Dear PDA experts, please help me!!
since a couple of days I am having a VERY annoying problem with my HTC Diamond. This occurs when I am using the original hands-free. It looks like the cable is losing contact or making an incorrect contact...
So, when using the hands-free, the phone starts dialing the last dialed number by itself. When I am listening to music, the music stops and I am hearing how the phone is dialing. This usually happens, when I make the move to put my phone in my pocket. Also, when I speak with someone, the phone automatically puts him on hold, which is even more annoying for the other party! The problem persists even when I switch off the phone module, it still tries dialing!
I had tried many times to get rid of the voice dialer (sddialer.exe), but I cannot delete or rename the file even when I connect the Diamond to a PC. Finally I have disabled it from the registry and it still starts dialing when I make the move to stick it into my pocket!
And I dont have the impression, that the cable is somehow defective, as when I am listening to music, it does not break up. And it always does, when there is a problem with the cable, unfortunately I have a lot of experience with defective hand-frees. Please please help me!! It is not worthy to buy a new handsfree for such an old phone... Is there a way to disable all the buttons of the hands-free, it is the last possible solution I can think of...?
Use the lock screens
My Diamond did that too.
There are several lock screen capabilities that you can enable under settings. More important if you added a custom Rom they usually have a few different options.
With the custom Rom I was running, I could make a call and after pushing the power button, it would lock the phone when on the line with someone. This would happen if you hit any button after the power button was pressed (which usually turns off the screen).
Hope that helps.

Well I've had my Tilt for a week now and I have been frustrated completely with the Phone App.
First of all, when I am calling a tone prompted location where you have to press the keys to get somewhere (611, corporate voicemail, etc), some of the time the phone will go into "hold" when i press the keys.
Secondly, after a call that i have pressed the keys for tone operation, the phone app will not completely close. the screen will stay half dim and the start bar and task panes are locked out. i can't access any of the icons at the top of the screen. the only button available is the task manager which shows no programs running.
i can pretty much replicate the 2nd problem consistently. does anyone else have this problem? Please try to call into a company say even 611, go through all the tone prompts and see if the phone app closes appropriately afterwards. make sure you are on the phone long enough for the screen to automatically dim.
the only way for me to get past this is to softboot so i can get access to the start menu again. but i'd rather not have to softboot after every phone call =T
Thanks!
Same problem here, any help would be great.

disable the lock thing where you have to enter a pin - i think its a bug in the rom
Same problem - but if press the on/off button for the screen twice I do have again access to all icons. Not nice but ....
yeah i was messing around with the phone last night and realized that it has to do with phone lock and figured out if you press the power button to put it to sleep and press it again to wake it up, everything is normal again. it was just a fluke how i found out but i'm glad to know that this isn't only my problem. i was about to do another hard reset on the phone.
i called ATT techsupport and they told me it might be the simcard. can other Tilt owners chime in here. is this a ROM problem or could it be related to a faulty sim?

Hi
I don't know if anyone has experienced this or has a fix for it.
I picked up my Tytn II last week and I must say it's a cracking piece of kit. I seem to be experiencing a problem though.
If I say for example make a voice call and then hang up. I find that the word "phone" replaces the start menu in the top left hand corner of the screen. This wont default back to start and effectively makes the whole top row of icons inoperable. Ie battery status volume control etc. I have found this problem when using other apps, ie calendar, so it's not specific to just making voice calls.
The only way to get the top row of icons working again is to do a soft reset
All icons not on the top row seem to work ok (apart from keylock)
Any ideas ??

