I think my Sprint HTC Diamond is defective.

[Calico_NC]

I just got the sprint version of the HTC DIAMOND Sunday, and this is my first WM device. Warranty is still good as well.

My problems:

1)
When trying to take photos or videos, the zoom constantly moves in and out regardless of me not pressing a thing (For example, when i open the camera, the zoom constantly moves from 1.0-2.0x all on its on). I don't know if it suppose to do this or not, but i don't think so. The same thing goes for viewing pics and Opera as well, it zooms back and forth without me touching a thing.

2)
Sometimes it seems as if the "end" button or buttons on the right of the center button,doesn't respond well. I try to hold it down to lock my phone, but it takes several tries in order to this. Maybe its just me

3)
Iv'e read that the center button susppose to act like a scrolling mechanism, but i dont think mine does. Has this feature been disabled or something?

Its a nice phone, but i think mine has a couple of bugs. The zoom problem really annoys me, because i cant take pictures with the camera zooming in and out constantly. Please help..:confused:

When using opera Or the camera rotate your finger around the center button(stay on the outside of where it raises);)

With the end button try to press it on the far bottom right(as far from the center as possible.


I think the center as a scrolling thing has to be enabled

Make sure when you are in the album or camera, your palm isn't covering the scrolling "ring" around the centre button, as this could be causing the zooming problem. If all else fails, hard reset.

Also, for the buttons to the right, make sure you are almost at or close to the edge of the diamond. if you are close to the center button, it may be acting as a "right click" (as the area to the right of the center "scrolling ring" is a "right" button).

thanks for the info, but when i say it zooms without me touching it, i meant that literally. For example, right now im looking at a pic in my phone. The phone is literally just laying on its back while I'm typing this message. Its constantly zooming in and out of the pic in real rapid movements. Could it be the screen protector that came with the phone? (But then again, it only happens when I load the camera/camcorder,search the web, or view pics) I have it on, but i didn't think that would be the cause. Anyone else encounter this problem? Maybe I should just do a hard reset, or maybe return it. IDK

Sorry to hear...
I have the screen protector on that came with the device, and mine is working fine. Try a hard reset, let me know if it works ;)
