During an incoming call the display shows only "unknown" for about 3 seconds before the name appears.
Any one else experienced this?
I'm not experienced this..
Maybe, its related by wrong number format.. Change all contacts number to int. format..

Maybe you have attached a large size photo to your contact and it is the time i needs to be loaded.
All numbers are in INT format already and I have no images attached?
This also happened on a earlier ROM
I have the same problem - I have to wait for a few seconds before I know who's calling - a little suprising considdering the processing power the Diamond has?
So - having said that - I'm also not convinced that this thread belongs in the Rom Development space - could we move it to the standard Diamond board please?
I only realised this problem occur today - it's never happend before.. maybe it's an on-off thing.
Ah - i am not along then with this issue...
Apologies for posting in the wrong section - I thought i clicked on the Diamond thread
it happens for me all the time. anyone knows how to fix?

Me to, bloody annoying problem, never had this issue on any other smart/PDA phone
Same here for me. Numbers are all entered in the correct format in my address book (+316xxxxxxx), and the caller's number is displayed exactly the same. Even so, it takes the TD a few seconds to identify the caller. No picture added to the person.
Very annoying... Makes me think the TD is sluggish.
Official ROM: 1.37.404.xx NL
same here
i thinck its delay from Diamond and maybe there are rigestry key for this delay
who will find it
I am also having this issue...
same here with me rom
same here on me rom
I have it too. And it was the same for all the other ROM's I had (1.35xxx.1, 1.37.xxx.2 and the newest 1.37.xxx.3)
I think is something related to Windows and the time needed to identify the contact. I have about 300 contacts...it could be due to this reason (therefrore the contact lookup is slow)? The others that have tha same problem...do you also have many contacts? Or it makes the same even with 20 contacts,...

I've got 103 contacts, some of them with multiple phone numbers. I doubt whether the number really matters. In my last WM5 phone it was no problem.
Move along boys, there isnt such issue with the DIamond its an awsome phone.
p.s: I am having the same issue with my Diamond
same problem here.
the flashing light comes on almost instantly, but, the ring and contact name delays ~3secs. sometimes, i saw it is unknown caller, then, converted to the contact name.
waiting for a solution.
Don't think the number of contacts has anything to do with it. i have about 5 (just installed the new rom and no free time ) And I have the same problem. It's iritating, because it already takes a lot of time before the ringtone goes of (2 sec.) and then I have to take it out of my jeans and out of its pouch.
Just a old tip I remembered from my BB time which had somewhat similar issue.
Go to Contacts, menu -> Properties.
Check that Area Code is set correctly. (without + or 00).
Might be nothing, but worth a try.
I did have this problem but noticed it does not happen anymore after I flashed to bElite ROM
Hi,
I've tried searching the forums but couldn't find an answer to my problem - and that is, whenever i receive an email (i've setup my gmail account), and the phone is on standby mode, the phone fails to wake up to notify me (and only does so once i turn the phone back on). So is there any way for my gmail emails to get pushed into my inbox, rather than having to refresh? There is no issue with the similar SMS problem, though.
Any recommendations guys? Any help would be great!
Same here...
Would really like to see the solution!
what rom are you using with this issue?
My Diamond has hardly ever notified me of new retrieved pulled emails till I wake it up and see it connected, it works one in whilte.
The rom...
Standard UK Orange rom for me...
Standard O2 ROM for me (1.93)
anyone...?
have you set your alerts in sounds->advanced? maybe try to add vibrate as well as alert.
emails are stored server-side and not sent to your phone. You get them by asking the server. Since wifi and applications are disabled during sleep mode, no, this won't work.
It is however possible if you pay for a push-mail provider. But regular pop/smtp won't do the trick. (or a cooked rom which is capable of reactivating wifi while on sleep and triggering the server once in a while (I doubt anyone could do this, it is actually possible, but probably not due to the hardware restrictions we have), but hey, this would cost you a lot of money, even if you don't receive any mails).
edit: after a little search, there is apparently some free mail provider that seem to provide free push-mail, including hotmail. Search free push mail on google.
Using Advanced Config 3.2 you can enable Wi-Fi while in Standby mode....
you need to reg edit the following two items:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power\Timeouts]
"BattResumingSuspendTimeout"=1
"ACResumingSuspendTimeout"=1
by default they are set to 1 on my dimond. i think 1 represents the time an app is allowed to try to start during sleep. one for when on battery and one for when on charger. i changed mine to 15 and now i get evey email notification even while the phone is sleeping. give it a try and let me know your results.
This would drain the battery like hell

