Hi,
I am using the original ROM 1.93 and I have installed Destinator 7 with Greek maps (2008). I don't know why, but the GPS loses its signal instantly and then everything is fine. This happens after a certain number of seconds and it is repeated.
Does anyone know hot to fix this?
Thank you.

I have had the same thing.
Turn OFF your AGPS with advance config.
If that doens't help, give it a hard reset.
cor
try with radio .07 (you wont loose anything), it catches gps signal quiker...

Here is my experience, where I noticed the GPS problems disappear completely.
From day 1, when I got my Diamong, first thing I did, without testing the GPS with shipped older official ROM, was to flash to SwiftBL ROM ... great ROM I have to say. But then I noticed that I had fix-no-fix-fix-no-fix (lags) problem, as well as the fixing itself taking up to 10-15 minutes. I tried newer SwiftBL ROMS, tried switching A-GPS, tried using .07 and .08 radios .... nothing, problem persisted.
I went back to .05 radio, and this time flashed with Dutty's Full v2 ROM ... very very fast and neat ROM. The ROM has A-GPS switched off from start. I did one hard-reset after flashing ROM, as Dutty recommends, and guess what ... no lags and fix within 10-20 seconds.
What was the problem .... I sinserely do not know, whether the combination of ROM+Radio+A-GPS! ..... main thing being now my GPS is fast at fixing, signal quality high and no lags.
Hope this helps.
cpootjes, because of the work load I managed to visit the site today!!
I activated A-GPS after a hard reset. I didn't even think that this could be a problem! However, I will test it and I will post the result..
Thanks anyway..
cpootjes, having activated A-GPS caused the problem (as you told me)..
Thanks again !!
Folks, since you have Destinator 7 installed and running, I hope you can help me... I cannot get mey Destinator Portal to see my internal storage, so I can install my maps there. Any suggestion ?
Hey. Today is not my day

Sorry for bad english!
by the way, there is a strange sound in the speaker when it tries to connect to a GSM network.

On automatic it sets on 3G becurse i got 3G here, and if it losts the 3G connection and tries to connect to GSM it dies. ( thats how i found out about this problem on the way too school this morning. )
in my network i observe problems with connects to GSM: Sometime i lost the GSM connection/signal, where my Wizard has a safty connection.
It can be a standard Problem with the current Radio ROM
I think about change the radio ROM. pse look to Diamond ROM development to find a instruktion. the ".25.05" should be the best Radio Rom with a better energy performence and better Signals. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
BUT i have not change in this time, while i test my Battery performance after a reducing of background software/applications.

die completly = shut down/swith of the Diamond?
This i not have obervate.
If you follow the instructions, the Radio update is out of problems. If you will get the old radio version, so you can get it back with the original provider update of ROM.
for german Vodafone there is a download by vodafone.de under "technischer Support". i think the most providers has a update download. Look to your provider, if there be a ROM update.

I'll have too check it out, im from .SE so i'll need to find a radio that works here then?

before you look for a new Radio, make a reset or a hard reset. My be, that it "repair" your problem.
By my WIZARD i has update the Radio.
I think, that the radio ROMs for the Diamond are also standards (how by the WIZARD) without differences.
Radio ROMs look to:

Now im damn happy. for some reason it works like a charm again, i just had to fully charge the battery... :S dont know what went wrong. :s
I will stil flash my device tho : P
Thanks alot!
OK, i hope you get a better Signal after changing the Radio version.
so as i have read, is version 05 the optimal version with stable signal and lower battery consumption.
pse read self the linked threads to find your optimal Radio ROM.

Im still waiting for HTC too fix mine : P
Hi,
I have a major problem. I can't get internet via gprs to work after the new 2.03 upgrade. I've tried two hard resets but nothing helps. The upgrade went fine and everything else works good, wifi & even MMS! which I think is strange since it uses gprs aswell... It sends and recieves MMS fine both with 3G, HSDPA & on Edge...
The connection wizard finds my correct settings and installs them, I've tried adding the correct settings manualy aswell. I've done it a million times before so I know it's correct. I have 3G coverage aswell since I can see the 3G on top. I don't use any static ip wifi connection either so the bug can be ruled out.
IE, Opera, Mail, Weather etc etc... nada, I can't get anything to connect. I see the arrows on top when it starts to connect and after a few seconds I get the connection error.
Please help, my phone feels worthless now...
try to get back to 1.93 and then re-flash the 2.03
Ok but is it possible installing this 2.03 again can help??? I mean so I don't have to go back to 1.93 first because I have no idea how to do it? I've not very experienced when it comes to changing roms since I always just flash the official ones...
Installed the older 1.93 again, still doesn't work
There seem to be no problem with the hardware since MMS works and uses GPRS, 3G, HSDPA & etc...
I think I give up, have to live without internet in my phone it seems
It's most likely a configuration problem rather than a hardware one.
Are you SURE the Internet access is configured EXACTLY to your provider's specifications?
Hi to all, please Owziee , did you fix your issue???
Hi, I´m from Spain and I have the same problem with my HTC Diamond. It was working very good with a cooking rom but after upgrade with the new original version from HTC don´t work GPRS connection.
I tested first with hard reset and second ,changing differents radios and spl in the way to found an answer for my problem but I didn´t found it.
I was checking the connection data from Orange for it was wrong but I saw all correct.
I created the connection manually first and automatically after it with the HTC Connection setup , but did´t work either.
Please Is there any way to fix it???.
Thanks in advanced

