I am really struggling with this phone!
Yes it looks great.. and the 3d touch flo looks great.
But the blo*dy thing is crap at doing what it is designed for... being a phone.
When trying to get it going after it has been sleeping it can take an age... totally unresponsive...
I need a phone to work properly and not just sit there and look shiny!
I have added the enhancements and am using the Elite 2.0 rom..
Cheers
the problem with TF3D disable it
or
upgrade to latest rom
Blimey last poster you really don't read things before you post your sharp responses do you?! That's at least two from you today. Seems to be quite the habit on this forum which is depressing for a new person on the block (like me).
At original poster, if what I think you mean is you want to use it to call straight away after waking it up - I share your frustration. It does seem to take a while before I can get it to call out after sleeping and I've used HTC, Elite and TLR roms and it's all the same for me.
What network are you on maybe that has something to do with it - I'm T-Mob.
another useless, whiner thread...
what's the question? now we know that u r not satisfied with the diamond. now what? what's the drama? send it back for a refund.
this is not a wall to graffiti slogans and complains.

What you see as useless other see as interesting and usefull.
I am thinking of buying this phone as i'm fed up with waiting for the i900 Omnia and this thread has been usefull. Now, thanks to reading this thread I am warned about slow "wake-up" of the Diamond and now more hesitant, almost to the point of not buying it.
Sadly though, you seem to judge everyone else by your own standards.
Ericsson68 was indeed trying to be helpfull by two things:
1; confirming that he too has a slow "wake-up" e.g its not he op's phone itself
2; Offering a possible explanation "What network are you on maybe that has something to do with it - I'm T-Mob. "
No one is forcing you to read these posts and no one is forcing you to write a pointless reply. It is often said by wise people (and those with friends!), if you have nothing constructive so say, don't say it.
So Erricsson and TrevorM, thanks guys! You've highlighted to me that this phone may have an issue, even with the latest roms applied, in that its slow to wake up. This is EXACTLY the reason i'm here along with many others!

Dude listen the way i see it is that if you havent got anything useful to say or post then refrain from doing so. People are going to complain no matter what you or anyone else says. Like Monty says people have different ideas as to what is good for them and what isnt...fact of the matter is everytime i see you post...your always having a pop at someone who asks a question or slates the phone. Do you actually own HTC??...because sometimes your posts come across as a HTC fanboy...so what if people are saying the phone is useless/rubbish.
I'll say this about the Diamond, i love it but its hard work getting everything to run as you want it to. Personally HTC have alot to answer for, their QC testing is quite frankly crap and rubbish. They were in such a hurry to get this phone out...it seems like their engineers/designers fell asleep for a few months. The stock rom has too many niggles and problems with it, thankfully we have a place like this where we have some excellent guys who are making the Diamond a more enjoyable product due to their new roms. I swear if places like this didnt exist...HTC wouldnt be in business for much longer.
With regards to the OP, as i said before the phone is hard work...sometimes i struggle to do anything with it but i still love it. Perhaps try the TLR rom...its much faster and seems more smoother. AS for the sleeping issue??...it does take a few secs to get it back up and running but i can live with that...its not like it takes forever...well mine doesnt feel like that.

i gave you a hint. you didn't get it. keep on spamming.
Since when is the forum becoming a customer review of phones ?
I see already a thousand threads about the things that the Diamond does not fulfill. If you start reading them it is amazing what people whine about! "My phone does not react instantly after waking up", "My phone does not go to vibrate when I flip ip when it rings", "my phone is not the chickmagnet HTC promised it to be, I stil do not have a girlfriend" ...
So you use the title "poor performance" and then that is your strongest statement to back this up ??? nice one mate!
@Monty
Buy the phone, play with it, use it and then decide! What other people think might not always apply to you. I do not even have much issues with the battery.
If your want your phone to fly you to the bahamas then I suggest you buy yourself a plane.
This is at this moment the best phone you can buy! no doubt about it, I had the iphone for a week and then got this one. Now I only use the iphone for cutting bread on!

