[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Bob_eponge:
[B]Test Android Diamond[/B]

Hi, I am following this thread for some time now, but I haven't posted yet.

Firstly, excuse me for my English (I am Corsican / French)

Here is my quick report using last updated phh & leobaillard's files.

My config :

I am in France using SFR network with a "illimythic 3g" subscription (not "full internet" i.e. no data connection -> i use WAP )

Windows Mobile :

Version de Rom : 1.93.406.1 FRE

Date de Rom : 07 October 2008

Radio : 1.00.25.05

Version prot. : 52.29.25.12H

Model Pocket PC : DIAM 100 (HTC Touch Diamond "P3700")

Also is there a best WM ROM to be using?

Android config :

Android-Donut-htclinux-15-11-09.7z (found there http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/AllInOne/)

With build-update_donut-1.6_22-11-09.7z (found there http://www.cobaltcode.com/fileupload/data/Android/BuildUpdates/ )

I extract/copy all of these files of Android-Donut-htclinux-15-11-09.7z to the ROOT of the Internal Storage of my Diamond.

Then I extract build-update_donut-1.6_22-11-09.7z and replace folders and files in the build-update_donut-1.6_22-11-09.7z

I replace the startup.txt by the diamond.txt found in the folder "startups"

I have disabled Code PIN under Windows Mobile. Wifi and BT turned off under Windows Mobile.

My First Boot :

Haret Boot : 60 s to the logo "Android"

Total : 1 min 30 to the desktop

Configuration of the APN in mobile networks. : no problem (SFR France)

Configuration of the gmail count : no problem

Second boot and others :

50 s to the logo

total : 1 min 20

General :

My DPAD buttons work fine.

Back lights are lighting when I press a DPAD button.

Touchscreen is usable

Stylus works fine

Interface is responsive and very fast

Calls : work fine

SMS: I can not send any sms, but i can receive them.

I solved this SMS issue with SMS Sending procedure found at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=RaphaelDonut

Others procedures here and here not tested...)

Now, SMS Sending is possible.

Sound works

Bluetooth headset : not tested

Accelerometer does not work : landscape/keyboard does not work. I can't get portrait keyboard in apps. No matter with this issue for me.

Wifi :

- first test : failure. Immediatly after, second test : Detects networks. i am able to connect to my home wifi WPA2 network (DSL Orange / Modem Olitec)

- it remembers passwords.

- Android Market works fine with Wifi on. Downloading and installing free applications work fine.

Applications :

- Google Map with Wifi On : Works fine. No GPS location.

- Google Map / Wifi Off : works fine. No GPS

- Gmail : works fine

- Browser works fine (Wifi On and Wifi Off)

Power Management : when I plug charger it charges battery even if it wasn't connected during boot.

Battery life : I havent done any extensive battery life tests, but standby time for me is around 11 hours (no call, no sms, no wifi)

Shutdown works.

Bugs :

First bug

, that happened one times : I was charging with USB, android was sleeping, and i unplugged my phone from USB: it blocked android, homescreen was locked and i could not unlock the screen.

It feels like no key was maped. I have then to reset the phone (removing battery).

Second bug

:

Is it possible to turn of the 3G connection?

i found the "use only 2G networks" thing but if i click on it the check appears but when i look again after 10 seconds it is gone...

Last bug

:

Bluetooth connection

to PC or to another phone (HTC Magic - Android 1.6)

BT enables on PC, DIAM 100 and HTC Magic.

PC with Windows XP can see HTC Magic and can connect together.

HTC Magic can see PC with XP and PC with Ubuntu and connect together.

PC and Magic can not see DIAM 100.

DIAM 100 can see PC with Ubuntu and HTC Magic, but error immediately after entering PIN. No connection.

DIAM 100 can not see PC with Windows XP...

In conclusion, great release that works fine, with little bugs...

HUGE thanks to the developers ! Great job!
