Hi all,

Does anyone know if T-Mobile has debilitated their version of the HTC Touch Diamond, called the MDA Compact IV by removing Wi-Fi, similar to what they did with MDA Compact III and others before that?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Here’s a video of the T-Mobile variant of the HTC Touch Diamond I was talking about above along with the customised (branded) TouchFlo 3D interface.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhrnATHTlkQ

It really worries me that they might have removed WiFi from their phone, with their unlimited Web & Walk tariffs now, what possible advantage would they have to do this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
If you look closely at the video above when the person goes into the settings menu, you are able to see under the condensed communications menu it does say WiFi.

But this is a pre-production model so it might not be accurate. Also, I noticed on the home screen there was no WiFi active icon on the title bar, but this might be because it wasn’t turned on.

Finally, if you look at the four buttons, they are reversed when compared with the HTC Diamond, the call and answer are at the top on the MDA Compact IV, whereas they are on the bottom on the HTC Touch Diamond.

Now if T-Mobile, have gone as far as switching the position of the buttons, then they might of also requested that WiFi is disabled. Then again, as it was a pre-production model, the buttons on the production version might be in the same place as the HTC version.

So many questions, and no answers!

Hey guys,

i was wondering off to the Tmobile website(dutch version) and the site says that the compact 4 is coming soon!!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Thanks bram_smulders,

I noticed that they don’t mention WiFi anywhere, just Web & Walk. Also notice how the buttons are still the other way round when compared to HTC’s OEM version. I hope someone can give me a definitive answer, but at the moment the signs don’t look good!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TPA:
why no WIFI

With the MDA compac III in NL there was GPS and WIFI on it, so why shouldn't it be on this one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
the uk and probably other places compact 3 has no wifi, wheras the exact same device on o2 in terms of the insides [the orbit 1] has wifi...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
That looks like the whole point to me. If their Web & Walk tariffs are unlimited, and the Touch Diamond has HSDPA, who needs wifi?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Your comment is really quite ignorant.

Wi-Fi has many advantages over 3G and HSDPA in terms of speed, and reliability to name just a few.

Businesses that have WiFi LAN’s and WAN’s setup for sharing their intranet, storage servers, exchange servers, are behind a firewall and cannot be accessed over the internet even using VPN use it with their laptops and mobile devices.

If your device has WiFi and HSDPA then using appropriate software you would be able to make your phone into a mobile WiFi router, and connect a laptop to the internet in an emergency.

At home, WiFi can be used to stream video, audio, share NAS drives, and printers, the list goes on and on.

Additionally, you might live in an area that has no 3G coverage, then you’re stuck with GPRS or nothing, but if you had a wireless router at home, then that’s not a problem.

Finally, if you’re on a legacy tariff or cannot justify the additional £7 per month for Web & Walk as it’s only for occasional use, then WiFi is a free option, assuming you have access to a WiFi network.

Do you want more reasons?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
The people at T-Tobile obviously are ignorant.

But your reasons assume and ignore a lot too:

1. Wifi itself may be fast, but broadband internet connections are not necesarily faster than 3G. Ireland is a good example. Where Rory (daredking) lives is also a good example (and that's in London!).

2. If you work for a business that has such high sceurity, that's your problem. Don't get a T-Mobile phone.

3. You can connect a laptop to the internet via your phone with bluetooth too. Personally, I've never seen it done with wifi - bluetooth and USB connections for that are much more common.

4. At home, again, bluetooth and USB can be used for at least most of those things. If your house is too big, why are you getting a T-Mobile phone?

5. If you live in the middle of nowhere, you're more likely to have a bad broadband connection than lack of 3G (at least in the British Isles).

6. Wifi may be free, but it has very limited coverage. Most people don't spend their lives within a few tens of metres of a wireless router.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
I’m glad we agree that T-Mobile is wrong to disable WiFi, or at least I think that’s what you mean. To answer the rest of your points:

I never said broadband is always faster than 3G I said WiFi is faster that 3G and HSDPA. Never the less in most cases broadband is still faster than 3G, but possibly not HSDPA depending on who your ISP is and what your local exchange supports.

