Wow. That's more random knowledge I'm going to quote when the opportune moment arises. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
fair enough. i thought it might give me more of a chance to laugh at chelsea fans.

but where are the cell piconodes on oxford street? like in lampposts or something? and ar they at tottenham court road? because i might look for them when i get my diamond there
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
actually they're disguised in lots of ways. I'm not sure exactly what they use on oxford street but here's a quick google of some strange ones:

anyway now i feel like some wierd train (err mast) spotter lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
wow. now u say about th piconodes, theyre the kinda thing i see on lampposts and think wtf...

lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
haha yeah.. more importantly tho don't try to climb one of those tree's... from your signature you must be young.. u don't wanna be neutered :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Oh, so that's what those things are. I see them quite often, but I could never work out what they were.

That's all of the government conspiracy theories gone then... ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
hehe yeah.. but also look out for small half hexagon kinda shaped things on the side of lamposts.. they're cameras! You see them in dodgy areas.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
nope i dont wana be neutered :P

half hexagon things on lamposts? in london?

im guessing hackney and the like? im sure enfield will get them soon if its dodgy areas..

a pic woud again be good? or their real name?

god we replace one conspiracy theory with another...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
That would destroy the whole point of life...

And I wouldn't be so sure that Enfield will get them. Tottenham makes Enfield look like a model town...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
a friend of mine who does work like that told me about them. They're not everywhere, just some areas - and only on certain streets/dark corners. I guess the amount of video would get rediculous if they had them everywhere.

They have one of those pinhole lenses on them and capture everything happening near the lamp post in great detail, and everything in one direction in progressivly worse detail. I couldnt find a picture online - probably my search terms - but i'll see if he knows the proper name for them.

They are usually in high drug usage areas.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
LOL,

I work in the defence industry and with a lot of active RF sources including electronic counter measure decoys. The stories that I heard when I started working there were enough to go and get some sperm frozen!

Luckily everything still works down there...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
how long before were making software to detect phone taps and bugs in our houses with our diamonds?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ydg:
Still waiting

Well I've just ordered Diamond and the shop said I'll have it middle of June (French version for Switzerland without operator contract). I just hope they'll keep promise !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
When i used to work in GSM, i talked to the guys who work on the BTS's (the radio towers). They have to wear this badge which changes colour when they are exposed to too much radiation and should go on a break. Usually they turn off the entire BTS if anyone is going to work on it (i mean get reallly close to it), but alot of times thats not feasible. This guy was telling me its the best job ever... 10 mins work.. 20 mins rest.. 10 mins work.. 20 mins rest etc. He was sure his internal organs were suffering for it tho.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Already started mate. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
i would never work on those things.

yeah 10 work, 20 rest

but it can make you die

and does that guy have kids?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Detecting taps is not that hard actually if they transmist anything at all.

Blocking transmistion is easy too. Hard wired taps are alot harder to find. But then also much harder to install and keep hidden.

The best tap for a phone line for example is a coupling tap on the line outside. If you stick it somewhere hidden where the cable heads into the dirt, and transmit from there no one will every find it :eek:

It also leaves no trace to the phone audio unlike what u see in some crap movies showing clicks and stuff.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
GSM that’s for girls, We run up to and over 40GHz now that’s what you call full fat! :eek:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Pilots get paid lots because their internal organs suffer damage. Maybe that guy does too...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
cant 40ghz like literally fry you?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
eek.. thats SHF/EHF.. microwave, radar etc.. You wouldn't want to stand near some of those while they're on.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Microwaves. They pop hamsters don't they?

