htc diamond freezing

Hi!
i am new here, and i do have a problem.
I have my HTC Diamond since 2 weeks, and it is blocking (freezing) once per day: the device is on standby, i try to turn it on, but nothing happens, always a black screen, not even the restart button works; the only solution is to remove and put back the battery.
the issue is that if someone calls me during this "freeze", he gets that my phone is ringing; but i get nothing; and not even a missed call after i succeed to turn it on.
- ROM version: 1.93.479.3 WWE
i highly appreciate if somone can help me with this problem.
thanks,
Tony

I've had this exact problem, but the reset button on the back does work when this happens. I'm in the US on T-Mobile in NYC using a European Diamond. I work in a building that has very weak T-Mobile coverage and I've found that I only get the problem when I am at work. On the weekends and at night, the problem never happens because I am usually in an area that has either no coverage or good coverage. I have not eliminated the problem, but I have discovered that setting the network type to "GSM" and the band to "UMTS(850+1900)GSM(850+1900)" reduces the incidence of the problem for me to once every few days. I'd love to hear a good solution to the problem as well.

sounds like a problem with the Radio, it could be that the weak signal is causing the phone problems.
Try flashing a newer Radio version, and make sure all the settings (as Drachen said) are correct.
If you arent happy with Flashing a Radio, then send it back and get a repacement (chances are it will have newer firmware)

I have the exact same issue as you have. I had basically tried all sorts of ROMS, be it stock or cooked. It seems that since the upgrade to all v1.93 roms, this problem became more frequent.
Check this link here. I posted some screenshots of my problems there.
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=102551
I've tried Vic's rom, Swift's roms, stock 1.93 rom with stock spl etc.. all with no success. it would be stable for the first 1-2 days after flashing, but immediately after that, it will happen like twice a day.
Like your case, I'm having this "whitenoise" screen (instead of a blank screen, which i used to have at times also) and I tried calling myself from my land line. I can hear the ringing but my phone does not respond.
So since then, here's my suggestion.
DISABLE your TouchFlo3D. Use default Today screen or SPB Mobile Shell. Thats what I did and I haven encountered a single issue since then for 2 days straight. Try it for a day or two to see.
Base on my analysis, our Diamonds has a defect on the 3D gpu chip. Cos corruption only occurs on programs using the HTC 3D driver (e.g. the OpenGLES api from Koush) while normal 2D functions is perfect.
I am waiting for the next ROM update to see if it fixes the issue before I send in my set for repair before my warranty ends, but I feel its gonna be hard to replicate the issue to the service engineer.

I'm going to wait until the end of the week to declare that the problem has been solved, but I'm having a LOT of luck with the latest radio ROM (v1.00.25.BS14) since it was posted on Fri morning (for me), and have had no freezing problems through the end of Tues. Tony1313, try upgrading to the latest radio ROM on the radio ROM thread in the development forum for a while and see if it helps you. Another set of eyes on the problem would be good.
knave, I don't think the cause of the problem for you is the same as it is for me. I haven't gotten any graphical glitches yet on my Diamond and I've only seen the snow screen you're talking about once when charging overnight (in the 3 months I've had the Diamond). As I mentioned, the crashes only happen in one location (my office) and never happen after-hours, weekends or on vacation. The two things I did to reduce the frequency of problems (that helped) were to change Exchange Activesync from "Automatic" to "Manual" during work hours and to set the bands in the control panel as above. All that makes me believe my problem is radio/reception related.

Hi Drachen I did a similar thing to you except I set it too GSM + AUTO it solved my SOD problems completely. Here is my story.
I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.
The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.
Also read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.
Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.

i have freezes many times each day, even if im using it with no sim card. i don't even know what to do.
i have a stock rom.

I bet you got the 1.93 ROM and not 2.03, go update to it!

My problem is:
when a turn it on, it just show htc background and that's all
who faced with this problem?

[Q] 3G and network signal problem

Hi,
I recently updated to Froyo using the registry hack, i was on uk orange jf3 before.
Since being on it i have constantly been struggling with the 3g and the network signal, at first i thought the 3g was disconnecting when i turned the wifi on but then the network signal starting disappearing and it would show the circle symbol with the diagonal strike through it to show that it was not picking up any networks.
I read somewhere that cycling flight mode might solve the issue, but for some reason once i turn on/off flight mode it just hangs at that stage and will not change until after a restart.
I have also tried formatting both the internal and ext sd cards and i have done a factory reset twice.
Nothing has helped, it connects to 3g initially (which shows that it shouldn't be a setting problem?) and the network signal is also fine initially but then after a short amount of time or inactivity or switching on wifi the 3g won't connect and the network signal just dies.
If anyone has any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it i would really appreciate it.
Having a phone that can't make or receive calls when i need it to is really f'ing me off.
P.s. I have read and searched other topics for help on this but nothing so far has helped.

