Problem with HTC Touch Diamond - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a HTC Diamond from Sprint that I got back in Feb. '09. I have it about a year now. My problems have always been constant pause/freeze during texting. It lasts about 10-15 seconds. I've tried updating it nothing has ever worked. Also Windows Update has never worked. It just says cannot connect to server, make sure date and time are correct. Over the last month or so people have told me they are not receiving my texts. Before I didn't have any real problems. I did just do the hotfix for the sms that came out on Jan. 14th, 2010. That may help not sure though.
*update - It seems the sms update has helped but people still don't always get my texts. I think it's either my phone or the cell tower. I've talked to Sprint before and they have said they only have one tower in my area and that it's not at 100% or at least not as good as it should be.
ROM ver. 2.00.651.7
Radio ver. 1.11.00F
Model: DIAM500

Have you tried using an app like ClearTemp or MemMaid that clears out temporary and junk files?
You should if you haven't. Also, I recommend a ram reclaimer like CleanRam. Helps to keep things running smoothly.

No I haven't tried those. Im not big into downloading to my phone. Do I just google the apps then dl them to my phone an install? anything special I need to do or know?

You can download the .cab files directly to your device or download them from a pc and then move them to your device through a sync connection and just place them in your device memory.
Then just navigate to the cab file using file explorer and click on the file to install. I suggest you install them to device memory if you have the space.
You can get CleanRam and ClearTemp and many other useful free apps at www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi
Good Luck!

I tried those apps but they didn't do much. I saved about 6-7 MBs but that's it. I still get the pause/freeze when texting and still have problems with people receiving my texts. My texts either don't show up or they get them late. I guess it's just Sprint in my area. I'll have to try and call them and see what can be done.
Thanks.

I suggest you do a backup using some sort of backup utility and then hard reset/clear storage. That should help if that is an option for you.
Also, if you have messaging set to check for email frequently that can cause slow downs from time to time when you have another app open. Set it to not check automatically and just check it yourself using send/receive. Or set it to check once or twice a day automatically.

I've done several hard resets, majority of them last summer. That's how I am on raido 2.00 instead of radio 1.80 which I beleieve is the official version. I was having these problems even on the official roms that's why I even decided to update.
I don't use the e-mail on my phone. I just use the testing part.

Have you tried doing any registry tweaks/hacks to increase performance? I definitely recommend doing some because they can make a huge difference. Check the Diamond Tweaks Thread in the Stickies.

No I haven't tried any tweaks or hacks. My performance besides the signal/bars and the pause is good. I only use about 40% or less. I hardly ever go above 45%.

PIE Explorer Connection Loss FIX for Blue Angel (pda2k xda2s

Hey guys.
ive made a simple patch for the blue angel running windows mobile 5 where we got the error connection loss after loading any more than 200kb.
The patch I have made sorts this problem and one page for example that I now know that loads and didnt used to is Ebay, and buzzdev.
Simply insert this into the registry of the blueangel,, only for Windows Mobile 5.0.
U MUST let the registry flush before reseting the device. To do this press the power button to turn device off, wait 15 secs, turn back on and then soft reset.
Cheers.