i have done this on my phone and it has had no noticeable effect on battery life. my touch had these reg edits set at 15 from stock. i guess i should point out i am using the CDMA version of these phones.
O2 forwards all my Emails to my Diamond via MMS.
Most of the time it did NOT receive those MMS until i woke it up from standby (pushing the button on top to turn on the display). Then a load of MMS came to my inbox.
So i set both values on my Diamond to 15 and it looks like it helped this problem.
NOW the MMSs come in even with Diamond in standby (just like i was used to from my HTC Wizard).
And i can NOT see any big difference in battery life after one week of testing those values.
Hi Silence69
I agree with Blazeitup123 you should go to settings - all settings - personal - sounds & notificatios - notifications - event then & set a new email notification (alert).
I have a standard rom & have set my email to be checked every 30 minutes & notify me of new emails with an alert. Ok the screen does not light up but if I am not near it to hear the alert the phone will of gone back to 'standby mode' anyway.
Hope this helps.

Hello!
I can confirm the problem and solution. My mails are fetched from gmail by an umts connection. It takes about 12 seconds when I start a manual Send/Receive until the mails are fetched. If I set the values below 10 I never get my mails since the diamond suspends to early.
Also I have noticed that when the vales are to low I sometimes get just the flashing ring. Apparently it takes another 2-3 seconds to start the audible alert and vibration.
These timeout values are used to terminate background processing which for example is required for mail fetching. If your diamond does not fetch mails when suspended or does not give you an audible notification try to increase the values. Currently I use 20 seconds.
hope this helps
Any news ?
trying this tonight
This works perfectly and solved this issue on my device, thanks.
Just a thankyou to gmvmg/captspaulding1000 as this has solved the exact same problem!
Hi,
does anybody here use PocketShield?
I experience a strange problem - time to time when I unlock my phone the whole top bar disappears. The Start button, the Close button...everything.
I can't do anything with the phone - the only solution seems to be to navigate to the programs tab (via TF3D), select All programs and run the Lock - this locks the phone again and when I unlock it then suddenly my top bar is back. It seems to be completely random.
I know that there is a forum on the developers site but I was wondering if any of the bright minds here could help me ;-)
I am running the 2.0.6.2 free version.
I will try to post it to the official forum as well.
Cheers.

Mine locks up when Gyrator2 tries to rotate the screen on incoming calls. Really annoying. I want to be able to rotate my screen in most programs, but it always seems to screw up my incoming calls and creates more lag...I'm gonna try to go back to sensorlock instead of pocketshield...

I had to same problem. I had Gyrator2 running which rotated the screen and screwed up Pocketshield screen.
I put an Event in Gyrator2 to disable rotation when in PShield screen.
The Event should be the same as Manila's except application/window title is "PShield"
That fix the problem.
i get odd issues as well
I agree, I get odd issues as well. I get the occassional hang, crash, missing bar etc. I uninstall pocketshield and I don't get issues. I'm using NATF 2.3 rom. I paid for it and it worked ok for a while until I noticed these intermittent problems...

I created a rule in Gyrator almost immediately after installing PS - I didn't want it to rotate the PS screen.
I left it up to Gyrator to get the window name and now my rule is set for the window #NETCF_AGL_BASE_.
But my problem is not in rotating, my problem is in unlocking (at least I think so). Anyway, will try to change the window name to PShield and see if it makes any difference.
EDIT
Nope it didn't. The top bar disappeared again during the first seconds of my testing :-(

Thank you my friend for letting me know. If this is indeed fixed I don't mind paying the $13. Will check it right now.
New version available today - but it's not working correctly. after I use the slide bars one time to ignore a call, every call after that is missing the slide bar (answer and ignore soft buttons are there though) and when caller hangs up before I take any action PS just sits there, like it's stuck. Sounds like the same problems you describe earlier.
Im using PocketShield, but I was wondering - the phone always locks after I insert the stylus (I have Touch HD), after a while PocketShield kicks in and after that if I want to unlock the device, I first have to unlock the "normal" lock and then the PocketShield. Really annying.
Is there a way to disable the lock after stylus insertion?