Hi everyone
my first post, I have a problem with my Diamond on Orange.
My data connection seems to lock out if I have been in an area of low coverage this results in not being able to connect to my Gmail account using the email function of the phone.
I have downloaded and installed the wm 6.1 patch for fixing corrupt email account. The workaround now though is when it still locks me out of using my data connection I have to reboot the phone.
I have also installed the official new rom from the Orange site, can't access the HTC site ROMs as my device serial code is linked to Orange
It's very frustrating having to reboot your phone 6 times a day (my office is in a low coverage area)
also since last week the phone makes no sound for SMS, MMS, calendar reminders etc. I have checked the sounds associated with these events and they play ok when you click to test them but not when an SMS etc arrives
please help, I'm locked in to this phone till next Aug
Thanks in advance
Steve
Try this...
Rather than rebooting your device, have you tried going to the settings tab on TF3D, selecting communications and tap the 'Data Connection' setting? I'm not sure about the stock Orange ROM, it may not have the option to switch the data connection on and off. If it hasn't, try turning Airplane mode on then off again. Your connection should then be re-established.
As for your sound issue... make sure you have the check box selected for 'Events'. Go to Settings / Personal / Sounds & Notifications and check the top most box
Thanks for the info Graham.
I can confirm that the box 'Events (warnings, system events)' is checked but still no sounds on sms, calendar event etc
not sure where I find the settings tab on TF3D but can try the airplane mode tomorrow at work were I have the low coverage issue.
Thanks for taking the time to give the advice.
Is there a new rom out there I could install as a permanent fix for the data issue?
Thanks
Steve
Mmmm...
Not sure whether a ROM change will cure your problems. It may just be related to your carrier (Orange). I've tried numerous ROM's and radios, but never had an issue with the data. You could try flashing a different radio. Do you know what version your device is running now?
If you look here, you'll find all the various radios available. I'd definitely start with a radio change before flashing ROM's if you're happy with your Orange ROM that is
Hi
The Radio is 1.00.25.05, (ROM is 1.93.405.1 WWE)
are these any good ones or should I update to a new Radio
Thanks again
Steve
Mmmm...
That's what I thought... both the ROM and Radio version are very old (by XDA standards!). I would certainly upgrade your radio, if not the ROM as well. Make sure you upgrade the HardSPL first though or you'll end up with a nice paper weight!
Follow this tutorial to the letter and you'll be fine. That's all I did. Most of the custom ROM's here don't include a Radio, so you'll need to upgrade that seperately. It's all in the guide. If you've already upgraded the SPL, you can go ahead and flash a ROM / Radio.
The ROM I'm using is Gen.Y D2 R4.2 which you'll find in the ROM section along with a host of others. In my opinion, it's the best by far
Thanks Graham will read all the info and give it a go
Steve
Hi
Managed to get radio 1.13.25.24 on but can't find a live link for ROM Y D2 R4.2
any chance you could post one for me
Many thanks for all the help up to now, I'm realy looking forward to my Diamond working like it should
Thanks
Steve

Hi. The download links are halfway down Post #2 of the ROM thread... CLICK HERE
Hi
Thanks for all your help. I am now running on radio 1.13.25.24 and ROM Y D2 R4.2
Early days but there is defiantly some improvement in data connection/reception but I am still getting the issue where the data connection corrupts and won't connect even when full network coverage is restored.
Thanks for the workaround suggestion re turning airplane mode on then off this does work and negates having to re-boot.
Is there any way I can overcome the basic issue re the data connection corrupting in low coverage areas?
Is a radio available that will up the coverage even more, battery life is not important to me?
Thanks again
Steve
Tip...
Another way, which may be quicker. On the settings tab in TF3D, tap connections and you should have a 'Data Connection' option. If you switch this off to disconnect your GSM data connection, the next time your device needs to connect it will re-establish the connection. This doesn't help with your issue, but it is quicker than turning Airplane mode on and off.
It might be worth posting in the Radio thread to see if anyone has experienced this on Orange and found a workaround. Like I said, I've not experienced data issues like this, so I can't really help. You've changed your ROM and your Radio, so it seems it's not ROM or Radio specific... it does seem to point to carrier??
Hi Graham
I’ve spent some time getting used to the new ROM, it seems to be a big improvement over the standard Orange one and I do occasionally get a data connection in my office which is unusual. I think what I really need is some sort of signal booster stuck to the window.
One thing I notice with the new ROM is a lack of a calculator; can I add this on in some way?
Thanks
Steve

Did either of you change radio versions when you flashed these roms? You should make sure you are using the proper radio for your carrier.
Give your carrier a call and ask them if there is a firmware update or roaming list update you can download. I have cdma so we have PRL updates every so often so our phones know which cell towers to use for the best signal. Good Luck!
