Depth sensor, it's used for live view :)

Sweet! Thanks for the reply and merry Christmas! (if you celebrate it anyway)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] antxn_7703:
This is incorrect.

It is in fact the bottom camera, ie the one directly above the flash, that does the Ultra Wide photography.

The one in the middle is the high resolution, normal camera with 32 MP.

The top camera, ie closest to the edge of the phone, does depth measuring. This has a low resolution but has the same zoom percentage as the high resolution camera. It has 5MP.

Dear all,

wish to check if it is possible using Mortscript to do the following:

1) open a file in located in PDA - this file can be sync to PC, read the content and then sms to a certain number.

2) enable charging when battery level is below certain level (<30%) and disable charging when battery is above certain level (>99%)

I am currently running WM6 with MortScript 4.1 installed.

Hi there,

What are my options concerning the jailbreak of my used chromecast which I have bought in the states back in 2013? It has been connected to the tv before so it must have had its updates, I guess. Is it still rootable?

So I was wondering what I can do to get more out of my chromecast.

Thanks in advance!

Regards.
[Google Chromecast] dannyboy_676:
No reactions? Nobody has any clue?
[Google Chromecast] Wisiwyg:
Probably won't get many replies. Google locked down the bootloader early on in the release of the product. You can check out the Eureka thread for options, but if your SN is beyond or your firmware is beyond the 'open' versions, you're pretty much out of luck for root.

Hello, I got the phone 2 weeks ago. One flaw that I found is that when I take a selfie if the background is close it's ok but if the background is far everything is blurred. Is there any way I can make selfies without blurred screen. It doesn't matter if I use portrait mode with no effects or normal photo mode it's still blurred.
[Magisk] BartronPolygon:
Hi,

I've never rooted an Android phone (and am in fact completely unfamiliar with Android) but have acquired a Pixel 3 phone and would like to install Magisk for the purpose of experimenting with jtothe4n's Edge Sense Plus app.

I've perused the Magisk documentation but find it a bit overwhelming. There is a step-by-step tutorial for Pixel 3 phones and Canary Magisk (which I assume also works for stable Magisk now) at Gadgethacks titled "Root Your Pixel 3 on Android 10" (can't pose the URL because I'm a newly-registered user). I'm assuming this tutorial is valid but if there is an alternative, accessible set of instructions I should be following, I would really appreciate it :)

Thank you,

-- B.
[Magisk] ktmom:
Take a look here. It's really quite straightforward.
[Magisk] BartronPolygon:
Thanks. I followed these instructions until step 9 and now I'm in some sort of boot loop. First, a bootloader screen comes up with a warning indicating that the bootloader is unlocked and system integrity can no longer be verified, then the Google logo comes up for a few seconds before cycling back to the bootloader.

This repeats a few times and then I'm left at a white screen with the Google "G" logo and some sort of busy indicator. It won't advance beyond this point.

EDIT: Managed to recover by installing Google's system image again. I guess I will try again but I don't expect success. Has anyone used this tool successfully on the latest Android 10 with a Pixel 3

EDIT 2: Got it working. After the restore, I repeated the process and it worked.
[Magisk] ktmom:
Glad you got it working.

If you are very new to A/B slot devices, you may find it helpful to read up on how seamless updates work and why you need to pay attention to what slot you're booting.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xxxxchrisxxxx:
I am very shortly out of contract and am undecided which phone I want next.

I am definitely a big fan of windows mobile PPC phones and for the last 5 years have had nothing but. It is interesting to see that some friends at work who would have always opted for the latest Nokia gadget (N95 etc.) to start choosing Windows Mobile instead (HTC Touch - ELF) - this is undoubtedly due to the work of HTC making them popular with the Touch-Flo and now the 3D version on the diamond.

This time however it seems that at the same time as the Diamond is being released, the new 3G iPhone is due to be released and I'm stuck which one I want.

I don't use a Mac at all, and never have, although I appreciate how pretty they look - same with the iPhone - it looks great in my opinion.

I like the huge screen of the iPhone and look of it. I definitely like the unlimited data package that comes as part of the deal -although not particularly the 18month contract, but could live with it. BUT - No GPS software such as TomTom for iPhone? 2MP camera?

The touch diamond seems to win hands down on some fronts... loads of free / commercial software for it, including several different GPS sat nav softwares - not just google maps. It also looks great. BUT - battery life? why? it seems to me that this awesome device has one hand tied behind it's back due to a poor battery life.

Anyway....

Does anyone here have both devices and can offer a balanced opinion on how they compare?

Any thoughts on your new Diamond - do you wish you got the iPhone instead? Are you pleased with your new Diamond and wouldn't swap it for anything?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pammoun:
Just got my Diamond 2 days ago.

