[PRJ][AUS]Telstra HTC Diamond

[wwcheung]

For those people in Australia using Telstra and wanted the 3.5G radio support, I finally got my hands on one that support the Telstra NextG HTC Diamond.

Base Rom: 1.38.841.5 WWE
Radio Rom: 1.00.25.06 (not the same version from previous post as this one is NextG specific)

I am sure most of the people would like to try this rom... if someone can show me the way the extract these roms I will be more than happy to post it for testing.

[frozenwaffles]

yeah this would be awesome to see if it will make the 850Mhz 3G radio work on any Diamond...!

[wwcheung]

I am noob in extracting roms... any ideas how to do it?

[jomo25]

This would be good to try, but since it has the same version number as the one posted in the Radios thread, I wonder if/how it is different?

[wwcheung]

I will mark it as AUS version.
But before anything happen, I do need to know how to extract this out and make it work for everyone. Any ideas?

[daraj]

Dude you will make everyone happy if we can activate 850 3G.

[wwcheung]

I know... that's why I post this up...

My whole point is I have no idea what I needed to do to get the radio rom out.

If anyone can point me the right direction, I will post the rom out as soon as I can.

someone please help this man help us!

[daraj]

why dont you PM tom im sure he will be more than happy to help you extract the ROM/RADIO

[walshieau]

I will mark it as AUS version.

PM me on MSN and ill help you

Sweet - Saw a Telstra flyer for it. Does it have an extra tab in TF3D called "My places"? If so, is it in place of the Programs tab, or is it seperate?

[Huey85]

How's the performance of TF3D and the device in general on the Telstra device mate?

[walshieau]

How's the performance of TF3D and the device in general on the Telstra device mate?

i will release the telstra ROM sometime tonight / tomorrow, just needs patching to remove the Region ID, working with cmonex now.

[2395]

Thanks Guys, is it possable to also get the rom, rom and radio split as original without region tampering....can be kept as a backup for those in Aus that may want to revert back after cooking.
Is the bootloader available as well.
Again many thanks, you guys and your experties is allways appreciated.

wait and we will see, we only got our hands on it today to take a seat and wait.

[2395]

Thank You walshieau....please accept my appology if my post was out of order re request [I did not mean to infer speed].....I fully appreciate that your work is charity and that in no way would I expect anything or request anything other than your generious free time in assisting us.

I fully appreciate and thank you for your work and your genorosty of your time as I am sure all others that read your advice or use your programming skills.

Again many thanks.

[frozenwaffles]

so humor me this..
i have the 1.93.831.1 installed with hard spl.
also running radio 1.00.25.06...
i get a H symbol for most of my coverage and i have a NextG sim card installed...does this mean i am seeing 850Mhz 3G network or not really?
looking forward to actually trying the telstra rom...

Go to Setting / Phone, under the Band Tab, choose WCDMA and UTMS (850)+GSM(900+1800)

If you still can get signal and get a H then you are winning.

[2395]

under the HongKong Rom
In Australia with telstra Nextg service

greyed box h and 3testra in tflo home provider spot setting are both auto

under phone settings only UMTS(900+12000 + GSM (900+1800) avail

set to the WCDMA and UMTS 900 from auto..
have a greyed box h and 3testra in tflo home provider spot

switched back to auto got 3g in grey box then after 20 seconds now have E in box have only testra under service in tflo home

Now under auto and even running connections setup I cant get back to my original greyed box h and 3testra in tflo home provider spot and have E in box and Telstra as provider under auto.[Have even set 3telstra as preffered over telstra in network band settings

edit:
set provider to manual ...chose 3telstra over telstra...then conection setup for setting etc ....ok [have H] then went back and chose auto now still have H and 3telstra with all options now on auto

should H be in grey box or just H

[jefalijas]

I also have the HK ROM with a Telstra NextGen USIM, and here is what I think is happening.

Telstra has 3 networks:

* Telstra NextGen 3G UMTS - 850MHz - Mobile network Code 505-01

* Telstra GSM - 900/1800 MHz (EDGE/GPRS) - Mobile Network Code 505-01

* Telstra 3G UMTS - 2100MHz (JV network with 'Three') Mobile Network Code 505-06 (code is shared with Hutchinson '3')

The best way to tell exactly what Telstra network you are on is by looking at the Network name in the 3DTF Home Screen

Telstra (with an E or G icon) is the 900/1800MHz GSM network
Telstra (with 3G or H icon) is the NextG 850MHz network
3Telstra (with 3G or H icon) is the '3' joint venture 2100MHz network

I am eagerly awaiting the new Telstra ROM or at least the radio ROM. So my question is, has anyone got (a non-Telstra Touch Diamond) working on 850MHz yet ? Does the new radio ROM give access to Telstra 850MHz ?

We have to wait until the chefs extract the ROM/RADIO and then see waht will happen.

[frozenwaffles]

yes i think unfortuently this is just the case...damn!
come on cooks, bring us the telstra rom....i am still having my doubts though... this could be just like the touch dual...two different hardware versions...except weith the diamond, they will have the exact same outsides!

Dont even mention it " two different hardware" let me live the lie for a while :D

[frozenwaffles]

So guys...how we doing with extracting this telstra rom?!?!?!?

[peejay1981]

Can someone post it as soon as it's available? I unknowingly had to change to Telstra last week for work, GSM reception is wearing a little thin!

[walshieau]

the radio for the telstra ROM is already public, it enabled the 850Mhz 2G band but NOT THE 3G band, i will upload the ROM tomorrow hopefully for you all.

[fadge]

hi, like a few of us here with the Telstra, no 3g is a real pain in the @#$$. I did buy a diamond knowing that Telstra would also release them one day.
Was hoping they would be the same phone... I am on my last month of current contract and could grab a "Telstra Diamond" if needed as well, (then sell my current one?) wish we could get this band/hardware issue sorted before I sign up (payments) even though I'm on a great plan.
Miss the video call and data speed, even considered going back to my trusty kaiser or hermes, but just put it up on ebay.

just my 2 cents

fadge

[daraj]

IF the Radio is already out and it doesn not open 3G 850 then im assuming its an issue related to the ROM used? correct me if im wrong..

[walshieau]

no its an issue related to HARDWARE! the 850Mhz 3G Diamonds are DIAM110

[frozenwaffles]

is this 100%?!?!?

[walshieau]

is this 100%?!?!?

if you cant read, then walk into the Telstra shop, pull the battery out of the display one and see for yourself. :rolleyes:

Never got an answer to this. Walshieau could you enlighten me PLS :p

If it is indeed a seperate Tab I like the idea of somehow recreating it and placing my own Hutch3 shortcuts on it. My3, Planet3 and so on.

[2395]

Thanks Washieau....based upon your reply that is going to make many Ausie's with the imported Diamond unhappy....the Testra one will be better.

