Hello,
I know you're all very knowledgeable, so I need your help!
I turned off my diamond last night when the battery was running out and since I put it back on charge whatever I do I can't get into it.
Edit: It's actually the T-Mobile version MDA Compact IV but with Manila TF3D and skin.
It starts up, says windows mobile etc. then it gets to the phone lock screen (which is always a bit laggy) but I can only manage a few digits before it locks up and completely freezes, then I have to do a soft reset or remove the battery to even turn it off.
I've tried everything, even typing the password as fast as I can, but I entered the wrong password too many times and now it's asking me enter a series of letters and numbers before I try again (which would be ok if it didn't lock up by then).
What can I do!?

Panic over - read some posts and figured out how to do a hard reset - all sorted now, thanks anyway!
That'll teach me for setting registry cache tweaks to maximum!
glad all is well
now theres...tweaking and there is tweaking
Yeah.. I think I'll stick to the tweaking for now and avoid the tweaking..

I had a similar thing and had to remove the SIM and refit....I got mine replaced and have since flashed SwiftBLs rom on the replacement to get rid of all the horrible t-mobile, slow and buggy 1.37.x.x rom......even though they claim everyone is happy with the device.
Ahh .. right - may have to try that SwiftBL ROM then, haven't tried flashing a new ROM yet, will have to read all the instructions etc.
Apart from the pinkness, the original one doesn't bother me too much, I find it pretty fast - especially compared to when I installed the Manila TF3D - it was really slow after that!
** By the way - I've just noticed that since my Hard Reset the weather cannot update it says it cannot connect! What is wrong here? I can get onto the internet but not download the weather!? **

Okay, I've searched and can't find this problem but hopefully somebody may have some ideas.
Quite frequently, I lose the top line of my display (the one with the start button and the system status icons). Everything else works but that line just disappears.
If I then lock the device it comes back. When I unlock it, it sometimes stays but sometimes disappears again once it's unlocked and I then have to turn my phone off and back on again.
I have a standard Orange UK phone, standard ROM and I've used some of the performance tweaks listed here. I've also disabled Touchflo and am using spb diary as my home page.
Anybody any ideas because this is driving me mad?
I had the same, but only when TF3D was deactivated. Since I use it again, it doesn't happen anymore...
It happens on my Orange diamond as well - stock 1.37 rom with TF3D enabled.
It seems to happen once every 4-5 days, and doesn't really have a pattern. Sometimes it's switching between Today and Second Today, sometimes it's rotating, sometimes it's unlocking etc..
flash a new ROM
Hello there.
Well i just recommend you to flash a new cooked ROM. I havent seen this behavior with a cooked ROM.
Best regards.
Well, at least it isn't just me but does anybody have any idea what causes the problem and how it can be solved.
Could it be something to do with glyph memory?
I used to see this sometimes on the orange rom. Since flashing a cooked rom makes the device twice as fast - and removes that problem - I would just flash it.

I know it's the wrong forum to say this but I'm just a bit scared to flash it because I've never done it before.
I'm worried about either a) bricking it or b) losing some setting that Orange put in to connect to their network (voice, data, voice mail etc).
Hi
I've had a similar Problem!
It seems to happen when I take the phone out of sleep cos I've got a text and its locked (I've set it for 30min).
I press the power button but the screen only half lights and the top line doesn't display. It sometimes says 'password' in the top left but does nothing if I press it.
I can slide along the bottom line but it doesn't work properly.
Interestingly I also have a Orange Diamond 1.37 ROM (which I've unlocked).
I'm gonna flash with HTC's ROM from there site and I'll let everyone know if the problem persists.
Wish me luck

And what happened?
Hi
Sorry for the delay. I tried the HTC site ROM but it just gave me a message saying 'Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device'.
So it looks like i'm stuck cos its still doing it about once a day just have to switch of and on again.

Okay. I still have the problem and am very, very tempted to try flashing a new ROM (and Radio). But I just can't quite work up the courage to do it since I've never done it before and it's the fear of the unknown.

