[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tomchook:
Hey guys,

I read here that iGo can't be put on DIAMOND because it doesn't have a slot card, but then I saw this site (it's Italian, so I don't understand it, but the video is pretty obvious) http://www.hdblog.it/mobile/?p=88

So is it really possible? If so, then how do I do it?

another nebiew question.. it said that the developers can certify the ROMs, but they don't have the actual HTC diamond.. How can I be sure it won't brick it?

And one last question :) Where can I find the latest ME ROM?

Thanks!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Hello all! I am curious if free GPS (no data plan, just free GPS service) is available on the HTC 8525? I am really liking the Tilt [8925] with the full-keyboard, GPS, wi-fi, and 3 Megapixel camera, but I see that the HTC 8525 has a full-keyboard, wi-fi, and a 2 Megapixel camera. I can live with the 2-MP camera, but I really would like the GPS for free, if possible. Is there a GPS freeware software made for the 8525? Could the 8925 GPS software be installed on the 8525 with no issues?

Sorry if this sounds too easy. I am very inexperienced in "modding" a cell phone (my latest is making an old Motorola v120e WAP-enabled -- 4 years ago before cell phone carriers charged for it!). Back to the topic, if the GPS software requires modding the 8525, I would like a "modding for dummies" step-by-step instruction in layman's terms, and hopefully a guarantee that it won't fry the cell.

Lastly, if anyone has the 8525, would you be so kind as to critique it, compared to the 8925 if possible?

Thanks in advance!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Sorry for any confusion here. I overlooked that the 8525 is made for T-mobile. I didn't win it or bid on it yet, though. I don't believe that it's unlocked, but I'm sure there are some unlocking software out there. Point being, is the 8525 really worth the effort in unlocking it to AT&T, or should I just stick with the 8925 Tilt? The biggest difference is the 8525 costs $169.78 (used), where the Tilt starts about $250 (used).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
The GPS software that you can use on the Tilt can be used on the 8525. That's not really the problem. The issue is that the 8525 has no built in working GPS hardware. So this means you have to use a small bluetooth GPS receiver. It actually works well but you have to carry the bluetooth receiver in your pocket / car.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Interesting! I never knew that Bluetooth GPS existed! A BT-359 costs $46.95, which isn't too bad.

Sorry to get slightly off-topic, but what are the requirements for a handset to have, to be able to use that Bluetooth GPS device? I have the Samsung A707 Sync currently, would it be compatible with that handset? If so, would I need to get on an unlimited data rate plan [$30/month], or just by buying the GPS device, it covers all costs to using it? Is the software to put into the Sync included, or do I have to pay for it? I just use the Sync for voice calls (no texting/data messaging), but a hand-held GPS is pretty cool, especially when it's built-in to the cellular phone!

Thanks for your help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Sorry, can't say about your Samsung A707 but if you connect via bluetooth there are NO charges to use the GPS software (apart from getting the sodftware and maps) as long as its not something that constantly requires updating through the GPRS system. But thats just crazy to do... Better to get a standalone GPS program, I've got Tomtom, and purchase maps.

Cheers....:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Thanks for all the info! This is still all new to me, so forgive any stupid questions. Is there a difference between different Bluetooth models, besides the obvious rechargeable battery or included AC or DC power adapter?

I'm still unsure how this all works. What exactly does the Bluetooth adapter do, if the maps are stored on the cell phone? Like does it have up-to-date POI (points-of-interest) or are those required to be downloaded?

By the way, I have decided not to go with the 8525 at this point. I am still considering buying a Tilt (8925) if the Bluetooth adapter sounds too difficult to match up to my cell phone. (I understand that neither of you know for a fact if the Sync can get the maps loaded into it.)

Thanks again for any new info!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
As stated, I use a STANDALONE program... It has maps loaded onto an sd card and can be purchased from off Tomtom(if I wish to update to the latest).

As for the bluetooth adaptor, EASY to sync. Like a bluetooth headset with 1 or 2 more steps. I prefer my hermes to the tilt as /8925/variio III( the names go on 4ever) as it has EXCELLANT graphics drivers the other model doesn't, apparently there have been issues about this and it doesn't look like HTC give a damn about fixing it.

If the GPS is all you're after the bluetooth option is a good way to go but make sure you have at least 25 channels on your GPS receiver as I had a 16 channel receiver and it took up to and over 10 minutes to lock sometimes. Got a 52 channel receiver and it makes a HUGE difference. People say it shouldn't as there are only 25(?) GPS satellites but it makes a HUGE difference in lock time(< 1 minute) and signal strength...

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Just to clarify a little for the Original Poster.

Because the Hermes does not have a built in GPS receiver you need an external one. So the Bluetooth receiver receives the satellite data and then uses bluetooth to beam the data to the phone. (it is not using bluetooth to receive satellite info, but using it to send the info to the phone).

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Thanks for the detailed reply! I don't currently own the Hermes 8525; I seen it on eBay for the price I mentioned earlier and was considering buying it. About 15 minutes later, I realized it's intended for T-mobile service, which I know can be unlocked to any SIM-card compatible company (i.e. AT&T/Cingular in the States) for a fee.