It is a wow piece !

Ergonomy wise , I have to say that it is much more elegant than the

Iphone. Of course this is a taste thing... I did like the diamond better.

now functionality wise... since my background is programming ,

I must say that with microsoft (windows) , U are in for a lot of pain...

but U have so many options...

Iphone ? Mac OS ????? U have to search and search ..and many times

not find !!!!!

My only pb with my Diamond ?

I havent yet digested that I did "waste" a thousand us dollars on a cell phone !!

good luck on your choice !

my 2cents
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pammoun:
forgot to mention about the battery life...

I know it's been 2 days I have my diamond.. but I am sure that the battery is not very good...

out of my experience... u can't have a nice ppc and a good battery...doesnt exist... especially if u want it stylish....

so my advice ? get a good car charger and every 9 months or so change the battery... it is around 40usd.

Forget the battery...it is not that big of an issue..

I use my phone over 5h per day (only calls !! ) so for me whatever phone I get ... I need a car charger !!!

Apple vs Diamond

I recently bought a edge version jail broker apple iphone for my wife and htc diamond for myself.

Interface - I think touchflo 3d interface is superb.But sometimes its a bit lagging.But, I am sure in future there would be some roms from xda that will iron some issues in touchflo 3d.But I do think the interface is very good in Daimond.Where as with apple iphone, the interface is very simple , where you turn the pages, but because of its simplicity , you cant go wrong with it.

Touch Screen(Hardware - touch feel) - I think apple iphone has got really good touch screen.It just easy for anyone to handle it straightaway.Where as touchdiamond you sometimes need to press your finger against the screen a little harder.Or you need to do a lot of registry tweaks to make it smoother.But with apple , its just the best touchscreen currently where it understands ur hand gestures accordingly.

Browsing - Apple wins here in a big way.If i quickly have to check the xda site, I take the apple rather than diamond. In the begining although I was impressed with diamond, somehow after sometime it really hard to undertand the way the opera is trying to do too many things at the same time and you get confused exactly how to zoom in.No, disrepct to either of the mobiles, but apple browser is simple and it really works well. And also , I dont know the reason why but diamond opera browser is really slow than IE in diamond.(Again, I am sure future roms will fix these.See with apple sometimes out of the box you get everything fixed)

Features - I think features wise, you can do quite a lot with diamond.You can install lof of applications you like.And you can do word editing , cut and paste anywhere in explorer , sending mms files, playing any multimedia files and watching tv, gps of ur own choice etc etc ,etc.But with apple you cant do all these things.You can only watch MP4 files , you cant cut and paste.And if you want to install anything , then you have to make sure , you purchase from apple.And for any other application , you have to puchase it from apple.(Apple - Note, in future apple might get all the applications via app store, but you still have to pay for any other applications.)

Physical Dimensions- Dimaond looks really stunning and small in your hands, but where as iphone looks like a brick.Diamond is the first WM Device with accelerometer and the screen is absolutely superb on diamond.Apple screen also looks really really good, but its a bit big size.

Other things- To be frank with you both have pros and cons for both, and even I am confused a little.One thing I hate about apple iphone is , you have to buy games and every other application in apple itunes, but not so much with diamond.There is a lot of support for WM devices especially XDA- Kudos to XDA.I think Microsoft should sponsor XDA guys.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] churchwa:
The main thing is you cannot run more than one application at once on an Iphone so if you were to have Navi running and you wanted to switch to the web for a moment you would lose everything that was going on with the Navi. i.e. GPS position etc. (This is just an example, but messenger I can see being a big problem)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] alipi2007:
mac iphone & winMobile devices cannot compare... this is only my opinion. but if u looking for good look.. so may be it helps. but functions & applications have to say 4get it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] happyguy82:
iPhone can't multitask?? really?? does this apply to the 2.0 firmware too? I suppose since 'churchwa' above referred to GPS positioning it must apply to the 2.0 firmware too??

btw, what Bluetooth profile does the 2.0 firmware offer?

The Diamond offers a HUGE selection of Bluetooth profiles.

If battery life is an issue, an extended battery for the Diamond will be out soon. At least the battery can be changed w/o having to heck the case open like the iPhone.

The reason why it's harder to go gestures on the Diamond is because it uses a resistive touchscreen as opposed to capacitive on the iPhone. On a resistive screen you need to apply pressure, on capacitive you need to touch.

We can't compare the Diamond to the iPhone in terms of software. The Diamond is a powerhouse developer/hacker poweruser phone and the iPhone is a very simplistic user friendly and intuitive phone.

In terms of hardware we find a few similiarities especially the presence of GPS and HSDPA on both devices.