This happens to me too. I have a T-Mobile Compact IV.
I've found that using FreeUP RAM (part of SKTools) not only releases memory, but also fixes this problem (until the next time it happens, which admittedly is not often).
Just wanted to say that I've upgraded my Orange ROM to the new 1.93 and I haven't had this problem....yet.
2 days without problems so I thought it may be safe to post.
IVe also had this on 1.37.x.x on my mda cmpct IV. Like everyone on here Im considering flashing but Im waiting for t-mobile to release an update (they keep telling me the will, presummably the 1.93.x.x) so that if I then brick the puppy - I can blame it on there rom upgrade.
I want this phone to be better, I know it can be with a ROM change...but I dont want to brick it and for once in my life will have some patience to wait.
Hi, I'm just turning on my 8925 for the first time and before setting it up I want to remove all the trial stuff. I set up, soft reset when the "3 seconds customization" comes up, but when the device turns back on, it takes me back to set up again (screen align, password, etc.) I've done this before with another Kaiser and I know it works, but this one keeps recycling the whole process. I've gone through the clear storage, set up, soft reset several times already and it's the same each and every time. What am I doing wrong?
I would keep resetting and if it still continues trying to install the bloatware, dump the rom and go with some of the other great ones. L26 Kaiser Diamond Rom V12 has been good for me lately, Schaps has some good ones ot there too. Those roms will better utalize the hardware on your kaiser. Hope this helps...
I'm so fed up with this. I going to stop now since I think too many resets will screw with the device. I'm starting to wonder if this is the same as the last Kaiser I had. For once there's a new green "window mobile 6.1" screen right after the AT&T logo at start up, which my other tilt didnt have. The screen says to wait while it's clearing storage everytime I do a hard reset, then take me to set up again, then back to the 3 seconds of bloated wares. Rinse and repeate. Another difference is that this one came with HTC Home today home screen the one with the big digital clock and tabs.
Could it be this is a used phone and the previous user loaded it with a different ROM?
You need to soft reset BEFORE the 3 second notice comes up...if the box pops up, you're too late and need to wait to get to the today screen once again. Remember...BEFORE...either way, there are many really nice ROMs out there...
Ah hah! Voila, you are THE man! Thank you thank you! <3
Still strange that this one came preloaded with HTC Home plug-in, though. But Im happy either way
My sister got a Tilt today and had the same issue (I tried to guide her over the phone to ditch the bloatware - she won't be flashing ROMs anytime soon...)
Hers contains the HTC Home plugin as well.
They've apparently updated the shipping ROM...
Glad to hear that it works fine before the 3 second box.
You'll be able to remap the PTT button right out of the box also. Good stuff.
Im just hoping this one doesnt have battery problem like the one I got before. I kept it as long as I could, even got an extra power battery for it (since the stock one drained after maybe 6 hours), until the damn thing heat up so bad while being charged that it almost burn my hand...
Been charging this one for a few hours and no heat problem yet!
/fingers crossed
You should really try a Manilla ROM--they are easy on the eyes, very nice interface...look up NATF or the AthineOS Manilla ROM. Both guys did a fantastic job on those...

Search around, more than likely, that question on your mind may have already been answered.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they are the easiest to answer...
I have searched and found some thread's about this sort of this but not exactly the same problem. I am using GARMIN'S FINAL ROM which I must say it awesome. Stable and the fastest I have seen yet but I am still have one problem, at certain point's my phone doesn't respond to touch, clicking of the front key's and even sometime I have to press button's on the keyboard 3 or 4 time's just to get it to type. I thought it could just be lag but even when I give the phone a few second's to do it's thing (load fully) it doesn't work properly? I mean even sometime's when I press the end key the friggin button's don't even light up.
I hope there is some help because I just got the Tilt and it seem's like a great phone but this is just getting to be stupid.
Thank's ahead of time.
i have the same issue with hyper dragon rom. and no, im not running any programs, memory usage is 48% (running nothing) however the screen wont respond to touchs, the keyboard wont respond etc but the cursor still blinks, animations still play etc.
ive already tried all of the "keyboard" fix's, adjusted the settings manually etc yes i calibrated the screen multiple times *waits for somebody to reflash even though i did that *
I was having that problem and I found the only way to workaround it was to re-align The screen in the Start>Settings>System>Screen menu. But, I have not had it since installing SJ's 15 November 08] HyperDragon III Raphael version here