Might be something like I have? But I got no reply here...

Yer i read your post, what i don't understand is that it was totally fine in 2.1 and now in 2.2 it's messed up, not sure if that is the same for you?
I think it is something to do with it being for Norwegian users not UK and that somehow affects it.
I have checked the apn and it all seems correct, do you also have the issue with flight mode not working properly?

Just found this on an internet search...
: Samsung Galaxy S v2.2/Froyo update
Posted: 5 days ago in response to: stefan
Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!
Kind Regards

Not sure exactly what that means but it sure sounds like this might be the problem i am having.
I would be interested to know if other UK orange users have been having problems?
I would also like to know if it is possible for me to go back to to a previous version so i can actually use my phone.

I am orange uk, and have similar problem at home, but works well at office. Maybe it is due to the barrier of signal. if the signal level is lower than this barrier, only emergency call can be.
I do not know how to do but my friend advised me to update the moderm

[Q] Wi-Fi To 3G

Hi,
Got a really annoying issue with my Nexus One that has been happening since the Froyo days, when I leave home to go to work I turn the Wi-Fi off on my phone to save battery. Sometimes I use the widget sometimes I go through the settings.
The problem is that the 3G doesn't alway's kick in, the only way for me to get 3G working is to turn my phone off and on which always works.
Any suggestions on why this is happening and how to resolve them?
I am running Stock Ginger Bread on my Nexus One on the the Vodafone network in the UK.

Try checking your signal strength: *#*#4636#*#*
You can try to enable 3G only and see if you can keep a signal.
My signal is sometimes intermittent due to topography. Stupid flat Ohio. Haha

Thanks, it won't be that though because once I turn the phone off then back on it's there. Also once I turn W-Fi off and 3G doesn't kick in, then it won't do untill I restart. Also another reason why I know this isn't the case is because even when I do this at work 3G doesn't kick in and there is a Vodafone 3G mast on the roof

never seen this problem before, but it sounds like something that might have to be fixed by doing a full wipe and reflashing your ROM. i know its drastic, so maybe do a nand backup first. then flash and see if the problem remains. if its still there, than just go right back to your backup and no harm and nothing lost. worth a shot.

I'm on a stock Nexus One unrooted so I shouldn't have to Root to fix an Android problem. Never Rooted before but considering it.

I got the exact same problem with Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs, can't remember if I had that issue with MIUI ROMs, but definitely with CyanogenMod ROMs.
Instead of rebooting the phone I suggest switching flight mode on/off it's faster than a full reboot
Haven't found any real solution yet and always thought I'm teh only one with that problem as I couldn't find any other person with that issue. Right now I'm testing different Radio/ROM combination and if that doesn't work I'll need to check if any app is causing the problem.
Any chance you are using Tasker?

I used to use Tasker but uninstalled it when I thought that it was causing this, it wasn't. Thanks for the tip about airplane mode, worked a treat.

Wireless and network signals recently very low

Hi all,
Within the past week or so, I've noticed a fairly large drop in the signal strength from both my wireless lan and 3g signals. With the cell signal, it was even dropping to edge sometimes when I was outside in an area which used to give me full bars. Wireless isn't much better, and it seems to be fluctuating between 4/5 signal and 2/5 signal even though I'm close to my router. Again, I used to have full signal in the same location. Nothing really would have changed.
Yesterday I tried flashing Continuum (2.3.4) instead of running the stock 2.2 that I had before. The 3g signal seems to be *slightly* more consistent, although I'm still not at full bars, whereas I always was before.
Is this a common occurrence? Is it my hardware, and can I fix it myself, or do I need to send it in to Rogers? I've only had the phone for about 6 months now. I wonder if it's under warranty still (assuming I flash back the original ROM and bootloader).

If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated. It's odd, but the wifi signal almost gets boosted when I'm trying to use the internet, but not to full bars even when I'm near the router.

Bump. Is this the wrong place to ask this question?
Cheers

My AT&T Captivate has similar issues. Mine started about a month ago. I haven't put any effort into figuring out the root cause.