I have updated this, still seemed to throw up the error with v1.0, v1.1 seems fine 100% of the time.
OK, I feel like a bloody moron and a total newbie here! I have tried importing the regfile with PHM Registry Editor, but I can't seem to do it. Could you please tell me what you use?
1.1b is now up.
cache has been increased.
ill make a cab later to make it easier. this works fine for me now even over some pages tht still didnt quite seem to load fully in 1.1
Great, thanks! Maybe I can install it as well then... I was actually wondering why eBay wouldn't load while I was looking for some stuff in bed last night, but this explains it. Does this help on the pitiful speed of loading the pages as well? I don't think eBay and IMDB were that slow to load on the WM2003SE I used before. Or were they?
speed doesnt seem to bad to be honest. id say its equally comparable to 2003se.
ill get tht cab made up now.
ok here it is,
the cab as promised.
Thanks! But I don't know if I have done anything wrong. I try eBay's front page, and after a while I see "The page cannot be displayed og downloaded because the connection was lost. Check the connection and try again later." This is with WiFi. I installed the cab, turned the unit off for around 30 seconds and then soft reset it. Isn't that the way to do it with this WM5 ROM?
Edit: Sorry, I didn't get the part about turning the unit on again before the soft reset. Trying it now. (This ain't my day!)
Edit 2: Nope. Didn't work that way either. :?
Hmm... weird... first time I installed WM5: I had nooooooooo problmes using PIE with WiFi and "big" sites. Now, on my 2nd try with WM5 I have those problems.
I'll try the patch later and write down what's going on.
Heres another patch which is slightly updated, v1.2. It has the following changes:
1. Makes pages load faster having more connections per server.
2. The timeout time has been increased so that the page will load for longer and wait for the page to fully load before displaying the connection lost error.
3. Cache of ssl pages has been disabled.

Mastiff: Please use the latest version and tell me how u get on...
I don't have that problem
I use the first patched version how about you?
Ye im using the first patched version...
Its weird why some users are having the problem and others are not...
Can u load ebay ok without applying my patch?
No. Sorry. I still get the message. Also I don't feel that this version is faster than the previuos. Weird! Do you use it on GPRS or on WiFi? I never surf on anything else than WiFi, maybe that's the thing?

That's the crazy thing: first time I installed WM5 on my PH20B1 BA, I had no problems with eBay and other much bigger sites... then I went back because of the performance to WM2003SE, had there the phone problem and several others, so I switched again to WM5 and NOW I have those problems with the PIE... First time I had the v1 WM5 and now the "v3" - that's the only difference. However, I'll try out that patch.

Just loaded ebay.com with the craddle connection and didn't have any problem.. I used WiFi with other sites and never saw that problem... Tomorrow i can try loading it at a wifi connection
OK, I just tested. eBay works with the cradle, but not with WiFi.
I tested it over wifi and works fine.
No patch applied (only the 1st patched rom version)
I still can't see the buttons.. I guess we need the Hima's IE Registry
I have those problems w/ PIE since i have the patch 3 version from WM5, with the very first version i had no problems concering PIE and Wifi...
I'm starting to think that the problem is WiFi itself, not just surfing via WiFi: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29904

Is it just me? Download problems

So I always try to download large emails or file from PIE/Poutlook and the file starts downloading very fast, then nothing. It just stops downloading. Any ideas why ?
I have a fairly new duttys 6.1/ not the new one but the one before.
I've noticed this as well but have not found a fix for it. Whenever i try to download a ROM or Radio from here it stops downloading part way through.
I'd love to see if anybody has any experience with this problem.
I'm not saying that it happens from this site. For instance. I use my tilt to download that warcraft port, it stops at about 1/4 way in. The first 1/4 goes fast though, after that it can sit for a day and go nowhere. This of course happens on all larger files, not just this particular one.
Yeah, thats the same. I mean when i click a link to go outside of XDA (i.e. roms etc) that it quits shortly into the download. It seems to have happened with dutty's newer ROMS b/c i used to be able to.
i have occasionally downloaded a rom or two using pie and i noticed this.........the download progress bar stops moving, but i think the download is still continuing, cause eventually it finished, and file extracted fine, with no problems
Well I've let some 900k files transfer for hours, how long did you have to wait?
It happens to me to with the first download PIE has to do. I stop the download and try it again. The second time it works without problems.
I've been having download issues using Newsbreak an RSS reader. I have a dozen or so podcasts I normally download and lately they get stuck, consistently stuck