I strongly recommend it. All you need to do is remember to install Opera 9 last per Notes at the top of the post.
Hope that helps.
I am going to try that out, it look's cool but it look's like there is way to much stuff for it to run fast? Also if I don't use Opera I don't need to install it correct?
bump! Any other idea's?
I have the same problem but mostly notice it when the phone comes out of sleep. The phone will work right then slow to a stop and not allow any input via the screen or keys. 10 seconds later it's good to go.
Edit
OK the fix I can confirm that woks is that you have to sim unlock your phone with the newer 6.1 roms. I did it and it completely fixed my lag problem. Use the kaiser unlocker to do it and it can be found with a simple search. Make sure you have a the right SPL and newer radio to make sure everything is compatible.
I have to reboot my Tilt daily b/c it becomes uber slow. It takes FOREVER to respond to anything. Some things don't even respond. I have taken off everything that wasn't stock. Even reset the phone back to factory settings. I'm on WM6.1 the ONLY program I have running is Active Sync and I have to have that running for work.
I emailed HTC and they said to upgrade to 6.1 to which I told them I already was and they never responded. Is there an app to reboot my phone every day at a certain time? I'm about to throw this thing in the trash.
This is my 2nd one doing the exact same thing.
Oh wait... Can I volunteer my trash can?? I have never had that problem. But then I don't run stock ROMs.
So, if I upgrade my ROM it could potentially fix the isuue? Got a recommendation on a ROM to run? I'm not to up on that stuff.
First step: Flashing your First Rom (For Noobs) "read read & read again"
With regards to ROM choice it's a personal choice and you will find the ROM you like.
Take a read of the ROM threads.

Sweet, thanks!
I never had this issue, and i'm running the HTC stock ROM.
Well, I finally said screw it and decided to quit being a wuss and install a ROM. I wanted to try the HyperDragon IV, but the download link wouldn't work. So, I did this one http://sakajati.com/blogs/2008/11/hyperdragon-iii-raphael/
Been up and running for about an hour. Just getting my exchange email accounts finished and populating. So far so good. We'll see how long between reboots I can go.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
you should reboot daily anyhow
I have had my TyTN II with stock rom for over a year now and I have never had to reboot without it being my fault, ie. installing something that doesn't agree with my device. Mine runs happily along all the time.
I have SK Tools installed and with it comes FreeupRam, which I run periodically to....well....free up ram...hehehehe.
Often some plugins do not agree with our devices, causing havoc, resets etc. This was my problem at one time. Now I am running Spb Mobile Shell and it is sweet, snappy and I have it customised just the way I like it. I found that phoneAlarm and HTC Home Customiser were the biggest culprits. Since I removed them and started using Spb Mobile Shell, I do not have those problems.
I also recommend that you purchase a programme called SafeMode. You set the time in seconds to boot into safe mode. It displays when the splash screen appears. This has saved me lots of frustration and unnecessary resets.
Here is the URL where you can buy it and it is well worth the US$12.95!!!

Never
i never had this problem, i may restart my kaiser after 10 days or more, i am using Athenos WM6.1 ROM
Nope... My last flashing/hard reset was about 4 months ago, I have ~40 programs installed and don't usually reboot more than once every 1-2 weeks, unless it's because I've installed/uninstalled/changed something that requires me to.
Using original stock 6 ROM, no need to reboot. But i noticed that from time to time Kaiser just turns off, wtf?
Is that because of the ROM i'm using, anyone with similar experience?
phone goes off, no questions asked. I tried to shake sim card holder, suspecting it has something to do with it. Sometimes i have to remove battery for a while, then hold reset with stylus, then to turn it off. Can it be fixed maybe, or will flashing help?
Thanks

Could your power button be sticky, or jammed?
Well, I didn't notice, it just sits on the desk, and goes off, then sometimes i just press power and it turns on, sometimes reset button needs to be pushed and/or battery removed, then just power button and it goes on again. I was suspecting most on sim holder, but testing it with fingers couldn't produce similar error. I'm really considering moving to athenes rom, but must figure out backup system in case i want to go back to stock with current settings and programs.
Hey guys/girls...
I flashed my kaiser about a week ago with the newest official HTC wm6.1 rom (the WWE version). Everything was great, plus i finally managed to send and recieve my emails with my googlemail account...
however, since friday its been acting very slow... even opening the HTC action screen, and selecting "new sms" either took 5 minutes or just didnt do anything... I was having to soft reset every 10 minutes in order to get any life out of it! I've since got rid of my hotmail account, which i think was causing the slowness (as my kaiser auto downloaded the first 50 emails to my phone, which i believe tends to hog resources and slows everything down). Its been responding much better since then... but this morning it started being slow again, and even came up with a "noisey screen" - meaning a mixmash of pixels and colours... which didnt want to go away.
I also have the same old invisible txt when i type an SMS, but only after I've typed about 30/40 characters... and yes, ive disabled cleartype in the system and in kaisertweak.
I've installed hardly anything onto it, and i dont get why im having these issues... it was running super fast and smooth just after I'd flashed it, but its just been getting real slow again... slower than before it got flashed!
any ideas/pointers would help greatly
Also, does anyone know what BTcoreif.dll is/does?
Do a hard reset and then don't change anything until you have made sure all is running fine, then add the next change (one at a time) and wait again. That will help you isolate the cause.
