Okay, a year ago I received X1 from my daddy and never been used (still in packaged). When my O2 mini was broken month ago, I opened the package and used X1. But I found some annoying hardware (or software) thing from this Luxurious XDA.
1. Annoying 'OK' button, sometimes it's working but sometimes not. Very annoying, is it normal?
:: I've read about keyboard faulty design but they usually happened to 'space' button ::
2. Very slow, after xperia boot up screen it needs 15 seconds (Black screen) to enter Windows Mobile screen, is it normal?
:: FYI, I have 70% FREE RAM and 50% FREE Storage and 40% FREE SD Card::
3. It's always getting very hot when I used the XDA for receiving radio, is it normal?
4. I'm on plane twice a day to go to my office, it's annoying that I can't use the bluetooth (X1's in flight mode) to sync data from my laptop while my plane is cruising, is it really like that?
Can somebody clear 'em for me? Or really it's all the syndrome that is caused by savinng my X1 in pacakge for year?
Or does it mean,I have to buy another new XDA?

1 I never really use the Ok button so cant help you there, I normally use the screen or keyboard or the pad. the keyboard can be a bit funny sometimes, but you can clean it.
2 You could try a different rom. Several of the roms on this site load up very fast.
3 I have noticed it can get fairly hot if I am using the radios for data transfer after a bit of use
4 In comm manager you can turn the phone off and the bluetooth on. You do not need to use flight mode. Flight mode is for those airlines that do not like ANY radios on at all.
Hope this helps

Compared to what? It's a mobile phone camera, it's never going to compare to a dedicated digital camera so if your expectations are too high you'll never be satisfied.

I presume you mean after a soft reset? That's normal, the Diamond isn't just a cellphone, it's effectively a computer and computer's take time to boot up, that's just the way of things. I'm not sure why this is an issue for you because you shouldn't really have to soft reset the thing as part of day-to-day usage anyway so the time it takes should be of little consequence.

That's be design, it's so you don't end up activating any of the phone functions while you've got it pressed against your ear to listen to the call. A lot of people do moan about this but I've never really understood why, you can't see the screen when you've got it pressed against the side of your head anyway so why does it matter if the screen switches off? And even if you do need to see the screen, just hit the power button to toggle it back on again, not a big deal surely?

Yeah, the battery is pretty ****e. The only advice I can offer is to switch off power hungry functions you're not using like wi-fi, HSDPA, Bluetooth etc as those will all hit the battery hard.
im not affected by points 1 - 4 as they are pretty minor to me.
Crashes are what seems to be my main problem as everyday there will be at least 2 crashes where my phone ceases to switch back on from sleep mode and gives a black screen till a soft reset.
After which, I will have no reception whatsoever and further resets will cause my phone to unable to find my SIM card. However, the problem persists till I get 1/2 batt, where i will get my reception back for the rest of the day
It gets really intermittent sometimes as in sometimes in the morning or sometimes at night, but never when im at the shop trying to return it
just always at least once or twice a day no matter what.
I have already switched to a new diamond twice as I had different problems with every one, each was extremely critical.
so will flashing a cooked rom help? or a new radio?
I have everything on stock as i have to hard reset it at least once a week.
does anyone have any similar problems? or did i just win the lottery 3 times

Dude:
ALL your questions have been addressed 1000 times.
Step in XDA Devs with respect and start a search before cluttering up the site with same stuff. Search and read like we all did at one point.
Crashes: My jewel probably crashes once a month and that it, that is very understandable.
Anyhow Welcome.
someone help me out too with my diamond problem please?
anyone ?
The search button doesn't bite
Also providing some info regarding ROM and Radio would provide us with more info.
Thread is closed for the obvious reasons..

It's not software's problem, it's more hardware problem, exactlier touch screen problem, for this kind problem we can't do anything, just to send phone to repairing service, and to hope , problem will'not repeat, but from my expirience, just after 10-15 days of using, touch screen start to not responding, i scarried all htc diamonds after some period, became same, and i think this is generally problem of htc diamond 1st generation, maybe for htc diamond 2 , htc company solved this "strange" and big problem, cause this situation means, give money for nothing and problems!
Giving 2 years warranty is ****, if phone will start 3rd year of using with same problem, maybe is better to give 5 years of warrant , cause this problem
I don't know if you've fixed this but i had this very problem and it turned out if you wiped the screen over once then it would be okay.. strange i know but theres quick fix that worked for me.
I had the same problem, I send it to service and tey changed the display
I've same problem, the screen only works well when phone is cold, after warms up it shows the same sintoms
Got the same problem here - when the phone is cold its 99% ok, when it gets warm (or even hot due CPU heavy to flash websites), it starts with this touch screen "dance" (and empties the battery in maybe 2 hours by not going into sleep mode).
But I found out that somehow giving the lower screen border a "massage" does help. I guess there is some screen to board connection behind, which does not get 100% contact when the device is warm/hot.
last tuesday diamond came back from service with new screen....today the same problem