Dont soft reset... just hit the power button to go into standby, then hit it again and the device will work again.
Hey presto it worked. Thanks for that. It's a bit annoying having to do that though.
Massiv
Its not a fix... its just a workaround.
When you end calls. Try first pressing the end call button, then the ok button.
I've got this issue and its driving my users nuts.
When your in a call, you cannot press the start key, or tap the start menu with the pen, you can minimise the call screen if you turn the device off and on in call, but you cant access the start menu. Also, once you've ended the call, you have to turn the device on and off a couple of times before you can use the start menu.
All devices are using the vanilla HTC ROM.
Any ideas how to fix it?

it doesn't help you, i suppose - but for reference this works fine on the TyTn II with vodafone UK ROM
I have a couple of anoying problems with the diamond. Its my first smart phone and there are som things I think the SonyEricsson handle better
First, whats up with the deal that Phone mode dissapears when you talk? When I´m calling some kind of support and need to press numbers thru the menu the phone locks after just about 5 secs and I have to go in to phone and keypad again, very anoying. Is their a way to keep in i phone mode to easy access to the keypad and ex speaker mode?
Second, the phone doesnt vibrate when it rings. When I choose vibrate-mode in the quick list it goes quite and vibrating, great for meetings. But I still want the phone to vibrate if I´m in a club or something
Third, Is there any way to shut down the function of the keypad appears automatically? When I go in the phone and wants to call I may have the number in the quick list but then I have to get the keypad away to see it. Isnt there a way to get it to appear only when I actually press the keypad button?
That was the first three questions, I suspects there will be plenty more after a while But I would appreciate any help I can get

those are not problems. those are you not reading diamond's manual or searching the forum. anyway:

this is a feature not a bug and it is for you not to start any app with yr ear.
it can be override in many ways. one of them is using advance configuration 3.2. search! search!

try settings/phone/ring type/ vibrate and ring or vibrate the ring.

also can be changed. in phone mode go to menu/view/speed dial. this way when you call you'll get behind the phone pad yr speed dial. just push the little phone icon in the middle, lower screen and you'll have the speed dial only.

i hope that next questions you are going to ask are going to be after you'll read the manual and a few threads here or you'll get ignored or worse...seriously flamed.

I was told to put Phone sleep during call and fast sleep during call to Disable and Not Allowed in AC but the problems still remains.

I want to change the way the keypad acts. So its never appears automatically when the phone thinks I´m gonna use it, when I´m gonna write a SMS for example
hello, i have got a problem with my kaiser, it is tuning off (entering in standby) in 10 s no matter the config than i make
thanks a lot
Oddly enough, I'm having exactly the same problem.
No matter what is running, even apps that are supposed to keep the device from entering sleep (like TomTom, etc.), it always enters sleep after about 10 seconds. What's weird too, is that if I press any physical button on the phone, it resumes from "Sleep" instead of having to push only the power button like you would normally do.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, I have a "AT&T Tilt" Kaiser, and am running a 6.5 rom w/ the eMobile radio.
Hello bro
i found a semi-solution hehehe
starting de audio manager and let it play a part of a music, after that it dont solve all problem but reduce it, some times the kaiser turn off after 2 min as the setting, some times it turn off in 10s
the most strange thing is than the pda never have this problem until today in morning
my rom is a pda-corner wm6,1
thanks
Don't know if it the same problem...
Hi guys got a kaiser bout a month ago and i love the phone haven't done any modifications to it all stock at&t stuff. Having a pretty unpleasant problem... when i go to turn on the phone the at&t logo pops up and then after a couple of seconds turns off, the battery is charged! I seem to be able to turn it on if i open the sim card door and leave it open till the WM6.1 logo appears, but then when i turn it off to put in sim card it turns off in seconds and does not come on. Now when it does happen to stay on for me after its been asleep for a while the touch screen stops working...
all stock kaiser
have done may hard and soft resets nothing seems to be working
don't have sync software
willing to do anything
HELP!!!
maybe you can put a modificated rom, my sotck phone come with wi-fi, internet and e-mail blocked. i put a modificated rom and it unlock all features. its just a try, but dont forget to read all the wiki about the replacement of the rom or you can brick you phone
good luck
i'm also looking for how to change this as tomtom on the move in the car is useless when the phone locks
