It also picks up the folder.jpg file so if you keep that in each album's folder, you'll have all your album art.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DilbertZG:
Not work for me...

I'm putting my music into folders divided to Artist and in each artist folder there are folders with albums and music.

For example:

\Internal Storage\Music\Dream Theater\Falling Into Infinity\files.mp3

and for cover art:

\Internal Storage\Music\Dream Theater\Falling Into Infinity\Falling Into Infinity.jpg

But no covers. :(

What I'm doing wrong?

I don't want to put all my music into one folder! And all mp3 tags in files are OK.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pedmond:
OK, after a lot of experimentation, these are the steps that work perfectly for me.

Open WMP

Select all songs in the album, then right click -> Find Album Info

Select the appropriate information; this will define the album art

Select Sync and drag the album there

Synchronize

Reset Diamond

Voila - your album should be on the phone, with the album art as well.

Good luck!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DilbertZG:
Thanks, but I don't want use WMP for managing my music files. I'm looking for simple solution, without playlist, just to put files to any place i want, put jpg file with album cover and that is it. Just copy/paste. Without syncing with WMP and all other crap players.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Menneisyys:
You haven't bothered reading the Sticky thread on reading my articles before asking questions, have you? I've answered your q at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=415063 , which is also a sticky thread...

All in all, create a Folder.jpg and that's all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Menneisyys:
You don't need to sycn with the desktop WMP to have album art either - simple file copy will make sure it's transferred to the handset. Again, I recommend my dedicated bible.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Menneisyys:
You could have saved the time spent on experimenting by just reading my dedicated bible :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pedmond:
Quite a comprehensive article that is... Thank you.

The most important step after copying the files is RESET! For some deep reason, it won't update all the images if you don't do that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DilbertZG:
Thank you, but i Know everything about ripping music and appopriate tagging. No problem with that.

The most confusing thing for me here was renaming that art image to "folder.jpg". This is confusinf, a named that file like name of the album folder and I see now that names must be exactly "folder.jpg". After renaming and soft-reset, everything is works fine.

Thanks again.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Menneisyys:
Yup, it's a naming convention with WMP. For example, LCG Jukebox uses another naming convention incompatible with that of WMP.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] BloodyCkickenSoup:
Hm, I myself had some issues with album art. Not that it aint possible to listen to music without those, but thats not the reason we all bought us a diamond an ruined guarantee within the first 5 minutes.

To the Point: I found many ways in this forum to get my arts to display, but what i did not find is the following:

If you use the covers within the mp3tag (I tagged all of my mp3s with mp3tag) my diamond will show them immediately. BUT ONLY if the tags are ID3v2.3 ISO 8859-1 or ID3v2.3 UTF 16. It will not show on ID3v2.4 UTF 8 or any other non-conform ID Tag.

So if you have tagged your mp3s correctly, theres no need to sync playlists or whatever. Just copy the mp3s to your internal memory, go to the player tab in TF3D and voila, there they are, via a ~htc.cover.jpg or something like that. A soft-reset is unneccessary as well.

Im using Bepes German Rom 0.97_fixed btw.

[Realme X2 Real Life Review] narshi shukla:
My recent phones i.e realme 3 pro and 5 pro had relatively bad indoor cellular strength, internet speed was lower than other devices indoor but was fine on outdoor.

Thanks realme fixed this in x2.

Excellent strength both indoor and outdoor.

Edit: i talked to customer support and got to know that none of realme phones supports carrier aggregation (4g+),in my locality indoor receptions is low so 4g+ is a must here, as realme phones don't support it, indoor reception is really poor and slower internet speed.

I think I will be trying to enable it with tools from xda, as this chip supports it, but maybe or maybe not our devices lacks required antenna.
[Realme X2 Real Life Review] niaj_3.0:
Indoor receptions have some issues.

Very slow internet speed indoors sometimes untill you put the phone on and off of Airplane mode.

