I just recently upgraded to the wing. So far...........it's had it's ups and downs with me. As with any phone, there are somethings I like, and other's I don't.
I wanted to ask a few of you a couple of questions. Before asking, I know others have asked some of these questions on here already, but I wanted to ask them from a n00b's pov. I haven't modded squat with this phone yet and don't really know much about it to be honest. I did successfully mod the living daylights outta my V3r, so.........I know how to follow directions lol. But as far as being directed to a website to download.............won't exactly work lol. Anywho, here are my questions:
1) How do I increase program memory?
2) I had a video file on my phone that played smoothly. I had some issues with the wing (long story), but long story short, I had to do a hard reset. I've only had it like 5 days (TMo 3rd level tech support told me to reset). Ever since that reset (and having to reput that exact same video with no changes made), the video now plays choppy on the phone. Any idea why?
3) Are there any programs that I can remove without damaging any of the system files?
4) For the life of me, I never have understood why phones come prestocked with those goffy photos, gifs, and other garbage. Is there a way to remove these?
5) Is there a way to increase the size of contact pictures when they call?
6) I was also reading that there's supposed to be some kind of "update". What will it do and does anyone know when it's coming out?
I appologize for asking some questions that have already been asked, but I really need someone to walk me through "step by step", especially considering how much this phone costs. I DEFINITLY don't wanna mess it up. If someone, ANYONE, can help, I'd be greatly appreciative.
Oh yeah, one more question. Any tips and/or tricks that the phone does that the manual doesn't tell you?

1.) At the moment keep it clean, there was a thread on here a while ago where someone (moneytoo?) was tweeking his to run better but I dont remember what the last update was. Keep the memory clean and you can run things until we get more updates or a cooked fix.
2.)Not sure what would cause the vid file to be choppy unless you are running too many things at the same time, whats the specs on the vid, and what player are you using to watch it? If its the built in WMP then thats most likely your issue.
3.)Yeah, depends on what you want to remove?
4.)Yes, open the pictures & Videos, right soft key number 4 delete.
5.)Not that I know of, but I would bet you can go into the phones system files and pull the incoming c all display file and tweek it to be larger. Mine is something around half screen by default I think, never paid attention to it really...
6.)I heard that it was late March to April(most likely late April) but that could change.
Theres a lot that the manual does not tell you, you can go into the regestry to change your start menu look, you can open the home page XML file and redesign it for your personal tasts(IE on the nice HTC home screen you can have a start menu and other stuff) Just depends on what type of things you want to do with it.
This is my first smartphone and I am still learning, there are a lot more inteligent people on here than I and I am sure they will chime in with their tweaks and stuff, or correct my mistakes if I had some. I was pretty wary at first since it was such a different platform to me, but after about a month I got to know it and since I know computers so well did not mind playing in the registry and so forth. Just back up your ROM before you tweek in case you do toast something.
Enjoy the phone and welcome

Thanks for your answers, they're greatly appreciated.
2) It's the built in wmp. How do I remove it and what do I replace it with? Furthermore, what do I need to install new software?
3)I'd like to remove stuff I don't use. I'm talking about where you go to remove programs. I've got Microsoft Live Search, T-Mobile Email Wizard 1.0 (don't even use my phone for emails), OZ communications OZ IM (not sure what that is), and Winwap Technologies Oy t-zones (not sure what that is or does either).
4) All those pics are saying that they're .sys files, and I don't wanna mess up the phone by deleting them (will it?).
New question, how do I back up my ROM?

No problem
I never removed my built in WMP just in case and its taking up no space, but I use two players at the moment, TCMP (I think I have an older version since it wont support quad pixel mpeg4 for some reason, but its the only version I can find) and Core Player. Both will play just about everything out there. TCMP works best (that I have found) on our phones because you can tell it to play at medium quality a full size file so you dont have to convert your media (most of the time) and it wont lag. Core Player was good, but seems to lag every now and then (most likely from the lack of proper video codec on the s730) but since it will play FLAC audio I kept it installed.
You can do it from the phone itself, go into your start menu, settings, more, top option remove programs, this usually will just be for what you have installed. Optionally you can connect it to your computer and explore through active sync and remove the data, icons and folders for what you dont want. I personally am not sure how one goes in and removes the preinstalled software for sure.
The pictures with a .sys sound like they are for icons, your menu's and other images that you might want to keep. The junk pictures that are pre loaded should be in .jpg, .bmp, doubt it but .png extensions.
I have not backed mine up yet but theres a tutorial in what you need and what you need to do stickied at the top of this forum, flash sspl and hardspl, I dont remember for certain but I think somewhere in there is the way to back up your settings, dont quote me on that though...
When i go to the music tab in tf3d it displays all my songs. Is there a way to make it display my albums instead ? I have alot of songs and would rather pick an album than a song ?

