This phone is making me like...crazy!
and this is why:
I synct some playlists to the phone with windows media player 10, suddenly all playlists on my diamond are empty.
When i removed all the playlists on windows media player 10 to sync them again, it deleted all my songs!
now i got all my songs onto the device again, and wanted to alter 1 playlist, it took windows media player 6 minutes, to just alter, replace, 1 pooping playlist!\
Its not possible to remove a playlist created in the touchflo music player itself.
Not able to select it and then delete it.
Half of the icons in the games folder are ****ed up, we already have a thread with solutions(i tried all of them), but none of them worked.
And the performance, even with the tlr rom or whatever the name was, the diamond still goes slow!
And the battery depletes quickly, with auto attach off, and incoming beam off.
Cant receive a file with bluetooth, with incoming beam on or off, it keeps saying my pc is a new device and asks if i want to set a password, no matter if i set a password or not, it goes back to the menu, and still says my pc is a new device
And i used a mod of the diamond tweaks thread, to auto lock my diamond when the screen goed off.
Well, 1/5 times, it autounlocks itself when i turn the screen back on. not good...
And finally, the opera browser is sometimes not doing what i want. sometimes goes to a random place on the page, if i move and let the stylus go, it moves back to that random page, to fix this i need to quit, then restart opera.
This happens about 1/5 times i use opera.
Is this where i payed 481 euro's for...?
Any ideas how to fix this sh!t is welcome, i already did a hard reset to try getting rid of some problems.

what do you mean?
theres a whole list of bad things there.
btw: forgot to mention that the diamond stylus made some nasty scratches on the screen when wiping over the screen in opera to scroll page, or goto next photo in touchflo, ect.
Got a protector included for that.
Install a fresh rom, I don't have any of your problems.
I use bluetooth a lot:
Sending files (goes hell fast), don't want to use cable when using .cab files here
For my parrot
For use as a modem (have reached 120kbyte/second) when online with phone!
All flawless.
I have very very good results with HTC's own new rom update via e-club.
TLR nr. 2 was quite buggy at my phone.
GOod luck!

what have you got now may i ask?
Humbly returned to my previous P535.
I must admit that apart from Diamond, there is currently not many devices to choose from on the market... Was thinking about getting P750, but still unsure...
Xperia scares me, mainly because of the unusual screen resolution (dunno how all the apps will handle it) and that also is supposed to be made by HTC...
Maybe Diamond Pro will not suffer from these newborn diseases that my Diamond had - will see...
i think im going for the iphone 3g. will be expensive though...
the touch diamond really disappoints me...

Use the hardware buttons beneath the screen. You can navigate to the playlist you want to delete, and hold the 'enter' button to get the menu to get the 'right mouse button menu'.
Using your fingers it is impossible as it automatically selects the playlist if you press it. No menu will pop up.

What do you mean? It will be much cheaper than the Diamond.
I wonder if you're expecting to install applications on that phone, or do any customization...
Mwahahahahahha!!!!
Another Winer! XD
I'd give this post 5/5 for creativity, 6/5 for whining and -1 for usefullness ^^
you can almost FEEEL that you joined only after buying the phone, and I'd guess that it's your first WM one..
Anyway, regarding your problems..
If your phone really is that bad, it's probably broken (pre-production, grey, some dimwit dropped it in the shop or any other reason). In any case, return it by warranty, and get a new one..
Having so many people love this phone, and being able to fix the issues.. and only you and a handful of others run around whining.. Surely it's obvious that it's either a lack of hands.dll or a simple hardware failure..
I mean you should be smart enough to grasp it.... ermm.. right?
Cheers
P.S. Oh, and please don't be offended by this post.. It was mainly inspired by your post anyway, but it was written half-jokingly as I couldn't really answer seriously to that amount of QQ
@ 205_laCoste...
You're my hero.
Had a lot of trouble removing two playlists, but using the hardware buttons solved it right away....
Thank You!
I'm ready to throw my diamond out the window, for pretty much the same reasons. I paid way too much money to have so many problems. And I shouldn't have to flash a new rom. It should be good to go out of the box.
Before I'm also accused of being a whiner, there is a plethora of posts of people having the same problems....with no solutions. The bluetooth issue is a biggie. I tweak my phone to enhance it, but I shouldn't have to be a programmer to simply make it function properly. To suggest that is just arrogant.
There are things that I absolutely love about this phone, but simply as a phone it sucks.
most of the time it is not the fault of the phone but the person
using it.
a lot of people have come here after having a normal phone and
dont understand how to use this one.
treat it more like a computer than a phone.you dont have to be
a programer you just have to know how to read a thread and
follow the directions.
if you have a 1.37 rom you need to upgrade it to a 1.93.
1.37 is crap.okay it shouldnt have been but it was that why
it was upgraded to 1.93.
if you still dont get it then sell the phone.go buy a fruit
phone and get ripped off just like all the other sheep out there.
I have to stand up for nursie here. I've returned my diamond several months ago (yeah, it was driving me nuts) and am happily living with my P750... these offenses are absolutely not necessary and untrue as well as uncritically extolling the device - gee, it's just another PDA