[saveferris]

Yep, i can confirm what walshieau said, i called HTC support and they said that hardware is different in regards to 3g in Australia. oh dear. :(

[logger]

Thanks Washieau....based upon your reply that is going to make many Ausie's with the imported Diamond unhappy....the Testra one will be better.
Only if they use the Tesltra Network.

[2395]

Please..
Based upon details bellow can someone please explain what bands are available in Aus. from all providers and the advantages of that band [a referance for me and others as well...]
Thanks

* Telstra NextGen 3G UMTS - 850MHz - Mobile network Code 505-01

* Telstra GSM - 900/1800 MHz (EDGE/GPRS) - Mobile Network Code 505-01

* Telstra 3G UMTS - 2100MHz (JV network with 'Three') Mobile Network Code 505-06 (code is shared with Hutchinson '3')


Telstra (with an E or G icon) is the 900/1800MHz GSM network
Telstra (with 3G or H icon) is the NextG 850MHz network
3Telstra (with 3G or H icon) is the '3' joint venture 2100MHz network

[frozenwaffles]

well this is all a bit dissapointing... oh well... i can live without super fast 3g till the touch pro comes out on the 850Mhz with telstra.

[markymoo]

i have a UK edition TD, ive flashed rom 1.93 for the faster TF3D.

if i leave my band settings in auto mode, and limit my network to "Telstra" (uncheck 3Telstra) i can connect and get a H icon.

judging by 2395's details this is on the NextG network...

is anyone able to help me confirming this? is there a way i can confirm to you guys that this is on the 850MHz NextG network?

no and no. you will not be connected to the NextG network, in the bands setting, which selection are you using?

[markymoo]

my bands setting is auto... there is a range of options including some with 850MHz, but no way to limit it to only 850MHz

any way i can detect my network code? or what band i am using?

[walshieau]

the GSM / UTMS Band MUST be on UMTS(850+1900)+GSM(850+1900) for the Telstra NextG to function correctly.

[markymoo]

so contrary to the supposition in this forum that NextG requires "new" hardware, there are devices out there able to use NextG without being AUS release?

ps. thanks for the info btw

[walshieau]

no, for f**k sake, that is to FORCE the diamond to use those bands, but its not 100% correct. the only way to check, is to load the 1.00.25.06 radio, type in *#*#364#*#* and check the BAND that you are on, and even then it WILL ONLY SHOW YOU THE GSM BAND!

[markymoo]

thanks for answering my question, that i originally asked, "how do i confirm what band i am on" ...

in summary, there is no way to confirm that i am actually connected to / using NextG...

[fadge]

no its an issue related to HARDWARE! the 850Mhz 3G Diamonds are DIAM110

look out ebay, looks like our "old" diamonds are going to hit the markets soon in Aus, I will need to get a new model now this is confirmed...damm.

[peejay1981]

type in *#*#364#*#* and check the BAND that you are on, and even then it WILL ONLY SHOW YOU THE GSM BAND!

That will also show you the network number as well, so If you've locked UMTS to 850 and you get the Telstra network number (not the 3Telstra one) while connected in 3g you've on NextG.

[dickenz]

Any chance that we will have a cooked Telstra ROM :eek:?

Cheers,
Byron.

[frozenwaffles]

yeah look, everyone needs to get over it. if you dont have a diamond from telstra ie: a DIAM110 i think it is and not a DIAM100...then you got no chance of getting 3g 850mhz...

[dickenz]

Think you mis-interpreted what I was trying to say dude. I already have a Telstra Diamond and am wanting to improve the performance, battery life and functionality of the phone with a cooked rom.

I'm saying is there any chance that we can get a cooked ROM - still on the 850MHz NextG network (with tweaks, improvements etc found in say for instance: duttythroy's rom) but on our Telstra branded Diamonds??? So a ROM cooked specifically for our DIAM110s that works on the NextG network.

Basically not wanting to miss out on making the most of the phone just because we have slightly different hardware compared to those with DIAM100s.

Cheers,
Byron.

[MichaelMan]

From my understanding of the Cooked Roms. Most of them dont upgrade or change the Radio Settings in anyway, Only teh OS and applications and what not.

So If this is correct you could add the Elite 2.0 or 3.0 without loosing your "nextG" bands

[jaywmy]

If it helps, mine is DIAM130. I got it from Telstra Broadway in Sydney.

Thanks Jaywmy,

it will be the stock ROM with a new XIP, thats all that will be released, as the existing XIP has issues.

[walshieau]

an update, the AUS 850 3G Diamonds are in fact DIAM130 and not DIAM110.

Thanks William

[jomo25]

an update, the AUS 850 3G Diamonds are in fact DIAM130 and not DIAM110.

Thanks William

So, let me ask...

If you have a Telstra DIAM130 Diamond with the stock (presumably .06) Radio ROM, what GSM and 3G bands do you get?

Obviously, its capable of 850 3G. But does it still have the ability to do 2100 3G? Does it still have quad-band GSM capability with the stock ROM? If so, is it possible to buy one without a contract? I'd buy one for use here on AT&T in the US if that's the case.

If NOT, then can it still be flashed with the other radios here to get the other bands if not with the stock?

Thanks!

[2395]

May be silly questions but.....

Which is better..[usingDiam 100].....
Telstra with an H or an E ....answer please.....
and then against
3Telstra with H...answer please.......

Does the bootloader pick up the model type ie Diam100 or 130 etc [load screen with three colors] or is it a bootloader differance....can we bootloader copy from 130 to 100 and would there be an advantage [or is this just way of based upon my meager knowledge]

again many thanks.

I respect you for your ability, for which I am very appreciative as also I am sure are other readers......

But...

Firstly, your rudeness and vulgarity was aimed at another poster re their inability to tell if a phone was not a Diam100 and is a Diam110 only for you to be incorrect and that it should have been a Diam130...for this you did not apologise

secondly

I did not ask the question to which you have rudely and without justification replied to in a foul manner.

Please read the question again….

I did not refer in any way to the Telstra Nextg network and respectfully asked about the available display icons that present on my Diamond Daim100 and the advantages of one display icon [network] over another.

I also respectfully asked if the bootloader detected Diam100 model against 130 phone etc or if this was part of the loader and also re the interchange ability of the Bootloader or spl- [if incorrect terminology please accept my apology] and the advantage of such if there were to be any advantage on the different models.

Have a nice day

[RandomDude]

I just picked up my Telstra 850MHz DIAM130 for $780 from JB Hifi.

Can anyone confirm that the current HardSPLs are compatible with DIAM130?

Hoping you can confirm this for me walshie because even though the HardSPL says *All* Diamond ROMs, the DIAM130 has only been out a few days...

[frozenwaffles]

outright or on a plan?

[RandomDude]

Outright, Unlocked, Telstra Diamond, JB Hi Fi.

