Help! Dead WiFi and Bluetooth. - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi folks,
Got my Diamond just over a month ago. WiFi and Bluetooth worked just fine, but I was stuck with a bloody awful T-Mobile ROM.
A week later, I flashed it with Swift's ROM, v6 or thereabouts, and it seemed to work fine. About a fortnight ago, I noticed that WiFi refused to turn on -- I'd click on it in the Comms Manager, it'd think about it for a (long) while, then revert to the "off" position.
The same happened when I tried to do it via Settings...Connections.
Then, Bluetooth started doing exactly the same thing. I've always got 'Beam' turned on, BTW.
No matter, I thought -- I'll be updating the ROM soon, anyway.
So, last week I flashed it with Dutty's 2.3a ROM. AND IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!
Any ideas? Seems that it's not going to be a ROM issue -- is there any definitive way to test whether it's a hardware thing, i.e. the BT/WiFi chip (or whatever) has melted?
Next step for me is to flash a standard 1.93 ROM. Not that I don't trust you, Dutty
If it's a hardware issue, and I've got to return the phone to T-Mobile, should I flash it back to a T-Mobile UK ROM? If so, any idea where I might find one?
Thanks in advance. To be honest, I'm missing my MDA Compact III

hey yeah i got the exact same trouble...just saw your thread and thought ooh maybee its been solved lol
when you flashed the nu ROM, did you change the name of your phone back to whatever it used to be called...my mate reckons he changed his from admin back to steve and it fixed it...doesnt work with mine though...i changed it back to old name but still the same
now the answer call button is not lighting up so im gonna have to put stock rom back on and call them friendly ppl at t-mobile

Well, at least I'm not alone! Hope you get yours sorted.
I thought I did change the name back...but I might have changed it to something else later (which is probably what caused to suddenly not work). I've tried all the names I might have used, and nothing.
Anyone know what the default T-Mobile UK device name is?
Lastly, can anyone tell me where I can download a stock T-Mobile ROM? If I've got to give the damn thing back for repair, I suppose I should at least make it look untampered with!

My apologies -- somehow, I missed this when I tried searching this lunchtime.
Stock T-Mob UK ROM is on this thread:

i've got the same problem. all i've done though is applied the manila theme to it so i have to black htc theme as opposed to the girly pink one. dows anyone know how to solve this, and did changing it to the original pink theme work?

Nah, changing to stock T-Mob ROM didn't solve it.
Took it back to the shop, and they sent it off for repair, leaving me to use my battered old Compact III for a fortnight. Got it back last week, with a whole new motherboad (and a 1.93 ROM!), and it seems to work fine. Haven't managed to get a GPS fix yet, which is somewhat worrying, but I've not had time to check through the settings properly.

New P3600i sticks at splash screen

Bought it 5 days ago. When the battery went dead last night, I plugged it in to charge and switched it on .It did not go past the Windows Mobile splash screen. I took the battery out as well as the sim and memory cards, to no avail. I left it plugged in overnight and got the battery fully charged (battery indicator light is now green) and the network status green light would (at least sometimes) start flashing on boot, even though the phone would not completely boot up. I CAN get it into bootloader. What I want to know is, should I go to www.htc.com and download and install an official ROM from there, or should I leave all that alone and take it back to where I got it from before I screw it up? Additionally, the phone shows up as a Dopod D810 when registered on www.htc.com, and the radio and ROM versions appear to be lower/older than what came pre-installed in the phone. Advice anyone? I am fairly new and in the process of learning all this wonderful stuff you guys have to teach.
it seems like its already been fiddled with (correct me if i'm wrong people), i would visit the HTC club site and if you can upgrade using your serial number do that, as if you look in the trinity WIKI in "Trinity" forum (Not Trinity 6 forum, here) it states there is a different way to flash the p3600i as its setup different than the standard p3600.
This is exactly what happened to my phone when the battery died (after installing FInixNOver) Is there a problem with these ROMS, or something that happens when the phone dies!... My phone was also 'sticking/frozen/crashed' on the splash screen.
I just reflashed it with a new ROM after fully charging it again.
Thanks VISTAR. And WIZZKID - your phone works perfectly now after the flashing? And do you think it's because of the stuff you installed? BTW my ROM was an official HTC ROM. I actually got called out early this morning to do a flight to the island where I bought the phone (I am a commercial pilot flying Caribbean routes) and I packed it's backside back in the box and sent it to be exchanged. I don't have the new one yet, but I am beginning to wonder if I shouldn't try something else because of this problem of sticking at the splash screen - however I only have a choice of the Kaiser and the S730 at the moment. The P3600/P3600i is among my favourite WM phones of all times, but I don't wanna have to go thru this again. What do you guys think? By the way - I only just realized that I started this post in the wrong section, so please forgive me anyone whom is not pleased by that.
iF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE OF A KAISER I WOULD GO WITH THAT, ITS THE BEST OUT THERE AT THE MOMENT..
Yeah I know but I just don't like it the way I like the P3600i and some of the others. Besides I prefer no sliding hardware keyboard. Moving parts is an issue for me as I am very fussy about wear and tear/looseness. Thanks again for your help. I am gonna move over to WIZZKID's thread on this P3600/P3600i non-starting issue since I am in the wrong section of the forum. Thanks to all those who assisted...
Got a second P3600i and it did the same thing - a hard reset fixed the problem.