I have to agree, to an extent.
It's generally accepted on here that the Diamond is badly configured out of the box, which is why new users are recommended to flash a new ROM. This is not a good thing, although it's great we have such a good community of chefs to help solve the problem.
What's less well accepted is that much of the HTC software on the Diamond is slow and awkward. I'm talking about TF3D and the HTC dialer in particular, get rid of them and you can make the Diamond a great little phone just like your P750.

I upgraded to 1.93. And I'm quite proficient at reading and researching. I'm also very proficient with current technology. I get it. What you don't get is that a consumer spending big bucks on this phone shouldn't have to resort to advanced tweaks (which I understand, BTW...you won't find me here asking newbie questions) in order to bring the phone up to basic performing standards.
Again.....yours is a fine example of ignorance masking itself as arrogance.
How do you deal with not having to use an SD card? I use it all the time with switching phones between my Viva(Opal) and Touch(Elf) both of which are... "nonoperational" anymore so I am deciding whether this phone would be the best phone for me since money is kinda an issue. Any additional comments about the phone would be welcomed but right now this is my only dilemma regarding buying the phone now
Not a big deal... In pen drive mode you can move data quickly. 4 gig is enough for navi stuffs, a couple of movies, mp3 albums and pics. For the first time I found the built in mem a stupid thing, but after 1.5 yrs of use, it is proven to be enough and never had issues with it. Very nice pda (still the most handsome), solid built with razor sharp display.
Still love my diamond. just like my trinity...
@ OP
PRO'S :
- Internal memory is 4 Gig , so like the above member said , its quite enough for all your applications.
- Its doesn't get wiped out while changing ROM
- Doesn't get stolen
- Transfers are fast , not extremely fast but , quite enough
Con's :
- No more space... if u are a heavy user you will run outta space at some point .
- some users get a problem like after HARD SPL the internal storage wont show up.
I've been using diamond for more than 6 months and still i have some 2.1 GB free space..( i dnt listen to music on my fone )
Its the best in its class..the screen is just brilliant go for it
Until it breaks
Hi, I would have agreed, except if you get a glitch you've lost the contents of the 4gb "card"
Had mine for almost 2 years, absolutely love the quality and resolution of the display. TomTom western Europe uses up way too much memory though (almost 3gb).
(I ended up clipping it in front of an aircon outlet in the car, with the back off, to try and make it last a full journey without overheating; but that's another subject)
I dropped mine towards the end of a family break, during which I'd taken all my photos with the phone, so unless I find a way to physically hack in to hardwire onto the memory chip I've lost some lovely memories.
With a removable card that wouldn't have been an issue, insurance replaces the phone and you just swap the card.
I think they did it to avoid the dry connection problems that are possible with sliding contacts.
You'll learn to love the phone, the screen makes me forget all the little personality disorders that WM6 brings along.
Cheers

Oh thats cool cause I only use a 4gb microsd and it fits everything I need. Mainly just backups and cabs for applications since I'm a heavy ROM installer
I have someone who has had this phone for a little while and returned it because the backcover was comming off too easily and did not like that at all. Any comments on the backcover?
No comments on the back cover.. even if you carry it in a pouch , its bound to go... cant do anything about it..

