Camera Failed
Dear friend,
J have the same problem. (Failed to initialize camera 36001:100:1)
Did you solved your's problem ?
If you solved please help me !!!
Best regards
Dejan

I bet your speakers don't work either...
Try tapping the phone, I heard that happened after a bad drop...
Just...(as weird as this sounds) keep tapping it...very firmly.
Search around and see some other methods.

my o2 exec having the same problem too. i didnt drop the phone at all..

i m got the latest news from the technician.. he said the connector is broken. so, i think is time to change to new phone.

sound thing happened to me .. i took out the battery blew on it and replaced .. the sound worked :s
as for the camera .. still working on it

Ok

Hi i think i have solved the problem (at least i had the same problem and now my universal is workin)
what i did was so simple 1. downloaded user manual from xda ftp
2. disambled the device according to instructions, i took out the main camera and replaced it back.
3. reinstalled the rom. now its okey just working like before.
(it may be a camera connector issue.)

i had this once after installing a new rom, this was easily fixed with a hard reset, and then a new rom install after hard reset , i think it is more a driver issue rather than hardware.

Ok

Before doing this i made lots of hard resets and i used all wm5-6 roms available, anyways: people, before disassembling ur universal make hard reset in case it works )

TBH id certainly not recommend anyone disassembling there devices unless they know 100% what they are doing and the device is out of its warrenty.

Ok

I had the same error message.
I am sure it was NOT an hardware issue, because each time I reinstalled the OS (VM5) of my device, the camera was working fine, and won't work after the first reset.

Problem with the 1.93.xx release.

I have a imported DIA100 phone, and trying it on the T-mobile network here in the states. everything was fine up until today when i upgraded my phone to the 1.93 series, now it randomly shuts off, and it cannot connect to the T-mobile network, keeps saying (searching). I don't know what's going on, I reflashed the device and it still does the same thing, infact it might even be worse now. Restarting the phone doesn't work, as it keeps restarting from the boot. Anyone have any idea what to do? I'm going back to 1.35.

i too have many problems with 1.93.456.2 WWE baserom. somehow, it just doesn't seem so stable ... not sure if many others are feeling the same for 1.93 roms. i guess 1.37.456.2 ME WWE is still the most stable at the moment...
if only we can have a review on all official rom consolidated in one thread.

Sprite?
Did you use Sprite to backup your previous rom and store it in 1.93xxx?
This could be the cause.

Yes i had same problems. imo the 1.93 isnt a stable rom(yet) so im back with 1.37.456.2 this one is just perfect,very stable,less memory leakage.

Well, the problem is still on going. I can't flash my phone anymore for some reason, even though I've tried both, unsigned and signed Hard-SPL, which both of them flash fine. However, the phone gives me error [276] update error. So not sure what exactly is going on here.

Also, no, didn't sprite backup, phone's just being retarded, mobilecityonline will repair it, but it will take almost 4-6weeks, I cannot wait that long. What else should i try?

Okay, nope not fixed... Flashed it with 1.37, connected to the network for a few seconds, dialed somebody and no ring or anything, but when i called my phone i could hear my own voice. So I guess i have to send it in for repair. Damn.

Could you please detail? I've flashed 1.93.xxx just in the day it appeared on the site and after flashing, I've restored the backup made with Sprite Backup to preserve the settings and so on. I wasn't worried about the contacts/calendar since I have them in Outlook, but I didn't want to start all over with settings, install programs and so. I've made the restore in "upgrade mode", restoring also the databases. The result was that I got a verry strange TF3D, displaying "Home" between the operator name and date, and strange behaviour. I've seen also that the animations were taken out so I've flashed back 1.37.xxx.3. Could be any problems generated by the restore operation? Should I use a different restore type (eventually not selecting "restore databases")?

I have had no problem with the new 1.93xx rom.
Touch FLO 3d is quicker (probably because the animation is disabled)..
and the battery life is about 20% better

Radio ROM Anyone
Sounds like the Radio...
What version is everyone on? The 1.93 ROM updates the Radio, have you tried downgrading to 03?

I am on 05 and has no problem ( have been using it for a day now)

I don't know, but If i plug the diamond into my adapter, the network suddenly works and I can actually make calls and everything's fine and dandy, but just on the battery, I can't call anyone, and if I pull out the adapter when the phone gets a signal, the signal stays but again, can't call anyone because i can't hear anything.
It's an awkward problem. I'm not sure if it's my battery or something. So I'm getting another battery off ebay since they don't sell HTC Touch Diamonds in the U.S. yet.

I've been having random freezes with the 1.93.xxx
Anybody else experienced that?
A.

Yes, me I had same problem twice - freezes on PIN input screen, second problem with this release is that sometimes PIN screen doesn't appear. Now I'm back on 1.37 and everything seems to be ok

THe Problem you've encountered:
1. Random auto reboot
2. Random freeze
3. etc.
It's sounds familiar to me. Well it's maybe have to do with SPL just like the Kaisers do.Well, I said maybe... So, what we did to our Kaiser before is flashing the HardSPL which has the same version number as the ROM flashed. So, if you're using ROM 1.93 then the HardSPL should be flashed is Olinex HardSPL 1.93 or you can try one by one of the developed HardSPL existed in this forum. My saying is, go with HardSPL 1.93 and see what happen. If it's still no go then it must have to do with the ROM itself.
Just my 2cents.

