Ok i have been breaking my head. to get it to connect over GPRS/EDGE/3G.
It works for me with any other connection. That is : Wifi, and Active sync.
I am using T-mobile, (unlocked) att Tilt, and have t-zones.
So of course it has something to do with proxy connection.
Please someone help on how to do a registry edit, or a .cab file or something.
One more thing, I never used to have all these problems with my wizard
(im guessing it was because i had the data plan(data plan is to damn expensive) )
why waste your time running another memroy hungry app on your phone; instead use fring http://www.fring.com and it's free and then have all your IM applications running from one app.

Some of use like to use the original app/OS, instead of a third-party version.
I too wonder if I should go back to WM6.0 because of the incompatibility with Skype. Skype is also free, and I use it primarily for calls, not IM.
It does seem that most Skype users wouldn't be using WM6.1 anyways since it's beta/unreleased OS anyways. Hopefully, the Skype people would update themselves sometime soon.
I am using skype on 6.1. See my signature.
I use skype for overseas calls as that is what they all use.

Not sure why it works on some 6.1 ROM's and not others.
I thought when i posted this, that i would get alot of help. Look i dont think this is hard. And as for the windows mobile 6.1 issue, i really dont think its an issue, cause thats what i am using.
The problem is that. The stupid t-zones proxy, is getting in the way of this thing connecting over the Edge/gprs/3G.
Please all you registry whiz peeps or all you people that know how to hex edit or patch stuff, please help with a solution for this.
thank you
Oh and do people know of other voip stuff that i can get into ?
thanks again
For what it's worth, I don't use any type of IM, but use Fring instead of Skype for calls. I used Skype on my phone, but Fring just seems to work better.

Well, don't know if you guys know (according to Skype) that Skype doesn't work on non 3G network?
I flashed many WM 6.1 floating in this board and I don't have any problem w/ skype on at&t 3G (yet.)

Hmm.. maybe I'll look again. Skype install worked quite fine on WM6.0 previously (Dutty's/Sleuth), but the new Dutty 6.1 Skype runs, but refuses to be "online". I can still access my previous call history and profile information. This is over WiFi.
I'll try again. Maybe network "hiccup".
While installing Skype of resco or 1-Calc, make sure you are NOT on WiFi. Just disconnect the WiFi, then install the programs.

Does "fring" let you use skype through the earpiece or does the sound come through the speaker like on skype?

Why waste your time running apps with such a CHEESY interface as Fring when Skype works perfectly? As an existing Skype user on my PCs I am very happy to have the same easy to use interface on my phone. I do not see it as being memory hungry either. I have been running Skype without a hitch in WM6.0 and 6.1 on my kaiser in Australia for the past 4 months. Have it connected right now on a non 3G, Edge network. It is Free other than my data charges. I have been using Duttys Roms.

If your using T-mobile t-zones plan, you can forget many things working.
If you want a clean im client thats free, go with parlingo, (i hope i spelt it right)
get it and search again for the reg proxy fix.
T-mobile they are pissing me off, No 3g and then there data add on is more expensive than all the other carriers with better networks.
I think i might just start a thread just to vent. This is pure rubish, How long does it take to upgrade there towers or roll out there 3g, they have been saying that it would be ready next year, since 2005.
They are just lucky i like there voice plans, But this is totally rubbish.
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?

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

Reposting this here as it seems to have hit a wall over on PPCGEEKS(link to original thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42102):
I'm wondering if I can use CDMA roms on this site with a Japanese phone? Hoping to flash a WWE version as my Japanese is less than perfect. I know that EM Mobile(sometimes e mobile) uses a 1700MHz band different than the one in the states, its WCDMA and HSDPA.
Asking because I see lots of Sprint/Telus specific ROMS, I'm not sure if thats just software or ESIM/etc related??
If it matters I don't need to switch providers, I just want to use this phone, on my current plan, with an English OS.
Cheers and thanks,
Alexander

So far they think I may have a GSM phone? I know EMobile (my carrier) operates on a 1700MHz band, using WCDMA with HSDPA(I can get 7.2Mbps with my Diamond), and I assumed WCDMA is a CDMA type phone, it also has the curved lip separating the screen from the hardware buttons (see attachment). It's got a smooth back (non-faceted, looks like a black Sprint Diamond basically). HOWEVER, it has a front-facing camera, which I guess is different than the CDMA version? Finally it has 192MB of RAM so it's not one of those stripped down 3702's...
The installed software is:
ROM: 1.73.881.7 JPN
ROM Date: 09/22/08
Radio Version: 1.04.25.04
Protocol Version: 52.36.25.21H
Related, another guy on this forum using the same carrier as me has got a Kaiser working with English ROMS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=404499
It seems the Kaiser is GSM only, so I'm thinking WCDMA might indeed be a subset of GSM??
EDIT: Seems I do have a GSM model, based on this article: http://news.tigerdirect.com/2008/08/20/htc-touch-diamond-unlocked-gsm-smartphone/ :
This powerhouse runs on a Qualcomm MSM7201A 528MHz processor and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system. It can connect to HSDPA and WCDMA networks and supports GSM, GPRS and EDGE technology.

