and I can only have a 30 sec delay before the call goes to voice mail.
Anyone else noticed this? HTC tech support told me to do a hard reset, but since I've already done two of those in the last week I doubt that'll do much for me.
I'd appreciate any help!
Cheers

There's been various threads on this particular issue... although the delays most people experience are in the "up to 3 seconds" mark.. Apparently a 1-2 second delay is normal for windows - whereas you say the delay in yours is 20-25 seconds!
You may want to check the size of your ringtone file to see if it's too big or;
Also, have a look here to see if there's anything that might help....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=258109
(also, do a search and check out the other threads relating to this topic)
You haven't told us what ROM you're using, but if nothing else works and you're confident in following instructions, there's a sticky thread in the "....Diamond ROMs ...." section of this forum that goes through step by step on how to flash you're ROM with a nicely cooked version, courtesy of the hard-working chefs.... (just a reminder that you do this at your own risk - but it's not as scary as it seems!)
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply, and sorry about not mentioning the ROM version I'm running. It's actually a Panosha (sp?) 2.0 with one of the newer radios. I already tried the "long wav fix" but to no avail, so I'm actually thinking about flashing it back to stock to see if that fixes it :S
Cheers!
Just install the WM5 patch you can find on this forum. It solved the issue for me. No anymore delay..