actually i just experience this an hour ago.. also every time I slide the keyboard to unlock my Fuze the screen freezes on the landscape mode. all keys on the keyboard besides the windows key. I hope they fix these bugs right away..
I have the same problem with the top bar disappearing. I'm not running Gyrator or anything like that. I'll try a new version when the bugs mentioned have been ironed out. It is a great product though. I do like it.
Are any of these being posted in the PocketSheild forum? They need to know the bugs.

i seems that when slide to answer is activated PSPP some calls get answered automatically... and it takes me to the "talking" screen immediately.
any help on this issue would be super!
I'm having other issues with PocketShield. I didn't have this same problem with version 2.0.6.3, but with version 2.1 I started to have problems with my alarm notification. When the alarm goes off, it just quickly vibrates once and just stops if it's in a locked state. Also, I noticed a heavy battery drain issue--the battery charge would drop about 10% each hour. Once I uninstalled it, the problems with the alarm and battery drain stopped.
Even with the new version (2.1.0.1) I still have problems answering phone calls. I'll slide to answer and the phone just keeps ringing. I hit the "Send" key and nothing happens. I hit the "Answer" soft key and still nothing....
Anyone else still see these problems?
I have a different issue, when phone is not locked and I have an incoming phone call, pocket shield kicks in and shows me "lock screen" where I have to slide to unlock the device and only then I get the standard "Incoming call" screen...
v2.1.0.1
Major Problems
Well I was gonna pay for it but their payment server seems to be phishing site. Also it crashed SQB and when I uninstalled it, the program removed my outlook email account. Sorry but looks like malicious program so going back to an old sensor lock. I did like the software interface but Paypal confirmed me, so I shouldn't need to give you my personal information to pay for the software. No shipping means I am not giving you my phone number and address, etc. Sorry too many questionable things going on for a screen lock... rule is KISS and since this programmer isn't doing that then dump it off my device is my rule.

Hi all.
I have discovered a problem with an X1.
When recieving a SMS, It will not display I have a new text message...or sms icon on the top title bar.
However, If I go into the messaging.. I will find.. that i have indeed had a new text.
sometimes.. i can check my phone front screen many times..and then only if i go into messaging, will i see the text has actually come ages ago..but no notifications on homescreen or titlebar...but once into messaging... it will show...in blue.. one new sms.
It the stock r3a rom..and no hardspl/anything else installed or on.
I have hard reset, and tried it with zero apps installed...however, it still does it.
Anyone else come across this issue? or more so.. a fix?
Same thing here
I also experienced the same problem. So, if i received a message, but i don't wake my phone, it wont give any sound or any notification. But if i wake it up, there will be a notification about it, although it was sent an hour ago.
Has anyone find the solution for this?
THx
I had a problem a while ago in which the the notifier in Xperia panel would say I have new messages but when I open the message-inbox there's nothing there. So I only recieved texts 10% of the time, very very annoying and I had T-Mobile send it back because it wouldn't work properly even after using SE update service.
Seems like nobody reading this post. LOL
Or nobody has the same problem...
Is everyone experiencing this problem using T-Mobile?
Maybe this is the issue?
Maybe some app you installed is causing the problem. My notifications are working fine and Voice Command even reads them. I have the new Christian WM6.5.

Stock Rom
nothing installed at all. It has just been to SE for repair on Keyboard sticking issue... keys would re-repeat..and have to really depress the space bar.
This is now resolved...but the SMS notification issue still exists.
I wondered if those others suffering also... had A T-Mobile sim.?
Mine is a Generic_UK device and was purchased outright for £500 from expansys...and has not been flashed in anyway except official upgrades. (work device... my personal device is flashed more times than i would care to admit.)
For what it's worth, my boyfriend has the same problem, and he's on AT&T.