I still need to double check that the HardSPL is compatible with the DIAM130

I think what Walshieau was trying to say is that the HW included in DIAM130 is incompatible with the current SW unless someone develops a new HardSPL that will work with it. It looks to me that Telstra made sure that people won't be able to port mobile phones to other carriers. At least as far as 3G is concerned. I'm sure GSM should work regardless, which HW is used, DIAM100 or DIAM130.

[Windza]

And to CONNECT TO TELSTRA NEXTG at the moment you need a DIAM130!

"At the moment"? - carelessly worded statement or suggestion that the DIAM100 may be capable of connecting to NextG eventually? This certainly isn't helping the confusion !

[daraj]

"At the moment"? - carelessly worded statement or suggestion that the DIAM100 may be capable of connecting to NextG eventually? This certainly isn't helping the confusion !

Exactly. Are they different or similar hardware?? that's the question:p

[Windza]

Exactly. Are they different or similar hardware?? that's the question

Well I think it's been established that the hardware is definitely different but before I sell/return my DIAM100 I would really like to confirm absolutely that it will never connect to NextG... some ppl here may feel that they've done this - but as per my previous post, clarity is easily lost with a few short words.

So I ask kindly for some confirmation - is the hardware installed in the DIAM100 definitely not ever capable of connecting to Telstra's NextG network ?

[frozenwaffles]

ring htc and ask...

[frozenwaffles]

either way gents (and ladies if there are any) where is the telstra rom?!?!? i saw posts a week ago saying 'tomorrow'...

[RandomDude]

Well, thanks to walshieau's confirmation I flashed my DIAM130 with HardSPL 1.34 and it works fine...

Although I've just noticed that there is LCD 'cloudyness' and miscolouration right where my on screen keyboard enable button is... damn i'm pissed. You can make it out on a full white screen. Yellowish colour.

Seems I'll need to downgrade it and flash the old SPL back and return it under warranty.

So I need that Telstra ROM too :P

[MrCalico]

yeah this would be awesome to see if it will make the 850Mhz 3G radio work on any Diamond...!

Oh Mann, this would be awesome if this cat is finally out of the bag! Can't wait to know if this is 'The Radio' for US AT&T 3G and 3.5G... It is the only thing I miss about my old Kaiser.

[wwcheung]

Even I am waiting for the Telstra Rom myself .... walshieau, do you have an update? I need to flash it back to the original rom!

[walshieau]

then try HardSPL 1.93 that fixes the screen issues.

[RandomDude]

UPDATE 2: 1.93 Hard-SPL
(placeholder for now, but you can already download unsigned version in the Developer HardSPL thread!)
if someone's diamond came with 1.93 SPL originally, maybe this HardSPL based on 1.93 will work better than the olders. I have a report that someone has black screen with older SPL's.
but even if your diamond didn't come with 1.93 stock, but 1.37/1.38 doesn't fix screen problems (fuzzy screen, flickering, etc.), it is recommended to try this 1.93 HardSPL.
if your diamond works fine with original HardSPL, no need to flash this one.


Yeah I don't think it matches this problem. I'm pretty sure it will be a manufacturing defect, possibly pressure on the bottom of the screen.

It is visible on the alignment screen.

Hi Mate
I have very similar spots on mine on the left side close to the bottom.
But mine is just a loan demo unit from Fonezone, so I am not too worried.

[Vector-SS]

I'm also facing the same damn problem with the screen. Mine, out of the box, was like that. And from what I can see they all appear to be in the same places. Definitely not a ROM problem.

Only 30 mins of calls and no wifi, bluetooth, data etc. I have a funny thing something might be wrong. I will try this latest ROM and see if this makes a difference, otherwise I'll send it of to HTC

Tez, give it a few days for the battery to charge/discharge etc. There are others reporting that the battery has improved over time.

I'm in the same boat but ive only had the phone for 24hrs so it's too early to call. Besides its only on its first charge and I havn't made any calls.

HTC Touch Diamond ROM code (For Telstra Network customers) - version 1.31.710.13 is now available at HTC AU (http://www.asia.htc.com/HTC_AU/members/others.aspx) :D Package is 99mb which is a lot bigger than other ones around here!

Anyone in USA or Canada to test the Telstra rom and see if it work with 3G? HOPE SO!!!

[RandomDude]

I think it's been established that UMTS 850MHz support is NOT provided by any ROM or Radio update - it is hardware dependant.

[daraj]

We need someone to post a link for the ROM so we can test it here on US.

[ac_jai]

So just to clarify,
I do have one of the new Telstra Branded Diamonds that work on the 850mhz band.

I have a question though, Will I be able to configure it to work on other networks other then Telstra and still retain the fast 3G internet usage?

Or is this unit ONLY for Telstra network?

If its sim locked to Telstra then u can only use it on Telstra. In other words if you bought it from telstra then yes only on telstra. Now you can always SIM unlock the phone inorder to use it on other netrworks.

[ac_jai]

ahhh im aware of that daraj,

but my unit is unlocked. infact i dont even have a telstra sim card, and I am using a Virgin sim in there at the moment, and cant seem to get the internet to work even when i copy exactly the same settings from my samsung i780 wm6 device.

So I was wondering whether the Telstra Branded Diamond will only work on Telstra's networks or is it possible to configure it to other 3G networks?

[SecureGSM]

To my best knowledge, 850Mhz 3G is exclusively available from Telstra in Australia.
Therefore, unless there are "fallback" 3g bands (2100Mhz) are also made available, there is no chance for Telstra Diamond phone to be compatible with 3G networks other than NextG.

Please confirm with Telstra Diamond owners that the phone is 3G 2100Mhz aware. I hope it hlps.

[RandomDude]

Please check your phone settings (Settings -> Phone -> Band) and ensure that UMTS 2100 is one of your options.

Then you should pick up Vodaphone's 3G networks.

[walshieau]

Ok, this is my final post in this pointless thread as it seems people CANNOT read.

There are 3 3G Network Frequencies in AUS

850 MHz (NextG) - DIAM130
900 MHz Optus - DIAM100, DIAM110, DIAM200, DIAM300
2100 MHz Optus, Vodafone, Three, Telstra(use Three's) - DIAM100, DIAM110, DIAM200, DIAM300, DIAM130

ALL Diamonds have the 2100MHz frequency!

[RandomDude]

Ok, this is my final post in this pointless thread as it seems people CANNOT read.

Here here. I can't believe people are holding onto this false sense that their imported models will work on UMTS 850.

I wouldn't call this thread pointless, only the questions about UMTS 850MHz support! :)

[wfhowell]

my diamond works on 850 band with att but it doesnt give me 3g..

Wasn't that the prevailing opinion about 850 mhz gsm a month ago? Until radio v.05 came out, HTC themselves said 850 mhz was impossible, due to technical reasons. Lo and behold....I now can use the 850 mhz band. 3g on 850 might be a longshot....ok...a VERY long longshot if what is being said here is true, but you never know? :cool:

Can anyone confirm that if I install a cooked ROM such as duttythroy's that I will retain full NextG HSDPA functionality? Is it hardware based that the Diamond is allowed to connect to 850mhz? Or will software affect this aswell?