Emobile S21HT in English
Hi
I just flashed my new diamond to english (since I dont speak any japanse and had a hard time even starting the thing) using
http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26
unsigned hard-spl (signed did not work-got connection error, had to acknowledge something about boot-loader on the phone itself)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_HardSPL
I did not upgrade radio
I used the ROM from Dutty 2.7 release
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411707
so far all is running well, but i dont have the original GPRS/data settings in yet (could not read the jap. one) so I am now in research mode.
will let you know when I got data working, and any other issues
uggh
If you tell me how to find those on my phone, I can check them out before I flash. However im on the "EMB" network because I didn't sign up for the 315/yen a month SMS service (just using IMAP).
Well, I followed your lead. Flashing fixed my bluetooth keyboard not working with the blueinput drivers I bought, and since I bought this as a mobile word processor first and an internet device second, I am happy.
It would be nice to be able to connect to the network however...
Where do we put in our GPRS/etc settings?
I wrote down the following details before flashing:
Code:
MODEL: S21HT
Platform: PocketPC
IMEI: ###############(think this is an individual #, blocking it out)
GPRS: PAP
CSD line: Datarate 9600 bps(v.32), untransparent, SMS Service: GSM Priority
Network:
emb: emb.ne.jp
USER: em
PASSWORD: em
Still not able to connect... if you get yours working let me know
Got everything working. Had to change the phone settings to Auto-select network type(WCDMA/GMS) and auto select bands. HSDPA seems to be working too now.
As a last thing I would like to be able to type in Japanese with it using the standard IME, but for now I will be happy with what I have.
Cheers,
Alexander

Hi Alexander, I need some advise please.. I too have the emobile S21HT. I want to know after you did the flashing with english ROM, does the band selection includes other bands like 2100Mhz, etc.. not only 1700 Mhz? Because I know that emobile is using 1700Mhz only. Your answer will be much appreciated. Many thanks..
Jun
hey, Alexander
did you manage to send mms (email) from your emobile S21HT ?
I'm a novice in all this stuff, now trying to make Japanese ROM based on emobile device raw.

Ｈｉ Alexander
I also have a S21HT, wanted to know how you got the internet connection to work, mine doesn't work, is it the radio version, or is it the settings that I need to change.
What I did, was only changing the SPL to HSPL, and did a sim unlock, and now I can't get my internet connections to work.
Thanks
Jun:
I have full access to other bands after flashing with Dutty's. However to get internet working I had to change from 1700MHz and WCDMA to auto-select on both.
Zhura:
I can use outlook and have got it setup with 2 gmail addresses ausing imap and a school address with POP3. I chose not to register/sign-up for emobiles 315/yen a month mail service because i see no need using these their emobile address.. I am interested in how your thing goes, i'd like to get japanese input working in a WWE menu ROM.
Harry:
Once i set the bands to autoselect everything was fine. I did have to change the "comm manager" setting to "GSM mode" and after that everything worked. I didn't do a SIM unlock though, so maybe that has something to do with your problem.
Hey guys,
Those of you with the new diamond radio here in Japan. Any chance you can extract it for us? I am running on a Raphael here in Tokyo and would luv to try out this radio to see if it has any local performance improvements. I have tried all the other radios, none of which seem to work so great here in Japan.
Thanks,

I did a ROM dump following a guide, before I flashed. Not sure if that has the radio in it or not but I have the four Part01.raw/part02.raw/etc files if someone can extract the radio from them I can upload them somewhere...
Thanks musato.
I will try the dutty rom than, probably try the v2.9.
By the way did you manage to get a Japanese writter on your English rom??

I can give it a try. Not done one yet but I dont mind hacking around with it to get my hands on the radio. Can you put them on one of the standard file sharing sites that we all use? Or do you need an ftp? if so let me know and I will PM ya.
Thanks,
Will put em up on the wiki in about 7 hours when I get home.
I got a form of Japanese input working, using the Ookii stuff, but it only lets me input using handwriting recognition, and it almost never works with my bad handwriting. Also, although I can input text, in emails/on the web all I get are boxes and [email protected]#$ signs where there should be Japanese characters. I tried switching the encoding, but Japanese is not an option.
Still hoping to get the original wm6 japanese ime installed via a cab or something. Maybe it can be extracted from the rom files I'm uploading later?
Musato.
in ref to the input.
give this a shot

Thanks for the reply; will try that out later when I have time.
Upload is running now, in the Diamond section: HTC Diamond JPN EMOBILE ROM.rar only goin at 30K/s, should be done in an hour or so. I don't know what version it is cause I forgot to check before I dumped it and flashed dutties.