No problems with it. I don't swap sim cards frequently, so no need to remove the back cover. Stays just like normal. Battery lasts for 2 days (3G off), no built in memory issue for me, the only thing a I don't like is the power button. Otherwise this the perfect phone for me. I upgraded the stock 1.93 rom to stock 2.03 and the old 1.00.25 radio to 1.17 and just excellent. I got gps fix within a few seconds. Have to mention, that I use this handheld as a regular phone, for other pda purposes there is my old trinity.
cool ...
Sounds good, Thanks a lot guys! you cleared up, I think, all of my questions
, Happy flashing
Bought one, got it, and now I'm going to start my work on it, SO EXCITED. this phone really is just awesome and the backcover thing doesn't seem that bad... Thank you all again
Any help would be grateful on this one
I have just changed the heat sink on my 9300 wifi ITX motherboard GF9300-D-E.
It will not boot windows as it gets to the starting screen and stops. Then when i tried linux it will kernal panic and not boot that either.
I thought it was memory and removed one of the sticks. This is when things started to get strange. The bios screen did not fit my monitor as it should, has done previously, also there are strange flickering on this as well.
So i have tried it with both sticks in one stick [both tried]
Now I am a little stuck as to what it can be. I have also reset the bios to a default state to see if that was the problem and it was not.
There is also the issue that on some boots the bios will not fully load up.
If this is not an issue with the motherboard then i am sorry but i am a little stuck for the reason at the moment.
So anyone any ideas on this as I'm a little stuck. Any other info will be added if you think its necessary but i think its all covered.
Please help I miss my desktop, my ageing 5 yr laptop really does not cut it any more
have you tried safe mode? press f8 when windows is starting. if you get a blue screen post what the error message is.
Yeh the one time i got that far i had
Page_access_in_non_paged_area
That was also on a recovery boot of windows.
Next time nothing happened...
Also i get weird graphics glitches on the memory test from ubuntu. if that means anything to anyone

i need the stop code. it goes like this 0x000000 and so on.
Yeh i would love to post that error message but i cannot get that far until it crashes
I got to the windows system recovery hit enter, then it stopped working
Now it wont even give me a video output! Really starting to think its hardware, but what hardware i do not know. Later im gonna try some RAM from my house mates pc and see if it does any better. If that doesn't work then i think i may be RMAing the motherboard as its the only other thing it can be!
If you have any more ideas joe then i would be welcome to hear them as i would rather not go down the RMA route...
Wish id noted down that bluescreen when it came up now
sounds like your video card. is your video card onboard or add in?
on board but i can disable if i have an external one, i can try this as well house mate has a spare will get back to you when i have tried that one as well.
If it is that then def an rma job. Also i would not be surprised it has been idling at 70/80 degrees C for about 8 months due to the passive cooler i had on it.
Hey,
I had this error, and a range of other ones, stuff like Memory_Error etc (can't remember codes), on my laptop earlier this year.
I tried memtextx86, and burnin, as I suspected it was an issue with ram - I also tried 3 different sets of rams, with different combinations of sticks. Nothing worked.
Unfortunatley, I took it back to the manufacturer and it was the motherboard had gone faulty.
I hope this isn't the case for you, but those 2 programs may be worth trying. Just as a note, neither reported any issues with the ram.
When in windows (vista at the time) I could not be in for more then 20mins without a system hang and crash. Although I did have video out.
Hope this helps