IT IS HARDWARE BASED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nbos04]

well this is all a bit dissapointing... oh well... i can live without super fast 3g till the touch pro comes out on the 850Mhz with telstra.

Like the Diamond, the Touch Pro will have the same issue. The European/Asian version does not have the 850 Band for 3G. Apparently the American version will :confused: (can this be confirmed)?

Also, it is unlikely that Telstra will release a "branded" (and I use the term loosely) Touch Pro as the general market in Australia leads more towards phones like the Diamond and similar genre (ie, more style than work - though don't get me wrong, I think the Diamond can be used for work, but I would not).

There is discussion with respect to the US AT&T ROM being flashed onto a European TP to see if it can access the 850 band, but once again, there may be hardware differences (after all, HTC is dealing with a larger market in this case). Still this is all up in the air as the TP is still to come out.

Either way, it looks like I will be upgrading my old phone (original Zinc) to a TyTNII, as I really want NextG because there is no normal 3G where I am:)

This is the ROM that is shipped with all Telstra Diamonds. At least I can now Flash other ROMS and always come back to the Telstra ROM if I wanted.

[stpete111]

Ok, not to stray too far from the subject (Telstra for AUSTRALIA!!), but for the US folks (including me) who still have that ray of hope that a ROM or Radio will somehow magically activate the WCDMA 850 radio in the Diamond for 3G data, LET GO OF THE HOPE... THE HARDWARE IS NOT THERE.

I don't know how much more clear this can be made. And yes, I understand that everyone thought that 850 GSM wasn't there either, and then new radio software activated it, but that's ONLY GSM. THERE IS NO WCDMA 850 RADIO IN ANY DIAMOND EXCEPT THE DIAMOND 110, which should be released in the US within the next month (hopefully).

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1386

Deal with it US folks. Hang on another month or so, sell your current Diamond if you already have one, and buy the US Diamond.

[SecureGSM]

@stpepte111

there are 2 models with support for 850Mhz 3G bands:

DIAM110: UMTS: 850/1900 GSM: 850/1800/1900 (900)
DIAM130: UMTS: 850/2100 GSM: 900/1800/1900 (850)

SecureGSM, agreed, however it seems clear from this thread that the DIAM130 isn't actually connecting to the 850mhz 3G for folks on Telstra. Who knows.

[JoeBlogs]

I just got a telstra diamond , Says Diam130 (P3720 on the box and stickers)
On box:

HSDPA/WCDMA:
850/2100 MHz
up to 384 kbps up & 7.2 Mbps down

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900
(Band frequency & data speed are operator dependent)


? So does it works with all the aussie major providers high speed networks ? (3g or whatever you call it)

Can some one confirm a working spl and rom that is compatable with TELSTRA diam130 as I wand a new rom :) and no telstra badging :)

[edgie168]

Well, thanks to walshieau's confirmation I flashed my DIAM130 with HardSPL 1.34 and it works fine...

Any ROM will work as long as it has the 850MHz UMTS option enabled in the phone settings (this is just a registry hack)

ROMs are your choice, Elite 3.0 and Dutty's latest both work well. Dutty's even has an older radio (.05) and still works on the 850MHz UMTS freq)

[JoeBlogs]

This will be my first rom flash do i need to do a reg hack to get my new rom working ? Is there any info on flashing these new telstra DIAM130's out there, I'm sure there's alot of ppl willing to flash there's but would like a verified version that needs no registry hacking to get it working.

I presume this is the correct forum.

ok so heres an update on this issue that might throw a cat amoungst the pigeons...:
i have put spl 1.40 on my phone now. i have just put 1.93.405.1 on and now updated the radio to 1.00.25.6.
so before i would always get the 3TELSTRA network label on my phone and a 'H' symbol up to top. anything else would be a 3G or a E or even a G. i was very clearly on the joint venture network of '3' and telstra. so now with my new updates i have a 'H' symbol and also it says Telstra in the network label field...
so who cares to explain this???
i also checked in the phone options to see if it even knew the 3TELSTRA joint venture network was there and it was well aware of it, it just didnt choose to switch to it and i is always showing a H symbol....
hmmmm

Nope, no cat and no pidgeons.

My Diamond came with 1.93.456.2 and 1.00.25.05 and has always shown Telstra as the connected network, never 3Telstra.

But I don't believe for a minute that I and getting the NextG band.

Dream on...

I'm returning mine for screen issue mentioned earlier in this thread.

[tazmaniak]

Hi all,

Firstly, I bought the Diamond Diam130 yesterday on a Telstra MRO. I'm from Tassie so I'm certain it was working on NextG as data speeds were quite fast, and we have no 3g network down here.

Secondly, battery life is bloody awful. I only got about four hours this morning, but admittedly wifi was on most of the time, and I was playing with it a fair bit. But still, it is unacceptable.

Hence I'd like to flash it with a different Rom. My first question was whether it'd be safe to change the rom, and still retain next-g functionality etc.
It seems that someone earlier stated it'd be safe, so I'll trust you! :)

Can someone please tell me where to find the most suitable and up-to-date rom for my particular phone?

Is it this one I found: NEW SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V5.6?

Sorry, I'm a fairly well qualified IT tech but haven't dabbled much with PDA's, and worried I'll completely bork my shiny new phone! :confused:

[Vector-SS]

......................

[tez82]

I have had my Telstra HTC Diamond for the last couple of weeks, but just sent it back as the battery hasn't been lasting me longer than 8hrs with little use (1hr of calls) no Wifi nor bluetooth etc.

But thats interesting about software versions etc what you guys are getting with your handsets. I thought on the HTC support website for Australia will have the latest updates etc for Telstra etc...

However the Telstra internet is pre-configured on the device - After a ROM change you may need to re-configure it. Can anyone confirm?

Hey edgie168,do you have a HTC Diamond phone? i also live in the U.S. and want to buy one,but it's kind of pricey$ and not sure if it will ever get the 3G from my AT&T service?Just wait for either the AT&T release or unbranded HTC [North American] release.

Until someone with an Australian Touch Diamond can confirm that they can hit our 3G network, I really, really wouldn't bother.

Having a phone like this without 3G is, IMO, silly.

[RandomDude]

If this is true about the AT&T Network:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Mobile_Telecommunications_System
While UMTS2100 is the most widely-deployed UMTS band, some countries' UMTS operators use the 850 MHz and/or 1900 MHz bands (independently, meaning uplink and downlink are within the same band), notably in the US by AT&T Mobility, and in Australia by Telstra (850 MHz only).

Then yes, the DIAM130/Telstra handset radio chip will work on any telephone carrier that supports UMTS 850MHz 3G OR UMTS 2100MHz 3G.