are you on ATT? I have an old cingular branded simcard.. what about you? I am lucky i have a friend with a Tilt.. i have taken his att branded simcard and inserted it into my phone, tested some downloads they appears to be working fine and sure enough my card in his phone is producing the same results I had.. INCOMPLETE DOWNLOADS..
now either its my sim card, or something is screwy with my account. I am trying to scam ATT, i have a unlimited smartphone data plan from an old phone that I quietly moved to my pocketpc. I'm hoping it's the OLDER sim card that is affecting me.
post any info if you can.
say it aint so, say it aint so. Man I guess I need to get my new sim activated, but I'm a little worried they will try to change my plan if I call in.
Any Update?
Checking to see if there was any update on this topic? I'm having the same trouble and wondering if I should replace my old cingular SIM card with a newer ATT one?
Mike
I am having the same problem since upgraded to Dutty's jun 7th rom. I know it is different from yours. I thought I was just special in having this problem. I don't see how it is the sim card that is the problem. I have the newest at&t sim card and have the problem.
Only since installing this rom have I had any problems. But I am signed up for the 15.00 dollar media net though.
I never use PIE, but it happens all the time in Opera 9.5 built 1184(I think). I just assumed it was an Opera 9.5 issue as I upgraded to Dutty's rom and Opera 9.5 on the same day. Before that I was using Mobile Vista with Opera 8.65.
I have the same symptoms as you, I start a download and the first 1/4th is fast, then it just stops. I close Opera and start the transfer again and it works.
jeff
bumb, would like an answer
Well that was ages ago I did swap my SIM card and since then have switched roms 10 or more times.. and still the same problem
It's very strange tho, I can get email attachments just fine. But if I try to do a download of an .mp3 or .cab or pretty much anything, I get the same results as you posted below. It' gets a certain portion of the download then stops never to restart.
REALLY SUCKS!

Would like to get this resolved..
Same problem, but it also happens when I'm tethering to a PC (Vista). It's really apparent in youtube - it downloads 5-10 seconds ahead really fast, then just stops and as soon as player reaches that point, it just keeps trying to load movie further, and can't. If I manually move the slider forward, it will download 5-10 seconds, then stop again. It's 100% consistent.
Not sure if I should try switching back to Dutty's April rom (6.0) from my current 6.1
I to am having the same problem with my tilt. I cannot seem to D/L files. Any help with this would be great.
I've noticed recently the same thing, and I suspect it's Cingular. Anyone not using Cingular in this thread seeing it?
I also noticed that EDGE was really slow last week but that seems to have gone away.
If I switch to WiFi, no problems. And given the number of people mentioning this, I seriously doubt it's hardware/rom/etc.. I'm using the AT&T stock rom and radio.
my experience
well this is my experience, mind you I have att with the cheap medianet settings too. When my file downloading would stop id X(close) the pie window and you restart it it asks if you want to resume downloading. though this works, as time went on it seemed that the problem got worse. (id be resetting sometimes 10 times on a 4mb file) And then I wanted to download some larger files 300mb+ and didnt want to deal with this problem i noticed settings or different roms didnt help. So I moved my storage card to the computer and formatted my card 32k clusters with memmaid. now it seemed that i did have a corrupt file because this one music track would not erase easily i needed some program to get rid of it. after the card was formatted I put all my files back on it and I have not had a problem since. hope this helps some of you. also whenever you download something go to start\system\memory\storage card and you can easily see how much has transferred and how fast its transferring.

Telenav problem..

Just wondering if anyone is having the same problem with telenav, or if there is a fix to it. Ive looked around the forum with search and cant seem to find anything but telenav not being compatible with custom roms.
Im using Dutty's latest rom with my Tilt and i recently just added telenav to my phone, when i bring it up, it connects fine and gets to the screen where you select "drive to" and "maps". When i try to determine my own location to record it, i hit go and it basically brings up the connecting box where it goes from 0 to 100% but it doesnt move at all for me after a few mins anywhere i go..also i cant do any routes for the same reason..it seems like its just not making a good connection when im outside. I checked my connection settings, proxy is not on..set up for medianet on both connections as i read from another persons suggestion, but still no go..
assisted gps is also turned off..i can do quik gps and everything else just fine but it hangs when trying to download the route...ive re-installed the program also but no go still.
anyone have any ideas to what might be causing this?
if this problem has been resolved, ive looked and looked in the forums but maybe my eyes are blind lol.
thanks for any help.
I'm running Dutty's latest 6.1 dated April 9 and Telenav and have no issue. Runs flawless.
ok
What are your connections settings, are you on medianet?

