Mute when face-down??? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

correct me if im wrong, but in the stock version of the diamond,
when a call is recieved and the phone is flipped to face downwards, isn't the phone suppose to mute ?
I have not experienced this in any of the cooked roms, just a curious questions atm cause that is kind of a niffty feature that attracted me in the begining.

yeah, you need to turn it on in hte registry. im too lazy to find the entry for you and it seems youre to lazy to search, anyway, check out advanced config

hahah! agreed, i was kind of lazy. it was just a spark of thought, in the heat of the moment.
atleast im man enough to admit im lazy rather then claiming i have "apparently tried to search and cannot find". Not that 'neWb'.

need some reg help

Hey fellas,
Any registry keys i can use to auto-disconnect from gprs/3g/medianet etc etc at a specific interval.
I keep on leaving it on for like 8 hours dragging my battery down to nill at the end of a night.

OK, I'll do it for a lazy person that can't wait.
There is a sticky at the very top of this forum you have posted in that has a WONDERFUL package called 'Kaiser Tweaks'.
Amazingly, this does just what you want (without the effort of a search!) and much more!!
OK now???
crap I didn't even think about using kaisertweaks since its built into my rom...duhh..
I'm sorry for snapping at you, been a long day

No probs pal... We all have them at some time...
sigh..doesn't work, any other ideas?
how often do use it? i mapped data connection to my comm. mgr. and mapped that to ptt (hold) and just tap that to disconnect.
it syncs up to my mailserver for work every hour and id like it boot me off after 5 minutes. ill try to change its frequency and maybe that may fix it.
pehh still nothing weird... im trying to see if its conflicting with another setting but it isn't the case
modacco NoData works fine. For the 3g, you can use that 10 comm manager thing
hmm i may try that then.

TyTn II Changes

I figured someone might know of a way to change the few little things that annoy me with my TyTn II. Ive had it for a while and pretty much only use it as a phone, now I have more free time to play around with it, and searching through threads & accroynms I'm starting to figure out what everyone it talking about.
Here are the few things that but me.
After a call screen locking bug - but I found a thread and fix for it, sad that HTC still hasnt fixed it though.
SMS sent notification - I seriously wish it wouldnt tell me the message has been sent and I can hit dismiss or doing something else and it goes away, but it still pops up and gets in the way.
New SMS - most phones you can click a button to stop the vibration or sound, I dont like how it vibrates non stop for a very long time and or I have to wait for the sounds to finish it, I cant cancel it by click the phone end button or any button for that matter. I have a sound that is kind of long, its funny, but I dont always want to listen to it all the way through.
Anyone know of registery fixes or programs/patches please let me know! Thanks
Try this to disable the SMS Sent notifications
can be uninstalled via remove programs too if you want them back
let me know if it works (it works for me on my hermes)
Thanks I'll try tonight when I get back home.
Also I wonder if its a setting, but FF at home and IE7 at work, when I try to click on quick reply and try to click any of the icons, it wont active, I normally have to click on quote to be able to reply, I didnt think it was a setting in my user CP, and two different PC/Browsers wasnt sure what the problem is.
Um.. why not just download KAISER TWEAK. It has all those annoying options in there so you can tweak them yourself. Do a search for it.
Kaisertweek does fix most of the issues you are talking about and you don't even need to search, all you have to do is LOOK at the first page of the Kasier general forum, it is one of the stickies on the first page.
Good luck with your Kaiser
Ok this fixed most of my issues. I got to check out something else tomorrow and see if I'm still having the problem.

vibrating on startup

is there any way to prevent diamond from vibrating on startup?
thank you!
There probably is but it woudl mean you have to go through the registry to find the relevant keys and adjust them. I myself dont know which keys would do the job but im sure someone here will be able to help you out.
Now this is probably not the answer you are looking for - but why? Not trying to flame or anything, but I've noticed sometimes a lot of energy can be spent on irrelevant problems. With all due respect, this seems like one of those to me.
A bit more to the point - I strongly doubt a registry value can change that - the vibration occurs apparently BEFORE the operating system is loaded, so registry is meaningless at this point.
I think the phone does a self-test....like said before: it does vibrate before the OS loads, so I don't think there is any registery tweak for this

Ya it does, it cheks all the systems on startup. So be worried if it does NOT vibrate, means your vib crappppeddd out.

sure it's one of the less important things...
but for me it's a annoying one because i always let spb-backup do a daily backup (which is rebooting after the job) early in the morning when i'm still sleeping - it was fine with trinity (there i had also to do a reg-tweak to disable startup-animation with sound) - with diamond sometimes i get scared from the vibration...
and yes - i'm not sleeping like a log...