That’s my point exactly I shouldn’t have to be forced away from T-Mobile or forced to by an unsubsidised phone.

Why on earth would you want to connect your laptop over Bluetooth thereby limiting your connection speed to 2Mbps or 1Mbps with 1.0, and limit your range to a few meters. Even that assumes you have Bluetooth on your laptop which may not be the case. To use USB, you got to have your cable with you take out your phone, and have a desk handy to put everything. More info on WiFi to HSDPA router here, once you do it you will never look back at Bluetooth, give it a go! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=341398

LOL I’m not even going to both responding to the comment that if my house is to big I shouldn’t be getting a T-mobile phone! I didn’t know T-mobile was only marketing their phones to people with small houses! All my equipment runs and streams over WiFi, this give me better range, and more bandwidth there is no point or advantage in doing it over Bluetooth.

[/QUOTE]

What’s that got to do with anything? The point I was trying to make is that when available it’s better to use WiFi over 3G. i.e. at home and work I connect over WiFi, anywhere else I use GPRS or 3G.

At the end of the day, it comes down to choice, T-Mobile have chosen to disable WiFi. I and many others who do use WiFi are forced to choose between a subsidised handset from T-Mobile, or moving to a different service provider, or buying an unbranded phone. If T-Mobile didn’t disable the WiFi like O2 and Orange, well then this thread would not exist!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
I actually agree with you totally. Having known Mark (Dark Fire) for 7 years, i argue with him every day, but youve got him beat in my view here. im sure hes going to stab me or something now, but anyways, i think youre right.

On a side note, I dont think they have actually disabled it. If anyone can point me somewhere it says they have done, then please do, but i thought this was a thread firstly asking if they would, then slowly moving on to why tmobile are stupid if they disable it, then onto why it doesnt matter if its disabled.

Anyway, like I said, if somebody can show me somewhere it says it is disabled on the diamond, please do

Rory
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
This could obviously go on for ages. I am not supporting T-Mobile at all - I just said that their flawed reasoning was obvious.

"I’m glad we agree that T-Mobile is wrong to disable WiFi, or at least I think that’s what you mean." - Clearly that's what I mean.

"I never said broadband is always faster than 3G I said WiFi is faster that 3G and HSDPA." - How else is a wireless router going to connect to the internet?

"That’s my point exactly I shouldn’t have to be forced away from T-Mobile or forced to by an unsubsidised phone." - O2 forced me away through their lack of mobile internet. These things happen all of the time. Get used to it.

"Why on earth would you want to connect your laptop over Bluetooth thereby limiting your connection speed to 2Mbps or 1Mbps with 1.0, and limit your range to a few meters." - If you're on your laptop, connecting to the internet via your phone, your phone is obviously going to be within that range. Most servers have such slow connections or are used by so many people that a connection faster than 2Mbps doesn't make a difference (my broadband connection is 13Mbps, and I really don't notice the difference over 2Mbps). BTW, I only have a Touch, so doing wifi stuff with it is a bit pointless.

"I’m not even going to both responding to the comment that if my house is to big I shouldn’t be getting a T-mobile phone!" - You're completely misinterpreting that point, as I knew you would. My point is that most people don't have houses that are so large that the majority of the house is going to be outside bluetooth range - the distances over which I've achieved bluetooth connections have been surprising, and they can also undoubtedly be improved using several techniques.

"The point I was trying to make is that when available it’s better to use WiFi over 3G. i.e. at home and work I connect over WiFi, anywhere else I use GPRS or 3G." - No, you've missed my point again. My point is that, at least in the British Isles (I really don't know about other places), 3G is going to perform better due to lack of good broadband speeds at exchanges and distance from exchanges. As I said before, wifi may be fast, but it's the broadband speed that matters (unless you're accessing the local network, which you will not be most of the time).

