hi .. i am using the 02 xda diamond and a severe problem showed up yesterday : i tried to call someone but he couldnt hear my voice when i was speaking, then he called me back and :
1.) the phone didnt ring, same for SMS
2.) he couldnt hear my voice, again (mic was on )
so i made a soft reset and everything was fine. phone ringed, i could phone .. today : its the same like yesterday. is this a known bug or something ? i didnt change the rom. the only think i worked on was the file cache using advanced config 2.x.
Well, first things first, I'd download the new advancedconfig 3.0 and use the "restore all settings" option, see if that fixes it. Then you can at least know the problem is in one of your settings, and be careful reapplying tweaks. Not a known problem as far as I know, haven't seen it before. Good luck.
Poor Microphone Quality
Hi,
I am having the same problem with my Diamond. Whether I call or recieve a call, I can hear everything fine but the sound quality (my voice) for the other person is almost unbearable. It sounds like I'm standing in a wind tunnel...
I've applied the tweaks to speed up Touch Flo 3D...
Are there any tweaks to improve microphone quality?
ROM Info is:
ROM: 1.37.405.1 WWE
ROM date: 06/10/08
Radio Version: 1.00.25.03
Protocol Ver: 52.26a.25.09H
I would try a backup and after this an hard-reset. If this does not work, you could try to record something with the voice-recorder. If this does not work to, it could be microphone-related - perhaps something, which blocks the little hole for the mic at the bottom of the device?
I hope you'll have success!
Ive had that several times since the original XDA, official ROMS mostly, anyhow, usually after updating it with something new it stops and for that reason ive only ever had it happen a few times on different XDAs
Same
I am suffering from same problems.
Have updated my ROM to one of the un-official ones
its called 'SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-ROM-v6.0'
Still having the odd problem here and there.
Major annoyance really.
Any of you guys had any luck?
Thanks
Mick
I have the XDA Ignito & have updated to Dutty's ROM. I have the same issue with several poeple complaining that me voice cuts out & the have to piece together the conversation.
I am going to ring o2 tommorow & try to send it back as I am fed up with the battery life which doesn't last 12 hours & now this!
I have the same problem, got my telephone 3 days ago and people are complaining, it sounds like i am in a very windy place.
I got the Touch Pro telephone.
Has there come any good solution to this problem ? Or is the only thing to delivery it back an get a Nokia instead ?
I have the same problem with my Diamond too
Whenever I call or if somebody calls me they can barely hear me. I have to really talk very loud or speak directly to the microphone.
Test using the Voice Recorder and the results are the same.
Got my Touch Pro fixed now i think... All it seems to be was a Hard Reset. The sound is perfect now after the reset.
Microphoe volume very low
Anybody know how to fix this problem? The microphone volume is very low in my Diamond. Please, help me.
Hello,
I now own my Kaiser for about one year (or a little less). But I'm still not satisfied about the overall speed of the device. I'm not talking about reading videos or playing games, just about "normal" use of the Kaiser.
For exemple, opening the HTC phone application (dial pad) takes around 3 seconds. Then, if I dial a number quickly, it "forget" some buttons I pushed. I need to dial my number slowly for the phone to take each button I push ... This is very frustrating !
Another exemple is going to landscape mode which takes 4 seconds ! And when it is in landscape, my Kaiser is like freezed for about 2 other seconds before I can use it.
A 3rd exemple, when answering calls: my Kaiser rings, I press the green button to answer, but it takes around 2-3 seconds before it does really answer. In the mean time, I sometimes loose my call, and this is really frustrating again !
I know I'm only talking about seconds, but I use my Kaiser a lot in a day, and these seconds become minutes ! And when I need to use my Kaiser quickly, these seconds appear much longer than they really are.
My ROM is the original HTC 6.1 ROM. My Kaiser is as light as possible (no Manilla 2D !), but it does not seem to be enough for my Kaiser to be fast.
I tried some cooked ROMS, but from what I experienced the HTC 6.1 is the faster. I also tweaked my Kaiser with all the informations I could find on this great forum (and KaiserTweak)
I would really enjoy an overclocker utility but it does not exist.
So, about you, are you satisfied with your Kaiser speed ?
Isn't there days where you would throw it against a wall because of these anoying lags ?
Thanks !
If this damn thing eats another microSD card I AM going to throw it against the wall. I'm getting tired of loosing my crap and having to re-do everything.
what about the speed of your ka
iser : is it ok for you ?
No complaints about the "speedyness" of the tilt after flashing to a good ROM. If another one fails I'm sending it back and demanding an upgrade to a Fuze tho.
i haven't had mine for very long but I got a little over-excited in the first few weeks and installed anything i could get my hands on. i just did a hard reset, followed by a soft reset to remove the bloatware, and i've noticed that my phone is a lot faster.
your problems do sound infuriating, have you tried backing up your data and wiping the slate clean?
Dear,
Same problems as yours... Using same rom from HTC !
Very slow phone for each task i need
Boring phone when hang-up or dialing, boring when using tt6 and now tt7 (too slow when driving in little streets, and sometimes truncating voices messages), and more generally, very very slow (and i do not speak about camera).
Sure, this version is really a big bug
Comparing to other kind of phones, even cheaper models runs better (camera better and faster, gps fix faster, gps available even in flight mode.
Usually, when opening keyboard, applications hangs due to the screen rotation, and become available a long time after
Definitively, a real diseapointing device.
I'm now waiting for the renewal of my phone contract to change for something better (sure that is not difficult to find)
Regards,
Laurent
I highly recommend flashing a custom rom.
The rom chef's have done a fantastic job tweaking them to run much faster than the stock roms. Try on and you'll never look back.
I'm currently using the Nov 15'th Hyperdragon Rom and I have virtually no complaints about the speed of the rom for day to day activities. M2D runs very smoothly and is much more friendly to your fingers than any of the stock roms I've used.

