[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tomchap:
Couldnt agree with you more FiredUp.

Im trying to put myself in other peoples shoes. I got my phone subsidised through a contract so I didnt pay the full £400+ for the phone.

Come to think of it I dont think id ever pay that for a phone. (yeah ive paid £300 for a phone but I learnt from my mistakes...neonode n1! great at the time just didnt do much!)

To think that I did however pay that price for the phone im not sure its worth it. Its hard to get my head around!

Ive always had Windows Mobile phones and there have always been problems with them. Thanks to sites like XDA Devs the problems tend to get fixed, its like the guys on the forums here are doing HTC and MS's job of fixing the OS and Dodgy Rom Builds.

I still maintain that my Diamond is ok tho. Fair enough you put the Audio Booster on and then the next time you plug your headphones in the bass has gone (I agree you wouldnt expect that on a premium phone)

But for me, in my situation, i didnt pay alot for the phone, and the all the plus points out weigh the minus ones.

I do however hope you guys who are getting problems out there that are really affecting how you use and feel about the phone, that they are addressed and fixed. Lets hope HTC do release a ROM update soon, to help fix the problems.

Its all well and good releasing a phone with a few problems but its how this is dealt with that will keep people coming back. There are usually teething problems with all phones that are released but HTC have been doing this for years now.

Could this be where HTC learn their lesson and they are actually reading the forums on here and taking note?

Mmm! I wonder...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] czbird:
It's all about the personal preferences. Diamond was not my first MDA, and definitely I can declare myself experienced WM user. Until now, I never had to return the device I'd bought. But the level of disappointment with Diamond was just too high. I'm was not happy with it at all. Yes, I have enjoyed all the little extras like light-sensor, g-sensor, fast connections, superb design etc. But this comes all to vain, when the overall performance sucks. Maybe I had a faulty piece, maybe not, I certainly don't have time to have it replaced and start all over hoping for things getting better thist time.

1) Believe me, the device IS SLOW in comparsion with devices with Intel XScale inside.

2) The baterry drain is catastrophical (I couldn't get more than 8 hours from it).

3) Buttons are laggy, even if you set the keyboard delays to minimum in the CPL, the responses are still slow. Or another experience, when I was very quickly pressing the down button in Start menu and then released it, the focus on the screen was still moving :-O

4) The device gets hot when under heavy load (now this is unacceptable and points to inadequate processor cooling or the hw-design).

5) In all ROM's I have experienced various weird problems that definitely should have not been present in the final rom (like very slow AS connection, for example).

6) I have turned off everything that I could, so don't bother teaching about turning off TF3D etc, I had 63MB free RAM after reboot...

7) It ws not me complaining abot the bigger fonts (I had mine adjusted).

8) The styus was too short for me and I was constantly afraid that having to push harder on the LCD (yes, I had it re-calibrated), I would eventually break it. My whole bad feeling about the LCD responses is probably caused by different method it was made.

9) In IGo8, when trying to move (sliding the finger) the map in 3D, the result was a slideshow, far far away from the smooth scrolling (even with 3d terrain off and details set to medium)

10) In my opinion, it all comes down to one simple conclusion - chosen CPU is just not fast enough to handle such a device. With this in mind, I will never again buy a quallcom device, before having it tested in stressed conditions.

Yes, the device is very nice, but as long as it does not have immediate responses like my old P535, I pretty much don't care about the rest...

(this is not a flame, I'm just describing the reasons that led me to having the device returned)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cojones:
As the originator of this thread I won't take umbrage at those who have hijacked it to have a moan about the Diamond, nor will I take objection to those who make derogatory comments about posters on it. XDA-Developers is one of the best fora (plural of forum, look it up) on the internet. I have found valuable information on here for years which has enabled me to reacquaint my relationship with HTC for the Diamond.

Whilst my initial post may have been terse, this is due to the disappointment at paying £400 for a phone which looks fantastic but doesn't back that up with function.

Remember this is a forum, a place for discussion (again, look it up) and this is why I posted...to take advantage of those whose knowledge surpasses mine, and to invite comment, discussion and advice.

On the back of advice from others I have made necessary adjustments to my Diamond to make the device usable (at least until the Xperia is available ;)) which means that I do not use Google Maps, auto attach GPRS, use 3G or the TouchFlo - all things I'd expect the device to excel at. Now my Diamond works for more than 8 hours without a charge.

For those who just want to rant, please have the decency to start your own threads and not seize the opportunity to infect others', it is cowardly and shows no respect - and that goes to all those of you who will now respond to this post with unintelligent and unhelpful replies.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
WTF are you on about exactly??..do you actually own the phone??. Fair enough the phone does have its own share of problems but if you used your brain and applied the tweaks in the tweaks thread..the phone becomes much more better.