[Q] Device hangs at random when witching on

Hi all,
My Diamond is acting weird lately; sometimes (so far it seems at random) when I turn on the device (from standby), the display is grey'ish / scrambled, and nothing works. I have to removed the battery to get it working again.
This happens with all ROMS found here (haven't tried stock rom yet).
Anyone know what this might cause?
I'm running dev. edition SPL from olinex...
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
/edit; Could this be SPL related?

Maybe perform the hardSPL again?
Reform the battery for a minute. After this hard reset your device a few times.
If this doens't fix the problem use your original ROM and send the device back for repair.
Would be my solution

I have the same problem. Diamond swiches to standby mode and does not resume or just the light switches on and the screen is blank. Sometimes, it even switches off while booting. All the time, I have to remove the battery. And after some "battery remove resets", the error seems to occur more and more often. It also suddenly looses the phone signal but immediately finds a new one ofter 1-2 seconds.
I think it is somehow related to the phone chip-whatever. Because when I turn the phone of it seems to run more stable. Errors are not gone but at least I can use it as a mp3 player then.
I tried lots of roms but none of them worked fine. I even restored the original spl to make sure it is not the spl. But error is still there... stronger than ever
I will send it back to htc. This thing is obviously broken. Its one of the typical qualcomm errors. These chips are... what do you say in english... moody? My old polaris had a similar error. the 3g part of the phone went away.

Hi mikkelnl... from what you described, it seems to be a typical problems with the SPL you are using. Depending on which SPL that the original ROM that came with your device, you can resolve by installing the respective 1.37 OliNex HardSPL Unsigned or the 1.93 OliNex HardSPL Unsigned by cmonex.
Try to get it from the same thread that you got the 1.40 OliNex HardSPL-Developers Edition. There is also some explanation on the problems that you are experiencing.
One more thing, Radio 1.00.25.08 also appears to have some detrimental effects on some devices after some usage. And it has a lingering effects too. Try use Radio 07 if you are in Europe or Radio 05 if you ar in Asia...
Having said all these, I must state that these are purely my observations and you really need to try it out for yourselves to know whether it works for you. I have given the same advice to about 5 users experiencing these problems and it had worked for them so far.

Hi Swiftblade!
Thanks for the reply. I've read about those newer SPL versions, but I didn't think it was the reason for my problems, since I have one of the first Diamonds (can't remember the spl version ). And; the thread mentions "fuzziness issues on some newer diamonds", my screen is not 'fuzzy', it simply is scrambled and the device completely hangs. So I didn't figure that would be the problem
Anyways; I am a bit reluctant to install a new SPL, never did that before...

Hi mikkelnl.. It's really worth a try. the description on the thread is of course vague. It is actually to deal with some discrepancy issues between SPL and the device's specification.
Doing a HardSPL will not affect your rom but it will hard reset it so you get a fresh clean rom. Do perform a backup before you do a HardSPL though. My best bet is 1.37 OliNex HardSPL Unsigned.. Cheerz
Edited: If this HardSPLs can't solve your problems then it might be a hardware issue that you are facing...

Well, I just installed 1.37 olinex, let's see if this helps
Thanks for the input Swiftblade! Now I'll just have to re-setup your 7.0 rom

Need some help regarding my Diamond

I recently flashed my diamond with a new rom however sometimes the phone is just freezing and won't work not even turn off!! I need to give it a hard reset to get it to work again. does anyone know what the problem might be??
cheers

Did you use MTTY before flashing?
Here's a link to the dedicated thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290
it will probably solve your problem.

i recently had an issue similar with yours and the only thing that worked for me was to return to stock rom from htc
then everything was smooth again and i'm taking a break from flashing for now

Voice playback (Not echo) - Radio out of date?

Hi all,
I've been having a very annoying problem recently with almost every ROM I have tried. I suspect that I may need to update my Radio but I don't want to try unless I'm sure this is the problem (I understand that it's riskier than flashing a custom ROM).
When I answer my phone (only from certain people) I will not be able to hear them, however whenever I speak my voice will come straight back through the speaker into my ear. I can ring anyone perfectly fine which is strange.
I have tried this with both Oxygen and Cyanogenmod ROMS (both on Froyo and Gingerbread).
My radio baseband is:
32.48.00.32U_5.11.05.14
I think this may be quite a long time out of date? Is this the problem?
Many thanks as this problem is driving me nuts!
-Rich

Ok I've just used ROM manager to get back to stock and the problem is still there
I have no idea what this could be now!

I doubt flashing the radio will actually fix it but I suppose you could try it. It's very simple to do. Just drop the radio zip file on the root of your SD then flash via Recovery. Takes seconds.

Is it happening all the time? Could i just be your network acting up for a bit?

Unfortunately not, I've had this problem for about a couple of weeks now. And it's happened quite a few occasions.
My mothers mobile phone is a good way to test if anything has worked as she can never get through! I can ring her though which is the strange thing.....
