Anyone here have the Diamond on Rogers?

Any fellow canucks with the rogers branded HTC Diamond?
Mine's on order and I can't wait to start modifying and tweaking the ROM... Any pointers on what to do first would be great. I will share my experiences later on so others with rogers diamonds will know what to do...
Thanks,

hey mr_yellow
i'm interested to see how the rogers branded diamond performs.
i have diam100 model from asia with .05 radio, which works quite well on the 850mhz band.
I'm hoping for some miracle for a radio with 3G support. Maybe u can shed some light on that when it's in your hands?

What do you mean exactly by on order? I have not seen it on the website and none of the reps seem to know anything obout it. Anyways, I was tired of waiting I took the plunge and got the HD.

The HTC Diamond is actually in the system now... Official Launch is Dec 3rd (tomorrow). but I got a rep that knew about it and I'm having it shipped to me.
too bad you went with the HD. you're going to miss the 3.5G. 7.2mbit HSDPA connection!

Yea I just called,
They said they do have the HTC Diamond and when I asked about pricing, he said he couldn't tell me much, all I saw there, 3yrs/649$

Well I am a relative noob, but from what I understand from nunerous sources including Rogers tech reps the data connection is no where near the "maximum" speed. I also thought I understood that Rogers only has 3g and not 3.5g or is that the same thing? Anyways, I won't miss out because I don't have any data now. I won't pay the monthly charges for something I hardly ever use. I do use WIFI from time to time since I live in downtosn Toronto and there are quite a few hotspots around.

yep
Just got mine tonight.
Still tweaking. haven't reflashed or unlocked it yet.
So far, so great. Faster than my Tytn was, but still subjective.
Will update you as things go.

Nice man!
How is it? Did they add anything to it or?
Is it written rogers anywhere on it? (just asking haha )
I'm debatting like you may have seen on my other thread if i should buy it factory unlocked or branded from rogers...
How much did you get it for btw?

all good
its good so far, still loading things to get it functional like my old tytn.
Rogers mostly left it alone. Some bloatware, but just links to vision stuff.
I thinks its CID /SIM locked, so I gotta unlock before I flash anything.
no rogers logos on the device, just on the box.
really nice phone so far, gotta learn to live with the 4gb, had a 16gb in my tytn....
I'm Tier4, so my CSR quoted me 299 with a 3yr re-sign...

Rogers Name Display
!!! to all whom have a new rogers diamond !!!
i need your help getting name display to work on my unlocked euro/asia version diamond.
a thread exists already trying to solve this, see here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347882
as you can see there are a lot of wm users using a variety of devices on rogers having this issue.
please upload your rilgsm.dll file in windows folder or any .dll beginning with "ril", here.
now i'm gonna need help getting this working so if you are exprienced with wm plz help. i have had my diamond since May, and have been waiting since for this rom to be avaliable.
if you can dump the whole rom and post it that will be more helpful, as i can post the link in the general dev and hacking, and it will be pounced on by those user also.
i am so tired of seeing "unknown caller" every time someone calls lol

I think it will help the community a lot if we can figure out how to grab a copy of the official Rogers ROM (so that we can reflash back to stock if something goes wrong).
After that, we can focus on things like App/CID/SIM unlocking...

Name display at Rogers/Fido
I agree with Blazeitup123
I also fed up with unknown caller
I pay for the Name Display and I dont have it.
nanastas: Could you upload the rilgsm.dll
Thanks

Anyone unlocked their Rogers HTC Diamond yet. I'm thinking of doing it, sim unlocking and maybe flashing a better ROM.
Anyone tried already please post results.

hey how did you manage to get the phone for such an amazing price without data plan. can you please pm me. thanks.

Just got mine today. Nice change from the Hermes.
The only problem is that they sent me the french version. Not a big deal since there is no keyboard and I will be flashing a new english ROM anyway.

I got mine on the first day it was launched. So far it is really a good little phone (I am coming off using a 2G iPhone)
The tweaks I found here had made the phone even better!

why need CID unlocked, and SIM Unlocked.?

i got my rogers htc diamond, my cid works perfectly out of the box.
gps works perfectly, i have google maps and tomtom 7 installed and they both work great and is very accurate

Just got a new Diamond... but... WHAT KIND IS IT?

I just got an HTC Touch Diamond a couple days ago, but browsing this forum, I'm not sure where to start.
First of all, I live in Winnipeg, Canada, and even on the HTC Website it only shows Telus, Bell, and Rogers as selling HTC products in Canada. I've got MTS. I wouldn't be worried (it's probably a Bell phone) but I go into this forum and there's people going 'Oh it's a CDMA only thing!' and I don't know if my phone is CDMA or not, or if it's even a Diamond 2 or a Diamond 1... anyone know how I'd find out?
Thanks.

if it don't have a sim slot it would be cdma

well I looked everywhere, no SIM card slot as far as I see, so I guess it's CDMA. Thanks.

in which case be careful that you only flash CDMA ROM's on your Diamond.