Thanks a lot ! i did the hard reset followed by the soft reset , then I restored my data : now my Kaiser goes faster ! thanks again !
I have the same issue, not that the kaiser is really slow, but when I compare it with a Wizard (both have custom roms) the Wizard does things a lot faster, like opening start menu, scrolling isn't laggy, change tabs is fast. No matter what rom I use on my kaiser, I can't get to the use speed of the Wizard. Maybe it is because I install programs on the SD instead of the phone itself?
Nothing to Compare to
I don't have anything to really compare to, but my Kaiser - Bloatware removed - seems to work well. My only real complaint is that ending a call with the touchscreen takes a few seconds, but the red end key ends it pretty quick. If there is a delay on some things, it is far outweighed by the functionality I feel I'm getting from my tilt. I use it as primary pc - email, web, movies, word, excel, etc..
I tell people it is a mini computer with a phone added on as an afterthought. That is why with comes with such a crappy phone interface. I downloaded a new skin and it looks and works excellent.

Call ending speed can be instant. Use Kaiser Tweak / Advanced Config tool to change this.
I noticed a marked improvement since I use some of the SKTools utilities like:
- Optimize! http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html
- FreeUP RAM Service http://s-k-tools.com/?m_freeuprams.html
- Registry optimization http://s-k-tools.com/?/sktools/m_regopt.html
It has many other features and you can download a trial. It's really worth a try.
dear all,
how can you say that the kaiser isnot slow ?
I use PIE to read this forum, this thread takes 30 to 40 sec to load for 470 kB, while it takes few seconds to dowload bigger files !
I only use pie,tt7 and outlook sync for contacts and appointments.
I also tested 3 roms and tried to tweak some settings, without getting a normal speed.
kaiser is definitively a slow computer with a phone.
basic phones are more responsives than kaiser on many bundled applications.
I do think that kaiser has a lake of something... Maybe some drivers are missing, because if you look at the internal chipset used inside the kaiser, it should very very more powerfull

Please enlighten me, because I hate this. I have to push the button multiples times to disconnect. I have SK Tools as well. It has many good features, unfortunately some of the things it recommends tweaking I have idea what those things are for. I need the cheat sheet for invalid registry entries and values.
I do experience what you describe and I've tried many different ROMs, right now I'm using Garmin.Dk 8 without Manila2d and all the "speed fixes" available.
It's just like that, it has Windows...
But on the other hand, I like that, because it makes it very customizable.
Depends on what you value most.