Theres is not a button called more. only libiary and menu. I know i can select albums in liliary and acces it from there, but I want it to show the albums in tf3d music screen
just bumping this as its the same for me, and those menu's stated above don't exist on my TF3D music tab.

i also have that problem? I can only get it to show the songs being played now. and not all albums..
This is a known limitation of the player itself. HTC messed up basically. The music player DOES NOT let you view and select your albums "cover flow style" unfortunately..
Perhaps HTC will fix this in a future ROM??

Don't get me wrong but I think you are the one that was too lazy to read this thread carefully, this is not about album art not being shown, it's about the issue that the MUSIC TAB doesn't show the albums but the actual playlist only.So like "jms_uk" said, it does not let you view your albums "cover flow style"...
None of the topics you posted did even help a bit...
EDIT:
let me post some links too.

hehe, you already posted your comment in that one too huh? ^^

You maybe ????
I posted about this in another thread, but I guess I have a better chance of finding others with the same problem if I create a new one.
When I play mp3's on my Diamond, every 3-4 minutes, the audio halts very briefly before continuing. This is annoying the crap out of me. I've tried:
1) A variety of sw players: WMP, GSPlayer, TCPMP, PocketMusic, same problem.
2) Upping buffer settings and similar on all these players to max, no luck (even buffering the entire song before playback didn't do anything)
3) Flashing my ROM from 1.37 to 1.93 (official), same behaviour. Norwegian ROM btw.
4) Switching my Diamond to flight mode in case WiFi/Edge/3G connections were messing up.
5) Closing all other applications (of course)
It's absolutely driving me up the walls. I'm not using audiobooster. Any suggestions?
congratulations you are the 1,000,000th person to start a thread on this topic.... SEARCH PLEASE!
Got the same Problem. Don't know either why this happens...
I'm using the 0.94 ROM from bElite.
But other than you it's not driving me nuts. I can live with it. Would be nice if it was gone though.

I actually did before creating a thread, I couldn't find any relevant info :/
So I'm sorry, but could you please direct me to any of those threads you speak of?
HI,
Like the man said it is in lots of posts but it can get difficult finding an exact thread in such a busy forum - most threads are mixed subject and noobs can't often find the right terms (lag, in this case).
Music stutters about every 5 minutes for most users on ALL roms.
Some have pointed out how suspiciosuly regular this is...
Some users only report it after playing a few songs.
HTC have yet to admit the fault so a fix may be some way off but nothing most have done has resolved it - it happens even with TF3D off.
I bought the phone primarily as a music player...
BUt thsi forum or HTC have gradually addressed most issues and it will be fixed some time...
yes, i'll kindly go out of my way to find all the threads for you, here are 3 which took me 2 seconds...