Thank Dickenz, I ended up using Dutty's latest rom (12/08).

Instructions to reconfigure Telstra WAP for Diamond after Custom ROM.

The ROM I used was Dutty's, dated 12/08/08. So far I highly recommend it.
This ROM actually automatically setup most of the settings.

All that remained was to open Settings > Connections
There was a connection called Telstra Internet.
Tapped Edit My Proxy Server
Tick This network connects to the internet
Tick This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet
Tap Advanced
Set Http proxy to 10.1.1.181 port 80
Then changed Opera homepage to wap.telstra.com/wap/

If you haven't already got a connection equivalent to my Telstra Internet one, I think you just create a new modem connection.
Select modem - GPRS, 3g
The access point was called telstra.internet on mine, but may need to be telstra.wap
Username, Password and Domain can be left blank
Tap Advanced and make sure it is set for Server Assigned.
Go Finish and then set Proxy Server as above.

Hope that helps some people

Note that the Telstra site does not list the Diamond, and I pinched the proxy setting off some other HTC device, but it worked fine

I've installed the Telstra ROM provided by RandonDude on my DIAM100. the results were the expected. No 3G or H connectivity. Only Edge and a good signal (better than radio .07).

Hey guys,
i brought the telstra HTC diamond from telstra on monday and the sales person told me it wasnt sim locked, so when i got home i have put my optus sim card in and turned it on. All the telstra stuff loaded up on the phone. Is there a way to remove all these telstra gear so it doesnt load up when i install the rom or am i better off getting the new rom SwiftBL. And if i do will optus still work or is this telstra diamond only work on the telstra network?

[tazmaniak]

Ah well done mate! Thank you muchly, saved me the hassssssssle that is calling Telstra :p

You're welcome. Least I could do since one of your posts helped me to decide to take the plunge and bin the factory rom!

Can't believe how much better it is now. It's gone from being a cool phone with a few serious issues :eek: , to being a bloody fantastic phone (maybe best consumer phone ever) :D , with a few minor issues (battery mainly).

I also installed the GSen software, which is excellent. Autorotation to landscape was one of the minor things which it really needed, and now has got!

Do you know of anything else I should modify or add to my device?

I'm still a bit of a n00b at this stuff (only had my phone a couple days), but I can definately recommend Dutty's latest rom. The phone should work on the Optus network fine I reckon. Note that it won't have NextG support (duh).

I'm tempted to try the other rom (swiftbl), but I'm that pleased with Dutty's I doubt I'll bother.

Hi Guys,

Managed to extract the spl from the Telstra DIAM130 using the intsructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412447 thanks to POF

Not sure where I can upload it to if you need it - but it was the last restriction for me to upgrade to one of the other roms.

Can upload if someone tells me where otherwise its fairly easy task to extract it before you update. Only issue I had to do was set the the following key to allow the utility assess HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies
valuename '00001001' was set to dword:2, change it to dword:1

Anyhow I havent tested it but happy to upload it somewhere if you need it.

After rom change to 1.93 Asia_HK, switch on it will ask country and network, choose Australia and Telstra it connect then setup and work as usual, i go throug the config, it same as the original telstra the good thing is now we allow to edit/delete "Telstra Internet" connection... no more telstra branding on home screen, on start up and on menu. no "Bigpond" on browser. 3G & H still work... now no RSS would someone confirm that 1.93 Asia_HK dont have RSS??

That's a link to hard spl thread...

Need an FTP site...

edit: here I put it up on Rapidshare http://rapidshare.com/files/137013682/spl_1.38_diam130.nbh.html
** Note ** This is the first time I have extracted an SPL and it is untested - Use at own risk **

Got it sorted. Rough instructions below for others who have same problem, incl possible useful keywords for people searching... :)

Instructions to reconfigure Telstra WAP for Diamond after Custom ROM.

The ROM I used was Dutty's, dated 12/08/08. So far I highly recommend it.
This ROM actually automatically setup most of the settings.

All that remained was to open Settings > Connections
There was a connection called Telstra Internet.
Tapped Edit My Proxy Server
Tick This network connects to the internet
Tick This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet
Tap Advanced
Set Http proxy to 10.1.1.181 port 80
Then changed Opera homepage to wap.telstra.com/wap/

If you haven't already got a connection equivalent to my Telstra Internet one, I think you just create a new modem connection.
Select modem - GPRS, 3g
The access point was called telstra.internet on mine, but may need to be telstra.wap
Username, Password and Domain can be left blank
Tap Advanced and make sure it is set for Server Assigned.
Go Finish and then set Proxy Server as above.

Hope that helps some people

Note that the Telstra site does not list the Diamond, and I pinched the proxy setting off some other HTC device, but it worked fine

Hi - thanks for your msgs - i tried exactly what you did and upgraded to Dutty's ROM 1.6, but now can't browse the Bigpond Page and Mobile Foxtel in 3G mode - have completed settings like you did, but no joy - are you able to view mobiletv.telstra.com and browse through it ?

My phone is the same as yours - DIAM130 bought from JB Hifi - was working before flashing and now no joy ! :confused:

Would appreciate hearing how you've gone ?!

[UPDATE] went back to stock Telstra ROM ( 1.38.841.5 with Radio .06 ) and it works fine for Browsing in Full 3G the Telstra Pages, Mobile Foxtel ( Olympics !! ) etc . . . - but no more of the speed from Duty's ROM ! Must be some other setting in the Registry or CSD setting ??

Would appreciate if anyone else has some ideas on how to get this working ?!

Did the SPL go back to the original Telstra 1.38 when you ran the RUU for the Telstra stock rom or are you still on Hard SPL?

[vnvmprde]

do not flash this : it's no goood fro oblinox


UPDATE: 1.37 Hard-SPL
for those who need 1.37 due to some screen fuzziness issues on some newer diamonds, here it is with hardspl patches:
- Developer Edition: can flash unsigned code. Version: 1.37.OliNex
- Signed Edition: can only flash preapproved signed code. Version: 1.38.OliNex (of course still based on 1.37).
please see Attachment below for Signed Edition!!
for Developer Edition, see the developer hardspl thread of course.

I recommend you flash the original HardSPL, as that one is MFG. only flash the 1.37 if you experience the fuzzy display issue.



the result will be:

"ERROR [262, 276, 284, 302] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs during the CE ROM code upgrade process.

Solution: If this happens, you can just soft-reset the device and run RUU again. The update process will then continue.

Note: At this stage, the Wince is destroyed; instead, it is in upgrade mode."