Yes I am on medianet. Proxy is disabled.
gprs setting
is your gprs setting set to chap authentication, i havnt touched this but mines set to chap, but this is auto configured when setting up the network with att?
still not working..
Yah my telenav is still hanging up at getting gps when trying to find route and my location...installed gpsgate and changed the radio to 1.58.16.27 not sure what else to try..
Can't remember, but do you download telenav through Pocket IE after you flash the custom rom?
I can't remember if it auto-decides what download you get based on your PIE useragent, or if you select the product for downloading... but if it's based on UserAgent you may run into issues...
Cellular video, for example, does not work if the UserAgent is not the Tilt
yah
i downloaded the cab through a txt message i received from att. i selected att and then my phone and it auto installed from there.
only thing i havnt tried is changing my rom but i dont see how that would help..im using dutty's apr 1st release.

First, did you Hard reset after rom flash at the "Tap here to alighn" screen? Second, did you install Telenav prior to any cooked rom flash? The reason I ask this if you got the file from AT$T while you were using a stock rom then that is fine, but if you got while you were using a cooked rom, it is probably a bad file. The reason is that most cooked roms have the PIE User agent set to TYTN II not HTC-8900 (AT$T Tilt) which could cause a corrupt download if you indeed have a Tilt. I suggest uninstall, power down, power back up and try the file I attached. I have installed it with every rom I have tried, literally dozens and never had an issue. When I say power down, power back up, dont do a soft reset. Use the power button.
yah i always do the hard reset after flashing. i dl'd it with dutty's apr 1st rom..i selected the file based off carrier and phone model. I will try your cab after work..im hoping it will fix it haha thanks man. Once i get home i will let you know how it went

well for some reason still it seems to be taking its time when looking for a route somewhere..it gets to 10% after 2 mins and 30% after 6 mins..it was working fast as hell yesterday and i dont think it should be taking that long right?
i started up gpsgate b4 i ran telenav, its saying it has gps data coming in but no position..
im clueless..lol

Just a question but do you have assisted Gps enabled? If so, disable it. If that doesnt fix it, maybe try GPSTest?

MMS / EMAIL MSVC stopped working! HELP

Hi everyone..
I am a somewhat profiecient Tilt user.. had a few windows mobile phones before.. and had my tilt over a year.. I never had any problems with the WM 6.0 rom so I never upgraded it.... But now I ahve a problem... Today my GPS wasn;t locking on so I reset the phone, and as usualy it fixed the problem.. but now my messaging (and email) won;t work...
I have the HTC Home Installed (been installed a long time) and I use the buttons on the clock screen on it to access my MMS and Email... I went to send a txt and it did nothing.. I thought hte phone was froze.. but other stuff works.. I tried email next.. same problem... It also says the MSVC has encountered a problem and that is not working either.. it all happened at the same time....
The real problem is I have my phone EXACTLY how I wanted it.. with this tweek and that tweek... This program and that program.. this setting & that setting... sigh... I have an odd provider (Einstein PCS) so I had to set up all custom MMS, Email, Internet, and other setting that took a long time to get them all just "right"... I thought the SD card may have went, but other software that I know is on the SD card runs fine (including tomtom)... Any suggestions from anyone before I do hard reset? Please.. I don;t want to have to redo everything...
Retrace your steps
Hi
I have found that when something stops working after installing new software, if I uninstall any software, in the reverse order it was installed, this usually restores functionality. Uninstalling one piece of software at a time and running trials in between uninstallations usually helps to identify the culprit. If you haven't actually installed new software to co-inside with the failure then this advice is no good for you.
For future reference I would recommend using Sprite Backup (I think that the latest version is 6.5 and can be found on their website). With this software you can make a back up of your existing configuration prior to installing any new software. Then, if anything goes wrong you can just hard reset and run the backup file (stored as an .exe file) from the storage card and you'll get back to exactly where you were before the install.
Hope all that helps.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
Thanks for the advice but I did nto install anything.... I will get that sprite backup though for future use... thank you.... What I did find this morning is this...
http://www.htcwiki.com/thread/107262...&maxResults=20
It seems many other people have had MOST of the same problem... When I followed the directions and deleted the inbox om my SD card, it fixed everything... even the Microsoft Voice command.. no idea how they are related, but it must be.... The only problem is that now after doing all this research on new ROMs, I found one I want to try... now I gotta decide if I want to go through all that work if I don;t have to... I think I will do the sprite backup.. download a default at&T 6.0 rom if I can find one.. then TRY The new rom.. if I hate it.. install the default rom and resotre my settings.. Thansk for you help though