2 issues with Tilt keypad

I bought an ATT tilt quite a while ago. It is out of warranty now, and wouldn't you know it, something went wrong.
I'm currently using Dutty's Diamond ROM (with the keyboard fix installed), but the same happened before with the official ROM. While I text some keys don't work. I'll be typing away, just to look at the screen and see that I am missing a bunch of letters, rendering the message unreadable. I then have to go back and fill in all the blanks, and even then sometimes it takes several tries to get it to go. The same happens with the backspace key; sometimes it just doesn't work, other times it does (oddly enough, when it doesn't work normally, it usually lets me hit "function" and use it as the delete key).
My other concern is that there is a ton of lag while typing. It takes a while for letters to show up. Is that normal (for the Tilt, at least. I'm still wishing I had bought a BlackBerry)?
Yeah, I had similar troubles. I just upgraded my SPL and hopefully will be testing it further testing.
what SPL are you running?
I'm not entirely sure, it was a while ago that I flashed the ROM. How do I find out what it is? I tried Device Information, but it wasn't there.
you have to put it in Bootloader mode.
hold power and camera button while resetting with the stylus, then you'll come to the tricolor screen which will give you the SPL info.
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
I am having the same exact problem, 1 out of 5 times it works corectly so im thinking it has to be somekind of software, my problem started when I started using ROMeOS's rom's and I have tried different SPL's virsions.
I've heard that the keyboard/membrane may be the problem. Is that likely? If so, is there anywhere to buy them?

cnn.cn has them for cheap AFAIK!
Thanks!
But they only have the outer keypad (the one right below the screen). Well, I hope this can be fixed with software, because the only place I saw that listed them showed them at $39.99 and they were out of stock.

I got the same SPL he has, I did a hard reset afterwards then downgraded back to 1.0 because I saw no improvement.
I thought RomeOS worked best with 3.29.

