Couple of things to keep in mind BEFORE posting to this thread:

1. This thread is for solutions/tips/tricks ONLY!! It is NOT for asking random questions or troubleshooting technical problems with your Diamond. If you are contributing a tip/trick, please try to include a link to the thread (where applicable) that is discussing that particular topic.

2. If you have a question regarding a hack/tip/trick posted in this thread, do not post it here. All the hacks/tips/tricks posted in this thread should have their own dedicated threads in the forum so you should locate that thread and post to it. If you search and cannot find it, start a new thread.

3. If you have an unrelated, specific issue you need resolved, you should search the forum for a relevant thread and post in that thread. If you cannot find one, then start a new thread. If you post a problem to this thread asking for troubleshooting assistance, we will delete it without notice. This thread is ONLY for posting Diamond tips and tricks that you feel other people will find useful, nothing more.

4. AGAIN, this thread is NOT for asking questions of ANY type! It is simply for people to post tips and tricks about the Diamond. If you post a question or respond to someone who posted a question, YOUR POST WILL BE DELETED WITHOUT NOTICE! These strict rules are necessary in order to keep this thread readable for others.

5. If someone posts a tip/trick that is not correct, feel free to post a correction. We will subsequently edit the post in question to reflect the correction (We will try our best to give you credit) and then remove your post so that all information on that particular tip/trick is kept together in a single post.

lets try to refrain from blindly posting links to other forums as well. its ok to source the forum but take the time to post the hack and then reference to it if need be.

Found the way to enable scrolling here:

I set up scrolling for the built in Contacts and Total Commander to test it out using MSContactsUI and CECMD as the respective classnames values. Kind of a hassle, but still kind of neat.

Actually, Schaps Advanced Configuration tool has presets for SmartTouch as well as a user friendly way of managing these mappings.

Advanced Config Wiki Page

Take a Geo Tagged Picture
Reg Edit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1

When In camera click the Mode button, then click GPS Capture. It will save in newly created folder "MY POI" not the "My Pictures" folder.

Internal storage does survive a hard reset when done via the Volume + Enter + Power Key combo. If you use the Clear Storage utility found in Settings > Clear Storage, you will have additional options for clearing storage, internal storage, or a combination of both.

There's a cab on xda that extends the usb connect dialog to include ICS

[APP] Improved HTC USBToPC PopUp

I had to modify the registry to get it to work (defaults to Phone as Modem for the connection):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings]
"ForceCellConnection"="Sprint"

Nothing new really, but nicely integrated.

For those that don't know, the Soft Reset is UNDER the back cover. I Went crazy trying to find it.

Hard reset is also done by holding the volume down, enter button and the top power button at the same time.

Press and hold the talk button and ask "what is the battery level" or what is the signal strength". Pretty cool.

I did the following registry hacks that I found over at XDA for increasing Touchflo 3D performance. They are modified slightly to reflect the CDMA version.


1.) HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs and changed key Cachesize from 0 to 32768

2.) HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit and changed it from 8192 to 16384

Much zippier overall.

The following reg hack will disable the sound the Dimaond makes when when it boots up or is placed into Airplane Mode:

HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendedFunction\CDMA\FlightModeOnOFF\Sound_on

Change the value from 1 to 0.

I received a replacement Diamond from Sprint yesterday for an issue I was having with the physical buttons (more on that in another thread). I had issues with the new one not recognizing the internal storage, just like the other posts in this thread. I'm not sure if it was like this out of the box, or if this happened when I tried to restore a Sprite Backup to the new device, since the Sprite Backup failed about 1 hour into restoring data to the internal storage card. It was after that, that I tried to, and couldn't see the internal storage anymore. Anyway this is what I did to fix it:

1.) Hard reset -- using the "Clear Storage Only" option in the clear storage utility in System>Settings.
2.) When everything comes back up (after the customizations), I used file explorer to delete the folder called "internal storage".
3.) Connected to PC (running XP SP3), and selected the "Disk Drive" option on the Diamond.
4.) On my PC I went to Start>Run>CMD
5.) In the command window I typed: format D: (which was the drive letter windows had assigned my Diamonds internal storage)

Note: I could not format the internal storage by accessing it through windows explorer. I tried several times & had it fail. The only way to do this was through a command prompt.

So try that & see if it works for you.

Here's some interesting info:

1.) I attached a 256x256 picture to one of my contacts from within the contact application
2.) On the People screen, I clicked the + sign to add a favorite
3.) I selected the contact I wanted to add as a favorite

Back on the People screen, the contact picture looked blurry

4.) I then clicked the Menu soft key and chose Change Picture
5.) I navigated to the location of the same picture from step 1 above.

The picture now looks clear as day. A screwy process, but it works.

If you upgrade to a newer build of Opera, you may no longer have the correct user agent setting that properly identifies your device as a Touch Diamond. The downside of this is that the Sprint Powerdeck page will not properly recognize your device and will not advertise the correct updates for your phone. In order to fix this, do the following:

Open Opera and enter opera:config in the URL bar. Then check your Custom User Agent setting under the user prefs section. Make sure it's set to: "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE; IEMobile 7.11) Sprint MP6950SP" (without the quotes)

Can anyone else verify this I see a ton of memory used, but no real speed increase (I guess I thought it was fast already)
