Please do not throw rocks at me. I tried searching in the forum and in google. Not sure if I'm wording it correctly. But anyway, when I'm using the QWERTY keyboard I'm having trouble w/ typing. I usually have to go by to some words and seperate them. I don't know if it's the speed of the keystroke that I should be worrying about or using more force pressing each key.
I hope I make sense.

Are you using a stock or cooked ROM? Try disabling the word suggest and XT9 (if your ROM supports it). I still have the occasional issue with misplaced spaces or double letters, but it's very minor.

I'm using a cooked ROM. It is a minor problem, but sometimes I don't like going back and fixing things. =/
I have a similar problem on my keyboard. The only complaint I have is that I use a clip on my Kaiser. They should have put the space bar a little bit higher because when I type I don't space so I end up writing like this..
Howw as yourd ay . Gets annoying because I have to go back and space and delete.
My major problem is, and i'll try to explain as best as I could.
On your PC keyboard, if you press the INSERT key and you press space it'll delete any words after. When I'm typing on my TILT i go to backspace and it won't let me. It could be in IE, WORD, text messaging etc. I have to highlight what I want to delete and then press the delete button. Sometimes if i'm typing and lets say I type "Educated" but I missed the "C". If I tap in the middle with stylus and try to type in the "C" it'll delete my "A","T", depending on how many times I press a button on my keyboard. Very annoying. Any fix.

Same EXACT issue. Thought I was retarded. Glad to hear that others are having the same issue.
Anyone have a a fix for this? It is EXTREMELY annoying. I'm using Dutty's April 29th 6.1 ROM.

I started having that issue sometime after mid-april. However, over the past few days I've been trying new roms out and I noticed that Laurentius26 May 19th rom and shogunmark May 23 deathv2 beta release hasn't had this issue. Therefore, I am making the assumption that it was either caused by a program i was installing, which I am not installing anymore (However, since others have this issue I cannot base my assumption on an application I was installing), or the problem is arising because of the builds that are/were being used.
I have tried countless roms.
I just noticed that the two roms I mentioned above both use At&t 19213 build
Btw LOL @ notatreofan being all nice and everything. Lol. Put a picture of a female as your avatar if you are going to create a "redundant thread". Lol not that this is redundant. JK about that avatar thing also.
Anyway, I've had Schaps 4.31 for a while first ROM i flashed been happy with it. I have to search for those two roms and see what they include. It bugs me because I have to type slow ass hell just to make sure it's accurate. I master typing while not looking and driving at the same time. It's a buzzkill. Help anyone!
I have been having the same issue in my Tilt. Using the Apr 29th dutty rom, and upgrading to the latest may 22nd rom seemed to have helped it a great bit. although still not gone completely. And all programs that were installed on the 29th rom and the 22nd rom are the same set. So it does seem to be a rom / radio issue.
The problems with slow keystrokes is usually in ROMS that have a XT9 keypad installed, such as one of dutty's hybrid ROMs or any with the new Diamond keyboard package. If you download and install the "disable xt9" cab that is around here on some ftps and such, it will solve the problem.
Thanks mZimm. Here's the link for anyone else who is having this problem.

rebandana,
That cab worked well for me. I just typed a little in Word Mobile and sent a text message. I'll report back a little later if you'd like.
Off topic, how is that Shogunmark ROM working out for you?
thanks everyone for you help & advice! trying out the cab now. * crossing fingers * hope this works!
Is there a way to do this so i can use T9 on the Diamond Keypad but disable T9 on hardware keyboard so i don't get the space lag?
Cheers

