Can anybody tell me if there are any hardware buttons on the sides of the Diamond? i'm guessing there is a button to operate the camera (correct me if i'm wrong) but is there a push and hold button for the voice recorder like maost previous HTC devices?
Cheers
Paul
The only hardware buttons on the Diamond are the volume up and down keys at the side of the phone. But there is no push and hold button for the voice recorder as far as i know or could see from various websites that have pics of the phone.
i couldn't see any either, just wondering of somebody who has the sexy, cute, fast, err... phone may be able to tell me!

I doubt it, seeing as the guy over at www.coolmartphone.com has had one for over a week and he doesnt mention anything about other buttons on the side of the phone other than the volume up and down keys.
no there are no hard buttons, just the volume controls and the power button...
Aww crap, there goes any chance of me getting my employer to buy me one! we have a gps based app which requires a push-and-hold button to activate it.
ah well......
The latest video shows Voice Commander being allocated to the push & hold on Button 1 which is the phone hardware (green) button. So, yes is the short answer.

I just ordered one from expansys, so i guess i'll find out tomorrow morning! Thanks for your input fellas!
Feel free to add this to the FAQ, I'm only making a thread of this because I know alot of people have found themselves unable to enter the bootloader using the Down Vol + Power Button combo that is normally supposed to work.
For some odd reason, it seems as if the volume button in some cases is swapped in hardware functions as it relates to the use of the phone when no software is present to run it.
Hence, if your down volume button doesn't work, try using the camera button + power button to enter bootloader mode instead.
Even if you've just Task 29'ed your device only to find that you can't enter bootloader mode normally, that method should work.

I'll be darned, it does work! Thanks Poet' !!!
Otherwise, I had bad volume button issues (stopped working, ROM independent), that I solved by shoving the mini-usb power plug into the mini-usb slot really really hard for 20 seconds or so and wiggling it a bit while pressing against on the volume key on the other side.
I know it sounds strange, but it really worked. My keyboard issues also stopped after that. Theories?
WOW! My volume button is broken, and couldn't flash ROMs from microSD (didnt bother me tooo much), but it works again This is a god send! Thanks!

Thanks for the tip, but its physically phucked! Slight crack near the volume button, but only the volume button doesent work, sometimes it does work if pressure is applied to the case near the crack, but rarely Not too bad though, i can live with it, after all, we can change volume with the 6.5.X top bar as its not fidly, or even in 6.5 by disabling HTC notifications (which i hate anyway)
I did try ramming the mini usb power plug into it, different pressure while pushing it, moving it while it was inside etc, no such luck and i am a brute with this phone. I love how it can take a drop/punch/scratch. Built solid
a silly volume button doesent really decrease my fuctionality, or doesent do much to stop me changing volume! lol cant complain.

Glad to hear it!
It seems like I have to redo the fix technique about every 1-2 days, but it seems to always solve the problem. Very odd!
so damn cool
must be sticky!

agreed, will be considered in the planned reorg...when I find the time
Dudes with volume key unresponsive problems:
See my post in the general forum about how to solve the volume key problem. At least for me, turns out that very slight *downward* pressure on the USB port solved the problem. Crazy, I know.

Hi guys,
is there any possible i ask (maybe) the same problem?
maybe i had the same problem here. it wont enter to the bootloader. my phone just won't turn on, i already try to use the power button and volume button (not working), try to use power button + Cam button (won't work either). btw when i charge my X1, the illuminations light didn't show up, when i try to charge w/o the battery only red light on the power button, but once i put the battery again the lights turn off. is there any possible that my phone totally dead? thanks guys, appreciate for your help.

Try holding one of the volume buttons while pressing power. A friend of mine had the same problem and we found this workaround accidentally.
No idea why it worked.

Hi, I wanted to ask if in your p9 the volume button wobbles
Yes, compared to the power button the volume button is a little loose but I don't think it's defective...

Thanks, I thought it was a problem only of my device :good:
The volume when you press the keys lowers normal or suddenly? I noticed this flaw, sometimes lowers and raises normally at other times just press and it also lowers too.
no one else noticed this bug?
Mine wobbles too, but power is more ridged.

So it is a problem of all!
And sometimes when you press the volume buttons it rises and falls abruptly?
I've tested five different devices in five different stores and all of them had nearly the same loose volume button. So I think it's a general "problem". This is not a good build quality for this price.
Abrupt volume rising generally appears when the phone was set to mute or vibration by the quick settings shortcut. As soon as you hit the volume button the volume jumps back to the level it was before the phone was muted.
My volume button doesn't wobble.
And it happens this problem? Of course I do not keep the buttons pressed. https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=neGc3-aMjss

Well, this looks definitely like a bug! That's not normal and has nothing to do with the feature I mentioned before.
Did someone with the loose volume key try to replace his phone on warranty?
Is this really a defect or do we have to live with it?

No, I haven't noticed this behavior, yet. The only problem I'm facing is the loose volume button. Functionality is absolutely normal.

Did you try replacing your phone because of the volume key?
Do you have the silver or the grey version? Maybe it's related to this...

I have not asked for a replacement. I have the gray version, why?
The problem creates youtube, if you end app and delete data of the app the volume returns to work properly ...
Is normal
Mine is P9 gold and has also loose volume key . It is a normal behavior
I also have the loose volume button. (mine is EVA-L19)
I asked the store about the issue and they showed me a couple of devices. All of them have had the same button. Don't worry about it. My previous Honor 7 had the same issue.