That would definitely damage humans, a lot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
yep cancer time for you......

hey i wonder if they can make like microwave bombs?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Yep or more commonly known as K band
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
I think the American military have already made a microwave weapon thing (it's not a bomb). Oh, and they've made a gay bomb.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
at those frequencies the safe limit at only 5mW/sq cm is 6 minutes exposure. I'm guessing his equipment is ALOT more powerfull than 5mW!

p.s. wow sooo off topic.. u gotta love it lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
i know, and nobody even cares. between us 4 chatting now, we like own 90% of the posts here..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
So true. Maybe HTC will notice and we can become highly-paid PR people who go to different countries every day. Everyone here certainly has enough knowledge for such a job.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Actually RF power decays exponentially with distance, so to cover long distance its either directed e.g scanning radar, or amplified using RF horns so not much use as a weapon, unless at close range.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
actually once - i wont name the company - i bought a phone and was so dissapointed with the reception, i sent them a free RF report (it was what i did at the time). They sent me a free 'beta' of their next 2 devices for comments lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Sorry guys can’t discuss power levels CW, ICW, PRI etc...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Haha. Wow. That's amazing. I may well do that if I encounter problems with my Touch Diamond. But I doubt I will encounter problems. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Yeah, the higher the frequency, the more power you need to get it to travel the same distance as a lower frequency one. A neat link into GSM....

The 900Mhz bands are split into 2 and sold to the first 2 networks in the country. The next two networks get the 1800Mhz range.

But because 1800Mhz requires more towers to cover the same area as the signal doesnt travel as far at the same level at the source 1800Mhz networks are compensated by having a slightly wider frequency range in the spectrum than 900 networks. (1800 networks can't just up the power since power levels are regulated and you might zap the guys closest to the tower).

As a result they use more frequencies in each cell and their call capacity per cell is higher than 900 networks. This balances out the number of towers needed!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rorydaredkign:
damn this is getting serious now.

im already living in fear of the police coming knocking

theyre already probably seeing what im typing now :O

so im going to go before i incriminate myself

:P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Great in cities where populations are densely packed, not so good in rural areas.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
well it still balances out.. in rural areas they use higher power, make the mast higher, and let it cover a much wider area - a macrocell. Again the greater frequency allocation means they need less macrocells in any given area and it balances the frequency side of things out.

anyway.. i should go do some work now!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
I guess this is about as off topic as you can get! talk about going off on a tangent!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Hmm seriously considering ebaying the diamond..................................................:eek:

Subject: Question about HTC Touch Diamond availability

Hello,

I am very interested in purchasing HTC Touch Diamond once it is available. As a matter of fact I would pre-order it if you could answer me how certain you are that you will have them in stock on June 9th? I am asking this because most of the other retailer sites state that they will have it on June 19th.

Also I would like to know is it going to be a retail version with 192 MB and not 128 MB of RAM memory? Will you have that excellent HTC slip case available, also, since it is not included in the box?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jasjamming:
Local EBAY POWER SELLER in Melbourne has 8 available righ now with free postage locally or pickup. He lives 20 mins from my house.

1 year warranty and tax invoice included.

Price: under 1K AU$
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] smack bob:
Nice did you end up getting one from him?? Im seriously considering it. There are cheaper dodgey HK ebay stores but for an Aussie sale with some type of warranty the extra price is probably worth it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rtao:
WWE version turn up 2 days earlier in HK.... just trade-in my old x01ht :):)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jomo25:
So, sorry, with all the conflicting information out there, and with the existence of videos of "pre-production" or "test" units, its hard to know for certain. So, I ask those who have somehow managed to purchase a production unit:

What GSM and UMTS bands are listed in the Phone Settings | Bands page?

Please confirm for us people still trying to decide if it will work for us.

Many Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] walshieau:
i have one, the bands page clearly quotes "850MHZ" but its not, its actually "900mhz", i tried to connect to the 850Mhz network from telstra and no love, i managed to connect to the 900Mhz one from Optus though..
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] shirreer:
Can someone kindly post the PDF User Manual? Thank you in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:

Just got mine today, from ebay uk, a guy in manchester, i drove over and picked it up, it cost me 439 quid but worth every penny. I also justify the price by saying its cheaper than expansys lol. Ill make sure the dog doesnt chew this one like the cruise!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] turt:
In Belgium it's available since this afternoon at Mediamarkt Brussels. I've got mine!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rvbcrs:
Ok, may I ask how much it cost over there at the MedaiMarkt? and do you think it is on sale at all the mediamarkets in Belgium?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] turt:
It costs 549 EUR.