If the only thing you changed before it started to play up was the heat sink, its probably the cause.
If its turning on and then playing up after a period of time for no apparent reason it could be heat.
Is the heatsink on the right way? I put my amd stock heatsink on backwards when I installed it, didn't notice for 2 months, it wasn't touching the processor at all. Funny when I look back on it.
Did you put thermal paste on it? I once thought it would be a great idea to clean all of that gunk off my cpu, not so good in hindsight.
Hope it helps,
They say you learn from your mistakes, an I've broke more computers than I can count.
stu i shall try at the weekend one more exam and im free for another year!
and mercianary yeh i did clean the paste off, i did apply paste, but going back is a good point as i think there may be slight sizing issues with the heatsink i changed it for. As for temps, not real problem i think as i want from a passive heat sink to one with a fan so it must be cooler, that was the idea anyway.
It was idling at 45-55 if it did anything that needed the whole chip, its a 3ghz core2duo it hit 65 easy and it starts to underclock at 70 so i wanted it to be cooler so i could use all the power all of the time! In hindsight a bad idea.
Also on the grounds of the stock cooler that is broken as it kinda got stuck on the motherboard when i put it on one of the clips went straight through and jammed....
anyway everyone who has replied thanks i will come back when i have done some testing.
OK I have been using my N1 for almost 2yrs now. I love it, but out of nowhere the connections on bluetooth, wifi, 3G, and occasionally cellular drop. Coincidentally it happened when 2.3.6 was released and I refused (updated since no change) the update. When I use my bluetooth headset I'm told I sound like I am underwater. I installed CM7 thinking that would solve it (maybe it's a stock ROM issue) but it was still the same. I can put my phone next to the router and still show (1bar) a poor connection .
OK so what can I do to fix this? I don't want to purchase a new phone (besides this glitch it looks mint) right now. Also I don't really have the cash for it either. Someone said the antenna may be loose (don't know how that would happen) and I could open it up and fix it.
Now you all Mod software but has anyone actually opened up an N1 and is there really a way to tighten the antenna? Please let me know if anyone else has had this issue or is there a way to test for a solution.
Thanks
A little more info
Was just on a cell call and noticed that the green cellular indicator turned white (no idea if that's related) it is back to green now and full. However this seems to be a pattern of being green 3G and Cell strength to white. Hope that provides so more info to someone trying to help me.
Green/white is an indication of connection to Google servers, nothing else.
Radio is only responsible for 3G data, bluetooth and WiFi are completely different entities and aren't related to radio. If you're experiencing bad reception - most probably your antenna contacts need cleaning or are misplaced, open the lower cover (not the battery one) and look there (this cover IS the antenna - just don't know which one).
Special tools?

OK found a teardown on youtube of the Nexus one so I understand the antenna is on the bottom. However it looks like they used a special tool to open the case on the bottom. Where would I get that? Also considering I paid for it outright (yep unsubsidized direct from Google); even if I'm out of warranty would you recommend (if this is something more complicated) I send it to HTC for repair? Someone else said the Broadcom chip may have gone bad if both the wifi and bluetooth seem to stop working or have poor reception. Not sure if that seems correct since if it went bad I would think it wouldn't work at all but before I make tool marks trying to take it apart I figured I'd ask.
I'm not sure the repair will be worth it, financially.
If you want to open the lower part of the case - you may only need a small flat screwdriver and good hands, to avoid scratching the surface.
Something else now
OK now voice dial command isn't working when I hold the bluetooth button. Maybe indeed it is the chip. I was able to take off the plastic cover but I need to get a T5 screw driver (lol for some reason smallest I have is T6) so I will get one tomorrow and see how it goes. There is one more cover to remove and put back on. Financially since I paid full price I'm not sure why it's not worth fixing? I figured HTC would charge around $100 for a repair. Which is less than going price for a new (i.e. Galaxy Nexus II) phone . Also I haven't seen any new phones with a trackball (which I love for the notifications and when I need precise movement) so I really don't want a new phone till they add something like an optical trackball or improve precision on finger location. Also I might get lucky if the credit card I purchased it on will cover a repair (they double warranties) and I still have a few months left.
Nope!