I had the same issue with dialing numbers. It pissed me off so much I bought an iPhone. I don't have issues with dialing numbers now. I really miss running custom ROMs though.
The iPhone has a lot of other issues, I put up with them because the web browsing experience is better and I can dial without loosing numbers. I wish HTC would get it together, they are very close... I tried a Sprint HTC Touch Pro for a couple of days and couldn't get used to the missing dpad.

And you just hang around the Kaiser forum with your iPhone 'cause you miss us?
dear Spaul,
Windows is not the problem... Other htc phones have Windows and are fast. i.e. TYTN I is faster !
Problem is software, maybe drivers or hardware layer

He has to keep up because he realizes the other 99% of the WM functionality is missing on his new phone and he'll want to come back.
Same thing here
Yeah I experience exactly the same things with mine. I'm not going out the custom ROM path, since it's a company phone. After having tried all sorts of things, I've kind of just accepted its slowness.
But one thing is for sure. After using first the s710, and the the tytn-ii, I'm 95% sure that my next phone is not going to be a HTC, unless I see some very convincing real life demo of the device.
I have managed to get M$-Voip working, but when the screen goes black so does my call. Also, when the screen goes black no amount of touching keys will bring it back from standby, but if I slide the keyboard unit it will come back out of its crypt ( i think the wifi drops). I had initially installed SPL-1.00-OliPof or what not, and upon discovering that is an old piece of software I upgraded to HardSPL-3.29 [through jumpspl-1.5x] hoping that this would relieve my issue. The SPL upgrade was after a radio upgrade, and the radio upgrade [er downgrade from a 1.7x rom to a 1.6x rom made the camera and phone work ]. At this point, I'm not sure if this is a OS rom issue, or Radio Rom issue. My oem setup had 3.57 within a version number if that is any thing I believe it was for the OS rom, other than that I cannot be sure of anything else. Bringing me to ask, are radio roms for the kaiser dependant upon minor hardware alterations between kaiser models, or are they more dependent on the alterations contained within the software side of things ( SPL's, Os Rom's )?
(I have a at&t tilt 8925 (kais 100) )
Also any suggestions in getting this phone where it should be would be greatly accepted. I am hoping to get the best graphics I can, the best speed I can bargain for, while maintaining the native voip capabiltiy unless someone can recommend a good voip client that integrates well into the phone I tried fring but it doesn't have a keypad [WTF?!] (i.e. your in voice mail and need to press 2 to hear your mail, no keypad makes me feel impotent at such junctures)..But yes right now my main issue is this display-standby problem..
Thank you!
Ty
You could use this DontSleep to stop it going to sleep add it to a hardware button for quick access "Start\Settings\Buttons", you could try and use advanced config but not sure if voip calls are the same as voice.
Yeah maybe I will look into that for an extremely temporary workaround. But, I don't want kill my tilt by pulling the keyboard in and out to see whats up. Seriously it just dies black and stays that ways. so uncool.

Sorry i was under the impression that it only does the black screen during VOIP but your actually having this issue all the time when the phone goes into sleep.
Hi there,
my girlfriend owns an o2 XDA Diamond aka HTC Diamond.
Shes totally annoyed by the screen-lock function.
When the screen is locked and some kind of event appears (e.g. incoming text message or an alarm) the lock seems to fall into some undefined state:
- sceen dark
- you can see the softbuttons for the event (e.g. Read new message and reply)
- you cannot push them, as the screen is locked.
- you cannot unlock the screen trough the pen.
Only thing that helps in those cases is a soft-reset.
This problem happens quite often ... she has to reboot the phone at least two or three times a day ...
The other problem is the overall performance of the UI (is it Manila?)
Is there a faster version than the stock version? Is it possible to install the sense UI on the diamond?
Hope these can be solved without having to flash a whole new Rom?
What are your experience with the battery?
Hers had to be replaced after two days of usage because it became hot an discharged really fast.
Same problem appeard again a few days ago.
Is there any 3rd-party battery with better performance?
Thank you guys for any hint.
Regarding the battery
from personal experience older original roms seemed to be more of a problem then the actual battery, with bad power and radio management resulting in the battery to quickly overheat. make sure you always have the latest original rom installed if youdon't want to run homebrews, you can ofc find these on the official htc homepage.