Could definitely be fixed by software updates though.
[Realme X2 Real Life Review] rkd512320:
Same problem with my unit too!

hello,

as you mentioned the problem,its exactly the same with me!

tried speed tests with moto one power with same jio sim and found my X2 is consistently giving about 1.5 times less speed from that phone!

researched a lot and found moto has 2CA and my device even with sd 730g which supports 4CA is giving ****ty results bcz realme doesn't bother enabling it!

if you have any solution please let us know!

thanks
[Realme X2 Real Life Review] Jatinlesner:
Can anyone help I have realme X2 but after software update I am not able to use lte 4g it automatically connects to 2g

Please Help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
OK so now that both have been officially announced, and both will be out in the UK in July, what would you go for and why?

Personally, I iPhone 3G holds a lot of appeal for me, it has resolved all its shortcomings from the original version it’s a tough choice.

For me, the only thing holing me back are: -

1. Support for third party applications, it’s limited at the moment, but will get better over time.

2. A proper satnav application that can make use of the built in GPS (TomTom on the iPhone 3G!)

Please share your thoughts...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Most of the new software features are things that Windows Mobile has done for ages. I'm actually quite pleased with the 3G iPhone - the Touch Diamond has it beaten in key areas for me. These include style, size (apparently it has got bigger, while HTC has managed to make the Touch Diamond smaller than the Touch), handy features and third-party applications.

What shocks me is the way people are reacting to some of the features - Apple seemed to introduce A-GPS as some sort of new innovation, when the Touch Diamond is already out in places, with that very feature...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
If you heard the keynote you'll see that apple will have the phone call home. They also sign every executable. That means 'homebrew' wont really exist.

They said that developers can still make free apps, but they have to be distributed through the apple store. In the end thats not going to make a huge difference and you'll see plenty of apps for the iphone appear very very quickly.

For me the 3g iphone wins in everything except size and screen resolution. The main thing that made me think twice about the diamond was the 3g iphone battery life!

.. to be continued.. not decided yet :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tim 45:
Dark Fire I know what you mean. Apple fan-boys always seem to be impressed when Apple implement something Windows has been doing for years, and this is not just in iPhone but also the Mac OS as well.

For my money I would go with the Touch Diamond anyday. Apple will always have too much control over it for my liking - I mean today people seemed ecstatic that Apple would now allow you to make and buy applications for it!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
True, but you got to admit whatever windows does, osx and linux do about 10 fold faster.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] marisa4755:
Can't buy an iPhone, if you have fingernails, you can't use the keyboard. Useless.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Actually that reminds me... on the iphone you can press a key, and it kind of pops up the letter above your finger. You can slide your finger to another letter if that one is wrong i.e. it only picks the letter when you lift your finger.

Does the HTC keyboard do that at all?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wbaez0320:
Well, as pointless it may be to others, size & weight really matters to me & the Diamond fits perfectly in my hand or pocket can't say that about the iphone the only downside to having that stunning 3.5" screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
No, it doesnt
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SolusCado:
someone1234 - Yes.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
I think I will be sticking with the diamond, and then waiting and seeing what applications come out for the iPhone. I can always move over to it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] oo03sjw:
Would you need to include the Sammy i900 in this comparison? Due about the same time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
cool! thanks.

I think once the 3G iphone is unlockable i'll buy one. For $199 its a bargain. Until then its not worth it - there'll be no decent apps, and what there are will probably cost stupid money.

So I'm decided.. sticking with diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mouseymousey:
Size is the big issue for me. Diamond wins hands down.

In fact, the only point that iPhone wins is in the interface but TouchFlo is not far behind now, after tweaks :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jkr284:
Somehow i think an unlocked iphone 3g is gonna cost a lot more than $200!! more like $300-$350 your forgetting thats $200 plus a maybe 2 year contract!

IMO the diamond has it beat apart from the memory.

Diamond has these over the 3g iphone:

Twice the resolution

video calling

faster browsing

Stereo bluetooth Headphone Support (not confirmed on the 3g iphone)

Picture Messaging (not confirmed on the 3g iphone)

Stylus if prefered

Better Camera

Way More Apps and games for now.

Not restricted to certain providers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dark Fire:
Indeed - 10 fold faster, several years later. That's the main difference these days...

Yes, it definitely does that. The problem with the HTC keyboard is that the letter doesn't appear above the key you're pressing - the key sort of expands, so it's still mostly obscured by your finger. I don't really know why HTC thought that was better...

Exactly my point. The tables have turned - the Touch Diamond has the 3G iPhone out handy-featurised and, if anything, the Touch Diamond slightly wins on specs too.