OK got the required tools and took it apart (both covers on the bottom) and then re-assembled it back, making sure I seated the vibrator motor back carefully. Turned on the wifi and still have same issue. So guess my phone is broke further than I can repair it. Thanks for your advice but unless there is software to check that chip it looks like only option is HTC.
Yes, looks like it might be damaged beyond the home repairs capability.
Financially - If I were you, instead of spending $100 on Nexus One repair, I'd sell it for parts for $70 or so, added the $100 you wanted to spend on the repair, and bought a used MT4G in good condition. You'll lose colored trackball (and get a trackpad - which, if you use Sense ROMs that this phone runs perfectly, will be absolutely useless), but gain WAY better phone, in just about every aspect you can think of. The same applies to any phone you can get for cheap from "outdated" MSM8x55 family - Desire HD/Desire Z/G2/Desire S (some of them aren't compatible with T-Mobile frequencies, put attention). I know this from first hand experience, since until recently I had 3 of them - Nexus One, MT4G, and Desire S for my wife. Guess which phone did I get rid of?
But - just in case you'll want to follow this advice and settle specifically on MT4G - make sure you read MT4G forums thoroughly before you do. There are 2 weak points for MT4G - the screen (more important) and the eMMC chip (less important, but still counts). Both can come in 2 variations, better and worse. Make sure you choose the better.
Hi all,
recently one of my Kaisers died, still got one left though. It made me wonder:
- Is your device still alive?
- Who is using it as their daily device?
Use the poll and post your story :victory:
(And tell us what rom you are running)
My SIM slot doesn't work. I actually, don't have any working device working right now... I was using Android but it just got too much corruption and I was too lazy to do the partitions again, so I just installed some WinMo ROM.
Yep mines still going strong... Love it.... is my Work phone... Have 4 spare batteries so when away for long periods it is a god send... Not the fastest phone around but damn reliable!!!! Tried Android on it but never managed to get a decent FULL hardware working version on it... so went back to just winmo...
even have a spare waiting in the wings when current one died. LOL
battery replacement needed
Amazingly, even though my touchscreen died, the rest of the phone is working. I am using keyboard-kung-fu to navigate.
My battery is about to die/explode, it has expanded so much that the rear cover literally can not be closed properly.
I ordered a replacement from a local shop, and when it arrived, it was DOA because the stock was TOO OLD!! CRAZY!
I currently use my phone as a 3G modem (connected to my LAN router via USB)
Does anyone have any suggestions on home-making a replacement battery?
I have tried:
1) wiring up the + and - lines from a 3.7v LiIon notebook cell (device won't power on, but the green LED flashes if i hold down the power button). (Size does not matter - the phone sits on a windowsill)
2) wiring up a battery from an HTC Touch HD (only 3 connectors, not 4) -- same situation as #1
3) bought a replacement battery - new old stock from HTC - and it was DOA
4) bought a replacement battery - from some other manufacturer but I don't remember the name -- same deal, DOA
Is there any way to wire up any other battery? Size doesn't matter-- anything with compatible wiring will be OK with me.
Any suggestions?
of course!
it was last time i looked about 2 months ago
now ive seen this thread i will have to check again once i get home.
it was dropped several times. had the case replaced twice - the whole phone casing i mean.
first time was just because it looked a bit tatty
second time was after i dropped it while reading the gps on my mountain bike (yeah i know, not the cleverest thing ive ever done), i was crashed on the deck and could see my bike sliding one way and the phone another on its front side must have been one of the very few times that i was on my bike without the aluminium case and safety line
it would still look like new if my wife hadnt dropped it on the pavement, only minor scratches that time...
i still remember when i used to show it to people and they were impressed with the bright touch screen,
then i would slide the case open using the mario sound and the keyboard would light up and they were really amazed
happy days eh?
I use mine like an iPod now (kinda). I go to youtube and do web browsing
I use mine almost daily, on my second network on which i have an unlimited data plan. I flashed it with scoot's cyanogenmood 7*, in order to keep it working better than with winmo .
Kaiser
I still use it weekly. Winmo 6.5. I still like the simple ability to click on a phone number in an email and go straight to the dialler without copy and paste.

Android does that.
I pulled mine out of its box in the basement after it had sat there since Aug. 16, 2010 (based upon the last text message date), and not only did it accept a charge, but it booted right up. It's sitting on my desk right now while I cycle the battery a couple of times before deciding exactly what to do with it.
Windows Mobile Rocks!!!!
I still use mine everyday for calling texting and browsing it's not superfast but it is still better than any of them fisher-price apples.
@mfsr98: how do you make an i-pod out of a windows device? Did you blend it? or did you ran over it with your truck?
