Need some help on my sprint diamond. At times the device becomes entirely unresponsive, and then resumes seconds later. This happens often and when I have no programs running (65% free RAM). It is very annoying but I dont think that I experienced this when running the stock rom.

Another issue is that the Disk Drive mode no longer works on my phone, both Vista and XP are not recognizing the 4GB on my phone, but U can still access it using active sync. This is post-internal storage dissapearing issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated; I have tried to a hard rest, and flash different ROMs but with no avail. I am currently using RSTGs ROM. Which is very nice.

my first question for you would be what have yo installed after you flashed the custom rom? i flashed grooverom4 and when i installed a version of quick menu, i got the same kind of lag. so in all possibility, it could be something like that. the best thing to do is to try to pinpoint the exact time it started to happen, and start removing programs that may have caused it. just my 2 cents.

Actually never has a start time, it just hasnt been fixed, def not another program cause it happens even when I had installed no programs. I am starting to think that flashing back to the original stock/shipped rom and then flashing back to the ROM of my choise may fix it. Can this be it??

which rom are you running? the best thing you can do is go to that individual roms page and let them know whats going on. it may be a bug in the rom.

I have tried to flash different ROMs, Mighty, Groove and RSTG. After switching to RSTGs ROM the lagg issue occurs much less frequently but is still a problem.

The missing disk drive feature is a much bigger problem. This phones flash, 2MB per second is easily overhauled by my 16GB MSD at 10MB/s, which I cant use on my phone............ but to use activesync to transfer gigs of files to my phone then out, is impossible.

This is a feature I don't use, I usually transfer smaller files one at a time with activesync. When I get home I'll look into the issue, sounds like it's an issue across many of the roms. In that case I blame M$ and recommend carrying an old fashioned thumb drive.

But I'll still look into this later for everyone...