Hehe - I see your point. Not much you can do about it though, I'm afraid.
This being said, if that vibration wakes you up, I really hope your home is VERY soundproof
Or simply put your diamond on or under a pillow.
Obviously there needs to be a movie about those horrible phones that go around terrifying people in their sleep!
That said, presumably you are putting the phone on a hard surface? Try putting it on something soft and wooly. Should significantly cut down the noise from those demonic vibrations.
Don't think there's a way to do that. The Touch Cruise does the same, and no one has figured out a way to disable it there as far as I know.
The issue with putting it on a soft surface to not make noise is (presumably) that if he did get an actual call or message, it would also silence that as well.
Can you change your schedule for SPB Backup to do its thing just as you go to sleep instead of in the middle of the night? Or if you don't always sleep at the same time, kick it off manually just as you go to sleep or step into the shower?
I know these don't solve your question, but are ideas to create the desired outcome
i hope i am not ruining this important topic with my high tech proposal for a solution.....
maybe it will be less stressful if you'll program the back up at a different hour....let's say ....when you are brushing yr teeth in the evening....BEFORE you go to sleep.
the back up (thanks god for SPB backup, it saved my ass so many times) takes only 3-4 minutes. right before you'll go to the lalala world you'll hear the reassuring vibe and you'll fall asleep with a smile on yr face knowing that the job is done.
good night, sweet prince. good night back-uped diamond....
I love how this topic gets so many replied but more usefull problems get none. Got to love the internet
I could code you a microcontroller to ignore any vibration signal for the first 30 seconds from start. All you'd need to do is open your diamond and solder it inside.
Hey its a solution

This phone is driving me nuts

This phone is making me like...crazy!
and this is why:
I synct some playlists to the phone with windows media player 10, suddenly all playlists on my diamond are empty.
When i removed all the playlists on windows media player 10 to sync them again, it deleted all my songs!
now i got all my songs onto the device again, and wanted to alter 1 playlist, it took windows media player 6 minutes, to just alter, replace, 1 pooping playlist!\
Its not possible to remove a playlist created in the touchflo music player itself.
Not able to select it and then delete it.
Half of the icons in the games folder are ****ed up, we already have a thread with solutions(i tried all of them), but none of them worked.
And the performance, even with the tlr rom or whatever the name was, the diamond still goes slow!
And the battery depletes quickly, with auto attach off, and incoming beam off.
Cant receive a file with bluetooth, with incoming beam on or off, it keeps saying my pc is a new device and asks if i want to set a password, no matter if i set a password or not, it goes back to the menu, and still says my pc is a new device
And i used a mod of the diamond tweaks thread, to auto lock my diamond when the screen goed off.
Well, 1/5 times, it autounlocks itself when i turn the screen back on. not good...
And finally, the opera browser is sometimes not doing what i want. sometimes goes to a random place on the page, if i move and let the stylus go, it moves back to that random page, to fix this i need to quit, then restart opera.
This happens about 1/5 times i use opera.
Is this where i payed 481 euro's for...?
Any ideas how to fix this sh!t is welcome, i already did a hard reset to try getting rid of some problems.

theres a whole list of bad things there.
btw: forgot to mention that the diamond stylus made some nasty scratches on the screen when wiping over the screen in opera to scroll page, or goto next photo in touchflo, ect.
Got a protector included for that.
Install a fresh rom, I don't have any of your problems.
I use bluetooth a lot:
Sending files (goes hell fast), don't want to use cable when using .cab files here
For my parrot
For use as a modem (have reached 120kbyte/second) when online with phone!
All flawless.
I have very very good results with HTC's own new rom update via e-club.
TLR nr. 2 was quite buggy at my phone.
GOod luck!

what have you got now may i ask?
Humbly returned to my previous P535.
I must admit that apart from Diamond, there is currently not many devices to choose from on the market... Was thinking about getting P750, but still unsure...
Xperia scares me, mainly because of the unusual screen resolution (dunno how all the apps will handle it) and that also is supposed to be made by HTC...
Maybe Diamond Pro will not suffer from these newborn diseases that my Diamond had - will see...
i think im going for the iphone 3g. will be expensive though...
the touch diamond really disappoints me...

