HTC Touch Diamond ROM update

image HTC have released a firmware update today for the HTC Diamond. It’s for the GSM version only, not any of the CDMA versions available in the US. It fixes quite a few issues with the camera, video playback, audio playback and a few other things, full list after the break with update instructions.

Improved Functions and Fixes

1. When you launch the Camera while the system is working on other programs, the preview screen may become black.

2. When playing a video, sometimes a portion of the video will be cut off a little bit.

3. Fixes Audio playback problem with the speaker. Specific issues: sometimes the music will turn off and on after 10 minutes, or there is a buzzing sound or no sound at all.

4. Fixes the problem of not being able to receive MMS when in standby mode.

5. When launching music via the Music tab on TouchFLO 3D, the sound may intermittently turn off for a second and come back on.