Also, yeah, I think $199 is with a contract. I was reading that Apple wouldn't let network operators subsidise the iPhone before, but now they will let them do that, hence the much lower price.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blowfish64:
TomTom for iPhone is already in beta testing and should be released shortly after the 3G iPhone hits stores.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] brucewilsonpa:
But.... how about cut/copy/paste -- no mention of them.

For me, after trying two different iphones, I have to say that iphone2 is underwhelming -- we who have WinMo phones have been using the direct push email for more than a year and the volume of apps available (many either free or very inexpensive) tip the balance. I know apple has an advantage in controlling hardware and software-- they can optimize them and we see faster performance (but not always) -- but with WinMo there's both hardware and software that will fit everyone's needs/wants. Speed isn't everything.... and I kind of like the freedom from "mother apple" control (according to current info it will be extremely difficult to jailbreak this system).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] CraZyLiLbOy:
Why you need an apple when there is HTC
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] n2ny:
one thing iPhone 3G got its CHEAP hehehehe
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WorldIRC:
If they can make the diamond fly...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Skele:
Most here says HTC is good, but the voting shows more to apple :p.

HTC Diamond for me all the way
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jorlin:
Yeah... sure... :confused:

You read that you have no choice but to sign a two year contract with a provider? So you can guess that you probably pay about 60-120$/month depending on which plan you choose (and since the provider has to subsidize the phone, it is unlikely to see cheap plans). For two years...

Looking at the offers here in Germany: Getting the HTC Touch Diamond with 70$/month plan (2 years) crops the prize of the Touch Diamond to about 200$...

I guess that is pretty similar.

P.S.: With the HTC you can actually choose your provider...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] stpete111:
Being in the US, the Diamond is not, and probably will not be, available through a carrier. This puts me paying $700 for it. As much as I've been a WinMo guy for the last 7 years, $700 for 4GB vs. $200 for 8GB... come on, give me a break. No-brainer to me. And yes, to get the $200 price for the Iphone, you will definitely have to sign a 2-year contract... but who cares?? Unless a new cellular company emerges from the pits that are the 4 we have to choose from right now, I'm not leaving ATT anytime soon. There's no alternative for a guy like me who MUST have the convenience of SIM technology due to how much I swap phones. Ok, so T-Mobile would be the alternative. NOT!! T-Mobile blows.

Iphone it is for me unless the Diamond hits the states on ATT for $300 or less.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] iainparkes:
I agree. I've been a "Mac" person ever since the see-thru iMac. Since then I've never had owned a PC. I even made my dad get a mac.

The iPhone, firstly, I really wanted. Later I found out that even unlocked when you update the software it came re-lock itself and/or brick! Which has put me off. I'm on Orange UK and was annoyed that they handed over to O2.

Personally the iPhones are running slighty behind the current mobile market so they never seem uptodate or new. I was shocked they release the first iPhone with no 3G, and a 2MP camera!

Hopefully, the iPhone will be released for all networks or sim free, if they did I think they would double sales.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] boinger66:
im pretty sure the US version will be subsidized... OR we wont be gettin a US touch diamond if its not...

Simply put american buyers will not buy a phone for $800

and then the phone simply wont come to america as its not mainstream market

therfor the fact that we are hearing about a US version garuntees it to be subsidized
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] adamz:
Oh yeah, the Touch Diamond is much more stylish than the iPhone. I can't stop looking at the Diamond's screen. The new iPhone looks basically no different than last year. It's on the clearance rack now. The Diamond is a totally hot new style!

why dont u all f***** iphone fanboys leave this in the off-topic area. God'damit. this is the 4th thread some stupid iphone-wana-be prick has opened. if u need so much as a thread to decide which candy bar u wana buy, then u all are pretty much damn retarded....:mad: f***** pricks!!!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Cyrus Kourosh:
I am a WinMob user for several years now.

WM2003 to WM5 to WM6 to WM6.1 is more a service package update than a new operating system.

The WinMob market is in coma state for several year… And except HTC, none of the manufactures puts the market level upwards.

I am really happy that Apple put some pressure on the actual market.

The Iphone, even it is not the Ferrari of the PDAs, It definitely puts new standard on the smartphone market (Multi-touch, a real mobile web browser, a thin and sexy design, finger touch navigation …etc).