found this in another thread!
Success! If the SPL doesn't work and I can't convince AT&T to do it, I'll order one and put it in. How do you install it?
EDIT: I just installed skyfire, and noticed that while I was putting in my email and password it was smooth and nothing was skipped. I'm almost 100% certain this is a problem with WinMo itself
I have been having the same problem as you are describing, but I have noticed that it is with heavy use keys like T, H, E, R, S and for some reason V.
I was getting the feeling that it was a hardware problem rather than a software problem because, especially with the V, I have to apply a bit of pressure to get the button to work.
Unfortunately for me I bought mine off Ebay so the warranty is already void.
Incidentally mine started happening when I had the original network providers (T-Mobile) rom on it. I have since installed an original HTC rom and it hasnt made the slightest bit of difference.
So, how easy is it to open up the back of the Tytn II and replace the keyboard unit then?
Oh my god! Thank you for posting this. I swear I have always felt like posting this but always got too lazy. I thought it was only me that had this problem. It is so annoying typing away, and then having to spend another minute to retype the letters that didn't get inputed the first time. It is so frustrating and I thought it was my fault or something, or ROM, I believe its hardware related, but I am not going to spend another dime on this POS. I'm just not so patiently awaiting t-mobile to release their android device, and I will jump ship and never look back! Thanks for the post again, it has given me piece of mind.....ironically
I'm kind of wanting T-Mobile's Android phone, but seeing as how it's made by HTC, I'll wait for the first couple of user-reviews to come out. I bought the Tilt based on website reviews, but man, I was really misled. They said the camera was great, I can only get blurry unrecognizable images. They made no mention of the fact that when you switch to landscape it takes 3 seconds for all the graphics to appear.
I'm disappointed, and I think my next phone will be a plain vanilla flip phone.
Anywho, I'm updating the SPL now, I'll post if it makes any change.
Okay, I now have HardSPL 3.56 and there does not appear to be much of a change. There was some short lag at the beginning of the text string, but afterwards it caught up. I missed no letters this time. I cannot say how much of this was the placebo effect (i.e. it just felt faster), but perhaps if everyone with the issue tries we can have a reasonable answer.
ETA: I added a poll, so if you try this, fill in the poll!
disable word suggestion under Input setting.
i don't miss any characters with it disabled.
It was already disabled for me. I know I didn't change it, I think the ROM came that way.

HTC Touch Diamond making random phone calls

Just short of doing a hard reset of the phone there isn't much else I can think of to be causing this. Therefore I am turning to you.
Randomly my phone will decide to call one person roughly about 6 or 7 times. The phone is never in use when this happens. Often notice this happening while the phone is being charged. The phone is usually plugged in, screen locked and in the leather case that came with it. So far I have noticed it being the same contact however previously a friend complained that I called him a couple times while he was at work (phone was in my pocket) and it is possible this has happened with my voice mail.
I have the stock HTC Rom from Rogers (GSM)
ROM Version: 1.93.631.8 WWE
ROM Date: 10/30/08
Radio Version: 1.00.25.06
External Apps:
A_C_S2U2
Montecristoff Diamond Tweak
iDevelopStuff & Marzens Touch_InCall_Tweak
Microsoft Facebook
Google Maps
mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02
Sushi's Diamond TF3D Config
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just short of removing the apps and waiting to see the only other option is hard reset the phone which is what I am trying to avoid.
Cheers!
[Edit]
I guess this is a duplicate thread. I noticed a few other posts (finally) of people experiencing the same issues. I guess I will try and upgrade the radio if that is my only other option aside from a hard reset. One concern is is there a way to remove Hard-SPL if I need to send my phone in for repair? I would assume yes and if this is the case can I backup the original SPL or is the original HTC one available? Also can you extract the existing radio for a backup? Clearly I am a newb when it comes to all this (first smart phone) and I am just slightly skeptical...

Ahaha!
Maybe then she will pay the phone bill that will be incurred due to the random calling.
Last night I tried to backup the stock rom on the phone to try flashing the energy rom but to no avail. I kept receiving the itsutils.dll error. I even moved the dll myself and now have the new one on the phone but it still will not give me the rom information so I can back it up. I am going to try using another computer tonight possibly and see; but I am certainly running out of options!
You think thats strange, my house phone called my touch diamond when I was in plain sight of both phones, and yes I was the only person in the house. It only called once and it rang twice then rang off......is it ringing any other numbers? thats not a question
Well I don't know whats going on but it hasn't done anything lately. I upgraded S2U2 to the latest (doubt thats the case) so only time will tell.