I am a bit unsure what you mean by "Standalone" though. I presume you don't have a "ready out of the box" GPS system with viewing screen, but the only other option I can think of is you put the memory card into the cell phone (or a PDA / laptop PC).

My Bluetooth-compatible cell phone has a MicroSD memory card slot on it, and I have the SD card adapter where I can put songs, pictures, and text files onto my cell phone via the memory card. Therefore,all that is needed is a memory-card compatible cell phone, and then download maps to the memory card and insert it into the cell phone. If that's the case, then I should be set! I would only need to find a Bluetooth GPS adapter (with 25 channels for best results). Am I correct on this understanding?

I heard that there are a few free map sites online, do they offer POIs for free too? I am going on my honeymoon in Los Angeles, CA and would really like to just use my cell phone with the above features on it with the Bluetooth adapter for convenience as well as not having to carry a full-size GPS with me.]

Another silly question, if you don't mind. Do the Bluetooth adapters work on more than one device at a time? For instance, my Sync A707 cell phone and my fiancee's Blackberry Pearl could each have a copy of the maps. Would the receiver work on both cells at the same time; or is it only pairable to one at a time? For the above scenario, we would have to both be within the amount of feet required to receive the Bluetooth signal, of course. [Since we're on our honeymoon on the other side of the U.S., I doubt we'd be separated that far away.]

Thanks, that helped me understand it much better than before. Not to belittle ultra, but I was thinking the cellular phone had to have 25 channels, but he meant the Bluetooth adapter should have 25 channels for best results.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] es_bih:
I am considering a Hermes and probably will be getting one shortly within a week. I am not the OP, but either way thanks for the info. Which TomTom version is best on the Hermes - and which reciever is best with TomTom. Or is there a better GPS software for the hermes. Thanks again for all the info. I have been active on the Excalibur section, but have been interested in getting a Hermes as my next phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] es_bih:
To the OP, the 8525 is actually an AT&T/Cingular phone here in the US, not a T-Mobile. The Wing is the only PPC on T-Mobile. If it says T-Mobile -then it is unlocked as it already comes Cingular/AT&T capable.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Thanks for that info! I read that on the eBay listing, I just presumed it was accurate on the listing.

If I can get the Bluetooth adapter to work on my current cell phone I won't need the Hermes (as I would have to buy that adapter anyways). My current Samsung Sync has a 2-MP camera and music player, so the only thing I would be adding is the full QWERTY keyboard with the Hermes. I don't really think the Hermes is worth the $170 or more to me just for the keyboard (for text messaging).

I do like the Wi-Fi on the Tilt, so that the keyboard would be useful, to type online. That's why I am still leaning toward the Tilt, not the Hermes, if I do upgrade my cellular phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
ohpfan, is your mobile a windows os phone?

Thats why we are using GPS on ours. We can load the software on easily. You need to do a google search and find out if you can use the GPS software on your current phone. All phones are not the same and can't do everything another can. Nokia N-series has GPS, HTC too. You will have to check to see if yours is capable.

Cheers...:)

I hope you know that the

8525 has wifi
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Well, geez that eBay member sure didn't do his research then! Thanks for that info too!! I even looked on CNet to compare models and it didn't mention the 8525 has Wi-fi in it.

To ultra: I will check tonight about if my cell can support GPS. Been a busy weekend here, so not much time online.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
I just found out that the Sync uses a proprietary firmware, so I would say no to Windows OS :(. From my understanding, the Java in my Sync phone doesn't accept Bluetooth is why the GPS isn't able to work. Unless there's an updated Java that supports Bluetooth, I am not able to use my current cell. Which leads to the question: Is there a "universal" Java update for Bluetooth support, or is it cell phone specific?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
OK, I found a nice price for a 8525 on eBay, only $115 (including shipping) for one that is sold "as-is," but it doesn't sound like anything other than a battery or charger is wrong with it. I purchased it, and should be shipped on Wednesday. I will keep you all informed on what happens with it when I get it! Once I get it working, I'll go for the Bluetooth adapter later on.

Just a little update ... there is another Sync user who is trying to get the Samsung u600 firmware "altered" so that the Sync can use the Bluetooth GPS adapter.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Hi, I'm back again, with an AT&T-replaced reconditioned 8525. It's really strange, that I've made a full circle once again, after about a month of asking this question! I am now a bit wiser, and hopefully not as naive, as before!

As mentioned in other threads, I've updated to WM6 already. I am back on eBay looking for Bluetooth GPS adapters. Ultra mentioned earlier to look for a 25+ channel model, which I found two that meet or exceed that data.

My research has found the lowest price [shipping/handling-included] at $39.90 for a BT-5 (12 channels); the next one up at $44.48 for a Sirf-3 (12 to 16 channels); and the last at $44.99 for a BT5721 (44 channels).

The obvious choice is the BT5721 for only $5.09 more than the cheaper BT-5 model, but has anyone had experience with any of the 3 models mentioned? Also, it seems that the TomTom brand is predominant in the U.S., but how reliable is the software -- does it hang, lock up, etc.? I don't want to first experiment with it on my honeymoon and get the other half upset for being lost in the 'hood.

