Hi,
first of all: i spend much time searching this site (and the web) but i did not find any comparable posts, unfortunately.
My problem:
The Diamond cannot be turned on. By pressing the on button it stays off and gives absolutely no response.
I tried a lot of things but without success, e.g.
- battery out (>30min)
- charging long (over night, but even the LED are not shining)
- charging over USB
- hard reset
All useless the phone stays dead.
My Question:
Does anyone has an idea what the hell is goning on with my Diamond?
Do i have again calling HTC support, shipping the phone and wait at least 2 or 3 weeks for repair?
I think they send me a new battery the last time (Serial-No was different) but the phone was the same.
I was very happy with the Diamond in the beginning, but as the phone robs much time for nothing my euphoria is getting less. (no i will not buy an iphone
I hadn't such problems with my lovely old fat HTC Universal.
Thank you all for you help and hints in advance
Problem solved. Battery was absolutely dead, i bought a new one. Maybe my charger is not ok. I try charging it via USB for a couple of days.

Hi guys, I've recently bought a MTeoR and was loving it. I wake up this morning and LO! the battery indicator has the little X in it. (the manual says it is faulty or that there is no bettery. and i promise there is!!!)
I really, really have dont nothing to the phone since purchasing it except put music and photos on. Is there anything i can do OTHER than drive to the place i bought it (miles away)? Is this a known problem?
I have tried:
- Taking the battery out (Resetting)
- I have also done a complete restart!
- I have tried the USB cable (which was working fine) and the AC charger all over the household. It wont charge coz it thinks there's no or a faulty battery.
im really quite sad here... lol...please some1 rescue my day!!!
thanks,

I don't know what is happening but the last 2 nights my Diamond turned itself off during the night.
The first night it was due to my diamond having a battery leak, my entire battery drained during the night so I couldn't turn it on until i charged it.
But last night was different it just turned itself off and this morning i needed to switch it on again, when i did it was fully charged :S
Are there more people experiencing this problem and if so, what is the last thing you do before laying it away for the night?
I usually kill all programs (with the default menu in the topright) and then run oxios closeapps.
I'm getting the same thing. I have a UK T-Mobile MDA Compact IV (HTC TD).
Last thing I do is close all progs and leave on the home screen plugged into the manufacturer supplied AC charger.
When I awake in the morning 5/10 times it's shut down, no idea why though!
Might be a heat cut out while charging thing?

I think your handsets are fautly. if you have warranty just send them for repair. and if you are withing the 28day limit then get a brand new replacement
dead as well
same over here Netherlands t mobile, phone runs for half an hour and then its dead , only to wake up after taking out the battery. I have already flashed the phone so , BeyBey phone???
mine is uk tmobile and have seen it just shut down without warning
i knew the battery was low though, it was also damn hot, switching back on whilst connected via usb would see it get a few seconds into booting before black screening on me again
cant decide if it needed more juice in the battery or cooling down before i would start properly
as i didnt get a low battery warning, which i know does work, i am suspecting over heating - it was serioulsly hot
Have you guys upgraded ROM and Radio?
i know i havent
i have installed a few apps but not flashed rom or anything

Hey all.
Flashed my compact with the following
Olinex 1.40 Hard SPL
Shone on 1.4 WWE Rom
1.00.25.05 Radio
I also swapped battery with the wife's HTC Diamond for a few days then swapped back (may make not a drop of difference) but the closing down issue has not repeated itself at all.
Good luck & hope my information is useful

