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.

what do you mean?
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!

Spare yourself next trouble to come and sell it, as I did with mine

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.

Whats wrong with my Diamond :(

hey guys
have been a reader more than a poster on this awesome site..
but i have run into some trouble :/
within the past week, everytime my phone gets slightly hot, the screen alignment goes totally out.. like really out..
for example i manage to open the notes app..
if i tap the extreme left side, the draw tool will draw in either the center, or even far right.. its extremely frustrating.
Happens mostly after a phone call, using gps, or plugging phone into usb/charging..
im using Panosha's 2.2 full
Radio .05
I have tried loading the original HTC rom that came with the phone... no difference..
any help would be greatly appreciated
oh, and i do re-align... 10-15 times a day..
when the phone is cool, it runs like a dream

When you have the same probs with the htc original rom, then it has nothing to do with a cooked roms :-(

exactly what mine does
even right after a screen re-align
sigh

ok, thanks dude
will take it in and hopefully get a replacement

another example of what mine is doing pretty much to the T
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhQIyqnTkS4&feature=user
if anyone may have a solution.. please let me know asap.. as i will try taking it in on saturday
thanks guys

damn, mine does the same from time to time!
does anybody have a solution?
did a replacement fix the problem?

unfortunately i havnt had a chance to take it in yet, but i have logged the problem with my service provider..
the problem occurs alot more when i used panosha's rom/s
with the default (and now alphazero) the problem seems less frequent, but definitely still happens..
happened badly yesterday when i used gps to get my girlfriend to a casting, but switched on car A/C and after 5 minutes it was cool again *shrug*
its really annoying though
will let u know when i finally get to taking it in, unless u get there first

Hi there, I have the exactly problem what you had. Whenever the machine is hot, it becomes mad. Any solution could be reslove the problem?

It really sounds like a hardware issue... When you return the phone to the store please flash back to the original stock rom (for warranty purposes )

same problem
i am getting he same alignment problem.i do it many times a day but still tapping somewhere on screen taps the other way.very difficult to dial phone numbers

i dont think its an hardware issue,as after i align it works fine for few hours and then i have to align again to make the taps work acurately.........i have heard there is a cab file for it.if any one can post it here.........................or make a cab file so that clicking it makes the alignment as it was default with the new phone

It is a hardware issue. the screen somehow (usually when carried in front pants pocket) will get pressed and SHIFTED. Then screen pushes against the side-cover and this fools the touch-sensitivity of the screen. Try yourself - try to shift screen to one or other side, and directly after it will be better. it's still a service matter though. Send it for repair.

This is a known issue. You need to exchange the unit for a new one.

hey guys...
so late last year i took the phone in and it spent 3 weeks at leaf (HTC distributer here is south africa)
i got the phone back, turned it on in the store.. and guess what... still screwed..
i threw my toys to say the least and got a brand new phone..
the new phone was 110% up until 2 weeks ago..
it started doing the same damn thing (to a lesser extent)
i have found that its a connection problem..
the touch pad is very all over the place if used normally (so basically its unusable)
but if i hold down the top left of the phone(pushing down just above the start menu) with my left hand and use my fingers on my right.. the phone works perfectly again..
does anyone know how to fix this?
its so frustrating, especially knowing im going to be without it for 3 weeks or more again

hmmm ...
i heard that the radio-part is for managing the curcuits.
try an other rom.
but i cant give garanty, i hard it only.

Hardware Buttons (Virus?)

I was browsing the internet with Opera Mini when my just popped up and started to recording my voice. Since then it keep started popping up the voice recorder and keeped recording my voice, and for some reason my hardware buttons don't work anymore(including the keyboard). There is one button that works and that is the action button but for some reason it functions as a windows button(button for popping up the start screen). I tried everything (hard resetting, reflashing etc.) but it still keeps popping up the voice recorder. is this a virus or something? I'm sure it dind't had to do with the site becouse it is a very much used site by WoW players (Allakhazam). So I would be really happy if somebody helps me, I don't want a second broke HTC (R.I.P. my Elf)

Edit:
For those who want to know, I'm using the HyperDragon III BlackStone OS 5.2.20757 Build 20757.1.4.0 ROM

i don't think it's a virus simply because hard-resetting or reflashing will get rid of it. It might be a problem with your hardware itself i.e the buttons malfunctioning and not working right.
i really don't know what to suggest to you asides from taking the device to a cellphone repair shop and see what they say.

I think i give up and go to HTC. First I went to a GSM repair shop but they couldn't help me becouse they can't do anything with a HTC (Just like all the others). Later I found out that if I press the camera button, my scroll and arrow buttons work again so I thought it couldn't be something with the hardware. Well I flashed my SPL, ROM and Radio but it didn't work. So I'm going to flash my Kaiser back in original state and bring it to HTC.