Btw, what's the max HSDPA speed on the iPhone? is it 7.2Mbps as well?

Cheers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] matthijsvankeulen:
Go to a shop and hold both of them in your hands.

I had an iphone 8GB and liked it a lot for its design and ui. It is a functional phone and the ui is great. But the bad thing for me was that there's not a lot of 3rd party software to download. With win mobile there are a lot of possibilities to download 3rd party software.

Another thing to consider is the size of both phones. As I already wrote: hold both devices in your hand. Also hold them at you ear. You will notice that the iphone is bulky and heavy while the diamond is light and very compact.

At first with rom version 1.35 I wish I hadn't sold my iphone, but with the new 1.37 europe rom I am very happy. Scrolling through touchflow 3d is about as fast as iphone's ui.

BTW: battery life with the new 1.37 rom is much better. It should last for at least 2 days of normal use (some emailing, few calls, using opera for about 20 minutes).

It is also possible to adjust screen sensitivity. A light touch of your finger will do the job.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Syphon Filter:
Seriously, it depends on what you want from your device.

WM offers massive amounts of customisation, 3rd party software, no media restrictions, multi-tasking and in general a huge community.

iPhone offers ease of use at the cost of everything else pretty much. I will say this though, the browsing experience on iPhone is leagues ahead of anything else in the mobile market. They really nailed that on the head. Other mobile browsers dont come close. The key thing with the iPhone is that it's not trying to do or be too much. It's a phone, it plays video and music (only in particualar formats though) and it has the ability to browse the web. Even with the 3G iPhone, it's still not trying to be too much, yes it has GPS but at it's core it's still only doing about 4 or 5 things.

1. make calls/sms etc

2. play music

3. play videos

4. browse the web

5. use gps for google maps etc

That's it. Even with the app store, if you cant run background apps, plugins (like WM today screen etc) it becomes kinda limited.

A WM device is a whole different world. Yeah its a real pain in the ass at times and you ahve to tweak it etc to get it working 100%, things are never quite right out of the box. But after you fight through those birthing pains, you will have device that works (mostly) as you want.

The real question is what do you want. Simplicity or limitless possibilty?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] chalid:
I really dont know where this is coming from. I compared the iPhone/iPod Touch Browser with the newest Opera 9.5 and Opera Mini and each of them has there strenghts and weaknesses. Im quite happy with using Opera 9.5 on WM and dont see a reason changing to the iPhone for better webbrowsing.

The only big advantage i see, is the big screen. Its really nice, but makes the phone big too. Another thing is the finger-only usage of the screen, which isnt that desirable if you ask me. Working with a stylus is sometimes easier and faster - especially when writing notes.

Well, all other things were already mentioned in this thread. I personally will stick with Windows Mobile since I am really fast getting tired of using the same skin for too long. ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JanDaMan:
The definitive breakdown

Its a hard decision to make, i had to choose between the two (i could have waited for the 3G if i wanted) but ended up getting the Diamond. this is the frank breakdown:

lets start with the obvious! The iPhone has a larger screen and it is a lovely one BUT the screen on the Diamond is actually a higher Rez... I dont watch moves on my phone so i would rather have the higher REZ so i can fit more stuff on a page, and the screen on the diamond i have to say is fantastic. But some ppl may prefer that larger screen. It is also good to note this (something that a LOT of ppl dont understand/know) the touch sensitive screen on the iPhone is capacitance based, the one on the Diamond is resistive based. Whats the difference? well with the iPhone you dont need and finger pressure, just a light touch with you finger. the flaw in this system is that you cant use a stylus, or use it with gloves on, with the diamond you do need to put a bit of pressure BUT you can use it with gloves/a styles or anything and it is better for handwriting recognition

Then, the big thing about the iPhone 3G was the fast download speeds, BUT it uses an an old HSDPA of only 3.5mbps max, the diamond however can go up to HSDPA speeds of 7.3 Mbps! so faster loading web pages and watching youtube videos.

Now the iPhone does win when it comes to interface, the TF3D on the Diamond is very good, in fact its the best on any windows mobile device. BUT the iPhone does have a smoother and slicker interface. For me however with the latest ROM the Diamond is pretty close usability wise, and has some very nice animations etc.

Storage, your limited to 4GB on the diamond, but can have 8-16gb on the iphone, so thats a big plus for the iPhone

One big deciding factor for me... the camera, its just crap on the iPhone, and rather good on the Diamond (auto focus 3.2mp)...end of that

SIZE! i actually think the iPhone is too big! it is too long and too wide, the size of the diamond is fantastic IMO so small yet with more tech, again this comes back to if you want that big screen on the iphone or not...