[efc93]

Did the SPL go back to the original Telstra 1.38 when you ran the RUU for the Telstra stock rom or are you still on Hard SPL?

am still on 1.24 hard SPL and yes - no dramas with original Telstra 1.38 ROM ( which actually isn't that slow after using it for a little bit now ! )

Just to clarify - definitely still NextG speeds on Duttys ROM, as i have DIAM130 850 bought from Telstra shop - so NextG speeds and 3G / 'H' correct band on display etc . . . - just problem with Telstra settings, to get access to BigPond Page ( in '3G' view - it views differently when not on the Telstra ROM - not as much graphics etc . . . fairly sparse ), Mobile Foxtel ( mobiletv.telstra.com ) etc . . . :confused:

Frustrating, as now trying to find all of the little CAB's that make up some of the best ROM's out there !

I remember seeing that Walshiau was going to be creating a new Elite ROM based on this, maybe someone could cook a Telstra ROM, then we would all be very happy ! :):cool:

( does anyone know the details of this 1.38 ROM, whether it matches up with the issues that were fixed in the Global 1.93 update ?? )

[mr_cat]

I am also on Duttys ROM and have the same issue (although I dont usually use any bigpond sites. Others seem OK.

Unfortunately I had bad battery life on the Telstra Rom but since going on Duttys been much better.

Have you tried any other roms to see if it does the same?

[mr_cat]

do not flash this : it's no goood fro oblinox




vnvmprde - whats is no good?

[efc93]

thanks - good to know i didn't bugger something up by myself !

haven't tried other ROM's yet, was using Panosha's Shine ROM, then tried Dutty's, as it seems fairly popular, but no joy !

not good to hear not good battery life with Telstra ROM - how many hours were you getting ?? ( ie. how bad was it ?! )

It's got to be a Registry or Network Connection settings somewhere - CSD settings anyone ??

[mr_cat]

I would be lucky to last a day without charging. And that was with using wirelesstime to switch the phone off at night.
Only had push email on and bluetooth turned on in the car on way to/from work.

Today I left the car fully charged with duttys rom and checked around 3pm and still had 80+% charge.

[mr_cat]

I have had issues on previous jasjam roms with Bigpond sites and they were usually due to the proxy server not being in.

Apart from that I am not sure. Its only a web page!

[efc93]

good point - thought that, but double checked the Proxy Settings - called Telstra to confirm, but still no joy ! ( didn't want to tell them that i had upgraded the ROM !! ;) )

is this the 'WirelessTime' that you are using ?

http://tinyurl.com/6fljtc

looks a good tool, thanks for the heads up, will try it if it is the right one ??

[mr_cat]

Yep thats the one.

Was using ver1 before this rom as it is more simple but it kept crashing on Duttys so went to ver 2

I am going to re-flash with SwiftBL and try it as my browser now has totally stopped working...

[mr_cat]

One thing I do remember - when I had the Stock Telstra rom I unlocked the telstra settings in the connections area and it DIDNT have the Telstra proxy in it. It was using the telstra.wap access point though.

[efc93]

yep - spotted that as well as i am back on the Telstra ROM - did notice that the connection is 'locked' and says it can't be modified - how did you manage to unlock it ??

[frozenwaffles]

so what hard spl did you guys load in your diam130's?
i cant get a headset to work properly with the telstra rom...

[efc93]

Hard SPL 1.24 :-

http://tinyurl.com/6bnl45

have got Motorola & Plantronics Bluetooth Headsets running fine on it at the moment, just having to search around for all those handy CABS that make up the perfect ROM - a cooked Telstra ROM would do wonders !!:)

[mr_cat]

yep - spotted that as well as i am back on the Telstra ROM - did notice that the connection is 'locked' and says it can't be modified - how did you manage to unlock it ??

It was just a registry setting if found by googling - had to change a key from read only to 0

Will look for it if you cant find it.

I have also extracted the rom...if you want to be the new Telstra cook...?

Hard SPL 14 :-



I was getting screen flicker with Hard spl 1.4

I had to go up to 1.93

ok, confirming that you are still on the Telstra ROM and not on Dutty's or SwiftBL or something else ??

[frozenwaffles]

ok so i am on hardspl 1.93 now, rom 1.93.831.1 and radio 1.00.25.7 and wow...my next G reception is perfect where i used to only get 2-3 bars!!!
cant believe telstra dont get it right!
in some places the phone would switch to the 3telstra network and not even pick up the nextG network, nots its 3G all the WAY!
much much much happier now!

[frozenwaffles]

ok so i have updated to:
spl: 1.93
rom: 1.93.831.1
radio: 1.00.25.7
and WOW! my phone is awesome now...defaults straight to the nextG network and i get full reception where i used to only get 2-3 bars! i would even get the 3Telstra network in certain places, now 3G telstra all the way!!! finally. cant believe telstra cant even get their phone right!

one small thing though: i have notice the slight dicolouration at the bottom of the screen...i think this is a DIAM130 issue and not some random fault.

[frozenwaffles]

sorry for double post

I noticed some flicker before I went to 1.93 but no discoloring.

[mr_cat]

can you browse to mobiletv.telstra.com ??

Wild though, but could it be the Telstra streaming cab is needed?

Anyhow I am going to have a look at the Telstra Rom in the kitchen and see if there is anything I can cook into the 1.93 rom to do the trick.

yep - tried that as well and setup the correct ports on Streaming Media ( standard ROM one - it isn't a special Telstra one from what i can see ) - the correct ports are Streaming Media - Ports 6970 – 7170

but still no joy !! :(

Did your screen discoloration come after you updated the ROM?

[frozenwaffles]

no it was there from the start...doesnt bother me one bit at all, unless the whole screen is white you cant notice it..

[Windza]

Guys - I just went and bought a DIAM130 (will be returning the 100 to seller) and there is a definite colour difference between the two models (the 130 is slightly warmer/yellowish). The colour of the 130 is uniform though and I probably wouldn't have picked it if I didn't sit both of them side by side. I actually prefer the warmer screen and wouldn't mind betting the screen now represents colours more accurately.
On a different note - I am impressed with the response of the 130 ROM, even with all the Telstra crap loaded... it rivals the 100 with Swift's ROM.

[RandomDude]

Has no-one extracted the SPL yet?

[Windza]

What are others impressions of the Telstra ROM on the DIAM130 (1.38.841.5)?

I'm in a pickle ATM cause I was using Swift's ROM (5.6) on the DIAM100 and thought it would be a good candidate for the 130 - flashed it yesterday and was disappointed (no disrespect to Swift) - the official ROM is by far the fastest and smoothest ROM I've seen on a Diamond although I haven't used any 1.38 based cooked ROMs.

Even though it retains some of the screen change animations, they are smooth and completely stutter free (the time-flip and fly in/out looks like it runs at >25fps!).
Has anyone else noticed this ?
Now, if we could just clean up the crap that Telstra wants us to look at....

[frozenwaffles]

telstra rom is shithouse, doenst event use the next g netwprk all the time if you have a next g sim (which i do).... 1.93.801.1 with the radio 1.00.25.7 is the best combo ever!