Kukuirukuwuay: 1 post is hardly spamming and tbh, if thats the best most informed response you can come up ... you should maybe try the American "whatever", at least that has comedy value.
MisterSosa, it does have reviews of it and so what? Peoples(Owners reviews) and more importantly, there day-to-day comments and experiences are vital. Its these bug reports/issues/compliments/"wow look at this feature" posts that help some people decide and whats wrong with that? Like it or not HTC does not make perfect gear, if it did, there would be no need for this site. The bugs people discuss on here are read by the people who create ROM's and sometimes fixed by them. TBH, I wouldn't be suprised if there are HTC developers on this site everyday. I certainly know that Toshiba devs monitor myg900.com
I do agree with you 100% that people see phones diferently and whilst it works for one, it won't work for another. That said, to be "the best phone you can buy!" would take some doo'ing! My experience with HTC hardware (not software) is that this is unlikely to be the case purely on reliability, 10 months down the road it will probably develope hardware failures just like my previous 3 HTC phones (and that doesn't include the factory replacements). Also, "best" depends entirley on your needs. I'm still tempted to wait for the Omni as it will have a 5mp camera built in to it, something that doesn't seem to of sunk into HTC yet! Not to say I won't buy this, I like the form factor and the screen res (im used to 800x480 so this would only be a small downgrade).
However, I now consign myself to the fact that HTC phones only last at most a year and IF I buy this, it will be with that in mind.
This site in particular and similar sites do indeed help people choose there next phone - assuming they are informed enough to look for sites like this and even the OP's post is usefull. Read into it his frustration: Can you not see that his post is actually a complement? It says to me that the OP thinks its an awesome phone .... except this one really minor but pain in the arse thing, the wake-up delay.
Yes your right, i could buy it and then send it back if I don't like it (assuming the shop are going to allow me, they don't have to) but how many times am I going to do that before I get told to get stuffed by the shop(s)? Also, I may also not discover everything I need to about the phone in the two weeks, usualy accepted by shops here in the uk, that I need to and then i maybe stuffed with a phone I don't want.

Completely and utterly wrong...this is a forum, it may very well be a developer forum but as of yet i havent heard any of the moderators in here say that we cannot give any opinions/views on what we think of the phone.
Crikey!!!
Didn't expect this kind of response.
Maybe it is useful for the DEVELOPERS to know how things are working (good or not)??
I have had any number of phones over the years - WinMo HTC, non HTC, Symbian etc. and this is the first one that I am really struggling with.
It is correct to say that it is hard work to get the equipment operating smoothly. The problem I have with that is, even after applying improved ROMS, performance enhancements, registry tweeks etc. the basic function is simply not working correctly. Why does it take so long for the phone to become ready for use?
Maybe a vanilla ROM will improve things, but then again I am left with a shiny shell which is a good phone (I may as well buy a cheap nokia!!).
I would be interested to know if other Diamond users are experiencing terrible lag, long delays and unresponsiveness..
Cheers
mobile not used for 3 hours, was lying on my desk.
press power button slide from all programs to home tab, press the phone button ... pops up immediately, dial colleague number and its dialing.
Where is the lag/delay in this story ?
ever try to close the running applications since the first time you turned it on ?
Thanks ... what ROM are you using - which enhancements have you applied?
Cheers
@MisterSosa and KukurikU
You might not be experiencing it... some are.
If you haven't got any constructive help to add why not go and join another thread? You're not being forced to read our comments but we are unfairly being forced to read yours in a thread that we want to add our experiences to in a calm and collected way.
Now kindly leave the thread so that we can DEVELOP a solution to what some of us see as a problem.

Sorry to hear that Monty, as you can see by my signature I have owned all manor of HTC phones and i havent had to send most of them back (admittidley the C500 had to have the rocker stick repaired on mine and my girlfriends phone but I dealt with HTC direct as orange didnt want to know and HTC were very helpful and within 5 days I had the phone back)
I don't suffer from the lag that a few people in this thread are mentioning.
Ive got a WWE Touch Diamond with Rom Version 1.37.405.1 WWE, ROM Date: 06/10/08 Radio Version 1.00.25.03 and im on tmobile UK. My TouchFLO 3D version is 1.0.1630.23.
Ive NOT applied ANY tweaks to my phone at all, no registry edits, hacks or Rom updates and my phone works without lag when trying to make a phone call.
How long does your take, in secs, from when you have pressed the power button at the top to wake the phone up to when you press the Phone button (the left phone softkey?)
Where do you experience the problem? Do you find its when you use TouchFLO 3D? Or can you goto ALL PEOPLE from the PEOPLE TAB on TouchFLO 3D and its still laggy?
Sorry to hear your having problems guys but this forum is here to help you.
Thanks .. I see you are using an uncooked rom. Have you applied any of the registry tweeks etc.?

