where can i found the driver for the htc
pls help me !!!!!!!
You just need to install ActiveSync, or if you run Vista it uses Mobile Device Centre which is already installed.
If that doesn't work maybe you bought a fake!
i have win xp
i dont think its fake,mayby someone open the paket on post office,because the carton its was open.someone steel the cd,i think
you do not get a driver for your diamond. it is not in the package. you do not need a driver for your diamond.
install activesync, or mobile device center. everything should work.
do you get a connection message on your diamond when you connect?
(choose activesync or disk)
"the phone has no inbuild mobile 6.1"
it IS a fake!
look here --> i bet this is your diamond (look at the features and pics)
no win mobile6.1=no active sync!
cant you use the "disk" option?
yes ,it says :choice the folow:
mass storage
webcam
com port
i have win xp with active sync
use "mass storage" , xp should recognize it as a drive in the explorer and you are okay!

on a real htc diamond there is win mobile 6.1 integrated when you buy it. you cant install it additional on genuine devices and u cant do this on fakes!

can i load win mobile 6.1 or what?
or i have to throw it away?
i feel like an idiot now.
what can i do with it?i any chanse to uppload win mobile?
My advice to you is:
Take some pictures of the phone and make sure you have the current phone operating system in the pictures.
That way people on this forum can help you out.
I can see why, looking at the price you paid, the phone appears to be genuine, but as the guys have said on here, its looking like you possibly have a fake.
Posting screen shots of the phone and we can then help you out.
The Diamond can be flashed, but if your phone isnt an original diamond, then I would take it back to where you purchased it and see what they can do.
Good luck
Does it have dual sim slots?
Only the fake J6 has dual sim.

HTC should do something about this. This company copying the phone is one thing but using HTC and putting images of the Diamond on the box can't be legal?
Sounds like you have a fake mate. Send it back and demand a refund - especially at the price you have paid.
Good luck.

Hi I'm new to any kind of pocket PC's and to this board. I have some questions that are probably extremely naive but where else to learn eh? I browsed every thread and couldn't find answers at my level.
I purchased an XdaIIi from ebay. Oddly it seems we can't buy phone/PC's like these here in NA.
How do I check those versions/numbers I keep seeing quoted. Stuff like ROM Version, Radio Version, Protocol, ExtROM? Where are those numbers and what is their significance?
What is O2 active? What is GPRS? Is that relevant to me living in Canada?
What is active sync?
I've heard 'tomtom' mentioned a number of times, what is that?
Can somebody link me to some retail stores selling the XdaIIi? I'm curious to see what they go for new.
Is there any way to stop the internet connect bubble from popping up every time I come within range of somebody's LAN?
I'm also a medical student (reason for buying) - any suggestions on where to find medical freeware?
Sorry for the crappy knowledge, just trying to learn what I can.
As a follow up question - my phone didn't come with a manual or any software. How do I connect it to my PC - the auto-recognize doesn't do it. I'm assuming a person can browse the pocketPC from their PC? Does a person typically download pocket PC software with the PC and send over to the pocket PC, or is it easier to download upgrades/accessories/plug-in/whatever directly to your pocket PC.
Again sorry for the no-knowledge questions. Hope somebody can steer me the right direction.

Goto Start->Settings->System->Device Information It's all displayed in there.
The ROM Version, is the version of Windows Mobile Rom you have, I think! Mine's 1.11.00 WWE - which as far as I can tell is the latest World Wide English version.
Radio version is the actual cell phone radio version - 1.04 being the latest.
Protocol I have no idea (anyone else help me out here?!)
ExtRom is the software that gets loaded up extra to Windows Mobile usually in the case of XDA IIi users, O2 Active, which is a really crap bit of software for accessing the internet and stuff on your phone easier, but in actual fact does nothing other than slow the IIi down and make it crash! (well maybe I over exaggerate a little, but it is annoying!) There are some other bits of software that get put on in the O2 ExtRom that are of some use, so I generally let it all go on and manually remove the O2 Active bit!

GPRS is General Packet Radio Service - in layman's terms, Broadband Internet for cell phones! It will probably be relevant to you if you can find the settings for your Network Provider in Canada.