Hey Musato,
I tried the V2.9 Dutty, it's working great, just I wasn't able to choose other bands. Choosing other bands meaning, I could not use another carriers sim card on this diamond.
Well the other thing is that the camera is not working well, can't take any pictures....
were you able to choose other bands, with other carriers? eg softbank using 2100mhz
Hi Musato,
Sorry, I might be going blind. Checked recent changes on wiki, searched the ftp sight under Diamond and uploads and dont see where the Japanese rom is. Could you let me know.
Thanks
I can't find the ROM too....
Will it be possible to post a link to it,
Thanks
I am about to buy a Rogers Diamond. Having owned 2 different Windows Mobile phones from them, I know they probably managed to limit the heck out of their Diamond so I was wondering if anyone that has a Rogers Diamond could tell me (us?) if they decided to limit software installation, GPS, internet etc etc.
If so, is there a fix?
If there's no english one I'll get the french one. Any flashing to standard english ROM possible right now?
Thanks in advance, can't wait!

PS: Gecko is coming soon, hopefully before Christmas!
well i got mine today, few board members got it as welll before me.
I haven't played too much with the phone yet, but up to now they dont seem like they played too much with it...
if you want to know:
ROM Version: 1.93.631.8 WWE
Radio Version: 1.00.25.06
ram: 192mb
flash size: 256mb
you can flash to anything you want as long as you HARD-SPL your phone, causing it to SuperCID.
You don't really have to worry about backing up your rom because you can find it here, a board member already got it for us to play around with.

Rogers Diamond
I got my Rogers branded HTC Diamond yesterday and so far it'll let me install any apps I want. Internet works through wifi and 3G. I can't find a way to turn off 3G connection. GPS works but acquiring sat lock takes like 5mins compared to my old EU/Asia Diamond which locks to sat in 30sec.
ROGERS 3G
Just want to share this. But I'm pretty sure this has been tackled in the forums already.
Rogers branded HTC Diamond doesn't have the option to turn of 3G through band selection. I found this registry hack to enable band selection and now I can turn 3G off.
Rogers default registry - OFF
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:0
Registry tweak to enable band changes
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:1
Now you can go to >start>settings>phone>band tab and change band settings to your choice. I switched mine to just use GSM instead of auto which always connects on 3G.

I'm having issue with gps sat lock taking so long and I suspect this radio version is the culprit. I might unlock and flash the radio on my phone. I've been reading this forum religiously for past 6 days now trying to understand how to unlock and flash my phone. The more I read the more I get confused.
I have the same radio but am not having any problem acquiring satellite lock. By the way, this radio is already posted in the radio thread at the top of the Rom Development forum.. so I don't know why someone said it was not seen before.
I hope someone can find or make a backup for the first splash screen (Rogers red, VGA). We have backups for the OS, SPL, and radio so far.

I know. It's just that sometimes I would select something which needs internet connection (ex; quickgps) accidentally and it will try to connect through 3G. My friend got billed by Rogers a hefty $3000++ for internet connection which he never used because he thinks he accidentally run internet in his phone and unknowingly left it. I like the option of enabling 3G only when I need it. Plus I read from this forum that 3G connection is one of the battery killers of Diamond.

I'm using iGO8 and on my now sold EU/Asia Diamond it worked pretty well. Now with the Rogers branded HTC Diamond it takes like somewhere from 3-5 mins to lock to a sat. It sees the satellites but just wouldn't lock to them. My old diam got 1.00.25.05 radio in it and I'm thinking of flashing my phone with the same radio but keeping the Rogers ROM since there not that bad and as quick and stable as some cooked ROMs out there.

$3000?? But I thought they max out the data plan at $100 if you go over. I'm on my first month so I haven't seen my first bill yet, but apparently I have used up a lot of voice call minutes even though I hardly used the phone to call!!! I leave my data on all the time so that I can check email every half hour.

I don't know. He doesn't have any data plan with rogers just voice so I guess he is like pay as you go for 3G.
And just like me with my old iPAQ PDA phone I get billed for data usage every now and then for something I've never used. The most I got was 40 bucks. Didn't bother complaining since my time getting on hold by customer service is worth more than $40.
hat gps application is used in your diamond?

