OK
had the touch diamond about 5 days ago. (no network) stuck my orange sim in it from my e650
In that 5 days it has twice failed to come out of standby. Nothing will get it to come alive apart from taking out the battery. Bit of a problem because i use it for alarm clock in morning.
The only things ive done to it so far are
Installed PHM reg editor
Installed PHM soft reset
Installed cab file to get rid of sms threading/conversation
Installed cab file to enable delivery notifications for SMS
Carried out reg hack to not show sim contacts (although thats now reset due to the battery coming out (I think))
Anyone else had this problem and got a fix? I tried pressing the standby/off button, holding the standby/off button pulling out the stylus etc
Hope I havent got dud hardware
Cheers

same problem here with my mda compact IV from T-Mobile, just have the phone for 2 day's now, and it's 8/10 times now it would not come out his standby mode.
first thing i did when i got my MDA, is flashed it to A.Z.T.O.R. V7 Black Diamond Touch Edition.
So I'm kicking this thread up, hoping for some kind of solution of idea!?!?
hello,
thats not normal. use orig. rom from provider and check it again.
if the same than back to seller.
use reset to start the device again and not the battary put out/in.
iam not expert so see this answer only as a proposing.

Still not very happy with my phone so I might send it back to be checked.
i found another thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436000&highlight=standby+freeze
I've had this exact problem, but the reset button on the back does work when this happens. I'm in the US on T-Mobile in NYC using a European Diamond. I work in a building that has very weak T-Mobile coverage and I've found that I only get the problem when I am at work. On the weekends and at night, the problem never happens because I am usually in an area that has either no coverage or good coverage. I have not eliminated the problem, but I have discovered that setting the network type to "GSM" and the band to "UMTS(850+1900)GSM(850+1900)" reduces the incidence of the problem for me to once every few days. I'd love to hear a good solution to the problem as well.

I have the same problem only at my work where I get almost no signal.
before my diamond a had a HTC Elf with the same problem only at my work, this phone is switched for a diamond with the same problem now.
I updated radio now, see what happends
The radio is updated to V. v1.00.25.05
i have much better signal now, and no problems at all.
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
I ordered the Sprint Diamond today online and should have it by Tuesday. I'm a long-time Blackberry user, so I've never used Windows Mobile and have some questions on setting it up. Go easy on me, because I'm not an IT guy or anything. I'm sorry if these questions are listed on other threads, but maybe this will also help some others that are getting the Sprint Diamond and need help setting it up.
1) I want to be able to use most of the apps in landscape mode. I understand there is a download here that allows that. Is it a program or a cooked ROM? Will it work on the Sprint version? If so, is it easy to do and how do I do it?
2) Likewise, I want to set it up so it doesn't answer in my pocket. There have been threads on fixes for this on this site, but my head is spinning from trying to figure it all out. Did everybody come to a consensus on which fix is best? I think one used the acceloratometer and one disabled everything but the hard send and answer keys. And most importantly..will it work on the Sprint version?
3) I also hear that there is a problem with the touch screen remaining active during a call, and that your cheek can unwittingly press buttons on the touch screen. What do I do about this problem?
4) At the moment, I am not using an Exchange server. Short of setting up a hosted exchange solution, is there a way to get push email (maybe a solution like Blackberry Connect software and Sprint's BIS server)? I saw something about the GSM version including Blackberry Connect software, but I haven't seen anything on the Sprint website about it.
What other apps should I install to pimp my Diamond?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone have any answers to the question above?
Thanks
JPJP
1... GSEN or Advance Config and there is an option that will let you map the call button to where it can change the axis of the screen.
2.. Haven't had an issue with this thusfar
3.. Nope never had this issue in fact I'm looking for a way to keep the back light on as it always locks within a minute.
4...Pretty sure push mail works on this and have read people hacking and getting blackberry connect working on the diamond.
Okay, long story short(ened).
I've been using xda-dev for a long time, but this is my first time actually posting. I used to have a T-mo Wing, realized just how many ways in which it lacked power-wise, and decided to upgrade to a Kaiser (specifically, an AT&T Tilt).
I used the Tilt with its original ROM for a really long time, and I was about to sell it on eBay to buy a G1 (which I may still do, we'll see) when I decided to try out flashing it with a new ROM.
I weeded through the various ROMs that you guys have cooked up, and I decided I liked Sakajati's Hyperdragon III Opal the best.
Took me a while to get it to work (biggest issue was that I had to switch to my wife's computer with XP, since my PC runs Vista), but now that I've got it running, I love it. I had my Kaiser running all sorts of fun apps before (man, some of you guys make some seriously awesome stuff!), but I could never get TouchFlo to work, so this ROM makes me very pleased. Manila is awesome, too. =)
Anyhow, to the point.
The Tilt has a different keyboard setup than the standard Kaiser. As a result, when I'm typing, I go to hit & and = shows up instead. # turns up with *, " yields &, etc. I can deal with this, but it's pretty annoying.
I don't know, maybe this was addressed in the Hyperdragon III thread, but I tried finding it to no avail. Since this isn't quite a Hyperdragon III issue so much as just needing to rework my keys, I don't think this belongs in that thread anyhow.
But, question is - do you guys happen to have any solutions? Maybe a program that lets me reprogram each of my keys to my own preference, maybe a .CAB that automatically reprograms my keys to the appropriate format. I don't care. I just want a solution.
Anybody?