Why is it we are having multiple problems with this issue... and no one really has ever addressed it?
Seems to be an issue that is fundamental to a phone nowadays..
I once had the problem that indeed the notification popped up but the message was not stored in the sms directory. Anyway, installing a new rilphone and radio solved that problem for me. Why don't you try different rilphones or radio if you did not already?
Sorry that I can't really help here...
Hello,
I've been having a problem with a few of the custom builds (Timor, AthineOS, CellPro Evo), and one problem I've noticed with each of the ones I've used is that when I get a text it doesn't notify until I wake the screen back up. Once I do that it vibrates and rings, but its up 30min after I got the text. Is this a known problem with a fix or am I better off sticking with a stock ROM?
Thank You
Funny you mention this, because I'm having the same problem. I thought it may have been a tweak I'd done and was going to do a hard reset today.
The only cab I've installed is Microsoft MyPhone. And had to edit the reg to allow the changing of the notification light timing in the Sounds & Notifications settings.
Do you know if this happens before you've made any changes to settings or installed any software on the phone? I don't recall having any problems like that myself with Timor installed, but I'm also not sure I received a text in that time. I haven't tried the other ROMs you listed.
It seemed to happen after I edited the reg settings.
Doesn't seem to be a constant occurance though. I happened to me 12 hours ago, even after a soft reset. But now I just sent a test message to myself, and all is ok... weird
Well I've regularly installed My Phone, Marketplace, Bing, Groovefish, and MP3 Trimmer, but I'd rather not delete and hard reset everything to do a test if someone knows a fix
I haven't had this issue...I am using the Valkrie Firestorm 5 and even when my phone is sleeping my phone vibrates as I get SMS messages and emails...
Well I have hard reset and held off installing using the My Phone. Everything seems well with recieving on time...but now the screen turns on everytime i get a message. It didn't used to do that and I find it quite annoying..I looked around my settings and Advanced Config and couldn't find anything.
It happens in the stock HTC rom too.
It normally doesn't happen if you come out of the text messages and go back to the home screen after you reply to someone. It's a really annoying bug
Me too...
I thought it was the result of all the hacking, tweaking and breaking I've been doing on this flash since I've been using it as a "scratch pad" but the problem you are all describing sounds identical.
I will also second the Home screen suggestion. Hit 'End' after you are done messing with the phone to go back to the Home screen. There is definitely a notification bug related to not alarming/vibrating when not on Home screen.
Though I have observed this issue, this does not completely explain my problems. Sometimes I don't actually even receive the SMS or MMS until the next day or after rebooting my phone! Most of the time it's fine though. I'm going to do a clean flash and see if that gets rid of that issue.
Same Here
I have run across the same problem with a number of the cooked ROMs. I never really noticed the problem with the stock ROM though. In my experience some of the cooked ROMs are having a problem handling the text messaging. I have over 3000 text msgs in my backup and as soon as I try to view an older text, the systems tend to lag and freeze up to the point that I need to soft-reset. Im using Athine right now and so far it has handled the text msging just fine without freeze or lag, but it also seems to have the same notification delay bug that the other ROMs have.

Yeah I'm familiar with that bug. But I go back to the home screen 99% of the time then shut the screen. I'll get a message and the LED will start blinking, but only when I turn the screen back on will it ring and vibrate.
Same problem here with the cell pro rom

I have the problem with almost all of the ROM. Does anyone know if it could be a result of not using the right radio?
I could be wrong.. but I don't think it has anything to do with the radio. There doesn't seem to be any problem is receiving the message from the carrier, it's more-so the OS not notifying. This has only happened to me since trying the new WM 6.5.5 builds with Sense 2.5. Previous to these builds I have never had any issues, and only used EnergyROM with a COM2 build, and Sense 2.1

Im not sure about all the technical stuff your talking about...I just know that on almost every ROM I flash, when the phone goes to sleep, they seem to not do anything. Its only when I wake it up do I receive text messages, notifications and the weather doesnt update on its own in the prescribed time its supposed to according to the settings I have selected.
The radio version may affect the quality of your reception. So if you have no reception then that will obviously delay texts getting through, and stop you being able to get to the weather servers. But I can't see why it should have anything to do with delayed notification of texts that are already on your phone.
I realise this might not help you much, but on my EnergyROM (see my signature for full details), my phone gets texts fine when it's asleep.
The weather isn't designed to get automatically updated when your phone is asleep though. There was a recent thread on how to change the registry to make it do so, if you haven't done that then your weather stuff may well be acting correctly.
