Review: HTC Touch Diamond

Hi
I have the sprint touch diamond and for the last month it doesnt connect through active sync usb. i tried different computers and different cable but it wont connect it does charge the phone therough the usb but no connection. I tried an old touch and it works. I even did a hard reset to factory setting and can not get it to work. I need to sync not only for data backup but i want to install the new rom. please help!

But any ideas on if theres ANY way to improve battery life, extended battery, maybe i have a defective one? it lasted 7 hours with 8 texts and about 4 minutes of net surfing and i close everything out, have emails turned off and have weather updates turned to manual


Anything that can be done?

Is there a review for the Verizon version of this CDMA phone or would they be the same?

Thanks to a user in PPCgeeks.com that created an .exe file to manually rotate the screen in any app. You just have to copy and paste the file in your "Start Menu" folder. Go into Settings>Menus and check box Rotate Screen (you will probably have to uncheck another box as you can only have so many options in the start menu). When you click on the Start Button on the top left corner you will have an option to rotate screen. Woila, text (or anything you like) in landscape mode. Enjoy. 😎

If I use this phone to tether my laptop can I receive calls at the same time like on the Fuze?

2 of us here at work cannot figure it out. one of our demo phones has the background with the TF3D still on the homescreen. that means a customer figured it out before us.

any helps pls!!!

I'm having soooo much problems with this phone..i wish i wasn't past my 30 day trial or i'd return it!! one of my biggest problems is that the time changes. I live if arizona. our time never ever changes. YES, i have it set to arizona time. every time i have to reset (which is all the time) or whenever it powers up, i have to remember to go in and reset the time. PLEASE, does anyone have a solution (other then buying a watch and an alarm clock) to help me with this problem???

WM 6.1? Again im sure it's on here somewhere but no time to look around the site, so some quick links would be great.

I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to buy a replacement back cover. I have been having bluetooth problems (subject for another thread) and today while walking my dog and taking a work call simultaneously, my bluetooth connection failed yet again, the phone flew out of my hand and hit the sidewalk, scratching the back cover pretty badly. I haven't had the phone long and would like to replace it. Anyone? Thanks!

I am having bluetooth problems. I have tried 2 bluetooth devices of different brands. What seems to be happening is that bluetooth mode gets turned off spontaneously. Usually when I experience problems if I check this, its off. i read that it is programmed to go off when it is not actively connected to a device, but that it is supposed to automatically come back on when a device its connected with comes on or into range. I think this is what is failing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could I have a lemmon on my hands here, need to exchange my phone? I have only had it a couple of weeks. I use bluetooth a ton so if this cannot be resolved i'll return it for sure. Help! Thanks!

I'm thinking of getting a HTC Diamond and flash it to metro but I want to make sure before I buy it that it will work on Metro.

If it does, does anyone know how to get the internet and MMS working?

Thanks!

This phone has a fantastic voice command. Of course it has voice dialing of a contact or numerals.

But you can also say things like, "What is my battery life?" and it will say what percentage of battery you have left.

Or, "When is my next appointment?" it will read you calendar and say what time you next appointment is and what it is.

And, "Play (Artist in your Music or title of track)" and it will play that song or artist.

Im talking about the original touch. No 3D Crap, just simple and faster digital clock theme. If its possible to revert it back to the original touch, I would really apreciate it. I miss the contact cube so bad. So much easier and faster.

I'm even thinking of updating my pro with the 6.1 ROM update for original touch. Would this work?

Thanks for any info.

Is this phone capable of 3-way calling. and if so, how does it work because i am unable to do it on my phone. thanks os much!!

How hard is it to correct the specs on the Diamond?... The Diamond (Sprints version) does MMS. I sent you info through your "Find a mistake or omission? Submit a Correction" link.

I have seen on the unlocked market US versions of the Touch Diamond (GSM 850/1900 umts) has anyone tried this? I know the FUZE is out, but not due for an upgrade, and prefer a clean OS without carrier bloat. I also want something thinner then the TP/FUZE.

Has anyone used it?

Hey phonescoop, you guys need to update your specs on the Sprint Diamond, it does do MMS.

I wondered if anyone knows if there is any difference between the HTC Diamnd and the HTC Pro except for the keyboard.

I also wondered will Sprint get both phones at the same time>

Does neither of the phones take an SD card of any type?

Does the HTC diamond let you assign ringtones to different callers?

Im just full of questions while I am in need of a new phone I am trying to wait for the Keyboard Pro.

Thanks in advance for any info anyone has

the review says 2.5 days battery with all that use. How did you manage that. I only get about 1/2 day battery with almost no use!? Did you configure something, or was this after letting the battery be used some time for several charges as some people say to let happen? Should I ask for a new battery ? I replaced my first one and this second one still only gets about 18 hours of life with little to no usage...

How and where do I store my MP3's on the Diamond so I can play them from the "Music" tab?

Thank you!