First impression, EXTREMELY bad fingerprint magnet. I was expecting it to be like D810's fingerprint problem, but its much muh worse. However, the back cover seems to be a different kinda plastic glossy coating than D810, so i expect no peeling problems here.
Start up screen, after it install all necessary sys cabs, there's actually a short demo (video) on how to use the Touch interface. The old Touch didnt have that, justin writing in a manual..
The glass screen feels....like got some static attraction, so its totally not fun to scroll around with the finger. Well see how it is after putting on the screen protector
EDITED: Added Screenprotector, Touch feel is now MUCH better. Screenprotector is also of high quality. (thick and solid)
UPDATE on ICONS: Some games i insalled like Hexic and Warcraft 2, the icons in the start menu is totally screwed up, like, can see the shape of the icon, but not wat the icon is. It looks black and has strange lines. But not all games like this. Only some. I'm trying to figure out why. They're all meant for VGA. Hmm
Running the game once and performing a soft reset solves this problem.
UPDATE on TOUCH FLO 3D LAG: I've tried to mess around with Touch FLo 3D, see how much stress it can take. Handling it normally, placing my thumb at the bottom and moving it left to right, selecting what it want, and returning to the home screen, no problem at all. Now as you know besides sliding your thumb around, u can just CLICK it and what you want will appear. Example you're at TODAY screen, i click messages instead of susah go slide from TODAY to MESSAGES. Slight lag occurs when i do this (a tenth of a second? Probably loading time not really a "lag"). Now i tried ABUSING the system = Click on on messages, before messages load, i click Today, click Music, click Programs, click Internet, Click click click click. Basically i'm not letting ANYTHING load, just spamming clicks. A definite lag before what i last clicked finally appears on my screen (about 1- 1.5 seconds). Which is impressive, considering how i abused it like crazy. LOL. I honestly expected it to hang.
UPDATE ON MAPKING 2007: I have just tested it, and Mapking users will be glad to know that it supports the VGA screen on HTC Diamond, and GPS works flawlessly, despite worries that eGPS since its new, may not be recognized by Mapking
UPDATE ON CALL OF DUTY: Works absolutely awesome, NOT using minimal settings, i was able to play pretty well. NOTE: Tytn2 and Touch Cruise was NOT able to play due to heavy lag even with minimal settings. Game was perfectly fine, with except with just a small little, not lag, but looks like the rendering was a bit slow as i looked around, when i used hardkeys and stylus at the same time. NOTE: ALL pdas lag in gaming when using hardkeys and joystick at the same time. However, it was minimal, and call of duty was enjoyable to say the least. SO yes, it DOES have graphic accelerators. Proper benchmarks will be done when i have proper time.
UPDATE. SPB benchmark seems to hang. cant run it. hangs at testing word document.
UPDATE on Touch Flo 3D part 2: Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment...42&d=1202399126, thanks to schap, and customize File system cache to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072. This gives drastic improvements in Touch Flo 3D.
UPDATE ON BATTERY REVIEW : I did this test, based on what a student (like me) would probably use. More sms than calls. Here's a rough estimate.
TOTAL HOURS BEFORE KONKING OUT TOTALLY = approximately 9 hours, give or take
TOTAL SMS-ES = 120
TOTAL TALK TIME = approximately 15-20 mins
TOTAL LIGHT GAMING TIME (Hexic) = 45 mins.
Its actually pretty impressive.
My verdict is that with backlight on "auto adjust" and with the dimlight dimming within seconds after not being used, there is a HUGE amount of power saving from running the VGA screen. Also, it could be possible that with its graphic accelerators, gaming also consumed less power than usual.
My Touch Cruise same amount of usage above lasted 11-12 hours
IMPORTANT UPDATE (regarding black icons): It appears that the cause of our ugly black icons is not our VGA screen, but Touch Flo 3D itself. Looks like its a bit buggy. So we'll have to wait for a proper rom update regarding it (or perhaps someone can come up with a registry fix). Don't believe me? switch off your Touch Flo 3D, and soft reset your PDA. All icons should turn back to normal. Also, with Touch Flo 3D off, you can expect better battery life, as well as a significant increase in speed for your pda.
UPDATE HTC Touch FLO 3D, another bug: There appears to be memory leak issues with Touch Flo 3D. The longer u use the less ram u'll appear to have. Will have to wait for rom update to fix all these bugs
My Blog : http://heretical-rantings.blogspot.com/2008/06/htc-touch-diamond-user-review.html
IMPORTANT UPDATE (bluetooth stack problem): It appears that after using Bluetooth A2dp, your pda will have "vibration non stop" as well as phone totally mute problems. This is reported by other members in XDA. I'll run a check up on the latest 1.37 rom and see if this is fixed, as well as other issues. Stay tuned.

kudos on one of the few informative posts i have read on this new forum for touch diamond...
Nice summary.
Few questions.
1. COD - Can you please post your control settings here?
2. Do you know the actual registry change for changing the file system cache to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072. I like to do this via registry. I couldnt find this info...
Thanks.

