Got my diamond yesterday and everything seemed fine but the g sensor doesnt appear to be working correctly.
I noticed it earlier while trying to play teeter for the first time. when i tilt my diamond from side to side the ball moves fine but tilting it length ways (top to bottom and bottom to top) does absolutely nothing. have installed the g sensor calibrater but still no change.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Jamzi
Also just noticed that when im viewing pictures, before i turn the phone round into landscape mode the picture is upside down?!
have i bought a dud diamond?!

Try doing a hard reset and see if that solves the issue....
If this does not I would suggest checking that you have a recent ROM, and then perhaps updating same...this may do the trick also...
If these fail then it may very well be that you have a hardware issue, return for warranty repair!!!
The best way to test your G sensor is with the pictures in album mode. Here you can rotate the phone in any direction and vertical and horizontal motions also. IF your picture rotates every time your good, if not then it's a hardware problem, and if that's so then take it in for a repair/replacement as previously stated.

I just got the sprint version of the HTC DIAMOND Sunday, and this is my first WM device. Warranty is still good as well.
My problems:
1)
When trying to take photos or videos, the zoom constantly moves in and out regardless of me not pressing a thing (For example, when i open the camera, the zoom constantly moves from 1.0-2.0x all on its on). I don't know if it suppose to do this or not, but i don't think so. The same thing goes for viewing pics and Opera as well, it zooms back and forth without me touching a thing.
2)
Sometimes it seems as if the "end" button or buttons on the right of the center button,doesn't respond well. I try to hold it down to lock my phone, but it takes several tries in order to this. Maybe its just me
3)
Iv'e read that the center button susppose to act like a scrolling mechanism, but i dont think mine does. Has this feature been disabled or something?
Its a nice phone, but i think mine has a couple of bugs. The zoom problem really annoys me, because i cant take pictures with the camera zooming in and out constantly. Please help..
When using opera Or the camera rotate your finger around the center button(stay on the outside of where it raises)
With the end button try to press it on the far bottom right(as far from the center as possible.
I think the center as a scrolling thing has to be enabled

Make sure when you are in the album or camera, your palm isn't covering the scrolling "ring" around the centre button, as this could be causing the zooming problem. If all else fails, hard reset.
Also, for the buttons to the right, make sure you are almost at or close to the edge of the diamond. if you are close to the center button, it may be acting as a "right click" (as the area to the right of the center "scrolling ring" is a "right" button).

thanks for the info, but when i say it zooms without me touching it, i meant that literally. For example, right now im looking at a pic in my phone. The phone is literally just laying on its back while I'm typing this message. Its constantly zooming in and out of the pic in real rapid movements. Could it be the screen protector that came with the phone? (But then again, it only happens when I load the camera/camcorder,search the web, or view pics) I have it on, but i didn't think that would be the cause. Anyone else encounter this problem? Maybe I should just do a hard reset, or maybe return it. IDK
Sorry to hear...
I have the screen protector on that came with the device, and mine is working fine. Try a hard reset, let me know if it works

My tilt is acting very nasty lately. Over the past few weeks, I noticed that when I turned on the display, occasionally I would get something that looked like the static that you see on TV, but with colors. I would just turn off the screen, and turn it back on to clear it.
Now it's gotten worst! 98% of the time, it intermitantly gives me a blank solid white screen when I turn it on. Occasionally I can just turn to screen off, and on to reset it.
I'm running OEM WM6.1, and I've tried to reinstall the OS, but it didn't help. My phone has taken a beating, and the top corner has had a small crack in it over the past 2 months, but it didn't effect the touch screen, or picture. I also took off the cover to make sure the cables were all snug, and it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
Something got corrupted. If you search WIKI, it's call the 3 color screen stuck .. and you're better off posting at thread below. I hope someone can give you help (if you follow those steps and still no good)
As rule of thumb, do a lot of reading first