Absolute noob.....be gentle....please!

Hi all,
completely new to the ofrum although i've visited a few threads in the past.
I'm now in need of help so am appealing to the knowledgeable demi-gods on here for help.
I've had a TD since July 2008 (launch day in UK) on vodafone UK.
After having some issues with it being slow/sluggish etc, I did a rom update to 1.93.161.2 WWE (Aug 08).
Now, the vodafone sat nav hasn't worked properly since about May this year (don't use it very often), its always stuck at "acquiring satellites". So after speaking to VF they advise me to flash the newer rom 1.96 (iirc).
But, i've spoken to a few people who recommend going an alternative route, i.e. back to HTC 2.03 rom?
Basically what i want from my TD apart from the usual phone/sms funtions is:
pop3 mail setup (like i have now)
exchange sync'ing (like i have now)
sat nav (like i have now)
Before wiping i need to take my contacts off the phone, copying to the sim isn't an option as there are too many and it trunkates the names.
I've been advised about THIS for taking contacts off (activesync doesn't seem to want to do it).
I've also been told that using HTC rom will render my vodafone satnav (which is free with my tarrif) useless, but that igo8 and tomtom are better. But are they free?
I'd really appreciate a gentle approach to doing this please. I've done a search but there's so many topics on roms etc that i felt it needed a new thread.
I'm actually an I.T. manage by day, so i'm not new to technology.....just flashing mobiles i guess.
Thanks for any help offered. You WILL have a place reserved in paradise.
Before you do anything i suggest you try the htc gps tool, you can use it to erase old gps data maybe you will get a fix then, also try quick gps if you dont have it, it uses gprs/3g to download that latest sat data so its easyer to get a sat lock quicker
Thanks for the reply mancsoulja. My TD does have quickgps installed, but it makes no difference to helping get the satnav working sadly.
I will however try the other app to clear the data and give it another go, thanks.
Will let you know about that.
Actually, what i forgot to mention in my op is that if i get a sms during the day; i click on it, read it, then try and hit 'men > reply' it can take well over a minute to actually respond. The same happens when i want to make a call. I use the TouchFlow to browse to my favourite contacts, but trying to scroll down the list of only 10 contacts it simply does nothing. Then about a minute or so later it catches up with itself and goes all over the place trying to catch up with every key press since.
This was the original reason i had for upgrading the rom.
Its as if waking it up after doing nothing for ages makes it all sluggish (bit like a pc when waking from hibernate i guess) Its very laggy.
Ok, the htc gps tool? Lol i have nooooo idea what i'm supposed to do with that.
Google maps works fine, in that it knows my location and i can plan a route using it, so GPS is working. Its just that vf satnav won't work.
Any ideas on this please?