I don't know whether it's available at the others...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sub69:
Got mine today for £475 from Tottenham Court Road.

Bit over the odds, but not as much as Expansys, and I get to play with it straight away.

Already quite impressed, the Kaiser will be on eBay shortly, and if the software keyboard continues to work as well as first impressions suggest, I may not need to upgrade when the Touch Pro comes out...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SolusCado:
Am I the only person in the US that owns a TD?? (Expansys...)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jehlinger:
uhh, no, I've had one since tuesday last week. There are many others in the US who have it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Where!? Which shop? Is it a grey import?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jorlin:
Let us know about your experience :D

I am currently wondering if I should go for the Pro or not... thicker, more ram, flash, keyboard... still tempting. But if do not use the keyboard much and the camera seldomly... there is not real point in getting the pro XD
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] undrwater:
I believe I somehow messed up the fonts on my device running Lineage Pie. Many of the fonts elements are displayed as rectangles.

None of the Magisk or other "font changing" tools I've tried seem to do anything, and most are advertised for Oreo.

I've got root, I'm comfortable using adb and the command line, I just need a pointer where the fonts are located, and where to find a font package that will display all of the characters correctly.

Thanks in advance!
[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] pitrus-:
What if you format only the system partition and reinstall LineageOS, Gapps and Magisk? As the fonts are stored in /system/fonts this should fix it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hhspiny:
Only after the most recent OTA update (July, 2019). completely stock, brand new device. put in already activated Verizon Sim, picks up LTE signal and registers IMS and VoLTE works fine. the only issue I have is that IMS is not registered after rebooting, needs get into airplane more and back to register, but afterwards works fine, even after losing signal. It was NOT the case before, looks like Samsung finally added VoLTE to dual-sim CSC in last June/July updates. the second SIM is Project Fi data only SIM, also works fine and looks like registered IMS, but since it is data only, can't try VoLTE.

I also noticed same in my SM-N960F/DS note 9. stock rom can registered IMS hence VoLTE now. but I keep have problem with SM-N960F where it only picks up LTE signal after rebooting, but not after having lost signal or out of airplane mode. hence decided to try a SM-N9600 instead, and it worked out.

Now I don't have any reason for Note 10 anymore....

Hey guys

Some may have noticed I posted a question about Debranding with Flashtool...

Contrary to all the web Tutorials, yes... it can be done with NewFlasher

Activate USB Debugging.. and plug n USB cable... this installs the ADB Bridge driver

Follow this tutorial to the letter...

https://www.xperiablog.net/2018/01/...-firmware-for-xperia-xz-premium-xz1-and-more/

You need Newflasher v13 and xperiFirm 5.4.0

Remember to install the GordonsGate Drivers

After successful flash, run through setup, then do a software device Repair using XperiaCompanion, then again.. after a quick setup.. goto Settings> System.. and do a Full Reset

And your all set to go...

Any questions, look at the XZPremium XDA forum.. its all on there

Hope this helps someone :)

My brother passed recently. I am in possession of his s9+ and want to either remove the lock screen PIN (preferable) or just retrieve the pictures (if all else fails). This is very important to me. It is a Verizon phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
If the images are stored on an SD card and the card is not encrypted you can just take the SD card out and use it from a computer.

If the phone was configured to backup photos to samsung cloud you can try logging into that using the appropriate credentials. The URL for samsung cloud login is https://support.samsungcloud.com/#/login

If the images are stored on the internal storage you are most likely gonna have too contact samsung for help. I honestly don't know if there is a way to do this considering the phone is unrootable and what your asking is to break/remove the phone's security features.