I will consider any suggestions for what models to buy, be it from any of the 3 above, or other ones. I would like to spend no more than $45, as the BT5721 seems the best deal right now!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
I sincerely recommend the one with the highest amount of channels. I know people will say that there are only 24 gps satellites BUT I had a 16 channel receiver and got BAD signal coverage (around urban environments especially). At one point my GPS software was telling me I was in the middle of Sydney Harbour (but to take the next right:confused: - don't ask me Tomtom did it...).

I updated to a 52 channel reciever and have had no problems since.

Others may have a different opinion but I believe the one with the most channels is money well spent, and the petrol you save running around in circles trying to get a GPS fix & trying to work out WHERE THE HELL YOU ARE (not to mention the high blood pressure and hair replacement costs) more than make up for the "extra" $$$$$...

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Thanks for the reply! After I posted on here, I located a 51-channel solar Bluetooth GPS -- the BT2.3MR (not available "Buy it Now" but first one I monitored sold for $56). To see the item I'm talking about, go to: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Solar-Bluetooth-GPS-Receiver-51-Channels-free-ship_W0QQitemZ300246493051. Are there any issues with solar-powered GPS devices? Or are they too new to even get feedback on?

I will keep looking for a 52-channel GPS receiver, as I'm pretty frugal with my money on eBay. Thanks again!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Would be good I suppose, except when its overcast, or at night....

Would still have to have a battery but I reckon it would extend the life pretty well on sunny days. Just check how long it would last on battery power alone in case of extended overcast weather or overnight travel....

Cheers...:D

30 hours is pretty good.... Don't believe a single channel would matter that much....

I 'll leave it up to you....:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Thanks again for the reply. I was trying to find a 52-Channel GPS on eBay, but none are sold there. I may try to search the whole internet for one though. I will monitor the model I found last for a nice price as well. To date, the BT2.3MR looks to be the best choice. If you would like to share what model you use, I can try to find it on the net as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ultramag69:
Was something I found on Ebay a while back - Antenna GPS made in Taiwan.. Never heard of it but gave it a shot - anything had to be better than my 16 channel reciever...

Cheers...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
I may have been a bit hasty, but I bought a used "i-Blue 737 Bluetooth GPS Receiver" from "buyGPSnow" on Amazon.com for $39 (as any order over $25 equals free ground shipping from Amazon). The same store has brand new ones with the updated firmware of 51-channels, including a windshield mount for $49.99. I didn't see a need for the mounting kit, as I would carry it in my pocket, so I optioned for the used one.

It's very vague how many channels are in the $39 one, but from the sound of it, it's easily upgraded to 51 channels via "software" as firmware was mentioned. I've seen varied channel ratings for the 737 across the net, ranging from 16, 32, 51, and to 52! Then again, most date back to 2006! On the other hand, there's one on eBay currently stating it has 32 channels.

I looked on the Transystem's website [www.transystem.com.tw] and there are two models of the 737, but both state they are 51-channels! Very confused here, but on the www.gpspassions.com website the author compared 5 various models and then praised the 737 to the hilt!

Any feedback on this model? I presume the battery is rechargeable and comes with at least one power pack charger. That's the only thing about Amazon.com I dislike -- the lack of product descriptions!!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithlatin:
I've had this phone less than a year. Bought it new. There were zero screen issues before this. Not even a hint. And the performance is unchanged.

Yesterday, out of nowhere, I got something like a clear vertical woodgrain distortion evenly across the entire screen. Didn't drop it. It hasn't been through anything new or had new apps. It wasn't even overheated.

The distortion has since become more varied. Sometimes woodgrain-pattern lines (both even and irregular) and sometimes bloom. Sometimes the colors just fade (usually this has a mix of faded and non-faded vertical lines.

I've noticed that when I turn the screen on and off it usually clears up completely, then the screen issues start after only a minute or so.

I'd rather not have to go through the nightmare of the warranty process if I don't have to. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

The Z4 supports an active stylus like the surface pen. It allows for Galaxy Note like features that no other phone supports. I believe it's the only phone that supports the Microsoft Surface Pen. The Huawei use AES and Samsung uses Wacom
[Moto Z4 Questions & Answers] damentz:
I know two people with Pixel 3as, and both of their speakers exhibit weird problems. For both of them, the speaker doesn't work during alarms, it's some known bug that Google hasn't fixed yet. One guy is constantly missing his alarm (because it only plays 1/5 times), and the other guy uses his previous phone while Google stumbles through with a fix.

The other common comparison is the camera. As far as I can tell from comparing shots on the same thing, both phones have identical detail, but they use different color palettes depending on the situation. The Pixel 3a tends to embellish what the scene actually looked like, while the Moto Z4 looks more true to life. Since I don't vanity post on social networks, I like the Z4 shots more.

And finally, the display. The Z4's display is better, it's bigger, and that makes multitasking more effective. You can play a video on the top or bottom of your screen in traditional 16:9, and fit a full regular sized game of Pokemon Go on the other 3/4th's. That's a specific feature I tend to use a lot though, if you don't multitask on your phone I can see that not being a big deal.