Battery life... the iPhone takes it here again, BUT w8 because the diamond will soon be getting quite a few extend life batteries and that will make it more competitive in this front. also with the latest ROM the diamond lasts over a day no problem (unlike b4)

now this is the biggey, even with the iPhones new apps store, windows mobile is still gonna have a tonne more 3rd party apps that any iphone owner could ever hope to see... the interface, storage size, and scree size on the iphone are its redeeming features... the Diamond has a higher rez screen, an internet browser that it just as good as the iPhones, a much better camera, smaller size, forward facing camera for vid calls, faster HSDPA, better call sound qulaty you can put TomTom on it for gps, and many more 3rd party apps

i prefer the Diamond, what to you prefer... ooo i forgot to mention PRICE big difference, the iPhone 3G will be a lot cheaper.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Keep in mind for web pages you won't see a huge difference between 3.5mbps and 7.3mbps. The longest part of the page load there is typically connection to the network and dns lookup.

You'll see a difference with youtube obviously, but 3.5mbps is obviously fast enough to load the video faster than you can watch it anyway.

Another note, 3G speed decreases significantly with distance from the tower. HSDPA is only usefull close to the tower. So 7.3mbps is only really acheivable very very close to towers. And network coverage for HSDPA is already patchy, if there at all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Spawn12:
^^^Lets not forget that the iphone still doesnt support MMS capability...biggest deal breaker for me as i was considering to get one but not going to bother anymore. You would think that a phone such as the iphone would support mms out of the box but no it doesnt...you need to install a 3rd party app like swirlymms and frankly thats rubbish.

You mentioned the price issue??...£400 for the diamond is pretty damn good if you ask me...i was looking at spending a max of £500 for Diamond as thats what i thought it would fetch...well over at Expansys the grey imports were going for £500+...unlucky for the first buyers as its now come down in price. The iphone 2 sim free ie not on a network is going to be around £400 from what i have been hearing. Think i read somewhere that O2 will be charging that much for the PAYG unit...with a contract the iphone may very well be cheaper but you get tied into an 18 mth contract at £35..so 35x18 works out to about...£630 or thereabouts....so in the long run you end up shelling out more for the iphone....but most people wont really care about that.

One thing i do like about the iphone is the touchscreen...i love my ipod touch...if anything i do prefer the ipod touch screen to the Diamond but im slowly getting used to the Diamond now....awesome piece of kit.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
On O2 prepay its going to be £400. On contract it varies from £99 for 18 month £35 contract to free for 18 month £45 contract or above.

For the 16gb its a bit more.

I don't think it'll be sold sim free here. In france its a legal requirement, so you could always get one from there. But expect it to be 500 to 600 pounds!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] happyguy82:
iPhone 3G only supports 3.6Mbps HSDPA? lol

Btw, to be fair only Vodafone UK provides 7.2Mbps and even so only in a few areas but still it's nice to have the capability on hand... especially since they are selling 7.2Mbps USB dongle modems... it's nice knowing that you won't need one because your Diamond achieves the same speed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JanDaMan:
Well (in london / newcastle in the UK) i get very good HSDPA coverage, but on orange they are still upgrading to the 7.3 mbps standard probably to get ready for mobile TV etc... so i still maintain faster is always better ;) fair pont on the connection to network and dns lookup time but on graphically intensive pages, i feel there will be a noticeable difference between the two HSDPA standards.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] happyguy82:
To be honest, 7.2 is very very fast for a mobile phone and its processor. I doubt the processor on the phone will be able to receive and render graphics on a web page faster with a faster connection because the bottleneck will be the processing time locally on the phone.

The improvement will be seen when the phone's used as a modem and you download huge files from your laptop.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JanDaMan:
yeah can it process at 7.2, not sure, but it can process faster than 3.6 and thats the issue, good point with the modem thing too...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Syphon Filter:
Hrm, well my opinion on the browser is based on software rather than the hardware aspects of the iPhone.

The manner in which the pages are rendered and the ability to zoom etc is really great (i know that slightly contradicts my first line as the zooming is hardware related).

Don't get me wrong, I'll be getting a Touch Pro most likely (I wouldnt dream of getting an iPhone, it's far too locked down for my liking!).

I just think the browsing experience (bar the speed, or lack thereof) is really good on an iPhone.

EDIT:

With regards to iPhone multi-tasking, I thought it was explicitly stated in the T&C's or the SDK that no program would be allowed to run in the bcakground at all? Could someone clarify?

Xperia X1

This may be a bit of a tangent but i feel it fits in with this thread nicely.

Sony are going to release this mobile and i personaly think that it is the best of both worlds. It is similar to the diamond but qwerty keyboard and sd 2.0 in my opinion make it much better.

If you are considering a new mobile i think that this one definately deserves a look.:D