Oh, and Rory, you always think I'm beaten, but you know that I kill people on details.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
So on these phones that had wifi disabled, was it a hardware modification or just disabled in software?

I know the usual way to disable Wifi through software is to delete calibration and setup data in the WiFi chip. This can be reinstated if you have a path to direct connect to the wifi chip - either through OS or via baseband.

Was any effort made at all to try to enable wifi in those phones?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
I don't really know, but from the way people have such strong feelings about it, I'd guess that it's a hardware modification. That does seem a bit extreme, but T-Mobile will have their reasons. Personally, I'd say that wifi disabled through software modification is a good feature - it would certainly provide many more hours of fun than having working wifi to begin with.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
it was hardware, much like the disabled gps in the hermes.

disabled wifi by soft would be solved by a rom update

and yes, they tried to fix it [come on, its xda-developers, not xda-users lol]

Rory
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Thats interesting, so they probably completly removed the WiFi chip itself.

I guess you could solder a new one in place, but thats alot of work :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35879&d=1174679272

that pic is of a mda compact III, and shows why theres no wifi, its because the antenna is missing...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Hmm, but you would still be able to enable it (after flashing the right rom/bootloader), but would probably get a really weak signal.

But i guess from that its not just the antenna, but the main chip too. It wouldnt be dificult (costly) in production to run a set of boards without that one chip.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
exactly, but i think tmob prob lost a lot of custom to o2,seeing as msot palces have all the phone shops [at least here in the uk] so its easy enough to walk down the road to an o2 shop and get the exact same phone but with wifi...

so im saying its not gona have crippled wifi...

ill look around for proof :)

having looked for proof, i havet found any, but the tmobile netherlands site doesnt say wifi in specs, btu does say hsdpa, bluetooth 3mp cam and 4gb flash memory.

but....... when paul from modaco "stumbled upon the compact 4 specs at the mobile world congress" it had wifi in the specs

so still inconclusive

I just got my Mi 9 SE and have been playing with it. It updated the MIUI to 10.2. After transferring my settings from the old mobile when I switch this mobile on it emanates a constant sound. Not loud but annoying nevertheless. Have I tweaked something I shouldn't have? Any ideas please?

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Eric214:
Did you try reflashing your stock boot.img Or jsut dirty flash your Stock Rom. just get the full OTA and flash it. If that doesn't work you can always use the Fastboot Rom of the firmware you're on. If you're on 9.5.8 then you must use the Fastboot Rom for 9.5.8. This however will wipe all your internal storage as well and you'll loose any and all files on the phone. If you can still see the phone with your PC I'd backup your files first if that matters to you. If all that fails you should use the MSM Tool.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] sensationvsgalaxy:
thanks, a guy on the the Havoc Thread (where i posted the question first) wrote while I was posting this thread.. It seems my Problem wasn't that bad after all .. One just has to press Volume up AND Volume DOWN at same time .. i was just pressing and holding volume UP (maybe in combination with power button like on the galaxy s9)... Now I see that these OP phones are not so easy to brick.. even after bootloader unlock, root twrp and custom rom (and rom installed wrong way) it still kept the FACTORY ONEPLUS RECOVERY MENU ! Fastboot also works so I can push twrp etc. (same steps I did 1 hour ago after first unlocking it)

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Is your bootloader unlocked or are you using a custom ROM, the official MIUI China ROM or the official MIUI Global Developer ROM? Any one of these will prevent Google Pay from working.

If you are having problems adding a specific card that could be an issue with the issuer. I've had problems adding my Chase card in the past when Chase already thought the card was activated on my phone (so I would never get an activation text from Chase) and also when an internal limit was reached in Chase computers regarding the number of times my card could be added to Google Pay. In both cases other cards worked fine but I needed to contact Chase customer service to get their card to work.