well i clicked, SEARCH, typed MUSIC, then selected DIAMOND from the list of forums.
How 'noob' do you have to be to not be able work that one out? no tech terminology and no complexity of any type!
Thanks. I'd never have thought of using the term "lag" about skipping audio.
Hey fellow forum users,
I recently (read: last tuesday afternoon) got my Diamond. And I am kind of lost.
First of all, my internet doesn't work. Tuesday begin of the evening it did work. But at the end of the evening and today it hasn't worked at all. @ the dutch vodafone site there are specific things you need to fill in which I did. However it still doesn't work. So I will be giving them a call first thing tomorow.
Second of all, my music. When I plug in my Touch Diamond on the computer, I see this map "content" I click on it and I see "music" so I put an album in there, but there is no music on the phone. Does it have to be converted? because I didnt find a converter on any of the cd's I was given. The same thing with my video. I put a movie on it for testing, but can't find that anywhere on my phone either.
Further I have some requests,
- I am looking for a transparant clock (the white part transparant) so you'll see the wallpaper better.
- I am looking for a way to change the bottom bar.
- I am looking for the best way to use my gps receiver (like a program or something).
- A way to simplify my contacts, I find it very annoying to have all this info. I just want to keep their names with e-mail, mobile phone numer and home number.
- A thing like that weather tab, only then with the time. Don't know if it's out but I find that a really funny feature on the iPods. Perhaps with those huge analog clocks showing the time of 6 countries in the world
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
p.s. I'll be using this topic if allowed for some further questions and am looking forward to any advice given.
p.p.s general advice on what to do with it for easier and better use of the device is very very much welcome.
p.p.p.s I have these programs on my phone aswell, as a .rar file still though if that matters (he said not), someone adviced me to put them on:
- Mortonscript
- Diamond TF3D Config Setup
- Automatic Wallpaper changer (no use for this yet but I really liked the background he was talking about that changed to the time it was, so like a sun during the day and a moon during the night).
I am completly lost at the moment. Gonna study the books that were packed with it I guess. Any help is appreciated.
1000 times thanks for anyone who can help.
(and hope this is allowed)
anyone that can help?

Hi Dennis,
I'll try to help where I can. The internet issue you will probably have to sort out with your provider. If it was working and now it isn't it the only thing I can think of is you made some change to the network config. They should be able to get it working again.
As for Music I found the best way to transfer music to the Diamond is through active sync. Plug your phone in to your PC, when prompted on the phone select active sync, then on the PC open up Windows Media player and select sync. Then just drag and drop the music you want on your phone to the sync panel and then click sync. All the music you selected will be transferred to your phone and the album art and everything if it is available will be displayed on the phone.
For the transaprent flip clock and lots more tf3d mods, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436867
For the bottom bar you have to be more specific, do you want to change the softkeys??
I find the best GPS software is either google maps or microsoft live search, both are free, google them!
For contacts there are many solutions out there, you will have to look on your own, sorry!
I've seen world clock application but most of them are home plugins, again you will have to look around on your own..
As for the rest, you will have to spend some time reading and searching. I don't advise reading the book that came with it as it contains very little useful info.
hit me back if you have anymore questions!!! oh and welcome to the community!!!
With changing the bottombar I mean putting like perhaps the gps on the spot of the photo / video etc.
Thanks btw
Sorry Dennis, as far as i know there is currently no method for changing the tf3d tabs. You can add some but really they already exist just not displayed. You can try SSmapa to replace some of the default functions.
Hiya everyone!
I'm new here, but I have to thank you for your help already; while I was having trouble setting up Kies, I found this forum and the advice here helped me through. I really needed the help, because I'm completely new to this sort of thing - my last phone was, what, seven years old? So this technology is kinda new to me.
However, there is now another issue bugging me:
I'm rather fond of reading manga, and with my new phone I can do it anywhere, without having to drag entire volumes with me (I'm a quick reader). However, problems do arise!
First of all, the Gallery function seems inclined to organise pictures based on date rather than name. Seeing as mangas aren't always edited in the correct order, this invariably means that some chapters or pictures will get jumbled up, arrive in the wrong place etc (like Chapter 49 coming before Chapter 48 or the second half of Chapter 70 coming before the first half). The files are sorted correctly in their folder under "My Files", but not in the gallery. Any ideas?
Secondly, it gets rather tiresome to have to tap the screen constantly, so I'd like to be able to view it as a slideshow. The problem, however, is that the slideshow function moves far too quick; is there any way to make the slideshow wait longer between each picture?
I have already searched the forums for help, and found some threads, but no answers, sadly. Also, seeing as I'm a complete beginner, I'm yet to download any Apps - are there any Apps that would fix this?
Thank you in advance!
try out acv, android comic viewer. It works quite well for me, I've been reading berserk on it. Also you can try manga browser. It will essentially stream manga from manga sites for you. Hope this helps!
Hmm, I downloaded ACV, and it does indeed work much better than the Galleries - it keeps everything in the right order.
However, am I just going mad or is there no auto-play feature? Although, under Settings --> ACV format, there is an option called "Autoplay", it doesn't actually seem to do anything... so is there any possibility for it autoplaying (preferably with about 10-12 seconds per picture?)
I ask because I am currently having some muscle issues with my arms, and after clicking the same "Next"-buttons a couple of hundred times they really start to hurt.