Do a search on xda for tilt keyboard fix.
jeannette
this file will make the changes you need
Thanks guys. I appreciate the help.
RTFM!! haha just kidding. I'm not trying to be one of those guys.
Since you are new to the tilt, I'd recommend you read this thread though. There are lots of good links and tutorials in there.
Hello! I've been lurking around these forums for a while. Off and on I would come and check out some stuff. Well I have a problem.
When I upgraded to the official AT&T rom from HTC's site, I noticed something strange. The network icon that tells you if you are in EDGE territory or 3G or GPRS or whatever...it shows basically I'm not connected to anything. It's a slight annoyance because I know the 6.0 rom showed I was in EDGE with an E. You guys know what I'm talking about? Any fixes? If someone already asked this question then I am sorry (hides). I couldn't think of what to search for.
*Flash Kick Bump*
Add the following Registry Key:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Taskbar\LegacyEdgeNotification
as a DWORD with the value (1).

Ty Dave! I shall download the appropriate regedit software for 6.1 and get it on!
Dave...that didn't work. I applied the key, soft reset the phone, nothing. anything else i could try?

That should work for Edge. Try LegacyGprsNotification as a Dword and Value 1 forr the GPRS Icon instead.

Dave
Nope I wonder if PHM Registry Editor isn't really applying the key. It should...Let me try another reg edit.
Unfortunately that didn't work either )CeRegistryEditor(
AT&T couldn't have locked this down on their official 6.1...could they?
Hmm Daddy Might have to go ask a chef if we can't find a solution. Now I know that the network couldn't have screwed up on that particular day because my mother's Blackberry (yah I know, different) shows GPRS and I KNOW my phone should show EDGE/Gprs...
It can't be because I am using the same sim card as I had before (and not using the one that is branded AT&T 3G). Just trying to throw out some ideas