On a second thought, it might be the LCD itself broken ..
Oh, believe me.. I'm not one to turn to the forums without doing research myself! All the research I was coming up with seemed to point to a slightly different WSOD though. I think you are right about the screen being broken. I've reinstalled the software, and it acts up even when booting up!
Unfortunately, I'm not impressed with ANYTHING on the market to date! If I'm unable to fix this, I'll just go back to a RAZR until the next gen WM7 phones come out. (With a tilt screen of course!!)
Oh, and even though the screen goes white, it's not stuck, as it fully boots up; I can hear sounds, and even activate the touch screen.
Also, I forgot to mention.. the first problem I started experiencing was that my tilt would go back from landscape mode! It was like the video board was crapping out. I could even see a slight flicker in the display from the refresh rate.
hi i think you may need a new Need a new flex cable ribbon as i had the same problem once
Thanks Tayzaa, I think you could be on to something. I'll open it up and take another look!
Hi!
is this problem solved?
WSOD is bug of Hermes. I would know if kaiser have the same WSOD-bug with D-pad?
I don't know what I did (maybe install something) but now my proximity sensor on my HD7 is out of whack. When I do a call it almost instantly goes to black even if it isn't next to my face or anything else. And it won't go back to the regular screen until after the call is over. (Yes I've tried pushign the button on the top of the phone). The phone has worked for months just fine, but a couple weeks ago I noticed this new behavior.
I've tried finding the right ## code to get to these settings but I can't find the one that works with the HD7.
I've tried calling T-Mobile support too, all they said is to hard reset my phone. Which I'd rather not do. Especially if it is a simple setting that can be adjusted.
Thanks
htc hd 7 proximity sensor problem
Hii, l have the same problem but l have not solve it yet.did you solve your problem? Can you help me about this topic.thanks...
I had it number of times in my case hardware issue.
To fix. Take battery out, clean the two sensors on top of screen left to htc logo. Clean properly with washing up liquid as water or finger did not work. Dry it up with phone off for about 1h and presto.
I always trigger the fault on hot day or rainy day.

I FIXED IT HERE watch it on the TUBE at /watch?v=XKk_4sXqqLA[/url] or youube look for proximity sensor fix by DAVERUKY
Distance of 10 cm from the phone fell to the ground from the top left corner of contact with the ground, and then found the phone's gravity sensor failure, and in the upper and lower unresponsive, about normal use, in addition there is the screen of the camera upside down, pictures are reversed, other each sensor can work, I have been reluctant to believe that this is a hardware problem, it encountered?

Most likely a hardware issue. I read somewhere a long time ago that this happened to another person. He said he fixed it by hitting it again and the sensor started working again. Although I can't recommend hitting your phone.

haha yes i do my friends is but i don't think that will be better

I have friends, is one such issue, but also gravity sensor, and fell once, an unexpected result normal

This happened to me when I dropped my phone. Result, wouldn't switch to landscape mode. Got home and dropped it on the table a few times (Have an otterbox on it) and it unstuck the sensor. Phone works fine now. This is a pretty common occurrence with 'dropped' phones..
Hi everyone. I got my new Moto X 2014 (XT1092) just a few days ago, and I managed to drop it already. It fell upright, from abou 20-30cm height, and hit with the bottom on the floor. No signs, cracks or anything.
After a while I relaised that the camera was upside down (both moto app and google) an couldn't turn in landscape mode. I read about it in several forums, so i hit it on me knee, relatively hard, and it was indeed fine after that. Everything works as expected now.
I'm experiencing a problem with the automatic screen rotation sometimes. Basically when rotating the phone from vertical to horizontal the screen doesn't follow the movement. The only way to solve this is to put the phone vertical again, wait few seconds and then rotate it. I've already tried the usual movements to try to help the accelerometers to capture the movement but nothing, even turning the phone vertical quickly doesn't work, it has to stay vertical for a few seconds.
Also it doesn't happen all the time, but only sometimes (I've noted this while watching videos on YouTube)
Anyone experiencing this? I'm on stock rom and i really hope it's software and not hardware related.
I think this might have something to do with moto action. Some of the actions piggy ride with the accelerometer so it might thinks you're about to do moto actions but fails to fulfill the conditions. Hence, it leaves you without any response/feedback.