Check the model # on the label under the Battery. It should be just above the white portion of the label. {i.e. HTC P3700 DIAM100 ... <this is mine}. Then clicke the "Device Database" link at the top of this page. enter your model # in the search area of PDADB {top left}. This will tell you all you need to know about your phone.
Also: GSM phones use IMEI #'s & CDMA Use ESNs for identification. {NEVER give these #s out}

Telstra users!! Help please!

hey all
if anyone here got telsta stock rom. i am sending it back to telstra. please post it here.thanks for help

Why?
Why do you want a stock telstra ROM? i got mine from telstra and it just had stupid amounts of advertising better to flash with some of the ROMS the guys have brought out.

yup i am sending it back because i got 11 dead pixels and i wanna replace it

Just out of curiosity, what was the cost for the tp2 through Telstra?

Can I just confirm that all of the custom ROMs on xda for the TP2 actually work with the Telstra version?

The Telstra ROM has a few nice apps like Jetcet Print (for mobile printing) and Jetcet Presenter (for editing Powerpoint slides). Telstra ROM also has some free goodies like WhereIs which let you download the maps with no data charge. And there are free BigPond news, Yellow Pages, Sensis, etc....

yes they do. I have a TP2 from telstra and i use Miri's ROM 1.2. you do have to make sure the phone is unlocked, you can buy an unlocked phone off of Ebay, or you can pay to have the phone unlocked.

So just making sure, with the TP2 from Telstra, that works in the US, AU and CAN...
I can use the European OEM ROM and it won't be any problem, even though it's for an EU device when putting it on an AU device?
There isn't a problem with connections, radios and all?

um.. i have a brand new telstra touch pro 2 and i flashed hard spl and then tried 6 diff roms miri, fusion, energy, itje touch it and they all worked as far as the phone software went as soon as i got a call i couldnt here them and they couldnt here me soo i went back to stock and fone works perfect again i realy dnt no why i cant have a custom rom .. soo if ya no of a way i can let me no other then that i confirm other roms dnt work on telstra touch pro 2
NATAO

Telstra Touch Pro 2
I work for telstra and got their TP2 but it was to full of advertising i searched and found a WWE Europe edition which is basically the same thing without the rubbish and have had no problems. no problems fixed however i still have to hit the symbols key twice in keyboard mode to bring it up anyone else had this issue?

did you buy your phone from Telstra? is your phone SIM unlocked? If you bought it from Telstra then it is not an unlocked phone and you will have to pay to have it unlocked. you will still be able to HSPL and flash but your phone won't work. You can pay Telstra a fee and they will unlock it for you or you can go on this forum and find the unlocking thread, you still will have to pay them.

Yes that is correct if you have HSPL, you can flash another TP2 ROM, i have done it many times, I am using a ROM for EU on my phone in the US on a phone I bought from AU

Does your phone have the 3G 850/2100 bands? How does the 850 band work on AT&T in the US? I'm so damn tired of waiting for AT&T to come out with the Touch Pro 2.
Also, where'd you get the phone?

I'm using Optus with my T-mobile TP2 in Hobart and its work really well.
: ) I got mine for $500 US.

It was recently posted in the TP2 Rom section on that "other" HTC forum.
BTW - For any impatient folks like me in U.S., I'm using the Telstra TP2 for full 3G on AT&T with no problems!

Have you changed or edited the radio to work better on the AT&T network?
I'm having problems connecting when I'm in downtown Toronto (I'm from Canada, using the Telstra TP2 on Rogers) but I don't know if it's because of the phone, or my service provider and their 'known connectivity issues'...
I see that there is a version of the AT&T radio to change to, have you resorted to that to perhaps enhance or 'upgrade' your HSPA 850mhz radio?

My HTC Touch diamond has never been recognized by HTC!!!

Quick story:
I bought it off dell.com like 2 years ago. I saw there was an update for it, so I went on HTC's website and put in my S/N. It said it didn't recognize it. I tried returning it to dell, but it was after the 15 day return period. So, I got screwed...and out of frustration I just cut my losses, forgot to put it on ebay, and threw it in the closet.
What should I do? I'm thinking about just installing a custom rom on it and throwing it to a friend but there are too many....any recommendations on what my next step should be?
Oh yea, to note, this is the GSM version of the HTC Touch Diamond. I've seen roms for the CDMA version...but not the GSM

I have a same issue but I always use custom rom therefore I don't care about it.

Is it a branded diamond?
The HTC site doesn't allow you to update branded Diamonds. For example, it doesn't recognize the S/N for my O2 branded Diamond.
Just put in a custom rom, they're much better than the official ones albeit more prone to bugs. Try different roms to see which you like best. Don't forget the flash the HARD SPL first.

normal ROMs are for GSM, if it says CDMA, then its for the CDMA.

Hi guys
I head the same problem during a support.
It is surely due to the fact that the mobile is "branded".