I hope that will force WinMo to upgrade their old, really old operating system.

I hope also that Android and Touch screen Symbian S60 come with new Ideas and new standard…

We will be the final winners. :cool:;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Do you have a link or anything to substantiate this information? If you do I would be very interested in having a look.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Hey, I opened this thread, and I am most defiantly not iPhone fanboy, in fact I have never owned any apple product (well apart from my iPod that I won).

I have been working with windows mobile devices back from the original CE days when they were called H/PCs with the HP 300LX to replace my Psion so choose your words carefully. The thread was created and is very relevant, as the HTC Diamond has been heralded as the iPhone killer, which I do believe it is. However, with the announcement of the iPhone 3G, t is no longer as clear cut as most people would like it to be.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
I am the first one to say that I hate Apple and their over controlling nature, for example:

I hate that they insist you use iTunes for everything. I hate that you have to install quick time with iTunes. I hate that if you ever wanted to run the apple operating system (OSX) it has to be on their stupidly overpriced hardware. I hate that all their software for the iPhone will have to be digitally signed. If you really think about it, Apple is much worse than Microsoft when it comes to being a control freak.

I would hate to say this, on principle more than anything else, but I have just found out that the iPhone will be available as pay as you go on O2 in the UK. Price is yet to be confirmed, but anything around £200 for 8GB and £250 for 16GB would be mighty appealing especially if TomTom will be available on the device.

Other things to make it near perfect would be better codec support (DivX, MPEG, OGG, etc), drag and drop support of media files without iTunes. DivX player (CorePlayer), a better calculator (HiCalc), more games, and more freeware...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ayyu3m:
i dont care what u been using all these days or how long u have been arnd. if u had searched u cud have seen many threads like this even in the general forum. so YOU shud carefully search before u start a new thread. and i know damn well ppl are comparing the htc touch diamond with the iPhone 3G. but threads like these have got too many.

anyways to keep ma cool and go along with the topic of this thread, i wud say the xda-developers.com from the time of its creation is proof enuf that windows mobile and its devices is here to stay and that it connects many of us likewise. we have got so many developments going arnd in this forum. not to mention the great custom roms and all the custom programs thats' been made and contributed by all the great members of this great forum. iPhone cud never get near to beat this for years. so in short diamond is my thing. why? cos its got freedom and possibilities that iPhone so much lacks and restricts too. coming to the design wise, why cant apple jus make a new sleek design. are they afraid of loosing the iPone's posh style. yeah. so jus look at the diamond's look, smooth, sexy and sleek look. whew! so i hope u understand brother! and yeah peace back to ya! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] shoong512:
My 2 Cents

My brother has one of the first iphones and I've messed around with it for awhile until I found so many things that I disliked about it which made me go back to an HTC phone.

Reasons:

-Does not support Video Recording or MMS

-Better Bluetooth: it is a disgrace that the iPhone doesn't support A2DP (Stereo

Bluetooth for music connectivity).

-Wireless: some reason apple likes to keep the cords around

-No Voice Dialing

-Wish I can make my own ringtones instead of purchasing through itunes

-copy and paste =D

-An actual keyboard!! (non of that on screen stuff)

Until these are put onto the iphone or what not, HTC is the winner =D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] l3v5y:
Aaah. So many iPhone rants! :D :D

For once though, this could be in a vaguely correct place, as it is relevant to the Diamond, although there are already too many iPhone threads here, so it would be good not to have any more!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
When I created this thread there was only one other on the XDA forum and it was in the off topic area. However I felt that this was the most appropriate sub forum so created a new thread as for Joe Public, their choice will be between an iPhone 3G, the Diamond in its various guises, and the Nokia 8GB at your local retailer. Now since I created this thread, someone else has gone and created another on here. Without active mods or disciplined members you’re not going to be able to prevent this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] imranbashir_uk:
Yeah, pretty much agree with all your comments.

Did I mention how much I hate iTunes!

I just wish it was more open and free to hack (iPhone), for people who like to feel safe and protected they should go and stick with symbian OS. Windows Mobile needs a real competitor, unfortunately I don’t think the iPhone 3G will be it, as its following symbian with its certified apps only policy. Maybe Android, maybe WM7, well all we can do is hope...
