Hi Guys,
I am new here and are currently using WM6.5, working great. I've heard that the version of the radio has a huge impact on sound quality and battery life.
Went back to WM6.1 and was able to find the Firmware Version, i assume this is the Radio? currently it's at 1.16.00.00, is this the stock radio and which one is considered to be the best? i am with telstra 3G if that makes any difference?
Thanks

I'm taking my unlocked Tilt, sim and cid, to the balkans (serbia,bosnia,croatia,etc). Has anyone been there with their Tilt? Any issues? Also, does anyone have any advice or suggestions on which radio might be the best for that part of Europe?
Thanks in Advance!
Hi dshanesmith,
I live in Balkans (Kosovo), and have HTC Kaiser, running on Dutty's Diamond v1, with 1.58.25.17. Previously had dutty's april 6.1 on 1.65.08.21, and none of these has reception issues, often tried it in Macedonia and Serbia as well.
Hope this helps.
works fine here too
Friends who have bought an Official Diamond from HTC outlets, please let me know which ROM version is being sold, as worry is the UK stock was supposedly witheld for a ROM update.. Are we getting updated ROM or not??
Also mention the RAM and ROM reads from Indian versions..
look at the diamond rom section here. There are 1.34 and 1.35 rom updates posted. The latest rom anyone has seems to be 1.37 - i expect it will be posted soon.
Thanks someone1234, but i raised the question because the Indian Version is going to be different - Non 3G version, hence the ROM versions may be different...
Hey does it mean no one's as yet bought a diamond in India???
Is official sale in India started or not???
safe to say that...
ppl that claim they have bought have yet to respond and claim from where and source...
so probably no one has it yet
Diamond In India ! Yipee !
I got the diamond yesterday in India for 35k that is about 900USD. It is not official, does not come with a warranty. Seems like a HK version piece to me. The ROM version is 1.35 WWE, Date 05/28/08 - Since I got it I have run advanced config on it and tweaked it by increasing cache size. It is noticably faster now.

from where? and what city are you in ?
The Indian Diamond is supposed to launch on the 27th of June afaik.
Its different from the EU versions, uses the MSM7206A processor with no 3G radio
HTC India
the processor on my instrument is Qualcomm 7201A and I have upgraded to ROM version 1.37 WWE. This device also has 3G, I am guessing the official indian version might not. I am located in Delhi and bought it from a dealer here.
Thats not the offical version then.
id rather have the one with 3g than without
I bought my 3G Diamond here in Delhi for 35 Grand its HK version i think and paying 25000/- for non 3g one ...i think 35000 is a good deal.
same here soulpilot, good to have 3G should be getting launched in India in the next9-12 months anyway
Guys, any other difference (other than 3G) between the processors MSM7201A (Worldwide) & MSM7206A (Indian) ??
Not as far as I know. Only difference in the Radio implementation.
One major negative in buying the 3G in India is most HTC service centers will refuse to even touch your phone if theres any problem with it due to the incompatible processors. Some might oblige but most wont. Taken my singapore HTC to the service center the other day for a panel switch and was talking to the service guys about it. He said most of the service centers wont touch any of the 3G diamonds.
i hope the cooked roms work equally well for the indian version as well.

I didnt know the 3g touch diamond is available in India.
Can someone (I see amit221 and soulpilot bot it in Delhi) let me know where they bought it from in the Delhi region?
I returned my orange HTC diamond as the coverage was rubbish back to the store and my vodafone HTC diamond arrived. I can confirm it comes with a case. And it does not look to bad. How long should I charge it for?
what ROMs?
what rom version are on the vodafone version, I have a orange one and the batterys crap and I am having problems getting HTC and orange to get a new rom

I am just charging it right now, but once done I will post the rom version.
I got a VF one, first thing I did was flash to the HTC OEM version, the VF one is slow as hell, what would be useful though is to get the SAT app back, although not desperate for it as I have TT7 now which is excellent. VF really know how to screw a ROM up, they did the same to the TYTN one.
I actually lashed my orange one with the euro rom and found it pants, this voda rom is not so bad, except for the colour. PLus side it is unlocked. Right my rom and radio are as follows:
ROM 1.37.161.2WWE
ROM DATE 06/26/08
RADIO 1.00.25.03
PRROTOCOL 52.26A.25.09U
Orange Diamond
I got mine from Orange yesterday. i too have noticed the poor 35 coverage - the device is most of the times in G mode.
although it's Orange branded , i got it through Phones4U. So at least it doesn't have the Orange usual crap colorings and themes. (it looks exactly as the usual HTC stuff).
because i'm horribly new to this diamond stuff, i still don't know whether the rom is original HTC or Orange version. Could anyone confirm if his Orange rom version is different from the one in my signature? thanks.
at least i'm still in the 7-day cooling off period and can return.
The orange rom is the generic rom, I got mine from phones 4u also. Orange were not able to tango the rom in a rush to get ot out. Though the store demo ones I saw are tangoes.

Also if you upgrade you radio to .05 version you will see an improvement. I spent money unlocking mine to return it oh well. As I travel a lot and in my office there was no reception.

interesting. thanks.
i've also spent money on unlocking. i donated $55 to xda yesterday b4 3pm, it's now past 10 a.m. & have not received the unlock code yet
Is the vodafone HTC diamond really UNlocked? that could decide it on whether i upgrade with Orange or go to Vodafone? Also, has anyone compared Orange Diamond to Voda Diamond in terms of responsiveness etc...?
Thanks
anyone has the vodafone uk rom?
I have flashed my diamond before dumped it.
Nice to have it as backup.
Thank you.
Vodafone UK Rom
I have a brand new Vodafone HTC Diamond. I do not like the white-red looks, I'd rather have the black one.
But wouldn't flashing the rom invalidate my 2 year warranty?
I have found the dump.arj (Vodaphone rom dump), though not sure how to put it back to my phone if I need to... Instructions provided in that thread were confusing, but they become more clear once I have managed to download the kitchen (currently unavailable )
And then - which new rom is the best for UK (has most bug fixes and best performance)?
Sorry for my ignorance but this is the first try to flash any roms... I would be really grateful for some hints/advice
are there any differences between the X1i and X1a roms worth changing for?
i have x1a flashed to x1i uk rom, for some reasons X1a rom wont work with HTC blackstone dialer.

x1i and x1a, both using the same OS build, but htc blackstone dialer won't work on x1a rom.
@Xmoo
I like htc blackstone dialer cus when some1 calls, I have 4 options to choose: answer, ignore, send text, mute ring.
Does using an X1i ROM on X1a influence frequency availability (i.e., are you no longer able to use 850MHz UMTS)?
Does it influence the VGA video capture speed (i.e., 10fps -> 30fps)?
Can someone post the X1a ROM (or at least the radio)?
Thanks!
x1a and x1i rom should be identical, except for radio part. A rom itself should be fit well exept for communication-related component such a dialer like the blackstone one, sounds like a very resonable issue
