Ok, iv got both the Iphone 3G and HTC Diamond

Bacially the iphone, hardware wise is nothing compared to diamond, the diamond trully obliterates the iphone in terms of the camera, data speeds and so on,

however,

the iphone is more UI concerned, it looks great, and the UI is so user freindly that even my grandad can use it.

The diamond can get annoying at times because it is laggy unlike the iphone, but if your someone who enjoys customisation the the diamond is for you, With winodws mobiles you basically customise and use the device the way you want without the many restrictions imposed by apple e.g. not being able to send files over bluetooth and so on.

If you want a feature packed phone, that can be dificult to use unless you have the know how then go for the diamond

if you want a good looking device thats really really simple to use go for the iphone.

HTC Diamond:

Pros: Many features, and great hardware

Cons: Laggy interface and yes very bad battery life even with tweaks

Iphone 3G:

Pros: Great interface, very easy and user freindly UI

Cons: Not as revolutionary as apple claims it to be, has many restrictions.

Apple simply done a great job marketing the iphone, and made the greater consumers aware of touch screen smartphones, and certain iphone fanboys tend to think that windows mobile are attempting to clone the iphone, which is not true at all, windows mobile had iphone features long before the iphone even existed, its just know one knew about it as it was aimed more towards business users and not the general population. One thing Apple has done really well is demonstrate how well a good looking phone with a great UI can do, and now slowly but surly windows mobile will no doubt also achieve a great UI, thats how competition works and thats how technology progresses.

So in conclusion, get the iphone if you like super pretty bimbo models that you just wana ....

or get windows mobiles, if you like fat chicks with inteligence

personally the iphones more of use for a month and get bored phone for me

whole windows mobile is more of a phone that i use on the long term.

Hope my very long boring advice helps.

All I can say:

Second best they are!

I used my girlfriends iphone, and im sorry the thing is way to limited your, "tweaking power" is down to nothing. Im sure that most persons that own this cliche fruitphone would be completely lost anywhere outside of that tighty controlled Apple universe.

Are you guys aware of the gorgeousness of flashing basically what ever you want, and the incredible amount of software for winmob??

I think thats more than enough.

Besides the fruityphone looks like s**t compared to the Diamond.;)

Luck felllasssssss::D

so the iPhone 3G doesn't have pure GPS huh... using AGPS isn't going to work out of cellular coverage like if you're stuck in the jungle or in the middle of an ocean and need to find the way home.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Monty Burns:
For me its not dificult:

hard as it may seem I actually use MS Windows phones for what they were intended - business.

Tell me if I can do this in a meeting with an Iphone -

take notes in a Word document and then email those minutes/notes out to all the people in the meeting as i'm walking out?

Sure, i can do the emailing but I can't do the word/excel editing. You'd be amazed that how many people have been impressed with my ability to create these notes and send them out before we are all back to our desks/offices. :D

It's simple. An Iphone is a great CONSUMER phone.... a Diamond is a business phone (although the pro will be better with its keyboard) that happens to be really good as a consumer phone.

I only wish the diamond had a VGA/TV out like my G900 has... it sucks having to take my laptop to run presentations on a projector when I know my older phone could easily. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Monty Burns:
No, AGPS gets a signal roughly to 1800meters to 1100meters or so. THis is quick and dirty and is used whilst your "proper" gps gets a signal. With Agps you can also download files which detail the satelites and locations at current time which also helps lock. It will work fine in the amazon, no diferent to our AGPS ....

The Iphone doesn't have proper PUSH email. It uses IMAP thats polled every one minute, giving the illusion of push email .... but its not. Also, Apple screwed this up royaly and have managed to lose lots of people contacts and diary entries!!!!! That would be murder time for me! :mad:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ehe12:
I dont have the iphone 3G,but I do have Iphone 2G and HTC diamond. as a comparison here is my opinion:

1. battery life(wifi off, blue tooth off, normal standby, 3-5 calls a day with 5-10 texts): Iphone 2G, 3days after a full charge. HTC diamond: 2-3days.

2. speed: Iphone 2G, incredibly fast, nomatter what program u launch. the touch screen feels like and u dont have to press hard, just touch it gently and always get sensitive reaction. very fast in power on and off.

HTC diamond, well if you turn on touch flo, the speed will reduce quite a lot. the screen touch operation doesn't feel that smooth as iphone 2G. sometimes you really need to poke hard to get it reacted. if touch flo turned off the speed runs satisfying. program launches very fast.I tried tomtom 7 with european map (1.8G), address searching speed is still amazing. power on speed is slower than iphone but power off speed is nearly the same.

display quality: both fantastic. even obsessive people cannot pick anything wrong.

too sum up, i think iphone is really a great one, very easy to use, very comfortable to use. HTC diamond, very nice look, but terrible design of hard keys. to be honest i really hate the hard key design. the 4 direction keys feels terrible. there's no start key, no OK key, even no a shutter key for the camera! when you use the camera you will find out how important the shutter key is...but still, diamond is a great product with full function (GPS, bluetooth, wifi).