Hey Folks,

I had no Samsung Device for ages but i got a brand new Galaxy S9+ in Gold for a nice Price and couldn't resist anymore. Now is the Question, is the Exynos Variant worth the Bootloader Unlock? I'm a Friend of AOSP / GSI Development and would like to contribute for My Device some Work. But how good is the Treble Support? Are GSIs working fine? Any Bugs or Features that i would miss compared to the locked stock OS? The ONE UI seems to be pretty nice and i'm very happy with My S9+ how it is. But i would also like a OS without all the Samsung Stuff and some Optimizations on top. All Opinions are Welcome!

Edit:

So i just decided to unlock My S9+ Duos and i'm already working on a Stock OS Project (Sadly since AOSP isn't that good rn). Anyways, the Samsung OS is pretty good. I will debloat it hardly and add Google Apps besides some heavy background optimizations on the System. That will be something new for Samsung Users... Stay tuned!

Edit2:

Project will be called GOSP (Galaxy Open Source Patch). Aiming on Debloating Samsungs Firmwares besides adding Google Apps, new Features and optimized System Configurations for better Performance, Quality and Battery Lifetimes. It will be open on GitHub for contributions and everyone is welcome to work with Me on a unified Stock ROM Project for all Galaxy S9 and S10 Variants (Also the coming Ones and Note 9/10 Devices).
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
The First Time that i haven't unlocked my Bootloader right after getting My Device. If no One explains Me the Pro and Cons am i keeping it locked. I don"t trust This Samsung Pseudo Security Stuff aka Knox and Counters... IT's like i said For Years. Samsung is just the better Apple. Can't wait to Hear News about Tizen lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Haxomen:
Not a lot is happening on the AOSP side of things, just a los 16 project that seems to be stable enough for daily use. There are a few very nice stock based roms like soldiers or ambasadii. Go and have a look on the cross development forums. For me personally there are pros, I like my device bloatfree and my kernel modified for my usage. But the cons are that there is not a big community (strange for a newer Samsung device.......), not much treble sGSI support at all, and a very small chance of getting a large number of different AOSP roms in the near future. Hope I helped
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
I'm wondering how [MENTION=1915408]phhusson[/MENTION] is working with Treble since he made various patches on his AOSP GSI Development. Do we use Stock Vendors with the GSIs? Hows the Pie Status? Many GSIs are out there who get many Updates over the Time including Phhussons Changes on the AOSP Base so i would push My Efforts in this Direction...

I've read that Hardware composing isn't working and that the Iris Scan isn't implented in AOSP. Is there anything besides that left? It looked to me that Phhusson fixed most of the Issues so far!? I'm really about to unlock My Baby... (Still hate Exynos lol)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Haxomen:
I dont know how he is working, but sGSIs for out device are crap, and that is a good way to say it. There is no thread for the new LOS 16, but the HWC bug is solved in the new builds. Yeah the issues are fixed but the stability, battery life and other things are bad for my taste
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
I'm really sad that i can't get a Snapdragon Samsung Device in Germany but i Think ill unlock the Bootloader, make a Backup and try out some Things. Stock seems to be Very Good actually. Maybe do i something in that Direction Again. But also possible that i work on Treble... I just need a Day or Two to decide that.

Shouldn't hurt to start a new Project for such unbeloved Device. The Overall Hardware i Superb. But i never worked with Exynos. That will be a intersting Trip...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
Alright, i will do a Stock Project aiming on Debloating the Samsung Stuff out of Stock Devices and optimizing of the overall System Quality. Or how i call it: "Patching".

Required will be a Stock Samsung OS or ROM and My Patch does the Rest. Included will be also new and hidden Features and a Google like Expierence with essential System Apps from Google. Think i will use My last AROMA Utility for it which includes AROMA File Manager and other Goodies...

Can't wait to see what i can unleash on Samsung Devices..
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