Only time I've see a delay in opening the phone app so far (3 weeks) was when I received a phone call AND a txt msg almost simultaneously...just as I was trying to copy/paste some info from Opera into a reply to a previous txt msg.
DT
I've seen many threads regarding poor (if not non existant) gps signals related to the HTC Touch Diamond.
Pretty much all of them suggest setting issue in windows 6.1, etc. Me thinks you are all looking at the wrong cause.
Here's the answer (trust me on this)!....
We all know that the original slimline battery that comes with the HTC TD is pretty much useless when it comes to life....lucky to get 4hrs on standby?
OK, so then you go and buy the cheep extended battery - you know - the huge slab that comes with an additional back for your phone - coz it's too big for the original.
Gives you great battery life (or should I say - gives you 'normal battery life' in comparison to other phones).
Basically, your GPS antenna is being 'wiped out' by the EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) of the bigger battery - the signal is being scambled completely and you would be lucky to get a fix under 20 minutes with this installed.
For those of you gettin this problem - simply plug in your original battery....
....bet you get a strong lock under a minute!
I've tested this extensively using HTC GPS Tool and the results to me are conclusive.
Would be grateful to hear comments back on this post....
I suggest you try searching the forum... this is very, very common knowledge!
Not just common knowledge, it doesn't solve GPS issues for most people, as most people don't have this battery.

Scooter, don't let them put you off posting - keep adding your tips. As you say, they may help someone.
actually there is a fix for solving the gps problem with a large battery using a small piece of aluminium foil underneath the cover. Its been posted before here and originated on a Russian site and it seemed to work for most users.

Anyway this post helped me. Thank you!
I have no problems with GPS reception, but I was thinking of getting the 2000mAh battery. But I changed my mind...
I have a problem everytime i use samsung based rom.. not miui or cm7...
when the battery fully charges, and i leave it a bit longer in the charger it discharges and sometimes it drops from 100...
What can i do? to 80 and even lower
The answer is simple.
You could use the search function here, and look for your problem. But... you did not, so let me help you:
What you can do?
1. go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134741
2. read the thread there...
There is no real solution there just talking about the bug... what can i do except downgrading?
Upgrading.

Aaaah, now I understood, so instead of adding your problem to 200 other users, you think that your thread will be answered with definite solution because... you are so special, so wonderful and rest of the users is nothing compared to you that you, noble person, will not stick to the plebs' problems?
Relax man drink a glass of water all i wanted was some help from some more experienced than me..
Couldnt find the answer in this topic so i thought maybe someone will help me here...
Upgrading to what? Im 2.3.5
what's negative in downgrading?
if the previous ROM was OK for you.. and in this situation for sure it was!
Hi,
Just wondering which ICS rom you guys have got the best battery life out of?
I've tried AOKP Milestone 6 & CM9 20120727 both.
Must say the AOKP had better battery. Could easily cross 24+ hours

I owe an apology that I have been to rough in my comments here and agree with wesleyel. It IS more important to guide rather than growl.
I might have forgotten my own postings and I might have more experience from several forums, so I should know better. Also, to our most welcome new members: Read, then read more. Search and use the varst source of information before you post. Many times the answer is right infront of you, or asked/posted earlier in the same thread. If you do look else where you will also benefit from picking up more that you can share, even solve some problems too.
I keep going on with this a bit because it makes it easier for all of us to get proper info faster without having to read about topics spilled all over the place.
Also, reflect a second over what you are asking about/for. Is there a possibility in getting a scientific and correct answere? Like battery backup i ty is very hard to reach such a result because of how we use and set our piece. Maybe you would like to ask around benchmarking instead and take part in how to set rules around this instead?
Just a bit if brain food and trying to be construtive around the subject of posting and such. Peace to all!

That post is for best custom ROM.
That can be different for different people. Some want ROM for gaming, others stability, others battery, other overall performance.
I was specifically interested in knowing about battery life as I have noticed that even with the same settings SetCPU, display etc each custom ROM gives a different battery output.
I travel a lot and battery life is very important for me.

I've been araound the internet since 1994, but it's incredible like I realize just few months ago (since I started my "adventure" with the channel) the the internet itself it's the mother of all idiots. The net it's just full of people who believe to hold the only truth. They and they only know what it's right and what it's wrong and are free to judge everyone else as they like. The only truth it's that they hide themselves behind a monitor. That's even the cause why, more and more often, it happens to see kids who feel like the grew up just because the post something rude.
I usually don't even try to answer to such a provocation, you know, I'm not one of those holding the universal truth, then I've already lost before starting!
I'll answer here even for what you wrote into the other thread defyining it "pointless".
Who decide if this (and the other) is a useless thread or not? You?! Just because you don't care about this device it means that no one else cares? Can you read? I wrote in the OP "if you are interested". This is the general section for the Xperia V too, then it's the right place to speak about this device in general. And maybe someone is interested in knowing a little bit more about this device.
Who are you to state that what I do is pointless nor useless? Do you know me? Do you know how much effort and passion I put in what I do? Do you know that I loose my sleeping hours 'cause that it's the only time I own for my passion? (my family and my job come first of course)
Given that, I'm not an hypocrite: of course I'm happy if more people see what I do, I'm happy to know that I've been useful to someone. it's the only "reward" I have, as I don't earn a single damn penny for what I do.
Sorry for this useless answer....