Nice summary Baronic, at least when i get my Diamond ill know what to look out for. Saying that, it could be that the UK spec Diamonds have been delayed because of these problems??. LAst i heard was that they were being held back because HTC wanted to apply a software update or something like that before they were released into the UK. Unless they are trying to stop us from hacking the phone ie cooked roms etc. I hope not or else i will be extremely angry as to why they would do such a thing.
@boinger, you're welcome
@Kraft, in COD there's a box to tick "low settings". I'm playing it with it unticked thats all. No other settings.
For reg edits, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265
@Spawn, I've no idea about UK sets, as i'm from Malaysia. However, here, we've just had a rom update yesterday, and i'll be flashing it tomorrow, and see if the main problem: Black icon and memory leak, has been solved.
I'll be updating my Blog, as well as here probably once i flash the new rom. I'll have to come up with a summary on the roms as well soon, which roms have the Touch Flo 3D problems. My blog is in my signature

You already have a ROM update, did you find that on the HTC website in the HTC e-club? I just checked out the Hong KONG HTC region site and it has no ROM updates.
A question: doesn't the screen protector blur the display and therefore ruin the hi res of the device?
@save ferris, no, HTC doesnt seem to have the rom update, i'm going directly to the distributer for the rom update. though owners who bought their Touch DIamond today/yesterday would already have that update.
@pedmomd, no it doesnt blur the screen at all. its a clear screen protector

great post dude..
one more bug is
when using audio booster, after a while/charging or phone call, music played would be bassless.
Ways to fix it is to plug the headset in, disable audio booster, unplug and replug in the headset.
I seem to be having an issue now and then when I start typing in landscape mode, the phone switches back out to the landscape home screen. I have to switch back to the app while in landscape mode in order for me to continue.
Is there a way to stop this from happening?
Thanks!
thank God i've found someone who has similar problem like me! hopefully someone can guide us how to solve this problem.. many thanks!
I get the same problem, it does it in all different programs.
yeah, but it's odd because it only happens after some time of usage. Once I restart the phone, it seems to be ok again.
Well I must say that's why I've quit using RomeOS' ROM's, I had the same issue but not on the PROVEN ROM so I'll continue to use that one...
I have this problem, too. I'm using the stock att rom. Instead of rebooting to fix, you can just disable and re-enable tf3d.
It's also worth noting that a guy I work with just got a new fuze, and he has this problem as well. He hasn't installed anything on the phone yet, so that proves it's a problem with tf3d.
How i fixed mine...
This happend to my when I tried to install a different
HTCvolumeControl.dll
Maybe your rom has a bad HTCvolumeControl.dll
Try deleting HTCvolumeControl.dll and the rom will re-create after a restart.
If that doesn't work... maybe the rom has a bad HTCvolumeControl.dll
i have the same problem.. and i havent installed anything on my phone yet!
i have the same problem too,(i am running the stock att rom) mine switches back to portrait them back to landscape and back again a couple of time before stopping, i tried restarting a it works fine for a couple of minutes then it happens again, any help will be much appreciated
it has something to do with the customer taskbar icons, i only fixed it after removing sdkcerts, and the custom icons i had.

Thanks for sharing.. Would you mind to explain more detail?.. where is the "sdkcerts" ?
yeah, share information with us =)
I can't believe more people aren't talking about this problem. I deleted HTCvolumeControl.dll with no luck. I also uninstalled sdkcerts and even my custom icons. The problem still comes back. A second guy I work with got a fuze, and his has this problem straight out of the box. So that's 3 that I personally know of.
To clarify, the programs don't actually close, they just lose focus when the keyboard is opened, and then go into the background as the landscape menu comes to the front. Today, I noticed that opera goes to the background when I rotate my phone... the screen turns to landscape, then the task bar shows up, then it kicks back to tf3d.
Another way to test if the problem is happening is to goto the messaging tab, click to create a new message, then just open the keyboard. Sometimes I start typing, and then the phone comes up accepting the keys I'm typing. Then the landscape menu comes up on top of that.
I also changed my registry to disable landscape mode in tf3d. I thought that solved the problem (I didn't miss having the stupid landscape menu), but it still happened, only when I opened the keyboard, the phone came up. If I didn't hit any keys, it would disappear and whatever program I was in would come back. That was only slightly less annoying than before.
The past 2 days, I've been constantly testing to see if the problem was happening (restarting tf3d makes it stop for a while), and it didn't happen for 2 straight days. It started again today, and I hadn't touched my phone since I had last tested for the problem. In between that time, I received 2 emails. I didn't test before I opened the emails, but one had a link that I clicked on, and then the problem happened in Opera when I rotated the phone. So something happened when I either received the email, opened the email, or clicked the link to goto Opera.
I'm sure if we can pinpoint exactly what is causing this problem to start happening after a restart, we can fix it... or figure out some sort of workaround. So to anyone that has this problem, please post as many details as you can about what apps you were running or anything that could help determine the root cause of the problem. Only then can a fix be developed. I'm already digging all over the registry trying to find something to change that would fix this, but it's hard to fix something when you don't know what's causing the problem.
Is this only a fuze problem or are other TPs are experiencing this??
just to confirm im having the same problem on the normal version of the Touch pro (stock ROM)
a little pointer too: When you want to send an sms do the following. Start new sms, open the keyboard. Then WAIT a second (dont start typing immediately). Then start typing.
For some reason this does not seem to exit my messaging. If i start typing immediately it sometimes closes