The software that comes with the IIi for connecting it to you desktop PC for synchronising with Outlook and to enable installing of new programs.
Download it here if you haven't got it already. The phone won't be recognised by your PC properly without it! http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync41.mspx

No you also need the PC software at that link for the two to talk to each other.
I downloaded the active sync software but it's still won't sync. Any suggestions?
did it ask you to set up a partnership when you put the XDA in the cradle??
BTW, Rogers AT&T GPRS settings are at http://www.dslreports.com/faq/7428 obviously I can't tell you if they work or not!
Nope it didn't ask to set up a partnership.
It has the standard thing when you plug USB - 'windows has detected new hardware - pocketPC smarphone'. The hardware wizard then fails to install anything because it can't find software.
In the microsoft activesync folder on my PC there is a single dll file. Is there supposed to be more?
There should be a lot more than just a single dll :? Try re-installing Activesync
Hmm ya now it works. The GPRS isn't working but that makes sense since that kind of things would be something I'd probably have to pay for as an extra. Thanks for the help.
On vista it doesnt see my device at all. I picked activesync on the diamond's screen when i plugged in the USB. But vista doesnt see the device, and i can't sync.
Any ideas?
Hmmm that doesnt sound good....i use vista ultimate on my laptop at home and have all my contacts on my M$ 2007 outlook program. If it cant synch with the contacts on outlook then its no good to me...unless theres a way around it??.

This has been my problem on every flash that I have done on my xv6800. Just remove the checkmark and your vista machine should see your titan.
I also use Vista Ult with the Diamond and it works 100% perfectly! I actually even see a photo of the diamon in the Windows Mobile Device Center.. rather than the default pic, when I hook up my HTC P3600.
Also, I noticed that syn'ing with the diamond with Vista is 10 faster than with my HTCP3600. Both via active sych or via media player 11! Huge plus for the diamond!

I have had the same issue with Vista business. I installed 2 updates (or programs) from one of the 2 CDs that came with my Diamond and Vista recognized the Diamond immediately with an actual picture of the Diamond instead of the default picture.
It seems it intermitantly can't see the diamond.
I unchecked advanced network and its fine again.

I had exactly the same problem. It connects to PC if you put the cable on and off for about 10 times....
I think diamond needs to "heat up" before computer recognice it Not very convenient...
I used to connect my diamond with PC normally. But just suddently it doesn't work now.
Mine did not connect untill I put the CD into my laptop that came with my Diamond. Sounds silly but have you done that?

Try both the Windows Vista and Windows 7 versions of WMDC. For some people, only the Vista build works...
Windows 7
Slightly off-topic, but is it me, or does Windows 7 look pretty much the same as Vista? I don't know what I was expecting, but I was quite disappointed when I first installed it. When I first saw Vista, aftyer using XP for five years, I thought 'Wow', but not so with Win7!!

Just (re)install WMDC 6.1 and it will work in windows 7. When updating windows 7 to a higher version you should reinstall WMDC
Tried all the above still not syncing

I think I have researched all the treads on this pretty well now & I've tried all the above including rolling back to before I 1st allowed the WDM to install to no avail. I still can't get my Diamond talking to W7 WDM still talks to my old Vista Ult machine though.
Everything looks good the updater downloads drivers then the WDM then the installs happen the device gets found and it sort of knows its a HTC device plugged into a USB port but WDM and Sync Center both don't believe its there .
I've tried resetting the Diamond complete reboots of the computer, I've changed all settings in the PC to USB menu on the Diamond (another thread) and this only changes the Device from Generic Serial to Generic NDIS but still WDM won't connect or a 4Gb removable HDD but the sync centre still dosn't find it.
So has anyone got any further suggestions I can't believe its this hard every one else has no probs what might I be doing wrong (I think the fact the device is a Generic Serial not a Diamond might be a hint but I can't prove it)

Hi guys !!! Please Help ME !! I need to connect my diamon whit Windows 7 ! I've tried all the possibility but nothing ! Any suggestions?
Hey, is there any possibility to get a full screen windows mobile for shift??? If the answer is no, why? Why HTC didn't make it full screen???
There is many questions for the company:
why it is snapvue and not windows Mobile?
why it is vista and not wind 7, why the did not make drivers for it?
why the vista can not see snapvue without sync?
why the snapvue can not see the SD card?
there is no answer, we are waiting for the genus of this site to help.

Q1 - It is windows mobile, only named snapvue perhaps because of the limited functionalities.
Q2 - It is vista because there was no Windows 7 when Shift was made, nothing stops you updating to windows 7...Like I did. and there are drivers for it.
Q4 - Read the forum...this question is about 2 years late.
Q5 - Again, tons of posts on this, read the Shift forum.
Q6 - We have waited for the genius for many years now, they have tried enabling GPS, liberating Snapvue and also enabling phone calls in snap vue... I believe no one is willing to spend too much time on it again, afterall the HTC is not even looking in its direction again. But I am still keeping mine though.