My only issues with the phone so far is the battery, its rubbish for a device that has so much power. The second issue i have is the massive memory leakage over time...nothing that a re-start wont solve but its still a pain to turn the phone on and off every so often. Other than that its perfect for my needs...i dont think the Xperia X1 is going to be any better as the software is still going to be WM6.1 and thats where most of the problems arise with the Diamond...M$ and their **** arsed way of making a mobile operating system...saying that symbian wasnt that much better either lol...the SE p series were pretty dire to say the least and ive owned every single one of them.

The best phone ive had recently would be my Nokia N95 8gb which i sold...i miss that phone quite a bit as it did what it said on the box. But then its a phone..not a pda/phone which is completely different.

Fair enough you dont like the Diamond, not everyone will but for me...this is the first WM device that ive owned that i can actually say its half decent...and having xda for support just makes it even better...so many new roms out there now for the Diamond. I'll probably re-flash my rom to the new TLR 1.37 rom later tonight.

All in all i think its a pretty neat and great device...of course its not going to be perfect..whether you blame M$ or HTC is neither here or there. Id suggest people to take some time, read the threads in here...like i did then make up your mind about whether to buy or not. Even with all the bad stories about the Diamond...still i went and bought one but mine was a proper UK spec Diamond rather than a grey import ie Hong Kong/Asian version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] raphaelc:
yeah but £400 for one might just feal like £4 for another, and £4000 for someone else :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] firedup:
Yeah I sort of know what you mean but its still about value for money, the last time I checked, £400 was still worth £400. Would you pay £400 for a loaf of bread for example? Or even £400 for a loaf of bread that claimed to be amazing but turned out it tasted like ****?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] andrewloh:
Go Sony X1, if you think 29MB is enough for program :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
Personally i think the Xperia X1 will be just as bad if not worse for memory leakage. Your pics are similar to what i had late last night...but a re-start sorted that out....just means that ill be turning the phone on and off at least once a day to sort otu the memory leakage unless they put out a rom that rectifies that problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] firedup:
You got the X1?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Peio64:
Those screenshots are from obsolete prototype, X1's whitepaper has been revised, the X1 will have 256mb of RAM
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Harts@J:
Is the SonyEricsson Xperia X1 something more than a SE branded Touch Pro? It's their first WM phone and it is made by HTC. The interface doesn't look like TouchFLO 3D, but it must be very similar.

I don't understand at all, why SonyEricsson is jumping in the WM bandwagon? Ok, if X1 is a success, Sony is going to buy HTC, SonyEricsson has not money enough, but Sony has. Lot of questions, no answers. :confused: :eek:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JanDaMan:
lol do NOT have high hopes for the X1 lol, it will be much much more buggy and laggey than even the first ROM editions of the Diamond, and you can quote me on that when the X1 comes out. i have had many Sony Ericsson phones, and their normal phones are good, but there smart phones... thats a different story so buggy and quirky... i jjust got rid of my P1i, which i did have a fondness for, BUT it is nothing compared to HTC devices, it had way 2many firmware issues that were never solved, and that was with UIQ 3! lol, the X1 will be there first attempt at a windows mobile device, and i just don't trust that them with it... its also had way too much hype, the upcoming touch pro will be a MUCH better buy IMO. but w8 n c i guess

P.S. the only real issue i have had with my diamond is the battery life, and with the new extend life batteries (~1350Maph) on the horizon that too will be a thing of the past
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] badaas:
hmm, but wasnt the X1 touted before the Diamond? and it still isnt out yet. Plus, the X1 is sony's only WM device they are currently working on. unlike HTC , who have already released the diamond and are planning on the Pro already!! lol, i think this says more FOR sony than HTC, imo. and agreed their smartphones were dodge, esp. the W960i BUT this was Symbian, and Symbian is the reason they have come to WM, as they werent happy with the Symbian OS, at least Sony have admitted and changed over, HTC? .. well, from what i'm reading, unless your diehard fan to reflash your ROM everyday,then the Diamond isnt out-the-box happiness.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Syphon Filter:
you guys know the Xperia is made by HTC right? And that most of the rom development etc will probably be done by them anyway?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
many companys have others produce their hardware for them

some make the design themselfs and just have the oem company do the asm

others buy a product from the oem and slap their own label on

how much of each hold true for x1 time will tell

if sonyE did everything and just had htc asm it it could result in many first attempt teething issues for the device