I've had my MDA C IV for a month now, it happened to me for about 3 nights in a row, a few weeks back. But not had the problem since. Not flashed the phone and only installed a few apps.
Somewhere here is allready a thread where many people are reporting reboot of the diamond over night while it is charging. They stated it happens only with device plugged in, so perhaps all posters in this thread have encountered the problem also with plugged in Diamond.
Because so many have this issue perhaps it is not a faulty device, but a faulty design of it. If only loaded my device once over night and did not payd attention to this, but I fear my device will do the same thing.
I haven't had this problem, but then I have never charged my phone overnight. Why do that? The phone can be recharged quite quickly. When i am at work, I simply connect the phone to my laptop USB. Syncing and charging at the same time. That's about it. Indeed I have never used my charger for the last 2 years with my Hermes either.
hi guys,
im having the same issues, maybe worse, im new so please be nice...
i came back to my phone and the screen was black, the only noticeable sign of life was the ''breathing''...
as i normally do i pressed the key to turn it on but this time it wouldnt turn on...it was as if the screen was frozen...after a while it came back on but than the phone was frozen...tried pressing more keys and than the screen went to a ''static'' like display (like what u get on a tv)
the phone then turned off for no apparent reason...after a few minutes of repeating this i decided to do a soft reset...
its back to normal...for now.....
the battery is full...
thoughts?
Thanks
Had a the same thing on my Touch Pro a couple of times. Sounds like a common fault.

Hello,
After a few months without using my Touch Diamond (unlocked, as far as I remember the only "tweak" I did was a new radio rom), I've tried a few days ago to use it again.
Problem: I can't switch on.
Anything I try, (soft reset, hard reset) does nothing.
I plug it to charge the battery, nothing happen.
It worked well before. Is it bricked, or do you know another trick to swith on this phone ?
Thanks for your help.

EDIT: sorry, I was pretty sure I already posted before... So hello, kjb, french in belgium, 28 years old
Hi, welcome, sometimes when the battery is dead, you will not be able to switch the phone on, even when connected to the charger. Charge it for half an hour and try again. If it still does not switch on, then maybe you should contact a repair service.
Hello,
I've already tried to charge it one full night (even if the phone's button was not highlighting), and it changed nothing.
So my battery would be dead... At less, I know what's the problem, now.
Thank for your answer
kjb
My phone turns off by itself when it is charged ! 5-6 times a day, maybe even more
I can't turn it on after this. !!!
After this I can turn it back ON only I connect it to the USB cable !!!
(it dose not need time to charge, just to be connected to charger or USB. After this it may work for 2 hours and just go off again)
I searched the forum, and not only, but had not find any posts with the same problem
This phone is my "life" - I can't go to T-mobile or smthing, don't live in USA ... so relay don't know what to do... I will be glad if you give me some tips
P.S. the phone is not rooted or smthing, I even tried to delete all apps I installed to see if this will help.
Your battery is probably jacked up. Buy a new one. Then after that root that G1 and put CyanogenMod 5 or CyanogenMod 6
For sure your battery. There is a post on this same q&a section about this same issue.
sent from my superfroyo dream
I was thinking about the same thing, but:
I need to plug it in only to power up (I don't leave it a second for charging - it is all ready 80% or more or less dose not matter) - the battery is holding the charge, and the discharge rate is at a normal speed
The problem is that: it shuts down from time to time - and when this happens I need to plug it in order to turn it back on
If I turn it off myself - I will be able to power it up with no problem
I had the same problem until I actually took a look at my battery and saw how swollen/warped it had become. Take a look at yours and if your battery seems the least bit swollen, its time for a new one. I ordered mine today.
K thanks for your help going to look on ebay for a new battery...
Any tips on what to look for? I see some with 1400mha and even 2400 (but they are too bing for me - have to think about it)
I just picked up a standard battery off eBay for like $5 since I plan on switching phones this December but I saw phones with double the life for like $10

hi everyone.
ai bought a second hand gear 1 from ebay and the seller said she obly used it twice when she got it a year ago and its been sat unused since then.
my issue is that i charge the watch up and it seems to go down normally and then when its about halfway down it just dies and wont turn on for at least 20mins then when it starts up it shows 0% battery and shuts down. then i power up again later and its back to halfway?
i have tryed resetting many times and nothing seems to work. I have also tryed putting the Null custom rom on and makes no differance. the watch is perfect apart from that. my thought is that the battery inside is stuffed from not being used for so long but not sure
thanks for ur input guys!
Matt
Does it get hot?
It may be shutting down due to excess heat, partic since you say it restarts later.
How long did you charge it for, I've read that a PC USB charge of 16 hours+ may be needed if the watch has been left sometime without charge.
Other than that it may mean that you need a new battery - sorry.
thanks very much for the advice. it was the battery. i replaced it and all seems ok now