I've cooked several ROMs based off of the Official AT&T 6.1 ROM, and I can verify that it does correctly display G, E, 3G, and H icons. What other software have you installed?
The only other software added:
Garmin Mobile XT
M:Metrics Mobile Panel
Opera 9.5 Beta
PHM RegEdit
mfrazzz Transformer Sliding Sound
DK no Ringtone limit
Customization Tools and Customization Customize_Tool
and the Cingular crud
think it could be one of those? I have verified it not even showing if I do a hard reset. Maybe my Tilt hates me hehhe like I siad I could live without it but it is annoying not being able to see if I'm in EDGE or GPRS (or 3G if and when I enter a 3G area)
Ok I tried Advanced Configuration Tool (or whatever it's called ) and while it does apply the registry setting, the rom won't take it still. Now I just thought about this:
When the official rom came out, I did download it that day (September think it was). Could they have slightly changed the binary since and I just never knew about it?
Another thing, you think reflashing it would at least allow me to edit the registry properly?
Ive tried many different roms and many different radios and still havent found one that works great. most of the problems i have is with the keyboard for some reason on certain radios my keyboard will lag and different keys will not work all the time. and the weird thing is that if i change the radio it changes what keys work and dont work. i recently tried the newest rom and radio released on the htc website and that didnt help. another question can i download the rom for the htc tytn 2 from the website and flash it on a att tilt? thanks again for the help

Sometimes you need to change language when flashing certain roms diffrent from stock, if not match youre HK will be remaped to whatever the flashed ROM tells it todo . Example:
I am Norwegian so I have to change Curlang to 414 (414 Hex, 1044 Dec). I do this by searching up Curlang in my register (should be in: HKLM/Hardware/Devicemap/Keybd), then I Soft Reset. DONE! My Keyboard is now supporting ÆØÅ and all the oter keys and so on, just as I am used to on Norwegian Shipped/Stok Roms.
There are floating alot of curlang cabs for the diffrent phones in here, dig in or perhaps someone will post it for you.
its not just the mapping its just the keyboard wont type a letter unless i press it like 3 or 4 times. and im pretty sure its the radio and not the keyboard because if i change the radio different keys are effected. i no it sounds weird but im sure its not the keyboard or the mappings

I would deffently reflash to stock ROM asap! If its not rom/radio related I would suspect you got some fluid under HK? By the way you say diffrent (like in random?) keys ad affected makes me suspect its HW related if its really not as simple as radio. The remap should be the same on same country ROM`s for you, and the mapping is done in the register. If its radio related, you whole device should act strange and dodgy IMO.
ya i get what ur saying but when i use my gfs att sim card she doesnt have any problems only with my tmobile sim card

Kinda relevant information, you shoulda sticked in there first place my friend Tmobile I have no experience on radio to share. Think you need to dig into radio treads as its probobly then as youreself concluded radio related. Just try combine diffrent roms -> radio until you find a good match then take notes of the given radio. I would also search more for other Tmobile comments on radio issues from the memebers.
Dont know how updated this is but belive you can take it for a spin: [4 December] The Ultimate Radio Thread
i have searched and it seems like noone has shared their tmobile radio experiences. ive been fooling with this phone all night and i may have a conclusion. i used jockeyw's unlock method and i believe my hardspl isnt upgraded to the 3.29 or 3.56 like the new roms require. i have tried to upgrade and still wont change my bootloader info. on my tricolored screen the 2nd line says "SPL-1.0.OliPof" which i am assuming is SPL1.0 not SPL 3.29. this is very frustrating because i cant change it no matter what hardspl i do. i even tried this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061 and it still didnt help. i think this is all the info i can come up with i hope someone can help
Some SPL Wiki reading called for

So if you're using a Windows Mobile 6.0 compatible SPL (version 1.xx) with a WM 6.1 ROM that can give a host of problems, including freezing. I used this SPL Questions part of the wiki to change from the OliPof 1.0 SPL to a HTC 1.93 SPL the other day and using JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe it worked fine so there's something you're not doing right. If you describe what happened after you tapped Kermit, (including any RUU error messages) it may help us diagnose whats going on. I suggest you re-read that part of the wiki as well as this is getting a bit spoon-feeding-ish (which xda-dev is not about).
I have Hard SPL 3.56 and use KAIS_Radio_1.70.18.02 with PDA_Corner Ultimate X Beta II (ROM). My average download speed via tethering is now about 27 KB/s. It used to be only about 20 to 22 KB/s. Also make sure that you install the Tilt keyboard fix cab that is on the WIKI page if you are using a Kaiser ROM on an AT&T Tilt.