Vertical lines from Camera

My Kaisers Camera image has 3 blue vertical lines in it. I just got this phone a few weeks ago, and I didn't see them when I got it. I got it off Ebay, so it is used. Otherwise, phones in great condition.
Is there a way to fix this, or I gotta get the camera replaced? I don't see anyone selling the Camera replacement part. Will T-Mobile or HTC fix it for free?
try changing the cooked roms
mine also had te same problem with shifu rom
now its good with other roms
I also had shifu rom and thought what you said. I switched over to the AthineOS, but it didn't go away. I didn't flash back to the original rom first on my phone. Could it be that I need to flash back to the original T-Mobile rom first and then to AthineOS?
Also, what rom are you using?
I installed the HTC orignal firmware, and then flashed TPCElite. I didn't fix it.
So, does this mean it's hardware?
I have a similar problem but with one red vertical line. I have A TPC v11 ROM loaded. I flashed to the stock rom but it still had the same problem. Any ideas?
Does anyone know where to purchase a rear camera assembly?
I noticed that with the T.i.R. v20 K rom, my Camera produces a strange horizontal fuzy line across my picture. It's not a thin line like the vertical ones, but a thick and white fuzzy bar going across the image. Problem is, it only appears when you look at the image after you're done using the camera.
Oddly, I switch over to a different radio rom 1.65.16.25, and now it doesn't happen. Instead I got one of my vertical lines to appear again. I had a 4th one appear a few months ago, but it had vanished. Now that I installed the 1.65.16.25 rom, it came back again.
By installing the 1.70.18.02 rom, the lines even changed color. Went from blue to red now. Some of the lines are broken, like parts are normal. Plus a 5th line is now added.
I'm nearly convinced that my camera isn't broken, but instead there's a problem with mixing the Radio+Roms. Especially since this is a T-mobile model, which isn't very popular here on the forums. I think by trying Android and using the camera will tell me if the Camera is physically broken.
Who else has this problem and has a T-Mobile Kaiser?
As was previously suggested it definitely sounds like you need to keep testing different radio versions for your phone if you are getting these lines etc. About 99% of the time it's just due to that. I've had a similar problem before and I fixed it by going through about 15 different radios. It took a while but got there in the end. Perseverance is the key. Luckily it doesn't take long to flash the radio each time. Failing that, maybe try a new rom? Good luck.
lol i got the same problem too, eventhough using original rom. I had vertical and horisontal line

Have the same problem with Tir 20K. used to have TPC V11 without problems (Same radio on both) will tr to change ROM/Radio and let you know.
Changed to JJBlaster3 Build 23518 ROM and the lines went away. Same when I had TPC V11. The problem was with the TIR Rom (or the Radio combination with it)

Yes I think JJ applied some sort of camera fix months ago in his roms. But maybe it wasn't for this exact problem.
I haven't tried that rom yet. I'll let you know if it fixed it for me.
Hi dukenukemx, is your TyTN II already fixed? Cos mine has the same problem. I've tried flashing around 5 cooked ROMs (always flashing stock ROM in between), and around 12+ radios. By the way I didn't notice if the lines were already there before I started flashing cooked ROMs. The first time I noticed it, there were 5 lines. Now I can see 7 lines. So looks like this can be software rather than hardware related. Hope someone can help me solve this problem.
Thanks everyone... Cheers...
hello need everyone help..
hello guys..
firt i wanna ask about camera also..i got kaiser 130,htc tytn 11 also but not sure what model at&t or tmobile or else..but my phone got front camera.

HardSPL?
Could be possible that HardSPL 3.28 to be linked with the vertical lines camera issue?
Coincidentally or not, my TyTN II started to suffer this s**t just after upgrade to 3.28.
For the records, I already tried many cooked ROMs, radios and the issue did not disappear.
Thanks.

Very Frustrating Problem - Please help me!!

Hey everyone,
My problems consists of:
- The screen/touch is off. I've done Screen Alignment, it works for a couple hours or so then it just starts to have a mind of its own again
- When I slide the keyboard out, the screen does not rotate, it's just frozen in portrait mode. However, responds to the keys I push on the keyboard, I've tested it by texting someone.
The ROM I was using was a Generic NAM R3A WM6.1 when this problem occured, tried to re-flash with the same ROM, no luck and finally a custom one (Touch X 10.8) and unfortunately, still no luck.
I've never dropped the phone or done any modifications to it. Am I doomed and will have to send the phone in for repairs or is there another way to fix all this?
Thanks

If I were you, I'd have it back in the shop in no time. But you will need to put back the original rom, otherwise your guarantee will be gone.
Good luck!
Don't forget to revert the SPL since you flashed it to hard SPL.
If You make a new topic then it's pointless to use not at all informative cries for help. It does not say anything about the problem you are having.
The title should say something about the issue so people who know something about notice it and can offer to help and people having the same issue later can find this topic.
Sorry, I'm new to this message board and not really around either.