It works again!!
IT WORKS!!
For some reason my phone works again. I was sliding my keyboard of my phone when i noticed something. I noticed the screen was for some reason lower to the keyboard. So I started my Kaiser (for the 1xxx time, you'll never know) and it worked again!
EDIT
It doesn't work . I resetted my device de next morning and everyhting was the same again. But I've found a way to stop the voice recorder. I've changed the buttun 6 to none. But that means that buttun 6 is stuck or something but the only problem is I don't know where button 6 is.

Hi I am having very similar symptoms, all buttons except the middle front are not working. When booted the sound recorder starts (I've deactivated that button too).
There is another thread here with similar problems

calling all dev's for help or anybody that can help

Well guy i hope im putting this in the right thread so here we go. Ok wel im having this major issue withe the touchscreen and multitouch so im gonna explain how i got to this point i change the audible selection(effect_tick.ogg) right and i did the code on terminal emulator so after expiriencing the sound of the blackberry storm it was kool but notice that it was double cliking and everytime i scroll the screen on the app drawer or even on astro it clicks on the app by it self when i didnt touch it i have tried many different roms and still i down grade the rom still having the same problem i reformat my sdcard and all partition (fat32,ext2,linux-swap)nothing hasnt help ..................... i tried to see if if there was any caliberation for the phone nothing the only rom that has calibration was the hero rom has anybody had this problem . Thanks hope some one can solve my problem .

You sure you haven't dropped your phone? sounds like a hardware problem. What ROM are you on?

I did drop my phone but it was working just fine this happend just after I did the change of sound of the audible selection but thank's for time of reading is really hard to explain with word when u type them too lol im was using jacxhero 1.4 when i did that but now im on cyaonigen 4.0.1 i think thats his name

Strange Slow Down Issue

hi
plz tell me if any one hv solution for this.
I hv m1000 wid Broken screen which i hv replaced today and updated my m1000 from WM5 to WM6. But the Start Menu takes 20-25 seconds to pop up. All other Menu like Tap and hold are also taking same time to popup. volume Bubble aslo hv same issue and there is no sound. Every thing else is working fine like file explorer, other programs , phone ETC.
I hv tried these
1. Switch back to old LCD .(No luck)
2. Switch back to different wm5 and wm6 rom. (same issue)
3. Switch back to wm3 Rom.(Every thing works well)
4. Too many Hard Reset.(no luck)
5. Battery Removal for long time.(no luck)
6. DOC re partitioning.(no luck)
GOT MY DEVICE FIXED
Thanks to all here for their support. I got my device fixed. Problem was in my New Lcd it has a faulty Belt which only works if some pressure is applied on it so i putted a rubber behind it and now it is working. But bad luck is that i hv given the Positive feedback for that LCD on ebay.

hi
Ye i had the same issue. Keep reflashing until a rom gets to a decent speed then reflash back to the rom you want.
Or it might be that the rom is not for himalaya?
Definately keep reflashing.
it worked with me
BTW: The rom in the signature picture is wrong i think.
My rom is WM 6.5 CE OS 5.2.23409.5.4.0 by zjw831

Thanks for ur reply.
I hv reflashed alot but the problem is still there But One of Ather's Rom is working little good. at that rom Start Menu is working But no Sound and Other POPUP Menus are still Very Slow.
And signatures are not wrong cause i hv 4 devices.

it could be a faulty RAM, or you screwed the device too hard or too lose, try to check that

hi bro
i hv tried a Pdaviet Rom now all the things r working except Sound. if i play a mp3 file media player shows Error that "device attached to system is not functioning". And if the device is loose or tight it will also not worked wid WM3. it is working flawlessly wid WM3.

hi nd thnks for ur support.But how a faulty device works in WM3.and will a faulty Ram behave differently with diff. roms?

It´s because diffent parts of the memory are used. Look at aeroflylubys kitchen. He has got an equal issue with broken ram. He can´t flash/use WM6.5 anymore. On WM 6.1 everything works fine. Strange, but not impossible! Good Luck.
PS: As Senior I guess you know how to hard reset, as it differs from Wm2k3!

hey I hv just open my device nd chk for any physical damage. But nothing is there. And after re-assembling
1. Sound Works.
2. No slowdown at all.
3. Backlight Goes permanently off. (during boot also)
I hv tried the wm3 rom now it has sound but no backlight and no TOUCH in wm3.

It is a hardware issue, for sure!
Check the wires between TS and MB, but be carefull. One mistake and you will wreck your device!

yep, its a hardware issue, try to re-assemble it
if you want, i can link you with a PDF Guide