[mr_cat]

Has no-one extracted the SPL yet?

Got it if you want it. Link on my previous post.

Just havent had to test it yet.

exactly the issue i've had ! tried Dutty's and Swift ROM's and no go with the 3G Telstra pages. Gone back to stock Telstra ROM and it is fairly quick though !

got hold of NextG level 2 support the other day for issue with Mobile Foxtel and bounced the question off him and he did say that there are registry settings in place as well, but he can't tell me what they are !

anyways, quite happy with the performance of stock ROM, but would love to tweak a little more with the nifty apps and utils that come out from the cooked ROM's.

if i knew how to or had the time, would love to cook the Telstra ROM, but maybe we have to wait until someone more knowledgeable can do this !

[RandomDude]

I got the info off the start screen:

g 52.31.25.13u
d 1.38.00.00

Now is it work doing the hard_spl and cooked rom/radio thingos?...

if so what would be compatable?

I've looked around for a few hours now, and can't find anything 'specific'

Cheers, and rock on HTC!

interesting to note as well, that there are numerous Telstra references in the Registry when you do a search for it, especially around media streaming and Internet Profile sections, so definitely something to look at when we end up getting a cooked Telstra ROM !

Flashing back to stock:

with regards to this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2324829&postcount=39


STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!

0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package from this post (pick one of the attachments) in this thread.
2. also download the RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH.zip from the attachments in this post.
3. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, put the NBH in the extracted RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH package.
4. run the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+5. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen.


Specifically:
3. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, put the NBH in the extracted RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH package.


If I take the .nbh file directly from the Telstra ROM which I downloaded from the HTC e-club (and uploaded earlier), which includes official radio, OS and SPL - and put it with the RUU-SSPL-withoutNBH... will this completely restore my device to the way Telstra sold it in one move? As opposed to flashing radio, os and then SPL seperately - am I able to use that one NBH to do the whole lot?

[timn2087]

I just purchased my Telstra Diamond from Retravision in Heathmont (Melb) for AU$770 plus $18 for shipping. Great deal, cheaper than eBay and proper tax invoice warranty and service etc as they are a Telstra shop.

[frozenwaffles]

im going back to the telstra rom with radio 1.00.25.8...results to be posted...

[Windza]

telstra rom is shithouse, doenst event use the next g netwprk all the time if you have a next g sim (which i do).... 1.93.801.1 with the radio 1.00.25.7 is the best combo ever!

and now

im going back to the telstra rom with radio 1.00.25.8...results to be posted...

Can I ask why?
I'm keen to know the results with .08 but I might just flash anyway and pass on my opinions as well...
I'm currently using .07 with stock ROM but still have poor NextG reception in comparison to LG's and Nokia's...

[frozenwaffles]

well i just thought i would give it another go. i like the telstra logo on the home screen and the date where it is under the clock.
however i cant seem to get windows mobile live to work...just says syncronisation failed. strange...
the .7 and .8 radios seem to do next G much better so im reuuning hard spl 1.93 unsigned, telstra rom and 1.00.25.8 radio...
so far so good except for the windows live issues...
i tried the swift rom but dont like all the extra bullshit...
i think someone needs to cook the telstra rom with the latest windows core and htc rom 1.93! come on chiefs!

[frozenwaffles]

yeah so windows live does not work with the telstra rom...it just does not connect... im going back to a generic rom...telstra you suck!

[NuXnug]

Im running with stock telstra rom from a diamon i just got 2day ago. windows live runs fine... :confused:

[frozenwaffles]

hmmm how bizzar...maybe the stock rom knows i have differnet radio and spl so wont let it work...who knows??? on normal 1.93 rom everything works 100% though!

[timn2087]

What about backing up the Telstra Rom's registry using SPB? Then restore the backup into a cooked ROM. Any thoughts?

[frozenwaffles]

why cant telstra just get it fixed and upgraded to 1.93 as well. i also cant use a bluetooth headset with the telstra rom however under normal rom it works fine!

[mr_cat]

What about backing up the Telstra Rom's registry using SPB? Then restore the backup into a cooked ROM. Any thoughts?

Did try that - looked just liked the Telstra Rom and even said it was 1.38

I must admit after trying a lot of ROMs the T$ one is quite fast. The TF3D is very responsive.
I have pretty much gone back to it and then applied all my patching to that using advanced config.

[timn2087]

Since getting my DIAM130, I have not been able to get eMoze working - I have tried it under the original ROM and all the other ROMS out there. I was flashing ROMs all night to try to get it to work:(
I always used emoze with IMAP on my DIAM100 with Elite 3.0 ROM - not a problem in the world. But now.....:mad:

[stevodude]

So whats the status of flashing the telstra diamonds?

so if I load hard_spl 1.24
radio 1.00.25.05
swiftBL-WWE_diamond-Rom-v6.0

Reload manually the telstraInternet configuration

this will work?

if I need to send it back I can:
reload telstra rom from htc website.
reload default radio ( from somwhere)
reload default SPL (from somewhere)

[edit]
I loaded hard_spl_1.24
radio 1.00.25.05
I get no 3g icon

[edit] I found the 1.00.25.08 (which I assume adds 3g/nextg support) - thanks to timn2087's sig :-)
3g is back.

[warhead1]

why do you want to downgrade to the .05 radio when the phone already comes with .06 and there's already .08 out.

[stevodude]

I didn't know that :-)

also a few posts have said that .05 reduced the heat on the device.

doesn't matter as I have .08 on it, and 'H' came up when I send/receive mail so all good.

next step is rom...

thanks in advance:)

I's say you'll need HardSPL (I don't think you can flash a ROM from different region without it).

You should still retain regular GSM connectivity - just don't expect it to enable NextG on the 100 - that's water under the bridge:p

If you're wary of flashing you can still access the Telstra services from the original ROM (although it won't be candied like the Telstra ROM)- you just need to set-up the phone for it - the settings are floating about in a few places - try whirlpool, telstra or here...

thanks for that. i have tried putting the settings in that were on this thread, but i am still not recognised as a telstra cutomer by the phone/internet

[Windza]

Do you have a NextG SIM? I'm not sure if that matters - but maybe the Telstra services are only be available to NextG users?

[ype11e]

yeah, i do have next g sim. all features worked on my jasjam...

[Windza]

It seems odd that you can't connect because my 100 connected no worries after entering the settings...

I don't wish to sound condescending but are you certain you using the correct settings?

From memory I think its something like:
HTTP proxy server: 10.1.1.181 and rename AP point to telstra.wap

[stevodude]

I flashed with the switft rom and a .08 radio rom from these forums, the swift rom has an 'auto detection' for multiple providors, and supports the telstra config.
I did nothing the the networking and I get the nextG tesltra sign up, and surfing the web through it brings up the 'H' signal, so I assume it all works...

[Dassa]

Got it if you want it. Link on my previous post.