I would recommand you to have both, cause they are different design styles.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] -=Dennis=-:
I have a Diamond myself, I saw the iphone, great piece of hardware. But I would rather have a diamond, why? I love to tweak the diamond to my own needs. Since I received it I spend so many days just to tweak it, and I love it. In case of 99% of the problems, there is a solution especially found on this type of forums.

But when I would be looking for a phone that I can take out of the box and use it directly without tweaking too much I would surely take the Iphone. But in my case I probally would be irritated by a stupid menu that doesn't work the way I want it and I wouldn't be able to tweak it the way I would have liked it to be.

Hi,

For some reason i cant change my caller-ID. It keeps giving me "Network or Simcard error" when i navigate to the setting. I tried different simcards and they all gave the same error, i also swapped out the same simcard in my Mix 3 i'm able to change the Caller-ID perfectly fine. Already tried different ROMS (stock, xiaomi.eu, PE) but its not working on all of them.

Does anyone have the same issue and know how to solve it?
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] lorddemon66:
Is there anyone who wants to test if they succeed in changing the Caller-ID on this device? I already found multiple persons with the same issue and i'm wondering if its a hardware failure or some kind of firmware bug.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] yaro666:
Changed ID to hidden and it works as it should. I use MIUI 11.0.1 global and Polish provider with 2 Sims

I think it could be provider related.

Try to hide your number manually with code - your provider must have codes for different services

Hi

Ive just ordered a A70 and was wondering what should i do and not do ie update etc?

Im wondering should i root or stay stock

But i do fancy installing LineageOS but do i need to root to install

Also will rooting void my warranty?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SkylinesHD:
I would wait till the android 10 update comes out, before you root.

It comes out in april.

And yes, rooting will 100% void your warranty forever.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] bornnslippy:
Do I need to root to install LineageOS
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SkylinesHD:
No, you don't need to root.

But you need to have a custom recovery installed like TWRP.

(Would not recommend tho, to install a custom rom, because of the bugs. It's pretty unstable right now.)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] bornnslippy:
Ok thanks
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] dj69holland:
i personally like rooting all my phones i get.

but due to the lack of many custom roms, i first just used my phone as it is - stock.. see if i liked it like that and it was actually perfectly ok.

however after a few weeks i needed some extra volume boost with Android Auto, so i rooted to solely use Viper4Android.

my advice try stock for awhile see if you like it, if tou desperately need a rooted app then root.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] deloj:
I got a stupid question... will rooting my a70 prevent me from updates?

Hello, I used to be big on flashing custom ROMs until verizon locked everything up. I am planning to get an unlocked phone (so i can unlock the booloader) and a new carrier so I can get back into it. Any suggestions on phone brand and model and carrier? I want the largest screen I can get.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
You can start here > https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

Most ROMs are lineage based

As far as Carrier are concerned, I'm an ATT customer. But I have no problems using TMobile or any of the many spin offs from them both.

I recommend these because their GSM carrier's and most all unlocked phones work with them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tigerevo:
I want to get an unlocked phone soon . Look up Game of Roms on YouTube. He shows new Roms. It's usually a pixel or redmi phone . Be sure your phone is treble enabled and you can install the gsi can . I believe that's generic system image , and you can install on your phone.

I came across this dxomark test result on the mate 30 pro 5G variant https://www.dxomark.com/huawei-mate-30-pro-5g-camera-review/ . The score is higher than the 4G variant https://www.dxomark.com/huawei-mate-30-pro-camera-review/ , which i assume is the same setup but must be the stock camera app which results in the improvement of the score specially the night shots scores.

Is there a way to get the camera app from 5G variant to the 4G or is it totally different setup?
[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] iron1050:
The 5G is probably a better one. Like the s10+ and the s10+ 5G. The 5G variant is probably the best
[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] drzewoid:
I don't see big difference. Only color saturation is higher, but overall quality is the same. Ultra wide photos looks worse.
[Huawei Mate 30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rcky844:
The 5G one as far as i know is better for the long run. It can be used for a bit longer then the 4G one as you know.

The CPU is a bit faster the the normal one btw.

hi all

couldn't find information about this using google or searching here.

Useful stuff i've found:

wiki. tizen .org/Porting_Guide/Tizen_Bootup_Overview (no information about signing or checksums) [remove whitespaces]

I was wondering:

1. Can I simply flash anything via Odin and it will still boot or is there some signing going on? maybe just some "custom" packing?

2. Has any1 built tizen "from scratch" using their repos (?

3. Are there more information about the bootloader(s)? do they use u-boot? (saw that in their git repo)

Thanks a lot in advance!

WEAR OS

if it was done on the gear s, why isn't it possible to do with the galaxy watch or any others for that matter? I would rather have Wear OS instead of Tizen because of the universal capability to use on multiple platforms, plus the convenience of a plethora of apps.
