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.

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?

Diamond crashes when making VOIP calls

Hello all,
First off, I am a noob here, so i expect I may say something stupid. Thank you for your kindness, if you wish to correct me. I'm having an issue with the Diamond - it completely freezes when I attempt VOIP calls. Only solution is to take out the battery. No gray screen, no warning, just frozen. I suspect a HW issue, maybe the WiFi.
Originally I was using Morna ROM 1.7.1 which worked well. VOIP was choppy though - not enough RAM in my opinion - so I tried some lighter ROMs. The problem started while I was changing ROMs, and now it's persistent regardless of ROM. I've tried various versions of Morna, Duttys, Tom's, Energy, Nataly... then back to the original, still the same problem.
The crash doesn't always occur at the same spot. Sometimes it's while placing a call, sometimes while on the call, even while configuring the SIP client. I've used different clients, incl Skype, SJPhone, Fring, PortSIP... I suspect it might be a WiFi issue, because I saw the connection drop/reconnect a few times while in a call, before crashing. That said, browsing through WiFi is no problem.
Did I fry some hardware with the repeated re-flashing? Please help! I'm not sure if there are any debugging tools/methods I can use here to better understand what's happening. I've decided to use this phone only at home for VOIP calls (no mobile), so I need to solve this issue.

Try using AGEphone, best softphone that I have found. It will also put all calls through the main speaker, a major problem with most softphone clients on HTC devices.

Milestone Wi-fi/3G connects but not send data

Hello there,
As a newcomer, I found out these foruns filled up with great information and guys willing to help, so came here to ask for some help ....I am both excited and dissapointed with my brand new Milestone. Bought the handset about 5 days ago, which came with Android 2.0. Then updated it straight away to version 2.1 via "Motorola Software Update". So far so good ...here´s the problem I am facing :
While connected to wi-fi or 3g(issue is easier to notice due to 3G icon at the task bar, which points out in those small arrows data that is being sent/received) phone stops to receive data out of the blue. All connectios are cut off(it also happens when the handset is locked up). Some basic trouble shooting i did:
- tested all pcs connected to the same wi-fi network. No issues detected for these
- reset wi-fi router configs. Didn´t work
- tried other wi-fi router. Presented same issue
- swapped another carrier chip to test 3g connection. Presented the same issue
- tested my GSM chip on ther phone. Worked properly
- Reset phone to default settings. This time the connection took longer to drop, like 30 minutes, instead of the usual 10 minutes. After the first drop, it´s started behaving the same way again.​
It seems pretty much that there an issue going on here (obvious...hehehe). I am considering the following:
- Might be a software issue. So, right now i am downgrading it back to 2.0 version, check if it works properly and then move to 2.1 hopping to get the issue fixed.
- Use retailer warranty and claim for a new phone =/​
Could you guys help me out ??
Thanks in advance and Best Regards !!!

Guys, after downgrading version to 2.0, phone stills presenting the same issue. I think it´s turning into hardware issue =/....does anyone have a clue about it?
Thanks and Best Regards!!!

Main phone or not?

Just a question to all the Kaiser users out there.
Do you use the Kaiser with only Android installed as your main phone?
Those that do, have you had any "bad" experiences while using the phone that are NOT caused by network discrepancies (i.e.: dropped calls, bad signal, etc.)?
I ask because I do use mine as my main form of communication on a daily basis, and I had my first dropped call today due to a hard lock. This is after almost a year of use, on the same phone, in different parts of the country with only a couple of days of non-use for screen replacement (scratched/damaged touchscreen).
I know we're all hanging on to old technology for different reasons, wether it be cost, availability, or that certain "wow" factor that comes from completely changing something that was never meant to be changed. I have become fond of my Kaisers for obvious reasons, but if I cannot trust it when I need it I may need to move on.
Thoughts?

I use it as the main phone . I dont have any problems except the camera and the WiFi . Hope to get it rectified soon though :/

Man, you still didn't manage to get WiFi to work ?

Dude my kernel !!
and because of exams i cant get that repaired !!

IDK if your kernel is the issue or not because the radio rom also has a lot to do with some aspects of the hardware controls (phone, wifi, audio, camera, etc.).
Other than checking your wifi.ko file with root explorer or some other text viewer, the only option is to change your rom. I have had a 99% success rate with my Kaiser using only Scoots kernel with 25mb of cache, the 8/29/11 rom from sourceforge and LauncherPro plus (from my personal stash). I have the kernel setting the clock to 500MHz on start up and I usually end up underclocking to 480 for a week or so to check stability against the previous weeks settings.
My camera works, my wifi works, bluetooth works, tethering/hot spot works, but video doesn't (not like I'll EVER use this thing for videos)...

Hi!
I use it as my main phone. After the imap push deactivation i hadn't got any hard lock.
But i use gmail sync, and sometimes i got a screen of death. But it's very very rare (maybe one in a month). I think if i didn't use anything thats related to 3G network, this lock up wouldn't appear.
This is my work phone so it must be stable. I'm satisfied with it.

Redmi 4x trouble with connection and heat

Hello fellow members. I`ve stumbled upon a trouble with my Redmi 4X. I'd like to ask you if someone had similar problems with his Xiaomi. But first thing first...
I`ve dropped my phone few days ago. Guess what - broken screen :crying:. I did some research and decided to repair it on my own. I ordered orginial replacement kit (LCD + digitizer), watched few videos "how to" and I made it. But.
It seems that now I have some problems with network. Signal strength varies between full and the lowest (on 4G), but it feels like it's always the lowest. The internet is so slow, calling and sending messages is pure luck. Sometimes you can send or call, sometimes it's like out of range. I`ve tried setting "only 3g" setting, but it doesn't help. Factory reset didn't help aswell.
Additionally, the phone is overheating. I think it may be associated with the network problem, since phone can't find himself in range of mobile operator.
I called mobile operator and they didn't do anything, everything seems to be as before.
The phone is updated to the most recent OS (Global). I don`t have any necessary or strange apps, nor root or custom rom.
Before the change of LCD everything was running smoothly.
So, did any of you guys had some similar troubles with his/hers xiaomi? Could I broke something during the replacement? I think not, I was extremely careful, assembled everything as it should be but still..
Hope you guys could figure something out, since I`m really out of my mind what is wrong now.
Thanks!

Hi, the poor reception and overheating symptoms are typical of bad antenna or its connection, which were probably damaged during the impact. Without an antenna, RF transmitter has nowhere to dissipate its energy, hence internal overheating.
Please examine the PCB-antenna pairs of contacts on both sides of the connection. Good luck...
:highfive:

Try switching between preferred network 4G/3G/2G and see if you face the same issue.
you can also try using different network carrier sim into your device and your sim cars in other device and see if this issue persist
if issue persist try reconnecting antenna cable.