Just havent had to test it yet.

I am going to flash my TD, but I`m trying to find all the files I need to go back to the original rom.

Had a look but could not find the original SPL.

Thanks

So guys if i were to load HardSPL 1.93, SwiftB, Duttys or Shine On ROM and radio 1.00.25.08. Would all my telstra NextG options still work properly. Ie internet, emails, GPS?

Which spl would i need. i dont know which one to get?

hey so any help on getting back to the stock spl for telstra diamo130??? i have the spl that was posted ealier in this thread???

[frozenwaffles]

ok so i put the stock 1.93 spl via the directions, for somerreason it all just worked now, then when i tried to restore the telstra rom it wouldnt work...that was with the device booted as normal. so then i rebooted and held down the vol- button and got the rainbox screen...spl 1.93 still...tried to install the telstra rom and hey presto we have afull restore, spl, radio and rom...! yay so back to super stock
but i still have the windows live problem that when i go to sync it wont work (via a gprs/hsdpa connection) the only way windows live will work is if its connected via usb/activesync. any ideas guys...??? if i have all the normal stock unbranded rom from HK on there it works fine... as in WL via gprs.
but i want to stick witht he telstra rom for a while to actually give it a chance....

[frozenwaffles]

[RandomDude]

Ah, Telstra stock SPL is 1.38, not 1.93

[frozenwaffles]

no there i was referring to the 'stock' spl that is not olinex 1.93 unsigned spl...he has it listed in his 'restore stock spl' post....

I have both Tomtom and Igo8 working on my Diamond and I've tried various ROM's and Radios (all on Olinex 1.4 Developer SPL).

Can't say I've noticed any differences between the ROM's or Radios really... what I have noticed though is that on occasion (mostly after a soft or hard reset but not always) Tomtom will take up to 10-20 mins to find satellites - once it has though, it works a treat for most part.

Luckily enough I haven't had any of the major lag problems that others are experiencing... maybe 50-100m sometimes, but I've never used a dedicated GPS unit to know what is acceptable anyway

My suggestion to you would be to leave Tomtom running for 15-20mins in clear view of the sky and see if you have any luck...

[frozenwaffles]

ok so i just got off the phone with HTC, the reason windows live does not work is due to telstras internet settings that are locked in the phone, they use a proxy and so windows live will not work. you hvae to switch AP for windows live to work....grrr at telstra!

[omniwolf]

AP? access points? what do u mean

[RandomDude]

Create a new GPRS session, use telstra.internet as the AP point, don't add a proxy.

Voila!

[frozenwaffles]

yes i did that....and obviously windows live works fine now. but i tried switching back to the telstra internet setting to use all the shortcuts for telstra services etc...and now none of those links work...if i use any of the telstra links/favourites none of them work, i just get an error in opera... im on the phone to them now to see what the go is...

[eatm3]

OK guys Im new to this and want to apologise in advance if someone has already posted the link to the Telstra ROM. This is a signed ROM so i don't know if this if of use or not. Hope this helps.

Hi, check back in this thread, as I recall someone mentioning that there might be issues flashing the Telstra ROM (originally from a DIAM130) to a DIAM100. If I'm wrong someone please correct me.

well this is the thing. in band settings of my DIAM100, it has umts 850 as an option. i am on next g and alot of the time, i have H in the top of the screen, also connects to nextg g with h. so am i right in saying that my DIAM100 is compatible with 850 on umts? if yes, which hard spl would i need to install telstra rom?
thanks again

you might wanna read this thread from the start...trust me you dont have nextg....

[ype11e]

yeah, i have read every post. it just seems strange to me that i have the option for 850 umts and i get the h to come up. but let me tell you 1 thing. when i go into the band settings, i choose 850 umts, but it will always go back to auto. the phone connects to either "E"dge or "G"prs, but later on it will connect through "H"spda. i get faster speeds when i am on the "H"spda, or atleast i think its faster. I undersdtand that the DIAM100 does not support next G but whatever i do, i cant get to the proper wap.telstra.com/wap site with my diamond that i can with my telstra jasjam. I even got the telstra proxy server exe file from my jasjam onto my diamond and it does not help. I have put in all the proxy server settings, but still cant get to it. the wap site on my diamond is the same one you would get if you typed wap.telstra.com/wap into your pc. it is really annoying. thats why i want to know which hard spl i need to install telstra rom on my phone, unless anyone out there has any ideas on how to get the full telstra content on my DIAM100
thanks:)

[frozenwaffles]

dude use the code to check what network you are on when you think you have a h symbol....you will find you are on the 3telstra network...not the telstra nexg g network.....
its ok, one day all of you will com eto erms that its different hardware and when we are up to radio firmware 9.00.58.24 and you are still dreaming... i will downloading all my files and syncing at loverly telxtra next g speeds....lol

[charly_mx]

IT IS HARDWARE BASED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you only say that because you have a 3G diamond, but you are not based on actual evidence.. that is shame

[ype11e]

I was just wondering why i would have an h if it is not connected to next g. i accept that. i just really want to get telstra content on my phone which i cant get and its annoying. can anyone help me out with any settings or tweaks? its like i am looking at a wap site with a pc rather then a phone and its nothing like the wap site on a phone,

You will see "H" when you are on Telstra's 3G 2100 Mhz network which is only in the metropolitan areas of capital cities.

Walshieau is certainly basing that claim on actual evidence. He has a Telstra DIAM130 850Mhz hardware, and I have the DIAM130 myself as well. I had a DIAM100 for 8 weeks then I got the DIAM130 850Mhz and believe you me, you will never get 850Mhz 3G working on a DIAM100 - I would have done it myself if it was at all possible.

[omniwolf]

i've lost the my places tab on my TF3D due to skinning and theme'ing etc.

i was wondering if someone could do me a favour to get it back?

go into your windows folder on the phone, and edit the

26948339_manila

file. in it you'll see a bunch of stuff, scroll down about 13 pages until you see

<Page Order="0" Name="home.page" PackageName="HTC" Default="true" Title="[[IDS_HOMETITLE]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\home.mode9?testParam=1" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Home_Off" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Home_On" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Home_Preview" />
</Page>
<Page Order="1" Name="people.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_FAVORITEPEOPLETITLE]]">


etc

you'll see how each Page section says Name=home, and Name=people. can you find the section that says name=myplaces or something that sounds like the My Places tab, and paste it in there for me? i need the stuff between <page ... > and </page> (inclusive).

thanks!

like i said, i know it is hardware base. i understand. all i am asking for is help displaying telstra content on my handset. the website wap.telstra.com/wap on my diamond displays exacly as it does on a pc. i put my simcard in my jasjam and it displays correctly. i have deleted all internet/wap settings and re entered settings, gone through connection wizard and still can not get the wap site to display correctly. thats what i need help with, not the fact that my DIAM100 does not have next g. please help. thanks:)