Yeah, I'd really like to figure out what's up though. Does the hardware just crap out after a few months of use? Thanks samsung!

This trend happened with my HTC Aria as well. I don't believe its anything related to Samsung hardware crapping out.

So, if it's software, what would be consistent across a ROM and kernel flash?

I recently fixed a network error effecting call quality by flashing a new modem. I know our issues are different, but since you did flash new ROM i dont think it could hurt.

Stumbled across this article on Toms Hardware today and felt like it was a good read for this thread.

Unfortunately it's not just my wifi that has issues, but 3g as well.

Have you tried flashing a different modem? The one that came with your current rom may be different than you had before which would account for your weaker signals. Different modems work better in different areas. Try something else and see if it doesn't help, such as JK4 or JL3.

I haven't yet, but I actually had the problem before I flashed the ROM.

Where are you located. I have absolutely ATROCIOUS reception in Atlanta, and ATT says they have some 50 towers down. Your area might be the same. In my basement where I used to have 3 bars consistently, i know have to run around the basement struggling to get one bar to send a text. ATT needs to get their act together or everyone might start switching to Verizon.

In Toronto, Canada. We usually have good reception. It's only recently that I have had issues.

check with other people such as your family and see if they have bad service too, if so call your service provider, there may be an issue on their end. Other than that all I can suggest would be a full reset to factory and a master clear and then restart from there. While that is annoying, it might be worth it to solve the problem.

Signal and Data Issues

Today my note randomly dropped signal, Then it wouldnt pick up a data connection even when it did have signal. Now it randomly jumps to 5 bars before going back to none :/ I Reflashed my rom and it made no difference. Have tried multiple modems, and even restored a backup from before any issues occured. Nothing seems to be working and i have no idea why! It couldnt be anything to do with the efs could it? I mean i haven't touched it at all and i do have backups.
Any help is much appreciated!

it's a shame no one has any ideas on this. Mine has just started doing the same thing. First noticed a week ago when my Dad was unable to call me. It's starting to annoy me a little!

I had i problem before, suddenly the downloading is so slow, i though my sim is the culprit. I tried to clean install and reflash, still the problem persist. The last thing did i format my internal sd and the problem is solved. I hope this help.

Hi Bud,
How's it been? How's the android development going on so far?
First of all, I would still commend you on your app (carbon tweaks) that have work wonders on my phone till now. Your app is simply awesome in making my phone simply 'sings'! . I truly appreciate your great efforts making that app carb. Such an amazing app indeed.
Anyway, going back on your issue. Have you tried changing ROMS already? Stock /ICS ROMS? is the issue still there amidst flashing different ROMS already?
Now if you say YES, How bout your network carrier or provider? have you called them up also? If not, you can try calling them.
The reason for that is, I too have the same issue as you have now. I was pissed off to the max on why I can't get full signal on my phone. Network connectivity would halt to a grinding slow up to the point of no connection and no signal at all.. then the signal would come back and it would disappear again. I tried everything as well, rebooted, flash ROMS, kernels, modems, wipe, but the issue woudn't go away still.
On the last effort I did, I called my carrier here in Portsmouth (AT&T) and I asked the operator if they have some upgrades going on on my location. And what comes to me as a surprise was that the at&t operator said YES they do have a network upgrade/s in my location and told me to just be patient and bear with them. I was about to blast them with all my frustrations but the girl operator was meekly apologetic and offered me some data packages added to my plan(that I simply can't refuse to deny).
Anyway, after that call, I waited till they've finally did an uptime on their end and in no time at all my my signal was back full bars and going strong on my phone.
Moral to the story is that... sometimes we are too pre occupied looking for answers INSIDE our phone that we fail to notice the OUTSIDE factors (that still counts) that makes our phone work also.
Cheers carb! :highfive:

Thanks for the comments about my app man I have to admit updates have been a little space lately but im young and not going to neglect my social life I really do owe you for the support though man! I will be sure to update you on any future projects I have
Turned out my issue was that my operator (o2) went down for most the country that day so that caused my issues and I just didn't realise xd

See? I told you it was just your carrier messing up with your connection.
I advised you on that and you called them up. It greatly saved much efforts on your time delving and sulking on the issue on your phone when the fact of the matter is.. it was not your phone at all having the issue... It was actually your carrier.
Next time bud, if your getting some weird connection problems.. my advice is, don't tinker directly down on your phone. Check your network/carrier first and see if they have some upgrades being implemented on your area.
Cheers bud!