Well i tried to make some pressure but same problem. I can disassemble the phone and see if something is not in place, and also use some contact spray to improve connection. Did someone try something like that?
i had the same problem as you due to water damage from using it after a shower. sent it off for warranty and they sent me a refurbished one. sending it off again because it had bad whites and a dodgy centre button.
to bypass the screen alignment screen create a file called "welcome.not" and put it in the root directory of the phone. not in the internal storage, you must put it in the device storage.

Hi,
I'm using my Xperia as mobile navigtion while I'm riding my motorbike. Two days ago I was driving on the highway...when suddenly my music stopped and my device startet a Phonecall (to the last person I called) - this happened THREE TIMES in half a hour! (kinda expensive...)
While I'm using TomTom (or any other GPS software) I cannot turn the keylock in, because then the software won't get any GPS-signal.
Now I wanted to know if anybody knows a registry-string I have to change that GPS would work while I'm using for example TomTom and listening to music and turn the keylock on.
I updated my Rom to R3AA007 few days ago...but with older ROMs it's the same...
As far as i know, most of nav-progs have a lock-while-drive-mode, maybe the tomtom too.
that'S not enough. when you break at a traffic-light, the lock may be removed because it's only active over a defined speed. but when I'm using it with my motorbike, it's in my pocket...and everytime the touch-display could be touched....even if I stop at a traffic light
Looks like we have the same problem. I'm also interested to know how to work around this.
if you don't like to se quickGPS, you could turn your phone off and on again (without entering the pin number....if you leave it off, tomtom tells you, that you are using flight-mode ) but I'd like to use quickGPS...
does nobody have an idea?
perhaps some keywords to search in the regitstry...??
up...perhaps somebody now has got any idea...
keylock is not the problem.
i bet 5$ that u have used the included headset right?
the bulky part where you connect ur earphones is the problem. the tiny switch used for accepting calls is either totaly borked or the connector itself is. i have exact the same problem. i called a mate like 20 times.
i use my phone to listen to music while i drive my motorcycle any my keypad is locked all the time. it doesnt realy matter why prog u are running.
when u press the little button short or long (cant remember) it starts calling the last person on your dial list. somehow this button seem to be pretty sesitive to movements. this also works when the keypad is locked.
so either we buy a new headset or we find teh registry entry which defines the use of this worthless button
Hi guys!
I have a big problem with my G1. I purchased it in eBay from other user, and it has normal scrach in the corners.
The phone came with standard firmware (1.0) so I made a upgrade and rooted it. I've it in Cyanogen 4.2.4.
*The first problem is the battery performance, charging full it runs on "stand by" almost 7 to 8 hours, maybe 2 o 3 calls of 4/5 minutes, 2 or 3 SMS and no more...(all turned off:GPS/WiFi/BT/low backlight)
Right, I bought another generic battery from eBay, and it was worst! It runs about 5 hours on stand by...
I tryed a lot of things, reading about battery issues of other users and made a battery reset (dischargue it until the phone doesn't turn on and then charge it to 100%, x3 or x4 times). I've installed "Advanced task manager" to stop all the apps in background and the problem continues...
Comparing with a friend's G1, I found in mine G1 the "Spare parts" app from Cyanogen Rom, in the tab "battery history" where said "time spent without sleeping: 97%" and the my friend's G1 is about 10% max... so, this indicates that my G1 is doing something that I can't see because it's warm when I carry it in my pocket. (in "spare parts" appears that twice batts are Health:OK)
I tryed taking off the SD card, and nothing.
I tryed a hard reset, and runing some days without installing extra apps and nothing, the battery performance is veeery poor!
*The other problem that the G1 has, is when I take off my pocket (is warm) to answer a call or simply do something and the screen turns black! I see the backlight but nothing appears... I should press many times the "end call button" to make the screen back...It happens a lot of times around the day...
I don't know if this problem have something related with the battery issue.
I likeee a lot Android, but the @$%&# G1 is a troublee, I'm soooo bored with it!
I'm thinking that this issues are a hardware problem, I dismantled the G1, carefully and all were ok, none of the flex that communicates the boards seems bad...so I don't know what to do!
Pleeease help meeee!!!
Thanks all the people that take time to read and answer it, I appreciated!!!
I'll be pending for your answers! =)
[Sorry for my baaaad english, I'm learning. ]
*****
EDIT: I've 5 Google Wave Invitations, if somebody want it, plz tell me and I'll give it to you!
Turn off Auto Rotate so your accelerometer isn't always on. You could turn off syncing too.
Upgrade to a 2.0 ROM, I've had great battery life.