I got my Rogers branded HTC Diamond yesterday and so far it'll let me install any apps I want. Internet works through wifi and 3G. I can't find a way to turn off 3G connection. GPS works but acquiring sat lock takes like 5mins compared to my old EU/Asia Diamond which locks to sat in 30sec.

Hi, I am about to buy the rogers diamond. Since GPS is my must have function in a smart phone, could you tell me what gps application is used in your diamond?
Do you know if iguidance 3.0 works in rogers diamond?
Thanks
FYI
I am using Tomtom 7.91 on Diamond, it has about 2-3 seconds lag, very annoying
I'm using iGO8. So far great that is if it locks to a sat signal. Nothing wrong with iGo8 but I think it the radio version that came with Rogers branded diam.
hpod06: when you say 2-3 sec lag, do mean that your position on the gps is 2-3 sec late from actual. If so then same here. And same with my other iPAQ gps phone. So I think it's not the gps apps thats causing this delay but the gps chip used by phone. Well the lag doesn't really bother me since gps apps announces your next maneuver before hand. Just need to get use to it.

The Rogers one is 1.00.25.06.. wouldn't that be better, if not almost the same (version number)?
I'll go driving tonight to test mine

I'm using Radio 1.00.25.08 on Roger's in Toronto...been quite happy with it's performance.
ROM v: 1.93.831.1 WWE
HTC Touch Diamond P3700
Avoid rogers diamond!
I had to exchange rogers diamond to iphone even though I am always not a apple fan.
For whatever reason, the performance of rogers diamond is unacceptable. i.e. Multiple applications running concurrently would just hang the system. It's like a single thread system
I called the customer service, and the customer service manager didn't explicitly deny the problem when i pointed out, which imply this could be a common issue to the rogers diamond. As I have been reading all the diamond review, bad performance seems a always an issue. Some said, it's being significantly improved after upgrading to the new firmware, but at least this is not the case on rogers diamond. Regardless the underlying reason, i highly doubt rogers did a real integration test on diamond!!
Hi all
Ive asked this in the orange thread and also searched for this, but cant seem to get a clear yes/no answer, hope someone can help.
I, for example, am on Orange, and use an Orange SIM.
The question is this, and a noobish one I quess: Being on Orange -- does having the official Orange Rom installed on my phone ofer me any advantages in terms of gprs/edge/ internet browsing speed? In other words, will my internet connection be faster if i have the official rom from Orange, or is this quite irrelevant, compared to (the much prefered) Roms on here? Is the official network Rom somehow "optimized" so that the internet speed is improved on a phone that runs on the same network? Orange Rom on Orange network, in this case?
Hope I make myself clear...Any clarification much appreciated! Thanks for everything...again!
Official carrier ROMs has almost got nothing to do in improving your signal strength or connection speeds. If you are concerned about that, you can different radio ROMs. But on the safe side, I suggest that if you are not having any problems, don't change anything.
Regardless of what ROM you use here, as long as you are not changing your radio. You wont have any significant change with your network connection. Fyi, as far as I know, there are 2 ROMs to use to flash a specific part in our phones. The PDA (Operating System) and radio (Phone).

Well explained.
@ skipper78 - If your looking to improve your signal, gps then your options would be to use apps like QuickGPS & HTC GPSTool or to update your radio.
Your network connection would not be altered changing to a cooked rom
Thanks a lot guys, that clarifies it once and for all -- i dont have to worry about using the undesirable orange ROM.
I am using Duttys V4.3 final, radio 1.14.25.24. Do you think this radio is one of the better options for me?
I like the rom very much -- and by the way my connection speed is not by any means "slow"--but obviously-- the faster the better.
And forgot to mention, its a blackstone.
Thanks again for the quick and clear replies!

We obviously assumed it was blackstone as your rom wouldn't have worked on another device and this is the HD forum
You are currently using the latest official radio, though signal strength also depends on location. If you want to try a non-official radio like 1.16 which I am using you would need to security unlock your device first and then download it from here.
As for which radio is best for you, you have 2 options:
1. Read each radio thread and see what results others have had in your location
2. Try each radio (only is 3-4 official ones and 3-4 un-offical, though I would only try 1.16 as it is the better of the 4)
Yes, after reading it i thought it was a bit pointless adding that
But hey many thanks for the explanations and links. Im in south america at the moment so im not really using data connection much, way to expensive -- as soon as im back in the uk i will experiment with a few different radios. How come you prefer the 1.16 if you dont mind me asking? Do you find it gives you faster connection speed?
Cheers!

I wrote a reciew on the 1.16 thread. Bsically it had a better GPS fix, better signal stength & slight improvement on battery
I'm closing this thread as everything appears to have been answered.