but on the other hand if they had htc do everything it will have some of the same issues that htc got
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] chalid:
I think this is the reason why the SE WM smartphone X1 will not fail. SE did bring UIQ based smartphones which weren't very successful. They didnt even manage to get the P990i working properly. The other UIQ phones had some issues too which werent solved. I think SE wont risk anything with the X1, because if this has major flaws, ppl wont buy any SE smartphones anymore. So lets keep the hopes up ... ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
People seem to be forgetting that its actually WM thats caused and is causing alot of problems. So in regards to the Sony Xperia X1...i dont have high hopes for that either mainly because the underying o/s is still WM...SE dont produce WM its M$ that does...so HTC will make the unit ie hardware and SE will try and put WM right but honestly i think its going to be one buggy unit...if it isnt then ill eat my words but thats what i think to be honest.

Saying that though ill still get one and see what its like...it would be an absolute godsend if it was perfect out of the box...then id have no qualms about getting rid of the Diamond...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pureawe:
I want the Diamond :) How much do you want for her.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JanDaMan:
lol your logic makes no sense man, i dont want to start an argument, because i guess its down to personal opinion. But what your saying is that because this is Sony's first WM device, and that they have no experience with it at all, it is a GOOD thing compared with HTC who have made countless WM devices and have know many of the flaws / bugs / how to make it work... (you seem to ignore the fact that SE release like 10 non-smartphones an hour lol) And you also say that the X1 was touted before the diamond but is still not released... thats again not a good thing! Sony have pushed the date back etc probably cos they are having problems with getting the device to work well. I will eat my Diamond if the X1 is not buggy as hell out of the box, and whats worse is that form previous experiences Sony never really fix those bugs either... you can buy it if you want (and let us know what its like) but im gonna steer clear lol. and yeah it is built by HTC but im guessing the software is all sony... hence it issue (im sure the hardware will be fine) - and this is coming form a guy that actually likes SE!! so im not just hating on them (love there phone cameras... lol) i also dont think that panels interface idea is not that gr8, i prefer TF3D.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mr_Ray:
Plus have you actually seen the keyboard on the X1? THAT cannot be taken seriously.

I'm pretty sure that HTC have put it there as a practical joke on SE.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dani31:
X1 will be the first WVGA (800x480) device, so:

+ it is not a re-branded TouchPro

+ it will display web pages in native resolution

- it may be even slower, as it uses the same chipset

As for Diamond, well... I don't have it. I would like to have it, but I think I will skip this new generation of smartphones I look directly for WM7 or Android devices, early in 2009.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] ordermystuff:
I accidentally deleted some pictures from internal memory today while trying to transfer them to my PC laptop. I read that the only way to recover them is to root your phone and then try some of the various photo/file recovery programs you can find on the internet such as PhotoRec. I was once pretty tech savvy but not anymore. I searched around the threads on this site for how-to but am not sure... Can anyone point to a thread for idiots like me to try?

Once I root my phone and hopefully recover the pictures, is there anyway to return the phone back into it's original state (or is that not worth it?).

Thanks in advance

This post is what is exactly wrong. The ROM developers get nothing out of this activity. OnePlus has provided upgrades till Android M(?), Shims are needed to make the camera compatible with Android Q. Please wait for the update or buy a new phone ffs or ... take up ROM development.

Hi,

Since the update to one ui 2.0, i have a permanent black bar where the navigation buttons usually go,(i used gestures btw).

Its like the black bar you get under the keyboard which i have turned off, but still just get an empty black bar at the bottom of my screen now.

I've drawn round it in red to show what I'm on about in the attached picture.

Is anyone else having this issue and how i do i remove it.

Hi everybody!

I bought a powerbank with wireless charging function (interstep 10DQi). I put the phone on charge. After 30 minutes, I took it off and it turned off. Now you can't turn it on. Turn on only if put it back on the wireless charger or connect to wire.

Did you buy it from Google or 3rd party? I'm completely ignorant when it comes to foreign purchases and their limitations.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
I agree with [MENTION=1230317]krabman[/MENTION] ... if the phone is BL unlocked. Fastboot flash the full factory image (not OTA) allowing it to wipe data. If you cannot unlock the bootloader for some reason (oem unlocking toggle is grayed out in dev settings) then try a rescue OTA, which is flashing the full OTA image in recovery via adb. Instructions on how to do this are on the same page as the OTA images. You're not going to get anywhere with Google with a 3rd party purchased phone in an unsupported country.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] pctechdroid:
Why would you buy the phone from a 3rd party knowing that you may not get any support from Google for it?

Why would you use a charger that isn't certified with QI charging which the phone supports?

Sorry I do feel bad that you are having this issue but to me it sounds like you didn't do you research and broke your own phone.