Your english is fine btw...better than many Americans...
Thanks Deathwish238, for your help! (tks too for your comment about my english )
I already have the Auto Rotate off and the auto syncing too.
But now the battery issue is not the "important" problem...I'm having a lot of problems with the screen, I should push the "end call" button about 10 or more times, or change the battery reperdly and finally works. But, imagine if you want to anwer a call or make an urgent call!!! I couldn't!
I'm so bored with this issues, I wanna throw it!!!! But my love for Android is more! XD
I wanna fix it, but I need to know what is the problem...
check that your backlight isnt staying on whenyou close G1 - that would drain the battery fairly fast - easiest to check in a dark place - just look between screen and keyboard
might not be the issue but worth checking
cqms13, thanks for your comment! =)
I checked that before, and no, the backlight is not staying on.
I'm worried about the heat of the phone when I carry it in my pocket, the phone is doing nothing (and all turned off too, just the cell radio) and is so heat when I pull off from the pocket... That could be the origin of the problems with the screen and the low performance of the battery...
How can I discover what's generating the heat??
Hi all,
recently one of my Kaisers died, still got one left though. It made me wonder:
- Is your device still alive?
- Who is using it as their daily device?
Use the poll and post your story :victory:
(And tell us what rom you are running)
My SIM slot doesn't work. I actually, don't have any working device working right now... I was using Android but it just got too much corruption and I was too lazy to do the partitions again, so I just installed some WinMo ROM.
Yep mines still going strong... Love it.... is my Work phone... Have 4 spare batteries so when away for long periods it is a god send... Not the fastest phone around but damn reliable!!!! Tried Android on it but never managed to get a decent FULL hardware working version on it... so went back to just winmo...
even have a spare waiting in the wings when current one died. LOL
battery replacement needed
Amazingly, even though my touchscreen died, the rest of the phone is working. I am using keyboard-kung-fu to navigate.
My battery is about to die/explode, it has expanded so much that the rear cover literally can not be closed properly.
I ordered a replacement from a local shop, and when it arrived, it was DOA because the stock was TOO OLD!! CRAZY!
I currently use my phone as a 3G modem (connected to my LAN router via USB)
Does anyone have any suggestions on home-making a replacement battery?
I have tried:
1) wiring up the + and - lines from a 3.7v LiIon notebook cell (device won't power on, but the green LED flashes if i hold down the power button). (Size does not matter - the phone sits on a windowsill)
2) wiring up a battery from an HTC Touch HD (only 3 connectors, not 4) -- same situation as #1
3) bought a replacement battery - new old stock from HTC - and it was DOA
4) bought a replacement battery - from some other manufacturer but I don't remember the name -- same deal, DOA
Is there any way to wire up any other battery? Size doesn't matter-- anything with compatible wiring will be OK with me.
Any suggestions?
of course!
it was last time i looked about 2 months ago
now ive seen this thread i will have to check again once i get home.
it was dropped several times. had the case replaced twice - the whole phone casing i mean.
first time was just because it looked a bit tatty
second time was after i dropped it while reading the gps on my mountain bike (yeah i know, not the cleverest thing ive ever done), i was crashed on the deck and could see my bike sliding one way and the phone another on its front side must have been one of the very few times that i was on my bike without the aluminium case and safety line
it would still look like new if my wife hadnt dropped it on the pavement, only minor scratches that time...
i still remember when i used to show it to people and they were impressed with the bright touch screen,
then i would slide the case open using the mario sound and the keyboard would light up and they were really amazed
happy days eh?
I use mine like an iPod now (kinda). I go to youtube and do web browsing
I use mine almost daily, on my second network on which i have an unlimited data plan. I flashed it with scoot's cyanogenmood 7*, in order to keep it working better than with winmo .
Kaiser
I still use it weekly. Winmo 6.5. I still like the simple ability to click on a phone number in an email and go straight to the dialler without copy and paste.

Android does that.
I pulled mine out of its box in the basement after it had sat there since Aug. 16, 2010 (based upon the last text message date), and not only did it accept a charge, but it booted right up. It's sitting on my desk right now while I cycle the battery a couple of times before deciding exactly what to do with it.
Windows Mobile Rocks!!!!
I still use mine everyday for calling texting and browsing it's not superfast but it is still better than any of them fisher-price apples.
@mfsr98: how do you make an i-pod out of a windows device? Did you blend it? or did you ran over it with your truck?