Use the hardware buttons beneath the screen. You can navigate to the playlist you want to delete, and hold the 'enter' button to get the menu to get the 'right mouse button menu'.
Using your fingers it is impossible as it automatically selects the playlist if you press it. No menu will pop up.

What do you mean? It will be much cheaper than the Diamond.
I wonder if you're expecting to install applications on that phone, or do any customization...
Mwahahahahahha!!!!
Another Winer! XD
I'd give this post 5/5 for creativity, 6/5 for whining and -1 for usefullness ^^
you can almost FEEEL that you joined only after buying the phone, and I'd guess that it's your first WM one..
Anyway, regarding your problems..
If your phone really is that bad, it's probably broken (pre-production, grey, some dimwit dropped it in the shop or any other reason). In any case, return it by warranty, and get a new one..
Having so many people love this phone, and being able to fix the issues.. and only you and a handful of others run around whining.. Surely it's obvious that it's either a lack of hands.dll or a simple hardware failure..
I mean you should be smart enough to grasp it.... ermm.. right?
Cheers
P.S. Oh, and please don't be offended by this post.. It was mainly inspired by your post anyway, but it was written half-jokingly as I couldn't really answer seriously to that amount of QQ
@ 205_laCoste...
You're my hero.
Had a lot of trouble removing two playlists, but using the hardware buttons solved it right away....
Thank You!
I'm ready to throw my diamond out the window, for pretty much the same reasons. I paid way too much money to have so many problems. And I shouldn't have to flash a new rom. It should be good to go out of the box.
Before I'm also accused of being a whiner, there is a plethora of posts of people having the same problems....with no solutions. The bluetooth issue is a biggie. I tweak my phone to enhance it, but I shouldn't have to be a programmer to simply make it function properly. To suggest that is just arrogant.
There are things that I absolutely love about this phone, but simply as a phone it sucks.
most of the time it is not the fault of the phone but the person
using it.
a lot of people have come here after having a normal phone and
dont understand how to use this one.
treat it more like a computer than a phone.you dont have to be
a programer you just have to know how to read a thread and
follow the directions.
if you have a 1.37 rom you need to upgrade it to a 1.93.
1.37 is crap.okay it shouldnt have been but it was that why
it was upgraded to 1.93.
if you still dont get it then sell the phone.go buy a fruit
phone and get ripped off just like all the other sheep out there.
I have to stand up for nursie here. I've returned my diamond several months ago (yeah, it was driving me nuts) and am happily living with my P750... these offenses are absolutely not necessary and untrue as well as uncritically extolling the device - gee, it's just another PDA

I have to agree, to an extent.
It's generally accepted on here that the Diamond is badly configured out of the box, which is why new users are recommended to flash a new ROM. This is not a good thing, although it's great we have such a good community of chefs to help solve the problem.
What's less well accepted is that much of the HTC software on the Diamond is slow and awkward. I'm talking about TF3D and the HTC dialer in particular, get rid of them and you can make the Diamond a great little phone just like your P750.

I upgraded to 1.93. And I'm quite proficient at reading and researching. I'm also very proficient with current technology. I get it. What you don't get is that a consumer spending big bucks on this phone shouldn't have to resort to advanced tweaks (which I understand, BTW...you won't find me here asking newbie questions) in order to bring the phone up to basic performing standards.
Again.....yours is a fine example of ignorance masking itself as arrogance.

Touch screen dead??!

I tried to install something on the phone, and it restarted my phone all of a sudden and now the touch screen doesnt work at all!! &/#& im pissed. Anyone know what i can do?

Yeah. Although im not on that crapsite anymore. I think i got this going right now. Just waiting for my phone to charge as i read that it should have more than 50% charge on it. Flying Trickster is a somewhat popular name on the worldwideweb, too, though
I flashed with the official 1.93 ROM, and installed everything back on. Changed every single tweak i had made etc etc. My god it took a while. But i must admit. The 1.93 rom is wicked fast compared to the old one