i have a very similar problem that's been driving me crazy!!! on my TP everytime i slide out the keyboard when i have an app open in which i choose to type via the keyboard, my dialer pops up!!! The exact same thing happens as soon as i slide it back away. Very frustrating is the "g" rated way of describing this issue. FYI - even had this problem before any installations on a brand new device fresh out of the box.
yes.. i'm having that dialer problem too.. everytime i open my keyboard even in SMS mode or Opera, my dialer will pop-up.. very annoying...
i've also tried disable TF3D and use normal Today screen, the dialer problem and programs exit problem when opening the keyboard are still happen !!! wtf is wrong with the landscape mode??!! i've tried searching anything can be edited in registry but i'm too afraid i'm going to break my TP or cause me to hard reset

I have tried searching the forums, but can't find anything about it. When I get a text sometimes and try to reply, the display where the words are showing up that I'm typing is smaller than usual. If I type more than one line, I can't see what I'm typing (and don't know if I'm making mistakes).
I think it usually only happens when I'm replying, though I have noticed it happening during normally opening up the texts. Sorry I'm not as descriptive, I have been using a tilt for about 8 months now (2 separate ones) and haven't really found a rhyme or rhythm to it yet. Is there a fix for this or anybody know what's happening?
Thanks for anything.
I haven't run into this myself at all. Are you speaking of the size of the text input box, or the font size of the text you're typing, or both? What programs do you have installed? Have you tried a soft-reset?
It's happened with every WM6 program I've run, as much as I can remember - ever since the I've had the stringed text messaging. WM6, WM6.1, Dutty's Rom, Laurenitis' rom (did I spell that correctly?).
I've done soft resets as well. I wasn't sure if it was a common thing that I just couldn't find searching. Anybody else run into this?
Sorry, it's the text input box that's the problem and I currently have the official wm6.1 installed. I've got a # of other programs installed:
AE Buttons Plus
Google Maps
MusicID
Opera
Pandora
psShutXP
Skyfire
SlingPlayer mobile
S2u2
I also use gullum diamond keys
If you go to Control Panel, System>Screen, there is an option to set system wide font size. Try increase that.
I have the same problem. It's as if the text input box at the bottom of the threaded SMS 'hides' behind the bar at the bottom where the softkeys are, so you can only see about 40% of the box. Very annoying if you're typing more than one line.
I've tried changing the font size, which doesn't help.
Changing the orientation of the screen doesn't help.
Ending the "SMS/MMS" application and starting it again doesn't help.
A soft reset sometimes helps, but not often.

i've experienced the problem you are describing on some of the recent HyperDragon ROMs by SJ...make no mistake about it, HyperDragon is an EXCELLENT series of ROMs.
for me, ending the sms/mms application and then starting it up again ALWAYS works everytime i've experienced the issue
...and i think it is caused by rapidly closing the hardware keyboard shut (which causes the screen orientation to begin switching back to portrait) right after typing a text reply in a thread and hitting send followed by pressing the hardware OK button (to close the thread and return to the inbox)...threads you open afterwards will then show this "shortened" reply input field. i'm not certain about the above scenario but i think i was doing some or all of those steps in some order just before experiencing the issue whenever i have experienced the issue.
Hey all
I do have a little problem concering text messages.
i'm using a custom rom. unfortunantly, i forgot what its called or who made it
in case it rings a bell: it's a very plain wm 6.5 rom. i think the only visible difference to how MS wants 6.5 to look like is a small battery meter in the top right. I've been using it for a year almost a year now i think.
there are just a few things that bother me.
by far the most annyoing one is that SMS aren't stored. the just flash on the screen with the two soft buttons becoming "save" and "dismiss". this is really bothersome because the message will also go away if you flip open screen to type, touch the screen or something like that. also, I think I loose many messages just by having the phone in my pocktes while moving around. it often happens that people tell me about messages they sent me and i have no idea what they're talking about.
another thing, which is of much less important is the camera button. I can start the camera application by pushing the dedicated button. however, running the camera application, I can't take pictures with that button. only the center, opcitcal joystick thingie button works for that...
is this a typical wm 6.5 behaviour? does anybody now of a patch or something? would appreciate your help.
Thanks
